The Library Restaurant - Myrtle Beach
Online Reservations
As always, nothing short of outstanding! Owner Shad continues to shine, operating the finest dining establishment around. Consummate professionals, mouth-watering entrees,diverse selections - a most enjoyable evening.
The cocktails, appetizers & table-side made Caesar salad were outstanding! The main course that are chicken based are typical french chicken dishes and nothing special. The deserts sounded great, but we were too full. The staff and service was unforgettable!!! So prompt to service and polite. Very romantic!
We had a great experience on 4/13/13. Shane was our waiter and he provided outstanding service. The food was great and prepared exactly as we wanted. Bread was prepared on demand which meant it was hot and fresh when it came to the table. Must say this is the first time we have experienced this. A really nice touch. For those who have been hesitant to give The Library a try; I say don`t judge a book by its cover. Go inside. You will be pleasantly surprised.
We celebrated out 37th anniversary here. We were warmly greeted and they us and gave us a table we had hoped for. Shannon (waiter), and the food, were spectacular. The steak Diane prepared tableside I'd recommend to anyone. No rush here. They said to make our selves at ease and enjoy the event. We dropped $300 including tip, and spent every bit of 3 hours. Worth every cent!
We ate at the Library for my birthday dinner last week. The Chef/Owner met us at the door, and was very accommodating when we were running a little late for our reservation. The restaurant itself was very charming. The decor complimented the theme without being too cheesy. There weren't many guests that night so it was very quiet, but this allowed us to feel a bit more special. The food was amazing!! Coming from the Midwest, I was very much looking forward to some fresh seafood, and the Halibut did not disappoint. The Chef even accommodated the teenager in our group who only wanted chicken fingers (an extreme waste since there were so many great items on the menu). Also our server (Shane I think) was outstanding!!
The service was impeccable. The food was outstanding. Meeting the owner who was very gracious was very much appreciated.
Well, what can I say...it was AWESOME!!! The owner Chad and our professional waiter, Danny, just took care of everything. I travel the world and I would come back to the Library anytime. It was the best meal I have had in 2 years!
This place is absolutely the best. We go there every time we get to Myrtle Beach. The atmosphere and the service are unbeatable. Very rarely can you find a place such as this. I highly recommend for couples or special occasions. Outstanding.
Very simple.... Great food, impecable service, a fine dining gem in Myrtle Beach!
We were a party of 5 and had the most enjoyable evening - outstanding service from the staff and especially, our personable waiter, Chris. Everyone thoroughy enjoyed the food.
This is a restaurant to put on your must do list. The food, service, ambiance is simply a perfect way to spend an evening. Owner, Shad Velasco, wants his cliental to spend a relaxing evening enjoying fine dining at your own leisure. Can't wait to return.
rather ordinary looking outside door opened to a delightful fine dining ambience. My daughter and I were treated like royalty from the second we opened the door. Chris, our waiter, almost seemed to read our minds and responded quickly and professionally to every situation. He was an absolute delight. We had two items prepared at tableside which he performed with panache and expertise. The food was excellent. I highly recommend the beef carpaccio, she crab soup, and steak Diane. Iam hoping to convince my family to return to myrtle beach next year and the first restaurant we will be going to is the library. Thank you for a wonderful meal.
I have been having dinner at The Library very time I am in Myrtle Beach for the last eight years and I have yet to have a meal that was less than outstanding. The owner is always gracious and the staff is highly professional. The Library is not just a restaurant, it is an experience.
Loved the whole thing. Waiter was amazing, owner was great, food was excellent. There was not one complaint.
We arrange vacations just so we can have dinner here. Great food and service, specials that always surprise us in variety of offering, quality and taste. Consistency is the key to the success of this restaurant. Don't pass on the carrots, they're not your everyday carrot from childhood. . .
Seriously scrumptious dinner at Myrtle Beach. We were looking for a fine dining experience for our last night's stay in Myrtle Beach and The Library turned out to be the choice we'd hoped it would be. Wait staff is professional, yet friendly. Menu is extensive and had we had another night or two, I had a couple of other choices in mind. Go to the Library. You'll be happy you did!
We have put this one above all others we have experienced. The food was devine and service impecable.
Went to The Library based on recommendations from on line for a special occasion and was definitely the right choice! Shane was our waiter and took great care in providing details on specials as well as the difference between the many options and how things are prepared! They had a appetizer of Beef tips and Shrimp that was outstanding! We finished with their Bananas Flambe which I would also recommend! Don't be in a rush and enjoy the food.
The Library never fails to deliver and certainly never disappoints. Their signature Martini is a must and the wine list is ever changing to keep it fresh. We hadn't been in for 6 months but all the staff remembered us and even our cocktails. The wait staff and discrete and extremely knowledgeable. It really is an absolute pleasure to dine there.
Everything about our dinner at The Library was exceptional. The wine was delicious, the service was beyond phenomenal, the food was the best food either of us has ever tasted.
Our 5th visit and exceptional service as always. Highly recommend the table side steak Diane. Shane is a phenomenal waiter and we are always happy to visit on our yearly trips to Myrtle Beach.
Once again, The Library has proven that superlative service, unparalleled ambiance and culinary ecstasy are a way of life at this restaurant. We have become loyal patrons and have never been disappointed. Our servers, Josh and relative newcomer Glen, were outstanding. Wonderful senses of humor and consummate professionals knowledgeable in the ingredients and preparation of the menu offerings. Josh made several suggestions and perfectly prepared the Strip Au Poivre tableside, while Glen did an admirable job with the Caesar Salad (also tableside). We all raved about our meals and topped things off with Bananas Foster - another tableside delight.The Library is a "must try" for anyone who hasn't already.
The service was top notch. Our server shane did an outstanding job. The food was okay - not terrible - just okay.
The Library was a wonderful dining experience. I would recommend the Library for any special occasion. The service was impeccable. We were warmly greeted by Shad, the owner and chef and despite our early arrival, were immediately seated. The restaurants dining area resembles an elegant estates library and the atmosphere is very romantic. Our waiter, Josh was fantastic and made us feel as if he were our personal butler for the evening. The Library has an eclectic wine selection. The food was well prepared and delicious. I was completely satisfied with all aspects of this establishment. It truly was a wonderful dining experience.
Service excellent, ambience totally comfortable. Staff was warmly attentive, even friendly as though long-time friends. Our fish dish was superb, couldn't be better. Our duck was oddly dry with a slightly chewy texture, so we can't give top marks here. Still, we had an excellent experience overall.
I'm in Myrtle Beach once a year for a week long conference and for over 10 years we've made an annual visit to The Library. Their consistency is remarkable. The Library represents food and service excellence from a bygone era yet is relaxed enough to fit into a beach locale. Highlights include cocktails, wine list, and table side service. Standout entrees include Steak Diane, sweet breads, duck, and multiple seafood options. Of course flambe'd desserts are a must. The Library is by far the best fine dining experience in Myrtle Beach.
