Vandals Smash Irreplaceable Dinosaur
When paleontologists uncover a dinosaur, they have plenty of reason to worry. In some parts of the world, such as Mongolia, black market thieves often steal and smuggle dinosaurs that wind up bringing in hefty sums at auction houses. Sometimes, paleontologists have returned to field sites to find skeletons stolen right out from under their noses. But, even closer to home, vandals regularly damage and destroy dinosaurs. Earlier this month, an "irreplaceable" dinosaur skeleton discovered near Grande Prairie, Canada was destroyed by persons unknown.
According t0 the CBC, the destroyed skeleton was a hadrosaur being excavated by paleontologist Phil Bell and a University of Alberta field team. The dinosaur was discovered on June 15th, and was complete enough that Bell intended the dinosaur to eventually go up on exhibit. When Bell returned to the site this month, however, the dinosaur was turned into a cascade of broken bone fragments. Even worse, this isn't the first time dinosaurs at this site have been vandalized. Since May, the report says, three other fossils have been stolen or damaged.
There's no clear motive for why the criminals smashed the site. But they vandals left a clue behind. At a campsite near the dinosaur excavation, the CBC reports, investigators found a liquor store receipt that may help track down the people who so callously pulverized the hadrosaur.
I'm completely baffled as to why anyone would want to destroy a dinosaur. The fantastic animal beat the odds against preservation and remained locked in stone for tens of millions of years, and can tell us about a world that we can never see ourselves. What sort of stupid, selfish person would even think of turning a wonderful fossil into a pile of rubble? It is truly sad that paleontologists have to worry about this kind of destruction. Dinosaurs belong to everyone, and it's heartbreaking to see one stolen from us by ignorant despoilers.

This news is pretty old. I thought the vandals were caught. The way you reported the incident gives me the impression that the vandals are still at large.
the persons that did this was obviously a sad little jesus worshiper that couldn't handle the irrefutable evidence emerging from the earth that flys in the face of their beliefs. so they got drunk and talked themselves up convincing each other what they were about to do was right and that they could pass gods test of their faith by destroying the ideas of critical thinking, the ability to find ones own path in life without the debilitating crutch that is religion, and an understanding of the physical universe that the Hadrosaur represented to these sorry individuals. it is literally a miracle less than one and a million odds that this Hadrosaur could be preserved for millions of years in the rocks and then found and uncovered. it is a travesty that something like this could happen, the precious knowledge of our planets past inhabitants was snatched from the minds of the world because some sad little person who refused to open their eyes and minds to the truth of the universe instead preferring only to listen and believe what others tell them about some book most people don't really even read much less try to understand. if you want to catch who did this start with the ministers of all the local churches and if one of them didn't actually destroy the dinosaur then i'd bet they could point you in the right direction for who did the destruction.
I can think of a reason right off the top of my head. There are people who don't believe in evolution and may think of fossils as something evil set in the rocks by Satan to fool mankind. Yeah. I know. Crazy hypothesis. But they actually build museums about it. It's a common enough viewpoint that someone who held it and got drunk and thought smashing mailboxes was fun would feel morally justified in smashing up a dinosaur in the ground. Especially if he thought all the ones in museums were fakes.
I clicked on these comments, expecting someone to have a little axe-grinding aside about 'bible bashers' or somesuch; but I didn't expect to see quite this amount of froth-mouthed ranting on the subject.
How about employing a little bit of evidence and reason, eh? Let's wait 'til we see what the culprits have to say for themselves.
There's a more recent article here. It says there are still no suspects.
As for the motive…perhaps nothing more than drunken idiocy.
But in the case of the Hadrosaur, Currie thinks it was people who got together for a party, didn't even think about it, and weren't even aware of the law protecting fossils.
because people are just that stupid. Last summer, we almost went to the track site at Red Fleet State Park. Can't remember where, but my dad heard a story that some time ago a boy scout troop visited the site. The little s***s decided to tear several of the footprints off and hurl them into the lake. luckily salvage divers were able to retrieve them and they were sent to various museums. It's bad enough that the ancient sciences (geology, paleontology, archaeology) get the shaft in terms of funding and even respect. But when a bunch of morons decide that destroying our very heritage makes for a good time… i weep for the future of our race…
Creationists? Or just someone with a grudge. I hope they are eventually found out.
I don't know why people would think "Creationists/Jesus worshippers did this……. after all there are dinosaurs in the new Creation Museum, and I believe these people claim that the 'dragons' of the bible and other early legends are dinosaurs, therefore 'proving' the accuracy of the bible.
Perhaps a more obvious motive is that of hobbyist fossil hunters, disgusted by the bouble standard in that they are not allowed to collect dinosaur fossils, because they are mere commoners who do not enjoy the elite status of being connected to a university or museum.
Where I live, liquor store receipt, and good x-ian correlate strongly. Just saying…

Brushing teeth is quite a chore to some kids. I find that many parents feel that brushing is not important if their children still have primary teeth, since these will fall out anyway. However, it is crucial to take care of your child's primary teeth just as you would their permanent teeth. Improperly flossing and brushing primary teeth can lead to improper growth and development of permanent teeth. I found that allowing your child to choose his or her own toothbrush and toothpaste makes brushing fun, as well as constructing a "brushing chart" on the wall with stickers being placed in the mornings and evenings after each brushing. It's an easy and fun way to keep track and promote brushing. What ways do you persuade your kids to brush daily?
We have had good luck in that our toddler loves to brush with her various toothbrushes. We have multiple and let her choose each night.

