"Teaching Updike" with Jim Plath
Dr. Jim Plath is professor of English at Illinois Wesleyan University and co-founder and president of The John Updike Society. His essays on Updike have appeared in numerous critical anthologies, including Critical Insights: John Updike (Salem Press, 2011). His current project is a collaboration called Native Son: John Updike's Pennsylvania Interviews, which will be published by Lehigh University Press. In 2004 he won his university's highest award for teaching, scholarship, and campus service.
Plath will discuss whether John Updike is a writer whose work will endure. According to Plath, much of that depends upon how he's taught, at what levels he's taught, and, most importantly, if he's taught. Updike is a complex writer whose work can be read in the context of any number of allusions to pop culture, books, art, American presidents, and U.S. history. The challenge, says Plath, especially at the high school level, is to find ways to introduce his most famous character Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom in ways that are audience-appropriate.

The price tag for World War II came to $296 billion, or $4 trillion in today's money. The aftermath of that war cost $13 billion more: The United States spent over 10 percent of its federal budget on rebuilding Europe — an aid package that amounted to the largest voluntary transfer of a nation's wealth in history.
Being a super power ain't cheap. Just like being the head of the household means picking up the check when the family goes out to dinner, leading the free world means footing one gigantic bill after another.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

This article is part of Uncyclopedia's HowTo series.

edit Here's The Story
The art of skeeting goes back to the beginning of mankind. Cave drawings told the story of a male and female cave dwellers that were both mute and blind. The male was under the impression that he was tapping the female in her sweet vagina. He was on the verge of climax when he realized that it was her moist mouth that was doing all the work. Desperate to continue his lineage, he pulled out and tried to make it to her warm cock holster... but it was too late, he asploded all over her beckoning face. Everyone in the cave was in shock. They could not believe he would risk his future generations in such a manner. Then they saw the female lapping the man nectar up like a rabid dog. This aroused the males of the cave greatly, which in turn created the bukkake the very same day.
edit How To Get There
The correct amount of friction is the key to achieve ejaculation. To get there you will need either a good hand or a good woman.
(Please Note: A woman is still required when involving a hand)
edit The Hand (Man)
Start with having penis erect and ready. Place your hand, palm up, in front of you. Lower your hand do to the standing soldier. Extent your thumb away from your hand and act like you are picking up a can of Coca-Cola. Make sure you have a firm grip of the shaft as to not accidentally lose hold of the purple-headed warrior. Begin making back and forth motions helping to stimulate the arteries supplying the erectile tissue. Depending on the individual, the whole process to cum can range from two seconds to never at all. Upon the feeling of climax, have the woman on her knees, point your cock in the direction of her face, and let the juices flow. Remember, skeeting is meant only for the face.
(Please Note:Lubricants are optional but are recommended, whether it be lotion, saliva, KY Lubricants, woman nectar, or anal juice)
edit The Woman (Preferred)
The woman has many extraordinary advantages. She has three openings to choose from in order to obtain ejaculation. The vagina is perhaps the most common method to achieve climax. The anus is a good way to cum quicker due to the tightness of the hole depending on it's usage. The mouth is by far the most used way in pornography due to the historical facts in cave paintings and the fact that pornography is educational. The same friction, as discussed above, is require in all three of these openings.
edit The Facts
- Fact: Semen makes for a great facial lotion, keeping it moist and smooth and can save you hundreds of dollars at the spa.
- Fact: Cum is the cure to the common cold.
- Fact: Sperm can unclog oil-filled skin pores that washing and scrubbing alone cannot.
- Fact: Man nectar makes for a great protein snack on those long road trips.
- Fact: Jizz can help reconstruct damaged hair and makes for a fabulous conditioner.
- Fact: Ejactulant is known to help reduce the risk of breast cancer in women.
- Fact: A man will most likely never stray when he meets a woman that will take a skeeting.
- Fact: Taking a skeet shot is a sign of true love.

It's like a scene out of a movie or trashy soap opera. Husband walks in on wife cheating. As they argue, her lover ties sheets together, climbs out of a third story window and attempts to scale down the building. That was the situation once unlucky, half-naked Brazilian man found himself in and the entire crazy, hilarious scene was caught on camera.
The poor guy was literally caught with his pants down. It must have been an incredibly scary situation for him. There he was in the throws of passion or about to be, then boom, in walks his lover's husband. In the video, you can see the spouses arguing on a balcony as the frightened man peers over from the ledge, clearly contemplating his escape.
Now there has been speculation that this was all a hoax, but there is no denying that the guy was dangling from that building. And if it is true (which I kinda hope it is), how wacky is this entire situation? The enraged husband is heard yelling in Portuguese, "Who's shirt is this?' before flinging it down to the street. As the drama unfolds, a crowd gathers below taunting and teasing him. The fire department arrives with a big, blow-up tarp for him to land on. It's nuts.
Watch the wacky, Erica Kane-worthy drama here:
Crazy right? He's clearly pissed at both the married couple and the crowd (as evidenced by him shaking his fists toward the balcony and then to the laughing mass of people). Though I have to hand it to him -- he is quick thinking. I don't know how he fashioned that sheet-rope so fast. It was gutsy to climb onto that ledge and dangle there precariously. He is lucky to have gotten away safely. Wonder if he thinks that fling was worth all that trouble?
Do you think this daring escape was smart or stupid?
Looks staged
Um stupid! He was caught anyways.
I think it's staged. If the married couple was outside on the balcony arguing, why on earth didn't the "lover" run through the condo and go out the door?? Instead he chooses to be seen by the husband when he climes out a window? Come on now...

