Michael F. Picco, M.D.
Dr. Michael Picco has been with Mayo Clinic since 1999. He is board certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology. Dr. Picco is an assistant professor of medicine at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, and a consultant in gastroenterology at Mayo Clinic in Florida.
He has authored numerous publications in the area of gastroenterology, including original research, editorials and textbook chapters. He works with a team of gastroenterologists that takes care of complex gastrointestinal conditions and has a particular interest in diarrheal illnesses and inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). He is also active in medical education in training new gastroenterologist and internists.
"Mayo Clinic's website is an invaluable resource for patients and their families," Dr. Picco said. "Informed patients are better able to participate in their own health care. A patient's participation is vital to the treatment of his or her disease. I hope to assist in helping patients understand their digestive problems and current treatments that are offered. This will allow for better communication between patients, their physicians and other health care professionals."
Dr. Picco serves as a reviewer of new research for several medical journals in the area of gastroenterology and is an active member of the American Gastroenterological Association, American College of Gastroenterology and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. He serves on numerous committees that address physician training, research and clinical practice in gastroenterology, both at Mayo Clinic and at the national level.
"Patients need to know about their disease, what to expect, the latest treatments and side effects so that they can make informed decisions about their health care. Gastrointestinal disease affects not only patients but also their families. My goal is to assure that our website provides accurate, reliable information and resources for patients. We must always provide the latest, most cutting-edge information to assist patients in dealing with their medical problems," Dr. Picco said.
Bezoars: What foods can cause this digestive problem?
I've heard that eating certain foods can cause bezoars. What are bezoars?
from Michael F. Picco, M.D.
A bezoar (BE-zor) is a solid mass of indigestible material that accumulates in your digestive tract, sometimes causing a blockage. Bezoars usually form in the stomach, sometimes in the small intestine or, rarely, the large intestine. They can occur in children and adults.
Bezoars occur most often in people with certain risk factors, including if you:
- Had gastric surgery that results in delayed stomach emptying
- Have decreased stomach size or reduced stomach acid production
- Have diabetes or end-stage kidney disease
- Receive breathing help with mechanical ventilation
One type of bezoar (trichobezoar) may occur in people with psychiatric illness or developmental disabilities.
Bezoars are classified according to the material that forms them:
- Phytobezoars are composed of indigestible food fibers, such as cellulose. These fibers occur in fruits and vegetables, including celery, pumpkin, prunes, raisins, leeks, beets, persimmons and sunflower-seed shells. Phytobezoars are the most common type of bezoar.
- Trichobezoars are composed of hair or hair-like fibers, such as carpet or clothing fibers. In severe cases, known as "Rapunzel's syndrome," the compacted fibers can fill the stomach with a tail extending into the small intestine. Rapunzel's syndrome is most common in adolescent girls.
- Pharmacobezoars are composed of medications that don't properly dissolve in your digestive tract.
Bezoars can cause lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight loss and a feeling of fullness after eating only a little food. Bezoars can also cause gastric ulcers, intestinal bleeding and obstruction, leading to tissue death (gangrene) in a portion of the digestive tract.
Small bezoars may pass through the digestive tract on their own or after you take medication to help dissolve the mass. Severe cases, especially large trichobezoars, often require surgery.
If you don't have one of the risk factors for bezoars, you're not likely to develop them. If you are at risk, reducing your intake of foods with high amounts of indigestible cellulose may reduce your risk.