United Police released a statement late Tuesday saying that another man and a woman were arrested Tuesday and face homicide charges stemming from Justen Lefave's death.
Police say Alexis Hughes was one of two women who knocked on Lefave's door on August 26, moments before he was shot by a man behind the women. Police say Anthony Martinez took the women to the apartment.
Another man and another woman are already in custody in the case. Gabriel Gurule is accused of fatally shooting Lefave in the robbery attempt, and Amy Rowley is accused of being the other women who knocked on his door.

about the exhibition
Hudson (Show)Room
January 14–April 02, 2000
about the artistsCarlos Amorales was born in 1970 in Mexico and currently resides in Amsterdam. His work in performance and video has been included in solo and group shows in Europe and Mexico, including Migros Museum, Zurich, Switzerland; Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and the Museo de Arte Carillo Gil, Mexico City, Mexico. In 2000, his work will be included in inSITE Tijuana/San Diego and the exhibition, Let's Entertain, at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN.
Vanessa Beecroft was born in 1969 in Italy and currently lives and works in New York. She has orchestrated her signature performances at venues internationally, including the Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art, CA; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia; and the Moderna Musset, Stockholm, Sweden. Her work was included in the SITE Santa Fe Biennial Exhibition (1997) and the 1997 Venice Biennial.
Gillian Wearing, born in 1963 in Birmingham, England, lives and works in London. Her video and photographic work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe and the U.S., including the 1995 Venice Biennial, Italy; Brilliant! New Art from London, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; and Sensation, currently at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY. In 1997 she was awarded the prestigious Turner Prize from the Tate Gallery in London.
about the exhibition
Makeshift presents video works by three leading international artists: Carlos Amorales, Vanessa Beecroft and Gillian Wearing. Curated by Sofia Hernandez Chong Cuy, a graduate student at the Bard College Center for Curatorial Studies in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, the exhibition highlights the performative aspects of contemporary video art.
Makeshift investigates the work of three artists who have reflected on the notion of personal interaction within existing social frameworks. The works in the exhibition examine the role of performance in our everyday lives—how our actions and behaviors are predetermined by our environments.
Carlos Amorales has created a fictional character, a wrestler, who wears a mask designed as the artists' own portrait. In Amorales Interim (1997), an actor, wearing this mask, performs a set of conditioned and planned scenarios, displacing the artist's narrative and the contexts, function and audience of Mexican wrestling.
Vanessa Beecroft uses actors bodies as live, standing statues for her performances. Models almost identical in appearance are motionless and mute for hours. In Piano Americano (1996), models are united (or "branded") by their uniforms of wigs, high heels, brassieres and pantyhose, yet camouflaged by the muted colors and modular arrangement of their bodies in space.
In contrast with Amorales and Beecroft's direction of actors, Gillian Wearing encourages the participants to "be themselves." In Confess All on Video. Don't worry, you will be in disguise. Intrigued? Call Gillian (1994), the artist placed an ad in a popular British magazine to attract the participants in her project. The respondents were disguised and then videotaped while recounting their innermost secrets. Referencing religious confessionals, therapy sessions and American talk shows, Wearing's piece blurs the line between personal text and public performance.

Mario Balotelli released a public apology yesterday to Roberto Mancini for being madder than a March Hare hanging out with Playgirl Bunnies.
But the statement had more than a whiff of PR spin about it. The secret meeting between player and manager was a much more honest affair.
Here is the transcript, which was sent to me by a homeless guy from Manchester, who received it last night from Balotelli dressed as the Easter Bunny:
Balotelli: I'm really sorry for what I've done, boss.
Mancini: Get off your knees, Mario. You shouldn't bend down in front of me like that. My secretary is staring. Besides, from this position it looks a convoy of caterpillars are sleeping on your head.
Balotelli: I'm here to apologise for the red card against Arsenal.
Mancini: What about the knee-high, studs-up, almost career-ending challenge on Alex Song?
Balotelli: You saw that? I thought I got away with that one.
Mancini: The whole world saw it, for heaven's sake. It was on TV, radio, in newspapers, everywhere. Where have you been?

American Language & Culture Academy
Trine University associate director of admission Jon Walmer and his daughter, Makenzie, in front hosted Chinese exchange students during Trine's Summer American Language and Culture Academy this month.
Chinese students enjoy American homestay experiences
ANGOLA, Ind. – For Jon and Amy Walmer, hosting Chinese exchange students meant more than they could have imagined for their eight-year-old daughter, Makenzie.
The Walmers, along with 15 other area families, welcomed Chinese high school students for an overnight homestay experience during Trine University's Summer American Language and Culture Academy this month. Families connected with 28 visiting Chinese students on July 15 at Pokagon State Park, where students enjoyed a cookout and pontoon ride on Lake James. At the end of the afternoon host families took Chinese guests to their homes to give them a taste of American culture.
The Walmers thought their visitors – 18-year-old Daisy and 15-year-old Shirley – would get the best taste of American culture at Grandma and Grandpa's Jimmerson Lake home, where Amy's mother, Karen Norris, made pork chops and rice for dinner, and her father, Phil, took the young women fishing.
Upon arrival, Makenzie wanted to show her guests "how to feed the fish." She took some old bread to the end of the pier and threw it in the water, where fish immediately swam to grab a bite. Their Chinese guests were impressed and wanted to learn how to fish. Phil Norris gave them some fishing poles, and they were addicted – hook, line and sinker.
"They caught fish after fish," Jon Walmer said. "They had a blast. We ended up throwing the fish back and taking a pontoon ride around the lake."
After the pontoon ride, they ate their first American home-cooked meal and then headed to the Walmer's home in rural Angola. The girls stayed up until 1 a.m., playing games and making crafts such as felt animals and bracelets with Makenzie.
"It was an unbelievable experience for Makenzie," Jon Walmer said. "It was cool to see her build a relationship, even though there were language barriers. I was surprised at how sad she was when they left."
He added that their guests were also fascinated by their five-month-old son, Jaxon. In China, most families have only one child, so seeing siblings and a baby was a unique experience for the girls.
The family noted the generosity and respect of their Chinese guests. The young women left the guest bedroom and bathroom just as they found it and offered to help. While they were outlet shopping, Daisy and Shirley also insisted on buying Makenzie an outfit.
"And there was no arguing with them," Walmer said. "They were very giving, and I think they felt like they needed to do something since we were hosting them. I was really blown away by their generosity."
After a pancake breakfast, the Walmers bid farewell to their guests. To say they were touched by the experience is an understatement. They did not realize just how much they would receive when they opened their home to guests from another part of the world.
"Makenzie told me that she almost cried when they left," Walmer said. "After we dropped the girls off at the university, my wife immediately went and got the pictures developed for their daughter."

