|Huskies top Cougars in Pullman
Two late baskets by Scott Suggs and two free throws by Andrew Andrews with 3.3 seconds to go allowed the Huskies to escape from Pullman with a PAC-12 68-63 road win this evening.
The Huskies were led by the 18 points of C.J. Wilcox, followed by 14 from Aziz N'diaye and 11 from Suggs. N'Diaye added 10 boards while Wilcox added 7 more. Gaddy added 5 assists.
Washington State was led by Mike Ladd's 16 points and six boards. Brock Motum had 15 points and DeVonte Lacy added 10.
Washington scored the first nine points of the game, as WSU settled for contested jumpers and didn't hit anything early on. Washington State finally got on the board with a Lacy drive over five minutes in. When CJ Wilcox buried a 28 foot bomb from well beyond the top of the key, the Huskies had a 13 point lead at 17-4. Out of a stoppage, Shawn Kemp Jr. got into the act in a big way with back to back thundering jams. Time out WSU…21-4 Huskies lead.
That was the end of the gravy train for the Huskies, who then began to turn the ball over and WSU began to hustle on the offensive boards. That led to points and some better shooting. A Mike Ladd three pointer over Suggs brought the Cougars to within 8 at 25-17. It was answered by a Wilcox dunk to make it double digits again, but not for long. Ken Bone drew a technical foul, and Wlicox hit one of the two free throws, but the Huskies could not capitalize. Will DiJorio hit a long three, and the Cougars were within six. An Aziz driving layin and two Wilcox free throws put the Huskies back on top 10 again.
The Huskies had a chance to take that double digit lead to the locker room but a silly turnover by Andrews followed by an N'Diaye foul with just two seconds left in the half let the home team back into the contest at 34-27.
The second half went back and forth until another bad turnover by the freshman Andrews, leading to a Lacy drive that was contested from behind by Suggs. Suggs drew a flagrant foul on the play, which changed the complexion of the game. Lacy made both free throws to pull the Cougars within five at 41-36.
Then came some brutal basketball. The two teams proceeded to exchange turnovers and missed shots from there. About the only thing of note was a poor offensive foul call on Gaddy as Motum was able to fool the officials by sliding in Gaddy's way en route to the hoop, and the Cougar crowd's class cheers of "&uck the Huskies, clap-clap-clap clap clap". Thankfully the media time out at 12:00 left in the game stopped the carnage.
The Cougars climbed within four when Motum finally hit a tough baseline field goal, and then a Wilcox failed attempt at a alley-oop dunk led to a beak away lay in for WSU and the score was 46-42, and Romar called time out.
WSU pulled even with back to back lay ins. A Motum three gave WSU their first lead of the night with 7:10 left in the game, and the crowd came to life and began to do the Florida State (or Atlanta Braves, take your pick) tomahawk chop.
WSU turned the ball over, leading to an Andrews jam. That was answered by a DiJorio uncontested three. An N'Diaye air ball led to another Cougar lay in and the Cougar lead was four. N'Diaye answered with an offensive put back and then a Simmons jam tied it once again.
DiJorio hit another three with the shot clock at one to answer.
Then came the series that won the game for the Huskies. Gaddy beat Lacy on the drive and feathered in a jumper. N'Diaye followed that with a blocked shot, leading to another jumper by Suggs to push the Huskies into the lead.
Motum was fouled on the next possession by Desmond Simmons. The Cougar senior hit two of three free throws, which set the stage for Scott Suggs. The senior from Saint Louis hit a very difficult 20 footer on a fade-away to push the Huskies up by one.
He followed that with a lay in and the Huskies clung to a three point lead.
A bailout foul call on Suggs put Mike Ladd at the line. He made both attempts to narrow the Husky lead to one. Andrews went to the line at the 22 second mark with a one and one chance. He buried the first and the Cougars expended their final time out. He calmly swished the second.
A Lacy three was long and Gaddy missed the opportunity to wrap up the game. The Cougars were awarded the ball on the Gaddy miss because they had incorrectly called it a two shot foul, when in reality it was a one-and-one.
The Huskies fouled Ladd with just over 4 seconds left. He missed the front end on purpose but the Cougars weren't able to corral the rebound, knocking it out of bounds. Andrews was fouled on the next inbounds attempt and made both free throws to salt away the win for the Huskies.
Washington, who out rebounded the hosts 29-24, improved their record to 9-5 and are 1-0 in conference play. The next game for the Huskies will be at California on Wednesday evening (8PM tipoff).

