Some good ideas for 2009Written by Maggie Thurber | Toledo Free Press Writer | firstname.lastname@example.com
Good ideas to implement for 2009:
Transparency in government: Government is best when the decisions and budgets are transparent to the public. Ohio has laws to ensure that public meetings are, indeed, open to the public. We also have laws to ensure that elected officials cannot make decisions outside of those public meetings – though we know there are ways around such requirements that while not violating the actual law do violate the intent.
The more transparent we can make government, the more accountability we can have over what is done and how. Minutes of meetings are available, though rarely are they loaded on to a website for listening to or downloading later. The Toledo Public School Board is finally steaming their meetings live – a year after former school board candidate Chris Myers tried to do so. But it is a start.
Additionally, exposing the spending of local governmental bodies, by publishing each entity's check register on line for all to see, would increase accountability. If the City of Toledo had to publish every check written, we probably would have known much sooner about Mayor Carty Finkbeiner's multiple 'under $10,000′ expenditures on the Erie Street Market – maybe early enough to prevent some of them.
Knowing what our government is spending money on – and how much – might present opportunities for savings, as citizens become aware of what is being purchased and how much is being paid. By allowing any citizen to dig through an actual check registry to keep an eye on government spending, they're likely to find more room for efficiency.
Another way to increase transparency is to do what many other governments are doing: create a simple searchable budget database for citizens. The website would allow us to search revenues, expenditures, grants, vendor contracts and most other government business. By allowing businesses to search this database of government contracts, interested vendors will have a better chance at offering competitive bids, saving money.
The site also could eliminate the need for journalists, watchdog groups and curious citizens to file public records requests that can be time-consuming and burdensome to both citizens and government officials. Instead, the information would all be readily available.
In Texas, Comptroller Susan Combs has converted the state's massive budget into a user-friendly and comprehensive site called "Where the Money Goes." She said website cost the state $310,000 to develop, but, so far, citizens have saved Texas government $2.3 million in her agency alone.
In these difficult economic times – and even during good financial conditions – saving taxpayer dollars and using them more efficiently for mandated services should be the primary focus of government and there's no reason not to make this public information available to the public in a manner that will make it easier to monitor what our governments are doing.
The Buckeye Institute has a 'sunshine' website, www.ohiosunshine.org, which is an editable wiki tracking all kinds of government activity. Their logo is 11 million pairs of eyes ensuring good government in Ohio. It should be easy for our local governments to do the same thing.
Public meeting times: Most of the public meetings of our local governments are held during the day when most of us are working. While city council members hold district meetings in the evening and the County Commissioners periodically take their meetings 'on the road,' most public meetings are not held at a time conducive to public participation. Government officials will say that the cost of having public employees at meeting outside the normal work time is cost prohibitive. However, that could be easily addressed by having required personnel come in later on days they are required to be at a public meeting.
In order to be most effective, though, such changes in scheduled meeting times would have to apply to committee meetings as well as the formal business meeting, since that's where a significant portion of the work is often done.
Public participation: We should all make an effort to be more involved in local governmental decisions. While some people regularly contact their elected officials, others never do. Elected officials work for us and, just like any boss, we need to monitor their work and provide feedback and direction. This includes correction when they make a mistake and praise when they make good decisions on our behalf.
While we are all busy in our everyday lives, the best way we can help our community move forward to take an active role in the decisions that impact us in every way.

Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks: Watch Live TV Stream Online For Free; Preview
Curry sat out last time against the Mavericks, but has a chance to play big this time. (Photo: Reuters)
The Golden State Warriors will visit the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. The game will be broadcast live at 8:30 p.m. ET and can be seen via live TV stream online for free here.
The Mavericks, who are 4-1 at home this season, are seeking their 11th victory in the last 12 home matchups with the Warriors, including the postseason. They also average 107.6 points per game at home -- the second-best average in the NBA after the Miami Heat's 116.5 points per game. Overall, the Mavericks have won eight of the last 10 matchups, including the most recent 104-94 home victory on April 20 when Vince Carter scored 19 points and an injured Stephen Curry sat out.
Follow Us :
The Mavericks winning at home could be the start of a little streak after they ended a four-game road losing streak with a 103-95 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, getting 19 points from O.J. Mayo and 15 points and eight rebounds from Chris Kaman. They also overcame 22 turnovers and shot 58.8 percent in the fourth quarter.
Shawn Marion had 10 points and 10 rebounds while Vince Carter and Darren Collison each added 14 points.
The Warriors are coming off a 119-109 loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday after posting back-to-back wins against the Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves. Against the Thunder, they tied a season low for turnovers, but showed signs of slowness in transition after they were outscored on the break 26-12, which led to easy three-point field goals and uncontested dunks.
Curry, who will be playing this time around against the Mavericks, scored 22 points and David Lee added 19 points and 10 rebounds. It was against the Thunder that the Warriors shot a season-best 52.4 percent and outscored the Thunder 58-32 in the paint.
Rookie Harrison Barnes, who is averaging 16.3 points while shooting 51.4 percent over his last three games, shot 5 of 11 and scored 12 points. He may have to have a bigger game, maybe starting with the Mavericks, if the Warriors hope to do better than .500 basketball.

Are there any good tips on how to control this game?
I like making snow angels in the rain.
It's tough to give any tips regarding "control." My best advice would be to play it and play it and play it. Eventually, you will become quite comfortable with it. It does take time as I remember. Good luck!
Post provided "as is," and confers no rights
Xbox Feedback!
Here are some tips and tricks to help you lesser snow gods out.....possibly this post will be updated once and awile
- What is the easiest way to beat a RAIL MEDIA CALLOUT?
Get on the rail as soon as you can, and tap them buttons as fast as you can in different combos, try to do 1 or 2 flips on the rail early (longer rails) to get 1.2 multiplier after 2 flips on the rail, and 1.5 once you jump off.....
- How do you get so many points?
Mainly stylish tricks linked together. You dont always need to butter to maintain your combo and that is crucial.Spins and flips suck for points, always do off axis tricks when going for maximum points. Shoulder button tricks work well if you figure out t he right trick to do off certain sizes of jumps.
- Do you need to build park objects for massive score?
No. Most of the Snowquest challenges are good lines to get combos on....you dont need to build anything extra to get a lot of points...
- What does the purple/yellow colors on my score mean?
Learn to be able to read this, if your score is yellow and u try to do another trick ur combo will end. Keep an eye on this.
- Do kitty challenges
These will teach you how to follow a certain line. If you can do an ok combo on a kitty challenge you should be able to get really good combos elsewhere.
- Take risks
You can always do the combo over again, try some risky lines or tricks to push ur luck and push ur score higher.
- Learn to drop a low scoring but high multiplier combo but quickly get into another combo after to maintain your multiplier. your balance will be reset, you'll have a high multiplier and if there are big jumps it will be easy to get mega points.
- carve early in a combo (if possible) to get a bit of multiplier and to maintain your butter balance for later
- always do another flip or spin or aerial right away landing to get another full multiplier
Thx for the tips!

