Been twice this week. Everyday Pasta was tasty, the chicken salad sandwich I had today was good but not great. Atmosphere is nice, although not significantly nicer than Amsterdam one block away. I'm very irrate though - I just noticed that they do not have free refills, so without warning I ended up having to pay $7 for coke. This explains why my share of yesterday's bill was high too. LAME. Soda is already a high profit margin item, charging for every refill is ridiculous. At least one refill should be free. Probably not going there again.

The desserts here are no joke. Get the warm chocolate cake. There is no flour so it is so light and airy! Roasted chicken was awesome and moist, Veggie paella was amazing, BBQ pork loin was perfect and came with a couple of ribs! (nice surprise) and the mussels with gorgonzola and pancetta are out of this world! Just incredible...everybody needs to make this their breakfast, lunch and dinner spot. Oh right, and they have this awesome table for large groups...FINALLY a drama free place to go with friends for birthdays!!!! Highly recommended!!!

I ate here the other day and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with good food. There isn't anything 'exotic' on the menu, but what they do make, they make well. I had the Rotisserie Chicken and it really hit the spot. This used to be Radio Perfecto and where Haakon's falls short is in the bartending area. I am an open minded liberal NYer, but the owner needs to add more women bartenders. It is stocked with metrosexual male bartenders which is fine, but sometimes, after a day of work (or classes at Columbia), you want to look at a pretty female bartender as you drink your beer. Overall Haakon's is off to a good start and better than AmCaf, but please Mr Owner... hire some women bartenders!

New restaurant for M.side Heights (aka Columbia U area) brings new light to Amsterdam Avenue. Homey food but not boring, they serve excellent portions especially for the reasonable prices. Went for lunch with a friend and we (he a picky eater) were very pleased with the quality, freshness, complexity (a weird word for American-type food! but true) and prices. Female server very unattentive, had to wave her down for water, ketchup (for the burger & fries, duh!) (which were great and hearty!) and the bill. Upon entry weird dirty aproned guy sitting on the patio (associated w/restaurant) "welcomed" us in but if he really is the owner/chef/proprietor as the sign says, he needs to either (1) not be sitting outside greeting people in the greasy stained sweaty aproned look or (2) stay in the kitchen and get a clean host. All said, high ratings because the place deserves it. Great menu options and much needed in this area...I'd been waiting for this opening for months...finally! Dont believe the negatives in these reviews.

First of all the food is really phenomenal. I ordered the chicken liver appetizer which was really just amazing with perfectly carmelized onion and apples. I am not vegetarian but I try to eat vegetarian a lot and so I had the vegetarian quinoa Paella. I am so used to disappointment in restaurants with horrible grilled veggie sandwiches as the only option for vegetarians but the Paella was really a marvel. Perfectly fresh, perfectly cooked veggies including peppers asparagus, zucchini and eggplant. Quinoa is a favorite of mine and that was mixed with rice. The Sauce is what really made the dish--somehow amazingly delicate and rich at the same time, based on tomato but not really a tomato sauce per se, fabulous spices and RICH despite no egg and cheese. There might be butter in it--you should ask, if thats a problem. In any case so much bettter than i ever imagined. Service is "newbie"--but surely not as bad as folks here report. Just kind of inexperienced. I got my food fine. Decor I thought kind of blah but nice enough. And Prices are reasonable. So I really recommend this place, based on my one visit. I came at lunch so maybe that was why my visit was so good--maybe when they are busy it all goes downhill. But I can't really find fault with this place.

Halloween Fun at the Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Dixon, California
Buyer Judy tells us about a recent family outing to the Pumpkin Patch and World Famous Corn Maze in Dixon, California…
We arrive to the pumpkin patch late Saturday afternoon and were a great day for a fall activity. It is right off Interstate 80 so the location was very easy to find.
There were lots of families picking-out pumpkins for the little ones and they also had smaller corn mazes and hay rides for smaller children.
We paid for our tickets and needed to purchase a corn maze ticket by 8pm to get into the corn maze before it closed at 10pm. The organizers provide you with a detailed maze map and advise you that it should take roughly 2 hours to get through the maze. Many families recommend going when the patch first opens in the beginning of October because by the end of the month, the maze pathways are not as organized and open. They start to harvest all their corn in early November so the patch closes soon after Halloween after a huge Pumpkin smashing event!
We had 4 adults and 7 kids in our group so as we started the maze, all the kids were running around everywhere because they were so excited. The kids enjoyed it immensely because it was like a huge puzzle piece game to find their way out.
By the time we finished the whole 52 acres of maze, it was getting very late and people were still coming in at night. It's very popular at night; people bring flashlights and warm clothing when the temperature drops.
You can see all the pumpkins on the ground and can actually pick them from the ground which is really exciting. All the pumpkins are bright orange and ready to be brought home and carved. The pumpkin patch was pretty large so the organizers provided little wagons to take your pumpkins back to your cars easily.
I would definitely suggest that everyone wear very comfy shoes because the pathways are all bumpy. Also I would bring drinking water since the maze takes a long time. Also it may be a good idea to bring lunch or snack and leave it in the car since the maze takes awhile and the children may be hungry.
Corn Maze admission is $10 dollars.
Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch is open from 9am-10pm Daily.

