General Discussion
General Discussion
Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) is a disorder characterized by brief, recurrent bouts of vertigo. Vertigo is a sensation of spinning, whirling or turning. Individuals often feel as if the room is moving or spinning and they can lose their balance and have difficulty standing or walking. During the bouts of vertigo, affected individuals often have abnormal eye movements as well (nystagmus). BPPV is most often triggered by rapid, sometimes unexpected changes in head position. The severity of the disorder varies. In some cases, it only causes mild symptoms, while in others it can potentially cause more severe, even debilitating symptoms. BPPV may disappear on its own only to return weeks or months later. Most affected individuals can be easily and effectively treated by non-invasive methods such as canalith (or canalolith) repositioning maneuvers. However, BPPV may recur even after effectively treated. BPPV is believed to be caused by the displacement of small calcium carbonate crystals within the inner ear. These tiny crystals become dislodged from their normal location and fall into one of three semicircular canals, which are tiny, interconnected, looped tubes that serve to detect movements of the head and that play a role in helping the body maintain balance. The exact, underlying cause of this displacement is not always known (idiopathic). Recurrences are possible because additional calcium can become dislodged. The treatment maneuvers remove the calcium but do not prevent the shedding of additional calcium crystals in the future.
BPPV has been identified as a clinical entity since the late 1800s. The term benign means that the disorder is not progressive and is not considered serious. Although labeled benign, BPPV can disrupt a person's daily activities and affect quality of life. The term paroxysmal means that episodes arise suddenly and often unpredictably. The term positional means the disorder is contingent on a change of the position of the head. BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo.

|Online Class General Information
Frequently Asked Questions - General Information about Online Learning
Below you will find a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Online Learning in general. Click the question to display the answer.
Do I need my own computer to take an online class? Do I need to have internet access?
You are not required to have your own computer to take an online class. However, you must be able to use a computer with internet access two or three times a week for a few hours each time. Having a computer with internet access in your home can make taking an online class less stressful as you will be able to take a test or work on an assignment when your schedule allows - even at 2:00 am in the morning.
Computers are available for student use on all of the Central Arizona College campuses. The hours of operation for the Library and Learning Resource Centers are posted on those webpages.
When does the class start? When will the class be in my Blackboard account?
If you have logged into Blackboard and do not see your online class, do not worry. Classes do not appear in the "My Courses" module in Blackboard until the instructor has made them available. Instructors have until the official start date of a class to make it available to students. Check back in a few days to see if your class is available.
All Central Arizona College online classes begin on the start date listed in the Class Schedule. In some subject areas there are classes beginning every 5 weeks.
Login to your Blackboard account and enter your online class as soon as possible after the posted start date. (If you can, enter your online class before the start date.) Some online classes have assignments due within the first couple of days.
Do online classes have set schedules and assignment due dates?
The assignment schedule and due dates in an online class will vary from class to class just as they do in a face-to-face class. The scheduling depends on the class topic and the instructor. It is very important for you to read the syllabus posted in your online class as soon as possible. The syllabus will give you detailed information regarding the instructor's assignment schedule and "late" assignment policies.
There are a few online classes which allow you to work at your own pace as long as all assignments and tests are completed by a certain day. However, this is the exception and not the rule. Other online classes have posted dates by which an assignment or a test is due but allow you to work ahead as long as you maintain a certain grade level in the class.
Most online classes have a posted schedule which details when assignments are due and when tests are scheduled. For example; you might have an assignment due every Friday evening and a quiz every Saturday. In a class with such a schedule you cannot work ahead and it is very important that you do not fall behind.
Do I have to access my class at a particular time every day?
Online classes do not "meet" at a set time every day. The students access the class at different times throughout the day according to their individual schedules. (This is called asynchronous learning.) An online class will have students from all over the United States and around the world who would find it extremely difficult to get together online at the same time.
As a general rule you should plan to access your online class three times a week for a few hours each time. This will give you enough time to get the assignment information so that you can complete the work outside of Blackboard if necessary; turn in the assignment; and take the quiz or exam. In a fully online class there will generally be a one week time frame in which you must turn in an assignment or a twenty-four hour period in which you must take a test. If you are taking a hybrid class which is partially online you might be asked to join an online chat room at a particular time.
Is everything I need on the Internet?
Your "lecture notes", handouts and assignments will be available inside of Blackboard. You will need to purchase textbooks and any additional materials required for the class.
Will the same content be covered in this class as in a face-to-face class?
Yes. An online class covers the same content as a face to face class. The instructional method and the assignments might be different but the learning outcomes are the same.
Where can I go for help?

