A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
They were on like Simon LeBonmewling and ambrosial, with a gnashing guitar and buttery highlights that confided a discreet hair shift from traumarama to surfarama. Duran Duran, architecturally the Rem Kool-haas of '80s Britpop, could have bid us, their squeaky, fawning canaries, to plummet off the Millennium Bridge for the love of them. And we would, chronically tossing our asymmetrical bowlies whilst proselytizing the reedy bewitchery of John Nigel Taylor in parachute pants to the depths of the river Thames. Even the hipsters who mashed together last Wednesday night at Webster Hall's "The Ritz," gaunt in their post-trucker-hat sepsisirony can be so taxingMorse-coded their adulation via lyrical mutations on Duranese: "I want you to save a prayer till the morning after," one fey rake commanded his cabana boy. "This is no ordinary world, but I will learn to survive."
My own reverence for the band, partially observed through the nostalgic prism of plodding around to "Careless Memories" with my seventh-grade Knox Overstreet, Matt King, as a puffy, owlish 12-year-old, was amped to rapture after Taylor-Taylor-Taylor (guitarist Andy, drummer Roger, and John on bass, respectively), duenna di mascara-keyboards Nick Rhodes (who is so cerebral and droll; his brain melts things), and pouty-mouth candy Monsignor LeBon opened with the tart, synth-tastic "Friends of Mine." Their deadpan, growly edict to "close the door" slayed. Relatively obscure, "Friends of Mine," from Duran Duran, was a canny choice for a first song, considering that this, the original Duran Duran lineup, now a quarter-century old, had adjourned for a time from playing together, gathering back up only in 2001. Onstage, though, they smirked and cooed like five homecoming princesses who got their nails painted cherries-in-the-snow together before prom.
"Welcome to the helm of the second British Invasion," thundered Simon Le B. before warming up "Rio," and to my right, Roger Taylor's girlfriend's parents beamed. Andy Taylor, simpatico and bashful, slouched behind his space-ageish wraparound specs until "New Religion" compelled him to loop a blistering riff off the rap-ready preamble. By the encorea superb cover of Grandmaster Flash's "White Lines"the Duranicals had swooned us to altitudes ecclesiastic. Nita Rao
Block Rocking Bits
The Tank
August 21
Game Boy Nostalgists Find Harmony of Form and Function
Block Rocking Bits: A Diverse Exploration of the Nintendo Game Boy as Musical Instrument" was the fare de la nuit at the Tank one recent Thursday evening. The small performance-art center's Pompidou-inspired decor resembled the chassis of a work-for-hire jalopy, crayoned paper adding a splash of color to air ducts that lined the ceiling like circuits around a motherboard. "Free" beers ($3 donation requested) were hawked across a thick slab of Formica, as, downstairs, a computer installation barked out Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech. Upstairs, Game Boy DJ Glomag was generating a steady stream of blips and bloops from an iBook hooked into an old-school Game Boy console. As he tapped a key, a dubbed-out Gregorian chant suffused the room, before dissolving into a vaguely familiar tune set to cut-up "My Cherie Amour." Trainspotters nodded smugly. "It's his big hit," one whispered, "a remix of the theme song from Zelda."
The New York-based Nullsleep took the stage next, three Game Boys spliced to a keyboard that was slung over one shoulder like an electric guitar. He played it low, catching tinny riffs and twisting them together like an intergalactic Jimmy Page. As he segued into a Depeche Mode mini-mix, suddenly a voice rang out from the crowd: "Hey!" Former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren came to check out "folktronic" Game Boy artist Mark Denardo. "These kids are humanizing electronic music," McLaren said after the set. "It's just like rock and hip-hop weretotally DIY. It's the beginning of the look and sound of 21st-century pop culture."
Brooklyn's Bitshifter closed the night, working with two Game Boys and a laptop, manipulating hiccup-y glitches to create a steady bed of danceable synth-pop loops. "Wonderful," breathed McLaren. People clapped and stomped their feet. And, when two fans finally got up to get down, it almost felt like a revolution. Adrienne Day

NBA Offseason Buzz: Chicago Bulls
Despite losing Gordon, young nucleus has team on the rise
For most teams, the Bulls' offseason would qualify as an unmitigated disappointment. They did not fill their need for a low-post scorer, though they were apparently close enough to getting Carlos Boozer for him to publicly make veiled goodbyes to Utah. On top of that, they lost shooting guard Ben Gordon, who signed with Detroit after averaging 24 points a game in the Bulls' thrilling seven-game series with Boston.
But don't be surprised if the Bulls improve on last season's 41-41 record and seventh playoff seed. This is, by and large, a young team with plenty of room for growth from NBA Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose to second-year coach Vinny Del Negro. Their 17-11 pace to close the season after acquiring Brad Miller and John Salmons is easily attainable.
Gordon, for all his offensive explosiveness and clutch scoring, was a defensive liability and took his share of ill-advised, play-breaking shots. Luol Deng, who played only 49 games, is apparently healthy, and both he and Rose are capable of making up for Gordon's scoring punch while giving a stauncher effort on defense.

