NPR's "Tell Me More" posted the following commentary by S. Pearl, in conjunction with the opening of the film For Colored Girls, directed by Tyler Perry..
I am a colored girl. Have been one ever since I first saw For Colored Girls . .who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf and discovered that a stage full of women were talking, publicly, about parts of my soul, before I was able to have that conversation with my self.
Thunder and lightnin' lit up the Black community when Ntozake Shange's choreopoem, For Colored Girls . . opened on stage in New York City, in 1974. Black women of all ages sucked teeth in disapproval, or wept openly. After one Broadway performance, a couple exited the theatre in a highly animated conversation.
"Unh!" the woman exclaimed, banging her umbrella repeatedly on her male companion's body. "Unh!"
"What did I do?" the brother pleaded as he dodged the blows.
"All of you! All of you did it!"
"Naw, I didn't do nothin' but show up!" he retorted. "I've been here for you. So what did I do!?"
The play stimulated a plethora of Black Man/Black Woman panels, relationship seminars, several divorces and angry shout-backs from brothas who saw the whole thing as a man bashing picnic. But women who had been sitting on their pain, or spewing it in unidentified anger, started gathering in circles of communion. "Somebody almost walked off wid alla my stuff" and it was time to get it back.
That was 37 years ago. Now, as For Colored Girls is recreated in Tyler Perry's film adaptation of Shange's work, what is different about a colored girl's anger, love, her rainbow?
The divorce rate among Black couples in the U.S. has tripled since 1974, the suicide rate has risen dramatically and two-thirds of Black family households are headed by single women. Two women in the film version deal with HIV and AIDS, conditions that were not in our vocabulary back in the 70's. Unlike the film version, the play celebrated our joy, and we still wear out some linoleum, dancing with laughter in our hips. Sitting in that theatre almost four decades ago we could hardly have imagined that our role models would now include Michelle Obama, Mrs. Chief-Of-Staff. Or Mae Jemison, first Black woman to fly to the moon.
Still, I am a colored girl who, for years, could not get through the song that ends For Colored Girls . . . without tears. In an environment where the Black woman is an undervalued stock, worshipped simultaneously as madonna and whore, prayer powerful and easy prey, we are still seeking ourselves. We are still learning and needing to chant, without apology,
"i found god in myself
& i loved her/ i loved her fiercely"

Brilliant Speaker

I'm so glad she did, i My wife bought this for me after spending time in the apple shop comparing it against the bose equivalent. I'm so glad she did, it's amazing. The sound quality is perfect and for such a small speaker the depth of the bass is superb. Whilst I acknowledge that sound preference is so subjective, I cannot speak highly enough of what this little speaker can produce.

I agree on the jumping for the first game (along with the psp iteration). It was too driven by physics. The nice thing about the second one is you get to have control over customizing this stuff when making levels. Plus also being able to do viecles will be awesome.
Also. You can`t tell me that some parts in the video didn't make you want to see a 2d recreation of pikmin. ;-)
As for user generated levels. Much like iPhone market. There is a sea of shit to swim through but luckily there is some good stuff out there. LBP team just needs to improve the interface so this stuff is easier to get to then the crap.
This is true for any hobby, whether it be the library of the media (games), or libraries within the media (LBP's levels). I don't see why people are moaning.There is a sea of shit to swim through
LBP was a fun game, made a nice change from all the FPSes out there...
Looking forward to this. It also reminds me to play the PSP version again.

I think the trailer wowed me throughout, but if there's one thing that really stood out for me...it was when they showed a fully-functioning Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble game. Puzzle Bobble. If they can do Tetris then I think we can officially say that anything is possible in LBP2. :3
Oh, and hold on: Custom protagonists? RPGs?
Basically LBP2 is a klick&play clone ? Hey good for them.

Or buy it from me.
Yes, I would like to play it, and I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun. I just haven't wanted to play it enough to open it. Plus, I feel like my SDTV will ruin it.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
media molecule has developed such a crisp graphics engine, its too bad they don't use it to develop an actual game instead of this build your own level nonsense.
Both first games (PS3 & PSP) are really annoying to me I think I won't purchase the second one if there isn't a big change in the game :-(
1. Buy the game, play it.
2. Don't buy the game, don't play it.
3. [Some combination of 1 and 2].
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I think no matter what everyone thinks about the actual gameplay with physics, ragdoll and all - the game still deserves a lot of credit for the really innovative concept of interactive game design. It really let you create little own games, hidden inside the coat of a platformer. Few games tried that before, and none was as accessible and full of variety.
I haven't played LBP for more than an hour and it's not really what I expect from a platformer. Slow movements (as said: rather leaping than jumping) etc., I need a platformer's controls to be fast and immediate, but it's still a great game and I appreciate the leap in interactive level design which it really stands for.
59,630 > 57,300
I'm not saying LBP was a bad game, its just that for me it gets tired too soon...
For me 3D puzzles are part of the game, not THE GAME itself, devs put them to cut the tension (or boredom, depending of the game) and change the gaming mechanics for a while.
In LBP besides running around (slowly BTW) you only do puzzles, is too simple for me.
fuck it, everyone buy 3D Dot Game Heroes

