Or it's advisable to do that? Why?
See the guidelines for overriding Equals() and operator==. Quote: Basically: If you want == and != to behave like | |||||
See Guidelines for Implementing Equals and the Equality Operator (==) For Value Types (structs) "Implement == any time you override the Equals method" For Reference Types (classes), "Most reference types, even those that implement the Equals method, should not override ==." The exception is for immutable classes and those with value-like semantics. | |||
In addition to all the answers already here, don't forget to ensure | |||
If you are overriding the equals method and still want to be able to check for equality (or inequality) then you should probably override the == and != methods as well. | |||
It would be advisable, as it would be unexpected if:
...behaved differently to:
| |||||
It is not necessary, nobody will kill you if you do not do that. However, do notice that it is often more natural to write (A == B) than A.Equals(B). If you provide both methods, it will be easier for consumers of your code. | |||
in A.Equals(B) A cannot be null in A == B either can be null | |||
Overriding == to make it call Equals strikes me as a generally bad idea for reference types. If you override == to make it call Equals, then I don't think there's a way for a user of your code to test whether two object references refer to the exact same object (versus an object with equal properties). If people want to test instances of your classes for value equality then surely they should just call Equals, saving == for testing reference equality specifically. | |||||||||||||
It is not necessary, but a smart thing to do. If you are creating a framework and another developer other than you are going to use the object you should override the == and !=. That way when a developer may use it they at least have the right logic to compare the 2 objects rather than just are the same in memory. I would ensure that your == & != do call your equals method. | ||||

II Thessalonians
Chapter 2
There is no evidence that the man of Lawlessness is the antichrist of John's letters. The antichrist is identified as anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Many antichrists had already come, so the antichrist was not being held back.
Paul was writing to the church, which is the temple of God. (I Corinthians 3:16,17) The Jerusalem temple was no longer the temple of God.
The spirit of lawlessness (false teaching) had already begun. This fits the rebellion (apostasy) described in this passage.
The man of lawlessness would use all sorts of displays of power. (A man must have a miracle in his life before he can become the pope.) "For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." (II Corinthians 11:13,14)
The apostasy was held back by the Roman government. When the Roman government was removed in AD 100, the infant papacy concept was no longer held in check.

Keep your Hands off my Soda Cambridge...
Tue, 19 Jun 2012|
Following in the footsteps of New York City, Cambridge is considering limiting the size of sodas and sugar-sweetened beverages in city restaurants. Cambridge Mayor Henrietta Davis proposed the idea at the council's meeting Monday night, saying she brought the idea forward because of the health risks caused by consuming too much soda. Will this stop obesity or just drive people away from Cambridge restaurants?

And you could understand why they would do it. The people in Cambridge are not very Smart. So they need the government to tell them exactly what they should be can. I mean Johnny apparently. They're not Smart so obviously they both of these folks in what they could help them. Larry you know children how to control their lives they're incapable of making decisions on the -- Well you know those Harvard types Johnny.

Hi all,
Need a little help with the chords on this track. There are two versions, only difference being capo at fret 1 and capo at fret 2. I think the chord shapes are Em, Am... Dm? She also plays a barre chord at the 4th fret which I cant quite make out (possibly Ab7?). After the barre chord is there some form of a G played? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k125yTHj1EU Any help appreciated Regards |

Avery on the ice
Morning practice has begun here at the MSG Training Center and Sean Avery (sprained right knee) has joined his teammates on ice for the first time since colliding with Ryan Callahan on Sept. 21 during the morning skate. Avery is wearing an orange, non-contact jersey.
Still would have to think Avery's doubtful for Friday's opener at Pittsburgh. At the very least, the Rangers can't make any real statements on Avery's health/status until tomorrow because they need to see how his knee reacts to today's skate.
More soon...

The mechanisms of long-term depression (LTD) underlie various aspects of normal brain function. Therefore, it is important to understand the signaling that underpins LTD. The study by Scholz et al. in this issue of Neuron describes how BRAG2, mGluRs, and AMPARs come together to produce LTD through AMPAR internalization.

