bring it! bid for victory on the aravis or the saisies followed with a crazy descent of the madeleine! the last 23 km's from the bottom
of the descent is a long way to hold off those looking to bridge up though.
Yes 13km from he bottom (I live in St Jean de Maurienne), as flat as a pancake, wind at the back as usual in the afternoon ... And the descend is beautifull, steep and very very fast (Large & good quality road with few bends) ... The rider who will be on top 30seconds before the others will win the stage
duh! it's my new math! yeah 13 km is still going to be an eternity for
those in the lead. could be a stage for vinoukourov forcing the other contenders
to expend extra energy while protecting contador...
What does the red HC mean?
yeah come to think of it, no other grand tour uses the HC...
Vino is a possibility...Basso looked good, not suffering too much.
You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. That's great...if you want to attract vermin.
God...did Vino design this stage? Can he resist the temptation to fly away from Contador in an attempt to claim glory for himself again? If he's not dropped on the way up, I don't see how he can resist. He coasted away from the pack on the descent of the Ramaz today...what if he rides the descent of the Madeleine?
Anyone think Armstrong will try to pull a Floyd-at-Morzine on Tuesday - with or without steroids?

Basso looks good but isn't the descender that this stage is gonna need.
I'm thinking Cadel will take all sorts of chances here.
I think the Vuelta uses something similar to HC but for the life of me can't recall it.

Exactly what I was thinking. He needed Nibali to lead him down the mountains at the Giro this year. Maybe he's a pick for the Tourmalet.
I like the idea of Sanchez, Evans, or (this is the Garmin fanboy in me coming out) Hesjedal. I know Hesjedal will probably crack, but if he made the summit with a group I'd like his chances on the descent!
Edit: I also like Vino, because it would force the other contenders to chase, and take some pressure off of Contador. That would be fun to watch!
Very very tough day today. In any normal year I'd expect the big guys to ride conservatively and wait for the Pyrenees. But this year there have been so many attacks, and Schleck has so big an interest in putting time into Contador while he seems to have the advantage, that anything could happen. Likely to be very entertaining, with a few of the top ten suffering serious damage.
There have been many days when I haven't felt like riding, but there has never been a day when I was sorry I rode.
some nice names in the break today. go Jens.
I don't think it will be a top guy that wins unless there is an attack from the bottom of the climb. It is a big decsent that a desperate rider can make up time on. Cadel and Vino I believe both drop like a stone and I think Cadel wants time, but Schleck and Contador both don't need or want to take huge risks to descend. I expect Hesjedal to go down as fast as he can to catch back onto the pack if he is anywhere close to the front. Probably cannot pass the group unless there is not a big fight on that climb.
Vino is awesome.
Petoji.net ............................. centuryperweek.blogspot.com
I don't understand why Vino is attacking. Does Astana want Contador to bridge near the top of the climb? Or is Vino simply defecting?

Kenyan Foreign Minister says some Americans were involved in mall attack
POSTED: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - 7:00am
UPDATED: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - 7:10am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — U.S. officials are looking hard into allegations that Americans were among the attackers at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi.
There is no confirmation that Americans were involved in the attack, but U.S. officials say the group has successfully recruited Americans in the past.
At least 62 people have been killed since gunmen stormed the crowded mall Saturday.
Kenyan authorities say they've got the upper hand, but there was gunfire overnight.
As of this morning, Kenya reports that several attackers have been killed, and more arrested for questioning.
Kenya's Foreign Minister says some of those involved were Americans.
"The Americans, from the information we have, are young men, about between maybe 18 and 19," said Kenyan Foreign Minister, Amina Mohamed.
But U.S. authorities say they won't know for sure until all the attackers are identified.
Names provided so far were not on any terror watch lists.
"It could be very likely that there were Americans involved in this attack because there is a significant number of them that have gone over there to be trained," said Rep. Peter King, New York.
About 20 are now believed to fighting in Somalia with the terrorist group al Shabaab which claims to be behind the mall attack.
The group's been recruiting hard in Minnesota. Muslims there condemn the violence.
"We call on Muslim youth to shun and reject or to be lured into or recruited by extremist groups like al Shabaab," said Minnesota Muslim Leader Abdisalam Adam.
"This is a global challenge for the U.S.," said the Former Ambassador to Morocco Marc Ginsberg.
President Obama is promising to help in the investigation of what happened and who was behind it.
Authorities tell us al Shabaab has made vague references to attacks in the U.S., but officials here think that's mostly propaganda.