We found the meal and service very good. The only thing that puzzled us is that we called to make a reservation, and they said they were booked. We then booked online, with no trouble. When we arrived the restaurant was not full, by any means, and it never got full. It was a little strange. Seems like you would want business? Anyway, book online, if you want to go.
Yes!!! A library. The best restaurant you could ever dine in. Love the place and thanks to a very friendly waiter. Mr. Joshua, you did an excellent job. Thank you very much
The Library never fails. The food is the best and finest we can find anywhere in the area. Chris is an outstanding person who completely made the night. Even though the restaurant is more suited for adults, we never felt out of place with the two kids (5 and 8 yrs) in our party of six. The beef was the most tender I have had anywhere, including all the great steak houses we love. The Bananas Foster was incredible, and start to finish everything was perfect.
our family visits Myrtle Beach every year and this year my wife and I had a "date night" and left the kids at the hotel and ate at The Library...and it was an absolute treasure. We are both from NY, and trust that the food will equal anything you will find at the fine restaurants in NYC and the service is impeccable, the atmosphere warm and yet casually luxurious...this is one place that is not to be missed...unpretentious but elegant, refined but comfortable...and simply a pleasure...a retreat from the "madding crowd" but in the center of it all!!!!
I took my fiancé here to celebrate our engagement. We were warmly greeted at the door. The wine steward stopped at our table to offer his assistance if we had any questions- the wine list is very good and the wines by the glass more than adequate if you don't need a full bottle (or two.) Appetizers include escargot which used fo be a common offering but one can't seem to find anymore- and these were done well sans mushroom caps. Several dishes are prepared or finished tableside (I had the sweetbreads finished off with flaming cognac.) White adaragus was an offering for vegetables and the roasted potatoes were phenomenal. We had the pecan chocolate pie and espresso for a sweet end to a very sweet night. This place ROCKS.
This is the best place to eat in Myrtle Beach. There are no words to describe this place. It is an excellent place for couples celebrating a special occasion. I would recommend to anyone. It is not a place for kids. Just a nice elegant atmosphere.
My husband is a trained gourmet chef and it's very difficult for us to find a restaurant that will live up to his standard of fine dining. The Library exceeds all expectations when it comes to exquisite food, romantic setting and exceptional service.
New to the Myrtle Beach area my wife and myself owed a dinner to a friend who helped make our transition here painless and worry free. I googled elegant dining / MB and this was one of the suggestions. I followed it to Yelp and bingo - this was the place to go to. We booked thru the online reservation system and received a heads up on our dining to to remind us. As to the Library Restaurant - coming from Fairfield County, CT we have been to a few of those "must go to" restaurants. The owner and staff were attentive without being hovering, service was great, food was great, wine was great - they make a wicked martini as well. What else can I say - It was one of the best dining experiences we've had. Do yourself a favor - go there !
Best at the beach, and we mean all the Atlantic coast. One seating a night, steaks aged and trimmed on site, and the perfect Caesar Salad from scratch table side.
One would have to be rich to dine there every evening. it would be a good place to go each evening for a nice quiet meal. I'm sure if you did became a frequent visiter you could request off the menu items. Small, with good staff and great food. For us common folk it is a once a year or so place.
Certainly the best restaurant in Myrtle Beach. We are dining in this restaurant, when we are in Myrtle Beach, for many years. As we spoke with our waiter, who is there for 28 years, memories came back to the time that there was a Rolce Royce parked in front of the restaurant. That was also the time that there was still smoking in the restaurant. Through the years the food has always been superb. Service is professional and friendly. Wine selection is for every budget. As we are from Dutch origin, we appreciate the influence of an European style menu. Great job, we will come back.
A true throwback when staff, chefs, and management took pride in their performance! Have dined in many fine restaurants and it has been many years since I dined in an establishment that excelled in ALL categories. Wonderfully great time. Recommend to anyone for any occasion or if you just want a quiet dinner with someone special, this is the place.
This restaurant never fails to deliver! It has been around since the early 70's. The food is excellent and the service is just a s good. Everyone including the owner, Shad, goes out of their way to make sure you are made to feel like you are a valued guest. The menu covers both fish and steak and both are done very wel. The she crab soup is unbelievable and should not be missed! Table side prepared Caesar Salad is as fun to watch being made as it is to eat. If you live in, or are visiting MB, you will not want to miss this restaurant. It is a hidden gem!
The LIbrary was simply one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. Escargo and Oysters Rockefeller were perfectly done appetizers, but the sweetbreads flambed tableside were one of the best entrees I've ever had. If you're a sweetbread lover you must treat yourself. Joshua (GM) and Chris (Server) were as fantastic as the perfect food. Will definitely be returning in the future. The best fine dining Myrtle Beach has to offer.
This little place was a delight! The service was excellent and the food was even better. The atmosphere is vey quiet with plenty of room between tables. The food was very well prepared. It's in the heart of the beach but you would probably never go in there if you didn't know about it already. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.
Excellent food, service was impeccable. Our meal was $150.00, but it was a value for the quality and we did not leave hungry.
This was our first time at The Library. Our waiter Chris did an awesome job to make us feel welcome. The service was top notch and the food was some of the best that I have ever tasted in Myrtle Beach. The She-crab soup was the very best and I still crave a bowl. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We'll be sure to come back.
This is one of the top spots on the Grand Strand, with outstanding food and service. I would hightly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Please try the nightly specials! All were of excellent quality.
Our first time visit to The Library was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere, service, food was outstanding. What a special way to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary!!!! Thank you for a memorable night.
The best in Myrtle Beach. A little pricey, but worth every penny. A must for all.
We ate at the Library about 18 years ago;it was excellent then and has not changed (now different owner). We had the same Caesar salad made from scratch at our table. The steak Diane was lovely, as was the grouper. It was and still is expensive, some would say overpriced.
My wife and I recently celebrated our 2nd anniversary at The Library. It was wonderful. More wonderful for us (maybe not for them) was the fact that we had the restaurant practically to ourselves which allowed our server to cater to and pamper us above and beyond. The service is above and unlike any other you will find in area restaurants. Makes you feel special. And I could tell this would be the case whether we were the only couple or the dining room was filled. The servers are well versed in serving etiquette.The food was very good with preparation not the ordinary found elsewhere. And it was a very pleasant touch to have the general manager engage us in conversation and make us feel so at home. Truly a delightful and unique experience.
The restaurant was great - service, food, wine, drinks - however - being Thanksgiving Day - was disappointed that a traditional dessert (pumpkin pie, pecan pie) was not offered and the only desserts were extremely expensive. Kind of made the wonderful meal end on a bit of a down side......
Food was outstanding. Service was excellent. Ambience was excellent.