On Feb. 2, someone ran into the control box for the traffic lights at University and Grand avenues. The lights have been out of order ever since.
The cost of repairs will be $20,000 to $30,000, said Christina Romero, the Department of Transportation's spokeswoman. That is so high the department decided to make the intersection a four-way stop until it completes a project to improve that area of Grand Avenue, she said.
Such improvements may not be finished until 2010 or 2011.
"It will be an extended temporary fix," Romero said.
West Las Vegas High School Principal Gene Parson said the 2009 State Champion Honors Choir has again proved, beyond a doubt, that it is the best in the area and possibly the state.
The Honors Choir, directed by Arnell David Arellanes, recently met the difficult challenge of defending last year's state title and returned home as back-to-back state champions. Besides winning the blue trophy in district 3A, the choir placed in the top five in all categories, A through AAAAA.
There's a reason for the state Open Meetings Act — to require governing bodies to conduct public business openly. After all, the people have every right to see their government in action — we're paying the bills.
In recent months, however, the mayor and three Las Vegas City Council members have been privately communicating by e-mail. When a council quorum is discussing public business outside of an open meeting, that's a violation of the Open Meetings Act.
The latest news about the case against Roberta Vigil, former bilingual program coordinator for the West Las Vegas School District, is that her husband, state Rep. Richard Vigil, took the Fifth when questioned by prosecutors working on the case. No great revelation there, since witnesses in a previous hearing testified that he was a party to the criminal activity she is accused of having committed.
The City Council on Wednesday voted to hire Santa Rosa City Manager Timothy Dodge to take the same position in Las Vegas.
The decision followed a statement by Mayor Tony Marquez, who apologized to the community for the learning curve in his first year as mayor.
In a unanimous vote, the council picked Dodge over Dan Dible, who served as Las Vegas city manager in the 1980s. Dodge, a Highlands University graduate, has served as Santa Rosa's manager for the last four years.
Grand Avenue is going to stay as it's been for decades — four lanes.
The City Council had already voted in favor of a project to improve a five-block downtown portion of Grand. But it had delayed the dicey issue of whether to go with two lanes — as a merchants group advocated — or keeping it at four.
At a meeting Wednesday, the council voted 3-2 to keep the same number of lanes.
My dad, who lived to be 94, might have been called a dandy in his younger days. We don't use the term much nowadays, and for those too young to have heard it, it describes someone overly concerned with appearance.
Today's most proximate term might be "metrosexual," although not all the connotations of the term apply to Dad. And in absolute fairness to him, I emphasize he worked hard to support his family of eight. But he still liked being dressed up.
"We succeeded beyond my wildest expectations," said Emelie Olson, organizer of the Solar Homes Tour on Feb. 7.
"Over 100 people visited each of the three houses during the tour, far more than any of us expected."
Most of these visitors apparently attended all three houses, each of which conducted their tours somewhat differently. At Linda Halouzka's house, she showed people around her house and yard informally.
Back when I was a young fella, and attending public schools, the little bit we were taught about ecology, biology and the laws of nature could be summed up as follows: "Everything competes, the strong eat the weak, survival of the fittest is the rule, and the devil takes the hindmost."
This was the conventional take on Darwinism, and when used to justify laissez faire economics and cutthroat capitalism, such thinking was called "social Darwinism."
The City Council is expected to decide this week whether to reduce the downtown portion of Grand Avenue from four lanes to two.
Merchants groups are pushing for two lanes, while some leaders on Las Vegas' west side are pushing to keep it four, contending that slower traffic means more motorists would use New Mexico Avenue instead.
Meanwhile, an official warns that the city could lose $1.2 million in federal funds if a decision isn't made soon.

Good news out of the UK this morning with Australia's Richard Flanagan winning the 2014 Man Booker Prize for his novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North (Random House).
It is a gripping read, based on Flanagan's father's harrowing experience as a Japanese prisoner-of-war on Burma's 'Death Railway'. Man Booker judges described the book as something that 'kicks you so hard in the stomach' it takes the breath away.
On Remembrance Day 2013 Executive Director Michael Fullilove hosted Richard at the Lowy Institute, reflecting on war, memory, the Australian character and the relationship between fiction and history. Michael and Richard held a fascinating conversation about Richard's motivations for writing the book, as well as the extensive research and twelve-year-long writing process. You can listen to the podcast here, or watch below Michael's short video interview with Richard.
In a new Lowy Institute Analysis launched today, Nicholas Humphries, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service Fellow at the Lowy Institute, examines how Customs can increase Australia's trade competitiveness at a time when goods and services are increasingly produced across borders in so-called 'global value chains'.
The Analysis argues that to harness the opportunities of a changing global trading environment, Customs must develop an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) program. AEO programs are currently being established around the world as a means of rewarding low-risk traders with secure supply chains. Humphries argues that an AEO program will enable Customs to help Australian industry exploit new global trading opportunities, while still providing the Australian community with border protection services.
'Without an AEO program, Australia is at a severe competitive disadvantage', argues report author Nicholas Humphries.
The Analysis can be downloaded from the Lowy Institute website. It was written as a part of the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service Fellowship at the Lowy Institute.

