My friends and I come here often. We are never disappointed. Especially love the sticky rice and the grilled ceaser salad - amazing! The staff are the nicest people ever

My husband and I were very disappointed with the food here. It was very very bland! Had the chicken green curry - tasted like the chicken was boiled then a curry sauce was poured over it. Just bland! We definitely won't be returning.

I have been going to this restaurant for many years now and I have tried a wide variety of dishes. I have yet to find something that was not delicious.

My favorite place. Great duck, great desserts and the service is the best. I also love that it is a BYOB because I am a beer lover and I can decide what's best for each meal.
Posted by a local on 03/06/2008
i agree with the others.They make great food, and coupled with an equally attractive ambience and pleasant & efficient waiters, it makes ur meal that much more flavorful. I really like their Pad Thai, lucky soup and the steamed Tulip dumpling( a true appetizer indeed!)we also regularly do take outs and mind you, their lunch is at half price..so, now u know how to avoid that pinch on ur pocket! Bon Appetit all!

Actor PETER SARSGAARD is hoping to move away from his wife MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL's native New York – insisting the couple should raise its family in a quieter city.
The longterm couple wed in May (09) and share a home in Brooklyn, where they raise three-year-old daughter Ramona.
However, Illinois-born Sarsgaard admits as their little girl grows older he's more keen for a change of pace – in his personal and professional lives.
He tells the New York Post, "Down the line, maybe someday I'd like to live in the Pacific Northwest. Trees, water, fewer people. And write. I'd like to write fiction."

Setting the Record Straight: East St. Louis and National Lampoon's Vacation
Categories: Apropos of Nothing
This week's feature story on the controversy brewing over nightclubs in East St. Louis includes this reference to the cinematic masterpiece that is National Lampoon's Vacation:
To many [East St. Louis] will forever be the place where a goofy honky from Chicago named Clark Griswold gets his hubcaps stolen in the movie Vacation.
Caricatures may depict a machine-gun-toting thug on every corner, but the sad reality is that the city is mostly desolate. Virtually every block is dotted with boarded-up or burned-out buildings.
If you've never seen Vacation then you need to update your Netflix queue pronto. In the meantime, here's a clip to give you an idea of the tone of the famed East St. Louis detour:
Five years ago, Ramis was the subject of an Unreal interview. The Q&A was prompted by another RFT story that made mention of the famed Lampoon's scene.
Even if it makes for great comedy, it's a shame that the ever-struggling Illinois city is forever linked with a brief sequence in a decades old movie, not least because it's a scene rife with negative black stereotypes. In fact, one of the reasons we mentioned the film in our story was to acknowledge East Boogie's big bad reputation in order to break it down.
But what if the good ol' Griswold family express actually ended up on the Northside instead of the Eastside on their trip to Wally World? According to the film's writer and director Harold Ramis, that's actually the case, even though the film's editing suggests otherwise.
At the time, a reader wrote-in and pointed out that the Griswolds are actually shown crossing the Mississippi River from the Illinois to the Missouri side before leaving the freeway and getting lost, therefore they couldn't possibly be in East St. Louis. However, as they're taking the exit, the camera cuts briefly to a freeway sign that says "East St. Louis." This geography mixup is pointed out in the "Goofs" section of the film's IMDB page, which also says the error has been edited out in some versions.
Here's what Ramis (the legend who also wrote and directed Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, and a dozen other classics) had to say about the sequence:
"They go over the [Poplar Street] bridge before it happens, so technically it would be in St. Louis," Ramis says of the scene in which Chase gets lost and prefaces his request for directions from the locals with an incomparably delivered "Excuse me, homes."
Many a moviegoer has misattributed the scene to East St. Louis, including writers at the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter. Not so St. Louis' own Steve Kratky, who called attention to the gaffe in a letter to the editor (see page 6).
"Nine out of ten people [in St. Louis] project their own image of East St. Louis onto the screen," says Ramis, a Washington University grad. "When I was in college, we used to go there to listen to music. It was always considered an edgy thing to do."
Ramis, who shot the "Excuse me, homes" bit on a Warner Bros. back lot in Hollywood, says he regrets having filmed it in the first place.
"I apologize for the whole scene," says Ramis. "I wouldn't think of doing a thing like that now. It was supposed to be about prejudice, when in fact it was prejudiced."
We said it once, we'll say it again: Excuse us, homes. Now, watch this:

I was somewhat dubious that this sponsor boycott of Rush Limbaugh for his days of misogynistic comments against Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke would be able to gain steam. But as of now, at least thirty-six advertisers have cancelled their ads for the show. Think Progress puts it at 39 advertisers. This includes large advertisers like Capital One.
Some of this is, to be honest, fuzzy math. For example, GEICO has not been an advertiser for Limbaugh's program for many years. But they advertised on stations that, for whatever reason, inadvertently played spots of theirs inside Limbaugh's show at one time or another. They promised this wouldn't happen again. That's not really an advertiser dropping Limbaugh. But it does have value, maybe even more value than a regular advertiser dropping out.
Because now, Netflix will hound radio stations to make sure their ads are kept out of Limbaugh shows, and they will drop the entire station if that fails. This becomes a major hassle for radio stations. I don't know that business quite as well as TV, but as I understand it there are local avails for advertising, just like local spots for broadcast television. And the station's advertisers get placed in those local avails on a generally ad hoc basis. Now somebody has to think to keep a growing list of advertisers out of those local spots in the three-hour Rush block. It's dangerous for them. And it's what will lead a station to decide it's no longer worth running Rush, especially if he starts losing ratings strength.
Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for Rush, Brent Bozell has leapt to his aid with the "I Stand With Rush" campaign.
Brent Bozell, the president and founder of the conservative Media Research Center, has launched a website in support of Rush Limbaugh in the wake of fallout over his attack on Sandra Fluke, because, as Bozell says, "this isn't about what Rush said last week, it's about roaring hypocrisy and it's about censorship."
"Make no mistake about it — there is a concerted effort under way to remove Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. To remove all conservative voices from the airwaves. And the liberal media are putting all of their weight behind it," Bozell says.
The site also asks supporters to sign a petition pledging their support to Limbaugh:
"I stand with Rush Limbaugh and appreciate the massive contribution that he has made to the conservative movement and our nation over the last 25 years. Rush has apologized. But the radical left will never accept it because they despise him and want him off the air. I condemn attempts by radical left-wing organizations and the media to censor Rush and his commonsense conservative message."
There are no metrics on the site to judge how successful this has been, but considering that the advertisers keep dropping, there hasn't exactly been a backlash yet.

Dallas Cowboys and the NFL
Latest news on the Cowboys
Yearly Archive for 2011
Cowboys sign receiver, cut McCann
IRVING – Seeking to bolster their ranks at wide receiver, the Dallas Cowboys signed Laurent Robinson on Tuesday. To make room for Robinson, the Cowboys cut cornerback Bryan McCann. McCann is expendable because the team signed veteran corner Frank Walker and because Terence Newman is expected to return to practice Thursday after missing six weeks […] [Read More]
Cowboys' Hatcher 'making a big impact on defense,' Garrett says
IRVING – One of the pleasant early surprises of the season has been the play of defensive end Jason Hatcher, who the Cowboys re-signed in free agency to a three-year reportedly worth $6 million with a $2.5 million signing bonus. A fourth-round pick by Dallas in 2006, Hatcher leads the club's defensive linemen with seven tackles […] [Read More]
Pain management will be the key to whether Romo plays against Redskins, Jones says
IRVING – Tony Romo's ability to manage the pain from a fractured rib will determine whether he plays next Monday night in the Cowboys' home opener against the Redskins, Jerry Jones said Tuesday. "I don't know. I really don't," Jones told KRLD-FM, per ESPNDallas.com., when asked whether Romo would play against the Redskins. "I understand the nature of […] [Read More]
Cowboys secondary could get a much-needed boost this week
IRVING – Terence Newman used social media Monday night to announce he would return to practice this week. "I'm back this week and that's all I'm gonna say," Newman tweeted late Monday night. The Cowboys cornerback has been sidelined since early in training camp when he suffered a groin injury at the Alamodome. Coach Jason Garrett […] [Read More]
One play call Garrett would like to have back
IRVING – Cowboys coach Jason Garrett admitted his decision to call a pitch in the backfield to receiver Miles Austin on the final offensive play of regulation Sunday was a mistake. "To be honest with you, I don't like the call," Garrett said Monday. "I say it every week, there are about 10 calls I […] [Read More]
Tests on Romo reveal evidence of a punctured lung
IRVING –Tony Romo, who overcame a fractured rib to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a dramatic come-from-behind win on Sunday at San Francisco, also showed evidence of a punctured lung, the club revealed in a release Monday night. The Cowboys offered no time frame for recovery, but coach Jason Garrett didn't rule out Romo playing […] [Read More]
Emotional Jones talks about fragile nature of team
IRVING – Sunday's game was an emotional roller coaster ride for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who all but admitted he thought his team was doomed after it fell behind by 10 points to San Francisco in the fourth quarter. "At that juncture, we're too fragile," Jones said in visitors' locker room at Candlestick Park after […] [Read More]
Cowboys defense stiffened in second half Sunday
IRVING – A big reason why the Cowboys were able to rally to defeat the 49ers 27-24 in overtime on Sunday was the club's improved defense in the second half. The 49ers converted 8 of 10 third down attempts in the first half by mainly targeting Dallas' weak link in the secondary: cornerback Alan Ball, […] [Read More]
Reflecting on Romo's gutsy performance
I'm not naïve enough to think that the Tony Romo bashing will stop, but even his harshest critics should admit what he did Sunday at sun-splashed Candlestick Park was impressive. The stage wasn't nearly as big, but I agree with Jerry Jones that Romo's gutsy performance was on par with Emmitt Smith overcoming a separated […] [Read More]
Cowboys fans took over Candlestick
Chants of "Let's go, Cowboys" filled the air at Candlestick Park on Sunday afternoon, making tight end Jason Witten and his teammates feel like they were playing in front of a home crowd. "That was amazing," Witten said after the Cowboys' 27-24 win in overtime. "I don't think I've ever been involved in a game […] [Read More]

