Varadharajapuram is a village on the banks of River Kaveri in Thottiyam Block of Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu, India. Being a water‐logged area because of the closeness to the river, people in the village cannot construct low‐cost toilet models. Except five families, the remaining families were practicing open defecation on the river banks and on the road sides leading to the banana groves.
Sridharan, a 32 year old youth, one day had a chance to attend a village meeting of women self‐help groups formed by Gramalaya, a local NGO. The field staff from Gramalaya was talking about the formation of Association for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (AWASH ) committees in the village. They also briefed the women about the dangers of open defecation nearby the water bodies and the importance of having toilets at the households. (more…)

William Tillman was later awarded (grudgingly) $6,000 in salvage compensation from the S. J. Waring's insurance company.
New York, August 3, 1861
The schooner S. J. Waring, mentioned in our last among the vessels which had been captured by the privateer, Jeff. Davis, arrived in this port on Sunday July 21st, having been retaken by the black steward, with the assistance of one of the seamen.
When the S. J. Waring was taken by the Jeff. Davis, her captain and mate were taken off, but the colored steward, two of the seamen and a passenger were left on board. The steward having discovered, by a conversation which he heard, that it was the intention of the prize master, Capt. Amiel, to sell him into slavery as soon as the schooner arrived in Charleston, determined to make a desperate attempt to retake the vessel. He proposed his plan to the two sailors who belonged to the schooner, but one of them refused to have anything to do with it. the other one, however, a young German by the name of William Stedding, agreed to assist, and these two men undertook the bold task of overcoming the whole prize crew.
The following account of the successful execution of this enterprise is given by the passenger, Bryce Mackinnon. After narrating the events of the capture, substantially the same as already published, he says:--
"The schooner was headed for Charleston, or some inlet on the coast near that port. We were not put in irons, but were used with as much kindness as we could expect. The steward continued to cook and provide for us, and our men worked the vessel. I became quite intimate with the officers, and expected soon to be a prisoner of war in Charleston, though we hoped we might fall in with a United States vessel, and be rescued from our captors. Thus we got on quietly on our way southward until Tuesday, the 16th inst., when we were 50 miles south and 100 miles west of port, and thought we might get in the next day.
What followed, I did not anticipate. It is true that now, when I look back, I remember that Amiel had congratulated himself upon the valuable prize he had found in the steward, whom he vowed was worth a cool thousand on Meeting Street, Charleston, and I further remarked that, on several occasions, Tillman, the steward, shook his head and muttered, "Dem fo'ks nebber git to Charls'n;" but I supposed the that he was expecting, like the rest of us, to meet with a friend in one of Uncle Sam's cruisers.
It was a bright moonlight night, was that of Tuesday, so pleasant that I remained on deck 'til 11 P.M., later than I usually did. The steward had turned in at 8, as was his habit. Our trunk cabin projected about three feet above the main deck, and was entered by a companion ay in the middle of the forward end. When I went down, the mate was nodding on the cabin roof, just in front of the wheel, in a half recumbent position. Behind him stood Wm. Stedding, one of our old crew, at the wheel. Milnor, the South Carolinan, lay asleep on a pile of sails at the foot of the foremast. McLeod, another of our men, with Dorsey, the Jerseyman, were asleep in the forecastle. The cabin lamp was burning on the table when I went below, and Capt. Amiel lay snoring in his berth in his stateroom, sound asleep. In the stateroom on the other side of the cabin slept the steward and second mate, the former on top, the latter in the second berth, the third and lowest sleeping place being unoccupied.
The weather being sultry, the doors of the staterooms had been taken off, so that not only were the rooms open from the cabin, but my room, in the rear of the captain's opened into his, the door between also being down. I took my coat and vest off very leisurely, and swallowed a draught of cherry brandy before getting into bed, so that I would think it was 11:10 when I retired. It could not have been more than 10 minutes later when I was awakened from a light sleep by a peculiar sound in the captain's room, which I knew instinctively could only have been produced by an ax cleaving Amiel's skull.
No sooner did the "thush" strike upon my ear than I leaped out of bed, and leaning against the door casing in the partition, saw the steward dart through the twilight--for he had extinguished the light-- noiseless as a cat across the cabin toward the second mate's room. I also saw, at the same glance, Capt. Amiel rise from his berth and attempt to follow him; but the blood blinded him, and he fell to the floor, with a horrid gurgling sound in his throat. All this was but the work of a second. The cleaving of the skull, like a flash from a gun, preceding the report, was followed by a weak, faint cry, like that of a sick child, and the burbling in the throat. I knew then that his wound was mortal. Stooping sideways, the steward entered the second mate's cabin, and once more swung his ax, but not so effectively.
The mate started up with a "G_d d_n you, don't strike me again," and clutched at the steward's breast, but eluding the wounded man, he ran on deck, to where the man lay near the wheel-house, and keeping his axe behind him demanded "what all this noise was about?"
The mate who had been aroused by the outcries of the captain and mate, had raised himself up on his elbow, and stared at the steward in a half-stupid, half fascinated way, not seeing the pistol which Stedding the man at the helm, had pointed at him for use in case of necessity. As he turned his face toward the steward, the later drove his weapon home into the base of his skull. Stedding and the steward then tumbled him overboard. He rose on the wave, with a hoarse cry, when about two lengths astern, and water having raised him, but he must have soon gone down to his long account.

Reviews & ratings
I love Mien Tay and me and my partner are regulars - the food is delicious. Personal favourite is the crispy pancake with prawn, pork and beanspoats, my partner loves the quail and we both love the pho which they serve with loads of fresh herbs. I know the service can seem a little 'rough and ready' which is annoying at times but it's not an expensive place and they have a high turnover of customers due to demand. The only thing that has been getting to me recently is that they don't give you change even when you leave a lot more than the bill and we end up having to ask for it! Me and my partner are good tippers but when faced with the assumption that we're going to tip 20%+ and having to ask for our change and wait a long time for it - last time we left nothing! They need to learn from this and treat their customers properly!

