Assisted Living
Senior Living Guide was founded several years ago to help seniors and their families in locating housing options such as assisted living facilities. We created this website to provide an on-line resource to help familiarize readers with the continuously increasing choices in senior housing options. Assisted living is just one type of facility available for senior housing. These assisted living facilities have medical personnel helping with medication, administration, dressing, bathing, and social activities. There are also continuing care retirement community options available as well as nursing homes. You will learn about adult day care, health care, and a wide range of support services available for you and your loved one through our Guide.
Our assisted living housing units feature fine, restaurant-style dining with a variety of choices in menu options and on-site services like a convenience store and full-service beauty/barber shops. Some assisted living housing units have gracious apartment-style accommodations with a variety of floor plans with kitchens and kitchenettes. They have beautifully manicured landscaping and gardens for outdoor walks. If you are one of those seniors who want to maintain their rich and rewarding life without the responsibilities of running a household, try one of our assisted living housing units. For more information on our assisted living housing units feel free to browse our consultant pages as they offer information about our facilities for you or your loved ones in North and South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Florida.
Finding Assisted Living communities on our website couldn't be easier. Simply visit our Assisted Living search page here - Assisted Living - and you will be able to choose from multiple states and markets and even search for Assisted Living locations by zip code. Senior Living Guide and www.seniorlivingguide.com are unique because we offer senior housing choices such as active adult communities, assisted living facilities and home health options, as well as Alzheimer's care and senior services listed by price. We have found that when seniors or their loved ones are searching for these housing options and services, their number one concern is how much assisted living and other senior options cost.
It is important to note that seniors who seek assited living care are generally in need of daily assistance that exceeds what home health care providers are able to give. By choosing an assisted living community seniors and their loved ones can be sure that the resident will be cared for and receive all of the comfort and care possible.

really enjoyed the food, ordered a mix of Chinese and Thai. No heavy sauces, plenty of veggies, very happy with service.
Asia 1 on the Guide is a wonderful place to take family and friends. There are many healthy choices and the appetizer plates are great! Fresh sushi comes in many forms and is priced well. The only thing I would change is the scallops. I had Pad Thai with scallops which was not offered but they gladly did for me.... More
I ordered the Crab + Chicken Fried Rice, but could only eat half (too much food). It was so good, just like in Bangkok. Others in our group raved about the Mongolian Beef and the Pad Thai. The Pad Se-iew wasn't so good, but it could have been that the right noodles were unavailable. I should have not ordered a... More
I used to eat here religiously. The best Thai Food that I have had. Ever. Their Pad Thai is to die for. Egg rolls are fresh and crisp. Service is as always amazing.
Food was good, lots of variety. Advertised as healthy Asian cooking, would agree. Excellent service, thanks Wynter!!
We stopped in 10 minutes before closing and sat at the bar. Our bartender/server was a very friendly young man and was very helpful with recommending dishes to us. Although they were busy getting ready to close for the night he as still attentive. Will return when we are in town again next time.
We have been there many times, and have never had a bad meal , or any problem. Good healthy food, and good service.We are regulars.
My daughter and I stopped in last night. I was a bit apprehensive, because it had a strange Sports Bar feel to the place, however, the service was excellent and the food was tasty. I particularly enjoyed the lettuce wraps. Be aware of the Costco traffic when visiting. I took a wrong turn and got stuck, for ages, behind cars... More
Check out this place when in Bellingham. The food is fresh and tasty. The staff are first class. Very clean. Will definitely go back.
Asia 1 in Bellingham has the best healthy asian food around. The staff is very attentive and the restaurant is clean and decorated with great displays. Sushi is fresh and made to order.

Sammy Gello-ani, the promoter of Ormocanon Johnriel "Quadro Alas" Casimero, said that he will claim Casimero's International Boxing Federation flyweight championship belt in Argentina next month.
Gello-ani said the ugly riot prevented the announcer from formally presenting the belt to Casimero after his 10th round technical knockout of Argentine Luis Alberto "The Mosquito" Lazarte last Feb. 10 at the Mar de Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The boxing mess has prompted the 12th Sangguniang Panlungsod of Ormoc City to pass a resolution last Feb. 16 urging the IBF to investigate the riot that erupted after the ring announcer declared Casimero as winner.
The resolution described the incident as a "disgrace" to the boxing sport which "deserves to be dealt with accordingly by the IBF which has jurisdiction over the fight."
It urged the IBF to "implement proper precautionary measures to ensure the safety and protection of all boxers" and strengthen existing policies "in order to avoid such untoward incident to happen in the future."
Casimero will begin training in March to defend his title against a still unknown challenger on April or May probably in Las Vegas.*PNA

Lions Open Thread: Spawn Fantasy Football Update: Week 10
Spawn Fantasy Football Update: Week 10
Another week of fantasy football and NFL action. Hopefully I won't "Bellichik" my way through these highlights and disappoint an entire fanbase in the process. Seriously almost 2 minutes to go when you're leading by 6 and you go for it on 4th and 2 at your own 28 yard line? WTF?!? I haven't seen coaching like that since, well, every Clowns game. Speaking of great Clowns coaching here's your scenario:: You're down 16 with seconds to play and have one last play what do you do? A: Put your 3rd stringers in because this game was over before it even started? or B: Leave all your starters in, run some hook and lateral gimmick play, get THE ONLY player on your team who contributes every week injured possibly costing him his career, all while embarrassing yourself even more. If you went with B: your name is Erik Mangini and you will soon be looking for employment.
All bitching aside on to the FF. The blowout of the week went to SleepingwiththeEnemy against Bursley Busses. Sleeping put up a league leading 142 points to Bursley's 88. Bursley's team played exactly to their potential but it just wasn't enough to stop Sleeping's onslaught. Sleeping was lead by Reggie Wayne, Donovan "Chunky" Mcnabb and the Duh starter of the week the Baltimore Defense. Bursley had a great game from Reggie Bush but no one else on the team were able to step up.
The second and even bigger blowout of the week had Smooth Operators dismantle Zoltan's Heroes. Smooth is clearly Operating on all cylinders (Har Har) and is making their case for the top spot of the league. Zoltan's coming off a couple victories couldn't put anything together and only managed 79 points. Smooth has next years #1 fantasy pickup Chris Johnson leading all scorers with 35 points.
The closest game of the week had Bigasshammm finally getting another win over He Hate Me. He Hate was winning going into Monday night but Bigasshammm's squad still had Ray Rice against the Clowns defense and the rest was history. He Hate Me was let down by his receiving corps this week while Big's team is just a key player away from actually contending.
Finally Defenstrators wins again (yawn) over 9 Finger Freaks. It wasn't a great week for the Defenestration but they always seem to have those weeks when their opponents have even worse weeks. Tom Brady was a big plus for 9 Finger but Santana Moss and Willie Parker really let them down. Drew Brees only had a marginal day and Maurice Jones-Drew made every fantasy football owner scream when he took a knee at the 1 yard line ala Westbrook to shed time off the clock. That move in itself is quite baffling as your team is losing and you can score a TD to go ahead which is guaranteed. Why leave it on the feet of your kicker?
Playoffs start week 15 and Defenestrators are the first to secure their playoff spot. Bigasshammm's squad with their win this week has vaulted up into the final playoff position based on total points. There will be a few more changes before week 15 so it should get hot n heavy. Trade deadline is this Friday although I don't think we've had one trade. This week has the Ultimate Pillow Fight between the Clowns and the Cowardly Lions. I predict Lions by 17.
P.S. Don't be like me and forget that Thursday night games have begun! Get your rosters set early.

