I don't have a playing style unless you consider "freakin' hack" a style.
All of my customer service issues for the last eight years have been handled by Shawn Nuthall. I have always been treated extremely well by Mr. Nuthall.
+1 for Matt King - he sent me schematics for my SE EG (couldn't find them on the web site) same day, and helped me out alot with my recent inquiry about my Mira.

Bel Lago
Online Reservations
Parking can be trying! They do have overflow parking in the nursery next door which took us a while to figure out! Food was excellent and staff ( our waitress was Andrea and she was AMAZING!) was quite friendly. Only negative for us was the seating. The veranda was full so he said he would sit us by a window so we could see out across the water. My view was of four women eating and photographing themselves....couldn't see a bit of water! Was. Special occasion. Suppose I should have spoken up. Our amazing waitress made up for it. You have a gem in Andrea, Bel Lago!!
Food was very good, very diverse wine list and knowledgable steward. Service a bit uneven with no real continuity for an establishment of this potential. Seemed like servers were bouncing all over the restaurant with no real organization. Still a great visit for a local place.
We have just moved to the area and this will be a regular for us. THANKS
After reading mixed reviews, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I drive by all the time and have been curious to try it out. My husband and I were very pleased. Our server did take a while to take our order, but we were not in a hurry to eat and leave. The drink I ordered was great and our food was excellent. We stopped up at the roof top terrace, which had a great view of the water. We are looking forward to going back!
Great food, service, and atmosphere. Grab a friend or two and head over...you won't be dissatisfied!
We've enjoyed dinner at Bel Lago, but this was our first time to enjoy Sunday brunch. We were pleased that we were able to sit at a table with a lovely view of the water. Everyone in our family group, from age 66 to age 9, enjoyed the variety and quality of the food. I was pleased that there were delicious breakfast entrees, fresh, creative salads, wonderful entrees, and a lovely variety of delicious desserts. The price was reasonable and our waiter was attentive, keeping our table cleared, our beverages replenished, and not rushing us. We will be back.
My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner here. The food was fantastic and the service was great. We got a table by the open windows overlooking the water- perfect view for dinner!
Wonderful atmosphere. We were seated on the verandah for lunch & we felt we were on vacation. Food was great. Service was attentive but not rushed. We had a group of six & separate checks were no problem. Had a lovely time.
Friday was girls night out and 5 of us went for a lovely evening on the veranda of Bel Lago in Westerville. Our wait staff was very friendly and made some changes to the menu upon our request. We will definitely go again for we had a wonderful time and were not rushed by the staff. Food was very good and service was outstanding. There were only 2 settings on the veranda for more than a party of 4 and we did experience the staff going in and out of the service door close to our table.
I enjoyed this restaurant because we ate on the enclosed porch with the windows wide open, overlooking the beautiful reservoir on an early evening with sunny, pleasant skies. There were boats on the water and it gave an away from home vacation vibe. The service was very good! Very attentive, pleasant, and helpful.
It is a bit out of the way but very worth the drive there. The restaurant is really impressive inside very nicely done and the bar is beautiful. Sitting on patio takes special reservations / an extra wait of about 40 min, so we decided to take an inside table. Still a nice view out the windows. The lobster mac and cheese had large chunks of lobster claw meat and was very good, hyde park still has the best. The Shrimp and Sausage risotto was delicious, sausage was spicy. Definitely a good choice. The house salad was nice and lightly dressed. The twin filets were good but I'd order something else next time. Save room for dessert, chocolate cake and caramel cheesecake - seriously good!
This was our first visit to Bel Lago and right from the first step inside the door we were impressed. It's a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful ambiance. The service was excellent and our waitress was helpful in selecting drinks and entrees. The food was delicious and even though my pasta was overdone- the staff was quick to remedy the problem. This was our anniversary dinner and we were more than pleased with our choice for the night. Can't wait to return!
Wonderful food, beautiful setting and incredible service. Why had I not heard of this restaurant sooner?
I have never had a bad meal or service there. I always take out of town guests to the restaurant.
This place is so lovely, I just want to keep it to myself and not tell anyone about it! The staff is extremely polite, noise level is very low so table talk is possible, and the food was delicious! They also added a huge complimentary dessert for my boyfriend's birthday. Very beautiful setting and view. I would definitely recommend dining here.
Having dined here numerous times, I must say I am always thrilled with the "total package" of Bel Lago! Nice menu, well-prepared and presented food, great variety of wine and beer, gorgeous view.... you must experience to appreciate this lovely gem in Westerville overlooking Hoover Reservoir! Lovely.
