Hrel - Tuesday, August 09, 2011 - linkWith options like this starting at 600 bucks, and Lenovo has AMAZING build quality, why does any school use Apple? I got it back in the day when they were the only ones with an "all in one" with those multi-colored CRT based macs. But now a days lots of companies make those for way less money. I'm also pretty sure back then Apple gave much more reasonable school discounts. You can talk all you want about IT support costing less on apple; but any school has at least 1 IT guy anyway. So you're full of it. It isn't hard or time consuming if you know at ALL how to administrate a windows machine. Hell, now a days most of the students can probably fix whatever problems you're having for you. Reply

Our season-long garden party Fall Fest 2012 welcomes food and garden bloggers to feature garden-to-table recipes and tips. We'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. Fresh this week: spinach.
Fresh spinach is incredibly nutritious. It's full of fiber, Vitamin A, calcium and protein. Uncooked in a salad or wilted into a side dish, spinach is delicious any way you cook it. We particularly love it in Indian dishes. Instead of opting for takeout, try one of these tasty Indian recipes that you can make at home.
1. Indian Pizza (pictured above)
Puree spinach and spices as the basis for this twist on traditional pizza. It'll serve as a tasty alternative to tomato sauce. Sprinkle the pureed spinach topping with cilantro, green onions and tomatoes before covering with mozzarella cheese.
Go for all of your greens in one dish with this main course featuring broccoli, rapini and spinach. They are steamed with Indian spices before being combined with cubed paneer, an Indian cheese.
Make a batter of chickpea flour, spinach, yogurt, cumin, coriander, fenugreek and onions and fry until deep golden brown. Serve as an appetizer alongside pear and mint chutney.
4. Spinach and Paneer Turnovers with Mango Basil Chutney
Bake spinach and cheese in a homemade dough until nice and toasty. Serve the them with the mango and basil chutney.

An Olympic torchbearer will round of her busy year by switching on Braintree's Christmas lights.
Karate master Kate Malyon will kick off this year's festive celebrations on Saturday afternoon.
She was nominated for the honour as part of a competition run in The Times where people could choose their star to light up Braintree's Christmas.
John Miskimmin, of Trottersfield, Braintree, nominated Mrs Malyon because of how much she does for the members of Yong Gi Do Martial Organisation and her fundraising for the charity Parc.
He added that following her Olympic Torch run she visited every Braintree Primary school and took pictures with thousands of children.
He said: "Everyone at the club has her support in karate and their personal lives."
Mrs Malyon, 46, said: "I don't really know what to say, what a lovely thing for him to do.
"What a lovely end to a really busy year."
She paid tribute to everyone who helps at club and said: "Anything for me is for them too."
The Saturday town centre festivities will begin at 3.30pm with choirs from Alec Hunter Humanities College and Lyons Hall Primary School telling the story of Christmas.
The cast of Snow White the Panto, which will be performed at Bocking Arts Theatre Complex, will also be entertaining the crowds and choosing the winners of the best fancy dress competition.
The lights will be switched on in the High Street at 5pm.

Local firms urged to bid for a share in market revamp
9:59am Saturday 16th February 2013
9:59am Saturday 16th February 2013
BOLTON businesses are being urged to come forward and benefit from the £4.5 million renovation of the market.
Contractor Willmott Dixon is working with Bolton Council to find local sub-contractors and suppliers for the development.
An event will be held at Bolton Town Hall's Lancaster Suite on Monday, February 25, from 9am to 5pm, for businesses keen to get involved.
Willmott Dixon is especially interested in speaking to local businesses involved in groundworks, metal works, flooring, glazing, painting and decorating, fencing, mechanical and electrical services, joinery, and roofing.
Thirty-four traders from the non-food section of the indoor market have moved to temporary units on the outdoor market and will reopen there on Tuesday.
Work on the refurbishment will be completed late this year, with the car park and servicing area being completed next year.
Council leader, Cllr Cliff Morris, said: "We are really pleased the redevelopment will provide work for local businesses, as well as jobs for local people.
"Both the council and Willmott Dixon want as many local firms as possible to get involved, and we would urge businesses to attend and find out about the different opportunities on offer."
Improvements include refurbishing the roof on the fish market, replacing the roof on the non-food eastern hall, more indoor food stalls and a seating area in the eastern hall, and repairing the roof over the western hall, which contains the fresh fruit and vegetable traders. The outdoor market will be moved to New Street, closer to the planned new transport interchange.
While the work is under way, the market's fruit and veg section and the fish market will be open as usual.
Guy Lacey, operations manager from Willmott Dixon, said "We support the local pound at every opportunity and these types of events are just one way we can ensure local businesses benefit."
To reserve a place email nicola.tyson@willmott dixon.co.uk or call 0161 9473960.

Researchers are uncovering new ways to trick your stomach so you eat less.
Nutrition scientists at Pennsylvania State University have shown that people who eat a broth-based bowl of vegetable soup; a large, low-kilojoule, lettuce-based salad; or an apple before a meal consume about 110 to 190 fewer calories at the meal, including the calories in that first course.
They have also shown that people can feel full on fewer kilojoules if fibre-rich vegetables (such as broccoli, spinach, carrots) and fruits (such as berries or peaches) are added to standard recipes and menu plans. This means the entrees contain fewer kilojoules per bite, which is called lowering the energy density of the dish.
Now the researchers have found that people significantly reduce their kilojoule intake at a meal if both the portion size and calories-per-bite in the entree are reduced by as little as 25 per cent.
People did not rate their feelings of hunger or fullness differently when the portion size and the kilojoules-per-bite were reduced that much.
''The take-home message is you need to watch what you are eating over the whole meal, especially the entree, because that is where you get most of your calories,'' said Barbara Rolls, a professor of nutritional sciences and author of The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet with Mindy Hermann. ''Putting more vegetables into the entree is a win-win situation, because you are eating more vegetables and you are cutting the energy density, so you end up eating fewer calories overall.''
Managing portion size is also important, said Rachel Williams a Penn State doctoral student. If you serve yourself a smaller portion, you're going to be less likely to eat as much at the meal, especially if you are serving yourself an entree packed with vegetables, she said.
Although there were no men in the study, the results probably apply to men too, Ms Rolls said.