Having been to the East London restaurant on numerous occasions after seeing Time Out's review thought would give Battersea version a try. Thought it would be the same but with better service. How wrong. Service was ok but staff distant and cold. The place lacked soul. Rather grim experience. Food was fine but initially they didn't have the dish i wanted bcoz they said they had no tofu as it had to be imported from abroad. Never heard that b4 and never had a problem at the Old street branch. Wouldn't recommend. The best Mien Tay is near Old Street and i'm an adopted south londoner.

Absolutely shocking service. Rude waiters not listening to us meant every dish we ordered came out at the same time. Even though I pointed this out not one of them apologised and instead just tried to squeeze them all in on the table leading them to take one of the dishes away. After our plates were finished they quickly took them and produced a bill without us requesting it, or asking us if we wanted any other food or drink. The bill included the starter dish I didn't even eat which they then bought over just as I went to ask why it had been included... still no apology. Needless to say I didn't leave service. Get a take away to avoid the horrendous service.

The food is a hit - the service is chaotic and all over the place.
Alex Mon May 28 2012Rated as: 2/5 -
I went to Mien Tay last night and was surprised to find they have a wine list that recommends wine with matching dishes.
I had not heard about this and it was amazing! We love Mien Tay anyway and then to have a wine that goes perfectly just makes everything 100% more amazing!!
What is really good is the wines are all available by glass and are really cheap, we always just get lots of starters so in theory you could get a different wine for each dish.
Can't wait to go back and try more matches.Davide Perou Sat Feb 4 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
This was the worst service I have ever had. Rude waiters, I was interupted at least twice when tryign to order. Food came out late, by the time I got it everyone else had finished eating and there was no apology. The duck dish with rice was horrible. Really dissapointing.

There are only a few places i really look forward to going to in the Clapham Junction area, and this is definitely one of them. I have been to the sister restaurant on Kingsland Road (look at me i am so well travelled!) whichIi feel has a little more charm being narrow and intimate, but this location still maintains the fantastic food.
The salt, pepper and garlic squid may not pure Vietnamese, but it is crispy and tender. The goat is great and the beef with lemongrass and chilli also hits the spot. This is the only place I have ever had fresh rolls, which for me have all the delight of the spring rolls while leaving you spritely enough to continue gorging happily. Having said that the Vietnamese spring rolls are lighter and crunchier than any Chinese counterparts I have had in London (including Royal China and Wing Yip). Finally the deep fried whole seabass with ginger, lemongrass chili and mango is amazing.
If you plan to head there between 18:30-20:30 either book or expect a wait. This place used to be a little known treasure, but the secret is out.
This place now has a license and you can pick up a 330ml beer for 2.50 and wine is reasonable, but it is still BYOB if you fancy increasing the savings.James Tue Jul 12 2011Rated as: 5/5

The root cause has been promising benefits and not paying for them. For example, between 1991 and 2005 the Legislature increased the liability of the Teachers' Retirement System 14 times by increasing benefits without identifying a funding source. The result was pension systems that, until just recently, ranked among the worst-funded in the nation. In recent years, state policymakers decided to finally tackle the problem that had been kicked down the road for decades. The first action was to stop the problem from worsening. Between 2006 and 2007, laws were enacted to prohibit the Legislature from increasing benefits without funding them and require that any legislation to alter pension benefits include an actuarial analysis stating the true cost of the proposal. Between 2011 and 2012, additional reforms were enacted to help stabilize the pension plans. The largest reform was to eliminate granting cost-of-living-adjustments (COLAs) without also providing funding to cover the expense. Additional improvements included increasing the minimum retirement age for new workers. Persistent pension problems All the reforms are expected to have a positive impact over time, but the only reform that was immediately measurable was the unfunded COLA ban, which overnight reduced the state's collective unfunded liability by $5 billion. However, a year after that landmark reform, the liability has crept back up by almost $1 billion due to lower investment returns. And while Oklahoma's pensions are no longer among the worst-funded in the nation, they still rank in the bottom third. Without additional reform, Oklahoma may be unable to keep the promises Funded Status of Oklahoma Public Pensions Source: NEPC, LLC Plan Actuarial Value of Assets (in millions) Actuarial Accrued Liability (in millions) Funded Status as of 7/1/2012 Funded Status as of 7/1/2011 Teachers $10,190 $18,588 54.8% 56.7% Public Employees $6,682 $8,335 80.2% 80.7% Firefighters $1,759 $2,886 60.9% 63.7% Police $1,834 $2,034 90.2% 93.0% Law Enforcement $688 $879 78.3% 75.9% Judges $239 $249 95.7% 96.4% Wildlife $77 $101 76.1% 78.1% Total $21,468 $33,072 64.9% 66.7%

Court advice?
Hey guys,
I got pulled over, about 45 minutes ago, and since I am a juvenile, I have to go to juvenile court. I was speeding, and was doing 52 in a 35. The weird thing, is that the cop was in the middle of the road, with no lights on. It's a pretty busy road, so I'm not sure. But anyways, I just want some advice on what I should do. I should get a letter from the court, saying when I should go, but the officer, said that it can be a few days up to a few months. I'm just nervous, and don't know what to do. Thanks, Austin |

Hmm...in Illinois they issue you a court date when you get the ticket. You have the option of just paying the ticket by mail/over the internet (depending on the county) or actually going to the court date if you think you're not guilty or just want to ask for a payment extension or ask for court supervision. Nothing to really be nervous about, happens to just about everyone.

Prayer for Judgement if it's your first offense (In NC at least)...that will usually only run you court costs (this is from the only experience I've had) Only thing is, you can't have any citations for the next 3 years or they will hit you with both of the tickets the next time.

They'll probably make you take a class of some sort or maybe do community service then...I'm not sure how things work in Ohio. Either way, don't worry about it...it happens.

I got a 42 in a 25, got it dropped to 34 in a 25. (No points on license, etc) Still had to pay court costs. My friend has had 2 speeding tickets dropped to improper equipment.

