WOW, what a finish to the Houston-LA game!

WOW! What a game.... Rockets - Lakers.
Never count a team like the Lakers out, not while they have Andrew Bynum on their roster.
Unbelievable game.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!

Yao can't be stopped. He's winning the MVP.
All I have to say is:
I tried to put baseball in the NBAs place...DIDNT WORK.
I tried to put the NFL is the NBAs place....DIDNT WORK.
I cant wait to see the first pacers game (even though ill be working,ill tivo it).

Not that it means anything, but an interesting note on our Pacers; the Spurs have the current record for consecutive opening night wins with 11, the Pacers are 3rd with 5.
[sarcasm]I'm struggling to believe future "hall of famer" J.Critt didnt play for LAL, surely they would have won the game EASILY if he had! [/sarcasm]
'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
Animal Farm, by George Orwell
I watch very little baseball but I tend to watch enough just to know who wins (in the playoffs). I watch a little more of the NFL, but again, I'm mainly just seeing who wins - even Colts games I can't make it through a whole game.
But the NBA, I can just sit there and watch for hours and hours - even if I don't have a rooting interest - I can still just watch and watch and rarely if ever get bored. Often I don't care who wins, but I just love to watch the games. And it doesn't matter who is playing - the Hawks vs the Clippers is interesting enough for me to watch the whole game
3-0 on my picks so far.
Tonight's picks:
"I'm not arguing; I'm explaining why I'm right."
Well, I'm glad I stayed up until 1:30 to see the Jack-less Warriors get trounced on opening night. If they win 2 games of the next 6, they should be thrilled, after what they showed last night.
Utah in the past has always started strong. Even the years when they went lotto. I think Sloan's style is so physically demanding (lots of fouling) that it's worn down on their players as the season progresses.
But I think last year they had more depth than in the past, and with Boozer healthy and Deron really improving, they were able to sustain their level of play through most of the season and then into the playoffs.
The Warriors are a better team than the one that STARTED last season, but they also aren't as good as the one that FINISHED the season. They're sort of in another transition period right now, and Nellie has said himself that he's just not sure what kind of team he has on his hands. He says they're too young to be able to judge right off the bat.
Harrington looks like a better player than most of last year. Looks like he's putting a better effort into rebounding the ball, but ultimately I don't think he's a Nellie guy, for various reasons. He's putting effort and showed up lighter just like Nellie told him to, but there are certain little things that Nellie was hoping he'd do better that he just doesn't do that well.
SAS and Walton in the studio is as bad as I figured.
What was the trade that almost went down involving Kobe. Artest ends up in LA
Agreed. ESPN somehow managed to put three of its most obnoxious "personalities" in the same room. I can barely stand it.
The trade discussed was:
Chicago gets: Kobe
Sacramento gets: Ben Gordon, PJ Brown
LA gets: Ron Artest, Ben Wallace
Bill just said the pacers will be better than most people expect.
Props to Walton for giving us some recognition. However, the ESPN team is absolutely horrendous in studio. I cannot stand either one. I actually think Stewart Scott bothers me the most out of the 3. I don't know what it is about him...he tries too hard or something.

