When Billy Ruthers transferred to Miss Tawdry's fourth grade class, he had no doubt he'd rule the class just as he had in his former school. But Miss Tawdry has special ways of dealing with troublemakers and Billy has really met his match.
School Days
Mystic Ransdell
"Okay, class, who can tell me the correct punishment for chewing gum in school?" Miss Tawdry asked menacingly, her eyes focused on Billy Ruthers. Billy just rolled his eyes. He was new in this class. New in this school and town, as a matter of fact. But he recognized a bluff when he saw one and Miss Tawdry was definitely bluffing. He had transferred in from Mrs. Attleberry's Fourth grade class at Rushmore Elementary in Chicago, and was way too smart to be intimidated by some small town teacher's scare tactics. In fact, this lady just didn't know who she was messing with. He wasn't known to his friends as "King Prank" for nothing.
Betty Jane Ferman raised her hand and Miss Tawdry nodded in her direction. Betty Jane got up and stood at attention beside her desk. She cleared her voice and said, loudly, "The first punishment for chewing gum is two whacks on the hand with the class ruler.
"That's right, Betty Jane. Thank you!" Miss Tawdry said, and smiled briefly at her before returning her glare to Billy. Betty Jane smiled back and sat down and Billy felt a slight shift in his bravado when he noticed how nervous (scared, she looks scared!) Betty Jane looked. But his common sense took over again and he thought, "She can't hit me. It's illegal to hit kids. Especially over something as stupid as chewing gum!
So Billy was incredibly surprised to see Miss Tawdry get up, all 6 feet 3 inches of her and stomp over to his desk, carrying the trash can. She towered over Billy and with a fierce scowl she looked down at him and said, loudly, "Mr. Ruthers, your gum, in the trash, NOW!
Billy looked up at her insolently, embarrassed at her display. This was his first day of school and he simply could not have this woman making a fool of him in front of these kids. He knew she was bluffing, simply knew it, and he was going to show her right now who the boss was. "Whatever you say, teach." he said with a chuckle, and looking her directly in the eye (while his heart beat a staccato note in his chest) he spit his gum out onto the floor (pretending to aim for the trash can, of course).
Billy saw Miss Tawdry's eyes flicker to the floor, and then her face got even redder than before, and a deadly hush fell over the entire room. For the first time, Billy started to actually believe she might hit him, and he felt the first tentative finger of fear tickle up his spine.
Miss Tawdry leaned over until her face was within inches of Billy's and with a low voice, full of barely contained fury, she said, "Pick that up!
Billy decided then that it was best to let her win this one and to get his revenge at a later date. He still knew that she was bluffing and would never hit him, but he was beginning to worry that she might talk to his parents, and his dad would go ballistic if he heard about Billy getting in trouble on his first day at this new school. Billy knew that one of the reasons his parents had decided to relocate to this little town was because of what they called "his behavioral problems" in their room at night when they thought he couldn't hear them. He knew that they felt hopeful that if they got him away from the "rotten influence" of his friends on the South Side, that he might straighten up and learn to be a "benefit to society." And if it didn't work, they planned to take him to a shrink so he could discuss "the deep issues and pressures he obviously felt so he could work to a beneficial solution." Billy did not want to go see a shrink. And he did not want to see the look on his dad's face that he would see if Miss Tawdry decided to send a note home, or worse yet, to call him at work. And from the infuriated look on her face, she just might do that. So Billy did his best to look demure and said, "Yes, Miss Tawdry. Sorry Miss Tawdry." and he leaned over and picked up his gum, and dropped it in the trashcan.
The teacher looked down on him with an evil smile and said, "Place your hands on your desk, palm up. Hold them out in front of you." Billy looked up at her incredulously. She was actually going to hit him? That was illegal, wasn't it? But there she was, watching him, still obviously very angry, and he noticed for the first time the huge metal ruler she held in her hand like a club. "Do it!" she said.
"But, Miss Tawdry," Billy whined, now more than a little frightened. That was a big ruler and he knew it would really hurt if she hit him as hard as he thought she might. "I won't do it again. I just didn't know."
"And this will help you remember, Mr. Ruthers," Miss Tawdry growled. "We aren't like other schools. You will mind your manners here or you will be eliminated. It is my job to make sure that you remember that. Now, put out your hands!"
Billy was very close to tears now. "I'll remember, Miss Tawdry! I promise!" His fingers closed up around themselves so his hands were two tight little fists and he held them tightly in his lap.
"PUT YOUR HANDS OUT!!" Miss Tawdry screamed in Billy's face.
A little girl in the back of the room gasped, and the sound bounced around off the walls, ceiling and floor in the otherwise silent room the way a child's ball will during a game of jacks. Billy, by now terrified, slowly and meekly put his hands out, palm up, on the desk in front of him. He closed his eyes and thought, "it won't be so bad. She wouldn't hurt a kid."
WHACKKKK! The pain was blinding, a lightening strike across his palms, so rapid and so excruciating that all he could do was blink with shock and then WHACKKKK! the second one hit him, and that one broke the skin a little and his bones all felt broken and crumbled and useless, and then he did what any other little boy would do in his situation. He cried.
The little boy in front of Billy shifted nervously in his seat a little, and the girl next to him started to cry a little, too. Billy tentatively wiggled his fingers and they all managed to move, although they were still shrieking with pain. But it was obvious to him that they weren't broken, regardless of how they felt. He pulled them close to his body protectively, and huddled down in his chair, as if it this would help him to disappear from Miss Tawdry's view. He was definitely going to tell his dad about this tonight when he got home. He definitely was. And his dad would do something about it, he just knew it. His dad would never let this woman get away with hurting him like that.
Emboldened by that thought, he had another. His dad was gonna crucify Miss Tawdry when he found out. She'd get what was coming to her for sure. Billy watched her pick up the trash can and turn around, heading back up the aisle to her desk, her ponderous body moving like a grizzly among the little sapplings of her students. He looked down at his hands and saw that one of them was bleeding pretty good. His dad would be furious when he saw his son bleeding like a stuck pig. And suddenly, Billy was angry too. He felt the imagined rage of his father wash over him and become his own. He felt all the fury it is possible for a little boy of 9 to feel, and with every fiber of his being, he yelled at Miss Tawdry. Billy shouted out the worse word he knew to call a woman. "You BITCH!" he screamed. "You complete bitch!!
At 6:15 PM that night, Billy's father and mother showed up to Miss Tawdry's classroom. She had called them both at work and asked for a conference to discuss Billy's behavior in class that day. She had taken the necessary disciplinary measures, she had told them, but felt the need to discuss it at greater length with them in person. When they arrived, they saw their son sitting at his desk, quietly writing. As they entered the classroom, Billy's mom saw what looked like sheer terror (or was it pain?) in her son's eyes. She walked over to his desk and looked down at the paper he was writing on. "I will not cuss at my teacher in class" was written over and over and over on the lined sheet, in very tiny, very neat handwriting. "What's going on, Billy?" she asked. "In trouble already, on your first day of school?
Billy looked up at his mother, and tears filled his eyes. He opened his mouth, and his mother screamed in horror. Where Billy's tongue had once been was now a small stump wrapped in a bandage. And when she followed the direction of his eyes, she saw the rest of his tongue, stuck to the wall by a very large object that looked like a metal ruler. Screaming again, she turned around rapidly when she heard her husband say "What in the hell??" behind her and that's when she saw, THEY saw, Miss Tawdry coming at them, a large butcher knife shimmering in the fluorescent lights of the classroom, and then heard her say, "Okay, who can tell me what the punishment is for raising disrespectful children?

