By Sen. Tom Apodaca
A broke guy walks into a car dealership and is immediately hounded by a salesman. "Can I put you in one of our nice used vehicles?" the salesman asks.
"No, I'm looking for something a little faster," the man responds. "I've been down on my luck for a good while. I lost my job. I lost my house. I couldn't keep my lights on. But I really think that something in the six-figure range will help me turn my life around."
"How about a Ferrari?" the salesman asks. "We're running a great program where you won't have to put any money down or pay a single dime for the entire first month!"
"A whole month!" the man exclaims. "What a deal! Where do I sign?"
This has never happened, nor will it ever. Why? Because no self-respecting businessman would ever be so foolish to offer financing to a person who cannot pay his bills. And yet this is what the federal government is promising us in an expansion of Medicaid. Why? Because that's how they do business in Washington. (Remember the housing crisis, anyone?)
Despite a just-released audit of our state's Medicaid program that highlights its inability to control costs, adhere to a budget, or even follow the law, the federal government is offering us a lot of taxpayer money to expand the program. Some say we would be crazy to pass up this opportunity for "free" cash. But I, for one, haven't seen a tree that grows dollar bills. Even if I had, I'd need to see a lot of them to come close to covering the costs of Medicaid expansion in North Carolina.
The state's Department of Health and Human Services estimates that Obamacare's changes to our Medicaid program could cost the state $1 billion through 2019. But even that figure is misleading. The federal government is hoping to bribe states to buy into this monstrosity by agreeing to foot 100 percent of the costs for newly eligible Medicaid recipients for the first three years.
The real costs don't come until 2020, when the federal government's support shrinks. That leaves North Carolina holding the bag for more than $100 million each year - potentially a lot more if it ever occurs to Washington lawmakers to reduce our deficit. Given the current fiscal realities, not even the most stubborn of liberals can delay that day of reckoning much longer. The federal government will soon be forced to get real about its spending habits. And when that happens, you can bet it will push more of the Medicaid burden to us.
Unlike the big spenders in Congress, our state's General Assembly is required to balance its budget. And we're also trying our best to get Medicaid costs under control. This should not be rocket science. Every one of us knows what happens when you live beyond your means.
And yet, because of the failure of previous state leaders, Medicaid has been an utter disaster, racking up huge deficits and sucking money from other state priorities, such as our schools and universities, bridges and roads and public safety. Just last year, we were forced to fill a $500 million hole in the state Medicaid budget. That wasn't just a one-time occasion. It's become an annual exercise in banging our heads against the wall. And now we're talking about expanding it?
One lesson I learned early on is that the first rule when you're in a hole is to stop digging. So let's put down the shovel. Rather than gamble with taxpayer money to double down on failure, let's focus on fixing what we already have. The Ferrari can wait.

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba)

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba)
Natural Standard® Patient Monograph, Copyright © 2013 (www.naturalstandard.com). All Rights Reserved. Commercial distribution prohibited. This monograph is intended for informational purposes only, and should not be interpreted as specific medical advice. You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about therapies and/or health conditions.
Ginkgo biloba has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Today, it is one of the top-selling herbs in the United States.
Ginkgo is used for the treatment of numerous conditions, many of which are under scientific investigation. Available evidence demonstrates ginkgo's efficacy in the management of intermittent claudication, Alzheimer's/multi-infarct dementia, and "cerebral insufficiency" (a syndrome thought to be secondary to atherosclerotic disease, characterized by impaired concentration, confusion, decreased physical performance, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, and anxiety).
Although not definitive, there is promising early evidence favoring the use of ginkgo for memory enhancement in healthy subjects, altitude (mountain) sickness, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), age-related eye disorders, and the reduction of chemotherapy-induced end-organ vascular damage.
The herb is generally well tolerated, but due to multiple case reports of bleeding, it should be used cautiously in patients on anticoagulant therapy and those with known blood clotting disorders, or prior to some surgical or dental procedures.