ARDEN HILLS, Minn., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- TEAM Informatics, Inc., a leading enterprise software products firm in the Oracle® WebCenter market, announces the release of version 3.0 of the Google Search Appliance® (GSA) Connector for WebCenter.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130226/CG66036)
The GSA extends the power of Google's core search technology with its simplicity and familiar interface to corporate content across multiple servers and repositories. TEAM's GSA Connector provides the bridge between the GSA and Oracle's leading WebCenter Content. TEAM first introduced its GSA Connector for WebCenter to the market in 2008. Now with the release of version 3.0, TEAM adds new capabilities and remains compatible with the evolution of the GSA and Oracle's WebCenter.
"Customers continue to want more security options when it comes to their content," explains Scott Olesen, Director of R&D for TEAM Informatics. "A major feature of the new release is early binding for security authorization. With early binding, authorization to secure content is fully managed by the search appliance so it does not need to validate a user's access rights with WebCenter Content at serve time. This means that GSA customers can use the full function of the GSA, including dynamic navigation, when searching secure content without impacting performance."
TEAM announces the release at the Google Global Partner Summit in Mountain View, CA. Find more information about the GSA Connector at TEAM's website – www.teaminformatics.com

All the things you need to know before you take the first step to winning the hearts of the bollywood frenzy India
Bollywood is one of the biggest industries of India, which provides employment to thousands of people. Passionate and skilled individuals can have a very bright future here if they know the tricks. Some people often misunderstand that making a place among the known actors in Bollywood is a child's play, it surely is not. Every successful actor has a story of struggle behind him and it takes a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck to become a successful actor. Unless you have a relative of yours in Bollywood who can launch you, you will have to start from the scratch. You need to proceed strategically and logically to fulfil your dream of becoming a known actor in Bollywood. Here are some tips that can help you.
The first step is to move to the right place, which is Mumbai. Being in this city will help you develop connections with the people in the industry. You also can hone your skills in an acting school. Actors are born as well as made. Being a part of an acting institute will give you a feel of the Bollywood. It will let you know what your profile demands and how you can face real life situations. Most importantly, it gives you a platform to practice your passion of acting and improve every day.
Besides enrolling in an acting institute, you need to create an impressive acting résumé to show it to various casting agents. You should always keep your eyes open for any kinds of auditions going on – be it for TV or movies – and give all the auditions. The more auditions you will give, the closer you will be to success. Though you will be rejected in many of them, do not get disheartened. When you decide to make an acting career in Bollywood, you should prepare yourself for a prolonged struggle and emotional disappointments. You also need to improve your looks, physique, command over Hindi and English, voice and of course acting skills.
Whenever you go for an audition, you will be asked for your portfolio in addition to the résumé. You should collect different headshots portraying various moods and styles of yours. This also includes all sorts of your acting experience till date. You should always keep it updated and never ever miss to mention even smaller assignments that you have done. Getting help from a professional agent could be beneficial.
Keep yourself abreast with all the latest news and activities in the industry. You should know which of the directors are looking for new people and which casting auditions are going on. You should remain constantly in touch with numerous casting agents to try your luck in any audition. You should keep trying to make as many contacts as possible because links help a lot in this industry.
You should also groom your communication and marketing skills and do not hesitate to start with a small role. It is just about getting the right break for after that sky is the limit.

13. Unconfirmed - Cannot copy a layout by selecting a layout tab, hold CTRL and drag left or right. (Just started an SR)
I'm not going to name names, but the support person who responded to me about this apparently doesn't understand what has happened nor how AutoCAD has worked for over a decade. She actually said, "To move the layout sheets position you don't need to hold the Ctrl key anymore, just click over the layout sheet and drag and drop where you want." I'm not aware of anytime since layouts were first introduced in AutoCAD 2000 that holding CTRL was required to move a layout. That's what used to copy a layout, not move it. I get a video showing how you can click and drag to move layouts and that a new button was added to create a new layout!