Celebrated my husbands 50th Birthday @ Bel Lago.The food was outstanding, as was the wine list and service. We can not wait to go back! The view of the water with the sunset was so beautiful. Definately our favorite place to treat ourselves. Very affordable luxury, what is not to love!!
We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our children and spouses at the Sunday brunch. The table was very comfortable for the six of us. Our reservation was for 1 p.m. We found the variety of foods very nice. Each item that we tried was just wonderful. Our favorites were the sugar bacon, lobster mac 'n cheese and eggs benedict. Our waiter was very pleasant and anticipated our every need. Possible improvements: Bagels were the only bread...maybe a crescent or small dinner roll could be added. At 1 p.m. there were quite a few foods that were gone, which made for a second or third trip back to have a particular dish.
My friend and I had reservations for 6:00 and was promptly escorted to our table. We had a beautiful view of the river. Our waitress was very prompt with out drink orders and food. We enjoyed the low key atmosphere so that we could catch up on our visit with each other without a ton of interruptions but we were still taken care of with full attention to our needs. The food was excellent along with the wine that we chose.
We took my mom and dad there to celebrate their birthdays. I had indicated on the open table reservation what it was and they brought a special dessert with birthday plate and candle so that was a nice touch! We each had a different entree and all were very good. We would definitely return-it is a great location!
Excellent brunch - good selection of typical breakfast foods (eggs, sausage, etc), but prime rib, shrimp excellent too. Tons of fresh fruit - and deserts. And the lobster mac-n-cheese was worth seconds (actually, thirds!). Service very prompt, friendly. View was amazing even on a semi-cloudy day. We'll be back!
Loved our experience at Bella Lago!! My husband and I were able to sit near the windows overlooking the water....it was beautiful. The food was great and so was the service. We are planning to make it our traditional Anniversary destination
My wife and I went to Bel Lago to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. It was our first time dining at Bel Lago and it met every expectation. The atmosphere was great. Quiet enough to talk without needing to raise your voice. Romantic atmosphere and lighting. The food was excellent. My wife had Chicken Piccata and I had the New York Strip. Every item on the menu had subtle twists in ingredients that worked flawlessly. The service was fantastic. The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a fantastic evening.
The veranda on a sunny day is the best view and relaxing atmosphere in the city.
Thank you for making this birthday brunch a lovely memory. The staff was attentive and even brought desserts with a candle for the birthday girl, a very sweet and thoughtful gesture from the manager and the wait staff was happy to oblique. A perfect place with excellent food and amazing people. Thank you again.
My visited Bel Lago for the 1st time for our anniversary. We were seated on the veranda - it is first come first serve for seating out there. It has an amazing view of Hoover Reservoir. We arrived shortly before sunset and were treated to a great view. It reminded both of us of being in South Carolina and eating on the water. Our anniversary was on a Monday, which also happened to be Retail Wine Night, which we were unaware of. Our meals were very good and we were given a complimentary dessert of chocolate sheet cake and ice cream. The service was fantastic. We will definitely return to try one of the many great sounding entrees. All in all a great anniversary.
Why have we not heard of Bel Lago before? Outstanding service and well prepared dishes. Live the antipasto starter and the trout.
It was our Anniversary and we had a reservation somewhere else. We had dined here years ago and it came to my mind that this would be more romantic. I asked for special seating, if available, in the special request section. We were seated at a table in the window on the water. Absolutely Beautiful. We were not rushed. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was wonderful. All in all, it was a perfect night. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an adult evening. We will be back with friends.
Having vacationed in the Gulf, Keys, Atlantic Seaboard and Caribbean and dined at many waterfront resturantes, it was very pleasant to have that experience here at home. The atmosphere was casually elegant. The service was informed, attentive and not overbearing. The food was excellent and cooked to request. For the appetizer, we had the crab lobster tower, while it was good, I think we would try something else next time. It looked amazing but fell a little short on flavor. For the main selection I had the twin filet and my wife had the seared ahi tuna, both were very very tasty. Dessert was the creme brulee, it was very smooth and flavorful and paired perfectly with a cup of coffee. We both loved Bel Lago.
This was my first time at Bel Lago and it was fantastic. I would higly recommend their lobster macaroni. Lots of lobster in it! The view of Hoover Resevoir really added to the experience. Highly recommend.
We were there for a business lunch. Everything was terrific. The service was friendly and helpful. The menu had many interesting items; I had the shaved prime rib sandwich and my guest had the crab cakes. The view looking over the water is very special. This is easy to get to and well worth the trip.
