Harlem Pizza Co.March 17Pizza • Manhattan, United States
Very fresh ingredients. Loved it!
They make their fancy cocktails very well, but don't try to order something regular you might ask for. Like the a good ole dirty martini!!
While the ambience and staff are very satisfactory, the food is so not! $16 for literally 2 runny eggs on a challah bread, is not cool at all. Tasteless burger. Very disappointing food.
Very cute little spot. Not good for big groups. Very good quality food and really nice staff.
Always packed, but very tasty food. Try the pesto omlette. Yum.
As a vegetarian, best Ethiopian food in the city.
Absolutely delicious pumpkin panzenella salad! Just a tad small portion. But that should not stop you from ordering it!
Never going back! Just an overall bad e experience. Mediocre food, grumpy server, desperate hosts. Chelsea had better places than this.
Everything is mediocre in this place, sadly. They renovated the space and its very clean. If you know the area, this place can be skipped!
Frisky Whiskey is the perfect summer cocktail!
They are the best, friendliest, cheerful, energetic and down to earth bunch of instructors.

43 year old man | Easthampton, MA, USA | Seeking women 25-36 within 50 miles
fun days....full of love and simple pleasures....
-Well, if I can drive downtown in my jammies and slippers to get milk and eggs, I guess I can do this. Hi, my name is Al and I'm a very affectionate, caring and loyal person - maybe it's a Sicilian thing? While my family and two boys are the center of my world, I've been blessed to have a good group of close, very long-term friends in my life that I love dearly. Maybe because most of my family is overseas, my friendships are important to me and, with that said, I enjoy making people feel special and good about themselves. I also love to be quite silly and laugh but I can also hold down a fairly intelligent conversation. Moreover, I'm a very laid-back but warm, easy-to-get-along-with, open minded and extremely nonjudgemental guy who enjoys the everyday normal activities as well as trying new ones. I try to keep a good mix of activities on my daily and weekly agenda. Whether it's looking forward every night to enjoying a book I'm reading or going on a day trip with the family for the weekend, I need to have something to look forward to. Finally, I'm not into drama and gossip, nor snobs and bossy people - and I'm definitely not into morose and negative characters! You have to learn from the bad times and not wallow in them. It took much of my teens and most of my twenties to learn to have a positive spirit and to live in the moment, enjoying the small things as well as the big things - and I'm not going back! All things said, I guess I'm pretty much looking for the same qualities in my future sweetheart.

Retailers cannot afford to disenfranchise customers.
If you haven't launched a mobile commerce site yet, check your logs. You are going to see a clear trend.
Two years ago at Dungarees.net, 1% of traffic coming to the work apparel and accessories merchant's e-commerce site stemmed from smartphones. Last year mobile traffic increased to 4%. And this year it's reached 8%. The retailer just launched an m-commerce site to meet its customers where they are shopping.
Two years ago at The Finish Line Inc., 3% of the merchant's web traffic stemmed from mobile devices. It launched a mobile commerce site in 2010 and mobile jumped to 9%. Today 14% of the apparel and accessories retailer's web visitors shop the m-commerce site.
Six months ago at Computer Geeks, also known as Geeks.com, mobile traffic stood at 10%. Today 14% of its total web shoppers use the computers and accessories merchant's nine-month-old m-commerce site.
The all-important holiday season is just a month away. The number of mobile visitors to your site will jump even more as holiday shoppers are on the go, beyond busy, and turning to their smartphones for help.
If you don't have the mobile talent in-house, seek out a vendor. Many of these technology providers can create and launch an m-commerce site in just a few weeks—in time for the holidays.
Do you think Dungarees.net can afford to disenfranchise 8% of its shoppers? Finish Line and Geeks.com 14%? Of course not. So look at your logs today. According to an Internet Retailer estimate, mobile commerce is a more than $9 billion a year business. Having an m-commerce site is no longer an option—it's a must.
Sites easy for mobile shoppers to use are clean, simple and well-organized. And they load ...

The autumn edition of the London International Teams stayed at the Melton Mowbray pub and again on a Saturday, but this time the teams had five players.

Due to some scammers using our britgo.org domain name a few weeks ago we've been having some problems with people trying to contact us and various people through our website. This also applies to registrations to the London Open this year.

