Latest update September 26th, 2016 12:12 PM

Here is a blog post to add to the festive joy this Chinese New Year.
In Singapore we have the giant
worm snake at Chinatown which everyone here seems to be taking picture of and sharing on their Facebook or other social media channels (I know cos I keep seeing it pop up again and again on my own social media feeds):
In Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, the Sydney Opera House was lit in red on 10 Feb 2013 to mark the start of Chinese New Year.
New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell said turning one of the world's most recognisable buildings red was a tribute to the contribution Chinese-Australians have made to Sydney, New South Wales and Australia.
"We have a long history and strong friendship with China and its people," said Mr O'Farrell, who was joined at the event by H.E. Duan Jielong, Consul General (ambassadorial rank) of the People's Republic of China in Sydney and New South Wales Minister for Citizenship and Communities, Victor Dominello.
"Chinese-Australians have been played a huge part in Sydney's history from the earliest immigrants arriving here in 1827 to today where more than 378,000 Chinese-Australians call New South Wales home.
I am delighted to turn on these red lights on the world famous Sydney Opera House to mark the arrival of the Year of the Snake.
I am sure these images will be of interest to millions of people across China. New South Wales is already a popular destination for Chinese tourists and students and we look forward to welcoming many more Chinese to Sydney and our state this year."
I am always fascinated by the interesting architectural shape of the Sydney Opera House and have enjoyed the lighting up of the icon building with Vivid Sydney – an annual event to colour Sydney with creativity and inspiration, transforming the city into a spectacular canvas of light, music and ideas.
Once again, happy Chinese New Year everyone!
Here's a large coat of red from Sydney Opera House to spread the luck for all overseas Chinese around the world:

To the Editor.—Rattner et al1 have stated that "mucosal abnormalities have been described only in adults," suggesting that choledochal cysts in children might represent a different pathologic entity from those found in adults.
Our review of 19 cases of choledochal cysts in children reported that the cyst walls "showed fibrous tissue, fragmented elastic fibers and scattered inflammatory cells within granulation tissue. Epithelium was absent or only present as focal remains."2 In this series, infants younger than 1 year of age had associated atresias of the common duct, cystic duct, and gallbladder, suggesting that these patients had a congenital malformation or a perinatal noxious insult. The older children had associated malformations of the pancreatic and common duct junctions, suggesting acquired lesions secondary to this malformation.

As a photographer, I need exclusive ownership of my work. After some extensive research I found out about this firm called Levy, Levy & Sosa in Miami. I decided to set up a consultation to meet with their attorney and I'm sure glad I did. They assisted me with applying for copyright registration, the process was so simple and they guided me along the way, explaining in ways that were easy to understand. I encourage you to contact them on 1-800-464-5554 or visit their website http://www.trademarklaw101.com/practice-areas/copyright/ to secure your work!

PORTAGE — A new Portage company launched Wednesday hopes to convince industrial companies across the Midwest that their waste is valuable.
And along the way, if Pro Renewables Inc. is successful, it could create hundreds of Southwest Michigan jobs, company officials said during a Wednesday press conference.
The company, formed by Grand Rapids investment firm Windquest Group and Portage-based mechanical contractor Pro Services Inc., has exclusive Midwest rights to sell a machine that turns waste heat from industrial processes into electricity."This venture was formed in response to a real opportunity," said Dick DeVos, a backer of Pro Renewables. "About two-thirds of the energy of fuel burned (by U.S. industry) is lost as heat. That's enough to power the entire country of Japan."
DeVos, the former Republican gubernatorial candidate, and his wife Betsy are owners of Windquest Group. The investment firm is a shareholder in ElectraTherm Inc., a Reno, Nev.-based company that manufactures the waste-heat-recovery systems, nicknamed Green Machines.
Green Machines, according to ElectraTherm Vice President Bill Olson, could save a large industrial company up to $42,500 in electricity costs a year. And the cost of purchasing a machine on average would be paid off in three to four years, he said.
"It prints money," Olson said. And the potential gain in electricity generation increases with each machine a company decides to link together.
Pro Renewables, which will be based in Portage and expects to employ between 15 and 20 workers in the next six months, will market the machines to chemical, food-processing, paper and pharmaceutical companies, said Chris Schauer, chief executive officer of Pro Services.If sales take off as anticipated, Schauer said, Pro Renewables could eventually employ "hundreds."
There are "dozens and dozens" of potential customers just in West Michigan, said Mike VandeMaele, president and owner of Pro Services Inc.
Pro Services will be contracted to install and service the Green Machines, VandeMaele said.
The machines work by taking advantage of the heat in waste liquids created through many industrial processes, Olson said. The heat is used to turn a special liquid into pressurized vapor, which turns a generator and creates electricity.
Green Machines require no additional power and create no emissions, Olson said.

"This is about an economic solution that is also an environmental solution," DeVos said. "That's good business. This is the kind of technology we can leverage in this state to make us better at what we are — we're an industrial state."
Asked whether production of Green Machines might be moved from Nevada to Michigan, DeVos said, "I can guarantee you this, that if Michigan becomes one of their primary locations for installations that's going to be our most compelling argument … for them to start to manufacture here."

1 Samuel 3:1-10; John 1:43-51; Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18
I don't carry a beeper or a cell phone. The services of professional biblical scholars rarely require that level of immediate access. No emergency calls to interpret an obscure passage. No rushing to the scene of a textual corruption. Yet it could happen. We are rapidly becoming a society "on call." Technology provides us with a constant flow of information.
Isaiah 49:1-7; John 1:29-42
When members of my family introduce someone, they always give that person an automatic promotion. If she's a doctor, they will exaggerate, introducing her as a brilliant surgeon. A teacher's aide becomes a full professor. I am told that I do the same thing, even after ten years of living in New England, the land of understatement.
1 Sam. 3:1-20; John 1:43-51
I was watching a PBS series on the Book of Genesis with a dozen older women at a retirement home. The segment dealt with Abram, and how he responded promptly when the Lord said to him, "Go." We listened as Lewis Smedes wondered aloud whether a tape recorder would have picked up a real "voice" of the Lord back then.

