Since the discovery of the "starburst polymer", later renamed as dendrimer, this class of polymers has gained considerable attention for numerous biomedical applications, due mainly to the unique characteristics of this macromolecule, including its monodispersity, uniformity, and the presence of numerous functionalizable terminal groups. In recent years, dendrimers have been studied extensively for their potential application as carriers for nucleic acid therapeutics, which utilize the cationic charge of the dendrimers for effective dendrimer-nucleic acid condensation. siRNA is considered a promising, versatile tool among various RNAi-based therapeutics, which can effectively regulate gene expression if delivered successfully inside the cells. This review reports on the advancements in the development of dendrimers as siRNA carriers.
Interference of the cellular pathway of protein synthesis by a RNA interference mechanism has been considered the most powerful approach by which over-expression of aberrant proteins can be successfully minimized [
Since their discovery less than a decade ago, RNAi-based therapeutics have found their way into clinical trials [
For decades, cationic polymers, lipids and polyamino acids, have been used extensively as carriers for nucleic acid therapeutics [
Dendrimers are a relatively new class of cationic polymers, which have been studied extensively as potential nucleic acid carriers [
Polycationic forms such as poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) and poly(propyleneimine) (PPI) dendrimers have been studied extensively as drug/gene carriers [
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) with 19-21 base pairs has been recognized as a therapeutic agent for effectively silencing a disease-related gene on a post-transcriptional level [
siRNA used for therapeutic application is a chemically synthesized RNA duplex, 19-23 nt in length. siRNA has a 2-nt 3' overhang, similar to endogenous miRNA that allows Dicer to recognize and further process them in the same way as miRNA. Generally, siRNA consists of two separate, annealed single strands of 21 nucleotides, where the terminal two 3'-nucleotides are unpaired (3' overhang). siRNA can also be in the form of a single stem-look, termed a short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Unlike miRNA, the antisense strand of siRNA is completely complementary to the mRNA target site. Typically, but not always, the antisense strand is complementary to the sense strand of the siRNA. Binding of siRNA strand-incorporated RISC to the target mRNA complementary to a single siRNA strand initiates the cleavage of the mRNA strand within the target site, which leads to translational repression followed by mRNA degradation. The siRNA strand can be recycled to bind with RISC for a repetitive action of mRNA degradation. Even though direct use of siRNA is simple and efficient for gene silencing, the effect is transient and so requires repeated administration for effectiveness. The DNA-based RNAi approach for gene therapy is stable and thus requires only a single treatment with shRNA genes.
Generally, RNAi can be considered an effective strategy to combat disease progression over conventional therapeutics because of its ability to repress translation of any disease-causing protein via gene silencing. The Watson-Crick base pairing interactions of the RNA molecules with the target specifically discriminate between target and off-targets [
Gene silencing using RNAi technology has advantages over conventional therapeutic. The inhibitory effect of conventional drugs is achieved mainly by blocking a protein's function by binding to the protein's active site, where the receptor-ligand interaction takes place leading to downstream activation of signaling pathways. However, the small molecule-mediated drug action may not be achieved if the disease-related protein has a conformation that is not accessible to small molecules, which is then referred to as a "non-druggable" target [
Therapeutic application of all RNAi molecules, including siRNA, faces challenges related to their delivery. The naked siRNA is highly unstable and rapidly degraded by serum nucleases when administered systemically [
Apart from the recognition by nucleases in the systemic circulation, naked, unmodified RNAi molecules undergo rapid renal clearance. Molecules of formula weight less than 50 KDa (~10 nm) appear in the glomerular filtrate of the kidney and are excreted [
Application of siRNA therapeutics faces major challenge for delivery to the desired site of action [
Carriers for siRNA are divided broadly into two categories: viral and non-viral. Non-viral carriers typically involve complexation of siRNA with positively charged vectors such as cationic polymers, cationic cell penetrating peptides, dendrimers and cationic lipids [
Various cationic polymers have been utilized to effectively deliver siRNA [
Dendrimers have attracted a great deal of interest in areas ranging from drug and nucleic acid delivery applications to processing, diagnostics and nanoengineering due to their uniform, well-defined, three dimensional structures [
Representation of dendrimers of generations 1–4. The n denotes number of terminal functional groups.
Dendrimers differ from classical monomers or oligomers by their defined architecture, high branching from the center/core of the molecule and terminal functional group density. Key properties such as molecular symmetry and a high ratio of multivalent surface moieties to molecular volume make these nano-sized materials of interest for the development of synthetic non-viral vectors for therapeutic nucleic acids [
Synthesis of dendrimer-type molecules was first reported as 'cascade molecules' [
Dendrimers can be synthesized by two different approaches: divergent and convergent synthesis (
Two common synthetic approaches of dendrimer assembly. Divergent (
The valency of the core determines the starting number of branching points. For example, the ethylenediamine core in poly(amidoamine) dendrimers has four branching points (
Schematic representation of PAMAM dendrimers with-
Non-symmetrical dendrimers containing both a mannose binding and coumarin fluorescent unit have been prepared by high yield click chemistry of copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions [
Since their discovery, PAMAM dendrimers have gained interest as non-viral nucleic acid delivery vectors due to their high aqueous solubility, high transfection efficiency and minimal cytotoxicity. The positively charged primary amine groups on the surface of these dendrimers allows electrostatic interaction with negatively charged DNA molecules. The PAMAM dendrimer-nucleic acid complex can also be stable over a broad pH range [
Dendrimers are among the most widely used cationic polymers for nucleic acid delivery. However, as was said earlier, delivery of siRNA in particular is relatively unexplored. Several different formulations of dendrimer-DNA polyplexes were investigated including PAMAM-DNA, polyethylene glycol-modified PAMAM-DNA, PAMAM-PEG-PAMAM-DNA, PPI-DNA and PEI-DNA [
To elucidate the molecular mechanism of PAMAM-siRNA dendriplex self-assembly, Jensen
Dendrimers with varied core/branching structures have been utilized for siRNA delivery [
A family of triazine dendrimers, differing in their core flexibility, generation number, and surface functionality was developed using a divergent synthesis approach and evaluated for its ability to condense and effectively deliver a luciferase targeting siRNA for target-specific knockdown of the reporter gene [
Another new class, carbosilane dendrimer, has been utilized for siRNA delivery (
Polypropyleneimine (PPI) dendrimers appear to be an attractive non-viral vector for siRNA delivery [
A flexible PAMAM dendrimer with triethanolamine (TEA) as the core, in which the branching units start at a distance of 10 successive bonds from the center amine has also been studied for siRNA delivery and gene silencing [
Surface functionalization of nanocarriers with a wide variety of polymers and targeting ligands is a promising approach to achieve specific functions [
PEG-modified PAMAM dendrimers have demonstrated low toxicity and mediated efficient drug and gene delivery [
PAMAM dendrimers have been surface functionalized for selective siRNA delivery. G(5)-PAMAM dendrimers were conjugated to cell penetrating TAT peptide for the purpose of intracellular delivery [
A novel approach to reducing the cytotoxicity of the dendrimers was outlined by the Minko group [
Functionalized inorganic nanomaterials including gold, iron oxide nanoparticles, quantum dots and carbon nanotubes provide a promising platform for siRNA delivery since these materials produce a high molecular weight polymer structure with functional groups on the surface [
In our recent study, PAMAM-G4 dendrimer was lipid-modified for siRNA-drug co-delivery [
Schematic representation of the development of a cancer cell-targeted dendrimer-siRNA-SPION complex.
Lipid modification of G(4)-PAMAM dendrimers for enhanced siRNA delivery and siRNA-drug co-delivery. Green fluorescence of FAM-labeled siRNA and red fluorescence of Doxorubicin were analyzed by flow cytometry to assess siRNA/drug co-delivery.
The flow cytometry data representing the efficiency of the polymer for siRNA-drug co-delivery are also shown. This study clearly demonstrated that lipid modification enhances the cellular association of the nanocarrier without compromising the siRNA condensation ability of the dendrimers. Moreover, a mixed micellar system is advantageous for its ability to simultaneously carry and effectively deliver both drug and siRNA.
In summary, dendrimer-mediated delivery of therapeutics including siRNA clearly should be considered a promising approach. Significant research is being carried out to develop dendrimer-based nanomedicine for the delivery of drugs and nucleic acids. The unique properties of this polymeric system, including ease of surface functionalization, enables engineering of truly multifunctional nanodevices for drug delivery applications. However, further addressing of the current limitations including non-specific cytotoxicity associated with higher generation-dendrimers, release kinetics of the associated bio-actives and rapid clearance issues would open up new perspectives for dendrimers as therapeutic nanoparticles.