This was a first-time experience. Our waiter was knowledgeable and professional. We went with friends, and we all had excellent meals of pasta, trout or pork chops. Great place for conversation.
With the belt tightening that all American families do eating out is an expense that is typically reduced. So when you do go out you want to make sure your dollar goes a long way and Bel Lago always delivers. Other places can brag of a larger menu or faster service, etc. But for my buck, Bel Lago has done what it takes over repeated visits to guarantee my business for both family and business gatherings. Rick at the bar has always taken exceptional care of us and goes out of his way to stop by our table even if he is not serving us. The food is always top notch and the wine list offers something for any occasion. And you can't rate this place without addressing the beautiful water front view with seating right over the water. :)
Bel Lago not only has the most scrumptious food, they treat you like royalty and help with a special surprise if you're celebrating a special day. I've never been disappointed and always leave feeling like I've been on a mini vacation. The ambiance is relaxing, hosts snd servers are beyond friendly and the food is amazing!
This resturant did a wonderful job with service and the food was delicious. We went here for my boyfriend's birthday. When I made the reservation I mentioned it was his birthday. At the end of the dinner they came out with an already made dessert for his birthday which was a wonderful surprise and treat. I didn't even have to mention it to the staff they came prepared. Would highly recommend this place. Plus the view is beautiful during sunset (when we were there).
The food was excellent!! The service was also very good. Our waiter was very kind and knowledgable.
Great Food/coming from a New Yorker/that means allot
Four of us went to Bel Lago for my birthday. It is set on the lake, making your feel that you are at a resort. The service was excellent. I had the linguine with clams which tasted like authentic italian. The homemade focacia was wonderful. Despite the end of the season, the caprese salad had fresh ripe tomatoes. At the end, they brought me a yummy chocolate cake in a bowl with Happy Birthday written in chocolate sauce!
This restaurant is close to home so I visit here often. The food has always been very good and lately the service level has improved to match the food quality. Nice wine selection and good selection of draft beer.
I enjoyed the quiet to moderate tone of the this restaurant. My first impression of the restaurant was great. The potato leek soup was very delightful but the salmon salad was surprisingly delicious. The food portions are filling. The service was okay slightly nonchalant & quick to collect payment, however, it was lunch time (not busy at all) so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I plan to take my mom the next time she's in town because the food was very good and fresh. Enjoy!
The food and service were wonderful. It does get rather noisy on the veranda with the windows closed and the sound traveling in a loop. It didn't help we had a blown speaker right above us that was up too high.
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving experience at Bel Lago. From the staff who greeted us at the door to our server(s) and the turkey dinner we enjoyed, the experience was like home, without having to do the dishes. Thank you.
I have been to this restaurant several times before and I have always had a great experience. The service is great and the food is also. They accommodate food allergies and requests very well, esp. gluten free, and the atmosphere is pleasant and appealing. If you haven't tried them, you won't be disappointed.
Meal was fantastic, service very good, and ambiance excellent . Fourth year in a row for thanks giving meal, and this was the best yet. Can't wait till next year, see you then if not before.
While we have dined at Bel Lago before, we hadn't been there for Thanksgiving dinner. We were pleasantly surprised that they did such a great job preparing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious and our server was perfect. Very nice.
What a wonderful spot to celebrate Thanksgiving! We had a beautiful table, superb service, and the Thanksgiving turkey feast was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect for a special day. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant for any special occasion or just because.
We had out Thanksgiving dinner here and was given a table overlooking the water. The hospitality was amazing and made us feel like family. We did not feel rushed to get in and get out even though they were very busy and our waitress did a fabulous job of checking up on us but not bugging us. The food was amazing, the spices were just right, the turkey was moist and soft. We may have found our new favorite restaurant in CBUS.
The brunch buffet was very good. Rather than large amounts of food left to sit in warmers the restaurant opts to refill the warmers regularly so that the food is fresher. The candy coated bacon is incredible- never had anything like it. Prime Rib was well seasoned and properly prepared- very tender and flavorful. I am anxious to go back and try the dinner menu because if they can do brunch well then I am hopeful dinner will also be well done.
The service was top notch! Very friendly and knowledgeable waiter. Wonderful atmosphere. Very guiet. Great place for a date night!
We went for lunch during the week. Good lunch menu, prices we reasonable, and the service was very good. Decorated really festive for Christmas. This was our first time here and can't wait to go back.

