awesome watch
this is a really beautiful watch. I got it for my boyfriend for his first watch and he loves it. it is thin and easy to read. Not bulky like a lot of men's watches. This is a must have in a man's watch collection.Read More
Less is more
With this day and age, it seems everyone is sporting a saucer plate with flashy stones attached to their wrist. I wanted to bring it back to the basics. I wanted a elegant watch that isn't screaming "Look what I have on my wrist!" Not to say people don't notice it. I've received many compliments. It is simple in design but isn't lacking. It is true to the design of being ultra slim. It works great with dress shirts by not getting caught up in the shirt's cuff. It looks slightly out place when not wearing a dress shirt. To me, this watch isn't trying to be flashy, but simple and classy. If you style is more along the lines of "James Bond" where the man wears the clothes and not visa versa; this watch is right up your alley.Read More

This is the first watch I have owned which does not have a second hand. I thought I would miss it, but the watch is so light, masculine and accurate that I do not. I would strongly recommend to anyone desiring a slim watch.Read More

I like the look of this but I need a leather band watch that is crisp and elegant that has a clasp - not a pin - I hope I am describing this properly - very hard to find a leather band with a clasp closure as opposed to the traditional pin in the hole - cannot determine if this is what I am liiking for or not - thanks

For most people, starting (or, in my case, restarting) ballet with a class or two per week is good, three or four is pushing it. Because it's HARD.
This week I've got five, then, starting next week, ten. Three on Mondays and Wednesdays, one on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and two on Saturdays.
I HURT! Like severely. It's funny. I went to grab something on the floor and had to put my hands on my knees and bend over ssssslooooooowwwwlllllyyyyy like a feeble geriatric person. I don't think there's a single part of my body that doesn't hurt. My legs, calves, tummy, arms.... Okay, so my hair doesn't hurt. But otherwise?
I'm so exhausted. In a good-bad way. Good in that it's good for my health and distracts me from not-happy thoughts, bad in that all I want to do is sit around watching martial arts movies, like Bloodsport (true story about Frank Dux, who ditched the military to go fight in an underground kumite). And, you know, I'm going to lose a ton more weight. Woot!
So figurative puty, peoples! Well, not even that. I just want some ballet talk and to see what people have to say about this. 'Tis some of the only amusement I have right now because I hurt too much to even go take a bath! No, wait. Vaseline bath salts, coconut-mango bubble stuff, wine, candles.... Scratch that. Bathtub, here I come!

I know this is off-topic for tech stuff, but I don't care.
I lost one of my dearest friends hours before finding out my mother is dying. My work is changing so much that I feel new and lost. The only bright spot was a romance rekindling. I had his support and confessed love. The place I felt safest in this world was when he would hold me, and his kisses made the hurt stop for a moment, especially the butterfly-soft ones.
Between 3am this morning and noon, he went from sending kisses on AIM to suddenly saying I am the reason for some of his problems, that I manipulated him and set brother against brother, son against father, this past weekend, and earned his trust through coersion and lies, that I would tell them different stories. His brother feels the same way.
Yet I can prove exactly the opposite using his own LiveJournal posts and replies, and his and his brother's IMs, which are autosaved with Trillian. I can prove I reinforced his brother's love and asked him to not cut his brother, that I defended his brother not understanding some things, supported the difficult decision he made to cut his father from his life, who he described as "toxic" (I can prove this), ultimately talked him into giving his father another chance as the reasons for the cut were third-degree heresay, and encouraged him to speak directly with his brother and father about his problems with them. I am dead-serious when I say I can prove this using their own words in the form of typed proof. And the one thing I can recall having told them different was telling one brother I thought he wwas right on something, but, after six whole weeks, came to view an incident differently and so told the other that I thought he was right. This was after six weeks and my thoughts on the matter changing, not telling one one thing, and telling the other another thing an hour later.
Someone manipulating someone doesn't want the manipulatee to increase contact and communication with those she wants to set him against. She wouldn't try to convince him to talk openly with those she'd tell lies about, the very ones who can confirm or deny the truth. She wouldn't constantly reinforce his brother's love for him, and tell him a gesture his father made was one of wanting to establish a relationship when he thought it was a sign of his father not caring enough to know him.
I believe that, if you make accusations, be prepared to back it up, and be certain of it enough to be willing to allow the accused one the right to defend herself. If you're sure enough of your stance on it, you'll be able to hold your end against her defense. But to make an accusation public, then to disallow her to defend herself - that's cowardly and shows a lack of certainty, and maybe even a cruel desire to hurt her to make yourself feel better and in control of something.
I can make an honest jusitifcation for why he and his brother are doing this. I was put in the middle of their complaints about each other, had to try to come to some middle ground in belief on my own because I didn't want to believe either when they were saying bad things abut each other, and because I was in the middle and it just wasn't working, they weren't communicating, it was easiest to blame me. Easier to blame me than to blame each other or themselves. I never tried to hurt them, always tried to be a good friend who listened when they needed it, who'd dry tears, hold a hand, let one talk for hours when he needed to, even when that need came the day after I found out my mom is dying. All caring and loving did was earn his distrust.
I love him still, have never stopped, even after he put me through hell emotionally, and I just don't know how to get him and his brother to revisit their own words and see the truth. He was the one bright spot on my bleak horizon.
Journal: MacBook! 4
For a friend's surprise costume birthday party, I changed my costume when my roommate and I were about half an hour from leaving. Instead of being the Green Fairy from Moulin Rouge, I decided to go with black tights, black silk velvet corset, black lace undies, a green sash, and my black velvet cloak. Mere said Iw as "indecisive," so that is what I went as. I was "Indecisive." (Though by the end of the night, when we girls were assigned one of the seven deadly sins, I was assigned Lust.)
When I have options, I am indecisive, like to make the best decision. So, after a month of trying to decide between a MacBook and MacBook Pro, getting all the info and reviews I can, from people who have them to friends who work for Apple, I've decided on the 2GHz MacBook with a RAM upgrade to 2GB, and I want to upgrade the hard drive, but Apple tops out at offering 120GB. Somehow I am bothered by the idea of my iPod having half that (well, not really, the 60GB iPod has a few BG less of available space), so will probably get it with the standard 60Gb and upgrade it to probably 200GB myself. I'm not afraid to open up electronic things and play with them. Never have been.
Briefly I considered the black macBook, but there are only three differences, the color, 20MB more on the HD, and $200. To upgrade the HD on the white would be $45, and then the two would identical but for color, and the $155-difference would be put to better use. Hell, it's $90 to upgrade the RAM from 512MB to 1GB, and I'd still be up $65 on the white, and with a faster machine. But I'm going to go for 2GB. The way I see it is that I'd rather get something a few steps over what I think I'll need and not need it rather that to get exactly what I need, only to find I need more later on.
And since this will be used for work more than anything, and since I am a contractor, it's all a nice tax write-off.
I'm so damned tired of PCs.
Journal: Let me backtrack and introduce myself
I am an analytical engineer, basically a fancy way to say I decide what's spam and phishing and program my company's software to recognize certain aspects of it, such as certain URLs, phone numbers, etc., to prevent it from going to out clients' inboxes. Sometimes I assign values to keywords into the Beyesian. It's boring as all hell, but it pays a nice full-time salary for part-time hours.
I didn't go to college. Before finishing high school, I had started my first company, a small business making movie gown reproductions, which later turned into custom designing. This is something I'll still do on the side soemtimes. At 22, I became a fathers' rights advocate after seeing what my then-fiancé had to go through to be allowed to spend literally just two hours per month with his daughter. I quickly rose to be on the board of directors of an international fathers' rights organization. Being a woman doesn't mean I automatically believe mothers are better parents. Not at all.
The following year I co-founded another company with said-then-fiancé, bonding transactions to increase trust in the online trading community, blah blah. When we broke up, I let him take the company. All he's done with it since then is to finish the trademark I started, but otherwise, he knows little about the company, so it's all but dead.
Technology has always intersted me. I like knowing how things work and making them work. Until last summer, I never had the chance to learn anything. Until last summer, the only thing I knew at all was that HTML stands for hyper text markup language. But what that meant was a mystery. Of all things, I started to learn HTML due to LiveJournal. It made sense there, so when I picked up some books, it was like second nature to learn so much more.
As far as languages and such go, I am still in the process of learning some that seem basic to others. I've just started online courses in Java and Perl (Python isn't offered) through Foothill College. I both feel slightly embarassed that I don't know more than I do, while at the same time proud to be doing what I do for a living at my age, coming from knowing nothing at all a year ago to being a well-respected engineer at a large company. I've got the motivation, the drive to succeed. My goal is to be a programmer.
Let's see. Aside from tech stuff, I write poetry, and dance ballroom on Friday nights, and especially enjoy tango, rhumba, swing, and Viennese waltzing, and used to take ballet. I was a flutist for 14 years, and used to sing.
I absolutely adore Battlestar Galactica, the new series (though the original is great fun too), and it's the reason I went with a video iPod, so I could put BSG on it. Robot Chicken is fantastic, as is South Park and The Daily Show. A dear friend introduced me to a band called A Silver Mount Zion, and that music is wonderful. I think I'm hooked on Tool's song Vicarious right now.
As I am putting of studying I need to be doing right now, I'm going to get back to that as I am not sure anyone will even read this, so why waste my time?