The Buena Vista softball team carried over momentum gained from its doubleheader split of #14 St. Thomas on Friday by winning three of its final four games to close out its season-opening, three-day set of games, inside of the Rosemount Dome on Sunday. BVU split with Carleton College on Saturday before outscoring the University of Dallas, 20-2, during a doubleheader sweep on Sunday.
In the opener with Carleton, the Beavers scored runs in each of the first two innings before tacking on two more insurance runs in the fifth en route to the 4-0 victory. Freshman Erin Kliefoth (Exira, Iowa/Exira High School) launched her first career home run in the second and that proved to be the only extra-base hit for BVU, which finished with seven in the contest. Sophomore Brooke Berkey (Colfax, Iowa/Colfax) tallied two of the seven hits and also scored two runs.
Senior Chancey Wilcke (Battle Creek, Iowa/BC-IG) turned in her seventh career complete-game shutout, allowing only two hits and striking out five.
BVU then jumped out to a commanding 7-0 lead in game two, with four runs in the second and three more in the third. Carleton, however, began to chip away at that lead with single runs in the third and fourth before erupting for six in the seventh en route to the 8-7 win.
Kliefoth added two more hits for the Beavers, including a double, to go along with three RBI and two runs scored. Freshman Jessica Stocker (Des Moines, Iowa/Carlisle High School) doubled twice and drove in one while scoring twice, as senior Jami Webster (Spencer, Iowa/Spencer) posted two hits and Berkey two RBI.
Wilcke came on in relief in the seventh and was charged with three runs on six hits to suffer her first loss of the year. Webster got the start and went six innings, allowing just two runs on five hits, while striking out seven.
The Beavers finished its season-opening trip in convincing fashion against the University of Dallas on Sunday.
Wilcke turned in a solid performance with both her arm and her bat, going 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI at the plate, while throwing her third complete game of the year, allowing only two runs on six hits, while striking out six and walking none, as BVU went on to win 10-2 in five innings. Wilcke now has 24 career wins which moves her into eighth on the program's all-time list, and also sits 10 strikeouts shy of becoming only the sixth player in school history with at least 200.
The final game was much of the same, as the team scored two runs in each of the first two innings before plating three more in the third and fifth innings to win 10-0 in five innings.
Freshman Stephanie Hayden (Prairie City, Iowa/PCM) had a big game at the plate for the Beavers, going 3-for-3 with a triple, two RBI and two runs scored. Junior Alison Kirchgatter (Anthon, Iowa/MVAO) also tallied three hits, including a double, and scored three times, to go along with one RBI. BVU out-hit the University of Dallas, 12-1, in the contest.
Webster was tough on the mound, picking up her second career win and her first career complete-game shutout. She finished the contest allowing just the one hit and struck out five, as only five balls left the infield.
Buena Vista (4-2) is off to its best start since going 10-5 to start the year back in 2001. The team looks to add to that win total next weekend as it will play a doubleheader in St. Louis, Mo., against Fontbonne University (2-2) beginning at 3:00pm on March 16 before playing a pair of games in Fulton, Mo., on Saturday , March 17, against Westminster College (1-2), starting at 1:00pm.

Sorry for yelling, but I needed to get your attention!
Yes, perfect for the whole family, Kitty is a must-have gift for the loved ones during the holiday season!
Speaking of the holidays, just in time for December, is Happy Skalidays! A ska-punk track that will get you into the [insert winter holiday here] mood!
Other new tracks include Dark Chocolate, a synthy-metal track guaranteed to make you question why you're listening to it! That's Some Real Sciency Sh!t, an electronic tune (which may cause upset stomach, so keep some Pepto with you while listening), Rise... and Let the Dancing Commence, intro track to the hit song Dance Your Pants Off! And Kitty! Which is.... ehh..... I'm not quite sure what it is. But the kids will love it!
PSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTT.... Word on the street is that there's a hidden bonus track if you download the entire album, which can be purchased or downloaded for free! But you didn't hear this from me....
So what the **** are you waiting for? Get it today!
...and if you desire to listen to the album elsewhere, it's available in its entirety (except for the super-duper bonus track someone mentioned earlier) on Soundcloud.
Happy Skalidays, everyone!
I can't download the full album...
Also, I know you've heard this a million times, but WHERE THE HECK IS BREAKOUT RAP!
My Friend Code For Wii: 8079-1131-0641-5445
PSN: TheDancingRocket
XBox Live: DeferredGalaxy3 (ADD ME ON XBOX360!!!!!!)
So the new album will be YWS V. Don't expect it to be finished for a few months. Less saturation of music out of my noggin!
Anyways, two new* tracks up on the album to keep you satisfied until I finish other songs.
Anthem of the Youth
Lament of the Pixels
*Note: Lament of the Pixels isn't new. I made it a while back and it was up on some obscure Chiptune EP on my site that I never announced, and was under a different name.

B+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: my school is close to south 27th street but if you don't have a car it's hard to get there.
A+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are so many great restaurants within 15 minutes of Alverno. Downtown milwaukee, eastside, bayview, all of them offer great choices whether you are looking for Mexcian, Sushi, or Wings.

