Guys, just a quick question.
Have been riding a long board for three years, can go left and right and glide down the line no probs.
I am looking for a bit more adventure and thinking of coming down to a short board.
There is one for sale in my area, dimensions are 7'0" x 20 & 1/2" x 2 & 3/4". It's called a "big Boy".
Since I am 6'1", weighing 13/14 stone I am confused what I should go for.
I am also wondering is that above board a gun made for bigger waves.
All comments/opnions much appreciated.

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
This is some of the best lip balm I have found for any climate. I love all the flavors I have tried thus far and hope to try out some more soon!
It works great and it's easy on the pocket. But you can buy a two pack for much cheaper. I also like that it does not look all girly when you take it out of you pocket.
Overall a great product. Would buy/use again. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling at all. Would recommend this product to anyone.
I normally just use carmex, but chose to order this on a whim. It works well and the SPF is a nice added touch.
This was originally purchased for my husband but has become the go-to balm for the entire family. I will be purchasing more for stocking stuffers!
This is the best balm I've ever tried- minty and emollient, it leaves my lips super soft. I can not believe it has spf 25- you do not smell it at all. Perfect for those living in a hot climate and needing a good lip protection every day.
I have multiple "flavors" of the Jack Black Lip Balm and they are by far my favorite. The taste and scent have staying power.
I use lip balms and chapsticks all the time, all year long. This is perfect! This tiny tube packs a powerful punch! its long lasting so you dont reapply 20 times a day, not too shiny for the guys who are worried about it. and the smell is spot on! This is a must have for the car or office!
I tried several lip balms and this is the best. It leaves my lips very moisturized. Yes it feels a little bit oily but hey it is just shea butter. I like the fact that it is all natural.
This is by far one of the best lip balm products I've ever used. I have boughten several of these and have a couple stored in my drawer for whenever. These are honestly the best.
Every one of their flavors of this product is amazing and not nauseating like some lip balms can be & coming from a guys point of view on lip balm, this is definitely a must. If you haven't tried one out, get one for yourself, even if it's a blind buy. They're amazing and you definitely won't regret it.
And the best part is, when you put it on it's a very smooth feeling and doesn't feel gunky and waxy like some lip balms do. It also doesn't leave much of a "shine" on your lips, so it's looks real natural when they're on and they're very moisturizing.

Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy asked me to write the eulogy for the 2013 Ottawa Senators, and here it is. Come remember the 2013 Sens with yours truly.

I'm not a big fan of public marriage proposals; For me it's a private decision that when made public puts undo pressure on someone to say "yes." But I sure did get teary-eyed watching a video this...
Puck Daddy commenters are idiots and racists and they have some opinions about Barack Obama.
Today OTF examines possibilities for how to structure a private equity deal that could save the NHL without also ruining it at the same time.
Just why would we think the 2010-11 Tampa Bay Lightning season was the most essential? We elaborate on our Puck Daddy Essentials answer here.
Puck Daddy has been doing a series on the essentials for each team, and we were asked to put together an essentials post for the Tampa Bay Lightning a while back. We all contributed to this, and there will be some additional "essentials" that we'd like to add on top of this. So stay tuned for some more Lightning essentials here on Raw Charge.

Channing Tatum: Working On A 'Bigger' Magic Mike Sequel
First Published: July 12, 2012 10:50 AM EDT Credit: Warner Bros.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Is a "bigger" "Magic Mike" sequel on the way? According to Channing Tatum, there will be more thrusting, gyrating and naughty fireman costumes for the actor.
Channing was asked about a possible sequel to his male stripping movie during a Twitter Q&A for Britain's Glamour Magazine.
"Yes, yes and yes!" Channing wrote. "We're working on the concept now. We want to flip the script and make it bigger."
Co-star star Joe Manganiello spoke to Hollywood.com last month about a possible prequel to the Steven Soderbergh movie.
"We're actually talking about the possibility of doing the prequel," the "True Blood" star said at the time. "Because if you do the sequel, then you lose Mike [Channing Tatum's character]. Otherwise, what's Mike going to do? He's going to come back for one big heist… so, you would do the prequel — how they got there."
Also – as previously reported on AccessHollywood.com – a musical version of the movie is also being developed for the stage.

Lawmakers are headed back to Capitol Hill to resume negotiations on a health overhaul bill. The Washington Post's Ceci Connolly reports, "All eyes will be on the Senate Finance Committee, which has yet to release a bill but is widely believed to be the only hope for formulating a bipartisan approach."
But bloggers are lagging a bit behind–perhaps thrown off by the long weekend–and many are still absorbing the rereleased cost estimate ($611.4 billion instead of $1 trillion) of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee bill.
As Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf explains, there is still much to settle before any bill (or the Finance Committee's) is finalized:
This estimate reflects the major provisions of the legislation but CBO has not yet completed an analysis of all of its effects. Specifically, the agency has not yet estimated the administrative costs to the federal government of implementing the specified policies or the costs of establishing and operating the new insurance exchanges, nor has it taken into account all of the proposal's likely effects on spending for other federal programs or their potential effects on revenues from corporate taxes.
Wonk Room's Igor Volsky compiled a chart comparing the new and old cost estimates come from in the HELP bill.
But it looks like an employer mandate is the key issue sparking online contention over the last few days. Heritage's Con Carroll thinks the penalty to employers for not providing coverage–currently set at $750 per year per full-time employee–is a "job killer." He says:
In other words, the HELP committee wants to pay for their health care plan in classic "tax-and-spend" liberal fashion: by instituting a crippling new tax on our nation's businesses. And not just any new tax. A tax directed like a heat seeking missile at job creation: an employer mandate.
Over at the New Republic's The Treatment, Anthony Wright thinks the $750 penalty may not be enough. He urges the Senate HELP Committee to follow the House Tri-Committee's current proposal, which penalizes employers the equivalent of 8% of payroll. Wright continues:
It's still less than the average of what employers who do provide coverage contribute now, but it would help working families feel more secure in the coverage they have now, and increase the likelihood of getting decent benefits at their next job. It would level the playing field for employers who do provide coverage, but often have to compete against those who don't.
HELP Committee members resume their markup tomorrow at 10 a.m.
While lawmakers continue to hammer away in order to reach the perfect number, some sites are checking the public mood. Last week the Kaiser Family Foundation released the first in a series it's calling "Data Notes", which examines the spread in public opinion polling on certain health reform issues. The first is on "Footing the Bill." (Kaiser Health News is a project of the Foundation.)
In a post titled "Are Americans willing to pay for health reform? It depends how you put it…" Health Populi's Jane Sarasohn-Kahn notes:
At the end of the day, 3 in 5 Americans think it's possible to 'do' health reform without spending any additional funds. "This feeling that change could come without pain likely makes Americans less likely to back anything with a price tag," KFF foresees…This unease and concern about job security will bolster the KFF forecast that Americans generally would like health reform to be a zero-sum spend. However, there's a countervailing reality that may play against this: that job insecurity roughly equals health insurance insecurity.
There's plenty of time for opinion to move one way or another: yesterday on CBS's "Face the Nation", Finance Committee Dem Chuck Schumer, N.Y., set August 8th as a goal to vote a bill out of committee.

