Kate Beckinsale will soon return to the big screen as the beautiful and deadly Selene in "Underworld: Evolution," the vampires vs. werewolves opus that banked a respectable amount at the multiplex and went on to score surprisingly huge DVD sales.
Selene is definitely one of our 10 favorite vampires in movie history. (She's also the hottest). And the other nine, you ask?
Okay, we'll bite.
9. William Marshall as Mamuwalde in "Blacula" (1972)
While spawned by the Blaxploitation explosion of the early '70s, the character of Blacula is far more tragic and complex than a mere Shaft with fangs. In 1780, an African Prince named Mamuwalde seeks the aid of Count Dracula in ending slavery (a pairing that would've made our five dollar bills look awfully funny). Instead, Dracula puts the bite on Mamuwalde, who lies undead in a coffin until he's resurrected in 20th-century Los Angeles.
The movie is kinda pedestrian, but William Marshall is oddly touching as the regal prince.
8. Ingrid Pitt as Carmilla in "The Vampire Lovers" (1970)
In this Hammer Films horror flick, Polish born actress Ingrid Pitt plays Carmilla, a lusty bloodsucker who finds youthful rejuvenation drinking the vital, viscous fluid of pretty, virginal maidens. (Ah, the pre-Botox days.) Aside from the voluptuous vampire, this soft-core monster flick is also memorable for dream sequences featuring a giant bloodsucking kitty cat!
7. Lance Henriksen as Jesse Hooker in "Near Dark" (1987)
Written and directed by Kathryn Bigelow, this cult film tells the tale of a traveling band of vampires (although the word is never used) sucking the lifeblood from unsuspecting Okies. This truly original take on vampire lore puts Bill Paxton in the spotlight as the bad-boy vamp, Severen, whose bar-hopping ways will make waitresses wary of any patron who asks for an empty glass. But we prefer the more laid-back Henriksen as Hooker, the vampire leader who has more Clint Eastwood than Bela Lugosi in his demeanor.
6. Alfie Bass as Shagal in "The Fearless Vampire Killers, or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck" (1967)
Roman Polanksi's 1967 vampire comedy plays like a surrealistic fairy tale, and aside from its gorgeous visuals (not the least of which is Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate), it's got some hilarious bits. At one point, a potential victim tries to fend off the vampire Shagal with a crucifix — the only problem is, Shagal is Jewish, thus unaffected by the sign of the cross! Of the thousands of movie vampires, Shagal is without question the only one to utter the words, "Oy, vey!"
5. Edward Herrmann as Max in "The Lost Boys" (1987)
Kiefer Sutherland, Shmiefer Shmutherland. OK, it's hard to say, but the point is, the highlight of Joel Schumacher's teen-vampire romp isn't a young Keifer, but Ed Herrmann as Max, the seemingly harmless suitor of the Emerson family matron (Dianne Wiest). Sons Mike (Jason Patrick) and Sam (Corey Haim) immediately take a disliking to Max, a feeling magnified when they discover that his desire to win the heart of dear old Mom has more to do with the blood within than the love below. Grandpa Gilmore, say it ain't so!
4. John Amplas in "Martin" (1977)
You'd think that zombie-meister George Romero's foray into vampire lore would yield the most gruesome bloodsucker of all. It's ironic, then, that in 1977's "Martin," we're never sure whether the disturbed titular teenager actually is, or only thinks he is, a vampire. Martin needs to use razor blades and syringes to drain the blood from his victims and becomes a regular caller to a local radio show. This intelligent, dark brooder (Romero's most overlooked film) is actually more drama than horror — and that's not meant as an insult.
3. Salma Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium in "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996)
It's a toss-up for favorite vampire in this collaboration between writer Quentin Tarantino and director Robert Rodriguez. There's Cheech Marin's bitin' bouncer, Chet Pussy; Danny Trejo as the bartender, Razor Charlie; and Tom Savini as Sex Machine, with a gun in his pocket (he's not happy to see you). But as Santanico Pandemonium, a belly-dancing monster vampire, Salma Hayek can snake-charm the machine-gun-wielding pants off of pretty much anyone. Remember, folks: Even in Mexico, never drink tequila off of a vampire's toes.
2. Bela Lugosi in "Dracula" (1933)
Obvious choice? Sure, but the fact remains that when someone says the name "Dracula," Lugosi's wine-abstaining Prince of Darkness is still the image that pops into mind. One of the most indelible portrayals in film history, the Hungarian stage actor's Transylvanian Count might not be as frightening as, say, Gary Oldman in Francis Ford Coppola's otherwise miscast 1992 remake — Keanu and Winona? Please! — and he might not be the number one vampire on our list. But Legosi, with his thick accent and stiff, exotic demeanor, is by far the most iconic.
1. Max Schreck as Count Orlok in "Nosferatu" (1922)
After over 80 years, still the scariest. In F.W. Murnau's 1922 German film, "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror), Max Schreck plays Count Graf Orlok, a bone-white human rodent with elongated claw-like fingers and ratlike teeth. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula," the film is a haunting black-and-white exemplar of German Expressionism. "Nosferatu" has only grown in creepiness since 1922 — partially due to the alienating feel of the film that has accrued with time. Modern viewers often find even comedies from that era unsettling due to the stark difference in style, technology and setting. When you add a plague of rats and a truly terrifying Dracula to the mix, there's absolutely nothing comforting in "Nosferatu." And we mean that as the ultimate praise.
Runner-up bloodsuckers include Kirsten Dunst as Claudia in "Interview With the Vampire" (1994), a wee undead girl way scarier than Tom Cruise as Lestat; Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens as Amilyn, the fanged freakazoid from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1992); Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed, the campiest vamp of all in "Fright Night" (1985); and David Bowie as John, the most rock-and-roll vampire in "The Hunger" (1983). If we neglected to list your favorite sucker, please don't take it personally. Wait … do we smell garlic?

