EVERETT, WA – Everett Community College is introducing an evening engineering transfer degree program starting this fall, the first at a north Puget Sound community college.
Fall classes start Sept. 24 and include Introduction to Design, Preparation for Chemistry and Calculus 1. To get started at EvCC, visit www.everettcc.edu/getstarted.
"With the new evening sequence, we are helping to address our state's serious shortage of engineers," EvCC engineering instructor Eric Davishahl said. "By offering evening classes, we're adding capacity in our program and serving those who work during the day."
In Washington, the number of students graduating with engineering, software engineering and architecture baccalaureate and graduate degrees is about half the number needed to fill jobs in those areas, according to the Higher Education Coordinating Board's 2011 Regional Needs Analysis Report.
To help meet the demand, EvCC will add 10 evening classes in the engineering transfer degree program in 2012-13, seven new classes in 2013-14 and five new classes in 2014-15. Evening classes generally start at 4 p.m.
By taking approximately 10 credits per quarter in the evenings, students will be able to complete an engineering transfer associate of sciences degree in three years. This degree includes the math, science and engineering prerequisites for most engineering bachelor's of science programs in the state.
"This degree is an efficient and attractive pathway for students who want to transfer to Washington's baccalaureate engineering programs but who also want the small classes, learner-centered instruction and affordability that are characteristic of Everett Community College," Davishahl said.
EvCC is also hiring a third full-time, tenure-track engineering instructor for fall quarter.
Also starting Fall 2012, students can earn a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Washington State University on EvCC's campus through the University Center of North Puget Sound. For more information, visit www.uceverett.org
To get started at EvCC, visit www.everettcc.edu/getstarted for details about applying and registering for classes. For more information about EvCC's engineering program, contact instructor Eric Davishahl at 425-388-9246 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Online Reservations
We chose this restaurant due to its proximity to the theatre. It was an excellent choice.
Our Server was amazing. Treating us so well, and making sure our date was seamless! Thank you!
We knew nothing about Vivere, just picked it because it was close to the theatre. WOW...what a great experience. Loved our entire meal including the decadent dessert. Service was great too, just an all around excellent experience. Highly recommend.
Excellent selection of food...prepared and served with elegant style. Meals were delicious. There were 12 in our party and everything was exceptionally good. Kudos to chefs and wait staff for making our dinner a memorable one. Can't wait to go back.
Interior looks like an old authentic Italian restaurant - probably because it is! Food was good. Wine list adequate. I got the seafood pasta which was a little lacking in flavor - advertised as a bit spicy but I thought it was on the bland side. Servers are used to getting diners in and out in time for the shows and consequently service was quick and generally attentive. I'd go again.
Very good cuisine. Very convenient for the theater crowd. Staff was helpful in accommodating theater and all requests. Very nice decor.
Fabulous food and service! A hidden gem downtown. Whether you are going to a show and eating dinner before or having lunch during the work day, this restaurant is wonderful.
Excellent food! I had the lasagna & a great Italian Red. Waiters 1st words were "Are you going to the show?" Awesome! He made sure we were served quickly so as to get the B of A Theater on time. Nice ambiance too!
Vivere was a new dining experience for my wife and myself. Our reservations were earlier enough that we nearly had the dining room to ourselves for a while. The service was attentive, timely, but never intrusive. The room's temperature was a bit cool, especially since the outdoor temps were unseasonably cool for late July. A large--and very boisterous--group eventually assembled in the loft area near our table and their volume took away a bit from our experience but we were grateful that most of our mealtime conversation could be shared with a more intimate tone. We certainly intend to return!
My wife and I visited Vivere for our anniversary. It was the first time we had hand-made pasta and we both thought it was delicious. It appears to be popular with the Majestic Theater crowd and the staff seemed sensitive to that by rushing those orders as much as feasible. The decore is vintage 70's, but my wife and I are old enough to appreciate that. When the restaurant is full of theater goers I suspect it would be quite noisy. We arrived late enough that it quieted down significantly when our meal came out of the kitchen. Our waiter of friendly and diligent by ensuring our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed. We will definitely return next time we're in Chicago.
We were pleasantly surprised by this special place! It is very welcoming, neat, updated and chic, and conveniently located in the theatre district. The staff was on top of their game, and asked if we had a show deadline. We told them to take care of those patrons first, yet they didn't stop giving us attention. The menu is fabulous and creative - so different from standard Italian cuisine, and it was hard to decide what to order! My husband had the pasta special, which was a beautifully-hued hand cut roasted tomato tagliatelle with the house special sausage, and I had the vegetarian fresh spinach-herb ravioli - both were awesome! Great wine pairings! The service was prompt yet unhurried, so we could really relax and enjoy. Buon appetito!
We wanted to dine somewhere close to the theater and we wanted it to be romantic. Vivere delivered. The staff is extremely attentive and efficient. The wine selection was excellent. The food was good but for the price I was expecting more. I ordered the lasagna but it was slightly over salted. The desserts here where delicious! We had the creme brûlée and the chocolate cake with coconut gelato, both were just the right sweetness for an after meal dessert. We were able to leave our car with the valet while we enjoyed our show at the theater, I thought that was a nice perk too. All in all other than my slightly salty lasagna we really liked Vivere and would definitely come back to try some of their other dishes.
Vivere is our favorite restaurant in Chicago. We never miss eating there when we come to Chicago. The food, the service and the ambiance are wonderful.
