Update: The Rittman Mead BI Forum 2013 is now over, but you can download the presentations slides from both events, and take a look at photos we took over the two weeks, on our blog: "Photos and Presentation Downloads from the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2013, Brighton & Atlanta". Thanks to everyone who came along to either Brighton or Atlanta!
Returning for its fifth successful year, the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2013 is the premier Oracle Business Intelligence, Analytics, Data Warehousing and Big Data conference aimed at intermediate-to-advanced level developers and end-users. Running in Brighton, UK and Atlanta, GA in May 2013 and with strictly-limited attendance numbers, this is the idea opportunity to learn, network and socialise with your colleagues and partners in the Oracle Business Analytics industry.
The BI Forum is a different type of Oracle conference in that we have a single stream, small numbers and an audience that already knows the basics and is looking for advanced-level information. Run by the community but with strong Oracle Product Development participation, this is a great opportunity to meet your peers in the industry, discuss product direction with Oracle, learn something new and – of course – have some fun. This year we're also joined by special guests Cary Millsap (Method R Corporation), Alex Gorbachev (Pythian) and Toby Potter (Datasift), as well as various Oracle product managers who'll be providing keynotes and running in-depth technical sessions.
Each year we also run a masterclass on the day before the main conference starts, and this year our own Stewart Bryson, Mark Rittman and Michael Rainey are tackling Oracle Data Integration, covering such topics as Oracle Data Integrator 11g, Oracle GoldenGate, Big Data Integration and how it all supports Oracle BI, data warehousing and analytic applications.
As in previous years, the BI Forum will run on two consecutive weeks, starting in Brighton and then moving over to Atlanta for the following week. Here's the dates and venue locations:
- Rittman Mead BI Forum 2013 – Hotel Seattle, Brighton, May 8th – 10th 2013
- Rittman Mead BI Forum 2013 – Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center, May 15th – 17th 2013
The main conference runs on the Thursday and Friday of each week, with a gala meal and Oracle keynote on the Wednesday evening before the event opens, the optional one-day masterclass by Stewart, Mark and Michael earlier on the day on Wednesday, and then another meal outside of the hotels on the Thursday evening. Delegates at each event get all of the slides and materials from both events, and we publish all of the slides for anyone to download once the events all close.
Who will be Presenting?
Each event has its own agenda, but both will focus on the technology and implementation aspects of Oracle BI, DW, Big Data and Analytics. Most of the sessions run for an hour, but on the first day we'll also feature a number of shorter, 10-minute TED-style sessions, whilst on the second, we'll be holding a debate. Here's the current line-up for the two venues:

As always, all topics will be at intermediate-to-advanced level, and with an audience limited to 70 (UK) and 60 (US), there will be lots of opportunities for discussion, audience participation and talking with the presenters.
Special Guest Speakers
We're also very pleased to be joined by some excellent guest speakers at the two events. For the Atlanta event, Cary Milsap (who'll you'll no doubt know through his Method-R company, and his book "Optimizing Oracle Performance") will join us to talk about performance optimization in the context of BI&DW, whilst Alex Gorbachev from Pythian will share his thoughts on big data and how it will impact the world of Oracle BI, DW and analytics.
Over in Brighton, we're delighted to joined by Toby Potter from Datasift, fresh from the O'Reilly Strata Conference and with a presentation about how social media and unstructured data can add value for Oracle Endeca, OBIEE and other Oracle BI projects.
Optional 1-Day Oracle Data Integration Masterclass with Stewart Bryson, Mark Rittman and Michael Rainey, Rittman Mead
This year we're delighted to have our own Stewart Bryson, Mark Rittman and Michael Rainey deliver the BI Forum Masterclass, on the topic of Oracle Data Integration. In this masterclass, Stewart Mark and Michael will describe the updated Oracle Reference Architecture for BI and analytics, and show how tools such as Oracle Data Integrator 11g, Oracle GoldenGate 11g, Oracle's Big Data Adapters and products such as Oracle NoSQL Database, Hadoop & MapReduce and of course the Oracle Database can be used to create the underlying analytics data platform for OBIEE projects. Aimed at OBIEE developers who want to have a deeper understanding of the underlying data architecture for Oracle BI deployments, and experienced ODI, OWB and Informatica developers who want to pick up some techniques, and tips and tricks from three very experienced Oracle DI developers, this masterclass will cover the following topics over the course of the day:
- Introduction to Oracle's Data Integration toolset
- Oracle's Reference Architecture for Information Management and Big Data
- Overview of the latest release of Oracle Data Integrator
- Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator – Better Together
- Oracle Data Integrator and Big Data – Leveraging Hadoop, NoSQL and HDFS
- The Three 'R's of ODI and DW Fault Tolerance – And Agent High-Availability
- Using DevOps and Continuous Integration to Automate your ODI Build and Testing
Focusing on demos and development techniques rather than slides and marketing content, this session will aim to share some experiences and innovations from the field, and outline how data integration can make use of new developments such as Hadoop/MapReduce, and new products such as GoldenGate, to deliver a real-time, big-data capable data infrastructure for enterprise BI projects
Opportunities to Network
It won't all be presentations and technical talk though. The UK event is set in the Hotel Seattle, Brighton Marina, with lots of bars, restaurants, casinos and cinemas on your doorstep. Just down the road is the seaside city of Brighton, with its famous pebble beach and Brighton Pier. The US event is in midtown Atlanta, right in the center of the university district, features many bars and restaurants and has a MARTA stop just nearby, if you'd like to venture further afield into downtown Atlanta
On the evening before both events (Wednesday night, from 6pm) we'll be hosting a drinks reception and meal, with an opening keynote by the Oracle Product Development team. We'll also host a group meal on the Thursday night, where we'll take out out from the main conference venue and go to a local restaurant in either Brighton or Atlanta.
Who Should Attend?
The BI Forum is aimed at experienced developers using Oracle's next-generation BI tools, specifically OBIEE, ODI EE, Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware. Sessions will be at intermediate and advanced level, and will have a strong technical focus. If you're the expert in your company at OBIEE or any of these technologies, and you're interested in hearing how other experts are getting the most from these tools, this will be the event for you.
What Does It Cost?
- A 2-day Full Conference Pass at costs £800 + VAT (UK) or $1200 (US), which is waived or discounted for speakers.
- Optional two nights (Tuesday, Wednesday) accommodation at the event venue costs £180 + VAT (UK) or $350 (US), and you can also stay overnight before the masterclass for £100 + VAT (UK) or $175 (US)

The disadvantage and advantage of impact ...
Compared with other type of crushers , the impact crusher has some advantge as follow:
(1) The crushing efficiency is high, the power conversation is low, gernally as 0.5-1.3kw.h/t. because the material anti-pression is ten times more than their anti-impact strength, so the impact crusher that its 1/3 energy saved than jaw crusher, 1/2-4/5 energy saved than roller cruser.
(2) Crushing ratio is higher, generally as about 20, the higher reaches 50-60, even more, so, it can reduce crusehing numbers of segments, simplify production process, save investment , and reduce production cost.
(3) The device structure is simple, easy manufacture, and convenient operating and maintain.
(4) Impact crusher has a characteristic of slective crushing, means the big density material size is samll after be crushed, the small density size is big after be crushed. To the benefit of the sorting of mineral.
(5) The impact crusher is light, it has not apparent imbalance vibrate as it working, not need heavy device infoundation.