A sculpture built to bring Americans together ten years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is tearing some apart on the eve of the anniversary.
Some city residents oppose placing Tempered by Memory, created by two New York artists with steel from the World Trade Center, on the lawn of the Saratoga Springs Visitor Center. Visitor center officials, a local artist and some preservationists believe that the 22-foot-high artwork would clash with the historic streetscape of that section of Broadway, which includes buildings and monuments from 1915. Some in the group call for the monument to go on Lake Avenue near the state Military Museum and city firehouse.
The clash has caused the City Council to skip a vote on the project's approval, leading many to believe that the sculpture will not be displayed by Sept. 11. On Monday, the director of Saratoga Arts, the main sponsor of the project, blasted its opponents and members of the City Council for the delay in a letter to supporters that was obtained by the Times Union. Drawing a comparison to the 2004 political ad that attacked decorated Vietnam veteran John Kerry for his war credentials, director Joel Reed said opponents were "swiftboating" the 9/11 memorial.
Reed accused city Democrats of opposing the project for partisan gain during an election year, and Republicans who control the City Council of treating Sept. 11 as "an arbitrary date on the calendar."
"Democrats attacking a community arts project created by a rainbow coalition of artists, unions, small and large businesses, and individuals from all walks of life? Republicans minimizing the significance of
the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, and shunting aside a project that deeply resonates with veterans and first responders? And both throwing Saratoga Arts and the chance for community unity on 9/11 under the bus in the hope of picking up a few votes," Reed's letter says.
He urged supporters to contact elected officials and speak in favor of the project at Tuesday's City Council meeting in City Hall. Mayor Scott Johnson has scheduled a discussion on the topic, but no vote.
Tempered by Memory was originally slated for in front of the Saratoga Springs City Center. City officials changed that location last month to the visitor center, saying the sculpture was too large.
Several speakers protested the new site at the last City Council meeting. Michael Messinger, co-chairman of the visitor center's board, and Lance Ingmire, a board member, said the modern sculpture would threaten the historic integrity of the area around the center. They suggested putting the art on Lake Avenue.
"It would be reprehensible to rush this process without fully vetting other locations," Ingmire said.
Artist Amejo Amyot of the Beekman Art District took a harder line. She accused Saratoga Arts of a "serious breach of arts in public places etiquette." The organization failed to invite calls for entries from other artists for the project before choosing sculptors John Van Alstine of Wells, Hamilton County, and Noah Savett of Gansevoort, Amyot said. "If we were to honor anything about this tragedy, it should be the people we lost," she said. "The sculpture has no redeeming aesthetic or artistic value."
Other speakers said that the sculpture would draw tourists and move those who see it. The city's Design Review Commission and state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation support "Tempered by Memory" at the visitor center, Reed said. In the letter, he accused unnamed artists of "grinding the axe of personal resentment," and opponents of "using party fundraisers and blogs as forums for undercutting the project."
Saratoga Arts wants the monument up by Sept. 11, Reed said in an interview Monday, adding that it has made commitments to project donors, the artists, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, from whom it received the shards of steel and iron workers.
"If you feel that the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, and its commemoration should transcend city politics, and this unique artwork should have a place in our city, ask (city leaders) to stop stalling and vote to accept the project," Reed wrote.

text: I have a rather frustrating problem regarding the sectioning and mounting of Paraplast Plus-embedded Arabidopsis tissue. Following sectioning and transfer of ribbons to Probe-on-Plus slides (Fisher), I find that water bubbles form between the slide and the ribbon, often resulting in puncturing of the paraffin. A good deal of my sections are being ruined by this phenomenon. The methods I have used to transfer the ribbon to the slide are as follows: 1. Floating the ribbon on a 42C water bath for a minute or so followed by transfer to the slide. Excess water is shaken off and the slide is moved to a 42C slide warmer. 2. Placing the ribbon directly onto a slide with water already on it. Slides are transferred to a slide warmer until ribbons have expanded and excess water is removed using the corner of a paper towel. In both cases, bubbles always develop under the ribbon upon incubation at 42C. I have tried using gelatin-coated slides and encounter the same problem. Furthermore, the wax I am using is brand new and its temperature has never exceeded 62C. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could solve this problem I would be very grateful.

text: Hi, I've implemented this too, some time ago, patch looks similar. But I've not chosen for the name 'showallprocs', but I named it 'showotheruids'. I find that name a bit more obvious than 'showallprocs'. There's one small problem with the patch, when enabled and when there are multiple users logged in then the command 'w' complains with: "Stale utmpx entry: user". But other than that, it's still useful to have. Maybe send-pr the patch? -- Peter Postma

The Soldotna City Council has public hearings and action slated for three ordinances at tonight's meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Topping the list of ordinances is a measure to ask Soldotna voters to exempt Soldotna officials from state financial disclosure laws, and instead establish city financial disclosure guidelines. Soldotna City Manager Larry Semmens has said the state's requirements "clearly discourage people" from wanting to serve as elected and appointed officials.
Also on the agenda is a measure to amend city code to more clearly define reimbursable and nonreimbursable expenses and to reflect current rates established by the federal government for city employees' business travel, and an ordinance to accept funds from the Alaska Police Standards Council for the purpose of police-related training.
Resolutions on the agenda include a measure to award a contract to the Alaska Public Entities Insurance Pool for property, liablitiy and workers' compensation insurance, and a measure to award a sole-source contract to Severn Trent Water Purification Inc. for a hypochlorite generation system as part of the Well House C renovation.
The council's consent agenda includes introduction of ordinances to:
* Rezone a lot in Dawn Glow Subdivision No. 2 to Limited Commercial;
* Accept grants from the Alaska Highway Safety Office for traffic enforcement and safety; and
* Increase revenues and appropriations in the Centennial riverbank restoration capital projeject fund to account for a state grant to install stairs at the Kenai River bridge.
A resolution on the consent agenda would authorize the disposal of outdated city records.

