In Hero Academy, if I lose one of my units and step over him in the next turn (so I save him), do I also save any equipment he's carrying? Or, is the equipment lost, but the hero is saved?
Take the tour
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Both the unit and the equipment are lost when you stomp your own unit. If you want to save the unit and equipment you'll need to revive them with a healer or an item that has that ability. | |||
Stepping over a unit that is "knocked out" does nothing to the unit. When a unit is "knocked out" they retain all their power-ups and equipment. If they are revived on that turn, there is no loss at all. If they are not revived on that turn, the unit and all of their equipment is lost. Reviving is different for each race of heroes. The only offensive bonus I know of given for a downed unit is for the "Tribe" race. When one of their units is "stomped" by the other team, every "Tribe" hero is given an offensive bonus. | ||||

I had a very enjoyable stay at this Hostel and highly recomend it to my fellow travelers. The staff was highly motivated to ensure thatt my stay there was memorable and without complications. They were very valuable in assisting me with travel plans to local attractions including the beautiful Hot Springs in the area. I would definitely return for an additional visit!

There is a serious moisture problem here. The room I was in smelled like a crawlspace and every morning I woke up to a stuffy nose and swollen sinuses- a sign that there is mold or standing moisture somewhere in the structure. Great location though- just 1 1/2 blocks from the main square and a short taxi ride to the bus for San Vicente.

We are not used to rate hostels so low. But we think people need to be informed that : - the breakfast is NOT included (please revise hostel facilities presentation on hostelworld) - coffee may be free, yet you still have to do it yourself - the kitchen is in a filthy state, and it was strange since we were the only clients

HOW TO: Using a Harmony Remote to control XBMC, Hulu Desktop and Netflix (Windows Media Center)
I did a lot of research and tinkering to find a way to control a htpc and switch between different media applications only using the remote and trying to make it as user friendly as possible. I needed this to pass the wife acceptance test - W.A.T. for short
Below is a video of the solution I came up with. For the most part, a very seamless integration of XBMC, Hulu Desktop, and Netflix using the Windows Media Center plugin. I also threw Boxee on there after this video was shot.
I only have a dual core Athlon II X2 2.65 ghz so one of the challenges was making sure only one application was running at a time because having two of them running at once really taxed the cpu.
1) Software
- XBMC (http://xbmc.org/)
- Hulu Desktop
- Windows Media Center with Netflix Plugin
- WinHotKey (http://directedge.us/content/winhotkey)
- AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com)
2) Harmony Remote Control
3) A RC6 capable receiver
1) Harmony Remote Setup - Im not going to go through the whole setup process for the Harmony Remote. Go here to read full instructions:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=77519. One caveat, I had to also add a device called "Microsoft Windows Media Center" as a device to get the htpc to turn off and on. I am also posting my button mapping for the Harmony remote. I have found these to be a good mix to allow use in all three major applications. These keys are optimized for XBMC, so some of the special ones only pertain to XBMC. Lastly, make sure to change the power settings on your htpc to sleep when the power button is pushed.
2) Create a bat file to launch directly to the Netflix plugin in Windows Media center. Open up Notepad in Windows and type:
Start windowsmediacenterapp:{e6f46126-f8a9-4a97-9159-b70b07890112}\{982ea9d3-915c-4713-a3c8-99a4688b7c59}?EntryPointParameters=
Save the file as netflix.bat (or whatever you want). Just make sure it is saved as a .bat file.

3) Create the AutoHotKey scripts. AutoHotKey is a neat little utility that allows you to write custom scripts that do things when executed. I only scratched the surface on what it can do. The idea is to have a script executed that will launch a certain application, maximize the windows of that application, and kill any of the other major applications in the background. For example, when I execute the Netflix script, it will first check to see if NetFlix is already running and if so, focus on it and maximize the window. Otherwise, it will launch the bat file above in step 2 and then look for XBMC and Hulu and see if they are running. If they are, they kill them in the background. The same thing is done for XBMC except it looks to kill Netflix (Windows Media Center) and Hulu. Please note, all examples below also include Boxee in the kill process. All scripts are written in Note Pad and saved as a .ahk file.
Script for XBMC: Quote:IfWinExist XBMC Script for Netflix: Quote:IfWinExist Windows Media Center Script for Hulu: Quote:IfWinExist Hulu Desktop Note: Make sure that .ahk files are associated with AutoHotKey. I had issues downloading and installing AutoHotKey so let me know if you need help here. 4) Set Windows to auto start your preferred application. For me that application is XBMC. Go to Start > All Programs > Right click on the Startup folder and select "Explore for all users". This will open a Windows Explorer box of the Startup folder. Copy one of your AutoHotKey scripts to this folder. This way when Windows starts, the script to launch, say XBMC, is triggered. 5) Setup WinHotKey to map a specific keyboard key to launching your scripts. For me I used F8-F11. Make sure you uncheck "When I press these keys:" so that ONLY the F keys are needed to be pushed in order to trigger the launch command. Im not sure if the Harmony remote can do custom key presses like windows key + F10 which is why I have this unchecked. In the dropdown for "I want WinHotKey to:" choose 'Open a Document'. Make sure that whatever keys you select here to launch your scripts is mapped to the same custom keys on your Harmony Remote. |