These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Claudication (painful legs from clogged arteries)Numerous studies suggest that Ginkgo biloba taken by mouth causes small improvements in claudication symptoms (leg pain with exercise or at rest due to clogged arteries). However, ginkgo may not be as helpful for this condition as exercise therapy or prescription drugs. | A |
Dementia (multi-infarct and Alzheimer's-type)Overall, the scientific literature does suggest that ginkgo benefits people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia, and it may be as helpful as acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drugs such as donepezil (Aricept®). Well-designed research comparing ginkgo to prescription drug therapies is needed. | A |
Cerebral insufficiencyMultiple clinical trials have evaluated ginkgo for a syndrome called "cerebral insufficiency." This condition, more commonly diagnosed in Europe than the United States, may include poor concentration, confusion, absentmindedness, decreased physical performance, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, and anxiety. It is believed that cerebral insufficiency is caused by decreased blood flow to the brain due to clogged blood vessels. Some research has reported benefits of ginkgo in patients with these symptoms, but most have been poorly designed and without reliable results. | B |
Acute hemorrhoidal attacksIn early research, ginkgo was shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoidal attacks. Further research is needed to confirm these results. | C |
Age-associated memory impairmentAge-associated memory impairment (AAMI) is a nonspecific syndrome, which may be caused by early Alzheimer's disease or multi-infarct dementia (conditions for which ginkgo has been shown to have benefit). There is preliminary research showing small improvements in memory and other brain functions in patients with AAMI, although some studies disagree. Better studies are needed before a firm conclusion can be made. | C |
Altitude (mountain) sicknessA small amount of poorly designed research has reported benefits of ginkgo for the treatment of altitude (mountain) sickness. Additional research is needed before a firm conclusion can be made. | C |
AsthmaGinkgo may reduce symptoms in patients with asthma. More research is needed to make a firm conclusion. | C |
Cardiovascular diseaseAnimal and limited human data suggest a role in heart blood flow. More research is needed in this area. | C |
Chemotherapy side effects reductionIn limited human research, ginkgo has been examined in addition to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the treatment of pancreatic and colorectal cancer, to measure possible benefits on side effects. At this time, there is a lack of conclusive evidence in this area. | C |
Chronic venous insufficiencyResearch is unclear in this area. However, a multi-ingredient product called Ginkor Fort® may aid in the treatment of patients with lower limb chronic venous insufficiency. Further research is needed, and firm conclusions cannot be made at this point. | C |
Cocaine dependenceIt is not clear whether ginkgo is helpful in treating cocaine dependence. More research is needed. | C |
Cognitive performance (in patients with multiple sclerosis)Based on human research, Ginkgo biloba in patients with multiple sclerosis may improve cognitive function. More well-designed trials are needed before a firm conclusion can be made. | C |
Depression and seasonal affective disorderPreliminary research on seasonal affective disorder (SAD) suggests that ginkgo is not effective in preventing the development of winter depression. Other research in elderly patients with depression shows possible minor benefits. Overall, there is not enough evidence to form a clear conclusion. | C |
Diabetic nephropathyResearch is unclear in this area. Ginkgo may help improve some laboratory parameters associated with diabetic nephropathy, but more research is needed to make a firm conclusion. | C |
DyslexiaGinkgo is traditionally used for improved memory or cognition and research supports a possible use for patients with dyslexia. More research is needed in this area. | C |
Gastric cancerGinkgo biloba exocarp polysaccharide (GBEP) capsule preparation has been studied for upper digestive tract malignant tumors of middle and late stages, with positive results. However, further research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
GlaucomaIt is not clear if ginkgo may improve intraocular pressure and blood flow in patients with glaucoma. Some study results conflict or have not been significant. Further research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
Graves' diseaseGinkgo may decrease damage to cells caused by radioiodine therapy in patients with Graves' disease. Further research is needed. | C |
Macular degenerationPreliminary research suggests that ginkgo may improve eye blood flow, although it remains unclear if macular degeneration is significantly affected by ginkgo. More research is needed in this area before a conclusion can be drawn. | C |
Memory enhancement (in healthy people)It remains unclear if ginkgo is effective. Further well-designed research is needed, as existing study results conflict. | C |
Mood and cognition in post-menopausal womenIt remains unclear if ginkgo is effective for mood and cognition improvement. Further well-designed research is needed, as existing research has reported conflicting evidence. | C |
Multiple sclerosisBased on laboratory research, it has been suggested that ginkgo may provide benefit in multiple sclerosis (MS). Human research is limited to several small studies, which have not found consistent benefit. Additional research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)Initial research has not shown any effect of Ginkgo on peripheral artery disease. More studies are needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
Premenstrual syndromeInitial research in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or breast discomfort suggests that ginkgo may relieve symptoms, including emotional upset. Further well-designed research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
Pulmonary interstitial fibrosisBased on early research, ginkgo may be effective in treating pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Further research is needed to confirm these results. | C |
Quality of lifeEarly studies suggest that ginkgo may aid in quality of life. More randomized controlled trials are needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
Raynaud's diseaseResults from one clinical trial suggest that Ginkgo biloba may be effective in reducing the number of attacks in patients suffering from Raynaud's disease. In order to confirm these results, further clinical trials are required. | C |
Retinopathy (diabetes mellitus type 2)Early research suggests that Ginkgo biloba extract may offer benefit to individuals with retinopathy. Further clinical trials are required to determine efficacy . | C |
SchizophreniaBased on its proposed antioxidant effects, ginkgo has been studied in the treatment of schizophrenia. Although early research is promising, there is currently not enough scientific evidence to make a firm conclusion. | C |
Sexual dysfunctionGinkgo has been used and studied for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in men and women. In general, the studies were small and not well designed. Additional research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
StrokeLaboratory studies suggest that ginkgo may be helpful immediately following strokes, because of possible antioxidant or blood vessel effects. However, initial study of ginkgo in people having strokes found a lack of benefit. Further research is needed in this area. | C |
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)There is conflicting research regarding the use of ginkgo for tinnitus. Additional well-designed research is needed in order to resolve this controversy. | C |
VertigoA small amount of poorly designed research has reported benefits of ginkgo for the treatment of vertigo. Additional research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
VitiligoEarly research using oral Ginkgo biloba extract has reported that ginkgo appears to arrest the progression of this disease. Better-designed studies are needed to confirm these results. | C |
Mental performance (after eating)The results of one study investigating the effect of Ginkgo biloba on postprandial mental alertness are unclear. Ginkgo may benefit some but not all endpoints. Further clinical trials are required before conclusions can be made. | D |
A Strong scientific evidence for this use
B Good scientific evidence for this use
C Unclear scientific evidence for this use
D Fair scientific evidence against this use (it may not work)
F Strong scientific evidence against this use (it likely does not work)
Uses based on tradition or theory
The below uses are based on tradition or scientific theories. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Acidosis, adaptogen, aging, alcoholism, allergies, angina, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiparasitic, antirheumatic, antitumor, anxiety, arthritis, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autoimmune disorders, bladder disorders, blood clots, blood vessel disorders, body fat reducer (cellulite), brain damage, breast disease, breast tenderness, bronchitis, cancer, cataracts, chest pain, chilblains (inflammation of toes, fingers, ears, or face with exposure to cold), chronic rhinitis, colorectal cancer, congestive heart failure, contraceptive, cough, cyanosis, degenerative diseases (prevention), dermatitis, diabetes, digestion, dizziness, dysentery (bloody diarrhea), eczema, edema, encephalopathy (circulatory), expectorant, fatigue, fibromyalgia, freckle-removing, genitourinary disorders, headache, hearing loss, heart attack, hepatitis B, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypoxia (lack of oxygen), immunomodulator, insomnia, labor induction, menstrual pain, migraine, mouth cancer, respiratory tract illnesses, scabies (ginkgo cream), seizures, sepsis, skin sores (ginkgo cream), spermicide, sports performance, swelling, stress, traumatic brain injury, ulcer (trophic lesions), ulcerative colitis, vaginal dryness, varicose veins, vision (color).