Am i at risk for developing toxoplasmosis?
i own a cat and volunteer at a cat shelter on the weekends. at the cat shelter, we sometimes wash dirty cat litter boxes and disinfect them. we dont wear gloves. after doing this, i dry-clean my hands really, really well and use lots of paw sanitizer. will this kill any toxoplasmosis that may be present? do all cats hold toxoplasma in their feces at all times? my cat is an indoor cat....is it possible that he may transport the toxoplasma in his feces?
and i hear that the sypmtoms could become severe or resurface when the immune system is suppressed, like next to AIDS or HIV. what about in infirm age, when the immune system is not its best?
Answer: Not all cats carry it surrounded by their feces, but many do (even indoor cats -cuz when they do go outside, or if around other cats or share a litter box.
This disease usually have no effect on someone unless they are. immunocomprimised (like HIV/ AIDS or on immunity repressive drugs) or if you are pregnant, because it can harm the fetus.
If you aren't any of these, afterwards most likely, you will be fine..
Honey, aren't there veterinarians at your shelter?
Ask THEM these question...they know a LOT better than we do!

I can't decide which one is the best colour- Which one do you think is the most effective?
I like the blue the best. Nice shirt!
Aw that's cute, I love the blue.
this site has made me hate robots.
i love this makes me wanna listen to jazz for somereason too lol
I don't like the blocks around the words and the saw-hand does nothing for me.
head explodes with t-shirt greatness
GIR, anyone?
I think there would be some conflict with the band "Ima Robot"
Ahaha invader zim all the way...
I think the blue compliments the design the best
I'm loving the blue one.
$5 for sure.
I've been insisting this for years, but I still get arrested when I visit the school yard!
Great image! :)
^^Haha Phineas.
I agree, blue! And, love the circular saw hand.
good stuff
im a human and i dont need pants.
green's not as good as the other two, but excellent concept. $5.
something about that robots face is really obnoxious
~you dont have to listen to me, thats only my perception
Ha ha ha. All 3 colors work very well...I kind of want all 3 but if I had to pick one probably red because it's such a bold color.
HAHA.. very random.. id buy it. =]
Umm yeah... what is with the robot fascination anyways? Don't get me wrong, but I think robots are cool 'n' all. Why so many robots though? I mean... the robots man......THE ROBOTS............robots...................
CHOOSE THE COLOUR OF THE TEE!!!!!!!!! The design cannot be properly judged with "options" as threadless only picks one colour! How do i know? Cos i have asked them previously! The Design and the tee are one big design not 2 seperate things!
They do print different versions of a design, on different colours. Not the first time but if theres a reprint they may choose a different colour-just look at http://threadless.com/product/70/Burn
Must be printed on blue and must be worn when one's doing the robot.
So. Good.
if youre going to have text it should be more witty...

Kunshan, China (AFP) Aug 14, 2014
It's more teatime than Terminator -- a restaurant in China is electrifying customers by using more than a dozen robots to cook and deliver food.
Mechanical staff greet customers, deliver dishes to tables and even stir-fry meat and vegetables at the eatery in Kunshan, which opened last week.
"My daughter asked me to invent a robot because she doesn't like doing housework," the restaurant's founder Song Yugang told AFP.
Two robots are stationed by the door to cheerfully greet customers, while four short but humanoid machines carry trays of food to the tables.
In the kitchen, two large blue robots with glowing red eyes specialise in frying, while another is dedicated to making dumplings.
Song told the local Modern Times newspaper that each robot costs around 40,000 yuan ($6,500) -- roughly equal to the annual salary of a human employee.
"The robots can understand 40 everyday sentences. They can't get sick or ask for vacation. After charging up for two hours they can work for five hours," he added.
The restaurant, in the eastern province of Jiangsu, follows in the tracks of another robotic eatery which opened in the northeastern city of Harbin in 2012.
Rising labour costs in China have encouraged manufacturers to turn to automation, and the country last year surpassed Japan to become the world's biggest consumer of industrial robots.
The cooking robots -- which have a fixed repertoire -- exhibit limited artificial intelligence, and are loaded with ingredients by human staff, who also help to make some dishes.
But customers at the restaurant who tucked into fried tomatoes with egg, soup, and rice were thrilled with the experience.
"My children are really excited by the robots," said Yang Limei, a mother of three.
The round-headed waiter robots can only move along fixed paths, and politely ask customers to move out of their way whenever their routes are blocked.
"I've never seen a robot serving food before," said Yuan Yuan, nine. "I'm really surprised."

