C.I. Shenanigans
Online Reservations
My wife and I first went to C.I. Shenanigans while dating in high school, for prom. About 28 year later, when planning our 25th Anniversary get-away, C.I.'s was a natural choice. It was a beautiful day on the Tacoma Waterfront, and so we took the offer to sit on the deck. Our server was excellent, the view unequaled, and the food fantastic. We had reservations for an early dinner, 4pm, and so took advantage of C.I.'s twilight dinners. The razor clam chowder was the best we've had (and my wife's family is from the Grays Harbor area, so they know their chowder!), and the entrees (fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken and stuffed sole) were very, very good. The dessert shooters were also excellent. We'll definitely being going back!
I took my girlfriend out for dinner for our anniversary. It was a completely wonderful experience for the both of us. I really enjoyed our time together. The staff was so wonderful and very friendly. I really do think I will be coming back in the future.
From the hostess to the waiter service was great. We were wished a happy anniversary by both. On top of that the manager Deborah personally came to our table to wish us the same. Everyone was sincere and kind. CI shenanigans has amazing customer service!! Wiil definitely be back, along with some friends and family.
Waterfront view, beautiful decor, and great food. I would highly recommend for special occasions or just a nice dinner out.
Food was good....Service was excellent, very impressed.
Let me first start off with walking into C.I. Shenanigans being greeted with smiles, all the staff are pleased you are there and have chosen their restaurant for dining. We had an 11:30 am reservation and were seated right away. Today, we had Dane as our waiter, he made us feel very comfortable, gave us a rundown on the Italian theme for this week and took our drink orders. Dane did a fantastic job, the professionalism, the service, never had to ask for anything, water, coffee, tea filled, when he was at our table ensuring we were enjoying a great experience in dining. As always, we had a great Brunch, C.I. Senanigans, it is nice to have a great place to dine in Tacoma with a million dollar view.
We are young adults and cannot afford to eat out often. Not only was the 3 course meal delicious, but Early Bird dining was worth saving up for. It was very affordable and we were happy to be able to enjoy this fine dining restaurant.
Our server was friendly & cheerful. Lunch was very good. I really enjoyed the iceberg wedge salad with the crab melt. MY friend had the french onion soup & thought the cheese was overwhelming but enjoyed the turkey club sandwich. The atmosphere is very nice here and the view was spectatular.
Met a friend and we visited for hours, great food and and no hurry service. Thanks
Great juicy and pump raw oysters, all you can eat. Great selection of brunch items. Great sound view and friendly service. A great place for brunch with a reasonable price.
We went to C.I. Shenanigans on a Sunday to celebrate my wife's birthday. It is was the same day her father came into town for a visit. We made reservations for four at 12:30 and had a great booth with a view. There was plenty of food for brunch and the theme that day was Hawaiian. From the breakfast items, to lunch item and desserts, we all enjoyed the variety. The price is also affordable for a nice brunch. We will be back!
We have been coming here for over 20 years. Always top drawer!
I took my family here during their recent visit. We had asked for a window table and got one which we appreciated. The food was very good. This restaurant is located on the waterfront, and on a sunny evening it is one of my favorite places to take visitors. The service was excellent. Also, the Sunday brunch here is worth a visit. I highly recommend this restaurant!
We decided to give Shenanigans one more try for my husband's bday dinner but we had a different plan. We sat inside and ordered entree salads instead of our usual steak, etc. We got a GREAT table, service was commendable, we both had a seafood salad which had shrimp and crab in it. I did not care for the crab (I almost felt like it was krab)-it was mostly minced and did not taste much like crab at all. I had a bloody mary which I would recommend and we enjoyed a bottle of chardonnay-wasn't my favorite. All in all-we were happy this time with the bday dinner. And...thank you Shenanigans for basically BOGO since the bday boy got a free entree worth up to $20.
While setting up our table for six, the server managed to knock over a glass of water into the lap of one of our group. She was correctly horrified and our friend was "iced" for the evening. Our meal was good, portions small to medium, and our dessert offerings were tasty and expensive. This restaurant is a waterfront staple on the Tacoma waterfront and does a nice job of holding its own there. Not an exceptional night; but, a comfortable place/meal to share with friends.
We went for brunch for our anniversary. We were going "mmm" every time we took a bite. Everything was delicious, the view was great, and the service was fantastic. I've already told friends and family that they need to go!
The front desk staff and bartenders were super friendly! Our server got every thing to us in a timely manner and always made sure we had what we needed! I would have liked to have our server be more personable and engaging....I think an engaging server can make an experience more memorable! Ps thank you for the complimentary anniversery dessert! The food was better than average! The water view at sunset was so our reason for wanting to come back...as well as the happy hour menu!
The people were great and nice and was very was beautiful. The food was very good and pricing was reasonable. It was just awesome. We were outside and it was a nice scenery. The food was all good, even the kids menu had a good variety to choose from. Thanks for the awesome experience.
We were greeted and seated right away to my special request for a quiet corner table with a view (waterfront). Everybody enjoyed every moment of our dinner. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family when they visit Tacoma. Thank you.
We had a great time and a wonderful diner. Service was attentive, courteous and fun. The menu was fabulous and very tasty. The waiter staff was knowlegable, witty and very helpful. We really enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it to anyone.
We enjoyed the food but found the server a real negative to the experience. I spoke to the manager who quickly listen and assured us that he would speak to the server about our issues. The manager was a true professional and is the main reason why we will return.
We made a 4 hour round trip to C.I. Shenanigans just to enjoy the brunch and we will do it again. The food and service was very good.