If you're not being manipulated, then you're handled by professionals.
Anyone who plans on playing worgen, but will not admit to plesuring themselves to the new Twilight movie, is a hypocrite who should commit seppuku immediately.

I'm not even interested in seeing updated racials, I know im going Worgen, you cannot love how they look, and thinking of never having to look at my male nelfs boring face again is more than enough of a reason to pay.
With racials in mind however if Worgen sprint and Cat form dash don't share a CD like EMFH and BM trinks do, then how much of an awesome thing is that gonna be for pvp ^__^

I absolutely loooove how worgen look, but my druid will stay NE just because she was my first toon ever back when I started in Vanilla :] I think I will just race-change an alt, because I'd love to have a worgen toon that gets to stay in its form, since that's part of the awesomeness that is that race! [Yeah yeah, superficial is me!].
If the forms for Worgan look good, I'm totally race-changing >=D if not, screw it. $10 to spend at Boost juice! =D
Umm, wait until blizzard give us the new racials then we will talk because that racial is not listed. So, you fail, troll.Originally Posted by FourofaKind
Darkflight (3 min cooldown): Activates your true form, increasing movement speed by 70% for 10 sec. ~ Blizzard did said that this move does work under stealth. So this might be very good for Feral DPS, and Rogue.
Viciousness (passive): Increases all damage done by 1%. ~ Nothing to said, this is really good, let hope that people understand the Worgen does 1% more damage than Night elves.
Aberration (passive): Reduces the duration of all Curses and Diseases used against you by 15%. ~ Good at ICC or shadow spellcaster dungeon. Worgen are Anti-DK.
Flayer (passive): Skinning skill increased by 15 and allows you to skin faster (and removes the requirement of having a skinning knife). ~ More Crit %.
Two Forms (1.5 sec cooldown): Turn into your currently inactive form. (human form)
So LEt wait until Blizzard pull something out of their ass.
Auroro calm down he wasn't being serious :-\
I'm thinking of swapping to worgen or level'ing another alt as one depends on which I want to do to be honest.
I was planning to once I heard about Worgen Druids, but seeing everyone else is going to, too, I might stay Night-Elf after all. Plus I'm not too fond of the male Worgen running and casting animations they showed.
Also, I can foresee Worgen being the new Blood-Elves. Overhyped gheys furballs.
A part of MMO-Champion died the day Curse took over. Next thing they want us to pay for a premium account to read MMO-Champion and Wowpedia. I definitely see that happen one day.
1% damage increase and another sprint i play feral dps so def going worgen when it becomes available

In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions, silly or not.
The one I want to book now is Los Angeles to Vancouver on the Sapphire Princess. It's called Wine Country Coastal. I picked it because three ports are places I want to return to - Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Seattle - and Mom wants to go back to L.A. as she has been there before. She also has expressed interest in an Alaska cruise, which surely would include Victoria and Vancouver. So it looks like a no-brainer to me. I can't take that one until May 11, 2013 because my sister, who will also go with me, has one more year of college. When I asked her where she would like to go, she told me, "I just want to go on a cruise." That was like music to my ears.
Anyway, my first question is about when to book it. Considering I still have a lot of time to do that, but have a specific cabin in mind (E711), should I worry about booking now? Or is there a good chance that despite waiting until December, I can still pick the cabin I want? I care about the cabin number because of reports a rocking motion can be felt if I am too far aft. I have a balance problem and my mom is almost 65 so we can't stay in or near E731.
Looking forward to cruising!

Based on the latest detailed costings of orders placed with South Korean yards, the report finds that, despite record worldwide demand for new ships last year, serious difficulties continue to affect the EU shipbuilding sector as a result of unfair trading practices by South Korean competitors.
The report notes that the year 2000 saw a significant expansion in orders for new ships, with 56 % more orders being placed than in 1999.
Most of this increase, triggered by an expanding world economy, higher oil prices and historically low ship prices in certain market segments, has benefited South Korean yards, which again increased their market share. EU yards have also benefited from stronger demand, mainly for cruise ships, a sector where Korean yards offer no direct competition.
In 2000, South Korea consolidated its position as the world's largest shipbuilding country, accounting for more than 35 % of all tonnage ordered worldwide.

Lonard on course for historic hat-trick
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
PERFECT VISION: Robert Allenby sizes up the 18th yesterday
Peter Lonard finished his second round of the Australian Masters and went to the practice fairway until 7.30pm on Friday. He was planning on doing the same last night after he hooked a couple of drives late in his third round, and marred an otherwise good day with a bogey at the 18th.
But make no mistake, Lonard is in the game after his third-round 68 took him to within four shots of the lead at Huntingdale yesterday.
He is almost as close as he was (three shots) after the third round of the Australian PGA Championship at Coolum last weekend and he was further back (five shots) in the Australian Open a fortnight ago. Of course, he won both.
Having won two consecutive Australasian tour events, and three tournaments on the trot when you throw in the $15,000 NSW Open the week before, Lonard has some history in his sights.
"I suppose if I get close near the end, they'll at least know I'm there," he said.
"I don't think it really matters up until the last couple of holes tomorrow. I've just got to play the game. It's the same old story. The last three weeks have been so hectic, I haven't had time to think about anything.
"You finish one tournament, go and have the odd drink and then go to the next town and start again.
"It's all good. I wouldn't be dead for quids."
The bogey on the 18th was Lonard's only blemish yesterday. His day began with a fluky bounce off the branch of a tree with his drive at the first, where he holed a long birdie putt, and three birdies in the first four holes sent him vaulting up the leaderboard.
Fighting a tendency to pull his drives, he lost the battle at the 16th, where he chipped out from the trees and scrambled a par. But at 18, he repeated the mistake, stymied himself behind a tree and the sponsors' marquees, and it cost him a shot.
"I can't recommend over there near those tents. It's no good," he said.
The leaderboard compacted yesterday despite the course playing gently again in the windless con- ditions, largely because overnight leader Bradley Hughes could not sustain his brilliance of Thursday and Friday. Hughes began at 14 under and promptly hit peerless iron shots at the first and second holes for birdies. At one point, his lead was five.
But his momentum disappeared and he scrambled for the rest of the day, losing the lead to Victorian David McKenzie when he drove into the trees on the tough 17th hole.
While Melburnian McKenzie takes a lead of two shots into the final round, there are 15 players within seven shots of the local boy, including the defending champion Robert Allenby, Lonard, European tour stars Richard Green and Nick O'Hern, and another Huntingdale specialist in Craig Parry.
A couple of the bigger names appeared to drop out of contention yesterday, with Stuart Appleby and Adam Scott back in the pack at eight under and needing miracles today. Scott shot a 69 and played well, but not well enough. Appleby took the week's only eagle at the long, par-five 14th, then hit a beautiful iron shot to within a metre at the par-three 15th for a birdie, but immediately bogeyed the 17th and then took a double-bogey six at the 18th.
Allenby had 68 and at 14 under is poised to make a strong defence so long as his putter is working. He lipped out several putts yesterday and nailed just one of substance, from eight metres for birdie at the par-four 13th hole.
As for Lonard, he is feeling the pinch from the expectations built up by his run of wins.
"There was a lot of stuff going on at the start of the week and often it's hard to perform well or get yourself into position if there's a lot of hoo-hah about," he said. "At the moment it's all good. It still comes down to the back nine tomorrow."