6 Meetup Groups match "Manga" near Silver Spring, MD
Meet fellow Anime, Manga, Cosplay and Gaming Fans near you! Come to a local Baltimore Genshiken Meetup for fun, friends and talk about your favorite Anime/Manga artists, shows and games. Share your own art and fiction! Whatever interests you about Anime, Manga, Cosplay and Gaming is cool.
A group where Generation Y (25 and older) members of the videogame, anime, and/or the manga community can get together and talk about these subjects in a safe and comfortable environment. We'll mingle and meet new friends, to show that there's more to life than staying home glued to T.V. We also hope to include those with Asperger's to join the fun. Each gathering will start with a discussion of a predetermined topic such as game evolution theories, new information on upcoming anime, even fun …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
The Graphic Novel Bookgroup reads in as wide a range as there are literary genres. The one commonality is that they all involve stories told with the aid of pictures - sequential storytelling. Obviously, this definition does not limit the content, and, if you were to browse several graphic novels, you'd find striking variety: memoir, journalism, literary fiction, humor, experimental, abstract, underground comix, sketchbook/journaling, superhero, mainstream, manga, manwha, the list goes on. Like …
Hello, I created this meetup to get together groups of people to watch anime series and movies while playing great board games. People can also bring their Xboxes, Wii's, and other consoles to play as well. There will be movie nights to go out and see new releases of Miyazaki film or any other Anime movies, (or any movie that fits our fancy) and just have a good time to meet new people that enjoy the same interests. I hope to see you all at the meetups!
This group is for people that want to find more friends to attend anime and scifi related conventions with. We all know that going to a convention by yourself takes away some of the fun in the convention. Here people can arrange groups for conventions or other activities around the mid-Atlantic region.
'Square City Comics' is a self-publishing comic (graphic novel, web comic, etc.) group based in the greater Washington, DC area. We are a handful of artists and writers who meet at least once a month to discuss our projects, characters, ideas, problems, etc. Though we each move at our own paces, we are all dedicated to making comics. Our sessions are a productive and positive place to share issues and get regular feedback. The ultimate goal is to help each other self-publish our own projects and …

PRIME: Celebrating Design Excellence in Indianapolis
Good things are happening for the Indianapolis design community and Miles Design! PRIME–the first annual AIGA Indy Design Awards Show–is opening to the public this Friday, and we're excited to share that four of our entries were chosen to be included in the show.
For those of you not familiar with PRIME, or AIGA Indy for that matter, here's a quick background on both. AIGA, the professional association for design, is the oldest and largest professional design organization consisting of more than 22,000 members and 64 local chapters across the country. Our local Indianapolis chapter represents design students, professionals, and educators all across Indiana–providing a mix of events, initiatives, outreach programs, and more.
This is the first year for PRIME, and it's been a long time coming! The pieces honored this year were selected for their visual excellence and demonstration of strong design processes and real-world, measurable results for the client. The judges, no doubt, had some very tough decisions to make, and I don't envy them one bit! Accepted work will be on display until Thanksgiving at Dean Johnson Gallery in downtown Indianapolis. After that, a book showcasing the work will be created and distributed both locally and to AIGA chapters across the country.
Miles Design is honored to be recognized among our peers, and we're even more excited that we can be a part of a show that celebrates the great design happening in and around Indy. There's a lot of talent here, and we're thrilled to be a part of it! If you're free Friday, November 6th, we hope you'll have a chance to mix and mingle with us at the show opening. And, if you find yourself downtown before Thanksgiving, take some time to stop by the gallery. We promise you won't be disappointed!
PRIME – First Friday Opening
Friday, November 6
5:00-9:00 pm
Dean Johnson Gallery – 646 Massachusetts Avenue
Accepted entries from Miles Design include:
1. Knozone – www.knozone.com
2. Miles Design – 2009 New Year's Card
3. Kevin Kennedy Associates – Identity System
4. BRAND PHOTODESIGN – Identity System
Congratulations to all the designers with work on display and to all of the companies, clients, and individuals being recognized along with them.

