Good Tuesday afternoon! Hope you are having a great Tuesday. This is the first full day with my cast off and let me tell you it's weird! It's very stiff and all I'm doing is trying to get my range of motion back. I'm thinking April-ish I will be back to playing basketball and really working out, hopefully!!
It's Tuesday afternoon and I still don't have my brackets filled out! I have been so busy I just haven't had time to sit down and fill them out. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some free time to get my picks. I'll let you know what my Final Four is once I get them picked.
Well, I better get back to work.
Talk to you later.

"Fat Cat"/Quincy?
- CocoDan Dec 20, 2007 06:43 AM
Has anyone tried this new "gastropub" yet? Pegmeister, where are you? I passed by yesterday, and saw that it's in operation, and looks inviting.
Sorry, Dan, I haven't gotten there yet. Hate to admit it but I actually forgot all about the Fat Cat!. I have been to the recently renovated Inn at Bay Point, and I really like the changes there. It has a much more cozy feel. The food is good, basic, and consistent, but it really is the view that makes it. The fried clams are always good.
re: Pegmeister
I may get to "Fat Cat" tonight, and will report back if I do. Wish me luck, it hasn't been open to long and I usually like to wait about 30 to 60 days b4 trying a new opening.
re: CocoDan
The menu looked pretty good, and I like that they're open for lunch. Work next week will be slow so I may talk the group into heading there for lunch. Sometimes I like to try a place before the word really gets out because then you get to know the staff.
They have LOBSTER NACHOS! LOL
I think that menu looks perfect for a Sunday football game. Sorry I didn't get clued into it sooner. Will drop by after the holidays.
A group of friends and I went to the Fat Cat last night for dinner. It was much better than any of us had expected. We had it in mind to be another quasi-dive bar with regular pub grub at trumped up prices but thought we would try it. The atmosphere is great and low-key. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The waiter was probably a little too attentive (he asked us three times how we liked our meals) but if that is the worst I can say about the staff then it is ok by me.
Food was uneven but keeping in mind it is their first week there is definite potential. The lobster nachos were perfectly cheesy with a heaping dose of lobster and crab (for $10 these are a steal). My partner's tuna was a bit on the dry side. It came with perfectly grilled asparagus and delish potatoes. Another in our party had fish and chips - the fries were delightful and crisp while the fish was Super Deep Fried so it bordered on too greasy. My buffalo chicken wrap was great and came with, again, perfect french fries.
The bar staff seems together. Our drinks came quickly and were poured well. Though I would wait a couple weeks, I would definitely return.
Merry, Merry Folks!
I stopped by there with friends for drinks and apps before a party.
Waitstaff was warm, friendly and efficient. Owner was enormously attentive (in a very good--not annoying--way). They had a great drinks line up. Good pour--my Dewars could have done for the whole night (and certainly should have, in retrospect!), good beer selection (I did not check out the wine list for this visit).
Very varied menu and I'm looking forward to going back to try more. For this night we split calamari and chicken quesadillas. Both tasty and did the job for pre-party snacks.
Good looking room in a cross between industrial and rustic with high ceilings and exposed brick. Nice addition Quincy!
I must've passed by it a few times without realizing it was now open!
I'm inclined to wait, too. The reviews here so far look promising.
Stopped in for a qiuck dinner last Saturday night and found it a fairly good take. We also had the lobster/crab nachos; pretty good. My pan seared halibut was slightly dry but had good flavor and seemed fresh. My wife declared the ribs the best on the south shore. Accompaniments with the meals were quite good. Service was attentive and reasonably knowledgeable for their first week in business. Wine list is short but good and fairly well priced. House wines are a bargain by the glass and bottle. Desert is a must. Mostly home made. Check out the menu on line. In two months you won't be able to get in this place Fridays and Saturdays. (I'm pretty much in agreement with other reviews on this thread.)
My wife and I stopped in last night and were very pleased with this addition to Quincy Center. We really liked the room, and they got extra points from my wife for having the Grateful Dead playing as we sat down for dinner. That said, music was at a reasonable volume, and could be easily tuned out. Have some nice TV's at the bar, but we sat over on the other side and could not see them from our table. The bar was relatively empty when we arrived at 7:30, but full when we left around 8:45.
Service was very good, but they did have some challenges with the menu. Most notably, they were out of the soup of the day, the halibut which I tried to order, and then after ordering the duck, they came back later to check if I would like two duck breasts, as they were out of legs.
Food was quite good, but not great. The rolls and cornbread to start were very good, with a delicious honey butter and then a black bean hummus (which didn't really get much attention from us). The duck breast was excellent, but the sides of spinach and potatoes were a little off. It all looked beautiful, but the spinach had a strange taste and seemed to have a bit too much oil or something. Wife had the pasta primavera, which was ho-hum...not too much color beyond some carrots, but the shrimp were huge and tasty.
Had an interesting selection of beers, and of the three I tried, I liked the dead guy ale the best. look forward to going back there to try some other items, particularly the wings/ribs/fries with some more of those beers.
I went to the Fat Cat last night--and thought it was great! I do think they have some kinks to work out (ex.:moving the smokers away from the entrance so you don't get a blast of smoke when the door gets opened-may be more of a courtesy thing on the smokers part) but all in all a great experience....staff couldn't have been nicer, VERY generous glasses of wine, and the food was very good--will def go back...often. Its about time the Q has a place like this!
re: jettagirl
I went there Saturday night, too!
Go there at 6 and had to wait for space at the bar (wanted to eat, chill and watch football).
Got two seats within 10 min. Bar staff very friendly and attentive.
Food was excellent. Had wings and burgers. Fries tasted good but were not at all crisp -- only bad note. Bread basket with black bean dipping sauce was a nice touch. All the other food coming out looked delicious. When someone complained that their soup was not hot enough, the chef personally brought out another bowl.
Absolutely will go back. And soon.