Just in case you were wondering, I added a couple of the images this week. Extra Spawn points to anyone that can guess which ones...
- Bigasshammm said...
Well done with the images. I think this should be a staple for the rest of the FF season.
- Andy said...
I am way ahead of you big fella.
I am doing my research and collecting now. - 11/22/2009 10:56 AM

Does anyone else think the Lions game won't be close? If that Monday Night game is any indication, Detroit is a MUCH better football team.
- Andy said...
Never underestimate the ability of the Lions to make bad football teams look good.

WTF was that game? There was a group of 5 of us watching the game and seriously cheering when the Lions scored at the end. At this point why win? Why lose a few draft spots to have another meaningless win? There were offensive plays for the Clowns that we've never seen before that actually worked. Where have they been all season?
- ohio_guy said...
I guess I can agree with the "why lose draft spots" argument. Though, I was still pretty pissed at the end. Very frustrating way to lose a game.
- Bigasshammm said...
What a fiasco of a game though. WTF?!? why do you fake a field goal with under ten seconds left before the half only to then kick the field goal on the next play. Also why go for 2 after the final TD? What possible goal did that achieve? Sure it made it so the extra point decided the game but REALLY an extra point? That should be made 99.5% of the time in the NFL.
Dumb all around. I'm glad the Clowns lost. - 11/22/2009 8:07 PM
- Bigasshammm said...
Can we devote a week of posts to her?
Bigasshammm has invaded facebook. Really I don't know what I'm doing but why does it not surprise me that no sooner have I created it do I see 616's face wanting to be my friend.
Anyway if anyone has it and wants to be my friend hit me up. - 11/22/2009 9:34 PM
- ohio_guy said...
I'm guessing they were hoping for TD on that fake FG.
As for going for 2, might as well. There's not much of a difference between being up 4 and up 5. Plus, we have blocked a few kicks this year so it was worth a shot.
Btw, that was a nice playcall on the 2 point conversion. Wish we would have done that in some goal line situations earlier this year - 11/22/2009 11:13 PM

If you see an Autosomal barred Bird (I really prefer to call this color Quill or Pencilled, hence the confusion with Cuckoo), the difference is usually obvious. The biggest difference is that Autosomal is never an overall pattern. The Bars are also much wider usually.
True Barring and True Cuckoo (B and B^sd, respectively) as I understand it appear, like demonstrated, at the same locus as different alleles.

Not without my daughters (and son)

Patrick Poole's summary of the tragic case of Ashraf Al-Jailani and his three children, whom he refuses to return to their mother's custody, makes for very uncomfortable reading. Actually, "tragic" isn't the right word–so many of the actors have acted with either malice, complacency, cowardice, or naivety that the story reads like an infuriating farce. I've ended up feeling sympathy only for the three children who are being used as political pawns in this international fustercluck.
Al-Jailani was deported to Yemen in 2004. He was accused of domestic abuse in the home, and the children were taken out of the home. With the support of CAIR, al-Jailani's wife pressed to have the children returned to her, and won. She took them on vacation to see their father in Yemen, and he decided (and was supported by Yemeni law) to keep them there and send his wife back to Ohio alone.
I certainly don't feel any sympathy for the motley collection of far-left interest groups who made al-Jailani a poster boy for their anti-deportation crusade, and found themselves betrayed by Al-Jailani. Like the Gitmo lawyers who find themselves tapdancing around the fact that so many of their poor, misunderstood little lambs get sprung from US custody and return to the battlefield, I've long stopped giving these groups credit for noble intentions or good judgment.
I feel a great smoldering contempt for the Portage County, Ohio child welfare authorities who had recognized that Al-Jailani was an abuser, his wife was an enabler, and that the children needed to be removed from that environment. Under pressure from CAIR and their allies (as well as Al-Jailani's wife), and threats of being branded Islamophobic, they knuckled under and overrode the assessment of the case worker who recognized the problem.
And though her position is a terrible one, Al-Jailani's wife Michelle Swensen comes off like a naive and useless fool. She was a victim of abuse at his hands and was warned by the case worker that the children could be detained in Yemen, but she chose to stand by her violent, terror-linked man. Not only did she fight the county and allow herself to be used as a political prop by the anti-American Left, she naively ignored the county's warnings and lost her children as a result.
Read it, and weep, and be sure to note this detail about the movement to fight Al-Jailani's deportation:
Amazingly, it was those allegations of his connections to al-Qaeda that his supporters used to oppose his deportation, claiming that he would be tortured for his terrorist connections if he were returned to his native Yemen. Today Ashraf Al-Jailani is now a high-ranking Yemeni government official in the Ministry of Oil and Minerals — a previously unknown form of torture.
Wow, I never saw that one coming. I'll bet Yemen-blogger Jane Novak is shocked, too.
More on the Al-Jailani children here.

