Town Council mem Joseph J. Saladino [left], Kenneth S. Diamond [second from left] Salvatore R. Mosca [right] and Town Clerk Ann R. Ocker [third from left] offer a final tribute along with [fourth from left to right] Nick Hasset, Mary Ann Hassett, Carol Hassett, Mrs. Dunn, and [kneeling] Thomas Hassett with son, Sean. At opening ceremonies at Beth-page Firemen's Memorial Park, a monument from the Oyster Bay Town Board was unveiled, commemorating the park in recognition of Bethpage firemen's unselfish service to the community. The monument also pays tribute to fallen firemen Robert Hassett and Captain Joseph Dunn. In May, 1978, Dunn and Hassett were overcome by chlorine gas generated by pool chemicals in a blaze at Brothers Three on Hempstead Turnpike. Vincent Monacco, who was fire chief at the time of the tragedy, (which was senselessly caused by a disgruntled ex-employee of the pool company) recalled the day as one of Bethpage's saddest days and praised the T.O.B. for recognizing the Volunteers with this new park. Chief James Emken Jr., expressed his thanks to the Board on behalf of all of the volunteer firemen for the honor and the remembrances of Captain Dunn and firefighter Hassett. Similar comments were made by Fire Commissioners Michael Mancini, Dave Nathan and Nick Markakis. Members from the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars acted as color guards for the ceremonies. Formerly owned by the Bethpage School District, the property was donated to the Town in June, 1977, when the transfer of the property was placed on the ballot and approved by residents of the Bethpage School District. The stipulation from the School Board members was that upon the community's approval, they would donate the property to the town if the town would agree to develop it as a recreational facility for the young people of Bethpage. Four days after the tragic fire, it was agreed by the Town,1 that the park would be developed honoring all the : volunteer firemen who unselfishly give of themselves in the service of the community and in the memory of Dunn and Hassett. The proclomation presented by the Town of Oyster Bay reads as follows: WHEREAS: throughout the years volunteer firemen, and particularly those serving the Bethpage community, have daily provided invaluable and often heroic services protecting the life and property of countless residents from the ravages of fire, and WHEREAS: on May 25, 1978, two members of the Bethpage Fire Department, Captain Joseph Dunn and Fireman Robert Hassett, courageously gave their lives in the performance of their duty while fighting a fire and, in so doing, exemplified the highest standards of dedication and self-sacrifice for the benefit of others.

So the rational response to being forbidden to put a float in a parade and unable to make a go of a private club is to murder the sheriff with a bomb. Now, why didn't we all think of that?
If you buy the logic, treat yourself to a moment of awe for Ku Klux Klansman Charles Robert Barefoot Jr. of Benson, who not only thought of it, but tried to make it happen. Conspiracy-hungry, he forged ties with a Robeson County KKK chapter. He involved his own wife and son in criminal activities.
For what?
Barefoot was convicted last week of conspiring to possess stolen firearms, possessing them, soliciting a crime of violence, illegally storing explosives, distributing explosives with the intent to kill, and sharing explosives.
Because almost everyone cut a deal, no doubt remains that Barefoot tried to advance a plot to assassinate Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell. He could draw 51 years at sentencing. In a way, it doesn't matter what he draws. To the extent that the Klan even qualifies as an organization, it has failed again, in spectacular fashion, to override the rule of law.
Barefoot's schemes collapsed from the inside. Enough such well-illuminated implosions and it will become all but impossible to drag anyone, especially families, into that wacky alternate universe and pass along its life-wasting mythology.

We stayed there for 1 night. We got double private room. It was very clean and cosy. The challenge was to get there as the roads are more bike friendly. One remark:protect yourself against midges during the summer time.Strongly recommend this place to everybody who want to disconnect from the matrix.

Jesse Williams
Full name: Jesse Williams
Grey's character: Dr. Jackson Avery
Nickname: Ellen DeGeneres nicknamed him "McJustReallyReallyReallyHot" (and even had monogrammed scrubs printed just for him!)
Date of birth: August 5, 1981
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Currently residing in: Los Angeles, California
Education: Temple University, with degrees in African American Studies and Film & Media Arts
Bet you didn't know... Jesse is half Swedish!
Grey's Anatomy hunk Jesse Williams hasn't been acting long, but he's already made quite the sizzling impression. Born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Swedish mother and an African American father, Jesse earned his B.F.A. at Philly's Temple University. Okay, now prepare for your heart to melt: after graduating from college, Jesse alternated between modeling (for Kenneth Cole, among others) and teaching English at a Philadelphia high school. (He probably had to quit because his female students were underperforming. Kidding!) His first television role was a guest spot on Law & Order, which led to roles in the off-Broadway shows The American Dream and The Sandbox. A supporting role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 helped raise his visibility even more. But like so many other stars, Jesse's had his setbacks: his pilot for HBO, The Washingtonienne, wasn't picked up (despite being developed by superstar Sarah Jessica Parker), and his first starring role in the MGM horror film The Cabin In the Woods has been canceled indefinitely due to the studio's pending bankruptcy. Whoops!
In 2009, Jesse landed the recurring role of Dr. Jackson Avery in the sixth season of Grey's. His character was an instant fan favorite, so ABC upgraded him to a series regular for Season 7. Also in 2009, Jesse appeared as Rihanna's love interest in the Bajan beauty's music video for her single "Russian Roulette." Rihanna reportedly has a crush on Jesse, but even she couldn't sway him from his fiancée, Arin, who he describes as "the optimist to my pessimist — we balance each other out." Whatta romantic!