Hey guys, I am completely new to homebrewing, but excited to get started. I am looking at purchasing the basic starter kit from Northern Brewer.com I am going to start with plastic and opt out of buying a second fermenter. What are everyone's thoughts on this? I appreciate it! Also, I am not opposed to spending money on a brew kettle. The 8 gal MegaPot with ball valve and thermometer looks like a good investment for ~$200 with the 2 upgrades. Thanks again, Zach
That kit looks pretty good. I currently have just a 8 gal aluminum pot from a restaurant supplier (forget which one) that was a good price. The better investment to start with would be an immersion chiller. You can always put any thermometer in the boil, and a 5 gal batch is small enough that you can just pour or use the auto siphon in the kit.
Ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
I opted for the deluxe kit, and I'm delighted with it. It had everything that I needed to start and did the first 2 brews that way. I have since done 3 more and have added many more items. The best investment IMO was getting equipment to make yeast starters. You will very soon want another fermenting vessel!!!!
I will probably buy a turkey fryer too. I hear that makes the process a hulluva lot easier

Writer's Guidelines
Please note: The World Future Society is not currently accepting submissions for THE FUTURIST. Please check back in early spring for further information.
THE FUTURIST is constantly looking for articles to publish, both by established authorities and new authors. Articles must pass the following tests:
1. SUBJECT MATTER: The article should have something new and significant to say about the future, not merely repeat what has already been said before. For example, an article noting that increasing air pollution may damage human health is something everyone has already heard. Writers for THE FUTURIST should remember that the publication focuses on the future, especially the period five to 50 years ahead.
THE FUTURIST does not publish fiction or poetry. An exception is occasionally made for scenarios presenting fictionalized people in future situations. These scenarios are kept brief.
THE FUTURIST covers a wide range of subject areas--virtually everything that will affect our future or will be affected by the changes the future will bring. Past articles have focused on topics ranging from technology, planning, resources, and economics, to religion, the arts, values, and health. Articles we avoid include: (A) overly technical articles that would be of little interest to the general reader; (B) opinion pieces on current government issues; (C) articles by authors with only a casual knowledge of the subject being discussed.
2. AUTHOR'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT: Authors should provide some biographical material, which should indicate their qualifications to write about a particular subject.
3. QUALITY OF WRITING: Make points clearly and in a way that holds the reader's interest. A reader should not have to struggle to guess an author's meaning or wade through lots of unnecessary words in the process. Use concrete examples and anecdotes to illustrate the points made; nothing is duller than a page of generalities unrelieved by specific examples. Keep sentences short, mostly under 25 words. Avoid the jargon of a particular trade or profession; when technical terms are necessary, be sure to explain them.
THE FUTURIST's copyeditors use the University of Chicago Press's A Manual of Style and Merriam Webster's unabridged dictionary as guidelines on spelling and style.
Authors can get a feel for THE FUTURIST's style by reviewing recent issues, available in many large libraries, bookstores, and newsstands. Sample copies may be purchased from the Society.
SUBMISSIONS: The editors prefer to read completed manuscripts but will consider queries that include a strong thesis, detailed outline, and summary of the author's expertise on the proposed topic.
Manuscripts should be e-mailed as attached Word or Rich Text documents (PDFs are strongly discouraged). Please include "Article Submission" or "Query" in the subject line and include a brief "about the author" note with your submission. Do NOT submit manuscripts by fax. Simultaneous queries or submissions are acceptable; please make note of this in your cover letter.
LENGTH OF ARTICLES: Articles in THE FUTURIST generally run 1,000 to 4,000 words, but both longer and shorter articles are acceptable.
Opinion pieces about the future may be submitted to "Future View," THE FUTURIST's guest editorial column; these normally should be no longer than 800 words.
PHOTOGRAPHS AND DRAWINGS: THE FUTURIST is very interested in photographs, drawings, or other materials that might be used to illustrate articles. High-resolution digital images are preferred; color slides or glossy prints (either color or black and white) are acceptable. Any images submitted MUST either be in the public domain or accompanied by the copyright owner's permission for publication. THE FUTURIST is NOT responsible for damage to materials during the mailing process. All such materials must be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope or mailing tube with sufficient postage to be returned.
RESPONSE TIME: The editors will make every attempt to respond to all queries and manuscript submissions as soon as possible, but please allow at least three weeks for queries and three months for manuscripts.
In certain cases, the editors of THE FUTURIST may show manuscripts to the editors of other World Future Society publications, including WORLD FUTURE REVIEW, the annual conference volume, and the Futurist Blog on the Society's Web site. This may further delay response, but will increase the author's opportunities for publication. (NOTE: WORLD FUTURE REVIEW editorial guidelines are posted here.)
WITHDRAWAL OF MANUSCRIPT FROM PLANNED PUBLICATION: Authors may withdraw a manuscript from the publication process provided written notice is given at least seven weeks before the date of publication. At the same time, the editors reserve the right to withdraw from publication any previously accepted material.
COMPENSATION: Authors of articles are provided either (A) 10 free copies of the issue in which their work appears (and the right to purchase additional copies at the lowest multiple rate), or (B) one year's complimentary membership in the World Future Society. In addition, authors will be sent a PDF of their published article for their personal use. THE FUTURIST does not offer financial compensation for articles printed in THE FUTURIST or for reprints of these articles, whether in print or digital format.
RIGHTS: It is a condition of publication that copyright is transferred to the World Future Society (WFS).
WFS will handle all reprint requests with the primary goal being wide dissemination of the ideas. Most of these requests are small and generate little or no revenue (e.g., a professor wanting to make 30 copies for a class). Any royalties received are used to manage reprint requests and advance the goals of the World Future Society. Authors would be consulted about any major reprint opportunity. And, of course, authors may handle directly any requests they receive for consulting, speaking, and other projects.
Authors may distribute copies of the article as published (photocopies, PDFs, or similar) without limitation, but they may not license others to do. Upon request, WFS will provide a PDF copy of the final article without charge as soon as practical after publication.

