EDISON - Two auto parts chain stores are facing legal troubles in New Jersey for allegedly cheating their customers.
The state Division of Consumer Affairs says that Pep Boys and Advance Auto Parts shops throughout the state were charging conflicting prices for products. An inspection of various store locations across the state found that certain items scanned at the register had higher prices than those that were posted on shelves.
The agency also accused Advance Auto Parts of not putting price labels on certain items, which is a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act.

United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit
August 19, 2013
NIZAR AL-SHARIF, Appellantv.UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES
Argued before Original Panel on June 13, 2013
Submitted Sua Sponte En Banc on August 15, 2013
On Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (D.C. No. 10-cv-01435) District Judge: Honorable Claire C. Cecchi
Thomas E. Moseley [ARGUED], Attorneys for Plaintiff-Appellant
Bradley B. Banias Timothy M. Belsan [ARGUED] United States Department of Justice Office of Immigration Litigation Michael Campion Kristin L. Vassallo Office of United States Attorney, Attorneys for Defendant-Appellee
Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, RENDELL, AMBRO, FUENTES, SMITH, FISHER, JORDAN, HARDIMAN, GREENAWAY, JR., VANASKIE, SCIRICA and VAN ANTWERPEN, Circuit Judges.
HARDIMAN, Circuit Judge.
Nizar Al-Sharif applied for United States citizenship, but his application was denied because he had been convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) determined to be an aggravated felony. Al-Sharif contested the denial in the District Court, which entered summary judgment in favor of USCIS. In this appeal, Al-Sharif argues that he is entitled to citizenship because, under our decision in Nugent v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 162 (3d Cir. 2004), his conviction was not for an aggravated felony. After oral argument before a panel of this Court, we elected sua sponte to hear the case en banc in order to determine whether Nugent remains good law. For the reasons discussed below, we hold that it does not, and will affirm the judgment of the District Court.
Al-Sharif is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. In 1992, he and others arranged to connect callers in Israel to callers in countries with no direct phone service to Israel, for a fee, by routing the calls through an apartment in New Jersey. Al-Sharif rented the apartment and set up phone service there using a false name and Social Security number. Afterwards, he abandoned the apartment without leaving a forwarding address or paying the phone bill.
As a result of this scheme, Al-Sharif pleaded guilty in 1993 to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, with a stipulation that his fraud caused a loss to the victim of between $120, 000 and $200, 000. He was sentenced to six months' home confinement and five years' probation, and was ordered to pay $128, 838 in restitution to the phone company.
In 2004, Al-Sharif applied to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. On his application, he truthfully disclosed his conviction for conspiracy to commit wire fraud.[1]As a result, his application was denied by USCIS. In the view of USCIS, Al-Sharif's conviction was for an "aggravated felony" under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i), which precluded him, under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(8), from demonstrating "good moral character, " as required for naturalization under 8 U.S.C. § 1427(a)(3). Al-Sharif sought review in the District Court, arguing that his conviction was not an "aggravated felony" for naturalization purposes. The District Court disagreed, and granted summary judgment to USCIS. Al-Sharif filed this timely appeal.
Section 1101(a)(43) of Title 8 lists several categories of offenses that are considered "aggravated felon[ies]" for immigration purposes. In particular, § 1101(a)(43)(G) makes any "theft offense (including receipt of stolen property) or burglary offense for which the term of imprisonment [is] at least one year" an aggravated felony, and § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i) makes any "offense" that "involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10, 000" an aggravated felony.[3] Although some of these categories of aggravated felonies can overlap, each category is separate from the others, and a particular conviction may constitute an aggravated felony under multiple sections of § 1101(a)(43). See Bobb v. Att'y Gen., 458 F.3d 213, 217–18 (3d Cir. 2006) (explaining that forgery can be an aggravated felony under both § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i) and § 1101(a)(43)(R)).
In his plea agreement, Al-Sharif stipulated that his conspiracy to commit wire fraud caused a loss of more than $10, 000. Nevertheless, he argues that Nugent dictates that he is not an aggravated felon because his offense was a hybrid theft/fraud offense and he was not sentenced to at least one year in prison.
In Nugent, an alien was convicted in Pennsylvania state court of theft by deception in violation of 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 3922 for passing a bad check worth $4, 831, and was sentenced to a period of six to twenty-three months' imprisonment. 367 F.3d at 163, 169. We found that the alien's offense was both a "theft offense" as defined in § 1101(a)(43)(G), id. at 174, and an offense "involving fraud or deceit" as defined in § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i), id. at 177. As a result, we held that "to qualify as an aggravated felony under the INA [the alien's offense] must meet the requirements of Section 1101(a)(43)(M)(i), loss to the victim of more than $10, 000, in addition to Section 1101(a)(43)(G), term of imprisonment of at least one year." Id. at 174–75 (emphasis added). This theory—that an alien convicted of an offense that is both a "theft offense" and an offense "involv[ing] fraud or deceit" is an aggravated felon only if he satisfies both the loss threshold of § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i) and the imprisonment threshold of § 1101(a)(43)(G)—has since become known as the "hybrid offense" theory. See Bobb, 458 F.3d at 215.
In the nine years since this Court adopted the hybrid offense theory in Nugent, we have never found another hybrid offense. See Matter of Garcia-Madruga, 24 I. & N. Dec. 436, 439 n.4 (BIA 2008).[4] Rather, in Bobb, we declined to find that an offense that was both "relat[ed] to . . . forgery, " as defined in § 1101(a)(43)(R), and "involve[d] fraud or deceit, " as defined in § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i), was a hybrid offense. 458 F.3d at 226. In doing so, we explicitly limited Nugent to "classificational schemes in which one classification is entirely a subset of another." Id. The hybrid offense theory, Bobb explained, could not apply to "separate universal classifications which intersect, but which have separate and independent elements." Id.
While our holding in Bobb reaffirmed the basic premise of the hybrid offense theory, it raised a serious question about the theory's scope. When read literally, Bobb's statement that the hybrid offense theory is "restricted to classificational schemes in which one classification is entirely a subset of another" seems to suggest that the hybrid offense theory would not even apply to § 1101(a)(43)(G) and § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i) because the classification "theft offense" is not entirely a subset of "an offense . . . involv[ing] fraud or deceit." This conclusion, and the rule that "no subsequent panel overrules the holding in a precedential opinion of a previous panel, " Covell v. Bell Sports, Inc., 651 F.3d 357, 363–64 (3d Cir. 2011) (quoting 3d Cir. I.O.P. 9.1), raised the question of what, exactly, remained of Nugent following Bobb.
Following Bobb, our Court has struggled with the applicability of the hybrid offense theory to fraud conspiracy cases, such as this one. Two panels of our Court issued not precedential opinions finding that fraud conspiracies were not hybrid offenses by analyzing the elements of the conspiracies, rather than the substantive fraud offenses. See Familia v. Att'y Gen., 507 F.App'x 234, 238–39 (3d Cir. 2012); Minaya v. Att'y Gen., 453 F.App'x 168, 173–74 (3d Cir. 2011).