More than a month has elapsed since the Bulls' last offensive touchdown, in the fourth quarter of the Sept. 28 loss to Miami. By contrast, Houston (6-1, 3-0) is the only Division I-A program to score in every quarter it has played (28) this season. Backtracking to 2012, the Cougars have scored in 35 consecutive quarters. The Bulls, 6-0 all-time indoors, hope to extend that streak inside Reliant Stadium. On the flip side, they're 0-9 on ESPN-televised Thursday night games. USF started four freshmen in Saturday's 34-3 loss to Louisville, and played a season-high nine in the game. The number of starters should increase, when 6-foot-5 freshman QB Mike White gets his inaugural start. Houston leads the nation with a plus-20 turnover margin. The Cougars have outscored their opposition, 144-46, in the second half this season.
Watch out for …
Bulls rushing leader Marcus Shaw, absent since injuring a hamstring in the first half of the Cincinnati game nearly four weeks ago, is expected to return. Houston's John O'Korn, among five freshman quarterbacks to start for an American Athletic Conference team this year, leads all true freshmen nationally with 19 passing TDs and a 159.0 efficiency rating. Seeking any measure to jump-start his offense, Bulls coach Willie Taggart has said he may use a defensive player both ways. Houston WR Deontay Greenberry has four games this year with at least 146 receiving yards.

We take children and young adults with a special need fishing on the ocean….in grand style!
I have had many autistic guests that absolutley loved the experience and am searching for the right individual to be the Fish for Life Chapter President somewhere along the New York seaboard. The trips are designed for the warm weather months.
This program is 100% volunteer and a Labor of Love for anyone interested.

I loved the story about the boy who is getting the service dog. I know several people with autism who have gotten service dogs. The dogs help to keep them calm, safe and de-escalate potentially exposive situations. I especially love that Dean Kootz is funding this venture, it is always wonderful when celebrities give back to the community.
Many times people with Asperger's relate much better to animals than to people.
Social skills are often a problem for people with AS, as this article attests http://www.aspergerssociety.org/articles/15.htm . Therapy dogs can help autistic people be more social and participate more in community life, so this is a great idea.

My son was diagnosed with Autism/adhd and a friend introducted me to a natural product made from milk. I tried it and in two months I saw imprivements in my son. Today my son is doing extremely well in school, very focused and takes the initative to do everything for himself, truly a turnaround from the way the used to be. This product is a uniquely prepared all natural protein made from milk, which improves your immune system, mental performance and physical performance. It works and today my son shows no signs or symptoms of Autism/adhd. For more info my email is firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks.

KISS bass player Gene Simmons does a revolutionary act – He tells the truth
It appears that whilst on a tour of Australia, Gene Simmons from the band Kiss, did a very brave, noble and honest thing, he called Islam 'vile'. He did what many people who are sick and fed up of Islamic apologetics clogging our media, would like to see more of, which is people telling the truth about Islam.
The Sheik Yamami counter-Jihad site carried a link to the Israeli news source YNet News which said that during an interview with an Australian radio station Mr Simmons described Islam as:
"This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's willing to just live in the sands of God's armpit, you've got another thing coming," the Israeli-born musician said on Melbourne's 3AW radio.
They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil. Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs onto your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he continued."
Can't really see much to disagree with there. Mr Simmons also accurately summed up the position of women in Islamic societies by comparing how Islamic women are treated worse than dogs:
""Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house… You can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff – none of the women have that advantage," Simmons stated."
Well said!
We need more people like Mr Simmons who have a high public profile to say, 'Fuck Off' to Islam, because it is a useful counterweight to the pro-Islamic appeasers and panderers who infest too much of our government and media.
As expected there was the predictable outrage from the professional Islamic apologists and useful idiot converts who flapped their lips and lied through their teeth just like they almost always seem to do.

This year's edition of the Le Tour de France is one to remember as the tour reaches its 100th anniversary, one of which many will hope deliver the yellow jersey to a fellow Brit known as Chris Froome, who's the current holder as I write this review. We all remember the fantastic achievement by Bradley Wiggins at Team Sky last year, which forced more of us to get on our bikes and cycle around. It even improved sales of the 2012 edition video game. But does this year's edition take the franchise forward?
Once again I begin this review with Britain's cycling achievements, which seems to be a trend recently, however other countries are catching up if you've been following Le Tour de France on TV. During stage 12 Mark Cavendish was pipped by the young German Marcel Kittel, who features in the game. Based on our fantastic achievement in cycling, I felt it was only right to go as Team Sky since we have more British riders featured in the team than any other. Unfortunately the licensing for names at Sky wasn't available, so you'll see some similar names used instead of the real ones. It's a shame, but there's a name editor in the main menu which lets you change these names if you want to have Chris Froome instead of Craig Vroome in your team.
What you have to remember about Le Tour de France are the distances these cyclists have to go, with many stages broken up into various sections such as hill climbs or flat sections where you can pick up the pace if you're chasing a break away in the peloton. The range in terrain is what makes the tour so exciting and challenging for these cyclists and it isn't portrayed in the game very well. Hill climbs were slow and steady. While going down hill at high speeds felt dangerous as a red trail line indicates you need to hit the brakes on your bike to slow down and make the turn. It just didn't feel right and the poor quality graphics didn't aid it in any way.
During one race I even had the humorous spectacle to witness a crash involving around 20 riders on the second to last turn of the stage. It's great that events like these can randomly occur, although I'm still not completely sure if I was the cause of it. One of the downsides to this was that I could just simply ride over them without even falling off my bike – it was almost as if they didn't exist and the fallen bikes and riders had become a part of the road.
Once again, the tutorial doesn't get any better than the last game with screenshots and lots of text to keep your eyes feeling tired. For a game such as this, it feels only right that the tutorial should be some sort of short gameplay section that you can play through and get used to. Even though I've played the previous edition of the game, I still couldn't remember most of the controls and tactics I needed to use. I must have played through the first four stages without even using any team commands.
The main tip is to maintain your fitness throughout each stage and use your team mates to place yourself in the best position to get a good finish on the stage. You're not going to win every stage, that's impossible unless you're some sort of super doping cyclist. But you will need to win a few stages if you want that glamorous yellow jersey. During the 21 stages offered, I think I won about four stages and they were mainly time trials, which seems to be an area which you can excel at. The times set around you don't seem to be very competitive and you don't need to really worry about your stamina because you're offered more than enough to get to the end. Something in the past game which bugged a lot of players was the very competitive times set, so that seems to have been addressed.
Le tour de France 2013 sticks with the two gears of attacking and standard, however it now also allows you to tuck in behind riders and follow their lead, which is particularly useful if your fingers are getting tired from tapping buttons just to stay at the front of the peloton. Team commands are as equally important as maintaining your speed – you shouldn't have to do all the work, so let your team mates take over if they're near the front. Most of the time they'll obey your commands, unfortunately though, they do sometimes get pulled too far back to do anything to help out.
A new dynamic to your racing strategy comes in the form of new snacks, in last year's edition I think there were only two snacks which were a banana and energy gel, well now there's a whole range of snacks which have properties such as for long stages or for short bursts of attack. It's not a game changer, but it can certainly help out for the 180km+ stages where you need a burst of energy to get you through to the end.
Particularly on the longer stages you might find the gameplay rather tedious, as it's not really a game which you can play for a few hours without getting bored. However, there is still a fast forward button, which effectively simulates the stage to the end, although you may be sat around waiting for about 5 or 10 minutes waiting for it to end, since it simulates throughout the stage and allows you to drop back in to control your rider at any point.
One of the features that did get me excited was co-op, just the prospect of competing in the same team with friends sounded appealing. The only problem being that it was offline co-op only, which was also the same for versus. Surely we're at a stage now where games should provide us with both offline and online co-op!
Graphically the game does still feel dated at times and it fails to present the beauty of the tour. Random bits of screen tearing and frame rate issues here and there all add to the poor quality of graphics, but as a cycling simulation title, it does what you expect it to do. By that, I mean that it delivers competitive cycling gameplay and demonstrates some of the strategies adopted by teams, even if it does feel like you're doing most of the work. Another thing Cyanide Studio removed were the annoying spectators that used to roam in the road cheering you on, they were particularly annoying when you went straight through one of them.
Le Tour de France 2013 100th Edition builds upon last year's edition of the title, which will leave many fans in praise of the small changes, yet they're probably still left asking for a bit more. That's at least how I felt, especially after finding that co-op and versus was only pinned to offline play. With some changes, I feel this game can be improved hugely and actually introduce more real life strategies to the game.

