Eclipse at the Hyatt Regency
Online Reservations
held a meeting there - worked well - nice ambiance - expensive for eggs and just plain breakfast food - but then it's a hotel restaurant!
Thank you to our server for an excellent dining experience at a Sunday lunch at Eclipse, It was so refreshing to dine in a San Francisco restaurant that was quiet & we could hear each other speak. The food was very good & the service was outstanding. We'll definitely return. Thank you!
I found this restaurant when searching through dine about town listings and I'm glad I chose it. The way the Hyatt Regency was decorated created the perfect ambience for the meal. With hundreds of strung lights hanging from the ceiling it felt as though I was dining out doors. The food was delicious, especially the chocolate molten cake for dessert. The drinks were worth the price, the bar did not skimp on the alcohol. Overall we had a nice evening.
On our vacation, I wanted to re-live my childhood and take my husband to Eclipse. Back in the late '70s, my father used to have conventions at the Hyatt, and some of my best memories are from here. Well, 2013 didn't disappoint. The lobby is as magnificent as I remembered, and Eclipse is truly civilized, dignifed dining. The food was outstanding. I had the Coq a Vin (herbed and seasoned to perfection, warm, earthy and comforting), and my husband had the crab cakes (perfectly airy and flavorful) and the Crab Louie Salad, which he said was very fresh and delicious. Our server was helpful and prompt, and the support staff were conscientious about refilling our water, replacing flatware, etc. An outstanding meal.
Reserved a dinner here way in advance to take a date to from out of town. We got all the way up to the top floor with the rotating restaurant that we THOUGHT we would be spending a romantic evening in, only to be turned away by some snooty man who said that it was for regency club members only and that we werent allowed to be here. When we said we were lost and didnt know where to go, he just kept repeating that we couldnt be there. Finally we found the correct restaurant on our own, which was just in the lobby (and didnt rotate). We had made an hour long trip out there specifically for this special rotating restaurant feature and I felt terrible for letting down my date.
It's odd to have found such an amazing place in the lobby of a hotel - but, it was great. The Hyatt lobby is beautiful and makes for a nice scenery while you eat. The noise level was low, although I'm not sure if that changes depending on what time you go and whether the lobby of the hotel is busy or not. Everyone was extremely pleased with the food - the salads were AMAZING, especially the Crab Salad - I think it's called the Crab Louie. Five of us shared a banana bread pudding, which was also delicious. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice business lunch or somewhere to go with a friend.
Food was good along with the location of the restaurant in a key location of the hotel.
Alacatraz Menu was fantastic! It paired well with the wonderful exhibit they have at the Hyatt featuring Alcatraz and its history. We will definitely be returning to see what other tasty foods you have on your menu...or we may go for Alcatraz again! :)
What a fantastic way to end a day sight-seeing on The Rock...with a fabulous Prison Menu themed menu, served up with the tin prison cups and on tin prison trays.
A friend and I were looking for a place conveniently located near BART. We were worried the prices would be prohibitive considering the location and that it's part of the Hyatt, but we looked up the menu and saw that it's not too bad. Service was prompt and professional. The atmosphere was nice, and the food was very good.
I brought my grandson and his family down from Oroville to this event. We combined it with other SF sites We love it and the Santa was wonderful The only drawback was it was a buffet. With small children and my age, I prefer being waited on but still I would do it again and we had a wonderful time.

A large chunk of people are pretty upset that the PC version of Diablo III requires you to be online when you play, especially since the recent console port let's you play offline. Blizzard has been known to defend the necessity of the online requirement, but now it has gone as far as to say that it was wrong for Diablo II to let players play offline. Ugh.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun posted an interesting interview with Kevin Martens, Diablo III's lead designer, and they talked about the game's online requirement. Martens talked about how upset people were that Diablo II let some players play online, while other characters were offline only. He said that "That was the wrong choice to allow people to play offline, and we still stand by that."

Shelby, Customer Service
We size our collars based on the dog's neck size, not the length of the collar. Therefore, a 24" collar measures from the buckle start to the middle adjustment hole on the collar. This ensures a true fit for your dog's neck and helps the nameplate to sit directly on the back of the dog's neck.
That being said, if the collar is in new condition, we can accept it back for an exchange or return. Please contact customer service at 800-720-8247 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to exchange or return it.

I generally prefer to run UE without dockable tabs enabled. This works fine in most cases, except when I wish to see multiple files simultaneously. Dockable tabs do allow for multiple side-by-side viewing, but I cannot find a way to view different files in an over-under style.
Without dockable tabs turned on, is there a way to view different files (not a split view of the same file) in an over-under style? And even better, in a side-by-side/over-under fashion (4 files in a square)?
If not, I think this would be a good new feature.
Also, I use multiple monitors, it would be great if I could find a way view multiple files over multiple monitors (without the oddity of spanning the main app window across both monitors or running multiple copies of UE).
FYI: Ver 16.10 of UE

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I find Gordon Lightfoot's treatment of the tragedy to be haunting, and always have since I first heard it decades ago. This, I think, is a good video dedication to the lost crew: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_8s2zsNhSM (lyrics) http://home.pacbell.net/chabpyne/lyrics.html I find this to be a particularly inspired lyric from the song: "Does anyone know where the love of God goes When the words turn the minutes to hours" As good a ballad as there is, I think. Anybody have other, thought-provoking ballads that move them? |

I don't know--is "American Pie" a ballad? I'm too young to remember Buddy Holly but I love all references to Dylan as the jester in it, and of course the Beatles tho I'm not a huge Beatles fan. Classic rock is my thing, 60s and 70s--rock, not pop. As for "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" I have to admit I don't like the song all that much (maybe I heard it one too many times when it was popular), but the story it tells IS haunting. And, unfortunately, once I hear it, it gets stuck in my head forever--or when I even think about it, like now. . . Pam |