Jitka Bartova (1d) was visiting the UK from Prague for a weekend with her friend Ngoc-Trang Cao who is a current member of Leamington Club.
The UK representative at the 2014 KPMC was Andrew Kay. He won three games out of six to come 33rd.
The Shropshire Tournament took place in the countryside again. Numbers were somewhat down, with several cancellations on health grounds, but there was more competition this year at the top end. The overall winner was Bruno Poltronieri (3d) with Alistair Wall (2d) in second place.
After much delay we have finally found some dates when we have (a) two players, (b) a venue and (c) at least one relayer/referee for the title match of the British Go Championship 2014.
National Youth Squad members will have received invitations to join the junior online club which will meet on Sunday evenings 8:00 - 9:00 pm. This will use a private room on the KGS server. The aim is for junior squad members who live a long way from other players to be able to meet and play with other juniors in a dedicated online club room.
The Learn Go Week event in Stevenage went pretty smoothly, with some great support from Letchworth Go Club and the BGA.

The present invention relates to a dispenser for tablets, comprising a drawer element having a through going opening for the accommodation of just one tablet, which drawer element may be displaced along a narrow sidewall of a box shaped housing. A partition parallel with said sidewall bars the inlet of the opening when the dispenser is operated, and an opening serves as a dispensing opening when the drawer is displaced to align its through-going opening with the dispensing opening. The ends of the drawer are closed by trough shaped shells, the shell at the one end being at its end opposite the drawer hinged to the housing, and being at its end adjacent to the drawer hinged to the drawer, and the end of the housing adjacent to the hinged shell being obliquely cut, so that the narrow side of the housing adjacent to the hinge hinging the shell to the housing is longer than the narrow sidewall forming the sliding surface for the drawer.
1. A dispenser for tablets, comprising a box-shaped housing having a first and a second narrow side wall, a first and a second broad side wall, a first and a second open end, a partition parallel with the first and second narrow side walls, a drawer element displaceable between the second narrow side wall and the partition, wherein the partition bars an inlet to a through-going opening of the drawer element when the dispenser is operated, and the second narrow side wall has an opening serving as a dispensing opening when the through-going opening of the drawer element aligns with this opening during operation of the dispenser, a first and a second trough-shaped shell closing the first and second open ends of the box-shaped housing, respectively, wherein the first trough-shaped shell is rigidly secured to the box-shaped housing and the trough-shaped second shell, having a first and a second end, which is hinged at the first end to the box-shaped housing and is hinged at the second end to the drawer element, wherein the second open end of the box-shaped housing is obliquely cut so that the first narrow side wall adjacent to the hinging of the second shell to the housing is longer than the second narrow side wall.
This application is a continuation of PCT/DK92/00361 filed Dec. 2, 1992, which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to dispensers for dispensing tablets one at a time from the dispenser wherein the tablets are stored in an unarranged way.
2. Description of Related Art
Dispensers are known wherein tablets are guided into a drawer which has no fixed bottom, but wherein the bottom is formed by a wall along which the drawer may be displaced. The drawer is so dimensioned that it may accommodate exactly one tablet. When the dispenser is operated, the drawer is sliding along the bottom wall under a wall covering the open upper side of the drawer so that the cavity of the drawer is barred from the part of the dispenser storing the tablets. When there is no access for further tablets to the drawer, this drawer is during its continued displacement passed over an opening in the bottom wall, through which opening the tablet in the drawer is dispensed.
The drawer is mainly operated by pressing a button forming or being connected to one end of the drawer. However, it is the object of the invention to provide a dispenser which is more easy to operate even by people suffering from reduced tactile motor function.
This is obtained by a dispenser, comprising a drawer element displaceable along a narrow side wall of a box shaped housing wherein a partition parallel with said side wall bars an inlet to a through-going opening in the drawer when the dispenser is operated, and an opening in said side wall serves as a dispensing opening when the dispenser is operated, which dispenser according to the invention is characterized in that the ends of the housing perpendicular to the direction of movement for the drawer are closed by trough shaped shells, the shell at one end of the housing being at its end opposite the drawer hinged to the housing and being at its end adjacent to the drawer hinged to the drawer, and the end of the housing adjacent to the hinged shell being obliquely cut, so that the narrow side of the housing adjacent to the hinge hinging the shell to the housing is longer than the narrow side wall forming the bottom of the drawer.
Such a dispenser may be grasped by the entire hand and be operated by tightening the grasp.
According to the invention, the housing may be made of a transparent material, and the trough shaped shells may be made of an opaque material. Thereby it is made possible to inspect the stock of tablets through the transparent part of the housing which is not covered by the sides of the trough shaped shells.
The invention will now be explained with reference to the drawing, wherein
FIG. 1 shows a sectional side view of a tablet dispenser in its neutral position,
FIG. 2 shows a sectional view as in FIG. 1 with the dispenser in its dispensing position, and
FIG. 3 shows a sectional view along the line III--III in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 shows a tablet dispenser comprising a housing 1 having opposite open ends each closed by a trough shaped shell 2 and 4, the side walls 3 of the shells covering the walls of the housing so that only a narrow stripe of the housing walls is exposed along the middle of the housing. If the housing is manufactured from a transparent material, this stripe will appear as an inspection window, through which the stock of tablets may be inspected.
One of the shells 2 is welded or glued to the housing 1, whereas the other shell 4 is fixed to the housing by a shaft 5 about which the shell 4 may be rotated, the housing 1 and the shell 4 being appropriately bevelled to allow a limited rotational movement of the shell 4 fitted with its sidewalls 3 over the end of the housing.
At its lower end the housing 1 is provided with an internal partition delimiting a channel 11 receiving a drawer element 7 which is at its one end fixed to the movable shell 4 by a hinge 14, and at its other end acted upon by a spring 15 abutting the fixed shell 2, the drawer element and consequently the movable shell 4 being thereby forced into a position defined by a stop element 8 abutting the end of a slot 9 provided in the wall of the housing. In this initial position the bottoms of the shells 2 and 4 will be parallel, and the dispenser will appear with a regular box shaped contour.
The drawer element 7 is provided with a through-going opening 10 having a size just allowing it to accommodate one tablet standing on its edge. In the initial position of the drawer the opening 10 is in alignment with an opening in the partition 6, but is at its other lower end closed by the lower wall of the housing. The opening in the partition 6 is inside the housing surrounded by guiding elements 16 guiding a tablet from the stock in the housing down into the opening 10 in the drawer element 7.
When the lower end of the shell 4 is pressed towards the housing 1, the drawer element 7 is pressed inward in the channel 11, until its through-going opening 10 is aligned with an opening 12 in the lower wall of the housing 1. At this time the tablet 13 in the drawer will drop out through the opening 12. When the shell 4 is released, it will together with the drawer be passed back into its initial position with the now emptied opening 10 lying beneath the opening in the partition 6, and a new tablet will drop into the opening 10 of the drawer element.

