SAINT LEO, Fla. – Two early goals held up as the 13th-ranked Saint Leo men's soccer team held tough to defeat visiting Nova Southeastern 2-1 in NCAA South Region action at University Field on Wednesday night.
Striking early, the Lions picked up the game's first goal in the 27th minute when Chris Lavie came sliding into the box and redirected a Michael Panter cross into the back of the net.
Just eight minutes later Saint Leo (6-1) would spin the scoreboard again when Maximilian Schulze-Geisthovel raced past two defenders and managed the work the ball just inside the far post for the 2-0 lead.
The two goal advantage held until Nova Southeastern (3-2-2) picked up a goal in the 74th minute when Matthew Ilter managed to lob a shot over the arms of Manuel Schoenhuber. With the lead cut in half, the Lions managed to run the final 16 minutes off the board to seal the win.
Schoenhuber picked up the win for the Lions in goal as he registered three saves and only allowed the one tally. He improves to 6-1 in 2013.
Andrea Giombetti (3-2-2) is credited with the NSU loss behind three saves and two allowed goals.
The Lions will now look towards nearly a week of rest before welcoming Lynn University into University Field next Tuesday. The Lions and Fighting Knights will kick off at 7:00 p.m. in the first Sunshine State Conference contest of 2013.

Car crashes into UF dorm
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
A car crashed into the side of a University of Florida residence hall Friday afternoon, but no one in the dorm was injured, officials said.
Officials would not identify the driver, nor would they give the driver's condition or explain how the accident occurred. Officials did say that the female driver was taken to Shands at the University of Florida.
Around 3 p.m. Friday, the driver of a gray BMW 325I drove into the side of a bedroom in the Lakeside Complex residence hall. No one was in the room at the time of the crash, said Norbert Dunkel, UF associate vice president for student affairs.
The car did not penetrate the wall of the bedroom, but a window was shattered and cement blocks shifted and broke off on the outside wall, officials said.
Lauren Troncoso, 19, the resident of the bedroom, came home to find her bedroom window covered with a large board. Out of the four roommates, the UF journalism freshman was the only one not at home at the time of the crash, so a roommate called her.
"None of my stuff was damaged, just the window," Troncoso said. "My roommate next door slept right through the crash."
The UF Housing staff removed three trash cans full of cement and debris from the crash scene and boarded up the side of the residence hall.

This exception will occur when the data in the database is no longer synchronized with the data in the file system data store. Both must remain synchronized at all times, otherwise data loss will occur. It is part of the maintenance tasks to ensure that the following items are backed up regularly at the same time:
- GDS document store (file system/network location)
- Content Services data store (file system/network location)
- Database schema
This information is described in detail with instructions in the LiveCycle Administration guide:
If the data in the Content Services data store is no longer synchronized with the data in the database, then this exception is thrown, as data integrity has been compromised. This can happen if another server/user has access to the file data store and makes changes, or if the data in the database is modified by another user/application.
It can also occur while performing configuration changes to your LiveCycle installation if the deployment of these changes quits unexpectedly leaving the database and local data stores out-of-synch.
To resolve this situation you will need to restore the components above from the last valid configuration.
If this is a fresh installation of LC content services, then you can drop the Content Services tables in the database, delete any content in the data store, and re-try the deployment. The following technote describes which tables you need to drop (i.e. it gives you the SQL commands to run):
The Content Services tables in the database get created while the adobe-contentservices.ear file is being deployed (not during database initialization). Once you have cleaned the DB and the data store, simply re-start the application server with the content services EAR file, and the tables will be re-created.

The US publishing business is in turmoil, driven by the rise of e-books and the decline of print. It has now reached a turning point with e-book revenues overtaking those of adult hardbacks.
The hardback is under severe pressure globally – UK publishers increasingly publish "trade paperbacks" initially rather than hardbacks. The hardback survives in the US but its future as a mass product looks dim.
In some ways, that is a shame. I am reading The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan in the US hardback, which is an object of beauty. The Knopf hardcover is finely bound, has an embossed cover of golden suns and moons, and is edged in blood-red.
That said, the hardback list price is $25.95, compared with $12.99 for the more prosaic black and white Kindle version. The margins for Knopf's parent Random House* on the Kindle edition are higher, while the reader pays half-price. Read more