In addition, no other court of appeals has adopted Nugent's hybrid offense theory. Only a handful of published opinions from our sister Circuits have dealt with the hybrid offense theory. See, e.g., Magasouba v. Mukasey, 543 F.3d 13, 15 (1st Cir. 2008); Martinez v. Mukasey, 519 F.3d 532, 539 (5th Cir. 2008); Soliman v. Gonzales, 419 F.3d 276, 280 (4th Cir. 2005). These Circuits have all avoided applying the theory by disposing of the cases on other grounds. See Magasouba, 543 F.3d at 15 ("Nugent has been restricted to classificational schemes in which one classification is entirely a subset of another. As previously mentioned, that is not the case here." (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)); Martinez, 519 F.3d at 539 ("Our court has not decided whether an offense may properly be characterized as a hybrid fraud/theft offense, which must meet the requirements of both subsections (G) and (M)(i)."); Soliman, 419 F.3d at 280 (4th Cir. 2005) ("Because we are able to resolve Soliman's petition for review by finding that Soliman's conviction was not for a theft offense under Subsection (G), we need not reach and address her alternative contention with respect to imputing Subsection (M)(i)'s minimum threshold requirement to Subsection (G)."). For its part, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) has declined to follow the hybrid offense theory. See Garcia-Madruga, 24 I. & N. Dec. at 440 n.5 ("That [theft and fraud may be coextensive] does not mean, however, that we subscribe to the Nugent court's holding that in such an instance the elements of both aggravated felony branches must be demonstrated." (emphasis in original)).
The Supreme Court too has recently issued an opinion casting further doubt upon the hybrid offense theory. In Kawashima v. Holder, 132 S.Ct. 1166 (2012), the Court stated that: "The language of [§ 1101(a)(43)(M)(i)] is clear. Anyone who is convicted of an offense that 'involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10, 000' has committed an aggravated felony." Id. at 1173 (emphasis added). Read literally, this statement conflicts with Nugent, as the hybrid offense theory leaves open the possibility that someone convicted of an offense "involv[ing] fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10, 000" has not committed an aggravated felony. This is exactly what Al-Sharif argues here: that, although his offense falls within the definition of § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i), it is not an aggravated felony because it is also a "theft offense" that did not result in at least one year of imprisonment.
Mindful of this history, we now overrule Nugent's hybrid offense theory because it has been rejected by other courts and conflicts with the plain language of the statute.
We do not overturn our precedents lightly. "[P]recedent is to be respected unless the most convincing of reasons demonstrates that adherence to it puts us on a course that is sure error." Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310, 362 (2010). However, stare decisis "is not an inexorable command." Payne v. Tennessee, 501 U.S. 808, 828 (1991). "[W]hen governing decisions are unworkable, " they may be overturned. Id. at 827. This is particularly true "if the precedent is particularly recent and has not generated any serious reliance interests, " Morrow v. Balaski, --- F.3d ----, 2013 WL 2466892, at *16 (3d Cir. Jun. 14, 2013) (en banc) (Smith, J., concurring), or if the precedent has "sustained serious erosion from our recent decisions, " Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558, 576 (2003).
Here, the hybrid offense theory "has not generated any serious reliance interests." In the nine years since we have adopted it, it has been applied by no Court of Appeals, including our own. Rather, it has "sustained serious erosion from . . . recent decisions." We have greatly limited its applicability, see Bobb, 458 F.3d at 226, the BIA has declined to follow it, see Garcia-Madruga, 24 I. & N. Dec. at 440 n.5, and the Supreme Court's dicta in Kawashima has cast substantial doubt upon it. See IFC Interconsult, AG v. Safeguard Int'l Partners, LLC, 438 F.3d 298, 311 (3d Cir. 2006) ("[W]e pay due homage to the Supreme Court's well-considered dicta as [lighthouses] that guide our rulings.").
On its merits, the hybrid offense theory cannot easily be reconciled with the text of the statute. "[W]hen [a] statute's language is plain, the sole function of the courts—at least where the disposition required by the text is not absurd—is to enforce it according to its terms." Sebelius v. Cloer, 133 S.Ct. 1886, 1896 (2013). The language of § 1101(a)(43) is plain. Each of its subparagraphs lays out a separate aggravated felony and there is no indication in the statute that an offense must satisfy multiple subparagraphs in order to be an aggravated felony. Thus, an offense that "involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim exceeds $10, 000" is an aggravated felony under § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i) regardless of whether it also meets the requirements of some other subparagraph. As the Supreme Court recently emphasized in Kawashima: "The language of [§ 1101(a)(43)(M)(i)] is clear. Anyone who is convicted of an offense that 'involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10, 000' has committed an aggravated felony . . . ." 132 S.Ct. at 1173 (emphasis added). The hybrid offense theory conflicts with the Supreme Court's textual interpretation insofar as it implies that at least some fraud offenses with losses exceeding $10, 000—namely, those that are also theft offenses and for which the offender was not sentenced to at least a year of imprisonment—are not aggravated felonies.[5] Therefore, we now overrule that theory.
Having held that Nugent is no longer the law of this Circuit, we hold that Al-Sharif was properly deemed an aggravated felon under § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i). Wire fraud is clearly an offense "involv[ing] fraud or deceit, " see Doe v. Att'y Gen., 659 F.3d 266, 274–75 (3d Cir. 2011), and Al-Sharif's plea agreement stipulated that he caused a loss of between $120, 000 and $200, 000—well in excess of the $10, 000 threshold for a fraud to be considered an aggravated felony. Thus, Al-Sharif's offense was an aggravated felony and the District Court properly entered summary judgment in favor of USCIS.
Al-Sharif raises two additional arguments, but neither is persuasive. First, he argues that the 1996 aggravated felony definitions, which reduced the loss threshold at which fraud becomes an aggravated felony, do not apply to him. We rejected a nearly identical argument in Biskupski v. Attorney General, 503 F.3d 274 (3d Cir. 2007), where we held that the 1996 aggravated felony definitions applied retroactively to crimes committed before 1996, so long as the "orders or decisions of the [immigration judge] or BIA which apply the 'aggravated felony' definitions" were issued after the 1996 amendments. Id. at 283. Here, USCIS denied Al-Sharif's naturalization application in 2009, long after the 1996 amendments took effect. Although USCIS and not an immigration judge or the BIA was making that determination, our reasoning in Biskupski still applies because, until USCIS issued a final decision, Al-Sharif "remain[ed] the subject of administrative adjudication and ha[d] not established any right to the benefit he [wa]s seeking to obtain by his application." Id. (internal quotation mark and alteration omitted).
Second, Al-Sharif argues that the rule of lenity, which requires courts to "constru[e] any lingering ambiguities in deportation statutes in favor of the alien, " see INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, 480 U.S. 421, 449 (1987), applies to him. However, 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43) is unambiguous. Section 1101(a)(43)(M)(i) is clear that an offense that "involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10, 000" is an aggravated felony. Therefore, Al-Sharif is not entitled to relief under the rule of lenity. See Kawashima, 132 S.Ct. at 1175–76 (declining to apply rule of lenity because § 1101(a)(43)(M) was "clear enough"); Muscarello v. United States, 524 U.S. 125, 138–39 (1998) (rule of lenity only applies if there is a "grievous ambiguity or uncertainty in the statute").
For the foregoing reasons, we hold that the hybrid offense theory of Nugent no longer remains good law and the District Court did not err when it held that Al-Sharif was not entitled to citizenship by virtue of his 1993 conviction for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Accordingly, we will affirm the judgment of the District Court.