I love American Pie because I am old enough to remember the day the music died. I know where I was when it was annouced on the radio. I grew up listening to Ballad of Casey Jones and Ballad of Jesse James. Always liked them. Old English Ballads are favorites too I was a died in the wool folkie in the 60's Sir Patrick Spense, Barbara Allen, Modern Ballads The Ballad of Edward Abby by Tom Russell is a real favorite. |

Susan: Alright, another Tom Russell fan, he really does write some good ones and some great songs too. We have a singer here in Texas nanmed Brian Burns who does a lot of Tom's songs and that's how I found him. Brian also does the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and he even sounds like Gordon Lightfoot. On his website he thanks Gordon for his voice hmmm! Anyway I like Brian's version better than Gordon's and like how he reads the names of each of the sailors at the end of the song. As for the song that started the thread, Lightfoot merely wrote lyrics and set it to an old Irish tune, like so many songs in the Civil War were. The song before his that used the tune was a song called Back Home in Derry, which was created from a poem by Bobby Sands an Irish Revolutionary from the early 20th century who ultimately starved himself to death in prison. It is also a ballad about the Irish Rebels of '98 who were sent to Australia on prison ships. |

Pvt., Well, I do like the Beatles, but I have to admit my favorite playlist includes The Hollies (Long Cool Woman), Santana (Black Magic Woman), Thin Lizzy (The Boys Are Back in Town), The Guess Who (No Sugar Tonight), Derek and the Dominos (Layla) and Eric Clapton (Cocaine), not the Beatles. . . If I had to pick a favorite Beatles song, it'd be "Penny Lane" because it never fails to remind me of a trip I took to Manchester, England in my senior year in high school to visit a long-time pen pal there. And now I have "Edmund Fitzgerald" in my head again! Pam |

The Ballad of the Alamo is a great song even if it isn't historically accurate. God Bless John Wayne and Marty Robbins. Speaking of which El Paso is a great ballad too. |

When I traveled across the USA the first time after I retired. I had my cds with me in order of the trip. I played Take it Easy all the way though Winslow Ariz, El Paso in El Paso , Oklahoma Hills in Oklahoma. and Ballad of the Alamo when I entered San Antonio. I played the Battle of New Orleans as I drove around that Battlefield. and so on and so on. Actually I had the Cds on both trips. So you could say I had a soundtrack for my trips across America. Driving though the Mississippi Delta listening to Mississippi John Hurt looking for his cabin which I could not find. I was in Avalon though . David as to Tom Russell I am a big fan. I have all the albums on my ipod . I want the new one that just came out . Everytime I listen to his songs I decide another one is my favorite. I have seen him a couple of times in very small coffee houses. He is good. Susan |

Captain Brien's Seafood & Raw Bar
Online Reservations
We came in yesterday for dinner and we liked it so much, that we are bringing some friends back this weeekend for the show. The server we had was so sweet, and so prompt. It took us a while to order because they have a gigantic selection of seafood! The way they decorated the entire place is really cool too! Unlike any other place ive seen. I loved it, can't wait to go back
Def one of my favs on the island! If you haven't tried it you have to asap and be sure to not skip the dessert, one of the best key lime pies I've ever eaten =]
Really good food, service etc. It is also just a fun place in general, if you have the time I would also recommend catching a show, it makes for a fun night out with friends.
Yum! Definitely stop in if you have time! Totally worth a trip to the island =]
Great joint, definitely stop by and grab a drink. Even the shows are funny! We went to see Bryan Callen, he was hilarious and it was a fun night out with friends, laughs, and good food!
Had so much fun at this place! It has always been at the top of our list to eat so we decided to give a comedy show a try. Great idea on our part, we got to see the funny Bryan Callen while we ate our awesome food. The servers did such a great job especially considering the amount of people and the show going on in the process of their work. We were pleasantly surprised and will go back for another show and another great date night out.
Such a refreshing change of pace. Accidentally showed up a half hour before our reservations and they had no problem seating us and getting us set up. They were really sweet about it all. Service was great, sat outside and enjoyed good food, satisfying drinks and great company.
It was such a beautiful Florida day we decided to celebrate with a pina colada, decided to head to Capt. Briens. I've eaten there before but never gone there for just drinks. It definitely hit the spot. We could not pass up some guilty pleasure appetizers either of course, we had some onion rings and fried zucchini, both of which were delicious and crispy. Hoping to head back for a happy hour soon.
One of my all time favorite places on the island. We frequent this joint and always have such a good time, be it heading in for a few drinks, dinner or a show!
Went to the comedy show last night, had a blast!!! The show was lots of fun, had a good dinner and got some good laughs. We went back this afternoon for a little nosh and a drink and had quite a ball.
We stopped by for lunch and although the inside decor looked pretty neat, we decided to sit outside because of the beautiful weather. Very nice waitress with knowledge of the menu. We started with two dozen blue point oysters, and I really could of just had raw seafood for lunch, they were so good! I got the gulf coast chop salad with shrimp, and I'd go back for it again. My husband got the grouper sandwich and was very happy. We had a table of 6 and everyone left happy, which is always a rare but good occurrence. we will definitely be back next time we spend the day in Marco
Captain Brien's was a great find for my family and I. They have an extensive drink menu and the food was better than I expected. It has a spacious inside and ample outdoor dining space. Our waiter was not only incredibly polite and diligent but also adorable. I feel like our food took less than 10 minutes to come out and that included 3 entrees. There is a stage in there as well as it doubles as a comedy club. The hostess told me some pretty big names come here. I'll definitely be coming back to see a show soon-it's only about 30 min from Naples. Anyway, everyone should come here when on Marco! It's awesome!
We had a great time here. I cannot find good seafood just anywhere, the server recommended a few dishes and i picked the grouper, usually grouper is not as fresh as i may want it to be but boy was this grouper fresh. I got it blackened and my boyfriend got it coconut style. holy cow what a great dish. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
Captain Brien's was a fun place for a group dinner. The grouper was terrific and a favorite according to the waiter. All in our group thought the food was great.
Captain Brien's exceeded my expectations. From first looks, I figured this would be another "everything tastes the same and is frozen" sort of place. We were nicely greeted by one of two managers right off the bat. Our server was excellent, checking in on us the whole night and staying on top of refills and clearing plates. The food was fresh and flavorful. We had oysters, two of the combo plates, and a fresh fish dinner. Good portion size and good quality of food. We took home a few desserts, key lime pie and coconut cake. Both were excellent. If I had to be picky, my complaint would be the use of fake whip cream. Otherwise, good flavor and both moist and yummy. Would not hesitate to come back!
The fish was very fresh. We sat outside. There is something very uncomfortable about the ambience inside. It smells too fishy and stale.
We had supper along with a comedy show. What a great combination !! Food is very good !!!
We went there for the comedy club and wasn't sure what to expect. Excellent food with so many choices!!! So glad we went!
We showed up for an 8:00PM reservartion on a Saturday night and was told that inside seating was avbailable only if you paid for the comedy show $48.00/couple. Upon expressing my displeasure of this we were approached by a gentlemen by the name of JJ who said he was the owner. JJ listened to me and personally found us a table in side at N/C where we enjoyed specialty martinis and great seafood. Thanks JJ for making a good businesss decisicion and keeping this customer happy.
Great food, great service and the entertainment was top notch.