Product description
Pakistan stands on the front line of the war against terror. Yet this long-time ally of the West, whose links with the US have caused enormous friction within the country, is in deepening crisis. As President Pervez Musharraf struggles to cling to power through states of emergency, press curbs and imprisonment of his opponents, a range of forces threaten to destroy him and tip the country into a full-blown civil war. Drawing on extensive first-hand research and personal knowledge, Tariq Ali investigates both the causes and the consequences of Pakistan's rapid spiral into political chaos. Shedding new light on controversial questions (did the US greenlight the execution of President Zufikar Ali Bhutto in 1979? Is NATO negotiating to grant the Taliban a role in Afghanistan? Are those now jockeying for power any less corrupt than Musharraf's current cronies?) he examines the various disparate elements and each of the key individuals whose conflicts are tearing Pakistan apart.

Author information
Writer, journalist and film-maker Tariq Ali was born in Lahore and was educated at Oxford University.Today he writes regularly for a range of publications including The Guardian and The London Review of Books. He has written more than a dozen books including non-fiction as well as scripts for both stage and screen. He lives in London.
Editorial reviews
Harshly critical of the American-backed Pakistani military and deeply concerned with the plight of his native country's people, London-based filmmaker and novelist Ali (Dictatorship of Capital: Politics and Culture in the 21st Century, 2008, etc.) warns of an imminent "conflagration of despair."His narrative moves gradually through the sad morass of Pakistan's history: its bloody, ethnic-driven birth in 1947, repeated dictatorships, entrenched corruption and incipient Islamic radicalization. The fight against terrorism has renewed America's interest in the country, he notes; since 9/11 the United States has pressured President Musharraf to the tune of $10 billion to cease harboring tribal insurgents from neighboring Afghanistan. America's fear that Pakistan is flirting with the jihadists may precipitate more unwanted U.S. intervention, he warns. Ali carefully examines Pakistan's long, troubled relationship with America since U.S. support of the first military dictatorship by General Ayub Khan in 1958. Patrician political leader Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, father of Benazir, took power during the turbulent period that led to the violent creation of Bangladesh from East Pakistan in 1972; his five-year leadership saw the birth of Pakistan as a nuclear state in defiance of the United States. Bhutto's "removal," according to Ali, was deemed necessary, and his chief of staff Zia-ul-Haq became president. Because it was instrumental in routing the Soviets after their invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, the author comments bitterly, "General Zia's dictatorship thus became the linchpin of U.S. strategy in the region." Ali considers the tenures of Benazir Bhutto and Musharraf, denouncing both for "clientilism, patronage and corruption on a gigantic scale." The American-engineered political marriage of convenience between the two ended in disaster, and Musharraf's military dictatorship is compounding the country's misery rather than delivering stability. Sage and watchful, Ali considers how the "organic evolution of politics in Pakistan," wrecked by American intervention, might be salvaged.Intense, closely observed commentary on perilous developments in an unstable nation.

Crosby, Stills & Nash prep new covers set
Crosby, Stills & Nash are plotting their first studio album since 1994 — a covers set helmed by Rick Rubin.
"Rick Rubin's a brilliant man," Graham Nash said. "And what he wants is an album with no CSN songs. He wants to do an album of all the songs we love, all the songs we wish we've written. It's brilliant from this point of view because we usually wait five years to record an album. This way, there's no pressure."
Nash said he, David Crosby and Stephen Stills had "many discussions" with Rubin about the project, whittling the proposed list of songs down to 20, which the trio is rehearsing after sound checks during its summer tour. Nash acknowledged that most songs would be considered well-known.
He expects recording to start in early 2009 for release later in the year. The set, which will be CSN's first new release since 1994's "After the Storm," is one of many projects on the trio's plate. "CSNY: Deja Vu," the documentary of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 2006 Freedom of Speech Tour, has been released, and the companion live album is out. Nash, meanwhile, is overseeing a number of archival projects, including his own boxed set, which will be released in time for his 67th birthday in February.
He's curating a Stills box set, and recently discovered an album's worth of material of Stills playing with Jimi Hendrix. Nash is also putting together a live album from CSNY's 1974 stadium tour, a set of Crosby/Nash acoustic recordings, and a benefit record for the Children's Defense Fund that will feature his and Crosby's collaborations over the years with Elton John, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Phil Collins and Jackson Browne and others.
Los Lobos rocks out for kids on new CD
Not only is Los Lobos hitting the road with Los Lonely Boys for the monthlong "Brotherhood Tour," including Friday at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the group is prepping a children's album for November.
"The conceptual framework is, we interpreted classic Disney songs like Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,' When you Wish Upon a Star' and I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song),'" saxophonist-keyboardist Steve Berlin said. "There are no Elton John-era Disney tracks. But it came out really good, and we're all happy with it."
Los Lobos is out of its contract with label Hollywood, but owed the company the Disney-themed record. "It was built into the deal, and we never got around to it while we were signed to them," Berlin said. "So they gave us our release and then also gave us a budget to do this album."
This isn't the first children's album foray for Los Lobos, which not only released the critically acclaimed 1995 album "Music for Papa's Dream," but contributed "I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)" to the 1988 compilation "Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films." In fact, the latter is getting stage time during the Los Lobos set. "There's a bunch of stuff from the new kids record that sounds really good to me and that I'd love to be able to put in there," Berlin said. "The kids record doesn't sound like a kids record. It just sounds like Los Lobos playing funky old songs, so I imagine over time, we'll probably be integrating some of those songs."