Living in a Van Down By the River
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Saturday Night Live's hilarious bit about a motivational speaker's "high-class" living accommodations brought some laughs, although it was no place that we would want to call home. Fortunately, the rebounding U.S. economy and slow rise in new hiring is allowing more people to avoid that fate and join the ranks of homeowners. In December, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that sales of new single-family homes reached a seasonally adjusted level of 377,000, a 15.3% gain over the prior year. The primary beneficiaries of the increased housing activity have been the domestic home builders, most of which narrowly escaped bankruptcy during the financial crisis and are now returning to profitability.
Thank You Uncle Sam
The industry's gains have been fairly broad-based, with higher sales across all geographies and price points. Builders that survived the downturn with diverse land holdings have performed the best during the recovery, including industry leader Pulte Homes (NYSE: PHM). With 707 active communities across the U.S., Pulte is one of the largest domestic home builders and has benefited from a resurgent auto sector, especially in its home state of Michigan.
In FY2012, the company has reported a 13.2% increase in revenues, with gains in average unit prices and units sold of 6.7% and 3.4%, respectively. Pulte has generated sales increases across all of its operating areas, led by a 24% increase for its North region. Margins have risen due to the improved pricing environment, as well as cost savings from its various restructuring activities. The future is also looking bright, with a 24% increase in orders compared to the prior year.
The luxury segment is rebounding too, as evidenced by results from niche player Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL). Despite slow economic growth for the U.S., the company is finding more and more willing buyers for its premium-priced homes, with current average prices of over $530,000 for its detached, single-family homes. In FY2012, Toll has reported a 27.6% increase in revenues, with each of its regions enjoying higher sales levels. While the company's average home prices were in line with the prior year level, Toll sold 26% more units and its sales force was effective at generating significant add-ons to the base packages. The company is also confident in its future, with a 49% in orders versus the prior year.
Finding a Better Angle
While the home builders' business trends are up, so are the stock prices of Pulte and Toll, with one year gains of roughly 170% and 60%, respectively. Some of their smaller, highly-leveraged competitors have enjoyed even larger gains. Since a large part of the business improvement has already been priced into shares of the traditional builders, investors should instead look at the companies who focus on alternative housing options, such as the manufactured housing segment. After bankruptcies in this often-maligned area over the years, the business is now dominated by a small group of companies that includes Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) and Sun Communities (NYSE: SUI).
Berkshire's Clayton Homes subsidiary is the largest manufactured home producer in the country and it benefits immeasurably from the parent company's strong credit rating. In FY2012, the Clayton unit has reported revenues and segment profit of $2.2 billion and $159.0 million, increases of 2.7% and 40.7%, respectively, versus the prior year period. While the company sold more units during the period, the industry suffers from an unfair advantage that the federal government provides to the traditional housing market through its mortgage purchase programs. Nevertheless, Clayton's manufactured home sales and profit levels should continue rising as overall economic growth leads to better industry fundamentals.
Obviously, Clayton's business is a very small percentage of Berkshire's overall revenues, though, so investors should focus on Sun Communities. Founded in 1975, the company manages 173 manufactured housing and recreational vehicle (RV) communities in 19 states. While Sun generates three fourths of its revenues from the leasing of space in its communities, it has been growing its sales and rentals of manufactured homes. In its latest fiscal year, the company reported increases in revenues and adjusted operating income of 8.7% and 18.3%, respectively, compared to the prior year. The company benefited from rising occupancy at its network of properties and a 5% increase in manufactured home sales.
In FY2012, Sun has switched into growth mode, with over $180 million of acquisitions that have focused on its core markets of Florida, Texas, and Michigan. As one of the few industry players with publicly traded shares, Sun has a strong ability to continue its consolidation of the segment. In the first nine months of the year, the company has reported increases in revenues and adjusted operating income of 16.9% and 27.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year period.