Sammy Hagar Speaker
Sammy Hagar Speaker Profile
After spending several years as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the mid-70s hard rock band Montrose, Sammy Hagar began a solo career that produced several hits and made him an album rock favorite. Hagar became a true star once he joined Van Halen in 1985, but he was a popular hard rocker ever since his first album with Montrose.
After giving up a boxing career, Hagar began singing in the late 60s, performing with various California bands including Skinny, the Fabulous Catillas, Justice Brothers, and Dust Cloud. During this time, he built up a solid reputation in the California hard rock scene. Former Edgar Winter guitarist Ronnie Montrose asked Hagar to join his band, Montrose, in 1973. Hagar recorded two albums with Montrose before going solo in 1976, taking the groups bassist, Bill Church. Montroses drummer Denny Carmassi later joined Hagars band, along with keyboardist Geoff Workman. Hagars self-titled red album was his first chart entry; it eventually went gold. In 1979, he created a new supporting band featuring Workman, Church, guitarist Gary Pihl, and drummer Chuck Ruff. This lineup played on Hagars most popular solo album, 1981s platinum Standing Hampton, plus 1982s gold Three Lock Box with only one member missing -- drummer Ruff was replaced by David Lauser. After Three Lock Box and its number 13 hit single Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy, Hagar played several shows with guitarist Neal Schon, bassist Kenny Aaronson, and drummer Mike Shrieve; the group recorded a live album under the name Hagar Schon Arronson Shrieve (HSAS), as well as a studio version of Procol Harums A Whiter Shade of Pale. His 1984 album VOA contained the hit single I Cant Drive 55, which peaked at number 26.
In 1985, Hagar replaced David Lee Roth in Van Halen; his first album with the group was 1986s 5150. Hagar released his last solo album in 1987; the record was coined I Never Said Goodbye in an MTV contest. Hagar stayed with Van Halen through the remainder of the 80s and half of the 90s. During that time, the band had four other multi-platinum albums -- OU812 (1988), For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991), Live: Right Here, Right Now (1993), Balance (1995) -- before tensions began to surface between Hagar and the rest of the band. In the summer of 1996, Hagar either quit Van Halen or was fired; the band had Roth return to sing two tracks on Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1 before hiring former Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone as Hagars replacement. The entire incident became a media sensation, ensuring that Hagars 1997 solo album Marching to Mars -- his first in ten years -- would be greeted with much media-generated fanfare. It sold surprisingly well, peaking in the Top 20 and re-establishing Hagar as a viable solo act. With a backing band called the Waboritas in tow (consisting of guitarist Vic Johnson, keyboardist Jesse Harms, bassist Mona, and drummer David Lauser), Hagar followed the success with Red Voodoo two years later; it too sold very respectably on the strength of the single Mas Tequila, just missing the Top 20.
Hagars resurgence continued with 2000s Ten 13. Not 4 Sale arrived in 2003, followed by his first live album in 20 years, Live: Hallelujah. 2006 saw the release of Livin It Up!, while VOA was reissued the following year in deluxe format, courtesy of the newly launched American Beat Records. In 2008 Hagar released Cosmic Universal Fashion, his eleventh solo album and first for Roadrunner imprint Loud and Proud Records.

Thread: Question on Eye sight
Question on Eye sight
Hi everyone,
Have a quick question on eye site. I'm under a possible MS diagnosis until my neuro appt in Dec. I've been having issues with holding my focus on something when looking at it. My eyes tend to go blurry and sometimes the item will double up and i see two of what I'm looking at.
I went to my optometrist today. He put me through a bunch of different tests and he can't find anything wrong with my eyes other than once again needing a small prescription for reading, driving, etc... My optic nerve looks good as far as his test showed and a scan he did on my eyes after dilating them.
He was surprised to find nothing wrong given the problems I've been having especially with the suspicion of MS by my pcp. He gave the strong impression that he didn't believe that I could be looking at MS where I don't seem to have any problems with my eyes that he can find.
I just wondered what everyone else experience is??? I'm more confused now than before..Sandy
"possible MS" waiting on Neuro appt 12/13/10
YESS I am and still am having "ghosting" or shadowing which looks like dbl vision. And yes my eye exams over the years resulted in slight RX but it never corrected this kind of dbl vision.
Had the VER test which was normal too.
All some of the docs can think of is the focus problem is due to muscle fatigue. It only gets worse and worse..then it may relent a little for awhile. I notice its worse if I am on the computer long times or TV or in the evening. So it may just be fatigue.
Don't worry cuz they cannot find a test that tells them that. Oh wait, this year, they used the standard eye test on the wall and up close and I could not see LARGE letters/numbers. I was guessing or just could not tell. THAT's how bad it got. They noted it in my chart as I just received my MS dx this year after years of symptoms.
So hang in there.. do a "search" on this site and you'll see lots of posts on this topic.
Good luck with your MS finding journey.
JanI believe in miracles~!

I actually had an eye doc tell me that my optic nerve was thin but the focus problem was not MS. Then my neurologist said she thought he was wrong. Thin optic nerve means damage.
I don't think you have to wait until the damage is visible to have it. Your problem sounds so similar to many others (including mine) that it very well could be the MS causing it.
Like most MS related things, I am torn between hoping it is the MS and hoping it is something that is "treatable". I mean wouldn't it be great if all our symptoms were caused by things like pulled muscles, or need for stronger glasses, or need for a certain vitamin. But nooooo, we are "blessed" with this lovely thing that (as of now) can't be cured. Oh well, hope your vision improves soon!

Hi devsmomma:
Intermittent problems of any kind are hard to pin down. Have you ever had problems with your car, but when you took it to the mechanic it wasnt doing the funny thing so it couldnt be found? Some eye problems are the same way.
Your simple questions really have some complicated answers. That could be why some of your questions didnt get answered as a result of your eye exam. To give you some perspective about how eye and vision problems are evaluated, it might be helpful to read something I wrote for another poster recently: [url]http://www.msworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=105906[/url]
First, regular eye exams cover many different things, but they dont cover every possible thing that can occur with the eyes or vision. It doesnt matter whether the exam is done by an ophthalmologist or an optometrist there are some things that are specialty tests and just arent included. If the preliminary/screening tests come out normal, a decision has to be made about whether or not more extensive testing is necessary. That decision is based on the severity of the symptoms, what the implications of the symptoms are, what kinds of further test might be done and what the benefit of further testing might be.
It sounds like your preliminary focusing and eye movement tests were normal. That indicates that there isnt a pressing need for specialty tests because 1) youre already being worked up for MS (which includes ruling out other neurological causes) and 2) verifying the occurrence of the problems isnt part of the diagnostic criteria for MS and wont be used in making a diagnosis.
There are tests that can be done to check how fatigue is affecting your blur and the doubling of vision, but they arent part of a regular eye exam and usually arent covered by vision or medical insurance. Theyre part of what is often called a visual efficiency exam. Optometrists do efficiency exams but ophthalmologists usually dont. Ive been to many, many ophthalmology practices over the years and have never seen one that does. Ophthalmologists usually forget about visual efficiency as soon as they get out of residency. The exception is neuro-ophthalmologists, who sometimes do similar tests as part of a neurological workup. But again, thats not a regular eye exam.
Your neurologist might refer you to a neuro-ophth as part of an MS workup. The testing might or might not uncover the effects of fatigue and might or might not lead to recommendations for some kind of management, depending on whats found. If youd like to be tested specifically for the effects of visual fatigue, and an evaluation of whether vision therapy might be helpful, your optometrist can do that but youll have to schedule (and pay for) for that kind of exam. If you do, bear in mind that it will be specifically for the doubling/focus/fatigue problem and not play any part in a diagnosis of MS.
Second, an eye exam can check only for the status of the eyes/vision at the time of the exam. Anything that occurs intermittently then returns to normal cant possibly be found during an exam if the eyes are in their normal state at the time. A prime example of this is an intermittently dry eye that occurs under specific circumstances that arent present at the time of the exam. Dry eye (intermittent or permanent) is the #1 cause of transient blurriness and affects every human on the planet at one time or another.
When were concentrating on something -- reading and computer work are the most common times -- we forget to blink. When we dont blink, the tear film on the front of the eye isnt refreshed and the optics degrade, leading to blurry vision. When the eyes blink properly, the tear film is refreshed and vision clears back up. In an eye that isnt prone to dryness, the front of the eye will look normal at the time of an eye exam. This temporary kind of dryness is the primary suspect for people who notice blur mostly (or only) when theyre doing something that takes concentration, like reading or working on the computer. Its very common in Computer Vision Syndrome.
Its entirely possible that at least some of your blur is coming from this type of intermittent dryness. If your tear film and front of the eye appeared normal at the time of the exam, there would be no way to detect intermittent dryness and no way to confirm that its causing intermittent blur. That being said, its also possible that you have borderline dryness that the optometrist overlooked. One way to help pin this down is to see what happens to your blur when you blink. Next time you get blurry after looking at something, try blinking five or six times. It things clear up after a couple of quick cycles of blinking, it indicates that at least some of the blur was caused by a faulty tear film.
There are some perceptual things that could be leading to some of your blur and doubling, but those generally arent tested for outside of clinical research. Unless they showed up during the eye exam, there isnt any way for them to be detected.
A third factor that leads to confusion about whats causing vision problems is a combination of in misunderstanding anatomy and physiology, incorrectly attributing a cause to parts of the visual system that arent involved, and not connecting symptoms to the parts of the visual system that are.
For example, your optic nerves look normal (which is great!). But the optic nerve isnt involved in double vision -- it has no motor function and doesnt contribute to the optics of the eye. Judging double vision by the appearance of the optic nerves is like judging how well the brakes on your car work by looking at the headlights. They arent related.
Optic nerves may or may not be involved in transient blurry vision. Theyre not involved in the kind of blurry vision you described, which is the kind that comes with looking at something with concentration. And again, because theyre not involved (theres too much detail to expand on here), what they look like is irrelevant, even if they look normal.
The optic nerves and brain are involved in other types of blur, but 1) those arent the type you described and 2) these types cant be determined from optic nerves that appear normal. That means that those types of blur cant be determined from a regular eye exam. Thats how your eyes can look normal during an exam but youre having those symptoms its because some parts of the visual system that are involved in the problem arent evaluated as part of a regular eye exam. The cause of those kinds of blur are evaluated with test like MRIs and VEPs.
Another example of this and its the most common misunderstanding about vision is confusing optical problems that come from refractive error (the need for glasses) with optical problems that come from physical problems affecting the optical components of the eyes, and from neurological problems that interfere with nerve signal transmission or processing. Glasses cant correct blur/ghosting/doubling that comes from cataracts and tear film/corneal problems (such as those that frequently accompany dry eye). Glasses also cant restore vision lost as a result of optic neuritis or demyelination in the visual pathways of the brain. Thats how you can have intermittent blur/doubling that glasses dont correct the problem isnt coming from refractive error.
A corollary to the misattribution situation is one in which only preliminary or limited testing is done, and it becomes a big mystery about what the cause is. This situation is identified by a doctors inability to pin down a problem after only a couple of tests or when a person cant describe their problem in more that just vague terms. The source of the majority of visual problems can be determined if the appropriate tests are done and interpreted correctly.
So I hope that sheds some light for you and anyone else whod like to better understand about how vision relates to symptoms and diagnosis about why eye exams do and dont supply certain types of information and why they can leave some questions unanswered.