PLYMOUTH — A close to capacity crowd celebrated Valentine's Day enjoying a flute and piano duo at the Plymouth Country Club. Ralph Booker and his wife Norma were among those enjoying the delicious food and enchanting music. He commented, "An outstanding evening of excellent, refined entertainment preceded by a fine menu. It was an example of exceptional performing arts and shows a small community can rise to the top." Monday, March 14 will provide another opportunity to enjoy a wonderful dinner and a great evening of music by one of our own regional artists.
Across the state last week, members of Tri Kappa celebrated Tri Kappa week (February 21 through 27). Members of Culver's Tri Kappa organization are busy making plans for their spring and summer events, the two largest of which are Tour De Max on May 21, and Chairs for Charity, June 12.
PLYMOUTH — It didn't take a fairy godmother to make area high school girls' dreams of wearing the perfect gown to the prom this year a reality. It just took the idea of a Tri Kappa member and the hard work of many others.
As has been documented in recent years, Culver was once home to a thriving African American community which included members of the first integrated high school basketball team in Indiana (in 1922), an African Methodist Episcopal Church, and many more notable features. Of that community, Jim Harper remains to tell the story, which is what he did last week at two events at the Culver-Union Township Public Library -- one aimed at teens (last Thursday) and one at adults (on Saturday), in honor of Black History Month.
PLYMOUTH — The celebration of 50 years continues for the United Way of Marshall County. A year of celebration of the historic landmark for the organization that has made a difference in the area will continue with the United Way annual meeting on Tuesday April 12. United Way will recognize all the past chairman of of the organization's annual fund drive and conduct the regular yearly business such as nominating and electing officers. Then the party starts.
Culver's Cub Scout Pack 290 held its annual Pinewood Derby January 19, at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in Culver. Of the nearly 20 Cubs and visiting youngsters participating in the event, the following awards were given: Open class: 1st place: Logan Coiner, 2nd: Chuck Robbins, 3rd: Mary Boland. Tiger Den: 1st place Gavin Salyer, 2nd: Phoenix Dickson, 3rd: Cody Winkler. Wolf Den: 1st place: Trayden Schrimsher, 2nd: Shane Stevens, 3rd: Morgan Keller Bear Den: 1st place: Colton Wynn, 2nd: Noah Parsons, 3rd: Nolan Shaffer.
School delays and closings as of 8 a.m. Thursday: Ancilla College — 2 hour delay Argos Community Schools — 2 hour delay Bremen Public Schools — Closed Culver Community Schools — Closed John Glenn School Corp — 2 hour delay Oregon-Davis School Corp — 2 Hour Delay Plymouth Community Schools - Closed Triton School Corporation — Closed Union-North United Schools — 2 hour delay Alternate kindergarten
LAPAZ — Surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues Saturday in the small community room of the LaPaz-North Township Volunteer Fire Department building Elma Konya received a hero's applause when she rose to her feet and reflected on the guiding principle she has used to serve the North Township community over the last 40 years as trustee. "I lived through the Depression. I knew what it was like to be hungry, to not have a roof over your head, to be without heat. You care for each other," she said.
Wednesday, around 9:55 a.m., Ashley Zehner, 19, was traveling west on 9C Road near Tulip when she lost control on ice-covered road surface. Zehner spun off the road and traveled into the south embankment where she then struck a telephone junction box. Her vehicle came to rest facing east. Zehner said she was driving west when a mail delivery vehicle was on the side of road, and when she applied brakes to slow, her vehicle started to slide. Zehner was transported to St . Joseph Regional Medical Center for complaint of pain to the back and neck area.
The term, "pay it forward" has been in vogue in recent years, especially following the release of the popular 2000 movie of the same name, though many may not realize that, like many films, "Pay it Forward" was based on a book (in this case by Catherine Ryan Hyde).