The below doses are based on scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion. Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and safety and effectiveness may not be proven. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
Adults (over 18 years old)
Traditional recommendations include ginkgo products containing 24% flavoglycosides (also called flavone glycosides or flavones) and 6% terpenes: 80-240 milligrams of a 50:1 standardized leaf extract daily, or 3-6 milliliters of a 40 milligram per milliliter liquid extract in 2-3 divided doses, or 30-40 milligrams of extract in a tea bag, prepared as a tea, for at least 4-6 weeks. There is a lack of evidence in support of the clinical benefit of small concentrations of ginkgo found in fortified foods. All doses above are oral unless otherwise stated. Beneficial effects may take 4-6 weeks to appear. Ginkgo seeds are potentially toxic and should be avoided. The intravenous ginkgo product Tebonin®, which was available in Germany, was removed from the German market due to significant adverse effects.
40-240 milligrams of extract, tincture, or powder has been taken by mouth daily, divided into two or three doses. Beneficial effects may take 4-6 weeks to appear. Patients have also been treated with intravenous ginkgo preparations: 0.7 milligrams of intravenous extract per minute for 120 minutes; 100 milligrams of ginkgo in 500 cubic centimeters of normal saline, administered twice daily; 20 milliliters of ginkgo in 250 milliliters of normal saline daily for four weeks; and 200 milligrams of EGb 761 infusion for 10 days, followed by a twice-daily oral dose of 80 milligrams for 12 weeks.
Children (under 18 years old)
Dyslexia : A single 80 milligram dose of EGb 761 daily for an average of 34.4 days.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects.
Allergy or hypersensitivity to Ginkgo biloba or members of the Ginkgoaceae family may occur. A severe reaction, called Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which includes skin blistering and sloughing-off, has been reported with use of a combination product. There may be cross-sensitivity to ginkgo in people allergic to urushiols (mango rind, poison sumac, poison ivy, poison oak, cashews), and an allergic cross-reaction has been reported in a person allergic to poison ivy.
Side Effects and Warnings
Overall, ginkgo leaf extract (used in most commercial products) appears to be well tolerated in most healthy adults at suggested doses for up to six months. Minor symptoms, including headache, nausea, and intestinal complaints have been reported.
Ginkgo may be unsafe in children.
Ginkgo may increase the risk of stroke.
Ginkgo may theoretically affect insulin and blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Serum glucose levels may need to be monitored by a healthcare professional, and medication adjustments may be necessary.
There have been uncommon reports of dizziness, stomach upset, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle weakness, loss of muscle tone, restlessness, racing heart, rash, and irritation around the mouth with the use of ginkgo. There is a case report of "coma" in an elderly Alzheimer's patient taking trazodone and ginkgo, although it is not clear that ginkgo was the cause.
Ginkgo may decrease blood pressure, although there is one report of ginkgo possibly raising blood pressure in a person taking a thiazide diuretic ("water pill").
High concentrations of ginkgo may reduce male and female fertility.
Contamination with the drug colchicine has been found in commercial preparations of Ginkgo biloba .
Bleeding has been associated with the use of ginkgo taken by mouth, and caution is advised in patients with bleeding disorders or those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. Ginkgo should be stopped prior to some surgical or dental procedures. Reports of bleeding range from nose bleeds to life-threatening bleeding in several case reports. In some of these reports, ginkgo has been used with other agents that may also cause bleeding.
Eating fresh ginkgo seeds is potentially deadly, due to the risk of tonic-clonic seizures and loss of consciousness.
Ginkgo may affect the outcome of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Adverse effects on the eyes have also been reported.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Use of ginkgo is not suggested during pregnancy and breastfeeding, due to the lack of reliable scientific study in this area. The risk of bleeding associated with ginkgo may be dangerous during pregnancy.

Forget the cider, fetch the whores and pour the kegs - tonight, we dine in heaven!
can't wait for GT, seems like a rip off having a prologue version though. Do they have the list of cars?
They always do Prologue versions and people always buy them. En masse. Go figure.
I honestly don't remember a prologue, been playing GT on PS1 and PS2. I didn't buy the last GT version though.
Probably not but I didn't get GT4, by the time that came out I wasn't playing on my PS2 that much.
The was only a prologue for GT4 There was however a GT concept aswell GT looks nice, but they really need to sort the gameplay issues. The main one being able to go into a corner at 100mph and using other cars as a buffer.
I'm sure my brother told me, earlier in the week, that though Prologue would not, GT5 has had damage confirmed?On GT4 that gave a time penalty for heavy shunts, but damage is the one that'll really bring the game forward.
It was nice to play anyway, I'd buy it if it was cheap enough. They're offering it as a PSN download, too.