The chef comes to your table, as does the somnolent, to discuss your preferences. The chef then plans a specific 4 course tasting menu to suit your tastes. Wines are paired with each course per your preferences. It was spectacular!
I had the seasonal tomato salad, bacon wrapped stuffed pork tenderloin and the blood orange blueberry sorbetto. Fantastic meal. Over the top good. The salad had 4 or 5 different tomatoes each with their own distinctive flavor. The pork loin was stuffed with dates and nuts and was so tender that a knife was not required. The sorbetto was amazingly intense flavor, yet super refreshing. You must eat here.
Quiet enough to talk for professional dinner. Ravioli with pesto excellent. Extensive wine list.
Cod was fair, duck was very good. Tomato bisque was very good, as was the lettuga salad.
The food was outstanding! The lasagna was so rich and savory-I've never tasted anything quite like it. The bolognese was very good made with tagliatelle. It was our anniversary and the staff treated us well. Banana cake is a must!
We hasn't been to Vivere in 15 years and so much has changed since then. They have a new, young executive chef who has taken some risks and put some wonderful twists on old Italian classics. We decided to do the tasting menu, which was an excellent choice. The chef came to our table and asked us our likes and dislikes and from there he prepared a special meal just for us. He gave my husband and I different dishes with each course so that we could share, so we got to sample eight dishes in all. With each course, the sommelier brought a perfectly matched wine to the table. Then the chef personally delivered each course to us and explained what went into each dish. The meal was delicious and so worth it! Our compliments to the chef!
The waiter was cognizant of our theater tickets and timed our dinner perfectly.
We went to Vivere before going to the theater. We had a lovely dinner. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our service couldn't have been better. We were served efficiently, but not rushed. I highly recommend Vivere.
Nice intimate resturant with a lot of energy, service was great, and food was even better. Strongly recommend the pheasant ravioli.
I took my best friend here for her birthday. I couldn't ask for a better place. We had theatre tickets and they were very good about getting us out on time without feeling rushed. The food was outstanding and the dessert was delicious! Would definitely come back
We did not expect such an outstanding experience last Wednesday. Chef Giacometti presented an amazing four course dinner, we plan to return soon.
best wine list in city best value dont miss the funghi tortine
Was able to get last minute reservation through opentable prior to attending Book of Mormons musical Slightly chilled temperature as we were near door Had to ask for butter as no olive oil offered or available on table Overall very good
I had a great experience. We showed up early for our reservation and they sat us immediately. We told the waiter we wanted to enjoy wine before looking at the menu and he gave us space and time. I appreciate a waiter that will not make you feel rushed. On the other hand, I overheard the next table say they were running short on time and he was very responsive to get them things as quickly as possible. The prices were a bit on the high side but worth it in my opinion. I am glad to pay for quality. The wine list is a bit overwhelming at first but if you narrow your search to the type of wine you want and price you will be fine. I wanted an 07 California Red. I went with the Le Vigne di Domenico from Peso Robles and it was great for $75.
We went to Vivere pre-evening show of The Book of Mormon. Seemed like half the restaurant had the same idea as it quickly emptied between 78 and 7:15 for the two minute walk to nearby Bank of Americas Theater. Food was excellent, service a bit slow but not unexpected due to the number of diners. Would go again
The linguini was excellent, service quick and we got in and out in plenty of time to get to The Book of Mormon
Tasty, well composed and creative food with thoughtful friendly service. We had not heard much from acquaintances about this restaurant, and depended instead on Yelp and Urbanspoon to choose it for a pre-theater birthday dinner. We were not disappointed, enjoyed a very delicious and carefully prepared meal and finished in more than enough time for a 7:30 show. We were even given creme brulee as a surprise dessert for a birthday treat!
This is right around the corner from Bank of America Theatre, and the servers ask right away if the patrons are needing to catch the show. The service is prompt, friendly, and helpful. The mushroom soup and buffalo mozzarella appetizer was great, and the lobster risotto was fantastic. The raviolis did not have as much flavor as we would have hoped, but the wine was fantastic. Overall, we would definitely eat here again.
My husband and I dined here with 2 other couples before walking down the street to the a show at the BofA theater. It was a enjoyable dinner & very convenient for pre-theater dining. They have a $12 valet parking deal & they allow you to leave the car there until after the play lets out. As for the dinner, we had a great table on the second level of the restaurant overlooking the first floor. Our waiter was very good and recommended some appetizers for the table which were excellent. Everyone was happy with their entrees, though I'd say everything was very good, but perhaps not excellent. The food was Italian and creative... not your typical run-of-the-mill options. I'd highly recommend this restaurant, particularly for pre-theater dining.
Cheeses on the meats and cheese plate were fantastic as well as the prosciutto. Amazing entrees. Nothing was just ok. Excellent food !
It is a lovely restaurant with great service and unpretentious food next to the theater.
The flavor of the food was great. The dining room was a little cramped. It almost seemed like our table for two was an afterthought. It was on an uneven spot on the floor so it rocked when you touched the table. Since we were running late 20 minutes and they accommodated our reservation, this was a minor detail. The food was very good and despite being busy they got us out in time to make our show. Overall a good choice.
Went here for my birthday, nice and quiet and delicious food, great service
Due to delays in Chicago Marathon traffic, we were 45 minutes late for our reservation and short on time before our concert. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the martinis were ice cold and brought immediately, the meal was excellent (as always), and we were out the door on time feeling relaxed, satisfied, and not rushed at all.