Best Art Ever (This Week)
Andy Khouri's weekly compilation of the best comics, games, film and TV covers, pinups, maships, fan art and other illustrations discovered in the past week.
You know, just once it might be nice for humanity to awaken an ancient and forgotten threat to the planet that has mellowed out in the years that it's been sealed away, and doesn't want to destroy the planet when it emerges from its eternal slumber. I mean, yes, that would probably not give us a very entertaining story, what with the lack of conflict, but who wouldn't want to see elder unknowable horror from the stars maybe getting a cupcake or catching up on Netflix instead of immediately trying to destroy us for the hubris of our species?
Alas, that is not the case for the characters in Jerry Frissen and Peter Snejbjerg's World War X, in which a set of ancient artifacts unleash monsters poised to annihilate the entire human race in a war that we are clearly not ready for. The Netflix queue, it seems, will remain unwatched.
Now that production on CBS' Supergirl series has formally gotten up, up and underaway, our first look at Glee star Melissa Benoist as our new Kara Zor-El has floated safely to Earth. See Supergirl go Man of Steel dark with our first photos of the new CBS series' costume!
At this point, I'm not sure how Gotham Academy could get better. I mean, it's already exactly what I have always wanted in my life but never knew I could get, a teen drama with mysteries and secret passages, where Batman occasionally shows up and obscure villains from the TV show are running the library. That's a level of perfection that I could've only dreamt of a year ago.
But if I had to make a suggestion for how it might be better, I'd probably suggest getting Babs Tarr, the ComicsAlliance-favorite artist of Batgirl, to do a cover, or maybe getting Adventure Time designer Joy Ang to take a crack at the characters, or maybe have everyone spend an issue talking about how terrifying the Joker is. These are all things that are happening. We are living in a magical time.
One of the most beloved Adventure Time characters, Marceline, is in the midst of a miniseries from KaBoom titled Marceline Gone Adrift, by Meredith Gran and Carey Pietsch, and ComicsAlliance has the exclusive preview for issue #3. In the story so far, everyone's favorite rocker demon/vampire went on a rampage throughout Ooo, so Princess Bubblegum stripped her of her powers and sent her drifting off into space. This is probably not so great for their relationship, but Princess Bubblegum does feel really, really bad about it.
Not to be outdone by DC's Multiversity map --- first spotted at last year's San Diego Comic-Con and since made available through retailers --- Marvel is releasing its own physical, foldable, pin-up-on-your-wall-able map of its multiverse. Of course, this multiverse is squished together into one bite-sized nugget (if you're Galactus) for Secret Wars.
The Battleboard doesn't actually tell us anything we don't already know; it's the same map we've seen before, and the covers for all the books Marvel has already announced, including the newly announced Guardians of Knowhere, a Guardians of the Galaxy continuation from Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato. But the Battleboard does tell us what we don't already know --- known unknowns, if you will --- with nine cover slots marked as 'Classified'. So there are definitely nine more Secret Wars books to be announced, and maybe only nine more?
We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, as well as the special qualities of comic book storytelling, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great pinups, fan art and other illustrations on sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we've created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it's new, some of it's old, some of it's created by working professionals, some of it's created by future stars, some of it's created by talented fans, and some of it's endearingly silly. All of it is awesome.
Welcome back to All For the Wookiee, where we take a look at the recent Star Wars universe offerings from Marvel and pick the most Star Wars-ish moments to share with you, dear reader. Today we're joined by royalty for the first issue of the Princess Leia miniseries from Mark Waid and Terry & Rachel Dodson, with colors by Jordie Bellaire.
As usual, spoilers follow. You have been warned.
Q: What are the arguments against a shared universe? Like, would Hawkman be tolerable if he wasn't standing next to Superman? -- @Dan_Toland
A: I gotta say, I am probably the last person on the face of the planet that you should be coming to with this question. Not only do I love the concept of a shared universe in general, but I love it specifically in how it's evolved to become a defining feature of superhero comics, to the point where it's actually as much a part of what I think of when I hear the word "superhero" as powers and costumes.
On the other hand, I am also a dude who has never passed up an opportunity to make fun of Hawkman, so allow me to answer that part of your question first: No. Nothing will ever make Hawkman tolerable. Hawkman is the worst.
Jimmy Fallon --- late night talk show host and guy who definitely hogs the microphone at karaoke and probably jumps up to "duet" with people who weren't actually looking to sing a duet right now, thanks, Jimmy --- likes to play party games and parlor games on his Tonight Show show. On last night's Tonight Show show he played a game of musical chairs with three important additions; beer, Thor, and Wolverine. And no chairs.
Even though it was announced months ago, I'm still having a hard time believing that we live in a magical world where Alex de Campi and Fernando Ruiz's Archie Vs Predator is a real thing that is happening. Even in a time when the company's most critically successful book is a moody supernatural horror story where the entire cast is about two seconds away from being murdered by zombies, Archie Vs Predator still seems like a beautiful, beautiful dream.
That's why, in order to confirm that this is in fact happening, I spoke to Ruiz about what it's like to send the Predator to Riverdale, and how it compares to drawing Betty riding a dragon.