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry)
Jean de La Fontaine was born in the province of Champagne at Château-Thierry in 1621. In spite of his name, he was not of noble birth. His father held a government post as an administrator of forest and water resources. It was in the lush, green countryside of Château-Thierry that the poet spent his first twenty years. He loved the surrounding neighborhood with its familiar woods, waters, and meadows. He admired the natural world during a century when it went mostly unappreciated; indeed, to most of his contemporaries the term "nature" meant primarily human nature. Thus, his early upbringing set him apart from the other great classical writers of France's Golden Age, and the influence of nature and of country people is apparent in many of his tales and fables.
It is well documented that as a boy, La Fontaine was dreamy and absent-minded. He was also cheerful and lively, possessing an amiable disposition which remained with him throughout his life. In 1641, at the age of twenty, La Fontaine decided to study for the priesthood at the Oratoire in Paris, but he abandoned this pursuit after eighteen months and turned to the study of law. In 1647, his father transferred his official post to La Fontaine and married him off to a girl from an affluent family. The match proved to be a disaster, and the couple formally separated after eleven years of marriage. During this period, La Fontaine lived the life of a dilettante. He showed a disinclination for...

Early Life (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
Jean de La Fontaine was born in Château-Thierry, a small farming town in Champagne located about fifty miles east of Paris. His father, Charles de La Fontaine, was a local administrator of forests and waters. His mother, Françoise Pidoux, belonged to a respected middle-class family from Poitiers. The widow of a wealthy merchant, she had one daughter when she married Charles in 1617.
Although little is known about La Fontaine's early years, most scholars believe he attended school in Château-Thierry before going to college in Paris. During his school years, he learned Latin rhetoric and grammar and was introduced to ancient works that would provide subjects for his later creative endeavors. He was most likely a sensitive student who liked to daydream and who perhaps found his teachers boring and authoritative. Several uncomplimentary references to schoolboys and schoolmasters in his fables suggest that his school years were not entirely pleasant.
On April 27, 1641, La Fontaine entered the Oratory, a religious seminary in Paris. By October, his teachers had discovered his preference for popular love stories and wrote that he should be strongly urged to study theology. After eighteen months, La Fontaine withdrew from the seminary and returned to Château-Thierry to read and daydream. Although...

Life's Work (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
During the classical period, which flourished in France from 1660 to about 1685, writers were expected to imitate and to adapt works of ancient authors, not by radically changing the originals but by presenting them in new styles to please contemporary audiences. As his first major work, La Fontaine tried to adapt a racy Latin comedy by Terence to the refined tastes of Parisian high society, but the necessary changes destroyed the flavor and unity of the original. Although L'Eunuque (1654; the eunuch) was never produced, its lively dialogue demonstrates his narrative skills.
For the next few years, La Fontaine was occupied by family affairs. The income from his administrative position and similar positions inherited from his father in 1658 was insufficient to pay family debts, forcing La Fontaine to annul his marriage in order to sell property held jointly with his wife. From this time on, he lived mostly apart from his family, relying on wealthy patrons to support his life's work.
His first patron was Nicolas Fouquet, a wealthy and ambitious minister of finance, whose estate at Vaux-le-Vicomte was being built as a showplace of the arts, and whose eighteen thousand employees included the leading artists, architects, gardeners, musicians, and writers. In addition to occasional verse to entertain the society at Vaux, La Fontaine wrote Adonis (1658), a six-hundred-line love story in rhymed couplets, which merges three...

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
Although he tried his hand at many literary forms, Jean de La Fontaine is remembered for his fables, which have survived translation into many languages. Except for Tales and Short Stories in Verse, his other works are relatively unknown outside his own country, even to students of French literature. One exception, his poem Adonis, has received much scholarly attention since its brilliant analysis by the French poet Paul Valéry in 1921.
A careful writer even when trying to appear casual, La Fontaine was totally dedicated to his craft, despite a reputation for idleness and an eagerness to please the audience of his day. Forced to seek patrons to support his work, he firmly but diplomatically maintained his independence as a writer, rejecting suggestions to write the fables in prose or to follow his sources more closely. His fables are a synthesis of his extensive reading, keen observation, and years of poetic experimentation. With his unerring ear for dialogue, his insight into human nature, and his skill as a poet and storyteller, La Fontaine carried the classic art of imitation to its highest extreme by molding the fable into a new poetic genre. More than three centuries later, his accomplishment remains unsurpassed.

