BringMeThat's online food delivery service got some good press today! Check out excerpts below from articles in two North Carolina-based publications.
Read a review of our service in Mary Cowx's indispensable food blog, Fervent Foodie, based out of Charlotte:
"Few can argue it'd be easier and more convenient to browse menus and place orders online in real-time. That's where BringMeThat.com comes into play […] Overall, I think this is a great service, and one that has potential to do well both in Charlotte and in other cities. If you head on over to the BringMeThat Facebook page you can get $5 off your first order!" – (Fervent Foodie)
We also got a write-up in Clarion Content – a multimedia consulting group out of Durham, NC (our current headquarters):
"Have you heard, dear readers, about the latest edition to the Triangle Startup Factory, Durham's entrepreneurial incubator in the American Tobacco Campus? 'Bring Me That' is an on-line food delivery service for smaller restaurants.
"Sure you can order Domino's from your iPhone already, but if you want something from a Mom-n-Pop restaurant, it isn't that easy. This is just the niche 'Bring Me That' hopes to fill." – (Clarion Content)

A Sport NZ programme that uses sport as a classroom tool is being trialled in secondary schools, reports Dana Johannsen.
It is the last period before lunch on an uncomfortably hot day in the heart of the King Country, but there is no sign of restlessness in Alan Ford's Year 9 maths class.
The students' eyes, although some are partially obscured by heavily gelled fringes, are transfixed as they watch footage of Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt winning the 100m final at last year's London Olympics.
"Great race, wasn't it?" Ford says, turning to his Te Kuiti High School class as they cheer the world's fastest man. "Now, who can tell me how we work out on average how far Bolt travels per second?"
Immediately four hands shoot up and Ford leads the discussion of how to calculate how much ground Bolt can cover in a second. There are a couple of suggestions from left field ("measure his stride") before they settle on the right equation, then another race is on to see who can arrive at the correct number first.
Such enthusiasm isn't something you'd expect to see in maths, but then Ford's approach isn't one often taken by teachers.
"It's hard to get them enthusiastic about counting how many apples you would have in a bag if you remove half, or train time tables. Kids need some kind of connection to the numbers," he says.
A few doors down the corridor, Greg Londt stands at the front of his English class as his students work on a writing exercise. He is getting the class to come up with a descriptive piece of writing in a sporting context.
"Sport is a really good vehicle for exploring values and thinking about life in general," says Londt.
One student writes about the exhilaration of the final stretch of a waka ama race; another describes the anxiety as she lines up for a race on athletics day.
"A lot of short stories that students write are related to the negative aspects of teen life like gangs, alcohol, suicide, but now I expect to see more positive stories."
Te Kuiti is one of eight high schools that are in the early stages of trialling a Sport NZ initiative that promotes sport as a tool for learning.
The Sport in Education scheme is aimed at improving academic performance - in particular numeracy and literacy rates - as well as social outcomes in schools. The three-year project also aims to boost participation in school sport and better connect secondary schools to their surrounding communities.
Dylan Cleaver: Demise of play areas shameful
Fields of learning: Classroom turns field of dreams
With the 2011 New Zealand young people's survey finding more than 90 per cent of kids like playing sport, Garry Carnachan, who heads the Sport in Education programme nationally, says it makes sense to use sport as a tool to address problems in education.
The idea isn't to build generations of sport-obsessed kids, or to find the next rugby and netball stars, but to help create better students.
There is a wealth of research published over the past decade that indicates sport is an effective way to engage students, that the values and characteristics of sport can be effectively transferred to classroom learning environments, and that quality physical education enhances academic performance in other areas.
"Kids seem to get the values in sport," Carnachan says.
"If they see someone standing at the top of an Olympic podium they understand that they've had to work really hard for their reward, they've had to show a lot of self-discipline, they've had to follow the rules - the values that sport has are obvious to kids, but not so obvious inside a school culture.
"All schools have really good values, and they state them, but how do they translate them to kids? Sometimes they're just words on the wall."
The Sport NZ programme has drawn upon the success and knowledge gained from a similar project that has been hugely successful in England, run by the UK Youth Sports Trust, which includes 550 schools.
Carnachan says he has visited several British schools and spoken to principals who credit their sports programme with turning their schools around. "In terms of engaging kids, reducing truancy, improving social behaviour and academic performance, some of them have made amazing gains."
Te Kuiti High School is a decile 3 school with a roll of just 335 - 60 per cent of whom identify as Maori.
The NZDep2006 index of deprivation paints a sobering picture of life for youth in the area.
Young people in Te Kuiti are more likely to come from a single-parent household (29 per cent, against the national average of 18 per cent), less likely to leave school with formal qualifications (40.2 per cent of those 15 or over have no formal qualification, compared with 25 per cent nationwide), and only 20 per cent of school leavers will go on to tertiary education. Teen pregnancy rates are double the national average, and youth are twice as likely to be referred to mental health services.
Principal Bruce Stephens instantly saw the value the Sport in Education programme could offer his students.
He believes its principles align closely with the Ministry of Social Development community project that Te Kuiti is already involved in, with other small towns such as Kawerau, Tokoroa and Taumarunui that face similar social challenges.
"I could see a real connection to that whole community thing that we were doing, so for me, I got really excited about the sport project."
Stephens, who has been head for 10 years, has worked hard to make "school a good place to be" for his students, developing a curriculum that serves the broad needs of the community. Keeping students engaged and motivated is a challenge for all schools, but for an area with so many negative socio-economic factors at play, it is a constant battle.
The Sport NZ programme won't provide a silver bullet, but Stephens believes it will help get the best out of the students.
"One of the things about sport is it develops confidence, so we're trying to connect that to the classroom and get that confidence going, because for a lot of learners, the reason why they may struggle is because they lack the self-confidence. So that sporting connection brings that alive," Stephens says.
"We've shifted it from the teacher owning the knowledge to the teacher being the facilitator of the knowledge."
Gareth Williams, the head of physical education, has seen first hand the transformative powers of programmes such as Sport NZ's.
The Welshman, who moved to New Zealand six years ago, has had experience with similar projects in Britain and believes it is a "no-brainer" for the strategies to be adopted here.
Over the next three years the NZ Council of Education Research will measure progress at the eight schools on the trial, looking not only at academic performance and truancy rates, but also at less tangible results such as the effect on school culture.
Being small, Te Kuiti High School can implement the programme across year levels, rather than targeted groups as other schools are doing. Williams expects to see big improvement but warns that noticeable gains may take a couple of years.
"There are baseline things that are happening already." One look inside Ford's classroom would confirm that.
Sport in Education
What is it?
A new initiative led by Sport NZ to improve academic and social outcomes in schools by using sport as a context for learning and student engagement.
"Every day we see the power of sport to change the lives of young people and to help them succeed in other aspects of life. This project will harness that power for schools to get the results they want in their communities" - Peter Miskimmin, Sport NZ chief executive