Some neurologists should stay behind the optic nerves...
Your neurologist was correct that thin optic nerve tissue indicates damage. But she was incorrect to second-guess the eye doctor and attribute your nerve damage to MS, because that isn't how MS works on optic nerves. MS causes [I]pallor[/I] of the optic nerve long before it causes visible thinness. If you do more research you'll find that [I]visible[/I] nerve thinness without pallor isn't a trait of MS. (This is should not be confused with the microscopic thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer found in people with MS.) Your eye doc was correct in suspecting other causes first, your neurologist was wrong.
I've been to several neurologists over the years and have been both amused and horrified by what they didn't know about eyes and vision. One after another of them looked at my seriously atrophied (cupped) optic nerves (due to NMO) and told me my eyes looked just fine.

Referring to Jerusalem as "Al Quds" is no small thing. It would be similar to a potential British MI6 chief referring to London as, "New Berlin" right before WW2.
Al Quds is a recent name made up by the Iranian regime attempting to make Jerusalem fill Islamic destiny where quran refers to the world being Islamic from Mecca to "The Far Mosque". Al Quds is an attempt to make the dome of the rock in the old city the far mosque and hence, by that reasoning, Israel is rightfully an Islamic state.

Free lesson plans are available to commemorate civil rights milestones, such as President Lyndon Johnson's signing of the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964; the signing of the Voting Rights Act on Aug. 6, 1965; and the signing of the Immigration and Nationality Act on Oct. 3, 1965, at the foot of the Statue of Liberty.
The six lesson plans for high schools and middle schools allow students to learn about affirmative action, the right of religious freedom, the fight for racial equality in education, ballot propositions and civil rights, and other key topics.
By Mike Myslinski
Judy Collier at the March on Washington
It was more than a teachable moment - it was a teachable year for the country.
Three retired Bay Area educators were witnesses to civil rights history in 1963. They have vivid memories of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom 50 summers ago, where they sang songs with a mass of humanity and listened in awe at a peaceful protest like the nation had never seen.
Organizers expected a crowd of 100,000. A crowd of about 250,000 came - white, African American, poor, wealthy, famous, young and old. It was a hot summer day, and it was time to turn up the heat.
Margaret Browne, Judy Collier and Harriet Hutchinson were thrilled to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give his "I Have a Dream" speech, which transfixed the country with its passion and purpose. These young women from Tennessee, Illinois and New Jersey believed in the formal demands of the march organizers, which included an immediate end to segregation in schools, an improved national minimum wage, voting rights, a federal jobs program, and "comprehensive and effective civil rights legislation from the present Congress."
And they agree today that the event has lots to offer new generations of students about perseverance and dedication to the cause of civil rights and the ongoing fight for social and economic justice. There are still lessons to be learned and taught. The march led to President Johnson signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which the U.S. Supreme Court recently watered down in June.
They sang songs locked in arms with friends and strangers, songs like "We Shall Overcome," "Blowin' in the Wind" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." Performers at the Lincoln Memorial included Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, Odetta, and gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. It was Jackson, standing near Dr. King, who urged him during his speech to go off-script somewhat and "tell them about the dream, Martin." His improvising immortalized his words and electrified the crowd.
The nation was battered by racism and violence in 1963. In January, new Alabama Gov. George Wallace proclaimed his defiant policy of "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." In May, high-powered fire hoses and police attack dogs assaulted peaceful civil rights marchers in Birmingham, Ala. President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard in June to force Wallace to step aside and desegregate the University of Alabama - and then Kennedy proposed his own landmark civil rights legislation. Civil rights leader Medgar Evers was murdered in June, shot in the back outside his home in Mississippi. In September, four black girls were killed by a dynamite bomb blast at a Birmingham church. And in November, President Kennedy rode in an open car in Dallas as shots rang out.
But on Aug. 28, 1963, these three women were in Washington, full of hope and a hunger for social justice, taking part in one of the largest political rallies the U.S. has ever seen.
Margaret Browne drove hundreds of miles to Washington from her segregated hometown of Knoxville, Tenn., with three friends. A graduate student at the University of Tennessee at the time, Browne had taken part in protests against segregated lunch counters in Tennessee. She worked in Alabama from 1960 to 1962 at a rural school. As an African American, she feared for her safety there. "It scared the hell out of me, because you could be shot and killed and nothing would be done about it." She moved to California in 1987 and spent 20 years as a public school teacher in the Bay Area, mostly teaching high school biology and chemistry in the West Contra Costa Unified School District. The Washington march and rally was "inspiring and enlightening."
"The crowd was so huge that I couldn't see the speakers. However, I could hear them over the public address system," Browne recalls. "It was something that you felt compelled to go to. It was the thing to do, it was the place to go, it was the place to be."
Her boyfriend at the time was an organizer with the famed Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a key civil rights group that led voter registration drives and the "Freedom Riders" protests, where activists rode interstate buses in the deep South during the 1960s, in states where federal laws against interstate bus segregation were being ignored.
Local police were out in force, expecting riots or worse. The crowd remained peaceful.
"There was no animosity, no hostility there. But then, that was another era. We expected to go somewhere and act in an appropriate manner. It's not like today where, if you're in a crowd, there may be hostilities or people fighting. That was not there. It was huge, as I recall, and a friendly crowd," she says.
"After the march, our group drove to Danville, Virginia, to visit friends who were SNCC organizers. We were followed and stopped several times by the Danville police before we arrived at the residence where our friends were staying. However, the entire experience, at the march and in Danville, was inspiring and enlightening."
Browne questions how much of King's dream of racial equality has become a reality. "I didn't believe there would ever be a black president in my lifetime," she says, but she feels President Obama is too cautious and spends too much time appealing to corporations and the middle of America. "And the middle at this point is really moving to the right," she adds.
"We have a lot of work to do, in my opinion, because we still have racism." Too many blacks are still being incarcerated, for example. But segregation is gone.
She recalls how, in 2010, on a family vacation trip, her group got a little lost and ended up driving into Mississippi by accident. In a restaurant, "the whole place was integrated." She sat where she wanted.
She turned to her grandson, who was 17 at the time, and said, "You know, when I was your age, this could not have been the case." He looked at her as if to say, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"