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Jean de La Fontaine (lah fohn-TEHN) was born on July 8, 1621, in the town of Château-Thierry northeast of Paris, the son of the supervisor of local domains belonging to the king of France. This solid, middle-class background allowed him to become well educated and aspire to a life of some leisure. It is also said that the long hours spent in the forests that were under his father's supervision made La Fontaine especially familiar with and fond of animals, but this may well be part of the myth that later developed around him of someone who preferred nature and quiet contemplation to human society.
His family sent him to a Paris seminary to study theology at the age of twenty, in the hope he might become a priest, but he left after one year. From 1645 to 1647, he studied law in Paris, although academic work was a much lower priority than his growing enthusiasm for literature and his friendships in literary, artistic, and aristocratic circles. Some of these friends were members of the entourage of King Louis XIV's superintendent of finances, Nicolas Fouquet, who would later become the first important patron in La Fontaine's career.
In 1647, La Fontaine married the daughter of a respectable family, Marie Héricart, who was fourteen at the time. Like many upper-class weddings in this historical period, its purpose was to consolidate...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Jean de La Fontaine wrote in a wide variety of genres and styles, but he is known today primarily as the author of the Fables, his greatest work. Written for an educated and wealthy audience, the fables are full of stylistic subtlety and of satirical, as well as philosophical, content. Because fables traditionally are intended for educating children, and because La Fontaine's poems have been recited by heart by generations of schoolchildren, the ambiguity and complexity of his work are often ignored. While scholars have always considered him one of France's greatest poets, people who know him less well still think of him as a clever, witty, but superficial and frivolous writer. It is only necessary to read the texts themselves—there are many good English translations, including one by the great American poet Marianne Moore—to understand that there is far more depth in his beautifully constructed verse than many people are aware.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Jean de La Fontaine (lah fohn-tehn) was one of the world's greatest writers of fables. His father earned his living as a forest ranger in the duchy of Château Thierry, where La Fontaine was born and raised. He studied at Rheims and at the age of twenty entered the seminary to prepare for a church career; however, his interest in law led to a change of vocation. In 1647, through family pressure, he married the well-to-do Marie Héricart, ten years younger than he. They lived together for eleven years and had one son before their separation in 1658.
La Fontaine was thirty when he began his literary career. A friend of the dramatists Jean Racine and Molière, he was encouraged in 1651 to adapt Terence's Eunuchus for the Paris stage. La Fontaine's version, L'Eunuque, was performed with fair success. He soon realized, however, that his true talent was as a poet and not as a dramatist. He began versifying fables, some suggested by Aesop, some original, and their popularity increased his literary reputation.
In 1656 Nicholas Fouquet, superintendent of finances and the confidential agent of Prime Minister Cardinal Mazarin, bestowed an annual pension of one thousand livres on La Fontaine in return for four poems a year. Fouquet's arrest for embezzlement in 1661 ended that pension, but the duchess of Château Thierry...

Sheep, Chicks and Geese Scurry at the County Fair
As photographer Dan Nelken has catalogued, the county fair is the place for family farms to showcase their prized livestock
- By Brian Wolly
- Smithsonian.com, August 14, 2009
(Dan Nelken)
Over the course of his project, Nelken was struck by how children would spend months caring for their animals while fully realizing that their wards could soon be dead, either slaughtered or by accident.
At the 2001 Schoharie County Fair, Nelken heard a girl talking about her pet rabbit. Like most subjects, she was very accommodating and agreed to be photographed. The following year he came back and showed her this photo and asked about her champion rabbit. "Oh it died," she said matter-of-factly. "It broke its leg because my dog was chasing it."
Another young pig farmer told Nelken that he calls his hogs "Thing 1" or "Thing 2" because he knows that they will almost certainly end up being butchered.
The owners of prize-winning animals have the option to put their livestock up for auction at the end of the fair; it's the only compensation they get for all their work. The animals are sold for either breeding purposes or meat, and if they aren't bid on or put up for auction, the owners might keep them for the next year's fair.

i WORK AT A SENIOR LIVING RESIDENCE AND WE WOULD LOVE TO GET VISITED BY SOME FARM ANIMALS. Especially, baby chicks, lambs, etc. Do you know of someone who would be available to do such a thing? Please refer them to my email address. Thank you, in advance. Marilyn

I was very surprised to see my son and myself in your book! We are on page 9 during the baby contest. My friend spotted your pictures in this mag. and let me know that we were in it. I love it! I really need to buy the book. Nice picture!
Posted by Mary Phraner on April 25,2010 | 02:22 PM
This book is more than a pleasure to look through! The pictures are wonderful and the stories they tell are fabulous! Can't wait for the next ... bring it on Dan Nelken!
Posted by Catelyn Eddy on September 16,2009 | 05:06 PM
This work is heartland America in living color. Mr. Nelken has the eye and ability to capture the essence of the county fair: the care, the pride and hopes of these youngsters as they show off their prizes to one and all.
Very well done and thank you for giving us these snapshots of American.
Posted by Toby B. on September 7,2009 | 05:08 PM
The book is a fantastic and fun distraction and makes me want to get away from the city and run back home to the countryside! Dan's talent shines through from every photograph. My kids loved it too and would like to see a UK version!
Posted by Kathy B on September 3,2009 | 12:14 PM
Looking through these pictures is so much fun! The atmosphere is amazing ... warm and inspiring images!

Fabulous work, great humor, lovely stories; you are only missing the smells of the barns to bring it into 3D.
Posted by Adele Brown on August 31,2009 | 03:09 PM
I think that this book is a really insightful look at the background activities of the country fairs. I enjoyed reviewing this book, and my review was published on The PhotoBook (http://thephotobook.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/dan-nelken-till-the-cows-come-home/). Very nice
Posted by Douglas Stockdale on August 31,2009 | 10:26 AM
This book is not only the masterpiece of an immensely creative & talented photographer, a thoughtful tribute to American culture, but also an edgy work of conceptual art.
Dan Nelken is a brilliant artist and "Till the Cows Come Home: County Fair Portraits" is an important contribution to the world at large....Thanks Dan!

It's wonderful to see the fruition of this wonderful body of work into a book and an online article here. I wish it long life! And looking forward to seeing the book!
Posted by Chin-Chin Wu on August 27,2009 | 10:22 PM
I love this book. Dan has captured some of the same people over the years so each individual shot is great but the story builds when you see the transformation of the kids with their animal prize of the year! I wish Dan had a book for the great demolition derby pictures he has taken. Check out his web site!
Posted by Brian Sisco on August 27,2009 | 02:28 PM
I've known Dan and this wonderful body of work for a number of years-of course I own the book, too! This on-line article is well written, personal, and informative & includes a smartly chosen series of images. I certainly responded to the individual stories and his reflections - the format worked extremely well. Dan Nelken is a sensitive, intuitive, "real" person and these exceptional photographs reveal that. Bravo!
Posted by Fredrik Marsh on August 27,2009 | 10:02 AM
Dan Nelken captures the essence of county fairs. The traditions, the families and friends, the people - the heart of America.
Posted by Lois E. Goblet on August 22,2009 | 07:43 PM
I own the book. Everyone that sees it, loves it.