OMG! theres actually holes when you shoot someone in the face!??
well, i've been desperate for a game worth my time recently, and I believe I have found it.
Jackie Estacado Is on a mission for his life and revenge in this riveting story that keeps you interested non-stop. This is one of the most emotionally charged games i've played. If you never thought a video game could actually hit you in the heart, your wrong. There is a certain scene in this game that just makes you want to punch someone in the face and cry. ( end of chapter one.) Jackie's adoption guardian Uncle Paulie is out to get him because he didnt get him his money and now your killing his people and burning his money. Of course he wants you dead. But they guys such a scum bag you want him dead to. Here is a sum.
+ Beautiful scenery/ graphics
+ Very graphic and detailed wounds
+ Great voice acting
+ Even Better Dialouge/ and the story is amazing. It is like a hollywood script, a really good one.
- Horrible checkpoint system
- Poor weapon selection
- Online play not to great
- Very confusing at times
+/- The darkness crap. You can love it or you can hate it.

Need help with unbalanced newish tank
Hi all! new to the forums but have read hundreds of threads on this forum alone while trying to work my way through a new tank set up.
Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this and especially for any help offered!
So, this started out as a .4 Gal unfiltered tank for a Female Betta (R.I.P. Scarlet, she was a fantastic little pet for the three months we had her, her death two weeks ago remains somewhat of a mystery and occurred after the introduction of Otocinclus catfish about five weeks ago and after she had been in that set up by herself for a month or so).
We (my wife and I) replaced the .4 gal with a 5.5 gal with some plants and it was cycled as best as I could figure (0ppm ammonia and nitrites within 36 or so hours of any given water change; there would be ammonia from the chloramine in the tapwater, which we used prime - eventually - to lock up for the 48 hours it took for the bb to 'eat' that ammonia and it would reliably retreat to 0 within 24 - 36 hours).
I procured a 20gal long and we moved everything from the 5.5 gallon (filter, gravel, plants - at the time some were fake; everything). Through several stages of developments we have come to this setup: (I hope its not too long winded, but I wanted to include a lot of the details).
I tried to include a couple of pictures.
-10 weeks setup
-20 Gal Long with full glass 'versa-top' hood
-Current brand light fixture which sits on the edges and the bulbs are about 6" from the surface of the water it has 2x 65W 22" Power Compact bulbs one is 10K kelvin, the other 6700.
-'bio sponge' (japanese or korean) brand sponge filter with marineland 400 maxi jet powerhead on the top of it pumping left to right at the back behind the plants across the glass.
-AquaClear 50 HOB filter with the sponge and some fluval media and the bio media from AQ placed at the far right back of aquarium, speed reduced to medium or low.
-(kinda thin) Layer of Fluval substrate 'capped' (read: mostly mixed) with black aquarium gravel and some coarser smoother natural colored gravel with some eco complete laid about near the front for some grasses (was my thought).
-2 pieces of drift wood
-Seachem Flourish, the shampoo bottle looking stuff with a separate bottle for N, P, K, 'micro' and 'trace'; following the formulas on the labels, I try to dose about 2x to 3x per week of each and I aim for (N,P,K) about 20-.1-10.
-API and Flourish root tabs which get placed in the aquarium whist i sing alternative lyrics to the Beatie Boys song 'root down'
-CO2 from pressurized system with Milwaukee regulator at about 2.5 to 3 bps when its on.
Lots of unidentified plants.
-Some known are Water Wisteria, Ludwigia, Camboba or Cabomba(?), java fern, amazon sword, anubias, cryptosomething, christmas moss.
-Some probably known are ruffle leaf sword, 'radican' or brazilian sword - not sure - large stems coming off of rhizome and the leaves really like to shoot up to the surface and float there; java moss.
-Some I have totally forgotten or never were identified.
I would probably consider the biomass of the plants to be rather heavy, I would suspect it may weigh close to a pound wet, including the roots and rhizomes.
3 Otocinclus catfish
-Worms: probably more than one type, most about 5mm - 10mm long, "inchworm-like" movement across the glass and flail when free-floating and appear to be able to swim against the current. you can see them in the substrate; looks like and ant farm.
Snails: none purposefully introduced, however have found three very small snails and one that had grown to about 3/8 inch that I believe I correctly "identified" as a 'common pond snail'; the adult was very fast moving and appeared to clean that grass. I killed it anyway, not sure if that was right but I crushed the small ones and froze the big one - sorry if that was wrong, but it seemed reasonable at the time.
crustaceans: various sorts that dart around, looking a bit like fleas, again, not purposefully introduced by me
tap: city water report
; highlights: sodium silicate and chloramine; I use prime and sometimes a betta conditioner to condition the tap water; Ph about 6.8
Test kits: 5 or 6 way strips and an ammonia/ammonium regent test kit
Ammonia: 0 to very low, maybe .01 (different shades of yellow, no green in the test, so well below that .25 of the lime green color).
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: (must raise with the flourish and I aim for about 20, but if left alone, pretty much usually 0).
GH: 75ppm
KH: 60ppm
Ph: 6.3 to 6.5 or so
Temp: 74F (was 80 when Scarlet the Betta occupied, but I've since turned it down to make the otos more comfortable.)
Co2: drop checker gets fully green about 2 hours after the Co2 comes on
The above is about all I can test for.
Water changes + photoperiod:
1x water change of ~20% per week
Light: 11 hours/day with the 6700k and 0 hours/day with the 10,000k.
hopefully, you have some information now and might be able to give me some advice about some nagging issues:
-The worms and crustaceans, I'm not worried about them but they are making my tank look kinda messy when you're up close. I've read that these are propagating because the fish are over-fed but I've really tried not to do that. Their numbers had subsided substantially but I could see them every water change. I only added the powerhead about a week ago to address dead-spots but now they all seem to be out in full force. Is the extra current giving them extra food?
-Thread or hair algae; this was a huge problem when I had fake and real plants so I planted more plants and it became less a problem. I increased the photoperiod to help provide more algae to the oto cats but they don't eat that kind of algae (the mowed down some green algae on the driftwood though) and its really starting to grow, especially on the moss. I've been cleaning it out with a toothbrush but is there a way to grow the good algae and keep this stuff out? After my experience adding the oto cats (which, we of course now love very much and will keep them and care for them best we can), I'm a little concerned about deploying biological controls.
Green Spot algae: Seems to be GSA on the leaves of the plants. I've tried to add more phosphorus to help but I read this causes thread algae (which I kind of ignored that advice for one reason or another). Is this right? Ive been told that the otos don't eat this either. Should I perhaps continue to be aggressive with the P?
Snails? leave them? Kill them? I hated killing him but I don't want a snail farm really either, nor would i like them to be eating healthy vegetation. I don't think releasing them into the 'gully' behind my apartment is a good idea either, but if they are native here, I'm not sure I'd be all that conflicted about it. (this may take a visit to CU biology department to get an actual ID of the snail, and, see, this is getting to be a bit much ado about snails).
Oto food rotting? I have been supplementing their diet with veggies like slices of zucchini, squash and peppers. they seems to like these but only after they are soaked. they ignore algae wafers. I'm going to try some nori. Some of these just rot away (i try to take it out after about 2 days) but the slices are kinda thin and I look for it and can't find it. I read that rotting food can cause an ammonia spike. Is my tank buffered against a rapid ammonia spike from a rotting zucchini slice? (I know this will contribute to the worm problem or lead to unsightliness but I just want to make sure its not dangerous to these oto catfish).
Tank-mates for the oto? I'd really love another betta, but the compatibility of the temp range with the otos doesn't seem that great. I'm also afraid that she would chase them like Scarlet did (which I think made her very stressed) and keep them in a corner (which I think made the otos stressed). I suppose I wouldn't mind an otto tank with just a bunch of ottos (like 3 more or something), but it seems like there won't be enough algae for more than three. Anybody have any ideas of some fishes that could go in there, or do you like the more ottos idea ( I'm not sure I like buying them from the shop after I read more about them and have lost 2 total already, but I would).
Other advice? you've seen my tank and setup, I'm pretty new to the hobby, except I had a 10 gal in Jr. High and High school at my folk's house, that was pretty much a low tech tank with a UG filter.
Sorry if there is a rule about too many questions in the thread; I tried to keep it as organized as possible. Thanks in advance for any help!
Kind regards,