Tormag's post helps to emphasise my above point (re: subtleties of existence), in that I don't disagree with anything in the post. Yet I have no qualms in stating unequivocally that the other position is also correct. I love cake!

I like the advice of doing max reps and landing between 20-30 reps.
I will stop by the gym tomm and do the max # reps with the 60lbs and see what I can do.
If I can do 30+, I will buy the 70lbs one.
I can can't even do 20, I will drop to 40-50lbs.
I will basically buy the weight with which I can do 30.
I think that's a safe bet.,
Sounds good. BTW, I have bought 4 bells myself. Started with a 50, then a 35, also bought a 20 and a 25. Eventually I plan on buying matching bells for each weight and a 70. I do my swings with the 50, most of the other moves with the 35. The 20 and 25 were bought with my wife in mind, but she hasn't touched them. I started to the Viking Warrior snatches with the 25. Doing 20 minutes of 15 x 15 averaging 8 snatches per 15. VW is plan killer and nothing shreads fat faster.....
I Kettlebell therefore I am.
My Journal
My Journal
Before I did the true VW snatches, I applied the concept to swings, and did swings doing the 15 x 15.
I Kettlebell therefore I am.
My Journal
My Journal
There are always conflicting views of the "right way" to do things. Guess like everything else in life, people need to pick who and what they follow and feel is best for them.
I used a kettle bell for the first time yesterday with my conditionning, kicked my ass 20 swings with a 12kg.
After the seminar, it's now your responsibility as the learned trainer to go and figure out how to get the client's faulty movement patterns working correctly first so that they can use the specific tool that you are showing them. If you use the same short cut that is being used in a seminar while teaching (supposedly) athletic, strong and physically fit trainers with your clients, you are mixing a recipe for disaster. Like I said in my first post, be the better trainer and learn why the client has faulty movement patterns instead of overloading the client to bypass the already apparent instability.
I would say the exact same thing to someone who was training with the rip trainer, TRX, bosu, swiss ball, ViPR, or pick up sticks. The value of learning why vs training for over compensation is invaluable.

I used the 60 lb. KB today.
I was just able to do 30 on the first set.
I then did 4 more sets of 15 (with 1 min. of rest between each set.)
Maybe I could have gotten 1-2 more but the form was JUST starting to slip by 14-15.
What do you think?
I think this is a good weight and will buy the $77 one from WalMart.

Kittie Original Lineup Reunion Would Only Be for a Few Shows
Last week, Kittie posed a bit of a philosophical question to fans via their social media networks. The ladies asked if their supporters would be interested in seeing the band play its debut, 1999′s 'Spit,' which was easily their most commercially successful album to date, with the original lineup. Seems like a no brainer, right?

Should I Tell My Friend What I Heard About Her New Boyfriend? – Daily Dilemma [AUDIO]
This is a dilemma I think everyone has been on one side of, or the other. If you hear, or know something about your friend's significant other, that may possibly hurt them, do you tell them or do you just keep it to yourself? I can understand both arguments on this one but I always fall back on, stay out of it. How do you feel about it?
Here is what our listener wrote to us:"After a couple of bad relationships, my friend recently met a new guy and they hit it off immediately. I have not seen her so happy in a long time. Here's the dilemma — I recently found out from a different friend, who knows this guy much better, he may not be the catch my friend thinks he is. He's not a criminal or anything, but I can definitely see where there could be some things she should be wary of. Should I keep my mouth shut and let her be happy or as a friend, should I have a duty to tell her what I heard about him?"
If you have a comment on this dilemma I'd love to hear it, just post it in the comments section below. If you want to send us your dilemma, please e mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Listen for the "Daily Dilemma" every weekday morning at 6:40 am , on the Sean and Richie Show. Here is how the listeners tacked today's issue.

Bopara shines at Headingley
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Ravi Bopara enhanced his prospects of featuring in England's first Test against West Indies with a glorious century, but Yorkshire were still firmly in control against Essex at Headingley Carnegie.
Bopara, playing for the first time this season, compiled a masterful unbeaten 117 to spare his side's blushes and steer them to a total of 199 in response to Yorkshire's 246.
The White Rose, though, extended their lead from 47 to 191 as they reached 144 for two at stumps, England Lions opener Joe Root hitting 67.
Bopara was on 26 and James Foster nine when Essex started the day on 72 for five - still 164 in arrears.
Both took boundaries off Ajmal Shahzad, who was sharp but erratic, but Ryan Sidebottom ended the stand on 107 by having Foster caught at second slip.
Yet Bopara was looking well set and upon Shahzad's return to the attack, produced a glorious cover-driven four to reach his half-century off 117 balls, with eight boundaries.
Phil Jaques then dropped a difficult chance to dismiss the stylish batsman at third slip, and Bopara made full use of his reprieve.
After Shahzad castled David Masters, Tim Phillips - batting with a runner because of back spasms - hung around for 43 deliveries to make seven before being caught at point off Sidebottom.
Maurice Chambers was lbw driving at the left-arm seamer, but once again Yorkshire found themselves unable to polish off an innings and Bopara successfully nursed Tymal Mills through a stand of 48, to which the last man contributed just two.
Although batting with care, Bopara wasted few scoring opportunities and, after gliding a leg-side ball from Shahzad for four, moved to three figures - from 201 balls - with an on-drive.
The stand only ended because Bopara, in attempting to retain the strike, drove Anthony McGrath too hard to Patterson at mid-on and set off for a single, Mills proving unable to beat the fielder's throw to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow.
Root and Joe Sayers made a slow start for Yorkshire, but, once 50 had been reached in 18 overs, began to go for their shots as the former, in particular, impressed with the quality of his driving.
A cheeky reverse sweep took him to his fifty, and a glorious cover-drive off Chambers made it a century stand, of which Root had contributed 66.
He was caught down the leg side by Foster off Greg Smith with the score on 106, after which progress slowed. Jaques fell for 18, lbw sweeping at Tom Westley, but skipper Andrew Gale signalled his intentions by on-driving his second ball for six.
That was the skipper's only scoring shot as he took Yorkshire to the close alongside Sayers, who had made 45.

