We'd like to thank Cindy for sharing the following story.
Doing work for the Toronto International Film Festival in the mid-90's I had occasion to regularly cross paths with a lot of celebrities, so I wasn't habitually star-struck around famous people as a rule.
Anyhow one sunny hot September (or late August) Sunday afternoon I was at an industry party. It was one of the more informal annual film festival events at a large private home. Guests ranged from local Toronto film people to one of the cast members of the TV show "Friends" which was big at the time. I wasn't feeling well and while in the kitchen getting some ice water, I was unpleasantly groped in the process by a very rude, very drunk famous director. Continue reading

The Wolf Pack came off the bench and jumped into a 1-0 lead just seven seconds into the game. Wolf Pack game announcer Jared Doyon informed the crowd of 4,694 that the goal was the fastest in Wolf Pack team history. I am willing to bet it is the fastest goal in the building's history, including mites hockey between periods.
Jesper Fast scoring the fastest goal sounds like a head line dream. It's ironic but also very true. Fast took a blue line to blue line pass from Danny Syvret off the face off from J. T. Miller and put the puck in the net. He beat and probably surprised Springfield Falcon net minder Jeremy Smith. Fast broke in clean splitting two Falcon defenders before racing towards the net. He had time to make his move and beat Smith and giving the Pack a lead that they would never lose.
The Pack jumped on Smith literally from the start of the game. They put up 15 shots and scored on four of them. Smith's night was over when Oscar Lindberg scored his second of the game just minutes into the second period(2:40). Smith was pulled for Mike Mckenna, whom leads the AHL in goals against average(1.65) and save percentage(.940%). Mckenna did his job stopping the remaining 21 shots despite some good chances for Hartford to score throughout the game. Dov Grumet-Morris who started in net for the Pack held up his end protecting a lead all night. I can think of three tremendous saves that must have frustrated the Falcons, Grumet-Morris made 22 of 24 saves on the night.
Even though Mckenna did his job he still heard it from section 109 in the XL Center. As the game came to a close, the crowd behind Mckenna was giving him directions to I-91 North. The two teams are linked by the same interstate around 25 minutes apart. There has long been an I-91 rivalry for these two cities who at one time shared an NHL franchise. This was the seventh meeting of twelve this season between the two teams and Springfield had won everyone until last night. The law of averages would say that this was going to happen.
However, sometimes you have to believe what you see and that team last night played with something that can only be described in one word, effort. The effort was evident from the get go, they out shot, out scored and out lasted the Falcons for the entire game. If they could bottle that and use it before every game they could start to climb out of the Northeast Division cellar.
I found myself really asking; who was that team last night? Long time Hartford hockey fan Jim Searle answered the question. He said, "They finally came out and played some old time hockey."

A planned auction of a Civil War soldier's skull found at the Gettysburg battlefield has been cancelled, according to the Daily Mail on June 3. Outrage from the National Park Service and the public has caused the auction house to donate the skull to be buried with military honors.
The skull is thought to be from a soldier who died at the battle of Gettysburg, which took place 150 years ago last July. The skull was actually found by a gardener in 1949 on the Benner Farm in Gettysburg. The farm is two miles north of a building that was used as a field hospital during the battle. Thirteen other artifacts were found with the skull.
Originally, the Estate Auction Co. of Hershey, Pa. had the skull listed for auction in Hagerstown, Md. However, a recent news release stated that the skull had been donated to the Gettysburg Foundation. It will be authenticated and delivered to the park "for interment with full military honors in the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg."
A spokesperson for Gettysburg National Park, Katie Lawhon, said that in two decades of working in Gettysburg she had never heard of a sodlier's remains being offered for sale. She had previously called reports of the sale "very unfortunate."
"I can't think of anything more grotesque or disrespectful than auctioning off the remains of a soldier who may have been one of those, as Lincoln put it, who gave their lives that the nation might live. The skull belongs in the Gettysburg Soldiers Cemetery, not on the auction block. I have nothing against passionate collecting. But this is desecration," Harold Holzer, an author and expert on President Lincoln, told The Washington Post in an email.
The battle which took place at Gettysburg from July 1 to July 3, 1863 claimed more lives than any other battle in American history. The Union and Confederacy combined lost 8,000 men and there were more than 46,000 soldiers wounded. It is, however, considered to be the battle which turned the war for the Union. Still, the conflict raged on for two more bloody years.

text: VNC is great technology I've used over 3 years, so I was very surprised to discover that dropping in Xvnc 3.3.7 to replace 3.3.3 resulted in a major increase in latency to move windows (in outline mode). My client is Win2000 using the 3.3.7 viewer. Whereas the 3.3.3 server lets me drag windows with near-local speed following the mouse, 3.3.7 refreshes the outline about 5 times slower. My Xvnc command line (started via dtlogin) is: /usr/local/bin/Xvnc :1 -rfbauth /home/timwood/.vnc/passwd -alwaysshared -cc 3 -depth 8 -geometry 1280x1024 -auth /var/dt/A:1-8QaOFT The only change is the Xvnc version and I get the performance hit. Fiddling the client connection options resulted in no change or slower still (CopyRect on). Also, I notice that the Windows VNC service sets my local desktop background to blue (I'm aware of the option) and does not restore it when the client disconnects or when the service is stopped. Ideas, clues welcome... Thanks, TW

