DEFINITION of 'Mechanic's Lien'
A guarantee of payment to builders, contracters and construction firms that build or repair structures. Mechanic's liens also extend to suppliers of materials and subcontractors and cover building repairs as well. The lien ensures that the workmen are paid before anyone else in the event of liquidation.
A mechanic's lien is also known as "artisans' liens" or "materialmen's liens" .
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Mechanic's Lien'
Mechanic's liens are often necessary to secure construction help on a project. The lien stays in force until the project is finished and all constuction personnel have been paid.
From an investment standpoint, it is important to note that mechanic's liens generally have a higher priority than other forms of debt. This priority determines the hierarchy of claims in the event of foreclosure or repossession. Interestingly, mechanics liens were not named after automobile mechanics seeking payment for repair services. Instead, the term traces its roots back to the 18th century, when laborers were often referred to as "mechanics."

Discuss in the Sony Alpha / Nex E-mount (APS-C) Talk forum
The FE 35mm F2.8 ZA is designed for Sony's A7 and A7R full frame mirrorless models, on which it offers a classic moderate wideangle field of view. It will also work on Sony's APS-C / NEX E-mount cameras, offering a 52.5mm-equivalent angle of view (although users of these cameras will likely be better served by the E 35mm F1.8 OSS). It uses a linear stepper motor for silent autofocus, and at just 120g / 4.3oz, is one of the smallest and lightest full frame lenses around.

Heathcote man mutilated by roo
Mick Hingston was trying to save his dogs from a 2m kangaroo but he needed rescuing when it turned on him.BARBARA SUNGAILA April 8, 2014 9:46am
Heathcote resident Mick Hingston is recovering after a frightening kangaroo attack last Monday.
The 73-year-old underwent surgery to rebuild his ear and his injuries also included bruising and cuts to his head, back and arms.
Mr Hingston said the animal was first seen in a dam just over 50m from his house on Saturday, and it returned two days later.
''On Monday the dogs were barking fairly early in the morning, about 8 o'clock or so,'' he said.
''I though 'Now what's going on?' and I realised this big kangaroo had come back again and it was in the dam and the two dogs were challenging it in the dam.''
Mr Hingston called his neighbours for help and went to the edge of the dam to rescue his dogs.
As he stood watching the kangaroo, it turned and came towards him.
''He came out of the dam and next minute we were eye to eye and then he was on the high side and I was on the flat side looking up to him,'' Mr Hingston said.
'' He was blind in one eye.
''I could see the movement of him and I thought 'I'm in trouble here'.
''And next minute he came at me. Big claws came out like so. He came at me and I stumbled.
''I went to the ground, and as I was going down I felt this swoosh and I thought 'That hurt' and next minute he was on top of me.''
Fortunately for Mr Hingston his neighbour Dave White frightened off the kangaroo then took Mr Hingston to Heathcote hospital because his ear was badly damaged.
''They worked on me for some period of time,'' Mr Hingston said.
''They thought they may have been able to stitch (the ear) but when they realised all the cartilages were torn within the ear, they said 'There's a plastic surgeon now in at Bendigo and we'll get the ambulance and we'll take you in'.''
Mr Hingston underwent surgery later the same day and was able to go home afterwards.
He is now recovering at home.
''I am feeling relieved and grateful for the assistance given to me by so many people,'' he said.
''Firstly a big 'thank you' to my neighbours who helped me rescue my dogs from the dam and made sure I got to the hospital after I was attacked.
''Many thanks also for the attention and treatment given by the medical and nursing staff at Heathcote hospital and the paramedics who took me to Bendigo hospital.
''And everyone at Bendigo hospital treated me with thoughtfulness and skill and I am so grateful to the doctors who performed microsurgery on my ear."
Heathcote Police Leading Senior Constable Jason Peers said it was the second kangaroo attack in two months that he was aware of.
''Four to six weeks ago there was an aggressive roo in a backyard in Willow Rd, Heathcote,'' he said.
''It had taken ownership of the backyard and was starting to attack the owner's dogs.
''It got too brave and tried to get up the back steps.
''It was a really aggressive male.''
He said it attacked the resident and she suffered scratches to her back but was not seriously injured.
Leading Sen. Constable Peers said more kangaroos were venturing into backyards due to food shortages and they had the potential to be very dangerous — particularly older males that had been forced out of their mobs after losing their supremacy to younger males.
''The best thing to do is to stay away from them,'' he said.
The kangaroo that attacked Mr Hingston was a lone male estimated at over 2m in height.
Mr Hingston said he never wanted to repeat his encounter with the ''old man roo''.
''I intend to stay well away from big roos in the future and hope that my experience will act as a deterrent to people who have kangaroos on their property,'' he said.
Leading Sen. Constable Peers advised residents with kangaroos in their backyards to call council animal control if there was no immediate danger, but in an emergency they could call the police.
Animal control reports can be made to: City of Greater Bendigo on 5434