Admissions · Advising · Catalog · Financial Aid · Registrar · Scholarships
Students of any major can participate in the pre-law program.
There is no pre-law major at Tarleton.
The pre-law program consist of classes recommended to help students prepare for the law school admissions test (lsat) and their first year of law school. These courses have been selected after consultation with law school deans and admission directors.
Admissions directors will look favorably on honors classes and honors degrees. So, taking honors classes will help you in this respect. In addition the honors classes will help develop reading and writing skills necessary for a strong lsat performance. We recommend the honors sections of ENGL 112, COMS 101, HIST 201 & 202, and POLS 201 & 202. Take as many of these as you can. Check with the honors program for more information.
Two sections of the lsat test relate to reasoning and reading comprehension skills. For years philosophy courses and majors have helped students develop these important characteristics. We recommend taking PHIL 101 (Introduction to Philosophy) and PHIL 201 (Logic).
Other courses
Other courses that will help you prepare for law school are those that require reading, writing and analysis skills. Specific ones include; accounting, mathematics, literature and debate.
Undergraduate law
The value of undergraduate law courses is controversial. Many students interested in law should take at least one course to expose them to the concepts. Students should also take courses that are a part of their major. However, do not assume an undergraduate law course will be similar to the same class in a law school.
Tarleton Center at Killeen
Students interested in pre-law at the TSU center at Killeen at advised to follow the same curriculum paths as all other students. They are also advised to ask about logic or philosophy classes at Central Texas College.
For more information please contact Dr. Jerry Jones at the TSU-Center Killeen.

People in the media industry have been dreading it for a while, and now it's finally here: "Black Wednesday."
Mass layoffs began today at newspapers owned by The Gannett Co., which includes The Cincinnati Enquirer. As with past layoffs at the paper, details of which staffers were affected are leaking in spurts and fits, but here's what we know so far.
In a memo distributed to employees Thursday, Cincinnati Enquirer Publisher Margaret Buchanan wrote that the newspaper will lay off up to 100 people in the next few days. The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's parent firm, is bracing for about 1,400 layoffs in its newspaper division before July 9. Buchanan's memo is the first indication about how the cutbacks will affect Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper.
Cintas Corp. sets unrealistic production quotas for laundry workers that cause dangerous conditions and it led to the death of one worker in March 2007, according to a motion filed in a lawsuit against the company.
The widow of Eleazar Torres-Gomez, an employee who died when he fell into a dryer at a Cintas facility near Tulsa, Okla., made the allegation in an application filed Tuesday that seeks to amend her lawsuit.
Rich Boehne must be a glutton for punishment.
A former reporter at The Cincinnati Post and The Cincinnati Enquirer, Boehne rose through the ranks at The E.W. Scripps Co., The Post's parent firm and joined its corporate staff in 1988 as the first investor relations manager. Since then, he's held a number of positions in the company.
The Business Courier reported today that many downtown business performed better than expected this holiday season, saying that many didn't perform as well as last year but their revised expectations were met or exceeded. This was attributed to the public's increased support of local businesses.
Two prominent Democratic congress members say a $3 million settlement between Cintas Corp. and federal workplace safety regulators is insufficient because it downgrades the severity of the company's violations and gives it two years to install new safety equipment.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is suffering from a poor economy and continuing financial trouble.
The center announced today that they will be laying off 17 full-time employees, by the end of the year, leaving a staff of 47.
The museum will also no longer be open on Sundays.
Last year, the Freedom Center was caught up in a battle at City Hall when Councilman Chris Monzel attempted to redirect a proposal to give the center $800,000 to pay for speed humps.
At the time this sum was delivered, a $25 million debt remained for the $110 million construction of the center.
The museum has been criticized by state and local officials for requesting public funds after Freedom Center President Ed Rigaud said the center wouldn't ask for additional public money to balance its books, even after projected and actual attendance numbers dropped dramatically.
Attendance at the center peaked in its first full year open in 2005 at just over 200,000. The numbers have been falling ever since.
For Christmas, the Freedom Center might want to ask for financial independence.

Avalon Bed
The Avalon Bed is made from poplar and fir and is covered in a fire-retardant foam. On top of the foam is a removable fabric cover, which can be made in colors different from the one pictured, if you choose. The bed has a tubular stainless steel base, which is only minimally visible, despite the glossy satin finish of the metal, and so it appears to almost be floating above the floor. The mattress is actually sold separately, which is just as well because the green-on-green look is one that would be difficult to pull off in most bedrooms. Price: £2,286 ($4,330).

