Ten Best Restaurants in Boca Raton
2. Rebel HouseCourtesy photo
Though owners Michael Saperstein and Evan David might be best-known for their highly regarded burgers and tacos at their fast-casual Deerfield Beach spot's Charm City Burgers and El Jefe Luchador, they've sure as hell helped to turn Boca's staid dining scene around with their revolutionary Rebel House. The eclectic, artsy environment depicts the overall concept of the food: different and certainly daring for Boca Raton. With a selection of veggies like roasted rainbow carrot salad with avocado, toasted seeds, herbs, and sprouts in a citrus-sesame vinaigrette; munchies, such as the eggplant "parm" poppers with quatro formaggio, tomato ragu, and tiny basil or the pretzel grilled cheese filled with pork belly, gjetost cheese, peach marmalade, and spicy pickled peaches; interesting cheese and charcuterie; and "plates" including an "OG" recipe fried chicken and biscuits with cheddar-jalapeño biscuits, candied bacon syrup, and watermelon relish, this spot has brought big-city new American comfort fare to the sleepy sixth borough; let's be happy they're moving it along.
1. Kapow! Noodle BarCourtesy Photo
Our pick for Best New Restaurant Palm Beach County - 2012, this trendy little noodle bar finds itself on all sorts of lists thanks to its creative Asian fare that spans across the continent, with Japanese ramen, Vietnamese wings, Chinese dim sum, and fusion buns with duck confit or Korean bulgogi; an innovative cocktail program ranging from house-infused bourbon to low-impact cocktails -- that won't get you wasted in a heartbeat; and an unpretentious, edgy environment with indoor/outdoor bar and a massive mural on the wall. Boca might be known for its gray-haired snowbirds and fancy-pants establishments, but this place negates any ill perceptions -- it certainly livens things up for happy hour. It's fun, laid-back, and -- in many ways -- very un-Boca.

3G or Not 3G? That Is the Question
by Skip Pizzi
on 11.19.2008
It's now no longer a question of if, but rather when, the wireless Internet will have measurable impact on radio listening. The proliferation of broadband wireless devices (both handhelds and automotive) and 3G/4G services (using EV-DO, HSDPA and WiMAX technologies) is well underway, and popular units like the iPhone already offer branded applications that make it easy to listen to certain Internet radio streams. Some Internet radio services also present iPhone-optimized pages to which iPhone users are automatically directed when seeking those URLs from that platform.
The effect of this trend on broadcast radio can be either positive or negative, depending on which streams users choose to listen to.
If they are broadcasters' streams, those stations thereby extend their brand and influence to a new platform. This is particularly important because many of those handheld devices do not include broadcast radio receivers, so the path for broadcasters' content to flow to the users of these devices is via wireless broadband, not AM or FM transmission. If listeners choose non-broadcast Internet radio streams on these devices, however, this is yet another nail in broadcast radio's coffin.
Thus it is critical for broadcasters to acknowledge this movement and to compete in this fast-moving marketplace. This implies that broadcast engineers should now become familiar with the process and platforms involved, if they are not already.

