I was eligible to collect my retirement benefit three years ago. If I file now, will I receive retroactive payments?
No. Retirement benefits are not retroactive. If you are not working in New York State public employment -- even if you are in private, out-of-state, or federal employment -- you may collect your pension. A retirement application must be on file at least 30 days before retirement can begin.

One thing my mother taught me was manners. Say please and thank you. Be prepared when asked to do something that you commit to ahead of time. My family by no means resembled the families of, "Father Knows Best" or "Leave it to Beaver." My household was quite dysfunctional, like so many others, with a variety of issues. Yet, my Mom did instill in me that please and thank you and being prepared, go a long way. What doesn't go very far in favor, now or in the past, is a lack of manners and responsibility. I recently experienced this lack on two levels, personal and professional. If you are asking by now, what, "Father Knows Best" or "Leave it To Beaver' might be, you can find out by Googling them. Google: the answer to all questions - except the question of face-to-face interface, an upfront and personal accountability that includes the social skills which come with such an interaction.
To be precise, I first met a friend of my adult step-son at a family holiday dinner in December and invited this young woman to perform for a February comedy event at the playhouse I run located in an historic river town along the Hudson. She was intelligent, funny, and I found I could converse with her at the dinner table about the history and culture of the past and present. I was impressed. I am always interested in helping young talent get ahead, so I invited her to be part of my Sunday afternoon theatrical and musical series in Peekskill, NY. She referred me to some of her work on You Tube. She was funny (although it was a voice over, over a video), so I gave her the opportunity to do ten minutes of stand-up on my stage. The publicity went out through traditional and social media, I talked about it on TV, I put up posters, etc. I was ready. She was not.
When she arrived the weekend of the show, she quickly told me that her computer had malfunctioned that morning so she could not print out her script. Duh, I thought to myself. Didn't you memorize it by now, since you were asked to create it two months ago in December? Ok, I thought. Maybe she wanted to read from the script, as in a new style of comedy I had not heard of. I was open to that, if it was funny. She continued and said that she had a notebook with her and would jot down what she could remember from her computer file and would also make observations while she was with us, so she could come up with something and be ready for Sunday on stage. She had mentioned that day, as she had in past emails, that she was somewhat perplexed because I had asked her, and everyone else on the bill, not to resort to the F-word, since this venue was also a coffee house open to the public. Her tone was vague and nonplussed in a slacker kind of way. I responded by saying that perhaps she could approach this as a challenge, to be funny without dropping easy F-bombs to create laughter, the nervous kind or otherwise. As we all sat in the kitchen, I continued in earnest. "Feel free to make fun of me and my husband, since you will have had the chance to observe us in our home." Could I attempt to put a fire under her butt, even at the expense of my being made fun of? Sure. I just wanted to be certain that she had something to say. Turns out she did not.
She took the stage the next day after a sixty-something year old woman who had actually her act together. This woman turned out to be a pisser, as it were, with superb timing, jokes, and mild innuendo. When my young guest grabbed the mic, she told the audience that she had a computer problem so she didn't have anything with her to share. Duh, again. Isn't stand up supposed to be a prepared performance? And, if not necessarily so, then we were ready for some amazing improv. It never happened. She told us she was a lesbian. That's not funny. She told us she took the wrong train to Peekskill. That was a bit humorous when she mimicked the conductor's ominous voice and his response (she called him the man who takes the tickets). She didn't say much else on stage except a lot of what sounded like her inner thoughts bleeding through her brain, commenting on how she didn't have much to say, as if she was talking to herself and we weren't there. It was a full house. Fortunately for her, it was a polite full house. If this venue was in NYC, where this former Idahoan lives, she would have been unmercifully booed or laughed or both off of the stage within minutes. I called out, "You can make fun of Paul and me since you got to observe us this weekend." That got the biggest laugh, but she didn't take the idea and run with it. She just told the audience the size of her bra cup and how that was weird since she was a lesbian (?) and how she wore a plaid shirt for the occasion, and how, yes, she really didn't have much to say. We had gotten that by then. Still, we applauded. My business partner asked me aside, "is that 'I'm not prepared' stuff part of her act?" All I knew was that her unpreparedness was a lack of manners and responsibility. She had an opportunity to hone her skills and she blew it.
I wasn't concerned about my reputation of bringing original theatre, music and comedy to the playhouse. I have a loyal following; they could see that this disaster was an exception to what we had presented that day, a short comedic play along with the two comics. The weirdest thing is that she didn't seem to be fazed by the embarrassment she created for herself. Not on stage, not after she left the stage, and not on the way to our home to pick up her things before we drove her and her friends, who came up to see her on stage, to the train. They, too, were unfazed by herun-performance.
So, where was her mother when it came to teaching the fine art of manners? Or, was this behavior all part of her mode of rebellion that she shared with us over Sunday breakfast, when she said, "Being a lesbian is the biggest rebellion I could give to my Mom." Rebellion, manners, responsibility and the lack or abundance there of, will always be with us, on-line or face to face. Yet, in our world of impersonal technology, there is not much one has to do to engage in research, get information, or even prepare for life. All one has to do is Google one's question and the answer pops up on the screen, albeit factual or not. And you don't even have to say please and thank you to your electronic device when it is offers a response.