ALBERT C. BURGESS, JR, PETITIONER,v.ERIC HOLDER, RESPONDENT.
Petitioner Albert C. Burgess, Jr. has petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus to issue to Respondent Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States. See Pet. for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1 [hereinafter Pet.]. Petitioner is currently in federal custody at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia ("USP Atlanta"). Inmate Locator, Fed. Bureau of Prisons, http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.jsp (search for Reg. No. 88539-071). Petitioner asserts that he "asking that the statute he was convicted under be declared unconstitutional" as violative of protections against double jeopardy. Pet. at 1. Petitioner does not identify which court convicted him, but he does identify the statute under which he was convicted as "28 U.S.C. § 2252A," Pet. at 1, which criminalizes certain activities relating to material constituting or containing child pornography, see § 2252A. A search of court records shows that "[o]n November 18, 2009, Petitioner was convicted" by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina "of violating 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4)(B) and 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2)," Burgess v. United States, No. 09CV451-1-MU, 2010 WL 92441, at *1 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 6, 2010), which criminalize certain activities relating to material involving the sexual exploitation of minors, see § 2252. However, the Court cannot locate any information about any conviction of Petitioner for a violation of § 2252A.
As with any civil pleading, a petition for a writ of habeas corpus must contain "a short and plain statement of the grounds for the court's jurisdiction," as well as a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(1)--(2). When considering a habeas petition challenging the constitutionality of the sentencing court's adjudication, a district court's jurisdiction depends on (1) if the sentencing court was a federal court, whether the district court was the sentencing court, see 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e), and (2) if the sentencing court was a state court, whether the state court lies within or whether the petitioner is imprisoned within the territorial jurisdiction of the district court, see id. § 2241(d). Petitioner has failed to provide any information whatsoever about what court imposed the sentence challenged in the petition, and Petitioner is not imprisoned within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. Petitioner has therefore not only failed to identify the grounds for this Court's jurisdiction, but he has also failed to give Respondent fair notice of what decision he is challenging. See Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (quoting Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957)) (requiring that a plaintiff "'give the defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests'"). The Court will therefore, in a separate order to issue this date, dismiss this case for failure to identify the grounds for this Court's jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Listen Now Download as mp3 from the show Why do we have pubic hair?
Harold asked:
Can you please explain to me how the individual 'arms' of a snowflake 'know' what is happening on the others so that they all grow to match and remain symetrical?
Kat Arney put this question to physicist Stuart Higgins...
Stuart - Well, you need a big cloud of gas and water vapour and you need the right conditions - it needs to be nice and cold. And so, at the start of a snowflake, you need a speck, you need a nucleus, so typically this might be something like the dust in a cloud and the water will start to solidify and crystallise around that nucleus. And it just so happens that the way it packs is in a hexagonal structure - a regular hexagon has a symmetry of six and so thats what gives us this kind of growing six pronged structure of the snowflake.
Kat - And are all snowflakes different? Is this true or is this a myth?
Stuart - It is true to a certain extent, so they have similar structure. So snowflakes will share this common six pronged structure due to the fact that its the packing of the water structure underneath. But what happens after that, when these arms spread out and they start to interlink and branch like tree branches, thats more dependent on the conditions, that could be the temperature and the exact pressure and all the different factors that might affect it. So, the chance of getting those two sets of conditions, to grow the same crystal in the same snowflake twice is very rare.

