When I saw this one, I thought Ash was going to catch Houndour. Cool episode, great filler. I think the ill Houndour justified the other Houndour stealing food. 10/10.

This was a good episode. Those Houndour actually did look quite scary. The battle between Team Rocket and the Houndour pack was funny. Their bottoms catching fire... lol!
A good episode, I love how Ash wanted to help the poor hurt Houndour. I can imagine Ash with one btw.
I wish Ash caught Houndour, but yeah.
This was one of the highlights of Johto imo.
Well, I don't think this is necessarily a highlight of the Johto saga, but I do believe that for filler standards, this episode was much more stronger and had a overall better plot. I also think they introduced Houndour perfectly and that also makes this episode strong.
Ahhh, Ash showing his care for Pokemon yet again. It was nice, but it was cool seeing him command the leader of the Houndoom pack to use Flamethrower.

A program that has preserved over 19,000 acres of farmland in Adams County may be in jeopardy as final adoption of the state budget looms.
Under the proposed Pennsylvania budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year, the $20.5 million garnered from cigarette-tax revenue for farmland preservation would be diverted, instead, to the state's general fund to help balance the budget.
Adams County Director of Agriculture Land Preservation Ellen Dayhoff said that leaves Adams County in a tight spot. The state funds match what the county contributes to preserving agricultural land, she said, and being left without those funds would hamper the county's ability to buy easements on properties for preservation.
"Everything we do goes against a state match," Dayhoff said. "We can usually double our money with state funds."
County commissioners last week sent a letter to local lawmakers in Harrisburg, asking that this funding be restored.
"State funding through the cigarette tax allows Adams County to leverage federal funding and also creates an incentive for Adams County to allocate local funds for farmland preservation," the letter stated.
Preserved farmland is essential to Adams County's economic growth, commissioners said.
"Farmland preservation is truly a long-term investment that will continue to pay future dividends. This lost benefit does not need to be traded to balance the budget for the short term," commissioners wrote.
Dayhoff said funding for agriculture land preservation has come from various state sources since the program's inception in 1989, but in 2002, dedicated funding came from the cigarette tax.
Adams County has so far preserved 19,535 acres on 153 farms. The county has put in $11 million, and the state has contributed $24 million to preserving farmland.
Dayhoff hopes the state will come up with another solution. One recommendation that came up recently was to fund preservation with state bonds in place of the cigarette tax over the next two years, but Dayhoff worries about what will happen the third year.
She's hoping the cigarette tax will remain dedicated to preservation, and said it's important for the future of the county.
Dayhoff said it is important to preserve the county's farmland now, before pressure from developers starts up again.
"Everything comes full circle, and it's time to do as much as we can," she said. "Unfortunately, we're in one of the worst economic times for the state. I understand that, but if we're going to do this in the most inexpensive way we can, we have to do it now."
Agriculture is Adams County's second biggest industry, after tourism, she said, and the two go hand in hand.
"Without agriculture, what are we?" she asked.

1 Meetup Group matches "Chicago White Sox" near Palo Alto, CA
There are no upcoming Meetups.
I started this group because the only thing better than watching the Bears win, is watching the Bears win surrounded by fellow fans! Cheap drinks and free food are nice too! I want the group to meet up at a bar called Dirty Trix and enjoy all of the above, as well as Bears oriented field trips and pools.

And here, from Fox Business a few days ago:"Report: PepsiCo Looks to Juice Profits With 4,000 Layoffs"Excerpt:In an effort to boost its bottom line, PepsiCo (PEP) management is reportedly contemplating laying off about 4,000 workers and putting a stop to its 401(k) match.According to the New York Post, a final decision on these cost-cutting moves could be made in days.By eliminating its relatively generous 401(k) match, the food and beverage company would save $75 million immediately, the paper reported. PepsiCo could cut the match for employees who are senior enough to be eligible for the pension.Full article here:http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2012/01/05/report-pepsico-looks-to-juice-profits-with-4000-layoffs/
How sad is it that they wouldn't do this before the election for fear of retribution...
Excluding any Romney voters working for these companies, I am happy for the rest of them.
This is just the beginning of the misery caused by electing a domestic enemy. A year or two from now millions who voted for Obama will have their eyes opened to how bad they screwed up.
Sadly. I don't think most O voters will ever make the connection. Wait for it... They will blame the "obstructionist" R Congress for not making the rich pay their "fair share". We have dumbed down the population enough to never see light again.
Lay off those that support Obama and his agenda first!
The Left is already in full force on Twitter stating these business owners are 'UnAmerican' for laying off employee's because of Obama's reelection. They will never blame Obama or his policy's for this happening.
They can sit there and text away on Twitter til their fingers fall off. People should have taken reality to the polls, and left the rhetoric at home. Having a snarky one-liner or wearing your ObamaBiden t-shirt isn't going to change facts my lefty friends.
And Altas shrugged.
#3, me too. Guess we are considered "mean." I say God bless all those American business owners who have hung on as long as they did. Whenever we see "Closing - Going Out of Business" signs, I am so sad. Especially Romney voters whose last hope to save the business was a Republican victory this week. I hope those O voters enjoy the unemployment line.
Don't sign on to any "compromise". Vote "present" and let the Dems own this 100 percent.
Read the comments after the article......most of them will never get it.
#13, they self-identify as enemies of the constitution and this Republic.
And so it continues. The progressive forward march of a growing economy. Growing numbers of unemployed but growing none the less.
Well da bunny finally ran out of steam...
I agree with #12Evey Republican, especially in the Senate should vote "Present" on every spending bill Don't vote against it and allow the demonrats to say you are an obstructionist.Simply make them own it At every opportunity say "They own it."
And so it begins - a few here, a few more there, and the number is going to keep growing. I agree with the "present" votes - this is what they wanted, and we should do everything we can to "let them have it" (think Laurel and Hardy)
It is possible to lay off more Obama voters only if management paid attention during the campaign and took notes. I remember reading about a small business owner after the 2008 election who knew he had to downsize and did it by strolling through the parking lot and making a list of the cars with Obama stickers. He then approached those employees with pink slips and wished them well. That is probably why we say so few Obama stickers this election.
Notice in all these reports, in either the headline, byline or first sentence, the phrasing is always "Corp. Kills jobs for bottom line." Demonization
Wow,the list of layoffs is getting longer and longer. We were warned this was coming and the people voted Obama back in anyway. At least those fools will be suffering right along with everyone else. I´m waiting for the coal layoffs in PA...talk about cutting your own throat!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Apparently, it doesn´t "keeps on going".
It looks like Barry voters who actually work are getting what they voted for.

