Rumors are flying that Barack Obama cheated with a nice-looking young gal named Vera Baker. I guess Michell is none too happy. Right Blogistan is alight with excited chatter at the unverified rumors. Feed Your ADHD has a great photo Montage.
Here is a typical comment:
Wise Latina Said…
Interesting. I always thought the guy was gay. Look at how other gay men like Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, David Brooks and Rachel Maddow gush over him.
I tend to agree with Wise Latina, kinda… We may be jumping the gun.
On the other hand, if we apply a little liberal logic…
Clinton bombed Serbia to try to cover his molestation of a barely-legal girl in the Oval Office…
George Bush invaded Iraq to cover his serial bumblings and to whip up patriotic fervor so he could get reelected…
Now, a major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico causes an environmental catastrophe that grips the nation's attention.

Diagnosing Why Your Weight is Over
I think the most confusing aspect of Weight loss for Indian People is understanding why they are overweight. Forget about the diet, exercise, recovery from illness, etc., let's discuss about the root causes of a Weight Problem in India.
I've talked a lot of times about diet and exercise role. But "diet and workout" can mean differ from person to person. I've seen weight over due to over eating, sweet intake, illness problems that cause many issues etc. This is why I've always said that weight loss problem should have been named "India's main Problem."
If you have been hit by Over Weight, and are confused with what to do and how to solve this problem you have no guidelines how to start, then you should read through this post listed below several times. If you have doubt then you can comments our expert team will guide you as soon as possible.
- Thinking Negative, Too much Thinkers or Depressed : Its not much long life so be happy always dont care about anything for too long everything will be fine so don't take worry for too long.
- Bored or loneliness : Some people don't mix with anyone and they feel very much bore and dont do any activity because of that Be social and do lot of activity to keep you happy in this world.
- Too much Angry on Small Things : Mind is not made for too much anger on small things Be calm and let other do what they like its their life and their is no use to bother on everything.
- Too much Relax : If you are not doing anything and just sitting at home without worry about anything that is also bad be active if you are not working or jobless then go outside in park just take rounds daily do yoga but don't just eat and rest for whole day.
- Wrong Diet Plan : Whenever you feel hungry you go outside and eat anything just think about your weight, as in India its not easy to find good food and if you found good food you cant afford that so you go for 10 Rs. samosa or 10 Rs. momo's which are not good for health.
- Lack of Exercise : That is main reason if you are eating too much than you have to burn that by doing lot of exercise.
Metabolism Role in Weight Loss Program
You want energy for living and Metabolism is process which convert energy from food consumed by you mix with oxygen and produce energy. So its simple you need higher metabolism rate to produce calories for blood circulation, digestion, growth of overall organs etc. You need fuel to charge your body and metabolism provide you that requirement.
By Age our metabolism rate decline as our body is not so flexible as in young age so we are not able to burn calories as we do at young age. There is different metabolism rate in Men and Women. As men have more muscles and flexiblity compare to womens so they have more metabolism rate and they can lose weight earlier than women.
How to increase your metabolism?
If you have low metabolic rate then change your lifestyle can work well for you. You have to start walking then exercise to lose weight and build up muscles.
• Increase water intake as basic need of body is fluids which is good in form of water, coconut water juices etc.
• As at the time of exercise your body need more work from muscles and Vitamin D give you good power. Natural source of Vitamin D is Sun.
• Get proper sleep at least 7-8 hrs day.
Foods Boost Metabolism Rate
You have to spend on your diet and why not if you are working hard and earning money they note down certain foods which you have to include in your diet.
Vitamin-D : As we say earlier vital role of Vitamin D in increasing metabolism rate. So how much you have to spend to buy vitamin D answer is time just take some time from your life and go outside morning and evening and take sun light on the body that is natural source of Vitamin D. You also try some food which have vitamin D like Milk, Fish, Soya foods, Eggs.
Melon and cucumber : Water based foods will help you but its not easy to find them as you see there are many varieties of cucumber in the Indian market and most of them are bitter so choose best quality and try to take before your meal as salad. Dont Drink water after eating both water melon and cucumber.
Green tea : Change your tea style take tea without milk and go for green tea there are many flavors in the market so you will find according to your taste.
Fish: Not good news for Indian as most are vegetarians but fish have natural omega-3 fatty acids which can increase your metabolism easily.
Green vegetables: Clean and fresh vegetables hard to find but if you can buy go for broccoli, spinach and band gobhi.
Dry Nuts : Dry fruits like almonds, pistachios, walnuts and dry grains like moog ki daal.
Health benefits from honey are also come under the Ayurvedic and Best Example is Bipasha Basu's Health Secret.
How Man v. Food's Adam Richman 30 kg Weight Loss great example for Indian men who think that after 35 age there is no scope of weight loss in india. They believe after marriage its impossible to lose weight and get thin. but when you read the story of Adam you can see how it is possible at the age of 40.
But there are some people in this world who can't lose their weight by hard excercise or diet and only 5 year old boy from India Rishi 44kg suffering from Prader-Willi Syndrome, and by operation doctors 70% of his stomach through a gastrectomy Rishi has since lost about 13 KG weight.

