Defensive end DeMarcus Ware was back at practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice.
It was no coincidence that the Cowboys practiced in full pads on Wednesday and not on Thursday. Ware has been taking out of three games this season because of problems with stingers and has been limited in practice the last two weeks.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said they are trying to limit Ware's contract in practice during the week in an effort to manage the issue. He has been been able to play in every game so far.
Garrett's admits it's a frustrating problem because there is no guarantee it when or if it will arise each week and you can't avoid contract during games.
"We just want to make sure we don't go backwards on that," coach Jason Garrett said. "He's been able to play really effectively in the games. That's just the way we're handling it now. Hopefully it gets better and we won't have to do that throughout the year."
Ware leads the Cowboys with four sacks this season.

"… it is not fish they are after."
"The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope." — John Buchan
Homeland Security Research Corp. (HSRC) describes itself as "a Washington, DC-based international market research and strategic consulting firm serving the homeland security community."
Two years ago, it projected that
Over the next four years: the U.S. HLS-HLD (i.e. federal, state and local governments, and the private sector) funding will grow from $184 billion in 2011 to $205 billion by 2014. The market will grow from $73 billion in 2011 to $86 billion by 2014.
In another 2010 report– about the private sector's role in homeland security — HSRC notes:
The private sector procurement of homeland security related products and services represents 15-16% of the total US Homeland Security market. The US private sector HLS market is larger than the combined federal aviation, maritime and land transportation HLS markets. Over the next five years, the US private sector HLS market is forecasted to grow … from $7.7 billion in 2010 to $11.2 billion by 2014.
(To digress, this report contributed to my personal collection of favorite homeland security facts by pointing out "The US private sector controls 86% of the nation high-priority infrastructure sites." The usual estimates typically cite an 85% figure. Since the 85% number has no basis in anything beyond rhetoric, I admire the attention to precision suggested by 86%. I also respect the creative addition of "high priority" to the otherwise mundane term, "critical infrastructure.")
A third HSRC 2010 report points out that DHS is just part of the homeland security enterprise:
While the DHS plays a key role in homeland security, it does not dominate the US counter terror … market. The combined state and local markets, which employ more than 2.2 million first responders, totaled $15.8 billion (2009), whereas the DHS HLS market totaled $13.1 billion. …In spite of the fact that nine years passed since 9/11 with no successful terror attack on the continental USA, periodic, multi-year Harris polls, reveal consistent growth of public concern about another major terrorist attack.
That concern suggests opportunity:
Future small scale terror attacks (successful or not) will maintain this trend in the future. [sic] For example, the failed 2009 Christmas attack aboard a flight bound for Detroit and the attempted car-bombing in New York's Time Square (February 2010) resulted in immediate White House intervention, Congressional hearings and a radical air passengers screening upgrade program costing over $1.6 billion.
But even if the federal budget does not come through, there's still state and local government.
Most analysts overlook the fact that the OMB federal rules demand that state and local HLS activities must be financed at the state, county and city level. Annually, all the states and over 40,000 counties and cities fund $53-$62 billion of their HLS activities, while the federal government supplements this spending with grants valued at $3-5 billion annually.
"Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes." — Don Marquis
A recent two-day Counter Terror Expo was sparsely attended, writes Andrea Stone in Huffington Post.
"This is probably one of the worst I've been to in years," said Jason Henry of Field Forensics, a Florida manufacturer of explosives and hazardous-material-detection devices that was incorporated in September 2001. "Nobody's walking the show."
"It was not as well attended as we expected," said Mark Anderson, a representative of FLIR, which manufactures sophisticated thermal imaging equipment for police and the military and was an event cosponsor. …
"Unless a war pops up somewhere else, the homeland security mission will become much more important [compared with a declining DoD mission]," said John Gritschke, a manager for Laser Shot, a Texas-based maker of training videos.
… Despite the low attendance at the expo, most exhibitors said business was good.
That bothered Benjamin Friedman, a Cato Institute analyst.
"Our panicked response to 9/11 has made a kind of self-licking ice cream that tries to keep us worrying about terrorism and sells us defenses against it," Friedman stated …. "This conference is a small part of that."
"The good news is that austerity has meant that there is less money for homeland security, shrinking the homeland security industrial complex and bringing it into increased competition with its far bigger cousin, the military industrial complex," Friedman added.
But one can always count on human nature's self destructiveness.
Whether it's war fighters or cops, Patricia Schmaltz of Virginia-based A-T Solutions sees a vibrant market for her company's antiterrorism training classes. "I don't see peace on Earth coming anytime soon," she said.
"We would definitely support it but we don't see it," Schmaltz said. "So long as there are bad guys and nutcakes out there, we'll be in business."
Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated story, Rebecca Shlien reports the third annual Homeland Security Bass Tournament took place on Friday, May 18th in Decatur, Alabama.
… [Roughly] 300 current and retired firefighters, police officers, first responders and military troops came to cast a line—and not only from North Alabama.
[The tournament's founder said] "I know we've got one [participant] here from Iowa, we've got Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and Florida, so we draw them from quite a ways…. The jobs that these guys have, there's a lot of tense, a lot of stress involved, and to get out there on the water and go fast in a bass boat, spend a few hours catching some fish, it really helps you unwind."

LAURENT Decol, the world-renowned French mime artist, put on a spectacular mime show last night for his audience at the the Japan-Pacific ICT Centre in USP.
The Don't Breathe a Word show was divided into nine acts.
Mr Decol said the various acts had a significant meaning behind them which conveyed the adversity of life.
He said the seed act was meant to be absurd because you had to harvest something grown and replanted.
Likewise the mask act which expressed the value of uniqueness, as imitating someone will only result in losing one's self.
According to him, the biggest challenge of being a mime is a loud crowd who may not be enjoying the show.
However he commended the crowd present at the ICT Centre for its support and was certain the show was enjoyed.

I am profoundly ambivalent about this new Peanuts movie, which, judging by the below teaser, is a thing that apparently exists:
On one hand I've read a whole lot of Peanuts, and watched a whole lot of Peanuts specials, because I am human who grew up in the '80s; naturally, there's a fair amount of affection for those characters built into my consciousness, except for that goddamn Lucy, who's a fucking monster.
On the other hand, the idea of Blue Sky Studios, a CG kids flick factory that makes huge amounts of money by making remarkably forgettable kids movies (so far they've cranked out Robots, Horton Hears a Who!, Rio, Epic, and four Ice Ages, with a fifth on the way), seems... well, okay, fine. It was inevitable someone would do this at some point; it was just as inevitable that when they did, the charm of Charles Schulz's scratchy, wobbly, doodly style would be smoothed out with sterile, plasticine CG. And a 2001 reference, because nothing gets today's kids excited like a 2001 reference!
Anyway, let us decide, Blogtown: Based purely on this slight nothing of a teaser, shall we CONDEMN or ALLOW this new Peanuts movie? Please remember that all Blogtown votes are permanent and legally binding.