We tried it for lunch last week (1/3). I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries, which was delicious. The pork was in chunks (not shredded into thin pieces) and had a nice sauce that was smoky and a bit sweet (but not too sweet). The fries were fine, although they could have been a bit crisper. Husband had the philly cheesesteak and fries and liked it (I wasn't a fan of the shitake mushrooms on it). We tried dessert too - he had apple crisp and I had the german chocolate cake. The crisp had a topping that was more like bread crumbs than a traditional oat topping and had a nice hint of orange zest. The german chocolate cake was huge (we took home half of it and shared it later). My only complaint with the cake was that it was served ice cold - the cake (& plate) clearly just came out of the fridge - so that the flavor wasn't as good initially as it was when we ate it at room temperature later.
The service was very good & attentive, but not overly so. All in all a nice addition to the area!
I went there 2 Fridays ago and it was awesome.. We sat at the bar and the bartender was making key lime martinis as the special for the evening and they were sooo good! We also had the lobster and crab nachos, chicken wings, and fried pickles and they were all very good. I will go there again definatetly.
re: chowciao
Yeah, this one is definitely on my radar. It seems to have one of those menus that will force me to return at least a few times, since there are so many items on it that I like.
What a great spot. Went for lunch today and had the lobster macaroni and cheese. Nicely done, generous portion of lobster; with a creamy cheese sauce topped with thinly sliced tomatos and toasted breadcrumbs. My DC went with the lobster and crab lavish and declared it delicious. Wait staff seemed genuinely happy to serve you and they were very efficient without leaving you to feel rushed. Definitely would go back.
I went last weekend-- definitely impressed. Arrived at 7:30pm and it was already packed to the gills. That said, the bar staff is terrific and the service was tip top from door to check. I had pulled pork sandwich (with chipotle dipping sauce for my fries) and my DC had the lobster mac $ cheese. It's not as good as Silvertone's...but not a distant second, either.
My only quibble is that it took me 20 minutes of driving around to find it. But glad that I finally did. I'd def go back...
re: C. Hamster
You make such a good point about the Ashmont Grill. As for Fat Cat, I couldnt be happier. It's 10 minutes from my office and it was a pure pleasure to go somewhere for lunch and have it be a relaxing experience. I'll have to try the lobster nachos next, or maybe the pulled pork. This could be a weekly place for me.
re: Pegmeister
Pegmeister, Glad to see you finally got there. We've been enjoying this spot every week since it opened, and it gets better and better. Nice little wine list, and most nights they have wine specials which are a good buy. It's getting harder to get into, unless you go real early.
re: CocoDan
The place was packed when we stopped in, and we had to stand around for a bit before getting a seat at the bar. Clearly demand exceeds space - hopefully a good sign for this and other Quincy owners.
Another satisfied customer from the Fat Cat. Headed there for a pint, prompted in large measure by another thread on this board seeking a local equivalent of a great neighborhood pub.
I had the Belgian draft and DC had the Magic Hat #9, both excellent, and we watched the end of the Celtics game. Service was enthusiastic and friendly. A lot of attention to detail evident in the design of this small place.
The owner was very much in evidence, and the place was full, unlike the chain across the street. Hopefully they might change places?
Will definitely be back for dinner next time.
re: chowciao
The website is: www.fatcatrestaurant.com
My husband and I have been in several times. Each time just gets better and better. Last Friday they had a Spinach & Garlic Ravioli in a cream sauce topped with grilled pork tenderloin. It was amazing, and ended up taking half of it home. The staff is fantastic, and the bar has a great set up. My husband drinks the different beers, and I drink cosmos. Ask for Bobbie, he makes the BEST cosmos :)
Finally stopped by yesterday afternoon. It was so jammed at 3:30 we got take out: Lobster Mac n Cheese, Hot Wings, Caesar salad.
The lobster mnc was definitely full of lobstah, but it was waaaaay over salted (and I love savory foods). Also, b/c it was take out there were no crispy panko crumbs. Finally, the baked tomatoes on top tasted bad. Overall, I was disappointed. I won't order it again.
The Hot wings were not all that hot -- and I asked before I ordered them. Tasty, but not even lip tingling. Next time I'd go for XXX.
The salad was fine, dressing a bit over-mayonnaisey.
Still, I'd try it again because the menu offers good comfort food, I'd like to try their beer/wine selection, and the place has a good feel.
re: guineverek
Tonight was the 3rd time at Fat Cat. Overall the place is pretty good. The first 2 times was just apps. Buffalo wings the first 2 times, pretty good. Good crunch on the skins, nice burn for flavor. (we ordered medium). The fried dill pickles, well this is an open area. I like pickles, actually pickled anything. Cucumbers, caulifower, tomatos, zucchini, etc.. . . If it's pickled, i'll eat it. At Fat Cat the fried pickles are good. Not a heavy fry on them, good dipping sauce, and you can taste the pickle. But let's get down to tonight. First thing, their fish, I could smell it. Not a good sign. And I like this place, but if I can smell fish, i'm not ordering fish. So for a start we ordered the onion rings. Both the spouse and I enjoyed them. A light batter with a good dipping sauce. Nice crisp exterior.
On to dinner. Spouse trying to be good had the Caesar salad with no dressing. (ok, no comments, I know what's Caesar salad without the dressing?!?!! But i'm not going to discourage her, and she looks great with her diet). Oh and a side of Mac n' Cheese. I had the half rack of ribs. ( of course w/fries and slaw.
Overall, the salad was good, fresh lettuce, good grating of cheese. The mac and cheese was OK. Little soupy for spouses taste, but not awful.
The ribs, well were good. Easy to eat, came off the bone easily, but had no real flavor. I could taste the pork. ( as Homer would say, "Ummmm porky!!!!") They weren't bad, but they just need something to push them over the edge. ( the edge being a flavor Nirvana).
Dessert, Gran Marnier Creme Brulee! Ok, it wasn't a classic creme brulee. A bit on the custardly side. But it had a good flavor and with a side of coffee and Gran Marnier neat it was a tasty dessert.
Overall, the Fat Cat is doing a good job. A little finese on some items and the place will be spectacular. I have no complaints about the service. Our waitress was personable, knew the menu and helpful. We're not writing the place off yet. At it's current level it's worth a visit. And with time it can only improve.

