Kitchen Island - how do I get power to it?
Planning to add a kitchen island. It will be a simple single level island - granite top on a 48" base cabinet. No crawl space - concrete slab.
The light switch will not have the supply you need. Just a hot and ground. How are you getting water and drain to the island?
i made an island and it has no outlet on it...?
Concrete slab you will probably have to chisel out a channel to drop some conduit in and run your wire through that. I couldn't tell you how far down it should go inside a house and much less in a kitchen area. Most kitchens I have ever seen with an island, had some sort of access below it whether it was the basement or a crawl space.
I don't believe water and drain are a requirement to have run to the island (unless of course your putting in a sink at the island). I believe only the electrical is required by code. The switch box may have power run to it, the Op will just have to test the wires for power at the switch and find out, otherwise find an outlet in the kitchen to run the island power off of.
hmmm, you must mean a permanent island then, not a moveable one like i made? and how can the outlet be 6" above an island? aren't they flat???
i'm not getting it, i guess..... i'll put on another pot of coffee......
The code does require a GFCI protected (20amp served) receptacle on every island in a kitchen. Sinks and drains are purely optional on islands, and have no bearing on the electrical requirement. Theatretch85 pretty much summed up the receptacle location requirements.
Mouse makes a good point about the fact that his island is movable. Pretty much impossible to install a receptacle on a movable island. Although the code makes no mention of it, it is my opinion that a movable island would be considered furniture and would not require a receptacle. I have encountered this a number of times, and only allow them to skip the receptacle if the island is movable (many people use bun feet and felt pads) and if there is finished flooring underneath. If the floor underneath isn't finished it is my opinion that it is a permanent fixture that will never be moved. I've had a couple builders try to get away with leaving the receptacle out and simply not screwing the cabinet down and leave off the base shoe, and try to convince me it is movable. :no: Remember, this isn't mentioned in the code, so you'd need to agree on it with your building inspector. Just an idea...
As for getting the wire to it...
Are you replacing the kitchen flooring? If so, the notch idea in the slab is all I can think of either. Normally, when planning for an island, the builder runs some conduit in/under the slab to fish a wire through.
As for mounting the box, use a metal box, which is easily mounted in the cabinet faceframe, a fake drawer front, or a raised panel.
ok, thanks for clearing that up kc. if the OP wanted a cupboard ABOVE the island, the wiring could come from above easily enough too, could it not?
Current Ontario code says that a peninsula or island does not require outlets as there is no wall to mount them on. However you almost certainly do want them.
They may (not must) be installed below the counter level. You can use one of these methods:
1) 15 amp 3-wire split.
2) 20 amp 2-wire, with one or two T-slot receptacles
Code requires GCFI if within 1 metre of the sink. However, use a GCFI in the first receptacle - it's not worth worrying about, and the next generation of Ontario code will demand it.
If the island is close to a wall then the inspector may deem it an eating area that requires receptacles to be mounted on the wall at that point.
[offtopic] MDangerMouse, your no-prize quote looks like you've used the metre of the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.[/offtopic]
A cable can be suspended from the ceiling (or so I believe) provided it is protected from mechanical damage and supported every 4 feet. I have seen a chrome tube used for this that was also used to support a party-susan pan rack plus lighting. It looked very effective - although I do not know if it was under permit.
thekctermite - does your code vary much from State to State in terms of basic stuff like receptacle location, clamping, de-rating, box fill, grounding etc? I imagine there may be differences in vapour barrier requirements between Florida and Michigan, or maybe special stuff as regards earthquakes.
Paul..... true, it does have that Jabberwocky smell to it.... but i don't think that's where it comes from....
but what do i know? i sit under a bridge in a mud puddle all day.....
for anyone paying attention.... that was another clue.... -=chuckle=-
oh, and googleing this will get you nowhere but here.....
Building codes tend to vary regionally, and even from city to city. The International (ICC) codes are the norm, but there are a number of other exceptions depending on where you're at. You're right...What works in Florida won't work in Kansas, and what works in Kansas won't work in California or North Dakota.
Do I need to remove the countertop and rotate it to its original configuration with ~1" of overhang above the outlet and the 16" overhang on the opposite end?

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello. Welcome to Just Answer. Please allow me to assist you by discussing your request in further detail; thanks
Please allow me to ask a question....the taillamps stay on....does this include the license plate lamp? Thanks
no those only come on if you turn on teh lights. also when you press the brake nothing changes, its the brake lights stuck I think. the brake light in the rear window is on also
Ok. The brake lamps are staying on. That is what I needed to know, so I did not give you the wrong information
This sounds very much like a failed brake lamp switch.
In order to save the battery from draining, can you go to the car, look under the driver side of the dash, and locate the fuse panel?
We need to remove the top left 15 amp fuse, thsi is the brake light fuse. once removed, the brake lamps should go out
Ok so where is thatnat maybe a digram and some instructions would be great
Directly under the dashboard, on the driver side. Farthest to the left, towards the outer side of the car. THe fuse box may or may not have a plastic cover
If it is dark where you are, a flashlight will be very helpful
While you are under the dash, look at the top of the brake pedal assembly, where it pivots. There should be a switch with a red and white wire on one terminal , and a green and white wire on the other terminal
if you unplug the wire connector, the brake lights should go out
If the lights go out (this is with the fuse still in place), we will have solved the problem, the brake switch is indeed sticking
ok will be about 30 min or so before I can get back to this. will let you know and thanks for the quick info.
OK. You are very welcome. I will be here most of the evening; let me know how you make out thanks
So how do I unplug it just pull it off or is thsre a catch/trick to it? Could nt seem to get it so I took out the fuse so I dont have a dead battery. How do you remove it? Just unscrew that nut on it?
It helps to remove the switch form the bracket; there is a clip that holds the connector secure
This is done to keep one from accidentally knocking the wire connector loose when hitting the brakes.
OK that answers how to remove it. I took out the fuse to keep teh battery from dying. to remove the switch all together, do I just unscrew that nut on it? thanks again
yes unscrew the nut

A CONCERT being touted as "one of the biggest blues nights Kiama is ever going to get" will be hitting all the right notes this weekend.
Three acts will perform at Kiama Bowling Club this Saturday night from 7pm.
The show will be headlined by blues/rock outfit Ray Beadle and the Silver Dollars.
Also appearing will be The Jacky Howellers and The Stingers.
Both support acts feature members from the Kiama area.
The Jacky Howellers performed at the Australian Blues Music Festival in Goulburn earlier this year, and are slated to appear at the Sydney Blues and Roots Festival in October.
The Jacky Howellers harmonica player and Kiama Downs resident Dan Sullivan said Illawarra-based Beadle's band was one of the top blues acts in the country at the moment.
"He has a huge following," Sullivan said. "He's one of the best blues guitarists in the country, and they'll get people jumping and dancing.
"To get those three acts together is probably one of the biggest blues nights Kiama is ever going to get. It's a big one, not to be missed."
Tickets are $5 at the door.