To the driving, striving, perfectionist highly frenetic work patterns can be challenging and stimulating.
Though the human system is remarkably strong and adaptable - excessive striving or excessive demands over a long period take their toll.
For the workaholic and perfectionist overachiever - for whom overwork is the norm - sleeping problems, sleep deprivation are just accepted as par for the course.
' Wired' and hooked on stress - they often use artificial stimulants to maintain alertness and drive. In their ' leisure ' time they tend toward excess and indulgence substituting one kind of high for another. Once conditioned this way the system cannot slow down. It just oscillates between 'flat-out' and 'wiped out'.
Self inflicted or not - such stress generates fatigue. Many report feeling tired all the time and intermittent exhaustion.
The end state may be physical burnout - where the system is out of energy - or nervous exhaustion and mental burnout or even nervous breakdown.
In cases of chronic fatigue the system may fall into a state recognised as chronic fatigue syndrome - or M. E. - where the system is unable to get energy with which to recover. Like a car with an emptied tank - a mere refill will not allow it to run again. The fuel system has to be cleansed of ' sludge' before it can begin to function properly. The longer it is ' off the road ' the more maintenance issues will need attention.
These end stages are frequently accompanied by depression, making recovery more difficult.
On the way there are usually plenty of warning symptoms. Headaches and various other local or non-specific physical aches increase with rising levels of stress.
Type-A drivers and strivers - proud of their toughness and ability to survive - are generally in denial of all this.
This sense of feeling wired may extend into states where sufferers feel agitated and can t stop thinking.
Now at an elevated level of stress, they are in constant need of an energy boost and feel they are losing their edge. With diminishing motivation and morale they beat up on themselves and try to flog themselves harder to get back on the pace.
They begin to make mistakes and their capacity to make a decision is eroded. The process of making decisions may become unduly disorientating because they can't think clearly any more. By this stage - most people realise that something is going badly wrong.
Excessive sweating and dizziness may begin - together with other anxiety symptoms.
Fairly advanced degradation may be characterised by fibromyalgia - not a widely recognised medical condition ( see footnote ) - or adrenal exhaustion - a diagnostic category which is heavily disputed.
People may feel detached or out of touch - even quite unreal - maybe hovering on the edge of panic or experiencing full blown panic attacks. A sense of hopelessness and impending collapse may finally force them to seek help
Treatment of theses cases is complex. In the earlier phases very effective work can be done to relieve symptoms and to set the stage for modifying behaviour patterns.
The further advanced the collapse, the more powerfully entrenched the underlying programs are - and the more separated the individual is from feedbacks needed to manage themselves.
Their systems have become chaotic. They have been responding to extreme signals generated beyond safe limits - excluding important awareness which would have kept them within a tolerable behaviour envelope.
Sufferers are unable to relax in any proper sense - nor can they assess what are normal and sustainable levels of activity. Habituated to artificially high tempos - the options often seem seem dull and under-stimulating.
They often find it difficult to accept a proper recuperative regime. Even those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( ME ) often try to use the recovery phase to get back on the pace before energy reserves have been restored properly.
Such conditions usually require determined cognitive, hypnotic and psychotherapeutic work and a powerful process of re-education.
These re-connect the individual with true feedback from his own system and re-install a properly connected sense of self.
Released from the old damaging patterns individuals can then recuperate and follow effective behaviour programs correctly attuned to their needs, capabilities and safe limits.
This is not necessarily a lengthy process. Five to ten sessions is normal. The time to full recovery is determined by the severity of the condition and willingness to co-operate in the development of a well-structured program.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
Archives For Uncategorized
Today I have been married for 25 years to my best friend. I am a pretty lucky guy to have her stick around that long! Actually, God blessed me with a girl that is far above what I deserved. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
That is an understatement for me! I have found the "best."
Thanks for hanging in there and doing life with me Jennifer. I can't wait to see what the next 25 years brings!
I just had to jump start my van. I went to start it and got the horrid "click of death." It had nothing. No juice. No energy to start. Of course, I already had a busy day scheduled, so this was a slight inconvenience for me. But, as I sit here pondering the situation, I can't help but think that I find myself feeling that way in life. No energy. No power for the day or for a particular task.
The problem? My power source. Just like my van, the source of power was empty and needed replaced. I find myself with no power when I am not connected to the right source: my relationship with God.
When I disconnect from Him, I have no power. I try to do life on my own and quickly find myself in need of a "jump."
Oh that I would stay connected to the true source of power and strength.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

A Tunisian man twice assaulted his teacher wife, Skipton magistrates heard Bilel Ayari, 24, who had met his wife Sally while she was on holiday in Tunisia, assaulted her twice on October 25 in Norfolk Road, Harrogate, and again on November 26 at their home in Kings Mill Lane, Settle.
Ayari, who admitted both assaults by beating when he appeared at court on Friday, slapped and hit his wife, leaving her with a black eye and bruising.
The court heard the couple met in Tunisia in March 2012 and had married there the following August.
Ayari had come to live in Settle in June and there had been previous incidents of disagreements after he had been drinking, the court was told.
On October 25, the pair had argued and Ayari had slapped Mrs Ayari across the face.
He had then returned to Tunisia following the death of his father, but on his return there had been another incident where he had grabbed his wife and hit her across the cheek.
The court heard Mrs Ayari, a teacher, had attempted to cover her bruising and had told colleagues she had hit herself on a chest of drawers.
She had initially said she had been concerned of repercussions but the couple were now reconciled, the court heard.
In mitigation, Mohammed Hussain said Ayari was deeply ashamed and embarrassed about what he had done to his wife and accepted it was no way to treat her.
Mr Hussain said Ayari had struggled to find work, despite searching very hard, had been employed in Tunisia and found it difficult not to be able to provide for his wife.
He added Ayari had been very upset and depressed following the death of his father.
Magistrates adjourned sentencing until January 24 for reports.