Morawka - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkSeems like companies are unwilling to sell Thunderbolt devices at a reasonable 30% profit margin. Nah since it's thunderbolt, they gotta double their money.
Tray Price is $10 for TB 2.0.. come-on guys Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkThis is probably a dumb statement, but I wonder how TB pricing will be affected by 10GbE pricing in the coming years. Right now to get RJ45-compatible 10GBE devices, you're looking at $300-600 for a NIC and $500-3,000 for a switch. Seems like if you want to get above the 1GbE speed limit, you need to spend considerably more for either LAG-enabled devices, 10GbE devices, or TB devices. Even (good) 802.11ac equipment has been pretty expensive compared to 802.11n. Reply
ddriver - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkThe two don't really compete, so why would it affect 10 GbE pricing? Did USB 3 affect it? Even though it is 5 gbit? Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkBecause Intel is marketing TB as a 10GbE alternative:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/intel-expan... Reply
ddriver - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkThis is not ethernet, you can establish p2p communication via USB 3 as well, but unlike ethernet, you cannot have neither long cables, nor multiple hosts. It is an alternative for "fast connection between two PCs" but certainly not an alternative to "10 gbit ethernet", more like it sounds like a "cheap" way to connect two PCs without investing in 10 gbit network hardware. Reply
457R4LDR34DKN07 - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkbut unlike ethernet, you cannot have neither long cables
200ft is pretty long. Reply
ddriver - Saturday, April 12, 2014 - linkYeah, and 10 meters of the optical TB2 cable costs 330$... 330$ for the cable only? For this money, you can get an actual 10 GbE adapter... I don't even want to know how much 200 ft will cost... Reply
ddriver - Saturday, April 12, 2014 - linkAlso, the 100 ft cable is 660$. 30 meters of cable at the price of two 10 GbE adapters... how very "neat" and "competitive". Reply
Black Obsidian - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkI can see the logic involved in their pricing. Basically the only people with Thunderbolt functionality are Mac owners, who are accustomed to paying very healthy margins for their hardware. It's extremely high-quality hardware, no doubt, but the margins on it are high. That being the case, they can be reasonably expected to pay the same margins on supporting hardware as well, especially relatively-rare items like Thunderbolt (2) devices. Reply
Morawka - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkIf they would lower prices it would become more mainstream. Its a vicious cycle. One of two factors has to break for it to go mainstream.. Price or Availability. Reply
WinterCharm - Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - linkWD is selling a really nice 4TB RAID drive that's thunderbolt only for about $400. Not bad at all, since you can fully configure the RAID. Reply
CalaverasGrande - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkthis is why I bought the oft maligned DroboMini.
It's not the fastest DAS solution. But it is the cheapest one that connects via Thunderbolt. And unlike a lot of other TB products, it has USB 3.0 as well.
If Drobo can release a TB raid box at $600 (then drop it to $350!)
There really is no excuse for these $3000 boxes.
For crying out loud at that price I can fill a dumb (non raid) TB2 box with SSDs.
EG the OWC Thunderbay IV. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkThese $3000 boxes have 6TB HDDs.. Have you found them in the consumer market yet? The last time I searched, the HGST He drive was $800+ per drive. Reply
CalaverasGrande - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkonly the 24tb version is using the 6tb drives.
So what is the excuse for the high price on the lower capacity models?
There is no bleeding edge tech to TB2 that makes it more expensive than TB1.
Even firewire was never this expensive.
I think these products seek to capitalize on Mac Pro users that use FCP X, Avid or Premiere to edit content. The post and broadcast market is used to overpaying for products. Reply
Haravikk - Monday, April 21, 2014 - linkWhat irks me are the number of products that are only available with disks included as well; while I'm sure a diskless version would be stupidly expensive too, they're adding pretty huge markups onto the disks they give you as well.
It's not even as if the performance is all that great; maybe it'd be better with SSDs swapped in, but in reality a lot of these devices are using seriously bad RAID controllers too.
Things are better in the wider RAID storage world, but even so I've opted to build my own RAID box. I had intended to use a Thunderbolt adapter but annoyingly the company that made them (DATOptic) has stopped selling them. This leaves me stuck with USB3 or an expensive Thunderbolt to eSATA hub ($200 for a piece of crap hub with a cheap external power supply), not a great situation to be in. At least with my choice of RAID controller the disadvantages of USB3 aren't quite so bad, still not ideal though. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkThunderbolt 2 is still around? Intel, give it a rest. Just let it die. By the time it might matter to much of anyone, ePCIe will be here. Reply
hpglow - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkIntel needs to just open the standard up and lower or remove licensing costs. Intel was a part of the original USB spec so they should know how to get products out there. I think intel is trying to keep TB in high end devices or they won't budge on its margins. Reply
StevenXMay - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkBasically the only people with Thunderbolt functionality are Mac owners, who are accustomed to paying very healthy margins for their hardware. It's extremely high-quality hardware, no doubt, but the margins on it are high. http://s6x.it/l521 Reply
CalaverasGrande - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkWe have several Asus Laptops we use for location shoots that have TB.
There are also a few PC motherboards out there from Gigabyte and Asus. Reply
MojaMonkey - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkThere's no windows laptops with thunderbolt 2 currently afaik?
Have you heard of any being announced? Reply
toyotabedzrock - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkIt seems funny how the Mac Pro looks like a trash can and gtech went and designed their storage to also resemble a trash can. Reply
etamin - Saturday, April 12, 2014 - linkyeah no kidding, flip up lid and all. Reply
Subyman - Sunday, April 13, 2014 - linkI came to see crazy prices and I was not disappointed. USB3.0 is fine for me. I'm glad I'm not in the situation of needing a lot of external storage nor have to access the information in real-time for work. Reply
RagnarKon - Sunday, April 13, 2014 - linkWell if that G-tech product isn't an obvious nod to users of the new Mac Pro, then I dunno what is.
Anyway, use Thunderbolt products on my Macbook Pro at work and love it. Only reason why I haven't bought my own Thunderbolt peripherals is because is because the price point for entry hardware on the Windows side is still too high. Just can't swallow the $400 for the Gigabyte motherboard with TB2 ports.
I know Intel intended Thunderbolt to be the high-end peripheral connection. But price of these products makes me feel like Intel is charging an unreasonably high licensing fee. Reply

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1865 — Viseu de Sus, Romania
Josef was born to Yiddish-speaking, religious Jewish parents in the town of Viseu de Sus in Transylvania, a region of Romania that belonged to Hungary until 1918. In 1890 he married Emma Geisler from the nearby town of Bistrita. The couple had four children and after 1910 the family lived at #4 Hid Street in Viseu de Sus. Josef was a merchant who owned a stall in Viseu de Sus's public market.
1933-39: By 1939 two of Josef's grown sons had moved to the Hungarian capital of Budapest. Josef and his wife remained in Viseu de Sus, a rustic, multi-ethnic town under Romanian rule. They lived near their eldest daughter, Schneidel, and their son Ferenc.
1940-44: The Hungarians marched into Viseu de Sus in September 1940 and annexed it to Hungary. Hungary became an ally of Nazi Germany. New laws were instituted limiting the rights of Jews. Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944, and a month later the Deutsch family was moved into a ghetto established by Hungarian officials for the Jews of Viseu de Sus and surrounding communities.
Josef and his family were among the 8,000 Jews deported from Viseu de Sus to Auschwitz in May 1944. Upon arrival, Josef was gassed. He was 79.