Korz says these touches are part of the plan to make the concept more than just the average Asian option. Another special touch is the concept's large condiment counter. Korz says it has been very popular because everyone can find their own favorite things at the counter to make dishes suit their taste.
"We felt that we couldn't go for the absolute, most-authentic route in any of these operations," Korz says. "What we wanted to do was really take authentic cues but have a little but of fun with the concepts."

Summer Skin Tips
This summer, get healthy, smooth, glowing skin with these amazing tips.
Sun Protection
Slather yourself with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (with UVA and UVB protection) of at least SPF 15, and reapply regularly. Unsure which sunscreen will work best? The Skin Cancer Foundation awards their annual Seal of Recommendation to the safest and most effective products on the market: Go to skincancer.org to get a print-and-shop list.
Sunscreen lotions and sprays alone let some UV light sneak through, and people skimp on application, just as they do with makeup. The best way to stay protected: Double up by layering makeup over a moisturizer containing an SPF of 15 or higher and UVA filters (Mexoryl, Helioplex, or avobenzone). Try Garnier Nutritioniste Ultra-Lift Pro Deep Wrinkle Cream SPF 20 ($17, drugstores) or SkinCeuticals Active UV Defense Sunscreen Cream SPF 15 ($29, skinceuticals.com).
You even need SPF on your hair! The scalp is easily sunburned, especially if your hair is light-colored or fine. Whatever your hair type, play it safe by treating your roots with a protective cream like Redken UV Rescue, $15, redken.com for stores, or by wearing a scarf or hat like the Cabanalife Reversible Sun Hat, cabanalife.com, $48, with full UV protection.
To protect against splotchiness when applying a self-tanner, make sure to exfoliate first, and use a body lotion to prime your skin.
About six hours after applying your self-tanner, rinse off in the shower and make sure to moisturize when you get out. Moisturizing is the key to maintaining your self-tan.
If you're nervous about trying out a fake tan, try a tanner-lotion hybrid; these have low doses of color combined with moisturizer, so it's harder to make a mistake. You'll see a subtle difference a few hours after you first apply it, with the color increasing each time you slather it on.
Even if you have darker skin and don't tan easily, you still need to wear sunscreen everyday. The melanin in darker skin protects it mostly from the burning UVB rays but offers less protection from the UVA ones that penetrate deeper, causing not only photo-aging (wrinkles, sagging, and brown spots), but melanoma the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Make sure to wear at least an SPF 30 daily, even if you're going to be in the car or in the shade! You can get sunburn from the reflection off sand, water and pavement.
It's a myth that you have to sunbathe to absorb vitamin D. Twenty to thirty minutes of incidental sun exposure during the day walking to your car, grabbing your mail is all you need.
Tinted moisturizer, cream blush and powder blush are all you need to fake a great tan.
Try circuit training to build muscle and boost metabolism; alternating strength moves and cardio training three times a week for 25 minutes will help you burn more calories throughout the day while also helping you lose inches off your waistline.
For big results, focus on one essential exercise: ball squats. "Hands down, they are the best," says Kristin Reisinger, M.S., R.D., a New York Citybased personal trainer and sports nutritionist. "This one move hits your glutes, quads, and hamstrings."
Dumbbells are better for muscle toning than weight machines, because they require no adjusting, they allow the body to move naturally, and they can be used for dozens of different exercises (while machines have a limited repertoire).
Sit still for no more than three minutes between weight-lifting sets. Waiting longer allows your muscles to cool down, weakening the benefits of the exercise.
Work all of your ab muscles by lying on your back (knees bent, feet flat on the floor) and having a partner throw a medicine ball to you in different directions straight at you, to your left, to your right. Catch the ball by moving only your torso and arms. Toss the ball back to your partner. DO: Two sets of 20 repetitions, two to three times a week.
Rowing isn't just about your arms; it's a powerful toner for your lower body, especially the largest muscle in your butt. DO: 30 minutes once a week at an intensity level of 7 or 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being exhaustion). Increase by 10 to 15 minutes every three weeks. Bored? Download iRow ($7.99, iTrain.com) to your iPod, and it's like having a coxswain guide your workout.
When working on your abs or underbutt, the key to consistent progress is to do less every three weeks, not more. On the third week of your program, decrease the number of repetitions by a third. In the fourth and fifth weeks, increase the weight and take an extra 30 seconds of rest between sets (but keep the number of repetitions the same as week three). During the sixth week, drop the number of repetitions again (like you did in week three), and so on.
To condition your entire core, try the plank move four times a week. To do this move, start in a push-up position with forearms on the floor. Lift your arms and legs off the ground so that only your toes and the flats of your forearms remain on the floor. Keeping your back neutral and your belly button pulled in, hold this position for 20-60 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 sets.