In 1986, Disney was still very much a company in turmoil. Their last animated feature, The Black Cauldron, had been very expensive and had not returned that expense at the box office. New management had taken over, led by Michael Eisner and Frank Wells, and they were not entirely sure that feature animation was part of Disney's future. It was into this environment that The Great Mouse Detective entered.
Directed by a combination of Burny Mattinson, John Musker and Ron Clements, The Great Mouse Detective adapts the Basil of Baker Street books by Eve Titus. Taking off the concept of Sherlock Holmes and applying it to the "underworld" of mice and rats, the story is a fast paced adventure through the streets of London, as Basil, his companion Dawson and a little girl named Olivia search for the girl's missing father.

Not all positions from 960 chess are unique remember, just the starting position. That's part of its appeal of course, for example endgames are still the same.
True, I did forget that for the moment. It's been a long day for me. Its almost time to study the back of my eye lids.
If chess is solved (all positions cataloged) it doesn't seem like 960 would hold out for more than... a month after that?
Opening theory can never be memorised for the 960 version, too many opening positions available. That means for practical purposes the 960 version cannot be solved.
I was just guessing. Obviously many 960 middlegame (and nearly all endgame) positions would fall into the classic chess solved category. I wonder how many unique positions 960 adds relative to the total number classic chess contains.
Or in other words, if a computer calculates and catalogs classic chess's (I'll guess 10^50) legal game positions, does 960 really add a noticeable amount? I'd tend to think that a few extra thousand (million?) wouldn't make much difference.
The number of positions unique to 960 would still be mindblowing, even if it's only an extremely small fraction of the total.
Let's pretend that chess is solved, and the latest version of Rybka plays perfect chess. Surely this would ruin chess, since nobody could ever be beaten simply by always playing the same move that perfect Rybka plays! But wait a minute....why not do this now? The current version of Rybka can already beat all humans, so just memorize all of Rybka's moves and you will be world champion. Good luck in this endeavor!!
The idea of engines being "good" is only valid in an unsolved environment. One engine being "good" and the other engine being "better" can only make sense if the engines don't fully know the result of their decisions. For example, a jet may fly faster than its counterpart in a race, but once either reaches the speed of light, speed becomes irrelevant. Once Chess is solved, how "good" an engine is becomes irrelevant. As of right now though, engines being stronger than people now makes some sad, but could also be thought of as a human achievement. The engines didn't make themselves. Regardless of this though, just because an engine can beat a human doesn't mean anything other than it knows how to play better.
@BrowniI'm also assuming that the technology present at the time chess is solved (assuming it's possible) would be astounding enough that 960 would not stave off a total solution for long. So that it's just a fractional amount is all I was concerned about.
His point (which I made earlier in the thread as well) is that having computers that can beat any human isn't operationally different for us players than a total solution. It may be psychologically different, but that's it.
I don't necessarily think they know how to play better. I think a better way of looking at it is that, they know how to play as well as we do but, their brain is like having many of our brains, but all wired to function as one. I am sure if we could go to the hobby shop and pick up a 1000 brain coordination kit, we could smoke Houdini after we rolled it up tight...
Probably the biggest benefit will be that there will no longer be threads like this one (or the countless others like it). We'll know the answer to the question so it won't need to be asked over and over.
I agree with you on that, but I thought you were saying that there are only a million positions unique to 960 as an upper estimate. I think the number should be much much higher.
Well, we always will want something to talk about, even if it is the only thing...if you don't believe me, refer to some of my off topic posts in this thread for a reference...unless of course you are one of those people who can't think of anything good to talk about yourself nor deal with your critics, so you always want to put down others for thinking out loud when they are tired of being quiet...
Having something to talk about isn't the same thing as having something to say.
Well, if you think about all legal positions, that's an awful lot of variation, and I have to wonder how many positions chess 960 would offer that are unique.
Assuming even that they prune certain move orders when solving classical chess, I don't think chess 960 would offer that many more.
That said, I was probably pretty far off when I said only a few thousand or a million :) But I do think it would add many orders less than classic chess has.
I've already solved chess. But my dog ate the 3x5 card that I wrote the solution down on.
it's fun when people talk about solving chess.
Chess can be solved by immortal monkeys.
the only thing worse than a thread about solving chess... posts about monkeys solving chess.
A thousand monkeys banging on 1,000 typewriters couldn't beat Bobby Fischer.
And they end up the same way.
Yes, and I've discovered a truly marvelous proof for this. Pity it wont fit in this post. Maybe in a few hundred years they'll prove me right.
I dont think anyone should worry about this.

Secular coalition grades presidential candidates
When judged on their ability to relate to the desires of secular Americans, the presidential candidates aren't making the grade, according to a large coalition of secular organizations.
Looking at their positions on everything from faith's place in the presidency to where it fits in education, health care and other American priorities, GOP candidate Mitt Romney got an F, President Barack Obama barely got by, earning a C, and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson came out at the top of the class, receiving a B.
At a time when the Pew Forum determined the religiously unaffiliated are the fastest growing "religious" group in America, with one in five Americans not affiliated with any religion, a candidate scorecard from secularists should matter, says Lauren Anderson Youngblood, spokeswoman for the Secular Coalition for America.
The coalition, which is made up of a collection of atheist, humanist and agnostic organizations, set out to grade the candidates by first identifying the criteria it deemed most important. The coalition then crafted questions to determine where the politicians stack up when it comes to, say, their stances on faith-based initiatives, public prayer and support of the word "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. The group pulled media reports and speech transcripts to find answers and further analyze these politicians' performances on issues that matter to secular voters.
The coalition asked, for example, "What role would religion play in the candidate's decision-making as president of the United States?"
Based on an Obama speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2012, one in which the president said he has "fallen on my knees" and asked God for guidance "in the life of this nation," the group handed down an F. But Romney didn't fare any better -- earning the same grade for saying in his 2007 speech on faith in America that he "will also offer perspectives on how my own faith would inform my presidency, if I were elected."
Marks given for various questions were then added up to determine the candidates' final grades.
Though the goal in doing this was to "help people who vote on secular values" decide who to vote for, the coalition spokeswoman believes the results could be valuable to the candidates, too.
"Political parties need to learn how to reach out to the secular community, and I think tools like the scorecard will help them do that," Youngblood said.
The scorecard faults Obama on his continuation of faith-based initiatives, his support of keeping "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance and his participation in prayer events. Obama earned As for his recognition of America as a secular nation, his appreciation of the separation of church and state, and his support of science in education.
Out of 17 categories, Romney received two As -- for his support of science in education and his willingness to appoint someone secular, which he said he would do in a 2007 interview with NBC's Tim Russert. Romney's more common grade, though, is an F, where the coalition faults him for his use of faith in decision-making, his stance on separation of church and state and his use of religious beliefs to determine public health care policy.
Youngblood told CNN that the coalition did send questionnaires to each campaign, allowing them to answer for themselves, but no one responded -- a result she called "unfortunate."
"Many of them have religion and government intertwined," Youngblood said, "and we are not even on their radar, not even important enough to return our questionnaire."
But one party in particular may soon have to take notice, says John Green, a senior adviser to Pew.
Pointing to 2008 exit polls and findings that 63% of the religiously unaffiliated identify with or lean Democrat, he said that group may be poised to gain a foothold, much as the religious right gained power in the GOP in the 1980s.
For many secularists, agnostics and atheists, a standing and recognized influence can't come soon enough.

