Heh, back in 2010 I had a dream about a long-bearded old man with a white robe and he told me that I would win half a billion dollars in Powerball. And I live in Cali.
That was me. I was just messin' with ya.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship." -Tytler
I don't think your beard is 3 feet long.
Don't bet on it, lol.
If it rolls on wednesday night I think it will be around $200 million so I don't think it will climb that fast because I think that their is still people who quit playing when they raised the price. But if it can get to $300 million in this run we will see more players come out and try their $2. Me I like to get the most for my money so I play $3. Good luck!-weshar75
You were right on the money weshar75! It rolled right to $200 million. Now can I get your predictions for Saturday's drawing?
Nobody here wins again??????
Hey, I have my $2 in for the next 4 drawings.......
Anyone buying the new add that odds are better and more millionaires.......anyone??...
Pure luck
You betcha' hook......line....... & sinker!!! YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring me to my millionaire home Powerball.....with your improved odd's & jackpot!!!!!
February "06" was the largest Powerball jackpot to date, won by eight Nebraska meat workers. ($365 million). With the new structure and added ticket cost, doe's anyone think that this record will fall? How soon? It's already at $170 million now!
When (if ever) or at what jackpot level will you reluctant players start forking over $2 to play?
It's been almost 6 years and we haven't seen that level again, but with lower interest rates it doesn't have to go that high to reach the same cash value. Figuring the cash value back then was around $190 million, an advertised jackpot would offer a bigger cash jackpot at about $305 million today. Two more rolls will certainly come close, and 3 would definitely do the trick. 3 rolls would have apretty good chance of passing the advertised value of 365. As a really rough aproximation, figure there's better than a 60% chance we'll see two rolls, and about a 1 in 3 chance of 3 rolls.
Sure. Some of the people who are still buying tickets.
Hey pretty good math Floyd. Time will tell.
Will the powerball make above the 365 in 3 more rolls ??? Looking at the increases they are doing over the last 3 rolls I am not convinced. I dont believe it would be at 365 in 3 more rolls ( based on the 170 mil - 200 mil increase last time )..it will be interesting to see how much of an increase on 200 milllion if theres a rollover this time...............Besides, I bought the winning ticket already.
Jackpots...Just Average Citizens Keeping Possibilities Open Towards Security
You have to add in all the cheapskates coming out of the woodwork and wiping the cobwebs off their wallets and investing their dollar... whoops!... I mean TWO dollars now that it's over 200 million. They're salivating at the thought of having that money in the bank and never touching it (or the interest) for the rest of their lives.
It's hard to tell. Maybe, maybe not. For some reason, there may be a winner this Sat. Not saying it's me (lol) but it's about that time.

Summer break is a time when college students intern, work and enjoy the warm weather. This summer, however, try building your resume with volunteer work! Many employers want applicants who have volunteer experience. Volunteering shows selflessness and dedication – two characteristics most employers look for in potential employees.
One organization is called The Hands On Network. This organization will match you with volunteer opportunities based on the location you want to volunteer in and the type of experience you want. Another option is Volunteer Match, a site that finds an array of volunteer work in your area and that complement your major or interests. Lastly, there's Idealist, which asks you for information such as the type of volunteer work, time commitment, the duration you want to volunteer and your location to find volunteer opportunities.
There are many more sites, services and organizations (including Scholarships.com) that can link you with volunteer opportunities so starting your search is easy! Volunteering can be a small commitment with an immense effect on the ones you're helping. Plus, a prospective employer will be delighted to see an applicant who dedicates their time to helping others in need.

Large classes or small? As colleges look to save money per student, this has become a key discussion topic. Recent studies are now showing that redesigning the typical lecture-type lesson has proved successful in large class settings, boasting higher exam results than those on the old model...but I think it really depends on the institution.
I can only speak from experience about Wofford College: The largest class I've ever had had about 50 people in it (and the average class size here is 15), though I will soon find out how large classes work when I take a summer course at UNCG to fulfill a gen ed requirement in statistics. I can guarantee that in terms of building professor connections and having instructors as resources outside the classroom, small classes have the advantage but I could definitely see how this setting could be intimidating and that there could be students that flourish more in large-scale lectures.
Attendance policies also seem to be stricter at smaller schools and in smaller classrooms. In a class of 300, nobody bats an eye if somebody's missing; in a class of 12, however, every absence is noticed. Those who are engaged and active in class will probably benefit more from smaller courses, with more direct contact with the professors. But these assumptions seem to be changing. Like I said, the lecture-style of teaching is being altered at bigger schools and being replaced by interactive and virtual courses supervised by professors or teachers. The computers seem to keep the larger classes focused and have directly contributed to better grades in the sciences and visual arts.
When determining what class size is best for you, the best thing to do is to talk to people that attend your prospective schools. How do they like the large classes? Would they recommend them? Do they take any small classes? Are their learning styles similar to yours? Results don't lie but you know yourself better than a statistic. For me, the small classes at WoCo are where it's at. What about you?