Great tut. Thanks for taking the time to help!
I'd just say to folks that try and use the online Harmony software, it might be a little more confusing and have a few minor discrepancies. I'd recommend downloading the 7.7.0 software if it's available for your OS and give it a go. I used it on my Harmony 650 just yesterday. |

The FTC's monthly newsletter for the Congressional community
It's the news you - and your constituents - can use.
Volume 8- Number 12
STOLEN HOPE. FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, Sen. Harry Reid, Catherine Cortez Masto, the Nevada Attorney General, and Tony West, the Assistant AG for the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, announced Operation Stolen Hope, part of a continuing crackdown on mortgage foreclosure and loan modification scams. The operation includes 118 actions by 26 federal and state agencies, including six new FTC lawsuits, which brings the number of FTC's mortgage relief cases to 28. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/stolenhope.shtm.
BLUE HIPPO. The FTC has asked a federal court to issue a contempt order against BlueHippo, a company that promised to provide financing for people to purchase new computers. The FTC alleges that, in violation of a 2008 order, BlueHippo collected more than $15 million but didn't deliver the financing or the computers. According to the FTC, less than one percent of those who signed up with BlueHippo got the financed computers; "store credits" were rigged to discourage people from using them. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/bluehippo.shtm.
SPAM GANG. At the request of the FTC, a federal judge has ordered the mastermind of a vast international spam network to pay more than $15 million for his role in perhaps the largest "spam gang" in the world. According to the FTC, Lance Atkinson, the spam gang ringleader, and Jody Smith, his accomplice, recruited spammers from around the world to send billions of emails to deceptively market products --- male-enhancement pills, prescription drugs, and weight-loss pills --- in violation of federal law. In addition to the $15 million that Atkinson and his company have been ordered to pay, the three companies affiliated with Smith are liable for $3.77 million. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/herbalkings.shtm.
ONLINE CHECK WRITING. The FTC has charged the operators of an Internet-based check creation and delivery service with violating a 2009 court order. The FTC has asked the court to impose a daily fine or imprisonment to make Neovi, Inc., its principals and affiliates stop their illegal actions, compensate affected customers, and give up their ill-gotten gains. According to the FTC, the defendants allowed people to create and email checks via the Internet without verifying their identities or their authority to withdraw money from the accounts they were using. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/neovi.shtm.
RECHARGED. The FTC has set conditions for Panasonic Corporation's proposed $9 billion merger of Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. The FTC charged that the merger would reduce competition for the portable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries used by police and fire departments in two-way radios. The FTC's order requires Panasonic to sell its portable NIMH assets to FDK Corporation, a subsidiary of Fujitsu, Ltd. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/sanyo.shtm.
BROKER CHANGE. The FTC ruled that a Michigan realtor group had reduced competition and harmed consumers when it restricted access to discount realtors' listings on its multiple listing service (MLS). The Commission found that Realcomp II improperly limited homebuyers' access to information about homes offered by brokers who accepted lower or flat-rate commissions on home sales. The FTC order requires Realcomp to provide all its members with non-discriminatory access to non-traditional and lower-priced listings on its MLS and to stop preventing such listings from being sent to its public real estate sites. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/realcomp.shtm.
COMMENTS: FREE CREDIT REPORT. The Commission will accept comments on its recently issued proposal to amend the "Free Credit Report Rule" until December 7. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/11/freeannual.shtm.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING ON A BUDGET. Tips for creating and sticking to a budget, shopping holiday sale ads, and learning about layaway plans. 8.5"x11", 2 pages.
The following events, which are free and open to the public, will be held at the FTC Conference Center at 601 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC. No pre-registration required. A live webcast of each will be available at www.ftc.gov.
FUTURE OF NEWS MEDIA. The FTC will hold a workshop on Dec. 1-2 about the future of the news media in the internet age, titled "From Town Criers to Bloggers: How Will Journalism Survive the Internet Age?" Participants, including journalists, representatives of news and new media organizations, privacy experts, direct marketers, online advertisers, academics, and consumer advocates will examine the economics of journalism, possible business and non-profit models for news organizations, the role of targeted behavioral and other online advertising, and whether any government actions might be advisable, such as changes in the tax code, or additional copyright protection or limited antitrust exemptions. For more information and to comment, visit www.ftc.gov/opp/workshops/news/index.shtml.
MERGER GUIDELINES. The FTC and U.S. Department of Justice are seeking public comments and will hold five joint public workshops to explore the possibility of updating the Horizontal Merger Guidelines that are used by both agencies to evaluate the potential competitive effects of mergers and acquisitions. The first workshop will be held December 3. For more information, visit www.ftc.gov/bc/workshops/hmg/index.shtml.
DEBT COLLECTION. The FTC will host a roundtable December 4 to discuss protections for people who are being sued by debt collectors. State court judges, government officials, debt buyers and collectors, consumer attorneys and advocates, academics, and other stakeholders will discuss service of process, consumer default rates, time-barred debts, evidentiary requirements in collection actions, and post-judgment issues. For more information, visit www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/debtcollectround/index.shtm.
PRIVACY ROUNDTABLES. The FTC will host a series of public roundtables to explore the privacy challenges posed by social networking, cloud computing, online behavioral advertising, mobile marketing, and the collection and use of information by retailers, data brokers, third-party applications, and other businesses. Participants — academics, privacy experts, consumer advocates, industry participants and others — will discuss the risks and benefits of information collection and use in online and offline contexts, consumer expectations surrounding various information management practices, and the adequacy of existing regimens to address privacy interests. The first roundtable will be held December 7. For information, visit www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/privacyroundtables/index.shtml.
SIZING UP. The FTC will host a public forum December 15 about food marketing and childhood obesity. Industry representatives, federal regulators, consumer groups, scientific researchers, and legal scholars will discuss current research on the impact of food advertising on children, and the statutory and constitutional issues surrounding governmental regulation of food marketing. For more information, visit www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/sizingup/index.shtml.
If you don't want to pay with plastic and you don't have the necessary cash on hand, you may want to ask a merchant about a layaway plan. When you use layaway, you typically put down a deposit, and pay over time; the retailer holds the merchandise for you, until you have paid for the item in full. Layaway plans are not limited to brick and mortar stores. Some online merchants offer them — even for items like tickets to sporting events, travel or surgery. The FTC says doing a little research on the front end can help you avoid problems later. When checking out a layaway plan:
- Get the merchant's layaway policy in writing. Look for details on how much time you have to pay for the goods, any service fees, and what happens if you're late with a payment.
- What's the refund policy? If you decide you don't want the merchandise, can you get all or some of your money back?
- Check out the business. Are there any complaints filed against them? Contact your local state Attorney General's office (www.naag.org), local consumer protection agency (http://consumeraction.gov), your local Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org), and online sources.
- Keep good records. They may come in handy if there's a problem with the seller.

