Explore women's involvement with the Society through the lives of three intrepid female travellers: Isabella Bird, said to have helped spark the 'Ladies question' and one of the first females elected in 1892; Mary Kingsley, a deliberate non-Fellow; and Gertrude Bell, 1917 Society medal winner.
Both sold out - why not try our Be Inspired talk 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?' on Monday 18 March instead - see entry below.
Missionary, explorer, anti-slavery campaigner, David Livingstone's association with Africa lasted 30 years. He was the first European to visit the Victoria Falls and the first to visit Lake Nyassa /Malawi and later he added his name to the distinguished list of explorers searching for the source of the Nile.
An excellent introduction to the Foyle Reading Room, showing users how to get the best out of the Society's Collections.
Both sold out - why not try our Be Inspired talks on 'Everest Pioneer – the photographs of Captain John Noel' and 'Everest, the First Ascent - the untold story of Griffith Pugh', on Monday 29 April 2013 and Monday 20 May 2013 respectively - see entries below.
From George Mallory to Tensing Norgay, the triumph and tragedy of the British and Commonwealth Mount Everest expeditions 1921-53 presented through a fascinating mix of artefacts, maps, pictures and original archival material.

Sarah Evans
To mark the100th anniversary of the admission of women to the Society, Sarah uncovers the forgotten story of women's participation in RGS-supported expeditions in the early- to mid-twentieth century.
Tony Astill
In 1935 Eric Shipton, leader of the fifth expedition to Mount Everest, unwittingly paved the way to the first ascent in 1953. The full story of this small, lightweight reconnaissance remained untold until Tony Astill, after 12 years of research, discovered the individual climber's diaries and was gradually able to piece together 'The Forgotten Adventure' in full.
Dr Sarah Worden
A fascinating insight by the curator of the National Museum of Scotland's special exhibition Dr Livingstone I Presume? Commemorating the bicentenary of the birth of Scottish missionary explorer David Livingstone, objects from a number of institutions will be displayed and Sarah will reveal how Livingstone has been a catalyst for new connections between Scotland and Africa today. Followed by a display of charts, maps and artefacts from the Society's Collections in the Foyle Reading Room until 4.30pm.
Richard Cox
The Blue Mountains, New South Wales, are intersected by ravines which barred early British colonists from pastoral expansion. Richard talks of colonists' crossings from 1813, focusing on Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth.
Sandra Noel
As part of the Society's event series to mark the 60th anniversary of the successful 1953 ascent of Everest join Sandra Noel as she recounts her father's role as a pioneer of Everest photography and cinematography.
Harriet Tuckey
Griffith Pugh revolutionised almost every aspect of British high-altitude mountaineering. His innovative ideas ensured the success of the 1953 Everest expedition. Harriet, his daughter, will discuss his life and achievements.
Linked to selected exhibitions at the Society, these browsing displays (2.30pm to 4.00pm) include rare books, maps, photographs, images, artefacts and archival material relating to the subject of an exhibition.

One who doesn't seem like a bitch but secretly is. "You know Rachel?"
"Oh yeah. Isn't she the nicest person out there or something?" "I know right. That's what I thought at first but I saw her beat some chick at the grocery store just cause she looked at her man." "What a closet bitch." |
1. | closet bitch | ||
A girl who appears to be very nice and friendly but is secretly extremely hateful and dislikes everyone whom she pretends to be nice to. Austin was convinced Anna was an angel until she slapped him in the face for no apparent reason, that's when he realized she was a closet bitch
3. | Closet Bitch | ||
A person who appears to be a nice person, but in reality is a bitch. This person tends to talk about people behind their backs and screw people over whenever they have the opportunity. However, to the untrained eye, this person seems like an angel. Marc - "Wow man, I thought your Jenny and I were really hitting it of at the party last night, she even gave me her number and told me we should hang out. But today I find out that she was telling everybody I was annoying her and being creepy and shit."
Mike - "Ya dude Jenny seems nice, but she's a closet bitch for sure." |

What does $2000 a bottle get you? I wondered. The lady at the Creed counter in Holt Renfrew was very kind pointing out the various Creeds, most of which I'd smelled, but then pointed to a haphazardly labelled bottle "these are $300 for the 4oz, but this one's $2000, it's a limited edition there were only a certain number that were made" I immediately grabbed it and drenched a sample card in it, I got tons of Iris, Lavender, a bit of citrus, basically akin to the Prada soapy "Infusion d'Iris, d'etc etc" line. Very pleasant, still didn't like it as much as my favourites (GIT and Silver Mountain Water). But yes, it's a pleasant scent, not as harsh and soapy as the Prada, but no, I wouldn't drop $2000 on it I don't care if Queen Victoria bathed her knickers in it or whatever the story is.

Inglorious Bastards (aka Counterfeit Commando)
LP (Item 497190) Get Back (Italy), 1977 — Condition: New Copy
Francesco De Masi's soundtrack to the original Inglorious Bastards, aka Counterfeit Commandos – the seedy little 70s Italian-made war yarn with Fred Williamson and Bo Svenson that influenced Tarantino's not-really-a-remake! De Masi's symphonic suite and live orchestrations bring a triumphant sweep, as the best Italian soundtrack composers of the era did, just pulpy enough, and provide the right levels of dramatic sounds. Great stuff! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Leaders and workers in both the Men's and Women's Divisions of the Annual United Jewish Fund Campaign pushed forward on all fronts this past week in the import¬ ant task of raising the largest quota in local history. Tiiey realize that immediate large-scale assistance must be pro¬ vided to assure the survival of the Jewish people in Eur¬ ope thru the three major agencies. The Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and National Refugee Service. Columbus Jewry as, well as those thruout Amer¬ ica mourns the 6,000,000 Jews of Europe who died and d^d- itates itself to rescuing the 1,400,000 who survived. This undertaking will be the most courageous chapter in the history of our people. Heads of this year's drive expressed confidence that the remainder of the quota (about 25%) will be raised during the coming weeks and that an all-time record will be made in local fund-raising efforts. The workers were, however, cautioned not to be overconfident and let down in their efforts to canvass every Jewish family in the com¬ munity. I. W. Garek, General Chairman, and his able as¬ sistant Harry R. Roth, Organization Chairman, while elat¬ ed over the progress of the drive to date, stressed that the 25% of the goal is still to be reached and that this was the most difficult job to complete.

