yana and quire
so you guys want pete to go nuts?
COLOSSUS katya nightcrawler storm magik
"down with the machine" bray wyatt
I'm all for Quire making a fool of himself, but not for any actual relationship.
I suspect Quire would enjoy duelling with another strong personality far more than having a girlfriend, anyway. Heck, Illyana might find some friendly hostility entertaining herself.
FULCRUM: An ongoing fantasy saga by Niels van Eekelen, out on Kindle and Smashwords in all e-book formats!
Does anyone here have a scan of Magik teleporting a limb off Magus in New Mutants 50? As well as Sym tanking a blast by Binary?( I think it happned in the same issue) As a new Magik fan I am tried of other people underrating her power. From i have seen and read she could potentially be one of the most powerful x-men of all time.
There's also the fact that she managed to intimidate Empath as well as she used to. Immunity to psionics aside, it's notable since Empath has single-handedly either held his own against, or manipulated whole teams of heroes. Magik makes the bastard practically wet himself.

- the best there is at what i do -
Well, S'ym tanking Binary's attack has to do with him having the ability to absorb energy at that point. Warlock could do the same thing.
That said, before gaining TO vrus powers S'ym was much stronger than Colossus and could even break Wolverine's adamantium bones. He tanked the best Cannonball, Sunspot, and Magma could throw at him. That little blast Illyana used when she woke up in New Mutants 14 had more punch than Cannonball or Sunspot could muster with their full powers.
Lemme see if I can dig it up. But, yes, Magik is not only crazy powerful, but she's crazy versatile. Between the sorcery, the soulsword, and her teleportation (which can span distances as well as time)...geez, it's almost not fair for everyone else.
EDIT: Found the Magik shot, but not the Binary/Sym one. Aaaand I can't seem to work the stupid add image loader here so... Magik owning here.

Thank you!!! Now maybe my friends will shut up about calling her Nightcrawler with a sword outside Limbo. Her magical powers seem to getting more powerful outside Limbo as well....I loved that iceman scene (pretty hard to make bobby feel pain) and the way she owned Rockslide, Pixie and Mercury.
Nightcrawler also teleported part of Magus away when the X-Men fought him. If you want to differentiate between them show Illyana redirecting bullets or teleporting 6 people to six different locations at once..
Has Mike Carey never written Illyana? This seems utterly wrong to me. Yet I'm looking for a comic to have him sign, and I'm drawing a blank.

Football stakeholders seek progress on agent issue Though the recent debate over agents and student-athletes isn't just about football, the issue affects the sport. Read more »
Interview with NCAA Director of Agent, Gambling and Amateurism Activities: Rachel Newman Baker talks about the issues surrounding agents.
Statement: NCAA Interim President Jim Isch speaks on agents issues
What happens next: The process to review and possibly change the legislation involving student-athletes and agents already has begun.
Overview of NCAA bylaws governing athlete agents: If a student-athlete enters into a prohibited agreement with an agent, the student-athlete is ineligible for intercollegiate competition.
FAQ on Uniform Athlete Agents Act: Information about the UAAA, a model state law that provides a means of regulating the conduct of athlete agents.
List of agents Do's and Don'ts: There are guidelines that agents should follow to comply with NCAA amateurism rules and the Uniform Athlete Agents Act.
Case studies: These are case studies based on actual cases investigated and processed by the NCAA.
As a follow up to the initial August teleconference, representatives from the NCAA staff, its member schools, Collegiate Commissioners Association, NFL, NFL Players Association, American Football Coaches Association, state government and the agent community met this week in Indianapolis to discuss the issue of improper agent activity with student-athletes. This group represents the variety of perspective needed to identify opportunities for greater collaboration on educational and enforcement efforts. The group will meet again later this fall to continue discussions and further look at potential solutions.

Found in Translation: An Interview with the Harvard Senior who Translated Red Sox Closer Koji Uehara's Blog
With the Red Sox winning the World Series, there has been much hype about the players, especially Red Sox closer Koji Uehara. It was hard for Red Sox fans to understand what Uehara was feeling under pressure in the final moments of the World Series, however, since he barely speaks a word of English. That is until Yohei Oka, a senior at Harvard from Tokyo, translated Uehara's Japanese blog into English. We here at Flyby had the opportunity to talk to Oka over email and ask him some questions on Uehara's blog and how he got involved.