Plumas Corporation and the county's merchants should be applauded for stepping up to fill the tourism marketing void created after the visitors bureau was shut down.
At a meeting last week, they devised a plan to keep the county's popular tourism website plumascounty.org alive without relying on the county funding that was cut off in January.
While the Board of Supervisors reviews a stack of proposals to create a new — and potentially temporary — marketing website from scratch, local merchants have launched a grassroots effort to resurrect the popular and proven plumascounty.org site. And they are paying for it themselves.
In just 48 hours, the county's merchants, lodging providers and concerned citizens wrote checks for $1,600. And they said they have pledges for even more money. In two days they raised enough money to keep the site alive for a couple months.
Businesses that rely on tourism have been pleading with the supervisors to keep the website alive. They argue the county owes them at least that much for the million dollars of bed taxes they annually generate. In just a few years, the county whittled its former $250,000 contribution to the visitors bureau down to zero.
Times are financially tough right now. But we question the supervisors' wisdom of firing the county's marketing team. The cost in lost tourism revenue could eventually outweigh the immediate savings.
Many lodging providers swear by the business they get from the plumascounty.org referrals. They have the statistics to prove it.
We would like to see the county reward its citizens' effort to revive the website by providing a little financial support. Instead of spending $7,500 to build a new website from scratch, the supervisors should scrap that plan, kick in $2,500 to the plumascounty.org website and stick the other $5,000 back in the county's general fund.
The investment makes sense. First of all, the supervisors haven't committed to funding a new website past June 30. Any new website would take weeks or months to get up to speed. And the board hasn't even picked a company to build a site yet.
In reality, the county could end up paying $7,500 for a website that might only be online for a month. Why waste money on a rental car when you already have a Ferrari in the garage?
The plumascounty.org website is still online and ready to go. Lodging providers say they are still getting referrals from the site even though it hasn't been updated since January.
The supervisors justified shutting down the visitors bureau because it wasn't a county department. They said they wanted more control over the marketing website. But they also said nobody can market businesses as well as the businesses themselves. If the county's struggling tourism-related businesses value a website enough to write $100 checks to save it, the county should take note. The board should trust the community on this one and show its support.
In addition to a county contribution, we would like to see more businesses show their support. If all the lodging providers who say they have benefited from plumascounty.org would donate the equivalent of one night's stay at their place, we think it would be money well spent.
Checks should be made out to Plumas Corporation. You can reach Plumas Corporation at (530) 283-3739.

Just when you thought you'd escaped the clutches of holiday shopping madness by staying home on Black Friday, you open up your E-mail inbox to find a barrage of Cyber Monday promotions piling up.
Retailers from Banana Republic to Amazon to Target sent out E-mail blasts Monday hoping to lure consumers to spend more money online this holiday season, offering deep discounts, free shipping, and free returns.
Amazon.com launched its Cyber Monday deals at 12:01 a.m. Monday offering as much as 60 percent off a Panasonic VIERA 55-inch TV that's usually priced at upwards of $1,000. Sears is slashing prices for Maytag washers and dryers, each on sale for $399. Big-box store Walmart sent out three separate e-mails announcing deals for its so-called "super-colossal Cyber Monday" sale.
[READ: Fiscal Cliff Could Dampen Holiday Spending]
"I would say deluge for cyber Monday and Thanksgiving weekend is an understatement," Randy Allen, associate dean at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, said in an E-mail. "There are multiple E-mails coming out daily from the same retailer with the latest deal. The focus is if one E-mail did not get the buyers' attention, try another offer."
Allen cautions stores not to get too deal crazy.
"It is a tidal wave of E-mail and may backfire with the consumer if the retailers are not careful," she adds.
But as the saying goes: one person's inbox-clogging spam is another person's money-saving treasure. Thanks in large part to the stellar deals retailers offer, Cyber Monday is expected to be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row, with retailers projected to rake in a whopping $1.5 billion on Monday alone. Last year's holiday online retail sales amounted to a little more than $67 billion, and this year's holiday online retail sales are projected to be 17 percent higher—in the $79 billion ballpark.

"This is no longer chump-change by any means," Chris Christopher, an economist at financial forecasting firm IHS Global Insight, wrote in an E-mail. "And, the bricks are looking to cash in on the clicks."
Online retail sales are already outpacing other sales outlets, according to Christopher, and traditional brick-and-mortar stores have stepped up their game online in order to boost revenue, even opening up stores on Thanksgiving this year to try to compete with the 24/7 availability of online portals.
"Retailers really want to get all of that money early because it isn't like there's going to be more," Sheri Petras, CEO of consumer insight firm CFI Group. "If they don't get it now, they probably won't get it, and that's why we've seen this increase so early in the year," Petras adds, referring to the deluge of early Black Friday ads and promotions.
What retailers' balance sheets show come January will offer some perspective into the evolving holiday shopping season, a period when stores make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue, according to the National Retail Federation. With the increasing adoption of smartphones and other handheld devices such as iPads, people are relying less and less on their work computers to shop online than they did seven years ago when the term Cyber Monday was coined by Shop.org, a division of the NRF.
[PHOTOS: White House Receives Christmas Tree]
"[Cyber Monday] started when people didn't have broadband at home (or on their phones, for that matter)," Michael O'Hara, CEO of e-commerce firm Yumani, wrote in an E-mail. "They went to work and used the bandwidth there, which made this a big day. Today, Cyber Monday is merely an excuse to launch online shopping.
Now because consumers can shop anytime anywhere, the entire weekend between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday has seen a major jump in online sales activity. Sales on Thanksgiving Day, typically not a popular day for online shopping, spiked more than 30 percent over last year to $633 million, according to digital business analytics firm comScore. Black Friday, too, saw a jump with online sales eclipsing the $1 billion mark for the first time ever.
But with the growing popularity of online retail portals, retailers opening brick-and-mortar stores on Thanksgiving, and a deluge of Cyber Monday deals, the importance of holiday shopping "events" is becoming diluted, experts say. Even if Monday is the reigning victor three years running when it comes to online retail sales, it could be only a matter of time until another day usurps that title.
"Cyber Monday is not really a real event anymore," O'Hara says. "There are good deals for sure, but it is not a one day event, by any stretch of the imagination. This year, there are more deals across the net for Cyber Monday, but there also were for Black Friday, which has institutionally become a month-long event."