Hi my name is Amy, ok my full Vampire name is:
Lady Amelia Mistress of the Night Mare but I prefer to shorten mine to Amy Mah (Vampire) or just Amy to my friends.
For those who do not know me I should point out that I used to be a feral vamp living in the outside world raised by humans until I was discovered and adopted into Vampire society.
In the human world life was very difficult for me, I knew I needed blood but did not know how to get it, all I had was human books and films telling all kinds of stuff that was useless like I can change into a bat, and that is so not true as I tried it and all it does is make you look stupid as you flap your arms up and down!
It was while living with humans I started writing my own little journal, recording what it is like being a teenage vampire, I know that a lot of it will be very obvious but I started it when I knew very little about Vampire-ing if you are interested you can read more of my life in my biography 'the Night Eternal' isbn 978-1874192473.
As I said it is just my scribblings, but I hope you find it useful or at least amusing.

Not only does fighting war in faraway places cost billions of American taxpayer dollars, but now Israel wants more money to support Sharons wild foreign policy, which has widened from the daily bashing of Palestinians to attacks on Lebanon and Syria.
The simplest way for the president to help himself is to dump Donald Rumsfeld, the Strangelovian figure who heads a runaway Department of Defense. At home, Rumsfeld has built himself an intelligence apparatus that competes with the CIA. He has his own foreign policy, created and executed by a unique set of neocon foreign policy advisers. With his crew of apparatchiks, Rumsfeld can brush aside Secretary of State Colin Powell and even drag Bush along in the wake. The Pentagon has the biggest budget in the government. While the rest of the nation talks about fiscal integrity, the Pentagon applies its own strange brand of Keynesian economics, pumping more and more dollars into the military-industrial complex. Rumsfeld has no accountability and never has had. All this while he oversees not only the Iraq war efforts but also the political and economic terms of the occupation.
Internationally, Rumsfeld's HQ is the center of the attack on the United Nations. Rumsfeld created and endorsed the "new Europe," that ragtag group of Kremlin leftovers and others who have replaced, in Bush flackery, the "old Europe" led by France and Germany. This week, just as Bush was trying to mend ties with Germany and France, Rumsfeld lost it with a German broadcast reporter, snippily asking him, "Cant you understand English?" The White House tried to laugh it off as just one more example of Grandpa Rummys grumpy good humor.
Internally, Rumsfeld tries to use the same bulldozing tactics on rival agencies. Last week he openly scorned CIA intelligence estimates.
But it's on the other side of the planet where Rumsfeld is doing the most damage. That's where he presides over an Iraq that is soon to be engorged with $87 billion in pork-barrel money paid out to U.S. corporations screwing around with training police, building police headquarters buildings, and trying to guard the nations dilapidated oil industry, its pipelines, and the airportall of which is described in great detail in todays Washington Post.
As Rummy celebrates the New Europe, the Old Europe is striking back. Reports today are that Russia is moving to sell its oil in eurosnot dollarsa very big slap in the face to the already dwindling purchasing power of the U.S. dollar and a body blow to the U.S.'s standing at the center of the global economy. Isn't it time to take away Grandpa Rummy's license?

