- Top 25 for sureuniqueinindyDined on 9/13/2014Excellent food, excellent value. I had scallops - which were prepared perfectly! My son had the "cull" lobster (his first lobster) and really enjoyed the meal. Great local "feel" and ambiance. Service was great, and complete staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Would suggest to all for sure.Special Features:
- Date night first time thereDiningoutDined on 9/12/2014We went on our date night and found it perfect. We will be back to try the other dishes on the menu. We will be telling our other (couple) friends about it and also going with them for an evening with them to visit, hangout and enjoy the evening out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lobster, Lobster, Lobster!!!!!LobstaLuvvaDined on 9/6/2014If you can't get up to Maine, then this is the next place around here to get a real lobster fix.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great overall!ChuzeeDined on 9/6/2014Third time to Lefty's. Food is always great. Service is always great. It has an east coast feel. We love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was good, but smokyMikeDined on 9/5/2014We went to Lefty's based on the reviews and the food was pretty good. The steak and lobster were both better than average and the service was very good. However, there is a bar inside the restaurant and smoking is allowed at that bar. The evening we ate there had a fair amount of smokers and that somewhat ruined the meal.
- I Lilke Lefty'sscauseyDined on 8/31/2014Price was reasonable for lobster. It was cooked right and tasted good. Not the best I've had but good. Lobster Bisque was average. Good atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistentdoug123Dined on 8/28/2014We eat at Lefty's a few times a year and always wonder when we are leaving why we don't come here more often. The food is always great and the service is excellent. Our last visit we had Brent and he was a charmer. Quick service, professional demeanor, and most importantly a great personality. And he gives you honest feedback on the specials. We always get annoyed when the waitstaff just says everything is great. And of course he stated "in his opinion" which is what we are asking for. Fun night and a relaxing dinnerSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently goodLlbbtx1Dined on 8/28/2014Lefty's has been around for a long time and continues to serve good food in a nice, friendly environment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Great!TxpupsDined on 8/23/2014Always great food and service. Friendly neighborhood hidden gem. Fresh seafood and delicious steaks and chicken. Generous portions and great weekly/daily specials on fresh catch items. One of our favorite weekend dining spots for years.Special Features:

- Reservation is meaninglessOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/16/2014The food is great, but we were seated an hour after out reservation time. Very enjoyable meal, but just be ready to wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lefty's is greatss66Dined on 8/8/2014Great seafood at a reasonable price. Stuffed snapper was outstanding as was Lefty's pasta. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Way too noisykirkwobDined on 8/8/2014This place started off wrong from the beginning. We could not hear each other from across the table. Waiter even had problem hearing us. They didn't have my wife's first two drink choices and while they had one of my favorite wines, I would not say they have a "notable" wine list. It was not a good place to take my wife after being out of town for two weeks. After all that, the food was OK and the service was adequate.
- It was ok, but nothing special.MiMiJ36Dined on 8/8/2014I had the shrimp scampi, the flavor was ok once I added salt and pepper, the shrimp had a slight funky taste to them, but they were huge. The scampi sauce was a little runny but it was plated beautifully. My husband had the fried shrimp basket, no complaints from him. My daughter got a cheese burger, she said it was very good. The waitress could have been more attentive. When we got there the place wasn't busy at all, yet it took a while for our order to be taken and I had to ask for bread for the table. I did not get a bubbly feeling from her at all. Over all the food was good, but it isn't something I'd crave to go back for.Special Features:
- Zack19ZackDined on 8/2/2014I love it here. Everything is always good. Be sure to try the puff pastry appetizer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoxyDined on 8/2/2014Food was great and they accommodated the special seating request which was much appreciated. It's a small, very busy little restaurant, and thus the noise level is pretty high so where we were seated on the outer part of the dining area was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/2/2014will eat here again. great lobster bisque and snow crabSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just as others have saidPappyDaPimpDined on 8/1/2014Tried this place by chance. Personally, I can't stand seafood so I was very pleased that this place does not have one hint of fishy odor what so ever. Everything is so fresh. Even with a packed dining area the place smelled like the wood timbers. Service was EXCELLENT! Seated immediately, drinks brought right away, questions answered and suggestions given upon request. Never felt rushed at any point of the experience. And the lobster... Mind blowing. I started this review by saying I don't like seafood, but this visit has seriously made me reconsider that statement. Even if I don't like seafood, I sure like Leftys! I will definitely be coming back. Drinks are a little pricy, but are made stronger than you might anticipateSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindBillDined on 8/1/2014We've eaten here twice, both special occasions and will continue to go back. Our favorite, the lobster. It is loud, and sometimes quite busy especially on a weekend.Special Features:
- Best casual seafood in townCelebrationDined on 7/29/2014Wouldn't go anywhere else for lo BBC ster. O t steps even out of season were amazing. Owner and chef are very particular about what they bring in. I had soft shell crab. Out of this worldSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good FoodSkyGodSamDined on 7/27/2014I recently went to Lefty's because everywhere was packed. Had been before, but it's been a while. Was reminded again of the outstanding food. Will definitely have to start going there again...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gooddinDined on 7/26/2014The service was a little slow. It took a while to get our appetizer's. But the food is always good. Love the energy in this place.Special Features:

- Seafood OasisKazualKazDined on 7/19/2014A seafood gem that is fantastic. Our family has been going there for a number of years for birthdays, anniversarys, and special occasions . Suggest you make reservations.Special Features:
- Always Great!PamandBobDined on 7/19/2014Although it seems a little out of the way, Lefty's is always busy, always great food. Their lobster dinners are fresh and so tasty. The stuffed baked shrimp is a real treat. The fresh baked bread and salads were good starters. And the coconut cream pie...yum! We tried the peach pie for the first time and it was excellent. Fun place!
- Awesome seafoodplanomomDined on 7/18/2014Lefty's reminds me of a "joint" in Boston or some other cool seaside city. Intimate with lots of atmosphere. Something not found in most restaurants in North Dallas. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Don't miss it! The best crab legs I have had in years!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/9/2014Best lobster deal in the area. Great service as well.Special Features:
- IronmanMike49Dined on 7/8/2014My wife and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary . We had a large table and away from front door. The service was excellent and the food delicious . We like this place very much as it's an older crowd , not many children dining. It is very hard today to find any restaurant that you can a romantic dinner. My only suggestion is that the music could be turned down alittle. Many of the diners came by to wish us a happy anniversary. How nice!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food well preparedkev1918csDined on 7/8/2014Food was outstanding - oysters fresh, briny and cold. Had a nice filet of sea bass, flaky and well prepared with king crab and a white wine sauce. On the downside, arrived at 6pm and service dropped off completely when what seemed to be a bombardment of patrons by 7pm - which only supports my review of the food. Nevertheless, was willing to wait for the check after that meal. Want a Northeast seafood experience in Dallas? it's the closest you'll get to a Boston favorite without having to park at DFW.Special Features:
- Seafood "Shak"foodchemistDined on 7/3/2014Food is cooked perfectly and with care. Fresh Seafood is Key. Chef Specials are always unique and spot on with creativity and flavor. Relaxed atmosphere where you can feel comfortable in shorts and t-shirt or go decked out for a boating trip. Service is excellent from caring staff that knows the food. Excellent place for a New England style Seafood Fix, but they also know their way around Gulf and Pacific Seafood specials as well. Enjoy!!Special Features:
- Awesome DishSteveVIPDined on 6/28/2014The salmon entree with jalepeno pesto topped with crab was awesome!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmbitiousTravelerDined on 6/21/2014Lefty's was ok, however, there are much better places to have sea food in Dallas. The ambience was dated, the food was acceptable i.e. the steamed claims had an excellent broth but the bread was meh reducing the whole experience. The sauce on my fish entre was delish but the fish itself was not as described in the menu (deep fried, not pan fried) and only fair on its own. Overall, not somewhere I will be returning to.Special Features:
- Good foodGarboDined on 6/21/2014Food is fresh and good.reservation were almost on time. Very friendly place.service is prompt.Special Features:
- To satisfy your Lobster YearningLobsterloverDined on 6/20/2014When we have a need for a lobster evening, Lefty's is the place of choice. I have never ordered anything other than lobster, although the orders of other diners looks great. At 7 PM on Friday evening the place is chaotic- (We had to wait 30 minutes after our reservation time to get a table) and the noise level was very high. However, the meal was great, the service was satisfactory and we will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

CHICAGO – With J.J. Abrams not involved with the creation of a third "Star Trek" movie, a compendium of his work within the franchise only seems fitting. Loaded with special features but only a few new ones, this disc set is a strong choice for those who don't already have both entertaining blockbusters in their collection.

Blu-Ray Review: Beloved 'True Grit' Remake in Bonus-Packed EditionSubmitted by BrianTT on June 21, 2011 - 3:48pm
CHICAGO – With the highest domestic gross of the entire career of the beloved Coen brothers (over $170 million domestically, ranking #13 for 2010 releases) and an amazing ten Oscar nominations, "True Grit" was easily one of the most popular films of the last year. I had some issues with the piece overall but I'm ecstatic that a piece like this one outgrossed so many of the more obviously commercial entries from the holiday season. It serves as proof that quality can still be profitable and the excellent Blu-ray release from Paramount treats the film's many fans with appropriate respect.

Rated 4 out of 5�by BernieG12 Good Product Would work better if it was just the straight rod with out the handle but still works great. September 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Brian Did its job My son broke the lacing on his glove. He (wisely) chose to buy this product vs. buy a new glove. It was a little hard to thread the lace into the lacing tool, but once we accomplished that, it was easy to repair the broken section. Worth the cost & effort. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jerry Great In-Store service Wes Russ, the baseball guy, re-stitched a broken pocket in my son's 1st baseman's glove. It was a major help, as I hadn't been able to find anyone with his knowledge/ability to fix the glove. It was a great experience, putting Dick's on a level above other sports stores in the area. Thanks. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tmsdance Extend the life of your glove We were so clad this item was in stock even though it is not baseball season. It did its job and was easy to use. it extended the life of our baseball glove. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Scottie Got the job done Used to relace my thirteen year old glove. Would hate to replace the glove. Great fix. The lacing tool could use better precision on lace end September 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by BallardFam Broke in half within minutes of use. The tool snapped in half, just above the handle, while I was using it for the first time. Thankfully, I used the end that broke off to feed the leather through the part of the glove that came loose. I will be returning the device today. September 3, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by Ralph Couldn't Have Done the Job without the Rawlings Glove Lacing Kit Although, re-lacing a glove is no easy task, I couldn't see performing this repair without the lacing kit. It worked extremely well and the glove is back to looking new!! August 5, 2014

"This greeting is unique and so different from the others! It was a must have for us. Quality and design were excellent! Thanks for making our birth announcements memorable!"
"We adore how these cards turned out. We ended up using them for our birth announcement even though he was born in April and it worked very well. The colors are very vibrant and the photo quality is excellent."
"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"
"We just received our birth announcements in the mail yesterday (very quick turn around from the time I ordered to the time they showed up on my doorstep). They look wonderful! Very professional looking. We debated having the photographer who took newborn pictures of our little one design our birth announcements, but I am glad we didn't go that route. These look great!"
"I was thrilled with the results of our son's birth announcement. This design is timeless and I loved being able to include our daughter as well. Service and quality are top-notch. I highly recommend the free designer review at checkout. I didn't notice any delay in shipping and it was nice having a extra pre-printing review (especially for this sleepy momma)."