From the Polaris idea factory comes a new vehicle with an architecture that is completely new to the company -- and really, to the off-road industry. Polaris calls this single-seater the Sportsman ACE.
The Sportsman ACE features design and operational characteristics taken from Polaris's Sportsman ATVs and from its Ranger and RZR side-by-side. Its revolutionary, sit-in chassis benefits rider comfort and handling. A sit-in chassis means the driver sits down into this vehicle, as opposed to the higher seating position of an ATV.
"The introduction of the Sportsman ACE is part of our strategy to remain the leader in the powersports marketplace by introducing innovative products that define their categories," David Longren, vice president of Polaris' Off-Road Division said, in a press released Wednesday, January 22. "In creating the Sportsman ACE, we wanted to not only appeal to current off-road enthusiasts, but develop a vehicle that brings new customers to off-road recreation. We accomplished this by coupling an easy-to-use, nimble platform [Sportsman] with a confidant and secure ride [Ranger and RZR] that, together, provides drivers of all experience levels a new way to experience the outdoors."
The Sportsman ACE represents a new category for Polaris. It does not replace its ATV, RANGER or RZR lines, but is positioned to complement that line-up. The company believes its new vehicle will not only bring new customers to the off-road industry, but also draw experienced riders looking for new riding experiences.
The vehicle is highly portable. At 48 inches wide, it fits between the wheel wells of full-size pickup truck beds. It has a wheelbase of 61.5 inches.
The driver's seat position and all of the vehicle's major components are positioned between the four wheels for a highly responsive ride, Polaris said. The high-backed seat is adjustable (slides back and forth by 4 inches) and includes a three-point seat belt. Side bolsters keep the operator properly positioned within the vehicle. The adjustable steering wheel has 3.5 inches of tilt adjustment.
The Sportsman ACE has a unique ROPS cab frame previously found only on side-by-sides. ROPS is short for "roll over protection system."
The Sportsman ACE is powered by an all-new 32-horsepower ProStar electronic fuel injected engine and is served by a 5.25 gallon fuel tank. This vehicle has 10.25 inches of ground clearance and 9.5 inches of rear travel due to its fully independent rear suspension outfitted with performance, twin tube shocks.
The ACE has the ability to work on the farm and ranch. It can carry up to 575 pounds of gear and it tows 1,500 pounds. The front rack has 2.8 gallons of semi-dry storage.
Here are other features:
-- 50-watt halogen lights with high and low beams.
-- On-demand true all-wheel drive.
-- Linked, four-wheel disc brakes with braided stainless steel brake lines.
-- Accessories such as doors, front and rear brush guards and rock sliders.
-- Lock & Ride roof, windshield and rear panel system.
-- Pre-wired for a winch with up to 3,500 lbs. of capacity.
The Sportsman ACE is available in White Lightning and will arrive in dealerships in February.
The retail price is $7,499.

Apple has appealed an old billion dollar case claiming Google's Motorola overcharged for FRAND patents in the iPhone.
An Apple attorney says during opening arguments that it's targeting Samsung for litigation because it's Samsung that chose to put the infringing features in its devices, not Google.
The newly granted patent describes a way to attach lenses to the iPhone via a bayonet mount.
Judge Lucy Koh overrules Samsung's request that an instructional video about patents not be shown to the jury because it features Apple products.
Agency's investigation will include questions about whether patent assertion entities coordinate their lawsuits, The New York Times reports.
The patent agreement allows Microsoft to collect more royalties on Google software.
This time around, the iPhone maker has won one in Japan, where a court found that Apple products don't infringe Samsung devices.
The technology would allow users to place sensors around the home to provide a more well-rounded Siri experience.
European Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said he's concerned Nokia might try to leverage its patent portfolio for its own legal good.
Nokia and HTC have decided to put aside their differences, stopping their legal wrangle and maybe even working together.

They have about 4 twenty minute videos to bring you up to speed. It's a cad program, actually, so I can use it for some building projects I do once in a while, plus, I'm going to see what the export is like because I'll probably use it for architecture instead of Blender. They've actually changed the export to collada so there shouldn't be much fuss. It used to be a zipped collada that had to be renamed.