Al-Shabaab bombing kills 65 in Somali capital, clashes in Saudi Arabia injure 24, France warns Syrian embassy against harassing opposition on French soil, and more.
Press TV | Sep 13
Pakistan has been hit with a second season of devastating floods, as fast flowing water swept away hundreds of villages, bringing misery to locals ...
Al-Shabab bombing kills 65 in Somali capital [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Female #1
A Somali medical source said at least 65 people were killed and 50 were wounded by a car bomb targeting a complex four miles south of Mogadishu, where a number of transitional Somali government ministries are located.
Presenter, Male #1
Al-Shabab al-Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out with a bomb-laden car when several ministers were inside the compound.
Reporter, Male #2
This is the first and most violent attack launched by al-Shabab al-Mujahideen movement in the Somali capital Mogadishu since its fighters withdrew from the city in late August. The attack led to many casualties, including government ministers, military members, and students. Al-Shabab said one of its fighters attacked the government complex where several ministers' offices are located with a car bomb. He detonated the bomb upon arrival at the complex, causing damage and public disorder in the area. The police said the explosion was so violent that several victims' bodies were scattered around the attack site. Several Somali officials considered the attack a major security breach, especially since it took place in an area controlled by Somali government and African Union forces that are deployed in the capital. According to media sources, al-Shabab al-Mujahideen movement has once again begun launching attacks targeting government forces and buildings. Yesterday, clashes described as violent broke out in the Dusa Mareb region in central Somalia between al-Shabab fighters and militias affiliated with the government, leading to casualties. Months ago, Mogadishu witnessed devastating battles between al-Shabab al-Mujahideen fighters and government forces backed by African Union forces. The battles ended with the Shabab fighters' withdrawal from the capital, which was caused by the advance of 9,000 African Union forces. However, there is still fear that battles will return to the streets of Mogadishu. The language of violence dominates in Somalia amid an unstable security situation and economy as the country is still enduring a famine affecting millions of citizens.
Clashes in Saudi Arabia injure 24 [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female #1
Al-Alam quoted knowledgeable sources saying 24 people, including a woman, were injured as Saudi security forces opened fire at residents of Qatif, al-Awamiyah, and surrounding areas in the eastern parts of the Kingdom. Clashes erupted between the residents and security forces. Several residents from neighboring territories rushed to the aid of al-Awamiyah.
Reporter, Male #1
Unrest, protests, and a state of turmoil have once again returned to the Saudi front, particularly in the eastern territories. The incidents were initiated by the Saudi authorities, whose security forces attempted to detain several civilians in the city of al-Awamiyah. The incident stirred anger among the residents, who chanted slogans against the authorities.
Guest, Male #2 (al-Sayyed Abu al-Hassan, Saudi Political Activist, al-Awamiyah)
The Saudi forces' campaigns of arrests, harassment, and provocation have angered residents. Several youths were moved by such acts. As a result, they threw stones at security forces, who responded by opening fire.
Reporter, Male #1
Security forces heavily and indiscriminately opened fire at the crowd, targeting men, women, children, and seniors. According to knowledgeable sources, dozens of residents, including a woman, sustained various injuries. Security forces stormed the city to quell the civilian protestors demanding a dignified life. Masses of residents from neighboring territories, including al-Qadih, Om al-Hamam, Milaha, and Safwa, rushed to the aid of al-Awamiyah's residents. The protests quickly turned into clashes with security forces. The situation seems to be escalating with dire repercussions. Observers believe that al-Awamiyah's clashes could spark a new wave of protests similar to the incidents witnessed across the Kingdom a few months ago, when protestors took to the streets to demand political and economic reforms as well as the release of hundreds of political, opinion, and rights activists. Since then, the only change the Kingdom has seen is a wider crackdown on freedom of expression and opinion.
France warns Syrian embassy against harassing opposition on French soil [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
Paris warned Damascus against intimidating Syrian dissidents on French territory.
Amnesty International accused Syrian authorities of what it referred to as campaigns of threats and harassment against overseas Syrian protestors by subjecting them to surveillance by Syrian embassies. The organization reported over 30 cases in eight countries of activists saying they received threats from embassy employees, and their relatives in Syria were subject to what appears to be harassment, detainment, and even torture. The organization says the expatriate protestors outside the Syrian embassies were filmed by embassy employees then harassed over the phone and in emails. Amnesty International called on these countries to take firmer action against the Syrian embassies. Meanwhile, the Syrian embassy in London denied these accusations and denied its employees' involvement in any campaign of threat or harassment. On the ground in Syria, three soldiers and one civilian were killed on Tuesday in clashes in Shaman in Idlib Province. Three civilians and one activist were killed near Talbisa in Homs Province, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. In addition, the Observatory said a communist activist was killed Monday evening by the gunfire of unknown people in the city of Homs. On the same day, a child was killed and his father wounded after gunfire hit their car. Meanwhile, two citizens were killed near the city of al-Qasir and the bodies of four civilians were found in the suburbs of Homs city. Peaceful protests continue in various regions of Syria.
Reporter, Male #2
Night protests continue in numerous parts of Syria. This time the protests are in solidarity with Talbisa, which is besieged by the Syrian army. The army is carrying out a military operation in the city after completing its operations in Rastan. Demonstrators carried banners voicing their support for the Syrian opposition's national council and demanded an end to the regime and its president. Night protests swept across at-Tayan, Deir az-Zour, Tal Rifaat in Aleppo, Juret Al Shayah in Homs, al-Qasir, Riq, Idlib, Rif Dara'a, Rif Dimashq, al-BuKamal, Hama, and other regions. In this video, students in Daraa Province took the opportunity during today's school day to demand freedom. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said three soldiers and a civilian were killed in clashes between Syrian soldiers and gunmen believed to be army defectors in Idlib Province. Meanwhile in other incidents, reports indicate that several civilians were killed, including a child. A car carrying a child and his father was fired upon; the father was wounded. Two more citizens were killed near al-Qasir city, while the bodies of four civilians were found in the suburbs of Homs city.
Guest, Male #3
The international community and the United Nations should send a fact-finding mission right now, not tomorrow, to determine the scale of the disaster that struck Rastan. And now it's happening in Talbisa and other regions. More than 3,000 people were arrested in Rastan, including women and students. More than 150 people have been killed in the past four days. Aircraft is used daily; Syrian warplanes still hover over Homs, Hama, and Jabal az-Zawiya.
Reporter, Male #2
On the other hand, authorities in Damascus still accuse armed Islamist terrorist groups of inciting strife and chaos in the country. Syrian TV showed a large number of handguns it claims were smuggled from Turkey. The People's Council of Syria is convening a session on Tuesday to discuss the bills referred by President Bashar al-Assad as well as the legislative decrees he issued pertaining to the political party law, the general election law, the local administration law, and the media law. Meanwhile, dissidents expect the meeting to antagonize the opposition's newly formed national council, which was announced several days ago in Istanbul. Istanbul's relationship with Damascus has reached a low point due to Turkey's position on the Syrian regime's violent practices against the protests demanding freedom and democracy. Hayan Yaqoub, BBC.
Millions join anti-Saleh rally in Yemen [Press TV, Iran]
