Key Software Principles You Must Understand
If you're in software development, new techniques, languages and concepts pop up all of the time.

Quick Tip: Microstock Illustrations with Corel Draw, Tricks and Tips
With the vector software Corel Draw you are able to draw everything you can imagine. However, if you are using it to create illustrations for the microstock agencies – there are some issues that you must take into consideration. The problem comes with the industry requirement to provide an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file, which is mandatory for almost all agencies. See, EPS is Adobe standard and Corel developers don't like Adobe standards very much…

Easy Tips for Shooting the Moon
Pictures of a big moon over a landscape are many times the result of a double exposure. Even when the moon comes closer to Earth, as it did recently, it is too small to fill the frame with normal gear. Still, there are ways to get around the thousands of miles that separate us and our big nightlight.
Building a Narrative Through Photojournalism
Telling visual stories is the work and craft of the photojournalist. I remember it from the first hard news story I covered, back in 1980: a bank robbery that completely defined my future.
Building The Caterpillar 797 In 3D Studio Max – Creating The Tires, Rims, Cabin And Bridge

Fantastic Facial Motion Capture – Tuts+ Premium
In this tutorial, I will be sharing with you how to achieve 2D facial motion capture in After Effects. The technique involves acquiring motion data from dots on a face, and using that motion data to manipulate the position of puppet pins on an image that you want to animate. It's a very useful way of quickly creating detailed animations, and characterizing inanimate objects, like the rock face in the intro. It's also possible to do face replacement.

Quick Tip: How to Make a Snare Roll Generator
Today I will show you my new gadget, and teach you how to make it. A snare roll is an important part of a song. It can be used in many situations: as a creative element of a song or introducing something important like a breakdown. My new toy will reduce the time it takes to create one.
Cures For A Songwriting Slump
Sooner or later, even the most inspired and prolific songwriter will stumble into that dreadful and frightening abyss known as writer's block. To call it frightening is truly not an overstatement when one is attempting to land a writing deal, keep a publisher happy, or best-case scenario, keep the already lucrative royalties flowing. The voice of defeat stirs in every songwriter at some point, first as a murmur and then as a blood-curdling scream.
The Complete Guide To The WordPress Settings API, Part 8: Validation, Sanitisation, and Input II
We've reached the final article of the series. In the last post, we took a look at introducing validation, sanitization, and a couple of basic input elements that we can take advantage of when building option pages.
Quick Tip: Conditionally Including JS and CSS With get_current_screen
As many stated before me: "A good WordPress citizen only loads their files where they're needed". This principle applies both to front-end and back-end (admin). There's no justification for loading CSS and JS files on every admin page when you only need them on one single page you created. Thankfully doing things the right way is only one function call away.
Adding Post Series Functionality to WordPress With Taxonomies
Ever wrote a "post series" on your blog? If you did, you probably needed to add the links of the other parts of the series into the latest post you wrote. Each time you finished a new part, you had to update the link list of the other parts. There has to be an easier way, right?
iOS SDK: UIKit Theme Customization
Theme customization is a great way to stand out in the App Store, but it isn't always easy to achieve. This tutorial will teach you several basic UIKit customization tricks that will help distinguish your applications and create more memorable user experiences.

then you just need a bootable root and bin image that you can find from the internet then pass the required root=/dev/hda1 or whatever to the kernel to boot from your hard disk. finally rerun lilo
Glyn Tim Heinz wrote:
Hi, I have a laptop without floppy/cdrom -- it only claims to be able to boot from usb-fdd which seems to be the same as usb-zip (at least in BIOS it was fdd and afterwards he asked me if I wanted to boot from my harddisk or usb-zip). I foolishly killed my linux partition and now Lilo only dais "LI" and that's it. So to get the thing going again I'd need a ZIP-DISK that is directly bootable via USB -- it does not need to be any fancy as long as it has an fdisk or a lilo on it, that allows me to clean my master boot record (so I could boot back into winXP and run loadlin). Would anybody know where to get such a ZIP? The only other option I see is to remove the hard disk from the laptop and attach it via a 2.5"->3.5" adapter to my desktop machine and overwrite the MBR there -- hope that is not necessary. On the internet I only found stuff about how to boot from USB-Sticks, whcih did not work for me. My Laptop is a JVC MP-XP7210. thanks tim

Disney has released the first International teaser poster for John Lee Hancock's "Saving Mr. Banks", which you can see below. It's the true story of how Walt Disney got "Mary Poppins" made. Apparently it was quite a struggle for the chap, because the writer didn't want it to happen. Go figure, a writer NOT wanting to get a movie made from her book.
Oh, the '60s. It was a much more innocent time, then.
When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' "Mary Poppins," he made them a promise—one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation. For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn't budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp. It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Starring Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell, Ruth Wilson, Rachel Griffiths, Annie Buckley, Bradley Whitford, Jason Schwartzman, B.J. Novak, Paul Giamatti, and Kathy Baker.
Saving Mary Poppins in theaters this December 13th.

