Actor Michael Fassbender doesn't see himself as an alpha and would never hurt others on the road to success.
The German-Irish star tackles Shakespeare's Macbeth with his latest movie, taking on the twisted and power-hungry king. While Michael, 38, is ambitious, he's not the kind of person that would do anything to get what he wants.
"I'm not an alpha," he insisted to Germany's Cosmopolitan magazine. "OK, if I really want something I'll fight for it. But always with the following motto in mind: treat others as you wish to be treated. I want to delve deep into life and its many facets. That wouldn't be possible as a king!"
Maybe it's his amicable attitude that's helped him become one of the biggest stars in the industry. He takes on the tough part of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the upcoming, same-titled drama and still can't believe he's made it so far.
"I had to wait a very long time to get a good roll," he admitted. "I never really saw myself as particularly talented. When I was 17 and at theatre school, I suddenly realised where I belong. After that came tonnes of hard work. I didn't receive any recognition until I appeared in Hunger at the age of 31."
Now the work is constantly rolling in for Michael, who has five movies out in 2016 alone. But he doesn't want to plan forward any more than that after a recent tarot card reading in San Francisco.
"Of course it wasn't all positive and now all those worries are swirling around in my mind," he laughed. "Awful! I'm never doing it again. I don't want to know what the future brings."
Macbeth is out in cinemas now and Steve Jobs hits screens from October (15).

"Division Street" is my jam
Also an awesome record, definitely receives too much hate
Album Rating: 3.0I guess they're a band where a lot of people are gonna disagree as to which is their best LP. I initially felt most thought it was 'FC', but maybe I was wrong.
"For some reason Thursday themselves aren't satisfied with this album". Hmm, interesting. Anyone know any further?
I watched the Kill The House Lights DVD, and if I remember correctly it seemed like they were sort of forced to write an album, and they were definitely forced to release a few singles.
Album Rating: 3.5What the actual fuck. My copy of Tomorrow I'll Be You in my iTunes was actually a mislabeled copy of "Wind-Up". How did that even happen and how did I not notice it?
Well, see, you obviously weren't listening to Thursday enough to notice this issue. And there's your problem right there: you weren't listening to Thursday enough ^.^
Album Rating: 3.5Not even. They have like the 6th highest amount of plays on my last.fm.
But to be fair the vast majority of that is Full Collapse and No Devolucion
Album Rating: 3.0"they were sort of forced to write an album, and they were definitely forced to release a few singles."
Hmmm, maybe they weren't ready to drop the full-on post-hardcore just yet, but kind of used it to their advantage down the track.
Album Rating: 4.5Once again, Marches and Maneuvers is IT.
once again, this whole album is IT. i never tire of this. the energy, melodies, songwriting, vocals are all absolute perfection. i can't imagine i'll ever hear a post-hardcore/screamo/emo album that gets me pumped as much as this. there are so many moments that just give me chills. in for the workforce its "touch me! touch me!"; in division street its "i drew an x on your city's name! lights out! black out!"; in marches and manaeuvers its "under a black and blue sky..."; in falling bomb its "dooooOOOOOOWWWN". etc etc. this album is just perfect.
Album Rating: 3.5gr8
Digging: Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights
full collapse is a high 3.0, maybe a low 3.5. oh how i love to be controversial.
I have FC at a 3.5 too. Love the intro, love "Understanding", LOVE "Concealer", blah blah... but starting after "Cross Out The Eyes" I started thinking 'hey didn't I hear this already?' It got a bit annoying
Album Rating: 4.0Just got this and Full Collapse, not hugely impressed by either but I prefer this; do they grow?
Album Rating: 4.0fuck yeh
Album Rating: 3.0Nothing like ranking Thursday albums to divide opinion.
Album Rating: 3.5No Devolucion > Full Collapse > War All The Time > whatever else.
but their best song is on A City By the Light Divided...
Considering I just deleted that album off my iPod literally ten minutes ago, what song is this?
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Although it is a bit hard to take him seriously as a professional MMA fighter, i am fairly convinced that ole Skip could rip one of my arms off and beat me silly with the bloody end.
I love how he even has the old-timey "get your dukes up, sonny" stance.
skip is not a good fighter
get off my lawn!
The fact that he's a fighter at all is impressive enough for me.
He is in much much much much better shape then I!
Would you expect mercy from a 63 year old dude?

Things I liked: Well packed from PA. The pellets themselves seem to be consistent and no deformed on es. I have found that for me, these pellets seem to have the weight that give my guns the accuracy they like. I have a Crosman Nitro Fury and a Gamo Whisper G2. I havent had the chance to hunt with either gun, if my backstops to my targets are any indication of power I am sure any hit will be quick and humane. I have used a Chilton manual for a backstop at 30 yards and the pellets punch holes half way thru. When opening manual, there is a flurry of tiny pieces of round shaped pieces of paper. High powered hole punch you could say. At that distance I can keep quarter size patterns. Anything out of that is operator error or gun is getting dirty.
Things I would have changed: Cant think of any.
What others should know: Be ready to try different weights, types and brands. Every gun is different and what works for me might not work for you. Dont be afraid to experiment. Once you find the one that works you will find it was worth it. Peace of mind is when you know you can grab your gun and ammo and know when you sight in your target, you will hit it where you want.

Things I liked: Using these in a Crosman Fury NP and Gamo Whisper G2. I've tried several different types, brands, and weights. Both of my guns seem to love these. My patterns are tight and consistent. I noticed right off that when I load my speedloaders that the size is consistent. Very few were out of specs. I have also noticed after a day of shooting, my guns arent nearly as fouled. The impact is great. Did some shots with both guns firing at Chilton books from a little more than 25 yards. The crosman will penetrate half way through and leave little round chads along the way. Talk about a hole punch. Looking at the pellet, it is flat. Looks almost like it was put in a vise. The Gamo will do the same only not as deep. I'm not that good a shot, but using these pellets, they make me look good. I haven't had a chance to hunt with these, but spring is on the way and the critters around my property will be around. If they do to the critters like they do to Chilton book, bye bye critters.
Things I would have changed: Cant think of anything.
What others should know: For the newbies out there, dont be afraid to try different types, weights, and brands. Different guns have different sweet spots when it comes to ammo. Dont be afraid to spend a little money on a GOOD scope. If you want to reach out there and touch something, good optics and reliable ammo is the key. Take your time and keep notes. Keep in mind your temps. They can affect your results. Be prepared to eat ammo, and your time. I have spent many hours and dollars to get me to the point I know at any time I pick up my gun, I can hit what I aim at.