Last night the Lowy Institute announced ABC Middle East correspondent Hayden Cooper as the winner of the 2014 Lowy Institute Media Award for his ABC Foreign Correspondent report on journalist Peter Greste. You can watch Hayden's acceptance speech above.
Other finalists selected by the judges were Amanda Hodge (The Australian) for her work on the Indian elections and sexual violence in India, Christopher Joye (Australian Financial Review) for his coverage of intelligence and spying issues, Michael Bachelard (Fairfax Indonesia correspondent) for his reporting on the Indonesian elections, and Michael Edwards (ABC) for his coverage of the polio epidemic in Pakistan.
'Cooper's coverage of the trial, and his compelling interviews with Greste's colleagues and family, exposed the personal risks all foreign correspondents take reporting from countries in turmoil. Cooper's telling of Greste's story is a deserving winner', said Lowy Institute Executive Director Michael Fullilove, who was a member of the Media Award judging panel along with former Australian Senator and diplomat Amanda Vanstone, multi award-winning journalist Chris Masters, former foreign correspondent Jane Hutcheon, and Lowy Institute Board Director Mark Ryan.
The keynote address at last night's award ceremony was delivered by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who said 'We are often reminded that our freedoms, our way of life are secured because our defence forces are prepared to put their lives on the line. We should not forget that the price of the news we read every day, of the transparency, accountability indeed democracy that only a free press can ensure is all too often paid in lives and liberty put at risk by journalists like Peter Greste.'
In a new Lowy Institute Analysis launched today, International Security Program Director Rory Medcalf and Nonresident Fellow C Raja Mohan argue that Indo-Pacific middle powers should look to build security coalitions in response to changing power balances in Asia.
China's increasing assertiveness and doubts about America's role in the Indo-Pacific have resulted in enhanced security cooperation between middle powers in the region. 'With Tony Abbott and Narendra Modi due to meet in the coming months, India and Australia are well placed to form the core of middle power coalition building', says C Raja Mohan in the new paper.
The Analysis argues that cooperation between Indo-Pacific middle power coalitions would help them deal with the uncertainties surrounding the future of US-China relations while helping to build a more multipolar Indo-Pacific order. 'The next logical step should be the creation of "middle power coalitions". These informal arrangements will allow regional players to cooperate on strategic issues in groups that do not include China or the US', says Rory Medcalf in the paper.
Key findings:
The Analysis is free to download from the Lowy Institute website.

Last night I found myself looking at my journals from a year ago, the week before the Lincoln HM. Weights - very similar. State of mind? Similar... feeling like I hadn't trained well enough. Without the added pressure of having signed for the full and dropping back to the half, I had these jitters a year ago, too. Must be normal, huh?
Anyway, it still hasn't rained, although it's been in the forecast. Last night I didn't water, anticipating rain. Now I'm feeling grumpy because I didn't.
Will this year's HM bring me back to training life? Or will I collapse in a heap and declare this chapter of athleticism "done"? Time will tell. For now, we'll just call it pre-race jitters.
From yesterday.
This morning:
I think it's just the sun was higher when I took it, but it looks greener, at least. One day. Waiting.
Five days to the Lincoln HM. Today's reminders:
Let it go.
Put one foot in front of another, and do what you CAN.
Drink that water.
Eat what's in the bag, it's why you packed it.
Take those break walks... you are worth it!
Confession: I read other people's blogs about their at-home projects and I despair of ever being that kind of person... I rather suspect that some of my neighbors would like to toss me out of suburbia for offenses such as this one -
Yes, my yard. It's had seed spread, but I do not have operational underground sprinklers, and most of the neighborhood do. I can almost feel them sniffing as they walk their dogs or themselves by. In fact, last night as I was out hauling hose and trying to wet it down... a couple walked by and made some polite comment about whether I was "going to have to reseed". Obviously they could not tell I already had that done... nothing is happening yet.
Sigh. I rather suspect it's going to be mega bucks to get the sprinkler system "fixed". But on Friday someone is coming out to look at it.
The good news is that KALIGIRL has seen my horrible lawn and is STILL willing to go do stuff with me... so as I am not the number on the scale, I am also not the state of my lawn.
I read somewhere that some of third world descent had gone to college in Colorado, looked at all the water being spent to grow grass lawns and called it obscene. I'm afraid I have a bit of that attitude in me. We're not quite past the drought yet. And I hate "wasting" water on grass. Sorry, just an attitude I have... rebel in the heart.
'Nuff of that... on to the pep talk - it's Monday, so back to work:
1) Remember to breathe.
2) Drink your water.
3) The candy bar in the vending machine will not make the demands of the project go away.
4) Eat what's in the bag... it's good for you, and that's why you packed it.
5) And Remember to take those break walks, even if not at the "normal" time!
BECAUSE - You're worth taking care of!
and... only 6 days to the Half Marathon!
LIFE is good. Spark on.
Last Sunday I swam. Today I did again, more crawl this time, and in fact, targeted as the first workout of a beginner triathlon training plan. Yesterday was the first bike ride of the season. I find myself starting to toy with the idea of repeating my "baby sprint" triathlon outing in July.
Not that I suddenly have a ton of time to train... but it makes me smile to train. It makes me smile to move. Having a "race" in mind helps me remember to actually go do it. So, with the CSG triathlon (July 28th) in mind, not signed up yet (and maybe won't, but while there's training going on there is hope I might)... time to start rotating sports.
A week 'til the half marathon, folks... my cross-training is a form of tapering for that outing, too. Is it just me? Or is there the hope of Spring busting out around Spark?
Life is good, people. You are worth living it for. Spark on!
I got an invitation earlier in the week to go bike riding this morning with KALIGIRL and her collection of (offline) friends who also bike. It was my first outing of the year on my trusty Brenda Starr Trek!
Weather was in the 40's (F), and misty, but the roads/trails were dry... and what a great time we had. There were only three of us in our group this morning and we were ALL out for the first ride of the season. My legs sure told me it was the first ride, coming up that last hill. I observed I was about three gears down from last year's max going up that hill.
At our stop downtown for breakfast, it was hilarious... we all three had our Smart Phones out swapping tips on various tracking apps, but the really fun part was remembering that we are ALL of "such an age" that mostly we remember exercise/biking/having fun as kids without all this technology! Nowadays to get SOME kids out the door or off the couch, you have to START them with technology!
But we looked like those clumps of 20 somethings who go out to eat together and then rather than be breakfasting with our newspapers... we were navigating web sites and pointing at stories on the web! We may not be TOTALLY up with the kids, but for a bunch of over 50's (60's in my case), we're not doing so bad.
After our break, we stopped also at a relatively new local landmark, the Jayne Snyder Trails Center, which supports the hiking/biking trails. They were having an open house, and we stopped in before heading home.
In short... good time had by all, and the needs of mind, body and spirit fed! We shall see how much fitter we feel by the end of the biking season next fall!