Your honor, something is amiss here!
As you are probably aware, library materials are labeled with barcodes as well as a number to determine their location on the shelf, as per the Dewey Decimal System. The books just to the left of the manga are labeled, as are the DVDs just in view on the lower shelf. Look even further behind these shelves and you'll see that even those books are labeled!
Ladies and gentlemen of the courtroom, I invite you to take a closer look at the volumes that are, allegedly, part of this law library! Something is missing from the spines, isn't there?
Where are the bar codes?!
This is a blatant contradiction! The OP is lying— these volumes cannot, therefore, be a part of this library at all! I propose that they simply brought these materials in for the sake of the joke!!
Only focusing on one aspect and not the whole of the issue, are we, Mr. Wright? Typical.
Your honor, if you bring your attention to the books just left of the manga, you'll notice there's a book (the second to the left) that also does not have a bar code.
If you examine the picture even closer—particularly the DVDs below—you'll see that they bear bar codes, but not on the spines. No, they have them on the back and/or front of the DVDs. Of course, this method of labeling and organizing isn't limited to products of the film industry alone.
Therefore, I'd like to propose that it is entirely possible that the manga books do, in fact, belong to the library!
Wh-WHAAAAT?! You're kidding!!
(Shoot, he's got me there… Better think of something fast! Something about the books that sets them apart from—
…! I've got it!)
While that may be true, you've also overlooked one critical error: the titles of the books! Whether or not your hypothesis regarding the labeling system is correct, these titles aren't alphabetized correctly! What kind of self-respecting librarian would misplace such vital books?
Well, Edgeworth?
While it pains me to have to point out something so obvious, I suppose I'll make an exception for you, Wright.
Clearly, one look at the titles of the books next to the manga is a tell-all of this certain library's less-than-stellar organization skills. None of the books are in alphabetical order, I'm afraid.
They could very well be alphabetized by author and not title, but it's a little difficult to be able to decipher that from this single picture, wouldn't you say?
Furthermore, the manga books themselves are in numerical order, suggesting some kind of system is in place, albeit not a very good one, if the alphabetizing is off.
At the end of the day, it seems like neither of us can draw a clear conclusion from this evidence alone. Your honor, I strongly suggest a recess in which we could investigate the library itself further.
I see the issue here very clearly.
Due to the uncertain nature of this case, we'll have to postpone this decision until more decisive evidence can be obtained. The court will now take a 15-minute recess.
(W-wait, but I'm not—)
I've got some decisive evidence for you, pal!
We investigated further into the photo. Zooming in, you can see a label on the DVD case to the bottom left.
Photo Close-up added to the court record!
As you can see, pal, you can vaguely see the words "Of Toledo Law Library" on the label!
And, considering possibilities of the rest of that label, "University of Toledo" was the first to come to my mind!
A quick search on the University of Toledo's Online Law Library Database revealed that there ARE the comics pictured in it!
Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations volumes 1-4 and Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney volumes 1-5!
And there's more!
The section these comics are filed under is the "Law in Popular Culture" Section, which matches up with the titles on the rest of the books on that shelf: "Lowering the Bar: Lawyer Jokes & Legal Culture", "Prime Time Law", "Lawyers in Your Living Room!" and "Lex Populi"!
Not only is it in the right section, it's also a documented part of the Law Library's database!
How's that for decisive evidence?
So the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was sweet. We all love Rocket Raccoon. He's a raccoon that shoots a gun, after all! Who could say no to that?
But he didn't spring, fully formed, from the ether, despite what people may think happens with artwork on Tumblr. He was created by a legendarily…
Doctor Who's time-traveling TARDIS could theoretically exist, says new study
Good news, Doctor Who fans! A pair of physicists have proposed a spacetime geometry where Doctor Who's TARDIS would actually be capable of traveling both forward and backward through space and time. This kind of spacetime could actually exist in our own universe, meaning the TARDIS — if such a craft was ever created — might actually have a scientific leg to stand on. In fact, given the scale of the universe, some semblance of the Doctor and his TARDIS might already exist, somewhere out there in the great wide expanse.
A spacetime geometry is when spacetime — i.e. the fabric of the universe where everything has happened, happens, and will happen in the future — is arranged into a certain shape. This is a very complex topic, but put simply, space consists of three dimensions (X, Y, Z), and time adds a fourth dimension. Spacetime tries to find a mathematical model/setting that accounts for scientific theories, such as general and special relativity. As such, there are lots of different proposed spacetime geometries — the most famous of which are Euclidean and Minkowski space, which are the mathematical settings for general and special relativity, respectively.

Of course. few of you could enjoy the neat technical details.

We did it!!!
In addition to explaining our scientific results our "Blue Box White Paper" also explains a little bit of Einstein's theory of relativity, as well as other models for time travel.

more of my story..
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 9:55am
Here is alittle more of my story. Met almost 15 years ago, our families were extremely close. All vacations and holidays were done together, at each others homes every day, children of the same ages, etc. He moved out of state with his family and then divorced, all the while we were still together. About five years later he remarried, gave me that news via a text msg. Ouch. Even with that, we were still in daily contact. We had our ups and downs, especially if I was too busy. He wanted me to always be available to him and if I wasn't that caused conflict. I gave so much more then he was ever willing to.
There was never any intention for either of us to leave our spouses and be together. That is something we were both clear on.
And now he says we were never friends. Never cared about me. That's hard to hear.
Trying to see the good in the end of this. Letting go and moving on is difficult, but I know it's what I need to do.

You are definitely on the right side of things and this end is so good for you! Your story shows some hurts along the way that must have been more than the good feelings, but we have a way of doing our own creative math so we always think it is worth it! i was struck in your other post by something I too felt, when ending my 12 yr A - it was that I had "invested" so much and didn't want to "waste" the time. I see now that that is some crazy emotional algebra! I think a more realistic way to think of it is that you finally are free of that old unreliable car that keeps needing repairs, or that ridiculous credit card bill that charges such high interest, - anything that you can compare to a drain on your emotional budget. We are glad to be rid of those things, so why not feel glad too (in time) to be free of the A?
There's lots of good advice on this board and plenty of shoulders to help you move on. You will feel so much better down the road, though it has ups and downs. Be clear in your mind about NC and do not respond to anything he might wave in front of you.