Tucked into a courtyard behind Lucy C. Laney High School is a nondescript red-brick building.
Its almost resembles the newer school buildings that surround it, except a marker on one corner identifies it as the Cauley-Wheeler Building, built in 1924.
On the ground beside it is a granite cornerstone bearing an engraving of the Class of 1928.
Once, when the Laney campus looked nothing like it does today, the building was one of six that made up the Haines Normal and Industrial School.
The school's history goes back to 1883, when Lucy Craft Laney started teaching in a basement room at Christ Presbyterian Church.
"At first it was supposed to be an all-girls school, but the first day of school, four girls and two boys showed up. And so it was co-ed from the beginning," said Christine Miller-Betts, the executive director for the Lucy C. Laney Museum of Black History.
Every day, more children showed up and Laney moved her class to a building on Calhoun Street. Within a couple of years, she had 200 pupils and had outgrown that space as well.
Laney went to Minnesota to appeal to the General Assembly of the Northern Presbyterian Church to ask for financial help to build a school.
She was turned away, but shortly afterward was contacted by Francine E.H. Haines, who was so moved by her mission that she offered the money. Laney named it the Haines Normal and Industrial School in her honor.
The Haines campus, which once stood where Lucy C. Laney High School now is, grew to include two dormitories, an industrial building and an administration building.
The Cauley-Wheeler building was named for Alice Wheeler, a benefactor who gave the school $10,000 in honor of her nurse, Mary Cauley, who was trained there. The Cauley-Wheeler building housed the primary school.
Many graduates of the Haines school went on to become respected leaders, doctors, lawyers and teachers in their communities.
The Haines school closed in 1949 and many of the buildings were razed to make room for the Lucy C. Laney High School. The Cauley-Wheeler building is the only building that remains. It has served as classroom space and the ROTC building for Laney High School. Now it houses a small museum.
The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
It is scheduled to be demolished in a few months to make room for newer facilities. A replica is expected to be erected in its place, said Robyn Anderson of Historic Augusta.
The campus where she carried out her life's work and where the school bearing her name has stood for more than 50 years is steps away from Laney's former home, which is now a museum dedicated to her and to the contributions of other Augustans like her.
"Lucy Laney was such a dynamic person. She did so much with so little," Miller-Betts said.
"Every day when I come down here, I'm reminded. I never forget that this is where Ms. Laney lived and this is where she represented."

Third: Arizona. The preseason No. 7 pick, now up to No. 2, Arizona has impressed with a talented top five 5 who seem to cross the finish line in a different order with every meet. Pac-12 and West Regional victories indicate that this team can is in top form, but they can't quite match the depth of Arkansas in positions 5-7, the runners who could very well determine the order of the podium teams.
Fourth: Florida State. Even though this appeared to be a rebuilding year for the Seminoles, this season has seen Karen Harvey's team ranked among the top 5 every week. An improvement on last year's fourth-place finish is possible.
Men's Race, Team
Second: Colorado. After impressive wins at Pre-Nationals and Pac-12s, Colorado was sitting pretty in the No. 1 spot. And then Northern Arizona nipped the Buffaloes by eight points at the Mountain regional. In the larger, deeper nationals field, however, Colorado's superior depth will work to their advantage. And don't discount the skilled guidance of 22-year CU coach Mark Wetmore, the only Division I coach to have led both men's and women's teams to individual and team national championships.
Third: Northern Arizona. The Wisconsin Invitational a month ago served notice that the Lumberjacks were again an elite team, and they've ranked among the top 3 all fall. Now NAU has garnered the first No. 1 ranking in program history after edging Colorado at the Mountain regional. The question for the Lumberjacks, and all men's teams, is how fully recovered will runners be eight days after the season's first 10K?
Fourth: Stanford. With four top-12 finishers in the West regional, the Cardinal look capable of getting back to podium after finishing a disappointing 16th last fall.
Women's Race, Individual
Second: Emma Bates (Boise State, junior). Despite her announced goal of winning the meet, this will be Bates' first collegiate cross country nationals. Nevertheless, she's gained great confidence from a season full of meet wins and doesn't get rattled when going up against top competition. Any doubts about her finishing ability were silenced last Friday, when Bates ran down Arizona State's speedy Shelby Houlihan to cross the line first at the West Regional. If she can stay with D'Agostino until the final couple hundred meters, Bates could pull off the upset.
Third: Emily Sisson (Providence, senior). One-third of Providence's trio of front-runners, Sisson rolled to the Big East title early this month and was runner-up to D'Agostino at the Northeast regional. Sisson and her teammates Sarah Collins and Laura Nagel all have top 10 potential.
Fourth: Emily Lipari (Villanova, senior). She finished 25th last November and is better known for her exploits on Villanova relay teams, but Lipari has enjoyed an excellent cross country season and nipped teammate Nicky Akande to win the Mid-Atlantic Regional title. Villanova coach Gina Procaccio is a master at getting her runners up for big meets and Lipari has the tools to outkick anyone down the stretch and finish very high.
Wild Card: Cally Macumber (Kentucky, senior). Last year's SEC and Southeast region champion who went on to finish sixth at nationals, Macumber has been less sharp this fall. But her runner-up finish to William & Mary's Emily Stites at regionals last Friday indicates Macumber has rounded into form. With 4:37 mile speed and a sub-9:00 3,000m PR, she is a late-race threat. She deployed her trademark kick at regionals, passing two competitors in the final 50 meters to take runner-up honors.
Men's Race, Individual
Second: Anthony Rotich (UTEP, sophomore). Fourth at nationals last year, Rotich has been in top form all fall. Only two losses to Kithuka have blemished his season record. He'll almost certainly finish behind his nemesis a third time this Saturday, but he is running strong.
Third: Kemoy Campbell (Arkansas, senior). Campbell joked with teammate Stanley Kebenei about the "easy pace" they ran together in winning the South Central Region. And Campbell has the distinction of finishing closer to Kithuka than any other collegiate athlete this fall, when he was a 6-second runner-up finish on a sloppy day at the Chile Pepper Festival.
Fourth: Chris O'Hare (Tulsa, senior). After finishing 20th at nationals last fall, O'Hare was a 1500m finalist at the world championships in August. Prior to winning the Midwest Region he finished runner-up to Rotich at the Conference USA Championships and was third behind Kithuka and Rotich at Pre-Nationals. Though he much prefers middle distances on the track, O'Hare loves to compete and has top five capabilities.
Wild Card: Edward Cheserek (Oregon, freshman). Performing better than anyone expected this fall, Cheserek has picked up three meet wins including Pac-12 and West Region titles. If he isn't worn out from the long season, the youngest Duck could stick with the frontrunners and perhaps even lead No. 5 Oregon to a podium finish.

We still on for tonight, Bagga?
Yeah, what time? I don't really care much about tonight's NFL game, so that doesn't affect my schedule. What about 9:30c?
9:30c. See you then.
Frankie, we're into my days where I'm generally wide open. I'm home tonight and off work the next three days. Say when.
Gumbie, just checking in to make sure there's a notice on this page. Are you free tonight by any chance?
Yep how does 9:15 central sound?
I can make that work.
Thin_J I will be on tonight after 8:30 you can find me then or can play all night Wedensday
Let's do tomorrow. How early/late are you available?
Gumbie, I've been in the lobby for 20 min. Do I have the time conversion wrong? In any case, I'm going to play some Orange Box. We'll figure out some other time.
Slumberland pulls off the undefeated season. I was trying to be Stanford against his USC...didn't work out
Good game Slumberland.
Good game Gumbie!
And I finish out the season with three losses in a row. Frankie kicked a field goal with three seconds remaining to break a tie and win the game.
How many players go to the playoffs? Is it 4? or 8? I don't even get how it works with this number of teams
Looking forward to it. Mostly though I'm just looking forward to it being over so we can all switch teams.

Have you ever seen 19th Century Inline Skates?
By Chris Gorski
The skates we have nowadays have high tech closures, super smooth bearings, large smooth wheels and super comfortable and supportive liners. But, what about the inline skates of the 19th century? These skates, as you can guess, don't offer as much performance, comfort or fancy closures.
The 19th century skate pictured below is displayed at the Smithsonian and has a name, the Volito. The skate, from 1832, offers a wooden sole, 5 wheels per skates and a curved iron bar attached to the front as a makeshift brake. The Volito did have one high tech feature; the wooden wheels were of unequal size being larger at the center and smaller at the ends. The wheels being different sizes allowed skaters to execute turns more easily.