Quiet enough to allow a group discussion and spectacular bay views. Service is excellent. Food is very good although portions are on the small side. No condiments are offered other than the pepper grinders presented by staff so you need to eat stuff the way the chef seasons it - no options there.
Food, view, hostess were outstanding. Waiter was very aloof and unfriendly.
Very Good Food, Mixed drinks a bit on the pricey side. If you are going to charge 11 dollars a drink ,they should at least be in more than the size of a juice glass
My family went for my birthday brunch and everyone had a wonderful time. The food was wonderful and we had an excellent view of the water and great service as well. I would highly recommend C.I. Shenanigans.
Good food, reasonable prices, great view of the waterfront. Mixed results on cocktails, martini was great, but it is doubtful that the old fashioned was correctly prepared, as it was missing some of the fruit, and did not appear to have been muddled.
I have an out-of-town friend for whom this is a must. Sunday brunch at C.I. Shenanigans has become a tradition with us whenever she is in town. Lavish brunch, great food, excellent service and a beautiful view ... a perfect special occasion place.
What a great place! I would recommend it to anyone.
We brought 4 people that have moved from out of state to Washington and they loved it here and will be back with us
the sunday brunch is delicious. they have a wide variety of food to choose from, and the service was fantastic. our waiter had a great sense of humor.
Fantastic view of the waterfront. Great choices on menu. The meals we ordered were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. For such a big and busy restaurant it was actually quite quiet. My partner & I did not have to yell @ each other to have a conversation. Nice spot for a special occasion/romantic dinner. When we enquired about desserts, our server, Sarah, brought actual samples to our table and described them. We were very pleased that there were small portions of regular desserts you could order. Tiramisu dessert was awesome. Sarah was an awesome server - Polite, friendly, professional, great knowledge of the menu, answered all our questions. We would certainly come here again - and not just for a special occasion.
The experience was overall, a good one. Brought a date for dinner that was new to the area. My date requires the use of a wheelchair. The floor layout was more than sufficient for her wheelchair. The ambiance was perfect. We did receive a window front booth on the water as requested. The booth was next to the bar but noise was overall low. The only low point of the night, was when a large group was seated behind us to watch a soccer game. The group was rather loud. Or server was on top of her game, she was quick to take our drink orders and give us our bread. She was friendly and continually refilling our drinks without being asked.
The food is amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful great views from every table. The service is top notch from the hostess to the food server. Best Ram beer anywhere (we have tried them all). They made our celebration great, our horseshoe shaped booth facing water and scenic views was perfection. We look forward to taking all our out-of-town guests here now and in the future!
My wife and I had a very enjoyable dining experience at C I Shenanigans on 9/23/13. The food was excellent, the service outstanding and the ambiance and view were very satisfying. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed the brunch. It was a Mexican food theme. The service was good and the food was excellent.
The Sunday brunch here is my all time favorite! So many choices, all delicious!! I could eat here everyday.
C I Shenanigans puts on a wonderful Sunday brunch with fresh made omelets and crepes, fresh oysters on the half shell and shooters, plenty of seafood, salads and hot entrees and of course a decadent dessert table. The food is always very good and service is great. A great way to get family and friends together on a Sunday, but make your reservations early if you want a specific time.
We enjoy their brunch 2-3 times a year and always bring others with us. Variety of food and quality is excellent. The service is fantastic!
I had been looking to eat here for quite some time. I took my 3 year old daughter as the rest if my family was busy doing their own things. I was impressed with their kid friendly menu and service. I had a bacon wrapped filet minion meatloaf. It was excellent. They offered several options for sides when I asked about alternate sides. The wait staff was very accommodating and prompt. Thank you, we will be back.
I frequent this restaurant, bringing my elderly mother. They are always accommodating to her needs. Sunday brunch is terrific. Lots of choices and high quality options.
The view was great looking out into the bay. Food was awesome, razor clams the best. Halibut was also exquisite.
As usual it was a great experience from the beginning to the end...
I hadn't been bck to this restaurant for sometime, as I work out of Seattle. It's always great to be able to eat on the water in the Northwest and this is one of the best places to do just that. The food and the service was superb. I would recommend it to anyone.
The service and food at CI Shenanigans is always consistently great. I've been many times over the years and have never been disappointed.
13 family members for a French themed brunch. Dane our waiter was a delight and we could not have had a better time. Planning on coming back for the Mexican brunch. I have already recommended it to friends.
Love this place! Best brunch in Tacoma. I've been here almost 20 times in the last few years. So great.
My wife and I went to Shenanigans to celebrate my birthday. We are always pleased with our meals, but this time they were even better than expected. We ordered scallops wrapped in bacon for an appetizer. Each was served on a round of polenta. Half a broiled lemon came with the scallops. The slightly crunchy polenta round sat in a light cream sauce. All elements worked well together. For dinner my wife had the 14 oz. pork chop, while I had seared scallops. We were warned that the pork chop would take twenty minutes. No problem. We didn't even notice the time. Both sides of the chop were brown and crisp, while the interior was not overdone. Most of the chop came home. My huge scallops were perfect. The keylime parfait was a great finisher.
Great View! Wonderful dinning experience. Food is very good! They also have awesome deserts!
We were there for Sunday brunch. Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend it. Great variety of food which was fresh and beautifully displayed. Good carving station and omelet/crepe bar and you can't beat the scenery.