Been way too long since I fired up the Egg. 9 days!! I know, I know. I was out of town, but I did use my old offset and I did cook over live fire during that time. With the weather changing and the evenings getting cooler, last night was the perfect time to sit on the patio with a cold beverage, fire her up and throw some meat on. Earlier in the week, I spotted some Cornish Game Hens sitting in the freezer and took them out to thaw. Decided to keep them relatively simple and spatchcocked them, let them air dry in the fridge for 2 hours (that's all the time I had), applied some Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Grinder from McCormick. They went on to the Egg at 350, using the grate extender from BGE (I really need to toss this and get an Adjustable Rig) and used apple wood for smoke.
Checked on them after about 30 minutes. My Egg was running a bit hotter in the rear, so I gave it a 180 degree spin
After about 50 minutes they were done and ready to be pulled
Served them up with some broccoli and some spaghetti that was tossed with pesto that my brother and his gf had made.
Pretty darn tasty meal. The CGHs, IMHO, had a slightly stronger, richer flavor than normal sized chickens and were more tender and juicy. The spice I choose and the apple wood paired with it perfectly, not being too strong and overshadowing the hens, but allowing the flavor of the hens to really shine through. I don't think there is any polite way to eat these, and since it was just Mrs. G and myself, I picked it up, ripped off the leg and went to town, juice dripping down my chin and hands. Messy, but oh so worth it. And there is something to be said about not fighting over the favorite parts of the chicken. We both got a leg, a thigh, a breast and a wing. Not to mention there is a whole nother one we can either eat for leftovers of figure out something to do with. Maybe pizza?
I think next time, I'm gonna leave the CGHs whole and stuff them with some kind of wild rice, mushroom and sausage filling....

So … we are back on the game recaps and we're coming off of two very nice wins at the Target Center for the Twolves (and a personally bias Seahawks win, so a lot of excitement!). The Pups first road game took them to the world's most famous arena. No surprises in the starting lineup tonight for either team. For the Wolves; Rubio, Martin, Brewer, Love, and Pekovic. For the Knicks; Felton, Shumpert, Bargnani, Anthony, and Chandler.
Game Summary
The Pups came out of the gate firing on all cylinders for the third consecutive time, jumping out to a 20+ point advantage in the first quarter. The Knicks didn't roll over however and slowly made it into an exciting game that wasn't decided until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. However, good teams win on the road and handle adversity, and that is what we saw signs of last night at MSG from the Wolves.
First Half
The Wolves dominated the 1st quarter and it looked like they were going to run the Knicks, and their fans, out of the building early. Carmelo Anthony picked up two quick fouls and had to sit early. This was very similar to the OKC game, as the Knicks had nothing on the offensive end of the floor without Melo, just like OKC showed without Kevin Durant.
One other note that I jotted down from the 1st quarter is that Ricky Rubio must make open jump shots more frequently, particularly of the mid-range variety. That said, almost immediately after he missed a 16 footer, Rubio picked off a pass and drove in for an open layup. You can't stay mad at Ricky Rubio, he makes it impossible. At the end of the 1st, the Twolves held a 40-19 advantage!
The Knicks outscored the Wolves in the 2nd quarter, 30-24. This was largely due to sloppy play from the Wolves and not playing within Adelman's offensive system. Derrick Williams had a decent stretch of minutes in the quarter on both ends of the floor. If he can keep this up, the Wolves are going to be very dangerous. At the half, the Wolves still held a respectable, double-digit lead – 64-49.
Half-time notes:
- When the Wolves stay in the system, they have all of the pieces to make beautiful basketball
- Kevin Love will be "the best PF in the game" to the pundits by Christmas – 18, 7, and 3 at the half and a few spectacular outlet passes
- Wing play has been phenomenal early on in the season … Thank you Kevin Martin & Corey Brewer!
Second Half
Once again, the Wolves started the 3rd quarter hot, building their lead back up to 20 points and taking a 71-51 lead. However, the Knicks weren't finished, as Melo, Metta World Peace, and Raymond Felton helped the home team scratch back into it. Felton sliced through the middle of the paint about half way through the 3rd quarter and it started a small run for the team, bringing the crowd back into the game.
One thing that the Wolves moved away from in the 3rd quarter was feeding Kevin Martin the ball – who was making jump shots and getting to the line earlier in the game. It was almost like the team read my notes in the timeout as Martin scored two buckets towards the end of the quarter to reestablish a 15 point advantage, 93-78.
The Timberwolves couldn't buy a basket for a few minutes in the 4th quarter, but the Knicks kept firing away from long range vs. doing anything related to running an offense. Eventually, the Knicks made one last, big run to cut it to a five point advantage for the Wolves, when Adelman finally called a timeout. Coming out of the timeout, the Wolves ran a play to get Love a three point shot. While the shot went in, I really want to see Love play more inside than he has been the last two games. I'm not sure how much of this is by design vs. not, but I'd like to see a little bit more of a post-up game from the team. (I'm nitpicking a 3-0 start by the way.)
Despite cutting the lead to two points, 100-98 with about 5 minutes left in the game, the Wolves took the body blows from the Knicks and withstood them. They closed the game out strong defensively, outscoring the Knicks 9-2 the rest of the way, pulling out the 109-100 victory!
Three Stars of the Game
- Kevin Love – 34, 15, and 5 for Love – welcome back to "Best PF in the NBA" status, we missed you! Added bonus for the Spike Lee trash talk and high-five.
- Kevin Martin – 30 points on 9-12 shooting, 5-5 from 3PT range, and 7-9 from the FT line. Wing play … YES!
- Metta World Peace – I'm actually giving this to MWP despite Melo's gaudy box score (22 & 17) because his two fouls early were a stomach punch for the team. MWP finished a team high +17 on the floor, finishing with 17 points, 4 rebounds, and solid defense in his 21 minutes of action.
Key Takeaways
- The Wolves remain undefeated and for only the second time in franchise history, start a season 3-0
- Tough test tonight, as they turn right around and will play in Cleveland Monday night
- I have no idea how the Wolves are getting off to such great starts, but please stay on the same routine for pregame
Game Notes:
The rookies didn't receive any playing time Sunday night, but look for them to play at least a few minutes in Cleveland, given it is the team's first back to back of the season. I would imagine the largest piece would be Gorgui Dieng's role on Monday, as Ronnie Turiaf is going to be out for a while.

