Bill O'Reilly And here's what Instapundit has to say about Bill O'Reilly. So Bill O'Reilly does not like the internet. And if it happens to be because people say stuff that isn't true about him. I WOULD BE WHINNING JUST LIKE HIM! Wouldn't you?~Maddy 4:07 PM Comment
Countdown 1 more day of school!~Maddy 3:49 PM Comment
Internet Safety As you know, there are a lot of wackos in the world. And some of these wackos get to little munchkins (as my teacher would say) though the internet. Why? Because they can say they are kids and start getting to know this child and possible send false pictures of them selves. Therefore, the "Don't talk to strangers" rule does not apply. Then next thing you go the wacko asking the kid to meet them and pow. What I don't understand about this topic is common sense. I mean this topic is basically ignored in today's world. So kids aren't aware of this topic…~Maddy 3:46 PM Comment
Fancy Blogs VS. Blogger Blog Calblog and alot of other people do not use blogger anymore, however I do. The are many pros to Calblog's new site. For example, with this new site, you can have a SEARCH option so you can find something easily. However, if you press CTRL and F at the same time you can do the same thing. Another con, is the cost. Unlike Blogspot, Fancy Blogs aren't very cheap. For me, since I just do this for fun, it isn't worth it since I'm a kid. But for other people, it may be worth it...~Maddy 5:25 PM Comment

Go Athens As I may of metioned on this blog before, in class we do a Greek simulation thing. I am in Athens. Today was the big day...The day we found out who won the simulation. Guess who won? ATHENS! I was so happy. We did fates and Sparta (our enemy) lost -40 point per citizen and Athens got +40, I just wanted to sing. ~Maddy 5:08 PM Comment
For my Bill O'Reilly Fans... I have been meaning to write about this. Anyway, Bill O Reilly talked about the Matrix Cons. And he's right. I mean guys flying around? How is that possible? And what is is with the sunglasses at night? 8:48 PM Comment

Summer Plans School ends on Wednesday. 3 more days. (Hurray!) So here are my plans: (Besides Sleeping) On Saturday, my grandparents come which is very good since I have not seen them in quite a while Starting July 14: I'm going to Horse Camp. I've been there before. In fact, its the same place where Marykate Olsen goes. She has a pony named CD which anyone can ride. I have rode CD a couple of times. Amanda said she saw Marykate and talked to her there, but I don't believe her. Cruise (August 8): Well I can't say much yet, cause I don't know much about it. All I can say is I'm going with my grandparents/cousins/Aunts/Uncles to Alaska! Which shall be fun~Maddy 8:15 PM Comment
Summer Fever Since school is almost out, life there is pell-mell (5th grade vocabulary). We also get letured a lot more than we use to because we are talking quite a lot more than we did in say September. I am going to another school next year--LCHS. I'm going to be a 7th grader. Yes, onward to Middle School I go. So, I'm enjoying my last few weeks at Elementary School--forever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever.~Maddy 3:56 PM Comment
Babysitting Me and Amanda are babysitting today... together. We get 5 dollars per hour. So that's $2.50 per hour which is pretty good since we are doing it together.~Maddy 4:22 PM Comment

It may be getting harder to sneak into the United States, but once you've arrived, getting fake documents in Florida is a piece of cake.
Check it out:
Counterfeit, altered or stolen birth certificates coming from Puerto Rico are the Holy Grail to Florida's undocumented. With a phony birth certificate you can live the American dream. You can also enroll in school, land a job and get a driver's license. (It has also been estimated that up to 40 percent of the passport fraud in the United States involves counterfeit or stolen birth certificates from Puerto Rico.)
The racket was made possible thanks to a law passed in 1917 by Congress, which granted U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. Now, desperate economic times together with eye-popping profits have created a black market where for as little as $25 a birth certificate can be bought and later resold for $5,000.

When tossing the cardboard tube from tin foil into the recycling bin, we've often marveled at how amazingly sturdy they are. So when we read about this DIY project, we figured it would be a great way to reuse the tubes, and that it wouldn't seem flimsy or cheap on the table...
Over at Merrimentdesign.com, Kathy has a great How To with tons of photos. The process is fairly simple:
1. Cut the cardboard tube
2. Cover with fabric
3. Glue
She also smartly covers the inside seam with a ribbon (see above) which is a nice detail. One tube yields 8 napkin rings—perfect for your next dinner party!

Well, some of my collegues here on the blog have given a little more freindly intro to who they are. So I guess I'll do the same. I'm Jake England. I've been married for about 7 yrs. I started dating my wife about 11 or twelve years ago, still love her like nothin' else. We have three cute little girls. Yes three. Its quite a handful, and my home is overwhelmingly feminine at times. Can't wait until they are teenagers. I'm so glad to be their dad though, we sure have a lot of fun. My family and I enjoy the outdoors a lot, and my little girls love to ride in Daddy's '79 Landcruiser. I have to admit, I may have had some influence on Jake Smith's addiction to the classic car he mentioned in his intro. I have sentimental ties to mine. I had a '76 landcruiser when I met my wife we did a lot of off roading and hiking while dating. It just always brings back memories.
I fell into home design while pursuing a career in architectural illustration. Art is another hobby, my wife is also very good [better] at it and has recently started selling modern paintings here and there. Architecture is something I have always enjoyed, and will probably always be involved in. I have remodeled with my wife an old victorian home built in 1907, then we built a cape code style home, and more recently a craftsman style home which we love. Recently though, we purchased a new building lot around the corner which will have less traffic, more space and more privacy. Soooo, looks like I'll be starting over. At least I get to try another one of my designs. Its always nice to see a design built and know how it turns out. Well, enough for now... if you've read this far. I hope you're entertained. More on home design to come.