Euro sign
The euro sign is the currency sign used for the euro, the official currency of the Eurozone in the European Union (EU). The design was presented to the public by the European Commission on 12 December 1996. The international three-letter code (according to ISO standard ISO 4217) for the euro is EUR. In Unicode it is encoded at U+20AC € euro sign (HTML: €
). In English, the sign precedes the value. In some styleguides, but not others, the euro sign is unspaced.
The euro currency sign was designed to be similar in structure to the old sign for the European Currency Unit, ₠. There were originally thirty-two proposals; these were reduced to ten candidates. These ten were put to a public survey. After the survey had narrowed the original ten proposals down to two, it was up to the European Commission to choose the final design. The other designs that were considered are not available for the public to view, nor is any information regarding the designers available for public query. The European Commission considers the process of designing to have been internal and keeps these records secret. The eventual winner was a design created by a team of four experts whose identities have not been revealed. It is assumed that the Belgian graphic designer Alain Billiet was the winner and thus the designer of the euro sign.[2]
Inspiration for the € symbol itself came from the Greek epsilon (ϵ) – a reference to the cradle of European civilization – and the first letter of the word Europe, crossed by two parallel lines to 'certify' the stability of the euro.
The official story of the design history of the euro sign is disputed by Arthur Eisenmenger, a former chief graphic designer for the European Economic Community, who claims he had the idea prior to the European Commission.[4]
The European Commission specified a euro logo with exact proportions and colours (PMS Yellow foreground, PMS Reflex Blue background[3]), for use in public-relations material related to the euro introduction. While the Commission intended the logo to be a prescribed glyph shape, typographers made it clear that they intended to design their own variants instead.[5]
The guitar brand Epiphone has a logo that is very similar to the euro-sign.
Use on computers[edit]
Generating the euro sign using a computer depends on the operating system and national conventions. Some mobile phone companies issued an interim software update for their special SMS character set, replacing the less-frequent Japanese yen sign with the euro sign. Later mobile phones have both currency signs.
The euro is represented in the Unicode character set with the character name EURO SIGN and the code position U+20AC (decimal 8364) as well as in updated versions of the traditional Latin character set encodings.[6][7] In HTML, the € entity can also be used. The HTML entity was only introduced with HTML 4.0, shortly after the introduction of the euro, and many browsers were unable to render it. The alternative was to use € instead, with 128 (80 hexadecimal) being the code position of the euro sign in most Windows 125x encodings.
An implicit character encoding, along with the fact that the code position of the euro sign is different in common encoding schemes, led to many problems displaying the euro sign in computer applications. While displaying the euro sign is no problem as long as only one system is used (provided an up-to-date font with the proper glyph is available), mixed setups often produced errors. One example is a content management system where articles are stored in a database using a different character set than the editor's computer. Another is legacy software which could only handle older encodings such as ISO 8859-1 that contained no euro sign at all. In such situations, character set conversions had to be made, often introducing conversion errors such as a question mark (?) being displayed instead of a euro sign.
Care has been taken to avoid replacing an existing obsolete currency sign with the euro sign. That could create different currency signs for sender and receiver in e-mails or web sites, with confusions about business agreements as a result.
Entry methods[edit]
Depending on keyboard layout and the operating system, the symbol can be entered as:
- AltGr+4 (UK)
- AltGr+5 (US)
- ^ Ctrl+⎇ Alt+4 (UK)
- ^ Ctrl+⎇ Alt+5 (US)
- ^ Ctrl+⎇ Alt+e in Microsoft Word in United States layout
- ⎇ Alt+0128 in Microsoft Windows
On the Mac OS operating system, a variety of key combinations are used depending on the keyboard layout, for example:
- ⌥ Option+2 in British layout
- ⌥ Option+⇧ Shift+2 in United States layout
- ⌥ Option+$ in French layout[8]

