Everything was perfect really nice apartments good location friendly staff and clean
Excellent location (about 10 minutes walk) to the old town.
Toilet flash does not work properly - NEEDS FIXING. Two bed room apartment actually means one bedroom apartment with sitting room/kitchen containing double sofa. So if you are 'lucky' to sleep on this sofa you can listen to 'wonderfully' loud water boiler in the kitchen when another person is taking a shower.
The apartment was in a great location to walk and see the sites. It was much nicer than expected and Nita was super helpful. This was our first time in Latvia and we were totally charmed by both the apartment and the city!
No microwave
Modern decor, large living space, supermarket next door, clean and functional, public parking on site
Small kitchen, no microwave or coffee machine
Location is very good (food store nearby, old town 15 min walk through park), very bright and spacious appartment, bath towels provided, baby cot available. The building has elevator (the appartment is on the 5th floor).
Floor was not clean, no microwave, and toilet is not working properly (does not splash properly)
It's the best apartment I've ever traveled and stayed in Europe. There is Costa coffee(cafe) and Maxima(Super market) on the 1'st floor. It's very close to Old town. Kind and Clean. Best~
Awesome apartment. Set one block back from the main street so no street noise. Excellent location, just a nice short walk to the Old Town. Nita was walking up the street from one direction as were coming from the other. She took the time to track our flight and arrived at the apartment when we did. If I ever get the chance to go to Riga again, we WILL stay here. Thank you Nita...
Guys, you really need to change pictures! The apartment actually looks much better, it is very tastefully furbished and the space is awesome for 2+ people. Location is excellent, ... well enough said, read other comments :)
The only.. only one thing is that battery was doing weird sounds (water running?).
Nice place,good location.

The legendary duo want to legalize pot, and they inexplicably ended up on Fox & Friends, where Gretchen Carlson — who is, apparently, perfect — essentially accused them of pushing drugs on kids.

Eliot Glazer 4 years ago 19 responses
There's an initiative in the works that could end up on the November ballot that allows for marijuana to be sold to anyone, and anywhere that already sells alcohol. More weed stores means more jobs for Californians, more taxes to be collected, and more stimulation for the fledgling economy. On the other hand, forgetting to go to work because you ate a giant pot brownie for breakfast is kind of counter-productive. Read More ›

- Studio: Palisades Tartan
- Release Date: Jun 3, 2011
- Summary: Some Days are Better Than Others is Matt McCormick's poetic, character-driven debut feature-length film that asks why the good times slip by so fast while the difficult times seem so sticky. The film explores ideas of abundance, emptiness, human connection and abandonment while observing an interweaving web of awkward characters who maintain hope by inventing their own forms of communication and self-fulfillment. Katrina is a twenty-something reality TV enthusiast, video diarist and animal shelter worker whose world falls apart when she finds that those important to her are often not what she hopes they would be. Eli is a mid-30s slacker who could offer a thoroughly researched social critique explaining all the reasons why he shouldn't get a job; his experiences temping only reinforce his assertions. Camille is a socially handicapped thrift store attendant who spends her days sorting through the donated discards of other people's lives, and Otis is an 84-year-old eccentric filmmaker and inventor who strives to be recognized for his work.

Jun 1, 2011The film itself seems to be going nowhere slowly, but in this case, that's mostly a good thing. It allows observant writer-director Matt McCormick to take his time on the small moments and make us care more about his characters.
The delicacy of the film might frustrate some audiences. As if watching a listless young relative do nothing in particular with his or her life, you sometimes want to shake these folks by the shoulders and tell them to get in gear. But then you realize that life has many gears and that moving slowly and somewhat aimlessly is no sin.
As a meditation Some Days has its virtues - if you're in the market for a picture-postcard bummer - but it will leave your mellowed mind pretty quickly.
Jun 1, 2011Cast largely with untrained actors and musician friends, including Shins singer James Mercer and Sleater-Kinney alumna Carrie Brownstein, Some Days unspools in a depressive deadpan that might be more effective were the characters' plights not so clearly of their own making.