|Sooners QB Bell ready for trip to Notre Dame
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 23 September 2013 11:45
By MURRAY EVANS
Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says for a quarterback with exactly one collegiate start, Blake Bell is about as prepared as one can be to face a marquee opponent on the road,
Stoops and the Sooners expect a calm demeanor from Bell on Saturday, when No. 14 Oklahoma (3-0) will visit No. 22 Notre Dame (3-1). That's because while the junior didn't make his first start until Sept. 14 against Tulsa, he's played in plenty of big games during his career.
He played in 20 games during his freshman and sophomore seasons, rushing for 372 yards and 24 touchdowns.
He saw action at key times last season against Notre Dame, Oklahoma State and Texas. Against Notre Dame, he scored the first rushing touchdown of the season surrendered by the Fighting Irish.

Blacks who attended predominantly white universities can use their Power, Influence and Money to help today's Students
Posted by managerofwealth in Uncategorized on October 21, 2014
I am taking this entire week to recover from all the hanging out I did with my fellow alums at the University of Maryland Homecoming this past week. I sit in a café writing and reflecting on all that has changed at my alma mater since 1989. More to the point, I am reflecting on all that has happened to change Black life at the university since the first Black undergrad (Hiram Whittle) was admitted in 1951, the first Black grad student (Parren J. Mitchell) in 1952, and the first Black Women (Elaine Johnson) in 1955.
For the Blacks who attended UM before the early 1980s, it was a largely racist and unwelcoming step toward a better life in America. The majority of the administration, faculty, staff and students called and treated those students as if they did not belong. So much so that the federal government had to step in and insist the University change its treatment. One item on that list was use of the word "Nigger," which, if you talk to anyone who came through UM between 1951 and 1979, was the first word they heard when the stepped on the campus. As a result of their treatment, it is difficult to find Black graduates for the 1950 and 1960s, because almost all transferred to more progressive and welcoming institutions of higher learning.
By the 1980s and 1990s, UM had been transformed into a mini-HBCU, with a Black student body that numbered close to 1,500. Those students enjoyed total access to university resources and a prospering and successful Black student body. When I arrived at UM in 1989, I was overwhelmed by the large campus and the 35,000 predominantly white students. But within weeks I was enveloped in the arms of the Black Terps and have remained so for the past 25 years. I can't tell you the hundreds of incredible benefits that have sprung from my time at UM, but can attest to the fact those benefits arose out of the great relationships forged during my time at UM, and nurtured ever since.
And here are some of the facts to bear witness to the facts that the benefits of UM are not mine alone:
- The University of Maryland has the largest group of Black Alumni of any predominantly white institution in the United States of America.
- The University of Maryland produces more Black Lawyers than any institution including HBCUs in the country.
- The University of Maryland instituted a rule that all athletes will be allowed to stay at the university and complete their degrees.
- The University of Maryland graduates 86% of its matriculating Black males and 89% of its matriculating Black females, more than any other similar school.
It is now time for the Black alum of the University of Maryland to take their rightful place in shaping the next 100 years of Black life at our wonderful institution. Black Alums have amassed power, influence and money both nationally and internationally, and it is time that those resources are put to great use for the next generation of leaders, lawyers, engineers, scientist, businesspeople, artists and others seeking a top-notch education.
Because many alums identify more closely with their classmates, fraternities and sororities and organizations than they the university itself, it can be difficult to determine how best to make a contribution to serve the next generation of Black students. Below are a few rules for giving that will help ensure your contributions can reach, and more importantly affect, the future wellbeing of Black students at UM:
Rule 1
Target your giving. If you want to help provide money scholarships for Black students, make sure your money is earmarked specifically for that purpose. Unless your money is earmarked, it can end up anywhere the university sees fit. Neither Bill Gates nor Warren Buffet give money unconditionally, so why should you?
Rule 2
Find a UM organization you care about and give through them. Give through a group focused on the community you seek to help. Such donations give that group more power and influence, and help them achieve their mission. In addition, those donations send a message to the university that this group is a force to be reckoned with. Giving through a specific organization also provides you with more opportunities to observe how your money is being spent, and allows you to play a greater role (if you want to) in helping that organization meet its goals.
Rule 3
If you had a bad experience with racism and bigotry while at the University, you are just as responsible to give to the current student population if you have the resources to do so. America has been a largely challenging experience for Blacks, but the Black students of 1951 – 1979 are as needed as the grads from 1980 to the present. You need to come see that your sacrifice was worth it. In 1951 if someone called you a nigger you took it; by 1989 the person who used such words was not tolerated by the University or the Black students. Now that's progress!
Today's students have a different perspective of race relations that we did, and our perspective was far different than those first UM pioneers in the 50s and 60s. But we stood on the shoulders of those that came before us, because their influence paved the way for the seats we took. We must use our influence to pave the way for today's students, though our commitment to them in time, service, and money.
Rule 4
Don't just give money. Be visible. Go to alum functions; go to football and basketball games. Volunteer to mentor a student. Provide internship opportunities at your job or business. The ability to help another person's life turn out better is real power. Call your friends who went to school with you and encourage them to make their power and influence felt at your alma mater. Your network is your net worth.
Rule 5
Give out of love, not obligation. I appreciate UM for the opportunities and relationships it provided me. I choose to give to the university because I love the young people I may never meet, and relish the opportunity to positively influence the outcome of their lives. I encourage you, as fellow alums, to do the same. It is a blessing to be able to help others, and UM has helped me provide that blessing. Being a contributing member of UM alumni community has also has provided numerous financial opportunities and unforgettable memories.
But if you are reading this and weren't lucky enough to have gone to the University of Maryland, I am sure that there is an educational institution that helped you (or could have), and the students there could use your help. These rules still apply.
The easiest way to get involved and implement these rules is to reach out to fellow alum that you see working hard for the university and ask how you can be of service. Other than that go to homecoming next year and experience what you helped to create.