Milwaukee has an array of restaurants, and if there is something you are craving, you will find it. Because Milwaukee is a dairy state, there are lots of custard or ice cream shops. Milwaukee also has its share of classic American food, like hamburgers, steaks, and fries. However, there are all kinds of ethnic restaurants ranging from Indian to Mexican to Thai. Wherever you are in Milwaukee, you will find a great place to eat, and sometimes the best places to eat at are small hole-in-the-wall spots. Milwaukee, like every other city in the United States, has its share of fast food restaurants and chain restaurants.
Alverno students eat a lot on 27th Street because it is so close to campus, and the food is relatively cheap and easy to grab between classes or with friends on weekends. A lot of students eat off campus to either supplement their meal plans or just to get something out of the norm. However, there are also expensive, top-of-the-line restaurants for a special night out, as well. There is a good mix of foods, restaurants, and price ranges all over the city. If you want it, it is somewhere out there.

Just curious if there will be a "basic" MK3 package available? Im guessing given currency it'll be a little over $2000 US. Great piece of equipment from what I've read. looking forward to more reviews!

Thanks for your response Robert!
Your photos speak a thousand words. I'm very keen to get my hands on at least the hand unit, and explore the firmware capabilities. I also wouldn't mind taking apart the motor if I could get away with it. I obviously won't be asking you to do that.
The receiver unit looks fantastic. It definitely presents heaps of flexibility for mounting. Unlike a BFD or Preston, one does not have to commit to any permanent mounting point.
Now that we've al been curious about the hardware itself, I'd ask if the footage you've shot with it so far is smooth? Some cruder motors I've come across (like an old generation Heden) tend to be rough on the lens (too much torque perhaps), and a slight shake comes through in the image. Have you had any problems like this with the RT motor?
Just received our first Mk3 FIZ, very pleased with build quality and operation. Motors are particularly impressive small and powerful, well designed for auto calibration. The Motor Control unit is very small, and hand controller feels nice in the hand and we like the OLED display. All cables are well built to as high a standard as we see from other companies. Highly recommended.
That's pretty incredible.
Of course I'll withhold my true judgement until I get my hands on one. But if the system really performs as well as most people are saying, then I'd reckon that Bartech and Hocus Products have some major catching up to do.
Thanks for the comments Dave!
I should also mention that pre sales support has been very good also, I don't see why this should change for after sales support. The company are very proactive and Im impressed by their response so far.
Two cameramen and a focus puller were in our facility and viewed the unit, I could see they were all trying to find where the problems were or anything that might not be up to other much more expensive units standards. They didn't find anything and also noted even the Zoom control is the exact same component fitted to the most expensive FF unit they use. Ill post more reviews here but we will be ordering more RTMotion units for FIZ and 3D rig control. The only issue is the units are back ordered as they are so popular.
Bit more of an update on my RT Motion unit. On the last 2 jobs it has been out on there has been a problem with it dropping out while we used a jib, around 10ft above head height. Granted we were on the roof of a building in a fairly built up area, that could have had a fairly busy airspace. We did have members of the crew asking for a bartech, which they felt would not be having such problems. I have fed this info back to RT Motion.
Interesting to hear Robert. Still, I'm sure the BFD wasn't perfect when it was released (though admittedly, I'm not familiar with the Bartech's history). I can sympathise with the crew desiring one at the first sign of weakness from a new system, but I'm really rooting for the rtmotion to pull through. I've read some very zealous rants on other forums from people defending the BFD. Very arrogant and defensive in tone, 'love-bombing' the inventor personally, more than the product itself. I'm thrilled among other reasons that the rtmotion at least incites some much needed competition in this market. Hocus products still seem to be labouring on a single channel system which is yet to see (as far as I've observed) a commercial release. I'm curious to see if this signal drop-out is a hardware or software failure, and if a bartech would indeed have had superior performance. Keep the comments coming. Thanks mate!
I'm just feeding info back as requested and staying impartial. I'm in for the long run on the RTmotion rig, and it is so near being brilliant. It's just that last 10%. I did mail Kris from RTmotion late last night to feed back the issues and he returned my email at 1.30am. I will say i ordered some wide gears 18 days ago, which i still haven't received, even though they were showing as in stock. I was assured they had been sent 3 times each time they never arrived, which is a bit of a pain. But Kris and Kerry at RTmotion are thoroughly nice people, and i am sure the only reason things don't get sent is because they are putting time and attention into getting on top of things.
Has anyone heard anything about stock from them for the MK3 for the last couple months? I've been on a waiting list since early April but have heard nothing. I also emailed them a month ago and got nothing back. But to their credit they do ask on their site to not ask for availability.
I've observed a few changes on their website in recent days. They've updated the concept photos of their systems in the "Shop" section, as well as removed any reference to date availabaility (which previously cited 1st August). I really wish they'd at least make a user manual public. I won't hold it against them for now that their product keeps seeing delays. It's obviously not a development delay since many in this thread have already reported of recieving and using the systems already, and have posted images. Still, once they get on top of things, a more robust attempt at marketing on their part would be appreciated. The website is rather elusive of details of the products, relying on vague buzzwords like "auto-calibration", and "intelligent wireless". The home-page popup still states customer response from "Aug", which, judging by the other changes on the website, is an old message that got overlooked in the update process.