You may be thinking that the day you head off to college, you will be freed from listening to your parents' opinions. Slow that ship before it hits the bridge: While it's true you will become more independent at college, your parents (and their ideologies) still exist.
For example, deciding the major you want to pursue is exciting but just as you have picked it, your parents intercept your joyous mood by interrogating your reasons and drowning you with their viewpoints. Don't get discouraged because this opportunity will help you to become an excellent listener and communicator. Here are a few tips from USA Today to help you become an excellent communicator with your parents:
Becoming a good communicator - especially with your parents - is vital. Many of your parents are financially supporting your college careers and that makes their opinions the most important to acknowledge.

Freshman year of college is right around the corner and I'm sure many of you are happy to be leaving those high school days behind you...but don't leave behind EVERYTHING you've learned in high school! As a college student, I learned the hard way which characteristics to keep and kick but you don't have to: USA Today recently shared some but I've included a few of my own tips as well.

Summer reading is something we just cannot get away from...even after high school: Most colleges and universities require incoming freshman to complete summer reading and test new students on this material during freshman orientation or in English classes. Here are a few tips to make completing your summer reading a breeze:
Summer reading is only a drag if you wait until the last minute – the sooner you get it done, the sooner you will be able to enjoy your summer without it nagging the back of your mind!
June 3, 2013
Congratulations! Well...sort of. Many incoming college freshmen feel this bittersweet sensation when they read they've been accepted to college but not until a semester or two after their intended start date.
Colleges are adopting this practice more and more and it's no surprise why: Retention rates drop after the first year and this decrease combine with the junior year "I want to study abroad" rush leaves colleges with gaps and vacancies in classes, resulting in less money for schools. This admissions approach is economically better for colleges and universities but is it better for students? Not when they want to take classes somewhere else before that requires full-time student status and not when the students need to get jobs in the semester before they start. This could also potentially disconnect them with the incoming freshman class in the fall and put them in awkward social positions once they arrive.
I personally don't know anyone that this has happened to – the most I've encountered with friends is wait lists – but I know a few that applied to transfer to other colleges and weren't accepted for the following semester, but the next one. It's great news that the student gained admission but there's the question of "Why then and not now?" In an almost B-list manor, colleges are glad to have you but not now – only after the first wave of freshmen.
I know the bottom line is money but in my opinion, this approach devalues all of one's efforts and projects a message of self-doubt and questioning. If colleges plan to keep doing this, they need to figure a way to build the students up during that semester before entry and provide program options and support so that these kids don't feel that sense of bittersweet victory and defeat. Deals with other colleges for transfer credits, extracurricular activities, ways for these students to get ahead and job options on or off campus would be an awesome start. What else do you think schools could (and should) do to bridge this gap?
June 12, 2013
Are you thinking of transferring because your freshman year didn't go as planned? The grass isn't always greener on the other side: As a transfer student, I urge you to think long and hard about leaving your current school. I hope these tips from USA Today College and my personal experience will help you realize that your university may be exactly where you belong.
Hang in there and remember that the grass can be greener where you water it!

With summer break in full swing for most high school graduates, navigating the long, challenging road that is obtaining a college degree won't begin until late August. And while your calendar is already chock-full with summer fun, consider this: The country is facing a shortage of on-campus student housing at public and private schools. So perhaps between attending that beach party, block party and annual beach block party, it's essential that you figure out where you're going to live this fall.
According to the National Multi Housing Council, areas with the highest campus housing shortages include Arizona, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota and West Virginia. But despite the shortage, some universities are still housing a majority of their students on campus. Check out the top 10 national universities with the highest percentage of undergraduates living in campus housing (as of Fall 2011):

This is not a picture but teardrops on canvass.
Awesome photo. Agree with Saibal.
Gary has 3 excellent entries in the competition and I hope one of them wins. This shot is just too sad, I can hardly bear to look at it. The harsh reality of so many people in this world is awful but when it affects little children it is just too cruel.
The tears of these children may not be counted inside the hump of junk yard in Kathmandu but this picture really speak the pain in their heart.
Rajan (Kathmandu) -
what a crazy world that these little children have to suffer ... my heart is crying.
0h god..u are the winner..!