Gerald McClinton experienced the best day of his life on October 9th, 1996 when his daughter Annekah Evelyn was born. The situation leading up to this amazing day was somewhat complicated, as Gerald's girlfriend chose to leave Juneau, Alaska where they were living with her 3 small children, telling Gerald only that she would contact him when she found a new place to call home. Gerald waited on pins and needles, desperate to hear about his baby even before she was born and determined not to miss a day of her life. Finally, Gerald heard from his girlfriend and discovered that she was in Washington, where she would soon give birth.
He quickly packed his things and hopped in his small plane and flew himself down to Washington, never thinking about this move but only feeling his desire to see his baby and experience every day with her. Over the next 7 months Gerald watched Annekah grow and spent his time taking her flying in his small plane, teaching her the things that he loved and loving looking at life through a child's eyes. She would smile every time she saw him and that smile made everything else melt away, it couldn't have been more perfect. She was his life and he realized that there was nothing more rewarding to him than being a father to his precious baby girl.
Sadly, Gerald's time enjoying his child was cut short and everything changed in May of 1997 when Gerald's girlfriend filed a restraining order against him, packed up her things, took her 3 children and little baby Annekah and left, leaving no forwarding address and no way for Gerald to contact her in order to see his daughter. Per the rules of the county, Gerald had to petition for custody of Annekah in order for them to look for her and her mother, which Gerald did. Happily for Gerald, the court awarded him primary custody, recognizing that the restraining order was unfounded and that his love for his daughter and his willingness to do anything to make her smile would make him an ideal caregiver for Annekah. Gerald knew he could provide his daughter with a loving home and a happy life and he relished the chance of enjoying the same by having his daughter with him, watching her grow up. He just couldn't bear to be away from her and desperately wanted to see her again.
It took 6 months for the state's Child Find Unit to locate Annekah and her mother. It turned out that Gerald's girlfriend did what for Gerald was the unthinkable; she fled with Annekah from Washington, where she and Gerald lived, to her home state of Pennsylvania. Now 3,000 miles separated Gerald from his daughter, and all he could do was rely on the courts and the justice system to bring her home to him.
Thus began the worst period in Gerald's life. He felt as though he was fighting for his daughter and for his life. He could not bear being separated from her, and the injustice of it made it that much more unbearable. But the court system in this country is anything but just when it comes to parental rights. Washington state, which had previously awarded Gerald custody, now reversed that decision and gave full custody to Annekah's mother without any sort of due process or hearing. They seemed to feel that since her mother had been taking care of her for the past several months she would do a fine job continuing to do so. It seemed as though they were saying, 'she'll be fine; she's the mother.' But what about Annekah? What about the fact that nothing had changed since their previous ruling awarding Gerald custody other than the fact that the baby was kidnapped by her mother and brought to the other side of the country? None of that seemed to matter to the courts.
The next 11 years were nothing short of painful for Gerald. He fought for his daughter in Washington, he flew back and forth to Pennsylvania and fought for her there. Every penny he had went towards fighting to see his daughter. And her mother did not help the situation. She moved repeatedly, making it difficult for Gerald to even locate where his daughter was living. She returned many of the presents he sent habitually for Annekah for every Birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, or any other occasion that would give him an excuse to reach out to his child. Every time a box was returned, Gerald's heart sank a little further. He sought out various organizations active in attempting to assist fathers with parental rights but was always stopped by red tape. He sends child support money every month to a P.O. Box that has not changed for 11 years but often does not know where his daughter is living or if she even realizes how desperate he is to be a part of her life.
"The next 11 years were nothing short of painful for Gerald. He fought for his daughter in Washington, he flew back and forth to Pennsylvania and fought for her there. Every penny he had went towards fighting to see his daughter."
In a country where so many single mothers wish that their child's father were more interested, more active, more caring, in a country that claims to be about family values and children's rights, it is hard to believe that a father who wants nothing more than to know his only child, to be with her and to watch her grow up, is repeatedly denied his parental rights for no other reason than that he is not the mother. It hardly seems like anyone is looking out for the best interests of Annekah.
There is a whole other half of her family that she has yet to meet that can't wait to get to know her. And yet Gerald tries to remain hopeful. He will not stop fighting, he will not give up. And he figures now that at least he's more than halfway there. He hopes that if he is unable to make progress before then, that when Annekah turns 18 she will seek him out on her own. And when she does he will be there waiting for her with open arms, ready to learn what he has missed out on for the past 17 years. And he has saved all those unopened boxes in his garage, knowing that an easy-bake oven may not be as appealing to an 18 year old as it would've to a 5 year old, but still hoping to let his daughter know that he loves her with all his heart and has thought about her every single day that they have been separated.
He desperately hopes that he doesn't have to wait the next 5 and a half years to see his daughter again but he has had such a long journey already that he knows he can weather the storm if he has to. The question for everyone who hears about Gerald's struggle is not an easy one. Where do we begin to change the unfair and gender biased court system in terms of parental rights? How do we ensure that the child's interests are best served? Sadly, there are more stories like Gerald and Annekah's and while the father surely suffers in such a situation, so too does the child who is denied a father's love.