Fans Nationwide to Determine Top Three Ideas That Move on to Semi-Finalist Round
PLANO, TX (November 30, 2009) — Doritos tortilla chips – the bold, intense snack brand within PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division – today announced that eight quarter-finalists have been selected from more than 1,500 unique game ideas submitted to the Doritos "Unlock Xbox" program. With a higher-stakes Unlock Xbox challenge this year, consumer votes will now determine the top three semi-finalists that will revisit Microsoft for one last pitch, where two finalists will be selected. Fans can vote for their favorite gaming concepts beginning now until December 31, 2009 at www.unlockxbox.com.
"As we continue to put our fans in control of the Doritos brand, they continue to step up to our challenges and meet them with unwavering enthusiasm and creativity," said Rudy Wilson, vice president, marketing, Doritos. "Many Doritos lovers are very passionate about gaming, and were excited to give them this unmatched level of engagement and ownership of Xbox LIVE Arcade."
"This campaign represents a true value exchange," said Mark Kroese, general manager of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Advertising Business Group. "The Xbox LIVE and Doritos communities get to become game developers and Doritos gets to engage with their core consumers when they are receptive to their messaging – while they are having fun."
The Doritos "Unlock Xbox" contest challenged gaming fans to submit original Xbox LIVE Arcade game concepts that embodied the bold and intense Doritos experience in a unique way.

TV or Movie "Development" and "Marketing" Fraud
Do you have an idea for a new television show or movie? Beware of a company claiming it can help "develop" or market your concept or script for sale or license to the TV networks or movie studios.
Sniff-Out Fraud
Any company demanding money upfront or implying it has certain ties to the TV networks or movie studios could be a fraud. You may get scammed out of money without gaining in return any chance of actual success.
What "Red flags" Should You Look For?
First of all, we look at whether a company has asked for a significant amount of money (over $400) to review your concept. A reputable literary or television agent will often earn his or her fee primarily from negotiating deals with studios or networks, not reviewing ideas submitted by amateurs. It is always a red flag when the company claiming a "connection" with studios and promoting new shows makes a slick demand for money upfront.
Secondly, Look at the Promises Made.
Any credible literary agent will tell you how difficult it is to succeed in the TV industry, and perhaps even discourage you from trying to pitch your idea to a studio or publisher, unless your idea speaks for itself apart from any "development" or "marketing."
True "insiders" know that no one person knows how to "develop" a TV concept better than anyone else, except, of course, a company that actually produces TV shows or movies and has had a string of successes. Otherwise, the company promising to "develop" your idea would develop its own ideas (and be successful) without you.
Hence, we are leery of any company claiming it can "develop" the idea of an aspiring concept builder for a new television show or movie. There is a difference between agents (those who pitch ideas and negotiated deals for a living) and creative people. Chances are, any faceless company claiming it can both "develop" and "market" your idea is a scam.
Where There's Smoke, There's Fire.
The scammer may be a total fraud and never intend to provide the "services" it offers, such as gathering data, making a trademark inquiry, or creating a portfolio concerning your idea. These may be scam services offered just to make you think that the scammer is "earning" its fee.
Next, Review the Contract You Were Asked to Sign.
A company that plans to scam you will be careful to craft its "agreement" with you to give the scammer an "out" (or a defense to suit) based on the express language of the contract it drafted. Hence, you must look very closely at the language of your contract and ask why particular language exists. This is where a good lawyer comes in handy.
For example, you might see language in the agreement, saying that this contract is for a "commercial purpose" only. Why is that there? It's simple: the scammer is trying to get around consumer protection laws, which protect consumers and amateur inventors and story creators from fraud and deceptive conduct. The scammer may know there is virtually no chance of commercial success from the "services" it plans to offer (and hence this is really a scam on consumer), but the contract refers to the services as "commercial."
Scare Tactics. Your agreement may have language describing the agreement as a "trade secret" to scare you from sharing it with a lawyer, but you are always free to obtain legal advice and review any contract, before or after you signed it.
Fraud is Illegal. If the scammer company has engaged in fraud, nothing in the contract may be enforced against you, if, for example, the scammer planned to deceive you all along and knew in advance that there was zero chance of you getting value from it services. The scammer may know in advance that you have zero chance of getting a licensor or licensee agreement via the scammer's services, or know that the "pitch" services offered by the scammer will have zero value.
Idea Evaluation–Not! The fraudulent company may also insert language into the contract to say that the scammer has "not evaluated" your concept. Wait. Why would that language be there? Isn't the whole point of paying a company to "develop" or "refine" one's idea to enhance the commercial potential?
Just think about it: how could the "idea developer" develop the idea without first evaluating it? It makes no sense. That goes against the whole purpose of the agreement. If you see this language in your contract, it's a huge red flag. It means that the scammers (1) may expect to be sued, and (2) is free to say in response to the suit, those people who paid us were IDIOTS! We never "promised" to "evaluate" any idea for commercial success. Look at our fine print!
We scrutinize any agreement by a purported idea development company that operates as an individual, corporation or LLC.
What Are Your Rights?
You may be entitled to the return or refund of your money, plus an award for punitive or treble (triple) damages plus attorney fees. You should have an attorney review this matter. Consider fighting to get you money back for the exploitation of your show concept, at the very least.

The Cowboys have not yet ruled middle linebacker Sean Lee out of Sunday's game against the Eagles. But he has yet to be cleared by the doctors and is expected to be sidelined for a third straight game with a neck injury.
If Lee doesn't play, it will mark the second straight season he was sidelined for an all important win-or-go-home game for the NFC East title and the playoffs.
"It's disappointing," Lee said. "I haven't been our there when it matters most. I have tried to work hard to stay on the field. You want to be there when it counts. It's been disappointing…my health two years in a row."
If Lee can't go rookie sixth-round pick DeVonte Holloman will start in the middle for the second straight week. It will also be the second time in his life he has ever started a game a middle linebacker dating back to high school. Holloman had six tackles against the Redskins last Sunday.
"He did a good job," coach Jason Garrett said of Holloman. "Again, he's a young player and hasn't played a lot of mike linebacker in his life, has played about a game and a half of it. He's one of those guys who seems to respond well to any opportunity we give him. He's made a lot of plays on the ball that have made a difference for us, starting in the preseason and over the course of the season. Again, this was an opportunity for him. He seemed to grow as the game went on in a positive way, and he'll learn from these experiences."