A bar code scanner is disclosed comprising an egg-shaped housing member containing a scanning member which can be easily held by a checkout operator for a handheld scanning operation. A support member associated with the scanner has a vertically orientated support portion which has a magnet mounted in its end having a spherical-shaped mating surface which engages the correspondingly shaped surface of a magnet mounted to the under surface of the housing member enabling the scanner to be releasably supported on the support member in a plurality of scanning positions.
1. A system for scanning a bar code label comprising;
an optical bar code reader having a generally eliptical shaped outer surface forming a housing member which is easily and completely grasped by the hand of an operator and includes an opening at one end of the bar code reader;
a scanning assembly mounted in said optical bar code reader for projecting scanning light beams through said opening for scanning a coded label positioned adjacent the bar code reader;
switch means mounted in said outer surface adjacent the opening for operating the scanning assembly when actuated by the hand of the operator while grasping the housing member;
a vertically oriented support member; and
magnetic releasable engaging means mounted in said support member and in said optical code reader having complementary mating surfaces for releasably holding the bar code reader in a plurality of free standing scanning positions which orientates the bar code reader around a horizontal axis in a general horizontal or vertical direction when the bar code reader is positioned on the support member allowing hands free scanning of a bar code label which is moved past the opening when the bar code label is either below or above the bar code reader, said releasable engaging means enabling the bar code reader to be easily removed from the support member for use as hand-held scanner in scanning a bar code label.
2. The combination of claim 1 in which said engaging means includes a first magnet member mounted in the bar code reader and a second magnet member mounted in the support member for engaging the first magnet member upon the positioning of the reader on the support member enabling the bar code reader to be supported by said support member in said plurality of free standing positions, said magnet members having corresponding spherical shaped mating surfaces enabling the bar code reader to be oriented in a plurality of generally horizontal and vertical scanning positions when positioned on the support member.
This invention relates to laser bar code readers and more particularly to hand-held laser bar code readers.
Present check-out systems found in retail or supermarket stores include a point-of-sale terminal device positioned adjacent a check-out counter which includes an optical scanning device for scanning a bar code pattern on a label attached to a purchased merchandise item. The scanning device generates signals representing the coded data on the label which are used to generate the price of the purchased merchandise items. In some check-out systems, a hand-held bar code reader has been utilized where the purchased merchandise items can be easily handled by the check-out operator so as to position the reader adjacent the bar code label on the purchased merchandise item. Prior hand-held bar code readers have required that the operator use one hand to hold the reader while utilizing the other hand to hold the purchased merchandise item in a position allowing the reader to scan the coded label on the item. It would be desirable to have the hand-held reader mounted in such a manner as to enable the check-out operator to utilize both hands in moving the purchased merchandise items across the check-out counter while scanning the coded labels on the purchased merchandise items. It would further be desirable to have such a hand-held reader adapted to be grasped by the check-out operator to scan those bar code labels on a merchandise item which is easily handled by one hand of the operator. This arrangement allows the check-out operation to be completed in a minimal amount of time.
There is provided a bar code reader comprising an elongated egg-shaped housing member having a scanning unit mounted therein for projecting scanning light beams through a front portion of the housing member and a base member. The housing member includes a spherical shaped mounting portion which has mounted therein a magnet for engaging a magnet mounted in a post portion of the base member. The post portion extends in a vertical direction thereby positioning the bar code reader above the base member allowing the bar code reader to scan a coded label on a merchandise item moved past the front portion of the bar code reader by the operator utilizing both hands. The housing member is adapted to be grasped by the operator and removed from the post portion to function as a hand-held portable bar code reader for scanning a bar code label on a merchandise item that is moved past the housing member. The base member includes a printed circuit board on which is located the electronics for decoding the bar code data generated by the scanning operation of the bar code reader. The printed circuit board may be connected to the scanning unit by either a cable or a cableless communication system including a transceiver mounted in the base member. The base member is connected to a data terminal device by either a cable or by a cableless communication system utilizing transceivers located in the base member and in the terminal device.
It is therefore a principal object of this invention to provide a portable optical bar code reader which can be easily attached to a supporting member allowing the operator to move a purchased merchandise item past the bar code reader utilizing both hands.
It is another object of this invention to provide a hand-held bar code reader which can be easily employed in a hand-held operation or in a hands free operation.
It is another object of this invention to provide a hands-free/hands-held bar code reader which is simple in construction and low in cost.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention, as well as the invention itself, will become more apparent to those skilled in the art and in light of the following detailed description taken in consideration with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the optical bar code reader of the present invention shown mounted on a support base;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bar code reader of the present invention showing the bar code reader being grasped by one hand of the check-out operator for use in a hand-held environment;
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the bar code reader and the base member showing the location of the adjacent mounted magnets for mounting the bar code reader onto the base member.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of the optical bar code reader of the present invention generally indicated by the numeral 20 comprising an egg-shaped housing member 22 having a front portion 24 in which is mounted a glass substrate 26 through which scanning light beams are projected in a manner that will be described more fully hereinafter. The housing member 22 includes a support portion 28 which removably engages the post portion 30 of a base member 32 which extends in a vertical direction from the base member. As will be described more fully hereinafter, the support portion 28 of the bar code reader 20 is held in engagement with the post portion 30 by use of magnets mounted within the support portion 28 and the post portion 30. A cable member 34 connects the bar code reader 20 with the base member 32. A second cable member 36 extending from the rear of the base member 32 is connected to a data terminal device (not shown) for transmitting signals representing the data generated by the bar code reader 20 in scanning a bar code label. As shown in FIG. 2, the bar code reader is easily grasped by the hand 38 of the check-out operator to function as a hand-held scanner in which the bar code reader is moved past a bar code label attached to a purchased merchandise item.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a side sectional view of the bar code reader 20 of the present invention and the base member 32. Mounted within the housing member 22 is a scanning module 40 which is fully disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,971,410 which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention and which is fully incorporated herein by reference. The scanning module 40 will project scanning light beams through the glass substrate 26 when operated upon actuation of the switch member 27 (FIG. 1) by the check-out operator. Mounted to the scanning module 40 is a printed circuit board 42 containing the electronics for controlling the operation of the scanning module 40 in scanning a bar code label on a purchased merchandise item (not shown). The printed circuit board 42 is connected by wire 44 to a insertable plug member 46 mounted on a rear extension portion 48 of the housing member 22.
Located within the plug member 46 is one end of the cable 34 connected to the wire 44 for transmitting video signals from the bar code reader 20 to a printed circuit board 50 mounted within a recess portion 52 in the base member 32. The other end of the cable 34 is mounted within an insertable plug member 54 for connection to the printed circuit board 50. In a similar manner the cable 36 is positioned within an insertable plug member 56 for engagement with the printed circuit board 50. The other end of the cable may be connected to a remote data terminal device (not shown) as indicated by the arrow 37. In one embodiment of the present invention, power can be supplied to the optical bar code reader 20 through the cables 36 and 34. Where a cableless transmission system is incorporated, a transceiver is mounted on the printed circuit board 42 in the optical bar code reader 20 and also on the printed circuit board 50 for enabling signals to be transmitted between the bar code reader and the base member 32. In this latter arrangement, the optical bar code reader 20 includes a battery member 58 mounted on a support member 60 for supplying power over wire 62 to the printed circuit board 42. A receptacle 64 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is mounted in the side of the housing member 22 for receiving a battery charger for charging the battery 58. The supporting portion 28 of the housing member 22 (FIG. 3) includes a magnet member 70 having a spherical shaped mating surface which when positioned on the post portion 30 will engage a similar shaped mating surface of a magnet member 72 or other type of magnetically attracted material mounted within the post portion 30.
It will be seen from this arrangement that positioning the bar code reader 20 on the post portion 30 of the base member 32 will enable the bar code reader 20 to be mounted in a free standing position allowing the scanning module 40 to scan a bar code label moved past the glass substrate 26 by the operator using both hands to hold the merchandise item. The reader 20 can be rotated when positioned on the post portion 30 to be orientated in a plurality of directions facilitating the scanning of a bar code label. When the occasion requires, the operator can grasp the bar code reader (FIG. 2) and remove it from the post portion for use in scanning a bar code label on a merchandise item in a manner that is well known in the art. The decoded signal generated by the electronics on the printed circuit board 50 will be transmitted over the cable 36 to the data terminal device from where the data is transmitted to a remote processor (not shown) for use in looking up the price of the merchandise item on which the scan bar code label is attached. This arrangement minimizes the time it takes for a scanning operations to occur.
While the salient features of the invention have been illustrated and described, it should be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications can be made in the invention presented without departing from the spirit and true scope of the invention. Accordingly, the present invention should be considered as encompassing all such changes and modifications of the invention that fall within the broad scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Overseas Contingency Operations:
Comparison of the Department of Defense's Overseas Contingency Operations Funding Requests for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Department of Defense (DOD) has been engaged in domestic and overseas military operations in support of overseas contingency operations (OCO). These operations include Operation Iraqi Freedom, which focuses principally on Iraq, and Operation Enduring Freedom, which focuses principally on Afghanistan, but also include operations in the Horn of Africa, the Philippines, and elsewhere. Obtaining an accurate picture of OCO costs is of critical importance given the need to evaluate trade-offs and make more effective use of defense dollars in light of the nation's long-term fiscal challenges. In the past, the GAO has reported on the need for DOD to become more disciplined in its approach to developing plans and budgets, including building more OCO costs into the base defense budget. In February 2009, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in coordination with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), developed new guidance for use when constructing the initial fiscal year 2010 OCO funding request that more narrowly defined what should be considered an OCO funding need. The guidance remained in effect for building the fiscal year 2010 OCO supplemental request and the fiscal year 2011 OCO budget request.
Under the Comptroller General's authority, GAO evaluated: 1. The fiscal year 2011 OCO budget request by comparing it to the fiscal year 2010 OCO appropriation and the fiscal year 2010 OCO supplemental request. 2. The assumptions DOD used to create the fiscal year 2010 OCO supplemental request and the fiscal year 2011 OCO budget request. 3. The extent to which the assumptions used for creating the fiscal year 2010 OCO supplemental request and the fiscal year 2011 OCO budget request are sensitive to operational changes. 4. The extent to which DOD moved certain costs of ongoing contingency operations from its OCO budget request into its base budget request.

