CHRIS BROWN: Checks Out Of Rehab!
After checking into a Malibu rehab facility 16 days ago, Chris Brown has checked out.
Brown checked himself into the facility for anger management after allegedly punching a fan in the face during street brawl in Washington D.C. Upon his entrance into the program, it was said Brown could stay for up to three months, according to TMZ.
Brown lawyer tells TMZ, that Breezy excused himself from rehab in order to start the community service he's required to perform in the Rihanna case.
TMZ reports that Chris will continue in outpatient therapy.
The Angles:
- Of course Chris is taking his anger management problem very seriously and there will be no further incidents.
- Sixteen days and cured, what a miracle -- must have been the accelerated program.


text: WAYNE, Pa., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan & Maniskas, LLP ( www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/mlnx) announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. ("Mellanox" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MLNX) between April 19, 2012 and January 2, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period"). (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121112/MM11729LOGO ) For more information regarding this class action suit, please contact Ryan & Maniskas, LLP ( Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire) toll-free at (877) 316-3218 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/mlnx. The complaint charges Yum and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Mellanox is a fabless semiconductor company that produces and supplies high-performance interconnect products that facilitate efficient data transmission between servers, storage systems and communications infrastructure equipment and other embedded systems. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that: (a) Mellanox was receiving a continuous stream of customer complaints concerning glitches it its InfiniBand product offerings during the Class Period; (b) Mellanox knew that the pace of Intel Corporation's ("Intel") development of its own competing InfiniBand adaptor would both diminish Intel's demand for Mellanox's product offering and detrimentally increase competition in the InfiniBand market in which Mellanox enjoyed a near monopoly; (c) Mellanox knew that its outsized 1Q and 2Q sales growth were not sustainable and were not the result of Defendants' business acumen, growth in the InfiniBand market generally, or significant adoption by the market of Mellanox's own InfiniBand product offerings, but was instead due to short-term sales boosts attributable to Intel's rollout of the Romley CPU upgrade; (d) Mellanox's inventory was dramatically increasing, both at the Company and in the hands of at least one significant OEM customer, which would decrease sales and profit margins going forward; and (e) as a result, Mellanox knew its actual sales growth supported neither its own 4Q 2012 guidance nor the inflated share price targets the investment community was modeling based on Defendants' bullish Class Period statements and guidance. As a result of defendants' false and misleading statements, the Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

So, I just joined up. I had a beautiful 02 wrx in 02, ended up selling it in 05 when I got married to a gal who couldn't handle the manual. Well, here I am 2 years after my divorce (where she took the replacement car), I decided to go back to my roots and I bought a used 02 wrx that needs a lot of body work. Fwiw, holy crap did I make the right choice...I'd forgotten how much I love this car. It still rules, 11 years later.
I also could use a roof panel though its not crucial, and a rear passenger door (if I can't get the huge/monstrous dent out).
Any help?

Here is a scenario where capacity definitely trumps:
Here is a scenario where capacity definitely trumps:
I personally think the 9mm is a good compromise.
1. It is cheap, so you can practice more.
2. The right 9mm defensive ammo will do the job. Let me quote "Properly designed hollow-point ammunition - regardless of caliber - all perform very close to each other when you take expanded diameter and penetration depth (12 inches) into account."
See link below for more info.
Best Choices for Self Defense Ammo
3. Properly placed shots (more likely with training) count more than caliber. Let me quote "Physiologically, no caliber or bullet is certain to incapacitate any individual unless the brain is hit". See page 8 in the link below.
4. If you compare well with NYC police... they fire an average of 5.7 per incident. Your 9mm... should have you covered.
This is all from reading as much as I can (I have never been in a shooting incident)... if anyone has a good source please let me know.
I own two guns that are the same size in different calibers: a Glock 36 which is a .45 with 6+1 capacity and a XD40sc which is .40 with 9+1 capacity. I carry the one I shoot the best.
Sioux565 i still got 4 rounds left i dont need 7,10,15 round clip... If i need that many rounds to hit a target i might as well hang it up, liscence, gun,holster, and pride... Lol.
The 3 round avg pertains to all incidents involving discharge of firearm,not just gunfights so to speak,involving both parties having firearms.Could be a larger diff in number of rounds fired
Glock 21-- Caliber AND capacity. And a G30 as BUG.
My decision on this is to get the one that does NOT increase the variety of ammo I need to buy. My guns are .22, .380, .38, 9mm, 5.56 nato, 12ga.
That is enough different calibers. I don't want any more calibers. more guns? sure!
45...9...what's the difference? Exactly 36 :smile:
Right now I'm in the capacity camp.
Hard choice. I'm looking at the same 2 guns with the same questions....But if I had the Xds I would have 2-3 extra mags. Doesn't that count as capacity?? Maybe not but it's still a hard choice.
I favor the gun with the most capaliber.
I'm still trying to figger out how to get more compacity in them there clips...
Interesting replies from everyone !!! Keep them coming :image035: God Bless :smile:

Tobacco, alcohol … and sugar?
A new commentary published in Nature argues that just as the first two substances are regulated in various ways by government authorities, so should be sugar. While acknowledging that food, unlike alcohol and tobacco, is required for survival, the authors say taxes, zoning ordinances and even age limits for purchasing certain sugar-laden products are all appropriate remedies for what they see as a not-so-sweet problem.
The authors of the piece, Robert Lustig, Laura Schmidt and Claire Brindis, are all from the University of California, San Francisco. Lustig has been a particularly harsh (and longtime) critic of the impact of added sugars on health — here's his widely viewed 2009 lecture on that topic. (Lustig was also a central character in a New York Times magazine piece on this subject last year.)
Note that they are talking about sugar added to foods. No one is arguing that we should spurn fruit, for example, because of the naturally occurring fructose.
"We believe attention should be turned to 'added sugar,' defined as any sweetener containing the molecule fructose that is added to food in processing," the authors write. (And they argue the current dietary "bogeymen" — saturated fat and salt — deserve less scrutiny than the sweet white stuff.)
They're talking about foods sweetened with sucrose — about half fructose and half glucose — and high-fructose corn syrup, which despite its name is mostly used in formulations that are 55% and 42% fructose.
The authors write that sugar is more than just empty calories — that growing evidence links fructose overconsumption with health problems including hypertension and diabetes. "Early studies" link it to cancer and cognitive decline, they write. They also argue that like tobacco and alcohol, "it acts on the brain to encourage subsequent intake."
So, what's a country to do? The authors propose taxing processed foods containing any kind of added sugars, including drinks and cereal. In addition, they suggest tightening licensing requirements on vending machines and snack bars selling sugary drinks in schools and at work, instituting zoning ordinances to restrict the number of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores in low-income neighborhoods and near schools, and even instituting an age limit for purchasing sugary drinks such as soda.
And they want the FDA to consider removing fructose from the list of ingredients deemed Generally Recognized as Safe. (Douglas Karas, an FDA spokesman, says that step is not currently being considered.)
The Sugar Association, not surprisingly, found a lot to dislike in the commentary. In a response published on its website, the industry group says that USDA stats show people are consuming about 425 more calories per day now than 40 years ago, with caloric sweeteners accounting for about 38 of those calories. Meantime, the group contends that consumption of cane and beet sugar has been falling even as obesity rates have been rising.
"We consider it irresponsible when health professionals use their platforms to instill fear by using words like 'diabetes,' 'cancer,' and even 'death,' without so much as one disclaimer about the fact that the incomplete science being referenced is inconclusive at best," the association says.
The obesity problem "originates from the combination of overconsumption of all foods and lack of exercise. To label a single food as the one and only problem misinforms, misleads and confuses consumers, and simply adds to the problem," the association says.
The National Confectioners Association, meantime, said that the group "supports realistic advice to Americans that accommodate all foods including occasional treats in moderation. There is a place for little pleasures, such as candy, in an overall lifestyle that supports health, wellness and happiness. In fact, helping the public understand how to incorporate little pleasures in their diet may well play the most important role in achieving and sustaining recommended dietary behaviors."
If you do want to keep an eye on your sugar intake, the nutrition facts panel that appears on food packages now does not break out added and naturally-occurring sugars. But you can certainly see how many total grams of sugar you're consuming.