Cape Town - Too many re-runs of old movies, such as those starring actor Sylvester Stallone, are costing the SABC its television audience, Parliament's communications portfolio committee heard on Tuesday.In the first of 14 interviews aimed at selecting four new members for the national broadcaster's board, business administrator Sethe Makhesha told MPs that while the SABC had made a "lot of effort" with regard to local content, the international film fare it served left a lot to be desired."The kind of material that we need to be buying... internationally should be the latest, the [most] recent."Because with the low quality that we are currently experiencing - I mean, for example, we have Sylvester Stallone movies being featured on Friday night, something we used to have in 1985 - I don't think that is attracting a good target audience."Audiences were switching to satellite channels because they wanted to see recently-made films, she said.ShortlistFourteen nominees have been shortlisted by MPs to fill four vacancies on the SABC board left by a spate of resignations last year.The candidates are being interviewed over three days this week. The committee is to present the names of the final four to the National Assembly on February 3. If approved, they are expected to take up their positions during the first quarter of this year.The four posts became vacant when board members David Niddrie, Barbara Masekela, Felleng Sekha and Makgatho Mello left last October. Their exits followed months of infighting and complaints over a failure to produce a financial strategy for the cash-strapped SABC.The highly-qualified Makhesha, who told members she had completed her MBA and then progressed towards a doctorate in business administration, including a stint at Harvard University in the United States, currently serves as a senior executive in the local forestry industry.She worked for the SABC in the mid-nineties.Responding to questions, she told the committee she believed the SABC had the potential to be financially self-sustaining."[But] they need to go back to the basics."The corporation had huge potential. Among other things, what it needed to do was look at all the companies currently not using the SABC for their advertising."And sell to them, don't wait for them to approach you."Asked what circumstances she thought might warrant the communications minister, as political head, intervening in the running of the SABC, Makhesha replied that ministerial intervention was a sign the board had failed to do what it was supposed to do."I think the board should be strong enough to drive the process," she said.NomineesThe other 13 board nominees include academic Govin Reddy, who is also a board member of the Mail & Guardian; Mahavishnu Padayachee, head of the school of development studies at KwaZulu-Natal University; Sadhasivan Perumal, an associate professor at the same university; and Unisa vice-chancellor David Mosoma.Also still to be interviewed are Peter Druchen, head of DeafSA; Eugenia Kula-Ameyaw, Eskom's business support manager; Maureen Manyama-Matome, South African forestry company Safcol's chief financial officer; and former SABC journalist Fawzia Moodley.Others include company director Sembla Danana, advocate Cawekazi Mahlati, media company director Lumko Mtide, and Johannesburg regional government administrator Vusamuzi Mavuso.The second nominee to be interviewed on Tuesday was radio and television engineer Kenneth Herold.More interviews will be conducted on Wednesday and Friday this week.
DSTV is guilty of the EXACT same thing, they rehashing the same old movies and series year in year out...January will be my last month with Multichoice, switching to ADSL/Internet,cheaper,more informative and useful.
ADSL/Internet is much cheaper and as you say more informative and usefel...I dont even watch the news!!!!!
It is not only SABC, comment on DSTV, costs a lot of money same programmes always for R550 plus a month, while SABC is an yearly subscripting that you need to buy a new tv or upgrade it, never watch it, but let us start a petition against these money suckers. If you enter any of their comps. you never know who wins and how it is judged, my opinion it is a scam only new sign ons win, never mind us that have supported them from the beginning, we get repeats. anybody agrees? Looking forward to hear from you guys, let us not pay our subscription for a month and see what happens. Tired of being ripped off, are not you?
We are getting an increase soon with another excuse of new programes, what rubbish, start fighting against these thiefs
Lets be honest with each other, you can never have enough Sly movies on TV.
why must we pay for TV License if we don`t even watch sabc 123 or E???People should have the choice whether they want sabc 1 2 3 or e or not.
The programs are crap and all sucks!!
They must bring out n decoder like dstv if you want to watch sabc 1 2 3 or e.I wont buy it but some might,
Hennie E is not part of the sabc package. they are completely independent as far as I know and out of principle I will not even put sabc on even if there is something interesting on.
You are hoping for a miracle. Nothing run by the ANC ever works. SAFM radio was great and now it has been taken over by non English speaking indiginous people and is absolutely useless with a couple of exceptions. They cannot speak the language properly and only play African music on the English channel Why the hell do they not do this on their own indiginous language channels??? It is an absolute shame to have ruined the radio program and they are doing the same to SABC TV. Fortunately I have not watched it for the last ten-twelve years. I prefer DSTV. No wonder why the govt. has to bail out these poluckas every year despite their exhorbitant salaries and perks. like everything run by the ANC a complete f***K*P.
I agree with you Brian. It was great to have a radio program dedicated to the English speaker, with presenters that were absolutely fluent in the language. The same applied for the Afrikaans program. It wasn't racist. It just gave one the choice.
The government of the day pretty much controls the media. In this case the ANC has opted to bring the previously advantaged down to their level, instead of using us as a benchmark and building on it.
They don't realise that they are politically immature and really needed to be weaned into leading a country. Instead they continue with revolution politics and firmly believe in the adage 'To the victor the spoils'.
What is of concern is that a government, no matter how arrogant, corrupt or incompetent, can remain in power as long as they have the popular support of the masses.
We're doomed.
...and yet the international community praises South Africa for it's good work.
I was working in the UK and a co-worker asked me if I enjoyed being able to watch TV. At first he didn't believe me that I was a South African because I am white... and when he finally decided to take me on my word, he asked me what is was like to live in a hut.
Yes, doing brilliantly indeed. I guess if the world thinks we are all black and living in huts then hearing that we made a deal to give our electricity to another country or that we now embrace digital TV makes us look real "advanced" and, again, doing a bang up job! Good show!
It's not just the programming on SABC; it's SATV in general! We deliberately being dumbed down as a nation! One shouldn't be watching the entertainment programmes to see this, but what goes on BETWEEN the programmes: bland, uncritical, ever-so-polite, sycophantic interviews with public officials, mindless Americak & kwaito throd-throd-throd music videos, blatant propaganda messages about 'our one nation', a la communist public political education programmes, tv ads putting an African shine on all things middle-class to appease an apparent emerging black middle-class (at the cost of our 'Rainbow Nation' society!), subtle censorship & editing that reflects the party line.....
Is there still ANY doubt that we're living in a communist-style one-party state, run by corrupt, nepotistic, oligarchic minority, while the poor majority follow mindlessly & obediently like sheep?
Read Orwell's ANIMAL FARM, people!!!!
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Eish, it's not just the SABC / SAUK that's stuck in 1985, is it?
Ag Pleez Daddy Won't you take us to a drive-in
All 6, 7 of us, 8, 9, 10
We wanna see a flick about Tarzan and the ape men
When the show is over
You can bring us back again.
Popcorn, chewing gum
Peanuts and bubblegum
Ice cream, candy floss, and Eskimo Pie
Knickerpulls and liquorice
Pepsi Cola, Ginger beer, and Calico Rye
I think that might originally have been 'Niggerballs and...Canada Dry'. Not quite PC.
Jeremy Taylor, methinks, might still be rubbing his bum as a result of the original ditty.
I have not had a TV for eight years... I dont miss it at all
The SABC is nothing more than a propaganda machine for the ANC regime. Education programs and black news.
racist bitch.
I love the Sly movies, but I have to agree that we need some variety.
SABC - Select Another Boring Channel
again the anc{sabc] fails us.
I think there is plenty of potential for good quality local productions. For example, I really enjoyed last year's series MAN and wish we had more productions like that.
Local theater plays like Joe Barber will be great.
Exactly!! get off the couch and rather support the Performing Arts/ Theatre!!