13. Unconfirmed - Cannot copy a layout by selecting a layout tab, hold CTRL and drag left or right. (Just started an SR)
This has been confirmed and reported to the AutoCAD dev team:
Below is feedback on the issues that have been identified.
1. Confirmed - Survey Database edited and/or created with 2015 cannot be opened by a previous version of C3D. – Autodesk Confirmed. We are actively researching options for mitigating this issue.
2. Confirmed - Delete a survey figure from the panorama results in a crash and the figure(s) not deleted. – Autodesk Confirmed. We are able to reproduce this issue and are actively researching a solution.
3. Confirmed - Map support path not created on install, resulting in Map commands not working. – Autodesk Confirmed - Resolution is to add the support file path as defined in the tech solution.
4. Confirmed - MAPIINSERT still not reading the GeoTIFF header UNITS at all, resulting in some images in US survey feet being brought in as meters. – Autodesk; We will research with Map team.
5. Unconfirmed - Extracting swept solids from a corridor does not work in 2015. - Autodesk Confirmed (Initial). We are able to reproduce this issue and are actively researching a solution. Solids are properly created when using the "based on corridor sampling" options (aka, matching frequency locations). Also, when using the "swept" option, bodies will be created from Corridor Links, however solids will not be created from corridor shapes. Those who are creating solids that reflect the exact corridor definition (e.g., frequency locations) will not be impacted. Side note – I'm interested to know more about when/why people would use the Swept creation option vs. the frequency-based options (default). Feel free to email me directly (email@example.com).
6. Unconfirmed - Creating a surface from a RCS file is not in C3D 2015 – AutoCAD 2015 introduced a new point cloud object which we were not able to support within the legacy Civil 3D point cloud tools. The legacy point cloud object (built from .ISD format files) still exists which you can use to Create C3D surfaces and point groups. The challenge is that the legacy point cloud support no longer includes the ability to read an RCS file. We completely agree that a workflow to enable users to create a bare-earth surface from an RCS point cloud is necessary. I can't share any more info on plans at this time but it is something that we are actively researching.
7. Unconfirmed - Geolocation ribbon tab by default getting focus all the time. – This is core AutoCAD behavior. The ribbon tab is activated when you set drawing to use a coordinate system. It's also active when you first open a drawing with a coordinate system set or with an image activated. We'll investigate options for limiting the frequency that the Geolocation ribbon tab becomes active.
8. Unconfirmed - Command line bar width forgetting its width after close. – Autodesk; We've not yet been able to reproduce this.
9. Unconfirmed - Toggling the lineweight button results in the command line reporting strange messages, even though the lineweights are working correctly. – Autodesk Confirmed (Initial assessment) – The Lineweight command is working properly so this shouldn't impact workflows. However, incorrect text is being echoed to the command line. We're researching a solution.
10. Unconfirmed - Audit sometimes reports many hundreds of thousands or even millions of objects in model and paper spaces. – Autodesk; I've not yet been able to reproduce this but we'll research.
11. Unconfirmed - The bug where MrSid images shift in a viewport that's had a UCS rotated has not been fixed. – Autodesk; I've not yet been able to reproduce this but we'll research.
12. Confirmed - Material Take Off computes the half areas of the materials, when you have more than one baselines. – Autodesk Confirmed. We've confirmed that this issue exists in corridor areas that are composed of non-parallel multi-baseline regions (e.g., turn lane region in an intersection). We are actively researching a solution. For clarity - The earlier issue of materials only being calculated for a single baseline corridor (R2014 SP1) is not an issue with R2015.
I'm not able to go into details on timing/plans for addressing future product plans publicly. We'll update you as things solidify.

Just a comment on the AUDIT issue: the report may be accurate if it is literal. Entities are objects but not all objects are entities. Since Civil3D works with a lot of data and that data is stored in objects, AUDIT has to check them as well.
What is the status on Case ID: 09521000 (Medians crossing centerline)? I first reported this last June, so that will be a year now here soon. This functionality is vital to our real-world corridor workflows.
As you can see they downgraded the severity-level to Standard from the Urgent status that I originally submitted for the 2015 instance, and subsequently closed the case.
What are the typical reasons that something like this cannot be addressed within a year's time?
Hi Fred
I'm not sure of why the defect / case was closed but we'll look at the issue. It could be that it was mixed in with the other subassemblies that were updated. I'll provide more info once I research.
Dave Simeone
...I'm not sure of why the defect / case was closed but we'll look at the issue...
This sheds light on why the defect cases take so long, or are never resolved on the downstream side of the new releases. My confirmed defect cases always get immediately closed.
You still need to figure out how mitigate the unacceptable amount defects that are created and transmitted through the new software releases... the upstream side. Blatant ones such as the Section Editor View debacle in 2014.
Here is something akin to that for 2015... Involving the basic essence of functionality for GEOMAP...now broken with the new release. The ability to simply place the map over your project coordinates.
It's not a lack of technical talent issue. It's a quality control management execution issue, that I see being perpetuated.
Case ID: 09515281:
11. Unconfirmed - The bug where MrSid images shift in a viewport that's had a UCS rotated has not been fixed. – Autodesk; I've not yet been able to reproduce this but we'll research.
This was confirmed in case no. 09410979. I had uploaded a 2.34GB SID file for testing and they confirmed this in the 2015 version.
Confirmed - C3D 2014/2015 - data shortcut pipe network objects not honoring drawing-specific styles. Autodesk working to resolve this issue.
Create a pipe network in a parent drawing.
Start a 'child' drawing from the same template (ie, has all the same styles built in).
Data short-cut the pipe network from the parent drawing into the child.
In the child drawing, change the style of a pipe network object (either structures or pipes, both are affected).
Make a edit to the parent drawing to prompt the child drawing to request synchronization.
Synchronize the network in the child drawing.
Styles that were changed in the child drawing revert to those applied in the parent drawing

