• A White House official told CNN that since August 23, the Obama administration has had discussions with at least 93 senators and more than 350 House members regarding Syria. In addition to the president's efforts and his much-anticipated speech on Syria scheduled for Tuesday night, Vice President Joe Biden met with a group of House Republicans and House Democrats at the White House, the official said.
• Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi said the Russian plan has "given the president a victory" and said White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough has told House Democrats, "if it is serious, if it is credible, if it is real, will be given every consideration." Democratic leaders say the plan doesn't take the wind out of the administration's efforts but "validates what the president is doing," Pelosi said.
• U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman met Tuesday with Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States, to discuss Moscow's proposal to have Syria give up its chemical weapons, the California Democrat said. Sherman, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called the meeting informative and said he believes "the Russian proposal deserves very serious attention to develop the details needed to carry it out."
• A White House official said the feeling inside the White House is that, given the Russian proposal on Syria's chemical weapons, there is now less urgency for a vote on taking action against the country. However, White House officials believe their position has been strengthened since Syria embraced the Russian proposal to place the country's chemical weapons under international control. At this point, White House officials believe they can let diplomacy take its course, the official said.
• In meetings with Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans -- each lasting more than an hour -- President Obama asserted that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government was responsible for a large-scale chemical weapons attack on August 21 outside Damascus, a White House official said.
While reiterating his position that a targeted military strike (without having troops set foot in Syria) was in the national security interests of the United States, the president said that his administration would work to pursue the diplomatic option put forward by Russia, which would involve Syria handing over its chemical weapons, the official said.
• Obama stressed during those meetings with U.S. senators the need to keep open the option of a military strike against Syria, said Sen. Tom Carper. According to the Delaware Democrat, Obama spoke for 10 to 12 minutes, then fielded questions from about 15 senators.
"If we don't keep that threat open," Carper said in summarizing the president, "they may very well walk away."
After the same meeting, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, said she felt Obama is working towarda successful diplomatic resolution that would culminate in the documented destruction of the Syrian government's stockpile of chemical weapons.
• Kerry said Tuesday that the use of force "absolutely should not be off the table" in Congress despite the Russian proposal. But he told House lawmakers that when and how is up to Obama. "The Senate has made a decision to hold off to see if there are any legs in this Russia proposal," Kerry said, referring to the postponement of a procedural vote scheduled for Wednesday.
• Speaking later Tuesday in the Google+ Hangout, the secretary of state acknowledged that "some things" from the U.S. government have not gotten to opponents of Syria's al-Assad "as rapidly as one would have hoped." Without detailing what items were heading toward what he called "the moderate opposition," Kerry said "many of the items that people complained were not getting to them are now getting to them."
• Under a new resolution being proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives, Obama would have 30 days to work out a "credible plan" regarding Syria's chemical weapons before he'd be allowed to order strikes, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
• Explaining the evolving timing of U.S. Senate votes on Syria in light of recent developments, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reiterated Tuesday, "It's important that we do this well, not quickly." The Nevada Democrat added that "the credible threat of our doing something about this (chemical weapons) attack is going to remain."
Reid's comments came after Obama asked Senate Democrats to delay voting on authorizing military action in Syria while the diplomatic process works itself out, according to senators in the meeting. The president "asked for some time to work things out -- a matter of days into next week," Sen. Dick Durbin said.
• Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Tuesday evening that he is canceling a briefing on Syria that had been planned for Wednesday for all senators, explaining that there are just too many moving targets at the moment.
• Sen. Joe Manchin -- a West Virginia Democrat who last week had pushed an initiative to put off military action while demanding Syria signs an international convention against chemical weapons -- said Tuesday that he is "encouraged" that Syria's government has decided to sign on to such an agreement. "I have said from the start that being a superpower means more than super-military might; it means super-diplomacy and super-restraint," Manchin said in a statement.
• A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is working on an alternative resolution that would set key benchmarks to be met in order to avoid a military strike against Syria, according to a source familiar with the talks.
• Testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Kerry told lawmakers that a "credible threat of force" in recent weeks has for the "first time" prompted the Syrian regime "to even acknowledge that they have a chemical weapons arsenal." He added that a Russian proposal to turn over Syria's chemical weapons stockpile can't be a process for "delay" or "avoidance."
• Kerry also warned the committee that Iran, a close ally of Syria, "looms out there with its nuclear program." "They are watching what we do here. If we choose not to act, we will be sending a message to Iran of American ambivalence, American weakness," he said.
• U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday that he believes there needs to be a detailed timeline for Syria to hand over its chemical weapons. Referring to the Moscow-led efforts calling for such a transfer in the face of threatened U.S.-led military strikes in Syria, Kinzinger said, "It's important to understand that the Russians may be trying to stall here."
• The top-ranking Republican in the Senate said Tuesday that he will vote against authorizing military action against Syria. "A vital national security risk is clearly not at play. There are just too many unanswered questions about our long-term strategy in Syria," Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said in a speech on the floor of the Senate.
• On CNN's "New Day," Sen. John McCain upbraided the Obama administration's discussions of Syria. "There's a degree of incoherence that I have never seen the likes of," the Arizona Republican said. He noted that Kerry said any strike on Syria would be "unbelievably small." "What does that mean?" McCain asked. "We still haven't determined what the goal of these military strikes are."
• Frederic Hof, who served as a special adviser to Obama on Syria during its ongoing civil war, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that he's a "bit skeptical" of the Russian proposal on chemical weapons, further pointing out that Monday was the first day Syria's government ever admitted to having such an arsenal.
In his speech Tuesday night, "The president absolutely has to get across (the point) that diplomacy is not possible without the credible use of force remaining on the table," said Hof, now a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council think tank. "Absent that, the Russian proposal will go away."
• While U.S. forces are in position and capable of striking immediately, the Pentagon needs more guidance from President Barack Obama about time frames for a possible strike against Syria, a senior U.S. military official said.