Protecting WordPress and your website
It has come to my attention that WordPress is currently under the largest brute force attack in its history. What is a brute force attack? Well, it's pretty simple… It's when a botnet is created that uses thousands of computers that repeatedly try password and username combinations to gain access to your WordPress control panel and, therefore, your entire website. Once they have access to your site, they can do pretty much anything they want with it, including the addition of malware (the most common goal) or simply breaking/deleting your site. I'll get right down to it. Here are a... View Article

Pesky Pole Papi Power [VIDEO]
It wasn't quite a walk off home run but it felt like it. David Ortiz crushed a 3-run homer past the Pesky Pole in the bottom of the 8th inning to give the Sox a 4-2 win over the Texas Rangers. Koji Uehara finished the deal in the 9th and the Sox head to New York with two wins in the three game series vs Texas

HRI Lodging to Manage Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort

CHANDLER, AZ—HRI Lodging is now managing the historic Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort here.
Interwest Capital acquired the property in January 2013 and completed $8.5 million in renovations in fourth-quarter 2013. The resort will be HRI Lodging's first hotel under the IHG flag and brings HRI Lodging's total portfolio of hotels to 17.
HRI Lodging now manages three of Interwest Capital's properties, including the Hyatt Place New Orleans/Convention Center and the Hampton Inn & Suites Birmingham-Downtown-Tutwiler.
"This resort's rich history represents a great fit to our portfolio of historic branded and boutique hotels," stated Gary Gutierrez, president of HRI Lodging.
Dr. Alexander J. Chandler founded the town that bears his name southeast of Phoenix in 1912 and constructed the San Marcos there as part of a master design to create a totally planned community. Arthur Bennett Benton, an architect from Southern California, designed the resort in the Mission Revival Design. One of the identifying design features of the resort was the pergolas that framed the building and formed a shady passageway.
The San Marcos opened for business in 1913 with full resort amenities, including golf, tennis, horseback riding and polo. Grace Perley Robinson managed the property, and her husband, Will H. Robinson, designed and built the resort's 100-acre golf course in 1913. One year later, the course was seeded with Bermuda grass and became the first grass golf course in Arizona.
Five hundred people attended the grand opening on November 22, 1913, including then U.S. Vice President Thomas Marshall. The San Marcos became a place where the rich and famous flocked to year after year. At the time of its opening, the resort offered 35 guestrooms, a lobby, dining room, ballroom, retail shops, and administrative offices.
The Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort now offers 248 rooms and more than 35,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space. Amenities include dining, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour business center, a fitness center and a golf pro shop. The property's USGA championship golf course features 18 holes, complete with a driving range. The course will undergo $3.5 million in renovations during the summer.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

I would be very wary of buying a refurb of this charger again. I bought 2 'brand new' ones about 2 yrs ago and they were fine.
Bought 5 refurbished on a similar deal about 9 mos ago and 4 out of the 5 were DOA. The LED light on the end would work and the USB port on the end would supply power, but it would not charge the IPhone: a 3G or a 4. They were probably returned and only the led and usb were checked and checked off as good and put into refurb stock. On 3 of them I cracked open the piece that goes into the iphone, and you could see a wire had come loose. I had to crack open the 1 that worked to see what pin it was supposed to be attached to, resoldered it and they worked. But a lot of pain in the rear to get it working. That plus opening it breaks off little plastic tabs that hold it together so I had to wrap it in electrical tape to hold it back together-classy.