Greek Flame Taverna
Online Reservations
The food wsa excellent, service great. So many good things on the menu. We will have to go back to try more.
The menu encompasses something for everyone in the true Greek style. The food is cooked fresh on order and uses the best of the ingredients and spices. Leave room for the homemade deserts. Staff is very personable and so willing to please. I will definitely let others know that the Greek Flame is the best on restaurant row.
Excellent service and food. Presentation of the food, was exceptional. The stuffed grape vine leaves, spinach pie and the pita bread with sauces for starters was heavenly. A great start for feeling you are in Greece. The leg of lamb, the special Maria's Chicken was exceptional. Lots of Greek wines offered. Having a bad day, a great place to unwind and enjoy the day. All the servers helped each other. Amazing to see a great team working together. This will be my home away from home. Fantastic restaurant!!!!!
In a sea of overpriced chain restaurants, Greek Flame is a life raft. Privately-owned, understated, and with excellent food. Our server, Stella, was terrific. She has a background working on cruise ships, and that background shines through. Focused wine list--all Greek--with high quality wines versus the typical Rodidys. We ordered saganaki (flaming cheese) and a meat platter for 2. It was more than enough for our party of 3. The chicken and lamb kabobs were tender, the loin chops and roast lamb were expertly prepared, but the gyros stood out. It melted in your mouth! And the Greek custard dessert was the perfect way to end our meal.
They have the best Saganaki in town. Their lamb chops and Maria's chicken are so delicious .
This was a great place to dine. Food was fantastic, cooked perfect for order. Staff very friendly. You have to try rack of lamb / sea platter & Maria's chicken (chef's special) (yum yum yum !!!!). Diverse selection for desserts. Will be going back very soon...Gina
First impression: the succulent and big cubs of lamb kebob let us without words. Once we find this family little restaurant and enjoyed the delicious meal, Greek Flame became as a bijoux that we will not let it go. For starters, we had the excellent black mussels. As a main course, we had lamb kebab and fresh divers scallops over the mix vegetables. In addition, we were impressed by the presentation of the plates and our grilled vegetables : eggplant, zucchini, green pepper, tomatoes and other were fresh grilled. Everything came in a perfect timing and our sweet waitress never escaped us from her eyes. As a result, me and my wife had a perfect romantic dinner in Greek Flame Taverna Restaurant. It's the best in town!
Great food and wonderful service but door to patio open and smoke came inside. I did not enjoy that part.
Excellent and authentic Greek food. The grilled octopus is as good as I've had in Greece. We travel 60 miles for the food.
Very authentic Greek food. All freshly prepared. Friendly, attentive staff. You can make a meal from the appetizers alone, but don't! The fresh seafood and lamb are fabulous.
Great family run dinner spot for Greek food. The tomato and feta appetizer was delicious. The lamb shank entre was superb. Definitely worth a visit. Like many Florida restaurants, it's tucked in a strip mall, so look carefully and you'll find it.
Went here for the second time, and brought my mom and brother along for Mother's Day. The food and experience was just as good as last time, but we were impressed by the friendly and hard-working staff. Our waitress, Stella, made the experience all the better, giving us top-notch service while juggling a couple of other tables. Greek Flame Taverna is one of my family's, and my, favorites now and you'd be hard pressed to find better value for their prices anywhere in town.
We tried the Greek Flame Taverna on a whim. What a great choice we made. The service and the food were excellent. We would recommend the Greek Flame Taverna to anyone in the Orlando area.
My husband and I go here often, Food is always great and service is reliable and prompt and the wait staff is very friendly.
We dined together with our book club - we had a great meal, and excellent service. The waiter knew the menu well, helped with suggestions and was spot on with his wine picks! We will be back - lamb was excellent!
We had a nice dinner. staff was very attentive. The food was delicious. We startedmwith the Greek flaming cheese. My husband had lamb which was well prepared and flavorful. I had the chicken in white wine special. We finished with traditional desserts. We would highly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.
Food was spectacular! Service was very attentive and we were very pleased with our dining experience.
We enjoyed this restaurant. Fresh, high quality dishes individually prepared. Lots of Greeks and Turks eating there. Always a good sign!
After eating at chain restaurant since we. Arrived in Orlando it was nice to find this little gem. We eat at some good Greek restaurants in London ,and this is as good as any of these. Service and food is top rate
Excellent food & great service Food is fresh, portions are generous & service is top notch... Family run restaurant that cares about quality and the outdoor dining is really enjoyable if the weather cooperates.
If you enjoy traditional Greek cuisine then this is the place for you! It starts with the traditional Greek appetizers followed by an outstanding Greek salad with quality traditional ingredients. For the main course you will not be disappointed in a lamb or fish dish. You then conclude your meal with outstanding home-made desserts. Eating at Greek Flame Taverna brings me back to my childhood where every Sunday my family would enjoy traditional Greek cooking by my grandfather who was born in Athens! Opa!
We had just returned from Greece and were looking for authentic Greek cuisine. The Greek Flame Taverna filled the bill. We started with fried cheese and spreads. Both were delicious. We then had the village salad which was exactly like the salads we had in Greece. We had the lamb tenderloin for a main which was very tender and flavorful. The service was outstanding. Irina, our server, waited until we had our salads to take our main order, thus giving us time to see if we wanted to share one or each get our own, since the appetizers and salad were almost equal to a meal. She was very attentive to our needs and wanted to make sure that everything was all right. Would definitely return to this restaurant.
We ate here and were pleasently surprised at how good the food tasted. Great place to come back to. The decor could improve since it looks a little old.
We were a large group and extremely happy with this restaurant. Excellent food and outstanding service. A nice find and highly recommended.
Authentic Greek! Food & service is consistently excellent. One of our favorite neighborhood gems. Keep up the great service
We have dined at the Greek flame several times and have not been disappointed ever. The service is terrific and the food is really good. It has a nice little area for outdoor dining but inside it is cozier and quieter. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants good Greek food.
Again a wonderful meal. Window front table, attentive staff, good wine. The food quality was top notch. Creamy, pungent Feta cheese, plump, salty Kalamata olives, soft fresh pita bread, drizzled with good olive oil to start. Roasted, wild salmon with Chris's sauce was excellent. Thanks for another great meal.
The restaurant, staff, and food are all amazing. Excellent Greek food with a large selection of Greek wines.
What an amazing place! This was our first time visiting and also our first time dining on Greek cuisine. The menu was like reading a foreign book but, our server Eric was incredibly patient with us and suggested perfect selections from the daunting menu. We started with a dish called mussels santorini which had an amazing red sauce. Our server paired this dish with the perfect dry red greek wine which is now my wife's favorite. The wine list is also all Greek and would have been difficult to navigate if not for the excellent and informed suggestions of our server. For our main course I had the rack of lamb which was tender and seasoned deftly by the chef. Roasted lemon potatoes were fantastic! I will be returning soon to try the desserts.
