There are any of a number of ways an established watchmaker can make its luxury timepieces more alluring to those of us who see the natural connection between watches and cars. He can craft dials out of carbon fiber, straps of rubber with tire-tread patterns, and bezels out of the same ceramics used for racing brakes. He can sponsor motor racing series or forge relationships with celebrated automakers. But every once in a while, a watchmaker comes along who quite simply has octane pumping through his veins. Officine Autodromo is one such watchmaker.... Read More

For centuries the watch has been a luxurious wardrobe staple; a subtle way to showcase your personal style and exquisite taste, all the while combining function with fashion.

Norisea was a beautiful country with huge mountains, huge forest, rolling hills and fertile farm land. It was a peaceful land that hadn't seen war in three generations. The soldiers grew lazy there biggest concern was thieves and beast. The nobles confident and rich, common folk were happy and content. The mage schools bloomed across the land the fear of magic gone. Norisea was headed in a new direction into the next generation; weapons now enchanted with magic could kill a beast in one hit, arrows never missed and wounds healed in hours with little or no causality.
That was 50 years ago……
It happened so quickly, there had been talk of dead bodies rising, and a necromancer scouring the land for artifacts. It was dismissed as myth, tall tales and gossips quickly enough. The king thought nothing of it, the mage schools were the only ones to detect a real threat, and even they blew it off as some fool dabbling in black magic. It wasn't until the first city fell that anyone took notice, it was the dwarven city deep in the mountains. It fell within a matter of hours, dead bodies rising from the ground, skeletons bursting through the iron doors, and wraiths coming from the walls. Thousands died within the first hour, it took only three hours for the most fortified city in the country to fall. This was only the beginning.
It wasn't long before the king raised his armies and the mages prepared there spells, but by then it was too late the necromancer had gotten what he needed from the dwarven city. An amulet of unbelievable power hidden deep within the cities ruins, some would say it came from hell itself. All that died became his slaves, and those that he didn't kill right away. He would consume their willpower and life using the amulet.
It took only a year for the country to fall. The cities and towns now empty ghost towns, the armies all but dust on abandoned battlefields. The only thing left standing was small villages filled with mostly women and children. They fortified themselves the best they could, but even that didn't help them all.
It has been 49 years since the wars ended. The necromancer still reigns over the land, but civilization has begun to rebuild itself under his rule. He is an evil leader sending his undead minions to kidnap people and take whatever he wants from them. The people survive, waiting for a hero.
In a land of swords and sorcery. A lone group of adventures face the odds. An evil necromancer has taken control of the land, turning the majority of the populace into the undead. With vast legions of decaying zombie soldiers and skeleton warriors. He reigns over the land, turning all those that oppose him into the undead. Cites and towns have been reduced to rubble, the armies to ash. All that stands are small villages scattered across the land. Will the band of misfits be able to take down this necromancer or will the necromancer and his undead legions crush the last hope?
1. When fighting other players, no auto hits, god mods, and no bullshit.
2. Please keep things realistic in a sense, you can't dodge every attack and you can't take on an army. Please be logical and realistic about your actions.
3. You must post once per day, if this is a problem that's fine, just let us know. I know we all have a life outside of this. I might even end up breaking this rule. I just want a nice flow, that way people won't get bored.
4. If there are any conflicts or fights, that can't seem to be resolved, I or a gm needs to be notified to solve this issue. No OOC talk in the IC forum when it's up.
5. Please stay in character, even if you know the plot or the twist that are coming up doesn't mean your character does. I don't mind swearing in dialog, but not in actions. Your character is not going to fucking hit someone. So to speak.
6. You can kill each other's characters with the owner's permission.
7. If there is anything you think should be a rule then let me know.
All high fantasy races are acceptable. Custom races need to be run by the GM's. (Snowwhitemochi, Kaimosa and ALoneWarrior.)
Magic exist, but needs to be kept at a minimum or at least have some drawbacks. Necromancer is allowed to be OP on magic, he is the boss. The other four lieutenants are on the same level as the adventures. Necromancer will have a big role in plot progression so please keep this in mind when applying.
If you have trouble feeling things out here are some questions to ask yourself to help
If you have anymore questions just ask
Current players and approved CS. (If you would like to join MSG me all that were in the interest check that said they were interested before this your accepted once you get a CS up and I approve it.)

