Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito Jackson's reformation will mark their first full-scale tour in more than 20 years.
"That's what we gotta do - right after the tour, we're gonna go back into the studio and start recording some new music. I can't wait," Jackie Jackson told Billboard.com.
Jackie said the new project would stay true to the original sound of the group.

If you havent manually set your FPS with /maxfps command; then you are redlining your card without even knowing it. Apparently STO has a huge bug where it sets your GPU to try and attempt an infinite framerate which bottoms it out. Even if you arent running hot you are still doing damage since its redlined. To fix this serious problem log into the game and type /maxfps if it comes up 0.000000 then you have been running redline for days most likely. Just type /maxfps(space)# between 30-60 for fps. Then type just /maxfps to make sure it took.
The /showfps command may still show zero but thats bugged so dont pay attention to it. After you set your maxfps you should notice markably increased performance, less heat if you were running crazy hot like me, and the ability to set more stuff to max if you were unable to before.
LAST TIP VERY IMPORTANT. Dont forget that every time you log in you must set your fps again or it will go back to 0.00000.
This has helped 99% of the guild members who tried it and the other 1% did it anyway so they wouldnt keep redlining so I hope it helps yall. Have fun and see you....out there.
The game doesn't make your GPU run on "infinate" FPS, it means that the game will run at what ever your GPU hardware will allow. No limit on FPS is standard in any game
can you show me the trend were a devloper gave you this informations..??. becasu i dont think some one knows what there talkign bout calming this is a bug

Down South in Campania: A Cave Adventure
■ 24 October 2014 by James Martin
You ever take a boat ride through a cave? You can at the Pertosa Caves or the Grotte di Pertosa as the Italians call them. Here in the Salerno district of Campania a trip to the caves ("a work in progress for 35,000 years" says the lit) can be combined with a trip to the nearby Certosa di Padula, making it a day you'll never forget, especially if you happen to encounter a guy named Carmine—but more on that encounter later.
After you buy your tickets you walk up to the cave entrance. Way up. Then you enter the cave. It's not one of those deals where there are a few big rooms where you stand in the middle and gawk at the maze of stalactites and stalagmites, wet and glistening under carefully aimed spotlights. It's a long cave you walk and boat through. There's a lake inside. Your guide will load you in a boat. The boat has seats but they're always wet so nobody really sits in them. You could bring a small towel and outsmart the environment, of course, but nobody did.
Your guide will then launch you into the still waters, dragging the boat by means of a carefully strung wire above your head. It's anchored to the walls, strung not unlike the wires that power the electric buses of a city like San Francisco, except that the wires aren't electrified, or at least the guide didn't do that macabre dance you see people do when they grab a wet, live electric wire.
The way is lit by colored lights your modern camera won't take a liking to. No matter, the new lighting system, which is turned off when a group leaves the area, represents a savings of 80% in electrical power compared to a previous system which probably provided enough light for a decent photo.
The cave takes a good 2 hours to walk through. Time passes in a flash though. You'll be amazed and entranced—and cold if you didn't bring a jacket, because the temperature hovers around 60 degrees F and it's damp—very damp.
After you're done and get back to the parking lot, leave your car and continue walking down the street until you see the hand-painted sign for the Bar Ristorante Venoso. Have a meal. Learn what southern Italian cuisine is all about. Order the restaurant's special pasta with eggplant. It will tell you all you need to know about the flavor intensity of southern food. The pasta has been kicked up notches unknown. Don't worry about the bill. It won't be much. The pasta runs 5 euro. Have something grilled for a second plate.
Introducing Carmine from Naples
We ate right beside the table of this man, Carmine, and his wife:
Carmine, having noticed me taking pictures of our trout and rabbit, wanted to show off his lunch too. Except that he had eaten about half of it.
When I struggled to cut the excellent grilled rabbit with the butter knife I'd been given for the task, I happened to glance at Carmine and he, too, had picked up his lamb in his hands.
So, I took that as a cue and ate the rabbit clean off the bone with my hands.
Carmine loved it. "Aha! Yes, the knives are useless! He uses his hands! Bravo!"
He said this in a voice that could have woken the dead, or amused a packed opera house.
So we're swiping bits of wadded-up bread through the juices and excellent olive oil, a process the Italians call "fare la scarpetta" or "making the little shoe." Years ago you wouldn't do this, especially at a formal meal. Now it tells the waiter you really liked the food. Even sopping evolves.
So Carmine says, "In Naples, when we don't have bread…" and he makes a swipe with his index finger as if he's dragging it over a plate and pretends to lick it.
I like Carmine. Especially when they asked him if he wanted coffee. He bellowed, "I'm from Naples (where they are reported to have the very best coffee), I don't drink coffee anywhere else."
You gotta love Carmine. It's this insistence on not accepting crap food that keeps Italian food honest. There's not enough of it, methinks.

Ottana, Sardinia and the Surprising Church of San Nicola
■ 17 October 2014 by James Martin
So we're on the road to Gavoi in Sardinia for the Autunno in Barbagia festivities when the car screeches to a halt. I look over to Martha, thankfully in control of said car, who points up a hill to our right and says, "Do you want to see the church?"
I did. The church was of very dark Basalt. It stood at the crest of the hill ominously. A long staircase provided access.
We happened to be in the town of Ottana. The church of San Nicola we were now standing in front of was dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra and consecrated in 1160. Archaeologists sent in during the restoration of the church discovered an earlier church from the high medieval, possibly monastic, tangled in the foundations.
You'll notice something interesting on the facade if you click the picture above to see it bigger. It's got some ceramic plates stuck in it at the top. This practice is typical in Sardinia, as well as in northern Italy and Tuscany. You see, the church is built in the Pisan style. Pisa has 669 bacini on 26 buildings, a bacino being a basin or hollow circular vessel—the ceramics in a church facade which came from far and wide; some in Pisa had Egyptian origins.
Unfortunately the bacini embedded in San Nicola are replicas. But interesting none the less.
But the real treasure (for me) was still to be discovered. Inside the church was this:
It's something I've seen before. Hand carved. Hand painted. The pedals give it away. It is of course an organ. You have to open up the doors to see the pipes and keyboard, of course.
Which, of course, would be forbidden to heathens, pagans, and journalists.
And, yes, I spotted a note on the door clasp. I read it. It nearly threw me for a loop. Instead of forbidding my sausage fingers from prising the door open, the note merely asked me to please respect the object.
How absolutely civilized!
So I took great care at opening up the handmade organ. And here it is:
If you like these sorts of things, we discovered another fine example in Portugal, in the incredibly amazing town of Tentugal, a place which I must advise you to go. See: The Treasures of Tentugal
Ottana, it turns out, has one of the top carnival celebrations in Sardinia.
Have fun on your vacations, and please, you planners-the-the-nth-degree, leave time for discovery.

