The Arbour
November 15, 1971
The house is decorated for a party. The furniture has been
pushed to the sides to create a dance floor. There are
several couples dancing, including David and Emily.
It's hot in here, stuffy. A
birthday party for twins makes
for quite a houseful of guests.
Do you want to go outside for a
few minutes? It's mild today,
above freezing. It's not snowing
for the first time in a week. I
think we should take advantage of
Sure, I'd like that. We haven't
had a second to ourselves since
you got here. I really miss you,
David. With you on a different
shift every other week, and me
going into semester finals, I
hardly get to see you at all!
They stop at the back door just long enough to get on coats
and boots. They go outside.
Let's go to the arbour at the end
of your back yard. The pines look
so nice with the snow on them.
Like christmas trees. We can sit
and talk for a bit, catch up on
all the news from school and
home.I see there's a path to the
arbour. we won't have to wade
through the snow.
They walk off the patio into a path that has been dug
through two feet of snow.
I've been helping mom and Judy get
ready for the party all day.Dad
and Kyle must have dug this out
some time this afternoon. I
wonder why?
Actually, Kyle and I dug this path
today. I aked him to help me,
because I needed a quiet private
place to talk to you tonight. I
know you've always loved the
It's true, I have always.loved it,
no matter what the season.
They walk down the path and enter the arbour through a
lattice archway intertwined with thick vines that are now
without leaves or blossoms. There is a long wide marble
bench with a spruce hedge directly behind it.
Why is the duvet cover from your
bed on the bench? Does your mom
know about this?
Mom doesn't know, but I don't
think she'll mind. The marble is
freezing to sit on. I want you be
comfortable when I talk to you.
It's really important, and I
don't want you distracted by a
frozen butt.
Okay, I'm really intrigued now.
What are you up to?
You'll see, have a seat.
David kneels on one knee on a fresh bed of pine needles that
have been recently spread in front of the bench. He takes
both of her hands in his, and gazes lovingly up into her
Emily, I love you. I have always
loved you, and I will always love
you. Past, present and future. My
love for you is embedded in my
heart and soul forever. It would
make me the happiest man alive if
you would marry me.
Stunned, Emily stares at him, speechless for a moment. Tears
of joy roll down her face. she leans forward as he turns his
face up to hers.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!! I
love you I love you I love you I
love you!!!
They kiss long and passionately. He is still kneeling, she
leans forward from the bench. He takes a tiny satin covered
jewel box from his pocket.
I love you Em. More every day.
He opens it to reaveal a gold ring with a yellow topaz and
opal in the middle, surrounded by diamonds. Her birthstone
for November, and his birthstone for October. He puts the
ring on her finger. It's perfect. He gets up off the ground
and they snuggle and kiss for awhile.
(admiring ring)
I've never seen anything so
beautiful! Did you design it?
I knew I wanted both our birth
stones, but mom suggested the
heart shape of diamonds around
them. It turned out pretty well.
Kyle borrowed one of your rings
from your jewellery box for the
So only your parents and Kyle
knew, that's good. At least I get
to surprise somebody about it.
uuuhh... your parents know too. I
asked them for their blessing to
marry you.
I'm assuming you got it.
Oh yeah, they were thrilled. Your
mom hugged me and cried. Your dad
shook my hand and then hugged me.
That was weird. I've never been
hugged by any man but my dad.
Emily throws her arms around him and they kiss some more.
Suddenly they heard some loud whistling coming down the
newly dug path. The whistling stops several feet away
Come out come out wherever you are. Emily, if you don't come
in soon, Joanie's going to cut the cake without you!
David and Emily stood up and straightened their clothing as
best they could and walked out of the arbour through the

A 77-year-old man has died after his car was struck by a rush-hour train at a level crossing in North Yorkshire.
The elderly driver was pronounced dead at the scene after his vehicle was hit by the 8.48am First TransPennine Express train near Malton.
One train passenger said part of the car was "impaled" by the front of the train, causing a metallic-sounding crash that threw an object – thought to be an oil drum – from the vehicle.
"Looks like part of car is impaled on front of train front carriage now being evacuated and cleared," tweeted John Oxley, an archaeologist at York council.
A police spokesman said: "British transport police are currently dealing with an incident at Ivy Lea rail crossing in Scampston, near Malton, following a report at 9.16am that a car had been struck by a passenger service at the crossing.
"BTP officers are currently at the scene, alongside colleagues from North Yorkshire police, Yorkshire ambulance service, Yorkshire air ambulance and North Yorkshire fire and rescue service. Sadly the driver of the car, who is believed to be a 77-year-old local man, has died."
The spokesman said no passengers on the train were injured, but the train driver was treated for shock.
"Officers are currently working to establish the circumstances surrounding the collision, formally identify the man and inform his family. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch and the Office of Rail Regulation have been informed," the spokesman said.
The train was heading from Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street. Network Rail said all trains to and from Manchester and Liverpool were terminating at York and the only route out of Scarborough was via Hull.

Iron Sky
Imagine a colony of Nazis fleeing Earth in 1945 to set up a base on the dark side of the moon. Then fast forward to 2018, where a Sarah Palin lookalike is running for her second term as US president, and hoping she can bask in some reflected glory by reinvigorating the US space program by landing an African American astronaut on the moon. But the best laid plans come undone when the astronaut, James Washington (Christopher Kirby), stumbles upon the Nazi base. Soon the Nazis are back on the march, and the president has the opportunity of her career—ride a wave of further glory as a wartime president, defending Earth from space Nazis.
It's a wacky idea, co-written and directed by Finnish filmmaker Timo Vourensola who has form in the genre. In 2005 he made a Star Trek spoof called Star Wreck. The development of the project is also a fascinating story. Ten per cent of the 7.5 million euro budget was raised online via crowdfunding—something more and more filmmakers are doing (just this month novelist Brett Easton Ellis and veteran filmmaker Paul Schrader pitched their new project to the masses via the Kickstarter site). The rest of Iron Sky's budget came via a Finnish German Australian co-pro deal. All this makes it a key case study in clever financing and marketing, but it's also a well made B-movie (the Nazi space ships over Manhattan are a fun spectacle), and a clever one, with some witty references to a whole raft of other films. Perhaps it doesn't deliver the hilarity you'd hope and sometimes labours a little to hard to be a political critique, but it's certainly worth a look.

However, the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority is working to make the public aware that the endangered species and the San Antonio water supply are not the only ones being hurt. When the aquifer is low, the Guadalupe River is also affected adversely. Bill West, general manager for GBRA. said the level of the aquifer directly affects spring flow at the Comal and San Marcos springs. He said these springs contribute 30 to 70 percent of the Guadalupe River's "base flow." This means that during a normal year, when rains are adding to the river, spring flow accounts for 30 percent of the river's (low. During a drought, that number jumps to 70 percent. "The springs contribute enough so that if they dried up, you would have a trickle of a river," he said. West said this point is better illustrated by looking at the river flow in Victoria. The general public tends to believe the further away you get from the source of the water, the smaller its impact. Ile said the total flow at Victoria is a third of what it normally is. As of Wednesday, 86 percent of that flow comes from the Canyon Reservoir Release and Comal and San Marcos springs. "That shows you how much the springs impact it, even that far away," West said. "If it has that much impact at the end of the river, it's just as significant, if not more, higher up where we're at." West said the aquifer is important to endangered species. He said they start to die when the flow gets to about 200 cubic feet per second, which is not very far away. However, he said that as levels continue to drop, the river also drops, and threatens the basic water supply for many people dependent on the river. "People have the perception that protecting the aquifer is just about protecting the endangered species," West said. "It's also about people's livelihood, and the public needs to be made aware of that." Due to artificial damming of the river at several points, it is hard to tell how low the river really is. However, West said, when you get out of town, the impact of the drought and the springs is more evident. He said if the springs do go dry, it will be much more evident because the river will be "a trickle." "In the 1950s, the Comal (Springs) went dry. There is a better than 50/50 chance that the Comal (Springs) will go dry by the end of summer," said West. "The public needs to understand what that would mean."