Inside we've got some small scoops on two new indie films that you might find of interest. One is called Night, which we'll have a review for soon and the other is called My Demon Within, which is now shooting in CA. We hope to have a set report from that film sometime in February.
In finished film news: We've added a stack of exclusive images for Byron C. Miller's Night, which is now completed. You can check them all out by clicking here.
Here's the synopsis, "Detective Mike Jericho is changing. He stops showing up for work and shuts out the people once important to him. Now, he spends all his time hanging out with his new friends, having fun, and learning how to hunt and kill innocent people. Mike is changing… and his new friends arent quite human. Detective Jimi Cannon is searching. Hes hitting the streets, fiercely looking for his best friend, Mike. Now, Jimi must enter a world of shadows and face off – guns blazing – against an enemy that wont die. Hell do everything he can to save Mike, but it will take more than courage for Jimi to survive the NIGHT!"
The official website for 'Night' can be viewed here.
In upcoming film news: This week a new indie film has been announced and it's called My Demon Within.
Here's the synopsis, "Cyril Bass is a good-hearted loser that works in a thankless corporate job where everyone takes advantage of him. His social life is also a total disaster; he holds a secret crush for his neighbor Callie but cant even muster a hello as they pass in the hallway. He has a very vivid imagination about how hed wreak revenge on everyone thats done him wrong, but his morals and ethics keep those thoughts at bay. Cyril is constantly struggling with his darkest, most sinister side, his own demon. At his worst moment, Demon entices Cyril to release him, promising revenge, fortune, popularity, and any woman of his choosing."
Michael Su's film stars Adam Le Clair, Gary Kasper, Nadine Bernecker. The official website can be found here.