Design students needing to access Raymond Loewy's official website today for a research paper on the father of industrial design are going to be a bit frustrated. The site has returned a "bandwidth limit exceeded" error message much of the day thanks to Google Google honoring Loewy's 120th birthday with a doodle on its home page today.
While today we might think of Apple's Apple's Steve Jobs and Jony Ive as masters of design, the breadth and impact of Loewy's designs on the world made him something of a modern Michelangelo and make the cool gadget creations of the aforementioned seem more like digital trifles by comparison.
The look of the Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive was Loewy's, as was the iconic Greyhound bus, slim Coca-Cola Coca-Cola bottle, Schick electric razor, Sears Coldspot refrigerator and the Lucky Strike cigarrettes package. He also claims credit for the look of a number of logos for the likes of Exxon, Nabisco and Shell, multiple automobiles and even the interiors of a few NASA spacecraft.
By the middle of the 20th century, Loewy's firm claimed that "the average person, leading a normal life, whether in the country, a village, a city, or a metropolis, is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things, services, or structures in which R.L.A [Raymond Loewy Associates] was a party during the design or planning stage."
Lowey died at the age of 92 in 1986, leaving behind a legacy quite a bit more impressive than the simple yet elegant doodle of one of his locomotive designs on Google.com today might imply. Over 25 years after his death, Loewy is no longer the household name he once was, particularly among younger generations, which has to leave me to wonder how many people will be able to tick off the major achievements of Steve Jobs in the year 2040?

