This shirt is very cool and dries fast! Our crew uses the "Dry Fit" shirts to dive in. Many athletes use this type of fiber because it is light weight as well.

Music scandals of 2012
Whitney Houston, Billie Joe Armstrong and Britney Spears top this year's biggest music scandals
As Twitter feuds and nip slips set the bar for celebrity scandals ever-lower, it becomes increasingly difficult to sift through the social media sound and fury to pinpoint the breathtakingly bizarre and the shockingly sad stories to plague the entertainment industry.
On the whole, 2012 seemed like a fairly tame year, with most scandals limited to petty feuds and Twitter meltdowns. However, the handful of stories that broke through cast light on a dark and disturbing side of the music business that is rarely discussed on the record.

I first connected with Del of rockpeacelove a few years back while working-from-home within the "green space" out of Sausalito. She got me really excited about their first project known as CHANGE, an eco-friendly starter kit filled with green, stylish goodies and a heck of a lot of love! How could I not have fallen in love with their concept, products, mantras and good vibrations?
And it seems as though the starter kit for CHANGE was just the beginning for rockpeacelove. They've since added a few more projects including a rockpeaceloveBABY line showcasing more fantastic organic/recycled products, this time for our beloved baby angels!
Not only can you buy their rockin' goods online, you can pick them up at select stores in LA, NYC, and elsewhere. Btw, I was happy to see a long list of celebrity angels supporting these projects including Amy Smart, Courtney Cox, Cheryll Crow, Tyra, and even cool dudes like Mill Mahr, Justin Timberlake, Jeremy Piven and more!

Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak is calming any fears about safety on the Las Vegas Strip after Thursday's shooting and fatal crash.
"It's not something that obviously happens on a regular basis in Las Vegas," said Sisolak. "It's an unfortunate situation but it clearly is not reflective of what goes on on Las Vegas Boulevard."
But this isn't the first Strip violence to happen this month.
On Saturday two people were arrested at Mandalay Bay after a man was stabbed inside an elevator at "THE hotel".
Earlier this month three people were injured when shots were fired in the parking garage by the Showcase Movie Theaters.
"Unfortunately there was a couple that happened relatively in close proximity to each other that obviously gets everyone's attention," Sisolak said.
And it's that attention that UNLV Center for Gaming Research Director David Schwartz said could scare away tourists.
"Definitely not good news anytime you have any kind of fatality around the tourist area," Schwartz told FOX5.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is also trying to restore confidence in tourists' safety, by releasing this statement:
"Recent incidents, while unfortunate, were isolated events. Las Vegas is among the safest travel destinations in the world and utilizes the most advanced technology and training to maintain a secure environment."
Still Schwartz admits any publicity is good publicity.
"It's hard to say whether they hurt the city or even in a perverse way help the city, but it does get people talking about Las Vegas," Schwartz said.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
It has been about 8 years since I last drew something, I guess the fact that it took me about 20 minutes to get this as correct as I can is evident.
What do you guys think?
It's just a sketch for now. Honestly my level can not get any better than that really. I'm going to return to art now that im in college and thought I'd see where I am.
I know it just appears as something most of you guys could do in 5 seconds but that's the best I can do atm and probably the best human figure I've ever done.
I was "inspired" by The Terminator although I am proud because I did not look at any images or videos while doing this figure!!
Ok so now I'm open to what you guys think. I know there are some flaws like his arm muscles are not equal and I am horrible at drawn the human head...

Hey, well you know I think you sholud start in the sketchbook forum first. There you might have a chance to get a comment after some time posting. Theese forms are, in my opinion focused at more advenced work. Dont take it as an offence, its just an advice. Back to your drawing, I guess you should try to do more sketches of the figure, with better reff picture (Its hard to see shapes on this one). Take a look at posemaniacs.com and try some of that. Send me a note after you poste something . Looking forward to see more. Bye
My sketchbook
Oh sorry I was thinking the other way, I figured this was more concept since most of those sketch book work was awesome and mines wasn't lol. Do i make another thread there or will the mods move this one? ..I'm not sure if this really deserves another thread.
As a fellow N00b I can tell you that this forum with such a high concentration of art especially amazing art means when you have a sketchbook with stuff that isn't amazing you won't get many or in my case any comments. I think I got one actually.
But you have put pen to paper and that is the first step. I recommend the tutorial forum..
That is the place to browse and find ways to improve.
Not something to be proud of Besides, pride should not even be in the picture at this point. You NEED references. They will help you get better.Originally Posted by Caprica12I am proud because I did not look at any images or videos while doing this figure!!