Yeah I have downloaded this from the PSN. Have I downloaded the prologue? Or a demo of the prologue?
GTHD? That's a demo- about 10 cars, one track, no 2 player... it's been out for ages as well (April at least), so the final game/s should look much better than that demo.
Well that has got me excited. Thought it looked pretty good, and yeah it was the GT:HD demo. Wasn't sure tho as it was under 'Games' on the PSN, rather than 'Demos'.Confusing.
I want Gran Turismo to be a good racer, because I did enjoy the 1st game and despite my niggles I have always gone back to each sequel.....But now it isn't a case of just picking it up. This time GT will have to make me warrant a brand new console....I am not sure looking at the recent video's or hearing other opinions that it can do that.
I take it this is PS3 only?
OVER 40 CARS! WOOOOHOO.. wait, that's not good enough.wonder how many will be in the full game?
So is this THE Gran Turismo 5.Or do we have to wait another year or so for the full version to be out?
Will this one be released on PS2 ? I can't afford a PS3 at the moment

Cara Mia Trattoria Italiana
Online Reservations
Very reasonably priced for the very high-end food and service. Everything we tried was delicious!
This is a very well run restaurant with some of the best Italian food in Miami and at reasonable prices especially for South Beach
Great casual dining!! Excellent prices, yummy salads, pasta, risottos and meats! Extraordinary chocolate mousse!! We went with our 10 year old daughter and she was happy with her pasta dish and dessert! Maybe not appropriate for children who expect to run around! Too nice of a place for that! :) we will be back!
This place is a true gem! We have traveled througout the US and Europe and this place was authentic. There is no pretentiousness here. As a party of 6, we each ordered something different and were all very pleased. The San Marzano pasta dish was excellent, simply done right. Our 17 year old son is not a fan of Italian food and ordered the ribeye steak, which was of very good quaity and cooked exactly as he wanted it, without the pricey steakhouse cost. The lasagna was savory, and the seafood was fresh. Last but not least, the staff was friendly and attentive.
Care Mia is an excellent local place for reasonable Italian fare. They should offer more fish specials. There were a few errors due to language so order clearly and carefully.
Small, tastefully decorated. We has great service and the food was outstanding. The calamari frita was especially.
Overall amazing experience. Food was delicious. Service amazing. Prices awesome. We were fortunate to enjoy their early bird menu due to we had a show to follow dinner. But not was the price awesome but the choices given were delicious. Really looking forward to eating here again soon.
As we walked up we were a bit apprehensive as the restaurant looked very small from the outside. We were pleasantly surprised when we entered. Greeted by a hostess and immediately guided to our table. We did not drink as my husband does not drink wine. That was fine as they brought us a carafe of ice water and great bread. Ordered the calamari which came out hot and delicious. For our entrees I had the seafood over pasta special which was cooked in parchment paper. Delicious! My husband the lamb shank which he said was falling off the bone. If you are in the neighborhood, it is a South Beach treasure as it is very reasonably priced.
Food was great and very reasonably priced especially for Miami. Would recommend to others and will definitely be going back!
The restaurant is quaint, with fantastic service, food, and ambiance. We were a party of 6 with some of us late due Miiami traffic; we were not rushed, staff very accommodating and friendly! Food is authentic Italian Great choice! Will definitely be back!
Went for Mother's Day...chose Casa Mia based on other reviews, and boy were we NOT disappointed! The service was exceptional, and the food was outstanding. You can't beat the $15 bottomless Mimosa's for brunch!
I used two sites to find a moderately priced but well rated place for our family dinner of six people. Cara Mia was as good as all the other ratings had claimed. We were given a nice round table in the back corner. A specialty of scallop risotto was totally enjoyed by two of our members. My husband and I chose to split an entree and salad and that was plenty of food for the two of us. Everyone could talk easily that night, but the rain storm probably did keep the crowds away. The two waiters were very pleasant and informed about their menu. We had to flag them down a time or two when things were busy, but then they came by quickly to see to our needs. If I lived in South Beach, I could see myself coming back here quite often.
Cara Mia is located on 1040 Alton Road. It looks unassuming from the street where road works are being done but entering the restaurant is a surprise. The place is narrow and long but beautifully designed. We went there twice within one week during our stay in South Beach and left thinking we've found a gem. The food was excellent (and reasonably-priced) ; the portions pretty generous; and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It is a shame Cara Mia is not as crowded as it should be. Its location is perfect for neighborhood residents but not so good for visitors on the ocean side. But it is a trip worth taking.
Solid reliable cooking, efficient friendly service and fair prices make Cara Mia a winner. Only complaint was the red wine served warm but that was easily remedied by a bucket of ice.
My husband and I both enjoyed our meals. Service was also great. Definitely recommend!
My husband and I have dined at Cara Mia twice this summer. We are locals and dine out every weekend. Both times the food was very good. Carpaccios are excellent. I had the nightly special which was snapper livornese and it was fresh and perfectly cooked. My husband had the lamb shank with risotto and he also thought it was excellent . Our server was knowledgable and no attitude. Prices are reasonable. A neighborhood gem.
The food was spectacular!! Pasta al dente!!! Prices very affordable. I recommend this restaurant
I went to brunch with a group of friends and we had an amazing time (as I always do at Cara Mia)! Of course, with Cara Mia being one of the few spots left with bottomless mimosas and bellinis for $15, you can't go wrong with this place! Our glasses were never left empty so the bottomless is truly bottomless. Everyone enjoyed their food--between the 9 of us we ordered most of the brunch menu and they were all delicious. The servers and owner are the most attentive I've seen in Miami and it keeps me coming back to this place. We have designated this as our new regular brunch spot and you should too! I definitely recommend Cara Mia to anyone and everyone local or visiting wanting a delicious, affordable and enjoyable Sunday brunch!
