Situated across the street from MacArthur Park, you don't really want to cruise the streets at night or hang out here too long. But step inside and it's a whole different world with a nostalgic feel of a mom and pop coffeeshop back in the 60s, but more on a larger scale with about 7-8 cooks behind the counter, piling on the meat on top of the sliced breads. And many, many waiters and waitresses running around the restaurant to serve the hungry customers.
Langer's is always crowded, especially during lunch time. Lines out the door is pretty common. The huge menu could get overwhelming with different selections of sandwiches, steaks, and salads. Even grilled liver is on the menu if you dare try. But whenever I come here, I just order their most popular item: #19.
Pastrami sandwich with swiss cheese, cole slaw, and Russian style dressing served on rye bread (14.95
)The outer crust of the rye bread is crispy while the inner part of the bread is quite soft. I love sinking my teeth into the generous portion of the smokey flavored pastrami and swiss cheese. I would think the cole slaw would come as a side, but piled atop of the pastrami just completes this delicious sandwich altogether. Every bite is scrumptious!
The famous #19 pastrami sandwich is a pricey $14.95 but really worth it for the hefty pile of meat. I wouldn't share this sandwich with anyone, don't want to be giving death stares at each other. This delicatessen is a place worth coming back to over and over again. Langer's is notably THE place for the pastrami sandwich in the West Coast; Katz's being THE place in the East. I would say that Langer's beats Katz's in the battle of East coast and West coast. (The parking lot is on 7th Street and Westlake. Get your parking ticket stamped for a 1 hour validation).

Now, now, Langer's may be good, but not the only great corned beef and pastrami in the LA area. Have you ever had a pastrami sandwich at Tommy Pastrami's? I ate at the Huntington Beach location and the meat was delicious, the bread freshly baked, and the prices reasonable. Trust me on this, my grandfather ran a Bronx eatery.
re: Discerning1
Discerning1 - I have been to Tommy Pastrami's in HB and other locations. I'll agree with you that Tommy Pastrami's is good, but doesn't compare to Langer's.

re: Discerning1
It's an apples-and-oranges comparison that has tied Chowhounds into knots.
There are two kinds of pastrami: the (relatively) lean, dense, dry Jewish deli pastrami of which Langer's is the master, and the fatty, chewy, moist pastrami served on hoagie rolls at places like Johnnie's and the Hat. IMHO, the best of the latter can be found at the Oinkster in Eagle Rock.
The two styles are very different, each is very good in its own way. I consider myself fortunate to live in a city that has both.

re: maxzook
I love Oinkster's pastrami (though not as much as Langer's), but recently Oinkster seems to be in a downward spiral. The last time I was there (in June) the pastrami was less that stellar and the roll had a flavor and texture that could be confused with post-consumer waste.
re: Peripatetic
Funny, but I had the opposite Oinkster experience this past Friday - and I'm no Oinkster fan.
But for the first time, everything came together. Place was packed, nice vibe throughout, the line moved quickly, and the order takers had their act down. Sandwiches arrived without much delay.
It's still not Langer's by any means, but for the FIRST time I thought the Pastrami at Oinkster was pretty good. Fries were great and son loved his burger.
I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I guess I'm not as much of a detractor. At least for now.

re: Briggs
I'm still an Oinkster fan, but a disillusioned one. I used to go at least once a month. Your report doesn't surprise me -- their problem seems to be consistency, not quality, so they still have good days. It's just that recently the good days have been fewer and the off-days have been really off.
re: maxzook
Two other major differences, Max. The corn rye bread used at Langers, and the dipping of the french roll in juices at The Hat, Johnnie's, etc.
0 -
re: maxzook
Actually, Oinksters pastrami (the meat) is modeled after Langer's, not Tommys, The Hat, Johnnie's, ad nauseum...
2005 Colorado Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 900410
re: BigGreener
Agreed. The pastrami is equal although I prefer the dimensions at Langers. But the bread at Langers is far, far superior.
re: JudiAU
I suggest trying Katz's Russian dressing. It destroys that nasty 1000 Island they have at Langer's. All in all, the meat is very close. I would give a slight edge to Katz's because of the other delicious options such as the Brisket, Corned Beef and Hot Dogs are also top notch. Also the mustard at Katz is far superior as well for the pastrami purists.
I am dreaming about that Russian dressing at Katz's though. : (
Oy, your review give me mishigas!
1) Langer's closes at 4pm so even in the bleakest of dreary winter afternoons there's no nighttime pastrami.
2) The meat at Langer's is generally considered to be adequately portioned, not generously portioned. "Hefty pile of meat" is more evocative of the Carnegie behemoth than the much more demure Langers sandwich.
3) In the two dozen or so times I've eaten there, I have never seen a line out the door.
4) #19 is blasphemous! Milchig on your fleishig? What's to stop the mayo and white bread from coming next? Oy gevalt! :)Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
"3) In the two dozen or so times I've eaten there, I have never seen a line out the door."
Try coming between 11:30 and 1. You'll see the line with velvet rope now. (No arguments with your other points)
re: Briggs
I've only been there for a weekday lunch twice, and both times there was no line, no velvet rope... (velvet rope? really?)
Also, if I may make a point on my own point, mayo in the cole slaw means that technically the #19 is implicitly violating another one of the Hallowed Hallmarks of Ashkenazic Cured Deli Meats.
By the way, I am saying this tongue-in-cheek, but I do wish that Langer's would pimp their awesome, plain pastrami sandwich first, and allow people to come to the #19 (or other modifications, blasphemous or not) only after they've learned to appreciate the pastrami minimally adorned. Diving into the #19 without first having a regular pastrami sandwich the way our New York Jewish forebears intended (with just a dab of Gulden) diminishes one's capacity to appreciate the perfection of the pastrami itself.
So please, Langer's newbies, eat the plain pastrami sandwich first. Love it. Appreciate it. Then move on to the #19 (or don't, if you prefer, as I do as well as generations of eastern European Jews who died to bring you such deliciousness. A shonda it is!)
How's that for a schmear of Jewish guilt?