P.I. celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month
While each October brings with it blustery weather and an outpouring of support for Breast Cancer Awareness, this month also celebrates a cause near and dear to the hearts of many Newton residents: National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This initiative strives to emphasize the skills and contributions that those with disabilities of any degree can offer to their local communities.
Progress Industries serves as a prime example of the support system available to individuals with disabilities in Newton as well as a large facilitator in helping these individuals find employment.
P.I., which opened its doors in 1979, offers a variety of programs, classes and workshops, all aimed at enabling those with disabilities to integrate themselves into the community in whatever capacity they are able. While decades ago, P.I. was comprised solely of a workshop where clients could complete contracted work in a safe environment, P.I.'s services have evolved exponentially since — as has Newton's awareness of the services the organization offers.

Protect your pillows from damage with a pillow protector specially designed to fit Tempur-Pedic® pillows. The dual layers prevent liquids from damaging your pillow, as well as protect against stains.
Best pillow protector nice and smooth.
The pillow protector is essential. It keeps moisture from your body out of the pillow. In order for foam pillows and mattresses to perform properly, they need to have proper air flow through the cells of the foam.
I used my Tempur pillows and mattress for years without these protectors. After I installed protectors on the mattress and pillows, I saw a dramatic marked improvement in the performance of the pillows and mattress. Their support capability is MUCH better when you prevent moist air from getting into them.
The pillow protector and mattress protector product do exactly what they are supposed to do, and they add a great deal of value to the performance of the products.
this item is a non-refundable.
to least say, purchase these in case that i wanted to use them in the even of not having the right size pillow cover.
do not purchase if you are not sure about the size.
I bought the Tempur-Traditional Pillow and it came with a free offer for this pillow protector. I am very happy with it. It fits the pillow perfectly and isn't noisey at all. Works like a charm.

Informing Government
ZSL provides science-based information on the status and trends of the world's species and ecosystems. We use this information to inform society and policy makers of the magnitude of the current environmental crises and to enable effective priorities to be set and solutions identified.
GLOBE International
Ecosystem degradation is one of the greatest challenges we face, putting people and wildlife at risk. Therefore, it is more important than ever for scientists to engage effectively with policymakers.
ZSL act as scientific advisors to GLOBE International, a forum of senior cross-party parliamentarians from G8+5 countries, on terrestrial and marine issues. Find out more about the work of GLOBE
National Red Lists
International targets set for reducing biodiversity loss may still be achieved with the help of a new online conservation tool.
The new initiative led by ZSL brings together information on the world's threatened species and demonstrates that we know the least about the status of animals and plants in areas where diversity is greatest. Find out more on the National Red List website
UN Conferences on Sustainable Development: Rio+20
ZSL took part in Rio +20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. A major theme of the conference was the green economy - the intersection between the environment and economy, and how this can be developed to safeguard a sustainable future.
UN Convention on Biodiversity
The UN Convention on Biological Diversity
(CBD) is an international agreement aiming to conserve global biological diversity through sustainable and equitable use of natural genetic resources.
ZSL attended the 2010 CBD conference in Nagoya, Japan, to communicate the current state of biodiversity and put forward practical solutions for communities, business and government to address biodiversity loss. We launched four key reports directly related to the CBD aims of post-2010 goals and mainstreaming biodiversity across sectors. Find out more about ZSL at Nagoya
Marine reserves Coalition
In 2011, ZSL and partners formed the Marine Reserves Coalition to advance the creation of fully protected marine reserves, closed to all potentially damaging activities.
There are far fewer protected areas in the sea than on land, despite the inclusion of marine protection in many international policy targets. We hope to change that, starting with calling on the UK Government to commit to establishing representative networks of marine reserves in UK territories.