The Great Growout, Part 2
Welcome to part two of our month-long "The Great Growout" series, where we break down every aspect of growing out your relaxer. This week is all about finding styles that suit your "transitional hair" (ie, the half-natural, half-relaxed situation that's been stressing you out for a good month). Styling dual-textured hair is tricky; straight styles never get sleek enough, and curly ones never look uniform. Here, natural hair specialist Nedjetti Harvey of Bloomfield, New Jersey's Hair By Nedjetti Salon gives us fabulous options for styling transitional hair, as well as natural 'dos to try after you've chopped off your relaxed ends.
For more info on natural hairstyles and Hair by Nedjetti Salon, click on Nedjetti.com, or check out Nedjetti's Natural Hairstyling DVD ($24.99).

Greenpeace New Zealand Oceans Campaigner Karli Thomas at the launch of a public campaign in downtown Auckland urging Sealord to stop buying tuna for its canned products from companies using fishing methods which kill endangered sharks, turtles, juvenile tuna and other ocean species. Sealord, and other New Zealand brands of canned tuna, buy tuna which is caught using purse seine nets combined with fish aggregation devices (FADs). FADs are like marine death traps as they attract all sorts of ocean life, not just tuna, making the bycatch of purse seine fisheries up to 10 times higher than other more sustainable methods.This is threatening tuna stocks in the Pacific and the health of the ocean.

May 10, 2013
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced a proposed rule to allow state and federal enforcement officials to easily share and view the most current and accurate information about a commercial motor vehicle driver's medical certification status.
It would require certified medical examiners performing physical examinations on drivers of commercial motor vehicles to use a newly developed medical examination report form, and to use a new form for the medical examiner's certificate.
In addition, certified medical examiners would be required to electronically report to FMCSA the results of all completed commercial drivers' physical examinations by close of business on the day of the examination. This would include the results of any examination where the driver was found not to be qualified.
FMCSA would make the medical examiner's certificate information for interstate commercial driver's license holders available to the state driver licensing agencies only as part of the integration of the medical certification and the CDL issuance and renewal process.
The proposal is a follow up rule to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners rule published on April 20, 2012, and the medical certification requirements as part of the CDL rule published on Dec. 1, 2008.
Comments on the latest proposed rule are due by July 9. You can read the proposed rule in the Federal Register.
I DIDN'T give up my right to privacy to get my CDL. My medical infomation is for me and my doctor to know. All FMCSA or any other agency needs to know is either I an medically quailified or not. Its bad enough I have to go to someone other than my local family doctor to get my physical done.
Is this taking to much of their Donut time? or should we just have a Dr ride with us?
I totally agree with Bryan Spoon. The details of what is found during a physical is between me and my doctor. No one else needs to know specifics beyond passing or failing and things like corrective lenses. The whole thing is getting way too intimate. Maybe if you show me yours first?
this sort of idiotic legislation well not only impact the trucking industry, but in the long run affective individual consumer. Watching these characters is like the blind leading the blind. they haven't got a clue about the safety issues involved in an everyday driving job. they're just plain old clueless. without qualified truck drivers, and I'm not talking about guys that just got out of school, the products are not going to get to the consumes show on a regular basis. Trucks and truck drivers are the lifeblood of this nation's backbone which includes its total economic system system.
I agree the FMSCA ought to keep there nose out of the trucking industry period! For one thing the stupid laws they create is pathetic.They have no clue to what it takes to get your cdl and the cost of it! They ought to pay for the drivers who lose there CDL due to the medical card issues. Just because they forgot to renew it period. I don't feel us cdl holder should lose our cdl privileges due to a medical card issue. Infancy they should get rid of it period less headaches.

I absolutely love this bed set. The colors accurately match the photos and the quality is great for the price. This is a microsuede type of fabric, so be prepared that it is a "hotter" material. Absolutely purchase!
I have been looking for the perfect comforter for months and thought I had finally found the one for our home. It arrived and I immediately went back to the picture to see if it was the one I ordered. The quality was subpar and it did not look like I envisioned from the picture. I decided to return which was a Very positive experience working with customer service, however was shocked by the cost of my mailing the item back. I was charged $100.00 to mail the comforter back. This has taught me a serious lesson about ordering from this company. Can't describe my disappointment with this transaction.
I love this bedding set! I saw it at a great price here on Designer Living and waited until it became available (it was out of stock) for purchase. The shipping was fast and I love the bedding!
Not only does this comforter look great but is is soft, warm, and comfortable. Looks great and feels great.
Looked for weeks. I am very happy that i finally pushed the button and purchased this set. Just what i was looking for. Love the feel of this and the look of this.
Perfect! Exactly what I wanted and so soft!