And for their all-encompassing, 4-year, $305 million makeover, the Casino de Montréal got all of these things in, well, spades… Completely reimagined gaming and entertainment areas were central to the comprehensive re-conception of the Casino de Montréal, and after that the sky was the limit. Almost literally. For example, located in the very centre of the redesigned Casino, surrounded by three massive mid-air structures supporting relaxation areas, is a 21-metre tall, 48-screen multimedia installation displaying original video content courtesy of Montreal-based light and sound magicians Moment Factory. It's an immersive sensory experience like no other, and is representative of the meticulous attention to ambiance throughout. Indeed, atmosphere is key to the re-think. Look no further than the Casino's new dining areas: four different styles, four different atmospheres. The à la carte resto Le Montréal offers three settings – the atelier du chef, the lounge and the côté urbain – for reinvented classics, as well as an amazing, river-front view of the city skyline.

PLO: Settler violence on rise
JERICHO (Ma'an) -- A PLO report on settler violence said Friday that a sharp increase in assaults on Palestinians and vandalism of property was recorded for October. According to the report, Palestinians in the West Bank reported a total of 277 cases of settler violence from August through October 2010, with a sharp increase in incidents in the last weeks of October. "While Israeli settler violence against Palestinians is a daily occurrence in the occupied Palestinian territory, the past three months have seen a steady increase in settler violence against Palestinian civilians and property to coincide with the annual olive harvest," the report said.
The report was released a week after four Israeli rights groups sent a letter to Israeli military officials in the West Bank, including Central Command Chief General Avi Mizrahi and commander of Israeli military forces in the West Bank Brigadier Nitzan Alon. The letter detailed the settler assaults of Palestinians harvesting olives, and outlined expectations for halting the abuses.
The PLO report also noted the prevalence of weapons amongst settlers, adding that private weapons were frequently used against Palestinians during confrontations.

Okay, not sure which generation I have. Maybe mine is not a second generation and this will be of no help at all. I have a Coby Kyros MID 1042 and I was able to root it using Mepis Linux and some help from the people on the Mepis board. If I knew for sure my tablets root procedure would be compatible with yours, I could be of more help. I can point someone over there if there is interest and if that is allowed here. I don't want to get myself or others into trouble on the board. The Coby tablets are rootable and having Google apps available makes a big difference.
I saw one of these sold locally and i was wondering if anyone has gotten anyone has gotten there hands on this unit and used it longer than a week? i tested it briefly and i was impressed with the touch sensitivity. however, im more concerned with root/custom rom installation and if any hardware issues that might have popped up after prolonged use.
It's weird that according to there webpage, it isn't available yet.

