Jonathan Waxman's Opening a Restaurant in San Francisco
He's finally returning to the Golden State.
He's finally returning to the Golden State.
It'll be located in a hotel in FiDi.
The collaboration with Blue Bottle will kick off in winter of 2015.
The space is located in Red Hook, under the Gowanus Expressway.
His new restaurant will be located in south Williamsburg.
It's atop a tower on Pine Street.
"It was the first time that I felt like shopping for food was more than a chore or errand."
The grocery store has a loyal following.
It's on Kenmare Street.
He'll also select the 11 other restaurants in the development.
Another great option for outdoor dining.
Rose's will be decidedly more casual.
"We're aiming for that cushy grandma vibe."
It's even going to serve macaroni-and-cheese dumplings.
And with that, the area completes its transformation into the next Meatpacking District.
With "seasonal flatbreads" and "aquatic delights."
A new spot from the man who gave the world the foie gras Fluffernutter.
Wylie's dad is on track to open his long-in-the-works sandwich shop just across the street from the late, great wd~50.
Chef Jonathan Kava will finally bring a bit of civilized fine dining to Williamsburg's gravel-strewn feedlot.
It raised $26,817 from 360 backers.

Old Dog - New Tricks
View RAWHIDE64's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from RAWHIDE64
Tuesday, May 08, 2012
There's a saying, at least where I grew up, that goes like this: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". I'm going to try to dispel that myth. After 7 decades of learning I may qualify as an expert on the subject. Wellllllll, maybe I know a little about it. When did I get to be an old dog. According to my body it happened about 20 years ago - give or take 15 years.
Learning is not the exclusive domain of the young and "set in your ways" is not exclusive to senior citizens. That "set in you ways" thing is the biggest obstacle to learning new tricks.
I grew up eating meat and back then, in the Midwest, steaks were cooked well done. I went to college on the east coast and after flight training I joined a squadron on the east coast. We found that a lot of those folks ate their steaks RAW!!!
At least it looked raw to me. My wife grew up eating the same dry steaks that I did and one night we decided to try a steak medium. Son of a gun - it was GOOD. From there we tried medium rare and really liked that. I have an Uncle back home and he has never eaten anything but a well done steak and won't try anything else. Come on - you don't learn new things unless you either try it or educate yourself. My Uncle is 3 years older than me but definitely "set in his ways".
I learned my multiplication tables by sitting down and memorizing them. The teacher gave me the sheet of paper and all I had to do was learn it. It was 1948, I was 7,definitely not "set in my ways", and eager to learn. Now I'm 70, wanting to change, eager to learn, but, I'll admit it, "set in my ways" and have been for a long time.
Changing my eating is requiring me to eat a lot of new things and replacing some old friends. Well, I thought pizza, cheese, pie, cookies, and snack crackers were my friends until I couldn't bend over and touch my toes. I don't visit those friends much these days but I'm making new friends. My old "way" was eating Oatmeal cookies but now I learned a new trick. I can make a bowl of Quaker Oatmeal, toss on some fruit, have a cup of Yogurt, and enjoy my breakfast. It's only one step in learning how to eat better but one of many steps that I need to take. My teacher for this is Sparkpeople. It's all laid out here for me but I have to put in the work to learn it and to do it. I'm starting to understand that I do have to deal with stress eating. I thought that was other people. Wrong!
I thought it would be easy to go back to exercising regularly. Wrong again. I have to push myself every day and understand that the TV is not my friend. In fact, I thought this whole thing would be a piece of cake. I was obviously delusional.
This change is definitely not a diet. My weight was the catalyst for change but I finally figured out that it isn't the true measure of the change. This old dog is learning a lot of new tricks - and some things about myself that I'm not happy with.
Enjoy the ride,

Internal Revenue Service:
Issues Affecting IRS' Private Debt Collection Pilot
GGD-97-129R: Published: Jul 18, 1997. Publicly Released: Jul 18, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO summarized the key issues GAO discussed during its May 13, 1997, briefing on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) pilot program, which was established to test the use of private collection companies to assist IRS in collecting delinquent federal taxes, focusing on key issues affecting the implementation of IRS' pilot program.
GAO noted that: (1) IRS' efforts to design and implement the private debt collection pilot program were hindered by limitations that affected the program's results; (2) one set of limitations involved the effect of certain legal interpretations on the contracts with private collection companies; (3) specifically, the Office of Management and Budget and IRS consider the "collection of taxes" to be an "inherently governmental" function that must be performed by government employees; (4) therefore, the program's private collectors were hired to assist IRS only in locating and contacting taxpayers to remind them of their outstanding tax liability and to suggest various payment methods; (5) under IRS' interpretation, the collectors were barred from actually collection the funds to settle delinquent accounts; (6) another IRS legal interpretation barred collectors from being paid a percentage of the amount of taxes collected as a result of their efforts; (7) a second set of limitations involved IRS' reliance on its computer systems and procedures, which made it difficult to identify, select, and transmit collection cases to private collectors; (8) in addition, IRS computer systems and technology and the inability to transfer data from one service center to another impeded IRS' ability to refer cases to the collectors; (9) during the pilot, the number and types of cases referred to the collectors were significantly different from those anticipated in the pilot program's original design; (10) the final issue GAO discussed in its May 13 briefing involved the pilot program's measurement plan, which did not include a comparison of the best practices used by the private collectors with IRS' own collection techniques; (11) part of Congress' intent in approving the pilot was for IRS to learn more about collection techniques used in the private sector; (12) IRS' measurement plan identified two performance measurement factors: (a) gross financial gain measured by total dollars collected versus total costs to collect; and (b) net financial gain measured by total dollars collected minus dollars expected to have been collected without intervention versus total costs to collect; (13) the written design did not include mechanisms to identify and capture information on successful collection techniques used by the contractors that could be adopted by IRS; and (14) according to IRS officials, they are currently developing procedures to identify which practices worked well during the pilot so that they can be compared with IRS' current practices and appropriate changes can be recommended.