CHS walked away with the win despite temperatures that dropped into the 30s. Raid nets 30 grams of methamphetamine A 43-year-old Canyon Lake housewife. Christine Cole, and a 44-year-old man. Nathan Morris, have been arrested by Comal County narcotics and patrol officers, after they were served with an arrest and search warrant at their home on Island View in Canyon Lake. Officers found approximately 30 grams of alleged methamphetamine during the midnight Friday raid. Measuring scales, packaging materials, syringes and other narcotic paraphernalia w ere discovered, according to a report from tile Comal County Sheriffs Office. Because of the quantity of alleged drugs and the packaging materials, officers have charged the man and woman with possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. Sufficient amounts of the alleged drugs were found to elevate the charge to a first degree felony, punishable by a prison term of five to 99 years, and a fine of up to SI0,000. Both have pnor convictions for the same types of drug offense, and Mr. Morris is currently on parole for drug charges.

Marion cable service upgraded By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer MARION A "social contract" with the federal government will mean better cable service for Marion residents, a Paragon Cable spokesw oman told the City Council on Monday night. "On March IS, we will start upgrading and marketing our fiber optic system to our customers," Gena Nivens said. "This will mean more channels, a better system and less outages (for the customers)." Nivens briefed the council on the latest developments at Paragon Cable in regards to a contract Paragon's sister company, Time-Wamer, signed with the Federal Communications Commission recently. Nivens said the contract has to do with settling claims about rates in other Time-Wamer systems, not Paragon's. The contract, w hich is for five years, lias to do with a settlement Time-Wamer had with the FCC concerning the Cable Act of 1992. Under the agreement, Nivens said. Paragon will make major improvements to its fiber optic system. "Betw een all of our 29 franchise cities we serve, we will make SI20 million in improvements to our fiber optic system," Nivens said. "As part of the social contract, we will put free cable hookups to all schools by 2001 and we will develop a computer modem system, which w ill be available to all schools." Mayor Glenn Hild said Paragon Cable has prov ided good serv ice for Marion, citing few problems with the company. In other business, the council considered action regarding the fate of the former 1,200 square foot post office building next to city hall. The city had leased the building to the U.S. Postal Serv ice until they moved to their new building on FM 78 a week and a half ago. "We could utilize the buildings ourselves or we could look into leasing it again," Hild said. "It might make a nice site for a physician's office or medical clinic for the community." Houses set up to sell themselves By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer A local realty company has decided to let their houses "talk for themselves." Starting immediately, house hunters will be able to find out about a house by simply driving through the neighborhood and tuning in their radio. "Prospective buyers will be able to tune in from the comfort of their automobile, gaining an insight into the personality of the property," said Toya Ohlnch-Lindsey, owner/broker of Jack Chinch Realty, Inc. Small transmitters are being placed in selective homes. T hese transmitters, which are the size of a telephone answering machine, will have a computer chip programmed with a one to two minute message on them highlighting the property. The message will repeat continuously 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "It's like having an on-site sales person at all times," said Lindsey. The transmitters are not new to bigger cities such as San Antonio and Austin, but are new to New Braunfels. Lindsey said 43 percent of buyers find their homes by driving around neighborhoods. She said typically a sign is put in the yard of the property stating the name of the Realtor and the phone number. Prospective buyers then have to write down the number, wait until working hours, and set up an appointment just to get any information on the property. Lindsey said with the transmitters, all the prospective buyer has to do is tune into 1610 on the AM radio dial. "lf they want more information, they literally have it at their finger tips on the AM on their radio," said Lindsey. "I think it's an opportunity to strike when the iron s hot." Lindsey said it took the company about a month to gather the information, decide to pursue it, and install the transmitters. She said they w ill he the only one in New Braunfels offering this service, and does not expect others to follow in their steps. "It's a point of difference," she said. "I don't think other companies will want to be seen as a copycat " (See Page SB for more information.)

Change in Illinois Law Allows Blood Donors with Ink
WHAT: Illinois legislation now allows individuals who got a tattoo after Jan. 1, 2010, to skip the previously enforced 12-month waiting period before donating blood as long as they got their tattoo at a business inspected by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
"In 2005, I got a tattoo of a Mayan calendar in honor of my Hispanic heritage and I was really disappointed that I had to wait a year to be eligible to donate blood," said José Sanchez, an information systems technician at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital who is a regular blood donor. "In July 2010, I got a second tattoo featuring the names of my two daughters – Maya and Isabella – and because it is after Jan. 1, 2010, I can continue to give blood."
Sanchez and other hospital staff members at Loyola's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital are rolling up their sleeves and donating blood in an American Red Cross blood drive on Friday, Sept. 28.
"Hispanic blood is particularly in need, so I always give when I can," said Sanchez, who like 57 percent of Hispanics in America is blood Type O, the universal donor. More than 60 percent of the population is eligible to give blood yet fewer than 3 percent in Chicagoland are donors. Less than 1 percent of area donors are Hispanic.
Like Sanchez, Jorge Maldonado, a hospital chaplain, is Hispanic and also is a regular blood donor. "Giving blood for me is easy and it means so much to help others to keep going," said Maldonado, who was also a regular blood donor in his native Chile. "There are so many Hispanics in Chicago. I feel it is even more important for me to give, and I can help whoever may be in need."
Blood is called "the gift of life" because there is no synthetic substitute.
WHO: Jose Sanchez, Jorge Maldonado and nurses, technicians, phlebotomists, physicians and more who care for patients around-the-clock at Loyola University Health System are voluntarily donating their own blood to help those in need.
WHEN: 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Friday, Sept. 28
WHERE: Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, 701 W. North Ave. Melrose Park, Ill.
MEDIA: Please call Stasia Thompson at (708) 417-5036.
WHY: Capture nurses, doctors and hospital staff donating blood to help others. Learn about changes in blood donation rules including newer Illinois tattoo laws.