To begin, the service was exceptional! Dane was our server and although quite busy, he did not make us feel as if we weren't his most valued guests. He was extremely pleasant and extremely knowledgeable on the entire menu. He catered what we were looking for into a menu item and did so with great patience and a smile. Once the food arrived, the table fell silent. We had the roasted chicken, bacon wrapped pork stuffed with pine nuts and raisins, and the short rob "lasagna"...absolutely delicious!!!!! As if it couldn't get any better, dessert was the perfect way to top the evening and matched the decadence of the meal all around... Salted caramel gelato with a hot espresso pour. Well done Vivere!!! You topped our night!
We dined here several time food, service etc. always perfect!
Confident and appealing architecture and interior design. This is not some boring safe trendy minimalist ubiquitous hipster design. It's a look and feel that is meant to create memories and reward your attention. The seating has everything from intimate little booths to the wide open tables where we could show off our beautiful dates. From the friendly hostess and on, staff was classy, confident, and professional. With a group of six (3 fit finicky girls, and 3 plate-clearing men who debate what makes a good caper berry), we covered the menu. An hour after dinner, and again the next morning, we are still settling whose appetizer and entree picks were the best. We all loved the place.
Good food, attentive service and good wine selections
We had a very delicious dinner at Vivere - the menu was intriguing, light, and well executed, and our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant is located in the Italian Village, a group of restaurants that have been in Chicago a long time. I found the decor of Vivere quite bizarre, and immediately thought it looked like a Cheesecake Factory - which it turned out was true, as they have the same architect! The food was in no way like that, though - very nicely prepared.
We chose Vivere for dinner before going to the Chicago Theater for an 8:00 show. Valet parking was $12 and you can leave your car while at the show! We had 6:30 reservations, they sat us immediately, took a drink order and asked us what time the show started. We had grill calamari which was good. My husband had the pheasant ravioli and I had the butternut squash ravioli. Both homemade and outstanding. Perfect for before the theater!
We had a reservation for 6, but had 3 more that wanted to join us at last minute. I called to change reservation and there was no problem. this was our fourth time at your restaurant and we enjoyed the food again. we will be back again next year.
Good food, great service- very knowledgeable about food! Definately would return!
My husband and I visited Vivere before a concert at the Cadillac Palace. We had a great table for people watching and an adorable waiter who met our every need. He asked if we had theater tickets and assured us we would have plenty of time to enjoy our dinner. He was right. My duck with risotto was divine, and my husband's short rib lasagne was flavorful and filling. The wine by the glass was excellent and reasonable. We were glad we had reservations as the room filled up rapidly with a mix of couples and families. The short walk to the theater was just what we needed to let our dinner settle. It was the perfect start to an enjoyable evening.
We opted for Vivere before a Lyric Opera performance. The prompt and attentive service made our timing perfect, and the food was a real joy!
Overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend the pheasant filled pasta, angolottini de fagiano, I think.
I had a great experience at Vivere this past Saturday night. My server was great, the food was excellent, and the free birthday dessert was delicious.
We were celebrating our 35th anniversary, and our waiter surprised us with dessert and candle. That was a very nice touch. The courses were spread just perfect, not too soon, not too late.

text: My aunt gave birth to a 6lb 4 oz. little girl this morning. Unfortunately, the baby came 7.5 weeks early and probably was a direct result of the emergency apendectomy she had last friday and the pneumonia she caught. From what little information that we got, the baby is breathing on her own and they just need to check her moro (swallowing) reflex. Otherwise she looks fine. However, no one was expecting her yet. My uncle told me last week that he needed to start the nursery. They hadnt picked up a name yet, figuring they had time to do so.

Not sure where this should have been posted, so i apologise in advance if it has to be moved.
Why is there a limit on people i can block?
I have the list maxed out but there's still more people i would have liked to have added to it, there's ~77 million users on Playstation Network?, so at least 500 would have been a good idea, I'm sure the block lists would take up memory/resources on the server, so if this limit could be increased without making a drain on these resources then please do guys, I dont block people who talk trash, we all do at some point and I'm old enough to deal with it, i only block those i know to be cheating and the racists, if you cant talk trash to each other without resorting to racists remarks then its a major fail.
What does blocking someone do besides stopping messages from them?,
does it make it less likely to put you in a match with someone you've blocked?,
I know it doesnt perma mute them like on xbox, because there have been quite a few times on Call of dooty where i have been put into the same game as some one i just blocked a few days/weeks before, but that would be a nice addition.
Also, the complaints proceedure needs to be easier to access, and during a game (if it's not already), as there has been plenty of people deserving of being reported but by the time you get to the XMB, you cant remember if it was iIIxXPrOSnIPeZXxIIi or IiiXxPrOsNIPeZxXiiI and in my case anyway, I'd only be reporting serious cheaters and foul mouthed racists,, not trash talkers who throw verbal abuse at me as i can handle that, plus it's funny sometimes.
A suggestion I'd like to make, would be to give a reason why you're blocking someone, then that reason you give would be passed on as a complaint, no?
Solved! Go to Solution.
on 13-12-2011 12:32 PM
their is a limit to how many you can block?
Now that's a bit daft.
Should be unlimited

Readers of this blog will be familiar with the planned 1,500km Internet link between La Guaira, Vargas state, in northern Venezuela to Siboney in the eastern province of Santiago de Cuba that is slated to open in 2010 or so (curiously, the work on installing it has not even begun in earnest).
