Come enjoy our cottage by the sea! This darling home has been completely renovated back to its charming 1920's roots, but updated to include modern conveniences. From the hardwood floors, to the black and white checked tile baths, you will feel like you are stepping back in time while still enjoying a clean, newly furnished, charming Cape Cod/ Nantucket style retreat.
This is a wonderful place to entertain family and friends, enjoy downtime with kids or grandkids, or to curl up with a book in one of the many nooks and take advantage of some private time. We have three bedrooms (two rooms with a queen bed each, one room with both a full and a twin), three bathrooms. All of the bedrooms have a private shower (one with small bathtub).
With plenty of places to spread out (3 bedrooms, living room, dining room, breakfast room, den with television, patio), you can gather or relax as you wish.
Our private, sunny, spacious patio has two lounge chairs, a table and four chairs under a fresh market umbrella, and a propane grill. The private driveway provides up to three parking spots so you'll never have to worry about finding street parking.
We are located two doors down from the sandy beach and just three short blocks from the main street, Marine Avenue, where you will find restaurants, coffee and pastry stores, shopping boutiques and groceries. A short walk to the other side of the island puts you on the historic ferry running over to the Balboa Peninsula, where you will find more restaurants, the 'Fun Zone' of arcades and rides, the oceanfront and piers.
Balboa Island is an ideal location for vacationing or staying while on business. It is both conveniently located to the surrounding area and a world away from the ordinary. Once over the short bridge, you need never get in the car again. Restaurants and groceries are steps away and much of the charm comes from strolling along the bay front
sidewalk that runs along Balboa Island's perimeter, which is also ideally suited for those who like a more vigorous walk or jog.
Southern California offers many different activities and all are
within a day-trip's visit. Theme parks are plentiful (Disneyland,
Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain,
Lego Land and several water parks) as are many other wonderful
activities, including some of the best golf courses in Southern
California located only a short drive away. If you have exhausted
the many boutiques on Balboa Island, then Newport Center/Fashion
Island is a five minutes drive (stores, restaurants, movie theaters)
and South Coast Plaza just 15 minutes drive.
It is only 20 minutes to Disneyland, 45 minutes to Los Angeles, one
hour to San Diego and all of its attractions, including the zoo and
wild animal park, Sea World and access to Tijuana. Within walking
distance you can rent a boat, take a harbor tour, walk along the
surf, take the boat/flyer to Catalina Island for the day, scuba
dive, deep sea fish, surf, wind surf, bike along paths, grocery
shop, swim, kayak, pier fish, choose from a variety of restaurants,
snorkel, sail, Jet Ski, body surf and more.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Junior Post 8 wins opener in extras
Sunday, August 10, 2014
MANCHESTER — Even if manager Dave Rouleau wanted to take Evan Zuchowski off the mound in the eighth inning, he would have had to put up a fight.
"That was perfect," he said. Both teams were scoreless in the seventh, forcing the game into extras. Connolly, who went 2 for 4 with two runs batted in, drove in the game-winning run on the first pitch he saw with two outs. The pitch was a fastball that he smacked down the line into the opposite field. "All I was trying to do was put it in play," Connolly said. "When you put the ball in play, good things happen. … I was looking or a fastball and I got that pitch and I just poked it into right field." Connolly tried to reach second after the throw from right field to the plate was late. He found himself caught in a pickle between first and second and was called out for leaving the base path. Zuchowski threw 128 pitches and struck out seven batters. He gave up three runs in the first inning that put Post 8 down, 3-2. "We tried to support Evan all the way through," Connolly said. "There were some rough spots, but we played hard and good things happened."
Over the next seven innings, Zuchowski allowed only two runs to score.
Cy Carver paced the Dover batters with 3 for 3 hitting (two singles and a double), a walk, and one run scored. |

Wondering why Texas A&M's move to the SEC is being held up by, of all schools, Baylor? Curious about where Missouri stands on this issue? If Baylor sues the SEC, can it win?
Once again, you've got the questions and we've got the answers when it comes to conference realignment.
What's happening right now? Why is the SEC not technically inviting Texas A&M yet?
Currently, the SEC is waiting for each of the nine remaining Big 12 schools to waive their individual rights to pursue legal action against it. The SEC doesn't want to get in a protracted legal battle over its invitation to the Aggies.
Thus far, the loudest voice in the crowd and the leader of the movement to not waive legal rights has been Baylor.
Shouldn't this be between the Big 12 and the SEC?
The Big 12 conference stated Sept. 2 that it wouldn't pursue legal action against the SEC regarding the departure of Texas A&M, so Baylor decided to take its own stand.
What about other schools joining Baylor? Is Missouri one of them?
Rumors have flown that as many as seven of the other eight Big 12 schools are supporting Baylor, including Missouri. MU Chancellor Brady Deaton, who's also chairman of the Big 12 board of directors, declined to comment on the school's position Wednesday.
Iowa State spokesman John McCarroll told the Des Moines Register that his school hadn't waived its rights, and thus stood behind Baylor.
Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have waived their rights, according to an ESPN.com report.
Who would Baylor sue? Texas A&M or the SEC?
Baylor would sue the SEC.
What legal grounds does Baylor have?
The part of the law being dealt with here is called "tortious interference."
Translation, please?
