The most interesting credit for "The Life," the new Cy Coleman musical, is, in very small type, "Based on an original idea by Ira Gasman," who is also credited with lyrics and part of the book.
Just how original is it to do a show about hookers and pimps on 42d St. in the pre-Disney era?
Is anyone, by the way, nostalgic for 42d St. when it was a human sewer? Nostalgic enough, that is, to pay $75 to see the kind of sleaze you used to be able to get for free?
If so, "The Life" may be just what you crave. Its stereotypical story is about Queen, a hooker with, you guessed it, a heart of gold. She does tricks only to help her boyfriend, Fleetwood, a traumatized Vietnam vet. Once she has made enough money, they persuade themselves, they will leave sordid New York.
Alas, Fleetwood becomes a cokehead. To support his habit he takes on another chick, ostensibly an innocent lass from Minnesota but in fact a seasoned pro eager to use her talents in the big leagues.
Fleetwood runs up against the most powerful pimp on the street, Memphis. Bitter that Fleetwood seems to be dumping her and their dreams, Queen comes on to Memphis at the Hooker's Ball at the end of a first act that is every bit as long but not quite as amusing as that of "Parsifal."
In the second act, virtually everyone comes to grief.
What is depressing about this is that the stage teems with talent. You wish there were better things for them to do. When you hear Chuck Cooper's sumptuous bass, you wish he were singing Crown in "Porgy and Bess." (There is a kind of cruel irony that, a generation ago, blacks refused to do "Porgy" because of the stereotypes that, as "The Life" attests, have now become part of popular culture.)
Pamela Isaacs makes Queen enormously appealing. She and Lillias White, yet another gold-hearted hooker, sing up a storm in "My Friend." White is great in a show-stopping number, "The Oldest Profession." Kevin Ramsey makes the doltish Fleetwood compelling, and Sam Harris has engaging energy as a snake.
Coleman's music has a smooth tang. Joey McKneely's choreography gives the cast's virtuoso pelvises a real workout. The physical production is appropriately abrasive.
I wish I could be happier that Broadway has finally embraced the assaultive vulgarity of the general culture.
''Fifteen thou-ou-ou-sand!'' As pronounced by the actress Lillias White, each syllable in this numeral opens into a cry of fatigue to make your every muscle ache in sympathy.
As a street-worn Times Square hooker named Sonja, Ms. White has picked up a calculator to figure out just how many clients she has served in her long life on the game. Her wonderfully dazed response to the answer is part of a song called ''The Oldest Profession,'' which arrives like manna in the long first act of the new Cy Coleman musical, ''The Life,'' which opened Saturday night at the Ethel Barrymore Theater.
The jokes in the song aren't very fresh (''I've had so many Shriners I'm up for membership''). Nor is it possible to disguise the fact that Ms. White's acerbic but big-hearted character is a fictional archetype that has been around nearly as long as her chosen profession.
But this performer, who stopped the show by bringing an unexpected infusion of gospel style to the recent revival of ''How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,'' can't strike a note or speak a word without sounding convincing.
Here, she transforms Mr. Coleman's jaunty jazz melody into a throbbing, funny confession that finds the soulful energy in being dog-tired. Even more remarkably, she delivers most of the number seated in a chair. She's not visibly working the audience; she seems to have just opened a faucet and let the feelings flow over everyone watching her.
There's a lot wrong with ''The Life,'' which has lyrics by Ira Gasman and is directed by Michael Blakemore. Its tone is as frustratingly variable as this month's weather; its book, by Mr. Gasman and Mr. Coleman with David Newman, reeks of bottom-drawer, B-movie melodrama, and it consistently dilutes the electricity of its songs by overcrowding its melodically repetitive score.
Yet ''The Life'' has at least one thing going for it, something that's been hard to locate in this season of big but bloodless musicals like ''Titanic'' and ''Steel Pier'': a definite human pulse. Its cast and especially the women in it give off a raw, self-delighted vitality that compels attention even through the show's many embarrassing moments.
''The Life'' has been gestating for well more than a decade (Mr. Coleman spoke of working on it as long ago as 1986), and it has been preceded by an all-star recording of some of its songs, featuring Liza Minnelli and Lou Rawls. And while its book has reportedly gone through many transformations, it still feels in desperate need of surgery, with a first act that is overextended to the point of numbness and outrageously cliched plot turns that beg to be taken seriously.
In focusing on the seedy hustlers and prostitutes who inhabited the margins of Times Square in the early 1980's, before the days of Disneyfication and theme megastores, Mr. Coleman and his associates seem to have hoped to create something with the brusque social impact of ''West Side Story,'' ''Rent'' or even ''The Threepenny Opera.'' (It evokes elements from all three.)
But its story of love and betrayal among predatory pimps and the women they exploit would have seemed creaky even in the Warner Brothers urban crime dramas of the 1930's, when whores were still referred to as ''dance hall hostesses.'' And when the show tries to shock you with full-strength brutality (as when a hooker's face is beaten to a bloody pulp), it jolts in all the wrong ways.
The characters here include Queen (Pamela Isaacs), a principled prostitute who wants a real home and a marriage; Fleetwood (Kevin Ramsey), her weak-willed, cocaine-addicted pimp and lover, and Jojo (a miscast but golden-toned Sam Harris), the show's narrator and the couple's double-crossing friend. Then there are Memphis (Chuck Cooper, of the shivery bass voice), a mean, bear-sized master pimp straight out of ''Superfly,'' and Lacy (the excellent Vernel Bagneris, who is wasted here), a lovable old bartender.
There are also the other working girls on the block, who range from Ms. White's battle-scarred veteran to Mary (Bellamy Young), the deceptively fresh-faced ingenue. Individually and as a team, they're the show's greatest assets. And when they line up on the edge of the stage to sing ''My Body,'' an angry, defiant defense of their profession, the evening truly takes on the spirited, confrontational quality it is always striving for.
Mr. Coleman, the composer of such fabled musicals as ''Little Me,'' ''Sweet Charity'' and ''City of Angels,'' provides some zesty jazz- and vaudeville-inflected tunes. But he often stretches them to the point of thinness, and his ballads are of the ilk you can imagine a lounge singer crooning at 3 A.M. (a feeling underscored by Don Sebesky's and Harold Wheeler's synthesizer-driven, 1970's-ish orchestrations).
Fortunately, most of the ballads go to Ms. Isaacs, who has a husky, vibrato-shaded voice, somewhere between Tina Turner and Helen Morgan, which resonates affectingly with pain and longing. Like Ms. White, she delivers absolutely everything (including some clunky sung recitative) with commanding sincerity and polish.
Joey McKneely's dance routines, while lively, often feel like secondhand Fosse (a mistake when the real thing is on display nearby in ''Chicago''). But Mr. Blakemore has the good sense to keep the staging clean and naturalistic. And Robin Wagner's gritty sets and Martin Pakledinaz's dead-on, amusingly tacky costumes exactly evoke a time it's hard to feel much nostalgia for.
For all its irritating lumpiness and misjudgments (and there are sure to be audience members who will find it offensive), ''The Life'' at least is alive. And it actually has some songs, and at least two performances, that linger in the memory. Small potatoes, maybe. But in this season of anemic new musicals, that's something to hold onto.

