"Amazing Stay!"
This 2 bedroom unit is very clean and well maintained. And it is only minutes away from the beach. I would definitely recommend this rental to my friends.
The only reason that I gave this one 4 star is that I found some pet hair (only a few) on the bed, otherwise this property is a really perfect one.

"affordable luxury"
This is a great 2 bedroom rental close to the freeway and the beach. For the amount of space this place has, it is very affordable. It has very nice furniture, appliances and amenities (wifi, on-site laundry and a pool table). Also, the owner is very nice and responsive to all questions and concerns. When my family and I are back in the area, this will be the first place we will look to book for our lodging.

"Great Beach Rental"
I booked the beach rental in October of 2014. I was a little skeptical never having used this kind of service before but the condo was even nicer than it looked in the pictures. It was clean, completely remodeled, spacious and had everything we needed including beach accessories. It has an ideal location right near the Dana Point Warf. We went deep sea fishing one day and jet skiing another. I would highly recommend this rental to everyone. Thanks Ross my family and I really enjoyed our stay.

"Great Vacation Spot!"
My husband and I stayed for 4 days with our 4 children (2, 10, 12, 14) and had a blast. There was plenty of room for all of us. It was nicely decorated and had all the supplies we needed to cook and BBQ. The weather was great during our whole stay. We loved having the pool table, and played all the time, teaching the kids. We preferred driving to the Ritz Carlton beach about 5 min. away because the waves were nicer for playing in than the beach directly by the house.
Ross (the owner) was very attentive and considerate, and checked in on us to make sure everything was okay.
We've stayed in multiple vacation rentals and this has been the best so far.

"Quiet place to get away and close to Disneyland, it's a win-win!"
My husband and I needed a get away vacation but our kids have been wanting to go to Disneyland for several years. This well appointed and comfortable vacation home was a perfect fit for us. The house is clean and inviting and a short drive to Disneyland and other SoCal attractions. Next time we'll make time to go see the Mission at San Juan Capistrano. We found a great pizza place and sandwich shop in Dana Point and Jack's is a huge surf shop. Because of the convenient location we were able to spend some relaxing time on the beach and take the kids to Disneyland; this place made our vacation a win-win!

"Awesome condo in a great area!!"
We have had a Disneyland annual pass for the past year and decided this time to get out of the hussle and bustle of Disneyland and stay close to the beach. With a family of 5 it's hard to find hotel rooms to accommodate us. This was an excellent choice!! The condo was clean, Ross is extremely friendly, and it is literally 5 minute walk from the beach. I couldn't believe how friendly everyone was. Every time I walked outside people were saying hi. The condo is spacious, the beds were comfortable and it was nice to have some space from the kids when we were in it. If only took 20-25 minutes to get to Disneyland. Of course we never left during rush hour. The drive wasn't bad at all. The kids didn't complain once haha. You can't beat the price of this condo either!! I was extremely pleased with our stay and would stay there again anytime!

"This was an ***Awesome*** experience!!"
The owner was very response and easy to deal with, the home was clean and very orginized and everything was setup to make for easy use. We loved the home and enjoyed the pool table. The location for us was great as it was in the middle of all the activities we took in ex: Disneyland, Universal, Sea world and shopping. Very close to the ocean beach which we loved, the beach was amazing. We loved the pool table and location of home and the only one thing that could be improved is the cleaners could take a little more time to make sure house is cleaner then it was. Over all we would stay again and again!! Thank you very much..

"Great place to stay!"
Thanks for sharing your vacation house. My family is used to renting houses when we go on vacation. We've been to many places but yours was one of the neatest & most complete with kitchen supplies. Our stay was short so we didn't cook but it was nice to see they were available if we needed them. It wasn't warm enough to enjoy the beach but we'll be back next summer! Also thanks for the great tasting wine!!!

"August is... hot, hot, hot!"
Our party included 4 adults & 2 kids x 1 week of summer beach fun.
The rental unit was just as described/pictured: clean, comfy, nice couches that reclined, freshly painted interior and nice bedroom/living room/kitchen furniture & fixtures, easy to use flat screen, adequately stocked kitchen, washer/drier, and easy access coded entry so everyone could get in and out w/out a key! The additional access to the unit through the garage/pool room was fantastic. We came and went daily w/out having to drag our beach gear through the house and had a place to stow away our car top carrier. Overall this was a great, relatively inexpensive rental for our family.
The weather was much warmer in august than we had anticipated! Ross was very accommodating and provided a tower fan for the living room, which helped tremendously.
I would have given the rental 5 starts but the pool table was a bit disappointing for the adults b/c the bumpers were dead... but the tweeners had fun playing pool regardless. The bathroom tub/shower also needs a little TLC, but it was completely functional (the rental will surely be more expensive when it's updated).
As for the area:
Shopping was very convenient; Big 5, Costco, Ralph's, the harbor to name just a few places.
The location was safe, tucked in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to multiple freeways.
As for the beaches:
We found the San Clemente too crowded and the beaches w/in walking distance were too rocky; but Crystal Cove was just right! ...so, we found ourselves traveling by PCH daily to Crystal Cove. It's not a bad drive and we love Laguna, which is along the drive... the food, the art, the shopping! :)
My advise: take into consideration how much time you plan to spend at the unit, the month/temperature and your budget. This worked out well for us b/c we were gone during the hottest part of the day... but I definitely think air conditioning is not overrated.