Traditionally, such inflation-linked bonds are just available to major institutional investors, but National Grid is taking advantage of the low rates of interest to raise between £50m and £140m.
National Grid's new 10-year bond, which requires a minimum £2,000 investment, will have an annual interest rate of 1.25pc, with the coupon linked to the rate of inflation, as measured by the Retail Price Index (RPI).
The new bond will offer two cash interest payments each year and the final repayment at maturity will reflect the compound effects of inflation. However, if RPI has fallen by maturity, the company will pay back no less than the face value of the bonds.
Retail bonds are considered more risky than bank accounts because they are not covered by depositor guarantee schemes in case of default by the issuer.
However, they have become more popular in recent years, as interest rates have remained low since the financial crisis. Royal Bank of Scotland last year launched a retail bond with an interest rate of 3.9pc, or RPI - whichever is higher. There is currently not a single savings account available that beats RPI at 5.2pc.
Companies such as Tesco and John Lewis have previously targeted retail investors with bonds in small £100 chunks and short maturity dates. The London Stock Exchange's retail bond trading platform lists bonds from companies such as BT, GlaxoSmithKline, Morgan Stanley, GE Capital and Enterprise Inns.
The move also indicates the market appears to be unfreezing after a six-week hiatus this summer when new issuers were wary of launching bonds during the market volatility.
National Grid is tapping the bond market to help fund its capital spending programme, which will require new power connections and upgrades to existing infrastructure.
Malcolm Cooper, global tax and treasury director at National Grid, said: "National Grid is a relatively low-risk business due to the demand for what we do and our highly regulated nature.
"There is evidence of strong demand from retail investors for inflation-linked products to protect them from certain effects of inflation, and we hope that this product will address some of that demand."
Barclays Capital and Evolution Securities will manage the process, with bonds expected to be issued on October 6. The offer period for the bonds is expected to remain open until September 29.

Airbus is to offer A380 customers the option of an 11-abreast economy-class layout using 18in-wide (46cm) seats made possible by raising the floor 2in on the main deck of the superjumbo.
The airframer will show a mock-up of the new configuration at the Aircraft Interiors show in Hamburg in early April. However, the type's only leasing customer Amedeo has already expressed an interest in becoming launch customer for the layout.
Speaking at the ISTAT Americas conference in San Diego, Amedeo chief executive Mark Lapidus said: "We pushed Airbus very hard to get 11-abreast introduced, [adding] 35 to 40 extra seats."
Lapidus said the new layout would be made possible through "raising the floor by two inches in the wider part of the aircraft".
The lessor has yet to secure a customer for any of the 20 A380s it has on firm order, but says it would be "very excited" to have the 11-abreast configuration in all its aircraft. However, it acknowledges that this would be driven by airline demands.
Based on a three-class layout with business and premium-economy cabins on the upper deck, Amedeo says an overall density of around 630-650 passengers could be achieved through use of the new 11-abreast seating.
Lapidus has previously been critical of Airbus's former marketing strategy for the superjumbo, arguing that too much emphasis was placed on selling it as a "luxury" aircraft, ignoring the type's potential seat-mile economics.
Deliveries of the lessor's A380s from its $8.3 billion order are scheduled to begin in 2016.