I'm going to try to get my decorating done this weekend and take some pics to post next week. I'll let you know what (if anything) gets done...
I love Halloween, we used to go the most fun parties! The last few years I've been working.
I never dressed as a Disney Character , with the exception of Mickey Mouse for a band show during football season.
DD has been Minnie Mouse, Tinker Bell, Cinderella and Esmerelda over the years.
DS has been Aladdin, the Blue Power Ranger and Goliath (from Gargoyles)
Uh hem... Where is TNBC ?
From your list I'd have to say...
The Adventures of Ichabod Crane
The Tower of Terror
I enjoyed Twitches, have never seen Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown is cute but not on my list.
Have you seen the Disney Channel movie "Under Wraps" about three kids reanimating a Mummy? I enjoyed it a lot.
Actually, you can give me a Dracula or Mummy movie any time of the year, oh yeah!
<--- Me getting into the halloween spirit!

Okay, at the risk of bringing down the wrath of SuperOber, I'm not that crazy about TNBC, but still consider it a Christmas movie more than a Halloween movie.
Another vote for Hocus Pocus , I also like the old Charlie Brown and Gar-Halloween-Field (Garfield) cartoons. I bought that Eddie Murphy movie "The Haunted Mansion" last year (on sale) but still haven't opened it yet. So we will have to watch it this year (although I have heard it's not very good)!
Oh that would be great! I don't remember which order but here are the costumes i have worn:
-Dorothy from wizard of oz..i know i know
-Minnie Mouse
-A southern Bell(you know, "we want the red head) except i look exactly like the girl in red

North East Inheritance database (pre-1858 Durham Probate Records)
Online images from familysearch are now hyperlinked from catalogue entries in this database. After you have done a search, you can click on the document references to load the relevant image(s).
Simple search
If you want to carry out multiple name searches, or browse lists of probate records arranged by name, you may prefer to use the alphabetical lists. These are available on the downloads page. Otherwise, type in the name you are looking for (or the first few letters) and click on the list names button (hitting Enter may not work in all browsers).
Note that the probate database only includes the names of the deceased persons whom wills and administrations relate to. Other names mentioned within wills (widows, children etc) are not included. The collection covers pre-1858 wills only.
You can type in either a full name in the form Lucas, Caroline (including the space), just the surname, or the first few letters only of the surname.
Note that names are not yet standardised within the probate database, so you may need to search for all possible variant spellings, or type in just the first few letters of the name. If you need to refine your search by date, or search by anything other than personal name, you should use the advanced search instead of this one. The advanced search also enables separate searches of surnames and forenames, and searches for variant spellings of the surnames.

like it too much
Unfortunately I super love this purse. Which means it is probably being discontinued as I write this. The inside striped interior helps me find things. Tech pocket is perfect large size. Love the many zippered compartments. Look is elegant-casual. Would have liked a place to hang keys but other than that is perfect. So...Clark's I guess you better discontinue this purse :'( .

A planter? |

It is not deep enough for a planter. The pot is only about 4-5" deep. Thanks though |
Holy water font. Linda C |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 21, 09 at 17:53
I don't know - looks a little low for a holy water font; particularly a portable font. And without ecclesiastical decoration... Fonts were generally fixed and made of stone, but during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, movable fonts started to appear and generally consisted of a tub placed upon an elevated socle (a short plinth used to support a pedestal or sculpture) the usual height being about forty inches. But, I'm shooting in the dark here. |
I've never seen anything like it. It looks like a brass bowl sitting atop a wood pedestal, but the inside of the bowl, is it copper? It looks like something wet was supposed to sit in it/on it. Dimensions would help, but it looks about 18" high? Higher? Do you think the brass is original to the wood pedestal? I've seen waterproof inserts inlaid or atop plant stands. It's certainly not a typical fern stand, but is the bottom of the bowl flat (can't see in the pic) so that it could accommodate a flower pot? |

OK. Here is the inside of the bowl. Yes, it is hammered copper on bottom and brass on top and handles. It just sits in the stand. It is not deep enough to be a planter, so lets keep trying to figure this one out. thanks again. Staci |
Here is a link that might be useful: inside bowl
I didn't say it was a planter. I suggested it might be a plant stand. There is a difference. Plant stands were wildly popular in the Victorian era. You put your already potted plant on/into one, you don't plant it in the stand. I still don't know what it is, but the fact it's only four inches deep doesn't rule out a plant stand. I've seen the same thing in wrought iron for outside use, but never in wood. |
The inside is not "flat" but dished....rounded...is that correct? Also plants don't do well in copper, over time the copper leaches out salts that make the plant very sick! I still think it's a baptismal or holy water font. Sits on a table or a side altar. It has obviously had water in it by the corrosion. Where did you get it? Linda C |
It looks like an old version of a chafing dish. Maybe inside the copper insert, sat a glass insert that food could be put into, and may have had a copper lid to keep the food warm or cold. |
I know about copper and plants, but have seen a lot of copper planters in my business so somebody who designed them didn't know. I have some of them up in my greenhouses in fact. Agree if the copper thing is bowled it doesn't make sense either to hold a flower pot, unless it was one of the pottery bowl type urns. Seen a lot of those too from the old art potteries. Could be a holy water font, but I'm catholic and never saw anything like this either in this country or elsewhere. Could be a chafing dish, but is the wooden top entire underneath, or open so that the brass or copper dish shows? Does it lift out? Whatever it is, it's obviously meant to be decorative, it's obviously meant to hold fluid or something wet. And it looks heavy enough that it isn't something portable you'd want to haul out for a meal. |
1. Fondu pot? An alcohol lamp would be placed under the bowl to keep the cheese melted. 2. A pot for melting wax for dipping wicks and building up a candle? 3. An old time fat lamp. Fat and or wax was held in the bowl and a wick sticking up could be lighted? 4. Does the top part lift out and can the bottom part hold water? If so, it could be a steamer. |
- Posted by stacisantiques (My Page) on Wed, Jul 22, 09 at 10:47
The pot does lift out. It is rounded on edges, but flat hammered on bottom and does show from underneath. It just sits in the stand. You just lift it out of the stand by the handles on the pot. I see no evidence of a lid sitting on it, but I guess at some time there could have been one. Ive personally never seen a wooden stand like this for a chaffing dish, only metal, but hey, who knows. Ive tried looking up old/antique holy water fonts with no success in anything that looked like this, but it could be. Maybe someone else who reads this will know right off the bat and I will have to applaud them because I would never figure it out on my own. |