CLEAN REGIME: Kimberly from Kimberlyloc.com
Photo By Denene Brox Photography
Kimberlyloc.com has the perfect recipe for a blog: one part natural beauty reviews, a pinch of outfit inspiration and wardrobe snaps, mixed with recipe ideas and the occasional cupcake! As a similarly minded clean beauty aficionado, I couldn't wait to read Kimberly's skincare and makeup picks. Read on to discover this stylish media superstar's clean regime…
Also head over to Kimberly's blog to check out my guest post on my favourite clean beauty picks!
Morning Shower
I've got my shower routine down pat, but as a beauty blogger, it's normal for me to rotate products on a regular basis. Here's what I've been using and loving for the past few weeks or longer.
And, for full disclosure, I did receive most of these products as press samples. Those that are starred are ones I purchased myself.
- Shampoo - Seaweed Bath Co. Natural Seaweed Argan Shampoo in Citrus: This shampoo doesn't lather like a typical, conventional shampoo, but it has enough suds to give you that placebo effect of "clean" without overdrying.
- Conditioner - Seaweed Bath Co. Natural Seaweed Argan Conditioner in Citrus: Because I'm still testing Seaweed Bath Co. products, I'm using the companion conditioner to complement the shampoo. I condition just the ends of my mane (I've got a naturally oily scalp). I let the conditioner sit in my hair for a couple of minutes while I wash my face, and then I make sure to rake a wide-toothed comb throughout my hair to distribute the conditioner throughout, but without concentrating it on my scalp.
- Face Cleanser - *Primavera Moisturizing Cream Cleanser: I choose cleansing creams in the morning just to add a bit more moisture since my face is essentially clean anyway (if I was good and washed the night before!). I really love the milky texture and fresh smell of this particular cream cleanser.
- Body Wash - Kiss My Face Peace Soap: I prefer "energizing" body washes in the morning, like ones made with peppermint, tea tree or a citrus fruit, to help awaken my senses. This 100 percent castile soap is really slippery on the skin and a little goes a long way. I use a loofah to help it lather (natural lather thanks to coconut oil!) and give my body a good scrub and rinse. I also make sure to get the conditioner residue off my back to avoid bacne.
Morning Prep
- Body Oil - Zoe Organics Love My Body Oil: I'm the biggest body oil fan out there. I stockpile the stuff, and I always get so many compliments on how soft my skin is from my boyfriend and my best friends. Oil is the secret sauce! This is definitely a calming ritual straight out of the shower.
- Toner - Cecilia Wong Skincare Rejuvenating Toner Mist: Toner seems like it's one of those unnecessary products, but with the right toner with the right ingredients, you will notice a difference. I like Cecilia Wong's toner because of its amazing smell and top-notch natural ingredients, like chamomile, lemon, lavender and rosemary. The spray bottle shoots out the perfect, most-fine mist that lightly covers your entire face in just a couple sprays.
- Sunscreen - Sunday Riley Cashmere SPF 30: I committed to wearing sunscreen every day a few years ago, and it's just become a ritual for me to massage in my daily protection pre-makeup. I go back and forth between Badger Balm's Damascus Rose SPF 16 Face Sunscreen Lotion and Sunday Riley Cashmere SPF 30, but Sunday Riley usually wins because it has a higher SPF. Both products smell lovely, though, and do well under makeup.
- Lip Balm - *John Masters Organics Lip Calm & Dr. Hauschka Lip Balm: I'm kind of ridiculous when it comes to lip balm. I tend to just grab whatever's on top of my lip balm bowl, but I do gravitate toward John Masters Organics when my pout just needs a boost. If I'm extra dry that morning, I choose something a bit thicker, like Dr. Hauschka, for a more healing effect.
- Eye Makeup Remover - *Trader Joe's 100% Pure Jojoba Oil: I don't spend money on traditionally marketed eye makeup remover. As I mentioned earlier, oil is the secret sauce for pretty much any need you may have. I use jojoba oil to remove my eye makeup as well as the makeup from the day.
- Face Wash - Jurlique Purely White Skin Brightening Cleanser: I like the smell and extras that this cleanser packs: the promise of a more-even skin tone and a gentle exfoliation. I use this one at night so that the antioxidants can help my skin overnight.
- Face Serum - La Bella Figura Barbary Fig Seed Renewal Serum: I can't stop singing the praises of plant oils, but barbary fig seed oil really takes the cake. It puts argan oil to shame (sorry, shampoo and conditioner!) with its massive amounts of healing vitamin E and omega 6. The smell of this serum is sweet yet understated, and I love that it doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. I let this soak in for about 10 minutes before I hit the sack so I don't waste any of this precious oil on my pillow!
- Eye Serum - La Bella Figura Decouverte Under Eye Repair Serum: I stay up way too late reading, writing and wasting time on the Internet. To keep my eyes from giving me away in the morning, I use Decouverte on those especially late nights to combat dark circles. It's packed with vitamin K, which has been shown to help reduce dark circles, and a little of this roller-ball product goes a long way!
- Blemish Treatment - *Desert Essence 100% Australian Tea Tree Oil & *Trader Joe's 100% Pure Jojoba Oil: Now that I'm in my later-20s, I don't have to worry about acne as much, but I do still get breakouts here and there that motivate me to keep jojoba oil and tea tree oil on hand. I spot-treat pimples with a dab of tea tree oil mixed with jojoba (you've got to be careful about using straight essential oils if you have sensitive skin!) to help calm blemishes.
- Concealer - Jing Ai Masquerade Concealer in Indian Princess: This concealer has great coverage and a thick consistency — perfect for covering up blemishes and under eye circles (not that I have those because I use Decouverte! :)). The packaging is really cute and the concealer contains organic champagne grape oil…makes me feel luxurious.
- Powder/Foundation - *Aveda Inner Light Mineral Dual Foundation in Honey: I like this because it's a pressed mineral foundation (I don't do well with loose powders) and you can really control the coverage you want — light, medium, heavy — based on what kind of brush or applicator you use.
- Blush - Mia Mariu Mineral Blush: I like that this blush has vitamins A, C and E in it, and it's a good replacement for the NARS blush I used to swear by.
- Mascara - *Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes!: I haven't found the perfect natural mascara, but this one is pretty good for lengthening. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect fit, so please shoot me some ideas! And I would be a cheat if I didn't mention that I do use a conventional mascara in between my natural mascara product hits and misses.
- Lips - ILIA Lipstick, Mia Mariu Hydrating Stick Gloss, Clark's Botanicals Lip Treatment, Hurraw! Black Cherry Lip Balm, *Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster: I pretty much always have between 5-10 lip products in my bag at all times. I'm obsessed with ILIA lipsticks as well as Mia Mariu's Hydrating Stick Glosses. I also love Clark's Botanicals' glosses as well as Hurraw! Tinted Lip Balm, and I just picked up Tarte's version of the chubby stick lipstick trend.
- Eyelash Curler - *Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler: I have stick-straight, Asian eyelashes, so if I had to choose between mascara and an eyelash curler, an eyelash curler would win! I use Shu Uemura's eyelash curler.
Nail Polish
- SpaRitual 'Ebb & Flow'
- OPI 'A Roll in the Hague'
- Butter London 'Yummy Mummy'
- *Zoya 'Kimmy'
- China Glaze 'Gaga for Green'
- Essie 'Bikini So Teeny'
I love everything that Zoya, Butter London, SpaRitual, Essie and OPI release. I definitely treat nail polish as an accessory!
Some of these brands are more natural than others, but I do appreciate that they are all at least three-free.
For spring/summer, I'm loving these colors: SpaRitual 'Ebb & Flow,', OPI 'A Roll in the Hague', Butter London 'Yummy Mummy', Zoya 'Kimmy', China Glaze 'Gaga for Green', and Essie 'Bikini So Teeny'.
Face Mask
Once a week I like to treat myself to a spa day at home. I use different masks every week depending on my needs, but I definitely have repeat visits with this one.
My aesthetician also loaded me up with several samples of Eminence's Clear Skin Probiotic Masque, so I save those for when my skin is feeling rebellious.