Glee's Dianna Agron Apologizes for Looking Awesome in GQ
With concern groups making asinine claims of GQ promoting pedophilia with their latest photo shoot featuring the stars of Glee, Dianna Agron has issued a statement on her blog apologizing for the racy shots. Sort of:
In the land of Madonna, Britney, Miley, Gossip Girl, other public figures and shows that have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans…we are not the first. Now, in perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry. If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?
I was a very sheltered child, and was not aware of anything provocative or risque in the media while I was navigating through my formative years. When I was finally allowed to watch a movie like Grease, I did not even understand what on earth Rizzo was talking about!? I understand that in today's world of advanced technology, the internet, our kids can be subject to very adult material at the click of a button. But there are parental locks, and ways to get around this.
Did Dianna Agron start to make a heartfelt apology only to turn around and jab retarded parents in the eye for not keeping an eye on their kids? — I want this woman. Preferably in the cheerleader outfit she goes on to say she wasn't thrilled about wearing, but let's not get into an argument over the very real and factual consequences of teaching the fairer sex how to read and write. We're talking about love right now.

Pope Francis moves beyond Europe with first class of cardinals
Pope Francis named his first group of new cardinals, often called "princes of the church," last week. The 19 men will be formally appointed next month. Media reports have observed that Francis, the first pope from outside Europe in modern times, chose several cardinals from the developing world.
Francis' immediate predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, selected 90 cardinals over five consistories during his nearly eight-year papacy. More than half of those (52) were from Europe, and the conclave that elected Francis was heavily European. By contrast, just eight of Francis' 19 picks are from Europe and six are from the Latin America-Caribbean region, which is home to 39% of the world's Catholics. Nine of Benedict's 90 cardinals (10%) were from Latin America and the Caribbean.
The job of each cardinal is two-fold – to advise the pope and elect his successor. In 1973, Pope Paul VI set a ceiling on the number of cardinals who could elect the pope at 120. After the age of 80, cardinals can no longer vote in the gathering of papal electors, called a conclave. The elevation of a group of bishops to the office of cardinal takes place at a formal meeting called a consistory. Most cardinals either lead dioceses, or Vatican departments.
In the middle ages, when the church was democratic, priests elected bishops, who elected the pope. Cardinals were simply the priests leading the most important parishes in Rome. Through the centuries, church leaders decided cardinals should represent the growing church around the world.

What ever be the mode of election of pope,
one thing is true pope Francis of course could elevate the church to a solace
for modern world which is thirsting for a value based religion.
Europe and America "one time heart lands" of Christianity has lost their credentials. It is an injustice that majority of the cardinals are still from these lost Christendoms.
For me the most interesting fact herein is that the hierarchy was once elected. The self appointed hierarchy seems to generate corruption that is not tolerable and should be dealt with. Returning to a quasi or even a totally -all the Catholics in their parishes- representative hierarchy would probably lead to consideration of the most needed changes in the church including married priests and women priests. One cannot imagine the self appointed hierarchy making those changes.
And this is exactly what we, in the Ecumenical Catholic Communion (ECC) have done: all clergy are chosen by the laity, and laity + clergy, elect their bishops. We have returned to the model of the early church. Clergy may be married as they were for the first thousand years and they may be women. We have many former Roman Catholic priests who left and joined us, many of whom are married, with families and happily pastoring in their parishes. We govern ourselves via a three-legged stool: House of Bishops, House of Clergy, and House of Laity. Blessings, Rev. Mo. Martha Rogers +, St. Junia's House, Anaheim, CA.