So when by the Miami-based TeleCuba Communications recently announced that they got the permission (from the US Treasury) to install the 110-mile fiber-optic cable between Key West and Havana came as somewhat of a surprise: while they could probably do it cheaper than Hugo Chavez, it was not clear how the Cuban authorities would react to such a gesture of cyber-solidarity.
Well, now we know: they do not like and consider it a threat to their...sovereignty, no less:
Francisco Hartmann, director of strategy for Cuba's national Office of Information, said his government has "no official knowledge that there is interest to negotiate" such a project, and he indicated they may frown on it if asked.
"If all the information that we have passes by cable to Florida, that technological independence, the sovereignty that for us is so important, what will happen to it?" he asked at a news conference.
BusinessWeek has more on this. I think it's an important question to ask, especially in our age of regular cyber-attacks, cable cuts, and Internet surveillance. Cuba faces a tough dilemma: they do want cheap, fast, and reliable (and, of course, easy to control) Internet access, but they don't want to get it from the most obvious source - the US - for the reasons of national security (and I think it's hard to blame them).
The question is: will Hugo Chavez pick up the bill for a cable that would be 10x longer and surely much more expensive, only to assure Cubans that CIA won't be spying on them?
I don't care if it's "slacktivism" but this Facebook campaign is incredibly funny: launching DDOS attacks on God by simultaneous prayer
As you may already be aware, recently the Atheist Founation of Australia and the Global Atheist Convention websites were the target of a significant DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, which began on Monday 19 October.
This is a call to all non-believers and advocates for freedom of speech to join us in a global co-ordinated minute of prayer with the aim of inundating God (in this context, the Christian god, God, as distinct from the Greek god, Zeus, the Egyptian god, Ra etc etc) with so many useless prayers that it causes his divineness to go offline as as result of our own DDOS ('Divine' Denial of Service).
The prayer minute will be at exactly 8pm (Eastern Standard Time) and 9am (Greenwich Mean Time) on Sunday 8 November 2009.
According to this article published on a Russian news-site Inbox.ru, Russia has moved one inch closer to the China-style system of filtering the Web. Russia's Ministry of Communications has urged ISPs to start filtering "negative" Internet content in places that provide public access to the Internet (think cafes, libraries, etc). Such filters have already been planned to be installed in Russian schools.
It may not seem that ominous - after all, many European governments have the same filtering restrictions - but it looks particularly bad in the light of a new Russian law on Internet controls, which was preliminary passed by Duma earlier this year. Entitled "Defending children from information that may hurt their health and development" (what a name!), the law would require all users to verify their age before being able to surf the Web. By default all users will be assumed to be 6-year-old kids. It's not yet clear how that verification would happen. The fear is that many ISPs will simply cut access to some Internet sites in order to avoid potential problems if their users turn to be under the legal age...
For all the talk about the positive impact that mobile technology can have on education, officials in the East Java are not convinced. From the Jakarta Post:
The Kediri Education Office has launched raids across schools in the East Java town to crack down on students bringing cell phones to class.
Education officials and teachers at 192 schools have also begun searching students' bags, motorcycle saddlebags and other items for cell phones.
The crackdown was conducted after the Kediri municipal administration issued a regulation prevent all elementary to senior high school students from bringing cell phones to school. Heri Siswanto, head of the education office's public junior education unit, said his office had issued the decree last Friday.
"We've seized dozens of students' cell phones," he said Monday.
"We found many of them hidden in students' motorbike saddlebags, even though we informed them previously about the regulation."
He added all the relevant institutions would continue holding such raids until all schools in the city were free from cell phones.
I guess that's one way to deal with the shortening attention span in the classroom...
On hearing the news that web-sites of several atheist foundations/NGOs have become victims of severe DDoS attacks, I could only think about one thing: it would be quite hard to blame these attacks on either China or Russia. From ZDNet Australia:
The websites of the Atheist Foundation of Australia and the Global Atheist Convention were knocked offline yesterday due to a sustained distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
At the time of writing the Atheist Foundation's site was still null routed with the Global Atheist Convention site saying that it does not have enough information to confirm the source or reason for the attacks. The site has also called the attacks "not just an attack on atheism, but an attack on freedom of speech".
So how long will it take for the paranoid cyberwarfare community to link God to those attacks? I am particularly curious how Wall Street Journal would go about this one. I bet it's going to be something along the lines of "our undisclosed sources among former CIA agents reveal that God, acting via cybercriminal groups based in Russia and China, is engaging in acts of cyberwarfare. According to smart guys at CSIS, a prominent Washington think-tank, this may threaten the security of the US power grid and lead to Apocalypse. All because Obama hasn't appointed the Cyber Czar yet".
The amount of energy that had been exerted by the Twitterati to save the now infamous "balloon boy" would probably be enough to prevent at least a few dozen African genocides. They even started their own campaign with its own hashtag: #savetheballoonboy, which for a while was a trending topic on Twitter. That is, it was a trending topic before it turned out that the boy was hiding in his house and had not had any relationship with that balloon.
I cannot help but note the similarity to an earlier (and somewhat longer) Facebook campaign in Denmark which purported to save a city landmark that nobody was actually threatening. What a better way to mark Blog Action Day (celebrated today, October 15th) than to organize a meaningless "slacktivist" campaign on Twitter? I think I need to start conceptualizing what celebrations for a Blog Inaction Day might look like: we have many more occasions to celebrate those.