Box Score: Click Here
Manchester, NH – The Pirates rallied in the third period to tie the game but Linden Vey's goal with 1.8 seconds left in overtime gave the Manchester Monarchs a 3-2 win over the Pirates. The win gives the Monarchs a 4-2 advantage in the VIP Cup Series, presented by VIP Tires & Service. For more information on the VIP Cup, visit www.vip-cup.com.
On LA Kings night in Manchester, and with the Monarchs wearing the infamous 1996 LA Kings 3rd jerseys, Manchester would open the scoring. Sean Backman took a feed from Jordan Weal and put it past Pirates starter Louis Domingue at 8:09 of the first to give the Monarchs a 1-0 lead. Domingue stood strong for the rest of the first, stopping 14 of the 15 shots he saw, but the Pirates could not capitalize on their 4 shots on Jean-Francois Berube and trailed after 1.
Manchester extended their lead in the second. Tanner Pearson beats Domingue low and to the stick side with 8:37 left in the period, putting the Pirates at a 2 goal deficit. Andy Andreoff and Linden Vey had the assists on Pearson's 14th goal of the year. Manchester continued to pressure Domingue, but the first year goaltender stayed strong, stopping 13 of 14 shots in the period. The Pirates were able to apply more pressure to Berube in the second, sending 11 shots on net, but were unable to break through.
The Pirates finally broke through in the third period, scoring twice in a 2:13 span. Andy Miele struck first, beating Berube for his team leading 17th goal of the year at 9:22 of the third. Corey Trivino and Brandon Gormley added assists. After a penalty on Manchester's captain Andrew Campbell, Ethan Werek capitalized, putting the puck past Berube for the game tying power play goal. Werek's third of the year was assisted by Mathieu Brisebois. The score would remain 2-2 for the remainder of regulation, and the Pirates and Monarchs went to overtime for the third game this season.
The Pirates and Monarchs each had chances in overtime but the ice tilted towards the Pirates end as the five minute period ran down. With just 1.8 seconds left in the extra frame, Linden Vey beat Domingue with a knuckle puck over his blocker to give the Monarchs a 3-2 victory. The loss gives the Pirates a point in their second straight game, but extends their winless streak to 6 games with a record of 0-3-1-2. The Pirates also drop to 2-2-1-1 in VIP Cup action this year. Louis Domingue made 36 saves for the Pirates in the game, but sees his record drop to 6-2-1-2 on the year.
The Pirates travel to Springfield tomorrow for a matinée against the Eastern Conference leading Falcons. Puck drop is at 3 PM and the game can be heard on the Pirates flagship stations WPEI 95.5/95.9 FM as well as WEZR AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County.

Sometimes you just can't eat the entire loaf. We get it! Some of you have smaller households and there's always a desire to have fresh product! Plus, smaller sizes means less calories and less work fighting the urge to nibble at the leftovers on the counter before bed.
This is where our new Bread for Two comes in! We knew this is what you had been asking for.
Bread for Two is available in all 22 Lunds and Byerly's grocery stores. You won't find them in the bakery though; they're usually next to the rotisserie chickens in the deli or near the front of the store. We have four varieties of small-sized bread: focaccia, honey whole grain loaf, rustic Italian and a mini baguette.
Delicious, all-natural options at a great price – 2 packages for just $4. It's a price that can't be passed over. Just heat your Bread for Two in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Last weekend, I brought home the focaccia with some Italian deli meat and provolone cheese. My husband and I sliced it, filled it with meat and cheese and put it under the broiler for a few minutes for a delicious homemade Italian sandwich. It was big enough for at least two people.
Now that it's starting to get warmer out, I don't always want to turn on the oven to heat these up, so I'll wrap breads in foil and put them on the grill to finish heating. It's a great way to add that warm bread to your table with steak or pork chops.
So, when you're in the stores next time, look for our new Bread for Two and give them a try!
It was created with a simple goal in mind: to provide you with a heaping scoop of mealtime inspiration and food education from our passionate and knowledgeable staff. Our contributors come from every corner of our company and are truly experts in their field.
All of us are here for you, so keep the conversations going by using the "Comments" feature at the end of each post to provide additional expertise, ask questions or share your thoughts.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - There have been plenty of internal meetings at the Wausau School District due to the musical performance issues brought to light last Friday.
At around 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, the district announced there will be a special school board meeting at the Wausau East Auditorium Thursday beginning at 6:30 p.m. immediately after the board meets in closed session with administrators and legal counsel.
Just after 7:20 p.m. Tuesday night, Superintendent Kathleen Williams issued a statement confirming a meeting with Wausau West choral music instructor Phil Buch on Wednesday to "discuss how the Master Singers winter performances can continue in a way that satisfies high musical quality and constitutional requirements."
Also in her statement, Superintendent Williams claims several earlier reports about the district's holiday music policies have caused significant misunderstanding. One point that has upset the public and some school board members is a requirement to have five non-religious songs for every religious song in a school program. Williams met with music selection committee members Tuesday, and says, "No set ratio of religious songs versus non-religious songs was ever established as part of committee review."
What's not clear is where that 5-to-1 ratio came from.
Williams has been flooded with media interview requests, and she did grant one television interview. Williams told WAOW television Tuesday she wants to find a resolution for everyone, saying, "The goal is to make sure that students do not feel coerced into performing songs that make them feel very uncomfortable" adding, "The other goal is to not endorse any religion, so to speak, within that concert frame, and additionally, to be religious-neutral in terms of what we're promoting."
The special meeting of the school board is Thursday at Wausau East High School Auditorium beginning at 6:30 p.m. The board and administration is expecting a large turnout and many public comments.
Williams says people should expect secondary school winter concerts to (quote) "contain a mixture of secular and non-secular music very similar to the mixture of music from previous concerts.
The administrator has been meeting with staff and legal counsel all week on these issues. School Board members have expressed concern about being left out of the process to change how rules on music were to be enforced.
(The Superintendent's statement is attached, below the photo.)