Probing The Matrix: Is our universe simulated, and if so… by who?
- By John Hewitt on December 19, 2012 at 11:00 am
- Comment
Share This article
You are The One
Another way to examine the simulation is through the calculus of extremes. An appeal to the extreme viewpoint of the solipsist — the belief that the only sure thing in the universe is your own mind — would address the problem of minimization of suffering because it can simply be denied. The only discomfort in existence would be one's own. Why then might a simulator even bother with simulating the environment if the most interesting thing to simulate is a mind?
If in fact many solipsistic minds are simulated, each in their own isolated world, the computational complexity of the task would grow enormously, making it desirable to at some point to overlap the environments. We might then ask, where in this kind of arrangement do we fall?
One question a simulation might attempt to answer is what is the optimal number of minds to apply to the major problems of the universe. I.e. how to maximally extend and allocate its finite resources. In other words, do you want a just a few large, hyper-intelligent minds attacking the problem, or rather lots of smaller minds?
To have faith that every water molecule in the ocean is being perfectly simulated at this very moment, in the absence of observation, may be a testament to just how easy it is for our universe to simulate reality. The number of permissible states for an ocean's atoms would seem near infinite compared to the those for the three-pound mass in our heads, but which is really easier to simulate? The movements of the ocean can easily be captured with principles and even laws which could vastly simplify the task. Perhaps one day we will find a way to test this kind of hypothesis.
The idea of setting up some kind of "glitch" detector to look for inconsistencies in the simulation has been raised, but it may be difficult to characterize exactly what a glitch would be. People have experiences all the time in the normal operation of their own brains which could just as well be interpreted as as glitch, but typically we do not define them as such. Whereas a seemingly vivid apparition of a long since loved one in the hallway at night may be experienced fully from the incidental stimulus of a few errant sounds, another person would no doubt interpret the situation in an entirely different way.
The question of the degree to which simulations and minds may overlap is a question for another day. We are just beginning to write the experiments that create the conclusions we might draw, in the manner of the particle physicist. Solipsistic inspection is certainly useful as a tool for thought experiments, but as a social strategy it can only be a failure and is largely discounted as such. The viewpoint does offer one subtle abode — there is evidence that other people age and in fact die, but for you, there is only evidence that you get older.

If you're already logged in as root and you find your system has been infected by retarded primitive gibberish coded by a bunch of dimwits who couldn't science, then it's simple fix…

"In the beginning there was the the word, and the word was Debian, and its messenger was aptitude. And the users installed Debian, and they saw that it was good. And Debian begat Knoppix, who begat Symphony.
And Shuttleworth said 'Let there be desktop', and lo there was a usable native GUI. And Debian begat ubuntu.
And there arose a beast upon the earth, and on his head was a Red Hat, and several distros knelt before him and uttered abominations in his name".
So sayeth the Book of man. (It's in there – but those Wall Street Fat Cats want the truth hidden from the people, man).
Unfortunately ubuntu has 'Windows 8′-ed itself with Unity (which tastes like ass, looks like ass, and works like ass… in a bad way): every new version means an hour wasted reinstalling and recofiguring gnome.
Beautiful… My reply?
And one root said "let there be god"
And the other root said "let there be satan"
And billg said WTF? Is this a backlash against the backslash?
Of course, if our virtual universe is being actively monitored it's entirely possible that every time someone detects a glitch the monitors roll us back to the last saved game…

I get tired of people saying, "If there is a God, why does he allow awful things to happen." Well, Virginia, in order to determine what causes awful things to happen, God has to visualize simulations of the universe in his mind. And being the perfect being that he is, those simulations are perfect.
So, Virginia, the fact that awful things happen is proof that we are in a simulation. Once God works the bugs out, he will create a real, non-simulated universe where awful things don't happen. The universe be a utopia, where beauty will reign, death will be banished, all sentient beings will live in harmony with nature, and happiness will pervade.
Meanwhile, Virginia, be comforted by the fact that awful things aren't really happening since the universe we see only exists in the mind of God as a simulation.
Jeffrey Canfield
I could never live in a perfect place, it would bore me to want to be wiped from that existence. I would have nothing to solve, nothing to do, nothing to fix and have no reason for thought what-so-ever. Perfection would be my hell.