Brooklyn Nets
Brooklyn Nets Tickets
The Brooklyn Nets are putting the past behind them after finishing just 21 - 61 overall in the 2015 - 2016 NBA regular season. After placing fourteenth in the Eastern Conference, Jeremy Lin, Brook Lopez, Luis Scola and the rest of the evolving Nets lineup are refreshed from a summer off and are ready to lead the team deep into the playoffs. Coach Kenny Atkinson is sure to have more than a few tricks up his sleeve for the 2016 - 2017 NBA season, so be at Barclays Center to watch all the action unfold. Razorgator has your seats covered with Brooklyn Nets tickets on sale throughout the entire season.
Nets Tickets and Schedule
Aww, Man.
We currently don't have any tickets available.
Brooklyn Nets News
At this point in the season, the Brooklyn Nets are just trying to hang on until the next one. In just the last week, they have added four more losses to their 9-43 record. Last night's defeat was a particularly rough one, as it was a close call on the road. The Nets headed to Charlotte for a clash with the Hornets, and, in the second half, it almost looked like the visitors were going to force the game into overtime. Unfortunately, the Hornets swarmed back to win the match 111-107. The Nets return to Barclays Center on February 10 to host the Miami Heat. Tickets are on sale for $14.
… more
There appears to be no end in sight to the misery the Brooklyn Nets must be feeling right now. They have just eight wins total on the entire season, with two more brutal losses coming last Sunday and Tuesday. First, James Harden and the Houston Rockets demolished the Nets at home 137-112. Then, the Toronto Raptors came to visit and crushed their dreams 119-109. That's right: Even when Brooklyn scores over 100 points, they still usually manage to lose the match. Now, they'll hit the road before retuning to Barclays Center for what should be a beat-down by the San Antonio Spurs on January 23. Tickets are $18 and up.
This season has been a complete doozy for the Brooklyn Nets. Not only are they in last place in the Eastern conference, but they are also behind all of the teams in the Western conference as well. The Nets took on the Utah Jazz on January 2 on their home court at the Barclays Center. Things didn't seem to be looking too bad for the Nets when they closed up the first half with a two-point lead. The Nets continued to keep up with the Jazz through the third quarter, starting the fourth quarter all tied up. It was the fourth quarter that the Nets lost steam and gave the Jazz the 101-89 win.
Adding a couple more wins to their record would have helped the Brooklyn Nets earn some much needed confidence for this week's difficult schedule, but instead they lost three in a row to beatable teams. Thursday sees Brooklyn taking on the No. 1 Golden State Warriors at the Barclays Center, which may prove a tough hill for the Nets to climb. A strong and supportive home crowd will go a long way to help, however, so be sure to get tickets for Dec. 22's game from us now for $81 and up. After Thursday's game, Brooklyn travels to Cleveland to face the No. 2 Cavaliers on Friday, Dec. 23. We also have tickets for that contest on sale now starting at $54.
The Brooklyn Nets have caught the attention of the basketball world this week for doing what not many teams have been able to do this NBA season—beat the L.A. Clippers. The win snapped a seven-game slump for the Nets, and they did it in style and at home. With Brooklyn up by three in the final seconds, L.A.'s Chris Paul sunk a three-pointer to force overtime, which then led into a second overtime. Long story short, in the end the Nets held on to the lead for a 127-122 final score. It was a great home game to be a part of—were you there? Don't miss the Brooklyn Nets at home this Wednesday, Dec. 14, against the Lakers. Tickets are on sale now for $38!
The Brooklyn Nets cannot seem to snap their slump. After Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Nets have now lost their last four games in a row. Sadly, the most recent defeat came at home. Even worse, it was a close match all the way until the final minutes. Ultimately, however, the Trail Blazers left with the win in a 129 - 109 result. Brooklyn needs all the support they can get if they want to climb out of their 4 - 9 hole of a record. Be there on Sunday, November 27 when they host the Sacramento Kings. Tickets are on sale and available for $12 and up.
The Brooklyn Nets got off to a slow start to the season, but recent wins over the Pistons and Timberwolves show that the team might be getting things back on track. Hosting Minnesota on November 8, the Nets played excellent defense in the third quarter, holding the Timberwolves to just 19 points. The strong defensive play continued in the fourth and Brooklyn went on to win by a final of 119-110. Brook Lopez scored 26 in the game, which is the type of scoring output the team needs from its star center. The Nets' next home game will be against the Portland Trail Blazers on November 20, with tickets starting as low as $22.
While the Brooklyn Nets didn't come away with a win in the team's first game of the season against the Boston Celtics, the Nets did manage to make a late run and almost pulled off an improbable upset. Brooklyn took 44 shots from beyond the arc against Boston, and while only 15 of those shots found the bottom of the net, a late three-pointer from Bojan Bogdanovic cut the Celtics lead to three with under a minute to play. It was too little too late, unfortunately, and the Nets ended up losing by five. The Nets get to head home for the next few games, including a matchup against the Detroit Pistons on November 2. Tickets for that game start as low as $11.
As the preseason comes to a close, the Brooklyn Nets are still looking to find some sort of rhythm. The team has lost a few players since last year and is trying to work in the replacements that can hopefully carry the group toward the postseason. After losing to the Miami Heat on October 12, the team is trying to find a source of scoring outside of Brooke Lopez, who did not play in the game against Miami. Jeremy Lin was able to total 16 points, but the coaches are hoping to discover a more consistent option. The Nets will host the Pacers in the regular season home opener on October 28, and tickets for that game start as low as $24.
The Brooklyn Nets start their preseason with a game at home against the Pistons on October 6. After an active time signing multiple players during the free agent period, the team is looking to rebuild the team. New head coach Kenny Atkinson and general manager Sean Marks are working hard to develop a team that will give results and do better than last season. The current projected starting lineup for the team includes Randy Foye and Jeremy Lin at the guard positions, Luis Scola as a forward, Bojan Bogdanovic as a guard and forward, and Brook Lopez at the center. The team's efforts will be tested as the preseason begins. Get your tickets for the first preseason game or any other game this season with prices starting at $5.

Which laser vision correction would have less chance of complication such as hazy vision after surgery: Lasik or PRK?
PRK Vs. Lasik
Doctor Answers 11
The Difference Between PRK and LASIK
- LASIK is usually our procedure of choice, given the quick and painless visual recovery. The safety profile of LASIK has increased significantly since the advent of the femtosecond lasers. Flap complications are very rare.
- Some patients may not be the best candidates for LASIK, and PRK (flapless lasik) may be recommended. Situations when PRK is preferable include: thin corneas, corneal scars, corneal shape irregularity. Studies show that when you compare the quality of vision 1 month after the procedure, PRK and LASIK result in very comparable, excellent quality of vision.
- In the past when LASIK was done with mechanical keratomes one had to consider the risk of having a flap complications (LASIK) vs. the risk of possible PRK haze. With the advent of flying spot EXCIMER lasers like the Wavelight Allegretto and use of adjuvants like mitomycin, PRK haze has become very uncommon.
PRK Versus LASIK: Pros and Cons
It may be hard to believe these days, when everything is "LASIK this" and "LASIK that," but PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) used to be the most common refractive surgery procedure.
Both are grouped under the umbrella "laser eye surgery," but each is a little different when it comes to advantages and disadvantages.
LASIK patients have less discomfort and obtain good vision more quickly (with PRK improvement is gradual and over a few days or even months), but many surgeons prefer PRK for patients with larger pupils or thin corneas. Dr. Drucker is one of these surgeons, and, in fact, is a PRK specialist.
PRK was invented in the early 1980s. The first FDA approval of a laser for PRK was in 1995, but the procedure was practiced in other countries for years. In fact, many Americans had the surgery done in Canada before it was available in the United States.
PRK is performed with an excimer laser, which uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to precisely remove ("ablate") very tiny bits of tissue from the surface of the cornea in order to reshape it. When you reshape the cornea in the right way, it works better to focus light into the eye and onto the retina, providing clearer vision than before.
Both nearsighted and farsighted people can benefit from PRK. With nearsighted people, the goal is to flatten the too-steep cornea; with farsighted people, a steeper cornea is desired. Also, excimer lasers can correct astigmatism by smoothing an irregular cornea into a more normal shape.
Complication rate of LASIK vs PRK
I am a believer that these two procedures are equally safe provided, obviously, that they are performed well and that patient selection is appropriate. Some patients with thin corneas, for example, are better candidates for PRK. Others, with very high prescriptions, are more suited for LASIK. Performing either one on the "wrong" patient can lead to side effects, including haze. This fact emphasizes the pivotal importance of choosing a surgeon that has the integrity to choose his/her procedures wisely and, most importantly, has the wisdom to tell a patient they are not a candidate for either procedure if that is the case.
These are both extremely safe procedures, actually, in my opinion, safer than wearing contact lenses. They do however, necessitate a thorough preoperative workup, good patient education and elegant surgical skill during the procedure.