Never Summer Evo for less than $500?
Hey I'm looking to get my brother a new board as a gift and I've been shopping around for the evo but can't really find it for less than 500 or 450. Anyone here know if they'll go on sale soon or where I can get a lightly used one that's still in good shape? Any of you want to sell yours? haha I appreciate the help, Thanks.
I have a barely used Proto HD ...
Salty Peaks Snowboard and Skate Shop - Salt Lake City, Utah has the '13 evo for $399. 152, 154, & 157 sizes available. Boom.
89 Attachment(s)
Nothing wrong with it, but something wrong with me. Around the same time buying it, I grabbed a K2 WWW because, well it was $140 new. Now, these two are not the same. The Proto is much more capable all-mtn than the WWW. I do feel it is a more aggressive park board that can handle the rest of the mountain. But after it softens up (which it hasn't yet), I'll have two soft park boards, one that is mid-flex, and one that is slightly stiffer than the noodle.
The Proto was stable, but did get pushed around at the end of a pow day so I want something more aggressive. Maybe even camber. We'll see. It's a fun board, high quality, strong base as always. If I didn't have the WWW, I'd keep it 100%. I can see it as being perfect when it softens up as my park board for local mountains. If I had more money I'd sell the WWW and keep it :D
Keep it. By the end of next season that K2 will be worth exactly diddley squat and if you don't bin it you'll at least have a rock board for another cali drought season...meanwhile that proto will be breaking in nicely giving you another 5 years at least. No brainer dude...:D
I mean, just look at the discounts on K2 and Ride boards every year. Anyone who is buys that stuff new, full retail is, uhm...a little misinformed...

I have a program written in Fortran by someone else which consequently reads a few things from the standard input and then does some calculations and outputs the result. What I want to do is to run it many times with different input data from another program, written in C by me. To do this I use
FILE *pipe = popen(".\\program.exe", "wt");
if (!pipe) {
fprintf(pipe, "%d\n", thing1);
fprintf(pipe, "%d\n", thing2);
The problem is that it doesn't work this way. It works perfectly with "program.exe < input.txt" but not this way. It reads the first thing and then outputs this stupid error: "IO-09 system file error - unknown error". Of course I have no idea what this means as I've never programmed Fortran.
What am I doing wrong?
Unfortunately I have no source code of that program

Kitchen Nightmares: Chef Gordon Ramsay Takes on the Spanish Pavillion
January 21, 2011 08:00 PM by Shayla Perry
Tonight on the season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares on FOX, Chef Gordon Ramsay heads to New Jersey to save the Spanish Pavillion, a family-owned restaurant where the owners spend more time arguing than anything else. Will Chef Ramsay be able to transform the business and help the family save their legacy, or will the drama and craziness continue? Keep reading to find out!
It's an all new season of Kitchen Nightmares, and Chef Gordon Ramsay is back to rescue more restaurants in despair. So what did you miss in the season premiere?
Located just a mile and a half from Newark, New Jersey's historic Ironbound neighborhood is the Spanish Pavillion, which was opened by Antonio Hernandez in 1976. Antonio, who also opened the first Spanish restaurant in the state, ran the restaurant until 1996, when he retired and left the business to his daughter, Balbina, and her sons, Jerry and Mike.
When the threesome took over the restaurant, the Spanish Pavillion was a booming business, with people lined up outside waiting to get in; but just five years later, things began to go downhill…
The customers complain that the food is terrible, and the waiters are dressed in tuxedos, serving casually dressed diners. Everyone on the staff agrees that the Spanish Pavillion's problems are mostly due to the poor leadership of Jerry and Mike. Mike is admittedly never around and thinks that his brother Jerry, who's also a town councilman, is always on the phone when he's there.
The brothers are always arguing, with their mother, Balbina, constantly stuck in the middle, and because of it, the business is failing and drowning in $500,000-$600,000 worth of debt.
So…Chef Gordon Ramsay to the rescue!
Right off the bat, Chef Ramsay sees the waiters in their tuxedos and asks them how old their uniforms are. He greets Jerry, who isn't too enthused to have him there, and has him give him the rundown on the restaurant's history. When Gordon Ramsay asks about "the chef," meaning Michael, Jerry says that he doesn't know if he'd exactly call his brother a chef, but that he's always in the kitchen–spending most of his time on his cell phone.
Chef Ramsay puts in his order, and immediately, Mike wipes his hands of the meal, taking no part in the preparation.
The chef is not impressed with his lobster bisque when it's presented to him, and when he questions where the lobster came from, he's directed to the restaurant's lobster tank where he finds a DEAD LOBSTER! Chef Ramsay expresses his concern that the other lobster in the tank have probably been feeding off of the dead one and collecting bacteria, but Mike insists that he keeps a good eye on the lobster daily.
Chef Ramsay is then given his next dish, which has been fried in so much olive oil that when he drains the oil from his plate, it almost fills an entire bowl! He has Jerry try the chicken, then has him take a piece to his brother to taste. Though Jerry agrees that the chicken doesn't taste good, Mike says that it's great, which let's Chef Ramsay know that he's in trouble when it comes to the rest of his meal.
Next is another lobster dish–with more lobster from the tank! Jerry takes the dish into the kitchen and asks Mike if he's purposely putting out poor dishes, and suggests that he go out and listen to what Chef Ramsay has to say.
When Chef Ramsay enters the kitchen, he questions Mike and what it is that he actually does at the restaurant. Mike still maintains that he's proud of everything that went out of the kitchen, but Chef Ramsay tells him that if his grandfather tasted the dishes he sent out, he'd be "beating the crap" out of him.
On Day One, it's time for Chef Ramsay to observe a dinner service at the Spanish Pavillion, and already, Mike is at the bar instead of in the kitchen. The meals are going out fast, and coming back even faster when the diners complain of food that's undercooked. Michael goes back into the kitchen, but so does Jerry, and both of them start trying to take control, which leads to a lot of yelling.
Mike's instructions are confusing to the cooks, and all he does is continuously scream at them. When Al, one of the cooks, asks Mike to just let him cook and get the food out, then tells Mike to leave him the f**k alone," Mike becomes frustrated and pushes him, yelling at him to get out!
Jerry and Balbina try to calm Mike down and send him outside to regroup. While he's gone, the kitchen manages to send out the last orders of the night.
After the service, Chef Gordon Ramsay tells the crew that he's never seen such a poorly organized team in the kitchen. With 21 of the night's dishes being sent back to the kitchen, the chef decides to investigate and see what's causing the trouble. The problem seems to be that the restaurant is buying too much food! Things are overstocked, not labeled, dead, etc. When Balbina, Mike, and Jerry arrive, Chef Ramsay gives them a rundown of everything he's seen, telling them that the freshest thing in their kitchen is the pigeon that's flying around it!
Mike, who's in charge of ordering the food, admits that all of the excess is his fault, and expresses that he may be a bit overwhelmed.
Chef Ramsay sits down and talks to Balbina and asks her what her father would think if he saw the restaurant the way it is today. Balbina knows that things are out of control and that something needs to be done about her sons' relationship before it tears the business apart.
On Day Two, Chef Ramsay starts by trying to get Michael doing his job in the kitchen–cooking. Mike is excited about the opportunity to learn from the famous chef and admits that he could use his help in getting back the passion that he's lost for cooking.
The diners arrive for dinner, with Mike cooking behind the line, and Jerry running the pass. The brothers both worry that they'll have trouble giving and taking orders from one another, but set out to do the best they can.
The customers are liking their meals at first and the dining room is packed, but things start to slow down in the kitchen and tensions begin to rise. A customer sends his chicken dish back, complaining that it's too dry, but when Chef Ramsay smells the chicken that's being used in the kitchen, he realizes that it's gone bad!
An hour and a half into the service, Chef Ramsay has to have all of the chicken in the kitchen thrown out and yells at Mike asking how much fresh chicken is downstairs. After someone gets some of the fresh chicken, Jerry manages to pull things together, and Chef Ramsay is impressed with his performance throughout the night.
After everyone goes home, Chef Ramsay's crew gets busy making over the New Jersey restaurant, revealing a newer, more modern Spanish Pavillion to the staff the next morning.
Everyone is astounded by the transformation, but there's still work to be done.
Chef Ramsay shows Mike, Jerry, and Balbina that they now have a lot of competition in the area, but have the opportunity to stand apart from the rest by serving more modern Spanish fare. He presents them not only with their new, modern menu, but the improved uniforms for the waiters–no more tuxedos!
It's time for the next dinner service, and already, Mike is casting his doubts on whether his brother will be able to keep things together. The customers like the modern menu, but the kitchen is having trouble keeping the pace and filling all of the orders that are pouring in. Mike is especially overwhelmed and confused, which stalls things in the dining room.
Finally, Chef Ramsay calls Mike aside and tells him that he has to keep it together and stop arguing with his brother in front of everyone else. Mike apologizes to Jerry and the two start working together and complete the dinner service on a high note.
After the service, Chef Ramsay tells the crew that they didn't do things perfectly, but that they put the Spanish Pavillion back on the map and that they show promise. He then pulls the brothers aside and tells them that they have to look after each other, and that if they can manage to do so, the restaurant will survive.
Weeks after Chef Gordon Ramsay's visit, Jerry is spending more time at the restaurant, embracing his role as a leader. Mike is adapting to playing a larger role in the kitchen again, but more importantly, the brothers are working together to carry on their family's legacy with pride.