(The Lightning Reviews are coming fast and furious -- our next one comes from a game we've been eyeing as a potential Bejeweled-killer, but new things are scary. Fortunately, cjvitek is not afraid of new things and brings us this review of Trism, $4.99 at iTunes)
I am a big Bejeweled fan, and I love similar games. Trism bring that idea to a whole new level.
Instead of having block, or sqaures, or jewels, trism simply has colored triangles. The trick is, however, you can move a row of colored triangle any direction (along a row). You can move a row to try to get three matching colors together - if you don't, the row "snaps back" to the starting position. The rows wrap around, so if a triangle goes off the screen on one side, it reappears on the other side of the screen.

I thought AT&T and the iPhone were living happily ever after? I mean what with Apple making some concessions with the activation process and data plans plus selling a gazillion iPhone 3Gs (more like a million), AT&T should be happy right? Nope!
An AT&T Kiosk at the Moorestown Mall in New Jersey has decidedly gone anti-iPhone 3G. When a customer approached asking about iPhone insurance she was answered with evil laughter and was told by the employees to get a...hide the women and children...Blackberry! (gasp). I guess not AT&T stores don't show a united front. To make matters worse, they gave her anti-iPhone 3G pamphlets using articles from Pocket PC Magazine and Crackberry.com.
You may or may not know, but Crackberry.com is like family to us at TiPb. It's a little more than heartbreaking to see their articles being used against our. most. beautiful. and. fastest. gadget. ever. But hey, family squabbles happen, we get that, but it won't stop us from fighting back!
Read on to see how we'll defend our honor!
As gaming developers grow more familiar with the iPhone platform and learning its capabilities, many are doling out their opinions across the interweb. Compared to the DS and the PSP, an EA developer put the iPhone in terms of power closer to the PSP than the DS. That's nothing new for us at TiPb but now Sega is claiming that the iPhone is more powerful than their last console, the Dreamcast! To remind you: the Dreamcast was home to Soul Caliber, Shenmue, & Virtua Tennis and the console was a competitor of the PS2 and Xbox.
And. the. iPhone. is. more. powerful. than. that.
Thanks to Will for the video!
I got to my local Rogers (corporate owned) store way early, and was immediately nervous upon seeing tons of cars. They were filled with senior citizens -- strange iPhone demographic, I thought. When the doors to the mall opened at 7am, the seniors raced in. Near jog, no joke. I thought I'd end up behind a ton of angry, eager iPhone golden oldies, but a funny thing happened: they raced right on past Rogers. Turns out they jog/power walk/amble about there every morning. Who knew?
One week later, and how are things now? I just got my first bill (wow, that was faster than 3G!). $30/6GB data, $35 Mega My 5, $15 Visual Voice Mail Value Pack, $35 activation fee, plus crazy Canadian taxes. $124. (Plus the initial $299 for the 16GB handset...)
But what else is going on in my home and native land? Read on to find out!

We have plenty more reviews coming, but don't forget you can submit your own in the forums for you chance to win a coupon yourself -- full details here!
BeatMaker is one of the first in a higher league of iphone apps. In short, it is a music creation tool that picks up where the MooCow Music "Band" app leaves off...and improves in leaps and bounds.

Following up our Exchange Activesync for the iPhone 2.0 walkthrough, and some FREE/cheap Hosted Exchange solutions for users without Megacorps, here's an official "welcome!" from biggest Megacorp of them all, Microsoft. More specifically, from the Microsoft Exchange Team Blog:
Yeah, we know that Apple has its own iPhone 3G finder but that one doesn't work during store business hours. Plus this iPhone finder searches the Apple Stores closest to your location via Google Maps and is a little bit cooler than Apple's. Location Based Services are all the rage right?
Hmm. Megan Fox in retro Star Wars chic, hawt she is. But iPhone 3G with latest CGI, rocks it does!
Okay, while I may personally still be waiting for my Battlefront Touch, and accelerometer X-Wing dogfights, Star Wars: the Force Unleashed from THQ brings plenty of lightsaber and force-powered goodness:
A few posts back we got into a few App Store early growing pains/gripes, including that some less-scrupulous -- or more marketing-savvy, depending on your point of view -- developers were prepending spaces and symbols to their App names in order to get them to sort higher in the alphabetical listings. Well according to MacUser (via Ars), seems like Apple called shenanigans on that one and has put an end to the practice.
Visiting the App Store now, I see that Jirbo's titles, as well as quite a few others, still have a space in front of them, but are simply alphabetized by the following letter.
Nicely done. Would that all App Store problems were so easily solved...

Top Down Pictures from my reef
, 10-13-2012 at 09:17 AM (915 Views)
I wanted to share some pictures I snapped with my new Top Down Photo Box that I picked up at Macna this year. Overall the tank is doing nicely. I have zero algae on the rock work, And I only have to clean the glass weekly. I notice coral growth on most of them daily. I am still not running my calcium reactor be cause my calcium and alkalinity are not being used up yet with so few corals in the system. Sit Back and Enjoy
This one seems to be a slow grower
This one is doing great, you can even see it is spreading and encrusting on the other rock
As you can tell from the bottom of this pick, this meteor shower is working
One of the few corals that made the temp storage and transfer to the new tank.
I decided I needed a clam and picked this up right after Macna
This Candy Cane seems to be happy
This coral is making a huge come back after near death in the temp setup
Here is another one that was nearly gone
This guy was butchered by the fragger and is nearly healed up, every day the polyps seam more complete
Well, that is all I got for October. Hopefully I will have some new additions to share next month.