By Elaine SanchezAmerican Forces Press Service
CHICAGO, April 27, 2011 The Defense Department is working to expand and integrate its network of military and civilian helping professionals to ensure military families receive the support and care they need for years to come, the DOD official who oversees family programs said here today.
"History has shown that by combining our resources, we can meet any challenge, in any circumstance. … It's our greatest strength," Robert L. Gordon III, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military community and family policy, said.
Gordon touched on the importance of collaboration in military family support during his remarks to nearly 2,000 family-support specialists attending the opening session of the 2011 Family Resilience Conference, hosted by the Defense and Agriculture departments.
The joint conference is fitting, Gordon noted, since the Defense and Agriculture departments share a common goal of improving the health and well-being of "those we serve."
"Our coordinated efforts are important not only to our military families, but to all citizens in our local communities," he said.
Promoting the well-being of military families is more important now, in these "unprecedented, challenging times," than ever before, Gordon said.
"In the past few weeks alone, our military communities have experienced natural disasters –- earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, blizzards, floods and tornadoes," he said. "Add to this the nature of military living, current fiscal concerns and the everyday realities of life.
"I am absolutely confident that together we will support, serve and strengthen our military families," he continued, "not only to navigate the unique aspects of military life, but also to thrive in the wake of life's uncertainties."
Gordon said Americans can learn a great deal from military families. In a recent blog post, he asked military spouses what they wanted potential employers to know about them and received this response: "We have a deep pride in being military spouses and being the support behind our service member. [With] every challenge that we face, we become better and stronger through it."
"How can we take that type of resilience and translate it for use by other vulnerable populations?" Gordon said. "How can we capture, develop and advance the ability to overcome adversity and to thrive?"
These are just some of the questions the conference participants can address this week, he said, expressing his confidence in the potential results.
"The answers to the problems we face are in this room and in our communities," Gordon said.

The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
When we who are out here have no jobs, we see to ways that come from afar! If I could do one thing Gordon, is to offer my hands and my being to help those disadvantaged and not withini the community because there is no place to help those who become complacent and those who look with bias eyes to see.
I have served our nation, and now I look to pack my bags and go where I am needed.
Will the charities support my helping women in need. Helping children who need love when mother and father are struggling to work? Sometime we must leave our community to help those who can not find another, and they are more precious than fighting with thy brother. The reason I say this is because when we serve, we find that we have to step out of our community and take on much more than is words. We take on asks of giving, to be there. We remove ourself from our egos and judge only what we can do. That says allot in my book.

Ther term tracking is applied to various domains of computer science like online tracking, video tracking, etc.
Online tracking or web tracking refers to the act of monitoring user events and is majorly accompanied with a statistic or analytic tool to take out inferences from the gathered user data based on users' online behaviour. For example - Google Analytics is a tool by Google Inc. that keeps track of all the traffic that comes to a website.
Video tracking is the process of locating a moving object (or multiple objects) over time using a camera. It has a variety of uses, some of which are: human-computer interaction, security and surveillance, video communication and compression, augmented reality, traffic control, medical imaging1 and video editing.2[3] Video tracking can be a time consuming process due to the amount of data that is contained in video. Adding further to the complexity is the possible need to use object recognition techniques for tracking.

Quite nice
I am usually a climb-without-a-helmet kind of guy...but when I almost got beaned by a dropped cam at a belay earlier this fall, I decided to just give in and buy a helmet. I am really impressed with the light weight of the Skywalker, and its excellent ventilation properties. Not to mention the blue looks SWEET! I plan on using it for ice and rock...and for when the apres-climbing partying gets out of hand! All for an amazing price, too

How to disable iMessage alerts for people that aren't in your contacts
That is a good one. Now after seeing this option I feel like "How did I miss that! Duh!" Thank you for sharing the sometimes overlooked settings/options!
Hmm.. Was this introduced in a recent update? I don't recall seeing that. Nice feature to have though.
Hmm..That's amazing. I didn't even know this existed. This is a great way to combat spam about those occasional amazing trips on a cruise. The more control, the better.
Yet another thing that imore has taught me. This is actually very helpful, too! Thanks guys.
Good one....
Good how to article. I wish it could have included an option or an alternative for blacklisting number. Where I live that is a very important feature because of extorsion issues
Great suggestion and tool.
Thanks for this tidbit! For anyone that hasn't seen it, lifehacker published an article on a jailbreak tweak I noticed in Cydia the other day that allows you to select the contacts in your list that you do / don't (my girlfriend) want read receipts for.
This is helpful.
Didn't know this option existed. Awesome
THANK YOU!!! I have been wishing for this for so long! It's as annoying as being notified on Facebook when that random person also comments on something you now regret commenting on.
I didn't know about this one, thanks! Lets hope to see this for text messages as well in the future.
Great tip! Thanks!
Great tip guys, I love that you do this rather than just news etc.
Really helpful! I love learning about new ways to reduce things that clutter up my screen without losing the stuff I do want to see. I wish too that it work on texts too.

Mandy Tams The Golden Girl
Ruby red lips, but lips not kissed by the wine
The warmth of your kisses, better than the vine
Cool and smooth not from Crème Brule
It's between soft sheets where together they lay
Passion that burns no heating required
Growing to love you, your words love inspired
Lovers entwined as one body and mind
Love that comes late, but still there to find
Fingers exploring the wonder of another's skin
Burning finger tips round a face, down a chin
Traveling down, breaths held, hearts skip a beat
Tongues battle for supremacy, kisses hot and sweet.
Tongues moist and hot, nipples standing firm
Awaiting the entry for which they both yearn
Passion explodes in blessed release
A feeling to capture, relaxing in peace.