As the first African American woman to earn a place on the U.S Olympic Swim Team, Maritza Correia knows a lot about staying fit, accomplishing your goals, and of course, how to stay gorgeous in harsh, wet elements. Here are her secrets— and why she's signed on with the USA Swimming Foundation's "Make a Splash" initiative.
FITNESS: How did you get involved with the "Make a Splash" program?
Maritza Correia: I actually just signed on with "Make a Splash" in March. As a competitor and the first African American woman on the U.S Olympics Swim Team, I want to get kids, especially minorities, involved in swimming and teach them the importance of water safety.
FITNESS: You're constantly in the water. How do you keep your hair from drying out and protected?
MC: I really take care of it. I only wash it two to three times a week because shampoo can really dry out your hair. I condition it often, using the Pantene Pro-V line.
FITNESS: What's your haircare, makeup and skincare routine like on a typical day?
MC: After practice, as I mentioned, I condition my hair. I use a lot of lotion for my body: I love Jergens Shea Butter. I don't use the same lotion on my face because it's more sensitive, so I stick with Aveeno for that. I have to admit, I'm a total girly-girl and I love makeup. I always wear MAC products. After practice my hair tends to be a bit frizzy, so I apply my favorite gel, L.A. Looks.
FITNESS:What does your training consist of?
MC: I am currently not training full time, but I do like to engage in a lot of clinics. I'm actually hosting one at the YMCA in Mount Vernon, New York on May 26th from 10AM to 4PM, "Make a Splash: Mount Vernon", to kick off Memorial Day weekend. I'll be speaking to elementary school kids on the benefits of swimming to stay fit, water safety education and about the learn-to-swim programs.
FITNESS: What's your biggest beauty indulgence?
MC: Being such a girly-girl I have a routine of getting a manicure and pedicure every two weeks. I'll leave the kid with my husband and take that time for myself. It's actually really relaxing and I love that I can be creative and change the color of my nails every two weeks.
FITNESS: What are the beauty products you can't live without?
MC: I'm addicted to lip gloss and Lip Smackers. You can probably find purple, pink and beige tubes all over the house!
FITNESS: What do you consider to be your biggest accomplishment?
MC: Making the Olympic team in 2004. The first time I had ever seen the games was in 1996, when they were in Atlanta. Then I became an Olympian in 2004.
FITNESS: How can readers get involved with "Make a Splash" and its lifesaving programs?
MC: They can log onto Swimtoday.org to get information on free or discounted swim lessons. Also, If you're more competitive, you can find a team to join, or you can just a find a pool near you to have fun, stay healthy and be fit.

I am building a GUI for a school-related programming project. I am using a LEDNumberCtrl, and I want to set its value using a variable, but I get an error when I do.
- Code: Select all
"ave" being the variable. Here is the error I get: AttributeError : 'LEDNumberCtrl' object has no attribute 'SetValue(ave)'
I have never used an LED number control before, so this is new. I assume it means that the control doesnt take a variable, and it assumes that it is a string, but it is actually a number. I am sure the solution is simple, but I just don't know where to go with it. Any ideas? Thanks!

A FAMILY owned garden centre is preparing the green shoots of the future with its new apprenticeship scheme.
St Peter's Garden Centre, near Worcester, is putting 22-year-old James Lawrence through a diploma in work-based horticulture at Pershore College to sow the seeds of a career in the gardening industry.
Will Blake, garden centre manager, hopes the scheme can benefit the centre as well as Mr Lawrence through the acquisition of skills that can help both parties improve and advance.
Mr Blake said: "It is to up-skill somebody who is interested in coming into the industry. Garden centres have struggled to attract new young people, so anything we can do to up-skill James is a benefit to us because we will have better qualified staff to help the customers."
He added: "I think this has been a bit of a trial but it is something we would look to continue and bring another apprentice through the scheme."
Mr Lawrence, who has been working at the Pear Tree Farm based centre in Norton for six years, said: "I am definitely getting a better understanding of the finer points. It is such a wide subject area there's always more to learn and I am augmenting my knowledge picked up from my time here.
"At college I'm building up the theory and knowledge, plant identification and here at the centre it is more practical work - how to prepare the ground for planting, watering and the best procedures for that."
Mr Lawrence is due to finish the two-year course in September 2015.

Did you know?
Owing to its extensive wetland, the garden is rich in frog life.
Established in 1874, the Pietermaritzburg National Botanical Garden was created primarily to grow trees for distribution throughout the then-Natal colony and as a collection point for indigenous, rare and beautiful plants. Today the garden grows, displays and conserves plant collections from the grasslands of the east coast of South Africa.
Its nursery sells a wide range of summer rainfall indigenous plants as well as a number of threatened and rare plant species.
Various small mammals that shelter in the forest and wetland may be spotted in open parts of the garden. These include the blue duiker, Cape clawless otter, greater cane rat and small-spotted genet. Vervet monkeys, bats, 117 butterfly species and 180 bird species have also been recorded, largely due to the diversity of habitats in the garden.
Birding enthusiasts are advised to take to the Turraea Trail, where forest, thicket and lake habitats attract numerous species, or the Forest Trail, where birds of prey and tree-loving birds such as the forest weaver and chorister robinchat may be seen.
Large lawns, flowerbeds and massive trees in the Display Garden attract the likes of the buff-spotted flufftail, orange-breasted bush shrike, croaking cisticola and malachite sunbird, among many others.

Not really sure how I missed this, but the OutMusic Awards which were scheduled for tonight (hump day? really?) aren't happening — for now. OutMusic announced the awards will be postponed until Spring 2011 due to a sponsor abruptly pulling out of the ceremony. According to the letter on their website, proceeding with the awards would have been a strain on their budget. I've pasted the entire notice after the jump.
Unfortunately, this means we'll have to wait on whether local musician Gary Floyd is a winner. We mentioned last month that he is up for three OutMusic awards.
I fail to see how this could have happened. The 2010 awards was to be the follow-up to an astounding success of a revival when the awards were brought back last year. According to their site, "The 2009 OUTMUSIC Awards had a record breaking attendance of 2,000 attendees. Our OUTMUSIC Awards television media sponsor Logo TV of MTV Networks, helped the organization make history by airing the Best Moments of the 2009 OUTMUSIC Awards reaching 40 million viewers. We had a host of other media sponsors via online, radio, and live event producers across the nation, moving us one step closer to achieving Equality in the music industry and the world we live in!"
Talk about ramping up to a letdown. They aren't revealing the sponsor's name, but if you're curious, you can check out the list of the 2010 OMA sponsors here and make your assumptions.

" Brand: Highland Park / Type: Single Malt Whisky "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Highland Park Aged 12 years - All the way from the Orkney Islands
Highland Park 12 year old Single Malt Whisky (to give it its full name) is made in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands. The history of these islands go back some five and a half thousand years although the malt is a little bit more up to date with the establishment of the distillery in 1798. Highland Park is made today, as it has been since 1798. Highland Park believe that this is the reason that they have a global respect for their brand and why they picked up the accolade of "The Best Spirit in the World" in 2009.
The Bottle
Not your usual run of the mill whisky bottle, the Highland Park is squatter and has a bigger opening for poring which I think is better than the narrow necks you get on some whisky bottles. The bottle is sealed with the same type of foil covering that you would find on a champagne bottle which is easy to peel off.
This reveals a black topped cork stopper which is inlaid with the highland motif that you will also find embossed on the front of the bottle. I really like the dull thud noise that the cork makes when you pull it out of the bottle. Very reminiscent of the wild west and pulling corks out of whisky bottles with your teeth. However don't try it with this one as the top is made of hard plastic. (Not that I ever have mmmmmm...)
Also embossed on the bottle is "distilled Kirkwall Orkney" to the back of the bottle and each bottle has a guarantee on the label stating that "we guarantee this whisky is made solely from the finest home grown malt".
The size of the bottle allows for 70 CL of whisky which is at 40% vol. This equates to 28 standard units of alcohol in a bottle of this size. I find the bottle easy to hold and easy to pour although persons with smaller hands may find this more difficult.
The whisky is a golden brown in colour and has the standard whisky smell when you pour it out. I don't personally smell anything different that a whisky however to taste it has a distinctive smokiness that I find a bit harsh although I have friends that like this about the whisky. Mixed with water I find the whisky sweeter than others but I wouldn't go as far to say that it was sweet.
I am unsure if it's because I know it's made of malt that I can taste malt or not but I do think there is a malty taste that can linger after swallowing. Highland Park themselves state you may be able to taste a fruity aftertaste but to date I have not tasted this and this could easily be my pallet rather than it not being there.
The Cost
A bottle of the above can cost you anywhere between £22 and £25 dependent on where you do your shopping for whisky, in my experience shopping on line is not a good idea for whisky its just more convenient. However best time to hunt out a malt (especially one you haven't tried) is in January. Some of the big supermarkets have been known to slash prices for these if they haven't sold well over the festive period.
This is touted as one of the best malt whisky's produced in the world. I do like the taste and the individuality of the bottle warms me to the product however the taste - to me - is not that dissimilar to other malts around this age bracket. I am not able ot dintinguish the fruit that the literature tells you can be taste and this is one malt I prefer to take with water. (and ice of course)
Located on the Orkney Islands, one of the northern most parts of Scotland, is the Highland Park distillery. Founded on this remote and windswept island in 1798, the distillery has, for more than two centuries produced a full flavoured, single malt scottis