Lombard resident 'humbled' by Nurse of the Year award at Hinsdale Hospital
HINSDALE – When Ana Ahlenius began her career, she hoped to combine her love of science with her desire to work with people.
"I originally started going into research and worked at Loyola for a while, and that was not just enough people contact," the Lombard resident said.
That's when Ahlenius realized the field of nursing would address her scientific and social interests. For the past 28 years, Ahlenius has been a registered nurse. She has spent 20 of those years at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital, where she now works in the intensive care unit. Ahlenius was named "Nurse of the Year" at Adventist Hinsdale for 2013.

The Kern County coroner's office said Wednesday how a woman died before her body was found in a burning garage.
Southeast Bakersfield
A man shot twice Monday morning at a man burglarizing his vehicle, according to police.
Police want the public's help locating a man suspected of stealing a Golden Empire Transit District vehicle.
The 30th annual Bakersfield Toy Run and Food Drive is this Sunday.
The Chester Avenue/H Street westbound on-ramp to Highway 58 will be closed beginning next week, according to the Thomas Roads Improvement Program.
One man was shot to death early Sunday morning in the 700 block of Geneva Avenue, another was wounded and taken by private means to a local hospital. Bakersfield police are investigating.
The Bakersfield Solid Waste Division said it won't have trash service on Thanksgiving.
The goal is to get a group of volunteers to supplement police services and free officers for high priority calls.
A fire at an abandoned home in east Bakersfield is considered "very suspicious." The fire in the 200 block of Wiseman Street was reported around 11:10 a.m. Sunday. It took city and county fire crews about 10 minutes to contain.
A man pleaded guilty Friday to murder and 12 other charges, five years after he killed a man to steal $600,000 in Native American benefits.
Police didn't say Friday why they suspect Patrick Terrel of the murder, but they said he became the suspect because of interviews and physical evidence.
The PlayStation 4 was released at midnight Friday, and that brought out the criminal element, according to police. One customer was robbed and another was nearly robbed shortly after buying the new console.
The Bakersfield office of the California Highway Patrol will begin its CHiPs for KiDs Toy Drive on Monday, running until Dec. 16.
A highway construction project will force the closure of a Panama Lane off-ramp from Wednesday through next Wednesday, Nov. 20.
A house was badly damaged Wednesday morning in southeast Bakersfield.

Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day
Buddha appeared in this world to fulfill his compassionate wish to benefit each and every living being every day. Accordingly he demonstrated the manner of attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya.
After attaining enlightenment, Buddha remained absorbed in meditative equipoise, but although a living Buddha was now present in our world human beings were unaware of what had taken place.

The Spring Festival Diaries 2013 are now live. Daily updates will be posted during the week long festival. Updates will also be posted on the Kadampa Facebook, Youtube and Twitter.
Please enjoy the diaries and share them with your friends and family

I recently starting playing with Ktorrent. I had been a long time Azureus user, but was just trying to setup something quickly and didn't need to level of functionality of Azureus had. As a Chrome user, I wanted my magnet:????? links to automaticially be added to KTorrent. I tried tried to do it with xdg and gconf, but neither of these worked. I then found some info on Deluge that made my mind figure out this method.
Backporting OpenLDAP 2.4 to CentOS 5
For a long time CentOS 5 users have been banging their head against their desks because CentOS 5 has only supported OpenLDAP 2.3. While this release has been stable, it is quite long in the tooth and is missing many features that system administrator consider a 'requirement.' Since so many packages link the ldap libraries that OpenLDAP 2.3 provides, upgrading OpenLDAP has been no easy task... until now.
Creating Selfsigned Certificate with an Existing Key
Most OpenSSL documentation out there only shows you how to create a new key and signs it with in single command. I wanted to use a self-signed in the interm while waiting for my third-party CA approve my certificate. I already had an existing key. Here is the command to create a self-signed certificate from an existing RSA key.
#> openssl req -x509 -new -key {KEYFILE} -out {SELFSIGNEDCERT}
Creating VirtualBox USB rawdisks in Ubuntu
I recently was playing with a new 4GB usb stick and I wanted it install a rawdisk VirtualBox VM on it. This would give a portable VM with decent speed.When I was trying to create the raw disk formated disk with the following command:
#> vboxmanage internalcommands -rawdisk /dev/sdc -filename ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/usbstick.vmdk
I recieved the following error. I even got this error running as root. I determined it wasn't a permissons issue.