Author has written 11 stories for Heroes, CSI: New York, Moonlight, Black Donnellys, Criminal Minds, Harry Potter, Bones, Supernatural, and NCIS.
Name: Kat.
I love to write. And no, I'm not stopping there. I write stories, poems, and lyrics. I write stories for myself. If others don't like it, I don't really care. I enjoy writing what I like and I would never tell others how I think their story should go or what I think they should do with their story. I love to sing as well. I think I have a pretty good singing voice, even if my high school chorus teacher thought otherwise. Of course, she doesn't hear me singing my soft rock songs now, does she? I have an average intelligence. Basically, I'm not a genius, nor am I mentally incapable of understanding what you say. Sometimes though, I am pretty slow, I will admit that. But, of course, some people see this as funny, so I do as well. Music is a pretty big passion. Basically, over the years, it has saved my life and helped shaped me into who I am. So there are a lot of bands and solo artists I do listen to.
I also have two Quizilla accounts that I haven't checked out much lately: FluffyKitty06 & ScreamingKitten08
TV Shows I watch include: Chuck, Heroes, NCIS, Bones, Criminal Minds, CSI:NY, Numb3rs, and other random shows.
TV Shows I used to watch before the evil dickheads of the world canceled them were: Tru Calling, Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and The Black Donnellys.
Random music I listen to includes: Alanis Morissette, All Time Low, Anjani Thomas, Annie Lennox, Ashlee Simpson, Avril Lavigne, Be Your Own Pet, Breaking Benjamin, Donna Lewis, Evanescence, Fall Out Boy, Fiona Apple, Flyleaf, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Jonas Brothers, Kelly, Kelly Clarkson, Kerli, kidneythieves, Kittie, Krystal Meyers, Lifehouse, Linkin Park, Matchbox Twenty, Miley Cyrus, Natalie Imbruglia, Natasha Bedingfield, Nickelback, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Oasis, Panic! At the Disco, Paramore, Pat Benatar, Paula Cole, Pearl Jam, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Simple Plan, SR-71, Three Days Grace, Weezer, Within Temptation, etc.
Random things I like to read include: Harry Potter (of course), anything by Lois Duncan and Melody Carlson, and other random books. lol.
Close friends of mine are: Shawni, Teresa, Kaylee, Casper (real person, not a ghost, also known as Chris), Sarah, Whitney, and Jess.
Lindsey: Kat, did you wake up late or something?
(Teresa, Casper, Whitney, Sarah, and I are walking through our local mall. Teresa and Sarah are right in front of us, their arms linked. I look over to Casper)
(Teresa, Casper, and I were at Hot Topic in the mall a few weeks later, and Casper was being a goof and trying on the wristbands there)
(Casper, Teresa, and I at a Chinese Buffet later that evening)
(Teresa, Sarah, and I are in Sarah's basement on the computer. I rub the back of my neck)

Last year The Gospel Coalition celebrated its 10th anniversary.
While grateful for the many things accomplished over the last decade, we pray for continued faithfulness as we seek gospel-centered renewal today and for the coming generation.
So, what will it look like for TGC to continue seeking reformation according to Scripture?
We posed this question in a new roundtable video to TGC co-founders Don Carson and Tim Keller, along with Council member John Piper.
Carson takes a step back and considers the word "reform," which can have antiquarian baggage for many. Citing the example of Richard Baxter's The Reformed Pastor (which for Baxter meant "renewed" pastor), he urges to think in terms of Scripture-shaped renewal. Faithfulness to TGC's Foundation Documents, according to Piper, must be rooted in constant examination of God's Word. By doing so, we will have true reform and renewal with whatever challenges we face in the future.
Watch (or listen below) to the 10-minute conversation as these leaders discuss the heart of TGC conferences, fresh discoveries of truth when the gospel moves into a new culture, the holy joy of diverse unity in Christ, and more.
Editors' note: We're pleased to announce that TGC's 2017 National Conference will be held in Indianapolis from April 3 to 5 on the theme of "No Other Gospel: Reformation 500 & Beyond," marking the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Registration will open next month, when we'll make a more formal announcement.

Amazing Pole Dancer Walking on Air
Pole Dancing is a lot like disarming a bomb: either you're a seasoned pro, or you're going to severely injure yourself. The pole dancer in this video is of the former variety. Pole dancing has developed a sleezy reputation because dirty strippers often pole dance in exchange for sweaty dollar bills, but it takes a lot of skill to pole dance well. Three cheers for pole dancing!

Chamberlain, Gordon share ride from Little League to major leagues
DETROIT — Little League teammates dream of someday playing together in the major leagues. It's an aspiration that usually fades by the time they finish high school. But for Joba Chamberlain and Alex Gordon, the dream was realized.
Chamberlain is one of the game's most dependable relievers for the Detroit Tigers, while Gordon is a Gold Glove left fielder for the Kansas City Royals. And their trip to the majors began 20 years ago as Little League opponents in Lincoln, Neb.
"I've played with or against Alex since I was 7," said Chamberlain, 27. "And we became teammates when we were 11 and 12, and playing for the Lincoln Rebels. When we got to high school, we were at rival schools. I was at Lincoln Northeast and he was at Lincoln Southeast."
Chamberlain pitched at Division II University of Nebraska-Kearney in 2004 before joining Gordon back in their hometown at the University of Nebraska.
"We'd played at rival high schools," Gordon said, "and the improvement he made in the one year before coming to Nebraska was incredible. It was like a total transformation."
Chamberlain helped Gordon, who won several national player of the year awards, lead the Cornhuskers to the College World Series in 2005. They split games with Arizona State and lost to Florida to get eliminated and end a dream season. Chamberlain was 10-2 with a 2.81 ERA, and had 13 strikeouts in a Super Regional win over Miami.
Chamberlain was drafted 41st overall in the 2006 draft by the New York Yankees after the Royals made Gordon the second overall pick in 2005.
"Alex was always better than everybody else at every level we played at," Chamberlain said. "When we were like 10 years old, Alex made an error on a ball that went right through his legs and we thought the world was ending."
Gordon laughed when Chamberlain's memory of that error was relayed.
"But my favorite memory of Alex was when he got thrown out of the Super Regional qualifier with Miami," Chamberlain said. "He's in a shirt and shorts in photos of our celebration after that game.
"But the time when we met in September when we were both in the big leagues for the first time was really big, too."
Gordon is 2-for-4 off Chamberlain with one strikeout, and they would've squared off in Wednesday's game had Chamberlain not gotten Billy Butler to hit into an inning-ending double in the eighth. Gordon was scratched from Thursday's starting lineup with flu-like symptoms.

Xbox LIVE Marketplace now called Xbox Games Store
When heading over to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace you may notice something a bit different. It has been rebranded as the Xbox Games Store. You can see the change now by logging into your Xbox console or heading over to the Xbox homepage.
Joystiq reached out to Microsoft to clarify that the switch wasn't a mistake. A spokesperson confirmed, "That's right, [Xbox Live Marketplace] is now called the Xbox Games Store, and will sit alongside the Xbox Music Store and Xbox Video Store. This is to make it easier for consumers to find content both on Xbox 360 today and Xbox One when it launches in November."
In attempt to streamline its services heading into the launch of the Xbox One, Microsoft also recently switched from Microsoft Points to real-world local currency on Xbox LIVE.