New Year's Eve is not a good movie. Remember that time your roommate threw up all over you and passed out in the bathroom before Dick Clark/Ryan Seacrest had even shown up on the TV? New Year's Eve is worse than that time.The film disappoints not only by being tooth-achingly saccharine and remarkably un-funny. It's disappointing because, as an ensemble romantic comedy inspired by the likes of Love Actually, it had the opportunity to tell at least a couple of non-traditional love stories—and it completely wasted that opportunity.
The poster for New Year's Eve features no fewer than 19 actors, including some big names like Halle Berry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank, and Ashton Kutcher. This is the exact number boasted by the posters for Valentine's Day (2010), which, like New Year's Eve, was directed by Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride) and written by Katherine Fugate. The poster for Love Actually (2003) featured only 10 stars, despite billing the movie as "the ultimate romantic comedy."
Ensemble movies, though shoddy, might allow Hollywood to take baby steps toward a less predictable rom com.The romantic comedy is a genre that people love to hate on. Part of that hatred comes from the fact that rom coms are largely movies made for and about women, and hating on "girly" things happens gleefully and frequently these days. It's no coincidence that the few rom coms most people admit to liking, from modern classics like Groundhog Day to newer fare like Knocked Up, are written by men and tell a love story largely from a man's perspective.
But there are legitimate reasons—you know, non-sexist ones—to dislike the genre. For every quality romantic comedy it produces, Hollywood churns out at least three terrible ones (though of course the same could be said of many other genres). Big-studio romantic comedies are almost always stories about upper-middle-class white people. They almost always portray straight relationships as if they're the only kind of relationship that exists. And their screenwriters cannot bear the thought of the characters on screen being single once the ending credits role: Kate and Leopold (2001) was so desperate to bring its central couple together that it resorted to time travel to do it.
What's more, there's plenty to dislike about the current trend of "smorgasbord" rom coms, featuring multiple stories and protagonists. Movies like He's Just Not That Into You (2009), Valentine's Day, and New Year's Eve, based on advice books or pegged to holidays, are craven and transparent money grabs. They throw dozens of thin, somewhat intertwined plot lines together into the script. And because each of those plot lines is allowed about five minutes of screen time, there's almost no character development, which wastes the talent of the actors. Given this, many people no doubt wish that Love Actually, though it's probably the best of the smorgasbord rom coms, had actually been the ultimate romantic comedy—as in, the last one.
On the other hand, it is possible that these movies, though shoddily constructed and poorly acted, might in fact allow Hollywood to take baby steps toward a less predictable and more progressive rom com. Maybe.
In Love Actually, Keira Knightley's Juliet is paired with Chiwetel Ejiofor's Peter. It's an interracial coupling, which is something we almost never see in romantic comedies with just one central couple. Peter and Juliet's union is presented as utterly uncontroversial; the interracial element is never noted. They're simply two people who love each other and who are getting married. It's true that we don't see much of their relationship, but what we do see of it is loving and happy. The movie also resists the Hollywood cliché that the couple must end the story together: Laura Linney's Sarah, who falls for her gorgeous boss Karl (Rodrigo Santoro), decides that her relationship with her troubled brother takes precedence over her love life, and at the end, Sarah and Karl don't get their Hollywood happy ending.
Love Actually originally featured, among its myriad couples, middle-aged lesbian partners, one of whom is dying of cancer. In the movie's deleted scenes, we see their worn-in, loving relationship, and watch as one of them cares for the other. In the director's commentary, writer and director Richard Curtis explains that much to his chagrin, their plotline was cut to get the movie down to an acceptable length. Obviously, it would be ideal to see an entire mainstream romantic comedy devoted to an interracial marriage, or a committed lesbian partnership, or to Sarah and Karl's "doomed" relationship. At this moment, however, that's wishful thinking. Instead, a movie like Love Actually, because it has many couples instead of one central couple, has just a little room for more progressive stories. That is, it can tell love stories that are not just about upper-middle-class, straight, white people, and it can tell love stories that don't end "happily."