Some large broadcasters may want to address these new platforms (such as the iPhone) on their own, while it may make sense for other broadcasters to work with a third party — such as Radiolicious, iheartradio or others — for such efforts.
Alas, poor Radio…
It seems a bit silly to broadcasters to have to go through the Internet to get to these devices when they exist within stations' local broadcast coverage zones, but such is the control that wireless network operators obtain through their subsidy of these devices.
There is still a battle afoot over whether at least FM receivers will be included (via mandate or voluntarily) in wireless devices, but odds appear to be against this happening to any large measure. It is therefore to broadcasters' advantage to play along rather than fight; discretion is the better part of valor.
Consider that getting to these handsets costs the broadcasters no more than it does to get to any other unicast Internet terminal, so if the 3G path is the only way in, why not take it?
Another advantage to broadcasters is the continuing improvement of the quality and penetration of Internet audio delivery. The cost of these rapid and massive infrastructure improvements are borne by the network operators, and are essentially free to broadcasters or other streaming providers.
Think of it as a third-party transmitter company that carries your content to a secondary set of users at minimal cost, and which continues to expand the coverage and quality of its delivery service for you at no extra charge. (If anything, bandwidth costs to large users like streaming audio services are decreasing in many cases.)
Of course, most of the cost for this delivery service is actually paid by the end users, who are willing to do so to get Internet access in general. The fact that Internet radio becomes available in the process seems like a bonus feature to these customers, and thus it appears "free" — which fits nicely into the broadcast service tradition.
Broadcasters are not the direct beneficiary of any of this service revenue collected by wireless networks, but they can benefit indirectly via advertising, as they always have. Bandwidth costs to broadcasters can be considered as paid in lieu of transmitter amortization and maintenance. On a per-listener basis, these fees may be at relative parity to the ongoing cost of supporting over-the-air delivery (depending on the relative sizes of on-air vs. online audiences).
Meanwhile, the 3G network providers obtain a great value-add to the appeal of their service from Internet radio offerings, giving them further incentive to not include AM/FM receivers on their devices.
Note also that the general trend of telecom providers toward "triple play," in which the same service provider offers multichannel TV, telephone and Internet access, or even "quad play," in which wireless voice/data service is bundled as well, notably leaves out radio — at least the broadcast variety (i.e., some TV services include their own music channels, which are either the remains of the old "cable radio" services, or provided as alternate delivery services by Sirius XM).
All's well that ends well?
So if radio broadcasters in the U.S. are to take their place among the digital service trinity of Voice, Video and Data, it will necessarily be by their own doing, via the Data component.
This implies that they will also have to promote their presence there, since they will be bundled among a nearly infinite number of other services, and in a "pull" environment, which is quite a different service model than what broadcasters are used to.
That could be the greatest challenge of all, but a synergistic balance of cross-promotion and counter-programming between on-air and online services could provide an extremely powerful combination in the new media world, and is something only broadcasters can offer.
Also bear in mind that while wireless Internet service may seem a far cry from broadcast radio in terms of availability and coverage today, this too is changing rapidly.
Consider that today there are already resourceful listeners who choose to listen to local AM stations via the (wired) Internet, preferring the quality and building penetration of the streaming service over the RF delivery — no surprise, if the Internet is available and free at the listener's location.
Beyond such early shifts, the eventual goal of wireless service providers is seamless 3G/4G coverage in most markets, with some devices perhaps even switching transparently between transmission technologies. This could truly make radio delivery via Internet streams a viable equivalent (or in some cases, superior, as in the AM example above), even within broadcasters' local markets.
As an interesting and relevant aside, consider that T-Mobile already offers a phone that switches between the cellular network and VoIP-over-WiFi during a call.
(For example, a user can start a voice call in the car via the cellular network, and upon reaching home, office or anywhere else where a WiFi hotspot open to the device exists, continue the call via WiFi without even knowing the switch had occurred — unless the user happened to look at the handset's screen, where an icon displays the current connection mode.
Notably, T-Mobile bills for the call from where it started, so although WiFi calls are free, if the call was started on the cellular network, the time spent in WiFi mode still counts against the caller's cellular minutes. On the other hand, the opposite is also true; a call started in a WiFi hotspot remains free even after it switches onto the cellular network, at least under the current billing scheme.)
Some anecdotal reports have also circulated recently regarding Internet radio listening via 3G in a moving vehicle, which found remarkable continuity over long distances. (Other informal tests have found the opposite, however, so this capability is not yet broadly assured.)
Finally, remember that Internet radio listening is measurable, more so than over-the-air service, in fact, since it can be accomplished either via streaming service reports from host servers, or via audience research (diary or PPM). Any out-of-market listening via the Web is a bonus, but it will be difficult to monetize.
Thus broadcasters' focus should be on building audience for their streaming services in their local markets, and adding this component to their traditional sales processes.
So it's once more unto the breach for radio broadcasters. Exploring this area sooner rather than later is the prudent course, since it may soon become an important venue by which your countrymen lend you their ears.

Amber Lubbers pleaded guilty of being an accessory after the fact on Thursday in a Siskiyou County, Calif. Court. She was originally charged with murder in MacCallum's death.
MacCallum's body was found in a rural part of northern Siskiyou County in November 2012. Police say the man was shot.
Siskiyou County Sheriff officials arrested Lubbers and her step-sister Patricia MacCallum in December in connection with MacCallum's death. Patricia is MacCallum's wife.
Lubbers was extradited to California from Medford in December.
She testified today as part of a hearing for Patricia. During her testimony, she said the killing was planned.
Lubbers sentencing is set for Feb. 28

Vince Gill and Garth Brooks are double-winners in the 26th annual Country Music Association awards at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House.
Today's #DailyDigitalDownload is from Willie Nelson's CD "To All The Girls..." The CD contains duets with some amazing and talented women. This song includes Dolly Parton.
Charlie Worsham may be considered one of Nashville's most talented musicians, but he says no one can compare to Dolly Parton.
The Foo Fighters already had a close country connection, as lead singer Dave Grohl worked with the Zac Brown Band on their latest album, 'The Grohl Sessions, Vol. 1,' but now the entire band is embracing the Nashville music scene.
No one thought she would do it, but the always glamorous Dolly Parton has completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge ... in a way only she could.
25 years ago today (Aug. 5, 1989), Dolly Parton achieved her 16th No.1 hit with her single, 'Why'd You Come in Here Lookin' Like That.'
The lost dog Dolly Parton nearly took home as a souvenir from the Glastonbury Festival is going home.
Following her performance at England's Glastonbury Festival on Sunday (June 29), Dolly Parton is responding to rumors that she lip-synched during her set.
In what has to be one of the strangest videos making its way around the intertubes today, Dolly Parton takes to the stage at England's Glastonbury Festival this past weekend and treats the crowd to a hometown favorite.
I never thought I would see the day! Dolly Parton was joined by Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora at her show last week in London. They performed the Bon Jovi song "Lay Your Hands On Me".
Showing further signs that his condition has greatly improved, singer Randy Travis made an appearance to see good friend Dolly Parton perform Saturday night in Thackerville, OK.