I would contest the ticket and then show up for the court date. They give you an option to plead guilty so you don't actually have to go through with the trial.
It is possible if you contest it, it will become lost in the system. Not likely but it happened to me. That being said if you were speeding just views it as a $200 fee you paid that allowed you unlimited speeding until you got caught. |

Just be respectful to the judge and officers when you got to court. Dress appropriately. Say "No Sir, Yes Sir, etc."
They MAY ease up on you if you act mature.

My advice is don't speed in the first place then you don't have to worry about court.
Oh yeah be honest as well, don't go into court and say you wern't speeding, if you lie it will most likely result in the automatic worst case scenerio. |

If you started, you must finished.
If you do it, you must give it all.
In Bao Lian Deng I think Chen Shang is too ugly for Shu Chang they just didn't look good together. I though that Shu Chang shone the screen with her character alone. You can see that she is good actress throughout the series, first she started as innocent and naive then she turned all serious in the end you can see that she is very verastile as an actress.
If you started, you must finished.
If you do it, you must give it all.
Thanks Godslayer....
your pics basically brighten up the thread. It's nice getting caps from series because there aren't very many pics of Shu Chang around.
i wish my friend would give me my Linked Cities back... then i could make more captures as well...
Shu Chang is a very versatile actress. You can tell by the fact that she can pull off gentle roles because she has a nice gentle look, but she can also pull of roles like Tian Shan Tong Lao that most 'pretty' actresses can't doOriginally Posted by Godslayer
No prob my pleasure to be a good citizen and help people. And I agree with you on how there are so few pics on her I basically had to re-watch the series again to capture good pics of her.
If you started, you must finished.
If you do it, you must give it all.
more pics of shu chang
poor weeping Shu Chang
more pics:
the ladies may like her...but the guys would prefer the gyy, lyf, ym, sff looks over her. not saying she's ugly but just doesnt have the same look as the other ladies.
i think shu chang has quite an interesting look. At first i found her pretty, but nowhere near the LYF league, but now i think she's actually very beautiful.... as beautiful as LYFOriginally Posted by crazylife123
Unlike LYF, i think Shu Chang has actually earned her way up without having those 'goddess' looks. In terms of acting, Shu Chang and LYF are in completely different classes
i have to agree.. LYF looks a bit cuter/prettier. but of course it could be that she is photogenic Shu Chang is more someo ne who i have to look at a couple of time to see that she is pretty
Are you calling me a lady, you bastard? I personally prefer all actresses who are pretty including LFY and Shu Chang and basically all the young actresses since they are the ones that are going to be around for a longer time than the others.Originally Posted by crazylife123
I find both LFY and Shu Chang are pretty in their own ways, neither can trumiph over the other (Vut you fuys like LFY btter than SHu Chang).
Lets just say it this way LFY has the looks while SHu Chang has the talent OKay?
If you started, you must finished.
If you do it, you must give it all.
to most director and producers...whoever makes the most money for their production will get cast...and LYF will make more money for them than Shu Chang...talent or no talent...like i said before...sex sells!Originally Posted by Godslayer
even if you have talent but if you dont have that many audience to watch you do your work...it wouldnt consider talent...LOL

I agree with you B...LYF/YM/GYY/SFF are cuter...I wouldnt date SC if the other ladies were in the same room.Originally Posted by Sugar
Shu Chang might succeed and it's going to be her acting skills that will help her out.

i.e Britney Spears, i don't think she was pretty.. but she was pretty talentless.. but had 'sex appeal'( i myself think not) btu anyways.. she is nothing abut a joke now in the media. Same thing foes for Jessica Simpson.. she is getting there
btw Oppa, care to finish this?who this be BIATCH?I agree with you B...
It depends how you carry yourself. Most of the actors that are considered top notch are good looking...very very few are famous on talent alone.Originally Posted by Sugar
Britney Spears had to be the perfect example. She had all the good looks and sex on her but she was talent-less and with all the scandal she is a total mess.
And Crazy in some peoples eyes talent goes over beauty while it is opposite for others. LFY is always going to the NUmber for beauty and admit that she really captures the attention of her auidences. Hey that is what happen when I watched the CHinese Paladin but was the same with Shu Chang too when I watched in Bao Lian Deng. Both are unique and glamourous in their own ways. Sometimes you can't really compare this too because one is getting all the spotlight while the other is just getting a glimpse of it.
If you started, you must finished.
If you do it, you must give it all.
Another example is Paris Hiltn but all she has is money she is not even pretty but gets some attention because of her wealth and look at the sex tape she filmed that is another mess.
If you started, you must finished.
If you do it, you must give it all.