They call it "The Jenny."
Board of Education member Jenny Brock likely would shuck any attention, but the Science Hill High School Robotics Team has nicknamed their high-tech creation after the person they say helped give them the opportunity to apply their scientifically creative skills in March at the FIRST Robotics Competition for grades 9-12 in Knoxville.
Brandon Horne, an engineer with the Johnson City Power Board, is serving as a mentor and helping the team with his expertise in electronic systems.
He began to explain the basics.
"A 12-volt battery goes to a power distribution system ... " Something about "logic control — transponder?"
At this point the layman's terms are far and few between, and it becomes immediately evident these students are very much on the ball in this scientific endeavor.
These are the "mind athletes," and this is the varsity.
The Jenny started as a box full of assorted parts. The robot now has four wheels, gears, a frame, a wireless camera to serve as its eyes and a motherboard complete with gizmos and gadgets that only one of the 15 or so team members can specifically identify.
Team members gather each day after school for more than two hours under the supervision of Patty McFadden, a SHHS computer-aided design teacher, and several mentors who are donating their time to act as coaches for the team's marketing, fundraising, building and programming arms.
"It's a big learning process for everyone," said Ben Elliott, co-captain of the building team. "I'm now close friends with everyone. I only knew half the team when we started."
On the programming side, Jake Collier hovered over a laptop designing the program that eventually will be socked into the "brains" of the robot.
"We're using a program called Lab View," he said. "We'll be using a router, and the robot can be controlled manually through a computer. But we'll also be able to just push a button, and the robot will function automatically."
When asked if he'd like to take these skills and incorporate them into a future career, Collier looked straight ahead and without hesitation answered: "I know I want to be an aerospace engineer. I just know I'd really like it."
All the students received on Jan. 7 when they picked up the parts was what the robot's function should be, McFadden said.
"The robot will play 'Rebound Rumble,' " she said. "It's pretty much like playing basketball. We're building a defensive robot that will be controlled both by a laptop and automatically. It's a full court with four goals at each end, and at mid-court are two teetering bridges that have to be crossed."
The Jenny will have teammates of sorts. It is being built to fend off attempts at the goals, but it will work in concert with other robots during the competition in the Smoky Mountain Regional FIRST Robotics Competition at the Knoxville Convention Center.
"Their teammates basically will be drawn from a hat," she said. "As the competition nears the end, teams can scout other teams to form alliances. The robot's performance will be judged based on a points system, and as competition goes on, teams are eliminated."
Though Brock was one of the first to push for a team at Science Hill, Energy Systems Group donated $23,000 to Science Hill, Sullivan North, Tennessee High and Dobyns-Bennett high schools to be used as seed money to form teams for the first time.
J.C. Penney has been a contributor to similar events nationwide, and recently the location at the Mall at Johnson City kicked in $6,500 toward a sponsorship of Science Hill's team, which is nicknamed SciCyber2 Robotics. The T-shirts are on their way.
The experience — from start to finish — is as close to "real world" engineering that a student can get. They learn from professional engineers, build and compete with a robot of their own design, compete and cooperate in alliances and tournaments, earn a place in the World Championship and qualify for more than $14.8 million in college scholarships.
It's big, and student Stephen Pate, who heads the marketing duties, said he hopes he can generate some additional backing. This is a must, since the team has to find a way to pay for extra materials on their own.
"I call on sponsors and set up appointments and try to influence people to contribute," Pate said. "You're helping support Science Hill. And we're branching out so students can use their research, design and building skills. We're going to be needing several vans to go to Knoxville, and we don't know where those will come from. We're hoping more sponsors will come on."
For more information about this team or to make donations or contributions, call Patty McFadden at 444-5425.