Judy Collier took a train to Washington from her hometown of Chicago, the daughter of progressive parents and granddaughter of a suffragist. The plan was to meet up with her boyfriend at the time, who was taking a bus from Atlanta, at the far left pillar of the Lincoln Memorial (amazingly, they did). Judy Collier moved to California in 1964 in time to take part in the free speech movement at UC Berkeley, and taught elementary kids for 25 years in West Contra Costa Unified. She took 17 black-and-white pictures at the march and treasures those images, using them now when she gives school talks about what the early civil rights struggles meant.
She still has her iconic button from the protest showing two hands, black and white, firmly clasping. It is a badge of honor. In her talks with younger students, she has them cut out paper copies of the button and threads each circle with yarn so kids can wear the badge around their necks.
"I didn't know it then, but this was to be one of the most memorable days of my life," Collier says of her Washington experience.
"I remember a little boy selling newspapers with the headline, 'They're Pouring In From All Over.' There was a group of people from North Carolina singing freedom songs. We had arrived early enough to get up close on the grass. Everyone was dressed up, as if they were going to work or church. There were young and old, white and black, and such a feeling of hope and unity.
"I'll never forget when Martin Luther King Jr. spoke, or how we held hands and sang 'We Shall Overcome' afterwards. One of my photos shows the signs that the folks in front of us carried: 'We March For Effective Civil Rights Now!' and 'We March For Integrated Schools Now!'"
The decorum of the crowd struck her. "To see the sea of faces, black and white, everybody dressed up like they were going to church - it was overwhelming. There was this hope that things would change."
She has hope today as well. "If we come together, anything is possible."
Harriet Hutchinson was a college student in New Jersey in 1963. She says she was different from other students: "Everybody had pictures of the Beatles up in their dorm rooms. I had Bob Dylan." She is Jewish and remembers how Jews and people of color were placed in one certain dorm. Hutchinson continued to be active in the civil rights movement after the march, moved to California in 1967, and taught in Oakland Unified School District for 40 years before retiring. She still coaches beginning teachers part time for the district, and she clearly remembers driving to Washington from New Jersey with a friend that summer.
"There were people everywhere! I had never been anyplace where there were so many people. There was no fear. There was so much camaraderie and good feelings, and everyone stopped to talk to each other, asking where they were from. We walked together. We sang together. On the day of the event, it was so crowded, we couldn't get very close. So it was difficult to see, but the sound system was good, and we were able to hear.
"I remember feeling very proud that I was part of this event and that I was able to be counted. It turned out to be just the beginning for me."
Hutchinson marched in 1965 from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., a landmark event focusing on registering blacks to vote. Dr. King walked in the march, and when the tired crowd reached Montgomery, he came and thanked all who took part.
But the March on Washington sparked her heart first, as it did a generation of hearts.
"We drove down because we felt it was important that our voices be heard and our presence be known."

text: I am going to try a 10 mile TT this weekend,flat course out and back. Wanted to know what strategys work for others. Start hard then settle into something close to red line I think I can keep up? Start slower and continue to ramp up? Save a sprint for the last mile? Watch the speedo and try to keep constant speed? Ignore the speedo and feel for the red line? I dont have a heart rate monitor. Being my first one I'm sure it will be hard to really follow a plan but I'd like to try.

ATLANTA (AP) - Federal education officials say Georgia has a high school graduation rate of 67 percent among all students, ranking it behind all of its neighboring states.
The U.S. Department of Education released the data this week. It details four-year high school graduation rates in 2010-11 - the first year for which all states used a common, rigorous measure.
Federal officials say varying methods of graduation rates states used previously were unreliable for state-by-state comparisons.
However, education officials said in a statement that the new data released Monday allow for such comparisons and can be used by states, districts and schools to promote greater accountability and increase graduation rates.
Among states bordering Georgia, Tennessee scored highest with an overall rate of 86 percent, followed by North Carolina at 78 percent.

Associated Press News Release
MIAMI (AP) -- A Florida teenager's Facebook post has cost her father an $80,000 legal settlement.
The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/1dcxnXU ) reported Sunday the father had sued a Miami-area preparatory school for age discrimination after he lost his job as headmaster.
The school agreed to settle the case for $80,000 and the settlement agreement included a stipulation that the man and his wife not disclose details of the settlement with anyone.
The daughter posted on Facebook that the money would pay for family vacation to Europe.
The post invalidated the settlement.

For complete coverage of the 2012 CeraVe Invitational, including intern-produced recaps, interviews, on-demand videos and photos, go to the Event Landing Page. A LIVE stream of finals will also be available at the Event Landing Page.
Feature by Swimming World intern Valerie Podbelski
PISCATAWAY, New Jersey, January 15. FOR more than 20 years, the Long Island Aquatic Club has grown into one of the best clubs in the northeast. Much of the success of this club can be credited to its founder and head coach, Dave Ferris.
Since its establishment in 1979, LIAC has become one of the highest ranking clubs in the country. It is home to some of the best swimmers who have competed nationally and internationally. LIAC has been listed as a USA Swimming National Team of Excellence dating back to the beginning of the program in 2002. Since 1990, the club has won more Metropolitan and Northeast Sectional Championships than any other team in its division.
Ferris' swimming career began by casually going to his town's pool. Throughout the years, he developed a competitive edge and soon enough he began racing. After swimming for most of his life, Ferris began to see the importance of coaching and how his coaches refined his skills.
"I was inspired by how my coaches were able to help each swimmer improve their skills and techniques. I liked the idea that I would be able to do that too," Ferris said.
In preparation for this meet, Ferris made sure he had his number one priority item in hand, "Of course I needed to get my coffee before I came here," Ferris joked. Upon his team'[s arrival, he made sure his swimmers were ready and set to go.
"It's always great to start off a meet after we just took a break. This week, we are just going to see where kids place are and how fit they are."
After the intense dry land workouts LIAC swimmers go through it's no surprise why LIAC is one of the fittest swimming clubs in the nation.
"We begin practice at 6 in the morning," Ferris said. "After our swimmers go to school we hold another practice. Sometimes we have dry-land workouts 2-3 times a week and the rest we spend in water.
Ferris has accumulated great recognition for his team. It continues to succeed and is expected to continue on its path of success.
The most important rule Ferris believes every swimmer should know is that, "swimming is a great opportunity. It gives a person a better way to help improve themselves and to work hard and get better. Swimming is a sport where you race yourself and you can only make yourself better."