You need to have a FFL of the appropriate class to have it shipped directly to you. FFL = federal firearms license.
Or you find a license holder near you, possibly your local gun shop, and have the gun shipped to them. The local FFL holder will be responsible conducting the transaction under all Federal, State and local laws. Normally a fee from $10 to $50 is charged, with $25 being common.
What type of gun is it? Black powder weapons can be shipped to your door in some/most states, no FFL required.
I'd plan on shipping any gun to the local FFL at the LGS.
You CAN get guns cheaper online, but count the costs.
1) The gun....................(example)........300$
2)Shipping........................................ ...35$
3)Insurance....................................... ...21$
4)FNLE check at FFL..............................25$
total:..................391$(before taxes, if any)
So, IF you're saving 200-300$ fine. If you think you're
going to save 15$ over what's being charged at the store,
you're wasting your time...
I have a few guns sent to an FFL. In doing this, you have to look at the total cost. It may save me some money, but it has a down side. The last time I got a new gun, I knew what it would cost to put it in my hands over the internet, and had that in mind at the gun show. When I found a dealer with the gun, I used that number to talk him down. He gave me my price, plus taxes, but I was able to check the gun out and had it in my hands that day. I would say use the Internet to research, but plan on buying in a store. That plan does NOT stop me from looking at gunbroker often, cause you can find some good deals.
Good information- but to cut to the heart of original question- Federal law requires that when ownership of a non-antique/ non-muzzleloading gun is being transferred across a state line, the gun must be sent TO a holder of a Federal Firearms License (FFL) in your home state. That is normally a dealer.
You buy the gun from a seller in state A. You live in state B. You have a dealer in state B send the seller his Dealer's FFL information. Seller ships the gun to your dealer. You go see dealer, do the same paperwork as if you were buying the gun from him. He runs background check. When everything is done, you pay your dealer for his time. There is no set fee- some folks charge $10, some $150.
In most cases, it is illegal for you to buy a firearm from another state and have it shipped directly to you. And no, unless you are "engaged in the business" of buying and selling guns, you cannot get your own Dealer's FFL. There IS a Collector's FFL, but it does not cover new firearms.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
On more than one occassion I have faxed a copy of my FFL to the seller. I also provide the buyer a copy of my signed FFL for him/her to mail to sender if they so desire.

I got burned recently on gunbroker, by trusting "auto-bid"(don't)
then, I hadn't noticed the extra tax fees on the gun in-state.
I still saved a few hundred retail, but if I'd been more careful,
would have saved @100$ more.
As luck would have it, I'd give up my right arm before that
gun, I'm pleased as punch with that unit, so it ended well.

- Worst dining experienceFoodie83Dined on 10/18/2014First off, when all our meals came- 3 of them had to be sent back. One steak was supposed to be medium-was rare. The salmon was supposed to be crusted with applewood smoked crust- was not crusted, the sweet potatoe fries were freeZing cold. My fiancé sent his meal back as well so that he could eat with the rest of us when ours came back. The 3 meals were corrected but then my fiances steak was cold. They took it back and proceeded to reheat it. It was then overdone. It took 3 attempts to re-do his meal. The manager rudely came over to ask what a rare steak is to him. At the end, the meal was not removed from the bill, And our bill had extra $10 surcharge per meal for "event" pricing which was wrong. We left very unhappy and upset.
- Just OKWoncoVIPDined on 8/22/2014I have been to the Baton Rouge before, but not this location. I tried the lobster risotto during their lobster season and it was pretty boring. It was loaded with corn that you would have though it was a corn risotto. I tried my husband's pork ribs and they were just OK too. I was looking forward to the warm brownie, but it was actually pretty gross. If I decide to try this restaurant again, I won't be going to this location.Special Features:

- As Good As I Remember ItCheapspeedVIPDined on 7/9/2014We came back to Montreal for a visit after 10 years out west and Baton Rouge was one of the things we wanted to do. The one at Decarie was closed and we decided to visit the de la Montagne one which is right next to Bell Centre and across from the Sheraton we were staying in. I started with the Lobster Bisque which was so-so. The ribs was what we came for and it didn't disappoint - tender and great flavourful sauce. I had that with the lobster summer special … fantastic!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad experience!OrionDined on 4/8/2014I used to go to Bâton Rouge Décarie, i was really surprised, There is a big difference between the Décarie one and the De La Montagne, i am so disapointed, the plate were almost empty, my steak wasn't Pittsburgh, the service was not friendly it was like you accept it or not, i really didn't like my expérience in the Bâton Rouge De La Montagne. I am not sure to go again Bâton Rouge!Special Features:
- An Excellent MealsheltieloverDined on 4/5/2014My fiance and I went here on game night. The food was spectacular- the best Cesar salad I've ever had.