Hero H2000 Review: iPhone 5 Կրկնօրինակեք է MT6577 Android Dual Core 4.0
Hero H2000+ is another iPhone 5 Clone. On the outside, its really hard to tell if its a real iPhone 5 or not with its size and other details on the design, but on the inside its a dual-core MT6577 Android 4.0 ICS device.
I just noticed that this one had become one of the hot-selling iPhone 5 clone on Fastcardtech. It is currently priced at $169.99 with free shipping, so its really a tempting buy. Լավ, lets take out this phone for a specs review.
Brief, է Hero H2000 is an Android 4.0 device with a MTK6577 dual core CPU. It has 3G and GPS support. Այն ունի 4.0 դյույմ էկրան, just like the new iPhone 5 and a 8.0MP camera.
The Hero H2000 runs on Android 4.0.4 ICS out of the box. It supports many languages. FCT allows request for language pre-setup on the ordered devices, so in case you are getting this device from them, you can always tell them what language you want to have on pre-set out of the box. It has 3G/WCDMA support and is totally unlocked for use on any GSM carriers in the world
Even if it runs on Android OS, է Hero H2000 have an iOS-like UI. But it still have the 3-screen buttons on ICS. I bet this is just a launcher, so you are still able to customize the Hero H2000 on your preferences.
The Hero H2000 sports a dual-core MT6577 CPU clocked at 1GHz, a very fast performer. It is capable of HD gaming and high quality multimedia playback as well.
It has 4GB ROM so expect a 2.5GB of usable internal storage memory. It is still expandable with a micro SD card of up to 32GB maximum capacity. It has a normal 512MB RAM which is pretty much more than sufficiently enough for seamless multi-tasking.
Just like the real iPhone 5, Սա մեկն է 4.0 inches screen as well. Այն ունի 800*480 pixels of display resolution, not too much to boast but its pretty much not bad at all considering its price tag.
Just like the norm, it has 8.0megapixels main camera and a corresponding 0.3mp secondary snapper. It has flash and auto-focus. Good thing to note is, these snappers are on the same position as the new iPhone 5's camera lenses.
It has a native FM radio receiver which is not present on the iPhone. It is also a Dual SIM device, heck another thing the iPhone doesn't have. It has wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, եւ այլն. –well, other stuff are just the same with most Android 4.0 and MT6577 devices. To know more about the specs of the Hero H2000 , click here.

Get this hot-selling phone before the stock runs out!

TokyoMilk lip balm
I personally love all of the Tokyo Milk products, in all of their cute scents and designs. The Cherry Bomb bon bon lip balm appears to be the most popular (and cheapest), perhaps due to it's convenient little size. The quality is fantastic, from the snazzy box, to the actual product. It's available most everywhere, and I personally think it is an awesome buy.

Newcastle under Lyme
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"In Soviet Russia, Newcastle under Lyme lives in YOU!!"
"What's the difference between Newcastle-under-Lyme and three dead babies? I've never entered Newcastle-under-Lyme."
Whenever the word "Newcastle" is mentioned, the mind immediately wanders towards the Northern delight of Geordieland; however, in all of our hearts reigns the Newcastle situated in the West Midlands; the "t'other Newcastle". For years there have been speculations over why there are two places both entitled Newcastle and the truth has finally come about.
edit Foundation and Early Years
It is thought that centuries ago, two brothers of the surname Newcastle resided somewhere around Leeds; both dreamed of a new town which together they would run for those who also pictured a better life. However, siblings as they were, naturally they disagreed on the details of the plan. One wished to trek further north, so north, in fact, that he could pretend to not be in England at all. The other brother, though, wished to be a real part of England, somewhere which wasn't too far from the other areas and so in an understanding that they would never agree, both brothers set off to form their own separate towns. The one thing that the brothers had agreed on was that placing their town next to a river would be the ideal setting so the first brother found the river Tyne and built a city upon it; he fulfilled his aim that they were practically not in England, the citizens even having their own dialect.
The second brother; however, unable to find a river, invented the "Lyme" and set his town, unusually, beneath it. Determined as he was to build his town towards the middle of the country, he foolishly overlooked any other desires that his town's citizens would need and so his town resided a little too close for comfort to the city of Stoke-on-Trent and so his town became the "forgotten Newcastle" if for no other reason that people feared that to remember it would be almost as bad as to revisit it.
Newcastle-under-Lyme began as a haven for the richer and more educated population of Stoke-on-Trent (which isn't saying much). Basically, an overgrown cesspit, the town would look like a complete shit hole had someone not stuck it next door to Stoke. The town enabled them to continue to live in the area that they were publicly ashamed of, yet have an alternative postal address for weekends away.
The Town was founded upon a doctrine of false wealth, and boasts a public/independent school and a slightly more upmarket cinema than the Odeon Cinema three miles away in Hanley. Today the town has been corrupted by what the old elites have ironically dubbed the 'intelligensia' (a term coined by Lord Peter Cash, well respected local legend and man with a great passion for children) or chavs as the rest of the population would call them. The terming of the chavs as 'the intelligensia' is yet another shroud for Newcastillians to refer to these unsavoury peoples in conversation with members of the outside world.
edit Geography
The population of the town has grown considerably in the last decade, with census statistics listing the residential population of the town as over 500,000. However, the actual population figure is nearer 29,000. This anomaly is due to the growing desire for the 'new rich' of Stoke-on-Trent to be associated with the less well-known town. As yet, Newcastle-under-Lyme does not appear on any maps, although it is rumoured to be situated somewhere near the cheap Chinese on the London Road - a small team of cartographers are due to conduct a survey in due course to add clarity to this assumption.
The town is divided into two by Alterrac Valley (affectionately known by locals as the Westlands) and Mount Pleasant. On one side live the rich who look down at the poor of Stoke, and on Mount Pleasant reside the Philosopher Kings who are forced to limit their existence to bigoted whining and provision skirmishes to the local Morrisons.
A campaign to link the town by road and other transport links, called 'There and back again' is beginning to gather momentum in the area.
edit Famous Faces and Local Lore
Appart from the aformentioned Lord Cash, there have been three major celebrities throughout the history of the town. Lord Lucan currently resides in Newcastle-under-Lyme just across from Boots, where he has happily lived for many years with his wife and five children. There are weekly parades in his honour; however, attendance is poor, and nobody outside the town cares or is informed of these events. Perhaps the most major contributor to the life of the town is Joe Soaps. His squeaky clean personality and constant smile provided many a smile to motorists and swimmers alike. Unfortunately, due to facial fatigue, Mr. Soaps retired giving up his throne of most celebrated individual to Lord Summerisle who currently takes charge of the town's annual barbecue, and owns the town's chain of wicker furniture stores.
edit Newcastle Culture and food
The local cuisine is a very fragmented agenda that can leave the sternest of hero's mumbling into their cup of tea. It is said that seventeen enslaved males from the surrounding landfill site known as stoke on trent deliver overpriced and undercooked oatcakes for the pleasure of his lordship reciding in a tomb underneath St Giles' church. These enslaved men, originating from the treasured terraced houses - a marked upgrade from the usual mud huts or humble 'hole-in-the-ground' - of the nearby dump almost never make it back, unless bargaining with undoubtably stolen dairy products and haribo fangtastics when the mood strikes.
Culture around Newcastle is very varied, with the cinema showing peak practice repeats and Wilkinsons selling only the finest gardening tools, which will be used in guerrilla warfare against coalition peacekeeprs in the summer months when the former invades their 'patch'. The market sells a variety of worthless shit that never seems to sell, yet the 'stallers' can somewhat unfortunatley still make a living.
A great many tend to migrate from southern areas to Newcastle on Saturdays, prompting scholars to ask the question; why would anyone want to come to Newcastle on Saturdays?
edit Bear-bating
Bear bating is the slang term for an activitey that may involve hunting youths in and around the streets of newcastle. This is a vary popular sport, especially around the summer when bear-baters can use pick up trucks to pursue the youths on the plains of 'upper' lyme-valley. This is often done with many angry disgruntled men in the back with pitchforks and rifles. Police tend to spectate the sport, often placing major bets on different bear baters. The most valuable hunts are shown below.
From most valuable to least valuable but still pretty valuable:
- Americans
- The Stonish
- Chavs
- Andy McNab
- Santa's Elves
- Skaters under 1m tall
- Scottish football fans
- Plants
- I can't believe it's not butter
edit Fun Facts about Newcastle-under-Lyme
- It is the only town known to exist outside the Matrix, but unlike Zion no-one cares and it is thus untroubled.
- It is the only town whose clock chimes midnight at 11.20am.