Ah, the Lifestyle of a rapper on the rise: the stratospheric stacks of cash, the adoring groupies, the expensive liquors – huh? That's not actually how it works? On his latest mixtape leak, Los Angeles native Ab-Soul gives us a glimpse into his unusual position as an up-and-coming emcee on the cusp of his big break, but still struggling to make ends meet: "I'm broke but almost famous, how should I explain this?" Flowing over Sounwave's smooth string samples, the MayDay rapper describes how his life has changed since he accompanied Game on his L.A.X Tour (for example, the Crips in his neighborhood now assume he's a Blood affiliate – now that's awkward). Fellow West Coast mainstay Jay Rock handles guest duties, suggesting a solution to the headliner's anxieties: "Twist the swisher up, let's get high…" Regardless of how tough the going is at the moment, it seems that Ab-Soul's headed in the right direction – if you agree, you'll be able to hear plenty more from the Left Coast buzzmaker on his 2DopeBoyz/DJBooth.net-sponsored Long Term 2 mixtape, due out on June 28.

Yoga & Pilates
Focusing on wellness, authenticity and the traditions of yoga, enjoy the benefits of our beautiful and fully equipped Starfish Studio by the sea.
A Vibrant New Yoga Program
The Kingfisher Oceanside Resort and Spa offers an abundance of amenities including our beautiful yoga space, the Starfish Studio. The space is large and filled with natural light, a hard floor, fresh ocean breezes in the summer, candles and firelight in cooler weather. We offer mats, towels, eye pillows, hard and soft blocks, bolsters and specialized Pilates equipment for those who appreciate the luxury of arriving and departing a yoga class without the burden of gear.
The Kingfisher Oceanside Resort and Spa has always been known for it's restorative wellness environment. We have offered the deeper and more profound aspects of wellness for over fifteen years with a dedicated in house yoga program. Starting in September 2014 there have been amazing additions to our schedule and teaching staff. We focus on offering a relaxing, balanced program of Restorative and Hatha Yoga classes, striving to bring the best to our guests and clients. There is vitality in addressing varying fitness levels and yoga styles.
We have the privilege of engaging with the great local yoga community in the Comox Valley with this new program. The Valley is a special place for those with healing gifts; it's also a place where locals embrace extraordinary physical wellness and wholeheartedly engage with others.

Some are training graduates who keep their yoga fresh by following a close mentorship of yoga under guidance from their teacher.
The new schedule cultivates strong integrity that honours the traditions of yoga. We are not here to offer yoga for fitness purposes exclusively. In every class you'll find yoga philosophy and teachings inspired by the ancient yogic texts and sutras, forged in our own lives.
Progressive classes are a new addition to the program. These are 90 minute classes for those who want to increase and develop their practice. As the classes are preregistered, the instructor will be delivering the class content to the level of the preregistered class. Because this is a new feature at the Kingfisher we've priced each series of 6 classes very low to make it attractive to local yoga practitioners. Of course we complement each yoga session with access to the pool, sauna, steam cave, hot pool and showers to make the most of your visit to our beautiful studio.