Daniel Gallington is the Senior Policy and Program Adviser at the George C. Marshall Institute in Arlington, Va. He served in senior national security policy positions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Justice, and as bipartisan general counsel for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
America is not the only place in the world with violence perpetrated by people with serious mental illness. It happens everywhere—and comparing incidents serves primarily to highlight the reality and ever increasing severity of those with untreated mental illness in modern society. And, they do their twisted violence with guns, knives, bombs, arson, and vehicles driven into crowds of innocent people. However, what Americans can or will actually do about gun violence from the mentally ill is a far more complex issue than it is for the rest of the world—this for a number of reasons not understood by most foreigners and some Americans.
Until now
To begin with, if you're an American, how you think about guns is usually related to three basic factors: what part of our country you grew up in; what you learned from your parents, relatives and friends; and whether you served in the military. Whether you or your family may have also been a victim of violence can have "pro" or "con" effect on your view on guns, and it's easy to understand either reaction.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
Perhaps ironically, our two largest political parties haven't had much to do with it, especially over the past few years; however, this is not without some major internal intricacies and oddities. For example: Far more Republicans are "pro gun" than Democrats, but many Democrats from the South and West are also "pro gun." And, far more Democrats from the East and West coasts (and the big cities) are "anti gun," as are some notable "big city" Republicans.
And, Democrats remember—painfully—1994, when, during the Clinton administration, the "assault weapons ban" was passed by Congress. The national political reaction was dramatic—a 54-seat "swing" to the Republicans in Congress—this after Democrats had enjoyed the majority in the House for 40 years!
This "political lesson" also explains: 1) why substantive gun-related legislation has not been passed since, 2) why the liberal Obama administration totally avoided "gun issues" during its first term, and 3) why Democrats didn't raise gun control issues during the 2012 campaign.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
While they will probably not admit it, Democrats simply knew better. And, had the Connecticut shooting not happened, it's exactly where we would be on the gun issue today. This in spite of the 2011 shooting of a Democratic congresswoman—and the killing and wounding of several others—by a lunatic with a "high-capacity" handgun, as the congresswoman spoke in public and in her home district!
In fact, the legislative and judicial mood of the country was clearly headed in the opposite direction—propelled by a steadily enlarging popular consensus—with "right to carry" and "castle doctrine" legislation passing in many more states. And, the Supreme Court ruled against the Washington, D.C. gun ban, while other federal courts ruled against the Illinois gun ban. "Gun bans," by the way, simply don't work to control urban gang violence, such as we have in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles. Violent criminals, especially drug-centered ones, will always have guns, while the law-abiding citizenry comply with bans. Finally, so-called "mass shootings in America"—perpetrated mostly by the mentally ill—actually increased slightly during the 10 year assault weapons ban, destroying the basic "cause and effect" assumption of the sponsors of the ban. The lesson here? Simple: Taking guns away from honest people doesn't keep them away from criminals or crazy people—that's a whole different problem.
[Take the U.S. News Poll: Should the Assault Weapons Ban Be Reinstated?]
A whole new ball game?
Enter the Connecticut tragedy: As a result, do we actually have what gun control advocates are calling "a whole new ball game"? Despite the totally understandable public outrage and anguish of the event, most of us know otherwise. This pragmatic consensus is based on the following reasons, which go much deeper into the fabric of American life and society than are realized or understood by most foreign critics.
- First, our Constitution assures us of the "right to bear arms"—even more emphatic, it also says that the right "shall not be infringed." Perhaps even more important, especially in this context, our Constitution establishes many of our basic "rights" in the form of prohibitions—on our government—i.e., things our government just can't do. As a result, Americans will continue to own guns, with few limitations, just as we continue to enjoy free speech. In fact, nothing short of a constitutional amendment can change this so long as we exist as a nation. The rest of the gun debate is mostly about definitions, not basic concepts—and we all know this.
- Our attitudes toward guns are grounded by the basic constitutional right to have them (and the government not being able to take them away) so no one rationally believes that there could ever be a "gun ban" here, such as there has been in England or Australia, where there are no similar constitutions, or in European civil law countries, with even less fundamental guarantees of basic rights.
- We had to fight for our independence and freedoms, and to this day have an extremely limited central government, especially when compared to other world democracies. The federally protected right to bear arms is also part of our sovereign state constitutional system, which takes practical precedence over federal laws in most of our everyday lives, i.e., many, if not most firearms specific laws and regulations are state.
- Our federal political system was designed—intentionally—to be inefficient and to prevent pockets of despotic power developing, especially in the executive department. We call this a "system of checks and balances" and we like it that way. In fact, substantive legislative reaction to the Connecticut shootings might simply be impossible because of our inefficient federal political system itself. And, it was intended to "work" that way, i.e., by not working—and it could easily "not work" as a legislative reaction to this latest violence. And, as with the fiscal cliff debt crisis, everybody will blame everybody else if nothing happens, but it could easily turn out that way.
- The NRA and other organizations that are focused on preventing federal and state legislative action that infringes on our "right to bear arms" are very effective. These organizations, just like the hundreds of other "political action organizations" we have (for free speech, antidiscrimination, privacy, etc.) aggressively pursue their charters, and will continue to do so until the debate becomes far more responsible and far less emotional.
- Finally, the inescapable facts are that the Connecticut shootings—and most of those like it—are not primarily a failure of guns in society, but an even more serious and fundamental failure. That failure? Our "mental health system" of which there simply isn't. And, there hasn't been a "system" since we "decided" to put hundreds of thousands of mentally ill people back on our streets, hoping that they would somehow "take their meds"—assuming they even have them—which most didn't, don't and won't. This is the "real problem" and most everyone who can be objective about these tragic events realizes it. In fact, and as is too often the case, many who actually knew these shooters were not surprised by the evil they did—only that the shooters were not under some form of strict supervision. Why can't, won't, or don't we deal with our mentally ill? That's a whole separate set of issues—legal, medical, and resource centric. Is it simply easier—and cheaper—when reacting to gun violence done by the mentally ill, to blame guns than it is to keep mentally ill people off our streets? Many think this is the real motivation behind "gun bans".
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Did the Sandy Hook Shooting Prove the Need for More Gun Control?]
Where to now?
So, this is where we "really are"—and always have been—on gun control in America: It's not "a whole new ball game" and won't be unless we change our Constitution. And, while we might be able to "beat around the margins" of the issue with some new gun regulations and procedures, hopefully we will—instead—concentrate our real focus, frustrations, resources, and political energies on aggressive and effective new public (mental) health initiatives. Meanwhile, Americans will continue to enjoy their constitutional right to bear arms, just as our forefathers knew we should—as a basic guarantee of our safety and security—and one constitutionally defined as a protection from oppressive government. This is a fundamental part of who we are and where we came from. And, unlike the political evolution of many others in the world, our approach has worked pretty well—it continues to work because of the basic assurances for each of us that were originally intended.