WASHINGTON — Imagine a mini-raccoon with a teddy bear face that is so cute it's hard to resist, let alone overlook. But somehow science did — until now.
Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito. The reddish-brown animal is about 14 inches long with an equally long tail and weighs about 2 pounds.
It belongs to a grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears.
The critter leaps through the trees of mountainous forests of Ecuador and Colombia at night, according to a Smithsonian researcher who has spent the past decade tracking them.
But the adorable olinguito shouldn't have been so hard to find. One of them once lived in the Smithsonian-run National Zoo in Washington for a year in a case of mistaken identity.
"It's been kind of hiding in plain sight for a long time" despite its extraordinary beauty, said Kristofer Helgen, the Smithsonian's curator of mammals.
The little zoo critter, named Ringerl, was mistaken for a sister species, the olingo. Before she died in 1976, Ringerl was shipped from zoo to zoo in Louisville, Ky., Tucson, Ariz., Salt Lake City, Washington and New York City to try to get it to breed with other olingos.
She wouldn't.
"It turns out she wasn't fussy," Helgen said. "She wasn't the right species."
The discovery is described in a study in the journal ZooKey.
Helgen first figured olinguitos were different from olingos when he was looking at pelts and skeletons in a museum. He later led a team to South America in 2006.
"When we went to the field we found it in the very first night," said study co-author Roland Kays of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. "It was almost like it was waiting for us."
It's hard to figure how olingos and onlinguitos were confused for each other. "How is it different? In almost every way that you can look at it," Helgen said.
Olinguitos are smaller, have shorter tails, a rounder face, tinier ears and darker bushier fur, he said. "It looks kind of like a fuzzball ... kind of like a cross between a teddy bear and a house cat," Helgen said.
It eats fruit and has one baby at a time. Helgen figures there are thousands of olinguitos in the mountainous forest, traveling through the trees at night which makes them hard to see.
While new species are found regularly, usually they are tiny things like insects and not mammals, the warm-blooded advanced class of animals that have hair, live births and mammary glands in females.
Outside experts said this discovery is not merely renaming something, but a genuine new species — with three new subspecies. It's the type of significant find that hasn't happened in the Americas for about 35 years.

BLOUNTVILLE — A former corrections sergeant at the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office has been indicted on 32 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and five counts of official misconduct.
Randy Hass, 45, of 308 R. C. Barrett Road, Kingsport, was indicted Tuesday by a Sullivan County grand jury. He turned himself in to police early Friday morning and was released upon posting $100,000 bond. The 16-year veteran of the department was fired nearly seven months ago, less than 24 hours after the Sheriff's Office launched an internal investigation into allegations against him.
"To me, this is the most disgusting and sickening employee investigation in my 13 years as Sheriff," said Sheriff Wayne Anderson.

I went to the apple store and had to restore my phone since i was having issues with it and now ive lost all my photos.

When I first got my new iPhone and turned it on, a list from all the recent iCloud backups appeared so I chose the most recent backup.
Today I plugged my phone into my dads computer and it automatically synced. Now, all the content on my phone has been replaced with my dads iTunes content including contacts, messages, and calendar.

Another person is using my old (stolen) iphone, and is now using my iCloud account, making backups from my old phone. I just realized this, because i bought a new iphone and tried to restore my old phone via. this backup.When i used my iCloud backup, his new backup on my old(stolen) phone was ported to my new iPhone. Is it possible to deauthorize him from my iCloud, and restore my old backup before he began changing the backup in the cloud?
My phone was stolen 3 months ago, where i made my last backup.
Hey everyone! Today I decided to update my iPhone 4 because it was still on 4.3 iOS Software. I went and updated it to 5.1 aware that it would erase all of my data (e.g. Applications, etc). After running through the iphone set up, I unlocked my phone aware that some of my data would be gone, but I still had my contacts & photos. I then decided to back up and restore my phone to an earlier state in which I still had all of my applications. After doing so I unlocked my phone only to discover ALL data completely gone, including my 200+ photos, music and contacts. I was completely in shock because the point at which I restored my phone, I still had all of my data. Im now stuck with a fresh iPhone with only 3 of my previous apps, and no contacts or photos or music! I immediately did some research to discover I had to simply erase my settings through General, then restore it with my wifi using iCloud. NOW HERE IS SOMETHING TRICKY - My computer says I last updated iCloud @ 4:04PM, but when I go through the iCloud restore set-up process on my phone, It only shows earlier dates from my iPad, so restoring it does absolutely no good because I dont have anything like contacts or photos on my iPad. So my question is, how can I use iCloud to restore my iPhone 4 back to the state with my contacts & photos when only 3 un-helpful restore points are showing, and why cant I select the last updated iCloud time showing on my computer? Any info would be so helpful Im missing an incredible amount of photos and contacts. Thank you so much in advance
I just bought my second iPhone and I am trying to back up and transfer. I did the backup to iCloud but now I am stuck. Can someone simply guide be through finishing this process? Thank you.
Many people are having the problem of setting up their iCloud accounts to sync their notes.
I am aware that when making a NEW note, it will save/store/sync to my Cloud (if my default Notes account is set iCloud in my settings). Any notes that I created BEFORE I set up iCloud have been saved to my iPhone. Therefore, when I sync my notes to iCloud, these older notes do not sync.
My question is this: How do I move my notes that are saved on my iPhone (pre-iCloud) to my iCloud?
In the Notes app on my iMac, I can simply drag and drop the notes between my On my Mac folder and iCloud folder! Why is it not possible to do this on the iPhone?!
Remember when you had an old Nokia phone, and you could go into your settings and choose whether to transfer your contacts from your phone to your sim card, or vise-versa? Basic, useful stuff. Why can this same concept not be done on the iPhone? (where the sim card is like the iCloud).
Appreciate any help (or knowledge as to why this simple proceedure cannot happen on the iPhone note app).