In addition to clinical and research rotations, there are a variety of conferences to enhance the fellows' learning opportunities including a weekly Tumor Board, weekly Hematology conference and a monthly Journal Club. There are weekly didactic lectures focusing on topics in Hematology, Oncology and Transplants as well as a Joint Fellowship Curriculum run through the Department of Pediatrics. Fellows are strongly encouraged to attend Pediatric Grand Rounds and Professors rounds.
The Joint Fellowship Curriculum is overseen by the Department of Pediatrics and reviews certain basic concepts, including development of research design, abstract and manuscript preparation, basic biostatistics, quality improvement, professionalism, communication, teaching, administration and leadership, and career counseling, including the balance of work and family life. This core curriculum is designed to address both the academic requirements mandated by the American Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the career and personal development goals expressed by our fellows.
The goal of the JFC is to provide an excellent educational experience to all fellows in the Department of Pediatrics through case-based, hands-on curriculum modules based on the needs of each year of fellowship (F-1, F-2 and F-3).
As junior faculty members, fellows are expected to supervise and teach pediatric residents and medical students in the care of pediatric oncology, hematology and transplant patients. Several teaching and speaking opportunities are available to create a well-rounded learning portfolio.
As part of their fellowship training, fellows will be provided with instruction in clinical teaching skills. Fellows will supervise 2-4 residents each month and a variable number of medical students assigning tasks and reviewing consultation notes before presenting to the attending faculty. In the second and third years of the fellowship fellows will present monthly on a variety of core lecture topics to rotating residents. They will develop necessary communication and teaching skills.

The bill would boost the basic amount that Minnesota schools get for each student by 2 percent next year, and 1 percent the following year. It would also increase special education funding by more than $300 million, a key priority for Senate Democrats.
DFL Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark of St. Cloud says that money will help school districts pay the rising costs of special education programs.
"We would have liked to have seen more resources," she said. "We believe that our school districts have been having to pay for special education that the state had committed to pay for, we were trying to fix that, we didn't get quite all the way there."
But Gov. Pawlenty doesn't share the Senate's desire to put more than a third of the new education spending into special education. Spokesman Brian McClung says the governor would rather put more money on the general education formula that schools get for each student.
"We want to make sure that schools are fairly funded across the state," McClung said. "The general education formula does that in a more broad manner. And so theirs is more targeted to specific school districts, and particularly in Minneapolis and St. Paul."
Pawlenty's budget proposed a 2 percent increase in the basic funding formula in each of the next two years. McClung says DFL leaders put together their education bill without the governor's approval, and there's no guarantee he'll sign it.
The bill does fully fund Q-Comp, Gov. Pawlenty's performance pay for teachers program. But it doesn't have any money for his high school reform proposal. It does includes more money for advanced placement and international baccalaureate programs that the governor supports.
"The governor ram-rodded through every one of his proposals in this bill ... The details, of course, were done in a very unsatisfactory matter, but this is the governor's bill," said Rep. Mindy Greiling, DFL-Roseville, the chair of the House K-12 Finance Committee. She says there's no reason for the governor to veto the bill.
Pawlenty spokesman McClung notes that legislators write the bills, not the governor's office.
Legislative leaders say the education package makes some strides in early childhood funding, although nothing close to the calls for statewide all-day kindergarten and a significant expansion of preschool programs that were heard before the session started.
The bill would increase funding for all-day kindergarten by more than $30 million, but that's not enough to expand full-day kindergarten statewide. It does not fund the governor's proposal for preschool scholarships for low-income children, although legislative leaders say a $6 million pilot program is in another budget bill.
Education advocates are putting a positive spin on the bill, although it's clear it falls short of their expectations. Charlie Kyte, executive director of the Minnesota Association of School Administrators, admits he wasn't happy with the bill as negotiations were wrapping up Sunday night.
"I was really quite upset, feeling like once again, the schools were stuck in mediocrity in terms of funding," he said. "I kind of calmed down overnight and analyzed what was possible, and decided that the best thing for us as school leaders is to try to make the best we can."
Kyte says the special education funding will help school districts across the state. But he says the general education formula increase of 2 percent the first year and 1 percent the second will create serious problems for districts in the second year of the budget.
Kyte had called for a tax increase to pay for more education spending, but Gov. Pawlenty rejected the Legislature's attempt to raise income taxes.

Reader Polls: Which Marvel Movies Are You Most Anticipating?
Marvel Comics continues to make regular headlines in the feature film department. Just today the first image featuring actor Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 surfaced. A few weeks ago the leads of the 2011 Thor movie were announced. And just within the last few days Marvel's President of Production Kevin Feige announced a new Marvel movie slated for 2012 (presumably previously unannounced) that would be revealed within the next few months.
So that got us to wondering of the upcoming Marvel movies with a relatively firm release date over the next few years, which is our readers most looking forward to?
And while we have you on the line, we thought we'd take the opportunity in our first ever double poll to see which new movie (from a list of a few of our own guesses) would you'd most like to see Marvel announce this summer for a 2012 release?
Of course, if you don't see one in the list of choices and have any ideas of your own, you can share them with your fellow fans and readers in the comments section.
So please take part if our polls if you're inclined (you don't have to be a Newsarama registered member) and stick around to discuss your ideas or the results…

Any lingering fears that Patrick Stump's second chin had imbued him, Samson-like, with his precocious musical talent have thus far proved unfounded – and a good thing, too, because the weight appears to be staying off and the erstwhile Fall Out Boy frontman has a solo career to launch.
As a prelude to the release of his first album on his lonesome, Soul Punk, in February Stump put together a fairly impressive medley of Grammy-nominated tracks, performed a capella with the man himself providing back-up vocals. Impressively, it's all done on camera, so we quite literally get to see Stumpy playing with himself – he performs a fluid mash of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' 'Empire State of Mind,' Eminem and Rihanna's 'Love the Way You Lie,' Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now,' B.o.B. and Bruno Mars' 'Nothin' on You' and Cee-Lo's 'Fuck You' (mercifully uncensored).
It's interesting to note that Stump's studio looks more like an oversized emptied closet than a state-of-the-art recording space, though perhaps that's fitting given his rather unfortunate choice of clothing.