I have a bruised arm, scraped knee, dislocated shoulder, one friend was choked and another was pushed on the sidewalk. All of this because a friend of mine couldn't physically fit into a single file line. After my friend was called a fat guy by the bouncer downstairs he decided to leave but by then it was too late and the enraged bouncer grabbed him and threw him against the wall while the bouncer lead started to choke him. When I tried to ask the enraged bouncer his name I was lifted off the ground by the same two bouncers and physically thrown out of the door. Police were called by us but refused to fill out a formal report and were completely unhelpful, at one point even going as far as defending the bouncers and calling me a smartass.
Below-Average, boring corporate food. Its servers act like they have memorized scripts, I overheard the manager talking about her fake boobs, and the bartender took almost ten minutes to get me a drink when nearly nobody else was there (she was talking to a waitress). Not coming back.
Nothing Gay about this gay bar. Negative unfriendly bartenders seem to be the rule there. Read reviews before visiting Kansas City, unfortunately the reviews on Yelp were way off. These people must be paid to give such glowing review of this place. Not only was there a lot of attitude on the part of the staff but the place is kind of a pieced together dump. Least friendly of the places that I visited in kansas city by far....
Will never go there again!
Bartender took my debit card and said he'd open a tab. Later, he claimed I'd never given him one and had no tab.
When I tried to talk to him about it, he got pissy and accused me of yelling at him b/c I was too drunk...I'd had half of one drink, and was not yelling at all.
I paid for two more drinks with my other card, and tipped him extra to try to smooth things over.
I WAS CHARGED $31 FOR TWO DRINKS (bottom shelf) on the card he claimed he didn't have!!!
I didn't authorize payment, didn't sign anything, didn't tip anything, and reported the card lost that night, and yet SOMEHOW a mysterious disappearing tab that was supposed to be $11 became $31 on a card I never got back!
That required a forged signature!
$20 of bank fraud is still bank fraud! NEVER trust a crook to pour your drinks!
Fuck that place.
Astonished at the incredibly rude treatment of a table of customers last week. The woman who owns this place was actually shouting at them about bringing in a birthday treat. You can bring your own wine just don't bring a cupcake. Wow! Food is mediocre, service would have to rate an "F" We won't be back again.
I dined at Fo Thai with several friends. The waiter was inept from the beginning spilling wine over the entire table and one of my companions. No attempt was made to "right this situation... setting the tone for the evening. The food preparation left much to be desired (like cleaning the s.hellfish of sand and grit)...the advertised items in the dish were missing....the very expensive fish special was dry and cottony and inedible.
The manager made amends and wished us to return for a second try. Not on your life. Then an offer was made for a gift certificate. .....it has been three months. Never received. Never going back. Who wants to be fleeced again?
The one time I went there, I saw literally about 10 roaches. They were ducking in and out of the wall trim. Another customer and myself saw to dance out from under a table leg and duck back under. A lady that worked there was peeling tiger shrimp out in the restaurant on an open table right by me. While quickly paying my bill and leaving, I told the guy at the register about the roaches and he just gave me a blank look. First and last time going there.
Had several drinks and complained about them. They were weak/watered down. Drank all night, no buzz, the service was slow at best, but they sure didn't forget to charge me for any of those weak drinks!
I wanted to like this place. I had read reviews to try the ravioli and the pizza - that this place was a throw back from the 60's and had really good food. The older lady with the glasses was our waitress. There was another heavy set waitress that was sitting down by the register the whole time eating. She didn't get up from eating the whole time we were there. We arrived at 4ish on a Friday evening to an almost empty dining room. Our waitress did not smile the entire time she waited on us except to give us our check. We had to ask for refills for our drinks and bread. She "threw" our food at us and gave us bread - but no butter. And didn't come back to ask if we needed anything. She was more preoccupied with the gentleman guest that she was sitting with talking about her son that doesn't smile. I thought, if I had a mom like you I wouldn't smile either! Raviolis were mediocre and I had Spaghetti with mushrooms and a house salad. The dressing was great on the salad. The spaghetti with mushrooms was ok. I wouldn't order it again. But I'm not coming back because of the service. A 30.00 meal and you get treated like you are wasting their time. My first and last time there for sure!
Unfortunately, I had the displeasure of eating at the Wheat State Pizza in Olathe. We walked in at 5:00, ordered at 5:05 and received our pizza, which was for dine in, at 6:20. Thats right, it took 1 hour and 15 minutes for 1 large pizza. We were told when we ordered that our wait would be 10 to 15 minutes. What happened?? When we walked in to the restaurant at 5:00 pm we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. Around 5:30, others started to come in and order. While waiting, the man that I assume was the manger, offered others free drinks while they waited. We were never offered free drinks even though we waited an hour and 15 minutes. When the manager finally brought us our pizza he stated that someone placed our pizza in a to go box instead of bringing it out to us. Never did we recieve an apology for our food taking so long nor did we even get offered compensation for our horrible customer service. This place is a joke.
do no move in into these apartments.VERY UNPROFESSIONAL
VERY UNORGANIZED!!!!!!! i dont even know why they on this website.they dont handle shit!!!!
Just a bar. We went there for something different but it was nothing special. Started out with soup and it was really good . The motel advertisment said voted #1 pizza in KC. So we ordered the all meat large. BIG MISTAKE! Wow we each couldn't even finish 1 piece. It came to the table smelling like garlic. Which can be ok but after taking a bite the taste had way to much pepper and it also was only half cooked. We paid the bill but shouldnt have and left. Went to steak and shake instead. Wasted evening.
I always go to Luna. Last night I was there, I simply opened a tab and came back to find that it had been closed by someone other than myself. My card was clearly signed for by someone that did not sign my name or any name in any human language for that matter. I was yelled at and pushed out of the door and told by the manager that "I have no idea where your card is". I will never return here and I hope no one else does and has this same experience. Luna has taken no responsibility and will continue to do this to the people that support them and give them their money.