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Natural Gas Country Notes
Proved recoverable reserves (bcm) |
4 315 |
Production (net bcm, 2005) |
23.6 |
R/P ratio (years) |
>100 |
Venezuela has by far the biggest natural gas industry in South America, possessing two-thirds of regional proved reserves and accounting for 23% of its marketed production in 2005.
In the absence of any reserves data released by the Ministerio de Energía y Minas later than 151 479 bcf (4 289 bcm) at end-2004, the level for end-2005 quoted by Cedigaz and OPEC (4 315 bcm) has been adopted for the present Survey. Other published sources tell much the same story: Oil & Gas Journal and OAPEC 4 287 bcm, World Oil 4 273 and BP 4 320.
Substantial quantities of Venezuela's natural gas (amounting to around 46% of gross output in 2005) are re-injected in order to boost or maintain reservoir pressures, while smaller amounts (8%) are vented or flared; about 7% of production volumes are subject to shrinkage as a result of the extraction of NGLs.
The principal outlets for Venezuelan gas are power stations, petrochemical plants and industrial users, notably the iron and steel and cement industries. Residential use is on a relatively small scale.

Teen Wolf fanfic: You Are the Solution by ferretbaby
"Right. Okay, let me explain this because I think you're confused." Stiles put his hands on his hips and barely resist wagging a finger at the three teammates. "Jackson's my friend. Albeit a very social awkward and somewhat temperamental friend so some days I feel like I'm really just raising the brattiest child in existence but it's cool. It's all cool. There is no blackmail, or threats," Stiles' kind of boggles at that idea, "or anything untoward that's going on. Jackson's virtue is perfectly protected with me around."
Three pairs of eyes blink back at him in confusion.
"So…he's just hanging out with you…?"
"Voluntarily." Stiles rolls his eyes at them. "I'd even go so far as to say he willingly seeks me out just to keep himself from becoming bored and to make fun of my hair or something."
The three teens share another strange look before huddling close to whisper in each other ears like a bunch of 12 year old girls. Finally they seem to make a decision and as one, they turn back to glower down at Stiles.
"You do have funny hair so we'll concede that you might not be up to anything untoward."
"Gee, thanks."
Jackson isn't happy with being the omega of the wolf pack— and I mean that in an actual wolfpack dynamic, he's on the bottom rung of the social ladder, rather than a bdsm-kink kind of way— and out of desperation, turns to Stiles for help.
Technically WIP but it actually feels pretty finished— even if I would love to have more. I just want to cling this fic to my chest and roll around in it. It is just DARLING, and also I laughed until I cried.
Featuring: Stiles & Derek with mom/dad dynamic, Stiles & Jackson BFFdom, Danny being awesome, Stiles/Derek established.

Biology's Ten Worst Love Stories
Animal sex can get pretty weird. And we're not comfortable with some of its variants. I'm sure I'm on someone's watch list after researching this post; while searching for juicy examples, I kept coming across sites barred by the Smithsonian's internet filter—such as the Wikipedia entry on "sexual cannibalism." But scientists find it fascinating. A National Zoo great cats curator recently told my colleague Megan Gambino: "I think animal mating, while it's very funny, is just a really interesting topic to talk about and one that people often shy away from because, oh, it's taboo. But it's pretty vital. It's the very crux of existence."
And so, in honor of today, here's my top ten list of the worst—and weirdest—love stories from the world of biology:
10. Giant pandas: They are solitary creatures, and female pandas ovulate for only two or three days a year, so hooking up might be a bit of a problem in the wild. Even in captivity, panda mating isn't always successful, leading zoo keepers to try everything from behavioral training to panda porn. The National Zoo's current couple, Tian Tian and Mei Xiang, were unsuccessful in their mating attempts yet again this year; zoo curators then artificially inseminated Mei Xiang—which is how we got Tai Shan in 2005.
9. Pseudobiceros hancockanus: These orange-and-purple marine flatworms are hermaphroditic, meaning they can act as either a female or a male. How do they sort it out? Through penis fencing (see here for video). They battle each other with their penises and the winner pierces the other to deliver its sperm. The loser has to spend a lot of its energy and resources caring for the developing eggs.
8. Short-beaked echidnas: These spiky Tasmanian animals hibernate in winter, but that doesn't deter some males from sex. They'll happily mate with hibernating females; sometimes the females wake up, only to go back into hibernation, while others just sleep right through it. Scientists think that by re-entering hibernation, which would delay the development of a fetus, the female gets a chance to mate with a better quality male and abandon her first pregnancy.
7. Porcupines: The weird thing about porcupine sex has nothing to do with the quills. Male North American porcupines that want to mate with a female will first perform an elaborate dance, and then if she's receptive, the female will let him douse her with urine. Ew!
6. Muscovy ducks: Males have a ballistic, corkscrew-shaped penis that they can use to force themselves onto unwilling females. Females, though, can fight back, at least against unwanted pregnancy, by refusing to relax her corkscrew-shaped genital tract. As a result, although a third of matings are forced, only three percent of offspring are born from those matings.
5. Redback spiders: When mating, the male redback spider performs a somersault that places his abdomen right above the female's mouth, thus setting himself up to be eaten when copulation is done. It's a noble sacrifice in the name of his genes—cannibalized males copulate longer and fertilize more eggs than males that survive mating, and females are more likely to reject other males after they've eaten their first mate.
4. Praying mantises: Like the redback spider, the female praying mantis often eats her mate. But she doesn't always wait until they're finished to start her meal. Sometimes the female will bite off the male's head while they are copulating.
3. Bean weevils: The male bean weevil's penis is covered with long, sharp spikes that can inflict serious scarring on a female. To make matters worse (for the female, that is), the longer the spines, the more successful the male is at depositing his sperm and fathering her young.
2. Banana slugs: Like the marine flatworms, banana slugs are hermaphrodites. When they copulate, each slug inserts its penis into the other. When they're done, though, one slug may chew the penis off the other, and sometimes you end up with two penis-less slugs. Scientists call it apophallation.
1. Harpactea sadistica: This spider from Israel performs something called "traumatic insemination," which is also characteristic of several insect species. The male injects sperm into the female by piercing her abdomen with his penis. This can leave an open wound prone to infection. Bedbugs, which also practice this method of copulation, at least provide the female with a spermalege that helps to repair the damage.