After Beavis and Butthead triumphantly save the world at the conclusion of Beavis and Butthead Do America, then-president Bill Clinton awards the cartoon heroes with honorary memberships in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "Yes! Fire, fire," Beavis squeals with delight.
Indeed, it is hard to imagine a more fitting reward for the heroic duo. For what gifts could better capture the fancy of bumbling teenage idiots than booze, guns and smokes?
The same line-up works for supporters of right-wing think tanks as well. Today, the Golden-based Independence Institute will sponsor its second annual Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Sporting Clay Shoot at the Kiowa Creek Sporting Club, 46700 East Quincy Avenue, in Bennett. After a morning clay-pigeon shoot, the I.I. will host lunch at the clubhouse, where cigars and whiskey will abound.
"The thought of responsible adults enjoying these pastimes just drives the liberal meddlers nuts," says Institute president Jon Caldara. "I can't think of a better use of your time."
Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform and member of the boards of both the National Rifle Association and American Conservative Union, will serve as luncheon speaker, while his NRA buddies will provide eye and ear protection for the spirited shooters. T-shirts commemorating this year's shoot will also available.

Power Up
Working up a sweat for charity
Evolution is inevitable, and all entities go through modifications. Yoga is no exception. Poweryoga, a new take on the "elastic exercise," promotes itself as "a flowing practice which is a combination of strength, sweat, and spirituality." CorePowerYoga is going with that flow. Riding the power wave, the Denver-based business has opened seven local studios over the past two years. And today, it's hosting Come Sweat for Humanity, a benefit at Cheesman Park, Eighth Avenue and Franklin Street. Instructor and author Rolf Gates is jetting in from Boston to help promote perspiration, and will lead sessions at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Anyone expecting the Zen-like serenity of a Japanese tea garden is in for a surprise; KISS-FM will provide the event's musical accompaniment.
Admission is by donation: Giving $10 gets you into a Gates session; giving $30 gets you instruction, as well as lunch and some extra goodies. Proceeds will be split between local charities Safe House of Denver and Invest in Kids. For more information, contact CorePowerYoga at 303-863-YOGA, or visit www.corepoweryoga.com. -- Cub Buenning

OK. That was lovely. She is really the most natural and graceful of all the dancers...but she is still too cool for my tastes.
I can't believe that they are actually criticizing this. They are really annoying me. They need some family councelling.
You could be the juiciest, most ripe peach, but there is still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches.
Hmm, so they gave Melissa props, but are criticizing Katherine, and Len gave Maria an 8? Yep, either reverse psychology, or the Mayans were right.
Either that or the script calls for them to make it up on the second dance.
I am so sick of Sofia Vergara.
karalott, I would also be dying of laughter if either of them got eliminated so you'll have company!
Imagine if both Maria and Katherine got eliminated tomorrow night?! We can't have a semi-finals without Mark or Derek can we?

23 days in Japan
In August I will go to Japan for the first time. I'm really excited and obviously I want to make the most of it. I have worked out a rough itinerary and I would like to know wether you guys think it's doable or not.
So do you think it is possible or do you maybe even have some suggestions?
I'm looking forward for your responses :-)
Hello Felix,
Great plan! To answer your first question, it certainly doable :) Out of curiosity do you have special plans for Okayama? As I see in planned in as some kind of pit stop. In general I don't have a lot to add as your plan already is very nice, when you are in Hiroshima be sure to visit Miyajima, the ferry is covered by the JR Pass.
Also love the visit to Fukuoka and Nagasaki, while you are there, be sure to try out some Hakata Ramen and enjoy eating at one of the local Yatai.
Enjoy Japan!
Hi Daniel,
First of all thank you for your response.
For Okayama I have only planned to see the Castle since Himeji seems to be under construction and thanks for mentioning Miyajima.. Almost forgot about it :)
Also today I found about the Japan Air Pass which got me thinking wether to spend one day less in each Kyoto and Fukuoka, amd to fly to Okinawa instead. Any thoughts on that plan?
Felix :-)
Hello Felix,
Ah yes, I was wondering about Osakayama as it seemed planned in like a quick stop.
Well Okinawa is great! So don't le me keep you from visiting it. However keep in mind that the Japan Air Pass fares are only available during off peak seasons. If you want something close by without having to fly, consider a visit to Naoshima or one of the smaller islands near Shikoku. These are amazing too and you can use the JR Pass to get close to them too!
Hello Daniel,
I was thinking of flying to Naha from Fukuoka on the 19th of August which I think is valid for the Air Pass. On the 23rd I would fly back to Tokyo. That way I could choose the 14-Day Rail Pass instead of the 21-Day Pass.
I will definitely look into Naoshima and Shikoku though.
3 1/2 is somewhat short to visit Okinawa, however it would still be a couple of amazing days. So go for it if you can!
Really hope to see Shinkansen going all the way to Okinawa, somewhere in the year 2155 :)

We definitely made a concerted effort to defend tonight and I think they did a good job. —Judge coach Dan Del Porto
SALT LAKE CITY — Blame it on the unforgiving rims or the cold weather. Blame it on Judge Memorial's defensive intensity or maybe, just maybe, it was the "Fieldhouse Ghost" Wednesday night.
Whatever scenario might have influenced Park City — most likely a combination of Judge's defense and poor shooting (poltergeists aside) — the Miners simply couldn't buy a bucket.
And the Bulldogs reaped the benefits mightily in their one-sided 53-38 region win at home.
"I don't know if it was easy," Judge coach Dan Del Porto said. "I think they're a real good team. But yeah I'll certainly take a 15-point win in region play right now."
The Bulldogs — a physical, yet undersized bunch — dictated the lower paint from the opening tip, knowing Park City's tendencies to settle for outside jumpers. In the first half the Miners only attempted one shot within 7 feet of the hoop. Overall, Judge limited PC to 12 of 40 from the field — with nearly half of the attempts occurring from beyond the arc.
"I don't know if that's really what they do," Del Porto said when asked if he was surprised that Park City never threatened inside. "They've got a couple sets where they try and get the ball inside but that really didn't surprise me. They're not a traditional post-up team at all."
Park City momentarily appeared in sync midway through the first quarter after going scoreless for the opening four minutes. Trailing 6-0, the Miners (7-10, 3-2) closed the quarter on a 10-3 run.
But it all went downhill from there.
The Bulldogs (13-5, 4-1) opened the second quarter on 9-0 run with two buckets from Ryan Pauley, a 3-pointer from Terrell Young and another gimme by Joe Cremer.
The bleeding didn't stop.
Judge limited Park City to four total points in the second quarter and after halftime didn't allow a point until midway in the third quarter.Comment on this story
"Our defense was real good tonight," Del Porto said. "We definitely made a concerted effort to defend tonight and I think they did a good job."
The Miners came within single digits only once with 7:03 remaining in the fourth quarter when Hayden Daily rattled home a 3 ball to pull within 36-27. However, on the ensuing possession, Judge's Kaden Elliss capitalized on a well-timed pick-and-roll for two to extend the lead back to double figures permanently.
Young finished with a game-high 14 points with four 3-pointers and Cremer added 13 points.

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A Columbus County daycare worker has been charged with a felony after allegedly biting a child in her care.

McMillan was arrested Monday and bonded out the same day.