Reports coming out of Yemen say millions have taken to the streets of the capital Sanaa in one of the largest demonstrations against the rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh. The protestors demand Saleh's immediate ouster and called on the international community to support their cause. The rally came as regime troops shelled a popular shopping district in the city, killing two civilians. Similar attacks on the city of Taiz left several wounded. Embattled ruler Saleh refuses to step down despite a wave a popular protests that have swept the country for months.
Bahrainis use traffic jams as method for protest [Press TV, Iran]
Anti-regime protests continue in Bahrain despite a Saudi-backed crackdown. Protestors have created massive traffic jams in the capital as part of a campaign dubbed Manama storm. This as Bahrain military court has sentenced 14 members of Amal Islamic society to up to ten years in jail on charges of staging anti-regime protest rallies. Meanwhile, the al-Khalifa regime has banned Bahrain's main opposition group al-Wefaq from organizing a demonstration against the imprisonment of medics and anti-regime protestors.
NTC: Gaddafi's son directing defense of Bani Walid [Press TV, Iran]
Now in Libya, a commander with the National Transitional Council says Saif al-Islam, the son of ousted ruler Muammar Gaddafi is in the city of Bani Walid. He said the revolutionaries have captured a pro-Gaddafi loyalist who says Saif al-Islam is directing military operations against NTC forces in Bani Walid. The whereabouts of Gaddafi himself remain unknown. Saif al-Islam and his father are wanted by the International Criminal Court for murder and persecution in the country's revolution. Bani Walid and Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte are the remaining strongholds which have no surrendered yet.
Devastating flood threatens nine million Pakistanis [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Male #1
Several people were killed and many others injured in an armed attack targeting a bus carrying workers in southwestern Pakistan. Pakistani security sources said that unknown gunmen attacked a passenger bus in the outskirts of the city of Quetta, the capital of the Balochistan region. Thirteen people were killed and seven others were wounded in the attack. Four gunmen ordered the passengers off the bus and opened fire at them. The deterioration of security is not the only concern for Pakistanis, as famine and poverty continue to threaten the lives of nine million victims due to the floods sweeping across southern Pakistan. The victims are not receiving enough international aid. It's a catastrophic humanitarian situation subject to further deterioration, as warned by the UN. The UN issued an appeal to help rescue three million victims in need of urgent food aid. Meanwhile, Pakistani authorities acknowledged that the victims' hardship may last for years. Mahyub Khuder reports from Islamabad.
Reporter, Male #2
It's a natural disaster that has turned into a humanitarian crisis in Sindh Province. The floods have reached 23 districts in the region, turning the lives of millions into tales of tragedies and displacement. Flood waters have inflicted a heavy burden on the region, destroying homes and crops, amid the residents' unanswered cries for help.
Guest, Male #3
We have not received any aid yet, not from the government nor from other agencies. I sent my family away to one of the camps. I stayed here to keep an eye on my home that is covered by water. Some days we can't find anything to eat.
Reporter, Male #2
Feeling helpless, some flood-stricken residents occasionally cut off roads in an attempt to make their voices heard. Others are trying to pick up what is left of their destroyed crops. Flooding has destroyed 85 percent of Sindh's agricultural crop for this year. Finding adequate drinking water has become a great challenge and a heavy burden for residents.
Guest, Male #4 (Ahmed Kamal, National Disaster Authority's Spokesman)
As of today, we still have nine million flood victims, including men and women, but mostly children. We have 3,000 camps, housing 600,000 victims. The floods have destroyed 1.5 million homes, crops, water networks, as well as the infrastructure of this hard-hit region.
Reporter, Male #2
It's a disaster that has come with a high cost. The authorities say it may take years to deal with the fallout, especially amid the lack of international support; a reality that deepens the suffering of these victims, who have been hit hard by two consecutive years of flooding. Nine million flood-stricken victims have lost their homes and crops in Sindh Province. It's a humanitarian crisis that continues to unfold, especially amid a weak response from the international community to the appeal issued by the UN. Mahyub Khuder, Dubai TV, Islamabad.
Panetta visits Egypt seeking release Ilan Grapel [IBA, Israel]
US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta arrived in Cairo today and reported efforts to secure the release of Ilan Grapel who has been in Egyptian detention on charges of spying for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta arrived in Cairo today amid much media speculation that he might be able to help free US-Israel Ilan Grapel who is being held in Egypt on charges of espionage for Israel. Panetta is meeting with Egyptian military leaders to press them to move to elections and quickly put a civilian government in place. The defense secretary also hopes to diffuse tensions between Cairo and Jerusalem following the attack of Egyptian protestors on the Israeli embassy in Cairo and the killing of six Egyptian policemen on the Egypt-Israeli border while Israel was chasing terrorist who escaped into Egypt after killing eight Israelis near Eilat.
Police increase security near Muslim sites following mosque burning [IBA, Israel]
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch today said that security forces have a good idea who carried out the so called 'price tag burning' of a mosque near Tuba-Zangaria on Sunday night and that arrests will be immediately forthcoming. It was quiet in the Galilee village of Tuba-Zangaria today after 24 hours of rowdy and somewhat violent demonstrations. Police investigators were still sifting through the ashes of the burned mosque. Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch today revealed that security forces were hot on the trails of the perpetrators and that several arrests would be carried out shortly.
Photo gallery in Erbil honors survivors of al-Anfal genocide [Al-Forat TV, Iraq]
Presenter, Male #1
A photo gallery opened in Erbil to honor the survivors of the organized massacres of innocent Kurdish people committed by the former regime in what is named "al-Anfal Campaign." These pictures document the massacres that Saddam's regime committed against the Kurds in the late 1980s. Ala'a Ta'i reports.
Reporter, Male #2
Traditionally, a government official inaugurates the opening of an exhibition. But this exhibition was inaugurated by a group of country women who have little formal education, but graduated from the university of martyrdom and sacrifice, the university of al-Anfal. Thousands of martyrs and wounded graduated from al-Anfal, and only a small number of them are still alive. In coordination with a German organization, the Ministry of Martyrs and the Anfal Affairs held the first exhibition to showcase the images of the living instead of the dead. These people survived the genocidal campaigns executed by Saddam's Baath regime in the 1980s, which victimized thousands of Kurds.
Guest, Female #1 (Janar Sa'ad, Former Minister of Martyrs and Anfal Affairs)
We are exerting efforts so that this crime will not be repeated in the future, and to teach new generations as well as older generations about what happened in Iraq. Therefore, this will be a history lesson for the coming generations so this does not happen again, and will provide reassurance to everyone living in Iraq.
Reporter, Male #2
These faces are troubled from being separated from their loved ones, their memories, and final farewells. Most of them watched their children and loved ones die, unable to save their lives. The photo gallery represents a salute to the survivors and their sufferings, offers condolences, and allows the families' memories of the martyrs to live on today and tomorrow, just as they did yesterday. The regional ministry of martyrs is not an organization administered by an agency like in Baghdad. The ministry advocates the martyrs' financial and spiritual rights, especially with the recent openings of mass graves to rebury the remains of martyrs in the region.
Guest, Male #3 (Sabah Ahmed, Minister of Martyrs and al-Anfal Affairs in Kurdistan)
The joint efforts are attempting to accelerate the process of transporting the remains of some martyrs from the holy city of Najaf to Tab al-Adi Center in Erbil. There are joint teams from Baghdad and Kurdistan conducting necessary inspections. Once these inspections are complete, the remains of the remaining martyrs will be transported.
Reporter, Male #2
The Kurds believe that this rapid progress was made in honor of the martyrs' blood. Therefore, they will not forget the martyrs just like they will not forget about their families. In other provinces, the killer is often compensated for lost lives, which is an issue that has yet to be resolved. From Erbil, Ala'a Ta'i, al-Forat.

