This is soooo brand new & fresh out the oven. I'm excited to see where this story is heading. : ) hehe now i present to you 'Summer of Boys"
Summer of Boys Poster. Officially made by me. : )
18 Year old Mariah is dying to show her parents that she is independent enough to go off to her dream College in Italy. So she strikes a deal with them…. Let her move in their Summer house down in Florida. Sounds more than easy enough right? Not. Mariah gets way more than she bargained for when she finds out that her house is planted right next door to the 'Gunner' boys. All six of them are Hollister ab, and shirtless, and glistening sweat hot! Mariah is determined to prove she can handle anything, even when she has to move in with the Gunner boys, after a break in at her summer house.
Chapter 1- Striking a Deal with a Dealmaker
"Are we really going to go through this again Mariah?" My Father asks while fumbling with his 13k gold Rolex. Once he's satisfied with the position its on his dark skin he moves his light brown eyes up to mine.
"Dad come on! I can do this! It's one of the best schools in the country!" I squeal while putting my cherry coke can down on the coaster. I watch as my father lean back in our leather living room couch and watch me with his expressionless face. I flick my eyes over to my mother whose sitting crossed legged and eyeing me as well. Her long dark brown hair is pulled into a high ponytail causing her already cat eyes to slant even more. Her dark eyes watch me as well. Except hers are softer and a bit more understanding.
"Mariah. No. Your way to young to go off to some University in Italy. Not as long as I'm-" he points his well polished thumb at himself and continues on "paying for the intuition and rooming and boarding."
"Mom come on! Help me out! This is the top prestige school in ITALY!" I declared as I moved my eyes to my mother.
"Benny, dear-" my mother begin except my father cuts her off with a wave of his hand. Giving us a flash of his gold Rolex.
"Michelle, Mariah, cannot handle being on her own for four years in a completely different and foreign country. She can barely handle her credit card." my father says as he looks at me. I frown at that and leap up out of my chair. I was desperate here. Beyond desperate. How many times have I had this conversation with my father? Way too many times to count. But every single time he won. It just wasn't fair! I was determined to get my way. Secretly I had already applied to the University of Rome. And I was excepted! I had the grades to even get into Yale or Harvard. But I didn't want to stay limited in the United States. I wanted to break free of this country and travel!
Go to another school, in an entirely different Country. U.O.R. could give me that chance. I really wished I had signed up in time for a scholarship for the Univer. But seeing how I had the flu the entire week they came out to our school in, Arizona. I missed that opportunity. I missed the deadline to put in an application for a scholarship. I would regret that forever, because then I wouldn't have to depend on my fathers money to put me through College. There had to be some way for him to budge. I had to show him I could handle living on my own, with a roommate, in another state or country. And that's when it hit me like a ton of bricks.
"I have a deal to make." I said raising my chin and placing my hands beside me. I straightened my spine as far as it could, as if somehow standing more straighter and calmer would change my father mind altogether. I watched as him and my mother raise an eyebrow.
"I'm listening." I watched yet again as he flick his hand, motioning me to go on. I swallowed hard, not believing what I was about to say to my father. But like I said I was desperate here.
"Our Summer home, down in Florida…" I began as I moved around our glass table carefully, making sure their eyes were still on me and moved in front of the large fireplace.
"What about it?" my mother asked as she scooted closer to my father and placed her hand on his knee. Her silk white pants suit glinted brightly as the sunsets glow beamed on it. I locked eyes with my father as he watched me.
"If I can prove to you, that I can live in our Summer home for the entire Summer without any problems, or Police reports you let me go to Rome." I say whilst making sure my chin was raised. My father tilted his head to the side as he rolled the thought over in his head. I knew the Summer home was a great idea. Seeing how dad's car lot business was keeping him away from home majority of the time. And mom's charity events kept her just as busy.
So I already knew that we wouldn't be going to Florida for our Annual Howard-summer trip to Pennsylvania. I knew me striking a deal with dad would somehow give me an advantage. I had to think harder and be a bit more clever than he was. Seeing how my dad owned over sixteen car lots, he was more than capable of making a deal you couldn't go against.
"I'm listening." he said leaning even further into the leathers couch, causing it to groan with the weight of him. I was nearly about to smile my ass off, but I had to contain my serious look. This is good. Really good. Never had I peaked his interest when I came to bargain with him.