By JAMES MEROLLA
Special to The Standard
EAST GREENWICH ã New England Tech is ãUPã these days. Or will be, at least, on Oct. 12-13.
The school will be ãUPã and ãMonsters, Inc.ã and ãBrave,ã and ãMonsters Universityã (the next movie in 2013), and all those Pixar film titles when top animators from that prolific movie franchise conduct a two-day workshop at the East Greenwich campus.
The all-day, two-day seminar, entitled, ãMasterclass in Animation and Story Development,ã is open to all teens and young adults and will run from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, and Saturday, Oct. 13. Two top professionals from Pixar Animation Studios, Andrew Gordon and Matthew Luhn, will share their creativity and expertise with students looking to learn their craft and industry.
The NEIT presentation is one of only six North American stops including Chicago, Seattle, Miami, Toronto and Vancouver. Gordon and Luhn will enlighten participants with the tools needed to help create original stories and feature-quality animation. Individuals will have a unique opportunity to meet and network with others in the animation industry.
ãIt is a milestone occasion to have industry leaders like Andrew Gordon and Matthew Luhn from Pixar Animation Studios visit New England Institute of Technology,ã said Steven Kitchin, Vice President for Corporate Education and Training at the school. ãWe believe this reflects highly on the college as well as on our many technical programs that prepare New England Tech students for this fast-growing industry.ã
According to a press release, Andrew Gordon has been animating characters professionally for 18 years. He joined Pixar in 1997 where he has been an animator for feature films such as, ãA Bugãs Life,ã ãToy Story 2 & 3,ã ãMonsters Inc.,ã ãFinding Nemo,ã ãThe Incrediblesã and ãRatatouille.ã
Matthew Luhn began his career at Pixar in 1992 as an animator for the first ãToy Storyã film. Since that time, Luhn has worked in the Story Development department storyboarding on ãToy Story 2 & 3,ã ãMonsters Inc.,ã ãFinding Nemo,ã ãCars,ã ãRatatouille,ã and ãUP.ã
According to Kitchin, The two-day event will appeal to a wide audience of professionals at all levels of skill and experience including 2D/3D animators; character designers and artists; writers, script and story writers, and storytellers; filmmakers and developers of feature films, short films, online works and websites; developers and designers of video games, online games and mobile apps; authors and publishers; storyboard artists, cartoonists, illustrators and graphic designers; software developers especially for 2D/3D animation, modeling, composing, motion, VFX, simulation and rendering; students, enthusiasts and hobbyists of animation and story; teachers, trainers and educators.
ãAs Pixarãs Buzz Lightyear would say, we are thrilled ãto infinity and beyondã to offer this highly regarded workshop not only to our college community but also to those individuals involved with animation and storyboarding throughout the New England area,ã he said. ãWe offer associate and bachelor degree programs in Graphic, Multimedia and Web Design Technology, Video Game Design Technology, Game Development and Simulation Programming Technology, and Software Engineering Technology so the Pixar Animation Master class will certainly complement our offerings.ã
This class completely sold out at each location last year so early registration is recommended. Typically, the cost of this workshop is $499 per person, but it is being offered at New England Tech for $295.
ãI am really looking forward to this,ã said Jack Seber, a high school junior from Barrington, one of at least three high school students who have signed up. ãI want to be an animator or comic book storyboard artist professionally and this is a tremendous first step. I am nervous, but excited, too.ã
For class curriculum and registration information, go to http://cti.neit.edu/pixarmasterclass. Questions may be directed to Cheryl Booker, Training Coordinator at NEIT, at 401-780-4345 or email@example.com.

- Based on brain activity alone, researchers can predict which picture a volunteer is thinking of or what activity they are imagining doing—but only out of a limited list of possibilities.
- True mind reading—the ability to decode spontaneous thoughts—will require major technological advances, but the latest research is already yielding key insights into how the brain remembers and makes decisions.
As a favor to friends in my academic department, I have frequently been a guinea pig in the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. In most of these cases, I fight valiantly against slumber as the stimuli flash on the small screen in front of me and the hypnotic, high-pitched beeps of the scanner reverberate all around. This time, though, it was different. Martin Monti, a fellow neuroscientist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, England, was going to read my mind. As the bed I lay on slid robotically into the giant doughnut-shaped scanner, I had a strange sensation that I was about to be seen naked—mentally, at least.
The task was simple: Monti would ask me questions—did I have any siblings, did I think England was going to win the soccer match that night, and so on. If I wanted to answer "yes," then I would imagine myself playing tennis, activating a known set of motor regions in my brain by doing so. If I wanted to answer "no," then I was to imagine navigating around the rooms of my home, activating an entirely different set of areas involved in scene perception. Given that each scan—and thus each of my yes or no answers—took five minutes, the conversation was not the most riveting I had ever had, but when Monti accurately guessed my response every time, it was nonetheless thrilling and unnerving in equal measure.