Perl has a bewildering array of choices, some you probably already know -w(warnings), -T(tainting) and -i (inline editing), but the rest?:
(from perl --help)
Usage: perl [switches] [--] [program file] [arguments]
-0[octal] specify record separator (\0, if no argument)
-a autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into @F)
-C enable native wide character system interfaces
-c check syntax only (runs BEGIN and CHECK blocks)
-d[:debugger] run program under debugger
-D[number/list] set debugging flags (argument is a bit mask or alphabets)
-e 'command' one line of program (several -e's allowed, omit programfile)
-F/pattern/ split() pattern for -a switch (//'s are optional)
-i[extension] edit <> files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
-Idirectory specify @INC/#include directory (several -I's allowed)
-l[octal] enable line ending processing, specifies line terminator
-[mM][-]module execute `use/no module...' before executing program
-n assume 'while (<>) { ... }' loop around program
-p assume loop like -n but print line also, like sed
-P run program through C preprocessor before compilation
-s enable rudimentary parsing for switches after programfile
-S look for programfile using PATH environment variable
-T enable tainting checks
-t enable tainting warnings
-u dump core after parsing program
-U allow unsafe operations
-v print version, subversion (includes VERY IMPORTANT perl info)
-V[:variable] print configuration summary (or a single Config.pm variable)
-w enable many useful warnings (RECOMMENDED)
-W enable all warnings
-X disable all warnings
-x[directory] strip off text before #!perl line and perhaps cd to directory
Here we're going to be looking at options we can use with command line scripts, so those opts whose usage falls outside this spec, are beyond the scope of this document and will not be presented for your delectation, though for the curious a full description of what each and every option does can be found in perlrun.
Options covered herein therefor and whencebefore:
-e, -p, -n,-l, -0,-a, -F, -M
perl -e '$date=localtime(time); print $date;'
you could pass a 200 line script like this - though you might find it a pain to write all on one line. With '-e' beware of quoting though - try running this :
perl -e "$date=localtime(time); print $date;"
Windows (using command.com) prefers double quotes, but the above won't work in on *nix, where shells prefer single quotes, and is the style used for the rest of this tutorial. MacOS users (>=OS9) can get more info about command line switches and using them in MacPerl here.
perl -e '$date=localtime(time); print $date,"\n";'
but all that quoting gets you carpal tunnel syndrome fast, instead try this:
perl -l -e '$date=localtime(time); print $date;'
-l is used with -n and -p and has a dual nature - on input it behaves like chomp(), automatically removing newline characters, while on output, as we've seen, it becomes the anti-chomp, adding newlines.
caveat: it works it's magic only on print()
while(<>) { }
(Puzzled by this code example?: the empty diamond operator '<>' means it expects input from outside the script).
Try passing a text file to this one-liner and see how many words have "ear"s :
perl -l -n -e 'print $1 if /(\w+ear)/' some.txt
Ok I lied, there is a difference between the longhand perl while (<>) { } statement and -n: you can't use next or last to exit the loop - however you can use BEGIN{ } and END { } blocks to get pre and post loop code, run a text file containing some numbers through this baby:
perl -l -n -e 'BEGIN{$sum=0;} $sum=$sum+ $1 if /(\d+)/;print $1; END { +print "Total: ",$sum}'
while(<>) { print ; }
(Puzzled by this code example?: the empty print statement means it prints the $_ variable).
Run a text through this script and tell it like it is:
perl -l -p -e 's/Microsoft/Micro\$\$\$oft/g' some.txt
Remember the same caveat applies to -p as -n - you can't break out of the loop with next or last. You can use BEGIN{ } and END { } blocks however:
perl -l -n -e 'BEGIN{open (OUT,/path/to/file || die } print if /^.*\w +{2,}.*$/gm; END {close (OUT); }'
in longhand:
(Puzzled by this code example?: this means the same as @_=split (' ',$_).)
The resulting data is put into an array called @F, needs to be used with either -n or -p. Run a text or string through this script and print out the 5th word of each line:
perl -l -a -n -e 'print $F[5]' some.txt
If you need to split data on something other than whitespace use -Fpatt (split pattern):
perl -l -a -F: -n -e 'print $F[0]' /etc/passwd
perl -012 -e ...
You can set any character to be the record separator by giving its octal value to -0. Caveat programmer - by assigning a value to -0 it will logically also affect -l.
There are two special octal codes which are used for paragraph mode and slurp mode respectively:
-00 ( paragraph mode) -0777 (slurp mode)
(Puzzled by this code topic?: when perl reads in a file it breaks the data into lines by looking for a newline (\n) character by default. This behaviour can be changed by putting a new value into the $/ variable, notably $/="" tells perl to see two or more consecutive empty lines as a single empty line allowing you to read in paragraphs at a time, instead of lines. $/="undef" will allow you to read in a whole file. Like a reminder to the truth of relativity and the relativity of truth, Perl's \n doesn't have a fixed value, panning across systems it's \012 on Unix, on Windows \015\012 and pre OSX Mac \015, so dealing with files originating from other OS needs means your \n, wasn't their\n.)
-M like use Module; -m is like use Module();
(Puzzled by this code topic?: when you use a module you have two choices:
(a) to pull the functions from the module into your script so you can call them as if they were in your script:
use Wallace(gromit); $saveTheDay=gromit(data);
b) leave them where they are and call them by their full name:
Useful for quick checking a module version
perl -l -MNet::Telnet -e'print $Net::Telnet::VERSION'
or grabbing a web page
perl -MLWP::Simple -e '$content = get("http://www.perlmonks.org/") +;print $content'

Denise Richards "Would Do Anything" for Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen's Boys
Denise Richards is way more than just your average babysitter. 4-year-old twins Bob and Max Sheen are now staying with the actress after the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services removed them from the home of their trouble mother, Brooke Mueller, sources confirm to Us Weekly. Both women are ex-wives to Charlie Sheen, and Richards, 42, has similarly helped out in the past.
PHOTOS: Denise and Charlie's odd romance
"They've been under her care may times before," a source explains to Us. Both Mueller, 35, and Sheen, 47, have struggled with drug and alcohol abuse (and legal trouble) over the years, and authorities recently deemed Mueller's home an "unsafe environment" for the boys. "This isn't unusual," the source explains of the latest situation. "Truthfully, Denise and [her daughters] are the only consistency those poor kids have had."
PHOTOS: Denise's dating history
Richards, who has spoken of her commitment to helping out Sheen and Mueller before, "loves" the boys "and would never say no," the source says. "She would raise 1,000 kids if she could. It's not in her nature to turn away someone in need." Richards is mom to daughters Sam, 9, and Lola, 7, with Sheen, and adopted daughter, Eloise, 22 months. "The girls consider the twins their siblings," the insider adds. "This is their family and Denise would do anything for them."
PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen's craziest controversies
Adds another source: "Everyone agrees that that was the best decision. Denise is a phenomenal mother and she loves those boys like her own."
Sheen, meanwhile, is "truly grateful that [Denise] is here for the kids," the first source adds.