My deepest sympathies for this. There are more fathers joining in this fight now whereas not too long ago it was nobody listening. I hope you can find some advocacy to help. Have you seen her lately? I hope that she finds this and reads it and knows how much her father loves and misses her....
Thank you for your comment. I too see that more men are trying to continue the fight but it is also occoring to women as well. We need a judicial system that recognizes that both parents are required to impart a value system, self esteem and comfort to a child. If more people were to contact their senators and representatives to petition for more strict interpretations of the laws already in place things could get better. No I have not seen my daughter lately but will continue to try to make contact. I have contacted every state legislator in Pennsylvania and have received notices that they are primarily there to answer to people of their districts. I do hope that Annekah will see this at some point in her life and know that her father loves her more than anything in this life. Thank you for your heartfelt sympathies again and please pass this on to anyone you think might be interrested or can provide some advice.Gerald
I know that you have been trying so hard, for so long to be able to see your daughter again. I pray for you every night, and I know that you WILL be able to see her again. I hope it happens soon, but God has a plan, and you are so deserving for something good to happen in your life.We love you!-Carissa

I always thought buying a sippy cup was just a matter of picking out the cutest cup and going with it. That was before I noticed black mold around the spill proof spout of one of our favorite sippies. Now ease of cleaning is the number one item on my must have list. When dealing with beginning cup users there are many things to consider such as: spout type, handles, size, and shape. Who knew the world of sippy cups could be so complex? What is your favorite style?
Sippy Cups were really hard for me because my daughter (now 11 mo.) was and still is breastfed. She never had a bottle to learn to tip it up and herself back to get the good stuff. I got a single sippy cup from Playtex. It had the handles and the spout that wouldn't leak but my daughter hated it.
She'd get mad when the liquid wouldn't come out from just sucking on it. We tried everything from showing her by doing it ourselve, to forcing her to lean back and tipping it up ourselves. Still she hated it because she didn't want to lean back or have us hold it for her. (She's very much a "do it myself" baby.)
So I went and looked for sippy cups for toddlers that had straws. I found the perfect one at Target by "Nuby" and it has a flip close feature to keep the silicone straw clean, and it's BPA free. It completely disassembles, the straw comes in three parts (soft silicone for them to suck on and 2 harder plastic that goes inside the cup) It's dishwasher safe and comes in tons of great colors, and they have cute decals on some, like lady bugs and Thomas the Train.
Finally! She loves the sippy cup. I was happy that it was so easy for me to clean and after reading about the stages of sippy cups a baby should naturally go from: bottle, to sippy cup, to straw cup, to big kid cup. So since my girl skipped the bottle, why not skip the sippy cup?
We sorta skipped sippy cups. We use them for when we are riding around or anywhere spills are an issue, but our daughter has been drinking out of a regular cup since she was one. Really, I just got tired of trying to find an easy to clean, leak proof sippy cup. It is much easier to let her drink of out of a small plastic cup with no lid. She does great with it and almost never has a spill. We did the same thing with our son. Plus, it keeps us from having an older child running around with a sippy cup.
We went through a ton of different sippy cups and straw cups. I agree that some of them are very hard to clean. I think that my favorites are the Take N Toss cups. They're the plastic ones that are considered "disposable" They're pretty cheap when compared to the others and much easier to wash. We use them over and over until they're worn out and then we get new ones. They actually last for a long time, but the biggest issue we've had with them is when my daughter empties them and leaves them on the floor. If they get stepped on the become misshaped. The other thing is to remember NOT to put the straw in the lid all the way when you place the lid on the cup. If you do the liquid will come up through the straw and leak everywhere. Other than that we love these cups though. My daughter is 4 and I still let her use the straw cups. They have "big kid" styles like Diego and the Princesses and it cuts back on how many spills she has. And when she wants a regular cup on occassion we can just leave the lid off and it serves that purpose as well.
My fave beginner sippy cup are the Playtex. They are not too hard and not too soft (great for when baby starts growing teeth). Also, they are very spill-proof.
I get frustrated by them, but they are a necessary evil I guess. I feel like they don't get as clean as I want them so I end uop buying new ones all the time. The ones with the plastic straw is the same way, because we take it apart to clean it and never match up all the right pieces to the right sippy cups! Just today I bought a new jack-o-lantern one for my daughter. Let's see how long that stays in the mix.
The best sippy cup isn't the best for every child. Do a google search for the best sippy cups. You will find a site that does reviews of the most popular sippy cups on the market. This way, you will find the one that suites you, and your child, the best.
After 4 children, it seems like there really is no "PERFECT" sippy cup. There are ones without parts which are great, but they leak if the children push down on the flexible sipper part. THere are ones with multiple parts that are difficult to clean but don't leak ever...basically I have decided that while sippy cups are necessary, I probably have to change back and forth depending on the stage my child is in. This means buying multiple sippy cups every several months..
Maybe I should consider buying stock in the sippy cup market!!!!