Golden Gate Shines in Chicago |
Clubs - Elite Cup / RSL |
Coming off a 45-35 defeat of Denver in Denver, the Griffins were feeling confident, but SFGG played solid defense and kept the ball moving effectively on offense to win on the road. "We had some opportunities, and we didn't take them," said Chicago lock Charlie Jacobson. "Golden gate played their game, one they've been playing for a while, and they do it well. We had some good possession from set pieces, but couldn't turn that into enough points." Down 25-11 nearing halftime Chicago had a chance to move within a try after getting a scrum five meters from the SFGG line. But a knock-on from that movement left them 14 points adrift, and with hanging heads going into the second half. SFGG continued to move the ball well, passing before contact and forcing two-on-ones and single-tackle matchups. "They gave us a hard time in the scrum, which we will be working on more this week," said SFGG Director of Rugby Paul Keeler. "We played our style. We want to force one-v-one tackles because that's how we break down defenses and build momentum. It worked." Keeler said he was pleased with the defensive effort, especially, but also said the attacking play was good for a group still getting to know each other. Center Tevita Okusi and sub forward Pone Samisoni both scored two tries. SFGG goes to 1-0, Chicago drops to 1-1. SFGG 44 |

A little known spot with great food and service! Small but is big on meals that you would expect from a european bistro.
Great food and fabulous service....On the expensive side but worth it!
Nice atmosphere, wonderful wait staff, good food. Open kitchen and wine bar.
Had a great Filet Mignon at this restuarant in Indialantic with my wife and baby. Really good food all round, great calamari as well. Would definitely go back again!
Great service but menu is lacking in diversity and nothing was a thrill. Escargot is drenched in a beef based mushroom sauce and served with hard bread. The mussels were wonderful, but so are Carraba's. For the money spent, would go elsewhere.

Churches to join in ecumenical event
For the 17th year in a row, the congregations of eight mainstream Christian churches in Newton will participate in a joint Christmas event Sunday, beginning at 3 p.m.
Rita Baker, a member of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, has been helping to organize the annual Christmas Walk since its inception in 1996. In fact, none of the original clergy members who helped get the tradition started are still around today.
"I guess you could say I'm the only one left," she said. "It started out just as an idea to help create some unity among the Christian churches. Newton is fairly unique in that it has eight mainstream churches all within a three- or four-block radius of downtown."

If I were AC, the last person I would want to be associated with and remembered working for is Eric "I Heart Marc Rich, Illegal Gun Walking & Black Panther Voter Oppression" Holder.
Holder is so deep in the Operation Fast & Furious conspiracy that his boss had to use Executive Privilege to shield him from congressional heat and criminal charges.
Let's look at a few reasons any sane, intelligent and ethical person would decline an offer to work in the current USDoJ:
- No Prosecution of the Black Panthers for blatant voting poll violations in Philadelphia
- Demanding costly dog & pony show civil trials in New York City for heinous and murderous islamo-fascists instead of military tribunals
- Deeming an obvious act of terrorism at Fort Hood, Texas as "workplace violence"
- Condoning murdering Americans in foreign lands by armed drones on a presidential whim
And this is just a short list...
Yeah, informed and intelligent Americans know exactly why Eric Holder is a despicable excuse for an Attorney General - he's the worst of the worst.
A.C. Wharton would find himself just another small fry in Eric Holder's USDoJ large scum pond. But only if A.C. accepts the "rumored" offer...

Michele Fevola Turns Florida's Interstate 95 Into A Highway To Hell, Causes Four Accidents During Highway Rampage
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (The Weekly Vice) -- Michele M. Fevola, a 33-year-old West Palm Beach woman may face charges after turning Florida's 1-95 into the highway to hell.
Police say Fevola's license had just been reinstated last month, when she entered Interstate 95 Monday night. Before she was done, she was involved in three separate crashes, sending one woman to the hospital in serious condition.
Investigators say Fevola was driving south-bound in a 2002 Chevy pickup truck around 8:15 p.m. when she rear-ended a 2008 Lexus near Southwest 10th street, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Instead of stopping, Fevola continued driving.
The next accident came a stretch down the highway later when she rammed a 1984 Toyota near Atlantic Blvd. Again, Fevola refused to stop.
The most serious accident came when Fevola rear-ended a 2004 Isuzu near Sunrise Blvd. The accident caused the Isuzu driver's vehicle to roll while Fevola's vehicle was struck by a 2009 Toyota.
The Isuzu driver, 21-year-old Marisol Montellano, was transported to Broward General Medical Center in serious condition. The drivers in the other vehicles were reportedly shaken, but uninjured according to authorities.
Police say charges are pending a toxicology report to see if Favola had been drinking.
Her license was returned on Feb 20 after it had been suspended numerous times for DUI and DUI related charges. According to state records, Fevola's license was suspended in 1998 after refusing to submit to a toxicology test following a crash. She was charged with DUI in that case.
Her license was suspended again in 2001 after she was arrested for drunk driving. She was arrested later the same year for DUI which resulted in suspension of her license for 5 years.
Crash victim Marisol Montellano's condition was recently upgraded to "good condition" according to hospital spokeswoman Candice Ogden.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
This accident appears on a map to have spanned several miles. Umm.... Hit and run? Leaving the scene of an accident? Hello? DUI charges could be added later!
Sigh.... I really REALLY don't get that God-forsaken state.

why the f*ck does she keep getting her license back?
- March 25, 2009 at 9:39 PM
I believe that once you lose your license you should be required to do all of the tests again, writing test and driving test instead of it being handed back. thats basically like a slap on the wrist and a "dont do that again" heres your license back type of thing. how pathetic.