The most intense pressure of all: the desire to excel.
"Obviously Porsche has a great heritage as a company. The 911 is now fifty years old. Its engine has always remained in the same position. But for the RSR we have optimised it even further."
Jacques Hendrikse, Race Operations Manager
When it comes to winning and when thinking about the future, we consider even the tiniest detail: every part of the vehicle, every single screw, and every second of every lap. A lightweight construction is clearly imperative. At 1,245 kg, the 911 RSR adheres precisely to the minimum weight specified by FIA World Endurance Championship regulations.
From the very start, the vehicle was designed to be suitable for long-distance racing. A new body structure with a longer wheelbase and new intake air ducting provides a platform for pure power that is just waiting to be unleashed. That is supplied by a water-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with a four-litre capacity. In figures this translates as 338 kW (approx. 470 hp) – limited by a restrictor. Output is transferred to the rear axle by a new six-speed sequential Porsche GT racing gearbox. Paddles deliver faster, more comfortable gearshifts.
To control the 911 RSR's undeniable forward thrust, the brake system has six-piston monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear. Featuring a double-wishbone suspension at the front and multi-link rear axle, adjustable shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, the chassis superbly handles any manoeuvre – on straights as well as chicanes.
The axle geometry further optimises aerodynamics for even greater efficiency. Less drag coupled with increased downforce reduces the tendency to understeer and allows higher speeds when cornering.
From the development process onwards, another aspect has also received particular attention: safety. Our engineers' uncompromising approach on this extreme interpretation of sportiness is evident from the weld-in roll cage, the overhauled FT3 safety tank and the optimised fire extinguishing system. Clear evidence of the importance that Porsche attaches to safety in motorsport, irrespective of the emphasis on lightweight construction.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The College of Charleston women's soccer team has been picked to finish second in the Southern Conference by a poll conducted by the league's coaches.
The Cougars, after finishing the 2011 regular season tied for second place and advancing to the tournament final, garnered 106 points in the voting and earned a first-place vote.
"It's always nice to be voted at or near the top of the league by your peers," said head coach Christian Michner, "so we're flattered that the league's coaches see College of Charleston in that light. But, as I always say, it's just a prediction and those don't always align, do they?
"Every coach in the SoCon will be preparing their team to try and beat us so we won't take anything for granted and know we'll have to fight for every point we get this season."
Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own team or players in the balloting.
The coaches also voted on a preseason all-conference team and senior midfielder Sarah Schaidle was included on the list.
"Sarah being selected to the preseason All-Conference team is no real shock," said Michner. "I think she's the best player in our league and for the other coaches to have voted her in is a real honor. If she can improve on her amazing junior-year performance, she will be a player to be reckoned all season long for the Cougars."
CofC returns 15 letter winners from last season and adds a nationally-renowned recruiting class of 10 newcomers.
Defending league champions Samford were picked to repeat as league champions with 120 points in the voting and 10 first-place nods.
The Cougars open the 2012 campaign with an exhibition match against Wake Forest on Saturday, Aug. 11 at Patriots Point. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. and admission is free to the public.

I liked it I hope you do too
its great. just a little tough that its not in english. the actor who does the main alien creatures is fantastically expressive without using his voice (he played ABE in the Hellboy movies).
i am always amazed at how Del Toro always seems to key into nightmarish creatures that almost everyone says look vaguely familiar to them without their knowing why. I think he has tapped a common child's dreams or unconsciousness, or something like that.
ok, who writes "goo goo at a at a, fukin jew heeb"?

NBA PM: Chris Paul Committed to Clippers
When free agency opened on Sunday, Chris Paul was one of the first players to receive a contract offer. The Los Angeles Clippers contacted him almost immediately, offering a three-year, $60 million extension. While Paul turned down the offer, it doesn't mean his days in Los Angeles are numbered. The 27-year-old will put off signing a new contract until next July, when he's eligible to ink a five-year, $110-million extension with the Clippers.
While there has already been speculation that Paul will bolt to join fellow 2013 unrestricted free agent Dwight Howard on a new team such as the Atlanta Hawks or Houston Rockets, the superstar point guard seems committed to the Clippers. Even though he didn't put pen to paper, he's going about his business as if he expects to be in Los Angeles for years to come.
Over the past three days, Paul has been aggressively recruiting for the Clippers, contacting free agents and attempting to sell them on the situation. His pitch has been convincing, with talk about the promising future in Los Angeles and opportunity to compete for a championship. While most players have one foot out the door as free agency looms, Paul is working the phones and planning face-to-face meetings with potential teammates.
Not only has Paul played a huge role in the Clippers' pursuit of free agents, he has been working with several of Los Angeles' prospects in recent weeks. Paul has been training with Eric Bledsoe, Travis Leslie and Trey Tompkins in Los Angeles, helping the three young players expand their games. The point guard organized the offseason workouts, and other Clippers – such as DeAndre Jordan – will also be participating in the coming weeks. Paul has taken Bledsoe, Leslie and Thompkins under his wing, pushing them to improve all aspects of their game and encouraging them as they continue their development.
Off the court, Paul has also been bonding with his teammates. He has been spending a considerable amount of time hanging out with his teammates, in Los Angeles and around the country. Last weekend, he flew Leslie and Thompkins to Las Vegas, where he was hosting several parties.
Recruiting free agents, developing young talent and bonding off the court aren't responsibilities that a departing superstar usually takes on if his days with a franchise are numbered. Sources close to the point guard say he loves Los Angeles and has been impressed with the Clippers organization. His experience has been positive and while not signing an extension allows him to keep his options open, the decision was more about securing the extra two years and $48 million available next offseason.
Paul is looking forward to the upcoming season and will worry about free agency next summer. For now, he's focused on recruiting free agents and building a strong rapport with his teammates, which may indicate that Paul's stint in Los Angeles isn't coming to an end anytime soon.
Williams Hasn't Made a Decision: All eyes are on Deron Williams. Will he sign with the Brooklyn Nets or the Dallas Mavericks? Both franchises are awaiting a decision from Williams, who hasn't informed anyone what he's going to do. The point guard met with executives from the Nets and Mavericks on Monday and while the meetings went well, there's no timetable for a decision.
Sources close to Williams believe he's waiting to see what other moves are made before making his final decision. Brooklyn has traded for Joe Johnson and Reggie Evans in the last 24 hours, and the Nets continue their pursuit of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. While the Magic and Nets negotiate, Williams will wait.
Meanwhile, free agent point guards around the NBA will continue to wait as well. Available floor generals such as Steve Nash, Jeremy Lin, Ramon Sessions, Goran Dragic and Aaron Brooks are in a holding pattern as Williams considers his options. Once Williams makes his decision, Nash will likely follow. After those two dominoes fall, expect many other point guards to begin signing contracts.
Ebanks Receiving Interest From Five Teams: Restricted free agent Devin Ebanks has drawn interest from a number of teams including the Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder, Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, according to sources close to the situation.
The Los Angeles Lakers extended a qualifying offer to Ebanks last week, which means they can match any offer the small forward receives. The Lakers have been in contact with their 2010 second-round pick, and are hoping to re-sign him. Once Ebanks signs an offer sheet on July 10, the Lakers will have three days to match.
Ebanks appeared in 24 games last season, averaging 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds.
Kings, Pistons, Suns Like Williams: Unrestricted free agent Terrence Williams has received interest from the Sacramento Kings, Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns, according to sources close to the situation.
Williams averaged 8.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists last season with the Kings.