My husband and I loved this restaurant. Very authentic Italian from the staff to the wine to the food. We did the Prix Fixe menu which included wine or beer, salad, entree & dessert for $35. Quite the bargain especially for the quality of the food. It was outstanding. My mushroom risotto was luscious and delicious. My husband had the lasagna which he also enjoyed. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
This is a true gem in South Beach. True trattoria ambience. Great vibe. Attentive waiters. Delectable pasta . Fab prices. La Dolce Vita!
We love this place. First time we had brunch here. It was amazing, fabulous frittata, great service, bottomless mimosa.
Nice quite place with great food, great service and fair pricing
Cara Mia has a new brunch menu which I love! They kept 3 brunch menu items off of the old menu and added quite a few new items. I had the Eggs Benedict which was delicious! My friends tried some of the other menu items and also enjoyed their meals. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the new items as Cara Mia has become our regular brunch spot. They're opening the patio in 2 weeks which we are really excited about! Definitely try this place if you love good quality food and amazing service :)
Food was great, staff were very friendly and courteous. We really enjoyed our dinner and will go back next time we're in Miami. To top everything off the prices were very reasonable. All around a great restaurant.
This place has excellent food, and reasonable prices for South Beach. Great ambiance if you want to chat. NOT your typical South Beach spot (its better)
This is a real neighboorhood gem. I chose it because all the internet reviews were positive and deservedably so. Gigi, the new owner is wonderful and engaging. Can't miss here!

Posted: Jan 22, 2013 2:11 PM
Updated: Jan 22, 2013 2:32 PM
The following is a release from the Arizona Attorney General:
PHOENIX - A 26 year-old Colorado City woman who was compelled into marriage at the age of 14 by FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, and held against her will for more than 10 years has been granted temporary custody of her six children and left the community, Attorney General Tom Horne announced today.
Ruby Jessop was granted temporary custody of her six children and was able to leave Colorado City earlier this month. Her departure was made possible because Mohave County Sheriff's Deputies have a greater presence in Colorado City to provide law enforcement protection.
$420,000 for added patrols by Deputies was made available by Horne to Mohave County in 2012.
"It is unacceptable that anyone would be married against her will and forced to live in a community in which she feels unsafe, " Horne said. "Ruby Jessop was forced into marriage by FLDS leader Warren Jeffs who compelled her to marry her second-cousin Haven Barlow in 2001.
Her exact whereabouts were unknown for years until very recently when she was able to escape the town. Because of the $420,000 I made available from this office to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, and which the Board authorized for Sheriff Tom Sheahan, more Deputies are now working in Colorado City. Those Deputies were instrumental in making sure that Ruby and her young children could safely leave."
In 2001, Ruby's sister Flora Jessop approached the Attorney General's Office complaining that her sister Ruby, who was then 14, was being held against her will in homes in Colorado City and Hilldale Utah. Arizona and Utah officials launched a major effort at that time to find Ruby, but she could not be found. It was only weeks ago that she finally escaped Colorado City.
Flora Jessop left the FLDS Church in 1986 and has been working to tell Ruby's story to the public. She is also helping others who want to escape from Colorado City.
"Since taking office in 2011, I have worked to have legislation passed that would ensure proper professional law enforcement is available in Colorado City. One reason is to make sure that people like Ruby can leave if they want to do so," Horne added. "While I will continue that effort in the legislature, making nearly half a million dollars available to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office was absolutely crucial in getting Ruby Jessop to safety.
There are more people like Ruby in Colorado City, and these funds will run out in approximately six months. Therefore, I urge Arizonans to contact their legislators and ask them to support a bill that would authorize Mohave County Sheriffs Deputies to do the policing in Colorado City rather than the local marshals who are under the control of the dominant church."
Horne concluded, "I want to thank Sheriff Tom Sheahan and the Board of Supervisors for their dedication to public safety throughout Mohave County, including Colorado City. I also want to recognize the efforts of Victoria Stazio, who is representing Ruby and has done tremendous legal work to get Ruby temporary custody of her children."

Killer Sock Tan
29 July 2005
Working as a zoo keeper can have its benefits and negatives. One of the negatives would have to be developing (and living with) the dreaded sock tan. For people who are unfamiliar with the sock tan, here is the definition: a sock tan occurs due to the constant wearing of socks and boots. It is when your foot and ankle are whiter then the rest of your leg, which is nicely tanned from the sun. This creates the illusion that you are always wearing white socks.While at work this sock tan is not a problem as it is not noticed, however after work or on days off this dreaded and obvious circumstance can be quite an embarrassment. Many a time we have received the weird and mocking eye of people as we walk through shopping centres wearing thongs and shorts, forgetting that this look of our nicely tanned legs and ghostly white feet can be quite strange to many people.
When keepers are lucky and go on holidays they usually will spend many hours at the beach with their feet pointing high into the sun hoping that they will tan. However give them a couple of days at work and that good old sock tan will soon be back – it's as if the socks suck the colour right out of your skin!
Many people will tell you that having a sock tan is very embarrassing and annoying. But I can tell you that none of us would give up a job that allows us to spend nice sunny days out in the fresh air looking after the wonderful animals that we have, even if it does mean our feet resemble the phantom presence of feet that once were.
(Volunteers – don't be scared of the sock tan, we still need you!)