"I'll use my own cash in the bank. You guys don't have to give me anything. I'll buy the groceries and keep the place clean and neat. I'll call a maid service to clean the place before I get there. If I can do this, I'm sorry," I re corrected myself "when I pull this off you have to let me go to Rome." I finished with a cocky grin. I knew I had plenty of time to prove to them I was capable of this. We were only in our second week of summer since school let out, and I had already graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Our two story house was quiet for a long time as each of us were lost in our thoughts. With every passing second I could feel my heart hammering in my chest from the rush of adrenaline.
My mother was the first to speak: "I love the idea! It's a perfect chance for her to show her independency."
I was overly thankful to God that I had a understanding mother. I silently thanked her with a small nod. Her chocolate skin glimmered in the sunset as she smiled at me. I moved my eyes back to my father and watched him my father shake his head for a quick second, and I felt my hope falter a little. "That won't do. You wont have a maid cleaning your room if you go to that University, or any other College for that matter. No maid service." he stated as he brought himself out the couch and standing to his full 6'1 height. My mother stood along with him, even though she was wearing high heels she was still four-inches shorter than my father.
"I know. I can clean it myself." I said nodding my head quickly. My hope spreading through out my body like a dam flooding a small town.
"Very well then. If you can manage to keep the house clean, and no Police involved what so ever, I'll accept your deal." My father stretched his hand out to me and I accepted it quickly, feeling myself smile like an idiot. "Under a few conditions." my father said as his grip tightened on my dark skinned hand and he eyes me warily.
"Okay." I just about whispered. I swallowed hard and stared back into his light brown eyes.
"No drugs in that house, no parties, no bringing an MTV crew into my house talking about 'The Real Life of a Kid living in A Summer Home for the entire Summer." I almost laughed when he mentioned that MTV thing. Instead I nodded my head understandingly and waited patiently for him to go on. "And on top of that, NO BOYS in the house!" his voice boomed through out our house. His voice bouncing off of the crème colored walls, and French marble floors. I sighed inwardly as I thought about my boyfriend Paul. He was one of the main reasons why my Summer home popped into my head.
He was going to be in Miami Florida for half of the Summer as well. But only I was going to be staying out in Ft, Lauderdale. I figured I could manage it somehow without breaking my fathers rules. Some part of me was going to rebel against the boy rule, but then again I quickly remembered my father having connections. I could do this. I would show my father I could be independent and would prove him wrong. I shook my fathers hand.
"Deal." I said staring back at him.

Chapter 4- Boredom, Groceries, Broken glass
Its been an entire week since I've been in Florida. And I had to say I was about to die of boredom. Paul was always partying, or going off with his parents to some Broadway show. He promised we'd go out tomorrow night. Just me and him alone. I was kind of happy about that seeing how I had ran out of things to do. Just sitting and watching movies on demand wasn't the most exciting thing to do while on Summer vacation.
We had a boat out back on the shipping docks, but it needed more than one person to do the sailing. So I guess that's how I ended up buying groceries for the house. Usually I'd just order offline and have some random guy to drop the food off. But I was honestly that bored. So I decided to take refuge inside of Publix.
A store that I did have fun in. But after going up and down of every isle twice, that got boring too. But I guess the best part about living in a Summer home by yourself is that you get to eat whatever you want and not hear anybody tell you its bad for you. So I bought the junkiest of junk food I could find in there. Ranging from Funyons to big bags of M&M's and big boxes of Neapolitan ice cream. I was sure to buy some cup noodles and frozen food.
"Hey Mariah!" I moved my head from behind the truck where I was lifting the first grocery bag and saw one of the Gunner boys standing by my side view mirror. I recognized his light blue eyes instantly.
"Um. Hey Caleb, right?" I gave him a small smile and hefted the bags on my hip.
"Yeah. Need some help?" he asked his top body leaned forward to me, but his feet stayed an inch behind him. He seemed to hesitate. I looked passed him and noticed that his brothers were filing out of the all white Escalade truck.
They wore tank tops and loose gym shorts. Their white tanned skin looked flush and sticky as they headed for their front door. None of them noticed me or Caleb. I moved my eyes back to Caleb and saw he looked the same as them.
"Yeah. Where are you guys coming from?" I asked while grabbing another brown paper bag and balancing it on my hip. Caleb speedily walked to the back of my truck and grabbed up four of the bags and followed me to the door.
"The gym."
So that explains it. I pushed the door open, grateful that I decided to unlock the door first, and walked through the cool house to the kitchen. I placed the groceries on the counter and motioned for him to do the same. As he put the bags down he let out a low whistle.