Rafa claims injury-time blew away Chelsea in 2-2 draw with Liverpool
4/22/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Chelsea's interim boss Rafael Benitez claims the match officials were the reason behind the club losing two valuable points against Liverpool on Sunday. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who played the role of a hero and a villain against Chelsea, scored less than 30 seconds away from the final whistle in injury of seven minutes.
Chelsea midfielder Oscar drew first blood for Chelsea by heading the ball past Pepe Reina following an inch-perfect cross from Juan Mata on a penalty corner. Daniel Sturridge leveled the playing field with an impeccable finish on Luis Suarez's lofted pass.
The game took an interesting turn when Luis Suarez gave away a penalty-kick to Chelsea for ball handling. Eden Hazard made no mistake in converting the spot-kick into a goal. Chelsea led the game once again and looked destined to win it, but Luis Suarez intervened. The Uruguayan headed on a cross from Daniel Sturridge to end the game at 2-2.
"I was disappointed with the late goal conceded," said a fuming Rafael Benitez. "Especially because I can't understand why there were six minutes and 45 seconds [stoppage time] - a very strange decision.
"Some games you have six substitutions and they say three or four minutes. In this case six minutes, a throw-in for us and the game was over, and still 45 seconds more. It is difficult to explain.
"We have to analyze why we didn't stop the cross and why Liverpool scored, but still in the normal circumstances we would have finished the game having won against a good team. They were pushing but we were defending well and had our chances in counter-attack in terms of dangerous situations.
"Sometimes when they try to explain added time they put substitutions as 30 seconds, sometimes they say 40 seconds, sometimes one minute - but every single game you have three or four minutes added, five minutes if it is a lengthy incident - but six minutes 45 seconds?"
Luis Suarez stole the spotlight away from Rafael Benitez, although it was the Spaniard's first visit to Anfield. The Uruguayan striker was a hot topic, not just because he scored a goal, but because he was caught on camera biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
"I didn't see the incident so I am disappointed with the late goal," Rafael Beniez added. "A lot of people are telling me this and that but I didn't see. For me the headline would be why six minutes and 45 seconds, that is the only one I have to understand."

Recent Seagrove Beach Reviews
We had the best time in this immaculate and beautifully decorated 1 bedroom carriage house! We stayed in Destin the first part of the week and then came to Lil Palmetto...will stay the whole vacation next time! Loved that it is in a quiet neighborhood within a few minutes walk to their beach access directly across 30A. Very relaxing to feel secluded yet so close to everything. Donna and Nate are lovely, wonderful hosts! Very nice that the umbrella and chairs, bikes are available. We used the grill, and loved the pool! There is also a public beach access just a block down the road that has a parking lot, bathrooms, and ramped boardwalk to beach if you decide to drive to beach. Its just the perfect vacation spot for two, wouldn't change a thing! We are looking at fall dates now and feeling blessed to have stumbled on this treasure!
Absolutely Fabulous!!!
This was the first time we, as a family, had ever rented a house. To say we were impressed was an understatement. The house was immaculate! The neighborhood is beautiful and it is SO quiet! (which is exactly what we wanted) If you are looking for the "hustle bustle tourist shuffle" then move on. Cassine Garden is a quiet secluded community that offers just the right amount of everything. The beach is a genuine 5 minute walk. And the other beaches are only a few minutes drive East or West down 30A. We would hit the beach early in the morning, come back to the house and jump in the car to go exploring. At the end of a long day of adventure it was wonderful to come back to the quiet neighborhood and open a bottle of wine on the front porch. It was simply wonderful.

Three men are under arrest after another Craigslist robbery.
The latest case happened Sunday night in the 400 block of South 28th Street in South Bend. A mother and her son were responding to a Craigslist ad for a moped. When they arrived at the designated meeting place, the mother was robbed at gunpoint at around 7:15 p.m.
The suspects got away with about $1,000, credit cards and other personal belongings.
A woman who lives a few houses down from where the robbery occurred, but requested to remain anonymous, said she saw an unfamiliar car pull up to a house. Then she noticed a woman, and who appeared to be her son, running back to their vehicle.
Police arrived to interview the victim, but the suspects had already fled the scene. Two possible suspects were spotted running toward the Courtyard Apartments, the site of a similar robbery last week involving the sale of a moped.
"We have not taken a moped in as evidence," said Lt. Scott Hanley, from South Bend Police. "We just have copies of the moped ads. Both are the Zuma mopeds."
Residents at the apartment complex helped police track down three men. Terrance Peterson, 25, Jermain Suggs, 29, and Keith Anderson, 19, were arrested. Formal charges are expected to be filed Tuesday.
Two of the men have had addresses at the apartment complex in the past but it is still unclear if they are currently living there, according to police. One of the men does have a criminal history.
Just last week, Newscenter 16 looked into other robberies that followed this same story-line. One victim arrived at the Courtyard Apartments to pick up a moped advertised on Craigslist and later was robbed at gunpoint as well. Investigators are currently trying to piece together information to determine if several robberies involving internet ads are related.
"There are a few cases that go back a month," Hanley said. "But it has become very prevalent in the past two weeks."
Recent robberies involving an online component mostly involve victims from out of town. Lt. Hanley is currently looking into cases where people were lured to South Bend from Plymouth, Elkhart and the Niles area.
"There have been six victims in the last two weeks," Hanley said.