I have been going to the Falloon for years, but this is the first time I have been since Highwood Properties had some input on the renovation and menu changes took place. They have made changes to the interior and menu that were intended to make the classic sports bar and grill to appear more upscale. Some of the interior changes I don't mind but the menu changes were a hugh disapointment. Having a rueben sandwich without thousand island dressing or something similar??? The rueben comes with mustard, in my book I call that a pastromi sandwich with mustard, not a rueben! My bigest complaint, besides the complete sellout of the Falloon to what Highwood Properties excecutives want the Plaza resturants to be, is the fact that they can no longer cook an old fasion classic bacon cheese burger properly. I ordered my burger medium, it came out gray, no pink in sight, it inevietibly was very dry. The bacon was nice and thick, but hard as a rock and dry as card board, when I broke a piece off dust fell to he plate! The bun was nothing special, but sticking with the theme it was overly dry. Finally, the fries, were good, but mostly burnt up and hard. Its too bad, maybe the Falloon had no choice but to make these changes in order to stay on the Plaza, but the least they could do is hire a competent kitchen staff to maintain some level of decent food. Next time maybe I should just go to Blanc burgers or 810 Zone to get a decent burger, they didn't sell out thier menu to Highwoods, at least not yet!
I've lived in California, Florida, Atlanta and several places in between... and this place is BY FAR the worst that I've rented. The complex is very cheaply made, making it seem as though you're living in a poorly built house rather than a "brick" building. I can literally hear when my upstairs neighbor LAUGH! It's insanity. I rent as a couple, no children, yet they placed me under a kid with a kid... smh! The lease agreement is super shiesty, too, where they cover their own ass-ets very well, to say the least. I had to make a hasty move and made the worst choice possible. Currently seeking legal advice to find a way to get out of this nightmare, so don't end up in my shoes!
This place by far is the worst i've been too in years. My steak was nuked, i asked for medium and i got a well done hockey puck, my bbq chicken breast was a flimsy little piece of flash frozen chicken like the tenderbird brand with cheap ole kraft bbq sauce on it, and the worst part it was cold when i finally got my order. The ranch dressing for salads is awful as well. The servers sound like they are reading from a card and always ask if you want dessert every time they come to the table in hopes they can sell you something else. The place is over priced for the amounts you get also. I'll never go back.
Thanks for sharing LocalFoodie. I won't eat there again.
An over priced Olive Garden, with no salad, unless you spend an extra $4.00, and not all you can eat. Waitress never refilled water glasses. Very noisy environment. Waitress had poor demeanor, not what is expected for a supposedly upscale restaurant. Didn't place silverware properly, actually just threw it on the table haphazardly. When asking about a table cloth, we were told only used if you have a special occasion. A positive, food served quickly. Shoe string potatoes with salmon, cheapened the meal and presentation. Any one who thinks this is a 3-5 star place to eat has never experienced a 4 or 5 star restaurant. Service was far below par.
Will not go back.
Over-priced, medioce food, inept wait staff, watered-down drinks. Avoid like the plague.
First the food was horrible, I order the Jerk Steak , very dry I left most of it on the plate. Then the service was horrible , we waited for everything too long the waiter kept apologizing for the horrible service. At the end of the meal their POS system went down several times. My wife had to leave so we would not be late picking up our child from practice. Then they had the nerve to charge me a automatic tip of 20%. And last but not least they charged me several times because their POS system was broken and when I called them about it , they made it my responsiblity said I will have to go to my bank to get this corrected. So please don't go there Don't waste your time or money.

Cliffside Malibu: Sharing the Secrets to Real Addiction Treatment

Richard Taite didn't know if he would ever experience a normal life. Ten years ago, it was unclear whether or not he'd even survive his addiction. Addicted to cocaine, briefly homeless, living on an occasional Big Mac and not sleeping, he was constantly at war with his inner demons.
Like many addicts, Taite tried everything he knew to overcome his addiction but every effort failed. Each failure decimated the little self-esteem he still had.
In desperation, Taite surrendered himself to a sober living facility, where he was exposed to a new world of possibilities. He began seeing a therapist who introduced him to ideas about change that literally saved his life. This was the "Stages of Change" model, developed by Dr. James Prochaska and his colleagues. Taite learned, through intensive therapy, about the core issues that triggered his drug addiction. Taite took to this new life with a zeal that only a rescued man knows. He married an amazing woman who consistently inspires him to be a better man and together they created a family.
Taite decided to pay his good fortune forward. He created one of the leading and arguably one of the most effective treatment centers in the world, Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center. There, on a sprawling property overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Taite and his team of professionals help addicts attain the kind of life they only dreamed of, but didn't think was possible for them.
Building the treatment center and helping the addicts who come through its doors wasn't enough for Taite. "I operate a boutique facility. We can only help eighteen or twenty people at a time; yet there are millions of addicts who are suffering in this country alone. There are few treatment facilities that have the resources we do or the success rate we have. I wanted to get the word out that people really can recover from hopeless cases of addiction like I did. That's when I decided to write, Ending Addiction for Good."
To get the word out about his cutting edge treatment protocol, Taite teamed with friend and colleague, Constance Scharff, PhD. Scharff has a PhD in Transformative Studies in which she specialized in addiction recovery. "I became interested in addiction research because I wanted to help those with severe trauma successfully overcome their addictions," Scharff said. She should know. Before earning her PhD, she was a hopeless alcoholic with a two liter a day habit. She drank, she reports in her story in Ending Addiction for Good, to ease the pain of horrific childhood abuse and neglect. However, she too became sober using the same principles Taite used.
Taite and Scharff write that the core issues with addiction for most people come from being unable to deal with pain. This pain could stem from long held, erroneous beliefs that began in childhood or could come from traumatic events in one's adult life. Abusing alcohol or drugs is an attempt to cope with the pain these experiences cause when no other solutions seem available.
Cliffside Malibu's methods, which are detailed extensively in the book, center on helping addicts uncover and face the core issues that started their addictive process, based on the addict's level of readiness to change. Treatment is based on intensive one-on-one psychotherapy. In addition to psychotherapy, Cliffside Malibu also offers a range of holistic treatments given on a highly individualized basis. These include but are not limited to: acupuncture, massage, yoga, meditation, orthomolecular medicine, personal training, and equine therapy. Each type of treatment is given by the most highly skilled staff available. Most importantly, each member of the Cliffside Malibu staff is dedicated to the client's recovery. As Taite states, "They're here because they love what they do and never lost that."
Cliffside Malibu treats all forms of addiction and welcomes clients with co-occurring disorders. The treatment center has a successful history with treating alcoholics and also specializes in pharmaceutical addiction. As individuals are increasingly over-prescribed potent medications by doctors, Taite has been asked to provide treatment for a whole new group of addicts who might never have needed treatment in the past. Special protocols are in place to assist those recovering from prescription medication abuse and addiction.
Taite says that at the end of the day, his goal is to create a shift in his clients' hearts and heads, in which their lives are no longer driven by the anxiety and trauma of their past, but a desire to live a hopeful, contented life.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It's that all important first step in changing your life forever that Cliffside Malibu offers. Recognizing the roots of your addiction, receiving holistic treatment and intensive psychotherapy opens the gateway to a full and addiction-free life. You just need to make a simple phone call.