I have always eaten there. Nothing wrong with the old menu. That's why I always went back. The new menu is a trendy modern Spanish and I don't like it at all. I love Chef Ramsey, but not loving the revamp!

I would also like to mention, that the place was always pretty crowded. One time I was told I had to wait an hour and a half, so I went to Applebees instead. The staff was always pretty nice and caring (with the exception of the mean old coatroom lady).

I have always loved going there and never found anything wrong with the food. It was always crowded. We had to call ahead or wait for a while for a table. Our family also have had parties at the lower level and the service always been good. I think I like the old menu better.

Small town in Hertfordshire, in the South East of England. It is the main town in the Borough of Broxbourne, which also contains Wormley, Hoddesdon, Waltham Cross, Goffs Oak, and Cheshunt. The River Lee, which starts at Luton, and joins the River Thames in South London, runs straight through it. Broxbourne is, therefore, at a high risk of flooding, as parts of it are very close to the river bank. It is just North of London, close to Enfield, and is not on the London Underground network. It is also very close to the border between Hertfordshire and Essex. It is the home of The Broxbourne School, as well as several primary schools.
I wish I lived somewhere with things to do other than walk and cycle, like Broxbourne

SanDisk Buys Fusion-io: Fusion Indeed
Michael Comeau
SanDisk's latest acquisition is a smart move from a strategic perspective.

This morning,
(NASDAQ:SNDK) announced it is buying enterprise flash storage company
(NYSE:FIO) for $11.25 per share in cash, or $1.1 billion, net of cash assumed.
This looks like a good deal for SanDisk, which has over $4 billion in net cash on its balance sheet.
As of Friday's close, Fusion-io was trading at $9.28, 78% below its all-time high. The company has suffered from executive departures and a big slowdown in growth as major customers like
(NASDAQ:AAPL) and
(NASDAQ:FB) reduced spending.
SanDisk had been beefing up its enterprise SSD offerings by buying companies like Pilant Technology, SMART Storage Systems, and FlashSoft, and Fusion-io's expertise in the PCIe SSD market makes it a logical fit.
Fusion-io also brings a lot of OEM partnerships with companies like
(NASDAQ:CSCO) and
(NYSE:IBM), and it still has a pretty impressive client list, selling to companies like
(NYSE:P), Zappos, Datalogix, Zendesk, and Rakuten.
Customer concentration is still a problem, but it isn't as bad as it was at the IPO.
Last quarter, Fusion-io customers that had more than 10% of revenues were 61% of total revenues. At its IPO (Q3 of 2011), three customers accounted for 77% of revenues.
And in any case, SanDisk is likely looking at this deal as a portfolio addition rather than simply a purchase of a revenue stream.
As of the time I'm writing this (9:25 a.m. EDT), Fusion-io is trading at $11.45, above the $11.25 deal price. There's probably some short-covering going on, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see traders grumbling about the price.
I'm not long Fusion-io, but if I were, I'd be ringing the register here on at least part of a position.