History Professor Stanislao Pugliese's Book, "Bitter Spring: A Life of Ignazio Silone," Nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Bitter Spring: A Life of Ignazio Silone by Hofstra University Professor of History Stanislao Pugliese has been nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award for the 2009 publishing year in the biography category.
The National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) is a nonprofit organization consisting of more than 600 active book reviewers who are interested in honoring quality writing and communicating with one another about common concerns. The centerpiece of NBCC activities is the annual awards for the best book in six categories: autobiography, biography, criticism, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The 2009 NBCC Award winners will be announced March 11, 2010, at the New School University in New York City.
Dr. Pugliese is professor of modern European history at Hofstra and a Hofstra Cultural Center Fellow. He is also a graduate of Hofstra University. A specialist on the Italian antifascist resistance and Italian Jews, he has authored, edited or translated a dozen books on Italian and Italian-American history. He is a former research fellow at the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America at Columbia University, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and the University of Oxford.
Bitter Spring is a biography of Italian author Ignazio Silone (1900-1978), one of the major figures of 20th-century European literature. A founding member of the Italian Communist Party, Silone took up writing only after being expelled from the PCI and garnered immediate success with his first book, Fontamara, the most influential and widely translated work of antifascism in the 1930s. In World War II, the U.S. Army printed unauthorized versions of it, along with Silone's Bread and Wine, and distributed them throughout Italy during the country's Nazi occupation. During the cold war, he was an outspoken opponent of Soviet oppression and was twice considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Twenty years after his death, Silone was the object of controversy when reports arose indicating that he had been an informant for the Fascist police. Dr. Pugliese's Bitter Spring, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, is considered the most comprehensive work on Silone and the first full-length biography to be published in English.
The NBCC nomination comes just as Dr. Pugliese is about to begin the 2010 spring semester at Harvard University as a Visiting Scholar. At Hofstra Professor Pugliese has directed the Hofstra Cultural Center's Italian-American Lecture Series and has organized several international conferences at Hofstra. His essay "The Books of the Roman Ghetto Under the Nazi Occupation" was presented at Hofstra's 17th Annual Distinguished Faculty Lecture in 1999, and he was awarded Hofstra's Peter E. Herman Literary Award. He is currently editing a volume of essays titled Answering Auschwitz: Primo Levi's Science and Humanism After the Fall, and collaborating on a film documentary on the Jews of Rome under the Nazi occupation.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from about 150 undergraduate and more than 160 graduate offerings in liberal arts and sciences, business; engineering; communication; education, health and human services; and honors studies, as well as a School of Law. The University also provides excellent facilities with state-of-the-art technology, extensive library resources and internship programs that match students' interests and abilities with appropriate companies and organizations. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

In general I haven't objections to this hostel (or rather a village for low-budget tourists). There are a dozen or so small cottages for 3 or more persons. I was afraid of insects but they were not there, with the exception mosquitoes. Adrienne - reception manager - is very nice and helpful for guests. The only one thing I can complain of is access to Internet. I had a lot of problems with the connection, furthermore and it is also quite expensive (for 200 MB of memory I had to pay 30NZ$).

text: Nestled in the broken shade on the east side of the Garden's brick road adjacent to the Meditation Garden, more than 20 different hybrid peony varieties, fernleaf peonies, and two tree peonies can be found. The Peony Garden was originally planted in 1992 as a memorial to the parents of one of the Garden's early supporters, Margaret Tillotson. Frank Lloyd Wright design planters are featured at the entrance to the Peony Garden. Peonies belong to the genus Paeonia, named after the Greek god Paion, physician to the gods and mythological discoverer of the medicinal applications of many herbs. As many as 2,000 years ago, herbaceous peonies were widely cultivated by the Chinese, primarily for its medicinal root. Tree peonies, the national flower of China, were prized by 7th century Chinese as ornamentals, and were called the 'King of Flowers.' Buddhist monks are believed to have brought the tree peony to Japan in the early part of the 8th century. The Japanese extensively hybridized the plants to produce flowers with elegant lines, clearer coloring, and lighter weight. The first tree peonies were brought to Europe in 1786 and to America in 1832. This garden is best viewed from mid-May to mid-June. Highlights are listed and briefly described below. Herbaceous Peonies 'Moon River'- Blooms midseason, double flowers; large deep cream flowers with a pink blush. 'Paul M. Wild' - Blooms midseason, double flower; red velvety petals that do not fade. 'Coral Supreme' - Blooms early in the season, semi-double flowers; salmon-coral blossoms. 'Festiva Supreme' - Blooms midseason, bomb flower; white petals, those in the center are tipped with red. 'Mikado' - Blooms midseason, Japanese flower; dark crimson. 'Dolorodell' - Blooms late in the season, double flower; cameo-pink petals. 'Raspberry Sundae' - Blooms midseason, bomb flower; white petals topped with raspberry red. 'Cheddar Supreme' - Blooms midseason, Japanese flower; large white petals around a golden center. 'Coral Charm' - Blooms early in the season, semi-double flower; coral-peach flower. 'Vesuvian' - Semi-double flower; deep maroon red petals. 'Phillipe Riviore' - Blooms late in the season, double flower; small to medium-sized flowers have glossy red petals. 'Glory Hallelujah' - Blooms late in the season, double flower; the silver-tipped petals are a blend of reds and pinks. 'Fernleaf' - Blooms very early, single flower; red blooms with golden centers. 'Red Charm' - Blooms early in the season, double flower; deep red ruffled petals. 'Norma Volz' - Blooms midseason, double flower; crimson center surrounded by highlighted white petals. 'Paula Fay' - Blooms early in the season; waxy petals are a deep pink. 'Sea Shell' - Blooms midseason, single flower; delicate pink flower. 'Violet Dawson' - Blooms midseason, Japanese flower; white blossom. 'President Taft' - Blooms late in the season, double flower; large pink blooms. Tree Peonies 'Kinkaku' - Ball flower; yellow petals tipped in red. 'Shintenchi' - Semi-double flower; extremely large, ruffled cameo-pink flowers.