For the second year in a row, BBC AMERICA held their official Doctor Who meetup at San Diego Comic-Con, gathering a crowd of devoted fans under one roof for a bit of controlled mayhem. People lined up as early as seven hours ahead for the mid-afternoon event at Block 16, a roomy, multi-tiered bar not far from the convention center, which had a stage and full movie screen that allowed for performances and an astonishing video mash-up of 50 years of Doctor Who from DJ Eclectic Method. Hosts Kenyatta Cheese (editor of the Doctor Who Tumblr) and Tori Preston provided lively atmosphere and kept the pace moving.
This year, the event faced an invasion of real Doctor Who monsters, including an Ood and a stomping Cyberman, who posed for pictures with costumed fans. Fan art submitted through the Doctor Who Tumblr flashed on the big screen, and a class photo was snapped of the best cosplayers in the room, which represented an array of Doctors, companions, monsters (like the Weeping Angels), and even costume mash-ups with other franchises (we particularly appreciated the Princess Dalek). Select fans took part in a competition in which they acted out randomly chosen scenes from the modern Who, from the "Who's holding my hand?" scene in "Hide" to the Doctor's flirtation with Idris in "The Doctor's Wife." A couple of surprise judges popped by to observe the festivities – that would be Mark Gatiss and David Bradley, writer and star, respectively, of the Doctor Who behind-the-scenes drama An Adventure in Space and Time. Winners were crowned by audience applause, and the champions were a Kissogram Cop Amy and a TARDIS cosplayer who'd re-enacted Amy's "12 years and four psychiatrists!" reunion with the Doctor from "The Eleventh Hour."
The pair won a gift bag with goodies from Hot Topic and the WAND company and — in yet another surprise — an appearance on stage from Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, and Steven Moffat, who asked for an encore of their performance. Matt, Jenna, and Steven were met with Beatles-on-Ed Sullivan reception of screams and cheers. Matt offered his Thank You's to fans for their support during his tenure as Doctor, which prompted a collective "Don't Go!" from the crowd. BBC AMERICA cameras were rolling during the entire meet-up, so be on the lookout for clips of the event in the coming days.
The Doctor Who meetup wasn't the only event that happened on Saturday: Matt, Jenna, and Steven visited Nerd HQ for a panel moderated by Castle and Firefly star Nathan Fillion. (Fellow geek icons Zachary Levi and Wil Wheaton were seen roaming backstage.)
And the Orphan Black cast and creators continued to be feted like rock stars, dropping by the BBC AMERICA booth for a signing that produced a massive queue around the convention floor. (The cast had been ushered in by a cadre of blank-faced, lookalike models who wore hoodies emblazoned with the hashtag #CloneClub. This show knows how to do spectacle.) Check out photos below of the day at Comic-Con:

Kevin Wicks founded BBCAmerica.com's Anglophenia blog back in 2005 and has been translating British culture for an American audience ever since. While not British himself - he was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri - he once received inordinate hospitality in London for sharing the name of a dead but beloved EastEnders character. His Anglophilia stems from a high school love of Morrissey, whom he calls his "gateway drug" into British culture.

The number of people registered as unemployed in Germany fell by a seasonally-adjusted 14,000 in November.
These unemployed persons were distributed over nearly 70 million families or households. That's about 28% of all households in the country.
But the number of people registered as unemployed increased by 12,000, the Federal Labour Office said in a statement.
Data analysis of Twitter activity can actually determine how many people in a given geographic area are unemployed, researchers from Cornell University said.
Unemployment rates fell in 31 US states in September, including in many where incumbent governors and senators face tough re-election campaigns.
Core inflation, excluding volatile food prices, was at 3.0%, down from 3.1% in August. Unemployment rose to 3.6% from 3.5%.
Out of the total employed persons, about 56.24 lakh persons were employed in the urban area and 0.82 lakh in rural area.
Sterling inched up 0.1 per cent to trade at $1.5931 from $1.5898 before the data, with the market awaiting the BoE's latest Inflation Report.

Things I Don't UnderstandWritten by Walter E. Williams

Opposite the method of 'The Secret' book which, although insightful, is simply people talking about 'positive energy', this book instead gives you a hands-on experience to changing your approach on life. Ranging from issues within personal relationships, work-relations, and career choices and pretty much everything else in between. This book leaves it up to the reader on whether or not they want to work for the change they want, exercises are also provided for the reader as well. I respect people who become successful, in any subject area of life, and share their methods with those who have not yet found the way to it. Whether or not these 'Successes' should make profit for themselves is another issue. None the less, if you need some hands-on inspiration on a weak area in your life, this book is a good investment on starting to go in a even slightly new direction in your life.