What I Learned From a Summer of Romantic Comedies | |
Science Fiction or Romantic Comedy? |
Unfortunately, New Year's Eve offers us no interracial relationships and no gay or lesbian couples. Furthermore—here's a spoiler if you can have a movie like this spoiled—it offers us nothing but happy endings. Unlike Love Actually, Valentine's Day, and He's Just Not That Into You—in which the marriage of Janine and Neil (Jennifer Connelly and Bradley Cooper) ends around when the movie does —this film simply cannot bring itself to tell a single story that ends with the lovers apart. This failure makes it even worse than its smorgasbord predecessors. In New Year's Eve, every bow is neatly tied, and everyone who ever had a chance at a kiss at midnight gets that kiss. It's regressive, and it represents a missed opportunity.
When it comes to romantic coupling, Hollywood still plays it safe. An entire movie about a gay or lesbian couple, or in an interracial couple, or a couple who don't end up together, is a risky investment. The smorgasbord rom com, because it invests in many couples rather than in just one, can afford to invest in non-traditional love stories because, scattered among so many other stories, they don't represent such a risk. This certainly isn't an ideal situation, and it carries the air of token representation. Indeed, it's certainly not by mere chance that when something had to be cut to get Love Actually down to an acceptable length, the lesbian storyline was excised. But it's better than the otherwise entirely traditional love stories that films like New Year's Eve present.

It's Thursday @ The Punch
Today in 1967 the first succesful human heart transplant was performed on 53-year-old Lewis Washkansky in Cape Town, South Africa.

*********Mods: The subject of this comment is "tricky". I'm making it 'cause I think it's better to be aware of such things rather than pretend it doesn't happen and ignore it. However, I'm aware also that there is a fine line between "making aware" and "telling how to do". Obviously it's up to you whether you publish this comment or not***********
Advice Needed: Do I bother emailing the council about this or just let it go?
Working up in a Northern Tassie town a few days ago and we were doing some waymarking in our spare time. Waymarking is a global "game" where you find interesting objects and publish them on the internet with their location from a GPS (see http://www.waymarking.com). It's a fun activity and it makes participants really look at their environment. Which is why I found myself taking photos in a kids playground…
Before you ring the Feds there were no children present, and if it helps I've got two primary school kids. The play equipment is "space-age" themed and looks very "googie" which is the term for all that "jetsons era" architecture (for example see http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM65QC_Satellite_Hotel_Colorado_Springs_CO).
This is the play equipment I was interested in waymarking http://i49.tinypic.com/2m2ykcl.jp. Looking at it I noticed a meme stencilled on the rocket fin that seems to be associated with paedophilia (see http://i47.tinypic.com/1zpiloi.jpg). It's called pedo-bear or pedobear, search for it on google images and you'll find it. Some of images found will be illegal in Australia. So be warned, use safe-search.
The town this is in is a very religious place, very tidy and neat and a really nice place. I reckon (hope) it's a foolish prank by some teenagers. And I guess I'll have to email the council to let them know and remove it.