Amazing, bravo:)))
Speechless....message to the world....
i took a deep breath..............and cries
crying on this.
No words, only tears for these children
and big compliments for you -
A fantastic photo - overwhelmingly painful but compelling at the same time. What I wouldn't give to be able to help these two boys - they remind me of my two little ones! Surely someone somewhere will be able to help them?? Gary - I know there's privacy etc. involved but if there was any way I could, through a charity perhaps, sponsor these two boys I would do it like a shot!!!! I would love to know if there are any charities in the vicinity of these two boys who I could go through to help. Helen. London.
Cries of their souls!...
Like Helen, I also want to help. Please can you provide the exact location? My personal e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com. I have already donated to an orphanage in Kathmandu; however I am compelled to more than just hand over money. I don't know what your intentions were when taking this picture, but be they good or bad, I am now motivated to affect a positive change in this region.
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful, thought-provoking pictures that I have seen in a very long time. Amzing. Wonderful work.

i love it, i have seen a similar place.. but its very good.. u hv done a nice job
Everything they all said...a very well deserved win...Congratulations!
great photo!
Gary, you are obviously a fine and very accomplished photographer, yet is there no end to what you would photograph? Despite the incredible conditions of lighting and composition...do you not exercise some degree of ethics or even compassion when deciding on what to photograph? All and everyone is 'NOT' meant to be photographed (exploited) because a camera is in hand or for the critical praise of other photographers. I think with the power and creativity you posses, if you were to offer a link, or organisation to which individuals could support and offer help, to end suffering such as this...your image would take on an entirely different context. I hope this is something you contemplate prior to pressing the shutter again?
And to all of those who sit comfortably. are warm and well fed..I feel hurt and saddened!
These are the lives of 2 innocent souls... Have we become so heartless...that our only focus is what is on the end of our lens? Our the conditions and circumstances of the subjects even relevant? Do we not bare a responsibility? Shouldn't we be held accountable and to a higher standard? It is we who carry the torch of insight for many; ...we are the messengers.
And there were only a few post that offered some degree of assistance. For the viewers that were so 'deeply' moved and saddened...in between the 'bows' for Gary, take just a second and ask for a link or a means to which you can help! I think that would mean so much more than all cyber tears.
Gary, upon reading this, please do send me a link-if you have one-to an organisation that would help children such as this. And much continued success!
I thank you kindly.
Nice click,....
Amazing photo.
very exciting
wow this picture is heartbreaking. So sad. :( :(
am so amazed looking at this photo at the same time my heart breaks for these innocent souls...may God bless them.
this is so sad but good to show... but it is not a photo- seems in canvas and painting.
I used this picture on an assignment for college (crediting the owner obviously) where I had to critique it and try to work out the exposure etc. It was one of my favourite images! It is so touching.
This image needs no words. It tells the story immediately. As a Mother to 2 boys, my heart imploded when I saw this.
Very strong photo, unreal!

Akiyuki Shinbou's latest project, Arakawa Under The Bridge, has nearly drawn to a close, with its thirteenth and final episode airing next week. The show has so far, in true Shinbou style, played its thematic ideas close to the chest, slowly building up characters and grand ideas via his trademark comedic pacing and eccentric visual delivery. In episode 12, we see the most explicit development and acknowledgement of these themes since the revelation of Hoshi's past in episode 09 - there we got a brief glance at the reasoning of those who came to the bridge entirely willingly; here we see what keeps the Ichinomiyas away from it.
The immediate conclusions people I've heard from generally draw from any of the bridge's inhabitants are, first, that they are in some way mentally damaged or inhibited, and second, that their choice to live under the bridge is motivated by an unwillingness to grow up and participate in the common understanding of the "real world". The chief abjectly refuses to acknowledge that his kappa appearance is a costume; Tooru gave up a successful office career to walk a line-painter around under a bridge. These are, at first glance, people who failed to live up to the stresses of the modern world and therefore relegated themselves to being the dregs of society.
Ichinomiya Kou, on the other hand, exemplifies a wide range of accepted societal markers of success - a self-made, wildly successful businessman, classically handsome and fully versed in the motions of polite society, a model capitalist. The Ichinomiya family motto, and particularly its execution, could have been taken straight from the pages of Rand. But, as Arakawa has regularly hinted and as it said outright in episode 12, all of these traits obfuscate a wide range of his own insecurities and psychological inhibitions.
In the first scene of episode 12, Nino comes to Kou's aid, saying "It's fine, everyone is afraid of ghosts, bugs, bell peppers and their fathers". Hoshi, and likely a good part of the audience, responds with a disbelieving "how young do you have to be to be scared of those things?". Kou being rushed by his father into an adulthood in which emotion and compassion are weaknesses and any human interaction deeper than simple exchange of goods is unforgiveably wasteful left him with a full 22 years for those simple, childish-to-most fears to become deeply ingrained in his psychology. Kou's childlike preferences at that level seem as strange to the rest of the bridge's denizens as someone wearing a star mask or claiming to have come from Venus.
And his father Seki's humanizing monologue near the end of the episode, where he implies that his own embracing of the Ichinomiya motto is as a result of his inability to cope emotionally with his own experiences with love. Kou, much earlier on, displayed many of these same insecurities - his inability to accept any measure of altruistic kindness from Nino, and later his need to rationalize her favors to him as simply a less obvious kind of capitalistic exchange. Both Seki and Kou hide from the possibility of emotional interaction by single-mindedly pursuing profit.
In his time under the bridge these insecurities have been worn down a great deal; Seki's meeting with Nino, which so closely parallels Kou's own first arrival at the bridge, gives us a point of reference to just how much Kou has changed in the past twelve episodes. Kou's own story of maturing and overcoming his past insecurities is embodied in his attempt to altruistically put his own set of acquired skills to work in protecting the community he's become a part of, just as Nino, Hoshi, P-Ko and the others have.
What Arakawa asks here is this: is it really a mental or psychological failing to reject a set of accepted social ideals relevant to pure accumulation of capital profit, and instead strive for a set of accepted social ideals relevant to building a community? The structures occurring in the community under the bridge are very in line with those at work in any small communal living scenario - how much is the choice between these ways of thinking a dichotomy, and to what extent are they mutually exclusive or zero-sum - which is the "real world"? With Seki on one end and the bridge denizens on the other end of a loosely capitalist-communist dichotomy, Kou's struggle is to find an ideal point between the two.