Why Buyer Insights?
The ASG Group helps B2B sales teams to prevent and un-lock stalled deals using the latest research into how buyers buy.
Here are some FAQs on Buyer Insights- click on the arrow to see the answers.
[expand title="Why Buyer Insights??"]
Buyer Insights started off as Seller Insights in 2007, with a small section on what buyers want. However, it was the area that proved to be the most exciting, both for our customers and for ourselves.
In 2010 we stropped writing sales tips from the traditional sellers perspective (felling that that was pretty well covered in the marketplace) and focused all our research on the buyer perspective. In particular, how today's more sophisticated buyers want to be sold to.
[expand title="What's The Philosophy?"]
We are driven to share the perspective of the modern buyer with the sales professional – so that both parties can benefit. The objective is to help sellers to adjust to the revolution in modern buying.
Although Buyer Insights is written for sellers, it has a growing readership among buyers too. That is great because a deeper mutual understanding between the two parties is also our aim.
[expand title="Why Is It Different?"]
Buyer Insights is fundamentally challenging. Every article is based on the new realities of buying, many of which can present significant challenges for sellers. For the seller that is prepared it can also present opportunities.
- The balance of power has shifted between buyer and seller. In these low growth time more suppliers are chasing fewer customers.
- Buying is under greater control and scrutiny than ever before. Those mangers wishing to spend their company's money now have procedures, policies and processes to follow.
- Procurement is increasingly powerful, with more committees, more paperwork and more approvals required. There are also more projects and purchases competing for a smaller budget.
- Added to that buyers have access to much more information, and are no longer dependent on sellers as a source of information. The result is that they are calling on sellers much later in the buying cycle.
[expand title="What's An Insight?"]
We love statistics, but we aim for more. We want to share insights. To solve problems. To shed new light.
Here's the dictionary definition of an insight: '…sheds light on or helps solve a problem.'
[expand title="How's It Written?"]
Buyer Insights is not written by academics, although Ray and John both hold First Class Masters Business Degrees. Its writing style is conversational and easy to read.
While you will find references to surveys and publications, the aim is to provide an insight that can be quickly translated into action in the sales cycle.
We recognise that there are subtleties and nuances to every subject and that for every topic there are any number of positions that could be adopted. Our objective is to take the view that for the majority of readers is likely to have the greatest meaning/impact. We trust the reader to then tailor and apply to the specifics of their customer base and industry.
You may not agree with everything you read on Buyer Insights. But it will challenge you. If it provokes and to compels then we believe our job is done.
[expand title="What's The Research Behind It?"]
The insights are based on research with buyers in large organisations globally. This research includes:
- Survey research with buyers and in particular in depth or qualitative research
- Analysis of procurement policy and practices in large organisations
- The ongoing review of procurement sites and publications
- Attendance / participation at major procurement events.
[expand title="What's The Scope of The Research?"]
The insights found on Buyer Insights relate exclusively to the complex B2B sale. That is where the cost of sales is high and sales cycle takes many months – that is where there are many steps and people involved in the buying process.[/expand]
[expand title="What Sectors Are Covered?"]Our research into trends in buying that impact on selling, covers best practice in procurement and supply chain management in respect of: Pharmaceutical, ICT and Services Industries.[/expand]
[expand title="What Companies Are Studied?"]
We track best practice in terms of procurement and supply chain management – with a focus in particular on the trends that will eventually be adopted industry-wide.
Approx. 70% of the organizations we research belong to the Fortune 1000.[/expand]
[expand title="How To Access More Of The Research?"]
Looking for research into buying trends in your particular industry / sector? Want to tackle a specific sales challenge in relation to how your customer buy?
Buyer Insights presents only a small proportion of the research undertaken by The ASG Group.
If you would like to find out more please contact us.
[expand title="Want To Syndicate, or Share Links?"]If you would like to share our content with your customers/audience, or to share links please contact us.[/expand]
[expand title="Who Publishes Buyer Insights?"]Buyer Insights is powered by The ASG Group – leaders in selling to the professional buyer. It is edited by the company's Buyer Research Practice.[/expand]
[expand title="Want To See Our Terms & Conditions?"]
Buyer Insights is designed to provide useful information. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided, it is the reader's responsibility to discern what information is relevant to their business and to validate any strategies before their implementation. The Authors cannot be held responsible for any losses. With that in mind here is the legal stuff:
You assume full responsibility for use of material produced by The ASG Group. The ASG Group shall not be liable for, (i) your use and application of Buyer Insights or related materials, (ii) its adequacy, accuracy, interpretation or usefulness, and (iii) the results or information developed from your use or application of it.
You waive any claim or rights of recourse on account of claims against the Stipulated Parties either in your own right, or on account of claims against the Stipulated Parties by third parties. You shall indemnify and hold the Stipulated Parties harmless against any claims, liabilities, demands or suits of third parties.
The foregoing waiver and indemnity shall apply to any claims, rights of recourse, liability, demand, or suit for personal injury, property damage, or any other damage, loss or liability, directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from or in any way connected with the tools, or the use, application, adequacy, accuracy, interpretation, usefulness, or management of the tools, or the results or information developed from its use, and whether based on contract obligation, tort liability (including negligence) or otherwise.
In no event will The ASG Group be liable for any lost profits or other consequential damages, or for any claim against you by a third party, even if one or more of The ASG Group has been advised of the possibility of such damages.[/expand]

WORCESTER, Mass. - On Tuesday, March 13, the Holy Cross men's hockey team played the East Coast Jumbos at the Hart Center. Go here to view a photo gallery from the game.
The East Coast Jumbos is a team for mentally challenged boys ranging 8-24 years old. This program was created by Ray LeBlanc when he realized that two of his sons were able to play hockey, when his other son was being dragged to these games because there were no hockey teams for mentally challenged boys. With the desire to create a team his son could play on Ray enlisted the help of his friend Jim Perry, whose son is also on the team, and together they created the East Coast Jumbos. The team started off small and just held practices to teach the boys to skate, but soon it grew and many of them now attend tournament games like the one at Holy Cross.
The Jumbos practice and attend tournaments like any other team and they show extreme dedication and perseverance when they step onto the ice. This team has taken on the Worcester Sharks and played at the TD BankNorth Garden. One of their most recent feats was playing at Frozen Fenway. The Jumbos players have extreme heart and a love for the game. This team provides these boys with great friends and an amazing sport that they can be proud to play.

"I don't know what we would have done without Jacque to hold our hands through our first DCAA Accounting Systems Audit. We knew she had set us up properly but without her there to interface to DCAA for us, we might have failed due to our inexperience with DCAA jargon!"
"We struggled with our accounting system for so long; thinking it was supposed to be a mystery. Then Jacque came and showed us how to set things up and taught us why and now everything makes sense! It's not supposed to be a mystery!"
"The best money we ever spent. Wish we would have had Jacque on our team before we ever got our first contract rather than waiting until we got in trouble with DCAA!"