In a perfect place you wouldn't be bored by its perfection, furthermore you would be perfect too.
In a perfect place reside only perfect beings who are perfectly adjusted to that place… ^^

Yes, in much the same way as everyone would all supposedly (and magically) undergo a Marxian "radical transformation of consciousness" if only we would let ourselves be subjected to an all-powerful State led by the vanguard of the proletariat. We would 'overcome scarcity' (and stratrification) because we would 'self-limit' our desires.
Perfect this, perfect that (after you die, if you behave): that's the sort of retarded tripe that is promulgated by parasites so that they can live in palaces, funded by gullible dummies who are too ignorant to examine the gibberish they're being fed. The moment people started doing so, religious hegemony evaporated within 2 generations… and was replaced with the similarly-fraudulent State. Now THAT is being properly examined – as it reaches its predictable end-point (corrupt plutocracy).
Like all nonsense, the moment you scratch the surface it turns out to be a scabby pus-filled boil of horror.
mori bund
Religion was always the tool for the rulers to keep the people down.
It was always a nice deal between the pope and the king:
the pope told the people that the king is "chosen by god" so the people had to obey him, and the king shared his wealth and power with the church. This worked for far more than 1000 years.
http://www.facebook.com/leslie.munday Leslie Munday
Define 'Perfection'. My definition probably doesn't match yours.
mori bund
Hmm, haven't thought about that.
"Perfection" is an absolutely flawless ideal where everything works… well: perfect.
It's actually just a theoretical concept, because real "perfection" isn't possible, it's too "absolute", if you know what I mean.
mori bund
A perfect being doesn't need a simulation.

A perfect being envisions perfectly.
http://www.marketmentat.com/ Kratoklastes
If the imaginary Sky Fairy was a perfect being (omnipotent, omniscient and inherently good) he would not need to run simulations – he would know ex ante which was the optimal universe given his objectives.
The ONLY 'get out' that you have on this front, is that this is the optimal universe given an unconstrained optimisation – an omnipotent being can't have constraints (the old "Can the imaginary Sky Fairy make something he can't lift?" trope).
Given that the imaginary Sky Fairy is supposedly omniscient, he must know – before setting any timeline in motion – every decision that will occur at any point on that timeline (because conditionality)… and yet he set in train a universe that included Hitler and Dick Cheney.
The moment you depart from omniscience, the case for the imaginary Sky Fairy falls apart, because the "Rumsfeld set" (the set of 'unknown unknowns') becomes potentially infinite – the size of the Rmsfeld set is itself an unknown.
As a result, the imaginary Sky Fairy cannot say anything definitive about any phenomenon in the universe, because he cannot possible know if his Rumsfeld set includes data that would contradict his conclusions.
Religion only exists for people who can't (or won't) think through the logical ramifications of the gibberish they spout.
Polite or not, I appreciate the comments of anyone who can think clearly or originally. Actually I think we have come to a similar conclusion on the water molecules – perhaps you interpreted these sentences differently ? …. "The number of permissible states for an ocean's atoms would seem near infinite compared to the those for the three-pound mass in our heads, but which is really easier to simulate? The movements of the ocean can easily be captured with principles and even laws which could vastly simplify the task. Perhaps one day we will find a way to test this kind of hypothesis."

A nonsense research based on really nothing.
If this reality it's a simulation no one would be allowed to test and detect a damn thing.
Everyone part of the simulation would be unable to escape from it and check for it.
Everything being checked for would be part of the simulation anyway and any test would simply fail.
Only someone or something from outside the simulation could allow anyone inside it to recognize the truth. But would anyone ever want to do that if that was the case?
Their fake science experiments are beyond silly and don't prove a damn thing.
It's all based on someone fantasy and nothing more than that. This is not science, completely lacking basic logic
Bug menot
I believe the term you're looking for is sophistry?
If you look at the immensity of universe, it seems a bit presumptuous to me to assume that we (or intelligence) must be the reason for the creation of the simulation.
We may just be an accident or bi-product, an unintended consequence.

We are not living in a simulated world, the data generated by CERN proves this. But whatever, its fun to imagine things :)
I don't know if we are living in an emulator, but I have seen a real glitch once. And it wasn't a vision of a loved one either, I saw a helium balloon disappear like a magic trick. Except I was all alone in my well lit room with all doors and windows closed, I attached a weight to make it float without touching the ceiling, next thing I know it's gone. I looked for it but never found a trace.