Linux 3.12 To Support AMD "Berlin" HSA APU
Published on 30 August 2013 06:23 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
Linux 3.11
kernel hasn't even been released yet but the Radeon DRM driver changes for the
Linux 3.12 kernel
are already lined up and waiting to be pulled into the drm-next tree.
Alex Deucher publisher on Friday his feature Git tree for merging into the Linux 3.12 kernel. The key changes that will land in the kernel for the open-source AMD Linux graphics driver includes:
- Support for Dynamic Power Management on Radeon HD 8000 (Sea Islands / CIK) GPUs (the Linux 3.11 kernel brought Radeon DPM support for pre-8000 series hardware).
- Support for Active-State Power Management (ASPM) on Radeon HD 8000 series hardware (like the DPM support, pre-CIK hardware has ASPM handling as of Linux 3.11).
- Support for Berlin GPUs. Berlin is AMD's codename for their first server APU built on their much talked about Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA). Berlin is an x86 APU and its graphics are derived from the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture (effectively the HD 7000 series). AMD Berlin APUs aren't expected to ship until H1'2014 so it's nice to see the graphics support land very early.
- Major ring handling clean-up.
- Removal of old 3D blit code for buffer object moves. Buffer object moves are now handled by the faster CP DMA or sDMA engines.
- Lots of bug-fixes.
The changes exciting us the most is the ASPM/DPM support coming for the AMD Radeon HD 8000 series hardware and then the early support for the AMD "Berlin" APU graphics.
The Radeon drm-next 3.12 pull request with the complete list of changes can be found on the
dri-devel mailing list

The Life of Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was an activist and lawyer who became the country's first black president and one of the most respected statesmen in the world after being jailed for 27 years. He passed away on Dec. 5, 2013.
Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, credited with ending apartheid there, died Thursday, Dec, 5, 2013. He was 95 years old.

Lawyer and Activist
Mandela became a lawyer and helped open the first black law firm in South Africa, in Johannesburg in 1952 to provide free or affordable representation to blacks and challenge apartheid. He is pictured here in 1961. Photo: STF/AFP/Getty Images
Wedding day

Accused of treason
Mandela became a well known anti-apartheid activist and leader in the African National Congress. He and nine other men were accused of conspiracy, sabotage and treason in 1964 for activities related to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation), a branch of the ANC focused on armed struggle against the white minority government. In this photo, the defendants raise their fists in defiance through the windows of the prison car. Photo: OFF/AFP/Getty Images
Sentenced to life
On June 12, 1964, Mandela and seven other defendants were convicted of sabotage and sentenced to life in prison. During the trial, Mandela had prepared for the possibility of the death sentence and made this famous declaration: "I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." Photo: OFF/AFP/Getty Images
18 years
Mandela would remain in prison for a total of 27 years, 18 of which were spent in this cell on Robben Island, off the coast of Cape Town. He was forced to do hard labor in the quarry on the island with other prisoners. Photo: Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images
Mandela was released from prison at the age of 71 on Feb. 11, 1990. By the time he was freed, then-President Frederik Willem de Klerk was beginning to dismantle the apartheid system. "Today the majority of South Africans, black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future," Mandela said in a speech upon his release. "Our march to freedom is irreversible."

Soweto welcomes Mandela home
Crowds of supporters across South Africa danced in the streets on news of Mandela's release and some clashed with police officers. A mass rally was held in the Johannesburg township Soweto on Feb. 12, 1990, (pictured here) to welcome the leader home. Photo: PHILIP LITTLETON/AFP/Getty Images
International statesman
Months after his release, Mandela visited heads of state in countries in Europe and North America. Former U.S. President Bush had promised to invite both South African President DeKlerk and Mandela to Washington if Mandela was freed, in an effort to boost the process of government negotiations. He followed through and met with Mandela in June that year. Photo: KEVIN LARKIN/AFP/Getty Images)
Family ties
Mandela had four children with his first wife and two daughters with Winnie, including Zindzi, seen here on her wedding day in 1992. He lost three of his children with first wife Evelyn Ntoko Mase -- a baby girl in 1947, their eldest son to a car crash while Mandela was in prison, and their second son died in 2005 of AIDS-related illness.

Nobel Prize winners
In 1993, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nelson Mandela and Frederik Willem de Klerk "for their work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa." The next year, South Africa held its first democratic election. Photo: GERARD JULIEN/AFP/Getty Images
Campaigning for president
Young ANC supporters wait for Nelson Mandela atop a billboard in a township outside Durban in April 1994. The country's first democratic election was held April 27, 1994, formally ending the apartheid era. That day, Mandela also voted for the first time in his life.