"Occupy" movement moves to rooftops17. November 2011 | Global PV markets, Markets & Trends, Applications & Installations | By: Jonathan Gifford
While the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, protesting against financial injustice, has spread to many cities in the U.S., Europe and even China, a global "Occupy Roofs" solar initiative is being launched out of California.
Photovoltaic "crowdfunding" organization Solar Mosaic is planning the initiative for this Sunday, 21 November. Solar Mosaic spells out what it's asking people to do on its website:
"1) Find a building where you want to see solar in your hood, 2) gather an all star community solar team, 3) snap a picture in front of your dream community solar project and send it to theteam(at)solarmosaic.com."
Solar Mosaic will then try and accumulate the funds needed for the installation.
Crowdfunding solar
The crowdfunding principal underpinning Solar Mosaic's approach is that individuals can contribute towards a solar installation on a public, community or NGO-owned building. The contributor is then paid back his or her investment, as the installation pays for itself, and then future profits fed back into the next project, and so on.
Crowdfunding itself has flourished in the U.S. and elsewhere. Pioneering crowdfunding website Kickstarter now claims that it raises millions of dollars per week, from tens of thousands of contributors, to fund projects such as art installations, documentary films and novels.
Solar Mosaic has taken this model and applied it to solar. Each unit of investment into a photovoltaic project is called tile. Solar Mosaic co-founder Daniel Rosen explained recently to CNN, "The tile is really how we brand the shares of these projects. So all the tiles come together to make a mosaic, a solar installation."
At present each tile costs USD$100, but Solar Mosaic plans to expand this allowing different levels of investment in the future.
Occupy roofs
This weekend's campaign is officially called Community Solar Day and is a truly global initiative. Groups have formed on seven continents and while the aim is not to physically occupy rooftops, the movement hopes to change people's perception of photovoltaics.
On its site, Solar Mosaic says the initiative can create, "Clean energy created for the people." Arguing that an investment into a community photovoltaic project is as safe as a low-interest bank account, the group hopes to convince sufficient investors of this.
One of Solar Mosaic's completed projects is a 28.8 kilowatt installation in Oakland, California. Located on the roof of the Asian Resource Center building, the installation will save the center $112,684 over the lifetime of the lease.
While founded by online entrepreneurs, Solar Mosaic has Sungevity co-founder Alec Guettel and SunEdison's Jigar Shar as advisors.

Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland Celebrates His First Full Year Off Drugs
"People said it could never happen," says Weiland, who admits he shared their doubts. "I knew I needed to be sober for years. But I didn't want it enough."
"If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said, 'No way,' " says STP bass player Robert DeLeo. But now, says his guitarist brother Dean, "it's just nice to see the path that Scott's chosen for himself. I'm really happy for him. And his sobriety carries on to extracurricular activities, you know? Such as our little band."
The band, which folded in 1996 as a result of Weiland's repeated dalliances with alcohol, heroin and cocaine, is back with a vengeance. STP's 1999-album, No. 4, has gone gold, and on July 30 the band embarked on a nationwide tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. "Scott has never sounded better," says the band's manager Steve Stewart.
Yet Weiland sounds regretful as he traces the roots of his drug addiction. Raised in rural Chagrin Falls, Ohio, by his mother, Sharon, a real estate agent, and stepfather David Weiland, now a manager at Lockheed Martin, he started drinking casually at parties in the seventh grade, soon graduating to pot. "It was just playful experimentation," Weiland says. At 16, a year after the family moved to Huntington Beach, Calif., Weiland formed his first band and tried his first narcotic: cocaine. A six-week stint in drug rehab didn't cure him. Even after he teamed with the DeLeo brothers and drummer Eric Kretz to form Mighty Joe Young in the mid-'80s (they renamed themselves Stone Temple Pilots in 1992), Weiland's drug cravings intensified. "I had flirted with everything," he says. "But I hadn't found my thing yet."
That thing was heroin, which he tried for the first time while on tour in 1993. "I felt like it filled a hole that had always been there," says Weiland, but his erratic behavior, well-publicized drug busts and failed rehab stays alienated his bandmates, and they called it quits. "We didn't work for three years," says Dean DeLeo. "It wasn't about the band. It was about Scott being alive at the end of the week."
In October 1997, Weiland, who had been wed briefly at 27, ran into an old girlfriend, Mary Forsberg, at an L.A. rehab center. They moved in together, and soon she was sharing his heroin habit. Intermittently sober, he began recording with the band again last year. But after OD'ing on methadone last summer—his third probation violation since 1997—he was sentenced to a year in prison. "Scott's going to jail was the best thing that ever happened to us," says Forsberg, who kicked her own habit when he was sentenced. She was there to pick him up on Dec. 30,1999, when Weiland, having completed a drug rehab program behind bars, was paroled.
In mid-January—six months sober—Weiland proposed. And on May 21, at the Little Door restaurant in Hollywood, the couple wed. "I've known Scott for probably 15 years," recalls one guest, Dean DeLeo, "and this is the best man I've known in that time." Now awaiting the birth of their first child on Nov. 27, the Weilands curl up in their stylish two-bedroom apartment in L.A. and watch A Baby Story on the Learning Channel. Only last year the couple would have been partying till dawn. But both say they don't miss the bad old days. "Look," says Weiland, "no one goes to school to learn how to be a rock star. There's no class you can take for how drastic your life changes. You just hope you learn from your mistakes."