Sean Lowe's season started with 26 ladies vying for his heart (the original 25 plus surprise return Kacie B.), but now that we're at week five, there are only 11 girls standing. Some we had a feeling would make it far, but some have definitely surpassed our expectations . . . who knew wedding dress girl would still be around? We've been sharing the show's funniest and sweetest moments in our weekly video recaps of The Bachelor — watch last week's here — but if you need a quick refresher before tonight's episode, check out the highs and lows of the remaining 11 contestants. Source: ABC Ashlee What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: Her one-on-one date with Sean at the amusement park with the girls from a charity. She told Sean about her troubled past as a foster kid and even made him tear up with her touching story. Low: Getting an attitude when she almost had her date trumped by Tierra's tumble down the stairs. Source: ABC 1 / 11 Catherine What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: Her sweet first kiss with Sean before the rose ceremony. Low: She hasn't had a one-on-one yet and needs to show Sean she's more serious and less cutesy. Source: ABC 2 / 11 Daniella What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: Her handshake in the first episode may have been cheesy, but it got Sean's attention enough to keep her. Low: Not having a one-on-one date. She's still flying under the radar. Source: ABC 3 / 11 Desiree What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: Her date where she got pranked by Sean and still had a great attitude. Plus, it ended with some hot-tub kissing. Low: Getting snippy with Amanda on a group date, which caused Kacie B. to tattle to Sean (leading to Kacie's demise). Source: ABC 4 / 11 Jackie What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: That she hasn't been kicked off despite having only been on group dates. Low: Not getting a date the week of her birthday.

Low: Being the drunk hot mess in a wedding dress in the first episode. Source: ABC 7 / 11 Robyn What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: Having an honest talk with Sean early on about race and whether he dates black women.

Source: ABC 9 / 11 Selma What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: Kicking butt with her Joshua Tree mountain climbing and then sticking to her guns about not kissing Sean due to her cultural beliefs. Low: She hasn't really had a low yet. But the cultural differences and no-kissing rule could complicate things, especially if Sean meets her family, who are against her being on the show.