MANHATTAN - Santa Claus made an early visit to Manhattan this year. It was a visit for one very special boy who is fighting a life-threatening disease.
Nine-year-old Tyson Reardon, who has been fighting T-cell lymphoma for more than a year, had a wish to just get away. On Tuesday, that wish was granted by Santa with the help of the Make-a-Wish program.
For the past five years, Macy's has raised money for the Make-a-Wish program to send Santa touring the country, granting some of those wishes.
Manhattan helped Tyson with school while he was receiving chemotherapy in Denver. His grandpa says the community support has been incredible.
"The support of Manhattan is just been great. We were overwhelmed with the people we got to meet and how nice everybody is and welcoming and you know prayers and everything from the people here were just great. Everybody tells you, 'He's on my prayer list.' That's just great, great to hear," his grandfather said.
Now, Tyson will be travelling to Hawaii. He likes science, loves the outdoors, but wishing for Hawaii is much simpler than that. He says he's never been there before and thinks it will be fun.
Macy's bus will be in Twin Falls, Idaho on Thursday, then off to Sacramento next week. Fifty wishes will be granted this year before Dec. 14.

Simply Italian Eatery's cuisiners craft an extensive menu of made-to-order and preprepared Italian spreads within a casual food haven that fuses the epicurean delectations of a restaurant, bakery, and café. Muffle atonal stomach saxophones with a trip to the Market Stand ($8, $4 with entree), a buffet brimming with soups and salads, before mouth diving into a bowl of traditional pasta, such as the penne primavera ($9) or gnocchi al romano ($10). Feed a table of teenage mutant bon vivants with a cheese pizza ($6+), or with one of many traditional pies such as the margharita or roasted eggplant ($10+). Discerning carnivores can sharpen their incisors on a selection of meaty entrees, including the chicken parmesan or veal scaloppine ($12+), and vegetarians can hang a fang on the canneloni- and basil-covered capresse classico salad ($8).
The casual eatery welcomes the lunch and dinner crowd, as well as those looking to sip or slug a tropical cocktail at the full-service cantina-style bar. Each order from the varied menu is freshly prepared in front of the hungry eyes of diners and the watchful eye of Zeus. All tacos ($2.19–$2.59), burritos ($4.99–$6.99), nachos ($5.99–$6.99), and quesadillas ($4.99–$6.99) are compiled from a mixable-and-matchable array of salsas and fillings, such as guacamole, choluha corn salsa, and jalapeños. The starring role is to be determined by each feaster—and the nominees are: beef, chicken, grilled steak, Russell Crowe, shrimp, veggies, ground beef, or shredded pork. Pirates dying to try out their fork-hand attachment can shiver their timbers on a customizable salad ($5.99–$6.99), and younger feasters can sink whatever teeth they have into a kid's meal served with chips, a cookie, and kid's drink ($3.59). Take the feasting fiesta to go by building a take-home value pack, which feeds four to eight hungry mouths. Simply select a meat, shell, bean, and salsa option, and add on your favorite toppings (prices vary) for a spiced-up family meal, business meeting, or Oktoberfest blowout.
When he first saw the rolling hills and forests at Mistwood, course architect Jerry Matthews was enchanted by its suitability for a golf course. Matthews carved 27 championship holes into this variegated topography, divided among three nine-hole courses that combine for challenging 18-hole rounds or play singly for golfers who need to save time for savoring the taste of victory. Whether playing the red course, blue course, or white course, golfers send their balls soaring over bent-grass fairways and spinning over fast, well-bunkered greens, aiming carefully to avoid the smattering of lakes that await stray orbs.
Adjacent to the final fairway of the white course, an executive course named the Little Nine completes the fairway buffet at Mistwood Golf Course. Here, players hone their short-game skills and strive to take just three strokes at each hole, ideal for three-toed sloths with poor counting skills.
After swinging their way past open fields and dense thickets, players make their way to the clubhouse, where Bogey's Snack Bar awaits downstairs, and upstairs, Sunset Bar & Grill serves whitefish and ribs as diners lounge on its deck and gaze out over the blue course and the verdant practice range.
Course Combinations at a Glance:
Coyote Crossing Resort nestles into the bordering Manistee National Forest, dusting the landscape with rustic timber dwellings armed with modern amenities. Each two-bedroom unit houses contemporary accouterments such as satellite TV, a full bathroom, and WiFi access, allowing curious kids to learn about nature before dipping their toes into it. Triplicate cooking options keep growling bellies from upsetting the surrounding wildlife, including a fully equipped kitchen, a charcoal grill, and fire rings that yield flame-licked fare. Drawing inspiration from 50 acres of surrounding woodlands, rich wood lines the walls and floors of each cabin. Upon stepping outside, guests will find themselves minutes away from attractions such as the Pine River, Lake Cadillac, and various public beaches.
The rustic ski lodge at Treetops Resort swaddles guests in charming hospitality during nights in Standard Inn rooms and days spent skiing down high-elevation runs. Boarders can rest on one of their chamber's two double beds to test mattress springiness and walk onto their patio or balcony to shout challenges at the mountainside. Dump bags and memories of summer in the cozy lodging before traipsing out into the snow with an all-day ski pass to zip down the 23 runs in celebration of gravity's eternal pull. Three lifts shuttle ski-strapped daredevils into the sky before releasing them to careen down the friction-free, serpentine trails. Guests in need of a snow-propelled refresher can bunny-slope through a 60-minute group ski lesson to learn proper stance and effective snowplow stops, and riders can rent skis, snowboards, or snowblades if they don't have sets of their own.
The northern Michigan town of Prudenville edges one side of the 22,000-acre Houghton Lake. During warmer months, groups flock to the water for jet-skiing and kayaking. Between Houghton Lake and nearby Higgins Lake, there are more than a dozen launch sites for boating; local shops rent out boats for all kinds of trips, whether you want to fish for the lake's abundant bass, brown trout, and walleye fish, or just take a relaxing cruise. The two lakes are also lined with sandy beaches, which have picnic pavilions and waters safe for swimming.About 16 miles north of Springbrook Inn is Marguerite Gahagan Nature Preserve, which is threaded with a network of hiking and biking trails across 60 acres. Signs pop up throughout the trails that tell informative tidbits about the white- and red-pine forest and cedar swamp habitats. A small stream known as Tank Creek also cuts across the preserve, and it's lined with boardwalks and decks that overlook the water. One paved trail is wheelchair accessible.Read the Fine Print for important info on travel dates and other restrictions.

8:30am Friday 6th September 2013
By Sarah Taylor
THE world renowned Ashmolean Museum is set to open its doors in Broadway at the weekend.
On Saturday, the collection in the 17th century Tudor House will open to the public for the first time.
The Broadway museum will display a selection of objects and works of art from Oxford's Ashmolean Museum but will operate independently.
The project has been made possible by the owner of the building, John Keil, who offered it on a long-term lease to an independent charitable trust so it can be opened to the public as a museum.
Mr Keil said: "Opening Tudor House to the public and revealing its history has been a long-standing ambition and I am delighted to see it come to fruition.
"Working with the Ashmolean has been a great opportunity and the redevelopment project has uncovered a number of interesting facts about the building which will be showcased in the new museum."
These facts and the history of the building will be reflected in the interpretation and displays, as will the history of the area.
Displays on the ground floor will explore the building's early history with objects including a tapestry made at the famous Worcestershire factory of the Sheldon family who owned the Manor of Broadway between 1539–1680.
The top floor will be devoted to temporary exhibitions from the Ashmolean's collections and for the use of local groups and contemporary artists.
The first exhibition will open in May next year with works on paper from the Ashmolean collection by John Singer Sargent, as part of the Broadway Arts Festival.