Invisibility gun uses a beam of darkness to make objects vanish from sight December 13, 2013 at 12:42 pm
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have built a beam of darkness that can make objects invisible from a long distance away. This isn't the plot from some not-so-distant sci-fi movie: It really works. The beam of darkness can create a 3D region of invisibility — or "empty light capsule" as the researchers call it — that can hide macroscopic objects.

Spurwink Rod & Gun reloads: Tammy Walter is 1st woman president at embattled Cape Elizabeth club
CAPE ELIZABETH — When Mark Mayone approached Tammy Walter about succeeding him as president of the Spurwink Rod and Gun Club, he made one request: Don't say no right away.
"So I thought about it, talked to my husband and kids, and they were like, 'Mom, you have to do it,'" said Walter, who was elected unanimously on Feb. 6. "Because they know me, and I've always been interested in service work."
Walter, 54, has spent much of the past two decades volunteering at yoga festivals, and with organizations including the Trauma Intervention Program.
Taking the reins of a gun club in the midst of the most turbulent phase in its 60-year history, however, will pose a different challenge.
A native of Scarborough, Walter studied criminal justice at Southern Maine Community College. She worked for two years as a secretary in the Cape Elizabeth Police Department before becoming an insurance underwriter. When she married and moved to Cape Elizabeth 18 years ago, she dedicated herself to raising her children, service work, and her hobby as a fine arts photographer.
Two years ago, after trespassers burglarized her property, she bought a gun, took a few classes, and joined the Spurwink club.
When Mayone decided last year he wanted to step down as president to spend more time with his family and focus his energy more narrowly on a handful of gun club projects, he took to heart the words of the previous president, the late John Kenny, who stressed the importance of new blood for the club's survival.
"It just made sense to me to have Tammy, because she was a new club member, so you have that vibrancy that comes with a new membership," Mayone said. "You match that with someone who's highly intelligent, forceful in belief, who's compassionate and really cares about the club, and it's a win-win."
Now Walter, the first woman president in club history, must navigate the long-running dispute between Spurwink and its neighbors in the Cross Hill subdivision, whose complaints about safety and noise have resulted in a shooting range ordinance that is under review by the Town Council.
"I want us to all be in harmony together," Walter said. "I know that sounds like a Coke commercial, but that's what I truly want. And because I just came here, because this is new to me, I'm going to believe we're going to find a way. I welcome their emails. Talk with me. Get together with Mark and I. Come to the club."
Mayone, who remains heavily involved in the club's leadership, is less diplomatic when it comes to the nearby housing development, which began in the 1990s.
"We've had neighbors and other people say to us, 'This isn't a good fit anymore. Cape Elizabeth has changed.' Which it has," Mayone said. "Our nearest neighbor, when we first started here, was over a mile away. We've always been here. If it's not a good fit, then that's their problem."
Whether the two sides ever call a cease-fire may be beside the point. What matters now is the ordinance, which has been resisted by the club, not for any restrictions it would place on shooting – say, range hours, or the types of firearms allowed – but for purely financial reasons.
The ordinance calls for an extensive site plan and other engineering work that, the club fears, could total tens of thousands of dollars and bury it in costs.
The draft ordinance allows exceptions in the event that its enforcement results in hardship, but it will be difficult to know how, exactly, the town will interpret and apply that language until the club applies for an ordinance-mandated license – another contentious point among members, since the club was issued a license with no expiration more than 50 years ago.
According to Walter and Mayone, the club's biggest concern about the potential costs of the ordinance – and with court fees, should it come to that – is that they will delay long-term plans for safety and noise renovations that could help quell the concerns that led to the ordinance in the first place.
"We are a small club and our resources are very limited," Walter said of the 301-member organization, which raises about $10,000 a year through dues, raffles and dinners. "... We would accept any donations, corporate or private, to help move this along. Cabella's, are you listening out there? Last year, we donated to the Bruce Roberts (Toy) Fund, to the University of Maine camp at Bryant Pond. I would love to do more of that community work, but we have to put our funds into our 'no blue sky' goal."
"No blue sky" is part of the club's long-term plan for an estimated $87,000 in noise and safety upgrades. Although "no blue sky" doesn't include a roof, it serves as a sort of gold standard for outdoor range shot containment, going beyond National Rifle Association safety standards. The club recently applied for a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant worth more than $20,000.
Some day, Walter said, she hopes the club can focus its energy on what it does best: giving back to the community, expanding its youth shooting team, providing members with a safe and enjoyable place to exercise their right to bear arms.
Over the years, Spurwink's clubhouse, built in 1955, has hosted a wedding and countless Tuesday night cribbage games. A speaker series has featured coyote expert Geri Vistein and Maine politicians Jane Eberle and Chandler Woodcock. Sometimes, the members even do a little fishing; it is, after all, the Spurwink Rod and Gun Club.
Until then, ordinances and neighborhood feuds seem to be in the cards while the club tries to trudge ahead with its range improvements.
If and when they're ever completed, Mayone said, "My hope is that the neighbors will say, 'Wow, I can't believe what you guys have done down here. This is amazing. It's more than we ever would've expected. Can I have a membership?'"