CES 2013 recap: Apps and autonomous cars
Automakers had a large presence at the technology trade show, but still struggled to move at the tech industry's rapid speed.
More than any auto show, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is the place to gauge the future of car technology. It's only been in the past half-decade that automakers have begun attending the annual gadget fest in droves. But in that short time, it's become the venue that many car companies choose to debut their most cutting-edge technologies
Two trends stood out at CES 2013: applications and autonomous vehicles. The former are finally becoming available in greater numbers, but automakers are still well behind the rest of the mobile-technology world in regard to apps. The latter are still several years off, but automakers could fall behind in getting the technology out to the market.
Ford announced the release of close to a dozen new apps, three years after it introduced the AppLink feature for its Sync system at CES, with only a handful of apps in the interim. Motown rival General Motors also introduced a smattering of new apps for its infotainment platforms.
More importantly, Ford and GM both announced at CES that they are opening their software interfaces and dashboards to outside developers, in the same way that mobile-device innovators such as Apple and Google opened their platforms to third-party developers many years ago. Ford even went a step further by announcing that Sync AppLink would be available to any automaker that chooses to use it. The goal is to create a larger, Androidlike app platform for the car, in the hope that developers will prefer not hassling with separate apps for each automaker's proprietary platform.
While apps are where it's at, some wonder whether automakers have missed the boat on the app craze. While the mobile-technology world -- and consumers -- may soon be on to the next new thing, automakers could once again be left behind and playing catch-up.
Autonomous driving was the other big buzz at CES. Audi made news the day before the show started by becoming the first automaker to be granted a license to operate an autonomous car on public roads by Nevada. Audi also had a demonstration of what it calls "piloted driving" in its CES booth. Lexus unveiled its own autonomous test car at the show.
If you speak with any automaker currently developing autonomous-driving technology -- and mention Google's rapid gains in the field -- it will tell you that the auto industry has been working on this for decades. This is true. Google, of course, isn't constrained by the same liability issues that concern automakers, nor does it have to bother considering whether the technology is marketable.
Audi declared at its CES press conference that we'll have autonomous cars by the end of the decade, and GM has made a similar statement in the past.
The auto industry has always been an engine of innovation for U.S. technology, and the profusion of driver-assist safety systems -- such as Toyota's Lane Keep Assist and Audi's active cruise control with Stop & Go -- are providing the steppingstones for autonomous driving. But now that technology such as mobile apps is becoming more important to car consumers, automakers will have to lead instead of follow. The fact that they are showing up at CES to be part of the larger tech world is a good start, but they'll also need to move at the speed of the top tech innovators to stay ahead.
Doug Newcomb has been covering car technology for more than 20 years for outlets ranging from Rolling Stone to Edmunds.com. In 2008, he published his first book, "Car Audio for Dummies" (Wiley). He lives and drives in Hood River, Ore., with his wife and two kids, who share his passion for cars and car technology, especially driving and listening to music.
Google, Mercedes also can now test self-driving tech in California.
Cars are cool, and here at MSN Autos we love everything about them, but we also know they're more than simply speed and style: a car is an essential tool, a much-needed accessory to help you get through your day-to-day life. What you drive is also one of the most important investments you can make, so we'll help you navigate your way through the car buying and ownership experiences.

In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang (simplified Chinese: 阴阳; traditional Chinese: 陰陽; pinyin: yīnyáng), which is often called "yin and yang",[1][2][3][4] is used to describe how opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many natural dualities (such as light and dark, high and low, hot and cold, fire and water, life and death, male and female, sun and moon, and so on) are thought of as physical manifestations of the yin-yang concept. The concept lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine,[5] and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), qigong (Chi Kung), and I Ching.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (instead of opposing) forces interacting to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation.
In Taoist metaphysics, good-bad distinctions and other dichotomous moral judgments are perceptual, not real; so, yin-yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu, (c. 2nd century BC) a moral dimension is attached to the yin-yang idea.[6]
In Daoist philosophy, dark and light, yin and yang, arrive in the Dàodéjīng (道德經) at chapter 42.[7] It becomes sensible from an initial quiescence or emptiness (wuji, sometimes symbolized by an empty circle), and continues moving until quiescence is reached again. For instance, dropping a stone in a calm pool of water will simultaneously raise waves and lower troughs between them, and[citation needed] this alternation of high and low points in the water will radiate outward until the movement dissipates and the pool is calm once more. Yin and yang thus are always opposite and equal qualities. Further, whenever one quality reaches its peak, it will naturally begin to transform into the opposite quality: for example, grain that reaches its full height in summer (fully yang) will produce seeds and die back in winter (fully yin) in an endless cycle.
It is impossible to talk about yin or yang without some reference to the opposite, since yin and yang are bound together as parts of a mutual whole (for example, there cannot be the bottom of the foot without the top). A way to illustrate this idea is[citation needed] to postulate the notion of a race with only men or only women; this race would disappear in a single generation. Yet, men and women together create new generations that allow the race they mutually create (and mutually come from) to survive. The interaction of the two gives birth to things, like manhood.[8] Yin and yang transform each other: like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall. Thus, a seed will sprout from the earth and grow upwards towards the sky—an intrinsically yang movement. Then, when it reaches its full potential height, it will fall. Also, the growth of the top seeks light, while roots grow in darkness.
Many places in China, such as Luoyang, contain the word yang, and a few, such as Huayin, contain the word yin. This is a very old way to assign place names.
Classically, when used in place names, yang refers to the "sunny side." The word 太陽 (simplified 太阳), tàiyáng, refers to the sun, and literally means "great yang." In the northern hemisphere, sunlight comes predominantly from the south, and so the south face of a mountain (or the north face of a river valley) will get more direct sunlight. Therefore, yang means a place is on the south slope of a mountain (or on the north bank of a river valley). For example, Luoyang is on the north bank of the Luo River valley.
In the same way, yin would be the opposite, the "shady side." Yin means that a place is on the north slope of a mountain (or on the south bank of a river). For example, Huayin is on the north slope of Mount Hua.
Yin is the black side with the white dot in it, and yang is the white side with the black dot in it. The relationship between yin and yang is often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and a valley. Yin (literally the 'shady place' or 'north slope') is the dark area occluded by the mountain's bulk, while yang (literally the 'sunny place' or 'south slope') is the brightly lit portion. As the sun moves across the sky, yin and yang gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed.
Yin is characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity, and nighttime.
Yang, by contrast, is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.[9]
Yin and yang applies to the human body. In traditional Chinese medicine good health is directly related to the balance between yin and yang qualities within oneself.[10] If yin and yang become unbalanced, one of the qualities is considered deficient or has vacuity.
In the I Ching (1,000 BC and before),[11] yin and yang are represented by broken and solid lines: yin is broken (⚋) and yang is solid (⚊). These are then combined into trigrams, which are more yang or more yin depending on the number of broken and solid lines (e.g., ☰ is heavily yang, while ☷ is heavily yin), and trigrams are combined into hexagrams (e.g. ䷕ and ䷟). The relative positions and numbers of yin and yang lines within the trigrams determines the meaning of a trigram, and in hexagrams the upper trigram is considered yang with respect to the lower trigram, allowing complex depictions of interrelations.
The principle of yin and yang is represented in Taoism by the Taijitu (literally "diagram of the supreme ultimate"). The term is commonly used to mean the simple "divided circle" form, but may refer to any of several schematic diagrams representing these principles, such as the swastika, common to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Similar symbols have also appeared in other cultures, such as in Celtic art and Roman shield markings.[12][13][14]
Taijiquan, a form of martial art, is often described as the principles of yin and yang applied to the human body and an animal body. Wu Jianquan, a famous Chinese martial arts teacher, described Taijiquan as follows:
Various people have offered different explanations for the name Taijiquan. Some have said: – 'In terms of self-cultivation, one must train from a state of movement towards a state of stillness. Taiji comes about through the balance of yin and yang. In terms of the art of attack and defense then, in the context of the changes of full and empty, one is constantly internally latent, not outwardly expressive, as if the yin and yang of Taiji have not yet divided apart.' Others say: 'Every movement of Taijiquan is based on circles, just like the shape of a Taijitu. Therefore, it is called Taijiquan.
— Wu Jianquan, The International Magazine of T'ai Chi Ch'uan[15]