Even the dreary, state controlled USSR, knew the value of keeping their population, besotted. Their citizens suffered shortages of everything, except vodka. Perhaps that can explain the proliferation and availability of prescription drugs, to keep the masses sedated and dumbed down.

Spot on Ed, regarding addiction as its a thought process or thinking ,that drives the addict. I once heard that addicts are very spiritual people who crave spirituality. When they accept this and have faith in a higher,spiritual power directing their life's journey is the solution. They also may need counselling, group therapy to apply new spiritual principles involved.A lot of soul searching and changing mindsets etc.

Hi, thanks for visiting WSJ.com.
In this Oct. 7 article, we report that Verizon will begin offering Apple's iPhone in early 2011.
Click here for our latest iPhone coverage. If you're considering a switch from AT&T to Verizon, you should know about some differences between the two networks. It's not clear whether the Verizon iPhone will work in Europe or only in the U.S. Meanwhile, Verizon is exploring ways to charge more for its faster 4G network. And Verizon has already begun selling the iPad. (The white iPhone 4, by the way, is delayed until spring 2011. ) Even without Verizon, the holiday shopping season promises to be successful for Apple, which sold 14.1 million iPhones in its fourth quarter of 2010.
AT&T Inc. is about to lose its lock on the iPhone.

Walt Mossberg and Marcelo Prince discuss the possible benefits and drawbacks of having the iPhone on Verizon's wireless network, including whether it will suffer some of the same problems that have plagued AT&T. Plus, Verizon readies 4G service.
While Apple is on track to sell 40 million iPhones across the globe this year, the touchscreen handset is facing pressure in the U.S. from phones running Google's Android software, which have been heavily promoted by Verizon Wireless, the biggest U.S. carrier by subscribers.
Apple plans to begin mass producing the new iPhone by the end of the year, and it would be released in the first quarter of 2011, these people said. The phone would resemble the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T, but would be based on an alternative wireless technology used by Verizon, these people said.
The new iPhone spells the end of the exclusive arrangement that AT&T has had since 2007, when Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone. Since then, the iPhone fueled much of the AT&T's growth.
Verizon Wireless has been meeting with Apple, adding capacity and testing its networks to prepare for the heavy data load by iPhone users, according to one person familiar with the matter. The carrier is seeking to avoid the kind of public-relations hit that AT&T took when the boom in data-hungry iPhones overtaxed its network, especially in New York and San Francisco.
The iPhone is finally coming to the Verizon wireless network in the first quarter of next year. Marcelo Prince and Julia Angwin discuss.
The move would give consumers more choice in terms of networks and perhaps pricing. Verizon's network is untested in terms of whether it can withstand millions of iPhone users, but studies by Consumer Reports and others have concluded Verizon has a better network than AT&T. Verizon also still offers unlimited Internet data plans.
Apple is facing increasing pressure to find new avenues of growth in the U.S. market as most AT&T customers who wanted the iPhone have now bought them. Meanwhile, phones running Google's software—built by Motorola Inc., HTC Corp. and others—have surged this year.
Android smartphone subscribers in the U.S. reached 10.9 million as of August, from 866,000 a year earlier, according to comScore Inc., a market research firm. In comparison, there were 13.5 million iPhone subscribers at the end of August, up from 7.8 million last year, comScore says.
Separately, Apple is also developing a new iPhone model, said people briefed on the phone. One person familiar said the fifth-generation iPhone would be a different form factor than those that are currently available, said one person familiar with the new iPhone plan. It was unclear how soon that version would be available to Verizon or other carriers.