Sherlock, a five-year-old pit bull mix, is on the brink of losing the most important person in his life...his beloved guardian, Pat, is in the end stages of cancer and her days are numbered.
As the end all-too-quickly approaches, Pat is faced with the gut-wrenching fear that her constant companion will not be safely in a home after she is gone. The last thing that she wants to consider is the unthinkable...that her dog might be forced to go to a shelter if a new guardian cannot be secured.
Right now, Pat is out of the hospital, but soon, she will be going to hospice - away from her best friend for likely the final time.
Sherlock has been Pat's rock throughout her difficult, painful treatments - she wants nothing more than to return the favor and secure him a loving home.
The following words were shared about Sherlock:
Sherlock has basic obedience training and is housebroken. He loves people but has never been around young children. He loves long walks and cuddling on the couch. He is such a sweetheart. Sherlock would do best in a home with no other pets.
Well mannered, sweetheart of a boy who can't comprehend that soon his human will be gone.
Efforts to find Sherlock a home, thus far, have been fruitless - please take a moment to network Sherlock's information...his guardian deserves the peace of mind in knowing that her beloved companion will be safe after she is gone.
Contact and location:
Sherlock is in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Fully vetted, heartworm negative.
Contact Jess for more information at: firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 970 775 0797

Last night was the season finale of The Bachelor and the outcome was unlike anything fans have observed before. The Bachelor Nation anxiously tuned in to see if the rumors were true that Juan Pablo wouldn't choose either of the final two women, Nikki and Clare. Over the years, we've witnessed fairy-tale proposals on the season finale, no proposals to any of the women, rejection from both parties and a change of heart during the special, After the Final Rose. Remember when Jason broke up with Melissa and chose Molly after already proposing to Melissa? Talk about confusion, Chris Harrison. Just as Harrison promises every season, the outcome of the 27th run was definitely dramatic. The most dramatic season ever? You decide.
Juan Pablo has received a lot of negative attention from the media ever since his homophobic comments last month expressing that gay people are more "pervert" than straight people and a gay bachelor wouldn't work in our country because it would be too much for us to handle on television. He's also been accused of cheating on past lovers, stirring up unnecessary drama with friends and has been labeled as an overall playboy not ready to settle down. Even his family acknowledges his often stubborn, cocky behavior. Say what you want about the hunky heart-breaker, but one thing is for sure: Pablo was not giving in to what everyone else wanted.
When Juan Pablo rejected Clare, it came as no surprise that Nikki would be the last one remaining, but when he told her "I really like you," social media outlets exploded. Instead of getting on one knee and proposing to the beautiful blonde, he presented her with a rose and confessed he wasn't 100% sure if he wanted to be engaged. While so many people were outraged by his decision, I respect his wishes to not give Nikki false hope and put a ring on it just because that's the "norm" and the obvious expectation to do so. The show is an outlet to find love, so why all the criticism towards them because they're not engaged? Plenty of people can find love and not jump into an engagement after such a short period of time.
During the After the Final Rose special, Chris Harrison grilled Pablo on why he couldn't admit he found love and became frustrated that Pablo responded with such a passive, nonchalant attitude on every question asked of him. Pablo repeatedly gave the same answers; that he and Nikki were in a good place and now that the cameras were off, they could really begin to explore each other and their relationship. Baffled by the confusion of Chris Harrison and the audience members alike, Pablo and Nikki continued to almost mock the entire situation and gave nothing romantic and mushy to satisfy Harrison. While I do understand that when you sign up for a show like this, it's expected that you play out the role and give America what they want, but I kind of like the fact that Pablo wasn't playing into that repetitive ritual and took a more realistic approach to dating. I mean they've only known each other for a few months, why not let them be happy exploring each other on their own time and in privacy? Most people in everyday life do not get engaged to someone they have only known for a short period of time. It should also be noted that the majority of couples who "found love" and received that happy ending of the show we've seen time and time again end up splitting a few months after the engagement.
So kudos to the new couple for marching to the beat of their own drum and responding with what I perceive as normal answers from a duo who practically just met. It's refreshing to see a Bachelor shake things up a bit and take an approach that could actually benefit the two in the long run. I also think Pablo was so fed up with all the rumors created by his stint on the show that he purposely pissed of ABC and producers of The Bachelor to make a statement: It's okay!

One of the most interesting and versatile words in the American English language is the word "Fuck". Only four letters long, it can describe pleasure, pain, love and hate. In language, "Fuck" falls into many grammatical categories. The Cambridge International dictionary of English defines it as a slang/taboo word. The numerous grammatical variations and the creative uses of the word can boggle the mind. Originally, a quite acceptable word, "fuck" has overcome banning in literature and created confusion in the correct usage in the positive and negative connotations. The problem of "Fuck" is not the definition, but the acceptable time and place to draw upon it.
Recorded in a dictionary in 1598 (John Florio's A world of Words), this word is remotely derived from the Latin futuere and Old German ficken/fucken meaning 'to strike or penetrate', which had the slang meaning 'to copulate'. Entering the English language in the late 15th century, it became more rare in print in the 18th century when it became a vulgar term. It was even banned from the Oxford English Dictionary. In 1960, Grove Press won a court case permitting it to print the word legally for the first time in 3 centuries, in D.H Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover (written in 1928).
The Cambridge International dictionary of English defines fuck as;(to have sex with someone, when considered to be only physical and without any emotional involvement), can be used as a verb both transitive,(John fucked Mary) and intransitive (John fucked). It can be an active verb (John really gives a fuck) or a passive verb (John was fucked by Mary), or an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), and a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful). As you can see, there are a very few words with the versatility of "Fuck".
All these variations of the word have slipped into the everyday use of the English language. The word is

The festival will take place on February 16 and 17 at Wave City Center, Noida, and at Bhartiya City, Bangalore. The lineup from day one in Noida will play day two in Bangalore, and the lineup from day two in Noida will play day one in Bangalore, with a couple of exceptions, the most notable one being Deep Purple's absence in Bangalore.