This book reminds me of what my financial advisor has repeatedly told me --- if he were the financial genius that the stereo-typical persona of a financial advisor holds then he would not be a working stiff! This audiobook supposedly can give you the ¿all knowing power¿ to accomplish anything. OK, will I be the next millionaire by listening to it? I don¿t believe so. If Mr. Leonard is the coach he claims to be and swears people can accomplish whatever they want by doing the 28 laws, then why is it necessary for him to write a book? His reason for writing it is because he wants to be a good person and help others? I think not! This is just one more of those ¿get rich¿ (or get whatever it is you want) quick theme books that have you spend money to buy them and then the results are less than promised. This is not my cup of tea. By all means, use your mind for great things but you don¿t need a book to tell you how to do that.

New mailboxes deliver confusion on the Key
Date: May 29, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Forty-one Longboat Key residents who live on Gulf of Mexico Drive were confused to discover new mailboxes had been placed near their existing ones Friday, May 29.
Darren Alfonso, public information officer for the Florida Department of Transportation's Gulf of Mexico Drive repaving project, was just as confused when he started receiving phone calls from residents who had no idea why they now had two mailboxes.
"I was under the impression that these residents were made aware of what's going on," Alfonso said. "The problem was the mailboxes were placed before they received certified letters that explained what was happening."
In the letters, the Florida Department of Transportation explained that during the repaving project 41 mailboxes along Gulf of Mexico Drive were deemed either unsafe or non-compliant with regard to setback requirements on a state highway.
For a speed limit of 45 miles per hour, Alfonso said mailboxes must be placed 14 feet, 2 inches from the edge of the travel lane (the edge of the bicycle-path line).
"Anything within that area, known as the clear zone, is not allowed unless it meets certain breakaway standards," Alfonso said.
Alfonso said affected property owners will be receiving certified letters soon that state they have 21 days to either replace their old mailboxes with the new ones with which they were supplied, or place their old mailboxes in the spaces where the new ones were put — if they meet crash-impact requirements.
State officials will return Friday, June 19 to pick up the unused mailboxes.
Former Longboat Key Mayor Jeremy Whatmough was one of many affected homeowners.
"I pulled in my driveway and saw this ugly mailbox right next to my existing one," said Whatmough, who discovered the postmaster, the town and even his mail carrier had no idea why the extra mailboxes had been added. "This is a complete mess."
Alfonso said the confusion would not happen in the future.
"There was a lack of communication that will be avoided next year when the Sarasota County portion of Gulf of Mexico Drive is paved next summer," Alfonso said.
Alfonso, who is meeting with concerned residents about their mailboxes on an individual basis, can be reached at 813-767-9532.
Road Runner Highway Signs Inc. Manager Ben DeLeGarza told The Longboat Observer that his crew received complaints up and down the Key Friday, May 29, as they dug new holes and placed new, standard mailboxes near existing ones.