"Splendour of the Silk Road" Top 5 Page for this destination Samarkand by toonsarah
Samarkand Travel Guide: 317 reviews and 948 photos
(Els, one of our travelling companions, at the Shah-i-Zinda)
After Khiva and Bukhara, Samarkand seems big and full of bustle, but unlike Tashkent it retains more of its central Asian character, even in the more modern areas of the city. As an overall destination it didn't move me in the way that Bukhara had, but some of the individual sights are among the most striking I have seen anywhere.
In particular, the first impression of the Shah-i-Zinda will remain with me always, and naturally too the stunning Registan Square, though I was more prepared for that by images I'd seen before the trip.
Don't miss either the huge Bibi Khanum Mosque, the rich colours of the Gur Emir, the fascinating Observatory of Ulug Beg and the wonderful smells and sights of the bazaar.
This is also a good place in which to do your souvenir shopping as the madrassahs of the Registan are crammed with small shops selling local crafts of varying qualities and to suit all pockets. And despite the faster pace and more modern appearance of this city, the people here are as warm and welcoming as everywhere else in this friendly country (well, apart from one waitress!)
Some of the sights here, notably the Registan and Shah-i-Zindah, are really a grouping of several buildings. In order to do them justice I've devoted several tips to each, but do feel free to skip some if you're only looking for a quick overview.
1. On the whole, I've written tips about the local customs and way of life on my Uzbekistan page. I've also included there some general information on things like packing, planning your visit etc. and some warnings. You may find some of this info duplicated here, but only where I feel it's of particular relevance to do so.
2. Uzbek place names have several spellings. For instance, Samarkand may also be spelt as Samarqand. The same applies to people's names, e.g. when applied to specific buildings, so the Afrosiab Hill is also sometimes called Afrosyab or I've also seen Afrosiyob. I've used the version taken from the excellent guidebook, "Uzbekistan: the Golden Road to Samarkand" (written by Calum MacLeod & Bradley Mayhew, published by Odyssey) which uses the most common form for well-known place-names (e.g. Tashkent rather than Toshkent) but adopts the newer Uzbek Latin spelling for street names, buildings etc.
3. Finally, as I've said elsewhere: in planning for and dreaming of my visit to Uzbekistan I owe so much to Ingrid (Trekki) who was always ready with advice and inspiration. Her Samarkand page inspired me and I'm sure it will do the same for you. Thank you so much, Ingrid :)
- In a nutshell:Will take your breath away!!

Your photos and excellent tips reveal such an interesting journey this was and how exquisite the sights were. Was wondering if this was a pre-arranged tour beginning in England or if arrangements were made while already in Samarkand. Undoubtedly a very memorable trip in every respect! Your choice of souvenirs certainly seemed like ones that I would also be attracted to!
Not that we will get to here, but I have studied the culture some, and the TVfeatures it often. YOu did a great job of describing the sites-Registan for sure-and the pictures are wonderful.
Great Samarkand travel page with interesting shopping and restaurants tips. The Registan and Shah-i-Zinda certainly sound wonderful to visit and explore especially those mausoleums, and so are the bazaar and the mosque. ~ho & pang
Loved the Registan at night photo. Excellent B&B tip as well. As always, a stellar page, Toonsister.
Brilliant photos and descriptions! I've never been to the Silk Road, but there was a fine exhibition about it at one of the museums in Mannheim last year, which certainly aroused my curiosity.
Lovely page! Brings back so many great memories! Thank you for sharing - Ulrike
Sarah, Samarkand looks fantastic in your way. I decided to add this place into my wish list after your tips. Bora
Excellent pages, you've set a high standard.
I had a better now, and I'm still impressed! I'll definitely check out how to do a trip like this backpacking-style. How is the level of English with the local people there? Or do you really need to speak Russian?
Great website, information and pictures are excellent!

Haiti struck twice in the final five minutes to earn a shocking 2-2 draw with Italy in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.
Emanuele Giaccherini put the Azzurri ahead inside the opening minute, but they failed dismally to build on their early advantage and only managed to double their lead, through Claudio Marchisio, after the introduction of several first-team regulars in the second half.
Haiti pulled a goal back when Olrish Saurel slotted home a penalty and it claimed a dramatic - but wholly deserved - equalizer with just 30 seconds of injury time remaining when Jean-Phillippe Peguero fired home.
Les Grenadiers had made a slow start in their 2-1 friendly defeat to Spain in Florida at the weekend, conceding twice inside the opening 19 minutes, but Israel Blake Cantero's men appeared to be in even worse trouble after falling a goal down to the Azzurri with just 20 seconds gone.
Antonio Candreva was released into space down the left-hand side, and the Lazio winger hooked the ball into the middle of the area for the onrushing Giaccherini, who controlled the cross instantaneously before immediately firing past a helpless Frandy Montrevil.
The Haiti shot-stopper denied Italy a second goal just 10 minutes later when he flung himself across his goal to keep out a fine strike from distance from Candreva. The Biancocelesti ace, the star performer in an opening quarter dominated by the Azzurri, went close again moments later, after a jinking run into the area, but Haitian spirits were lifted by a sweet strike from Jeff Louis that stung the palms of Salvatore Sirigu in the Italy goal.
Cesare Prandelli's men continued to look like scoring every time they got near the Haiti area, though, and Alberto Gilardino actually had the ball in the net on the half-hour mark, but the resurgent Bologna striker was correctly flagged for offside.
The veteran forward then struck the post in the 43rd minute, after failing to make sufficient contact with a low cross from fullback Mattia De Sciglio, before Rossoblu teammate Alessandro Diamanti hit the side-netting with a curling free kick right on halftime.
A minute after the restart, Gilardino shot straight at Montrevil, after being slipped into space on the edge of the box by Giaccherini, but it was Haiti that looked the more likely scorer immediately after the restart, with an unmarked Kevin Lafrance headed wastefully wide from a corner.
Therefore, it was no surprise that Prandelli decided during this rather nervy spell for his side to bring on some of the big guns, namely Mario Balotelli, Daniele De Rossi and Riccardo Montolivo.
Balotelli teamed up with two later arrivals, Stephan El Shaarawy and Marchisio, to make it 2-0 with 17 minutes remaining.
The volatile striker played a neat one-two with El Shaarawy before pulling the ball back for his AC Milan colleague. The 20-year-old saw his shot well saved by Montrevil, but Marchisio was on hand to tap in the rebound.
It appeared to be game over for Haiti, but the underdogs set up a frantic finale when Saurel slotted home from the spot, after Davide Astori had felled Jean-Eudes Maurice in the area.
Italy looked to have survived the Haitian onslaught, but with just seconds to go, Peguero latched onto a long ball over the top, held off Leonardo Bonucci and drove the ball past Federico Marchetti to earn a famous draw for the CONCACAF nation.