(VAN NUYS, CA) -- Digital Playground proudly presents the video trailer for Island Fever II, an artistic, passionate and beautiful montage featuring Tera Patrick and Devon in the most sensual performances of their careers. Directed by Digital Playground's acclaimed and multi-award winning, Joone, Island Fever II was filmed on location in the Hawaiian Islands and includes bonus footage of Stormy.
The trailer can be viewed and downloaded now at DigitalPlayground.com/mov/island2.html Digital Playground is offering this state of the art preview and covering all bandwidth completely Free of Charge to all distributor, retailer, affiliate and fan websites, in coordination with the April 7th release date of Island Fever II. If you have any questions regarding the download process, please contact email@example.com.
Directed and photographed by Joone, Island Fever II immerses you in a paradise where all your senses reach new erotic heights. Filmed entirely in the Hawaiian Islands, this breathtaking movie captures Tera Patrick, Devon and Stormy in their purest and most natural highly sexual states, showcasing pure, raw passion set in one of the world's most exotic, undiscovered locations.
Digital Playground President Samantha Lewis says, "My partner Joone has visions that redefine erotica; Island Fever II raises the bar." Joone concurs, "Island Fever II was a tougher shoot then the first film. We shot at very remote locations that have never been photographed before. The secluded gardens and beaches encouraged intensely intimate encounters among the cast resulting in the most erotic performances I've ever witnessed. Tera exudes raw sexuality without restraint."
In 2001, the original Island Fever received two of the industries most demanded titles, AVN's "Best Renting Tape" and Adult DVD Empire's "Best Selling DVD." the same year, Island Fever received trophies for "Best Editing" and "Best Video Quality." it was later named "Best DVD" by both AFW and Nightmoves and Empire declared it "Best All sex DVD." AVN Publisher, Paul Fishbein writes, "Island Fever is the first title to stay on AVN's Top selling DVD charts for a year. It continues to sell month after month in both traditional retail stores and through 0n-line DVD sales." Adult DVD Empire concurs, "Digital Playground's Island Fever is one of a few anomalies in the adult film world. Rather than sink into obscurity like most releases, Joone has produced an adult film that continues to dominate the market--even after a year and a half of sales Island Fever remains a constant in our Top 10 List."
Digital Playground, the filmmaker's company, combines award-winning stars with award-winning directors and a state of the art special effects team.

Awesome food
The venue is very bustling & amongst the busy khao galli. The crowd is a mixed bag gujju majority. Ghatkopar is famous because of this outlet. Sitting area is devided in to many section made of small shops.here Pav Bhaji is among the best and it deserves the wait. The pav is drenched in butter and for people who don't care about calories is a buttery heaven.Service is quick and quantity is good if you do have appetite left you can try there South Indian fair and frankie.

Ghatkopar's Best Food Joint
Hello people! Being a resident of Ghatkopar and a Gujju, i believe Achija is the king of Mumbai you can say. They serve worlds best pav bhaji ever.
Also to add to it, there's the PAV SANDWHICH.
If you are a Chinese food lover like me do try the TRIPLE SCHEZWAN RICE which is just out of the world.
Don't forget to eat their Cheese Tawa Pulav & Royal Falooda

Best Pav bhaji
Achija is famous for its pav bhaji. The most crowded place in ghatkopar is achija. It is also open till late in the night aprox 1-2 am. Achija pavbhaji is soo yummy that it is to die for. There is always a huge line outside to get a table. The pav bhaji is full of butter. The cheese pav bhaji is even better. Also you can try the garlic cheese roll. It is like cheese garlik bread but softer. The watermelon blossom is also very good. My friends had the biryani and they say it was also too good, even though i haven't eaten it.

Unbeatable Pav Bhaji..Very tasty
The word "Achija" in Kutchhi means Plz come.. is a place well know for Pav Bhaji since many years...
I regularly go to this place to have Pav Bhaji, Milk Shakes, Shev Puri and so on..
Pav Bhaji and bread has lot of Amul Butter at by the time you finish your plate.. Your fingers are full of Butter.. One should definitely try "Kadak Pav" .. Also burgers and Shev Puri are delicious...
The Best Place to have food in Central Suburb..
Price is reasonable and Quality is fabulous..

Keep coming for Pav bhaji!
Achija is a Kutchi word that is used when people part, not with a Good bye, but with the positive intent of meeting again. It literally translates to Come back soon. And indeed, this Achija at Ghatkopar has been welcoming customers so well now that it has transformed from a simple road side stall to a crowded restaurant.
Pav Bhaji is what Achija has always been known for. It is nice no doubt, good quantity with masala onions and all, but somehow I always found it a bit over rated. They have sandwiches, pizzas, Chinese, dosas and the usual jazz which are just about average. Somehow, the pav bhaji's taste and flavours have always remained consistent as opposed to the other dishes. If today you find their sandwich wonderful, may be tomorrow you wont. The prices are quite steep for a roadside restaurant and not really worth it. My friend recently had their Chocolate Milk shake which was priced at a shocking Rs.170!! However, the crowds seem to love the place and the rush during weekends is to be seen to be believed. Since, they have another sitting area right across the road, it is a normal thing to see the staff moving around the place, using walkie talkies and discussing the availability of seats in either area, thus making sure that each empty seat is filled immediately. The main person managing the show is really polite and also quite well known amongst the regulars there. These guys sure have a lot of patience to manage the crazy hungry crowd, especially on weekends. Appreciate the efforts!
Acchija has been every Ghatkoparians pride since years now and I believe that it is their welcoming attitude which makes its customers visit there again and again.

One of the beast places in Central Suburbs to eat
The best part about this place is that it remains open till 1.30 am which is good for bachelors like us. You just cant afford to miss the Cheese Pav Bhaji and Masala Grill Papad (unique offering). The food is brilliant but ambiance is not. I feel the pricing is also slightly on the higher side but who cares when you are hungry at 1 am. Mostly during the evenings its crowded so better go late. Try avoiding Idlis and Dosas which are below par.

Best Pavbhaji in town!
Achija is one thing every ghatkoparite is proud about! Hungry at 1 in the night and you are around ghatkopar achija is the place to be at. Undoubtedly can be termed as Mumbai's best pav bhaji selling place. The pav served with the bhaji is less cooked in butter than dipped in it. They are famous for their masala grill papad which is unique offering. Its a place where you would want to go when your hungry and dont care about the water sipping into the hotel during monsoons. The boss over there is very courteous and personally tries to give you a table.
The problem at achija is their pricing. They have pav bhaji costing at 120-130 bucks and the extra pav at 20 bucks. But when its 1 in the night and all u need is food achija is the right place.
July 30,2013
Worst food now
My goodness!...what a pav bhaji....a mess! Full on Red in color is fine, but the spiciness, oh God! It was so spicy that with a few bites I stopped. I gave this one to someone else. Even if someone pays me to have it I shall think 100 times before have this pav bhaji.
Also charging rs 10 per pav. I get cheaper in Amar. This place has surpassed the heights of over-ratedness. AVOID!