This festival will pretty much make sure that several music lovers in the country have at least one item they can cross off their bucket lists.
Speaking to The Times Of India about the festival, Percept head Shailendra Singh said, "We have The Wailers without Bob Marley and the Doors without Jim Morrison." (This was on Sunday).
The festival promises multiple stages and "an overall experiential package bursting with a musical journey so eclectic that it is nothing less than historic in every sense of the word". The complete lineup, including the Indian bands performing, will be announced on the festival website soon. The organisers have also planned an ambitious build-up to the festival: the festival website also states that the "journey of musically harmony will take the form of a road trip from multiple cities across the country". The road-trip is said to include stopovers and activities such as band buses and "musical pit-stops". The road-trip feature was also a central theme of the Lost Festival, which was to take place in November 2012, but never found its place on the winter festival schedule.
While their press release is deliciously kvlt, no one can deny that the Fly Music Festival boasts what is one of the most impressive, not to mention most varied (Anthrax vs KT Tunstall?) international lineups to hit the subcontinent.
If all goes well, Fly Music Festival will be the first major music festival of the year, and pretty much a wet dream for a lot of music lovers.
Tickets for the festival are on sale at BookMyShow, with single day passes starting at Rs 2,250 and season ticket options starting at Rs 3,000 and going up till Rs 10,000 for VIP. A student discount is also available.
Check out the
original updated lineup posters below.

UPDATE (11.01) Fly Music Festival will hit Bangalore on February 17 after the show the day before in Delhi.
UPDATE: (13.01): The Wailers are back on, and…wait for it…wait for it…Mastodon (!!!), according to a post on Fly's official Facebook page. Check out the new lineup poster at the bottom of the page.

Lasts Forever!I have had this hairdryer for about 7 years. The motor is starting to die on me (and it wouldnt have if I had taken better care of it!) so now Im here to get another one. I have long blonde hair and this hair dryer dries it so fast and with such good body. The air flow is fabulous! When I was in college, I tried my girlfriends hair dryer and could not believe how weak the air flow was on it compared to mine. Literally all the girls in my house were all using my hairdryer because it was so great. I have dropped it a million times and it is still going. BUY THIS! You wont regret it. The settings allow you to style your hair any way.Jan 17, 2008Monica / San Diego, CA

Kent Williams I - Modern "All-Star" Manager
Is an AIM modern-style micromanager designed
to handle Original Franchise All-Star (OFAS) or all-star type teams. Broadly speaking, the
Williams managers style emulates the famous Baltimore manager of the late 1960's through
early 1980's. To wit, they tend to play for big innings, dislike the bunt, take advantage
- both defensively and offensively - of platoon advantages, and usually try to stay with
starting pitchers, at least the quality ones, quite long. However, many of these
strategies "adjust" based on the specific ratings and statistics for the team
being managing. Additionally, this version greatly increases the offensive aggressiveness,
particularly in extra inning games. This includes more pinchhitting, especially where
platoon advantages are apparent.
1) Williams does have a blowout sub strategy.
It's somewhat limited, however, and usually tends to involve the use of "itchy"
players as subs. He will, though, sub for the "superstar" type player in
lopsided games. He will PH, PR and/or sub defensively for this category of player.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) recently released their Retail Report for 2013, which included the top 10 retailers with the worst customer service. At the top of the list reigns a store you can find in cities and towns across the country, Walmart. In fact, Walmart has held that position of worst customer service, or tied with another retailer, for six years in a row! The megastore ranked lowest in both the supermarket and retailer categories. The retailer often boasts its low prices and expansive inventory, but why is their customer service rated so poorly? Walmart has long been the standard for other warehouse stores and is a seemingly indestructible force in the shopping world. So what happened?
Bloomberg news has reported that Walmart's stocking of shelves has been on the decline. Customers are going to the giant retailer thinking they will be able to find everything on their shopping list, but are finding the store to be lacking. Some shelves even have enough free space for a customer to lay down and take a nap. Customers are finding more and more that they can drive across the street to Costco (who scored very high in the ACSI report) or Target and easily find the goods they are looking for.
Another place that is lacking is the checkout line; Walmart consistently has at least 30 registers in store, and yet only have staff to man 7 to 10 of these. Lines are at least five shoppers deep, and a lot of those shoppers know how to fill up a cart. This lack of staff is creating a "vicious cycle" of under-staffing; not enough workers results in operational problems, resulting in poor sales. Not enough sales, and Walmart cannot staff its stores adequately. A common employee complaint is inconsistency and unpredictability in weekly hours. These staff members are not likely to remain loyal and motivated employees when they do not know if they will be able to pay the bills that week. These labor shortages are resulting in workers being asked to fill in for departments in which they have little to no prior training.
Other retailers on the list behind Walmart include Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreen's. These retailers are often known for having much higher prices than competitors like Walmart; so why is Walmart ranked even poorer than them? Their prices are typically lower and they have a greater selection. It shows that a low price sometimes cannot beat a good customer service experience. Instead of building store after store across the country, perhaps Walmart should focus on improving processes and procedures on stores already in operation.