The province has pledged $100,000 to support relief efforts in the Philippines after a typhoon swept through the southern part of the country over the past week.
Typhoon Bopha is believed to have killed more than 600 people and left an estimated 400,000 people homeless. Hundreds more are missing.
"Our thoughts are with those who have lost family and friends as a result of typhoon Bopha," said Premier Greg Selinger. "Manitobans stand in solidarity with those in the Philippines as they rebuild and recover from this devastating natural disaster."
The province's donation has been made to the Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC), an independent coalition of development organizations that oversees the distribution of development dollars.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/9/2013 (1435 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Apple laid out a fresh vision for its path in the smartphone market last week by introducing two distinct iPhone models at different prices. But how do the new phones compare with the others already on the market? Here, we take a look at the iPhone 5C and the 5S and each phone's top competitor:
The iPhone 5C: Apple's iPhone 5C essentially fills the spot left by the now retired iPhone 5, and shares many of the same specifications. Now, instead of trying to save a bit by buying a year-old phone with last year's specs, price-conscious Apple fans can buy a new phone with slightly better specs than last year's. It's not a bad deal. The plastic casing on the iPhone, by most accounts, doesn't make the phone feel cheap, and the new color options allow users a chance to express their own Day-Glo personalities.
The iPhone 5C is likely to face its most competitive pressure from phones such as the Moto X -- Google's super-customizable smartphone, also originally conceived as a more budget-conscious phone. Both phones carry mass appeal, thanks to their customization options and light construction.
There are a few key differences, of course. First, the obvious: The Moto X runs Android, and the iPhone 5C runs iOS. That debate is its own whole kettle of fish, so we'll put that aside for now. Apart from that, the Moto X has a larger screen -- 4.7 inches vs. 4 inches on the iPhone 5C -- and a high-megapixel camera with 10 MP sensor vs. an 8 MP for the 5C. But Apple's cheaper iPhone has a smaller and better-resolution screen and is also a little lighter, slimmer and more compact.
The iPhone 5S: The top competitor here is most likely the Samsung Galaxy S4. Here again, Apple's four-inch screen gets dwarfed by the S4's five-inch display, which is bad for Web and video browsing, but good for portability. The iPhone 5S also is expected to have a more premium feel, with its glass and aluminum construction, compared with the plastic of the Samsung model. That matters to some people, especially when they're plunking down about $200 for a phone. Apple's new processing chip also holds a lot of promise, if the 64-bit processor is as fast as Apple claims. That potential power gives developers a lot of room to run.
Given what Apple has released about the 5S so far, it's hard to say which smartphone will win on screen quality. The Galaxy S4 has impressed with its big, bright screen, but Apple's retina display is also top-of-its-class. They're likely matched fairly evenly on the camera, too: The S4 has a 13MP camera, compared with the 5S's 8 MP. But Apple says it's improved it camera sensor and software and claims users will now be able to snap "SLR-quality" shots.
Each phone also has its own smaller features that may appeal to specific sets of users. Apple's fingerprint scanner will make for easier to buy applications; Samsung offers hands-free controls and automatic scrolling during reading among its features.

Hey everybody I just wanted to say hello. I have been way too busy working 2 jobs and it sucks. But when you gotta save for a wedding, you do what you gotta do. I am gonna try and post on here more regularly. I see that there are a couple of new faces and I want to say welcome aboard.
Thank you Mario, but our Princess is in another castle.

I did. But only had time to play for like five minutes.
Don't turn nothing down but your collar.
I haven't downloaded it since I don't have an iphone, ipad, or ipod touch. It probably won't be until early next year (hopefully the game will still be available come that time), but I'll probably get an ipod touch or one of those new smaller ipads at some point.
In the name of the Lloyd!
I'm about to download it - I tried to get it earlier but it's >50MB and I wasn't on wifi. We'll see how it is!
It's ok for 99 cents.
Don't turn nothing down but your collar.
After beating the Dungeons, my opinion so far is that it's not bad, but the controls are kind of wonky. It'd be fine if you *only* moved right, but changing direction (especially when under attack) is way harder than it needs to be. If I'm in the middle of an attack and someone comes up from the left, it's almost a sure thing that they'll hit me at least once before the attack animation finishes and I can turn around. Also, the cost of the various upgrades is so high that it seems like you'd have to play the game for hours to get even the most basic of upgrades unless you pay for more gems with real money.
I got it, but I pretty much suck at video games so I'm at the point where Beast Man uses me as his personal punching bag and I doubt I'll outrun him anytime soon.
I have trouble jumping in the game.
Don't turn nothing down but your collar.
I beat it over the weekend. Fun for $.99, but yeah, the controls kinda suck. Would be a lot more fun it if were on a console or traditional handheld using normal controls. Replaying the levels to get the 3 star rating adds some replayability, but as stated, you have to save up gems from replaying to unlock abilities to unlock cordoned-off areas to get all the lore and such. plus, if you have the MOTUC figures, you already know the character bios, word for word.
This space for rent, apparently.....
I tried the He-Man game on Darrell's iPhone and I liked it but like everyone else, I thought the controls were subpar, but for 99 cents it would be a worthwhile purchase.
Thank you Mario, but our Princess is in another castle.
It would be nice if they were to release it for PSN and XBLA. All they would have to do is associate the moves with the buttons instead of the touch screen. It shouldn't be that hard to program. I'd rather play it that way than on an ipod/ipad.
On the plus side of things, I should have my Temple of Darkness Sorceress later this week! woo-hoo!

