That's what the Stanley family must figure out in "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and eager Spanish Springs High School students will act out that scenario starting tonight in their performances of the 1939 stage production that has been adapted for radio, film and television many times.
"The Man Who Came to Dinner" is a three-act comedy by Moss Hart and George Kaufman. It's set in the 1930s and begins when famous radio host Sheridan Whiteside comes over to the wealthy factory owner Ernest Stanley's house for dinner. After he trips on their doorway and injures himself, he threatens to sue the Stanleys for $150,000. Meanwhile, he stays with the family while he recovers and the chaos begins as he manipulates the family to his liking. His secretary, Maggie Cutler, also falls in love with newspaper reporter Bert Jefferson. But to keep from having to replace Maggie, Whiteside hires Hollywood actress Lorraine Sheldon to seduce Jefferson and all hilarity ensues.
The Spanish Springs student actors were very comfortable in their roles during one of their final dress rehearsals on Tuesday and not at all afraid of the stage.
Derek Armstrong, who plays the eager Jefferson, is fit for the comedic role.
"I'm basically a newspaper man who falls in love with the main character, Mr. Whiteside's, secretary, so he hires a famous actress to seduce me – which works (and) which is what the whole play is about, him trying to cover it up," Armstrong said.
The tall, blonde-haired junior said his part gives him great material to deliver.
"I love the voice I get to do," he said. "All of his lines are really funny. He's drunk and comes in drunk at the beginning of act three. I do have lipstick kisses all over me. We won't discuss it."
Armstrong also played Michael in Spanish Springs' previous production of "Peter Pan" and it was his favorite role, he said.
"I wore powder-blue footie pajamas," he said.
In contrast to Jefferson, Krystal Kuehn, one of the play's leading ladies, performs as sensible Cutler, the only one who can stand strong against Whiteside, Kuehn said.
"(Whiteside and Cutler) have been together for 10 years," Cutler said. "...She's basically the more feisty secretary. In some ways I can relate to Maggie with dealing with different people. She seems to be the most mentally stable in the cast."
The cast includes other characters who quickly become Whiteside's "pawns," such as Matt Bidart's Dr. Bradley.
"Dr. Bradley is a naive and well-meaning doctor guy who's written this book and wants (Whiteside) to read it, but Mr. Whiteside thinks Dr. Bradley is an idiot and uses him to get what he wants," said Bidart, a junior.
Of course, there'd hardly a play to put on without the Stanley household's upset, Whiteside, played by James Croy. Croy sits in a wheelchair while masterfully using the characters at his every beck and call.
"Everybody loves him but he's secretly a gigantic jerk," he said. "He basically ruins (the Stanleys') lives by telling their children to run away and tells their servants to get away from them. ...He's really witty and can be really mean and can be really nice when he wants to, but he doesn't want to."
Croy said he likes his retort to everything and enjoys how it was written.
Michelle Bidart, a parent volunteer and the mother of two student actors, Matt and Katie, said the cast has worked hard since September to put the production together. She said some of the 1930s humor, however, may be lost on some of the students who attend.
The cast also included student technical crew members who learned about make-up and costumes in the process, borrowing some of the characters' clothing from Truckee Meadows Community College and showing thriftiness in other ways.
"I think we keep Savers in business," said Katie Bidart, a freshman who plays June Stanley in the production.
The play's director is Spanish Springs drama teacher Sara Bogard, an experienced artist with her own dance company in Reno called A Wing and a Prayer. She's watched the kids go from being a little nervous to showing excitement about the performances.
"When I first started, they were afraid to do character acting and make-up, graying their hair, but now they're really getting into it, so they don't mind making themselves look older," Bogard said.
The audience will also enjoy a performance of "Silent Night" by the Shaw Middle School Choir, courtesy of Shaw's choir director Heather Miley.
"We're so grateful to offer this play to the community," Bogard said.
"The Man Who Came to Dinner" is inspired by a real-life experience Hart and Kaufman had with a theater critic who launched the Marx Brothers' career but also showed the same obnoxious qualities Whiteside portrays. The play debuted in 1939 at the Music Box Theater in New York City. It was adapted for film, radio, television and as a Broadway musical, with many well-known actors throughout the years, such as Bette Davis, Jack Benny, Gregory Peck and Orson Welles starring in the different versions.
The play will be performed tonight, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Spanish Springs High School theater. Admission is $6 for students, seniors and Washoe County School District staff and $8 for adults.