Underwhelming but sturdy H from Arizona I bought this item because I was specifically drawn to the stunning "raw edge" on the item in the photo. The "raw edge" on the item I received could hardly be called "raw". The edges in this photo show a darker, bark-like jagged edge, while mine was the same color as the rest of the board, sanded down, and barely curved. It did not look like the raw edge of a tree. I do understand that with an something like this, no two items will look the same. Additionally, the dark appearance comes from a varnish and not necessarily the wood itself, so your first cuts on the board will leave permanent marks revealing the lighter wood underneath.. However, any wooden board will eventually show knife marks after some wear, and there are ways to treat the wood to keep up appearances. The gripper feed are nice on this board, and the wood is thick, so it will provide you a safe and hardy surface to cut on, with little chance of the shape warping over time. |
Bought another! Sara from Fairless Hills, PA– Verified Buyer I loved this so much that I bought another as a house-warming gift for my brother and sister-in-law. Exactly the right quality for the price, and definitely a piece that will earn you compliments! |

Product Reviews for Moen Brushed nickel curved shower rod DN2141BN

Doesn't match Moen Accessories (About the Moen DN2141BN)
Review by NCGran on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I purchased this shower rod to go with the all of the Moen products we used when we remodeled our bathroom. It is not Brushed nickel it is brushed stainless and does not match any of the other moen products in our bathroom. Moen's brushed nickel has a yellowish cast to it but this rod is true stainless and they do not look goood together. the Moen shower curtain hooks are the true moen color and look very mismatched on the rod. I called Moen and they said they bought the company a lyear and a half ago that makes the rods but never did anything to make sure they were a matched color. Shame on you Moen. Your name used to represent high quality and now you are just another company taking short cuts!

Nothing wrong with the room, smelled good and tidy. Had everything you can expect for a low price; shower, bed, tv, Internet, soap shampoo etc. Reception was fine too, English proficiency is minimal but enough for check in, payment and some basic questions. If you just need a cheap place to stay over in Brussels this place is absolutely ok.

I'm writing an impact analysis tool that will parse a bunch of selected file types and find the class and method calls inside the file (in this case a .cs file). I have managed to write a regular expression that will find if a line of code is a method call.
Regex re = new Regex(
@"\b(public|private|internal|protected)\s*" +
"(static|virtual|abstract)?\s*[a-zA-Z]*\s[a-zA-Z]+\s*" +
However; I can't figure out how to get the Method name out of the regular expression. It recognises a line as a Match but how do i pull out the actual method name. Any help on this would be amazing.
Furthermore; I'm not sure if this is how it's actually done but is there any other (up to date) c# file parsers that will be able to provide me a list of method names and class names from the file?

"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
— George Orwell
We live in an age — the relativity of truth — in which Orwell's adage seems as dated as monocles or top hats. Just as Darwin's theory of evolution led to Social Darwinism, a philosophy pitting one human being against another with survival of the fittest as the supreme law for success, so Einstein's theory of relativity changed popular philosophy and cultural mores as radically as it did the study of physics.
I was a weird kid growing up.
And, in many ways, I'm even weirder as an adult. Since day one, being weird is something I embrace. I'm proud of it, even though I don't give it much thought, because I think being weird is normal, and being normal is, well, boring.