South Africa's president
The ANC was victorious and Mandela was inaugurated May 10, 1994. "We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrificed in many ways and surrendered their lives so that we could be free," Mandela said in his inauguration speech. "Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward." Photo: WALTER DHLADHLA/AFP/Getty Images
World Cup 2010
After stepping down as president after one term in 1999, Mandela continued to be a face of South Africa's new democracy to the world, including campaigning for the country to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup. South Africa won the bid in 2004, and last year became the first African country to host the tournament. In this photo, Mandela waves next to his third wife Graca Machel during the final match between Netherlands and Spain at on July 11, 2010. Photo: Mike Hewitt - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images

Hi: 7° Lo:5°
By Tristan Harris Friday 25 July 2014 Updated: 25/07 12:02
TWO groups of seven young carers from Worcestershire were given a special treat at Tardebigge Wharf last Thursday (July 17) to reward them for the hard work they do.
They were given a trip along the Worcester to Birmingham Canal on the long day boat Emma, thanks to a link up between Bromsgrove Lions Club and Anglo Welsh Waterways Holidays.
While the one group went out on the boat, the other participated in other activities on the wharf and then after a picnic lunch, which was provided by Morrisons in Rubery, the groups swapped over and did the other activity.
Lion Keith Godwin said: "When we were given the opportunity to take Emma for a day trip, we immediately thought of the young carers in our area as they are such a deserving group and we were delighted to be able to offer them the day as a special treat.
"And, thanks to Anglo Welsh and its staff at Tardebigge Wharf, the young carers enjoyed a great break from their usual routine - a fantastic time was had by all."
Matt Anderson, the manager of the Anglo Welsh Tardebigge base, said: "Canals are wonderfully relaxing places to visit.
"Travelling at just 4mph, it was definitely the fastest way for them to slow down and take a break from all the amazing hard work they do for their families."
Mary Lewis, Worcestershire Young Carers' leader team manager, said: "We work with young carers from as young as seven up to 25 years-old, who carry out a broad range of caring roles for their loved ones.
"These are children and young people with a lot of responsibilities on young shoulders, so the canal boat trip was a splendid opportunity for them to relax and enjoy an activity that they wouldn't otherwise have access to."
She concluded by thanking all those involved for putting on the event.

The lust of a dream is far greater than the satisfaction of obtaining it.
As I prepare for the change of direction that is inevitable in my life, I am filled with excitement and hope. I know, however, that reality will soon dawn. My life is just that, life. No different than anyone else's, nor special, nor meaningful.
I appreciate and take pride in the strides I have made. I value the relationships with the ones in my life. I feel compassion and sorrow and a great scope of emotions that remind me that I am human.
For every shift in my life I feel is the equivalent of a child curiously looking under rocks. Will I find what I'm looking for here?