The Four Types of Wealth to Leave your Heirs – You are Richer than you Think
Posted by managerofwealth in finance, money on January 8, 2014
You may not consider yourself wealthy but if you are reading this chances are you have more true wealth than you can even imagine. In addition, you have an opportunity few will ever know, the opportunity to pass on four types of limitless wealth to your heirs. To pass on this wealth you must be purposeful in the legacy you leave, because if you are not you will pass on poverty and hardship to future generations, even if than is not your intention.
For the purposes of this article let us define wealth as a perpetual passive stream of income that meets all of your needs, most of your wants, and allows you to pass on a legacy of wealth for the next generation.
Now that we have defined what wealth is let's discuss the for different types of wealth and how to build them, enjoy them and leave them for the next generation.
The first type of wealth are your CORE Wealth or Human Wealth.
Core assets are your Values, your Health, your Character, Family, Talents, Habits, Spirituality, and Heritage. It would be impossible for you to be where you are now with out these core assets. Teaching your children how to be happy, healthy, and loving human beings is essential to their prosperity. People who do not enjoy the benefits of being well endowed in these areas rarely find happiness because they are totally disconnected from any core values and family.
The next area of wealth is your Intellectual or Wisdom Assets.
This includes your knowledge, Education, Skills, Systems, Ideas, Methods, Experiences, Reputation and Traditions. It is important for the current generation to teach the next generation how they became successful. Most financial wealth comes from systems, methodology, and connections. People often remark that people from certain families or members of certain groups seem to find success so easy, but that is intellectual wealth in action. To build this wealth make sure the next generation knows what you know. Write it down and pass it on. Mentor the next generation so they can skip some of the struggle and build on a more firm foundation. Do not send your heirs out into the world to start for scratch to prove a point. I have seen my community do this with its children and in the end it killed the wealth of the entire family because time, energy and money was wasted because there was no one to carry on the family legacy.
The next type of wealth is Financial Wealth or the Material wealth.
This includes your Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds, Cash, and other possessions. It is important to note that this type of wealth is just the things not the means to acquire the things. It is because so much focus is placed on this area of wealth that it is said wealth never last more than three generations. Become a student of the wealthy and what they do with their money. Forget about the stock market and all the crazy risk that poor people take. The wealthy use simple income protected and insured method to preserve their well for centuries to come. There are billions of dollars in family trust that can never be squandered because it was built properly.
The last area of Wealth is your Contribution Wealth or Civic/Social Wealth.
This wealth includes your Taxes, Charities, Time/Talents, Family Foundations, and donating your wisdom to others in need. These good works and giving to the community at large keeps you connected to the wealth of the entire community which ultimately benefits you and your family. Not passing on a tradition of giving and contributing to the community lowers your standing in the community. Make giving apart of your children's lives. Attend and support charity events that align with your values. Feed the hungry and cloth the naked. Don't wait until you have millions, do it right now.
Core wealth, Intellectual wealth, Financial wealth, and Civic wealth put together almost certainly assure a person will have a wealthy life and each area provides an ongoing passive stream of riches that will allow you to meet all of your needs, most of your wants and leave and even greater legacy to the next generation.
Look at the great families in your community and around the country and you will see them operating in all four of these areas. You will see that their wealth is never depleted because they have passed on much more than money.
If you had to give up one area of wealth and keep the other three, it would be wisest to give up the Financial Wealth because with the other three types of wealth you could get your money back in a very short time.

Dunlop should just go back to making tires.
I wholeheartedly believe in business evolution. If you can't keep up with the changes and be innovative in the current year and not relapse like it's 1990, maybe you shouldn't be around anymore.
What is wrong with you ... babolat makes awful racquets ( IMO ) especially if you have arm issues, they're hollow pieces of junk that haven't made a significant change wince 2009 if not farther back than that, wilson has awful quality control and head ... well i enjoy head, dunlop makes wonderful racquets and has been proven that their shark skin tech does help the racquet accelerate faster through the air, you obviously just love the big brands because they're big and not for any other good reason ....

Green IT – Magpie Helps Customer Tendril Achieve Strong Results for Energy Industry
Magpie provides energy solutions provider, Tendril, with the expertise they needed to advance their leading energy management solution.
"We are extremely happy with the quality talent that Magpie has been able to lend to our engineering effort," said
Magpie began by assisting Tendril in the development of a Demand Response Load Control (DRLC) add-on to the Tendril Residential Energy Ecosystem (TREE). The add-on enables customers to participate in smart energy conservation programs by allowing their utility to send events to smart energy compliant devices in their home requesting that they lower their energy consumption. The customer is then given choices. They may opt out of the event if they wish or take advantage of the lower consumption charges.
Magpie has also participated in the development of the TREE server and the consumer and utility portals. Magpie will help define and implement new core TREE features going forward. Magpie develops software using an iterative development technique known as Agile. This Agile method has brought clearer vision to the project and is helping Tendril get the product to market quicker.
"Tendril's emphasis on consumer-oriented energy management has meshed well with Magpie's goals of developing the best user experience possible for consumer software applications," said Chris Bricker CIO of Magpie. "We've really enjoyed working with the people at Tendril, their adoption of industry-standard software development architectures along with their use of Agile development methodologies has allowed the Magpie team to get up to speed and contribute in a short time frame."

Despite the appearance of multiple key-date coins from many series in our sales, this date is not such a coin. Virtually every Heritage Signature sale has multiple examples of the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, the 1909-S V.D.B. cent, the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, the 1893-S dollar, the 1911-D quarter eagle, and other rarities. For example, take a look through the present sale for these dates and others, and undoubtedly multiple examples of each will be found. However, the 1921 double eagle is too rare to fit the category of multiple opportunities. In fact, the last time we offered an example of this date was in November 2005 (in which we did have multiple examples), and in January 2005 before that. We have only offered this date 34 times in all of our sales dating to January 1993, only two or three examples per year.
This example is a brilliant, frosty, and lustrous representative with a few light surface marks on each side. All of the design elements on each side are nicely detailed. Light yellow-gold color is accented by specks of toning. The overall eye appeal is excellent, despite the grade limiting marks.

