"And the fact that watching him pitch is like having someone poop on your soul." FCB on Gary Majewski
Out of a season of 162 there are going to be times when you can play your B team, which is kind of what the REDS put out against Pittsburgh in game 4. And part of the Manager's job is managing the position players so that they can play them in the important games. I would prefer to have Freel available against teams like the Cards or Cubs than to have him worn out against the Pirates.
Freel wears down, like others have said and Marty said today. I would like to keep a fresh rotation in the lineup.
I don't buy that he wears down, maybe he gets hurt but that's a maybe for anyone.
Go Gators!
I always felt that a manager's job was to field the best players on the team. If "saving" players is a valid strategy, then why isn't Griffey getting more rest? Why not Kearns as well? Those two have certaintly shown that they can be injury prone.Originally Posted by Nugget
I know one thing for certain: this so called strategy is more about managing egos than talent. If Freel is handed the job at 2nd, you have two unhappy vets on the bench in Womack and Aurilia. This whole notion of Freel being too good to start is just spin. Unfortunately, a lot of people have bought it hook, line, and sinker. As the season goes on, and the team fails to score enough runs because guys like Womack can't get on base, I hope the spell wears off. Until fans demand the best from this team, we're going to be a lot more like the Royals or Pirates than the Red Sox or Cardinals.

Exactly. If Freel should sit two or three times a week out of fear of injuring himself, then Junior's PT should be limited as well.Originally Posted by wolfboy
I just don't see it. Play Freel until he starts to "wear down" (if he does), then sit him for a few games and let him recharge.
14 ABs plus 8 Walks equals 22 Plate Appearances.
6 for 14 with 1 Caught Stealing means he's only produced 9 outs all season.
Impressive. Most impressive.

Thsi "Freel wears down" line is bunk. There's no evidence to support that. Freel has a track record of injuries, yes, but not of wearing down. So let's drop this argument when discussing Freel's playing time (or lack thereof.)
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
This wear down stuff is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. It has no basis in reality yet because it gets repeated so much people buy it hook, line and sinker.
Freel plays hard and might injure himself because of it - fine, I can buy that. But wearing down, the cat has played baseball everyday growing up (he grew up in Florida), do you really think his body isn't used to it?
Come on.

Thank you. Unfortunately this seems to be the party line as far as the Reds are concerned since we hear it repeated so often by the media, the coaching staff and some fans. I ask those of you who only want to play Freel every so often because he may get hurt, would you have done that with Eric Davis? Treating these players like china dolls aren't going to prevent injuries. Pitchers, I understand you have to coddle but not everyday players. I understand they need a break every once in a while but if they are the best option at their position, play them on a regular basis. I understand Freel is very versatile and can be used late in the game at other positions. That doesn't mean you have to hide him on the bench like a secret weapon. Last I checked there was no rule against switching players from one position to another during a game. If there's anything we should have learned from the Bob Boone era it is that.Originally Posted by registerthis

Like I've said before, Freel needs to be in the lineup until parts start falling off his body. And depending on what those parts are, he should probably still start over Womack.