County council staff have been 'tremendously busy' dealing with the fallout after near record levels of rainfall in December.
According to West Sussex County Council its staff have been working 'flat out' over the Christmas holiday and New Year period reacting to the bad weather affecting residents across the county.
Seven hundred and fifty 'incident calls' were dealt with by the county council outside of normal working hours between December 23 and January 7.
Of these, 250 were flooding related, while another 250 were to do with fallen trees, and another 250 calls were received to deal with other incidents.
The county council has worked with West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, the Environment Agency, Southern Water and the six district and borough councils as part of the response effort.
Meanwhile work by the county council in preparing for flooding last year was praised by Worthing West MP Sir Peter Bottomley in the House of Commons last week.
Lionel Barnard (Con, Henfield), WSCC cabinet member for residents' services, said: "Our staff have been tremendously busy – at all hours - dealing with the fallout caused by the floods.
"Unfortunately when you get this volume of water it has to go somewhere.
"I can assure residents we are doing everything we can to make sure problems they have encountered are being dealt with."
Last year the county council launched its Operation Watershed programme, which aims to carry out more than 100 drainage improvement projects in locations most affected by flooding.
On the roads three extra gangs have been deployed to deal with the potholes which have started appearing across the county with 722 reported since January 1.
Uprooted trees or branches that have fallen in private ditches have also caused some problems.
Blocked ditches and watercourses can prolong drainage problems or stop water draining away properly.
Pieter Montyn (Con, The Witterings), cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "At times like this we really do need the help of the public.
"If you come across a tree that has fallen in your private ditch, we ask for your help in clearing it.
"It can prevent all manner of problems for neighbours and your community further down the line."

Does that mean I need to make/bring 27 gifts, but my daughter will only get two? Is it per person or per family or per stateroom? How do I broach this with our group without sounding selfish? I just want it to balanced. thanks Stephanie

Many people reserve calling a locksmith for emergency situations: a lost or broken key, a key locked inside the car, forgotten combinations, lock replacement after a break-in… but they'll put up with a sticky lock or one that needs to be coaxed into opening by wiggling and jiggling. Some people might try to fix the problem on their own with DW40 or some other lubricant - which might work at first but the lasting results compound the original problem by hardening inside the lock. Call Los Angeles Locksmith for a quick evaluation of the problem and an efficient, pocket-friendly solution.
Security Tip: If you're a business owner planning personnel changes, have a 24 hour locksmith from Los Angeles Locksmith on call to change or rekey all the locks and provide copies for legitimate employees. You can't be too careful with company property and files.
Los Angeles Locksmith has the best solutions for every locksmithing issue that comes up.
These are just a few of the situations that should automatically trigger a call to Los Angeles Locksmith, your area's most prestigious locksmith service. Don't invite trouble by leaving 'inherited' locks as-is.

Los Angeles Locksmith will evaluate each lock on every entry to your home or business and recommend either changing the locks or simply re-keying them. If your new premises have a coded security system, our locksmiths in Los Angeles know how to reset the code, as well as add or reset sensors.

"Our company just took over an old office that included some usable desks and a safe. Since we didn't have the keys to the desks or know the combination to the safe, we needed a locksmith. Los Angeles Locksmith was able to do the job at the competitive price and we were impressed with the professionalism of their locksmiths."
"The last time I went camping with my buddies, I used my car key to pry something open and broke it in the process. Since I was the driver that weekend, we needed an emergency locksmith so I could get us all home. Los Angeles Locksmith actually had a locksmith available in the area and was able to manufacture a new key for me. It wasn't exactly cheap, but their locksmith saved us from a long hike home."
"Our family's business recently installed some video monitoring devices and called Los Angeles Locksmith to do the work. They got everything installed properly the first time and their locksmiths were very knowledgeable about the technology. I definitely think they are the best locksmiths in town."


text: Hoffman hopes to exit on high Wed 25 Jun, 2014, 8:00am William Botoulas, Melbourne Correspondent, NRL.com Tweet Email Print Ryan Hoffman has signed a three-year deal to join the Warriors at the end of the season. Credit: Brett Crockford. Copyright: NRL Photos. For a man who appears to have purple running through his veins it will be bizarre to see Ryan Hoffman ply his trade across the ditch next season.But that is precisely what the veteran second-rower will do when he departs Melbourne after 11 seasons to join the Warriors.The curtain is quickly falling on his Storm career, with just 10 games plus some finals – if he had his wish – left for the 30-year-old in Melbourne.That is something that is not lost on Hoffman who is keen to make his final months at the club memorable for all the right reasons."You're used to not knowing how long it is going to last for, I do know now," said Hoffman."I know I've only got the rest of this year in the purple before I go onto another challenge."I'm never going to be apart of this group again so I want to do something special with this group."When Hoffman makes his move at season's end he will be leaving behind two mates he has played almost his entire career alongside.Billy Slater and Cameron Smith are 11-year teammates who have become lifelong friends, even if Hoffman finds himself trying to steamroll them three times a year.The best of friends turned Origin foes have gone toe-to-toe in the past five games for their respective states with Hoffman finally taking the chocolates last week as New South Wales recorded a drought-breaking series win.But in a true testament to the trio's mateship there was nothing but goodwill exchanged when the 80 minutes was up. "They said straight after the game that they are really happy for me and proud because they know how much it means to me just as I know how much Origin means to them," said Hoffman."We are good mates and there are three periods every year where we are enemies and as soon as that final whistle goes we are back to being really good friends."So with 11 weeks left in the home-and-away season Hoffman believes the side has the potential to extend his stay in Victoria just a couple weeks longer than that."We've got all the confidence in the world in our ability. We know what we can do as a team," said Hoffman."Yeh we've had injuries, yeh we've had suspensions but that happens… it's up to the blokes who fill those jerseys to do a job."I feel like we've taken some steps in the past two week but now that is the standard we need to live up to every week and carry on from that."The Storm will look to record their third straight win when they travel to face the Dragons at WIN Stadium next Monday night.

I have just bought one 8572 Series 4.5 Channels. Did not try it yet. What do you think of it ?
And broadly speaking, if you were to give a rating for all those ones you tried, what would it be ? (especially robustness, stability and usability...)
SkyRover 8572 series 4.5 ch
Good morning MMG !
I'm just getting up now...
Thanks for asking about the Sky Rover 8572.
As soon as I got that helicopter I realized it was heavy and not very agile.
It would loose balance at any aerobatic attempt. So I started working on it a bit.
I took the tail brackets and horizontal tail wing off like I often do for my other helicopters.This reduces the weigh and gives more forward movement.
I also took off one of the front disco lights, in order to save a bit of the battery. I relocated the other one on top, in the middle of the two motors, to look a bit like a police light.
Now, I'm reconsidering the tail brackets mod for this helicopter. After some flight tests, I realized that it is not the main issue to solve with the heli.
This heli doesn't realli need more forward movement. It needs to be lighter and more agile.
I can't fly it at all right now cause the flybar is broken.
My plan is to find a similar size top rotor head with the flybar above the blades. This single mod would bring most of the improvement it needs.
I also wand to make carbon fiber landing skids to save some weight. After these modifications, I will be able to decide if I want to put the tail brackets back on or not.
Basically, I'm not impressed with the stock product flight performance.
The helicopter has good potential with minimal modification intervention.
Also, my helicopter is quite green. I don't like green. It's not easy being green !
Let me know what you think.
Happy Thanksgiving !