re: Mr Taster
"mayo in the cole slaw means that technically the #19 is implicitly violating another one of the Hallowed Hallmarks of Ashkenazic Cured Deli Meats." Yes, but not the dietary laws, since mayonnaise has no dairy in it, IF it's properly made - Hellman's did after all originate in a NY deli. As the only Jews in my family are ancestral to the women I've married (Yes! All of them!) I can't speak of guilt or innocence, at least along those lines, but I would not object to a dab of mayonnaise on my otherwise pure pastrami sandwich. And yet although I've been known to put mayo on any sandwich that didn't feature peanut butter, I don't feel my usual NEED for it on Langer's pastrami. The meat itself is so succulent, so rich, so tender yet assertive, that anything but a stoutly garlicked homemade mayonnaise would just get lost in the shuffle. For once, mustard is enough.
re: Will Owen
>> Yes, but not the dietary laws, since mayonnaise has no dairy in it,
Ah, I am glad that you noticed how I crafted that sentence to evoke the spirit of My People's Dietary Customs without invoking any laws :)
Mr Taster
re: PommeDeGuerre
Agreed. But there are historic, cultural and religious reasons why food customs develop in a particular manner, whether it's pastrami or Irish soda bread or stinky tofu. My point was to emphasize the understanding of what makes Langer's pastrami itself so great. (You're there first and foremost for the pastrami, right? Not the swiss cheese, the thousand island dressing or the cole slaw? Because if you are there for those things, my point is not valid). If after trying the pastrami sandwich in its purest form you prefer to gild the lily, then that's certainly your perogative. I just think that Norm Langer is doing a disservice to pastrami newbies by pimping the tarted up #19 concoction to people with no real understanding of what makes his pastrami better than virtually anywhere else.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
"But there are historic, cultural and religious reasons that food customs developed in a certain way..."
All of which are deserving of less than a moments notice and consideration on the local board of a site devoted to delicious food and personal taste.
re: Servorg
What's irrelevant is that I horribly misspelled prerogative. Food and culture go hand in hand... "personal taste" is not an island. Unless you're developing completely new flavor compounds in a space lab somewhere, you have developed your personal tastes based on the options that have been presented to you, and those options have been determined entirely by the culture, history and religions of the people who developed them.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
No more irrelevant than letting 2000 year old religious dietary "laws" influence ones taste in food.
re: Servorg
Jesus likely followed those dietary laws, so I think they're a little older than 2000 years! But that, as you say, is irrelevant.
Like it or not, you can't separate the religion from the culture and the resulting food... they are inexorably intertwined. Whether you accept it not, that pastrami is the end result of a long storied history of Jewish (and non-Jewish) culture in which ancient dietary customs and laws contributed, in some part, to mold that very thing you enjoy. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy a Langer's pastrami sandwich slathered with Russian dressing, cream cheese, halvah, chocolate sauce or whatever you choose to schmear all over it. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't (I might have before, but not anymore).
What I am saying is that appreciation of sublime simplicity is a lost art and I encourage people to tread these waters gingerly before diving head first into a pool of Russian dressing, cheese and coleslaw. If nothing else, it will give newbies a frame of reference as to why the pastrami is so divine, other than "everyone on Yelp says so."
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
As also a Jew I agree with you Mr Taster. With pastrami the simpler the better. I like my cole slaw on the side as a side munch to contrast the saltiness of the pastrami. Also for the record Kosher Laws go back more like 3,000 years not 2,000.

re: Mr Taster
When one invokes superstition (and the contrived attempt to control others using mythology and words like "culture") to convince me that one taste is better than another, I recall why my food selection is informed by my own taste buds, and not the meaningless stories that surround and flow from religious dogma.
re: Mr Taster
We're, historically, always up for a good debate but I know many an Ashkenazic who would NEVER think of having a pastrami sandwich without coleslaw and russian dressing...forget the cheese.
Me included.0
re: Briggs
For what it's worth, my dad and I were there for lunch this past Saturday a little before noon and we got a seat right away. When we left about 40 minutes later there were only two parties waiting but room at the counter and some tables were being cleared.
Bread, meat and some mustard is all I need on my sandwich. Well maybe a few bites of pickle and wash it down with some soda.
re: Briggs
*shrug* just a data point I was throwing out since you didn't specify day of the week. I almost can never make it over there during the weekday. So good to know if I am in the area during the week that the window you specified is bad.
Now that I think about it though, I must have gotten lucky a couple of months back. I was there on a weekday and walked in about 11:30 and got seated no problem at the counter. When I left at noon there were plenty of tables, counter seats and no lines.
re: Mr Taster
"Milchig on your fleishig? What's to stop the mayo and white bread from coming next?"
I agree! As far as I'm concerned Russian dressing IS mayonnaise!!