Lazy Thursday Photo Round-Up
One of the many blurry photos that still fail to fully capture the spirit of the boys' favorite game, "Everybody Jump Off The Arm Of The Couch And Pile Up On Mom." Play it today with your own 140+ pounds' worth of boy-children!
Ike diagnosed me with a bad case of falling down and getting hurt (CHILD GETS ME, RIGHT?) and bandaged me up with a few dozen Ninjago stickers. It was cute at first but then every last one of these stickers ended up sticky-side down on the floor, where they demonstrated remarkable sticking power for a bunch of years' old novelty stickers. There's been a lot of scraping and cursing ever since.
(But at least my leg is all better now, according to Ike.)
This is how I felt about going back to blonde:
This is me now:
I'm ridiculous, I'm aware. But happy enough to actually smile in a damn picture!
I made these noodles and learned how to properly pan-fry tofu. I told the kids we were having Kung Fu Panda Peanut Butter Noodles for dinner and everybody lost their damn minds.
Then this one time? They all sat still, next to each other, for almost an entire minute. It was glorious.
Finally, I misplaced my phone for awhile. When I found it, it was full of foreheads and eyeballs. One day someone is going to figure out how to take a picture of their butt and it will all be over, THE END.

The Night of the Traveling Ike
Jason's away this week, off upstate in the middle of nowhere, doing work-related fly fishing. Which is a thing, I guess. Business fishing. A River Runs Through IT Consulting. I don't know. But it means the kids and I have had an extra heaping dose of togetherness this week.
And it's all been fine! Jason gave the boys a SERIOUS TALK about helping Mom around the house before he left, which I then supplemented with straight-up bribery. I WILL GIVE YOU MONEY FOR DOING THINGS THAT ARE NOT FIGHTING.
Also you can watch a movie every night, as long as Mom Has Not Had It and Does Not Need It To Be Bedtime Right This Second. I taught Noah how to vacuum and make macaroni & cheese, Ezra's watering the garden and putting silverware away, and Ike...
Well, Ike's been here! That's for sure.
Although last night, on the other hand...
I put everybody to bed after their movie — it was late so both Noah and Ezra were practically asleep by the time I closed the door, while Ike didn't even wait for me to leave before attempt Bed Escape #1 of the night.
I scooted him back into bed and went downstairs to find some girly indie love story movie to watch — THE TELEVISION IS MINE! IT'S GONNA BE ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE GIVING EACH OTHER KNOWING LONGING LOOKS THROUGH THEIR PAIN ALL UP IN THIS BITCH — and tried to ignore the repeated sounds of the door opening, the multiple drinks of water at the bathroom sink, the fetching of yet another super important book or Lego figure or God knows what.
"BACK TO BED, IKE," I probably hollered up once or twice, because I am super involved and effective like that.
Finally, all was silent. So I went up to check on everybody — my usual ritual of making sure no one's hanging off the edge of the bed or asleep in the laundry basket, plus collecting covers and pillows from the floor, removing excess books or Lego figures or God knows what from under their bodies.
Noah, check. Ezra, check. Ike...
Well, Ike was not there.
Okay. I guess he didn't return after one of those excursions after all. I peeked in his old room, then my room, then my office. The bathrooms, maybe? I checked my bed again, then their bed again. I went downstairs, then to the basement.
No Ike.
I did another lap around the house, calling for him this time, both irritated and vaguely alarmed. Who loses a kid in a townhouse? Who gets so into feeling sad about the loss of James Gandolfini and baffled by the reverse hotness aging process of Julia Louis-Dreyfus that she doesn't realize her child has wandered off, and apparently wandered off FOR SERIOUS, because I was now on my third frantic search of the house and there was still no sign of him. The front and back doors were still locked, so. Okay.
I was out of ideas, so I figured I'd go back upstairs and start over.
As I neared the top of the stairs, I suddenly noticed something...
Something I could just barely make out in the shadows...
(If life was a J-horror movie, this is when he would've woken up and looked at me with the light reflecting in his eyes, causing me to fall down the stairs and die. My death would be ruled an accident, until some unlucky investigator would come around asking too many questions, awaking the ancient curse of the demonic dustbunnies who live under the crib.)
He didn't wake up. I assume he went under there to retrieve his pencil and then decided he was actually kinda sleepy.
I understand — I had to lie down on the stairs for a few minutes there myself until my heart started up again. I hadn't even noticed it had stopped. DEAR GOD, CHILD.
(Cat-owners. You feel me. It's like when your cat goes missing and you run around looking for him and calling for him and shaking treat containers and trying to remember when you last opened the front door oh God do you think that's possible? Do you think he got outside? And then you find him just chilling on a pile of towels on the top shelf of the linen closet, all, "What?" Yeah. Like that.)