In this instructable i'll tell you how to make a simple,easy to make, eco-compatible, rustic, free, made of recycled materials seedbed.
The green elements are: The fruit box and the plastic bag, because they are recycled
Step 1: Materials and tools
-Fruit box
-Plastic bag(bigger the better)
-Hydroscopic crystals*
Tools needed:
I decided to plant pepperoni
Step 2: Prepare the seedbed
I used three plastis bags, but I counsel to use only one bag, because the water go out of the seedbed when filled,if you use more of one bag.
You can cut the superfluos parts or not.
I know, it don't really look good, but it works, specially if you use a strong plastic bag.
Step 3: Fill the seedbed
1) hydroscopic cristals
(see the pictures)
The seedbed also works if you use only terrain, the most important thing is the attention that you give at the plants.

About Me Advanced, Comfort-oriented, Freestyle Skiier, Practical
These gloves are very stylish and flexible, however only practical in warmer weather. The side zipper is very convienient, and allows you to tighten the glove accordingly. The Dakine Omega gloves were completely waterproof, had good grip, and were good looking. They did lack in one important category, insulation. They are better suited for mid-temperature use, and I found were best used for freestyle skiing. However, in sub-zero temperatures, they weren't warm enough on their own.

Happy Football-Mas War Is Over (Africa…) by Stuart Roy Clarke
Let's pretend it is (over). And that widespread famine is not just around the Sahara corner. Google Earth Africa West Mali Bamako or any village in the whole darned area and you will SEE football pitches beautifully marked out as if sent down from the Gods above to ensure beautiful pasture. Last night, nudging curfew, on the bank of the River Niger, I saw the greatest game imaginable. Shades of those afternoon-into-evening games of one's youth, mother calling you 'in for tea'- shades of Walt Disney – shades of something peculiarly ecstatically African or even MALI-an. And that is why we came here, I guess.
Badala in Bamako is on the bend of the river. The usual scene : people washing their clothes, washing themselves, collecting water to irrigate their crops. Beauty and scruffy and natural and artificial and water-carried and human-discarded are all along this river bank. There, here, where I am fortunate, there are two goals, with crossbars, bound together by twine.
At 5pm EVERY night (there is no abandonment or postponement conceivable) (and the weather is much the same: hot or hotter or really hot or hot with thunderclaps as God says THATS QUITE ENOUGH HEAT) the young men of the area filter out from alleys and work places – some are gardeners – on mopeds, scooters, bikes and on foot to greet each other and then argue the team selection and the toss. A man, an elder nowadays, in a turquoise cape, wags his finger and utters lavish much-loved nonsense, mostly to the smaller boys who actually try and listen to him. Another man, with a club foot, who casts himself out of team selection, bangs the ground with a spare goalpost. Perhaps the Gods are being summoned …if you see what I am about to see, you would surely agree that they must be here.
Iman Mohammed will miss the game. Because of the conflict our humble hotel's faithful gardener and occasional security guard is having to work overtime. He is unhappy at this, only. (He NEVER misses a match).
The stage is set. The daily washing removed. The pitch is 50 metres of bumps, big humps, hollows and pools of River Niger overspill flanked on the near side by prickly bushes and a few spectators. No dogs. One team are made to go bare-chested and one player is still untangling his vest wrapped over his head when a player nutmegs him. The game is underway and it's a passing game…with some dribbling, then an uncalled for bicycle-kick, then a clutch of players jumping for …a shoe, the ball is elsewhere.
The powerful skins team are 2-0 up with barely a blink of the eye. Arguments-cum-discussions abound just as, as per always, a smallest boy is summoned to get in the water, in this case the lilac pond, to recover the ball. He is lectured about keeping his head up. And to get on with it, by a ring of Skins eager to get a third goal. A family arrives and Papa on learning that the team his end are 2-0 down urges his wife and toddlers 'to go look at the River'. He rolls up his sleeves and starts reorganising HIS team from the goalmouth going forward.
The second smallest boy, perhaps fearing that go-get-the-ball-out-of-the-water service will soon be upon him, commits a series of fantastically badly-timed tackles sending the stars and giants of the game crashing, looking up at him. Even his own captain. Had there been a referee this small boy would have walked.
Another incident – a high-speed slip on donkey dung sends the player of the most fanciful footwork and the best-dressed, clean, airborne into a murky pool. His illuminous vest is not so eye-catching now. The fightback however is on. The scores are level. Another small boy, in goals, saves a thunderous shot in his 'midrift' and with tears in his eyes completes a second reflex save. But not a third. Random t-shirts abound and when the crumpled boy eventually stands up his reveals "Tell Santa not to speak to my teacher".
Meanwhile "One Love" sets off on a dazzling run, sidestepping and skipping over all challenges, donkey dung, pieces of hose, plastic bottles, fishing nets, lost shoes, crocs (Bamako means crocodile)…to pass twice and score. 3-3. High fives. The tooth-less witch-doctor in the turquoise cape is beside himself, storming on to the pitch finger-pointing. There is so much laughter all around about everything, he won't be heard.
Now the ball is in the bramble-bushes and five players with cuts and bleeding are hacking it out mercilessly. One turns to remonstrating the idea of 'a throw-in'. Taken quickly. Leaving behind the four fighting the bush. This turns into an exquisite move – the throw to foot, a chip, a passing header and a cannonball of a volley with complete follow-through takes the net clean off (had there been one).
The light is fading, the teeth and eyes are smiling and, somewhere, mothers are silently willing their boys home not-too-long-into curfew, in joy and peace, their life-forces intact.
Footnote: Stuart Roy Clarke and his accomplice Lucinda Helen Grange travelled to Mali to photograph football and suddenly, unexpectedly, found themselves in the midst of a military coup. Unable to leave the country. The Mali Premier League was suspended. A curfew imposed. Local people whose lives were already on the edge were even more on the edge.
The two photographers with a dash to the airport under cover of the night eventually got out safely, allowed 'to go home'.