it's not so much heresy as foolishness, take that lightly. It's just that every cook that I ever worked with that had a ceramic knife would show it to me and it had a busted tip and was dull. they are brittle and apparently difficult to sharpen once they become dull, although I am no expert.
I can't think of too many things I'd use/want a ceramic blade. Maybe on my mandoline? Would be nice to buy some ceramic blades in a 10-pack or something, just for mandoline blade replacements? I sharpen steel blade with 2000-grit sandpaper at the moment, seems to work well.
How about a ceramic slicer for lettuce? Kind of a waste of a knife slot I suppose.
Peelers are cheap, don't see where that could be cost justified.
ooh.... How about a ceramic pasta cutter? A set of ceramic ring cutters? (Can you do that?)
HAHAHA, How about a ceramic Maguro Bocho? Sweet!

Feb. 15, 2011
By all indications, Tennys Sandgren's college tennis career is on the rise.
The results this spring speak to that suggestion.
The sophomore from Gallatin, Tenn., has an 11-1 record the last two months and reappeared in the ITA national singles rankings Monday at a career-best No. 46. Five of his wins have come against ranked opponents during his current hot streak, including one against top-10 mainstay Austen Childs of Louisville.
Coming in as one of the top-ranked juniors in the world, Sandgren arrived at UT in January 2010 and quickly became a mainstay at the No. 4 singles position, going 10-0 in SEC play on his way to all-conference honors.
This season, he has moved up to the No. 3 spot and has also expanded his role in dual matches to include doubles. He leads the team with a 16-4 record in doubles this season and has been 6-0 in doubles with fellow sophomore Rhyne Williams at the No. 2 position.
Sandgren talks his newfound success, former hairstyle and current music of choice in this week's Q&A.
Q: Let's talk about this season, starting this spring. What's the difference between you this year and you last year?
A: I'm probably a little more prepared. I know what to expect more now than I did last spring. I feel like I have a good handle on college matches and I feel pretty comfortable on the court.
Q: Was it a hard transition last year to suddenly be thrown into the college tennis situation?
A: Yeah, it was difficult. We had such a good team and everyone knew what they were doing, so I was a little behind in the area of college matches. I was a little wet behind the ears so to speak. It was definitely an experience. The first couple of matches were tough but I feel like I got better as I went last season.
Tennis is already a confidence-based sport and you're more confident when you're playing better. As you play more matches you get more confident and just learn from there. I've been working really hard and doing a lot of off the court stuff. The practice is really paying off.
Q: There's that small break in college competition from in November and December. What was your offseason like?
A: I spent a lot of time in the gym and running on the track. I did a lot of running, lifting and practicing for events. I was hoping that I would start off well and I have so far.
Q: Talk a little bit about the first couple of weeks in the season. How do you feel you've been playing?
A: I felt like I've played well. Hawaii was kinda strange to start off the season. I feel like we've started off early. Last season, we took the first couple of weeks and trained, and this season--you could call it training -- but it was actually matches. That was good for me because I felt like I was ready to go for the first match. I've just been building confidence from there. I had a pretty good SEC Indoors, and I feel pretty good.
Q: Talk about doubles play. You weren't in the lineup much last season but now you're at No. 2 right now and leading the team in doubles wins. What's it been like playing the entire dual match?
A: It's good to be part of the whole dual match and not just a part of the second half of it. I played most of my matches last spring just singles and no doubles. Since doubles comes first, it changes your whole preparation for the match. It's a little different but I feel like I'm definitely used to it now. It's a tremendous experience to be a part of the whole thing and not just part of it.
Q: Last season, reporters were always interested in doing stories about you coming in as a freshman and being on the same team with your brother, Davey. How is it different playing without Davey this year?
A: It's definitely not as fun without Davey on the team, practicing with us, lifting with us. It was definitely a cool experience to have my brother on the same team as me; it was just awesome. That's one of the things I was hoping to come here and do was to have that experience with my brother. It feels like half of me is gone. He's still here at grad school, so it's not like I never see him. I see him a fair amount but it's not as cool not having him on the team.
Q: When you came last year, you had pro aspirations. How do you feel like this time in college has prepared you so far?
A: I feel like it's been great. I've definitely improved a lot. I've gotten a lot stronger, a lot fitter and I that can only help me in trying to play professional tennis.
Q: What do you think about the level of the competition in college tennis?
A: I feel like the levels from 1-6 on teams is really good, especially on the higher ranked teams. Freshman are coming in top-10 in the world in juniors and playing No. 6 on their teams. Guys that are ranked top-10 in college are having results in Challengers and Futures like Robert Farah of USC. He played summer last year and went from no ranking at all to top-200 in the world. If he can do it, it shows it can be done.
Q: Let's throw in a random question about hair here. For most of your freshman season you sported the mohawk during matches. Where did that look come from and can we expect to see it any time this season?
A: (laughs) It was totally random. It was on a whim. I was like, `what can I do to shake things up a little bit on the court?' and that seemed like a cool way to do it. I don't think it will make an appearance. Don't think. Maybe if things start going south I might do it just to change things up just to go back to my college roots. But I don't think I'll be doing it. That was a one-time deal.
Q: You're wearing the baseball cap now. How's that working out for you?
A: Hat is working well. It's a mixture between the hat and the bandana. It just depends from day to day. If I go hat, I'm feeling more aggressive. If I go bandana, it means I'll be out there for a while grinding. So it just depends on how I feel.
Q: This is a pretty open question (and not actually a question), but tell us about yourself off court.
A: I like to play a fair amount of Xbox. Call of Duty is one of my passions. I spend a fair amount of time on there if I'm not practicing or studying. But I probably spend most of my time practicing and studying. I like to listen to music so when I'm walking around campus I usually have earbuds in.
Q: What's your music of choice?
A: Anything loud. I like a lot of rock stuff. I kinda like this new techno European stuff a lot of the guys from the team listen to. It's pretty relaxing actually.
I've never been to a concert before. It's actually one of my goals is to go see some of my favorite groups live in concert. Which would be Disturbed, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin. Groups like that that I like.