A memorial visitation for Baltimore County firefighter Robert Fogle III will be held at the Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company (near Westminster) on Wednesday, June 4, 2 to 8 p.m. Funeral services also will be held at the Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company on Thursday, June 5 at 10 a.m.
While Fogle will receive full Fire Service honors, the Fogle family has not chosen a full, ceremonial funeral; there will be no interment and no procession.
The Pleasant Valley Fire Community Company is located at 2030 South Pleasant Valley Road, 21158.
Fogle, 58, held the rank of Fire Apparatus Driver Operator (FADO). He went into cardiac arrest during a training exercise Friday afternoon at the Fire-Rescue Academy in Sparrows Point, and was transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.
FADO Fogle is a 27-year veteran of the Baltimore County Fire Department, stationed at Pikesville Station #2.
A Westminster resident, he volunteered for more than 30 years at the Pleasant Valley Community Fire Co. He was a past member of the Taneytown Volunteer Fire Co.
Fogle also was a fire/rescue instructor with the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute.
He is survived by his wife, Carol Ann, and two adult children, Garrett W. Fogle and Casey J. Fogle, both of Westminster.
BCoFD standard operating procedures call for an internal investigation for all line-of-duty deaths. An internal investigation team is being assembled.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health also investigates most fire service deaths. A preliminary conference with representatives from Maryland Occupational Safety and Health has taken place, and BCoFD will cooperate fully as the process continues.

Show of the week
Homeland: season finale
Sunday, Channel Ten, 8.30pm
FACE it, Homelanders, we've been hate-watching our once-favourite show for several episodes. Every espionage thriller starts better than it ends, but the real victim in this second series is suspense, which was hijacked by stupidity long before Abu Nazir made like a metaphor and locked Carrie in a conveniently abandoned dungeon/warehouse.
The penultimate episode's gravest error was not bamboozling the viewers, but boring them with tired routines. The bit where Carrie charges into danger; the one where Brody and Jess talk sadly; the moment where Dana sulks. Even the scene where the arch-enemy is killed was anticlimactic. Sunday's finale desperately needs to shock us to keep us around for season three.
Homeland was never a realistic show; it wasn't The Wire with better surveillance. It's a high-concept thriller. The first four episodes of this season were electrifying, shriek-aloud television. Like Carrie on a mission, the show swiftly went rogue on TV's standard tropes, revealing within two episodes the treachery Brody hid all of season one. By episode four, Carrie had blown the operation wide-open in a coruscating face-off of fear and scorn.
For this, we could forgive some bizarre plot swerves. Nazir's shadowy network, so plausibly clandestine in season one, is maddeningly inconsistent. In one episode, they make Brody - now a congressman - play chauffeur. In another, they have their own US-based militia. At least the tailor's murder was a rare display of black humour, as Brody answered his mobile phone mid-deed. The helicopter abduction, however, was an audience-baiting display of deus ex machina.
Vestiges of realism still cling to the script, especially in Saul Berenson's (Mandy Patinkin) enjoyable dialogue (polygraph operator: ''Are you sometimes called the Bear?'' Saul: ''F---ing hope not!''). Many other performances are still great, notably Morgan Saylor as Dana, TV's most believable surly teen, and Rupert Friend as Quinn, a broodingly hot CIA assassin.
The two leads have done terrific work in trying circumstances. Claire Danes' ''cry face'' is justly celebrated but her smile in episode one as she escapes from danger in Beirut is magnificent.
The season belongs, however, to Damian Lewis as Nicholas Brody, delivering even when the concept is preposterous. His special talent is playing a good liar, so there's doubt even, or especially, when he sounds most sincere. His moment of truth is the primal scream when his wife demands he tell the CIA to back off: ''I can't! I can't! I can't!''
Listen, the fans are not angry because the show isn't realistic. (Though it was funny when the show's soapiest bed-hopping was echoed in the news by the complexities of the Petraeus affair.) Viewers lose faith when a show breaks its own rules.
The first season worked because we stayed in the cat-and-mouse world of surveillance, of the unhinged watching the unreliable.
This time around, psychological drivers such as Carrie's mania, or her patriotism, are used or jettisoned as scenes demand. Brody's religious beliefs are erratically employed. Dana's hit-and-run is just an exhausted B plot. But chiefly, Abu Nazir's endgame makes no sense. If his arch-enemy dies and everyone thinks it was natural causes, what good is that to a terrorist? And why is basic tech, such as Skype and SMS, so untraceable?
The first series of Homeland was more subtle about terrorism's impulses than anyone expected from an American drama. Nazir's mob were always the bad guys, but their motives were persuasively explored. Now he and his shadowy brigands are just cartoons, right down to the scene where the evil mastermind explains his fiendish plot to the captive damsel.
We've been led right back to propaganda about being alert not alarmed, for the terrorist hates freedom and strikes randomly. Flags fly; soldiers lock and load; America is saved again. The show that was meant to be the antidote to 24 has turned into another foreigner-baiting, torture-glorifying tale. Perhaps, like a sleeper cell, this was its purpose all along.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team closes out the non-conference portion of its 2013-14 season Saturday, hosting NJIT in a game that tips off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday's game is the second half of a doubleheader with the Highlanders, as the Quakers women host NJIT at 5 p.m.
GAME 15 - PENN (3-11) vs. NJIT (8-12)
Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014 * 7:30 p.m.
The Palestra (Philadelphia)
TV: Ivy League Digital Network (there is a fee for this service)
Radio: WNTP 990 AM (Matt Leon, Stan Pawlak)
The Penn-NJIT Series
*The Quakers have defeated the Highlanders in all three meetings between these programs; they have all taken place since 2008.
*Penn defeated NJIT last year in Newark, 54-53, the program's 1,700th all-time win. Darien Nelson-Henry (12 pts, 11 rbs) and Miles Jackson-Cartwright (12 pts, 5 asts) led the Quakers, but it was Patrick Lucas-Perry who had Penn's final five points.
*Penn became a footnote in NJIT history when the Quakers defeated the Highlanders on January 17, 2009 (59-40) to give them their 51st straight loss, the longest in history for a team playing an NCAA Division I schedule. It would also be the last in NJIT's streak -- in its next game the Highlanders beat Bryant, 61-51.
Home is Where the Wins Are
Penn entered the 2013-14 season with 803 wins at The Palestra, which opened in 1927. In an informal survey of the other NCAA Division I programs, only Washington (932 wins at Hec Edmundson Pavilion) and Butler (826 wins at Hinkle Fieldhouse) boasted more wins in their current home than the Quakers. The Edmundson Pavilion was opened in 1927, while the Bulldogs opened Hinkle in 1928.
Up The Scoring Chart
Senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright has 1,231 points for his career which is 23rd in Penn history; he passed Dave Wohl (1,226 points from 1969-71) with seven points last Saturday vs. Saint Joseph's. Phil Hankinson (1971-73) is 22nd with 1,236 points; Barry Pierce (1991-94) is 21st with 1,245 points; Jack Eggleston (2008-11) and Matt Maloney (1993-95) are tied for 19th with 1,248 points each.
The Quaker Notemeal of Note
*Penn will play a game on every Saturday in January this season. Seems reasonable, right? It is, until you realize that the Quakers haven't done that since the 2002-03 season. (That is due mostly to the Quakers' Ivy League travel partner, Princeton, being in exams and Penn struggling to find non-conference games.)
*Penn has held 11 of its 14 opponents this season below 45 percent shooting from the field; George Mason was one of those three teams, barely -- the Patriots shot 45.3 percent (24-53) on January 2.
*In Penn's 14 games so far, head coach Jerome Allen has played 15 players in a game twice this season, 14 players four times, and 13 players four times.
*Penn has four players averaging double figures in scoring -- Tony Hicks (15.0), Darien Nelson-Henry (12.7), Fran Dougherty (12.0), Miles Jackson-Cartwright (11.0) -- but has not had more than three double-figure scorers in any game so far this season.
*Through the first 14 games, five different players have led Penn in scoring (Dougherty, Jackson-Cartwright, Hicks, Nelson-Henry, Julian Harrell) and all five have had at least one 20-point game.
*After recording 14 rebounds combined in Penn's first four games (3.5 rpg), Dougherty has 84 in the last 10 contests (8.4 rpg); he has snared nine or more boards in seven of Penn's last nine games.
*Hicks has led Penn in scoring each of the last four games (18.0 ppg in that stretch).
*Nelson-Henry had missed four games before starting on January 11 against Princeton (17 points, 8 rebounds), while Harrell had missed two games before starting against the Tigers (7 points, 6 assists).
*Twelve of Jackson-Cartwright's last 15 field goals have been three-pointers. Over the last eight games, 21 of Jackson-Cartwright's 27 field goals are from beyond the arc and he is 21-of-39 (53.8 pct).
Notemeal From Saint Joseph's
*Penn tied a season high in assists (22) and tied a team low in turnovers (10).
*Penn got 31 points from the bench and 16 from the freshman class, both season highs.
*Penn set season lows in free throws attempted (10) and rebounds (25), and tied a low in free throws made (6).
*SJU set opponent highs in the Jerome Allen coaching era in 3-point baskets (16) and 3-point FG percentage (.667).
*Penn's 34-point halftime deficit was its largest this season.
*SJU scored 57 points in the first half, one shy of an opponent high in the Allen era.
*SJU's 21-point unanswered run was the longest by an opponent this season.
*The Hawks also set opponent season highs in field goals (31), field-goal percentage (.564) and assists (24), and opponent lows in free throws made (7), free throws attempted (12) and blocked shots (1).
*SJU became just the third Penn opponent to shoot better than 45 percent from the field in a game this season.
*Sophomore Tony Hicks had 15 points, his team-high 11th double-figure scoring game this season and 26th at Penn.
*Hicks has led Penn in scoring in four straight games (18.0 ppg during that stretch) and six times overall this season.
*Senior Steve Rennard tied a career high with 13 points, his first double-figure scoring game this season and his fourth at Penn.
*Rennard also tied a career best with three 3-point FG.
*Freshman Dylan Jones had 10 points for his first double-figure scoring game at Penn.
*Jones also set season/career highs in rebounds (5) and minutes (15)
*Jones led Penn in rebounding in the game, becoming the fourth different player to lead the team in that category this season.
*Freshman Matt Howard tied season/career highs in points (6) and rebounds (3) and set a season/career best in assists (2).
*Senior Fran Dougherty tied a career high with two steals.