Dio Deka
Online Reservations
What a nice touch with a personalized message written on our menu. Dinner was absolutely divine, the chef brilliant as always and the service was right on the mark. Cheers!
Once again Dio Deka proves that there still are restaurants out there that are truly amazing in all aspects. Everything we had was cooked to our exact specifications, and our waiter was very knowledgable of the menu. There were a few times where we found ourselves waiting for the waiter to come fill out wine glasses, or take our plates, or bring the check. but other than that, the experience was outstanding. The complimentary valet is a nice touch as well!
Very reliable restaurant. They've made some changes to the preparations -- the yogourt for dessert was exceptionally creamy and rich. The fish was excellent as always... a very nice treatment. And the lamb chops (my personal favorite) were perfectly prepared. The two double ribs are plenty -- only the biggest eaters would need more. Only complaint is I think their prices went up again -- they are now getting very pricey, so this will not be a "spur-of-the-moment" go-to place in future. Not quite as good as Evvia's in Palo Alto, but fine fare... and you can still get in here :-).
Jerome was an excellent , he let us decide the pace of our dining. Three friends getting together needing time to reminisce.
The restaurant is beautifully situated and the interior is lovely. The food was so tasty and palate pleasing. Everything from appetizers to dessert was excellent. I highly recommend their fish specialty. Their Greek yogurt dessert is out of this world!
Fabulous food, great service, a Los Gatos gem! Still one of my favorites in the South Bay for its energy, fine Greek cuisine and friendly staff. A must visit!!
I went for dinner and enjoyed tremendously. Presentation BEAUTIFUL for all the dishes, and food was exquisite. Appetizer combo had 4 delightful components: lamb meatball, dolma, shortrib, and spanikopita. I would order again in a heartbeat. My husband's steak & creamed spinach were excellent. The waiter recommended chef's special crispy gigantes beans appetizer, wonderful (I wouldn't have ordered without recommendation). My entree was a bit disappointing-supposed to be a seafood stew but it didn't have much broth/sauce & fish needed more flavor. I wouldn't order that again, but there are many other dishes that I would be interested in trying for another special occasion (it's very expensive for dinner - might be less so for brunch).
The food was amazing and our waiter made the best selection for our dinner.
A totally different experience in hellenic cuisine, excellent CRISPY gigantes, the appetizer plate was awesome. the avgolemono soup is as good as homemade. Service was excellent
This visit was for our 40th wedding anniversary. The lamb shank was wonder and the baked polenta, outstanding. Yummy!
The food is fabulous, the service is great. Always a great fun meal. I cannot recommend it enough. GO!
We found the dishes were all a bit heavy on the salt, and I'm one who usually thinks dishes aren't salted enough. Everything else was quite good and cooked to perfection.
I'd heard that this place had great food and was very expensive. True about the food, cost is relative. Both my wife and I were very satisfied with our food choices although we both commented (as have others) that some items were a bit too salty for our tastes. My wife had the corn risotto with crab and it was amazing! I had the double cut lamb chops which were quite large, perfectly done and a great choice overall. I didn't care for the "whipped" spinach (basically pureed and a little dry). The roasted potato accompanyment were quite good. The room is large and it's a bit loud but seemed very convivial. Service was prompt but allowed for time between offerings to chat and be relaxed. First visit but we'll be back again soon I'm sure.
It's not inexpensive, but it is top-notch all way around. They had personalized menus for my husband's birthday, and attentive service. The only very minor glitch is no one was at the door when we first entered, and we had to wait a few minutes for the host to arrive. Not a big deal. Luckily it wasn't busy as we were seated right next to the door - curious for the special occasion dinner and as it wasn't busy - why put someone right next to the lobby area when there are so many empty tables in better locations? (I always wonder if it's because we reserved off of opentable...) The food was amazing, from appetizers to desserts. Food arrived piping hot, perfectly prepared, and tasty. Definitely recommended.
The service was attentive which meant they left us alone when it was clear we wanted to linger over our wine after the meal and before dessert and also when we spent a long time perusing the wine list. The food was excellent, their grilled meats are exceptional. All of them Prime cuts from Chicago. I had the double lamb chops that had a thin rind of fat making them extra tasty, my husband had the veal porterhouse which you don't always find, and it was tender and amazingly flavorful. The vegetables were not memorable. Dinner for 2 with an $80 bottle of wine and 2 cocktails, dessert, and appetizers was $300.
Came here for bf's bday (noted on reservation and commented on by front of house staff as we checked in). Everything was amazing, except for where we were seated (right next to the entrance), despite a quite a few empty tables. Perhaps it is the curse of OpenTable (already mentioned in other reviews here). Still enjoyed nonetheless.
Everything was excellent. The only problem was that the online reservation system did not work.
We always go to Dio Deka for special occasions - birthdays, anniversaries, mother's day brunches, etc. They never disappoint! I always ask for a vegetarian entree, which isn't on the menu, but the chef creates something fresh & seasonal. This time it was a corn risotto with zucchini, cherry tomatoes & herbs - it was delicious! My husband tried a steak for the first time & said it was one of the best he's ever had (and he worked as a butcher in high school & college & prides himself on knowing his meat!). All the appetizers & sides were great as always. Our only complaint is the desserts - they never change & don't seem to be quite on par with how good the food is. Oh, and wines by the glass were all incredible!
Outstanding food. Incredibly noisy on a Sat night. Too many large parties seated next to 2 person tables. Hard to make it a romantic night out when you have to yell and deal with bridal shower antics.
Love this place. I have been here numerous times and it has been consistently fantastic.
Warm welcome. Excellent food an service make Dio Deka one of our favorite restaurants in the area
Our party of seven, which included three children 13 and under, was $450. A 20% service charge was included and then we were taxed on the total which included the service charge?! We brought our own wine, had no cocktails, and were quite sparing on appetizers (4) and desserts (3). Going whole hog, we could have easily spent another 200$. The food and service are impeccable. We really had full attention paid to us. This restaurant is worth it if you are a couple celebrating a special occasion--don't "treat" others to this restaurant--it will break your bank. The prices were the only reason for the four stars, otherwise, it is still my favorite restaurant.