Dinner for Two--$20 or under
Please help me out here.
A friend and her long term lover have been eating at the Old Country Buffet in Watertown four nights a week! He likes to take her out their because he considers it "good value." He uses coupons, etc, to make it even cheaper than it is anyway. But even though she's hardly a foodie, it's really wearing on her.
I told her I could readily find her some other spots where they could have dinner for under $20.
To say they have conventional tastes is putting it mildly. He wants meat and two veg, and she wants fish and two veg. They'll go for the occasional Chinese or Italian or Mexican--I'm not sure about their spice tolerance.
Well, after Great Taste and Hong Kong Eatery, I found myself longing for other suggestions and other points of view about this. Good pizza, a good diner--it doesn't have to be fancy. But I would like to help them find some new places she really good enjoy, while staying within his financial constraints.
Any suggestions most welcome, and I will past them along.
thanks to you all--
They could split a pizza at Flatbread Co., Somerville.
In Watertown, there's Friendly's or Miller's Ale House, both pretty cheap.
They could try an 'upscale' burger place like Tasty Burger or Boston Burger Co. The latter has a conch burger she might like.
if she signs up the email list for the mount vernon in east somerville near sullivan, she'll get a weekly email advertising on Monday, this week for example, twin boiled lobsters for $10.99 and a tues. haddock special for under $10. They also have relatively unadvertised specials of two meals including soup, salad, veg, main course such as fish or pork chop for a bit over $20 every day. It's really very old school but there is parking in an adjacent lot and popovers or a loaf of bread brought to your table. I've never had the 2 for $20, as I go for simple stuff like a sandwich when I need to get out of the house and need a break from caring for a special needs child. full bar, which they may not want or need! no spice issues unless someone springs for the buffalo chicken appetizer, which is very spicy. It's not a buffet, but it is sit down service.
re: Madrid
Yes, thanks, I just had the lobster special with her at the Mount Vernon, Monday.
Lover has prejudice against the Mount Vernon, but other wise, you've got the idea.
Thanks for the suggestions, all, and please keep them coming.
re: femmevox
well, if he is prejudiced against the Mount Vernon and likes the Old Country Buffet (I know, it's for the "value"), he probably likes the S&S in Inman Square too. Or would. There is a lot where you can park for free if you get lucky. There is also the happy pricing at Grendel's Den in Harvard Square.
re: Madrid
Busy Bee in Brookline serves full dinners all day Mon-Fri and most are under 10 bucks.
Where do they live? About 15mins from the watertown buffet, I live in Arlington,,I would recommend Zocalo in Arlington (mexican), or Greek Corner in North Cambridge. Two really good restaurants where a dinner for 2could be had for 20$.
All my best frugal suggestions require a bit of adventurousness from the timid. I think a lot of so-called challenging food is only tough to face down when you don't have a trusted guide for your first visit or two. For instance, the soft tofu soup / dinner entree (BBQ, stone pot, bibimbap) combo at Kaju Tofu House in Allston is a tremendous deal ($17-$20), especially when you figure in the rice and panchan, but that's going to freak out your typical Old Country Buffet aficionado without someone to explain things to them.
I'd be looking to steer them to the Super 88 food court, Eastie tacquerias, and weigh-your-plate churrascarias, for starters.
re: MC Slim JB
and who knows, this could be a great step forward for their relationship as well! Take an adventure. I love the idea of them in an Eastie tacqueria a lot more than at the Mount vernon or the S&S! Hey, maybe they could take a water taxi to the KO Pies location at the shipyard in Eastie.
re: MC Slim JB
i was also thinking of ethnic places such as rod dee, china-town, super 88, etc. Just make sure that the heat is dialed down to the requirements of the patrons. the problem is usually that you cannot get them to turn up the heat, not turn it down.
re: MC Slim JB
If you go Friday to a churrascaria with a buffet, they will probably have fish too. Oasis in Medford usually has some kind of basic moqueca and I have seen 'bacalhoada" or Salt Cod at Gauchao. Closer to Watertown is "Panela de Barro" in Waltham and they published their buffet dishes before, but I don't have that handy to confirm fish is included.
Portuguese restaurants generally offer both meat and seafood, sometimes at a lower price point. Portugalia would work at lunch time, but is more expensive at Dinner unless you get some of the sandwich options in the bar. JJ's has a really excellent grilled salt cod (bacalhau a lagareiro) which is outside the budget and their steak doesn't wow me, but you might get out for a bit less with their 1/2 chicken (good) and octopus. If brunch is an option, the Neighborhood could also satisfy both and they have reasonably priced Portuguese lunches too, but no dinner.
And you can sometimes get a decent baked stuffed haddock and steak tips in the same place. Salemwood Cafe might be one option, but you will probably ring up closer to $30.
Jimmy's in Arlington would probably also be along the lines of the couple's tastes and has some good food, but not dinner for 2 at $20.
The Deluxe Town Diner in Watertown might work. They can get Blue Plate Specials of franks and beans, mac and cheese, meatloaf, etc. for about that cost, if they stay away from ordering other food.
the Halfway Cafe in Watertown is doing 7 for $ 7.00 specials this month - see the link
re: MABMAQ
The Halfway Cafe is horrid! Wait -so is The Old Time Buffet...
Seriously, just walking by the place makes me sick to my stomach. I ate there only once (wasn't my choice) & I think I still have heartburn fr the oldoldold grease...yuk. Fitzs nearby on Main St. has nightly specials & would be a better choice, IMHO.
re: gracenote
TWO enthusiastic DITTO thumbs up for Little Q. SO great - fresh, flavorful, choice of protein and choice of broth, lovely staff. Every time I leave Little Q I feel spiritually and physically renewed. Such a great spot. AND very inexpensive. :)
re: gracenote
Really good suggestion. You can be as adventurous or timid as you want there -- everything from steak & fish in a tasty chicken broth to beef tongue and sea cucumber in Mala broth. I'm a big fan of the latter, but they can start with the simple stuff and work upwards :)
re: Boston_Otter
I've eaten at Little Q a couple times, it is great. I didn't recommend it because it does not fall within the 20$ budget constraint. I'd say you could get by for 30-35$ for 2 people there. No way you get a full meal for 2 normal people on 20$. Is it worth $10 extra over these other places? Yes.
re: AaronInBoston
If you ordered carefully, I think you could. Hotpot broth for two is $5.50, a basic meat is $6, fish dumplings are $3, veggie platter is $6. Noodles are another $1.50. So for $22, you can get a decent amount of food for two people... though you're right, $30-35 is more accurate if you want a good variety of stuff. (On the topic of Little Q, next time you're there, get the spicy beef tongue appetizer. It's wonderful.)
Joseph's II on Main St. in Waltham might fit the bill perfectly. They serve dinner on weekend nights. Very old-school, blue-plate (and hair!) kind of place with some decent middle-of-the-road food at affordable prices.
I also second the Half-Way Cafe suggestion.
re: Madrid
Thanks to you all! I forwarded this list, and will let you know what (if anything!) they try.
2 burritos and a side of fried plantains at El Pelon. This is a great time of year to eat at their outdoor tables (in the Fenway): cooler end of summer before the students return en masse.