Five Percent Pay Cut OK'd for Governor and Lawmakers
The California Citizens Compensation Commission approved a 5 percent pay cut on May 31 for lawmakers and statewide office holders.
On a 5 to 1 vote, the seven-member commission reduced legislative pay from $95,290 to $90,525.
California legislators would remain the highest paid in the nation.
At $82,026, Pennsylvania lawmakers are the second highest paid. New York is third at $79,500.
"We understand times are still tough and California needs difficult cuts and new revenues to solve the remaining budget deficit," said Assembly Speaker John Perez, a Los Angeles Democrat.
"Since the Legislature has already taken an 18 percent pay cut, which is still in place while furloughs for state workers have ended, we believe the commission's cut is punitive and ignores the size and complexity of the job and the facts regarding comparable legislative bodies. We also would hate to see a system where only the personally wealthy can afford to serve."
California lawmakers, receive no pensions, but are paid per diem of more than $30,000 annually to cover their living expenses. Those who live more than 50 miles from the Capitol pay no taxes on their per diem.
The salary cut will take effect Dec. 3 when the new session of the Legislature begins.
Last year, the commission ordered lawmakers to turn in their taxpayer-funded cars and gas cards. They now receive a monthly $300 transportation allowance.
The commission's 18 percent cut referenced by Perez occurred in 2009.
Statewide office holders have varied salaries, the governor being the highest paid at nearly $174,000.
The commission's action lowers his salary to roughly $165,000.
Voters created the commission to set legislative and statewide officeholder pay in 1990 when they approved Proposition 112.

"You're a strong believer in showing people the way. In fact, you've converted most of your family to members of the Pittsburgh Panthers faithful. You also believe that the Atlantic Coast Conference is where all of the real collegiate competition comes from. Celebrate the ACC and Pitt when you wear this ACC Arch T-shirt, featuring "Pittsburgh Panthers" arched lettering over a team wordmark and a conference logo. You know that the ACC is truly the best conference of them all, but you want everyone else to be able to see it too!"
And yes, I know it is simply that the Big East shop is mostly run by a third party on their site who gives the Big East a cut. Still, given the chaos of expansiopocolypse, they may want to curate at least a little.
THAT ACC LOGO LOOKS SO NICE THERE. IM BEING SARCASTIC. But this is great!
oh,sorry… our color isn't navy blue… it's "blue night"… and it's not gold… its "silly Putty" (yeah, seriously…).
but it's still the same freak'n blue as everyone else.
And some sadness of what could have been, had the BE simply woken up and fired village idiot John Marinatto about 5 years sooner.
Guess they never heard of a garage sale.
My name for the Catholic league is Big Heaven!
Let the others keep Big East.
Funny thing, they haven't folded, as a whole slew of new inmates are about to board this sinking ship.
Some can't wait, like East Carolina for instance.
You know the sad thing? I argued with Bob Smizik on his blog for years that this exact thing would end up happening unless the Big East found somebody, anybody, to expand its football brand, and on a bonafide emergency basis. His standard response was to basically call me an idiot, because there were no worthy teams. To which I'd tell him they'd BECOME AQ worthy after a few years of pumping in BCS money (like UConn did).
But of course they waited too long: the league pee'd away its AQ status (strangled the goose that laid golden eggs), which in turn caused more teams to flee (or change their minds & not come at all: TCU, Boise, SDSU….).
Point being, if I could see all this coming years ahead of time, then why couldn't Procrastinators Extraordinaire, Inc. (John Marinatto & Co.)? Rhetorical…
Over 700 items. Pretty much every imaginable item you ever wanted with PITT or Pittsburgh on it, for men, women, boys & girls and infants.
Here's something for your Valentine. lol
Those are colors, similar to the universitys colors, that look good with a diploma or a photograph.
i.e. Clemson, see the orange, it's a pale orange, not Clemson's real color of orange, but it would look much nicer hanging on the wall.
Most of the colors are toned down if you notice.
Good link though.
Now, it is "Vegas Gold" and "Navy".
The 80's and 90's was "Royal Blue" and I don't know the offical name, most refer to it as "Mustard Gold".
The Royal and Mustard are the ones that really stood out as "PITT", and most of the country, at least sports fans, would recognize those as screaming "PITT". IMHO.
Smizik does not understand the college landscape in the least, so arguing with him was like arguing with a rock, except that the rock has more intelligence.
As for others in real positions of authority, such as Donut Man Marianatto, I think they suffered from a serious case of "Yes" men. Anyone who has ever worked with R Catholic priests will tell you (and I have)that they do not take kindly to being told they are wrong: which, they often are. Donut man probably had to walk a fine line and did not possess the necessary balls to call it like it was.
It seems as if they are going back to their original idea of basketball only in large metro markets. That is probably where it should have stayed.

If you have ever been to Orlando in the summer you know it can be extremely hot and steamy. Nestled in Adventureland, within the Magic Kingdom, is a bit of golden magic: a heavenly mixture of ice cream and fruit juice that is sure to cool you off, even on the warmest Florida days.
The Dole Whip is a golden pineapple soft serve ice cream that is fruity, juicy, and most importantly, cold. I had been to Walt Disney World several times before ever discovering this wonderful treat. I had heard of them and was always told to try them, but we were always either too busy or unable to locate them. That is until our second trip as a family when I made it my mission to locate and enjoy the wonderful Disney treat.
I'm not trying to be over the top but this is seriously delicious! Aloha Isle is located in Adventureland within the Magic Kingdom and is one of only two places in all of Disney World where you can purchase a Dole Whip. If you walk away from the Magic Carpets towards the castle it will be located on your left. You will find it has a small walk-up window with an insanely long line. Yes, it will be a lengthy line, in the morning, afternoon, evening, and even at midnight; however trust us, it is well worth the wait. Some days the line goes faster than others, but be patient, I promise, if you enjoy pineapple you will love this.
The famous Dole Whip is a pineapple flavored creamy soft-serve concoction made from Dole itself. The only other place, I'm told, to get this yummy treat at the moment is at the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. We always get the Dole Whip Float; this is the pineapple Dole Whip covered with fresh pineapple juice. It seems like a lot of pineapple, but if you adore the sweet, yellow fruit you will thoroughly enjoy this.
Also on the menu is an orange flavored soft-serve; we have tried this with the pineapple juice over the top as well, it was very good, but not as good as the original. You may also just get a cup of the pineapple or the orange soft-serve without the pineapple juice or, if you prefer, Root Beer and Coke Floats are also offered at this location.
Dole Whips are considered a snack on Disney's Dining Plan and good for any time of day. If you are not participating in the Dining Plan, a Dole Whip Float (also known as Pineapple Float) will cost you $4.99. The soft drink floats are $4.49. A cup of the soft serve treats come in at $3.79.
There is also assorted soft drinks and other beverages, juice, hot beverages, and they have chips and freshly cut pineapple spears.
While enjoying your magical Disney vacation this summer try Aloha Isle and a Dole Whip Float to cool off. You will not be sorry.