Sam Montgomery (99) and Kevin Minter (46) joined Barkevious Mingo (49) as three of the six LSU players -- all on defense -- taken in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.Much like the past few college football seasons, the first three rounds of the NFL Draft were dominated by the SEC -- 32 of the 97 draftees have come from the SEC, the most from one conference in a single draft (the previous record was 25 from the ACC in 2006).
Last year there were 16 SEC players drafted in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.
Cornerback Tyrann Mathieu was one of six LSU players drafted -- all from the defense -- the most defensive players ever drafted from one school the first three rounds in a single draft.
LSU's six players drafted are just one fewer than the entire Big Ten Conference.
The rest of the Day 2 roundup:
• The Cincinnati Bengals chose North Carolina RB Giovani Bernard with the 37th pick. That's the latest the first running back has been chosen in the Common Draft Era.
• Then Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o was selected 38th overall by the San Diego Chargers, the first Notre Dame linebacker to get picked in the first two rounds since Courtney Watson (to the New Orleans Saints) in 2004.
The last Fighting Irish linebacker to go as high as Te'o was Demetrius Dubose (34th to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) in 1993.
• With the next pick, the New York Jets chose West Virginia QB Geno Smith. The Jets had a 24.7 Total QBR last season, 2nd-lowest in the NFL (only the Arizona Cardinals were worse). Since drafting Mark Sanchez, the Jets have not finished a season ranked higher than 16th in Total QBR.
It's the highest a West Virginia quarterback has ever been drafted.
A few things to note about Smith's college experience:
1) He attempted more than 96 percent of his passes out of a shotgun or pistol formation in his career. Dana Holgorsen introduced Smith to the pistol in 2011, and he threw 42 touchdowns and four interceptions out of that formation.
2) He threw 177 of his 518 passes (34.2 percent) at or behind the line of scrimmage last season, including a BCS AQ-high 112 screen passes. As a result, Smith's average pass traveled only 7.7 yards past the line of scrimmage, the fewest air yards per attempt of any top QB prospect.
• Boise State has had six defensive backs drafted in the past seven years -- they had six drafted in the previous 40 years combined.
Since Chris Petersen took over as head coach in 2006, the Broncos have had eighth players selected in the first two rounds. Before 2006, Boise State had just two players ever chosen in the draft's first two rounds.
• If we need more evidence that this is a passing league, there have been 16 cornerbacks selected and 11 wide receivers, the most of any position, and there have been nine safeties taken, tied for fourth-most.
• The 55 defensive players drafted is the most ever through three rounds.
• The 25 defensive backs taken is the most ever through three rounds.
• The six running backs is tied for the fewest through three rounds.

Stepping out for a romantic dinner date, Shakira and Gerard Pique showed up at the Matsuhisa sushi restaurant in Beverly Hills last night (May 21).
The "Laundry Service" songstress and her hunky beau weren't too keen on the shutterbugs they encountered upon their exit, and scurried to their car before quickly driving off.
Though the news that they would not appear on Season 5 saddened fans, Usher and Shakira promise they'll be back the next year.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the pair will make their triumphant return to the singing competition series for the sixth season.
Taking time off to focus on her own music and family, Shakira will not return to her coaching position on season 5 of "The Voice."
Taking care of her reality show duties, Shakira showed up at a special live performance event celebrating the Top 12 artists on "The Voice" last night (May 8).
The "Hips Don't Lie" lady joined Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Usher on stage for an amazing set, looking cool and confident as she sang her heart out.
Stepping out for some media duties, Shakira showed up at The Grove in West Hollywood last night (May 6).
Joined by fellow judges Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, the "Voice" vixen looked gorgeous in a netted black top, black shorts, and a pair of studded black high heels as she greeted fans with a smile.
Taking in a fun sports event, Shakira and boyfriend Gerard Pique attended the Euroleague basketball match between Barcelona Regal and Panathinaikos in Barcelona, Spain on Thursday evening (April 24).
The new parents shared a laugh and smile with each other while waving to the photographers, all while taking in the sights.
She gave birth to her beautiful son Milan almost three months ago, and now Shakira speaks up about her struggles since becoming a mother.
The "Hips Don't Lie" songstress admitted to US Weekly on Monday (April 22) that being a mom maybe the greatest thing ever, but it's not easy at all.
Taking care of a media appearance, Shakira attended the NBC Universal Summer Press Tour on Monday (April 22) in Pasadena, CA.
Rocking a cheetah-print blouse with black pants, the Columbian cutie had a smile and a wave for the waiting photographers at the Langham Huntington hotel.

The rather silly title is one of the few missteps in this keenly observed, beautifully filmed documentary about a Sussex farmer struggling to survive in a world of big supermarkets and oppressive health and safety regulations. A hit at the Sundance Film Festival, this gentle, honest film keeps its audience enthralled from sunny start to tear-stained finish — an impressive achievement, since it's about cows.
Steve Hook, the "moo man" of the title, runs a small family dairy farm and sells raw (ie unpasteurised) milk at local farmers' markets and via doorstep delivery. It is, he says, the only way he can keep the farm going in a world where it costs 35p to produce every pint, but a farmer gets only 27p from the supermarkets.
Film-maker Andy Heathcote clearly knows star acts when he sees them, and gives free rein to Hook and his favourite cow, a 12-year-old Friesian called Ida, who appears to have been born with a combination of quiet dignity and natural comic timing. Hook is also a natural as he quietly explains the realities of dairy farming (not good if you are a male calf) and delivers an eloquent epitaph for a trusty bovine friend that will have you reaching for your hanky.
Filming took place over a year and the seasons play their part in the film without ever being exploited for picturesque effect. Indeed, it is the ability to shape the material into an emotionally satisfying story without ever manipulating it that makes The Moo Man one of the best British documentaries in many a moo-n.
Screens Thursday April 25 at 9pm and Sunday April 28 at 5.30pm (0844 858 6754, sundance-london.com)

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, THE ILLUSIONIST unites the creative team of Sylvain Chomet (director of the Oscar-nominated Triplets of Belleville) with the late comic genius Jacques Tati, who penned the enchanting script. In the late 1950s an aging magician travels the globe with his top hat, white rabbit and series of out-dated magic tricks. But as the flashy rock n roll age starts to creep up on him, the Illusionist is forced to accept increasingly obscure engagements to get by. Traveling to Scotland, his gloom is lifted when he encounters Alice, an innocent young girl who will change his life forever. Though they dont speak the same language, the two lonely strangers quickly bond through small kindnesses afforded one another, discovering the true magic of human connection.

Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) sometimes referred to as industrial deafness is a generic term used to describe a loss of hearing that has resulted from exposure to excessive levels of noise.
for no obligation advice on making a claim.
NIHL typically affects the higher frequency of hearing and often causes permanent damage to the hearing of sufferers. Other hearing impairments such as Tinnitus may also be experienced by sufferers of NIHL.
The majority of noise induced hearing loss is attributable to employment, where workers may be subject to significant levels of noise for prolonged periods.
Examples of industries where a risk of NIHL is considerable include: -
NIHL tends to develop gradually throughout the period of noise exposure and sufferers often are initially unaware of a reduction in hearing until the damage has been done.
Typical symptoms of NIHL may include: -
The effects of NIHL are usually permanent but the impact may be minimised with the provision of hearing aids, tinnitus retraining therapy etc.
Therefore it's important you secure a suitable amount of industrial hearing loss compensation to cover these treatments.
Employers have a legal duty of care to their employees and positive steps must be taken to reduce noise exposure as much as practicable. Despite this, many workers remain at risk of developing NIHL due to employers failing to do this.
Examples of steps that should be taken include regular workplace noise level assessments, provision of and enforcement of hearing protection and occupational health screening of workers exposed to high levels of noise.
Where employers have failed to act in accordance with their duty to protect workers, the right to claim industrial deafness compensation exists.
It is possible to bring a claim for compensation against employers or their insurers for NIHL even where an employment has ended or the employer is no longer in existence. We are often able to trace the relevant employer's liability insurer and pursue them directly.
There are however strict time limits to pursue a claim and it is crucial that if you believe you may have developed NIHL you obtain legal advice as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in any claim being time barred.