"Tortious interference" arises when a party knowingly interferes with a contract or business relationship between two other parties. In this case, the question is: Did the SEC's actions reflect an intent to interfere with the contract between Texas A&M and the Big 12 and, by proxy, Baylor?
There are two types of tortious interference.
Tortious interference with contractual relations could become an issue if Texas A&M breached a previous contract it had with the Big 12 and its teams as a direct and sole result of the SEC's invitation, while tortious interference with business relations could arise if Baylor's athletics department was directly harmed by that same action.
What's Baylor's plan?
Baylor could potentially sue the SEC seeking financial damages and an injunction to block the Aggies from joining the SEC.
Could it work?
Maybe, but it's highly unlikely.
Darren Heitner, a Florida-based sports lawyer who runs the sportsagentblog.com and has experience in these types of cases, said tortious interference cases are very hard for a plaintiff to win. To win, Baylor would have to prove not only financial harm but also malicious intent on the part of whichever entity it chose to sue.
Neither of those is a slam dunk for Baylor. In fact, neither may be true at all.
Throughout this process Texas A&M and the SEC have been extremely careful to cover each other's legal bases. Take the proceedings of Aug. 14, when the SEC declined to invite Texas A&M. For a moment, we thought all of this might be over. The prevailing wisdom was that the SEC wanted to wait to lock in a 14th team to join along with Texas A&M. In retrospect, that was not the case. It was a legality issue.
If the SEC had invited Texas A&M while it was still a member of the Big 12, that could certainly be construed as malicious intent. After all, the SEC would be poaching a school that from 2003 to 2009 generated more revenue in the Big 12 than everyone except for Texas and Oklahoma. You don't need to be an economist to know that the loss of the Aggies hurts the Big 12's value.
So the SEC declined to give Texas A&M the invitation, instead waiting for it to declare that it was leaving the Big 12 completely on its own volition, and not because it was being lured by the SEC.
On Aug. 25, Texas A&M sent a letter stating its intentions to look elsewhere. This was, in essence, its "two weeks notice" to the Big 12.
In reality, it was more like six days notice, as on Aug. 31, Texas A&M sent a letter to commissioner Dan Beebe and the Big 12 officially stating it was leaving. Not once in either letter was the SEC mentioned. This gives the SEC plausible deniability against legal action stemming from the move.
Heitner said the SEC did an "exemplary job of making sure that Texas A&M made the first move," and that the league did "everything it could have done to defend this lawsuit."
But what about harm? Doesn't this move harm Baylor's football team?
On the surface it would certainly seem that way. But look deeper and you find that may not be the case.
Baylor obviously feels that, when this realignment business finally ends, it might find itself on the outside looking in when it comes to being in a BCS conference. If the Bears are relegated to also-ran status in a league like Conference USA, certainly their standing in the football community will be diminished, and with that comes the chance their revenue would diminish as well.
Having said that, Baylor's football team hasn't exactly been raking in cash in the Big 12. Based on data from the Office of Postsecondary Education from the 2003 to 2009 seasons (the latest available data), Baylor ranked dead last in the league in revenue each season and last in profit in all but 2009.
It's the only school in the conference that failed to turn a profit overall during that period.The Bears finished just barely in the red, losing $787,788 over the seven years.
Baylor has also spent the least amount of money on football in the league, at an average of $9,697,015 per year over that time period.
With all that in play, it could be tough for Baylor to prove that it would suffer significant financial harm from moving to a different conference. In fact, in a weaker league where the school could cut back on spending, it could be argued that Baylor would be better off financially.
The school could also try to make the case that a move to a non-BCS conference weakens its bowl prospects, but that also is debatable. Since the Big 12's creation in 1996, Baylor has been to one bowl, the 2010 Texas Bowl. Those aren't exactly chances that have a lot of room to weaken.
So Baylor has no chance if it were to file suit?
There's a lot we still don't know.
If Baylor were to come up with evidence that there was a back-room agreement between Texas A&M and the SEC and prove that in open court, that would be a good start. As of right now, despite the fact that everyone has known where Texas A&M had its eyes from the beginning, there's nothing to suggest any foul play on the part of the SEC.
As far as financial harm goes, the one argument Baylor President Kenneth Starr — who proved during the Bill Clinton era that he's not a guy you want to mess with — is that the program was on the major upswing coming out of 2009. That year, football generated revenues exceeding $14 million, more than twice as much as it did in 2003.
So if it most likely can't win, why is Baylor doing this?
Baylor is doing its best to keep the Big 12 together. The prevailing wisdom is that Baylor will hold on to its right to legal action until Oklahoma makes a decision on whether it's staying in the Big 12. If the Big 12 has Texas and Oklahoma, it could survive.
Meanwhile, Baylor and other schools can use this time to make contingency plans with other conferences if the Big 12 is to dissolve.
Oklahoma is expected to make its decision within the next two weeks. Until then, the soap opera will continue.
And what about Missouri?
MU finds itself in an interesting situation. If the Big 12 were to dissolve, the chances Missouri doesn't find a suitable home are next to none. It probably isn't worth it to MU to get in a long legal battle when, in the end, it will end up OK no matter what happens.
However, by supporting Baylor, MU might think it's increasing the chances of the Big 12 staying together, the stated goal of both Deaton and Missouri Athletics Director Mike Alden.
On the other hand, if the Big 12 ship is indeed about to sink, Deaton and Alden may want to keep SEC Commissioner Mike Slive on their good side.