When I am playing some Call of Duty or maybe Halo or more recently Battlefield, sometimes I like a bit of background music. The sound of gunfire and warfare can be jarring on the ears at the best of times so a score of music helps to break the tension. When the music starts, the kills start flowing like a river. Keep in mind that these are in my opinion and I will only being 3 song examples and these artists will be rock/metal due to my preference in this gaming genre (I will cover Hip Hop and Electronic in a Skate top 10). So let us get right into it:
Metallica's angry little brother. Dave Mustaine was originally Metallica's Lead Guitarist until a live fast mentality got him swiftly kicked out. Taking that rage with him, Mustaine went on to start Megadeth. With more line-up changes then the average CoD player's create a class system this band is ridiculously hard to keep track of. Add in Mustaine's love for voicing his sometimes-outrageous political opinions and you have a somewhat unpopular band but a good one none the less.
Notable tracks: Hanger 18, Peace Sells, Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
With A hugely political message and violent hip-hop influenced sound, Rage is perfect for this list. Their songs challenge war and the governments that employ them. Their secret sauce however lies in their funky riffs and ridiculous solos at the hands of Tom Morello.
Notable Tracks: Killing in the Name of, Freedom, Wake Up
As if they were cut from the same stone, System Of A Down also follows the lines of questioning war and politics as well as the inclusion of fast riffs and some fantastic harmonies from the likes of Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian. Although most songs are somewhat serious, some are happy go lucky songs with huge pop influence, perfect for those long deployments.
Notable Tracks: Sugar, Revenga, Suite Pea
Don't let the photo fool you, these guys are alternative metal royalty. With Maynard Keenan's deep and though provoking lyrics and a slick musical ensemble to back it up Tool is one of the most complex bands out there today. With each song frequently changing time signature and dynamic, it is my secret weapon to staying alert.
Notable Tracks: Lateralus, The Pot, Ænema
Before Dimebag Darrel's tragic on stage assassination in 2004, Pantera were massive powerhouses in the metal scene. Phil Anselmo's lyrics coupled with screeching guitar solos from Darrel made for an explosive and heavy dynamic. Best used when rushing opponents on objectives, makes you feel like a total badass.
Notable Tracks: Cowboys From Hell, Walk, Cemetary Gates
Now we are getting heavy. Slayer is one of the heavy hitters of the metal grouping known as "The Big Four". These guys are the definition of fast, whether it be shredding guitar licks or the ridiculous double kick drum styling of Dave Lombardo. Seriously if this guy got on a bike he would win the Tour de France with 2 hours to spare. Perfect for quick Fire fights.
Notable Tracks: Angel Of Death, Raining Blood, Seasons In The Abyss
Lemmy, the immortal man in rock. Seriously this guy never seems to slow down, despite his fast paced Rockstar life. Why is he on the list? Look at him! He is in an army uniform! This guy not only makes good war music, he collects knives and rides around in German war tanks. He more that fits the bill for this countdown.
Notable Tracks: Ace Of Spades, Overkill, We Are Motorhead
Wait a minute...these guys aren't as heavy as the last few bands! Well no but if it were not for this band half of them would not exist. Yes, no band to date has matched the wide reaching influence of Led Zeppelin. It is a lovely feeling to put on some classic rock while flying over the battlefield in a helicopter, or even better while you are in the gunner's seat for that full Vietnam War feel.
Notable Tracks: Dazed And Confused, Ramble On, Black Dog
Notice how I used the old line up? That is because their music of late has not been to my liking. That being said I loved old Korn's music. They really did pave the way for Nu Metal as well as helping to popularise not only the 7-string guitar but also the bagpipes.
Notable Tracks: Right Now, Freak On A Leash, Did My Time
Call me Cliché but these guys make fantastic war songs. I have even read that some real soldiers listen to these guys before battles. These guys are the definition of war music. Some of their most famous albums are based solely on the premise of war. They are heavy, fast, and dirty and that is why they are my go to band when I am being dominated on all flags or when I need that extra push in Team Deathmatch.
Notable Tracks: Master Of Puppets Album, ...And Justice For All Album, Black Album
That concludes the countdown. Remember its opinion and that If I could, I would list hundreds of songs from these artists, but in the interest of time I kept in to three all-time favourites. Feel free to comment with your favourite songs from these artists or others you thought deserve a spot.

Difference between Super Mario and Cat Mario Games
Super Mario and Cat Mario games are almost having the same game-play but Cat Mario game is far more difficult than Super Mario. Main difference between these two games is the playable character is completely different. In Super Mario you have to play with an Italian Plumber with huge Mustaches named Mario while in this addictive game you will be playing with a cute white cat. Difficulty level of Cat Mario is a lot more difficult than Super Mario because there are a lot of booby traps which will kill you for no reason. I suggest you to stay away from everything and don't go for collecting the coin or anything else. If you want to stay alive in this game than take my two words advice, "Keep Running".
If you think you are a hardcore gamer than you must test your skills by playing Cat Mario absolutely free here on Official Website. Cat Mario is a 2d action-adventure freeware single player video game which was initially release in 2007 and originally available for Microsoft Windows & all major Web browsers. Cat Mario known to be the most frustrating game ever on the internet. This game is originally developed by Chiku, who developed it for his college exhibition. Cat Mario was originally known as Syobon Action and is same like as Super Mario 63 but here in Cat Mario, your character will be a cat and there are a lot more booby traps in this game than super Mario. Cat Mario game is almost very similar to famous Unfair Mario which is known to be the toughest game ever in Super Mario Series.
Since the beginning in 1981, when Mario was first introduced to the public in the legendary Donkey Kong game as a side character, Mario's star has risen and he has become the main character in countless Arcade Flash games and console games of all types, ranging from Platform Arcade games to full scale role playing games, racing games and many more popular video games. Still there are new games coming out starring our favorite Super star with the now famous mustache and cap. Mario is still considered to be the most popular character among-st children from around the globe. Mario may be the famous character but here The Cat Mario rules. The games created around this cat is the best known as the most frustrating video games in the history of gaming and his star still continues to rise as new Cat Mario games are expected to be launched soon on consoles etc.
Cat Mario Wiki
Cat Mario is a 2-D action adventure freeware video game based upon Japanese platform. Cat Mario is originally released in December 2007 with the name of "Syobon Action". Reason behind the popularity of this game is it's extreme difficulty. It's levels are designed to cause extreme frustration to it's player by putting some casual looking objects that look harmless but suddenly kill the character. This game have a lot of booby traps which makes this game very difficult to play. This is a fan based custom developed game which resembles to Super Mario Bros but it is far more difficult than the original Super Mario Bros game.
The game stages and platforms are very similar to original Super Mario Bros game but in this game you will play with a white cat. The goal is to complete all the stages by carefully completing each level and try not dying. Cat Mario is consists of a total of six levels full of booby traps that are designed only to kill your cat. These booby traps are like normal looking ground which suddenly drop down and some tile blocks that will suddenly fall upon you when you're passing underneath them. Some where you will find normal looking blocks sprout spikes when you land on them. In some levels you will gone mad when you try to catch the flag just like the original Mario games and then you came to know that this is't a flag but it's a trap. There are a lot more booby traps that you can't imagine. If you need assistance to defeat all levels of Cat Mario than you can visit Cat Mario Walk-through section. Cat Mario is an addictive but difficult game to play. If you are a fan of soccer games than you must play Head Soccer Unblocked, a very amazing soccer game to play online with your friends.
Cat Mario was developed by a Japanese student named as Chiku. He developed the first level of Cat Mario in just three days for the Cultural Festival in his college. After the festival he developed 3 more stages and launched the game. Later he added two more stages and closed it's development. At the end of his college studies Chiku announced that he is not going to develop more stages for this game as he and one of his friend are working on another game which was lately revealed as Unfair Mario.
Chiku designed this game by getting inspiration from a Japanese flash 2-D flash game known as "The Life-Ending Adventure". Syobon Action's music is a collection from other games MIDI renditions. While playing Cat Mario you may feel that this is the sound of "Cheetahmen, Ghost n Goblins and Spelunker.
An open source version of Cat Mario was released under the name of Syobon Action in 2010. This version of game allowed many developers to port it to many different platforms like Dreamcast, Windows Browsers, Nintendo Wii and AmigaOS and many other.