Karadi Tales are a collection of short stories that help little kids to learn faster. Sometimes learning can be a bit complicated for little kids and Karadi tales makes learning fun for them. When you purchase these stories for your children, you will understand their value in teaching children. This is a book with stories and colourful pictures
The stories are available in the form of audio books as well. The audio CD has a voice reading of the stories. This will actually help your child in developing the habit of reading and pronouncing new words.
There are a lot of advantages that you will get by introducing your child to Karadi Tales
• Once you introduce your child to these stories, your child will surely start reading faster than any other child of the same age group. Since your child will get into the habit of reading aloud with the audio track, he or she will develop clear speech recognition and pronunciation skills from a very young age.
• Since these tales forces Kids to listen carefully, they end up learning things a lot faster than by simply observing things around them
So how exactly do these tales help our children to learn better?
Initially our children use phonetics to learn the pronunciation of a particular word and then they use the word as a picture and can pronounce the word as a whole. In these tales of Karadi a series of words are placed side by side and the kids get them to pronounce them together serially. So this way these Tales teach kids how to pronounce be making them to repeatedly listen and read the same passages in the book.
The stories in Karadi are designed in such a way that most of the sentences have phonetics and easy words that children can pronounce very easily. The audio track will in fact assist the child to learn how to pronounce the words without any difficulties.
The audio track on the CD is recorded by such a person who has a crystal clear accent and so it will be easy for children to understand what he or she is saying. To pronounce a word right the child requires to hear it right.
Sometimes listening to an audio track can be boring so to light up the things a little bit, there is a very lively background music that grips the attention of the children for a longer period of time. It is observed that children learn a lot faster by looking and hearing rather than reading pages and pages of stories. In fact many schools are now using the concept of Karadi tales in their curriculum to help children learn faster.
Karadi tales also include traditional stories like the story of Rama, Buddha and funny stories from Panchatantra. These will actually help children to learn about our country's rich history in a fun way. The stories of Karadi help children to enjoy learning without the fear of being scolded in case they make mistakes; in fact it gives them a lot of self-confidence. This is the best medium for children to learn these days.

Why are the General Lots oversold?
General permits may park in lots indicated from the east to west end of campus. Because of the coming and going of students with various class schedules and the expansion and development of new lots in the summer of 1998 and 2012, we have alleviated many of the parking problems which we previously had before.
Why did I get a ticket when my friend/co-worker said I wouldn't?
Do not rely on what a friend/co-worker says or on other people's examples of parking. It is best to read the regulations and familiarize yourself with your parking areas.
What do I do when I have to run into a building for just a minute?
If you must make a quick trip in to a building there are meters available near most building complexes. You may get a guest pass from the Public Safety Office at 1616 9th Ave South. Guest Passes are available 24 hours a day.
What do I do if my vehicle is unable to move?
If your vehicle is disabled, please contact Public Safety Office at 218.477.2675 as soon as you are able. Public Safety offers a free jumpstart service for vehicles on campus.
Where can I park on weekends?
All lots are free parking from Friday at 4:30 p.m. to Monday at 7 a.m. (Exception of Daycare parking spaces in D-1 lot which are monitored until 5:30 p.m.; and F-1 lot which is monitored daily from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.)
Where can I get a Guest Permit?
You may get a guest pass from the Public Safety Office at 1616 9th Ave South. Guest Passes are available 24 hours a day.
Where can I park my motorcycle?
Motorcycle areas are located north of the Maintenance building, north and west of Nelson Hall, and north of the Newman Center. Please check the University Campus Map for exact locations. If parked on Motorcycle pads, motorcycles do not need permits.
I heard that you get one free ticket a year, is this true?
No. In order to have any ticket dismissed it would have to be approved through the appeal process. The appeal site is listed on the back of the ticket under number 4.
Can permits override meters?
The only MSUM issued permits allowed to park in metered areas are the No Zone, Vendor, Special and Retired Permits. Reserved and General permits do not override meters.
Is there any free parking on MSUM campus?
Yes. There is free guest parking in lot F-1 from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. No overnight parking is allowed and vehicles parked in this lot between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. will be ticketed.

Cadillac or competing brand model ? Why ? Discussion, [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4 in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; For those of you who are in the market, which one are you leaning towards or between? (random photos) 2009 ...
[2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
For those of you who are in the market, which one are you leaning towards or between? (random photos)
2009 - BMW (Facelift) E90
2009 - Audi (New Body) A4/S4
2009 - Lexus (Facelift) ISxxx
2009 - Cadillac CTS
2009 - M benz C Class
These are the ones i had to choose between.
These were my top 5 options. I know this is a Cadillac site but im sure some of you are in or have been in the same dilemma. Maybe you have/had other cars in mind, what made you lean towards the CTS? likes or dislikes?
Share your thoughts here.
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
without telling us your preference and your backgroud or anything you specifically like, I'd say you can easily eliminate mb and Lexus if you are talking about cclass and is350. bmw 3 series has nothing special and nothing new and so it is boring compare to the cts, especially the exterior. if you pick bmw 3 series, i rather do Lexus for it's price, maintain cost, endurance, millage and comfortableness (i checked the BMW 08's). The back up camera is kidda fun in the Lexus too. I also considered 5 series when 3 series is not my cup of tea, but 5 series is little bit over size and meaningless because i could have get a better car with that money. I personally like MB, but not the C/E class because i feel that it is "cheap", may be it's just me, but that's how i think. Besides, the newly redesign S class is coming out soon. Also, when you purchase MB, it is not necessary to purchase it new.
CTS easily stand out, especially in da year of 2008..it is a safer ride and i wish you had gotten da CTS earlier. oh, i forgot about the audi, well who cares. perhaps, you can consider jaguar xk/xf.. a little bit more expensive but around the price range.
hopefully you schedule a test drive on the CTS. You will like it. There are different setting for the CTS. ask for DI+FE3 setting. If you live in places that snow a lot do DI+FE2+AWD

Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
Well, I know you've already ordered a CTS. It definitely has more style than the others (a lot more to look at). I like looking at the others because it makes me realize how incredibly good looking the CTS is. The others are nice, but they aren't Cadillac CTS's. But, between the the ones you've posted, I'd have to choose the BMW (after the CTS). Like lordbaby said, I would look at the Jag. XF as competition with the CTS (in the area of looks and styling anyway), JMO.
Was gm_eng able to help ?
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
The Comparisons should be CTS v E350 v A6 v GS350 v 530i
IMO You have the CTS one class low.
I looked at all those and picked the CTS - Came out of a BMW 540iSA

lordbaby - the s-class was just redesigned and introduced in 2007. there is a scheduled face lift in 2010 and a brand new s class not until 2014.
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
Having test-driven the BMWs and MBs before deciding on the 2008 CTS, I have to second TheDrakster's comment -- you're comparing the CTS to cars that cost about the same but are in a different class.
The lease on my 2006 CLS500 was up in June. Even though I can write off most of the expense, my wife convinced me to get something less costly than what I had been driving in recent years, especially since I lease and drive only about 10,000 miles a year any more. So I decided to test drive several possible replacements, including the less expensive BMW, Mercedes, and because of the review I've attached, the CTS. Didn't look at Lexus -- I've never liked their old-lady styling, nor at Audi, which IMHO makes great cars with bland looks.
My impression of the BMW 3 Series was that it's very cramped. In fact, I just sat in it, said no way (I'm 62 years old, 6 feet, 210 pounds). Reminded me of my beloved 1971 2002, size-wise. The salesman agreed and said he also found it too small for comfort. We then moved to the 5 Series, which I liked a lot more. Drove well, handled great, but the styling left me a bit cold, and I H A T E D the iDrive (Car & Driver has accurately dubbed it "a curse").
I've had several Mercedes, including a 2004 E55 and a 2006 CLS500. I L O V E D both of them. But they were VERY expensive. Having heard good things about the new C Class, I went to look. Oy, vey! Now maybe I was spoiled by my beautiful CLS500, but the C was a real turn-off. How do you say C H I N T Z Y in German? The interior reminded me of one of the El Cheapo cars I rent from Hertz, and it was cramped. The exterior was not all that attractive -- they seemed to be trying to squeeze the MB look into a package that's just too small to accommodate it. No class at all. Acceleration was so-so, handling was just OK. I said, "No," and moved on to the E350. The 2008 E had the same NAV system as my 2006, which was only OK, and the interior was very "been there, done that" for me. Nice car, but I've had two Es, and this wasn't in the same class as my E55 when it comes to cool. I briefly considered an E63, a CLS550, and even a CLS63 -- but I couldn't justify $80K to $100K+ on a car (being able to afford something is not the same as feeling comfortable about a purchase).
It became clear that the 2008 CTS was the best bet in the price range I was considering. I agonized over that for a few days, not sleeping for two nights in a row, because I don't (or more accurately, didn't) drive American cars -- I had been an import guy since 1969, including VW, BMW, Toyota, Infiniti, Acura, and Mercedes. The one exception, a 1976 (?) Dodge Aspen wagon for my wife, was a giant POS with seemingly endless problems and recalls. So I went and drove the CTS again. It was like realizing I love someone I wanted to hate. It's perfect for me, almost identical in size to my CLS500 and in the same league looks-wise, it handles well, has good acceleration, the fit and finish are superb, the interior is great, the toys are fantastic (especially the NAV/Audio system), and it looks great, standing out from the rounded, lumpy looks of the other cars you've listed.
If you're like me and need a bit of convincing, consider that in recent years Cadillac has outscored nearly all the competition in initial quality and user satisfaction surveys (there are a couple of recent threads about that on this board), the 2008 CTS was the Car & Driver Car of the Year in 2008, and it has received rave reviews from the professional critics (see attached review by Dan Neil, the Pulitzer Prize wining auto critic for the L.A. Times).
I really think you'll be happy with the CTS. I certainly have no regrets, and I'm pretty hard to please.
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
To be honest, they are all fine vehicles but my take on them is as follows.
BMW- Fantastic car when you can pick your BMW out of the ocean of identical vehicles in the parking lot. Fast, fun and reliable. Pricey and you always get the feeling you payed allot for, well your not quite sure what made it cost so much?
Audi- All new! Great interior, MMI is great. Audi itself is the german version of Chrysler playing second fiddle to BMW and MB. This car and the Cadillac stand out more than the others.
Lexus- Fast and probably reliable. About as exciting as Neosporin, yup sure it doesnt burn when you put it on and you know its killing everything but in the end it still just feels and looks like an greasy spot on your leg.
MB- New, great looking and its a Benz. Seems a generation behind the competition. Good at everything master at nothing. MB quality has fallen into a black hole recently.
Cadillac- New, fun, very well priced and sized. Has one of the finest interiors of the group. ITS AMERICAN!!!! One of the greatest infotainment setups out there. Cadillac has been coming on strong lately and this car is the proof of that. Could use a tad more torque as it isnt the sprinting star. From a role however she'll run like a champ.
All in all, they are all great cars that you cant go wrong with.
Now Im going to go back to what I do best and and a bit of
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
as far as the C-class i didn't even look there because my mom has had 3 mercedes benzes' and the newer they got the worse they got (the last one, an 03 E320 was BAD) as far as the rest, the lexus is kind of boring and not really in the same league as the CTS,3,A4/4 now being as i'm 21 and more after a car for style and performance i love the 3 series as far as looks and handling go, but it's too small for me to live with every day, but if the smaller size isn't a factor for you i'd say it's worth a look, now the new A4, from what i have seen i LOVE this car if i had 2 decide between it and the CTS i would have to toss a coin or something because i chose the CTS for it's handling and stand out in a crowd looks however the new A4 is a stunner as well and both have well made interiors so thats gonna come down to taste but it would deff would between those 2 for me. hope this helps!
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
LOL man i love reading everyones 2 cents.
I respect everyones decision and i know it comes down to what "you" want besides we all have different stories.
All of these cars have patential and could also use a few changes to meet personal interests/needs. I know i left some cars out i.e. g37 sedan/chrysler 300/acura TL, feel free to add them in if you would even consider.
Agian im open to hear everyones thoughts.
Here's my story, Im coming from a rear wheel drive w203 c320 benz and i live where it snows like 9 months of the year. I wish so bad that i could have a winter car and a summer car but for now i cant. So its best to consider an all wheel drive, and im on a time frame (buy by end of Oct) due to not wanting to buy another set of snow/studded tires and driving another winter with rear wheel drive. Here's what i was looking for:
Leather, interface to be simple but clean. comfort access, roomy, bluetooth, ipod adapter, nav., memory seats, heated seats, panoramic view is a plus, good stereo system w/ hd radio, fold down seats, rear/side shade, electronic everything, and so forth.
HID, adapt. headlights, headlight washers, dist. park control, rear cam would be nice, auto winshild whipers, projector fogs, folding mirrors i could use. Everything else is pretty much body design.
I wanted a car that does 0-60 under 6 seconds, a good suspension, handles well and all wheel drive so this already narrowed my options to 09 335XI/S4.
The C300/IS250 = Not bad cars at all, but performance wise in these models, lets face it, its too slow. I would consider both of these if they made a C350 4matic and IS350 AWD but not in America. Benz = better ext. / Lex = better int. C350 > ISxx
The 335XI is hands down best performance all around (is, was, and prob. always will be), I was dissapointed in this facelift on some parts of the exterior. Im sure with mods this can be fixed , However I want something a bit more roomier but overall i wasnt impressed with the exterior style. Im wanting a new "09" and even though i like the previous version i wont be going backwards.
The S4 on the other hand is more "my style" Im hearing great things about the handling with the 09's. I would consider this but with my luck it wont be available till sometime next year (Q1/Q2). My thoughts on this? I like most of what they did to this version, Interior is different but sleek vs. past models. Tails are kind of ugly but i have to see it in real life. So basicly i had to X this out. S4 > E90
In the end supprisingly i went with the 09 CTS 3.6 DI. I been doing a lot of research and everything down to a test drive impressed me. I think that a lot of people are bi'est towards Cadillac but when MotorTrend gave it car of the year (2008), it was for a reason. Before these improvements i never paid Cadillac no mind and therefore was never under my radar. There are a good amount of things that i wish this car had (this goes with any car in this class) but very few that i would change.
It drives smooth, plus with a few mods, it will meet my 0-60 in less then 6 seconds but i guess that goes with every car. Also im not a big fan of the OEM grille but i can change that too.
This thread isnt just about me its about all of us. Share your story past or present.
Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
While I realize it isn't really chic to say this, one of my decision points was to buy American if I could. While the Cadillac brand may not be a Lexus or a Benz or an Audi or BMW - it is getting close. Keeping US dollars withing the US as much as possible is a good thing - at least to me. At the rate we are sending them overseas, we may not have any to buy anything with in the future. YMMV