But since Baylor's is the loudest voice, it has made itself the focus of the conversation and it will stay there until the situation changes.

ATLANTA - It was the end of another long practice day.
ATLANTA - Coach Paul Hewitt wouldn't hesitate to let freshman shooting guard Iman Shumpert run his offense again."I asked the guys at halftime, 'Who's out there playing with energy and awareness?' " Hewitt said. "They recognized it was Iman."
For four years, Darryl Richard has had a front-row seat to one of college football's most intense and intriguing rivalries. For each of those years, however, he has not liked what he has seen. "This year, we might want to try to go about doing things a little bit different - because if you keep doing the same thing, you get the same kind of results," said Richard, a fifth-year defensive tackle for Georgia Tech. "What do they say? The definition of insanity is trying to do the same thing and expecting different results? So we may try to change ...
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech has two important games on Saturday.
MACON - Paul Hewitt said he and his Georgia Tech players learned some important lessons in their overtime win at Mercer on Saturday.
ATLANTA - For now, all Georgia Tech can do is wait. Wait on this improbable bid to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, which now depends on others. Wait for a shot at rival Georgia, the team that's caused seven long years of misery for the Yellow Jackets.
ATLANTA - Look who's back in the rankings and trying to nail down a championship.
ATLANTA - Mfon Udofia, a two-time all-state selection from Miller Grove High in Stone Mountain, has signed with Georgia Tech.
ATLANTA - Look who's back in the rankings and trying to nail down a championship.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Only the most ardent Miami fan probably knows who Bobby Revilla is. He won't score a touchdown, do any coaching or make any tackles, but he's an especially popular and important member of the Hurricanes' staff this week.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Miami offensive lineman Reggie Youngblood knows time is running out to cross certain things off his to-do list before leaving the Hurricanes.
STORRS, Conn. - Top-ranked Connecticut outplayed Georgia Tech for about five minutes, and fortunately for the top-ranked Huskies, it was the final five.
ATLANTA - Seven wins in his first 10 games at Georgia Tech have not earned Paul Johnson a pass on some of the same questions about his offense he faced when he was hired from Navy in December. Georgia Tech ranks eighth in the nation and first in the Atlantic Coast Conference with its average of about 250 yards rushing per game. That's no surprise; his spread option was expected to produce big yards on the ground.
ATLANTA - Gani Lawal had career highs with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Moe Miller scored 17 pooints with 10 assists in Georgia Tech's 92-47 win over Winston-Salem State on Friday night. The Yellow Jackets (1-0) took a 78-37 lead on Zach Peacock's runner with 7:10 remaining.
ATLANTA - Paul Hewitt joked last month that an experienced point guard would mean "a little less graying" in his hair.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech star Marcus Georges-Hunt will miss the ACC tournament because of a broken foot.
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Aaliyah Whiteside scored 23, and Roddreka Rogers had a career-high 20 points and 14 rebounds to lead No. 11 seed Georgia Tech women to an 80-53 win over 14th-seeded Clemson in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament on Wednesday night.
ATHENS - No. 1 Kentucky overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half to keep its perfect season intact, beating Georgia 72-64 on Tuesday night.
ATLANTA - North Carolina needed a boost after failing to win consecutive games in a rough February.
CLEMSON, S.C. - Rod Hall wasn't going to let a bad play at the end of regulation spoil his Senior Day.
ATLANTA - Kaela Davis scored 24 points, Zaire O'Neil and Aaliyah Whiteside added 12 points apiece and Georgia Tech snapped a 37-game series losing streak to Duke, beating the No. 16 Blue Devils 71-62 on Thursday night.
ATLANTA - Terry Rozier scored 22 points and darted into the lane to hit the go-ahead basket with 20 seconds remaining, helping No. 17 Louisville rally from a 13-point deficit with under 10 minutes to go for a 52-51 victory over Georgia Tech on Monday night.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Amid all the tributes to Dean Smith since the coaching legend's death, North Carolina coach Roy Williams and his No. 15 Tar Heels saved possibly the most fitting one for Saturday.

Very good
Was very convient to everything.
the bed felt like you were on a water bed, lots of movement when the other person moved or turned over.
The room services was excellent as was the valet. The beds were extremely comfortable
Hi. Attended conference at Mandalay Bay and MGM. Found this location very convenient as it is connected to Mandalay bay and MGM is across the road therefore just need to follow Exculibat walkway to get across
Really enjoyed the shower !
There was no tub for hubby , no coffee pot in the room and no make up remover pads !
Constantly had solicitors trying to offer "deals" whenever walking through facility
I loved the atmosphere, the ambiance, the decor, and definitely the soft bed!!!
A hotel concierge was rude to my husband when checking out. He was explaining something to her about the room key and she snatched it with no eye contact and kept working on her computer screen. very rude and unprofessional.
The guy the guy that checked us in was so rude. If some of our friends aren't staying here we would just cancel our reservations and book a room in treasure island.
The ease of checking in
Woke up each morning with bites
The view from my room
There was nothing that I didn't like.Coming back to Las Vegas next month will be staying there.
Hard to find way around because of only one elevator you have to walk a long way to room then trying to find exit to front of building. Breakfast buffet was pricey and coupon was not usable
Actually a very nice hotel. Very clean and did not smell like smoke. Room was spacious and comfortable.