Being an ghatkopar resident it won't justify if i don't stand with the brand name 'ACHIJA' for its service and taste...
But one thing would like to bring under notice that the hygine level maintained and actual nutrition value of the dish served, can shock you.....
The amount of high cholesterol butter, the food colour, the food preservatives used can teach you a nice lesson...
I am sure nobody would have tested these foods in lab ever but can have its chowpatti bhel its nice dish with 192 calorie and veg grill.sandwich was good too... And also checked several times quantity delivered is differed almost all the time.
I am sorry if i have hurt anyones emotions...my intentions were not to hurt any ones sentiments...

Awesome Pav Bhaji (Provided its not crowded)!
One of the best pav bhaji joints in Mumbai. The Pav Sandwich is a must-try. The hygiene level is very low and it gets worse during the rainy season. They are very generous with their use of butter so you might have to warn the waiter when you order. Worth a visit when you are in the area.
Nvr try their bhaji without the butter
Since childhood ,I have been a regular here being a gujju! A big fan of the famous pav bhaji . As i grew and became very healthy (plump) , once tried to order the bhaji without the extra butter topping.Believe me i was shocked that the bhaji dint taste lik THE Achija Bhaji!! Pls avoid it for the sake of its taste!! Have their kadak pav!! toasted to the perfection of gujju taste along with the bhaji..crispy n tasty!
Also tried their chinese , dosas and their over priced dahi puri..but must say its heavenly!!! Loads and loads of dahi in it... I guess these guys must hv a contract with the AMUL company directly to the qty they use daily basis ;)
Have been to their mulund outlet as well.They have more dosa varieties @ mulund!!

Awesome fast food
Have been going to this place since childhood. Very nice fast food. Known mostly for its pav bhaji. But personally like all the items on its menu. Gets very crowded on weekend. One of the few places which is open daily even at 1 am. Also gets a little noisy. But awesome food if you like fast food.

Accha Achija...
Achija is the first name that comes to mind when you think of pav bhaji in Ghatkopar. (Amul) butter dripping bread and spicy bhaaji just the way you like it! You order cheese pav bhaji and you get a generous amount of grated cheese over it. They do have a variety of other fast-food items, but it is famous for its yummilicious pav bhaji. Other try-on's are special pizza, grilled sandwich and tawa pulav. However, try avoiding the south Indian dishes. They even offer chinese items, but they are strictly okay!
Its a regular fast-food joint which is crowded always. You won't find much of a decor here. Its more like accommodating as many people at one go. Its noisy too, but with your pav bhaji plate in front of you, you hardly care!

Pav Bhaji
I think everytime i am in the city and have this urge to eat pav bhaji, i choose from the following 2 places. This or sardars, Sardars is a different story, so will come to that later. Achija being closer to home, is more easily accessible. The pav bhaji is yummm. Have also tried one of their grill sandwiches - quite good. But for me achija is only for pav bhaji.
June 02,2010
bakwasss bakwass bakwass... thode din pehle i was d one who gave 4 stars to achija.. but now wont even give 1 star... it has been 3 times now where achijas pavbhaji served was tasting like stale tomatoes....nd even dey have increased der price by 5 bucks in each item.. as such it is highly priced.. a pavbhaji for 75 bucks???.. taj mein nahi kha raha....

Great fast food..keep an eye on the rates, guys!!
This is one place that is just famous for its pav bhaji, and everything else that is termed Indian fast food tastes great. The chutneys for he chaat are just delicious! If you pass by this place, the aroma of the pav bhaji is guaranteed to tempt you. They also have a south indian and chinese menu. South indian is good in taste, but the chinese is just OK.
The place is open past midnight and is always always busy. I can bet that hardly anyone goes unsatisfied. The reason may be the combination of good taste, good ingredients, generous portions (including butter, so leave your dieting behind when you enter) and efficient service. The food served is fresh and is served quickly. The home delivery is within a reasonable time but i can't say it is fast.
Recently, though, the rates have been on a steady rise. While its good that they have chosen to up the rates rather than lower the quality of their offerings, 50 bucks for a Dahi Batata Puri is still high!

2nd Best Pav Bhaji in Mumbai
Except the chinese food which is really bad...all other food here is good. The dosas are average. The pulav is good.
But what is really great here is the pav bhaji. The bhaji is made out of fresh crisp vegetables cooked in spicy fresh masala & loads of butter & has a tangy red colour to it.
The pav is generously roasted in butter & is soft & delicate.
The Fruit juices too are good But if u go to achija den do so for their superb pav bhaji. & yeah by the way the best pav bhaji i have eaten is at M M Mithaiwala at malad west

The best Pav Bhaji EVER!
Honestly, Achija serves the best Pav Bhaji ever anywhere. Go for the spicy one - really addictive bhaji sprinked with the chatpata onions. Can't get enough of uber soft and soaked in butter pavs either.
Also highly recommend the garlic cheese roll.
The South Indian is fresh and the grilled sanwiches are nice and cheesy.
And its fairly inexpensive.
yum yum
Good food good service.
I LOVE the paav bhaji and the tawa pulav.
Oh and you should try their blossoms (milkshakes) !
If ever feel the food is not as good as your previous visit, all you have to do is politely tell the waiter and he'll quietly replace the food for you!! :)
One of my fav joints!

Ahh.. .what a waste if you stop for some juice... I don't think there'd be anybody who can miss that all-inviting smell of freshly cooked Pav Bhaji here...
Ghatkopar sure has the best fast-food joints (read Stalls)... but Achija is by far the best for Pav Bhaji or Tawa Pulao...
But ...but... but... if you're amongst those who would jump out of the chair with the mere sight of butter or ghee, avoid this place... I love it simply because of the greasy pav-bhaji... one of the best in town!
Don't forget to wish the owner (tall bald man... spotted in the evenings)... he's polite... and shall surely remember if you had visited earlier (more than 200 visitors a day... and he can still recollect each!!)

This just in: The Club Life College Invasion tour with electronic dance music superstar Tiesto that was scheduled for Wednesday at Erie Insurance Arena has been canceled.
"Tiesto regrets to announce that due to a back injury he has been advised to take the month of October off from performances and is expected to reach a full recovery," states the press release.
That injury also wiped out shows at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and Big Four Building in Calgary. The release says all dates will be rescheduled, except for Erie's.
"Due to a conflict in scheduling, the Erie, PA performance … will not be rescheduled at this time. Refunds are available point of purchase."
The Tiesto show was supposed to be the first event at the expanding and recently re-named Erie Insurance Arena. Instead, that honor now goes to the Erie Otters, who plays Brampton on Friday night.
If you need the early word on what's going on sale for concerts this weekend, say no more.It's below.
The big one: George Strait. The country superstar will play Buffalo's First Niagara Center on Feb. 22 with special guest Martina McBride.
Tickets are $92 and $72. They go on sale Oct. 12 at www.tickets.com and by phone at (888) 223-6000.
Cool news for Led Zep fans (and who isn't?) "Celebration Day" — the concert film of their 2007 reunion show in London — will play Tinseltown, after all. Dates are Oct. 17 and Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be released on Blu-ray and DVD in November.
Thursday's Showcase has no Dr. Rock's Concert. Below is a list of what's going on sale and coming up. The new stuff is sparse, but here goes.