Not that it makes all the hurt go away, but I'm thinking he is saying those mean things because he thinks you'll move on quicker or easier hearing those harsh words vs. words of caring and such. More anger...less hurt. Maybe it's because that's how it would work for him...so that's how he thinks it will help you let go. And anger does tend to help us initially launch up and away. We don't want to stay stuck in anger, but it sure does help at the onset.
I mean you don't hang with someone for all that time and not ever care...unless your a sociopath or something.
Keep trying to see the good in the end of this. It had to come to an end some day. The affair was not nourishing your soul. Some day has arrived, but you will get through this...and we are here to help you do so.
Keep posting in for support and post in too to support others. Even buddying up with someone here is a big help...always helps to have someone along side of you walking the same path.

Even though your thoughts are of former ap the best thing to do IMO is to devote that energy and passion into your marriage for no other reason than to acknowledge how much your marriage suffered during the A relationship. It takes some introspection, realize what you were missing within your m that caused that other relationship to develop. Then to turn things around in your marriage, and devote energy into the m and hus. and move on. I mean, we can sit and think about ap and how much we miss him or loved him, but the whole thing from the beginning was wrong. Introspection, like how do you want to live your life and who do you want to be? What do you want to be known for when it's all over? I think learning more about YOU and learning how to communicate that within the m and find satisfaction that way is the best way in life. And if the m is in disrepair now is the time to either fix it or leave it. So sorry, good luck.
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 8:27pm
well said Jeannie - your thoughts are so good for the "when it doesn't hurt quite so bad" stage. Good introspection might just turn up the ruby slippers - there's no place like home, so do the work to get there.

Yeah, headspace, positive headspace. Moving forward is better than destroying oneself with the past. But there are a lot of pppl who do live in the past, pine away for what can never be, don't get over it, slowly destroy themselves replacing one addiction for another, some pppl living in a fastasy world that really was not reality but what we personally made up. That's why I always say go to a trained therapist to learn about ourselves and who we are, what motivates us, what pushes our buttons, who we are and how to handle it and cope, or change, or how to find who we want to be.Therapists can be wonderful but sometimes it takes a while to find the right one.

Cookin with The Columns: A Tunica classic
Last week, Brooks was looking for something in an old copy of The Tunica Times. She came across this recipe from November 12, 1992 that is from a story about Mrs. J.C. (IdaMae) Still's 99th birthday. Many of you probably remember her. Mrs. Still was obviously very well known for her cooking here in Tunica. The article says her most popular dishes were cheese straws, caramel cake, coconut cake, lasagna, Spanish Delight, and Chicken Travern. The recipe was included for this chicken dish so I am passing it on to you. If it was delicious then, I'm sure it still is today. It's definitely not a Weight Watchers recipe this week, though.

I have to recreate an old quiz that ran on our servers, and redo it so that it runs in Javascript from a CD.
It works in a very simple way - five pages of questions, each page passes some values to arrays in the parent frameset, and the final score page displays the results (which it gets from the parent). It's very old code and was only written to work with IE5.5 at the time.
I'm finding some strange results. In IE5.5 it doesn't get beyond page 2 and gives an error message saying the 'object doesn't support a property'; in Firefox it doesn't get beyond page 1, and IE6 gets to page 4 before stopping with the 'object doesn't support a property' message. Yet the code is pretty much identical on every page.
One source of contention seems to be referring to the form. The original code just referred to form1.elements.length. In order to make that work in Firefox I added a line form1=document.getElementById('form1') immediately before, but IE seems to dislike that.
I've posted it at http://www.nlamont.force9.co.uk/demo...g/frameset.htm and I'd be grateful if anyone can cast light on it. It still has to work in IE5.5 unfortunately, as well as 6 and Firefox but it we don't have to support IE7 yet.

Well it's been a week now since Chooky's weekend where we all stitched with her to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of the Chookshed. So I thought I had better pull finger and quickly get a post up, although since I have become a bit of a slack blogger I don't think many people read my blog anymore, oh well I'll still do it. (I think its Facebook and Instagram which makes our blog posts become less.)
So on the Friday evening I managed to finish this stitchery "Live Simply" from Leanne's House. I did it just in black and red as I am going to make it into a cushion for the couch and these are the dominant colours I wanted.
Then somehow I got these two pairs of work trousers slipped onto my lap to get hemmed. So that I did and I'll count it as an achievement since it was sewing.
And to finish the weekend I was stitching this pattern "Pansy Cottage" from Rosalie Quinlan which we got at our Indulge in Stitches weekend. I managed to complete the stitchery last Thursday evening. I really enjoyed using the Cottage Garden thread as it really showed up beautiful when using chain stitch and satin stitch.
So that was my weekend's achievements. Thanks Chooky for giving us the excuse and kick that was needed to get going!
Hugs in Stitching, Deb x

The Los Angeles City Ethics Commission sits on the 24th floor of City Hall. Visitors must take two elevators to get there, and it's fair to speculate that it's in an out-of-the-way place for a reason.
It is a small office filled with filing cabinets. The cabinets, in turn, are stuffed with candidate finance reports, conflict-of-interest and lobbying disclosures, and, best of all for bored reporters, old campaign mailers from our current City Council members.
Question: Anything odd about mailers from Eric Garcetti and Jan Perry?
Answer: He wrote: "I believe that our parks, our rivers and the air we breathe are precious jewels that we have a responsibility to preserve
. That's why protecting our environment has been a critical part of my work in the community over the last 30 years."
Garcetti was 30 years, 2 months old at the time.
And then there's a reelect Jan Perry flier from 2005 showing Perry walking a golden retriever down the street.
Perry doesn't own a dog.
"I wanted to show downtown has changed," Perry said last week. "And I wanted a downtown resident, and Buddy" — the retriever — "was the first mammal that came to mind."
Q: Did the council members get enough to eat when they dined with lobbyist Joe Cerrell while on a recent city business trip to Washington?
A: Cerrell — who represents a variety of Los Angeles businesses and agencies — was kind enough to invite Times Washington bureau reporter Matthew O'Rourke to sit in on the event.
The meal at Charlie Palmer's steakhouse, on Capitol Hill, began with a salad of "farm-fresh mixed greens drizzled with warm toasted fennel vinaigrette."
The main course required a difficult choice:
"Grilled European-cut filet mignon splashed with a natural red wine sauce served with caramelized shallots," or:
"Roasted Amish chicken slow-roasted and naturally flavored with lemon thyme," or:
"Goat cheese and mascarpone tortelloni served with a fricassee of leeks and shitake mushrooms accompanied with a leek fondue."
Dessert was a stomach-wrenching decision between "delectable chocolate hazelnut pyramid," "Charlie Palmer's delicious cheesecake" and something called "creme brulee en parade."
Let's repeat that just because it's fun to say: a parade of creme brulee dancing across the table!
Such dinners are perfectly legal. In fairness to the council members, after reporters began asking about the event, each announced they were paying their own way — $105 a person — and there were dozens of elected officials from other Southern California cities also there.