Thank you very much Jazzsnob. If there is one thing that is important to me it's being a good teacher. Being able to communicate information about drumming. If we dont have that with each other, our art suffers. So I really appreciate your words.

The Nameless Mod
Anyone play this? A local PC mag recently reviewed this as if it was a full PC Game! So it must be something special for them to do that. It's for Deus Ex, made by fans so I'm gonna give it a go. Should be interesting as the story is based on a real life forum conflict. So the terms used in the game will probably be familiar to us forum regulars. ::D:
Re: The Nameless Mod
So far I've installed it, and configured it, one of these days I will actually start playing it.
I did enjoy playing the Zodiac (or was it Casandra Project)? Whichever, it was a lot of fun and was only in development for about 3 years, so this HAS to be awesome ;)
Re: The Nameless Mod
I was surprised to see it has 13 hours of voice acting. Being a mod I don't expect it to be good, but 13 hours isn't bad.

It's not too late to sign up for the Gary Burns Frisco Fun Run.
The annual event, now in its 13th year, will be held Saturday, October 27 at 8 a.m. Registration will continue until the day of the race.
"This is a highly anticipated event," said Allison Miller, director of the Frisco Education Foundation. "It is truly something great for the young and young at heart."
The 5K run/walk and 1 mile walk are expected to draw at least 6,000 people to Frisco Square – the most participants ever. An additional 1,200 volunteers will pitch in to monitor the course, distribute water and assist with set-up and clean-up.
"When we first started in 2000, we had one high school," Miller said. "As the District has grown, this event has grown. It has really become a staple in the community and surrounding communities."
Due to the increasing size of the race, this year three corrals will separate groups of runners prior to the start of the 5K. Participants will be grouped based on estimated completion time to ensure the safety of everyone.
"We're getting so large and we have so many different groups of runners from competitive all the way to elementary students or parents with strollers," Miller said.
As in past years, proceeds from the Fun Run will support programs and events of the Frisco Education Foundation. Last year, the race helped the non-profit fund $200,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors and $66,000 in classroom grants to Frisco ISD staff.
"It is our flagship and the one and only fundraiser that we host," Miller said. "There's not going to be a Chili Cook-off this year, so we're focusing our efforts on this one race to make a difference for the students and staff of Frisco ISD."
Parents, students, employees and everyone who values the positive health benefits of physical activity are urged to take part.
"I think it's important that our youth see that the community shows up to support them," Miller said. "That adults care enough about them to invest in their future by supporting the run and the Frisco Education Foundation."

SHEBOYGAN (WITI) — A Sheboygan County judge sentenced 14-year-old Nathan Paape to life in prison on Tuesday, August 13th. Paape will not be eligible for parole until December 2, 2043 — when Paape turns 45 years old.
Paape was found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, party to a crime for his role in the death of 78-year-old Barbara Olson in September 2012. Paape worked in association with Antonio Barbeau who pleaded no contest to the charges against him in this case. Olson was Barbeau's great-grandmother.
The two boys ransacked Olson's house and stole money. Later, they used some of that money to buy marijuana and pizza.
In court on Tuesday, Paape gave a short apology before he was sentenced.
"I just want to say I'm truly sorry for everything that happened. I truly regret every single thing that happened that day," said Paape.
"I know this is bad, really bad. And no one can bring Barbara Olson back and our family. We haven't had the opportunity to express our sympathy for their family," said Lorrie Koene, Paape's great aunt who spoke exclusively with FOX6 News.
Koene said her nephew has the social development of a ten-year-old and would easily be led by a smarter boy such as Antonio Barbeau; eager to please a friend.
"He actually thought he was going to get to come home after he told the truth," said Koene. "He didn't want this to happen. He didn't plan to go there to kill Barbara Olson. He didn't plan this. I don't know what to say any more. There's just so much sorrow for everybody involved, so much sorrow."
Paape's family hopes to appeal the sentence — and is appealing the boy's crime being tried in adult court.
"Maybe the laws will change when it comes to sentencing kids. I hope it does. I hope it does," said Koene."
Barbeau was sentenced on Monday, August 12th. He was also sentenced to life in prison. Barbeau will not be eligible for parole until he turns 50 years old.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit and I have an ATI X1650 Pro 512mb but there are no drivers for my video card in the restricted drivers. How can I install drivers?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free.
Unfortunately, the ATI x1650 is no longer supported by AMD/ATI's binary drivers; neither the "restricted" ones nor what you can download off their website.
The last binary driver package supporting this card is Catalyst 9.3; you can try downloading and installing it. If it doesn't work (due to kernel changes), sorry, but you're stuck with the default open-source
This isn't because of Linux/Ubuntu, but due to AMD/ATI policy; for example, there are no Windows 7 drivers available for the X1650 either!