text: 'BirminghamLives' - The Carl Chinn ArchiveCarl Chinn is well-known throughout Birmingham and the Black Country as an historian, broadcaster, newspaper columnist and author. Over the years Carl has assembled what is probably the biggest archive of working-class life stories in the world, consisting of tens of thousands of letters and photos, hundreds of oral history interviews and a variety of memorabilia and ephemera. This archive is a major element in the 'BirminghamLives' project that Carl is developing with South Birmingham College in Digbeth.It has always been Carl's wish that his archive be made available to a wider audience and through the unique nature of Internet technology Carl's wish has been granted. As Carl said about the archive:'I have had a dream of opening it up, of bringing it to a wider audience and in particular, of allowing young people to see, hear and feel the past. That dream seemed unattainable until the BGfL and Netmedia Education became involved. Through this wonderful and imaginative project, Birmingham Lives will become accessible, will have an impact and will lead youngsters to have a broader and more democratic approach to the past.'Over the past 3 years the Birmingham Grid for Learning (BGfL), Netmedia Education and Carl have been working together to digitise this private archive and develop a framework that allows pupils and teachers the opportunity to access these significant materials. The archive, although relatively small at the moment, will rapidly grow over time as more and more items are added to it as part of the 'BirminghamLives' project. The archive is simple to use. It can be searched by keywords, media format (film, written or spoken memory, photograph etc.), area (districts in and around Birmingham), human activity (play, war, school, homes etc.) or by physical place (canals, factories, shops, civic etc.). You can also contribute to the archive by submitting your own items of social or historical interest.'BirminghamLives' will undoubtedly become a significant resource for both teachers and pupils alike, especially for local history studies (from the late Victorian era through two world wars to modern times). Particularly useful will be the photographs and written memories which bring primary source evidence and artefacts direct to the classroom. This importance is echoed by Carl:'For if we know not whence we come then how we can move to where we wish to go? Our young people need to know who they are and to be alert to the importance not only of individual memories but also the collective memory. But given that we live in a visual and technological world, youngsters need to be made aware of the past visually and technologically. That is the great achievement and joy of this project.'

It's always interesting how a company describes their product, and we wanted to make sure that y'all didn't miss le Metier de Beaute's description of their Enchantment Kaleidescope Eye Kit ($95) cuz it's a doozy! According to the experts, it's a "coy intermix of tenderness, fickleness, tragedy, and passion." According to us everyday gals, these are high quality eyeshadows in neutral shades that work in any occasion depending on application, and the packaging makes carrying it around a breeze. So now you've got both sides of the coin. We'd make a better effort to tell you about the emotions that go with our lip gloss, but we're not sure you want to feel that much passion.
Hi all just wanted to share the wonderful news with the LMdB lovers! I have the news and sneak peak on the Spring 2012 collection! Its called Northern Lights Collection... 3 polishes, a lip kaleidoscope, an eye kaleidoscope, and if that's not enough there's also a new blush kaleidoscope!!! If you want more info, want to see and/or preorder them please send me an email :) 11alyx11@gmail

Ps enchantment is still available

What is the best way to change $30,000 dollars from the U.S., into Euros to Europe ? Is an international bank account the best solution? If not, then what?
To transfer US$30,000 from the USA to Europe, ask your European banker for the SWIFT transfer instructions. Typically in the USA the sending bank needs a SWIFT code and an account number, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount to transfer. A change of currency can be made as part of the transfer.
The typical fee to do this is under US$100 and the time, under 2 days. But you should ask (or have the sender ask) the bank in the USA about the fees. In addition to the fee the bank may try to make a profit on the change of currency. This might be 1-2%.
If you were going to do this many times, one way to go about it is to open an account at Interactive Brokers, which does business in various countries. They have a foreign exchange facility whereby you can deposit various currencies into your account, and they stay in that currency. You can then trade the currencies at market rates when you wish. They are also a stock broker and you can also trade on the various exchanges in different countries. I would say, though, they they mostly want customers already experienced with trading. I do not know if they will allow someone other than you to pay money into your account. Trading companies based in the USA do not like to be in the position of collecting on cheques owed to you, that is more the business of banks. Large banks in the USA with physical locations charge monthly fees of $10/mo or more that might be waived if you leave money on deposit. Online banks have significantly lower fees. All US banks are required to follow US anti-terrorist and anti-crime regulations and will tend to expect a USA address and identity documents to open an account with normal customers.
A good international bank in Europe can also do many of these same sorts of things for you. I've had an account with Fortis. They were ok, there were no monthly fees but there were fees for transactions. In some countries I understand the post even runs a bank.
Paypal can be a possibility, but fees can be high ~3% for transfers, and even higher commissions for currency change. On the other hand, it is probably one of the easiest and fastest ways to move amounts of $1000 or less, provided both people have paypal accounts.
Be careful of transferring through the large banks. They may say no/low fees, but they hide their cut in the spread, or worsen the exchange rate, to their favor.
The right answer to this question really depends on the size of the transfer. For larger transfers ($10k and up) the exchange rate is the dominant factor, and you will get the best rates from Interactive Brokers (IB) as noted by Paul above, or OANDA (listed by user6714).
Under $10k, CurrencyFair is probably your best bet; while the rates are not quite as good as IB or OANDA, they are much better than the banks, and the transaction fees are less. If you don't need to exchange the currency immediately, you can put in your own bids and potentially get better rates from other CurrencyFair users.
Below $1000, XE Trade (also listed by user6714) has exchange rates that are almost as good, but also offers EFT transfers in and out, which will save you wire transfer fees from your bank to send or receive money to/from your currency broker. The bank wire transfer fees in the US can be $10-$30 (outgoing wires on the higher end) so for smaller transfers this is a significant consideration you need to look into; if you are receiving money in US, ING Direct and many brokerage accounts don't charge for incoming wires - but unless you have a commercial bank account with high balances, expect to spend $10-$20 minimum for outgoing. European wire transfer fees are minimal or zero in most cases, making CurrencyFair more appealing if the money stays in Europe.
Below $100, it's rarely worth the effort to use any of the above services; use PayPal or MoneyBookers, whatever is easiest.
Update: As of December 2013, CurrencyFair is temporarily suspending operations for US residents:
You would probably be better off wiring the money from your US account to your French account. That IMHO is the cheapest and safest way.
It doesn't matter much which bank to use, as it will go through the same route of SWIFT transfer, just choose the banks with the lowest fees on both sides, shop around a little.