Mr Taster: Why is the #19 blasphemous? It's a Reuben?
I was in LA for the weekend but too busy to try Langers or The Hat ( I was in Altadena)
I am a NYC boy and a big fan of Katz's, 2nd Ave Deli and Sarge's in that order. Next time I am in LA I am taking a pastrami tour.0-
re: Motosport
I think it's because it has meat and dairy together, which I believe is against Jewish law/tradition. And I also think because some people believe a pure pastrami sandwich should just be pastrami on rye with a bit of mustard.
I think.

re: wienermobile
Which of course, is not a Reuben (corned beef); it's a Rachel:
re: maxzook
Which goes to show you that the #19 is blasphemous not only to pastrami, but to reubens as well :)
Mr Taster
0 -
re: Servorg
I stand corrected. Many times I put just a bit of cole slaw and Russian dressing on my hot pastrami on Rye. Slathered in deli mustard of course.
I'll pass on the swiss cheese. 2nd Av Deli is Kosher thus no swiss cheese or egg cream. I just get a nice chocolate soda.0-
re: Motosport
I like mine the same way. At Junior's Deli on Westwood Blvd. in WLA I think they call that one the "Emmy" and it is delicious. If you ever make it out to the SFV to Brent's Deli they have a fantastic Reuben with their "black pastrami" and great rye bread.

re: Motosport
One other thought. In Santa Monica on Montana is a place called R+D Kitchen (which is one of the Hillstone Group's places who brought us Houston's and Bandera as well). They have sandwich called a "Reubenesque" which has some of the most tender and delicious corned beef I've ever had with cole slaw on a great thin corn rye. It's a great sandwich.

re: Mr Taster
"What's to stop the mayo and white bread from coming next?"
My late friend Joe Hacker (may he rest in peace), as good a Jew as any and probably better than most, once surprised me -- you might say shocked me -- by putting mayo and sliced tomatoes on a pastrami sandwich he made. But in the pilpul following the shock, he explained it this way: "Look," he said, "you love a nice BLT, right?" No question, of course, who doesn't? "And a BLT is made with smoked meat, with mayo and sliced tomato, right?" Who could disagree? "And so," he concluded, "What could be bad about mayo and sliced tomatoes with another kind of smoked meat?" And you know what? He was absolutely right. (He drew the line at Wonder Bread, through -- he made his PLT with mayo on a good sourdough, the way God commanded on Mt. Sinai.)
This is not to say that in Joe's memory I ALWAYS eat my pastrami with mayo and sliced tomatoes -- but I do sometimes, without shame and without worrying about the traditions of my people. Joe WAS my people.
Which brings us back to Langer's, where I would never order pastrami with mayo or sliced tomatoes. Like many here I go the pure route: pastrami. rye. Gulden's. BUT! BUT! I order slaw with it, and a little bowl of the Russian dressing on the side, and sometimes I'll put a little slaw on a bite, and sometimes I'll dip a bite into the Russian, and sometimes I'll take a bite pure, and sometimes I'll mix 'n' match. Trust me: Joe approves.

City's Lescott bid rejected
17 Jul 2009 - 16:08:14
Everton have rejected a £15million offer from Manchester City for England international defender Joleon Lescott.
City have been linked with the former Wolves star for much of the summer but Everton are determined to hang on to their star players.
A brief statement on the club's official website from chief executive Robert Elstone read: "As a club, we have publicly stated - as recently as Wednesday night - that we do not intend selling any players.
"David Moyes' primary focus is on building a squad so that we can continue to compete effectively in what is the most competitive League in world football."
Chairman Bill Kenwright had earlier in the week said: "You heard what he (David Moyes) said and he said it right at the start of the summer and I think all of this speculation doesn't do anyone any favours.
"David Moyes, and only David Moyes I promise you, will make the decisions on the playing staff at this football club. He said - and he means it - nobody is for sale."
The 26-year-old has scored 17 goals in 142 first-team appearances for the Toffees since moving to Goodison Park three years ago.

AXS easily was the worst goddamn system ever. Getting my Coachella tickets have even been easier. Presale for LA I got in waiting room at 9:30, didn't get a chance to buy until 10:25, and by then everything was gone. On regular onsale, I got into waiting room at 11:30, didn't get in until 12:10, and by then literally everything was gone. I didn't want to but I panicked and I ended up buying VIP 3 tickets in section 118. Im in AZ, and now Im kind of regretting it.
So if anyone is looking for 2 tickets to the Saturday LA show get at me.

Pepe, thank you for your reply!
I had actually recorded on DVR an episode of the television show "This Old House" from early 2013, where they were either showing or talking about whole house surge protectors. Unfortunately, that episode was deleted from the DVR by one of my children and I haven't had time to search past episodes of the show online. If I recall the episode I saw earlier this year never mentioned a specific brand or brands they recommended.
I sincerely appreciate your reply and will definitely read the full article you posted. Once again thank you for your help.

POSTED: Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - 10:03pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 24, 2014 - 9:16am
(KETK) - Tyler Tx — Many people are forced to give up their athletic passions once they finish high school or college, but for one local insurance salesman, jumping hurdles, such as age, is all part of the game.
Robert Hahn has been selling insurance for 40 years, but the 62-year old has never stopped competing in track and field, racing in the hurdles.
Hahn considers himself a man of simple interests.
"I don't hunt, fish, or play golf, just insurance and track. I'm only two dimensional," said Hahn.
The former of those interests pays the bills, but the latter is in many ways just as important.
"I don't exactly eat right or diet right but it keeps me in shape. My father passed away when he was 64 years old so I thought I better stay in shape or do something that's when i found out about this Master Track and Field."
An organization designed for track and field athletes 40 years and older.
"I kind of have to scrape for everything I can. During the season I lift weights two days a week and run two days a week."
Hahn started running in elementary school, but he didn't start jumping hurdles, until he got to Tyler Lee.