text: London, Aug 10 (IANS) Not to be outdone by the likes of sprint king Usain Bolt and swimming legend Michael Phelps, animals in the London Zoo have been busy showing their athletic prowess. During the Olympic fortnight, people in large numbers have been thronging the London Zoo to watch competitors from the animal kingdom race away to sporting glory. "We have animals here that possess athletic abilities and through this event we are trying to tie that ability with the Olympics fever. People have been coming in large numbers and seem to thoroughly enjoy the animal Olympics," zoo keeper Lucy Smith said. The animals competing at the zoo Olympics include lions, otters, penguins and rats. While at the human Olympics winners get a medal for their effort, at the zoo, the victors are left to settle for a tasty treat. -x-x-x-x-x- Games Makers making the Olympics From raking the sand during the Beach Volleyball competition to helping spectators between venues, the London Olympics' unpaid army of 70,000 volunteers "Games Makers" is surely living up to their names in making the mega event successful. Clad in eye-catching red and purple outfits created by famed designer Stella McCartney, they are likely to be remembered second only to medal winners in the UK as the most visible human vestige of the Games. "It has really made me appreciate the value of volunteer work. It is often undervalued, and I want to carry on doing more after the Olympics," said Andrew Butler, a young volunteer who has been providing technical support to synchronized swimming judges in the Olympics aquatics centre. The Games Maker recruitment began in September 2010 after many months of planning. More than 240,000 applications were received and nearly 100,000 people were interviewed before the selection of the 70,000 volunteers. On their jobs much before the games began, the "Games Makers" will have contributed eight million volunteer hours by the time the Olympics end. -x-x-x-x- Royal spectacle at the Olympics The Royal Family has been popping up at Olympic events across London, making the most of an opportunity to bolster their public image while the international spotlight is on the British capital. Equestrian, Cycling, Rowing, Gymnastics, it seemed wherever Britain had a shot at medals, one could count on the cameras finding the Windsors clapping and smiling in the stands. The tabloids here loved it and so did many ticket holders, some of whom spent more time gawking at the Royals than watching competition. Princes William and Harry and William's wife Kate were present in the stands to cheer on their cousin Zara Phillips who went on to win silver with the British Olympic equestrian team. From being in the stands cheering the Brit athletes, to Queen Elizabeth herself donning the role of a Bond girl, the royalty has constantly been the newsmakers at the Games. Queen Elizabeth II has made her acting debut as a Bond girl -- and it was done in one take. The 86-year-old monarch showed her sense of humour when she appeared as herself in a pre-recorded short film for the opening ceremony with James Bond actor Daniel Craig. In the film, Craig arrived at her private study in Buckingham Palace, where she said "Good evening, Mr. Bond" before the pair boarded a helicopter. Moments after the film ended, stunt doubles of the pair parachuted into the Olympic Stadium.

Description Windows 8.1 Pro is the professional edition of the latest Microsoft operating system. This 32-bit version will operate only on a computer with a 32-bit processor and 32-bit drivers. This donation provides one upgrade license for Windows 8.1 Pro. You should request one upgrade license for each computer you are upgrading to Windows 8.1. If you have Windows 8, the Windows 8.1 upgrade is free from the Volume Licensing Service Center. See the Product Use Rights Summary for Desktop Operating Systems for specific licensing details. Benefits for Organizations You can use Windows 8.1 Pro to: Protect computers from viruses and other malware with Windows Defender Support a touch-screen interface when working with individuals who cannot use a traditional mouse and keyboard Restore malfunctioning computers to the base installation with Reset and Refresh functions More easily switch between and access additional display languages in a multilingual environment Upgrade License Only Only certain editions of the Windows operating system qualify for upgrade licenses under TechSoup's Volume Licensing agreements with Microsoft. See the system requirements to make sure your device qualifies. If your device doesn't meet the requirements for an upgrade product, you might be eligible for a full operating system license through Microsoft's Get Genuine Windows Agreement for Small and Medium Organizations program. Major Capabilities Modern interface: You can navigate the new tile-based interface with a touch-enabled computer or a traditional mouse-and-keyboard setup. You can also choose to view a traditional Windows desktop with a Start menu similar to those in previous versions of Windows. Apps: Apps give you quick access to applications like Mail, Calendar, SkyDrive, Photos, People, and services like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. When not in use, apps running in the background suspend automatically, so they don't consume system resources and power. Cloud integration: Your apps, settings, and files saved to the cloud-based Microsoft SkyDrive will automatically become accessible on any Windows 8.1 device after you log in with your Microsoft account. Enhanced security: Windows Defender in Windows 8.1 includes antivirus capabilities to protect computers from viruses, Trojan horses, rootkits, and other malware, in addition to spyware and adware. The software detects threats in real-time and automatically updates malware signatures. Work Folders: You can keep local copies of your work files on your devices and automatically synchronize them with the server without the need for firewall client sync support. Installing Windows 8.1 Unless you are upgrading from Windows 7, this installation requires a "clean install." This means that if the computer has an existing operating system, you must remove all operating system files and applications, install the system, and reinstall the applications. For complete information, see TechSoup's How to Upgrade to Windows 8. Windows 8.1 Pro requires significant system resources, as detailed in the system requirements. It is likely that PCs currently running an operating system older than Windows Vista might not be able to run Windows 8.1. For a good start on evaluating whether to upgrade, see TechSoup's Should You Upgrade to Windows 8? Questions to Consider. Important Volume Licensing Information With Windows 8.1, your organization can choose between two types of volume license keys for product activation: a Key Management Service (KMS) license key or a Multiple Activation Key (MAK). A Key Management Service (KMS) key for Windows 8.1 is available by default on the Microsoft Volume Licensing website; that is, this is the only type of key you will see unless you request a MAK. A KMS key requires at least 25 computers on a network for activation. If your organization has fewer than 25 computers, you should request a MAK from the Volume Licensing website after receiving this product. For information about obtaining a MAK or deciding which type of key to use, see TechSoup's Volume Licensing Service Center — Product Keys page.