Hearts chief Mortagbe gives coach Polo full backing to turn things around
By Ameenu Shardoe, follow on Twitter @alooameenu
Hearts of Oak chief Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe insists coach Mohammed Polo is getting maximum support to reverse the side's recent slump in the second round.
The Phobians have fallen back on their title chase following the surprise dismissal of coach David Duncan.
His replacement, Mohammed Polo has only managed one win in four matches – suffering two crashing defeats in the process.
But the club's managing director believes the Phobians will return to winning ways in the second round with the 'absolute' support being given to the new coach.
"Absolutely, he is getting all the support he needs,†Armstrong-Mortagbe told Metro FM.
"And I am confident that Mohammed Polo together with his assistants will make a very credible showing in the second round.â€
Hearts are now left with only the Premier League title to contest for following their early elimination from the FA Cup at the hands of lowly Bibiani Gold Stars.

Splat! Throwing produce at SoCal Tomato Battle (Video)Bottom Highlights, Scene Out Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Social Chaos: Scene Out
Toh-may-toh, Toeh-mah-toh. Whatever way you choose to say it there was no argument at the SoCal Tomato Battle on what to do with it: throw it at anyone and everybody. This weekend we trekked up to Irvine Lakes to join in. We were thinking, what's a more perfect way to spend Saturday afternoon than throwing ripe tomatoes at each other and strangers? There were many interesting outfits during the costume contest prior to the battle. One being "time of the month." 'Nuff said. By the end, we were trudging on slippery, smashed tomatoes and had a sudden urge for spaghetti!
Tasty spirits
We spent a couple of hours at the fourth annual Spirits Festival Sunday afternoon. The cocktail and spirits samples were abundant. It was held at the Broadway Pier Pavilion and the view while watching the bands play was amazing! There were several food trucks to balance off the alcohol intake inside the festival. Many of the brands we had heard of, such as Twisted Shots and 619 Vodka, but there were new ones such as Ron de Jeremy dark rum and Tatratea. Yes, that Ron Jeremy! One of our favorites was the green snapper mixed with cucumber, tomatillo and a few other spices. It's like a green version of a Bloody Mary. Delicious and full of antioxidants.
After a much needed power nap, we headed to the Nicky Awards. We both had a wonderful evening and extend big congratulations to all the winners. Last, but not least, may I present to you the 2012 Female Personality of the Year. My lovely wife, Kim Rescate.
Kim: Well, who knew I had a personality, let alone an award-winning one? Not I. It was a surprise for me. When Ana and I moved from New York a few years ago, we didn't know anyone here. Now, we feel like we're part of the community. I am grateful for all those who have taken a chance on us and given us the opportunity to be your friends and/or colleagues. You know who you are!
Ana Pines has a BA in film and TV from New York University and an MBA from Baker College. She currently works as a producer for PR Newswire and as a director/co-programmer for FilmOut San Diego.
Kim Rescate is a strategic, multidisciplinary designer with an eye for innovation and pixel perfection. She is currently the art director for FilmOut San Diego and a graphic designer/press officer for Diversionary Theatre.