Air Canada Centre
Attendance: 14,726
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Leandro Barbosa went 12-of-21 from the field en route to a season-high 29 points, as the Toronto Raptors held off the Indiana Pacers, 108-98, at Air Canada Centre.
DeMar DeRozan added 16 points for the Raptors, who snapped a three-game skid. James Johnson and Jose Calderon each chipped in with 13 points for Toronto, which got 12 points and 13 boards from Ed Davis.
"I was really into the game," Barbosa said. "I was in the flow tonight."
Danny Granger finished with 25 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers, who have dropped six in a row. Tyler Hansbrough tallied 20 points and seven boards.
Ahead by two, 27-25, with under a minute to play in the first quarter, the Raptors got five consecutive points from Barbosa. Jeff Foster stopped the bleeding with a layup to make it a 32-27 game after 12 minutes.
Toronto started the second period on an 11-2 run to create some distance. Barbosa tallied nine points during the surge, including a three-pointer with 10 minutes left to make it 43-29.
The Raptors led by as many as 16 in the second and took a 62-48 margin into the locker room.
Indiana chipped away at its deficit and was down by just seven, 74-67, on Darren Collison's layup with 4:13 remaining in the third. Toronto, though, scored the next seven points to build an 81-67 margin.
Brandon Rush's trey cut the gap to 83-73 heading to the fourth.
Sonny Weems' three-pointer with 7:45 to play gave the Raptors a 97-82 lead. But the Pacers responded with a 12-3 burst to get within six, 100-94, on Josh McRoberts' layup with 4:15 remaining.
Toronto scored the next four points to build a 10-point cushion. Indiana never got closer than six the rest of the way.
"I can't figure (the slow starts) out, to be honest with you," Hansbrough said. "It's just something that we have to take upon ourselves, to come out and have better starts and be prepared better."

Céline Resort 2013
Phoebe Philo's Resort 2013 collection for Céline showcased what the house does best: laser-focused, impeccably tailored separates with undeniable graphic appeal. Crisp, wide-legged trousers were a focus this season: some met the ground with a band of color, while others had tuxedo stripes in bright hues. Philo also turned out a few great pieces of outerwear, such as a leopard coat with blue leather sleeves and shoulders and a burgundy coat with multiple horizontal zippers that allow the wearer to create different lengths. Juxtaposed against the defined edges and clean lines were silk scarves tied at the neck, and bias-cut crepe tops draped to create a languid gathering of fabric at the neck.

Orbital are an electronic duo from Sevenoaks, England, consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. Their career initially ran from 1989 until 2004, but in 2008 they announced that they would be reforming and headlining The Big Chill,[1] in addition to a number of other live shows in 2009. The band's name was taken from Greater London's orbital motorway, the M25, which was central to the early rave scene and party network in the South East during the early days of acid house. One of the biggest names in British electronica during the 1990s, Orbital were both critically and commercially successful, and known particularly for their element of live improvisation during shows, a rarity within techno acts. They were initially influenced by early electro and punk rock. Wikipedia 2009
Orbital reunite with Novation
A fantastic gig at The Big Chill saw the pioneering electronic duo back together, with Novation controllers on hand to make sure the return ran smoothly…
Over the last 20 years Orbital have made a huge impact on Dance music around the world. Brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll's blend of beats and melodies has won them thousands of fans and the duo's live performances have become legendary. After taking a few years off the brothers recently reunited and headlined The Big Chill festival with a blistering performance. They have now totally reconfigured their on-stage set-up, with Novation controllers, Jazzmutant Lemurs and Ableton Live helping them twist and turn their way through their set.
"The Big Chill gig was brilliant," says Paul Hartnoll. "It was the gig that got us back together and it didn't disappoint – well worth it. I think I'm still getting over the hangover from afterwards now!"
"I spent months programming so we can have a real open-ended experience on stage," reveals Paul. "I love jamming with the arrangements and feeding off the crowd. The set tends to have a Chinese whisper effect and develops over time as we get more confident or bored with what we do – we change it and try things out to see where it will go. Hopefully each gig is tailored to the crowd and the mood of the night fits perfectly into place – that's the idea anyway!"
At the heart of the on-stage set-up are a couple of Novation SL MkII controllers which are the latest in a long line of Novation gear the duo have used…
"We liked the look and layout of the SLs which is so important live," says Paul. "And we have always used Novation gear on the road: from the original BassStation to the DrumStation – still our back up in-case the TR-909 or 808 go down – to the SuperNova which was one of our main live synths for many years."
"We use the SL as the main hardware controller," Paul continues. "We use the Jazzmutant Lemur to launch clips in Ableton Live but much prefer the hardware and feel of the SL MkII for flying in real time samples and filter manipulation. I have keys that turn on extreme effect settings in things like Live's Beat Repeat next to keys for filters on/offs with the cut-off and resonance just above for quick access. You can't beat the feel of the SL MkII for filter sweeps and effects manipulation. I love the modulation joystick which I use with the spring off for controlling the sample start on triggered vocal samples, and another one of the great things the SL has is a dedicated pair of up/down buttons for tempo."
"I just think the SL goes a bit deeper than some other controllers," Paul concludes. "I like its apparent simplicity with hidden depths if you need them. They are the solid part of the live control that you can't get from a touch-screen."
Finally it seems The Big Chill was just the start of a busy summer… "We have a small tour of the UK planned and a few more festivals over summer," says Paul. "While on the road I'm also working on an album with Lianne Hall who sung on my solo album The Ideal Condition."