They've cut city work staff to the bone, at the applause of many who live in the city. And then the complaints start.
This idea that the workers don't work is so unfair and wrong. Many times several workers have to show up to a project to get it done, but if anyone sees even one of those workers not participating, they assume it's waste. It's not, and the criticism is not only unfair, it's ridiculous.
The city has always stepped in to make sure the special qualities of our area are tended, and the more you cut, and the less money you have, that all goes away. If you think volunteer work will replace it, not so.
We've been able to do this, on behalf of all residents, COUNTY and city alike. Expect your taxes to take off if you want this all to continue. Think ahead. Unless we get a good deal for our utiilties, we will have no money at all except taxes.
Stating the obvious.
Well said.
Won`t change any of the committable`s minds though.
If it means taxes, they think we don`t need it, it`s all waste and fraud, giveaways, lazy, do nothing workers.
They want to cruise around a Cadillac city, but only pay for a Yugo.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Fellow freshman Diggs also has standout day
In Maryland's open preseason scrimmage Saturday, freshman Stefon Diggs was as electric as advertised, scoring three touchdowns. Meanwhile, another freshman -- one who arrived with little advance notice -- was better than anyone could have anticipated.
Perry Hills, suddenly serving as the Terrapins' quarterback after a season-ending knee injury to starter C.J. Brown, was efficient and resourceful before a crowd of approximately 1,500 at Byrd Stadium.
Hills, lightly recruited out of Pittsburgh, showed poise when pressured and the ability to make plays outside the pocket, completing 14 of 19 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown and rushing 10 times for 63 yards and another score. Throwing low-risk, short passes and rushing for three first downs, Hills directed an 18-play, 80-yard touchdown drive on the scrimmage's opening possession, which he capped with a 16-yard scramble for the score.
"I thought Perry had a good day," Maryland coach Randy Edsall said. "We didn't have any issues with delay of game. We didn't have any false starts. When you talk about the mechanics and the operation of the offense, I think he did that really well."
Later in the first period, it was Diggs' turn to amaze. The first time he touched the ball, he broke into the clear on a punt return and raced 68 yards for a touchdown. Before the quarter was over, Diggs took another return the distance, this one covering 98 yards on a kickoff.
In the final three minutes of the half, Hills directed a beat-the-clock touchdown drive, ignited by an underneath pass to Kevin Dorsey that the senior wideout turned into a 40-yard gain. Six plays later, it was Dorsey's preseason camp roommate, Diggs, who capped the drive with an 11-yard touchdown catch on another underneath route.
"Stefon performed well, but you gotta take into consideration that was the scout team out there," Edsall said of the return touchdowns. "He's a dynamic player. He's got good instincts. He has football knowledge. He has talent, very coachable and very competitive."
Diggs might have had another score, breaking into the clear on a go-route. But under pressure, Hills' pass was long. Hills' only turnover came in the second half when senior linebacker Darin Drakeford stripped him of the ball, scooped it up and ran 18 yards for a touchdown.
Redshirt freshman cornerback Makinton Dorleant could have tacked on another defensive score as he anticipated a sideline throw by freshman quarterback Caleb Rowe for an interception, but he inexplicably dived to the turf after sprinting 15 yards up the sideline on the final play of the first half.
Rowe showed a strong arm and had some good moments as well. He threw a 69-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass to freshman Levern Jacobs. Sophomore Devin Burns, a former quarterback-turned-wideout who is back at his old position after Brown's injury, sprinted 54 yards for a score.
Burns was asked whether his return to quarterback was like riding a bike.
"This is my fourth day at quarterback, just getting the rust off," Burns said. "I'd say it's more like a unicycle than a bike."

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has backed the dynamism of the diplomatic apparatus and praised the government`s recent diplomatic efforts.
The Supreme Leader was referring to the recent visit to New York of President Hassan Rohani.
The Supreme Leader made the remarks while addressing the graduation ceremony of Air Force College here Saturday.
Of course, Ayatollah Khamenei added, "Some of the things that took place dung the visit was not appropriate from our point of view."
However, we are optimistic about the diplomatic corps of our dear government; but we are pessimistic about the Americans. The US administration cannot be trusted; it is hegemonic and unfaithful to its promises," Ayatollah Khamenei added.
The Supreme Leader said the US administration is unreliable, irrational and promise breaker.
Ayatollah Khamenei further described the American administration as a government dominated by the international Zionist lobbies which has to compromise with the occupying regime for the cause of Zionists and be flexible towards them.
"We advise our officials to carefully monitor current developments and never ignore the country`s national interests.
"It is among top priorities of Iranian officials to pay due attention to our national dignity and defend our national identity," said the Supreme Leader.
The fact is that the US administration serves the interests of the Zionist regime, Ayatollah Khamenei said, adding that the Americans are now blackmailing the world and giving hush money to the Zionists.
The country`s armed forces should form a very stronghold to defuse plots of the enemies, said the Supreme Leader.
"The enemies should bear in their mind that our response to any aggression would be very tough", underlined the Supreme Leader.
Ayatollah Khamenei also hailed the bravery of the Iranian Armed Forces mainly the Air Force during eight years of Sacred Defense.