To Each and Everyone in New Town Ct ~ MY Heart Goes Out To Everyone!
You Have All Been Affected &/or … Hurt Very Badly From This Horrific Tragedy. But, Please; Believe Me - You Are NOT Alone - The Whole World Understands!! Believe Me, When I Say, "There Is 100% More Good - Then Bad - In This World… "Whenever You Think Of That Awful Day, DO Some R. A. O. K. (Random Act Of Kindness) For Someone Else ~ Yes, Even Strangers. Be A Light Of LOVE - 24/7/365.
Love and Gentle Hugs - To Your Whole Town - Marianna & Todd Hyder
What a terrible tragedy. So many innocent lives lost so abruptly, and so unjustly. While no words can reverse what happened on this terrible day, I believe that the world is full of so many beautiful and amazing individuals who will do their best to demonstrate love, care, and respect in all of their endeavors. It takes our random acts of kindness, it takes our willingness to reach out to others, it takes our love of ourselves and of each other, to truly make the world a beautiful, safe place. Let us always remember the victims of Newtown, and strive full-heartedly to make this world a better place. Peace to all.
Spread Kindness and love all around!! It truly can make a difference in the world <3
If I could come there and do something I would…
All I can do is pray…but I know those precious victims will
visit from heaven and comfort their families with a kiss upon their
cheek or their presence will be felt. I hope and pray families are comforted.
I am an a licensed psychotherapist for 30 yrs I can offer my help
I send my love and will do anything for you all Love from Laura Seitz LCSW
R.I.P Little Angels , Merry Christmas

We're thinking of you. Sorry for your loss.

Go in peace little angels.. You will be thought of and missed every second of everyday xxxxx

the tower to see all the region is wonderful
reh view from the room is veey poor and the window very small and the horel old fashion but conenient andclean the breakfast was not included
Id like everything
Experience View from top of tower Pool
Location Queues to the tower despite being a guest in the hotel Confusion of getting upstairs View from the room
The price of the hotel compared to others.
The distance from the strip, the location was in a bad neighborhood, the room was tiny, the bathroom door was hard to open, room was very outdated.
Free access to the tower and the views from there were nice.
Room was old fashioned and dirty, there was visible dust at all corners and around the wall, carpet looked dirty, the bed sheets were clean though so sleep was OK. Bathroom looked bad and cheap with mold or dirt on the shower curtain. The room window was facing a concrete wall one meter in front (depends what room you get). Very noisy and strong Air Con. but we managed to sleep with it turned off. No minibar or any other facilities in the room. It is far from all the nice places on the strip except the tower. Had to wait around 20min for parking valet both in and out so I recommend self parking which is much faster! Many strange people staying at this hotel so I do not recommend. We booked a dinner table in the tower but even with reservation you wait 30 min or so more then the booked time!
The different venues great atmosphere great people clean streets great hotels and staff
Toilet leaked, older room
Pool, the building, room, everything.
Size of bath room Shopping flour
comfortable room free access to the tower if you get that type of room good wifi
too far from the main parts of the Vegas strip (45 minutes walking)
The whole hotel is great. No issues with the room.
Distance from other iconic hotels to visit. Slow internet access.
Hotel guest can go up & down the tower as many as you like. Stunning views!
Comfy beds and space in the room. Free entrance to the tower with great view.
Wifi only works in the bedroom and its always failing. The waitress only change towels and make beds. Don't clean the shower and bedroom.
The Buffett
Anything and everything else
Bus transportation in either direction is right out the door.
Shower head wasn't a full spray. Seemed like it needed to be replaced or thoroughly cleaned.
Very good value Clean comfy room Starbucks on site Cocktails in the high lounge Good range of eating places on site Helpful staff on concierge desk
Too far to walk to the strip Smoking in the casino which we had to walk through Bright searchlights kept us awake at night
That after a long day I didn't have to drive into the center of town to get to my hotel and they had excellent self parking. The Amenities included in the room rate are excellent. the room was large and quiet although the bathroom was a little small in comparison. There was enough to do in the hotel and parking was a breeze.
the hotel is nice but you can see in details that they are needing to do a better job of upkeep such as some of the carpets are showing signs of age, the bathroom was small and relatively clean but the staff needs to pay attention to things like the shower curtain hooks which i don't think were cleaned since the curtain was hung. This is why I didn't think tipping the cleaning staff was something to do since they obviously did not clean up well after the last person stayed. food in the hotel late at night is reduced to an adequate but not best attended buffet.
Very old, dirty, cleanless, nostar motel with elevators...
views from tower views when in the pool good and personal check in
2nd Checkin at parkdeck entrance would be great smoky smell when passing through casino no coffee facility on room
Away from the busy end of the strip Crazy rides Great view from the tower
The size of the room.
It's at the end of the Strip. We booked a room with Strip view but at this part of the Strip there is nothing special to see.
We like everything, we love it
It's a little bit far from the others hotels and wen you go out to the others hotels a lot people stop you and follow you asking for money .
low price, convenient parking, comfortable beds, great location. Excellent value for money.
Great view!