Start gnome-terminal in you home directory
In earlier versions of pre-Lucid Lynx, when you started gnome-terminal, you would be sitting in your home directory to start. Most all terminal emulators start you in your home directory if you are not running as a superuser. Now with Lucid Lynx, you now start in the VFS (Virtual File System) root, aka. '/'. This is very inconveient for many of the things I do expect. Here is the way to fix gnome-terminal so it's expected startup behavoir is restored.
POSIX RegEx for hostnames
Here is a POSIX compliant regular expression for testing a hostname. This does not support a fully quilified domain name (FQDN). This was tested with linux grep.
Here is a working example:
grep -E -i -w '^([[:digit:]a-zA-Z]([-[:digit:]a-zA-Z]{0,61}[[:digit:]a-zA-Z]){0,1})$'
Allow UID 0 accounts to login but not root over SSH
More than once, I've needed root access to a server over SCP. As we all know, allowing SSH access with the root user is a blaring security hole because the user is a well-known userid with superuser access. This makes it the first thing that a hacker or script-kiddie will check. If you create another user with userid number 0 and set PermitRootLogin to 'no' in the sshd_config file, you will still not be able to login. The PermitRootLogin option actually blocks ANY user if their user id number equals 0.
Convert JKS and PKCS12 back and forth with keytool
Here are a few CLI commands to convert a java key store file to a PKCS12 encoded cert chain and back. This requires the java development kit (Sun/Oracle JDK) 6 or newer.

David Bevington is�a highly respected editor and Shakespearean scholar. He is Phyllis Fay Horton Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus. He taught drama at the University of Chicago, focusing on Shakespeare and his contemporaries (Jonson, Marlowe, Webster, Middleton, Dekker, etc.), as well as medieval drama and then the entire sweep of Western drama from Aeschylus and Sophocles down to Caryl Churchill and Tom Stoppard. In addition to courses on Shakespeare, Renaissance drama, and medieval drama, he co-taught in Theater and Performance Studies ((variously with Heidi Coleman, Director of University Theater, John Muse, English� Department, and Drew Dir, resident dramaturg at Court Theatre) a two-quarter sequence called The History and Theory of Drama from the 5th century B.C. down to the present day. "One of the most learned and devoted of Shakespeareans," so called by Harold Bloom, he specializes in British drama of the Renaissance, and has edited and introduced the complete works of William Shakespeare in both the 29-volume, Bantam Classics paperback editions and the single-volume Longman edition. He also edits the Norton Anthology of Renaissance Drama and an important anthology of Medieval English Drama. Bevington's editorial scholarship is so extensive that Richard Strier, an early modern colleague at the University of Chicago, was moved to comment: "Every time I turn around, he has edited a new Renaissance text. Bevington has endless energy for editorial projects." In addition to his work as an editor, he has published studies of Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and the Stuart Court Masque, among others, though it is for his work as an editor that he is primarily known.

The jury verdict is in, and Apple is being touted as the big winner in their patent dispute with Samsung. The monetary awards were substantial, but the affirmation of Apple's assertion of Samsung's overt copying of their designs and technology is likely more important to the organization.
Samsung was found guilty of infringing on several Apple patents, including the "bounce back" effect when scrolling at reaching the end of a page or document, the "pinch and zoom" control, "double tap to zoom", the patents concerning the iPhone's physical appearance and home screen, as well as some other minor points. The infringements were largely declared willful, and in full knowledge that they were in violation of legal patents. The monetary damages totaled just over $1 billion.
Samsung had some minor victories; the jury found that the Galaxy Tab did not violate Apple's patents concerning the iPad and that patents that they owned disputed by Apple were indeed valid. The jury sided with Apple on all of the accusations placed by Samsung, and no monetary damages were awarded.
Also of note was the jury's decision that Apple did not prove that Samsung violated antitrust obligations regarding its FRAND patents, leaving Samsung free to charge Apple for their use in Apple products.
The decision closes the first chapter of these industry titan's legal struggles. Samsung has vowed to appeal the jury's decision, leaving the resolution of the disagreements between the two in limbo indefinitely, but for the short term Apple is declaring a victory for protecting innovation.

Girard Perregaux 1966 Annual Calendar And Equation Of Time Watch Hands-On
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
One of the theories I believe, behind the layout design is ease of reference. That means not having to visually search too long for what you are looking for. Not only are dials in unique places on the dial, but they also have their own unique style of hands. In time, wearers of the watch will quickly be able to search what they are looking for on the dial. The beautifully made and decorated in-house Girard-Perregaux GP033M0 automatic movement has the time, annual calendar (with date and month), and an equation of time indicator. The annual calendar only needs to be adjusted once each (non-leap year) year, and the equation of time is a nifty guide of how much "civil" time is deviating at any moment from solar time (really only plus or minus 15 minutes at any given time).
Even with all the details it remains a simple look and never harsh on the eyes. The case is modest in size at 40mm wide, and like I said, the case is available in 18k rose or white gold. A great watch so those looking for complex, original, yet classic looking pieces. Price is over $30,000.