Austin Dillon: On The Way To Becoming Most Popular Truck Series DriverAugust 14, 2010
When you put a No. 3 on the side, it becomes more than just another race car.
With that number on the side, there comes a guarantee that whoever is behind the wheel is bound to get plenty of fan and media attention. Call it a gift from Dale Earnhardt, or maybe even a curse.
Since the death of the Intimidator on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, the once-quiet whispers have turned into shouts about whether the number should ever be raced again. If it is, who should be the lucky driver that gets to be the one behind the wheel?
Richard Childress had the perfect plan; the No. 3 after all is the Childress family number that friend Earnhardt made famous. It shouldn't go to waste or be retired, and it seemed his grandson agreed.
When Austin Dillon prepared for his truck series debut at Iowa in September of 2009, the No. 3 would be on the side of the truck. Not only would the number be there, it would be a black No. 3 hitting the track in shades of Earnhardt.
Dillon wanted to show that even though Earnhardt may be gone, his number could still go to victory lane. The decision to climb aboard the famous number could have played out one of two ways.
First, the media circus could have been waiting, wanting to see what the 20-year-old could do while comparing him to Earnhardt.
Or Dillon would quickly quiet the critics and make the number his own.
Halfway through the 2010 season, it's safe to say that he's accomplished the latter.
Entering Saturday night's event in Darlington, S.C., Dillon sits fifth in the Truck Series standings with his first career win under his belt. It came at the same track that he qualified for his first start, Iowa.
The fans have taken to the Bass Pro Shops team, those enjoying seeing the number back on the track and succeeding.
Or there are those who enjoy watching Dillon make his way to the top of the sport. Either way, walking through the garage area, it's hard to spot the No. 3 truck and it doesn't have to do with the paint scheme.
The throng of people around Dillon's garage stall is a much better disguise.
The crew members go about their business, preparing the fastest and toughest machine they can for the Lady in Black. Photographers snap away, admiring the paint scheme that can only truly be appreciated when up close and in person with the Chevy Silverado.
In the middle of it all and seemingly unfazed, stands Dillon.
Waiting for when he gets the word that he can climb aboard and strap in, he glances around other garage stalls. A content look on his face, hands resting comfortably on his waist, hanging onto the straps of his HANS device.
If he's bothered by all the attention, Dillon does a great job not showing it. Only in his first full year of competition, there will be many more of these days for Dillon. Days that will come and go, some more memorable than others.
The future of the Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR is once again behind the wheel of a black No. 3. Isn't it funny how those things always work out?
Competitors like Ron Hornaday and Todd Bodine will always draw attention when around; they're the veterans and champions of the sport and have earned their due and respect.
But not far behind is Dillon, who has captured his own attention and will gain the respect of those around him the more he shows that he belongs in the series.
During the first practice session for the Too Tough to Tame 200, he showed everyone that he belonged at Darlington. Instead of a steep learning curve, it was the rookie visiting the tough track for the first time that put down the fastest lap, running a 29.09, which was 169.01 fast.
The next practice session was more of the same, as Dillon again took it to the field by laying down a lap of 28.96, which was 169.78 mph.
So far, he's halfway to the perfect weekend, winning both practice sessions. Bring on qualifying and the race for the No. 3 team. Just bring anything else you want to throw their way, they can handle it.
And so can Dillon.
He's fast, he can win, and people love him for it. Now it becomes a journey of watching how much brighter his star can shine and just how far he can go.
There's one guarantee that wherever Dillon goes, there will most likely be a crowd following.

"I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night," MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement. "Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay."
[Related: MSNBC's election night lineup criticized]
Olbermann gave the maximum individual donation of $2,400 to three candidates in Tuesday's election: Arizona Reps. Gabrielle Giffords and Raul Grijalva and Senate hopeful Jack Conway, who lost in Kentucky to Republican Rand Paul. (Grijalva appeared on Olbermann's "Countdown" on Oct. 28, the same day the host donated to his campaign; Conway was last a guest in May).
Olbermann, in a statement to Politico, said that he "did not privately or publicly encourage anyone else to donate to these campaigns nor to any others in this election or any previous ones." Also, Olbermann said he had not "previously donated to any political campaign at any level."
But the revelation raised clear ethical issues.
Olbermann, a liberal commentator, gives his opinions each night on the air. But NBC News editorial staffers -- like journalists at most news organizations -- are forbidden from giving to political candidates. Also, Olbermann anchored election coverage Tuesday night without disclosing that he'd given to candidates who were running for office.
By punishing the network's biggest star, Griffin showed how little tolerance there is for hosts to make undisclosed political contributions while covering those political races.
An MSNBC spokesman told The Upshot that The Nation's Chris Hayes, an MSNBC contributor who has filled in before for Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, will host Friday night's show. Hayes has spoken publicly before about donating $250 to a friend's Congressional campaign in Alabama. [UPDATE: MSNBC now says Hayes will not be subbing tonight]
MSNBC already attracted criticism this week for having its liberal hosts and commentators anchor election night coverage. Typically, nonpartisan journalists anchor major news events—such as election results—while commentators like Bill O'Reilly (Fox News) or James Carville (CNN) offer analysis.
It's ironic that Olbermann gave to political candidates after criticizing Fox News because its owner, Rupert Murdoch, gave $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association. "Fox News has put its money where its mouth is," Olbermann said in an August segment that questioned the network's impartiality.
In October, Olbermann again raised the issue of Murdoch's donations, during an interview with Democratic Rep. James Clyburn. Olbermann asked whether there was "a legislative response to the idea that there is a national cable news outlet that goes beyond having a point of view and actually starts to shill for partisan causes and actually starts to donate to partisan groups of one party."

After the spying scandal involving Crystal Palace last weekend – after which a member of Cardiff's staff was dismissed for supplying inside information about team selection – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded a distinctly unpredictable lineup for this fixture, and pulled off a distinctly unpredictable result.
The goal came from the player they call Cala – Juan Torres Ruiz Cala – the 24-year-old centre-back who signed as a free agent from Sevilla in February. His sweet half-volley has given Cardiff fans renewed belief in miracles. When asked if the debacle, not to mention the performance, last weekend had galvanised the club going into this match, Solskjaer was adamant: "Yes," he said, "we've had issues." But, he continued: "It's all about us now.
"The pressure was on more than ever today.," he said. "I don't think many expected us to come here and take points. Southampton are a joy to watch. But [my players] all did their jobs and the atmosphere was great in the dressing afterwards."
Solskjaer made four changes to his starting XI, two of them enforced: Kenwyne Jones and Craig Noone were out with stomach and abdominal problems respectively, but – with the introduction of fresh players, Cala included – Solskjaer hoped his side would show the heart and steel that was missing in their torrid 3-0 defeat by Crystal Palace. They didn't, initially.
For the first hour of this match, Southampton produced a typically effervescent display. Each attack resembled a magician's trick, with speed, illusion and sleight of foot outfoxing Cardiff's defence. When you thought the ball was heading left, it went right. When you thought Rickie Lambert would take a touch and assess his options, he instinctively fed a deft flick to Adam Lallana, who had somehow ghosted into the box.
Critically, however, the Saints did not score. The closest they came was when Gastón Ramírez, in for Jay Rodriguez, who is out for six months with anterior cruciate ligament damage, rattled the bar with a deflected shot in the 22nd minute.
Having had just 34% of possession, Solskjaer somehow resisted the temptation to tinker with his side at the break (it is a temptation that often gets the better of him). Eventually, he brought on Wilfried Zaha, who proved a handful thereafter. Yet it was Cala who opened the scoring in the 65th minute, when he collected a clearance on the edge of the box, fooled the usually dependable Morgan Schneiderlin and Steven Davis with a dummy, and fired into the far corner of the net. The din that greeted the goal came in contrast to the silence before kick-off, which marked 25 years since the Hillsborough tragedy.
Southampton ought to have equalised when Schneiderlin's deliciously lobbed pass found the substitute Sam Gallagher in the box, but the danger was smothered by David Marshall, who then produced a super save from Nathaniel Clyne's stinging shot to keep Cardiff's lead intact. "He's one of the best keepers and we've thanked him many times after games," Solskjaer said.
Mauricio Pochettino rued the final result. "It was the easiest game we've played in terms of possession," he said. "But you learn from games like this. Cardiff were defending with nine men behind the ball and it's really difficult to break that down. I fully respect how the other team lines up. But we had control and ended up losing."