- Pleasant with a minusPlaygoerDined on 9/26/2014Our pre-theater dinner group of six was entirely satisfied with the restaurant. Beer selection was fine and wines by the bottle good prices with small but well-chosen options in the usual categories. Service was attentive at first but at time for our departure the server disappeared after delivering the bill. The food was nicely done pub fare. Fish & chips not heavily breaded and tasty. Veggie burger may be house made, and credit the effort but too soft and lacked style or signature flavor. Steak frites a good choice done as requested and a moderate portion commensurate with the price. Pleasantly accompanied by very nicely crunchy asparagus plus nice fries and rings. don't sit by the open Washington St window d.t. smoking post at door.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014We enjoyed salads and a specialty procuitto fig pizza for dinner. Drink and wine selection was varied. The wait staff welcoming and engaging.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great findMamaTDined on 9/13/2014We reserved a table for 5 for an early dinner before an event. We hadn't been to Devlin's before and we're very happy with our experience. The hostess was welcoming and accommodating, offering us a couple of choices for seating. There is a comfortable, hip ambience to Devlin's with a sophisticated bar and dining area on the right and a more traditional bar area on the left. The food pleased all of our party, and the draft and bottled beer list was extensive. It's nice to see a beer list that organizes choices by type of beer! We will return to Devlin's as the menu had so many choices, and we really want to try others. The outdoor area was not available on the rainy evening that we were there, but it looked very welcoming.Special Features:
- Nice last minute lunchChrisDined on 8/30/2014Was in the area Saturday and found this spot on the app. Food was excellent (i had soup and and Asian flavored tuna). Would definitely go back!Special Features:
- Pretty settingNewcomerVIPDined on 8/17/2014We were looking for a new place for brunch and found Devlin's with an outdoor setting. It was very nice, the weather was beautiful. My food was good, my husband truly enjoyed his omelet. Perfect place for young professionals or college students.Special Features:
- Nice restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/28/2014Had a small family lunch. Food was very good, service was attentive. Nice, pleasant, clean dining room.Special Features:
- Devlins is great!BifsterVIPDined on 7/20/2014Love the jazz brunch at the patio. Very nice atmosphere...friendly staff! Good food and drink. It is a hidden gem! Ask for Robbie...he is a great waiter! I hope to go there again with a group of friends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood placeCambridgianVIPDined on 7/1/2014I went out of my way to get to Devlins, and felt like an interloper. Clearly it is the neighborhood bar/restaurant. I did not find it special at all, even though the service was quite good. The food seemed absolutely like every other neighborhood sort of Irish bar/restaurant in the greater Boston area. Fine if you are in Brighton, but not worth any extra effort.Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerSullyDined on 6/24/2014It was a beautiful night for outdoor dining so we ate on the patio. It was busy so the service was a little slow. I had the sweet pea ravioli, my husband had a burger, my son-in-law had the meatloaf and my daughter had the steak frites. Everything was good not great. My son-in-law and daughter would most definitely return. They enjoyed the beer selection and the outdoor patio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 31 reviews are from the Devlin's Restaurant reviews archive.
- Lovely patioUMparentVIPDined on 5/29/2014We enjoyed the mixed greens salad with added grilled salmon. The patio setting was lovely. Lots of interesting as well as standard menu options. Would definitely recommend for lunch. Service was attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great neighborhood spotws46Dined on 5/29/2014Lunch as Devlin's was a find! I highly recommend the salmon. The only downside is that we were seated in a booth-banquette and it was too tight a 'fit' for us slender women. If you go there as a group choose a table and chairs.Special Features:
- Not so much sizzle to the steakIeatoutalotDined on 5/19/2014I chose Devlins because it fits the type of place I typically enjoy. Unfortunately the service was slow, every meal was served cold, and we were the ONLY people seated in the dining area.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Brunch!foodie77Dined on 5/11/2014Had Mother's Day brunch w/a group of 10 and it was fantastic! The outdoor patio is was a total surprise and such a treat on a beautiful day. Great brunch menu, awesome Bloody Mary bar, jazz band, service... all were great. Highly recommend for brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noisy & not prepped for party of 5OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/25/2014The food was very good, but the restaurant was very noisy, and it was hard to carry on a conversation around the table. We had a reservation for 5, but were seated at a table for 4 with an extra chair stuck at the end. If they can't seat parties of 5, they should say so.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Easter BrunchTheatreGuruDined on 4/20/2014I picked Devlin's because it was a good location that was offering brunch, lunch and an Easter Specials menu. I figured that would keep the different tastes of the fam happy. It was amazing! Our server was polite and courteous, always there when we needed him without hovering. The food was absolutely delicious and came out so fast. The Bloody Mary bar on Sundays is a fun thing to do with a ton of different hot sauces. I go out all the time, not necessarily a foodie, but definitely a person that goes to restaurants at least 2 times a week. This was a the best meal and service I've had in months without breaking the bank. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Overall great dinnerFoodForThoughtDined on 3/29/2014My son attends BC and when we visit I always try a new restaurant. This one got a thumbs up by my son, husband and me. That doesn't happen all the time. My son will be back for the fish tacos. They were excellent. Service was great and I love the semi-circle booths for conversation. We'll be back.Special Features:
- My burger that I ordered cameOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 3/15/2014My burger that I ordered came out raw, and they should have comped it.
- Lovely neighborhood spotJudiVIPDined on 12/19/2013Had a lovely lunch with a work colleague. Waiter was very attentive, and was willing to make some changes to the salad I ordered. They have some gluten free items that are clearly marked, and knowledgeable about a gluten free diet. I hadn't been here in awhile, and after this visit, I plan to return soon. Prices were reasonable too!Special Features:
- VERY NICE DINNERglensVIPDined on 12/7/2013I have to say that we had a great meal recently at Devlin's and I will definitely return soon. I had the beef stew over mashed potatoes which was delicious! My son and wife had the steak tips which were marinated and perfectly grilled. Great beers on draft. What else can I say? Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.Special Features:

- Amazing FoodStevoDined on 11/22/2013Pretty small place, but the food was so good! I got the short ribs with pie which tasted like heaven. The portions are generous in my opinion. Oh and the drinks were also very good. I would go back to this place again.Special Features:
- AverageMunBunVIPDined on 11/16/2013Food is very average here. Good for a night out if you want to watch a game and eat some comfort food.Special Features:
- Great findRootDined on 10/20/2013We are somewhat new to the Brighton neighborhood, and have been trying many of the local spots. Devlins was next on the list on Saturday night, so we went for dinner and the beginning of the sox game. Good food, good environment, reasonable prices! Actually when we were there, we saw that they have a bloody mar bar during brunch....so we all came for brunch the next morning as well. We will definitely be frequently Devlins!Special Features:
- Nice Job With a Big GroupMarkDined on 9/28/2013We were a group of 10 on a Saturday night and the service was terrific, which is remarkable. The calamari appetizer was absolutely terrific. The fish tacos were solid but I think I'd try something else next time. The rotating craft line was solid. Everyone else was very happy with their food and wine selections.Special Features:
- Had a lovely dinner with mypt12345Dined on 9/13/2013Had a lovely dinner with my parents and fiancee. We all loved our entrees, and the food was a tad more than enough, but not so much that you feel stuffed afterwards. Love that it's just a short walk from my place in BrightonSpecial Features:
- Great!PickyEaterDined on 8/14/2013Great food, service, location & atmosphere. It took the waitress a little while to catch on to our empty water glasses, but she was extremely pleasant and prompt with everything else. Great restaurant !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurant but the foodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/21/2013Nice restaurant but the food is only blah. Small portions for the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Sunday brunch experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/16/2013We were looking for an inexpensive, yet fun, way to enjoy Father's Day, and we're glad we chose Devlin's. We've always loved dining at Devlin's, for the food and for the atmosphere. During brunch, we enjoyed sitting on the patio, choosing from a traditional brunch menu with some unique touches, and listening to live jazz. This was our first time bringing our kids along to Devlin's and it was definitely kid-friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- space cadetOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/12/2013Although we really enjoyed the atmosphere at Devlin's we were disappointed by the service and food. Our waitress was not very attentive and never even offered us a look at the dessert menu. We were there celebrating a 30th birthday and probably would have ordered something...She needs a lesson in up-selling. Also, my swordfish was sadly over-cooked. But we would give them another chance and maybe just order a burger.I would recommend this to a friend.
- We went for mother's day brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/12/2013We went for mother's day brunch and it was great! The food was really good and we would love to go back and try it for dinner.Special Features:
- Devlin's is close to Boston CollegeKm08Dined on 5/12/2013My son is a student at BC and Devlin's has become our "go to" place when I drive out to the school. It's within a 5 minute drive from BC and the menu has something for everyone. I always find parking but you do have to allow a few extra minutes to find a spot. I drove out to meet him for Mother's Day and we made reservations for the jazz Mother's Day Brunch. Very nice. We were seated right away and opted for Florentine Eggs Benedict which came with roasted potatos and a little fruit cup. The menu is fairly priced. Most of the brunch items were between $10 and $12. The staff is very friendly- very good service. The rest rooms are neat and clean.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was terrible- you thinkOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/5/2013Food was terrible- you think you are safe with a burger... not when the bun is stale and meat is overcooked. Also left a tip and apparently it wasn't good enough for the waitress because she asked us for more money after we paid the bill. I have been here numerous times and I know the food is not that great- it's just a convenient spot- so I really wasn't expecting anything special with the food, but the rudeness at the end will definitely prevent me from ever going back or recommending this place to others.
- Delightful Easter BrunchFoodieVIPDined on 3/31/2013We were delighted with our Easter brunch at Devlin's. The food was delicious. It was served in a timely manner. We were a little leary to go out on a holiday but were pleasantly surprised that the prices were reasonable especially for the qualilty. Sometimes on holidays, restaurants jack up and prices and overbook. The jazz band that played during brunch added to the dining experience. Another favorite of our group was the bloody Mary bar. There were so many condiments to choose from. I can't wait to go back to Devlin's. I understand that their patio will be opening soon. Can't wait!Special Features:
- The restaurant is locatedKm08Dined on 3/27/2013The restaurant is located within a few miles of Boston College and has become our "go to" place when I pick up my son for school breaks. Parking is tight, but we have always managed to find a spot on the street. The staff is friendly and attentive- the service never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The menu is basic bar food with an upscale twist. My son loves their Devlin Burger which has bacon and blue cheese and orders this on every visit. I like the marinated steak tips as well as the crab cakes. We also enjoyed the phily steak rolls with the chipotle sauce for an appetizer.Special Features:

- Overall the experience atOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/15/2013Overall the experience at Devlin's did not meet my expectations. After reading all of the reviews about it on open table as well as Yelp I was extremely excited to visit. Upon arriving I told the waitress that I booked with open table and was promptly seated. As the night progressed it got even more packed, for a Friday night the bar was becoming very busy. The waitress was not attentive to my table at all, I noticed other diners were recieving complementary bread and we did not receive it at all. Overall the food was overpriced. I ordered the chicken tortellini, and there was minimal chicken in the dish. I'm not quite sure if I will return again.Special Features:

Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) The winter of 2013-2014 has created an unusually large number of snow events in Sioux Falls.
According to the National Weather Service, Sioux Falls experienced 70 snow events from November 1, 2013, through March 11, 2014. Less than 1 inch of snow fell during 60 of those events, but every snow event requires attention from the Public Works Street Division.
"One of the questions we have been asked is, 'Why does it seem like we have used a lot of deicing salt and chemicals this year?'" says Galynn Huber, Street and Fleet Operations Manager. "Even very small snow events trigger using deicing chemicals for safe travel, and we have had 70 of them this year."
Only three snow alerts were declared by the City so far this winter season, but the City has used 21,981 tons of salt and deicing chemicals to melt accumulations from streets.
Now the Public Works Street Division is focusing on patching potholes and asks residents to report potholes in need of attention. To report a pothole, please call the Pothole Hotline at 367-8002.

That pasta carbonara sure is creamy. But, it's usually packed in with enough calories – and guilt – to last for a week.
Have you thought about the calories in your favorite dish?
According to Men's Health magazine, the worst food in America is the Aussie cheese fries with ranch dressing at Outback Steakhouse, reports this New York Times story.
"This concoction of fries topped with melted cheese, chopped bacon and spicy ranch dressing contains 2,900 calories. That's the equivalent of 14 Krispy Kreme doughnuts. And, since most people should be consuming 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day, that's a day and a half's worth right there."
What about yours? What is your favorite guilty pleasure? And how many calories does it have?

Best and Worst Player
Best Player
Goal Choice
F. QuagliarellaJuventus Position: Attacker
Worst Player
Goal Choice
G. HooperCeltic Position: Attacker
Team Ratings
G. Buffon
Although Celtic enjoyed the lion's share of possession the keeper was left relatively untroubled. He showed his class with a great stop midway through the first half as he readjusted to turn Hooper's effort behind.
L. Bonucci
The Italy international never looked concerned at the back, displaying a confidence-inspiring authority. He stifled Hooper in the final third but was never really tested by the opposition.
A. Barzagli
Could not have done a better job when stepping out of defence in the 23rd minute, as his pressure on Hooper was the key to the opening goal. He was largely comfortable at the back but was unable to dominate the aerial game.
F. Peluso
Had plenty of freedom down the left-hand side but could not put in a decent performance. He lacked the pace to get at Celtic and also struggled defensively, allowing Samaras and Commons past him too easily.
A. Pirlo
Found a lot of space in the Celtic half but was not particularly suited to the counterattacking game that Juve employed in the first half. With more possession after the break he weaved his magic with a great pass leading to the second goal.
S. Padoin
Could not offer an awful lot of width going forward as Juve were happy to sit back and invite Celtic onto them. He was more adventurous in the second half but was let down by a number of poor deliveries.
L. Marrone
Played at centre-back and look completely at home. He showed tremendous composure when on the ball in defence and refused to be rushed into hitting it long, instead keeping it on the ground and encouraging the play.
A. Vidal
The Chilean was combative in midfield, pressing hard and winning the ball in some dangerous areas. He did not offer the Celtic players a moments rest and also found time to push on and support the forwards. A great run and unselfish pass enabled Quagliarella to make it 2-0.
P. Pogba
The young Frenchman made some impressive late runs to support the forwards and try to stretch the visitors. He protected the ball and did a good job patrolling things in midfield.
A. Matri
Always looked sharp and ready to cause damage to Neil Lennon's men. His link-up play with Quagliarella was impressive and he displayed his goalscoring instinct to follow his partner's shot up for a simple goal.
F. Quagliarella
There was plenty of bright attacking movement from the forward as he played on the shoulder of the last defender. Always looking to get in behind, his run and shot was crucial to Matri's opener and he then got one of his own after the break.
F. Forster
The keeper should probably have done more to get Quagliarella's 24th-minute shot to safety, but he parried it straight back into danger and Matri capitalised. However, he made some impressive saves from Quagliarella and Vidal as the game went on.
A. Matthews
The full-back made some decent interceptions early on and showed a great desire to get forward and press Juve back in their own half. He left a bit too much space in behind at times and was substituted in the 52nd minute.
E. Izaguirre
Tried to get forward and offer some extra width on the left but was frequently caught out of position. He failed to track Vidal's run from deep as the Chilean set Quagliarella up for Juve's second of the night.
C. Mulgrew
Simply aimed for efficiency in the centre of midfield. He kept his game simple with a series of horizontal passes. He did not stretch himself to the maximum of his ability which is surely required on such nights.
K. Wilson
Allowed Quagliarella far too much space inside the area in the build up to Juve's first goal, which ultimately ended any hopes of a miraculous result early on. He could not cope with the link-up of the Bianconeri strikers.
K. Commons
Drifted in from the wide areas to try and provide Celtic with a cutting edge in the final third. He never stopped looking to provide that creative spark but as he struggled to find that killer ball, he instead let a few decent shots fly from range.
B. Kayal
Put in plenty of effort to get forward and support the attack. He was keen to close the space and try and pen Juve in but did not provide enough of an influence when in possession of the ball.
J. Ledley
Attempted to give the attack direction from deep but struggled to show his quality on the night. He did not track back to help his team defend against the counterattack and did not provide enough of a threat in the final third.
V. Wanyama
Played at the heart of defence and did well to stay tight to Matri until the striker took his chance to net the opener, though that was not directly his fault. He was then withdrawn at half-time.
G. Samaras
Occasionally looked dangerous in the wide areas but did not really possess the pace to get at the defence and test them. He put one decent cross in that Hooper should have finished and lacked conviction in the air.
G. Hooper
The striker looked bereft of confidence up against the robust Juventus defence. He did not have the foresight to gamble for a simple tap in from Samaras' first-half cross and in fact had more of an impact at the other end as he was caught in possession ahead of the first goal.
E. Giaccherini
Brought on in place of Pirlo in the 69th minute and kept Juve looking dangerous on the break.
K. Asamoah
The Ghanaian replaced Peluso in the 59th minute but did not offer much more in terms of quality down the left side.
M. Isla
Came on for his compatriot Vidal in the 66th minute but could not display the same level of energy in midfield.
E. Ambrose
The centre-back had a shocker at Parkhead but was far more solid after he replaced Wanyama at half-time. He should probably have tested Buffon with a free header close to the hour mark.
J. Forrest
Came on for Matthews in the 52nd minute but did not make Celtic look any more threatening in the wide areas.
L. Nouioui
Replaced Commons in the 73rd minute but did not do enough to get involved in the game.