BERGHASH MOUTH GUARD 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Jan. 29, 1964 INVENTOR HYMAA/ H BEQGHQSH BY mmz, m /m TTORNEYS United States Patent 3,247,844 MGUTH GUARD Hyman H. Berghash, Buffalo, N.Y., assiguor to Roberts Dental Manufacturing Co. Ina, Bufialo, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed Jan. 29, 1964-, Ser. No. 341,073 6 Claims. (Cl. 128-136) This invention relates to an improved mouth guard of the yieldable type which is used by athletes in sporting events for protecting their teeth, lips and jaws from blows, and more particularly to an improved mouth piece which comprises a trough-shaped base member within which is placed a secondary filler for obtaining an exact impres sion of the teeth, that is, an outline of their shape and their alignment.
In this embodiment and embodiments previously known, a custom-made mouth piece is made by the placing of a rubber base material, fusa-ble at a low temperature, within a standard sized trough-shaped base member which is of the same general configuration as the users upper teeth. By these means, it can be seen that the necessity of making individual mouth pieces for each user is obviated and that this and other known embodiments provide a simple and easy method for readily making reusable mouth guards in that all that is required is a standard size base member and a moldable filler.
The known embodiments, as well as the present embodiment, include base members which are strengthened in the area which co-acts with the user's front teeth to thereby prevent his piercing the same unknowingly while he is engaged in the activities of the particular athletic event or during the forming of the mouth piece.
Known embodiments, however, are defective in that they do not provide a fit which conforms to the contour of the users mouth structure and the curvature of his dentition. These defects affect the retention of the mouth piece and will cause the same to interfere with the users breathing and speech.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide an improved mouth guard that more accurately fits the contours of the mouth and teeth; thus increasing the retention and comfort and reducing the interference with breathing and speech.
It is another object of this invention to provide a mouth guard which has an occlusal plane that conforms substantially to the curvature of the occlusal plane of the dentition.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a mouth guard having an anterior labial flange which slopes upwardly and posteriorly from the anterior incisal edge, following the natural anatomic contour of the labial alveolar bone.
It is another object of this invention to provide an irnproved mouth guard in which the incisal edge area is made as narrow as possible labiolingually without sacrificing protect-ion; thereby reducing interference with speech and movements of the tongue.
Other objects of this invention will be pointed out in the following detailed description and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which disclose by way of example, the principle of this invention and the best mode which has been contemplated for applying the principle.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the primary base member forming the present invention as it appears before being filled with a secondary filler material and fitted to the users mouth, and with the final fitted form indicated in dot and dash lines.
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the base member. FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the base member. FIG. 5 is a vertical cross sectional view in the region of a central incisor showing the integrally molded secondary filler material in the base member of this invention. With reference to FIGURE 1, there is shown a base .member designated generally by the numeral 1 which is preferably formed of a yieldable, moldable material such as rubber or of a special, tasteless, non-toxic vinyl plastic. The base member 1 is usually precast and is generally horse-shoe shaped in configuration when in its prefitted or relaxed state, and includes a frontal bite portion 2 and a pair of rearwardly extending leg portions 3. In FIGURE 2, which is a vertical sectional view of the base member shown in FIGURE 1, it is seen that in the frontal area the base member includes a narrow base or floor portion 4 which is arcuate in cross section and which has an outer retaining wall or labial flange 5 and an inner retailing wall d which together form a trough for maintaining the secondary filling therein. Upon a further inspection of FIGURE 2 it can be seen that the forward or outer wall 5, in the region of the incisors, extends upwardly and rearwardly from the floor 4, also the inner or rear wall 6 slopes upwardly and rearwardly, which construction provides for a mouth piece which more naturally conforms to the anatomic contour of the users labial alveolar bone, which conformity enhances the retention and comfort of the mouth piece. It should also be note-d that the wall 5 is much higher than the wall 6, which construction also aids in enhancing the retention of the mouth piece.
The walls 5 and 6 change in slope as they approach the legs 3 until in the molar region they are substantially vertical as indicated at 5a and 6a. Also the base or floor 4 changes from a narrow, arcuate conformation in the incisal area to a much wider, substantially planar surface in the molar region as indicated at 4a. The outer wall 5 is contoured to avoid the buccal muscle and labial frenu-m attachments to the mouth; while the inner wall 6 is contoured to avoid the palatal arch and to follow the crest of the gingival tissue.
Due to the formation and material of the base member 1; when the legs 3 are moved farther apart to fit a wider dental arch, the rearward slope of the labial flange 5 increases as shown by dot and dash lines in FIG URES l and 2. This rearward movement results in closer adaptation of the labial flange 5 to the anterior alveolar mucosa.
Ithas been found that by making the mouth guard shell or base member 1 of a size that approximates the average bi-molar width of the smallest one third of a representative sampling of mouth sizes, it is possible to take advantage of this increase in retention when larger arches are fitted.
The present mouth piece includes a plurality of radially transverse ribs 7 disposed in the trough floor 4 in the frontal arcuate portion or incisal zone of the mouth piece, each of which extends from the rear of the forward wall 5 to the frontof the rear wall 6. These ribs extend into and terminate in the leg portions 3 forwardly, of a plurality of upstanding fr-usto-con-ical bosses 8 formed on the upper surface of the floor 4a in each of the legs 3. The ribs 7 and bosses 8 are effective to prevent the user from piercing with his teeth the floor 4 either during the forming of the mouth guard or while he is participating in some athletic event. Also the thickness of the trough floor gradually increases from the incisal area to the molar area in order to be strongest in the area where the bite pressure is greatest.
To aid in the retention of the mouth guard, the floor 4 is curved to conform to the curvature of the occlusal plane which is a segment of a sphere and known to '39 the dental profession as the curve of Spec. This is best illustrated in FIGURES 2 and 3.
Another feature of the present invention is the provision of a pair of vertically spaced horizontal ribs 9 formed on the inside of the forward wall or labial flange 5 and extending around the frontal bite portion 2 of the guard. The ribs 9 reinforce the wall 5; act as additional shock absorbers for the lip and incisors and helpretain the secondary filler material in the mouth guard.
Even when the base member 1 has ben filled with the secondary filler and molded to the users mouth and teeth, the plastic resilience of the base member slightly urges the legs 3 toward their original horseshoe shape as seen in solid lines of FIG. 1. This inward urging tendency of the legs 3 aids in the retention of the mouth guard in the users mouth.
The custom fit of the present mouth guard is made possible by the insertion of a secondary filler material 10 of a rubber base material which is fusable at a low temperature within the base member 1. This filler may take the form of any known mixtures such as those recited in US. Patent No. 3,073,300, for obtaining the desired results. These materials, at low temperature, take the form of a fluid which may be made up at will by the user. For instance, a suitable mixture of liquid and powder to form the desired filler may be made just before the impression is to be taken. The filler is placed in the base member and the base member is disposed wit-bin the mouth in the cusps of the upper and lower teeth with the base portion disposed between these teeth until the filler has set; thus producing a custom fitted, longwearing, reusable mouth guard.
In FIG. 5, which shows the mouth guard in section; with the secondary filler 10 molded to an incisor, T indicates the incisor, P is the peridontal ligament, A is the alveolar bone and L is the lip of the user; all of which are shown diagrammatically.
It can, therefore, be readily seen that a new and improved mouth piece has been provided which more naturally conforms to the anatomical structure of the users mouth for facilitating the retention of the piece in the users mouth and which incorporates a reinforced base member which prevents the user from piercing the base member with his frontal teeth.
While there has been shown and described and pointed out the fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutes and changes in the form and details of the device'illustrated and in its operation may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the following claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A tooth guard and jaw protector comprising a horseshoe shaped base member for fitting between a persons upper and lower teeth which comprises a curved frontal bite portion and a pair of legs each forming a continuation of an end of said frontal bite portion with said legs converging at their free ends, said frontal bite portion characterized by a trough defined by a lingual wall inclined toward said legs, a labial wall the upper portion of which is inclined toward said legs and a connecting arcuate floor, said trough being narrowest in the middle of the frontal bite portion and widening toward either end, a plurality of radially spaced webs attached to the bottom of said trough on the inside surface, at least one peripherally extending rib attached to the inside surface of said labial wall below the top thereof, said legs defining further fiat bottom troughs forming continuations of said trough with a plurality of spaced bosses attached on the inside surface of said flat bottom of said legs, said trough and said further troughs cooperating to receive a selfmolding filler material, said webs, said rib and said bosses cooperating to provide shock absorption, and for serving to anchor said filler material.
2. A tooth guard and jaw protector as recited in claim 1 wherein the further fiat bottom troughs of said leg portions are characterized by an arcuate shape.
3. A tooth guard and jaw protector as recited in claim 1 wherein said trough of said frontal bite portion is characterized by an arcuate shape.
4. A tooth guard and jaw protector as recited in claim 1 wherein the further fiat troughs of said leg portions increase in width in. the direction of the free ends of said leg portions.
5. A tooth guard and jaw protector as recited in claim 1 wherein a pair of such peripherally extending ribs are attached to the inside surface of said labial wall in a vertically spaced orientation.
6. A tooth guard and jaw protector as recited in claim 1 wherein the convergence of the free ends of said leg portions is such that in normal use the leg portions must be spread apart when inserted in a users mouth resulting in a bias force being applied to the labial wall increasing its inclination toward said leg portions whereby the protector more securely adapts to the users dentition.