Cops Fired After Beating Are Rehired, Victim's Family Shocked
Victim's Father Urges Good Officers To Step Up
PUEBLO, Colorado - The two Denver police officers who lied and were fired after the brutal arrest of a Pueblo County Sheriff Deputy's son could be heading back on the job.
It all appears to be because of a technicality. The Civil Service Commission found the officers' original 3 day suspensions shouldn't have been changed. Finding that the Denver Manager of Safety "lacked the authority" to rescind the original disciplinary action and fire them like he did.
As you can imagine the victim's dad is not happy Anthony DeHerrera says the video speaks for itself, and it proved the officers lied in their reports. He says letting the former cops back on the force is not justice.
"I plea that the officers in Denver that are good officers, come forward and say 'enough is enough and we don't want to work with these guys we don't want to be near them because they're scumbags,'" DeHerrera tells KRDO Newschannel 13, "step forward and say they don't want to work with them because they're tarnishing their badge."
DeHerrera says he also pled with the Denver District Attorney to file charges in the case, but the DA refused, saying there wasn't enough evidence.
The Denver Manager of Safety agrees with Deherrera. He doesn't think the fired officers should be back on the force. This could all end up in district court.
The Mayor of Denver says tonight the city will appeal the Civil Service decision to reinstate the officers. The Associated Press reports, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock announced Wednesday that the city will "vigorously challenge" the Tuesday decision by the Denver Civil Service Commission to reinstate Officer Devin Sparks and Cpl. Randy Murr. Hancock says the city will also try to stay the officers' reinstatement pending an appeal.
Statement From Denver Manager of Public Safety:
The Civil Service Commission reinstated Officer Sparks and Officer Murr. In response to this decision, Manager of Safety, Ashley Kilroy said:
"I cannot and do not tolerate excessive force in our city's safety agencies or departing from the truth by any of our employees. I stand by Manager Garcia's decision to terminate Officer Sparks and Officer Murr and I do not agree with the Hearing Officers' decision to overturn their termination. However, I respect the process that led to that conclusion and will support the city attorney's office's determination of next steps."
Officer Sparks and Officer Murr will undergo the reinstatement process and will be placed in non-line (off-street) assignments upon their return.

text: Paris, November 26, 2007 – ElektroGames is introducing Building & Co: You are the architect!® Expected to be released on the PC in early 2008, this title is the result of a joint effort between construction and video game experts. Far from a simple building site simulation, this City Builder will allow users to familiarize themselves with the building industry and help them learn about the issues linked with a real building site; from drawing plans to managing workers, choosing building materials and respecting the environment. The user will be given a budget, a deadline, a building site and some specifications: number of floors, minimum size of the rooms, accessibility requirements, etc. Playing as the architect that manages these sites, the user will have to collaborate with advisers such as the staff adviser, the architecture adviser, the building site adviser, the project adviser, and the logistics adviser. He will discover the different work ethics required for the construction of specific buildings such as hospitals, residential buildings, and even entire shopping centres! All have distinct requirements but will still allow the user's imagination to run wild through the creation of their plans and the building materials that they will choose to use. Drawn to the project by the French studio Creative Patterns' desire for realism, the following major names in the building industry have helped contributing to the game: - ArcelorMittal. The number 1 in the steel industry is now sharing its expertise for a game. Three official ArcelorMittal products are available in the game: their post-and-beam system, wind bracing, and flooring. Visit: http://www.arcelormittal.com/ - Saint Gobain Glass. This glass industry giant was on hand during the game's conception and three of its official products are available in the game: BIOCLEAN, STADIP SILENCE, and PLANITHERM. For more information, visit http://www.saint-gobain-glass.com/exen/index.asp Entertaining and instructive, simple and addictive, Building & Co: You are the architect! is the first management game to put you in control of a building site and offers a fun, technical approach that will please all fans of the genre. Architect, city planner, foreman: you are in charge of the craziest building projects and have unlimited freedom in your decisions! Draw the plans and build a large number of buildings in a 3D environment: residential buildings, hotels, banks, museums, hospitals, and even shopping centres! Professional advisers will assist you in every field: staff, logistics, materials, architecture. Career mode offers a progressive difficulty in various urban settings. Sandbox mode offers an unlimited array of creativity and constructions. Building & Co: You are the architect! has been developed by the French studio Creative Patterns along with the expertise of Palludio Games and published by ElektroGames.

Make sure to reserve a portion of the peaches as you puree the mixture so the pops will be packed with icy cold, chunky bits of fruit. For a grown-up twist, try adding 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint, lemon verbena or basil.

[quote user="BlueSanta"][quote user="Kruunch"][quote user="juice33s"][quote user="Kruunch"]Adrien Robinson was the only pick that really had me scratching my head. I would have picked up George Iloka (instead of Janzen Jackson as a UDFA and grabbed Robinson as a UDFA instead). Otherwise the whole draft, value wise was a home run by and large. Now to see if they actually get that value out of them.[/quote]
Lol, u have so little faith in the Giants management that you think they picked an UDFA in the 4th round?.....after his pro day I heard a number of NFL people calling him a mid round pick
[/quote] "Faith" has nothing to do with it. It is what it is. And no TE has a mid-round grade that has a total of 12 receptions in his senior year (29 receptions in 4 years of college I might add). I look at draft grades from multiple sources just like everyone else. The highest grade I've found on him was as a possible 7th rounder. Adrien Robinson is the definition of a reach since the probability was that he wasn't going to be drafted. I mean this kid would have been a reach in the 6th round lol.[/quote]
While I completely agree with you, Reese does this every once in a while.
Look at Jaquain Williams, I think its very possible if not likely he goes undrafted if we dont pick him in the 5th. Few knew who he was. Analysts were stumped. Yet we picked him the 5th. We spent a 6th rounder on Adrian Tracy, another guy who very well could have gone undrafted. Reese doesnt mind swinging for the fences on kids he likes. If the reports are true about this kids pro day numbers then he is the best athlete at the TE position in the draft, on top of that, he is an actual end like blocking TE, something rare in college football these days.
We took Williams in the 6th . . . .