To make the best Bridgedale Socks, they talk to the best people!
Regardless of their chosen sport, there's one thing that all successful sportspeople have in common. To get to the top, they push themselves to the absolute limit. And…they do exactly the same to the equipment they use and the clothing they wear. They ask us for socks that will enhance their performance. Wool socks made of highly specialized knitted materials. Certain areas that need to be carefully padded with Bridgedale's ShockZone protection. Other zones have to be constructed to allow moisture to escape. The design and fit of the hiking sock has to complement their footwear perfectly. And, they have to last! Bridgedale socks offers the best guarantee in the business. 3 years! This is not a warrantee against defects. Bridgedale guarantees that these socks are durable, comfortable, and will maintain their fit. In fact, you'll lose 'em before they wear out. Your only worry is the sock monster. Get out there with confidence. These hiking socks will stay in place, keep your feet dry and comfortable, and last.
Some manufactures swear by wool - for its warmth, while others put their faith in synthetics - for their durability and moisture control properties. At Bridgedale they've discovered that a combination of both is required. That's why they use a careful blend of wool yarns to produce WoolFusion - a unique material that combines thermal control with a highly effective Moisture Management System . What's more they will use a variety of performance yarns depending on where and how the sock will be used. Whether you are going to the North Pole or the local gym, your socks will perform perfectly.
WoolFusion - For Active Breathability:
Bridgedale's WoolFusion technology uses the highest quality natural yarns and blends them with a twist of the most technical synthetic fibers.
MMS technology transfers moisture from the skin via conductive sock yarns to the outer absorbing yarns from where it can evaporate - leaving the skin warm, dry, blister free and comfortable.
Before adding the technical yarns, and as part of the WoolFusion concept, Bridgedale reinforces each and every strand of wool with nylon. The result is one of the most comfortable and durable yarns. These hiking socks are so durable that they have a 3-year guarantee.
In order to produce the very best quality wool socks there's a vital process that must be undertaken. It's called fusion. This careful folding, blending and wrapping of yarns gives the material a dual, triple or multiaction performance (permeability, moisture transfer, absorption and durability). It makes a hiking sock perform better, as well as look and feel better. No other manufacturer will talk to you about the fusion of fibers since, to the best of their knowledge, no one other than Bridgedale actually uses this process. And why not? Because it's lengthy and therefore expensive. In fact, with some yarns it can take about 14 hours just to fold one cone. So, why do we do it when other manufactures don't bother? The answer is simple. It's the difference between being good and being the best. And it's because, when our customer are up against it, they need to know that their gear won't let them down.
You've probably realized by now that Bridgedale spends so much time and effort creating the perfect sock (bordering on obsession), that they wouldn't want to put their foot in it by sending out even one pair that was substandard. So naturally they use only the highest quality equipment and have the strictest quality control procedures - constantly being applied at every stage of the product process.
Bridgedale use only state-of-the-art computer-driven knitting machines. They finish their wool socks with the most comfortable at toe seams, which means they won't rub or cause blisters. Don't be surprised if you haven't noticed them - your not supposed to.
For added comfort, all their socks are preshrunk and softened. Then they are steamed to shape. This softens them even more. Then, finally, they're individually quality checked. Not once, but twice - before being carefully hand packed. Even with all these checks in place they get the odd pair returned. One in every ten thousand pairs to be precise. But don't worry, they're working on it.
At Bridgedale they have to ensure that every sock design is ideally suited to each activity, climate and footwear. For this reason, Bridgedale call upon test teams all over the world, from their Cross Country Ski Team in Scandanavia, to their Adventure Racing Team in New Zealand. Their input is a crucial factor before a new Bridgedale style is launched in the market.
The development of Gore Tex lined footwear has brought a whole new level of comfort to many walkers and outdoor sportspeople. However, the performance of all footwear is influenced by the sock used. For this reason, Gore Tex has tested Bridgedale in relation to key performance characteristics such as wicking and moisture management. The Bridgedale styles recommended were found to optimize the breathability and comfort of Gore Tex lined footwear.
SATRA, the world's largest independent footwear technology center, undertook important testing of four brands of technical performance hiking socks. One important consideration in these tests was the socks' ability to deal with moisture , 'The sock is next to the skin and therefore makes an important contribution in terms of moving moisture away from the skin. This is done by permeation, wicking and absorption.'
All four styles were found to be highly permeable. However, there were some important differences with regard to the ability of the sock to wick (transport) moisture away from the skin and the ability to absorb moisture. The results show high wicking strengths on the part of 'all synthetic' designs and high absorption on the part of 'all wool' designs. However, at Bridgedale, we believe the tests validated Bridgedale's ability to keep feet both dry and comfortable through its trademarked processes of MMS and WoolFusion. The results show that Bridgedale is making a significant effort at both wicking and absorption.
In the test, testers wore four different styles of hiking socks in a controlled climate environment of -20c. The testers were both active and inactive at this temperature. The perceived warmth of each design of sock is as detailed on the warmth-rating graph. The warmth-rating test scores the Bridgedale Summit Sock as the warmest.
A further important consideration of the test was the level of comfort as perceived by the testers at -20c. In this regard, the following factors were scored for each brand:
All of these Bridgedale Sock properties contribute to give the "Comfort Index". The results are as detailed on the Comfort Index Rating graph.

Season three of Scrubs is distinguished by the spectacular fashion makeover undertaken by sexy Dr. Elliott Reid (Sarah Chalke), who, after concluding that she has had nothing but bad luck since signing on at Sacred Heart Hospital, figures she has nothing to lose by changing her appearance. Meanwhile, J.D.'s chronic jealousy of his fellow physicians figures into a story arc featuring Scott Foley as Elliott's old flame Sean Kelly (whom she dated briefly in season one). Also, Turk and nurse Carla's (Judy Reyes) wedding planning makes it difficult for them to work together; bombastic Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) is willing to sell his soul to be residency director; J.D. begins a relationship with Danni (Tara Reid), the sister of his former fling (and Dr. Cox's former wife) Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller); and Jordan's brother Ben Sullivan (Brendan Fraser), introduced during season one, makes a brief return to the series. Season-three guest stars include Spin City veterans Michael J. Fox, Barry Bostwick, Brady Bunch alumnus Maureen McCormick, and Dayna Devon, co-host of the TV magazine show Extra, whose one-line bit was later expanded into a George Plimpton-like "special feature" on Devon's own series. Sadly, John Ritter passed away just before making his third appearance as J.D.'s father. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I have been slowly pursuing a greater knowledge of Islam, as I am afraid of the reaction of family and friends. I know this should not be a reason to not devote my life to Allah, but I can't help but feel nervous. As all of my family comes from a Christian background. I don't feel like I'm not giving my heart and soul to Allah, but I also know that I should not be nervous to share my beliefs with friends and family. Has anyone ever felt the same way I do? Please, any advice or guidance would be overly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