Pipos Doll Animation (by DollPaCa)
That was sadder than the opening bit in Pixar's UP.
Everything about this was perfect. The animation could not be any better; the lack of actual words yet it still portrays rich emotion. In the beginning, it shows how a family can continue on. But as it goes, it shows that tragedy can still happen. Life is life.
There are tears rolling down my face, and the only thing I would criticize is that felt no closure in the end. When the screen went black it felt like my heart stopped because I didn't want it to end.

Product Reviews
Craftsman / Mission 1 Light Outdoor Wall Sconce from the Homestead Collection
High quality product
We have been remodeling the exterior of our ranch home. It is a fairly large house with stone, beige siding and white trim, with window interest. We were looking for a quality fixture that dressed it up but didn't look pretentious and didn't break the bank. After extensive online research, we chose the Murray Feiss fixtures, and we are delighted. The smallest fixtures were just right for the back porch and deck, and we ordered larger fixtures for either side of the front door and either side of the garage. As it turned out the larger fixtures were too big next to our garage, so we sent them back and got the smaller size which is absolutely perfect. These fixtures look wonderful with our house and would work with almost any decor. Lighting Direct was fast and very helpful about the return.

Completed my set!
We were so very happy with our first purchase of the large Homestead Series sconces for our garage. We were delighted to find that the matching porch ceiling light was still available (2 yrs later!), so we ordered it Seeing the gorgeous oil rubbed bronze fixture arrive promptly, I immediately ordered the smaller OL1000 sconce for our back patio to complete our set. Our neighbors were SO jealous! One confessed she'd been trying all the local hardware stores and couldn't find any like ours. I finally told them what a great experience we've had ordering from Lighting Direct. Several friends have told me that our experience helped them overcome their fear of ordering on line, and now they shop there too! Thanks L D for having such a great online site, and thanks Murray Feiss for making such a beautiful product.

Elaine Cook and her boyfriend of 10 months went out last week for Valentine's Day, returned to her apartment and got in a fight.
She asked him to leave, but he wanted to end the argument. So he leaned in for a kiss.
And that's when she bit his tongue off, prosecutors said.
Now the 51-year-old Cook, of the 9400 block of Lockwood in Skokie, is charged with aggravated domestic battery and was held Sunday in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Assistant State's Attorney Eve Reilly said the couple went back to Cook's apartment after going out Friday and began to quarrel. Reilly said Cook's boyfriend went to put his shoes on after Cook asked him to leave.
Then the boyfriend said they should stop fighting, Reilly said. He went to kiss her, Reilly said, but Cook "bit off a large portion of his tongue."
Cook's boyfriend ran to a sink in the kitchen, Reilly said, and Cook followed and threw the tongue on a counter. The boyfriend put it in a bag of ice, Reilly said, and he and Cook's roommate called 911.
An ambulance took the boyfriend to Evanston Hospital, Reilly said, but doctors could not reattach the tongue because of an inadequate blood supply.

DANVILLE — Vermont State Police say they have received reports of a suspicious couple visiting residences in the Danville and Walden areas, but the couple could be simply conducting a survey.
State police say they received a complaint Saturday about a black man, approximately 6 feet 3 inches tall, 200 pounds, 30 to 50 years old, and a white woman with dark brown hair who arrived at a residence, asked questions and left in a silver-colored vehicle with out-of-state plates.
Another complaint Sunday described the same couple leaving pamphlets about the New England Homecare Union and United Healthcare Workers East-Vermont.
State police say several out-of-state companies have been conducting surveys in Vermont recently and it's believed that is what the couple was doing. State police are still trying to identify the couple, however, and verify their business.
State police advise residents to ask for identification from any strangers who arrive at their homes.MORE IN This Just InMEMPHIS, Tenn.