Caught on film: heartbreaking moment five-year-old is shot by gang as she plays in shop
Related Articles
Published: 26 March 2012
This is five-year-old Thusha Kamaleswaran playing happily in her uncle's shop in Stockwell a split second before she became the victim of a gun gang.
Shocking footage of the shooting was released by police hours after three gang members were found guilty.
The bullet which hit her was intended for a suspected drug dealer.
Nathaniel Grant, the evil thug who pulled the trigger, had been cleared of an identical shooting three years earlier, it can be revealed for the first time today.
Thusha's heart stopped twice before she was brought back to life by doctors but she remains paralysed for life.
The gunmen also shot a shopper in the face and he too had a remarkable escape and has recovered despite the bullet still being lodged in his neck.
Grant, 21 - a member of the GAS or OC gang in Brixton, had opened fire into the shop in Stockwell in March last year.
Two years ago he was cleared on the judge's direction of the murder of Ryan Bravo who was also hit by indiscriminate drive-by shooting into a Costcutter shop in Walworth.
The intended victim of that shooting in August 2008 was a member of the Peckham Young Guns who had run into the shop.
The man Grant was attempting to kill when he hit Thusha was Roshaun Bryan, allegedly a member of the Stockwell-based ABM gang.
Grant, of Camberwell, Kazeem Kolawole, 19 of Kennington, and Anthony McCalla, 19 of Streatham, were all found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Thusha and to Mr Selvakumar, and the attempted murder of Mr Bryan.
They will be sentenced later by Judge Martin Stephens QC.
Thusha is in Stoke Mandeville hospital but although she is allowed home at weekends she will never walk again.
Twenty two officers in the police investigation are running the Three Peaks in September to raise money for a wheelchair or other urgently needed equipment for Thusha's family.
During the trial, the court heard that seconds before the shorts rang out Thusha had been playing happily in the shop.
She was the niece of the shop owner and would have been visible to the gunman as she came forward from the stockroom into an aisle.
Dramatic CCTV footage caught the moment she was struck in the chest and Roshan Selvakumar, 35 who had been quietly shopping, was hit in the face.
Describing the terrifying moments, her mother Sharmila Kamaleswaran said: "I saw Thusha as she was about to fall down as if her legs were about to give up on her.
"I tried to grab her and stop her from falling. Thusha asked me to pick her up but I couldn't.
"I asked Mahadavan (Vikneswaran an uncle) to pick her up and take her into the office room. He kept her on his lap.
"My husband entered and tore up an empty cardboard box and Thusha was laid on it. She looked as if she was about to faint so I poured water into a cup and it was sprinkled on her face.
"Thusha told me she was finding it difficult to breathe. Mahadava opened her coat and then shouted that Thusha had been shot.
"She was taken to hospital. Her injuries affected her spine so she will not be able to walk for the rest of her life."
The bullet had entered Thusha's chest, passed through her body and out of her back.
She went into cardiac arrest and only emergency surgery at the scene saved her.
She had a second cardiac arrest after arriving at Kings College hospital but doctors were able to restart her heart for a second time. Mr Selvakumar was also taken to Kings College but his injuries proved not to be life threatening.
On the night of the shooting gang members had gathered in Brixton and taken part in a test firing of the hand gun to be used in the attack in Hammelton Green.
Then the three defendants headed off on their bikes to Stockwell Road, two of them wearing hoods and the third with a woollen hat.
As they get closer to their target area, CCTV cameras show them now wearing white masks over the bottom of their faces.
As they approached Stockwell Road they spotted their target and went after him through the rival gang's territory.
Bryan sought refuge in the Stockwell Food and Wine shop and Grant fired two shots into the shop before they escaped.
GAS gang members also stabbed to death Zac Olumegbon, 15, outside school gates in West Norwood in July 2010.
Another member Ashley Bucknor was jailed for a minimum of 32 years for the Ryan Bravo shooting which he carried out shortly after being released from prison for stabbing a 40-year-old man.
'Deadly posturing' of gangs led to Thusha tragedy
The gangsters who shot Thusha Kamaleswaran are part of the deadly posturing which has turned parts of South London into a ghettoland of gang feuds.
The GAS gang, or Guns And Shanks, grew out of the OC (Organised Crime) collective and prides itself on being the dominant force in Brixton.
They perceive the bitterest rivals to be the Peckham Young Guns, ABM (All 'Bout Money) of Stockwell and TN1 (Trust No One) of Tulse Hill.
Their one common link is bling, the remorseless thudding beat of 'gangsta' rap and the terrifying array of weaponry they show off on YouTube.
It is the ever increasingly easy access to guns and the routine carrying of knives which makes this generation so much deadlier than past gang crazes.
During the Old Bailey trial phone messages retrieved from gang members' BlackBerrys showed how their grandstanding and hierarchy worked.
Nathaniel Grant and Kazeem Kolawole would refer to "pagans" (rivals) who would "get fame soon on the South London Press."
DC Colin Whiteway, from the Met's anti-gang Operation Trident task force, explained this referred to them becoming victims of a crime news story.
"That's how it always goes. The incidents are always reported within the South London Press and the national press," he said.
At one point Kolawole poured scorn on his enemies by suggesting: "They're in Waterloo spraying people's grandmas."
Said DC Whiteway: "Spraying is usually a term associated with the firing of automatic weapons, particularly machine guns.".
He went on: "The gangs are made up normally of younger youths, aged between 13 and into their early or mid-twenties.
"They're made up normally of three tiers. There's a leadership, which includes senior members of the gang - they're known as the olders - and then the next tier are the youngers, and they're the youths normally between 15 and 17.
"And then the tinys, who are the youngest. They're the ones who are recruited from the ages of about 12 and 13."
He added: 'My experience of the gangs has been that they have originally been formed from gangs that have existed from Jamaica.
"When I first started that's the people we were investigating. The second, third and fourth generation children have then formed their own gangs within their local areas."
Gangs are geographically based and just evolve, often with shifting associations, because there was no "membership card".
"There may well be disputes within larger gangs where, as a result of that dispute, a a gang will form in itself, evolve itself," he said.
"So if, for instance, there was a dispute within a gang and one half was from a particular estate they will then form their own gang on that estate.
"Also, where the leadership or the senior members have been arrested and are no longer with them it normally leads to younger members, who will then evolve from the gang they're in into another gang or existing gang.
"A further way that they evolve is because of where they're recruited from - gang members - which is predominantly from the schools.
"So for instance a school in Stockwell will be attended by children from all over the catchment area.
"They will be recruited from that school, despite the fact they don't actually live in Stockwell and will form a satellite of that gang elsewhere."