Though Oz the Great and Powerful was, anecdotally, met with just as much trepidation as excitement — and even though the critics seemed split on the film, which scored 61/100 on the Tomatometer and 45/100 on Metacritic — it still had a great and powerful opening weekend, earning a little more $80 million at the box office.
Really, though, it's not much of a surprise. There are so many cultural touchstones that find their origins in Oz. I recently read a theory that you can't go a day without coming across an Oz reference. (The day I read that article, I definitely watched a movie where someone said, "Fly, my pretties!")
One of the most enduring, iconic symbols of Oz is the Yellow Brick Road. We know that one end of the road terminates in the Emerald City, but where does the other end go?
As it turns out, it goes to Peekskill.
According to a 2011 article in the Wall Street Journal, Peekskill city historian John Curran believes L. Frank Baum's experiences at the Peekskill Military Academy in 1868 proved inspirational for the writer. "Mr. Curran believes the 12-year-old took a steamboat down the Hudson. When he got to the dock, he asked for directions to the military academy and was told, 'Just follow the yellow brick road.' "
Of course, there is some debate as to which yellow Dutch brick inspired the author. Newsday notes that "a Michigan community also could have a case for being the home of the Yellow Brick Road. According to an April 2012 article in The Holland Sentinel, some say Baum may have noted the brick floor of a lakefront castle while writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
If you're looking for your own path to the Emerald City, you can still see the yellow bricks, "a 50-foot stretch of golden-hued brick on South Water Street behind the Standard House building on Hudson Avenue," says Newsday.
Just don't expect to be enchanted like Dorothy. Currently, there are no plaques, statues, or any other markers commemorating Peekskill's connection to Baum. Curran believes playing up the connection with statues and stage events could be a boon for the city. (After all, did you see that box office figure?)
Others aren't so sure. In the Wall Street Journal, Richard Cerreta, then owner of the Standard House and the adjacent parking lot with the yellow brick, offers this quote: "Every time a new person hears about the yellow brick road, I end up chasing people down the street who come to steal the bricks."
Associate Editor Marisa LaScala joined Westchester magazine in 2003, and ever since she's blown every paycheck at the Greenburgh Multiplex. She also staunchly defends Richard Kelly, doesn't mind spoiling the endings of trashy movies you're curious about but don't want to pay to see, wishes the Hold Steady would come back and rock out Westchester, misses Arrested Development more than anyone can imagine, and still watches cartoons and Saturday Night Live. You can find more of her cultural criticism at www.popmatters.com, where she is a staff writer.