RUSTENBURG, South Africa (AP) -- Didier Drogba will not start Ivory Coast's match against Tunisia at the African Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Coach Sabri Lamouchi did not include the striker in the starting lineup for the Group D match in Rustenburg. No official reason was immediately given.
Drogba was on the field during the team's warmup and did not appear injured.
The former Chelsea striker was quiet in the team's opening win against Togo, being substituted in the 74th minute.
The Ivory Coast captain for the match against Tunisia was listed as midfielder Didier Zokora.

Mused - Yes the response is bratty, and I think they could have found a less vitriolic post to respond to on this topic...but I think people are just getting really frustrated. I don't entirely blame them.
Yes, training new art asset creators can take a time - but I am sure there are plenty of people out there with the necessary degree and skill set to do so once they're oriented with whatever proprietary software Blizz is (likely) using.
I've worked in animation -- having the basic skill-set needed goes leaps and bounds into helping one learn the ropes of a company really quickly. Blizz isn't going to hire concept artists to train how to do model work / rigging -- they're going to hire the animation / game design students that already have that prior knowledge.
And damn if I don't know plenty of people in those industries that would kill for a job right now!

Synopsis: Caroline and Lloyd (Judy Davis and Kevin Spacey) are a married couple constantly at each other's throats, masters at crafting acid-tongued barbs at the other's expense. Indeed, they are so obsessed with belittling each other that they never stop -- not even at gunpoint. Such is the premise of the acerbic comedy The Ref, which shows what happens when this quarrelsome duo is taken hostage. The gunman is Gus (Denis Leary), a thief on the run from the police, who kidnaps the couple as an insurance policy, ... Full Synopsis