Natasha Lyonne left fighting for life'American Pie' star Natasha Lyonne is fighting for her life in hospital.
The beautiful actress was admitted to intensive care in New York with hepatitis C, a collapsed lung and a heart infection.
While her father, Aaron Braunstein, thinks the star picked up the liver virus while shooting a movie in Bulgaria three years ago, it is also rumoured the star contracted the disease from becoming addicted to drugs.
According to America's New York Post newspaper Lyonne is receiving methadone treatment, typically used to combat heroin addiction, and picked up hepatitis C through using shared needles.
The 26-year-old had not been seen in public since a judge issued an arrest warrant in April after she failed to attend a court hearing for harassment and trespassing.
The star had allegedly exploded after a row with her New York neighbour and ripped a mirror off a wall before threatening to sexually molest the woman's dog.
The newspaper has also alleged Lyonne was subsequently evicted from her home and was living on the streets before being admitted to hospital.
However, Lyonne's father Aaron denied the report, telling American TV show Access Hollywood. "There's a confidentiality between patient, doctor and hospital, so all of this is probably going to be a major lawsuit.
He earlier revealed: "She's probably with the wrong crowd. The main thing, she picked up the liver thing in Bulgaria during 'The Grey Zone.' It's a tragedy but we're praying for her."

Ruffalo: Lax oversight by taxpayers hits hard in pocketbook
By: Jim Ruffalo
Forgive me, Gentle Readers, but today's sermon may at first appear to be non-local. Normally we all want local news, but now and again something happens elsewhere that should warrant our undivided attention. And, as it is in many cases, that distant piece of news sooner or later has great importance locally. For example, now that the recently elected Wisconsin state legislature has voted to strip collective bargaining from state workers' contracts, the amalgamated unions have wasted absolutely no time in mounting a recall effort against some of the Republicans. At first blush, the move seems cavalier. After all, we just had a brace of elections a few months ago and, in many places including the Cheesehead State, Republicans rolled to power, mostly on the basis of claiming they were the more fiscally responsible party. Yet, when some Republicans did precisely what they'd promised, the unionists quickly demanded a do-over, which is precisely what a recall election is. Not fair, and — especially in light of how many Democrat legislators fled outside the state boundaries whenever it appeared they couldn't garner enough votes to carry an issue — it also appeared rather petulant. By now you may think that this screed is little more than a complaint against what obviously is another power grab from the unionists, but the opposite is true. Why? Because this effort could wind up being the defining moment for America. The union forces have targeted the eight most vulnerable Republican state senators, based upon the most recent margin of victory and the registration numbers in those affected districts. The unions figure by pouring seven-figures of union dues into each of those districts, they can seize the day and get enough new votes to change things in the legislature. Should they win — and the odds are certainly in their favor in these days of buying elections — then it's game over and no re-set button in sight. However, if enough of the silent majority gets off their couches and votes this scheme into oblivion, then we finally have the line in the sand. Face it! This country has hit the tipping point in that there now are more people getting some sort of government handout than there are people paying for it. Of course one would vote in favor of a handout whenever there was no cost to the recipient. It probably began tipping over when we changed the word "handout" to "entitlement" because all of a sudden, recipients no longer appeared grateful but instead began demanding "their fair share" of a pie in which they contributed no ingredients and spent no time in baking. The brighter ones among us immediately recognized this as the natural evolution of vote-buying, It's always wonderful when somebody buys a round for the house, but how great is it when the costs get put on your bar-tab? Perfect example is that slush fund, pardon me, that so-called revenue sharing practiced by our Board of Supervisors. You know, where supes shell out a few hundred bucks for some community event deemed worthwhile, then pretend that they got the money by reaching into their own wallets, our purse for that matter. Then there's that almost cottage industry concept of forming a group, then seeking — and many times getting — taxpayers' money to run it. Of course, those efforts usually are accompanied by some proposed executive director picking up beaucoup bucks composed entirely of money pried away from us taxpayers. The truth is, we taxpayers have been exceeding lax in keeping a close watch on governmental functions. Need an example? Consider the annual event of school-boards cobbling together a budget. Important work, but more often than not, those public sessions have more empty seats than the latest Rob Reiner movie. Yes, there's truth to the claim that most taxpayers work for a living and have very little time to attend such functions. On the other hand, at what point can you not afford to keep an eye upon people publicly scheming to spend your money on things that you many times wouldn't support even if you afford to do so? The recent union riots in Madison got plenty of attention. The reports from the event will make it easier for the unionists to win the recall election, but it is not a slam-dunk. Every eon or so, the taxpayers finally have had enough and actually do something about it. Proposition 13 was one prime example of that, although more and more of the Gentle Readers are too young to remember those battles. So the proposed Wisconsin recall elections will serve a purpose after all. Either we taxpayers collectively roll over and toss four paws into the air in a gesture of mass surrender, or we somehow get a spine implant and end this nonsense once and for all. Is that local enough for you? Jim Ruffalo's column runs on Sundays. To contact him, e-mail email@example.com.