A Reformed Brawler Shoots for MMA Glory
Throughout his teenage and young adult years, the former leader of the Latin Syndicate racked up more than 21 arrests for, among other things, rumbling on the streets of Miami Beach, smashing the car windows of motorists who cut him off, running from the cops, and getting into shootouts with rival thugs.
On more than one occasion, he narrowly escaped death. And he is lucky he didn't land in prison for a lengthy stay.
In this week's cover story, I recount Martinez's journey from vicious criminal to born-again Christian MMA fighter. Check it out online later today or pick up a copy of New Times this Wednesday to find out more about the man nicknamed 'Level" because of his ability to easily knock out opponents. Until then, view video clips of Martinez's bare-knuckle brawls, after the jump.

The build-up of fat around the heart could increase the risk of people developing coronary disease and other associated heart problems, claims a new study.
Compared to high body mass index readings or waist circumference, pericardial fat is far more strongly related to these conditions, according to a paper published in the Radiology journal.
The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis sampled 183 individuals and measured ratios of artery wall thickness - which can be used as an indicator of the disease - using a cardiac MRI, along with the total volume of pericardial fat using a cardiac CT.
"Pericardial fat is located behind the sternum around the heart and we cannot see it except with CT or MRI," said Dr David A Bluemke, director of radiology and imaging sciences at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Care.
He added that the fat build-up "further promote[d] coronary artery plaque", a key causer of the disease, particularly among men. Weight gain or patient obesity could accelerate this accumulation.
Meanwhile, research published in the Lancet last week found that among women, smoking seemed to increase the chance of developing heart disease over men by 25 per cent.

We really enjoyed this recipe, I did add some italian cheese blend on and melted it on top with some fresh basil....