I admit I haven't read Blue Sheep Reverie (the news about the editing doesn't exactly encourage me to pick it up either), and I apologize about possibly derailing the thread, but what I'm wondering is, why are graphic titles such as Maiden Rose and Tyrant Falls in Love licensed under the June imprint instead of 801 Media? (Kizuna as well, though that was already covered in another thread, and the June release can only be better than the overall awful one by BeBeautiful.)
I don't want to panic about edits that haven't happened yet, but these titles are considerably more explicit than most that have been published under the June imprint, and even some titles published under 801 Media (I haven't read all 801 releases, but out of the ones I own and love, the two Touko Kawai titles are fairly tame compared to volume 1 of Maiden Rose IMO). As a fan of the series, I'd like them to find new readers and sell as well as possible, but more than that, I'd like to see them published as close to the original versions as possible.
Tyrant is a long awaited fan favorite, that many of us have been waiting to buy in English ever since DramaQueen licensed it and failed to deliver years ago. Maiden Rose has a recent anime adaptation. And as amazing as the manga is, it's hardly a mainstream title that's suitable for everyone. Both series have an established fanbase, that would be very upset at any editing and censorship.
I prefer June releases over 801 Media personally, but being able to buy and read my translated manga unedited and uncensored is so much more important to me than the imprint.

Do those have 100% unaltered intimate scenes? Do I have to buy the original books just to make sure I have what the manga-kas there intended? I always just assumed that I have the original artwork for those books, but now I have my doubts.
I have a friend who mentioned noticing that either Fake Fur or Manic Love was similarly edited (bodily fluids removed from a sex scene), but I only have the June releases myself and can't actually confirm this. It'd be nice if a June representative could confirm or deny, or better yet, give us a list of all of the titles that have been edited.
I'd personally like to avoid buying any edited releases in the future.

Part of the Steeltime Men's Collection. Made in China.
The nearly-indestructible and masculine nature of stainless steel is appealing for many jewelry styles. It has a similar appearance to platinum and polishes to a glistening sheen. Any scratches that may occur from day to day wear can be easily buffed away without endangering the piece. Unlike traditional gold, silver or platinum jewelry, stainless steel jewelry is not poured into molds, but is usually hand-cut from a solid piece of steel, leaving no seams or weak spots. With stainless steel, your jewelry will last a lifetime.
Stainless steel was first recognized in France in 1821 by metallurgist Pierre Berthier. He realized the iron-chromium alloys maintained resistance from acids and recommended their use in cutlery. After several corrosion-resistance related discoveries and patents in Europe and the United States, Harry Brearley in England discovered a modern blend of stainless steel alloy. When it was announced by The New York Times in January of 1915, he was officially credited with the invention of this impressive modern metal.

Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.
GNU Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is intended to be a conforming implementation of the IEEE POSIX Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).
Rodent filemanager is a fast, small, and powerful file manager. Its emphasis is on ease of use for the advanced user, not the computer illiterate. Rodent filemanager (a.k.a. xffm >= 4.6.0) is the next step in the evolution of Xffm, now with a threaded design optimized for multicore processors.
fli4l is a single-floppy Linux-based ISDN/DSL/ethernet-router. It features configuration with some simple ASCII-files, several possible connection-flavors (in/out/callback, and raw IP/PPP), channel bundling (an extra channel can be added through a Windows/Unix-client), configuration of multiple networks, least-cost routing, automatic choice of provider, display/calculation of connection times and costs, and a Windows/Unix client to control dial/hangup, monitor traffic and monitor incoming calls on ISDN (see screenshot).
Zenity is a tool that allows you to display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog, but is intended to be saner. It comes from the same family as dialog, Xdialog, and cdialog, but it surpasses those projects by having a cooler name.
The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD projects and Android. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, zsh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.
Tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell. It is a command language interpreter usable both as an interactive login shell and a shell script command processor. It includes a command line editor, programmable word completion, command and file name completion, listing, spelling correction, a history mechanism, job control, and a bunch of small additions to the csh shell itself.
An easy-to-read, HTML-based, mostly logic-less DOM templating engine.
A Java component to create PDF documents.

War has come to Discworld... again.
And, to no one's great surprise, the conflict centers on the small, insufferably arrogant, strictly fundamentalist duchy of Borogravia, which has long prided itself on it's ability to beat up on its neighbors for even the tiniest imagined slight. This time, however, it's Borogravia that's getting its long overdue comeuppance, which has left the country severely drained of young men.
Ever since her brother Paul marched off to battle a year ago, Polly Perks has been running The Duchess,her family's inn -- even though the revered national deity Nuggan has decreed that female ownership of a business is an Abomination (with, among others, oysters, rocks, and the color blue). To keep The Duchess in the family, Polly must find her missing sibling. So she cuts off her hair, dons masculine garb, and sets out to join him in this man's army.
Despite her rapid mastery of belching, scratching, and other macho habits (and aided by a well-placed pair of socks), Polly is afraid that someone will immediately see through her disguise a fear that proves groundless when the recruiting officer, the legendary and seemingly ageless Sergeant Jackrum, accepts her without question. Or perhaps the sergeant is simply too desperate for fresh cannon fodder to discriminate -- which would explain why a vampire, a troll, a zombie, a religious fanatic, and two uncommonly close "friends" are also eagerly welcomed into the fighting fold. But marching off with little (read: no) training, Polly (now called "Oliver") finds herself wondering about the myriad peculiarities of her new brothers-in-arms. It would appear that Polly "Ozzer" Perks is not the only grunt with a secret. There is no time to dwell on such matters, however.Duty calls. The battlefield beckons. There's a tide to be turned.
And sometimes -- in war as in everything else -- the best man for the job is a woman.