Stonehenge (AP Photo/Magnum for National Geographic, Chris Steele Perkins)
When you've got a five-thousand-year-old edifice in the middle of your country, with no real clue as to its original purpose, it's understandable that a few whackadoo theories might emerge now and again, and believe you me, the Brits have heard them all. Everything from a sacrificial altar to the landing pad of an alien race to, well, a pandorica.
But this one is rather good, and it comes from Steven Waller, a scientific researcher, working from California. He has a theory that the stones correspond to the rippling arrangement of absences and fortifications that come when two instruments continuously play the same note.
The sound is broken into regularly spaced blocks, where it alternates between cancelling itself out, and reinforcing itself, depending on where you stand in relation to it. This, Waller proposes, will have appeared to be quite magical to neolithic minds, as if there were regularly-spaced physical objects blocking the sound out. And maybe Stonehenge is a physical depiction of those non-existent objects.
So how do you test a theory like this? In Waller's case you set up an air pump and have it blow across two flutes, both playing the same drone note. Then you walk around them and see what happens. He told the American Association for the Advancement of Science (as quoted in the Guardian): "What I found unexpected was how I experienced those regions of quiet. It felt like I was being sheltered from the sound. As if something was protecting me. It gave me a feeling of peace and quiet. "
The next step was to see if other people experienced the same things he did. So he brought in some volunteers, blindfolded them and led them around the same circle, before asking that they draw any obstacles they believed they had experienced. The results were, to Waller, strikingly similar to a view of Stonehenge. One volunteer even drew in the horizontal capstones.
This lead to some theorizing on Waller's part: "If these people in the past were dancing in a circle around two pipers and were experiencing the loud and soft and loud and soft regions that happen when an interference pattern is set up, they would have felt there were these massive objects arranged in a ring. It would have been this completely baffling experience, and anything that was mysterious like that in the past was considered to be magic and supernatural.
"I think that was what motivated them to build the actual structure that matched this virtual impression. It was like a vision that they received from the other world. The design of Stonehenge matches this interference pattern auditory illusion.
"It's not a complete structure now but there is a portion of the ring that still has the big megaliths arranged in the circle. If you have a sound source in the middle of Stonehenge, and you walk around the outside of the big stones, what you experience is alternating loud and soft, loud and soft, loud and soft as you alternately pass by the gaps and the stone, the gaps and the stone.
"So the stones of Stonehenge cast acoustic shadows that mimic an interference pattern."
He also offers as evidence the fact that some of the legends around the stones references walls of air, and two magical pipers, who entice young girls to dance in a circle, before being turned to stone.
Although, to be honest, 'evidence' is almost exactly the wrong word for that last bit.

None Is Too Many
None is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe 1933-1948 is a book co-authored by the Canadian historians Irving Abella and Harold Troper and published in 1983.
First published in 1983 by Lester & Orpen Dennys, the book documents the history of the Canadian response to Jewish refugees from 1933, with the rise of the Nazi government in Germany, and 1948. The authors argue that, while many nations were complicit in the Holocaust for their refusal to admit Jewish refugees during the Nazi era, the Canadian government did less than other Western countries to help Jewish refugees between 1933 and 1948. According to official statistics, 5,000 Jewish refugees entered Canada during this period, the lowest record of any Western country.
The authors identify Frederick Blair, the head of immigration in William Lyon Mackenzie King's government, as a top official who opposed and limited Jewish immigration. They say that Blair's policy had the full support of Mackenzie King, who was prime minister 1935–48; Vincent Massey, the high commissioner to Britain; and both Anglophone and Francophone elites in general.
The title is based on an anecdote recounted in the book. Early in 1945 an unidentified immigration agent was asked how many Jews would be allowed in Canada after the war. He replied "None is too many".

Reality T.V. has gone too far. Not everyone's reality is very interesting, that's WHY people watch TV ! lol. I think we see so much of this crap these days because it's a whole lot cheaper than paying real actors, writers, and other professionals . More profit margin for the producers . The dumbing down of America continues.
You are right about the History channel too, the other night they had a show on about prophecies, I was disgusted that they treated it with any degree of seriousness.