Well today was probably one of my best rides id ever had in my life, until my axle broke. The ride started off amazing it was really muddy and wet which i like and my bike was working great. Itd had been storming and there were tons of downed limbs that we had to pick up but that made it even better because we ended up finding these log stunts that we would have never seen if we were going fast. The first one was a ladder onto a 3 feet tall log and then it dropped to a nice tranny. THe second one was just a 3-4 fott drop to flat. Well after doing each stunt like 4 times i noticed my bike would act funny when i turned to i started looking around and when i took my back tire off my axle feel out in two pieces. We had one great crash my friend was going down this short steep hill and he hit his front brake and the tire slid out and he rolled all the way down and straight into a puddle.
Now would you guys reccomend that i upgrade my bike(gt avalanche3.0) or just buy a new bike. If you reccomend a new bike I would kinda like suggestions on a nice dualie with like 120mm front and anything but an air shock on the rear. O im about 5'10" 185lbs.

- Long recognized for enabling leading practices for internal audit
- Empowers the effective use of internal audit resources
- Provides intuitive dashboards and a variety of reporting approaches
- Best-in-class professional services team available to implement
- Deployment options include cloud, hosted and installed
Thomson Reuters Audit Manager increases the productivity of your entire internal audit management process, including risk assessment, planning, scheduling, preparation, review, report generation, global issue tracking and administration. This empowers you to focus on what really matters – understanding the risks your organization faces and helping to improve your processes, risk framework and internal controls.
The internal audit discipline is evolving rapidly, with heads of internal audit shifting from being cop to counselor. Largely focused on complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the past, today's internal teams are now being called upon to drive an approach that moves them beyond simply being a third line of defense. These trends are coalescing into a triple set of pressures on audit teams:
- To increase the amount of strategic value and insight that a single team can deliver to the business
- To engage proactively with a broader set of stakeholders across the business
- To simultaneously provide independent and objective assurance on risk management, corporate governance and internal controls
Meeting these pressures head-on, and then rising above them to achieve a truly successful audit function, requires fresh thinking. To enable this transition, internal audit teams are employing Thomson Reuters Audit Manager to:
- Reduce the time and resources an individual audit requires, while improving overall quality
- Implement a risk-based audit framework to ensure that key priorities are assessed first
- Free auditors to deliver more analysis and better reporting to key stakeholders
- Improve the quality of the information you deliver to your senior management and Board audit committee
Navigate complexity with confidence
Board audit committees, as well as senior leadership teams, are now looking to internal audit teams to help them understand how they can improve the way they manage risks, controls and processes across the organization. Keeping the organization safe means navigating reputational, cyber security and third party risk as well as other emerging issues; ensuring that the organization is managing these challenges correctly; and anticipating future developments.
Internal audit can no longer be delivered effectively through manual spreadsheets and documents. Resources spent managing the internal audit life-cycle should be redeployed to drive strategic analysis, recommendations on alternative approaches to processes and controls, and a better understanding of risk.
With Thomson Reuters Audit Manager, you can:
- Create audit plans that reflect the risks and requirements of your organization
- Improve your organization's risk assessment processes
- Identify and monitor emerging risks within your business
- Enhance the efficiency of audit team work, to refocus resources on gaining business insight
- Communicate more effectively with stakeholders, including the Board, senior management and regulators
- Align with and improve the sophistication of audits of the risk, control and compliance functions
- Ensure that core audit activities, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance, are completed robustly
Thomson Reuters Audit Manager provides end-to-end internal audit life-cycle management that is based on 20 years of industry best practice. Our internal audit software solution lets you and your team focus on your day-to-day priorities, so that you can concentrate on what really matters to your organization.

terminus([options,] _writeFunction)
Create a
streams.Writable instance that will call
_writeFunction on every chunk. Consult the stream.Writable documentation for instructions on creating a
_write function.
terminus.ctor([options,] _writeFunction)
Create a
streams.Writable Subclass that can be used to re-create stream.Writable instances with the same _writeFunction.
Create a
stream.Writable instance that is akin to writing to
dev/null i.e. it doesn't do anything except give your stream somewhere to go.
Why? Because if your pipeline doesn't terminate on a Writable stream, it will get paused at the High Water Mark with nothing to unpause it. I've most often seen this when people are using PassThrough streams, or Transforms that incorporate all required behavior.
terminus.concat([options], fn)
Collect the entire stream and when it is done, call
fn(contents). This is similar to the stream behavior of concat-stream without the extra Array/Buffer concat behavior and entirely in streams2.
terminus.tail([options], fn)
A slightly less complicated version of
terminus([options,] _writeFunction) that only requries you to provide a function that operates as
fn(chunk, encoding).
All functions accept standard
streams.Writable options, that is:
[Number] Buffer level when write() starts returning false.
[Boolean] Whether not to decode strings into Buffers before passing them to _write()
[Boolean] If the content is Javascript objects versus strings/buffers.
The most common option you'll be setting is
objectMode or you'll get errors. It's annoying, I know.