Reviews of this property
We had a great stay. The apartment was a reasonable size and comfort was there. Marco is a friendly and welcoming host, who was also able to answer our questions.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. L'appartement était de taille raisonnable et tout le confort y était. Marco est un hôte accueillant et gentil, qui a également su répondre à nos questions.
Mark and 'was very kind and helpful in directing me to visit Florence. The apartment is located 10 minutes from the center by bus and only 5 minutes from Santa Maria Novella station using the tramway, both public transportation stops are just outside the apartment. A 2-minute walk there 's also a supermarket. The apartment 'comfortable, very clean and quiet, because' overlooks a courtyard, so you do not hear any traffic noise at all.
Marco e' stato molto gentile e disponibile nel fornire indicazioni per visitare Firenze. L'appartamento si trova a 10 minuti dal centro con il bus e a soli 5 minuti dalla stazione S.Maria novella usando la tramvia, entrambe le fermate dei mezzi pubblica sono appena fuori l'appartamento. A 2 minuti a piedi c'e' anche un supermercato.
L'appartamento e' comodo, molto pulito e tranquillo, poiche' si affaccia su un cortile interno, quindi non si sente affatto il rumore del traffico.
An excellent place for who wants to discover Florence welcoming and discreet owners a spacious, comfortable and quiet accommodation, just 15 minutes walk from the main tourist sites, a discounted parking, close to something to eat, and frequent public transport. So a very good price / quality ratio. So do not hesitate to contact them!
Une excellente adresse pour qui veut découvrir Florence :
des propriétaires accueillants et discrets, un logement spacieux, confortable et calme, à 15 minutes seulement à pied des principaux sites touristiques, un parking à prix réduit, à proximité de quoi se restaurer, ainsi que des transports en commun fréquents.
Donc un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Alors, n'hésitez pas à les contacter !
We felt right at home in this very clean, comfortably furnished apartment. Marco is a helpful, friendly host. And the location could not be more convenient for visiting Florence. We walked to all the sites, only taking a bus home on one rainy afternoon. There is also a variety of good restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Florence.

Picture this: the host is waiting for you at the tramstation (around the corner), to lead you straight to the appartment, bringing extra umbrella's because it might be raining. The cosy appartement is a wonderful place for a stay in Florence, Quiet, but with everything you need need (shops, restaurants, public transport) in the neighbourhood. Very clean also. And all the highlights of Florence within walking distance. Highly recommended!
THE APARTMENT is EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED ON THE SITE. EQUIPPED WITH EVERY COMFORT AND CLOSE TO THE STATION. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE APARTMENT
L'APPARTAMENTO è ESATTAMENTE COME DESCRITTO SUL SITO. DOTATO DI OGNI CONFORT E VICINO ALLA STAZIONE. CONSIGLIEREI SICURAMENTE L'APPARTAMENTO
Very welcoming and friendly hosts trying to make the stay as pleasant as possible
Hôtes très accueillants et sympathiques essayant de rendre le séjour le plus agréable possible
The apartment is exactly as described: very nice and very close to the city center, sights, shopping, restaurants and the river. And still it is silent because windows and balcony turns away from the street. Bath and kitchen are both new and well equipped.
Marco and Patrizia are very friendly and helpful, both before and during the stay.
I would no doubt book the apartment again, if revisiting Florence.
From the very beginning Marco & Patrizia couldn't have been more helpful. Marco gave us very good information regarding the travel from the airport, sending us a link to the website of the airport coach. Once we arrive in Florence we had good clear instructions on how to get to the meeting point. Once at the meeting point Marco met us and had considerably brought two umbrella's with him for us to borrow. The apartment itself was ideal. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bathroom was very modern and the apartment had lots of small homely touches. It even had the advantage of WIFI, but what stood out for us was how spotless clean the apartment was.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this apartment if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Florence.

What I did
Ma'au Mai Beach
We were greeted by a big hug, which was fantastic after not seeing our friend for 12 years. Pookie, aka Andrew, was with us when we got married on the Big Island in 1998. He was our Best Man, Maid of Honor, Photographer, Chauffeur, Wedding Planner, Witness.......
We loaded up his car with his big chocolate lab, Nalau, our towels, a chilly bin of chips and sandwiches and headed to the beach. It was great to be back in the warm, clear, blue waters and all of us had a great swim.
Here is Lily.....
A while after we got to the beach there was a strange feeling as a rare turtle approached the shore.
Tim, Jess, Eli, Uncle Pookie and Me saw the turtle even though I (Lily) saw it first.
When I see something rare Tim says " Go Spoten Doten ".
We were certainly very lucky to see a sea turtle (Honu) on our first day in Hawaii.
Today we are off to Hilo and the farmer's market, check out a couple of waterfalls......more later

Try our new items: Shrimp Ceviche & Salmon Poke!
We wanted to take a few minutes and let you know about a few really cool items we just started in the seafood department. We know you all love our poke department so much that we thought it would be a cool idea to add a few new items to the mix. Starting this week, you should see shrimp ceviche and fresh salmon poke in our stores.
For starters, we thought it would be really fun to celebrate some of the other international variations of poke. Traditionally, ceviche is raw fish that is marinated with vegetables, olive oil and citrus juice.
We looked at a lot of recipes and came up with a version of our own. This recipe is packed with flavor! It's got a lot of what you'd expect in ceviche… bell peppers, serrano chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, and lime juice.
We chose to start with shrimp because shrimp is one of our most popular seafood items. I mean, who doesn't love shrimp?
We also added in avocado. Some recipes have, some don't. We chose to include it because we think it smoothes things out nicely.
I really think that this dish is a great complement to our Asian based pokes. The citrus and cilantro complement but also cleanse the palate. Plus, this item goes great with beer!
Now, on to the second addition...salmon poke.
I really think this item has the potential to become one of our best sellers. Here are my reasons. The fresh salmon is so velvety and smooth when you eat it. It's almost like eating ahi toro. Second, the flavor profile. For this one, we went straight up Asian. It has shoyu and mirin. It also has just a hint of ginger and a little bit of heat from chili flakes.
This is an awesome item with rice. I also like the idea of having this paired with a little avocado poke, or California Roll poke. It would be kind of like a deconstructed Rainbow roll.
One thing I was thinking about doing was buying some of the salmon poke and very quickly searing it so it is still rare inside and having that with rice... or even on a bed of Dean's Greens and some Wafu dressing... anyway you get the picture.
Either way, I'm willing to bet that you will love both. So, you know what to do.... come in for a sample of each. I know you'll walk away with a few pounds of each!
P.S. What else would you like to see in our poke department? Leave us a comment below!
Ask the Chef: What are Rib Tips?
Recently, I was asked about an item we offer in our Weekly Ad. The item was Rib Tips. A customer wanted to know what they were and where they came from.
First off, to make sure we are on the same page, the rib tip we are referring to comes from pork.
Now onto the specifics.