We have been going thru some difficult times lately and we decided that we needed a nice evening with family. We sat on the patio on a PERFECT night. The weather was great and we enjoyed listening to the Los Gatos High School warmup for the football game. Later we enjoyed the music at Dio Deka. We had a variety of appetizers including Brussels sprouts that were heavenly. Everything that we ordered was delicious and the service was FANTASTIC!!!!! We had appetizers, salad, dessert and wine. This evening was just what the doctor ordered!
Dio Deka never disappoints. From food to service it has always been top notch.
Very flavorful Greek dishes. Something for everyone. Excellent helpful service. Fine bar. Good wine list.
went to celebrate 50th b-day. they had a special menu printed for us. the desserts were amazing. it was one of the best meals I've ever had.
Finding gourmet Greek is a rarity and these guys do it well. Excellent menu with a lot of variety. Top notch wine list. Restaurant is a bit close quarters and noise level is high. Top attraction is live jazz in the courtyard so you can have drinks and relax before or after dinner. The hostesses are all attractive but dressed a bit like they are going to a NJ disco so if you like that sort of thing just visiting the lounge may be enough for you.
Great time, great food, great service. We had a blast on our 17th anniversary...
Our meals were as fantastic as my friend said they would be. We are new to LG and have found our new favorite restaurant. Lamb chops and Mousaka were outstanding as well as appetizers. Wonderful way to have spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary but will also make this a regular stop.
Our server was Janni. He is the best! Food was delicious was our anniversary dinner and he brought is desert no charge! Totally unexpected. Our new favorite place to dine
Our dining experience was wonderful. We were celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary and Dio Deka had printed customized menus for us, noting our special occasion. The service was perfect. But most of all, the food was fantastic. I particularly loved the brussel sprouts and lamb meatballs as appetizers. The chilled eggplant soup was delicious. I had moussaka, which was heavenly. My husband had sea bass which was good, though it seemed a bit plain compared to all the other things we had. The price was not outrageous either, even with a lower-priced bottle of red zin.
We loved the food and service. Classy place and classy service. The service was perfect. They were spot on when we needed something they were already offering it up before we asked. Food was delicious. We can't wait to go back.
we went on Halloween night.... to celebrate a milestone.... food was outstanding.... our server, Sarah, was the best! We humored her from the get-go and she played right along. Good natured....all fun. The cuisine is what brings us back time after time..... A+.
Our dinner was excellent. The octopus appetizer was delicious, the whole fish dorade was cooked perfectly and the greek yogurt dessert was rich and creamy. We were disappointed on the corkage fee $35 a bottle. We brought two bottles from our cellar and were shocked when the bill came and we were charged $70.
We celebrated my wife's birthday at Dio Deka and they were truly fantastic. They were attentive and helpful and gracious and truly professional and hospitable. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The Hotel Los Gatos is a warm setting for this excellent Greek restaurant. They have an amazing wine list, and their waiters are well versed in it. The food is exceptional - from seafood to lamb. Follow the recommendations of the house, they are always spot on. We love this place!
I have only been to Dio Deka on 2 occassions - when my husband proposed and for his 35th birthday 3 years later. This is the place to celebrate special occasions with top-knotch artfully presented food. You will wish you could lick your fingers/plate clean (especially if you try the ribs appetizer)! Definitely recommended if you want to check out what the South Bay has to offer!
The food was very tasty. Great tzatsiki appetizer. Not a great quantity given though. Beet salad was good. Steaks were great, and the mushrooms and garlic fries were very good as well. Very friendly and courteous wait staff.
Excellent Greek food, especially if you like Greek fish (Tsipoura or Lavraki -(Branzino and Dorade) ) which they claim they get daily from NY. Expect to pay about $50 per person (without wine), which includes a couple of appetizers and a dessert (their loukoumades are excellent).
We arrived at 5:00 p.m. and received an excellent table with Darrel as our waiter. He was superb with an nice sense of humor and excellent recommendations. Our Special Occasion was having a delightful dinner together. The meat balls and brussel sprouts appetisers along with the main entrees of lamb shanks and lamb chops were terrific. The desert list looked good, but we could not enjoy any more food.
Every time we go we swear we're going to try a different dish but we always end up ordering the Lamb chops because they're THAT good. Not inexpensive but everything is top notch.
Two of us went there for dinner on Friday night. We had a great time, the service was outstanding. We asked some questions about the Hellenic coffee, and they offer us to see how the coffee was prepared. A really good treat. We had the dolma, and lamb meatball as starters, they were very tasty. We both had fish for dinner (one filet, and one whole fish). We liked that the fish was not dry. Only complain I had about the food was they were little too salty for us.
Had not been there before and enjoyed it very much.
Wish every restaurant had service like this - very attentive, but not intrusive. Food never disappoints. Don't be afraid to try the Brussels sprouts or octopus. Absolutely delicious! Loukoumathes for dessert are not the usual New Orleans variety beignets. These light little balls of yummy topped with a special Greek honey syrup are from a family recipe.
Met the ladies out, had a reasonably priced bottle of Chilean red, though their wine list includes +$3000 bottles. The roasted brussel sprouts had honey and they were ridiculously good. Only drawback was that our waiter was pushing mains a bit too hard, as ladies out it would have been nice to feel free to order a selection of starters for the table and have that be that. He constantly was asking when we'd like to order our mains.
This is not just a Greek Restaurant, it is a three star adventure with wonderful dishes, wine, and superb service!
What a great find. Dio Deka surpassed our expectations for a fine client dinner and experience in Los Gatos. Experience it with confidence. Athos, the server was superb. We abandoned our menus and let Athos guide us on a culinary excursion with fabulous result. The wines choices were perfect and food highly enjoyable. So well done Dio Deka and big thanks for making it a successful evening. We scored.....
They do octopus perfectly, both the app and salad. Everything is always great down to the bread.
Very good food, more gourmet Greek than traditional Greek restaurant. Service was excellent with the server very informative of the menu items and aligning with out tastes.
We had never heard of this restaurant but was given a gift certificate so we checked it out. The service was outstanding but the best part of the meal was the hors d'oeuvres and wine. The main course (seafood platter) was bland.