Paula Uruburu
Professor of English
PHD, 1983, SUNY Univ Cntr Stony Brook; BA, 1979, SUNY Univ Cntr Stony BrookBio
Paula Uruburu, an Associate Professor of English and former Chair of the English Department, is currently the Vice Dean of the School for University Studies at Hofstra. She received her Ph.D. from SUNY Stony Brook in English in 1983 with specializations in American literature, modern drama, and film studies. Her research and teaching interests include Poe, the Gothic and the Grotesque, women's studies (especially Emily Dickinson and Flannery O'Connor), art history, the history of photography, and 19th- and 20th-Century American popular culture. The acknowledged expert on Evelyn Nesbit, her new book, American Eve, tells the story of the Gibson Girl's meteoric rise to fame and the tragic consequences of her fated relationships with famed architect Stanford White and his murderer Harry Thaw, whose trial marked the beginning of our country's obsession with celebrity. In American Eve, Dr. Uruburu separates the fact from the fiction, and puts previously widespread, distorted interpretations of Nesbit's life into accurate cultural context. Dr. Uruburu has acted as a consultant to A&E, PBS, the History Channel, and the Smithsonian Channel. Of Basque-Irish descent, she is a native New Yorker who lives in her haunted 1890 house on the South Shore of Long Island and has always liked the fact that her last name is a palindrome.

Beekeeper Hooked Wool Rug
Sheds dust bunnies daily
We've used this rug for a month now and love the colors and softness, BUT in addition to chasing dust bunnies all over the house and on my clothes, I'm also disappointed by the number of loose ends between the color changes.
November 17, 2013
So pretty, so soft
I love, love, love this rug. I know I would enjoy it but it exceeded my expectations. It is so thick and soft under my feet. Colorful but in a subtle way that is not overwhelming. Only wish they had larger sizes. The rug is expensive. I got it when it was on sale and free shipping so it wasn't as hard on the bank. Regardless it is a beautiful rug of the highest quality.

Colorful wool rug
This is a lovely hooked rug. I have received many compliments on it. My only complaint is that there was a hole in one area underneath where it appears to have been cut. Since it doesn't show from the top I have decided to keep it rather than going through the hassle of returning and exchanging it. Other than that, it is great. Good value since I got it on sale!
October 21, 2013
Love it!
I love my new Beekeeper rug!
The colors are wonderful and compliment the dark brown in our new home. Very warm, yet vibrant.
I am thinking of buying another bigger one, but am still debating, as it is on the expensive side. Very happy with my purchase.

beekeeper hook rug runner
beautiful runner; a little too pricey but I am keeping it. It works well in my kitchen with counter stools on top. Beautiful colors go with the other oriental rugs in my kitchen.
June 24, 2013
Love this!
This rug is so cool. Great colors and quality. Was over priced so I had to think hard and wait for a sale. It was worth it. You will not disappointed.