Some random notes from UK's win over Vanderbilt.
* Kentucky played a much better game offensively. The Cats shot 51.8 percent, their highest percentage since shooting 61.4 percent against South Carolina at Rupp Arena on February 5. That was the game, remember, where USC coach Frank Martin basically quit coaching and admitted it after the game. Kentucky averaged 1.194 points per possession against the Commodores, best since a 1.999 at Ole Miss. Vandy averaged 1.158 points. Not a great figure for the UK defense, but much better than the 1.360 the Cats allowed Tennessee.
* The Cats made six of eight free throws in the final 58 seconds but were just 12-of-21 from the line for the game. That's just 57.1 percent. Julius Mays was three-of-four from the line and Kyle Wiltjer was two-of-two. The rest of the team was seven-of-16 at the line.
* The Cats did a much better job on the defensive glass. After Tennessee got an amazing and embarrassing (for UK) 62.5 percent of its offensive rebound opportunities on Saturday, Vanderbilt managed just 26.5 percent. That was a big difference for the Cats. Archie Goodwin was a big key. The guard claimed six rebounds, including three on the offensive end.
* Rod Odom made his first five shots, then went one-of-eight the rest f the game for the Commodores. The Vandy forward hit a string of three three-pointers from the 8:34 mark to the 6:37 mark of the first half. He had 14 points at the time. He finished with 16 and did not score the final 18:13 of the game. Vandy did make 10 of 22 three-point shots on the night.
* Kentucky had 14 assists and seven turnovers, its best assist/turnover ratio since recording 17 assists against just nine turnovers in the win at Ole Miss on January 29. Back in the starting lineup, Ryan Harrow played 32 minutes without turning the ball over. Alex Poythress played 27 minutes without turning the ball over. Jarrod Polson played 16 minutes with just one turnover. Julius Mays dished six assists, by the way.
* Willie Cauley-Stein scored a career-high 20 points. This was the same Cauley-Stein who, in the team's first game without Nerlens Noel, scored just two points and grabbed two rebounds while committing four turnovers in that loss at Tennessee. The freshman was eight-of-10 from the floor tonight and had two clutch blocked shots down the stretch on back-to-back possessions.
* John Calipari returned to the no-tie look. He deviated and wore a tie at Knoxville and you see what that got him. At one point in the second half, Calipari called a time out with such force his shirt came untucked. He didn't seem to notice, but by the end of the timeout the shirt was tucked back in.
* Willie Cauley-Stein got a technical foul not for hanging on the rim, but for slapping the backboard after making a dunk and hanging briefly on the rim. You can't slap the backboard.
* Nerlens Noel was at the game, on crutches. His mere presence, first in a live video of the team huddling in the hallway ready to come on to the floor, brought applause form the crowd. Noel then sat behind the UK bench.
* Kentucky shot 61 percent from the floor in the first half and 40 percent the second half. Vanderbilt shot 41.7 percent the first half and 46.4 the second. But the Commodores were six-of-10 from three in the first half and four-of-12 in the second.
* Despite hurting his shoulder, Vanderbilt's Kedren Johnson scored 17 points and dished seven assists. He also had four rebounds. Johnson was seven-of-eight from the foul line.
* The much-talked-about Dodgeball video can be seen here. Tip: Cal says the team will play whiffle ball on Friday. Again, John Calipari asked our very own Jerry Tipton the name of the website — for the "heart monitors" video, Cal asked Jerry who correctly said, "CoachCal.com. This time, Jerry answered, "EricLinsdey.com." Eric is the editor of CoachCal.com.
* Josh Harrellson was the Y.

Regional Extension Center (REC)
A Regional Extension Center (REC) is an organization that has received funding under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) to assist health care providers with the selection and implementation of electronic health record (EHR) technology.

Under the HITECH Act, RECs have three specific objectives:
- Provide training and support services to assist in EHR adoption.
- Offer information and guidance with EHR implementation (but not to carry out such an implementation).
- Give other technical assistance as needed.
The REC program seeks to support 100,000 primary care providers, with particular emphasis given to medical practices with fewer than 10 clinicians and clinicians who work in settings that tend to serve uninsured, underinsured, and medically underserved populations.To date, $677 million has been awarded to 62 RECs, each of which covers a distinct geographic area.
Some RECs plan to produce a list of preferred EHR vendors toward which they will steer providers who need to implement EHR technology. The objective here is twofold -- one, to help providers narrow their choices among an estimated 300 EHR vendors, and two, to allow RECs to focus their efforts and knowledge on a small number of products.

Dante Alighieri
Love And The Gentle Heart - Poem by Dante Alighieri
Love and the gentle heart are one thing,
just as the poet says in his verse,
each from the other one as well divorced
as reason from the mind's reasoning.
Nature craves love, and then creates love king,
and makes the heart a palace where he'll stay,
perhaps a shorter or a longer day,
breathing quietly, gently slumbering.
Then beauty in a virtuous woman's face
makes the eyes yearn, and strikes the heart,
so that the eyes' desire's reborn again,
and often, rooting there with longing, stays,
Till love, at last, out of its dreaming starts.
Woman's moved likewise by a virtuous man.
Comments about Love And The Gentle Heart by Dante Alighieri
John McPartlan (6/10/2004 9:32:00 PM)
Dante's depiction of love as slumbering is something we can all associate with. The searing thrill of love often burns like a fire and settles into a warm glow, slumbering, happily. True, desire can be rekindled by a beautiful face. That is something we can easily associate with. But it is often in the sudden realisation that the face of your loved one has been obscured to you by the hurly burly of life. A flame flickers and the firelight casts her in a light you have not seen for years. And passion rekindles the fire of love. (Report) Reply

Thread: damnit..broke a toe.
5/14/2004 3:36am, #1
damnit..broke a toe.
broke my right pinky toe last week. either broke it or dislocated it...i think it's the latter. but anyways. any advice on how to deal with this? let it heal? tape it up daily? or only in training?
the funny thing was it doesnt hurt when i walk and i just realized today that it's dislocated cause it's bent funny. lol.
5/14/2004 3:43am, #2
I have had that for the past three months. Sucks cause it keeps breaking, but . . . MUST TRAIN . . .
Next week I will have a vacation in Paris, so that will be a nice chance to let it heal . . .

How about seeing a doctor?
Rudy Reyes > Bear Grylls

talked to a doctor at my gym, he said there's not much point in getting an x-ray cause it's for sure dislocated or broken. so just let it heal. bleh. and yea...MUST KEEP TRAINING.Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

Then tape it, pansy.

Isn't it normal to make sure the bone is set correctly any more? For that you probably need a doctor.
Similarly with dislocations, you sure it's back in it's proper place? Again, a doctor is the best to advise you.
Is that doc you spoke of an actual qualified doctor, or just someone at the club who has a 1st aid cert?