We have now been to Greek Flame Taverna three times in the last couple months and it has become our new favorite restaurant. The wine list is small but quite diverse with some great greek wines, including retsina if you are so inclined. The food selection, from appetizers to entrees to deserts reflects the greek heritage of the owners/cooks. 4 of us went there last saturday and had some variation on lamb - shank, loin, and rack. Each was seasoned and cooked to perfection - they were wonderful. Service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We love the place!!
We visit the area from the uk 4 times a year. The food and service never disappoint and we always leave feeling we have received good value for our money. This continues to be an excellent alternative to the bigger brands
One of the best meals ever in Orlando. We started with Psito Domata kai Feta, a baked tomato and imported Dodonis feta with chopped olives, garlic, green peppers, olive oil, and Greek herbs. It was an excellent dish with wonderful flavors. Next was Paradosiaki Elliniki Salata, a traditional Greek salad of chopped iceberg and romaine lettuce with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, kalamata olives, Peperoncini and feta, served with a housemade Greek dressing. The freshness of the veggies and crispness of the greens is unmatched. My wife and I then shared a Rack tou Arnisio (Rack of Lamb, Greek Style) with Orzo. This is the best Rack of Lamb we've ever had in Orlando! Try to save room for dessert as the Galaktabouriko should not be missed.
My parents and I had the pleasure of experiencing Greek Flame Taverna last Saturday evening (9-14-2013). The food was great and the service was even better. Our waitress provided prompt, efficient, and courteous service. I ordered the Silogi (Greek Spreads). I was very pleasantly surprised by the tzatziki and the taramosalata. Fantastic! I look forward to my next visit.
Originally heard about Greek Flame from our neighbors, and tried it when we went down to see our grand daughter play volleyball. Although we live in Lake Mary, and Greek Flame is about 35 miles south, we have now made the restaurant a must-eat either before or after each game. The food and service are always first rate, and you can tell the chef and his family really care about making their diners part of that family. Had one of Greek Flame's many specials during our last visit - another fantastic treat!
Every year we come to orlando and eat at this beautiful place We were 8 people and had wonderful time. Thanks Maria, and Chris
This is a step up from other Greek restaurants in Central Florida. They serve all the wonderful dishes you would expect from a Greek restaurant but there menu goes a bit deeper. Perfectly crispy fried smelts, innovative salad preparations with your choice of wonderful grilled meat or seafood and superb sauces and soups. The ambiance is also a step up from most Greek restaurants and the service is thoughtful, informed and unobtrusive. I was a regular when they were in Winter Park and miss having them in my backyard but I still find it worthwhile to make the trip to their current location in the Doc Phillips area pretty often. I travel past at least 6 closer places serving Greek cuisine to get to the Greek Flame.
On a visit to Orlando, we decided to try the Greek Flame Taverna since we prefer local restaurants to big chains. Our waiter was energetic and each dish we ordered was very good. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.
Calamari is a must when dining here. Octopus was also nice. Special of the day was a stuffed eggplant also very nice. All meals were fresh and tasty although I wouldn't bother ordering the Gyros. My pet hate is "processed imitation meat" if you are dining Greek the lamb needs to be real. Cooked over charcoal tender and juicy mmmm.... The Gyros was the type you would get from a food court kebab shop with that cardboard look about it. I would dine here again as the meal overall was pretty good.
The restaurant is cute. Maria knows food, but most of all she incorporates healthy clean eating into her dishes. The food is prepared as if your in Greece eating everything fresh! The service is very good, our waiter Enrique has been fabulous, with recommendations from wine to food.
Original Greek food cooked to perfection. You do not see these entrees in other restaurants which is a testament to the originality. The food is always cooked fresh and served beautifully. Must leave room for the homemade Greek pastries made on site. You will make this restaurant a must return on a weekly basis either for lunch or dinner
I took a group of six there on a Sunday night for a business dinner. The food and the service were outstanding. The server explained the menu, made excellent recommendations and made us feel like we were guests in her home. The food was amazing.
If you are looking for the best quality lamb or fish that is properly prepared and served you will find none better than this restaurant. All dishes are prepared the old fashioned way and remind me of a time when my Greek grandfather would prepare Sunday dinner. The meals are fantastic from the appetizers using the freshest Greek ingredients to the main courses to the homemade desserts! You will also find an extensive Greek wine list with many affordable choices. The servers are most knowledgeable and attentive and the owners are the chefs! This restaurant is one of my favorite in Orlando and I return there every chance I get.
Nice meal at an off the main drag place...we will go back
We enjoyed it a lot. Good variety of authentic Greek food. Well prepared. Nice environment. Good value.
Homemade and delicious. Family owned and voted best Greek Food last 8 years. Anything with shrimp is fabulous. Spinach rolls especially good.
My wife and I enjoyed eating at Greek Flame Taverna with another couple. The fried calamari was a bit too greasy but my lamb kabobs were delicious. My wife liked her chicken dish and our friends had good reviews for the chicken kabobs and lamb shank. The waitress was helpful in selecting the right wine pairing and she checked on our table frequently, The prices were a little on the high side but overall we had a terrific experience.
We enjoyed our entire dinner experience and we wish could come back often, but we live in the greater Los Angeles area. The restaurant provided outstanding flavors, service, and the special homemade touches. Gyro was the best we have ever tasted and it simply melted in your mouth.
Every time I go to Orlando (from Washington, DC (now quite fit for foodies) I bring friends and co-workers to Greek Flame.The food is fresh, delicious, traditional, well spiced, healthy, and presented well. It's a perfect location when working near the Convention Center, but worth the ride if elsewhere in Orlando. Family-owned restaurants can create a warm environment and this one certainly does. This week's special treat was the enthusiastic and professional Stella waiting on us. Try it! And we will be back next trip, for sure!
The food here is usually good, and authentic. I had one of the chef specials and the flavor combinations were great! The only slight disappointment was our village salad. We always order this to start, but this one was not up to par. The veggies were cut into small slices rather than nice chunks; green peppers and red onions were almost non-existent; and the fabulous Dodonis feta slice was half of what it normally is. Hopefully this was due to a shortage of ingredients and not cost cutting measures. Our server was excellent.
This is the second time I have taken a group here for dinner when I was in town for business. The place is a little unassuming, but don't let that fool you. The food and service is top notch. You will not be disappointed. Ask for Stella.