It is the school that inspired the movie "Animal House," that classic paean to fraternity hijinks. Its students are said to have invented the ubiquitous drinking game of beer pong. Last year, the college drew international attention for a former fraternity member's sensational exposé on alcohol-fueled hazing.
And yet, Dartmouth College has in the past two years become a national leader in trying to reduce binge drinking, making many changes on campus, large and small, and founding a national collaborative to share ideas among dozens of campuses.
Even more striking, students have spurred some of the innovations, such as sending sober undergraduates to monitor parties for signs of trouble, and coming this fall, banning freshmen from fraternity parties for the first six weeks of school.

Well written response as usual, Matt. I learn something every time you write. I merely meant "evolution" as a change in "flashy technique" that so many people cling to when determining the worth of a drummer (like how fast you are, for example) and how certain drummers are applying this flashy technique to today's equipment. I just remember being floored by Neil's layered parts and interdependence. Then I saw Bozzio, then Minneman, then Lang and Donati; each of them with greater interdependence and "feet=hands" technique (in my eyes, at least).
Now there can be a giant debate on how this interdependence was already done and how it really isn't music but that would be purely subjective. We could be lead through the history of music and have our hands slapped for irresponsibly slinging terms like "evolve", but the popular vote is for guys like Donati, Lang etc etc as being cutting edge in applying layered drum parts and interdependence to drum technique. The same type of stuff Neil was credited for back in the day (where so much of this "drum god" stuff probably came from in the first place).
So, I take it out of my wallet, and use it again: as drumming evolves, people will say the same negative comments about Donati (again, sorry fanboys and sorry music history buffs and WFD champions).
Give me a liter of cola.

300+ HP From MINI's New 3 Cylinder Possible According to BMW M
Sections: F54 Clubman, F55 Four-Door Hardtop, F56 Two-Door Hardtop, F60 Countryman, FXX Front Wheel Drive BMW, JCW May 4th, 2013 30 Comments
It's all theoretical of course but when asked about BMW's new 1.5L three cylinder architecture the head of BMW M was unusually candid about the possibilities. According to an interview Dr. Friedrich Nitschke gave to Car and Driver the new engine is capable of more than we initially thought. Quite a bit more. continued →

Florence was 77 years old when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She lived with her son Glenn and his wife Kathy for seven years before moving to a nursing home and then, after several years, to a specialized Alzheimer's care center. It wasn't until then that the couple realized the benefits of the expert care available in a setting specifically geared for patients with dementia. Kathy and Glenn learned some useful tips to manage Florence's cognitive limitations without upsetting her, as Kathy explained.
One approach we learned was to use "lie-lets." For example, Florence wondered why she hadn't heard from her sister, someone she was very close to. Rather than saying, "Don't you remember? Mabel died eight years ago," I simply and matter-of-factly explained that Mabel was on vacation in Florida and said she'd call as soon as she got back. This misinformation would ease Florence's anxiety and restore her equilibrium about the matter. Sometimes Florence would say that she wanted to go home. Instead of saying, "I'm sorry, you can't go home," we would tell her that we couldn't take her home that evening but would try to make arrangements to do so within the next few days. Most of the time, she'd forget her worry or request in a few hours or days. Trying to drill the truth into people with Alzheimer's is upsetting to them, and what's worse is that once they forget the truth, those upset feelings remain, but without a clear cause, which can be even more disturbing.
Before Florence went into the nursing home, we went through her old photographs and I asked who each person was and if she could remember the occasion. I made notes in the album, so Glenn and I could later recreate the scene for her. Some of the photos stuck with her — for example, a wedding cake she'd made — and it was something she would show to people with pride.
My relationship with Florence was a caring one, but often difficult even when she was healthy. When she first went into a nursing home, it was hard to accept that she'd reached a point where others could do a better job of caring for her than I could. The burden of caring for someone with dementia can take a toll, but I was surprised at the full weight of my grief when she died. In an odd way we became more attached during this very tough time.
The other advice I'd offer is to realize that sometimes, you just can't make it better. Just do the best you can to make your loved one know you're present and available.

Coach: James "Bim" Baxter
The biggest issues of the 1930 tour seemed to be the availability and injury of its key players. 100 players were invited to tour but the Lions could only manage to get 29 players on board for the tour.
This tour was captained by F. D. Prentice when Wavell Wakefield was unable to tour however, the captain's role was a little bit different in those days. The tour departed with 16 Englishmen, 7 Welshmen, 5 Irishmen, only one Scotsman and the only other member of the touring party was the manager James "Bim" Baxter.
The tour saw the Lions well beaten in the series 3-1 to New Zealand and 1-0 to Australia.