Re: [2009] CTS vs. E90 vs. W204 vs. IS vs. A4
I agree with all the previous comments; and I certainly agree about the 'cheapness' of the Mercedes C class interior--my next door neighbor has one.
Today I was doing my morning walk; a new '09 CTS4 was parked in the driveway, and the owner was getting out. As it was identical to my '08, I asked him what he thought of the car. He has had it 3 weeks; has been extremely pleased with it. interestingly, he said that he had been a BMW driver for nearly 10 years; he had just traded in his '06 3 series on the CTS; felt the CTS was a much more comfortable car and a much better interior than his BMW.

In what order is your choice of ride?
(Feel free to add any car in this class)
I was looking only at AWD's. (Some people are not)

'The Alchemist of Souls' - Anne Lyle
6 comments:
Thanks for the review, Erik. Sounds intriguing.ReplyDelete
I'm a little (lot) concerned about this Ned/Mal subplot. Is there a strong man-on-man vibe here? I'm curious about the story but that's not the kind of romance I like reading.Replies
Oh that was a tough question. I dont really like saucy books regardless of the mix of genders. I don't think there was anything distasteful about anything in this book. You would be doing it a disfavour (is that a word) if you dismissed it because of a little man on/in man action :)Delete
Hmm, I think you're reading too much into Erik's comment about Ned's feelings. There's romance in the book, but - hint - it isn't between those two ;)Delete
Not that I'm trying to defend the book. I'm proud of the fact that it has gay characters in realistic relationships, but anyone looking for steamy m/m romance will be sadly disappointed!
Thanks Anne,Delete
I wasn't sure, that's why I asked.
I've read books in the past that tossed in some m/m stuff and it just threw me right out of the story.
This looks like my kind of book. I've not read much historical fantasy so I'll keep my eyes peeled for when it's released.ReplyDelete
You always find the most exciting books to read!ReplyDelete