Broken by WildCroconaw
(author's notes: this fic was written about a month after sunrise came out and a bit before I began posting devon's evil secret)
Summary: written I just finished Sunrise and boy was I shocked! While reading about Honeyfern's death, I was thinking about how her family felt after the burial and I got an idea in my head. Naturally I rushed to type it up before I forgot it , which has happened in ah, certain cases-
Mia1986: coughScarssequelcough
(WC ignores her) This is from the POV of Cinderheart. I don't know how was born first but I am saying that Honeyfern was the oldest and then Cinderheart, Molepaw and Poppyfrost (I have no clue if that is even correct) .I don't own sunrise so forgive me if I bungle any thing up. I am just focusing on Honeyfern and the cats that were close to her during this story. Yes I know some of the cats might I do not own any of the characters. Thanks
I couldn't believe it. Honeyfern, my older sister was dead. To me it did not seem like it was real, it couldn't be real. But I had seen the whole thing happen as did most of the clan. I think it terrified little Briarkit the most, since the snake was about to bite her before Honeyfern saved her.
Sorreltail was really distraught over her death and I can't blame her. She has had a lot of family members pass away. Molepaw, my little brother, passed away due to greencough and it really hurt her spirit. Not to mention that my uncle Rainwhisker was killed during a storm when my siblings and i were about four moons old
After the body is moved I padded up to Sorreltail and Brackenfur , who is comforting her.
"my little girl, gone. Oh Brackenfur, did I do something wrong?"
"I know, Sorreltail. It's hard to think that she's gone"
"Is this StarClan's way of punishing me for something I did?" she wept. Poor Sorreltail I thought.
"Of course not, Sorreltail. It's not your fault at all. " Brackenfur patted her on head with his tail. He turned around and saw me. "Oh, hello Cinderheart."
I can tell he's trying not to cry like Sorreltail and it's hurting him. By StarClan it's hurting me not to bawl my brains out like an abandoned kit! I went up to Sorreltail and rubbed my pelt against hers before sitting next to her. "Sorreltail, it's gonna be okay. Even though M-Molepaw and H-H-Honeyfern aren't w-with us r-r-right now" the words got stuck in my throat like a piece of fresh kill too big to swallow in one bite, "they are still with us in our hearts and minds and they are looking down on us from StarClan".
Sorreltail and Brackenfur both looked at me. Sorreltail sniffed a bit. "That's right. " she purred as she looked me in the eyes. "I keep the memories of my brothers and my parents in my heart".
Brackenfur looks at me. "I remember my sister Cinderpelt as well even though she is long gone"
"the old medicine cat that I'm named after?" I asked. According to Brackenfur I have several qualities of my aunt, such as my boundless energy and the way I flick my paw over my ear.
My father nodded and chuckled. "The very same. You remind me of her a lot, Cinderheart. In fact, what you just said seems like something that she would say. "
"And " a voice came from behind us. I turned around and saw my sister Poppyfrost pad toward us, Berrynose behind her, "You still have Cinderheart and me"
Poppyfrost reached us and gave Brackenfur and Sorreltail licks on their cheeks. I noticed that Berrynose is sitting behind her, shifting his stump of a tail looking nervous. Sorreltail smiled at us sadly.
" I know still have you two but It's just hard. my heart has been broken so many times." She let out a few sobs. "first I was nearly killed as a kit ." Poppyfrost and I shuddered. We had heard the story behind that when we were in the nursery. "then I lost Whitestorm and Willowpelt..." she trailed off apparently lost in memories.
"They still watch over you from StarClan, sweet Sorreltail." Brackenfur nuzzled her cheek a few times. She got her strength from his gesture and continued.
"..then Sootfur died when you two were born" she looked at us. I had heard stories about him.
"And then Rainwhisker lost his life in that storm and Molepaw could not survive his fight with greencough" Poppyfrost ended in a whisper.
Brackenfur sighed. "Our little family has gone through so much heartbreak over the seasons I'm surprised our hearts are not totally broken"
I thought of something. " But even though our hearts are broken, our spirits remain strong. " they all looked at me. "Sorreltail, didn't you tell Poppyfrost and I that even when you were hit by the monster and had to spend three moons in Cinderpelt's den, you were determined to resume your training to become a warrior?"
"Well yes."
"Father," I focused on Brackenfur. "When the badgers attacked and mother was giving birth to us, Mousefur told me that you defended the nursery like you were a member of LionClan, even when Cinderpelt was killed."
Poppyfrost nodded, she well recalled that story. Bracken purred with fatherly pride at being called a member of LionClan. "That's very true."
"Um, Brackenfur? Sorreltail?" Berrynose padded over to where we were sitting. I had forgotten the he was here.
"What is it, Berrynose?" Brackenfur asked the young warrior.
"I-I'm really sorry about Honeyfern. Truly I am. Sh-She was a wonderful cat. " Berrynose looked as if he was holding something back and couldn't stand it. "I loved your daughter. She was really special and I totally ignored her when I was first made a warrior. I shouldn't have rejected her if I knew that this would happen."
We looked at him understanding what he was saying.
"Berrynose "Poppyfrost began. ". Honeyfern was head over paws in love with you. "
He was surprised. "She was?"
I smiled. "you bet. In fact, during your warrior ceremony, she was looking at you like you descended from StarClan"
Sorreltail and Brackenfur sighed. "She truly thought you were an awesome tom." Sorreltail told him.
"She was looking at you during her own ceremony. It was like you were the only cat in the whole camp" Brackenfur agreed.
"I wish that I could have said yes to her, but I was too busy being..."
"a stuck-up mouse brain?" I suggested and my parents, Poppyfrost and Berrynose all laughed. We all needed that laugh.
"Yeah, that" he nodded. "I hope you don't mind if I sit vigil with you tonight"
"Not at all and don't forget Berrynose, she still lives in your heart" Poppyfrost meowed.
"And when I'm guarding the camp" he added. "I can see her spirit in StarClan"
"If I know my older sister, she wouldn't want us to be sad at all. She want us to help out the clan " I meowed.
We got to our paws. "Anyone up for some hunting?" Sorreltail asked.
"Sure thing" we all said. Hunting would take our minds off of this sad day.
The next day after I had gone on a patrol and brought back some fresh kill, I decided to visit Briarkit. I found her in front of the nursery where Millie was talking to her. She looked up when she saw me.
"Hi Cinderheart" she meowed.
"Hi Briarkit, hi Millie" I replied. "how are you today?"
"We're good." Millie purred. "Bumblekit and Blossomkit are taking a nap inside with Daisy and her kits. But this little one" she patted Briarkit on the head with her tail "said she couldn't sleep."
"I had a scary dream about the snake" she looked up at me with her blue eyes, so much like her mother's. I knew she was still scared.
I sat down next to her. "Briarkit, there is nothing to be scared of. The snake is gone. Firestar made sure of that."
She sighed. "I don't wanna end up like-like Honeyfern" she sobbed
"Sweetheart, that won't happen to you" Millie licked Briarkit's head once. The little kit looked up at her mother. "Remember the thorn barrier? And the mouse filled with death berries? If those don't stop the snakes from coming out, ..."
"Then we use the tools our ancestors gave us" I unsheathed my claws for a few seconds to show how sharp they were and then retracted them back in my paws.
"Cinderheart?" the dark brown she kit asked me. "D-do you think StarClan is mad at me?"
"Briarkit! what makes you say that" Millie whispered
"Cause I made Honeyfern join their ranks." She replied
"StarClan wouldn't be mad at a kit" I said. "it is not your fault at all. Sometimes, things are meant to be and other times things like that just happen. I'm sure Honeyfern saw it as her duty to protect your from the snake."
Her eyes lit up. "Really?"
Millie purred. "Of course. You're part of ThunderClan and a warrior's duty is to protect all the cats in the clan from danger from the oldest elder to the smallest kit."
Briarkit's whiskers trembled. "I never got to tell her I was sorry for refusing to eat the mouse she gave me when we were in the old Twoleg nest"
"I'm sure her spirit has forgiven you. " Millie mewed. "It's only natural that you wanted me when you were sick with greencough. Do feel better now?"
Briarkit nodded. I smiled. "Maybe you should try to get some sleep"
'K. Thanks Cinderheart, thanks Millie" the dark brown she kit said as she got up and padded back into the nursery.
Millie looked back at the nursery's entrance. "Thanks Cinderheart. I think she was feeling guilty about that."
" No problem. Would you like to share some fresh kill with me?" I asked the queen.
"Sure." She purred in agreement. "See if you can find a squirrel. "
I padded off towards the fresh kill pile in search of that squirrel
The end.
Author's note: Well, how did you like it? Did I get the characters right? Would you like to see something like this from another cat close to Honeyfern?

Edited Release From NYRARaging Fever figures to have an edge in Saturday's $150,000 Bed O' Roses Handicap (gr. III) at Aqueduct. The one-mile race for fillies and mares is the ninth of a 10-race card that begins at 1 p.m. After fighting with Carson Hollow in the March 29 Distaff Breeders Cup Handicap (gr. II), Raging Fever should have things a bit easier up front with no other speed to contend with, but she will have to hold that lead in the stretch over a group of five with a solid late kick. The Distaff Breeders' Cup was the first race for Raging Fever in five months. Her last win came in the June 22 Ogden Phipps Handicap.Nonsuch Bay will avoid the early lead. She can unleash a strong rally from off the pace and can still be effective even if Raging Fever is loose on an early lead.The Bed O' Roses will be the first New York start of the year for Nonsuch Bay, entering off consecutive chalk victories at Gulfstream, most recently a 4 1/4-length winner of the Banshee Breeze.Another contender will be Alchemilla. The Shug McGaughey-trainee finished second, more than six lengths behind Nonsuch Bay in a March 10 allowance over a sloppy track. Dogwood Stable's Smok'n Frolic has won her last four starts since the summer, including a $411,000 payday in the Sunshine Millions Distaff at Santa Anita. Her only recent defeat was suffered at the hands of Allamerican Bertie, who wired the field in the grade II Rampart Handicap. Since then, Smok'n Frolic came back to win the Next Move (gr. III) as the 4-5 favorite.Jockey John Velazquez, who has ridden Alchemilla, Nonsuch Bay, and Raging Fever in the past, opts to stick with Smok'n Frolic in the Bed O' Roses.The field for Saturday's $150,000 Bed O' Roses Handicap includes:
1 -- Nonsuch Bay (Eibar Coa, 117)
2 -- Smok' n Frolic (John Velazquez, 120)
3 -- Bonefide Reason (Jose Santos, 111)
4 -- Alchemilla (Shaun Bridgmohan, 111)
5 -- Raging Fever (Aaron Gryder, 119)

The NBA has grown exponentially in the past 25 years on multiple levels. On a macro level, by expanding their brand to a global audience and adding franchises. On a micro level, by implementing replays and allowing for zone defenses.
Chris Bosh is nearly as famous for his comical, and often ill-timed photos as he is for his All Star caliber game. A popular meme is how the former Toronto Raptors forward bears resemblance to an actual dinosaur.
Youtuber MkEliteWorksX put together an NBA 2K13 video which features Bosh playing as a dinosaur. Now, this is much bulkier than the real-life Heat big man, but it's hilarious all the same.
Check out the video below to see Chris Boshm, The Dinosaur, balling in NBA2K.