Thanks to Al Frances for an interesting and timely discussion. It's certainly the case that we have a long way to go in unraveling the pathophysiology of the most serious disorders we treat. It's also true that some so-called "lab tests"for psychiatric disorders (such as for major depression) have been over-sold and over-marketed--a topic covered in the pages of this newspaper [see Arline Kaplan's article]
But I would argue that our current state of knowledge and research is not that of a "dead end" or a "stalemate", even with respect to those elusive biomarkers and lab tests. I believe we are actually on the cusp of truly important biological findings, which, in perhaps another 5-8 years, could have real clinical utility.
To cite one brief example: a meta-analysis conducted at the University of Paris, involving 28 fMRI
or structural brain studies, found evidence of functional and anatomical alterations in bipolar disorder, in brain networks associated with the experience and regulation of emotions; e.g., increased activation in ventral limbic brain regions [Houenou et al, J Affect Disord. 2011 Aug;132(3):344-55. Epub 2011 Apr 5.]. And yet, who knew about Houenou? A careful review of the literature, in my view, will show that we know more about the pathophysiology of several neuropsychiatric diseases (including schizophrenia and major depression) than many in our own field--much less the general public--realize.
To be sure, psychiatric diagnosis--as with diagnosis in much of neurology and pain medicine--remains a clinical science and art. But we are making rapid progress in the realm of biomarkers, endophenotypes, and imaging studies.

The trip was very well organised by Juniper Wings, headed by Joydeep Ghoshal. Two teachers from our school accompanied us. All of them had their share of experience regarding wildlife and we learnt a lot from them. We stayed at the White Tiger Forest Lodge. Bandhavgarh National Park, which is known primarily for its tigers, is also a paradise for bird watchers.
Our teachers in particular are extremely skilled birdwatchers. They taught the budding photographers from Akshar how to make the best use of cameras to capture flying birds. It was because of them that we spotted over 80 species of birds such as the Malabar Pied Hornbill, Blue-bearded Bee-eater, Changeable Hawk Eagle and Jungle Owlet, among others.
The Bandhavgarh National Park is divided into various zones. We had three game rides and we ventured twice into the Magdhi region and once into the Tala region. The two regions we entered had completely different types of terrain. The Tala region is more dense and picturesque with 10th century AD caves and a huge figure of a reclining Vishnu.
When it came to spotting tigers, our group was divided and moved in three different jeeps. Tigers could be spotted only in Magdhi. Over two days we were able to see as many as five different tigers and that too from very close quarters. The tiger is such a regal creature. It has such grandeur and dignity. It is sad that we humans are killing such a majestic animal. Besides tigers and birds we saw other animals such as the wild boar, gaur, jackal, sambhar and the rare jungle cat.
An added bonus was spending some time at Bhedaghat near Jabbalpur to take a boat ride on Narmada river and see the beautiful marble rocks. An exciting moment was when we spotted three majestic Indian Eagle Owls perfectly camouflaged in the rocks.
The trip has affected each of us in different ways and we have become wiser with experience.
Gaurav Balakrishnan, Class X, Akshar