Ticket To Ride:Big Sky PBR Pre-Party Checklist
It's time to cowboy up! The 2nd Annual Big Sky PBR is here, and in true Big Sky fashion you haven't done a thing to get ready. Have no fear. This may be your first Montana rodeo, but you don't need to act like it. A little pre-party planing, a few tips from the locals, and we'll have you rodeo ready in no time.
- Tickets. Hopefully you didn't put your cart before your horse, and got your tickets in advance. If not, no worries because it's your lucky day! The Country Market is holding a silent auction for 4 general admission tickets. Proceeds go to help the Big Sky Food Bank. Simply swing by the market and place your bid. We also have the 411 on 8 Golden Buckle PBR Tickets. Click here to inquire for more info, or hit us up on Twitter. Otherwise you can always try your luck and attempt to trade a few frosty Lone Peak beverages with our friends on the Geyser Whitewater bus, and catch all the hot bull riding action from high above the arena. Either way you can still see the event and attend the FREE Calcutta Auction, Morgan Frazier concert, and PBR Cowboy autograph session tonight, and the Community After Party with Lucas Nelson and Promise of the Real on Wednesday.
- Duds. The PBR is the premiere rodeo event of the summer, and one to do up right. Time to get duded up from the boot up! Look no further then Head West. Head West is a hip Western clothing store carrying men's and women's new, resale, retro, and vintage clothing. It's is your one stop shop.
- Koozies. Whatever your beverage of choice, a slick styley collapsible koozie is a must in the Montana heat. Stick one in your wranglers or swing by the Moonlight Basin booth for a limited edition koozie/bandana combo.
- Protection. We're not talking about six guns or switch blades. We're talking about protection from the elements. The weather has been known to change pretty quick around these parts. Pack the following in your saddle bag and be ready for any occasion: sunblock, sunglasses, a brimmed hat, and an extra layer.
- Program. Don't be fashionably late! It's procrastination that got you in this mess to begin with, remember. Plan to get there early and stake out some great seats. Be in the know, and get the skinny on all the parties, concerts, and events with your FREE Big Sky PBR Program.
They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. We've done our part. The rest is up to you. Get off the fence and get down to Big Sky Town Center Arena for what is sure to be the best party of the summer!

1. Killer Looks, even the black colour looks modest with its scratch resistant finish.
2. The only notebook presently available in the Indian Market to possess the AMD E-450 Processor (others have E-350) which is the best one in the AMD Brazos E-series Platform.
3. Windows Expereince Index = 3.9, highest for any netbook and challenging for many notebooks even.(Lowest subscore is of the processor itself.)
4. Very good performance in terms of general usage as well as multimedia.
5. Very good graphics, best in any netbook, so can play some hardcore games even. The screen too is of optimal resolution.
6. The temperature of the core is slighlty higher than others but you wont feel it on the body, no fan noise even.
7. Out of 2GB, 1.6GB is usable rest is shared by the graphics card, but one memory slot is empty in case u wish to upgrade.
8. 64-Bit supportable.
9. Has an HDMI but no eSATA port.
Well iam also using the same netbook mention here.
Its really rcok solid netbook.
The problem which above person is mentioning is present in all the netbooks. But this one is much faster then all of them. Also not able to change desktop is not the problem with this netbook its an in general problem with Windows Starter edition, you can check micrsoft website for this , they have clearly written in windows starter edition they dont support customizable desktop.
I really liked its performance too , i am a very hardcore internet user and i really like its response. Also webcam quality is much better than any other laptop of this range.
Ive been using this laptop for over a month now. This is my third netbook. i use a netbook for its small formfactor, battery life etc. my first netbook was aspire150 which had various reliability issues, the second, a dell inspiron mini, which was a solid book,had no issues with it what so ever-got stolen, hence i bought this netbook with a brand new processor-AGP.
This is a well designed netbook.I own the black one.
The LED display has that sony quality.And to an extend is anti-reflective.
Comes loaded with a lot of bloatware-once you get them removed and with a little tweak , everything becomes smooth-no issue.
I could play full hd movie without a problem.
The built in camera is a real let down.worse than certain first gen camerafones.For one moment i looked myself in the mirror to confrim that i didnt have psoriasis.it could be that worse..but then i dont use it much-so, no issue
The battery barely lasts 4 hrs.On moderate multimedia use, may be 3 and a half .
To my surprise, i found that with no obvious reason the plastic,where u rest your palm started to lose its sheen/texture.- a small patch.i ignored this.after a few days,it becomes a black patch as if with a permanent marker. i tried cleaning it with all imaginable solutions .the mark stays.if u try cleaning with alcohol, a black pigment is shed from the plastic.Then i had no option, but to cover it up with a sticker.
I dont remember having spilled any kind of fluid on my laptop.
i think this is a problem with thw plastic itself
Apart from these minor glitches, the laptop is fine in terms of performance.
I received this laptop 2 days back from flipkart. As usual packing and delivery was fantastic.
About the product, it is superb by all means. It is fast, zippy and cool. I upgraded it to 6GB with windows 7 home premium. It is really fast now. Battery back up 3-4 hours. screen very good. keyboard classy. No problem whatsoever with all kinds of connectivity. They just work fine. Configured windows live mail with 3 gmail accounts and it works very smoothly. for the People with more mail accounts this is a blessing!! Using Reliance netconnect for internet and its fast compared to my Lenovo all in one PC.
Overall very good product. Decided to go for this instead of HP Probook 4420s. And I dont regret my choice. Go for this guys...
A stylish, portable yet powerful laptop.
+ The display is the best in < 11" models available out there.. Excellent resolution & brightness.
+ Battery life is good, I'm able to grab almost 4 hours 30 minutes using Ubuntu Linux & on windows it comes around for 4 hours.
+ Keyboard is not too cramped and is comfortable for typing. Didn't take much time for me to get comfortable with the smaller keyboard as I'm very much accustomed to the bigger keyboard of my 15" laptop.
+ The AMD Dual Core processor provides excellent kick where ever required. Haven't observed any lag even when heavy multi tasking.
+ Radeon graphics processor is also good, but observed lag sometimes when playing high resolution BlueRay movies (could be VLC's problem too).
+ Haven't observed heavy heat or anything. The notebook remained cool even when the load is heavy. You can hear the fan noise only when the ambiance is pin drop silent.
+ Weight is an excellent plus point. Improves portability & one can operate comfortably while standing and resting the laptop on one hand's palm.
+ Good driver download support on Sony's website.
+ HDMI output to my LED TV was very good with excellent resolution & crisp display
+ 320GB HDD & 2GB Ram doesn't let you feel needy for more
- Bundled Sony Vaio softwares aren't so useful
- No MS Office Suite
- Very basic Windows 7 Home Starter Edition
- No USB 3.0
- No Bluetooth 4.0
- Not SSD Hard Drive, Not even 7600 RPM disk, only 5200 RPM HDD