The Humanscale FM500 foot machine, with its ball-bearing, roller design encourages gentle rocking of the feet in the same way a rocking chair encourages movement. Research studies have shown that 70% of all women and 40% of all men have health issues such as blood clots, varicose veins and pressure on the Achilles tendon due to pooling of fluids in the lower limbs, the result of prolonged, inactive sitting. The rocking motion is made by the lower leg muscles moving back and forth, and that increases circulation. The Humanscale FM300 Foot Machine also performs as a standard foot rest, providing support for the legs and relieving pressure on the lower back.

Presented to: Edward L. Hart
For: To Utah
According to the awards committee, "To Utah is a bringing together of forty years of poetic exploration. Hart's 'tribute and gift to those he loves becomes a tribute to his understanding of and devotion to the elements of his existence. Out of To Utah and his portrayal of the destruction caused by human frailty rises his sympathy for the pain of living and his faith in our ultimate success.' His 'reverence for the Word' resounds throughout To Utah, a book that 'spans his years and illuminates ours.'"

What is a good Prismatic Coefficient to shoot for in a 17" Sea Kayak
(Swedeform, 250 lb displacement, hard chine). I am designing in Carlson's
Chine Hull Designer and have played for a while with different hulls and got
my value down to .49. I did a bit of reading in Dave Gerr's book and he
states/implies that an ideal is .54. Does that stand true for the long and
narrow extreme of kayaks as well as other displacement boats. Am I trying
to get as low as possible? I understand what the Prismatic Coefficient is,
but I don't know what is I should try to get it to say.

Los Angeles Film Festival 2007
Writer-director Rafi Pitts carefully cultivates stark beauty in this neorealist drama based on a novel by Mahmoud Dowlatabadi and the heartbreaking poetry of Mehdi Akhavan Sales. A hot-blooded mechanic arrives in a meager town on the outskirts of Tehran where, under the bleak curtain of winter, he falls in love with a woman whose husband has left her behind to seek a better life abroad.

Preventing diabetic retinopathy
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.
7 comments posted
According to the American Diabetes Association, if you have diabetes, you're at an increased risk of eye complications. Most people with diabetes will get some form of retinopathy, a disorder of the retina. Diabetes-related eye complications are the leading cause of blindness in the United States.
But preventing diabetic retinopathy and other eye complications is possible. One 10-year study showed that keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible prevented development of or slowed the progression of diabetic eye disease by more than 75 percent. And improving blood glucose levels can help even if blood glucose hasn't been controlled in the past.
Understanding diabetic retinopathy
The retina is the light sensitive tissue in the back of your eye. It works like a camera, taking a "picture" and sending that information to the brain via the optic nerve. Over time, high blood glucose causes the blood vessels in the eye to weaken. Eventually, the blood vessels leak into the retina. At this stage, most people don't have any symptoms.
Continued high blood sugar will cause further damage to the retinas. New blood vessels will grow on the retina, but they'll be weak and break open more easily. This will cause leaking of blood into the middle part of the eye, affecting vision. Bleeding can also cause scar tissue to form and the retina to pull away from the wall of the eye. If that isn't bad enough, retinopathy can also lead to swelling of the macula (macular edema), further worsening vision.
Several factors influence whether or not a person gets retinopathy. These include blood sugar control, blood pressure control, how long you've had diabetes, and genetics.
Preventing diabetic retinopathy and other eye complications
To prevent or slow diabetic retinopathy and other eye complications:
- Control your blood sugar. Test your blood sugar on a regular basis, as recommended by your doctor. Keep a record of your blood glucose levels, and bring that record and your meter with you to your appointments. If you keep your blood sugar levels close to normal, you're less likely to get retinopathy. And, if you do get it, it's more likely to be a milder and more treatable form (nonproliferative retinopathy).
- Keep your blood pressure under control. High blood pressure — common in adults with diabetes — not only increases your risk of eye problems, it also increases your risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease. High blood pressure increases the pressure of the blood vessels in the eye, causing weakened vessels to burst. Have your blood pressure checked regularly, and work with your doctor to keep it under control.
- Keep your diabetes appointments. Don't miss your diabetes-related appointments, and don't forget to see your eye doctor. He or she will take a good look at the retina. The sooner retinopathy is detected and treated, the more successful treatment will be.
Have a good week.

Playing music and making the vieewr read is stupid. Why aren't you appearing and talking etc? Fortunately most diabetics know not to waste their money on so-called natural cures because there are none. That term alone makes me think of Kevin Trudeau and most people know that he's a snake oil salesman/huckster/con man!

The folks at Betty Crocker have done it again: given us mere mortals great, easy reecips my whole family can enjoy. The best thing about this book is that the reecips aren't made from weird food you have to hunt for; they are made from items already in your kitchen. And they are reecips anyone can eat for good health. So, if one member of your family has diabetes, the whole family can eat this food and love it.The reecips are great, especially the desserts. And you thought you couldn't eat dessert with diabetes! The Carbohydrate Choices is a great counting device. I've never seen it in any other cookbook and I find it much easier to use than exchanges. Plus, it's not just a cookbook. There's doctor's advice and management plans inside. This book is very uplifting and practical.GET THIS BOOK! IT'S THE BEST DIABETES COOKBOOK, hands down.