Anyone here seen Shaider? Very popular Metal Hero series in the Philippines, I might add.
Anyone here seen Shaider? Very popular Metal Hero series in the Philippines, I might add.
And one of the three shows used for VR Troopers source footage.
First episode, including intro.

^^ Yep. SO popular it inspired a very Adaptation Decayed- local work.
And yes, it was the source for Ryan's S2 footage.
0:46 in the video clip, there's a giant mecha. Would've been cool to see that alongside one of the Megazords if MMPR and VRT had ever teamed up! Would've had to be MMPR season 2 style spliced footage or US made though...
I remember some of this series, wasn't it the oldest series Saban ever adapted?
Love the space sheriffs. I think Sharider was the only one of the three to have no connection to the others. LoL. It's been awhile since I've seen the series. RIP Hiroshi Tsuburaya.
I wish we could have had a special movie featuring all the space sheriffs coming together to fight an Enemy.
I thought there was a movie with Gavan, Sharivan and Shaider working together to fight one enemy.
Wasn't that a game? "The space sheriff spirits"?

The 18-hole course at Rainbow Golf Club takes players careening across a 6,287-yard layout carved into the foothills of the Northern Catskill Mountains. Players rip tee shots from one of five sets of tees per hole, allowing for an enjoyable yet challenging round for greenhorns to green-jacket holders. As rental carts transport players across the well-manicured landscape, they must take care to avoid tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and feral caddies looking to stock up on golf balls for winter's hibernation. The course's signature hole is the 13th, a 135-yard, par 3 that forces golfers to carry their tee shot over water onto an island green, the only known island in New York. A pro shop, practice facilities, and a restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the course all provide entertainment when golfers aren't practicing their postputt struts.
Course at a Glance:
Situated at the foot of the Ellenville Mountain site, Mountain Wings has readied students for safe, engine-free flying since 1981. A staff of USHPA-certified instructors shares much of its knowledge on the facility's two training hills—a grassy, gently sloped concave for beginners, and a 180-foot hill used by intermediate gliders and a handful of pretty insane paper-airplane competitors. Sprinting, stumbling, and hovering across those hills, groups practice with Condors—slow-flying, easy-to-handle training gliders that work in zero-wind zones. Upon ascending to greater heights and skill levels, students can also snag their own equipment at Mountain Wings' full-service aero-sports shop.
The fastidiously maintained slopes of Maple Ski Ridge beckon outdoor adventurers throughout the snowy season, readying skiers and snowboarders with lessons, equipment rentals, and day and season passes. On the lodge's four hills, instructors from the Schenectady Ski School guide budding snow pilots of all ages through the basics of skiing, snowboarding, and snowman combat, and the Burton Learn to Ride system assists new snowboarders in mastering downhill skills with specialized equipment. Inside a comfortable lodge, a crackling fire warms extremities and light fare and hot cocoa warm insides as outside, skiers sail down full-sized hills, try their hands at stunts on the terrain park, or glide up and down bunny hills courtesy of a surface tow. The lodge's dedicated staff supplements any meager precipitation with snow machines and bags full of frozen marshmallows, and all slopes undergo daily maintenance.
The 2013 Schoharie County Sunshine Fair is a weeklong celebration of farm life and summertime. This year's entertainment lineup includes everything from tractor pulls and monster trucks in the grandstand to live music and dancing every night in the party tent. By day, kids and adults can traverse the grounds to enjoy Rosaire's pig races, a petting zoo, juggling demonstrations, and the works of Brian Ruth, a chainsaw sculptor. The fair's parade, which takes place on Wednesday, July 31, at 6:30 p.m., will be led by the Beekman Boys, Schoharie County natives and winners of the The Amazing Race.
Gelston Castle Estate is the Northeast's premier concert and event destination, presenting world-class music and exhibitions on a beautiful 330 acre estate overlooking the Mohawk Valley in upstate New York. The natural beauty, panoramic view and historic hospitality make for an unequalled concert experience.
Along the main stretch at Hilltop Paintball, one recalls the Old West while spying the silhouettes of two cowboys leaning against wooden structures and dangling signs swinging in the wind before a camo-clad anachronism emerges from behind a wagon wheel. The stranger locks and loads a paintball marker before hightailing it to one of seven terrains with scenario games, such as Alien Planet and speedball. In order to win matches, he and his teammates must navigate obstacles, including stacks of logs, hay bales, and clones of Barney Fife. In airsoft matches, they play a paint-free game with similar principles to paintball, and an onsite target range gives them a chance to hone their aim. To shake it up, they can practice putting at an 18-hole mini-golf course, try their hands at Nerf Dart Tag, or refuel at the barbecue and picnic area. The facility also accommodates larger groups for special events such as corporate outings and birthdays with custom packages, and a private party tent is available with advance reservations.
Color Me Rad stages 5K races that transform runners into mobile rainbows by launching cheerful barrages of colored cornstarch. Each color station along the racetrack flings a new, nontoxic pigment at passersby, who wear white shirts to enhance the chromatic onslaught's costuming effects. Brilliant neon-blue, green, purple, and yellow clouds dapple participants along the way, and the race concludes with a prismatic finish-line finale as sprinters chuck colors at each other in celebration. The race's noncompetitive credo shifts the emphasis from speed to silliness, and a portion of its proceeds go to local charities.
Upon registration, each runner collects a Color Me Rad T-shirt, sunglasses, sponsor gifts, and a race bib. Though they don't receive a gift packet, runners younger than 8 years old can sprint for free, provided they have a waiver signed by a guardian and won't give in to demands for gold from confused leprechauns.