A number of Knox County leaders suspect government workers are cheating a system that allows them to obtain and keep handicapped hangtags so they can park for free inside the downtown City County Building.
Now local leaders want to discourage that by changing state law to allow them to charge disabled employees for parking privileges.
They say the move would add dollars – at least $43,000 annually – to the coffers and prevent some workers from jumping ahead of employees who park elsewhere and have waited years for the coveted garage spots.
It also would be more equitable, overall, for the employees who work in the City County Building, the headquarters of local governmental operations.
"Personally, I hate that accessible parking is free," said Knoxville Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator Stephanie Cook, whose job is to accommodate city employees and residents with disabilities. "Professionally, it's not so great either because it's hard to provide enough parking to accommodate those who need it."
Cook, a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair and has her own marked parking spot, added: "I have an issue with 'free' equaling 'special,' and advocates for people with disabilities want equal treatment."
Officials for years have wrestled with costs tied to the 868-space parking garage in the City County Building, and how to make them fairer across the board.
Roughly five years ago, a committee comprised of city and county officials concluded that the fee - $30 a month at the time – fell way below market rates. The panel suggested increasing it to $60 a month over several years, capping it this past January.
Officials, though, balked in late 2012, saying they didn't want to increase it anymore from the current $47.50 monthly fee, since county employees had gone years without a pay raise.
About the same time parking prices began increasing, officials noticed "a significant jump" in the number of county employees applying for disability hangtags, said Dale Smith, executive director of the Public Building Authority, the quasi-governmental agency that manages the parking garage for the city and county.
Smith said at one point he sent a memo to county managers that listed their employees who had a tag, and "that's when we got some pretty strong reactions in a few cases from department heads who clearly knew that that person was not physically disabled."
However, there's nothing officials can do about it, once a doctor approves the required paperwork.
"Nobody was trying to play doctor," said Smith. "Neither I, nor the mayors, nor the finance directors are trying to outguess physicians."
But, the number of county employees who request hang tags, coupled with anecdotal evidence of people seeking tags for illegitimate disabilities, leads him to believe that non-disabled employees are still able to come up with the necessary paperwork.
Part of the solution, county officials believe, would be to charge everyone including disabled drivers to park.
However, Tennessee is one of the few states that won't allow local governments to charge disabled drivers a fee to park on any street, metered parking space or lot municipally owned or leased.
The number of accessible parking permits have dipped and jumped during the past decade, but officials say county employees have always accounted for more than their city counterparts.
And the disparity has been pretty significant.
Right now, the county has 64 employees with disability tags, and the city has 12.
But, from 2010 through 2012, for example, about 90 of the county's 455 full-time county employees who use the garage had permits, or roughly 20 percent, according to Knox County ADA Coordinator Pat Carson. Yet only seven of the city's 160 full-time employees, or about 4.5 percent, had permits.
Roughly 20 percent of the population nationwide has a disability, according to the ADA, although the disability might not be immediately apparent.
"It is a system, unfortunately, that is very, very easy to game," Smith said.
For example, drivers need to complete a form and get a physician to OK it before they get a tag. But, Smith said, some doctors allow approve permits for matters not recognized as ADA disabilities, like pregnancy. Doctors also have let the "temporary" or "permanent" box go unchecked – allowing employees to complete it.
"Once a physician signs that, everybody else down the chain from the employer to the owner of the garage, like we are, has to comply," Smith said. "You have no choice. There's no way to appeal it. There's no way to have it reviewed in any formal way."
When asked about the disparity between the city and county permits, Smith said city workers also need approval from Cook, and "I think (that) possibly people are more embarrassed to come to her and claim that they're more impaired than the person on the county's side."
"That's the only thing I can attribute to it because there will always be equal motivations to save money, and to get into the garage," Smith said, noting that Cook is permanently in a wheelchair, while her counterpart in county government is not disabled.
Cook said free parking "could incentivize a person to maybe seek a hangtag or plate that they may or may not need," but stressed that she's "not a medical professional."
"I don't get to judge that," she said.
Recently, though, the numbers have dropped, something officials attribute to the Knox County Commissioner's unwillingness to raise the rates. They're still concerned, though, that some people are taking advantage of the system.
"As we look at our numbers today I think it's not being abused as much as it was," said county Finance Director Chris Caldwell.
Officials now have a few options: Increase the rates for most employees to account for lost revenue, or charge everyone to park.
"We're not picking on these individuals," Caldwell said. "We just want to make sure it's applied fair across the board."
He said the administration has reached out to state leaders, including State Rep. Ryan Haynes, R-Knoxville, to help change the law.
Haynes, the chairman of the local Legislative delegation, said he wants to talk with organizations that work with the disabled, but said state lawmakers will probably discuss whether to give local governments the option to charge those who park in the accessible spots.
"This was an idea that (the county administration) approached and they may need some leeway in the law to be able to do that, but I think ultimately the City County Building should be run by the City of Knoxville and the county, and they should be able to make these decisions for themselves. And I think they recognize that as well," he said.
The Tennessee General Assembly meets again in January.