Cremona: Good Eats
■ 7 October 2014 by James Martin
Cremona is one of those cities in which everything is focused on a single square—and it's not the typical "Piazza Duomo" either. It's the Piazza Comune, with all the religious architecture on one side, so that the cathedral, baptistry, and Torrazzo (tower, the tallest in pre-modern Europe @ 112.7 meters, and you can climb it for some fantastic views) are all facing the administration center, the Comune. It's all about the contrast between gleaming white marble and the red bricks.
Then you turn around and see this:
In the daytime there's a Commune bar where you can sit and stare at the cathedral all day long if you wish. At night it closes. Unfortunately.
Osteria La Sosta
The street that continues to the left in the picture above is a street of political symbolism, violin makers, and restaurants. We ate in one that was fantastic, just down the street. It was called "La Sosta" and it delivered.
For starters there was the wordy "Tiepido di Lingua salmistrata e Testina di Vitello con Salsa verde e Olio del Garda," a warm plate of tongue and a bit of calf head with green sauce and lentils with olive oil. It was quite good but the snails! Oh, the snails! Not those French snails that have been cooked down to eraserness so that you have to douse them in all manner of butter, parseley and garlic to add forgiveness to the poor garden destroyer. No, they were succulent and tasty with just a little complimentary sauce.
I had to order the "Gnocchi Vecchia Cremona (antica ricetta del 600)" which came as three giant gnocchi stuffed with sausage and baked with Poppy seeds, Sesame and Parmesan. Don't think the dish comes from 600 Ad, that's 1600 AD in American. But still, old enough to be very traditional.
Martha's Bigoli with sardines and parmigiano reggiano bread crumbs was also tasty.
And the good news on the wine front is that you can get many wines by the half bottle.
For me, La Sosta gets five stars, and you're not far from the piazza where you can be immersed in the Medieval—during the day. At night you'll have to find an open bar/restaurant on the back side and be content with a view of the cathedral's big apse.

Do You Knead Bread?
■ 7 September 2014 by James Martin
Travel clogs your brain with all sorts of pernicious poppycock. You work it in there with all the truths and half truths you discover on your journey through life, and out comes a crusty deposit full of holes. Like bread.
On our last trip to Rome we stayed northwest of the Vatican, in the neighborhood called Aurelio. This happens to be the place where the current king of bread, a guy named Bonci, has a pizza joint. As a journalist, I had to try the pizza. After all, it was all the rage. The man was a saint, according to the lit. This fact, of course, made me want to ignore him. I am a contrarian. I immediately think of other things, hidden things, when confronted with anyone made godly by a ballooning cadre of sycophants. (After all, at the height of his power, Mussolini received about 1,500 letters a day from Italian men and women of all social classes praising his political prowess. Think on that!)
In any case, I also visited a bakery in Puglia, a region which I consider the best for bread. There I met Lorenzo Accarino in a store called Chichino Pane in Monte Sant'Angelo. He was throwing big, wobbly hunks of bread to be baked.
And he didn't knead it. Not a bit.
So, then I listened to a talk about bread at La bottega di Stigliano, a food cooperative in Siena province. The talk turned to modern folks inability to digest bread, and one of the threads being studied was the turn away from ancient methods to "quick rise" methods of making bread faster. We all took a swerve and started to make bread like factories, a quick rise, kneading to align the gluten in the flour, a short rise and then bang, into an oven.
So then I started hearing all the new talk of "no knead" bread—because that's the way Mr. Bonci does bread—creating a wet dough you can't even think of kneading.
Why don't you need to knead? Because a long rise, overnight or longer, aligns the gluten when the big holes expand with the slow rise. The bread works for you.
So what's the big deal, then, about health? Well, well-fermented, slow rise bread is very low in phytic acid.
Phytic acid not only grabs on to or chelates important minerals, but also inhibits enzymes that we need to digest our food, including pepsin,1 needed for the breakdown of proteins in the stomach, and amylase,2 needed for the breakdown of starch into sugar. Trypsin, needed for protein digestion in the small intestine, is also inhibited by phytates.
Through observation I have witnessed the powerful anti-nutritional effects of a diet high in phytate-rich grains on my family members, with many health problems as a result, including tooth decay, nutrient deficiencies, lack of appetite and digestive problems. ~ Living With Phytic Acid
To be fair, there are some who would argue that the benefits of Phytates outweigh the disadvantages. But still, I can create a free-form loaf of bread with a crunchy crust and those un-uniform holes that pane pugliese has with a minimum of effort while the rising dough does all the work. And the long fermentation makes it tastier.
So, when you slow travel, think of slow bread, too. Let's hope this swerve back to the past has legs.
And, um, thanks Mr. Bonci!
Sistine Sardines
■ 16 July 2014 by James Martin
Can a place ever be too popular? Let's take the Sistine Chapel. It's part of the Vatican, which is part of Vatican City. But we'll get to all that in a moment.
I've been to the Sistine Chapel when it was packed. It's likely that if you've visited the Vatican museums, so have you. I've also been there with but 11 people or so. That is unlikely to occur again, but perhaps you can get close.
But however many people you've rubbed bodies with in the Sistine Chapel, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.
You see, they've revved up the air conditioning. They've made it purr like a Formula One car, with just about as much horsepower—while hardly using any energy. So guess what? Now they can squish in three times the tourists! Yes, their breath will be eaten up by the machines and the frescoes will remain fresh and everyone will walk out genuinely moved by the experience.
So don't worry about not getting into the Sistine chapel on your vacation. Worry about claustrophobia, smashing the air out of your lungs, pickpockets, and the guy in the gaberdine with the baseball cap who just finds it a kick to yell "fire" in a room full of people.
Now, as a city, Vatican City is used to packing 'em in. If you look on a map that compares the number of tourists to locals around the world, Vatican City wins hands down. Tourists make up 650,655.54% of the population in a given year. Imagine. Yes, about 5 and a half million tourists visited in 2012. The population of Vatican City was 839.
But I have another map for you to look at. It's a heat map of Rome. It shows the number of pictures taken and uploaded to Panoramio. Vatican city is lit up like a firecracker on the fourth of July.
The map is interesting because you can use it to find places that you didn't know about where there are lots of pictures taken, like the interesting Ponte Nomentano. There's a couple of Sardinian restaurants close by. I might visit some day. Just look for the far-out light blips on the map and click them to get info.
Have a happy time in Rome. Here's a transportation map for you. Good luck. Perhaps you should consider the purchase of armor.