hi guys both rear brake calipers have seized, will a good clean fix the problem or will it just as easy to replace them .
May 19, 2012, 9:00 pm
A clean on its own wont do you will need to strip them down and replace the seals
May 19, 2012, 9:15 pm
sometimes pushing them out and winding them back in a few times helps. TBH i would rather just replace them - costs about £200 but its reassuring to have brakes you know work!
are you sure its the calipers and not the handbrake cables?
May 21, 2012, 10:49 pm
I just had to replace a rear caliper and cables
on somebody elses car
lol, ended up quite expensive,
somebody shoved new pads at some point on scored up and worn out disks.. so the pads and disks were no good on the front... then came to the back, and disks were just about at their wear limit specification.. but 1 side pad separated from its metal backplate and showed signs of cracks... so back disks and pads had to be done.
then I realised the handbrake part of the rear caliper was also siezed solid, wouldnt budge... Cable was not in great shape either.. probably cable started to stick first.. then the caliper siezed up through lack of use.
so new caliper, and 2 new brake cables.
Pagid cables costed £17.74 each I think, originally was just going to do one, but after I swapped one over, it was obvious the difference in length between new and old because of stretching.. the balance bar was not level, and thinking about it if one cable had gone other probably isnt far off and a £17 cable is cheaper than a reconditioned caliper... so ended up doing both.
Also flushed through all the old brake fluid with clean new stuff and now all is well
but it does seem to be a common problem.. cable starts sticking, and that leads to a siezed caliper
unfortunately in my case though all in all, has turned out very expensive.. but MOT wouldnt pass I dont think with 1 side having a non working handbrake.. lol handbrake was pulled up but the wheel still spun.
What had happened was, the handbrake was effectively originally stuck in the slightly on position, and it only freed itself up by wearing down the pad.. this created presumebly massive amounts of heat leading to the pad separating from its back plate and cracking.
back on topic though, as above only way to free up is to completely strip the unit down, and rebuilt.. but even then I gather the actual bit which has siezed is not really very servicable anyway.
So best off with reconditioned calipers.
to eliminate cables, remove the cable from the caliper then try to move the caliper then.. but chances are it was the cable that caused the caliper to sieze.. if indeed it is siezed.

By Daniel Rigney
"A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money."
Twentieth-century Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen is often quoted or misquoted as having made this quip about the size of the federal budget. The same could be said of massive concentrations of private wealth, or of mind-boggling sums of money in general, whether public or private.
Let's face it. A billion dollars isn't what it used to be. With inflation, and with burgeoning wealth at the high end of the social totem pole since the Reagan 80s, a billion dollars just doesn't mean what it once did, even though a billion dollars remains, as always, a thousandth of a trillion, and a million a thousandth of a billion. That would make a million a millionth of a trillion, I think.
I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it. A billion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon we're talking about real people overwhelmed by unimaginably large numbers.
I submit we need a new unit (or superunit) of world currency to help us comprehend megalarge financial numbers in the news. I propose that we name this new denomination after Bill Gates, marking the fact that, for good or ill, Gates was the first person in modern history to cross the 100-billion personal wealth line in millennial dollars, breaking the green tape in 1999.
We might call our new superunit the Billgate. If there's ever a 100-billion dollar bill, his picture will probably be on it.
Today the Gates fortune has fallen back from its peak to a little over a half-Billgate, according to Forbes. Carlos Slim of Mexico has surpassed Gates with a net worth of $69 billion. The Koch brothers, whose combined wealth is only $50 billion, are relatively less successful.
Mr. Gates' wealth, since his reversal of fortune after 1999, is now the mere equivalent of the combined wealth of 61,000 one-millionaires, enough millionaires to fill every seat in Yankee Stadium if we put an extra 10,000 folding chairs on the field.
The Kochs, meanwhile, seem to have improved their financial position in recent years -- in part, perhaps, through their increasing citizen participation in our democratic political system.
But we're not here to covet or criticize. We're here to understand more clearly the vastness of public and private wealth with the help of the Billgate unit, a measure of currency that's a hundred times bigger than a billion but only a tenth the size of a trillion. We need an image that helps us think about vast sums of money on a more human scale, giving us a finer sense of proportion and perspective.
Hence the Billgate, convenient shorthand for one hundred billion dollars, or $100,000,000,000, or a tenth of a trillion.
To illustrate: I recently learned that Greek voters have elected a government that will accept a bailout in the equivalent of $300 billion from German bankers. That would be just 3 Billgates. Doesn't sound like so much to me. Just three Bills? What's all the fuss?
To illustrate further, if the total GDP in the United States is ~$15 trillion, that's $150 Billgates. Smaller number, easier to grasp and keep in mind. Think of this year's US GDP as a small auditorium with a Gates in every home theater seat.
One last example. According to OMB figures, the U.S. federal deficit last year, following years of Bush tax cuts and the most severe recession since the Great Depression, was about $1.4 trillion, or 14 Billgates. Compare this with the Clinton era of the late 1990's, when tax rates were higher and a prosperous economy generated healthy federal tax revenues. In Clinton's last years there were no deficits at all. In fact there was a federal surplus, though not a mind-boggling one.
By converting billions and trillions into Billgates, our ordinary minds can fit unimaginably large financial numbers into a more imaginable and human frame, giving us a better sense of proportion and perspective on everything from Greek debt to great wealth to GDP.
A Billgate here, a Billgate there, and pretty soon we're talking about real wealth.
P.S. I loved your "my real father" piece and wish I'd known him too.
How interesting that so many robber barons these days are beneficiaries of daddy's who set them up for life. That includes not only the Kochs and Romney, but the Sons (and daughters) of Sam Walton, Steve Forbes, Grover Norquist and Donald Trump, tho rumor has it Dandy Donald has pissed most of his fortune away on gold leaf, arm-pieces and hair-pieces.

The woman who claims to have had a full-blown relationship with Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom has opened up with a new bombshell interview claiming the NBA pro told her numerous times he loved her — and the two even talked about having a baby together
Jennifer Richardson, who began the torrid love affair with Lamar in January 2012, told Star magazine that she traveled with him to a lot of his road games and they would often sleep together right before he would fly home to his wife, Khloe.
"He had sex with me on Christmas Eve, before he flew back to L.A. to spend Christmas with Khloe. It was tough when he had to leave. He was really sad," Jennifer said.
"Lamar gave me a kiss and told me he loved me before we parted ways. He told me on many occasions that he loved me. And I honestly felt the same way."