Easy way to get around "phreaking the universe", if someone does something wrong, just pause the sim, to the inhabitants of the sim it wouldn't seem like time passes, implement the fix or missing feature and just resume.

Over the last 200 years or so, philosophy has increasingly detached itself from hard science as scientific discoveries and the body of scientific evidence began to grow exponentially. Natural science has branched off into a growing number of ever more specialised new sciences and scientific disciplines, something that philosophers could not keep up with. Uprooted from its natural base, meaningful philosophy has gone into gradual decline, only to culminate in the post-modernist balderdash, probably the worst and least commonsensical kind of philosophy there is. So, even as we've seen the rise of science and scientific knowledge, we've at the same time witnessed the steady decline of philosophy. Relatively recently, however, ideas and theories like quantum theory, string theory, multiverse, computer-simulated universe, etc. are giving a new life to philosophy, helping it to regain its breath. It's nice to see that philosophy and the cutting-edge (theoretical) science can indeed go hand in hand and help each other.

This is a really cool article. Reality is an algorithm ;-)
The 'exit' is hidden as an anomaly in the laws of (quantum)physics.
One way to go about is to try and create one … (13th Floor).
More disturbing is the question : "What is used to run it?" or "Are simulations recursive?"
Hell, where does this universe exist in in the first place, regardless of any simulation theories … ?
http://www.tbdamericainc.com/ Barry Stevens
No doubt most have already heard about Martin Savage's, a physicist at the University of Washington, paper exploring the possibility that all we know and see is just a sophisticated computer simulation.
As scientists, we develop a nomenclature for that which we envision and for that which we can measure and prove; quarks being one As humans, we give names for that which we cannot envision and for that which today's technology cannot measure and prove; G-d being one. Sometimes the line of demarcation between the two get blurred and becomes one of the same; Higgs boson the G-d particle being one.
So what is the relevancy of all this gibberish to the thesis of a simulated a universe? For starters is the semantics behind what is known, to that what is hoped to be. Human existence and science for that matter exist to explain – where we came from, why we are here and where are we going. Lacking proof, other than what is ascertained from the basic senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste; mankind extends his/her knowledge through the invention of tools.
A Huxleyan world predicts people come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. Has not the computer become our oppressor? In this respect, a logical extension of this behavior is to postulate all that we seem to know and see is nothing more than the bits and bytes birthed from a manufactured structure of metals, plastics and gases driving electrons or light in a rather specific way. The unpredictability of which can be called intelligence!
The irony of this view is narrow and dismisses of what is known. Nothing seems simpler than a system built up by only two – ones and zeros. But ones and zeros only exist for which we make them, whether counting a stream of "Ons" and "Offs" from some tangible material that in the end turns on or off a light on the screen or commands a device to strike a character on something that can be filed away – Guttenberg had it right!
So a binary system exists only by the machine. The machine with its bits and bytes defines only which that can be seen. It falls flat on its face with the remaining 96% of the stuff that the cosmos is made of – dark matter and energy.
However unfortunate for simplicity is pure, a somewhat more complex but comprehensive theory system ultimately explains all. Its proof stands up to scrutiny and needs no machines to be read or seen; that is if the standard model is real. Ones and zero do not build these up. The reverse is true; these make up the ones and zeros seen on screen and paper. No surprise, this structure is framed by 12 fundamental and force carrier particles; quarks, leptons, and photons, etc.
In closing, though most likely misnamed, Higgs boson is what is called the particle of G-d? Hard to think of ones and zeros the pedestal of G-d.

humans are already slaves of machines. They just re=produce them and test=vitalize them. We are 'enzymen', catalyzers of the next phase of organic, life evolution – metalife. The computer is only the brain of machines and enzymen slaves like this writer now call it God as the Jew banksters did with gold before and the germ(an)s with iron swords – metal is a superior atomic species and fucktards like this writer can't think better than consider his machine god. So do the fucktards at cern and other furcktard physicists like einstein who said 'time is what a clock measures' cause he just had a clock to measure, LOL