admin wrote:Well if we accept that the French army contained around 10,000 fighting men (which is fairly conservative I think), then I think it is fair to say that only about 30% of them could really have been wearing full plate armour? I find it hard to believe that the French could field more than a few thousand men wearing full plate harness. If you look at German and Italian tomb effigies from this time it is surprising that some still show a considerable amount of exposed mail armour, and that is on the tombs of comparably wealthy men at arms. There were plenty of poor men at arms who could not afford tomb monuments... what must they have been wearing? A mixture of old mail and coats of plates I should think. Plenty of places for arrows to stick there.
If we now fast forward to the mid-15thC you have a far higher percentage of men at arms in high quality all-encompassing plate, coupled with guns that can nullify the English habit of entrenching and pallisading (as happened at Chastillon). And you see lots of French victories.
Medieval Knights typically fought as a Lance or a Gleve, a unit of 4 or 5 horsemen. Of this unit, only the knight was in full armor and on an armored horse. The other horsemen include both lancers or demi-lancers (partly armored horsemen on unarmored horses) and unarmed servants (valetti). In the Baltic a Lance also included mounted crossbowmen.
This is a little bit later period (about 50 years later) but it gives you a pretty good idea of a 15th Century Army on the march, how much armor they wore and the ratio of armored to partly or unarmored in the cavalry and infantry... from the Wolfegg Hausbuch
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... eerzug.jpg
So for example Medieval records indicate 200 lances or 140 lances or so on. 200 lances translates to 600 - 1000 cavalry.
Of the entire force of a typical Medieval army, the cavalry contingent is often less than half.
So lets say for sake of argument (totally ball park guess) you have 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry... this might mean somewhere around 1,500 actual fully armored knights.