Jan 2 2013: Hi Genevieve,
I have actually spent my whole life in war, my mother said when I was born war was continuing in our village, I spent my childhood & teenage time hiding from bullets and surviving. I count myself one of lucky ones who survived.
Unfortunately it is still not over and I,m tired of it , I just want to get out of this situation no matter what I need to do and would never want my kids go through this experience.
Jan 7 2013: You might be a young person, but I hope you might be happy to know that there are people in their 50s and 60s who remember being curious international tourists in Afghanistan in the 1970s--going to see the buddha statues in Bamyan and the markets in Kabul. They miss this dearly. But, I really think that peace-time Afghanistan is retrievable :) Nothing is impossible!
I have an idea: why not put out a request to people on TED, on Facebook, and twitter--all over the world to upload their old beautiful pictures of Afghanistan? Build up a digital memory of what Afghanistan really is in peace times. I think people would totally participate--who wouldn't want to celebrate having known this lovely country when it was open to the world? Looking back, what a rare opportunity it was! And it would be a lovely tribute to a culture put on hold for 30 years. Who knows, it could motivate the hardest people to turn this war around. I know one Japanese man who has photos of himself visiting the buddha statues that he showed me once. I'll ask him to upload them (tho he might not like FB). I'll ask the TED community in an "idea" module if they have any photos to share to a FB page. If so, I'd love to show you the "future" of Afghanistan :) (made from important pieces from the past...)