Had to pay a $22.40 resort fee for services we had no use for. Clerk stated they could not wave the fee. A rip-off for services not needed or wanted. Just another means of bilking the last dollar out of their guests.
Black Jack minimums are the lowest in Vegas.
The room was filthy. Not vacuumed, moldy bathroom, popcorn and nuts in one if the beds.
Scenery and bed
Shower drain was clogged and fan didn't work. We also booked a king bed but they said they ran out so we had to pay $35 extra a night for a king room
Lax club
Leak in room/ poor housekeeping/ 2am manager at Luxor was rude on 2.22.2015.
Hotel room was clean, jacuzzi suite was great, front desk was very helpful. Let us check in an hour early. Casino was small, but not bad.
Elevators are very slow to get to you. Rooms are outdated as far as decor. Sales people on the floor basically harassed us daily in order to try to sell us shows which was annoying.
The "Bodies" exhibit
When we arrived, we noticed a bowl with a cigarette butt placed outside our room. It remained there for both days of our stay. This upset my wife, and with daily cleaning of rooms, you'd think a staff member would remove it.
Mandalay Bay, Luxor & Excalibur are all hooked together from the inside so you don't have to walk the strip at night.
impressive building, imaginative decorations, quality shower, quality furnishings. lamps have sockets (for phone chargers, etc)
badly worn furniture, no coffee pot, no wifi in room
Design is nice , Buffet is Perfect , Lax Club is nice ,
Its not in the middle of the Strip but u can walk from Luxor to all other locations
The room was nice.
There was way to much pressure about time shares every time you turned around there was someone bugging you!
I liked the space however there was a lot wrong
Rooms felt virtually soundproof. Blizz offered great alternative breakfast options. Quick connect to Excalibur was very convenient in broadening our options.
Pillow was too poofy - strained my neck. Also found a bag of cocaine next to the sink in the men's bathroom next to the moving walkway leading to Excalibur. That was awkward with my 5-year old.

South African kids find their inner Donald Trump
Donald Trump would be so proud.
All across South Africa - in every elementary and middle school - kids are crafting business plans, doing market research, balancing budgets, and hawking everything from hot dogs at 50 cents a pop to car washes for $7 each.
In a dramatic bid to tackle this country's persistent unemployment rate of at least 35 percent, entrepreneurship has become a key part of the evolving postapartheid curriculum. Students can't count on getting good jobs when they graduate, so they're being taught to create their own work - and help forge a kind of Apprentice Nation.
It won't be easy. The latest edition of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor - a survey of 31 countries - ranked South Africa 22nd in entrepreneurial activity, down from 19th last year. Experts say it's partly due to the lingering effects of apartheid, as well as a cultural disinclination toward do-it-yourself capitalism.
Yet in a bustling classroom outside Johannesburg, 32 seventh-graders are hustling to find their inner Donalds. As part of a twice-weekly Economic and Management Sciences class, they're spending several weeks learning what it takes to start a hot dog stand. Today's lesson: the four means of production - resources, capital, labor, and entrepreneurs.
It's all preparation for the annual "Entrepreneurship Day" at Weltevreden Park Primary, a public school in an upper-middle-class neighborhood. Once a year, all sixth- and seventh-graders set up stalls on the athletic field.
They usually sell playful toys like shaving cream pies or "jelly syringes" (plastic sleeves filled with jam). But some kids are more ambitious. Last year one group offered $7 car washes - and then paid other kids to do the washing at $1.50 per car. They reaped more than $300 in profit without even getting wet.

Greece x Reader (lemon) 16+ only.
"I'm from a country of sex~"
Greece smirked and pushed you against the wall of the shower, water was running over the both of you as he pressed his warm lips to yours. His large hands ran up your sides and slowly made their way to your chest, squeezing your breasts lightly. "H-Heracles
" He loved how his name sounded coming from your lips. His mouth locked onto your sensitive bud, his tongue toying with it. His other hand paying attention to the other while he earned several moans from you.
His hand traveled down and rubbed along your nether regions and slid a finger inside. "W-what are you-" he kissed you and smiled. "Shhh, _____ let me make you feel good. I'll be gentle
" He slipped another finger inside, making you almost lose yourself in his skillful actions.
After he felt you had enough teasing he held you tightly and you wrapped your legs around him. "I want you to be a bad kitty." He whispered before entering you. You screamed out in pain. He kissed you gently, and whispered soothing words trying to make the pain go away. It worked and you nodded, telling him to move. He slowly started thrusting into you, grunting with each one. He hit your special spot and got a scream from you. "Heracles right there~!" He thrust into that spot several more times before the both of you reached orgasm.
The two of you panted softly and got out of the shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist as you put one around your body. He took another towel and dried your hair. "_____
I'm so in love with you." he whispered in your ear, leaving soft butterfly kisses on your neck.

It was decided there would be both last time I checked.
It was decided there would be both last time I checked.
Yeah. Theres the wolf side as well. When I meant or, I meant vamps and wolves both can't win. Only one side can win.
Until one has given everything, one has given nothing.
Georges Guynemer
Thanks again hanul~
Sirus, you were right,
But then make it things just interesting. Why?
12 votes, 8 from unroled.. so 4 are from outside sources. either good or bad.