Football: Hoeness attends first Bayern match since conviction
Published on Mar 30, 2014 12:03 AM
BERLIN (AFP) - Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness made his first public appearance since being convicted of tax fraud, when he watched the European champions host Hoffenheim in the German league on Saturday.
"Uli is always very welcome here with us," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told German daily Bild.
Hoeness was sentenced to three and a half years in prison by Munich's regional court a fortnight ago when he was found guilty of cheating the state out of 28.5 million euros (S$49.3 million) in unpaid taxes.
The 62-year-old resigned as Bayern's president and chairman of the club's supervisory board less than 24 hours after being convicted and Saturday's match was his first appearance in public as he waits to begin his sentence next month.

In a Village Voice review of 16 jerk chicken places in Flatbush (where there are an estimated 50 places that serve the dish), Exquisite Express was named the best. The corner storefront shines like a beacon at the iconic corner of Nostrand and Church on the frontier of East Flatbush, with flames leaping up from the gas-fired grill. The crew is rollicking as they cut up your jerk chicken with a machete, and then offer you two sauces to go on it. Jerk chicken is one of the greatest accomplishments of Jamaican cooking, a barbecued bird coated with herbs, spices, and other flavorings – which can include allspice, thyme, bay leaf, lime juice, soy sauce, and rum. It was supposedly invented by Arawak Indians, who first devised the technique of rubbing butchered wild boars with a spice rub and roasting them in pits lined with pimento wood. Order the fritter called festival to go with your serving of jerk chicken at Exquisite Express. --Robert Sietesma

This is my brief rebuttal to Linda Beale's response to my post Tax Lies Some Left Wing Bloggers Like to Ignore.
The Charge that I"Manufactured" the Story About Bernie Sanders' Tax Lie
Tax Blogger Linda Beale doesn't like the fact that I pointed out that an independent fact checking organization determined that left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders misled the public about the state of ExxonMobil's taxes.
She claims that I am merely manufacturing the story to score points against liberals:
All in all, Pappas' chagrin at the "misleading" nature of Sanders' talk seems manufactured. Anybody reading the speech would have been quite clear that this was a discussion of federal income taxes.
Anybody except PolitiFact, that is.
Beale is on very thin ice here.
I didn't independently conclude that Bernie Sanders misled the public about Exxon's tax payments. In fact, I assumed that his figures were correct.
What I did do – nearly one year later – was report what PolitiFact – an organization owned, operated and funded by the The St. Petersburg Times, one of America's most left-leaning newspapers – concluded about Mr. Sander's claims.
Consequently, if Ms. Beale believes that I manufactured the charge that Bernie Sanders misstated the truth, wouldn't she also have to believe that PolitiFact manufactured the charge? And if Ms. Beale truly believes that Mr. Sander's accusations about Exxon are accurate, shouldn't she immediately take the issue up with PolitiFact since it was my source?
If Ms. Beale does challenge PolitiFact's determination that Sanders misstated the facts and the determination is retracted, I will happily publish the retraction here.
Until then, I am sticking with PolitiFact's extant determination because I am confident that it, of all the fact-checking organizations, would not have concluded that Mr. Sander's accusations about Exxon were false had it not done substantial research and determined them to actually be false.¹
Why Doesn't Ms. Beale Accuse PolitiFact of Manufacturing a Story about Sanders?
Having said that, I understand completely why Ms. Beale has chosen to criticize me rather than PolitiFact.
She and other liberals often cite PolitiFact's conclusions as proof that Republicans lie. Consequently, were they to openly criticize PolitiFact for concluding that a left-winger like Bernie Sanders had lied, they would cast doubt on those instances when PolitiFact concluded that a right-winger had lied.
Even though Ms. Beale has artfully avoiding criticizing PolitiFact it is clear that she considers that organization to be useful only when it reveals the lies of her political opponents. When it reveals the lies of someone with whom she agrees, it's conclusions must be dismissed and marginalized.
Thus, despite Ms. Beale's strident rhetoric against tax lies, my original point is confirmed: She is less concerned with promoting truth in the tax debate than she is with advancing her own progressive agenda. Anyone who is opposed to that agenda is persona non grata and must be discredited.
How does she discredit them? By calling them heartless, greedy, selfish people who want to make poor people suffer.
The fact that I refuse to tolerate this"Rules for Radicals" nonsense, and that I ridicule it whenever I see it, does not make me a member of the right-wing fringe.
Finally, accusing me of manufacturing a story about a left-wing tax lie simply because I published a left-wing fact-checking organization's conclusion to that effect is bit like boxing the ears of the postman who delivers bad news.
The Charge that I Engage in Ad Hominem Attacks
Amaxingly, Ms. Beale has the audacity to accuse me of engaging in personal insults:
[Pappas] also tends to engage in ad hominem attacks on left-wing bloggers–yours truly being a frequent honoree.
It is true that I have called Ms. Beale a true believer, hateful and a liberal. If those are ad hominem attacks, I plead guilty.
But they aren't ad hominem attacks because they accurately describe her views:
- Ms. Beale hates the tea partiers and has said as much on the pages of her own blog;²
- Ms. Beale is a true believer in the cause of wealth redistribution and hyper-progressive taxation and regularly writes blog posts on the subject; and
- Ms. Beale is a liberal and she wears the label proudly.
Calling Ms. Beale something that she embraces does not an ad hominem attack make.
Moreover, someone who repeatedly makes the accusation that those of us who believe that taxes are too high and government too large have no other goal than to see poor people suffer, should not be scolding others for the alleged use of ad hominem attacks.
When I think of Ms. Beale (and other true-believers, both left and right) I am reminded of a poem by the great Scottish Poet, Robert Burns:
O' what a gift the giftee gi'e us
To see ourselves as others see us
¹ There is good reason to believe that PolitiFact is biased in favor of Democratic and liberal candidates. Consequently, when it accuses a stalwart liberal like Bernie Sanders of lying it's more credible than had The Wall Street Journal or The National Review made the accusation. I am quite certain that PolitiFact would not have done it had they not been pretty certain that Mr. Sanders fibbed.
² Ms. Beale has accused the tea partiers of wanting to destroy the American economy so that rich folks could get more rich while poor people die by the wayside. That sounds like hatred to me. To be honest, if she truly believes that about them, she is right to hate them. But my saying that Ms. Beale hates people who want to bring about the destruction of America and it's underclass is not an ad hominem attack, but rather, a compliment. If I believed that about the tea partiers, I would hate them, too.