Map: Revealed: where tourists outnumber locals
Mapping the Tourists
■ 13 July 2014 by James Martin
I like maps. Slap me with a heritage pig chop if I'm wrong, but I think modern technology has made maps more useful and interesting. (It gives you a good feeling to think that modern thought and technology isn't all about crowd sourcing and driving down the incomes of trained and adept authors and artists.)
Take the map in the thumbnail. It's a map of where tourists went in Italy in 2012. What they've done is taken the number of tourists who went to each region and map that region to the size it would be if geographical size was proportional to the number of tourists. So Tuscany is huge. Lazio is big but I'm thinking it's only because throngs of people go to or land in Rome and then skedaddle, same with the enormous Veneto and Venice I suppose. And….the Abruzzo remains a dot the size of a pimple on a giraffe.
From this map you can discern where you should go if you fall into one of the two prevailing tourist categories. The trophy tourists who demand to see the "best" will want to go to the regions that are big, especially to those whose regions have been bloated by the algorithm the most, like Tuscany, so they can relate with pride that they've done the things the guidebooks and the crowd tell them to do. I don't mean to be totally negative about this; these are the places with the highest density of easily accessed things to do for tourists who don't know the Italian language. The folks who say, "I wanna get way off the beaten tourist track" can, and should, pick the miniscule regions. Those are the ones in odd colors you can barely see, like ticks on your arm after a hike in the woods. Take the Marche for instance. It's the pink tick.
It is in current vogue to label Le Marche as "the new Tuscany." Both the New York Times and Wall Street International have fallen over each other to put out the word. Thank God the mantle has been lifted from Puglia. Puglia, like Le Marche, has its own charms. They might not be the charms of Renaissance-rich Tuscany, but who cares? "The New Tuscany" is a label used by lazy writers. Ignore them. They make a one-week trek to a place, consult a few enthusiastic guides, and then that place becomes the cat's meow. Instantly.
That said, there is enough in the Metauro Valley to keep you busy for weeks. Real food. Cheese made by folks out in real barns. Stunning landscapes, unchanged since the times Piero della Francesca brought his easels and brushes into the countryside to paint them. It's home to waterfalls you can swim near and picnic by—bring a hearty bread with cheese made by a real cheesemaker. The Cascata de Sasso is one of Italy's ten largest waterfalls and you didn't have a clue, did you? (Ok, I didn't either and I've been to this area many times).
And this is just a third or less of Le Marche. Imagine. Not only can you get a taste of unspoiled Italy, you can expand the rich "pinkness" of the little region and pretty soon the trophy travelers can become interested in it. Perhaps if enough of you get entranced by the siren song of Le Marche, you can contribute to numbers that might sway the money-hungry powers that be to reconsider the paving of the balconies of Piero della Francesca —or making a hydroelectric plant at La Cascata del Sasso.
The Abruzzo isn't a bad place to spend a couple of weeks either. The Abruzzese need you, too. Tourists might stay in a castle and eat more than their share of food and thus leave some money in the territory so the people can finally recover from that big trembler from years ago. And you can visit Le Grotte di Stiffe. C'mon, you've always wanted to do that, didn't you?
Here's the Link to a very big map like the thumbnail above from the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera: L'Italia vista dagli stranieri
Oh Sarzana! The Acoustic Guitar Meeting
■ 1 June 2014 by James Martin
Sunday afternoon, a free day in the schedule of the Sarzana Acoustic Guitar Meeting, couldn't have been a better day to wander the towers and turrets of Sarzanello Castle, listening to Guitar and Mandolin experts tickle those strings.
And the music trumped the weather.
I don't know why I've put off going. It's one of the best festivals I've attended. In every nook and corner folks played. They didn't interfere with each other and the sound quality in the castle was fabulous.
We'd just grabbed some free seats to see the end of Elsa Martin set. I knew I had to get some video. (She often sings in Fruilian dialect; that's why you can't understand it.) We are now proud owners of her latest CD: vERsO.
Then we came upon a stage set up in one of the castle towers, and were lucky enough to snag two front row seats in the tight little corner. There were four to a row, 6 rows deep. That's it. Then, as if mom nature thought we wanted some privacy, a pigeon let loose and covered the poor folks in the adjacent seats—leaving enough of its multicolored offings to give us sole survivor access to the first two rows. How lucky.
Then came the touchy Roberto Battelli and his solo guitar (what fingers!), shown working above, and finally, guitar-less, Mauro Manicardi featuring "Gli Scariolanti". Enjoy the video, it seems to have worked out well, considering it was done with my handheld Sony NEX-7.