Plus Follow-up From Barefoot Ken Bob's Running Workshop
Our culture has made a mess of running. You'd think a simple, pleasurable physical activity wouldn't produce widespread problems, but we've butchered running to the point of near death with it having some of the highest injury statistics of all physical activities. Fortunately, there's a revolution sweeping the running community that is changing people's perspectives about running – and it all revolves around the idea of going barefoot. The coolest part is that anyone can start re-learning how to run immediately, and you won't even need to buy expensive, high-tech shoes. Before we get to the tutorial, here's some background information to whet your appetite.
A couple weeks ago, Barefoot Ken Bob Saxton (interview with him here) visited Cambridge, MA to teach a barefoot running workshop. It was raining for the 2 hour presentation and Q+A, but that didn't stop dozens of runners from coming out to learn from one of the worlds best barefoot running experts. I've never seen so many people barefoot in my life (except at the beach)! So much was shared during that time, and I wanted to forward on some of the most valuable advice I gleaned from the experience.

I have an agp edition as well. The pci one wins hands down tho. It'll run in just about any system. check this out http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16658
My current card: Club3D AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB. For the price, I have a card that can overclock 50% over its stock clock, while not overheating, and being very(relatively ofc) cheap. Never had so much value for my money before EDIT: It's this card: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-7950.html You dont have it in your database, and I believe HIS uses the exact same cooler/board design for one of its cheaper models.
Geforce 6600 with 256 mb of RAM, despite being slow compared to a 6600 GT it ran Medieval 2 fairly well w/out lighting turned up. BFG Geforce 8800 GTS 512 and it served me very well, until BF 3. I miss this brand. It was a great card even for Bad Company 2; great buy for $230. Sold it to a friend for $40 when I upgraded to an ASUS EAH6850. The 6850 is not a bad card by any means but could be better, when it comes to BF 3.
Manufacture = Evga, MSI, Gigabyte Card = First GPU i had in my first system that made me realize what ive been missing. A X1950XTX GTX260 and my current GTX680 watercooled. Best upgrade ive done to a system in the last few years.
Voodoo Banshee- first gaming card I ever had ASUS EAH4870 DK TOP- my first high end card (awesome card!)- not in your database btw
Palit GTX 560 Ti Twin Light Turbo 1GB The card runs cool, has soft red lights, and easily plays games at 1920 x 1200. It even has a VGA port so you don't need an adapter for older monitors and the 1 GB means it's 32-bit OS friendly. So yeah... great card that does just about everything and easily goes with just about any system.
I'm rather fond of my current 5870. The fan died in it so I ziptied an 80mm case fan to it instead and it runs about the same (this happened recently). Even though I destroyed one of the fan header pins on the board when I removed the plastic housing (I was going to simply force the 3 pin case fan header on the corresponding pins in the smaller 4 pin fan header), I wound up plugging the fan into a header on my motherboard anyway and it still runs fine.
For the ATi/AMD camp i go with the, Company = HIS Card = 4870X2 Had two of these in quadfire and would still give modern cards a run for there money. (6950's beat down) For the Nvidia camp i go with the, Company = Gainward Card = GTX 650 Ti GS For the cost, power consumption, heat output and performance its just truly an awesome card. Both Reference cards
The Zotac 8800GT AMP duo still hold a nostalgic place for me... I still have a Diamond 5850 that is the most screaming single card I have ever owned.
BFG 8800 GT's... had two of them in SLi on an amd x2 4200 system... was so damn fast! I still have one of the cards, and use it for testing stuff/flashing bioses on cards. BFG Tech BFGE88512GTOCE GeForce 8800 GT Video Card...
I was quite fond on my xfx 9800gt 512mb green edition. I had other gpu's before it, but it was my first actual experience having a gpu. My saphire 7970 OC (non boost) dual x cooling is the best gpu I have ever had. I have not had a card that overclocks like this one before and it is a crunching powerhouse.
I would have to say that my first card was my favorite. The ATI 9600 XT I was able to play DOOM3, Quake 4 and other games with a PC!!!
I was happier with PC's before the need for these stupid devices and look forward to the day when they disappear... but anyways my current is my favorite and hopefully it will outlive the need for another. AMD: Sapphire HD6950 (it unlocked for extra value) SKU: Reference

by Susan Piazza and A. Celeste Shelton-Harris
In October 2012, Dr. Celeste Harris, Principal at Portage Northern Middle School; Dr. Nancy Jaskiw, Educational Psychologist at Portage Northern Middle School; and, Dr. Susan Piazza, Associate Professor of Literacy Studies at Western Michigan University kicked-off the beginning of a new regional reading council on behalf of the International Reading Association/Michigan Reading Association. Special guest speaker, Dr. Patricia A. Edwards, Distinguished Professor of Language and Literacy at Michigan State University gave the keynote address and talked about the importance of service to education, specifically literacy.
Dr. Edwards shared stories of her many years of service from the time she taught a Saturday reading school in her backyard to the time she served as the 2010-2011 President of the International Reading Association (IRA). Dr. Edwards was elected into the Reading Hall of Fame for her lifelong efforts to improve literacy, particularly in regards to the role of families and parent involvement. She was the first African American President of the Literacy Research Association (formerly National Reading Conference), which is the largest literacy research organization. She is known for her exemplary teaching, as she is able to connect research to practical ideas for classroom teachers. Dr. Edwards' three most recent books were a hit with the audience and she was available for signing after the presentation.
Michigan Reading Association board members, Celeste Harris and Susan Piazza, solicited nominations for leadership positions in the new regional reading council. Approximately forty people turned out for the event at WMU's Fetzer Center and there were plenty of nominations for leaders in the new organization. Dr. Nancy Jaskiw was nominated to serve as the organizations first president. The group is looking forward to meeting approximately four times per year with the mission of networking with other literacy leaders, keeping up with current policies and research, and sharing ideas and passion for our students' success in language and literacy.
Please contact Dr. Harris at firstname.lastname@example.com or Dr. Piazza at email@example.com if you are interested in participating or attending our next meeting.

The house is right on the beach which was pretty special. We sat outside on the deck for hours every day gazing at the sea with a glass of wine socialising. What a wonderful time we had. The house is spacious and clean and the booking process was absolutely painless.

We had our vacation with my whole family at the Ocean Edge. Never thought that the place would be so perfect. My daughters were always out in the pool. The kitchen was large and it had all the things I needed. The house is super clean. The vacation we had was indeed an unforgettable one and the best so far.

Gorgeous house and amazing views. It is even better than what we were anticipating and our expectations were high. Cleanliness was very well maintained and that is the first thing we usually notice. Truly high class and stunning. Rooms were very spacious and well maintained. Fresh air everywhere. Cool breeze makes it even more comfortable and relaxing. We couldn���t ask for anything else. Just super fabulous and we had such a great and memorable getaway. Thanks Ocean Edge!

A wonderful place to be! Ocean Edge has the most breathtaking views. One of the best we have ever seen. This place is a paradise. We had so much fun. Staying at the house was so relaxing. It was very serene and the breeze coming from the ocean was the best stress reliever for the whole family. We chose Ocean Edge because of its location and comfort. Very modern and elegant. The house has this open plan design wherein you can enjoy the stunning views of the ocean from the living and dining areas and bedroom. The house is complete with all the things you need: wireless internet, entertainment system, quality kitchen wares, pool, bath tub, clean linen, gas BBQ, laundry facilities, and so much more. This is the place to be. I enjoyed and appreciated the services, the house, and everything about our perfect holiday. I am sure that you too will enjoy as much as we did. Many thanks to Ocean Edge, its staff and the manager. We would be coming back for more wonderful times and great adventures.