The worlds of technologists and journalists are coming together, as reporting goes digital and Internet companies becomes media empires. Journalists call themselves "hacks", someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code.Hacker-journalists try to bridge these two worlds.
But not all hacks can be hackers, and not all hackers can be hacks.
The launch of Hacks/Hackers, Nairobi Chapter onAugust 7th,6pm at the iHub Nairobi brings these two worlds will together. (Register Here)
HacksHackers brings together everyone who is working to help ordinary citizens make sense of their world. It is for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualise information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload and the collapse of traditional business models for legacy media, their work has become even more crucial.
TheAfrican Media Initiative (AMI), the continent's largest umbrella association of media owners, recognises this and is spearheading the establishment of a network of 20 HacksHackers chapters across Africa to bring together pioneers for collaborative projects and new ventures.
The Nairobi meetup will take place at iHUB, at 6pm on August 7, in partnership with the Code4Kenya open data initiative, the Pawa254 journalism incubator and the Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE).
Empowering Ordinary Citizens
Ory Okollohhelped change the way that Africans monitor elections and politicians when she cofounded the Ushahidicrisis-mapping platformand theMzalendowebsite that tracks the performance of Kenyan Members ofParliamentin 2007.
She is currently Google's manager for policy and government relations in Africa.
Okolloh will share ideas and feedback on new ideas from HacksHackers members for empowering ordinary citizens in the run-up to the next Kenyan elections. This will include discussion, during an "open mike" session, about new civic technologies, open data, and mobile platform opportunities for the media and other civic watchdogs.
The talk is the 2nd in a series of civic brainstorming sessions and Code4Democracy hackathons planned by+Hacks/Hackers Africa's network of chapters in Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda & Zambia. Join the umbrellaG+orFacebook pages if you want to be kept informed, or sign-up at HacksHackers Nairobi's gGroup.
HacksHackers Nairobi chapter members will also showcase some of their own project proposals to the $1m+African News Innovation Challengeand will strategise about which common resources and civic media projects should be prioritised as collaborative ventures for the chapter.
Other AMI digital initiatives include thewww.AfricanNewsChallenge.org, Code4Kenya, the AMI Prototype Fund, and Code4Democracy partnerships.

Strange engine noise and oil light flickering on idle

Just another data point:
I recently bought a 30k mile 04 950 and rode it back from SLC to Austin, TX. It had only 500 miles on the oil change using motorex 10w-50, when I left SLC. When started cold, it would do the typical rattle until the CCT built up pressure, then it sounded like any other LC8. Thing was, once that oil got warmed up well, it started rattling pretty bad, along with a flickering oil light. Not as bad as in the video, but enough that it made me quite uneasy, especially having to ride the bike thousands of miles home.
The light and sounds would pretty much always go away when revved to about 2500.. but I did get the feeling it was tied to oil temp. Cooler oil = less revs required to quiet things down. Sometimes the clutch would even be really grabby after a hot start.
I get the bike home, and install the updated pressure regulator assembly (not just the piston), and new cam chains because mine were only measuring ~4mm at the cover screw. Along with fresh oil, I haven't seen the oil pressure light once (when actually running), and the idle is MUCH quieter. The CCT plugs still measured less than 7mm so I'm going to get guides and install them at some point in the future..
For now my impression is that the issue is tied to oil temp.
One other interesting detail.. when I had the big clutch/timing cover off to pull the balance shaft, there was a very large aluminum shaving in the sump below the suction (flat) screen. The color of it suggests that it has been there a while (exact same darker aluminum color as the cast, unmachined parts of the engine case under the clutch cover). And I couldn't find any place under the clutch or stator cover it came from through scraping or contact. Besides, it looks just like an aluminum shaving from a machining process. It would seem this was left over from production and only got dislodged and flushed out when the engine started running.. between that and the frequency of casting sand being in the cooling ports makes me thing KTM wasn't that diligent about cleaning the engine cases before assembly.

Is it safe to drink grapefruit juice with oxycodone (or any opiates for that matter)? I read somewhere that if you drink grapefruit juice while taking OC that it will stop it from being metabolized in your liver, hence making it last longer in ur system and lower your tolerance to how much you have to take. Basically what i am saying is that Grapefruit juice will enhance the effects of Oxycodone? Is this statment true to any degree. please give me some info or personal beliefs im open to all opinions

I use this site, http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs/1,4109,,00.html, to check for interactions, because it will check drug/drug reactions, drugs/herbal supplement, drug/vitamin, and drug/food&beverage reactions.
Nothing comes up for Oxy with grapefruit juice. I am taking Oxy and while I have spent a lot of time researching it, I have never found mention of a reaction.
You will get that kind of reaction with some other drugs, such as some antidepressants, but it does not usually occur with most pain meds.
For instance, if I do a search to check my Oxycodone and Zoloft on there, I get this for the Zoloft and Grapefruit juice:
"SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE (in Zoloft) may interact with GRAPEFRUIT JUICE
Sertraline is broken down in the body by the liver. Grapefruit may interfere with the liver's ability to break down the sertraline, causing sertraline to remain in the body for a longer period of time. This could cause an increase in both the intended effect and the side effects of sertraline including nausea, dizziness, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Patients taking sertraline should avoid any type of grapefruit including its juice, the fruit itself, and any supplements that may contain grapefruit. You may drink other types of juices with sertraline. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.
This interaction is poorly documented and is considered moderate in severity.
Last Updated: June 2005"
So it isn't even a severe reaction and isn't really proven, it is just a possibility.
So you don't need to worry about it with the Oxy.
2 Feb 2010
I am not sure about oxycodone but I know that there is a counter action between grapefruit juice and methadone. I can only think that as an opiate there is a similar result. I think the interaction will make the effects of the"oxy" greater and possible dangerous. Caution should be exercised anytime the is even a question of interaction, be careful, safety first.