And a huge thank. sou for your work
As for Ristolainen I think if we compare him to 2 Finns about the same age. That way we can better put in perspective his value. Ristolainen is about the same age as Olli Määttä and Ville Pokka. Määttä ended up going about 20th overall to Pittsburgh and Pokka was an early 2nd round pick by the Islanders.
From what I can gather Ristolainen has never really dominated at any level. Not saying he's a bad player, but compared to Määttä and Pokka he hasn't been as good. Size and mobility is interesting in his case but he's more of a project at this point.
As for Nishuchkin, he has come off well this year but his vision (or lackthereof) pretty much makes him drop in my rankings. The goal totals is nice but the assists aren't there in his case. He's a spectacular player to watch but the consistency doesn't seem to be there in his case.
Kahun's size must be working against him in most rankings but for as long as he keeps playing this way, it shouldn't hold him back too much. He's playing fairly well at even strength, which is a knock on most small forwards.

Day two. Up in the morning buzzing with excitment. Got to the swim and the smell of bird shit was turning the stomach. The water felt tropical.. got the head down, breathing every 2 strokes to stop the googles coming and get the breathing going. Managed 1:09. T1 was smooth. 4mins. no boobs though . Straight on the bike, golden boots whizzed by. Ride out was very pace, felt good, maintained aerobic HR. Loop one was good, with oxton mount smashed (smaller than my road), shot into Southwell. Loop 2 the head wide was a ball ache. average speed drop 5mph! Some were drafting my back wheel... cheating MF'ers!!! All on TT bikes as well!! At 90 miles the legs felt like jelly.. was feeling like I was bonking and the marathon was looking a non-starter. However, 102 miles found the second wind... the drafters were starting to pass and that pissed me off... so I knuckled down and came in at 5:47!! I was on for sub 11... big boost!! I did the marathon in 3:57 last year and I had 3:55 to play with. Passed mille on the first lap of the run and she looked very good.. had a small chat before feed station 1. Wind on the back straight was torture. went for a run/walk for the first 4 feed stations, just to get the energy levels back up. Then swopped to my 20 min two gels and water at the nearest feed station tactic and it work very well. Saw microbeman on the second lap which gave me another lift along with the pirate support. Came in at 3:47 to give me a total of 10:52... Result!! Hit the massage table, food tent and watch my fellow pirates coming in. Microbeman came in at 13:20, which was pretty cool! Headed back to the campsite, washed, changed and hit the regatta bar ready to cheer the last pirates in over the chute... and Sid of course.... amazing finishing to a truely fantastic day! To be continued...

This chaingang was when I was on my first southern loop, and the six hour peleton were on their second. Was totally blatant, and as it was a long stretch I watched them go off into the distance, not a single change of place or attempt to pass.
Ditto - must have been the same lot I saw and pretty much the same point......it was blatant in the extreme....
Still at least I know my ride was all mine so to speak and not "assisted" in anyway
Can you confirm that the chain gang were all part of the race?
On the feed station we saw a few groups of cyclists coming through and thought they were all drafting until they didn't take anything from us and they were just out for a fast group ride
Morning Peeps
There were a lot of the "usual Sunday morning chain gangs" out and about... I saw quite a few bike marshals as well. Lots of quick people came past on thier second lap as I was on my first.... I tried to take pace (), But not a cat in hells chance of keeping up with some of them....
Despite being as wide as a barn door I wasn't aware of anyone drafting me - I was too slow! However, when faster people came past they tended to come past in almost a group of half a dozen at the time. I don't know enough to say they were drafting, maybe a yard or two between each one? But to be honest, I was there just to finish and do my own thing. Time was secondary and the only people I was interested in were other Pirates and how they were getting on!
Oh and currently working on my race report! It's a bit long and overly naval gazing at the mo to be honest!!
I think you are all amazing and such an inspiration to newbies like myself but I have to single out Cheg, much respect man, your first Tri and you do choose an Ironman. After reading the reports and speaking to the girls from my Tri Club I'm seriously thinking of doing this race next year, just need to find me a training partner now
There were a lot of bike clubs cycling amongst the race but no doubt some drafting occured. I saw just one small group of 3 apart from that pretty good. There were a few times I saw someone on my back wheel but they werent there for 30 seconds.
In my experience drafting is worst amongst the 50-200 placers (those competing at the sharp end of their age group), thats what ive noticed at races ive been at before (i.e. being lapped), I wasnt amongst this group on Sunday and only the really fast guys lapped me on the southern loop.
I also think its impossible to apply drafting rules in the first 10 miles of the bike, its just impossible to get a 7/10m gap or even find space to ride to the side.
I find if someones drafting me, a quick squirt of sticky sports drink quickly gets the message accross.
Arriving Friday meant I could have all day Saturday to faff... Great meeting up with old friends and meeting some new ones.
Bike and bags racked nice an early on Saturday afternoon, had my 10 seconds of fame when 2 guys walking behind me spotted the DTeS t shirt and one whispered "he's ones of those people in the book", Must mean the Don Fink one ?
Sunday alarm at 4:30, but was already awake, couple of slices of malt loaf, I know I should eat more but whatever I eat I throw up in the swim, so why make it worse than it has to be ? Dosed up with ibuprofen and went over to the start. Last hug and wishes from Sue and off to get the wettie on. Another couple of ibuprofen and into the water, quick word with Holgs and GO... Really got a kicking at the start and couldn't find clear water for about 2 miles ! Within 5 minutes I knew I was in trouble with my shoulder, It hasn't been right since I was knocked off the bike 2 weeks ago, trying to swim normally was agony, trying not to pull hard with my right arm meant I veered off left, so just settled down and found a pace I could cope with. By the time I was approaching the finish line I could hear the announcer talking about the cut off time.... Out of the water in a 1:40:31 nearly half an hour down on my last 2.4 mile swim in June.
Quick change (and another couple of ibuprofen) and out onto the bike, trod on a channel 4 camera man laid on the ground in transition as he tried to get artistic shot of a young lady's bum leaving before me ! Good to have the lap of the lake to get settled and have my breakfast. Had a bit of a moment leaving the water sports centre as the back wheel stepped out on me.
First few miles flew by, really enjoying myself, and having got the swim over I could relax. Stopped at the second feed station to fill my aerobottle and one of the helpers decided to "launch me back into the fray" as he had seen on the Tour De France, all he managed to do was bash me in the small of the back and split a gel that was in my monaco pocket, had the sensation of blackcurrant SiS dribbling down my bum for the next 20 miles...... Pirate feed station as brilliant as ever, sorry for hitting Min with the drinks bottle, but I was after the goal honest. Yet more ibuprofen and keep pushing the pedals
As usual let the mind wander, did anyone notice how noisy some peoples bikes are ? I can't claim to be perfect but there is hardly a sound from mine even when really pushing hard, but the number of bikes with clattering gears and strange rattles would have driven me insane. Saw an old mate of mine Chris from my pre triathlon motorsport days who had driven over to watch, sadly hadn't seen Sue which always makes me worry, just as I finished the 2nd loop it started to pour down and I finally saw Sue so was able to throw her my shades. The last 15 miles or so were very slippy and the rough section through the hall were a bit of a joke, meeting an ambulance coming the other way at full tilt gave me a bit of a moment.
Into T2 and handed the bike over, quickish change (another couple of ibuprofen) and out onto the run. Started alongside Nicko who had just completed his 1 st lap of the lake,
Having only run 13.1 miles in training, as my longest run and that was the Chester half, the marathon was always going to be one foot in front of the other. The first couple of laps were OK, stopped and had a quick chat with Sue and of course loads of Pirates both on course and supporting to motivate me. Thanks to Cake for the swift Guinness at the end of my first lap.... anything would have been better than more High 5, the black stuff was perfect. Managed a quick chat with Holgs at one of the feed stations, he was in a world of pain by then
Last hug and kiss from Sue and it was off for one last lap of the lake, steady plod down the lake and turn left to the finish.... Stopped and grabbed a beer of a Pirate supporter, muttered something about retirement in general and then completely missed Sue hanging over the barriers ! (Yes I have grovelled and been reminded several times)
Met up with Holgs and Wild Will in the food tent, and stuffed my face with chicken and rice, then out on to the grandstand to join in the Pirate merrymaking.
Highlights, Brilliant bike really enjoyed myself, but possibly left too much out on the road, low lights the swim, I suppose I really should have withdrawn, but if it was easy etc..... Managing to take a whole packet of ibuprofen without killing myself....
Monday morning and being told by Sue that I was free to carry on going long, she doesn't mind the training etc, But she wasn't going to watch anymore and as she find it so stressful, Having missed me on the bike everywhere she went to spectate she was convinced I had come off and even asked an ambulance crew to check and see if I was reported retired !
She then presented me with a voucher for a pamper session at the gym / health club we are members at so Tuesday evening a spent 2 hours being massaged, hot stoned and generally being pampered.
So thanks to Sue, the kids who spent all day cluttering up mobile network trying to get text reports of how I was doing, and the Pirate Massive for support, High 5 and generally being all-round good eggs !
Well I did a long distance The Big Woody (well almost the distance), I have done an IM branded event, IMUK and now I have done the Pirate Championship event... Ticked all the boxes, and last weekend got the biggest tick of all.
Thanks to all of you for making the day what it was. I will enjoy watching the next one from my bath chair parked alongside Fat Buddha's.........
Suppose if anyone needed a cyclist for a relay .....
SA - er yes, unless they had all carefully made themselves race numbers for their Sunday club ride....