Toni Sacconaghi, a Sanford Bernstein analyst, estimates Verizon could add more than 10 million U.S. iPhone customers, adding it could help stem the rapid adoption of devices that run Android.
It was unclear whether Sprint Nextel and CDMA operators in countries such as South Korea, Japan and Latin America would get the CDMA iPhone as well.
Many Verizon customers have been clamoring for the iPhone for years. "This is the longest running tease in the history of consumer products," said Garret Bedrin, a 31-year-old Apple fan in Glen Rock, N.J., who plans to buy a Verizon iPhone as soon as it's available. "As loyal as I am to Apple, I won't leave Verizon," he said.
John Donovan, AT&T's chief technology officer, wouldn't comment on whether AT&T is losing exclusivity next year but said iPhone buyers would have reason to chose his network over Verizon's. AT&T's network lets users browse the Web while making calls, while Verizon's can't, he said.
"It's not like we sit around and don't prepare for the future," Mr. Donovan said in an interview Wednesday, noting AT&T also has compelling offerings in Android phones, as well as Research In Motion Ltd. 's new BlackBerry Torch.
AT&T has been taking steps all year to answer concerns about a loss of exclusivity, adding new phones to its lineup. It has also said more than four-fifths of its contract subscribers are on family or business plans, which make switching to a new carrier more burdensome.

Apple originally decided against developing a phone for Verizon to focus on a version based on GSM, a more prevalent mobile technology used by AT&T and most mobile operators in the world, people familiar with the decisions have said.
Verizon, in those earlier discussions, balked at Apple's requirement that Verizon not allow its retail partners to sell the phone, people familiar with the discussion said at the time. Verizon also declined to give up its ability to sell content like music and videos through its proprietary service, these people said.
This time around, Apple considered a dual-mode phone that would let users roam on GSM-based networks, one of the people briefed said.

However i do not think this tool will re-encrypt the EDAT file. You can view the usage details and download the application along with its complete SRC included below. Thanks goes out to qoobz for two very nice releases for the PS3 scene.

This application/tool will take your PS1 ISO or BIN/CUE game file(s) and create a PKG to install, This created PKG will now make that PS1 game direct boot from the XMB. This app uses the code and PS1 process from IrisManager and has modified/added some code to achieve the task of auto booting on the XMB. You also have the ability in the GUI to change name, add custom art (ICON0 and PIC1) Sound, and animated icons (ICON1.PAM) to the PKG before final creation..
Creating a PSone PKG with PS1toPS3 GUI

Most helpful review
Not what you might think, but good all the same...
By James Wright from Surrey , 14 Jan 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Do not go and watch this film expecting two hours of pioneering martial arts scenes. If you want that, rent one of the Matrix films, god knows that's all they're good for.
What you should look forward to is involving relationships and a story that is far more thoughtful and complex than you average sword-flick. Zhang Yimou, as with his previous film 'Hero', creates a breath-taking view of the part fantasy, part ledgend world in which the characters live. He also weaves intricate plotlines that provide welcome suprises throughout the film.
Finally, he does drop in the occasional bit of fisticuffs... most of which will be the most exciting and balletic sword/dagger/hand-to-hand combat scenes you will see in a cinema.
One thing he can't do though, is coax a decent performance out of his actors. Only Zhang Ziyi convinces as a blind but deadly dancer.- Was this review helpful to you?

Top notch martial arts action
By TheWatchman (755 reviews) from Suburbia , 13 Feb 2013I read a few criticisms of the House of Flying Daggers that its all style over substance. Well, its certainly stylish, but I found there to be a fair amount of substance in essentially a kick-kicky type film. Yes, its dubbed into English. Some will appreciate that, other puritans may long to see it in its native tongue. Either way, I dont think it will affect too many peoples perception of the film. Its about a subversive organisation, known as the Flying Daggers who are working to bring down the corrupt Chinese government of times past. The chief of police gets one of his best men to befriend a female member of the Daggers, in the hope that shell lead the authorities to the Daggers leader, in order to destroy them at the highest level. Nothing too new there and I wont give any more away on the story, as there may be a few twists and turns that you dont see coming. It is beautifully shot. Obviously too much for some, who cry style over substance. I dont see how people cant be taken with the scenery and costumes. Plus the fight scenes (of which there are certainly many!) are amazingly choreographed. The film runs for nearly two hours, but Im pleased to say that it doesnt seem that long. Theres enough drama and character development intertwined with the obligatory martial arts then mixed with a love story to give you something pretty interesting. I doubt the House of Flaying Daggers will ever become too mainstream. Ultimately, most of its audience will be those at least with a passing interest in martial arts films, but if youve watched any of them, or simply enjoyed Bruce Lees work, then give it a go. Its good fun.- Was this review helpful to you?

Don't pass it by just because it has sub-titles, its a work of art!!
By Stoorat (4 reviews) , 02 Nov 2012Needs to be watched on a large television to get the full effect.
Asked my wife if she wanted to watch a martial arts film with subtitles and she said no way.
She absolutely loved it, its dramatic, visually stimulating and has a great storyline. It is not an out and out martial arts film, its a work of art.
You'll love it and your misses will cry.
WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Well worth watching - Visually amazing - Twisted love story!!
By Lynnie26 (9 reviews) , 30 Dec 2011I wasnt keen to watch this movie as I though it would be dull, boring and consist of a lot of reading Boy was I wrong!
I really really enjoyed this movie. The dancing and fighting scenes were fabulous and the story line was gripping and captivating. The acting and camera work combined with the beautiful scenery really helped set the scene and portray this twisted love story. Im not keen on sub titles but to be honesty after the first 5 minutes I didnt realise I was reading it also there wasnt a lot of dialog.
Would highly recommend watching this and opening your mind to something a little different. Well worth a watch!- Was this review helpful to you?

By thecolumbarium (4 reviews) , 22 Nov 2011Like a ballet - elegant, dramatic, romantic and beautifully choreographed. Fantastic cinematography and with the rich and symbolic use of colour found in Hero. If you like Crouching Tiger you'll love this.- Was this review helpful to you?