The federal raid on Pilot Flying J's headquarters was a stunningly public spectacle.
But the FBI's investigation of the Knoxville-based truck-stop colossus — which became public this month — began quietly, and was made possible by a pair of shadowy figures who essentially acted as spies.
One was an informant identified as Confidential Human Source 1, who first alerted the FBI to the alleged fraud scheme and over a period of months recorded conversations with a Pilot employee known as CHS-2.

Belper-born Wimbledon referee Jarrett hopes computer checks run smoothly
Posted: April 01, 2013|
ANDREW Jarrett will be testing new computer systems at Wimbledon as preparations continue for the 2013 tournament.
Wimbledon 2012 may have been 10 months ago but referee Jarrett, from Belper, and his colleagues will use all the data from last year's tournament to check the new system is ready for June.
It is one of several jobs the Belper-born referee has to do in the next couple of months ahead of Wimbledon.
But, although he is known for overseeing the world's most prestigious tennis tournament, it is not only in London that the 55-year-old is in demand.
Related content
In the next few weeks, Davis Cup duty in Poland and Fed Cup commitments in Spain will also occupy Jarrett, as part of his officiating work.
"The second half of the year, after Wimbledon, always appears slow and the six months beforehand just tend to fly by," said Jarrett.
"As part of our spring testing, we need to do robust checks of the new IT system and we do this by running all the information from last year's tournament through it. That includes data, draws and results from every single event which happened last year.
"The good news is we don't do it in real-time, so it only takes three or four days instead of a fortnight.
"It's a good thing because I think it just settles and reassures everyone that everything is working as it should be."
Jarrett – who represented Derbyshire during his own playing career and contested 100 matches for the county – has been the Wimbledon referee since 2006, taking over when predecessor Alan Mills retired.
But away from Wimbledon, Jarrett – who made his playing debut for Great Britain in the Davis Cup more than 30 years ago – said he was looking forward to his other duties.
His role in both Poland and Spain will include checking rules and regulations are being met, helping set up the venue, ensuring practice times are suitable and speaking to the country's captains about their responsibilities.
In the Davis Cup, Poland will take on South Africa in a Group One Europe/Africa second-round contest, while, in Spain, Jarrett will oversee the Spaniards' match against Japan in the World Group play-offs.
"In this trade, you find yourself going to lots of places which you would never have thought of going to yourself, so it means you get a lot of variety," Jarrett added.
"It's really interesting to see these places and a good part of what I do."

Like Snooki, Miley Cyrus wasn't going to wait until Tuesday to celebrate her birthday. Instead, the nearly-18-year-old indulge in a private party after last night's American Music Awards, trading the long-tailed glam of her red carpet appearance for a tasteful black bikini-top and matching skin-tight pants (adulthood, y'all!). While the gruesome details are certain to come, Miley warned Access Hollywood in advance that she and mommy Tish would be facing each other in a dance-off. "Me and my mom actually have choreography for the night later — everyone loves when we dance in unison. There's one [move] where you do like, the fist pump. You Jersey Shore it for a second!"
Sunday wasn't entirely full of questionable choices, though. According to TMZ, Miley decided at the last minute not to cover Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" for the AMAs broadcast, plausibly because Bret Michaels was rumored to be dallying with Tish before she announced plans to divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus. Though everyone's denied the claims, odds are Daddy wouldn't have given that song choice his trademark standing "O". See photos from Sunday in the gallery below.
Update: TMZ has a photo of Miley getting a birthday kiss—and straddle—from a guy at the party who looks a lot like rumored boyfriend/actor Avan Jogia. Careful, dude: she's not really 18 until tomorrow!