It wasn't by choice that Jennifer DeGraff moved out of her house in Crystal Lake last May.
A series of misfortunes, layoffs and a sour job market left DeGraff and her family teetering on the brink of financial ruin.
Seeking a clean slate, the family filed for bankruptcy and abandoned its house, essentially giving it back to the bank.
"It was really, really hard," DeGraff said. "That's the only house my kids have ever known."
DeGraff's husband found a job in Texas, a steady income and a fresh start that included help from an extended family living in the area.
Before leaving Illinois, DeGraff tied up a few loose ends.
On May 2, she called Nicor and canceled service to her former home. Because she had been on a monthly budget plan and was up-to-date with her payments, DeGraff had a credit in her account.
In early June, Nicor sent her a check for $129.49, reflecting what she had overpaid prior to canceling service.
All seemed fine until November, when the gas company sent her a bill for $92.86.
Confused, she called Nicor. DeGraff said a representative told her that the mortgage company had called and asked the utility to turn the gas back on. A supervisor at Nicor agreed, and service resumed, she said she was told.
Because the mortgage company had not yet taken possession of the house, DeGraff was still the owner of record, and thus was responsible for the new charges, she was told.
"I explained to (the representative) that we had canceled service and their supervisor had no authority to reinstate service," DeGraff said.
The Nicor representative told her to fax proof of her bankruptcy proceedings and promised to clear up the situation, DeGraff said.
But in early January, Nicor called to say the information she had submitted was insufficient and that the charges continued to grow, at the time totaling more than $150.
When she emailed What's Your Problem? on Jan. 9, DeGraff said she had already filed a complaint with the Citizens Utility Board but was unsure what else she could do.
DeGraff said she doesn't understand why Nicor reinstated her service after she canceled it.
"ComEd didn't give me a problem," she said. "Neither did the garbage company. It's just Nicor. It's like you're trying to talk to somebody who's not speaking your language. I'm completely and utterly flabbergasted, because I canceled my service."
She said it should be up to her, not Nicor or the bank, whether she chooses to continue her gas service.
The Problem Solver called Nicor spokeswoman Annette Martinez.
The next day, a Nicor representative called DeGraff and said the utility would shut off the gas and erase the accrued charges.

I have two students named Katherine/Catherine and neither gets called by any of the common or uncommon Catherine nn. Full names all the time. And I teach high school, which means they have made it through 11 years of school without a nn. Most teachers ask students if they prefer a nn or a full name, in my experience. So therefore, yes, I would use a name even if I hated the nickname because I think it's possible to have most people call the child by the full name.Little Bean arriving September 2014

More of my students (in college, none the less) seem to be going by their full names, so there is hope as long as the child is on board, as dindlee noted in her post. As for me, though, Nikolai is out the window because I don't like Nick, and Nikolai is in good company with many other names that I tossed out due to nicknames.

I feel like most people will respect your wishes if you tell them to use his full name. However, there will be people who will repeatedly ignore you and call him whatever they want to. I'm Alexandra and go by Alex, either of which is acceptable. I had a coworker that called me Al. I told her over and over that I didn't like it, then just stopped responding when she called me that and when I left that job 2 years later, she was still calling me Al.

How annoying. I would have probably had a few names for her myself if I'd been in your shoes. Ridiculous. My name is Erica, and I've had people try to shorten that (Eri, Ric) but they've always called me Erica when I request that they do so.Artemis Willow ☀ Cordelia Avalon ☀ Isabeau Forest ☀ Isadora Nightingale ☀ Lorelei Ondine ☀ Lyra Snow ☀ Pandora Everild ☀ Tabitha Eilonwy ☀ Thisbe Wildrose ☀ Thora Silmarien