Today on this 2006 Honda CR-V we will be installing wiring harness part number 118336. We are in the rear cargo area of the vehicle and the port that we are going to be plugging our harness into is located right behind here behind the rear threshold closer to the driver side. So we need to remove some pieces to gain access to that. Start by removing the carpeting here from the cargo area and also the rear cargo door. We want to remove the rear threshold piece here as well. We also need to remove the screws from the tie downs here and here. Take a flathead screwdriver or a rivet tool and just get that in there and kind of gently pry back to release the clips here on the interior. When you are trying to remove the interior panel here you actually need to pull out first because you need to release the sockets that are actually in to the metal on the interior. Get that out of there. 01:22
With the panel pulled back you can see the plug that we are looking to plug our harness into. It is the open ended plug right there with the blue tape around it. We will just simply want to peel the tape back and we will plug our harness in line to it. The only other thing we need to do is to take the converter box and mount it to a metal surface behind that panel. You can see on the back here we have got double sided tape. We can simply peel that back. Pull the interior panel back. Okay we just want to go ahead and pull the 4-pole out from behind the panel. That is going to stayed stored in the cargo area here when not in use. I am just going to take the zip tie that is provided with our wiring kit and just tie it to the main wiring harness here. Now we can go ahead and start reinstalling our interior. You can see where the 4-pole is going to sit when we get the interior of the vehicle reinstalled. When you want to use the 4-pole you can simply pull it out the rear cargo door. You can go ahead and close the door on the plug and the weather stripping will prevent it from being pinched. With that that will conclude the installation of wiring harness part number 118336 on a 2006 Honda CR-V.

Next well go ahead and take off this threshold, under is a couple of plastic fasteners that we have to remove. Now to remove these you actually push down on the center and then pop them loose.

Well just use a plastic pry bar and kind of work our way around.
Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2004 Honda CR-V
Today on this 2004 Honda CRV we're going to install part number 43105 from Hopkins. Our connector is going to be inside of the vehicle so we're going to open up the back door.

If you push down on the center of rivet you can pull it out much easier. Then we'll apply a steady pressure from the bottom and pop up the threshold. Once we have the threshold up and out of the way we can loosen up the panel on the drivers side. To gain access behind it we need to remove the fasteners securing the drivers side quarter panel.

We'll move the pushpin fastener in the bottom of the panel and then gently pull out releasing the fasteners underneath until we can gain access to the manufacturer's tow port, which is a white plug taped to the manufacturer's harness using blue tape.

However I can only dynamically link the QT libraries used by my program.
Does it mean any user who executes my program has to download QT to

LGPL requires releasing the source for the LGPL'ed library and any changes

distributing apps in binary form is not a problem with either the LGPL or

Before Highway 1 traced the California coast, Pescadero was a popular destination along the stagecoach road from Santa Cruz to San Francisco. Tucked into the rolling hills, the hamlet offered travelers then, as it does now, beaches, colossal redwoods, and farm-fresh artichokes and olallieberries.
You can savor the town's history by stopping at bustling Duarte's Tavern. Owner Ron Duarte's grandfather opened the place in 1894 and Ron has been refining the restaurant since the 1950s. He cooks with fresh local ingredients, creating such dishes as crab cioppino and his celebrated cream of artichoke soup.
Quick Tip
For elegant camping, head 11 miles south to Costanoa with its cabins, tent bungalows, and 40-room lodge. Enjoy a spa and 30,000 acres laced with foot trails. $40–$350. 2001 Rossi Rd., (877) 262–7848, www.costanoa.com.
Surprisingly, tiny Pescadero holds a trove of interesting shops. Made in Pescadero specializes in locally produced, handcrafted furniture and art. Steps away, you can browse for ceramic garden torches at Luna Sea or stained glass, jewelry, and cat-themed gifts at Stage Road Shops.
The Pescadero area is rich in possibilities for day trips. If there's a picnic in your plans, stop by the Arcangeli Grocery Company/Norm's Market for a bottle of wine and some of Mike Benedetti's homemade artichoke bread. You can also tour the award-winning Harley Farms Goat Dairy on North Street. Back along Highway 1, at Pescadero State Beach, you can walk the sand dunes and keep an eye out for harbor seals. Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve, at the junction of Highway 1 and Pescadero Road, is a prime birding spot. Five miles east of town, Butano State Park has 3,500 acres of redwood-filled canyon.
When it's time to turn in, you'll find cozy rooms with clawfoot tubs at the Pescadero Creek Inn Bed and Breakfast. The Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel provides bunkrooms with shared bathrooms next to an authentic 19th-century lighthouse.
Before you leave, stop at Phipps Country Store and Farm. There you can select fresh produce and dip a scoop into bins full of unusual homegrown beans. You also can pick your own strawberries from May through September and gather olallieberries in early summer. And don't miss the barnyard zoo, complete with snoring pigs and Himalayan monal pheasants.