This paper examines the choice between revenue-raising and non-revenue-raising instruments for environmental protection in a second-best setting with pre-existing factor taxes. Using analytical and numerical general equilibrium models, we find that interactions with pre-existing taxes fundamentally influence the costs of regulation and seriously militate against pollution abatement policies that do not raise revenue. Indeed, if the marginal environmental benefits from pollution reductions are below a certain threshold value, then any level of pollution abatement through non-revenue-raising (NRR) policies like emissions quotas is efficiency-reducing. Under conditions roughly approximating SO2 emissions from electric power plants in the U.S., we find that under an NRR (emissions quota) policy the possibility of efficiency gains disappears if marginal environmental benefits are below $109 per ton. Moreover, imposing the "Pigouvian" (rather than second-best optimal) level of quotas can reduce welfare, even when environmental benefits are as high as $220 per ton. These results are largely independent of the size of the polluting or regulated sector relative to the overall economy.
These findings stem from two underlying effects. The tax-interaction effect is the adverse impact in factor markets arising from reductions in after-tax returns to factors (labor) associated with the higher production costs brought about by environmental regulation. In a world with prior taxes on factors, this effect leads to significantly higher costs of regulation relative to what would apply in a first-best world with no pre-existing taxes. Revenue-raising regulations (taxes) enjoy a revenue-recycling effect that offsets much of the tax-interaction effect, but non-revenue-raising regulations (quotas) enjoy no such offset. As a result, for any given target level of emission reduction, the gross efficiency costs of non-revenue-raising policies are higher than those of revenue-raising policies.
These results are relevant to government regulation outside the environmental area. To the extent that government regulations of international trade or agricultural production raise the costs of output and thereby reduce real factor returns, these regulations exacerbate the labor market distortions from pre-existing taxes and thus can involve higher social costs than would be indicated by partial equilibrium analyses.

My thoughts about this is that although you can try these steps to enhance your experience with iTunes Radio, it won't really make a great experience mainly because I believe Apple hasn't included the genius feature to this service which would make the service a lot better. Rather, pressing more like this or never, you can get very little controlling power. I have found mainly a lot of repeats and just overall buggy experiences. Adding the genius feature which the founder of Apple was so happy about would be a game changer. For starters, let's discuss the overall learning listener experience. If Apple asks users to update their library with genius at least once a week to find out what people are listening to, apple having the largest music library, it can definitely make for a better listening experience which combines the listening experiences from other users. Playlists made and how they're played can really help apple. Overall, iTunes and idevices record when people listen to a song is played and what songs comes next. Although genius hasn't worked in nearly 2 years, as you can't genius songs after 2012, it's a feature that if they can take it and reinvent it, Apple can have a killer streaming music service. When using genius with older songs, it's the best music playlist generator without a doubt.

Should service in the IDF be a criterion for judging whether someone may convert to Judaism? Sounds crazy, right? Yet in a poll appearing yesterday in Ynet, Israelis put IDF service above observance of the commandments or Jewish ancestry as a factor in deciding whether someone has become Jewish. Given the large number of former-Soviet immigrants who are not Jewish according to halakha, and are not observant but do serve in the IDF, this is a serious claim to be making.
From the standpoint of traditional Jewish law, army service means very little in the conversion process, which focuses principally on acceptance of the Torah's commandments. Yet at the same time, there is something deeper going on in this poll than simple Israeli patriotism, or the militarization of secular-Jewish identity — something that reaches deep into the Jew's historical perception of himself. The classical example of the convert in Jewish tradition is Ruth the Moabite, who famously told her Jewish mother-in-law Naomi, "Your people is my people, your God is my God." (Ruth 1:16) Ruth then married Boaz the Judean, and one of their descendants was none other than King David. Ruth's commitment was not simply religious (the belief in the God of Israel), but national as well (the belief in the Jewish people). Following this vein, for centuries rabbis would discourage converts, telling them about the horrific trials that the Jews have faced through history, and only accepting them once they had bound their faith up with that of the Jewish people.
Now that the Jewish people have a state, what greater indicator of national commitment can there be than a willingness to fight and die for one's country? Something for the rabbis, both in Israel and abroad, to ponder.

We waited an hour and a half for delivery after repeatedly being assured it would be "a couple of minutes". I have no idea how good or disappointing their food is, but this is a very poorly run operation.
Posted by GeeGee on 10/26/2012
I ordered this for a corporate event and the food was really excellent, and I have always been apprehensive re: Indian cuisine. Although, ordering large portions is risky here cause they will overestimate and your bill will be extremely high. Also, if you have a time limit, order VERY early. They ran a little over and were a tad late, but it was a lot of food. Other than that, GREAT and delicious Indian cuisine.
Posted by anonymous on 09/07/2011
tasty food, but poor customer service!! they charged me more than the prices that were listed online. plus the delivery took over 2 hours! ridiculous.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/12/2011
I've been coming here for a few years now, and it's always a great lunch place. It's indian, so it will be greasy, but it has a great selection and it is delicious. They usually have two desserts, so it's hard to pic. This is not the "best" indian restaurant in the city, but it is a really good one. They also can do catering for 15 or more people and they include a lot of food. One of our favorite catering places.
Posted by dissatisfied on 03/30/2011
I was given a $30 buywithme coupon as a gift and ended up spending $74 in food and drink on lunch. However, before deducting the coupon, which they forgot to do even though I presented it before ordering, they charged the tax and an 18% service charge, basically ripping me off for $8.12. I think it was really ballsy to charge a service fee on a party of 2 diners. In addition, they didn't let you order the buffet, which is clearly what every other diner was having, when using the $30 coupon and their lunch prices would make for an expensive dinner menu at any Indian restaurant in the City - and we were having lunch. The tables are too close together The service was slow, especially in the beginning while we patiently awaited menus, and there was no reason to forget about the voucher. I only gave them a 1 because of the check calculation rip-off - other than that the service was ok. The food was adequate but very fattening and without a lot of flavor. I don't think a return visit is in my future.