Everytime I watch Casablanca I lament the lack of a Rick's in real life. So elegant, so Old World, so classy, so romantic.
The pianist is playing Mozart?s Rondo alla Turca downstairs and the music sifts through the smoke as it rises to the mezzanine on the third floor, reaching us like a dream, hushed and exotic.
The mayor of Moscow routinely brings his guests here. President Clinton and President Nixon have been entertained here. Pushkin Caf?, housed in a mansion decorated in the style of the early twentieth century, is widely considered Moscow?s classiest and best restaurant.
The music alternated between piano, violin, clarinet and the harp throughout the evening. Two statues of the Egyptian goddess Baath, a slim black cat with a golden collar, greet guests on the second floor and overlook the staircase. The second and third floor resemble an Old World private library, with antique telescopes, globes, and a bookcases reaching from the second to the top of the third floor. After our starters, I pulled down a book. It was all in French, but the copyright was 1862.
The Russian tradition of after-dinner toasts alone is worth the trip: the host orders everyone a shot of ? what else? ? Russian vodka and begins the toasts by making a short speech about the guest of honor. The first toast used to go to Stalin, but he has since fallen from favor. The toasting does not stop until everyone at the table has ordered a round of shots and made his or her own eloquent (and usually increasingly lengthy) speech. Dinner arguments are apologized for and forgotten, and the unity of the table increases until it is necessary to part, usually at least four hours after the meal began. Russian dining is not just an amusement; it is an experience.
Favorite Dish amazingly delicate crab salad starter ? just enough to whet the reader?s appetite for the main course (I had the Turbot). The salad is topped with caviar and olives; surprisingly light and fresh but perfectly satisfying.
It's a cafe with the best view ever, facing Red Sq. and Kremlin wall....
It's a place where one can sit back to back with a Gucci model girl, famous polititian or disgraced tycoon....
It's a nice bay to sit and relax, have a cup of coffee or light lunch observing the glorious past....
nice relaxing ambiance, not cheap at all, be ready to pay at least 20$ for a glass of wine But the good one), anyway everyone knows he's paying that much for one of the best views of Moscow-great view over Moskva river, Vorobievy hills, Moscow State University and the stadiun Luzhniki, fashionable dj's are playing there and late evening in summer time it feels perfect. the evening i went there i had occasionaly my camera with me and was very happy to take a lot of pictures that i still like much..of Moscow at sunset
The interior of the restaurant looks and feels like the galley of a ship. There are aquariums which line the walls with many different species of fish in them, and nautical themes throughout. The waiters wear the uniform of a salior's mate. In one room, there are clear, plexi-glass floor, with aquariums under the floors, so that you can dine while watching fish swim underfoot. Quite interesting. The food is good. The prices quite high. A good restaurant for special occassions, but not for everyday dining.
A super cool place to hang out, a bookstore cafe and a resaturant all in one. It is spacious, great interior decoration, seems to be popular with young people. We had a great time there, relaxed atmosphere, friendlier staff than in other places we've been to in Moscow. Also the food was great, not something you usually espect in places like that (bookstore-cafe-..), prices were also below average too.
Menu is in russian only and staff spoke only russian, we managed because we know some russian, but the waitress was so kind that she called some girl from one of the table to translate when we didn't understand some words.
Favorite Dish Everything we tried was great.
We have meeting in this restaurant with old school-friends one or two times a year. Restaraunt is good and expensive.
Favorite Dish All dishes are delicious. So you can chose everything by your taste. I like to enjoy with oysters there. If you are in 5-6 person`s company , I recommend to offer also Big Sea Coctail for whole table. It`s really fine !
You can eat anything you wish. Oisters, sushi, mediteranian seafood.
Warm athmosphere. Frendly service. Beautiful two story interiere.
Favorite Dish sasimi,
seabass in the foil and salt,
fresh oisters from mediteranian sea.
There are two things about this place - breathtaking view over Moscow (better to be seen at nights) and wacky man's toilet with huge windows.
On Friday and Sunday nights the bar is fully packed (to book a table in advance would be a good idea), on other days the main crowd start to appear not earlier than 9pm.
Not much to eat there, but there are good cackes and desserts. The place also boasts good collections of wines and cigars.
From time to time really good live jazz is played there.
Cafe Pushkin is without a doubt the best restaurant in Moscow, and my favorite.
So much so, that I hesitate to even post it on these pages. The last thing I want is the restaurant to be over-run by loud, obnoxious tourists, which, did I mention, talk too loud. However, in all fairness, I have posted it here with a caveat, do not yell at the waiters, and please turn your stupid mobile phones off.
Cafe Pushkin is spread over three floors, each with their own ambiente - the Pharmacy, the Library and the Mezzanine level. They are open 24/7, but are always quite busy. It is best to make reservations if you are more than a few people.
Last time I was there, we sat beside Mikhail Gorbachev, who was looking years younger, now that he is earning good money on the international speaking circuit, and does not have to worry about running an Empire anymore.
Favorite Dish The cuisine is traditional Russian, which means wide and varied, as history has endowed Russia with Ukraine, Georgian, Uzbek and other local culinary delights, in addition to homegrown favorites.
They have a good selection of wines, which tend to be quite expensive. Expect to spend no less than $100 per person on the meal, and please give at least 10% tip to the waiters because they are good and they deserve it. This is an experience, so don't be cheap. At home, you would spend more to go to this quality of restaurant.
So go ahead and enjoy my inside tip, but please, just like the wilderness, do not ruin it for those that come after you, or unfortunately must sit beside you and ruin an otherwise perfect evening.
A very stylish place. It's better to take a guide to find it. But even if you get your target, it does not mean you'll get inside. Face control is severe, especially at week-ends. Inside you'll enjoy a beautiful interior, designed by Phillip Clark. The club is divided into two halls. The first one works as a restaurant, the second one, "Moon", - as a dance floor.
DJs play after 9 p.m.
Check out the restrooms!
Favorite Dish Everything is good
Two floor interior. Servants in national costumes.
The interior is designed in the style of an Uzbek yard with blankets and cushions, colorful carpets and clay pots. Interior reminds you of the main plaza of Hiva with old Minarets and old muslim churches. If you feel tired of that noise, you can take a rest in the atmosphere of a Sultan Harem. National Uzbek and modern music. Belly dancers.
The cooks are preparing their food on open fire.