One person was a DQ for abusive behavior in registration the day before! Can you imagine?
We spoke to Theresa at OSB on Monday morning about that - it seems the guy was pretty abusive to a few people during registration. I think he's been banned from any future OSB event. What is it with some people??
As for drafting, it's usually a 2min penalty if caught once - usually due to someone not dropping back quick enough if overtaken - although if it's blatant it can be straight DQ. It's a judgement call on the part of the motorbike draftbuster - who are all trained BTF officials btw - and there is no appeal process.
Sadly the draftbusters can't be everywhere so you will always get acusations of it happening - genuine and accidental. The best thing to do if someone is dfrafting you is to let them go past, leave a gap and then carry on making sure you don't draft them. If they are persistently drafting then swear at them, or squirt a water bottle at them, but try to avoid any outright conflict. That's the recommended methods - I will however leave it up to the individual to decide their own best approach.....
I had no problems with anybody drafting me.... they would have got a good soaking if they did
and FB... please please please apologise to Petal who took my bike off me
I didnt see any draftbusters the whole way round - compared to any IM event I've done - I've always seen a few - and even got told off for chatting to Gladys uphill last year.
I saw a husband and wife draft team riding together - they had the same cagoules underneath their saddles, but apart from that - not too much really. I think I was too near the back of the field and all the drafting was being done by people who had bothered to learn to swim. So competitive eh ?
GB - don't sweat about it - you were in the zone like many others....
we had all sorts to contend with coming in to T2 - those in the zone; those glad to hand over the bike ("I never want to see it again"); the precious ("please rack it nicely"); those that could hardly stand up; and many others who gave us a thank you which wasn't needed but was nice all the same.
and for those who peed on the bike........

Good grief - you can't take the children anywhere these days can you without them being unreliable..........?
I can't remember what I said when I eventually I got off the bike or even who took it off me so if I forgot my manners please accept thanks now - it felt so "pro", I've never had someone rack my bike for me before
Podds - that wouldn't have been me or P as we'd switched stations by the time you came in. I should also thank on behalf of everyone all the Air Cadets who were in T2 acting as rackers - we just took the bikes off the athletes, these "kids" did the running back and fore to the racking spots...
lol - I did wonder. But the finish chute atmosphere being what it is, I felt as though he was a dear, close friend when he came through.

Whether they make mistakes or not, the New York Red Bulls have sent a strong message of their belief in the ability of Roy Miller and Luis Robles to win the club an MLS Cup title.
The Red Bulls announced on Monday that they have signed both the left back Miller and goalkeeper Robles to new contracts, tying them down for the 2014 season. Per league and team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
"With one of our goals being to create long-term continuity within our roster, we are very pleased to have signed Roy and Luis to new contracts," Red Bulls sporting director Andy Roxburgh said in a statement. "Both players were important players for our team in 2013, and we are happy to keep them in New York."
Both players committed costly errors at separate times during the season, but at the same time also came up some stellar plays. In Robles' case, the 29-year-old made a number of tremendous saves on his way to 17 wins and 11 shutouts, including three in the Red Bulls' final six matches. Robles also saved a league-best three penalty kicks.
Miller meanwhile was injured or on international duty for most of the season but had his best spell in April and May. Following a horrible decision early in the season to encroach in the penalty area against the San Jose Earthquakes, Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke gave the Costa Rican international some extra time to clear his head, and after the international break, Miller came back with purpose and a newfound sense of belief.
Though he missed the last ten games of the 2013 season with an Achilles injury, Miller played 17 times for the Red Bulls, 16 of them as a starter. Miller is expected to miss up to one month next season as he's a very likely call-up to the Costa Rican National Team for next summer's World Cup in Brazil.
Reports late last week originally stated that the longest-tenured Red Bulls player would leave the club and return to Costa Rica. However, those reports turned out to be inaccurate.
What do you think of this news? Glad to see Robles and Miller sign new contracts? Do you see them playing even better next season? Where else do the Red Bulls need to upgrade?
Share your thoughts below.
Roy Miller is terrible. TERRIBLE. So obviously I'm not the least bit surprised by this development. Yippee.
How so? Last year, post-gaffe, he was one of our better players. He's a bit of a scapegoat/whipping boy, often undeservedly.
After the SJ debacle, he played very well. If he'd been healthy come playoff time, they wouldn't have the disatrous David Carney out there to pass the ball directly to the opponent right in front of goal and may have won the series against Houston.
Tim F.
Surprised the team took Miller over Barklage. Was it a concern over Barklage's health?
may have been, but Barklage is more of a RB than a LB. Also, I think they prefer Roy's ability to get forward.
Brain Guy
He's been harshly criticized, and often with good reason, but I think that warts and all, Miller is still a better player than Barklage.
Miller definitely offers more going forward than Barklage, and Petke's making that a priority.
imo it had to be health concerns. miller played like crap since 2010, do we now believe this past 1/2 season that people are praising is how he really plays? amazing that a club would settle for last minute performances to renew contracts, & forgetting about the fact that he cared so little that he did not even know the rules to the league.
Saying he played like crap is a little harsh. He's actually played some pretty good soccer most of the time. However, you can't hide the fact that his biggest mistakes come in the biggest games, and so I can understand why he's painted with the "crap" brush. The truth is he's a good MLS fullback for the money he makes, and team's need guys like that to win in this league.
This isn't a question specifically of SBI, but why is it grammatically correct to say "Red Bulls agree new deals" instead of "Red Bulls agree TO new deals"? I see it all the time in the English press…
Exactly what I was going to say. It's annoying. Let's just agree we don't need to adopt the British way of saying everything. If we talked like that in our own jobs it would not be welcomed
Miller is awful. One half season of decent play at best does not erase the crap he put on the field in seasons prior. RBs deserve whatever brilliant play he can come up with this year…the man gives the ball away constantly yet no one remembers because his other f-ups are that much more monumentally obvious that people have to focus on them & forget the mediocre play. Miller Miller the momentum killer….perfect opportunity to get rid of that liability and of course RB resign him….on April 13th….with a one-eyed winger…..JK i would take an all blind Convey over Miller any day.
Miller is garbage. The only positive things people can say is that he had a good 1/2 season last season all the while forgetting his crap play the seasons before. When the most positive thing people can muster up for you is "better than Carney"……people should get the hint that he sucks. take away his famous errors and you still have someone that carelessly turns the ball over constantly….most players you have to pressure to force an error from them…not MomemtumkILLER! he will gift you the ball with a nifty heelpass
Wow, you are a very clever person.