Jim Thiel must be a magician. At least that's what I thought when I first heard his newest speaker, the SCS4. I was listening to an a cappella band, and the guys were all there—not just the voices, but I felt like the Persuasions were in the room with me. The sound was so utterly natural; it was as if the speakers weren't doing anything.
Just when I thought speaker designers could focus 100 percent of their talents on creating the best-sounding speakers, flat-screen TVs came along and created a burgeoning market for ultrasvelte plasma-friendly speakers. Anything other than the most demure designs now elicit comments like, "They're too big," "I think they're ugly," or the perennial, "Not in my living room!" from reticent shoppers. This just goes to show that, for some customers, style and size are the dominant factors when picking out a set of speakers. Maybe I'm overstating the case, but it's starting to look like colossal towers and even fairly small monitor speakers' days are numbered. Skinny on-walls are what's happening now.
AT A GLANCE Plus Wowie-zowie style Nearly indestructible High-impact sound Minus Over-40 crowd might feel awkward wearing something as hip as the XS
THE VERDICT With the XS, V-Moda somehow made a bassy headphone even an audiophile could love.
Val Kolton started V-Moda ten years ago, but I didn't meet the man until 2011. I thought he was their sales guy; he definitely didn't look like an owner of an audio company, at least not like any I've met before. He's a young, skinny, rock-star type, decked out in black leather and long, jet-black hair. Get him started, and Kolton will talk a mile a minute about music and headphones, but then again, so do I.
Flat-screen-friendly speakers, iPod-inspired microspeakers, and adorable HTIBs are selling like crazy, but Vandersteen Audio is immune to such flights of fancy. Their speakers are all plus-size beauties—the company's new VCC-5 Reference center channel measures a healthy 24 inches wide, 9.75 high, and 18 deep. So, sure, it would be a hell of a lot easier to sell a slimmer design, but the company's head honcho, Richard Vandersteen, doesn't play that game. He designs speakers for buyers who care more about sound than fashion. His stuck-in-the-1980s styling isn't a calculated stab at retro—the handsome 1C tower speaker was originally introduced in 1981 as the Model 1, and the "C" iteration debuted in 1996. You see, change for the sake of change isn't an option at Vandersteen Audio, and that extends to bucking the industry stampede to move production offshore. They still build every speaker in Hanford, California, and they test and measure every speaker in their own anechoic chamber. That's commitment.
AT A GLANCE Plus Three-channel soundbar Impressive soundstage width Excellent price/performance ratio Minus May block your TV's remote sensor No supplied subwoofer
THE VERDICT Vizio's affordable S5430w-C2 sounds great with movies and music, and adding your own sub cranks it up a notch.
The sonics of soundbars have improved steadily over the years. It wasn't that long ago that even the priciest flagship models were marginal performers, but Vizio's affordably priced S5430w-C2 can provide a surprisingly satisfying home theater experience. That says a lot about Vizio's commitment to push the limits of the category without straying too far from the entry-level price point. The all-plastic construction may be the most obvious price concession here, but since you'll rarely touch the soundbar in use, I'd consider that a cost-effective design choice. Its understated appearance is easy on the eyes.
I remember when Ferraris and Maseratis topped out around 400 ponies, but, nowadays, that much oomph is available in Ford Mustangs. Blisteringly fast rides have never been cheaper, and, over in the consumer electronics world, the speed with which technology migrates from bleeding-edge surround processors to $500 A/V receivers demonstrates the benefits of trickle-down engineering. But the quality gap between high-end and affordable speakers hasn't appreciably narrowed, until now. Wharfedale's real-world-priced Pacific Evolution Series speakers are engineered like far more expensive speakers.