Four actions every employer wants to see from an intern
- 2 Comments |
- E-mail |
For college students expecting to graduate next year, the job market shows little sign of improving fast enough to help them find entry-level jobs — regardless of which candidate wins the presidential job interview tomorrow. As a result, an increasing number of grads and undergrads are postponing traditional job search activities and aiming instead for internships to help them land their dream jobs.
Last Thursday, the monthly PR for People networking event, hosted by PR maven Patricia Vaccarino, focused on the growing trend of using internships to ensure that companies find the right workers. In a panel discussion called "How to Choose an Intern," two recruiters and a local business owner discussed how an internship can be mutually beneficial for grads and employers.
"Internships are a great way to test the waters," said panelist Anisha Vinjamuri, president of recruiting firm Innovations IQ. "They're good for those who don't have much experience but have the technical knowledge to do the job... By six to nine months you'll usually know whether you'll fit into the company culture."
As one attendee at the event summed it up, "Internships are becoming the new entry-level position."
While the event was geared mostly for entrepreneurs looking to take on an intern, the information discussed also provided a glimpse into the minds of recruiters and employers. According to the panel, here are four actions that internship candidates should take if they want to secure these valuable real-life-experience opportunities:
1) Show your work. Employers want to see potential interns who have made a strong effort to read the job description, know the company and understand the needs of the employers. "It's really an insult not to read up on a company you're applying to," said panelist Annie Searle, principal at ASA Risk Consultants. "Do all the research you can on the company. Do a lot of reading."
Searle always requests a resume from intern candidates listing some basic web and HTML skills, but, most importantly, she wants to see a writing sample. "I need people who can read and write and think," she said. "There are few students who do well in school without having some kind of writing that applies to their studies."
2) Build a referral network. Often, the connections you make early on in school can make all the difference. Some of the most effective tools recruiters use for finding candidates are referrals from instructors in colleges and vocational schools. "We'll go right to the professors at UW and ask, 'Who's your best cost accountant?'" said panelist Tim Rinaker, market manager for the Seattle office of recruiter CampusPoint.
Also, try to develop a rapport with others who have been through the programs before. "When an internship is posted, I often look first to recommendations from former interns," Searle said.
3) Identify your transferable skills. Obviously a lot of intern candidates are either still in school or have just graduated, so very few can boast real-world experience. Those who stand out, however, know how to connect their classroom knowledge with the needs of the employer. "Look closely at the job description," Vinjamuri said. "Show that you at least have had some similar experience in the past at a club or organization during your studies."
4) Be enthusiastic. This goes deeper than just a smile, eye contact and a firm handshake. Intern program managers want to see candidates go the extra mile.
For example, Searle described one intern who was initially not chosen because he did not have enough knowledge of search engine optimization techniques, so he took a three-month SEO internship first and later came back and reapplied successfully. Another student candidate took an internship position even though he couldn't get course credit through his school. "He didn't care," she added. "He just wanted to get that hands-on experience."
"Candidates at the entry level need to be very proactive," Vinjamuri said. "Keep sending emails and be persistent. Make sure you send a cover letter that says something specific about you. Emphasize the passion that you have for the work."

People shouldn't expect their internships to roll into full-time employment. I made this mistake. I should have been networking with my co-workers so that they could recommend their former employers or other places they'd considered for employment.
In this economy, internships ARE the new entry-level position. That means that it's a test, just like the article implies. There are companies that are taking advantage of "free labor" by hiring many interns -- but I think those are the minority. Most companies inviting interns in really do have a need for extra help, and if you are terrific, then you will have a job. Those who won't take an internship that is offered are really missing the boat. I just offered one to someone 8 weeks ago, and I can tell you, if she had taken it, she would have had a job today. But she had not been hired by her last internship employer, and so she was not willing to "work for free" anymore. Although I can appreciate that, it was really short-sighted on her part. When you are without a lot of full time job experience, and you are offered the chance to work, you should do it.

Toledo >Bars & Clubs > Six Pack On The River
2605 Broadway St, Toledo, OH | Directions 4360941.618914 -83.576679
Neighborhoods: Beverly
now Known as "Clamdiggers" – This place and all the places "Kip" owns.... Six Pack: Reynolds, Club Soda..... are horrible.
At Six Pack an underage 18 year old was working there serving alcohol and even drinking it from time to time at the bar. They never had enough beer on tap or food to serve. Not to mention their food was never cooked and their beer was never cold. The "manager" Jason is/was a drunk loser. He could care less about his dads company and would leave when he was suppose to be working to go have wine with his friends. They never were able to pay their employees and when they did they did not pay the the right amount and some of them where paid in cash.
They hire bartenders and servers and get rid of the nice, pretty, knowledgeable ones but keep the trashy lazy ones around. Who smoke weed during their shift and smoke behind the bar after hours. Everyone who works their hands out free drinks to their friends allllll the time... no wonder the place makes noooo money.
They just need to give the bar away to owners who want to own a bar and take care of it and actually work for a living.