Well, that's all in agreement with the first rule of "slacktivism": tweet first, act second. When tools are available and bandwidth is cheap, activism goes into a 24/7 always-on mode, where slacktivists organize campaigns not because they need to, but because they can. After all, when all your friends are tweeting about some cause, you should too - because if you don't, your friends may ask questions. "Slacktivism" thrives in the digital panopticon that our "networked public sphere" is: we engage in causes not because we care about them but because it's "cool" and it's guaranteed that all our friends will see the badge of honor.
What is often overlooked is the fact that "slacktivists" abandon their causes as easily and frivolously as they take them on. They have very little intellectual or emotional stake in them and this is natural. The problem is that it fosters a very cynical attitude to activism and social change, where every campaign - no matter how serious and noble - can essentially be viewed as yet another Internet joke, perhaps, not as funny as those that deal with funny pictures of cats but pretty close. When people use Facebook and Twitter to campaign on 25 different causes, chances are they don't seriously care about any one of them.
And this all-pervasive cynicism with which members of the slacktivist generation treat extremely serious social problems is very off-putting and disturbing. What was the reaction to the #ballonboy story after the boy's whereabouts were disclosed? Humor. Some of it the jokes were mildly funny; most of it them were in bad taste. For example, the most popular joke - which also became a trending topic on Twitter - was making fun of Anne Frank, of all people (implying that she had a much better hide-out space in the attic - all phrased to sound as it was coming from Kanye West).
Well, if a tasteless joke about one of the most dramatic symbols of the Holocaust becomes the most popular topic on Twitter, there is something fundamentally wrong with the taste and norms of that community. This cynicism is not going to have any positive impact on the nature of civic engagement in the age that is heavily mediated by Twitter and Facebook.
The big tech/politics story of this week is the victory of the Guardian - abetted by hordes of Twitter activists - over Trafigura, an energy company - abetted by hordes of lawyers (Trafigura has allegedly been responsible for dumping toxic waste in the Ivory Coast). Confusion over the exact stipulations of a court injunction issued in the case prevented the Guardian from reporting on a Trafigura-related question that had been asked by a UK lawmaker in the British parliament. After the Guardian complained -- very publicly -- Trafigura's lawyers stated that preventing the Guardian from reporting from the parliament was not the intent of the original injunction and agreed to change its terms, to avoid any future misunderstanding.
Well, before Trafigura's lawyers made that announcement, Twitter users had been outraged by such blatant gagging of a British newspaper from reporting on their own parliament, pushing Trafigura and its lawyers into Twitter's top charts! So, was it a victory for digital activists, who have challenged powerful corporate interests? Well, this is not a lesson that I have drawn from this saga. What we have learnt from the Trafigura story is that digital activism campaigns have much greater chances of success in well-established democracies with a vibrant public life.
Why did Trafigura act so fast? Well, they have a reputation to protect and clients to lose; I doubt that anyone in their right mind would think that forcing a newspaper not to report on what's going on in a national parliament could ever be justified. If Twitter wasn't around, the British yellow press would surely pick up this fight, because it simply looks too tempting not to have a quick jab at the corporate interests here (I think there are simply no cogen arguments to be made in support of the ban on reporting from the Parliament- that's why Trafigura retracted so quickly).
But, broadly speaking, for networks of activists to exert influence on power structures, those structures have to be responsible, transparent, and fluid. The reason why the anti-Trafigura campaign succeeded is that the U.K. already enjoys a rather healthy democracy, whatever its minor shortcomings are. A similar campaign in Belarus or Uzbekistan would almost surely fail, because state newspapers have nothing to lose (they are subsidized by the government), the private sector doesn't exist, and bureaucrats do not really care about their reputations or the reputations of the structures that they represent.
Just look at the failure to mobilize civil society in Azerbaijan over the case of two activist bloggers who are now facing jail sentences. No matter how many Twitter users stand up for their cause, I doubt any digital activism campaigns could sway the Azeri authorities.
For digital activism to be truly effective in repressive environments, one needs ot find a way how to shake (or erode) the rigid foundations of the ruling regime. This is where the power of traditional civil society organizations, intellectuals, and NGOs comes in: without pressure that they exert on the authoritarian state, forcing it to be more accountable (or simply to make mistakes), digital activism would be useless. Digital activists are already light years ahead of most regimes; the same, unfortunately, cannot be said about human rights or politicial activists.

Very Easy Interview
I applied in-person and the process took a day - interviewed at Monash University in June 2009.
Interview Details It was an informal discussion with the person who looked after all of the tutors at Monash. She was interested to learn why I wanted to be a tutor, what experience I had and those sorts of issues. Technical ability did not come into nor did understanding of economics. She was not even interested in one's ability to control a class room full of rowdy students.
Interview Question – Who was your favourite tutor and why? View Answer
Pros: Monash is a great university, with excellent teaching facilities and most of the staff have a positive attitude. The campus is really nice, and the students generally are there to learn. – Full Review

CJ's Grill
Online Reservations
CJ's is a great local restaurant for visitors and locals alike. The day we were there there happened to be a crying toddler at the next table so it was a bit noisy. The food is great and the staff very friendly and eager to please. Service was a little slow but they were trying hard; they seemed to be a little short-staffed for the noon lunch rush.
The menu doesn't change, but there are a couple of outstanding items-- the Mediterranean shrimp for one--and on the whole the food is reliably good and reasonably priced. Entrees come with soup or salad and a side, which means that one can have a complete meal (sans dessert) with wine or beer for under $30. It's on our regular visit list for Mammoth.