We are showing you the European version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
You don't know what you've got…
About forty-five minutes into my cyclocross race this past Sunday I looked down at my legs in pain and yearned for a feeling that I had just four short weeks ago. You see, a month ago when I stepped off my BMC in the middle of Ascoli Piceno on that last day of the Rapha Randonnée Appenninni I felt as invincible as I ever have on the bike. Legs swollen by six consecutive days of 6-7 big climbing hours in the saddle, I had transcended from weekend warrior to a hardened grimpeur.
But last Sunday, with distance, the days and the realities of work and family, my "good legs" were just a fond memory.
Since coming back I've kept in touch with some of the other riders and the guides from La Fuga. We're all back into the swing of our lives, and we are all already trying to figure out when we can get away next for a "camp" like that again.
I have spoken with some of the Randonné alumnus from the other trips and it seems that our Italian experience was true for the French tours as well. I was curious if that those trips were as hard and as rewarding as what I had felt of Italy, and if they would consider doing another Randonnée? To which I heard back:
"As I told Claire atop Alpe d'Huez (after the Madeleine and Glandon) 'That day was gift.' I was in tears, I had a Cavendish moment."
"Because of how delightfully wrecked I was at the end of each day. I dug deep and kept up for the most part- but wow was I was in tatters."
"To cycle is to suffer. Maybe I'll be faster next time."
(me, Carrick, Pablo, Arnie, Aussie, Ian)

I went on the 6 day trip through the French Alps thinking it would be a great chance to check off some incredible mountain passes – one more impressive the next. But by the second day, I could no longer worry about the remaining cols of the day or the next day's ride - the terrain was challenging enough that I had to stay focused on the moment - and that, in fact, turned out to be the reward - and, I think, the beauty of a randonnée. The water's edge in Nice would reveal itself in time.
I made this video for the guides and the riders as a way of saying thanks – I think it captures the essence of our week together: http://www.vimeo.com/15628110

Wide cracks have a well-deserved reputation for being one of the more difficult genres in our sport. I suspect this is due to the simple observation that in wide crack climbing, technique goes a long way. Struggling up a wide crack without technique is like climbing a steep trail on skiis- without wax: just plain miserable. Locate Easy Jam by heading left from the parking lot, and wandering through the maze of boulders to a short slab with a nice-looking diagonal crack in it (Cornelius, 5.5, excellent). Just left is this wide crack challenge. Wear protective clothing- minimizing pain or discomfort is a good place to start. Now decide which side of your body you want to have inside the crack. Think which orientation allows for the most friction (often very helpful) while reducing any awkwardness. In leaning wide cracks it is often advantageous to have your back against the lower angle side, so that rests can easily be found by leaning back (as opposed to being forced up against the crack). For this route you will want your left side in. Arrange your gear on a sling, so there is nothing on your harness to get caught. Keep in mind that in wide cracks and chimneys you can often optimize your body position to provide added security. Done properly, it is hard to fall out of a wide crack, although the tendency for the leader is to get too deep in a wide crack, which is not always the easiest way to climbing one. The secret to wide cracks is focusing on your lower body. It is the legs that do most of the pushing and stabilizing. Use your arms to maintain your position. For this climb, heel-toe jams with the left foot work well. You can also torque your left knee to help. Arm bar with your left, and move systematically: secure your arms position, then release your lower body (legs, feet) and slide them to a higher position. Now lock them in, and slide up (don't pull) with your upper body by pushing with your legs. Lock the upper body and repeat. This climb is a little runout, but short. If in doubt, try it on tr. A nice progression on the Nautilus for learning wide cracks is: Easy Jam 5.4, Baldwin's Chimney 5.4, Right Parallel Space 5.5, Piton Perch 5.6, Slit 5.7, Hamburger Crack 5.7, Candlestick 5.7, Upper Slot 5.7+. Remember that, unfortunately, easier wide cracks tend to be squeezes, and are often poorly protected, so take this progression slowly.
#4 Camalots, #4 Friends.
Add Handjacker (5.7+) to the Intro to Wide Cracks 101 list.
A #4 Camalot and a couple #4 Friends protects this one fine. An anchor can be made at the top of Cornelius with a few pieces in the range of .5/0.75 Camalots.
This climb is really short. It took me about 2 minutes to solo it and frankly, it didn't even feel like 5.4. Bring lots of big cams (#4 Camalot over and over and over again) and you can sew this baby up. Just place pro below you, otherwise your body will knock it out of position as you pass.
A couple of big hexes (11s and 10s) are more than enough to protect this route. A good warm up or beginner lead.
You can almost climb this route like a dihedral if you keep your feet outside the crack on the arete. I don't feel like I learned as much as I should have on this route. It was hard to get secure feet. I'm not a good crack climber, but I was hoping to get better. Again, I'm not fond of the walk off.
This was a fun warm up and intro to the areas wide crack tech, I found it was comforting to jam my body as deeply in as possible most of the time. That is assuming that this action does not prohibit further upward momentum. but then again I was ropeless, followed by my brother. If you can solo this thing you should be pretty comfortable with the walk off, and if not then I saw plenty of bolts that you could probably rap off. If your that worried you might just haul 2 ropes up this easy warm up. Like mentioned before if attempting this beast on lead bring pleanty of big gear and place it below you so that it doesn't get in your way; I don't know how just do it =) !
Probably easier to solo than to lead.
This is also a spectacular climb to practice stacks on. It feels even more like 5.4 when you're doing hand-fist and butterfly stacks on it.