Can't anybody here play this game?Submitted by BronxGoblin on Fri, 09/13/2013 - 13:08.
In 1963, after a particularly frustrating comedy of errors led to another Mets loss, skipper Casey Stengel uttered those infamous words; "Can't anybody here play this game?"
Back on Aug. 25h, after taking two of three from the Bronx Bombers, Tampa Bay was sitting pretty ... and if they knew the Yankees were going to lose four of the next five, they might have ended things there and then!
Even finishing .500 from that point would have probably done the job - but no, Tampa went into the kind of spiraling collapses which will ensure they never get the kind of gate necessary to make that town a viable attendance draw for the foreseeable future.
Then Baltimore had their chance (no) - then Cleveland had THEIR chance (no), and with the lightest schedule, their road to gold is the widest.
But after last night's Yankee win, even with the news of Derek's season mercifully over, and with Mariano having a career high in blown saves (forgivable at 43), he still leads the league in saves and has less blown ones than the Baltimore reliever with whom he is tied, and where are the Yankees? They are tied in the win column but with two more losses in two more games played, leaving them one game behind in in the second wild card.
But the Yankees have October experience out the wazoo, and Mariano told Joe to burn out his arm if necessary because this season is IT!
So. miracle of miracles, the Yankees are back in it - and the ghost of Casey Stengel is emailing the rest of the contenders with those famous words!
But make no mistake about it - Neither Oakland nor Boston are cakewalks, and Texas at home is still dangerous!
Fan: AL should add a third wildcard teamSubmitted by Matt on Thu, 09/12/2013 - 12:21.
Yankees fan and banana enthusiast Porter Willingsford has decided that MLB, and specifically the American League, should consider adding a third wildcard team for the playoffs.
"3 is a lucky number." Said Porter. "And there's no other reason at all I think there should be a third team. None whatsoever. Zilch."
As it stands now, the wildcard would go to Texas and Tampa. The Yankees are right behind one game back. Adding a third spot would mean the Yankees get in.
"What? Really? Why I had no idea. Oh well, that's cool I guess."
With 16 games to go, buckle up for an exciting finish.
Fan wanted Girardi to pull out his guns and show Showalter "whats up"Submitted by BronxGoblin on Wed, 09/11/2013 - 01:14.
Meet Jersey Steve.
Jersey Steve is a self proclaimed tough guy who loves to start fights.
"I walked into a cupcake place one time and told them their frosting sucks. That pissed them off and it got me into a fight. I love that. I am an adult and I still start fights. It is great. People look up to me for doing it, I think. I go to the gym and take HGH to make me abs look so tough."
So when asked what he thought of the little disagreement last night between Showalter and Giradi he replied.
"Girardi has some big muscles like me. I think Joe should have shown Buck what is up and he should have bucked him up. You get me?"
We are not sure if Girardi was desparate, but the Yankees are losing ground and their chances at making the playoffs.
We will have to wait and see.

Fan bets Yankees won't win again this yearSubmitted by BronxGoblin on Wed, 09/11/2013 - 00:57.
A Yankees fan is betting that the Yankees will not win another game this year after seeing the last few games. Brody Billins loves to bet especially if he knows he has a good shot at losing whatever he is betting.
"I once bet that the sun wasn't going to come up one day. Lost that bet. Another time I bet that the news would come out and say that cigarettes were good for you. Lost that one too."
He has since searched for other places to bet.
"I found one guy in an ally. I also looked online for bookies. I will look anywhere I can. Turn up stones. Look under them. You know, whatever."
It is unclear if his bet will pan out, but we will keep you posted.
Let's hope the Yankees can pull out a few wins and make a run at the playoffs. No guarantees.

Footsteps from the past!Submitted by BronxGoblin on Thu, 09/05/2013 - 14:20.
In the halcyon days of Yankee history (and that includes the late 90s too), all (we) had to do was throw our gloves on the field and teams would fold like the day's laundry!
So what does it say when ... even without a super winning streak, Tampa Bay starts playing like the June - July - August Yankees, and all it seemed to take was the team getting back it's basic starting team just in time for the final charge.
Wow! They are 2-9 since the Yankee series.
I mentioned several times how just playing .500 ball would make them all but uncatchable but, hehe, they don't read this blog!
So Tampa has to hope the Red Sox (who definitely don't want to see the Yankees in the post season), can help them out. But, failing that, they still have three remaining head to head games with us. But they are in New York where Tampa should not expect the close calls, and drilling any Yankee batters may require rescue by the riot squad!
Then there is Baltimore, but a careful high wire dance step is required because Tampa's best hope is for a down the middle split of those games.
Alfonso has played well above his seasonal stats, and now so has Reynolds. And make a mistake against either one of them promises to get you another ball toseed in by the umpire! Combined, I would say that makes up for the loss of Tex this season (except for defense, which is clearly deficient vs Tex's).
Mariano has now got to deal with the (retirement) renege speculations because, quite simply, he continues to defy his birth certificate. All Yankee fans are glad he has tied Hoffman's MLB record for 9 seasons of 40 or more saves - it is so fitting that he did so.
It's now down to three in the loss column, and Tampa knows its whole season might come down to three lousy games at the big ballpark in the Bronx.
Fan liked Hughes pitching performanceSubmitted by BronxGoblin on Wed, 09/04/2013 - 02:31.
It is always good when the Yankees win and Phil Hughes is on the mound. The only problem with this situation is that Hughes didn't really pitch much of the game.
A rain delay caused his early departure, but that was alright with one fan.
"The guy isn't Kevin Youkilis. He can't do anything right. We want anyone but Hughes in." added Arnold Tricycle Jones.
And that is what happened. Hughes barely pitched so the Yankees were able to get a win. The Yankees are looking to get wins anyway they can, and that is exactly what happened.
They need each game from here on out.