case WM_COMMAND: switch(LOWORD(wParam)) { case IDC_LIST1: if(HIWORD(wParam) == LBN_DBLCLK) OnSelectItem?(); break; }This code works well but, as it gets bigger, you'll end up into a spaghetti-like code. Using a preprocessor macro would make this code more neat and easier to maintain as shown below:
COMMAND_ID_HANDLER(WM_COMMAND , IDC_LIST1 , LBN_DBLCLK , OnSelectItem?)This preprocessor macro would automatically associates the event handler OnSelectItem?(), whenever your program receives the WM_COMMAND message, the components like the resource id and notification code is already unpacked. In this case, the list box resource id is IDC_LIST1 and since it was double-clicked, a notification code LBN_DBLCLK has been received by its parent window and the associated handler OnSelectItem? would then be called. In this code, you noticed that you don't have to use nested switch/case statement like the one shown above. Using preprocessor macros makes your code clearer and easier to maintain. Good programmers should also practice good coding and good coding not only means neatness but also ease in maintaining the code as well.

In April 1710 three Mohawks and a Mahican – all members of the Six Nations of the Iroquois League which dominated what is now upper New York State – visited London on an embassy with Johannes Schuyler and Francis Nicholson representing the colonists of New York to petition Queen Anne for support in a military expedition against the French in Canada. Although the representatives were not the most powerful Iroquois chiefs – who were still smarting from a British failure to support them in 1709 – they were much lauded as Indian Kings and were the toast of London for two weeks. They had their portraits painted, were the subject of two contemporary pamphlets and were satirized by Joseph Addison in The Spectator, 27 April 1…

Robert Mannyng of Brunne (now probably the town Bourne in south Lincolnshire) wrote two works in the first decades of the fourteenth century, the religious manual/ story collection Handlyng Synne and the verse history now variously known as "Mannyng's Chronicle" or The Story of England. Both works were translated and adapted from French and Latin sources, primarily Langtoft's Chronicle and the work attributed to William de Wadington Manuel des Pechiez, but utilising other sources including Wace and Bede. Mannyng's writings represent an attempt to provide non-Latinate and non-Francophone society with access to texts which the author has enjoyed in their original form. As he states in the …

Raeda Saadeh
Palestinian. Born Umm al Fahem, 1977. Lives Jerusalem
'Who will make me real?'
Digital c-print
Museum no. E.356-2010
Art Fund Collection of Middle Eastern Photography at the V&A and the British Museum
In her photographs, videos and performances, Raeda Saadeh assumes various roles to explore issues of displacement, gender and identity, with particular reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here the artist lies in a pose that recalls 19th-century European paintings of reclining nudes. These often featured non-European women and 'Orientalist' costumes and scenery. Saadeh is encased in Palestinian newspapers, which conceal her body from neck to ankle while revealing its contours. The covering is both flimsy and apparently immobilising, resembling a papier-mâché body cast. Any sensuality implied by her pose is disrupted by the harsh realities reported in the newspaper.


text: Whenever i run my slash down the street, it is fine up to about 20 mph but once i go higher than that, then the car makes this really weird noise that sounds similar to a fork scraping on a pot. It doesn't happen constantly, just every 5 seconds or so it will do it for just half a second or so. I think it might have something to do with the rear diff because i had to take it apart and clean because sand got in there, and just sprayed wd-40 in afterwards so that might be it. That was probably a stupid idea. If that's it, does anyone know what i should put in there instead?

Bit by bit – and at an increasingly rapid pace – Buffalo is becoming a city unlike any its residents have seen in decades, if ever. Next up on the agenda of improvements is an actual park on the city's no-longer remote outer harbor.
Waterfronts developed around the time Buffalo's was were often devoted to industry, cutting cities off from a valuable resource. In Buffalo, that problem was compounded by highway construction that also separated residents from waterways that are their birthright.
Much of the industry that once occupied Buffalo's waterfront is long gone, but that land has nonetheless remained largely out of the reach of residents, as a result of political stagnation, financial hardship and environmental pollution.
Until now.
For the past couple of years, work has been under way to reconnect Western New York to its lakefront and to expand the number of reasons residents and visitors would want to go there. Faux canals are being built. Hotels and new hockey rinks are under construction. The old summertime Thursday at the Square concerts are now Thursday at the Harbor, and regularly attracting a large crowd. A new parkway was built to provide an easier trip between downtown Buffalo and the Southtowns. Pending improvements to Ohio Street will further ease travel.
All are important developments for the city's long-squandered waterfront, but they focused mainly on the inner harbor area. Now, with next month's planned opening of the yet-unnamed park, the outer harbor will begin to see development.
The 21-acre park will occupy land once used by the New York State Power Authority to stash the winter ice boom that prevents chunks of ice from floating downstream and damaging the intakes of the Niagara River power plants in New York and Ontario. The park will feature gazebos, bridges, trails and wind sculptures that rotate and sit on a mound of land on a peninsula. Another portion of that land will be reserved for private development. Sitting on Fuhrmann Boulevard and adjacent to Times Beach Nature Preserve, the park will offer views of the Buffalo skyline.
The work has actually been under way for nearly two years, since the Niagara York Power Authority transferred the land to the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. for the bargain price of $1. With that, the Power Authority was able to find a better place to store the ice boom, on the Niagara River and, more importantly, make a prize parcel of land available for a much better public use.
The development of this as yet unnamed park marks an important point for Buffalo, as does the progress on the inner harbor, stymied for a long time on the hope that Bass Pro Shops would build an anchor store that would draw visitors and other merchants to the waterfront. Buffalo is on the cusp of a change that will remake the city into a better place for residents, business and visitors. That's in everyone's interest.