The Importance of Mr Tom Araya
Yeah I know Dave as the amazing powerhouse drummer and the insane riffs J&K have created over the years, but a big part of Slayer's sound that doesn't get enough mention is Tom's vocals. It's with much respect I give him huge kudos for, especially when vocals for me in metal can be such a quick turn-off. Just saying.

LAKEPORT -- The Clear Lake Advisory Committee (CLAC) quarterly report suggested a number of ways the county could improve its lake management, but some Lake County supervisors were dismayed because funding options did not accompany the recommendations Tuesday.
Committee chair Sarah Ryan presented the group's second-quarter report to the Lake County Board of Supervisors (BOS) during the morning session at the Lakeport courthouse.
CLAC recommended the BOS direct its staff to do nine things, including continue the work of the Middle Creek Restoration Project, analyze existing and cumulative pollutant sources and their impact on nuisance algae and change the quagga mussel prevention program to focus on entry roads into the county.
BOS Chair Rob Brown called the recommendations "obvious" and asked Ryan whether the committee analyzed what the costs would be.
"It's easy to say, 'we need to do all these things and you worry about how to pay for it.' We've covered this before and we have to stick with what we can realistically accomplish too," Brown said.
Ryan responded, saying, "We're not your staff. As you know, the members of this committee are volunteers and are very interested in this lake and want to help find solutions for it that don't necessarily have the inner workings of what it's going to take to put these things forward."
District 4 Supervisor Anthony Farrington said the recommendations were "consistent with I believe most of our board's perspective
Farrington also questioned why the CLAC report did not refer to the sales tax measure to fund lake-related programs that will appear on the November ballot.
Ryan said the committee would weigh in on the ballot measure "at some point."
The BOS did not take any action related to the CLAC report.
In other business, the supervisors decided to postpone their discussion on an ordinance that would provide for a fee of 1 percent of a cable operator's gross revenues to support the public, educational and governmental access television station.
The cost would be passed through to Mediacom cable subscribers.
The BOS delayed the discussion to allow County Counsel Anita Grant time to research the impact of Proposition 26, which state voters passed in 2010.
"You need to look and characterize everything to determine: is it a fee or is it actually a tax that requires two-thirds vote of the public," Grant said. "A lot of local governments are being challenged presently for violating Prop. 26 for various things that they could do."
The item will be revisited on Sept. 11.
The BOS indicated support for an ordinance that would adjust certain animal control fees.
The dog license fees would rise to $15 for altered dogs, $75 for unaltered dogs and $50 for unaltered dogs that fall into an exempt category. The current prices have not increased in more than five years, according to Animal Care and Control Director Bill Davidson.
The cattery license fee would decrease to $20, and owner surrender fees for cats and dogs would increase to match the surrender costs for euthanasia.
A second reading of the proposed ordinance is set for next week.
The supervisors approved a resolution adopting a side letter of agreement to the memorandum of understanding between the Lake County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority and the California United Homecare Workers Union Local 4034.
No changes to benefits or current provider wage rates occurred. The vote was 4-0 because Brown left for part of the meeting to assist with the procession for a fallen Kelseyville soldier.
Later, all five supervisors voted to deny requests from a Kelseyville landowner asking for a general plan amendment and rezone so he could plant a vineyard on his property on the Buckingham Peninsula.
Dennis De La Montanya wanted the county to change his parcel from a residential zone to suburban reserve.
In its denial, the BOS found the project was inconsistent with the county's general plan and surrounding land uses and would result in land-use conflicts.
Earlier, the BOS supported a Red Lava Vineyards and Winery proposal to place a small winery in an existing building on its property, located on Highway 29 in southern Kelseyville.
The four supervisors present for the discussion made an intended decision to deny the appeal of a neighbor who opposed the planning commission's choice to approve a minor use permit and mitigated negative declaration for the project.
A final decision is due within 45 days.
The BOS unanimously approved the Lake County Chamber of Commerce's request to hold a mixer at the Lucerne Hotel in October.

Apparently you can't miss one episode without someone getting a concussion or breaking a foot. And I thought there wasn't enough material to sustain a season of snark – ha! Forgive me, dear readers. I'm back.
Week 4 was Rock Week, brought to you by KISS - because nothing says "ballroom is sexy" like five sexagenarians in face paint. Nice going, ABC. I'm pretty sure you've alienated your core demographic with that one.
Gene Simmons opened the evening's festivities with the statement, "We're going to kiss somebody goodbye" before inviting viewers to "Lick it Up." Get it? Kiss? Cuz they're KISS? Oh, nevermind. Way to set the tone, Gene.