Orlando is the City Beautiful right? Or is it Coral Gables? Not sure? Well neither are they!
Disagreement began when Coral Gables tried to federally trademark the slogan which would mean that Orlando would have to cease using the phrase.
Coral Gables argues that is has its gorgeous location nestled amongst a leafy setting whilst moments from the hustle and bustle of Miami proper whilst Orlando boasts that its famous Lake Eola park earns it the right to continue using the phrase.
Whilst both cities have been using the phrase for many years they both accepted the status quo which is what Orlando officials want to keep so that any city can use the slogan.
Check out the Orlando Sentinel article for the full story as well as a stunning view of Lake Eola park in beautiful Downtown Orlando.

Howard is an 84, but I bet Luongo is a 100......another NHL game with Howard letting in the worst goals ever.
yeah, it is always like this. Once I choose Red Wings 50% of time my opponents choose Vancouver while another 25% of times it is NYR.

Anyone who has freezing issues, rip the game to your hard drive. You will notice that you have about 1000% less freezing. It will take about half hour or so to put the game on your hard drive but it's worth it cause the hockey games are way too big now not to put on there.
Anyone who doesn't know how to do this (for XBox 360): From the dashboard and the home part, go onto the game as if you were going to play it. You'll notice that if you press X for game details it will go to the next screen and you select Install. Then you just wait for the 100% and away you go.

With the AI putting the dmen in the right places and the goalie anticipation and huge upgrades you should see barely any of that crap online now. Maybe we'll finally get rewarded for playing real hockey, making real hockey plays and cycling the puck. All the kids that try to dangle through the teams will have a harder time this year cause seemingly poke check will actually....well, poke check. Demo is online tomorrow and i can't wait to mess around with it. I'm getting the special edition just cause it'll look badass with my 90 or so hockey game collection, but the HUT stuff is getting annoying. Give me free NHL moments add-ons for the year instead of HUT which is the worst game mode by far cause you take 20 minutes just to finally get into a game with someone cause everyone quits before it starts and then you can only get games against guys with 95 ratings across the board.For me it was the damn glitch goals online. Still will buy the game of course!

Last years demo wasn't too bad, but the slap shots were kind of off. Once the game came out and was 100% finalized, the first version was really good. The gameplay was actually pretty good. The problem is that all the little glitch artists complain online that they can't do their move from NHL11 and whine about everything that made NHL12 seem more like playing actual hockey with less exploits they can do. The thing I really didn't like was every tuner set made the game worse and made the passes less accurate and the deking worse.The demo's always are a train wreck and should never imply how the game is going to be. Each year the demo's are absolute trash and you can pull the same shots, and then the final product comes out and its alittle better. I hope rammer didn't manage to screw this years game up also, but there's always going to be the cheese shots. It seems like you'll beable to rip shortside once again in this game once you see the goalie cheating.

My favorite was NHL 2000.
That game was fun, but I could never get over those backhanded goals scored from the blueline, where the puck was essentially chipped over the goalie's shoulder. Pissed me off each time.

Funding for clinical programs can help ensure that all those age 65 and above have access to needed services. We seek funding for several specific programs that will improve the patient experience in the Geriatrics practice. All of these programs have the potential for naming opportunities in which a legacy of your vision and philanthropy can be a source of pride and inspiration for your family, friends, colleagues and those individuals whose lives will be forever touched and improved through your generosity. 1. Home Visit Program: to provide personalized in home visits to patients who are homebound and unable to get to doctors' appointments due to their frailty or other medical conditions. Needed funding: $200,000 per year2.

Do you find yourself looking forward to that first cup of coffee in the morning? How about the next cup? If it's part of your routine to drink coffee on a regular basis, you're not alone. You also have company when it comes to concerns about the health effects of coffee — hundreds of studies have addressed coffee's effect on the body and whether or not caffeine causes harm. Perhaps you've heard it's good to drink coffee when you have a headache, or bad to drink it if you have stomach problems. So what is myth, and what is fact? Coffee's Punch The effects of coffee on the body fall into several categories:
As for the overall health risks of coffee or caffeine use, concerns have been raised by studies over the past 50 years, including an association with stomach problems, pancreatic and bladder cancer, fibrocystic breast disease and gallbladder disease, among other conditions. When rigorously analyzed, these studies fall far short of implicating modest coffee consumption as a significant health risk, even among pregnant women and cardiac patients. A review from April 2007 examined the evidence that coffee consumption might increase the risk of stomach cancer or leukemia; the data were considered inconclusive and additional study was recommended. One largely discredited study which found that coffee intake was associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, is often used as a model for how a flawed study design can lead to misleading research results. In that study, researchers analyzed a number of "exposures" among patients with pancreatic cancer, including coffee intake. Because of the number of factors examined, many scientific researchers call this sort of study a "fishing expedition." As reasonable as it may seem to examine many factors at once, the problem is that if you look at enough exposures, one or more will show an association just by chance. So there is a danger of generating misleading results if you cast too wide a net, and well-respected researchers avoid doing so, or they make statistical adjustments to account for analyzing many variables in a single study. Coffee May Be Good for You It may surprise you to learn that there are therapeutic uses of caffeine other than as a stimulant to avoid sleep (as in NoDoz, Vivarin and many others):
However, contrary to popular belief, coffee is not an effective way to reverse the effects of inebriation. For the vast majority of coffee drinkers, the news is encouraging: the health risks are minimal if present at all. There are probably rare, high-risk patients who are better off avoiding the stimulant action of caffeine or the heartburn provoked even by decaffeinated coffee. Perhaps the biggest problem of all for most coffee drinkers is its financial impact. The cost of a cup of coffee can be $3 or more at many specialty coffee shops now. It may be true that the best reasons to drink coffee or to avoid it have little to do with your health. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School.