Tiger Woods tees it up with President Obama
PALM CITY, Fla. (AP) — President Barack Obama teed it up with Tiger Woods on Sunday.
The White House confirmed that the President and the world's most famous golfer played a round at a secluded, exclusive yacht and golf club on Florida's Treasure Coast.
Once the sport's dominant player before his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods joined Obama at the Floridian, where Obama is spending the long Presidents Day weekend. The two had met before, but Sunday was the first time they played together.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
Severe acute respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. SARS was first reported in Asia in Febuary 2003 and over the next few months, the illness spread to more than 2 dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak was contained. Globally, SARS caused 9,069 cases of disease and 775 deaths.
As of April 30 2003, there had already been a total of 201 probable cases of SARS and 722 suspect cases have been reported.
1. Overview
1.1 Symptoms
In general, SARS begins with high fever (temperature greater than 38 degree celsius. Other symptoms may include headache, an overall feeling of discomfort, and body aches. Some people also have mild respiratory symptoms at the outset. About 10 - 20% of patients have diarrhea. After 2 to 7 days, patients may also develop dry cough which further develops to pneumonia.
1.2 How SARS spreads
The main way that SARS seems to spread is by close person-to-person contact. It was though that SARS is transmitted most easily through repiratory droplets when a person sneezes or cough. The virus also can be spread when a person touch an object that is contaminated with repiratory droplets and proceeds to touch his nose, eyes, or mouth. However, it is not known to be air-borne and there should be close contact with infected victims to be infected.
2. ICT's role in this epidemic
Infrared Fever Screening System, or IFSS, is a system designed by the Defence Science Technology Agency (DSTA) and ST electronics and works like a thermal imaging sensor. It is used to screen the body surface temperature of people and thus screen out suspected infected victims down with fever instead of using thermometers. This is so, to cut the number of paramedics needed for a screening, effectively improving efficiency in detecting SARS for quick quarantined measures.
The device feeds data into a computer, and feverish foreheads show up as red spots, and cool ones as blue on sihouetted images on a computer screen.
2.2 Surveillance
2.2.1 ePIC camera
On March 24, the Ministry of Health invoked the Infectious Diseases Act to quarantined all contacts who have been exposed to SARS patients. This legislation allows mandatory home quarantine for 10 days, which is enforced by CISCO, which installs an electronic picture (ePIC) camera at the home of each contact.
The ePIC camera is an Australia manufactured stand-alone camera requiring only a phone line and power outlet to operate. About 500 cameras were deployed for the SARS incident. According to reports, they were off for most of the time, with quarantined individuals required to present themselves in front of them only after recieving a telephone call from government officials.
2.2.2 DegC-Trek
DegC-trek is temperature monitoring system developed by Fujitsu implemented in some schools, and companies. It is built on Fujitsu's Mobile Application Service Provider (ASP) operation platform, and automate temperature recording, which at the end of the day, statistical report can be generated, providing instant checking of specific temperature records, and quick retrieval of historical temperature records.
It works through an SMS system, where after taking a temperature reading, each individual will send an SMS message containing the temperature reading to a pre-designated phone number. It will then be picked up and recorded by the system and will be processed to produce a statistical report or graphical display for easy viewing and retrieval.
2.3 Contact with victims
At the hospitals, only one visitor is permitted and only after wearing a mask and passing a temperature check; all other visitors used video conferencing system to speak to their relatives in the patients' wards.

Best Uses
Hammer part of heavy duty hammer drill goes through concrete like hot knife through butter. Good tools with great specs. Came with 2 Fat 3.0 AH batteries and 30 minute charger.
Best Uses
This is as good as it gets. The drill set combo is an excellent buy. I bought it as a reconditioned item, but it feels brand new. Great savings on these reconditioned items. This company has great customer service and delivery is quick.
Best Uses
I was looking for a tool company to go with when it came to buying tolls for building my future home. I want a company that was not owned by some other conglomeration yet had a solid product. I found one.
Best Uses
My team loved these tools right out of the bag.
Replaced a 28v Milwaukee drill because it was worn out. This one seems to be just as powerful. The hammer drill worked great with a 3/4 bit through concrete. No complaints so far except I prefer a hard case to a bag.