Thermogravimetry was used to study the oxidation behaviour of a lamellar Ti46Al8Nb alloy during holding at 700°C in synthetic air. A parabolic plot of the oxidation kinetics shows three different regimes over the total duration (50 h) of the tests corresponding to decreasing values of the parabolic rate constant. The oxide scale was characterized by glancing-angle X-Ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The scale was found to be bi-layered with an outer part that consists of amorphous aluminium rich oxide whilst the inner layer is made of very small cristalites of titania distributed in the same amorphous oxide.

Good afternoon,
I just wanted to say how fantastic I think Maths Online is.
I have been teaching Maths for 13 years and have yet to find a product that even comes close to delivering what you do. I love the clear, concise explanations, the easy-to-follow layout and the additional questions and support materials provided.
So, congratulations on a job well done. Schools would be crazy not to use Maths Online!
Kerrin Manthey
Director of Teaching and Learning
Toowoomba Christian College, QLD
Mathsonline is a real winner for our families!
Our students not only enjoy doing maths this way but they're also asking their teachers for more help. It's a valuable resource for students who want to improve their basic skills as well as for those who want to extend themselves. Participation in the program builds a student's confidence.
Mathsonline is being used in classes as well as at home. Teachers are able to monitor their students' progress and make informed decisions about how best to support their learning. Parents too can see how their child is going – they get a weekly progress report emailed to them.
Mrs Nina Pascoe
Assistant Principal
Irymple Secondary College, Vic
To MathsOnline Creators,
I just wanted to send you an email complimenting this amazing program.
I am in Year 12 and am completing the Mathematics course via distance education.
I am progressing well through the subject at home, but MathsOnline reiterates the specific lessons, furthering my education.
It's great to have an extra place to find information and examples.
It also shows different examples to my textbooks, which better equips me for examinations. MathsOnline is friendly, not patronising - which some mathematics assistance websites/tutors can be.
I very much appreciate this service, so I would like to thank you for creating it :)
Keep up the good work !!
Monica Bowerman
Student, NSW
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on a product that our students have really appreciated and used extensively. Maths Online is an outstanding resource for students to consolidate or review their knowledge on a particular topic. The videos, worksheets and solutions, allow students to work in their own space and time. It allows teachers to get a detailed set of solutions and explanations to typical Mathematics questions.
Glenn Abrahams
Head of Faculty - Mathematics
Saint Ignatius College, Riverview NSW
We are a laptop school up to Year 10 and we have found that using mathsonline has given our students a better understanding of many mathematical concepts. The students have really enjoyed the innovative approach to learning and the interactive nature of the assessments.
Phil Brockbank
Head of Mathematics
All Saints' College WA
Maths Online has been an excellent way to help students who need to consolidate knowledge, students who have missed school for whatever reason, and students who want to gain an overview of a topic. It's also a great way to set homework tasks. An excellent resource, well done!
The Maths Dept.
Green Point Christian College NSW
Dear Mathsonline Team,
This is absolutely fantastic! At the age of 45 I am going to finally learn all the maths I didn't understand at school. We find that we run into trouble because maths in our day was done differently and causes confusion. This will substantially reduce the stress levels in our household because as parents we will be able to see how these equations are worked out.
Thank you once again, enlightenment is near.
Sally Hudson
Parent, VIC
Maths Online has been a fantastic resource for our students, both high ability and lower ability. Some students have completed up to forty lessons in their own time! Both teachers and students alike have found it to be accessible and accurate; one of our teachers has even been using it to help refresh her memory for when she tackles the Mathematics course next year.
The Maths Faculty
Albury High School NSW
Maths Online processes reflect the approach that we use when teaching in the class room. Students adapt quickly and easily. It is easy to assign tasks to a class or an individual.
Maths Online is an excellent, well configured resource to use when setting homework and unit revision tasks. Students who are absent from class can use the tutorials to 'catch-up' on work that they have missed.
My students love it and always want to do well! Easy to set up, easy to manage, very useful for homework and very sustainable - less paper!
John Penman
Head of Mathematics
New Town High School, TAS
We are just starting to use Maths On-line and exploring how it can be used as a learning tool. So far we have found it useful for:
We are very grateful for the opportunity to use Maths On-line and will continue to embed it into our school program.