Thanks for your quick response !
I'm newby to this stuff. This is just the second one I buy.
The first one, bought (and broken :-)) two weeks ago, was really stable, light and agile. It was a tiny SkyRover Storm Eagle or something (the small one here http://www.lambstoys.co.uk/auldey-sk...-models-auldey)
I enjoyed it but after 3 days of intensive flights one of the engines seems to be KO (only one heli rotates now)
I could not stay without one so I bought this 8572 simply because it looked robust.
I'm trying to find one that gives the same sensations and has the agility of that late-lamented yellow Storm Eagle, but that is likely to live (a little bit) more.
PS: anyway to fix the burnt rotor ? You seem good at DIY
Thanks again,
...burnt motor
Hi MMG,
I got about 40 helicopters and I never burnt out any motors.
Are you totally sure that your motor is burnt out.
The fact that the blades are not spinning could be caused by something else.
1. The top rotor head is loose, it needs to be pushed back in and the screw
needs to be tightened.
2. One of the motor pinion gear fell off and the motor turns without propelling
the blades.
Do a deeper flight inspection to verify these possibilities. Chances are that you might have to dismount part of your helicopter to access that information.
When I first started this hobby about 3 years ago, I bought lots of parts for nothing, since the problem is very often very minor and obvious.
I'm pretty sure that your helicopter is not that "out of order" and will be back in the air pretty soon.
P.S. Your Storm Eagle is the yellow version of my 2 Sky Rovers 8581. It's exactly the same product except that mine came in white.
Double check to make sure the top rotor head is tightly screwed in and take a look on the motor pinions. They look like this:
.. hmm.. maybe not burnt, you might be right.
Next week, I'll check those possible causes you enumerated (currently I'm on a trip).
Thanks a lot for the guidance.
P.S : What about your preferred model in terms of fun of use, robustness and stability ?
i.e. if you were to keep only one :-), ce serait lequel ?
...the helicopter I would keep...
Si je devais choisir de garder une seule hélicoptere,
mon premier choix serait Nine Eagles Solo Pro.
It is so fast, agile, responsive. It is a lot of fun to fly.
Mon deuxième choix serait Blade MSR, pour les memes
raisons. Je trouve Blade MSR est plus "high maintenance"
que Solo Pro en termes de pièces cassées et d'ajustements.
Probablement que certaines personnes ferait un choix différent.
I guess it's a personal choice.
You need to know that these two helicopters are hobby
grade helicopters and have nothing to
compare with Sky Rover or other toy grade helicopters on the
market, technology wise and price wise.
They are actually not shown on my pictures, since they are on the next shelf under (My pictures suck, sorry...).
But here is some images:
I was given a SkyRover 8572 for Xmas, but within less than an hour's use the bottom rotor quit working. I took some time today to disassemble and see if there was something that could be done. What I found should justify the copter's return to the store - the small pinion gear on the motor's shaft appeared to be mounted too high and the bottom of the gear was completely eaten away. I tried to move it down with a dental tool applied to the top of the gear but it was stuck fast.
I was told by my friend that the store salesman claim there'd be no returns if the box was opened. Can someone please advise as to repair? I might have better luck if I could remove the motor, but it seemed to be glued in(?)
TIA ... and Holidays' Cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula
Exactly the same problem with mine - lower rotor not turning. I'd be interested in hearing if and how you managed to fix it.
PS - The store exchanged mine today for a new one, no questions asked. Hope it doesn't happen again though.

Holy crap exact same thing happened to me. Just got it out of the box, had trouble controlling my forward pitch, and after only a few tries the bottom rotor stopped working, just makes a high pitched whine now, while the top rotor still goes full speed. Insight into repair would be most appreciated.
My story gets worse...
I took the second one back, got a third. Flew fine, but when I tried recharging, the recharging port just broke off. Took THAT one back, 4th one took one flight, then no power to lower rotor again. I took it apart and the gear that's attached to the motor spindle had just disappeared. By this time the people at the store weren't interested in dealing with me although I wasn't being obnoxious. Said they wouldn't take it back and accused me of crashing it (which I didn't unless you call a 2 foot drop onto carpet a crash).
Now it's a challenge.
I went to another store (it's a chain) and bought another one, put the one missing the gear in the box and returned it for a refund.
The new one flew great for a while, then a hard landing took out one of the skids. Still flew fine, but when I landed it, I was late cutting power and it tipped over with the motor running, and again I lost power to one rotor. I'm blaming myself for this one, and although I strongly believe this model is way too shoddily constructed, even for a cheap toy, I officially give up.
I'm going to get something better quality.

Having Brostrom Procedure in a week - what should I expect?

Re: Having Brostrom Procedure in a week - what should I expect?
Hey there. I've been through 2 Brostroms. The last one I was told I'd have a cadaver ligament as well. THe procedure for that part was called a Colville procedure. But, it turns out my dr. did something else instead, and used part of the sheath from my fibula to recreate ligaments. But they still did the Brostrom, etc. So I used my own tissue instead of a cadaver, but they had to make ligaments from it just the same.
All dr.s are different in terms of recovery. I had a different dr. for both Brostroms. My second Brostrom was along with a more serious OATS procedure so my recovery has been a bit different this time. But, both times I started off with a temp splint or cast for about 2 weeks. Then that gets changed out for a regular cast (my second dr. sometimes does a boot instead) and then the hard cast for 4-6 more weeks and then a brace or boot after that. Total time on crutches is anywhere from 8-12 weeks depending on how aggressive your dr. is.
At 3 mos post op you are still in quite a bit of pain. By 4 mos post op you start to feel much more normal. By 6 mos I was pretty much good to go.
I didn't have much pain from my Brostrom at all and never took anything more than motrin for it. The hardest part was the wait to get back to regular activity.

SUNfiltered music videos
1. Here's your weekend jump off jam: Kid Cudi's catchy music video for "Make Her Say" featuring Kanye West (of course) and Common.
2. Directed by David Green (PINEAPPLE EXPRESS) the music video for Miles Fisher's cover of The Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place" pays homage to our favorite fictional corporate sociopath, Bernie Madoff Patrick Bateman played by Christian Bale in AMERICAN PYSCHO. Also, note the Lydia Hearst cameo.
3. On one end of the music video spectrum you have expensive video efforts with pricey directors, lots of special effects, and celebrity appearances. On the other end, we have one-man band Roche Limit's kick ass video created using the free Google SketchUp software.
4. Neat animated music video for previously mentioned duo Amadou and Mariam's "Masiteladi."