Dallas >Food & Dining > Walrus Restaurant & Bar
1914 Laws St, Dallas, TX | Directions 7520232.783601 -96.806011
Tuesday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Historic District
worst bar in the df dub – Door guys think they are working the entrance of an important Hollywood club for starters. Music is average. At first thought it had potential in the beginning....I mean, if you like being associated with the washed up West Inn. Take that bar, give it a new owner, move say 3 miles down 75 N , add a new fragrance and Boom! On a positive note - Great place to go and look for some strange if you become extremely intoxicated prior to your arrival.
Nice and simple – The place isn't very fancy but it gets the job done.
I forgot which night I went but it was a blast. Great music, good dance floor; my friends enjoyed ourselves. It won't get bumping till like midnight though. No cover. Ya I'm a guy so that means no cover for everyone, haha.
One Month Wonder – I've never seen a bar with such an identity crisis. What is it, please someone tell me! Is it a metro/gay sportsbar/nightclub/restaurant? As usual in our fickle city everyone goes to the new place to be seen, and in most cases, such as this one, we only arrive to be let down. Few bars in this city have really wowed me, and this one is definitely not one of them. I don't want to completely down grade them, its just not the upscale late night lounge or club that the ownership/management thinks or wants it to be. I read they were supposed to have the hottest staff in town and was totally let down in that department. The napoleonic muscle head with an attitude behind the bar didn't exactly strike me as one for that category. I will say there were some good looking cocktails that were nice, but thats everywhere in this city. The cocktails in this city are easily comparable to Vegas or L.A., which goes without saying. I am rather confused as to the voting on citysearch, though. Its not a bad bar, but definitely not indicative of such honors and reviews. I wouldn't give it such a strong score but who am I to say. I think I will stick with my current stock of bars and nightclubs.
can't understand why anyone would ever go there – Honestly, the interior looks like a broken down saloon. Horrible worn out wooden chairs, tables, walls, bar, floors. I felt like i was in a low budget Clint Eastwood film. Seriously! A little bit of money to modernize the interior sure would help this place. It was hard to find, and the staff were unattentive and inexperienced. Can't really see this place staying open for longer than a few months.
"If you have a pulse and don't $uck at life, this bar welcomes you," ...Envy Magazine – I don't know what more one could ask for in a local hangout. You have flat screens and projectors to watch your college or NFL team, great food to keep your stomach happy, an awesome DJ to dance to at night, oh and did I mention the crowd, ya its the hottest around!
Friday's are the night to be there. Don't be scared!
not so much – How can anyone get a drink in this place? I waited forever and there was no one who care. The price were to high also.
love it! – anyone can have a good time at Walrus....it is great place to sit and talk if thats what you are in mood for, watch a game, grab a bite to eat and if you are in a dancing mood come by Thurday thoruhg Saturday night and DJ Chris Tracy will definately show you a good time....if you like to have a good time with cool people...GO TO WALRUS
Great Waittress, Horrible Place – The only thing positive about this place is our group had a very nice and attentive waittress. Otherwise, this place is a real downer. Forget trying to even get a drink from one of the bartenders. They are more interested in talking to each other or chatting with their friends. The drink prices are unbearable. I have been there twice. I went there the first time on a social club function, and the place pretty much screwed us over, even though we brought 100+ people. They promised these great drink specials, but once we showed up they completely forgot about the deal. No big deal, but if you are just opening up, you would think you would go out of your way to accomodate or please your new patrons. So, I thought it may have been a fluke, so I returned to give this place another shot. Same thing. Apparently, the owner of this bar has many friends, yet they think they own the place since they know him. So good luck trying to have a peaceful time. And if one of the buddies is by the bar, you might as well go to another bar, because you are not going to get a drink at this place. This place is a one second wonder and will be out of business in a couple of months. The prices are comparable to Ghostbar, and I would suggest you go there instead. Plus this bar is right next to the police depot in West End. (great location) Also, don't even try to get a cab because there are none around. And don't ask the valets, because they won't help. This review may seem a bit biased, but ask anyone who has been once and they will tell you the same thing. This bar can't decide whether it wants to be a Upper Crust (Ghostbar, Medici) bar or whether it wants to be a sports bar. I guess they figure they can do both, but I am here to tell you that it is not working. The owner should have just saved his money and thrown a house party ever weekend for his friends, because that is what this place is like.
Something for everyone! – Beautiful people? Check! Good drinks and reasonably priced? Check! Large patio? Check! Good DJ? (and possibly the best in Dallas)? Check! There really isn't much this bar doesn't have. For only being around a few short weeks, this bar has already proved it's going to be around for quite some time! I reccomend this place for the food, dancing, and even watching sports. They've got a DJ on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and even have 99 cent mimosas and 2 dollar bloody mary's on Saturdays and Sundays. This bar truly rocks!!
West End bar covers it all, with flat-screen TVs, kitchen for snacks, primo downtown address, and seven-day-a-week availability. – In Short
Next to the World Aquarium, this 5,500-square-foot venue sports a burnished wood interior, inherited from an Irish pub that was a previous tenant. Amber lamps inject a homey note. A deck wrapped around the exterior grants a fine view of the street. NFL and college sports are displayed on 10 flat screens and a projection screen above the fireplace. On weekends, downtown denizens meet West End wanderers on the dance floor as the DJ spins.