I don't know a lot about Indian food. I tend to order the same thing every time. On the night I dined at Salaam Bombay, I decided to try a prawns special, and it was very good. I don't know if it was authentic Indian food, and I will admit that the shrimp was slightly overcooked; but the sauce was out of this world ,as was the garlic bread we ordered. That, with the rice and the complimentary sauces, made for a delicious meal. My husband ordered off the menu, and the service could not have been more accomodating. Our meal was paced perfectly, and the staff was delightful. I look forward to going again to try other new Indian selections!
Posted by MKSR30 on 07/10/2010
Truly excellent Indian food and great service. You won't be disappointed.

Minor hockey teams raise funds for murder victim's family
The Pee Wee Tier 3 Cranbrook Ice team raised $263.50 this weekend in a progressive 50/50 fundraiser that will be donated to a trust fund of a family in the Lower Mainland. Minor hockey associations across the province have been raising money for the family of Julie Paskall, a hockey mom who was killed outside an arena in Newton earlier this month. A parent of one of the players on the local team heard of the trust fund and decided to organize a fundraiser at a four-team home tournament this weekend. The Pee Wee Ice will be doing another fundraiser for the same cause during another tournament on Jan. 25-26 at the Memorial Arena.

Muncie, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Behind Spencer Parker's game-high 22 points, the Bowling Green Falcons held off the Ball State Cardinals, 66-64, in a Mid- American Conference bout at Worthen Arena.
Parker shot 9-of-14 from the field and 4-of-5 at the foul line for BGSU (11-14, 5-7 MAC), which snapped a three-game losing streak. Richaun Holmes tallied a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, Jehvon Clarke logged 11 points and seven assists and Cameron Black contributed eight points and 12 rebounds.
For Ball State (4-19, 1-11), losers of seven in a row, Jesse Berry scored 20 points on 6-of-9 from 3-point range, Chris Bond and Franko House each scored 13 points and Majok Majok registered nine points and 15 boards.
BGSU outshot Ball State from the field in the first half, 47.2 percent to 33.3 percent, as it went into intermission with a 36-32 lead.
The Cardinals turned things around in the second stanza, and following an 11-3 run, they held a 55-50 lead with under seven minutes to play. They continued to lead in the final minute before Anthony Henderson connected on the game- winning layup for the Falcons with 44 seconds left. After BGSU had a 1-of-2 trip to the foul line with four seconds to play, Ball State had one last opportunity but Zavier Turner's jumper at the buzzer did not fall.
Ball State committed 16 turnovers, which BGSU converted into 18 points.

I'm reading through the latest digital edition of Game Developer Magazine which contains their annual survey. The salary numbers overall weren't concerning to me, until I scrolled down and saw the differences between the male and female survey respondents. The next time someone tells me that men and women get paid equally for their talents in the game industry, I wanted something to link to them. This is just plain disgusting.
This isn't so bad right? Female programmers are currently making 4.5% more annually than male programmers. However, considering they only make up 4% of the entire field of programmers in the game industry, companies are probably paying them more to retain them. I'm glad to see the few lady programmers we have in games aren't underpaid.
However, expect things to get more grim.
Male artists make 29% more per year than female artists in the game industry. Women represent 16% of the game industry's artists, which is sadly a pretty decent number.
Male game designers make 23.6% more annually than female game designers, and men comprise 89% of the game industry's designers.
The producer field doesn't look so terrible. It has the highest percentage of female representation at 23%. Women still are underpaid compared to men though: 8.3% less.
Audio development is completely dominated by men. 96% of audio developers are male, and they make a whopping 65% more than women.
It's starting to get a big redundant, but here you can see that men make 24.9% more than women per year in QA.
Finally, in business and legal we see that men make 31% more than women. This is a broad field that includes Community Management, CEOs, HR, IT, and admin. I suspect part of this discrepancy in wage is that HR, admin, and community management have a lot of female representation anecdotally while upper management is dominated by men at most game companies.
I'm sure there are more details that might make these numbers less damning. For example, we all know that games have been long dominated by men and the industry is taking small steps to change that. As a result, many of the women who answered the survey might be new to the game industry, might not be in as senior of roles as the men who responded. However, I don't think this changes the fact that we need to recruit and encourage more women at all levels of every organization — and we're failing to do so.
Leadership: look at your organization. Compare the salaries of the women to the men who work at your company, and align their salaries. If all of your women are junior, evaluate them. How long have they been junior? Are they deserving of an increase in role, capabilities, and salary? If you don't have many women in various departments, recruit them. Make an effort to keep your space positive and encouraging for women. Consider that raising women up in your company means for more mentors in our industry for the young women who might be interested in working in games. These numbers are disgusting and we see them year after year. Who is out there working to change it? Every studio should be proactive in solving this, because with numbers like these — why would women want to work in games?