Thanks Adam. That is mildly frustrating, especially since has_many :through is such a common association. I'm thinking that using after_save would be less efficient in my case. I need to be able to set a single join model attribute based on a form drop down selection. As such, wouldn't it be more efficient to just create the join model records manually? Or maybe a before_save instead. I'm not sure which would result in the fewest database transaction.
I have yet to find a good, full example on best practices when using a has_many :through association. For example, I'm still a bit uncertain about validation (record uniqueness), how best to set up the form for adding/editing, etc. I'm working on writing the code to handle the following, but am sure there are best practices or good working examples for these that I'm just not aware of.
Anyhow, I'm going to go toy around with this a bit, but below is what I'm trying to accomplish. I'll post more of the code as I finish rewriting it. Thanks.
Have a form with single-select drop downs for software and software status and a multi-select box for systems the software is on.
On submit, add selected software to the current ticket (through the HABTM association)
On submit, add selected software to the selected system(s) (through the HM:T association)
Force uniqueness on (#2 and #3) in the database (so not using :uniq), using flash[:notice] to notify user
Setup the add/edit form in a logical way.
Allow for editing existing software/system and software/ticket records
Allow for deleting existing software/system and software/ticket records
By intermediate attributes you mean attributes on the join model? If so, then the post you read is correct. There is no way to directly set attributes on the join model when you use << with a has_many :through association. This is indeed frustrating. The solution depends on your domain model and what you want to set, but you can often get the behavior you want by using after_save or after_create. Rails creates the join model when saving the association, at which point you can modify the join model as you see fit.
If after_save doesn't work for you, then you can create the join models explicitly, as you said.
I searched for hours for a way to use << with a has_many :through association and set the intermediate attribute, until I came across a post that said setting intermediate attributes is not possible with <<< as a result of the has_many :through association, that it would defeat the whole purpose of having a has_many :through (intermediate attributes) if << didn't allow them to be set.
Am I missing something? What is my best option? Should I just create an "add" method that simply creates a new join model record w/ the necessary values set? How can I do something like this?
@system.software << @software, {:status_id => '1'}

I love Tai Pei! I order at least once a week and the food is always consistently fresh, hot, fast, and delicious. Their sushi is good too and their waiters are always so friendly. Nelson is my favorite- he is so nice and always knows my order when I come in for lunch and dinner. Simply the best eggrolls in the world!
Smith, Party of 9 – My mother has been dining at Taipei for over 10 years and loves to go often. I had planned on taking her to another restaurant where I had made reservations, but Mom wanted only Taipei. Without reservations, we walked in to a packed house looking for a table for 9.
We were told it would be a 30 minute wait, but was surprised when we got seated in about 10. Dinner was exceptional! We ordered Sushi and Chinese, with the best being the Japanese Oysters and the Surf and Turf. Even though it was busy, the server was quick and polite and the service was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed the night as we had plenty of food to take home for lunch tomorrow. The manager even stopped by to make sure our meal was going well even though his leg was in a cast. He was charming and funny and entertained the kids while us adult finished our meal!
They did all the little things that you don't see anymore in restaurants and I sure am glad Mom made us go there. I am definately going to be a regular there now!
These chinks are rude! Watch out! – Every time I order they are really rude (which causes me to order a lot less). The food is average at best. I called the waiter a slope when he brought out the wrong soup.
Disgusting, foods are just so so with high price. – A year ago, I saw a worker leaving restroom without washing hands after peeing and entering kitchen at this restaurant. I complained about this to a lady at the count. She looked very serious about this. Because of this experience and mediocre food, I have not been at this restaurant for a long time. On Christmas, there were few restaurants that opened. Tai Pei was one of them. I didn't have much choice. At this visit, I saw a sushi chef doing the same thing again - not washing hands after peeing!
Disgusting. Foods are just okay but expensive for quality.
Great Food and Friendly Owners!! – The Owners came over and ask how was everything. We said everything was good as always. Then we ask them do they know Jimmy Wan. They were like who is Jimmy do we know Jimmy? I was like the owner Jimmy! Then they were like yes Jimmy he was Managing the Restaurant and had 30% shares BUT he wasn't the ONLY OWNER. The reason that he is no longer here is that he was using company check like personal check. I was like WOW everyone thought he was the only Owner here.I guess he was not the only owner then. I think you guys did a great job here. Upgrade a lot of stuff and I love your BIG screen TV's. I'll have to come in on Sundays now to watch Steeler Games. Once again Great food and friendly people down there.
former 5 star now 2 star restaurant – A year ago, I would have given Tai Pei 5 stars but something is terribly different! My husband always orders the General Tsaos and Tai Pei made the best. Now it had a different flavor and it wasn't a good one. The bbq spareribs lacked any flavor and the egg rolls were mushy. I'm not sure if we will go back.
Good Chinese, not such good sushi – I went to Tai Pei last weekend. The atmosphere was nice and we were seated in a nice secluded booth in the corner. Our waiter Martin was a nice guy. My miso soup was delicious - it had onions and mushrooms added to the normal tofu, seaweed, and green onions. My mother's dish of shrimp with mixed vegetables was also great. However, I ordered the Sushi Plate and the quality slowed down. The fish, while fresh, did not taste great. It was the rice that really turned me off; it was warm and not very soft. The prices were higher than other quality sushi restaurants. While I may go back for some good Chinese, I will most likely not give the sushi a second try.
Best Sushi!! – My friends have told me that they have new sushi chef's there and should go and try it. We went there friday night with my family and they were busy. We had to wait about 10 mins for our table to be ready. We order a Sushi Boat and 3 Special Rolls(American dream Roll, Lobster Roll and Phoenix Roll). It was the best Sushi we had. We Highly recommnded everyone to go and TRY IT!!
BEST CHINESE FOOD, YOU CAN COUNT ON! – I"ve been eaten this restaurant for over 10 years since I was teens. I love their food so much and my friends all love TAIPEI. I usually have take out order. Few years ago, I placed order through the phone and I came down to pick my order up, when I was paying the money, the old guy sit inside the counter and when he was receiving my money, suddently, I heart "POO~" He farted in front of me who picking up the food and going to eat soon~, I felt very ~!!!!!!!. I don't know how to say it!!!!, I paid my money and escaped from that old guy. It has happend to me twice, I don't know other customers. Recently I heart the owner has been changed, the old guy disappeared, now I don't need to worry to hear "POOOO~". Their food still same as before, NO! better then before and the service is great, fast. NOTHING CAN BEAT THEM!
I love TAIPEI CHINESE RESTAURANT!
The person below me just can not enjoy his(or her) life, he(she) wrote down many bad crticism in many stores. CRAZY PEOPLE!
bad service & problem w/ communication. – i recently placed an order over the phone for pick-up. i asked for chicken fried rice and chicken & broccoli. then i asked if they had spring rolls. the man on the phone said yes. i asked is it made w/ just VEGETABLES 3x he said yes 3x. i asked you are positive that there is no meat especially SHRIMP in it. HE SAID YES I AM POSITIVE NO SHRIMP. so i ordered a spring roll. i get my total of 26.00$!!!!! way over priced. pick up the food my roommate tried the SPRING ROLL and she says why is there shrimp in this ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!
i am deathly allergic to shrimp!!!! what would have happened if i had taken a bite first?!
i called them back and tried to tell them what just happened. i could not understand the woman on the phone & she could not understand me. eventually she figured out what i was saying and offered me a FREE SPRING ROLL the next time i came in.
needless to say i will never go there again. the food was terrible! the chicken was all fat and gross.
it's not worth it!