Early CD Review: Tom Morello The Nightwatchman: The Fabled City
Tom Morellos second solo album as The Nightwatchman is, musically speaking anyway, a bit louder than last years One Man Revolution, although not in the same sense as his better known work with his big arena rock bands Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave.
At the same time, lyrically speaking anyway, The Fabled City has a quieter, more personal feel to it. Here, the songs are populated by characters who for the most part are just trying to eek out a day to day existence or are otherwise just doing whatever they can to survive.
On this album, Morello weaves their stories in the sort of instantly engaging way that owes far more to the everyman tradition of people like Guthrie, Dylan, and Springsteen than to the guitar hero sort of pedigree youd normally associate with his work in Rage Against The Machine. In songs like Gone Like the Rain, we meet for example, folks who discover that theres a river in Texas, with a strong undertow, no one crosses it for freedom, no one pans for gold.
We already knew that Tom Morello is a monster guitarist. But on The Fabled City, he tells smaller stories that resonate in a way that cuts straight to the bone. On this album, Morello proves to be as masterful a storyteller as he is a guitarist.
The Nightwatchman is of course Morellos alter-ego that he uses as a vehicle for the darker visions of his more stripped down solo work. The songs on The Fabled City are not as overtly political as they were on its predecessor, as Morello has for the most part eschewed the more populist tone of his work with Rage, for the politics of the personal.
Although the musical palette has been expanded somewhat on The Fabled City to include electric full band arrangements, the tone is still one of a starker sounding base of folk and blues. There are also hints of funk (Whatever It Takes), gospel (Saint Isabelle, and Lazurus On Down), and even a hint of country twang (on The King Of Hell who isnt the devil by the way). The level of struggle and grit here is palpable, and Morellos lower sounding vocal register suits the brooding tone of these songs perfectly.
The Fabled City opens with the title track, which sounds like the soundtrack to a spaghetti western played out on the streets of L.A.s Sunset and Crescent, where the streets are paved in gold, but an iron fence runs around it, and its iron gate is closed. This Mexican sounding musical backdrop is further played out on The Lights Are On In Spidertown, where Morello offers up a fabulous solo on the nylon strings, as the backing vocals conjure visions of the Talking Heads gone mariachi.
On the most overtly political song here, its Midnight In The City Of Destruction.
On this song, Morello calls for no less than the head of Bush on a platter. "I pray that God himself will come and drown the president if the levees break again, Morello sings in one line. In another, he puts himself within the walls of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, describing a secret prison that keeps its secrets well.
On The Iron Wheel, Morello is joined by Shooter Jennings to describe the treadmill of the iron wheel that slowly spins around, it takes you from the cradle till your six feet underground, youll ride the wheel till your through, and those who spin the wheel, well, those fuckers ride it too.
On Lazurus On Down, Morello is joined by System Of A Downs Serj Tankian, although he is barely recognizable here.
Earlier this year Tom Morello joined Bruce Springsteen onstage in Los Angeles for an electrifying version of the latters Ghost Of Tom Joad. Taken within the context of the songs on The Fabled City, the collaboration seems a fitting one. Like Springsteens Woody Guthrie inspired songs on the Joad album, the characters on Morellos The Fabled City for the most part are living out a sort of dust bowl existence with the hooves of the apocalypses fabled four horsemen sounding not that far off in the distance.
It is the sort of bleak lyrical landscape that is perfectly matched by the dark, folk and blues based arrangements of this amazing record one which signals the arrival of Tom Morello as a songwriter every bit as great as we already know him as a guitarist.
The Nightwatchmans The Fabled City arrives in record stores on September 30.

With quips about 'Private Benjamin' aimed at me and wisecracks about 'Sergeant Bilko' chucked back at him, today my husband and I spent time with women soldiers from the Israel Defence Forces Education Corps.
We were among other immigrants living in Karmiel, Lower Galilee, who have settled in Israel via the Nefesh B'Nefesh 'Go North Project'.
The soldiers were led by a young, gun-toting woman officer whose mother is part of the NBN Go North team. The women we met are English teachers whose students have a chance to complete neglected school studies while serving in the military.
We saw a film describing their work and their students who often come from underprivileged backgrounds and who for various reasons are unable to complete conventional schooling. The education the recruits acquire may also help them to gain employment more easily in civilian life after they leave the army.

CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA -- The Australian Boomers, featuring the nation's best players, jumped to an early lead and then pulled away to a 96-57 victory over Butler in an exhibition game in Canberra on Saturday (Aug. 10). It was Butler's third game in Australia and the team's first setback.
The Australian National Team, featuring a number of professional players, grabbed a 33-11 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. The Bulldogs did close to 47-32 at halftime, but the Boomers pulled away in the second half.
Patty Mills, who's with the San Antonio Spurs, and Joe Ingles led the Boomers with 17 points apiece, while Luke Nevill added 14 points and six rebounds. Former Valparaiso player Ryan Broekhoff had 12 points in the win.
The Boomers shot 53% from the field and 42% from beyond the three-point arc in the game.
Kellen Dunham led the Bulldogs with 16 points, while Erik Fromm, Nolan Berry and Khyle Marshall each added seven. Kameron Woods had a team-high seven rebounds.
The Bulldogs will close out their four-game tour on Sunday in Cairns with a game against the Cairns Taipans.

Astronomy enthusiasts and passers-by alike caught a rare glimpse of Mercury's transit across the sun on May 9, the first time the phenomenon had occurred since 2006.
"If you look about nine o'clock, there should be a clean black dot. The ones in the center are fuzzy sunspots," said Mike Dempsey, a naturalist at Lookout Mountain Nature Center who was stationed at Mount Falcon Park with a $2,000 telescope donated by volunteers and equipped with a filter to make the viewing possible.
Jeffco Public Schools and its teachers union have reached a tentative contract agreement after months of negotiations.
The five-year agreement includes $14.1 million in annual raises, $10.4 million for a one-time pay increase and a transparent pay schedule. It retains a slightly modified version of the controversial pay-for-performance system instituted by the previous school board.
If Jeffco Public Schools' proposed facilities master plan isn't approved next month, the district will have to consider other solutions to the issue of its aging buildings and the capital needs associated with repairing and replacing those facilities.
According to Superintendent Dan McMinimee, year-round school, a split-shift schedule and a bond issue focused on deferred maintenance all are possibilities.
A Littleton man accused of killing his common-law wife was convicted Monday of first-degree murder.
Michael Sommerfield, 35, was found guilty by a jury in the slaying of Michele Lucero, 34, in 2014. On March 21, 2014, the Jeffco Sheriff's Office was called to Lucero's home in the 9300 block of West Ontario Drive, where she was found dead. An autopsy later concluded the woman had died from ligature strangulation.
The economic crime unit of the Denver DA's office is reviewing a complaint from ProgressNow Colorado, a political group that has alleged signatures were forged on the petitions of Jon Keyser in his bid to make the GOP primary ballot for U.S. Senate.
After receiving a letter from Alan Franklin, political director of ProgressNow, the district attorney's office agreed to review the complaint, said Lynn Kimbrough, Denver DA's spokesperson.
"We are in the process of looking at documents," Kimbrough said.
The lower portion of Waterton Canyon reopened for daily recreational use on Sunday.
The area had been closed Monday through Saturday since early February for construction of the High Line Canal diversion structure in the South Platte River.
Access to the river from the canyon entrance to mile marker 3.2 is closed indefinitely because of high flows in the South Platte from April storms. The high flows also prevented crews from completing the construction project by early May as scheduled.
Folks who came to the Trails Talk meeting of Jeffco Open Space on May 10 learned that a section of the Peaks to Plains Trail linking Jefferson and Clear Creek counties is scheduled to open in mid-July.
The 3-mile segment in Clear Creek Canyon extends from the west portal of Tunnel 5 to the parking lot at Mayhem Gulch, Scott Grossman, Jeffco Open Space project manager, told a group at The Peak Community and Wellness Center.
Speaking to nearly 200 people gathered last Thursday at the Terrace Gardens at Ken Caryl, Dennis Carruth of Carruth Properties outlined his proposal to create patio homes for baby boomers and seniors on land beside the Deer Creek Golf Course.
Carruth is representing landowners in the Deer Creek and Ken Caryl planning areas who are seeking rezoning from industrial and office uses to Residential Planned Development to build about 128 duplex-style and single-family residences on two parcels totaling 22 acres.
Employee compensation, state funding and an enrollment decline remain major discussion points as Jeffco Public Schools moves closer to finalizing its budget for the 2016-17 academic year.
Voters on Tuesday chose incumbent Kristina Moeder to continue serving on the board of the West Metro Fire Protection District in the only contested race.
Two other incumbents, Pam Feely and Wendy Volmerran, ran unopposed.
Moeder defeated challenger Michael Williams 186 votes to 64. Feely and Volmer received 224 and 216 votes, respectively.
In her campaign, Moeder pointed to the need for ensuring financial security for the district, as well as firefighter safety by providing apparatus and equipment.