|Australian Journal of Educational Technology
2000, 16(2), 147-160.
This paper presents the results of developmental research into the design of an online unit on Interactive Multimedia project management. The decision to offer the unit online was based on a requirement for the unit to be available in external mode, and an awareness that the traditional print-based delivery of material was not the most appropriate format considering the characteristics of a project-based unit.
The unit was designed around online collaborative activities, supported by content, in close alignment with Laurillard's (1993) model of the ideal teaching-learning process. An extension of this model was developed to explicitly allow for discussion between students.
Following a requirements analysis, WebCT was chosen as the course management tool by which the unit was made available to the students. The online activities used in the design of the course included: publishing personal web pages, online questionnaires, online seminars, the submission of relevant resources found by students, and general forum participation.
Finally, a framework for evaluating the merit of the online environment has been developed and will be briefly discussed.
In traditional format, prior to being offered online, the unit consisted of thirteen, three-hour class sessions. In the first nine sessions, students attend a lecture, which is followed by a group-based activity. Team skills and collaboration are continually promoted and reinforced throughout the unit. Teams of approximately four students are formed, necessitating the development of project management skills, communication skills and quality assurance systems.
There are three assignments: 'Analysis and Plan' worth 30 marks, 'Design' worth 35 marks and 'Final Product' worth 35 marks. Each of the assignments contains four marking components, in order of importance:
The university had a strong and structured background in the development of print-based external studies programmes. External units require a Plan (administrative details), a Guide (course content modules) and a Reader (required readings) developed according to traditional Instructional Design principles (Herrington, 1996). However, we foresaw difficulties in trying to replicate the project-based and group-work aspects of this course by the essentially solitary, traditional, print-based distance education approach. Our review of the literature, on the other hand, indicated that it was possible to duplicate, to a large extent, the on-campus experience in online mode using collaboration and communication tools available on the Internet.
Since IMM is inherently multi-disciplinary and team-based (Phillips, 1997, p43) and because technology is changing so rapidly, the characteristics most valued by business and industry are especially important in interactive multimedia work environments. One of the features of the University's on-campus delivery of multimedia courses is the development of these graduate characteristics, and, consequently, many units are presented in a student-centred fashion which encourages group discussion, project work and independent learning of new software packages.
There is substantial literature about the use of the Internet as a collaborative tool rather than a medium for transmission of content (Collis, 1996; Harasim, 1993; Harasim, Hiltz, Teles, & Turoff, 1995; Jonassen, Davidson, Collins, Campbell, & Haag, 1995). Harasim et al. (1995) have examined how computer mediated communications can create the richness of an on-campus experience for off-campus students, using well-established and inexpensive technology. They identified a range of collaborative activities generated for the student by the teacher, such as online seminars, small group discussions, group presentations, debates and role plays.
Teles (1994) has elaborated on the cognitive apprenticeship model (Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989) by identifying 'teleapprenticeship' activities such as mentoring and peer collaboration. Collis has discussed the establishment of integrated and collaborative online learning environments to foster the development of student teamwork and communication skills (Collis, 1997; van der Veen & Collis, 1997).
An essential component of successful online educational activity is building a sense of community (Dillenbourg, 1995), for example, through a 'virtual cafe' (Harasim et al., 1995). Harasim (1993) has found that it is important to specifically design an online learning environment which encourages participation by students. A particular difficulty is that students are reluctant to contribute unless they have 'met' each other. One solution is for students to have some initial face-to-face contact (Harasim et al., 1995). Alternatively, students can initially meet by video conference (Pouw, van der Veen, & Andernach, 1997; van der Veen, 1997) or simply by publishing home pages about themselves.
The literature review gave us confidence that an online version of the project management unit could be designed in a way which blurred the distinction between internal and external enrolment modes, offered more flexibility to our students, and yet enabled us to continue a high quality, student-centred learning experience.
Laurillard argues that teachers should continually reflect on the success of their teaching and adapt their learning activities accordingly, as shown (left side of Fig. 1). The process of re-engineering the project management unit for online delivery is an adaptation based on our reflection about the strengths and weaknesses of the original unit structure.
Figure 1: Laurillard's model of the ideal teaching-learning process (Laurillard, 1993)
A weakness in Laurillard's model is that it ignores the role of discussion between students in the learning process. Social constructivist learning theory (Vygotsky, 1978), on the other hand, argues that learning involves social discourse between peers. We present here an enhancement of Laurillard's model (Fig. 2), which explicitly allows for communication and discussion between students. We used the expanded Laurillard model as a blueprint for designing the online unit as follows:
Figure 2: Adaptation of Laurillard's model of the ideal teaching-learning
process which allows for communication between students.
An evaluation of this unit is currently underway, in order to determine:
The online version of the unit was designed with a focus on collaborative activities, supported by the content-based resources of a Guide (online and print) and Reader (print only, for copyright reasons). A decision was made to limit the amount of online text as much as possible. The online text was generally quite brief and simply summarised the topic and directed students to other resources.
The online activities are described in detail in the following section. However, as part of the design of the activities, a requirements analysis was carried out to determine whether the activities were feasible, and what technological tools were available. The WebCT course management system (WebCT Educational Technologies, 1999) was able to provide the required functionality. The online activities and associated WebCT tools and functions are summarised in Table 1 [Endnote 1].
WebCT also enabled monitoring of student progress and discussion forum use. This was particularly helpful in identifying students who had not accessed course materials and were at risk of withdrawing.