If we going to use the hard line approach of old, that is - either this or that style than it would be unworkable in this day of age. But than again you need to know where you stand otherwise it would be difficult to explain to their queries. Knowledge with good deeds is the utmost weapon to create bond, or to strengthen it.
I wish you nothing but the best outcome. Salaam. The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend. (41:34) |

if U give shahadah that Allah is one and prophet Muhammad is his last messenger,there is no need to tell others,its the matter between U and Allah,moreover as U grow ur knowledge of Islam,Allah will help U,as Allah mentions in Surah Al Ankaboot ch 29 v 69-,if U strive in Allah's way Allah will open pathways for U.l know,it is difficult for U at this time,but slowly and steadily make efforts,and read Qur'an,this will increase ur confidence,as rightly said-Qur'an is the only solution to mankind.

Ron English says EMU signed 'the best cornerback at Cass Tech' and Michigan signed the other
College football coaches are known for spending National Signing Day heaping loads of praise on their newest signees.
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Eastern Michigan head coach Ron English, though, may have gone so far as to say he got the better of his former employer, Michigan.
In discussing his 2013 signing class, English described cornerback recruit Daquan Pace as "the best cornerback at Cass Tech."
Cass Tech's other starting cornerback last season: Jourdan Lewis, signed with Michigan on Monday.
English didn't mention Lewis or Michigan by name, and expanded to say that Pace "wasn't the biggest and he wasn't the fastest," but reiterated that "we thought he played the best."
Talking specifically about the cornerback position, the two players' season stats support English. Pace had 17 unassisted tackles and four interceptions as a senior, while Lewis had one pick and six unassisted tackles. As a junior, Lewis had seven interceptions.
But both players also play offense, and there Lewis had 751 receiving yards and and six touchdowns, while Pace had 548 receiving yards and eight scores. Lewis also had 742 return yards.
Lewis is ranked the ninth-best cornerback in the country by Scout, and a four-star recruit. Pace is a two-star recruit and the 144th-best cornerback on Scout's list.
English was at Michigan from 2003-07, and became EMU's coach in 2009.

Document ID: 10288
Updated: Sep 09, 2005
Back-to-Back Setup
The Cisco 2524-2525 can be used in back-to-back configurations with the T1 CSU/DSU and the four-wire 56k CSU/DSU using a cross-over cable between the CSU/DSUs. The two-Wire CSU/DSU cannot be configured for back-to-back operation in this manner. Back-to-back configuration of the 4-wire CSU/DSU has the following restrictions:
You cannot use a clock rate of auto on either side of the back-to-back setup
You cannot use a clock rate of 64 .
You cannot use switched-56 operation .
Before You Begin
For more information on document conventions, see the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
There are no specific prerequisites for this document.
Constructing a Cross-Over Cable
The T1 CSU/DSU has a different pinout than the four-wire 56k CSU/DSU. The connector for the T1 CSU/DSU is an RJ-48C. The connector for the four-wire 56k CSU/DSU is an RJ-48S. Both connectors are compatible with RJ-45 plugs.
T1 CSU/DSU Cross-Over Pinout
From RJ 48C Pin | To RJ-48C Pin |
1 | 4 |
2 | 5 |
4 | 1 |
5 | 2 |
56k CSU/DSU Cross-Over Pinout
From RJ 48S Pin | To RJ-48S Pin |
1 | 7 |
2 | 8 |
7 | 1 |
8 | 2 |
Tip: You can actually use a Cisco rolled RJ-45 cable (CAB-500RJ=) as a four-wire 56k cross-over cable. Even though the polarity is wrong, the bi-polar signal will be interpreted correctly by the CSU/DSU.
Tip: Make sure you count the RJ-45 pins as shown in the illustration below:
T1 CSU/DSU Configuration
Set one CSU/DSU to clock source internal, and the other CSU/DSU to clock source line. The linecode, framing, data-coding, and timeslots must be set the same on both CSU/DSUs.
Four-Wire 56k CSU/DSU Configuration
Set one CSU/DSU to clock source internal, and the other CSU/DSU to clock source line. On the CSU/DSU with internal clock, the clock rate must not be auto. Both CSU/DSUs must be set for service-module 56k network-type dds.

Don Cherry defends crybaby
Believe it or not, I like Don Cherry. He is like a Bible, you can find anything appropriate for your occasion.
Coach's Corner, with Don Cherry and Ron MacLean for Saturday, February 28.
This time he defends his fellow countryman Crosby. Thanks for the effort to scare Ovechkin and Caps fans, Mr. Cherry. Some big defenseman waiting around the corner for Ovechkin, how scary! You are pathetic just saying this, Mr. Cherry. I can tell you this, two or three big d-men are waiting for crybaby right now, how's that?
Ovechkin is bigger than you, Mr. Cherry. He is bigger than anybody else before him. He will win the Olympics in Vancouver and this is what is behind Cherry's rants. Cherry is scared. And he should be. Ovie is coming after you. And no Henderson will help you this time.
You know, I've been worried for Ovie for quite some time, but then I realized this guy can take care of himself. "Count on God, but take care of yourself," that's what the old Russian proverb says. And Ovie does just like that.
Eff you, Don, and see you next time.