Truluck's Seafood, Steak and Crab House - Ft. Lauderdale
Online Reservations
Good food slow service but made up for it with hospitality!!
We had an absolutely wonderful dinner. The food was excellent and the service was great. Will go back again.
Well trained and experienced server. He was awesome. His food suggestions excellent. The ambiance very intimate and romantic. Loved it.
The staff was professional, genial, without being intrusive. Great Sea Bass and Tuna choices and sidea we couldn't stop picking at long after we thought we were done. Even the coffee at the end was good!
We sat at the bar and had a great experience. Food was great, drinks were better, service was perfect.
The restaurant makes a point of how pleased you will be with your experience,well they were right. This was probably the best dining experience I have had in many years Thank You. From the hostess to the manager it was superb,the food was excellent and you can be assured we will bring other friends here.
Food was great but was charged for something the waiter said he was gonna give us (thought it was free). We went for our anniversary and they did give us a free dessert which kinda made the experience better.
Food was excellent. The steak was very tender and delicious. We ordered a ny strip steak and filet and the strip was as tender as the filet. Definetly will visit again the next time we are in Florida. Also the staff was very professional and helpful.
Great meal, really fantastic. The wine list was extensive and the service was on point. Excellent seafood.
amazing food and service, they were on their A game
First timer I was very impressed with the service and the sea bass is amazing. Tremendose wine selection. Eric the manager is one of the best I've seen, made us feel great. I have recommended since my vist on Friday.
The food was fresh and delicious! The service was impeccable! I will be back! Pricy but worth it.
Never had a bad meal at Trullucks, and Fort Lauderdale continues to excel even over it's restaurant in Dallas.
This turned out to be a fine dining experience. Somewhat pricey, the service was five star and my choices were great one's. The lobster bisque was as good as any I've ever had ( and I am a lobster bisque fanatic). My Filet Dynamite was a 7 oz. Filet mignon topped with lump crab meat and shrimp prepared 3 alarm hotness. The potatoes that accompanied this delicious main course were equally tasty. Thank you Truluck's, you'll see me again. I look forward to sampling your wine offerings next time, when I'm not the designated driver.
Friendly staff. We had a margarita and acai martini. The martini was served with mixed berries, which gave it great flavor.The drinks were excellent! From there we were seated at a nice table. Our server, Monica arrived and took our order. She was great. We ordered another round of drinks and ceviche. The drinks were good, but this time, the martini was served with a lemon peel which changed the flavor. We would prefer the drinks be served the same as our first round. We ordered the halibut with asparagus and the 10oz filet with spinach. The halibut was great. The filet was a bit dry and spinach was too salty. Maybe the filet sat too long before they served it. Overall, the experience was good but, the food was a bit under whelming.
The entire dining experience at Truluck's was amazing. Service was excellent, food was quite tasty, and they have a good wine list. Looking forward to returning again in the future.
Service and Food were impeccable. Didn't know this existed in South Florida. This was a true dining experience. The food was perfectly prepared, perfectly served. Could not ask for a better evening. What a gem!
Every time I have been here, you can tell the staff from the phone call to confirm your reservation, to when you arrive, then the phone call the next day to ask about your experience. This place is extremely professional and actually cares about their customers. Love going to this place...
The restaurant is very nice. The staff was great. They were a little short on valet parking attendants, but it was a Saturday night. The food was good. It was not a very quiet scene, but there was some good vibe and energy. Overall, we had a nice experience, and we would recommend the restaurant to others.
Have now been to all three of south Florida's trulucks restaurants – each one serves great meals with great service – always a wonderful evening
Love this place. Excellent service, food & wine! I had the crab cake entree and it was Devine.
Soon as arrived, they were very attentive. Our server was very friendly and helpful. They had live performer singing and Piano. Food was delicious!!! I had the Sweep and Spicy Halibut and my Wife the Miso-Glazed Seabass. Everything was fabulous. To finish the night we had the Carrot Cake for Dessert, very BIG and yummy. Overall a great experience. Will definitely come back.
Truluck's was a wonderful experience. We had 9:15 reservations and arrived a little early. We had to wait until our reservation time, which wasn't an issue, live music in the bar area entertained us. Upon being seated we had a wonderful waiter, Frank, OUTSTANDING! is the only way to describe him. He offered suggestions from start to finish. All great choices. He was extremely patient with bring appetizers to entrée. We never felt rushed as some waiters tend to be. We were able to take our time and actually enjoy our complete meal. The food was excellent.The experience was top notch! We will definitely be returning.
This was our first visit to Trulucks and certainly won't be our last! We arrived about 20 mins before out resv time so we found a seat in the bar. It was a very busy Sat nt. I ordered a glass of wine and them decided to order an appetizer while waiting. It took us a little while to get a server to take our app order. Our table was ready before we received our app. We tried to take care of our bar tab but was insisted to go on to our table. Tracy, the bar manager, delivered our app and another glass of wine! The food and service was over the top! When we got our bill, the app and wine was not on it. Thank you Tracy! We even received a phone call the next day asking about our dining experience! That is service!
It was a special anniversary with the whole family and was memorable. The food was fantastic , the presentation superb. It was our first time there, but will go again for sure!
Our food was delicious (fish and stone crabs), the service was outstanding, the staff was cordial and friendly, and the ambiance was perfect (lots of diners but the spaciousness between tables/booths makes it still feel intimate). Thank you for a wonderful evening!
For those of us in Broward county and north, save the gas and head to Trulucks this stone crab season and you will not be disappointed. I will put there claws up against Joe's and Trulucks will surprise your palate. Sorry Joe's but I think there's are as good as it gets. We had the all you can eat Large and we didn't hold back. After we both finished off our 15 th, we called it a night. The ambiance is always a Trulucks statement and the service was outstanding even though the place was 100 table occupied. Our server Louis took great care of us from start to finish. A co-manager, Eric stopped at our table to introduce himself and made sure that our needs were met and that we were enjoying the experience. Go to Trulucks and enjoy as we did.