- Never eat here before an eventOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/8/2013Never eat here before an event at the Bell centre. Sat at my table 20min and finally had to ask a bus boy to get my waitress. Don't order the dips unless you want to burn your mouth! Took 15 min to cool down.

- The ribs, which seem to beOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 3/5/2013The ribs, which seem to be a staple were just okay. The staff was initially alert but attentiveness fell off during the meal even though the restaurant was not busy. I would think twice before visiting and find another restaurant to spend your money. The price of most of the entrees seemed a bit much.
- Best restaurant next to bellOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/16/2013Best restaurant next to bell centre. Baton Rouge has good food, good list of wine and an amazing ambience!Special Features:
- Expensive fast-foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2013Meal came quickly and cold, suggesting that it had been lying under heating lamps. This restaurant is too expensive for what effectively amounts to fast food.

- Happy Birthday Jena & KarineOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/17/2012We waited approximately 45 minutes for our food to arrive, and then realized that we didn't have enough and wanted to order more. Not one single waiter came by to ask if everything was ok, the kids wanted drinks they never got asked and didn't get any, our ribs were burnt. I only had half of one they were not eatable and the service was horrible we all left hungry. When we got back to our room (because we're from out of town) we ordered room service. It was my friend and I daughter's birthday we were promised cake for them which we never got. When we left I ask for a taxi and been told to walk across the street go here and there and they should be some taxis??!!! I don't know the area and didn't have a clue what he was talking about; a lad

Very firendly, available at all time and very attentionate, HOWEVER the food was just ok. As an entree, we took fried calamaries, OMG it was so good, 1 entree for 2 was more than enough. I took the tuna ahi salad as a main course, there was so much dressing that i would have called it a dressing with some veggies in it! The tuna had no taste, i love sushi, so I'm used to raw fish, but it didnt even taste like fish/tuna. for desert, we took the chocolate mousse, the topping wasnt good at all, actually, we tossed it and ate the mousse only, which was excellent!! overall, a little pricey for the quality of the food, but the waiter made up for it!!Special Features:
- Habs gameday tradition.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/7/2012Great food and courteous service. Ribs are a must. A Canadiens' game day tradition as the Belle Centre is directly across the street. Book a reservation early if the Habs are playing because the line-up will be halfway up the block. Recommend a 3:30-4:30 reservation for a 7:00 game.Special Features:
- Good food, but...matthiasDined on 4/1/2012Yes, the food is good, especially the steaks, the ribs and also the tuna. Coleslaw tasted a bit industrial. It's a chain place, therefore don't expect more than the typical diner furniture, lighting was without ideas, the location is not ideal.Special Features:
- Good, reliable spot to enjoy ribsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/25/2012The kids have become huge Baton Rouge fans and we don't put up much of a fight. The food is good and the service is excellent. There was no big event at the Bell Center next door so about 50% of the tables were empty. My only complaint is about the noise levels. Even on a quiet night it was pretty loud in there.Special Features:
- Lack of Full Menu, but still good!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/18/2012I've been here a number of times for special occaision and I'm always a huge fan of their Louisiana Spinach Dip. I was disappointed that we got the shorten menu this time around because there was a boxing tournament happening at the Bell Centre, so me and a few of my friends didn't get our first choice of meal, but it was still good.Special Features:
- Bonne nourriture, belle ambianceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/21/2012Bonne nourriture, belle ambiance et banquettes confortables. Nous sommes satisfaits de cet endroit chaleureux.Special Features:
- I hadn't been there in aboutOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/8/2012I hadn't been there in about 10 years, all I remembered was that it was expensive. Well it still is. We can get just as good food elsewhere for cheaper. A virgin caesar for $6?? That's the price of 2 bottles of clamato. And half the glass is filled with ice. Not worth the $6. The food was luke warm for 4 people out of 5 at our table. The service was good. It was on a Sunday night so it wasn't too noisy.Special Features:
- Food was not as it was before...andOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/29/2011Food was not as it was before...and what was on the special menue, there was none left and was replaced by something cheaper...Special Features:

Wow, the slowest day regarding hockey talk in a long time.
Nothing out there today folks, nada, zip…
Signings and trade talk may filter in here and there, but I have a feeling the next three weeks or so may be slow.
We will be around and will report anything hockey related.
In the meantime, stay cool! 92 degrees here in the Detroit area at 8:30pm!