The Mythological Goddess Test
Just like her Celtic equivalent, Artio, Artemis was also called "Mistress of Beasts" and "Goddess of Wild Things." It's not surprising then that she was also considered a Fertility Goddess. What is surprising is that this Fertility Goddess was a perpetual virgin.
The race of warrior women called the Amazons worshipped her as the Goddess of the New Moon. Strong, athletic, and temperamental, this was no Goddess to irritate. Even looking at her could kill. She was also very demanding when it came to her worship. She was known to bring down entire empires simply because a sacrifice might have been overlooked.
The Fifteen Goddesses
These are the 15 categories of this test. If you score above average in
all or none of the four variables: Neit. Erudite: Minerva. Sensual: Aphrodite. Martial: Artemis. Saturnine: Persephone. Erudite & Sensual: Isis. Erudite & Martial: Sekhmet. Erudite & Saturnine: Nemesis. Sensual & Martial: Hera. Sensual & Saturnine: Bast. Martial & Saturnine: Ilamatecuhtli. Erudite, Sensual & Martial: Maeve. Erudite, Sensual & Saturnine: Freya. Erudite, Martial & Saturnine: Sedna. Sensual, Martial & Saturnine: Macha.

Comments about Womens Sanuk Yoga Mat Sandals Shoe:
Very comfortable. I ordered the Sanuk Yoga Mat in White [...]...I did join the VIP club because it was a crazy good deal at 1.99 and included free shipping. I've had these shoes for 5 days and love them. After wearing them, they bounce back...nice...and so far, have remained very cushiony. I'm wearing them in Vegas in 10 days....we'll see how they handle that walking...and I'll update when I get back.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Snow definitely slows things down, but it doesn't have to slow down your fitness routine, especially if you're trying to burn a few of those holiday calories. Here are a few ways to take advantage of your snowy neighborhood to get in your daily exercise.
Most city dwellers don't have snowshoes, but you can still get an awesome calorie burning workout by simply walking in the snow. In fact, it requires you to exert more energy because you have to watch your balance (use your abs!) and lift your legs high to traverse the deep snow. Take a pair of ski poles to engage the upper body.
Want to get out some pent up anger? Grab a friend and start a snow ball fight. Talk about a killer cardio exercise–running around in the snow and dodging snow balls. You'll probably burn even more calories laughing; there's no better way to act like a kid than to play in the snow. Just be sure to make some ground rules (i.e. aim below the waist) to avoid poking someone's eye out.
There's probably no better way to work up a sweat than shoveling. You can combine cardio and resistance training in one. CalorieCount.com says you can burn 408 calories in one hour if you shovel by hand. Think of it as doing bent over rows at the gym or bi-cep curls. Remember to bend over at the knees and squeeze your glutes when you push the snow to avoid compensating with your lower back.
Any other ideas? Let us know in the comments.

Comment posted ARSN submission to Rural Education Commission by Tim McIntyre.
Thanks Neil, and for what it's worth I don't doubt what you say about your understanding and empathy with rural areas. In fact I think we are lucky enough to live in a part of the world where splits of the type sometimes alluded to – between 'urban' and 'rural', or between young people & the elderly – are largely fictitious. None of the towns we have in Argyll are large enough to be described as 'urban' and many or most local families have strong connections between the town areas and the countryside.
As for Bonawe, I fully agree with you that, as with any school, it relies on parental support to survive. I would argue that the fact that the school is still open suggests that some parents do strongly support it, since they have obviously had to weigh any concerns they may have over the small size of the pupil roll against the desire to see the school survive for the sake of the longer term future of the community. Having attended the pre-consultation meeting in Ardchattan last March, I can assure you that the wider community, including many people in the village who do not have children, but are involved with the day to day life of the school, are strongly supportive of it. Furthermore the housing association representative expressed the view that the school was a significant factor in the large number of people on their waiting list who have expressed a preference for a house in the village.
Tim McIntyre also commented
- Neil – Ardchattan School in Bonawe currently has three pupils, and no-one would deny that it is at a low ebb. Likewise, Barcaldine school had only seven pupils at one point (I was one of them, so it's longer ago than I would care to admit). Now Barcaldine has twenty-two, and has been more-or-less full for the last decade or so.
Why? Barcaldine has not undergone any major house-building programme, nor enjoyed any significant economic boost (the closure of the Alginate factory in the late 90s lost us our last major employer) since I was at school. There has simply been a kind of demographic renewal resulting in an increase in the school-age population.
As long as a community like Bonawe has a school, it has a reasonable chance of undergoing such a renewal in due course, but that becomes much less likely if the school closes. Seen from that perspective, what appears to be a short-term spike in the 'cost per pupil' of educating Bonawe's children close to home is in fact an investment in the long term sustainability of that community.
Also, as is abundantly clear to anyone who has visited the school, it has close connections with the community and plays a very important part in the lives of everyone, from toddlers to the elderly – the more so because it is the only community facility they have. Allow it to survive now, and it will thrive again in the future.
- Simon – I'm really looking forward to hearing your considered response to the ARSN submission. In the mean time, do you think you could lay off the SNP-bashing for just a little while? Even for those of us with no party allegiance, it's really starting to get tedious and I'm sure the last thing you want is to be boring everyone
The story also has nothing whatever to do with the SNP, nor even with the decision to close Hillhead school, which (I agree with you) looks pretty awful.
- A collaborative effort too – although my name is at the top of the submission, most of the clear thinking and hard work that went into this must be credited to ARSN individuals from every corner of Argyll.