Press release from Business Wire
Chimera Investment Corporation Announces 4th Quarter 2012 Dividend of $0.09 per Share; Dividend Distribution Tax Information; Change to Management Fee
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Chimera Investment Corporation Announces 4th Quarter 2012 Dividend of $0.09 per Share; Dividend Distribution Tax Information; Change to Management Fee17:11 EST Wednesday, November 28, 2012 NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- The Board of Directors of Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) declared the fourth quarter 2012 common stock cash dividend of $0.09 per common share. This dividend is payable January 25, 2013, to common shareholders of record on December 31, 2012. The ex-dividend date is December 27, 2012. As previously announced, the Company initiated a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share for each of the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2012, portions of which may be ordinary income, capital gains or a return of capital. The Board of Directors has reviewed this program and has decided to maintain a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share for each of the first quarter and second quarter of 2013. The Board of Directors will review this program after the conclusion of the second quarter of 2013. For the first three quarters of 2012, Chimera has paid cash dividends totaling $0.29 per common share. Of this amount, $0.06 is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes, although this estimate will not be finalized until the Company files its 2012 tax return. The independent members of the Board of Directors also announced that they have agreed with the Company's manager, Fixed Income Discount Advisory Company, to reduce the management fee to 0.75% from 1.50% per annum. The reduction is effective as of November 28, 2012, and will remain in effect until the Company is current on all of its filings required under applicable securities laws. The Company had previously announced that it would delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2012. The Company announced that its previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and for all subsequent quarters through the quarter ended September 30, 2011, will be restated and can no longer be relied upon. The restatement is not expected to affect the Company's previously announced GAAP or economic book values, actual cash flows, dividends and taxable income for any previous period. The Company is currently unable to estimate the timing for filing its 2011 Form 10-K, and expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, within 60 days after it files its 2011 Form 10-K and any subsequent unfiled Quarterly Reports will be filed as soon as practicable. Chimera Investment Corporation invests in residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage-backed securities, real estate-related securities and various other asset classes. The Company's principal business objective is to generate income from the spread between yields on its investments and its cost of borrowing and hedging activities. The Company is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause the Company's actual results, as well as the Company's expectations regarding materiality or significance, the restatement's quantitative effects, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the filing of the Company's untimely SEC reports, to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the risk that additional information may arise from the preparation of the Company's restated consolidated financial statements and that the Company's internal control over financial reporting may be inadequate or have weaknesses of which the Company is not currently aware or which have not been detected. The Company does not undertake to update the forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of a variety of risk factors affecting the Company's business and prospects, see "Item 1A — Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "2010 10-K"), as supplemented by the reports the Company has filed since the 2010 10-K.

We all experience a variety of moods such as happiness, sadness, and anger. Unpleasant moods and changes in mood are normal reactions in everyday life, and we can often identify the events that caused our mood to change. However, when we experience extreme mood changes that affect how we behave and function, these changes are often the result of a mood disorder.
Bipolar disorder (formerly known as manic-depressive disorder) is a mood disorder that consists of periods of extremely elevated mood (mania), extremely low mood (depression), and normal mood.
Bipolar disorder typically begins for people during adolescence and early adulthood. It is unusual for bipolar disorder to begin in childhood without strong familial risk factors, and it is rare for its onset to occur after the age of 60 (unless it is associated with another medical condition). Bipolar disorder occurs in about 2% of the adult population, and men and women are affected equally.
There is no single, proven cause of bipolar disorder, but research suggests that it is the result of abnormalities in the way some nerve cells in the brain function or communicate. Researchers also believe that there is a definite genetic link (family history) in which there is a higher risk for people who have a parent or full sibling (i.e., a first-degree relative) with bipolar disorder.
Whatever the precise nature of the cause of bipolar disorder, it clearly makes people with the disorder more vulnerable to emotional and physical stresses. As a result, upsetting life experiences, alcohol, illicit drug use, lack of sleep, or other stresses can trigger episodes of illness, even though these stresses do not actually cause the disorder.
Bipolar disorder is not the fault of the person suffering from it and is not the result of a "weak" or unstable personality. Rather, bipolar disorder is a treatable medical condition.

Re: Your Favorite Alcohol High
Pale ales and IPA's are my absolute favorite. Currently I would have to say that Stone IPA and Little Sumpin' Sumpin' are at the top of my charts. But for most normal days, I buy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at Walmart. Tastes great and not too expensive.
Second choice is liquor. I like bourbon on the rocks (JD or Woodford Reserve) and quality tequila, neat - Don Julio 1942 is good, as is Classe Azul. In a pinch, Cuervo Tradicional is acceptable when chilled in the freezer.
I also really like red wine, and when I say red wine, I mean cabernet sauvignon. I try to stick to the Napa Valley wines. There are soooo many choices when it comes to wine - I restrict myself to that particular region just so that I can develop enough breadth of experience to be able to make a more intelligent selection. For example, I know that I like cabs from Mt. Veeder from 2009, because I've had a couple different ones that I thought were very good. So if I see one on a wine list somewhere, I can be reasonably sure that it will be of similar quality.

like it, but too short in back
I liked it. I've wanted this for a year since I saw it on another woman at the beach. Very sophisticated. Unfortunately I am sending it back. It's too short in the back. I'm 5"9" and it comes only to mid-point of my swimsuit bottom. It was a size small. Bigger size was sold out. When the hubby says the back looks funny, you have to go with it.
I did catch my fingers in the cut-outs at the bottom when trying it on. I think you could probably tear these if you weren't careful because it is thin material. Loved the look. Wish I could have kept it.