NEW YORK — New Yorkers railed Sunday against a utility that has lagged behind others in restoring power two weeks after the superstorm that socked the region, criticizing its slow pace as well as a dearth of information.
At least 150,000 people in New York and New Jersey remained without power Sunday, including tens of thousands of homes and businesses that were too damaged to receive power. More than 8 million lost power during the storm, and some during a later nor'easter.

No. He's part of an anti-sitting movement that's gaining followers as evidence continues to build that what was once considered a benign pastime — sitting for extended periods — can actually shorten your lifespan, increase the risk of cardiovascular problems and diabetes, and contribute to obesity later in life.

Actor David Mitchell was left shaken after being targeted by thieves near his home on Sunday.
The TV star was uninjured but "shocked" after the incident in which he had his cash, mobile phone and credit cards stolen as he walked through Kilburn.
"I've just been mugged. And I'm fine thanks. I was just shocked and now annoyed to have no cash, cards or phone. But it could have been a lot worse," David wrote on his Twitter page.

So glad the storm passed and that we were able to play last night.
Footy love, nikhak
Sorry I've been m.i.a. lately - sometimes life gets busy, ya know?
At least I've been spending a lot of my time watching, playing, & talking about soccer - last night I was even able to go out and play pickup with my sister and a group of my friends from Section 8 Chicago. It had been over a year since my sister and I had last been to Grasshopper when all the Husaria guys used to play regularly, and we missed it!
My legs are hurting today, but it was fun to run around and see everyone. Hope everyone is doing well!
Footy love, nikhak
I recently took a part-time job in addition to my full-time one to work for a soccer organization in Chicago called Kick It Social. I'd been playing in Kick It Social leagues for the last year, and I'd really been enjoying my time with them. I appreciated the owner's passion for the game (every time he steps on the field, his eyes light up with happiness), the relationship he built with teams & players in the league, and the level of play that the leagues had to offer (from beginners to competitive).
I was especially thankful for the risks he took in starting up women's leagues through Kick It Social. Even though Chicago is a massive city - since I started playing adult leagues in the city in 2006, it seems that there has never been a lasting women's league no matter how many organizations have tried to get one up and running. As a female player, I'm hopeful that a great women's league can last and continue to grow in years to come - Chicago is certainly not short on female players.
I've always been an advocate of adult soccer in Chicago especially women's adult soccer, so I'm happy to have the opportunity to help the game grow in a different setting now - other than just spreading the word individually, through friends, teammates, etc.
If you're in Chicago and looking to join a league, hop on a team, or play a little pick-up - please feel free to reach out, as I'd be more than happy to help you find a league, team, or pick-up session that suits you best.
Happy to be helping grow the game.
[Photos: Top Left: My coed team - Team Decent FC. Other two photos: Saturday afternoon pick-up.]
Sunday was a really great soccer day for me.
1. I enjoyed the afternoon watching soccer with some of my favorite ladies. (Photo: KT Q, my sister, me, Julie)
2. Fire not only scored ONE goal but THREE. Thank you, soccer Gods for this one. [Insert high-fives to Paladini & Santos here.]
3. Fire victory. Yes, it really happened!
4. Watching Julie swoon over Henry was also quite entertaining.
The only thing that could have made the afternoon better was if my favorite Chicago Fire/MLS player, Chris Rolfe, would have made the PK he took. Sigh. [See photo.] Even with this missed opportunity, I have high hopes for goals to be scored by him in he near future.
How did your MLS teams do over the weekend?
What were we doing last weekend, you ask? Well, Smash was cheering on her FC Dallas boys at home in Dallas with her girls, and Julie and I were bundled up in Chicago trying to bear the cold weather and terrible soccer being played by Chicago Fire - at least the tifo by Section 8 Chicago was off the hook.