Two to TANGo or BAND-Aids? (because they're ugly and will need lots of Bondo and sandpaper to smooth them out)
Go easy on him with those boxes. He is an electrician, not a wood worker and he only had a circular saw, a hole saw and a drill to build with. He is going to bondo/sand them up to make them look pretty then paint.
Two of these little guys per channel wired parallel. The boxes are .58 cubes at 60 Hz. He put egg crate on the side, top and back walls
I helped model them for him but he did everything else. I pointed him towards resources to read but I did not tell him about measuring and designing a contour circuit. I am by-no-means an expert on it and I want him to experiment and discover on his own. He is going to round over the edges and the port when he gets a chance. Any other pointers to tweak the sound?
I know the video does not do them justice. I have not heard them in person because he lives in New Mexico. The mic on his little Flip camera is pretty decent though. He said they sing beautifully. Much like their brothers, (the black cone PE exclusives) they do voice very well, especially female. He has a pair of the TB 5 1/4" neo subs that he is going to use for the .1 to these 2.

I just stripped my oak coffee table, moved the original top to the base (original base was laminated plywood) and I built a new top. I am now looking to finish the project. Wanting to keep the appearance light in color, I was thinking of either using a sanding sealer and applying 3 - 4 coats of poly OR finishing with Tung oil. Any suggestions? I have reserved the book by Bob Flexner at the local librabry.
Hi RT,
I believe it's a matter of choice, if you strickey stripped off all the residue. If you feel you didn't remove all the residue, you better stick to the Tung oil.

Agreed... I am in the market to replace me Q9550 here and keep looking at AMD but they just don't have anything that would really be an upgrade... So I think I'm going i7 860. I have been loving to build AMD systems for people again though, I like giving them business someone has to keep Nvidia and Intel in check. Although lately ATI has been giving it to Nvidia pretty hard without any lube.
Quite some time since I looked last in here Saw my last milestone was 300k. I hope I can get to at least 450k before I have to put crunching on ice for five months.
Before anything else, I wanna say congrats to MetalRacer for that WHOPPING Milestone he got today! For benefit of whoever was follwing this: Lot of variables affect your PPD. The other day I crunched for CP as a gift on his Crunchiversary, and found out a few things. Here's a screenie of the devices that day. Phenom and C2Q at same speed pretty much the same. But notice how that 3.2GHz cruncher isn't far off either. That's because that is a dedicated cruncher, whereas the other gets used for games and whatnot. Also, from experience my Q9550 can do 2800PPD on a good day, big difference. What I also found quite interesting is that when I wasn't crunching under my username there was still a backlog of over 1000PPD. So as you can see the validation process itself can be a big factor.
Milestones Today MetalRacer passes 4,000,000 Duxx passes 550,000 jctuner passes 70,000 T-Bob passes 700,000 DaedalusHelios passes 700,000 Milestones Yesterday TechPowerUp! passed 70,000,000 Supreme0verlord passed 400,000 3xploit passed 800,000 p_o_s_pc passed 450,000 BundyR passed 250,000 HammerON passed 1,800,000 dhoshaw passed 850,000 GREASEMONKEY passed 2,000,000 t77snapshot passed 90,000 Black Panther passed 3,000 mjkmike passed 20,000 Radical_Edward passed 500
Great job MetalRacer! also, a great job too all of tpu for there hard work in crunching over 70,000,000 points! EDIT: Wow, I hate I missed these "GREASEMONKEY passes 2,000,000" great job! and I see 4x4n passed 1,000,000! great job!
I can understand all that, I took an average of points gained over a period of about 20 days, non of the systems even have monitors hooked up to them, or keyboards or mice they are not touched for anything, 24/7 crunchers Not sure, I'll look into it a bit more, watch the scores a bit longer, check logs, take a gander, I know some pieces do not yield as good of points either.
Because I'll serve in the military. And I can't let the PC run unsupervised/unmonitored for five months. I'll let it run when I'm on vacation occasionally.
For people following this... Turns out my Phenom II 3.0 dual core has been having some issues and is having errors on some work here... Looks like the board doesn't like the ram so much, so I kicked it down a notch and popped the voltage up a bit, also unlocked the other 2 cores, see what she does now Looked good OCCT for an hour stable. Maybe now she will really kick out the points been running around *800PPD*, also notched up a e5200 *1000'ish PPD* and two of my Athlon 2 x3s *1500ish PPD* here a bit, should yield some more points. I'm comin for muh pie!