Yoho National Park, Canada
Yoho National Park
- Towering rockwalls, spectacular waterfalls and soaring peaks earn the park its name.
Yoho, translated it means Yahoooo!
Actually Yoho is a Cree expression of awe and wonder.
This time, unlike last year, I did my cross country without any hiking or camping and I was able to pack light without the extra camping equipment. However there was one spot that I couldn't resist taking a small hike to see. Today it was pouring and I didn't feel up to riding far but my legs wanted to move. So I changed my plans and instead of a long ride I went on a hike. I departed towards a small mountain lake that involved a 14 mile round trip, 7 of which were uphill. Biker gear, especially boots, didn't add any speed or comfort.
What can I say, I was very tired of walking. I only took water with me. Once I got to the top to my relief I saw a small hut that sold various stuffs. The smell of coffee and pastries tickled my nose. Just the time to refill my spent energy. A young girl poured me a cup of coffee and handed me a slice of cake but upon me handing her American money, she said they only accept Canadian dollars. And they did not accept credit cards either. Grrrrrrr……
I almost died from disappointment. Oh well, I came here for the lake.
Glacier. On the way to the lake:
Lake O'Hara:
All pictures taken by hand, dragging my tripod along would have made the hike even worse. And to be honest I wouldn't have made it.
The place is amazing and the entire park is marvelous. Unfortunately the rain slightly changed my plans. But by the time I got to the top the rain stopped and the sun sometimes peeked out from the clouds:
The water is turquoise, be it a puddle, lake or rapids.
Would be nice to stay in that cabin:
Or kayaking on the lake:
So quiet and peaceful:
If I haven't mentioned it yet, I have a small laptop with me where I cannot photoshop my pictures, only re-size and crop. So what you see are natural pictures.
Everything is sweetened by risk

Just had the 10,000 klm service done. New filters,oil & grease. also needed valve adjustmet, mechanic also recommended replace stock air cleaner with oil/foam so will check these out. Also had him look at rear shock as it seems a little soft.
I checked the bike sag which was 7mm out but the rider sag has no adjustment so may need a stiffer spring $250.00 - $300.00. Is there another option for this or will i need to get anew spring. (the bike tends to want to fall off the side stand when loaded up with paniers etc) has any one got any ideas that could help with this that I'm overlooking?...i am a bit of a suspesion noob so any advice would be appriciated.
Anyway while my bike was getting serviced I got this to play on for a copule of hours

As of Thursday, April 19, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Each spring brings with it new life as well as new promise.
Spring also inspires the timing for the annual paver dedication ceremony at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
This year's event, held at the hospital Thursday, celebrates the past year's addition of more names to the paver bricks on the exterior walkway between the entrances to the main lobby and Medical Tower 1.
Officials say the project is meant to provide a special way of honoring the birth of a baby, a memorial to a loved one or a special "Thank you" to a friend. The ceremony recognizes those who have added new bricks over the last year as well as those honored on the walkway.
Anita Hudgens, director of development for the Phoebe Foundation, said there are now 2,300 bricks on the walkway. A program provided at the dedication ceremony shows that 21 bricks were purchased in honor of someone, while an additional 41 were purchased in memory of someone in 2011.
The program also lists 33 donors who contributed to the walkway's new additions.
Among those names now included are Grace Walker, a 94-year-old who has been volunteering at the hospital for 29 years.
"In 1983, she came to us after becoming a widow," said Dianne Owens, coordinator for Phoebe Volunteer Services, said of Walker. "For 29 years, Grace and those like her have been the foundation of our organization.
"She is a friend, a mentor and an inspiration."
Those now being memorialized include Jo Neal Freeman, wife of Albany State University President Everette Freeman, who died last month. Also included is Lillian Sullivan, mother of Phoebe Senior Vice President of Strategy and Development Tom Sullivan, who died in late February.
While he has had contact with those touched by the paver project before, Sullivan said the true impact did not hit home until his mother's passing -- and until he learned that someone had purchased a brick in her name.
"She was full of life," Sullivan recalled of his mother, for whom the 2011 Lights of Love ceremony was dedicated. "It was her family that she put in the center of her life."
Sullivan also went on to talk about the family's reunions, and the recreational vehicle trips he took with his brothers growing up.
"To see her name on the walkway is very touching," he said. "My mother loved this hospital, and she would be honored to know her name was etched (on the walkway)."
Also now on the walkway is John Lane, a long-time employee of Phoebe Environmental Services who died suddenly in January, officials say.
There, with Lane's family present at the dedication, Environmental Services Director Willie Willis said a few words about his late employee.
"John loved his job, and was very good at it," Willis said. "When he said: 'I got it. I'm on it,' I knew he was on it. Over the next (few) years, he became the go-to guy.
"John was a believer. John Lane was a good man, and had a good heart. The world would be a better place if we had more people like John Lane."
Also, there was a list of Phoebe's 2011 retirees -- as well as one from 2008 -- whose names were read aloud at the ceremony. In all, there were 67 names read, and included those who had served from five years for as long as 43 years.
Established nearly 20 years ago in conjunction with the opening of Medical Tower 1, Hudgens said the project started with 300 bricks the first year and has continued to grow since.
Now, with the addition of bricks over time, volunteers have since composed a chart to make it easier to find an individual brick -- or at least the section it is in, Hudgens said.
"Sometimes people treat it with tremendous reverence," she said of the paver project. "Gifts come from all kinds of folks.
"It is something where people can pick a defined way to put a name in a permanent place."
The new bricks, traditionally put in during the spring, are expected to be added to the walkway over the next few days. The funds raised from the paver purchases will go toward helping Phoebe patients, officials say. Pavers can be purchased for $75.