Hi all,
My sister and I would like to go downhill skiing in New England in late Feb for about 10 days. We both have skied before but would still consider ourselves beginners. We would like easy slopes rather than anything too difficult.
We are not into a lot of night-life but would like some restaurants and bars to visit.
Any recommendations on where to go?
Many thanks, Laura.

Okemo in Ludlow, VT is a great area for beginners and the town is decent. Killington, VT does have many beginner trails but is huge and may overwhelm you. It has lots of restaurants and bars. Smaller Pico is close by.

My youngest granddaughter's first ride, at age 12. The Shenandoah team made it simple and easy for her. She's hooked, for life. A great family experience!
Overall we had a great time, it was a little confusing of where to go and when we got there the door was locked so we had to walk around to find someone to ask where we go but once we got past that it went very well. Our guide was wonderful and very friendly. Everything went well and we...
I'm not a big fan of horses, but my wife and kids are. They lived it and I loved the trail ride for an hour the scenery was amazing and relaxed. Kids liked their lessons and the trainers are very experienced and nice.
If you like riding, this is the place to visit.
Friendly guides and calm horses for my 11-year-old daughter's ride on the 4th of July. We also attended the rodeo that night which was awesome. The fireworks at the end of the show were also awesome!!
My wife and I went on a private 2 hour trail ride to celebrate our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! Weather and views were amazing, horses were beautiful and obedient, our guide Mary was enjoyable and knowledgeable as well. Facility is new and well designed, the little store area had some unique hand-made products. Made you feel incredibly welcome....
This was one of the most pleasant horseback riding experiences we've had in quite some time. The surroundings were gorgeous, the woods were green and beautiful, the guide was extremely pleasant, the horses were well trained and responsive. No one tried to sell you anything and certainly did not feel like a tourist trap, very professional outfit. Overall it was...
Mary was a awesome guide. The horses are very well trained. The trails and scenery was beautiful. I would go back again.
Wonderful experience! We will be back again this summer. Would of like to trot a little more but overall everything we could of asked for!
Thanks for a great time!
So much fun! My husband and I decided to try a sleigh ride. We had a very nice experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you!!
We went to Shenandoah for a sleigh ride. Everything about this ride was great. David and Alysa were terrific (David, what are you waiting for??) Highly recommend this facility.