Elyria Pioneers
COACH: Venera Ilievski, 6th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Bailey Andress, sr., GK; Cheyenne Gutierrez, sr., F; Kaleigh Plato, sr., D; Haylie Davis, jr., D, Monica Banks, jr., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: Andress, an all-conference and All-Lorain County goalkeeper, allowed just 24 goals while making 178 saves as a junior. Elyria has an experienced defense led by Plato and Davis, both of whom were all-conference. The Pioneers' talent and leadership on the back line should keep them in every game. If Gutierrez and the rest of the front line can consistently find the back of the net it could be a breakout year for Elyria.
Lorain Titans
COACH: Michelle Hilko, 2nd year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Tiyana Lighy, sr., F; Danielle Montanez, sr., GK-D; Anissa Brooks, sr., M-D; Haley Morris, jr., D; Jasmin Cruz, sr., F; Cassandra Shaffer, so., D; Sharae Woolfork, jr. M-D; Chelsea Ibarra, sr., D; Kelsey Drwal, sr., M; Tiffany McClelland, sr., M-D
SCOUTING REPORT: The Titans will have a veteran defense and an explosive midfield. Montanez, one of seven returning seniors, will take over the goalkeeping duties. In addition to a tough Lake Erie League schedule, Lorain will have key midseason games at Elyria and North Royalton to help it get ready for tournament play.
Black River Pirates
COACH: Maria Blakesslee, 2nd year
2010 RECORD: 0-9 as an independent
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Ali Verovitz, sr., D; Kayla Finkel, sr., M-F; Ruth Muich, sr., M; Lula Mosley, sr., D; Leah Sprague, sr., GK; Jenna Periandri, sr., M-F; Nicole Heilman, jr., M-F; Sydney Wagner, jr., M-F; Brooke Wright, jr., M; Chelsea Black, jr., F; Courtney Massie, so., D; Angie Kazek, so., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: It will be the Pirates' second year as a varsity program and first playing a Patriot Athletic Conference schedule. Sprague has been with the program since it started and is poised to have a big senior year in goal. Black River will be looking at Wagner and Finkel to provide much of its offense.
Brookside Cardinals
COACH: Zoran Cancar, 1st year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Melanie McCowan, sr., GK; Sara Porter, so., M-D; Halle Brillhart, sr., D; Katie Burian, sr., D; Chavonne Chin, sr., F-D; Kalee Burton, sr., M-D; Taylor Byers, jr., F-D; Ashley Clough, jr., F; Caila Light, jr., F; Christie Tchompalov, sr., F; Danielle Hunt, sr., F; Bryanna Bonnett, sr., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Cardinals have a senior-laden team that has played together a long time. Hunt, McCoan and Burian all earned all-conference honors last season. New coach Zoran Cancar has the pieces in place to make this one of Brookside's most successful seasons in recent history.
Firelands Falcons
COACH: Andy Marsh, 5th year
2010 RECORD: 11-7-0, 2-5-0 in West Shore Conference
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Cassie Mungia, sr., GK; Jessica Zurcher, jr., F; Rebecca Kozlowski, sr., F; Kayla Fowler, jr., F; Kathrine Galik, sr., D; Rachel Holowecky, jr., M; Haleigh Bari, so., M; Abigail Miller, jr., M; Karlie Canfield, jr., D; Randi Bukovac, jr., D; Jordan Yakunovich, jr., M; Jade Amanse, so., D; Mackenzie Lahetta, sr., F; Alyssa Melendez, so., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: Zurcher was the Falcons' leading scorer with 28 goals last year, earning first-team honors from the Greater Cleveland Soccer Coaches Association. Kozlowski earned second-team honors, while scoring 11 goals. Muniga had six shutouts and 116 saves. Firelands has had a rash of early season injuries, but if they can get healthy they should make a run at the division title.
Keystone Wildcats
COACH: Tim Giesel, 1st year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Alyson Broschk, sr., M-F; Beth Shinsky, sr., D-M, Jamie Stokely, sr., GK; Sami Cyrus, sr., D; Cheyanne Cooper, so., M-F; Paige Jamerson-Foster, so., M; Samantha Tompkins, so., M; Kelly Sherlock, so., M.
SCOUTING REPORT: Broschk, an All-Lorain County performer in 2010 with 16 goals, will lead a talented offense. But the Wildcats are a young team, lacking depth at key positions. The defense, led by Shinsky and Cyrus, will need to mature quickly if Keystone is going to make a run in the PAC.
Wellington Dukes
COACH: Kevin Ziegler, 10th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Jacoby Ziegler, sr., F; Hannah Huelsman, sr., GK; Grace Dooley, jr., D; Megan King, jr., D; Anna Derrick, jr., D; Katie Rosemark, jr., M; Jennifer Echstenkamper, so., M; Michaela Price, so., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: 2010 Lorain County Division II Player of the Year Jacoby Ziegler, who scored 28 goals in 19 games, and goalkeeper Hannah Huelsman are the only seniors on the roster. Wellington's defense is led by second-team All-Lorain County junior Grace Dooley. If the Dukes can stay healthy, expect them to battle for a PAC title.
Columbia Raiders
COACH: John Talley, 2nd year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Alexis Bycynski, so., D; Gabi Loos, jr., M-GK; Ariana Loos, so., M-D; Kristen Bouscher, so., D-F; Barb Rapacz, sr., D; Cheyanne Frosti, sr., M-D; Ashley Arendash, sr., M-F.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Raiders lost their top scorer and starting goalkeeper to graduation, meaning they will rely on a defense led by Bycynski and Rapacz to keep the pressure off freshman goalkeeper Jordan Paine. Depth will be a concern for the Raiders as the season progresses.
Oberlin Phoenix
COACH: Ben Eiskamp, 1st year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Shekinah Centanni, sr., M; Rhema Centanni, sr., M; Brittany Crowley, sr., F; Angela Hudnell, sr., D; Abby Hicks, so., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: After graduating nine seniors, Oberlin will be one of the youngest teams in the area. Fortunately, the Phoenix play five of their first seven matches at home so they will have an opportunity to pull off some confidence-building wins.
Southwestern Conference
Amherst Comets
COACH: Roseanne Kuncel, 5th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Brittany Sands, sr., M; Ashley Ferguson, jr., GK; Brianna Shagovac, jr., F; Mia Haslage, jr., M; Amber Slavik, jr., M; Lauren Bennett, so., M; Sheridan Champe, so., F; Kylie Haslage, so., D; Julie Lacock, so., D; Hayley Lepkowski, so., M; Lexi O'Connor, so., F; Gabby Semon, so., M.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Comets will be a strong defensive team with Ferguson, who had a 1.28 goals-against average and made 111 saves. With 13 returning letterwinners, Amherst has the most experienced team it has fielded in recent memory. Expect the Comets to improve on last year's record and get their share of wins in a tough Southwestern Conference.
Avon Lake Shoregals
COACH: Kiko Lopez, 4th year
2010 RECORD: 12-4-1, 6-0-1 SWC champs
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Jillian Strimbu, sr., M; Dana Strimbu, sr., GK; Cheyenne Luckstein, sr., D; Annie Lyons, sr., D; Taylor Nedrich, sr., M; Danielle Liszka, sr., D-M; Lindsay Quintero, sr., D; Rachel Gates, sr., M; Rachel Gates, sr., M; Emily O'Conner, so; F; Kailey McClain, jr. M; Christine Gates, jr., M; Paige Glasser, sr., D; Jocelyn Spitz, sr., M; Haley Mills, sr., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: Expectations are high. Dana Strimbu had five shutouts and made 101 saves earning second team All-SWC honors. Jillian Strimbu led the Shoregals in goals with 17, while O'Conner had 12 as a freshman. Both earned a spot on the All-Lorain County first team. Avon Lake also has one of the best defenses in the county to complement its offensive firepower. If the Shoregals stay healthy they can make a deep tournament run.