Does anyone know who this is (referring to the TV show, Blind Date)?
His name is Paul and he said he wrestled in the world championships twice, once in 1999 and once in Bulgaria. From his practice routine, it appears freestyle.
thanks - I can get a picture if people need one

Since they have all of the New 52 collections available for the Nook I've been thinking about just jumping into them with an occasional pre-relaunch story, rather than focusing on pre-Relaunch stuff.
I definitely plan on picking up Batman, Action Comics, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Justice League Dark, and The Flash.
My maybes are Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Justice League, and Birds of Prey.
After looking through some of the rewviews around the web, I don't think I'm going to bother with BOP or Suicide Squad (I like Harley, and the whole villains working for the good guys idea , so I was thinking about trying it) since nobody seems very fond of them. I'm thinking about about starting with Batman, Aquaman and JLD.

Mark Reynolds left manager Buck Showalter hanging in one of the funnier moments we've seen this season. The Orioles third baseman had crushed a solo home run in the third inning of Friday night's win over the Red Sox when he made his way to the dugout. The homer was the first of the season for the slumping Reynolds, so his teammates gave him the silent treatment in the dugout — typical protocol for someone breaking out of a power slump. Reynolds recognized he was receiving the silent treatment upon approaching the dugout, so he decided to give a dose of it back, and that's why he ended up snubbing Showalter.
"I got the silent treatment from the dugout, which was expected," Reynolds explained, per The Baltimore Sun. "They were all sitting down, so I just ran in the tunnel. I think I stood Buck up. He was trying to give me a five and I ran by him, but I didn't mean to. I gave him a five when I came back out."
Even though the snub looked bad, there were no hard feelings. Showalter just hoped the homer was a sign Reynolds was breaking out of his slump. Maybe it was; Reynolds hit another home run on Saturday and raised his average by 40 points with back-to-back 2-for-4 games.

This concert premieres on PBS October 6, 2005
(check local listings)
There is nothing as sweet as two powerhouse divas delivering up
a rousing set. This Soundstage episode captures the duo of newcomer
Joss Stone and legendary Mavis Staples in one stunning performance.
Hailing from England, the teenaged Stone began to make waves with
her big and throaty neo-soul vocal with the release of 2003's
The Soul Sessions (S-Curve). The disc comprised a new twist to a
modern gem (The White Stripes' "Fell In Love With A
Girl"; Joss sings "Fell In Love With A Boy") along
with classic soul covers. She returned the next year with Mind,
Body & Soul, where she exercised her own writing chops: co-writing
12 of the 14 tracks. For more than three decades, Chicago's
own Mavis Staples has been a force in the gospel set when she launched
her career singing with her family in The Staple Singers. Her contralto
voice has lent itself to classic soul and bluesy folk gospel, and
even Prince-penned songs, along the way.
In this lovely performance, Stone launches and closes the set.
Highlights include a smoky delivery of the aforementioned "Fell
In Love With A Boy" along with several of her own gems, including
"Right To Be Wrong" and "You Had Me." Staples
takes the stage midset to perform three songs, including the title
track from her recent well-received album, Have A Little Faith.
The finale brings the two talents together for a riveting duet of
"I'll Take You There."

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 4/29/13
Mike Jurecki tweets that the Cardinals would like re-sign CB Patrick Peterson to a long-term contract at some point during the season. Jurecki adds that Peterson has the same agent as their recent fourth-round pick Tyrann Mathieu. Peter King mentioned in his Monday Morning Quarterback column that Mathieu's contract would include no guaranteed money, but his agent has since refuted that idea. It's noteworthy only because Mathieu's will meet with the Cardinals in the coming weeks to finalize his contract, so it makes sense for them to at least broach the subject of an extension for Peterson. Peterson, 22, will make $2.05 million for the upcoming season, but won't be an unrestricted free agent until 2015. Still, Peterson is one of the best young defensive backs in the game. Last year, he managed to tally intercept seven passes, which is up from just two in his rookie season. On top of that, he was also able to improve his coverage considerably, so he's a prime candidate for a long-term extension. The post Cardinals May Approach CB Patrick Peterson Regarding A Long-Term Extension appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