Everyone in Louisiana relies on transportation. Whether it is to move products to market, to fly into a city to attend a conference, to travel to work, or ride a bike to a park, transportation is involved. In the next 30 years, Louisiana's economic health and quality of life may be at risk because of transportation funding challenges. Costs of providing infrastructure and services are up, but revenue is down. Maintaining what already exists continues to take a larger portion of available funds, leaving limited opportunities for addressing other significant transportation needs. This situation calls for a comprehensive look at how transportation can best address Louisiana's needs in the long-term under the influence of the current economic climate. In short, what type of transportation investments will best serve Louisiana?
In December 2003 the Louisiana Statewide Transportation Plan completed by the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) was adopted by the Louisiana Investment in Infrastructure for Economic Prosperity (LIIEP) Commission. The Plan, which included extensive participation and input from agencies and major stakeholders throughout the state, addressed multimodal transportation needs within the context of a growing economy. A few years later, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita redefined needs. As a result, a Review and Status report was completed in 2008 that considered the impacts of the storms and reported on the implementation status and updated construction costs of the 2003 Plan recommendations.
Since then, Louisiana, as well as the rest of the United States, has felt the consequences of the economic recession and limited transportation funding. It is time for a full update of the transportation plan to determine the most appropriate transportation investments and policies for Louisiana.
An overview of the plan and how public involvement activities are reflected in general are described in the plan overview. Additional details on public involvement are provided in the next section.
The Plan's Public Involvement Plan provides the framework for obtaining input and providing information to the stakeholders and general public.
Visioning Workshop - A Visioning Workshop was held in November 2012 to craft a draft vision, goals and objectives to be reviewed in the first Round Of Advisory Council meetings held in March 2013.
Round One Advisory Council Meetings – Each of the eight Advisory Councils met during the period March 20-21, 2013 to learn about the Plan Update and to discuss specific issues relative to policy recommendations and transportation investments. More information about these meetings is available at Round One Advisory Council meetings.
Round Two Advisory Council Meetings – Each of the eight Advisory Councils met during the period October 1-2, 2013 to learn about the status of the Plan update; review previous issues and discuss newly proposed issues regarding each mode; and discuss policy recommendations. More information about these meetings is available at Round Two Advisory Council Meetings.
The current Plan outreach activities relate to identifying key issues and concerns by reaching out to the legislature in a questionnaire and the general public via a telephone survey. This information was used in the Visioning Workshop held in November 2012. Summaries of all three activities are included in the Interim Plan Documents section.
As Plan documents are prepared they will be posted here for review. To date, these include:
Plan Overview Public Involvement Plan Surveys Legislative Questionnaire Summary Public Telephone Survey Summary Visioning Workshop Visioning Workshop Presentation Visioning Workshop Summary
Visioning Workshop
The Plan is to be completed and adopted by early 2014. The following table depicts a schedule marked by the major public involvement activities.

The writer is professor of political science at LUMS [email protected]
There are a number of changes in the substructure of Pakistani politics and society that no insightful observer of Pakistan can escape. The question is, what do they mean for the old ruling classes of Pakistan, which are grouped into two major political parties?
The first notable change is that the old coalitions of the elite, assembled under two dynastic parties, have lost credibility and the trust and confidence of the larger number of Pakistani citizens. One may wonder why this isn't reflected in the elections, since the same flock keeps getting elected. An explanation may be that the politics of patronage, at the expense of public interest and the public exchequer, along with the massive illegal wealth that most of the members of assemblies have made, are major factors in determining the outcome of electoral contests in their favour.
Thanks to the broad reach of the electronic media, from cities to villages and hamlets, the true character of the old elite stands exposed. In popular perceptions, the image and reality of the old coalitions as thugs, robber barons and thieves converge. Another factor that will definitely go against them is the pace of relative economic prosperity in the agricultural sector in the rural areas that has produced a very large rural middle class. This class is likely to vote independently of traditional family, clan or caste patterns and think of larger issues of governance, corruptions and who can provide better leadership.
Economic changes in other countries have translated into fresh social and political alignments; consider for example the rise of the Hindu right in India or the Justice and Development Party in Turkey. Both represent the rethinking of old political elites that survived on myths of charismatic leaders and their political legacies.
The second important change is the youth factor in Pakistan, which is not impressed by the quality and character of the political leadership dominating the major or even minor political parties, including the religious parties. They juxtapose Pakistan with the global landscape and see the failings of our traditional ruling elite. The youth in Pakistan is better educated, more enlightened and deeply patriotic, more so than previous generations; they want to get their country back on the rails of progress and modernity. Young people disregard locality, province, region and ethnicity to support Imran Khan, andlook toward him as the only hope. This is a big loss for the traditional ruling parties that can only assemble ruffian musclemen in party nurseries, who speak through wall chalking land and guns and cash are doled out to them by party bosses.
The third important change is that, according to a poll, Imran Khan today has emerged as the most popular leader of Pakistan (68 per cent), leaving Mian Nawaz Sharif (63 per cent) and Asif Ali Zardari (11 per cent) miles behind, according to the Pew Research Centre, one of the most credible institutions for global opinion polls.
The question is if and how Imran Khan will convert these changes into a political advantage in the next parliamentary elections. My gut feeling is he will. He has energy, commitment and popular appeal. The great kaptaan presents a very clear agenda of change that no other leader or party can match. Change, credibility and popular appeal will define the new politics of Pakistan, which the kaptaan represents.