It's a brazier. You burn coals or charcoal or incense in it. Linked to a Japanese one. |

- Posted by antiquesilver (My Page) on Wed, Jul 22, 09 at 14:36
If it was a brazier, wouldn't it be cast metal? Seems like sheet copper would burn through too easily & a wooden base wouldn't be ideal. How about something that holds a large floral arrangement, as opposed to a potted plant? |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, Jul 22, 09 at 21:20
I was going to say brazier or incense burner or the base for one. Maybe meant to be more ornamental than useful. Its not a Catholic baptismal font IMO, it would not be made of those materials, and in the era it appears to be from Catholic fonts were standing height. I can't speak for other baptismal rites, but aren't they mostly by immersion? |
Ever wandered around some of the old cathedrals and churches in southern Europe? There are lots of short baptismal fonts....and on the site I linked there is one German one that is very similar. |
1. A foot washing bowl for Southern Baptists and Primitive Baptists. [Religious ritual] ? 2. A fancy doggie water dish? |
My first thought was Asian incense burner. The bowl is filled with sand and burning incense sticks stood upright in the sand as an offering before an altar. |
It is certainly not a baptismal font for a Roman Catholic Church (which would always have a cross or similar inscription on them and never be so short with handles like that), but of course it could be a baptismal font for another faith. I like colleenoz's idea--when I read it the image became clear in my mind! I've seen similar incense burners in Thailand. |
Just amazing what you can find online! Check out this link. http://www.kandaki.com/BP-Index.php I haven't looked through it all yet, but there are some similar pieces. AND, there seems to be a forum where you might inquire whether your piece is indeed an incense burner! |
There are many many baptismal fonts in Catholic churches that are short and lacking a cross or other symbolism. Also the cross might have been on a lid. Here's one at the Cathedral in Magdeburg, Germany. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Baptismal_Font_Magdeburg.jpg&imgrefurl=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baptismal_Font_Magdeburg.jpg&usg=__s2HUw0Vs7AnSG2w9F_SIdvAiII4=&h=1049&w=1162&sz=302&hl=en&start=6&um=1&tbnid=PHBODd5fvg4TLM:&tbnh=135&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcathedral%2Babaptismal%2Bfonts%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1 There are more. Check Google images. It's not uncommon for a font to be placed on a plinth and to have a lid. This piece appears to have had a lid at one time. I think it's European or American. I think it dated from about the mid 19th century....and it could have been used for a baptismal font. It could also have been used to hold sand to put out cigarettes and cigars in a fancy hotel...or to hold incense sticks. But it's unwise to say that a Roman Catholic baptismal font would ALWAYS have a cross or inscription. I can show you lots of pictures of Roman Catholic fonts without inscriptions. But, the more I think of it, the more I like the idea of a sand bucket for smokes. The handles would provide for easy emptying... But the piece looks like it had a lid.... Adds to the puzzle! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Italian font
The item in question is maybe a foot and a half tall. That's not short.......that's something a priest would have to get down on his knees to use, or place on a table of some sort. It's also not portable enough to throw on the back of a horse for house calls. I think if we are dating this piece to the mid nineteenth century (myself I suspect a bit later than that) we need to consider what the customs were in that era in the church. For planned sacraments, the parishioners traveled to the church. In my county, they traveled twenty some miles to the next county as often as they could manage for things like baptisms and weddings, until a kind protestant donated the land and money for the first Catholic church here. A church was a permanent fixture and cornerstone of the community. Even in this new territory, they tended to be permanent and have stone baptismal fonts. If a priest had to travel somewhere for an emergency baptism, a font isn't even necessary.......just the water, the words and the proper intention. There simply wasn't a need for a not-so-portable "portable" font. At that time the Church also had guidelines as to the form and design of fonts. Stone was the preference, pedestals were also. There are exceptions, but if this is one, then it's a keeper because it would really be special. |
lindac, you are clearly an expert in such things, so I bow to your greater judgement. But as a 20 year plus university professor of Catholic culture and architecture I have never seen a Roman Catholic baptismal font even remotely close to this one and I've seen a million of them in many different countries. There is, however, always a first time, isn't there? I'll run the picture by several priest friends of mine for their opinion. |

I personally think it is PART of an umbrella stand, the bottom part where the rain could drip off the umbrellas and collect. You are missing the top cylinder that would actually hold the umbrellas up. Based on - having seen a few complete ones. They often get split up when someone turns great-grannie's old thingamajig into a stand for potted plants and loses the top part. |
I think you're on to something there. I used to have an old Victorian era hall seat, and come to think of it...it had the claw feet, and attached to one arm of it was an umbrella receptacle. It was copper too. |

Medal Of Honor Warfighter PS3 review – shooting for America like its 2007
Warfighter is at best competent. A slightly damning indictment meaning that at its highest shooty peaks this is basically average. And a five odd year old average at that, with dialogue and gameplay that crib so hard from the Modern Warfare/Generation Kill school of American foreign policy that it touches down somewhere between parody and homage. Apparently this season's way to talk in armyland is to call everyone "brother". Roger? Over. Review actual. Hard copy, out.