Bike racks are available on all Metro Transit buses, METRO Blue Line (Hiawatha) trains and Northstar Line commuter trains.
These tips apply to Metro Transit buses — policies may vary by transit provider.
Step-by-step loading instructions are printed on the rack.
> View video instructions
If yours is the only bicycle:
Always load the bicycle directly in front of the bus or from the curb — do not expose yourself or your bicycle to passing traffic. Hoisting the bicycle by the seat tube and stem provides good leverage and keeps the bike stable.
Do not place the arm on top of a fender or brake — it should be in contact with the tire directly.
If there is already a bicycle on the rack, hoist or roll your bicycle into the available slot and proceed as above.
If the rack is loaded with two bicycles, you may ask the driver if you may bring your bike aboard. The driver always has the discretion to determine whether or not your bicycle can be safely accommodated on that trip.
Notify the driver that you will be unloading your bike.
Exit the bus through the front door.
Unload your bike by simply reversing the loading procedure.
If yours is the only bicycle on the rack, squeeze the handle and return the rack to its upright position.
Return to the curb with your bike.
Never cross in front of a bus — wait until the bus has left the stop.
Hop on and pay your fare. There is no additional charge for your bicycle.
If possible, sit near the front of the bus where you can check on your bike.
If the driver determines that you can bring your bicycle inside the bus:
Check balance/transaction history for Go-To Cards and passes and add value.
Simply choose your route, direction and stop - NexTrip will list up
to the next 10 buses that will be departing.> About NexTrip

If you have diabetes, chances are you are already taking cholesterol-lowering drugs or realize that they might soon join the list of your other medications.
You're also likely to be especially concerned about the possibility that members of your family or some of your friends are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That's why you might want to recommend that they take a VAP (vertical auto profile) test, an easy-to-obtain, do-it-yourself test that gives a remarkably accurate assessment of the risks a person is running for heart disease or diabetes.
The test, introduced in 2003, measures 15 separate components of blood cholesterol, compared to three in a standard cholesterol test. It has also been shown to identify more than twice the number of patients with lipid abnormalities than the standard lipid panel in a conventional cholesterol and triglyceride test.
Because of its level of detail, the test often helps doctors uncover hidden threats to patients, such as low HDL2, high triglycerides, and small, dense LDL–all factors in metabolic syndrome, the precursor to adult-onset diabetes
The test also gives doctors and clinicians the level of detailed information they need to better assess, manage and lower heart disease risk in type 2s. Here's a sample test result.
You can order the VAP through your doctor's office, at most clinics or directly through HealthCheck USA. Medicare and most private insurers cover its cost. Click here for more information.