A point-to-point communications device (SS) which is capable of generating melodic alerts, each alert being generated using numeric data in a received message. The device includes a controller (36) programmed with an algorithm for dividing the digits in a decoded message into one or two digit fields. One digit fields are used respectively to determine the tempo (t) and the number of times (p) a sequence of notes is played and two digit fields are used to select notes.
1. A point-to-point communications device comprising receiving means for receiving a message, control means for determining if a received message is destined for the communications device and alerting means for producing an alerting signal, the alerting signal being determined from the received message, wherein the control means divides the received message into a plurality of predesignated fields, one of which fields is used by the control means to determine tempo and other of said fields are used by the control means to determine notes, and wherein each note is represented by a double character field and in that the control means in response to ascertaining that there is an odd number of characters in the message adds a character to a predetermined single character to provide a double character field representative of a note.
2. A communications device as claimed in
3. A communications device as claimed in
4. A communications device as claimed in
5. A method of generating a melody in a point-to-point communications device, comprising receiving and decoding a message, and generating a melody using decoded message data, wherein the decoded message is divided into a plurality of predesignated fields, one of which fields is used to determine tempo and other of said fields are used to determine notes, and wherein a note is represented by a double character field and in that in response to ascertaining that there is an odd number of characters, a predetermined character is added to a predetermined single character to provide a double character representative of a note.
6. A method as claimed in
The present invention relates to a communications device, particularly but not exclusively, to devices such as selective call receivers for example radio pagers, cellular or cordless telephones or corded telephones.
Such communications devices incorporate one or more alerting transducers which may be audible, visual or tactile. In the case of a radio pager, which can be less intrusive than cellular or cordless telephones, when a user has been alerted, he/she has no indication about the source or the perceived priority of a message. The only way of ascertaining this information is for the user to read the message which has been received.
Battery powered communications devices generally have LCD displays for displaying control and user interface data as well as messages. As is known LCD displays have a poor contrast which can make them difficult to read under poor lighting conditions, especially for visually impaired users.
Typically communications devices generate audible alerts such as sequences of tones and more recently melodies. In earlier devices such audible alerts were preprogrammed by the manufacturer which meant users of similar devices in a small working area may be confused as to whose device is generating an alert. More recently a range of different melodies have been pre-programmed into a communications device and a user manually selects one of the melodies in the range during the setting-up of the device's user interface.
WO 92/03891 discloses a selective call receiver in which a user can manually program his/her own melody note by note into the receiver. An LCD panel in the receiver displays the melody as it is being created. The creation of the melody may be done using 2 keys provided on the receiver or by an external programming computer. A problem with this approach is that entering melody data may be tedious, slow and error prone, especially for a visually impaired person, and is costly in terms of perceived product quality.
An object of the present invention is to facilitate the generation of a distinctive audible alerting signal in a communications device.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a point-to-point communications device comprising receiving means for receiving a message, control means for determining if a received message is destined for the communications device and alerting means for producing an alerting signal, the alerting signal being determined from the received message.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of generating a melody in a point-to-point communications device, comprising receiving and decoding a message, and generating a melody using decoded message data.
The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block schematic diagram of a simplified one way paging system,
FIG. 2 illustrates the principle of generating melodies from an incoming numeric message, and
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a generated melody.
The simplified one-way paging system shown in FIG. 1 comprises a paging system controller PSC coupled to a base station (or primary station) transmitter 10. In reality there would be a plurality of geographically distributed base station transmitters coupled by landlines to the paging system controller PSC. The base station transmitters are frequently operated in a quasi-synchronous mode.
The paging system controller PSC comprises an input 12 for the receipt of paging messages which may have been supplied by an operator (not shown) or a user having a personal computer and a modem (not shown). The input 12 is coupled to a message store or RAM 14 which stores the messages until a large enough number of messages have been accumulated to justify their being transmitted in a burst or in the case of a quiet period the messages are transmitted periodically. A controller 16 is provided for controlling the operation of the paging system controller. Under the control of the controller 16 messages are formatted in a formatting stage 18. In formatting a message, an address code is appended to the front of the message by a Receiver Identity Code (RIC) being read out from a code store 20. The message is formatted to be able to be sent in accordance with a respective air interface protocol such as CCIR Radiopaging Code No. 1, alternatively known as POCSAG. The formatted message is encoded in a channel coding stage 22 and relayed to the transmitter 10 for onward transmission by radio to active, in-range secondary stations or pagers SS, of which one is shown in FIG. 1.
The pager SS comprises an antenna 30 coupled to a receiver 32 which is connected to a decoder 34. A control processor 36 is coupled to the decoder 34. The processor 36 operates in accordance with a program stored in a read-only memory 38. The processor also includes an address store (not shown) which contains the unique addresses of that pager. In the event of the pager receiving a message then this is stored in a non-volatile memory 40 for example an EEPROM. The messages can be displayed subsequently on a LCD panel 44 which has its associated driver 42 coupled to the control processor 36. Annunciating devices which may comprise an acoustic transducer 46, a light emitting transducer 48 and a vibrator 50 are coupled to the control processor 36. A keypad 52 provides a man machine interface whereby a user can instruct the processor to carry out various functions, for example to display a stored message on the panel 44. A receiver power control stage 54 is coupled between the processor 36 and the receiver 32 in order to practice battery conservation in accordance with the provisions of the paging protocol being followed.
If desired, some of the functional blocks, such as the decoder 34 and the receiver power control stage 54, may be implemented in the software for the processor 36.