Like any turbo vehicle, you aren't burning a lot of fuel unless you're in the throttle. My friend's 7.3 liter Excursion 2wd gets 17 city, 22 highway on a chip with 160+hp over stock. Compare that to my Dodge Ram 4x4 with the Hemi that gets 10 city, 14 hwy.
Make a few WOT runs and that mileage drops. You can't change physics while you're shoving 7000+ lbs down the road at absurd velocity.

Hard Knocks Episode 3: HUMP WEEK
Last night's episode of Hard Knocks featured rookies singing, Reggie Bush leading, offensive linemen puking and a sad puppet. Most of all, it featured what might be the turning point in the franchise's future: Ryan Tannehill winning the starting quarterback job... and then offensive lineman Richie Incognito telling him, "Don't fuck it up." Here's your recap:
-- Things got kicked off with Reggie Bush, Karlos Dansby, and Jake Long approaching Joe Philbin about their displeasure in seeing Chad Johnson cut.
The three tell Philbin that they'd like to be included when coaches think a player is acting like a total dick and should be cut. Because of leadership.
Joe Philbin's reaction to the Leadership Council was pretty much, "Not sure what you could have done to keep Chad from head-butting his wife. But, uh, yea sure, you can be included."

-- Episode 3 also gave us a closer look at the sack of old lady diarrhea that is the offensive line. Particularly John Jerry, who is overweight and shown huffing and puffing throughout practice drills. At one point, the coaches keep sending him out to do more and more reps, and that idea was rewarded with shots of Jerry horking his balls out.
"I need... a break... too ... many... reps... I ... uh... *PUUUUUKE* ... ... *PUUUUKE*... "
-- Joe Philbin is Mr. Mackey.
-- The scene with the rookies putting on a talent show for their teammates was pretty great. Even more so, Philbin asking Jeff Ireland if they kept it clean during the show.
That Joe Philbin fucking hates the shit out of profanity.
-- The show focused on the second pre-season game, against the Carolina Panthers. Particularly on Jonathan Martin getting crushed by opposing pass rushers, and then subsequently seeing those pass rushers blowing up Tannehill's ass in the process.
John Jerry had a solid game, though. So all that puking did him some good.
-- We also got a glimpse of Michael Egnew getting his ass chewed out good and proper for the second week in a row.
Coach: "GO FUCKING BLOCK SOMEONE!"
Egnew: /vacant stare
-- The episode ended with Matt Moore finding out his fate that he will no longer be the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. To his credit, the guy took his demotion like a pro and proclaimed his loyalty to Philbin and the coaching staff.
And then he went and drank his sorrows away.
Tannehill being told he has the job was pretty epic, in that, he better fucking be the guy already!

I'm wondering. Because it says it can get rid of a dorsal bump and even make your nose smaller by shaping cartilage? And can't a dorsal bump be like made because your cartilage is lower then the nasal bone? So if the nose right makes cartilage smaller then wouldn't that make the dorsal bump even larger?
Like in this picture it would make the cartilage smaller only? And the dorsal bump stick out more?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
He is not allowed to "compete" until he is 12 in Norway, however, of all the things he can do, he is leaning towards it yes, and with the Norwegian 2 best male and the best female all coming from the same club, he is in a good position to get some seriously good help.
We have an SBX course, to European standards at our slope, so good practice, the biggest concern at the moment is his size, he is so small for his age, and doesn't carry speed well as a result, but we are working on his jumps etc by using a different slope and there very well maintained blue park, so he is getting lots of practice right now, and very good conditions with it being soft...
We will see what he chooses though, it is a long way off right now, and he will learn it all through the club anyway. Never thought we would have fun on rails at the start of this season, but he is enjoying them now, and has started his frontside and backslide board slides, and now doing pipes as well, rails are something he still hasn't tried, but everything else is moving along nicely...
|Love sbx. is your son going to compete in it now?

The Norwegian Nationals are going down this week in Trysil, and yesterday was the SBX

I'd like to have Omar Brown back as well.
Printable View
I'd like to have Omar Brown back as well.
Has me wondering about a bunch of inconsequential questions.
Trying in part to get into a PS player's shoes.
What are players like Dixon/Brown told.
Dixon was cut from PS Nov 6th 2012 and TE Alex Silvestro added, so he was out of an income.
Now I assume he goes home, I can't see any reason for him to be told to stay close, it really seemed to me to be a 'cut bait and move on' scenairo.
Then a week later he gets a call to come back (Jen's injury).
Do we have to give him a little more (above the minimum) to make up for the week's pay he lost? Did he have to buy his own ticket home or does the team do that (goodwill).
The man isn't dumb, he knows Jen got hurt and he has some value/familiarity with their playbook, I can see the need for the Ravens to sweeten the pot a little, but I have no way of knowing such arcane trivia.... just a curiosity as to what goes on at that low level.
And Omar? I assume he was told we still really like you, we just have to have a PS slot right now and it is the one you have.
(I'm sure the FO evaluated the PS players as to who can't surface and who has the best chance of not being picked up).
I know we move on in the big picture, I just wonder what it is like for those guys sometimes.
Sorry about that folks. He's been dealt with.
Thanks to those who alerted us. Carry on ...
I still like Dixon. I hope he's able to stick around for a little while beyond the Steelers games.
Omar Brown re-signed........
i would like to see dixon up against tyrod taylor. i've seen taylor play. i would like to see what dixon can offer.

Google's New Software Lets You Navigate The Internet With Your Voice
Google builds a modern day tower of Babel to power unbelievable voice search software.
Google appears to be on the vanguard of vocal interfacing with computers and smart phones. Their latest voice recognition roll out makes massive strides towards seamless vocal detection software. It offers a host of features which will astound anyone who has struggled with the cumbersome traditional software of vocal recognition applications. In addition to quicksilver response times, it also works with multiple languages:
Android's Translate app (also available for the iPhone) will not only convert your English into spoken French (among several other languages) but also has a "conversation mode" that will translate the French waiter's response back into English. And if that's not enough, Android lets you dictate your e-mail and text messages, too.
The software's impressive recognition ratio is a result of two areas in which Google excels: cloud computing and colossal data banks. By outsourcing the computation and statistical analysis of your voice to one of it's gigantic server farms the speed of service Google's software offers is unparalleled at present (especially so in terms of portable computing devices). But the success rate of it's vocal translation service is more indebted to Google's ability to make gold from data banks.
Speech recognition is one of Google's artificial intelligence programs that gets its power by analyzing impossibly huge troves of information. For the speech system, the data are a large number of voice recordings. If you've used Android's speech recognition system, Google Voice's e-mail transcription service, Goog411 (a now-defunct information service), or some other Google speech-related service, there's a good chance that the company has your voice somewhere on its servers. And it's only because Google has your voice—and millions of others—that it can recognize mine.
As amazing as this application is in terms of future potential, it also raises interesting questions about the massive data banks of the population's voice which are in Google's possession.
Slate: "Google has developed speech-recognition technology that actually works"