Microsoft will send an email welcoming your organization to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).

Great Outdoor Patios in Chicago
Let's embrace the city sun this summer & have some delicious food and drinks at these great patios:
In the heart of Wicker Park, Big Star serves some of the best gourmet tacos we've had. Whether its their perfectly marinated pork belly, or their unforgettable Tacos de Pescado (fish tacos), their menu also boasts $3 whiskey shots & $2 Tecates which seals the deal when hanging out on their spacious patio. Although the main outdoor dining area can get insanely crowded, a solid alternative is ordering at the take out window and eating on one of their picnic tables. 1531 N. Damen Ave.

Yeah. I'd much prefer them to be in the store though.
Anyways, new song/artist announcement! Decibelle makes her debut on Rock Band with the instrumental track "Life" featuring two keys solos! From what I hear, this song will be part of a Homestuck-inspired album and it was written to be an instrumental fighting theme for Jane Crocker. I don't read Homestuck so that probably makes more sense to some of you than it does me. Regardless, the song kicks ass.
Full preview!
Hoping to have at least two more new songs cleared for preview very soon. One is from a returning artist, and one is from a new one. However, both directly have something in common. Maybe I'll be able to announce more on top of that. Keep posted!

I finished uploading all full previews of RBN1 tracks. You can find them here. Starting to upload previews of RBN2 tracks, though I'm going to be playtesting in between doing that so I'll be doing that less often. I just wanted RBN1 out of the way.
Full preview of "Doll in the Dust" by Kurodust, our first RBN2 song, can be found here.
I also got the clear to put up preview videos of those two new songs I mentioned in the above post once I make some tweaks. Expect to see those sometime this weekend, along with hopefully more reveals if I can get them cleared by then.
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
It was my birthday yesterday. But today, you get presents. Time to announce those two new songs I teased earlier!
LeetStreet Boys are back! It's been over two years since they got Expert Mode on Rock Band, and now we're bringing Final Boss from their latest album L3g3nds to the game!
As for the new artist, we're bringing the theme song to the Hanako Games visual novel The Royal Trap to RBN! That song is called Elaborate Deception, and it was composed by Matt Myers of LeetStreet Boys. (That's the link between the two songs I mentioned earlier.) The vocalist is Natasha Cox, who you may recognize as the lead singer of the industrial rock band Mankind is Obsolete.
I've uploaded both songs to Creators so they'll be making their way through the pipeline. Both songs are amazing, so go check them out and let me know what you think! Enjoy, and I hope to reveal more new tracks soon!
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
I really like Elaborate Deception and Final Boss is ok however I prefer Expert Mode. Looking forward to more songs being available.
Both tracks sound amazing. It's a shame I only have a PS3
Elaborate Deception sounds really good!
More Ayreon!

Just a small update:
We are going to pull the unreleased Humanoid and put it back through the system so it gets a proper release. I'll probably find time to do this tomorrow.
Hope to have other more exciting updates soon!
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
So I wrote something. Mostly full of stuff most people know by now, but for whoever doesn't, I hope it clears up why we haven't been getting new tracks lately.
Also, a new song is announced in this post, because holidays and stuff.

Call for memorial to mark Beaminster Tunnel tragedy (From This is The West Country)

Call for memorial to mark Beaminster Tunnel tragedy
6:30pm Friday 19th October 2012 in Somerset
A PERMANENT memorial to the victims of the Beaminster Tunnel tragedy could be included when it is rebuilt.
Rosemary Snell, 67, and her partner Michael Rolfe, 72, died in July when their car was crushed under tonnes of rubble when a landslide caused the tunnel to collapse.
Their bodies were not discovered until nine days after the July 7 collapse when police looking for the missing couple traced their bank records.
Now, engineers at Dorset County Council are examining options for repairing the tunnel and officials have called for a memorial to be included to Ms Snell, of Misterton, and Mr Rolfe, from Fivehead.
Work to repair the tunnel is expected to take six months.
An open meeting was held at Beaminster Public Hall last night (October 18) where people got more information about plans to repair the tunnel.