Hanna's Daughters: A Novel of Three Generationsby Marianne Fredriksson
Her mind was as clear as a winter's day, a day as quiet and shadowless as if snow had just fallen. Harsh sounds penetrated, the clatter of dropped enamel bowls and cries. It frightened her. Like the weeping from the next bed slicing into the whiteness.
There were many who cried where she was.
She had lost her memory four years ago, then only a few months later her words had disappeared. She could see and hear, but could name neither objects nor people, so they lost all meaning.
That was when she came to this white country where time was nonexistent. She didn't know where her bed was or how old she was, but she had found a new way of being and appealed for compassion with humble smiles. Like a child. And like a child, she was wide open to emotions, everything vibrating between people without words.
She was aware she was going to die. That was knowledge, not an idea. Her family were those who kept her going.
Her husband came every day. He also was wordless but for different reasons: He was over ninety, so he, too, was near the borderline, but he had no wish either to die or to know about it. Just as he had always controlled his life and hers, he put up a fierce struggle against the inevitable. He massaged her back, bent and stretched her knees, and read aloud to her from the daily paper. She had no means of opposing him. They had had a long and complicated relationship.
Most difficult of all was when their daughter, who lived in another town, came to visit. The old woman knew nothing of time or distance, and was always uneasy before she came, as if the moment she woke at dawn, she had already sensed the car making its way through the country, at the wheel the woman with all her unreasonable hopes.
Anna realized she was being as demanding as a child. That was no help, and as soon as she gave in, her thoughts slid away: just for once, perhaps, an answer to one of the questions I never had time to ask. After almost five hours of driving, as she turned into the nursing home parking lot, she had accepted that her mother would not recognize her this time, either. Yet she would ask the questions.
I do it for my own sake, she thought. It makes no difference what I talk about to her.
She was wrong. Johanna did not understand the words, but she was aware of her daughter's torment and her own powerlessness. She did not remember it was her task to console the child who had always asked unreasonable questions. Still, the demand remained as well as the guilt over her inadequacy.
Her desire was to escape into silence, to close her eyes, but she couldn't, her heart thumping, the darkness behind her eyelids scarlet and painful. She started crying. Embarrassed, Anna tried to console her, there, there, wiping the old woman's cheeks.
When she was unable to halt Johanna's despair, Anna became frightened and rang for help. As usual, there was a delay, then the fair girl was standing in the doorway, a girl with young eyes but no depth in them. Anna saw contempt in those blue eyes, and for a moment Anna could see what the girl saw: an older woman, anxious and clumsy, by the side of the really old one. "There, there," she said, too, but her voice was hard, as hard as the hand that ran over the old woman's head. And yet she succeeded. Johanna fell asleep so suddenly, it seemed unreal.
"We mustn't upset the patients," said the girl. "You must sit there quietly for a while. We'll come and change her and remake the bed in about ten minutes."
Anna slipped out to the terrace like a shamefaced dog, found her cigarettes, and drew the smoke deep down into her lungs. It calmed her and she could think. At first angry thoughts: damned bitch, hard as nails. Pretty, of course, and horribly young. Had Mother obeyed her out of fear? Was there a discipline here that the helpless old people sensed and gave in to? Then came the self-reproach. The girl was only doing her job, everything she, Anna, ought to be doing, according to the laws of nature. But she couldn't, couldn't bring herself to, even if the time and place had existed.
Last of all came the astonishing realization that Mother had somehow been touched by the questions she'd asked.
She stubbed out her cigarette in the rusty tray at the far end of the table. God, how tired she was. Mother, she thought, dear wonderful Mother, why can't you show pity and die?
Frightened, she glanced out over the nursing home grounds where the Norway maples were in flower and smelling of honey. She drew in the scent with deep breaths, as if seeking consolation in the spring, but her senses were dulled. I'm as if dead, too, she thought as she turned on her heel and walked determinedly to the ward sister's door. She knocked and just had time to think, please let it be Märta.
It was Sister Märta, the only one she knew here. They greeted each other like old friends, then the daughter sat in the visitor's chair and was just about to start asking when she was overwhelmed by emotion.
"I don't want to start crying," she said, then did.
"It's not easy," said the sister, pushing the box of tissues across.
"I want to know how much she understands," said the daughter, adding her hope of being recognized and the questions she'd asked her mother, who didn't understand, yet did.
Sister Märta listened with no surprise.
"I think the old understand in a way we find difficult to grasp. Like newborn infants. You've had two babies yourself, so you know they take everything in, anxieties and joys. Well, you must remember?"
No, she didn't remember. She remembered nothing but her own overwhelming feeling of tenderness and inadequacy, though she knew what the nurse was talking about. She had learned a great deal from her grandchildren.