Chocolate-Oatmeal Moon Pies
Have you heard the saying, sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts?
It took me a while to figure that out as a child. Math was always my favorite subject in school. And in math we are taught that the whole is supposed to be equal to the sum of its parts. It doesn't make any sense, until you eat these cookie moon pie things and finally understand.
I found these cookies in the February issue of Bon Appetit. Its two chocolate oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with marshmallow fluff and drizzled with a little melted dark chocolate. Its heaven and hell all in one bite. This whole moon pie is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
You can thank Chef Stephen Stryjewski of Cochon in New Orleans for these goodies. This month's issue of Bon Appetit is all about Southern soulful food. There are a lot of great savory dishes that I'd love to make. Better yet, I'm a bit tempted to visit Georgia or South Carolina for some good comfort food.
Especially with Mardi Gras tomorrow, these are the perfect cookies to indulge in before Lent begins.
Yield: makes about 18 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats 1 cup dried tart cherries, chopped 1 cup pecans, lightly toasted and chopped 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla paste 14 oz marshmallow cream (fluff) chocolate dipping sauce 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 Tbsp honey 1/2 cup heavy cream 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, toss together oats, dried cherries, toasted pecans, and chocolate chips. Set aside. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until incorporated. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry flour mixture in three additions. Mix until just blended. Fold in oat mixture until evenly distributed. 4. Use a 1 oz ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons to scoop out balls of dough. Arrange dough onto a parchment lined sheet tray. You should end up with 36 pieces. Gently flatten each ball of dough with the palm of your hand. 5. Bake cookies for 12 minutes. Rotate the sheet trays and then back for another 6 minutes until cookies are golden brown and the center is still slightly soft. Let cookies cool on sheet trays. 6. Once cookies have cooled, spread 1 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff on the bottom of 18 cookies. Pair the remaining 18 cookies with similar size/shape bottom cookies. Sandwich the cookies together. 7. To make the chocolate drizzle sauce, bring the cream to a boil. Place chopped chocolate and honey in a medium bowl. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Let mixture stand for 1-2 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap to kept warmth inside. Then stir mixture until chopped chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. 8. Drizzle chocolate over prepared cookie sandwiches and enjoy.Chocolate-Oatmeal Moon Pies

A FMARS Field Season lasting 4 months shot documentary style and edited together for 12 episodes for the Science Channel, TVLand, G4, truTV, or Discovery Channel. Mars Desert Research Station [MDRS] Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station [FMARS] They have cameras and have shot stuff themselves. but bring in an outside professional TV crew of 2 producer-shooters to shoot fly-on-the-wall style. 4 or 5 crews total rotating in and out for 4 or days in a row No they would not live there, they would work in 12-hour shifts and an occasional 3rd shooter would come by for the outdoor tests/simulations. Possibly the production would have a insulated mobile home parked 1/2 a mile away for the crews to live for 3 days at a time and then a night at a motel. All of the beauty shots of the HAB location would be shot in 2 or 3 visits with different weather and a jib/crane along with helicopter shots once or twice over 4 months. Here is the website of the field season of both locations. The Arctic one would be a lot harder logistically. http://desert.marssociety.org/index.asp http://arctic.marssociety.org/2009/ A show like MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" (2004) was shot over 6 months and edited for 12 episodes instead of a competition-based reality series shot over 41 days. My idea kind of reminds me of MTV's "The Real World" in the early 90's [not the 2000s] The residents are all scientists. The activities outside of the HAB would be visually interesting and the relationships of them interacting inside are like "The Real World". Would it be interesting once edited? What do you think?
Hmm scientists conducting experiments all day and arguing over how the saline solution should be used. I see epic boredom in your future. Personally I might watch an hour or so but without the "scripted" conflict the show would be very dull.
I see your point. Possibly we'll start to see 1 hour documentaries based on the 4 months of a season. Less reality-drama and more science... gotta be The Science Channel or maybe even NASA TV channel.
I agree. A series needs to have drama in order to keep an audience interested. If the scientists aren't creating conflict amongst themselves, or if their experiments aren't producing profound new discoveries, then there is nothing to captivate viewers.

SACRAMENTO â" A November measure that would prohibit political donations from employee payroll deductions is trailing among likely voters, according to a new poll concluded just as the measureâs supporters and opponents launched television ads.
Todayâs survey by the Field Poll and Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley found that 38 percent of voters support Prop. 32, 44 percent oppose it and 18 percent are undecided.
Supporters say the measure would reduce the role of corporate and union campaign cash in government. But organized labor has attacked the measure as a one-sided attempt to choke off unionsâ political voice.
The campaign will be one of the major ballot fights for November. Unions had contributed more than $38 million to the main opposition committee through Thursday. Proponents have raised about $7 million, including $4 million last week from an organization linked to the conservative Koch brothers.
Voters rejected measures in 1998 and 2005 that would have restricted employee payroll deductions for union political purposes. Todayâs poll shows signs that the same groups that opposed those measures â" mainly Democrats and union households â" already are leaning against Prop. 32.
âI would definitely say that this is ominous for Prop. 32,â Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said of the results.
Only a handful of ballot measures have trailed in early polls and ended up winning. The most recent was Prop. 8 in 2008. The initiative to ban same-sex marriage was slightly behind in early polls but narrowly won.
Todayâs poll was conducted Sept. 6 through 18. Both sides started running TV ads Sept. 18.
Jake Susk, a spokesman for the Yes-on-32 campaign, said opponents are using âpartisan scare tacticsâ against the measure. Voters, he said, ultimately will decide to cut the ties between politicians and corporate and union money.
Brian Brokaw of the No-on-32 campaign said the poll shows likely voters are wise to the initiativeâs true purpose.
âOnce you take off the shiny wrapping paper this thing is covered in, you realize itâs stuffed with exemptions put in by the people who paid to put it on the ballot,â Brokaw said.
Fifty-two percent of Democrats oppose the measure, and the same percentage of Republicans support it. DiCamillo said he expects both numbers to grow as campaigning increases and the election nears.
âIt indicates that opinions may not be fully formed on this,â DiCamillo said.
The poll also surveyed likely voters on last monthâs legislation that overhauled public pensions.
It found that likely voters who support Prop. 32 are almost three times as likely to feel the changes didnât go far enough. More voters who oppose the measure think the changes went too far.
Todayâs Field Poll was conducted for The Press-Enterprise and other California media subscribers. Interviews were conducted with 1,183 California registered voters, including 902 likely to vote in November. The full sample has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points, and a smaller sample has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.