If the good side thrust me they will let me know so I can exclude them.
It just make the group to sort out smaller..
Best worse case scenario is having to sort out 14 people!
3 vampires 3 wolves 8 unroled. Thats is infinetely better then 24...
"Chile is a thin and tall country"
Oh wow, being a sleeper would be kinda fun, wouldn't it, if you turned into a bad guy halfway through... eh, but then you could get killed. Not fun.
Anyway, Jakko, technically, you have an equal chance of being a bad guy in this round as anyone else does. Technically, you (or irecinius - who has ALSO been a bad guy multiple times, right?) could easily be a bad guy.
On the OTHER hand, Sirius has been kind of weird... although I've been absent, so I don't know. On the OTHER other hand, Sirius is always kind of weird.
Um, I'm just not going to vote yet.
I agree, which is why I told the seers NOT to trust anyone that didn't come up as a townie, until the sleepers surface(and then only if pinged, what? twice?). I happen to be the only one, I think, so far, that has said that.
To the best of my knowledge, I am a regular townie. At the same time, you cannot trust me, as I am not roled.
On a related note, Hanul, once the sleepers surface, they are full on wolves and vampires, they should not have partial immunity to pings. They should show up as wolves/vampires when pinged.
This sleeper thing will bug everyone for the rest of the game you know...
Because the seers will aways wonder.. did we get the shaft, did we fail in detecting that person... is s/he really a townie?
The sleeper thing is making me think TOO MUCH.. damn you Hanul!~
If I wasn't pinged on the first day, post who was and the result.
Ping me tonight, if it wasn't.. post a BB.
Coroner and Guardian contact me.
I hook everyone up.
I get lynched that day..
If the person pinged on the first day or second, turns out as a townie..
Make s/he the spoke person!
Really the chances of you picking one sleeper is like 1/10 (since I'll be dead, and not counting that I was one)
That is 10%!!! really, chances are so low..
There is also the option that every day you ping a new townie, make him the new spoke person, and lynch the old one..
Until there are no more unroled townies and sleepers,
And since all 6 roled and last unroled will know who each other are, you automaticaly know who the bad people are.
Work Using rambos votes to kill the vampires/wolves.
thus having majority of votes. win the game.. at cost of every non roled out there and eliminating sleeper possibility to bite back~
(And going to the systematicaly lynch that adonai commented, not that I wanted to do that way you know)
Its just everyone is paranoid because of it (sleepers)
Last edited by irecinius; 08-19-2007 at 07:03 PM.
"Chile is a thin and tall country"
However, irecinius, if you WEREN'T pinged, or the seers have no way of communicating that you're a bad guy, anyone who contacts you will die. Even if you can be lynched, you would have time to pass on the roles to any other bad guys, and the coroner and guardian are dead.
Also, what happens if the roled townies die, somehow? That's less than six people, easily.
Why are we still with this idea that I'm a sleeper !
Can't we be a little optimistic here??

Regal deploys technology system for blind, deaf
When Katherine Moore went earlier this year to see the movie "Brave" with her grandchildren, she wanted to know everything that was happening on the big screen.
"I wanted to be able to talk about it with them afterward," said Moore, who is blind. "I wanted to enjoy everything they were enjoying."
Moore did, with the help of new technology that is opening up access to the blind and hearing-impaired at select Regal Entertainment Group movie theaters.
Called the Sony Entertainment Access System, moviegoers can see captioned text on the lenses of specially designed glasses or can hear descriptive audio tracks through headphones or neck loops connected to a wireless receiver.
"There's no doubt, our goal as long as I can remember has been to make every movie, every show time accessible and to do it in a format that would be the most user-friendly. I believe we have finally reached that stage," said Randy Smith, Regal Entertainment senior vice president, chief administrative officer and counsel.
The system is available in 200 theaters nationwide, including Regal Riviera Stadium 8 and Pinnacle Stadium 18 & Imax in Turkey Creek. By the end of the first quarter of 2013, it will have been rolled out across the country.
It's something Smith, whose son is deaf, has been working toward for the past 14 years.
"I work for a great company, and they understood the need. Regal is a very philanthropic company and this is along those same lines. This is not a cheap ticket for us," he said, noting the first year's investment is more than $12 million. "It does make a difference. It's a great public service, and it's one we were happy to do."
Over the years, Regal has provided open captioning — where words are displayed on the screen for all viewers to see — during scheduled show times, but content was limited.
Regal's efforts gained traction with the entrance of digital movie projectors. Regal partnered with Sony to design the technology, which is exclusive to Regal. Meanwhile, more studios began producing more movies with captioning content and descriptive audio.
Smith acknowledged it's not perfect, but added, "they literally do what we want. They're lightweight, and they have a lot of adjustments."
At under 3 ounces, users can adjust how big the font is and where the font sits as well as the nose mount. They can be worn over eye glasses and are available for both 2D and 3D movies. More importantly, Smith said the films are available every show time, every day, including opening day.
"They're not doing it because they have to but because they want to," said Moore, an independent living specialist with the Disability Resource Center who presented Regal with an ADA spirit award in July. "They have gone above and beyond making your visit and participation at the movies an excellent experience."
Said Smith, "It's heartwarming and it's wonderful that we've been able to do it. And now we're just trying to make certain the word is out there."