Then Sister Märta talked about the old woman's general condition in consoling terms. They had gotten rid of her bedsores, so she was in no physical pain.
"But she's rather uneasy at night," she said. "She seems to have nightmares. She wakes up screaming."
"She dreams?"
"But of course she dreams, everyone does. The pity is we can never find out what they're dreaming, our patients."
Anna thought about the cat they'd had at home, a lovely creature leaping up out of its sleep, hissing, its claws extended. Then she was ashamed of the thought. But Sister Märta didn't notice her embarrassment.
"Considering Johanna's poor condition, we prefer not to give her tranquilizers. I also think perhaps she needs her dreams."
Sister Märta pretended to ignore the surprise in the other woman's voice.
"We're thinking of giving her a room of her own," she went on. "As things are, she's disturbing the others in the ward."
"A room of her own? Is that possible?"
"We're waiting out Emil in number seven," said the nurse, lowering her eyes.
Not until the daughter was backing the car out of the parking lot did she take in what had been said about Emil, the old priest whose hymns she'd heard over the years. She hadn't thought about it today, that there'd been no sound from his room. For years, she'd heard him singing about life in the valley of the shadow of death, and the Lord waiting with his terrible judgments.
Johanna's secret world followed the clock. It opened at three in the morning and closed again at dawn.
Her world contained a wealth of images, filled with colors, scents, and voices. Other sounds, too. The roar of the falls, the wind singing in the tops of the maples, and the forest rejoicing with birdsong.
On this night the pictures she sees tremble with excitement. It is summer and early morning, with slanting rays of the sun and long shadows.
"You must be mad,"shouts the voice she knows best, her father's. He's red in the face and frightening in his agitation. She's afraid and flings her arms around his leg. He lifts her up, runs his hand over her head.
"Don't you think, girl?" he says.
But her eldest brother is standing in the middle of the room, handsome, with shiny buttons and high boots, and he's shouting, too.
"To the cave, all of you, and today, too. They might already be here tomorrow."
Then another voice, resourceful.
"Listen now, lad. Would Axel and Ole come here from Moss and would Astrid's lad come here from Fredrikshald to shoot us?"
"Yes, Mother."
"I think you've gone mad," says the voice, but now it's uncertain. And her father looks at the soldier, eye meets eye, and the old man can't mistake the gravity in the young man's eyes.
"Then we'll do as you say."
Then the pictures change, start moving. Feet stomp, burdens are lifted. She sees the earth cellar and store emptied. The great barrel of salt pork is carried out, the herring barrel, the potato bin, the cloudberry jar, the butter in its wooden tub, the hard round slabs of crispbread, all out on the ground, then carried down toward the boat. Sacks filled with blankets and clothes, all the wool in the cottage going the same way, down the slope toward the lake. She sees the brothers rowing. It's heavy going toward the promontory, easier back. "The oil lamps!" It's her mother calling out on her way indoors.
But the soldier stops her, calling, too, "No, Mother, we'll have to do without light."
The child is wide-eyed and anxious. But then a brimstone butterfly lands on her hand.
The picture changes again; the daylight is miserly, and she's perched on her father's back. As so often, she's being carried up the slopes to the mountain lakes, so secretive and introverted they are, quite different from the great lake with its light and blue glitter. But just above the mill, the largest of the dark lakes breaks the stillness and looks as if it would hurtle down the falls with all its strength were the dam not there.
Father checks the floodgate as always in the evenings.
"Norwegian water," he says, with weight in his voice. "Remember that, Johanna, that the water that gives us bread comes from Norway. Water," he says, "is much wiser than people, it doesn't give a damn about borders."
He's enraged. But she's not afraid as long as she's on his back.
Dusk is falling. Laboriously, heavily, he makes his way down the slopes, goes to the mill, feels the locks. The girl hears him muttering wicked curses before he goes on along the path down toward the boat. It's quiet in the cave. Her brothers have fallen asleep, but her mother is moving uneasily on her hard bed.
The girl is allowed to sleep curled inside her father's arm, as close as she can get. It's cold.
Later, new pictures. She's bigger, she can see that from her feet running toward the mouth of the cave, in clogs, for it's slippery on the slopes now.
"Father!" she calls. "Father!"
But he doesn't reply. It's autumn and it'll soon be dark. Then she sees the light in the cave and grows anxious. Someone's shouting in the cave, and Rudolf is there, the blacksmith she's afraid of. She sees them staggering about, he and Father.
"Get on home, brat!" he yells, and she runs, crying, running and falling, hurting herself, but the pain from her grazed knees is nothing to the hurt in her breast.
"Father!" she screams. "Father!"
Then the night sister is there, worried.
"There, there, Johanna. It was only a dream, sleep now, go to sleep."
She obeys, as she usually does, and is allowed to sleep for an hour or two before the voices of the day shift explode in her body and race like ice through her veins. She's shaking with cold but no one sees it. The windows are flung open, they change her, and she's no longer cold or feels any shame.
She's back in the white emptiness.