You know, the first thing you think when you see something like this is something along the lines of "Holy Free DLC, Batman!" but when you think about it a little more, it's a really great opportunity. It's great to have a wealth of songs at your disposal, but the most exciting part is getting involved in the creation process. Playing the songs may be a lot of fun, but being able to provide feedback on the songs in order to make them even better sounds so cool to me that I can't help jump at the chance!
Another part of getting involved in the RBN Peer Review system is the exposure to all different kinds of music. It's a credit to Harmonix how eye-opening just a quick game of Rock Band 2 can be to someone with musical reservations. After downloading over 400 songs in DLC, I've found myself enjoying songs I'd never even considered listening to through the game, and it's conditioned me to always be on the lookout for interesting groups or artists that I may not have been open to before. Not only is the RBN Peer Review system twice as good for finding new bands, it's glorious to someone like me who's musical reservations have been completely broken down entirely. I'm excited to play any song!
I cut my teeth on Guitar Hero II and have been playing expert on all instruments since the first Rock Band, but that's not as important as the fact that I play about 10-15 hours a week with my family and friends, who are non-expert players. Now, I'd venture a guess that a lot of people active on the forums and excited for this opportunity are dedicated, expert-level players. Heck, I'm one myself! But one thing I've seen stressed throughout the RBN documentation is that starting from Expert and working down, while necessary, is a difficult task, and is harder to get feedback for. While I play at expert, my family works on all different difficulties- hard drums here, medium vocals there, easy guitar, etc. In volunteering for the RBN Peer Review, I would be able to provide feedback on all different skill levels from the engaged perspective of someone comfortable at each level and not, say, jaded by playing on a difficulty that's "too easy." I spend most of the time that I'm rocking with these guys, so dedication is not an issue- they're as into the game as I am!
I've got all the qualifications- the US Live Gold membership, and the PC. Thanks so much for putting this call out! It seems like a great way to get feedback.
Edit: It can't hurt to clarify that I'm over 18. I figured I would get that out of the way.

State Bar of Texas Annual Report 2011 - 2012
September 1, 2012
It is my pleasure to present to the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors the 2011–12 State Bar of Texas Annual Report.
State Bar of Texas members are not just lawyers; they are also citizens, volunteers, educators, protectors, and stewards. Time and again, Texas lawyers give their expertise as volunteers in their communities and schools, taking pro bono cases to help low-income families, or sharing their knowledge at a continuing legal education course.
Our duty as administrators of the State Bar of Texas is to ensure our members have the resources and services they need to succeed in their practices, whether as sole practitioners, in-house counsels, legal aid attorneys, large firm practitioners, or nonpracticing members of the business community.
This year's Annual Report reflects the many facets of the State Bar by sharing the stories of Texas lawyers and members of the public who have benefited from a State Bar program or service. We also feature Texas lawyers who have gone the extra mile to help the public or their colleagues.
I am grateful for the hard work and dedication of the State Bar's officers, directors, volunteers, and staff. They continue to work together to strengthen the legal profession in Texas and to provide careful stewardship of the State Bar's resources while providing outstanding programs and services to all Texans.
Michelle Hunter
Executive Director

PICTURE THIS Do you like to dig in the dirt, searching for buried treasures? Are you fascinated by ancient relics and artifacts, and the stories these objects can tell us about cultures that vanished long ago? You might enjoy becoming an archaeologist. Archaeologists are scientists who study the artifacts of past cultures, such as the pyramids, tombs, and mummies of ancient Egypt, or the cave drawings of the Paleolithic era. Each new discovery gives archaeologists additional clues about ancient peoples and their art and culture. One of the tasks of an archaeologist is to document, date, and preserve each artifact carefully for further study. Seeing and learning about the artifacts of an ancient culture enables us to imagine the lives and values of its people. Get ready to take a trip back in time!

I love digital art media and am looking for a program to use for drawing/painting digitally. Originally, I had looked at Adobe Photoshop but the newest versions (~ $600) are not in my budget and it seems difficult to get hands on an authentic older version. For the past year or two I have been using Paint Tool Sai, but I'm not quite sure if it's the best program out there for me. Therefore, I'm checking out some others.
It wouldn't be for personal use (nothing commercial) and maybe for some portfolio pieces (i'm applying to art school for 2013).
So far I've looked at:
Corel Painter 12 ($300)
Artrage Studio ($20)
All opinions are welcome,

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
The first wind plants were constructed in Lithuania in 2004. Installed capacity of 0.9 MW generated output of 1.2 GWh during the year.
The aggregated planned capacity of wind power plants to be constructed by 2010 is about 200 MW. The Lithuanian Government approved regulation No 1474, 'Procedure for the Promotion of Purchasing of Electricity Generated from Renewable and Waste Energy Sources' on 5 December 2001. This regulation promotes wind generation, with a feed-in tariff (€ 0.0637/kWh) being applied to the purchase of electricity generated by wind power plants.

Just as a storm prevented me from creating this OC sooner, another is beginning to brew in the world, and with its black clouds do darker things emerge from the night to sate there savage hungers. This is only the beginning the aceint texts say for in the day the sun will dim and the night shall rule all that it covers, the weak will have power over the strong, the poets will stop singing and instead take up the sword for it is in these dark times that two things are apparent.