I love this place! Not only is the environment professional, clean, and convenient but the quality of the bud is outstanding. I had my doubts about outdoor grow, not whether or not it would be good, but whether it or not it would surpass the bud I have tried that has all been hydro. I can tell you without a doubt that the difference is phenomenal and I don't think I could smoke anything but MF's product.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they really know their facts about their product. They present an organized and intelligent pitch - their staff is very well trained. They asked a lot of questions about my particular needs and I walked out with what turned out to be a great match for me.
The product is well trimmed and fragrant. Buds are dense. I really cannot think of any reason why someone would not want to try Maggie's Farm. Quality is consistent and prices are really great.
Go check it out for yourself - I doubt you will be disappointed.
This place is very good!!
Beautiful space for a venue, floor to ceiling glass that looks out over Cheyenne Mountain and the city lights. Wooden floors and great sound combined for a nice ambiance and did I mention that the folks who attended were absolutely spectacular. Diversity reigned and whether the poet was young, old, novice or expert, each was lovingly held, encouraged and supported in a way that was so amazing and felt so good, that I wanted channel this to our leaders as a model of co-existing and thriving!
These guys got it right. Try the Ghost OG Kush, Blue Widow or Neon Super Skunk. Bud master Erin's crossing the Ghost and NeonB
We have been regular patrons of Meadow Muffins for almost 3 years now and it stands out as the most enjoyable, high class, fun, entertaining and SAFE bar in old colorado city. The menu has changed and its a great place to eat, meet friends, enjoy reasonably priced drinks. I like that there are several bouncers around to keep the trouble makers out, unlike the competiting bar across the street that allows the usual fights inside and outside their business with no concern for the innocent regular customers. Meadow Muffins will always be our favorite place and our old friends and new one's to come in the years to come. The owner's are very welcoming and encourage any concerns you may have, which there are none. Lets help spread the word and everyone meet for the nightly entertainment...
this place is the 5 star 5 diamond of MMC shops, My husband and I both switched to this center over a year ago, just before their flood of awards, and they have been impeccable every time. Even on one occasion when we thought the meds were weak, Sean replaced them on the spot no questions asked. Everyone who I see in this busy little shop is on a first name basis and no matter how busy they get I am always made to feel acknowledged and appreciated, and my husband and I thank you dearly for that.
Discovered this place 60 days ago, have eaten here 19 times since then! The best authentic dishes, along with some familiar favorites, quality is outsatnding! People are the happiest ,most warm I have ever met, very genuine. A must go to place, say hi to Leah, she always has a smile. I rate this a 10!
Mr. Al
Excellent pub-style food and drinks, very friendly, informed and helpful staff, clean and very welcoming.
I love this place!!!! I hope they get to reopen after the whole shutdown at the end of this month. They're always friendly and very helpful (: I love going here after work and finding out they still have many medicines left. I <3 Green Love Wellness!

The best BBQ in the springs! Great food, great prices, and a drive thru. If you haven't tried it yet you need to go.
New staff and new management have made some great improvements! I tried this restuarant again recently... and it was okay in the past.... but it is great now! The daily and weekly specials are great and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Thanks, Oakleys!
It's beautiful on the inside the staff was very friendly and one of the owners even brought my food out to me. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was outstanding. I always thought that it was best to start with the sauce and the meatballs to help me determine how good the Italian food is as this is a standard practice from my east coast background. I was very impressed and will be returning frequently as I look forward to eating more of the menu. BTW my friend had the lasagna and he insisted I taste it and we concur that this was easily the best lasagna in town.
Thank you for opening your restaurant. I brought my sister in to Ficco's for lunch. She catered for many years and makes a mean lasagna herself. I make a great lasagna myself and I am super picky. I was so blown over by their lasagna recipe. It was mouth-watering delicious. My sister was so impressed that she ordered a to-go lasagna for her husband. They live in Denver and are food snobs. The interior was surprisingly beautiful and impressive and the service was phenomenal. I could not believe the portions and the prices. The food tasted so fresh. I could not resist their cannoli and had a couple more pieces to go. Again, thanks!
This place is awesome – the interior is beautiful, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the most important thing … the food is phenomenal AND you get a huge portion for the price. The bread baked in house melts in your mouth. The caprese offers huge beefsteak tomatoes and large pieces of fresh, soft mozzarella. The dishes are the bomb and it is because the passed down recipe for the sauce is outstanding!
From Brooklyn, have been searching for great NY Style pizza and this is it! The crust, the sauce, the high quality of the toppings...all of it is great. I can't wait to go back!
Always the best best. great food great prices cheese bread is to die for.
Check the dates on the other reviews, 2+ years old. There is new management and this now the best Chinese restaurant in town - bar none (I've tried them all)! Chinese, Sushi and even Mongolian Bar-B-Q. They are just completing a complete remodel and the place is bright shiny and all new! A MUST for anyone who loves Chinese in all its flavors.
This is a great little bar! They serve up craft beers from breweries from all over in a friendly laid back atmosphere. Stop by and you will not regret it.