Losses & sadfaces. Hoping this weekend is better for our teams. MLS weekend #3 of 2013 is upon us - happy soccer watching.
It's been five months, since I last played soccer due to a muscular heel injury that was caused by playing in old cleats on turf fields (the cleats would go through the turf and hit the concrete underneath). My doctor told me that I might always have to wear turf shoes once I'm able to play again. Sigh. All I really want are all black boots like the ones this Bronco is wearing.
Soccer boot daydreams.
Here is a Badass Bronco™ expressing how I feel about that unending truth.
Thank God for Widgic.
Editing to add the following PSA: That is how you wear shorts.
Here is a Badass Bronco™ expressing how I feel about that unending truth.
Thank God for Widgic.
Editing to add the following PSA: That is how you wear shorts.
Nearly two-and-a-half months ago I had to add myself to the IR list and take a break from playing soccer for a little while due to a nagging heel injury - turns out wearing old cleats can really do some damage, especially while playing on turf [the cleats go through the turf and hit the hard surface underneath]. Well, that was mid September and now it's nearly December and my left foot is still hanging out in a boot, though there are signs of rehab in my near future. [YAY!]
Back when I first new that I'd be sitting on the bench for a while, I started looking at new boots knowing that I'd need a new pair and was somewhat excited that I had an excuse to throw down some cash on a pair. [This was also before my doctor told me that it's best to wear turf shoes on turf fields. Go figure. And I don't love the appearance of most turf shoes. Oh well.]
As my heel continues to heal, here are some of the soccer/futsal boots that I've been daydreaming about. Note: No turf shoes pictured. Sadface.
p.s. Here's a post that A Football Report posted on football boots today.
MLS 2012 Playoff format & dates.
Who are you supporting now that playoffs are approaching?
Chicago Fire, obviously, has my vote, and SMASH is supporting DC since her beloved FC Dallas didn't make the playoffs.
Why is she supporting DC, you ask? Well because of Ben Olson, of course. I must admit that I'm a little disappointed in her decision, as I would back Dallas in her honor if Fire did not make the playoffs. I'm still going to try to persuade her to come over to my side with the help Dan Gargan's good looks. ::fingers crossed::
Purple Pandas started another season together as of last week with Kick-It-Social. The roster is quite different then previous years we played together, but one of the things I love about playing soccer is the diversity of it all. Appx a fourth of our team are DePaul University sophomores, another fourth are recent graduates of Lake Forest College, and yet another handful are made up of a group of us 30+ oldies that have played together over the years (also known as the OG Pandas, myself included!).
Camryn (pictured by herself) was player of the game in our 1-0 victory. YEAAH! I met her playing club soccer last year for DePaul. I never would have imagined that I would have become such good friends with such a young, inspiring soccer player before I joined the team, but as the old lady on the team, I'm terribly grateful for the friendships I made with the youngins I played with while playing DePaul club.
Sadly, I am currently sidelined with a foot injury and am missing footy terribly after being on the IR list for about two weeks now. (Yep, that's me in the orange jacket, clearly not dressed in a full kit like all the other sweaty babes in the team pic.)
Thanks, Kick-It-Social, for giving us another women's league to play in. I hope the women's adult rec/competitive league continues to grow in Chicago.
Another weekend spent with my sister and friends at Toyota Park. For once in a long while, it's actually exciting to go to matches again - the Fire have been playing significantly better than they have the last couple of seasons and have been notching a lot more W's on the board.
Also, second place in the Eastern Conference and third place overall. Not baddddd, guys.
What are your hopes for the end of the MLS season?