The caption under a photograph in Wednesday's "Flourishing Art" story is misleading. It states "The Tourist Development Council is planning to create new arts and music festivals in an effort to attract tourists to Highlands County." I only wish that was true. In fact the Tourist Development Council (TDC) does not create events. It only pays to advertise events that others have created and paid for.
It uses tourist tax dollars to fund itself and reimburse advertising costs for created events that fall within the county ordinance governing bed tax expenditures. The public voted on this ordinance 2001. It set funding categories, and percentages of the tourist tax dollars allocated to promote each category.
For 10 years the TDC has ignored the county ordinance and spent the tax monies to serve their own interests. Last year the state Joint Legislative Committee called them to task on it. TDC returned to the art & culture (A&C) fund some $162,000 in reconciliation for the over $300,000 they took out of it the past 10 years. They used that money to fund things other then A&C. Highlands County has suffered the consequences.
Cultural tourism is 74.9 percent of the tourist market in Florida and is proven to turn around rural economies. In Highlands County there are significant assets to attract this huge market. We have museums, murals, live theatre, art galleries and a vibrant and growing art community. The cultural tourist is looking for out-of-the-way cultural oasis like Highlands County.
The county as a whole would have benefited if TDC followed the rules set forth in the ordinance that established their existence. The public voted for them to spend 17 percent of the tourist tax dollars to target the cultural tourist. Not only did they redirect that money toward special interests in violation of the public trust but, they now want to change the rules to eliminate spending guidelines and cut the public out of the process altogether.
On Thursday, Feb. 28 at 8:15 a.m. at the Ag-Center in Sebring, the TDC is voting to empower itself to change the ordinance the public voted for. They want to replace it, without a public vote, with one that allows them to lump categories into one pot. It further allows them to spend the tax dollars as they so choose without guidelines or public recourse. This gives TDC power the public never voted for. It is also an open door for special interests to control TDC spending, and leave the community's well being hang out to dry, again.

Israel-based Anobit Technologies used EMC World to demonstrate the performance of its Genesis solid state drives (SSDs) as a way of showing they are ready for enterprise users. The Genesis drives, based on multi-level cell (MLC) NAND technology, feature a performance rating of over 30,000 IOPS (random read/write). The drives also meet an endurance benchmark of 10 complete, random disk rewrites per day for five years, the company said. The Genesis series SSDs are based on the company's own MSP (Memory Signal Processing) technology, which Anobit said gives MLC the ability to work in high duty cycle applications.

On business trip. Always try to find an Outback. Same quality and great service no matter where you go. Sat at bar, service was terrific and the food arrived quickly and hot.. Was very good!
On business trip. Always try to find an Outback. Same quality and great service no matter where you go. Sat at bar, service was terrific and the food arrived quickly and hot.. Was very good!
We went to eat and when the food was brought out my steak I ordered was missing the mushrooms I paid for. I flagged down our waiter and he apologized and said he would rectify the situation. A couple minutes later the Chef returns with my steak and apologized and also brought complimentary french onion soup and took the price... More
Had dinner there last night. Wasnt overly "themed", just a nice clean and ambient steakhouse. Our steaks were very tasty, cooked exactly as we wanted and very tasty. Hubby enjoyed a huge 22oz beer and my cocktails were nice. Waitress was very pleasant and efficient and the prices (by our NZ standards) were pretty good.
Forget the theme as it is stereotypical rubbish and quite honestly, bordering on tacky. But if you are after a decent reasonably priced steak cooked as you like it, you won't go wrong here.
Australian themed steakhouse Good selection of food,well priced good value for money. We liked it so much that out of our 3 night stay in the area we ate here twice.
we had the avocado crab stack and it was yummy! But $5.50 for a small Fosters Beer was too much. Was very clean and the staff friendly
The best bake potato and steak I've had in Orange County so far. Staff was nice price was good. Location is perfect for me. Definitely will be back. Will be taking my family there.
Nice enough place, good quality as per the Outback chain. However, if you happen to go there to watch a sports game, beware. I'm currently sat at the bar and two servers turned the TV's over from local games - one is a Cubs fan, the other a Bruins fan. Guess we're watching those games!
Disappointed with filet (section had fat & was chewy) & baked potato was overcooked. Outback always seems to be a hit or miss depending on where it is located.
We visited outback on the last night as we was leaving buena park and moving on with our road trip The steaks were all well cooked and service was fast and efficient there was a ten minute wait to be seated which was acceptable Great experience all round