We went on Monday to take advantage of the all-you-can-eat stone crab. We were not disappointed. The all-inclusive price for soup or salad, side dish and the large stone crab claws was reasonable. The staff was very attentive. I would recommend Truluck's to anyone who want to DINE, not just eat out.
This was our second time dining here in a week. It was just as enjoyable the second time! Excellent service and food! We will definitely be back when we are in the area!
On a very busy night, with the boat show in town, the restaurant was full and service was slower than we have usually found there. But due to the long wait between courses, the manager apologised and put things right by comping the drinks. So still overall a very good experience.
We live in Miami and come up to Trulucks in Ft Lauderdale to meet friends who live in Boca. We were seated prompty. Our waiter disappeared several times during dinner but 2 other staff members took over. We never seemed to know who would be showing up. We ordered the Date Night menu and 3 of the 4 of us had the steak. We all agrreed we thought at that price and given Truluck's usually excellent food the steaks would be tender but they were all tough! For dessert we all ordered the chocolate cake. One piece was brought to the table and we had to cut it into 4 pieces. That should have been done in the kitchen plus we saw what got brought to the table next to us and their piece was larger than ours.
Excellent dining! Great ambience! Had a booth table, which Was good choice as we were celebrating our wedding Anniversary. Great staff but service a bit slow
Our experience at Truluck's is the same as always Excellent! We have dined her numerous times and they never fail to deliver a great meal and great service. The Hot and Crunchy Trout is one of our favorite dishes..
I have eaten several times at Trulucks in Mami. It was smaller and had a bit more ambiance. Ft Lauderdale was not as quite and quaint. However, the food, service, wine, ect. Was awesome. I am usually with friends at a conference. This time I was with my husband and would have liked to be tucked away in a corner. Next time I will request that table. Overall great dinner.
Trulucks never disappoints. They do magic with simply sauteed fish or a grilled filet. The oysters are always fresh and delicious We love it.
Waiter, Todd, was very attentive to any and all of our needs. Timing was excellent on food delivery, and the food quality was superior. Prices were in line with other first class restaurants. Definite price quality relationship.
First time there. Few bumps in the road with service but made up for. Overall a very good all around experience!
We had a late dinner reservation on a Saturday night (9:00 PM). The place was extremely busy and energetic. Everything about the evening was very nice. The service was very attentive, the wine list had variety and solid choices and the seafood was very fresh. Everything was prepared perfectly. And . . . save room for the carrot cake. It is huge. We took some of the remaining slice home for the next morning's breakfast. Wow!
Excellent service and food. Our waiter was fantastic. We had the calamari appetizer. For dinner we ordered the miso sea bass, snow crab, ahi tuna and filet. Our guests loved all their meals. They sent over a birthday dessert (lava cake) which was delicious.
Javier Martinez was remarkable! We dine out regularly, Capital Grille, bourbon steak, Market 17 and the like but Javier made the evening a delight. His explanation of the food his timing and just him being him.
This was my first visit. Liked at atmosphere. A friend and I had the stone crab claws. They were fresh and delishous. The server was ok but not the most attentive. The soup came at the same time as the main course. Long wait at that. There was a good crowd but not every table filled to warrant the wait. I would try it again.
Although it is more ansteak than a fish restaurant,we enjoyed the fish. The 3 level fish tartare was very fresh made, the taste was pure and full of flavors. The same for the halibut and the lobster tale.Service was excellent and the interior charming. Somewhat on the pricy side
We always enjoy everything about Trulucks, except for the loud music from the bar. Ask for a table away from that area.
The stars say it all. Great food and service as well as the the atmosphere. Pricey but well worth it. One wish was that I would have loved more local fish on the menu.
Food and service were superb! We wanted to find a quiet corner to talk but music was too loud to sit anywhere inside. We were seated at a table outside where it was better but would have preferred an inside table if it could have been quieter.
Had a wonderful anniversary dinner experience. Service and food were excellent. Also provided us with a complimentary dessert.
We dined at TruLuck's for my fiance's 30th birthday on Saturday night. The service was outstanding. We started by sharing a Sonoma greens salad and a bowl of lobster bisque, both were excellent. My fiance ordered the NY strip, medium. The steak was a little more done than he would have liked, but it was tender and well-seasoned. I had the Blackened Grouper Pontchartrain which was probably the best fish I've had to date. We shared a slice of key lime pie (portion size is gigantic!) Overall, a well worth it experience. Wish there was a TruLuck's near us in Raleigh, NC!
This is absolutely the BEST seafood restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale. The stone crabs are awesome, raw oysters, crab fried rice. Alissa was our server and she was impeccable. The food was perfectly and amazingly chilled. Love coming here.
This was our second visit on TG holiday. First time was May 2012. Service was amazing on a holiday - the staff worked so hard THANK YOU! Food was outstanding and very well spaced. We showed up an hour early and were quickly seated without any issues. The GM stopped by our table and the next day we received a call asking about our experience. Trulucks rocks. You get what you pay for and we Kerouac returning for the obvious reason: they do everything right. What's not to love?
Truluck's was our most enjoyable recent dining experience. The restaurant is spacious with high ceilings and lovely décor. The atmosphere is quietly efficient and conducive to conversation. A live combo played in the adjacent bar, the mellow rock was sensational, and the volume appropriate. We enjoyed the superb stone crabs that are a restaurant specialty, but there are several fish and beef and alternatives. The staff again friendly, helpful, and quietly efficient without hovering. The key lime pie was sensational! Our take-away is that Truluck's provides an extremely pleasant venue, superb menu and cuisine, and gracious service. I hope reservations are still available on Open Table once the the "snow birds" land!