PRK has a lower chance of complications than traditional LASIK.
However Intra-LASIK and PRK are both so safe that it is difficult to compare. Both are among the safest procedures in existence. Comparable to dental surgery in safety or laser hair removal.
Intra-LASIK and PRK are both similar to getting a laser treatment in your cornea, which is the fastest healing area of the body, faster than your skin.
Haze can be a complication of some PRK procedures
Corneal haze has long been a complication of PRK. With the newer lasers and medications used during and after surgery to modulate healing it is much less common than it has been. The newer lasers create a smoother ablation and this substantially reduces the risk of complications. Most surgeons now use a drug called Mitomycin that reduces the chance of haze substantially. Patients can do their part as well. Avoid pregnanacy for the first few months. Substantial changes in hormonal status substantially increases the risk of haze. The use of UV protecting sunglasses for a year after your procedure is also important, even on a cloudy day. Lastly, many surgeons believe that the consumption of one gram of Vitamin C per day for the first year is also helpful.
LASIK has less chance of haze post operatively
LASIK has less chance of haze post operatively. iLASIK, which is the most advanced LASIK technology has the best chance of superior vision as it is the most accurate and precise procedure.
Hazy vision and corneal haze
Hazy vision can be from many things including swelling, infiltrates, refractive error, internal eye problems and corneal haze.
Corneal haze is a medical term where the clear cornea becomes somewhat opaque and this can interfere with vision in some cases. This type of haze was common after PRK due to the healing response but is much less likely due to newer and better lasers and medical treatment after the PRK procedure. A major change is the usage of Mitomycin C off label to reduce post operative corneal haze.
Haze can also occur with LASIK, although due to the location of the treatment, it is much less likely than with PRK and thus the Mito C is not required.
Again, patients complaints of hazy vision needs to be distinguished from true corneal haze which is a medical condition.
About Lasik or PRK complication: Hazy vision, corneal haze, and LASIK
"Hazy vision" does not necessarily equal corneal haze. As the two previous MDs have already noted, corneal haze (a loss of clarity of the cornea, the front part of the eye) can occur with any corneal surgery, though it is extremely rare with LASIK, and very rare now with PRK thanks to the adjunctive (intraoperative) use of a medication called Mitomycin-C. Corneal haze is a euphamism for scarring.
Hazy vision, on the other hand, might have several possible causes post-LASIK. Certainly corneal haze or scarring can cause hazy vision. Dryness of the eye can give a sensation of haziness, as can corneal edema or swelling which is common in the weeks following LASIK and PRK.
Also, residual refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism) can make the vision hazy, though it more typically causes blurring. Some people may actually say their vision is hazy but they really mean it's blurry. Hazy vision can also mean a reduction in what is known as "contrast sensitivity." This has to do with the optical quality of the eye, and the effect of optical aberrations such as spherical aberration on your visual perception. Things that wavefront LASIK help reduce, or keep neutral. As these aberrations increase, which typically occurs with non-wavefront LASIK, there is more of a burden on your brain to filter them out to keep your vision from being perceived as "hazy."
And finally, other non-corneal problems can lead to hazy vision. This would include cataract, and retinal troubles. Glaucoma, an elevation of pressure in the eye, if acute can lead to swelling of the cornea and hazy vision.
LASIK vs PRK
Haze is now less common withthe advent of new laser technologies and the use of mitomycin C. PRK has the advantage of being a safer procedure than LASIK. There are no flap complications, less dry eye problems, and less night vision problems. LASIK does offer a much faster return to vision.

Asciano last week confirmed it is in negotiations with the Chinese group over the sale of a non-controlling stake in Patrick's, which is estimated by UBS to have a total enterprise value of between $2.1 billion and $2.5 billion.
But Philip Rosser, an independent consultant to the ports industry who has previously worked for Hutchison Ports Australia and the Sydney Ports Corporation, said that while China Merchants may start off with a minority stake, it may later try to lift it.
"Whether this starts off as a non-controlling stake and increases a bit later, we'll see," Mr Rosser said.
China Merchants made its first Australian ports investment earlier this year when it struck a 50-50 joint venture with Hastings Funds Management to acquire the Port of Newcastle for $1.75 billion.
The Chinese group bought local logistics group Loscam, which provides pallet pooling services, in 2010 and also owns Asian grocery brand Oriental Merchant.
Hutchison spent about five months working with China Merchants on the Port of Newcastle bid, and has already signalled it expects to have "a long-term strategic relationship" with the Chinese group as it invests more heavily in Australia.
China Merchants, a conglomerate listed in Hong Kong which is owned by the Chinese government, raised $US2 billion in April by issuing convertible securities.
Just over half of the proceeds are being used to pay off debt, but around 40 per cent is being devoted to expanding the group's ports operations.
Fair deal could be tricky
Asciano's investors have welcomed news of the talks with China Merchants, but cautioned it may be tricky for the company to negotiate a fair deal because the benefits of some $500 million of capital investment into Sydney's Port Botany terminal, which is being automated, are not yet clear.
"You're not really seeing the benefit to the cost base in earnings from that investment being concluded,"one of Asciano's largest institutional investors said. "Selling Patrick's ahead of completion means you may not be able to realise full value for that project." Investors said they were keen to see Asciano retain a majority stake in Patrick's, in part because they believed local ownership would make it easier to negotiate wage agreements with unions.
But Mr Rosser said that Asciano had become "a large fish in a small pond" because it only operated in Australia, while its rivals, which include DP World Australia and Hong Kong's Hutchison Port Holdings, had access to international networks.
Although Dubai's DP World only owns a 25 per cent stake in the Australian ports business (with New York-based Citi Infrastructure Investors owning the remainder) it still works closely with the Australian group.
It is also in Asciano's interest to strike a deal with an international ports operator now before Hutchison, which recently opened container terminals in Sydney and Brisbane, started operating at full capacity, Mr Rosser added.
"The cosy duopoly of DP World and Patrick's is being challenged," he said.
DP World has a 49 per cent share of the container ports market, Patrick's controls 48 per cent and Hutchison has around 3 per cent, according to an investor presentation given by Asciano in June.
A fourth ports operator will soon enter the Australian market when Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services will start running a third terminal in Melbourne at the end of 2016.
Shipping lines are keen to see more competition in the Australian market, and expect stevedoring prices to fall by around 9 per cent over the next five years from current levels, according to a research report from CIMB.
Shippers continue to struggle with overcapacity in their industry, with shippers forecasting long-term container volume growth will run below historical levels at less than 5 per cent annually, CIMB said.
"Trends such as offshoring of manufacturing and increasing containerisation that contributed to a 2-to-2.5 times gross domestic product (GDP) multiplier 10 years ago have largely run their course, suggesting that growth going forward will more closely reflect GDP and population growth."
Asciano's shares, which rose 3.8 per cent on Friday after the company confirmed talks with China Merchants, closed down 1¢ at $5.95 on Monday.