We appreciated the friendly staff but were disappointed with the food. They were out of trout and suggested the sock eye salmon which I ordered. It was over cooked and very dry They were also out of the steak special and suggested petite sirloin which was ok but not what we expected. The outside of the restaurant has peeling paint and could use some attention. Next time we're in Mammoth, we'll go somewhere else.
I went to the area to visit my daughter, we went to CJ's for dinner. The service was great, the food came out quick even though they were very crowded. Everything was fresh, nothing tasted cooked ahead. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone.
Really nice meal. "Home made" soup to start followed by a variety of tasty entrees. Friendly service and best meal of the holiday so far.

I travel often to Santiago for business, and usually stay at hotels in El Golf. This Best Western option was a last minute decision that worked out... great. The newest wing of the hotel is quite modern and rooms are very comfortable, breakfast are nice and restaurant overall is quite good. The location is walking distance to El Golf area but a longer walk than usual for me. My main gripe is the noise coming from the highway for rooms facing East, they really should have gone for noise-proof windows. I would stay again here but would ask for a room away from the highway side. by JC from USA on 09/04/13

Rated 4 out of 5 by 305
Rated 4 out of 5 by EricG1954 just ok
We dropped our bag off at 9:30 am and asked for early check-in. Was told to call later in the day. (was not asked about SPG membership at any of the 5 to 6 contacts with the front desk). we finally got into our room at 3:30 pm, The one bright spot was David who checked our bag in the a.m. and was polite, engaging, great attitude and treated us very well. Room was very clean and the location is a little crazy on Canal St. I understand it was a full night before we got there, but i just expect a little more from Sheratons as an SPG member- that is why you get the business. I feel that the front desk should have been a little more caring about repeat customers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by IIRE Good overall, nothing special but the view
The hotel felt expensive and a bit run down, plus cleanliness could be better for a reportedly 5 star hotel.
The club lounge felt small and the food seemed to run out in the first two days of our stay. The weekday attendant did not seem concerned.
I was assured that internet access in the room is complimentary and then I got charged for it, some days twice. I am still trying to get it off the bill.
The views from our room was great. The maids were friendly and helpful.

I stayed at the Sheraton Tribeca using my Starwood Preferred Member points for one night to celebrate a friend's bday. I found the service to be okay (nothing great) and the rooms were small and non-descript but clean. However, I was blown away by our experience with one particular staff member who made our lives easier and our trip more enjoyable the entire trip. The doorman, Eddie, was friendly and helpful and went out of his way to make my friends and I feel like we were on vacation. Thanks Eddie!!! We would come back just to see you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phil33 Great Stay! Highly recommended!
Our recent stay at the Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel was a wonderful experience! The hotel staff demonstrated a terrific demeanor towards us as being very competent, helpful, pleasant, personable, and kind. The accommodations were very clean and welcoming. The bed in our room was extremely comfortable. We wish we had this comfort on our own mattress. The bathroom shower area was roomy, easily accessible, and nicely detailed. The view...awesome very of NYC! We also had the opportunity and pleasure to experience the 21st floor terrace. The Club was very comfortable with food and drinks and the opportunity to sit inside or outside to enjoy the ambiance of gorgeous views of the NYC skyline especially at night!
Our sincere compliments and thanks to the Hotel staff for making our first stay in NYC a memorable experience! We highly recommend the Sheraton Tribeca as a destination for staying in NYC! We will stay there again for sure!

The hotel is great and so is the staff. It is centrally located for both my wife's and my needs and is visited by many taxi cabs for easy travel. Service makes the hotel and at this hotel the service from the time you enter the doors until the time you leave is excellent. It makes staying at the hotel like a mini vacation.

Big Picture: Blackburn has extended her Nobel Prize–winning work on telomeres to develop measures that aim to assess overall risks for heart disease, cancer and other chronic illnesses.
A molecular timepiece that resides inside each cell still makes headlines, decades after Elizabeth H. Blackburn conducted pioneering studies into how it works. The most recent experiments by Blackburn and other researchers have demonstrated that these cellular clocks, known as telomeres, may act as barometers of whether a person will remain healthy or not.

I apparently have never lived where it gets that cold. I got a pair of YakTrax Pros for X-mas, but no snow or ice yet, so I don't know how well they'll hold up for running.

France to ban 'psychological violence' in marriage
PARIS — France is to pass a law banning "psychological violence within the couple" and study the idea of tagging violent partners to prevent them stalking their victims, the government said Wednesday.
Prime Minister Francois Fillon announced the measures in a speech to mark the United Nations' tenth International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, promising legislation in the first half of nest year.
"It's an important step forward: the creation of this offence will allow us to deal with the most insidious situations, situations that leave no visible scars, but which leave their victims torn up inside," he said.
It is a good move to prevent women from violent attack from ex-husbands and partners. It is also beneficial because it will make vengeful males close the door on women who have hurt them by preventing stalking and other kinds of emotional payback.
According to the report, a convicted wifebeater will be forced to wear a "watch-sized electronic bracelet" that will triger an alarm whenever the wife-beater gets close to former victim.
The problems I envisaged is some women using this to pay-back their former partners. Secondly, this will also hinder any chance of the couple coming together to talk, make up, or solve their problems.

Oliver A Bistro
Online Reservations
Oliver's is a one of a kind experience nestled in the heart of Bordentown. The food, service and ambience are exceptional. You will not be not be disappointed. Highly recommended!
Oliver A Bistro is our go-to place for special dinners (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) and it's a wonderful dining experience every time. The staff is always very friendly and attentive and the food is always excellent! It also had a great ambience, quiet and romantic. If you haven't tried it yet you are missing out!