RELATIONSHIP OF TREES TO ENERGY AND POLLUTION: During photosynthesis, trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it away in the tree's wood. This process is known as sequestration, and it reduces levels of carbon dioxide in the air. Trees also provide shade and lower air temperatures, reducing the amount of energy that buildings use and, therefore, the amount of work required -- and carbon dioxide released -- by power plants. Trees with denser wood, such as hawthorn trees, are most effective at removing carbon dioxide from the air. Other trees emit volatile organic compounds, which contribute to the formation of ozone. Ozone in the upper levels of Earth's atmosphere can have a protective effect, but particles of ozone in the air we breathe are considered pollutants.
THE CARBON CYCLE: The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon, in its many forms, between the earth, atmosphere, oceans, and the animals, plants and bacteria that live there. For example, much of the carbon stored in trees and soils is released into the atmosphere when forests are cleared and cultivated. Sometimes this release happens very quickly, like when a forest fire burns. Sometimes it happens slowly, as dead plants decompose. When forests return to previously cleared land, trees draw carbon from the atmosphere and store it again in the plants and soil. If the global totals for photosynthesis (plants taking carbon dioxide from the air and using it for energy, giving off oxygen) and respiration (animals taking in oxygen and using it to make energy, giving off carbon dioxide) are not equal, carbon accumulates, either on land or in the atmosphere. The rates of photosynthesis and respiration are not known, and they're not measured well enough, but there does appear to be an imbalance, known as the "missing sink" of carbon. Yet the carbon cycle must be a closed system, which means there is a fixed amount of carbon; we just don't know where the missing carbon is yet. Understanding why there is an imbalance, and where it occurs, is critical to combating the threat of global warming.
The American Geophysical Union and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

I find Charles Keiger's work pedestrian and derivative. It is based in subjective and laughable surrealism, all stolen from the greats and reduced here for consumption for those he thinks do not know his influences. A sad example of modern "surrealistic" art - (f)art for the simpleminded who "love pretty horsies." Honestly, get some Grant Wood and do yourself a favor.
Thought they'd hopped out of town---gone out of business.
Constant turnover in the kitchen (tells you something about the help), dirty, quality of food has really gone downhill, over priced, loud, unappealing environment... There are lots of better choices in the area now.
Do not buy or sell here! They are absolute crooks and will NOT offer you a fair amount for your items. If you bring in items approximately worth $150 retail you can expect a $45 offer. They are still going to sell it for $150 though! Anybody that's that shady with their business does not deserve your business. My family, friends, and I are never going back and I would recommend you do the same!
Couldnt watch for an hour. dont know how anyone could do it for 13?
Awful people to work with. Woman running it is as rude as she can be. Overpriced, underwhelming. Do Not recommend. They have like 2 bathrooms for 500 people. ridiculous. Stay away.
they lost me at their web site with infant baptistm, which apparently they practice, but don't explain on their web site WHY -- apparently you have to go by their church to get the information on that. I also don't get the point of planting congregations in a city that is overflowing with churches of all denominations. If someone is Christian or curious in this city, they should not have a problem finding a church. Why do we need yet more? It's crazy IMO
I agree with the previous poster. This "church" scares me! Look them up on Facebook or on their website. They believe it doesn't matter which religious path one chooses - they all lead to heaven. BOLOGNA! I hate to tell you but Unity Church members are going someone after death - and its VERY VERY HOT.
This church is nuts and is full of crazy lesbians who believe dolphins and the color purple hold the power to the universe. DO NOT GO THERE!!
for all you that are planning on going to the movies, do not go to the Premiere 6 at Jackson Heights in Murfreesboro, thinking it will be cheaper,because of thier advertisement for their dollar popcorn and drink that is supposed to be going on for two weeks they ran out the first day and you dont even know this till you pay for your ticket and your inside...Its the same price you might as well go to Cason Lane theater it is much better
Terrible service. Waited over 45 minutes for our food. Food had little flavor.
After having a wonderful experience at the bar we were seated to experience 1 star service. After having to choose from a limited menu.... Some food came out cold and others came out just plain inedible. We did have a party of 8 and knowing how that can be I can understand some confusion. After waiting nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes for our bill WE had to search for a manager.. The managers were just as confused as the waiter... There was nothing they would do other than pay for a round of drinks while they figured bills out (which was nice) but nothing other.. After bad food and bad service we will not be setting foot back in this restaurant... Please don't waist your money or time.. There are other restaurants in town to spend your time and money!
My cousin loves this place. I on the other hand met her and her husband two weeks ago for music and dinner. Band started at 10pm and very entertaining, I had a burger well done(i know not the way one should order , but that is the way i like it) although the burger seemed to have been sitting out and dried up. later that eve I became sick which I believe was from the burger.I also ordered a beer and my date ordered a vodka soda. both glasses had soap suds in them and we had to have another brought to us which they did. Im not sure if Im going to try again, but if I do it will be a soft drink and a small appetizer and hopefully will have better luck
I don't know about the music -- but the food is mediocre at best and the drinks -- $10 for a glass of watery, tasteless sangria, really?
We had three tickets for the Mavericks show, which had been postponed twice. It was scheduled to start at 8 pm, but we showed up at 6 pm, because we knew from experience that good seats would be gone early.
We stood in a long line, and when we got in, there were NO seats left. The lower area, in front of the stage was completely empty of tables. People looking for seats were forced to stand, elbow to elbow, in any space they could find.
Because we simply could not stand for 4-5 hours to get through the show, we simply left. We are out the $60+ for the tickets, and 3rd and Lindsley is out not only the $100 or so we would have spent, but also any future income from us.
I will NEVER go back!
Tower closed at least 3 years ago.
This was bay far the worst dining experience I have ever had! My wife and I went to Ri'Chards on a Saturday night and the place was nicely filled with locals who seemed to be enjoying the music, but not the high priced lack luster food. I could smell the old frying grease so strongly you think we would have known not to order food either. We got the worse sevice, which included bot getting napkins or silverware. My wife order gumbo (IT WAS SERVED COLD and looked very dark and gritty). The jambalaya was some overcooked boxed rice thaw was cold and mushy with tough overcooked and probably old chicken and sausage. To top it off we got the racist stare the entire time we endured this meal.
I called Castrillo's one evening at 4:30 to order; got voicemail stating "we are closed from 2-4 p.m." Called again at 5:00 to get same recording. At 5:30, I ordered elsewhere. Later that evening, I emailed Castrillo's to let their owner/manager know of the oversight on voicemail.
The response was shocking! I was told that there was an event that kept them from opening until 6 p.m. What about the voicemail? Their owner told me he didn't care if I went elsewhere since he had 5.000 happy customers. In fact, he told me "good luck."
Perhaps, if they took care of customers, they would have 10.000 customers by now. Will I ever eat at Castrillo's again? Hell, NO!