June 27, 2014 – July 10, 2014
It's unlucky number 13! That's right, this year is the 13th New York Asian Film Festival and that means that you're going to walk under a ladder, trip over a black cat, break a mirror, and wind up getting squashed by a falling piano the second you step outside. The only way to stay safe is to double down and make sure you spend your summer inside a movie theater watching eyeball-exploding Asian films. Read more »

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals coach says Andre Ellington is 'a game-time decision' for Philadelphia
TEMPE, Ariz. -- It came as a bit of a shock when Andre Ellington's name appeared on Thursday's injury report for the Arizona Cardinals.
Coach Bruce Arians said the rookie "tweaked" his left knee near the end of practice Thursday and is a "game-time decision" after missing practice Friday.
Arians said Ellington's injury isn't serious, but "we want to be careful with him."
Ellington said he hurt the knee when he turned to make a cut toward the end of Thursday's practice, but noted he feels better Friday than he did the day before.
"I'm good to go," he said.
Granted, that kind of goes against what Arians said, but Ellington is banking on the next couple of days giving him enough time to heal.
"That's a lot of rest, two days," he said. "I'm going to continue to rehab and get to Sunday and kind of get out there and run around a little bit."
A sixth-round pick out of Clemson last April, Ellington has emerged as one of the team's most dynamic playmakers. A running back, he has gained 441 yards on just 73 carries and caught 28 passes for 247 yards. He's scored three total touchdowns.
Should Ellington miss the game, Rashard Mendenhall and Stepfan Taylor would figure to pick up the slack, with Alfonso Smith also being in the mix for some additional work.
"Just one guy out," Arians said of the blow that would be not having Ellington. "There's still a bunch of guys who are capable of taking his place, and we'll make our adjustments that we need to make."
The coach, though, admitted there are about five or six plays that would have to be removed from the game plan if Ellington is unable to go because no one else on the team can do them.
"Other than that, just keep on rolling."

Becks closer to owning MLS franchise?
David Beckham says he is looking forward to becoming the owner of a new MLS franchise in Miami.
ACTION HEROLook back at the best images from Beck's years off and on the pitch.
Beckham says "nothing has been confirmed yet, but it's something I am very excited about."
He adds that "Miami is something that really excites me because there is a great energy down there. They are ready for a football team in that part of the world."
Beckham was speaking at a promotional event at The Venetian casino in Macau. He is expected to attend Saturday's WBO welterweight title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios at The Venetian.
NBA superstar LeBron James says he has spoken to Beckham about potentially investing in his bid to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to Miami. James, who has led the Miami Heat to back-to-back NBA Championships, is a minority owner in Liverpool and said he had developed an interest in the game.
"There's some interest on both sides," James said in comments reported by FOX Sports Florida on Monday.
"David has become a good friend of mine over the last few years. I think it would be great for this city to have a football club, for sure. There's interest on both sides but it's preliminary talks."
Beckham spent five and a half years with the Los Angeles Galaxy, and his contract gave him the option of buying an MLS franchise at a discounted price after retirement.
The former England captain confirmed last month that Miami was his preferred destination. The city was home to the Miami Fusion from 1998 to 2001 and while that team folded, the belief is that the time is now right for the sport to return.

Originally written on Sports Injury Alert | Last updated 11/13/14
Atlanta Hawks' guard Lou Williams participated in contact drills on Tuesday for the first time since beginning rehab on his torn ACL and is getting closer to returning. As reported by Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Hawks will evaluate Williams to see how he responded to the drills. The next step in the recovery process will be full five-on-five drills. Williams has been playing three-on-three and four-on-four. Coach Mike Budenholzer feels Williams is getting better and approaching the point of return. "He's getting closer." Although Budenholzer feels confident in Williams' progress, he is still about a month away from returning to game action. Williams injured his right knee on January 18 against the Nets, so a return in the next month would put Williams at the 11 month mark following the injury. The return of Williams will be welcome, as the team is thin in the back court. Kyle Korver and John Jenkins are the only other shooting guards on the roster. K...

Faculty scientists are mapping the genes of the endangered undulate ray, a protected species which has declined sharply in recent times.
The team is investigating the diversity of the rays' DNA to infer how inbred individuals are. Inbreeding causes frequent still-births and shortens the lifespans of offspring.
Their data will be used to check the heritage of around 120 undulate rays in European aquariums, helping to pair up breeding adults and produce healthy offspring.

Theory suggests that the effects of disadvantaged neighborhoods on child educational outcomes may depend on a family's economic resources as well as the timing of neighborhood exposures during the course of child development. However, most previous research assumes that disadvantaged neighborhoods have the same effects on all children regardless of their family resources, and few prior studies specifically analyze the timing of exposure to different neighborhood conditions across the early life course. This study extends research on neighborhood effects by investigating how timing of exposure to disadvantaged neighborhoods during childhood and adolescence affects high school graduation and whether these effects vary across families with different economic resources. Results based on novel counterfactual methods for time-varying treatments and time-varying effect moderators indicate that exposure to disadvantaged neighborhoods, particularly during adolescence, has a strong negative effect on high school graduation, and that this deleterious effect is much more severe for children from poor families. The severe impact of spatially concentrated disadvantage on children from poor families suggests that ecological socialization models of neighborhood effects must account for the interactions between nested social contexts like the family environment and local neighborhood, as well as for the dynamic coevolution of these contexts over time.