Hello Jonas and welcome to Melodic.net. How are you? Hey! I'm doing just fine, thank you. Could you tell us a bit about yourself? Who is Jonas Schwartz? I´m 25 years old and an ex-football player who recently released my debut album. How would you describe your own music?
It's pop music with a lot of heart. The music and lyrics goes all in with well-arranged melodies. Who are your biggest influence(s)? In music I try to keep myself updated but I can always go back to artists like Tom Waits, Devendra Banhart. Film is something I get really influenced by such as Danish, Swedish and American movies. What can you tell us about your debut album "Six"? The title refers to my obsessions with numbers. The last couple of years I've been struggling quite a bit with 3, 6 and 9 for some reason. I don´t want to have anything to do with the number six and that´s why I in a cognitive way named the album "SIX". The lyrics are mostly about my obsessions and of course some love songs. Musically we just wanted it to sound as good as possible. How do your write songs? What does the creation process look like? I make all the songs with Emil Larsson and Reidar Thorsen. I often come up with an idea for a song and then we arrange it all together. The lyrics are something I write when the music is done. Is there a particular song out there that you wish you had written? Every time I hear a good song I get a little bit jealous and wish I'd wrote that. Just a couple weeks ago I had that feeling when I listened to Damien Jurado´s song "Museum Of Flight". What is it, in your opinion, you have to face as an artist trying to make it today? I'm not really good at that. I know I have to promote my music a lot more than I do but I just want to focus on making music. I´m lucky to have people around me who makes it possible for me to make music and get it spread. With that in mind, have you set any "ultimate" goals with your music career? Of course I want earn a living on it but it´s never been my goal. I want to make good music. I hate people who are in the "business" for the wrong reasons and that is something I promised myself to never become. What does the nearest future hold for you? Hopefully I will play a lot this year. And then we are going to make record number 2. Thanks for answering the questions, any final words for our readers? Thank you for reading this and hope you enjoy our record /Jonas

The owner gave me the finger yes he actually did.
I visited this horrible resaurant on the basis of trying to celebrate my brother's Birthday. He is a totally disabled Combat veteran, it took a lot to go out as he is in a Lot of pain. But he acquiesced to my wish to celebrate. We were promised 5 times that we would be next, anyone that had eyes could see how very much pain my brother was in, but holding quietly and bravely. Person after person after person was seated ahead of us, I mentioned that we really needed a table, This is the time the owner picked to brag about being in the army himself, and to attempt to flirt with me. To be bragging about this in front of my brother, while never even recognizing his presence - to compare a service that took most of my brother's life at 18 and comparing his own was the very least in Very Bad Taste. Totally ignoring my brother and his medals. Not even speaking to him or noticing him. never mind trying to explain the situation to him.
I asked him what army he was in, (as I could not believe he could treat a decorated veteran this way), at which the owner threw his arms up in the air, started screaming and threw us out of the place. Period. He put his hands on me, and my brother had to say not to touch me. He went outside after us, gave us the finger, screamed something about Prozac. Inhuman would be the word to use regarding his behaviour. HORRIBLE even illegal. If someone had asked my brother what army he was in, he would have been proud to say the U.S. Army. Really incredibly callous, mindboggling. What caused his reaction only his demons can answer. No food is worth this hell. No food for my brother after 1 hour wait. I was so sorry to have suggested it, it broke my heart for him. I am literally in shock as I type this, trying to balance whether to sue or certainly at least getting some Veteran's organizations involved.
Next time you go here, and look into the owners eyes, see if he is happy to see you, or his joy is glazed over thinking of your checkbook, You will be able to see which it is I'm sure - and next time I eat his pizza, Not for a Very long time) I wonder if that finger has been near my food . Very shabby unappetizing place. Turned my stomach off eating for a while ~ I would sincerely be very concerned about eating here, if you care anything at all for our Amercian heroes that people like to sweep under a chair, not a table, there's none to be found for the wounded. here
Great thin crust and atmosphere. This is a little place my friend introduced me to. I really think this is a great pizza place, the prices are reasonable and the ingreidents are fresh. The service is touch and go. The staff seems more preoccupied with their social lives than their customers. I really like the feel of it though. There are vines hanging from the ceiling and it's got a local vibe!
Horrible customer service, Awful food, and overall dissatified.. We decided to look up some Italian places to while visiting San Francisco. We came across Gaspare's through this website and decided to check it out. So we get there around 7ish in the evening and get seated. We ordered a Spinach and Garlic Pizza, Cheese Pizza for the kids, and a salad for my husband and myself to share. We received our salad right away (around 7:20ish) and honestly it was mediocre at best. Here is where the problems came into play. After waiting 30 minutes for the pizza's the waitress finally came over and placed the pizza tray to hold the pizzas on the table. She told us the pizzas would be up in a little while. Well time passed my kids were getting extremely impatient and there was no pizza. A couple that was sat down maybe a few minutes before us had had their salad and pizza and left by this time. By this time I was getting extremely irritated and I was watching the kitchen the whole time waiting for our food to come. I saw many many people leave with take out (probably about 10 orders) and still no food for us. My guess is they decided to do all the take out orders before they did our order or became overwhelmed. Needless to say just as I looked at my clock it was around 8:40 our pizza arrived finally. The pizza to be honest was somewhat cold, and tasted very bland. It was almost as if they put very little sauce on it at all. After we were finished we had another horrible experience because we had to wait nearly 25 minutes to get out check. I asked two people, one person that was filling water (she came around maybe every 30 minutes), and then the bus boy for our check because there was no waitress in site. She never even came once to see if we needed anything. Finally I had to walk up to another waitress and ask for our check. Then it took another 5-10 minutes to get our waitress to give us our check..by this time I just wanted to put some cash on the table and go. Altogether I would not recommend this place to eat ever.
The Best Pizza in Town (but the entres are mediocre). I was skeptical about ordering pizza because I had been to Gaspare's once before, and my entre was mediocre. I thought I would not return, but my buddy was in town and we wanted some pizza. I read some reviews that were mixed. We ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza with anchovies. The crust is a crispy thin perfection. Plenty of toppings with olive oil dizzled lightly on top. It's one of the best pizzas I've had. I may not go back for an entre, but when I want pizza I am only sorry that I didn't discover this place sooner. It rocks. Be prepared to wait, because Gaspare's has quite a loyal following . . . and now I know why.
Pizza you want more of.... Been going for years and food has always been good, pizza incredible! Especially the Margerita! If you like lots of meat get the bruce's special. Only once the pizza wasn't the same and it was because Gaspare or Daniel ( Gaspare's son) didn't make it that night. They're a good family, which makes their restaurant a great place to go. (plus they stay open till midnight)
Best Cheap Pizza and Italian!. Friendly and good pizza. Also, Linguini with white sauce was very good! I rather come here instead of Pizzetta211. Many selection and inexpensive. Good for family dining. Good crowd, but not waiting too long; there are plenty booth seating. Good Old Italian Restaurant. Very comfortable to spend the time here.
Worst pizza ever. That was the worst pizza I have ever tried. A galon of oil, generous layer of tomato paste, a pound of old garlic, and another pound of salt. Everything including service and sleezy waiters was BAD!
Not the best anything.
Last night we went for dinner here. It was a friend's birthday and we knew that the pizza here is good. However... it was salty. Like we drank all our water in three seconds after trying the first bite. And then our water glasses sat empty for the entire rest of the meal!!!
The service was the WORST I have had in a long time. Rude, never helpful, and I only saw our waiter twice in the entire time we were there!
I would just order takeout if you are willing to chance the salt factor (sometimes the pizza is amazing, sometimes it is really awful).
I feel GUD when I arrive, am there, and after....
This place rocks.
Great pizza. Great entrees. Great dessert.
Ambiance CANNOT be beat.
The jukebox is perfect.
When I have out of town guests, I IMMEDIATELY take them here. I took my future in-laws here. I brought my parents here. I bring EVERYONE here. Instant feel good place for locals and visitors alike.
As I said before, the food is great. The ambiance is great. If someone that enjoys eating in any way, shape, or form comes here with me there for a relaxed evening, things just immediately fall into place.
MY WIFE and I had our first date there.
The place is a sure thing.
I will regret writing this review, no doubt.