Terrible service will drive as far as I have to, to go anywhere else
Very unhappy with Your Move Real Estate. I would not recommend them to anyone.
Was in town for a convention, went here to eat. The food was good, the atmosphere was good. All was good until our waiter Daniel B gave me the bill ,we were in a hurry I gave him my credit card he ran the card I signed it. Then I notice the bill had all these other charges on it. I told him and he said oh he made a mistake and put someone else stuff on my bill. Then he reruns a new bill about $45 less I paid that one. When I ask about what happened to the other bill I paid he assured me that only this bill will go thru. Well, we all know what happened next he ran the 1st higher bill and not the second lower bill. Im back in St louis now. I disputed it with the credit card company and Baileys sent in my sign receipt so they closed the case for now. I can write a letter and reopen the case but I just decided to tell my story here. So if you are from out of town don't go here or don't get Daniel B as your waiter other wise you will be over paying and getting ripped off. Oh and I did contact the manager there and he could care less. I think this is a common practice at Baileys.

When he was editing my last novel Goodnight, Texas, the savvy Unbridled Books editor Greg Michalson asked me, "What are all these birds doing in the story?" So for my forthcoming third novel, I placed that obsession front-and-center in the title—The Bird Saviors. Ever since high school years I've been an amateur birder: I grew up in a small town on the Texas coast, Rockport, which is famous for being near the wintering grounds of the Whooping Cranes, and a flyover spot that boasts an annual population of over four hundred different species of birds. Our house was smack dab on the shoreline of Copano Bay, near a rookery where we could see Great Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets, and Storks nesting in a thicket of palmetto and live oaks. But The Bird Saviors was composed at my home in Colorado, which has an altogether different cast and crew of bird life, most of them migrants or homebodies in the submontane habitat of my home at 9,000 feet in elevation. Here's a list of what I often see in Custer County:
Western Tanagers, Horned Larks
Black-Headed Grosbeaks, Lark Buntings
Black-Billed Magpies, Lark Sparrows
Western Meadowlarks, White-Crowned Sparrows
Ravens, House Sparrows
Mountain Chickadees, Brown Thrashers
House Wrens, Sage Thrashers
Robins, Sharp-Shinned Hawks
Vultures, Western Screech Owls
Pink-Sided Juncos, Grackles
Snipes, Rufous Hummingbird
Redwing Blackbirds, Blue Grouse
Bronze-Headed Cowbirds, Clark's Jays
Western Kingbirds, Sandpipers
Red-Naped Sapsuckers, Least or Hammond's Flycatcher
Williamson's Sapsuckers, Wilson's Phalarope
Northern Flickers, Kildeer
Kestrels, Mountain Bluebirds
Red-Tailed Hawks, Stellar's Jays
Swainson's Hawks, Burrowing Owls
Rough-Legged Hawks, Brown Creepers
Harriers, Evening Grosbeaks
Prairie Falcons, White-Breasted Nuthatch
Great-Horned Owls, Black-Capped Chickadee
Yellow Warblers, Starlings
Broad-Tailed Hummingbirds, Shoveler
Black-Chinned Hummingbirds, Pinyon Jay
Tree Swallows, Cliff Swallows
Audubon's Warblers, Barn Swallows
Wood Storks, Ash-Throated Flycatchers
Canada Geese, Pine Siskin
Mallards, White Pelican
Nighthawks, Say's Phoebe
Green-Tailed Towhees, Western Flycatcher
Bushtits, Dusky Flycatcher
Snipe, Vesper Sparrows
Warbling Vireos, Wild Turkeys
Canyon Towhee, Golden Eagle
Peregrine Falcon, Song Sparrow
Gray Jay, Clark's Nutcracker
Crows, Merlins
Red-breasted Nuthatches, Pygmy Nuthatches
Barn owl, Goshawk
Bobolink, Common Yellowthroat
White-faced Ibis, Clark's Grebe
Brown-capped Rosy Finch, Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Chipping Sparrow, Great Blue Heron
Pine Grosbeak, Rock Wren
Orange-crowned Warbler, Macgillvray's Warbler
Hermit Thrush, Hooded Oriole
But what stands out in my mind is less the list and more so the particular remarkable bird encounters we've had over the years, like … .
The Goshawk and the Great Horned Owl: Once we awoke the day after Christmas to see a Goshawk (a kind of woodland hawk, known for sweeping through the trees silently and swiftly, with a noticeable white eyebrow splash) perched on a stump where I split wood, grasping a dead Snowshoe Hare in its talons. Moments later we noticed a Great Horned Owl was perched on a nearby pine branch, and the two were fighting over the body of the hare—one of the biggest rabbits I'd ever seen, with elongated hind feet. We watched them for over an hour, and eventually the Goshawk flew away with part of the hare, and the owl swooped in to snatch what was left. Owls actually love our hillside, and one of my favorites is the Flammulated Owl, a small owl with solid black eyes that visits almost every May, and has a lovely, low call, going boop-boop-boop for hours every night, its plaintive love-call to find a mate. We've also seen or heard Barn, Western Screech, Saw-Whet, Pygmy, and Boreal owls on our hillside, and Burrowing owls in the prairie of the Wet Mountain Valley below.