Hare and Tortoise serves sushi and Japanese dishes at bargain prices! My first visit to a Hare and Tortoise restaurant was about two years ago when a friend and I decided to try out the Ealing Branch. Since then I have become a regular customer and have also tried out the branches in Kensington and Bloomsbury. I have found that their food is consistently good and for a great price!
* * * *Restaurant* * * *
There are 5 different branches of Hare and Tortoise scattered around London. I have only visited the Ealing, Kensington and Bloomsbury branches but they can also be found in Putney and Blackfriars. All branches are conveniently located close to tube stations and are very easy to find. I am going to focus my review upon the Bloomsbury branch as this is the one which I visit most often. It is located in the Brunswick centre which I find a slightly nicer location with a bit more going on. It is always very busy despite competition from numerous chains, Strada and Giraffe are only a couple of metres away. Its an excellent place to stop off after shopping in the nearby shops or perhaps after a day visiting the museums.
The restaurant itself is very small. A lot of tables are crammed into a small space due to the popularity of the restaurant. The interior is very simple with no frills wipe clean tables rather than table clothes. Two sides of the restaurant are floor-to-ceiling glass windows which bring natural light into the tiny space making it look and feel larger. The bright lighting also helps the place to feel fresh, clean and modern. The décor is light and gives the place a simple but cheery atmosphere. This may not be the best place to go for an intimate romantic meal, it can be very noisy but I think that this all adds to the atmosphere. There is often a queue leading outside the door, particularly in the evening, but this usually goes down very quickly. I have never had to wait longer than ten minutes to get a table.
* * * *Menu/ Food* * * *
As I have mentioned above the restaurant itself very simple and nothing special. The real reason I keep coming back is the food!
The menu is a simple cardboard booklet with several colour photographs of some of the meals. The menu is split into several sections:
* Salads
* Side dishes (I often choose a starter from this section from a selection of spring rolls, chicken wings, chicken dumplings etc)
* Tempura (Deep fried, battered seafood or vegetables all come with a dashi based dipping sauce)
* Nigiri (a type of sushi...sushi rice with a fish topping. Toppings include eel, salmon, octopus, prawn, tuna, crab and omelette.)
*Sashimi (raw fish thinly sliced)
*Donburi (raw fish served in a bowl of rice)
*Maki (sushi rolls with various different fillings)
*Sushi Boxes (a mixture of sushi)
*Ramen (a noodles dish served in a meat of fish based broth)
*Noodles dishes (many different dishes, choices of beef, prawn, pork, chicken and tofu)
*Rich dishes (includes curry dishes also salmon teriyaki and chicken fried rice)
I have never had any of the sushi dishes myself although my boyfriend once ordered a sushi box and I stole a couple of pieces. It was very nice and had clearly been freshly prepared. However, his meal was much more expensive than mine and less filling. His 12 pieces of sushi cost around £12 whereas my huge bowl of curry cost only £6. I would recommend the dishes from the ramen, noodles and rice sections especially if you are hungry.
I usually choose a starter from the side dishes section of the menu. My favourite option is the Panko Honey King Prawns. These are 3 deep fried prawns coated in very fine bread crumbs. The prawns themselves are quite large, about 4 or 5 inches long and come with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. The sauce complements the prawns really well. Although not the healthiest option they are delicious. The starter seems as though it is the perfect size but as the main meals are so large I sometimes find it better to share and save my appetite for the main meal. I have also tried the Vegetarian Spring Rolls which I found a bit of a disappointment, they are very small and although you get 6 of them they are not very filling. They are served with the same sweet chilli dipping sauce as the prawns. The starters (or side dishes) although quite nice do not match up to the main meals either in taste or price. The spring rolls are £2.90 and the prawns are £3.80 both these prices seem like a lot for what you get especially when compared to the great value for money main courses.
As I said above I think that the best main course options lie in the ramen, noodle and rice dish categories. My two favourite dishes have to be the Singapore Rice Noodles and the Tori Katsu Curry. The Singapore Rice Noodles come served in a huge bowl filled with the thin noodles, chicken, pork, prawns, onions, carrots, beansprouts, mushrooms and chilli. The sauce is has a bit of a kick to it but was not overly spicy. I could taste the chilli and could also taste lime. The portions are very generous. I have never managed to finish a bowl! There is also lots of meat especially lots of large prawns. The Tori Katsu Curry comes served in a huge bowl as well. The rice is white steamed rice which is quite sticky and you get a lot of it! On top of the rice is a large chicken breast coated in breadcrumbs cut into thin slices and a thick Japanese curry sauce. The sauce itself is light brown in colour, it looks exactly like chip shop curry. It has slices of potato and carrot in it. The sauce is not particularly spicy. All the food comes to the table steaming hot and has clearly been freshly prepared. The prices are excellent with both of these main meals costing £6 for more food than I can ever manage to eat. This is excellent value for a central London restaurant. I often ask to take home the food I couldn't eat if there is a lot left. They are happy to do this although they do charge 50p for the box.
* * * *Overall Experience* * * *
The service has always been very good at each of the restaurants I have visited. The staff although busy have always been attentive. On a couple of occasions we have had to wait a while to catch somebodys eye in order to ask for the bill but this has never been a huge problem.
Whenever I have been in a Hare and Tortoise whether at lunchtime or in the evening it has always been busy. However, I have never had to wait long for my meal which usually arrives within 10 to 15 minutes. The staff are friendly and very quick to clear away empty plates and wipe down tables, probably because there is always a queue!
I have on several occasions eaten alone after a long day shopping. People dining alone is something I see often in Hare and Tortoise and due to the informal atmosphere was something I felt very comfortable doing.
The last time I went to the Bloomsbury branch I took my sister, we shared at a starter then I had a rice dish whilst she had a noodle dish. We each had a soft drink. The bill came to £20 and we both had about half of our meal boxed up to take home! I have never had a bad meal from here. The food is always filling and delicious with great prices!!
I am not a fan of Chinese food. I have eaten various takeaways and restaurant meals over the years and can't say I've ever enjoyed any of them. However, some friends of mine were keen to go for a meal at the Hare and Tortoise and in the spirit of not being seen to be a 'miserable cow' I decided to go along. The Hare and Tortoise offers a range of Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes, and the menus come with lovely pictures so you can get a feel for what you're ordering.
I managed to find a few things on the menu that I thought sounded and looked quite tasty, and I was not disappointed. They do a good selection of starters, main courses and they have several desserts to choose from. The food can range from the exotic and spicy (curries) to the more simple and, some may say, bland (duck with rice). They also do several veggie options. I thoroughly enjoyed my duck and I tried a sample of my friend's curry and thought it very tasty indeed. H&T has taken away my fear of Chinese restaurants.
We were served quickly and efficiently and our starters were brought out within about 10 mins. Similar standard of service for the main courses and desserts, although we did have to get the staff's attention when we wanted more drinks, but that's not unusual for a restaurant.
The prices are really reasonable. A three-course meal should only cost about £15, plus drinks. The seating was clean, modern and simple, although maybe slightly too crammed in (obviously due to the popularity of the place) but this is a good place to eat out for lunch or a light bite in the evening.
They have a website where you can view the menus also, and maps of the locations of the branches. www.hareandtortoise.co.uk
For large parties I would definitely book in advance though or else they may not be able to seat you very quickly.
There are always queues at the H&T (well, at the Bloomsbury branch, anyway) which are evidence of its popularity, but the queues do go down quickly so a 10-minute wait is about the most you should expect.
I first started going to this restaurant about 7 years ago. At first, I wasn't so keen and didn't see the appeal of this nice cheap and cheerful eatery. However, over the years, I have learnt to love it and now me and my friends go here for a quick bite to eat at least once a month.
This review is for the Ealing branch, located opposite the Haven Green and besides Ealing Broadway tube station.

The Chain
Hare and Tortoise ("H&T") is a chain of 5 branches which are located in Ealing, Blackfriars, Bloomsbury, Kensington and Putney. I remember it was only the two branches (Ealing and Kensington) but it seems that the chain has grown to be so popular that it has now dotted itself around London.
The chain offers cheap and cheerful Chinese and Japanese style fast food. We're talking, Wagamama with a more authentic kick!
The Ealing Branch
Me and my husband attended this restaurant when it first opened. We wanted a quick bite and this place delivered. However, on the one occasion we'd visited, the workers had the background music to techno turned up to the loudest possible volume. So our experience wasn't great and we left it a good year or two before venturing back. First impressions do really count!
Fortunately, our second visit some time later was much better.
The décor is basic - standard clean and simple table and chair with quick wipe clean table tops. Tables look like they are bunched in twos, with the occasion four seaters. I do get the impression, however, that they are trying to cram in as many tables as they can in the limited space that the restaurant has. One reason for the small seating space is the kitchen is located near the front of the restaurant. When this place first opened, having the kitchen exposed to the diners and in full view was a novelty. Now, you seem to get there everywhere from Strada to Yo Sushi. I do like that set up though, despite it being so space hungry, because you can see the chefs making your food and they can't get away with unhygenic practices (which, incidentally, H&T's rival across the road, Coco Noodle bar, with it's kitchen at the back started getting so dodgy that it had to be shut down by Ealing Council for rat infestation....that's another story for another time!). So all in all, I have no complaints and I like the cosy feel.
When packed out, this restaurant can get quite nosy though. The hard walls and furniture seem to exaggerate the volume and you can find yourself shouting at your dining partner just to hold a conversation.
The restaurant operates a table service, similar to Wagamamas (minus that strange "writing on your placemat" activity that goes on at Wagamamas!).
The food is delicious and not at all pricey. I have tried a variety of dishes. Their sushi is fantastically fresh. O.K., not the best, but much better than your officially unauthentic chains such as Yo Sushi. However, warning, I have attended the restaurant on a busy Saturday once where I ordered a sushi set and my dining partner ordered a cooked noodle dish. The cooked noodle dish turned up within minutes but I had to wait for over an hour for sushi! Apparently, they only have one sushi chef working at any one time (due to the limited space in the kitchen, apparently(!)). It just so happened that when the rest of the world was having lunch, the one sushi chef decided to take his lunch! Hence my wait for over an hour because I had to wait for his highness to finish his lunch break and to prepare my sushi! So my advice, ask in advance if you want to have sushi on a busy day, something like "is your sushi chef taking his lunch now?" - that should confound them!
The cooked noodles are also very yummy. My personal favourite is their Singapore rice noodle - not overly salty nor greasy. It also comes with a wedge of lime on the side for that added vitamin C! My husband has tried their yaki udon but has said it isn't as good as the Wagamama one but he did say it tasted more "home cooked" than the Wagamama version.
Regarding their soup noodles, I have found these quite bland in the past and only tried it once of twice. Their curry soup noodles is visually too much for me in that the shocking red soup puts me off from actually enjoying and tasting the noodles.
As in many of these noodle bars, there are no deserts (boo!).
Overall, very enjoyable experience and so long as you don't expect fine dining experience or food, then you're onto a winner. Service is also mediocre but never offensive. A typical bill for two with a drink usually comes to £15 with no service charge.