Brokain tells the riveting story, about him defeating an entire legion of Orcs in the Clefts of Rujark. Stay on the edge of your seat, as he recounts how he saved his entire party from certain destruction...
"Exactly." The man answered. "Without me they were doomed. We would've still been wandering the entrance halls looking for how to get deeper into the mines had I not realized that we needed to find this 'Overseer' gent. So I lead the group back to the lift and we went through the door next to it, obviously the overseer's lair. It was dark and the walls seemed to close in on us as I took point, the monk in our group behind me as backup…but she really just wanted to enjoy the view, if you know what I mean." The man winked and nudged one of the other two men, Hakim, with his elbow.

Our take on the EverQuest 2 server merges
Dramatic news has rippled across the EverQuest 2 playerbase. Like a kid smacking together 2 different colors of play-do, many of the lower population servers are being merged together. How will it pan out? Nobody is sure but it affects the psychology and morale of the players. Savanja takes a look at the merge and what it means:
The benefits that I can see from this radical decision seem obvious to me, and I gather these points were on the minds of the EQ2 "Gods" when they were contemplating the shake up of the entire playerbase. I'm certain that this was not an easy decision for the developers to come to, as they had to have known that people would generally freak out at this kind of news. And quite honestly, nothing is scarier than a angry gamer.

Ok this one time in EQ we were storming the Plane of Sky...
Sound familiar? Looks like they're bringing back Sky. If I still played the game I'd be ecstatic. If I still played hah!
It was a fun zone. However, this time it's supposedly bigger, badder and filled with more monsters. GameCloud interviews Ryan Schwayder about this new expansion
Gamecloud - First, how did the idea for the Kingdom of Sky expansion come about? Ryan "Blackguard" Shwayder - We'd been planning this expansion for some time, planting seeds of the story throughout the base game and Desert of Flames, as well as in the back-story for EverQuest II. With the collapse of some of the planes in the absence of the gods, the effects of such an occurrence would be felt throughout Norrath.

Looks like this scary bug we call romance has hit all of the developers. SOE has it's own version in the form of Erollisi Day.
It's time to spread the love, Norrath; Erollisi Day is upon us! Speak with Stinky in the Commonlands or Goldie in Antonica to show the fullness of your heart. You may be tasked with finding hearts among the dangers of Norrath. Like love, these items are hard to find. Make sure your setting for Particle Quality is greater than Minimal, or love will surely escape you.
Let's hear it for this Hallmark Holiday that allows us to get free candy and gear!

Norrathians have a <3
If you are like many men, seeing mention of Valentine's Day just put you in a panic that you haven't gotten anything for your significant other yet. Before you dash out the door to find something at Walgreen's, take a quick moment to check out Savanja's article on in-game love.
Anyone that has made their home within a tight kind of guild, or server community, knows that bonds of friendship, and sometimes those deeper bonds of love, form. It's inevitable when you spend time with any group of people that alliances, and rivalries will take hold. I know so many couples that have met the love of their lives in a MMO. I have seen so many friendships form that vastly outgrow the barriers of a virtual world. And to me, it seems such a pure way of making those connections, free of the physical worries of everyday interaction. I can be the geeky gamer girl that I am, and still find caring acceptance within the confines of this silly little box on my desk, which I lovingly refer to as my "cupholder".