Mayor Newell discusses downtown
PARKERSBURG – Mayor Bob Newell talked parking, traffic, the farmers market and baseball Tuesday with downtown business representatives.
About 30 people attended the Downtown Parkersburg Business Meeting at the newly renovated Point Park Marketplace where Newell went over a variety of initiatives the city has pursued or is pursuing to make the downtown area more attractive to businesses and their patrons.
"What we're trying to do is connect downtown," the mayor said. "Downtown is not just Market Street, (but) that's what we seem to focus on."
The mayor sees the marketplace, the new home of the Downtown Farmers' Market, as a potentially big draw. The facility at Second and Ann streets near the entrance to Point Park will be open Thursday through Saturday year-round starting in May, with some permanent indoor tenants in addition to the vendors who set up at the previous location at Bicentennial Park.
"We feel very confident that this is going to be a destination place downtown," Newell said.
Like the market, Newell said he hopes a prospective baseball stadium, which would serve as the home field for a minor league team as well as a venue for concerts and other activities, gets people to check out other downtown offerings. The Sixth Street area of downtown has become a favorite spot for the project, which is in the second phase of a feasibility study.
"We'll know this year whether it's a go or not," Newell said.
Charles Posey attended the meeting to hear more about the baseball stadium because he owns a facility on Depot Street that he'd like to build up for his business, Dutch Ridge Millworks.
Newell said during the meeting the goal is not to displace or demolish any viable buildings.
"I think the mayor's open to ideas," Posey said after the meeting.
The final location, Newell said, will be up to whoever's paying for the stadium.
The mayor touched on traffic issues, including plans to slow traffic on Seventh Street between Green and Market streets by adding landscaping or other barriers, which would also provide some short-term parking options.
"It really is a two-lane freeway," Newell said of the street. "It'll be a better look for one thing, but it'll also slow traffic."
The mayor said the city can provide services to help businesses, including a program in which building owners can receive matching funds up to $10,000 per address to improve their facades. With three addresses on Market Street, West Virginia University at Parkersburg received $30,000 toward its Downtown Center through the program, but Newell said the expense does not have to be that great.
"If they have 500 bucks, we'll give them 500 bucks. If they have a thousand, we'll give them a thousand," he said.
The mayor also asked downtown businesses to help out the city. He said he often gets complaints from business owners about trash or weeds on downtown sidewalks, when those sidewalks belong to the property owners and are not the city's responsibility.
"If you have a business and want to make money, I suggest you take care of the sidewalk in front of your business and pick up the trash," he said.
Steve Keiser, vice president and chief operating officer of Christy and Associates, provided an update on the project to renovate the long-vacant Uptowner Inn on Eighth Street into an extended-stay hotel. A great deal of architectural work has been done, but the developers are still working on finding a franchise partner for the venture.

I am going to make a pork pie, I know how to make the pastry and the savoury jelly. What are the spices, etc, I need to put in the pork meat to make it tasty?
By Leslie from Sheffield
Onions, celery, carrots and maybe some potatoes.
These would suit most people. Green peas would be good too.
Sorry, I didn't read far enough. Pork always is good with a bit of poultry seasoning, which is a combination of several savory herbs and spices. That would suit more people. Look into some of the more exotic ones like the new mixes, and read the information on the bottles.