Markbass' top-selling bass preamp and a quality B&C woofer combine for exceptional power and pop.
The Markbass CMD 121H is a bass combo amplifier that delivers incredible, professional-quality sound in a compact, easy-to-manage package. Less than 2' wide or tall, and under 40 pounds, the CMD 121H provides an amazingly large amount of power with its 12" B&C woofer with a 1" compression driver with custom horn. This is due in part to the excellent design of the speaker, and the way the cabinet was built to protect the integrity of your sound.
But the CMD121H amps's sound is also increased by the built-in presence of the Little Mark II solid state preamp. It gives you a 4-band EQ, Markbass' own VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) and VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) filters, and the ability to hook up to an extension cab for even more room-filling sound.
Versatile tone, exceptional power, compact cab. What more could you want? Order today!

I would like everyone's thoughts on these cycles
Superdrol ng
Formadrol Extreme
Liquid Masterdrol
Methyl Masterdrol V2
milk thistle
jungle warefare
methyl 1d
Formadrol Extreme
Liquid Masterdrol
Methyl Masterdrol V2
milk thistle
i dont understand why take mmv2 and liquid masterdrol i thought they are the same thing?
these would be ran at high doses thus making mmv2 and lm ran during the same cycle 2 weeks for each.I just thought it would be a little different than running normal the same type of mast throughout.
sorry maybe this will make a little more sense of how the dream cycles would work
Superdrol ng-run for 4 weeks
havoc-run-for 4 weeks
(pct)Formadrol Extreme--run for 4 weeks
Liquid Masterdrol-run for 2 weeks
Methyl Masterdrol V2-run for 2 weeks
(pct)T-bol--run for 4 weeks
milk thistle--run for 4 weeks
jungle warefare--run for 4 weeks
methyl 1d--run for 4 weeks
(pct)Formadrol Extreme--run for 4 weeks
Liquid Masterdrol-run for 2 weeks
Methyl Masterdrol V2-run for 2 weeks
(pct)T-bol--run for 4 weeks
milk thistle--run for 4 weeks
Bit to much in there in my opinion. Keep it simple when doing Ph's. Superdrol NG doesn't really appeal to me either.
Liquid masterdrol and mmv2 together is not really worth doing... they are the same. Pick one or the other.
Run havoc +mmv2, then PCT with T911 + AS.
Tell us what you have bought already though.
The first cycle is superior to the second, but still needs some major work
First, as far as dhea based supps go, M1D is far superior to Superdrol NG.
Second, with yohimbine already in the methyl masterdrol series you should not stack it with superdrol ng which has more yohimbine.
Third, NAC is superior to milk thistle for liver protection.
Fourth, no need for T-Bol or any natty test booster, or formadrol extreme while on cycle, use both for pct if you wish.
Lastly, if using both MMv2 and liquid masterdrol I suggest this dosing plan: 3 caps MMv2 spread throughout the day on none workout days, and 1 serving liquid masterdrol preWO on lifting days.
There is also no need for havoc in this stack unless you are an advanced PH/AAS user.
I hope this helps, because your on the right track, but need a little direction.

Advanced Business Acquisitions Attend Bowl a Thon to Raise Money for Operation Smile
San Jose, CA, September 09, 2011 –(PR.com)– Advanced Business Acquisitions, Inc. joins local companies to help raise money for Operation Smile. Members of the company attended a locally hosted Bowl-A-Thon to raise money for the charity.
Advanced Business Acquisitions is a sales and marketing firm located in San Jose, CA. The company specializes in acquiring and retaining clients. One of the main clients at Advanced Business Acquisitions is an American multinational telecommunications corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The client is the largest provider of mobile telephony and fixed telephony in the United States, and is also a provider of broadband and subscription television services.
Operation Smile is a charity organization healing children with deformed cleft palates. Founded in 1982, the charity organization is a mobilized force of medical professionals who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.
Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft which often causes them to be unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected and often times, their parents cannot afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. According to the Operation Smile organization, since inception, through the help of medical volunteers, the organization has provided more than 2 million patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. The organization currently has a presence in over 60 countries.
Advanced Business Acquisitions has attended several Operation Smile charity events including the Smile Gala in New York City, a charity poker tournament and a community BBQ. The recent Bowl-A-Thon was held at the San Jose State Bowling Center. Members paid a donation to play and compete. All profits were given to Operation Smile.
"Operation Smile has been such an inspiring organization to be able to work with. I am proud to be able to be a part of an organization that makes such a strong impact on so many people. Our team is very dedicated to giving back and Operation Smile is one of the organizations the whole team has become very passionate about," explains Julie Strait, President of Advanced Business Acquisitions, Inc.
Advanced Business Acquisitions is expanding this year and plans to continue to contribute to the charity as the company grows. More information about the volunteer work Advanced Business Acquisitions does can be found on the company website.