The times are peaceful between the great nations, trade and commerce flow as people gather to celebrate the Cloud Festival in Makapu Se City, Capital of the Western Earth Kingdom. It is said that new beginnings made at the Cloud festival are bestowed good fortune to those with conviction, if they are worthy beginnings. That said there is uncertainty in the world, the Avatar is dead and the people mourn his passing as the two Earth Kingdoms search for the appearance of the next in the cycle under the banner of pushing forward into a new era of peace.
Darkness however, always works to find an opening.
Okay so that's a basic introduction, this roleplay will be set before Aang appeared, perhaps several cycles before but technology wise we will keep it similar to the last air bender. The nations will be slightly modified to reflect this but the difference should make sense and of course I will be open to modifications before we actually open the IC.
You will be relatively inexperienced in what ever field your character has, I would recommend your character is reasonably young though if you really want a slightly older character you will have to balance out the advantages that gives you.
Metal Bending has not been invented, I may allow it to come into play later but that will be a while off and will require a lot of IC work to gain.
Blood Bending will not be allowed by a PC, I may throw it at you guys for a challenge but it will be limited and only when you are all kicking ass already if ever.
Original Bending forms I may or may not allow depending on what they are but don't be surprised if you have to wait to obtain it.

How to Clean Carpet – the right way!
Purchasing flooring is an investment. We believe that your flooring should keep up with the way you live your life. That's why we've compiled a list of tips on how to clean carpet which is essential to prolonging the life of your carpet.
One of the most important steps in how to clean carpet s simply to vacuum regularly. When vacuuming wall-to-wall carpet you should divide the floor into sections and focus on one area at a time. If you have plush carpet, you will need to devote more time to each section. Make two to three passes with the cleaner moving slowly in order to remove deep dirt.

Murdoch buys Dutch league rights
Posted on: 09 Aug 2012
The Hague: Media magnate Rupert Murdoch has bought the live broadcasting rights of the Dutch football league for around 1 billion euros.
Murdoch's US television network Fox will broadcast the Eredivisie matches for 12 years, starting in the 2013-14 season, reports Xinhua.
The Eredivisie CV, the organization of clubs in the Dutch league, will keep 49 percent of their shares and the remaining 51 percent will be owned by Fox.
In the 2012-13 season, the live rights are still held by Eredivisie Live, owned by the clubs, and the rights to broadcast the summaries of the matches are owned by the national channel NOS.
Murdoch takes over football channel Eredivisie Live, but will probably develop the channel into a sports channel under the name of Sky Murdoch's company.
His company also owns the rights of the major leagues in Italy, Germany and England.