Remember the days when geeks were considered to be lousy lovers? Back to the present, the scene has changed.
Strangely now, being a geek is the in thing. Forget all those romantic movies where a geek is made a sacrificial lamb. It's no longer the case. Girls today consider geeks as cool and great lovers too.

The food here was great! I got the hamburger and it was truly delicious! I was dining with friends and we had not seen each other in years. We were excited to catch up and talk. Not so fast. The music was loud and when the belly dancer started to entertain, the music was so loud it hurt your ears and there was absolutely no way we could even hear each other. The dancing goes on for quite awhile! I would love to go back because the food was really good, but I won't be because of the noise level. Hint - You need to change the rating scale for your 'noise' level. There has to be more choices.
The food was good and the service was excellent! The staff was knowledgeable and helpful and added to a very enjoyable dining experience. We went on a Friday night when there was a bellydancer performing for about 10 minutes which was fun and difference but very loud to the point where you couldn't really talk to the person next to you, wish it was a little less loud and didn't last so long. But still really enjoyed the dining experience!
Very good ambience! Waiters were very polite, good was very good and to top it all the belley dancer made a special appearance...
Very good food and very nice ambiance, belly dancing included!
We had a good time there with unexpected belly dancing. The ambience was a little noisy but the food and service was good. Overall we had a good time.
the service here was excellent and one of their specialty drinks I had was the best... rain vodka, lemon juice and jalapeno. food was fresh and simple...not greasy... yay
Food was good. Went for brunch got the bottomless Bloody Mary...very tasty....omelette was also very good...it was very noisy....loud...this as a Sunday morning...
We had a party of 8 and everyone loved their meals. Flavors are bright and vibrant. I had the Meze burger, and it was spectacular. My wife had the grilled shimp over pasta, and again, magnificent. A must hit dining experience.
Meze was great. Definitely get the pita with some dips (the spicy feta, hummus, and babaganoush were AMAZING). The only problem is you fill up on bread and by the time the rest of the meal comes around, you're already stuffed. We also got the melted cheese that comes to the table set on fire, so that was fun. Very trendy, great space. Hookah and belly dancers don't start until after 10pm so if you want food & a show, be sure to come later in the evening. Drinks were tasty but not strong at all. Definitely a fun night out.
This is a great place in the middle of the Gaslamp offering a modern setting with good Mediterranean food and a friendly staff. Service was attentive and friendly (Server Lizzie) without being intrusive. Water glasses were filled routinely. Great for a light snack or a heavier fare.We consider this place a nice find with plans to return soon.
We had another great meal at Meze the other night. The flaming cheese appetizer is always impressive and delicious. and the assortment of beef, chicken and shrimp that we ordered was outstanding. The restaurant had a very festive and fun atmosphere (helped by an assortment of very original and tasty cocktails), and further enhanced by the terrific service we received from Dre and the rest of the very courteous and friendly wait staff. To top it off, there was a very talented and entertaining belly dancer who really got the restaurant going. Highly recommend Meze for lunch, brunch and dinner!
The food is excellent:: tasty, plentiful, gourmet, representative of the Mediterranean, with a some Italian, Greek and Middle Eastern elements. I enjoy the ambiance of the place in a strategic location in downtown by the Gaslamp District and close to the Petco Park. Not too romantic, not too wild. Fits many expectations. Personally, I'd return to this place on a special occasion or when I feel more comfortable to spend a little more than the average restaurant. Your bill with taxes and tips included for two persons can easily exceed $50 dlls. with just a basic plate and some wine or beer, so it's not everyday dining for many.
Tasty food (small plates or large), they accomodate special requests like gf, hookah before 10pm (outside) etc if you call them ahead of time. Our waitress was the bomb, and the water guy came by a LOT to ensure we were hydrated. The cocktails are delicous and like none I've ever had before. We had the feta/red pepper puree dip, spanokopita, and meze kabob. Everything was beyond delicious. Will definitely be coming again.
We decided to eat at Meze for a friend's bachelorette party dinner with our gorup of 6 girls. This place was delicious! We picked Meze due to all the great reviews and we were not let down! Everything we ordered was yummy. We got the flaming cheese, delish! The babaganoush was one of the best I've had in a while, very fresh tasting. There's also an asortment of yummy speciality cocktails, wr loved all the ones we tried. We also really liked the gyro plate and the chicken kebob. I'd highly recommend this place. Lets not forget the beautiful belly dancer ;)
Our service was very attentive and professional. We'll be back.
The food here is very good. We went during their happy hour so beer was $3 and appetizers were half off. The hummus was great. My husband had their burger which is huge and delicious. The fries are also delicious. The waiter was friendly and helpful. He took our order promptly and we received our food pretty quick. After that though, we didn't see him. We had to ask for our check after waiting quite awhile. We had wanted to try their baklava, but after waiting so long and not even being asked if we'd like dessert, we decided we didn't want to wait longer. We will probably go back and hope for better service. The food was great!
I gave Meze a total of 4 out of 5 stars due to the food prices, which were a bit steep. The menu featured Mediterranean classics, such as gyros, hummus, Greek salads, and kebab plates. My friend and I shared a burger (lamb, beef, and pork) and an asparagus fruit and nut salad, both of which were delicious. Portion sizes were large. Burger was $18, salad was $15. Meze also offers a variety of small plates (tapas style...hummus, tziki, firey feta, etc.) .... prices for these range from $9-12ish. I would go back, but only with a coupon (available from San Diego magazine).
This is one of our favorite neighborhood places. Everyone is friendly and the service is excellent. The food is always outstanding with unusual tastes - I love the salmon with salsa and the caprese is terrific. The wine list is greatly improved with many nicely selected wines well priced.
The service was amazing (thanks, Jen!), great advice on menu items, and very attentive! We tried the baba ganoush, very smokey, and the best we've ever had. The jalapeño-cilantro hummus was also excellent, not too spicey so my husband was able to enjoy it. We did the two item combo for the appetizers and added gyro. The gyro meat was moist and delicious, and complimented both dips. For entrées, my husband went with the chicken and filet combo kabob. The chicken was so good he didn't even touch the filet until the chicken was gone. I had the Mezé kabob, ground beef and lamb, with just the right amount of spiciness, and accompanied by perfectly grilled eggplant. All in all, a great meal...we'll definitely be back.
Meze takes its name from the small plates (hot and cold) that it offers. There is also a good selection of entrees. We found the food excellent and the service from Patrick absolutely outstanding! We plan to return very soon.
Always a great experience at Meze. I haven't tried too many items on the menu, but the items I have tried are amazing. I just keep going back and ordering the same items. Appetizers: Hummus with pita bread. The hummus is homemade, and you can tell. It comes with warm pita bread. Quesadilla with chicken. Chicken, cheese, and bell peppers in a pita bread-type tortilla. Comes with a dipping sauce. Delicious. Entree: Chicken Kabob. Very flavorful chicken in a large portion with veggies and rice. Dessert: Homemade Baklava. This stuff is not only good, but inexpensive. $3 dollars gives you a slice with honey drizzled on the plate.
I have been there numerous times. Patrick and his Bro (who runs the kitchen) have created an awesome environment with excellent food and entertainment. I went the other nite and they have an Artist showing his stuff and then 4 Belly dancers performed for about an hour. You can sit outside on the patio with the Heat Lamps and people watch as well.
Everything we tried was excellent! Visited during ComicCon, and thought we'd test service and qualify... Sure enough, not let down. Severs were in costume, staff was on point and owners were around. Great patio for people watching with heat lamps. If they could pull off top service during the busiest weekend, they must be great on a normal night. Look forward to trying brunch on the weekend. Will def return soon. Must try Saganaki, grilled sparahus salad and lamb kabob, salmon, Or grilled shrimp!
Been to Meze for dinner a few times (always had a delicious meal) and decided to give the Sunday brunch a try. The food was great and our server made sure we were always refilled on the unlimited Mimosas. My friends had the unlimited Bloody Marys and their drinks were never empty either. A great stop on the way to a Sunday Padres game!!
Meze was a real pleasant surprise. We booked it to have dinner with a couple of friends that were visiting San Diego for only two days. We wanted something in the Gas Lamp District and it was ideally located. We arrived on time and were immediately seated at a very nice corner table. The menu is Mediterranean and was filled with excellent choices. I had a Gyros plate that was very good. My wife had a lamb Kabob and she really enjoyed it. Our friends had a flaming cheese appetizer and both had Salads. For desert my wife and I shared a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The prices are very moderate for this restaurant district. We will be returning.
I've always had an open heart and mind for trying new foods and Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food is some of my favorite to enjoy. After hearing about Mezé, I knew I had to give it a go and I am so glad I did. Andrea(Dre) was my server and was everything you expect from a server to be and more. The owners and brothers, Patrick and Raymond, made it a point to visit my table and welcome me to the restaurant. I had the gyro with feta cheese fries and it awesome. Definitely will be back and will recommend to family and friends. Also, a great place for small bar gatherings with friends. Good drinks and the perfect space for group to have a good time.
The food was great! I had the gyro and the flavor was great. I got it with the side salad and that was also really tasty.
I recommended Meze to a friend for his birthday. We had an awesome time! As always, Meze did not disappoint. We had a group of 7 people, and all were impressed! Thank-you!!
everyone, including entertainment was so nice! i got a free shot & dessert for my birthday. everyone that came near or served our table said happy birthday. service was quick & prompt & perfect really. the food is awesome. everything we tried, we loved. very flavorful & comforting yet not too heavy.