This place feels very Bernie Madoff to me, said my wife, as we scanned the intimate little room at Caravaggio, which opened among the lonely art galleries and half-empty boutiques just off Madison Avenue in the Seventies. There were plumes of bread sticks at the linen-topped tables and little bread baskets made of woven silver. The loquacious maître d' looked as if he'd suddenly appeared from a semi-grand restaurant in Milan (Yes, it's true, I've been married five times), as did the portly gourmand next to us, who was carrying a gold-tipped cane and wearing a handkerchief stuffed in his breast pocket. The graying, still-moneyed crowd sniffed white truffles shaved over plates of buttered fettuccine ($130, or $65 for an appetizer portion) and poured their big Tuscan wines from glass decanters. They wore spangled blouses and stiff corporate suits, and everyone in the brightly lit room seemed to know one another, including a gentleman in the corner who looked suspiciously like the governor of New Jersey.
This dose of extreme pre-bust nostalgia comes courtesy of the Bruno brothers, whose midtown restaurant, San Pietro, has served as a kind of unofficial lunchtime clubhouse for many of the city's financial kingpins since it opened in 1991. Caravaggio, which occupies the old Coco Pazzo space on East 74th Street, seems to have been designed as a kind of intimate uptown refuge for the brothers' traditional plutocrat clientele. Certainly the prices hover at the traditional plutocrat level. My simple-sounding antipasto di mare was not simple at all (shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat folded in an opulent sea-urchin sauce) and cost $25. The classic vitello tonnato (artfully thin veal, with a frothy tuna sauce) cost just a few dollars less ($22). The cheapest appetizer options on the elaborate menu are a pleasantly garlicky assemblage of snails from Sicily (set over a root-vegetable risotto and sprinkled with garlic chips), and a scraggly-looking salad tossed with cherry tomatoesboth are eighteen bucks.
But if, by some miracle, you're not feeling a little pinched (or if you're in the company of a generous, aged Upper East Side aunt), it must be said that this kind of intimate, old-world glitter still has its allure. The wine list at Caravaggio is as thick as a phone book, the pastas are stiffened with extravagant amounts of butter and cream, and the Italian (or maybe Albanian) waiters recite the endless list of daily specials with solemn ceremony, like actors on a stage. Nice but heavy was my neighbor's assessment of her chicken-liver risotto ($25), which was followed to the table by bows of farfalle dressed with a heart-stopping Parmesan cream ($26), and a tangle of bacon-laced fettuccine all'Amatriciana ($22) rich enough to feed a family of four. That sturdy peasant delicacy bollito misto (assorted cow and chicken parts in a rich broth) is listed as an appetizer, but if you sample it before the pastas, you may find yourself falling into a dreamy, semi-comatose state before the $40 entrées ever arrive.
Ideal Meal
Fettuccine all'Amatriciana, bollito misto or Pollo Caravaggio, tiramisu.

I have only gone to one electronic event there. Gone there for rock shows primarily (Faith No More x2, GNR, The Cars and a few others), and one pop act (Scissor Sisters). I would actually suspect it would be less exciting for full on DJ nights (the one I went to I had all access for, so it was a bit of a different experience)... And I just don't get why it's such a hated venue... again.. it's not the best venue in town... but I've had far worse experiences at both The Greek and Club Nokia (and my average experience at Club Nokia is far worse than my worst at the Palladium)...
Speaking of Fidlar, I went to the Fidlar/Pangea/Meat Market/Summer Vacation show at VLHS on Saturday. It was nuts!
Local Natives were solid tonight. I'm not wild about the new album, and though the Gorilla Manor songs were definitely the highlights the new songs sounded good live and meshed with the older material rather well. But holy shit, no wonder they save Sun Hands for last. That song was incredible. Best song I've seen live so far this year.

I feel compelled to chime in on the "worst venues" discussion.
The Sunset Strip triumvirate of The Roxy, the Whisky, and The Viper Room are the absolute worst places to see shows in L.A. Completely fucking terrible what ahppened to those places.
The Palladium, as Supre said, WAS a complete and total shithole 10+ years ago. I refused to see shows there after a while. But after the renovation, it's completely tolerable.
As for Gibson, i don't get the hate, other than it being overpriced. The sound is great. it's a very nice place for its size.

I really like the Palladium.
I've been there a few times and I've never had any problems, really.
The only complaint I have was that when I went to see Arctic Monkeys there in 2009 they had all the curtains closed and they weren't telling us which one(s) they would open so everyone was crowded around every curtain entrance. Then when they opened them, they didn't open them at the same time and they opened the one that I was at first so everyone started running toward it and people fell on the stairs, including myself but I managed to get up and get a pretty good spot on the floor.
I haven't been to that many different venues so I can't say which one I really think is the worst or whatever.
Like a lot of people have been saying though, I'm not a huge fan of the Gibson. It IS overpriced and the sound's good yeah but I'm not a huge fan of seated venues.