Space the final frontier. We all know about rockets going into space but do you know what life is like in space for the astronauts. I am sure you don't. Do you know what they're living quarters are like? Do you what their work quarters are like? Lastly do you know how they sleep? I bet not. Well you're in luck I am going to tell you all about these things. Living in space is much different than on earth. Well for one there is no gravity so they have to be very careful. If you are not care full the whole ship could blow up. Then for all the stuff they bring up they have to strap it down. The reason is they don't want it floating around and messing up all the systems in their ship. Their living space is only one small area in the ship. Then their living space is used for sleeping working and eating. That's a lot of stuff for such a small space. As I said before their living space is their work space. The astronauts have mini versions of everything that want to do for work. If someone wanted to work out they would they would get the machine and have it strapped to the ground and work out. If you liked science you could bring up a science kit. Also they work with medicine because only some medicine can be made in zero gravity. Sleeping in space nothing like what we do on earth. Well they do go to bed when we do but that's really all is in common. They have these giant straps that they attach to when the sleep. All of these straps are attached to the wall so they stay done when they are sleeping. Again this is something they do because of no gravity so they dot float into something mess up the ship. As you can see space has its differences from life on earth. Life in space is a much harder than life on earth. You have to strap everything down on a space ship and on earth you can just leave everything be. Space is the final frontier.