Despite some early stumbles, the OWN Network has slowly been developing some franchise shows with "Oprah's Next Chapter" "Lifeclass" and Iyanla Vanzant's upcoming "Iyanla: Fix My Life", an all but guaranteed hit. But one of the network's early breakout shows was the reality series "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's" starring St. Louis restaurant owner Robbie Montgomery. She owns the "Sweetie Pie's" soul food restaurant of the title. The 70-something former Ikette is an unlikely reality star, but she's a star nonetheless. The trials and tribulations of her various family members including her only child Tim, his wife Janae, her nephew Charles and the varying personalities that make up the show has proven to be a winning formula for OWN.

This past weekend me Bryan, Nick and Ellan went on a short one nighter to Table Rock State Park, SC. We began in Greenville Friday night with REI shopping, I exchanged my Gregory 32 for an Osprey Kyte 46 which I love and hope to take with me on my South American backpacking trip in January! Later Mexican food and a few games of pool with Ryan and Jordan (we kicked their butts). We had a few beers and the night faded away.
We got a late ...

I've frequently encountered references to Sandburg but have to admit I haven't read any of his works. After his death the NPS approached his widow about the home in search of American literature oriented addition to park system. The house is left in the condition at the time of his death in 1967 and looks like an unkempt house of mostly bookshelves! Really, almost every room ...
Eastatoe Falls
... to follow a faint path upstream along the small tributary. It was less than a quarter-mile to the Waterfall on Northern Tributary of Log Hollow Branch. The waterfall is about 50 feet, but the watershed is small so the waterfall wasn't too impressive. After a couple of pictures, we backtracked to the forest road and continued hiking. Shortly, we reached another bridge and could see the next waterfall from the road - Waterfall ...
Home safe and sound
All went well this morning as planned and we arrived in Greenville about 2:00 pm. Home was just as we left it and after turning the water back on and turning up the heat, Jim sat down in his lazy boy and quickly fell asleep for a couple of hours. We talked about our trip on the drive from Charlotte and in summary were very pleased that it met or exceeded all our expectations. We could not pick ...