A Rose-Breasted Grosbeak among a flock of Evenings: I noticed that the American Birding Association recently named the Evening Grosbeak its Bird of the Year, and it is one of my favorites—the males have a beautiful black-and-yellow plumage, with great yellow eyebrows and strong beaks, which in the females is a lovely pale-green color. Every late spring they mob our feeders and swoop and swirl all through our yard, but in the last two years we've seen a single Rose-Breasted Grosbeak in the flock, a bird that is not supposed to occur that far west. It stands out quite clearly, with its lovely splash of bright red on its breast.
Scott's Oriole: One thing about birding is that you come to realize your world at a more specific, exact level. You come to see it's not just a "bird," but something much more specific—the way the great novelist Vladimir Nabokov noted that the word tree is rather neutral, whereas pine, spruce, or aspen conveys something more specific to the reader in the know. Last year I noticed an unusual black-and-yellow bird in the marsh area of my yard, and after rushing to get my binoculars, I spied a gorgeous Scott's Oriole, not known to be in our area, for a day or two before it flew away. I love Orioles, and the Scott's is remarkable for its hanging nest, often woven from yucca leaves/fibers. This one is almost like a comic-book bird—sleek, black-and-yellow plumage, bigger than a Robin, favoring arid scrubland habitat, although I saw it not far from our creek. Maybe it was thirsty.
Western Tanagers: These are perhaps the showiest birds of our hillside, with magnificent black, yellow, and red plumage, plus a lovely call, but they aren't that easy to spot. They often flit around, and although we regularly have a nesting pair in our yard, it's still a treat to get a good look at one. They look like mountain parakeets, smallish and brightly colored, singing often from treetops or high branches, a splash of red and yellow against the green backdrop of pine needles.
American Kestrels: Lastly, I can't forget to mention Kestrels, that lovely small hawk often seen perched on the power lines along our county roads—with its bluish wing plumage and cinnamon back feathers, dark face stripes. It's like a little falcon, swooping over the ditches and kiting over the fields. It's the last bird mentioned in The Bird Saviors, and one of my all-time favorites.—William J. Cobb

Vocal Rescue
Rediscover the Beauty, Power and Freedom in Your Singing
By- Lois Alba
"Lois Alba is a master teacher, ...I have never seen a vocal instructor who got such remarkable results in such a short time." - Irene Dalis, General Director, Opera San Jose
Achieving a successful singing career, especially in opera, can seem almost impossible to many singers because of fear of high notes, lack of projection, and confusion on how to express the music unhampered by technical preoccupation. Master Teacher and accomplished opera singer Lois Alba is aware of these pitfalls. She knows the best teaching involves an acute sense of the art form based on sound, intuition and imagery. The focus comes from the mind. It is interpreted through the ear and the body. When the body and mind come together harmoniously the result is beautiful sound.
In this clear and legible guide, Lois Alba shares her formidable experience, voice training insight, and philosophical wisdom about the creative nature of singing. She works to de-program the singer as to the many myths about singing û recurring themes that flood vocal studios and ultimately damage voices. Vocal Rescue is an amalgamation of many precepts from a large library of rare treatises and the concepts outlined come from the fine art of vocal mastery known as bel canto. The text provides a seven step system that demystifies the secrets to beautiful singing, and promises to take all singers to a new level of technical proficiency and expression. Recorded illustrations on CD/DVD demonstrate the vocal principles with lessons and vocalises for singers in all voice ranges to follow.
The author's website can be found at www.loisalba.com
Singers in any genre of music. The program was formulated for opera singers but the lessons and advice are transferable to anyone wishing to rediscover the beauty and freedom of their voice.