West Shore Conference
Avon Eagles
COACH: Tony Dimacchia, 4th year
2010 RECORD: 15-3-1, 6-0-1 WSC champs
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Natalie Wilden, sr., M-D; Kelsey Lawler, so., M-F; Megan Garner, sr., M-F; Sydney Simpson, sr., M-D; Holly Ohradzansky, sr., M-D; Kaitlin Patterson, sr., M; Nicole Chabot, jr., F; Christina Petrillo, jr., M; Lauren Kapalko, jr., M; Emilie Wetzig, jr., M; Kayla Wysocki, jr., F; Hannah Winger, sr., D; Holly Kraus, sr., GK.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Eagles lost Lorain County Division I Player of the Year Devon Saini to graduation but return 13 letterwinners, including second team All-Greater Cleveland goalkeeper Holly Kraus. Avon is a veteran team with one of the best defenses in the area. Non-league road games at Hathaway Brown, Westlake and Magnificat should have the Eagles ready to soar come tournament time.
Elyria Catholic Panthers
COACH: Tony Rozanc, 2nd year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Danielle Loparo sr., F; Brigid Griffin, sr., F; Katie Niemiec, sr., D; Gabey Thomas, sr., D; Marisa Ternes, sr., GK; Andrea Scarpelli, sr., M; Lauren Wisnor, jr., D; Emily Winfield, jr., M; Jessica Richards, jr., M; McKenzie Rozanc, so., D; Danielle Dziak, so., M; Kathleen Newman, so. D; Katie Gauntner, so., GK; Tricia Gauntner, so., D; Anastazja Golab, so., D
SCOUTING REPORT: The Panthers return seven starters and will also get back junior Lauren Wisnor, who missed her sophomore season due to injury. Last season's top two scorers, Griffin and Loparo, also return in addition to the core of the defense. With a move to the West Shore Conference and a move down to the newly created Division III, it could be a big year for the Panthers.
Midview Middies
COACH: Josh Moore, 6th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Katrina Beckloff, sr., D; Casey Flemming, sr., M; Haley Radolec, sr., M; Kayla Hirschfelder, jr., M; Sam Bauer, so.; M; Torie Benton, so., F; Amanda Beusken so, M; Morgan Bowman, so. F; Kaysy Heyde, so., F; Allie Giese, so., M; Rachel Maver, so., D; Rachel Lusher, so., D; Kayla Keesecker, so., M; Savannah Dubber, so., D; Taylor Ceh, so., GK.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Middies are looking to build on a 2010 season that was their best in a decade. Benton scored seven goals as a freshman and Ceh had nine shutouts. Although Midview is still a young team, its experience could propel the Middies to the upper reaches of the West Shore Conference.
North Ridgeville Rangers
COACH: Bryan Asp, 4th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Kaleigh Asp, sr., M-F; Shayna Asp, sr., F; Isabella Mercurio, sr., D; Marissa Austin, sr., D; Dakota Crumley, jr., M-F; Stephanie Moser, jr., D; Samantha Wiles, jr., GK; Elizabeth Browning, so., M-F; Sumer Cape, so., F; Emily Lesniak, so., D; Shelby Pyle, so., M-F; Sydney Ramage, so., M-F; Kayla Zingale, so., M-F.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Rangers will be a quick, aggressive squad led by senior Kaleigh Asp, who was a second-team all-conference and All-Lorain County performer as a junior. With 13 returning letterwinners the Rangers hope to improve on last season's struggles in West Shore Conference play.
Vermilion Sailors
COACH: Lindsey Domonkos, 4th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Ali Kowal, so., M; Emily Innes, so., D; Erin Strittmather, sr., M-F; Hannah Bartlome, so., M; Jade Bauer, sr., D; Kathleen McCurdy, so., D; Kelsey Craig, sr., GK, Rachel Terschak, jr., M-D; Rhems Nicoll, jr., D; Savannah Kuntz, jr., M-F; Taylor Spalding, sr., D; Kalynn Smith, jr., M-F.
SCOUTING REPORT: Craig is coming off a season in which she made 117 saves, while Nicoll and Spalding were both honorable mention All-Lorain County as juniors, so defense should not be a problem for the Sailors.
Lake Ridge Lions
COACH: Tara Bowen, 4th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Sam Potoczak, sr., D; Marlena D'Amico, sr., M; Bryanna Daniel, sr., D; Kayla Daniel, sr., F; Devin Sponsseller, sr., M; Claire O'Neil, so., M-F; Lyndsey Davis, so., M-F; Kacie Gregory, M-F; Sabine Decatur, so., D.
SCOUTING REPORT: With a core group of seniors led by Kayla Daniel, who had eight goals and 10 assists as a junior, the Lions will look to repeat last year's tournament run to the district finals. Lake Ridge will play an ambitious independent schedule featuring Division II state runner-up Hathaway Brown and a rematch of the district semifinal showdown with Lutheran West.
Open Door Patriots
COACH: Linda Varady, 9th year
RETURNING LETTERWINNERS: Julia Miraldi, sr., M; Courtney Smith, sr., D, Kaitlyn Haas, sr., D; Tori Baus, sr., D; Sarah Cox, sr., M, Allison Courtney, jr., GK; Brianna Bryant, jr., M; Bailey Hamilton, so., M.
SCOUTING REPORT: Miraldi, a first-team All-Lorain County center-midfielder as a junior, will look to have another big season. Courtney, who recorded 157 saves last season, is one of the best goalkeepers in the newly created Division III. With eight returning letterwinners it could be a breakout year for the Patriots, but a lack of depth could quickly derail the season if injuries begin to mount.
Bailey Andress, sr., Elyria (below)
Had 178 saves last year while allowing just 1.5 goals per match.
Jillian Strimbu, sr., Avon Lake
Scored 17 goals and earned first-team all-county honors as a junior.
Jessica Zurcher, jr., Firelands
Scored 28 goals as a sophomore. With another year of experience under her belt she could easily average two goals a match this season.
Holly Kraus, sr., Avon
Second-team All-Greater Cleveland goalkeeper had 12 shutouts last year, including six in West Shore Conference play.
Jacoby Ziegler, sr., Wellington
Scored 28 goals while earning Lorain County Division II Player of the Year honors last season.
Avon Eagles
Expect the defending West Shore Conference champs to defend their title.
Avon Lake Shoregals
Have plenty of firepower to defend their Southwestern Conference championship.
Elyria Catholic Panthers
The move to the West Shore Conference should prepare the Panthers for a deep postseason run in the new Division III.
Wellington Dukes
The Dukes only have two seniors in the starting lineup, but should still have the talent to light up the scoreboard.
Midview Middies
Went 10-5-2 a year ago and could improve on those numbers thanks to a veteran lineup that includes 15 returnees.
Hathaway Brown at Lake Ridge, Sept. 7
The defending Division II state runners-up will provide a stern test for a veteran Lake Ridge team that advanced to district finals last fall.
Elyria Catholic vs. Elyria at Ely Stadium, Sept. 10
The Panthers took the Elyria Cup last year on their home field. Can they make it two in a row?
Wellington at Buckeye, Sept. 10
The top teams in the Patriot Athletic League battle in an early season showdown.
Bay at Avon, Sept. 21
The winner of this game will have a leg up in the WSC race.
Magnificat at Avon Lake, Oct. 8
The Blue Streaks ended Avon Lake's season with a 2-1 win in last year's sectional final.