City Centre Pubs, Cambridge
26 Reviews
26 Reviews
Ok we came here twice in one day but the first time was so comfortable that we ended up here again having a final drink before saying goodbye to Gillian Mclaughlin.
Cambridge has many pubs and eating houses and this one was as good as any. It is large and has many places to sit and enjoy a chat aswell as a drink.
Dress Code: Casual dress is Ok
Pubs are a GIANT part of English daily life. Pubs have a wonderful atmosphere with a much more intriguing aspect about them than any American bar scene. Locals come to relax, unwind with a nice meal, possibly with a good bitter, ale, or lager. Some even drink Jack Daniels (Tennessee Whisky), which REALLY surprised me! :-)
There is definitely an abundance of "Old World charm" in most pubs in England. I am no expert pub crawler, by any means, and actually, I am a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, but the attitude just seems to magically transform, almost instantaneously, upon entering a nice, friendly pub.
There is this awesome site I found when searching for the address of Wetherspoons in London. (See Restaurant Tips on London pages for info on Wetherspoons). You can search by the pub name, address, postcode, nearest tube station, etc. It is similar to VT as it has ratings and reviews from the patrons who visited the pubs. You may even refine your search to include extras such as Big screen TV's, dartboard, pool table, live music, Sunday roast dinner, car park, etc. The list is extensive, but those are a few basics.
Like VT, it is not neccessary to be a member to view the details. If you are looking for some information about a great pub in Cambridge, or anywhere else in the World, this will do all the work for you. All you need do is decide which pub best suits your taste. :-)
Dress Code: Depending on the establishment, dress code may vary, but most pubs in general have a casual dress code. All details can be found at the following website.
Usefully located on Regent street, we used to meet here frequently after work. And that is what the atmosphere is like in here (most of the time), office workers and other locals having a little chat after work. Looks great, pretty clean ladies loos.
Good chips.
This is a really great pub: good beer, good food, really nice wine list. There's strictly no smoking and no mobiles. Which can be good or bad, depending. The no smoking is mostly ok (except that its a bad place to meet your smoking mates) as is the no mobile rule (except when you forget to turn yours off, it rings, and you get dirty looks from everyone in the bar -- you will get thrown out if you flaunt this rule).
It's tiny so come EARLY (it opens at 6, by 7 you'll have trouble getting a seat), and people tend to settle in for a long night of chatting and playing games.
The Eagle is a great spot for a pint. Not to say you'll be the only tourist in there, but you certainly won't find just tourists either. Its fairly large, surrounding a pleasent courtyard. Good beer too (I am not one of those people who go on about if its a green king pub or a whatist pub, so don't get on my back about the beer being wrong, I just find it good).
I've never eaten here, but I've heard its been done.
Dress Code: None, but trying not to look like a tourist will get you far.
This is a great pub that faces Regent Street (a main city centre road in C.) and Parkers Piece. Quite hidden from the road, and down a small alleyway, it's a big pub that is cheap. Has a t.v screen for football games, dart boards, and pool tables - the usual. Decor is olde style, and seats are comfy and numerous.
Good if you want to sit in a quiet-ish pub, that's good value but in the city.
I think they also do food.
Dress Code: Casual.
I could throughly recommend the website listed below. The pair who write the site material review every pub in Cambridge - and make a great job of it. I especially like their map of the pubs which looks rather like an Metro / Underground map.
If I was to set out on a Cambridge pub crawl, the following selection of eight would provide a selection of pubs with history, good beer, picturesque settings and interesting clientelle :
1) Fort St George
2) The Champion of the Thames
3) The Mitre
4) The Baon of Beef
5) The Eagle
6) The Anchor
7) The Mill
8) The Granta
The popular 'Revolution' (better known as Vodka Revolution) chain has been present in Cambridge for a couple of years now. It is a popular hangout place for the young crowds, especially at weekends with the odd stag & hen party here and there. There are five bars on several floors and as the name suggests, this place is specialised on Vodka. However, that does not mean that you don't get any of the other stuff. I once kept ordering Jagermeister and Guinness for me and a friend and I'm happy I can still remember that night....
Prices are a little higher than in most Cambridge venues, however if you use their club card and/or stick to the happy hours you will find some real bargains. Food is good for pub food, however, it is a little more expensive than in other places (see above...) and limited, especially when the place gets crowded at weekends. There are many groups of mid-twenties and many people who are there for an after-work party. I went there several times and like that place. However, due to its chain character, it has a sterile touch and a lack of individuality.
Dress Code: No specific dress code, just don't look as if you were completely out of this world.
The Eagle has had a very long history, but only opened in it's present form about a dozen years ago.
The five-roomed pub is deeply traditional with deep red-walls, stone flagging and boards on the floor. The pub also has a couple of special feature : Firstly a gabled heated courtyard for outdoor drinking and secondly a RAF bar at the back with signatures of wartime piolts on the ceiling.
A plaque outside also records that this is where Crick and Watson came to drink after work during the period they were working on the structure of DNA. I have a sneaking suspicion that the bar snacks available here may have influenced their deliberations. Did the humble pork scratching provide inspiration ?
The Anchor public house is an excellent place to enjoy views of the river whilst having a spot to eat and drink. Plenty of floors and various types of smoking and non smoking areas to keep everyone happy.
Dress Code: Typical informal English pub
Most Wetherspoon pubs are just as good and as bad as any other. Even the Regal in Cambridge is probably not what I call a secret tip or must do. However, the pub has a kind of properties which make it a special one. First, it is located in the former lobby of a cinema (parts of the cinema are still in use above the pub). That means that black and dark red are the dominating colours. The pub takes up the whole size of the former lobby, that means two floors and a terrace (which may be interesting for smokers who don't want to leave the pub), making it Britain's largest pub. On weekends, it is a popular venue for the young crowd and has also a small dancing area.
The audience is pretty mixed, but on weekends, you'll find almost only students and teenies. Be prepared to have your ID checked as well as occasionally searched for weapons on Friday and Saturday evening. During the week, it's more like a pub you would go to after work. The menu is typically Wetherspoon, I didn't notice anything special. There was a surprisingly good choice of guest ales. Prices are as low as in an usual Wetherspoon Pub.
As I said, the Regal is Britain's largest pub. Britain's smallest is just a little more than an hour by train away: The Nutshell in Bury St. Edmunds. Cambridge's smallest, St. Radegund, is just 500 metres away.
Dress Code: No dress code, but I am sure you will be refused entry on weekends, if you look like causing trouble.
If you are looking for a place for large groups close to the youth hostel or the train station, the Salisbury Arms might be the right place for you. Popular with students, it has an atmosphere which rather reminds me of a pub back home in Northern Germany than a typical English Pub. It was fine, with one central bar and many seats and tables around. The staff was not unfriendly, but seemed rather introverted. I guess that any of the other guests (more than 30) would have made a better partner for conversation than those two behind the counter. Guest ales are always available, unfortunately, there was no stout for me.
Food is mainly served as lunch, although the kitchen is open until evening during the week. At weekends, there is a Sunday roast lunch. Outside of that, there is only crisps, biltong and nuts.
The place is OK, but if you are not in a large group, there are better alternatives within walking distance. This includes the Flying Pig and the Emperor (both at Hills Road), some pubs at Mills Road, the Kingston Arms (Kingston street) and even one of my favourites, the Geldart, at Ainsworth Street.
Cambridge is full of great pubs - the ones near the centre are often crowded at the weekend, so if you want somewhere quieter, head to the just-out-of centre ones.
Some recommended central pubs are: The Eagle (old with lots of character), The Mitre (old but can be a bit smokey), The Regal (big and busy) and The Hogshead (big and busy).
Dress Code: At the weekend some of the pubs have doormen, so they might stop you coming in if you look *too* scruffy. It's unlikely, though ;-)
There are literally dozens of really good pubs in Cambridge. It's a case of take your pick. My personal favourites are, for starters:
The Mill
A Tap and Spile pub, so as such you can expect a great range of regularly changing beers. On a nice hot day you can take your beer outside onto the rather impromptu beer garden (otherwise known as The Bridge!!) and drink it while you watch first-time punters trying not to fall in.
Once while we were here, Stephen Hawking rolled by - we were just awestruck. I'd actually seen someone who's been on Star Trek!
Dress Code: Anything. It's just a pub!
Another great pub just next door to The Mill is The Anchor.
This is a sprawling multi-level pub with floors and mezzanine floor and a limited amount of outside tables overlooking the river. Despite it's size it gets a bit teeming with people on a busy weekend evening and has a pretty good atmosphere.
Dress Code: Anything.
Get an instant answer from local experts and frequent travelers
The Champ is my local and I love it for all the reasons you rightly state. No music, no tv (unless there is a rugby or cricket match - but on a small tv behind the var). Lawrence keeps great beer and at a good low price for the house beer, Green Kings IPA. The staff are friendly and most welcoming. Its a pub where as a single person and a stranger, are welcomed by the locals and to join in for a chat or an impromptu singalong.
The guest ales are often good too, and now you can buy a roll behind the bar if you are peckish and demanding more than a bag of pork Scratchings.