text: BARRIE - It's a sweet May-to-November relationship. Ford Canada's test-drive fundraiser, Drive 4UR School, wraps up Nov. 15 in Barrie, with cars from Douglas Ford Lincoln filling the parking lot at Portage View Public School. "Ford and Douglas have given over $17,000 to Barrie schools," said Felix Kadlec, the fundraising initiative's coordinator. A 10-minute test drive nets a school $20, and on a busy day, the campaign can raise up to $6,000, he explained. "We had 345 test drives at St. Peter's," he said. "Every school that has done one this year has asked to do one next year." At Ardagh Bluffs Public School Oct. 26, falling temperatures didn't dampen enthusiasm. It's an idea parent council chairperson Jennifer Johnson really liked. "Brand-new schools don't come with signs. They put in the electrical for it. We want some way to communicate with parents and we've heard (signs) cost anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000. It's a communication tool to engage parents," said Johnson. The drive-a-Ford is a simple but effective way to get money in the bank. "There are no chocolate almonds going home. It's a quick 10-minute drive and the school gets $20. It's great," she said. If someone buys a car within a year, the school benefits even more, with another $150 payment. The purchaser also qualifies for a $300 discount. At Portage View, the fundraiser would support upgrading technology – including purchasing SMART boards and computers – as well as pay for student agendas, to teach kids how to organize themselves and to enhance communication with parents. More information about the Portage View event can be found online at http://www.facebook.com/events/503626239661318/. Kadlec noted anyone in the community can take a test drive at a school – not just parents or staff. "Portage View is the last one this year," he said, urging people to not miss out. Kadlec can be reached at 705-725-3749.

Bradley Cooper Is a Student of the Tao of DiCaprio ... and Other Absurdities From This Week's Tabloids
By Molly Lambert atStar
Bradley Cooper & Leonardo DiCaprio? "Bradley Cooper is getting a lesson in no-strings-attached hookups from Hollywood's ultimate bachelor, Leonardo DiCaprio! The guys [both are 38 years old] got to know each other during awards season, and Leo took Bradley under his wing. Bradley was moaning about finding Mrs. Right. But Leo told him to chill out and enjoy all the beautiful women. Leo, who has romanced a string of catwalkers, explained his master plan to the Silver Linings Playbook hunk." Leo says, "He's going to date as many supermodels as possible before he's 40, then he'll settle down with a good woman." Ohhh, good for yoooou! "Bradley's been following his pal's advice — good times with no committment."

When calculating damages for future periods ? such as for lost profits, loss of income in wrongful death cases, etc. ? experts are often charged with expressing an opinion as to what would happen in the future but for the wrongful act. These projections typically rely upon either industry trends or on the historical operating results of the injured party. Four of the most commonly used projection conventions when relying upon the operating results of the injured party are: the mean, the median, exponential smoothing and regression analysis. This blog post will define each of these conventions and discuss the pros and cons of each.

Feng Asian Bistro and Lounge
Online Reservations
My husband and I went to Feng for dinner to celebrate his birthday and had a great time. The coktails were great and the sushi was fabulous! The Jalapeno Roll is an absolute must have; so fresh and delicious! The prices are very reasonable. We had a gift certificate to use, and ordered more than we needed to, but with a few drinks, apps, dinners as well as coffee and dessert, the bill was just over $100. Not bad at all. We had a great experience and would suggest it to others.
The dynamite roll and scorpion eel roll to die for and well as the teriyaki steak entree!!! I really recommended!
Sushi was so fresh and great combinations, prices were reasonable and service was excellent. Cocktail specials were impressive. Would definitely come back next time I'm shopping and would love to sit outside!
I was in a training nearby in Sturbridge and all restaurants were closed. I checked Open Table for anything open past 9 and came across this restaurant. I was seated in a booth all to myself and the waitress, Chelsea was friendly and willing to suggest items when I had questions. She made me feel comfortable eating alone and always had a friendly smile on her face. The portions were large and the food was delicious. I am disappointed I will not be in the area again to get a VIP card.
The food was Fantastic! We had a wonderful waiter and he helped us pick out food that was to our liking. Everything was so good! If I had a complaint it was that the menu was confusing for folks like us that don't typically eat this kind of food. It was a bit difficult to figure out how some of the food was prepared. We thought that the prices were resonable for the food quality and would go again-
Sure, the food was good. The portions were ample. But the service. Extraordinary.
Even the basic roll seems special. Bar staff friendly and accommodating.
After being told our table was ready, the hostess said she had made an error so we waited in tbe hall for a few few minutes before they called us back. Service was slow (friday night) but we werent in a rush. Hibachi food was good and plentiful. Chef was mildly entertaining. The place is super-loud but thats to be expected. The one thing about hibachi is that you never know know who you're going to end up sitting with. The 20 - somethings who had their second scorpion bowl served before they got their food and then did the saki shooters by yelling "go, go, go" like they were still hanging out at the sigma chi house were not enjoyable to dine around. But again, I suppose its part of the charm of hibachi.