Chip maker Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) is cutting costs and rolling out a series of new products in an effort to turn things around. The question is, will these actions finally make a difference and drive up the stock price?
In the second quarter of 2007, Intel's sales rose 8.4% from the year earlier quarter to $8.68 billion. Per-share profit rose 46.7% to 22 cents, but 3 cents of that came from one-time tax items. Analysts expected 22 cents, compared with 15 cents a year ago. Gross margin fell to 46.9% from 50.1% the previous quarter, and 52.1% a year ago quarter.
This result is due to pricing pressure in the lower end of the market where competition is fierce and start-up costs incurred due to new process technology. Operating cash flow rose 9.1% and free cash flow moved up 1,066.7% as capital expenditures fell.
Cost Cutting
Several years ago, Intel embarked on a strategy to reduce costs and improve plant utilization. The company cut the size of its work force to 90,300 people as of the end of the second quarter 2007. It had 94,100 employees as of December 30, 2006, while one year ago, it had 99,900.
The company has also put its existing plants under the microscope, closing those that were not part of its long-term strategy. This is helping to spread fixed costs over a larger number of chips produced, lowering per-unit costs.
These efforts are contributing to faster factory throughput, higher yields and better use of equipment. This has allowed the company to lower its future capital spending.
Also, Intel is increasing production of its latest 45 nanometer process technology. This will increase lot sizes which will lower per-unit costs even further. Startup costs were incurred in the first half of 2007 that lowered operating margins. Management stated it expects manufacturing costs to decline in the second half of the year as these costs will be much lower. This will further contribute to lower costs for the company as they ramp up production of their new products.
As a result second quarter operating expenses rose only 5.7% from the comparable quarter last year while operating income grew 25.9%. This helped increase operating income margin to 15.6% from 13.4%.
And finally in May 2007 Intel, STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM) and Francisco Partners announced an agreement to form a new independent company by combining Intel's NOR flash memory business and STMicroelectronics' NAND flash businesses. The new company is expected to be a market segment leader in non-volatile memory solutions, serving customers in wireless communications and other segments.
Intel will own 45.1% and receive $432 million in cash for the deal. The new company will borrow the money necessary to pay the cash, which will be more expensive in today's new credit markets. Hopefully, the transaction will close by the fourth quarter of 2007, once regulatory reviews and closing conditions are met. This should eliminate a losing business for Intel, once the deal is finalized and the company is able to ramp up operations.
New Products
In the emerging markets, desktops did better than expected, causing shipment of desktop chips to grow faster. The company is still expecting higher margins in the second half of the year as manufacturing of the 45 nanometer microprocessors will ramp up, overcoming the start up costs that were incurred in the first half of the year.
Support for this growth outlook is a report from research company IDC that PC shipments are expected to grow at low double-digit rates up from single-digit rates in 2006. This growth is being driven by the continuous move to mobile computing. When coupled with the technology refresh for desktops and growth of spending for faster more power efficient servers, it is very reasonable to expect an increase in the demand for Intel microprocessors.
Intel intends to roll out new, better-performing chips every year to help solidify and expand its market share position. The company is doing well with its dual-core processors. Intel is currently the only company with a quad-core processor, with these shipments doubling in the latest quarter. The company announced it has shipped over 1 million quad-core microprocessors for servers and desktop systems, expanding its quad-core line-up to 14 different processors.
In the last quarter Intel introduced a new generation of Centrino processor technology (formerly code-named Santa Rosa) that delivers high-bandwidth WiFi connectivity and richer graphics processing. Notebook PC makers are launching more than 230 new designs for consumers and business users with this technology. Mobile computing represents 40% of shipments in the second quarter.
The company introduced the Intel 3 Series chipset family which adds new capabilities and provides manufacturers with a socket-compatible migration path to Intel's upcoming "Penryn" family of processors based on the industry's first 45 nanometer process technology. Speaking of Penryn, Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD) is about to release its first quad-core processors named Barcelona. Intel will face competition in the quad-core processor market, though it will also help Intel to encourage server and PC manufacturers to migrate to the new architecture. As yet, there haven't been any published performance comparisons of the AMD and Intel quad-core processors.
The Bottom Line
Intel has long-term potential as the company becomes more dominant in semi-conductors and grows its mobile business. The company has fundamentally changed its direction and is poised for growth. It would be attractive if it dipped down in price.
Keep in mind, this is a turnaround situation and it may take awhile for the company to correct all of its problems. However, it has overcome the pressure from AMD and is continuing to lower its costs. As Intel's new products gain acceptance in the market, the company should see growing profits and margins. So far, the market for these new products is positive, which leads one to believe now is the time to enter into a position. This is a high risk investment suitable for aggressive investors.

4th Street Bistro
by Sherril Steele-Carlin
4th STREET BISTRO
3065 W 4th Street, Reno, NV 89523
(775) 323-3200
Chef Natalie and co-owner Carol have a hit on their hands because they insist on local, organic ingredients, Niman Ranch hormone-free beef, and consistently put out some of the best food in Reno. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here, but Chef Natalie's seafood is especially well-prepared, if it's on the menu, the Mahi Mahi with polenta is just as close to heaven as you can get in a restaurant. The Red Walnut salad topping makes my mouth water every time I walk in the door. Say yes to dessert with the sinfully rich Scharffen Berger Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache Torte with a Pecan Crust & Caramel Sauce, paired with a Canadian ice wine, and you'll see why 4th Street is my top pick.

121 Vesta Street, Reno, NV 89502-2913
(775) 322-2300
A new entry into Reno's dining scene, Café Bella Sera brings in fresh foods from the East Coast and beyond every day to recreate a New York dining experience. The portions are large, and the prices, well, reflect the imported ingredients, but it's some of the best Italian food in the area. Dino's meatballs (the most tender and luscious meatballs I've ever tasted), will serve two to four easily, and entrees are massive, expect lots of leftovers. Pair that with a good wine list, a lounge, bar with entertainment, cigars in the bar, and excellent service. That makes Café Bella Sera is an excellent choice for that special night out.
985 West Fifth Street, Reno, 89503
(775) 322-6866
Locals are just beginning to discover this hidden gem on Fifth Street near Keystone. It serves up great tasting Mexican food, and tacos start at $1. That's right, a buck for some of the best tacos in town! This is a fast-food type restaurant, so don't expect a lot of ambiance inside. However, if you like tasty tacos, complete with homemade tortillas and all the trimmings, you won't be disappointed here. Many people make the mistake of thinking Fresh Mex is a chain, but it's not. It's locally owned and operated by Jesus Gutierrez, a chef who worked in casinos before he had the opportunity to own his own restaurant.
719 South Virginia Street, Reno, NV 89501
(775) 322-7373
6135 Lakeside Drive, Reno, NV 89509
(775) 828-0400
Yum, Luciano's has been an Italian pacesetter in Reno for years. The Lakeside location is newer and more intimate than the downtown location, so it's my choice for a romantic as well as delicious Italian meal. Owner and Chef Luciano Pilisi grew up in Italy so he knows his way around a pasta pot. My favorite choices at either location include the fried calamari appetizer (the only calamari I'll eat in town), and fantastic ravioli that simply melts in your mouth. The Antipasto tray is my husband's favorite.
The Little Nugget
233 North Virginia Street, Reno, 89502
(775) 323-0716
If you want the best burger in Reno, head to the Little Nugget Casino in downtown Reno and ask for the "Awful-Awful." For only $3.99 every day, you'll get a massive burger with all the trimmings, served along with a huge basket of crispy french fries. It's the best deal in town, and the best burger to boot. The restaurant, if you can call it that, is miniscule, with a counter and only a few seats. It's located in the very rear of the casino, and expect it to be crowded no matter what time of day you visit. The food is simple, homemade before your eyes, and anything you choose here is good. However, nothing packs the punch of the Awful-Awful.
3800 South Virginia Street,. Reno, NV 89502
(800) 723-6500 or (775) 825-4700
This buffet consistently gets voted one of the best in Reno for Sunday brunch. Sometimes service can be spotty, which drops it down on my list. The food choices are almost endless, however, from oysters on the half-shell to custom-cooked omelets and an Asian wok station, Mongolian BBQ, and South of the border choices. I particularly like the Mongolian BBQ, where you can watch the chef prepare the ingredients you choose, and the omelet station. My husband swears by the seafood choices here, which seem endless. Champagne is included with brunch, which makes it a great deal, too.