To get a firm and toned butt, try the bridge move four times a week. To start this move, use a gym mat or a towel, lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Rest your arms on the ground parallel to your body, with your palms facing down. Keeping your upper back and your feet firmly on the mat, use your hands to support your body and raise your glutes up toward the ceiling as high as you can while contracting (squeezing) your glutes. Release the contraction and lower your glutes almost to the floor, being careful not to touch the mat. Then, immediately raise your glutes again while contracting the muscles. Continue to contract and release for about 12-15 reps. On your last repetition, hold the contraction for about 10 seconds. Repeat 2-3 times daily.
Any exercise that involves pushing or pulling against a resistance such as yoga, Pilates, push-ups, planks, and using resistance bands is good for muscle toning and endurance.
Makeup Meltdowns
Bright summer sun makes most foundations look heavy. "So touch up skin tone, don't cover up," suggests celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal. Try tinted moisturizers, concealers, or stick foundations. MC Recommends: Laura Mercier Stick Foundation, Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers.
The trick to keeping your makeup on your face when it's hot out is minimizing the amount of oil on the surface of your skin. Apply a mattifying serums after cleansing and moisturizing in the morning, before you apply your makeup. Try: Chanel Precision T-Mat Shine Control.
Water-resistant mascaras which hold a curl longer are a summer must, as oily skin and allergy-prone eyes spell smudges," says Napoleon Perdis, celeb makeup artist. MC Recommends: L'Ôréal FeatherLash Water-Resistant Mascara.
The heat is on, so opt for eyeshadow bases that control oil on lids. The best nonslip shadows are matte and mineral formulas. Sparkles welcome! MC Recommends: Clinique Touch Base, LORAC Loose Metallic Shadows.
Don't neglect a face primer; it provides a smooth base for whatever goes on next and work to hold the rest of your makeup in place.
"Gel liners last longer than pencils or crayons," swears Napoleon Perdis, celeb makeup artist. But, since they're opaque, limit to top lashlines, particularly during the day. MC Recommends: Napoleon Perdis China Doll Eyeliner in Earth.
To eliminate unsightly shine in seconds, nothing beats blotting papers. "They're cheap, easy, and amazing you just press and go," says New York City makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff. Try Too Faced Re-Fresh Oil Blotting Papers ($12, Sephora).
Tempting as it is to press powder to a shiny face, it only encourages breakouts. Blotting papers and skin-freshening sprays are a far more sanitary way to sop up and freshen up. MC Recommends: StarMaker Pearl Mist, Rodan + Fields Blot Papers with Zincidone.
To keep your face powder from looking cakey, wrap your powder puff around your finger, load it up with powder, and roll it over the skin as if you were painting your house with a roller (as opposed to swiping or dabbing). This will distribute powder in an even layer.
Don't forget waterproof mascara! Even if you don't want to switch from your favorite non-waterproof, try a waterproof version (we like Lumene Star Effect Waterproof Mascara, $8, CVS) on the tips of your lashes over your regular mascara to boost its staying power.
Skin Care
Brighten up dullness with a facial highlighting wand, which contains a lightweight, almost shimmery version of concealer. "Applied in the right places, highlighter can take years off your face," says New York City makeup artist Jessica Liebeskind. To try: Estée Lauder Ideal Light Brush-On Illuminator ($24.50, department stores), Mary Kay Facial Highlighting Pen ($18, marykay.com), or Pantina White Light Highlighting Stick ($6, drugstores).
For dry skin, exfoliating helps remove ashiness or buildup of dead skin cells that leave the complexion looking dull. For women with oily or acne-prone skin, exfoliation removes the excess dead skin that can clog pores and cause acne.
Sex can help ward off leg and thigh cellulite, the primary reason we drag ourselves to the gym in the first place. It won't clear it up completely, but it will zap some of those fatty cells!
Since humidity boosts oil production, oilier skin will benefit from swiping on a toner twice a day. MC Recommends: Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2.
Because you exfoliate less in the summer, it's essential that your cleanser is highly effective. "Ideally, wash twice," advises Annet King, director of training and development for Dermalogica skin care, "first with an oil-based cleanser the most effective way to remove oil then with a gel cleanser. Creamy formulas are too rich for summer." Also advisable: a weekly clay mask to draw out impurities. MC Recommends: T'Zerah facial soap, Dermalogica PreCleanse.
There are a few things you can do to get softer-feeling [summer-ready] skin. First, get yourself a good body scrub to help you slough off dead skin cells in the shower. Follow up with a body moisturizer that contains alpha-hydroxy acids to enhance the exfoliation process.
Researchers say 90 percent of women can ease dry skin within 2 weeks by noshing on one ounce of walnuts daily. Theyre rich in omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats that support the skins lipid layer, helping it hold in more moisture.
To banish unsightly back and chest acne in time for swimsuit season, clean the afflicted areas daily using a body wash containing either salicylic acid, which sloughs off dead skin cells to unplug pores, or benzoyl peroxide, which kills the bacteria that cause inflammation (try Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash or Oxy Body Wash, each $6, drugstore.com). You can also take a 2,000 mg to 4,000 mg daily supplement of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids, which may keep acne at bay thanks to their anti-inflammatory abilities, according to a recent study.
Reduce cellulite and dimples on the cheap with a daily dose of firming cream, which contains ingredients like caffeine and seaweed that are said to tighten and moisturize the skin. Try Nivea Body Skin Firming Moisturizer, $8.99.
Get your complexion ready for summer with an avocado mask. Mash one ripe avocado and mix it with a little bit of lemon juice. Apply this mask to your face and neck for an over-the-counter toner/firmer.