Hi there,
If you send me the details, I'll have a word with our AV guys for you
Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend a supplier that has a variety of projector ceiling mounts and brackets? I'm struggling to find someone via Google.
Do ceiling mounts only bolt back, or are there any types with clamps? We're trying to connect a pole to a fairly narrow steel beam.
Hi there,
If you send me the details, I'll have a word with our AV guys for you
Google I beam projector mount.
We've used B Tech mounts & Vision(Techmount | Vision | AV Installation ProductsVision | AV Installation Products) I have to say I like the vision ones most :-)
We usually use CPC. They have a good range of projector mounts and brackets. The Sahara 1m kit normally works well in our classrooms.
Neither vision nor Sahara from what I can see offer and I beam clamp mount though.
Try Misco, they do some kits.
For more unusual installations I would be looking at making my own, I don't know how much that B-tech one is but for probably £20 worth of materials you could make your own. Two bits of steel and 4 lengths of threaded bar and some nuts and washers combined with a normal projector mount kit bolted to the bottom steel job done. I have made my own up like that for installs before around strange columns and bars and it has worked very well.
Speak to Unicol who manufacture stands and projector mounts. You can order via Misco. But Unicol are well made products and alot better made than the cheap ones from the likes of CPC (which I also buy) depends on your budget.
It gets even more complex, as the beam we want to suspend off is directly in line with the ceiling grid, so we'll have to come off at angle.
Our usual AV installer suggested a piece of wood behind a ceiling tile, and then bolt into that, but it didn't sound very safe to me You could push the ceiling tile out, and the whole lot would drop on top of you, or onto the floor (cables permitting).
Sounds like you need to do a custom job, have you got 2 beams above the ceiling where you could run uni-strut between kind of like this:
The I's are beams, ---- = Uni-strut and P = Projector.
I'd be looking for a new AV installer personally.
John: oddly this beam is totally separate from the grid. Hard to know what the history here as it isn't currently used to suspend anything from (it's been used as a lifting beam, of sorts, in the past).
You can get ceiling tile projector mounts but they fix to the real ceiling and hang in the tile space. You can get automatic ones that lower themselves as well £$£
if you haven't purchased the projector yet hang it from the beam and get a projector with optical shift. (V handy)

If you are experiencing a medical emergency please dial 911 immediately
Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is a controversial, minimally invasive treatment for chronic low back pain related to a spinal disc.
Before an IDET procedure, you are given a sedative and a local anesthetic. Using "live" X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy), a doctor inserts a hollow needle containing a thin flexible tube (catheter) and heating element into the spinal disc. The catheter is positioned in a circle around the inside of the disc, and is then slowly heated to about 194°F (90°C). The heat is meant to kill the nerve fibers and toughen the disc tissue, sealing any small tears. Antibiotics, either given into a vein (intravenous) or injected into the disc, are used to prevent a disc infection.

Dr. treatments, I have recovered most of my range of motion and have no pain. Nobody else had done any good with this injury. I am very glad to have found such an intuitive and skilled practitioner."
Got first appointment in one day. New Patient forms available on line and easy to download and fill out. All of the staff is great. Receptionist met me as I walked in. Assistants and Dr "
She listens well and puts you very much at ease. She does only what is required and doesn't overcharge with unnecessary procedures. Office hours are great. "
After reviewing my back and knee situation he proceeded to adjust my back and rendered attention to my knee. I thought the exam was fairly comprehensive and the his inquiry relating to my history of discomfort was sincere and thoughtful. One of the reasons I chose this Chiropractor was because of the high Angie's ratings and that the office is open on Saturday which I found to be fairly unique and accommodating.
Had visited Dr. Wertin for a shoulder pain - the whole experience was very good. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous and warm. The wait time was minimal and the experience was very positive. I think they promote the activator method. I needed three sessions and felt nearly perfect afterwards. On the whole, a good experience.
Dr "
After the first session I had noticeable improvement and after with in weeks all signs of a back problem disappeared. My posture, walking gait and neck are all greatly improved. I will continue to use. "

If you're an app developer, take this survey to have your say and win prizes, including an iPhone, a Galaxy S4, two Nokia Lumia 925 handsets and some cool gadgets.
Smartphones are great. No, really. to be connected all the time and have the world at your fingertips is a great advancement to our world. You know what else is it? Extremely addictive. More and more people are becoming quite literally addicted to their phones and some might say, it is ruining the social element of our society.
Do you remember a few years back when the original Motorola RAZR was released? I do. It was my first "cool" mobile phone. In fact, it was more than cool. It astounded me the first time I picked it up, how anyone could get a phone to be this thin. Of course, the RAZR was a terrible phone in today's standards, in fact, it was a terrible phone in any standards.
Inneractive welcomed Addiktive Games on board in mid 2013.
With a team of talented and creative developers based in Barcelona, Spain and business development personnel in Silicon Valley, these guys take their bubbles very seriously.
I hate to say I told so, but I did. No, really, I did. Many times. You see, the mobile space is a difficult one to compete in. It moves so fast that by the time you have a new product, it is already old. Companies that were the market leaders 30 seconds ago (ok, a few years, but you know what I mean) are now either dead or on the verge of a brutal death.
Never say never. If I had told you just a few years ago that we would be wearing mobile computers on our wrists and our faces, you might have been inclined to lock me up. And yet, smartwatches are the new black and Google Glass is all over the place.
As we continue to develop and enhance our video offering, we wanted to share with you some of our latest developments on the video side. Here are some of the new improvements taken straight from our release notes!
Much like it sounds, Inneractive surveys and aggregates months, sometimes years of internal data concerning the mobile monetization and advertising space. We also conduct industry research regularly on both the advertiser and publisher side and offer it to you in a quick easy-to-consume fashion. You can expect it to include exclusive and eye-opening data about past, present and future trends in mobile. Our previous Data Punch on mobile video advertising can be seen here.
It is not often that you have a day on which so many announcements are made in the world of technology. Putting aside the launch of the Surface 2, Nokia unveiled some new devices and apps yesterday, BlackBerry completed its launch of BBM for iOS and Android, and and Apple held an iPad event… Was a busy day.
Facebook's stock price is looking pretty healthy lately ($54 as I write these words) and the reason for this, I believe, is that it seems Zuck has finally doubled down on effective monetization.