Infant Services
Preemies and Medically Fragile Infants
The Children's Home of Pittsburgh was founded in 1984 as Transitional Infant Care Hospital, or TIC. This special infant program was designed to help parents of babies who were born premature or with medical conditions that necessitated a stay in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU.
The philosophies of this program remain today as part of our infant services for preemies and medically fragile infants:
- To provide a transition from hospital to home for babies and their families
- To help families take control of the decision making regarding their baby's care
- To provide families one-on-one time with neonatal nurses and pediatric nurses to allow families to ask questions and learn hands-on to care for their infant's complex medical needs
- To allow families to learn to care for their infant on the same equipment they will use at home
- To offer a calm, home-like environment that provides a healthy setting for infant growth and development
- To help parents and siblings adjust to new roles and responsibilities
- To allow overnight stays for parents to practice caring for their infant "on their own" with the knowledge that nursing staff is nearby
Full-Term Infants
The Children's Home of Pittsburgh also offers special programs for parents of full-term infants who may be receiving IV antibiotics or weaning from medications that make hospitalization necessary but that don't require a prolonged stay in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU. The Children's Home also offers special services for babies receiving hospice care.
All parents and siblings are welcome to stay overnight and to fully participate in the care of their infant and utilize all the services that The Children's Home of Pittsburgh offers.
The Nursery Environment
The nursery atmosphere is calm and quiet. Carefully selected music plays softly. The nursery is lit by natural light through large abundant windows with shades, and offers natural cycles of day and night, more like what a baby will experience at home.
Small clusters of four crib spaces allow your family to have privacy, while the open nursery design allows nurses to see, hear and monitor every infant at all times. Crib spaces are enclosed by partial walls and large curtains that can be open or closed when family members are caring for their infant.
Each crib and isolette has a rocking chair beside it and a handmade baby quit: a getting-ready-to-go-home gift from our volunteers. You may also bring clothes, mobiles and approved toys for your baby.
Infant-Specific Services:
- Electric breast pumps and nursing support are available for nursing mothers. There is a lactation specialist on staff.
- Multiple private, fully equipped breastfeeding / pumping rooms include a rocking chair, sink, hospital grade pumps, accessories, breastfeeding resources, TV, and plenty of space.
- Infant massage therapy is taught to families by The Children's Home of Pittsburgh's infant development specialist. Used to relax the baby, this technique is a great one to take home.
- Specially trained volunteers provide "baby holding" for families who want it, so your baby can be held even during the times when you can't be there.

First-half goals from Ben Pringle, Mark Bradley and Daniel Nardiello gave the Millers a deserved win on Tuesday and set up a third-round tie at Aldershot.
It was a miserable night for County, whose poor home form continued and they saw defender Damion Stewart sent-off in the first half for a deliberate elbow.
Evans said: "I couldn't win a game in the FA Cup until a few years ago, but I do think when you get success in it, and I'm not talking about the financial rewards, I'm talking about when you see your players playing against the top teams there is nothing quite like it."
Evans said he was proud of his team's performance after they dominated a sluggish County from start to finish.
He said: "We were disappointed with it going to a replay and it was 3-0, but it could have been six or seven, but we would have taken a scrappy 1-0 win.
"When we play like that we're difficult to deal with and we played even better than that against Gillingham and lost - football is a strange game.
"To come to Notts County, who are a good side with a good manager and to win in the manner in which we did, which was as comfortable an away performance as you will see in the cup, is testament to the players, who I thought were excellent."