I thought this might be useful as a topic in its own right.
Blythe and Pullip hats fit Tangkou well.
As for clothes, modern Barbie/My Scene clothes usually fit great, as do most Liv doll clothes and Momoko clothes.
Blythe clothes are generally too small and Pullip has smaller boobs so tops can be too tight, though some stuff fits.
As for shoes many (though not all) Liv doll shoes fit Tangkou as do some Sindy shoes, I also found out the other day that some shoes from the smaller fashion doll sized Best Friends Ink (BFC INK) dolls will fit too.
Hope this helps, if anyone has any other suggestions then please post, we'd love to know :)

Small things, done consistently, in strategic places
February 25th, 2013 GTD Times Team - Staff ContributorsCategories | David Allen | Getting Things Done | Inspiration | Latest News
In my experience, the greatest successes don't come from grandiose scenarios of good intentions engendered by temporarily pumped-up motivation. Rather, the most lasting and significant positive effects result from small things, done consistently, in strategic places.

Teardowns of Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pros Reveal No Improvements in Accessibility
iFixit has performed more of its traditional high-quality teardowns on both the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro and new 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, revealing various improvements to the components of both that enhance performance, but also unsurprisingly make both harder to manually repair. One of the more interesting changes relative to the new 13-inch model is that Apple has apparently reversed its decision to move the 13-inch model's battery away from the trackpad as seen in the previous generation of the laptop, instead choosing to glue the entire battery assembly into the case. This design is very similar to the battery of the original 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, which was heavily criticized by iFixit for being extremely difficult and time-consuming to remove without puncturing the cells. 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro As Apple stated during its press event, the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro now uses faster PCIe flash storage, but is still proprietary as seen in the previous generation and does not allow for easy replacement. Other changes to the new version of the laptop include Intel's i5 Haswell processor and Iris Graphics, the inclusion of only one fan as opposed to two in the last generation, a rearranged cabling system, and a slight update to the MagSafe 2 connector. 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro Meanwhile, the new 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro reveals a similar internal layout to the 13-inch model, but includes higher grade components such as Intel's i7 Haswell processor and Iris Pro graphics. The glued-in battery system and the soldered RAM as seen in the previous generation are also still included, which indicates that no improvements have been made to the accessibility of the new model. Overall, the teardowns of both new Retina MacBook Pros otherwise yield few surprises compared to the previous models, and the similar challenges of proprietary pentalobe screws, soldered RAM, an integrated display, and glued-in battery system have led iFixit to award each of the new 13-inch and 15-inch models a repairability score of 1 out of 10. Compared to the teardowns of last year's models, the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro has scored one point lower than the last generation, while the 15-inch MacBook Pro scored the same as the previous model.

It's the exact same thing as them locking people into using the App Store if they want apps - you need to use AppleCare if you want repairs. |

I've ordered one and I do have to say it frustrates me that the battery is glued in as there is no way at all I'll be able to service it myself requiring me to take it to the closest Apple store which is miles away as Apple do not offer shipping for battery replacement in the UK which is unbelievable to me.
Be fun replacing the battery in 3 years, not.

Furthermore, if you look at the size of the batteries in even their cMBPs these days, you'll see why they can't have the same level of accessibility. Not justifying it by any means, but I can definitely see how a user-replaceable battery in the newer Mac notebooks can cause more problems than it solves. |

First off let me start by saying I ordered the ultimate version of the 15 inch rMBP, but I would definitely rather have the old 15 Mbp with same updated internals and a blu ray drive. Yep I said it, blu ray!