New Christ Church music director sings a different tune
Date: June 3, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Christ Church of Longboat Key, Presbyterian, is alive with the sound of music every Sunday. But the church will have a new sound beginning Sunday, July 19, when Daniel Hoffman assumes the role of director of music.
Hoffman, who currently serves as assistant director of music at First United Methodist Church, in Sarasota, said he is already looking forward to fall and winter months at Christ Church.
"I'm looking forward to season getting started, when my choir comes back from up north," Hoffman said.
Hoffman plans to expand Christ Church's choir and begin an artist series, in which special-guest musicians would perform at the church. Already, Hoffman is planning music for the Christmas season.
"I'm having Christmas in July," he said.
Hoffman brings an extensive music background of more than 20 years of music direction and program-development experience to Christ Church.
He graduated from Indiana University School of Music, in Bloomington, Ind., where he studied choral conducting, and he has served as director of music for churches in Indiana, and Seattle. He is also an attorney and a graduate of the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville, in Louisville, Ky.
Hoffman is involved with musical groups throughout the community. Currently, he is choir master for the Anna Maria Island Chorus and Orchestra, soloist for Temple Beth Israel and a member of Gloria Musicae, a professional chorus in Sarasota.
And, for Hoffman, the music doesn't stop — even during his free time: He often volunteers by performing at local retirement communities.

Each show concept is even worse than the next.
Panic mode ?
Each show concept is even worse than the next.
Panic mode ?
Programming the audience. Getting them ready for 2 days a week, then 1, then none.
Maybe Wiggy will retain control of his channels after hes gone?
Howard needs to go away...retire with his lovely beth and his stupid cats....he is done..and calling people ugly is the joke of the century... I used to idolize him but now he has turned into a bad cartoon of himself... Sad realy...
My guess is that 101's ratings were way down. Howard gets 60% of the ad revenue on his channels: low ratings = lower ad rates = less marbles for Howie = programming changes
Killallposers put it best:
He has become larry king
Sabean is trying everything he can to keep his job. At this point they are just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks but their shit is so bad the wall is bouncing it back.
This. Gotta keep everyone employed, working and qualifying for benefits since Howard can barely work 3 days a week, which makes it funnier when Howard's bashing on his office staff for doing other things/other shows instead of his show. "Didn't you get the memo?" - Lucius Fox, BATMAN BEGINS
You've gotta have stuff to build around the massive success of the Abe Kanan show.
There really isn't much new programming, they're just moving things around to make it look like they're doing something. Seems like an attempt to impress John Malone or to win fan support in preparation for a future contract battle with Sirius or a move to a new platform. Regardless, it's not going to work. The new shows suck and Howard's promises have zero credibility. Is it really that difficult to figure out how to improve the channels? Get some hosts and sidekicks who are FUNNY and PROFESSIONAL. Of course, that would require money and effort so it will never happen. They'll just keep delivering the same shit we've been getting for 7 years and claim it's a Revolution.
He is preparing for the time when he is off the air completely. His next contract will be for replays and shitty spin-off shows.
I remember with this contract negotiations when he was talking about SIM cards and that 3rd music channel thinking "who in the world believes any of this?". You're right, Howard has zero credibility.
When was the last time they actually claimed they had a revolution going on? If it weren't for the devious tapes team would we hear the word anymore?
just trying to fool the new boss into thinking he gives a shit.

Ceramics and Glass
The collections of porcelain and pottery gathered by John and Joséphine are of considerable importance for their size, range and quality. They come from many European countries, and date from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. They are mostly domestic pieces, but offer a comprehensive representation of European ceramics with pieces from almost every known factory.
The largest part of the collection is of French porcelain and faïence. There are many pieces from the royal factory of Sèvres, including a rare teapot of 1758 decorated with peacock feathers on the newly created 'rose' or pink ground. There are further fine examples of 'soft-paste' or artificial porcelain from Chantilly, Saint Cloud, Vincennes, and Mennecy. The faïence (pottery) comes from Nevers, Rouen and several centres in southern and eastern France. There is an interesting group of faïence patriotique (pottery celebrating political events) made during the French Revolution.
Most of the German porcelain factories are represented, including Meissen, Frankenthal, Ludwigsburg and Nymphenburg. The Bowes' extended the continental section across the whole of Europe through purchases of modern pieces from the International Exhibitions in Paris in 1867 and London in 1871.
In 1878 John Bowes' cousin, Susan Davidson, left him her collection of pottery and porcelain which he in turn gave to the Museum. This greatly strengthened the English porcelain, and added many Oriental wares, mostly of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In this collection are some fine Chelsea botanical plates, and Chinese armorial export wares.
The Enid Goldblatt collection of porcelain was acquired in 1988, giving almost complete representation of continental factories, and the Lady Ludlow (1862-1945) collection of porcelain was presented by The Art Fund in 2004, making this one of the strongest collections of English eighteenth century porcelain in Britain.
The nineteenth century glass collection includes a set of amber table glass, engraved with the Bowes' coat of arms and horses, attributed to Karl Pföhl, a group of glassware by Salviati of Venice, and a vase, bonbonnière and cabaret set, engraved by Emile Gallé, which are some of his earliest works, commissioned directly by Joséphine Bowes.
The Bowes Museum has been highlighted in Collectors Weekly Hall of Fame which can be seen here.

What is beer etiquette in Brazil?
Brazilians hardly consider themselves to be a polite people, but they do love to lecture each other on manners anyhow, especially when drinking. The following are the standard rules for correct consumption of Brazilian beer.
1. A man should pour beer for the ladies. I learned the intricacies of this while drinking with several cariocas (women from Rio):
2. The group should buy one garrafa (600 mL bottle) at a time and share it. Some gringos do otherwise, to the horror of cariocas.
3. The beer should be extremely cold.
4. Raise your glass and toast "Saude!" You must look in each person's eyes, as in Europe, but more importantly, you must take a drink before putting your glass back down. You know the following folk wisdom is true because it rhymes:
Quem bebe sem brindar, 7 anos sem gozar.
Quem brinda sem beber, 7 anos sem foder.
(Drinking without toasting: 7 years without orgasms.
Toasting without drinking: 7 years without fucking.)