Letter: Firefighters receive thanks for emergency call response
My brother Jeff Whaley and I were the developers of Black Bear Ridge Resort. We put a lot of heart and soul into the developement. I still own the wedding chapel, Angel's View Wedding Chapel and rent cabins in the resort through Pigeon Forge Cabins and Resorts L.L.C.
I just wanted to thank the Walden's Creek Fire Department and all others that responded to my 911 phone call after I was informed of the fire at one of the houses.
We did not have to put water in at the resort, but Jeff and I decided that we would pay to run city water and fire hydrants 500 feet apart instead of 1,000 feet apart. Needless to say, we know it could have been a lot worse, but we are grateful that many were spared and that we can continue to do business to help Sevier County.
Again, thanks to all firefighters and volunteers that responded and helped with the fire at Black Bear Ridge Resort.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/832,411, filed Apr. 10, 2001, entitled "Portable Computer With Removable Input Mechanisms," now U.S. Pat. No. 6,788,285. The aforementioned priority application is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of handheld computers. In particular, the invention relates to input mechanisms for handheld computers.
2. Description of the Related Art
Handheld computers use buttons as one means for receiving user-input. In particular, personal digital assistants (PDAs) use application buttons for making selections and launching programs, and scroll buttons to scroll displayed output.
Typically, handheld computers such as PDAs operate core functions for maintaining calendars, to-do lists, phone books, memos and electronic scrap books. The buttons provided with handheld computers are often optimized to carry out the core functions. Sometimes the buttons are labeled with icons to indicate a certain purpose. They may also be assigned to certain applications. For example, a memo button may be used to launch the memo application.
Due to its popularity and advancements in processing resources, handheld computers are increasingly used for more diverse applications. The additional processing resources and expansion slots have provided users with a medium to add applications requiring more interaction, such as for example, games. For PDAs, users must play games using the same button configuration for operating the core functions. While previous core functions may require users to press the buttons sporadically, games may require prolonged and intense use of the buttons.
In general, the buttons on the handheld computer are integrated into the housing. If the buttons break, the user is required to open the handheld computer, and often must send the handheld computer away for repair. Often, it is easier for the user to replace the handheld computer rather than repair the buttons.
Embodiments of the invention include a removable or attachable set of user-input mechanisms for a handheld computer. The handheld computer may be configured to provide input mechanisms that are decoupleable from its housing. These user-input mechanisms may include buttons positioned on a surface of the handheld computer. Embodiments of the invention enable the buttons to be replaced with other buttons.
Alternatively, a set of the user-input mechanisms may be mounted over existing buttons and controls of the handheld computer. For example, attachable button sets may be provided on cartridges or other forms of housings. The cartridges may couple to a portion of the handheld computer's housing.
Among other advantages, the handheld computer and attachable button sets enable users to replace buttons on the handheld computer if they break. The user may also swap buttons on the handheld computer to operate an application on the handheld computer that requires intense button use, or is more suited for a different button configuration.
In addition, users may use analog controls with a handheld computer operated to receive digital user inputs. For example, a handheld computer may be coupled to a joy stick or joy pad having 8 possible directional movements.
With removable and attachable button sets, joy sticks and pads, users may be provided with the ability to optimize the controls on the handheld computer for different applications.
A. System Overview
Embodiments of the invention provide a removable set of input mechanisms for users to operate a handheld computer. The removable set of input mechanisms may be replaced by other sets of input mechanisms. As a result, the versatility of the handheld computer is enhanced. In particular, the handheld computer may operate a diverse range of programs, and be equipped to provide input mechanisms that are better suited for select applications, as needed.
Other embodiments of the invention provide for an attachable device having one or more input mechanisms that may be overlaid onto an existing set of input mechanisms for a handheld computer. The attachable device may be used to alter the configuration of the existing input mechanisms, so as to match a preference of the user. In particular, certain configurations for input mechanisms may facilitate use of some applications. For example, a handheld computer may be operated with a game, and an attachable button set may place buttons in proximity one another to enable the user to play the game better.
B. Handheld Computer With Removable Input Mechanisms
Adjacent to display 120 is an input section comprising a plurality of interactive input mechanisms for receiving user-input. Examples of interactive input mechanisms include buttons used to enter data and make selections on the handheld computer. Other examples of interactive mechanisms include scroll buttons for manipulating the output provided on display 120. Still further, input mechanisms may include joysticks, push-buttons, glide pointers, and wheel button sets.
The front panel 112 may be positioned into segments that include attachment 200. On handheld computer 100, a platform 140 is formed where attachment 200 is to be received and coupled. The platform 140 includes a pair of opposing coupling structures 145, rising vertically from platform 140. In an embodiment, each coupling structure 145 includes a rail slot 146, having a divot 148. Each divot 148 is to retain corresponding structures on attachment 200.