We were here the last time in Bali and had to come back to Minami for the food again.
One of our favourite places in Ubud and the food and service is still wonderful
Thank you for being so attentive 🙏🏼
We came here few years ago and now still high standard and great Japanese cuisine. We had a Minami course. Start from aperitif (ume shu), starter, sushi, 2 bento boxes, sashimi...wow. As before amazing food. Minami keep going with high standard and I can tell if you want to eat high quality REAL Japanese food. This is the place to...
This is my 5th visit to Miami, and every time I am blown away by the attention to detail and flavor in every dish. The food is simply delicious and consistently so. I can hardly wait to eat there again!
Excellent food and service. The service was so on point and perfect. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and gave the best service I've had in years. The food was perfect, everything tasted so fresh and tasted amazing. Thank you for a wonderful night, we can't wait to come back again.
Perhaps not the best place when with a group of friends!
Staff struggled to keep up with orders but overall nice atmosphere.
Average price per head $30aud including meal and 2 drinks
One of my favorite restaurant in Ubud! Relaxing and romantic setting! Very sophisticated! Great service! Highly recommend!
One of my best meals in Ubud. Went back 4 more times during my 2 weeks in Ubud. A must try! Food is light, incredibly fresh and tasty. I love to eat and always on the lookout for great food.
Besides of the price, this is a good Japanese restaurant. The food is good but even the set menu is a little expensive.
Everything is top-notched, fresh, flavorful, fixed price menu is the way to go... Best in Ubud! Romantic setting and great service to boot.
Lovely setting, great for lunch or dinner. Attentive staff and great menu.
Complimentary cold towels upon arrival and a special appetiser, nice touches!
Clean toilet and lovely garden. Tuberose everywhere - my favourite flower!
Higher price than some places in Ubud, but still great value for ingredients used.
Would come again.

Soul Train
If anybody deserves to celebrate this weekend's debut of P-town's newfangled Metro light-rail system, it's the party people down at Homme Lounge. Like many along Camelback Road, the staff and patronage of the ultra-fly nightspot have suffered through the seemingly endless track construction that snarled traffic and caused massive headaches. But now there's a shiny new station located across the street, which will (hopefully) ferry in plenty of clubgoers for Soul Train on Saturday, December 27. The DJ duo of Kela and JC will be spinning a mix of groovy soul, funk, and "everything fun" during the fete, which also features $1 wells from 9 to 10 p.m. and $3 Finlandia vodka drinks until 11 p.m. The music starts at 9 p.m. with a $5 cover (or free for those in Soul Train attire). Call 602-234-3023 or visit www.myspace.com/phoenixhomme.