Gregor swings a sweet bat and string bass
Jim Ecker
Tuesday, August 04, 2009
Conrad Gregor and his teammates took a 12-hour bus ride from Indiana to New York for a major event this year, but it wasn't for a baseball tournament. No, this trip was for a performance at the famed Lincoln Center in New York City, and his teammates were members of the orchestra from Carmel High School, not the baseball team.
They didn't go to see a performance at the Lincoln Center. They went to perform themselves. Gregor is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound member of the Carmel orchestra who plays the string bass.
"That's sort of a hidden talent that a lot of people don't know about me," he said.
Gregor is also a talented 6-foot-3, 220-pound first baseman and outfielder at Carmel High, talented enough to make the Aflac All-American High School Classic in San Diego on Aug. 16. He can play sweet music with his string bass or his bat, a .400-plus hitter with power and a musical ear.
He's been playing the string bass since the sixth grade. "It's relaxing for me," he said. "It relieves my stress during the day."
Gregor said he greatly enjoyed the trip to New York City this year. They got to see the sights of New York, including the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building, and the orchestra won its competition at the Lincoln Center.
Gregor seems to succeed at just about everything he tries. He's got a 3.4 GPA and posted a 1900 on the SAT exam. He helped Carmel High School win the state football title in 2007 as a tight end, but stopped playing football after that season to focus on baseball. "I knew I wanted to play baseball, because that's what I love most," he said.
The Carmel High School football coach reluctantly let him go. "He was upset," said Gregor, "but he was OK with the choice I made."
Gregor has been a decorated scholar-athlete at Carmel High School who also helps with Special Olympics. He takes education, sports and music seriously.
"Both my parents value education highly," he said. "Getting an education and a good degree will help me in life if baseball doesn't work out."
Gregor has committed to play college baseball at Vanderbilt, pending the draft. He's been spending the summer in Ohio, playing baseball for the Midland Redskins. He left home the first week of June and won't return until the third week of August, following the Aflac game at PETCO Park in San Diego.
He's never been away from home for such a long period of time. "Never in my life," he said.
He's been living with one of Midland's coaches this summer. He's said the experience of being away from home has helped him mature and accept more responsibilities.
"Fixing meals, doing your laundry, getting places and getting to practice on time," he said. "It's managing your daily schedule."
He's also had a good time with the team.
"It's going well," he said. "I've learned so many little things about the game and had a lot of fun."
Gregor's long summer away from home is almost over, but he's still got a trip to New Mexico for a tournament and the trip to San Diego for the Aflac game.
"It's just such an honor," he said of being an Aflac All-American. "I'm thankful I'll get an opportunity to play. It's one of the most important games of the year."

First Review for The Red Knight and stuff.
I want an interrobang on my keyboard, not least because it sums up my default setting almost perfectly. We're all born dazed and confused by our surroundings, some of us maintain that state throughout our lives *waves*. Anywho.
Went to London to talk word turkey yesterday. The village by the muddy estuary set out to prove my grumpiness unfounded as even the Apple i temple/store couldn't annoy me. Had a nice-ish Thai meal, talked book stuff then went for a very quick 'arf in an O'Neills down by Liberty. (We lamented that we lacked time to catch up with Londonites at this point as we could have settled in for a reet good sesh). The pub and surroundings felt very Secret World;)it wasn't thronged, the ale was pleasantly cool, the streets not too busy, the air balmy. T'was grand.
The train back was packed up until B'ham Intl. Airport, where the Brazillians and their, alas, screaming baby, got off. Tired bunnies staggered into bed at 3-ish:(
Good news is that a temple of geeky-nerdiness in London is prolly gonna be stocking mi book (hurray!) and I got mi first (possibly last!:) review for The Red Knight. It made me smile. He grokked my book. It's here anyways, http://www.theeloquentpage.co.uk/
I've got a shed load of real work to do:( *And* kit to sort for this weekend when I'm off to Death Unto Darkness. I am rather stoked about this as I have heard gud about the game, and of course, one gets to hang out with lovely peeps.

Recipe by N1COLE
"A cooked, nonalcoholic version of a well-known favorite, great as an appetizer."
Watch video tips and tricks
8 fresh oysters in shells
1/3 cup Fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
hot pepper sauce to taste
salt to taste
My husband requested oysters for his birthday dinner...we had them raw, in pasta, and in this recipe. This was our favorite! Bar-b-queing the oysters also made shucking much easier.
I mixed the ingredients together and poured them over freshly grilled oysters. AMAZING! And so simple - thank you! :D
5 Ratings
These are great. This was my first time grilling oysters so I was a bit leary. They turned out great.
This was my first time at making oysters, and they turned out pretty tasty. I used the oven since the BBQ was rained out. I cooked the oysters at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until they cracked open. I also omitted the hot sauce since I am a wimp. Yum!