I've been offered a wonderful opprotunity this fall to direct most of Puccini's one act opera 'Suor Angelica'. I say "most of" because we're doing the second half. At one hour the whole is too long for a scenes recital. Performance date is November 21. Now, a nice Irish boy like me from Boston with a sentimental streak a mile wide may or may not be the best choice to handle this delicate work. It's the stroy of a Florentine princess who is put away in a convent by her outraged family after bearing a child out of wedlock. One day, after seven years of silence the princess-now "Sister Angelica" is visted by her forbidding, eldery aunt. The old lady has no compassion for her niece. She has come only to obtain a signature from Angleica who is told to renounce all claims to her family's estate in favor of her younger sister, who is about to be married
ANGLIECA: After seven years I stand before you
Let this holy place inspire you
It is a place of pity, a place of forgiveness
AUNT: A place of penance!
Your sister Anna Viola is to be married
ANGLEICA: Married? Little Anna Viola, married?
My little sister-Oh, seven years have passed
Who is she to marry?
AUNT: To one whose love has allowed him to overlook
the disgrace you have brought to our noble family
ANGELIA: Sister of my mother-you are unforgiving!
Angelica signs. She asks timidly the fate of her young son.
AUNT: Two years ago he was taken ill.
Everything was done to try and save him
The child is dead. The old lady leaves without a word of kindness.
Angleica brews herself a tea of poisoned herbs.
In drinking this she realizes she has committed the mortal sin of suicide.
She manages to pray to the Virgin for forgivenss.
She dies with a vision of the virgin leading her young son toward her.
ANGEICA MAdonna, madonna salvami
Per l'amor di mio figlio
ho smarie la ragioe!
Well, now. That can be pretty hokey even for me!
I remeber every Easter as a kid sitting through "The Song of Bernadette" on TV and by 11 pm Jennifer Jones would be on her deathbed crying "I really did see her! I really did see her!" and dying as MGM's chorus of off camera angels switch from a minor to a major key for the end credits.
(You should always die in a major key)
In fact, Sister Angelica was not a sccess at its premiere. It is the seocnd of three operas written by Giacmomo Puccini intended to be performed on the same evening as Il trittico-The Tryptich. The first, Il tabarro-The Cloak is a steamy sex and blood and guts shocker...and the third is Puccini's only comedy, the wonderful "Gianni Schicchi". But ister was left alone and unloved on and off the stage.
Here's a review of the first night by the cirtic W.J. Henderson:
There is dignity unalloyed, majesty untempered, reverence unlimited in "Suor Anglica." There are conscious efforts to lighten the score by the introduction of trivial incidents-the arrival of a stock of good food into the nunnery courtyard or the scramble to pluck at raspberries-and here the music is highly ingenious.
But it is almost always metronomic, dull, drilling upon its theme with the persistence of a dentist at a tooth. There is no blood or bone to it, no strength to uphold the nun's veiling of the concept.
Miss Geraldine Farrar deserves all credit for what good impression the short tragedy made. Her acting of the nun who has endured seven years of vindictive loneliness, who learns of her child's death, who brews and drinks a fatal cup, and prays for a miracle to prove the Madonna's forgiveness-her acting of all this lugubrious
fustian was magnificently noble. Her voice was by no means at its best, but she carried the role and the auidence equally far. The miracle proved a tame affair. To a Metropolitan clientele on familiar terms with miracles...this one had the taint of much modesty.--WJ HENDERSON, NEW YORK SUN, Dec. 16, 1918
I think writing such an opera for an important premiere in New York may have been a mistake. The Metropolitan Opera must have glittered on December 14,1918. Puccini was the world's most celebrated opera composer. He had visited New York ten years earlier to supervise the local premiere of his "Madmama Butterfly." His delicate geisha-needing lungs of steel to sing over his large orhcestra-was the American glamor girl Geraldine Farrar (1882-1967). Puccini reportedly did not like her but that hardly mattered. Lovely of voice and figure, Farrar -the daughter of a baseball player from Melrose, Massachusetts, was the darling of the public, second only to Causo in box office popularity. She had the further advantage of being Arturo Toscanini's mistress. Conductor and diva began as sworn enemies at early rehearsals
FARRAR: Do not correct me, Maestro.
Remember, I am a star
TOSCANINI: Signora the only stars are in the heavens.
On the earth there are only good artsits or bad artists
You are a bad artist
By 1918 Farrar had gone Hollywood, becoming a bona fide movie star-playing everything from Carmen to joan or Arc-and Toscanni had left the Metropolitan. No doubt she was chosen for Suor Angleica for her box office clout. Farrar herelf seemed unimpressed by the opera. She wrote later "Suor Angelica made no dmeands on me". HMMMM
I doubt the New York public found the glamorous Geraldine, who counted the Crown Prince of Prussia among her lovers, a convincing nun. She recorded no music from this opera. She sang a dozen performances of Angelica from 1918 to 1921. The opera was not given again at the Met until 1975. Il tabarro and Gianni Schicchi managed to hang on.
In Vienna, Schwester Angelica became the property of the great Lotte Lehmann, who was not the looker Farrar was, but Puccini called Lehmann's performance 'soavissima'.
Is Suor Angelica a bad opera? No. I'm, willing to bet that the first audience nearly 90 years ago was cyncial enough to laugh at visions of the Virgin Mary walking around on stage. The all female cast may have been aurally monotnous.
Opera demands that audiences and performers ignite their imaginations and leave cynicism at the door. Doing that is made easier when the stories are dramatic, when audiences are lulled or manipulated into some kind of strong emotional response. Wagner does this through his music. Verdi through his music and situations. Puccini comes across as unashamedly sentimental. Everyone cries when Mimi dies at the end of La boheme. Cops, prize fighters and even Republicans leave the theater weeping.
OK, the Virgin Mary might be a bit much-but what helps Puccini along is the utter sincerity with which he depicts his characters. He's been the step child of the critics for one hundred years. But we beleive in his operas and his creations because he does. If there's any cynicsm in the theater, its off stage and off the printed page. Puccini meant to tell the tragedy of a woman who has lost her baby and who seeks redemption and he did so.
But there's a complication. For all her gentless, Angleica's music demands a dramatic soprano voice, with the beauty of a waterfall and the strength of a cement mixer.
You may wish to play this opera as a blushng flower but the music doesn't support you. Convents were houses of prayer yes, but they were also as with Angelica prisons for fallen women or women whose fmailies could not marry them of advantageously. They were places of anger, petty jealouies, sexual confusion and divine grace. Angelica has tried to live a serene life for seven years, keeping her pain and loss wrapped tightly inside of her. What toll does that take on any of us? How many of the older nuns, who have presumably been there for years-are acutlly serence and at peace.
Would pretty music serve them? The other sisters, must be made individual characters. Theer music is not especially flavorful but the sternes of the Sister Monitor means that Ssiter Dolcina's funny gluttony and Sister Osmina's defiance must be brought out to balance Sister Genevieve's youth and naivte and Angelica's pain. These are supporting roles but the opera will not function at all if they are not played well. Likewise the Aunt, la zia principessa is less interesting played as a harridan rather than a woman who wants to be past the pain of life, and for whom her niece Angelica, whom she cannot forgive, is a symbol of that pain.
I don't think the music is monotnous. I think it reflects the teduim and pain many of the sisters found in thier daily lives. Farrar ddin't get it. I doubt she wanted to. Her recordings of music from Tosca and La bohmee are marvelous. She "owned"
Madama Butterfly whether Puccini-or Toscanini- liked her or not. She may have played Angelica's supposed timidity too well, or over played it. And I doubt she had the voce di petto-the growling dramatic chest voice Angelica needs when she rebukes her aunt, her one act of defiance in this fifty minute opera
Sorella di mia madre, voi siete inesorabile
Sister of my mother, you are unforgiving
Perche tacete?
Un altro istante di questo sileznio
e i dannate per l'eternita!
Le vergine vi acolta e Lei vi giudica
Why are you silent?
Another moment of this silence
and you will be damned forever
The virgin hears you, and judges you
Even Renata Tebaldi, surely the most glorious Italian soprano voice of the past fifty years never sang Angleica on the stage. "Troppo emozione" she said. Her 1962 recording of the opera finds Tebaldi in poor voice, ducking the one high C-never a good note for her anyway. Renata Scotto gave memorable performances in the 1980s.
We laughed then at her fractured voice and dramatic excess and we miss her now.
She probably made us uncomfortable with her honesty. Callas never attmepted Suor Angelica. Its a vocal and emotional wallop balanced by a delicacy that's hard to pull off. Angelica has to seem to want to explode emotionally while almost never doing so. She is a destroyed woman playing a contented woman.
And she needs a big, lusicous, gleaming voice.