The doc at the gym was right, they don't x-ray toes. but you do need a doc to look at it to make sure it is straight before tapping it. You don't want the thing to heal wrong and have to have it broken again.
5/14/2004 3:05pm, #8
allright, thanks guys. i'll go see a doc. just didn't want to spend money on xrays. so i should tape it daily? even outside training? doesnt hurt or anything.Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

i would recommend holding off on taping it up till you see that doctor. you wouldn't wanna tape it and force it to align if it's out of it's socket, or whatever holds the toe in place...you could just be bending it or further pulling it out of its norm by doing that.
5/14/2004 3:40pm, #10
This happened to me (again) several months back. It's probably dislocated and not broken. You should see a doctor to make sure it's set straight. I didn't see a doc for a couple weeks and by then it was very much set. It was OK, but not perfect. You'll probably get the X-Ray and they'll splint it if it is not straight for a week or so. Then you'll have to buddy tape it to your other toe. Start wearing shoes in class if you're allowed. Whenever I dislocate toes it's because I'm not wearing shoes.

Best remembered for Nathan Lane's voice in the starring role and the distinct animation design by famed illustrator [[http://www.garybaseman.com/ Gary Baseman]] of ''Cranium'' fame.The story follows a nerdy nine year old boy named Leonard Helperman and his pet dog Spot. Spot is so interested in Leonard's life as a human that one day he follows him to school, puts on human clothes, and joins his class under the name Scott Leadready II. His disguise amazingly fools everybody, but Leonard eventually discovers the truth. While initially shocked by this, he reluctantly allows Scott to continue the charade. Scott comes up with amazing plans that sometimes inadvertently get Leonard punished, blamed, and/or beat up. Other characters include Mrs. Helperman (who is not only Leonard's mother, but his teacher as well), Mr. Jolly (the Helpermans' sensitive cat), Pretty Boy (the Helpermans' abrasive bird), and Leonard's various classmates (such as Leslie, his love interest, and Ian, the resident gross kid).In {{the movie}}, when Spot finds out that a mad scientist can turn animals into humans, he sees this as a chance to become a real boy. Joined by Leonard, Mr. Jolly, Pretty Boy, and Ian, they are off to see him. Spot becomes a man (he forgot about dog years), but its not what he thought after all. Other major events are included in the movie including, Spot ending his identity as Scott for a while, Ian finding out about Scott being a dog, and Jolly losing his fear of the outside. Not to be confused with HotForStudent.----!!This show and film provides examples of:* AcademicAlphaBitch: Younghee as seen in You Can't Bite City Hall and some other episodes. ** To a lesser extent, the show as well. Critics loved it, but it eventually kept getting ScrewedByTheNetwork and only lasted two seasons.* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Spot gives vibes of this at times in this Scott persona. Also Leonard. * {{Adorkable}}: Leonard* AffectionateParody: The movie is from Disney (albeit not part of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon due to being produced by Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation), and wastes no time in parodying the studio's most beloved early works.* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Along with...* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Spot is blue, Tallulah is pink, etc.* AnimationBump: In the Creator/ToonCity episodes. TheMovie also has even better animation than the show.* AnthropomorphicZigZag: Spot's entire schtick. He would act like a dog at home, but would dress like a kid and go to school like a human.* ArtEvolution: The artwork became sharper and the colors became more vibrant mid-season one.* AssumedWin: Ian, surprising Leonard and Scott.* BalloonBelly: Both Leonard and Spot in "Never Take Candy From a Kindergartener"** Leslie in "Movin' On Pup"** Also happens to Spot/Scott again in "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Green" and "To Bee or Not to Bee"* BaseballEpisode: "Take Me Out of the Ball Game"* BerserkButton: Leonard really hates being called "tubby" and goes psycho when he's called that and attacks the person who called him that. ** Do NOT call Ivan Krank "Daddy." Don't call him a "Wacko" either.* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mary Lou may act all TastesLikeDiabetes most of the time, but even she has limits to how nice she can be. Sometimes she'll shift into a StepfordSmiler before she finally has enough, though she doesn't necessarily go berserk.* BigDamnMovie: [[CaptainObvious the movie]]* BigNo: Leonard reacts this way when he finds out Scott is actually his dog in the first episode.* BirthdayEpisode: "Party Animals", where Leonard turns ten.* BodyWipe: about twice Jolly and Pretty Boy's petsitter Ms. Boogin* ButtMonkey: Leonard is often, but not always, this.* CampStraight: Mr. Jolly* CatsAreMean: Mr. Jolly completely averts this, but Talulah plays this as straight as possible.* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The nickel that Scott receives in exchange for Krank's use of him as a test subject in the movie.]]* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Leonard Helperman and Leslie Dunking* ChristmasEpisode: Two, actually. "A Dog for All Seasons" from season one, and "The Blight Before Christmas" from season two (Which, oddly, didn't air anywhere near Christmas).* ClarkKenting: Spot/Scott. This is lampshaded by the creator for a special feature on the movie's DVD.* CloseOnTitle: TheMovie does this.* CrackDefeat: In the first episode, both Leonard and Scott lose the class election to Ian, the gross kid.* CuteLittleFangs: Jolly has these.* DarkerAndEdgier: The movie crosses into this territory at times. It's not as dark and edgy as other examples, but it can be at times compared to the TV series.* DemotedToExtra: All of Leonard and Scott's classmates in the move except Ian, who turns out to be [[spoiler: Dr. Krank's nephew.]]* DerangedAnimation: Oh hell yes.* DisappearedDad: Leonard's dad. His disappearance is never brought up in the series, leaving fans to question if he died or got divorced from Leonard's mom before the events of the series.* DisneyAcidSequence: Several, but one particular one in the movie stands out thanks to the LampshadeHanging that immediately follows it.--> ''*song ends, Leonard and Mrs. Helperman are stripped down to their undergarments and left standing in the middle of a parking lot*''-->'''Mrs. Helperman:''' Well, that was strange.* DisneyDeath: Happens to Spot in TheMovie.* DubNameChange: In the Swedish dub, Spott's name is changed to "Pax" (While his aliases, "Scott", becomes "Max"), and Jolly's name is changed to "Figaro".* EndingFatigue: Parodied/Lampshaded in one of the closing songs in the movie. --> ''A friend needs a friend...'' (With the characters walking in the rain under an umbrella)\\''A road needs a bend...'' (With a car driving down a bendy road)\\''A film needs an end!'' (With the characters sitting over animation tables, ready to pass out.)* ExtremeOmnivore: Ian* EyePop: Frequently* FatBestFriend: Mr. Jolly is this to Pretty Boy (Of the unsorted variety)** Leonard is type B to Scott* FatCat: Mr. Jolly* FunWithAcronyms: The Movie has ''two'' different things with the same acronym N.E.A.T.O. The first is when Principal Strickler announces that Ms. Helperman has won the NEATO (National Excellent American Teacher's Organization) award, that sets off the plot of the movie. Dr. Ivan Krank's animal transformation machine is also has the ''very same acronym'', but it stands for ''something else entirely''.-->'''Dr. Ivan Krank''': Let the Neuro Exchange Animal Transformation Operation, or NEATO for short--[[LampshadeHanging not to be confused with that stupid teacher award]]--begin!* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "Th]e Grass Seed is Always Greener", Pretty Boy comes down with Pre-Migrational Syndrome. The initials? '''PMS'''.