We were in for dinner tonight, which we visit about once a month. I always order the King size Prime Rib. Tonight I have to tell you, I am not sure we will be back! I made the mistake of answering yes when the waitress ask if I cared to have it seered on the grill! The cook BUTTERFLIED MY 21.00 PIECE OF PRIME AND COOKED IT LIKE A STEAK! Why would someone EVER do that WITHOUT ASKING THE GUEST IF THAT'S OKAY! seriously, it took all the juice out of the meat, the bottom piece of butterfield meat was about an 1/8 of inch thick, and if I wanted a steak I would've ordered a t-bone! they were gracious enough to take the dinner off our bill, but it kinda ruined the dinner of which I have maybe one to two nights a month that I that I am not too busy to go out to eat! We use to visit the Outback on Ina, but it has seriously went down hill also! Not sure where we will go now? The poor server was shocked when I handed her the 20.00 tip, and said she could accept it, but I quickly told her it was NOT her fault, IT WAS THE COOK!
Alas, closed, but it was a great place for good food at good prices. There's a Greek fast food restaurant in the space now.
NASTY NASTY NASTY, This is no way close to a Chicago sandwhich, Pastrami should never be warmed up on a grill, and served burnt and dry. and for $8.00 and change, I should get at least a drink and fries. but was very disappointed on taste & price. & will never ever go there again. Who ever says this taste like a Chicago style sandwich is not from Chicago and has no clue..

Would love to know what you reading right now? What's on you bedside table?
I'm just finishing off "The Ninja" by Eric Van Lustbader, I got GaiJin (James Clavell) waiting but I'm thinking of getting the next book in the "Ninja" series unless they don't follow on from each other?
What you reading right now?
Currently reading one of Iain`s books " Karates grappling Methods", with a couple more in the pipeline, hoping to incorporate some of methods and techniques into our clubs training sylabus. Books in the pipeline as follows, Practical Application of Karate, Throws for Stikers, Arm locks for all styles and Bunkai jutsu so you could say a bit of a fan.
- Fiction: Darth Plagueis
- Martial Arts: I'm re-reading Tao of Jeet Kune Do
- Occupation: Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing
Yes, all a bit of all three each night. I a four foot high pile of books waiting to be read and an Amazon wsihlist of over 200, almost all Martial Arts. It's my birthday soon...
I have a few downloaded to the Kindle.
As a newby here I have taken advantage of An Introduction to Applied Karate by Iain Abernethy.
I have a couple of Primal Blueprint books. One on fitness and the other on health, weight loss and energy.
I've just finished reading The Guv'nor. Lennie McLean's autobiography.
Tau, Tao of JKD is one of those books that is easy to pick up, read a short section and put down again. A book that should be on all Martial Artist's shelves.
simon s wrote:Tau, Tao of JKD is one of those books that is easy to pick up, read a short section and put down again. A book that should be on all Martial Artist's shelves.
Oh yes. I've had it for years. I didn't "get it" the first time, but that was probably 15 years ago, hence the re-read. Although Darth Plagueis has me gripped at the moment.
I'm reading "how to win a fight" by Lawrence Kane & Kris Wilder, have read their "Way of Kata" also which is an excellent book. Next on my list is "Little Black Book of Violence" again by the above authors.
Just finished "Secrets of Korean Karate" by Henry Cho, and started reading "Black Belt Karate" by Son Duk Sung. I am also reading "The study in scarlet" (the first Sherlock Holmes novel).
Currently reading Streetwise by Peter Consterdine as recommended by Iain in a pod cast "books for the pragmatic karateka, a brilliant book for anyone interested personal security/self defence!! Recently finished reading Iain's Karate's Grappling Methods another great book which includes throws, takedowns and ground fighting.
I'm currently reading "The Viking Art of War" which was given to me as a gift when I taught in Norway late last year. A really interesting read!