Cat Mario's reviews are generally positive. We've reviewed this game in 5 different aspects which are game difficulty, graphics quality, sound quality, game-play & controls and in the end it's engagement, how engaging this game is. There are too many bugs in this game but still people love to play this game due to it's extreme difficulty. Many people leave positive reviews due to it's trap and kill system. Below we reviewed each aspect briefly.
Game Difficulty
If we talk about Cat Mario's game difficult we will definitely rate it 5 stars. This game is not a piece of cake, you have to spend hours to successfully clear a level. We assure you that if you have not played this game before, you can not complete a single level without dying.
Graphics Quality
Graphics of this game are not perfect but they are pretty amazing. We rate the graphics 4 stars. The developers can do better if we talk about graphics. As we've mentioned earlier, this is a parody of original Super Mario Bros., the graphics are almost same like the original game.
Sound Quality
Sound quality of this game is pretty dumb, so we rated it's sound quality as 2 stars. The sounds in this game are quite annoying. I play this game by turning off the sounds.
Game-Play & Controls
Controls are pretty good but while playing this game you will feel a slight different movement of your character while comparing to your input. We rated this section as 4 stars.
This game is very very addictive unless you defeat all levels. This game is a gift for those, who like to play tough and challenging games. If you are a hardcore gamer and want to test your gaming skills than Cat Mario is a perfect game which will test your skills and patience.

Considering that the phone sold more than 1 million units, the top brass at ZTE felt that it could get an Android 4.1.1 model to market in China faster by relaunching such a popular handset like the ZTE N880E and replacing Gingerbread with Jelly Bean instead of developing a whole new model for the occasion. The only problem is that this decision didn't give ZTE the opportunity to raise the quality of the other specs on the unit.
Running stock Jelly Bean, the manufacturer says that the ZTE N880E is the first handset in China to run Jelly Bean and just the third in the world. ZTE says it will be launching more phones with Android 4.1.1 running the show, although it's not clear if the company is referring to new models or relaunched handsets like the ZTE N880E. No pricing for the Android 4.1.1 version of the ZTE N880E was disclosed.

"ZTE has an excellent relationship with Google and this, combined with our extensive R&D capabilities and our experience of customizing devices for partners around the world, means we are able to bring new technologies to market very quickly. Our aim is to provide the best quality customer experience for the best value, and the N880E is a great example of this."- Mr. Kan Yulun,Vice President and CTO of the Handset Division, ZTE