Like many others here I am looking to upgrade to a Phenom II when they release. But the one question I find myself stuck on is, get the 940 or wait for the 945? And until today I didn't really look into it much, figured the 945 would come with a slight bump up (100 - 200mhz) over the 940. But now I'm seeing it's suppose to come at 3.0, the exact same as the 940. I see it has a higher steeping number, I havent ever really delved into CPU info to find out exactly what that means. But I assume it's just a more refined version much like the 9x50's were over the B2 9x00's. Now the question is, why would they step it up like that if the current stepping doesn't have an issue. And does anyone here think the gains of the 945 will be pretty decent compared to the 940 (talking about OC'ing).
Don't know but I am looking at the Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition. The 945 is AM3 and 940 is AM2+ tho. The AM2+ one will not do DDR3.
The die shrink is allowing improvements to be implemented. I for one am excited about Phenom II, but I will prob wait for the AM3 chips.
yea, as shadowfold sed 940 is AM2+ and 945 is AM3. The question you have ask yourself is does it make sense to wait for AM3 and DDR3 or stick with AM2+ and DDR2 for now. This is why i'm reluctant to jump on the AM2+ Phenoms, its not really a future proof investment, IMHO. If you already have an AMD board that will support AM2+ Phenom then by all means go ahead and get it. If you dont i'd wait till the summer for proper DDR3 boards and AM3 chips.
thnx, i forgot to mention that seeing that the OP already has a board that will work with P2 940 it makes sense.
I myself can't wait for it to release either... I'm not waiting for AM3, but going to grab a AM2 940 BE and drop it in my sig rig...
Ah didn't know the 940's didn't support DDR3. The 945 will still drop into a AM2+ rig though right? I had heard that AM3 and AM2+ was backwards compatible, just then couldn't use DDR3. Think the 940 might be the proc for me then, not really looking to drop a ton of money on ram anytime soon and this brand new mobo and videocard need to get a proc thats worthy of rounding off my rig.
According to Amd rep,Deneb am2+ has ddr3 onboard controller also.The am3 version is simply more optimized. In other words Deneb am2+ will work in am3 boards.

Perched at Mirror Lake Dam, The Green Owl dispenses a delectable assortment of homemade salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. Commence consumption with grilled garlic bread smothered in mozzarella cheese ($6) or steamed edamame ($6) seasoned with sea salt and served in a martini glass. Brioche buns hug black bean burgers ($8) like a protective mother bear and sourdough crust is the canvas for cheese ($13), white ($17), or barbecue chicken pizza ($19). Draft, bottled, or imported beer wash down solid grub as customers luxuriate in outdoor seating or nestle beside a cozy tiki bar. Once summer emerges from the cold, harrowing depths of outerspace, The Green Owl enthralls patrons with live outdoor music.
As a marble-top creamery and classic diner, Ferch's Malt Shoppe & Grille satisfies hunger pains, ice-cream desires, and nostalgic longings with traditional American fare and fresh frozen custard within a throwback soda-shop setting. With 48 custard flavors and 40 toppings to choose from, Ferch's treat specialists can create more than 1 million varieties of customized creamy concoctions. The malt shop's black-and-white checkerboard floors, vinyl booths, and soda-fountain counters hark back to a simpler time when men wore hats and robot servants hadn't yet begun their grisly uprising.
Created by the Ginatta family, Paciugo satisfies cravings with hot and cold gourmet coffee concoctions and small-batch Italian gelato, made fresh daily from all-natural ingredients. Hundreds of flavors make rotating appearances on the expansive menu of confections, which boasts fruity sorbets and milk-, soy-, and water-based gelato, all with less fat than traditional ice creams or salads sculpted out of butter. Candied Italian black cherries, Piedmont roasted hazelnuts, Sicilian pistachios, and Belgian extra-brute chocolate add richness to the carefully crafted Turin recipes. Customers can fill a piccolo cup with up to three flavors ($3.99) or make the leap to the grande cup's five selections to meet the FDA's recommended daily servings in one sitting ($5.59).
All of Badgerland Bowling Centers' six locations have a lot in common. At each location, groups hurtle colorful balls down slick, glossy lanes, refueling at an onsite restaurant between matches. All of the alleys host birthday, work, and fundraising parties and tournaments such as the Badgerland Bowling 300 Club—which has doled out more than $35,000 in cash prizes since 2002—and the Badgerland Open, which welcomed 113 competitors in 2011, one of whom snagged a grand prize of $500 and 1,000 bragging rights.
But like sextuplets working undercover for the CIA, each center also maintains a unique identity. At Badger Bowl in Madison, live musicfloods the lanes on weekends, and dancers jump and jive on West Coast Swing nights on Wednesday. Nearby at Dream Lanes, laser and disco lights slice through fog amid thundering music during Ultra Bowling every Friday and Saturday evening.
North Avenue Grill may be a diner, but it's hardly a greasy spoon. Cooks build sandwiches, soups, and omelets from scratch, using local ingredients and a creative New American approach. Many dishes—including stacks of steaming pancakes—are gluten-free, and most that aren't can be tailored to the needs of guests with wheat, barley, and rye sensitivities. Breadsmith, Rocket Baby, and Molly's loaves form the foundation of many sandwiches, from the meaty Tosa cheesesteak to the vegetarian Portabella Baby.
Coffee comes from Sven's in Bay View, whereas ice cream hails from Madison's famous Chocolate Shoppe. Burgers are crafted by hand with fresh ground chuck and sirloin, rather than an 8-ounce can of hot-pink Play-Doh. Diners can relax in burnt-orange leather seats as they eat, or take part in Wednesday night movie trivia and Throw You Out Thursdays, when lucky diners are tossed to the curb after dining but before paying their tabs.
Located on the rolling greens of Brown County Golf Course, Safari Steak House offers diners a scenic destination for steakhouse cuisine and drinks. Chefs smother baby back ribs in barbecue sauce and sear USDA Choice cuts of juicy rib eye, porterhouse, or New York strip steak to order. Patrons can also opt for surf and turf entrees that pear tenderloin with haddock or broiled scallops.
In 1978, brothers Eugene and John Jetts lent their name to the sign above their pizza shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. In the more than 30 years that followed, they've lost one of the Ts but gained more than 200 franchises across the country. Jet's Pizza churns out thin-crust rounds and signature square-shaped pies in hearty deep-dish form. The eight-corner deep-dish style lets each member of a dining octet enjoy a slice of corner crust without fearing the paper cuts inherent in triangle slices. After loading pizzas with heaps of meats and veggies, guests have the liberty of flavorizing their crust for free, choosing from eight options such as garlic, sesame seed, Cajun, or poppy seed. To augment pies, Jet's chefs whip up triple-cheese turbo sticks filled with mozzarella, cheddar, and romano as well as regular and boneless wings draped in hot or sweet sauces.