Conan Goes Monty Python For His New TBS Promo
By Josh Tyler 6 years ago comments
The newest promo for Conan OBriens new TBS show is, well, weird. Maybe it reflects the increased amount of creative freedom hes likely to have with the network. Or maybe its simply his way of telling us hes really, really, into classic Python. The promo, which you can see embedded below, looks an awful lot like some of the animation created by Terry Gilliam for Monty Pythons Flying Circus in the seventies and the subsequent Python movies. Is Conan going to open his new show with the Dead Parrot sketch? Or maybe the Spanish Inquisition? No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Heres the promo:

Visit Boy Toy DVD
Boy Toy DVDis more than just your regular video-on-demand service. Besides being able to watch flicks online, you can actually have DVDs delivered directly to your home if you live in the United States. There are no due dates or late fees, which works out to a better deal than some of the local video stores. You pay one monthly fee to order up to six rentals per month. Delivery is free and you can return the DVDs in a postage-paid envelope.
BoyToyDVD is outstanding for those in the U.S who can rent the actual discs. As for those who can only stream the vids, it's perhaps slightly less impressive. Either way, the selection is huge. There are over 3,000 DVDs to rent and when it comes to pay-per-minute titles, there are over 3,500 streaming DVDs. It is easy to switch between a rental and PPM view, so that you only see the content available for your membership plan.
You'll find average-looking playback online and you can fast-forward and rewind, which is important, because these DVDs are not split up into scenes. There also aren't any vid caps or photos, just the front and back of the DVD box as well as info listing the director, performers and the categories of action covered. These are all in the form of links so that you can find other related titles.
You can also browse the DVDs by title, studio, performer or category. There is also a keyword search engine and an advanced search page. One small flaw is that you will never see more than the first 2,500 most relevant results to any query. However, whether browsing search results or a category page, you can further filter by date, release year, title, user rating, alphabetical order and studio.
The rental pricing is reasonable. The more you pay, the more DVDs you can have at once. The lowest priced monthly option only lets you have one title at a time. You have to wait until they receive your last DVD before they send you the next one by first-class U.S mail. How many movies you manage to see also depends on how long you keep them, how long it takes for them to first arrive and the turnaround time when sending them back.
The per-minute price is average when compared to most sites. They've also added a flat-rate streaming rental option with various prices for two to seven days of access. Boy Toy DVD is, in my opinion, more appealing for its U.S rentals program because its pay-per-minute vids aren't very high in quality.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Second of all: basics and caveats. N=40. All numbers were self-reported, and varied, according to those surveyed, between to-the-penny accounting and vast generalizations. Most, but not all of those surveyed are US citizens, and numbers were given in (or converted to) US Dollars. No data was collected on reporters' incomes, ages, educational status or profession, all of which would have been interesting and worthwhile and useful additions, but I didn't think y'all would share that data with an internet stranger (except for a few of you helpers, who gave me a few clues about that stuff; sorry I couldn't use it).
Okey-dokey, gals, as promised, I got your digits (no, not those digits) and did some basic statisticky ju-ju with them. I don't want to just paste up my Excel spreadsheet (although I could email it to you if you really wanted it, with names/avatars redacted, if anyone is a stats whiz and interested in stuff I am unqualified to do), so here are the basics:
The lowest reported sum total (for hair, makeup, hair removal, appliances, other products and services) was $50, the highest was $3780, making quite a broad range of $3730.
The average or mean was [$31,956.98/40] or $798.92. Yipes. That seems like a lot.
The median (number smack dab in the middle of the range) was $613.
There were three modes (the amount "most often occuring"): $50, $660, and $845. Each of these occured twice, which is hardly overwhelming. Modes aren't terribly helpful here…
However, out of 40
3 of you, or 7.5%, spend < $100 14 of you, or 35%, spend between $101-500 14 of you, or 35%, spend between $501-1000 5 of you, or 12.5%, spend between $1001-2000 1 of you, or 2.5%, spends between $2001-3000 2 of you, or 5%, spend > $3000
So, we can fairly surmise that the majority of harpies–70%–spend between $101 and $1000 per annum on beauty costs. Those numbers fit with both the mean and the median.
As to what sucks up all of those HarpyBuxx (they're not just good for abortions anymore!): our lovely, lovely tresses: 43% of expenditures go towards hair cuts, coloring, or other services. Make-up takes up another 29%. The rest:
Hair removal: 8%
Nails: 7%
Other products: 7%
Spa: 4%
Appliances: 2%
This is fairly representative, I think, although there are some variances, I know, in where some people slotted certain things: is sunscreen a cosmetic, or an "other" purchase? Different reporters indicated different things. What about cotton pads used for removing nail polish: under "nails," or "appliances"?
(I made a graph, but I'll be damned if I can get it out of Excel and into this blog. I'll work on it getting it up when I've got the time).
Anyway, that's what we've been spending. It's worth looking at the numbers as-is, so we can see what beauty is really costing us, in dollar amounts. (I don't think we can do a spreadsheet on what it's costing us in terms of mental and physical health.) In the next installment, I'm going to think about what else you might do with that money.
A number of you expressed surprise at your spending, comparing it to X months of rent or groceries. It does add up: what else you might spend $613, or even nearly $800 a year on?