Paul Negro's mom Letitia was a chef for many years. She was the one who started the first Tisha's Home Cooking that opened in Wildwood back in 1988.
The family lived in South Philadelphia but had a summer home in Wildwood Crest.
Negro helped his mother any way he could, filling in as a waiter for a few seasons, eventually working alongside his mother in the kitchen.
In 1993, Negro bought the restaurant and all the equipment from his mother and moved it to Cape May, where it flourished first behind the convention hall then later moving to it's present location on the Washington Street Mall, as Tisha's Fine Dining.
His latest venture, along with wife Jennifer, is the 5 West Pub in North Cape May, a casual restaurant with great food and plenty of craft beer on tap. And just as he learned at his mom's side, the food here is still "made from the heart."
Tisha would be proud.
Now living in the North Cape May area, Negro recognized the need for a place offering a pub atmosphere, with reasonably priced food, where the locals could come and hangout to get something to eat without having to go all the way to Cape May. The only restaurants around seemed to be serving cheese steaks, pizza, or Chinese food.
"There is really not anything like this around," says Negro. "We thought there was a definite calling for it."
When the property housing the former CJ's came on the market, Negro jumped at the chance to provide something new.
5 West Pub has already built up a regular clientele, mostly based on the family's reputation in the area.
The menu is large, offering something for everyone.
Buffalo shrimp fritters ($11.95) are "really going over big," says Negro. Instead of a frozen product, the kitchen beer batters them fresh, dropping them into the frier for a crispier product, served with spicy blue cheese and celery sticks. Negro describes the kitchen at 5 West Pub as being an "absolutely from scratch kitchen."
Salad selections include a caesar ($8.95); wedge ($9.95); and a Jersey tomato ($10.95). Add grilled chicken to any salad for an additional $4, salmon for an additional $5.
Margherita ($8.95) made with San Marzano tomatoes, is the biggest seller among the 12 inch brick oven pizza. Other popular choices include the chicken gorgonzola ($10.95); Popeye ($8.95); and the barbecue shrimp ($11.95).
All pies are from fresh dough made daily.
Negro says his crab cakes ($18.95) are the most popular menu item and are made fresh daily using plenty of jumbo lump crab meat. Lobster mac & cheese ($19.95), made with a three-cheese blend, is another big seller.
"People just flip out over our crab cakes— they can't get enough," says Negro.
The flat iron steak ($17.95) goes over big and the flounder Franchaise ($17.95) is made using local catch.
More entrees will be added to the menu in the fall. Entrees are served daily after 4 p.m.
A local butcher provides the fresh ground meat for the 10-ounce sirloin burgers including the 5 West ($9.95) made with sauteed onion, jalapeno peppers, bacon, and real cheddar cheese wiz; the Rajun Cajun special ($8.95) is made spicy with slaw, swiss cheese, and Russian dressing; and the Big Blue ($9.95) with bacon, Gorgonzola cheese, pickle, and hand cut fries.
House specialties include a variety of different sandwiches. Served with a choice of fresh cut fries or a spring mix salad, choices include a fried flounder sandwich ($10.95); blackened mahi mahi ($9.95); Italian pork ($9.95) with broccoli di rabe and sharp provolone; and of course, a crab cake sandwich ($10.95).
Desserts are prepared by the pastry chef from Tisha's, and include a flourless chocolate cake ($5.95) and key lime pie ($5.95).
Even the drinks are special — the orange or grapefruit crush drinks are made with fresh fruit squeezed to order.
"It makes a huge difference," says Negro. "We are (also) really getting into the craft beers right now."

common types of pessaries are the Gellhorn and the doughnut. A pessary is used
to support areas of pelvic organ prolapse.
Your doctor will try to find a pessary that fits you. It should not
cause any pain. You may need to try different shapes and sizes of pessaries to
find one that fits you just right.
Your doctor will show you how to take out and clean the pessary and
how to put it back into place. This should be done on a regular schedule. If it
is hard for you to take out your pessary or to put it back into place, you can
have it done at your doctor's office.

US stocks have closed near break-even, clawing back from losses after Dow member Hewlett-Packard's huge charge for a soured acquisition and disappointing results rattled sentiment.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Tuesday shed 7.45 points (0.06 per cent) at 12,788.51.
The S&P 500-stock index ticked up 0.93 (0.07 per cent) to 1,387.82, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite added 0.61 (0.02 per cent) at 2,916.68.
Markets had bounced about two per cent higher on Monday but the momentum quickly faded.
The Dow "spent time on both sides of break-even today, as Wall Street weighed another round of upbeat housing data against ugly earnings and global economic concerns", said Andrea Kramer at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
Computer giant HP plunged 12 per cent to $US11.71 after announcing an $US8.8 billion ($A8.51 billion) charge related to alleged accounting improprieties at Autonomy Corp, which HP acquired in August 2011 for over $US10 billion.
The company posted a $US6.9 billion fiscal fourth-quarter loss and disappointing sales, and warned on the current quarter.
The Commerce Department issued a better-than-expected report on housing starts which hit a four-year high for the second straight month in October.
Moody's credit downgrade of France, taking away its coveted triple-A rating, also undermined sentiment, analysts said.
The downgrade "is a reminder that the eurozone debt crisis has cut to the core of the eurozone", said Patrick O'Hare at Briefing.com.
Stocks, which had opened in the red, fell even more in midday trade as Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke gave a speech at the Economic Club of New York.
"The chairman was clear in saying the Fed was largely powerless to offset the full impact of the fiscal cliff on the US economy," Barclays analyst Michael Gapen said.
Intel was the second-worst Dow performer, down 3.6 per cent in the wake of its announcement on Monday that chief executive Paul Otellini would retire in May and a search was under way for his replacement.
Bank of America led the blue chip gainers, up 1.5 per cent.
Electronics retailer Best Buy plunged 13 per cent after its quarterly earnings missed estimates.
Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate News Corp edged up 0.2 per cent after unveiling a deal to buy a 49 per cent stake in the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network, which broadcasts baseball and other sports.
Bond prices fell. The 10-year US Treasury yield rose to 1.66 per cent from 1.61 per cent late on Monday, while the 30-year increased to 2.81 per cent from 2.76 per cent.
Bond prices and yields move inversely.