Tres Marias in Collegeby ememalberts (college life | confusion | dreams | friends)
I was overwhelmed how College is very past faced. Imagine, you'll take subjects like Organic Chemistry in a short period of a semester. In High School you take it for a whole school year and the vast time is still not enought for you to master everything.
Being a student studying a pre-med course, I was very lucky to have all passing scores in almost every subject. I can tell it is a very good start for a freshmen like me. I did well like how I did in my High School. I am not saying it's easy. It is really very difficult because your subjects need your 100% attention. I can say it's almost the same as High School. If you want to pass, you simply study. What makes college different is that it's the determiner of my future. Our future. Why does it sounds so serious?
Today I went home late because of our Chemistry tutorial. I grabbed the chance since it's free and I'm really enjoying taking Science subjects. While listening to the discussion, my mind bothered me with one question.
"Am I really in the right place?"
I always asked myself that question. Based on the situation, I was in the right place since my announced dream is to be a doctor. Of all pre-med courses I took BS Psychology because it's the only course that appealed to me the most. Another factor in choosing Psychology is that I am fond of interacting with people. I don't make a bunch of friends but I know how to adjust and "ride" with other people's interests and personality. Before going home, I am with people I never knew had the same problems like me.
First is my smart friend who asked us to eat at a fastfood. I didn't decline since it was a perfect time for bonding before our Prelims. I knew she was a Math enthusiast like me(I love Math :D) and being a valedictorian made her a scholar of our school. She said she really wanted to be an engineer. I myself being a math enthusiast understands her. I'm missing the hard core Math I'm used to do in my High School days. I noticed how she did well in our College Algebra subject while her other scores are not so okay. She feels really pressured since being a scholar requires a high maintaining grade.
My new friend who is also with us told us that she's really undecided yet. No, she's already decided it's only that she felt like she is not ready to face College yet. I asked her a lot of times if she likes our course, she said yes. I think she really does. Well, adjusting is really not that easy.
The three of us were surprised not knowing we share almost the same problems all this time.
And lastly – me. I love my course, I love Psychology. Actually I have no big problem except that another passion that keeps on bothering me. I love writing like how I love Psychology. I dream of becoming a "real" writer someday. I don't know why do I have this crazy dream. I was thinking of self-studying creative writing. Weirdo huh?
I hope to learn writing through reading articles, attending seminars and practicing my writing skills in school activities while pursuing my bachelor's degree. I also took blogging seriously as a baby step to my literary dream. I'm dreaming of the almost impossible since engaging in the publishing industry has a lot of competition. It's like engaging in a battle where I have no firearms since I'll be battling with people who are equipped with knowledge and talent. I don't even know if I have any one of those. What I know is that I have passion. Passion that brings me to confusion because my passion is divided into two things. It's like a torn-between-two-lovers thing. I'm torned between my childhood dream and my present dream. Hoho. I'm starting to think now that I'm really weird.
I'm thinking of giving up Psychology and taking up a BA course related to writing. When I think of doing it, I feel like I can't. Seriously, leaving Psychology won't be easy for me because it took me a lot of efforts and patience to be where I am today. After all, I'm slowly approaching my doctor dream…Oh God. Help me. I mean help us.

Get to know Erlang, the increasingly popular programming language widely known for its role in concurrency. In this in-depth video, Erlang experts Francesco Cesarini and Simon Thompson introduce you to the language with several examples that demonstrate Erlang in action.
Once you learn the basics, you'll dive into sequential programming, error handling, and support for concurrency. Then you'll discover how Erlang enables you to quickly and easily write massively concurrent, highly available systems with a fraction of the effort of conventional programming languages. A case study of a client-server application shows you how to put these ideas into practice.
Chapters include:
Francesco Cesarini is the founder and CTO of Erlang Training and Consulting http://www.erlang-consulting.com/. Having used Erlang on a daily basis since 1995, he started his career as an intern at Ericsson's computer science lab, the birth place of Erlang. He spent four years at Ericsson working with flagship Erlang projects, including the R1 release of the OTP middleware. He has taught Erlang/OTP to all parties involved in the software cycle, including developers, support engineers, testers as well as project and technical managers. In 2003, he also started teaching undergraduate students at the IT University of Gothenburg. Soon after Erlang was released as Open Source, he founded Erlang Training and Consulting. With offices in the UK, Sweden, Poland (and soon the US), they have become the world leaders an Erlang based consulting, contracting, support, training and systems development. Their client base is spread on five continents and ranges from small start-ups to blue chip companies. In his role as CTO, is currently leading the research, development and consulting teams. He is active in the Erlang community not only through regularly talks, seminars and tutorials at conferences worldwide, but also through his involvement in international research projects. He organises local Erlang user groups and with the help of his colleagues, runs the trapexit.org http://www.trapexit.org/ Erlang community website.