Brooklyn >Food & Dining > Vinegar Hill House

Sat 11am-4pm, 6pm-11:30pm
Sun 11am-4pm, 5:30-11pm
Neighborhoods: Vinegar Hill
Secluded, rustic, and romantic (it's in an area so secluded you can hear birds chirping outside), Vinegar Hill House doesn't seem likely to have great food. After all, why bother? But the food is, amazingly, the main reason to go. The wood oven is, for once, used as an engine for cast-iron cooking and simple food made with the best possible ingredients. This is one of the best restaurants in New York, period.
A secret worth sharing – The fact that this place is not easy to find makes me like it even better. It feels like a secret hideaway with beautiful decor and amazing food served right to my personal wooden table, a secret hideaway that everyone seems to know about. There's no doubt that others feel the same way because the wait tends to be around an hour or more on the weekends. But if you come on a weekday you can get a cozy table or a spot at the copper plated bar and actually feel like this place is all your own.
The food is completely worth the wait, with a menu that changes frequently based on the local and fresh produce, you can always know your going to be eating something that was well thought out, from farmer to chef. My favorites include the octopus starter, with charred lemon, olives and yogurt sauce and the butternut squash risotto, a light dish with big chunks of squash. For the quality of the food it is very decently priced with entrees under $25. The pork chop has been featured in magazines, television and blogs all over and is a comfort to eat, cooked medium rare and served on a rustic cutting board to match the decor.
The wine list is also a reason I love to come to this place, it's relatively small but incredibly well planned. You can get a great bottle for under $25, which is unheard of at any Manhattan restaurant of this quality. Their mixed drinks, though a little more pricey are both innovative and strong, something you feel you could have ordered from a speakeasy in the 20's. My favorite thing is to sit at the bar to eat a meal and have the bartender recommend a wine or cocktail for the course. They are always nice and willing to suggest new and interesting drinks, and share a story or two while they work.
Overall, I love Vinegar Hill House. Especially on a Monday night when you can take your time and enjoy a meal without the crowd. Also it's nice to actually see the staff as people and talk with them, something that's harder to do on the nights where the wait can be up to 2 hours. I would suggest Vinegar Hill to anyone who wants to get away from the bustle of Manhattan and share a delicious secret.
Bland food, horrible service – One food item stood out and we ordered many many tings. The place lacks substance. Just like the food, the staff is a hit or miss too. Some are sophisticated and nice, or as noted below, you get someone like their hostess with "issues" who would be better suited in the suburbs or UES, Midtown, Westchester etc. And the editor contributor write up seems awfully questionable. The epitome of the genre? Sounds like someone needs to get out of the house more. The decor is a pretty typical formula. Food is bland and uninspired. I want my money and time back! I suspect they will quickly learn the hard way that word gets around fast. I was warned by locals to not bother trying it. Regret not listening. I wont be back to give it a second or third try. It's just not worth it.
NEVER GOING BACK – had dinner there recently, the food was lovely but the service questionable and unfriendly, right down to the owner.
Two days later I walked by with a pregnant friend and sat on the bench outside only to be told a couple of minutes later that if we weren't dining we couldn't sit there!!! What!? Who tells a pregnant lady not to sit on there bench on a hot day. Even worse the woman who told us to go was the owner!
It's the sort of behavior you don't let slide and you tell everyone you know about it....
If you come to brooklyn, loose your snooty attitude. You are a small restaurant in an out of the way location a block and a half from the projects.... Look around, become part of the neighborhood or go back to Manhattan! Brooklyn has different rules, LEARN THEM!!!
Ugh, Never Going Back – Arrived at 7:30 and let the hostess know that we would be 3. When the 3rd member of our party arrived, the hostess said "Let me just seat this party and then I should be able to get you a table." By 9:30 still no table for us, but everyone else had been seated. The hostess approached us at the bar and said "It would be great if you could just order at the bar. It would just make it all a lot easier." Uh, ok, I guess. At that point, our experience at Vinegar Hill House had already become a joke. Food was excellent, but portions were erratic. Pea ravioli, an entree, consisted of 5 quarter-sized raviolis, while a meat dish was enormous. The bartender was beyond rude. The bar is teeny, yet we had to lean over the bar repeatedly and practically grab his sleeve for any recognition. Getting served a cocktail, which turned out to be yummy, took a good 15 minutes. In the entire 3 hours we spent sitting at the bar, the bartender never asked if we wanted to order another drink. This place was ridiculous. I don't recommend it to anyone.
Two Freemans alumni bring a casual, funky, New American brand of dining to DUMBO. – There are any number of small, informal, vaguely antiquarian restaurants in Brooklyn, but Vinegar Hill seems to be the epitome of the genre. Scuffy but clean floors and mismatched but appealing wood furniture, a roaring wood oven, professional service from tattooed staff in street clothes, and a general feeling of community mark the room, and the food is cozy and nourishing. It's also executed as sharply as you could ask for in a Manhattan starred restaurant, whether it's chicken served in a sizzling hot pan, or any of the various hearty proteins and locally-sourced vegetables that compose the menu.