I had a very nasty experience when I was a college in Hertfordshire in Merry Old Ingerlund. Sadly the young girl (hereafter referred to as the complainant my lud, woke up, saw my head buried between her legs, she screamed out loudly "you disgusting little man. help, help, help." I was flabbergasted at her strange reaction seeing as I had carried her unconscious back to her room from the student bar and told her friends I would stay with her until she felt better.
Sadly the rest like me is history. - May 25, 2012, 11:18:00 PM

Blogal Prosperity
January 11, 2011
by Jeremiah Norris
In December 2010, the Secretary of State released the First Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) It represents the most thorough examination of U. S. international development policies by the Department of State since the Statutory Authority for the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 was passed from the Administrator of USAID to then-Secretary Madeline Albright in the last year of the Clinton Administration.
The QDDR "begins by assessing the world as it is today and the changes we expect in the years ahead." It would have been more fulsome had it found provenance in the 1961 Act and used it as a departure point for a contemporaneous re-alignment of development assistance in the 21stCentury. When originally passed, it was a direct response to a world of emerging post-colonial countries in Africa and the entire sub-continent of Asia. At that time and for decades afterwards, it was absolutely essential to target aid to their public sectors, as their private sectors were minor contributors to national GNP rates.
Today, the most populous of aid recipient countries, e.g., India, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Nigeria and South Africa, expend at least 70% of their national health resources in the private sector. It is above 83% in India and China, two countries that are designated to receive a total of $37 million through the Global Health Initiative (GHI)alone.
The developing world has change greatly since the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. This is no more apparent than in the incoming resource flows from non-governmental sources as against those from U. S. Official Development Assistance (ODA). While ODA has increased dramatically in terms of absolute dollar amounts, it has been dwarfed since 2004 by other sources. In that year, ODA was 20% of the U. S. net economic engagement with the developing world, falling to 14% in 2008, as illustrated in the Table below.

ODA as % of total | 20% | 14% | 12% | 9% | 20% | 14% |
Remittances have been called "the diaspora that fuels development" by Financial Times.They have been shown to bring the poor into the financial services sector, to securitize loans in developing countries at both micro and macro levels, and to contribute to valuable community development programs in developing countries by the World Bank.
The transition from public to private aid is accelerating rapidly in response to the changing architecture of development assistance, one that is distinctly different than the environment which led to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. In one sense, the QDDR recognizes this by proposing "to connect the private and civil sectors to our foreign policy work … [by] streamlining our public-private partnership process."
Yet, it also recommends "to change our management approach by turning to the expertise of other federal agencies where appropriate—before engaging private contractors." While this recommendation is welcomed, U. S. agencies such as HHS, NIH, and CDC generally have their institutional bona fides with counter-part public sector entities in the developing world. Since the vast majority of health expenditures in the largest aid-assisted countries reside in their private sectors, it is difficult to see how GHI "funding can be linked to performance" when those resource flows are combined with so many bilateral and multilateral donors, as well as domestic sources. In 2010, UNAIDS found that national fiscal commitments to AIDS programming was 52% of all funding on a global basis. Their health systems don't revolve around the presence of a USAID dollar.
In a 2010 speech, the USAID Administrator rightly called for future aid allocations to have "scale and impact" attributes. Those aren't as viable in ODA as they would be if combined with non-governmental aid. How to leverage this without it being an ODA agenda with non-governmental monies is the Gordian knot facing the U. S. net economic engagement with the developing world. .
The Secretary of State has made an provocative start towards unraveling this knot with the QDDR; let's not have it end there.

Does anyone have feedback on Vitamix vs.Ninja or other options for "super blenders"? I have to be on a soft diet for a couple months, and a friend leant me his Vitamix - which is an amazing machine, but they are definitely pricey.
I like the fact that the Vitamix can puree virtually anything - it truly makes an amazing tomatoe basil soup.

I have a vitamix and it is awesome! The vitamix can even turn grains into flour which is a great way to make fresh pancakes.

I used to have a vitamix. Compared to a real blender, a real juicer, and a real flour mill I always thought it was useless. It tried to do so many things but did none of them particularly well.
When I got divorced and moved out, it apparently didn't come with me, and I didn't miss it for 10 years, when I had a papier mache project I wanted to do.

I got a Ninja Pulse for Christmas and I love it. I've never used a Vitamix so I don't know how they compare. I love the individual drink cups for mixing smoothies, it pulverizes anything I put in it. I use it almost daily.

Does anyone have insight to the NutriBullet by the Magic Bullet folk? I've heard it described as a poor man's Vitamix, and wonder how it compares. Guess I'll go check the Amazon review.

The question is, what is it you are trying to do with the thing?

I'd be interested in feedback on the nutri-bullet too. I've had it in my Amazon cart for a week reading reviews but after being so let down with the blender I'm wary. I want what the infomercials promise -the ability to toss ina mix of fruits & veg & ice and make a nice quick healthy blended smoothie with quick cleanup.

I bought a Nutribullet and absolutely love it! Quick, easy to use, pulverizes everything into a nice drinkable drink! I don't add ice to mine just cold water,but I will try ice one day to see how that does. I put 2 cups greens in, 2 cups fruit, some ground flax seed and water. Presto! I usually have an egg or bowl of oatmeal to go with it so I can get enough calories. So far so good on the NutriBullet for me! Oh and if you register with Bed Bath & Beyond you can get a coupon for 20% off so it made it cost even less for me! Happy weight loss!

I just couldn't spend that kind of cash on a vitamix or Ninja BUT, last summer I posted a thread and I was between the Ninja Pulse and the Cuisinart CPB-300 SmartPower. I went with the Cuisinart because it came with more cups and was more compact for leaving on the counter. With the BB&B coupon for 20% off I got it for about 53.00 I think. Used daily and pretty harshly with ice etc for about 8 months now and no problems what so ever. I had a bullet and it died after about 4 months and I didn't put quite the "ice beating" on it that I have this one. Good luck!

I have a blender by the brand Oster and I use it almost everyday for ice. No problems and I have had it for almost 3 years. Cost me 60 bucks.