TV Times magazine talks to John Barrowman about the new series of Torchwood...Given the amount of death and destruction in a typical sci-fi blockbuster, the idea behind Torchwood: Miracle Day is thought-provoking isn't it?"Everyone else wants to blow up the world, kill people off, annihilate humanity – for the writer Russell T Davies to look at what would happen if nobody dies, everyone lives on, is just fantastic."Your character Captain Jack Harkness is already immortal, of course..."It is not necessarily a wonderful thing, which Jack knows, having been immortal for a very long time. There are lots of negative sides to it. You might live forever, but you still feel pain. And how do we as a society deal with it when the population sky rockets? Within days the world would be overpopulated, there would be a food shortage, hospitals would be overrun."This series was filmed in Cardiff and LA, how did you find Hollywood?"We filmed all over LA, in Chinatown, out in the desert, up in the mountains; what is great is that it's one climate all year round, so if we want rain or snow, we just turn the machines on! Filming at the Warner Brothers film studios was just incredible. I bought myself a bicycle so I could explore it, and it has sets that double for New York, Washington DC, everywhere."Do you still enjoying playing Captain Jack?"This is going to sound really cheesy, but I don't care. I didn't ever expect to be involved in Doctor Who and now Torchwood as someone with an American accent, but the fact that Captain Jack was embraced by the British public, and that I, as an openly gay man, play a huge action hero is absolutely one of the biggest gifts that could ever have been given to me. I'm proud to represent that community, but Jack has become a hero to everybody, which is what makes me so thrilled. If someone said to me, 'John, you are only going to play Captain Jack Harkness for the rest of your life', I would be content."Torchwood begins on Thursday July 14 at 9pm on BBC1

Dogs take the long way home via air to Bridgewater
What was supposed to be a five-hour nonstop flight for a Bridgewater resident's two dogs ended up taking three flights and 30 hours before a reunion at Pittsburgh International Airport on Sunday evening.
"I haven't slept for two days. This has literally made me sick," said Michael Branigan, 52, whose wife put his two purebred 3-year-old boxers on a cargo flight from Los Angeles late Saturday morning before a canceled flight, a missed connection and tarmac delays sent them on a journey to four cities.
Branigan moved from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh in January for work with the Bruster's chain of ice cream shops and hoped that United Airlines' PetSafe service could ship Sarge, a brown and black male, and Scout, a brindle female, on a direct flight from LAX to Pittsburgh departing early Saturday afternoon and arriving Saturday night.
Per United's rules, the dogs had to be put in kennels and shipped in the climate-controlled areas of passenger planes' cargo holds.
But the flight from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh was canceled, so Branigan said he gave permission for the dogs to go to San Francisco for another direct flight to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Once they got there, however, Branigan said he was told the kennels were mishandled and the dogs missed the last flight from San Francisco to Pittsburgh until 10 p.m. Sunday.
Airline spokeswoman Mary Clark said the dogs were then transferred to Houston, where there was an earlier flight to Pittsburgh and a PetSafe facility where the dogs could be let out of their kennels and fed. That flight was delayed two hours before departing.
"While there were a lot of things that happened here, the PetSafe people are working and looking for the best alternatives," Clark said. She said PetSafe representatives would work with Branigan to settle his complaint.
Sarge and Scout were reunited with Branigan outside United's passenger terminal at 7:10 p.m. Sunday, appearing slightly disoriented and thirsty but otherwise all right, Branigan said.

While social media is normally all about engagement, this holiday season it will focus more on social commerce. According to VentureBeat, instead of likes and shares, brands will be trying to get more sales through social media. That should be easier than ever with the new "buy" buttons that both Twitter and Facebook will release soon. Another finding is that "Despite the evolving landscape of social media, 92 percent of the marketers surveyed say they will allocate the majority of their social media holiday budgets to Facebook. With its frequency of use and slightly older demographic, Facebook remains the leader inRead More
A recent LinkedIn post discussed how to get customers to actually pay attention to your marketing efforts. The article explained that people filter out 95% of the information they see. "Brands don't reach that 5% "sweet spot" through increasing their marketing budgets, turning up the volume or finding an even more cutting-edge celebrity to endorse their products. Brands get there by putting the customer in the story. Like those old print photos or posts on Facebook, we're only willing to pay for the stuff with us in it."

Coca-Cola's stock hasn't been doing very well lately, so it's no wonder the company is eager to make some changes. Sure, those changes will cost about $2.5 million to put into place, but the results the beverage company hopes to achieve will make the investment worthwhile. Coca-Cola's problems mainly stem from health advocates spreading the news that carbonated beverages are not good to consume, leading to fewer people drinking soda lately. That's why the company decided to shake things up with a new drink called Coke Life, which is touted as having less sugar and fewer calories than traditional Coke. Plus,Read More

In addition, restaurant owners and managers can use Sourcery to find new food suppliers since it features a handy supplier directory.