George Owen's flirtation with big-league baseball was a distant memory of a youth well lived on the diamond doing what ballplayers do as a hitter, fielder and, from time to time, a maker of mischief.
That is until the discovery of the rarest of finds: a baseball card -- one of maybe a handful still existing -- of a young Owen posing in his left-handed batting stance as a member of the Ventura (Calif.) Braves in 1952."I think I had age working against me," said Owen, an 86-year-old Massachusetts native and Fort Worth resident, of his decision to abort his baseball career after four seasons in 1953. "I started out when I was 23 and these guys [who made it] were starting out at 18, and if you don't get there fast they kind of forget about you. And that's fine. I enjoyed it."It was a fun time in life."The card produced by Globe Printing Cards is one of the few records of Owen's career as a 6-foot-1, 205-pound right fielder in the Boston-Milwaukee Braves organization.Bill Harp, a close family friend, set about looking for the card as a birthday gift.The search was predictably exhausting, though thanks to the tools of modern-day communication, took only two weeks to track down. Mark Bowers, a private collector in California, had the card."Finding a card like this is like winning the lottery twice," said Harp, an Austin resident who grew up in Arlington, where his parents still reside. "After about 200 emails and about 30 phone calls, I finally had it."The cards were used by the team and players as promotional material. Typically, players were given a set of the team and anywhere between 10 and 50 of their own cards to pass out among the masses as they went about their daily living, Harp said.Harp said he was told that a flood of the Globe's San Jose, Calif., warehouse in the 1950s would have destroyed any leftover stock.The rigors of time took care of all the rest."I think we are only about five or 10 people in the U.S. with one of them," Harp said.The value to the Harp family is in the story it tells about a portion of the life of their close friend, the son of a Harvard Ivy League multi-sports legend who was a U.S. hockey Olympian and Stanley Cup champion. George Owen II was a defensemen on the Boston Bruins' 1929 championship team.Owen II is a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame.He could also play some baseball. In 1923 at Harvard, Owen II hit more home runs than Lou Gehrig of Yale."I probably wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps [as a professional athlete] because he was a world-class athlete," said Owen, who was a classmate of Robert Kennedy at Milton Academy, class of 1944. "It was like being the son of Ted Williams."Despite his joking assertion that the highlight of his career was tossing beer cans out of the window as he and teammates passed manager Xavier Rescigno's car while traveling between cities, Owen had a decent professional career.Owen was a career .276 hitter with 422 hits, including 111 doubles and 50 home runs with seven teams.His best season was in 1951, where with Bluefield (W.Va.) of the Appalachian League he hit 16 home runs with 41 doubles and 95 RBIs in a little more than 100 games.His productivity, Owen joked, was probably the result "of lousy pitching, would be my guess."He was introduced to Texas when he was transferred to the Braves' Wichita Falls minor league team. In time, a trade sent him to Paris in northeast Texas, Laredo and Brownsville.Owen, a Marine at the end of World War II, recalls well the decision to call it quits. When it was time to move on, he did so and with no regrets.He sought a pay raise, but instead of more money baseball executives handed him his release. An inquiry to a semi-pro team in the Houston area went unanswered.The loneliness of solitude as an outfielder was becoming tiresome anyway, he said."The thought occurred to me way, way back that the climax of your life should not be when you are 26 years old," said Owen, a retired CPA who also played in Quebec. "Your climactic moments should come later on. So I got out of baseball."Poet A.E. Housman in To an Athlete Dying Young instructs that athletic glory is fleeting. It became a guide to living for the humble Owen:Smart lad, to slip betimes awayFrom fields where glory does not stayAnd early though the laurel growsIt withers quicker than the rose.Owen remembers as a youngster sitting with his father, then a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates, at a Pawtucket baseball game among all the other scouts, who were all talking about the glory days."It impressed on me that they were all living in the past instead of the present," Owen said. "I didn't want to do that."Like all ballplayers, I was just happy to be paid to play."Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mdavis0624 Competes with the Highest End hotels
I have stayed in many places worldwide and the Le Meridian Bangkok competes with the best of the best. The staff is extremely attentive, even sometimes when you don't need them to be. They remembered us after one day, from the front desk to the breakfast people to the concierge. Speaking of which, we needed to get clothes washed by the pound during our stay but we ran into issues. Natee called around to 4-5 places and finally found one for us. He even picked up our clothes after they were finished. I can not think of any hotel or staff member who would do this. he was so kind about it. Lastly, the breakfast is the best buffet I have ever had. They can cook any eggs you want, you can enjoy noodle soup, fresh fruit, Indian food, yogurt, desserts, and that is just for starters. They also serve Illy coffee which I really enjoy. Simply, you should seriously consider staying here whether you have a family, you are traveling on business, you are on vacation, you name it. Your stay will not be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by twsch Still maintaing its high standards
My second stay this year. After my initial stay which was great, I was worried that my expectations would not be met as it was no longer a "new" experience.
I am glad to say that this stay was every bit as good as my first . Staff are superb, the hotel itself is clean, beds are really comfortable, the rooms are spotless and every request is greeted with a smile. The staff really go out of their way to help. I had requested an early check-in and even though the room was not ready, I was given alternatives in order to change and shower. The concierge had made all the reservations for me and the confirmations were ready when I checked in, and listed on my tv message screen in case I forgot. And the location is great. TOP MARKS; the only place I would stay when visiting Bangkok.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BIgKippa SERVICE made this the BEST hotel I have ever stayed in
I am an avid traveler and have stayed in hotels all over the world, including the best of the best, and the worst of the worst. Places like The Gritti Palace and the Danieli in Venice, which are synonymous with decadence and service...but this hotel's service BLEW ME AWAY! I should mention that not only am I an avid traveler but my expectations are high being a Platinum with SPG, and I am quick to let people know when I am not happy with something. Hard as I could try, I could not complain about my 5 nights here one bit, 5 stars all the way! I didn't try the spa or the pool, so my review is just based on what I experienced, which was amazing!
The hotel itself is clean and modern, updated, stylish and located nicely. It is walking distance from some great shopping, food, nightlife and the skytrain depot for your day excursions. I trekked all around the city and never once thought "I'm staying in the wrong area of town". I am sure there are areas that others might want to stay, but it really depends on what you are looking for, be it shopping, nightlife, or city experience, I think this area had the best of all things and was close enough to the skytrain to be anywhere I wanted within 30 minutes or so.
As far as the Platinum treatment goes I got an upgrade as a Platinum member to a suite, and the room was great! Living and work area, big comfortable bed, TV in each room with plenty of channels, great bathroom with 2 person shower, separate bathtub, and separate room for the toilet. The breakfast buffet was included as a Platinum benefit, buffet was daily from 6am to 10am I think, and there is plenty of great food there for all diets (I'm vegetarian), although their baked breakfast potatoes DO have bacon bits in them and it doesn't say that on the sign, but a quick look inside pointed that out. There was more free bottled water than one person could possibly drink in a day. Trust me, you are going to want all the water you can carry if you are heading out on day trips in Bangkok, it's hot and humid. I've stayed in hotels that only give you 1 bottle of water for free a day per person, I think I counted 10 in my room that were all complimentary AND restocked each day. It included complimentary wi-fi, which worked flawlessly the first 3 days and then suddenly became sporadic, I let the staff know and they were on top of it (I should note that this really only affected me the last 2 days I was there and simply moving from my bedroom to the work area fixed it 99% of the time...not a big deal, and the internet is not setup to cover the bedroom anyway, so no complaints really). Being that I wasn't in Bangkok for work and didn't want to spend much time on the internet I tried to not let it bother me, so I didn't. The ONLY criticism I could offer about the room is that it took me forever to figure out the lighting system! Everything in the room is operated with a switch, which is great, lights, curtains...everything. But, when I first walked in I couldn't see anything and couldn't figure out how to turn on the lights. After trying for 20 minutes or so I finally called down in embarrassment and got the instructions, which started with making sure your keycard is inserted properly, a simple fix. Someone escorting you to the room and showing you, some brief directions/instructions at the desk, or labeled switches could have prevented it. However, walking into a dark room for the first time after a long flight from the states made it frustrating, but once I knew how to work it there were no issues, so a brief, yet easily fixable, inconvenience.
I researched ahead of time extensively, and finally decided on this hotel for my 5 nights in Bangkok to start off my 3 week vacation in Thailand and Cambodia, I was not disappointed. From the moment I stepped through the doors I was treated like I was the most important guest they had, and I'm sure I wasn't....I think this is just the level of service you get from this hotel staff. From the front door to the front desk, to the concierge and the wait staff, to the housekeepers, everyone had one thing on their mind when they saw you..."how can I help you, how can I make your stay more enjoyable?!" A smile on the face and excitement in the voice truly translates in all languages, and little things like a staff member ASKING me if he could join me on the elevator before getting on, who does that?! Of course you can! Get on here buddy!! I just cannot express how wonderful the staff made my experience, the staff above all else TRULY was the highlight.
All and all I have to say that this hotel is about as good as it gets for me. With the rate I got, I wasn't expecting what I actually received, I've paid far more for far less. Adding on top of that the stellar service I received, I have to admit that this is the first 5 stars ACROSS THE BOARD review I have ever given, and they deserve every star. I can't recommend this hotel enough, but I also want it to still be available at the rate I got should I come again...so don't tell everyone!
Thank you so much Le Meridien Bangkok for starting my vacation off right, the other hotels for the rest of my trip have their work cut out for them, you've set the bar VERY high!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Natelyn Very comfortable stay
This is the first time I stay at Le Meridien Bangkok. Was check-in to the specialty room with the round bed. As a regular business traveller, a couple of essential things are truly important. First is the quality of sleep, and that was well delivered by the comfortable bed, although the sound from the AC could be improved. Second is food, and the in-room dining selection was quite extensive. Good when I need to work and still have a nice meal. Very good breakfast served too.
One thing that I do not quite like is the gym. It is very dimmed and not quite suitable for a gym environment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by octal The best of a great bunch of Starwood Bangkok hotels
The most difficult thing about picking a Starwood property in Bangkok is that there are so many great choices, but I think I've settled on Le Meridien as my favorite.
I've stayed in every Starwood in town (except for a few of the new ones, which I'm trying next week). They all have great service, but Le Meridien Bangkok somehow goes beyond. The English spoken here is excellent, well beyond Bangkok hotel standards, and everyone is helpful -- not just the concierge of front desk (where you'd expect it) but cleaners, cooking staff, etc.
Where the hotel really focuses its attention, and excels, is in design. There's a partnership with a local art museum, for free admission, there are interesting art installations throughout the property (not just paintings and photos on the walls, but some amazing sculpture), and even the keycards are art. This is fairly unique focus for a hotel, and one which works well here.
The hotel seems especially popular with Japanese guests (every sign is in both English and Japanese, as well as separate signs in Thai; the cuisine options include great Japanese choices, and I see many Japanese guests).
It is also a very open and welcoming environment for all kinds of people and couples, which as a San Francisco resident I really appreciate.
The most negative thing about the property is the distance from BTS, vs. SGS/WGS (immediately outside), PA/LRM (a block or two), and Aloft/4Pts (near). But taxis are fairly cheap, and a 10 minute walk to BTS isn't going to kill you.
SPG recognition is flawless, and the property also participates in green choice environmental housekeeping reduction, so it's a great choice for SPG guests. As a platinum I love the breakfast every morning (although it pretty much means I skip lunch and sometimes dinner, it's so good and varied), the evening cocktails and snacks, and of course room upgrades (including to suites, when available, unlike some other properties.)
F&B options are somewhat limited, but I'd rather have a few great choices vs. a lot of mediocre ones. So far I've tried Latitude 13 (a great off-lobby spot), Bamboo Chic (bar and lounge), and Latest Recipe (buffet as well as a la carte, and the breakfast option) -- a great combination of French and Japanese and Thai in each.
I'm normally not a spa customer, but this time I used the spa as well -- a great value, and one of the best massages I've had (although I'm not an expert); I'd recommend it.
Overall, there are good things about each of the Starwood properties in Bangkok, but for me, Le Meridien Bangkok is my default choice for most of my nights in the city.