Mortgage-Debt Forgiveness Preventing Foreclosures

Mortgage-Debt Forgiveness Preventing Foreclosures By Les Christie CNNMoney June 22, 2012 http://money.cnn.com/2012/06/22/real_estate/mortgage-debt/index.htm NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Reducing the amount struggling homeowners owe on their mortgages is proving to be a more effective way to prevent foreclosures than other methods, such as reducing interest rates or postponing payments, a new report finds. In a report presented this week, Amherst Securities Group said that when principal reductions brought mortgages near the home's market value, borrowers were substantially less likely to fall behind on payments again and lose their homes. Only 12% of borrowers who received principal reductions re-defaulted in 2011, Amherst found. That's compared with 23% of borrowers who received mortgage modifications with interest rate reductions (but no principal reduction) and 30% who received forbearance, which postpones their debt repayment. "[Modifications] with principal forgiveness are apt to be most effective, as the borrower no longer owes the money -- so he is no longer hopelessly underwater," said Laurie Goodman, Amherst's housing market analyst and one of the authors of the report. The success these principal reductions have had in turning delinquent borrowers back into paying clients has led many lenders to step up debt forgiveness on the loans in their own portfolios. So far this year, principal reductions have accounted for 40% of the modifications done by the banks, up dramatically from 25% in 2011 and 11% in 2010, according to Amherst. The mortgage servicers cannot forgive debt on loans that are owned or backed by one of the two government- controlled mortgage giants, Fannie Mae (FNMA, Fortune 500) and Freddie Mac (FRE), however, and they are limited in what they can forgive on loans owned by investors. That means, of the vast majority of loans -- 6 million since April 2009, according to the Treasury Department -- only a fraction have received debt forgiveness. That may be changing, though. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which controls the majority of outstanding mortgages through its oversight of Fannie and Freddie, has thus far prohibited the mortgage giants from including debt forgiveness as part of their mortgage modifications. Last month, however, Fannie and Freddie announced they would participate in two programs in California and Nevada that will use part of a $7.6 billion Hardest Hit Fund to pay down loans the companies own or back. However, the move will not cost Fannie and Freddie anything and is a far cry from the principal reduction that private mortgage servicers are extending to borrowers. "My guess is that eventually, [Fannie and Freddie will] go down that path, but there's still a lot of reticence there," said Mark Zandi, the chief economist for Moody's Analytics. "People have problems with principal reduction. They think it's unfair." Even if Fannie and Freddie remain on the sidelines, Amherst said it expects to see a continued increase in principal reductions. One reason is the $25 billion settlement reached in March between the five big mortgage banks and the state attorneys general. As part of the settlement, the banks must use $13 billion to reduce principal on mortgages held by underwater borrowers. Even more principal reductions will also result from the tripling of incentives paid to mortgage investors who participate in the Principal Reduction Alternative (PRA), part of the Home Affordable Modification Program. For each dollar investors -- the pension funds, municipalities and other buyers of mortgage-backed securities -- allow to be written off, they can get back as much as 63 cents from Treasury. By April, 2012, the number of modifications started under Principal Reduction Alternative had jumped to about 83,000 from 67,000 in January. The potential for building equity in the home, which principal reduction revives, is a major carrot for homeowners, especially if they're underwater on their home, said Sam Khater, a senior economist for CoreLogic. The typical amount of debt forgiven in a principal- reduction modification is about $60,000, according to the Treasury Department. Meanwhile, the average amount that borrowers are underwater is about $70,000, said Sam Khater, senior economist for CoreLogic. As a result, borrowers can be very close to even once their modifications are done, he said. "In two or three years of regular payments -- and a little home price appreciation -- the borrower can be right-side up again," said Khater. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Edward Creagan, M.D.
"The magic of the electronic village is transforming health information. The mouse and keyboard have extended the stethoscope to the 500 million people now online." — Dr. Edward Creagan
The power of the medium inspires Dr. Edward Creagan as he searches for ways to share Mayo Clinic's vast resources with the general public.
Dr. Creagan, a Newark, N.J., native, is board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice medicine and palliative care. He has been with Mayo Clinic since 1973 and in 1999 was president of the staff of Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Creagan, a professor of medical oncology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, was honored in 1995 with the John and Roma Rouse Professor of Humanism in Medicine Award and in 1992 with the Distinguished Mayo Clinician Award, Mayo's highest recognition. He has been recognized with the American Cancer Society Professorship of Clinical Oncology.
He describes his areas of special interest as "wellness as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual-financial model" and fitness, mind-body connection, aging and burnout.
Dr. Creagan has been an associate medical editor with Mayo Clinic's health information websites and has edited publications and CD-ROMs and reviewed articles.
"We the team of (the website) provide reliable, easy-to-understand health and wellness information so that each of us can have productive, meaningful lives," he says.

Don't try to go it alone when adversity hits
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.

It's important to remember that we're all in the same boat and we need to reach out to each other during the good times and the not-so-good times. Let me share some thoughts on this topic relative to recent blog comments:
- To intelligently access the health care delivery system, we need to have a primary care doctor or other health care provider who can open the doors for us. To wind up in an emergency room or an urgent care setting is often not optimum. We need someone who knows us, someone who cares about us, and someone who can act as an advocate to help us navigate through the bewildering maze of options.
- For those of us with disabilities of our own and yet struggling with the care of elderly individuals, we cannot go it alone. Social service agencies and other professionals are available to provide guidance. When we are tired, frustrated and discouraged, our view of life becomes distorted and cloudy. We need help to find our way out of the fog.
- It is clear that it is not possible to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps" when we are struggling and overwhelmed with depression and grief. A thoughtful listener — whether it is a member of the clergy, health care provider or a friend — can often help us get through times of crisis.