(Flexible Sigmoidoscopy, Proctosigmoidoscopy, Proctoscopy, Anoscopy)
A sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows the doctor to examine the lower one-third of the large intestine. Sigmoidoscopy is helpful in identifying the causes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, abnormal growths, and bleeding. It may also be used to obtain biopsies and to perform procedures, such as removal of polyps or hemorrhoids. Sigmoidoscopy is also used to screen for colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.
A short, flexible, lighted tube, called a sigmoidoscope, is inserted into the intestine through the rectum into the lower part of the large intestine. Air is injected into the intestine through the sigmoidoscope to inflate it for better viewing.
Several procedures may be used to examine different portions of the large intestine. These include a colonoscopy (examination of the entire length of the large intestine), proctoscopy (examination of the anus and rectum), and anoscopy (examination of the anus only). Please see these procedures for additional information.
Although less invasive X-ray procedures, such as a barium enema, may be used to evaluate the large intestine, these procedures cannot provide the direct visualization of the internal intestine necessary to evaluate and diagnose certain conditions.
The large intestine, or colon, has four sections:
Ascending colon. This extends upward on the right side of the abdomen
Transverse colon. This extends from the ascending colon across the body to the left side
Descending colon. This extends from the transverse colon downward on the left side
Sigmoid colon. It is named because of its S-shape and extends from the descending colon to the rectum
The rectum joins the anus, or the opening where waste matter passes out of the body.
Colorectal cancer screening guidelines for early detection from the American Cancer Society recommend that beginning at age 50, both men and women should follow one of the examination schedules below:
Annual fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSIG) every five years
FOBT or FIT every year
FSIG every five years
Double-contrast barium enema every five years
Colonoscopy every 10 years
Persons with any of the following colorectal cancer risk factors should begin screening procedures at an earlier age and be screened more often:
Strong family history of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps in a first-degree relative, in a parent or sibling before the age of 60 or in two first-degree relatives of any age
Family with hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC)
Personal history of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps
Personal history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease
A sigmoidoscopy may be used to visualize or diagnose colon polyps, tumors, ulceration, inflammation, hemorrhoids, diverticula (pouches), and strictures (narrowing) in the sigmoid colon. It may also be used to determine the cause of recent changes in bowel habits, lower abdominal pain, itching around the anus, or the passage of blood or mucus in the stool.
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a sigmoidoscopy.
As with any invasive procedure, complications may occur. Complications related to sigmoidoscopy may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Persistent bleeding after biopsy
Peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity)
Perforation of the intestinal wall (rare)
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Certain factors or conditions may interfere with a sigmoidoscopy. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Use of soap suds enemas prior to the procedure, which irritate the lining of the mucosa
Presence of barium from previous tests used to examine the colon (such as a barium enema)
Inadequate preparation of the bowel before the procedure
Problems that may interfere with the passage of the sigmoidoscope, such as narrowing of the colon, surgical adhesions, or disease, such as chronic inflammatory disease
Rectal bleeding, which may interfere with visualization
Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure.
You will be asked to sign a consent form to do the test. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear.
Your doctor will give you specific instructions regarding any fasting or special diet to be followed prior to the procedure.
If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your health care provider.
Notify your doctor if you are sensitive to or are allergic to any medications, latex, tape, and anesthetic agents (local and general).
Notify your doctor of all medications (prescribed and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking.
Notify your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you are taking any anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, aspirin, ibuprofen, or other medications that affect blood clotting. It may be necessary for you to stop these medications prior to the procedure.
Your doctor will instruct you about ways to prepare your bowels for the test. You may be asked to take a laxative, an enema, a rectal suppository, and/or drink a special fluid that helps prepare your bowel.
Patients with diseases of the heart valves may be given antibiotics before the test.
Generally, a sedative or anesthesia is not required before the procedure.
Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation.
A sigmoidoscopy may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, the sigmoidoscopy follows this process:
You will be asked to remove any jewelry or other objects that may interfere with the procedure.
You will be asked to remove clothing and be given a gown to wear.
You will be asked to lie on the procedure table on your left side with your knees bent towards your chest. Alternatively, you may be positioned in the knee-chest position, on your knees with your head and chest bent down, touching the table.
The doctor will conduct a rectal exam to check for the presence of blood, mucus, or fecal matter and to help dilate the anus.
A lubricated sigmoidoscope will be slowly inserted into the anus and advanced into the rectum and lower part of the colon (distal sigmoid colon). After the sigmoid colon is visualized, the sigmoidoscope will be removed.
Sigmoidoscopy may be performed in conjunction with an anoscopy and/or a proctoscopy. If these procedures are performed, an anoscope and/or a proctoscope will be inserted to visualize the lower rectum and/or anal canal.
Although minimal discomfort is associated with the procedure, you may feel a strong urge to have a bowel movement when the sigmoidoscope is inserted. You may also feel temporary muscle spasms or lower abdominal pain during the procedure. Taking deep breaths while the tube is being inserted may help to help decrease the discomfort.
Air may be introduced into the bowel to aid visualization. A suction device may be used to remove liquid feces.
During the procedure, specimens and/or biopsies (tissue samples) may be taken from the lining of the large intestine with a special brush, forceps, or swab.
If a polyp is seen, it may be removed, biopsied, or left alone until a subsequent operation is performed.
After the procedure is completed, the instrument will be removed.
If you were positioned in the knee-chest position during the procedure, you should lie on your side or back for a few minutes before getting up from the table. You should move slowly when standing up in order to avoid dizziness from having your head down during the procedure.
You may resume your normal diet and activities, unless otherwise instructed.
If a biopsy or polyp removal was done during the procedure, you may notice a small amount of blood in your bowel movement. This bleeding should stop within a day or so.
You may experience excessive flatulence (passing of gas) and gas pains after the procedure. This is normal. Walking and moving about may help to ease any discomfort.
Notify your doctor to report any of the following:
Fever and/or chills
Bleeding from the rectum that lasts longer than a day
Abdominal pain and/or bloating
Inability to pass gas
Following a sigmoidoscopy, your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

FORT WAYNE – There was never any dodging of wrenches, Ed Prentiss will tell you. Serendipity, however, is another matter entirely.
On the other end of the phone line, Prentiss takes you back a decade, and, yes, if you're thinking the National Dodgeball League's origin story and the movie Dodgeball (really, who could forget the wrench-dodging scene?) are tied to each other, you just scored a bull's-eye on the evil White Goodman.
There was the infant NDL and, at roughly the same time, the film that took the sport national, a happy collision of circumstance that Prentiss marvels at to this day.
A unique coincidence, says Prentiss, founder and commissioner of the NDL, under whose auspices the Allegiant Dodge High Fares tournament is coming to SportONE Fieldhouse on July 14. I had started a league at the end of 2003 – I was just kind of sketching out ideas, and was starting to put some things together – and while that was going on, I thought I heard something on the radio about a movie coming out.
So he got online. Nothing.
Then I heard it again, and it was real clear this time, and yes, there was a movie coming up, Prentiss goes on. And I got online again and there was an item that Ben Stiller was going to star in a movie about dodgeball
That was interesting timing. We launched just prior to the movie coming out, and I contacted the studio, and we ended up cross-promoting with them out of Minneapolis, our headquarters, for the year.
And the rest, as they say, is dodgeball history.
The movie overwhelmed us, Prentiss says. We were originally starting as a pro league – we're still doing that – but once the movie came out, people contacted us about how to set up events, leagues, and we sort of became the clearinghouse for dodgeball because no one knew else where to go. Even then, we weren't built for it yet.
Now they are. Now there's the Allegiant series – a 30-city amateur tour whose proceeds go to local charities – and a pro National Dodgeball League as well, culminating in the world championships in Las Vegas, four days of dodgeball that attracts teams from the U.S., Canada, Japan, Denmark, New Zealand and Australia.
This year's event, the 10th, runs Aug. 8-11.
The Fort Wayne Allegiant tournament, meanwhile, will include food and drink specials from Jimmy's Grill. The winning team gets to designate which charity to send its registration fees.
All teams are co-ed and consist of six to 10 members who must be at least 18 years of age.
They do not, however, have to be particularly athletic in the traditional sense.
It's a wide variety, Prentiss says. Body types are different. Our players don't even look physically like you see in other sports.
Like, you think someone who'd played baseball might be good at dodgeball, and sure, a lot of guys who played baseball do wind up playing dodgeball.
But we also get people who played no other sports. There's a whole other group of people out there who maybe played nothing until they started picking this up.
And it is something you have to pick up. Like every sport, dodgeball has a codified set of rules; among them are the aforementioned team makeup, official court dimensions (60 feet by 30 feet with six regulation 8.5-inch balls) and so on.
Prentiss isn't sure yet what kind of turnout the tournament in Fort Wayne will get. The entry deadline is Wednesday.
Teams are notorious for waiting until the last minute to register, he says. That's kind of common for this, especially when it's not as an annual event. It takes a few more turns to get the motor going.