African Americans' Concept of Health May Be More Than Physical
Available for logged-in reporters only
Ethnicity and Disease
Release Date: February 13, 2014 | By Katherine Kahn, HBNS Contributing Writer
Research Source: Ethnicity and Disease
* A survey of church-going African Americans found that those who rated their own health as poor were more likely to be obese, engage in less physical activity and have poorer diets.
* Some respondents who were overweight or had high blood pressure also rated their own health as good.
Newswise — Researchers suggest that social support afforded by church and differing perceptions of health status may explain the discrepancy in self-rated and physical health.
Self-rated health—or, a person's perception of their own health—has been shown to be a strong predictor of illness and even death. A new study in the journal Ethnicity and Disease finds that African-Americans with poorer self-rated health tend to be overweight or obese, engage in less physical activity, and have poorer diets. But another, unexpected finding is that many African Americans with serious chronic health problems rate their health as good or even excellent.
"Self-rated health hasn't been studied very much in African Americans," lead study author Meghan Baruth, Ph.D., of the University of South Carolina explained. "We wanted to see what factors—both disease-related and people's behaviors—are associated with self-rated health in this population," she says.
Baruth's study analyzed data from over 1,200 participants in the Faith, Activity and Nutrition program, a 15-month program that promoted healthy behaviors such as physical exercise and healthy eating choices in 74 African Methodist Episcopal churches in South Carolina.
Baruth found that African Americans who rated their health highly were less likely to have diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis or obesity. Participants with higher self-rated health were also more likely to be physically active, and eat less fat and more fiber. They also reported lower levels of stress.
Surprisingly, many participants still rated their health highly despite having a high number of chronic health conditions. "A lot of people had hypertension and obesity, and they really didn't engage in healthy behaviors, but they still rated their own health as good to excellent," says Baruth.
One explanation might be the benefits of church attendance, study authors speculated. "Our follow-up analysis found that those who had higher church attendance also had higher self-rated health," said Baruth. Having larger social networks and support from regular church attendance may negate the influence of poor health and unhealthy behaviors, the authors said.
Winston Wong, M.D., director of Disparities Improvement and Quality Initiatives at Kaiser Permanente, who is not associated with the study, suggested that this unexpected finding might also reflect what's considered "healthy" in the African American community. "For example, high blood pressure may be regarded as a 'normal' part of the aging process. Since it commonly has very few symptoms, individuals may perceive their health as relatively good, even though their blood pressure may be untreated or insufficiently controlled," he said.
Since the norm for "average" health might include many people with serious chronic conditions, study participants who rated their health as "poor" may have an especially pronounced risk of poor health outcomes, he explained.
Nevertheless, the study suggests that "the importance of emotional, psychological and spiritual health—[they] can have as much relevance to individuals as physiologic measures of health or the diagnosis of a medical condition," Wong commented.

Employee Strike Lawyers
Locate a Local Employment Lawyer
What Is a Strike?
A strike occurs when a labor union cannot reach an agreement with the employer. Once the bargaining parties cannot agree, a union has the option to call a strike. If the workers agree, they leave their jobs and usually picket outside the company or plant to illustrate the employer's unfairness. Nonunion employees cannot strike because only a union may legally call a strike.
What Are My Rights as a Striker?
The right to strike is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Freedom of speech gives striking workers the right to picket and conduct other strike activities.
Can an Employee Strike Ever Be Illegal?
Though union employees have a right to strike, not all strikes are legal. Here are some types of illegal strikes:
- Violent strikes - no violence is allowed in any type of strike
- "Sit down" strikes - A sit-down strike is when employees strike by staying in the plant and not working
- Wildcat strikes - when a minority of workers calls their own strike. This kind of strike is illegal because only a union may call a strike
- Picketing - employees can picket outside a company or plant; however, they cannot deny entrance to replacement workers or management
- Secondary boycotts - a strike directed at someone other than the strikers' employer
Can an Employer Hire Workers to Replace Employees on Strike?
When employees strike, employers have the right to continue business. Employers may find substitute workers and may even give them permanent positions.
How is a Strike Different from a Lockout?
A lockout is an employer's version of a strike. A lockout occurs when the employer shuts down its company or plant. Lockouts are legal only if the employer can show some economic justification. This prevents employers from using lockouts to wrongfully pressure unions or employees.
Do I Need a Lawyer for My Employee Strike Problem?
A strike can be a tense situation. An experienced labor law attorney can help you understand you rights and responsibilities as a union member or an employer. A labor lawyer can also advise you of any compensation you may be entitled to.