In fact, Jennifer claims Lamar was so in love with her that he discussed starting a family together.
"Lamar talked a lot about having a baby with me," she told Star.
"It was something that he badly wanted, and I wanted it too, because I loved him so much. I don't know what would have happened had I gotten pregnant."
In February the nature of their relationship began to eat at Jennifer, who says Lamar laughed it off, again bringing up the idea of getting her pregnant.
PHOTOS: They Really Did Say It! 50 Outrageous Kardashian Quotes
"I became a little upset and told Lamar that the relationship was becoming extremely hard on me, because we were growing so close," Jennifer explained of the last time she stayed with him at the Ritz-Carlton.
"A couple hours later, when we were lying in bed, Lamar rolled over and said, 'If you think it's hard now, wait until you get pregnant.' I didn't think too much about his comment then, but the next morning it really affected me.
"In March I ended our relationship and told him not to contact me anymore. I couldn't continue to be a secret any longer."
Jennifer was prompted to tell her side of the affair after photos of Lamar emerged last week going crazy on photographers who asked him about the cheating — because the location of Lamar's bizarre meltdown was only one block from her former home!
PHOTOS: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom's Embattled Marriage Through The Years
"Seeing that really freaked me out; I became concerned as to why he was there," Jennifer said.
"And then, when he told the photographers he'd never met me and denied our affair, I immediately lost it."
For the full interview with Lamar's mistress, pick up the latest issue of Star magazine on newsstands Thursday.

I was wondering what would be the easiest way to make a health bar move
The Shootorials cover this.
Or this
The shootorials are in as2 and the other one is confusing.
Step 1: Draw a box, typically black, to be the background
Step 1a: Draw a border around the black box.
Step 2: Draw another box directly on top of the black box, typically red, to represent the player's health
Step 3: Set the scaleX of the red box to player.currentHealth / player.maxHealth every time the player's health is increased or decreased.
Don't forget to make the bar movieclip's registration point on the left side if you want the bar to scale to the left when the player loses health.
Thank you I think I get the general jist of how to do it.

You need to remember this is someone who doesn't even know how to code a health bar- this may not be trivial to him/her.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jpj2 from Modern and creates a great ambiance Perfect for the modern, industrial feel I wanted for my apartment. It creates a great atmosphere when lit. It's such a strong piece that makes such a strong statement. The only down side is I run out of candles quickly if I want to fill up the numerous tealight spots. Make sure you secure it well to the wall as it's very heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauritta from Elegant and interesting piece We bought this piece a fewmonths ago and just love the way it looks in our living room. It fills up the wall but without giving the room a heavy feel. It is an interesting design and could add decor to any room. I agree with previous reviewers that the holes make it tricky to install due to the hole placing. That said it does comes as two separate pieces making it a little more doable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jnstolle from An interesting and elegant piece We just put this on the wall yesterday, and we are happy with the way it looks. It's large, but not obtrusive. Mounting was easy, although the placing of the holes made it awkward to put in screws.My largest complaint is that one of the glass cylinders was broken when we opened the package. We had the item shipped to the store for pickup, so there's really no excuse. I haven't been able to find any replacements on C&B, so it's pretty frustrating. Fortunately only one was broken, so it's not overly noticeable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristin11 from Great piece! I was looking for a simple but interesting piece for our dining room wall and this looks great. I think it's a nice balance of looking elegant but not feminine, something both my husband and I both like. It was a little annoying to mount, as the holes for the screws are placed in difficult locations. I understand the reasoning for that from a design aspect but it made it difficult to hang properly. So far though it has stayed up. Overall, I am happy I purchased it.

The 4R just gets better. This is my 4th since the primitive days of 1986. At 6ft 1" there's much more legroom and elbow room. What a machine!!!!!!!!!

2005 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I am surprised at the standard features and the attention to details like the rear sliding glass, 17" wheels, cup holders everywhere, the auto-lock feature on the hatch (no need to slam closed), the auto ignition (a quick turn of the key starts the car), fog lights, the hidden glove box inside the glove box, electronics on the dash, stereo controls on the steering wheel, sensors on the wheels (indicates any changes with tire inflation), very, very low wind noise, roof rack and running boards, smooth, appropriately powered, gas shocks to open both the hood and the hatch (effortless to open). Additionally, all the fluids, oil and air filters are really easy to get to under the hood.

2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Our other 4Runner is a '98, which has had only one problem in 6 years! It rides rough, but is great overall. When we test drove the 05', there was no comparison at all. It is super smooth on the road, absolutely no body sway, and has allot more pickup, with a few more mpg! Anyone considering a mid-size SUV should test drive one before making a decision, it's worth the time. Also, you get quite a bit more for your money now than in 09. Traction control, Vehicle stability control, both standard on all 4Runners.

Just took delivery and I love it. I
went and drove the new Grand Cherokee
first and this truck blows it away.
Quiet ride, plenty of style, and great
service at the dealership. This is my
first 4Runner and I leased it. The deal
on the lease also crushed the Jeep by
far. I'm looking forward to the next 3
years and if it's like the first few
days I'll be driving an '08 when this
lease is up. Drive this before you buy
any other SUV. Great value.

Excellent in snow and ice, better fuel
economy than I expected (17-18 mpg)
Solid feel on highway at speed, very
quiet inside cabin. Good layout for
driver. Rear seats fold very nicely for
added cargo room. Tire pressure warning

it glows when outside temp drops into

Toyota really put the things in this
vehicle that customers want from
cupholders to performance. Comfort and
convenience is a main concern for me
and Toyota aced the test. 4Runners also
have good gas mileage which for the
vehicle I don't think anything
compares plus their reputation for
quality durability and reliability is
awesome so pay more for the peace of
mind which is what I will always do.