Brendon Ayanbadejo Calls for All Athletes to Support Marriage Equality
June 26, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Post by Brendon Ayanbadejo. Crossposted with permission from Policy Mic
Today, as we await the Supreme Court's rulings on the two historic marriage equality cases, we reflect on the breadth of support for LGBT equality; from athletes to musicans and artists to elected officials. Baltimore Ravens' straight ally Brendon Ayanbadejo has advocated on behalf of the LGBT community since 2009. This morning, he penned an op-ed on Policy Mic calling on the Supreme Court to rule in favor of LGBT equality.
"Since I first began my career in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons in 1999, LGBT Americans have struggled to make gains in state legislatures, schools, and boardrooms across America. Wall Street and CEOs have created internal departments focused on LGBT diversity and inclusion. President Obama ended "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and made history again in his inaugural address, when he called for equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans. But, federal laws are still mostly nonexistent for our LGBT brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers.
How can we be surprised that homophobia exists, when gay people can still be fired and evicted from their homes in 38 states? If Big Brother continues to practice homophobia, then athletes, politicians, and society at large will continue to discriminate without blinking an eye.
It's time for the Supreme Court to change that. Athletes and the rest of society look to government for direction and insight – so the Court must step up to the plate. With one single decision, SCOTUS can usher in a complete and total political and social shift in support of diversity and anti-discrimination for all.
Athletes can help to make this dream a reality."

text: Support for the Contras By Ronald Reagan History Born February 6, 1911, to Nelle and John Reagan in Tampico, Illinois. He attended high school in nearby Dixon and then worked his way through Eureka College There, he studied economics and sociology, played on the football team, and acted in school plays. A screen test in 1937 won him a contract in Hollywood. During the next two decades he appeared in 53 films. Reagan became governor of California, the most populous state, in 1967 Ronald Reagan won the Republican Presidential nomination in 1980 and chose as his running mate former Texas Congressman and United Nations Ambassador George Bush. He became the 40th president. Anastasio Somoza Debayle & Sandinista Soldiers Main Points To win popular support of the American People for the Contras because they were fighting against communist forces. "The Sandinista rule is a communist reign of terror. Many of those who fought along side the Sandinistas saw their revolution betrayed." They…have taken up arms against them and are now called the contras." To raise enough aid such as money and arms to resolve the crises and help prevent the possibility of refugees fleeing to America "Concerns about the prospect of hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing communist oppression to seek entry in our country are well- founded" Main Points Support Democracy abroad for Central America "Together with our friends, we can do in Central America to support democracy, human rights, and economic growth that we want no hostile communist colonies here in the Americas-South, Central, or North" Questions Did we really have any business supporting the contras by sending aid to them in Nicaragua. If the Sandinistas had not been backed by communist forces would the US have supported the Contras.

Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) held a press conference today at his State Street office, in Bowling Green, to congratulate the Federal Bureau of Investigation for working in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies in their recent apprehension of potential terrorists. Noting that these Iraqi nationals were arrested "in our own backyard," he stressed that collaboration between agencies is the key to effectively combating terrorism. "The citizens of Kentucky can be proud of the vigilance of their local and federal law enforcement," he said.
Sen. Paul said that it is the primary duty of our government to provide for the defense of the people. "Law enforcement stands on the front lines of our battle against those who would do us harm, and we honor their service and efforts to keep us safe," he said.
He went on to applaud the law enforcement community for their "exemplary work in apprehending these suspected terrorists," but indicated that this case also raises many questions about federal immigration policies and their role in protecting our citizens. The senator listed some of these questions, which he plans to present to the relevant federal agencies to address:
Sen. Paul insisted that the role of the federal government in the war on terror must include the ability to secure our borders and keep out those who wish to do us harm. "The men arrested last week had allegedly supported terrorism in Iraq. One of them was even in an Iraqi prison for having attempted to explode an improvised explosive device aimed at American soldiers," he remarked, adding, "These circumstances then pose the question: How did they gain legal entry into the United States in the first place in 2009?"
Last year, Sen. Paul suggested suspending the issuance of student visas to certain countries with large occurrences of terrorist activity. Today, he announced that, in fulfillment of this pledge, he will introduce legislation calling for a moratorium on the issuance of these visas if proper oversight in the screening process has not been addressed by DHS and State. He will also be calling for hearings in the senate on procedures and safeguards for both visas and political asylum.
Sen. Paul concluded by saying, "The law enforcement agencies involved in this case upheld their responsibility to protect the safety of the American people. It is our duty to ensure all agencies are being as effective in their protection of our country."

"Ooh hoo hoo, ya gun shoots medicine! It's intimidatin'!"It looks like a weapon, it's used like a weapon, but it's just not a weapon. It's actually a purely healing, defensive, or support implement that happens to be in exactly the shape of a sword, arrow, gun, whatever. Occasionally, this comes from the target, not the weapon. A certain type of enemy might absorb a certain type of attack into its own HP. This mostly happens to elementally-inclined enemies who absorb their own specialty. The Healing Shiv could also become a normal (or better!) weapon if said target is undead. Not to be confused with Recovery Attack.