So this is what the BIG hype was last week, when GOOGLE unveiled their NEW social networking platform Google+…Zuckerberg had announced they were working on a new feature for FaceBook…will this save them from Google+ taking over??? I mean well FACEBOOK become the new MYSPACE??? Is this going to far???
LA TIMES reports — At the announcement, Zuckerberg said the social network (which is the most widely used in the world) has passed 750 million users.
Updated 10:30 a.m.: Zuckerberg just announced that Facebook's new products all have to do with chatting — video calling with Skype, group chatting and a new design for chatting products.
Groups chats will give users the ability to do an "ad-hoc group chat" so they can chat (by text, not video) with a group of friends they create on the fly, Zuckerberg said.
All the new chat features will have a new design that changes depending on how large a user's browser window is — either showing a small chat box for smaller windows, or rolling out a larger vertical list of those available to chat with when a browser window is wider.
"If we can make it so people have the screen width to run normal Facebook and have a buddy list we think that will be very powerful," Zuckerberg said, adding that Facebook is "already one of if not the biggest chat network in the world."
Updated 11:04 a.m.: Zuckerberg said Facebook's video calling feature is powered by the same peer-to-peer technology that powers Skype's current free video calling apps.
Video chats in Facebook will work in the same menus as text chatting, but open a new video window over the top of a user's Facebook session when a call is accepted, he said.
"It's so easy, so minimal to use," Zuckerberg said.
Tony Bates, Skype's CEO, also joined Zuckerberg at the announcement, stating that the company has a goal of reach 1 billion users for its communications products and its partnership with Facebook will help further that.
"Skype's mission has really been to make communications as pervasive and ubiquitous as possible," Bates said. "Obviously this is going to be propelled now with Facebook."
Bates also said Skype's infrastructure should be able to handle the expected load Facebook users will add on the service, noting that the company currently sees its users chatting by video about 300-million minutes a month.
"I think we have a shared vision of what social communication can mean and there's no finer social network to build this on top of," Bates said of Facebook.
Zuckerberg said that it has worked with Skype for about the last 6 months to develop the video calling feature, which was before Microsoft's bid to buy the Internet calling service.
But Microsoft's purchase of Skype, which still needs to be approved by federal regulators, doesn't hurt things a bit as Facebook and Microsoft are have a "really good relationship" with partnerships on ads and now Bing powering search in the social network.

Washington State Parks partners with Seattle Seahawks on boating safety education
Sept. 10, 2013 –
Washington boaters are invited to learn how to boat safely this year and qualify for prizes. The Washington State Parks Boating Safety Program and the Seattle Seahawks are launching a contest to highlight boater education.
Although summer is coming to a close, there are still committed boaters on the water during the fall and winter months. State Parks urges boaters to be prepared, take a boater safety class to enhance their skills and learn how to be safe on the water, get a boater education card and enter to win prizes from the Seattle Seahawks, including a VIP game package. Washington state boaters who take a boater safety class and apply for a boater education card will automatically be entered to win prizes, including an autographed football and autographed replica jersey. The grand prize is a Seahawks VIP game package and includes four tickets to the Dec. 29 Seahawks game at CenturyLink Field, an autographed replica helmet, two adult-sized life jackets and other prizes.
"We encourage everyone to participate in the contest, but the most important thing to do is take a boating safety course. Both novice and experienced boaters alike can benefit from boating safety education," said Don Hoch, State Parks director.
The Boater Education Sweepstakes can be found at www.seahawks.com/boatered. Prize winners will be selected beginning Oct. 7, with the grand prize winner selected on Nov. 7. Winners will be notified by phone or e-mail. No purchase is required to participate in the contest.
The goal of the State Parks Boating Safety Program is to educate and inform the public about the importance of boating safety. The program's main purpose is to increase the public's awareness of safe boating practices and life jacket wear, which helps to decrease the number of boating fatalities and makes Washington's waterways safer for all boaters.
The boater education card is not a license and is mandatory for boaters ages 12 to 50 years when operating motorboats with15 horsepower or greater. In 2014, the card will be required for all boaters. Boaters born on or before Jan. 1, 1955, are exempt from this law.
To get a boater education card, boaters must first take a safety course approved by Washington State Parks in a classroom, online or through a home-study course. Once boaters have taken a class and passed the test, they need to send a completed application, certificate of completion and a one-time $10 fee to State Parks. For more information, visit online at www.boatered.org or contact the Boating Program at (360) 902-8555.
Stay connected to your state parks by following Washington State Parks at www.facebook.com/WashingtonStateParks, www.twitter.com/WAStatePks, www.youtube.com/WashingtonStateParks and www.foursquare.com/WAStatePks.

Friday (F)oto: Banksy
Sometimes there are no words.
We had a dinner party Friday night, hence the delay in my first installment of "Friday (F)oto."
I snapped this one in Ljubljana, Slovenia, my favorite small European city we visited last year–a gem. It took several challenging bus rides from Trieste, Italy to get there, but it was worth it. We walked and biked along the river that snaked through the town's center and marveled at the small artistic gestures: statues, public art installations (including one in which rain fell in one small area of the town); even the phone booths were chic (modern and very Jetson-like).
With the exception of the Metelkova area, graffiti was minimal, especially compared to other cities we visited. The center was pristine and lovely, but the lack of street art robbed me of my hobby of photographing it.
So maybe this question (Where is Banksy when you need him?) was an appropriate one to pose. Either way, it's pretty comical.