Meet Your Power Animals
& Spirit Teachers
An introduction to the Shamanic Journey
Cascades Washington
The practice of Shamanism predates all recorded history and religions and was the first way our ancestors accessed the Divine in the Lower, Middle, and Upper Worlds of Non-Ordinary Reality.
Through the rapid percussion of drum or rattle, shamans experienced an ecstatic state of travel into these spiritual realms known as the "journey" for the purpose of bringing help, healing, guidance, and protection to their communities.
In this two-day experiential workshop you will be introduced to some of the fundamental concepts of Shamanism, and will be taught how to journey into the Lower, Middle and Upper Worlds.
In the Lower World you will meet your Power Animal, that is, your guardian spirit in animal form. In the Middle World you will meet the spirits and nature devas in the elemental kingdom who can assist you in your daily life. In the Upper World you will meet your Spirit Helper, that is, your guardian spirit in either angelic or human form.
Quick Links
Evie Kane, M.F.T., is a licensed psychotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and ordained spiritualist minister. She has studied with major healers and shamans with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in the Celtic, Peruvian, and Native American traditions. She specializes in performing sacred ceremonies bridging shamanic healing practices with the Angelic realms of light and love.

text: My Bio: Given Ideas Visual Productions (formerly Given Ideas Photography) is a small business with large ambitions. My mission can't be better put then how photographer Sam Adel put it "I see something special and show it to the camera. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs." Given Ideas is about finding that special moment, thought or idea and sharing it with anyone who willing to take a moment to appreciate it. It started as a photography business and are now offering video production and graphic design as well. I have come to realize over the past few years how, in their own unique ways, these too can be incredible instruments in the projection of these ideas. My goal isn't to sell you an image of say a sunset or take pictures of your family at the park. What I do aim to do is express the emotion felt when a experiencing a vast and complex setting of the sun and allow you to put it on your own wall or capturing that moment that each of your family members will remember in a way that they will be filled with warmth when they see the image decades down the road. It comes down to how open one is to experiencing the incredible world that we as artists see behind our cameras. So, with that said please take a few minutes and soak in the moments, thoughts and IDEAS I have captured for you. Check out my webpage for much more photos and booking details. Jeremiah Nielsen

An Irish banker taped saying he would demand cash from authorities to keep operating and making light of a 2008 bailout, prompting criticism around Europe, apologized for his comments in an interview published on Sunday. Public outrage has grown after the Irish Independent published taped telephone conversations between executives of the now-defunct Anglo Irish Bank, wrecked in 2008 when a property bubble burst after years of reckless lending. David Drumm, then-chief executive of Anglo Irish, had said he would demand "moolah" – slang for money – from the central bank in tapes of conversations that mocked a bank guarantee that pushed Ireland into years of austerity. In his first public comments since the tapes were published, Drumm told the Sunday Business Post that the recordings were made at a stressful and volatile time but there was "no excuse for the terrible language or the frivolous tone". "I sincerely regret the offence this has caused," the Sunday Business Post quoted Drumm as saying. "I cannot change this now, but I can apologize to those who had to listen to it and who were understandably so offended by it." [Reuters, Earlier: "Get into the fucking simple speak – we need the moolah, you have it, so you're going to give it to us, and when would that be?" Drumm said.]

Reuters reports that Ireland's parliament has approved the 85 billion euro bailout, by a vote of 81 to 75. In related news, one Canadian posing as a Irish citizen recently offered his two cents on the situation, noting that there are four causes of Ireland's current predicament. They are: 1) 'greed, greed and more greed' 2) 'the stupid fucking government' 3) 'very deceitful and conniving developers' 4) 'wanking fucking bankers…assholes.' Read more »

Earlier this week, we got word via some RBS higher-ups that bonuses for the Queen's bitches would be "less than 2009″ this year. How much less? If you're lucky, apparently thirty percent and if you're not, more. So, this is not the best news if you happen to be an employee of the Royal Bank (nor is the fact that the payouts don't come until June) and while it may be little solace, consider taking heart: you could be working in Ireland, where the government has passed out its routing number and asked the banks to direct deposit employees' bonuses in its checking account.

I have nothing against organic produce, of course, but I don't appreciate the EWG's willful perpetuation of misinformation.
This year there didn't seem to be as much panic surrounding the EWG's lists, however — produce industry work from the Alliance for Food and Farming and others seems to have paid off.
From curiosity, I typed phrases like "carrots are," "spinach is" or "potatoes are" into Google to see what the auto-fill results were. The third suggestion for spinach was "spinach is bad for you."
I thought maybe that search would bring up stories from the 2006 E. coli outbreak, but instead I found an article on The Healthy Home Economist suggesting we should never eat raw cruciferous vegetables, including arugula, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, radishes and watercress, because doing so would interfere with the proper function of the thyroid gland.
This article also said raw white mushrooms contained suspected carcinogens and that eating raw alfalfa sprouts frequently could contribute to inflammatory arthritis or lupus.
Are any of those statements scientifically sound? I have no idea, and, though I like many of those vegetables cooked, I won't stop eating them raw, either.
But I'm concerned about consumers who glance at information like this and decide to write off certain produce items altogether for fear they're endangering their health or that of their family.
On the Internet people can easily find information to substantiate almost any opinion or theory.
Is the correct information about your product or company positioned so consumers are more likely to find it first?
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