I am so alone...I know no one...I have no where to go...I have tried churches, people there are too fake and unreal, nice to your face but dont get to know them they are not the same people they were on Sundays. I have tried it all, unsuccessfully. I should have died when I was so ill as a child. If I had died I would not have had to live the last 45 years of hell. I have tried so hard to fit in and be happy. Nothing ever works. Life just plain is not worth this hardship and hell. The people that could have cared, didnt. The people I cared for pushed me away. I was never good enough for anyone. Only wanted to fit in.

I have a DIV that I want to touch the bottom of the screen (for appearance reasons). Sometimes the content is enough tall to do that, but sometimes the content is too short and the DIV won't touch the bottom of the screen. Is there a simple workaround?

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If you set min-height to 100% for the DIV, you also need to include:
Elements expand to the size of their container, so make sure the container (being the page itself) has a height of 100% as well. | |||||||||
This is way to do it: http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/ | |||
IE6 fix to go along with Jimmeh's answer:

min-height:100% should work assuming it's not in another div with a height set, | |||||||||||||||||||||
If you set the div's CSS to position:absolute you can use:

1 Meetup Group matches "Heavy Metal" near Austin, TX
No one should ever miss a metal concert because they didn't know about it or had no one to go with. The purpose of this group is to eliminate these problems. I took over the group because I've met too many awesome people through it to let it die. I will probably never organize anything for you all. I'm too busy with work and too lazy otherwise. Just post your upcoming shows and meetup, it's that simple. Anyone's welcome, all you gotta do is love heavy metal \m/

Things To Do @ KelleyKelley Library Book Group Theatrical Performance Join us for an evening of holiday spirit. Marguerite Matthews and Greg Gathers of the Pontine Theater present a program based on a short story by Kate Douglas Wiggin, best remembered today as the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. The Romance of a Christmas Card(1916)is set in the fictional village of Beulah, New Hampshire; it tells of the redemptive power of two Christmas cards, designed by the minister's wife, which draw two prodigal sons home for the holidays and reunite two troubled families on one magical Christmas Eve. Pontine's staging of Wiggin's tale plumbs the nostalgic charm of this heart-warming Christmas story with an inventive mix of storytelling and Victorian toy theatre figures---perfect for intimate spaces and small audiences. |

State 'surplus' should be used to increase EIC, school aid, lower property tax burdens
During a news conference Thursday morning, House and Senate Republican leaders announced their support for House File 1, a bill that would remove the cap on the $60 million Taxpayer Trust Fund, and create a Taxpayer Trust and Tax Credit Fund. If adopted, the result would be that Iowa taxpayers would receive a tax credit equal to the amount of money in the new fund, determined by dividing same by the number of eligible individual taxpayers. Today, at their news conference, it was estimated that this could approximate $750 per eligible taxpayer.
This all sounds like a neat idea, but hopefully common sense will prevail and allow the legislature to use the "surplus" not by boldly endorsing a tax credit, but rather use the available funds to 1) protect Iowans from property tax increases resulting from boosting basic state aid for Iowa school districts by 4 percent; 2), increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is a pro-family and pro-economic growth tax cut; and 3), cutting property taxes for all Iowa businesses, with a special emphasis on small businesses.
All this comes about because we learned on Wednesday from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau that the state coffers have approximately $850 million in addition to the $500 million contained in the Economic Emergency Fund and the Rainy Day Fund. This was quite a surprise to everyone in the legislature, and probably even the governor's office.

Say it with a USS Enterprise ring
Gino Arizmendi of Art and Gems jewelers has carved quite a tidy niche for himself since the creation of his Police Box Ring last year.
Since then, his collection has grown to encompass Iron Man, with an arc reactor ring; the Legend of Zelda, with two stunning pendants; and this rather stylish "Doctor Who"-inspired necklace.
But he's never forgotten his roots. Each piece gets tested with customers with a one-off concept posted to the Art and Gems Web site. The Pokemon ring he recently created has gathered plenty of attention, but we'd love to see what he is calling the Boldly Go Ring come to production. … Read more

This sale should have been online as I suspect that the sudden appearance of tons of Rapha kit on Ebay is as a result of people visiting this sale with a view to Ebay profiteering. There is more to the UK than London is there not RAPHA ?

We need one in Scotland as well, or even better, some parity with pricing with the on line sale stuff and what's on offer at the sample sale.