With a 13 for 18, two touchdown performance in the dress rehearsal game against the Bengals under his belt, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has his sights set on September 8 and the regular season opener against the Giants at AT&T Stadium.
Romo, who missed most of the offseason after undergoing cyst removal surgery on his back, said at this point, his health is no issue.
"Yeah, we're good to go," Romo said, per the Dallas Morning News. "I'm 100 percent."
There's still almost two weeks until the opener, but the Dallas signal caller doesn't plan on wasting any time in preparing for Eli Manning and co.
"[Preparation work for the Giants] will probably start tonight or tomorrow morning," Romo said after Saturday night's victory over Cincinnati. "I think more than anything, I've sprinkled in a little bit but now I'm going to get real tightened up as far as a little more situational than an overview per se. I think the team will probably wait until the middle of the week but more than anything my stuff will start here this weekend."

Wanted to post an update about the BFM cable. I had some friends in the electrical engineering department at my local university and we were able to read and determine the chip manufacturer with out taking the cable apart. It is using Win Chip Head, Chinese based company, usb chip for communication and not the common FTDI Taiwan chips used in everything else. I have a funny feeling BFM was supplying the FTDI drivers with the a cable that had a completely different chip manufacturer which requires different drivers which still do not work. I bought two different VAGCOM OBD2 cables off ebay with FTDI chips and both work right out of the box, its amazing what happens when you have legit silicon in there. Anyway I wanted to make people aware of the latest cables from BFM housing WinChipHead chips instead of the more common FTDI chips which have proven very reliable and trouble free. I would not recommend the BFM cable at this time due to the inability of the cable to communicate with RomRaider and other software with the supplied drivers from BFM and the correct Chinese drivers and this was tested on four different computers. It will be interesting to see how the conversation progresses when I place a call about this issue to BFM later this week. Now you are more informed and I hope I saved someone from some future frustration and heartache.

Charge up with a Ljusa hand-powered USB charger
Materials: IKEA Ljusa hand powered flashlight
How many times have you been without a battery? I often! I then decided to hack the nice coffee grinder shaped IKEA Ljusa hand powered flashlight.
The procedure was simple it was enough to eliminate some resistors and use a capacitor sufficient to handle the charge given by the Ljusa's dynamo.
I set the output voltage to 5 volts, and I installed a USB socket. It only remained to modify the body of the torch. Then I printed the bottom of Lyusa filament transparent leaving only the space for the female USB plug.
The result you can see in the photos. Quite nice!
Now I will never be out of battery power, simply just a bit of "movement" and the batteries of my electronic devices will be charged … at least for the time of a call.
See more of the handpowered USB charger.
2 Responses to Charge up with a Ljusa hand-powered USB charger
I would love a step to step howto for this..
Love the Idea want to do it but cant read much out of the Video..
Does somebody know where the how to is?
Of course this is several times larger and heavier than a contemporary rechargeable USB battery that can fully recharge a phone … but that's hardly the point of the exercise. Nicely done.