The present invention relates to the alerting signal produced by the acoustic transducer 46 in response to receiving a message having an address corresponding to one of those stored in the address store (not shown). The preamble of this specification reviews different known methods by which alerting signals are selected. However in the case of melodic alerting signals, these are selected by the pager user from a plurality of sequences prestored in the pager by the manufacturer or generated note by note by the user. However once selected or generated the same melodic sequence is repeatedly played for each alert until the user makes a new selection or generates a new sequence. In contrast to these known techniques, a pager made in accordance with the present invention generates a melodic sequence from the content of a received message and in that respect the melodic sequence can be associated with the sender as typically in the case of a numeric message, the message is the telephone number of the user which is unique.
For convenience of description, the present invention will be described with respect to numeric paging messages which normally comprise a sequence of digits frequently representing a telephone number which the pager user is required to call. However the sequence of digits could represent a "canned message", that is a prestored alpha-numeric message which is recovered in response to a numeric message giving a memory location as two or more ASCII or hexadecimal characters. Voice mail could also be used.
In order to generate a melodic sequence it is necessary to determine tempo (t), that is speed of playing in beats per minute (bpm), the number of times that the melody is to be played (p), the notes and the note duration. The pager control processor 36 divides a received numeric message into a plurality of one digit and two digit fields. The one digit fields are used to indicate tempo, t, and the number of times, p, a melody is to be played and the two digit fields are used to indicate the notes.
FIG. 2 explains the principle and assumes a message length of up to 20 digits. FIG. 2 illustrates a stave and shows 2 octaves of notes. The first one digit field contains a digit having a value of between 1 and 9 which defines the tempo t in beats per minute (bpm) as shown in the following table:
The second one digit field defines the number p, and needs to be between 5 and 9. In the event of the digit having a value of less than 5, then p has a default value of 5 as shown in the following table:
The concatenated two digit fields define the respective notes as shown in the following table:
Other definitions
00 to indicate single beat duration rest, that is, increasing
the length of the note by a beat.
16 to indicate double beat duration rest, that is, increasing
the length of the note by two beats.
32 to indicate triple beat duration rest, that is, increasing
the length of the note by three beats.
48 to indicate quadruple beat duration rest, that is,
increasing the length of the note by four beats.
FIG. 3 shows an application of this principle to the start of Beethoven's 5th which is defined by the numeric message: 55090909550808085416. Thus the first digit 5 means t=5, which corresponds to a tempo of 480 bpm, the second digit which is also a 5 means p=5 which corresponds to 5 repeats. The next three pairs of digits (09) correspond to three "A"s, the next pair 55 correspond to 4 counts of the note "F", the next three pairs of digits (08) correspond to three "G"s, the next pair 54 correspond to 4 counts of the note "E" and the last pair 16 correspond to a two count rest.
Having illustrated the principle of how a melody is generated using the numeric data in a message, an example of an algorithm will now be given. It will be assumed that the pager has a user interface displaying a number of menus in response to successive actuation of a menu key. At the Set Melody Screen, three distinct melody types are selectable.
1. Factory default melodies which are stored in melody numbers, say 1 to 9;
2. User programmed melodies, which are stored in melody numbers, say 10to 18;
3. Automatic Data Play (ADP) melodies, which is offered to the user with a separate prompt where for example number 19 would otherwise be displayed. In ADP melodies are generated from the numeric and/or alphanumeric data in incoming messages.
In the interests of brevity, factory default melodies and user programmed melodies will not be discussed as they form no part of the inventive step and also are known per se in the art.
Assuming a 20 digit numeric message:
The definition of the single digit fields for tempo t and plays p is as described above with reference to FIG. 2. The double digit fields n1 to n9 correspond to nine notes or rests with variable pitch and length.
The conversion is as follows:
The examples shown assume a tonic "C".
As mentioned above, 00, 16, 32, and 48 are rests of duration one to four beats, respectively.
In formatting messages in the paging system controller PSC (FIG. 1) a number of special cases arise and are dealt with as follows:
1. Special formatting characters including spaces (message nibble values over 9), are ignored.
2. Messages shorter than 20 digits will play fewer notes.
3. If there is an odd number of digits, the last digit is prefixed with 0 to provide a pair of numbers for the last note, e.g. 1234567 is pre-converted to 12 34 56 07.
4. A message containing less than three digits is treated as a tone-only call for melody purposes as there is no note information in it.
5. Messages which consist only of rests default to playing a factory default melody.
6. If tone-only calls are played, or alerted in ADP mode then, as there is no note data, the source address value is used to index to a melody number in the pager. For example a tone-only call on source address 1 causes factory default melody 1 to be played.
7. Tone-only calls cannot be stored as User programmed melodies.
8. Messages containing data which is errored are played as defined above. Note that this may mean the melody is different from the "correct" melody. The "most significant" digits, i.e. those that represent the tempo and number of plays, are the least likely to be corrupted.
The conversion algorithm has the following properties:
1. The algorithm allows flexible generation of user programmed melodies, while also supporting ADP mode, which requires a repeatable, non-dissonant and reasonably unique melody to be generated from any telephone number.
2. The pitch range allows fifteen separate pitches essentially in one key, and spanning two octaves.
3. {tonic}, the absolute pitch start point, is fixed to suit the range of the speaker.
4. Notes may have one of four durations.
5. The allowed tempo range is narrowed to ensure quality of ADP call alerts.
6. The tempo is constant through the generated melody.
7. The minimum number of plays is 5. This ensures that generated melodies are sufficiently long to alert the user to a new message.
8. Note values greater than 63 will occur either as a result of erroneous melody construction by the user, or due to normal message data in ADP mode. All note values are modulo 64 ensuring that all values are transformed into a meaningful note.
In ADP mode, any incoming message is alerted by converting and then playing its message data as a melody call alert. The incoming message may be numeric or alphanumeric. This feature allows the pager to be used by visually impaired users who may learn to recognise the melodies generated by frequently received telephone numbers.
For urgent messages, these may be indicated by the message causing a change in the melodic alert generated by that message or by arranging for all messages received on a given address being treated as urgent.
Normally the pager does not support automatic storage of melodies generated in ADP mode, because a melody can be generated from the numeric data as received.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a one-way digital paging system, the present invention may be used in a two-way paging system, a cellular or cordless telephone system and any other suitable communication systems. Further although the present invention has been described with reference to numeric messages, alpha-numeric messages may also be used to generate melodic alerting signals.
From reading the present disclosure, other modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. Such modifications may involve other features which are already known in the design, manufacture and use of communication systems or component parts thereof and which may be used instead of or in addition to features already described herein.