Two years ago, I decided that, if stranded on a desert island, I'd want a copy of When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. The book is perfect (others agree; the book earned Stead the Newbury Medal, among other awards and recognition), which is enough to earn it a spot on my list of 10 desert island books, but when I met Stead, she added a message when she signed her book: I wish you wonder. This message became emotionally important for reasons Stead couldn't have predicted. And When You Reach Me will always remind me of that period of time.
(Given the chance to see Stead at Book Expo America, I thanked her for writing that message, and she said that it had taken her a while to decide what she'd add when she signed copies of that book. I think I said something incoherent about how it changed my life or was important or significant or something … how do you tell someone that the words she chose became a way to say goodbye?)
Stead's new book, Liar & Spy, might have to join me on said desert island, as it, too, is as perfect as When You Reach Me. More so, maybe, since Stead exceeded my already high expectations. Georges (the S is silent; he was named for the artist Georges Seurat, known most for his 1884 painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte) is moved out of the only home he's known after his father loses his job. Georges' mother is working double shifts at the hospital, and is only messages formed from Scrabble letters for most of the book.
Into a new world goes Georges, who soon meets Safer, his sister Candy, and their brother Pigeon. Safer invites Georges into a world of spycraft, and the two boys keep tabs on a tenant in their building known only as Mr. X. Safer and Candy are homeschooled, so during the day, Georges is not a spy, but a student who is mercilessly picked on (some call him Gorgeous, others plot his demise in a chemistry class where the lesson involves taste and tastebuds and maybe a prediction of love … or death).
Secrets, lies, spycraft, mean girls and boys, love, and a mini-tour of the best places in this tiny New York neighborhood to get candy … and unfortune-fortune cookies, collide in an explosion of things salty and bittersweet.

Morningside Heights at a Glance
Morningside Heights is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and it is home to two of the largest parks in Manhattan, Morningside and Riverside Parks. These two parks make Morningside Heights a pristine location for workers to enjoy a lunch break. The beauty of Morningside heights is that it is removed from the hustle of Manhattan, but not too far away. The neighborhood also has easy access to the 1, A, B and C trains to for quick access to other areas of Manhattan. Morningside Heights is also a mere fifteen-minute subway ride from Times Square Morningside Heights is also the home of Columbia University, one of the premiere Universities in all of the country. Take a lunch break and have a nice conversation with some of the brightest people in New York or you can just enjoy the beautiful architecture within Columbia University's campus. There are plenty of beautiful buildings that have been around for hundreds of years. Additionally, Columbia's campus is filled with tourists, which could be a draw for many businesses. Perhaps you are a growing business that needs fresh young minds to help it grow? Consider hiring interns from Columbia University. The campus has a lot of tourists that could be a draw for many businesses. Furthermore, Columbia University, Morningside Park and Riverside Park are great locations to spend during lunch breaks or just areas to explore. Morningside Heights is a great location for office space because of the beautiful parks and the Columbia University neighborhood.

Why is it so difficult for my customers to place an order?
I just announced my book a few days ago and people are contacting me because they don't understand how to place an order! This is a big problem.
The site is designed under the assumption that everyone who visits is "A Blurbarian" , that is, an author. But many (most?) visitors just want to buy a book.
Even the use of the word "Blurbarian" on the Registration page is confusing. They don't want to join a club or a religious cult, just buy a book.
The "customer" should not be presented with the same screen as the author. Each needs different information. The customer needs to have a simple, clear process to buy the book. The "Registration" step is confusing and completely unnecessary for someone whose only interest is in buying a specific book.
This is a deal-breaker for me. I am going to do some more research on alternatives to Blurb. I have used CafePress in the past for a variety of products (haven't tried their books) and gotten very good response.'
Blurb needs to change-and soon.
I am having the very same issue. I have several people who wish to just by sevral books and be on with it. Have you had any suggetions?
I like the book quality and process but do not like this part of the package. do you know of any other company who presents a different approach? All the Best, tom and there is no one to talk to about the problem