It saved my old Epiphone flat top. Before this, the bridge would pull up and the action got quite high. No problem now
I took a lot of time considering and consulting 'reviews' and principles of this thing, and have a fair bit of experience with guitars, knowhow and tools to do it. The guitar is a Seagull Maritime mini jumbo and only a year old, but was slightly bellying. Mainly I wanted to prevent any further movement (and take the slight bit out) and stabalise the top. I also noted the great sound that Breedlove guitars achieve with this as standard and figured that, as a truss for the top, it would provide long term structural integrety and more stable tuning. It did all this and more, a little more sustain and 'bass' response and evenness of tone and tuning stability is great for altered tunings as the top remains constant, even with the altering of the string tensions, the others stay true to pitch. I'm confident that this top 'truss rod' will keep the top stable and strong for the life of the guitar. I'd recommend it, but be sure you have the skills and room inside for this device. Don't force the top (Mine was bearly lifting). I used and recomended the cheaper permanent install, but again, make sure there is enough room in the bridge and the underside and no pickups in the way. I used a hole punch of tortoiseshell pickguard material over a black dot and unless looking closely, the installation is invisible...see pic
yes it sorted out the bulge in my Martin's plastic sheet top , it sounded tighter and seemed to fit the bill. But - the brass pins don't put much down pressure on the saddle, although the solid brass anchors maintain the sustain. After 3 months of installation and 3 weeks of being away on business, I picked up this guitar to find it had settled with two strings buzzing on the saddle. So I need to do some messing about with the truss rod or might have to shim the saddle up a tad. There goes my nice low action.
Just installed one of these on an old Yasuma that had a slight belly, and was sounding quite flat. It took 1/2 hour to install. The Bridge Doctor reduced the bellying, and greatly improved tone and sustain. As others have said, go slow with the adjustment on the post. Try humidifying the guitar and tensioning the rod slowly over a period of a few weeks.
I purchased a bridge doctor to try and remedy the belly of my Yamaha FG180. Unfortunately, it did not work as I'd hoped. Don't know if the guitar is too far gone, or if I didn't install correctly, but the bridge doctor itself actually bent without relieving the belly at all. Ended up uninstalling it and shaving down the bridge as much as possible to try and get playable action.
I purchased a used guitar from an online auction. It had been abused, and had a severe pot belly but I thought it was worth saving. I had read about the JLD Bridge Doctor and decided to give it a try. The distance between the bridge pins and the back of the bridge was pretty small so I did not think I could use the screw mount version, so I ordered the Brass Pin mount version. I installed the bridge doctor and gradually tightened the pressure post over several days and the top flattened out almost perfectly. I tightened the pressure post a little over the next couple of days to compensate for the string tension. I was amazed at the brilliance, sustain and tone when I played the guitar. This was far better than I had expected. Over the next couple of weeks, I would have to adjust the tuning of the strings slightly each day as I guess the top was still settling in. Now I seldom have to re-tune as it holds the tuning very well. It has been 6 weeks since I strung it up and it still sounds just like it has a new set of strings even though I play it every day. This guitar sounds better than any of my other 7 guitars which include high-end models. I would definitely recommend the JLD Bridge Doctor. I am considering installing it in my other guitars to see if it will improve their tonal qualities even though I don't have any pot belly problems with them.
This 70s Hohner Leyenda had a serious belly, half an inch or more dipping into the soundhole, which was making the action unplayable and the intonation awful. I bought the (screwmount) Bridge Doctor as a stopgap to what was looking like an expensive repair. While waiting, I destrung it and acclimatised the top with a humidifier and Bible. Incidentally my order arrived in just over a week which for here is a record – great Stewmac service! It's a Dreadnought shape, plenty of height, no braces in the way, standard bridge and a nice fat end block, so a straightforward install. The supplied instructions are clear, and there's more info on the JLD site. All the same, it's worth reading everything, checking twice, then check again, before each step. A few things. One, the woodscrew on the bridge post (the plastic tube) was a bit loose in the block, so once I'd decided on the right spread, I glued it solidly in its hole. Two, getting the sound rod (dowel) lined-up exactly straight involves a bit of trial and error, using mirrors and feel. A tiny dab of glue on the wooden post (under the saddle) made sure everything stayed in place. Three, I detuned a whole step and every week or so, eased off the Allen screw and made the rod 'skip down' to keep it parallel to the top, before tightening up again. It took 40 years to get that way, not gonna force it overnight. A month on, the top is almost flat and the neck angle is back within acceptable limits. The action is nice and low and the intonation is spot on. As for the tone, there was a huge improvement in days, and the more it's played, the better it gets. Anyone who says it's a sound killer must be doing something wrong. The JLD really works, if you take your time and get it right. I'm recommending it, and I'll buy more.
My 77 Yamaha FG-340's bridge was bowing badly and the guitar played poorly. I installed one of these and adjusted it progressively as the guitar sat there with no strings on. After a week or so, I restrung the instrument and it has been a gem to play ever since... Very neat invention that thing is... :)
I've used the Bridge Doctor on guitars from the 60's, Spanish, and even Ovations. It never ceases to amaze me in how it can bring the belly down in an acoustic. It's simple to install, creates a beautiful sustain and resonates outstandingly in any acoustic you put it in!
I bought one of these to fix a belly in an old guitar and the installation was straightforward and it seems to have fixed the belly. I will use one of these to remove the belly from a 12 string guitar in the near future and I expect a similar result, a good bit of kit.