The Frictionless Enterprise: Built for Business
In a recent survey of C-level executives, 79% said they can make better and faster technology decisions than IT can. And yet in InformationWeek's survey of IT pros, 72% said that their IT operations were fairly well or perfectly aligned to the needs of the business. Obviously there's a disconnect, and here it is: IT leaders have done an admirable job of improving their agility and adopting new technologies like mobility, virtualization and cloud – but business leaders look around and see fully capable SaaS offerings that do exactly what they want right now, and competitors who look to be using technology far better than they are. So while IT has indeed gotten more business-aligned, executives and line of business leaders see even faster ways to bring in technology that don't involve IT.
Attend this webinar to learn how to:
- Use the cloud for rapid functional trials and prototyping
- Learn to fail fast (and recover even quicker)
- Make mobility part of your productivity culture and your customer support
- Reassess how you look at risk and the functions of IT
Register for this webinar to get a look at the strategies that are winning and help identify how they can be used in your organization.

F1 chiefs have been meeting with the FIA in Monaco this week to discuss a new raft of cost cutting — but with smaller teams showing you can perform well on a budget does anything really have to change?
The days of the manufacturer might ruling Formula One are long gone and this year is more open than ever with five different teams — McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and Williams — taking wins in the first six races and eight of the 12 teams well into double figure points already.
In such a competitive season, it would be easy to believe the midfield runners are in the ascendency, benefitting from the change in tyre regulations and the ban on expensive blown diffuser developments to make a break towards the front-runners.
But off the track, it has been alleged that the business strength of some teams is not as stable as the sport would like it to be — and the words 'cost cutting' have re-appeared.
It is now more than 10 years since teams were regularly dropping off the grid or changing hands as incessant testing and high engine costs made running costs astronomical.
The Prost F1 team went bankrupt at the end of 2001; the Arrows team, which still ranks 10th on the list of most race starts, dropped out midway through the 2002 season; Jordan changed hands four times before settling down as Force India; and after a much publicised and sometimes publically desperate struggle to keep his team alive, Minardi owner Paul Stoddart secured a last-gasp deal with Red Bull to turn it into Toro Rosso, a plan engineered by the sport's bosses to stem criticism that off-track politics was taking focus off the racing.
In recent years, the business end of Formula One seems to have become a lot more, well, business-like.
Sure, there has been some fallings out and disagreements when future revenue streams are discussed, and FOTA has lost a number of members, but there does seem to be a genuine understanding that the kind of scenes witnessed back in the Minardi days should not be a part of the latest era in the sport.
There are now, however, some big issues starting to bubble.
The arrival of the three new teams back in 2010 put the field back up to 24 cars and the hope was that by now those teams would have stepped in to create a tight midfield group. Instead, almost two-and-a-half seasons on, none have broken through and two have already changed owners once.
Force India boss Vijay Mallya faced some testing questions in Monaco about the future of his team. Despite recent rumours of unpaid salaries, he insisted: "there has been a significant capital infusion at the end of 2011, another significant capital infusion from the Sahara Group is due in 2012 and going beyond to 2013." His words, however, appeared more defensive than positive.
Toro Rosso has now been openly for sale to any realistic bidder for quite some time; Williams, despite Venezuela's PDVSA money, is still in keen search for more sponsors; and even Lotus, who are appearing as regular front-runners this year, have been forced to deny financial concerns after rumours about the sale of Lotus Cars.
Which is why it is crucial the FIA steps in to take control.
In football, clubs have been able to spend their way to success, with Manchester City winning the Premier League thanks to huge Abu Dhabi investment budget and Chelsea's Russian money helping to win the Champions League. Other teams — some once great names - have plunged into obscurity because they don't have the financial benefactor to keep up with the unrealistic values to which the game is played.
UEFA has introduced 'Financial Fair Play' regulations to try to stop the practice, having become concerned that it not only creates unfair competition but also threatens the future of the top clubs as they get further and further into debt.
It has not been easy to implement — despite backing from the majority of football club owners — and a similar approach will not be easy to introduce into Formula One.
But with pressure to bring back in-season testing and the threat that the development cost of new regulation engines for 2014 will be passed down the line to the teams, surely it is time to at least try to make a new model succeed.
Max Mosley's original budget cap idea was blown out the water, but the dampened down Resource Restriction Agreement has also struggled because it was a gentleman's agreement that is impossible to police.
"There's been some good progress in the last few months," Mercedes boss Ross Brawn said last week. "The FIA are now becoming more and more involved in cost-cutting initiatives for the future and I think ultimately that's who we have to rely on to police the measures."
Red Bull and Ferrari are understood to be opposed to a budget cap while McLaren and Mercedes will certainly not voluntarily push their spending to a lower level if others do not.
But the teams can still get proposed changes — including more influence from the FIA - voted through for 2013 by a majority as long as it is done by June 30th. And for some, that could be critical.

Are You "All At Once" or "One Inch At a Time" When You Get in The Water?
When I try to get into the pool, if that water is cold, I'll admit it. I'm a 'one inch at a time' kind of guy. First the feet. After about a half hour, when they warm up, I'll put the lower leg in and so on. The whole process takes about three and a half hours.
I know it's an agonizing process, and I envy those 'all at once' divers who jump right in and get it over with. It just seems to me that three and a half hours of ooh ooh ooh is better than 5 seconds of AAAAAAAHHH.
There have been times my family has served me lunch while I was knee deep, and I was eating dinner before my belly button was in. Fun day at the pool, right?

Displaying Forms from Components
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Although most components do not have visual interfaces, there are times when it may be useful for a user to interact visually with a component. For example, a component that represents a bank account might display a specialized alert form when the account is overdrawn. These functions should remain constant in the component and not depend on the client application. Because forms are classes, it is easy to create an instance of the form, and then display it through your component.
There are two approaches you can use to create a form:
- Create the form outside your component, which allows you to use a designer to create the look and feel of the form.
- Make the form a nested class within your component. An advantage to this approach is that the form is always a part of your component, and you have control over how it is used and exposed. The chief disadvantage, however, is that you will be unable to use a designer with your form, and will have to design it all by hand coding.
To display a form from your component
- Create the Windows Form you want to display from your component. For details, see Adding Windows Forms to a Project.
- If the form you want to display is not in the same project as your component, you must create a reference to the project that contains your form by right-clicking References in Solution Explorer and choosing Add Reference. For details, see Adding and Removing References.