"Mene Mene Tekel Upharson"Submitted by BronxGoblin on Fri, 08/30/2013 - 00:57.
The subject (if you've never heard it or heard of it before) are the famous words from the old testament (Daniel) that down through the years has become known as "The handwriting on the wall".
Translation - if we can't win even with our ace on the mound, then how are we gonna play the .700 ball almost necessary now to steal even the second wild card?
J. Happ has personally tried to dismember our team this year, and how has he been paid back, other than sucking as a pitcher?
Take a lesson from history - In the days when the pitcher batted, you would think that made it easier to drill him. But the fact that he would take a stance with one foot halfway back to the dugout made him not so easy a target.
The late Tommy Tresh showed us how it's done! Even with a five run lead, this power hitter bunted up the first base line such that only the pitcher could play it because the 1B was naturally playing deep. And when he fielded it, Tresh would run out of the baseline and drill the S.O.B. so hard in the collision, the 2B could field him!
Knowing exactly what was what, the umpires in those days recognized payback and ejected the offending player without warning - - - but you CAN'T eject the message that was conveyed!
In 1972 playoffs, and it was an ugly incident, make no mistake about it, Bert Campaneris was doing so well against Detroit that Billy Martin ordered him drilled with a pitch. Hindsight proves that Billy was often prone to do this, justifying it by "necessity to win" standards.
But Bert KNEW it was intentional (even if only in his own mind) and he whipped his bat at Detroit pitcher Lerrin LaGrow - and I mean he WHIPPED it - it could've seriously hurt him!
Naturally Martin had to be physically restrained! Campy was suspended, but too late for Detroit to do anything except watch Oakland go on to win the 1972 World Series!
BUT, no one ever threw at Campy's head again!
Fly on the Wall...Submitted by BronxGoblin on Mon, 08/26/2013 - 00:42.
Tampa Bay locker room earlier on Sunday:
"Listen guys, we don't give a rat's tail about Cleveland or Baltimore, right now! We need to bury these Yankees while we can, before they realize that "not" throwing high & tight would curtail all the homers several of us in the A.L. have been using to feast upon them.
Longoria here has homered six times off them, and against six different pitchers, including Mariano, this season. I'm sure Chris Davis in Baltimore and that Klingon Cabrera in Detroit have also feasted because they knew the Yankees would pitch them low instead of high & tight.
So we must bury them ourselves, end their season, and let Detroit take care of Cleveland. Ironically, the Yankees will help us vs Baltimore.
This kid Nova can pitch anywhere from nearly untouchable to being relieved in the 5th, but if he is beating us low, let's hit them at Nunez, who hasn't fielded ten in a row cleanly, all year! Overbay is also over-rated on D at first base, so there are two avenues to exploit.
As the game gets late, our bullpen is a good match with theirs, no problems there, and we have the hammer.
All we need to do is stay out of double plays and we should sweep them right out of Florida!"
The Yankees, as if they needed this, will finally lose to Toronto, in Toronto next week. That's just by the laws of averages.
How they can possibly recover is anybody's guess, but it will almost certainly require folds from two other teams, and Tampa Bay has served notice that they will not be one of them!
So how is the Home Run race doing? As of 8/25...
Maris 50, Mantle 46, Davis 46 so far ...
Back to tragic number?
Tampa Bay, at Sunday's beginning of play, is now in FIRST PLACE! Boston is percentage points behind, though in a virtual tie.

DALLAS – Jonas Hiller was passed over. Not once. Not twice. Many times.
The net was no longer his and games for the Ducks to clinch the Pacific Division and the top seed in the Western Conference in the final week went to John Gibson and Frederik Andersen. The No. 1 goalie for five seasons was suddenly No. 3.
Hiller might have moved back up the Ducks' goalie depth chart Sunday night. The seven-year veteran relieved a shaky Andersen in the second period and stopped all 12 Dallas shots he faced to allow his team to hang around.
And when his teammates pulled off a miraculous rally in Game 6 and won 5-4 on Nick Bonino's dramatic overtime goal to eliminate the Stars, Hiller was wearing a broad smile in the dressing room.
"It was a little more special for me, I guess," Hiller said. "At the end, it's a great feeling to kind of find a way to win. Sometimes you kind of not really believe in it yourself.
"I thought I had a couple of good stops right there when I came in, which gave me some confidence. I kind of never looked back from there."
Hiller's erratic play down the stretch opened the door for Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau to opt for Andersen to open the playoffs. Andersen was 20-5 during the regular season and had better goals-against and save percentage numbers.
Moreover, Andersen had performed well in tough situations, one of them being a 27-save effort to win a shootout against the Kings after he recovered from a head injury.
The fact that Boudreau stayed with Andersen after the rookie struggled in a Game 4 loss to Dallas might have lost Hiller for good. But the veteran didn't phase himself out.
"I say it's to his character," Boudreau said. "I think our whole team has got tremendous character but you're right, he could have (checked out). A starter his whole life and now he's relegated to the bench for some young rookie could have done that.
"But I thought (goalie coach) Dwayne Roloson did a tremendous job with him, talking to him every day, building him up, working him hard so he was ready and it wasn't just sitting in the corner waiting to mop up."
Hiller, who hasn't started a game since April 6, said the process to remain mentally sharp hasn't been easy.
"I definitely had days when I go, 'Oh, hockey sucks or whatever,'" he said. "And then you come to the rink. At the end, I think we have a great group of guys here. They're always kind of helping each other out.
"And, yeah, it's just fun to come to the dressing room. It's kind of impossible to be miserable around the guys."
Now Boudreau is faced with another tough call. Go back to Andersen and keep him confident or give the playoff-tested Hiller the net and let him run with it.