The major weekly activity was an online seminar in which one task group created and published a short summary paper on an aspect of project management, outlining the topic and raising issues for discussion. Students then moderated the discussion and published a synopsis paper at the end of the week. Eight marks were allocated for this. Nineteen marks were allocated for individual contributions to discussions, which included responding to online seminars, other scheduled activities, or assisting other students with technical knowledge or other advice.

This week your lecturer(s) will demonstrate the type of discussion required of each of you in subsequent weeks, by posting a discussion paper on Project Management Models and Life Cycles to the week 2 forum. Please read the lecturer's contribution and ask questions and make comments about it. Bear the following question in mind when you are constructing your responses: Why do you need Project Management Models? At the end of the week the lecturer will post a synopsis of the week's discussion.Notice that students were required to contribute to the discussion and that a synopsis was given at the end of the week. In following weeks, a student task group prepared and presented the online seminar in a similar fashion, and answered questions posted by other individual students and lecturers. At the end of the week a synopsis of the week's comments was posted, as described by activity 3.4 below:
Task Group 1 is to write a short summary paper on group decision-making techniques, to be posted on Monday to the week 3 forum. All other students are expected to contribute their experiences and observations on this topic. Task Group 5 moderates the discussion and posts a final synopsis on Friday morning.Each student task team was required to present one online seminar with moderation and a synopsis at the end of the week. It is important to note that the student task groups presenting the lecture were different to the project teams developing the multimedia product. This illustrates the continual reinforcement of collaboration and teamwork that is promoted in the unit.
Others were solicited by the tutors on an ad-hoc basis as issues arose from other discussions. Others came from students answering questions from other students about particular technical issues.
One such activity survived from our ongoing reflection and adaptation of our course design, as activity 2.2:
Search the literature and the Web for case studies on Project Management. A good starting point is this week's readings and URLs. Write a two paragraph summary of the case study, and submit the summary and the URL/reference to the Class Resource List. You should try to focus on IMM projects, but generally applicable information from any type of project management is acceptable.
A framework for evaluation of the online unit has been developed. It will evaluate the merit of the online environment, ie. the process by which IMM3202/4201 is made available to students and what might be done to improve it. The study will also evaluate the outcomes achieved by students studying the unit. Data has been gathered from a range of sources and is currently being analysed. The results of the analysis, to be published in a subsequent paper, will be used to determine improvements to the way the unit is being taught.

How to make homemade bath salt
Looking for some super easy one of a kind gifts to make this year? These bath salts are great for guys and gals and they take minutes to
put together. They make fabulous party favors too. I am not a bath person, so I use these salts when I take a shower. Just sprinkle some on the floor of the shower and you will be able to inhale the goodness. The ones I made were "stress relief" made with eucalyptus essential oil. I love that scent.
You will need -
• Epsom Salt
• Essential Oil (found in craft supply near soap making items)
• Container to measure
• Containers to gift the salts in
• Label
• Funnel is helpful
Most essential oils will tell you to use about 1 oz. per oz. of salt. Just check the back of the package to be sure.
Drop the oil in the salt and stir up well.
Using a funnel, pour salt into container. Place a label on and your done! Perfect party favor!!
Store the homemade bath salt in a wall organizer in the bathroom for easy access.