- SNP shuts down local branch Twitter proving witch hunt against Carmichael
Integrity – I believe some have suggested to Mr Carmichael that he should step down voluntarily, precisely so that the money raised so far can go to food banks instead of lawyers
Anyway, taking up your point about political 'blinkers' – maybe so, but I hastily add that I'm not defending him against the legitimate anger of his constituents, who are really the only folk that have an interest in his future now that he is a lowly back bench opposition MP in one of the smaller parties, and not a minister of state.
Those constituents – including no doubt a good number who voted for him having believed his claim that he knew nothing about a grubby smear campaign – have every right to feel pretty unhappy at what has transpired, and especially that it was kept carefully concealed until after they cast their votes. That is not a party political point in itself, and it is unfair and simplistic to characterise the legal campaign to force a by-election as such.
Given the high cost (and no legal aid) of raising an action, and the even more eye-watering potential for the awarding of costs in the event of failure, crowd funding seems to me a fair & transparent way to raise the money needed. Doubtless the campaigners are benefitting quite a bit from politically-motivated donations, especially given that Carmichael was one of the more, er, bruising personalities in the 'No Thanks' campaign. However, at the end of the day it is the court that will decide, even if the politics helps raise the cash.
- SNP shuts down local branch Twitter proving witch hunt against Carmichael
The First Minister was not a candidate in the election, and therefore the 'smear' itself – the creation of the false memo plus leaking thereof – is unlikely to be of any great concern to the court.
As I understand it, the case will turn on whether the court finds that Alistair Carmichael's admitted lie – that he knew nothing of the memo until contacted by journalists – amounts to 'corrupt and illegal' practice under the Representation of the People Act.
In other words, did Mr Carmichael try to cover up his own involvement in the smear in order to present himself to his constituents as an honourable and decent candidate for re-election, and thereby affect the outcome in Orkney & Shetland.
I suspect that anyone hoping for a detailed investigation into the writing of the memo itself may be disappointed…
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
Newsroom – re: the "wholly constitutionally disadvantaged position of England", Derek Bateman has a good piece on that subject;-
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
Integrity – I'm sure you are right that the convention is informal, and obviously the parties can talk to each other as they wish – as the Lib Dems did with Labour last time. However, I assume that in practice, David Cameron would try every option to form a government and would not resign until these had been exhausted (as Gordon Brown did last time, despite coming a distant second). Only then would the SNP's offer to Labour come into play.
John M – the SNP cannot 'vote down' a Tory government which has managed to assemble majority support – the key phrase in your quote being "if there is an anti-Tory majority"
Newsroom, I think you are right that stability could be a problem, especially as the Tory press in the south will do everything possible to de-stabilise a SNP-supported minority Labour government. If they can portray it as illegitimate that Labour gets to govern while the Tories got a majority in England, they will do so, loudly and insistently, and regardless of the damage to the Union.
- Forget tactical voting for unity. Forget the coming of the one-party state. Your party matters more?
John, the reason why I said you were winding me up is that you surely aren't suggesting that Labour would be unable to get a Queen's Speech through parliament solely because of the actions of its own rebel MPs?
Can you imagine the headlines: "Salmond pleads with Labour rebels to let Ed Miliband into No. 10″