>Racing>Sub-90 Minutes for the Half Marathon (2012)
hairshirt knitter
Well done Chris - nice one! That's a great time, and a fantastic result overall.
Not for me today, on this very scenic course. I'll take the recent best 1:31:37, but this was a hilly course and not for especially fast times. Only 18 people out of 534 went under 1:30, and my time was good for 26th overall. Oh well, going to have to leave it for 2013 now!
Gun Time: 1:35:28Chip Time: 1:34:5610K Split: 44:10
Hit the 10K mat and just slowwwwwwwwwwed. Going to incorporate some more 5K and 10K races (which I like MUCH better anyway!) before the next attempt in spring 2013. ONWARDS!
Outstanding race! I looked at your log and was instantly impressed by the tremendous summer of training you had. Very happy to see it translate into a huge result. Hard work pays off! Congrats!
Just had a quick look on the UK rankings and this puts me around 30th place in the country for M60 age group.

Go George! Go CNY! And I'll actually be there to hopefully get an IRL report.
Go George! Go CNY!

Go George! Go CNY! And I'll actually be there to hopefully get an IRL report.
Thanks. And yeah, Gville's going to run back to back sub 1:30 halfs Sunday.
Thanks! Taking another swing at it and excited to do so---or crazy, or both.
Go George and yes, Go Kevin!
Perfect day for racing in Lowell and even ran a PR and got closer, BUT this isn't Horseshoes or Hand Grenades and almost doesn't cut it.
1:31:33 1/78 in the 45-49 age group----happy about the age group placement although the awards listing has me inexplicably in 2nd behind someone who ran 23 minutes slower than I did. Hey! It's correct on the overall listing, so whatever. But hey! I want my swag!
Not sure what it is with me and **&%##$$ 1:31 Three years in a row now and at an October half-marathon, I ran a 1:31:33
I usually go out too fast, so kept telling myself to relax in the first mile and maybe I did that too much---7:20 for my first mile. I looked down as we passed the marker and saw that on my watch and thought Oh S...t! I had gone out at the Dutchess County Classic in 6:36. Oops! So I tried to stay calm and focused on getting to mile 4 at 28:37 and then 9 miles at 1:01:34----actual: 4 miles was 27:35, 9 miles----forgot to look and then 10 miles at 1:08:58 ( a 10 mile PR...heh)....so I got excited again and said...okay, just a 5k....Do this! Not sure where that minute or so went, but there it is...another 1:31---most tactics were okay----carried my own water, cut the tangents, didn't freak on the little inclines and flew down the other sides like a child with abandon. I zoned out a bit in mile 5 and mile 9 and that was dumb....and I didn't mix up the paces well. I get into a pace groove and need to surge and kick. I feel like a high schooler again trying to get down below 2:30 in the 800---once I did, I ran 2:18-2:21, but dang it took forever. Time for some more fast-finish workouts and maybe hire someone to pace me from mile 10-13...any takers?
Anyway, happy with the 81st place overall and the ever so slight PR by seconds.
Two more 2012 chances:
November 25 Wolf Hollow 1/2 marathon in NH
December 9 Holiday 1/2 marathon in CA (have to be there for work, so why not?!)
I'd really like to graduate, but the pursuit is fun too.
George!? How did it go? Where you wearing a Swamp singlet and neon-green flats? If so, I think I saw you.
Never mind...figured it out. .... Excellent!
Kevin?! Nice work and a BQ! You'll get the sub 3:00 I am sure.
Nice run, CNY.
George did great, but he can make it official for the thread.
I managed, one sub 90 half, but kinda blew up after 20 miles. Run and learn...definitely a beautiful day though.
I'll put those two on the calendar for you. Keep it up!
George!? How did it go? Where you wearing a Swamp singlet and neon-green flats? If so, I think I saw you.
That was me. You likely saw me because you likely passed me.
That was me. You likely saw me because you likely passed me.
Hey L Train....yeah, figured as much and sorry I didn't know to say anything...not that I could force words out of my mouth anyway. You did block the breeze for me for a bit in the early miles, so thank you....I barely clear 5' 2" and running amidst tall folks is quite helpful. Live to fight another day for both of us, eh?