Great menu offering something different and delicious. BYOB also helps. Price is good and good is better. The mussels are awesome and they will spice them up a little for you if you ask...try it!
It's BYOB.. The appetizers were outstanding. But the entree's missed the mark a bit.
Dining at Olivers A Bistro exceeded my expectations. The service was courteous and non-intrusive. My meal was simply delicious. There was a bit of a hitch when someone in my party ordered a dessert to go that, given the menu description, was clearly not intended for takeout. But the server was quite gracious and courteous in addressing the issue and reaching a satisfactory solution. This was my first visit to Olivers A Bistro and I look forward to returning and tasting other offerings on the menu.
I meet friends for dinner every 6 weeks or so. We live far from one another, and were lucky to find Oliver's for our dinners. We are MOST never disappointed.
It was our first time and everyone enjoyed the food....great spot.
Wonderful place for a special occasion or just for great food. Attentive servers, wonderful food created with local farm ingredients by Chef Matthew McElmoyl, recently named in "Best Chefs America"! This is a favorite on our list for dining in Central Jersey!
Another great dining experience at Olivers. Love this place, BYOB and with it's changing menu, new things to try. Like the small piece menu too.
I've been going to Oliver's for years and it's always great. Danielle and Matt (the owners and chef) are always a pleasure and the wait staff (specifically Bruce) is always attentive and quick to serve. 5/5 would recommend!
As usual, we loved our meal and evening at Oliver A Bistro. Josh is THE BEST waiter!!
One of the few places in this area that has food that makes you want to return again the same week. The staff is wonderful and we are never rushed to finish our meals. Food is always a surprise depending on what the chef finds at the Farm Market and local. It is a BYOB which we prefer as we like to choose our own wine. It can be crowded on the weekend so we usually go during the week when the pace is a little slower. The cakes are to die for! Go and enjoy this wonderful restaurant you will not be disappointed.
This is one of my favorite places to go. Its cute and cozy, delicious food and BYOB. However lately the menu has been the same and what is currently on there is not very appealing. First we started with the Mushroom Bruschetta -which is amazing, definitetly one of my favorites. Then we orderd the marinated shrimp roll app and that was just ok. And also the Tuna petite app. which was NOT good. I had one bite and told the waiter about it and he just looked at me and said ok. So.. Not really the reaction i was looking for. For dinner i ordered the Rack of Lamb and my friend ordered the Crispy Chicken. The lamb was good however very small and alittle on the bland side. I love this place and hope they change the menu up alittle bit.
We arrived early and were able to score a window seat which very nice, My wife had the tuna appetizer and lamb chops and I had the muscles and scallops which were served floating on a bed of cream corn with and island of German potato salad. The services was attentive and very friend. Great food with a friendly staff, we'll be back.
My husband and I have been here 5-6 times now - we go for more special nights, such as Valentine's day or our Anniversary. We have 3 children under 12, so we don't get out every Saturday night just because. Although, don't go here just on special occasions, go anytime, it's that good!! it is a little house in the strip of Farnsworth, but what a gem!! It's BYOB, which is great on the pocket book! The food and service are consistently excellent. Menu is small and changes with the seasons, so fresh, local ingredients are used. You have to try one of the mussel appetizers - our favorite is the thai curry! Portion sizes are really nice - not small or too big.
Great service and fantastic food! 3 of 4 had lamb chops which were excellent. One had crab cakes - also very good. Nice quiet little restaurant. Overall, a very pleasant experience. This was our first time at this restaurant and we are looking forward to our return visit.
We have been here before and like this byob. On this occasion our food delivery seemed very slow. We arrived at 645pm and did not receive our first course for over 45 minutes. We had the feeling they were short staffed.
I am a local of Bordentown City. The locals know the best dining spots and Oliver is one if them. Excellent food, service, and is BYOB so you aren't breaking the bank on alcohol. Highly recommend!
We continue to enjoy the consistent quality, innovative ingredient combinations and fine dining experience at Oliver's. We enjoy bringing our friends and sharing in their reactions.
Another great dining experience at Oliver. The exciting menu along with farm-to-table ingredients make this a must visit restaurant. I would encourage everyone to try for yourself.
This restaurant is very nice and located in a very quaint part of town. I was a little reluctant to go in when I saw the white tablecloth and ambient lighting. We had our 5 year old and 20 month old sons with us. But we went in and I'm so glad we did. The food and the service was so outstanding. They do not have a kids menu but will accomidate the entree to suite their little pallets. My children ate all of their food. We would absolutely go to this place again.
My husband and I had a very good meal and experience at Oliver Bistro. We had a nice table for 2 in the window so felt like we were eating outside. Our waiter was very good and even took the extra step to ensure that my meal did not contain any wheat/gluten. I had the lump crab/guacomole appetizer and pan roasted salmon. Both were excellent. My husband had the ahi tuna appetizer and seared scallops. He loved his as well. Would definitely recommend and we will return if we are ever in Bordentown again.
I made reservations for my wife's birthday dinner at Oliver's. We have been there many times for lunch and once years ago for dinner. We will certainly not be waiting years to go back, dinner was fantastic!! We started with the Mushroom Bruschetta, which is a must have. The Caesar salad was excellent and we both had the Diver Scallops!! It was the best meal that we have had in quite some time. Service was excellent and the place was attractive and very quiet. We will be back often.