Wisconsin Tops Valpo Wednesday Evening
Wednesday, April 13, 2005Wisconsin scored seven unearned runs capitalizing on five Crusader errors on Wednesday night at the Badgers defeated the Valparaiso 9-0 at the Valparaiso University Softball Field.
Two infield singles plated the game's first run in the opening inning for Wisconsin. The Badgers added five in the third, all unearned as the visitors sent ten hitters to the plate in the inning. Three straight hits capped off by a Kris Zacher double in the fourth led the way for three more runs to cross the plate.
Courtney LaFerle (Elgin, Ill./Larkin H.S.) led off the second with a double to leftfield for the Brown and Gold's lone hit off of Eden Brock. Katie Layne came on in relief in the fourth for Wisconsin and retired six of the seven hitters she faced, allowing a lead-off walk to pinch-hitter Jessica Schultz (Hubertus, Wis./Hartford Union H.S.) in the fifth.
Wisconsin (13-17) tallied nine hits in the game led by Zacher who was 3-for-3 with three runs batted in.
Valparaiso (3-28) will return to the diamond on Friday afternoon as the Crusaders host Southern Utah in a Mid-Continent Conference doubleheader. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. at the Valparaiso University Softball Field.

Hi Guys,
Im very new to the OSX86 scene....
I just successfully installed Snow Leopard on my PC.
I was trying to find out which hardware was the best and i got
my hands on an ASUS p5k Deluxe Wifi mobo and everything is working great.
I only have 1 problem.... my computer is connected using wireless internet.
I have a built in wifi with realtek chipset and a wg111v2 netgear.
Both of them have drivers and has known to be working on snow but only
on 32Bit... My os boots into 64bit and i cant change it.
I tried to use -v arch=i386 in the boot loader but it's showing me a bunch
of errors and it wont but in... I also tried using some kernelswitch applications
and holding "3" and "2" at the same time while booting but none of those methods seem to work... I can always go down to 10.5 but snow is really cool,, and i already spent so much time to get the rest of the drivers working and all my apps in place... somebody have an idea on how to boot it up in 32bit and if it's even possible ?? i dont really now which installation i got my hands on but i know for a fact the the boot loader is chameleon....
any ideas ?

25 of your coolest rides
Cameron's Alaska Toyota
Jordan Cameron of Seldora, Alaska, says his '81 Toyota pickup has tons of rust and only one shock in front because the other was torn off. But with a dual-plane Offenhauser intake, a 390-cfm Holley, stainless steel headers, and DynoMax glasspacks, he has plenty of power to get past any problems rusted, busted parts might bring him.
Heid's Wisconsin Dodge
Mark Heid of Wautoma, Wisconsin, uses his '97 Dodge Dakota Sport as a daily driver. Mark bought the truck stock with 31x10.50 tires on 15x8 wheels and a 318ci Magnum V-8, to which he added stainless steel Gibson headers, Gibson after-cat exhaust, a K&N air filter, and a Mopar Performance computer module. A local body shop painted the rally stripes, and David installed the Mopar grilleguard, tonneau cover, and bedliner.
Gouin's Alabama Jeep
Scott Gouin from Huntsville, Alabama, rebuilt his CJ from the frame up, which included installing a 454 Chevy engine, Dana 60 axles with a Detroit Locker in the rear and an ARB Air Locker in the front, dual Rancho RS 9000s all around, and 39.5x18-16 Super Swamper TSL Boggers underneath. But this is no show truck; Scott says he built it to have fun.
The Garcias' Nevada Blazer
Henry and Vikki Garcia of Henderson, Nevada, use their pit bull Dra as a built-in antitheft device for their '80s K5 Chevy Blazer. The 4x4 rolls on 35-inch Dick Cepek A/Ts mounted on 15x8 rims under a 4-inch Rancho lift. The Garcias also installed Rancho shocks and Go Rhino! axle trusses.
Hackworth's California Bronco
The first thing Steve Hackworth of Monrovia, California, did to his '66 Ford Bronco after buying it from the second owner was hose it off inside and out. After that, he had the engine (which was in pieces in a box) rebuilt and added an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, a Holley 600 four-barrel carb, headers, and dual exhaust. The Ford Victory Red paint job is the most recent addition, and it has Steve agonizing over when and where the first scratch will be inflicted.
Williams' Colorado Ford
Robert Williams of Littleton, Colorado, completely rebuilt his '77 Ford F-150 daily driver and play vehicle from the ground up, and it took him 14 months of hard work and hard-earned money. Robert added a 61/2-inch Superlift suspension, a 3-inch body lift over 38-inch Super Swamper TSLs, a 460 bored 0.030 over, an Edelbrock Performer intake, a 750 Edelbrock four-barrel, a four-speed tranny, front and rear lockers, and an all-new interior.
Cronin's Rhode Island Ram
Ryan Cronin from Exeter, Rhode Island, has been pretty busy since he bought this '95 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. The truck has Goodyear Wrangler R/Ts on 16x8 American Racing wheels, a Flowmaster exhaust system, a tonneau cover, a bug deflector, vent visors, window tint, and a Clarion stereo system. Still to come are a suspension lift, headers, and nerf bars.
Mayne's Minnesota Chevy Jacob Mayne of Northfield, Minnesota, described his Chevy 4x4 Extended Cab better than we could: "It's not a conversion and it's not a Suburban. It has a mid-'80s GM front clip and '77 running gear. The box is a '77 stepside, the taillights are from a Chevy van, and the wheels are 16-inchers made from aluminum. The color is Chevy Toreador Red. And the price tag is cause for divorce." Nice truck, Jacob. Hope you get to keep it.
The Wolynskis' New York Jeep When Chris and Shannon Wolynski of Vestal, New York, bought their '80 CJ-7, there were only 60,000 original miles on the 258 engine. Since then they've added a new cam, an Edelbrock four-barrel carb, Hedman headers, and an Offy high-rise intake. There's also a Grant steering wheel, but Chris says when he gets a break from touring the U.S. in a Freightliner, more mods will come.