Delivery was great. Putting it together went well, with the help of 3 total helpers. The bed has received many compliments. Before I bought it, I questioned whether the trundle and drawers could come out of the opposite side that it was displayed. The response was no, it couldn't go out the other side. Well, the correct answer is yes. Yes, the trundle and drawers can be put in on either side; there is no track that is attached to the bed to make it go in and out only on one side. I bought this bed for our soon-to-be 3 year old and I hope it will last until college and beyond. It has a minor knick on it, but it is on the inside where no one will ever know (except me). I highly recommend this bed.
Got this bed for my son (age 6) and he LOVES it! I wanted something that would take up less space in his room and be accommodating if he had a sleep over or his sister and he wanted to do a slumber party in his room :) This eliminates the need for a dresser AND it has 2 beds! Only downer is the trundle height is not deep enough for the 10" mattress we were going to use, so we have to raise the bed to add a little height
Had a carpenter friend put it together, took the experienced guy almost 4 hours to put together, nice set up, had to make a few alterations where the boards were not cut correctly to fit, adjustments were easy for him, wouldn't have been for me!
We were almost done assembling this bed and realized they gave me 9 pieces of "M's" and no "N's". The parts are marked in letters. I am hoping customer service can get my missing pieces vs having me return it all which if I do that then I will not want it. Color is dark and some parts were real wood and filler parts were compressed wood. Over all its a great look and compare to what I see out there. If you put a very think full mattress on top it will almost reach the footboard. I think a thinner mattress will not take away the footboard and heard board character of the bed. I cant wait to use it and hoping the parts will arrive soon!
I love the way it looks, but some of the pieces were warped making it extra-difficult to put together. And the directions are pretty poor. But it really does look great and it is nice and sturdy.
Love the espresso color! Our 9" twin size ************ mattress fits fine in the trundle too. My handy husband was able to reverse the way the trundle faced. He also had to change a couple parts that came in the wrong direction :( we got an overstock, full mattress for it. The bed sits high, which is nice. Came w a lot of parts, so good thing my husband is handy! Our son loves it! I couldn't find anything this nice in the stores. Hopefully we can find a matching nightstand..
The bed is just what I expected. To person for ease of assembly but all pieces were there and everything went together correctly. Our twin mattress that we use for the trundle was a thicker style and does not fit under the bed correctly. We put little lifters under the legs of the bed and everything works perfectly. Very happy with their purchase
I was so skeptical to order this large purchase on line. In fact, I had buyers remorse and doubted the purchase. THEN it was delivered ALL together. NO problems, exactly what I thought it should be. Whew! It did take about 3 hours to put it together. The hardest part was the bottom 3 drawers. It took some engineering to get the bottom of the drawers to fit properly but eventually (by the 3rd one) I got the hang of it.
Delivery was awesome- company called to schedule, was on time, and put the pallet in my garage. Everything was packaged well and nothing was damaged or scratched. All of the parts were there. It took my 14 year old daughter and me (the mom) about 3 hours to put together. You need a drill or electric screw driver. The drawers were not easy to put together and have the least "quality" to them- cheap wood inside. Something that was unexpected is that the frame screws together. There are no brackets that slide into headboard and footboard slots, so taking this bed apart is more of a chore. The bed is very high if you have a pillow top mattress, but my teenage daughter loves the bed. Color is the same as pictured. I am hoping it last her through college, but if not, it will be a beautiful guest bedroom bed when she flies the coop.
Overstock is being very good about returning and reshipping, but I have had to return it twice due to gashes and broken peices when unpacked. Currently waiting for the second shipments to be picked up and a third shipment to be sent. Actual bed is very nice if it were delivered in-tact.

Peripheral unit controller
Image Number 8 for
United States Patent #4428044
A synchronization scheme is used in a peripheral unit controller which consists of two duplicated units whose outputs are matched. In addition, each duplicated unit contains a pair of microprocessors whose outputs are also matched. The synchronization scheme allows each microprocessor to run its own diagnostics independently, and to synchronize itself with the other microprocessor of the pair. After the synchronization occurs in both microprocessor pairs, the duplicated units are synchronized. Synchronization is achieved by using a real-time clock and the interrupt structure of each microprocessor.

All right, everyone stop posting your lip-sync videos, because we're not sure if anyone can top this.

Douglas Rodriguez has always been bold. He has taken unfamiliar flavors from Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and other Spanish-speaking points to the finest tables. The Godfather of Nuevo Latino still impresses diners with his Alma de Cuba in Philadelphia and Deseo in Scottsdale, Ariz., and his OLA Miami Beach may serve the best ceviches in town. In his latest endeavor, the namesake D. Rodriguez Cuba at the Hotel Astor, he returns to his roots with mixed results. On several visits, I found the food as up and down as a circus acrobat – service, too, could be graphed on a sine curve, veering from overbearing to exemplarily professional. At one point I stared out at a sea of plates … no fewer than seven … and realized that though I was still hungry, there was not one dish I really wanted to dig into.
Ambiance: Much as it did in its last incarnation as Maison D'Azur, the dining room glows with its sumptuous coffee and cream color scheme and low lighting. Smoky mirrors, burnished wood columns, terrazzo floors, ceiling fans and a vintage Cuban jazz soundtrack lend a festive and authentic air, and the adjacent garden is enchanting. But all that atmosphere can't make up for the erratic food, drinks and service.
What Worked
What Didn't Work
Chef Douglas Rodriguez, one of the creators of Nuevo Latino cuisine, which he started at Yuca, an upscale Cuban restauirant originally in Coral Gables.