Simon Thompson is Professor of Logic and Computation in the Computing Laboratory of the University of Kent, where he has taught computing at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past twenty five years, and where he has been department head for the last six. His research work has centered on functional programming: program verification, type systems, and most recently development of software tools for functional programming languages. His team has built the HaRe tool for refactoring Haskell programs, and is currently developing Wrangler to do the same for Erlang. His research has been funded by various agencies including EPSRC and the European Framework programme. His training is as a mathematician: he has an MA in Mathematics from Cambridge and a D.Phil. in mathematical logic from Oxford. He has written three books in his field of interest; Type Theory and Functional Programming published in 1991; Miranda: The Craft of Functional Programming (1995) and Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (2nd ed. 1999).

Excellent Introduction to Erlang
By Anders
from Gothenburg, Sweden
About Me Designer, Developer, Systems Architect
Comments about oreilly Erlang by Example with Cesarini and Thompson:
Erlang By Example is an excellent introduction for Erlang novices who still have not gotten their head around functional and actor based programming or are struggling to do so. We used the videos to train staff who had read through Erlang Programming and Introducing Erlang. It was a perfect complement to both books, and helped push the understanding to the next level. This video is not for advanced users or users who are experts at other functional programming languages. In those cases, the books or online tutorials should be more than sufficient. This is clearly stated in the product description, but not picked up by some of the other reviewers!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

concise introduction

As a developer new to Erlang, I grep the basic with the video quickly. But the examples can be more advance. A little bit too simple for average developer.
Good Intro, Done Well.
By Korishev
from Dallas, TX
Cesarini and Thompson do a good job of bringing the viewer into a language that's more than just a little bit out of the main stream. Functional programming, sequential and concurrent tasks, and error handling are covered well without being too much all at once. Well done.
A very basic introduction to Erlang
By daveb
from Des Moines, IA
A very dry overview of basic Erlang syntax and usage. Not more than a very cursory overview. Fine to help someone decide if they really want to spend the money and effort of really learning to program in Erlang. Didn't use the visual medium well. Not much more effective than a powerpoint presentation of the subject would have been.Presenters seemed to be very knowledgeable. And the material shown was easy to follow.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for reviewing this video, and I'm sorry it didn't meet expectations. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if you would like a refund, you can find the details at http://oreilly.com/go/guarantee.You might be interested in the new book, which is currently available as an Early Release, Introducing Erlang (shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920025818.do ).

You can't watch in your Android device
By Joe the Dissappointed
from Denver, CO
About Me Unemployed
This rating is mainly about video quality, not video content.I tried many players/codec to watch this video, but wasn't able to play them. The only exception is Introduction.I opened a ticket in getsatisfaction, but so far couldn't get any meaningful answer about the problem.So, if you want watch the video in you Android device, it may not work.The video itself is not enough to learn Erlang. You'll need to buy another book and use the video as complementary.Video narration is a bit dry, academic.By the way this is my second attempt to post this review, somehow the first one didn't appear.

Great introduction into Erlang
By Chris
from Zurich, Switzerland
The video series will show you the basic syntax and use cases where Erlang shines compared to other languages. The speakers are clear and tell you about common traps you will encounter when coming from other languages.All in all the video series will make you want to dive deeper into Erlang. Why not start now?(Note: the speakers have written a comprehensive book on Erlang, check it out.)

Hey guys,
Long time no talk.
I recently got a job doing bank security. I haven't started yet but I'm almost 100% positive it's an unarmed position (they didn't require an Act 235). Anywho, do any of you know a good tuckable holster for a Glock 19? I'm thinking about the Comp-Tac "Shirt Tucker" but I'm open to more suggestions.
Thanks guys
P.S. Chris, Bud, how have you guys been?

Oh look, Ryan found time to explain how they plan to pay for all those tax breaks...
Turns out it's easy math!
"Today, he gave it another shot.
Ryan, interviewed in Iowa, said that the plan will go after tax deductions and said clearly that individuals making $150,000 per year will see a net tax cut.[...]
To accomplish this feat, Romney backs going after tax breaks "primarily" for upper-income individuals, Ryan said. "You can lower tax rates across the board by 20 percent, primarily limit your deductions from those at the top end, and then get rid of all those nook and cranny special-interest tax expenditures ... and you can do this without raising taxes on middle-class taxpayers. This actually lowers their taxes," he said.
I realize Ryan thinks this is supposed to be helpful and persuasive. It's not. So long as he refuses to specific which "nook and cranny special-interest tax expenditures" he intends to eliminate, this is still just hot air.
Worse, it's inaccurate hot air. Catherine Rampell reports today that, in 2015, the Romney-Ryan tax breaks would cost $251 billion per year for households with income above $200,000. Can that be financed through closing loopholes and eliminating deductions? No, it cannot -- the total number of available tax expenditures is $165 billion. Even if we assume the political will existed to eliminate all of them -- there's not, but just for the sake of conversation -- that would still leave a gap of $86 billion a year.
That would mean Romney/Ryan would be left with a choice: curtailing their tax cutting ambitions (which they've said they will not do) or raising taxes on the middle class (which they've also said they will not do).
As Kevin Drum summarized, Ryan is asking you to believe -$251 +$165 + 0 = 0.
Forget ideology, party, and philosophy, and just look at the arithmetic. If you think Paul Ryan is telling you the truth, you need a better calculator."

Kind of like the same specifics within Obamacare that everyone was given before our Democrat politicians shoved it down the throats of the American people.
It was a telling thing when Pelosi said "we will know whats in it after we pass it and it becomes law". Great governance!!
#26 Oct 3, 2012
Good point facts. Unfortunately it's just common knoledge that certain people just believe anything Obama says. I'm still waiting for him to keep one of the promises he made before he was elected.
#27 Oct 3, 2012
Hi Funny,
Good Luck with that!! I'm sure it will make the news and maybe even earn him another Nobel peace prize...after all, Obama is the darling of the mass media and others out in the world.
Before long, Obama will have a UN flag flying in place of our American flag.
#28 Oct 3, 2012
It was only discussed for more than a year, just because you stick your fingers in your ears and go la la la la la doesn't mean nobody else understands what is in it!