Memory Marathon
Simon Pope
'Memory Marathon' is an 80-minute film of a large-scale participative event in which artist Simon Pope walked a specially planned 26-mile marathon route through the five London boroughs that hosted the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Continuing a series of trademark walking and memory projects by this innovative artist, 'Memory Marathon' is a unique collective undertaking that celebrates the enduring importance of personal memories.
Starting out just after dawn from Thamesmead in South-East London, and arriving twelve hours later at the entrance to the Olympic Park in Stratford, Pope completed his marathon journey in the company of more than a hundred local residents of Greenwich, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest.
Moving forward in an unbroken relay, in which each participant walked a 400-metre section of the route alongside Pope, each individual was asked to contribute a recollection of what is, for them, a stand-out moment from Olympic history, before passing the 'baton' of the microphone to the next person in line. Recruited from the East London boroughs adjoining the Olympic site, and reflecting the diverse make-up of those communities and the inclusive, international spirit of the Games themselves, the participants' collective act of commemoration draws from a huge reservoir of sporting and cultural memory, encompassing both triumph and disaster, and highlighting both the intimate and the everyday.
The marathon route itself similarly eschews obvious London landmarks in favour of hidden and forgotten corners of the capital, and takes its lead from places and streets in east London that have been represented previously on film, concentrating in particular on times in its history when London, as now, experienced moments of upheaval and transition. A snapshot of a city whose architectural face, in the lead-up to the Olympics, was changing with extraordinary rapidity, 'Memory Marathon' is an equally vivid portrait of the people that make London what it is today.
'Memory Marathon' was initially presented in March 2010 through an exhibition and screenings across London. In 2012, the film was re-presented at various venues in July to coincide with the London 2012 Olympic Games.
'Memory Marathon' was conceived and produced by Film and Video Umbrella. Commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority and funded by the London Development Agency and Arts Council England.
Presented by Film and Video Umbrella.

Approximately 15% of music therapists work with individuals living in nursing homes or other geriatric facilities. And 29% of music therapists work with mature adults and senior citizens. Historically, the aged has been one of the more common groups that music therapists have worked with. This makes sense, given that the U.S. population is getting older and they have more demanding healthcare needs than younger individuals.
If you walk into a nursing home during a music therapy session you may see what can only be described as amazing. Individuals who cannot remember loved ones, life long friends, or their place of birth, singing along with the music therapist. How is this possible? Why is it that they can remember nothing but words to a silly song? This phenomenon is by far one of the most amazing benefits of music therapy in the treatment of individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. By some coincidence, the area of the brain that is responsible for remembering music is one of the last areas that is touched by Alzheimer's disease and advanced forms of dementia. The fact that the elder still listen and enjoy music is why it used so frequently with the elderly.
According to the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health, dementia is a term that describes changes in the brain. Common symptoms of dementia are repeating questions, become lost in familiar places, having trouble following directions, and becoming disoriented about the time, people, and places. Sometimes people who are experiencing dementia forget to take care of their daily living activities, such as bathing, brushing their teeth, and eating. Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia.1 Scientists think approximately 4.5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The use of music therapy in the treatment and rehabilitation of adults with dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease (AD) has shown promising results. Common music therapy goals for patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease include improvements in mood, reminiscence and quality of life, and reductions in anxiety. Specific research results indicate that music therapy is useful for decreasing agitation and wandering in individuals with more advanced dementia and AD. Additionally, music therapy interventions can benefit caregivers in terms of increasing socialization, decreasing depression and sense of burden.
Stroke patients and patients suffering from Parkinson's disease are often involved in rehabilitation programs to help either rehabilitate or maintain levels of cognitive and physical functioning. Music therapy has become an integral part of rehabilitation programs, partly due to the benefits shown by researchers at Colorado State University.2 Music therapists, physical therapists and researchers at the Center for Biomedical Research in Music have been studying the benefits of music, specifically rhythm, on gait in Parkinson's disease and stroke patients with amazing results. Gait training involves assisting patients relearning how to walk evenly, walking longer distances, and become stronger physically. This helps in reducing injuries from falls leading to more independence and a better quality of life.
Additionally, music therapy is useful in speech rehabilitation. Stroke patients have been able to relearn how to speak by singing useful phrases before they speak them. Singing has also been useful in helping Parkinson's patients speak more clearly as their disease advances.3 Stroke patients also benefit from an intervention called "Melodic Intonation Therapy" to relearn useful phrases, which helps these patients state their needs and wishes.4 This particular treatment is most successful for individuals with expressive aphasia.