So the Browns had 1st down at the 2 min warning. I'm wondering why they tried to pass it 3 times ( for 3 incompletions )? Instead, since buffalo had only 1 time out left, i'd try to run it closer for a better field goal position and run the clock down. Now, the bills have time to make a comeback. Am I not understanding something with the playcalls? I just feel that the Crenel is making terrible decisions.
The Bills are ******* idiots. That was not a short fg, they should have at least tried to gain some more yards.
Jauron is horrible... How are you going to go super conservative and run 3 times up the gut to settle for a 47 yard field goal into the wind?!? LOL!!! I love the Bills... lol
After watching that game, I am just very happy to be a patriot fan. Those teams are aweful, and poorly coached.
as i said in the other thread, i was happy the bills lost but when ESPN had to bring up the wide right just before the kick, if i we re a bills fan i would be pissed.like they always used to bring up bucky dent,buckner for ages
Play calling for a lot of teams this year has been horrible. The eagles should have beaten the giants a few weeks back, and the skinks should have beaten the cowboys last night. All those games would have been changed if they called a few plays different.
Two horribly coached teams the Bills and Browns are. Neither franchise will win with these clowns at the helm. But I'd love to have the Bills ST's coach walking the Pats sidelines.
No doubt. I also didn't mean to pick on Pees, the fact that Saban wanted him as his DC in Miami but Belichick blocked him has to say something. Still, we can't argue with what Romeo was able to do for us. I think that after he's done in Cleveland (probably after this year) he'll just live on the Browns' money, he is in his 60s.
doubt will happen. if anything , he may end up with the jets - he is lot more closer to mangini than BB.

Nikki Sixx Says 'New Blood' in Rock Proves Gene Simmons Wrong
Gene Simmons may think rock is dead, but his former touring mate Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue begs to differ.
Gene Simmons may think rock is dead, but his former touring mate Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue begs to differ.
Joe Perry can empathize with Gene Simmons about the problems facing rock music right now.
Because nothing can happen in this country without someone asking Gene Simmons what he thinks about it, now we have the Kiss co-founder's thoughts on the aftermath of Ray Rice's vicious physical attack on his then-fiancee in a casino elevator earlier this year.
The latest rock legend to respond is Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, who respectfully offered his own retort to Simmons' claims.
"Rock is finally dead."
Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx has called to an end to the "anti-Gene Simmons bashathon" and also offered up more talk on depression, suicide and treatment.
As the storm surrounding Gene Simmons' recent controversial comments about suicide grows to include radio station boycotts of his band's music, the Kiss has star issued a new statement declaring that he "deeply" supports those who suffer from depression.
Nikki Sixx has taken Gene Simmons to task after the Kiss star implied that those with depression should just kill themselves.
Ace Frehley recently spoke about some of the guests he'd like to get for his next covers disc, and he's considering reaching out to Gene Simmons.
Ever since the whole NFL controversy surrounding the Washington Redskins' nickname started, you've probably been saying to yourself, "Man, I wish that Gene Simmons from Kiss would check in and let me know what he thinks!"
Well good news! Simmons was a guest on Fox News' "Outnumbered" on Thursday and did just that!
KISS icons Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are part owners of the L.A. Kiss arena football team, and a new reality show '4th and Loud' will chronicle the team's inaugural season.
Gene Simmons doesn't agree with the NBA fining and then banning Donald Sterling for life after a series of racially insensitive comments were leaked to the world.

Burton and South Derbyshire top GP surgeries uncovered
Posted: August 05, 2014
|THE best and worst aspects of GP surgeries in Burton and South Derbyshire have been uncovered in a new report.
Patients across the country were asked to rate their local GP surgery on everything from waiting times, receptionists, opening hours, to being able to make an appointment.
According to results compiled from the GP Patient Survey King Street Surgery, in King Street, Burton, was one of the best ranked in the country coming in at 118 out of 7,952 in England.
Everyone surveyed said receptionists were helpful and 93.1 per cent would recommend the surgery.
This comes after the surgery turned itself around from being one of the worst performing sites in the country to one of the best in the past six months.
In South Derbyshire, Overseal Surgery, Hallcroft Avenue, Overseal, was ranked 757 out of 7,952 in England.
A total of 99 per cent said receptionists are helpful and 95.2 per cent had a good experience making an appointment
A total of 93 per cent rate the surgery as giving a good overall experience
The newly opened Gresleydale Healthcare Centre, in Church Gresley, was rated by 87.8 per cent of patients as giving a good overall experience
Peel Croft surgery, based in Lichfield Street, Burton, was ranked at 636
Staff at the surgery were praised for being 'helpful' and for proving a 'good overall experience'.
Gordon Street Surgery, in Gordon Street, Burton, came out as one of the lowest ranked in the country - coming in at 418 out of 7,952.
Swadlincote Surgery, in Darklands Road, Swadlincote, was ranked 4,616 out of 7,952 in England.

Question of the Week
browse by: questions
This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine: weeds growing in cracks in the sidewalk. How do you control them?
Weeds growing in hardscapes can be very difficult to deal with once they've gotten out of control. If they have, you should start by pulling out as much of the plant as you can. In very narrow spots, a dandelion weeder or a long-handled screwdriver makes it much easier.
Unfortunately, in most situations, you'll be left with some pretty pernicious roots, and you'll need to use an herbicide to finish off the job.