Young Romantics: The Shelleys, Byron and Other Tangled Lives (2010)
by Daisy Hay
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Romantics have been a huge part of my life; if it wasn't for them I may never have become a reader. Problem is, I don't know much about their lives so I have set out to learn more. Young Romantics by Daisy Hay tells the basic story of their lives, but with the subtitle The Shelleys, Byron and Other Tangled Lives you can be sure it will be heavily focused on Mary and Claire.
This is not necessarily a bad thing; Mary Shelley and Claire Clairmont were fascinating people, however this seems to be the primary focus of more biographies. I was a little surprised when Daisy Hay spends so little time on that fateful time in Geneva that birthed Frankenstein but I assume that she deliberately glossed over that story assuming everyone was aware of it anyway.
Young Romantics did something I didn't expect and that was spending a lot of time talking about the Hunt brothers. I knew they played a big part in literature at the time and that in context to the Romantics it is relevant information. However I never viewed them as Romantics and often over looked learning about them. This is a mistake on my behalf; the role the Hunts played in the Romantic Movement is an essential part in dealing with context. I might not consider them Romantics but they were there shaping the literary world along side them.
Having discovered a new interest in non-fiction I find myself wanting to read more biographies. While I have a great interest in the Romantics, I found that Young Romantics works to create a basic understanding of their lives. You get a quick overview of the lives of the Shelleys and the Hunts. Unfortunately there isn't much to do with Lord Byron and even less to do with the others. I would have loved to read more about Keats but he only got a brief look in.
I plan to read more biographies about a range of different authors but I'm sure there will be plenty on the Romantics. I like Young Romantics for the broad strokes approach it took on the Romantics. I learnt a lot from this book but I'm sure people with a great knowledge would have been a little disappointed with it. I think if you have a passing interest in the Romantics this might be the perfect choice.
This review originally appeared on my blog; http://literary-exploration.com/2014/05/21/young-romantics-by-daisy-hay/
Was surprised how much I enjoyed the telling of the interwoven lives of the romantic poets Shelley, Byron, Keats along with Mary Shelley and the women in their lives. Fascinating insight into a very specific period - and whilst it was of a period, it is quite contemporary particularly how there lives and attitudes change from their idealist late teens' to 20's to their maturating 30's and so on. I think [[Daisy Hay]] has done a great job finding some common threads, in particular Leigh Hunt and Mary Shelley, to tie a potentially messy story into a coherent understanding of the life and times and influences of these influential artists.
Incest! Suicide! Adultery! Child Abandonment! Ménage à trois! Revolution! Free love! Atheism! Vegetarianism! Counter-culture! So, an account of the 1960s? Try 1810s. As the subtitle proclaims, this is about "the Shelleys, Byron, and other tangled lives"--including Keats: "a story of exceptional men and women, who were made by their relationships with one another."
You might know that the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was friends with the equally renowned poet Lord Byron and husband to Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. You may even know the famous story of the novel's genesis in a challenge that each should write a ghost story. Mary was nineteen then--she was sixteen when she ran away with Shelley--while he was still married to his first wife, who was pregnant at the time. Mary's stepsister Claire ran away with them, and would later give birth to Byron's illegitimate daughter. The coterie were advocates of "free love," which Claire in old age would condemn as a "perfect hell." I have to admit, although far from socially conservative, I'm no fan of "free love" and the wreckage it leaves in its wake, and this book gives plenty of fodder to confirm my opinion. Neither Shelley nor Byron come off well in this group biography, even if Shelley had the excuse of youthful idealism, and seemed more thoughtless than intentionally cruel.
They were all so young though. When this account opens, Mary was fifteen, Shelley twenty and Byron only twenty-four. Shelley wouldn't reach thirty. Keats, who is my favorite of the poets that appears here died at an even more obscenely young age--twenty-five. Not that Keats figures much here--I garnered more of his story from the introduction to my book of his poems than from this book. But the Shelleys are central, and with many of their letters and diaries surviving, Hay is able to paint a very intimate portrait that is psychologically nuanced and astute, and sheds light on the men's work. Keats may be a favorite, but I was underwhelmed by most of what I've read by Percy Shelley, and have read little of Lord Byron. It's to the book's credit it left me wanting to give Shelley another chance, and Lord Byron a try. I might count myself lucky after reading this book not to be in their circle or that of anyone like them, but they certainly left a rich literary legacy. And this is more than a gossipy account of their scandalous "turbulent communal existence"--it grounds them in the intellectual and political ferment of their times.
But, well, can't help but leave you with a link to this comic strip that captured the central relationship in the book well :-) Enjoy!
A breezy take on Shelly and his fascinating circle. The book is very entertaining when when recounting the events and personalities, peppered with a little gossipy speculation. It becomes tedious, however, when it strays into theories of creativity and relationships; there you glimpse the the books foundation of the doctoral thesis of a gifted writer, but not terribly original thinker. Still, it's a good beach read for the literary minded.
I received Daisy Hay's Young Romantics: The Tangled Lives of English Poetry's Greatest Generation as a graduation gift, and I went into it with two hopes: one, that it would support my pet theory that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is in part written as a satire at the expense of the insufferable male poets in her life, and that reading about the Romantic poets would be more intriguing than reading Romantic poetry in 100-level English courses.
For the former, I was left more or less where I started. None of the letters and diaries concerning Mary Shelley contained any particular indication that the quietly subverted Romantic tropes in Frankenstein had anything to do with annoyance at Percy Shelley's, Lord Byron's, or anyone else's behavior, although I am perhaps more convinced that, if I were Mary Shelley, that is exactly why I would have put them in there.
As to the latter hope, I was not disappointed. Young Romantics tells a tangled story of a network of famous poets and their less-famous friends and family members, most of whom were very young, very brilliant, and very politically radical. The resulting drama makes their literary legacies—some of the most enduring in English writing—look positively boring in comparison.
There are more or less two central points to the social network that made up the Romantic group, giving the book two main narrative threads which sometimes interweave. The first thread follows journalist and free-speech activist Leigh Hunt, who kicks off the book with a two-year prison sentence for libel due to the political content of his newspaper, The Examiner. In prison and out of it, Hunt made himself and his rooms the epicenter of a salon of radicals, freethinkers, poets and journalists, as well as a rather large group of relatives including his wife Marianne, his botanist sister-in-law Bess, his brother John (co-owner of The Examiner and the only fiscally responsible person in the family), and an enormous brood of children.