A plurality of conductive contacts 155, 156 are formed on platform 140. In an embodiment shown, four button contacts 155 extend a length across platform 140. A pair of scroll contacts 156 are positioned towards the middle of the four button contacts, and are distributed along a direction perpendicular to the length. The button contacts 155 and scroll contacts 156 provide actuation signals when contacted by other conductive elements, such as provided on attachment 200. Ground contacts 158 are also provided for each of the plurality of contacts 155, 156.
The attachment 200 includes a front panel surface 212 that forms the remaining portion of front panel 112 when attachment 200 is joined with handheld computer 100. When joined, front panel surface 212 is flush with the remaining portion of front panel 112 on handheld computer 100. The attachment 200 includes a first button 210, a second button 220, a scroll button 230, a third button 240, and a fourth button 250. The scroll button 230 includes a top scroll button 232 and a bottom scroll button 234. In one exemplary use, buttons 210, 220, 240 and 250 are to launch programs and make selection on entries being displayed on display 120. The scroll button 230, including top scroll button 232 and bottom scroll button 234 are to scroll what is being displayed upward and downward, respectively.
The attachment 200 includes coupling slots 245, 245, positioned to be engageable with corresponding coupling structure 145 on handheld computer 100. A shape of each coupling slot 245, 245 matches a shape of the corresponding coupling structure 145. A thickness of attachment 200 matches a distance between platform 140 and front panel 112 of handheld computer 100.
In another embodiment, protrusion 248 may be replaced with a biased member or latching mechanism. For example, a latch member may extend along a portion of a length of rail 246 and at an acute angle. The latch member may be moved upwards to a biased position when engaged with rail slot 146 coupling structure 145. The latch member may return to an unbiased original position when the latch member engages divot 148.
C. Protocol for Removable Input Mechanisms
Embodiments of the invention include a protocol for enabling removable and interchangeable input mechanisms for use with handheld computer 100 (see
In an embodiment, a protocol requires four signal lines from processing resources of handheld computer 100. The four signal lines include data, clock, power (+3V), and ground. The four signal lines may be used to enable handheld computer 100 to be compatible with digital and analog input mechanisms. As such, handheld computer 100 is provided the versatility to be operated with joy sticks and other devices that use analog values.
An input device may be coded as digital or analog. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, a "frame" is sent over the data line. The first byte of the frame uses two bits to identify the device as either analog or digital. In the example provided, digital is provided by 1,1, and analog is provided by 1,0. Further, a multi-directional analog input devices may be identified as two (and possibly more) digital input devices, with one device being equated for each of two directional axes (i.e. X and Y). Each input device identified for an analog input device signals data sequentially.
Each input device is provided an identification (ID). For analog input devices, each axis is provided an identification, as it is considered to be a separate digital input device. The contacts 155, 156 (
A joystick or pad that can be operated in 8 directions may include 8 analog input device ID's. Since each analog input device is defined by 2 digital input device ID's, 16 total bit are used to identify input mechanisms. The joystick or pad would require all 16 identifications for its use.
Values for digital input devices may be coded differently for analog input devices. If an input device is identified as digital, 1 bit is used to identify the value provided from the input mechanism. If an input device is identified as analog, 8 bits are used to identify the analog value for that input device.
In addition, start and stop sequences may be used to differentiate information from input devices. Each start and stop sequence may be composed of the first 2 bits in the first byte signaled with the frame. In the example provided, the start and stop sequence is in the form of 1,0. When the start and stop sequence is encountered, the processing resources of handheld computer 100 identify the next sequence as a new input device. For a joystick, that may correspond to a different axis of the existing joystick position, or a new position for the joystick.
A subsequent 4-bit signal identifies the input device. If the input device is a digital type, the ID may identify its position on the platform 140 of handheld computer 100 (
If the input device is analog, the ID may identify a directional component. For example, for an 8-directional joystick, analog IDs may be assigned according to, for example, a configuration in which north=1, north-east=2, east=3, south-0 east=4 etc. The digital input device ID may provide a value for the east direction of a joystick movement. For example, with the digital input device=3, the subsequent analog value may be for the east component, in instances when the analog ID of the joystick may be 2, 3 or 4. The analog value is assigned the next 8-bits of the clock cycle. In one embodiment, the analog input mechanism includes hardware for determining an analog value when actuated. The hardware includes an analog-digital converter to signal the analog value in digital format to the processing resources 710 see
D. Overlaid Input Mechanisms
Embodiments of the invention may provide for a device including one or more input mechanisms that can be mounted over existing input mechanisms of a handheld computer 700. The device may provide a new configuration for an input mechanism. For example, the new configuration may reposition input mechanisms for the handheld computer, alter the number of input mechanisms, and/or change the nature of one or more of the input mechanisms.
The directional buttons 822-828 can be pressed individually or in pairs to create 8 possible directions. Each button 822-828 being pressed causes one of the corresponding pivotal members 832, 834 to pivot downward in one of two positions. When pivoted downward, the pivotal members 832, 834 contact and cause one of the two corresponding input mechanisms on handheld computer 700 to be pressed.