I love the design in that it lends it self well to all styles of decor, from modern to eclectic. We also purchased separately the control kit, which allows you to adjust the rate of spinning from slow to fast. It is extremely quite and runs smoothly. Great addition, functionally and aesthetically to any home!

I do love my Thai food - and Tara's is quite good -- not crazy authentic but having a best friend who is Thai makes me really spoiled. So now that you all know my high standards, I do love the people at this Tara Thai's and like to support them (even though I live in Bethesda, I prefer to eat here). I think that the no delivery fee is very classy - and lends to a larger tip for the driver.

This is possibly the worst Pad Thai I've eaten in a long, long time. The chicken was half-cooked, with raw bits poking out of the gummy noodles. I had to literally re-cook the whole thing in a wok so I could eat it. The papaya salad was under-seasoned. Never again!

A petition to recall city Rep. Cortney Niland was rejected by the Municipal Clerk's Office a day after it was filed.
The 500-signature petition was filed by former El Paso Mayor Ray Salazar and signed by others who are upset over plans to tear down City Hall and build a $50 million ballpark in its place.
The 54 pages Salazar submitted to the city did not comply with a requirement in the City Charter that on each page someone must make an oath "that each signature is that of the person whose name it purports to be," Municipal Clerk Richarda Momsen wrote in a letter to Salazar.
Instead, each of the pages of the petition bears a notary public's stamp next to a declaration that Salazar had sworn "that the statements contained are true and correct" standard wording when a document is notarized.
Fernando Chacon, Salazar's attorney, could not immediately be reached Thursday evening with questions about the petition's rejection. Earlier Thursday, he declined to discuss the attempt to recall Niland.
Niland seemed relieved at the news that the attempt to recall her was dead -- at least for now.
"I absolutely respect this citizen-protected right, but there are laws that have to be adhered to," she said. "I love this job. It's a privilege to serve my community."
It's unclear whetherÊSalazar and his group, the Coalition for Responsive Government, will restart the petition pro cess. They would have to gather 385 certified signatures to put a Niland recall to voters on the May ballot.
Members of the coalition have threatened to recall the five city representatives who have supported the ballpark and its planned location in part because the matter was not put to voters.
Voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a ballot initiative to defray stadium costs with an increase in the hotel-occupancy tax and a $473 million bond package, part of which would fund projects that would complement the Downtown stadium.
Mayor John Cook and city Reps. Steve Ortega and Susie Byrd also are facing a recall from the group El Pasoans for Traditional Family Values and others because they voted to restore health benefits to gay and unmarried partners of city employees after voters ended the benefit in a 2010 ballot initiative.

My Big Hang-Up in a Connected World
One man's rage against the communication revolution and the dying of civility
- By Ted Gup
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2010, Subscribe
My 81-year-old mother was sitting solemnly in a pew at Christ Church. It was a memorial service for a 101-year-old friend. In the midst of the pastor's eulogy, my mother's cellphone went off. The ringtone wasn't a dirge by Chopin or Handel but the pulsating beat of "Are You Ready?" sung in full falsetto by the Chipmunks. Her 12-year-old granddaughter, Cassie, had programmed the phone.
Every head in the church turned upon my mother. Poor soul, she didn't even know how to turn it off. Fearing it might erupt again, Mother sat on the phone, hoping to smother it. Seconds later the chapel was again filled with the sound of Chipmunks; it was Cassie calling to see if one of her friends might catch a ride home from school.
Like me, my mother was not quite ready for the communication revolution. As a teacher of journalism, I tell myself that all this connectedness is the link that joins the Family of Man. But in my quieter moments (of which there are now not many), I see we've created a nation of zombies—heads down, thumbs on tiny keyboards, mindless millions staring blankly, shuffling toward some unseen horizon. To them, the rest of us are invisible. Not long ago, a colleague was startled to see a young woman approaching; she had been too absorbed in her texting to notice the words "Men's Room" on the door. For one brief shining moment, she was at a loss for words.
These days, I, too, carry a cellphone clipped to my belt, hoping the pod people (er...iPod people) will mistake me for one of their own. But I rarely turn it on. Judging from all the urgency around me, I alone seem to have nothing to say, nothing that demands I communicate that instant. I await no call, text or e-mail of such import that it couldn't be served as well with a stamp and a complete sentence, both of which seem destined for history's dustbin.
For many, wandering off the grid is death itself. Legend has it that when evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson died in 1944, she was buried with a connected telephone so she could alert the world to her resurrection. (Of such stories, journalists say: "Too good to check.") This generation may well choose to be entombed with their BlackBerries, ready to text that final OMG! from the other side.
IMO ("In My Opinion") we've gone too far. Not everything has to be shared the moment it is conceived. (We cover our mouths when we cough, why not when we think?) I say any thought that doesn't have a shelf life beyond five seconds is best left unarticulated. Alexander Graham Bell liked keeping in touch as much as the next guy, but during the ceremony following his death on August 2, 1922, telephones across North America were silenced in tribute to their inventor. Quaint as that may sound today, I wonder if a little silence and some self-restraint might be in order. Like my poor mother, it seems few of us now know when or how to turn it all off. Perhaps the Chipmunks asked the right question: "Are you ready?" For me, the answer is "No way."