Up to now nothing like that has happened. The US has been able to fund its current account deficit because other countries, in particular Japan, have been prepared to carry on investing in the States. Inflows on capital account have matched, or frequently exceeded, the outflow on current account.
As a result the US has been transformed from being the world's largest creditor nation to the world's largest debtor (see left-hand graph). However, the inward flow of capital postponed any day of reckoning: those of us who believed that the current account deficit would eventually result in a dollar collapse have so far been proved wrong.
Meanwhile, the long US boom, now into its eighth year, has ended the other US deficit, the fiscal deficit. Rising tax revenues and falling welfare payments have succeeded where Congress failed.
Or so it seemed. The fiscal outlook remains benign but the external deficit has suddenly become a serious concern. One of the reasons for the sharp falls of the dollar in the last few days has apparently been a worry about the sustainability of the current account deficit.
Why does a problem that has been simmering for years suddenly blow up? There seem to be at least three reasons for this change of mood. First, the sudden further deterioration of the current account last year as East Asian exports to the US soared and exports fell. Second, the launch of the euro. And third, the surge in bond yields in Japan.
Last year the current account deficit was running at an annual rate more than $200bn - we don't have final figures but the third quarter was a deficit of $61bn. That is very large, of course, but no worse as a percentage of GDP than it was in the late 1980s. There was, however a qualitative difference from the 1980s deficit. Quite aside from the trade deficit there was, for the first time, also a deficit on investment income. The interest on all those debts was now being added to the principal.
In other words, America is now borrowing to pay the interest on its borrowings. You do not need a degree in international economics to appreciate that this is not a sustainable situation. Yesterday Goldman Sachs drew attention to this phenomenon, and used that word "unsustainable" - which is interesting, because up to now US commentators have tended to be relatively relaxed about the mounting US indebtedness. They have seen the inflow of capital as a statement of faith in US competitiveness and stability (which of course it is), rather than a reflection that Americans live above their means.
The second new event is the euro. In theory the euro ought not to make much difference to international investment patterns, for it is only the amalgam of the various European currencies. Anyone investing in it now could have achieved much the same effect by investing in marks, francs, lire and so on in the appropriate proportions.
But in practice the euro does change things, because it creates a simple practical alternative to the dollar. Any non-US, non-European investor has another place to pop funds, backed by the output of an economy of more or less similar size to the States. And "Euroland" has a current account surplus too.
So expect some dollar weakness and some euro strength in the months ahead as portfolio managers gradually rebalance their portfolios.
Third, there is Japan. The Japanese, as noted above, have been the principal investors in the US and particularly in US Treasury securities. One of the forces propelling Japanese money is that it would earn a much higher return in the US than it could in Japan. Ludicrously low Japanese interest rates were the culprit. In the last six weeks, while short-term money market rates have remained very low, there has been a doubling of the yield available on Japanese government bonds - a rise from below 1 per cent to nearly 2 per cent (see right-hand graph).
To Americans and Britons, 2 per cent may not sound very much, but since deflation has a firm grip, the real yield is perhaps 3.5 per cent, which is actually higher than the real yield of either US or UK securities - or euro ones for that matter.
Add to this the need for Japanese financial institutions to sell liquid assets to repair their balance sheets after the devastation of bad debts, and suddenly there is a practical case for repatriating funds from America.
We are still some way from the doomsday scenario, where a withdrawal of Japanese funds leads to a collapse in US financial markets. Nevertheless it was significant that earlier this week, Eisuke Sakakibara, the Japanese Ministry of Finance official known as "Mr Yen", said that the US economy was "fairly bubble-like". That does not quite constitute an instruction for Japanese holders of US securities to sell, but it does indicate a rising concern in Japan at the durability of the long US boom.
There are a couple of rules that anyone trying to explain the movements of financial markets need to follow. One is that it is always very difficult to get the timing right - in fact you know you will get the timing wrong - so that even when something is inevitable you may have to wait years for it to happen. The other is that momentum is an immensely powerful force in markets, so that they tend to overshoot.
Put these two together and apply it to the Japan/US financial imbalance which has continued now for more than 15 years and what do you say? Simply that we may be moving at last into the end-game for the US current account deficit and that Japan will play the key role in the correction to come.

Swatcharama - Revlon Lipsticks
20 comments:
I love Revlon lipstick. It's really the first brand I used as soon as I could wear makeup. My girlfriend uses Cherries in the Snow and looks gorgeous in it. On me it just doesn't look as good so I don't own it. You have gorgeous full lips. I sadly have a thin upper lip but I do make it larger. Lipstick is my first love and then nail polish.
ReplyDeleteNiamh Buckley Make-Up:
Thank you! They're a pain to photo but lovely and easy to write :P
It's actually nicer in real life! It's this fab unique pink blue red colour.
:) I can't pull off nude or sheer lippies!
Aww that's a shame! Maybe you just haven't found the right one yet :)
Lemon Bunny/Mandy:
You're welcome! It's a very pretty colour and very shiny too!
Kirsty B:
Oh God yeah I probably have about 20 red lippies :P But the matte red is fantastic!
Miss Bekka:
Aww you flatterer! <3
Aww thank you! We share taste in Revlon it would seem! :D
I know it's weird! It was the best photo I could get but it doesn't look like a red at all! :/ And thank you too!
I actually 'borrowed' (i.e. Stole) a mini Cherries in the Snow lipstick from my Mum when I was about ten, the first red lippie I ever 'owned' :P Thank you so much, I have quite a tiny mouth in proportion with my face but I do think my lips are quite a nice shape. And I'm with you, lipsticks are my favourite ever item of makeup.
Aww you're so nice! It's one of my favourite lippies :)
Ha ha I have a tonne of Lip Tars already but I 'need' some of the new ones. And I always just want more and more lipsticks! The matte red is one of my favourite ever lipsticks.
I really really wanted the Fire and Ice but I think it's not abvailable any more :( Boo hoo!
I need the nail polish myself! :D

This was a really quick lunch we had recently on a day off from school. I know Huevos Rancheros are supposed to be a breakfast dish, but, I made them for lunch and it worked out. I also think that Huevos Rancheros traditionally calls for fried eggs, but I am not an expert, so I don't know for sure. I am not calling this an authentic dish, so feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I am just using the recipe title that was in the magazine. I served them at the wrong time of day and made them untraditionally, but they were still good.
This is a quick meal and it starts out with a really fast blender salsa. You cook everything in the same pan, so there aren't alot of dishes to worry about.
I added some cumin and chili powder to the black beans, just so we could have a tad bit more flavor.
This recipe was really fast and I could see it fitting easily into our favorite meals.
I like eggs and beans. They are pretty basic and this is a fun way to get them into your diet. So, if you have a few minutes, try serving these for breakfast, or lunch, or really, whenever you want.
Huevos Rancheros From Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1 small onion, quartered
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1 jalapeño chile, halved and seeded
Cooking spray
7 large eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
8 small corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup light sour cream (I used Greek Yogurt)
1. Using a food processor, pulse together the tomatoes, onion, cilantro and jalapeño until chunky. 2. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the eggs, season with salt and pepper and scramble for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
3. Wipe out the skillet, add the beans and 2 tablespoons water and cook over medium heat until warmed through; transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the skillet, add the salsa, season with salt and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Divide the tortillas among 4 plates and top with the beans, eggs, salsa, cheese, sour cream and cilantro.

Yeah, traditional huevos rancheros uses a fried egg, and a red sauce (like enchilada sauce)and I think the tortilla may be briefly fried in oil.
This version sounds much healthier though. And delicious. - April 26, 2009 at 2:37 AM

Michael, who joined the OU in its inaugural year to study for a degree, spent ten years learning the art of making string instruments in the workshop of his home at Polstead, Suffolk.
Now 75, he remains in touch with the education world through crafting and repairing instruments for local schools where he believes music is an important part of the curriculum.
His own parents steered him away from music, and from the career working with his hands which he believes he probably ought to have pursued.
"I loved music. but I wasn't allowed to learn it as a child," he said. "My grandmother played the piano at silent films and one of my earliest memories is sitting on her knee with this huge screen right above my head."
Interestingly, he might not have encountered the same opposition to a career as a craftsman today.
Each year around 30 new violin makers are trained.
Michael says: "That just about saturates the market...
"I work within a 20-mile radius of my home and while I can't make a living out of it, the money it brings in is useful. It takes me 100 hours to make a violin, for which I will charge around pounds 550. A cello will take 200 hours."