Why Are Mammograms Performed?
A mammogram is performed to:
- Screen for breast cancer in women without symptoms.
- Detect breast cancer in women with symptoms. Symptoms of breast cancer may include a lump or thickening in the breast, nipple discharge, or dimpling of the skin on one area of the breast.
- Locate an area of suspicious breast tissue to remove for examination under a microscope (biopsy) when an abnormality is found.
- Many small tumors can be seen on a mammogram before they can be felt by a woman or her health care professional. Cancer is most easily treated and cured when it is discovered in an early stage.
Mammograms do not prevent breast cancer or reduce a woman's risk of developing cancer. However, regular mammograms can reduce a woman's risk of dying from breast cancer by detecting a cancer when it is more easily treated.
How to Prepare for a Mammogram:
If you have previously had a mammogram done at another facility, have the films sent or bring them with you to your examination. Tell your health care professional if you:
- Are or might be pregnant. A mammogram is an X-ray test with exposure to low-dose radiation and is not recommended for routine screening during pregnancy.
- Are breast-feeding. A mammogram may not provide clear results in breasts that contain milk.
- Have breast implants. Breast implants require a modified mammogram method.
- Have previously had a breast biopsy. Knowing the location of scar tissue will help the Radiologist read your mammogram accurately.
On the day of the mammogram, do not use any deodorant, perfume, powders, or ointments on your breasts. The residue left on your skin by these substances may interfere with the X-rays.
If you are still having menstrual periods, you may want to have your mammogram done within two weeks after your menstrual period ends. The procedure will be more comfortable, especially if your breasts become tender before your period starts.

After a full day on the beach and at the pool, hunger and exhaustion had set in. We didn't want to go far, but we didn't want to eat crap either. And as we experienced at a few other Daytona Beach joints...the sooner you can get there, the better. Waits are known to be up to 2 hours! Lucky for us, Caribbean Jack's was just over the river from our resort. We loaded everyone into the car and were on our way. You can see the restaurant/yacht club from the bridge, but don't let that fool you. It is difficult to find and is tucked back in behind several blocks of small concrete buildings. The information we had found in some Daytona Beach coupon book said they had free valet parking, but upon arriving we saw no such thing. By this time the main parking lot was full and we had to go across the street into the overflow lot. To our surprise, though, we were seated fairly quickly.
The Hubby and I don't especially like paying a lot for a drink but it initially seemed like everything was $8+. They did have a freaky-cool coconut that you could purchase to drink out of ($15 plus drink cost)...and although my girls were begging me...I just couldn't fork out that much money on something they would fight over anyway. You can get the kids drinks in them also but at $15 a pop x 3 kids...a big, fat, NO! was the answer they got. We did finally stumble across some great drink specials though. I opted for a Herradura Margarita for $5 which came with its own plastic shaker. The hubby opted for a rum and diet made with a local rum similar to Captain Morgan. If I remember correctly, that set him back only $4. The kids enjoyed their lemonade and Diet Coke....out of styrofoam cups with kid lids!
The Hubby wanted to start with some Peel & Eat Shrimp. These were seasoned with Old Bay and served with cocktail sauce and melted butter. They were good, but nothing special. We were starting to get a bit worried because our service had not been fabulous either. Everything was just kind of ho-hum up to this point. We were really hoping the meals we were each forking out $20 for would not be as much of a disappointment.
For our entrees, the Hubby went for Jack's Seafood Bowl which is described as sauteed shrimp and scallops in a puff pastry bowl, swimming in lobster sherry cream sauce and topped with shredded cheddar cheese. Served with island garlic bread. He absolutely loved it. I, personally, thought the price was a little stiff for the actual portion size, but he assured me that the seafood was plenty to justify it.
I opted for the Pasta Alfredo and added shrimp (you can get just the pasta, or add chicken or shrimp for an additional charge). Again, I was thoroughly disappointed in my portion size for the price. In fact, one of my kids ordered the pasta alfredo kids meal and actually got more noodles than I did. There were quite a few large shrimp though, so I guess that is how they justify it. It was good...don't get me wrong. I ate the whole thing. I just felt that everything at this place was a little pricey for what you were actually getting, especially since the service was not so hot.
Bottom line here is that Caribbean Jacks has good food. It's not gourmet, by any means, but it's good and its worth going there. Just remember that you are eating at a Daytona Beach hot-spot and the menu items are priced accordingly. Also, go early or expect to be patient. By the time we left around 6:45pm there was already a 30+ minute wait. I can't base my opinion on the service just on one guy...all I can tell you is our server was quite slow. I'm sure not all of them are that way. Overall though...I would recommend trying it at least once.