2011-12-05 - Initial $10 million investment by ABB leads to a world-class showcase of ABB's smart grid distribution automation technologies in Raleigh, NC facility
This new state-of-the-art Smart Grid Center of Excellence (COE) was created to demonstrate ABB's technology and investment in the smart grid industry. The recent acquisition of Ventyx (a leading smart grid software firm based in Atlanta), investment in research, and the productization of new technology have allowed ABB to become the leader in the modernization of the distribution grid.
The Center has functional systems which display the end-to-end solution where information technologies (IT) and operational technologies (OT) converge to close the loop of automation, control and data acquisition. In addition to the demonstration area, ABB has invested in a Systems Verification Center where the interoperable testing of industry accepted products and development of advanced applications can take place. This new service will allow customers to configure, test and install solutions which will reduce installation time, site acceptance tests and the deployment of new advanced applications.
"As the demand for power continues to grow, and as the electric power grids of today become more complex, they must get smarter to maintain and improve reliability and energy efficiency," said Enrique Santacana, president and CEO of ABB Inc. and region manager for North America. "ABB has always been on the leading edge of power technology, and this initiative reaffirms ABB's commitment to our customers and to playing an even larger role in the development and implementation of today's smart grid."
The COE, located on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University, also houses two other complimentary businesses: Substation Automation Products and Systems. The Substation Automation team recently launched the new Relion® family of ANSI protection and control products.
ABB will operate the Center in collaboration with several North Carolina partnerships, including the FREEDM Systems Center, local utilities such as Duke Energy and Progress Energy, and other local metering and communications companies.
The Raleigh site is already home to ABB's North American headquarters for its Power Products and Power Systems divisions, as well as a major Corporate Research Center focused on advanced power systems technology research. ABB's North American corporate headquarters are also located in nearby Cary.
ABB will host an official dedication ceremony for the Center in January, 2012.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- This spring marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most notorious premieres in the history of classical music, Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. Presented as a ballet with choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, the music deliberately pushed the envelope of harmony, rhythm and orchestration.The audience reaction at the Paris 1913 premiere was ferocious. Arguments broke out, physical altercations, hooting and hollering -- Stravinsky left his seat in the audience bewildered and hurt, and retreated to the backstage wings. The ballet's storyline was written by the composer using ancient Russian tribal imagery, including a famous scene in which a young virgin dances herself to death as a sacrifice to the gods. Everything about this project was intended to shock and the choreography was apparently the most shocking, turning the old mannerisms of ballet on their heads in favor of a style that still looks awkwardly new today. While the audience's reaction was certainly due to the combination of both radical music and radical dancing, it is easy to imagine a similar outburst just for the dancing alone. Stravinsky was not looking to shock for its own sake. He was charting a new musical direction that drew heavily on folk music and deliberately primitive influences. He wanted the music to sound both organic and elegant, an authenticity that was not stuck in a museum case but instead transformed the concert hall into a scene of bloody ritual. Stravinsky had calculated his music to push the boundary of popular taste, but not break it. He expected The Rite to succeed. Wisely, after the first run of performances with Nijinsky's choreography, Stravinsky began offering the work to orchestras as a concert piece -- no dancing. From that point it was widely accepted as a masterpiece. It's important for any businessman -- especially those in the arts and especially those whose business is transformative innovation -- to know his audience, an intimate instinctive knowledge that understands what customers want before they do themselves. In addition to his unerring craftsmanship and imagination, Stravinsky had that keen business sense. Throughout his career he led the style of the day. Other composers, younger ones, perhaps exceeded his innovations, but none exceeded his influence.

Ribery - My future is 50-50
Franck Ribery admits he has still to make a decision on his future at Bayern Munich.
Last Updated: 16/05/10 12:39pm
Franck Ribery admits he has still to make a decision on his future at Bayern Munich.
The Frenchman has been strongly linked with a move away from the German champions this summer with the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona all thought to be keen on securing his services.
Ribery has one year left to run on his current contract and Bayern are desperate to keep hold of their prized asset at the Allianz Arena.
The classy playmaker admits his future is 50-50, but he hopes to make a final decision on where he will be next season after this summer's World Cup finals.
"I still don't know if I will stay or leave. It's 50-50," Ribery told French TV channel TF1. "I hope I will know by the end of the World Cup."
Contract talks
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge remains confident that Ribery will stay at the club and that contract talks will take place after next weekend's Champions League final with Inter Milan.
"We will intensify our talks because I have the impression that Franck wants this decision to be made before the World Cup," said Rummenigge.
"I believe he has felt, particularly in the last few weeks, what affection and what quality this FC Bayern family has.
"He is totally happy here and we will try to turn that into a contract extension."

Dendrobates auratus
Auratus, as they are known in the trade, are another great addition to our list of beginner dart frogs. They are strikingly colored, and vary widely based on populations (and sometimes among the same population). Auratus are easy to breed, keep, and make great group animals, displaying almost no aggression in most situations.
Dendrobates auratus can be fairly reclusive in the vivarium. There are steps you can take to increase their visibility, however. Insure the frogs are provided with a well-planted vivarium, include a thick layer of leaf litter, and provide plenty of visual barriers to make the frogs feel more comfortable. Auratus are often found near small streams in the wild – providing them with a small water feature, such as a pond or stream, in the vivarium will encourage them to venture from their hiding places more often, and will be utilized for breeding activity. Constructing ledges or cracks in the background that auratus can squeeze into (so that their back is in contact with the ledge above them) will make the auratus feel more secure. Most importantly, placing the vivarium in an area of the home that gets a lot of foot traffic will familiarize the frogs to intrusion, and cause them to pay less notice of being observed.
Auratus typically mature around 8-12 months. Depending on the morph, males are generally 1-1.5", with females being about .25-.5" longer. Mature females also display a characteristic pear shape that is apparent when they are carrying eggs. Their call is a faint buzzing that is barely audible unless you are in the vivarium with them! They are easy to breed (with some exceptions), and typically lay 4-8 eggs every couple of weeks. The smaller forms of auratus will lay in film canisters, but all will lay on smooth leaves or on petri dishes under coco huts.
Josh's Frogs offers COMPLETE Dart Frog Kits, which contain everything you need to keep dart frogs happy and healthy. Josh's Frogs COMPLETE Dart Frog Care Kits include an Exo Terra Glass Terrarium, Vivarium Lighting, Live Terrarium Plants, Fruit Fly Kits, and our Tankless Dart Frog Kits.