TILL dynamic fare
Online Reservations
Great food! Great theory behind the food! Noisy setting! Turn that music down a couple notches!! Food was fabulous!
Really enjoyed our experience. The food was really good as where the cocktails. Looking forward to returning soon.
Till is one of my favorite restaurants. As a vegan, I am always able to find is variety of meals and they are all wonderful. I highly recommend Till to all who appreciate fresh, wholesome, delicious foods.
It was our first time at this restaurant. We had a great server who never rushed us. Enjoyed the manhattans and relaxed. the food was so good and the desert even better. We can't wait to return.
The food was creative and delicious. Ambience was just right visually; it was a bit too noisy for easy conversation (consider sound absorbers?). Server was knowledgeable and just right--attentive but not intrusive.
We tried Till last night and were blown away. I don't think there is anywhere else you can go in Columbus and experience food like this. Every bite we ate was divine. We will be telling our friends about it -- you HAVE to go. It will get you out of a comfort zone and into the next dimension of flavors and textures.
Went for a business lunch on a weekday with a group of 4. The place only had 2 other couples there - so it was quiet but the service was great and the ambience was rustic and very neat. The menu is diverse and good - two vegetarians and two meat eaters - we were all raving about our dishes - salads, soups and burgers were far superior to a typical lunch at a local chain or even most of the places I've been to in the short north. They even freshly squeeze their own lemonade upon ordering. I see a lot of brunch reviews - but any day for lunch, this place is a must!!
Took a group of 5 for a business dinner, and we had a fantastic time. The food is the main attraction here with a great attention to fresh, organic and all preperations made in-house (menu boasts that they make their buns, and butter) Those that appreciate large wine or beer lists may be disappointed, but the selections available are smart choices by the staff and you will find a selection to enjoy. Everyone raved about their dishes, and we all had different entries including our Vegan team member. It;s a great spot and will return soon.
Anyone who appreciates the freshness and value of biodynamic fare, plus uniquely creative dishes that may be unfamiliar should definitely try Till. In addition to wonderfully delicious and interesting food, Till also offers unique and interesting cocktails. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and dishes. Those who expect large quantities of food at low prices should probably stay away unless they are willing to re-calibrate their sense of value to one that is not based on quantity but on quality and craftsmanship.
We showed up with a party of 12 and kind of overwhelmed them a bit. The food is all made from scratch from the hamburger buns to the butter and everything is made fresh when ordered. Our server did a wonderful job and she made a great margarita as well (fresh squeezed limes). Food tasted wonderful.
We loved the restaurant, and have eaten there before, when it was The Dragonfly. Food is exceptional and I love the ambiance. On this particular evening, we had a seven year old child with us and because the noise level was high, we never worried about having him at our table, though he behaved well at any rate. Our only minor irritation was that another celebration was happening in the gallery and the wait staff was very busy so we sometimes had to intervene for service in a timely manner. I have a feeling it was not a typical evening.
Referred to the restaurant by an OSU Chef, I had high expectations. I was concerned it would be busy and/or overpriced. The food was wonderful, the service was fabulous. I had the fried portabella and vegan macaroni and cheese, my friend had the veggie burger, and we finished with mexican and cappuccino gelato. Everything was wonderful! The mexican gelato tasted like fried ice cream. We also had one of their IPA's and a shrub. If I were to return I would be sure to try more drinks from the bar.
TILL features a very well-thought-out menu, with a well-planned balance between vegetarian and omnivore choices, and between appetizers and main courses. And the execution was just as good: everything fresh and flavorful---local sourcing really does make a difference, but it's clear as well that the the chefs have a light, subtle touch and know just how much seasoning is enough. All six of us were very happy with our meals. The beer selection was also brilliant: some of the choices are unique---e.g. the Leipziger Gose is extremely hard to find, even in Germany, as my German friend in the party, who knows the beers of his country well, assured me—and the one IPA was gratifyingly hop-forward (but very nicely balanced). In a word: terrific!
While Columbus isn't known for its culinary scenes there are a few gems to be found. I was in town on business and so glad I stopped here for dinner. They make everything from scratch, from butter to hamburger buns. I loved the vegetable charcuterie - it's sa creative and fun appetizer and I much preferred this to the meat kind. Teriyaki ocean trout is another entree not to be missed - the glaze is not cloying and the fried rice is excellent, with brussels sprouts, asparagus and tofu tossed in. For a non-alcoholic beverage, I recommend a shrub. I had the rhubarb shrub and it was very refreshing and light, with just enough fruity sweetness. If I'm back in town again, I would definitely come back!
My wife and I went to Till for our wedding anniversary and it was great! The server patiently explained all the menu items to us, since we are relatively unsophisticated. Our foodie friends set us up with a gift card and we love them for it. We will totally go back! Incredible food!
Love the lamb burger, also the greens tasted more "green" than usual salads and such - the care they put into food preparation definitely shows!!
I am a discriminating foodie, celebrity chef of my family and in this case a tourist. Being responsible for selecting the restaurant and making the reservations for such a large group I was a nervous how it would all turn out. Kudos to OpenTable for making the reservations step a breeze. Seeing the restaurant and our table my first impression was very good. The table and staff were ready for us. A great start. The menu was creative with fresh ingredients throughout. The food was prepared spot on and had great fresh flavor. The service was great also great and they spit the tab to meet our need as requested. Overall a great experience!
Our first visit to Till since change over from Dragonfly. We loved everything! New decor is simple and refined. Food was scrumptious...from appetizers to coffee and dessert. Waitstaff as always been excellent and happy to say they are still above par on service. Will return again and again. We always enjoy a chat with Cristin and Magdiale...keep doing what you are doing!
I had such a nice time. Such care and detail to each ingredient. Delightful.
I brought my father and stepmother to the Till last Sunday and they where much pleased and suprised. Which is no easy task.
wanted to make sure that everyon wanted to make sure that everyone knew how awesome this place was excellent excellent staff fantastic food fresh and perfect
Menu was eclectic . Food and service was excellent.
After a few visits, Till has quickly become one of our new favorites! We sat outside on this visit - the patio is small but it's a nice little spot - and we still absolutely enjoyed the food and service. Cocktails are tasty if slightly less than generous and there is a pretty decent wine list. Although everything we've had so far has been very good, I'd say our first visit still takes the cake - the veggie burger, lamb burger and shiitake pie are all just amazing!
The night we visited they were serving a flounder dish with a paprikash sauce, some very smoky eggplant and french fries! The flavor was so deep and rich. The menu is eclectic and there are vegan options. I would love to see some gluten free items for vegans. You must eat here!
Small neighborhood restaurant that has high biodynamic food to table standards. Fresh herbs and tomatoes are grown in a backyard garden. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and drink. The bartender made exceptional cocktails and steered us to a wonderful Italian red wine that complimented the meal beautifully. Our overall experience exceeded our expectations.
the service at till was outstanding. Malbec on tap was Inky and delicious and the pigtail was something I would never try not been recommended but it was outstanding!
My wife and I were the only ones there but I don't think the service would have been better if it had been full. The menu selection was limited but varied and tasted great. The cocktails were great, though they were a bit expensive for the amount of alcohol you got. Think prohibition-style small glasses but today's expensive restaurant prices.
Everything is cooked to order in a restaurant absolutely committed to sustainable agriculture, so service is relaxed to slow. But, it is worth the wait.
I go to Till frequently. I like everything about it . I enjoy the chef's willingness to go outside the box. Saturday the chef had an offal menu Great stuff I also like the fact that the new maitre'd brought a sense of urgency to the service A very good thing My wife and I enjoyed it very much
Our first experience was fantastic. I have high standards when it comes to food, and Till did not disappoint. Two artisan salads, pizza with shiitakes, and cashew crusted tofu were all excellent. The menu has something for everyone, and the owners were wise to expand beyond the veg/vegan options into the biodynamic and farm-fresh world. Our food was on the level of Alana's, a local favorite, and we will be back.
This place was really nice. The food was delicious and they were even able to prepare a plate for me to meet my gluten free needs. It is a bit pretentious and over the top with their emphasis on local/direct from farm to table ingredients. We asked what on earth biodynamic means and we were told "it's one step above organic." We will have that as an inside joke for years to come I think. But the overall experience was a great one
My wife and I went on a Monday night and we were the only ones having dinner. While the food has the potential of being excellent, my burger was definitely not medium-rare - it was well done, which obviously affected flavor. This is a Top 10 in Columbus. I know Mondays are slow but really, why was it not more populated? We enjoyed our server, Paul Miller.
Truly something for every palate-- with great attention to vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc… Loved the "head jam" and bread with potato flower.
Once again I was just gobsmacked over how delicious the food was at Till. I am lucky to live around the corner from one of the best restaurants in the country. I feel qualified to say that as I have sampled this kind of food in many cities and the quality and atmosphere at Till are unbeatable. The service is always attentive and makes you feel like a valued patron. Other places in town should take note. This time our server really stood out with her spot on descriptions of the food, and her lovely personality. The cocktails were outstanding as well. I was one of the vegans at the table. But the meat eaters felt the same about the experience. One said "That is the best meatball I have ever had in my life." Thank you, Till.