Jesus it irks me when journalists try to say stuff about the 'simuverse' hypothesis.
The idea that "every water molecule in the ocean" has to be fully rendered is so retarded that I almost stopped reading at that point.
The only region that needs to be fully rendered is the direct sensory focus of the agent who is experiencing a given event directly: the rest of the entire universe can be rendered at much lower resolution (with some interpolation at edges) – that's even the way our EYES work (our brain interpolates medium-res images of our periphery).
Does the dilettante gimboid who wrote this article also think that every frame of every level of [insert popular video game here] is fully rendered at all times? If not, why would he believe that every unobserved atom in the simuverse would be rendered?
Even in a universe where you're toying with the "few yotta-minds vs many yocto-minds" hypothesis, the only things that need to be fully rendered are those things that are direct sensory inputs into the minds themselves.
Journalists as a class are the the lightest of lightweight dilettanti: the
reason they're journalists is because they're not experts in ANYTHING, which in turn is why they gravitate towards the entertainment industry (that's what the media is, guys).
[EDIT: replaced 'visual' for 'sensory' in para 3]
Polite or not, I appreciate the comments of anyone who can think clearly or originally. Actually I think we have come to a similar conclusion on the water molecules – perhaps you somehow interpreted these sentences differently …. "The number of permissible states for an ocean's atoms would seem near infinite compared to the those for the three-pound mass in our heads, but which is really easier to simulate? The movements of the ocean can easily be captured with principles and even laws which could vastly simplify the task. Perhaps one day we will find a way to test this kind of hypothesis."

This is what quantum physics tells us. I always wondered why the universe would be set up to exist as a probability wave of potential to be collapsed only when observed. Now it makes sense. It's because the Coder knew it was much more efficient to only render the universe where it is being observed.
But then how do you simulate the bacteria in the water droplets, the viruses attacking the bacteria, the defense mechanisms the bacteria use against the viruses, plankton on which the bacteria live, the fish that eat the plankton, the fish that eat those fish… etc etc etc. And all the while everything evolving over time at the level of DNA. Perhaps there are some sort of algorithms or averages that can be used to approximate these when no observers are around, but it's also plausible that everything really does need to be fully rendered at all times.
http://www.marketmentat.com/ Kratoklastes
The beauty of all that complexity, is that from the perspective of literally everyone in the universe who's not looking at it, it's irrelevant.
Think of all the atoms in the universe that you're not looking at right now: that's a much much much bigger number than the sum of all the atoms in the universe that are being directly observed… by every being in the universe.
In fact, you could scale that down from "the universe" to "your neighbourhood" or even "your house". In fact it can be scaled down to your screen and the result still holds: pixel by pixel, the number of pixels that you're not viewing, dwarfs the number of pixels that you're viewing.
Also: bear in mind that the vast bulk of agents in any simulation will be internal to the simulation: they will be "Agent Smith", not "Neo". In fact they won't even be "Agent Smith" – they will just be props (that includes me, in your simulation… and you, in mine: weird, I know).
So no need to render the water in the Pacific Ocean, until you (the object of the simulation) are looking at it.)
So it's not remotely plausible that every element of the universe would be simulated at all times: it would be a monumental waste of resources.
Render the central square-inch of the field of view of each
viewer to high precision, and everything else in 480p (at best), and you will be doing more than enough to fool the human visual system (which it has to be said, is in about the top 12% of animal visual systems).
Poses the question "Where does reality begin and end" ?
http://www.facebook.com/derek.robinson.94043 Derek Robinson
Were it my simulation and assuming that if/when some of the artificial intelligences within concluded it was a simulation then the point of the simulation was compromised, To prevent this I would give them limited lifetimes and also periodically run a daemon to scan for those with any such forbidden knowledge and drag them out of there for special treatment.
Donald Derry
Yes, this interesting to think about and likely where science and philosophy will intersect in the future. Nice article and brings up some good points as well as questions to ask. There is also a thought provoking and well considered new book examining this subject as well (On Computer Simulated Universes).
H. Simpson
I thought the book had some entertaining concepts. If there are really simulated universes, then I think the Matryoshkaverse idea does make sense, that any one universe would be locked inside but also encompass multiple other universes (like a Russian wooden doll set, with one or more dolls each nested inside another).
Agreed (for the most part). But likely a better point Solomon makes in that book is that (computer simulated) universes, over many simulations, would be naturally selected for certain physics traits most favorable for life. The universes that would be able to successfully host the highest number of advanced civilizations would also see many of these advanced civilizations eventually run their own simulated universes. Shows how the laws of physics could actually evolve, in a way similar to species evolution.