You see Biebs what happens when you post a nice thread like this. You didn't use any sarcasms, putdowns or nasty cracks when you did this either. It's a huge improvement so keep it up and I'm proud of you for it.
Oh yeah, I think that we can consider August 19th as an official date as well since it was the day that Rivers called Scott to ask him to become bass player in Weezer so we can add the phone call to the list.
Has anyone noticed how Scott hasn't said thank you for this? I mean, it'd only take like five minutes to log on and say thanks for your support and stuff.
You can tell he isn't happy because he wasn't in that picture with Matt, Pat and Karl so obviously wanted nothing to do with it but the other guys just did it anyway even though he said no don't do it.
i like to think that you and scott would disagree on political matters, lewis.
but then again, i'm not obsessed with scott, so i don't really know which way he leans.
Lewis Digges said:
I think that Scott should run for President of the United States.

237 Meeting St, Charleston, SC | Directions 2940132.782820 -79.931958
Open Daily 24 Hours, Open Holidays
Neighborhoods: South of Broad
Budget hotel offers standard amenities and low rates to road-weary travelers. – In Short
Since 1946, this Phoenix, Ariz.-based hotel chain has provided guests with comfortable accommodations. Its BestRequests program offers 16 of the most frequently requested services and amenities, including complimentary in-room tea/coffeemakers, hair dryers, iron and ironing boards, free local calls less than 30 minutes and long-distance access. Complimentary toiletries, like toothpaste, razors and sewing kits, are also available upon request. Business travelers will enjoy the computer data ports in each room and photocopying services.
WAYYYYYY Overpriced, buts I guess thats Charleston for you – I cannot believe they charge this much for this room. It is a best western, do not kid yourself by the price you are paying. Its a 70 dollar a night room run by young adults from the college nearby. I could stay at a 5 star hotel in Atlanta and a darn nice place in NY C itself for what they charge. Charleston has some serious issues with its room rate policies, I have a feeling there is significant underhandedness going on as far as opening this market up.
Oh, and speaking as a southerner, you know Southern hospitality is dead right? I mean, get real.

commented on PlayStation Now 'is a joke,' says Pachter. He's wrong. in reply to Hotdog Flavored Water
Hotdog Flavored Water said:He doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe he should look up what PS Now is for before he makes an opinion and opens his mouth! Of course...Not just that though, let's say an older game does really well...that could open up room for a sequel or something because people are making it obvious that the series is still loved. I know that's more like a hope/dream but its a possibility.
Whenever I see stuff like this I miss playing WoW. I haven't played in a long time but I really want to. The monthly sub makes it hard for me to justify playing it.

Take It to the Bank
For the past 80 years, Waterfield's main mission has centered on showcasing dependability. The financial services company's tagline is "legacy of trust," because while it has seen the economy through decades of ups and downs and innovations, its commitment to quality service has remained a top priority.
With offices in Irvine, Calif., and Tulsa, Okla., Waterfield is an umbrella of companies made up of Waterfield Bank, Waterfield Financial Services and Waterfield Technologies.
"We run a very unique business," said John Marino, chief operating officer. "We've got an online bank that's effectively one of the drivers of our business, so a lot of the things that we're doing across all of the organizations are really about facilitating and helping the customers of that online bank."
Because the technologies portion of Waterfield's business deals with providing multichannel business solutions to clients such as GE Capital, Citibank and CenterPoint Energy, it looks for a couple of different flavors in terms of IT hiring, Marino said.
"The IT folks we hire in the bank are very different than the IT folks we hire in the technology firm," he said.
IT professionals at Waterfield fall into six different categories, or "buckets," Marino said, which include systems and business analysts, IT network and infrastructure, application development, operations support, infrastructure support and project management.
"On the operations and IT infrastructure side, we're focused on network maintenance, operating systems and the various systems that go into maintaining a bank infrastructure — so, all the firewalling…

Powerful. Athletic. One of a kind. Built for the hard-edged watersports enthusiast, the all-new 212X takes 21-foot tower boats to new heights of performance and versatility. Driven by a pair of muscular 1.8 liter precision-engineered Yamaha Marine engines, this craft rockets from zero-to-30 in a breathtaking 4 seconds flat. But more than just pure muscle, the 212X can haul up to 9 people in comfort and style with more class-leading passenger room and ample storage space for gear.