I'm doing a quick survey of photobook sites and I'll post my info here in a day or two. There are many sites out there. So far I haven't found a service exactly like Blurb.
I also like Blurb's book quality,software, and price so this is particularly frustrating. It's not clear to me why the company took this approach. At the very least they should have help page explaining the steps required to buy a book.
Something like:
1. You'll see a spot in the middle of the page that says SOFTCOVER and HARDCOVER. Enter the quantity you'd like to order and click on ADD TO CART.
Hi dmxart,
We are looking into other solutions for those not wanting to register in order to buy books from the bookstore. As soon as we have made some progress, we'll let everyone know. Thanks for your ideas, please continue to add them here. In the meantime, thanks for your patience.
– Kathy
Hi Kathy:
Thanks so much for your post. It's refreshing to hear directly from the company and to know that some one is paying attention. I have calmed down a bit from yesterday's level of frustration. However, I notice that no one has managed to order my book yet. I would have expected to see a few purchases by now based on what people have told me.
I know nothing about Blurb's business model or goals so anything I say here is just based on my observations from using the site. It seems that there are several "groups" (markets?) you are targeting.
1. Authors who only want to buy books for themselves. The site is OK for them as is.
2. Customers who want to buy a specific book. This is where the site has problems: All visitors must register. But registration is really only needed for authors who need to return to the site. When customers make a purchase they will give you all the info you need to bill, ship, and track their order.
Right now the site requires that they register for a site they may never visit again and certainly don't need "an account" for. I'm not trying to overdo it here but one person who contacted me had never made an online purchase before and was completely baffled (not entirely your fault).
3. You also seem to be trying to get visitors to treat the site as a "bookstore" where they can browse and shop. That's fine, but it's got nothing to do with me as an author and it only serves to distract my customers. Please keep all that material out of the process until the sale is made.
Although CafePress is obviously different from Blurb I think they've got these functions pretty well separated on the site, even for the free storefronts. I used to have a premium account which made it even easier to keep people focused on my products. I could even control the appearance of all the "shopping cart" and "help" pages.
The "storefront" page itself is confusing. I would suggest that it state clearly "START HERE TO BUY THIS BOOK" and include directions . Although the page design is pleasant (orange type on woodgrain) it should be more businesslike: black type on white always works best.
I'll be quiet now,
Hello Blurbarians and Dan
I stumbled upon this site and it really looks great. I am setting up to sell digital art and photos online. I plan to do customized work for clients and this looks like a great place to create wonderful, quality books for potential clients.
However, I am concerned about the client being able to easily purchase books without having to register. I could send them a flash flib book sample of the book and then make it available for them to purchase ONLINE. I would not be able to purchase it for them first.
Is this possible with Blurb? I whole heartedly agree with Dan that Blurb has better quality than Cafepress- but if it is too difficult for clients to purchase- it would be a deal breaker for me and I see no reason to sign up with Blurb. This really seems like a good site- I really do hope I can use it- it would be so profitable for me and for Blurb as well. And such a loss for us both if this isnt possible.
Look forward to being a Blurbarian….

Great to hear you're " looking into other solutions for those not wanting to register in order to buy books from the bookstore." Been a year since we first asked for it and explained EXACTLY why it's necessary and in EVERYONE'S best interest:
Been holding my breath since then. Please implement the change before the Sun goes ice cold. Thanks!
Havent read many of the replies on this topic, I just wanted to state that It is ridiculous that anyone would have to join to be able to purchase a book. I have been a member on here for a year, and I just realized what ourcustomers are experiencing when wanting to place an order. It is absurd to force anyone to join anything to merely purchase a book. I am having serious thoughts of moving elsewhere. Sorry but it bothers me that much.
Hi this might be the wrong topic but i opdered my book and it never showed up i was wondering if there was anything i could do , cus i payed for the book and never receved the book or a notice saying my book is ready to be picked up so if anybody could help me it would greatly help thanks , mt email [removed by moderator].

I published my first book about a week ago and sent out a notification to a few friends. They complained to me about having to register just to buy the book. They just wanted to buy the book only. I hope Blurb would be able to make this buying process simpler by not making it mandatory for all potential buyers to register. I have faith in you.
On a different note, my book got to me within 10 days of ordering, to Ottawa, Canada. The finish of the book just blew me away. I had used 'si' before but did not get the same exicitement I am getting right now. A minor complaint would be the dust jacket was not folded correctly, thus the cover image was not centered as previewed.
Two thumbs up for Blurb, and Thank You!! I will be sticking with you for a while.
I am having the same problem. There are (at least) two major problems with Blurb's approach to sales from the site.
(1) Buyer has to register an account to buy a book. I know of no other ecommerce site that makes that as a requirement. It's a barrier to buyers continuing with the purchase decision.
(2) Your so-called "pricing" is confusing buyers of my book. They don't understand why your stated price is different than what I show on my storefront, and I get calls about that. Once I explain your price is my cost, they said they understand, and then they go on to ask if they could just buy directly from me, in part because of (1) above and also because of high shipping cost. I end up buying a quantity of books and selling directly.
Your book cost information should be available to book authors only (by signing in to their account), and to those who register an account to explore using your printing services. Buyers should not be required to register an account.
So, bottom line is, your site fails as an ecommerce site. And because I have my own website (www.poesyart.com) that affords a better opportunity to display and discuss my book, I find the only value Blurb offers is book printing. Whoever is in charge of ecommerce needs to completely review the approach to selling.

Staff: Henry Siegman, Former Senior Fellow and Former Director for the U.S./Middle East Project
March 1, 2005 - September 1, 2006
In 2005 and 2006, the U.S./Middle East Project joined in consultations among leading policy institutions in the Arab world in the formation of an international consortium that focuses on issues associated with democratization and regional reform. The purpose of this network is to mobilize Arab research capacity in support of reform in the Arab world that is realistic and home grown. In September 2005, the Arab founding members of the initiative jointly chose Dr. Bassma Kodmani to be the full-time director for the program. From October 24-25, 2005, the Secretariat of the Arab Reform Initiative convened in Cairo to discuss the organization's work plan for 2006. The Arab Reform Initiative's website is accessible to the public (in both English and Arabic) at www.arab-reform.net.