Hammer Time!
If you just imagined a guy dancing in baggy pants and yelled "Stop!" - sorry about that. This time we are talking about a real hammer...well ok, a virtual hammer. Just get that song out of my head!
EverQuest 2 @ TenTonHammer sat down with master Carpenter Adeste and discusses how this class is perceived and what improvements are warranted.
RadarX: What drew you to this class? Why Carpentry over some of the more popular classes like Sage? Adeste: What drew me to carpentry is the tangible outcome of my work. In all the other tradeskill classes, you don't end up with something you can place and see and touch and admire. Nothing else results in a physical object added to the world. Classes that make consumables - like spells, poisons, and food - seem very ephemeral to me. Even classes that make equipment for others, such as weapons and armour, aren't as satisfying. An adventurer will wear the item for 10 levels, then sell it to a vendor, and it'll be gone as if it never existed. But furniture is forever, and can be enjoyed by everyone who sees it, not just the wearer.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Life's best lessons often emerge during caregiving role
By Angela Lunde
35 comments posted
I'm writing on Mother's Day so it seems only natural that I'm thinking about my own mother. I feel tremendous gratitude that my mother, who lives only a few miles from me, doesn't have Alzheimer's or a related dementia. In fact, other than the normal age related issues that she brings up from time to time, she's both beautiful and healthy.
Many of you may not be so fortunate, as your mother may have Alzheimer's. The relationship between an adult child and their mother with Alzheimer's is unique in each family. But always, the experience of caregiving is relational. It can't be separated from people's understanding of each other in the past, present, or even the anticipated future. The personal journey of each son or daughter in a caregiving role is rooted in past relationships.
The mother-daughter bond (for better or worse) is central to the lives of women. For most of us, our mother knows us in ways no one else does, or even can. Only our mother fully knows the events surrounding our birth, only she may hold certain details of our childhood, our awkward quirks, most embarrassing moments and the pivotal milestones in our life. For some of us, it's our mother we look to, to share our joys, and who we turn to when we need to be comforted. So, when a daughter has a mother with Alzheimer's, the grief can be immeasurable.
Leeza Gibbons tells of the first time her mother with Alzheimer's no longer recognized her:
"I remember being home in my mother's house in South Carolina, helping her make the bed, and she was watching my every movement closely and trying to mirror what I was doing. Then she stopped and looked at me, and I said, "What's the matter, Mom?" She said, "You're a very nice lady. How do I know you?" And I just smiled and said, "You know me because today I'm your daughter, yesterday I was your daughter, and I'll always be your daughter." And she said, "Oh." "It stabs your heart," Leeza said.
In my discussions with daughters who are caring for a mother (or father) with Alzheimer's, there are always those that inspire me with their grace. These women speak about the incredible sadness of not only losing a part of their mother, but feel like they're losing a part of themselves as well. Yet, in spite of this, I hear often from women about the unexpected gifts and the life lessons that prevail even in the darkest stretches of caregiving.
Many share how their mothers with Alzheimer's teach them about living in the moment — existing outside of memory and occupying the moment wholly. These daughters have learned how to find a sense of contentment and love in the face of a bad situation — mostly by simply choosing to. They reveal that their mother's Alzheimer's teaches them that unleashing the joy in caregiving, and moreover in life, has to do with adjusting priorities, learning to value little steps, letting go of old ideas and expectations, seeing the delight in ordinary things and accepting life as it unfolds.
Life lessons from Mom needn't end when Alzheimer's begins. In fact, the greatest may be yet to come.
"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!"