Fidlar is such a terrible band. So, so bad.
Saw Muse on Saturday at Staples and The Who last night at Honda Center, both great shows. Band of Skulls and Vintage Trouble were great openers though I'd have to give the edge to Vintage Trouble with their infectious live energy. (Keep in mind I was at the barrier for the former and across in the nosebleeds for the latter.)
Got in line for Muse around 3:30, snagged a spot one row behind the barrier to the left. The setup was pretty insane and, minus the 'pyramid', reminded me of The Police's semi-in-the-round setup in '07. My memories of seeing Muse at the Forum in '07 are vague, but looking back at a few video clips that show seemed a little looser and not afraid to show a little more musicality. This was a highly arranged show, which I enjoy, and it was fun being up front, but definitely felt like a stadium show in an arena. Hardly any banter, which may have been the case the time before. Matt Bellamy looked ridiculous with his puffy shirt and cum-gelled hair. He also wore some type of electronic sunglasses during "Madness". The setlist was much better than expected - they played "Map of the Problematique" (my favorite) AND "Hysteria" (which I can't believe they're dropping from the set). Looking at the other nights' setlists I think I lucked out as one less familiar with Showbiz/Origin.
Question: Is it common practice for security to be constantly stepping up on the barrier and shining flashlights in people's faces for significant lengths of time to deter them from filming the show? Because that's what was going on and it was annoying. People aren't going to stop, anyway, if he can't get to them. Why detract from everyone else's enjoyment?
Our seats for The Who were good, for nosebleeds. Opposite end of the arena, head on view. They played all of Quadrophenia which admittedly I wasn't familiar with so I gave it a few spins yesterday. It's really good, probably better than Tommy. So that was nice, they didn't say a word to the audience until the 80-minute performance was done and then they played a smattering of hits starting with "Who Are You" (a personal highlight). They played all the major songs I wanted to hear minus "My Generation" and "Can't Explain", neither of which were really essential for me. All in all much more enjoyable than I expected. Even though there's only two originals left the touring band was pretty remarkable. Zac Starkey (Ringo's son!) pulled off Keith Moon pretty damn well. On bass was Pino Palladino who I first learned about from the John Mayer Trio. And Pete Townshend's son was in the band as well.

Recycling & RecycleMania Week 3 Update!
March 3rd, 2015Rocket Recycling was not able run our Monday routes yesterday due to our truck breaking down. We will do the Monday's route today and get started on Tuesdays!
Back to RecycleMania– We moved down a few spots in Week 3, but we are not worried as this tends to happen towards the middle of the competition due to the way we process recyclables at our facility. Often at the end of the competition once we have all the material accounted for our numbers rise again. So SEED is not discouraged! We believe we will take back our spots in the top 2 of the MAC in most of the categories by the end of the competition! Please continue to recycle to help boost our numbers! If you have an office to clean out, we can drop extra bins to help boost our numbers!
Tournament Week 3 (Feb 16th – Feb 22nd) |
Gorilla Division (overall recycling) MAC Ranking: 5 | Competition Ranking: 83 |
Per Capita Classic (recycling per person) MAC Ranking: 4 | Competition Ranking: 135 |
Paper MAC Ranking: 2 | Competition Ranking: 28 |

McComas Village moved into third this week, moving Parks Tower out. Students– want to see your hall in the lead? Get your recycle on!
No updates next week due to spring break, stay tuned for updates on Tuesday, March 17th!


text: December 07, 2012 Buffalo Bills to wear throwback Nike uniforms this weekend View Gallery Innovative uniform system showcases a modern interpretation of the Bills' 1964-1965 AFL Championship season uniforms. This weekend the Buffalo Bills will wear a unique Nike Football throwback uniform combination modeled after the uniforms that the club wore during their 1964-1965 AFL Championship seasons. The modern interpretation of this historic design was originally showcased during the 50th Anniversary of the AFL back in 2009 and this weekend will be showcased on a Nike NFL Elite 51 chassis. As one of the eight original AFL teams, all elements of the Bills throwback uniform -- jersey, pant, helmet, sock -- differ from the team's regular season look. In addition to a modernization of the stripe pattern, the helmets feature the Red Standing Buffalo logo that the club used as its primary mark from 1962 through 1973. The Bills design aesthetic will stay true to years past while streamlining the color in the neckline with the inclusion of Nike Flywire technology to reduce weight and provide a lockdown fit over the pads. Designed and engineered from the inside out, the new uniform focuses on creating a system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert. Additional uniform innovations include increasing sleeve articulation for better range of motion and integrating new four-way stretch fabrication to provide a streamlined shrink-wrap fit.

FeaturedCommentsHi new DA artists pardon me for any possible stupidity but do you do request because if you do,I was wonder if you make either highschool dxd,amagami ss,photo kano,rosario vampire whole female cast from one of these series(either 1 or 4) tied up and gagged please?I'll check front if I'm wrong,please forgive me for any possible stupidity like I said before.Thank you.
He's probably on vacation tying girls on a hot beach while drinking some piñacoladas, the lucky bastard ¬¬
Funny - you have great talent, and awesome imagination - but based on the replies you give to Comments, you seem to have an ego that is many times larger than you deserve. That's a shame, but maybe you'll grow up eventually and understand that you are not the MOST talented in your field, and that your fans are the only success you have.
I forced myself to Fav one or two of your works, but I'll tell you honestly, I'd have Fav'd many more if you had Humility appropriate to your station. Grow, mature, and develop your inner self, and your success will increase accordingly... you'd be surprised how much that kind of thing matters in the "real" world which exists - and determines much - outside of your skull. How about we talk to people not pretending they know all the abbreviations and explain first what is rp, uh?