Italian in Chapel??
How is Vespa?? what is the best in Ch-Hill area?
Thanks in advance!!!!
I have yet to find a satisfactory Italian restaurant in Chapel Hill. Vespa is okay, but bland and expensive; not really worth it in the end. Il Palio is at moments very good, but of course it is exceedingly expensive, a place for special occasion dining. The other notable options are Aurora, 411 West, and Panzanella. None of these are particularly thrilling either. If I had to choose between the latter three restaurants, I would probably choose Panzanella, which at least serves good bread and makes a decent pizza crust.
re: Sinophile
Aurora is, at least for now, out-of-commission: http://www.aurorarestaurant.com/
I have to agree with Sinophile that there's really nothing in Chapel Hill (OK, nothing really in the *Triangle* as a whole, to be honest) that I'd want to use the word "best" to describe, when it comes to Italian food. There's a lot of "good enough for the neighborhood joint," and a few "more expensive than the quality really justifies" and not much else.
I'm not even much of a home-cook (I can't help it, I like eating other cooks' food better than my own), but I've had better luck with my own homemade pastas and sauces (from the Hazan & the Kasper cookbooks, mostly) than with stuff I've had at even the "good" Italian restaurants around. Which really does say more about the lack of good Italian food than it does about the quality of my cooking ;-)
Vespa really peeves me; They are low-mediocre & charge $$ prices & don't even put escarole in the escarole soup. If you're going to charge me at least give me top ingrediants.
Panzanella isn't really Italian. But they do make great home made pasta & their lamb shank ragu or boar ragu is really superb. I've said before Mario Batali has this dish in his NYC restaurant for much $$$. Also they always are happy to serve Marinara over the pasta. Their bread is excellent too. Nice mellow atmosphere.
So if you want pasta I'd go to Panzanella...otherwise make it at home. I just ordered Rao's Cookbook.
I've got to agree with most of the above. Vespa is really bad, although it's under new ownership, so who knows. I wouldn't even really call 411 Italian... and as we've already noted, Aurora is gone. Panzanella, like 411, has some Italian dishes, very good bread and decent pizza. I had a truly bad and very expensive meal at Il Palio a long time ago, and I won't go back.
Note to self-- open good Italian restaurant in Chapel Hill.
I would agree with all of the above. The Italian options in Chapel Hill are pretty meager. Panzanella, while not strictly Italian, has some really good dishes and is, by far, your best option.
If anybody were to open a place serving quality Italian food in Chapel Hill, I would be a frequent and loyal patron and I don't think I would be the only one.
La Russa's in Meadowmont is good. Great place to go for lunch. I recommend the chicken parm sandwich and the specials are usually pretty good. They also serve as a mini italian grocery if you wanna buy something to cook at home.
Not an Italian restaurant at all, but the best affordable Italian dish I've had in the Triangle was the Pappardelle with Boar Ragu at Federal. Absolutely amazing.
Nope, good Italian is another one we're short on out here.
I have to disagree; Il Palio is a fantastic Italian Restaurant! This like most restaurants it does have its ups and downs, but time and time again we have had a great meal. This is the only place in the Triangle that truly serves what they are serving in Italy. The pastas are made in house, and the Osso Bucco is out of this world. Just like the great restaurants in Northern Italy (Ristorante Sobborgo) www.sobborgo.it you need to talk with the staff, and ask lots of questions.
They have a new Sommelier (Hailey) that was recommend by Damon (the previous Sommelier). She has unbelievable knowledge about Italian wines. As far as pricey, my wife and I dine at Il Palio at least once a month and our average check is under $100 before gratuity. We have experienced different Chefs over the years, each one specializing in something different, so if you had a bad experience a few years ago you might like the current one.
Fat Tony
re: Ilovefood2006
I go back at least four chefs or more with Il Palio and some have been more to my taste than others. Each meal has been outstanding in its own way. However, for the vast majority of diners, Il Palio is a special occasion restaurant. Once a month would be far more than my budget could stand.
Maybe I understood the initial post incorrectly but for this ex-Brooklyn kid a good Italian restaurant is the kind of place you could go maybe once a week or once every other week, where the primary offerings are not pizza or heroes, and entrees run under $20 each. Oh yeah, and the food should be almost as good as what your Nonna made when you were a kid - if you were lucky enough to have an Italian grandma (I wasn't). This isn't the kind of thing the Triangle is big on.
re: Ilovefood2006