Christopher, Thanks for this wonderful write up. I always learn so much from you..and I am really looking forward to attempting this intense emotional and restrained dichotomy that you discuss so beautifully here! See you,

where is it being done? I stagemanaged a production many years ago at the Folksbiene Playhouse on Second Avenue, on a bill with another opera I've now forgotten which had a miraculous snow storm at the end. Which in our performance was a disaster, as the stagehand yanked the rope controlling the 'snow' too sharply, and dumped all the snow at once. Wish I could recall what it was...

According to Politico, a new report exposes the shortcomings with the FBI's surveillance capabilities when it comes to keeping tabs on potential terrorism suspects within the United States. The bureau doesn't have the proper resources to watch, or properly investigate, all of the names on the suspect list. This has left a few holes in the system through which suspects have fallen and committed terrorist acts.
Omar Mateen was investigated on two previous occasions by the FBI before his attack on the Orlando nightclub. Mateen was cleared both times, and he was never placed under surveillance. In other cases, the shooters of the Fort Hood and Little Rock military attacks, as well as one of the Boston Marathon bombers, were all investigated at one point by the FBI before they committed their acts of terror.
Politico reports there are between 300 and 500 people on the terrorist watch list and roughly 16,000 on the no-fly list (about 500 Americans are on that list). It would be impossible for the bureau to keep tabs on them all, which means the bureau's 13,000 agents must often rely on their gut when investigating a potential terror suspect.

For almost two years, Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez held his tongue when it came to the attendance at Progressive Field.
That frustration boiled over Saturday and into Sunday, as Perez spoke at length about the Indians' dismal attendance numbers this season, which rank last in all of baseball.
"I know that. It's just a slap in the face when you're last in attendance," Perez said Sunday morning. "Last. It's not like we're 25th or 26th. We're last. Oakland is out-drawing us. That's embarrassing."
Sunday, Perez used his Twitter account as an olive branch of sorts, promising to give away three pairs of tickets to every home game the rest of the season.
The Indians could use a bump, even from freebies. They trail Oakland by more than 4,000 fans in average attendance this season, despite being in first place in the AL Central, off to a strong start similar to 2011.
The team's success so far this season has not translated to fan support.
"But we've been building up for this season and we're good," Perez said. "We have a good team. We haven't even played our best ball and we're in first place. It's been years building up, and Thursday was the last straw for me."
Perez, who has been a member of the Indians since 2009, has even spoke with members of the Indians teams of the 1990s, when the team won two AL pennants. The lack of recent fan support is even noticed by players from around the league.
"I'm just talking about perception of teammates and guys on other teams, not guys that have had the chance to say no to coming here, but guys looking on the outside in," Perez said. "I've talked to ex-players, guys that we have released in recent years. It's the consensus pretty much."
Indians team President Mark Shapiro responded to Perez's comments Sunday morning, speaking out in disagreement of Perez.
"We as an organization clearly disagree with him. We appreciate our fans, we respect our fans," Shapiro said. "We certainly want more to come and we're working extremely hard to make that happen, but it's our underlying belief that if the team continues to play the way it plays and we continue to win, then more fans will come out."
In 2011, the Indians finished 24th in total attendance, up from 30th in 2010. The last top 10 finish in attendance came in 2001, when the Indians drew 3.2 million.
Perez, who said he was not fined or suspended for his comments, said he got quite a bit of backlash from fans on his Twitter account, @chrisperez54.
"Some of it was funny. It entertained my timeline last night," Perez said. "That was fun. I expect it, but I really don't care anymore. I'm here to do my job and play for this team and if the fans come, they'll come and if they don't, it'll be just like it was in April, so who cares?"
There will be a good test to Perez's theory on Tuesday. The division favorite AL Central Detroit Tigers, who typically draw well in Cleveland, will be at Progressive Field to start a three-game series.

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by makhan10, May 26, 2009.
he says that whenever a ball is out
I think you are mis-hearing. The umpire is calling the score in French.
The umpire is saying "Got your ass" which sounds like Gonzalus in French.
Woodrow, would you be so kind as to post how to call scores in French/Spanish? Thanks.
15 - Quinze (kanz)
30 - Trente (trahnt)
40 - Quarante (kah-rahnt)
all - (ah)
deuce - Egalite
advantage - avantage
15 - Quince (ken-say)
30 - Treinta (trayn-ta)
40 - Cuarenta (quah-ren-ta)
all - Iguales
deuce - Iguales
advantage - ventaja (ven-ta-ha)
I find it interesting how umpires in tourneys in Spanish-speaking countries will announce scores only in Spanish if both players understand it, but repeat them in English if they don't. But the French will only announce in French all the time.
In my country there's a proverb that says: 'In Rome, be Roman'
it's an attempt to teach players french, duh!
Just to help everybody out, it would be better to pronounce 'quince' like this.
Thanks for the post, Woodrow.
when in rome, do as the romans do... I think that's how it goes in english.
you probably heard "quinze-all" (15-all)... it sounds like "gonzalus"....
Except he would say "15 partout", not 15 all.
yes i know.. that is why i posted the smiley...
or should i say..
oui... je sais bien... ces't la reason de mon "smiley"..
Ah d'accord!
No. In France, they use quinze-a.. They only use partout for the set score, and in a tiebreak.
In Canada they use partout for 15, and 30 all.
Thanks.. missed an "e".
You don't have to ask for mercy.
You're right, thanks for the correction. They use it for games in France like "2 jeux partout".
People in the United States, and all around the world actually, should be educated a lot less self-centered. It's not that you need French to have a good life in the United States, but it should be good to know anything about European countries, their languages,culture etc. it's no offense towards the OP, but imo it should be absolutely normal that everybody can conversate a little in at least three out of English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese..
I don't think so. It is possible to be very broad minded without knowing many languages. It is just a mindset. People will mainly learn the languages they use and also which are economically advantageous. No point forcing stuff on them. Otherwise do you expect someone to be intolerant of Africans and Japanese just because they don't know Swahili and Nihongo? Where is the end to it?