Tavern at Lark Creek
Online Reservations
I enjoyed being under the Redwoods out front. I was concerned that it would be too close to the road, but that wasn't an issue at all. Sitting under the towering redwoods created a great atmosphere. The food was very good, especially the short ribs. It seemed like there were a lot of families with kids outside, but because it was open and the tables were well spaced, it was fine. Very nice evening.
Great outdoor dining, got to love half price wine month. All our food was yummy, especially enjoyed the beet salad! Puppy freindly too!
I booked dinner on Monday night because of the dinner dance package. The food was exceptional and the dance lesson was simple enough for a beginner to follow. My wife and I had a wonderful time and will return for more romantic evenings.
The tavern at Lark Creek is becoming a favorite of ours for better but reasonably priced dining. The menu id varied and mass for a very flexible choice of dining with a good selection of appetizers, salads, first and second courses, and desserts. Our latest meal was a party of eight and every diner remarked on how much they liked their choice. Highly recommended.
We arrived a little early and the folks were very accommodating. The service was attentive and our waitress was more than willing to fill us in on menu items. The wine list had a good selection and was offered at half price during the month of July! That in itself was a very good deal. Our food was well prepared and the presentation was exemplary. Looking forward to dining there again!
I've dined here a half-dozen times and the quality has been consistent. The food and service will not blow you away (hence no 5 star marks). It is merely very good and recommended.
ate out on the patio 6:30 on and quite pleasant - recommend on a warm day in the redwoods
I live close to this restaurant and it never lets me down. Good food with a choice of indoor and outdoor dining as well as a cozy bar area. Service was timely,friendly and on time with our meals. Our online reservation was also perfect thanks.
My husband and i often walk to eat at the tavern. The food is good and service is good. Their just baked bread rolls are really good with butter. There is a full bar and good wine menu. On a warm evening it is lovely to sit outside. I love the half priced wine on all bottles during the month of July
I requested an outdoor patio seating for a 5:30pm reservation. They claimed they did not get my request and further said that Open Table never sends customer requests to them! It seems strange that other Open Table reservations I have made have honored my requests, e.g. a quiet table, no smoking, etc. It was difficult to believe them.
Food is outstanding for this price point level. Wine list is intelligent. But sevice levels have deterioirated since the Lark Creek Inn days.
Except for the high noise level, all six of us enjoyed the relaxed comfortable dining experience. The rainbow trout and halibut were delicious -- soft, moist, and tasty, cooked just right. The one thing which bothered us was the high level of noise. We could barely hear the persons sitting across the table. If the restaurant can control the noise level, it would have been a much better dining experience.
The Tavern at Lark Creek is consistently great. Whether it be the staff or the food, we always leave happy. It really is a neighborhood gem!
I live in the city but spend a lot of time in Marin and had been wanting to try Lark Creek for brunch for awhile. My boyfriend and I finally did this weekend and it definitely did not disappoint! We sat outside on the back deck which was lovely. I had a veggie scramble, he had the eggs Benedict, and we shared a pastry basket. Everything was delicious! And the portions were very generous. We are big brunch goers in the city and Lark Creek Tavern might be our new favorite! My boyfriend said the eggs Benedict was one of the best he's ever had, and that's saying a lot :)
The Tavern at Lark Creek is truly a wonderful dining experience. A place I have wanted to dine at for a very long time. The location and ambiance are amazing. The food is delicious with beautiful presentation. The portions are on the smaller side. Since menu prices are high, this is only a place that can be visited celebrating a special occasion.
Friendly, effficient, warm atmosphere. Varied menu with tempting specials. Located amid a redwood grove in downtown Larkspur. A nice little town in which to walk off a bit of overindulgence. A bit noisy, which makes it a great place for a small dinner party. Reommended for fine food, informal surrondings and friendly service in a great spot.
LC brings a chef driven menu to Newport. Great tasting ceviche and wood grilled steaks. Creative cocktail list as well. Can't wait to return!
Champagne and martini was not cold enough and latte was not hot enough...............food was great! Outdoor dining was a delight!
I first heard of Bradley Ogden when he worked at Campton Place and continued to read about him and his career. Having been on holiday on the Pt. Reyes Peninsula I thought we should celebrate my son's birthday at the Tavern at Lark Creek on the way home to Los Angeles. Everything was excellent! The Blue Cheese Souffle appetizer was divine, light and flavorful. The Eggs Benedict on biscuits, one with ham and the other, salmon, were delicious. My grandaughter ordered French Toast covered with a variety of red fruit.. She thought there were too many pieces but ate all of them. My trout with capers was moist, cooked perfectly Loved the Famosa drink. If we lived in the San Francisco area we would return often to this outstanding restaurant.
As I have heard before, service is up and down,it took us twenty min to get our drinks, we expressed out thoughts to the server, about the service, food was very good
I love the Tavern at Lark Creek, have been there a few times and it always feels relaxed yet attentive to me there. I love the food, and the ambiance is just right. Wish I lived closer, but it's worth the trip.
Great friendly wait person. Beautiful restaurant. Good menu and nice presentation.
Tavern on Lark Creeks has a very appealing ambiance. The Bar area is very vibrant and offers dining too. It you would like a little less activity ask for a corner in either of the other rooms. I started with a lemon drop and the blue cheese souffle which is killer. My husband says he will have three of those time. The salad compliments the small souffle. It is very subtle and flavorful at he same time. I had the evening special a single cut pork chop with a very complimentary spicy,,,,,but not too spicy sauce. It was excellent. My husband had the hamburger and a martini. That's about as good as it gets. The server was very, very helpful and kind. She was being shadowed by a new server who was very, very attentive and pleasant.
When I say it's our favorite standby - after trying new restaurants, it's always a pleasure to dine at the Tavern. We really enjoy it - it's such a relaxing, enjoyable experience. The servers and staff are all so friendly and accommodating. And, of course, the food is consistently fresh and delicious. Thanks to the Lark Creek group.
The souffle appetizer was delicious, rich so perfect to share.The beet salad was not something I would order again, the beets overcooked and flavourless. My steak was phenomenal, cooked perfectly and melt in your mouth flavour. The ginger beer was disappointingly sweet with no spice. My waitress was great and took it back without a hitch. The other disappointment was the Butterscotch pudding, no butterscotch flavour! I let our waitress know and she again was completely understanding brought us the chocolate cake which was delicious, the coffee was outstanding. Amanda gets an A+, the meal a B