The Locus on Main Street is an eatery with a funky, grunge interior serving an eclectic menu.
Didn't expect much from this place since it does look more like a funky drinking/lounge-type place, but food was worse then expected. The host acted like it was such a chore to bring us to our table.
The appetizer platter was alright, except the lamb on the lamb skewer had gone sour, tasted like it had gone bad, but the waitress just said it was the marinade? What half-decent waiter says that? Our burger was average.
It might be a fun place to have drinks, but definitely won't be returning for the food or service (or lack of it).
I went for lunch at the bar on Saturday as I felt like having someone else cook after I had cut a piece off my index finger while engaged in food prep on Friday night (2.5 hours in emergency waiting for treatment--another story).
I had the elk burger with salad and pan fries. While the bartender took my order which included holding the mayo and the cheese, the owner came over to confirm it before he put the order in. The order was not that exotic. I started with a glass off Strongbow on tap. Always nice to have something other than the usual Growers and Okanagan varieties.
After I finished my cider, I asked for a glass of their BC merlot. They did not have any. Switched to chianti. The burger was good. The salad was fresh, albeit not terribly exciting.
I ended up talking to both the owner and the head chef. The owner indicated that the menu was shifting to take into account the more sophisticated tastes of the diners. The north wall of the restaurant would be repainted. (This means that the dark and murky ambiance might change.) The chef indicated that things like kangaroo would be added to the menu. There will continue to be four to six veggies per entree.
Overall, the Locus is okay, but I am not sure whether the kitchen staff is up to more sophisticated. Aurora Bistro down the street will likely continue to be Main Street's sophisticated restaurant for the forseeable future.
The table service can be hit and miss ( I have dined here about once a month since it opened).
As for ambiance, a repaint might be nice for the very very dark walls. The bar counter has been redone. The bar stools ned some help as it appears that most of them have burst a seam or two.
Went there for dinner. It was our first visit so we asked a couple question on the menu. The waitresses were very friendly and nice to provide us the details. We ordered the Choriza pasta and tuna sandwich. Both taste good. When we ordered the dessert, the waitress even provide the details of each of the item on the list, I thought that was pretty good, and sure it made us to order one.
It was the fruit flan which taste fine, but it cost a little bit much.
Afterall, we had a good expereience there.
Me and my husband come here often and there are a couple things that we always notice; the food is always amazing, however there is always a lack of staff. We usually come in for brunch on sat or Sunday and there are only two servers, which does not seem like a lot considering the size and amount of tables each of them have. Although we love this place, the atmosphere and the food, it always seems like they are always short staffed during brunch. My husband and I like to converse and joke with our waitresses, but they simply have no time b/c they have so many tables to look after. Although we love this place we feel like there is a lack of customer service, b/c they are always short staffed.We would really like to see more of our server . I feel bad because both my husband and i were in the food industry for years and can see their frustration and stress b/c both of us have been there too. Like we said we really enjoy this place, but we would like to see some changes on the service front.
I visited the locus last Saturday night with my girlfriend late (around eleven or so) to be given some very reputable service. We were served by the bartender, who wined and dined us fabulously. After we sat down she brought menus and water, explaining the daily specials were no longer available but the desserts were certainly worth a try. We asked her reccomendation on some white wine, to which she brought us a taster of both types we inquired about. Later we requested to get a dessert, which she reccomended their vanilla mango cheesecake (wow!) and even brought my girlfriend extra berry sauce when she mentioned she loved it. all in all the service was great and we'll be back again for sure!!
The Locus is a real neighbourhood restaurant; I wanted to bring my out-of-town guests for some brunch and local colour. There was some hesitancy on my part, since brunch can involve long waits, frantic service and some lacklustre egg dishes. However, this Sunday was like one that I have not seen for years. It reminded me why I love the Locus. The atmosphere and service were convivial. The owner was charming and the food was outstanding. The bread baskets were warm, the coffe strong and our bennies were spot-on. I suspect that some changes have been made since my last brunch experience there. What else can I say? I'm gushing...
Great place, one of my favorites. The first time i went for lunch i was pleasantly surprised by the unique atmosphere, music and customer base. Everything and everyone was friendly and upbeat. I ordered the tuna burger which was to die for. I was addicted. My girlfriend and I agreed to go three days later since i had been raving about it all weekend. We went for dinner this time and we we both equally impressed- again. I would definiately reccomend this place to anyone looking for a healthy, interesting place to grab a bite!
I've only ever had brunch here, but I've been lots and for years! It's always good and the coffee is delicious! What I love about this place is that it's not a greasy fry-pit but is actually quite fine with good, fresh, ripe ingredients and solid presentation. The service is sometimes a bit patchy and the owner is pleasant but always appears rushed, but overall I strongly recomment it.
I'd heard nothing but good things about Locus before I went here, and I was pretty disappointed.
Our service was okay at best, although our food came back wrong and we couldn't apparently get it customized to suit our tastes (as in, we asked for no tomato and ended up with it, twice). We had a large group and were put in tables literally across the restaurant from each other, despite making a reservation.
The food was NOT up to the hype at all. It was on the poor side of average, and we waited a fairly long time for it.
All in all, not impressed. I'm not going back.
My go-to restaurant, especially for a quick+easy brunch on Sundays! You can always count on decent service and decent food.
My boyfriend and I agree that breakfast here is WAY better than Denny's for the same price! Healthier food and a relaxed, yuppy atmosphere.
I always go back for the brunch menu and their elk burger. They had to substitute a kangaroo burger once, but it was equally delicious! Not super-duper food, but it's a unique menu and well-prepared. We just LOVE their bread + butter basket! Haven't been disappointed with their food yet!
I've been here four or five times now, and in all but one case had great food. I love the chili wrapped chicken appetizer, which has never dissapointed. The first reviewer's comment about cumin seems very odd, as in numerous meals I've never noticed much, if any, at all.
I've brought several friends & family here, and every one has had a good time & enjoyed the food.
Went here for a late night bite and drinks. Had the kangeroo burger which was very interesting. The burger was cooked perfectly, but i think kangeroo is an acquired taste. Order a pitcher of strawberry margaritas, which was awesome but a bit pricey at close to $20. The service was quite poor, it took us close to 20 minutes to get our bill.
All in all, i would probably go back...but not often.
I expected more from the buzz I've hear about this restaurant. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with avacado salsa and jalapeno cheese, it was pretty good! I really liked the mixed greens salad and the dressing was awesome. Service was pretty good, although 2 or 3 servers were helping me, I found that a bit odd? As far as the atmosphere, the grudgy and dark walls, the bizarre artwork, it isn't my thing. Even with the huge windows I just found it unnecessarily dark inside. I'll go back, but I wouldn't rave about The Locus.
I haven't been the The Locus in years and when I did I think it was always for drinks. My first time there for dinner was such a tasty surprise! Both my friend and I loved our meals (risotto and halibut sandwich), the portions were huge, the service was great, the place is beautiful, all in all a lovely evening out :)
I recently went to the Locus with a friend and had their eggs Benny special with shrimp and chorizo. The shrimp was fishy tasting and the chorizo tasted freeze dried. The meal was so bad that after eating a few bites I sent it back and my friend could not continue to eat hers either. We didn't have to pay which was nice of them but the food was not good. The service was also odd as we had 4 servers in 20 minutes.
The menu is exciting and interesting but doesn't live up to expectations.
Food lacks the subtlety you might expect from the prices and description!
But after the pitcher of Margaritas started going round things improved.
Wait staff more decorative that knowledgeable. All part of the show.
A funky outing for sure but not really worth the trouble unless you get a seat near the front and someone else is paying.
Maybe I'll get a tattoo and paint the dining room black...
Until then, I know I can go to the Locus to get that feeling.
We went to the Locus for a casual Monday late lunch. Our server seemed excited that we wanted to relax a bit and drink a lot and enjoy the view of the passengers getting off the #3 bus (seriously, best people watching ever). The food was decent, but not really out of this world. Granted we were there for drinks mostly and found that the tasting plate and baked brie suited us just fine. The decor is interesting. Overall I think of the Locus as the place to go when needing something reliable.
Wasn't busy, but the service was decent when I was there. Nice waitress took substitutions for every meal with no problems. Some how each of us got exactly what we wanted to eat. Tasty trout. Food could have been presented better, but it sure was tasty. Really neat atmosphere.
Ok first of all, This experience was some time ago, so maybe it would be better now. The food was terrible. Everything had cumin in it. Alot too. It was like the chef had just discovered it and thought it was some sort of miracle spice. Now the waitress, first of all if she was ever there. Second, there was this cup of coffee that appeared inocently enough. So I asked her very politely to remove the charge. She took the bill and brought it back. The coffee was still there. This happened again 3 times. Everytime I gave her back the bill she got even snottier. Why did she never check the bill before bringing it back. What was the problem with me asking her to take off this item we never ordered. This waitress was really nasty. Now she had dissapeared, I sure hope out of embarrassment. I told her co-waitress she was a total bitch and I would like the correct bill, and to leave. My waitress came back and told me that it was a bad idea to call her a bitch. I said why are you going to give us even worse service and over charge us more, with even worse attitude. Dont ever go here unless you want horrible food and even worse, abbusive service. If you are the owner of this establishment, stop hiring your friends / neighbors / and or waifs to staff your restaurant. Hire reputable peolpe whom will bring back business.
Another let down after promising myself not to go back there. We went as a group. Most people ordered the burger. The patties were pink. Not because it was undercooked (they were dry well done), but because they were sitting in the fridge more than 6-7 days. (Onions have such an effect in the meatballs or burgers) Any cook that lets that kind of protein out of the kitchen scares me to hell. Potatoes were burnt, like black burnt. Service was ok.
I tried this place 6-7 times. The ambience and the room is pretty decent. Other than that nothing really. I dont think i will be back.