On Campus: Janna Gibson
Janna Gibson is a senior in the College of Education's Birth Through Five Program who will spend the last month of her college career student teaching in China.
How did you first become interested in education?
My mom has been teaching elementary school since I was a kid, and I grew up helping her in the classroom. I initially went to school for business, but one day I said, "This cubicle is not for me." Right then I decided to go back to school to get my education degree and fell in love with teaching.
What made you decide to pursue a study abroad experience?
When I applied to Georgia State, I specifically looked at the study abroad opportunities the university offered. After I graduate, I hope to find a teaching job in Asia, and this program would give me the chance to get some experience doing just that. How did you raise the money to go on this trip? I found out in December that I didn't receive the scholarship I needed to pay for my trip. I'd made a website before for my photography, so I made one about this study abroad trip and asked for $2 donations to help pay for it. I received a third of the funds for my trip on the first day. I was blown away by the support I got. It was really humbling to see this outpouring of love.
What do you hope to take away from your experiences abroad?
It's exciting to learn from other cultures. I'll be there teaching, learning about their pedagogy and seeing how their children learn. I'm also working on a children's book drive with the class I'm currently student teaching in to take books to underprivileged children in China, so it will be rewarding to complete this service learning project. As an early childhood education major, you have had several student teaching experiences at different schools.
What did you enjoy about these experiences?
This semester, I worked in Gail Williams' kindergarten classroom at Morningside Elementary School. She has 22 years of teaching experience under her belt, so I spent the first week just observing what she did. It's important to really absorb all the lead teachers have to teach you.
What has been the best part of your time at Georgia State?
The Early Childhood Education Department and the Birth Through Five Program in particular have been a perfect fit for me. It's such a tight-knit group and my professors have been supportive and encouraging every step of the way

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Welcome!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
|Welcome, and what a wonderful gift for your son. There is tons of great info on this forum to help you out. Be sure to share pics with us when you get that new helper home and we even would like to see pics of that spoiled Weimaraner.
New SDIT Wish Granted
Hi everyone my name is Amanda and my family is located in WA state. Last night my son Jeremy's Christmas wish was granted to receive a new SDIT from 1 Boy 4 Change. We are still over the moon to learn he is getting an 8 week old plush GS in February.
I am currently the owner of one spoiled rotten Weimaraner and know little about GS breed. We had a SDIT Banyan who was a golden but had to be career changed 18 months into his training. We are anxious about starting over but so thankful that a pup has been donated since we could not financially have done this again alone.
My son was born with Sturge-Weber Syndrome that cause seizures and Glaucoma in his right eye. We hope to have our new SDIT by the time he heads to Junior High where he will switch classes unsupervised all day. I look forward to learning more about the breed and reading through all the threads. As soon as we get pictures I'll share. We literally found out late last night and are just still on cloud nine.
Hi everyone Merry Christmas!!

Prime Time's Will Perry earned MVP honors at the Warrior/Brine All-Star Game. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: Casey Vock)
Though the Warrior/Brine All-Star Game at the Inside Lacrosse Recruiting Invitational turned out to be a 15-6 blowout, Team Warrior and Team Brine engaged in an exciting, talent-filled game that was played like it was a Division I battle.
Matt Pedicine (Leading Edge) led the charge at the face-off X, teaming up with fellow FOGO Matt Lesser (LI Sting) to beat a tough twosome on Team Brine. The midfielders were the main reason they were able to put together an one-sided victory, while the goaltenders stood tall and the defense, especially players like J.T. Giles-Harris (Prime Time) and Nicholas Orlowski (FLG).
Here are more standouts from the game:
Attack MVP: Ryan Schaeffer, A, LI Rebels '16
Featured as a star of Monday's session, Schaeffer did an excellent job getting to the cage, using his foot speed and nose for the goal to outsmart and beat defenders. I had the St. John's verbal down for two goals, including a beauty toward the end of the first half. His future program has an attack-oriented offense, and he'll fit in extremely well.
Overall/Midfield MVP: Will Perry, M, Prime Time '16
He was highlighted Monday, but the Providence commit followed that up with a great performance in Tuesday's ASG, in which he dropped a hat trick. He puts a lot torque he puts on his shot and the accuracy, pinging corners to draw ooh's and ah's from the crowd. Keeps his feet moving while dodging to the cage to get inside or can sling it from the outside.
Defensive MVP: Alex Rode, G, Breakers '17
Giving up goals is inevitable in an All-Star Game atmosphere, and Rode did that in the early goings, though he made some phenomenal stops throughout the first half. He has quick hands for a young goalie, using them to his advantage to read shooters and deflect a ton of shots wide. His technique is excellent and the majority of his clears were on point. Virginia, which probably has the best rising sophomore recruiting class, is getting a gem in the St. Paul's (Md.) recruit.
Decker Curran, M, Prime Time '15
It's been great to see the improvement in Curran's game, which was gained with a year under his belt with the Connecticut state champion Greenwich Cardinals. He's outstanding with either hand, bringing an awesome split dodge up top to create separation and get his hands free. He had a few beautiful rips in the ASG, including a well-placed offside hip shot quickly after accepting a pass. Curran is bound for Michigan.
Erik Dluhy, LSM, Leading Edge '15
His game simply jumps off the page. He's an absolute animal who is all over the field and a major contributor on the wings, also doing a great job staying on opposing midfielders' hands to create turnovers and stymie their ability to get off quality shots. He's an awesome recruit for Scott Marr's Albany Great Danes.
Bryan Costabile, M, Looney's '16
Costabile put in a really enjoyable performance in the All-Star Game. A rising junior out of Mount Saint Joseph (Md.), the Notre Dame-bound midfielder had an awesome second half, scoring two pretty goals. In one sequence, he caused a turnover on the defensive end and just under a minute later, picked up a groundball and blasted a goal over the goalie's ear.
Emmett Cordrey, A, Leading Edge '15
Teddy Hatfield, A, Leading Edge '15
J.C. Sorensen, M, Leading Edge '15
The rising senior trio all impressed in the main All-Star Game, especially Hatfield and Cordrey together, who showed excellent chemistry on a great quick stick connection after a cross crease pass. Appearing bigger and stronger than he was a year ago, Sorensen closed out the game for a nice goal which he nestled inside the pipe.

Basic truck washing is performed daily by our mobile units. Over 500 of these vehicles operate daily serving small and large companies. Our field people all wash vehicles according to procedures that we have standardized around the country. All our equipment is built in our own manufacturing plant in Fairfield, NJ and Phoenix AZ.. All cleaning chemicals used are biodegradable and all waste water is processed through our complete recovery system.
Trucking companies and refining companies have come under increasing pressure from State, Federal, and Local authorities to comply with regulations concerning vehicle washing, especially when the terminal is located near a stream or tidal area or where the runoff enters a storm drain. Present regulations do not prohibit vehicle washing per se, although some people are under that impression, but rather to prohibit certain contaminants found in effluent wash water from draining into storm drains. Fleetwash has devised methods to prevent this water from entering storm drains without getting involved in high-priced treatment facilities or recycling equipment.
We can therefore provide vehicle and fleet owners with simple, low cost washing without violating any environmental regulations. This procedure can be used in any terminal, without capital investments.
Fleetwash assumes full responsibility for the isolation, collection, safe transportation, and final elimination of all wash water involved in our washing process.
The water we remove from your premises is taken to our facility where the oil and solids are separated and the remaining water filtered and discharged to a sanitary drain. Since this material is not hazardous there is no need for a manifest. Fleetwash will provide you with a receipt for the water removed from your property. The small amount of oil and solids separated from your waste water is put into drums and picked up by a licensed waste hauler; we will provide you with paid receipts for the waste removed from our facility upon request.