Photonic Radio Frequency Memory Using Frequency Shifting Recirculating Delay Line Structure
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 32, Issue 1, pp. 99-106 (2014)
Acrobat PDF (1035 KB)
A new structure for storing a radio frequency (RF) signal utilising a fibre-optic delay line is presented. It is based on a frequency shifting recirculating delay line loop for the RF pulse storage, which prevents lasing and enables multiple recirculations and long storage time to be realised. The new photonic RF memory (PRFM) can realise a long reconfigurable storage time, wide instantaneous bandwidth and high dynamic range. Experimental demonstration of the frequency shifting loop based PRFM has been carried out for the first time, showing a long and reconfigurable storage time of more than 300 μs with high signal fidelity.

First Look: Harry Potter's Three Broomsticks restaurant now open all day

First Look: Harry Potter's Three Broomsticks restaurant now open all dayPublished: June 10, 2010 at 6:03 PM It's been serving breakfast for a couple of weeks, but today the Three Broomsticks restaurant at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened for all today for lunch and dinner, too. Here's a first look at the fish, chips and butterbeer being served.
Replies (7)Published: June 11, 2010 at 3:13 AM Thanks for the review, although it sounds like quite a disappointment. Here's to hoping someone from Universal reads your review and steps in to right the ship.... ;)Published: June 10, 2010 at 8:38 PM Thanks for the comment, James.I was hoping Universal would add a full-service restaurant. It has only Mythos and Confisco Grille; I think it could support another waiter-service venue. Scott Published: June 11, 2010 at 3:16 AM Agreed. A full service option was something I expected as well. And as good as everything else in the WWoHP reportedly is, 3 Broomsticks should have given Mythos a run for its money. I guess Universal had to cut corners somewhere... tsk, tsk...Published: June 11, 2010 at 3:49 AM I am highly distressed by the review. Though American, I am quite a fan of several British/Irish dishes and hate to hear that my beloved Shepards Pie has been disrespected so significantly....Should have hired me, I cook a magnificent pie. :( Sounds like the intent was just another quick, grab-n-getout fast food eatery. Such a shame. Oh well, so long as the food stays tasty (and they continue to honor happy hour) at Confisco Grill, I will continue to do my dining there. Cheers. Published: June 11, 2010 at 11:45 AM Thank you, Scott. Great review, and further evidence of something we've been talking about the last few months - food improvement at theme parks.Look at all the painstaking detail they went into making this restaurant. It's gorgeous. Then take a look at the picture of Scott's food. Shepherd's Pie in a plastic dish? And what the hell is on the side? I can't decide if it's supposed to be salad or side vegetables. Shepherd's Pie and Fish 'n' Chips are not too difficult to get right, so how they screwed up the pie is beyond me. Also, the restaurant should be table service. When I pictured this place in my head, I thought of being served by a sassy, old, English witch. I pictured chairs that tucked themselves in when guests left. I thought of food served in wooden dishes and stone goblets. I did not picture fast food self-served in plastic trays. I'm not even sure they have plastic in the wizard world. Published: June 11, 2010 at 12:15 PM Trouble is that a counter service place can serve many, many more people in an hour than can a table-service facility. That's why parks - ultimately, a volume business - keep opting for counter service restaurants.Published: June 14, 2010 at 5:32 PM Just visited the park two days ago and thoroughly enjoyed the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Although we bypassed Three Broomsticks and went to Mythos for lunch, we did visit Hogs Head tavern for a round of butterbeers (the frozen variety) which were enjoyable albeit a tad too sweet for my taste. Just imagine drinking butterscotch with a buttery foam head to it... The pub itself was attached to Three Broomsticks and just what I imagine an English pub would look like on the inside and they even serve Guinness and other ales for those who prefer an alcoholic beverage. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely recommend the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to all!This article has been archived and is no longer accepting comments.

Viennese Coffee Culture 101: The Waiters
First-time visitors come to Vienna thinking that they have prepared adequately for local coffeehouse culture. They've read about all the famous coffeehouses in their trusty travel guides. They've even memorized all the local types of coffee.
Thinking that they've self-educated adequately, they enter a Kaffeehaus somewhere in the First District, ready to be swept away to a vanquished era of Habsburg grandeur. As soon as the door shuts behind them—cigarette smoke penetrating their nostrils—they choose a spot to lounge and try to grab the waiter's attention, either the preferred local term for "waiter"—will come, just not instantaneously.
According to Andreas Augustin, author of "Das Cafe Central Treasury: The Secret of a Famous Coffee House," your waiter "…noticed you three streets away, at the precise moment you decided to come to the Kaffeehaus."
He continues: "Be considerate if Herr Ober does not recognize you on your first visit. The aloofness stems from the days when there was an average of one point nine Nobel Prize Winners seated at every table in a Viennese Kaffeehaus."
You can find Augustin's fabulous book online.