Ocean View Fishing Pier extends 1,690 feet into Chesapeake Bay, enabling anglers to cast their lines into one of the East Coast's most bountiful fishing spots. An onsite bait house and tackle shop equips visitors with the necessary gear, from rods and reels to crab pots and minnow traps. Every day, custom-built vessel the Judith Ann offers the chance to coast away from the pier for half-day fishing adventures, and an onsite restaurant keeps grumbling bellies from scaring away finned targets.
Performers feed off the energy of their audience, and when there is no audience, there is no energy. To stop this problem before it starts, venues turn to FillASeat, a business that supplies its members with tickets to events with a number of open seats left. Members enjoy a year of entry to popular shows, sporting events, comedy shows, and concerts, bulking up the audience more suitably than a litter of chihuahuas dressed in tuxedoes.

Skydive OBX's experienced instructors escort adrenaline seekers on exhilarating tandem jumps over the Outer Banks' beautiful beach scenery. After a brief demonstration explaining how jumpers should behave midair, brave cloud cutters climb aboard the compact Cessna 182 plane that carries them 9,000 feet into the atmosphere. Once planes have navigated to the sky's jumping sweet spot, passengers leap from the craft and freefall for 30 intense seconds before the instructor pulls the parachute. Breathtaking views of Roanoke Island and the Atlantic Ocean surround jumpers as they soar gracefully toward the ground and avoid awkward chats with small-minded birds. A designated viewing area gives family and friends a place to photograph their loved ones' flying feats, or gives jumpers a place to aim their Nerf darts while gliding.

I have a full functional board with a trf7960 chip, now I have developed an upgrade of this board, and I would want to use 7979 instead of 7960A.
I have put the same circuitry of the 7960 board (for the rfid section) on this new one.
But if I put on it a 7970 chip I don't succedded in read the 7970 register via SPI with SS. I have seen that my command arrive to the miso e clk pin, but neither exit.
In the SAME board (phisically) I have put the 7960 and all work fine !
Please help me, I have just bougth 500 pcs. of 7970, and I must produce this 500 board next month.
Best regards and thanks in advance.
Hi Marco,
There are a couple of considerations you will need to make to your firmware when switching from TRF7960A to TRF7970A.
The TRF7970A does not require a switching of the DATA_CLK polarity when switching from read and write modes. The TRF7960A does require this.
The TRF7970A requires that you send the software initialization direct command(0x03) upon power up.
See section 5.9.5 of the datasheet for the SPI details.
Best Regards,
Eddie LaCost