/s I'm not sure why they would think in this format anything is going to be accessible. The rest of the ultrathin market doesn't have user serviceable parts either. I guess I get lost on what people want these days. You can have super thin stuff, but it isn't going to be user friendly to repair. The Dell XPS 13 I bought for a friend is the same way. It is the same thickness as this device, and you better believe it doesn't have a single user serviceable part in it. |

don't get me wrong - I think it sucks that it's not easier to update items myself.
But the flip side is this: A glued in battery becomes part of the shell''s structure - contributes to the computer's rigidity. If the battery was not glued, the case would have to be thicker - perhaps significant to support cast in webbing. And the the unit would be heavier for same reason... |

I'm amazed at how small the laptops are getting.
I'm also amazed at how big the laptops still are. If Apple could ditch Intel and design their own "system on a chip" for their laptops and other Macs, the size of these devices could shrivel down and become iPads. The road to self-sufficient Apple, making efficient and compact computers via their own CPU/GPU design, is probably a priority in the upper halls and offices. Can't wait to see what comes in another 5 years, and I'm loving the design of these thin MacBooks.

My guess is the new single fan produces the same amount or more of airflow as the previous dual fans.

I have a 2009 Model which supposedly had a "non-user serviceable battery" and yet I serviced it quite easily by buying the official Apple battery for it, opening my case, whipping out three screws and putting the new battery in and connecting it to the motherboard. It took me literally 5 minutes to do. With these new machines that use Glue there is no way a user is going to attempt it, you could pierce the battery cells or rip through your touchpad cable so this means a trip to local Apple store right? Well I just checked the closest Apple Store to me is 6.8 Miles away according to Apples website so I figure that's not too bad, I check their site for Genius appointments and I get "This store has no appointments available" so I look at the 2nd closest, 11 Miles away. I check their genius appointments "This store has no appoints available". I mean ???? ridiculous. The site doesn't even seem to let you schedule an appointment in the distant future like weeks away from today, it just says there's nothing available with no other options to do anything. I understand they want to make money but the glue just seems totally unnecessary when screws would suffice and make everyone's lives a lot easier, theirs having to replace them, ours getting them replaced etc btw I also checked local dealers who are authorised to do Apple repairs and on the very first site I checked they say they don't do battery replacements on Retina MacBook Pro's because the battery is glued in so it has to be an official Apple Store for this kind of thing or a very reputable authorised dealer willing to take chances I guess.

Interesting... So in the 16GB RAM models they put the other half of the RAM directly underneath the logic board (as appears in previous model). Interesting to know how they double and quadruple the SSD capacity – I assume they use four double-density (i.e. 128GB NAND modules) for the 512GB models but what about the 1TB ones?? Do they squeeze in a separate blade somewhere? Perhaps that's why they ditched a fan in the 13"?

Indian Pudding
Indian pudding is another American favorite descended from medieval British staple food. Hasty pudding, a dish dating back to at least the 16th century, is essentially wheat flour in boiling milk, similar to what we know as cream of wheat. It is cooked at a low heat till it reaches a thicker consistency, rather like oatmeal. As with a number of traditional British foods that made the long trip across the Atlantic, once it arrived on our shores, cooks adopted the local available ingredients and it became something quintessentially New England, the Indian pudding.
Cooks made the swap from wheat flour to cornmeal, utilising a new, widely available grain, and sweetened the dish with molasses (made available through the Triangle Trade) or maple syrup. The typical spice profile found in a number of New England desserts- cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and mace- were added to the pudding. The dish continued to evolve and began appearing in American cookbooks in the late 18th century. The recipe below, which I have redacted and used, is from an 1840 cookbook. "The Practical Farmer, Gardener and Housewife," written by Edward James Hooper. In addition to the baked pudding recipe I have chosen to use, Hooper also offers a boiled variety, hearkening back to the British affinity for boiled puds.
Now wholly associated with New England autumn and Thanksgiving, there was a time in the 1700′s, at the height of the Triangle Trade, when there was an Indian pudding recipe in every American cookbook. As tastes, trade routes, and fashions changed, the dish was embraced by New England and forgotten by most. Perfect for the early days of autumn, when the weather starts to cool and the leaves begin to turn. Best served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a snifter of brandy. Many thanks to Trevor for his indispensable knowledge on the subject of molasses volume.