I did eat only fruit f one year, once, gave up on food, and ate only if invited to relatives homes, and did lose a lot of weight but got too low in weight and went back to food again, and now am over weight now, and have fat abdomen and and such, am about 40 pounds heavier over weight , now, and do not eat out much. \i am hating salt and fat, and love bread in a not too much eaten amount, |I hate white wheat foods and and use both kinds of insulin, and walk for exercise wisely, in sunlight, sore joints and burning feet that curl under in spasms , magnesium and b complex vit, for that helps, but now feet are even m ore of a problem, I minimally use feet, now, using dry brush and creams and but have to go eat , in sugar low, now... less weight gives better sugar control, and but food is a problem as it gives more sugar control problems.. diabetic means not so much food for you, and eating just fruit and vegetables is key ... just to fill tummy of hunger is best but not full range of foods... but taking vitamins is needed. Exercise and water is needed. I use milk and of low fat , and molasses instead of sugar in pure state for low sugar times. or fruit juice in real nature of no sugar added kinds. Or just oranges, ...and a few pieces of bread in grain bread kind. Lack of foods and Dr, helps in real kinds , out here..

We are from California, and now live in Egypt for 15 years, now, I am 62, and but there are a lot of scary so called doctors, out here, and driving far is dangerous , and so I do not see drs. and do not use blood monitoring equipment, as it is up and down and dysfunctional and is laboring to use all days and nights and is expensive to use.... it drives me mad.. We are going back to America to stay, now, soon. My feet are a problem and eye is acting up in vision but Doc says my eye is alright... and but feet respond to magnesium, and B complex vit. I am moody and have Menopause, and a long visit of that, I walk for 30 min. a day if I am not too tired to do so, and am depressed a lot, but love Rescue remedy a lot... or had it only once... but intend to use it a the Drs. here are crazy and not to be trusted... they over dose you in insulin and or say another line in less insulin.. I stay away from sugar and honey and dates, I get less sleep as grandchild and cat are my problems , and sleep in wrong bed, as house is full of people, and but are leaving, love ear plugs of wax, and and eye masks, Sore joints and burning feet, and awake to fix food and insulin to control foot pain. And to control joint pain... insulin high , right now..

I appreciate the clarity of this post, it is also depressing. Is retinopathy inevitable? I work hard to manage my diabetes and to limit incidence of high blood sugar, but am I just going to end up with complications? This raises the question of what defines "safe" bgl numbers. Some people in the diabetes blogosphere question the ADA guidelines and assert that damage stops at 155 under and preferrably 140 or under. Maybe this is a topic for a future post?