Today 10 December
France says most armed groups quit Bangui streets
Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - French troops on Monday began disarming fighters in the Central African Republic to try to restore security after a swell in sectarian violence that claimed hundreds of lives. Bangui was relatively calm after days of fighting involving former Seleka rebels in which nearly 400 people were killed, although the stench of dead bodies still permeated some areas of the capital. The armed men who spread terror on the streets of Bangui had all but disappeared by Monday, and French military spokesman Gilles Jaron said some had already disarmed. France has deployed 1,600 soldiers to the notoriously unstable country, which has plunged into chaos since the Seleka rebels seized power in a March coup, with reports of widespread rape and public killings.
World unites for Mandela memorial
Soweto (South Africa) (AFP) - Huge crowds of grieving South Africans converged on Soweto's World Cup stadium on Tuesday, to sit side-by-side with presidents, priests, queens and sheikhs at a memorial service for unifying global icon Nelson Mandela. Close to 100 world leaders were among 80,000 people expected to cram into the venue in Soweto -- the crucible of Mandela's anti-apartheid struggle -- to bid farewell to a man whose life story earned uncommon universal respect. Wrapped in the South African flags or yellow-green coloured shawls printed with the slogan "Mandela Forever," they danced and jogged towards the stadium entrance, some singing in Zulu: "Mandela is not sleeping, just kneeling." Thousands more were boarding free trains from central Johannesburg, mixing excitedly together on the platform and in the compartments -- men and women of all ages and races.
Security ramped up for Mandela funeral
South African security forces had only days to implement a rough plan for Nelson Mandela's grand funeral, based partly on blueprints of past major events like the 2010 World Cup final. South Africa's first black president had been seriously ill for some time, but his death still posed a major organisational challenge as a small army of world leaders, dignitaries and celebrities asked to attend the state send-off. Security preparations which would normally take months for the likes of US President Barack Obama had to be compressed into a few days. After that, Mandela's body will lie in state for three days in Pretoria before being taken for burial Sunday in his rural boyhood home of Qunu.
Recalling life under apartheid in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — My mother was furious. The operators of the gas station in rural, racist South Africa had taken her money to fill the car, but would not give her the key to the toilets. They were for whites only.
World pays homage to Mandela in mass memorial service
By Stella Mapenzauswa and David Dolan JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - World leaders, from U.S. President Barack Obama to Cuba's Raul Castro, will pay homage to Nelson Mandela at a mass memorial in South Africa on Tuesday that will recall his gift for bringing enemies together across political and racial divides. Obama and Castro, whose countries maintain an ideological enmity lasting more than 50 years, are among the designated orators at a Johannesburg soccer stadium where 23 years earlier Mandela - freshly freed from apartheid jail - was hailed by cheering supporters as the hope for a new South Africa. Coinciding with U.N.-designated Human Rights Day, the memorial service for Mandela in the 95,000-seat Soccer City stadium is the centerpiece of a week of mourning for the globally-admired statesman, who died on Thursday aged 95. Tens of thousands of ordinary South Africans will be joining scores of leaders from across the world to honor a leader whose life of imprisonment and political struggle made him a global symbol of integrity and forgiveness.

How to Treat Veterans in Your Church
How to Treat Veterans in Your Church
This Sunday was only the eighth time, in the 54 years that it has been celebrated, that Veterans Day fell on a Sunday. It was also the first Sunday after a long and vitriolic campaign, so the observance probably passed unnoticed in many pulpits and congregations. But Veterans Day often passes unnoticed in non-election years, too—just as veterans' needs and experiences are often overlooked in churches throughout the year.
Veterans are everywhere; we stand behind you in the grocery store line, sit next to you in class, and worship beside you in church every week. What we have in common with one another is not always the easiest bond to understand. Some say the martial fraternity is made up of courage, tenacity, and strength. To be sure, what I saw in my own combat deployment in 2004 reflected heights of human charity I've failed to witness before or since; soldiers standing in the line of fire for one another, risking their lives for civilians and comrades alike.
But there is another trait we veterans hold tragically in common. In 2009, CBS conducted a study that found over 17 veterans killed themselves every day (they also explain the numbers), a rate higher than any other recorded in our nation's history. More recently, it was found that current members of the United States military were taking their own lives at a rate of one every day, itself another tragic statistical record of epic proportions. Suicide is currently the leading cause of death among our troops, those men and women we ask God to bless.
It is a partial truth to say that the martial fraternity is held together by common virtues. As evidenced by those startling statistics, the other half of that truth is that we hold in common feelings of mental and spiritual despair that can lead to suicidal ideation and self-harm. Just this past Election Day, when we exercised the gift of democratic process that military members of the past helped ensure, 17 veterans and one service member took their own lives. It happened yesterday, the day on which we are called to express our gratitude for their service, a service less than 1 percent of the American population is willing to shoulder. And it will happen again today, as banks and other offices continue to observe Veterans Day.
As Christians, we have a dual call; not just to recognize people for their good deeds but to help reconcile people to their loving Creator. Pastors, priests, and other religious leaders who have been called to ministry have veterans in their midst and must minister to their unique needs. Here are some ideas, from a veteran who has seen both successes and failures. Some all of them might not translate directly to your own congregation, but I hope they germinate and sprout more ideas.
1.Do not "out" veterans in your congregation.To honor the veterans in your congregation, think twice before asking veterans to stand during the service. To be sure, military service is to be celebrated. But much of it also needs to be mourned; doing the things that must be done in war takes a heavy emotional and spiritual toll. By asking veterans to identify themselves, you risk exposing wounds that need tending, not just heroes who deserve to be celebrated. Listen carefully to your congregation and discern care individually; what works for one veteran (like being recognized for their service) can be harmful for another (who might have had to commit necessary evil and whose conscience has not yet been reconciled). And find ways to both celebrate and mourn the realities of military duty in corporate worship.