Do you think God gave us sex for us to enjoy whenever, where ever, how ever with whomever we may desire, with no strings attached? Or do you think "Everything is permissible for us when it comes to sex?"? Is it right to believe everything is OK when it comes to sex whether it may or may not be biblical or beneficial to one health. We live in an age where there is 'an acceptance law' - if it feel good, do it; an acceptance law that everything is "Everything is permissible for one if he or she wants to do it"The thinking is as "food is for the stomach and so is sex for the body." We must be reminded that God will destroy them both. The body is not to be used for sexual immorality, but the scriptures teaches the body is for the Lord, and the Lord for the body." "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians chapter six). There are several specific sexual relationships that are forbidden in the Bible. Among these are bestiality (sex with animals), incest (sexual relations with close family members, including one's mother, sister, niece, aunt, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law), homosexuality, and fornication, (sexual relations outside of marriage) and adultery (sexual relations with another person's spouse), and rape (forced sex). The Bible give laws against such sex acts and as well emphasize the seriousness of these kinds of offenses; their penalty was death. Purchase Now, Below, Discount % $3.00 this week.

Well, I just had my first flight with the Quiet Technologies Halo, and I have to say they live up to the claim that they are "As quiet as ANR." I'm used to wearing earplugs and "doubling up" on ear pro and having flown with CEPs a bunch at work, this headset was a breeze...and it felt like one too. No annoying clamping pressing my sunglasses' temples into my head. Crisp, clear comms...very refreshing coming from my DCs (even with the Oregon Aero Hush Kit installed).
I've seen some posts questioning their utility in a GA piston, but at first blush, these seem to fit the bill. I'm still within my 30 day return window, so I'd love to hear what the masses have to say...especially if you have any hard science against them, please send it my way.
I'll be bringing them to Truckee this weekend if anyone wants to check them out.
Oh, and I have thick skin, so bring it on

Elizabeth Taylor Misses House of Taylor Opening Due To Illness
Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Design
The flu kept Elizabeth Taylor from attending the opening of a Beverly Hills jewelry boutique which features her House of Taylor jewelry. Taylor was expected to be at the opening of Luxury Jewels of Beverly Hills and the AFP reports that guests waited three hours for her until her spokesman announced she would not be arriving.
It's been a rough few years for both Taylor and her eponymous brand of couture jewelry. Taylor has suffered several health crises and the loss of beloved friends including Michael Jackson. Her jewelry line began in 2005 when Mirabelle Luxury Concepts and Techline Jewelry merged with entities owned by Kathy Ireland and Elizabeth Taylor to form House of Taylor Jewelry. The new company struggled to gain footing and eventually was delisted from the Nasdaq in 2008. In November 2008, House of Taylor Jewelry, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Los Angeles.
The House of Taylor opening was attended by Marilu Henner, Maria Conchita Alonso, Kevin Sorbo and Frances Fisher among others. The jewelry remains on display at the Luxury Jewels of Beverly Hills store.