Version tested: Wii
A warning to all trend-conscious Wii owners: rubbishy mini-game compilations are so last season. The latest fashion for autumn Y2K8 is rubbishy driving games, preferably with a futuristic twist. Or so suggests the latest pile of wretched old tat to land on my desk, of which 75 per cent consists of rubbishy driving games. Two-thirds with a futuristic twist.
One of them isn't too bad, to be fair. Another one almost makes it into the realms of mediocre. But the third is less playable than tennis on a trampoline and seven thousand times less fun. Just to top things off, the remaining 25 per cent is made up of a rubbishy mini-game compilation. Well done everyone.
Time to take a look at what's strolling down the catwalk this season, then. As Gok Wan would say, "Let me feel your bangers, it's all right I'm gay." Or rather, "Let's get going, gorgeous!"
Off Road
It's always worrying when the developer can't even be bothered to think up a name for their game and ends up going literal. Here we have Off Road, the latest effort from the studio which brought us Football Game and Shoot Things. Probably.
Off Road is officially licenced, at least - there are Ford and Land Rover logos on the box, and proper cars in the game. They are joined by ugly visuals, terrible AI and pathetic physics. Not all of the cars handle badly; some of them handle appallingly, and as the game progresses you can unlock vehicles which handle awfully, shoddily, dreadfully and horrifically.
Theoretically, you steer by holding the Wii remote horizontally and tilting it left and right. In practice, the slightest of nudges will send your car swerving around like it's being driven by a flailing shark who's caught his fins in the wheel. The cars appear to have been made of PVC and filled with helium, judging by the way they float across the track and spring bouncily off obstacles.
There are ice, desert and water environments to drive around, though due to the aforementioned handling these might as well be margarine, extra virgin and WD-40. The races are utterly tedious. It's enough of a struggle trying to make your car go in a straight line, let alone worrying about opponents who zoom off right away at the start of the race never to be seen again.
There's a half-baked attempt to offer a range of game options - tournament, arcade and career modes, checkpoint and slalom challenges and so on. But none of them are enjoyable; they merely represent different kinds of tedious, with great dollops of frustration mixed in. There is also a split-screen multiplayer mode where you can only see half of your car at any given moment.
Off Road is not as hateful as, say, RealPlay Racing, but you still shouldn't buy it.
Emergency Heroes
This game looks like it's based on a shonky Saturday morning cartoon series, perhaps one subsidised by the Canadian Goverment and produced collaboratively by studios in Japan and Quebec, who argue constantly over how spiky the hair should be. In fact, Emergency Heroes has been invented by Ubisoft, and produced collaboratively by studios in Barcelona and Newcastle. I was hoping for Byker Grove as reimagined by Gaudi, but I was disappointed. Instead, think Knight Rider meets Casualty. On Caprica.
Emergency Heroes is set in a futuristic world where just one emergency service takes care of all crime, medical and fire-related business. As a member of this task force you're given a series of missions to carry out, and a collection of increasingly silly vehicles to play around with. Take the fire engine, for example - which is in fact a big red SUV with a giant hose welded to the roof. Then there's a police car which looks like a blue Batmobile with an enormous black and yellow-striped snowplow stuck on the front. There are also buggies, motorbikes, trucks and plenty of other vehicles - nearly 50 in total.
Missions involve things like chasing another car and ramming it to the point of destruction, or using the hose on to extinguish fires as you drive round a circuit. None of them are tricky to complete, and most of them are so easy as to be tedious. Like the ones where you just drive the blue Batmobile through pile after pile of burned-out cars, which requires no skill other than the ability to drive the car in a straight line.
This is a much easier proposition than in Off Road, as the controls in Emergency Heroes aren't too bad. Once again you hold the remote horizontally and tilt to steer. There's a little bit of swerving and the handbrake is so excitable it's pretty much useless, but basically the controls work.
The environments are described as "free-roaming", which is fair - you can choose what order you tackle missions in, and must drive to different start points to embark on them. However, there's not much of an area to roam around, and what there is isn't pretty. It's all sci-fi skyscrapers, ramps, overpasses and monorails, and it all looks like it belongs in a PSone game.
Still. Emergency Heroes has got police snowplows and fire jeeps and motorbikes and if you fill up the turbo meter you can go faster, and you can put the siren on whenever you like, and it's not too hard and you don't die and if you are a five year-old boy you will love it.
If you're the parent of a five year-old boy, you can sit them in front of Emergency Heroes and leave the room, confident it's less graphically violent than an episode of The Archers. Just be aware that for anyone over five, it's also less thrilling. Which brings us neatly to:
Speed Racer
This game is based on a cartoon series, the same one that inspired the Wachowski brothers' live action movie spin-off. Think F-Zero and WipEout meet... Just think F-Zero and WipEout, seeing as Speed Racer rips off both of those. It's quite good fun.
There will be no prizes for originality, though. Speed Racer features championship, single race and time trial modes. You can drive different cars with different balances of speed, acceleration, handling and strength. The lady driver's car is pink. The tracks are punctuated with plenty of tunnels, jumps and loop-the-loops, and look like they've been made by squashing a disco into a ball and flattening it out with a rolling pin. The music is traditional boomchi-boomchi-boomchi nineties beats with seventies-style riffs over the top; it sounds like what would happen if Robert Miles got drunk next to a tape recorder with Earth, Wind and Fire.
Just as with Emergency Heroes and that other driving game so tedious I've forgotten what it's called in the time it took to write the preceding paragraphs, you steer your car by holding the remote sideways. But the calibration is much better here, and there's the added bonus of stunts and car combat. You can perform jumps and rolls by jerking the remote upwards, and shunt into other vehicles by jabbing it left or right. This feels intuitive and works surprisingly well. You can throw in button presses to pull off flashier moves, which adds depth and almost manages to make up for the fact the combat is referred to as "Car-Fu" throughout the game.
Stunting and shunting fills up your boost meter, as does driving over the many speed pads littered around. Save up four boosts, and pressing B four times will send you into The Zone. This means you'll zoom along at super-high speeds, bashing anything in your path off the track. Best of all, your car turns to glowing golden jelly, green and silver sparkles spin psychedically through the air, and everything else turns a bright, pulsating, brain-trembling purple. It makes Rainbow Road look like the M4.
It doesn't take long to master the combat moves, and it's easy to unlock all the tracks, characters and vehicles within an afternoon; don't expect anything like the challenge and complexity of WipEout or F-Zero. The multiplayer won't ever hold a candle to Mario Kart, either, and it's only for two players. But if you should spot Speed Racer in a bargain bin, and fancy a few hours of simple, entertaining arcade racing, it's worth a look.
Sports Party
At last, croquet comes to the Wii! It's just one of nine mini-games which comprise Sports Party (except they're really just four mini-games wearing different hats, but more of that later).
Have no fear, Sports Party has nothing in common with the abominable Game Party. Well, "nothing" is a bit strong; they've both got the word "Party" in the title, and they both represent a waste of the time of every single individual involved in their creation. But the former is published by Ubisoft and is merely piss poor; the latter is published by Midway and is less enjoyable than drinking piss. Then sicking it up. Then washing your hair in it.
Plus, Sports Party has better production values (the fact Sports Party has production values is an improvement over Game Party, though). There's a nice tiki theme to the whole thing. The visuals are relatively decent, with a fair amount of detail and animations that aren't completely wretched. The steel drum-infused soundtrack makes you want a pina colada.
But what of the games? Why, they are rubbish, of course. The true test of any sports-themed Wii mini-game compilation is its Wii Sports tennis rip-off, and this one wears a badminton hat. It's rotten. Immediately after a player serves, the camera swings round from behind their character to take an overview of the court - even though the shuttlecock is still in motion. This is extremely disorienting and makes it hard to time your return accurately. The problem is compounded by the fact you don't have the extra second of thinking time afforded by the bounce in Wii Sports tennis. The volleyball mini-game is badminton dressed up differently, and suffers from the same stupid camera thing.
Quite why Ubisoft decided to revive the olden days sports of horseshoes and lawn darts is anyone's guess, but here they are. It's hard to imagine throwing rusty bits of metal at another bit of metal was all that much fun in 1848 and it's certainly no more fun today, though you are less likely to die of tetanus. You just press B and make a throwing gesture to chuck the horseshoes, and it's hard to believe the game is really measuring the motion or strength of your movements; so any success you enjoy feels like pot luck. The lawn darts mini-game is horsehoes with a hat on, and just as entertaining i.e. not very.
But ah, the croquet! Or as it's more commonly known, polo for people who are too poor to own horses but too posh for Swingball. I've never played the real thing, preferring to spend my time dancing, drinking, smoking some fags, playing some pool and watching roaches climb the wall. So I do not understand the rules and cannot tell you if this is an accurate virtual interpretation of the sport. It's quite relaxing though and you can choose what colour balls you want.
The mechanic is the same as that used in the mini-golf game - hold your remote pointing downwards, and swing it like a mallet / club. You have to ensure the remote is perfectly straight and aligned with the floor, which is annoying, especially if you're on your fourth pina colada of the afternoon. And the game isn't brilliant at judging the strength of your swing. However, the mini-golf courses are nicely designed, and certainly more interesting to play around on than Wii Sports golf's tedious old rolling hills.
And finally, there are three basketball games. Not six, as the main menu cheekily implies; just the same three games on two different courts. Someone ought to call Trading Standards. All the games are rubbish due to the fact the mechanic of flicking the remote doesn't work properly. As with horse darts, it feels any points you score are down to luck.
There are other problems with Sports Party. The instructions preceding each game are over-complicated, absent of any visuals and for some reason presented in capitalised font, Which Makes Them Odd To Read And Is Very Annoying Let Me Tell You. They're likely to put off non-gamers who just want to wave a remote around without worrying about super-spikes and scoring systems.
But the main issues are the limited selection of mini-games, and the fact none of them are much fun. There aren't really nine games here, whatever the back of the box might say; you're really getting horse darts, volleyminton, crogolf and basketballbasketballbasketball. They're all lazily designed and won't entertain anyone for more than a handful of goes.
It could be worse; it could be Game Party. I described that as being like "a party where there's nothing to drink but Tesco Value brandy and there are only four other guests and they're all racist then your ex turns up and gets off with a Danish supermodel". This is like a party where the brandy is at least from Sainsbury's mid-price range, and the four guests are thinking about voting Conservative because it's time for a change actually, and your ex turns up with some CDs you left behind and you have a nice chat about how work's going. Still. You wouldn't pay 19.99 to go to that party either, would you?