How's your week in business? For aspiring entrepreneurs, did you take any action and what kind of results are you getting? For the whole week, I have been cutting down my hours on business as I am preparing for my upcoming exams.
I'm still making progress instead of reaching a complete standstill. Remember the benefits I mentioned in 9 Alarming Reasons to Outsource or Hire? No worries, what you are currently reading comes straight from me. 😉
This week, I came across a lot of great blog posts and handpicking which to share with you was hard. Anyway, the following are 5 blog posts that are jam-packed with tips. Hope you will learn something from them.
Stay Alert for 2010: 10 Trends are Happening
2010 is coming and 2009 has been a terrific year on the Internet, especially for the social media realm. What are the things that will strike the Internet in 2010?
Pete Cashmore, founder and CEO of Mashable, wrote a piece on CNN with the title, 10 Web Trends to Watch in 2010. In the article, he listed and elaborated on 10 aspects where the Internet will move into next year.
I am particularly excited about mobile commerce and location-based technology. If you are a subscriber of this blog, you know what will be hitting Wayne Liew Dot Com this month. The interview with Marshall Haas, a young serial entrepreneur who is currently working on his BizBreak iPhone application, is just the start.
As an entrepreneur, you need to know these trends because they are very likely to have an impact on your industry and if you brainstorm along these trends, you might come across new opportunities or strategies to take your business to the next level.
Reasons to Use Twitter for Business
Twitter is rapidly becoming a site or tool that everyone knows but there are still a lot of businesses out there that don't have a clue about the why and how to use it for business.
Douglas Karr published 15 Business Reasons to Use Twitter. In that article, he listed some reasons why you should start using Twitter for business purposes after he finished reading the book, Twitterville: How Businesses Can Thrive in the New Global Neighborhoods by Shel Israel. Some of the reasons include using Twitter as a customer support platform, networking tool and more.
There are so many things that you can do on Twitter and if you are thinking it should only be a tool to generate sales. You're wrong. Twitter is a tool that is capable of achieving more than that.
Young Entrepreneurs, Create a Name for Yourself
The boom of the Internet has really provided the opportunity for each and everyone of us to create a name for ourselves. Personal branding is no longer an option, it is already a necessity.
Matt Wilson, a fellow young entrepreneur, came up with a blog post with the title, 7 Steps to Create a Name for Yourself as a Young Entrepreneur. Matt provides step-by-step tips as well as the necessary resources for you to create a name for yourself.
This is not only for young entrepreneurs. I deeply believe that everyone will have something that they are passionate about or topics that they are good with. You should create a name that sits on that something or the topic. This idea is further expanded and elaborated in the book, Crush It: Why NOW is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk.
Internet Marketing News and Why Should You Care
Yes, I know that you as a small business owner or an entrepreneur is super busy and it's hard to stay on top of things that are moving fast, such as the landscape of Internet marketing. However, you need to know that keeping up with Internet marketing news will help you and your business out in the long run.
Frank Reed, with 5 Great Reasons to Follow Internet Marketing Industry News, shows you why you should start following Internet marketing news. The following quote is from the article and I can't agree more with him.
There is nothing worse for any business person than wasting time on something that could have been avoided with a little industry due diligence.

A client implementation for Rackspace CloudFiles in node.js
A client implementation for Rackspace CloudFiles in node.js
$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
$ npm install cloudfiles
The node-cloudfiles library is compliant with the Rackspace CloudFiles API. Using node-cloudfiles is easy for a variety of scenarios: authenticating, creating and working with both containers and storage objects.
Before we can do anything with cloudfiles, we have to create a client with valid credentials. Cloudfiles will authenticate for you automatically:
var cloudfiles = require'cloudfiles'; var config = auth : username: 'your-username' apiKey: 'your-api-key' ; var client = cloudfilescreateClientconfig;
Rackspace Cloudfiles divides files into 'Containers'. These are very similar to S3 Buckets if you are more familiar with Amazon. There are a couple of simple operations exposed by node-cloudfiles:
// Creating a container clientsetAuth clientcreateContainer'myContainer' // Listing files in the Container containergetFiles ; ; ;
Each Container has a set of 'StorageObjects' (or files) which can be retrieved via a Cloudfiles client. Files are downloaded to a local file cache that can be configured per client.
clientcreateContainer'myContainer' // // Uploading a file // clientaddFile'myContainer' remote: 'remoteName.txt' local: 'path/to/local/file.txt' // File has been uploaded ; // // Downloading a file // clientgetFile'myContainer' 'remoteName.txt' // // Save it to a location outside the cache // filesave local: 'path/to/local/file.txt' // // File has been saved. // ; ; ;
Use the 'host' key in the auth configuration to specify the url to use for authentication:
var cloudfiles = require'cloudfiles'; var config = auth : username: 'your-username' apiKey: 'your-api-key' host : "lon.auth.api.rackspacecloud.com" ; var client = cloudfilescreateClientconfig;
Rackspace Cloud Servers have a private interface, known as ServiceNet, that is unmetered and has double the throughput of the public interface. When transferring files between a Cloud Server and Cloud Files, ServiceNet can be used instead of the public interface.
By default, ServiceNet is not used. To use ServiceNet for the transfer, set the 'servicenet' key to
true in your client config:
var cloudfiles = require'cloudfiles'; var config = auth : username: 'your-username' apiKey: 'your-api-key' host : "lon.auth.api.rackspacecloud.com" servicenet: true ; var client = cloudfilescreateClientconfig;
NOTE: ServiceNet can only be used to transfer files between Cloud Servers and Cloud Files within the same datacenter. Rackspace support can migrate both Cloud Servers and Cloud Files to the same datacenter if needed.
All of the node-cloudservers tests are written in vows, and cover all of the use cases described above. You will need to add your Rackspace API username and API key to test/fixtures/test-config.json before running tests:
"auth": "username": "your-username" "apiKey": "your-apikey"
Once you have valid Rackspace credentials you can run tests with vows:
vows test/*-test.js --spec