We had a light lunch here and enjoyed the atmosphere and food, and we had a great server. Only downside was the cost......extremely high even for a nice resort.
We visited with a family in July. Great location, one of the best views you will find anywhere (it's even better in the winter). Take the time to walk around the patios, so nice.
My youngest boy had chicken fingers - very good. The burger is excellent and huge. The surprise was the pizza - the pizza was the best...
This is our second time having the afternoon tea at the Banff springs hotel. I don't think you could ask for a better view than the bow river at the Banff springs hotel as you enjoy your tea. If you never been they generally roll out a cart of 12 teas and explain them to you offer a sample to...
The outdoor terrace is a great place to sit and drink/chat, but the menu was pretty basic (burger, hot dog etc.) Everything was very salty. Come for the view. Eat only if you have to.
The outside terrace has absolutely stunning views of the valley. Inside depending where you sit may not see outside that well, but has a very cosy castle like feel. The food and drink is great but moderate-pricey.
We had lunch at the Lookout Patio at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and enjoyed great views of the mountains. Food was good and the service staff was attentive, but what makes the place is the location and the relaxed atmosphere. My teenage daughters did not stop commenting about how beautiful the place was and did not stop taking selfies...
We are avid Fairmont guests. We love the experience of being taken back to another time. A little pampering does not hurt.
One of our favourite experiences is sharing the Afternoon Tea with our friends from Calgary. On various weekends we have traveled up to Fairmont Banff Springs just for this.
The views from the lounge are amazing. The picturesque...
We loved our lunch and the view. Never ate there for dinner. seemed more like a lounging spot. Don't need reservations for dinner - probably only place in hotel where that is true unless you want to eat at 6 or after 8 (which is what we did).
We ate dinner here twice. Had salad and grilled cheese. It was good. Same as everything at the Fairmont - it was expensive. The waitstaff was very friendly.
We ate here a couple of times while staying at the Banff Springs and both times we were all happy with our meals. Very attentive service as well. The seafood chowder was amazing! My son had a burger and said it was very good.

Always when I have children guests I take them for a day at the museum. It has been always a great experience with hands on participation.
always love the summer camp that Lawrence Hall of Science had held in its facility as well having school and family trips to Hall of Science rather it was Lego, Sea Life, dinosaurs, etc. This place was to visit. I remember coming here more often than California Science in SF. Theres the jungle gym and the big whale at the...
You can come here and learn all about Dinosaurs and Climate change, but the real win in driving up the hill is the incredible view of the bay area you get at the Hall. By day you'll see four bridges: Golden Gate, Oakland-Bay, San Mateo, and Richmond, the entire bay and a magnificent sky and sea. By night, add a...
Lots of interactive, hands-on exhibits where kids (and adults) can create, construct, and experiment with materials. There's rooms for young children, as well as for older kids. You can enjoy a view of the bay and relax in the museum's outdoor area too. Don't miss it.
Great place to open minds of all ages. Took the grand kids here when Tilden Park was just to hot. They had a great time with age appropriate exhibits
Pluses: huge patio with climbable sculptures out front, grassy field with excellent picnic spots and great views in back, hands-on experiments, friendly and welcoming people.
My husband and I were somewhat surprised to find out that the Center is devoted almost exclusively to hands on activities for children. We were not accompanying children, but we spent most of our time watching other people's children at the exhibits. I wish there had been more geared to adults.
There is one display devoted to E. Lawrence and...
This small wel positioned museum is a must for small children who like to touch, spin, feel and have a lot of energy. There is something for the young person who likes to figure things out (puzzles) likes to run, likes to take things apart and likes to learn. A participating adult is necessary to explain many of the exhibits....
My husband & I visited the Lawrence Hall of Science for the first time in April 2015. My husband is a science buff (he has a MS in Physics) and works as scientist/engineer.
The two of us were really looking forward to visiting the Lawrence Hall of Science. But we were a bit disappointed with our visit. We both felt...
We visit family in the SF Bay Area a couple of times a year and have been making the Lawrence Hall of Science a regular stop while were there.