Yogurtland in Irvine
- s
- saigon sista Jun 25, 2007 10:58 PM
So I have tried Pinkberry in LA, Frucci in Pomona and now Yogurtland in Irvine. Waited 20 minutes in line tonight at Yogurtland in Irvine and ended up with about a pound of tart creamy goodness. The self service is a great idea however, you can really go overboard with the toppings. Eating a pound of yogurt is insane but people were guzzling the stuff like there was no tomorrow. There is something wonderful about the tanginess of the yogurt and the sweetness of the fruit. The line could go much faster but two kids at the register were just overwhelmed with too many people. So if you have lots of time and money, stop by this new addition to the yogurt craze.
was there last weekend, and it was WORTH the $13 for two of us.....yes, a bargain it is until you hit the register scales! an occassional indulgence, for sure.
I was there father's day weekend and the line was insane. I counted a total of 104 people waiting in line (89 inside & 15 outside) in front of us. Despite the number of people, we were in and out in 35 minutes. So don't get too discouraged if you see a long line. I've tried plain tart, espresso, green tea, blueberry tart, strawberry, mango, taro, pistachio, chocolate, peanut butter, oreo, cheesecake. I love that most of the flavors are subtle and not too sweet.
Okay so I went back again and had time to sample more flavors. This time i got "tart" flavors and non-tart flavors. I was surprised that I didn't like the tart flavors. I like Pinkberry. Then again, Pinkberry isn't so much yogurty as it is Yoglooy (this kind of sweet Korean yogurt drink in the frozen section of the supermarket) This stuff was pretty tart and yogurty.
Yogurtland's non-tart flavors didn't taste any different to me than Golden Spoon's wares. For instance, their chocolate mint tasted a lot like GP's chocolate mint, though honestly I'm not a connoisseur so maybe someone else could tell the diff. If Golden Spoon updated its flavors and started advertising more, I bet they'd get mad crowds like this place.
One thing I do like is the dduk (mochi ball) topping option at these places. I love chewing on them when they're cold and I think it's kind of cool that the American public is embracing them too. You can buy these little dduk thingies at any Korean grocery store for $1.99 a box, usually near the canned sweetened red beans.
--oh yeah tart flavors I've had so far: plain and blueberry. both too tart for me, sorry.
--non tart flavors I had: green tea (tasted like sweetened air), new york cheesecake (where's the cheesecake flavor?), taro (mild but semi tasteless), chocolate mint which I always like
--toppings I've tried: blueberries and dduk
re: choctastic
Yow! I've been to that area recently, and saw people lining up around the block for Yogurtland. I was wondering what the big deal was. I have yet to try it.
I do love mochi though, and green tea yogurt sounds great too (it reminds me of the green tea yogurt I ate at TCBY literally EVERY day while I was in China).
Golden Spoon's yogurt is lush (anyone tried the cake batter flavor - yum!)
I still can't believe the lines at yogurtland! I went there for the third time last wk on a thurs. at 10.3opm and there was a 25 min wait. I was a group of friends and we were just chatting as we were waiting so it didnt' seem that long. Most of them that tried it for the first time really did enjoy it especially the self serve toppings part. I usually just go for the tart flavored ones now after trying a couple of the non tart flavors such as green tea, taro, strawberry cheesecake. The non flavors to me tastes too artificial and just very plasticky. Tart to me tastes the most natural and fulfilling. The green tea flavor at Yogurtland tastes like fragranced soap.
I did finally try Pinkberry last Sat on Vermont in HOllywood and did think that their yogurt is a lot more creamier than Yogurtland's. If I did have a choice between either Yogurtland or Pinkberry or Kiwiberry I think I would choose either PB or KB because I their yogurt tends to be more tart and creamier. Yogurtland's yogurt tends to me more icey and watered down. But when I did got to Kiwiberry in Rowland hts 2 wks ago I felt so ripped offf. The girl at the counter gave me the stingiest swirl of yogurt I've ever had in my life. The swirl didn't even touch the perimeter of the cup! it was the weakest and shortes swirl ever.. I chose just to go with a kiwi and strawberrry topp;ing and it amounted to 4 bucks! At yogurtland I would have gotten twice the amount of yogurt! So for value I'd sayYogurtland.
I just tried Yogurtland this last week. While the self-serve concept is novel, it just doesn't seem to be working for them so well. Since there are so many options (i.e. flavors and toppings), it really slows up the line and makes things just way too messy and annoying. Also, judging by the way the customers were toying with the machines, and sampling the toppings, it just didn't seem too sanitary to me. But onto the actual yogurt... Plainly put, I was really unimpressed with their product. I sampled just about every flavor, and the only ones that tasted "pure" (i.e. not processed, airy, and overly sweet) were the peanut butter and cookies & cream. Their "original tart" pales in comparison to both Red Mango's (the best, IMO) and Pinkberry's.
The majority of Yogurtland's clientele seems to be teenagers, and they clearly love the place. I probably would have too at that age: it's like these teens have graduated from making "suicide sodas" at the self-serve soda fountain to crafting their own yogurt creations. Anyway, I think Yogurtland has become a bit of a hangout for Irvine high schoolers. Business is definitely booming, so obviously they've got something right.
So, while I'm happy to have this "fro-yo" option less than a mile away from my boyfriend's house, I am a bit disappointed with it. Honestly, I still would rather go to Golden Spoon on Walnut and Culver. Hopefully they'll come up with a delicious "original tart" flavor with fresh fruit toppings soon.