I finally got my mitts on a new PEN E-P5 and decided that even after only 24 hrs with it I need to talk to the world about this incredible camera!!
The design queues of the Olympus PEN E-P5 are in step with its predecessors in that they are reminiscent of the Olympus PEN line of film cameras from a time that is a bit before MY time. So you can say that yes, this camera is of a "retro" design, but only if you are old enough to know that it is retro As far as ergonomics are concerned the E-P5 has a small grip on the front side of the camera as well as a small pad for your thumb to rest on. I have I would say smallish hands and the camera fits me like a glove. Below are a couple of shots I took that show the new control wheel layout. Having that front control wheel is really something these PEN cameras needed!
The multitude of customization option for the buttons and wheels makes this camera feel like a Swiss Army knife. I am used to the customizability ( yes I made that word up) of the Olympus system so this is nothing new to me, but for someone buying into the PEN or Olympus system for the first time this may feel overwhelming. For you I wish to say, "don't sweat it! Take your time and make the camera YOURS! Bend it to your will and way of shooting!" I mean, that IS why Olympus has made the cameras so easy to customize. The dual control wheels can be used to control several functions, and on my camera (when in aperture priority mode) it is set up as follows. The rear wheel is set to adjust exposure compensation and the front wheel controls aperture. Simple right? Now this is where Olympus make customizing fun! On the back of the camera there is a toggle lever that wraps around the dedicated video record button(see image below). When this toggle is flipped my control wheels now take on a second set of functions! My rear wheel is now used for white balance, and the front controls ISO. Cool huh? I can change those all around, but for ME this is what fits my way of shooting. For you it may be something completely different. And even better? I can make these customization unique for each shooting mode! One for aperture priority, one for shutter speed, one for manual, etc..
Sample photos shot with the E-P5
See more samples My PEN E-P5 Gallery.
I really don't want to make you read any more than you have to so I will finish by saying that even though I am an Olympus Visionary, and am given gear to shoot with I can say in all honesty that this is the best mirrorless Olympus camera I have used to date. Especially when coupled with the new VF-4 electronic viewfinder! I won't start talking about that here because if I did I wouldn't shut up! I love it that much!
Thank you for stopping by, and as always feel free to comment and ask questions below. I enjoy getting to interact with the readers here!
Take care.

To: Internauts:
It's 46 minutes past midnight in Machikaneyama, Toyonaka, Osaka. We're pretty
close to the active fault from Awajishima-Kobe-Takarazuka, which caused the
major disaster about 19 hours ago. We're OK - but people in Kobe city are
now shivering and starving.
Kobe was the host city of INET'92, a successful first INET conference held by
Internet Society. But the city is now a mere debris. And the southern coast
of city is still BURNING. Food supply is low, traffic is congested, and
trains cannot reach Kobe.
I don't think you can send food or water to Kobe just right now, but you can
help people in Kobe by sending support to Japan Red Cross. Please contact
your local Red Cross chapter for details.
I fortunately have access to water, gas, electricity, and even to Internet.
But people in Kobe have virtually none. Smaller but shakey tremors are still
attacking the city. Please help Kobe, since they hosted Internet Society.
Sincerely yours,

Little did we know the impact we would make as we started to identify and connect with kids across the state through firefighters as they ran calls, or agencies like Big Brothers & Sisters across Kansas and even local teachers and churches who have helped us identify kids in need along the way. Not only do firefighters get to enjoy the gift of giving kids a coat, scarf, hat and gloves, but they also brighten the day of families in ways they never imagined.
Once kids are identified, they are invited along with their parents to a special day to receive their winter wear with a personal "shopping buddy-firefighter". We provide hot chocolate, coffee, breakfast, and families enjoy games and amazing fire trucks on display.
For those unable to bring their kids, we have firefighters who personally deliver coats.
Last year, with the help of proceeds from calendar sales and a partnership with Wichita Walmart, Target, and a coat drive with Spangles across Kansas, we purchased $6,000 in coats and provided winter wear to over 500 children. We are expecting the need to grow this coming year with the large number of families affected by layoffs, downsizing of many businesses, and the summer tornadoes that hit Kansas towns.
STARTING November 1st – November 26th you can drop of a new hat, gloves, scarf, or coat at any Wichita or Sedgwick County Fire Station, or the Kansas Firefighters Museum located at 1300 S. Broadway, Wichita, Ks 67211(opened Saturdays 11:00 am to 3:00 pm).
You can also help put a coat on a kid by purchasing a calendar!

and I'm more insecure about myself than ever. It seems that every time I fix one insecurity, another arises. Waaah. I now weigh about 120, the biggest I've EVER been. I mean.. I'm not unhealthy or overweight, but this isn't a weight I'm comfortable with. Sooo.. I'm gonna start off the new year with P90X and a healthier diet(: I'm gonna try my best to cut out soda (I drink more than a can a day) and processed foods. We'll see how well this goes. Hopefully I can push myself and get off my lazyass. -_-
I don't normally do these but oh my god so worth doing.