Articles from the Institute Letter
Additional articles from new and past issues of the Institute Letter will continue to be posted over time and as they become available.
Letter from the Director: The Most Successful Route Often Begins with a Short Step to the Side
By Robbert Dijkgraaf
I am honored and heartened to have joined the Institute for Advanced Study this summer as its ninth Director. The warmness of the welcome that my family and I have felt has surpassed our highest expectations. The Institute certainly has mastered the art of induction.
The start of my Directorship has been highly fortuitous. On July 4, I popped champagne during a 3 a.m. party to celebrate the LHC's discovery of a particle that looks very much like the Higgs boson—the final element of the Standard Model, to which Institute Faculty and Members have contributed many of the theoretical foundations. I also became the first Leon Levy Professor at the Institute due to the great generosity of the Leon Levy Foundation, founded by Trustee Shelby White and her late husband Leon Levy, which has endowed the Directorship. Additionally, four of our Professors in the School of Natural Sciences—Nima Arkani-Hamed, Juan Maldacena, Nathan Seiberg, and Edward Witten—were awarded the inaugural Fundamental Physics Prize of the Milner Foundation for their path-breaking contributions to fundamental physics. And that was just the first month.
Nearly a century ago, Abraham Flexner, the founding Director of the Institute, introduced the essay "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge." It was a passionate defense of the value of the freely roaming, creative spirit, and a sharp denunciation of American universities at the time, which Flexner considered to have become large-scale education factories that placed too much emphasis on the practical side of knowledge. Columbia University, for example, offered courses on "practical poultry raising." Flexner was convinced that the less researchers needed to concern themselves with direct applications, the more they could ultimately contribute to the good of society.
Tracing the "Traffic in Women": Moral and Political Economies of Sexual Labor
By Elizabeth Bernstein
In recent years, the trafficking of women and children into the sex sector has become the focus of a steady spate of media coverage, the subject of abundant policy interventions, and the target of local, national, and transnational activist campaigns uniting highly diverse constituencies. From the political left to the far right, from secular feminists to evangelical Christians, sex trafficking is frequently described as "modern day slavery" and is considered to be a moral question that is "beyond politics," something no one could possibly claim to be "for." This unity is all the more striking given the fact that definitions of the term remain murky, with many states and activists applying it not only to forced but also to voluntary forms of sexual labor. Despite this ambiguity, sex trafficking has risen to a position of cultural and political prominence that it has not held since the "white slavery" panic similarly circled the globe at the turn of the last century.
This surge of interest presents sociologists and other scholars with some vexing social and historical questions. If prostitution is the "oldest profession," why the resurgence of interest in it now? How has the issue of sex trafficking come to unite constituencies that otherwise have opposing politics and interests, especially in relation to matters of sex and gender (as ongoing political controversies over gay marriage and abortion powerfully reveal)?
Measuring International Law through Piracy
By Eugene Kontorovich
My work uses the international response to piracy, both historical and contemporary, to assess the effectiveness of international criminal law and cooperation. Recent decades have witnessed the unprecedented growth of international criminal law and institutions. These developments are seen widely as signs of international law's maturation: it now directly regulates individuals and is backed by criminal sanctions. Scholars and activists now imagine a future in which a cosmopolitan international law will break through national self-dealing to bring "an end to impunity" for atrocious crimes, fostering a world based on norms rather than power. On the other hand, some worry that internationalization will come at the expense of accountability and democracy, or simply dress geopolitical vendettas in legal robes.
The current debates about international justice remain mostly normative and theoretical. To the extent that they invoke precedent and evidence, they are drawn from the small universe of international criminal cases in the past two decades. It is evident that the modern international criminal justice system is not fully developed. The much vaunted International Criminal Court, for example, has only convicted one defendant. Its future efficacy and consequences cannot be assessed or predicted from its present embryonic state. Piracy provides a unique study in the progress and potential of international criminal law. For hundreds of years it has been a universal jurisdiction crime—one which any nation can prosecute, even with no connection to the offense. Indeed, the modern regime of international criminal justice was inspired by the legal treatment of piracy. Studying the legal treatment of piracy allows one to see what a fully matured system of universal justice would look like.
The Sound of Scholarly Serendipity
By W. Anthony Sheppard
When I arrived at the Institute last September, I thought I knew exactly what I would accomplish as a Member in the School of Historical Studies—I would complete my book, Extreme Exoticism: Japan in the American Musical Imagination, and would launch a new project on vocal timbre in twentieth-century music. By January, having made reasonable progress, these goals still appeared attainable. However, through a chance encounter with a nineteenth-century musical artifact, my carefully crafted research schedule was completely derailed. This opportune encounter led me to make a series of discoveries concerning two of Puccini's operas and to develop insights into the global circulation of music over the past two centuries.
My wife and I had promised our children we would occasionally visit our home during the year. The distance between Pownal, Vermont, and Princeton, New Jersey, proved crucial to the direction my research would take. The drive is just long enough to invite stops at cultural and natural attractions in northern New Jersey. As graduate students at Princeton in the early 1990s, we had visited the Morris Museum in Morristown to view its collection of American art. I was aware that the museum had since dramatically expanded its holdings to include the Guinness Collection of mechanical musical instruments and automata, and so we decided to visit again last January. I soon discovered that scholarly serendipity may strike in surprising settings.
How Our Brains Operate: Questions Essential to Our Humanness
By John Hopfield
All of us who have watched as a friend or relative has disappeared into the fog of Alzheimer's arrive at the same truth. Although we recognize people by their visual appearance, what we really are as individual humans is determined by how our brains operate. The brain is certainly the least understood organ in the human body. If you ask a cardiologist how the heart works, she will give an engineering description of a pump based on muscle contraction and valves between chambers. If you ask a neurologist how the brain works, how thinking takes place, well . . . Do you remember Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, full of fantastical evolutionary explanations, such as the one about how the elephant got its trunk? They are remarkably similar to a medical description of how the brain works.
The annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience attracts over thirty thousand registrants. It is not for lack of effort that we understand so little of how the brain functions. The problem is one of the size, complexity, and individuality of the human brain. Size: the human brain has approximately one hundred billion nerve cells, each connecting to one thousand others. Complexity: there are one hundred different types of nerve cells, each with its own detailed properties. Individuality: all humans are similar, but the operation of each brain is critically dependent on its individual details. Your particular pattern of connections between nerve cells contains your personality, your language skills, your knowledge of family, your college education, and your golf swing.