Marco -
to add to Eddie's comment here - the register 0x09 (for the TRF7970A) is defaulted to support 27.12MHz crystal. Thus, if you are using same BOM as what you have for the TRF7960 (meaning, that you are using a 13.56MHz crystal) then you must change B7 from 1 to 0 to support your clock.
We recently updated some code that we had done for the Stellaris LM3S9B96 kit where we made some logic which read this register value out first, then configured it as described above (since we are also using 13.56MHz clock) then configured SPI based on which part was being used (-60A vs. -70A)
Josh / Eddie,
is there a (perhaps more or less) complete comparison between TRF7960 / TRF7960A and TRF7970A from a software / firmware point of view (e.g. SPI Mode, Default register settings, etc.)?
I have a similar dilemma as Marco has. A couple of devices running with TRF7960 (without 'A'!), that shall be 'upgraded' to TRF7970A in order get a SW update later for adding ISO14443 support and perhaps NFC features (without the need of exchanging HW at the customer's site). But in the first step the microcontroller-software shall be identical (no concrete SW change planned so far).
As far as I understand now, it is NOT possible to run a TRF7970A with a microcontroller-SW written for a TRF7960, is it?
- Frank
Frank -
Basically - thats correct - the FW differences are:
Send Soft Init (0x03 è 0x83) and Idle (0x00 è0x80) to the TRF7970A after raising EN line to make sure SPI is going to work. This is covered on page 36 of the datasheet èhttp://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/trf7970a.pdf
Then, if still using 13.56MHz crystal, you must change the register 0x09 to make B7 a 0 (it is default = 1, for 27.12MHz clock) You can follow table 6-13 on page 65 of the data sheet èhttp://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/trf7970a.pdf
The next thing is the fact that we removed the requirement to add 1 to the number received from the read of the FIFO status register (versus the TRF796x devices)It This is covered in table 6-33 on page 75 of the data sheet èhttp://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/trf7970a.pdf
Thanks to Josh and Eddie,
I have modified my firmware with all the tips they have give me; but I don't succedded in have some response from TRF7970.
I'm waiting for a completely new board in order to test it (because solder and unsolder the chips I think can give some trouble to the circuit strip).
As documentation I have found only the SLOA158 .
Are there basically any changes in the board layout to be considered when switching from TRF7960 to TRF7970A?
There should be zero board layout change when moving from TRF7960 to TRF7970A. For example, our TRF7960EVM and TRF7970AEVM are exactly the same, with the only difference being the TRF79xx chip which is populated.
Hello Eddie,
you wrote:
"The TRF7970A does not require a switching of the DATA_CLK polarity when switching from read and write modes. "
However, the TRF7970A's manual says something different:
""The read command is sent out on the MOSI pin,MSB first, in the first eight clock cycles. MOSI datachanges on the falling edge,and is validated in the reader on the rising edge,as shown in Figure5-17.During the write cycle,the serial data out (MISO) is not valid.After the last read command bit (B0) isvalidated at the eighth rising edge of SCLK,after half a clock cycle,valid data can be read on the MISOpin at the falling edge of SCLK.
According to this, TRF7970A works in the same ways as TRF7960 does, switching the SPI-edge.
So I am confused...
Best wishes
Anyu Dai
Hi, I have exactly the same problem, I had the trf7960a and worked very well, I read and wrote a card completely, now I change the I.C. but I keep the same circuit, and it doesn't work, I mean I don't get a correct response, I send the reset software and idle commands first of all ( I didn't change the spi configuration) and then I try to read, but I can't read, I wonder if there is something else that I can do, any change in the circuit?, any other change in the S.W.?
the TRF7970A does not require the clock polarity change like the TRF7960, -61, -62A, and -63A devices. Most likely this is your issue.
Please see figure 5-17 here ==> http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/trf7970a
Thank you, you are right that was the problem.
I have one more question, about the I.S.O.18092 (N.F.C.P.I.-1).
How should I use the Perform response RF Collision Avoidance (n = 0) command(0x06), I mean, Is like the transmit with C.R.C. command, for example:
start condition
send the Perform response RF Collision Avoidance (n = 0) commandsend the number of bits to the 0x1d an d0x1e registers
send the data to the F.I.F.O.
stop condition
Is like that?
Is similar the 0x05 command, the Perform response RF Collision Avoidance (n = 1,2,3)?
Thank you for your attention,
not sure i am following your question exactly.
RE: the collision position register usage...this value is set to zero automatically by the decoder at start of receive. The decoder then counts the received bits from zero up and when detecting a collision it triggers an IRQ. The user doesn't have to do anything.It is possible to manually clear the value by switching from RFID mode to NFC mode and back to RFID mode.For example writing 0x21 to Reg 0x01 (NFC mode) and then write 0x08 to Reg 0x01 (RFID 14443A).
Hi,No, that wasn't my question, I understand the collision position register and that the values of the parameters will change if I write on the 0x01 reg in order to succeed in the communication.The situation is that when I configure the reg 0x01 to work in N.F.C. active target mode, the register 0x0c is different, I am using the definition of the table 6-21 of the datasheet (trf7970a),My question is, How is the sequence that I should follow if I want to send data in this mode?, I am asking how should I use the 0x05 and 0x06 commands, Is the sequence presented by me previously correct or wrong?.Thank you for your attentionDaniel
05 and 06 commands? not sure i am following you here...do you mean register writes or what exactly?
Sorry if I wasn't clear,
the commands 0x05 and 0x06, (Perform response RF Collision Avoidance and Perform response RF Collision Avoidance (n = 0))