Since 2010, Warby Parker has been selling stylish glasses online. But in the last few years, this brand has opened a few brick-and-mortar stores, with the first one being in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City. The owners of Warby Parker knew their first retail location – which is surrounded by other popular stores like Ralph Lauren and the Apple Store – would be successful before they even signed the lease on the building. That's because shortly after the website launched, co-founders Neil Blumenthal and David Gilboa had customers asking to come to their apartment to try on glasses. They soonRead More
A few years ago, Gap officials realized they had a problem: millennials no longer seemed interested in this brand, which meant Gap had to somehow get their attention again. More specifically, the brand had to appeal to the social side of millennials, and that's how the Styld.by concept was born. Gap executives decided to relinquish control of their traditional catalog, instead allowing fashion bloggers to take over. Gap chose to partner with the following popular fashion blogs: FabSugar, Refinery29, WhoWhatWear, Rue, MOG, and Lookbook. The brand then left it up to each of the blogs to create inspired outfits using a mixture of GapRead More
D-Wave Systems revealed the first quantum computer in 2007, and since then it's been on a roll, getting funding and publicity for continued research in quantum computing. Of course, this might not mean much to you if you're not sure what quantum computing even is! Essentially, it involves using the laws of quantum mechanics in order to process information. Here's what else you need to know: The typical computer uses bits to encode zeros and ones. The quantum computer uses quantum bits (qubits) instead, which encode zeros and ones into two different quantum states. The result is that quantum computers can complete calculations muchRead More
Remember Surge, a citrus soda that was discontinued in 2002? Well, it's back, and it's all because Coca-Cola actually paid attention to a Facebook movement to bring back Surge. More specifically, a group of Surge fans who missed their favorite soda made a Facebook page and accompanying video in an attempt to get other Surge aficionados excited about the campaign. They eventually saved up enough money for a billboard near Coke's headquarters in support of bringing back Surge, and then made daily phone calls to Coca-Cola to plead for their favorite soda. Just when Surge's 128,000 fans were beginning to feel likeRead More

On the flip side, you have a guy like Janish -- who isn't as naturally gifted as some of these other guys -- who goes up there with a solid approach and works the ABs to give himself the best chance to reach base.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Cincinnati Reds
Marshall Thundering Herd
Kentucky Wildcats
Indianapolis Colts
Washington Wizards
94 mph, dead center plate, belt-high, no movement.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Janish OPS/wOBA: .637/.287
I will take Stubbs over Janish any day. Also, Janish swings at more pitches out of the zone than Stubbs (27.9% vs. 22.4%) and they both swing at 66% of pitches in the zone. Stubbs sees slightly more pitches per plate appearance than Janish (last year, Stubbs saw a great deal more P/PA). The difference isn't in their approach, it's in how often they make contact, as Janish makes much better contact both on pitches out of the zone and inside the zone.
good job Masset
Cincinnati Reds
Marshall Thundering Herd
Kentucky Wildcats
Indianapolis Colts
Washington Wizards
Man that's disheartening. Arroyo and Masset have pitched very poorly today.
now its ballgame
This ballpark is just ridiculous.
How about that Nick Masset? He's really good.

Thanks for your interest in BackupBuddy.
How large is the site that you want to backup? BackupBuddy itself does not impose any particular limitation but all hosting has limitations on resource availability which you have a greater or lesser control over dependent on the host and the type of hosting package you have.

Data connector exception error
Created: 18 Apr 2013 | 1 comment
Hello folks,
I'm very new at this so any suggestions would be helpful. I'm trying to import PC/Laptop data from a spreadsheet into Altiris and its throwing an error. It's all been set up by someone else and I'm trying to figure out what they did and why it's now giving an error.
When I test the OleDB Data Source Configuration it completes sucessfully. When I click Display import data... I get this error:
Failed to execute data pre-processing function. The pre- processing code threw an exception 'System.ArgumentException: Column 'Serial Number' does not belong to table Table1. at System.Data.DataRow.get_Item(String columnName) at DataSourcePreProcessing.ProcessData(DataTable importData)'
And if I click the "raw" radio button it shows me my spreadsheet data correctly.
If anyone has thoughts or if there's more info I can provide pelase let me know.
Thanks in advance!

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 19: John Isner of the United States of America plays a forehand in his first round match against Andreas Seppi of Italy during day two of the 2010 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 19, 2010 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Mark Dadswell/Getty Images)
Reversing the result of their semifinal here a year ago, John Isner on Friday served his way past defending champion Kevin Anderson 6-2, 7-6 on a chilly night in the quarterfinals of the Delray Beach International. It was a morale-boosting win for the 6-foot-9 American, whose confidence does not always match his stature on a tennis court. Forced to miss the Australian Open with a knee injury, Isner lost in the first round last week at Memphis following a semifinal showing at San Jose, and now seems to be hitting his stride in testing conditions. With the weather hot, humid and windy early in the week before rain washed out Wednesday's play, Isner had to adapt to temperatures that had plunged into the 50s. The chill did not help Anderson, a U.S.-based South African who underwent elbow surgery in Melbourne at the end of January and needed time to warm up. Before he did, the first set was gone in a blur of Isner thunderbolts that included five aces. Twelve more followed in a protr...