Rowett unhappy Kitson escaped for part in Sharps dismissal
10:40am Monday 9th September 2013 in Headlines By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
BURTON Albion manager Gary Rowett felt Dave Kitson was fortunate not to be sent off for his part in the altercation which saw Ian Sharps red carded.
The Brewers boss was in no doubt that the first-half dismissal was the key moment in the game, which Oxford United went on to win 2-0.
Sharps received a straight red for kicking Kitson, who retaliated by shoving the defender.
Rowett reviewed the footage and although he had little complaint about the sending off, he argued referee Michael Bull should have made it ten-a-side.
He said: "I know we hadn't created an awful lot, but we were definitely in control. "But whatever way you want to look at it, one decision changed the match.
"If you're going to red card Ian Sharps for a kick which didn't look particularly violent in my opinion, then surely I thought in the rules of the game it says that if you raise both hands to push someone, it's a red card.
"I'm not suggesting that it was worthy of a red card, but in the laws of the game, I hear it all the time.
"Once you raise your hands, you leave yourself with no option but to send the player off.
"By not doing that, I just thought it changed everything."

WASHINGTON, DC (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer says his laws to close loopholes that allow synthetic marijuana and dangerous "bath salts" to be sold openly have passed the Senate.
The House of Representatives has passed a similar bill banning synthetic marijuana and Schumer's bill and the House bill will go to conference committees soon. A final bill that could become law will be negotiated there.
Schumer's bill would prevent manufacturers from tweaking compounds to make synthetic marijuana technically legal. The New York Democrat's bill also targets so-called bath salts, a compound that can be purchased in grocery stores but can be mixed and provide a kind of narcotic high.
Synthetic marijuana is trafficked under names like Legal Phunk and Spice.
The bath salts' names include Tranquility, Zoom, Ivory Wave and Vanilla Sky.

I have to wonder if they'd continued the RF series better with something more akin to a modernized version of Guerrilla, and not canned the series altogether, they'd have survived this better. RF and Metro are really the only games they make that I like. This is not a big enough outfit to weather dropping one of their most popular series after ending it with a pretty bad installment in Armageddon. It's a lack of rational priorities like this that can do in some pub/dev teams. I have to wonder if Codemasters is headed the same direction. They've put off making a sequel of one of their most popular games (GRID) for years in favor of cranking out one crap title after another in the F1, Flashpoint and DiRT franchises. Eventually that takes a toll on you.
Call of Duty "stamped out memories" of what made FPS games great, says THQ http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/22/c...el=ref&ns_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0
THQ is paying too much to make games, and using budgets as large as the entire development budget to market them. It's horribly wasteful and has not paid off in the slightest. More than likely they will retain those titles actually. Saints Row has become very successful, and a SR4 would actually sell very well and bring them much needed revenue--reliable revenue. Metro would probably be the only one auctioned off--if any, but CoH is another game that THQ could rely on bringing in profit. I would not be surprised if they sold they sold Homefront 2--since Crytek is attached to it--and got top dollar. The first one didn't sell bad, it was just a let down in the CoD-era market. So you'd rather see THQ pumping out mediocre low budget iOS games than something like Saints Row 4? Hell, Homefront 2 is being made by Crytek UK, and that will definitely be an excellent game, and should sell fairly well. They have a lot of great games nearing completion--the South Park game will be great, Homefront 2 will be great, Saints Row 4 would be awesome, and CoH2 would be awesome. Metro LL is kind of a toss up, but other than that they have a lot of solid titles coming out, just need time to get them out. Advertising is their biggest issue. I have seen so many ads for THQ games in recent months, an excessive amount to say the least. Actually 2014. Rumors peg Microsoft announcing it early 2013, and releasing it in either fall (similar to what Nintendo did with the Wii U) or pushing it to mid 2014.
Company of Heroes, milked? I don't think so; a sequel isn't even out yet. The game is years old and had 2 expansions, which is a pretty standard affair. Metro is not milked either, with only one game, with the title, currently released.
Wait...how were the Flashpoint games crap? I found them to be super well-done, accurate, and tried very hard to instill a sense of realism into the FPS genre. I prefer that to the so absolutely fake COD franchise that has kids thinking war is fast and just run and gun. The Flashpoint games forced you to think and plan tactically, and move methodically to your objective. Seems like that takes alot of work. I actually think they haven't "cranked out" the series. It's usually a long wait. Just my two cents.
Heres an update on the situation.... THQ's franchises and studios to be auctioned off on a "title by title" basis which means that any current project they are working on including the much awaited Metro:Last Light will most likely be delayed until further notice and possibly may not even see the light of day unless its from a different publisher
If they are sold, there's a very good chance it will eventually be published. You don't buy a property unless you intend to get a return on investment for it.
Shame to as i found it much more fun than any COD game for a long time now, in fact the only COD game i enjoyed was the 1st one lol.
Shame, my favourite developer. Huge and repetative fan of the Warhammer 40k, metro, stalker and darksiders series.
All these studios are already working on projects. They can't work on another title until their current project is done. The reason why DNF took forever is because they refused to sell until a few years back. It was constantly underfunded and no one knew who actually had the rights to it. It was a giant legal mess until Gearbox bought it.
There are several vultures circling around the THQ assets. They include Electronic Arts, Warner Bros. and the latest addition being Double Fine. There is no indication as to what these publishers are looking to buy as the IP is not the only thing up for auction. There are studios and one would assume other assets like hardware (workstations, servers, etc.). The only reason someone would buy an IP and kill it would be to eliminate any perceived competition or to nab artwork that has copyrights attached for use in their own IP. Quite possible this could happen as it has occurred in the past when someone snagged a company. It will be very interesting to see where all the assets end up. You, or course, would know this if you read NPU (another cheap plug).
publishers are one the ones responsible for milking decent games untill there worth nothing publishers are the ones responsible for bad console ports and buggy games publishers are the ones responsible for annoying DRM publisher != developer Developers are the ones that spend untold hours in front of lines of code only to be tould to scrap 80% of it and start over developers are the ones that die a little on the inside when unfinished code walks out the door because some n00b in a suite thinks its ready and its not Developers are the ones that get paid ONCE and make nothing after the game is out Developers are the ones that need to work extra hours to implement bad drm into relatively good code Developers are the ones that suffer when the community goes to the publisher demanding blood and the developer studios are feed to the beast to quell it so yea you can keep your filthy "publishers"
This post is filled with misconceptions, inaccurate assessment, half truths and wild generalizations that paint all publishers into the same picture when the is not the case at all. While there are problems with some publishers I would recommend doing a little research on the realities of game development and the game industry in general.
Publishers are the gaming industries equivalent of Record Labels. Neither are organizations I particularly like, but they do serve a purpose. In gaming, they are arguably a lot more important, because getting the funding for a project is so hard otherwise (and don't try and sell me on that Kickstarter crap, how many of those projects have come out and weren't let downs?) and the marketing if done correctly helps a lot. I think the problem is that Publishers don't care if a game is fun, or interesting, or innovative, as long as it sells as many copies as imaginable. Where as Developers put their reputations on the line with each game, Publishers have no issue if a specific game doesn't sell as long as they can recoup the losses elsewhere. A major problem is that Publishers own all the IP Rights to most games, so they end up with a lot of bargaining power when it comes to what goes into the games. An ideal publisher would leave the developers to their own devices and concentrate on marketing and shipping the game.
sometimes there are pseudo publishing deals that leave the dev a little more freedom, technically crytek is part of EA partners isnt it? how about shank, gatling gears, bulletstorm, etc
They are developed by independent studios and published by EA. Unfortunately, THQ is selling studios so there's no chance of that happening here unless private individuals are at the auction (like Chris Schilling) with capital to make the studio run on its own.
based on past history one thing is clear, if titles are bought they will be more expensive for us to purchase. pretty much anything Activision or EA has purchased has become more expensive to buy. I'm quite glad I picked up that THQ pack on steam. metro last light might be one of those titles that gets picked up, if it does expect a 60$+ launch that might not get cheaper and will be full of holes that you must buy dlc to fill. Sad really because THQ only really had cosmetic dlc.