Users See Cloud As an Alternative Financing StrategyPosted by Frank Gens on June 30th, 2009
Everyone knows that one of the top cloud services model benefits, according to users, is the ability to stream payments out over the offering's useful life, rather than paying the entire cost up-front. But I still found it intriguing when IDC colleague Jennifer Koppy recently presented additional data points that support the strong economic appeal of the cloud model:
CLICK IMAGE to ENLARGE
This survey finding, from the IDC Leasing and Financing Survey Results (IDC#218599, June 2009) report, shows user interest in a number of acquisition options, as alternatives to leasing. Two things stand out:
- Users rated cloud computing as the top alternative to traditional IT leasing. Cloud computing garnered the highest average rating (2.7 out of a maximum 4), as well as the highest percentage of respondents (27%) indicating an interest level of 4 ("very interested"). It's notable that the third highest-rated alternative was "utility-type computing", which is synonymous with cloud computing.
- Cloud computing edged out outsourcing as a leasing/financing alternative. In tough times, as CIOs are squeezed, they've traditionally looked to outsourcing as a method for lowering costs, and spreading them out. No doubt this finding will be particularly interesting – and challenging – to outsourcing services providers, most of whom are currently trying to determine just how serious they should be in adding cloud services options to their services profolios.
It's clear that cloud computing is of growing interest, not just to the technologists, but to the money people – the CFOs, CEOs, Procurement VPs, as well as senior IT execs – who think about the capital and cost implications of IT. And from these ratings, it looks like their initial impressions are positive. The implications for the IT leasing and finance players, as well as traditional IT outsourcers is obvious: they need to quickly determine how they will get their share of the growing cloud opportunity.