Well, yeah, I do want you to unlearn that because you learned it wrong. What you can't have with a genitive construction is two definite articles. If both nouns are definite, the article will come between them. If only the first is, the article comes before that. If the second noun is definite but not the first, then you need to use an alternative construction.

Owensboro BBQ Gets Shout Out On Top Chef Texas [VIDEO]
When I was watching Top Chef Texas this week, I was a little tired. I had already turned out all the lights and the gleaming of the TV was all that was left. By the way, Top Chef is a great show and it is currently in its ninth season. And for the first time ever, Kentucky is represented in the competition.

The children lined up against the fences, as their teammates stepped up to the plate, kicking dirt up in the batter's box.
The umpires, chanted the two words that gear people up for baseball, "Play Ball."
Regardless of who won, all of the children got to play and the parents and attendees experienced a day full of games on three fields in the park.
By Chuck Moore, Critteden
There is something special about taking your children hunting. So much so that it can bring a tear to a hunter's eyes. The chance to share the love of the outdoors and to pass tradition creates strong emotional bonds between parents who hunt and their children. It has been said that getting a child active in the outdoors keeps them out of trouble; I could not agree more.
When Tabatha Clemons became involved with Girls on the Run in Grant County, she imagined a large number of young girls getting involved with running and learning some life lessons along the way.
Sherman Elementary and Crittenden-Mt. Zion Elementary were the first schools to jump on board last spring.
Clemons, the Grant County Parks and Recreation director, said the program became popular after the spring season and when Williamstown, Dry Ridge and Mason-Corinth Elementaries came on board.

Tina Fey + More Stars Spotted at L'Oreal Paris' 'Because You're Worth It' Party
A ton of celebs had a blast at the L'Oreal Paris 40th anniversary celebration.
-Heather Taylor
Movie star and TV star Andie McDowell co-hosted with her daughter, Miss Golden Globe 2012 Rainey Qualley, at L'Oreal Paris' star-studded cocktail party. Attendees included Tina Fey, Joey Maalouf, and more this past Saturday at the ultra glam Four Seasons hotel in chi-chi Beverly Hills. The party commemorated the 40th anniversary of L'Oreal Paris's famous "Because You're Worth It" slogan. Did you know that Andie's been a brand spokesmodel for 25 years now? Wow!
The night gave tribute to all the ladies (and gents!) who represent what being worth it is all about; it also showcased some of L'Oreal's hottest products for spring.
One of the biggest accessories is designed to make color addicts everywhere rejoice with the launch of the new L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Collection. Available in 42 high-wattage shine shades to suit the personalities of women everywhere, Colour Riche Nail has four unique "mood families" including Iconic Muse, Femme Fatale, Hopeless Romantic, and Trend Setter. Watch out for the Trend Setter ladies- six shades within its collection will be updated every six months!
In honor of the slogan turning 40, L'Oreal decided to turn it into a nail polish! Every guest that evening received a complimentary swag bag that included the new nail shade "Because You're Worth It," a subtle gold with a light shimmer that's pitch perfect for awards season.
More fabulous freebies (I know, right? I felt like the luckiest girl in the world!) included shampoo, hairspray, and cleansing conditioner from the new Ever Style collection which is the first ever 100 percent alcohol free styling product line from L'Oreal.
Read Golden Globe 2012 Beauty: Sofia Vergara, Kate Winslet, Frida Pinto + More
What does styling hair without an alcohol-based product mean exactly? I turned to a pro for the answers, L'Oreal spokesman and official hairstylist Johnny Lavoy, "What the Ever Style line does is it keeps from having your hair dry out. I love the volume root lifting spray especially because you can use it on dry hair if you're in a hurry. Spray it directly on your roots for volume, blow it out and it will completely change the style in a flash!"
So what can we expect to see in big hair trends this year at the awards shows? "Movies like The Help and My Week with Marilyn are really inspiring modern versions of throwbacks to old Hollywood. There will be lots of '60s hairstyles that focus on smoothness and bigger hair on the red carpet."
Even though the night was filled with stars, the must-see to rub elbows with was the "Wall of Worth" with celebrity signatures! Allow me to back up and explain: the Wall of Worth is a huge framed print of L'Oreal's slogan written in as many global languages as could fit onto the space. Throughout the entire night, the wall was ever-changing with scrawled John Hancocks from stars including Tina Fey, Entourage star (Mrs. Ari) Perrey Reeves, Hannah Simone from New Girl and Joey Maalouf from The Rachel Zoe Project. I was even invited to pen my name up there, too – nothing ever made me feel more "worth it" quite like that moment!

I am obviously doing something not quite right here.
I am trying to colour a sentence with a shade of red.
If I have in the syle sheet
h1 {color:#ffffff; font-size: 19px; font-weight:bold;font-style:italic; text-align:center;}
p2 {color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;font-weight:bold;}
h2 {color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;}
p3 {color:#000080; text-decoration:none;}
And this in the HTML <p2>C5D: (Certificates in 5 Days)</p2>
It all works fine.
If on the other hand I use p.2 etcand
C5D: (Certificates in 5 Days)

It doesn't work
What am I doing wrong ?
The stylesheet is www.c5d.co.uk/c5dstyle.css and the web page is www.c5d.co.uk/scotland.php
You would have to do this:
.two{color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;font-weight:bold;}

C5D: (Certificates in 5 Days)

The reason being that a CSS class name may only begin with an underscore (_), a dash (-), or a letter(a–z).These may be followed by any number of dashes, underscores, letters, or numbers.
Please also note that the following is not valid mark-up and won't work in older browsers, such as IE7 or IE8:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>This will work in modern browsers, but isn't valid markup</title>