"When income is taxed, it becomes a discouragement to continue to not only work hard, but excel and succeed if more and more is taken from you." -- False. For most people, money is an incentive only up to the point where their basic needs are met. After that, it actually becomes a disincentive.
"Taxation should be based on consumption. Everyone, at the exact same rate." -- A terrible idea when stated this way. And though you go on to acknowledge that necessities should not be taxed at the same rate as luxuries, the "Fair Tax" proposal does not actually address this. It is "progressive" only at one break point, as if there were only two social strata, which is of course not the case.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rosie12 Shoe was scratch and dented
The inside lining of the shoe wasn't proper lined under the sole so a bit of fabric stick out and made it very painful to wear. Also the outside of the shoes had a major dent and some minor scratches. The product was also shipped by US Postal instead of home delivery, this required me to drive to a postal office to get my package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ProfessorM Comfy, Attractive Wedges
I ordered these shoes in dust storm, size 7. Though shoes (especially at TB) are often wide for my narrow feet, these fit nearly perfectly. They are my new go-to work shoes. Remarkably comfortable, even when standing and walking all day, as I often do. The golden logo at the toe is classy, not tacky. I've received many compliments on their appearance. I only wish they were still available in more colors!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jan250 Size fits
I'm a avg size 6 in all she's and size 6 fits for the Carolina wedge which is surprising because I had to go a half size up 6 1/2 for the Carolina ballet flats but this wedge fits great. Only slight issue is the elastic back rubs a bit against my heel but I think it will stretch. Other than that theses shoes are very comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 0404barb Most comfortable shoe I have ever worn
The shoes shipped immediately and I was blown away at the comfort...they really are THE most comfortable shoes I have ever worn...these are the 1st but definitely not the last pair of TBs I'll own!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SydneyLady True to Size
As everyone knows, it's really hard to order TB shoes online as the sizing is never consistent. I wear 9 in the Miller sandal and Aaden pumps, but I read so many reviews on these prior to purchase, so I went for my normal size of 8.5, and they fit perfectly.
These are very light and for me, they are super comfortable. Shoe fit and comfort is really going to be an individual thing - depending on your own feet. I have narrow, flat feet and these are great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Chris6 Super Cute! Could be higher quality
These wedges are incredibly cute and fit true to size and are super comfortable!
The problem is that the inside lining by the toes came unglued very quickly, within one wear, and it's uncomfortable between the toes. I'm pretty sad about it.

You may not know that many popular restaurants have a secret menu that you won't find on Yelp, Foursquare or Zagat. In fact people who are "in the know" are so guarded about these secret dishes that they refuse to pin or tweet about them. But because I like you and I want you to look cool when ordering out, I'm sharing these secrets. Welcome to my "circle of trust" and Bon Appétit!
Taco Bell will make you anything that you can dream up, as long as they have the ingredients. This restaurant does have a secret ingredient, which is "Green Chili Sauce." I can tell you first hand that it is excellent.
Most people have heard about the secret menu at In-N-Out but do you actually know what "Animal Style" means? Animal style means your burger will consist of a mustard-cooked beef patty, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, extra spread and grilled onions. An Animal Style burger tastes great but I will warn you , it is messy. Grab napkins.
B . J. (before Jared) Subway was a regular sandwich chain (restaurant). One of their most popular items was a "Pizza Sub" which consists of nine slices of pepperoni, monstrous amounts of cheese and doused with marinara sauce. You will not find the Pizza Sub on the menu, but most locations will still make it for you.
Jamba Juice is known for its healthy smoothies, has a "dark side" that caters to your sweet tooth. I can only tell you that my son has had the "Gummy Bear" and the "Fruity Pebbles" and of the two, he prefers the" Fruity Pebbles". However the sweet offerings do not stop there; the" Push up Pop" and "Strawberry Shortcake" also sound tempting.
Even the golden arches offer an extensive secret menu. The "Poor Man's Big Mac" (thus named because it only costs $1) is a double cheeseburger with lettuce and Big Mac sauce. Ask for onions and lettuce, which are always free and "voilà", you have for yourself the "Poor Man's Big Mac". The most inventive secret menu item at the restaurant has to be the "Land, Sea and Air Burger," which includes; one beef patty, one McChicken patty and Filet-O-Fish all sandwiched between a single bun. McDonalds arguably has the best french fries on the planet but they can be better when you ask for the Big Mac secret sauce for the ultimate in french fry dipping.
Starbucks secret menu items are tempting concoctions that when ordered will be sure to impress your friends. The "Cake Batter Frap" tastes just like it sounds. If you want to live on the edge, then order a "Green Eye" which includes three shots of espresso with regular drip coffee. Running a little short on cash but still need a caffeine boost? Then order a "Short Drink" which is smaller than a tall and less expensive.
I hope that I achieved my mission . . . "To Make You Look Cooler Than Your Friends at Restaurants"
Please share any secret restaurant menu items that should be added to this list!

A few weeks ago, I was paid a really nice compliment by a client – while chatting he said "we use you for HR because you're always pragmatic and take into account our business needs". However, it made me wonder why he thought this was unusual, and why HR people are so often seen as inflexible and unhelpful.
Three reasons occur to me:
Too many HR people are risk-averse, irrespective of the culture of the organisation they work in. A fear of employment law and getting things "wrong" leads them to be over-cautious in their approach, often to the frustration of line and senior managers who see HR as a brake on business development.
Secondly, there is a temptation to hide behind policies and procedures (and to create procedures where they aren't needed). As a result "computer says no" becomes a default response to a managerial request that is slightly out of the ordinary.
Finally, there is often an attempt to use inappropriate HR models that don't fit the context or setting of the organisation. Ulrich's Business Partner model, for example, frequently fails because of the way it is imposed in organisations that aren't ready for it, not because of the model itself.
It makes me think that HR should make more use of Blanchard and Hershey's Situational Leadership model – our advice and decisions should take into account the same factors they advise managers and leaders to, namely:
One of the pleasures of working with smaller organisations is that they are less rule-bound and more inclined to be flexible in their response to situations. Maybe it's time for the HR profession to ditch the procedures, precedents and an almost obsessive desire for "consistency" and start being a bit more practical about the situations we face.