Agree that both Hailey and Damon know a great deal, and provide an excellent wine list. Sadly, a wine list does not a restaurant make--it'd be a lot easier for people like me if it did. Furthermore, asking questions doesn't do a lot of good if the servers aren't well trained in what they're serving. It's not a lack of understanding of Italian food that colored my experience, believe me.
re: HeelsSoxHound
I too agree a wine list doesn't make the restaurant. But, let me ask you this; if you had one bad experience, "a long time ago" perhaps it was one bad server that no longer is employed? I don't mean to sound argumentative at all, but when someone says, "a long time ago" a lot can change, so don't assume it will always be that way.
And what I mean about asking a lot of questions is not meant to be an interaction with the server only. Talk with Hostess, Bartenders, the Sommelier, the Manager, and for Pete's sake talk with the Chef. My wife and I love getting to know the whole team in a restaurant. We have built so many great relationships with Triangle restaurants by doing this. So when the day comes the restaurant overbooked or just is having an off night the staff will make sure you are taken care of at all costs.
When you walk into the restaurant and they all greet you as if you were Norm on Cheers and the food and wine are great, then that is when you say, "this is one of our favorite places to go." And as far as Italian knowledge and authenticity the Il Palio has it. Yes, it is more expensive than a Mom and Pop place, but it sure makes you feel like you are in a fine dining restaurant in Northern Italy.
I apologize for the disagreement here, as I usually find your comments and opinions pretty right on.
re: Ilovefood2006
Fair enough... goodness knows my wife and I also enjoy a fair measure of camaraderie with good number of restaurants in the area. Also noted that a lot can change over time in any restaurant. I guess that the core of the matter is that if I know it's going to be good, I'll feel a lot more comfortable dropping that kind of change on dinner. Perhaps it's time for me to try it again. Also wasn't trying to be argumentative... *grin* just an avid defender of my point.
It was not in Chapel Hill and it probably wasn't at the level of what others have referrenced but I sure miss the old La Fonte restaurant in Durham back in the 80s and 90s. Nothing fancy but boy, they sure had some great manicotti and garlic rolls at really great prices. I haven't found anything in the Durham or Chapel Hill area that takes their place.
I'm with you, guilty gourmand - do you remember the guy with the accordion? That place had such a great vibe. Who needs "authentic Italian" when you can get "authentic Italian American" with a fun vibe and at reasonable prices. I miss it, too! The closest we've found has been Bocci's on Fayetteville - it doesn't have quite the charm and no garlc rolls, nor the dude with the accordion, but last time we went we had a trip of a waitress who's been in the business forever and had some great stories. Their brick oven pizza and sauteed greens are worth a try. It's not crazy expensive either.
re: suse
My wife and her friends did a ladies night out at Bocci's this past weekend and she raved about it. They had a fllorentine ribeye and a couple of different pasta dishes and she said everything was delicious. And the check was quite reasonable, too.
And I don't know about authenticity but 411 West is a very good dining experience in my book. Good food without breaking the bank-- that's what Chowhound is all about, isn't it?
Suse--Thanks for the tip on Bocci's. Yes, the guy with the accordian was great. Wasn't there an older lady that used to accompany him sometimes as well--maybe a wife / husband team? My memory is failing me. I do remember going there on a date while in school and the owner handing me an extra mint at the register after I paid and giving me a wink and whispering "just in case." It was a great spot
Aurora is gone? Boo! I moved from chapel hill to athens last august, this is a shame.
I for one really love 411 West. The last time I was there, the service was mediocre but the polenta was very good, and the food in general was worth it.
Chapel Hill is really hurting for decent, true Italian fare. I've been to il Palio a few times and found the atmosphere to be noisy, uncomfortable, and generally abhorrent, so that really put a damper on my dinner and each time I had trouble enjoying the food.
Pazzo's is good, but definitely not the 'like the family did it' Italian experience. Honestly, I don't ever get that sort of thing anywhere except in the Northeast and Chicago......Trilussa goes for that sort of thing but doesn't get there. I would agree that Panzanella is the best 'daily' italian in CH.
If you don't mind a drive to Durham, go to Pulcinella's! It's on 751 in the Woodcroft shopping center, just north of 54.
It's by far the best Italian I've had here, and reminds me a bit of neighborhood Italian restaurants in Brooklyn. It's totally unpretentious, cheap (most entrees are under $10), and always good. No, it's not super-fancy, and no, it doesn't have a sommelier, but if you're looking for family-style Italian, this is the place.
Many thanks for all the comments, I will be trying some of your recommendations over Easter.

Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Allied Nevada Gold as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 25.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- ANV's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.92 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Despite the fact that ANV's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 2.41 is high and demonstrates strong liquidity.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Metals & Mining industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ALLIED NEVADA GOLD CORP has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- Looking at the price performance of ANV's shares over the past 12 months, there is not much good news to report: the stock is down 83.25%, and it has underformed the S&P 500 Index. In addition, the company's earnings per share are lower today than the year-earlier quarter. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, do not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, ANV is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.

The aorta is the main artery carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. Aortic coarctation is the narrowing of the aorta which slows or blocks the blood flow. It is often associated with other heart and vascular conditions, like abnormal heart valves or blood vessel outpouching. These conditions carry a risk of additional future problems.

Aortic coarctation is a congenital heart defect, which means it is present at birth. It occurs because of a problem with the development of the aorta while the fetus in the womb.
Factors that increase your chances of having aortic coarctation include:
Aortic coarctation may or may not have symptoms. Symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of your internal structures. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
The narrow section of the aorta can be removed surgically. The two healthy ends can be reconnected.
A tiny catheter tube is inserted into a blood vessel in the leg and threaded up to the aorta. There, a balloon is inflated to expand the narrow area. A stent may be placed to keep the area open.

How 3D printing could save HP
Hewlett-Packard seems to be walking away from 3D printing just as it gets ready to explode.
I would love to believe Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) can become great again. It's a great brand that stands for engineering excellence, white shirts and pocket protectors.
But that HP disappeared when Agilent (A) was spun out in 1999. What was left was a consumer products giant, a rumbling, bumbling, stumbling company trading on its name, growing in size but losing its reason for being.
CEO Meg Whitman keeps promising to turn things around, but her moves make no sense to me. The move that makes the least sense was the decision taken this summer to end its relationship with 3D printing leader Stratasys (SSYS), whose printers it had been selling as the "DesignJet" line since 2010.
This is a business at the very top of its hype cycle, projected to be a $3.1 billion industry in 2016 by Wohlers Associates. (The report is available here.) Not much when your sales are running at $130 billion/year, but growing fast and ready to transform the world.
At his blog, Terry Wohlers says 3D printing, or "additive manufacturing," has reached a tipping point, where it moves from being a niche market to a mass market. That's when HP walks away?
At Shaping the Future, Christopher Barnatt notes there are many types of 3D printers. The Stratasys units HP sold use "fused deposition modeling" or FDM - injection molding plastic goes in as a thread and is deposited into the input design. Other types of 3D printing include:
- Stereolithographers, or SLAs, which use lasers to deposit layers of polymer that is hardened after it's deposited.
- Polyjet matrix devices that spray two polymers from a print head to harden quickly under an ultraviolet light.
- Selective Laser Sintering, or SLS, devices that fuse layers of powder together and can use a variety of materials from wax and nylon to stainless steel and aluminum.
- SLS machines that use metals are sometimes called Direct Metal Laser Sintering, or DMLS machines. You can also make metal objects by using SLS to create a mold you pour metal into, a production method almost as old as civilization.
- Selective Laser Melting, or SLM, will fully melt the powder being used in molding, not just fuse it together.
- Selective Heat Sintering, or SHS, uses a thermal print head instead of a laser to heat the powder being melted as it is deposited.
- Multi-Jet Modeling, or MJM, uses an inkjet print head to bind successive layers of fused powder together into a final form.
Prices for most units run from $10,000-$20,000 but all use Computer Aided Design, or CAD, software as a common language. There is also a small consumer market, with prices as low as $399 for the "junior" version of the Printrbot kit, notes DVICE.
In the business world most 3D printers today are used for prototyping, but they can be used for final production in some highly-customized areas such as dental implants and motorcycle parts. I personally think this is going to expand into multiple industries rapidly, a "mass customization" revolution.
I'm not the only person who thinks so. Bob Lewis of Infoworld calls 3D printing a "litmus test" of IT leadership. The business is rapidly consolidating around two main players, Stratasys and 3D Systems (DDD), either of which HP could still acquire, SeekingAlpha notes, although maybe not for much longer. (Another way in might be by buying Autodesk (ADSK).)
What's amazing is that if you ask consumers to name a company involved in 3D printing, HP will likely be top of mind, thanks to DesignJet. But by spring the only HP offerings in this area may be a software solution it is working on with a company called SolidWorks, called the DesignJet T2300 platform, and a Web-based service called ePrint & Share for large-format printing of designs.
The opportunity could not be plainer. Buy the biggest 3D printer company you can, build out a retail presence offering consumer units, software services and custom production from larger machines, stock the rest of your line in those stores for a "halo effect," and tie the larger industrial market in with the cloud.
HP could get into this super-fast by buying into FedEx (FDX) Kinkos' stores, which are getting stale anyway with plain paper copying and printing. Then imagine FedEx handling the deliveries.
The 3D printing market is already coming to retail, as BusinessWeek notes, with stores that look, and feel, like PC stores did in the 1970s.
Consolidating the opportunity, and dominating the market sounds like the biggest no-brainer in the history of Earth, a way for HP to grow again, to be relevant again, to have cachet again.
If HP has a coherent strategy on 3D printing, I would love to hear it. But right now it looks like this future will pass it by.