It's been a pretty crazy few days in Raptor land. Steve Nash may be coming home to Canada to lead the Raptors back to the playoffs with the hope of hosting a postseason game for the first time in four years.
There have been all kinds of wild rumours and big time dollar figures being thrown around over the "twittersphere" and beyond. While you may agree or disagree with the players names and dollar figures being tossed around. One thing should be very clear for Raptor fans.
We are lucky to have Bryan Colangeloas our General Manager.
In his time in charge of the Raptors he has been active and creative in trying to build a team that will be competitive. True, his attempts haven't always brought success on the court, but he has shown resiliency and an ability to admit his mistakes, which keeps the Raptors active every year.
In the past he presided over shrewd business decisions like trading highly regarded rookie Charlie Villanueva for TJ Ford, going overseas and bringing in fairly unknown international players like Jorge Garbajosa and Anthony Parker. Those moves won him an Atlantic division title.
He tried to take the next step by trading to acquire Jermaine O'neal, but that didn't work out so he turned him into Shawn Marion and then ultimately Hedo Turkoglu.
Now the Hedo acquisition, at the time, was a stroke of genius. A trade that simply should not have been able to happen. The Raptors acquired the biggest fish in the pond that year. A calculated and complicated transaction that, in the end, didn't pan out.
Hedo was moved quickly (he was likely to be run out of town anyway) for Barbosa who was moved to clear capspace.
And here we are.
Many will look to Colangelo's record and see a whole lot of failures. Jermaine O'neal didn't mesh with Bosh, Turkoglu was an unmitigated disaster. But what I see is a GM trying to improve every year and who continues to take risks. Better yet, none of the risks he has taken has cemented the raptors into Salary cap hell or left the team stuck with an untradeable contract.
He's taken risks, but, unlike other GMs, has been able to get himself out of situations that haven't worked.
Now this offseason has started with a bang.
Colangelo is throwing a lot of money in an attempt to lure Steve Nash back to his homeland and has made a gigantic offer to Landry Fields.
The Steve Nash signing is about building a culture and selling tickets (lets not kid ourselves here). Nash would instantly become the face of Toronto sports. Sorry Jose Bautista and Phil Kessel, but Nash would instantly become the most marketable athlete the city has seen in a long time. That is instant cash for MLSE.
A three-year offer is also safe in many ways. Nash is older but there is every indication his body can continue to withstand the grind of an 82 game season. Three year contracts are shorter terms and become tradeable assets in the final year. If the Nash thing doesn't work out, his contract is a chip to play in that third year.
Nash to Toronto would mean butts in seats. But let us not forget the basketball side of this story. Nash would be a steady hand at the driver's seat for a team filled with young talent. His addition instantly makes Demar DeRozan, Jonas Valanciunas and Bargnani that much better. It takes a lot of pressure off of them as well.
Nash has made a career out of creating superstars. Players that have played with Nash have made names for themselves because they were given the ball in the right places. Shawn Marion, Joe Johnson, Amare Stoudamire, Channing Frye, Jared Dudley, and more have all benefited greatly from playing alongside Nash.
There is every reason he can do the same with Toronto's young, talented lineup.
Nash to Toronto makes sense. Basketball wise and money wise as MLSE stands to make millions on jersey sales and merchandise.
Hence the signing yesterday of Landry Fields.
The New York Knicks are one of the few competitors for Steve Nash (yes LA and Dallas are hanging around too but they aren't really in play). Colangelo, in a brilliant move, effectively eliminated his stiffest competition for the prize he wants.
New York can't use Fields in a sign and trade, they've taken their eye off of Jeremy Lin (their now biggest concern) and likely have no money left for Nash.
A stroke of genius.
Also, assuming the Raptors do not rescind the offer after signing Nash, Landry Fields represents a significant upgrade at the 3 for Toronto. He's tough, can score and plays strong on the defensive end. A trait I'm sure that is not lost on Dwane Casey. He's also likely to improve his game with Nash distributing the ball.
Now this decision could all blow up in the face of Colangelo again. He could lose Nash to Dallas or Nash could sign and be a bust in the mould of a Hedo Turkoglu. Maybe we watch Nash deteriorate in Toronto and he isn't able to take us anywhere.
Something tells me that if given the opportunity, Colangelo will right his wrong, clean up his mess and be able to point the ship back in the right direction. That's what he's always done.
For now we get to enjoy one of the most exciting off seasons the Raptors have had in years. There is a real buzz surrounding the team and in the eyes of most, a real shot at achieving some success.
We have Colangelo to thank for that.

We just had Thanksgiving dinner at Mentone Inn, we enjoyed the meal very much, a lot of food and it was all good.
- Also Known As:

- Mentone Hotel
We just had Thanksgiving dinner at Mentone Inn, we enjoyed the meal very much, a lot of food and it was all good.
After reading several reviews questioning the cleanliness of the Inn, I have to say this is a very old building with lots of rooms and wood, and those of you who have complained about cobwebs and/or dust should think about the age of the building, how old it is, how hard it must be to keep all of it shining...

Our stay this past weekend at the Mentone Inn B&B was fantastic, especially the absolutely delicious Southern breakfasts. We really loved our room with its beadboard walls and ceiling, plenty of hot water, a ceiling fan and very comfortable vintage beds with quilts and quality linens.

The Mentone Inn has been a favorite of ours for years, and since Cynthia took over it has gotten even better.