THE RESTAURANT: Quaker Steak & Lube, 3535 Walters Road, Geddes. 451-9464.
CREDIT CARDS: Yes.
ACCESS TO DISABLED: Yes.
HOURS: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; until midnight Friday and Saturday; until 10 p.m. Sunday.
COST: Dinner for four, with one appetizer, four main courses, one dessert, beer, soft drinks, coffee, tea, tax and tip, was $98.98.
Steak & Lube revs up the dining fun
With flags, our pit crew signaled us to head into pit lane, bypassing neat rows of hundreds -- yes -- hundreds -- of motorcycles. OK, it was just a parking space, but it's easy to get carried away when NASCAR meets the Land of Oz, and Quaker Steak & Lube brings new meaning to the phrase "destination dining."
On a Wednesday "Bike Night," four of us enjoyed remarkably good food, easy prices and a waiter named Cody who was very much into the spirit of things.
Seven days a week, the flamboyant family restaurant points its gigantic neon "EAT" sign toward four main dining rooms filled with different motorsports themes. A centerpiece wood bar is carved with motorcycle brand names and flanked by two smaller dining rooms, and an indoor-outdoor bar with double overhead garage-style doors.
Open since April, 2008, the Syracuse Lube's franchise is one of 33 in 12 states that began in Sharon, Pa., 35 years ago, when two men bought a vacant car-service station and turned it into a restaurant.
With a simple menu and a setting with classy cars, hot rods and motorcycles hanging from the ceiling and old racing paraphernalia on the floor and walls, the concept has become a "destination location" for diners of all ages.
The Lube's white tile building with yellow, green and checkerboard-black accents uses antique-looking gas pumps for door handles, and a prize-winning kitchen boasts the "best wings in the USA," with 29 sauces with 20 degrees of heat, from mild to medium to hot to "insane." Every Tuesday is "all-U-can-eat wings."
A large, slick menu includes appetizers, salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, steaks, ribs, sides, desserts and "leaded" and "unleaded" fuel" to drink. Sharing and sampling was our plan for the evening, and we rode in with the restaurant's motto: "Time flies when you're having fun."
One of us started with a premium ice-cold beer ($4.50), and the rest sampled Old Tyme root beer ($2.50) and iced tea ($2.19).
Our "starting line-up" went for the "4-wheeler" ($13.99), "not your ordinary onion rings." The quadruple treat delivered thick, crunchy rings to be stacked high on an antenna. But when they weren't available, a large platter held rings, soft pretzels, mozzarella sticks and crispy breaded Italian dill pickles that were delicious newcomers. Marinara sauce, ranch and beer-cheese dips were good, too.
A single order of grilled boneless wings ($8.29) delivered chicken tenders marinated in one of Lube's medium sauces and served with toasted pita wedges for a nice diversion.
Two hearty "beefed-up steakburgers" were popular choices all around. A grilled patty melt ($8.29) was a juicy beef burger with American cheese, cooked onions and thousand-island dressing on thick-cut marble rye.
A turkey Swissburger ($7.59) starred seasoned turkey white meat with melted Swiss cheese on a ciabatta roll with red-pepper mayo. A side of steamed broccoli, however, had lost its steam and was under-cooked.
After a secret rub, slow roasting to fork-tender and flame-grilled until it sizzled, a full rack of baby back ribs ($17.99) was basted with a diner's choice of prize-winning sauces. Our ribs were perfectly cooked, and BBQ sauce added extra flavor, but not too much to make them messy. Easy to cut and share, they were served with crispy fries.
Beefy temptations include an 8-ounce flame-broiled flat-iron steak ($11.59), a center-cut sirloin ($14.59) and boneless rib-eye ($17.99). Children 10 and younger have six choices ($3.99) plus souvenir Lube Cruisers and sides.
"Finish-Line Desserts" wooed us to caramel-apple nachos ($4.99).Warm cinnamon apples were circled with flaky cinnamon-sugar crisps, and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream was drizzled with caramel sauce. It came with four spoons, and coffee was $1.69 each.
Professional, friendly service from start to finish added to our enjoyment of the food and the waiter's eagerness to please.
Our last surprises were warm, moist paper towels to clean our hands. With that kind of customer service, this place should be in business to stay.
Yolanda Wright's weekly Dining Out review is based on an unannounced, anonymous visit. Recent reviews are available at www. Syracuse.com/dining.