Ridhwan al-Sa'ati: A Biographical Outline
By Professor Moustafa Mawaldi*
This article was translated from Arabic by Haya Zedan (FSTC). A thorough revision and copy editing was performed by the editorial board of www.MuslimHeritage.com.
1. Biography
1.1. His name and career
The complete name of our scholar is: Fakhr-ul Dīn Ridhwān bin Muhammad bin Alī bin Rustam bin Hurduz Al-Khurasānī Al-Sā'ātī. This long name is contracted in historical sources to a shorter one: Fakhr al-Dīn Ridhwān b. Muhammad b. Alī b. Rustam Al-Sācātī. He was born and raised in Damascus, where he died. As well as a scholar and scientist, he was an astronomer, a mechanician (especially as a clockmaker, from which he gained his title as-Sā'ātī), a physician, a writer and poet, a musician, a politician and a calligrapher.
1.2. His family
His Father, Muhammad Al-Sā'ātī, is originally from Khurasan. He moved to Damascus and lived there until he died around the year 572 H. He was referred to in historical literature as an engineer. He created the clock on Jīrūn gate (Bāb Jīrūn), famous as the gate of the clocks, located east of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, between the years 1154 and 1174 CE, in the time of al-Malik al-'ādil [the Just King] Nūr Al-Dīn Mahmūd bin Zingī in Damascus (died Shawwal 569 AH/ May 1184 CE). Muhammad Al-Sā'ātī was described by Al-Safadī and Ibn Abī Usaybi'a as unique in his knowledge of clock-making and astronomy.