If you're a fan of Dr. Mehmet Oz's talk show, you know that Dr. Oz relishes talking about healthy foods, fitness and diets. But what you might not know: Dr. Oz has a secret weapon when it comes to how he stays energized and sleek: Celebrity trainer Joel Harper. Joel revealed his own diet tips and food favorites in a March 30 interview with Well & Good NYC.
When it comes to his clients, Joel knows how to tailor workouts and diet advice: He works with 10-year-old kids and Olympic medalists as well as Dr. Oz. What he seeks to instill in all of them, regardless of age or background: Motivation.
"I love training people who are open to learning, know how to control the noise in their heads, and don't mind doing the work. I try to get all my clients in this state."
Joel advocates foods that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates, including dairy, nuts and seeds. And when it comes to diet advice, Joel practices what he preaches:
- Beverages: Drink a lot of water, says Joel. In addition, he's a believer in the value of milk. "I love dairy and anything Organic Valley puts out. They have an amazing chocolate milk that's great for post-workout."
- Nuts: Joel emphasizes the benefits of nut butters. His favorites include Nuttzo, which comes in flavors such as Nuttzo Omega-3 Multi-Nut Butter (click for details).
- Seeds: Joel admits that he's addicted to SunButter Organic Sunflower Seed Spread. "I eat it with a banana, celery, or an apple."
- Promax bars: To satisfy his sweet tooth, Joel likes these high protein bars in flavors such as Promax LS Lower Sugar Energy Bar, Chocolate Fudge.
- Protein: Fuel your workout with protein power. Joel eats protein such as celery and Nuttzo before and after working out.
And to benefit from his fitness expertise, you don't have to live within driving distance. Joel has crafted a series of fitness DVDs, including "Joel Harper's Slim & Fit" and "Joel Harper's Firming After 50."

pediatric endocrinology
If your child has a problem with growth, diabetes, puberty or another disorder associated with hormones and the glands that produce them, he or she may need to see a pediatric endocrinologist. Hormones are chemicals that affect how children grow and mature. Endocrine glands, such as the pituitary gland, which controls growth, release hormones into a person's bloodstream.
At Bon Secours, we know that children aren't small adults — and this is especially true of endocrine systems. Children's endocrine systems are very different from adults', and our pediatric endocrinologists have received special training to deal with all kinds of hormonal problems in infants, children and teens. Our pediatric endocrinologists will work with you and your child not only to provide the best medical care, but also to make you and your child feel comfortable and secure. We'll take the time to talk with you, but more importantly, we'll take the time to listen.
Your child may see a pediatric endocrinologist if he or she has any of the following:
- Growth problems (such as short stature)
- Early or delayed puberty
- Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
- Underactive or overactive thyroid gland
- Pituitary gland problems
- Adrenal gland problems
- Ambiguous genitals
- Problems with ovaries or testicles
- Diabetes
- Low blood sugar
- Obesity
- Problems with vitamin D (rickets, hypocalcemia)
At Bon Secours, our pediatric endocrinologists will provide state-of-the-art diagnoses and treatments in a gentle, compassionate setting.

Lately the Lars family has been CRAZY! New jobs, home purchases, etc. I find it hard to make time to do any extra designing on top of my usual work load, but I couldn't resist all the adorable Autumn/Halloween digital designs that I have seen as of late. So I gathered any free downloads (HWTM!) and a few etsy purchases and created my Halloween Folder on my desktop. I had been dying to use it all when my mom decided to throw a little Fall Friday Family dinner. I went to town printing and trimming and designing. All the last minute details added to the fun, casual vibe of our get together.

System research, especially virtualization research, is a field that I am most interested in. I have been fortunate enough to spend the last eight years researching and developing in this field, and would like to take my research to a more advanced level. My work includes power management, storage and file systems for operating systems (OS), and virtualization.
In 2007, I have initiated research on system-level virtualization for virtual machine monitor for mobile devices based on Xen, and released its source code called XenARM into Xen Community
Recently, I have been focused on system level virtualization, I/O virtualization VMM for mobile platform based on XenARM VMM. In the process, I have discovered a fascination exists inside of me about this field. While partaking in various researches from OS to virtualization, I have encountered and solved many challenging problems.
In the process, my interest in the field has grown. Such experience and interests have allowed me to prepare myself to deliver solid research results during my Ph.D. tenure at the Georgia Institute of technology.Currently, I am a research member of CERCS.