Those that are looking for a Loader or RemoveWAT for Windows 8 may be out of luck. The evaluation copies of Windows that Microsoft allowed you to download will expire once Windows 8 Pro is on general sale - after 26 October 2012. This blog post does not refer to those evaluation copies of Windows 8.
The way that the Windows 7 (and versions prior to this including Vista) loaders worked was that a program that updated the SLIC table on the computers BIOS was run and inserted a Product Key (or Serial) from an OEM version of Windows. With Windows 8 the activation will be automatic on the install and therefore you will not have an "evaluation" version of Windows to run the "loader" against.
Will this mean that those that have been using bootleg versions of Windows 7 are now going to have to pay for Windows 8? Or maybe they will all stick with Windows 7 for as long as they can.
Other pages related to Windows 8 and activation:
- Surprise! What you can expect from Windows 8 RTM - Ed Bott for The Ed Bott Report, ZDNet, August 15, 2012
- Windows updates that break RemoveWAT
- Windows Activation - a look at the state of play in 2012
- OEM Activation 3.0 - Windows 8 discussed on this blog
- Why there are all the scams by those saying they have a solution
The roll-out of Windows RT, the tablet version of Windows 8 that runs on an ARM powered device has prompted discussion about this new activation scheme. By the time that the x86, Windows 8 Pro, comes on line MS will have probably worked out more of the details. At the present time there is probably little that the consumer be worried about as they are not going to able to run Windows 8 RT on their hardware as Windows 8 Pro is not going to be available until the end of the year (2012). The release of Windows 8 RTM was announced approximately 15 August 2012.
It is doubtful that the Windows 8 Loaders that you see for download will work with the beta versions of Windows 8 Pro that have also, presumably, been made available for download. These bootleg versions of Windows 8 are likely to be as bogus as the Windows8 Loaders. Be very careful in what you download!

Fly-fishing on the Pinware River11 Dec 2013
If Pinware described its campsites as having hot and cold running water with food nearby, they really couldn't be accused of lying. Measuring just 68 hectares and bordered by the Pinware River on one side and the Strait of Belle Isle on the other, it's one of Labrador's hidden gems, renowned for its trout and salmon fishing (running water, food nearby: get it?).
What to feed a hungry angler... Fish, perhaps?15 Apr 2013
Trevor Pilgrim of Mayflower Adventures in Roddickton, NL, believes in giving his guests a hearty breakfast before he takes them out salmon fishing. One of his favourite haunts is Beaver Brook and its world-famous limestone cave, known as the Underground Salmon Pool.
Fast forward to 2012. I find myself in the rugged Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, at the historic town of Bonavista frantically trying to channel the vague memories of my salad days on the banks of Berkshire.
Labrador Dream1 Mar 2011
Life member Matt Stevens' transformation from dejected and defeated to high-octane adrenaline-induced ecstasy was instantaneous. It happened on the third crank into his retrieve across the inlet to Three-Mile Lake. The lure stopped, the rod loaded on the set, and Matt knew that he'd finally…finally… hooked the type of fish he'd dreamed about countless times during the previous two months.

If you want to connect/distribute or publish two wifi networks at once, you need two cards. Plain and simple.
I've not run a configuration like this on my dual-wifi-nic laptop before, and though I have the feeling I've seen it said somewhere that you can't do it, I've no good reason to see why not. One frequently bridges two wifi connections on a FreeBSD device kicking around the LAN with success - problems may be a limitation of airbase/fake-ap.
Process is simple: Connect NIC 1 to wifi network. Start fakeap on NIC 2.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"My color theme for my wedding it a variation of purples and this invitation was just perfect for it. The quality is also great! Delivery was amazingly fast! I am very satisfied with my finished product and would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"

Blue. Not all shades, more of the darker variety.
For clothes, black mostly with bursts of color. For example: Black Pants, black button up shirt, black vest but with a *insertcolorhere* tie.
Orange. Not bright orange. But soft. Like the sunset.
Red, Orange and black. But red is number 1 in my book

it's all about combos IMO!
black+just about anything but girly colors (clothes anyway)
blue! Ftw!