Mood-stabilizing medicines for bipolar disorder
The above medicines are taken as tablets or capsules (orally).
These medicines are available in syrup, tablet, capsule, and chewable tablet forms.
How It Works
Each of these medicines works similarly to treat bipolar disorder. Mood stabilizers balance certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that control emotional states and behavior.
Valproate and divalproex have been approved as treatments for acute manic episodes in bipolar disorder.1 Lamotrigine was recently approved for the long-term maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder. These medicines, which are also called anticonvulsants, have been used for some time to treat seizures.
Why It Is Used
Lithium is usually one of the first medicines prescribed for bipolar disorder to treat mania and to prevent the return of both manic and depressive episodes.
Valproate, divalproex, lamotrigine, and carbamazepine may be used during a manic episode or to prevent mood cycling between depression and mania.
Valproate may be taken along with lithium carbonate or antidepressants to avoid a depressive episode. Valproate is also used during manic episodes for people who do not respond well to lithium carbonate alone.
Carbamazepine is used to treat mania and may be used in people who cannot take or don't respond to lithium or valproate.
How Well It Works
Lithium carbonate may provide relief from acute episodes of mania or depression and can help prevent them from recurring.
Lithium is often helpful in treating manic episodes that are not mixed with any depressive mood.2 Long-term use of lithium has been shown to reduce the risk of suicide related to bipolar disorder.1
Divalproex has been shown to help reduce rapid cycling between moods and is effective in those with bipolar disorder who also have substance abuse or anxiety problems.2
Research shows that lamotrigine is effective in treating both depression and mania associated with bipolar disorder.2 Lamotrigine improves mood, alertness, and the way you relate to others. Lamotrigine is usually taken alone, without other medicines normally used to treat bipolar disorder.
Side Effects
Side effects of lithium may include:
More serious side effects of lithium can include blacking out, slurred speech, changes in heart rhythm or a heart block, and an increase in the number of white blood cells (not usually because of an infection).
Side effects of valproate may include weight gain, drowsiness, low energy, stomach upset, changes in liver function, and problems with platelet functioning (thrombocytopenia). Uncommon side effects can include temporary hair loss, headaches, and confusion.
A warning label has been added to valproate injections and divalproex tablets and capsules that warns of a potential increase in pancreatitis associated with the use of these products.
Lamotrigine was well tolerated by people in initial studies. Some side effects occurred, including headaches, sleepiness, weight gain, and, most seriously, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which causes dangerous sores on the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, genitals, and eyelids. Serious negative side effects were uncommon. Rare side effects can include dizziness, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, liver function problems, hypersensitivity reaction, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Although rare, a dangerous rash from lamotrigine may require hospitalization and may be life-threatening. If you develop a rash, fever, or swollen glands, stop taking lamotrigine and call your doctor right away.
Side effects of carbamazepine may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, dizziness, blurred vision, drowsiness, and headache.
Anticonvulsants may raise the risk of birth defects. If you are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, talk to your doctor before you take these medicines.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on anticonvulsants and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take anticonvulsant medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take anticonvulsant medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Do not stop taking these medicines suddenly. You should taper off of these drugs slowly with the help of your doctor to avoid negative and serious side effects.
High blood levels of lithium carbonate can be life-threatening. People who take lithium carbonate need to have their blood checked regularly to measure the amount of the drug in their blood.
Your doctor will need to periodically test the function of your kidneys and thyroid gland if you are taking lithium.
Sometimes other medicines cause higher- or lower-than-expected amounts of lithium carbonate in a person's blood. People who take lithium carbonate need to tell their doctors if they take other medicines.
Some mood stabilizers may interact negatively with other medicines. Be sure to talk with your doctor about any medicines you are taking.
Your doctor may want you to have regular blood tests while on valproate, divalproex, lamotrigine, or carbamazepine to check your medicine levels, liver function, and blood counts.
If you have been taking antidepressants but have not been able to control your episodes of depression or mania, you may want to ask your doctor about taking lamotrigine to treat bipolar disorder.
Making the decision about which medicines to use can be a very complicated issue in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Be sure to discuss all the options and side effects with your doctor. You may have to try several medicines or combinations of medicines before you find out what works best for you.
Taking medicines for bipolar disorder during pregnancy may increase the risk of birth defects. If you are pregnant, or thinking of becoming pregnant, talk to your doctor. Medicines may need to be continued if your bipolar disorder is severe. Your doctor can help weigh the risks of treatment against the risk of harm to your pregnancy.
If you must take medicines during pregnancy to treat bipolar disorder, the mood stabilizer lithium has been shown to have a lower risk of neural tube birth defects than carbamazepine. But lithium may raise the risk of other birth defects, such as heart defects.

Depression is an Illness!
Depression may need a new same because I am one of the happiest DEPRESSED people I know!
Closing Statement from Leslie Pieters
Sharing my idea on Depression confirmed the need for more conversations on the topic. I appreicated the inquest that prompted me to complete my statement sooner than later which helped my idea take form.
It takes a lot to "come out" about a sensitive topic and those who did offered comfort along with their insight on Depression. This conversation enabled me to be objective about Depression while understanding it from a subjective frame of reference.
Stong statements were made by those observing the illness which proved valuable for continued directions in research. Depression referred to, "Our own slow train to our own Auschwitz", was extremely impactful comparison. I wholeheartedly advocated for a new name for Depression the illness, not depression the emotion!

Apr 20 2013: The problem when comparing mental and physical illness is that mental illness is not as measurable as physical.illness. You can take a person's blood pressure , measure their glucose levels, or use any number of imaging tests to check the spread of cancer. Unfortunately no such tests exist for mental illness. One simply can not quantify behavioral health. There is no test for levels of depression, or bi-polar disorder, or schizophrenia.For this reason many still refuse to accept the reality of mental illness and continue to view it as an excuse for anti-social behavior. Unfortunately for a lot of people mental illness remains an "I have to experience it before I believe it" subject, leaving those who live with it, and their families, struggling for recognition and treatment.
Apr 20 2013: Sofia, I concur!