In Geneva last month, Subaru introduced an exhibit that shows the transmission system of its future sports car that the company has developed together with Toyota. While Toyota has launched the production model of this car called Subaru FT-86, Subaru has yet to get an official name for its version or show an official picture of the car. Meanwhile, Subaru is referring to your sport compact car like the Boxer Sports Car. So what can we learn from the Subaru image produced in Geneva?
First of all, the Subaru sports car might well be somewhat lower than the Toyota FT-86, measuring about 165 inches from front to rear bumper. Furthermore, the car will be very different from the "boy racer" seems inspired by Toyota. According to officials from Subaru, the car will face a completely different style and back, so it's safe to predict that he will be more mature for the future of Toyota, attracting older buyers and according to the company brand image premium.
As for the mechanical components of the car, they should be similar to the Toyota FT-86. Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 1995 cc-flat-4 that will produce 200 hp and 150 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox that will route the engine power to the rear wheels. This will result in the light car goes from zero to 60 mph in about 6 seconds or less. While the Toyota FT-86 is rear-wheel drive, Subaru's version will probably come with all-wheel-drive. Not rule out the introduction of a model STI down the line, with a significant increase in power through forced induction.
As for the other thing we learned from the display of the Subaru, we conclude that the car will come with the same front basic configuration and rear suspension as the Impreza, use a shortened version of the Impreza drive shaft and enter the rear differential Impreza STI's.
The Subaru Boxer sports car will make its debut later this year or early 2012, so do not be surprised to see him at the Tokyo Motor Show this fall. Price should be around $ 25,000.

Species Survival Plan (SSP)
Species Survival Plan (SSP)
The mission of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) Program is to help ensure the survival of threatened or endangered species. Some of the animals within Audubon's care are SSP animals and our organization takes this responsibility very seriously.
What is an SSP?
The Species Survival Plan, or SSP, is a cooperative population management and conservation program for selected species at North American zoos and aquariums. Each SSP manages the breeding of a species to maintain a healthy, self-sustaining captive population, both genetically diverse and demographically stable. SSPs include other conservation activities including research, education, reintroduction, and field projects. Currently, there are 113 SSPs covering 181 species.
How are species selected?
Most SSP species are endangered or threatened in the wild and have the interest of professionals with time to dedicate toward their conservation. Also, SSP species are often "flagship species," well-known animals that arouse strong feelings for their preservation and protection of their habitat.
How does the SSP work?
Each SSP has a species coordinator responsible for managing day-to-day activities. Management committees of experts assist with conservation efforts, including population management, research, education, and reintroduction when feasible. Each institution holding an SSP animal has a representative who attends SSP meetings and coordinates SSP activities at the institution.
The SSP Master Plan
An SSP Master Plan outlines goals for the population by designing a "family tree" of a captive population to achieve maximum genetic diversity and demographic stability. Breeding and management recommendations are made for each animal with consideration of the feasibility of transfers between institutions, as well as maintenance of natural social groups. Often, Master Plans include recommendations not to breed animals to avoid the population outgrowing available holding space.
Studbooks are fundamental to the successful operation of SSPs as each contains the vital records of an entire captive population, including births, deaths, transfers, and lineage. A studbook enables the management group to develop a Master Plan that contains breeding recommendations based on genetics, demographics and species' biology. Studbooks are compiled and updated by "Studbook Keepers" with knowledge of the species and time to assist in its conservation.
Audubon Zoo maintains several studbooks for mammals, reptiles and birds.
Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs)
Taxon Advisory Groups help advance Species Survival Plans by developing recommendations for population management and conservation based on the unique needs of each species. Audubon Zoo participates in 35 TAGs.
Association of Zoos and Aquariums
Audubon Zoo and Audubon Aquarium of the Americas are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Several Audubon curators participate in leadership roles within AZA as well as international programs, including:
- Amur Leopard SSP steering committee
- Board of Directors of International Iguana Foundation

Thread: A/C always blows?
A/C always blows?
I have an issue that I've ignored because I thought it was normal, but the more I think about it, the more it doesn't seem right. I have the manual dual climate control air conditioning system in my truck, and when I have it turned off, it still blows a little through the vents while I'm moving. It isn't "conditioned" air...it's just like the vent, and the faster I go, the harder it blows. Is this normal, or is something not closing off all the way??

Discover APR Reduction UPDATE
[ Edited ]10-05-2012 10:23 PM - edited 10-06-2012 08:54 PM
So I've been working on my credit for the last 3 years and have made great progress! Thank you "My Fico" I applied for Discover last year at the end of July and was approved with a $1500 cl and APR of 20.99%. At the time I applied there was a 12 month 0% promotion as well. This is also the last cc I've applied for and I have been in the garden since. So anyway I've never received an auto cli and I waited till August to call and ask for an APR reduction as I have high utilization and figured they wouldn't do a limit increase. The agent I spoke with said she could NOT reduce my APR w/o pulling my credit report but that she could extend my 0% promotion for another year. I took it! Well got my statement today and the APR was changed to 15.99%, I panicked and thought they didn't honor the 0% so I called. Well the agent said yes I am getting the 0% promotion till next Oct (2013) and that the APR was changed October 1st from 20.99 to 15.99%. Woo Hoo! It may still seem high but its certainly better than 20.99%. I just wanted to give back to my fico by sharing my story! Good luck my fico comrades and there is hope, it just takes time and patience but the results get better eventually.