Another one to Ms. Girvan,
The rule about beginning a sentence with "But" probably changed at about the same time it became acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition - to wit: "...attaching me to all those friends and family whom I lovingly rather keep a little bit space between.)" In the words of those youngsters who so annoy us with their text speak: BOO YA!
Posted by Tina on November 15,2010 | 03:17 PM
IMO: I loved the article, and the comments. But I still plan keep my phone until my final OMG.
Posted by Ranjani on October 17,2010 | 01:10 AM
I do think that one must learn how to relate to these new things because they simply became part of our everyday life. Like everything there is a bad and a good side to these. It can be very disturbing when someone calls you up at a very unexpected time, but there are cases when having a cell phone is very useful. Like when my wife and I split up our family in a big mall or in town one shopping and the other taking care (or running after) the children. By the time she finishes she might or she might not find us on the original spot...
However be brave to wait to turn on that thing until after breakfast or early in the evening, it DOES NOT have to be turned on always.
Posted by Ati Lévai on October 13,2010 | 03:00 AM
Dear Professor Gup,
I am a doctoral candidate living on a college campus in the middle of the U.S.
I just returned from the laundry mat. I put my laundry in the machine, went out to the car to get soap and when I returned- there was a girl texting and taking my dirty laundry out of the machine. Only when I screamed at her, did she realize that the dry, dirty, smelly laundry did not belong to her. This is a typical day. The mantra on campus is "to teach critical thinking". So amusing.
I do not own a cellphone. Never have. Never will. I do not want any of my boyfriends to know where I am or what I am doing at any given time. It keeps them on their toes.
Posted by Ann on October 12,2010 | 07:34 PM
I am probably older than the writer of this article. An attitude like his is ludicrous on its face. Language changes, and modes of communication change as well. This is the age of instant communication. Linda Teasdale may well be right, because young people are not using their phones for calling, but for texting and Facebook. Even some of us who are older use our smartphones for shopping lists, texting our grandkids and each other, storing our pictures, and getting emails from our Drs.
Those who reject new (unfamiliar) ideas and cling to their old ways too closely just get old faster. When a mind is stuck at a certain time, you are old. I too laughed at the belt clip. The only thing clipped on anything anymore is the new tiny iPod.
Posted by Mrs. F on October 12,2010 | 12:06 PM
I agree with you. I love technology, but cell phones, iPods, Mp3 players, Facebook, and Twitter had seem to have dehumanized us. Although, all of these things have their great uses, there should be some moderation involved. It is not necessary to be joined at the hip with our gadgets.
Posted by Rose Ann Jones on October 8,2010 | 10:36 PM
Cell phones, unfortunately have become a necessary evil in todays society. They are used for business along with personal use.
Posted by Diana on October 7,2010 | 03:16 PM
Dear Mr.Spamer,
I was told by my children's teachers, "creative writing is...well, creative. Correct spelling stifles creativity" Pondering that thought,'alright' instead of 'all right' is ...'alright'?
Posted by RJ on October 5,2010 | 08:26 PM
So how's that buggy-whip business going? Think the whole horseless-carriage craze will just fizz out like the Lindy Hop? Dang kids and their 'trends'!
Posted by WhipperShnapper on October 5,2010 | 03:58 PM
Dear Ms. Girvan: "But" is spelled correctly. That's alright, teacher of journalism; we will not take you "to" seriously.
Posted by Earle Spamer on October 5,2010 | 12:57 PM
Thank you Mr. Poe for setting straight the grammarian whose spelling could have used some improvement to boot.
However much we may not like it, instant communication is here to stay. But perhaps we could hold out for a little better grammar, spelling, and, in fact, consideration of privacy as this revolution overtakes us.
I can accept change, as we all should. But we should not accept change without limits.
Posted by Patrick on October 5,2010 | 03:05 AM
I'm of a completely different generation than you, or most of the people who have commented. And I must say, I laughed out loud - not where you would think.
While I think you have a valid point, your world of turned off cell phones and hand over word sneezes isn't somewhere (somewhen?) I would want to live. I thrive on media, social networking, cell phones, smart phones, iPads. I am the iPod generation.
Which is why I feel I should tell you that when you write the sentence "These days, I, too, carry a cellphone clipped to my belt, hoping the pod people (er...iPod people) will mistake me for one of their own." I laughed.
We may walk into the wrong restroom because we're texting, and we may miss the announcement on the T because our iPods are blasting, and we may frown at handing in our papers printed out instead of emailed or posted, but we have our own details. We notice when you clip your cell phone to your belt - and we automatically know that you, kind Sir, are not one of us.
Posted by Josie on September 27,2010 | 01:55 PM
I suppose it became okay to start a sentence with "But" when it became okay to write a response to an article containing the sentence "Please don't take me to (sic) seriously." Didn't your spell / grammar checker catch that?
Posted by Don Poe on September 26,2010 | 11:59 AM
Dear Mr Gup,
Thank you for your humorous article.
My friend and I were discussing this subject at dinner. We agree that we are not ready for this type of communication, which includes disruptive noises and loud mindless chatter in our personal space.
I imagine that silence will come 'round full circle in this age of Facebook where you may read a daily diary of everyone so why call and talk to find out what they're doing. When two teens are sitting together in the back seat of the car texting each other, there is vocal silence.
I miss common sense, (we needed a law to not Text and Drive?),and good old fashioned conversation with long silences in between to think.
Posted by Linda Teasdale on September 25,2010 | 02:38 PM
People who are "hard-of-hearing" may be interested in certain of today's hearing aids which masquerade as blue-tooth single-ear headsets. If you happen to be talking to yourself, people will think it is a telephone conversation.
Posted by Dicky on September 24,2010 | 10:52 PM
Mr. Gup you are not alone. My answer is "No way!" I laugh when I see all the ridiculous places where I see people texting or talking on their cell phones. Delaying gratification seems to be a thing of the past.
Posted by kathy krein on September 24,2010 | 12:22 PM
Dear Mr. Gup,
As teacher of journalism, perhaps you can enlighten me. When did the rules change, and starting a sentence with "BUT" was okay? This is age of "spell check". Did yours not catch that?
I do not carry a cell phone. My argument to my kids has always been, "when I'm waiting for a kidney, then I'll get one". Few people really need to be on call 24/7. Although I will be the first to pick up a pre-paid before heading off on any sort of road trip, anything else amounts to a collar and leash around my neck, attaching me to all those friends and family whom I lovingly rather keep a little bit space between. If I am not home, then "NO, it is not a good time to talk".
Please don't take me to seriously, I certainly don't.