The Threeiest Three to Ever Three
Age three. Not exactly my jam, historically speaking. And just over a month in to Age Three, Round Three, I am hereby declaring Ike the undisputed champion of Being Three.
Everywhere, it's destruction. Innocent, well-meaning, utter destruction. An entire spice container of mustard seeds, rolling across the kitchen floor. A roll of plastic wrap, unspooled. An important piece of mail, snipped up with the safety scissors. Crayon scribbles on his bedroom door, an uncapped marker in his bed, eyeliner masterpieces on my good pillow shams.
And every time, an wide-eyed, innocent face. "What?" he asks.
In between the destruction, there are little piles of discarded clothing all around the house and a naked child streaking past. It started because I used to insist on putting his underwear on the right way, with the design on his butt, and he'd get so furious at not being about to see the Hulk or Iron Man or whatever that he'd strip as soon as I got distracted to turn it around. (Dear Toddler Underpants Makers: STOP PUTTING THE PICTURES ON THE BUTTS.) I finally gave up and let him wear his underwear backwards, but the habit stuck, I guess.
"I'm not naked," he says, right before running away. "YOU'RE NAKED."
(I'm totally not, BTW.)
And in between the destruction and the nonsensical nudity, there is no no no no no no no no no no no. Whatever it is, it is NO. It's time to go. Please put that down. Would you like a snack? The default response to any question, request or simple declarative sentence. The sky is blue. Your name is Ike.
"No!" he'll wail, frustration oozing out of every pore, "I'm NOT Ike. I'm IKE!"
He asks for milk and then changes his mind and sobs for juice, then freaks out if you put the milk back in the fridge. He doesn't want a banana until someone else gets a banana. The cup is the wrong cup, oh God, it's still aways the wrong goddamn cup. He holds out his arms at the top of the stairs and begs "TAKE ME, TAKE MEEEEE" whenever my hands are full, then pouts and refuses to come down on his own. But if I try to hold his hand on the cement steps outside (steps he has tripped and fallen on more than once), he'll yank it away in annoyance.
"I do it myself!" he announces about everything that he technically can't do by himself yet. Buckling the carseat, for example, and yet when I intervene (because, you know, we are most likely in a giant hurry and late to drive somewhere whenever he decides to attempt it), I am trampling his rights and crushing his spirit.
But then, ask him to do something he's able to do independently, like put his underwear back on for God's sake we have company coming, he points his finger at me. "You do it," he says, before collapsing to the floor like a helpless lasagna noodle.
He's heavy (there's only a seven-pound difference between him and Ezra) and solid and wriggly and comes in for cuddles like a swinging bag of bricks. A well-meaning hug and kiss routinely end with a headbutt and me protectively clutching my chest. He wakes me up in the morning by forcing my eyelids open with his fingers before crawling on top of me and begging for a pillow fight.
"STOP IT!" he says a million times a day, usually after someone has done the precise form of roughhousing/tickling he was begging them for, "That's ENOUGH."
And in between the destruction and the nonsensical nudity and the NO NO NO and the contradictions and the chaos, there is calm. He curls up in my lap and snuggles and strokes my face.
"I'm the baby?" he asks, as if looking for reassurance. Being three seems kind of hard, after all.
"Yes, you're still my baby," I tell him, every time. "You'll always be my Baby Ike."

The Week's Stunning Accomplishments
1) Get ready to be wildly impressed, because it's been quite a week.
2) I gave my children over to the cult of Minecraft in exchange for not being bothered for the next 48 solid hours.
Noah played Minecraft for the first time at a friend's house last weekend, and went predictably nuts over it. At least, I assume that's a predictable reaction? Minecraft seems to be one of those things that every kid his age is going nuts over, and another one of those things that pushes me deeper and deeper into Uncool Mom Territory, because Noah goes on and on about it while I nod blankly and glaze over, and my brain is all I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THIS. DISENGAGE.
So at first I figured, okay, I'll get him the game. It is...a game, right? Like an app? I actually was not entirely sure. I really missed out on even the most basic of information about what we were talking about, and I am now officially basing my parenting/media choices on whether or not 1) other kids' parents seem cool with it, and 2) Target sells kid-sized t-shirts of it. That's the bar now: IT CANNOT BE WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE IF IT'S BEING LICENSED FOR KID-SIZED T-SHIRTS.
But then I looked it up in the app store and it was like, $6.99 and I was like, I am too damn cheap for that. I am all about the crappy free apps that then stymie my children at every turn because I've disabled in-app purchases.
Noah and Ezra were really determined, however. They spent a considerable amount of time shaking coins out of their piggy banks and between the two of them, were able to come up with $7 in quarters and dimes.
I took that $7 (I owe them a penny, I guess) and bought them Minecraft. We have barely spoken to each other since as they have been beyond singularly obsessed with it, like Noah wakes up even earlier now to play it and I have to remind him to eat meals and I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS. Something with blocks and Noah keeps accidentally setting houses on fire.
But hey, they did some math one time. Achievement unlocked. A champion is me.
3) We left the house! We left the motherflipping house! Hell yeah!
We met a friend at a splash playground.
It takes about a half hour to drive there.
Plus the time to get everyone in their suits and sunscreen.
And packing up snacks, drinks, towels and changes of clothes always seems to take longer than it should.
The kids played hard and had fun...
...for like an hour. And then they all started complaining about being hungry/tired/bored.
So we all got back in the car and went home. But hey! At least I had $7 in Minecraft money to treat myself to an overpriced Coke from the vending machines. I am truly living the dream.
4) I got a lot of work done.
No lie, I did! I landed a new long-term writing/research gig and heard back about two other jobs that look like they're close to being a done deal and also had a very productive conference call that got interrupted by a small child walking into the office to loudly announce I WENT POOP ON THE POTTY! COME WIPE MY BUTT.
Did I mention I was on speakerphone? Of course I was on speakerphone.
(Ezra and Ike are going to camp next week, oh yes yes yessssshhhmyprecious. Noah will stay home with me, surely getting hours of excellent enrichment via whatever the fuck is the point of Minecraft.)
5) Ike spent his first full week completely out of the crib.
Oh, man. I was pretending this was just a summertime sleepover treat, but it's a done deal now. No crib, no diapers, no training pants, no containment, no going back.
He and Ezra are sharing opposite ends of the bottom bunk (it's a double, so there's still room for 500 pounds of essential stuffed animal) and Noah is still on the top, and no one seems to have any enthusiasm about changing this arrangement and turning the nursery into a single Big Kid room.
It's sweet that they can fight and wale on each other all day but still want to be together and pile up like puppies at night. So three kids in one room it is, for now. Zero babies in the other.
(Really smells like feet in there, tho.)