Andy, 'How To Win A Fight' is a much-abridged version of 'The Little Black Book Of Violence'. They aren't different books. I didn't know that when I pre-ordered HTWAF. It's still a good book, but it came as a disappointment since I'd ordered it on the strength of TLBBOV.
I'd love to say something martial arty but no, I'm just finishing and really enjoying "John Dies at the End".
Just finished reading Game of Thrones: Book of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin, great yarn and looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Now reading the Legends of King Arthur. I do like all that medieval knights in armour / dragon slaying / damsels in dsitress stuff, call me old fashioned if you will.
The Viking Art of War sounds interesting, any further details available to assist in sourcing a copy! The last MA book I read was Kane & Wilder: The Way of Kata (if i remember the title correctly as dont have book to hand at the moment).
Also got to say Eric Lustbader's books are tremendous especially for those with an interest in MA and / or far eastern culture. Point to note re Mr Lustbader, he was bequeathed the rights to continue writing the Jason Bourne series by Robert Ludlum.

five years one kata - bill burgar
Just finished reading it, thought it was really good.
Bought a copy for my brother as a present and then when it arrived and I had a brief flick through, ended up going back onto Amazon and buying another copy as a Xmas present to me, love me xx.

Manhattan rents dip for the fifth month in a row: Report
Manhattan rents may have decreased over the last five months, but the honeymoon for apartment seekers probably won't last forever.
A report released Wednesday by real estate group Citi Habitats found that the average rent for an apartment in the borough fell by $23 from December to last month to $3,211.
Gary Malin, Citi Habitats' president, said although the decrease has been good for home hunters, rents are still historically high for this time of the year.
"You won't see a huge drop in rents. You'll see incremental drops in rent. There's not a lot of production coming in the rental front," he said.
Malin credited the seasonal real estate trend as a major factor in the rent dip and also noted Manhattan's 1.37% vacancy rate was a factor as well. The rate was unchanged from December but it was 7% higher than the same time last year.
Some of the neighborhoods that had the lowest vacancy rates include SoHo, which had a 0.76% rate and Gramercy which had a 1.04% rate, according to the report.
Malin said there aren't too many new apartments popping up in Manhattan and even though the economy is getting better, home hunters are being careful with their cash.
"Some people may not be able to afford an apartment yet so they're waiting," Malin said.
Despite the urge to wait, Malin warned that low inventory will make it difficult in the spring when rents are expected to increase, said Malin. He did note that there are some key places to get a good deal, including the Upper East Side close to the East River.
He added that renters also shouldn't side away from checking out homes in the outer boroughs.
"People are starting to realize, outside of Manhattan there are better deals as well," Malin said.

PCM boys outlast Colfax
The PCM Mustangs (15-1, 12-1) outlasted Colfax Mingo (3-12) 60-46 on Tuesday Night. PCM was in control the entire way home. There were a few scary moments as the Tigerhawks threatened to make things interesting with rallies at the end of each half to pull things within single digits.
The Mustangs proved too deep for Colfax to keep pace, however. Leaning mostly on their guards to generate offense, the Mustang boys did not disappoint as seniors Ethan Kain and Nathan Vande Wall provided a boost with 19 and 14 points respectively with most of those points coming off turnover layups and open outside jumpers.
The story of the game for PCM was active hands. A possession rarely went by in either half that didn't involve the Mustangs poking the ball loose. This led to turnovers, allowing the two guards to run out on the break. Easy buckets led to a big night for the Mustangs backcourt and ultimately an easy victory.
Mustang coach Fred Lorensen was pleased with the defensive effort he got out of his team.
"We try to get a lot of touches whether we're playing man to man or our zone defense that we play every once in a while." Lorensen said. "We've got some pretty quick kids, good jumpers, kind of long and that's definitely something we stress."
The Mustangs started out in a flurry. Senior Alex DeWitte powered home a layup through contact and sunk the free throw on the first possession. Active hands forced turnovers and easy buckets had PCM up 11-3 after one quarter.
Colfax charged back with two rallies in the second. When things looked bleak, they scored eight straight to pull within 23-14. Then following another strong finish from DeWitte, Colfax caught fire from deep, but a tip-in bucket at the buzzer by junior Dillon Bruxvoort gave PCM a 30-20 lead at half.
The second half started off exactly like the first. The boys forced turnovers and finished easy looks at the rim. A strong charge in the fourth quarter led by Colfax senior Vaughn Wilson made it a single digit game with five minutes left. It was too great a hill to climb for the Tigerhawks as things slipped out of their grasp and PCM rode home for the win.
Although Colfax's record might make some people anticipate a blowout game from start to finish, this was the second time this year that Colfax has made a late charge to scare PCM enough to at least leave the starters on the floor for a few extra minutes at the end of the game.
"Well, they gave us trouble the first time. We had them down big at the half the first time, and it ended up a four or five point game." Lorensen said. "They certainly got back in it. They've got a good combination of Wilson on the inside and some kids that can shoot from the perimeter to stretch you a little bit and make it tough defensively.

"Two Happy Feet," Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 270
I have two happy little feet
To take me where I go.
They hop me and they skip me,
And make a noise, I know.
But in my Heav'nly Father's house
So softly do they fall
That, though I walk, you cannot hear
My little feet at all.
Improvise actions as suggested by the words.