"The khans of Ferox prefer battle to politics. Or rather, battle IS their politics."
—Chrom to the Avatar
Regna Ferox (Kingdom of Felia in the Japanese version) is a kingdom in Fire Emblem Awakening, located north of the Halidom of Ylisse. Unlike the peace-loving Ylisse, Ferox is a militant nation that values strength over all things although they are still firm allies of Ylisse.
Unlike Ferox's religious neighboring countries, Ferox does not worship any sort of deity. Ferox tends to look down on formalities and diplomacy, valuing physical strength and skill above all else. To Ferox, physical prowess speaks louder than words.
Ferox has always had two rulers known as the Khans since its founding. As of recent times the nation has been run by the two most recent Khans: Flavia of the East and Basilio of the West. However, despite having two rulers, only one is in true power at a time and can supersede the other. The ruling Khan is decided in a grand fighting tournament at Arena Ferox. Every so often, the tournament is held and both Khans select an individual to be their champion. This champion cannot be a member of that Khan's family and is generally an outsider that they recognize for their strength and skill. This is to prevent blood feuds. Whichever champion bests the other in the tournament allows their Khan to be ruler until the next tournament.
Ferox's army comprises of mostly physical units. Generally these are Mercenaries, Fighters, Barbarians, and Knights.
Much like all nations of the realm, Ferox was founded during a period known as the Schism. After the fall of the Fell Dragon Grima, one of the jewels for the Fire Emblem was safeguarded by Ferox; the red jewel, Gules. According to Basilio, the jewel has been long lost during the passage of time.
Shortly before the events of Awakening, Plegia launched attacks against the Feroxi border. By masquerading as Ylissean soldiers, they had hoped to cause conflict between Ferox and Ylisse. However, Ferox quickly saw through the Plegian army's ruse. Unfortunately, this made things difficult for the real Ylissean army to request help from Ferox, as they attacked Chrom and the Shepherds upon arrival at Ferox to receive aid against Plegia.
Known people from FeroxEdit
- Flavia - The East-Khan and Ruling Khan after the events of Chapter 4
- Basilio -The West-Khan and ruling Khan before the events of Chapter 4
- Lon'qu - A Myrmidon and Basilio's former champion with an aversion for women
- Olivia - A Dancer prodigy with an unfortunate case of stage fright
- Gregor - A mature Mercenary who speaks with an unusual accent
- Raimi - Guard of the Longfort
Regna is the plural form of a Latin noun, Regnum, which translates to kingdoms. This is a reference to Regna Ferox's east and west kingdoms headed by the corresponding Khans. Ferox is a Latin adjective meaning fierce, referencing the nation's warlike nature.

Not to worry! Meagan and I invited a woman from church to come over and she taught us how to make varenyky. Ira showed us how to do it, but she did it by feel, rather than with measurements. I've found other recipes online, and I'm aware that there are different ways of making varenyky, but I like how simple and traditional this one is. It's definitely not lacking anything either - they're delicious!
Serve dessert varenyky topped with melted butter and sugar or a simple syrup. Savory varenyky are traditionally served with sour cream and/or sauteed onions. Enjoy!
Varenyky Dough
- flour
- hot water
- pinch of salt
The ratio for flour to water is approximately 4:1. Mix all together in a bowl. As you stir, it really doesn't look like there's any possible way that there could be enough water to wet all of the flour.
At this point, start squishing and kneading it together in the bowl, adding a little flour if necessary. Be careful - it's hot and sticky! Be careful not to over-knead the dough. The consistency is something like play-dough when it's finished.
When the dough is ready, cut/pull off a piece and roll it out into a log. (maybe a 1 inch diameter)
Next cut the log into uniform pieces. The bigger the pieces, the bigger the varenyky. I like small bite sized ones for dessert varieties, with something bigger and more substantial for the heartier dinner varieties.
Using a rolling pin or your fingers, flatten the pieces into round disks. Leave them relatively thick so that they can stretch around the filling.
Spoon in the filling - we used pitted cherries covered in sugar. You don't want so much filling that it explodes out the sides, but an under-filled varenyky is no fun either.
Keeping fingertips floured, fold the dough circle in half around the filling and pinch the edges closed.
While completely unnecessary, you can make fun little decorations/scallops around the edges as you pinch them shut.
Drop them one at a time into a pot of boiling water. (I would salt the water, as for pasta) Gently stir them around to keep them from sticking. When they start to float, let them cook for an additional 5 minutes. Some form of "spider" or slotted spoon is good for scooping them out of the water.

For those of us looking to satisfy our hockey withdrawal during the NHL lockout, the All-American Prospects Game last Saturday did not disappoint. Fast-paced and hard-hitting, I almost forgot I wasn't sitting at an actual NHL game.
It's hard to believe that the players are only a year or two older than me.
Just as an ordinary teenager would have to balance a part-time job with school, the top 40 American prospects who took part in last weekend's game at First Niagara Center don't catch any breaks. Many of the players are still high school age and have to get through five hours or more of schoolwork, coupled with training and games.
"You [have] just got to stay on top of both," said 17-year-old Cole Cassels, a forward for Team McClanahan, which won 5-2. "Game days you have to be ready for a test next Monday."
Tyler Motte, the 17-year-old Team Housley forward from St. Clair, Mich., also recognizes the importance of keeping up with academics despite a busy sports life.
"Academics always come first," said Tyler, the son of two teachers. "It's hard, but it's got to be done."
School isn't the only thing they have to worry about, though. A lot of players hoping to make it big have to make sacrifices to improve their game, such as moving away from home and giving up a lot of time and energy to the sport.
Cole, who made the move last year from Columbus, Ohio, to Oshawa, Ont., to pursue his career, isn't unlike many other elite hockey players. It often becomes necessary for a player to move far from home to seize opportunities, and this can be a stressful time.
However, with technology as advanced as it is, separation with family and friends has become more bearable. "I still keep in touch … there's Facebook and Skype and everything," Cole said.
Still another thing to keep in mind is the fact that the players have to look and act professional. They can't be obnoxious and goof off in public places like some teenagers do. With a lot of people keeping tabs on them, it's important to be mature.
This can be one of the tougher parts of being a rising star.
"There's always somebody watching you," said Cole. "It doesn't matter where you are; you just have to be professional about it."
"There's a lot of attention drawn to you, but I think it's more fun; you should enjoy it more than worry about it," said Tyler.
At the heart of it all, the most significant detail is that the players enjoy what they do. Hard work and dedication paid off for the 40 prospects participating in the All-American game who had an opportunity to play with the best in the nation and show off their skills to the 150 or so scouts in attendance, as well as eager fans.
"It's unbelievable, playing with 40 of the best players born in the U.S.," said Tyler. "It's an honor to be here."
"I take a lot of pride in being invited here," Cole said.
At the end of the day, the top 40 prospects in America really are like any other teenager. They go to school, hang out with friends and play their sport.
There's just a little added pressure.