While agency employees will continue to work their regular hours, this shorter public window will allow them to complete face-to-face interviews and process claims work without incurring the cost of overtime.
The significantly reduced funding provided by Congress under the continuing resolution for the first six months of the fiscal year makes it impossible for the agency to provide the overtime needed to handle service to the public as it has done in the past.
In addition, on November 23, the day after Thanksgiving, all Social Security field offices will be closed to the public. As we did last year, employees working that day will focus on reducing backlogged workloads.
Most Social Security services do not require a visit to a local office. Many services, including applying for retirement, disability or Medicare benefits, signing up for direct deposit, replacing a Medicare card, obtaining a proof of income letter or informing us of a change of address or telephone number are conveniently available at www.socialsecurity.gov or by dialing our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213.

Just what we were looking for.
My wife and I had a great experience with this place. The place is clean and cozy. It is just outside of the main town which gives you the perfect getaway feeling. There was also a great hiking trail in which we saw no one, on both of our hikes. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as the open spaces surrounding the house. The owner was immediately responsive to our only question. We will not bother to look around the next time we go to Big Bear. This place was all we could ask for.
Prior recent reviews - dozens more if desired.
July 2014 Stanley - Excellent location. Communication good. Clean. July 2014 Riese - We had a great week-long stay at William's property in Big Bear. There was plenty of room for six of us, a spacious kitchen, solid water pressure in the shower and an optimal location. The deck was also really nice. A bonus was the plethora of '80s/'90s movies on VHS. There's no time like the present to watch Jurassic Park again! June 2014 Scott - Great way to kick off our summer! The house is well kept and minutes from the lake and shopping. Our family trip of 11 including 6 kids found the home to be a good fit. The two sitting rooms afforded the adults some seclusion while still being within earshot of the children. The kitchen had all the things one would need to prepare and cook a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which we did. Overall very satisfied with our stay. Thanks William. February 2014 Cesar - Great Place! Had a great time! Close to Bear Mountain. January 2014 Dilson - Great Place...We were in 9. 4 Adults and 5 kids. It was perfect. All clean and confortable. The kitchen is totally equipped. The place is very near of SnowSummit and other places to ski. We enjoyed a lot. Thank you William. You made our tour very easy. January 2014 Emily - Everything was great! Lots of sofas and space to talk and lounge around, especially if you come with a group of friends. There were also some sleds downstairs in the mud room which was nice to have (although we didn't use them). Thanks William! January 2014 Helen - Lovely stay in this home- Had trouble reaching owner until the day before we arrived, but he was very accomodating once we finally were able to talk to him. January 2014 Jacob - Great cabin lots of room and at a great price January 2014 Avo - We had so much fun William's spacious cabin in Big Bear. It was pretty close to all the necessities like he described. When we got there the house was clean and tidy. The only trouble we had was the master bedroom door was jammed, but even on New Years Eve William was able to get Josh (his handyman) to come by and get it open! Other than that the weekend went without a hitch. I would suggest you bring your own blankets in the winter time, also the house doesn't have Salt and Pepper stalked, so you do need to bring your own supply. Overall I would recommend this stay to any friend. My friends were also pleased!
Perfect for big groups!
Our group loved this place! Cozy and very clean! Very spacious and open on the main level. Enough room that nobody bumped into each other. We had total of 16 staying here. The rooms were spacious enough for everyone to sleep comfortably. Plenty of restrooms!! Which is a big plus for big groups. All the restrooms have showers. The master bedroom is big. Fits 7 but I think more can sleep in there. The kitchen is somewhat small for the size of the property but it got the job done! Has everything you need! Each level of the property has a child gate for the stairs so no need to bring one from home. Even the stairs outside has one built in. Property also has a grill that is easily accessible through the rear door in the kitchen. The property is close to the local markets. About a 5min drive. The lake is close by also. The surrounding area is very quiet. We didn't really have any neighbors during our stay. Jerry was very accommodating and answered all our questions right away. Would totally recommend this place to those that have a bigger size group. Thank you Jerry for letting us use your property! We will be returning again!