GPS technology is constantly improving and GPS pet tracking devices are now smaller and easier to use than ever. In this edition of Pet Pointers, Lisa Chelenza takes a new pet tracking device on a trial run.
First, charge the tracker on docking station. Log on to their website and create an account. You set a safe zone anywhere from 75-1,000 yards and if your pet goes beyond the boundary you set, you receive a text message on your cell phone and an email alert telling you that your pet is beyond your set boundary. If you look at the web site or use the mobile app, you can actually see where your pet is on a map anywhere in the U.S. as long as there is mobile coverage.
The mobile apps can also give you driving directions to your pet and help locate pet friendly places. The device can go anywhere with you. However, you have to remember to reset the location boundary and plug in the docking station.
The Tagg Pet Tracker is priced at $99.95 with one month of service for free and a $7.95 monthly fee after that. It's lightweight, easy to use, durable and water proof.
Each year, more than ten million pets are lost and if you have a dog who likes to wander, this device can be a life saver, helping you find them faster than search on foot or in the car.
Overall, I like the Tagg Pet Tracker. Remember, it does not prevent your pet from wandering, but it can help you find them if they do. To learn more, go to www.taggthepettracker.com.

Let's Play PKMN Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends!! (Part 1)
Looks normal enough.
Wait that isn't gamefreak
Hello Black Lugia thing! Seriously, what is that?
Oh then these guys came. Where's Treecko? :(
Wait what is going on?
[obligatory 'liek mudkipz' joke]
At first I thought Mudkip was spewing fire. Gog that would be so cool.
Yup! Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends is apparently about something. I don't know much about the game, so expect me to be surprised.
That'ssssss a very nice pokemon you've got there...
that was pretty much my first thought
A lot of people are called the pokemon professor... sorry, POKEMON PROFESSOR.
Do you have to shout, or is it just not the same without loud?
You already introduced it to me.
Except the Pokedex knows everything about them! Even though we don't and it doesn't even know... yet!
So, boy or girl? Obviously I am a boy but I could also play as a girl for different narration. Both of them have their own ups and downs whilst narrating I guess, but don't change gameplay other than appearance of stuff, and probably Rival.
So. Girl or Boy.