Recipe by ELISAW
"This is a nice change from ordinary French toast. I make this more than the standard recipe. Although this is my family's favorite version, it is very versatile. You can substitute peanut butter for the cream cheese, use different jams or preserves, different extracts or spices - the options are practically limitless! Serve with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar."
Watch video tips and tricks
8 slices oatnut bread
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
5 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 tablespoon butter
This recipe had a very fun flavor that my husband and I enjoyed very much. I did change it a little, instead of making it like a sandwhich I used Texas Toast, sliced a pocket into it and filled it using a sandwhich baggie with the corner cut off. Just perfect!
Followed the recipe except used Texas toast. I thought this was okay but my husband seemed to like it very well. I thought the filling had a tart flavor that was a little overpowering for the toast. I would make this again with strawberry jam.
135 Ratings
Unfortunately, I only had white bread the morning I made this. It was good, but I would rather have used oat nut or whole grain bread. I also substituted strawberry jam for the raspberry jam. Next time I would like to try substituting mascarpone for the cream cheese and trying different extracts, maybe adding a little more than called for. Also, if you use fat free cream cheese, it will harden up a bit and almost seem curdled.
Oh Elisa.....how wonderful are these? I've never been a french toast fan, but when I saw this on the site, I just had to try it and we loved it. Reminds me of eating cream cheese and jelly sandwiches as a kid, but about a million times better. Total comfort food. Thanks!
This was a decent recipe and a great idea. I made it this morning for Christmas breakfast for just my Husband and myself. I used only three eggs insted of 5. I made the usual adjustments to make it more nutritious and it came out very good. We enjoyed it.
This recipe was a big hit!! I used french bread and blackberry fruit spread. I also topped them off with powered suger. Yummy!!
We loved it! We added 2 Tbs. or so of white sugar to the cream cheese (whipped it up) then spread it on the bread slices. We also used regular wheat bread and it was still good!
All I can say is "yummy"! My husband even liked it and I was afraid it would be too sweet for him. I used Raspberry Simply Fruit and it was delicious.

Pineapple Antique Show and Sale raises funds for community charities
Date: March 7, 2013
by: Yaryna Klimchak | Community Editor
The First United Methodist Church and the Rotary Club of Sarasota Sunrise Foundation Inc. will host the 37th annual Pineapple Antique Show and Sale Friday, March 8 and Saturday March 9, at the Municipal Auditorium, to raise funds for community charities.
Barbara Rice, Dot Garber and Harriet Agler came up with the idea of the Pineapple Antique Show and Sale in 1976, to raise money for family-oriented community organizations. Parishioners and members stay true to the goal today by donating many items to the antique show that will be displayed at the sale.
Since its inception the show has distributed approximately $400,000 throughout the community. The show will feature nearly 40 exhibitors from across the U.S. and Canada.
"We have everything from exquisite jewelry, Asian antiques, urns, artwork, and hand-crafted tote bags made by parishioners," says Nola Hietbrink, lay leader of First United Methodist Church.
The show was held in the church until 2007 when it outgrew its size. Parishioners began preparing for this year's antique show right after last year's antique show. They collect items throughout the year.
"It's a church-wide effort to produce the antique show," Hietbrink said.