You may want to use vinegar instead of a chemical product, and vinegar does work, but only if used appropriately. First, kitchen vinegar does not quite do the job. You'll need the concentrated, laboratory-grade vinegar (10% or 20%) which you can find in most local nurseries.
But what most people don't realize about vinegar is that it only kills the top growth, not the root. So after you've pulled the weed, you'll need to wait until it regrows before you spray it with vinegar. If the weed has a large root system it may take several treatments, but just keep at it. Eventually the plant will use up all of the stored carbohydrates in its roots and won't grow back. You'll still need to dig out as much of the dead plant material from the crack as you can, since anything left behind will serve as a nice little base for a new weed to grow.
Which leads me back to my peeve. This whole situation can be avoided by simply making sure that dirt and organic debris, normally lawn clippings, don't build up in those cracks. After mowing, make sure to blow or sweep all of the stray lawn clippings out of those cracks. Weeds don't break through solid concrete from the ground below; they sprout from seeds that have landed on the miniscule amount of organic matter that has blown into that crack.
Obviously, if the hardscape is actually broken, plants can creep in from the exposed ground below, but I'm talking about naturally depressed areas, where blowing dirt lands and is not easily gotten out.
And this seems like the perfect opportunity to remind everyone: when blowing your lawn clippings off the driveway and sidewalk, don't blow them out into the street, blow them back onto your lawn. Not only will nutrients be added back to the soil as the clippings break down, you'll also keep organic matter out of our storm water system, where it does not belong.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The central dogma of molecular biology is an explanation of the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956[1] and re-stated in a Nature paper published in 1970:[2]
The central dogma has also been described as "DNA makes RNA and RNA makes protein,"[3] a positive statement which was originally termed the sequence hypothesis by Crick. However, this simplification does not make it clear that the central dogma as stated by Crick does not preclude the reverse flow of information from RNA to DNA, only ruling out the flow from protein to RNA or DNA.
Crick had misapplied the term "dogma" in error; his proposal had nothing to do with the lexicological meaning of "dogma". He subsequently documented this error in his autobiography.
The dogma is a framework for understanding the transfer of sequence information between sequential information-carrying biopolymers, in the most common or general case, in living organisms. There are 3 major classes of such biopolymers: DNA and RNA (both nucleic acids), and protein. There are 3×3 = 9 conceivable direct transfers of information that can occur between these. The dogma classes these into 3 groups of 3: 3 general transfers (believed to occur normally in most cells), 3 special transfers (known to occur, but only under specific conditions in case of some viruses or in a laboratory), and 3 unknown transfers (believed never to occur). The general transfers describe the normal flow of biological information: DNA can be copied to DNA (DNA replication), DNA information can be copied into mRNA (transcription), and proteins can be synthesized using the information in mRNA as a template (translation).[2]
The biopolymers that comprise DNA, RNA and (poly)peptides are linear polymers (i.e.: each monomer is connected to at most two other monomers). The sequence of their monomers effectively encodes information. The transfers of information described by the central dogma ideally are faithful, deterministic transfers, wherein one biopolymer's sequence is used as a template for the construction of another biopolymer with a sequence that is entirely dependent on the original biopolymer's sequence.
General | Special | Unknown |
DNA → DNA | RNA → DNA | protein → DNA |
DNA → RNA | RNA → RNA | protein → RNA |
RNA → protein | DNA → protein | protein → protein |
In the sense that DNA replication must occur if genetic material is to be provided for the progeny of any cell, whether somatic or reproductive, the copying from DNA to DNA arguably is the fundamental step in the central dogma. A complex group of proteins called the replisome performs the replication of the information from the parent strand to the complementary daughter strand.
The replisome comprises:
This process typically takes place during S phase of the cell cycle.
Transcription is the process by which the information contained in a section of DNA is replicated in the form of a newly assembled piece of messenger RNA (mRNA). Enzymes facilitating the process include RNA polymerase and transcription factors. In eukaryotic cells the primary transcript is (pre-mRNA). Pre-mRNA must be processed for translation to proceed. Processing includes the addition of a 5' cap and a poly-A tail to the pre-mRNA chain, followed by splicing. Alternative splicing occurs when appropriate, increasing the diversity of the proteins that any single mRNA can produce. The product of the entire transcription process that began with the production of the pre-mRNA chain, is a mature mRNA chain.
The mature mRNA finds its way to a ribosome, where it gets translated. In prokaryotic cells, which have no nuclear compartment, the processes of transcription and translation may be linked together without clear separation. In eukaryotic cells, the site of transcription (the cell nucleus) is usually separated from the site of translation (the cytoplasm), so the mRNA must be transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where it can be bound by ribosomes. The ribosome reads the mRNA triplet codons, usually beginning with an AUG (adenine−uracil−guanine), or initiator methionine codon downstream of the ribosome binding site. Complexes of initiation factors and elongation factors bring aminoacylated transfer RNAs (tRNAs) into the ribosome-mRNA complex, matching the codon in the mRNA to the anti-codon on the tRNA. Each tRNA bears the appropriate amino acid residue to add to the polypeptide chain being synthesised. As the amino acids get linked into the growing peptide chain, the chain begins folding into the correct conformation. Translation ends with a stop codon which may be a UAA, UGA, or UAG triplet.