Leadership & Community Engagement LLC
"Being a part of the Leadership and Community Engagement LLC, I have the unique opportunity to be surrounded by leaders of all different kinds of backgrounds, past, and ethical/moral codes. I am able to learn and grow as a leader with others with the same purpose." – Roger Dean II (resident on the floor)
Join the Leadership and Community Engagement LLC floor!
Do you enjoy getting involved in the local community to make a positive difference? You can live on campus with other students like you - come join us next year on the second floor of Piedmont. The students here are interested in a range of social change issues: health care, homelessness, animal welfare, the environment and more. They're addressing them through community service, advocacy, and political action. This year's LCE LLC residents say their floor-mates are like a family. On our last survey, 100% of them said they would recommend it to a friend.
So what exactly have we done?
In the Fall Semester of 2012 alone, the LLC has:

Online Research Participation System Our department provides hands-on opportunities for undergraduates to become familiar with how research is conducted. Because you are a student in a 100 or 200 level psychology course at MWSU, you have the opportunity to be a participant in real psychology studies.* All studies are reviewed and approved in advance by the MWSU Institutional Review Board. When you arrive at each study, that study will be explained to you by a researcher and you will have a chance to ask any questions you may have about participation. Log-On to the Experiment Management System for studies throughout the semester as you want to earn course credit. You are encouraged to check the research study availability often. Each study is briefly described online. First Request an Account by clicking on 'request an account here' text and entering your user information.
If you are participating in research, it is likely that your instructor has asked you to participate in research in exchange for course credit. Please refer to your course syllabus or ask your instructor for details that are specific to your course (e.g., amount of credit you will receive, whether participation counts toward course credit or extra credit). Consider participating early in the semester as availability will decrease (e.g., many students trying to participate) at the end of the semester. *If you are under the age of 18 you may not be able to participate in research studies. |

Game #136: Cleveland Indians (57-78) at Detroit Tigers (72-62)
By Mike Brandyberry
Monday afternoon the Indians took advantage of two early miscues by Alex Avila and a well-pitched game by Corey Kluber to win the first game of the series, 3-2. Asdrubal Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to break the tie and give the Indians the lead for good and Vinnie Pestano slammed the door in the ninth inning.
The loss drops the Tigers a game behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central Division standings. Detroit had crept into a first place tie after a weekend sweep of Chicago, but gave the game right back on Monday. If the Tigers never overtake Chicago for the division, they'll be able to point to the Indians as a reason. The Tribe has now won eight of 13 games between the two teams this season.
Justin Masterson (10-12, 4.91 ERA) will try to straighten out some inconsistencies of late and solve his inability to defeat the Tigers in Comerica Park. Masterson was bombed in his last outing, allowing eight runs in four innings of work to the Oakland Athletics last Thursday. The loss drops him to 3-4, with a 7.62 ERA over his last seven starts. To make matters worse, he is 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in Comerica Park for his career.
Detroit will send their own inconsistent pitcher to the mound in Rick Porcello (9-10, 4.57 ERA). He is currently on a career worst, four game losing streak. In his last three starts, however, Porcello has allowed three runs or less in each start but has received zero runs of support from his normally slugging Tiger lineup. Porcello struggles against the Indians like Masterson does the Tigers. He is only 1-2, with a 7.56 ERA in five career starts against the Indians.
With the Columbus Clippers' season complete after yesterday's game, the Indians recalled David Huff, Scott Maine, Cord Phelps and Vinny Rottino from Triple-A. The Indians current active roster stands at 33 available players. Huff was 7-6, with a 4.97 ERA at Columbus this season. Maine made two scoreless appearances since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs on August 29. Rottino has already made one brief appearance with the Indians this season and Phelps had the best year of any of the four, hitting .276, with 16 home runs and 62 runs batted in at Columbus.
Chris Perez is expected to be back in uniform and available this evening after his wife gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday.
Game time is slated for 7:05 pm from Comerica Park in Detroit. The forecast is calling for light rain all evening, so a delay is possible. The game can be seen on SportsTime Ohio or heard on the Indians Radio Network.

Kindness Is In Me: Poems in Praise of Men (Print NW, 2011), a book of poetry and photos by Bill Kelly '68, portrays generally overlooked acts of kindness and compassion by men who are "quietly assisting all of us in building more convivial communities." The event that inspired this project was profoundly tragic: the murder of four police officers at a coffee shop in Tacoma, Wash., in 2009. Kelly's work highlights the ordinary fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, and friends whose extraordinary qualities of compassion, wisdom, and kindness "are trying to heal the eons of damage they inherited from men who wielded masculine power." Liz Carney '11
The 7 Keys to Unlocking the Secrets of Your City's Budget (CreateSpace, 2011) begins with a simple but important premise: City budgets, much like cities themselves, are all unique— financed, formatted, and even arranged differently. Mary Jo Zenk '80 educates citizens of all backgrounds to the fundamentals of understanding city budgets. With 25 years' experience as a budget analyst, Zenk guides readers through understanding the basic elements of any budget document, then she builds to help people make moredetailed decisions on how to allocate city spending.

J. Michael Gospe Jr. '85, MBA '91 distills 25 years worth of marketing experience into The Marketing High Ground: The Essential Playbook for B2B Marketing Practitioners Everywhere (CreateSpace, 2011).