IrDa Howto
From OESF
Howto utilize the irda port on the Zaurus
Contents |
On the left hand side of the Sharp Zaurus a !IrDa port is located. The !IrDa port is not very powerfull and only can go a few feet at most. A repeater can be used for more fun irda hacking (but that is a separate howto).
At this time applications can utilize the !IrDa port if they are developed with Qt. (If someone know how to use it via java etc please send an e-mail to the address at the top.)
Using the irda port is as simple as creating an object and calling send.
Ir *testIr = new Ir(this, "!TestIrObject"); testIr->send("/proc/uptime", "Uptime file", "text/plain");
You can send files or !DocLnk files. See the documentation that came with the qpe sdk for more detailed information.
When using the function:
void send( const QString & fn, const QString & description, const QString & mimetype = QString::null )
You must set the mimetype if the file doesn't have an extension otherwise the irda transfer will crash the other Zaurus and cause it to reboot.
The signal:
done( Ir * irda )
Is not implemented and shouldn't be used.
The static meathod:
bool Ir::supported()
at the time of this writing isn't supported and will always return true, but the applications should still call this for a future binary that will have a working version of this function.
Download example source and binary irda demo app in a tar.gz file [here | http://docs.zaurus.com/downloads/ir.tar.gz]. Simply copy the "ir" executable over to the Zaurus and run it from the command line. The gui test program allows for either sending text or a file to another Zaurus. The source is included in the tar.gz for further review and exploration.

Wine Logistics Company's Failure Puts Amazon.com's Wine Future At Risk
With the news today that New Vine Logistics, a Napa, California wine-shipping service has closed up shop, it looks like my long-held dream of having Amazon.com deliver my wine as well as my books may be just a little further away. New Vine Logistics has suspended operations after multiple attempts to raise new financing. Wine Business reports that the eight-year-old company stopped processing new orders last week. The company handled fulfillment for direct orders for around 200 wineries and merchants including some big names such as Beringer and Chateau St. Jean helping them navigate the various state laws regarding alcohol shipments. Because wine shipping policies are determined by the state this is often no easy task. New Vine Logistics had a contract with Amazon.com to work on a way to bring wine shipments to Amazon.com
The Santa Rosa Democrat says that one of the company's creditors, Silicon Valley Bank, arrived at the Napa offices Friday and sent around 100 employees home without pay. Wine is being returned to the vintners who now have to find a new way to get their wines to the customers. The company was one of the biggest in the wine shipping business and as the Wall Street Journal mentions, this does cast doubts on the viability of businesses that provide direct shipping of wine to customers. The Journal says that direct shipping is just a small part of total U.S. wine sales.
UPDATE: Wine Business reports that Inertia Beverage Group is working on a deal with Silicon Valley Bank to acquire its debt position in New Vine and to take over the company's responsibilities.

It's time to clean house in Auditor's Office
To the editor:
I've known Laurie Nelson for over 8 years now. I have enjoyed getting to know this passionate, conservative lady. She has a true heart for her country, her state, and her community. She also has a deep concern for the voters, that their voices will be heard and that no one who is ineligible to vote will take away the voter's voices.
Just this summer, I was able to help get an absentee voter database together and was shocked to find my deceased aunt's name as an active voter. She has been gone for at least five years. Not only was she listed, but several others that were either deceased or had moved quite some time ago.

This online exhibition celebrates a temporary display which opened in November 2012 in Winterthur's Ceramics and Glass Galleries. The Nadler collection of Chinese export porcelain, recently promised to Winterthur, focuses on objects from the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China from 1645 until 1908. Many of the pieces date to the 19th century and include wares made for different markets around the world. The Nadlers began collecting while traveling in New England and were intrigued by the broad range of patterns produced. Surprised at how little information was available on the period, however, they eventually published China to Order, which discusses their porcelain against the historical backdrop of trade with China. (An updated digital, version of China to Order was created for this online exhibition.)
Daniel Nadler was born in Egypt of European parents and has always had a deep love of design and fascination with the ability of objects to illuminate the past. Before beginning his career as a construction manager, he spent two years in Japan as an Air Force officer; gaining an appreciation for Oriental art. Dan met Serga in her native Iran, and over the past thirty-five years they have built their collection together.
The Nadlers, now retired, live in New York City when they are not traveling. They continue to add to their collection, which includes Japanese export porcelain as well. Both of the Nadlers are avid photographers, and they contributed the images for this virtual exhibition. Serga is a docent emerita of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she guided tours for eighteen years.
In celebration of the Nadler promised gift, the upcoming Winterthur Ceramics Conference (April 4-5, 2013) will be themed The World is a Marketplace: An Obsession with Chinese Porcelain. The conference will will bring together international scholars and collectors and will feature a series of lectures and hands-on workshops.