The RunPee app is surprisingly easy to use. When the app starts, it shows you a list of movies.
New movies are added each week on opening day, or earlier.
The RunPee app has a few extra features. Like letting you know if there's anything to see during or after the end credits – something that's always handy to know.
The Timer is our ace in the hole. You start it when the movie begins, and it will vibrate before each Peetime. Now you can sit back, enjoy the movie and never wonder again, "Is this a good time to go?…Maybe now…Okay, now?…"

This article originally appeared in the March 15, 1983 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
To get into the Aerosmith concert at Cape Cod Coliseum last week you had to worm through a battalion of helmeted police, a few of them with German shepherds. One officer standing next to a trash barrel was popping the tops off confiscated six-packs. The rest milled around the doors, eyeballing the crowd, warding off gatecrashers, and demanding immediate apologies for wisecracks. As I neared the door a rowdy young man was arrested and led away. Not a minute had passed when a different scuffle began and another geek was handcuffed and taken to the nearby paddy wagon. Inside, hundreds of cantankerous, bleary-eyed louts thronged the halls and greeted each other with a punch in the arm, a slug in the kidney, or my favorite, a surprise hammerlock. Most of these guys, ranging in age from their mid-teens to early 20's, wore a variation of the following: leather jacket, denim jacket, hooded sweatshirt, T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, workboots, (many of these were intentionally laceless, forcing the wearer into a distinctively graceless gait), and the occasional bandanna or crucifix (à la Ozzy Osbourne). The quarter or less of the crowd that was female looked the same. The clothing was faded and tattered, sometimes held together only by sewn-on patches boasting favorite bands. Judging from these patches, and the hand-painted vests or jackets (JIM MORRISON LIVES!) or T-shirts (on sale here with Aerosmith's logo at $10 per, $14 for the long-sleeved), the following are among the revered acts of the Aerosmith crowd: Rush, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Foreigner, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Doors, Led Zeppelin…and Marvin Gaye (just kidding).
Aerosmith worked their way into this rank 10 years ago in the Midwest, the first area beyond New England the band cracked. Out there, the group's bargain-basement Stones show delighted guys like me and my friends. We aped the band's delinquent image, albeit with less mascara, and marveled at Joe Perry's kerchunkachunka guitar and Steven Tyler's gypsy sleaze and ripped-larynx singing. Looking back I have no regrets, but looking across Cape Cod Coliseum's iceless hockey rink, my nostalgia soured. Were my friends and I this surly? Probably. When I found an empty wrapper on the floor that said Big Bomb Super Firecrackers I began to wonder. Were we this stupid? Most certainly. One of the first times I should have been arrested for drunken driving, Get Your Wings was in the tape deck. There was only one difference between the Cape crowd and my crew a decade ago: as a companion said of the 6500-strong mob, "If we nuked Iran tomorrow there aren't three people in this place would care." We would have cared, but only because when it came to war we had Vietnam to wise us up.

Ciao bella ragazza,
you know I went to Toronto and Niagara falls back in 1998 with 4 friends and while I was reading your blog I immediately remembered everything about those places! Even Niahara on the Lake and Kensington market!
Have you figured out if you manage to come and visit me in Italy? It would be great!
Exploring Toronto
Loading Map
I have survived my first experience of being in a Youth Hostel! It's actually been a lot better than I thought it would be
I was knackered on Sunday after travelling all day Saturday and also due to lack of sleep because of the air con unit in our dorm. (It needs to be on due to temp, but is sooo noisy!) I am getting used to it now. The weather wasn't so good that day so I went to the Natural History Museum. I have bought a tourist visitor pass that gives me entry to 5 places for $59. To be honest I was so tired I didn't take much in and skipped the top floor as I was practically falling asleep going around it
I got some sleep on Monday night at long last and visited the CN Tower. It is really good, the views are spectacular and I got the sky pod to the top. They also have a simulation ride thing which was quite good too. After visiting the tower I walked around the harbour and took a boat trip out to the surrounding islands. They were really nice to walk along, (my favourite part of Toronto so far), and I had a chance to sit on the beach for while in the sun. All in all good day!
Didn't do much on Tuesday, had a bit of an admin day. I posted home the things I bought from S Africa and booked my flight to Calgary and a trip to Niagara Falls. The Post offices are really good here. They had boxes already made up so you could just pick up the size you wanted and fill it up. They also sold bubble wrap and they had sellotape guns on the counters so you could box, wrap and tape everything up in 2 minutes flat without having to take it home and bring it back
I went to Niagara Falls on Wednesday which I booked through Moose Tours. It was really good. I went on a day trip which included the Maid of Mist boat tour, a visit to Niagara On the Lake and a Vineyard for wine tasting. It was raining and cloudy that day which was a bit of a shame but it certainly doesn't spoil the sight of the falls. They are amazing. The boat tour was so cool. They give you these hideous blue macs to wear but they do keep you mainly dry so it is worth being a crime against fashion temporarily for comfort. The boat goes near the epicentre of the falls so you get spray coming at you from 360 degrees and get totally soaked!! It was wicked, it's so funny just looking at how soaked everyone is and laughing at everyone else. If you do a longer trip you can do a walk behind the falls. It would have been nice to do but in terms of budget I'm more than happy with the day trip I had. I have seen Niagara Falls - how cool is that?! The area around the falls is bizarre, it's a mini Las Vegas, all a bit random really but good fun to walk around for a short time.
Niagara on The lake is the town near the Falls and it is so pretty. It is protected so no fast food chains are allowed and no tacky signage or facades on buildings either. Everything looks like it did hundreds of years ago and it is beautiful. All the gardens are really well kept as well so it is just perfect.
The wine tasting was quite quick (damn it!). We went to Bees Nursery who do award winning Ice Wine. Wine was OK but I didn't buy anything
On Thursday I went to Casa Loma. It is a beautiful Castle at the other end of the City, a bit of a walk to get there ( I could have taken the subway but chose to get some exercise!) It's a really nice place, glad I went. Again, I will add photos at later point in time.
This morning the World Cup kicked off so there was a special breakfast here- muffins and dougnuts! Watching it made me miss Cape Town loads and of course I wished I stayed there longer now. I knew I would feel like that though so just have to focus on the tour ahead. Unfortunately RSA drew rather than won their first game but it's better than a loss!
I've had a wander around St Lawrence Markets today. They're just beside the hostel and they are fab. I've never seen such cheap, brilliantly fresh produce. There are also loads of bakery and deli counters with really lovely cakes and stuffed olives- not fair when you are on a budget and can't buy them! the supermarkets here are much nicer than the UK as well. They are all really clean and tidy, well stocked and everything looks really fresh, not a rotten piece of fruit in sight. The UK could learn a lot here
I also had a walk through China Town and Kensington Market. I loved both. I've got a really cute T shirt for my 2 year old nephew in a shopping centre in China Town which I will post in due course. There are loads of fruit & veg stalls, clothes stalls and little shops spread over a few streets. There is a really good lively atmosphere there and everything on the stalls is really cheap. It's worth a walk out of town for fresh fruit (cheaper than St Lawrence market and equally good quality!) and there are some nice tops and summer dresses there too. Kensington Market is equally lively and has a mish mash of shops representing loads of different cultures. We went into a retro shop which has loads of old stuff from the UK and USA, I think it was called Funky Junky, it is worth a look in just to see the collection of stuff in there. I also had a look in a few clothes shops as I am missing my summer dresses but I was a good girl and didn't buy anything. I really can't afford it!
When I first got to Toronto I instantly liked it. I did however think it was a bit shiny new looking and thought that due to the grid like street system lacked a bit of character. (I'm used to the old style architecture and make up of Edinburgh!) However, now that I've been here a few days I appreciate the modern architecture and quirky glass buildings. The city vibe is fantastic and the place is constantly buzzing. What do I think about Toronto now? I LOVE it, I could move here tomorrow very easily. Just as well I can't, I've got a whole lot more places to see.....
Top picks of Toronto:
China Town - there is a really good vibe there and loads to look at and lots of cheap food
Lawrence Market -3 floor fab indoor market with a vast array of stalls selling every kind of food. Bakery stalls to die for. Really fresh produce and loads of eating places.
Kensington Market- really eclectic mix of shops and stalls with a fantastic atmosphere. Funk Junky is a must look. You can easily dally away a couple of hours nosing in and out of the shops and there are a huge amount of cafe's and restaurants selling food from around the globe at very reasonable prices. As mentioned even cheaper produce than St Lawrence and brilliantly fresh.
Just walking around- costs nothing and it's great to soak up the city vibes.
Casa Loma- really pretty building and lovely but small gardens. There are picnic benches there so you can have your lunch after your tour around the castle!
Niagara Falls- don't think I need to say anymore. And if you go there you're practically at New York so you can choose to hop over the border and visit that too if you wish!
Finally for backpackers: Don't spend 20 quid or more getting to and from the airport, you can do it for 3. From the Airport take a bus to Kipling Station. Your ticket will transfer you onto the Metro where you can choose your route depending on where you are staying in the City Centre.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Ciao bella ragazza,
Ciao Bella, Come stai? (That is the end of my Italian knowledge!) So nice to hear from you. Glad I have brought back good memories for you!
Don't think I'll have money to go to Italia -( Don't think I have enough money to do my trip as it is!!! Will have to be next time after I have gone back home and got a job and gone back to the dull 9-5!!!
Hope you guys are well. Keep in touch Ciao XXXXXX