Wiseguyz Pizzeria slings pies across the Salt Lake City area, offering a host of specialty pizzas, hot sandwiches, and crispy golden calzones at five separate locations. The signature pie is coated with barbecue sauce and topped with chicken, cheddar, and fresh cilantro. Classic sandwiches include the Philly steak and cheez, which features meat, alfredo sauce, mushrooms, peppers, and melty mozzarella and Swiss.
As one of America's oldest and final bastions of the pizza, arcade, and animatronic-variety-show trifecta, Chuck E. Cheese upholds an important entertainment legacy. Though their core philosophy and slogan, "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid," sounds like a simple-enough mantra to maintain, many years have passed since Atari inventor Nolan Bushnell opened the first location in San Jose.
Despite the ever-changing nature of entertainment consumption, Chuck E. Cheese has done nothing but flourish. Intrinsic to this continuing knack for capturing kids' imaginations is its incorporation of modern entertainment and adherence to the robotic act that got it started in the first place. Chuck, Jasper T. Jowls, and Helen Henny are all still there, suspending a new generation's disbelief in gargantuan singing animals. Their charms, though, have been bolstered for the appetites of modern kids with more immersive games, wilder rides, and sweeter prizes.
Skytubes traverse the ceilings as an oversize human Habitrail, offering fantastical escape for energetic kids above the lights and sounds of the arcade. Staples such as skee ball and hoops now stand alongside sense-saturating simulator rides and the latest video games. At many locations, even the variety show has been modernized for the digital era. In its place is an interactive experience dubbed Studio C, where, thanks to bluescreens and video cameras, kids get to jam with Mr. Cheese himself.
Majestic cannons extend from the wall of a realistic pirate ship in Pirate Island Pizza's fantastical surroundings, as family-friendly fare and adventurous entertainment satisfies swashbuckling sprouts and hungry adults alike. Esurient expeditions can set sail with a dish of Pirate Coconut Shrimp ($8.99) and follow with a choice of bread bundles such as the Buccaneer Beef Sandwich, a fresh ciabatta bun filled with grilled black Angus steak, chipotle mayonnaise, sautéed peppers and onions, and draped in melted swiss cheese ($7.99).
Santa Monica Pizza and Pasta Co.'s chefs squash hunger with handcrafted pizza coated in freshly made sauces and inventive topping combinations. Pizza meals commence with complimentary breadstick bites before guests dig into an appetizer such as the baked ravioli or garlic cheese bread. Patrons sink incisors into the titular Santa Monica pizza—a pesto-coated pie covered in grilled chicken, roasted tomatoes, and bacon mimicking a map of the Pacific Coast—or satisfy a protein craving with the meat freak, a red-sauce base layered with sausage, salami, meatballs, and ham. For customized noshing, patrons can summon the perfect pie, a blank, cheesy canvas waiting to support up to 7 of 30 available toppings, such as artichoke hearts, habanero powder, and pepperoni. Though not included with this Groupon, Santa Monica Pizza and Pasta Co. pours out more than 20 beers that pair excellently with their signature glass of water.
At each of FatCats' five locations, strikes and spares light up the screens of automatic scoring systems. Bowling balls roll and skip down lanes in normal conditions, against retractable bumpers, or under the fluorescent glow of Thunder Alley, when the facility transforms into a music-filled fusion of a bowling alley and dance club. Each lane's crashing pins echo the softer clacking of putters at the glow-in-the-dark miniature golf course and the ringing lightshow of the arcade. Elsewhere, the scents of pizza and deep-fried bowling balls waft through the fun haven. Each FatCats location partners with different restaurants, including The Pizza Factory and Champzz Bar at its Salt Lake facility.
Hand-crafted sauces and imported cheese form the base of many of the Italian specialties at Gloria's Little Italy. Plump potato gnocchi—a customer favorite—and oven-baked salmon grace tables at dinner, and lunchtime ushers in waves of paninis and pizzas dressed in fresh veggies and meatballs. Pick out a cannoli from the glass display case or stop in on a weekend night to have a live accordionist soundtrack your dinner.

Yet another LEGO app for the iPhone/iPad...
Posted by Huw,...However this one is different, this is an official LEGO game! Now you can play LEGO Creationary on your iDevice. The description reads:
How quickly can you guess what's being built from LEGO bricks?
Creationary is the award-winning build-and-guess LEGO game that challenges the imagination, creativity, building and guessing skills of you, your family and friends with more than 300 bricks and accessories. With LEGO Creationary, you can guess what's being built on iPad, iPhone & iTouch in this true-to-the-original-board-game app!
"Roll" the LEGO dice to find out which of the 4 randomly selected categories you're guessing: nature, vehicles, buildings or things. The game starts building an object from that category out of LEGO bricks, and you have to guess which of the four possible answers is correct by tapping the illustration that you think matches what is being built. The faster you guess correctly, the more points you earn. The more you play, the more difficult the game becomes. Guess incorrectly and the game ends.
You can read more and see screenshots at iTunes.
I have my daughter who's at Uni to thank for the news: she found it in the AppStore and txt'd her sister who told me :-)
I'm off to download and play it now, I'll let you know what it's like later!
Later... Well I have to say, it's fun for 5 minutes but there's not much to it! Basically you have to guess what's being built on the screen before it's completed. There's no actual building or anything else remotely interesting involved. It's not much more than an advert for LEGO games. I guess the best thing about it is that it demonstrates that LEGO is investing in developing games for mobile platforms so we can but hope that if this one is deemed a success that better games will follow.
Android users (of which I am one) we need not fret, it's not worth changing allegiance for. Besides, we have Angry Birds now...
15 comments on this article
Sounds fun. Wish i had a iPhone...Plus, does any one now if the first creation game is on brickset?
Docter Leg O': Exactly what I was going to say!
Here we go... LEGO going in the iPhone/iPad app business. :P Too bad... :( (Yes, you heard me right, too bad)
Any Android love coming anytime soon? :-)
Yet another iphone app.. Again i have to ask, are we Android users doomed to obscurity??
Bought it just now and ive already completed it :( there was only 15 levels. Not really worth the effort getting it.
is it free?
EDIT: yes it is free :)
It's very basic - nothing much more than a demonstration and advert for Creationary really. The actual Lego game is a lot more fun than the iPhone version though, given that you actually get to make the models yourself and play against your friends/family.
Still, good to see Lego venturing out into more iPhone games/apps. Perhaps they could do better by simply buying / co-opting some of the existing ones though (such as Mini Collector)?
What are "Angry Birds"? :)
Doctor Leg O'Brick-No it isn't, but it might be considered a Roseart product and not LEGO.
well the app is free so you can't expect so much out of it any way
My small kids (6 & 4) will like it.
Excuse me, small typo under tha "links" tab: "All links oprn in a new browser window."
in my opinion its quite a good app as there's some creations on there. lego should do some sort of LDD app for the ipod.
@alemas did u spell open wrong
I just found out some news about an other Lego iOS game: Lego Harry Potter years 1-4