Riding through the forest hard is the rider---Elven Bard, riding through with trusty steed--- feels the city in it's need. Riding hard and riding lone, no one tracks him where he goes. Bursting through the forest trees--- It is this call that he heeds. Down along the battle line is a horn that is raised again. Moving to their new positions, make their way with true precision. Then at last the rider comes, summoned to the battle front. Evil crawls out amongst the land. The city makes its greatest stand. Riding now across the lines, he waits for them to give the sign. Helmet glows with Elven fans. Now its time to free the land.

Cloud computing tips from NASA's Chris Kemp
NASAâ"s Nebula Cloud Computing Platform has gotten a lot of attention from agencies looking to move into the cloud. Chris Kemp, the Chief Technology Officer for IT at NASA, spoke with Federal News Radio about his agencyâ"s use of the cloud and how that has morphed over the years. Initially, the Nebula cloud was developed [...]

NASA explores new uses for video teleconferencing
NASA is one of the federal pioneers of video teleconferencing systems (remember the first broadcasts from space?) so it's no surprise that this agency's program managers continue to rely on video conference technology to meet its daily demands for high-quality audio and visual communication among diverse public and private sector communities. "At NASA, teams at varied locations need a way to engage in timely, technical conversations and collaborate remotely to meet mission-critical goals," said NASA's Deputy Chief Information Officer Deborah Diaz. NASA -- both Headquarters and its major centers around the country -- uses video teleconferencing for everything from meetings, seminars, major international conferences and face-to-face meetings to quick conversations on pressing issues. The payoff is obvious: more cost-efficient and -effective operations, with savings on facilities as well as meeting planning and logistics. At an Open Government Summit hosted by NASA in the fall of 2010, nearly 60 percent of the participants used electronic tools to "virtually attend" the summit. Organizers faced twin challenges of being efficient but also inclusive, while juggling video streaming, cooperative note-taking, online teleconferencing and adapting conversational practices in the room, to bridge the gap between physical and virtual participants. What are they using? NASA Headquarters maintains video teleconferencing systems (ViTS) in multiple configurations, with equipment from vendors including Tandberg, Polycom and LifeSize. The typical ViTS stack includes the ViTS components themselves, additional recording units, PCs and in some cases SmartBoard capability. NASA is in the process of migrating all of its ViTS to have High Definition, digital sign control, and MP3 audio recording capabilities Latest capability improvements include Flash and Windows Media Video streaming via the Web. Users who have a small portable streaming system can view transmissions via computer from anywhere in the world. Some configurations offer MP3 recording capability that lets NASA burn CDs to distribute audio recordings; in others, NASA can use full audiovisual recording capability to capture entire events on Digital Video Disc (DVD) or Blu-Ray. NASA has begun implementing a Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) phone system, too. That will speed the delivery of IP-based desktop video conferencing as the agency phases out ISDN-based systems and will increase ViTS availability to NASA employees while reducing overall costs associated with equipment maintenance, operations, and logistics typical of larger ViTS facilities. "Technology enables and supports one to thousands of conversations," said NASA's Chief Technology Officer for IT, Chris Kemp. "We're finding that if we don't stand in the way of that conversation, incredible things can happen."

NASA Software Leads to Fuel Savings For Airlines
Software developed at NASA's Ames Research Center is enabling fuel savings for airlines while also increasing their planes' environmental efficiency.
The Ames Direct-To software is a product of NASA aeronautics research in air traffic management. It enables airlines to save fuel and reduce emissions by automatically identifying flight shortcuts that are wind-favorable and acceptable to air traffic controllers.
It's already been adopted by the Boeing Company for commercial use. Their offering a new air traffic efficiency service that uses the software.
Project directors say they've estimated a potential combined savings of about 900 flying minutes per day for all aircraft using the software. That means a potential savings of tens of thousands of flight minutes per year for a medium-sized airline.

Fireworks for the 4th of July
In our school, the kids are getting ready for Independence Day by making a few kid-friendly fireworks. Our Pre-K Summer Camp kids started by drawing the fireworks with a white crayon, then traced with glue and sprinkled with glitter.
Our younger 3 year old class dipped Koosh Balls in paint and printed fireworks. They added a little glitter to make it sparkle!
I'm heading to the beach soon where we'll see some fireworks of our own. Happy 4th of July!
6 comments:

OL Sims puts Tide on top after visit
By Greg Ostendorf
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A lot had changed since
Jordan Sims
(Homewood, Ala./Homewood) last visited the University of Alabama. The in-state offensive lineman has since received a scholarship offer, and the Crimson Tide hired Mario Cristobal to be the new offensive line coach.
"The visit went great," Sims said. "I really love it. I loved meeting Coach Cristobal. He's a really good guy. I didn't expect anything less of what I got today."
Jordan Sims named Alabama as his leader after visiting the Crimson Tide's first spring practice on Saturday.
It was the first day of spring practice for Alabama, and Sims got to see next season's team in action for the first time.
"I saw why they're so great on Saturdays," he said. "Practice was high-intensity, a lot of reps. For the short period of time that they practiced, they got a lot done. I watched
Cyrus Kouandjio
Anthony Steen
the most."
After practice, Sims met with head coach Nick Saban again, but more importantly he met Cristobal for the first time. The new Tide offensive line coach was hired last month. He came from Miami (Fla), where he had a brief stint as an assistant coach.
"It went great," Sims said. "I really like the kind of person he is. He's a fairly young guy, so it would be easy for the players to relate to him. I like the fact that he takes time out to get to know his players more, and his players get to know him. That's just big, having good chemistry with the coaches.
"He gave me some of his background, where he's from, the things they like to do at practice, and then he asked us what we thought about everything."
After the visit, Sims released his top five with Alabama on top, followed by Auburn, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Florida. He still has to visit the latter three schools, and he also wants to make a trip to Georgia either this spring or in the summer.
But it's a different feel when he visits Tuscaloosa.
"Besides athletics, they have a lot of success in the academic field," Sims said of Alabama. "It's something about it I can point out, but I feel different there than I do anywhere else. I don't know what is. I just feel comfortable there."
Sims plans to come back for the Tide's spring game on April 20.