Seeing higher earnings in your channel reports?
October 19th, 2006 | Published in Google Adsense
Have you ever looked at your ad reports and noticed that your channel data and your aggregate data don't match, even for the same date range? You're not alone -- we often receive emails from publishers who are concerned about this issue, and we're happy to clarify what's going on. Depending on how you've set up your channels, you'll see a larger number of page impressions, clicks and earnings in your channel reports than your aggregate reports for any or all of the following reasons:
Now get tracking (correctly)!
- Your ads are being tracked on multiple URL channels.
Let's say you've set up 2 URL channels - one to track example.com and to track www.example.com/page. The URL channel example.com will track clicks and impressions from all subdomains, subdirectories, and subpages of example.com. As a result, one click on www.example.com/page will be tracked on both of your URL channels, which means you'll see two clicks recorded in your channel reports. However, your aggregate reports will show you the correct number of clicks, one, with no data duplication. You can learn more about how URL channels will track specific pages in our Help Center.
- Your ads are being tracked on both a URL and a custom channel.
Now let's suppose you have a URL channel for example.com and a custom channel called Example Homepage, which you're using on the homepage of example.com. When you receive a click on the ad unit tagged with your Example Homepage custom channel, it will also be tracked on your example.com URL channel. Just like above, this means that you'll see two clicks logged in your channel reports, but only one in your aggregate reports.
- Your ads are being tracked on multiple custom channels.
So you've taken advantage of our new feature, and you're tracking each of your red leaderboards with 2 custom channels -- one called Red_ad_units and one called Leaderboards. One click on a red leaderboard will be tracked in both of your custom channels, so you'll see twice as much data when you compare your channel reports to your aggregate reports.
Now get tracking (correctly)!

Angela Browning, shadow Trade and Industry Secretary, forced a vote on the new regulation because it was "another burden for business". But the opposition to the introduction of a statutory right for 13 weeks' unpaid leave comes only a week after a right-wing think-tank warned William Hague he was "failing" women.
A highly critical report by the Centre for Policy Studies, launched by Margaret Thatcher and Sir Keith Joseph in the 1970s, accused today's Tory party of having "outdated" views on women. "Many women are having difficulty balancing work and family," the report said. "And many in the party hanker for the days of the subservient family woman."
The authors, Tessa Keswick, director of the CPS and former special adviser to Kenneth Clarke, Rosemary Pockley and Angela Guilluame, say the "policy and structure" of the Tory party has to change. The right for unpaid parental leave will be introduced on 15 December.

French Trotter
The French Trotter is a horse breed from Normandy, France, developed in the 1800s and descended from the English Thoroughbred and the Norfolk Trotter. French Trotters are about 16 hands high and can be any solid color - usually chestnut, bay or brown.
Kingfisher Riding Club - Horse & Pony Breeds describes them as "Strong and tough, with long legs. These horses have free-striding, active action, great stamina, and are willing workers."
French Trotters are usually raced pulling two-wheeled vehicles called sulkies, but they are also raced under saddle, or used for jumping and general riding.

Trainer Nick Zito is preparing for a big weekend at Gulfstream Park, saddling runners in the Donn Handicap (gr. I), Davona Dale Stakes (gr. II), Old Hat Stakes (gr. III), and Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III), as well as celebrating his 57th birthday.Zito will send out Seek Gold and Pie's Prospect in Saturday's Donn. G.P.'s Black Knight will represent the Zito stable in the Holy Bull. It will be his first start for the New York-born conditioner since the Birdonthewire Stakes winner was purchased in December.
"We're trying to see if we can get him going forward," said Zito. "He's in great shape and we want to see what we've got. At this time of year it's all about getting (3-year-olds) to each step and getting them to move forward and on to the next spot."
Impressive allowance winner In the Gold will be part of a seven-strong field in the Davona Dale in search of her first stakes victory. She was a close third in the Alcibiades (gr. I) at Keeneland last October.
"The goal with her is the (Kentucky) Oaks," said Zito. "Oaks day is incredible with 100,000 people at the track and it's a race she really looks like we should aim for."Alfonsina will complete Zito's starting five with her 2005 debut in the Old Hat. After winning her first two races at Saratoga and Aqueduct, the daughter of Grand Slam stumbled at the start of the Valley Stream Stakes, but managed to finish second to Megascape.