Excellent food, fresh ingredients, attentive service at this downtown Bordentown BYOB. Many, many good meals here since discovering a few years back. Some favorites from this trip were Pear & Pecan Salad, Truffle Mushroom Bruschetta, and of course, Lobster Mac & Cheese.
This was a great spot along a historic walk to have a pleasant meal. Food was above average and the service was excellent.BYOB kept the bill down -highly recommend the lobster mac and cheese!
Quality and presentation much better than anticipated for a small place in Bordentown. Three course Pre Fixe dinner is a bargain. Matthew and Danielle McElmoyl have done a great job with Oliver's. The food is excellent and Bruce and Jim take god care of their guests up front. The deserts are worth the extra calories, so save a little room!
Great food, diverse and eclectic menu, wonderful service. BYOB makes it a bargain.
We enjoyed a cold melon soup and excellent fresh salads. My scallops were wonderful. My husbands steak though was tough and a bit dry, he does like it well done, but it was still a bit disappointing.
All three courses were very good. Lentil and sausage soup really impressed me. Salad and quiche were also quite good. It's a great byob restaurant to come to for a saturday lunch.
If you are a fall pumpkin devotee, you will love the pumpkin soup, slightly sweet but robust pumpkin flavor and the mushroom soup is just as hearty and delicious. The bruschetta was fresh, crisp and the perfect 2nd course of our pre-fixed menu. Our entree choice of butternut squash risotto was absolute perfection (and when the leftovers were reheated still delicious with wonderful flavor. A definite go to choice for future dining!
After reading an article about the owner in the paper, we were excited to try Oliver. (We are frequent diners in Bordentown yet had not tried Oliver.) The dinner menu on their website looked great--lots of choices. However, the menu we received that evening had just a few of the many selections featured on the website. No entree struck me so I ended up ordering the Vegan meal, cauliflower steaks with an eggplant red sauce. The sauce was delicious, but the cauliflower were served as big chunks on the plate so no presentation at all. The bacon and maple flavored mac and cheese was very good. The creme brulee for dessert was done to perfection. The service was very good. The main disappointment was with the limited menu selection.
Oliver A Bistro is in a class by itself. The food, the staff and the setting are all wonderful. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you have a great dining experience. We have gone to Oliver for many years and have never been disappointed.
We had a great meal here. From the crunchy bread to the squash appetizer through a wide selection of main courses to the Apple Strudel cheesecake, the dinner and service were wonderful. We'll be back.
As always, a great dinner with great staff and excellent food.
Three courses for lunch were an excellent choice: soup, salad and a shrimp burrito. Food always has a little, extra-special something.
The prices are excellent for the quality of the food served. The crispy chicken is one of our favorites with the perfect risotto accompaniment. The truffled mushroom bruschetta top with Boursin and arugula is such a great combo if flavors and a perfect starter. My only disappointment was dessert - a pumpkin compote that was way to sweet. And I advised in my reservation that this was a birthday celebration and there was no acknowledgement (thus the 4-star rating for service.)
The food was awesome. You must reserve a window table if you want to sit at one of the tables for two in the windows - otherwise you won't be able to sit there.
Had scallops and they were very good. Wife had crab cakes which smelled fishy upon arrival at the table. Hummus appetizer was really good along with the pear salad.
We asked the fellow at the maitre d' station if there were nuts in the dessert we were considering and he made a rude remark about not dying before the ambulance got there. He may have been trying to be funny but that was rude and tasteless. There were two others who waited on us -- I didn't quite understand why -- and they were slow and inattentive. The food was great.
Although Olivers has a small number of selections, we have never had anything that was not excellent. Nice people, comfortable place, easy to park in the area. Highly recommended.
Oliver A Bistro is consistently great for food and service. Expertly prepared dishes that look and taste great. Love the BYOB too! From their meatloaf to rack of lamb, every dish is outstanding.
Went Thursday night and there was a singer doing Sinatra songs. My wife did the 3 courses for $30, Mushroom Bruschetta, House slad and the Crispy Chicken Breast. I had the Bean Soup and the delicious Cod encrusted with potatoes and served over Spinach in A New England Clam broth. Both Excellent! Shared a dessert of apple cobler ala mode. Great meals, we are becoming regulars.
What a lovely dining experience me and my husband had at Oliver's. Live music singing Frank Sinatra and similar style music was played throughout the evening. The food was exquisite and plentyful. I needed a doggie bag!!! The service is outstanding and everyone was very attentive. It's a lovely BYOB in charming downtown Bordentown. I would recommend it highly if you are looking for a quiet and romantic place to dine. 5 Stars!!!
Small town restaurant with great food- always original and delicious
While lunching here several times in the past few years, this was my first try at this $30 offering. I enjoyed the roasted potato soup (always good), The mussels (over 25 of them) and the chicken with risotto. +4 stars on the food and an even higher rating on value for money.
first time dining here and the food was great! We will be back
Menu is truly seasonal. The pumpkin soup, mussels and crab cakes are amazing. Can't wait to go back!
I've been to Oliver a few times. The menu is always creative and the food is delicious. The service is fine, not memorable but always nice, friendly and quick.
I enjoyed a very good lunch, as I have repeatedly done over the last few years. Soup, salad and small entrees are offered at a very reasonable price.
This is one of my favorite local restaurants! I normally select my meal quickly, but consistently have trouble choosing at Oliver A Bistro, because in addition to a consistently fabulous (and changing) menu, they always offer several tempting specials. I especially like that they offer a Prix Fix menu.... That's what our entire party chose, in the end, because it's such a great value.