*Sorry mods - feel free to merge this with "The PS3 RBN 2.0 Songs Request Thread." Haven't been on the forums in a while, so my fault for missing this before I posted*
I was really excited when I saw ABR was the featured artist a month or two ago, and I figured that greatly improved the chances of getting their DLC on PS3. Just wondering if that's in the works or not. Any word?
It makes me wish I would have gone with the Xbox version that much more. With all the DLC I have now, it's impractical, but it's somewhat torturous to sit around waiting for great bands on RBN to be migrated over to the PS3.

University of Newcastle postgraduate student Gabrielle Briggs will this week compete in the final of the Trans-Tasman Three Minute Thesis competition.
In just 180 seconds, the biochemistry PhD student will explain her research into the cause of Parkinson's Disease. She is part of a competition that encourages postgraduate students to explain their complex ideas in lay terms.
After winning the regional competition held at the University of Newcastle in August, Ms Briggs will now compete against postgraduate students from across Australia and New Zealand at the final, to be held today (21 September) at the University of Queensland.
"There can be a fine line between simplifying your work and dumbing it down so I removed the scientific jargon and kept well-known words such as gene and enzyme," Ms Briggs said of her presentation.
"I will concentrate on keeping a flow of logic so that I don't lose the audience's attention."
If she wins Ms Briggs, will receive $5,000 to support her research. For more information on the competition visit the Three Minute Thesis page.

An annual membership grants floral devotees unlimited visits with up to three guests, discounts for seasonal concerts held on the grounds, invitations to exclusive lectures and events, and rock-cultivation lessons in the Japanese Garden.
William Wilson Corcoran believed in American artists at a time when most collectors bought only European paintings. The financier-turned-philanthropist made friends with masters such as Thomas Doughty and George Inness, bought what interested him, and even opened up his home twice a week so the public could view his collection. And that practice was the seed which grew into the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The formal location opened in 1874 with 98 paintings and sculptures from Corcoran's personal collection. Today, that collection exceeds 16,000.
The focus on 18th- to 20th-century American artists such as Mary Cassatt and Andy Warhol remains—but that doesn't mean the gallery has blinders on. It also holds works by European luminaries such as Pablo Picasso and Edgar Degas. The collection even extends into decorative art such as the Salon Doré, an 18th-century French period room once housed in Paris's Hôtel de Clermont.
In the same way the Corcoran Gallery extends beyond American art, it pushes its purpose beyond simply displaying masterpieces. Year-round events include lectures from prominent critics as well as live performances and wine mixers. The Corcoran even nurtures the next generation of talent with after-school and weekend classes that teach students how to draw everything from landscapes to landscapes covered with bowls of fruit.
Over the past 20 years, Greenworks has become a premiere source of exquisite floral creations for the Washington social, corporate, wedding, hospitality, and convention markets. We provide world-class floral design to the finest hotels, private clubs, corporations, embassies, and restaurants in the metropolitan area.
The young Italian tenor trio Il Volo impresses audiences with pitch-leaping vocal performances rich in three-part harmonies. Performing renditions of classic Italian songs as well as material penned by contemporary songwriters, the teenage opera singers showcase budding international appeal and the promise of a bright future that consists of crooning crowds and autographing customs slips at airports. Opening act Ethan Bortnick, a 10-year-old piano prodigy known as the youngest entertainer to headline his own concert tour and attempt to purchase a monster truck, starts out the night with original piano compositions as well as recognizable classics.
Wine & Food Festival
The inspiring trainers at each MetaBody location lead troops of workouteers in results-oriented workouts several times weekly. Sweat sessions utilize a variety of exercises and disciplines to produce full-body results in a supportive environment, ideal for beginners and hard-core core-hardeners alike. During any class, motivational instructors will use the instinctual distrust of routine to their advantage. Begin a day of litigating with a refreshing early-morning boot-camp session, or wind down by burning evidence and pounds with a late-evening yoga class. Muscles are kept guessing with new and challenging moves during each session, so participants never fall into a boring, ineffective routine, such as regular teeth brushing. In addition to the fitness classes, students receive a success guide to help prepare for imminent pound loss, a nutrition guide, and a $100 gift certificate for individual coaching. Because the pass sets a 10-class cap at any given location, roving fitness mavens can further shake up their workout regimens by vetting a series of classes or instructors that work best for them.
"Our brain is designed to realize what we wish, without any minor errors," says Dahn Yoga founder Ilchi Lee, "If you want success, it will create success. If you want happiness or health, it will create them. Anything is possible, as long as negative thoughts and emotions don't interfere." To make this challenging, yet hopeful philosophy accessible to all, Lee combined the Eastern concept of chi energy with his own brain-management system, developing a distinctive program that unlocks inner peace and sweeps up brain clutter caused by the daily stress of always having to find Waldo. Warm-up yoga maneuvers awaken muscles before 30–40 minutes of breathing, stretching, core practice, and meditation—including a signature brain-wave vibration technique that aims to calibrate mental and physical energies. Cool-down exercises ease the body back into quotidian functionality before a 10-minute teatime invites socialization among participants while bolstering pinkie endurance. Dahn Yoga is also taught at independently owned and operated franchises called Body & Brain Yoga.