New Amsterdam History Center
500 Fifth Ave
Suite 1710
New York, New York 10110
Virtual New Amsterdam:The primary purpose of the 3D modeling project is to spatialize and present information and theories about how New Amsterdam looked in the period of 1660 as the "capital" of New Netherland. The spatialization and presentation involve two forms of communication:knowledge that we have about the settlement will be used to reconstruct digitally how its topography, infrastructure, (streets, bridges, walls) and individual buildings and fort may have looked; and whenever possible, the sources of archaeological information and speculative reasoning behind the digital reconstruction will be made available. Thus the virtual project, or digital model, will be a representation about the present state of knowledge about the settlement as we currently know it. Beyond this primary purpose, it can be used to teach students or the general public about how it looked. It can be used to collect data about the built form, the natural features and cultural phenomenon. Finally, a digital model can easily be updated with new information or archaeological discovery.In addition, The NAHC will develop prototype products that include the following concepts:Provide multi-disciplinary study and training in New Netherlandic History and related social studies, including the classroom use of historic artifacts and documents in teaching;Integrate the use, into classroom teaching, of a high quality website and on-line learning methods that delivers primary sources to the classroom;House a digital library of teaching resources, a bank of computers for teacher use, and a comfortable area for educators to participate in educational offerings and explore new resources with a community of learners;Offer a variety of professional development programs necessary for teacher re-certification.In addition to workshops the NAHC will provide consultations with "historians-in-residence" and assistance to teachers in their research.

Over on Twitch in less than 2 hours, GW2Guru will be sitting down with developers Tyler Bearce, Jonathan Sharp, and Karl McLain to talk about all things PvP. Xeph from Team Paradigm will be representing Europe, and Nero from JBUO will be representing North America. I expect there to be lots of discussion about balance, limited builds, improving traits and rebalancing trait lines (which is all well and good) but I also fear that we've been here before, many times over. With many of these problems having existed since closed Beta, is there any wonder sPvP and tournaments are so unpopular?
Cool! Looking forward to this

I'm really not one to bash on anyone, but skip this place. I tried a bit of everything - wings, chicken, ribs and the two latter weren't even edible. Honesly, I couldn;t even tell you what animal the ribs came from. The only palatable thing I had was the side order of pasta salad. The wings were mediocre at best. True, the food is cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/03/2006
O.K. So there I was 4 months pregnant seriously craving well done wings -- medium with hot sauce on the side -- and extra blue with an order potatoe wedges. I had recently discovered that Aiello's -- the best damn wing joint in Manhattan -- had burnt down to the ground with no plans for resurrection, Despair! When low and behold, I spied the previous entry from a fellow Aiello's fan (thanks to Menupages) giving Best Wingers a glowing review. Could any wing place really hold a candle to my Aiello's, especially one that I lived across the street from for 12 years and looked like a hole in the wall?! Things were looking up, but I was still skeptical. I dialed the number, placed my order, and in 15 minutes I had piping hot wings just as I had ordered them. The sauce didn't have quite the tang of aiello's or the special kick, but it was darn close. I made my equally skeptical husband try one and he agreed with delight. The potato wedges were equally tasty and worthy of a try to any doubter. I am writing this now having just placed yet another order. God speed to Best Wingers! Be not afraid ye Aiello's fans. Place thine orders so that we keep the place in biz. I can't wait until Superbowl!
Posted by Aiello's fan on 09/11/2006
After Aiello's burned down, I thought that I would not be able to get good wings in the area anymore. Best Wingers provided me with relief. I would put it at top three for wings in the city and #1 for delivery. But the menu item to talk about is the fried chicken. It is up there and surpasses the fried chicken at any other southern or bbq place. It is so good, I think I am going to order tonight.

I've been in the n'hood for 10 years now and passed this place a million and one times and never would dare to go in. For some reason I came across this page and read all your reviews. I have to say, I listed, agree and am so glad I listened to everyone! So DELISH! I got a buffalo chicken salad and can't believe how much food they gave me! For $5.99! It's like for 2 days. And the wings are sooo good! This is going to be my new fave local place!
Posted by Steve on 08/01/2006
I went to this place craving some sort of greasy fried food. However after I sat down to eat it, i realized that this place has some really good wings. Then I ate some more and realized this places wings are great. The place doesn't look beautiful, but they are clean and the wings are to die for. You should try the garlic and cheese wings. Very Delicious.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/13/2006
I had a terrible craving for a buffalo chicken sandwich and Best Wingers delivered. Never eaten from here before, but I would definitely order again. The chicken was delicious, the roll was perfect. I would suggest asking for some extra sauce, but otherwise, this was a great experience. I'll probably be trying some of their other food very soon.
Posted by Wing Connoisseur on 02/06/2006
These are the best on the Menu if you don't like your mouth to be on fire from the 911 sauce! 911 is not a joke, they are so hot, they will make you choke! The Garlic Cheese goes down with ease, so do yourself a favor and savor the flavor 911 is deadly and there is no waiver! Go Garlic Cheese!

What are the odds that visiting space aliens could simply walk off their craft and start breathing our own oxygen-rich atmosphere?
Better than is generally appreciated; even among some astrobiologists.
Such other-worldly "visitors" may not be able to click off the first leg of the New York Marathon, but David Catling, a planetary scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle, argues that it's likely they would have evolved to use molecular oxygen (O2) for respiratory metabolism.
"There's wide agreement that life originated without oxygen," said Catling. "But in order to get complex life — mobile, multi-cellular organisms with specialized, differentiated anatomy; you need oxygen."
Catling says that oxygen is the best element in the periodic table to produce abundant amounts of energy for metabolism which, in turn, enables our own species to "grow large, run and jump and think." Traits that sentient extraterrestrials (E.T.) may also share.
"Because of oxygen's chemical advantages and the history of complex life on earth is so intertwined with oxygen levels," said Catling, "I think E.T. would also breathe oxygen."
Catling says non-oxygenic (or anaerobic) metabolism produces about ten times less energy for the same food intake than aerobic metabolism. As a result, anaerobic organisms don't grow to be large or complex.
"From accumulating geological evidence and biological plausibility, it's becoming increasingly clear that oxygen 'sparked' speciation and the evolution of more complex earth life forms,"
said Victor Thannickal, a Professor of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
So, Catling says it's no coincidence that some 600 million years ago, the emergence of complicated Ediacaran organisms tracks with the first time that oxygen reached atmospheric levels of greater than three percent.
Though largely immobile with no mouths or muscles, Catling says Ediacarans likely relied upon diffusion of nutrients through their "skin." Only later, he says, did our planet's own oxygen levels rise enough to support predators and complicated food chains.
Even so, it was arguably oxygen's role in abundant cellular energy production that enabled complex life's emergence here on earth.