The best duck salad in the world. The calamari salad was amazing too. but the duck salad ..... my mom from israel is waiting to came just to eat this salad (what about me? :) )
Posted by bob on 11/27/2006
The cold duck salad was great, but everything else was so so. The room is loud, cold and uninviting. The first table where they seated us, was rediculous. The second not much better, both were next to service stations. Too expensive for what you got. And loose the attitude!

This place used to be a haunt. Then their success went to their head. Now it's embarrassingly bad. The food is still alright (no longer great, just passable) but the employees are a disgrace, service stinks and the prices are way too high . From the miserable folk who man the front desk, to the waiters who snarl, if this place was in Paris, you'd walk out. The fact that it's in NYC makes you wonder what the boss is thinking. Shame on him! With so many good restaurants within walking distance, the only hope is these folk go broke sooner rather than later, and someone else takes over. Oh for the good old days when they cared!
Posted by Anonymous on 11/06/2006
I went with a group of girls to this restaurant and it was awesome! Our last two entrées arrived 5 mins late, we were having such a good time we didn't even notice. The manager came right over and apologized for them being late and gave us the last 2 entrées on the house. wow! I didn't know good customer service still existed.
Posted by Colleen on 10/11/2006
Went on a Saturday night. The only thing worth getting here are the lobster rolls. Everything else is sub-par, including the decor and can we talk about the music for a second? Really loud and just offensive. I don't need to reminisce about Seal's Kissed by a Rose or Shaggy's Wasn't Me while I'm trying to eat. Totally takes away from the ambience. The service was good but the final bill will hurt you a little.

Walked in with a friend on a thursday night around 7:30 had a couple of drinks, and shared a couple of plates. The dumplings were fantastic, and the other two dishes were very good. Did not disappoint.

Firefighters, teachers, prison officers and other public sector workers are bringing a legal challenge against the Government over changes made to pensions that came into effect in April.
Six public sector unions have claimed that the recent change that involves using the consumer price index (CPI) instead of the traditionally higher retail price index (RPI) to calculate increases in pensions is unlawful.
The trade unions, which include the Fire Brigades Union, the National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT), the Prison Officers Association, the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), Unison and Unite, claim that the changes will result in losses of 15 per cent to existing public-sector pensions.
Although the pension reform was first announced in Chancellor George Osborne's Budget in 2010, the unions claim that they were not consulted and that it was not legally valid under social security legislation.
Matt Wrack from the FBU said: "The Government actions are unfair and, we believe, unlawful. This is a vicious attack on existing and future pensioners that could cost them tens of thousands of pounds."
If the High Court case is successful, it could pave the way for private-sector workers who will also be affected by the change to bring claims against their pension providers.
Accountants have estimated that the change will mean that savers from both the public and private sectors will lose around £250 million over the next 40 years.
Len McCluskey of Unite said: "Our legal challenge against the coalition Government is hugely significant for workers in both the public and private sectors. Public sector workers face an opportunistic attack on their pensions by this Government, but many workers in the private sector have also been affected.
"We know that some private sector employers are already attempting to move to the lower inflation index, citing the Government's example. In reality this Government wants us all to work for longer and for less."