New Haven boasts Colonial charm, a rich history, and a sophisticated, eclectic mix of arts and entertainment, cultural attractions and gastronomical delights. For a city of its size, New Haven offers some of the most interesting experiences in Connecticut, if not New England.
Downtown and Yale
The first thing most people associate with New Haven is Yale, one of the world's great universities. It has a great presence in the city, and the city of New Haven grew up around the heart of the campus, which is a commanding display of classic colonial and modern Gothic architecture. Several world-renowned museums and theaters are located on or near campus, such as the Yale Center for British Art , the Yale University Art Gallery , the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library or the Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments . It is an aesthetic treat to visit the campus and an architectural pleasure.
The Green
New Haven was the first planned city in the country, and the New Haven Green was part of the original city plan. The Green's 16 acres are the center of downtown New Haven, as well as bordering the eastern edge of the Yale campus. The Green hosts a variety of local cultural, entertainment and social events during the course of the year. Impressive municipal buildings face the Green, as well as three churches: Trinity Church , First Congregational Church of Christ (also known locally as the Center Church ), and the United Church , all built around 1813, and wonderful examples of Gothic, Federal and Georgian architecture. The area northeast of the Green contains the Audubon Arts District . Here you will find a brick-lined street lined with condominiums, restaurants, stores and the headquarters for the Greater New Haven Arts Council. To the southeast of the Green is the section of downtown now known as Ninth Square, one of the nine squares that made up New Haven's original layout. The area includes sections of Chapel Street, Church Street, George Street and State Street. Although this redeveloping area does not yet have much shopping and dining, some restaurants of note include the Malaysian favorite, Bentara, on Orange Street, and the popular and award winning gay hangout, Gotham Citi, on Church Street.
Long Wharf
The Long Wharf area, on New Haven harbor, is disconnected from the rest of downtown, but nonetheless an integral part of New Haven. There is an industrial area, and a commercial harbor. The Long Wharf Theatre , one of the country's best-known and most-honored regional theaters, is located here, as is the enormous Sports Haven , offering telecast horse and dog racing. The main restaurant here is the Rusty Scupper , which offers views of Long Island Sound as well as a menu of seafood delights. At Brazi's Italian restaurant, near the theater, patrons can enjoy a meal before or after a show.
East Shore
The East Shore neighborhood is probably best known for Lighthouse Point Park , on the Sound. There is a landmark lighthouse, built in 1840, a beautifully restored carousel, and lovely views. The East Shore neighborhood has a colorful history. On July 5, 1779 the British landed on East Shore, overcame a small, colonial garrison at Black Rock Fort, and marched into New Haven for their one-day occupation of the city. East Shore is home to the Pardee-Morris House , built in 1680 and the survivor of the British Invasion and three centuries of waterfront storms.
Fair Haven
Fair Haven is another neighborhood on the Sound, and its earliest history is connected to oystering. The first European settlers took up oystering from the native Quinnipiac Indians. Today, because of pollution, oysters harvested here are moved to cleaner waters for several weeks before being served in local restaurants—where they are considered quite safe to eat. Other Fair Haven highlights include the Fair Haven Woodworks , offering a remarkable collection of hand crafted furniture, and the small Riverside Park along the Quinnipiac River, where some gentrification has begun to occur.
City Point/Oyster Point
Howard Avenue, along the water in Oyster Point, also known as City Point, reminds you of a small fishing village. Many grandiose homes built in the 1880s have been restored to their original beauty. Although there was a period of decay after the neighborhood was cut off from the rest of the city by Interstate 95, this quiet sea-side neighborhood has become one of the more pleasing areas to visit in New Haven. The Inn at Oyster Point is located near the water on one of the quaint streets. At one of the docks at the end of Howard Avenue is the Sage American Bar and Grill, formerly the Chart House, where you can enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the sights and sounds of the harbor. The 90-foot schooner Quinnipiac is docked here.
Wooster Square (Little Italy)
Wooster Square was named after the New Haven Revolutionary War hero, David Wooster. It was once a neighborhood of elegant brownstones surrounding the square, but many of the houses were razed for factories and tenements for Irish workers in the mid 19th Century. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants replaced the Irish, creating the "Little Italy" we know today, commonly referred to simply as Wooster Street . Wooster Street and Wooster Square engender thoughts of New Haven's famous pizzerie, Pepe's and Sally's , which vie each year for the title of best pizza in the world. The first pizza in the country was served here, and it is still home to some of the best Italian cuisine around; in restaurants and bakeries such as Consiglio's , Lucibello's , and Tre Scalini . Wooster Street itself is unassuming but, in the summer, the street is alive with festivals and celebrations when locals and everyone else come out to party. It is one of New Haven's more lively and colorful neighborhoods.
Shoreline East
For a scenic drive and quick escape from the city, take Interstate 95 or even Boston Post Road north towards Providence. The small towns that dot the shoreline are full of delightful historic sights, beaches, eateries, shopping and hotels. The 17th-18th century homes in these towns are products of reconstruction after numerous hurricanes and raids by Native Americans and the British that often left the entire towns in ruins. Branford, the largest of these towns, is home to Stony Point (due to its rocky shore) and boats that go out to the nearby Thimble Islands for excellent daytrips. The next town over is Guilford, home to Bishop's Orchards and has one of the prettiest town greens in Connecticut that holds a renowned Guilford Art Center Craft Expo every July. Hammonasset State Park in Madison offers a fantastic stretch of sandy beaches for young and old to enjoy, pick up some books at R.J. Julia , and afterwards feast upon seafood at Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale . In both Clinton and Westbrook, indulge in some serious shopping at Clinton Crossing and the Tanger Outlet Center . Old Saybrook, where Yale University was chartered as Collegiate College back in 1701, and was home to actress Katharine Hepburn until her death in 2003, is the most developed and commercial of the shoreline towns with plenty of restaurants, stores and beaches for locals and tourists.