Joseph Tambellini
Online Reservations
After several times dining at Tambolines it is clear that every dish is better than the last. The service is always impeccable and the presentation makes it complete. We highly recommend Tambolines to anyone who enjoys a fine culinary experiance.
I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and everything that was served to us was outstanding. Complimentary bread was served, with an incredible sun-dried tomato dipping oil. We had the fried zucchini for an appetizer, paired with a great marinara - it was delicious and a surprisingly large dish. Our entrees were preceded by small, fresh salads with a berry vinaigrette. When our entrees did come, we were already quite satisfied with the amount of food - but we found a way to keep eating. Both my "Malfada Giancarlo" pasta and his Del Monico steak were absolutely incredible. It's not outlandishly expensive for the quality, service, and amount of food, but I wouldn't go often if you order as much as we did (with great wine, too)!
my wife and I wanted to dine here for years, but never really got around to until now. and were both glad we did. beautiful atmosphere and outstanding service
This is an excellent restaurant. The food is good and it is warm and friendly. However, I did not appreciate the "upselling" done by our waitress, both of the appetizers and the cheese on our salads. The restaurant is expensive and to hustle a cheese dressing for the salad without noting an extra charge is beneath the restaurant. Moreover, there was no upcharge noted for whole wheat pasta on the menu but the waitress informed us that there was such a charge. I also thought a charge of $11.50 for a Kettle One on the rocks was excessive.
Everything about our experience was great with wonderful service. The food is traditional Italian prepared in a more authentic style with fresh gourmet ingredients. It wa a fantastic meal and we will certainly return soon. Joseph Tambellini was fantastic an went out of his way to please.
I normally don't respond to these kinds of surveys unless my experience was really good or really bad.... Fortunately it was my second time dining at Tambellinis and again the food was amazing!!!! Thanks for. Great birthday dinner!
As always the food was great the place was great, overall nothing but the best. It always makes you smile when you walk into a place and the chef remembers your family. Keep up the great service and it will always be top on our list of Pittsburgh places to dine.
Took my future bride there for our first date, good choice I might add. The food was great. Started with the crab balls w/two sauces which were excellent and for my entree, lamb chops which were cooked perfect. My date had the salmon which was perfectly cooked with no "dry" spots or ends. Of course the ambiance is included in the price but hey, that's exactly what I wanted!
I took my Mom for her birthday dinner here. Her and my late father used to frequent the Tembellini's restaurant on Rt. 51 back in the day and loved it. Sadly, their experiences with others with the Tambellini's name, or with a different name that took over a Tambellini's ranged from less than stellar to downright disappointing, so when I announced I made dinner reservations at Joseph Tambellini's the reaction was less than enthusiastic. Fortunately for me, Melissa and Joe hit the ball out of the park, so to speak. Joe spoke to us individually on the way in and Melissa on the way out (Melissa even complimented Mom on her dress) and let us know they appreciated us choosing them. The food was out of this world, as were the mixed drinks.
Our first visit - table for 4 and had a wonderful meal. Very classy place. Fried zucchini and sesame calamari for the table - generous portions for sharing. The eggplant parm was the best I've ever had. Everyone raved about their meals. We were seated next to a table celebrating a 75th birthday so the room was a bit loud. Our server did not seem on par with the rest of the place. She was friendly, but made several slip-ups which indicated her experience level wasn't where you'd expect. Overall we'll be back for certain, I think the place is a gem in Highland Park.
It was our first time visiting Joseph Tambellini's. We were there as a party of four celebrating my 25th birthday. Usually for my birthday I like to find somewhere new and exciting to go. I turned to OpenTable to help me make my decision. And thankfully, our experience was just as good as the reviews I had read. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the food was AMAZING! Don't let the higher priced menu scare you away because it it worth every penny. I love the idea of the "chefs tasting" where you get a small portion of watever the soup/salad and pasta of the day is along with your dinner. The staff took great care of us and even gave me a dessert on the house since it was my bday. I already can't wait to go back.
This truly is a neighborhood gem. The food is always very good, but there is too much food!
We ate at Joseph Tambellini's and found it to be an all around wonderful experience! Tha food was amazing... Every course was truly perfect. We especially enjoyed the greens and beans and the meatballs. The special dessert was delicious and our wine and entrees were all delicious. Definitely a perfect evening spent at a lovely restaurant. We will visit again soon.
Could not ask for a better meal -- fabulous is the only word that comes to mind.
Every meal is simply delicious at Joe's. Take it from my husband and me because we eat here a lot. We're greeted warmly at the front table and our service is always top notch. This restaurant is a marvy addition to the neighborhood.
One of my favorite restaurants if not the favorite in Pittsburgh. The food is the best Italian I've had anywhere except the pasta was not hot. Cappuccino was also lukewarm. These deficiencies should not deter anyone from experiencing this fine cuisine.
Missy & Joe welcome all into their "home". The hospitality is wonderful & the food is so good there aren't words to describe. If not the best place to dine in Pgh it is one of the top 2 in Pgh. Highly recommend!!
Had a great meal. Calamari Arabiata is the best calamari in the city, especially if you prefer your calamari not fried. They have added a chocolate lava cake to the dessert menu that was exceptional. Sometimes after an excellent meal dessert can be a let down, so we often skip it; however Oma whim this this new item. My wife loved it. I was lucky to get a taste. I had the pecan ball. The whole pecans make it stand out. Glad we saved room for dessert.
We really like this restaurant. Their Italian specialties are wonderful. Ask about the daily specials. I had a rib eye steak with a wine mushroom sauce. It was the daily special, and it was special indeed. Plenty of mushrooms, great sauce and good beef. I brought leftovers home, which I will use for a steak salad soon. My wife had fried shrimp - not what you'd expect at an Italian restaurant, but she really enjoyed them. Service is efficient and relaxed. We visit about once a year and have never been disappointed. Joseph Tambellini, the owner, is the consummate host - visiting tables and ensuring that all goes well.
Took my daughter and a group of her friends here for her 22nd birthday. The food was exceptional! Be certain to try the crab balls as an appetizer and also be sure to add the meatball to your pasta course. Both the pecan ball and the pound cake were deliscious desserts. The menu is traditional italian. We had quite a varied group and there was something for everyone. The service was excellent. Our server, Charlotte, was knowledgeable, courteous and did not rush us at all with just enough of a break between courses. I would recommend Joseph Tambellini for anyone looking for exceptional food in a quaint and welcoming establishment!
I've eaten here often. Even when the restaurant is full it remains possible to have a conversation without screaming at each other(unfortunately difficult to find these days)! The food is consistently excellent, nicely presented and ample in quantity. The service is excellent and the presence of the owners intermingled with the wait staff offer a comfortable home like atmosphere. It's one of my favorites!
We are regulars...love the owners..and tha ambiance ..and the food...always consistent ..and fun. Claustrophobic ..like front room downstairs..not the back!
Pittsburgh has quite a few very good Italian restaurants. Joseph Tambellini's is a step above. The food, the wine list and the desserts are outstanding. I recommend the first floor dining room for a quainter, quieter evening.
It was my wife and I first visit there and we really enjoyed it. The food was excellent ! And the service was the best we had in the burgh. The bar is small but doesn't seem to be a problem most just go there for the dinning experience. I know it's a Italian restaurant but a had a steak and it was delicious and so was my wife fish. It's a must try.
Went for my 28th anniversary so we went for broke. We ordered drinks, appetizer, main entree, and two desserts. Two people approx. $200. Would make a great one of a kind gift !
Everything about the evening was perfect! The choice of table, the excellent waitress, the fabulous food and the visits from Joe and Melissa all made it the right choice for our birthday celebration!
Cocktails were great to start, my bf had the carmel-tini which was pretty amazing! The calamari appetizer was good but pretty standard. I had the NY Strip (evening's special) and it tasted great and was prepared as ordered. Seafood Melissa that my bf had was also good but nothing special. Desserts were amazing, we had the butterscotch pound cake and creme brûlée. I'll definitely go back. It was a nice touch that the chef/owner, came by the table to check on us.
From the moment you walk through the door, you know this will be an experience to remember. Smiles warmly greeted us to the white-tableclothed elegance within. Every single guest was greeted, and treated, like family! Friendly is nice, but HOW ABOUT THE FOOD?! Spectacular. Don't miss the escarole and beans...superb! Veal dishes? Not to be missed. Housemade pastas, the BEST meatballs in town, lovely jumbo lump crab salad, a seafood section befitting the best restaurants on the Eastern Shore, a stellar wine list, a dessert menu (including cannolis!)...I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, the elegant setting, outstanding cuisine and very fine staff elevated Italian comfort food to new, and very welcome heights. Thanks, Chef Joe!
Good management in any business starts at the top. Joseph Tambellini's exhibits the devotion to detail that speaks well of the credentials and values of the very personable owner/chef. There are many reviews complimenting the consistently excellent food. Yes, the meatballs ARE that good, as are the stuffed banana peppers, the beans and greens, the veal chops, etc. But what impresses is the apparent love that Joseph has for his enterprise. He cares that the service is professional, he cares that his patrons feel welcome, he cares about a quiet dining room where his guests can talk and enjoy each other. We were there for the first time and left at the end of the evening feeling like old friends. That is a talent that brings people back.
The restaurant was outstanding! Loved everything about it and was one of the best meals I ever had. Can't wait to go back!
Everything was very good and extremely satisfying. Its a treat that I find reasons to get in the neighborhood and take the time to dine there
Went for a birthday in the family. We were seated right away. The wine list was on an iPad which was novel and the list was a good size. The fried zucchini was delicious as an appetizer. We had a taste of the meatballs which were delicious and reminded us of our grandmothers. Everyone enjoyed their meal very much. The meal was a bit expensive, $50/person, but we were all pleased with our meals. Overall, the entrees were very good, but not exceptional which is why I gave it 4 stars. Also, as the upper room got crowded, it did get loud.
Great food. Ordered an appitizer special that had the most incredible mozzarella. With a group and we all had different dishes and each of us raved about our meals. Terrific meatballs, don't skip out of ordering some.
One of our favorite spots in Pittsburgh; Tambellini's food, service, and ambience never disappoints. Food was plenty, so flavorful, cooked to perfection, and came out hot. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and obviously portrays a woman's touch. Is a bit pricey for pasta dishes but worth every penny!
We love this restaurant and we love Mike! Food Is always great and the Tambelinis are always Present and asking for feedback!
I hear that the food is some of the best in Pittsburgh and I was not disappointed.
Every time I come here, I am reminded why I think it is the best restaurant in Pittsburgh. Just amazing food, service, and ambience.
The best Meatballs and Eggplant in Pittsburgh Always consistent food quality and service
The food was great however when you pay $9 or more for a glass of wine I would like the glass to be more than 1/3 full. It was basically two mouthfuls.
Absolutely fabulous food -- Joey (Joseph) came upstairs and talked with us and was very accommodating as to different diner's requests for food preparation.
Joseph and wife make you feel special that you stopped in to eat. The food and staff were great. You will enjoy the conversation at your table and if you are real lucky your neighbor table may also share some fun. Take time to enjoy.
I found the perfect place to have my anniversary dinner, I was very pleased with the whole dining experience. I have nothing but good things to say about Joseph Tambellini and his staff i definitely will be eating there again.
I have eaten here three times in the last month. I have had the same experience each time. Outstanding food, but overshadowed by unprofessional (unaware?) details which should never happen at a restaurant of this caliber. All three times we have walked in to an overcrowded area with a disorganized and unattentive greeter (if anyone at all). The computer screen faces you just as you walk in, and twice a person has been standing at it and paid no attention to people walking in, even those with reservations. All three times we have ordered drinks just as we were seated; each the drinks have taken almost fifteen minutes to arrive at the table with the waiters saying "I am sorry, the bar is really backed up."
I cannot believe how few people know about this gem. I have only been to Joseph Tambellini's a few times because the prices are out of my budget, but if I could I would eat there everyday. The food is delicious and the ambiance is spectacular. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone.
We were a group of six and had a great time. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was wonderful. I think I speak for the whole group when I say we would definitely recommend this restaurant!
I frequent this restaurant and that should be a sufficient assessment! It's definitely a neighborhood gem; if I had to look for a complaint(and I'd really have to search) it's that they now charge $2. for cheese added on the salad!! I had an out own guest and it remains my favorite "in the area" restaurant to take visitors.
Everything was great...food, service, atmosphere. Go hungry because all courses have tasty options and are good sized. The staff is very friendly and you will feel like a welcome guest.
My husband recently took me to dinner at this restaurant. The food was very good - he had the salmon special and loved it. I had the chicken and shrimp - also very good. Dessert was incredible - coffee was good. The wine was good but expensive. Overall - a very good night!
I do not know what a "dining experience" is but what I do know is that Joseph Tambellini restaurant is one of the great restaurants in Pittsburgh. Located in an out-of-the-way neighborhood it has the rare combination of excellent menu selection, great food, superior service, and an extensive but fairly priced wine list. The Owners/Chef also pay specific attention to their guests and assures that all is good to the guests' satisfaction. This is not a chain restaurant but an outstanding restaurant that focuses on and achieves high quality in all aspects.
Missy & Joe know how to make their customers feel like family. The food is awesome and the personal touch is unreal. Best location for a dinner in Pgh!