On opening day, 30 MLB closers will be unveiled to the world. If previous experience is any indication, before the season ends 10 will be gone, 10 will under perform expectations and some players you never considered or even heard of at the outset of the season will be grabbing saves come August. With this inherent unpredictability surrounding closers as a backdrop, let's go from worst to first around the majors. The Chief Competition represents the player most likely to step in should they falter or suffer an injury. We'll cover the top 15 closers Sunday.
30. Miguel Batista, Seattle Mariners: Assuming Seattle does not sign a free agent, Batista probably gets the nod to start the season. He does have a pedigree, having saved 31 contests as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays in 2005. He is deserving of last place on this list, having walked more batters (79) then he fanned (73) and winning just four games as a starter last season with a lofty 6.26 ERA. Chief Competition: Roy Corcoran.
29. Fernando Rodney, Detroit Tigers: Rodney was tossed into the fray last season after Todd Jones went down and it was a decidedly mixed bag. He has the stuff to be a successful closer but struggles with his command and appeared flustered at times on the mound. While converting 13-of-19 save opportunities in 2008, his struggles mounted after the All-Star break with a 4.07 ERA and 24 walks in 31 innings. Chief Competition: Brandon Lyon.
28. George Sherrill, Baltimore Orioles: If the 2008 season had ended on May 31, Sherrill would likely have been awarded Fireman of the Year honors. On that date, he was already sitting on a major league leading 17 saves. Unfortunately for Sherrill, the season continued and his performance deteriorated. Along the way, he accumulated 14 additional saves but watched his ERA balloon to 4.73 with a 1.50 WHIP. Control was a sticking point, as he walked 33 in 53 innings. Chief Competition: Chris Ray

George Sherrill began last season as a top closer, but fell significantly in the second half. He ranks 28th on this list. |
27. Troy Percival, Tampa Bay Rays: Didn't this guy already retire? After stints with the Angels, Tigers and Cardinals, Percival brought his traveling show to Tampa Bay. Although netting 28 saves last season, injuries have become a way of life with him. He might earn 20 saves in 2009, but it won't be pretty. He is the classic high risk, relatively low reward option. Chief Competition: Grant Balfour
26. Frank Francisco, Texas Rangers: Overcoming his chair throwing fetish, Francisco emerged last season as the Rangers closer. He grew into the role and improved as the season progressed, posting a 2.45 ERA with 38 strikeouts in just 26 innings following the All-Star break. He has serious breakout potential with an upside of 25-30 saves this year. Chief Competition: C. J. Wilson
25. Joel Hanrahan, Washington Nationals: Hanrahan outlasted the competition to remain the last closer standing in 2008. Anointed when Jon Rauch was shipped to Arizona in July, the early results were encouraging as he racked up nine saves before tailing off in September. Hanrahan employs a 95 mph fastball to good advantage and should improve with additional experience. He needs to minimize base runners (4.5 walks per nine innings last season) to be truly effective but is a strong candidate to corral 25 saves in 2009. Chief Competition: Saul Rivera
24. Chris Perez, St. Louis Cardinals: Perez was the Cardinals first round pick in the 2006 draft and rewarded their confidence last season with a solid second half. With Jason Isringhausen departed, Perez enters the 2009 season with first crack as team closer. However, the situation in St. Louis is fluid with closer by committee a real possibility. Chief Competition: Jason Motte, Ryan Franklin
23. Trevor Hoffman, Milwaukee Brewers: After a Hall of Fame worthy career with the Padres, the six-time All-Star heads east in an effort to pad his career saves record. Hoffman is 40 and worked a modest 45 innings last season while recording 30 saves. The Brewers may expect him to shoulder a heavier workload and could be in for a surprise, as Hoffman's tendency to surrender home runs is trending upward (eight last year following just two in 2007). He remains a determined competitor but will miss the friendly confines of PETCO Park. Chief Competition: Jorge Julio
22. Huston Street, Colorado Rockies: Although just 25, Street has gone from elite closer to answering help wanted ads in Colorado. We're assuming he edges out Manny Corpas for the starting gig in 2009. An injury waiting to happen, Street notched 18 saves in Oakland last season before a hip problem bumped him from the closer role. He's now relegated to the high risk, medium reward category with 20 saves a possibility this season. Chief Competition: Manny Corpas.
21. Matt Lindstrom, Florida Marlins: Lindstrom is a big, strong hurler who attacks with an overpowering fastball and a nasty slider. He is especially good at keeping the ball in the park (one HR allowed in 59 innings last year) and has a clear line to the closer position. He seems poised for an outstanding season with an up-and-coming team. Chief Competition: Leo Nunez
20. Chad Qualls, Arizona Diamondbacks: A career set-up guy, Qualls responded when incumbent closer Brandon Lyon stopped throwing strikes. During the heat of the September pennant chase, Qualls reeled off an impressive seven straight saves, cementing his place as the D-Backs closer. Chief Competition: Jon Rauch
19. Brian Wilson, San Francisco Giants: The fact that Wilson accumulated 41 saves last season further dispels the myth that closers on bad teams can't be successful. However, Wilson was not giving off any good vibrations with his 4.62 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. The Giants should provide Wilson with enough save opportunities to keep him busy in 2009. Chief Competition: Bobby Howry
18. Mike Gonzalez, Atlanta Braves: Gonzalez is another closer finding his way back following Tommy John surgery. If 2008 was any indication, his prognosis is excellent. He netted 14 saves and extended his streak of games without a blown save to 183 before it was ended last September. Ponder that Gonzalez is fragile and has never thrown more than 55 innings in a season during his major league career. Chief Competition: Rafael Soriano
17. Francisco Cordero, Cincinnati Reds: Cordero showed some signs of wear in 2008, typified by a walk rate that nearly doubled from the season before. The culprit was believed to be a bone spur in his foot that led to an early end of his season. He is a strikeout pitcher with an inflated WHIP due to the control issues. He should be fine for this season. Chief Competition: David Weathers
16. Heath Bell, San Diego Padres: Bell steps out of the giant shadow of Trevor Hoffman to assume closer duties in 2009. He benefits from playing half his games in a preeminent pitchers' park and brings a solid arsenal of pitches including a mid-90's fastball. Troubling were an ERA that went from 2.02 in 2007 to 3.58 last season and a strikeout rate of less than one per inning. Chief Competition: Cla Meredith
What do you think of Robert's list? Let your comments be heard below and stay tuned for the top 15 closers Sunday.