PAINESVILLE, Ohio — Mary Ann Froebe stood, feet apart with knees slightly bent, and aimed the .22 caliber Ruger semi-automatic.
"You've got some adrenaline running through you right now," said Esther Beris, coordinator of the northeastern Ohio chapter of A Girl and a Gun Women's Shooting League. "It's OK, just relax."
Froebe, 42, a small-business owner who described herself as a "virgin gun shooter," concentrated and pulled the trigger.
"It was awesome," she said, her face flushed, after emptying the 10-round magazine. "The sense of control, of being in charge of me."
In the debate over firearms regulations, the voices of gun owners have largely been those of men. But at firing ranges across the country, a growing number of women are learning to use firearms and honing existing skills.
Women's participation in shooting sports has surged over the last decade, increasing 51.5 percent for target shooting from 2001 to 2011, to just more than 5 million women, and by 41.8 percent for hunting, according to the National Sporting Goods Association.
Gun sales to women have risen in concert.
In a 2012 survey by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, 73 percent of gun dealers said the number of their female customers had gone up in 2011, as did a majority of retailers surveyed in the two previous years.
And manufacturers have increasingly geared advertising toward women, marketing special firearms models with smaller frames, custom colors — pink is a favorite — and accessories like the "salmon kiss" leather "concealed carry" handbag offered by Cobra Firearms, or the leopard shooting gloves and Bullet Rosette jewelry sold by Sweet Shot ("Look cute while you shoot!" is the company's motto).
Women's shooting clubs have also proliferated — not just in small towns like here in Painesville, but in Houston, Atlanta and even New York City, where a women's gun club meets regularly at a firing range in Chelsea, a neighborhood better known for art galleries.
On a recent Friday, Froebe and eight other women attended the Painesville shooting league's inaugural Breakfast and Bullets gathering at Perkins Family Restaurant for brunch and then moved on to Atwell's Shooting Range. There, Beris taught them how to hold and load a handgun safely and then coached them on the range.
Differing motivations
Though they may share a fierce belief in the Second Amendment with their male counterparts, female gun owners often learn to shoot for different reasons, their interest in and proficiency with firearms not just a hobby or a means for self-defense, but a statement of independence and personal power.
Tina Wilson-Cohen, a former Secret Service agent who founded She Can Shoot, another women's league with 10 chapters and 3,000 members across the country, said 90 percent of the women who joined do so because "they've been a victim at one point of their life, of stalking or date rape or domestic violence, or they have just felt so vulnerable, and they want to feel competent and like they can protect themselves."
Firearms also often carry a different meaning for women than for men, who grow up with Hollywood images of guns that tell them "this is what a real man looks like and that's how a real man acts, and it's kind of delusional really," Wilson-Cohen said.
"We don't see women acting like this," she said, adding, "It doesn't have that bad-ass mentality attached to it."
Yet women who shoot recreationally often find themselves confronting the misconceptions of the non-gun-owning public, said Mary Stange, a professor of women's studies and religion at Skidmore College in New York and a co-author of "Gun Women: Firearms and Feminism in Contemporary America."
She said that when Nancy Lanza was identified as the owner of the guns her son Adam used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December, some people seemed to blame her. Lanza, who owned at least five firearms, including a Bushmaster AR-15 style rifle that was used in the shooting, was labeled in a headline as a "gun-crazed mother" and described in some news accounts as "stockpiling an arsenal."
"What strikes me is the way that, rather than really trying to understand what may have been going on, there is this tendency to want to latch onto conventional arguments and stereotypical images," Stange said. "There's this idea that women are more affiliative, more peace-loving, more pacifistic, which should then make women as a group gun averse."
It is difficult to pinpoint how many gun owners in the U.S. are women — the federal government does not break down background checks by demographic, and most manufacturers do not release information on sales. But Peggy Tartaro, editor of Women and Guns magazine, a nonprofit publication of the Second Amendment Foundation, said that she has found estimates varying from 12 million to 17 million.
From both parties
They cross the political spectrum. Stange, who hunts regularly and owns several rifles and shotguns, describes herself as a liberal Democrat.
Of those who attended the breakfast in Painesville, Froebe votes Republican. Terri Herbert, 57, a retired special education teacher who said the nephew of a close friend had been killed in a school shooting, is a registered Democrat. She favors background checks on private sales but opposes a ban on military-style semi-automatic rifles or high-capacity magazines.
"I'm not sure gun control is the answer," she said.
Tamara Wysocki, 52, a caterer, said that she wanted a handgun for protection at her business but would not keep a gun at home. "If you have a gun and they have a gun, somebody's bound to get shot," she said.
Smith & Wesson, which in 1989 introduced a LadySmith line of revolvers, was the first manufacturer to recognize the potential of the women's market, Tartaro said, but other gunmakers soon followed. And the attitudes of men gradually changed, she said.
"Maybe 25 years ago, if you put on your power suit with your floppy bow and marched yourself into a gun club and said, 'Where do I sign up, boys?' you might have gotten a couple of funny looks," Tartaro said. "But now they might say, 'Hey, sit down. What are you interested in? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.' "
Advocates of tighter firearms regulations have argued in the past that advertising by gun manufacturers manipulates women into buying guns for protection. An advertisement by Colt in the 1990s showed a mother tucking a child into bed — "Self-protection is more than your right ... it's your responsibility," the ad said — and academics argued in 1991 in the Whittier Law Review that such ads were intended to trick women.
But Tartaro bridles at the idea that women are not smart enough to decide for themselves whether to buy a gun. After the article appeared, her publication went on the counterattack, running a cover line that said, "Are You Too Stupid to Read This Magazine?"
Yet even some of the most ardent female gun enthusiasts said that the industry had made a misstep in concluding that all women shooters like pink.
Stange called gunmakers' obsession with the color "infantilizing." Wilson-Cohen said "a large majority of females sort of feel like it's a slap in the face" to assume that a pink gun will draw them in.
For her part, Tartaro said, "I don't personally care for it."
But she added that she knew a woman who had a different take, saying, "It's not my favorite color, but I bought it because now my husband never touches it."