Court Tells City to Improve Services for AIDS Victims
By NICHOLE M. CHRISTIAN
Published: December 19, 2001
A year after finding that New York City was not doing enough to assist thousands of people living with AIDS, a federal judge in Brooklyn ordered the city to issue them rent subsidies, Medicaid, emergency housing and other benefits in a timely manner.
The ruling by Sterling Johnson Jr. of Federal District Court also requires that the Division of AIDS Services and Income Support issue dated receipts noting the time of requests for assistance made by people infected with H.I.V., according to a copy of the ruling.
The ruling follows a September 2000 decision by Judge Johnson in which he found that some of the 27,000 people dependent on the city agency were routinely subjected to ''chronically and systematically'' late benefits. In some cases, food stamps and other benefits were terminated without notice to the client, the judge found.
Judge Johnson's intervention stems from a 1995 class-action lawsuit brought by Housing Works, an AIDS advocacy group that over the years has challenged various AIDS-related city policies.
A spokeswoman for the city's corporation counsel did not return several calls to her office seeking comment.
But Armen H. Merjian, a staff lawyer for Housing Works, called Judge Johnson's latest ruling a great victory.
''We won a wonderful decision in 2000 and now we have a wonderful order mandating the steps that we have for so long argued as necessary to guarantee that this population be assured meaningful access to critical benefits and services.''
The requirement of a dated receipt is particularly beneficial to people living with AIDS, Mr. Merjian said. ''Many people with AIDS also suffer from dementia. The dated receipt will help hold the city accountable for the time frame. It will serve as tangible proof that the city can't just evade by saying it has no record of an application, which is part of the bureaucratic hell they have long subjected our clients to.''
Among the other major requirements under the ruling, the city must, for three years, appoint a troubleshooter to resolve problems reported by people with H.I.V. and AIDS. The troubleshooter will report to Magistrate Judge Cheryl Pollak, who last year was appointed to monitor the agency.
In addition, the agency must assign each caseworker no more than 34 individual clients or 25 family cases. Those numbers have been in effect since July 11, 1997, Mr. Merjian said, but the city has failed to meet the guidelines in several offices.
While the city did not comment yesterday, Mr. Merjian said he expected lawyers for the city to seek an appeal, as they did after Judge Johnson's 2000 ruling.
It is unclear whether the incoming Bloomberg administration will take up the matter, he said.

Dr. Kunin didn't do much with this expensive moisturizer to make it worthy of its price. It is designed for those dealing with rosacea, but it doesn't contain an impressive blend of anti-irritants or ingredients known to have a pronounced effect on reducing redness. In many ways, this is just an ordinary creamy moisturizer of water, thickeners, silicone, Vaseline, and a small amount of antioxidants, and at this price you should expect more. At least the airless jar packaging will help keep the light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable during use. The emollient ingredients in this moisturizer cannot reduce oiliness, and there is nothing in this moisturizer that can reduce blemishes. It's good that fragrance wasn't included, but that's the least you should expect from a dermatologist. This isn't a slam-dunk solution for those with rosacea, though the formula doesn't contain any known irritants that would aggravate this condition. The real problem is how much it costs for what ends up being a predominantly basic emollient moisturizer.
Rescue and renew upset skin by calming the appearance of redness, oiliness and blemishes associated with rosacea-prone skin. Cooling botanicals blended with White Tea - high in polyphenols - soothe, balance, and help your complexion regain composure. Visibly improves signs of aging. This exclusive, medically formulated and tested line of gentle and effective skin care solutions is developed by leading dermatologist, Audrey Kunin, M.D.
Deionized Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Squalane, Butylene Glycol, Petrolatum, Glycerin, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides, Caprylyl Glycol, Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid, Oleanolic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Acrylates Copolymer, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Carbomer, Stearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract, Panthenol, Superoxide Dismutase, Lecithin, Matricaria Chamomilla (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylparaben
DERMAdoctor At-a-Glance
Strengths: Company provides complete product ingredient lists on its Web site; well formulated AHA products; sunscreens provide critical broad-spectrum protection, good oil-control product; a couple of great, though pricey, cleansers.
Weaknesses: Expensive; mostly poor anti-acne products; anti-wrinkle products making imossible claims; clinical studies alluded to are not made available to the public (which is odd, given that this is a brand fronted by a dermatologist); some product formulas suffer due to jar packaging.
The DERMAdoctor line is the brainchild of Kansas City-based dermatologist Dr. Audrey Kunin. Dr. Kunin's Web site retails not only the DERMAdoctor brand but several products from other brands, many of which have ties to specific dermatologic concerns (everything from athlete's foot to warts). Many of these specialty products are available from your local drugstore, but Kunin's site provides helpful, mostly reliable information concerning various skin-care concerns.
We wish her own products followed the strength of her advice, but alas, most do not. This is another dermatologist-developed line with plenty of products whose names and claims make you think they're a cosmetic corrective procedure in a bottle (or, in some cases, a jar, which is never a good packaging move). There are some products to pay attention to, though whether you want to strongly consider them or not comes down to how much you feel comfortable spending (DERMAdoctor products aren't cheap).
DERMAdoctor isn't exactly "your prescription for beautiful skin" but Dr. Kunin gets enough right that her line isn't one to gloss over, particularly if you're shopping for sunscreens, AHA products, and facial cleansers. Those with acne should look elsewhere, because DERMAdoctor's products don't have the solution, despite their cute product names.