Home>>France Photos>>River Seine
River Seine
Seine River
The Seine is a 776 km (482 mi)-long river and an important commercial waterway within the Paris Basin in the north of France. It rises at Saint-Seine near Dijon in northeastern France in the Langres plateau, flowing through Paris and into the English Channel at Le Havre (and Honfleur on the left bank). It is navigable by ocean-going vessels as far as Rouen, 120 km (75 mi) from the sea. Over 60% of its length, as far as Burgundy, is negotiable by commercial riverboats and nearly its whole length is available for recreational boating; excursion boats offer sightseeing tours of the Rive Droite and Rive Gauche within the city of Paris.
Seine River
The name "Seine" comes from the Latin Sequana.Some have argued that Sicauna is cognate to the name of Saone River, though an argued relationship to the River Shannon in Ireland is unlikely, given the very different forms of the two; Gaelic an tSiona, dative Sionainn is rather from Prehistoric Irish Sinona. Another proposal has it that Sequana is the Latin version of Gaulish Issicauna Lower-Icauna, which would be the diminutive of Icauna, which was the Gaulish name of the Yonne River. Some believe the ancient Gauls considered the Seine to be a tributary of the Yonne, which indeed presents a greater average discharge than the Seine (the river flowing through Paris would be called Yonne if the standard rules of geography were applied).
Some identify the river Sikanos, origin (according to Thucydides) of the Sicanoi of Sikelia (Sicily), with the river Sequana (Seine).
According to Pierre-Yves Lambert, a specialist of the Gaulish language, Sequana retains QV, that is unusual in Gaulish, which is normally a P-Celtic language, but he compares with the month name EQVOS, read on the Coligny Calendar. The name of the Gaulish tribe Sequani derives from it.
Seine River
The digram QV of Sequana could recover a whole syllable, that is to say [se-ku-wa-na], like ucuetis [u-ku-we-tis], but its meaning remains unknown.
There are 37 bridges within Paris and dozens more spanning the river outside the city. Examples in Paris include the Pont Louis-Philippe and Pont Neuf, the latter of which dates back to 1607. Outside the city, examples include the Pont de Normandie, one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world, which links Le Havre to Honfleur.
Taking a tour of Paris by boat is unparalleled as romantic experiences go. The city seems to be fanned out before you as you lazily drift down the Seine River or Paris' miles-long network of canals.
By taking a Paris boat tour, you can get a glimpse of some of the city's most mythical spots, enjoy a romantic dinner amid the soft glow of light on the water, or just sit back and revel in the fresh air and delicious floating in a scenic setting.
The best time to take a Paris boat tour is May through mid-September, when skies tend to be clearer and temperatures in Paris are generally warm. Fall and winter boat tours are still worthwhile, but keep in mind that wind from off the water and frequent rain can make sitting on the open-air deck less than desirable.
Seine River
Ah, the Seine river. No other river in the world has been the subject of such poetic fussing, frantic picture-taking, and all-around adulation. Touring Paris via the Seine river is a great way to get familiar with many of the city's most stunning monuments, historical buildings, and ornate bridges, including:Notre Dame Cathedral,Eiffel Tower,Musee du Louvre,Musee d'Orsay,Assemblee Nationale (The National Assembly building),Hotel des Invalides,Pont Neuf (Paris' oldest bridge, dating to the 16th century),Pont Alexandre III (Art Nouveau bridge dating to 1896),Grand Palais (Belle Epoque building housing National Galleries)