Americans find both President Obama and Republican opponent Mitt Romney likable -- Obama more so, reports the Gallup Poll.
Presented with a list of eight personal characteristics that could describe the candidates, 81% of respondents said Obama "is likable;" 64% said the same of Romney.
Likability topped the list of attributes for both candidates.
"Overall," the Gallup Poll added, "half of Americans believe both candidates are likable, with 28% ascribing this trait only to Obama and 12% only to Romney. Just 4% consider neither candidate likable."
The eighth and lowest-rated attribute for both candidates: "Has a clear plan for solving the country's problems."
Also from Gallup:
Romney has been criticized by his opponents in recent years as being too quick to change his issues positions, particularly from more moderate positions while campaigning for the U.S. Senate and for governor in Massachusetts to more conservative positions while campaigning for president nationally. And 61% of Americans believe he changes his positions on issues for political reasons, nearly as many as perceive him to be likable. However, nearly the same percentage, 60%, say Obama changes his positions for political reasons, also among the most common perceptions about the president.
Beyond likability and changing issue positions, Americans are most likely to see Obama as being honest and trustworthy (60%) and being able to understand the problems Americans face in their daily lives (58%).
Meanwhile, 55% say Romney is a strong and decisive leader and 53% say he can manage government effectively.
Both candidates get their lowest scores for having a clear plan for solving the country's problems -- 40% say Obama does and 38% say Romney does.

Full disclosure: My first AP football ballot
While filling out my first Associated Press top-25 football ballot in a decade earlier this morning, the strains of The Godfather theme slithered like an earworm in my subconscious.
After 10 years of voter abstinence, they pulled me back in.
Submitting a weekly ballot -- a task I really don't mind -- was among the responsibilities I inherited from Times USF beat-writing predecessor Greg Auman. Truth be told, it was an offer I could've refused, but gladly chose to accept.
An avid college football follower already, I used the previous week's poll as a guide, watched a bunch of action Saturday, did a bit of considering and contemplating, and submitted by ballot around 8 a.m. today.
A little bit on my thought process:
I'm already thinking I have UCLA ranked too low and Michigan too high. I deemed LSU's win Saturday against a prominent foe a bit more impressive than Stanford's. I dropped Arizona State from the top 25, supplanting it with Fresno State.
I've got Florida on the top-20 bubble, but I like the leadership and mobility of new QB Tyler Murphy. And I actually thought long and hard about undefeated Maryland before deciding against ranking the Terps.
Anyway, the following are the rankings I must live with for this week. Just bear in mind, this is my first ballot since 2003, when Ron Zook was coaching the Gators, Ron Franklin was ESPN's lead college football analyst, and Ron Reagan was still alive.
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State
6. Stanford
8. Louisville
9. Georgia
10. Texas A&M
11. South Carolina
13. Oklahoma State
14. Oklahoma
15. Miami
16. Washington
17. Northwestern
18. Michigan
19. Baylor
20. Florida
21. Ole Miss
22. Notre Dame
23. Wisconsin
24. Texas Tech
25. Fresno State


text: Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: DDE) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Unseasonably mild winter weather and an extra day due to leap year contributed to an improved first quarter. The Company's revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $64,084,000 compared with $59,406,000 for the first quarter of 2011. Gaming revenues increased 7.6% compared to the first quarter of last year. Slot machine revenue improved approximately 6% compared to last year while table game revenue improved approximately 24%. Gaming profits were also higher compared to the first quarter of last year as a result of the improved revenue and lower marketing and other costs. Other operating revenues increased 10.6% from higher hotel, food and beverage revenues. Occupancy levels in the Dover Downs Hotel were approximately 89% for the first quarter of 2012 compared with approximately 85% for the first quarter of 2011. General and administrative expenses decreased $223,000 during the quarter primarily from the freezing of the Company's defined benefit pension plan in July 2011. Interest expense decreased $225,000 during the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to lower interest rates and lower outstanding borrowings. Net earnings were $2,371,000, or $.07 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $38,000, or $.00 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2011. Denis McGlynn, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "While we may be seeing a slightly more confident consumer, warm weather and a favorable calendar were clearly big contributors to our year-over-year improvement for the quarter. Our investment in amenities has again allowed us to grow our market share during the quarter. We still face competitive challenges later this year and we are focusing on continuing to provide unmatched service to our customers while operating as efficiently as possible."

The Salt Lake City Film Festival will open next month with the struggles of a winless high-school basketball team in a dwindling Indiana town.
Organizers of the festival, marking its fifth year, today announced their slate leading off with the opening-night film, the documentary "Medora," directed by Davy Rothbart, a contributor to public radio's "This American Life."
The festival will have some local flavor, with the movie "Point B," the final film starring Salt Lake City actor, producer and community organizer David Fetzer.
The event runs Sept. 26-29 at three venues: The Broadway Centre Cinemas (111 E. 300 South), the Tower Theatre (876 E. 900 South) and Brewvies Cinema Pub (667 S. 200 West).
Tickets are $5 for matinees, $10 for evening screenings. An all-inclusive pass is available for $50. Tickets can be purchased online on the festival's website, or at the Broadway from 6 to 9 p.m. starting Sept. 2.
For a full roster of films, go to the festival's website, www.slcff.org.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
On the outside, it's a nondescript, cream-colored industrial-park suite. On the inside: a uke-topia, complete with bamboo stalks and fake plants. More ukuleles than you ever knew existed line the walls of this Hawaiian-themed shop. Even ukulele experts would be hard-pressed to name an existing uke-related item the store doesn't carry. Ukulele books? Check. Cases? Check. Note cards, Hawaiian leis and other kitsch? Check, check and check. Whether you're a rookie or a pro, Island Bazaar is your place. The ukes range in quality and price, starting at $50 and peaking around $3,000. The staff are friendly and helpful; as it says on the website, "If we know you are dropping in, we would love to make a fuss over you." But if you tell the salespeople you're just looking, they'll leave you alone and head back to the task at hand—strumming. Aside from selling ukuleles, Island Bazaar also offers lessons and several jam sessions every week. Beginners can learn on Wednesday nights. Then on Fridays, the Surf City Strummers work on a new play list each week and boast the best snacks of all the uke groups. If you stick around all day, and it's the last Friday of the month, you can play along during gospel night. It even sets up concerts by ukulele greats—musicians have traveled from Hawaii and Canada to play at the shop—and charges just 20 bucks. Oh, yeah, and don't forget to grab an "EvolUKEtion" T-shirt on the way out.
Hope you held onto those Donnie Wahlberg posters: Another decade from the past has become all cool and retro, and this time, it's the 1990s (la vida loca?). Eighties nostalgia is so 10 years ago. It seems like everyone has jumped in on the craze. MTV brought back Beavis and Butt-head and—get this—music videos. The Backstreet Boys and New Kids On the Block got back together to perform for swarms of once-tweens (Justin who?). Newt Gingrich has considered a presidential run. Teen witches replaced teen vampires. Christina Applegate is still hot. It's easy, we suppose, to long for the days when the now-legal, pouty Olsen twins chirped adorable one-liners ("You got it, dude!"), and the only terrorists we worried about were dinosaurs destroying theme parks. Yes, we love the '90s! Now, if only we can bring back the Clinton-era economy and Metropolis in Irvine. . . .
Sometimes, you just have to go with the obvious. If you're gonna go to the mall, you might as well go to the mall, the holy grail of Orange County consumerism, the reason why the words "Costa Mesa" sit beside Beverly Hills, Paris and Milan in designer ads in glossy magazines. It's a place where a concierge will check your bags when your arms get too tired, where personal shoppers are at your service (for a fee, of course), where your electric Jaguar can juice up at the charging station while you shop. Even if you're more, well, recession-chic like us, it's always fun to play Pretty Woman, dressing up (yeah, you've gotta dress up) and prancing around the fancy cluster of shops: Prada, Burberry, Armani, Gucci, La Perla, Hermès, Versace and Chloé. The 2.8 million-square-foot complex houses all the usual mall stores, too, including H&M, Banana Republic and Nine West, as well as the major department stores and a list of eateries from acclaimed gourmet to fast food. Shopping has never looked this good.
Located in a former auto garage, the Captain's Helm exudes hipster chic, yet it skews more thrift store than vintage store. There's a nice selection of graphic tees and polo shirts, some with interesting graphics such as Reagan's face twisted in all sorts of grotesque contortions accompanied by nasty, lovable captions; these run anywhere from $8 to $12. And don't miss the selection of Captain's Helm T-shirts featuring obligatory line drawings of a crusty rowboat guy. Included in the mix are shoes, boots and jeans, as well as—bizarrely—surfboards. And like any forward-thinking secondhand store, there's also a sizable collection of used vinyl. All of which gives the savvy shopper plenty of reasons to check this spot out.
This place offers nearly all the creature comforts the eco-conscious soul could desire, except for organic produce. Like a subspace passage to Portland, Seed People's Market touts "products with a purpose" and carries countless handmade and recycled items arranged artfully about the shop on whimsical art-installation-like displays. The result resembles a miniature Patchwork Festival operating seven days a week. You'd be hard-pressed to find another establishment in Orange County from which you can walk away with Patagonia outerwear, a package of hand-printed stationery and a pair of decorative bear-eared headbands. Nestled in the heart of the Camp in Costa Mesa, not only does the store offer an array of guilt-free gift-worthy items, but it also has a café and a second-floor crafting studio, with regularly scheduled classes. So if you're feeling particularly productive, you could roll over to Seed, get your birthday shopping done, learn how to repurpose old copper wire into a new birdhouse, grab some coffee and wrap up by chilling out on the patio while shooting the shit next to a campfire.
In the SoCo Corner off Interstate 405 is the home-decorating behemoth known simply as tpt home, pleasing shoppers and infuriating the grammar police. The year-old shop is the size of a giant warehouse—one entire wing is dedicated to fake flowers and faux topiary (look no further to satisfy those artificial-Christmas-tree needs). Calling itself "Orange County's destination for inspired home décor," tpt definitely has an OC aesthetic and is perfect for those Newport Beach residents who had to fire their interior decorator when the market crashed. Any knickknack can be found—need some colored glass balls to finish off the table setting? Maybe an assortment of tin bud vases? A sequined bird statue? Yep, all can be found here.