Oceanaire Seafood Room - Boston Ratings and Reviews
Went for family birthday celebration. Appreciated Happy Birthday on menus. Nice quiet location (albeit a little cold near the window). Service was very pleasant and engaging. Fancy drinks too sweet, but they make a great straight gin martini. Wine (Pinot Noir) excellent and reasonable. Food was superb. Calamari was light. Brussel sprouts tasty. Bay scallops on risotto truly superb. Haddock, stuffed lobster and yellow tail tuna all were excellent. Baked Alaska for dessert was attractive but otherwise just OK. Still, all in all, a very attractive place with excellent food. Price is steep, but value is good.
I am a loyal Oceanaire/Landry diner. Took my wife here for our anniversary. We both had swordfish which was outstanding. Ordered hash browns as a side dish and they were just awful. Burnt and dry. I not only sent them back, I asked that they be taken off the bill. In my opinion, they should have never served been served. They were that bad.
Bill came with hasbrowns on there and had to ask again. Manager took them off the bill. This put a damper on what was otherwise a very nice meal and evening. Perhaps I am getting to be too fussy in my old age, but the evening was not up to Oceanaire standards
We had a fantastic dinner at Oceanaire, located in an old bank in downtown Boston. The food was outstanding, from the Spicy Tuna Poke to the Seared Nantucket Bay Scallops, to the desserts. (Note: the desserts are huge, and easily feed a minimum of 2 people. We had the cheesecake and the Boston Cream pie, for 4 people and there was more than enough!) The service was outstanding as well. All in all - a great evening and we will be back when we return to Boston.
The clams with bacon appetizer is my favorite. The crab cake and clam chowder has a lighter feel which didn't suit my personal preference of strong seafood taste but not bad. The entries are pretty on point. My family got petit mignon & shrimp, shellfish mixed grill, and swordfish angry style.
Ate with my family during Head of the Charles weekend. Had the fried calamari - excellent drizzle sauce and insertion of sweet peppers, iceberg wedge - real, thick cut bacon makes it, lobster bisque - this was truly fantastic and a real, full-bodied standout with no fishy taste at all, and the shrimp scampi pasta - would have preferred the shrimp wood-grilled, but the garlic sauce was spectacular! We had so much food, unfortunately couldn't dive in on dessert. Great experience overall!
Food was excellent. Oysters, crab cakes and scallop dish were all great. Dessert was a chocolate cake meant for two to share but was so big four people could have shared it.
Service was pretty slow. Our server did a nice job, but we noticed he was also bussing his tables which sort of explains the slow service. We also found a fruit fly in our first drink. The manager came over to our table to apologize. Since we were getting tired of waiting for our server, we asked the manager to bring over our check. To our surprise, they had charged us for the drink with the fly. We pointed that out to the manager, who for a moment seemed to have no idea what we were talking about, and he removed it from the bill.
Overall, it was a nice night out with great food.
We had a lovely retirement lunch for a coworker. Our server was informative and attentive and the food was great. We were seated at a big table in the corner so it felt like our own private space. My favorite part was the sharing desserts. I definitely would come back for special occasions (and of course any occasion lunch.)
Everything we had tonight was phenomenal.
For apps, we got crab cakes and grilled oysters. The crab cakes are juicy and succulent and worth every bite. The oysters were overpowered by the green sauce on them but still delicious and fresh.
3 of my colleagues got the mixed seafood grille which they said was really good and fresh. One other got the steelhead trout and I got the flounder with the rocket shrimp and capers sauce. The founder literally melts in your mouth! Mm.
For dessert, we got the baked Alaska to share between 5 peoples to share which was more than enough.
Overall, I highly recommend this place and thanks to Jared for being an awesome server!
Last night of a New England vacation, booked restaurant based on reviews and proximity to our hotel. For this price point( $150+) service was very disappointing. Took 5+ minutes to be acknowledged at our table, when I asked the server about the different lobster options he was very dismissive and condescending. He only came to our table to get our order for drinks, main course and dessert. Never checked on us after our entree was served other than to see if we wanted dessert. Bread and lobster bisque were excellent. Beet salad tasted more like olive oil than beets. We both had lobster which was average. Split a Boston Creme pie which was generous for 2 and excellent.
The food was very good and the menu had a nice selection of appetizers, specials, entrees and wine. The waiter was very attentive and apologized when our appetizers were slightly delayed in being served. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable dining experience
I was taken on a date at Oceanaire and thought it was quite good. I realize now that the only reason I must have thought it was good was because I love the person I was with.
My parents were in town from Austin and Legal's was booked, so we took them to Oceanaire. We weren't waited on for 8 minutes, the server (Sophie), while, 'pleasant', did not take my father's drink order and assumed the bottle of wine we ordered was only for dinner, so two of us sat there for 20 minutes without a drink - while the others at the table were served there. We had to flag down a waiter to take my father's drink order, and he was very pleasant.
I used to run a seafood food truck for a local business who provides fresh seafood to nearly 400 businesses in the greater New England area - so yes, I am spoiled, but I am also reasonable. The chowder is just okay. My mother's haddock looked invisible on her place - the plate was white, haddock was white, and ONLY garnished with parsley and a lemon - otherwise, NOTHING. I got a salad with seafood - pre-frozen seafood, bland, nothing special. My daughter got oysters which were excellent - but well...how do you screw up oysters? And her house salad was terrible, she took one bite and set it aside.
All in all we were so disappointed and I was thoroughly embarrassed...I should have taken them to Bistro du Midi, Craigie on Main, or even out to Lumiere's where the quality is consistent and the ambiance is spectacular.
Never again.
The room is spectacular and the service was excellent. I had oysters, which were fresh and tasty. There was a good selection to choose from. I ordered the crab Louie salad, which was OK. There was not enough crab meat to warrant the price. My guests enjoyed their lunches, particularly the lobster bisque.
After dining at Oceanair on a business engagement I wanted to experience it on a weekend to see if it was less corporate. The staff was amazing and even more friendly. They remembered it was a birthday and provided us with a complementary baked Alaska. We'll be back.
I went back to Oceanaire as it was always a favorite for client lunches. This time was a disappointment. The $54 halibut was barely edible, insanely salty. I got it enhanced which means with sauce. Mine was shrimp Louie with lemon butter which translated to canned Tiny shrimp with veins and a salt sauce. So disappointing.
The format of the food needs updating. Both our entrees were like a wedding meal at an older country club.
Gorgeous setting but needs a refresh on food and service.
Wonderful restaurant! They have their own exclusive brand of oysters, which I would recommend to anyone (even first time oyster people)! The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Their dinner bread comes with a selections of vegetables as well. Both were great! I ordered the seared tuna which, in my opinion, was AMAZING. Overall, exception food.
I made a point to call and let the restaurant know that I was coming in for my best friend's 40th. while the menu header was a great touch, they forgot to sing happy bdday... the waiter actually brought the dessert menu out for us...I reminded him I wanted the dessert with the fire so that wasn't much of a surprise.

Major works to the cemetery were one of the key projects highlighted at the annual meeting of North Sunderland Parish Council.
In his annual report, Coun Geoffrey Stewart, who was re-elected as chairman, said that the cemetery extension was now almost complete with a new road, turning point and water pipes in place.
However, he also reflected on the major complaints voiced to the county council regarding 'the pitiful state of the 'old' cemetery pillars' as well as its 'cavalier approach' to pruning the old yew trees.
He said that instead of the light pruning in springtime that was requested, the trees were 'decimated and cut in half during the coldest part of the winter inflicting serious damage'.
This wasn't the only criticism levelled at the county council, as Coun Stewart also referred to the state of the roads in the area and the relationship between the authority and parish councils.
"The current system continues to bring parish councils significant and frustrating challenges, both in the lack of clear, effective lines of communication, which we continue to encounter, and also the insidious way the county council is attempting to shift more and more responsibility and costs onto the parish councils," he said.
One area where the county council may be in line for some praise was on the issue of parking.
Coun Stewart said that free parking for the first hour in the village 'is welcomed and effective', although he did add that there are still discussions to be had about the hourly rates.
But there were a number of positives for the parish that he talked about as well.
He was full of praise for the Christmas lights committee and their efforts each year as well as those of Shirley Wright, of the Young Rangers, and the village's youth project in supporting the young people of Seahouses.
"The Community and Sports Centre upgrade has continued to prove its usefulness to our community with the new initiative of the Hub cinema surpassing all expectations," he said.
"Ben Steppenbeck, the project manager, has done a wonderful job."
Coun Stewart was also optimistic about the progress of the Neighbourhood Plan, working with the 'linked communities' of Beadnell and Bambugh.
Coun David Shiel was re-elected as vice-chairman, while the respective councillors will continue their roles as representatives of outside bodies.

I just looked at my newsletter from Mary Shomon I received last week. It talks about the generic thryoid medication shortag & how prices have increased. Glad I switched to Erfa Thyroid from Canada back when Armour was having shortage problems. Hope theirs does not end up going up. It's all because of greed IMO. They just want more money. http://thyroid.about.com/b/2013/08/06/the-wild-west-of-thyroid-drugs-forests-levothroid-discontinued...
The Wild West of Thyroid Drugs:
Forest's Levothroid Discontinued, Levoxyl Recall Continues, Synthroid and Tirosint Prices Rise
The thyroid drug situation is chaotic right now in the U.S., with discontinuations, backorders, and price changes happening at a rapid pace.
According to information from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the Levothroid brand of levothyroxine - made by Forest Pharmaceuticals - is not backordered; it is is actually being discontinued.
Originally, Levothroid was supposedly recalled, with a return to the market scheduled for 2014. But now, all doses and bottle sizes of Levothroid are listed as discontinued as of July 2013, due to the inability of Forest's contract manufacturer to supply the product.
According to a financial website, iStockAnalyst, the FDA had regulatory and quality control concerns regarding the manufacturer, which then stopped manufacturing the levothyroxine drug.
Levothroid's discontinuance comes on the heels of a long-term recall of another brand name levothyroxine, Levoxyl, made by King Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of pharmeceutical giant Pfizer.
According to the Levoxyl website, the drug was recalled after the company received complaints from pharmacists and patients about an odor coming from the Levoxyl bottles. Supposedly, the odor was caused by some sort of oxygen-absorbing canister that helped enhance product stability. At the same time, the company recalled all Levoxyl products, and has indicated that it will be a full year before it can come back on the market...a somewhat unusual move that seems excessive - and perhaps a bit suspicious - under the circumstances.
For patients taking levothyroxine this leaves only brand names Synthroid and Tirosint, and a variety of generics.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that patients are now reporting that prices for both Synthroid and Tirosint have rapidly increased this summer. Some patients with insurance coverage are also complaining that co-pays for Tirosint have just increased, in some cases by double, in just the past month. Until recently, prices for Tirosint were similar to Synthroid.
According to Drug Price Search, currently, a 30-day supply of Tirosint 100 mcg now costs approximately $75. Synthroid costs approximately $34, and generic levothyroxine costs approximately $12.