Pride Mountain Vineyards

|Topic: Pride Mountain Vineyards
posted 03-04-2013 07:59 PM
Greetings friends.
We have returned from our SC wine event and I wanted to report on our tasting of wines from Pride.
Yes, they are known as a Napa winery, but it actually is situated in BOTH counties and since Sonoma gets so little conversation of late, and most of the wines served were from Sonoma, I'm posting here.
This was a paired dinner featuring wines from Pride.
Hors d'oeuvres course was paired with the Napa Valley 2011 Chardonnay which we really liked because the use of oak was very restrained- barely there in the flavor profile. The foods offered with this course were ( this is the short version of the names of the dishes): tiny ham biscuits with citrus and fennel mostarda; Veal Crudo with marrow, sunchokes, cured yolk and hazelnut gemolata; Lamb BLT's; Shrimp with fermented fennel and 'nduja.
Next Course was 2011 Sonoma County Viognier- an absolutely brilliant Viognier that was floral but not over the top, and had a crisp but silky mouthfeel that was delicious. This was paired with a "mosaic" of baby octopus, pickled oysters and emulsion of black garlic.
The next course was a meat and cheese plate( they called it "cures and curds", isn't that cute?) of Guinea Hog lonza, saucisson sec, Jasper Hill Farm Harbison, Cabot Clothbound Cheddar and fennel pickled pears.
The wine for this course was the 2011 Sonoma County Chardonnay- a wonderful Chard that had not one bit of that butterscotchiness that drives me insane- a very crisp fruit forward Chard that had all the good parts of Chardonnay to offer.
Next we had the 2010 Sonoma County Syrah which was paired with Veal cooked 3 ways- roasted loin, braised neck, and bratwurst. This was a very acidic food trio and the Syrah did a nice job of cutting the bite and rounding out the flavors. Its hard to put this one in a tasting profile because the food had such strong flavors, but it was a good rich wine with great structure.
It had to be to hold up to all that sharp flavor in the foods.
The last course was wild boar shoulder with gnocci and smoked mushrooms and this course was paired with 2 wines- the 2007 Cab Franc from Sonoma County and the 2007 Merlot from Napa/Sonoma. this was BY FAR our fvorite wine for the evening. That Merlot is the best we've had in a very long time- above average body with wonderful element of cherry and red fruit where the Cab Franc was just a little tannic which helped cut through the fat of the boar. I suspect these two may not be available as he mentioned at least twice that he raided his personal cellar for those.
Dessert course was Pear Sorghum upside down cake and it was Fabulous!!! Pears and sorghum- who'd'a'thunkit? This was served with Mistelle de Viognier Sonoma County and I was a lovely dessert wine- just enough sweet to get your atention and complement the pears.
I don't know if you can get to Pride from the Sonoma side or not...I was going to ask but dinner took 3 hours and it was way past my bedtime by the time we were through...and frankly our host was fairly "well done" by that time and I didn't want to try to ask him anything too difficult.
All times are ET (US)

Click here if you missed Fantasy Baseball Strategy Part 1: Setting Goals.
Once you have your goals and know your per player needs (roughly) you can start to organize your draft depth chart as it were. It is first important to set your core group of guys—the guys you are building the team around. In a snake draft it is easier to know who you might pick better than in an auction, and if you have keepers it makes this even easier.
Tier Targets
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
Tier 4
|Buster Posey
|Carlos Santana
|Jonathan Lucroy
|Yan Gomes
|Dustin Pedroia
|Matt Carpenter
|Chase Utley
|Daniel Murphy
|Andrew McCutchen
|Bryce Harper
|Matt Kemp
|Nelson Cruz
|David Ortiz
|Billy Butler
|Anthony Rizzo
|Mark Teixeira
|Starting Pitcher
|Felix Hernandez
|Jordan Zimmermann
|Homer Bailey
|Hiroki Kuroda
|Relief Pitcher
|Kenley Jansen
|Jim Johnson
|Ernesto Frieri
|Steve Cishek
Again, a crude version of what this should really look like, but I think you get the idea.
It is important to have some perspective on which players really are going to be available if you have to go to second, third, and even fourth tier. Don't list Robinson Cano, Jason Kipnis, Ian Kinsler and Dustin Pedroia as your hopeful guys and leave yourself no late-round options. You just never know how a draft is going to unfold.
Work the entire draft, don't just focus on the early portion.
The reality is that the draft is won in the later portion. No matter if you are participating in an auction draft or a snake draft, you need to be at your sharpest late. Some guys want to land their big name stars early, and then just check out—some people even nicknamed this "stars and scrubs strategy", to make themselves feel better about it. I am mostly just teasing those guys, but in all seriousness it is important to be sharp throughout your entire draft.
The best way to do this is to mock draft, and mock draft to the very end. I have found mock draft less and less beneficial in a lot of ways, but practice fighting though boredom and staying focused until the last pick can be the biggest help from mock drafting.
You need to have a plan, but that plan needs to be flexible:
In a snake draft I am a proponent of mapping out your hopeful picks. While guys like Clave and Dixon—whom I have drafted against numerous times—are more likely to scribble some notes on a napkin and just trust their instincts and knowledge to roll through a draft. I need to have a plan, and that plan needs to have a flow to it so if things go awry, I can be on top of a success strategy.
A lot of my planning is having multiple players lined up per spot needed to and round of draft if I am planning for a snake draft.
Everyone really can have success in a draft:
Do not concern yourself with others during the draft. Even if people are poaching your targeted players, you have to have a sound enough fantasy baseball draft strategy to be able to fill in with other options.
Sure, if you are going for Jacoby Ellsbury as your center fielder, you may be hard pressed to find another CF like him. You might be able to get creative and draft an Ellsbury type player at another position. Someone like Jose Reyes who will go a few rounds later.