Though they're both huge popstars and former Disney Channel darlings, Demi Lovato is making it pretty clear that she's no longer friends with Miley Cyrus.
The admission came about during an interview with 'The TJ Show' this morning, when the 'Really Don't Care' singer was asked what her relationship is like with Cyrus today. Lovato seemed a little hesitant to put a label on their current association, simply replying "um… we're acquaintances."
Clarifying her comments, the former 'X Factor' judge continued, "Yeah, it's life, and people change… I don't have anything in common with her anymore, and I wish her all the best."
So there we have it. Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus are just "acquaintances."
Back in July, the former friends unfollowed each other on social media after appearing to take aim at each other in a number of non-direct tweets. It all appeared to go downhill in December 2013 when Cyrus' friend Cheyne Thomas appeared to make fun of her struggle with drug abuse. Lovato was quick to fire back on Twitter, tweeting out to Thomas, "You are who your friends are."
That seemed to support what Lovato told Seventeen magazine in 2012, when she revealed that her and Cyrus used to have "brutal fights" when they were besties. "[Miley] and I are strong headed," she said in the interview, "when we fight it's brutal and we're like, 'We're never going to be friends again!,' then two days later, we're like, 'I love you and I miss you!'."
But it seems like there's probably no making up this time. The two have undoubtedly been on different paths recently. Lovato has been very public about issues of mental health and drug abuse, whilst Cyrus has notoriously posted photos to her Instagram page of herself smoking marijuana.
Are you surprised at how Demi and Miley have drifted apart? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

I purchased the HA-FX40 a few weeks back after reading about them here (of course). They definitely needed some break-in time, as the treble sounded a bit shrill on female vocals to my ears.
After several days, they did indeed smooth out & became quite enjoyable to use (especially for the price) I feel these are a step above the AT-CK50As and pretty close to my newest go to IEMs, the Meelectroinics NE-770X, which I recently scored w/ their 1/2 off trade in deal. The 770X's seem to produce a fuller soundstage, and they fit really well in my ears to produce a tight seal. The JVC's require a bit more effort to get seated in correctly, however it may just be that I need to roll thru more tips to find a better fitting pair.
Still & all, so amazing to see/hear what you can get for around $25 these days!

So I have given the FX101s so time and a bit of burn it. I like them a lot, considering I have so many other ear bud/IEMs. For the price they can't be beat - at least that I know of. The cool thing is, because they are cheap (by "our" standards, I have already started to mode them a bit.
First, I just put Comply Tips (T-400s fit fine). Make them fit better for me and does increase the overall sound quality a bit.
Also, because I can walk down the street and buy a pair at will and my biggest complaint is lack of iphone mic/controls (I use the mic and volume control a lot so prefer buds/IEMS/headphones with iphone-specific functionality (sometimes very limiting). I know you can buy a mic'd version of the JVCs (which I did on amazon for the heck of it, but the come with a generic mic, no volume control which is a must have for me). So - I decided to cut the JVC's casing open (did not snap open like I had hoped - there is rubber strip that holds the casing together), took an iphone ear bud cord/mic (white one that comes with the iphone), detached the crappy earbuds and soddered the white cable with the mic/volume controls to the new JVCs. I did have to superglue the casing back together which made them a bit unsightly, so I filed off the extra glue and took flat black model paint and gave it a coat to clean things up. We will see how long it lasts (lets hope my modding/soddering skills were adequate) but right now, I am rocking the FX101s with a full, operational iphone mic/in-control that, for all intensive purposes, I can not "baby" like I do my more expensive headphones!

Okay cool, my pair has around 8 or so right now, and sounds great for hip-hop and the such......
but then it went to Amon Amarth's "Beheading of a King". Oh god my ears, the treble ate them with knives. Time to hide these puppies for more burn in.

Yea I enjoy the 101's for EDM and Hip Hop, I have started to switch back to my CK50's for rock and classical though. Vocals on the 101's sound a little muffled sometimes as well, not enough to really bother me.

I have both the 40 and 101 with about 100 hrs of burn in. Wow great set for around 40 bucks I use 101's for the gym ( electronica,rock,rap/hip hop) and the 40's while at work (acoustic/live recordings/indie/classical) I use comply tips on both.