00Army combat brigade to provide training support in AfricaJeremiahI'm somewhat surprised that DA chose a line combat brigade to carry out this very demanding training support mission. While the "Big Red One's" 2nd Brigade will certainly do its best, the use of a line combat brigade to execute what is primarily a large scale and multi-national and culturally challenged training mission raises questions. DA currently has a very useful asset in its Reserve training components, which are designed to provide hands-on "lines" training, as well as highly sophisticated and tailored computer simulation training exercises, especially at the command group level. Whether that option was considered and rejected is unknown, but it may well have been a better choice than the one chosen. Basing the brigade in Stuttgart, supposedly to minimize the U.S. "footprint" in such an initiative, is also questionable. DA just finished rebasing the 1st Infantry Division back in the US from the FRG in 2008 (most components currently being based at Ft. Riley, KS), and now one of the division's brigades will re-deploy back to Europe, which will also gravely complicate at the very least working and coordinating with the targeted African training clients from a logistical and on-going liaison basis. Let's hope this works out in practice better than it looks in theory.34985{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Sail-World.com : Atlantic Rally for Cruisers - Vaquita claims line honours
Atlantic Rally for Cruisers - Vaquita claims line honours
'Vaquita, Akilaria 40 (Austria) claims line honours in the 2012 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC)'
Tim Wright /Photoaction.com ©
At the tail end of a journey of more than 3,300 nautical males, Class 40 Vaquita has taken line honours in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) 2012, having sailed from Gran Canaria in just over twelve days; a truly magnificent performance for a 40 footer. Vaquita looked superb as she blasted across the finish line at 14 knots with the crew pushing the boat as hard as ever in front of the local and international media in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, today (07 December). The Austrian crew of six crossed the line at 10:22 local (14:22UTC) on 7 December 2012, giving them an elapsed time of 12 days, 1:37hours.
Once across the line and sails down, the entire crew dived into the warm Caribbean water to celebrate their success, to the delight of those cheering from the spectator boats alongside.
Vaquita, skippered by Austrian Andreas Hanakamp, former Team Russia Volvo Ocean Race skipper and two time Olympic star, sailed an extreme northerly route from Gran Canaria, clocking speeds of up to 25 knots during the crossing. This is Andreas' third consecutive year racing in the ARC, each time favouring the northerly passage, and each time paying off.
Speaking to him on the dock with a cold rum punch in hand, he explained how they had a great trip, and are happy to be in Saint Lucia again. This will be the final Atlantic crossing Andreas sails on board Vaquita, as he has plans to build a new Class 40' and will put Vaquita up for sale. When talking about the northerly passage taken, he explained how it makes perfect sense for him to take the route they did. He feels the northern route is the more logical with the availability of modern weather and routing information.
Vaquita has not only crossed the finish line first, but has done so in style, with the next arrival, Swan 80' Berenice approximately 20 hours behind. This does not mean that Vaquita is guaranteed to win overall on corrected time, as she holds the highest handicap in the RORC IRC Racing Division.
Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) 2012 route map -
World ARC
Meanwhile., the cruisers, which make up the majority of the ARC fleet are getting some very mixed weather on the rhumb line route where the wind has be rather contrary ... too much at the beginning and now not enough! Logs in week one were full of tales of watches spent wearing foul-weather jackets, cold nights and rain; lots of rain.
The winds have abating and calmer seas are now the norm, especially for those boats leading the fleet. On Surfing Petrel, one of the racing fleet, Miranda wrote 'Not an isobar to be seen for hundreds of miles on the synoptic chart. Light and fluky breeze on the menu for the next day or so. There are a few large clouds around, but we have been left in peace so far today. It's quiet in the midday heat, the crew keeping movement to a minimum, and occupying patches of shade.'
Whilst the racers are becoming frustrated, for the cruisers the lighter conditions mean an easier and more relaxing life at sea. Dan Bower, captain of Skyelark of London wrote in his blog 'We have just set full main and cutter rig, all plain sail, for the first time since we set off, and the first time we have seen true wind under 20kts. The first week saw average F6-7, 25-30kts wind and we had several spells of 30-35kts, F8; two-reefs in the main by day, and three at night. Whilst not uncomfortable, we all welcome the smoother seas and the ability to move about with just a steadying hand instead of having to lurch around with a vice-like grip on something solid.'
As can be expected, strong winds, particularly early on in the passage often result in breakages aboard the fleet. Farr 585CC Spock has had to retire to the Cape Verde islands following a dismasting; all now safe ashore in Mindello. Dag Rorslett and his Norwegian crew of four aboard Modus Vivendi, have had a tough few days coping with a lost rudder. For the past four days, the crew have been steering the 50ft steel yacht using just their small Hydrovane rudder and balancing sails. Not an easy feat in F6 and 4m swells constantly pushing the boat sideways The boat and crew are now all safely docked in Mindello. To date, eight boats have retired from this year's ARC, mainly due to mechanical problems.

Fanfic News...Again! (Added sci-fi)
So here are some points after the break for those interested
Comedy /Adventure /Sci Fi
I'm adding these, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. If you have a fanfiction that should be classified as one of these, feel free to email me with TAG CHANGE in caps. It may be a bit delayed, but I'll get around to it. I'm a bit swamped right now!
(I'm out of colors :x)
Fan Fiction Length
It has always been somewhat of a mystery when it comes to length for fanfiction here. Over time, the requirements have increased, so it's difficult to give exact numbers. Here is generally how it "currently" works (Subject to change, we were much more picky 3 months ago than now!)
Multi-Part Stories-> These are bumped when new chapters/parts hit. I have sent people off several times in the past few weeks for "more chapters". Multi-part is primarily for long stuff. It's difficult to gauge how lengthy your story will be, but a general rule of thumb is at least create a good foundation. A lone prologue or 1000 word chapter 1 will probably be sent back for more.
One Shots-> These are allowed to be short, but not too short. A good one shot can sit around 1500 words, though some can be a bit shorter. If you really want to write 1000 word short stuff, go ahead and do 2-3 and send them as a compilation.
More Pre-readers!
I'm taking a few more pre-readers! If you have had at least 3 stories submitted to the website with 4+ stars, feel free to send me an email. Those that sent requests when it was closed are more than welcome to send another!
Images Used
I don't know where everyone got the idea that I don't use people's requested images! If you want a specific image for your story that hasn't already been used, feel free to ask for it! Just make sure it's reasonable quality and not too tall.
New Fanfiction Archive
One of my newbie programmer friends is building a new fanfic archive that will be at least 20% cooler, though I honestly like the current one. Having everything on one page makes CTRL+F really easy, at least for me.
The new one will be more like a traditional search, with categories, check boxes and filters. No idea when this will be complete, but it should be soon enough.
Until then, no one has complained about the current one, so hopefully you guys like it! I try to keep it as organized as possible.