Grossly obese, Oliver Benson hides from the world to pursue his passion for computer programming. A breakthrough program and a canny financial manager catapult Ollie into abundant wealth, and
To achieve his goal, he must transform himself into a new man. Is vengeance a strong enough motive to help him accomplish what no diet has ever done? Will destroying two lives give him the satisfaction he craves? His housekeeper, a woman of faith caring for her disabled husband, awakens Ollie to the power of God's love, but this realization may come too late.
Morris finds a stellar voice in Ollie, a character who grabs the heart and engages the mind. The author nails dialogue and captures the essence of contrasting cultures from the ultra-rich to the reclusive. (Apr., 352 pp., $12.99)

Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration; it is justified indeed both by an imprecise intuitive knowledge of large spiritual truths and by the subjective experience of souls that have risen beyond the ordinary life, but in itself it only gives us the hope and faith by which we may be induced to aspire to the intimate possession of the hidden tracts and larger realities of the Spirit. That we turn always the few distinct truths and the symbols or the particular discipline of a religion into a hard and fast dogmas, is a sign that as yet we are only infants in the spiritual knowledge and are yet far from the science of the Infinite.
You find God the moment you realize that you don't need to seek God.
(Source: bodhisattvaquotes, via ocular-splendor)
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.
Everything I've ever let go of had claw marks on it.
David Foster Wallace

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

Book Review
Genre: Historical Romance, Paranormal
1997 BEST CONTEMPORARY TIME-TRAVEL/REINCARNATION ROMANCE NomineeNot since Anya Seton's classic time-travel / reincarnation romance Green Darkness have I been so entranced by the compelling mixture of history blended with past and present lives.
Ciji Ware is a true master at bringing to life a story so fascinating that it should come with a warning-Do not start unless you want to be up all night!
Recovering from a traumatic divorce and her sister and husband's betrayal, Blythe Barton Stowe rents a cottage in Cornwall hoping to find peace and renewed self-confidence.
Lucas Teague is trying to restore and maintain his family home and renting out the cottage is one way to help with the expenses. From the moment Blythe arrives, Lucas knows she is special and her remarkable resemblance to the first Blythe Barton adds to her mystery.
Blythe is fascinated with her connection to the Teagues and through a magical genealogy chart she finds a way to shift through time between the 18th century and today.
Blythe discovers that, like herself, the original Blythe was embroiled in a love triangle, but unlike the present-day Blythe, she disappeared and left a void in the family tree.
As Blythe returns time and again to the past, she begins to understand the intricacies of her ancestor's tangled relationships, and her own life, and is ready to battle the present and find a better future.
A COTTAGE BY THE SEA is peopled with characters who will capture your imagination. Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, you'll believe in the ability of love to transcend time and place and the wonder of Ciji Ware's writing. Superb! (Apr., 452 pp., $22.95)

Klondike Gold Rush NHP is made up of three units in Alaska and one unit in Seattle, WA. Each of these places played an integral role in the stampede to the Klondike. The three units in Alaska are the Skagway Historic District, the White Pass Trail, and the Chilkoot Trail (including the Dyea Townsite).
Beyond the sites in Seattle and Skagway, the story continues all the way to Dawson City, Yukon Territroy heart of the Klondike Gold Fields. Sites along the way have also been protected by Parks Canada. Together the National Park Service sites along with the Park Canada sites create an International Historical Park linked together by the Chilkoot Trail. The two primary Parks Canada sites include Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site and the Klondike National Historic Sites of Canada.
NPS map
Stampeders took several routes to the Klondike, some over land and glaciers, others only by water, however most streamed through Skagway or Dyea, Alaska to battle with either the Chilkoot or White Pass routes both ending at Lake Bennett. This is the headwaters of the Yukon River, and marks only half way point of the 1500 mile journey to the Klondike Gold Fields, from Seattle, WA to Dawson City, YT.
Did You Know?
The Canadian government required those going to the Klondike gold fields to bring a year's supply of food with them to avoid starvation during the long Yukon winter. Some of the recommended supplies included 400 pounds of flour, 200 pounds of bacon, and 100 pounds of beans! More...

"You gotta take this job serious. This the future of our nation." Jeff Bliss, a former high school dropout, gave his history teacher a lesson. He stressed the importance of proper education, and has NOT been reprimanded for it. Kudos to Duncanville High School. I hope they'll address their teacher's lackadaisical attitude.
Student's rant: http://youtu.be/-GGFqnW7vx4
ABC interview: http://youtu.be/bKjqjpePhTc
"If you would just get up and teach us instead of handing 'em a packet yo, there's kids in here that don't learn like that… they need to learn face-to-face," said student Jeff Bliss on the 84-second video clip recorded by a classmate. "You want kids to come to class? You want them to get excited? You gotta come in here, you gotta make 'em excited, to change him and make him better, you gotta touch his freakin' heart. You can't expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell him."

The staff were all very good and worked very hard but the service for breakfast was quite slow mainly because there were not enough staff.

The food.
First impression was that the Hotel needs a good paint and the window sills are in poor condition. The bedroom decoration was tired - needs some TLC Otherwise very enjoyable.

Great atmosphere and staff were excellent.
Found some areas of the hotel in need of some tlc, namely bathrooms. Mould in our shower was particularly unpleasant. Food was generally good, just think they should keep it a little simpler as they don't quite deliver.

- The Rachel hairstyle

UPDATE: Apparently this last one did get mentioned - see the comments - although maybe it was just mixed in among all the music references that went over my head? Because I don't recall.
At any rate, I just Googled the phrase "my bad" to see if I could say that it originated in the 90's. The answer is highly unclear, but I enjoyed this sentence in the Wikipedia entry for "mea culpa":
In today's American vernacular, people often say "my bad."

The Swimmies of Doom
Tumblr theme by ahhfred
we have previously featured a few sellers who are, effectively, tiny factories handmaking goods. one reason we do this is because this is part of the true handmade movement too. small factories and small production is an integral part of handmade, and certainly the types of factories that hark back to vintage, classic production with serious training in a skill is the type of idea we feel we can promote.
handmade artisans have always worked in tandem with manufacturing. in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in particular (in human time!) artisans might do some mass production and then do their own original work on the side for the same factory. the two allowed each other to grow, to be successful, and to teach others.
Tanner Goods, in portland, follows this tradition, and you can see it clearly from their studio! go take a look! read a bit of what they say! handmade takes many forms. also they have the good grace to show their manufacturing process without taking on the name Collective, since they are not! they are makers of handmade goodness though! judge for yourselves! click to see!

Wine Spectator
"When I was in northern California the week before Thanksgiving, the rumors that were swirling about the impending sale of Beringer by its international corporate owner, Nestle, to an investment consortium proved true when the sale was announced. Let's hope the new owners maintain the status quo, as Beringer has had an exceptional run of highly successful wines since the mid-eighties. Considering the diversity of wines produced, I would be hard pressed to single out another winery that has enjoyed as much success as Beringer has over the last decade."