Ready For Our Close-Up
Back in May, we had another lovely family photo session with the lovely Wendy of Blue Lily Photography. Our shoot was in Rock Creek Park in the early evening, so we decided to head into the city a little early and get dinner at our favorite pizza spot. We all got dressed up, spruced up, and made it to the restaurant just in time to beat the dinner rush and snag a big table in the back.
As soon as we sat down, I surveyed my dapperly dressed offspring and was like, oh, shit.
I'd had them all wear their nice collared shirts to dinner, and I'd brought zero back-up outfits in case of a spill or other disaster. And by "disaster," I mean "thing that basically happens every single meal of our lives, and is as predictable as the moon and the stars and U R AN IDIOT, AMY."
My children — Ezra and Ike in particular — rarely leave the dinner table looking like they need anything short of a good hosing off, or a go through the nearest carwash. They are messy, klutzy, dribbly eaters.
Sure, the shirts were all just random things I'd grabbed at Old Navy that day so we could be somewhat coordinated without being too matchy, but they were clean shirts. Collared shirts. Which means they were fancy shirts.
And they were now in mortal tomato-sauce-related peril. What in the world had I been thinking?
(I'd probably been thinking about what the hell happened to all my lipsticks, since I could only find one to wear that day and it wasn't even close to my best shade and the whole thing was irritating me to no end, because who is stealing all my lipsticks [IKE] and where are they ending up [NO IDEA]?)
By the time our food arrived the tables around us had filled up, and were absolutely, 100% convinced that I was a horrible, raving OCD lunatic who had no business raising children, because every other word out of my mouth was some snappish reminder to EAT OVER YOUR PLATE. EAT OVER YOUR PLATE! EZRA WATCH OUT FOR THE MILK DUDE YOUR ELBOW. EZRA WATCH OUT THAT MEATBALL IS GOING TO DRIP SAUCE OH MY GOD. EZRA USE A NAPKIN. NO NOT YOUR SHIRT NOT YOUR SHIRT NOTYOURSHIRT!
Also, my toddler was half-naked.
But at least once I took his shirt off, I mostly let him eat his pizza in peace.
The mighty sideeye I was getting from the neighboring tables got so noticeable that I finally leaned over and tried to explain. "We're getting nice pictures taken after this? And they're wearing...I forgot...I didn't think...yeah, I'm an idiot."
Luckily, everybody's clothing survived, and my obnoxious nagging didn't ruin anybody's mood.

The Great Baby Ike Rescue
It wouldn't be an All-American Olde Fashioned Tymes Storch Family Vacation without a little drama or injury of some kind, now would it?
The only Jamaica-related injuries sustained last week were 1) me bashing up my shin pretty nicely, during the packing process at home, after getting my foot tangled up in a Big Wheel in our basement storage area while attempting to gracefully step over it in order to get my underwear off the drying rack, and 2) I dunno, Jason got a weird rash from one of our sunscreens?
Pretty good, as these things go for us. Which left us in dire need for a little excitement and/or threat of mortal peril.
We had just sat down to our next-to-last lunch on our next-to-last day when we realized Ike had gotten up from the table already. Being the fiercely protective mama bear that I am, I shrugged and mumbled something (through a mouthful of fried chicken) about seeing him right over there a few seconds before, he probably went up to our bedroom or something.
I was right. But! One small extra thing.
And here's one of the quirks of staying in an old, traditional-style home, versus a hotel — there is no keyhole on this particular door. It locks from the inside with a turn of a knob. The bedroom doors in the children's area/suite/wing all have those knobs placed up near the ceiling to prevent kids from locking themselves in, plus those rooms are all accessible via keyed doors to the outside. But our master bedroom — being in another area of the house, on the top floor, where one would assume a Good Parent would mayyyyybe not let their small child wander unsupervised in the first place, you negligent monster — was different, the ONE door in the house with a lower lock.
So, yep. Ike locked himself in. Took all of 14 seconds out of our sight, by my guess.
We all stood outside the door for awhile and tried to jimmy open the lock, and then to coax Ike into turning the knob again so we could open the door. That worked about as well as you'd expect, so at that point 1) a ladder was called for, and 2) I finally put down my chicken and picked up the camera, because I needed to document this nonsense for his wedding.
Staff surveying the second-floor balconies from the patio below. (No sign of him, so Jason went off to do one last sweep of the rest of the house to make sure we weren't all trying to rescue Ike from a completely empty room.)
The ladder arrives.
The ladder goes up...
...as does Sascha, our nanny.
I should note that by the time she climbed up, Ike had probably been alone in our room for less than 10 minutes — and there was nothing remotely dangerous for him to get into, save for squirting out all the sunscreen bottles onto my laptop. Climbing over the balcony railings would've required him to push a 50-pound antique chair across the room, and there were now a good half-dozen staff members spaced out underneath. Point is, I wasn't worried, and mostly found this all to be hilarious, because OF COURSE it would be MY KID, and of all my kids, OF COURSE it would be IKE.
After climbing up and over, Sascha returned to the balcony laughing hysterically, and demanded that someone pass her up my camera.
Huh? Oh. Hey.
Yeah, he was just chillin' on the floor, doin' Baby Ike Stuffs, watching Ratatouille on the iPad, less than three damn feet from the damn door lock, completely oblivious to the excitement he'd caused.
Brothers, reunited. (With their precious iPad, that is.)
After all the rescue, we sat back down for lunch, take two.
We ate all the fried chicken, and Noah and Ike requested some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dessert. (Ezra asked for fruit. Always with the fruit.)
I guess causing all that chaos works up quite an appetite.
While I wrote this entry, Ike was busy doing this, with my lip glosses and eyeliners:
I totally thought he was playing with the iPad.