"I ordered my cards on a Monday evening and they arrived Thursday morning! Such great service! I thought regular shipping to Canada would be slow but was pleasantly surprised. My postcards look and feel fantastic. I am proud to be mailing them to my family and friends. Thank you."
"I love the way these turned out. simple, clear, easy to read. I was a bit nervous as one review I saw said there was a problem with the envelopes. Mine were fine. I got the rectangular style and the cards fit perfect. I have gotten several compliments on the cards."
"The background of this announcement reminds me of the town we are moving too. It's a perfect setting to announce our new address to our family and friends. The paper quality is top notch. I just love how the pearl finish added just enough pizazz without going overboard. Very happy with the overall results!"
"liked the black print I chose against the pastels. I should have given more attention to line spacing, looked a bit cramped to me but not to anyone who received the card. all favorable comments from family and friends."

A product doesn't have to be expensive or ground breaking to leave a lasting impression. Case in point, some of my favorite gadgets at the CEDIA Expo were simply those that happened to strike my fancy at the moment… that made me smile … that made me wish a had some cash on hand to buy it right then and there, for no other reason than pure impulse.
Black speakers, white speakers, even red speakers are so ho-hum. But hot pink? Those I have to have. They'd look awful in my living room, I'm sure, but what a conversation starter. There's even an iPod dock on the top. From Earthquake Sound. $499/pair
I don't own an iPad … yet, but when I do, I'd like it to live on this bean bag mount from Salamander. About $100
I can't hang a picture straight, so a flat-panel TV? No way. This nifty mount features a built in bubble level so that even unstable hanger-uppers like me can their flat-panel TVs situated perfectly straight. From Level Mount, starts at $19.95.
An edible 7-foot remote—who can resist that? Especially when it's made by Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss from TLC. Elan Home Systems celebrated at its booth at CEDIA with a cake made to resemble its H2 handheld remote. The touchscreen part of the remote was fully operational, and when we were done admiring it, we ate it.
Sony is serious about high-resolution audio, but not necessarily at high prices.
Elan g! smart home system combines home theater and control for free-agent offensive lineman.
One of these outdoor subwoofers help put the boom into your backyard music.

Before deciding to be a designer, I quite saw myself as a farmer.
The Vauxhall City Farm with its riding centre, ducks, pigs, goats, rabbits and cows is about as much farm as you can get in central London and it was good enough for me.
I cannot say that I am still so interested in spending my weekends cleaning out animal muck, but I really like the fact that only minutes away from the...more

Amyloidosis refers to a group of disorders in which protein fibers are deposited in tissues and organs, harming them.[1] AL amyloidosis, also known as primary systemic amyloidosis, is the most common form of amyloidosis.[2] It refers specifically to cases of amyloidosis where the deposits contain bits of immunoglobulin light chain.[3][4] Signs and symptoms depend on the organs affected by the deposits, which may include the tongue, intestines, skeletal and smooth muscles, joints, nerves, skin, ligaments, heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. AL amyloidosis is related to the plasma cell disorder multiple myeloma. Treatment may include chemotherapy directed at the abnormal plasma cells or stem cell transplantation.[1]