Shanghai's 15 best al fresco drinking spots
1. Cotton's (Anting Lu)
Since 2005, Hunanese native Cotton Ding has been cultivating the reputation of her namesake bar in Anting Lu as one of the city's most chilled-out places to get your drink. This perennial Shanghai favorite is particularly popular when the sun comes out and the leafy garden terrace comes into its own.
Al fresco fact: The expansive outdoor terrace at Cotton's in Anting Lu once formed the gardens of a colonial mansion that housed the Mayor of Shanghai.
Drink: At Cotton's extended weekday happy hours, the convivial ambiance becomes even more friendly. Between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday drinks are buy-one-get-one free.
Cotton's, 132 Anting Lu, near Jianguo Xi Lu 安亭路132号, 近建国路, +86 21 6433 7995, www.cottons-shanghai.com
2. Swatch Art Peace Hotel Terrace
This terrace, on the seventh floor of the Swatch Art Peace Hotel, is so new it's not even open yet. CNNGo got a sneak peak of this soon-to-be Bund hotspot, which opens in June atop the Bund's latest chic, colonial heritage hotel.
As it's located next door to Bund 18 on the corner of Nanjing Lu, it's fair to say that this terrace will probably have a pretty similar view to that of Bar Rouge -- minus the thumping techno.
Al fresco fact: Up to 120 people will be able to enjoy the uninterrupted views of Pudong at any one time.
Drink: A Flaming Shook!tini (RMB 75) that's Tanqueray gin, Campari, Cointreau, Sweet Vermouth and orange juice, garnished with an orange twist
Swatch Art Peace Hotel Terrace, 7/F, The Swatch Art Peace Hotel, 23 Nanjing Dong Lu, near Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu 南京东路23号7楼, 近中山东一路, +86 21 5866 6428
3. El Willy
Guillermo "Willy" Trullas Moreno's signature tapas are the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon or evening of wine and cocktails and his Siesta Garden is one of Shanghai's nicest outdoor areas in which to indulge your appetite for the finer things in life.
The garden space -- and Willy himself -- attract a fun crowd of drinkers and diners most nights of the week.
Al fresco fact: The 50-seat Siesta Garden stays buzzing until late into the evening, so no need to plan post-dinner drinks.
Drink: Try the margaritas for an after-work pick-me-up or a Bloody Mary if you're feeling seedy on a sunny Saturday afternoon (drinks are priced between RMB 50 and 70).
El Willy, 20 Donghu Lu, near Huaihai Lu 东湖路20号, 近淮海路, +86 21 5404 5757, www.elwilly.com.cn
4. Sir Elly's Terrace, Peninsula Hotel
Sir Elly's is the luxe fine-dining venue of the Peninsula Hotel overlooking the Pudong skyline from the 13th floor, and one floor up, you'll find Sir Elly's Terrace, which serves a sophisticated range of cocktails, with summer-time specials on "tropical" cocktails, starting from June 1.
Al fresco fact: This expansive terrace on the 14th floor of the Peninsula Hotel can hold up to 500 cocktail-swilling patrons.
Drink: Sir Elly's signature drink is the eponymous Sir Elly's (RMB 90, plus 15 percent), a vodka-based cocktail with orange liquor, vanilla liquor and cranberry juice.
Sir Elly's Terrace, 14/F, 32 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, near Beijing Dong Lu 中山东一路32号13楼, 近北京东路, +86 21 2327 6756, www.peninsula.com
5. Yongfoo Elite
Yongfoo Elite embodies the Shanghai folklore of East-meets-West decadence.
Mahogany paneling, crystal chandeliers, koi fish winding their way through a pond, Buddha statues, Chinese lanterns, antiques and designer furniture: Yongfoo Elite is not one for what you would call a subtle decor.
For nature lovers, there are more shades of green in this garden than in the rest of the city combined, and the regular live performances of Beijing opera only add to the opium-dream feel.
Al fresco fact: The 2,500-square-meter garden plays host to several bar areas, some open to the public and other strictly reserved for members and high-rollers.
Drink: Celebrate lounging on a canopy bed in the grounds of the former British Consulate with a gin and tonic (RMB 80).
Youngfoo Elite, 200 Yongfu Lu, near Hunan Lu 永福路200号, 近湖南路, +86 21 5466 2727, www.yongfooelite.com
6. The Fat Olive (Xizang Lu)
White couches abound aboard the good ship Fat Olive, and the views of Shanghai's old city and the Pudong skyline are reasons enough to give it a try. The selection of wines by the glass from RMB 34 and Greek-style snacks (RMB 25-40) are just the icing on the cake.
Al fresco facts: The sixth-floor space is about 70 percent rooftop patio making it an ideal place to while away the warm nights in a casual, totally anti-club atmosphere.
Drink: Every Friday from 6 p.m. Bollinger Champagne is RMB 100 a glass and RMB 700 per bottle -- not a bad way to finish off the work week.
The Fat Olive, 6/F, Silver Court Complex, 228 Xizang Nan Lu, near Huaihai Lu 西藏南路228号6楼, 近淮海路, +86 21 6334 3288, www.thefatolive.com
7. Flair Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
A very "special occasion" option for al fresco drinking, Flair's split-level outdoor terrace offers Shanghai's most breathtaking view to drink by. But spaces like this don't come cheap. There is a minimum charge of RMB 350 per person for outdoor tables, and because it's part of a hotel, don't forget to factor in the 15 percent surcharge on everything.
Al fresco fact: Located on the 58th floor of the new Ritz-Carlton in Pudong, this is the highest outdoor restaurant and bar in Shanghai, and the best place to feel as though you can reach out and touch the pink-jeweled pearls of Lujiazui's iconic Pearl Tower.
Drink: For something different, try the Flair Experience, made with mango puree and whiskey. It's like drinking a a smoothie for grown-ups (RMB 90, plus 15 percent).
Flair Rooftop Restaurant & Bar, 58/F, Shanghai IFC, 8 Century Dadao, near Lujiazui Huan Lu 世纪大道8号上海国金中心, 近陆家嘴环路, +86 21 2020 1717, www.ritzcarlton.com/shanghaipudong
8. The Apartment
Nestled atop the leaves of the former French Concession, The Apartment's rooftop bar has cultivated a reputation as the place where Shanghai's beautiful people come out to play.
Come for happy hour and watch the sun set over the colonial architecture of old Shanghai, before the modern beats of the house DJ wakes you from your reverie and bring you right back to 2011.
Al fresco fact: The rooftop terrace at The Apartment seats 75 people and is home to a small bar and an itsy-bitsy pizza kitchen.
Drink: During the weekday happy hour from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., all standard drinks are two-for-one. Normally, you can get cocktails from RMB 50 and a pint of San Miguel on tap for RMB 45.
The Apartment, 3/F, 47 Yongfu Lu, near Fuxing Xi Lu 永福路47号3楼, 近复兴西路, +86 21 6437 9478, www.theapartment-shanghai.com
9. Bar 12.21, Morton's Shanghai
Morton's has long list of creative cocktails highlighting top-shelf spirits and strong pours, and they are crafted with care (Shanghai bartenders, please take note). Their glass-encased cellar also stocks more than 250 labels and a special Bar Bites menu offers tasty, bite-sized options, including three miniature crab cakes, chicken goujonettes and blue cheese steak fries.
Al fresco fact: Morton's fourth-floor terrace, which accommodates 40 people, is already open for business, but soon, it will be dwarfed by the 680-square-meter rooftop space set to open in June, 2011.
Drink: From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday, Bar 12.21 offers five of their most popular cocktails (normally priced from RMB 88-108) for only RMB 38, accompanied by a complimentary free-flow petite filet mignon steak sandwiches. This is one of Shanghai's best deals.
Bar 12.21, Morton's, 4/F, ifc Mall, 8 Century Avenue, near Lujiazui Huan Lu 世纪大道8号, 国金中心IFC商场4楼, 近陆家嘴环路, +86 21 6075 8888, www.mortons.com/shanghai
10. The Roof, Waterhouse
This rooftop cocktail bar, set atop a boutique hotel, offers a great view of the Huangpu River from the South Bund, and serves up creative concoctions and a variety of appetizers to a select clientele. Expect a mix of trendy locals, expats and tourists.
Al fresco fact: Along with the rather impressive views, The Roof also has its own herb garden which provide fresh cocktail ingredients.
Drink: A Dirty Lychee Martini (RMB 70) with fresh lychee, raspberry vodka, lychee liqueur and lychee juice is one of the city's sweetest signature drinks.
The Roof, 5/F, Waterhouse, 1-3 Maojiayuan Lu, near Zhongshan Nan Lu 毛家园路1号, 邮政编码, 近中山南路 +86 21 6080 2928, www.waterhouseshanghai.com
11. Park Tavern
Located across the road from Xujiahui Park, this British-style pub is housed in a historic villa and is a big hit with sports fans, as well as those who love the combination of pints and fish and chips in a garden setting.
Al fresco facts: This is hands-down the nicest garden in which to watch sports in Shanghai.
Drink: A pint of strongbow cider (RMB 60) is the most refreshing way to enjoy The Park Tavern's formidable terrace.
Park Tavern, 840 Hengshan Lu, near Tianping Lu 衡山路840号, 近天平路, +86 21 5465 9312
12. Café Sambal, Jiashan Market
This mid-range Malaysian cafe is a great reason to make the trek to Jiashan Market, not least for a couple of cocktails among the tree tops of the former French Concession. The food is great as well, with the gado-gado and fried four-sided bean with cashew nut sauce proving particularly good accompaniments to the mojitos.
Al fresco fact: The spacious outdoor terrace on the second floor and rooftop garden accommodates 80 people.
Drink: Asked about his signature drink was, the barman replied with a resounding "Mojito!" And after trying a couple of Café Sambal's mojitos (RMB 55), we aren't going to argue.
Café Sambal, Bldg A, No. 37, Lane 550 Shaanxi Nan Lu, near Shaoxing Lu 陕西南路550弄37号A楼嘉善市场, 近绍兴路, +86 21 3368 9529, www.cafesambal.com
13. The Roof
Here we have another venue called "The Roof," which gives visitors to this Taiwanese-run cocktail bar an idea of this venue's most attractive feature. Not that the lovely terrace is the only thing this place has going for it -- the drinks are consistently sophisticated and well-crafted and the service is among the most friendly and attentive in town.
Al fresco fact: The Roof's large terrace takes up nearly 60 per cent of the venue's total area and overlooks the courtyard below.
Drink: Opt for the The Roof Iced Tea (RMB 88) if you are looking for some extra kick.
The Roof, 4/F, Bldg 5, Surpass Court, 570 Yongjia Lu, near Yueyang Lu 永嘉路570弄5号4楼, 近岳阳路, +86 21 6073 7628
14. Strip on 6th
Hidden away on the Ascott Residence's sixth floor in the north tower of the revamped Hong Kong Plaza is Strip on 6th.
The lounge and terrace is the lower half of the Strip Prime Steakhouse, and features one of the best terrace spaces in Shanghai (hence the reason it's on this list).
Come for the view, but stay for the thoughtful cocktail menu and the unbelievable Skinny Frites, with truffle oil and sea salt (RMB 48).
Al fresco fact: This 550-square-meter terrace offers 270-degree panoramic views of Huaihai Lu, People's Square and the Nanjing Lu Skyline.
Drink: For a true taste of summer in Shanghai, try the signature Shanghaipolitan, with Ketel One vodka, Belevedere Citrus, Grand Marnier, cranberry, fresh lime and pineapple (RMB 75). Classic cocktails are RMB 50 during the weekday happy hour from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Strip on 6th, 6/F, Hong Kong Plaza, 282 Huaihai Zhong Lu, near Songshan Lu 香港广场6楼, 淮海中路282号, 近嵩山路, +86 21 6091 9893, www.thestripshanghai.com
15. Bar Rouge
Early in the evening, the terrace at Bar Rouge is populated with tourists, nearby office workers looking for an after-work drink and upper-crust locals taking in the view of the Lujiazui, along with a pre-dinner drink before heading out to one of the strip's many restaurants.
After 9 p.m., the terrace brings respite from the dance floor for the party animals who pack out this Bund institution night after night.
Al fresco fact: To put it in the simplest possible terms, the Sky Lounge at Bar Rouge is a big part of why this Bund-side bar is Shanghai's most famous nightlife institution.
Drink: Drinking at Bar Rouge conjures up two words: "Moët"' and "Chandon." A bottle of the Imperial Champagne will set you back RMB 980. The signature cocktail, appropriately named Bar Rouge, with vodka, Grand Marnier, raspberry and cranberry (RMB 80) is also a good choice.
Bar Rouge, 7/F, 18 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, near Nanjing Dong Lu 中山东一路18号外滩18号7楼, 近南京东路, +86 21 6339 1199, www.bar-rouge-shanghai.com