First of all, let me say I had to put in a date of stay to be able to leave these notes. We DID NOT stay there in November of this year. Had we stayed it would've been leisure, and it would've been with my husband. My husband and I booked a room in the Mentone Inn almost two years... More
The incident in question happened in 2008. A gift certificate was issued by the "then" Innkeeper Gloria, with a one year expiration date. Gloria left the Inn in APRIL 2009 and the New General Manager agreed to honor this certificate for the agreed time line of one year. It expired December 2009. It is now December 2010. The Inn has...

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay with the delightful Ms. Cynthia who was a gracious, yet unobtrusive hostess as well as a fine Southern cook. She was extremely helpful with extensive local knowledge. The Inn has much ambiance and is quite comfortable. It is 100 years old, not the Ritz Carleton, so be clear about what you are wanting.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
COATS - Adam Kempf waited on the brick steps in his front yard Thursday morning until the school bus stopped, as the 12-year-old did every school day.
It was about 6:55 a.m., the sun still not quite risen.
With the stop-arm out and the bus lights flashing, Adam started to cross N.C. 27 to climb on board.
They were the last steps the seventh-grader - a bright, inquisitive kid who loved to read - would ever take.
A 2005 Ford work van coming the other way did not stop for the bus. Adam was hit. He died instantly.
Moments earlier, the Coats-Erwin Middle School student had been joking on the front porch with his mother and sister about how students were supposed to wear a crazy hairstyle to school as part of a drug awareness program.
"Adam's hair was weird anyway," his mother, Sharon Kempf, said through tears later that morning. His sister, who saw what happened, was too shocked to speak.
"I thought the van's tire blew out," Sharon Kempf said. "Then my daughter said, 'Oh my God, Mama, that was Adam.' "
It's not clear why the unlicensed driver of the van, 43-year-old Fernando Ortiz-Soto of the 600 block of Scott Avenue in Sanford, did not stop for the bus. He was carrying three passengers; no one in the van or the bus was injured.
Trooper Greg Steffens of the State Highway Patrol said Ortiz momentarily lost control of the van after hitting Adam and ran slightly off the road before regaining control and pulling over. He has been charged with felony death by motor vehicle and driving without a license, Steffens said. Bail was set at $50,000.
There were 25 students on the bus when Adam was hit. Another bus took them the rest of the way to Coats-Erwin Middle School, where counselors from the Harnett County crisis team were already waiting. Extra counselors came from Triton High School to help.
The parents of all the students on the bus were called; most of the children were later picked up and taken home.
"There were a few children who wanted to stay, and if the parents said it was OK, a few stayed in school," said Patricia Harmon-Lewis, a spokeswoman for Harnett County schools. Counselors will remain at the school through at least early next week and will be available to the bus driver.
"Our transportation director said she was doing pretty well, considering all that's happened," Harmon-Lewis said.
Adam was killed during School Bus Safety Week.
"One of the things the kids know, and they're taught from the very beginning, is do not cross until the stop arm is out," Harmon-Lewis said, "and that's exactly what that child did."
Steffens said drivers need to be more alert.
"We know the hours school buses are on the road," he said. "We need to be very vigilant during that time frame."
The van was not speeding, Steffens said. The limit drops from 55 to 35 mph just beyond the house, which is less than a mile from the Coats town limits.
Adam's family said the speed limit should be lower at their house. In the four years they've lived there, family members have been in three minor wrecks while turning in and out of the driveway.
"We've tried and tried to tell the police this is not the spot to put a 55-mph zone," said Michelle Guzman, Adam's cousin.
"I just want people to know they need to pay attention," Sharon Kempf said. "There's little kids out there trying to catch the school bus. There's nothing that important where you have to be in that much of a hurry."
Adam was the youngest of five. His older brother Geoffrey said the 12-year-old loved to argue.
"Tell him the grass was green, and he'd swear up and down it was blue," he said.
His mother said Adam was a history buff who loved school and wanted to turn their home into a library.
"He said he wanted one copy of every book in the world in every language, and he was going to learn how to read them," she said.
As a steady stream of relatives and friends arrived at the home late Thursday morning, Sharon Kempf sat on her back step and tried to grasp the prospect of life without her youngest son.
"I'm never going to have my baby back," she said. "I'm never going to be able to see him. Never going to be able to tell him I love him face to face, and argue with him that he loves me more."

As the Film Crew Trends Editor, it's my job to periodically slip the cuff on the upper arm of the celebrity corpus and take its trend pressure. Rest assured, the pacesetting behavior of people unnecessarily lauded for their desperate grasps at attention is as robust as ever.
Michael J. Nelson gained prominence playing the lovable character "Mike Nelson" for six seasons on the Emmy-nominated, Peabody Award-winning television show "Mystery Science Theater 3000." Since that time, he has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows, penned a regular column for TV Guide, and authored three best-selling books for HarperCollins. Richard Schickel said it best: "He's more fun than a barrel of Val Kilmers, smarter than a roomful of Patrick Swayzes, and almost as hilarious as Keanu Reeves."
Bill Corbett, a writer for TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000, also played the easily-obsessed gold robot Crow and the effete alien Observer (a.k.a. Brain Guy) during the show's Sci-Fi Channel years. Bill is also a prominent playwright whose work has been produced all over the United States, and internationally. As a stage actor, he's performed at the famed Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, among many other places. He's also the co-creator of the animated series POKER NIGHT on Icebox.com.
Kevin Murphy has worked in just about every aspect of mass media, from grunt-work on Hollywood movies to writing and producing for TV, movies, books and radio. Perhaps best known for portraying the squat, irascible bubbleheaded robot Tom Servo on "Mystery Science Theater", Kevin also wrote and directed on the show over its ten-year run.
Recently, Kevin went to the world's theaters and saw a movie every single day for an entire year. He chronicled the experience in his bestselling book A Year At the Movies: One Man's Filmgoing Odyssey, for which Publishers Weekly proclaimed Kevin "A highbrow man of the people." Currently Kevin can be heard providing film commentary for NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday.

Hi Pinkrose!
I'm having more than 3 pounds of unrefined starches. Is whole-grain oats considered an unrefined starch?
Thank you for your input!

My appetite has been greatly reduced like crazy! I get full really easily now and I don't get hungry until the next meal. I now eat around a third of what I used to eat in the beginning.
I did not expect to lose weight actually, especially when I was eating vast amounts of food. Surprisingly, I did lose weight lol. When my boyfriend's mum and his sister saw me (like a week after adopting Dr McDougall's plan), they urged me to get on the scale because they said I have become thinner.
I'm happier now because I don't have to worry about the bottomless stomach anymore, because I'm easily satisfied with the food I have -- thus saves me some bucks in my wallet.
Thank you people, thank you so much