One of the best-kept secrets about the New Haven area is the abundance and variety of its restaurants. And one of the best things about the restaurants in the compact downtown area is that most are within walking distance of one another, so you can stroll along checking out menus and decide at a leisurely pace what you are pining for. Even better, you can fill your entire evening with samples from various establishments, and make the rounds like a true New Haven native.
Downtown &Yale
Start with drinks at Hot Tomato's , pop over to The Anchor , and then grab an après-dîner beer at Brü Rm. at Bar . If you are still hungry, go across the street to Louis' Lunch , where the hamburger was invented. Louis' is open until 2a Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and is a cultural institution not to be missed. There is ethnic fusion at the chic Zinc , and traditional American at the classic turn-of-the-century Richter's Tap Room, New Haven's oldest bar. There is a piano playing at Scoozi's , too, which serves its fine Italian food outdoors in good weather.
You can get excellent sushi at Akasaka's , while Sono Bana Japanese Restaurant is just a few minutes north of downtown, and serves some of the best lunch specials in the area. In the mood for Thai? The award-winning Bangkok Gardens , near the Yale campus, can sate your appetite while you people-watch in the dining atrium. If it's Mexican you crave, then look no further than hot and sunny Villa del Sol, serving authentic south-of-the-border cuisine.
When in the Long Wharf area and in search of some fine seafood, head to The Rusty Scupper , which is, despite its unusual name, a classy choice for an evening out. When in search of something more casual, head to Brazi's for fresh pizza family fun. Across the bridge, on the east side of the harbor, you can get all the seafood you desire at Regatta Bar & Grill . For a taste of India, head to Darbar India for their weekend buffet.
Wooster Square (Little Italy)
Wooster Square's "Little Italy" is famous for its dueling pizza shops: Frank Pepe's Pizzeria and Sally's Apizza , each vying for the title of best pizza in the world. But Wooster Street is also chock-full of Italian restaurants exploding with traditional and local specialties. Try Consiglio's , Abate's or Tre Scalini , then satisfy your sweet tooth at one of the neighborhood's fine bakeries, like Lucibello's or ice cream shops.
Shoreline East
There are some excellent restaurants in the upscale shoreline towns within a short drive of downtown. Heading east, the sizzling Esteva American Cafe on the Guilford Green is a new hot spot with a New York City bistro-style atmosphere. Over in Madison, you can get hearty all-American fare at the Dolly Madison Inn or try the Cafe Allegre that serves fine Italian cuisine and other delicious delectables, and if you can't bear to leave, they have rooms for overnight guests at their Inn at Lafayette. A favorite locale in Old Saybrook is Pat's Kountry Kitchen , serving fantastic country cooking with a strong New England flair.
Of course, one of the best reasons for coming to the Shoreline is the seafood, especially fresh lobster, clam chowder and scrod (a type of young cod found only in New England). Plenty of small, family-run restaurants dot Route 1 from Branford to Old Saybrook. If on the go or looking for a more formal, sit-down meal there are the Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale restaurants in Madison and Westbrook where you can get a hot buttered lobster roll, fish and chips, onion rings, five-pound (or larger!) lobsters and more. Just down the road in Old Saybrook, their seafood icon is the famous drive-in Johnny Ad's where clam strips reign supreme and foot-long Hummel hot dogs are everyone's favorite.
New Haven is a very walkable city, and it is recommended that you try to see the central section on foot, as the Green, Yale, shops, restaurants, theaters and museums are all within a few blocks of each other. It is an easy and enjoyable navigation, so tighten your laces and get ready to go!
A visit to New Haven wouldn't be complete without a visit to Yale, one of the world's most famous universities. Located across from the New Haven Green is the Yale Center for British Art , which boasts the largest collection of British art outside of Britain itself. The nearby Yale University Art Gallery has over 100,000 pieces in its collection. Close by are the Yale Repertory Theatre and the Chamber Music Society at Yale . You'll find a welcoming meal at the campus mainstay Claire's Corner Copia .
Audubon Arts District
Located downtown, the Audubon Arts District is filled with small galleries such as Artspace and larger spaces, like the John Slade Ely House . Along the way, stop into the Union League Cafe for some French cuisine. You'll find the Connecticut Children's Museum nearby, close to the New Haven Colony Historical Society .
Shoreline East
Take a drive down the 12-mile (20-kilometer) Scenic Route 146 , which runs along the scenic Shoreline East. Stop into Bishop's Orchards , browse the pastry case and pick up some fresh fruit. Tour Chamard Vineyards and shop at the Clinton Antique Center , then dine on the patio at the Regatta Bar & Grill .
Eli Whitney Museum
Nearby New Haven Green is the Eli Whitney Museum , where visitors can learn about the history of the cotton gin. Not far away is the Sleeping Giant Park , which contains 32 miles of trails and forest. Dine at the popular Sono Bana Japanese Restaurant . The Waterbury Symphony Orchestra concert hall hosts several performances a year.
Shoreline West
Along the Shoreline West you'll find the West Haven Beaches . Once you've done some relaxing, stop into the Westfield Connecticut Post . The summer months offer the Meet the Artists & Artisans program, when local artists display their work for the public. The quality and variety at the West Haven Farmers Market draws huge crowds. Head over to nearby Shoreline East and dine at Darbar India .
These tour companies will help you to experience all that New Haven has to offer. Take a luxurious cruise, tour a local winery or see it through the windows of a train.