Three years ago, Maria Kirilenko caused quite the scream by reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals, stunning fellow Russian Maria Sharapova along the way. Saturday she moved a step closer to equaling that performance, downing Yanina Wickmayer 7-6(4) 6-3 in the third round.
It's the 25-year-old's first trip to the second week at Melbourne Park since that run in 2010, which included a win over then-No.2 Dinara Safina. Monday she has a fourth-round battle with none other than Serena Williams.
In five career meetings, Serena has never lost to Kirilenko, though the Russian has stretched her to three sets twice. How does one go about beating the best player in tennis? Kirilenko chuckled at the question.
"Play the ball over the net. Hit every ball on the line. Every time serve aces," she laughed, the Russian press corps getting a kick out of her response.
But Kirilenko has beaten top five players just four times in her career: Jelena Jankovic in 2007, Sharapova in 2005, that Safina win in Australia and Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2010.
A new-outlook Maria might be producing similar results in 2013. In December, she became engaged to boyfriend Alex Ovechkin, an NHL hockey player. When asked about it on court Saturday after her win, the crowd chimed in with loud boos, obviously disappointed that the good-looking Kirilenko is no long on the market.
"What do you want me to say?" Kirilenko said as she giggled, telling the emcee his accolades for Ovechkin were spot on. It was then that she pulled out her engagement ring from her bag, the diamond rock sparkling under the Australian summer sun.
"No, we haven't set a date yet."
With her date booked with Serena for Monday, Kirilenko now has to raise her game to another level to reach her third career Grand Slam quarterfinal.
In 2012, the steady baseliner made the Wimbledon quarterfinals, extending eventual finalist Agnieszka Radwanska to three sets before succumbing. Weeks later, she was an Olympic semifinalist at the All England Club, ending in fourth place with a loss to Victoria Azarenka.
"That gave me a lot of confidence that I can play with these girls," Kirilenko said last week in Sydney. "I'm still improving every year."
It was during that run that Kirilenko nabbed the bronze in doubles, pairing with countrywoman Nadia Petrova for third place.
She has begun 2013 with a new doubles partner, however, partnering with doubles veteran Lisa Raymond of the United States. The No.3 seeds here, Maria and Lisa were knocked out Friday by Australian wildcards Casey Dellacqua and Ashleigh Barty.
Such a loss may prove to be a blessing in disguise, however. Kirilenko's full focus now turns to the singles court after a hardened battle with Wickmayer on Saturday.
"I'm going to have a rest day tomorrow and practise and concentrate on the things I need to do," Kirilenko said about her day off on Sunday.
First on court Saturday, Kirilenko showed steely nerves against the big-hitting Belgian in the first set on Hisense Arena, serving twice to stay in the set twice and then running off five of the final six points of the set after trailing 3-2 in the tiebreak.
While Maria isn't the biggest hitter from the baseline, the 174cm-tall Russian constructs points beautifully, hitting the corners and moving in when she can. Her net presence has been buoyed by her time on the doubles court.
Yet things will be doubly difficult on Monday when she faces Serena.
"The last time I played her was three sets," Kirilenko remembered, citing Stanford in 2011. "It's going to be a difficult match of course. Hopefully [difficult] for both of us. She's on fire right now, she's winning everything. It's tough to say what kind of match it's going to be, but I'm playing well."
With confidence on her side, Kirilenko's new future-hubby-to-be is half a world away, Ovechkin set to start the NHL season in the States Saturday.
Any advice from Alex on how to play Serena?
"Tomorrow is his first match," Kirilenko noted. "So, we don't talk about how to play Serena – he has to play his match first."
Regardless, Kirilenko won't be wearing her ring on court Monday. She'll tuck it safe into her bag, hopefully returning to it one match closer to winning some Australian Open bling for herself.

How would you like to see yourself happy and bubbling with enthusiasm or dull and difficult to please?
Often you like to be pleased, appeased and cajoled. So you put up a tough, upset face and act difficult to please. If a person has to appease and please ten people all the time, it will be so tiring. People who keep a long face and expect others to cajole and appease them make others run away. Lovers often do this. They expend a lot of energy in cajoling and this brings down the joy and celebration of the moment.
It is okay for you to show your upset mood or tendency once in a while, but doing it over and over again is taxing for you and people you love.
If you feel down, appease and please yourself. Your need to be appeased by someone else is the sign of grossness. This is the root of ignorance. If you want attention, all you get is tension.
Become one whose enthusiasm never dies, come what may.

Does Jordan Bratman have a voodoo doll? In the latest instance of bad news for Christina Aguilera – which follows not long after her infamous Super Bowl flub, her Grammy spill, and getting arrested for public intoxication – new lawsuit claims Sony Music hasn't paid the rightful owner for the sample of the 1968 song 'Hippy Skippy Moon Strut' (also known as 'I'll Be A Lucky Man') by Dave Cortez and the Moon People used in her 2006 single 'Ain't No Other Man'.
Per PopEater:
According to a federal lawsuit filed in New York, the classic song's exclusive rights have been owned by TufAmerica since 2004. However, Sony Music went through Codigo Music and the Clyde Otis Music Group in order for Aguilera to sample the song on her album.
Christina's label Sony reportedly cleared the rights to the song with the wrong owner! TufAmerica has now filed a lawsuit against Sony demanding they be declared the rightful owners of the song and be paid restitution as well. Fairly easy mistake to make considering the rights to song tracks are constantly being bought and sold.

Posted 9:30 PM 12/27/2012 : Kitchen Cops: Colonel's troops fail mission of keeping kitchen clean
TUCSON - The Pima County Health Inspectors did not get much of a break this holiday; in this week's installment of Kitchen Cops, inspectors visited a restaurant symbolized by a Colonel with troops who failed in their mission to keep the kitchen clean.
KFC, at 190 S. Grant Rd., received two critical and two non-critical violations. The inspector reported that a walk-in cooler smelled of rotted meat and had grime and slime buildup on shelving, racks and on the floor. Juice drippings from a speed rack extended out the door. Chicken product and debris were found throughout the cooler. All violations were corrected during the inspection, giving KFC a "Good" rating.
Rocco's Little Chicago, at 2707 E. Broadway, received one critical and two non-critical violations. Utensils stored as clean were found covered with dried food debris. The floor in the dishwashing and dry storage areas were covered with trash, dirt and food debris. Vents above a deep fryer had dust and grease on them with grease dripping on to trays. All violations were corrected with the inspector on site giving Rocco's Little Chicago a "Good" rating.
Last week we told you about Davidson Elementary School, at 3950 E. Paradise Falls Dr, receiving a "Needs Improvement" rating. The Pima County Health Department has confirmed that the school passed re-inspection.
Restaurants awarded excellent ratings include, Yukis Sushi at 2962 N. Campbell Ave., Mountain Oyster Club at 6400 E. El Dorado Circle and Asian Bistro at 3122 N. Campbell.