Simple and functional10/27/2008
A stand-alone answering machine can't get much easier than this. Do read the instructions carefully, though. Experiment with different positions when recording your outgoing message to get the best clarity. Otherwise, it's simple, it works and it's priced right.
Good value, mediocre sound7/21/2008
I bought this answering machine after reading the reviews and agree with most of them. After using it for a few weeks, I like it except that the sound is a little distorted. My callers don't recognize my voice on the message.
Value for the money6/1/2008
This machine offers lots of flexibility and works as advertised. My only negative is the poor quality of the "machine's voice" for the various functions including announcing messages, etc.
Satisfied Customer2/17/2008
The answering machine has performed as advertised. The instruction booklet is simple to understand. A little "trial and error" processing was required to get it fully setup, but thereafter everything went smoothly. The only disappointment I experienced was color. I thought I was ordering a white unit, but I received a black unit. I don't consider the color issue significant.

The answering machine was easy to set up. The price was great from this site. Easy to access messages remotely. I am thrilled not to pay a monthly fee for voicemail service through our local phone company. Keep in mind that you are required to sign in person upon delivery - UPS will not leave it at the door.
reliable product11/1/2006
Many answering machines in my experience are unreliable or missing key features. This one is solid, reliable and has the features that are necessary.
A real surprize!2/27/2006
I had been using telephone co. message system for years at cost of about 4.00 bucks a month. No more! I had this thing set up with all 4 voicemail boxes in less than 5 minutes And the thing works just great! Easy access when checking in for messages while away too! I had just recently subscribed to VOIP and all those codes, numbers and #'s were just too much rig-ama-row to access messages. I darn near didn't get this--It was a last second add on to my order. What a nice surprize!3 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Over 15 years ago, the international aid organization, World Relief (coincidentally also headquartered in Baltimore), planted one of its own, Kevin Sanderson, in Nicaragua to lead an operation designed to help rural coffee farmers rebuild their lives and businesses after having left them behind for a 10-year civil war. With a background in both agriculture and finance, Kevin was ideally suited for the task and made Nicaragua not only his project, but also his home, marrying a Nicaraguan and starting a family there.
Often deemed an MFI (micro-finance institution), PAC is really so much more. It's a holistic "value-chain" operation. Soup-to-nuts. First, they scour for coffee farmers with entrepreneurial blood. They give that entrepreneur the freedom and responsibility to build his own team of farmers and plantation workers. Then, often contradicting over 100 years of tradition, they train them in environmentally sensitive, sustainable farming techniques. They provide the financing for a cash-intensive harvest and streamlined processing, even connecting the farmers to roasters. Every PAC coffee farmer now meets Fair Trade Certified standards, allowing their product to be sold at a premium and quite possibly end up in the bottom of your cup of specialty coffee.
After about seven years (and in keeping with their core beliefs), World Relief turned over the reins of the operation to the Nicaraguans, now led by Mario, who led Rick and me 3,000 feet in elevation to the home and business of Claudio Martinez. Claudio, one of PAC's anointed entrepreneurs, was waiting for us on his porch with several of his farmers. Telling us their stories through a translator, Rick and I sat aghast as one farmer after another told us how this economic initiative had not only transformed their vocation, but redeemed their whole lives, providing their families and entire villages with the chance for a new life.
PAC's innovation has now extended well beyond Central America's most famous crop. They have also trained farmers to diversify their yields with cocoa and vegetables—and not just any vegetables. We traversed a recently developed farm that yields multiple specialized crops that aren't indigenous to or even consumed in Nicaragua (or the U.S.), but are much loved in the world's two most populous nations, China and India.
It may have been at that very moment—several days into the trip and 10 hours into the PAC expedition—that I finally understood paternalism and began to recognize my own. I had been warned of the difficulty we have rendering aid in developing regions as Americans. Almost immune to our own affluence, we tend to presume the superiority of our balance sheets and income statements equates to at least a higher work ethic if not (although we wouldn't voice it) superior ingenuity or even intelligence.
It's almost as if we assume our ideas for improved healthcare, education, business and waste management are better because we have a 401k and can record our television shows to watch at our convenience with a DVR from our iPhones. But standing in the middle of that Asian vegetable field in Nicaragua, I was forced to acknowledge that everyone I interacted with that day worked harder and longer, and employed a greater level of creativity, ingenuity and productivity, than just about anything I've seen in the States.
I am not their helper. I can only be their partner, and may be lucky to make the cut.
After completing our 13-hour tour of coffee plantations, vegetable fields and cocoa processing plants with the Marios, all the while hearing stories about how they've overcome everything from illness, weather and crop failure to social movements designed to weaken their businesses, Rick and I were about one cup of Nicaraguan Joe from applying for citizenship. Thankfully, our journey there is just beginning.
This is not just another emotional story intended to tug at your heart strings enough to get you to open your check book and help these organizations, although to that I am not opposed. This story is for you. While every word is true, it also stands as a metaphor for the influence of money in our lives, regardless of our geography. The same issues that create systemic failure and success with money on a global scale also impact us personally.
Were I to simply declare that the pursuit of money for its own sake—greed—leads to nothing short of death while money employed as the currency of relationship brings life abundant, you might accuse me of over-dramatizing. This is because in our country and your neighborhood this is not so pervasively and visually evident. But death visits those in La Chureca and other pockets of hell on Earth daily, even for the living, and the primary source of this pain is financially rooted. Meanwhile, tangible assets shared in partnership by caring individuals, associations, organizations and companies are often the very vehicle of hope that transforms lives for the better, materially, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Is the cable compatible to connect to a CRT (tube) television. Other words not being a flat screen television
- Asked by Pam G
Apple Composite AV Cable
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes, it is. The TV must have an available A/V Input (with female RCA jacks).
Just plug the adapter cable in and set the TV "Source" to that input. If your iPod or iPhone is set up correctly, you simply play your video and it is sent out to the TV.