I am a veteran of two deploys to Vietnam and six deploys to Pakistan/Afghanistan. I am not the 'victim' that today's 'thank you for your serviice' implies. I and my fellows are in the warrior caste and don't need patronage from them that never went anywhere.
Claire Guest
My husband is a veteran, as were his dad and granddad before him, and my dad was too. Our dads fought in the same war, but their reactions were very different. His dad didn't talk about his experience for many years - only after he became a Christian late in life. My dad, on the other hand, was very proud of the things he and his shipmates accomplished in the Navy and kept in touch with them throughout their lives. I thought the article made great points, and agree with Kermit and Stephen too.
Here's one Vietnam-era vet who appreciates being recognized in today's services. For decades we have been made the villans because of the politicians of our era & pastors were afraid to notice us...& if you take note, you'll realize that it is our group that's organizing so many of the honors for today's young vets. I am a pastor of 30+ years myself...& there will NEVER be a time that vets go unrecognized in our church. Speaking of the Jesuits, ("He went on to found the Jesuits, God's own Marines known for devoted service"), you might want to take a clearer historical look at their transgressions on behalf of the "church."

WEIGHED down by a spate of disappointing results, the Straits Times Index (STI) yesterday dropped 27.25 points to 2,968.34 in a second day of weakness, following a rally since the start of the year that saw it gain 375 points or 14 per cent.
The broad market was similarly weak with 111 rises versus 345 falls excluding warrants, as traders who had previously bought in anticipation of a successful second Greek bailout sold either because the deal appears to have been sealed or because of doubts over how robust it would prove to be in reviving Greece's fortunes.
Turnover excluding foreign currency units was 2.4 billion units worth $2 billion, compared to Wednesday's 2.3 billion units worth $2.1 billion.
The general feeling among brokers was that traders were selling because the Greek bailout play, which started at the end of 2011, had probably run its course. Also a factor were disappointing earnings by a handful of key stocks.
Genting Singapore, for example, dropped 5 cents to $1.615 with 218 million shares traded following the release of its results - a Q4 net profit of $262 million and a dividend of one cent per share.
The response from analysts was neutral to negative. Deutsche Bank said that in line with its slower 2012-13 estimated gaming market growth projection of 8-12 per cent, it has trimmed Genting's FY12-13 estimated net profit by 10-11 per cent, lowered its target price to $1.49, and called a 'hold' on the stock.
JP Morgan said it is 'neutral' on the stock, while Citi Investment Research said the only positive was the one-cent dividend and so called a 'sell'. It said Genting's adjusted Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) was $399 million, in line with its forecast of $402 million.
'However, if we adjust for the exceptionally high VIP hold rate of 3.9 per cent, normalised Ebitda would have been about $300 million, which would have been 25 per cent below our estimate and 30 per cent lighter than consensus.'
Genting's loss cut 3 points off the STI.
Another index stock to come under pressure following the release of disappointing results was Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) which announced a US$478 million loss for 2011. After losing 6 cents on Wednesday, NOL yesterday dropped a further 8 cents to close at $1.345 with 60 million shares traded.
Nomura called a 'reduce' on NOL, saying the stock is expensive. 'NOL is currently trading at 1.4 times 2012 forecast price/book vs the mid-cycle average of 1.0 time; hence, we believe the stock is expensive based on our 2012 forecast return on equity estimate of -18 per cent and maintain 'reduce' rating with $1.00 target price,' said Nomura.
Morgan Stanley (MS), on the other hand, called an 'overweight'. It said the consensus expectations for losses in 2012 are likely too bearish. MS expects upgrades to emerge from the second quarter and that NOL will report full-year profit of US$29 million.
Elsewhere, water treatment specialist Hyflux's shares plunged 11 cents to $1.47 on volume of 7.7 million, after it reported a 40 per cent drop in profit for 2011 to $53 million.
On Wednesday, palm oil giant Wilmar International's shares crashed by 11 per cent after the release of disappointing figures. They continued to weaken yesterday when they lost 6 cents at $5.16 with 25 million shares traded.

The charioteerAfter enduring an injury at Dunkirk during World War II, Laurie Odell is sent to a rural veterans' hospital in England to convalesce. There he befriends the young, bright Andrew, a conscientious objector serving as an orderly. As they find solace and companionship together in the idyllic surroundings of the hospital, their friendship blooms into a discreet, chaste romance. Then one day, Ralph Lanyon, a mentor from Laurie's schoolboy days, suddenly reappears in Laurie's life, and draws him into a tight-knit social circle of world-weary gay men. Laurie is forced to choose between the sweet ideals of innocence and the distinct pleasures of experience. Originally published in the United States in 1959, The Charioteer is a bold, unapologetic portrayal of male homosexuality during World War II that stands with Gore Vidal's The City and the Pillar and Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories as a monumental work in gay literature. |