On the Ground Running: My Volunteer Vacation in WA

Because Gemma is from the United Kingdom, the harms of DOMA immediately hit the couple hard. "Every day we were together felt like it was interrupted by a ticking time bomb. Every day, there was that fear of losing each other. It took a huge emotional toll on us and made everything ten times harder," Jessica said.

Vegas favors 49ers in Super Bowl
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 10:51 p.m.
If the Baltimore Ravens become Super Bowl champions, they'll have to beat the odds again to do it.
Bookmakers in Las Vegas mostly have the San Francisco 49ers 4.5-point favorites over the Ravens, amid expectations this could be the heaviest-bet title game ever.
"It's a monster matchup, brother versus brother," William Hill oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro said. "I believe it will top last year's Super Bowl handle and could go higher."
Some sports books didn't wait until the clock ran out in the Ravens win. At the LVH sports book, a line favoring the 49ers by 4.5 points was put up just before the 2-minute warning.
"We've got money coming in as we speak, it looks like it will be good on both sides," said LVH book director Jay Kornegay. "These teams mirror each other, but the 49ers are a bit more sexy now than the Ravens."
At William Hill, which operates 75 betting parlors in Nevada, oddsmakers opened the game with the 49ers a 5-point favorite, as did some other books. But it was quickly bet down to 4.5 points, a line that seemed to be holding in the early betting.
"We had what I consider a large bet come in at 5 points and moved down from there," said Vaccaro, who said he believes the line will hold between 4 and 4.5 points until close to the day of the game.
Baltimore already is the first underdog of more than a touchdown to win both the division and championship playoff rounds. The Ravens were 7.5-point underdogs to the Patriots before beating them 28-13 to win the AFC title game.
"The Ravens are the hot team now but they're not getting a lot of support from the public," Kornegay said. "These are very similar teams, both can run the ball well, play smash mouth football and have two quarterbacks playing very good football."Last year's game between the New York Giants and the Patriots drew $93.9 million in wagers in Nevada, just under the record $94.5 million in 2006 when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-10. Those who follow the industry closely say hundreds of millions of dollars — possibly billions — will be bet on the game by the time the offshore sports books and illegal bookmakers take in their share.
Like the LVH, some books in Las Vegas opened the game at 4.5 points, while others put their number up at 5. Most of the major Las Vegas sports books were at 4.5 points, with a few listing the 49ers at 4 points Sunday night.
The over/under, where bettors can wager on whether the two teams will combine for more or less points than the posted number, was at 49 points at most books.
Point spreads fluctuate on games, especially the most heavily bet ones, according to how much oddsmakers take on each team. A big bet on one team can sometimes send a line moving a half point one way or another, though most movement normally takes place in the days just before the game.
Nevada oddsmakers also post hundreds of proposition bets on the game, everything from who will win the coin flip to which quarterback will have more passing yards. Those bets aren't expected to be posted fully until later in the week.
Vaccaro said the proximity of the 49ers to Nevada should boost betting on the game.
Casinos have lost once only once on the Super Bowl the last 10 years, in 2008 when bettors gambled $92 million and casinos lost $2.57 million as the Giants beat New England, 17-14.