After being overwhelmed by the defense of Los Osos of Rancho Cucamonga in a 47-7 loss Friday at Valencia High, O'Brien uncovered something else.
"We've got to fill the hole that was in ourselves a little bit today," O'Brien said. "I don't like the reaction we had to a quality opponent. We will face many of those in (league)."
West Ranch (3-2) got on the board with 34.5 second left in the game, when junior quarterback Connor Eichten rolled to his left and found senior tight end James McGough from 13 yards out.
Wildcats junior kicker Brady Stuart added the extra point to make the score 47-7.
Eichten finished 7-of-15 for 50 yards, while McGough led the team with two receptions for 29 yards.
"Players are going to have to look deep inside themselves and go to places inside themselves they've maybe never had to go before," O'Brien said, "and decide if, 'When I'm up against it, when I'm up against a guy who is better than I am, what is my response going to be.'"
The Grizzlies (2-3) built and early lead off the quickness of wide receiver Sean Alston and an unrelenting defense.
Senior quarterback Blake Loncar hit Alston for touchdowns of 63 and 61 yards in the first half.
The wideout finished with six receptions for 179 yards and returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown late in the second quarter.
"(Alston) verbally committed to Fresno State last week," said Los Osos head coach Tom Martinez. "He's worked hard all four years. So has Blake, so it was kind of nice to see that little combination come together."
Loncar was 9-of-11 for 219 yards before being replaced by junior Kori Grant in the third quarter.
Los Osos also got a 6-yard touchdown rush up the middle from senior Kailen Wright and a score from senior defensive end Tony Washington, who returned an Eichten fumble 10 yards to the end zone.
The Grizzlies went into halftime up 35-0.
On Washington's touchdown, Los Osos senior defensive back Garrett Tobin burst through the line and tackled Eichten to force the fumble.
"We knew we were better than our record showed," Martinez said. "You know, we just had to put it together."
The Grizzlies added a 10-yard touchdown run by junior running back Cody Rogina in the third quarter but missed the extra point.
Junior Andres Megallon kicked field goals from 28 and 42 yards out to push the lead to 47-0 with 3:34 remaining in the game.
Rogina carried the ball nine times for 58 yards.
His counterpart, West Ranch senior running back Zak Snell, finished with 11 carries for 24 yards.
Trevin Manuel rushed for 26 yards off nine carries for the Wildcats, while junior teammate Christian Sullano carried the ball twice for 29 yards.
"It's one thing to get run over by a guy who is 80 pounds heavier and stronger and faster," he said. "It's another thing to fold up, and we folded up too much."

SHEPHERDSTOWN - The Shepherdstown Battlefield has been the focus of local historical societies and preservation groups in recent years, but the site could possibly become a part of the National Park Service.
The National Park Service has prepared a study of the battlefield land and related resources, and is seeking public comment. Dependent on comments and public reception of the study, the National Park Service may make a recommendation to Congress to add the Shepherdstown Battlefield into either Harpers Ferry National Historical Park or Antietam National Battlefield.
"Now that we've completed the study, it's out for the public to review," said Tammy Stidham, chief of planning for the National Park Service's National Capital Region, who is working on the Shepherdstown Battlefield study. "The study was a special resources study that looks at historical significance, natural resources and economic uses to determine if the land meets the national criteria (for becoming a national park). The upcoming public meetings will be an opportunity for us to answer questions and get comments."
Stidham said if Congress decides the Shepherdstown Battlefield should become a part of either Harpers Ferry National Historical Park or Antietam National Battlefield, the National Park Service would still have to purchase the land.
"The park service would have to buy the land from any willing sellers," she said. "We haven't looked into the cost yet, since we're not there yet. The acquisition could happen in many different ways; through easements or donations instead of just purchases."
Two public meetings will be held on the topic in September.
The first will take place Tuesday, Sept. 9, at the Antietam National Battlefield Visitors Center, located at 5831 Dunker Church Road in Sharpsburg, Maryland. Interested citizens may call 301-432-5124 for more information.
The second public meeting will take place on Thursday, Sept. 11, at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center, located at 233 Lowe Drive in Shepherdstown. For more information about this meeting, call 304-876-7000.
Each of the meetings will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Ninety-minute presentations will begin at 5 p.m. and be repeated at 6:30 p.m.
The presentations will feature historian Thomas McGrath, author of "Shepherdstown: Last Clash of the Antietam Campaign, September 19-20, 1862," speaking about the events that took place during the battle. The National Park Service study team will present study findings and answer questions.
Written comments may be submitted online at www.parkplanning.nps.gov/SHBA or mailed to: Regional Director, National Capital Region, C/O Jordan Hoaglund-Planning, National Park Service, Denver Service Center, 12795 West Alameda Parkway, P.O. Box 25287, Denver, CO 80225.
The comment period will close Oct. 3.