Our 7:30 Sat reservations were ready. The place reminds me of the inn in the 1942 film "Holiday Inn". Refreshing, homey feel. We ordered the beet salad and corn chowder to start. It was a cold chowder, which my date didn't expect, but she reported it as good. My salad was delicious. I had the salmon with black rice and my date had the lamb fusilli. Both dishes were absolutely outstanding as was our cream puff-like fruit dessert. The only negative was that the servers didn't seem up to the standard of the rest of the restaurant. We weren't offered after dinner drinks with our dessert and they made us feel somewhat rushed throughout the meal, which is a BIG NO NO for me in an otherwise fine dining establishment.
I've forgotten how good this place is! What a beautiful atmosphere, terrific service from Amanda, and the brunch food we had was terrific. I'll be back!!
Loved sitting outside. Service a bit slow. Food good.
Received very good service until near the end of the meal towards dessert. Waitperson disappeared. Seemed to be serving the bar area in addition to the dining area. Food was excellent as expected.
The Dine & Dance Tango night began with Happy Hour (ask what's included in lowered prices). We 6 dancers had fun learning to Tango like the Stars from an excellent teacher. A generous 3 course dinner: choice of two salads, three main courses, three desserts. Caesar salads featured full leaves of romaine; the spring garden salad came in a huge bowl with just the right amount of dressing. My chicken arrived perfectly moist, covered with a light sauce, surrounded by baby potatoes, baby carrots (not out of a bag), and miniature parsnips. Mixed berry crumble with vanilla ice cream looked amazingly large, but we consumed it all--delicious. Our efficient, professional server, made the evening a pleasant experience.
The Tavern is an exceptional dining experience. This evening I had their awesome burger with blue cheese. My girlfriend had the Prime Rib (which is only available certain nights). She was very excited as that's her favorite. Both meals were exceptionally prepared and extremely delicious. It's a rare treat to go to the Tavern as it's an hour and half away from my house ... and a commute through SF. However, it's very much worth it. I have dreams of one day gathering a big group of friends in their upstairs private room. Oh and we finished of dinner with a great chocolate cake! Oh and I forgot ... the bread they bring to the table is awesome and accompanied with a lovely salted butter. MMMm .... go!
Out of country guest & she was very impressed with the service and the food, it was a big hit. My halibut was cooked to perfection & my friend had the short ribs. Look forward to my next trip.
A GREAT restaurant for a romantic dinner! The bar has beers & wines on tap and makes great cocktails. The menu has seasonal specialties, and the kitchen uses pastured meats at a reasonable price. The polenta ragout was incredible, and the roasted chicken was 5-star. The wild mushroom bisque didn't come how we ordered it but was still good. Dessert was buttermilk chocolate cake w/cocoa nib ice cream, just as delicious as it sounds (beautiful too!). Our waitress was very attentive & friendly and provided smooth service with a smile. Overall, our favorite was the polenta & the least favorite was the chocolate cake. You know it was an amazing dinner when the worst thing you had was a delicious piece of buttermilk chocolate cake... ;)
The Monday night fried chicken special was EXCELLENT. Also notably good: the soup du jour and the fish. Our server Colleen was wonderful: quick, efficient, warm, friendly and unobtrusive. She made a great meal even better!
When I'm willing to travel 45 minutes to have a great dining experience, you know it's good. This is my go to place for whenever I want to feel the cozy, nurturing experience of being surrounded by redwoods and be served with friendly attention and fabulous seasonal food. Besides, it's one place I can count on to understand my gluten intolerance and I have confidence in being taken care of all around. For anyone that enjoys locally grown food and a chef that knows how to harmonize flavors, I suggest giving it a try.
We have been going to Lark Creek for years to celebrate special occasions and we always find it a lovely experience. We especially love the patio dining whether it's for brunch or dinner (with heat lamps). Recently, we celebrated my sister's birthday with brunch on the patio. I had the most amazing mushroom bisque!! It's also a great venue for all ages.
Love the food, ambiance and service at Lark Creek Tavern! I have never been disappointed with a meal and could sit there for hours visiting with friends and family.
My husband and I went there for brunch. The service was a little slow (the place was not busy) at first but got better later. The caesar salad was excellent. Eggs Benedicts dish was good. With the big sky light in the middle, it is a great place for brunch. Very relax and pleasant.
We had a lovely dinner. There were some problems with a new waitperson, but the restaurant was more than gererous in making it right.
We came to Lark Creek especially because Bradley Ogden was making a special appearance. We were not disappointed. The food was outstanding and it was nice to get to chat with Chef Ogden.
Great location, delicious food, warm & accomodating service, a bit noisy (all hard surfaces) but we all enjoyed it and would definitely return. With Open Table reso, seated immediately.
What a wonderful place, friendly, warm and inviting. Service was great and so was the food
Tavern at Larkcreek is a beautiful venue for Dining and drinks. The Chef is definitely in the kitchen. Lovely hostess and great bartender. The bleu cheese soufflé is outstanding. Sincerely, Catherine
The experience was excellent. Nice to have Thanksgiving done for you. Interesting options that kept you pondering on what to get.
The Tavern is a lovely building with tasteful decoration. The food was excellent and the service unobtrusive. The wine list was a little thin and a bit overpriced and, like most restaurants, could be less noisy. All in all, a high recommendation.
Wonderful evening and the food was great. The service was excellent and so fun to be celebrating a birthday with lots of attention. Thank you, The Carbones
The Tavern had a festive feel, all decked out for the holidays. Sea bass crudo, whole butter-roasted Dungeness crab, butterscotch pudding were delicious. it feels like home.
Everything was fabulous from beginning to end. Our server, Tracy, was so accommodating & attentive without being intrusive. The beef bolognese with pappardelle was magnificent. My friend had the buttermilk fried chicken special which was delish. The ambiance was warm & cozy with Christmas trees & lights throughout the dining room. The restaurant itself is in a former house & is just beautiful. I hadn't been here for years & I will definitely make it a favorite!
food was great with one exception-- Sea Bass Crudo was just ok, and way overpriced for what you get. The diver scallops (over forbidden rice, rather than puff pastry) and short ribs were terrific. Our waitress was not very knowledgable, and seemed new and a little awkward.
Just can't say enough about this restaurant. Food was excellent and Collene, our server, was perfect in every detail. Am planning on returning soon.