"Obamacare Summed Up in One Sentence"
From a video posted on YouTube that shows Dr. Barbara Bellar speaking at a Women for Romney/Ryan rally last month:
"So let me get this straight. This is a long sentence.
We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don't, which reportedly covers 10 million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman doesn't understand it, passed by Congress, that didn't read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke.
So what the blank could possibly go wrong?"
#30 Oct 3, 2012
ONE hard core righty rant is supposed to be proof of something about the HCA!
What a joke you are Factless, liar and a joke
#31 Oct 3, 2012
BTW extremists right wing ideolog
You very own Mother will still be covered by Medicare, without it, she'd be left to the open market because she would have been dumped by her insurer right after going through the Cancer treatment!
Obamacare as you like to call it, guarantees she could not be dumped after or declined coverage by another because she had pre-existing Cancer, god you're stupid!!!!!
#32 Oct 3, 2012
I noticed you didn't contradict the "right wing rant" with any proof, you just keep spouting your nonsense. I already told you asshole that Mom has coverage beyond Medicare and its a good thing because she would have to eat a very high percentage of it if the hospital doesn't keep her at leat 3 days...
Read the healthcare act and get back to me when you can prove your bullshit.
#33 Oct 3, 2012
The BS piece is full of right wing nutjob lies dummy, there are no 1600 IRS agents or any other scary things in it. Soooooo a lying rant deserves no response.
#34 Oct 4, 2012
Last nights debate was just a taste of the beating that Obama will have to endure for his failed policies and the damage he has done to our country.
All he had to say today was, "that wasn't Mitt Romney" in the debate. Well I beg to differ Mr. President...it was Mitt Romney and you have more in store for you.
I especially found it amusing when Obama stated there are tax loopholes that allow a company to move workers overseas. Mitt Romney stated clearly that there is no such thing, which just highlites Obama's ignorance for helping business put Americans back to work.
#35 Oct 5, 2012
Now Romney is claiming he was "wrong" when he made his 47% comment. I suppose you'll now say you were wrong for backing his statement, right Facts?
#36 Oct 5, 2012
If he is saying he was wrong by not being "Politically Correct", or because he spoke the truth, that is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than being wrong.
If the percentage is off by a few points, it doesn't change the truth in the message. Romney spoke the truth and people don't want the truth, they want some magic fix that isn't going to happen.
Obama and the mass media keeps feeding people bullshit about how to fix things, and it is only bullshit.
There are truths about our economics that we will have to face now or leave it to our future generations later, but they will have to be fixed.
United States
#37 Oct 5, 2012
Prior to Wednesday night's debate, traders at Intrade were giving Obama a 74% chance at reelection. Romney's chances to become leader of the free world were just 26%. Following the debate, though, those numbers changed to 66% versus 34% in favor of Obama.
#38 Oct 5, 2012
This is the reality of our current situation...
#39 Oct 8, 2012
"My expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some," Obama said.
If this is true, Obama should stop working for only the Unions... They have benefit the most from his administration. The rest of us? Not so much.
#40 Oct 9, 2012
The Moron NOT all the FACTS is at it again!
25 % of Corporations pay ZERO tax (Including GE which we taxpayers bailed out under Blithering Idiot BUSH's TARP) because of tax Loopholes.
The biggest Loophole is when Corporations move offshore- then they pay ZERO tax when offshore. They only have to pay taxes when they re-locate back to US. How may Corporations have relocated back?? NONE!
Even Halliburton (Cheney- can't shoot straight former CEO) re-located to an ARAB country to avoid taxes! The Right wing teabaggers want to pass a law that would FORGIVE taxes due if they return to US!! Heaven help us if they gain control of Senate!
What an AZZZZ you are!! Get your head out of Romney's AZZZ!
#42 Oct 11, 2012
Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable!
A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility." Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney: 1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief. 2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS. 3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet.(How boring is that?) 4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary. 5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School..and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed. 6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS! 8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn. 9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest. 10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans. My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?
#43 Oct 11, 2012

B.A. From Brigham Young University,
J.D. And M.B.A. From Harvard University
Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints
Working Background:
After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary.
After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan Bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.
In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity Investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States.
In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost To Ted Kennedy.
He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.
Some Interesting Facts about Romney:
Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store In Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.
Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds Of business miracles again and again, with companies Like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply and many others.
He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for His dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's Office for eight years.
He was an unpaid bishop and state president of His church for ten years.
He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years.
He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.
He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.
Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men In our country but has given more back to its citizens In terms of money, service and time than most men.
And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.
Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:
He will show us his birth certificate
He will show us his high school and college transcripts.
He will show us his social security card.
He will show us his law degree.
He will show us his draft notice.
He will show us his medical records.
He will show us his income tax records.
He will show us he has nothing to hide.
Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States.
You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it. But, on the minus side, he never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the U.S. IF THIS ISN'T WORTH SENDING TO EVERYONE THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS !
#44 Oct 11, 2012
It is incredible that Obama could even be compared to Romney, but we have so many people in our country looking for handouts, they wouldn't think of hiring Romney.

Citation: Hunter, W.B., Bextine, B.R., Shatters, R.G., Hall, D.G. 2010. RNAi and emerging psyllid genomes - increasing the number of genetic targets [abstract]. National Citrus Research Coordination Symposium. June 16-18, 2010, Denver, Colorado. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Genomics has changed the strategies used to manage insects and diseases. The ability to effect a change in proteins and transcripts through RNA-interference (RNAi) has produced a rush towards the development of the most state-of-the-art pest suppression strategy available. To rapidly advance these efforts, we established the International Psyllid Genome Consortium to bring together researchers interested in psyllid genomics. The first psyllid species being sequenced is the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri, first draft DIACI_v1.0, being led by Wayne Hunter, with Robert Shatters and David Hall, of the USDA, Subtropical Research Insects Unit, Ft. Pierce, FL. The second psyllid species planned for sequencing is the potato psyllid, Bacterocera cockerelli, being led by Dr. Bextine, University of Texas at Tyler, all together forming the main working group with other members involved listed at "The International Psyllid Genome Consortium" working group: http://www.uttyler.edu/ psyllidgenomics/Home.html ; data on the Psyllid genome NCBI homepage: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=genomeprj&cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=29473. The genome from D. citri will act as the reference genome for future sequencing projects, and will provide the transcriptome and a gene list of predicted genes. Sequencing of the D. citri genome is anticipated to be completed by August 2010. With this information the research community will be able to work in full light of specific genes of interest. Combining this with research on RNAi delivery, construction and development, we propose that specific psyllid transcripts can be used to reduce and suppress psyllids within an area-wide program using RNAi strategies.

Choose Between Two Options
- $75 for one chemical peel (a $120 value) with one microdermabrasion (a $90 value; a $210 total value)
- $135 for two chemical peels, each with one microdermabrasion (a $420 total value)
After receiving their gentle exfoliating chemical peels—which helps refresh skin for a more youthful appearance with no recovery time—clients come back three weeks later for their microdermabrasion treatments, which gently exfoliates skin using a controlled stream of natural mineral crystals, fading blemishes and encouraging skin cells to regenerate.

a bit more information would be useful for those trying to help.
for example how you are trying to boot backtrack?
is from a cd or a usb?
or is it a hard drive installation you cant get to boot?
At what stage does the boot fail?
the more information you can give the more useful the replies will be!