Bow hunting ordinance off-target?
Should bow hunters be allowed to take aim in Newport to help control what city officials say is a growing deer population?
City council members recently said yes, giving the OK for licensed hunters to practice their sport in rural residential neighborhoods on the north and east fringes of the city. But residents of the hilly, wooded areas where hunters can now take aim say bow hunting Bambi means they'll have to worry about stray arrows and trespassing hunters.
It's solution to the rising numbers of deer in the city, said city administrator Brian Anderson. He says the city has received a steady stream of deer-related complaints -- from siding being chewed off homes, to gardens gutted by hungry deer.
Neighboring cities Cottage Grove and Woodbury already have archery hunting ordinances on the books. That has likely driven more deer into Newport, Anderson said.
"The deer had to go someplace where there's no pressure," he added. "That's Newport, unfortunately."
How many deer?
But there's one hitch in the city's claim that the deer population in Newport is out of control: they don't actually know. City officials admit no deer count has been done, and that they have no population estimate.
A Minnesota Department of Natural Resources survey would have cost the city thousands, Anderson said.
Residents opposed to the plan jumped on that point at a hearing on the ordinance last month.
"How do we say we have a problem if we don't know how many deer we have?" said one resident who said he has lived in Newport for 44 years. He added: "I've lived here a long time. They eat my stuff, too. You know what I say? That's the way it goes."
Most residents who argued against the ordinance said they wouldn't feel safe with hunting happening so close to home.
"I could be standing in my back yard and get hit by an arrow," one woman told the council.
City officials countered the complaints by saying the ordinance lays out strict guidelines that ensure safety, including:
-- Hunting is only permitted on parcels five acres or larger
-- Hunters must be licensed by state
-- A 20-foot buffer zone between property lines where hunting is not allowed
'Can't be done safely?'
The ordinance also includes a requirement that hunters pass a proficiency test, after councilmember Tom Ingemann pushed for its inclusion. Mayor Tim Geraghty disagreed, saying it would "add another layer of bureaucracy."
Under the ordinance, hunters must receive permission from property owners to hunt on the land, and property owners can have their property removed from the map. A number of residents signaled at last month's meeting they would do just that, creating large pockets of no-go zones and making it a less attractive option to hunters.
City Council members OK'd the ordinance unanimously over the objections, saying the city needs to put a check on the deer population.
"I just don't understand why it can be done safety in Woodbury, safely in Cottage Grove ... safely in dozens of other metro cities," said council member Pauline Schottmuller in response to the protests, "and it can't be done safely in Newport?"

The United States is prepared to take targeted steps to ease sanctions banning the export of U.S. financial services and investment in Myanmar to respond to progress in the Southeast Asian country's democratic transition, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.
Clinton said the United States was also ready to enact other measures to encourage democratic reforms in Myanmar, saying this month's successful parliamentary by-elections represented real change in the country after decades of military rule.
"We fully recognize and embrace the progress that has taken place and we will continue our policy of engagement," Clinton said in a statement to reporters.
The Obama administration has promised Myanmar's leaders that it would match "action for action" in response to democratic reforms, and the package Clinton unveiled on Wednesday reflected a modest first step toward lifting the complex web of U.S. sanctions that have kept the country isolated for decades.
Clinton said the United States would seek to name a new U.S. ambassador to Myanmar after an absence of two decades, establish a Myanmar office of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and support a "normal country program" for Myanmar by the U.N. Development Program.
She said the United States would also allow private U.S. aid groups to pursue a broad range of nonprofit activities in Myanmar on projects such as democracy building, health and education.
Select Myanmar government officials and lawmakers will also receive permission to visit the United States, she said, relaxing a long-standing visa ban.
Clinton said the United States was also committed to "beginning the process of a targeted easing of our ban on the export of U.S. financial services and investment as part of a broader effort to help accelerate economic modernization and political reform."
Economic analysts say that it will take time for the United States to unravel the full scope of its sanctions on Myanmar, first imposed in 1988 and subsequently expanded by five laws and four presidential directives.
While some sanctions can be lifted by fiat, others are tied to specific progress on issues ranging from drug trafficking and money laundering to preventing the use of child soldiers – making them more difficult to remove.
Clinton, who visited Myanmar in December, said the government's continued efforts toward political reform were "precisely the kind of step" that the Obama administration hoped to encourage when it began its outreach to Myanmar last year.
The April 1 parliamentary by-elections, which saw Myanmar pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi gain a seat in the lower house and a landslide win for other members of her party, were "a dramatic demonstration of popular will," she said.
"The United States is committed to taking steps alongside the Burmese government and people as they move down the road of reform and development," Clinton said.

Some 65 detectives from the anti-terrorist and other divisions of the Los Angeles Police Department have been assigned to investigate arson attacks on two synagogues and two other houses of worship in Encino.
Early Wednesday morning, apparently a single perpetrator hurled an incendiary device through a stained-glass window of the sanctuary of Valley Beth Shalom (VBS), one of the city's leading Conservative congregations.
The device landed only 10 feet from the ark holding five Torah scrolls and set fire to a carpet. The smoke triggered the automatic sprinklers, dousing the fire but causing some water damage.
Rabbi Harold Schulweis, the congregation's spiritual leader, praised the quick work of the custodians.
"Without any instructions, these men and women, mainly Hispanic Catholics, rushed to the ark and carried the scrolls to safety," he said.
Two days earlier, arson had struck the Iranian Synagogue, a storefront congregation on Ventura Boulevard, singeing the roof. A passerby called the fire department, which prevented further damage. No one could be reached at the synagogue.
The same day, an arson fire was set at the Baha'i Faith Community Center in the same neighborhood and, two weeks earlier, the First Presbyterian Church of Encino sustained the most damage in a similar attack.
Despite the 6:30 a.m. fire at VBS, toddlers and their parents arrived for preschool sessions a few hours later, and the morning prayer meeting proceeded normally.
However, due to the sanctuary damage, Shabbat services were to be held at another location, said Jeffrey Levine, the VBS board chairman.
Assignment of the large police force, augmented by fire department investigators, FBI and other federal agents, indicated the seriousness of the incidents in the eyes of city officials.
At a press conference outside VBS, Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn pledged that the city and federal government will "not tolerate these acts of terrorism and hatred.... We will use all necessary resources to protect our houses of worship and the perpetrators will be brought to justice."
L.A. Fire Department Chief William Bamattre said that preliminary evidence seemed to indicate that a single individual set all four fires.
Asked if there was any sign that the synagogue fires might have been set in connection with the Jewish community's observances of Holocaust Remembrance Day and Israel Independence Day, Bamattre said that so far there was no such evidence.
L.A. Police Chief William Bratton termed the investigation a top priority for his department and asked the public to report to police any leads or any suspicious activities around synagogues and churches.
City Councilman Jack Weiss, whose district encompasses the four houses of worship, said he is asking the City Council to post a $25,000 reward for the apprehension and conviction of the arsonist.
Schulweis told The Journal that he was touched by the concern shown by neighbors of the synagogue. A representative of the Wells Fargo bank branch across the street showed up early in the morning to present a $5,000 check to Levine.
There have also been a series of calls from the district attorney and other municipal and county officials.
On Thursday evening, Schulweis was to convene a meeting of the entire congregation at a neighboring church or synagogue to talk about the incident and allay excessive fears.
"All of us have been religiously violated," Schulweis told the news conference.
Rabbi Allen Freehling, representing the L.A. County Human Relations Committee, declared that "no peddler of hate can divide this community."
Gennady Shtern, Valley director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), was on the scene and pledged the full ADL resources to aid law enforcement and Jewish institutions.
The San Fernando Valley Interfaith Council has designated May 16-18 as a weekend of reconciliation for all area congregations, and announced a fund to repair the damage at the four houses of worship.
Donations and equipment should be sent to the Valley Interfaith Council, 10824 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Chatsworth, CA 91311. Check should
indicate "synagogue support fund" on the memo line.