School Year Scorecard, Three Kids Version
In honor of today, Ezra and Ike's first official day of summer vacation, and Noah's second-to-last day of second grade (an occasion we already marked by accidentally oversleeping until 15 minutes before it was time to catch the bus), let's review how we did this year, logistically speaking:
(All results are estimates, except for the ones that are not.)
Number of times we missed the bus: One
Number of times we almost-but-not-quite missed the bus: Way more than that
Boxes of cereal consumed by children: Epic
Gallons of milk consumed by children: Mind-boggling
Bananas consumed by children: There's probably an entire species of monkeys that went extinct from starvation thanks to us.
Average number of pancakes consumed every morning: Eight, because I am mean and won't let them eat any more pancakes than that.
Number of fights over who gets the dark blue plate: 180
Number of breakfast table stomp-offs, Ezra: 90
Number of breakfast table stomp-offs, Ike: 90
Number of children who do not give a crap about the dark blue plate: One
Number of dark blue plates in stock, September: Four
Number of dark blue plates in stock, June: One
Number of dark blue plates in stock, once I'm reasonably sure no one is looking: Zero
Number of children who didn't want milk but wanted juice even though they said they wanted milk but I should have known they actually wanted juice: GUESS WHAT MOMMY DOESN'T CARE
Number of times I forgot to make coffee: Zero
Number of times we forgot to pack lunches the night before: 25

Ike's Third Year
Well, it happened. He's three now.
I don't think he can quite believe it either.
It is kind of a lot to handle.
We never figured out what "pirate treasure" was, but in between the day in the backyard with family and friends, the bubble machine, water table, endless watermelon slices, barbecue chicken and corn on the cob and rolls (ROLLS!) and a ton of superhero and dinosaur-related gifts, he never asked about it.
He did ask for his birthday A LOT, however, from the moment he woke up until this moment right here. Where's my birthday? I want my birthday.
"My birthday" = a cupcake. Naturally.
He skipped his nap. He spent all day outside, running, jumping, shooting water guns, chasing bubbles, hitting whiffle balls, and trying to climb his first tree.
I'm just surprised he managed to stay awake and not faceplant right into his birthday.
But no, he powered through pretty admirably. He liked his birthday a lot, he said.
I did too. I liked this whole year a lot, actually. Still-and-Always Baby Ike, you're a wonderfully awesome, great big kid.

"Good while it lasted "
I worked at Topcon Medical Systems full-time (more than 3 years)
There is minimal micro managing and a lot of creative freedom.
The facilities are large and in a beautiful location. (Nearby gym membership is subsidized)
There are bonus opportunities.
Many good people working there.
Annual downsizing has been the trend in recent years and unfortunately seniority and work performance are not considered in the decision making process.
Gain a deeper understanding of employee performance and growth.
Invest more into the software sector and you will see greater gains.

I worked at Topcon Medical Systems
ProsCutting edge technology;
Reasonable benefits;
Some good people still working thereConsPoor technical support due to management's failure to understand technical demands.
Very low pay compared to industry average;
No career growth, unless you talk your way through rather than do even outstanding work;
Lack of recognition for hardworking & dedicated people;
Company is in large driven by the sales dept. and they earn the most. Engineering, tech support and production are not allowed to provide any direction in even technical matters, unless sales approves;
Company is very political, and with a top->down approach;
Employees are exploited and if they try to discuss problems that bother them, ultimately they're marked for elimination - everyone is very expandable;
Most good technical talent has already left or is planning to leave soon.
Human Resources is management's extension and cannot be trusted in reporting any problems.
Gossip shapes employees reputation, not their actual achievements that benefit company and customers.Advice to ManagementAdviceCurrent management will not appreciate nor understand any advice. For years they've been worrying only about coping with picking up support calls, not understanding anything required to resolve those calls. You cannot manage people in technical teams properly unless you have enough technical skill to understand their daily work demand, and only then you can successfully understand boundaries and create appropriate strategies. Reports and statistics are only as good as the people doing them, and in Topcon, some people in operations and management responsible for reporting technical progress do very dry statistics that don't reflect reality which includes dynamic changes and human factor. Management is so withdrawn and above everyone, they cannot learn to recognize strengths and weaknesses of individual employees to properly utilize them. Management doesn't care to investigate any controversial claims, but take for granted what the hear and label employees based on limited contact and gossip. Some managers are known to place blame for their incompetence on their subordinates (finding scapegoats).