Good timing as my semester's almost over. Eventuality for fanfic writing will be increased approximately 60% as a result.
- May 22, 2011 at 12:05 PM
- Luna said...
Oh good, all the stories I've written-but-haven't-finished so far are well within that requirement. Hay stacks, I hit a thousand words just writing the opening to the first story I started for the 300-word event.
- May 22, 2011 at 12:10 PM
- fireant said...
What about the idea with sidemenu with "epic-lenght" multi chapters fics to follow easier?
- May 22, 2011 at 12:13 PM
The main problem with fanfics is that they're really just not suited to a blog format. If nothing else, they completely swamp all other news.
And yes, if I dig through all the sections I can find the non-fanfic stuff, but it's still very easy to miss things. - May 22, 2011 at 12:14 PM
- NinesTempest said...
Augh, I'd love to be a proof reader but I only have 2 damn stories (though one is kinda longish).
Ehhhh - May 22, 2011 at 12:17 PM
- ZAquanimus said...
I do quite enjoy that last part, as I feel it's aimed directly at me XD
" A lone prologue or 1000 word chapter 1 will probably be sent back for more."
Lol, I had a 1000 word prologue x3
almost done with first 2 chapters - May 22, 2011 at 12:20 PM
- NinesTempest said...
I like how I tend to upload 2 chapters for each of my first things.
Hmmm. I may have to use that adventure tag soon. - May 22, 2011 at 12:21 PM
- Baree said...
Hmm. If this new system is finished? are you planning to keep the current one as well? I agree with you, ctrl+F works nicely.
- May 22, 2011 at 12:22 PM
Can you choose a new color for the adventure tag? The current one destroyed my retinas.
- May 22, 2011 at 12:28 PM
- TGPFluttershy said...
This is great news!
I'm on the verge of submitting the 1st chapter of a new fanfic I'm writing. A friend/editor is reviewing it as I'm writing this and I know for sure I will use the "Adventure" tag on it.
Since this is my first MLP:FiM fanfic I know I probably can't ask for pre-readers, but I'll be more than happy to see what people think of it and its potential. - May 22, 2011 at 12:31 PM
- James Corck said...
My Fanfic is set for 6 chapters, and the prologue is well over the 1000 words, so I think I am safe there.
- May 22, 2011 at 12:35 PM
Yay, a fanfic archive that doesn't flood out the other news! Will it link to stuff on FF.net?
- May 22, 2011 at 12:35 PM
- Baree said...
If there are no grimdark elements in it, I'd be happy to read it. But of course, if you send it to ED the normal pre-readers will read it anyway. I'm just a random brony who reads way to many fics ^^ - May 22, 2011 at 12:36 PM
- fireant said...
Send it to email@example.com, and I will pre-read it for you xd - May 22, 2011 at 12:36 PM
I don't think (at least from the sounds of it) that the new archive will change how fics are handled. Unless it integrates a comments systems too? At least then there wouldn't need to be a newspost for each new fic, which tends to account for at least half of the front page at any given time. - May 22, 2011 at 12:44 PM
- Nikita said...
About fanfic archive: Please let there be a button "Classic view" or something, cause I like the current one-page setup too :)
- May 22, 2011 at 12:52 PM
- Sethisto said...
It will still be on the front page. Honestly news would be pretty barren without the fics. A tiny little niche like my little pony isn't exactly bursting with interesting things to report on ;p
The archive will be embedded into a post, the same way a table would be. - May 22, 2011 at 12:53 PM
For an idea of what adventure means.
It means traveling.
It means fighting.
It means experiencing the unknown.
It means finding wonders in the world were one treads.
How can you not know what an adventure is.
I'm busy writing one called Mail Ponies 2: Postal Ponies and I've been thinking about sending in both my Mail Ponies stories to Equestria Daily. (The reason why I haven't is because my writing falters and or sucks quite often and the first is not as good as the second which I'm making epic in length) - May 22, 2011 at 1:09 PM
- Scorch_Mechanic said...
*Sees rules on short stories*
Yeah, I can live with that. - May 22, 2011 at 1:15 PM
- HeatWave said...
I would submit to be a pre-reader, but my third story hasn't been posted yet, and I will have to wait a few days before it gets some stars, so that's a no go.
- May 22, 2011 at 1:19 PM
- Bejoty said...
I found myself reading more fanfics lately, and being one who never touched them before, I find this a positive progression.
No longer do I merely tolerate the fic posts; I now thoroughly interact with them! xD
Will love come next? Stay tuned! - May 22, 2011 at 1:21 PM
I shall make wonderful use of the Adventure tag. Oh yes, I shall.
- May 22, 2011 at 1:38 PM
- Kits said...
I'd love to do pre-reading for you! I just need to write more =/
Hopefully I'll stop being distracted by other fics long enough to get some writing done ^.^;
Now if I can just stop doing thing like refreshing EqD... - May 22, 2011 at 1:47 PM
Seth, I'm having trouble understanding the part about "The Great and Powerful Trixie".
Could you please elaborate more? :P - May 22, 2011 at 1:59 PM
If by 'barren' you mean you'd actually be able to see something other than fanfiction, then yeah, I suppose you're right.
I just don't think there's really that much of a drought of news that every single new fic needs a post of its own. It completely swamps everything else. The art posts work well enough by combining everything into manageable groups, why is fiction so different? - May 22, 2011 at 2:06 PM
Now I can finally try and get that fic I made to be on this site andthen I would try to finish my new full fic random story too also because my 300 word event story was a flop.
- May 22, 2011 at 3:39 PM
I'm kind of confused: what's the distinctions between Comedy and Random (and, to an extent, Normal)?
- May 22, 2011 at 3:45 PM
I believe it would be a good idea to add these rules for writing in the FAQ section, or somewhere that people will see other than this post. That way more people can understand the rules.
- May 22, 2011 at 4:52 PM
Good idea to add a more organized fanfic setup. Now that everyone is on vacation, fanfic writing will increase by 75%, easily.
- May 22, 2011 at 4:57 PM
I have to agree that all the fanfiction posts are 'flooding' the news. Just yesterday I counted 8 out of the 13 posts on the front of the site were just fanfiction. Awhile back you made a post asking how we would like for you to correct this issue. It seemed a VAST majority of the people wanted you to group the stories together into single posts, in the same way you group PMV's and Art posts. Sadly though, it seems like this idea had been swept under the rug, because every hour there is still new fanfics being posted all the time. I'd be very interested in seeing a NEW poll about what people think of the fanfic posts. A long while back you did a poll about whether or not the fanfic posts annoying people, and I remember the "it doesn't bother me" option won by quite a bit. However, this was back when we'd see maybe 3 or 4 fanfic posts per day. Now it seems for every 5 stories posted, theres some kind of news post. It isn't just because news is slowing down either, but that is slightly contributing.
I don't want to sound like I'm whining and complaining because I hate fanfiction. I honestly dont, and I've read some of the ones that have been posted, but this is an issue that has been really bothering me as well as my friends that frequent this site. If you don't come on for a few days and you want to catch up, going back through the pages is a big pain with all the stories you have to go through.
As someone above said, grouping fanfic posts together would totally solve this issue. Just put them together in a queue like you do for drawfriend or PMV posts. I've always thought of this site as a news site first and everything else second, but it's very quickly seemed to have turned into the place for everyone to submit their fanfics. - May 22, 2011 at 5:04 PM