<p2>C5D: (Certificates in 5 Days)</p2>
In addition to what Pullo said:
classes in a stylesheet MUST begin with a "."
failclass{ color: pink;}
.realclass{ color: pink;}
you wont be able to apply "failclass" to an element as the parser considers it an element ( albeit undefined, and I'll touch on that in a minute), but "realcass" will apply to any element that has that string n the class attribute
...
.
H1 -H6, of course are Headings... not classes. but P1, p2,etc do not actually exist in HTML. UAs go ahead an create the tags anyway and some even allow the tags to be styled via CSS. This doesnt mean that it is valid markup!!! So no creating tags willy-nilly.
Takeaway:In a stylesheet:
. begins classes , eg.: .myClass, .clear, .storynot having either will make the parser assume you are targeting a tag, eg.: h1,h2,p,divyou CANNOT start classes, IDs or tag names with numbers !!
Hope that helps
Thanks for the two replies, I shall give them a shot.
In all the web tutorials, I have never seen that the classes can't begin with a number !
If I knew what UAs were, that bit might help me more
Some browsers would still work if you used numbers, although it's against the spec.
If I knew what UAs were, that bit might help me more
UA = user-agent. That's just another way of saying "browser or equivalent", which also encompasses robots (like Googlebot) and accessibility technology.
UA = user-agent. That's just another way of saying "browser or equivalent", which also encompasses robots (like Googlebot) and accessibility technology.
This is working fine apart from one thing.
As p.three is a link, the stylesheet colour for links overrides the colour in the p.three element.
How do I make p.three stay blue.
This doesn't seem to work
p.three:link {color:#000080;}p.three:visited {color:#000080;}p.three:hover {color:#ffffff;}p.three:active {color:#000080;}
With this HTML
Order Censuses

The link stays black
p.three will only style a
 element with a class of ".three"Try:
p.three a:link {color:red;}

Order Censuses

instead, which will style all links found with a
 element with the class of ".three"
I did think that this had worked but what has happened is that all of the links turn blue.
Have I done it wrong ?
body { background: #708090; font color: black; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 15px; font-family: New Century Schoolbook", Times, serif; }table,th,td{font-weight:bold;} h1{color:#ffffff; font-size: 19px; font-weight:bold;font-style:italic; text-align:center;} p.two {color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;font-weight:bold;} h2 {color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;} p.three {color:#000080; text-decoration:none;a:link {color:#000080}a { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; }
The web page is at www.c5d.co.uk/homepage.php
A small typo in your CSS.
Change this:
body {background: #708090; font color: black; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 15px; font-family: New Century Schoolbook", Times, serif;}
To this:
body {background: #708090; color: black; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 15px; font-family: "New Century Schoolbook", Times, serif;}
I have tried that. I copied and pasted your CSS but still all the links are blue and not just the order form which is like this in the html
Secure Order Form
Other links are like this Ninth Field Services
There do seem to have been two other unintended changes effected as well.
1) The navigation bar has been lost and the drop dow menus are like islands on their own and
2) the copyright years have disappeared.
In the CSS I have
p.copy:after { content: " 1999-2012" }
And the html reads
Apr 1/2

Hi there,
Can you tell me what you are using to create your site?I notice that it is in PHP.Are you hand coding it, or are you using a CMS?
I just ran your site through the W3C Validator, which finds 286 errors in your code.http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.c5d.co.uk%2Fhomepage.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
We really need to make sure that the HTML is ok first, then we can sort out the CSS.
So, my question is: what are you using to create your site and how much of it can you change?
Edit: I can help you fix all of this, but it's no good if you then cannot use my changes because half of the code is being automatically generated.
It is all hand done.
If we can solve the CSS. I can do most of the rest
If you look at www.c5d.co.uk/censusentries.php there are no mark up errors, but the link to sterling payment service remains blue, not black
body {background: #708090; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 15px; font-family: "New Century Schoolbook", Times, serif;}
h1{color:#ffffff; font-size: 19px; font-weight:bold;font-style:italic; text-align:center;}
p.two {color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;font-weight:bold;a:link {color:#cd0000;}}
h2 {color:#cd0000; font-size: 15px;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;}
p.three {color:#000080; text-decoration:none; a:link {color:#000080;}
a:hover {

One of those bands that most people have never heard of. I had two of their CDS, lost them in a move and then picked up their greatest hits about a year ago. Great stuff. "I have a dream, Ive seen the light Dont put it out, say shes alright, yeah,The Stone Roses, "I Want to be Adored."
shes my sister."
Some things that have been in and out of my CD player the past week:
System of a Down - The screaming vocals and driving music mixed with some of the best pop hooks around make for something very cool. And tough to describe to anyone.
Springsteen: Devils and Dust
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor - this one hasn't caught on with me yet, but it will.
Coldplay: X & Y. Shouldn't like them but I do. Hopefully another generation's U2 - I don't mind being too old for great music.
Can't forget Manchester in the eighties.One of those bands that most people have never heard of.
I agree.Originally Posted by Dom Heffner
I've been listening to 30 Seconds to Mars a LOT lately (new album comes out Aug. 16!!), and I throw in the new Better than Ezra when I need a break from 30STM.
Hide your power alleys; Hide your wife
And for those folks in Clermont and Brown counties, Better than Ezra is the same band you know as "Gooder than Ezra."I throw in the new Better than Ezra when I need a break from 30ST.
Oh relax. I lived there myself.
Bob Marley's "Natty Dread" is playing now, off the "Songs of Freedom" box set.
If you do not own the "Songs of Freedom" box set, go get it now. I'll wait here.
EDIT: And in a strange coincidence, as I was typing the above, another Stone Roses song cycled on. Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo.
Makes all the routine posts.
LVJ, that album is awesome.
I like "I want to be adored" too
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
I've been listening to the new The National album, Alligator. It's pretty good.
You can hear it in it's entirety here:
Also if you feel in the mood for something really "out there", check out Antony and the Johnsons. Basically, Antony is a tranvestite caberet singer with a pretty good sized cult following. He even got Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Devendra Banhart to help out on his new album. Here is an mp3:

And, like you said 'Second COming" is highly underrated. Wonder what this band woul dhave done had they stayed together. 'Course now John Squire and Ian brown hate each other, so fat chance of that. And mani's been working with primal Scream.
Ah well. They were good though.