The Rise of Alternative Social Networks
Paul Chaney | October 8, 2012
Twitter recently reined in its API (Application Programming Interface), effectively cutting off access to its stream by other sites and apps, LinkedIn and Instagram being two of the most notable. The move is financially motivated – Twitter needs to build a solid advertising revenue base, which can only be done if people actually go to Twitter.
In the process, Twitter also managed to p*ss off developers, who, in turn, have revolted by starting a "movement" of advertising-free social networks and related apps, chief among them App.net.
This shift toward alternative social networks is no where better explained than by Jim Morrison (no, not the dead rocker…long may he live!), but a developer based in the UK. In his blog post "app.net will change social networking forever," Morrison asserts that Twitter may be biting the hand that feeds it and, as a result, "may have actually precipitated its own decline" by frightening developers into supporting the competition.
Alternative Networks/Apps Driven by Open API
The marketer in me is platform agnostic. I recommend that clients use whichever social network will benefit them. Traditionally, that's been the big three – Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn – but now we can add Pinterest and Google+ to the mix.
However, the geek in me is excited about something new, reactionary, and maybe even a little bit revolutionary, which is driven by a philosophical difference that expresses itself in two ways: put the needs of the user first, and have an open API.
That's been part of the reason Google+ hasn't taken off as well as it could. It's API is restrictive, and only one way. If I correctly understand the dynamic (keep in mind I'm not a programmer), it's an attempt to control the flow of information so that it is inbound only, and that's what Twitter is now trying to do.
Alternative Funding Approach
The need to make money either to enable further development and/or to show a profit is partly responsible for this "techtonic" shift, and there are primarily five ways in which companies do so:
- Advertising – This is the most commonly accepted model, though both Facebook and Twitter have received no small amount of push back over the years for choosing it.
- Subscriptions – This is the model chosen by App.net and others. A similar model – "freemium" – also fits in this category.
- Donations – Think Wikipedia.
- Venture capital – This is extremely popular among startups. You spend OPM (other people's money) without having to worry about how you're going to pay it back, or without the hassle of coming up with a revenue model. (Ok, I'm being facetious, but you catch my drift. I realize VCs don't look at it that way.)
- IPO – Hasn't worked out well for Facebook or Zynga, but has for LinkedIn.
Of course, the major social networks are primarily funded by advertising: 84% of Facebook revenue comes from ads; most of LinkedIn's revenue is ad related, though a healthy portion comes from recruitment options and subscriptions; Twitter's ad revenue is expected to exceed $1 billion on 2014.
Even though they don't fit as well within a social network paradigm, ads are easier to implement and keeps services free in the hope that massive numbers of users can be attained. (Then you figure out how to make money off all the acquired data. Sound familiar?)
The trade off with advertising (and going public) is that you are forced to please advertisers and shareholders, which means that less concern gets paid to the actual users.
So, the funding strategy chosen by App.net, Buffer and others is to charge for use (or at least use a freemium approach). That keeps the sites beholden to their users and no one else.
I encourage you to take a few minutes to read Morrison's insightful post. I'll conclude this one with another of his remarks that sizes up the current state of affairs pretty well:
"App.net may never make it to Twitter or Facebook's scale. It may not even last the night. But what it has already done is to shift Twitter's position in the market to 'just another message delivery platform' – and one that, I predict, will soon be one of a great many."

More eyes than ever are watching the development of this game (even though there is scant little to watch at the moment). And this is why.

Skills that Thrill
For physical comedian and circus performer Brent McCoy, it was a no-brainer to call his act The Real McCoy Show. Good thing he has the confidence and ability to back up that name. Growing up on a dairy farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, McCoy developed an affinity for juggling and entertaining. Cutting his teeth as a teacher at Circus Smirkus, he went on to earn a degree in painting, but eventually returned to his first passion. He engages the audience dressed as a construction worker and is equally as comfortable juggling parking cones as he is knives and flaming sticks.

If anyone have such a picture or can describe how it should go. Is there any bearings or springs inside, for the speedometer drive? Anyone who has a clue? Quick answers a really appreciatet now, as i am under the car, and are searching my spare parts for all the pieces (It is quite hard when you don't know)

I got it working now, was really easy.
But the speedometer is screaming, itsounds more at higher speeds. I dont know what the problem could be, but i want to fix it. Anyone that knows what couldnbe causing the screaming noise? I dont really know how the speedometer works, but i am not that bad at reasemblig things i have taken apart, and see how things work. But i do not want to disasemble a original speedometer without knowing what i will find inside, so i dont break something i have searched so long for, and is hard to find. -
Take the cable loose from the speedometer head an drop some light oil down into the cable housing, lube well and then see for sure if the noise is coming from the head and not the cable.
The cable is well lubed. I had it out from the car while troubleshooting, and lubed the wire the same time.
The noise is from the gauge. -
We'll I haven't worked on that year, but looking at a 37 speedo assembly out of the PU , I would pull the gauge assembly, take the speedo out of the housing where you could lube the gears. If nothing is broken and looks good, I would think that would take care of the squeak.
I think they should be quite similiar on the inside. But there is nothing that needs friction inside? So i dont accidentaly over-lube my speedo so its stone dead?
There are small gears and drums that turn on a shaft. A shot or two of light oil on the gears-shaft or lube such as kroll should do it.
There was a 39 speedo with all the guages as well on Ebay a few months ago. Only $40. I know it wasnt sold. If your problem isnt the cable drive, here is a replacement speedo.
I opened up the speedometer and used oil fpr my hair-trimmer on all moving parts. Now it seems to be just fine. Havent tested it n the car yet, but when spinned with fingers the needle moves really smooth and silent. Not like before when it screamed when i touched it. Lets hope it stays quiet in the car.

Why ads?The 2013 Prius C is the smallest vehicle in Toyota's family of hybrids. With a starting price under $20,000, this 5-passenger hatchback also represents the least expensive way to get into a Toyota hybrid. Yet like its bigger Prius brother, there's another number that's sure to impress: 50. That's the combined miles-per-gallon rating for the Prius C, which attains an even loftier 53 mpg in the city – the area for which this hybrid gets its "C" designation. The Prius C isn't the least expensive or most fun-to-drive subcompact out there, but its sterling mpg figures stand well beyond even traditional fuel misers in this segment such as the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Mini Cooper Hardtop, and Hyundai Accent.