Then maybe red. And then blue.
Black, to wear, for any items where the "Do you have it in black?" option is available, aesthetically and atmospherically.
Red, politically and for the rich history and delightfully debatable ethics for which a flying red flag stands.
Blue, I find relaxing/soothing and I love staring thoughtlessly at a blue sky.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1748 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The first rule of Burger Club is you do not talk about Burger Club... when your mouth is full.
Burger Club -- Winnipeg is an informal group of gourmands who sacrifice time, money and waistlines in pursuit of this city's premier patty.
"We're definitely not the first people who've gone searching for the best burger in town," says Tim Turner, the club's leader. "But there's a difference. We have spreadsheets."
Turner's not kidding. Members meat, er, meet at a predetermined location and rate their food on a scale from 1 to 5, in a variety of categories. When lunch is over, Turner collects everybody's report card. He then publishes the results, along with photos and a 300-word synopsis, on the club's blog (www.burgerclubwinnipeg.blogspot.ca).
Burger Club -- Winnipeg got its start three years ago. Surprisingly, Ground Zero didn't involve ground round at all.
One day, a friend of Turner's went for lunch at a downtown greasy spoon. Later, he made what Turner calls an "outrageous claim" that the clubhouse there was better than the one at the now-mothballed Wagon Wheel. Turner immediately organized a search party, and for the next few weeks, he and his chums headed out every Tuesday to sample club sandwiches at various restaurants around town. (In the end, the Wagon Wheel's clubhouse, may it rest in peace, won out.)
That quest led to a second expedition involving Reubens. After that, it was gyros.
Finally, the by-then 10-member ensemble decided to take on a fourth challenge, one that might take months, even years, to complete.
On March 15, 2011, Turner and company gathered at Original George's Burgers & Subs at 1141 St. Mary's Rd. for the inaugural Burger Club chow-down.
"I picked George's as our first stop because in my mind, it was Winnipeg's best burger and I thought we'd start with the 'best' to measure all other contenders against," Turner says. (Tough crowd: although George's burgers netted four out of five stars, that number isn't high enough to crack Burger Club's current Top 20.)
Scott Hewitt, a club member since Day 1, says that he bases his final grade on the total experience, not just what adorns his bun.
"We rate places so many different ways that it's almost got an electoral-college feel to it," Hewitt says, mentioning that something as quaint as a hand-written, "Here Is Not Bus Shelter" sign in the lobby at Sonya's (190 Henderson Hwy.) is sometimes enough to separate the men from the fat boys.
"Service is another factor," Hewitt goes on. "We went to one place where some of the members actually got up and left, it was taking so long. The waitress kept apologizing, saying that they ran out of burgers."
To prevent that from occurring, Turner always calls the restaurant in question a day ahead of time to let them know that the Burger Club is on its way. Average attendance is 12, Turner says, but there have been days when as many as 25 people -- men, women and children -- have shown up.
"Usually I pick where we go; voting just complicates the process," Turner says, explaining how they decide what's next on their plate. "But I do keep a list of contenders, which are recommendations I received from other burger clubbers or blog readers."
And what do cooks and waitresses think, when everybody gets out a pen and begins taking notes on everything from the cleanliness of the washrooms to what tunes are playing on the in-house sound system?
"Occasionally the staff will ask us what we're doing -- we're usually a large and boisterous group," Turner says. "They often want to know where our favourites are, and usually have suggestions of their own where we should eat next week."
Five guys' burgers
Like this column, Burger Club -- Winnipeg generally eschews franchise restaurants in favour of homegrown icons like Blondie's and the White Top Drive-In.
But when Five Guys Burgers and Fries opened its first Winnipeg location earlier this year, Burger Club members couldn't resist heading down to taste what the Five Guys fuss was all about.
"Eighteen of us went; everybody gave it a passing grade and as always, some people liked it better than others," says Tim Turner. "Overall, it got a respectable 4 out of 5."
If you haven't been to Five Guys yet, here's your big chance. We recently sampled five guys' burgers ourselves -- that is, hamburgers from local institutions named for George, Pete, Eddie, Angelo and Johnny.
Your job is to match the burger to its namesake. Send your answers to firstname.lastname@example.com before noon on Wednesday, Nov. 14. We'll draw one name from all correct ballots and award that person a $20 gift certificate to Five Guys Burgers and Fries, on Regent Avenue W.
Match the burger to the restaurant it came from, using this list and the images in the slideshow:

Best Toddler Parenting Advice from Our Fans
September 20, 2011 at 7:44 am melissaanddoug 1 comment
We Asked You to Give Us Your Best Toddler Parenting Advice and You Came Through with Some Great Comments!
One common theme was patience:
- Just breathe!
- Count to 10 first. And laugh a lot!
- Parenting a toddler is the hardest thing I've ever done! I'm learning to have more patience than ever before, to learn to not sweat the small stuff, to laugh more, play more, have more fun and to smother them with love, hugs and kisses, and most importantly, to make them feel and know they are loved – every day!
- Patience, patience and more patience!
Another common theme was love, hugs & kisses:
- You can never love a child too much. Hug,kiss, and snuggle as much as you want to 🙂
- My advice is to listen, encourage, love unconditionally, and be their BEST cheerleader in life!!
- Teach by example and always let them know they are loved.
- Hug it out!! A hug makes everything better – both the good and the bad.
Another common theme was to have fun:
- That tutus and pajama pants CAN be an outfit! Enjoy the fun times and take pics!
- Let them wear a costume anywhere/anytime they want.
- Socks don't have to match.
- Choose to cherish the best parts of each day – the memories of pretend tea parties and snuggling at bedtime are far more important than the tears.
Some advice offered perspective:
- They will only be babies for such a short time! No matter how tough it is, remember that before you know it they will be off to college, so leave the dinner dishes, leave the laundry and go cuddle with your little one, dance around the house together, read an extra bed time story, give them one more hug and kiss and even one more cookie before bed:) and most of all LOVE them!
- Write down the cute things they say and do. Kids grow up way too fast, and sometimes small things that make us love our kids more easily get lost or forgotten in the daily hectic shuffle of toddler parenting.
- Take pictures often. They grow fast!
- This too shall pass
- It all comes out in the wash!!!
Some were just outright funny, but true!
- Baking cookies always makes the day better. 😉
- Enjoy every minute – and put up safety gates 🙂
- Cowboy boots look great with shorts…even if you don't think so.
We had the philosophical:
- Children learn what they live….
- Choose your battles wisely!
The practical:
- Never go anywhere without baby wipes…….they clean EVERYTHING.
…And the serious:
- It's ok for mommas to cry sometimes too 😉
Thank you all for your contributions! You can see the complete list of your Best Toddler Parenting Advice on our Facebook Fan Page 🙂

If you're a single gal in the dating scene, then you're probably very familiar with this scenario: you go on a first date with a guy who's nice, doesn't seem to have any obvious deal breakers and does all the right things—picks you up, opens the door for you, is polite to the server, makes you laugh—but for some reason you're just not feeling it.
You go on a second and third date to see if your feelings will change… but they don't. Now, you're left with the uncomfortable task of telling him you don't want to see him again. What the hell do you say?
Read A Real Guy Tells: Why Your Date Didn't Work Out
I had to do this recently, and not only was it awkward, but the guy I was rejecting didn't let me off the hook easy. He wanted to know specifics – why did I not want to see him again? What did he do wrong? Would I just give him one more chance? Oh, was it painful, especially when I couldn't verbalize why I didn't like him. I just… didn't.
It made me wish I had just avoided his texts to hang out until he eventually got the hint (something I've shamefully done more than a few times). But that's bitchy, and I would be upset if someone were to do that to me.
So, what's a girl to do – is there a "right" way to reject a guy? We asked real guys for their input. Here's what they had to say:
"For crying out loud, just tell us you have a freaking boyfriend!" says Dan N., 29, a comedian from New York (but we have a feeling he's joking.)
While Arash A., 28, from California says, "Logic is something that men have a tough time rebutting. If you say, 'I think you're a really great guy but we're just on two different pages in our lives,' a guy would have a tough time rationalizing being angry. And if he does, his buddies would likely give him a lot of grief for 'acting like a little girl.'"