Pescatore Palace
Online Reservations
My friends and I made a reservation for 130p which was close to the end of the lunch hour so we decided against the lunch buffet as it looked picked over and they were probably not going to replenish. We ordered off the menu and the grilled octopus was delicious. One person ordered the eggplant parmagiana and commented that not many restaurants make it well but this one was very good. The tilapia was melt in your mouth and the penne arriabata was perfect. We were the last to leave but never felt rushed. Only problem was they dont have extensive wine list.
We attended for private dining. When we arrived at 5:45, there was a guide in the parking lot directing us to the rear parking lot. The front lot was full. I have trouble walking, and have always parked in the handicapped spaces in the front. On this date I had to walk the length of the building to reach the dining area. There was one party in the West dining room, and two couples in the East dining room. Those people did not fill the front lot, it must have been filled by those attending group functions. The attendant in the parking lot should have been directing "Event" parking to the West Lot, and Restaurant parking to the front lot. That would be more convenient for all involved.

Uptown Butte has a variety of places to eat at and a delicious selection of fast food, one of the better taco places in town is uptown at the Taco Del Sol on the corner of Granite and Wyoming. They offer shredded beef and chicken along with the traditional ground beef for tacos soft or hard. They have burritos taco salads and more. Horchata is a cinnamon rice milk drink and is delectable and they serve it with or without ice. If you dine here on a sunny day customers may eat outside on the deck instead of inside. Great prices, very tacoish, and delicious.

Employment Discrimination and LGBT Seniors | 11/11/2013 | |||
For lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) seniors, finding, keeping, and advancing in good jobs can be a challenge. LGBT seniors may confront both age-related bias and anti-LGBT bias in the workplace, which can leave them even more vulnerable than those of their counterparts who share, and therefore face discrimination based on, only one of those characteristics. Legal protections against workplace discrimination based on age, sexual orientation, and gender identity have expanded dramatically in many places across the United States, and LGBT seniors can access these legal tools to protect their rights in the workplace. |

Over the last decade, hospitals throughout the United States have recognized that some groups of people face significant barriers to health care because of historic bias and discrimination against them. Many efforts have been launched to identify these groups, learn more about the challenges they face in health care, and welcome them into the nation's hospitals. To reach out to these long overlooked groups, hospitals have examined their policies and practices to ensure that discrimination is clearly prohibited, recommendations for equitable and inclusive care are being followed, and staff are trained to provide knowledgeable, sensitive care. |

15 Ways HIV Criminalization Laws Harm Us All | 09/20/2013 | |||
Lambda Legal is working to repeal or reform HIV criminalization laws throughout the United States. An HIV criminalization law is one that specifically targets and punishes people living with HIV for engaging in conduct that would otherwise be legal if not for the person's HIV status. Most of these laws do not require transmission of HIV and are based on the mere failure to announce one's medical condition to a potential partner prior to engaging in sexual contact. Below we describe 15 ways these laws harm public health, result in unjust prosecutions, and serve primarily to stigmatize and oppress people living with HIV. |