The mRNA does not contain all the information for specifying the nature of the mature protein. The nascent polypeptide chain released from the ribosome commonly requires additional processing before the final product emerges. For one thing, the correct folding process is complex and vitally important. For most proteins it requires other chaperone proteins to control the form of the product. Some proteins then excise internal segments from their own peptide chains, splicing the free ends that border the gap; in such processes the inside "discarded" sections are called inteins. Other proteins must be split into multiple sections without splicing. Some polypeptide chains need to be cross-linked, and others must be attached to cofactors such as haem (heme) before they become functional.
Reverse transcription is the transfer of information from RNA to DNA (the reverse of normal transcription). This is known to occur in the case of retroviruses, such as HIV, as well as in eukaryotes, in the case of retrotransposons and telomere synthesis. It is the process by which genetic information from RNA gets transcribed into new DNA.
RNA replication is the copying of one RNA to another. Many viruses replicate this way. The enzymes that copy RNA to new RNA, called RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, are also found in many eukaryotes where they are involved in RNA silencing.[4]
RNA editing, in which an RNA sequence is altered by a complex of proteins and a "guide RNA", could also be seen as an RNA-to-RNA transfer.
Direct translation from DNA to protein has been demonstrated in a cell-free system (i.e. in a test tube), using extracts from E. coli that contained ribosomes, but not intact cells. These cell fragments could synthesize proteins from single-stranded DNA templates isolated from other organisms (e,g., mouse or toad), and neomycin was found to enhance this effect. However, it was unclear whether this mechanism of translation corresponded specifically to the genetic code.[5][6]
After protein amino acid sequences have been translated from nucleic acid chains, they can be edited by appropriate enzymes. Although this is a form of protein affecting protein sequence, not explicitly covered by the central dogma, there are not many clear examples where the associated concepts of the two fields have much to do with each other.
An intein is a "parasitic" segment of a protein that is able to excise itself from the chain of amino acids as they emerge from the ribosome and rejoin the remaining portions with a peptide bond in such a manner that the main protein "backbone" does not fall apart. This is a case of a protein changing its own primary sequence from the sequence originally encoded by the DNA of a gene. Additionally, most inteins contain a homing endonuclease or HEG domain which is capable of finding a copy of the parent gene that does not include the intein nucleotide sequence. On contact with the intein-free copy, the HEG domain initiates the DNA double-stranded break repair mechanism. This process causes the intein sequence to be copied from the original source gene to the intein-free gene. This is an example of protein directly editing DNA sequence, as well as increasing the sequence's heritable propagation.
Variation in methylation states of DNA can alter gene expression levels significantly. Methylation variation usually occurs through the action of DNA methylases. When the change is heritable, it is considered epigenetic. When the change in information status is not heritable, it would be a somatic epitype. The effective information content has been changed by means of the actions of a protein or proteins on DNA, but the primary DNA sequence is not altered.
Prions are proteins of particular amino acid sequences in particular conformations. They propagate themselves in host cells by making conformational changes in other molecules of protein with the same amino acid sequence, but with a different conformation that is functionally important to the cell. Once the cell protein has been re-conformed to the prion configuration it no longer functions in the way that the cell requires and in its turn it can infect cells and reconfigure more functional molecules of that sequence into the harmful form. In some types of prion in fungi this change is continuous and direct; the information flow is Protein → Protein.
This does represents a transfer of information, but the prion interactions leave the sequence of the protein unchanged.
James A. Shapiro argues that a superset of these examples should be classified as natural genetic engineering and are sufficient to falsify the central dogma. While Shapiro has received a respectful hearing for his view, his critics have not been convinced that his reading of the central dogma is in line with what Crick intended.[7] [8]
In his autobiography, What Mad Pursuit, Crick wrote about his choice of the word dogma and some of the problems it caused him:
"I called this idea the central dogma, for two reasons, I suspect. I had already used the obvious word hypothesis in the sequence hypothesis, and in addition I wanted to suggest that this new assumption was more central and more powerful. ... As it turned out, the use of the word dogma caused almost more trouble than it was worth. Many years later Jacques Monod pointed out to me that I did not appear to understand the correct use of the word dogma, which is a belief that cannot be doubted. I did apprehend this in a vague sort of way but since I thought that all religious beliefs were without foundation, I used the word the way I myself thought about it, not as most of the world does, and simply applied it to a grand hypothesis that, however plausible, had little direct experimental support."
Similarly, Horace Freeland Judson records in The Eighth Day of Creation:[9]
"My mind was, that a dogma was an idea for which there was no reasonable evidence. You see?!" And Crick gave a roar of delight. "I just didn't know what dogma meant. And I could just as well have called it the 'Central Hypothesis,' or — you know. Which is what I meant to say. Dogma was just a catch phrase."
It is becoming increasingly clear that in reality, the concept of the central dogma of molecular biology is not entirely accurate insofar as it puts emphasis on proteins as the mediator of biological function. We know that 80% of the human genome is transcribed even though only 1% codes for proteins.[10] While it is possible this may be simple transcriptional noise, it seems to be an unlikely waste of cellular energy resources, and considering the major role played by RNA in regulation of gene expression, it may well have a role.[10] Current research focuses on investigating the function of non-coding RNA, that is, RNA that does not follow the dogma trend and does not code for polypeptides.
Moreover, the precise meaning of "information" in this framework is often overlooked.