^Split the page into fanfiction posts and actual news posts then?
- May 22, 2011 at 5:33 PM
Having a separate section of this site just few fanfic posts would solve the problems people are having it seems.
News for MLP is actually a lot more consistent and steady than a LOT of other things, it really doesn't need to be "padded" by fanfiction stories. Just look at mmo-champion. They're a newsite for World of Warcraft (and other Blizzard news as well), the BIGGEST online game, and they post maybe two or three things per day. Course they're more of an official-ish fansite, so they can't post things like youtube poops, but the fact of the matter still stands that MLP has a lot more news than I think it gets credit for.
Course I'm just a silly pony so who knows. The fanfcition itself isn't bad at all, it just seems to take up a lot of space. There doesn't HAVE to be a new post on here every hour. - May 22, 2011 at 5:58 PM

On the topic of length and multi-part stories, I was wonder if since now there's a word minimum (of sorts) is there also a word maximum? How long should a chapter run before it's broken up?

Would there also be a 'warm and fuzzy' category or sorts?

Remember there are also us fanfics readers who constantly refresh to see if any new fics are up.
- May 22, 2011 at 8:41 PM
@Baree yeah I'm not saying to remove fanfiction from the site or anything like that, I'm just saying it should either be grouped together or posted in a section where it doesn't come up in the news.

@Patchwork Poltergeist
I tend to break chapters at a point where the emotional content is about to change. This is taking cues from TV, for example, where the characters work up to something interesting, and then a commercial break happens.
You can also break chapters at a scene break, or day by day, or some other pattern where the story has a functional shift.
I wouldn't worry so much about chapter length, though if you have a 2500 word story, you probably don't need to break it into chapters. - May 23, 2011 at 1:19 PM
How do you even submit fics to this site? Ive never seen any way of doing it. Or do they only post the ones they like personally?

K-SERV is a state-wide, secure registration system and database for volunteers willing to respond to incidents. The aim is to have a list of pre-identified volunteers who are available for ready deployment in case of a disaster or incident. During an event, a wide range of volunteers will be needed, including those with skills related to working with vulnerable needs populations.
Interested volunteers should visit the K-SERV website at https://kshealth.kdhe.state.ks.us/VolunteerRegistry. Once there, click on "Login or Register for K-SERV." It should be emphasized that registration does not obligate one to volunteer during an emergency. Registration takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes, and it is recommended that one have their driver's license and professional licensure information with them in order to speed up the registration/approval process.

Considering whether Kentucky Utilities' proposed new rates are "fair, just and reasonable," the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) will hold a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the Harlan campus of Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College.
Hoping to educate everyone about the PSC's rate-making process and to receive comments from the public about proposed rate increases by the Kentucky Utilities (KU) Company and the Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E), the meeting will begin with a presentation and then comments from the public will be heard.
"We'll walk people through our rate-making process works," said PSC Director of Communications Andrew Melnykovych. "We'll look at what the PSC has to consider when it's looking at rates. How rates are structured — what is included and not included in rates. How you make a determination as to what is fair, just and reasonable for the rate payers and for the utility itself, and how you allocate the rates in the various customer classes. This should take about 20 to 25 minutes. Then, people will have the opportunity to make comments directly to the commission. Also, there will be a form available for those who wish to make written comments."
In considering comments from the public, Melnykovych said this was "one of many factors" in the PSC's decision to increase rates.
"There are a number of things the commission has to consider," said Melnykovych. "Nobody ever wants their rates to go up. If the commission went strictly by public comments then every time we'd have a proposed rate increase and people said they didn't want a rate increase then the utilities would go bankrupt. Obviously, at some point you have to have a rate increase."
The last rate increase for KU customers was in 2010. The new proposed rate increase for 2013 will affect all classes of customers in order to generate an additional $82.4 million in revenue per year, which is an increase of approximately 6.5 percent. Kentucky Utilities estimates that the average monthly bill for residential customers will rise approximately $7.41 for a bill of $99.71, an increase of about 8 percent from the current monthly average bill of $92.30.
Melnykovych said most of the proposed increase will come through raising the monthly service charge to $13 from the current $8.50. He said the charge per kilowatt-hour will rise from 6.987 cents to 7.235 cents. A kilowatt house is the amount of electricity used by a 100-watt light bulb in 10 hours.
With approximately 546,000 customers in 77 counties across Kentucky, Melnykovych said KU's base rate increases are needed to pay for upgrades to electric transmission and distribution systems, improvements at electric generating facilities and the hiring of additional employees, particularly in its customer service operation. He said the company also cited increased costs to comply with tighter federal cyber security standards.
Written comments may also be mailed to the PSC at P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Ky. 40602.

Beauty in a box: Personalized makeup at your door
Christine Arata is big into Christmas stockings. The more inventive the contents, the better. Her husband, David? Not so much. So last December she was braced for the usual -- flowers and a bag of Snickers Minis -- when she pulled out a gift card labeled Birchbox.
Birchbox, a leading online beauty sampling service launched in 2010, sends out monthly goodie bags filled with sample-size...