** In "Never Take Candy From a Kindergartener", Emma develops crushes on whichever boys [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything can build the highest block tower]].** In the movie, when Mary Lou invites Manly Manning in for "coffee." [[spoiler:It turns out she really did mean coffee.]]** In "Taint Valentine's Day", when the girls ask why Scott wrote all the valentines for Leonard so he would feel better about himself, Scott notes it's because he loves him. He then explains how close they are as friends (And also since Leonard is his master), [[HoYay but it almost sounded like something else]].* GlamorousSingleMother: Subverted with Mary Lou- the single mom aspect isn't really touched upon.* GrandFinale: The movie, although it was originally going to end on a less final note with [[spoiler:Spot giving up trying to literally transform into a human, but still maintaining his "Scott" identity. The finished movie gives no indication that he'll do anything other than be a regular dog]].* GrossOutShow: At least given the character of Ian.* GuessWhoImMarrying: In the movie, Spot's plan to stay with Leonard as a human man is to marry Mary Lou. Leonard is not happy with this idea.* HalloweenEpisode: Two of them. "Costume Pity Party" from season one and "The Tale of the Tell-Tale Taffy" from season two.* HeterosexualLifePartners: Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly.* IJustWantToBeNormal: Both Leonard and Scott* IntellectualAnimal: Scott/Spot obviously. * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pretty Boy. Younghee as well.* JokerJury: One episode Leonard Helperman imagine himself being put on trial in front of a judge and jury who all for some reason resemble [[ThePigPen Ian Waszlewzki, the class slob.]]* LamarckWasRight: One episode has Leonard and Scott looking after some chicken eggs. When they have to leave, Mr. Jolly decides to warm the eggs like a hen. At the end of the episode, the eggs hatch, and while most of the chicks chirp like normal chicks, one of them meows.* LargeHam: Spot/Scott and Mr. Jolly* LastOfHisKind: Averted. At of the time of its production, the Movie was considered the last traditionally hand drawn non-digital animated movie.* LineOfSightName: Scott sees a Leadready Number Two Pencil to create his last name.* LovableAlphaBitch: Leslie's best friend, Younghee Mandlebom. She's usually mean to Leonard but cares for him lots of times. She doesn't want him to get hurt, killed, or for him to die. * LovableCoward: Mr. Jolly* MassiveMultiplayerEnsembleNumber: "I'm Moving On" from the movie.* MoneySong: "Take the Money and Run" from the movie.* MoodWhiplash: The movie can go from funny to heartwarming and then to tear jerking at the drop of a hat.* TheMovie: Surprising for a show that lasted only 39 episodes.** It was also the third and final one based on a Creator/OneSaturdayMorning show (the other two being ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'s 1st Movie'' and ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'').* MysteryMeat: In the comic, Leonard (his owner), in a hurry, accidentally feeds Spot a can of corned beef hash instead of his regular dogfood. Later, dressed as "Scott" in the School cafeteria, Spot finds out the mystery meat tastes just like his dogfood and concludes that the school is putting dogfood in their recipes, which starts a school riot. During a talk-in with Principal Strickler, the principal demands to know whether Spot has actually eaten dog food before. Fearing this could blow his cover, Spot agrees with Strickler to eat a large plate of their mystery meat and confirm to the students it's dogfood free. Much to the Principal and lunchlady's surprise, Spot ends up enjoying the experience (he's a dog after all). Overall, most of the cafeteria's recipes are made of turkey. * NiceHat: Scott's Beanie.* NumberOfTheBeast: In the movie, Spot and Leonard search for Dr. Ivan Krank and his address is ''666 Acko Way''.** PigLatin as well.* OnlyInFlorida: From The Movie, Dr. Ivan Krank lives in Florida ("Where the coo-coo nuts grow", as [[TalkShow Barry Anger]] puts it.)* ThePigpen: Ian Wazselewski; the other kids don't call him "Eew-an" for nothing.* PrecociousCrush: In one episode, a kindergartener gets one of these first for Leonard and later (due to her rather short attention span) for Scott.* PrimeTimeCartoon: Post ChannelHop.* RogerRabbitEffect: Spot/Scott appeared in the 2000 opening for Creator/OneSaturdayMorning, interacting with live action kids in a live action park ([[{{Crossover}} Along with the cast]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', and in 2001, ''WesternAnimation/LloydInSpace'').* SapientPet: Spot* SaturdayMorningCartoon: Initially during its time on ABC.* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Leonard (Sensitive Guy) and Spot/Scott (Manly Man). Also, there's Mr. Jolly (Sensitive Guy) and Pretty Boy (Manly Man).* ShortRunner: Unfortunately, as it was a clever show and many critics loved it. It was only cancelled due to Disney [[{{Retool}} retooling]] Creator/OneSaturdayMorning into ABC Kids.* ShoutOut: The Movie features lots of references to other Disney films, specifically ''{{Disney/Pinocchio}}''.** A board game called "Cranium: Disney Edition", on the other hand is actually a Shout Out to this show, as the original version prominently featured characters drawn by Gary Baseman.* SlumberParty: Ian invites Scott and Leonard to one. Also, Leonard and Scott infiltrated Leslie's slumber party to get knowledge of what girls like from boys.* SmartAnimalAverageHuman: Spot, the intelligent talking blue dog and his average owner Leonard.* SpaghettiKiss: Referenced, but not actually done in one episode.* SpoiledBrat: Chelsea, Kelsey, and Younghee.* SpoiledSweet: Leslie. Even though she is very rich and spoiled, she is really kind and friendly, she treats others nicely especially Leonard by who they are and not by their appearances or looks. She and her parents (who are very doting and wealthy) also live in a regular house, strangely. * TheScapegoat: Leonard is always blamed, punished, and/or beat up for things that are really Spot/Scott's fault. Though to be fair, Spot/Scott never does it intentionally or out of maliciousness.* ShoutOut: The part of the title sequence where Leonard briefly changes into a monster ("Why can't I be a normal boy like any other?") was a reference to the ending of the WesternAnimation/BettyBoop short ''Betty Boop, M.D.''* SueDonym: Sort of -- Spot blurts out his real name, but Mrs. Helperman mishears it as "Scott" and he decides that, yes, that sounds like a perfectly normal name for a human boy (and basically says so in as many words).* SurpriseParty: The episode "Party Animals" has one being thrown for Leonard on his tenth birthday. However, since he accidentally finds out beforehand, he has to figure out how to convincingly feign being surprised.* TeachersOutOfSchool: As the title implies, the teacher is Scott's owner and Leonard's mother, which means they see their teacher out of school all the time.* ThickLineAnimation: In some of the Creator/ToonCity episodes. * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: In the movie, [[LovableCoward Mr. Jolly]] doesn't do anything productive in the adventure until Dr. Krank is turned into a mouse.* ThoseTwoGuys: Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly** Also Chelsey and Kelsey and Dennis and Adele in TheMovie.* TransNature: A dog who wants to be a boy (Mainly in the movie). In the show, he merely just wants to go to school to learn, so he disguises himself as a boy. * ValentinesDayEpisodes: "Taint Valentine's Day"* VillainSong: "I, Ivan Krank" from TheMovie.* VocalEvolution: Leonard's voice got a little lower as the show went on, as he was voiced by a real kid (His voice actor, Shaun Fleming, was twelve when production began in 1999 and was sixteen when production on the movie was completed in 2003)* WhamEpisode: TheMovie could qualify as this for the series.* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Leslie's hair is a dark blue shade, and Emma has robin's egg blue hair.** Applies to the animals as well: Spot is primarily blue, and Talullah is mainly pink.----