MEMO To: Coordinating Council From: Carol Bradley Date: 12/20/05 RE: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES Here are the results of your analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of possibilities for making vision services in Iowa more effective and efficient. It is essentially a direct rendering of your comments gathered after the small group work. A. A model academic program is developed at UNI to focus on middle school and high school aged students with emphasis on transition to higher education. The model will incorporate the expanded core curriculum emphasis on personal independence and social development. ADVANTAGES: Proximity to teacher training program. Proximity of Vinton to UNI for opportunities. Time to do expanded core curriculum (which could be done at IBSSS). Reach more underserved students. A "magnet-like" resource. Help fill shortage of teachers. Better ongoing teacher training. UNI already strong in teacher education. Expertise for residential component. Price Lab school. VI teacher preparation program. 700 to 800 student teachers go through Price Lab. Core mission of Education Dept at UNI is social justice. One third of teachers hired in state are graduates of UNI. Appropriate math and science education. Ease of transition to postsecondary education. Intensive training in expanded core curriculum. Offer a non-rural setting for O&M practice. Peer interaction. Would benefit students in training for teaching, (general education, special education and TVI). Allows the reallocation of Regents dollars. 1 DISADVANTAGES: Doesn't meet need for all students currently at IBSSS in Vinton. Takes students away from families. Limited numbers of students would benefit from this alternative. May not be the best use of available dollars. Would require capacity building at UNI among teaching staff. How to provide residential services. Need support of central administration of UNI. Deals with one set of the population from IBSSS, but not both. Presents access challenges--transportation to and from and not centrally located. Unsure what it looks like; already established program could do it. Creating another program? Why? Reinvent? Take focus away from younger kids. What about putting such young kids on a college campus? Why would families go to this over existing programs? B. ISD assumes responsibilities for outreach, business and human resource functions, to include the establishment of regional outreach centers in x locations of the state which will be operated in cooperation with the Area Education Agencies to better serve students in their resident districts. ADVANTAGES: Better use of some resources, e.g. payroll. Eliminate some duplication. Similar to current IBSSS outreach model. Enhanced efficiencies,(spread overhead). Eliminate physical plant liability at Vinton. Regionally located centers (better access regionally). Centralization and efficiency. Regional centers gets services closer to home. Shared costs, more efficient. From AEA view--fewer agencies to work with. Regional centers and increased outreach provides better services to kids. DISADVANTAGES: School for the deaf doesn't have this expertise and is not their primary role. May cause more confusion for parents and others about service provision. 2 Addressing the specific disability concerns. Concern about continuity of services. Hard for people to break the mold so fear we will keep doing the same old thing and not make change we need. Removes residential option. Lack of expertise at ISD to administer blindness/VI services statewide. If Jeanne Prickett not there and ISD superintendent did not have VI background, could it be a problem? Distance, different bureaucracy. C. ISD and IBSSS are co-located on the ISD campus with separate and distinct educational and dormitory programs. ADVANTAGES: Could share pay roll, etc. Residential option available. Economies of scale/efficiencies relative to overhead costs and capital facility costs Newer physical plant at ISD. Proximity to Nebraska for resources/students. Visibility, e.g. strength in combining missions and interests, "political capital". Maintains continuum, residential option for families. Efficient for facilities and administrative costs. May attract some students from Nebraska. Advantage with Jeanne Prickett having expertise in both areas. DISADVANTAGES: All the programs are in the western part of the state-larger geographically remote program, problem with transition. Lose services of UI. Not centrally located. Distance from potential key future partners, e.g. Regent universities. Staff capacity/skills to deliver specialized VI/Blind education questionable, (unless staff at IBSSS relocated or VI/Blind experts were recruited to ISD) If separate and distinct, why do it? Loss of identity and advocacy for VI. Deaf services might absorb funds. Not central geographically. Could be at IBSSS, why not? Location is poor for where students are living—more kids on east side. 3 Students have different needs. Travel for support to staff in resource centers. Hard to find any one later if Jeanne P. left/retired. D. The specialized technology services including the assistive device center and low vision clinic responsibilities are assumed by cooperative agreements between UI and the Area Education Agencies. ADVANTAGES: Expertise leveraged from UI and brought to the community level; implement with integrity at local level. Enhances coordination among capable but different resources. Potential for better outcomes through the use of best practices. Shared coordination Expertise available Proximity to other services (health services). Efficient for lending. More variety available. Opens possibilities to re-think LEA purchase of devices and then not needing equipment if student moves or graduates. Makes services available locally; but, we need to develop expertise. DISADVANTAGES: UI assistive technology grant could go away--services go away. Coordination could be problematic-need good working relationship. Compete for resources in AEA. Need a funding mechanism to support. Conflicting information for families. Lack of central coordination for overall educational services statewide. Timelines of service providers. Academic priorities, (e.g. publish or promotion) don't always match local priorities/methods. Bureaucracy and timetable challenges. E. IBSSS is retained at its current location with more emphasis on flexible programming alternatives; e.g. school year set up as five quarters across a calendar year with students able to attend from one to five quarters, a fifth year high school career/vocational option; a day program for students within a 50 mile radius, etc. 4 ADVANTAGES: Economic concerns for the community. We need center based programs; but, it needs to be a revolving door model. Less disruption for current staff, families and students currently there. Better year-round use of facilities. Fifth year option could help with post-secondary transition. Day program could operate as a resource center concept. Good qualified staff already in place. More focused skill development. More access for students who currently are unable to use. Continue to use a state resource that has some great features; e.g. geothermal. Families might consider focused services that would defray operating costs. "IBSSS works". Parents and students have chance to realize emphasis on focused issues (different approach from present). Staff already in place/residential component as well in place. Opportunity to serve more students. Possibly more cost effective. DISADVANTAGES: Potential disruption in public school experience and social development. Still have aging physical plant. Without a minimum number of quarters, the benefit/outcome may not be fully realized. Possible new pressures/responsibilities to local Vinton School District, if unfunded this might magnify challenges. How would it look? Not sure families and districts would use it. Residential settings are hard on family relationships. 5th year option is redundant with Dept for the Blind programs, inefficient. Cost of maintaining old buildings and large campus. More kids would be interested in summer, not equal across 5 quarters. Questioning access because of location. Give more families with above opportunities but geographical availability to families would be better served with four across the state. Will expanding service options expand the number of students and families who access the services? F. Alternative uses for the IBSSS facilities and grounds are identified; e.g. for 5 students currently placed out-of-state; for the unmet needs of students with behavior disorders; and for students with severe behavior disorders within the autism spectrum, etc. ADVANTAGES: May help with student assessment and management priorities. May enhance "placement" options within Iowa for very complex/severe needs. Possible contemporary alternate use of existing Regent facility. Possible resource (via, ICN) for school districts across the state on behavior disorders. State addresses its accountability for handling these needs. DISADVANTAGES: Not our problem. Are we trying to fill the campus or meet a need? People prefer services closer to home. Currently DHS is keeping students in own community and would they support this? Could we use other programs like Independence, Cherokee, Clarinda, etc? Will there be other supports available such as therapy? It would be sad to use IBSSS for something radically different. Spread thin resources already allocated to blind students. Dilute a focused program. What's the message about importance of blind students' specialized services we are sending? May not include all the necessary experts, e.g. at UI. Physical plant challenges don't go away; may need to retro-fit facilities to achieve safe setting. May stress local resources for these costly and complex students. G. Explore a cooperative agreement with the Department for the Blind for transition services for older students with visual impairments. ADVANTAGES: Possibility for greater job/life skills success. Leverages Departments expertise in vocational areas. Potentially expands/enhances the perspectives of both priorities. Aren't we already committed to this? 6 Serve multiply impaired for vocational rehabilitation services. More efficient use of resources. Takes advantage of expertise in field of blindness and visual impairments. Bridge for students into adult services. Have summer programs already operating. Could maximize federal dollars if more state dollar support for services. DISADVANTAGES: Support staff in understanding a new model. Concern for the quality of service provided. We should already be doing this! Staff of IBSSS and the Department for the Blind haven't historically communicated or partnered well. (different philosophies) Geographically distant, (transportation problems for families and students). Perception that the Department for the Blind does not accept change well. H. Early childhood, birth to age eight. ADVANTAGES: If you can help children get solid skills early, they can "soar" later. DISADVANTAGES: More resources needed - very specialized. More reluctance to send very young children, needs to be based at home. I. Regional Center - center based programs with comprehensive services available. ADVANTAGES: Provide programs so we are not creating barriers for normalcy. 7 J. Resource Rooms ADVANTAGES: Better use of highly skilled personnel. DISADVANTAGES: Families might not access. 8