It would appear as though Santa decided that Google has in fact been a good child all year round as it decided to treat the company to 3.7m activations
Andy Rubin the Senior Vice President of Mobile at Google today announced that Android saw 3.7 million activations on the 24th and the 25th making it a truly bumper Christmas for Google and its smartphone OS.
While before the figures had suggested that Google was seeing around 700,000 handsets activated every day it would appear (unsurprisingly) that Christmas has had a bit of an impact on those stats with the weekend pushing those figures through the roof.
It's unlikely that Google will be able to maintain the 1.85 million daily average past the Christmas period however with high-end quad-core handsets such as the HTC Edge and the upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD it's hugely unlikely that Google will see stats decrease from their 700,000 recorded early this month.
Following the release of its latest operating system Ice Cream Sandwich and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus other handset manufacturers have begun to switch their current handsets over to Android 4.0 with updates set to land on the Samsung Galaxy S2, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and HTC Sensation.
Did you go for Google this Christmas? Let us know via the comments box below...

Red Star is the best sports bar in NYC. I travel from Manhattan to their location in Brooklyn! The food is awesome and the staff is super friendly and attentive. The customer service is nothing short of excellent. The Burgers and the Wings are the best I've ever had in New York City....by FAR! I've eaten here no less than 50 times and have never had a disappointing experience! If you're in the mood for dessert, the fried cheesecake is awesome!
Posted by Anon on 03/25/2011
Some of these reviews are a little dated. Wing night has upped the wings to 50 cents each but that's definitely not an issue. The wings are always plump, crispy, and drenched in sauce. RS offers tons of sauces for the wings (my friend once ordered raspberry wings?!?! Not bad, but I like my wings savory not sweet). Their pub fries are amazing (thick french fries covered in sour cream, scallions, melted cheese, and bacon bits. A meal after a true Poles' heart) There are two floors. Downstairs is the main sports bar and dinning area. While upstairs holds a smaller bar, as well as a large karaoke area containing an assortment of black couches, a few flat screens and a stage. The atmosphere is always relaxed and the usual crowd is comprised of 33% college kids, 33% hipsters, 33% middle aged Polish guys, and 1% random. But all come together for wings and sports. =D

I love this place. I have never eaten in the restaurant, but have it delivered all the time and every time it is great. I know it is probably fattening and not healthy, but it is darn good.
Posted by anonymous on 08/27/2010
So explain how a shop delivers to your house one night but then refuses to the next because as they put it you live too far out. Well it wasn't too far out the week prior oh and your website says you deliver to all of Greenpoint and there is no way you could pretend that we live anywhere else, we live next to McGlorrick park for god sakes. The person on the phone was pretenious, rude, self righteous and while those could all mean the same thing, he was all of that and a total jerk on top.

I've been there on more than once. It seems as if they are letting the food slip a little. Their bar staff is what keeps me comming back. Super friendly service and they get to know their customers. They have to work on the kitchen. I may have dinner before I go though. Don't hate me.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/27/2010
Great hamburgers and fries! I order delivery often! Sandwiches are pretty good too! Ranch is tasty!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/27/2010
I tried this place before and remembered hating my food, but after reading these good reviews I thought I'd give it another try. Big mistake. We ordered a few different things and none of us were able to consume more than three bites of any of it. Super stale fries, super poor veggie burger (patty chock full of peas and carrots) and super sloppy quesadilla. Maybe this would be edible if I was hammered. But we're out $25 bucks and still hungry.

Two Ventura men serving probation arrested on suspicion of resisting police officer
Two Ventura men serving probation were arrested Sunday in connection with charges including possession of a controlled substance and resisting an officer, officials said.
A patrol officer saw a vehicle commit a traffic violation on Ralston Street near Portola Road about 3:30 a.m. and conducted a stop, Ventura police said.
When the vehicle pulled over, all three occupants got out and ran in different directions, police said. The officer caught up to Jeramiah Broderson, 20, police said. Broderson resisted arrest and a brief struggle followed, officials said. He was taken into custody.
During the struggle, Anthony Novetti, 29, returned to the vehicle and drove away, police said.
Responding officers quickly found the vehicle in the 1300 block of Saratoga Avenue and took Novetti into custody.
The third person from the vehicle, a woman between 20 and 25, was not found, authorities said.
Novetti is a part of the postrelease offender supervision program and was arrested on suspicion of resisting, delaying or obstructing a police officer and possession of a controlled substance. Broderson is on active probation and wanted on a felony warrant, police said. He was charged with resisting an officer, police said.
The vehicle was impounded because investigators could not find the registered owner. Whether it was stolen was unknown, authorities said.
No one was injured in the incident.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information may call the Ventura Police Department at 339-4493.

As someone who loves doing photography, I loved our photoblitz assignment. Being at Mary Washington where there are tons of nifty things to look at and see, I had many places where I could photograph but chose the exterior of Ball Hall, my residence hall. When all was said and done, I took 32 photographs in the 10 minutes that I photoblitzed. I showed some to my cohorts on the Yearbook staff and they are interested in some of the pics for this year's yearbook.
Since I love doing Journalistic photography, I tend to use lots of odd angles when taking photos. Arguably most of my photos in my photoblitz assignment could be seen as being at odd angles, which I really like, giving a different perspective to the 'normal' and 'everyday' sights.
I thought of the some of the tips from Ten Ways To Improve Your Craft and used them when photoblitzing, in particular with my photo of the squirrel on the roof. I noticed it and thought about being pickier. I waited until I was sure that my camera was in focus before shooting the photo and I love it.
I managed to cull my thirty or so photos down to a set of six to share as the best of my photoblitz. Some of these will end up in my best photos set, some will not.

I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
If only Martins had just held on for a bit longer so Barboza could have gotten a TKO instead of a submission to strikes win and I would have gotten 29 points on this card! Oh well, I'll stick with 27 points!
If someone can tell me how many points I got, I'll rep you.
yes I'm lazy.