Josefina's birthday is coming up, but the really important part of the story deals with Josefina's relationship with Tia Magdalena, who is her godmother and a healer.
( In other cultures she would have been referred to as a "wise woman," someone who knew about various herbs and materials that could be used for healing people's illnesses. Such people were present throughout history in various societies. In Native American society they would have been referred to as medicine men and medicine women.)
(In much older times such women were the only actual healers in the societies, as the "doctors" of the time were really men who had very little actual knowledge of medicine and healing, believing that "bleeding a person," (using leeches to drain blood from a person or even cutting a person's arm to let out blood), would cure the person's ills since it was "bad blood" that was making them sick.)
(The wise women knew better, though, and they did the real healing in the community. The male doctors of the time, in Europe, hated these women since they were competition (and they were actually doing real healing, not the fake stuff the male doctors were doing), and this is one of the reasons, although not the main one, that many women ended up being accused of being witches and were executed.)
Anyhow, Josefina breaks something that belongs to Tia and runs away. Still, she wants to be a healer and is given a chance to show her abilities when a friend of hers is bitten by a rattlesnake. Things work out well and Josefina now knows what she wants to be when she grows up.
The historical section talks about babies, children, and the types of work children did at the time.

Maggiano's - Cumberland
Online Reservations
The ambience was perfect. The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. It was truly a wonderful birthday dinner.
My wife and I were seated immediately upon arrival, and our server did a great job of noticing what our needs were and ensuring we never went without anything. Our meals were prepared with the utmost care, and was delicious! I truly enjoyed my date night with my wife, and will definitely go again!
We had 10 for my birthday and it was EXCELLENT! Friendly, prompt service and great food.
The service is the best we could ever hope for and the great atmosphere is set by the managers, Trevor and Tim. The servers are all terrific and the food is cooked to order so all of our dietary needs are met. The food is excellent and you can choose any side with any entrée. We order the dinner entrees so we can have another delicious meal the next day. We love the spinach and chopped salad along with the plank salmon, veal, chicken and beef dishes. There is a wide selection of entrees, sides and salads with great dressings like apple cider vinegar. The servers and managers are all customer service oriented and each time we go it is a real treat. They are all welcoming and appreciate their guests. We recommend it highly.
Special occasions or family dinner. All experiences for get togethers always a great place to share time and fellowship.
Parking was toughso get there early and definitely make reservations! Excellent food and moderate priced.
I always love dining at this particular restaurant. service very professional. impeccable knowledge of wine selections for parings. no long waiting periods for services rendered. highly recommend this particular restaurant! SUPERB!
Always a great meal. Friendly service. Our group enjoyed the family style dinner. Will look forward to my next visi .
We got the meal for two and enjoyed all 4 of our entrees, appetizers and dessert. The chocolate cake was so good!
The famous rigatoni D is my new favorite meal to order. I like maggiano's because you get a lot of food at a reasonable price. The did is always seasoned perfectly and is simply delicious. My only issue was my waitress. She wasn't has attentive as I would've liked. She never came back to refill our drinks and often walked passed our table as if we were not her customers. This was my 3rd time visiting this location in about a month. I have nothing bad to say about the food but this time around my only issue was the waitress.
Took a group of employees to dinner. We had a very nice time. The food and service was spot on.
My wife and I went to Maggiano's on Saturday evening before catching a show across the street at the Cobb Center. We were looking for a great place to celebrate our anniversary and we were successful. From the first moment we walked in, everything was perfect. Great attention to detail and friendly and fast service. The food was awesome and well priced. I recommend the Balsamic Salmon with Spinach & Tomato Orzo. What is normally a prenty simple dish exploded with a great combination of flavors. We will certainly go back.
The food was excellent but he service was lacking.
We visited Maggiano's @ Cumberland Mall for my mom and aunt's 60th birthday. It was a last minute decision but getting a table was SUPER easy with open table. The staff at Maggiano's, specifically our server, was excellent! it was a little tight at the table we sat - we had a party of 6 and they sat a party of about 10 directly behind us, making it hard to maneuver - but all was well :)
I took my wife here for our aniversay dinner and was well pleased with the food and surroundings. The food was excellant and we had a great experience here. Waiter seemed to take a long time in responding for more drink and we had to ask for our drinks to be replinished. When we asked for more drink he would take a very long time to come back to our table. We decided that he did not like for us to ask for more drink.
We booked a large group for a lunch meeting with visiting staff members from out of state. They were impressed and we all enjoyed our meals to the fullest. Most even got to take home an uncooked delicious dish at no additional cost with select pasta choices. Always enjoyable when I stop in.
Maggiano's is as good as it comes for an Italian chain concept. Parking is a major issue at Cumberland that will make me think twice any time I consider Maggiano's. You have a choice of fighting for a parking place in the lot or paying $6.00 valet + $? tip to the valet. I can go to Houston's or other places and not have to pay to park or search endlessly for a parking place. Now, about the food and service. We sat at the bar on a Friday night. We were treated well and really enjoyed the food. They also have a lot of good wines available by the 6 oz. or 9 oz. glass. As an added, unexpected bonus, they gave us each a pasta dish of our choice to take home with us. That's what's for dinner tonight.
The food was good and plentiful. Our waiter was personable but not efficient. We waited for about 15 minutes to get our check. Maggiano's is always a good experience. It would have been a great experience if the service had been a little better.
One of our party has difficulty walking and a booth close to the entrance was requested when reservation was made, as well as an added request that our booth be in front of a window. This was on a Friday, so I really did not think it would be possible. Needless to say we were thrilled that when we arrived we were escorted to exactly what had been requested. This meant a great deal to the person with the walking disability because it was not discussed in front of her and it just seemed like we were given a great seat. THANK YOU, Maggiano's at Cumberland Mall for making this a seamless wonderful treat for everyone. Oh, the food was absolutely delicious and we all had leftovers and our "take home" pasta for the next day.
The food, waiters, service was great. Would/will do it again
Excellent ambience and food... Great service. Would recommend that you make an appointment. Everyone was very friendly.
Magianos continues the great consistency. Thanks for making a meal with my visitng Mom memorable. Lou did a great job as our server.
We highly recommend Maggiano's for both excellent service as well as food. The servers and managers are all customer service oriented and care about their diners. They remember your food preferences and dietary needs and always welcome you. They are knowledgeable about the menu and are happy to substitute sides for your entrée. Food is always served as you order it with your varied preferences in mind. Everything is cooked to order and always excellent. I cannot eat butter or much salt so they make sure my salmon is lightly seasoned. Instead of butter they use olive oil for my bread. We are always pleased with our selection and this is our favorite restaurant. It is a lovely dining experience and everyone is so nice.
I had a friend coming up from Florida to do a Seminar in Atlanta. His first experience with our city. He knows of Maggiano's but had never experienced her. Everything was perfect! He loved Maggiano's and the meal got us off to a great start in Atlanta. Thanks for "doing me proud".
I had a great experience at Maggiano's.f I am vegetarian, but I love the stuffed mushrooms. I ordered a salad that had a meat topping of bacon tossed on top. As I began to pick the bacon off, my waitress offered me the opportunity to get a salad devoid of the bacon toppings. I really appreciated this gesture. The new salad was delivered promptly and courteously to my table. That was VERY generous of the restaurant, and I will return. Thank you so much.
Food was excellent. Our waiter was on top of things. Restaurant was nice except it was very very loud.
The food was outstanding. I do wish a salad was included with my meal, but it was still a lot of food for the price. And I love the menu special "buy one take one". It makes it even a better deal. I felt bad for our server because she had a huge party plus 2 other tables to take care of so we got neglected a little bit, but she was still great and another server helped us too so it was all fine.
Maggiano's is always good- good food, good service, good atmosphere! And the take one home is a special treat! Wish there was one a little closer to me.
I enjoyed dinner.y server Michelle was awesome and offered many things. If I return I hope she's my server.
Good experience. Met old, out of town friends for lunch and a visit. We were never rushed. Thanks.
Great food and service...with the right waitress. 1st waitress was a dud. But, after getting a booth that came available, 2nd waitress made up for it on a special birthday night.
Very close to Cobb energy theater. We were able to have a nice dinning experience without rushing to get to the theater. I noticed that there were a lot of groups doing the same, we were with a group and service was excellent, no waiting or worrying about getting to the theater on time
Great atmosphere, outstanding service, wonderful food = Five Stars!
Simply fantastic. I've been to Maggiano's Little Italy a few times now and each time we go I am floored by the food and service. This place is truly and awesome dining experience.
My girlfriends and I have spent our annual holiday dinner at this location for the past 6 years and always have a fantastic time. The staff is always friendly and the food is yummy! This year we had Brenda as our waitress and she was amazing! Not only did she have to deal with the 5 of us, but our spouses too! We were a party of 9 and not once did she seem overwhelmed - what a Rock Star!
My girlfriend and myself just wanted a special night out ,excused from everyday life.We were treated like kings and the meal was great.The chef came out to the table due to my gf's allergies and prepared a meal for her that was out of this world. Thanks you guys,you did a great job.
Went to this restaurant for a meal to catch up with an old friend. We had great service in every way. Consideration for our needs and space and time give to talk. We were there early and did not leave for over 2 hours. It was like watching a carefully maintained operation with many people being expertly taken care of with professional courtesy. Would be more than happy to return anytime. Ambiance is warm and enjoyable as well as the food.
Our family dined at Maggiano's for Thanksgiving Dinner. The staff was welcoming, pleasant and attentive. The food was excellent and plentiful as usual. We enjoyed the meal tremendously and did not feel rushed.
I think Maggiano's nailed it! This is one restauirant where the service is very good, the food is great, the price point is very affordable, and the ambience is like anything you can find in Europe. But all this in the US. Great Job with a great concept!.
You cannot bet the price for an all you can eat traditional Thanksgiving dinner with an Italian twist. My only comment is that the ham, yams, turkey and stuffing were not hot. The pasta, sides, and salads were all the correct temperature. Dessert were heavenly.
Every time I have dined here, I have been pleased and satisfied. I will continue dining at this locale and probably will dine at another location.
I took my family here for Thanksgiving so that my dad wouldn't have to deal with the stress of cooking for once. They had a set Thanksgiving menu with options to choose from. The food was fabulous and all I heard on the way home was how good the food was!
Good food; excellent staff; and an extra take-out meal for some menu items made my family's visit a gastronomic and economic success.
It was a great experience from the moment we walked in the door to the time we left the restaurant. The hostess greeted us with a smile and kind words. We had reservations and were quickly guided to our seating that we had requested - a big comfortable booth! Our waitstaff was knowledgeable and courteous. Our glasses were never empty and the bread basket was always full. The food was the same hearty fare as usual - but it seemed to taste even better with the great service - Kudos to the manager who hired great people and obviously trained the employees to not only be the best but to actually appear to lIke their jobs! We will be back and pass another M on the way to get there :-)
We were treated very special by our server Sean. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. We will go back again and again
The Family style option is fabulous for any group. The food is delicious and the restaurant does not rush you to leave because they are set up for long course meal options. Truly had a wonderful time catching up with my college buddies.....Awesome restaurant and the service was fabulous.......
Five ladies celebrating a birthday dinner with lots of food at the table and food to take home too. Yum
The service was excellent. Our servers made sure we were satisfied with our food. the food was served on time
Excellent service staff who are attentive, yet not hovering.
Great restaurant and great service. My only complaint, it was cold in the restaurant.