One Flow water system
We are researching our options to remove scale from the hard water here in Florida. We came across the One Flow system which is not a water softener but a scale removal system. I am interested in feedback from anyone who has the system or a water softener systems. Looking for recommendations as well as cautions. Thanks in advance!
The Watts OneFlow uses TAC (Template-Assisted Crystallization), a technology that shows some promise. I do have some reservations about TAC for use in a residential application.
1) The media has to be replaced after two years. Replacement schedule is time-based and independent of the amount of water passed through the system.
2) The media requires that there be NO copper in the water.
3) They are costly - $450-$800 for a cartridge system. Plus the cartridge has to be replaced every two years at a cost of around $300.
4) While studies have shown TAC to prevent scale formation, they have not looked at redissolution of the crystals, which is a very real possibility in a residential system where most of the time water is sitting idle rather than flowing constantly.
5) Those studies I was able to find were sponsored by Watts so were not independent.
I don't have any feedback, but am interested in this topic myself. I've been interested in the Watts One Flow for about 4 years now. I know the One Flow has passed a tough German purification certification.
But since this was developed as a commercial/industrial product they don't have much of the residential market covered. I'm interested, especially how it can reverse some of the buildup we've already got around the home.
My concern is if the formed crystals have any impact when consumed by people. Are they inert and pass on through humans without any impact?

I imagine he would have
I imagine he would have endorsed him if he felt he was worthy of that endorsement. After all, he had no problem endorsing Chuck Baldwin in 2008. There is obviously something about GJ that makes him withhold his endorsement. I wouldn't know what that would be, but obviously there is something.

Del. couple arrested after having sex on roof of Chipotle
The bizarre incident happened at about 9:40 p.m. Saturday when the restaurant was still open for business
By Steve Beck
CBS Philly
NEWARK, Del. — According to investigators, officers with the Newark Police Department were called to scene after receiving multiple reports of a male and female having sex on the roof of the restaurant.
The bizarre incident happened at about 9:40 p.m. Saturday at the Chipotle restaurant on East Main Street in Newark. The restaurant closes at 10 p.m. and was still open for business.
The officer told the couple they were under arrest, but investigators say the pair got off the roof and ran into the male's apartment on East Main Street. Police located the couple in the apartment and they were taken into custody.

When her beloved six-year-old Labrador went missing two months ago, Aruna Ananthavijayan and her family were distraught. They searched far and wide for Titan, put up his 'missing' poster in the area, shared it on Facebook, in newspapers and followed up on every lead. Around Easter, they received a call from a person who saw their Facebook post and said that a male Labrador was spotted in their area.
Aruna, accompanied by her son and his friend rushed to the spot. When they arrived, they found a male emaciated Labrador who was being pounced on by other dogs on the street. The fur on his tail and front limbs had been pulled off by the dogs, and he appeared to have been starving for days. On closer inspection, they found that he wasn't Titan.
Aruna recalls sitting down next to the dog and calling him. He came to her readily, but moved away in a few moments, still disoriented from the experience. While it wasn't clear whether the dog was lost or abandoned, Aruna imagined Titan in the place of this dog and was disturbed by the thought of some other owner suffering the same way she was, wondering where her pet was, and made enquiries in the locality. After the efforts to find the owner proved futile, Aruna finally put the dog in her car, as she couldn't bring herself to leave him there or send him to a shelter.
She got him cleaned up at a veterinary clinic and fed him. "We tried calling him, using all the names that dogs usually have, and he didn't respond to any of them," says Aruna who named him Simba. In the days that followed, he became more accepting of affection and regained his health. Aruna is an optimist who believes that her own dog too is safe with a family like hers. She has decided to adopt Simba and continues to search for Titan through newspaper ads and posters. Aruna refers to her missing dog as her third child (as she has two sons). She speaks fondly of how Titan would make puppy eyes at her after being naughty, and of his ability to understand both English and Tamil. She hopes that she will soon receive that much-awaited phone call from the person who has been caring for him, so that her family can be whole again.
(If you have any information on Titan's whereabouts, contact Aruna at email@example.com)

Recently I got an LG Gpad 8.3 (I'm new to android) an part of the reason i got it is because all the tweaking I can do to it. Part of that is installing the CyanogenMod. I while back I experimented with a friend's HD2 and foud out that you can dualboot. So is this possible on this tablet? I want to install CyanogenMod to get the full dose of android customization while keeping the gpad's original OS as it will be my standard. Include as much information as you could please .
Thanks in advance.