I have just been made aware that my dear cousin, JoAnn is now with God. As with my wonderful husband, Don who passed away on March 6, 2012, they are both with God and sharing the laughter they shared in life. My deep feelings are with Leslie and Blair as I know their sadness and loss.
JoAnn was a very special cousin and we shared many loving times in our younger years and although we were miles apart in later years, her warmth and thoughtfulness never left my heart.
May God bless and keep her in his loving hands.

Leslie & Blair,
My sympathy in the loss of your mother, JoAnn. What a gracious and beautiful person she was. Growing up near you, our family was able to enjoy her company on many occasions. Later it was especially fun to stop by when I was in Parkdale and visit with her. She would always make time to sit and talk. She was genuinely interested in all that was going on in our lives. I was truly blessed having known her and her familly.

I always enjoyed visiting w/ your Mom. When I moved home to take care of my Dad I often stopped by on my walk to the store if she was working in the yard. I always admired her. May happy memories give you comfort.

Snowball Cake (Bánh Bao Chỉ)
Add your photo of this recipe!
Preparation time
75 mins
Cooking time
20 mins
For more photos and recipes, please visit my blog at Danang Cuisine.Snowball Cake (Bánh Bao Chỉ),
- 100g (1/2 cup) peeled split mung bean
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 11g vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup shredded young coconut
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds Dough:
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup glutinous rice flower
- 1/2 cup coconut flake
1. Wash the mung bean 3 times until the water becomes clear. Soak in water for at least 1 hour.
2. Cook in a rice cooker with 1/2 cup of water (or just enough water to barely cover the beans). Alternatively you can steam the beans for 15 minutes or until soft.
3. Process the cooked mung bean in a food processor into a fine paste (or mash by hand using mortar and pestle or other mashing tools). Mix with sugar, shredded coconut, vegetable oil, sesame seeds, vanilla and salt. Divide into 8 balls.
1. Dissolve sugar and salt with milk. Then mix with the glutinous rice flour.
2. Cover with plastic wrap leaving a small gap for the steam to release. Microwave for 3 minutes. Mix well and microwave for another minute and then knead with a rice ladle for about 50 times.
3. Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and grease with some cooking oil. Place 1/8 of the dough on the plastic wrap and fold. Slightly flatten the piece of dough with the palm of your hand. Then place the filling ball on top and seal it. Make it into a ball and coat in coconut flakes. Now you can touch the cake directly (It's not sticky anymore) and form into a nice snowball. For more photos and recipes, please visit my blog at Danang Cuisine.

Hyatt Regency Greenville
Top City Hotel
220 North Main Street, Greenville, SC
0.4 km from
Airport shuttle
We liked the location. It was nice to be able to be right downtown. First the pool was closed for re modeling. Why would you close the pool during the middle of summer? We were hoping to at least have a refrigerator in the room. Having to pay full price for parking during the weekends was shady since I could've parked a couple of blocks down the road and paid $2. I told the valet I didn't want to continue my valet parking after 1 night and they charged me for all 4 nights. The king size bed was uncomfortable and didn't have a fitted sheet so every night we had to get up and fix the bed so we weren't laying directly on mattress.
The breakfast was dope, the beds were great, employees are some of the best. Rooms don't have have refrigerators for some reason and the ac hardly worked.
The lobby is nice The location is quite central Free basic Internet The smell - step off of the 6th floor elevator and it smells like a squirrel died in one of the walls The rooms are TINY. The bathroom doesn't even have a counter The furniture is beaten up. The TV stand looked like it had been used as a chopping block This place has seen better days - it has no business being under the Hyatt/Regency trade mark
The Christmas decirations Nothing
Good location and decent price. No fridge in room.
Desk staff was great. Offered complimentary appetizer via room service as gift to celebrate birthday of son (reason for trip). Cleanliness of room somewhat lacking. Doors to bathroom slide together. Didn't 'match' thus privacy greatly limited for both aural and visual. Room small. No little half refrigerator or microwave. Just expected a few more room perks for $300 a night tab. Most I've ever paid for hotel room this small.
Take this hotel off your list especially if you might need any assistance from the Bell Staff or Valet. Experienced non-existing service on last 2 visits. Staff not busy and chapping with each other but don't expect them to even offer to help with any luggage or items you are carrying in or out. Not what I thought was standard for Hyatt but I now know different.
I like how it was right across the street from the peace center, which is why we were there. I found that the people that were at the hotel and around the area were not my cup of tea. I found that the hotel patrons were of 'high class' and that wouldn't bother me if they didn't treat us like we were trash. the hotel was expensive so.....
Location and the staff No all was excellent
Location was centrally located in the city.
Location and view not enough lighting in bathroom and bar closed very early for super Bowl night