NBA: Portland 86, Memphis 66
Brandon Roy's 21 points, eight rebounds and four assists Saturday led the Portland Trail Blazers' 86-66 rout of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Memphis faced a 25-16 deficit after the first period and, because of a 41.2 shooting percentage, was never able to mount a sustained comeback.A 10-2 run, capped by a LaMarcus Aldridge layup, put Portland ahead 48-34 just before halftime.
Aldridge scored 18 with seven rebounds and Greg Oden added 12 points and nine rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who have won five of seven and are 1 1/2 games behind the Northwest Division-leading Denver Nuggets.
Rookie O.J. Mayo led Memphis with 12 points and five assists. Marc Gasol scored 10 with four rebounds, but no other player reached double figures the Grizzlies, who missed all eight of their 3-point attempts and suffered the sixth loss in their last seven games.

In a flurry of activity one Sunday morning, as the baby slept on her dad's chest and daughter number one played upstairs… I finished my book. When there is a window these days it's grabbed. Being mum to a small baby makes you increadably productive in short spaces of time. Spaces that are snatched, at anytime around the clock. So in my dressing gown early in the morning, assisted by Steely Dan on Spotify… I finished my book. It took only a couple of short hours. Images were cut up & additions made to the edit, text – most of it discarded but for two quotes and the essay, cover image in the bag. The End.
I'd thought about it for so long that when I had the opportunity it all flowed. Having a break from it, long enough to have a baby, helped too.
This week the dummy is being printed & bound. Throughout Bristol, and no doubt much further afield, book dummies are being made – all in time for this weekend's Photo Book Bristol. Last year's festival was the first. No one knew what to expect from it, but this year we do.
Anticipation is high…

Former welterweight boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard suffered minor injuries when his car crashed into another that allegedly cut him off at an intersection outside the District of Columbia in Maryland Wednesday night. The auto suddenly turned in front of him at an intersection in suburban Beltsville, Md., at about 7:30 p.m., police said, and the former champ collided with that car before striking a second vehicle that was waiting for the light to change.
Leonard, who lives in Potomac, Md., with his wife and two sons, was taken to Prince George`s General Hospital and admitted overnight for observation. The former boxer, who suffered from ``minor lacerations of the face and hand`` and a blow to the chest in the accident, was listed in ``good and stable condition,`` said a hospital spokesman.

I have a raised bed comprising a mix of sieved soil and spent compost. I have grown various things in it this year: lettuce, brassicas (to plant out elsewhere) and carrots. The carrots were ok, but not great (one crop failed, others have produced just short carrots). Any ideas what I can do either now or later to improve the bed for a better carrot crop next year?
Thank you

An innovative employment program, which is helping to retain and attract Aboriginal people to the health sector in Western Australia (WA), took out a major prize at last night's 2011 WA Health Awards.
The awards, now in their sixth year, recognise individuals and organisations who have demonstrated best practice in WA's health system.
The Indigenous employment program, run by the WA Country Health Service (WACHS), took out the Director General's Award for its role in helping Aboriginal people gain employment in the health sector in the Pilbara region of north-western Australia.
In the past 12 months, more than 30 people have been employed under the program, and the program's scholarship component has supported local Aboriginal people to undertake further studies.

For our New Year's Resolution, the EPL Talk Podcast crew have decided to bring you a new weekly feature, the EPL Talk Podcast Discussion. We want to get you all involved in the debate so each week we will bring you an article designed to get you talking. So as our dear leader Mr McKenna might say, lets EPL Talk about it…
For those of you who listen regularly to the EPL Talk Podcast, you will know that youth soccer and more specifically the state of it in Britain is one of our favourite subjects. Few topics are likely to arouse stronger opinions from Kristan, Morgan, Laurence and myself. Even Kartik has been known to be very forceful on the issue.
There is a reason for this. For those of us who care deeply about football as a sustainable entity, youth soccer represents the future. A club with a good youth setup can hope to produce a consistent stream of young talent at a fraction of the cost of buying in a whole new squad every few years. The same principle can also be extended to national soccer – just take a look at Spain and Germany.
But, as has been made all too clear in recent times, there are clubs that clearly do not believe in the sustainable model, or at least they have little confidence in it. In the EPL, Chelsea spring to mind but the truth is there are very few clubs in the Premier League that have a notable reliance on their own youth system.
As with most debates, the truth in the money versus youth issue likely lies somewhere in between the two extremes. There is always going to be a place in the modern football world for splashing the cash but at the same time as we head towards a new era of (supposed) financial fair play, surely the clubs must start to look to balance the books so to speak and bring through a few players of their own?
Take Chelsea for example. Since the Abramovich takeover, we are all aware of how much they have spent on big name players but what is often lost is the fact that they have also spent a lot of time and money bringing in a huge amount of young players. For me, this is not the answer.
Home grown youth serves two purposes. On a purely footballing level it helps you to produce players who are ingrained with the culture of the club, Barcelona and La Masia being undoubtedly the best example of this.
At this point I can almost hear Morgan screaming at me that I am missing out the very important fact that football in England is a crowded market. With so many huge clubs all packed together the chance of attracting enough local talent is a lot lower than Catalonia for example where there are only four teams playing in the top two Spanish divisions.
On a club level this is very true but looking at a national level there is not enough being done throughout the Premier League to promote youth development. Yes the introduction the Under-21 Development league this year is a step forward but much more is still needed.
Secondly, and I realise the fairly existential nature of this point but please indulge me, it helps to maintain the bond between club and local community. At clubs up and down the land, fans love the sight of a young lad from the local area pulling on the shirt of his boyhood team. It reminds them that this is their club and that they too once dreamt of doing the same. Such a bond is something that modern football is far too easy to dismiss.
The final thing to consider is whether the fans of clubs have in some way contributed to the current situation. By wanting success as soon as yesterday, have fans failed to create an atmosphere where owners and managers feel they have the required time to create a youth focused culture. I suppose that that is a question that is almost impossible to answer.
But readers, do at least try and answer it for me below or on Twitter.