[1959] Electron Microscopic Finding in Skin Biopsies from Patients with Danon Disease
J Alroy, R Pfannl, D Slavov, MRG Taylor. Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA; Tufts Cumming's School of Veterinary Medicine, Grafton, MA; Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA; University of Colorado, Aurora, CO
Background: Danon Disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease. It is due to primary deficiency of lysosomal-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2). LAMP-2 is an important regulator of maturation of both autophagosomes and phagosomes. Deficiency of LAMP-2 results in accumulation of autophagosomes in multiple tissues and a phenotype triad of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myopathy, and mental retardation. A milder phenotype occurs in females. Clinical manifestation typically develops in boys in the first two decades of life. Skin biopsy is a useful cost effective tool for the diagnosis of other lysosomal storage diseases, but its role in Danon disease has not been studied.
Design: In this study we obtained skin biopsies from the forearms of a 24-years- old man and a 43-years-old woman and her 9-year-old son from two unrelated families. The diagnosis of Danon diseases was confirmed by DNA analysis and absent LAMP-2 protein in skin fibroblasts from both males. The 2-mm2 biopsies were fixed in Trump's fixative and postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide in sodium cacodylate buffer, stained with 5% uranyl acetate, dehydrated and embedded in resin (Epon-812). Thick sections (1um) were stained with toluidine blue. Thin sections were cut at 50-70nm, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and photographed with a transmission electron microscope.
Results: Few large membrane bound electron lucent vacuoles, i.e., lysosomes were noted in myelinated axons and in some smooth muscle and fewer in perineural cells. Some fibroblasts contain both electron lucent lysosomes as well as lysosomes that contain electron dense material. Rare storage of lamellated membrane structures was noted in unmyelinated axons.
Conclusions: These unique morphological findings demonstrate the usefulness of skin biopsies in the diagnosis of Danon disease. They are distinct from those seen in patients with muscopolysaccharidosis, with glycolipids and oligosacchardide storage diseases, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, as well as various myopathies.

Hi All,
More games played tonight and two more rules disagreements arose...
Both more or less about the same thing - how many damage MUST be applied to a unit in combat.
Question 1:
Sword Masters of Hoeth.
For example - A single Sword masters card defending the battlefield has 3 wounds and the text "Cancel all combat damage assigned to this unit".
Being attacked for 5 Damage.
Now, my reading of the rules suggest that I need only assign 3 damage to this unit to equal the number of hit points on the card allowing the final 2 points of damage through to the capital, the damage is then applied where the card text kicks in, cancelling the 3 damage.
Others are reading the rules as - 3 Damage does not kill the card due to the text, therefore ALL damage must be assigned to the unit, where it is then cancelled when applied. (making the battlefield zone untouchable unless you remove the swordmasters by other means)
Question 2:
Very similar - change the Sword masters for a generic unit with 3 wounds but Toughness 1.
I read the rules to work in the same way - I need only assign 3 damage to the unit (well aware I may increase this) then assign 2 damage to the capital. with the toughness rule kicking in when the damage is actually applied leaving the unit alive with 1 wound. (theres even an example of this in the rulebook!)
Others say that because the card has toughness 1, that you must assign 4 damage to the card, because that is how much you need to assign to actually kill it.
PS - in both examples we are fully aware that we MAY add more damage if required, we're disagreeing on how much damage MUST be assigned.
(its basicly the sword masters stopping ALL damage to the capital that seems wrong.)
Many thanks in advance

My JustGiving page has been set up since my last blog and the generosity and alacrity of people's sponsorship has been quite overwhelming. In just the first week, your donations raised £1,000, and the total figure is now up to £2,000. I cannot thank you all enough for your kindness. It is of course especially gratefully received when the sterling work of Street Child means that this money has such an impact on people's lives. When the construction of a basic school costs £1,000, a month's provision of essential medical care for 250 children costs £500, and £40 sends a child to school for a whole year, your sponsorship really is going to a fantastic cause in a country where the need is very great indeed.
Your generosity has also been a great help to me when training. I'm not sure if this is normal but I often get quite emotional on runs after about 10 miles - perhaps this is my Italian blood coming to the surface, but I like to think of it as a passionate Lawrence Dallaglio moment (...I'm going to get ridiculed for writing that!) Anyway, your sponsorship is very motivating and it means a lot to me, so thank you.
Above is a video clip which I emailed around touting for further sponsorship in exchange for my very deep embarrassment. In the clip I don't think that I mention 'charity' once - but I promise that I did in the interview as a whole but those bits didn't make the cut!
Charity is obviously on my mind more than usual as I'm training for the marathon, but also because I am seeing the need for it more frequently as I run around London's parks and streets. I am ashamed to say that recently I passed a man sitting at a garden table in a park face down in his own vomit. As I approached he lifted his head slightly to moan, and so, knowing he was alive, thinking someone else might help, and not wanting to break my running stride, I carried on past him and didn't do a thing. Which just isn't good enough.
I think that a lot of Londoners are very unsure about what to do when a beggar asks them for money on the street. There's immediately the argument that they might be addicted to drugs or drink and so it would be better not to fund their habit and run the risk of doing more harm than good. Others might argue that it's up to them what they spend the money on and it's better not to penalise those who will genuinely spend the money on food and shelter.
A very good friend of mine who is an extremely good person buys a sandwich for homeless people who ask him for help and takes them for a coffee. My brother is part of a charity committee of friends from uni who raise a lot of money for charity by putting on fantastic parties, and they also volunteer at The Passage soup kitchen in Victoria which does very good work.
Through Kiln's participation I have more direct experience of the Whitechapel shelter which is run by a tireless and endlessly jolly couple. What really impresses me about them is their practical approach to the problems of the homeless - as well as offering breakfast, showers and fresh clothes, they offer assistance with finding accommodation, obtaining birth certificates, referrals to drug/alcohol programmes, providing an address for post, IT skills, legal issues, writing CVs and applying for jobs.
It is extremely sad to see a number of homeless people at the shelter from Eastern European countries who, by the way they divide their food and the few practical possessions on their person, have a real demeanour of resourcefulness, education and nobility. It must be truly awful to emigrate as a skilled worker with hopes of making more money to send back to your family, just at the wrong time economically, which leaves you stranded. Whitechapel has a volunteer programme to enable getting involved and helping these people, and to support a very practical charity.
Street Child's operations are similarly impressive for their practical nature. And the challenges they face are of course in one of the most deprived countries in the world rather than one of the most developed. It must be hard to know where to begin helping a child who has lost his/her family during the civil war, has been driven onto the street to survive, perhaps into prostitution, has no prospects or education, receives regular beatings and lives in fear, and has to resort to petty crime to get by.
Street Child's response of providing counselling and medical care, reuniting children with their families and getting them back into education is supplemented by its work on sustainability, which involves establishing commercial ventures such as bars and restaurants to provide employment, and by contracting local carpenters for the building of schools to boost the local economy. For me, this approach goes beyond just providing aid; it aims to create more enduring and empowering solutions.
Races and Bristol
If anybody's still reading, I'll update you quickly on my running! I've entered a couple of races which I was told would be good practice, and they've proved useful and good fun. The first race was 10km around Bushy Park, which is right next to my parents' house and a route I've run hundreds of times before. It was pretty exciting to race amongst 500 people on home turf, amazing to have my family supporting me, and very useful to learn to swallow my pride when a feather-light whippet / wraith glides past me effortlessly and not to try immediately to catch them / cover tackle them, but to run at my own pace. Extremely chuffed that I came 13th and ran it in 41 minutes.
The next race was the Hastings half marathon on a gloriously sunny day along the sea and through the very pretty Old Town. There were 5,000 runners, something I hadn't experienced before, and the support of the crowd was incredible with live bands, marching bag pipers and lots of families (again including my own) en route. It was a tremendous event but no-one told me before signing up that the first 5 miles were uphill and seriously tough. Bloody knackered but pleased with my run: 321st in 1 hour 36 minutes.
My confidence from these 2 races has been dented somewhat since however: as my longer distance runs are now lasting more than 2 hours, I'm suffering from boredom, exhaustion, slower times (now not sure I'll be able to achieve my aim of sub-4 hours), and hunger. Indeed, the money I'm saving on boozing less I'm now spending on obscene amounts of food. And stash. I'm sure I don't need all my new kit but my iPhone app has been playing up unfortunately and so I've bought a new Garmin watch which tells me my speed and distance via satellites, as well as my heart rate. It's absolutely amazing.
To stave off boredom, I've started going for runs further afield for a change of scene. Today I started in Cliftonwood Crescent in Bristol, ran around a lot of old university haunts (God, it's a fantastic place), very nostalgic, past the York Cafe which is now a snazzy-looking Italian restaurant, and then to Bath. 18 miles in total, along the old railway line with disused platforms occasionally either side, lots of very green bits, a great trip. I then ate a large quarter pounder meal, an extra milkshake, 9 nuggets, a sugar donut, and 1kg of Galaxy chocolate.
My next blog will be from on holiday in Zambia - the start of my training on the continent!