nursery for 1 year old
My husband and me are thinking about moving to Guangzhou. We have a daughter of 1 year who is now going to nursery in Cairo. She enjoys it very much and I like it as she meets other children. I can however hardly find any nurseries in Guangzhou that take children below the age of 2. I guess most people have a nanny. My choice would be to take her to nursery if possible. Does anyone know of any good (international) nurseries/kindergartens in Guangzhou or Pan yu or maybe in one of the other places just outside Guangzhou that take babies of this age? Thanks!

Re: nursery for 1 year old
Pearl River Square Bei'en Kindergarten is the best school for small kids but it also provides nursery and education for infants aged from 2 6 years old only.
British School and Clifford School also cover kindergarten, elementary and secondary school. These schools have full-time Chinese and English bilingual school.
You can contact the schools personally and discuss about your concerns. Even though I doubt that they will take kids below 2 years of age, still take a chance.

Cold War Kids to release new album, tour
A somewhat reliable source once told us sophomore means "wise fool" in Greek, and while this is commonly seen in the second-year college student whose GPA takes a nosedive due to excessive beer-bonging, its also seen in the music world.
With their sophomore album coming out in September, it will be interesting to see if the Cold War Kids go down the wise path, meander into fool territory, or end up somewhere in between (Mediocreville, in case you were wondering). Given the critical and commercial success of the band's debut, Robbers and Cowards, we're betting (or at least hoping) the Kids have gone with the first route.
In addition to a new album, the band is gearing up for a North American tour, starting in August at the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco and ending in October at the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans.