UW Game Notes (at Arizona)
UW-OSU Game Set For 7:15 p.m.
SEATTLE - In the last couple days, Steve Sarkisian has been studying.
He's compared Keith Price's statistics against Stanford, Oregon and USC during his record-setting 2011 to his quarterback's three games the past three weeks against the Cardinal, Ducks and Trojans - the best of the Pac-12.
The Huskies coach's conclusion: Chicken Littles, go away.
Last season Price completed 67.8 percent of his passes against those three teams, for 445 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He was sacked 15 times in those games. UW lost all three by a combined 139-55.
This season against Stanford, Oregon and USC - behind a line with four first-year starters -- he completed 60.4 percent of his throws for 520 yards with three touchdowns, five interceptions and three lost fumbles. He was sacked nine times. The Huskies went 1-2 and were outscored 86-52 in those three tests.
"They are very comparable," Sarkisian said of the quarterbacks numbers on Monday, five days before Washington (3-3, 1-2 Pac-12) plays at rested, high-octane Arizona (3-3, 0-3).
"So I'm not nearly as concerned that the sky is falling on No. 17. I think he is going to be OK the second half of the season."
The coach chuckled at how obvious the trend was for Price in those six marquee games the last two seasons.
"What's consistent ... they got pressure on Keith," Sarkisian said. "Those teams did a good job of pressuring us and pressuring Keith, got him out of his comfort zone. And then the score kind of got away from us in some of those games. That made it difficult on Keith.
"I believe in our system. I believe in our coaches. I believe in Keith Price. And we'll be OK. We'll play pretty well Saturday."
The more progressive and important trend Sarkisian noticed: Price has evolved from being merely a playmaker to being a leader.
And not a part-time one, either. The quarterback is the undeniable captain of not only the offense but the entire Huskies' team -- in good times and in bad.
The latest example came in the emotional moments following last Saturday's 24-14 loss to No. 11 USC. Washington had chances throughout the second half to get within 24-21 and perhaps rally for a season-altering win. But Price's four turnovers and a blocked punt the Trojans returned for a touchdown doomed UW.
Afterward, Price heaped all the blame for the loss upon himself, saying "I messed it up."
And Sarkisian approved.
"I love that about him," the coach said Monday. "I think that's a sign of a great teammate, a great leader, of a quarterback that has high demands of himself but also knows and is understanding of the position that he's in.
"Some of that, of what he gives himself, is probably warranted. And some of it isn't. But at the end of the day he's the guy that's going to take the blame when things don't go great and he's going to be the guy that gives the praise to others when things go well."
Price has seven touchdown passes and six interceptions through six games.
Last season through six games, he had 21 TD throws - on his way to the record-setting 33 - and four interceptions.
He doesn't need statistical comparisons, fans or film for him to realize the better he protects the ball, the more likely his Huskies will be better than .500 over the final six games of the regular season.
"I just have to keep playing better. I say that every week - and it's just not happening for me," Price said following the USC game, in which he completed 16 consecutive passes despite getting either chased or hit or both on almost every throw.
"Mentally, it's just rough, man, being in a game like this, knowing that you had the opportunity to win the game - and, you know, I mess it up. On several occasions.
"I'll grow from this. I haven't really had to deal with stuff like this before." He gave himself the same flogging the previous Saturday after he committed three turnovers at second-ranked Oregon.
Sarkisian is not concerned about Price being so hard on himself.
To the coach, it's part of Price's authenticity.
"He's a confident kid," Sarkisian said. "He did a lot of really good stuff the other night. It's unfortunate some of the plays that standout in all of our minds are the glaring mistakes, but he did a lot of really good stuff for us that gave us a chance in that game to be successful.
"Now the ball security issue when he's running with the football is something that has to be addressed, without a doubt."
Sarkisian loves Price's guts, his unpredictability, and his creativity and resolve to make plays when it appears there are none to be made. He calls it the QB's "stinger."
"I don't want to take his stinger from him, because that is part of his game and that's the part we've all grown to love with Keith. But the ball security issue when contact is near has to be addressed," the coach said.
"I think Keith is on the right path to get back to playing the type of football he's capable of playing and we're capable of playing around him and I think he's only going to get better this Saturday at Arizona."
Price is already there as Washington's undisputed leader - especially in defeat.
"It's not as if he's pointing the finger," Sarkisian said. "It's not as if he's down in the dumps and not believing in himself. He knows he's a good football player.
"And we're going to be a good offensive football team -- sooner than later."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: Two weeks after facing Oregon's go-go Ducks, pace and conditioning are again the themes for UW's defense. New Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez has the Wildcats' offense playing at a break-neck pace. "They both operate at extremely high tempos," Sarkisian said. "Arizona, really, I think the goal is to run about 100 plays a game, which, if you look at it, USC ran 60 plays last week, we ran 58. So imagine playing two games, (that's) what it's like when you play Arizona. ... I don't know if they're as multiple as Oregon, but they might even be faster in how many reps they try to get within a game." ... Keep an eye on the first quarter Saturday in Tucson. Sarkisian stressed playing with more urgency from the opening kickoff during a team meeting after USC. "Yeah, we talked about that (Sunday) as a team: Why, why, oh why do we have to spot our opponents 21 two weeks ago and 10 last week," the coach said. "Really early on in those games, in my opinion ... maybe we're a bit too emotional. Maybe we're concerned about some things outside of us and not really focused on the task at hand. And that's that play." ... The conference announced the Oct. 27 home game with Oregon State will kick off at 7:15 p.m. and be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

Artist Catherine Weitzman used real branches for her casting molds for these delicate Starfish and Bird Lockets, ($150-160) for a beautifully organic effect. In the Starfish locket, sterling silver branches encircle a glass pendant containing free-floating aquamarine gems and a gold vermeil starfish, reminiscent of a tide pool. The Bird locket features gold branches forming a nest around the glass pendant of rubies and a gold vermeil swallow. Each comes on a 18" chain, and would make a thoughtful gift for a treasured friend. [Thanks, Sara!]