I was recently watching a rerun episode of HBO's "HardKnocks" featuring the Cincinnati Bengals, and Terry "Tank" Johnson asked a great online reputation management question during a team session with what must have been a PR person. Anyway – she was talking about the idea of "anything you do can get posted online and live forever". It was at this point that Tank Johnson raised his hand and asked if there was any way to get rid of the bad stuff that shows up when you Google his name. The PR rep said "no", which is true – but it isn't the complete answer. A little effort and some savvy could probably do wonders for improving the Google results when I look up Tank Johnson.
It's probably best to back up here and give a little background. If you don't follow football or know who Terry "Tank" Johnson is – you may not know that he started his NFL career as a defensive lineman with the Chicago Bears after an outstanding couple of years playing for University of Washington, where he got the nickname Tank. While with Chicago, Tank Johnson got into a little (lot of) hot water with a few gun related arrests, which ultimately led to him putting a little time in behind bars, getting suspended by the NFL, and being kicked off of the Chicago Bears in the process. Now, depending on the search you use, it isn't hard to find less than flattering results in Google for his name. You'll find mug shots and news stories about his "Chicago troubles", arrests, and testifying in a murder trial.
So what could Tank Johnson do to "fix" the Google results for his name? Here's some
Online Reputation Management Tips for Terry "Tank" Johnson
Have a Good Reputation Offline
The first rule of Online Reputation Management is that you have to have a good reputation offline. You can employ all the smartest tactics and make short term fixes, but if you're a disaster of a person in real life – there's no way that they'll stick because the next negative news item or comment or review will lay all your hard work to waste. So, the first thing that Tank Johnson needs to do is stay out of trouble and start doing positive things with his life that he can publicize online.
Highlight the Positive Online
Now that you're keeping your nose clean, improving your performance on the field, and maybe even doing some charity work – you've got to let people know about it. This might manifest itself online in the following ways: positive news coverage, player profiles, press releases from the team or from your own publicity, multimedia (photos & videos). So the question becomes – how to get those things to show up in Google for your name instead of the "bad" items? The key lies in building links to the positive items, and encouraging other people to link to them as well. Link to them from your blog, from your Twitter account, from press releases, from your Facebook page, from your team site, etc.
Do Some Blocking & Tackling Online
You'll notice in the item above that I recommended building links to the positive items. In order to really make that work – you need to generate some authority online. One – you've got to have a Web presence or two or three that you own. A popular place is Twitter and/or Facebook, but these work best if you've got a site or blog to act as a central location for your online presence. From here – you can use Twitter and Facebook as extensions of your primary site. After all – Twitter or Facebook may go the way of MySpace or Friendster someday. Once you link Twitter and Facebook to your blog – and "optimize" them for your name, all of a sudden you've got three Web properties that can show up on page 1 in Google for your name. When that happens, you may find that some of those negative items get "pushed" to page two – effectively making them "disappear". Use these tools to create links to the positive items that you'd rather see show up in search results for your name. You can take this strategy even further by creating profiles on other sites like Flickr, LinkedIn, Google Profiles, YouTube, etc.
Continue to Generate Positive Publicity
While there may be some more sensational publicity stunts you can do to generate a lot of buzz and coverage in a short amount of time – simple things like taking advantage of photo opps, granting interviews, and donating your time and money to worthy causes will pay off in the long run. The key is to be savvy about promoting those items online.
These are just a few tips that any person or company could employ to improve their online reputation. Google even gives some advice for managing your reputation through search results. Amplify Interactive offers online reputation management services as well. Feel free to share any online reputation management tips you may have for Terry "Tank" Johnson below.