Benchmarking teams and organizations
Benchmark your team or organization performance against a database of over 4,000 people from matrix, virtual and global teams.
Leaders often value the ability to benchmark their team or organization against others that operate in complex matrix, virtual and global environments. They can use this benchmarking information to drive specific, targeted improvement activities to increase the capability of their team or organization and to remove barriers to success.
Most profiles from other organizations were developed for face-to-face teams and using these to compare face-to-face teams with much more complex teams and organizations can be misleading.
Our 'teams benchmarking survey' contains responses from more than 4,000 people from some of the World's leading organizations and focuses on the challenges specific to working in matrix, virtual, international and distributed teams.
Why benchmark your performance?
- You can use our benchmarking questionnaires to identify specific areas for improvement within your team either as a stand-alone exercise or as part of the needs analysis for the design of a training workshop.
- You can also conduct 'before and after' versions of the benchmark to see how your interventions have changed the team.
- Some organizations use the benchmarking survey as an overall 'health check' exercise to identify organization wide priorities and areas for improvement.
Because the different questionnaires probe different areas of matrix, virtual and global working. We have existing skill modules in each area and can suggest specific improvement activities in any area where the survey indicates a need.
Easy to use, easy to adapt
Our questionnaires are online and easily accessible to anyone with a web browser. We can tailor the questions to add any specific issues you are interested in (with a proviso that, of course, we will not have historic data to benchmark against for unique questions).
Why not…..?
To find out how you could use our benchmarking process to improve your team or organization, please contact one of Global Integration's specialists. They'll be delighted to help.
Alternatively, there is a handy form on the right of this page (on most devices) to request more information or to contact our closest office to speak to a specialist. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Economic Equity and Gender Equality for South Africa: A New Agenda for a New Generation
In a township called Khayelitsha, a woman wakes well before dawn to catch a bus that will carry her to the beautiful home in Cape Town where her employer/boss/master wants his tea in bed by 7 a.m. That is what "post-apartheid" South Africa still looks like today.
I just returned from a remarkable month in South Africa—the country that changed my life. I've often said that I learned my theology of hope from South Africa, during the anti-apartheid struggle I was thrust into as a young man. South African church leaders invited me in years ago. I got to see and experience the costly movement for freedom in the 1980s, witness the miracle of the inauguration of Nelson Mandela's rainbow nation in 1994, and later join a wonderful reunion of South African activists, many of whom had been in exile or in prison, along with some of us international allies. So when I set out on a South African speaking and book tour 20 years after the new democracy, I didn't know what to expect.
This time, I brought my family so they could see the country that had meant so much to me. What I discovered was a new generation of South African leaders ready to define their own vocation and mission as they help build a new nation. I quickly came to understand that making a deep connection with them was the real reason that I had come back. It's tough to be in the shadow of a heroic generation of leaders like Desmond Tutu whose agenda has been the political liberation of South Africa—accomplished to the amazement of the world. On this trip, 20 years later, I saw the incredible freedom of movement now for all the former racial categories—but also how the systemic geography of apartheid was still painfully evident.
Economic inequality in South Africa is now greater than it was even during the days of apartheid, and gender violence is rampant. So these are the new agendas of a new generation: economic liberation and gender equality, with a commitment to lead on both in the churches. The rainbow of young people who turned up in such great numbers at all of our events truly want a new South Africa— a society yet to emerge.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The familiar white bread youngsters like but nutritionists don't is getting a makeover so it's healthier to eat.
A new milling process developed by ConAgra Inc. of Omaha, Neb., the nation's second-biggest flour processor, can give white bread as much fiber as a traditional whole wheat loaf, or about six times as much as conventional white bread, Agriculture Department researchers say.
"I think it's a good idea," said Cyndi Thompson, a nutrition expert at the University of Arizona and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "We certainly have a large portion of the population that are white bread loyalists."
At a time when people of all ages, and especially diabetics, are being told to increase the amount of fiber in their diets, Americans still eating five loaves of white bread for every loaf of whole wheat, the USDA says.
But it could be a few years before the new white bread hits supermarket shelves because the seeds needed are now in limited supply.
Traditional white bread has little fiber in it because the bran is removed before the wheat is ground. With the new milling method, the bran is left in but the wheat is ground fine enough so the bread will not have the taste or texture of whole grain, said Glen Weaver, director of technical services for ConAgra's flour milling division.
"What we're trying to do is have whole grain appeal to a broader consumer base," Weaver said.
American women on average consume a little more than half of the recommended 25 grams of fiber daily, the USDA says. American men average less than three-fourths of the recommended amount.
A slice of whole wheat bread has about 3 grams of fiber, compared with one-half gram for conventional white bread.
Very little of the new flour is available commercially yet because it has to be made with white wheat, not the red varieties that U.S. farmers have traditionally grown.
Red wheat is less sweet than white varieties, and it also is the wrong color. As long as the bran is removed, millers can bleach flour from red wheat to make it white. But if the bran is left in the flour, the bread will be reddish brown, not white.
There are now just 800,000 to 900,000 bushels of white wheat available. ConAgra is working with farmers to increase production of white wheat. The company needs access to at least 5 million bushels before it can provide bakers with enough flour to make production of the bread economically viable, Weaver said. Because seed is limited, he estimated that will take about two years.
USDA nutritionists tested the bread and found that it worked as well in controlling blood sugar levels as regular whole wheat bread, an important issue for diabetics.
Fiber slows the rate of nutrient absorption following a meal, reducing the rise of blood sugar levels and secretion of insulin. High blood insulin levels have been associated as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
A study published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine found that diabetics could reduce their need for medication by eating a diet containing 50 grams of fiber a day.
Fiber also is thought to aid in fighting obesity. Recent studies, however, have discounted a theory that fiber could reduce colon cancer.
Bread made from the special flour is expected to cost about the same as conventional whole wheat bread, Weaver said. Farmers are being paid an extra 15 cents a bushel to grow the white wheat, a significant premium given that wheat typically brings less than $3 a bushel.

I enjoyed Persona 3 when it came out and I have P4 on the PS2 but never got round to playing it. It's one I definitely meant to go back to but seems to of slipped through the generation net not being able to play it on PS3. I don't plan on getting a Vita, well maybe much much later.
So would I get a good grasp of the story or would I be having to pause a lot to read the majority of the important text? I watched through Deadly Premonition and will watch the P4 one but shall I play it myself first?