Medical App Makers Await Regulator CheckupsThe Recorder 2013-03-18 16:41:05.0 In a series of congressional hearings next week, lawmakers will hash out the regulatory framework for the so-called mobile medical app industry, which according to one estimate could reach $26 billion within the next five years. There are thousands of health care apps for smartphones think calorie counters and heart rate monitors, just for starters and lawyers say the vast majority aren't expected to fall under the purview of the Food and Drug Administration. But app developers, and the lawyers advising them, have been waiting since 2011 for formal guidelines on what types of apps will require FDA approval, and of what sort. Charles Yim is one such developer. Yim founded San Francisco-based Breathometer in September 2012 with the idea for a device to test blood alcohol level that plugs into the headphone jack of a smartphone and delivers a reading through an app. He is currently preparing a submission for FDA clearance. In 2011 the FDA came out with draft guidance for regulation of mobile medical applications, with formal guidance expected sometime this year. The draft carves out a majority of health-related apps, stating the FDA will only regulate those used as accessories to existing medical devices or those used for diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and diseases. For the first three months, Yim said he had no idea that his product would need regulatory approval. In fact it was not until he submitted the app to Apple Inc. last month, that he entered what he called the "legal morass" of obtaining clearance for a medical device. The Breathometer device needs to pass a process known as pre-market notification, or 510(k) clearance, a less stringent procedure that does not include clinical trials. The application needs to be submitted at least 90 days prior to marketing and essentially the applicant needs to show "substantial equivalence" to another legally marketed device. Once that is demonstrated, the new device can be sold. Yim said the company plans to submit its 510(k) application by the end of next week. The company is in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign on the website Indiegogo and intends to start shipping its devices in July, pending regulatory approval. Breathometer is working with attorneys at Nixon Peabody, including corporate partner Mavis Yee in Palo Alto and FDA compliance partner Areta Kupchyk in Washington, D.C. Kupchyk said she is getting an increasing number of inquiries from app developers, with calls coming in every other day. While the FDA will likely never provide guidance on every possible intended use for every app, "the line between wellness and specific health care claims is incredibly gray," she said. At this point having any formal guidance in place may be more important than the details, said Gerry Hinkley, a partner in the life science and compliance groups at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in San Francisco. App makers may be holding up product announcements or altering designs to avoid regulatory approval, Hinkley said. "The tech developer side wants to say [regulation] is totally off limits, but the people who buy the products consumers, hospitals, health care systems need a bright line." Breathometer is Yim's fifth startup, and the third one that he's founded. The others have "all been software companies, with no cogs and a smooth process," he said. Yim said that Apple's app screeners were initially confused by the Breathometer app. Once he explained that there will be a device that connects to the phone, Apple told him that it wanted FDA clearance before placing the Breathometer in the App Store. He said he realizes that the onus is on him, as the entrepreneur, to know which regulations he is dealing with, and doesn't quarrel with the need to protect consumers "I just wish we had more information and guidance. There should be a framework for companies like us to coast through the process as easily as possible." At next week's congressional hearings, some lawmakers will be looking for just that. The House Energy and Commerce Committee, and its subcommittees on technology, health and oversight, will hear from app developers, health care providers and regulators including the FDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. U.S. Representative Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., the vice chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, has publicly stated that she does not want the FDA regulating medical apps at all. However, while it is difficult to balance regulation with industry concerns, it is necessary, Hinkley said. "We're a slippery industry and as soon as they say they won't regulate apps, there will be diagnostic apps which should be regulated." This article originally appeared in The Recorder. |

Happy New Year! The holiday excitement is over and now we can move into the stillness of the winter season. ItŌĆÖs a perfect time to become more introspective, set new goals, and nourish your entire being according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is rooted in the philosophy that people should live in harmony with their environment ŌĆō so during winter, this means slowing down in the colder months, deeply nourishing yourself, and keeping warm and well rested in order to plant the seeds for renewed vitality in the new year. As nature slows down and hibernates during the winter, the process of new growth and regeneration for the spring has already begun internally. Continue reading

THE CHEETAH relies on a control computer to provide stability and on a flexible spine to regulate its gait.
More In This Article
In the decade since the start of combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the military has relied increasingly on robots. Drones and bomb-removal bots have been designed to keep troops out of harm's way. Now the U.S. Department of Defense is looking for sleeker, faster robots that can assist with a wider range of missions.
The Cheetah, pictured at the right, is one of the new breeds under development. Real cheetahs, which can sprint up to about 120 kilometers per hour, are the fastest-running animals; the robot, made by Boston Dynamics in Waltham, Mass., reaches nearly 30 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest-legged robot.