Meltdown in C minor
An abstract audio/visual composition which began as an improvised VJ mix that was subsequently sped up/slowed down and reencoded over multiple passes using Adobe Premiere and After Effects. The program's pixel motion compensator was intentionally applied along with the time shifts, resulting in the image being radically stretched and smeared with each encoding pass. MIDI data generated from the soundtrack triggers the color and luma aberrations that puncture through the original video and unify it with the soundtrack.

Klubhaus St Pauli
The entire facade of the Klubhaus St Pauli is divided into three areas. The middle area is made of metal plates that will be controlled according to the content displayed in the LED screens. Another part will be designed as a low-res screen, i.e. with a large pixel pitch to obtain a contrast to the third area, which will have equipped with a high-definition display. ONLYGLASS, a German company specialized in transparent display solutions, is responsible for the high-resolution part, integrated directly into the glass panels of the lift. The resolution will be about 1100 Pixel/m², roughly 50.000 Pixel for the elevator facade.
The use of glass allows a high degree of transparency, both from the inside as well as from the outside. While the lift's passengers will have a beautiful view of the St. Pauli's center, from the outside the city will enjoy the visuals of a high-resolution screen, capable of showing videos and pictures. This dynamic façade will become an outstanding example for media architecture in Germany.
ONLYGLASS will present a prototype of the Media Facade at the Media Architecture Biennale 2014. We are looking forward to see their technology!

Call for projects: Visible city 2015
Challenging questions: How can we make social, environmental and inter-cultural processes visible and use the screens as black boards and visualization zones? What is the impact on the society, when invisible structures that underlie our daily life get visualized? What is the potential to create public awareness?
Call for proposals for the visible city 2015
Our today's modern cities are hybrid structures in which technology is invisibly interwoven in the perception layers of our everyday lives. With the curatorial theme of InVISIBLE and VISIBLE Cities we want to develop an awareness on the changes which are hardly visible to the eyes and are underlying our nowadays cities.
We call for artistic scenarios to visualise invisible, embedded 'smart' urban infrastructures and analyse their impact on the technological transformation of our society in a broad and public discourse.
Urbancult – Mapping urban art in Indonesia
The initial thriving force behind Urbancult was Agung Geger and his passion for taking and collecting pictures of murals in Yogyakarta. The project started quite informally in 2011, after he met with Andreas Siagian and got some advice from him on how to upload his pictures and make them more accessible for fans and other street-art artists. This gave origin to "A tribute to street-art murals of Jogja", i.e. a compilation of street art photographs on the personal Facebook account of Geger. Through his Facebook album Geger enterd in contact with artists, as well as with the community interested in the street art of Yogyakarta.
Later in 2011, Ucok suggested that the compilation should be published on their own web-site. This would make the compilation accessible to a wider audience, as the Facebook site was restricted to personal contacts. Geger joined forces with Ucok to publish all the street-art pictures piled up in their database. They began creating an online documentation and a map with the location of street-art works in Indonedia.
In January 2013 Budi Prakosa (Iyok) joined the team, bringing his experience as creative web programmer in DeadMediaFM, a community develop podcast and online radio streaming of Indonesia. With the help of Iyok the team extended the urbancult's interface to display the location of the murals stored in the database. Finally the Urbancult was officially launched in February 2013, with the support of Agus Tri Budiarto and Adhari Donora. Later urbancult.net joined Lifepatch – a citizen initiative for art, science and technology, and it remains until now a lifepatch driven project. You can visit the project at urbancult.net.

The much-anticipated Dollar General store officially opened its doors last Wednesday, though the official "Grand Opening" weekend will be held sometime in November. So far, however, despite a notably absent announcement of its opening, business at the new retail location, on lower Main Street next to the post office, has been steady.
Margaretville — Whether you are involved with a community organization, a merchant in the region, a tourism related facility, scout troop, or a skilled crafter, there is no better place to showcase your commodities than on a float at the second annual Holiday Parade as it returns to Margaretville's Main Street with an unparalled pageantry of holiday and community spirit. This fanfare of floats and marchers begins at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28.

The target on the backs of the unbeaten Margaretville Blue Devils soccer team got a little bigger last week, as the state rankings released last week by the New York State Sports Writers Association placed them in the No. 3 spot behind top-ranked Hamilton and No. 2 Fort Ann as of Oct. 3. The Blue Devils, who are 10-0-1 and 7-0 in the league, head into the last week of the regular season already having clinched the Upper Delaware League.

The flu shots, which are offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be completely covered by Medicare or Medicaid insurance. The cash price for flu shots is $31.

Conventional wisdom says that in sporting events no one goes home happy when two teams play to a tie. That was not the case in South Kortright yesterday when the first place Rams held on to salvage a 1-1 tie against Andes. SK had to breathe a sigh of relief when the final horn sounded after the second overtime period with the score still deadlocked at one. As the regular season winds down, the tie allows the Rams to maintain their one-game advantage over the surging Mountaineers.