America's Cup on 17th in Costa Mesa has the same self-serve set-up (no mochi balls, though!), about 6 or 8 rdifferent flavors, including that low carb no sugar stuff, 1 tart flavor - I think it's usually vanilla, but all the better to be creative with your toppings... and sounds like it's half the price with no line. Nice proprieters, too.

Pinkberry is coming to The District in Tustin soon
re: aprmayjun
Do you know if Pinkberry's open yet? I went by the District a few weeks ago but it still wasn't open and I didn't even see the sign for it anymore.
re: FoodieKat
I haven't been to the District as of late so I don't know if it's open or not yet.
re: ali76girl
That's a good Golden Spoon, the one on Culver. It's become a weekly ritual to do the 'Spoon after visiting Trader Joe's. :-)
re: ali76girl
About a week ago GoldenSpoon got a new flavor called Plain Tart. It tastes like the Tart at Yogurtland or Pink Berry but a bit creamery better texture. they are also no offering fresh fruit strawberries & mangoes. This is sitll the ultimate low call healthy cheap treat!
re: sassyjap
Hmmm, might need to investigate, as I haven't yet been to Golden Spoon this week. ;-) There's a location in Orchard Hills (also Irvine/Tustin Ranch area) I tend to go to more regularly now, since it's closer.
re: sassyjap
Tried the Plain Tart at Golden Spoon last week. They only have it so far at the location in Orange (the one near the Village on Tustin). It was nice, had just the right blend of sweetness and tartness. Now I just need to try Pinkberry to compare.
FYI, Tapioca Express (across the street from Walnut in the shopping center where the 99 Ranch is located) also is now carrying FroYo, albeit just the "plain" flavor, which IMO is pretty good -nice and tart and refreshing - with a decent variety of topping options - but no mochi balls (unfortunately).
Also, I noticed the other day that in the same (99 Ranch) shopping center, a Kiwiberry is getting ready to open (no idea on the timing). I'll be interested in trying this place, as well.
I complain to my wife about waiting in line at the Irvine Yogurtland, and all the teenagers taking cuts near the front of the line, but it's ultimately worth it, I think. My favorite flavors are green tea, vanilla, berry tart, mango and peach. No need for toppings. I carefully apply each flavor on my serving bowl and arrive at the register with a veritable rainbow of yogurt deliciousness. I think the lines will disappear once school starts. Interestingly, the two times I went to the Yogurtland in Fullerton there were no lines at all.
re: OCKevin
I really like the taro root flavor. And of course, the plain (nice and tangy).
I hit Yogurtland for the first time last night and was really impressed. I paid around $4.50 for a nicely sized cup, which is a bit less than what I'd end up paying at Pinkberry, and a lot more rewarding. I don't think too much of the quality of the yogurt, but the freedom to create a symphony of flavor is nothing minor! I was surprised at how haphazardly my friends threw together random things in splotches as I was crafting a multilayered strawberry tart vanilla cheesecake red berry graham cracker masterpiece of a dessert. I'd recommend that anyone who goes to Yogurtland take into consideration soft-serve dispensing technique and flavor-matching skills to maximize its natural strengths. Then again, I'm pretty obsessive about dessert presentation :D
re: avena
Yogurtland does charge by the ounce. It's been awhile since I've been there so I don't know exactly how much they charge- I think it's around 35 cents an ounce but I'm not certain. I wanted to like Golden Spoon since it was so conveniently located to UCI, but I found that their yogurt had an unpleasant aftertaste.
re: crystaw
yogurtland is 30 cents per ounce. theyre opening a yogurtland next to uci too as well as many other places. its spreading like crazyy