Q & A — August 2003
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Electric Health
| The correct way to read a hydrometer, a cure for cavitation erosion, and more.
What is the proper
technique for testing a battery with a hydrometer?
B. L., via e-mail
Before testing, make sure the battery is fully charged and the electrolyte is at the proper level. If you must recharge, wait at least 30 minutes before taking the first reading. A deeply discharged battery's electrolyte is not mixed well and will not be so until the battery begins to reach full charge (which, because of the electrolyte condition, takes a long time) and starts to gas. If you must add liquid before charging, make sure it is only distilled water, as other water most likely contains minerals and impurities that may prevent the electrochemical reaction from reaching its full potential.
Draw enough electrolyte into the hydrometer barrel to allow the calibrated float to ride freely. Then read the specific gravity where the surface of the liquid comes in contact with the scale, allowing for the curvature of the liquid against the glass parts. Note the value, and squeeze the electrolyte back into the same cell from which it was drawn. Repeat this for each cell. The readings among each cell should not have a difference of more than .050. If they do, you will have to replace the battery.
When you're finished with the hydrometer, rinse it with fresh water to flush out any electrolyte that may be left in the tube.
During a recent haul-out,
I noticed the trailing edge of my props seemed to be in the throes of
some sort of corrosion. All my zincs seem fine. What could be the problem?
T. R., via e-mail
Usually this is caused by a blunt or squared front edge and is more often than not the result of a nick or dent. Rounding that edge out can cure this. If there's not too much damage, your local prop shop can easily recondition your wheels with a file or sander.

SMWC celebrates 40 years of distance education with yearlong celebrations in 2013
November 9th, 2012 | SMWC
The year was 1973 – the Vietnam War was still going on, the Watergate hearings began, and a small women's college in the Midwest challenged the traditional path of higher education. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC), the second college in the nation to offer a distance bachelor's program, will honor this 40-year milestone with special events, publications and celebrations all throughout 2013.
As the economic and social liberty of women grew in the 60s and 70s, leaders at SMWC saw a need permeating throughout society. Women were putting in solid hours at work, while also raising children and caring for their families. They needed and wanted a higher education, but many just couldn't find the time. This changing society gave birth to a revolutionary idea in college education – SMWC's Women's External Degree program (WED).
"We knew there had to be a way to educate women out there who can't go to college in a traditional way," said Jeanne Knoerle, SP, '49, former president of SMWC and founder of the distance program. "I think we opened the door to a college degree for women who thought they could never have one."
Maintaining its signature forward momentum, WED became the Woods External Degree program, when it admitted its first male student in 2005. The campus program, however, continued its commitment to women. Then, in 2011, WED merged with the College's accelerated online program to form Woods Online, solidifying SMWC's tradition of innovation.
"We continue to look for new and creative ways to deliver our programs at a distance," SMWC President Dottie L. King, Ph.D., said. "With 40 years of experience on the table, other colleges and universities look to us as a model in distance education."
The College's success in online education comes from having a brick and mortar institution to add credibility to the distance program. The same professors who teach in the campus program also teach the distance courses. "We place a large emphasis on mirroring what we do on campus in our distance program," King said. "Our success comes from a blend of cutting-edge technology and meaningful faculty interaction. We're high tech and high touch."
With thousands of graduates from Woods Online, this personal connection is even more remarkable. In August 2012, the Indianapolis Business Journal recognized SMWC as having one of the largest online degree program in the state. More than 800 students are currently enrolled in the program from 33 states and all across the globe, including England, Greece, Hong Kong and Jamaica.
The College has always conducted profound program evaluations, ensuring the distance program remains relevant. Throughout the past 40 years SMWC has maintained its position as a leader in distance education by:
- Providing online peer tutoring to distance students.
- Encouraging personal contact with professors and advisors.
- Converting life experiences into college credit.
- Advising and placing distance students in internships.
- Offering 8-week and 16-week formats.
- Creating flexible, student-centered courses.
- Offering scholarships and programs specially designed for military members and their families.
- Including online students in significant College traditions, such as Ring Day.
- Teaching more than 25 majors and 15 minors.
"Our approach to distance education is truly one-of-kind," King said. "We aren't a degree mill; we support our distance students academically, emotionally and mentally. We're pioneers in distance education and we are determined to stay on the front end."
Stay tuned for more information about SMWC's 40 Years of Distance Education celebrations. To learn more about opportunities available through Woods Online visit the Woods Online website.

COLUMBUS GROVE — Standing side-by-side four men from Columbus Grove
Christian Church labeled themselves as "the flippers." They aren't
contestants in the snowboarding halfpipe competition. These men are
pancake flippers for the annual pancake meal at the church. The group is
headed by Jim Doty.
Last year the men, who are trustees at the
church, helped flip all-you-can-eat pancakes for over 800 people. The
church trustees said they are expecting that many this year including
athletes from Columbus Grove fall and winter sports. Each year The Union
Bank and Columbus Grove Lions Club pay for the tickets for these
students to attend the event.
"The Union Bank also allows us to
use their parking lot during the event," said trustee Bill Hofferbert.
"We really appreciate that."
Bart Mills, marketing officer for The
Union Bank, said hosting the athletes at the supper is a way for the
bank to give back to the community.
The pancake supper is at the
church at 105 S. Broadway, Columbus Grove, Thursday, Feb. 27, from 4:30
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Cost for the tickets are $6.50 pre-sale and $7 at the
window. Children 6-12 years old can eat for $4 and under six is free.
Carry-outs are also available.
Tickets are available by calling the church. Proceeds from the pancake supper are used for church expenses and purchases.