In this course, author and educator Chris Mattia demonstrates how to use the Apple iBooks Author application to create and publish your own ebook, without extensive design or publishing experience.
Follow along with Chris as he assembles, refines, and publishes a dynamic and engaging ebook for distribution on the iPad using the iBooks app. The course demonstrates the process of adding all of the components of a dynamic ebook, including engaging text, images, audio, video, 3D models, and dynamic web content. It also shows how to customize the iBooks Author interface and leverage built-in templates to produce a beautifully designed and polished ebook. The course wraps up with a review of the iBookstore publishing process.
Let's begin creating our own custom layout for Explore California Travel Guide. For each of our tours, it would be great to include a photo collage of images that have been submitted from various people who have taken our tour. Let's create a custom template that will make this process easier for us in the future. To begin, make sure you have your layouts visible and scroll to the bottom of the Pages section and find the Blank layout. Then right-click or Ctrl+Click on the blank layout and choose Duplicate.
Then change the name to Photo Collage. Make sure the Photo Collage is selected and then click inside the main window. We'll begin by opening up our Media browser and grabbing a placeholder image out of our photos collection and simply dropping it on to our page. Any photo here will do. I'm using one out of the chapter 2 exercise files called Placeholder. Next, we want to create a small footer to the image so we can have a place to put in our Explorer's name. To do this, simply come up to the top and select Shapes, and we'll select the box shape.
Then we'll resize the box so that it's the same width as our image and approximately 50 pixels high. We'll then make sure we move that box into place so that it snaps to the very bottom of our image. We can then open up our Inspector and on the Graphics tab, change the fill for the box to Color Fill, click on the color chip, and change the color to black. We can then change the Opacity of this box down to 40% and now we have a nice place to put our text.
Next, we'll go up and select the Text Box tool to create a new text box. We'll double-click on the text and simply type in "Explorer's Name." We'll select that text and change the color of the text to white and the size to 24 points. We'll deselect the text and then move the text box into place and resize the text box so that it's centered in the bottom of our image.
We want to define this text as its own style. To do this, simply click on the text box to select it, and then at the bottom of your style sheet, click the plus and choose Create Paragraph Style from Selection. A sheet will pull down, and we can define this new paragraph style as Explorer's Name. We'll click the OK button and now Explorer's Name is a new paragraph style. Next, we'll add another text box.
In this text box, simply type in a 1 and we're going to use this text box for our page numbers. Go ahead and select the text and click the right-hand Justify tool. Then resize your text box and drag it down into the lower right-hand corner of the page. Then select the text box one more time, and we need to define this text as being a member of our footer. This will automatically apply the footer's style to this text.
Next, we'll create one more text box, and we'll add the text "Photos from the" and we'll type in all caps "CHAPTER TOUR." Next, we'll go ahead and resize the text box and drag it into place, making sure we fill the bottom of the page. And then we're going to define this text box as being a heading 1. Our layout is looking pretty good now.
We'll need to do a little more work on the image and we'll do that in the next movie.