A SCAM warning has been issued by the Isle of Wight Council.
A spokesman said the trading standards team had received reports of residents being telephoned by someone claiming to be from Age Concern's Sandown branch.
"The caller, who has an Indian accent, asks for cash donations to be made.
"This is a scam and is not a genuine call. Age Concern is now called Age UK and does not have a Sandown branch, and the organisation does not use Indian call centres," the council warned on its Facebook page.
It urged anyone who received such a call to hang up, without giving out any personal details.

New Study Reveals Ideal Angle for Achieving Optimal Facelift Results
-"Finding the Angle of Maximal Rejuvenation" Study Published September 2012 in Aesthetic Surgery Journal-
Sep 13, 2012, 11:02 ET from New York Center for Facial Plastic and Laser Surgery
NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aesthetic Surgery Journal has published a pioneering study surrounding the ideal angle for achieving optimal facelift results in the September 2012 issue. The angle, referred to as the "Angle of Maximal" rejuvenation was pioneered by New York Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono.
The "Angle of Maximal Rejuvenation" is characterized by the greatest reduction of laxity (looseness) and joweling (sagging), without flattening the midface, creating bunching or pleats. The study, out this month, reveals that the "Angle of Maximal Rejuvenation" for patients with a mean age of 60 years old was found to be 60 degrees. Additionally, this angle inversely correlates to the age of a patient in that the greater the age, these lesser the angle.
"The discovery of the 'Angle of Maximal Rejuvenation' is another step towards perfecting facelifting techniques," said Dr. Jacono, who often publishes on the subject. "By using this technique, results achieve an individual, customized look based on the patient's face shape and age, giving the most youthful, natural appearance."
Results of the 'Angle of Maximal Rejuvenation' are in keeping with the Golden Proportion, a ratio which artists have used for more than two thousand years in creating beauty and symmetry. Dr. Jacono further discusses the Golden Proportion and the Golden Calipers that measure this proportion in his book, The Face of the Future – Look Natural, Not Plastic: A Less-invasive Approach to Enhance Your Beauty and Reverse Facial Aging (Addicus, $19.95), which is out this October 2012 in book stores nationwide.
About Dr. Andrew Jacono
A Dual Board Certified, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, NY, Dr. Andrew Jacono is Section Head of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at North Shore University Hospital Manhasset; Assistant Clinical Professor, Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary; Director of The New York Center for Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery in Great Neck, NY, author of the book FACE THE FACTS: The Truth About Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures That Do and Don't Work and creator of J PAK SYSTEMS – convenient, homeopathic remedies to help optimize healing after aesthetic injectable and surgical procedures.
With surgical privileges at six New York area hospitals, an extensive background in Head and Neck Surgery with subspecialty training in Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jacono is recognized amongst his peers for his innovative surgical techniques and skills. His clinical research has been presented at several national meetings and symposiums and he has authored numerous manuscripts and published articles in leading medical journals on a variety of surgical techniques, including minimally invasive endoscopic facial plastic surgery and lip augmentation.

MSN Movies debuted the first teaser poster for Wreck-It Ralph from Walt Disney Studios Animation earlier today.
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in Wreck-It Ralph. Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer), the 'good guy' star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video
games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero.
On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game 'Hero's Duty.' But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart racing game, 'Sugar Rush,' whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it's too late?
Wreck-It Ralph crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D® in select theaters.

Diabetes Lesson 3 - Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Diabetes-related cardiovascular complications are directly related to either the blocking or slowing down of blood flow to the body. In the case of CAD, blood flow is either slowed or blocked to and from the chambers of the heart. Diabetes does this in a number of ways:
Thankfully, these harsh and potentially hazardous conditions can be greatly curbed by:
Treatment for CAD is similar for both diabetics and non-diabetics, and can be administered in a number of different ways. The first step is making lifestyle changes that can help curb or prevent unnecessary health risks; these include quitting smoking, exercising more, and balancing your diet. Another treatment involves angioplasty, a medical procedure done by inserting a balloon-tipped catheter tube into the artery to clean it out and reopen the blood flow to the heart. The third treatment option for CAD is bypass surgery. This involves surgery to redirect flow of the blood through more patent blood vessels. Page 1 2 3 4 Copyright © 2000-2017 savvyHEALTH.com.

From Gasser to Mild Kustom
These are photos of my 1957 Chevy 150 Handyman Wagon. When I bought the car it was a 60's-70's Style Gasser that needed much work. I decided I would enjoy it more as a customized late 50's style Mild Kustom. All the work was done by my Dad and I. It is not finished yet but at this point it is still a nice driver. I need to get the upholstery done and do some fine tuning to the car.