What it cost
Oct. 31, 2013 @ 05:11 PM
Between mediation and the trial, the dispute over the Fiscal Year 2014 budget has lasted about three months, with an appeal ongoing.
So far, the Union County Board of Education has been billed $525,444.26 in attorney fees.
Chief Communications Officer Rob Jackson clarified in an e-mail that the costs are associated with the mediation with the county commissioners, the public records lawsuit brought by the commissioners and for the trial — including preparation and filing.
The Union County Board of County Commissioners budgeted $450,000 for the trial.
According to Public Information Officer Brett Vines, $335,254 has been spent so far. Vines said that included mediation and all costs related to the trial.

Snooki Claims That the World Will End in a Zombie Apocalypse — WTF Alert! (VIDEO)
Snooki is a wise lady, and the Jersey Shore guidette dropped a knowledge bomb on us recently: She knows how the world will end.
"One day, I know that the world is going to end with zombies," she told Celebuzz in a Q&A session. "I mean, because all the viruses going around and the vaccines, someone is going to screw it up one day and we're all going tot turn into zombies and eat each other."
But she has a solution: a change of scenery! "Hopefully I'm in Mexico or something," she said to the host, and he quickly asked, "What zombie wants to hang out in Mexico?!" Considering her Chilean heritage, she could have been offended, but she just clarified, saying she meant "somewhere not here!"
We told you Snooki is afraid of the dark, because "in the dark, usually there's ghosts and zombies," so it's no surprise she thinks they will also one day take over the world.
Hey, you never know. We just hope the zombies will be tan!
Do you agree with Snooki, or do you think she's crazy? Sound off below!

A great food garden isn't born overnight. It's an investment over several years, especially with soil and water, to end up with a garden that has the maximum returns and quality.
Soil and water are the two most important investments you can make for your food garden, especially the soil, because it has everything that your plants need, except the sunlight. Your soil affects the water and it affects the nutrients. If your soil isn't healthy, then your plants won't be healthy and you'll have poor production. You may struggle to keep your plants healthy.
The two best ways to invest in your soil is first to get a soil test done. When you start gardening and then regularly every four to five years – unless you have a major problem you need to correct.
The other thing to do when investing in your soil is to add organic matter. A great way to do that is to add compost. Or, you can add other types of organic matter. For instance, in the fall after your garden is done you can till in leaves or grass clippings that haven't been treated with pesticides. Manures also are a great option to add some organic matter to your soil so that you can constantly be improving the fertility of the soil and also the tilth of the soil. Tilth means how easy the soil is to work with. If you have a clay soil, or a sandy soil, adding organic matter is going to be the best investment you can make to improve your soil.
If you're in a larger garden situation, or perhaps you don't already have access to water, you need to make sure of your access to water before you plant a single seed or plant. That could mean digging a well and getting the water tested, or finding a way to hook into the city water supply.

Having partnered, each becomes the agent of the other(s), thus each becomes individually liable for the debts of all, but, concerning each's entitlement to share the profits derived, only as clearly beforehand agreed, .
Consequently, it makes good sense for partners to get a firm grip of the happenings which cause a partnership to end, as under:
1. The completion of the project for whose execution the partnership was formed, or, before such time, any of the following:
2. The death of, or onset of insanity in, a partner.
3. The resignation of a partner.

Coach K is a combined 25-6 .806 vs. Michigan (16-5) and Michigan State (9-1) and wins gold medals for America. Why do we not like him again? He has played OSU 3 times in his 34-35 years at Duke with OSU skull-crushing Duke in one of those match-ups. It's not like Duke has been a thorn in the side of OSU, minus Luke Kennard.

Then all of a sudden that girl was hung on the bridge as a "I see what you are doing Cohle, come and get me. Crazy prediction but who really knows.
I think that was the first time we have ever lost in our history when scoring 35 points or more.

He helped us beat an SEC team whether they like to admit it ever happened or not! That alone makes me love the kid! One of my all-time favorites.
Being from Steubenville, I have always respected Martins Ferry's sports programs. They are actually one of about 6 schools in the entire country that have an all-time winning record in football against my alma mater, Big Red. It is something like 14-13-1 although we haven't played one another in about 30-40 years. Would looooooveeee a home and home series with them but it'll never happen. They know who is king of the valley the last 30 years.