Metal-film fuses are surface-mountable
Post a comment
Atlanta - Wickmann USA's newest FCD series surface-mount chip fuses use metal film technology on a heat-resistant and nonflammable ceramic substrate to offer what the company said is greater heat and shock tolerance than other glass-substrate surface-mount fuses. The devices feature a low internal dc resistance, critical in the protection of sensitive low-voltage equipment. Metal film material is economical but exhibits stable and repeatable fusing characteristics, according to Wickmann.
The FCD family covers the complete EIA standard footprint range of 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1206. The smallest available size-the 0402 footprint-is the best solution for any application where miniaturization is the primary need, the company said. Current ratings range from 250 mA to 5 A, with rated operating voltages up to 50 Vdc. Terminations of the fuses are plated with a tin/lead coating and are compatible with IR reflow installation processes. Lead-free versions are due later this year. UL approves all FCD fuses, which ship in blister tape-and-reel packaging. Unit pricing is 12 cents each in OEM quantities.

edgallow (162) nashville, Tennessee | July 8, 2012
We go here a couple of times a year. They have a good selection of draft beer, noting spectacular. Service has always been good, it is just a little pricey for pizza. But the pizza is real good.
shadey (91) Nashville, Tennessee | June 11, 2015
I have described Mellow Mushroom as an upgraded version of Pizza Hut. The pizzas are greasy and heavy, but taste a lot better than Pizza Hut and have higher quality options. The beer selection is decent considering the rapid growth in selection at most restaurants. Price is certainly not a bargain, but not outrageous.
Suttree (222) Knoxville, Tennessee | October 5, 2014
Pretty much your standard Mellow Mushroom experience - Kind of a forced eclectic atmosphere, Good service, decent selection with a few locals, and reasonable prices. You know what you're getting into...
mermaidjuice (10) MT. Dora, Florida | May 15, 2012
Every couple of years I visit here while traveling. We have always had a above par visit here. Last time the Bartender was a beer enthusiast and when we asked where were the Dogfish Head brews his classic response will never be forgotten..."The day DFH pulled out of Tennessee I cried"
allfreej (76) Louisville, Kentucky | December 8, 2010
Ambiance was typical Mellow Mushroom pizzeria. That said, it's a confortable place to go to eat and drink. The bar service is great. haven't sat in the table area. The selection includes a couple of decent regional offerings from Yazoo, Sweetwater, and Highland Brewing. The pizza is really good, as are the sandwiches. The value is really great if you hit them during their 3pm-8pm Happy Hour. All drafts are 1/2 price, and were reasonably priced to begin with. I liked it. I've been several times and have never had an issue with off-flavored beer. While not extensive,they offer several highly rated brews.
Rustyham (106) St. Petersburg, Florida | October 16, 2010
I have only been to one other Mellow Mushroom- the one in Murfreesboro, and that one was much better. This place is tiny, and the beer selection was more lame than the Murf. location. I order Yazoo Hop-project and it was obvious that the lines had not been cleaned. It tasted like, dust and Cardboard. The GF ordered JuJu Ginger, which was alright. the food aint so great either. Don't bother with this place.
NachlamSie (813) Denver, Colorado | September 13, 2010
Typical and approachable ambiance for the chain, though on the conservative side. There is a nice marble top bar and a good Nashville beer selection. Nice array of Yazoo with a Rye Squared, Highland porter, Sweetwater 420 etc. Not a standout beer destination for the city but meets the need for good beer if you're in the immediate area.
Butters (188) Richmond, Virginia | December 28, 2008
Located near Vanderbilt and only a stones throw from boscos and belcourt theater. Of all the MMs Ive been to, this one doesnt rank very highly on the list. Parking is nearly non-existent. They do offer valet parking, but the attendant was nowhere to be found when I visited. The emphasis on *good beer* that is a staple of many locations, seems to be lacking here. Still a few respectable beer choices, but not quite as many local or micro brews. The young staff also didnt seem to know very much about beers. But the pizza is as good as the others. Definitely a hangout for the college kids who want to grab a slice and drink Fat Tire.

Wasps exhibited their growing play-off credentials by taking the scalp of champions Harlequins in thrilling game that was ultimately decided by three missed penalties from Nick Evans.
The Harlequins fly-half, normally so unflappable, had a rare bad day at the office, missing routine shots at goal and throwing an intercept pass to Tom Varndell for the game's opening try.
Evans performed below his high standards but Wasps seemed to exceed theirs, producing a display of spirit and grit that has so often evaded them in the five years since they last won the title.
"We showed some good stuff in attack but the real pleasing thing was our spirit in defence to hold them out," said Wasps' director of rugby Dai Young.
Quins found themselves 7-0 down after just seven minutes when Varndell picked off Evans's loose pass and sprinted home untouched from 45 metres. Six minutes later the lead was doubled when Christian Wade took a scoring pass from Chris Bell and touched down by the posts following good work from Elliot Daly on the right wing.
Harlequins responded with a penalty from Evans and used the one-man advantage that followed the sending to the sin-bin of Bell in the 18th minute to pull a try back through Matt Hopper. The Quins centre gathered his own grubber down the left wing to score under the posts after Wasps full-back Hugo Southwell kicked fresh air in his attempt to get the ball off the field in the corner.
The only points of the second half came via a penalty apiece from Robinson and Evans but the two misses from the former All Black were of greater significance.