by The Spin
The Spin arrived at The Stone Fox Thursday night hoping that the inoffensive surf-pop melodies of a certain Southern crooner would be enough to make us forget about our weather woes. (Spoiler alert: They weren't!) The Southern crooner in question is of course Dent May, the Mississippi-born multi-instrumentalist who is currently on tour with California's Jack Name. But before either of those lo-fi pop phenoms could take the stage, local support D. Watusi needed to do their thing.
As is often the case on weeknights at The Stone Fox, D. Watusi began their set to a sparse crowd. But their jams quickly conjured up an audience, and after a few minutes, a healthy-sized crowd had gathered for the Watoos' particularly psychedelic set, which was peppered with desert rock and gospel melodies. The bulk of D. Watusi's performance consisted of one long, uninterrupted jam, highlighted by Cam Sarrett's metronomic drumming. It was dizzying and captivating, and after D. Watusi's performance, we grabbed a seat in order to mentally prepare for Jack Name's light show.
Jack Name (whose real name is John Webster Adams, but he's previously perfromed under the monikers MUZZ, Fictional Boys and John Webster Johns) didn't bring a literal light show with him. We do swear though, the tunes from his newest LP, Light Show, had The Spin feeling a little synesthetic on Thursday night. If bright, pulsating, warming light had an auditory equivalent, it'd probably be the shimmery, glitzy tunes from Name's latest record. Name was accompanied by a few familiar local faces, namely fellow rock 'n' rollers D. Watusi frontman Dillon Watson on guitar and Ryan Donoho (of OGG and more) on drums. Name is one of the headliners slated to play Nashville's Dead's Freakin' Weekend V fest this spring. Still, no complaints from us on getting to sneak in a preview set from the ethereal Jack a month ahead of schedule.
Closing out the night was Southern charmer Dent May. Though Dent may hail from Oxford, Miss., his tunes and general persona would fit right in with the current pop rock landscape of Southern California, headquarters to such like-minded dudes as Mac DeMarco and May's touring buddy Jack. That being said, May does have a distinctively different approach from DeMarco or Name. His songwriting and melodies are more straightforward, taking on smooth, almost easy-listening-like sensibilities in a live setting — kind of the best lounge music ever. Nevertheless, May's approach is just as garage-rocky as it is smoothed-out; just punk enough to keep his tunes from ever falling into full-blown bubble-gum pop territory.
On his latest album, Warm Blanket, Dent May complains that he was "born too late." He may very well have been born in the wrong region too. You get the sense that May would have been more at home in Brian Wilson's SoCal, cranking out one simple love tune after the other. Now that we think about it, ol' Dent might be on to something. Perpetual sun rays and no wind chill don't sound too bad right about now.
How much longer till spring again?

To all: i have had the HRSCK installed for about 5 years now, have replaced the controll arms, tie rod ends about a year ago. Now she's noisey again(clunk) when going over small bumps. How do I know when the shocks(H&R) are due for replacement? im going to estimate about 30-50K on the HRSCK.
bump... no one?

everyone thinks their an expert on here but yet only 1 reply? Thanks zeezoo for the response-good looking out!
that spring rate won't give you much travel with that test.
the only way is by checking for leaks on the shock... if there is clicking it probably some sort of loose ends. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Bimmer App |

text: Well I am going to be leaving this group due to the fact that we will be scheduling a repeat c-section. I found out that I am not only a high risk pregnancy but a VERY high risk pregnancy. They are very nervous that I will have another Placental Abruption around the same time as my daughters (34 Weeks) and I am now 30 weeks 4 days pregnant. They also think that my baby boy will be around 9 or 10 pounds and trying a VBAC with a baby this big they are very nervous about my uterus rupturing and me needing a c-section anyways. Also they will not allow me to go naturally all the way. They said I would have to get an epidural between 5-7 cm in case I need a c-section. So I decided instead of being devastated from having a c-section after having my mind and heart set on a natural VBAC we will schedule a repeat c-section! I am now preparing myself for either a early baby and emergency c-section or just a c-section at the end of January or first of February! It has been nice to have all of your girls support and information!!

What the HECK, WWE!!??!?!?
Really, intro, for a majority, is correct. The rest however, IS NOT!! I mean, this version doesn't get me tense, I don't feel the same intensity as the other one previously played. Get the other one on hear, and I bet you WILL have more people buying this theme. I mean, SERIOUSLY!!! If you wanna put themes on here, put one that people will LISTEN TO AND BUY!! One example, The Corre's theme, the one Emphatic did. THAT'S A GOOD THEME!! I'm really starting to lose faith in you guys. YOU"RE BETTER THAN THAT!!
Not the real theme.
As of September 30th, 2011 this is not the actual theme. The intro at the beginning is correct but the rest is wrong. In the end this song will never be played in a WWE Arena unless the Uso's use this theme in the future.
Intro + Production track
The Usos never used the full theme, only the intro. They used a production track called "Never Make It Without You" from Fifth Floor Music. It's still a good song.

"Great for the price!" 5/5
"San Fran is so expensive, we did not want to spend 1,000 for a hotel we were not going to spend much time in anyway. The hotel and location is ideal if you are more concerned with discovering the city. It was very clean, which was the most important to us. I would stay in this hotel again, great pick for friends or couples traveling together!"

"Nice hotel with great spot around" 5/5
"Stayed at Adante during the last week of October. Great experience. Room was clean, furnished with a CRT TV. The hotel is located on Geary Street with a lot of starbucks & excellent restaurants around (Katanaya, a japanese ramen restaurant...) Be careful, the elevator is in maintenance till december, but be sure an employee will come to help you to bring your cases to your room. "