The other main narrative thread follows Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, daughter of radical freethinker William Godwin and early feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, a radical anti-monarchist who was expelled from Oxford after writing a pamphlet on The Necessity of Atheism. Mary, as formidable a creative and intellectual force as her parents, would go on to be best known as the author of Frankenstein; Shelley, despite his political activism, would go on to become the poster boy for underweight, sentimental, tortured poetic genius. In Young Romantics, however, we get to know them as an idealistic young couple, prone to quarreling with their family members and making daring, ill-thought-out decisions, such as eloping to Italy without any money. The most frequently reoccurring characters in Percy and Mary's story include Mary's stepsister and Lord Byron's mistress, Claire Clairmont, Lord Byron himself, and their illegitimate daughter. Daisy Hay guides us through their personal dramas and literary achievements as the group continually splits up and comes back together again, traveling from England to Italy and back several times. Poems, novels, letters and diaries are written prolifically; children are born, and die, or become the subjects of vicious custody battles. Other Romantic celebrities such as John Keats, Thomas Love Peacock, Charles and Mary Lamb, William Hazlitt, Benjamin Haydon, and Vincent Novello drift in and out of their circle and Leigh Hunt's.
Young Romantics is not just a set of biographic stories of the individual Romantic greats, just as the Romantic movement (or "Cockney school," as it was called at the time) was more than just a number of individual people who all wrote in a similar style. The Romantic group was held together as a group—as a movement—by a set of commonly shared concerns and principles, many of which are precisely what disposed the Romantic writers' lives so uniquely to such vast amounts of drama. Hay never lets us lose sight of these principles, and the impact they had on even the most deeply personal aspects of the Romantics' lives. Many of them were driven by radical political concerns, particularly freedom of speech, which is part of what caused so many visionaries to congregate around Leigh Hunt's imprisonment and the various liberal publications to come out of the Hunts' press. The Shelley group also tried to live according to principles of free-love, an idealistic, anti-marriage lifestyle that managed to backfire spectacularly upon its practitioners. Before the advent of reliable birth control and under the early nineteenth century's deeply sexist marriage and property laws, free-love was so impracticable that many of the most vocal free-love advocates ended up married. Perhaps the most important common bond of the Romantics, however, was their exploration of the relationship between sociability and creativity. The biographic sketches in the book are full of scenes of geniuses editing and inspiring each other's work, holding writing competitions and penning long epistles to one another. Fictionalized versions of friends and family members feature heavily in the Romantic writers' works, to a degree that they not only became known and mocked for it, but that the reading public began to attribute the fictional aspects of Romantic works to the writer's lives. (This caused serious damage to Bess and Claire's reputations when Hunt and Shelley wrote poems exploring themes of incest.) Daisy Hay balances exploring friendship as a Romantic ideal and chronicling the frequently tense, conflict-ridden actual friendships in question with grace, clarity and thorough research.
This centrality of friendship to the Romantic school raised a new concern following the tragically premature deaths of many of the notable Romantics, particularly Percy Shelley and Lord Byron: the issue of legacy. The surviving members of the network, such as Leigh Hunt and Mary Shelley, spent years battling in writing over the legacies of their dead friends. Biographies, carefully edited posthumous anthologies, and newspaper reviews were the weapons of choice as Shelley, Hunt and even Claire Clairmont angled to cement certain visions of themselves and their social circle into the British imagination. Though most of the cast is dead, the last section in Young Romantics is particularly fascinating to a reader who is truly interested in history, since it does not merely report history as that which happened—it shows how the history of the Romantics, as we usually learn it, was actually made.
Young Romantics is an example of the best sort of non-fiction: meticulously well-researched, full of quirky historical tidbits and telling a story strange and dramatic enough to be fiction. Hay's writing is clear and well-organized, and seamlessly weaves in ample accounts of the subjects' lives in their own words. Though the book contains very little in the way of literary criticism, the links she establishes between the poets' lives and their works has me eyeing the collections of Romantic poetry I've had sitting around untouched for years, and that is no small feat.
It must be admitted that I may, however, merely wind up rereading Frankenstein.
The epigraph to Young Romantics is taken from something Keats wrote of his circle in 1817: "The web of our Life is of mingled yarn." It is the author's great achievement to have so deftly unpicked the glorious knot formed by these jumbled and many hued fibres, and by doing so, to have revealed their true colours, blazing and afresh.
But it's as a biographer pure and simple that Hay shines. Despite being almost as youthful as her subjects — she only recently received her doctorate from Cambridge, and "Young Romantics" is her first book — she is a skilled and sure-footed chronicler. In firm, clear, often elegant prose, she narrates the main events in the lives of her subjects from 1813, when they began to coalesce around Hunt in London, till 1822, when Shelley drowned near Livorno, Italy. She also more briefly considers the aftermath of that tragedy; Byron's death in Greece in 1824; the later lives of the remaining figures; and, finally, the struggle over the legacies of Shelley and Byron waged by Hunt and other memoirists. Moving swiftly and purposefully, her story has no longueurs whatsoever, nor even a single lurching transition; it represents a triumph of artful selection and synthesis. If you want to read a single book of modest length on the lives (less so the work) of the later Romantics, this might very well be the one.

Young Romantics tells the story of the interlinked lives of the young English Romantic poets from an entirely fresh perspective—celebrating their extreme youth and outsize yearning for friendship as well as their individuality and political radicalism.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:28 -0400)
Focuses on the network of writers and readers who gathered around Percy Bysshe Shelley and the campaigning journalist Leigh Hunt. They included Lord Byron, John Keats, and Mary Shelley, as well as a host of lesser-known figures: Mary Shelley's stepsister and Byron's mistress, Claire Clairmont; Hunt's botanist sister-in-law, Elizabeth Kent; the musician Vincent Novello; the painters Benjamin Haydon and Joseph Severn; and writers such as Charles and Mary Lamb, Thomas Love Peacock, and William Hazlitt. They were characterized by talent, idealism, and youthful ardor, and these qualities shaped and informed their politically oppositional stances--as did their chaotic family arrangements, which often left the young women, despite their talents, facing the consequences of the men's philosophies.… (more)