I haven't read about hardware designed specifically for Facebook. As for Facebook being useless, it depends on the individual. Take a look at MySpace. There are people that used it since day one and despite its lack of popularity (compared to Facebook), it's still around.
Funny, all these apps/hardware integrating Facebook and when FB flops, it will at some point and time just like MySpace, you have a bunch of useless hardware/software features.

Tip Jar
Local10.com - A state inspector found a major roach problem inside popular DiSalvo's Pizzeria in Hollywood last week, and frozen meat was found in a bathroom at Dragon 1 Chinese in Miami.
Records show five South Florida restaurants were ordered shut last week by inspectors with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Below is a list of the restaurants and some of their violations. All the places listed were allowed to re-open following an ordered clean up and re-inspection. continue
Daninfo.com - "Cesspool" sludge and decaying mouse carcasses doomed the much-buzzed-aboutMission Chinese Foodrestaurant, according to a lawsuit filed by celebrity chefDanny Bowienand his partners against their former landlord.
The restaurateurs are demanding at least $500,000 from Abraham Noy, owner of 154 Orchard St., to make up for their lost profits and "immeasurable harm to their reputations and brand" after the restaurant was shut down twice by the Health Department and closed for good last year, court records show.
The lawsuit, filed July 31 inManhattan Supreme Court, accuses Noy of leasing Mission Chinese a space that was not up to code and then refusing to make repairs even though structural issues contributed to a rodent problem so severe that a "cesspool" of sludge and mouse corpses was discovered in a storage closet, according to the suit.
"As a result of these wrongful acts... [Mission Chinese] was forced to discontinue and abandon their use of the property," the suit says.
Noy's lawyer said his client denied the lawsuit's allegations, but declined to comment further. The lawyer for Mission Chinese declined to comment. Continue!
WFMYnews2.com -Mary's Gourmet Diner in Winston-Salem was offering discounts to some customers who prayed before eating their meal. After word of this got out, the restaurant has been getting national attention.
According to CNN's Headline News (HLN), this all started with a receipt posted to an Orlando radio station's website. Like most receipts, it showed the subtotal and then discounts. The discount listed was 15 percent for "praying in public."
Jordan Smith said she traveled to Winston-Salem for business and stopped for a meal there. She told HLN the group "prayed over our meal and the waitress came over at the end of the meal and said, 'Just so you know, we gave you a 15 percent discount for praying,' which I'd never seen before."