Designer Bunny Williams believes "you can find things that are visually appealing and of good quality at any price point." She turns to Anthropologie for exotic bedspreads, like the one at left ($148), and for table linens from Asia. Crate and Barrel is her choice for inexpensive white china in modern shapes; she shops at frontgate.com to find fun throws to tuck into sofas in dog lovers' homes.
Debbie Travis, host of HGTV's Facelift, is a fan of potter Jonathan Adler's soap dishes ($14.99 each) and other bathroom wares from Bed Bath & Beyond — "modern shapes that look like Japanese lacquerwork." She also likes West Elm's knickknack shelves, especially the one shaped like "a big fat hollow L" ($69).
For clients with "Xbox-crazy kids," Brooke Gomez of Gomez Associates orders game-storage boxes from Hold Everything. "We put them in a 1940s wooden bookcase, and they looked fantastic." Gomez is also partial to the pebbled-leather file boxes ($175 each) that mimic those from Smythson, the British luxury leather company, as well as cloth-covered boxes and desk accessories ($24 and up).
Beverly Balk scours art museum catalogs for colorful posters, "a great, affordable way to fill space." Her own touch: adding flat silver-leaf frames a full four inches wide. "Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural drawings in overscale frames work fabulously in a foyer," she says. (You can get a 26" by 39" poster of Fallingwater for $17.95 from momastore.org.)
Eric Cohler raves about Spiegel's good-looking Peche table lamp ($159), with a pink-and-melon striped shade that "gives a beautiful glow," and the Ming-style cocktail table ($299) that "looks like it costs four times as much."
New York designer Susan Zises Green furnished her Nantucket living room straight out of the Restoration Hardware catalog. She bought the "really smart-looking" English Roll Arm sofa ($1,895) and the tufted Gracie chair ($995) with ottoman ($545), all covered in tobacco-colored linen.
Madura, a French company with a U.S. store in Boston, is "one of my secrets," says Penny Drue Baird of Dessins LLC. The shop and site, madurahome.com, offer drapes from $69, pillows from $20, and "all kinds of accessories."
Jeffrey Bilhuber swears by metal floor lamp #6505/1 from holtkotter.com ($290). Its slim profile and opaque shade are elegant but unobtrusive, "so you don't walk into a room and see a sea of lampshades." This pick is seen in his book, Jeffrey Bilhuber's Design Basics.
Need more chairs for your next dinner party? Do as Frank Webb and Matthew White of White Webb LLC do — turn to the "clean lines and affordable quality" of the seating in the Design Within Reach catalog and order the sleek Lina folding leather chairs ($110 each, $398 for four). "Pull them out of storage," says Webb, "and you're good to go."
Matthew Smyth logs on to wickerwarehouse.com to purchase Bel Aire Bistro chairs ($69.95 each). They're made of all-weather resin but look like woven rattan, he says. "These chairs are great for the kitchen because spills wipe right off, and you can also take them outside and not worry."

Marc Swanson (American, b. 1969)
|In Brooklyn-based Marc Swanson's identity-exploring artistic practice, he combines materials and narratives from his personal history into gorgeous confessional yet enigmatic diorama-like constructions. Covering taxidermy deer heads with glittery rhinestones, for example, he regularly meshes ritual crafts from his upbringing in rural New England with emblems from his coming-of-age in the San Francisco queer club scene, often uniting clashing symbols of masculinity and power in a single work. A forlorn Yeti featured in his early room-sized installations serves as a surrogate for the artist and his methods of hunting and gathering, collaging and mythologizing. Recent shrine-like boxes, photo-works, and totemic sculpture assemble kitsch objects into sensuous formal experiments, which also function as spiritual and devotional exercises in the ongoing process of disassembling one's self.
Swanson's two cloth and chain works on view elaborate personal tokens into understated yet seductive memorials. In Untitled (Black Fabric with Chains), 2009, the artist rehangs a sun-bleached curtain from his studio window and embellishes it with dangling gold chains. Imprinted by the sun, the cloth carries a physical memory, a ghost-like mark of time past that Swanson touchingly celebrates with adorning jewelry. In the similarly melancholy Untitled (Wall-hanging Shirt and Chains), 2011, the artist drapes used cotton t-shirts, which have been sewn together -- to evoke tanned animal skins. Fringed with limp chains, the curving, pleated fabric arouses a baroque-like pathos. Finally, a new pyramidal, pyre-like assemblage of antlers encrusted with white rhinestones not only marries icons of the artist's country and urbane selves, but also transforms a symbol of death into a dazzling monument to renewal.
Marc Swanson graduated with an MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College, NY in 2004. He has exhibited around the country since his inclusion in the inaugural Greater New York at PS1 in 2005, including solo exhibitions at the St. Louis Art Museum, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, and most recently, the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston (summer 2011). Important group exhibitions have included The Spectacular of Vernacular, Walker Art Center (traveled to CAM Houston summer 2011), Between Spaces, MOMA/PS1, New York, among others.
Midnight Sun, on view at Inman Gallery from July 8 - August 20th, 2011, was the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery.