Never miss a great news story!Get instant notifications from Economic TimesAllowNot now
Sanket Dhanorkar ET Bureau Though valuations in the consumption sector are high, here are some stocks that you can still consider The biggest play in the Indian stock market over the past couple of years has been on the rising domestic consumerism. Even a lethargic domestic economy has not had much of an impact on this segment. Not surprisingly, investors have flocked to consumer-driven stocks amid growth pangs in other sectors. Subsequently, the valuations in the sector have touched record highs. Most stocks have managed to beat the broader indices substantially over the past few years, but can this outperformance be sustained? Will the consumption story continue to buck the slowdown?

by Free Britney at . Updated at . CommentsThe amazing Heidi Klum strips down for Allure's May issue, which she covers, and which also features a nude Maria Menounos and Debra Messing.
The 38-year-old supermodel and fashion mogul, who has been in the news a lot lately after splitting from Seal, touches on that and much more.
Excerpts and gorgeous Heidi Klum photo below ...
On her early modeling days: "I was too curvy and too busty and a little too short. And I was a little bit self-conscious about it. I was by no means heavy."
"I just ... well, you have hips and boobs, and that's it. Haute couture, you don't really see girls with big boobs. And I always wanted first to be a model."
How that almost caused her to quit: "I had to say, 'OK, you're going to find other things to do in this industry, or it's maybe not my industry.'"
On getting plastic surgery: "Ask me again when I'm 65, but … I'm proud to be able to say, in this day and age, I haven't done anything."
"Everyone has a view of what's pretty and what's not pretty, and [surgery] just doesn't look pretty to me. Especially when I see it on really young girls."
"I don't want to name names, but it's like, wow, I remember you five years ago, looking to me so beautiful, and now it's like … who is this person?"
"And I know girls half my age who do it. What are they gonna do at 40 or 50, when the s--t- really hits the fan?"
On Seal: "You know, I wouldn't change anything. If I had to go back in time and say, 'I should have changed this or that…' No. I don't resent anything."
"Things turn out the way they turn out. I'm still in the eye of the storm, and it's all a little crazy. But sometimes you have to be apart in order to figure it out."

Bottom Line: If water cost more, people might pay attention to how much they used!
I agree that the choices could have been better-worded: I selected "habit and/or convenience" -- and I have a habit of minimizing usage for everything. That doesn't really translate to paying no attention, does it? ;)
I saw a difference between 'nothing' and 'habit/convenience'. I chose habit because I am really concerned about, at least, hot water use (I must admit to being more concerned about the use of fossil fuels to heat it than the water supply itself - which so far is quite adequate in Anchorage). So it is not 'nothing' that decides my use, I do think long and hard about running the tap or the shower and have low flow devices installed etc. However, in the end, my choice usually ends up being to take a long, hot, wasteful, expensive bath. Partly due to real pleasure, mostly due to habit. Although a warm cup of tea would do as much to warm and relax me, the bath is an ingrained habit from childhood to wind down and store core body heat for the night. I actually find that most of the things I am successful at doing, conservation-wise, are due to setting up good habits. The things I suck at are because I haven't set up a working habit yet. Cost is usually a secondary motivator for me, as most of the time I pay more for a real or perceived environmental benefit in my life. I am also not a very typical consumer in some ways.
ReplyDelete@FZ and Michelle -- good answers. As usual, a question elicits many feelings...
@Jeremy -- sorry that you're feeling FUD. I am just trying to get an idea of people's experience and/or impressions. Note that I didn't say "tap" or "bottled" (or "lake") water, since that's not relevant to the question of our relation to water...

I always check the Sunday Junkie to see the topics and the ever conflicting opinions from the posts. I do not post very often but i do always read. I have even won a subscription to the Fighters Only magazine. I saddens me to find out that this week in the final one. I will miss that part of MMA Junkie.
I noticed this as well. Although I've never been a big fan of the quality of submissions TSJ receives, I have always loved the idea of it. I wonder why it's being discontinued
two years ago was its hay day copper won every week and the Commish always and an entry. Its for the best,
The reality is the Sunday content is increasing with Fowlkes and Bohn and there is a lot of time to putting it together. As the site grew I knew this day would likely come.
MMAJunkie noted the gradual slow decline for both the traffic and submissions of the Sunday Junkie. As a frequent reader I also noticed the decline in the quality of submissions. What used to be almost all great reads dwindled down to one or two a week near the end. Its sad it came to this. It will be missed. I always enjoyed the sunday junkie, I felt like it gave the members on this site the chance to get great exposure for their writing and opinions, dedicating a whole day for website traffic to read our fellow mmajunkies thoughts. It strengthened the community and allowed the website to grow and thrive. The community really...well, communicated and it sparked great discourse and conversation. The comments on this website used to be its bread and butter. The comment section used to thrive before the website change. The trolls could be annoying but easily ignored and glanced over. And the laughs they gave made them worth it in the end. They were just a by product of a thriving user based section. The more commenters and interesting conversation the more trolls, simple theory really. So what has happened? I just can't believe that people suddenly stopped commenting because of a design change so where have all the commenters and comments gone? I'm sad to say Junkie has lost this and I fear they will never get it back now with other larger growing user based submission message boards(/r/mma). And finally, are the junkie forums on life support clinging on to something that needs to just be left to die? How long will the forums here last? Are they dead already? -Chad
How about you call in to JunkieRadio tomorrow, and address your concerns? Can't hurt to see what happens.
I think its time to let it go its not what it used to be. My point is is this an indication of mmajunkie fading away before our very eyes?
its gotten so bad its time they just put it down now go back before the usa today takeover and it was usually really damn good
Yeah it was really good for a while and then fell off. In all honesty I only go to the main page to see if something is confirmed or not.
Good riddance. The Sunday Junkie has been unreadable for years. How about highlighting posts from the forums? There are a lot of people on these forums who make incredible insightful posts. That would also cause incentive for more quality posting in the forums.
Who cares? Most of the winning posts are nonsense or some view you would expect (based only on one fight). I'd rather read articles from real MMA Journalists anyways.
i used to enjoy getting a good laugh out of it every sunday night... sunday junkie, you will be missed.

Archibald's Tavern
When Scotsman Archibald Leslie settled in Holly Springs, North Carolina, in the early 19th century, he built a 180-acre estate right by the town's freshwater springs. These days, only the estate's springs and main house—a nationally registered historic site known as the Leslie-Alford-Mims House—remain. But with their pub, the proprietor's of Archibald's Tavern make sure the settler's name lives on as well.
The tavern's cooks specialize in staples of American bar food, such as hot wings, wraps filled with philly cheesesteak fixings, and burgers crowned with pepper jack cheese and jalapeños. Selections from an ever-expanding beer list pair perfectly with feasts, which patrons can complement by taking in that day's game on flat-screen TVs mounted around the bar.