Fakhr 'l-Dīn's brother, Bahā Al-Dīn Abū Al-Hasan Alī, known also as Ibn Al-Sā'ātī, was born in Damascus and died in Cairo in 604 AH/1207 CE. He was a famous poet, and was spoken of by Ibn Abī Usaybi'a as follows: "He was the best of his time in poetry, and has no equal". His work was published in Beirut in 1938-1939.
Figure 2: Diagram of Ridhwān al-Sā'āti's clock as depicted in the original manuscript of his book 'Ilm al-sā'āt wa 'l-'amal bihā. (Source: J. Shawqī, Al-'ulūm wa 'l-ma'ārif al-handasiyya fī al-hadhāra al-islāmiya, Kuwait, 1995, p. 297).
1.3. His academic development
Ridhwān grew up in a house of knowledge, for he was raised by his father, the renowned creator and engineer. From him he learned astronomy and the science of mechanics- clock-making, and he learned the medical profession from Fakhr 'l-Dīn Muhammad Ibn Abdu-s-Salām Al-Mārdīnī (512-594 AH/ 1118-1198 CE), and from Abū Al-Hajjāj Radī 'l-Dīn Yūsuf Ibn Haydara Ibn Al-Hasan Al-Rahabī (534-631 AH- 1140-1233 CE). Ridhwān remained to learn with Abū Al-Hajjāj for some time, and was apt and intelligent, excelling at what he pursued, diligent in his learning. This was confirmed by Al-Safadī and Ibn Abī Usaybi'a. Ridhwān studied literature under Abū Al-Yamn Tāj al-Dīn Zayd Ibn al-Hasan al-Kindī (520-613 H/1126-1217CE). Ridhwān's upbringing and learning is reflected in his work and scientific achievements.
1.3. The positions he held
Ridhwān worked in the palace of the King Al-Fā'iz Ibrāhim (the nephew of Salāh 'l-Dīn al-Ayūbī) and the son of the Just King Sayf 'l-Dīn Abū Bakr Ahmad. He then served the Great King Sharaf al-Dīn 'īssā, son of the Just King (died 624 AH/1227 CE) in a medical capacity, and held a ministerial role as well, which exemplifies Ridhwān's political knowledge and capabilities, and his aptitude at medicine.
1.4. Date of his death
There are no records of Ridhwān's birth, and sources vary on his exact date of death. Yāqut al-Hamawī in his book Mu'jam al-Udabā' lists Ridhwān's death in the year 618 H. Al-Ziriklī followed suit in his book Al-A'alām, and Ismā'īl al-Baghdādī in Hadiyat Al-'āarifīn and acknowledged Ridhwān's death in the year 620 H. This was also reiterated in Mu'jam Al-Mu'alifīn and with Humaydān in A'lām 'l-hadhāra. Ibn Abī Usaybi'a in his book 'Uyūn Al-'anbā' and al-Safadī in his book Al-Wāfī bi'l-wafayāt declined to state a date for Ridhwān's death, saying only that Ridhwān died in Damascus of jaundice. Other sources have listed dates that are incorrect (627 H /1230-1231 CE), and the reason is that Yāqūt himself defines the date of Ridhwān's death, but Yāqūt died in 626 H / 1229 CE. This confirms that Ridhwān died before Yāqūt, between the years of 618-626 H / 1221-1229 CE.
2. His writings
2.1. Mechanics, clock-making and astronomy
Figure 3: Diagram of Ridhwān's clock from a manuscript copy of his treatise.
Ridhwān finished a book in Muharram 600 H/September-October 1203 CE on the science of clock-making titled: Kitāb 'ilm al-sā'āt wa 'l-'amal bihā (The Science of clocks and working with them), in five chapters. The book is devoted to the description of clock machinery, the working of the device, shapes of its different parts, sizes, and how to work with them. He included illustrations of the machines and how they operate, as well as recommendations for their daily use, and problems that may occur, and how to avoid these to maintain a fully functional machine.
Ridhwān's knowledge of clock-making indicates his knowledge of astronomy as well, and this is because of the strong relation between the two subjects in that time.
Ridhwān's book was published by Muhammad Ahmad Dahmān in Damascus in 1401 H /1981 CE, and was translated by Wiedeman and Hauser into German, a short translation dependant on the manuscript 1348 preserved in Forschungsbibliothek in Gotha in Germany. The treatise is considered to be a move in a new direction for educational texts as far as organization and segmentation [1].
2.2. Medicine
Figure 4: A view from the courtyard of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus where Ridhwān's clock was erected. (Source).
Most of the sources and references point to Ridhwān's medical aptitude, which made him Royal Physician to the two brother kings Al-Fā'iz and Al-Mu'azzam. He was complimented in Al-Safadī's book Al-Wafī by saying: "he was a physician complete and dignified in medicine and literature, and he was fond of the words of Sheikh Ibn Sīnā and fascinated by it."
Ridhwān is the author of the following two medical texts: A completion of the book Colinge by Ibn Sīnā, and Al-Hawāshī (marginalia) based on Al-Qanūn by the same Ibn Sīnā.
2.3. Literature and music
Ibn Abī Usaybi'a described Fakhr 'l-Dīn Al-Sā'ātī as a decent writer who wrote in the best quality. He is the author of a poetry text titled Al-Mukhtār fī 'l-ash'ār in which we read:
فِي صُفْرَةِ اللَّوْنِ يَحْكِــي لَوْنَ مِسْكِينِ
وَرَوْضَــةٍ زَادَ بِالْأُتْرُجِّ بَهْجَتُهَـا
مِنْ فُرْقَةِ الْغُصْنِ أَمْ مِنْ خَوفِ سِكِّينِ؟
عَجِبْتُ مِنْهُ فَمَا أَدْرِي أَ صُفْرَتُهُ
He wrote also:
لِأَنَّـنِـي بَيْنَهُـــــــــــــمُ فَـارِسُ
يَحْسُدُنِي قَوْمِي عَلَـى صَـنْعَتِي
لَنْ يَسْتَوِي الدَّارِسُ وَالنَّاعِسُ
سَهِرْتُ فِــــي لَيْلِي وَاسْتَنْعَسُوا
And further:
مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يَهْوَى وَمَــــــا بَتَحَبَّبُ
حَسْبُ الْمُحِبِّ تَلَذُّذ بِغَرَامِـــهِ
مَنْ كَانَ فِي شَيءٍ سِوَاهَا يَرْغَبُ
رَاحُ الْمَحَبَّةِ لَا تُرِيحُ بِرَوْحِهَا
Furthermore, he was knowledgeable in music and was adept at playing the 'ud (luth). Yāqūt al-Hamawī reported that he attended gatherings with Ridhwān in Damascus where he played more than once.
In conclusion, we may say that Ridhwān b. Muhammad Al-Sā'ātī's scholarly achievements embodied science, art and literature, and he was a distinctive personality that held prestigious positions in his society.

So ive been online looking at all the GTX560Ti reviews and so far they all kick my overclocked 470s ass! So im thinking about ditching my 470 and getting the Twin Frozr 560Ti now and then later when more games come out like Skyrim, Crysis 2, etc then get another for sli. How does that sound. i mean the Twin Frozr is $250 on the egg right now. seems like a worthy upgrade to me. I also want something that runs cooler, quieter, and more efficient.
it does. Hes done like 4 of them on reference and then 3 on non reference and then i looked that one over at hardware canucks
Yeah man. You need that extra 8% average improvement. And after you sell your 470, it will only cost an extra $50 or $60 bucks. That is win all the way. *Sarcasm is fun.
Then that's an impressive overhaul. Gawd my sli 285s are looking old..... Edit: why not wait for 570 price drop?
There is no information about Kepler yet, so it will either not make it this year or is too far off to wait for if you need the upgrade.
28nm will be here by next Christmas. I will guaranty that. Question is, does one want to wait that long?
gtx 500 cooler than gtx470/480 (460 is the xception) read Wizz reviews over the GTX560 and youll see........ gtx560 is great.
I've been looking all over, and my MSI twin frozr II 470's are just about on par with the 560's. They're slightly slower than the 560's, but just not worth the trouble for me for the slight increase in preformance. I'd rather save up and go with the Z67 sandy bridge motherboard/CPU upgrade in a few months instead.
wow i'm really tempted to get one... its only $50usd more than what i got picked out for my upgrades when my tax returns come in... would an Athlon II X4 be a bottleneck? (2.8ghz stock... may OC to 3.4 with a better cooler later)
GTX 500 series still new release, i think "kapler" will be release in the end of 2011, so i see GTX560TI is a good deal but not over GTX470 it will be no big jump, i see two of them in SLI will awesome