If coffee is black gold, then there's been a Gold Rush in the past decade, with specialty coffee powers descending on LA from across the US. Homegrown coffee companies have also stepped up, with some growing chains sourcing coffee and others roasting their own beans in-town. In all cases, Angelenos have benefited -- and here are the 18 best of the batch.
Alfred Coffee & Kitchen
Melrose Place
Joshua Zad was smart to open the first Alfred Coffee on Melrose Place, a short West Hollywood street that could easily double as a runway, considering all the models and celebrities that traverse the thoroughfare's high-end clothing shops and boutiques. Better yet for business owners, they end up sharing photos through social media. Alfred's iconic sign, "But first, coffee," is particularly Instagrammable and reinforces Alfred's core focus: pumping out plenty of espresso drinks and cold-brew coffees, all using Stumptown beans, and the ubiquitous Alfred cone -- a chocolate-coated cake cone that holds a double shot of espresso.
Blacktop Coffee
The cousins behind Wurstküche teamed with Tyler Wells, a co-founder of the late, great Handsome Coffee Roasters, on this sleek Arts District coffee bar. Douglas fir and marble are keys to the hip-and-clean aesthetic, and Sightglass coffee, Straus milk, and top-of-the-line equipment make sure the brews stay true. Since opening, they've also supplemented their offerings with creative Sugarbloom pastries and six different toasts (including, obviously, one with avocado).
Civil Coffee
Highland Park
Alex Morales and brother Alan spent time at Handsome Coffee Roasters and Tiago Coffee Bar + Kitchen before branching out on their own with Civil Coffee. Their stylish café on an emerging stretch of Highland Park sports an eagle logo and contains a white-and-blue color scheme and a high ceiling. The baristas brew Coava and Heart coffee, and Roomforty, the house catering company at nearby Fig House, contributes ambitious coffee bar fare, including muesli parfait, "true" quiche with Brie and leek vinaigrette, and fish toast with cured and smoked salmon, puffed grains, herbed cream cheese, fennel vinaigrette, fried shallots, and tapioca pearls. The only thing missing is Wi-Fi, which is intentional, to accommodate families, who apparently... don't like Wi-Fi?
Coffee Commissary
Burbank (& other locations)
This growing chain, which has an imposing rooster logo on the wall and the obligatory Instagram-friendly tile, now keeps studio workers well caffeinated throughout TV, film, and radio production. They rotate West Coast roasters and serve all cups with foamy style. Bonus: the Burbank location is the only branch of Coffee Commissary that has a full kitchen, meaning you can find fried-chicken sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and impressive house-baked goods on a daily basis.
Cognoscenti Coffee
Culver City
Considering owner/architect Yeekai Lim earned his bones with pop-up coffee bars around the city, it's nice to see a fully realized take on his vision. He's built a beautiful indoor-outdoor space amidst Culver City's art galleries, complete with colorful chairs and a wise owl logo. Cog's countertop coffee line-up changes depending what's really popping that season, though Seattle's Kuma Coffee and San Francisco's Ritual Coffee make frequent appearances.
Copa Vida
This multifaceted café has managed to stand out in Old Pasadena, a neighborhood that has seen a glut of coffee concepts in recent years. Superlative West Coast roasters normally find their way into Copa Vida's grinders and brewers, including single-origin selections from industry leaders like Ritual, Verve, and 49th Parallel. They also bake in-house, yielding bread that helps to fuel sandwiches and plenty of coffee-friendly pastries.
Dinosaur Coffee
Silver Lake
Given the name, we were hoping for a T-Rex, and we found a miniature version on one of the gorgeous Douglas fir shelves (and a bigger beast on the bathroom wall). A longtime hospitality pro and her husband, who co-created Cards Against Humanity, serve Four Barrel coffee in a sharp space, which used to be an audio speaker repair shop.
Eightfold Coffee
Echo Park
Soo Kim's coffee bar looks like it was born to appear on lifestyle blogs. Her airy space, which resides along an especially fashionable stretch of Echo Park, sports white walls (including white brick), a tile-backed marble bar, and wood-bench seating, and baristas brew Heart Coffee in vac pots, with a La Marzocco espresso machine, and as cold brew, which packs a potent punch and comes in a glass big enough to keep you conscious for at least two days straight.
Jack Benchakul is a coffee scientist who applies exacting standards to his minimalist coffee bar in Chinatown's Far East Plaza. If you're looking for a jolt of endorphins and caffeine (Endorffeine!) this is the place. Sit at the nine-seat, horseshoe-shaped bar and watch the master at work behind the stainless steel Modbar. Signature drinks are super strong, with iced lattes flavored with unique combos like palm-sugar whiskey and vanilla-pandan. Benchakul also hosts biscuit and pie vendors, plus "9" -- a three-course pairing that takes place on Saturday nights and matches desserts with coffee cocktails.
Espresso Cielo
Santa Monica
This corner spot, just two blocks from the beach, features Carrera marble and sky blue to spare and an antique clock that would make Flavor Flav jealous. A strong coffee program complements the refined surroundings, including 49th Parallel coffee beans roasted in Vancouver and Kyoto-style towers that slowly drip masterful cold brew.
G&B Coffee
Even in this group, there's something about Kyle Glanville and Charles Babinski's open-air Grand Central Market stall that stands out. Sure, the barista champs take a meticulous approach, sparing no gram when pulling espresso shots or brewing cold brew. However, the duo also has fun. Just look at their take on the Dark & Stormy, made with house ginger beer, or a powerhouse shake made with GCM neighbor McConnell's ice cream.
Go Get Em Tiger
Larchmont Village
This similarly precise coffee bar from Misters G and B in Larchmont Village may be even more ambitious, with pastries and food made in-house, indoor seating and a hand-painted astronaut who looks like he's floating across the wall. If you're willing to risk cardiac arrest, consider the Full Nelson, a flight of coffee drink named for a regular customer that includes an espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, and the phenomenal G&B shake.
Silver Lake
The dream team that opened this Sunset Junction coffee bar in 2007 has long since disbanded, but Intelligentsia's first LA branch remains a juggernaut. The coffee is roasted in nearby Glassell Park, the quality remains good given the high volume, and their signature Angeleno beverage is as popular as ever, featuring a quadruple shot of espresso shaken with milk, agave, and ice.
Menotti's Coffee Stop
A seasoned veteran named Christopher "nicely" Abel Alameda, who clocked time behind some of Seattle and LA's best coffee bars, runs this quick-grab spot within shouting distance of Venice Beach's drum circles. Four Barrel Coffee gets the star treatment, and their latte art is probably the city's best -- after all, nicely is a two-time winner of the Latte Art World Championship. And -- shhhh -- Menotti's also has a secret menu (with unique drinks like an espresso & tonic and the "Love Potion #9" with raspberry syrup and chocolate ganache) hidden behind a photo of their founder on the counter.
Paramount Coffee Project
Fairfax Village
It took three Aussies (Jin Ng, Mark Dundon and Russell Beard) to reinvigorate a former Fairfax Village produce market and turn it into one of LA's best coffee shops. They first teamed on Paramount Coffee Project at the one-time Australian headquarters for Paramount Pictures, and are now brewing some of the world's best coffee beans. Their concrete and wood space features a multi-roaster line-up that rotates beans from American coffee powers like Heart and George Howell, plus coffee from roasters back home. The food program is more ambitious than most coffee bars, with dishes like cashew nut yogurt and scram (scrambled eggs) with mezcal-cured salmon.
Rubies + Diamonds
LAMILL co-founder Jean Shim went solo in 2015, debuting her fashionable coffee bar in Hollywood's Columbia Square complex, in a space that features blue-grey and red walls lined with art and two elaborate chandeliers, including one crystal and another that resembles spaghetti. They promote BKON vacuum processed RAIN technology for coffee and tea, and they have many nitro drinks, which you can order up as a cascading nitro flight with cold brew coffee and three teas: matcha, ginger ale green, and turmeric.
Verve Coffee Roasters
Mid-City (& other locations)
This Santa Cruz import made a great first impression, with their first LA shop brightening an emerging part of Downtown, and others popping up around the city. Their beans roast up north, for now, but they already fuel a space-age espresso machine, nitro cold brew and drip. Their Mid-City outpost on Thirst St is the most ambitious to date, with a round copper and marble bar, exposed wood rafters, and a Farmlevel Bar in back, made to feature rare coffees that showcase "Ethics & Excellence."
Woodcat Coffee Bar
Echo Park
Janine Awan and husband Saadat got the Echo Park coffee scene rolling with their rustic café just north of the lake. Reclaimed wood, box seating and red walls give life to this neighborhood favorite. It also helps that they brew expertly roasted beans from San Francisco's Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters on their sleek Faema espresso machine, which sports a racing stripe. Clearly, this bar was built for speed, but the crowd is always chill.