MONTPELIER — The Vermont House has advanced a proposal to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The bill would allow a court to order the forfeiture of state or municipal employee or teacher pensions if a former employee is convicted of fraud or embezzlement.
Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a person's last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN This Just InMore debate over new town office/gym.

Comments about UNDER ARMOUR Women's Armour Bra Protegee - DD Cup:
This UA line is FAR superior in construction, fit, stitching and quality than most sports bras out there. A great buy for those needing larger cup sizes without sacrificing support (even without a wire), especially good if you're looking for one with cup sizes and for larger busted women's fit; fits a bit snug around back (as most sports bras do) so I would recommend one size larger than bra back size if you don't like that tight feeling; cup size accurate fit; only con is that this particular style only comes in racerback and does not have wire support for larger cups. UA does make another style similar (with wire) to this which is also available and great for D+ cups. Highly recommend.

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
By the looks of it, On-Again / Off-Again MTV Jersey Shore Couple Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi Giancola are definitely On Again.
The two were seen leaving Day 2 of MTV's Spring Break at the Palms holding hands, and getting into the back of a Black SUV together… with Ronnie holding the door open for Sammi and errythang. Chivalry Shore !!
But, is this just something that's only going to Stay in Vegas ?? I'm pretty sure the whole world would like to see these two either stay together, or finally call it quits. Our emotions can't handle all these ups and downs.
If I wanted Roller Coasters, I'd go to Six Flags Magic Mountain. It's only a 45 minute drive from Tinseltown.

Hair, makeup artists on shaky job foundation

This bimonthly magazine profiles successful Central Ohio women and delivers the latest in fashion, shopping, beauty, home decor and more.
Above: Anna Torosyan, left, and Leanna Mkhitaryan tour vintage makeup stations during a party for Local 706 in Los Angeles. Left: Terrell Simon, a member of the Local 706 guild, shows his pride.
LOS ANGELES — The shrimp was piled high. Corks from bottles of pink champagne were popping. And the setting — the Hollywood Museum in the original Max Factor studio off Hollywood Boulevard — gave the night an air of mildewy glamour.
But many of the hundreds of men and women who gathered on a November evening to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the makeup artists' and hairstylists' guild (aka Local 706) were feeling less than bubbly as they milled around photographs of Marilyn Monroe before she was blond, and gowns from The Good Wife.
"A lot of people here are out of work," said Jeffrey Fetzer, a hair-and-makeup artist.
Now, in the thick of red-carpet season (including tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards), much attention is paid to the supposedly alluring business of grooming stars on-screen and off. And, indeed, there was a time when sculpturing a star's hair into the perfect beach wave or contouring winglike cheekbones was a prized job. There was the proximity to A-list actors and actresses, the adrenaline-fueled commotion of a movie set or TV show, and decent paychecks.
But many of those who work on most of the major feature films, TV shows and theater productions here find that it's a struggle to get by. Movie and TV production has been fleeing to other states that offer tax breaks.
Hourly rates have also taken a beating and can dip below $20 on low-budget productions, said Tommy Cole, a business representative for the guild. As a result, many members "work more for benefits than for wages," he said, and stylists are having to reinvent themselves as "Johnny and Janes of all trades."
"I recommend to some of our artists: Please, find something that you can work on the side," Cole said. "Have something to fall back on."
Union members are heeding the advice.
"Yes, absolutely, oh my gosh," said Melanie Mills, a makeup artist who won an Emmy for her work on Dancing With the Stars, when asked whether she did anything on the side. "I run fashion shows. I'll do a wedding — anything."
But Mills' main extracurricular project is her makeup line, Gleam by Melanie Mills, which she said she operates "out of my garage."
"A lot of people create product lines on the side, trying to become a Bobbi Brown or a Laura Mercier," she said.
Kelly O'Leary, a 37-year-old makeup artist who has worked on True Blood, said she also models and does stunt work.
"You can't make enough, no," solely as a makeup artist, she said. "I've even considered finishing my biology degree and pursuing something more stable."
Things were not always this grim, said Cole, a former child actor and Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeer who started as a makeup artist in 1965.
"I'd get on a job for a week, two weeks, I'd get three jobs offered while I was on the job," he said. "And I'd give them to my friends or compadres who I knew would do a good job."
Granted, there is still good money in primping celebrities for premieres and awards shows; for this, makeup artists and hairstylists don't need to be part of the union. And certain stars retain " personals" for rather comfortable salaries.
But even then, there is no such thing as job security. Scott Barnes, who was Jennifer Lopez's makeup artist for almost a decade, has publicly discussed being fired when he was suspected of leaking gossip about the star. (He and Lopez have since reconciled.)
Sheryl Blum, a hairstylist and industry veteran whose credits include The Hunger Games, said she has no complaints about finding work. "I've done OK."
Michele Payne, a fellow hairstylist, noted: "That's because we work in groups, which helps — like cliques."

When the programmer is forced to handle return codes

If you get a signal, it means someone wants the process to be killed anyway, so might as well get on with it.
Posted Dec 5, 2009 21:35 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
(Obviously you actually have helpers that do it. You don't repeat the code everywhere, that'd be disgusting)
Posted Dec 5, 2009 22:47 UTC (Sat) by cras (guest, #7000) [Link]
I've gotten rid of alarm()s in (most of) my code and there are no child processes, so I'd think close()s are pretty safe to do without looping.. And with NFS I first fsync/fdatasync first anyway, so close probably shouldn't fail anyway. Unless it can fail with EINTR even when it doesn't have to write anything?.. That would seem almost like a bug.
Posted Dec 6, 2009 0:05 UTC (Sun) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
So I guess you know what happens in Linux when close() fails with EINTR (with NFS)? It won't close the fd and it should be retried?
Since you have to loop for write()/read() anyway, looping for close() as well is hardly a killer. (And, yes, I would rather that -EINTR would die die die as fast as possible, but unfortunately it is not dead so we have to deal with it.)