The Memphis Police
Department's mission is to protect the public safety of all citizens of Memphis, but our officers can not do it without the eyes and ears of you - the community.
The following tips will help to make you and your family safer while also showing you how to become a part of the MPD Team - so that we may serve and protect Memphis - our community - together.
At home
- Protect your residence
Are you being monitored?
On vacation
- Don't get tripped out!
Are you involved?
- Join Neighborhood Watch
Out on the town
Don't lose your ride!
You make the call!
- Be our eyes & ears
Business solutions
- Join Business Watch
Getting personal
- It's a ?need to know? thing!
-What do you do now?
Are you being served?
What is Tel-SERVE?
Want some cash?
? Call the MPD's CrimeStoppers
At home?
Lock your doors and windows when leaving your residence. Most residential burglaries occur during the daytime. Know who is at your door before opening it. Screen doors and chain locks provide false security. Obtain identification. If they show you an ID for a service company (i.e.Cable, phone, etc.)call their employer and verify who they are and why they are at your door. Consider installing peepholes in all entryway doors. Mark your property with your Driver License number, that way it can be traced ONLY to you if it is stolen.
Remember the three L's of Crime Prevention:
LIGHTS, LOCKS & the LAW!
Light up your residence, lock your doors at all times, and call the Law when you see something suspicious
Back to top
Prior to installing home-security devices - think fire safety first. Would the device prevent you from getting out of your home? Do you have pet doors? They provide entry for pets, but they may also provide entry for criminals. Privacy fences give you privacy, but they also give the criminal concealment from outside view. Secure your garage door, even when you are at home. Burglaries and thefts take minutes or even seconds to commit.
DON'T open your door until you know who is there. When you are not home, leave lamps on timers and consider leaving a radio or television on. Consider leaving porch lights on at night. LIGHTING is one of the most INEXPENSIVE crime deterrents. Secure your keys and keep them out of view. NEVER place identification tags on your key rings. Treat your garage door opener like your keys. NEVER leave your garage door opener inside a vehicle which is parked outside. Keep trees and shrubbery trimmed for better visibility. Keep windows clear and free of shrubbery and debris. Overgrowth may provide hiding places for criminals.
Back to top
On vacation
When leaving town, have a trusted friend or neighbor take care of your home. NEVER cancel general deliveries such as mail, milk, newspapers and other services when leaving town or going on vacation. But don't let those newspaper deliveries pile up either. If you will be away for an extended period arrange to have a neighbor cut your lawn. If you can, also have them move your car in the driveway so it appears you are still coming and going as usual. And NEVER leave your porchlight on ONLY when you go on vacation. This tells a thief come on in...we are on vacation!
Back to top
Are you involved?
Know your neighbors. Consider forming a Neighborhood Watch Group in your neighborhood. Join your Precinct's Citizen's Police Academy. Contact our Crime Prevention Bureau for more information. Their number is 774-6705.
Back to top
Out on the town
Remove your keys and lock your doors when leaving your vehicle. It only takes seconds to steal a locked car without the keys - why make it easier for a thief by leaving the keys in the car? And NEVER leave extra keys inside the vehicle or under the hood. Secure your valuables in your trunk or take them with you. Don't create temptation by leaving valuables within view inside your vehicle. When returning to your vehicle at night, be aware of your surroundings. Look underneath and inside your vehicle before entering.
Back to top
You make the call!
The MOST important thing YOU can do is CALL THE POLICE to report a CRIME or any SUSPICIOUS activity. You have to be the eyes of your neighborhood. And remember you can always remain a pair of anonymous eyes!
Back to top
Business solutions
Although most of these tips apply to homeowners, businesses can apply them to their anti-crime effort, too. The Memphis Police Department offers a program similar to Neighborhood Watch called Business Watch - Call Crime Prevention for more information at 774-6705.
Back to top
Getting personal
Stay alert by being aware of your surroundings.
Walk everywhere with a sense of purpose - show you are calm, confident and know where you are going.
Go with your gut feelings - if you feel uncomfortable, leave.
Carry your purse firmly and close to your body or better yet leave it at home and only carry what you need in your pocket - such as a small amount of money, keys, and maybe one credit card.
Keep your wallet in an inside coat or side trouser pocket.
Have your car or house key in your hand as you approach the door. If attacked use those keys as weapons!
Park in well-lighted areas that will be well-lighted when you return. Be sure to lock your car doors. If you jog, do not jog alone in isolated areas.
Do not hitchhike and never pick up hitchhikers.
Only list your last name and first initial in the phone book and on mail boxes.
Ask the phone company to not list your address in the book.
If you are concerned about crime and must go out, use the buddy system. Take a friend on that jog around your neighborhood. You'll both benefit from it!
Back to top
Remain calm. Try not to panic or show any signs of anger or confusion.
If the attacker is after your property, don't resist. That watch, car, money - whatever is replaceable - YOU ARE NOT!
Don't escalate this crime into a violent encounter. But NEVER let your assailant take you to another location. Your chance of survival is slim.
Make an effort to get an accurate description of your attacker: age, sex, race, complexion, body build, height, weight, type and color of clothing.
Call the police immediately, identify yourself and give your exact location. Do not leave the scene.
When you call 911 you will be asked several questions by the Call Taker. Be patient. While your are answering their questions they are keying in your information and dispatching the next available car. Any information you can provide to the dispatcher may help the officer en route to your call with apprehending the suspect.
Be ready to provide the following information:
Your Name
Phone Number
What Happened? Describe the event in as brief manner as possible.
When Did it Happen? Tell if the crime is in progress or when it occurred.
Who Did It? Name or describe the suspect or vehicle, if there is one.
Where Did They Go? Which way and how did they leave?
Wait for the officer to arrive or to call you back. The time it takes for an officer to arrive will depend on many factors. All of our calls are prioritized by emergency status. A theft of a lawn mower may be aggravating but it is not an emergency.When the officer arrives she may ask you questions similar to those asked earlier. Please be patient so the officer can help you.
Back to top
Are you being served?
In many situations it is unnecessary for an officer to come to you. Our Tel-Serve Bureau is designed to take non-emergency reports over the phone - this allows patrol officers to remain on active patrol. In the past, they have spent valuable patrol time taking reports where there was no suspect information. Call Tel Serve at 543-2774 to report non-emergency crimes. A Call Taker will take your information over the phone and file your report.