Shoes by Lara festoons feminine feet in designer footgear appropriate for both everyday wear and elegant occasions. Slip toes into stylish stilettos from designers such as Nine West ($29–$69), Anne Klein ($29–$69), or Franco Sarto ($29–$59). By cushioning arches in soothing soles by Naturalizer and Easy Spirit ($39–$59) specially designed for comfort, feet can stay fashionable even on long walks to the office or Olympic long jumps to the grocery store. Toes with an eye for the upscale can opt to put this Groupon toward more indulgent heel shields with runway fashions from Jimmy Choo ($298+) or Balenciaga ($298+), and a wide range of equally opulent ankle adorners are on sale daily for smart shoppers who prefer to pair their penny loafers with a bit of penny pinching.
Fluent City's campuses train tongues in the basics and nuances of 10 languages through interactive group classes. Experienced professors introduce groups of students to vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation in French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Hebrew. Languages are divided based on students' incoming level of proficiency, and group courses run for a total of 20 hours. Although not included with the class, students can also meet with instructors in flexible private lessons tailored to each pupil's individual needs.
Students at Lazos de Amistad learn to speak Spanish more comfortably and proficiently using interactive, conversational lessons led by a team of native speakers. The four-hour Spanish-language immersion workshops help beginners, false beginners, and intermediate -level students sling Spanish sayings through role-playing, discussion of short stories, and hammering out trade agreements with Panamanian dignitaries. Workshops are tailored to the needs of individual students, and instructors take time to iron out grammatical wrinkles and reform growls into perfectly rolled r's. During class students sip on complimentary hot and cold beverages while instructors supplement lessons with information on upcoming Spanish-language concerts, plays, movies, and festivals.
On the showroom floor at Bensons Jewelers, display cases sparkle with diamonds, necklaces, watches, and charms from jewelry makers such as Reed & Barton, Elle, and Breuning. Rings missing gemstones or cursed tiaras in need of de-hexing can turn to the full service repair shop, where a jeweler with 20 years of experience fixes and restores baubles, backing all work with a six-month guarantee.
When it comes to describing Kristin Chenoweth, "multitalented" is an understatement. Overlaying a soaring voice with sparkling charisma, Chenoweth won the 1999 Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Musical and originated the role of Glinda the Good Witch in the smash Broadway hit Wicked, earning both fame as the definitive incarnation of that character and the legal right to carry an Oz passport. Her forays into television have included an Emmy win for Pushing Daisies, a stint on The West Wing, a guest appearance on Glee, and a starring role in ABC's comedy GCB. Mixing classically trained control with the ability to call up a folksy twang from her childhood in Oklahoma, Chenoweth regales audiences with heartbreaking ballads and high-energy romps.
Naan & Beyond captivates visitors with an exotic yet accessible menu of tender meat and authentic spices that waft through the air and stoke appetites. The bright-red chicken tandoori headlines a menu focused on blending speed with quality, arriving to mouths with a side of the house's mint chutney and a flavor that bursts from an overnight soak in a marinade. Not only do the chefs whip up plates of rice biryani, sweet gulab jamun, and other Southern Indian dishes, they also reconcile America's love affair with flatbread, its long-term relationship with the sandwich, and its crush on everything handheld. This is achieved with the naan and roti sandwiches, stuffed with marinated chicken tikka, shrimp tikka, or tandoori paneer tikka.
Chef Will Vivas was raised in a restaurant. His mother ran a small eatery out of their home in Venezuela, an experience that left him with a passion for culinary arts. At Recess Tapas Lounge, Chef Vivas flexes his cooking muscles and pays homage to his home country with a menu of Latin-inspired tapas dishes. He stuffs his own chorizo sausage and pairs it with double-fried green plantains, showcases pan-seared scallops on a platform of pesto risotto, and arranges chicken croquettes on small plates. When the kitchen grills cool off, a DJ heats up in the lounge with late-night tunes and games of vinyl frisbee. Patrons enjoy the food and good cheer amid the interior's colorful lighting, from the blue backlit panels on the wall to the purple bar lights and rectangular deep-red fixtures that dangle from the ceiling.
Knitting101.org operates as a nonprofit organization with the noble mission of advancing knitting as a vehicle for the greater good. The shop supports local yarn and fiber spinners, as well as local suppliers of yarn materials and tie-dyed sheep. The outfit also works with wounded soldiers, knits for military families, and promotes knitting as a therapeutic method of lowering blood pressure and coping with life-altering illnesses. During classes, needlers of all knitting levels gain the skills needed to create their own wearable art. Specialty sessions, such as Knitting for Lefties, Parent and Child Knitting, and Knitting Flowers, add a twist to the basics, while travel knitting opportunities whisk students to knit-friendly destinations such as New York City, Iceland, and France where they delve into local customs such as knitting sweaters for the Eiffel Tower.

Christie's Sees Art Market Recovery in 2009, Guarantees to Come Back
In 2009, Christie's states, sales fell to 2.1 billion pounds, a decline of 24%. For the contemporary category, which was hit worst by the art market slump, sales dropped 59% to 244.3 million pounds -- in 2007, it only took a handful of pieces to get up to this amount.
According to Edward Dolman, chief executive of Christie's, "These figures were much better than we expected." He observed to Bloomberg News, "The art market is vulnerable and we thought we'd be down 50 percent, as we were in the last recession in 1991." Christie's, along with the other major house, Sotheby's, were able to compensate for weakness in contemporary art with sales of Old Masters, wine and jewelry. Also, performance in Asia contributed to the salvaging of 2009, where average selling rates by lot gained 5% to 80% in 2009.
The Old Masters group gained 1% last year, one of only four categories to show an up-tick in 2009. The best performer, however, was the 20th Century Decorative Arts category, which posted a 149% increase, helped along by the 21.9 million euros paid for an Eileen Gray chair at the record-setting Yves Saint Laurent sale.