2014 NBA Draft Preview: Milwaukee Bucks
Jun 19, 2014, 8:00 AM EDT
Picks: 2, 31, 36, 48
Needs: EVERYTHING. The 76ers finished with four more wins than Milwaukee. The 76ers!
The Bucks' top prospect is Giannis Antetokounmpo, but even he's not good enough to justify taking anyone other than the best player available. Besides, his best position could end up anywhere between point guard and power forward. He could play with anyone.
John Henson is solid, and Brandon Knight is fine. But drafting based on the presence of players like that is how bad teams remain bad.
Take the best player available.
Trade possibilities: If the Cavaliers don't pounce first, Maybe Milwaukee can trade down with Philadelphia so the 76ers can get Wiggins. If the Bucks prefer Wiggins for themselves, it's probably not worth it. But if they want someone else, a well-executed bluff could net extra assets.
Otherwise, not much is cooking, though that could always change before draft night.
Predictions: The Bucks have worked or will work out Embiid, Wiggins, Parker and Dante Exum. Milwaukee is clearly doing its homework, analyzing the consensus top three prospects and even glimpsing the intriguing Exum.
If Joel Embiid falls to No. 2, the Bucks would likely take him. They're not worried about his back, and they don't fear a project.
If the Cavaliers take him Embiid No. 1, Milwaukee could go with Parker or Wiggins. The Bucks seems to be trending toward Parker, but they needn't pass on Wiggins just because Wiggins to Philadelphia is such a hot plan. This simple fact gets lost as mock drafts overwhelm this time of year, but Milwaukee has no obligation to help fulfill a narrative lower in the draft.
Exum at No. 2 is a longshot, though a possibility.
The Bucks could trade a second rounder, but they're probably better off using all three on cheap talent – maybe even drafting and stashing – and rebuilding in earnest. That's long overdue.
As long as they don't draft Parker over Wiggins because Parker's hometown of Chicago is closer to Milwaukee, they're doing alright.
- bougin89 - Jun 19, 2014 at 9:15 AM
Provided they don't trade out of the #2 pick and Wiggins is available, the Bucks have to draft Wiggins. Otherwise they need to seriously evaluate their medical opinion of Embiid. For me, he's a little too risky, so I'd go with Parker.
- 1historian - Jun 19, 2014 at 10:05 AM
So would Sam Smith – in any case.
- mungman69 - Jun 19, 2014 at 10:23 AM
Cavs take Parker, Bucks take Embiid, Sixers take Wiggans, Magic take Exum. That's my though TODAY!
- haaaaasoooooo - Jun 19, 2014 at 10:26 AM
If they could get Thad young and the three or ten pick from philly, they NEED to do it! They could draft a great PG at ten, and have a solid starting 5. Also, Larry sanders is available! Two top ten picks in this draft could give any team instant depth.
- madnova - Jun 19, 2014 at 1:34 PM
I'm not sure why exactly the Bucks would want Young, who plays their deepest position and would continue to be unhappy on another rebuilding team.
It's not like the Bucks are going to speed up the tempo like Philly did to inflate his stats for future trade value.
- phillysports1 - Jun 19, 2014 at 10:44 AM
Bucks are going draft Parker if Embiid is gone at #1 but I wouldn't be shock if Milwaukee selects Vonleh at #2 though, you just never know !
- madnova - Jun 19, 2014 at 1:38 PM
I'd be shocked if they drafted Vonleh over Parker, Wiggins, or Exum. That would be completely out of left field.
I'd be mildly surprised if they drafted Parker over Wiggins. Hammond has historically valued athleticism and potential over all else in the first round. I'm not sure why anyone expects him to suddenly change course this year.
- trevor123698 - Jun 19, 2014 at 5:39 PM
it would be better than getting parker
- bougin89 - Jun 19, 2014 at 3:34 PM
The Bucks won't be drafting Embiid.
- loubearkane - Jun 19, 2014 at 11:40 AM
Embiid broke his foot , being confirmed now
#1 Wiggins
#2 Parker
#3 Suck it 76ers
- phillysports1 - Jun 19, 2014 at 12:31 PM
Why the " suck it sixers " for ? You sound like my 6 year old nephew.