Imagine you've saved for months and months and you're finally able to take that vacation to a tropical island paradise like you've always dreamed of. You start packing your bags and your head gets filled with thoughts of white sand and fruity cocktails with paper umbrellas in them. Your plane hits the ground, and after checking into your hotel, you head off to the beach when all of a sudden you're being swarmed by dozens of bloodthirsty zombies. I hate it when that happens!
Dead Island is a first-person, open world action RPG which takes place on the fictional island of Banoi, off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The game starts at the Royal Palms resort near the beginning of a mysterious outbreak of the undead. It's your task to help any survivors you come across, discover the origins of the infection, and make it out alive.
In Dead Island you, and up to 3 other players in online drop in-drop out Co-Op, can choose to play as one of four characters who each has a different set of skills and specialties.
Xian Mei: After her father, a police officer in Hong Kong, was killed in the line of duty, she dedicated her life to following in his footsteps, eventually becoming a member of China's first all-female Special Forces squad. Instead of being deployed with the military, she was assigned to the Royal Palms resort on Banoi to spy on wealthy westerners. She is a bladed weapons specialist.
Sam B: A one-hit wonder rap star who has fallen on hard times. After he's unable to follow up on the success of his one and only hit, he's forced to take on a gig at the resort just to make it by. He's an expert in blunt weapons.
Logan Carter: A star player in the NFL whose career was cut short after a drug and alcohol fueled car wreck. After the accident he had no choice than to try and bank on what little recognition his name had left and sell sports memorabilia. More recently he lent his name to a nationwide blood drive, which got him an all-expenses paid trip to Banoi as a thank you. Being a former football star, it just makes sense his specialty is thrown weapons.
Purna: A former Australian police officer whose career ended after she took the law into her own hands against a politically connected child molester. She now works as a high-end bodyguard. She's a specialist in firearms.
One of the more pressing questions when it comes to anything zombie related is "What kind are they?" Well, Dead Island seems to have all its bases covered on that front. It features classic Romero style shufflers as well as the more modern fast moving variety. In addition to those there are also more powerful special types of zombies. The Ram, for example, is a large hulking brute that's armored in the front and can only be harmed by attacking a weak spot on its back.
Anything you can get your hands on can become a weapon in Dead Island. From baseball bats to sledgehammers to katanas, you can scour the environment for tools of destruction. While the game does have a heavy focus on melee combat, there are also guns available. All the old favorites make an appearance, shotguns, assault rifles, desert eagles, the gang's all here. These weapons are much rarer than the rest because, well, most people don't bring a shotgun to the beach.
In addition to finding weapons in the environment, and having them drop as loot off defeated enemies, there's also a crafting system. You can make fairly standard weapons, like combining a box of nails with a baseball bat to get a spiked baseball bat for example. However, it's also possible to create weapons that are a little more out there. When you combine several different items with a machete you can create an electric machete, which not only hacks and slashes, but also electrocutes enemies to make them unable to move.
On top of all that you can also throw a majority of the weapons in the game. Small weapons, like throwing knives and machetes, can easily be used in this capacity. But if need be, you can also chuck something a little heavier. Let's say you want to take a zombie down from a distance, but all you have on you is a sledgehammer. Well, no problem. Just toss it at him to knock him down, and then move in, pick it back up and brutally finish him off.
Speaking of brutality, Dead Island has it in spades. And it's not just window dressing, either. Say you've come face to face with a fast mover and you want to slow his progress towards you a little bit; just focusing on taking the legs out and leave him crawling toward you as a much slower pace. And if you really want to have some fun, proceed to take the arms off as well to leave nothing but a bitey torso.
When you start Dead Island your character is a total novice when it comes to killing zombies, but every kill you make nets you experience which you can use to level up your character to take on tougher enemies and explore areas that you previously couldn't. Once you've leveled up you can also go back to areas you had trouble with to exact some revenge on enemies that gave you problems in the past.
Dead Island looks like it could be the real deal. It features a lengthy campaign that can be played either single player or online Co-Op, a huge island to explore, countless zombies to slay, and copious amounts of loot (and who doesn't love loot?). If this all comes together we could have something special on our hands here. And let's be honest, who among us hasn't fantasized about a vacation to a tropical island where all there is to do is take on an army of the undead?
Dead Island shuffles (or sprints, whichever your preference) into stores on September 6th 2011.

"Its gettin hot in here (so hot)
So take off all your clothes
I am gettin so hot,
I wanna take my clothes off "
The minxy fray is here and now as we dab the wetness from our brow. Yeah, it's a scorcher today in the city of critters and you can almost smell the butterscotch on the sidewalk. The saucy soiree is also starting to seep into the collective mindset as we edge into the busiest earnings week of the year. Hot? Bothered? Sticky like a bun? Shake it off, Minyans, and come with me as we chill in the 'Ville.
The first few (post expiration) hours are typically noisy as traders square their trading risk. Be that as it may--and it may be considerable--a few themes are starting to emerge in today's action. First and foremost is the N's over S's action that is dominating my (8) screens. The financials, trannies, retailers and cyclicals are draped in red while the NDX is green instead. The tenor is more Red Dye than Matador City, mind you, but the relative outperformance is notable.
My eyes are scampering between the bond market (firm), metals ('there'), Taser Int'l (TASR:NASD) (speculative proxy), oil (above $38/brl) and biotech (+1%). I've been nibblin' ever-so-gently on gamma as I continue to believe that there is a disconnect between what is and the perceived level of future movement. Yes, I have a downside bias but this opinion--and that's all it is--speaks more of the potential for an outsized move vs. relative expectation.
There's much to do and we should all spend some time identifying our objectives before the wild ride begins in earnest. The last thing you wanna do is step into the middle of a live game without a strategy or plan of action. That puts you on your heels and as we've learned, that's the last place you wanna be when trying to proactive position yourself. I know you know--but it never hurts to hear it again.
As always, I hope this finds you well.