While Reiss is still the master of the blog, Breer's TotT is the Must Read Blog Entry every week. Here's this week's . . . don't miss it : http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/patriots/?p=773
Excellent article. "The perfect example of how the Patriots adjust and adapt can come with the obvious ŌĆö in the multitude of formations theyŌĆÖve run this year ŌĆö or the more subtle. Coming out of college, Maroney was thought to be a good fit for a zone running system. And that generally hasnŌĆÖt been the PatriotsŌĆÖ way of playing offense, theyŌĆÖve been more of a power running team. But itŌĆÖs clear, again, that theyŌĆÖll always adapt to their personnel, rather than the other way around. You wonŌĆÖt see as much of the outside zone runs (or stretch plays) with Maroney, because the PatriotsŌĆÖ offensive line isnŌĆÖt built to do that consistently. But what was clear on Sunday was that when the rookie was in, the Patriots were dealing the Jags a heavy dose of inside zone runs, where the line influences the defense one way to create a backside cutback lane in the other direction. Though his touchdown came on what looked like a power off-tackle play, most of his other carries seemed to come on inside zone plays." Good coaching & game plan by the OC. And this... "The bunch formations, out of the spread, that the Patriots ran made it tough for Jacksonville to matchup and the receivers did a good job of clearing out coverage for an underneath target. The Jaguars linebackers simply couldnŌĆÖt break on the ball quick enough after recognizing where the receivers were going. So credit goes to Josh McDaniels, for creating those matchups with JacksonvilleŌĆÖs plodding ŌĆśbackers" It's nice to read observations and critiques on the coaching and techniques by someone who has an understanding of football.
Wow excellent article/blog. It's kind of scary to read such a good piece of work when you get used to most of the drivel that is churned out by the both the national and local media.
Nice to see Wright get more props. The depth he provides will be key in the playoffs. The D-line with Seymour, Warren, Green, Wilfork, Wright, with Hill and Smith as emergency options. Thomas is playing well, yes, but why is everyone so quick to put down Watson? I think we need to play all 3. Have one of them help Light block the Merriman's or Suggs' of the world, then roll off the block for a possible screen. Protecting Brady will be of utmost importance vs. SD and Baltimore.
Interesting take, perhaps that is why we keep trying those off tackle plays that often do not look successful.. but when they are..
I seriously doubt that this is a true circumstance because the a certain OC would be credited for making some good adjustments and play calling. We all know that just cannot be true.
Exellent article. Wright:rocker:Rodney:rocker: Matt And who is this Josh McDaniels that he says came up with a good game plan?:rofl:

Product Manager Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Microsoft in October 2014.
Had a on-campus interview after meeting at the career info session. In the e-mail, I was told not to specify my interest in any position yet during the first round interview. However, my first question is "Which role are you applying?". The whole process went bad since the guy seemed not very professional. He missed the original 9am appointment and I had to reschedule with the recruiter to 4pm the same day, which put me to the last one instead of the first one. He rushed me through the whole 30 mins and no matter what I say, he was just playing with his finger nails. Later on, I followed up with my recruiter and was told that I will get feedback with both positive or negative result. I never get it.

Interview DetailsI was contacted by a recruiter towards the end of their summer internship period. I was recommended for a full time position by a friend in that program. Describing my skills as broad and focused on logistics and teambuilding, I was told that I would be given a screening interview over the phone. I was told to fill out a questionnaire beforehand. About two weeks later, I was on the phone with a fellow working as a software engineer. I figured something was wrong as soon as he started asking me the same basic information as I had previously filled out on my questionnaire. Soon, it was a full software interview, including opening an online document so that he could see me code. Seeing as I was not marketing myself as a software engineer, and specifically had an interest in working with a hardware group, the questions caught me off guard and I was completely unprepared. The questions were all pretty straightforward coding questions that I could've gotten with my typical coding warm up.

Product Manager Interview
Interview DetailsHad an on-campus interview. The interviewer was a senior product manager. He was really friendly and easy to get along with. Shortly after, I was flown to Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, all expenses paid. They chose which group they thought would be the best fit for me. Unfortunately, I do not agree with their decision and I think it affected the outcome a lot. I had 6 interviews in one day. The first interviewer was grumpy, but everyone else was really welcoming and informative.
Interview Questions- I had a highly technical background so I was surprised when they placed me in a windows third party negotiating product manager role. They asked about negotiating techniques. I tried to answer as best I could, but I didn't have a solid foundation for this question. Answer Question

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Colorado congressman Scott Tipton plans to introduce a bill making Chimney Rock in southwest Colorado a national monument.
The Republican announced his plan Friday, saying the designation would increase awareness of the archaeological site west of Pagosa Springs and boost tourism. He says the area could still be used for livestock grazing and by Indian tribes. It's believed that members of the ancient Puebloan culture gathered at the site in the San Juan National Forest to observe rare lunar events at the large stone mound with spires.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has said the area's pueblos are the farthest northern points related to New Mexico's famed Chaco Canyon, a center of the Puebloan culture. Chimney Rock was designated an Archaeological Area and National Historic Site in 1970.