"What's the best restaurant in Buenos Aires?" I probably get asked that impossible question at least once a day, and will never be able to answer in a concrete way. It's like I'll always be on that endless quest to find the great Buenos Aires edible and drinkable spots. So when asked to create this "Hometown Guide" of the best 5 restaurants in Buenos Aires, my response was simple – not even HE almighty of the food world who possesses God-like all knowing restaurant superpowers could give you a top 5 list of the best Buenos Aires restaurants, there are just too many variables involved. In a city with an infinite amount of restaurants, bars and everything in between, there are countless hidden gems, restaurants openings, cafés closing down, cooks improving, and kitchens getting shittier one steak at a time. But all this rambling aside, and although my choices will probably change tomorrow, I can provide a list of my favorite Buenos Aires eats for a handful of food situations.
Don't just roll up to any meat den, order a random cut on the menu, and expect to be served the steak of your life. Do your carne homework, know the best cuts, and how you want each cooked (jugoso!). Classic Palermo Soho steakhouse Don Julio's entraña (skirt steak) makes dreams come true as does their bife ancho (prime rib) with a goat cheese provoleta (grilled cheese) on the side and a beautiful bottle Lagarde's Henry Gran Guarda No 1 a blend. Now that's a perfect dinner in YO mouth. (Photo by Don Julio)
For years Congreso's Parrilla Peña has been my top pick for a no frills parrilla, going with friends or out of town guests for a casual meat-ing (get it?) in a very local setting. Get your cheap bottle of Malbec comfortable on the table before ordering a bife de lomo (tenderloin), chorizo sausage, and French fries.

Rodriguez Peña 682, Congreso/Recoleta
2. Casual Contemporary Argentine
A few years ago it wasn't common to find a restaurant that served modern Argentine food. But in the lack of variety sea of Buenos Aires dining, Las Pizarras made for an exception using market fresh ingredients to create a seasonal menu of simple yet creative dishes — all in an informal bistro setting. The hardest part of the night is awkwardly studying the chalkboard (and whoever sits underneath) to choose what to order. (Photo by Las Pizarras)
2013 restaurant newcomer Astor follows a similar model of seasonal cooking, in a more elaborate way, combining multiple cooking techniques to make dishes that play with flavor combinations, temperatures and textures. Go with a group of 4 or more, request the round table, and order one of everything to share, or dine solo at the bar getting down with a tasting to sample the whole menu.
–>Las Pizarras
Thames 2269, Palermo Soho
Ciudad de la Paz 353, Colegiales
Buenos Aires certainly has it's own style of food, famed for several popular dishes influenced by the parrilla, along with Spanish and Italy immigrant cooking to form a strong tradition of porteño cooking. El Obrero in La Boca has been a Buenos Aires food landmark, where since 1954, the menu hasn't changed one bit (except the prices, of course). The bodegón (porteño cantina) is decorated with fútbol jerseys where regulars get down with tortilla española stuffed with big chunks of spicy chorizo, mollejas (sweetbreads), and provoleta. (Photo by El Obrero)
Peronist theme restaurant Peron Peron puts a more contemporary twist on the classics serving up dishes like ossobuco empanadas, a massive milanesa napolitana, and grilled Pacú fish. To drink? Stick with the old school aperitivos like Hesperidina or Cynar with grapefruit.
–> Bodegón El Obrero
Caffarena 64, La Boca
–> Peron Peron
Carranza 2225, Palermo Hollywood
4. Special OccasionWhen I first visited Paraje Arévalo, I wanted it to take me to a telo and impregnate me with an illegitimate food baby. It's intimate, it's romantic, it's ideal for a special occasion whether you want to get lucky with your date, ORRR get in onnn with the 6, 8 or 10 course tasting menu.
I Latina, which is technically a puerta cerrada (closed door restaurant), brings a totally new style cuisine to Buenos Aires as it puts a modern spin on Colombian cooking. Inventive Caribbean flavors are matched with a beautiful setting and top notch service.
When a 3 hour dinner, hitting almost a dozen courses, culminates in an exciting Willy Wonka smoky table lagoon with heaps of cotton candy spilling out of the bowl and onto the table, you know that you have had a special dining experience. Aramburu may be pegged as the city's premiere "molecular gastronomy" restaurant, but it ain't really about that. Instead? Flavor, creativity, and technique come first, presentation following, and that extra wow factor sprinkled into the mix. (Photo of Aramburu by Fork Up the Pork)
–>Paraje Arévalo
Arévalo 1502, Palermo Hollywood
–>I Latina
Murillo, Villa Crespo
Salta 1050, Constitución
5. Street Food
Buenos Aires does not have a strong street food culture, or really much of any street food culture, but if Argentines know how to do one thing, it's grill the shit out of a piece of street meat and smother it with acidic salsa criolla and spice-filled chimichurri accompaniment. Sure, some people may feel weary of ingesting a questionably sanitary street food that may or may have not been lying on a hot grill all afternoon, but sometimes you just have to stop thinking about "health codes" (in air quotes), and follow your nose to that sweet smoky chorizo-bondiola-vacio-fried empanada stand in the sky.
–>Feria de Mataderos (Sundays)
Av. Lisandro de la Torre y Av. de los Corrales
–>Parrilla Mi Sueño
Av. De los Italianos y Macacha Guemes
–>No Name Parrilla – San Telmo Market
Carlos Calvo 471, San Telmo
BONUS ROUND: Sometimes you need those fast food neighborhood spots ideal for everyday eating. If I had to choose ONE place I'd go for a daily meal it would be La Cresta Casa de Spiedo.

The ewer displays a pattern of very detailed embossed Maple shaped leaves and clusters of bush berries dangling or growing from a stem out of the leaves. The ewer has a very realistic handle in the form of a branch which is joined at the shoulder and rises up and then drops back to the back portion of the neck. The background of the vase resembles that of tree bark with a horizontal grain thus giving this vase that life like appearance. The background glaze is a country slate blue with wonderful deep sage greens applied to the embossed leaves and rolling down the side of the vase with brown/rust colored bush-berries dangling.
This ewer is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The ewer is signed on the bottom with the raised "Roseville U.S.A." and the mold number 2-10" which is also in raised relief. There is also the letter "U" and a few other marks written in a blue/black grease pencil on the bottom. This was more than likely was the finishers initials.This ewer is one of the hardest items to find in the Roseville Bushberry line without damage. I am proud to say there is no damage at all and it is an extremely clean piece. This Ewer was made Circa 1941.

and all premium earned during that same calendar year are compared.
Thus, regardless of individual policy periods and regardless of
when a loss is reported or is paid, accident year data 2015 will
include all premiums earned during 2015 and will include all losses
occurring in 2015. Rate-making organizations use both accident year
data and policy year data in their analyses of rate adequacy. For
example, workers compensation loss development factors (LDFs) promulgated
by the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) are developed
from accident year data.