Market Garden Brewery
Online Reservations
We went for my Mom's birthday this past weekend. The service was fantastic. The beer is always great. My boyfriend and I actually went back for lunch yesterday. The only complaint I have is that the pork tacos were not very flavorful..I couldn't even eat them (which is unlike me). This is why I rated the food at Good instead of Very Good. Our waitress was great though - she put in another order for me because I didn't like the tacos. I ended up getting the beer cheese soup and chroizo joe - great choice! I tried my boyfriend's burger and spicy caesar salad which were awesome as well! Overall great service, food and drink! I think this will be our go-to from now on in Ohio City.
Fabulous Easter Brunch - my daughter thought the breakfast sandwich was the "best thing she ever ate". Awesome bloody marys. Our server was great - fun to talk to. Already made reservations for Mother's Day.
Was so happy that they were open on Easter. Had reservation for 3 pm for five people. Had our table ready and we were sat right away. Melody took care of all of our requests with a smile and quick wit. We had drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts. Bar service was fast and accurate. Beer was excellent. Mixed drinks made well. Food was amazing, approaching religious. Will go back!
I had a fantastic time at Market Garden brunch. Their drinks were great, the food was great, overall I can't complain. Generally speaking, it was really busy, so it was sometimes difficult to get the attention of the waiters, but it wasn't that big a deal and I think they were as attentive as they could be.
Always an interesting beer selection and their steak was surprisingly good for a beer bar. I usually stick to sandwiches at bars, but will now have to try some more of their entrees in the future.
We made reservations just before heading over and while they do not guarantee outside seating, we were able to get a table for 2 outside on a beautiful evening. The brewmaster's platter was excellent, although it is a little small for the price. (A similar item at the Black Pig left me very full.) The beers are excellent, as are the battered shrimp tacos.
No problems checking in at the side entrance by West Side Matket and getting a nice table on the patio. Great brink outdoor ambiance with butcher block tables ... never made it inside to look around. Waitress was aces when my eggplant sandwich was a little shy on the main ingredient and changed it out for a delicious burger. Spinach salad was split between two people. Outstanding beer selection. Shrimp tacos were just OK but had them grilled instead of battered which could be why. Will come back again ...
We were first time diners last Sunday. The brunch menu was perfect for Mother's Day!
The first floor level was great for my mother which is 84.
Traveling from out of town and found this for a last minute Mothers' Day brunch. Menu was unique and food preparation excellent. Great local brews, especially the Porter and Stout. I thought we were just "settling' for whatever we could find on late notice, but it was a great experience. I'm not from the area, but all you locals should be flocking to this place.
I've been to Market Garden about 8 times & have never been disapointed. Great beer, great food and very friendly crowd. I had the scallops and was a little hesitant to order since I'm not a big fan of califlower. Boy was I wrong. Now my favroite dish there.
We had excellent service and the food was great. The only problem was that they were out of a couple of different things.
Rarely do places have really good vegan options and good fried chicken. The cauliflower steak was delicious. The microbrews were good- well done middle of the road beers.most notable is the American lager, brown lager and the IPA was well done. Great beer garden out back full o pretty young folk. Loved this place and would go again if I ever wind up in Cleveland again.
This is a nice place, but not if you're a calorie conscious eater. You'll find no 300 calorie dishes here unless you split your dinner and take home half or more for the next day.
We eat here often and the food is always amazing! Service was slower than usual this time but we still had a great time!
the atmosphere downstairs is good (haven't ever been upstairs), the food was good but not great, a bit expensive and somewhat slow in preparation, but the beer makes up for any of these shortcomings. I had three different beers, and every one was just exceptional.
A great dining experience. My wife and I started with an appetizer of the Pretzel. Very tasty, the mustard and Garlic Cheese were great compliments. I chose a sampler of beers, which included- Wahoo Wit, Wallace Tavern, Boss Amber Lager, Lakeside Lager, Cluster Fuggle IPA and Viking Pale Ale. Difficult to pick which was my favorite out of the bunch. I did like Cluster Fuggle and Wahoo Wit enough to take a couple of Growlers home to enjoy over the weekend. For dinner my wife had the Flat Iron Steak. It was excellent and cooked to perfection. I chose the Seared Scallops. Also a great dish - cooked to perfection. Our Server, Tim was very attentive and always arrived when we needed him. I can't wait until our next visit to Market Garden.
Market Garden is a favorite for my husband and I. Although it is not really kid friendly (no high chairs), the food, beer, atmosphere and service are always great. This past weekend we took the in-laws to dinner there and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. I recommend this spot for any occasion!
Everything was great except the fries. We came down to eat before a show Monday night. We had great service. Our server recommended a beer which was great. My friends had bloody marys which were amazing. I tried the hot dog for dinner. I couldn't resist finding out what bacon jam was! The hot dog was really good. My only complaint was the french fries. The fries were hard. You could tell they had been overcooked. I will definitely come back!
Great house brew selections. Fun place to see W. 25th street hopping
Wait staffers were very cordial and drinks arrived quickly. However, the food order arrived after a considerable amount of time had passed. Food quality was very good and, of course, the beer was excellent. Our out-of-town guests were very pleased.
Since my brother was about to leave for Chicago and we wouldn't see him for his birthday next month, we decided to take him out somewhere none of us had ever eaten: Market Garden Brewery. We tried a flight of their brewed-on-site beers and loved the selection and variety. We were also very pleased with the hot pretzel appetizer we ordered, as well as all of our dishes. It was a lovely night in Ohio City, so we sat outside and took in the sights of W. 25th street. I will definitely be back, whether to eat or drink!
We went with a group and loved it. Excellent service, perfect music and the beer and food will bring us back.
The beer and the food were excellent as usual. Have not had bad service or anything else here yet. Keep up great work.
Market Square serves some of the best beer you're going to find -- great selection of unfiltered brews -- and the menu goes great with the beer selections. Great for a casual get-together with friends who appreciate the finer things in beer.
Everything I tried at Market Garden was tasty. The mustard that comes with the scotch egg was especially good! You can tell that the chef puts a lot of skill and effort into creating each dish - and the servers are informed about the menu options. The servers are quite friendly and attentive too. Bottom line though, it seemed a bit overpriced to me. Not terribly, but for the portion sizes it just didn't seem like a great value. I'd go back, but only if others wanted to.
Market Garden is becoming a favorite dining spot when I come to Cleveland. The beer is really good and the flights are huge. I like hops and found the IPAs and PAs to be very pleasant. I also tried the nitro stout and that was good. The menu is a bit different. They do have burgers and salads, but there are some interesting items including meat and cheese plates from the West Side Market. I had the perogi and they were quite tasty. The inside is nice, but we sat outside to watch the activity on 25th Street. Service was quite good even with a "new" waiter. The manager came to our table, explained the waiter was new and checked to be sure we were getting good service (the mark of a good manager). Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
We chose the restaurant to take a friend from London England for a taste of Cleveland. The location, food & service was great. We were not rushed not forgotten. We enjoyed the evening.
While I love this place for its beers( I actually beg my friends to go here instead of GLB). The food needs a little pick me up...taste is awesome on most things, but what you pay for it and the size is just kinda sad. I got the steak while it was cooked correctly...it was lacking when it came down to the potatoes. It was like not even a 1/4 of a cup. Now not to sound stupid but potatoes are cheap put at least a 1/2 cup on there. My mom got the burger and it looked pre-made....but it did have a boat load of fries :-/ lol
Atmosphere at Market Garden is great! Awesome outdoor patio with large tables. Great selection of food and drinks as well. Nice bar scene. Awesome place for a fun night out to relax with friends.
We enjoyed the BBQ popcorn and the beer selections. Service was good, they moved our table from the downstairs area which was too cold. Sandwiches were well made and tacos were very good.
Food was very good and went great with the beers we were sampling.
I had the egg plant sandwich. It was very good. It came with a load of fries. Beer coice is really good. We sat in the basement. It was not crowded. Fireplace was nice.
Had dinner on a busy Saturday night. Open table reservation breezed us past a long line of walk ins to a basement table. Nice atmosphere, attentive service, good house beers and a good variety of dishes. Pierogi, Chicken sandwich and trout were all good.
They make their own very good beer here. Appetizers were good and not too expensive. Busy crowd, but easy to talk and enjoy with a group of friends.
Went for dinner there before going to a concert downtown. We wanted somewhere fun but casual with good food and good atmosphere so decided to give this a try. Everyone's dinner was excellent, and the beer was outstanding. Can't wait to go back.
Magnificent. Its what a beer garden should be. Noise. People. Food, Family, BEER, Beer, beer . . .
Food was delicious and our waitress, Hannah, was very helpful and friendly.

I've visited southern states before and I'm pretty sure "all y'all" is the equivalent of "all of you all."
From what I understand, "y'all" can be used to address one person or multiple people, although originally it would be more likely to have been used in the plural sense.
It's a bit of a joke, but... heck, I better let this guy explain it.
It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!
It's good to see new RBN songs coming out again. "The Spark of Life" is still unable to be purchased but I'll try again tomorrow.
yeah I can't purchase The Spark of Life either... when I hit download it says the song is free
More Ayreon!
"Fire has other worldly powers" -Lawdog1521
Thanks for flagging this. To clarify, the track does show up in the store for 160 MSP, but when you click on it the price changes to 0 MSP and you're no longer able to purchase, correct?
It's not displaying correctly on Xbox.com either, so this is likely a Microsoft issue. I'll flag to them ASAP.
hmxhenry "We never stopped loving you, not for a second."
Wake Up shows no price on xbox.com, just like The Spark Of Life. Also weirdly enough it has a RB2 icon instead of RB3, despite the URL denoting that it's for RB3. Also it doesn't show up on the marketplace or xbox.com, you can only access it by URL.
Wake Up and Spark having the same pricing issues as the rest of RBN during the beta makes me think that whatever fix Microsoft used during the beta only applied to songs that were already on the marketplace, and not towards new content.

I was planning a little trip the other day when I noticed that a number of rivers in Britain have common names. The ones I spotted were Avon, Ouse and Esk. Is there a reason for this? Are these names derived from something?
Avonhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Avon_%28Warwickshire%29#Etymology Ousehttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/Ouse+River Eskhttp://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/engplnam.html It would seem none of the naming was very original to begin with. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Esk or, Exe from isca I suggest is "Celtic" related to "pisces" hence "fish river". Axe is said not to be cognate with Exe. | |||||