Sousse Beach of Hotel Karawan
I did not want to leave my expensive Revue Thommen Swiss watch in the Hotelroom dornig my Beach Star,so I Tool the watch to the supervised Beach,belonging to Hotel Karawan.
During swimming in the Sea, the watch has been stolen, definitely by one of the 4 staff members belonging to the Hotel.
They were sitting next to my beach chair, very few other tourists around.
Therefore warning to everybody,beware of theft in this aerea.
"I will show you the way"
I apologise for repeating what has been said. It is a fact that, if you stand around looking lost, someone looking very credible will come up to you and offer to show you the way to the area or shop that you are trying to find. After following your new found friend for 10 or 20 minutes, you are strangely introduced to an alternative supplier of rugs, pottery, silverware who (presumably) is your new friend's 'associate'. Sadly, I fell for this routine twice, once in Sousse and secondly in Tunis. Same result, lost and more frusrated. Friendly as the locals are, when you are in the soukke districts, beware!
Driving and road awareness
Unless you are a very experienced driver who has driven outside of Europe and north America don't even consider hiring a car and driving in Tunisia. The driving is chaotic but they understand the rules. I spent a day in a taxi and couldn't figure out who had right of way at intersections and roundabouts. Also be very, very vigilant when out walking. We witnessed the horror of two German tourists being hit by car. They were walking on the sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon in a built up area and a Libyan man lost control of his car, mounted the kerb and slammed into a wall taking the Germans with him. Tragically they died despite efforts by paramedics at the scene. I cannot stress enough how careful you need to be especially if you come from somewhere where high driving standards are the norm. The other worrying thing is that many cars drive at night without lights and crossing a busy road is made all the more dangerous. I'm not usually one to sound alarms over things like traffic but when you see people die on holiday it makes you realise how we take things like road safety for granted.
Petty Crime
Sadly there is a lot of petty crime in Sousse. One man tried to rob me on the beach. He thrust some nuts in my hand and said try them and then said buy a packet. I got a handful of coins out of my pocket and he snatched them from me and dropped them in the sand then pretended to put them in my pocket but didn't. I threatened him and he gave me most of them back but walked away with about 4 times the value of the packet of nuts. I told the hotel reception staff to warn other guests and they went ballistic and sent their security guard down the beach to find him. When they did they confiscated all the cigarettes and other goods he was trying to sell. They said it's a big problem and gives Sousse a bad name. Pickpockets also operate in the Medina and Souks. Taxi drivers are also known for lying about the fare so fix the price beforehand.
Take care within the Medina by the souvenir shops as they can be quite intimidating and get out into the less busy alleyways and witness the daily life that goes on. Also make sure you have a map with you as you will get lost! Most of the alleys and passageways have their names in both Arabic and French so it shouldn't be hard to find where you are and where you want to go but if you do get lost then simply ask someone or try and head back to the Great Mosque and get your bearings there.
Dont get caught out !!!!!
Whilst walking the medina I always say I wont get caught out, guess what, I Did
Whilst admiring the large mosque in the medina , a polite local speaks in perfect english, that the local mosque around the corner , is open and he would direct us the mosque free of charge on the way he points out various spots, on reaching the mosque he says can you make a small donation to the mosque (fair enough) after a quick tour and a couple of photographs you realise you are in a enclosed area and not sure how to get out, he then demands 10 dinars each for myself and wife and 10 dinars for himself, which is roughly £12
Decided to pay up and get to open space and safety, this is what is spoiling a wonderful country , once caught twice sly!!!!!!

Dodgey beach area
watch out they hunt in pairs, whilst on the beach walking enjoying the sun, first person asks you to buy nuts, cigarettes etc, polite no thank you in english, he them shouts down the beach (English) the next guy then tries to get you to exchange english notes back into dinar,
Just be polite and a firm NO!!!! thank you , should be alright.