How can you not love the 9600GT? It's everywhere. It seems that every company is making at least five different versions of the card; stock clocked, overclocked, 512MB, 1GB, active cooling, passive cooling, dual slot, single slot, HDMI, Display Port, DVI and so much more.
It is the card that caters to everyone. GIGABYTE is here today with the heat-pipe version that carries with it 512MB of memory. Silent cards are extremely important to some people, but it was generally limited to low-end models in the past.
Before we look at the cooler that GIGABYTE has chosen to use today, we will have a look at the bundle and see if there's anything interesting in this department.

The Need for a Food Allergies Field in Electronic Health Records
Jan Greer-Carney, MS, MBA, RD, LD
This week I saw a disoriented patient, let's call him Jack, who told me he was "allergic to lactose." He usually followed a vegan diet. Jack was a notably poor historian, but was able to tell me that lactose "caused his throat to close." I probed him about whether he was allergic to milk. He insisted he was only allergic to lactose.
Jack was a patient a few months earlier, so I had the benefit of his past medical record. I found that his admitting provider had placed him on a "regular vegan diet" and recorded "no known allergies." Jack was eating poorly prior to admission and had lost more than 10% of his usual weight since his last admission. He continued to have poor intake in the hospital. I needed to find a lactose-free supplement for Jack. I decided on our fruit-flavored liquid supplement, which I confirmed was lactose free.
Jack had taken only a few sips of the supplement when he began to experience his "throat closing." He immediately was treated for his allergic reaction. The product contained a whey isolate. Jack, in fact, had a milk protein allergy.
I decided to see if I could find any evidence of a milk allergy documented in Jack's medical records. Sure enough, in Jack's record from his primary care provider's office, milk was listed as an allergy, with his symptoms identified. Unfortunately, food allergies are not set up to follow the patient. If this information was a required field in the electronic health record (EHR), it would have followed Jack to the hospital!
I went back to see Jack to tell him to always make sure he listed milk as an allergy with a serious reaction when he is seeking medical attention. Jack then told me he thought milk and lactose were the same thing. He had heard a lot about lactose intolerance on the television. He said he does not drink milk because he is a vegan, so he does not encounter it in his daily life.
Jack is not unlike many of our patients. He unintentionally provided inaccurate and incomplete information. However, if food allergies were a part of his EHR, Jack's allergy and reaction would have followed Jack with a prominent display in his EHR. This would have prevented this reaction. A required field for food allergies will help patients like Jack avoid unnecessary food allergy reactions!

With multiple impellers on a single shaft, are the effects on total power additive? For example, if two impellers are of the same type, would the power be determined as P = Np*rho*N^3*(D1^5+D2^5)? Also, what is a "rule of thumb" for empirically calculated power requirements vs. actual power input that a VFD might show?
Have an insight or suggestion?

Re: Are power requirements for multiple impellers additive?
29 June 2009 at 1:29pmIn most cases, the power requirements for multiple impellers are additive, unless they are located less than half an impeller diameter apart, in which case, the power requirements are less than additive. Your formula for multiple impellers is correct as long as the impellers are geometrically similar (same type, same width-to-diameter ratio, etc.), so that the power numbers are equal. The best calculation is done by considering each impeller separately and then adding the results together.
The "rule of thumb" for calculated and measured power is that the results are only as good as the individual values. Calculated power must be based on accurate fluid density (within 1%), viscosity (within 10%) effects if any, power numbers (within 5%), impeller diameters (within 1%), and rotational speeds (within 1%), for the results to be within about 10%. Measured power with a VFD depends on the electronics. Power measurement must be based on electronic power (including motor efficiency), not just amperage, and definitely not clamp-on amperage readings. Good calculations and a good VFD should give equal results within 10% to 15%. No inherent reason for the results to be different, other than inaccuracies.
If your differences are large, look for errors.