A9 TV, 4 April 2
Love and affection toward and being concerned for and interested in our old people are of the greatest importance. It is vitally important not to huff and puff or even give the slightest hint of doing so. This is an important commandment of the Qur'an. Allah says this of one's parents, not other people. The Qur'an refers to our old people. "Whether one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say 'Ugh!' to them out of irritation and do not be harsh with them but speak to them with gentleness and generosity." What did our Sheikh Nazım do? He raised millions of people with enormous hard work. Now what is our duty? To look after him in the finest way in his old age. To ensure his every day is happy and joyful. He is already happy and joyful with faith and the Qur'an, but as his children we have a responsibility to ensure peace and calm for him. We have a duty to ensure his happiness, joy and good health. Allah makes us His instruments, thanks be to Allah. And that is also a source of joy for us.
Leftist young people have great self-pride. They dedicate their lives to their ideal. I feel rather sorry for them. Of course their ultimate ideals are great – peace and social justice. But before that there is that red dictatorship, the dictatorship of the proletariat, bloodshed and anarchy. So there will be no-one left on the road to peace they go down. They will already have killed off everyone they should have allowed to live and made happy. The world ceases to exist. It is like cutting off the patient's head in order to treat him. He dies while you are trying to transplant a better head onto him.
The founders of communism made a huge mistake. They based it on Darwinism. How can you vase such a philosophy on such a rotten system as Darwinism? They never imagined such a thing. That is why leftist young people have been so humiliated and shamed. They dedicate their lives to it and act very seriously, but Darwinism is a disgrace. Utterly humiliating. You see how they suffer and roll around in agony. There used to be no way of responding to this. They built a system that could not be criticized. Most religious people were afraid of Darwinism. People fear what they do not know. We can see that if I had not been around they would have steamrollered right over them.
The state of mind stemming from that weakness and defeatism, plus the desire to do something heroic, means they can only struggle at home. That is a really odd state of mind. Not one of them gets involved in such arguments. One strange thing about the Left is that Allah has ordained they should be terrified of us. They are hypnotized and tongue-tied. Allah creates all things, and this has nothing to do with my having any power. Allah produces this state of affairs in order to show people the difference.
There is also this weakness when it comes to discussing the End Times and the way of the Mahdi. That is why they never mention Islamic Union. Because they themselves fear the Islam they espouse. It makes them themselves uneasy. They are reluctant to talk about it because they know the other person will not believe them. But after I insisted on the matter and told them all how "Bediuzzaman says this or that," some of them have very gradually and hesitantly begun talking about Islamic Union. They have drawn strength from me. But their words reflect a rigidity, a weakness of faith, powerlessness, lack of self-confidence and a vagueness and lack of clarity. Their systems are built only on possibilities, in other words. That is probably so they can withdraw in the face of an attack. But we must show them affection. The situation in annoying, but also calls for compassion. Feelings of compassion weigh heavier with me, but they are unable to see the blessing that Allah bestows on them.
The advocates of intelligent design appeared. I imagined they might be going to say something worth hearing. We spoke, and what they say is I am an atheist but I also believe in intelligent design. You see the system produced by defeatism and a sense of inferiority? They say the majority of them are atheists. They were so terrified of Darwinists that they came up with that kind of language and imagined they could establish a self-defense system on that basis. Atheists or Marxists or communists could say, "You are conservative" or something like that. What would they say then? They will say they are atheists. They have developed a most flawed logic. Their words are weak and lack any self-confidence.
American creationists are figures of fun for Europeans. They used to ride right over them. They said the Earth is just 6000 years old. The age of fossils can be determined now using radiocarbon dating and other techniques. Advocates of intelligent design are very weak and lacking in faith. That is why Darwinists were able to blow them away. The others are just figures of fun to them. Christians have also hidden behind me and constantly hand my books out. They have been steamrollered, and there is nothing they can do for themselves.
One must see the extraordinary nature of the way of the antichrist. No prime minister anywhere in the world can stand up and say, "This is wrong." None of them can say, "Allah created, and Darwinism is a fraud." A mighty dictatorship has imposed its will on the world. No American presidents have been able to say that. That is out of the question, banned. They are all afraid.2012-04-25 14:56:51

Did you know?
Symbolic padrãos (large stone crosses) were erected at Cape Point to honour Portuguese explorers of the 1400s.
As you stand at the very tip of the long crooked Cape Peninsula, part of the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area, it feels as if you are inhaling air freshly blown at you from the icy Antarctic.
Below you, on either side of the peninsula, waves are breaking on a rugged shore. It is all too easy to imagine that on one side is the frigid Atlantic and the other marks the end point of the warm Indian Ocean. In fact, the two inter-mingle all along a vastly greater area, the entire southern coastline of South Africa.
Still, there is no denying the drama of the spectacle. Also, the diversity of marine life here is extraordinary, matching that onshore. The marine park contains 43% of the all the species along South Africa's coast, making it something of an undersea biodiversity hotspot.
The Table Mountain National Park MPA stretches all around the Cape Peninsula, from Mouille Point near Cape Town's centre all the way around to Muizenberg in False Bay. It includes rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, a lobster sanctuary, and a number of 'no-take' zones that act as nurseries for over-exploited fish species.
Wandering along the tip of the Cape Peninsula is a highly intelligent tribe of baboons that spends a large amount of time consuming seafood – mussels, washed up shark eggs and other edible flotsam and jetsam. Primatologists have argued that thanks to their seafood diet, these baboons seem brighter than others living off less nutritious foods.
The Table Mountain National Park MPA offers a high degree of interaction with this incredible seascape. You can surf here, scuba dive and snorkel (bearing in mind the water is icy), kayak, whale-watch and kite-surf. The park itself is well worth exploring with its craggy mountains full of windswept floral beauty.
Just bear in mind those very clever seafood-eating baboons and don't leave your car open as you step outside to admire the scenery.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
How to get here
From Cape Town's centre, head towards Muizenberg (about half an hour's drive) and carry on south towards Simon's Town. You'll soon enter the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park. The Table Mountain Park Marine Protected Area will be all around you.
Best time to visit
This area is dramatic any time of year, but the fynbos is in full flower between September and November.
Around the area
You can see (and visit) South Africa's tallest cast-iron lighthouse at Slangkop, at Kommetjie.
Length of stay
This is a delightful destination for a half or full day. Or stay for five days and do the Hoerikwaggo Trail, which you can book through South African National Parks.
Where to stay
Cape Town itself, along with little peninsular towns like Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, Kommetjie, Scarborough and Simon's Town, all have excellent accommodation options. But you may want to ask about the few rather splendid self-catering options within the Cape of Good Hope (the peninsula) section of Table Mountain National Park.
What to eat
There is a restaurant at Cape Point. Simon's Town has lovely seafood restaurants too.