Motoring: How the British won then gave it away
Friday 14 June 1996
A more important plus about the eastern-most Caribbean island is that they're fond of Brits. They like and, what's more unusual these days, respect, the Royal Family. They erected plaques and monuments to the 300- odd years of British rule after being granted independence. And the island is full of places with names like St James, the Scotland district and St Michael. There's even a Trafalgar Square, complete with Nelson looking smug after whipping the Frogs and the Spaniards, shortly before asking Hardy for a goodbye kiss.
Years ago, when given the chance, they also used to buy British. You can see the evidence in the (many) scrapyards dotted through the island: old Fords and Morrises and Austins and Hillmans in their final stages of decomposition, as they return to earth. Some old stagers battle on. Although I went to Barbados for the sun and the sea, not to spot cars, I did a quick exercise on the way back to the airport, identifying the first 100 cars I saw. Two were British: an old Cortina, with not long to go, and a Hillman Hunter, also on its last legs. Far more significant, 91 of the 100 cars I saw were Japanese (for the anoraks among you, there were three Korean cars, a Malaysian Proton, an American Jeep, plus a Peugeot and a Citroen).
Twenty or 30 years ago, of course, 90 percent of the cars would have been British. The same is, and was, true of scores of ex-British colonies dotted around the globe, from the Cook Islands to Kenya. We owned their car markets. And then, in one of the greatest industrial suicides in history, we threw it all away. And it wasn't just in little countries, with tiny car markets, either.
I spent my childhood in Australia, where throughout the Sixties my dad was PR and advertising director for BMC-cum-BL-cum Leyland Australia. The British company was the biggest-selling importer. Minis and Morris 1100s were prized as inexpensive runabouts. Rovers, Triumphs and big Austins were more sophisticated and comfortable than the crude locally made Holdens and Fords. Land Rovers dominated the important 4 x 4 market. MGs were the best-selling sports cars, helped by their fold-back roofs (Aussies have always loved the sun) and their mechanical ruggedness.
I remember, with great clarity, my dad going to a business meeting in Britain in the late Sixties, when the Japanese were first starting to attack the Australian car market with their ornately styled, tinny, cheap little cars. Australia was the first Western car market they hit in a big way: it was big enough to give them an idea about whether Westerners would accept their wares but small enough so that a failure would not have resulted in an international loss of face.
My dad said to the gathered senior worthies of BL that the Japanese were a big threat, were starting to steal sales, and that unless they got off their butts and started to improve quality and value-for-money then they could, Hardy-style, kiss goodbye to it all. And a BL guy stood up and said they didn't consider the Japanese a threat. Simple as that. (And, parenthetically, don't be such a silly colonial git.)
My dad went back to Australia and resigned. Five years later, Leyland closed its Sydney assembly plant and, effectively, pulled out of the Australian market, handing it to the Japanese. The Japanese haven't looked back.
Leyland (now Rover) has. It now has a tiny operation out there, selling Land Rovers and, starting next year, new MGFs. One day they hope to sell Rover cars again.
During this centennial year of the British motor industry, it's become fashionable to mourn Rover's - "the nation's car maker" - loss of primacy in the home car market (its market share is now barely a third of what it was). But, to my mind, throwing away all the goodwill that existed towards Britain and British goods in scores of markets around the world - some tiny, some big - through shoddy workmanship and inept management was a much greater sin.
The irony is that Rover now makes good and reliable cars again: cars well suited to international markets. But it'll never get a chance to fight for market leadership again in the ex-British colonies. The Japanese are too well entrenched. And, unlike Rover, the Japanese are not stupid enough to throw it all away.

3 1/2 Stars -- A Nice, Entertaining Holiday Tale...But Far Below Cameron's A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Journey!,
This review is from: The Dogs of Christmas (Hardcover)
The Dogs Of Christmas is a charming holiday tale that explores the power of love, trust and a basket full of puppies. However, if you go in expecting this book to be even close to the caliber of Cameron's A Dog's Purpose and it's sequel, A Dog's Journey, you are more than likely going to feel that this book, while entertaining, did not meet your expectations.
I won't describe the plot of A Dog's Christmas, as this is very nicely provided in the Amazon Book Description above. Instead, I'll describe why I thought it to be a likable book but not one I'd recommend that you rush out to be buy -- unless you are a major dog lover with a strong need to read a nice uplifting story during this holiday season.
On the plus side, Cameron does a nice job in describing the joy a dog and a new litter of pups can bring to a person's life, as well as conveying the importance of animal rescue and adoption. However, where the book fell somehwat shot for me pertained to Cameron's development of his human characters -- and particularly of the main male character. To me, the humans in this book were pretty thinly developed and, thus came across as flat with little personality. As a result, while they were serviceable to the story, I never really came to care a lot about them. As a matter of fact, while I admire the main male character for the love he showed to the dogs, I thought of him mostly as a bit of a jerk.
I hope you find this review helpful in deciding if it is a book for you.
Happy Holidays!

Raptors rookie Davis sent to D-league for rehab assignment
Nov 22, 2010, 5:00 PM EDT
Toronto forward Ed Davis, who was the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft, has been assigned to the Erie Bayhawks of the D-League for what the Raptors are calling a "short-term rehabilitation and conditioning stint."
A knee injury has prevented the UNC product from making his NBA debut. The 21-year old Davis averaged 12.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game in his last college season, and is generally considered more of a long-term project than a player who will contribute immediately at the NBA level.

Nature's Way, DIM-plus, Estrogen Metabolism, 120 Veggie Caps

Works, only when using double the dose.
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2592683 on Feb 23, 2008
I'm a 33 year old man that is estrogen dominant and find that this product works well only when using double the dose for extensive use. It must be because of the fact that there is only 25mg of Dim per regular serving, in addition to the vegetable powder. Not very cost effective if you have to use 6+ capsules a day! There are other brands that have the same amount of Dim and more mg of vegetable powder per serving.