Billionaire Soros Dumps Half His Paper Gold Investments
by alexoscarew | February 16, 2013 at 11:07 am
77 views | 1 Recommendation | 0 comments
Billionaire investor George Soros is increasingly bearish on gold.
Soros cut his investment in the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) in half during the fourth quarter, according to a regulatory filing.
The $8.5 billion Soros Fund Management now owns 600,000 shares of the gold ETF, worth an estimated $97 million. That's down from 1.3 million shares, worth more than $227 million, in the third quarter. The ETF is one of the most widely held gold-backed ETFs.

Comments about Black Sidelight Classic Flat Fireplace Screen with Doors:
The quality of this stylish screen is amazing. We looked at screens that were twice the price and not nearly as well constructed. The design would look good in many decors and certainly enhances OUR fireplace. Great purchase!

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 10:05 a.m. Tuesday, April 12, 2011
By Jamie Dupree
I always chuckle when I hear people talk about the need to "read the bill" because I know full well most people on Capitol Hill could read legislation and not understand what's in it.
A perfect example is the budget deal worked out last Friday night, which averted a government shutdown.
There are a few non-budget items in this bill, but you would be hard pressed to figure out what they are.
My colleague Lisa Desjardins at CNN Radio helped me find this one, when I couldn't locate it in the bill - even though I knew this provision was included.
This section of the bill - well, wait - I'll let you read it and figure out what it does:
SEC. 1713. Before the end of the 60-day period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall reissue the final rule published on April 2, 2009 (74 Fed. Reg. 15123 et seq.) without regard to any other provision of statute or regulation that applies to issuance of such rule. Such reissuance (including this section) shall not be subject to judicial review and shall not abrogate or otherwise have any effect on the order and judgment issued by the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming in Case Numbers 09–CV–118J and 09–CV–138J on November 18, 2010.
Without doing any internet searches, do you have any idea what this would do?
Of course not.
Your answer is that it has to do with wolves.
"(T)he legislation contains language reinstating the Fish and Wildlife Service's original determination to delist wolves in states with approved management plans in place. It returns management of wolf populations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Utah to the states," states an explanation from the House Appropriations Committee.
I do urge people to "read the bill" as often as possible.
But I also know that unless you have a law degree, or some distinct experience in Legislative Mumbo Jumbo, you might not know what you are reading either.
If I find any more gems, I'll add them on later today.

Thread: Is Alice too close to Alison?

Is Alice too close to Alison?
One of my favourite girls names is Alice. I suggested this name to my husband and he said: "It's too close to Alison." Alison is the name of (bear with me) my husband's sister's husband's sister. So, his brother-in-law's sister. She passed away from cancer three years ago and my niece's middle name is Alison in her honour. To be honest, the similarity between Alice and Alison hadn't even occurred to me before my husband mentioned it. So, do you think Alice and Alison are too similar? I see them very differently, but my husband obviously disagrees.

I think that as far as literal sounds, they are very similar. I agree with the PP that they are very different styles though. Also, if you were talking about sisters that would be one thing, but when you're talking about you sister-in-law's niece's middle name, I think we enter into a whole new realm of not mattering. Even if you two are really close, the fact that they are two different names used in two different spots would be a non-issue for me.

I'd ask them if it bothers them, but I don't think it's too close.
I'm just trying to behave as I think a friend should behave. Granted, I haven't had much practice.

Use the 2J, Sports Soft tires, 400kmh gearbox.
Pump the speed up, cancel any pit request.
You will fall behind, but each pitstop you will catch up. You should win by over 2 minutes.

Hey I had no luck wiht this the other day but today golded both of them and won by over half a lap on each race.
I used the Honda NSX Takata for the 1st race and then the Audi Playstation Race Car and blitzed it with that race as well.
Didn't think of the 2J car though.
Will try that again later tonight to crank up the coin.
I coined 10 million with these races + the lvl 23 car..
Good Luck..