A way of expressing cunt in text form without actually writing cunt. When read aloud, seaward becomes "c-word", the popular euphamism for cunt. An excellent way of calling someone a cunt, and making fun of them behind their back right to their face.
I can't stand hanging out with her anymore. She's such a seaward.

This D list celebutard embarrassed himself and everyone around him when he kept doing his "Indian impression" everytime the camera showed the Slumdog cast. Throughout the night he made disparaging remarks about anything and everything Indian until at one point a spouse of an actress at the same party told him if he did it one more time the spouse would kick the celebutard's ass.

25 Things to know about methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is a stimulant that is extremely addictive and affects the central nervous system. drugabuse.gov
Methamphetamine is also commonly known as: speed, meth, chalk, ice, crystal, crank and glass. drugabuse.govPHOTO: http://commons.wikimedia.org/
Meth is a white, odorless, bitter tasting crystalline powder that is easily dissolvable in water or alcohol. drugabuse.gov
Methamphetamine was developed from amphetamine and was originally used in nasal decongestants and bronchial inhalers. drugabuse.gov
In the 1950s, doctors commonly prescribed methamphetamine as a diet pill and antidepressant known by the brand name Methedrine. webmd.com
Methamphetamine causes increased activity and talkativeness, decreased appetite, and a general sense of well-being. drugabuse.gov
Methamphetamine is a Schedule II stimulant, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and is available only through prescription. Medical uses are limited, mostly for the treatment of narcolepsy, and doses are much lower than by those who abuse it. drugabuse.gov
Signs that someone is using meth include: long periods of time without food or sleep; agitated behavior, excited speech, irritability, nervousness, and increased physical activity; and wide pupils and increased heart rate. webmd.com
Meth can be smoked, snorted, injected or orally ingested. drugabuse.gov
Methamphetamine can alter moods in a variety of ways depending on how it is taken. If smoked or injected, users generally experience a rush that lasts only a few minutes, but is described as extremely pleasurable. Snorting or oral ingestion usually produces a high, but not an intense rush. drugabuse.govPHOTO: justice.gov
Meth is often abused in a "binge and crash" pattern. Some abusers go on a "run" in which they do not sleep or eat while continually using the drug for up to several days. drugabuse.gov
High doses of methamphetamine can increase body temperature to deadly levels, as well as cause seizures and permanently damage blood vessels in the brain leading to stroke. webmd.comPHOTO: justice.gov
The high from methamphetamine lasts from eight to 24 hours. webmd.comPHOTO: commons.wikimedia.org
Meth can be detected in a urine drug screen up to 48 hours after use. webmd.com
When the high of meth wears off, users are often left feeling depressed, fatigued and irritable. After heavy use some people may even become psychotic or paranoid and may be unable to feel any pleasure, making them crave the drug. webmd.com
Methamphetamine may permanently damage the brain cells that make dopamine as well as those that make serotonin, both chemicals involved in pleasure. webmd.com
The chemicals and ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine are often illegally diverted from legitimate goods and sources like over-the-counter cold medicines and fertilizer. whitehouse.gov
The production of meth consists of many hazardous, flammable chemicals that can cause fires and explosions during the cooking process.
Many of the chemicals used in cooking meth can be very harmful. Short-term exposure to high concentrations of these chemical vapors can cause lung damage, chemical burns, and even death. wisconsin.gov
Depending on the amount of methamphetamine possession upon arrest, a person may be convicted of either a Class D, Class C or Class B felony. lexisnexis.com
A person who is a manufacturer of meth is guilty of a Class Y felony upon conviction. lexisnexis.com
The 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimated that 10.4 million people 12 years old or older have tried methamphetamine at some point in their lives. drugabuse.govPHOTO: justice.gov

Make them look like other houses. There is a WTC mod why can you build something like that?
Posted on July 20, 2011 3:15AM by Cubexd
@Cubexd I could try but im not sure because it will take time and i will spend lot of objects in it
Posted on July 20, 2011 3:26AM by TheLastCommand
Cube- because the WTC is another kind of mod- it's a 'real' map mod, not just a building made of objects. It's an integral part of the game when you install it, it erases some buildings of the original map, you don't have to spawn any objects etc.
TLC- nice, all of your mods are awesome ;P

This is very COOL!! But yeah i think "modern house" was a longshot of a name considering it appears to be built from what looks like sections of privacy fences slapped together..makes it kinda feel like a giant shack actually...but it still looks great and it is definitely unique and you have some serious talent so im giving it a 10!

text: It's ridiculous that anyone would read the New York Times for music coverage. Still the sad truth is that staff critic Jon Caramanica wields serious influence over the commercial hip-hop landscape, his master narratives weaving mittens for inept writers everywhere to handle trend rappers. So with another Grammy gala toasting mediocrity upon us, I thought it was a fitting time to eviscerate his write-up of last week's Stretch and Bob reunion show

If the elite Quarterbacks are considered to be the Top 5 Qb's in todays NFL, then public perception ranks Eli at number 5. however, Ever since Matt ryan has entered the NFL for the exception of 2009 he has steadily improved. The only knock on him is that he has yet to win in the playoffs.
Is it possible that matt ryan may be considered among the elites if he is able to win it all this year? if not, do you think public perception will start considering him to be better than ELi? If Eli has another down year, will the NFL along with the fans start to feel that Matt ryan is the better guy? Do you think Matt ryan will be better when their careers are over?
If so, then why? If not then explain.
I thought about this a couple weeks ago and im curious to how you guys feel.