Slip Leash
Quantity in Basket:
A versatile item that has long been a favorite with veterinarians and professional kennel operators. In place of a bolt snap this lead has a nickel-plated, steel ring braided on the end. By passing the lead through the ring you have a lead and leather slip collar all in one. A handy item around a kennel, because it allows you to move dogs from one place to another without having to put a collar on and off each time. We recommend the two smallest widths for lead-breaking young puppies (the leather is less severe on a puppy's neck than even a light chain collar).

So, in the face of all the doom and gloom, you may wonder if being optimistic is the same as being naive.
Judge for yourself.
I recently read about an online education initiative between Harvard and MIT.
First of all, cooperation between these two schools tells me that peace in the Middle East is possible, but in the words of that guy on TV, "Wait, there's more!"
The courses offered are of a nature to help people retrain for today's jobs. The courses are free. And the first course offered had 120,000 people sign up and 20,000 stuck with it.
Now, if you are an executive of the National Education Association or a contractor that builds schools, this may not seem like a great thin. But if you are like me and just want the younger generation to have the best education possible to prepare them for the real world they will face, it seems like a good reason to be optimistic.
I could be wrong...maybe I'll do some research.

Best carriage tour I have ever been on, our guide Todd was full of energy and local history. I wish I would have done the tour the first day, would have had a much better understanding if where to visit in the city.

I flew into Charleston the night before departing on a cruise, and wanted to see a little of Charleston while I was there. The morning of the cruise, we took a shuttle to the cruise port. After handing my baggage over to the porters, instead of following the rest of my group onto the ship, I walked about three blocks... More
Our guide and our horse Magic were great! Very informative historical tour that wasn't too long to bore my teenagers and was cool and unique enough to keep their attention! Had them even admitting that they enjoyed it! The photo op with the horse at the end was sweet, too. I chose this company because they were the only ones... More
We took this tour at 3:45 on a Tuesday in October. Beautiful weather. We were lucky to have Greg as our guide with Dakota pulling our carriage. Greg was very educated and knew so much about Charleston and the beautiful homes. He was excellent with Dakota, who was a big beautiful horse! Greg recommended really good restaurants and places to... More
We met some friends for lunch in Charleston and then decided to take a carriage tour. We just randomly picked this company. However, Tim, our guide, made it historically interesting and the banter made it fun. Carson the horse helped too. He was full of spirit and our guide knew just how to handle him. Tim took us back to... More
We chose Classic Carriage Works for our horse drawn carriage tour of Charleston & we are glad we did. Since the quality of the tour rests solely on the shoulders of your tour guide, it is kind of the luck of the draw when it comes to getting a good tour. And, this is also how your tour is decided!... More
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Todd (guide) and Kevin (beautiful Percheron horse). Todd was quick-witted as well as very informative. Well worth the $20.
Todd at Classic gave us a great tour with lots of fun and historical facts. He had a great personality which made the tour really enjoyable. We took a Harbor Tour the following day with Spirit Lines and didn't get nearly as much history or as many fun facts. The audio on this particular cruise is automated so, obviously, lacking... More
We were looking forward to the horse-drawn carriage ride to get an up-close, personalized tour of the city. We were so fortunate to find Classic Carriage, our guide Greg and Dakota the horse. It was a beautiful day, such a memorable occasion. Such a great experience! Glad we did it right ;)
So disappointed. We wanted some history of Charleston and just got a lot of attempts at humor and stories about our horse, Bill.

I had a PS2 v4 gap modded with Magic 3.1, first it play PS2 back up dvd-r games then I shut it down for about an hour and turn it back on, it won't play PS2 back up dvd-r games anymore, (PS2 back up cd-r, original dvd and cd-r play fines). My back up games had been tested with other Magic 3.1 on version 5 console and DMS3 on version 7.
I open it back up and double check to make sure none of the wire are comming loose, check for bridges and also check with a meter for continuity. I clean out the laser lense and adjust the dvd laser from 850 ohms to 1250 ohms. And guess what, this time it does load and play one of mine back up dvd-r game but the rest of my dvd-r games, you can hear it read the disc but it me the black screen. Only one load out of 70 back up dvd-r games that has been tested with other Magic 3.1 and DMS3 chips, this is odd. Could anyone tell me what wrong with my console?
I did press the reject button continuously hoping to get it load some of my dvd-r games, could this cause the problem?