By Heather Forsgren WeaverAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, 2010 Heather Forsgren Weaver of American Forces Press Service is a regular contributor to Family Matters. Heather's been heavily involved in this blog from the start. She edits, helps write and posts content on a daily basis.
In this blog, Heather writes about a visit Army Secretary John McHugh made to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., where he vowed to maintain funding for family programs.
Secretary McHugh Remains Committed to Family Services
Army Secretary John McHugh is "strongly committed" to making soldiers and family services a top priority, he told the Northwest Guardian newspaper, the local newspaper for Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.
"When it comes to any budget cuts, should that time arrive, that's the very last place we'll look, not the first and that's different than years past because I think there was a real tendency to go to the kinds of dollars that we're supporting in those programs," Secretary McHugh said.
Don Kramer, a reporter for the Guardian, wrote about Secretary McHugh's two-day visit to Washington in "Secretary of the Army Pledges Support for Soldier, Family Programs."
The Army is doing a better job in how it welcomes soldiers home after deployment and reintegrates them, Secretary McHugh told Kramer.
"For a long time, we, if not overlooked, certainly misunderstood the complexity of bringing a soldier back home, reintroducing them into a totally different environment than he or she had been experiencing during that deployment, helping the families to come together as well," Secretary McHugh said. "They're human beings and it's not just a switch you can turn on or off. We need to ensure they have the support and facilities necessary to do that."
Secretary McHugh has been downrange many times, he told Kramer.
"I've had a chance to go to Iraq 15 times now and Afghanistan five and it always takes my breath away to get out there and see these young soldiers doing incredibly important, often incredibly dangerous things with such competence and such bravery. You can't understand the depth of it until you really see it…. They really create a debt that we can never truly repay," Secretary McHugh said.

New vaccine for prostate cancer
And international team of experts who wants a vaccine to fight prostate cancer without damaging surrounding tissues. The vaccine for the moment has only been tested on mice but the results can be seen in a few years you can get to human trials.
The expert team consists of scientists from the University of Leeds and by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Their study was recently published in "Nature Medicine". According to experts, the vaccine would not only tested against prostate cancer, but also to treat cancers of the breast, pancreas and lung. All this has already begun to illness and not as a preventive vaccine.
The therapeutic vaccine is therefore to be recognized by the immune system proteins called "antigens". As stated by Richard Vile, head of the team in Minnesota, "The immune system is believed to have been attacked by the virus, which expresses antigens related to cancer that must be eliminated" and the result is an immune reaction against tumor cells.

Conclusion of Huanaco Community Latrine Project – Peru
The project was to build two public bathrooms (each bathroom having a men's and a women's room), for the use of the entire community.
Frieda reports that the municipality completed the construction within budget. Funds from Water Charity went directly toward buying the building materials. The community supplied bricks, some roofing materials, labor, and tools.
Frieda expressed her thanks:
On behalf of the community in Huanaco in Ica, Peru, I want to thank you for your generosity in helping build public bathrooms in Huanaco. For many families the public bathroom is the only bathroom they have access to.
The hygiene commission helped carry out various educational sessions about how to make safe drinking water in the home, how to separate trash, when to wash hands, and how to block the various routes of contamination.

We again wish to thank The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust for providing the funding for this project.

Amazing 0 Degree Bag
I am a side sleeper and so the stretch system in this bag really appealed to me. I have never been more comfortable in a sleeping bag in my life. I was able to sleep comfortably in the fetal position, knees bent and all. The loft on this bag is also phenomenal, by far the warmest most comfortable bag I have owned. I am 5'9" and I have a bunch of room in the footbox so the regular would definitely fit someone up to 6'.

The Kardashians
Did Kris Jenner Exploit Her Family? Kardashian Momager Fights Back!
It's no secret that Kris Jenner makes money through managing her now-uber-famous Kardashian children, and she's gotten plenty of flack for doing so. But no one has a harder time of it than Kris herself.
"I feel guilty all the time," Kris told US Weekly, "Because I can't be everywhere at once."
While we're sure all moms feel that way to a certain extent, the fact that Kris is doing double duty as mom and manager gives her double the number of issues to worry about.
"One moment, I'm talking to Khloe as her mom," she said, "Suddenly, she'll turn around and say … 'I'm your client, you didn't do this.' I get scolded or, you know, they're not happy about something and I have to fix it."
The manager part of Kris' "momager" label is what makes her detractors cry exploitation, because Kris gets 10% of all the deals she brokers for her kids. That means everything from Kim's Playboy spread and the sale of Kourtney's baby pictures, and likely Khloe's gig co-hosting The X-Factor. That may sound distasteful to those outside the entertainment industry, but the Kardashian women are stars who need managers, and with Kris running their careers at least that money stays in the family!
Has Kris ever gone too far in pushing her children? Probably. Kim has commented that she regrets posing for Playboy, which her mom encouraged her to do. Still, Kris insists that her kids are happier when they are pushed towards success. "My girls are not pansies," she said. But I think everyone needs direction."
Kris is negotiating her tricky situation as best she can, and she can admit when she's made a misstep. "She's not perfect and she knows that, "a friend of Kris' told the magazine. But, her friend added,"Her mistakes never come from a bad place."

"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette
The Story of the Song: "You Oughta Know" is blistering confessional ballad sung by a woman scorned. The furious narrator is confronting her the man who dumped her for another woman and listing not only his broken romantic promises to her, but their dirty escapades.
The Story Behind the Song: Alanis Morissette had been a teen star in Canada who made the mistake of getting involved with grown ass man (and Full House's Uncle Joey) Dave Coulier. Yeah, the guy who does the Rocky and Bullwinkle impressions. As unbelievable as it is to imagine Alanis, uh…going…uh…somewhere on him "in a theater," it's true. It's all true.