Sousse's "red light" district
Near the gate on the west side of the medina (Bab el-Gharbi) is Sousse's prostitution district.
After climbing the steps from Souq el-Caid, we turned right to stay in the medina instead of walking through Bab el-Gharbi outside the old city walls. Almost immediately, locals started screaming at us and gesturing to us to go back. Of course, this made us only more curious about what the heck they were trying to keep us away from.
A few steps later, we saw the somewhat comical truth: we had wandered into Sousse's "red light" district. We also realized that the gestures were aimed mainly at the female half of our tandem...
Therefore we recommend women stay away from this part of town!
money money money
You have to keep your eyes opened and also on your back whenever you deal with finansial issues in Sousse.
-even when changing money in hotel you have to know exaclty how much you need to get as, it is not impossible that they wil try to keep some dinars for themselves
Jellyfish have soft bodies and long, stinging, poisonous tentacles that they use to catch fish. A jellyfish is 98% water. Most jellyfish have tentacles or oral arms coated with thousands of microscopic nematocysts; generally, each of these nematocyst has a "trigger" paired with a capsule containing a coiled stinging filament, as well as barbs on the exterior. There are three goals of first aid for uncomplicated jellyfish stings: prevent injury to rescuers, inactivate the nematocysts, and remove any tentacles stuck on the patient. To prevent injury to rescuers, barrier clothing should be worn. Five percent acetic acid solution (white vinegar) is the preferred method, although meat tenderizer, or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will neutralize any nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the skin. Meat tenderizer should not be left on the skin for more than 15 minutes, and none of these substances should be used in the eyes. In the case of stings on or around the eyes, the solution may be placed on a towel and dabbed around the eyes, but not in them. Salt water may also be used in case any of these compounds are not readily available, but fresh water should never be used. Rinsing the sting site with fresh water, rubbing the wound, or using alcohol, spirits, ammonia, or urine will encourage the release of venom. Once deactivated, the stinging cells must be removed. First aid providers should be careful to use gloves or another readily available barrier device to prevent personal injury, and to follow standard universal precautions. After large pieces of the jellyfish are removed, shaving cream may be applied to the area and a knife edge, safety razor, or credit card may be used to take away any remaining nematocysts.
Beyond initial first aid, antihistamines such as diphenhydramine may be used to control skin irritation .
Ok, this confession is going to make me look like an idiot, and that's fair enough, but it may be useful to someone. The Tunisian money is the Dinar, and it is tied strictly to the Euro. Most of the dinar you will handle will be in coin form, as things are pretty inexpensive compared to western countries. However, one must note that one dinar also = 1,000 dinar. Therefore, when you go to a store and buy, say, a bottle of water, the register might report the numbers 600. This (as I was too slow to figure out the first time) is 600 or .60 cents, not 6 dinar. (in my defense, I had just arrived in the country, hungover and didn't get around the figuring out what the exhange rate was). That shopkeeper got quite a tip, and let me tell you that they won't point out these things.
Though you can get great food in Tunisia, you will usually have to pay for it in a place like Sousse. For cheaper foods, its all about the mixed grill, and their specialty - the Flank Steak. I can't say I would recomend or not recommend this dish, wish is bascially a thin slice of steak, breaded and usually a little pink on the inside. I will say that I would carefully consider the establishment from which you are thinking of eating the flank steak at, and proceed accordingly.
The beaches in Sousse are some of the best to be found anywhere on the med, but with this comes a few problems because in the afternoons the wind begins to pick up and because the sand is so fine it has a tentancy to get into those very small places that the sun hardly ever sees hahahahaha. Also if you have to sun bathe make sure you are not wet coz when the sand blwes all over you you will end up looking like a sugared dough nut hahahahaha. The bloke in the photo is actually ploughing the sand, god knows why, he ain't never going to grow dates on the beach hahahahaha.

Fake Amethyst
When you go on the Safari it is great but beware of fake Amethyst. They generally have quartz crystal which is real, but I guess they have found a way to make extra money coloring the quartz crystal with a violet substance that makes the quartz look like Amethyst.
I was very suspicious about Amethyst being sold for 50 dinar which I liked a big piece but I said I only had ten deniar pointed to the one I liked ignoring what ever price was offered kept on saying ten ten ten until sold for ten found it a bit hard to believe
When I got back to the hotel noticed that the Amethyst color was running off on my hands placed it in water and all the water became violet be aware. They are sold at the stops near the salt sea and in and around the Sahara stops of the Safari tour.

Stray cats everywhere!!
We were staying at the El Hana Beach Resort.
At our dressing table we had some closed cookies from Holland.
When we came back from the beach the cookies lie crumbled and eaten through the room!!
We didn't knew who did this....
Next day we found a cat on the balcony, they climb down easily at the balconies!!
So don't leave anything lying around in the room, or close the doors from your balcony.

Council passes bow hunting ordinance
February 22, 2010
The Basehor City Council took action Monday on one of this year's most emotionally charged items.
At the regular meeting that evening, the council approved, 4-1 with council member Bill Moyer opposed, an ordinance that allows deer hunting in Basehor.
During the council's January work session, Joe Nick requested the council consider issuing him a special permit for deer hunting on his property on State Avenue. Bow hunting had previously been occurring on Nick's property because be obtained a permit for it several years ago, but the permit had since expired. Nick told the council in January he wanted to allow people to hunt on his property to manage the deer population, as deer had long been destroying his crops.
At the request of the council, the Basehor city staff and Police Chief Lloyd Martley drafted an ordinance that allows bow hunting in the city as a means of controlling the deer population. The ordinance legalizes deer bow and archery hunting in certain areas of the city, with each hunter being required to take a proficiency test along with a written exam covering the city's hunting restrictions and guidelines.
Hunters also have to obtain written permission from the landowners, sign a legal liability release, have a state hunting license and a Kansas deer permit and pay the city a $10 fee.
Several members of the community were working to keep the ordinance from passing, citing it as a tremendous safety issue and a potential burden to the Basehor Police Department.