Chicagotribune.com - Mount Prospect has agreed to a $6.5 million settlement that will end an unusual lawsuit filed by a restaurant owner who sued the village using a federal law more commonly used to bust organized crime.
The Village Board on Tuesday night approved the settlement with the owner of Ye Olde Town Inn, Tod Curtis, who has run the pizzeria for more than 40 years, said one of his lawyers, Riccardo DiMonte. Under the agreement, the village and its insurer will pay $6.5 million, $2 million of which will go toward attorney fees and legal costs. The village will pay $439,002 and an insurer will cover the rest, according to the agreement.
Curtis' lawsuit was noteworthy because he cited federal civil racketeering law in 2008 as he accused village officials and a local developer of trying to force him out of his downtown business to make way for a new development project. The lawsuit alleged the village and Oz Development LLC collaborated to try to push him out, violating the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, known as RICO.
Sacbee.com -When California's minimum wage jumped from $8 to $9 on July 1, owners of restaurants, coffee shops and bars braced for the fallout. They would either have to bump up prices and risk losing customers or absorb the hit and deal with slimmer margins.
Some had developed new cost-and-pricing strategies months ago to account for the 12.5-percent hourly increase, sprinkling in price hikes here and there throughout the menu so they wouldn't be so noticeable to the consumer.
"We did it two-fold," said Troy Paski, owner of Hoppy Brewing, a popular restaurant and brewpub in East Sacramento. "We addressed the issue early so there wouldn't be so much sticker shock. Beer and liquor went up last November.Food priceswent up in April."
"We hemmed and hawed about raising prices," said Kimio Bazett, co-owner of Hook & Ladder and The Golden Bear, two busy midtown restaurant/bars that employ 84 people, half of whom earn minimum wage. Continue

Browardpalmbeach.com - If the economy ever gets so bad that fish becomes our new currency, these two Dania Beach thieves are going to be Rockerfellers.
The Broward Sheriff's Office says that two men broke into the popular dockside restaurant Rustic Inn overnight and ganked themselves 200 pounds of Maine lobster, 100 pounds of blue crab, 40 pounds of crabmeat, 100 pounds of Dungeness crab, 100 pounds of grouper and 100 pounds of snapper.
All told, the seafood robbery is estimated at 640 pounds and worth $6,435, according to BSO.
The burglars broke into the Rustic Inn on July 5th at around 4:20 a.m., according to surveillance footage turned into authorities.
The two men, described as in their 20s, seemed to know exactly what they were doing, and where to go to get what they wanted. Using a wrench and a fishhook, the two opened the locked kitchen freezers and went to town on all the seafood. Continue

NRN.com - A group of 27 McDonald's owner-operators representing 231 domestic restaurants have given the most pessimistic outlook for the next six months of business in the history of Janney Capital Markets' quarterly McDonald's Franchisee Survey, placing a majority of the blame on the brand's senior leadership.Janney's restaurant analyst, Mark Kalinowski, wrote in a research note that the franchisees surveyed on their six-month outlook gave an average rating of 1.84 on a scale of 1 to 5, in which 1 means "poor" and 5 means "excellent." Nine of the 27 respondents rated their outlook at 1, and no franchisees indicated their outlook was a 5."This 1.84 number is meaningfully below the 2.9 average result over the history of the survey and below the 2.21 result from three months ago," Kalinowski wrote. "Indeed, this result becomes the worst ever in our decade plus of conducting this survey, even lower than the previous low score of 1.89 from six months ago." Continue