You know that saying, "but first, coffee"? It came from Alfred Coffee + Kitchen, and if it didn't, the Melrose coffee shop took it, trademarked it, and put it on a sign. The trendy local chain attracts a creative crowd, and you'll likely see someone working on a screenplay or practicing lines over a cup of coffee and a bagel sandwich at Alfred. The shop uses Stumptown beans and the Alfred cone, a chocolate-coated cake cone that holds a double shot of espresso, is almost as ubiquitous in LA as that damn saying.
The cousins behind Wurstküche (prost, bro!) teamed with a co-founder of the late, great Handsome Coffee Roasters to turn out this sleek Arts District coffee bar, lined with Douglas fir and marble and serving up high-end outta-San Francisco Sightglass Coffee and Strauss milk, all made with top-of-the-line equipment to make sure the brews stay true.
Brothers Alex and Alan Morales spent time at Handsome Coffee Roasters and Tiago Coffee Bar + Kitchen before they opened their own coffee shop in Highland Park. The result is Civil Coffee a pretty beautiful coffee bar that embodies European charm with high ceilings, tiled floors, and blue wainscot walls. The baristas brew Coava and Heart coffee, and there's a full menu of cafe food (brie quiche, cured and smoked salmon toast, muesli parfait) from pop-up caterers Roomforty.
The Burbank outpost of LA mini-chain Coffee Commissary is outfitted with a full kitchen, meaning that besides coffee any way you want it, the menu includes breakfast and lunch dishes like breakfast burritos, fried chicken sandwiches, and kale salad. The cafe features a rotating selection of West Coast roasters, so you'll find anything from Coava to Madcap Coffee on offer.
Before opening his first solo spot, Cognoscenti Coffee's owner earned his bones with pop-up coffee bars around the city. The barista-in-charge is also an architect, and he built a beautiful indoor-outdoor space complete with colorful chairs and a wise owl logo. Cog's countertop coffee line-up changes depending on the season, though Seattle's Kuma and San Franciso's Ritual make frequent appearances.
Pasadena has seen its fair share of coffee shops over the years, but Copa Vida in Old Pasadena stands out for its multi-faceted approach to cafe culture. The shop puts an emphasis on West Coast roasters, so single-origin coffee from industry leaders like Ritual, Verve, and 49th Parallel are usually on tap, and there's an extensive selection of steeped-leaf tea. Copa Vida bakes pastries in-house, and it has a full breakfast and lunch menu featuring breakfast burritos, three-cheese sandwiches, and eggs-any-way.
Launched by the co-creator of Cards Against Humanity and his wife, Dinosaur serves Four Barrel Coffee and Song Tea to the good people of Silver Lake. The super modern space, which used to be an audio speaker repair shop, features a large white-top bar in the center and light wooden details all around. There's seating at the bar and at the few tables up front.
This simple Echo Park coffee shop attracts a regular cast of hipsters with its wall of zines, books, and magazines supplied by LA-based art publisher & Pens Press. Of course, Eightfold's array of coffee sourced from Heart Roasters is also notable, as is its extensive loose-leaf tea collection.
Helmed by a bonafide coffee scientist, Endorffeine is a third-wave coffee bar in Chinatown equipped with a stainless steel Modbar. Expect outrageously strong espresso and pour-over coffee, plus speciality drinks like iced lattes with palm-sugar whiskey and vanilla pandan.
On the border of Santa Monica and Venice, Espresso Cielo serves European-style coffee drinks plus third-wave creations, like a Blue Bottle-inspired Gibaltrar (a double shot of espresso with lightly-steamed milk). The shop partnered with nearby Hotcakes Bakes to serve a rotating food menu of quiche, macarons, and other pastries.
Inside DTLA's Grand Central Market, G&B's coffee bar stall is helmed by baristas who take a calculated but fun approach to espresso. Aside from supplying your regular caffeine fixes, G&B whips up speciality drinks like house-made chai and an eponymous shake made with vanilla ice cream, two shots of espresso, and whole milk. There's also a small but mighty selection of yeast waffles topped with maple syrup, ricotta, or house-made jam.
The pastries? Great. Indoor seating? Also great. Hand-painted astronaut who looks like he's floating across the wall? Yup, great. The greatest great though? The Full Nelson, a flight of coffee drinks named after one of the shop's regulars that includes an espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, and that phenomenal G&B shake.
The dream team that opened this Sunset Junction coffee bar in 2007 has long since disbanded, but Intelligentsia's first LA branch remains a juggernaut. The coffee is roasted in nearby Glassell Park, and the quality remains strong given the high volume. The signature Angeleno beverage? A popular-as-ever quadruple shot of espresso shaken with milk, agave, and ice.
Christopher "Nicely" Abel Alameda, a seasoned barista who's clocked time behind some of Seattle and LA's best coffee bars, runs this quick-grab cafe that's within shouting distance of Venice Beach's drum circles. Nicely is a two-time winner of the Latte Art World Championship, so you better believe his Four Barrel Coffee drinks are topped with intricate foam designs.
Sydney-based Paramount Coffee Project brings a bright, communal gathering space for coffee aficionados to North Fairfax. Paramount brews beans from roasters all over the world and hosts coffee classes and educational demos to boot. Its food offerings are remarkably sophisticated for a coffee shop with dishes like chicken chilaquiles, apple pie French toast, and eggs Benedict, plus pastries from Brentwood's Farmshop.
It's no coincidence that the name of this regal coffee bar abbreviates to R&D. Located in Hollywood's Columbia Square complex, Rubies + Diamonds focuses on new, experimental ways of preparing coffee and tea, like brewing with a Bkon vacuum machine that extracts more flavor from raw ingredients. The detailed menu lays everything out for you and includes a caffeine grade for each drink so you know just how much of a jolt to expect.
Santa Cruz import Verve Coffee has a few locations around Los Angeles, but the Third St outpost is taking the Northern California-bred cafe culture to the next level with its so-called "Farmlevel Bar." Separate from the register, the bar is part information desk, part to-go counter where you can ask one of the insanely knowledgeable baristas about the roasting process or buy a bag of coffee by the ounce. Verve's coffee is pretty out of this world, especially the made-to-order rare brews.
This quiet and chill coffee shop in the heart of Echo Park gets its name from the song "Woodcat" by the British band Tunng -- and the Scottish word for hare, which explains the shop's rabbit-eared logo. Woodcat partners with Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters, Sugarbloom Bakery, and Sugarbird Sweets & Teas to deliver expertly roasted coffee and daily-made pastries.

@Anamnesis - could you specify which browser version and OS you were running on? I just tried to repro this in Chrome on Win 8, Win 7, and OS X and it started fine here. If I can repro it I can fix it!
Anamnesis · 1 year ago
As Jupiter mentioned, this doesn't seem to work. I tried it in both Chrome and Firefox with no difference. The title page loads and sings the "Promiscuous Flea" theme song but the space bar doesn't start the game. Nor does any other key or mouse button I thought to push.

I really cant hold a grudge for too long, so I was soon over my mother's attitude. When I was done brooding over the double pain, I told my mom, "I want my room painted." My mom actually had to ask, "What color?" "Blue!" It is the only possible answer. It surprised me that she had to ask. Blue is the only color for me. I am blue crazy. The only blue I don't like is blu cheese. And magenta does not cut it for a blue loving girl.
After lunch, I decided to take a walk on the beach. Back in my room, I put on a suit and sunscreen. On the way down stairs, I hear a giggle. My sister is in her room. "What's up, Izzabel?" I asked my five-year-old sister. She loved dolls and I could tell that's what she was doing. Her long blonde hair made a curtain over her plastic baby. We look nothing alike. Besides the eight year difference in age, my hair is brown. And it is very curly. It has grown 2 sizes since we moved here.
Izzabel said, "I'm playing mommy. Do you want to play too?" When she looked up she had the big puppy dog eyes. Unfortunately for her, it did not even faze me. "No, I'm going to the beach." "Ohhhh, Seraphena, can I come? Please, please, please, please, please?" This was greeted by dead silence. I should have known better than to tell her that. Now I was at war with myself. on one hand, I wanted to be alone. On the other hand, my mom will get mad if I don't include my sister. Now there is only one way to get out of this. "I am going to find a sea monster." I knew as soon as I said it that it was mean. But it worked. The look of terror that flitted across Izzabel's face made me want to leave even more.
"Bye, Izzabel!" Before anyone could tell me to stop, I was down the stairs, out the door and running down the sand. The towel I had remembered to grab was around my neck. Like so many swimmers before me, I was ready. Once I was at the waters edge, I immediately began to feel better. I dropped my towel and placed a rock on top so it wouldn't blow away. Then I ran. I love the way the water makes me feel.

My partner and I stayed here in August this year. We booked the honeymoon suite as it was our last stop before home and it did not disappoint. The porter service was great, they carried our bags to and from the hotel. The service was excellent, the lovely staff were always checking to see if they could do anything else to make our stay more comfortable, the included breakfast was one of the best that we had travelling through Europe. The views were unbelievable and we had our own private spa/pool on our private balcony. Couldn't have wished for a better time in Oia and it was definitely based on our accommodation. Cant wait to come back and visit again!!

Your dog will get the love and care they're used to at home, and you'll get photo updates and the peace of mind that comes from finding great care for your pet. We're proud to offer a wide range of pet care, including puppy day care and pet day care for all kinds of pets. We know you love your pets, but you can't always be there, which is where our loving sitters come in. Forget kennels, find a loving neighbor who will give your dog the one-on-one attention they deserve. That way, when you head to work, you know your dog's in good hands.

The Fantasy is fantastic: Disney Fantasy Cruise Review by Cedricandsophie
Overall Member Rating
The Fantasy is fantastic
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
We fell in love with the ship immediately. My grand daughter loved the teen area with its own pool and my grandson liked the Tween area, although he hung out with my daughter and her friend a lot. The Aquaduck was awesome. My husband and I went on it 6 or 7 times let alone what the kids did. The adult pool areas, three levels, was fabulous. And the inside adult bars were incredible, especially the Ooh La La room.
The shows were all new for More us and were great. The Lone Ranger was shown several times as was monsters university among other great Disney movies. Oftentimes we wouldn't see any of the kids all day and meet up for the shows and then our late dinner. All of the restaurants were terrific. We ate most lunches at the grill or fruit and wrap place on deck. And I utilized the Cove Cafe for coffee every morning. We also used the fitness center every day which was very nice and I took a boot camp class every morning which was excellent.
The ship stopped at St Maarten but we didn't even get off, just treated it like another sea day. At St Thomas, we took the ferry over to St John and went snorkeling. At Castaway Cay, I got off with my granddaughter who did the 5 K race and snagged my favorite place for chairs. My husband and grandson snorkel there for hours.
While we love the Disney ships, until the Fantasy we never figured we would ever want to go on one without kids, this is the ship that we could go without kids.
The service on the ship was excellent, at all levels. We were on a Celebrity ship last year for a Turner Classic Movie cruise and the difference in the attitude of the staff on that ship compared to Disney is remarkable. Hard to know ow they get such good reviews with the surliness and unfriendliness of the Celebrity crew.
We have already signed up for a cruise through the Greek islands on Disney next year, either the Magic or the Wonder. And we are going on the Magic for the TCM cruise in December. It will be interesting too see how Disney handles an almost all adult specialty cruise. But we have decided Fantasy is our favorite and we will definitely be back. Less