THIS is how a new housing estate, football clubhouse, AstroTurf pitch and Scout hut could look.
Dishland, which owns the Gas Rec playing field, in Bromley Road, Colchester, will today submit a planning application for the site.
The developer says the 32 houses and 18 flats will save Gas Recreation Football Club and give 8th Colchester Scouts a home for the first time.
Denis Diggin, who runs Dishland, said: "This is something for the community.
"The football club is part of the community here – people want to see it survive.
"Without this, I don't think it would have a future.
"The Scouts have never had a home of their own, so this would be a massively positive change for them."
Mr Diggin bought the land a decade ago for about £320,000.
The homes would be made accessible by knocking down two bungalows Dishland owns in Salary Close.
A drop-off and collection point for Roach Vale Primary School will also be provided.
As part of the plans, Gas Rec will get a new pavilion, an all-weather training pitch and a new first-team pitch.
If planning permission is not granted, Dishland may sell the playing fields.
Mr Diggin said: "The alternative is we shut the gates and everybody loses.
"With the plans, everyone wins.
"We're giving more than 60 per cent of the land back to the community.
"If that wasn't the case, we could have looked at 100 homes.
"There probably aren't too many developers which would offer what we're offering."
The plans have faced stiff opposition from councillors and some residents because the land is not included in Colchester Council's local plan, which sets out where development can take place.

Political satirist Colbert slams President Barack Obama who was sworn in for a second term in a private ceremony on Sunday, before taking an oath in public on Monday.
As all eyes were on President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony, Stephen Colbert argued Obama has become a three-term president. The comedian brought up the subject during a Monday, January 21 episode of "The Colbert Report".
"The president should be inaugurated on January 20," he read an excerpt of the U.S. Constitution, before showing footage of Obama being officially sworn in for second term during a private ceremony Sunday. The re-elected president also took an oath during public swearing-in ceremony on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on Monday.
"While taking [the oath] again today, Obama has made himself a three-term president, serving the second two terms consecutively," Colbert pointed out. "Now to impeach him, we have to get rid of him twice."
He also noticed that one of the three Bibles used by Obama during the ceremony belonged to Abraham Lincoln, claiming the current POTUS tried to to cash in on the popularity of Steven Spielberg's film "Lincoln".
Colbert went on declaring that he would continue trying to stop Obama's agenda. "I am re-inaugurating myself as commander in opposing the chief for an historic second term," he swore himself in while lying on a pile of giant Bibles.

Delaware Alimony and Spousal Support Laws
Delaware divorce courts have discretion to allow alimony to either spouse if circumstances make it necessary. The court will consider all factors on a case-by-case basis. Once alimony is granted, modification can be sought should circumstances change and warrant review of the case.
Types of Spousal Support
- Temporary – may be awarded during the time between filing dissolution papers and final disposition of the case.
- Short-Term – may be awarded for a limited time, generally to allow the grantee time and resources to gain skills or employment.
- Long-Term or Permanent – may be awarded, especially in cases of long-term marriage.
Who is Eligible for Alimony in Delaware
A court may order alimony for either spouse in Delaware only if that spouse is dependant upon the other for support, lacks property to provide for reasonable needs and is unable to be self-supporting through employment or has custody of a child whose circumstances make it necessary.
Delaware Alimony Guidelines (Factors for Awarding Alimony)
The following may be considered, in addition to others in the interests of justice, by the court in determining support awards:
- Resources of the seeking party;
- Standard of living as established during marriage;
- Duration of marriage;
- Age and condition of the parties;
- Contribution toward the education or career of either party; and
- Tax consequences.
Reasons for Termination or Modification of Alimony in Delaware
Alimony in Delaware can be modified only upon a showing of change of circumstances. Alimony automatically ends upon the death of either person or remarriage or cohabitation of the receiving party, unless the parties have a contrary written agreement.
Marital Fault in Delaware
Marital misconduct may not be considered by the court when it is deciding whether to grant or deny alimony.
How Long Does Spousal Support Last in Delaware?
Alimony must not exceed half of the term of the marriage under Delaware law, unless the marriage was long-term, lasting longer than 20 years.
Delaware Alimony Taxes
Alimony may be claimed as a federal income tax deduction by the paying spouse. The receiving spouse must also claim the mandated support payments as income on federal taxes. Discuss the tax implications of your settlement with an attorney.
Find an Alimony Attorney in Delaware
A Delaware attorney familiar with divorce and alimony can help you through the emotional and physical processes. Divorce can be overwhelming. An attorney will help you get through it so that you can move on with living.