"Yeah, this house is worth over a million." Caleb said as he followed me back out the front door. I looked over my shoulder, causing my black hair to rub against my back and saw that he was walking slower. Admiring our house.
"Yeah. Maybe so."
I hefted another bag from the back and let Caleb take the last two.
"Mariah I thought it was only you staying in this house?" Caleb grunted as he lifted the two bags and followed in after me. His Nike running shoes kicked up small pebbles to my ankles.
"It is. I was just bored and decided to grocery shop." I admitted. I dropped the bag on the counter and moved to the other end and pulling the double door fridge open.
"So why do you have so many grocery bags?" he asked placing the last two bags on the counter and standing at the other end of it. I moved my head from the fridge and looked into Caleb's light blue eyes and felt myself become self conscious. I hoped he didn't look inside any of the bags.
Under any circumstances should a guy, especially a hot guy who has five other brothers just as hot as he is, know a girl has just bought over $200 worth of junk food.
"Uh… I was-" I was cut off by a guy calling Caleb's name. I could hear the voice ringing through out the house, from my front door being left open. The deep voice called Caleb's name again and it got louder.
"I gotta go. See you around M." Caleb said giving me a small smile and taking off for the front door. "And don't worry. I closed your trucks trunk." he called over his shoulder. His dark brown hair flew behind him like a cape as he shut the door.
I frowned.
I was alone again. In a way I enjoyed Caleb Gunners company. Even though we didn't say much about one another, it was still nice to have an actual human being standing beside you talking, instead of watching the weather woman. The open door refrigerators chill, reminded me that I needed to put up groceries. I walked over to the bags and pushed them all to the end of the counter, so they could be closer to the pantry closet and fridge.
** ** **
I stepped out of the steaming shower room and felt my feet meet with the plush soft material of the rug. I smiled contently. My muscles still felt extremely sore from the work out video I had been watching for the past four hours. After doing power squats and an odd double digit number of sit ups my body was aching.
I wrapped the towel around me more warily when I felt the cool chill of the air condition sweep through out the house. I could feel my breast squeeze together and swell up over the towel. I heard the faint song of Hollywood undead playing in my room. I quickly walked through the steamy bathroom and into the chilled room. I walked over to the nightstand and grabbed my phone. I pushed the green button.
"Are you up?" I heard Paul whisper slowly into the phone. I smiled like an idiot when I didn't hear anyone in the background. I knew this tone all too well and walked out of the room slowly.
"Yes." I whispered back into the phone. I could hear Paul breathing on the other end and felt my heart pick up a little. I wrapped one arm around my towel covered waist and moved down the stairs one by one.
"I missed you today." his voice was low and husky.
His voice still and quiet as he said the next words: "I wish you were here right now, with me. You know what I'd do?"
My smile didn't falter as my feet left the, isle running carpet, and onto the chilly marble floor. I moved to the kitchen opening the fridge, the bright light spilling out messily onto the floor.
"Let me guess? Do me all night and make me scream?" I asked while lowering my head to the second shelf. I knew I should have been playing along with Paul but I wanted him to chase me a little. It was way more sexier that way.
Paul exhaled into the phone: "No. I'd kiss you tenderly and hold you tight in my arms until the sunlight shines on your chocolate skin and make me fall even harder for you."
I couldn't help but smile even wider. Now this. This is why me and Paul had lasted for so long. Yes he could be a party animal at times, but he could be so unpredictable at times. I liked the sweet and tender side of him. Even though Paul and I had ever done IT, that didn't stop either of us from having phone sex. Or having an underwear party when either of us was over the others house.
"Oh really?" I asked. Even though me and Paul were in a sexual mood, I skipped over the strawberries, and instead grabbed the tortilla salsa sauce and bag of tortilla chips. These two ingredients were the best to me when they were chilled.
"Oh yes. I love tasting your skin. It's sweeter than chocolate." he breathed into the phone. I heard him lean back in his bed, from the sound of the bed springs that protested against his weight. I was about to turn from the fridge when I caught the moons light on something bright and silvery. I shouldered my phone, and placed the items on the counter. My feet left the cool tile floor and was met with the warm carpet of the living room. The glittering object seemed to split into a million different pieces as I neared it.
"…..Babe your special…" I could just barely hear Paul from my pounding heart. I couldn't hear what he was saying anymore, I couldn't feel the cold creeping through the house, because that wasn't what I was focusing on.
My eyes focused on the sliding back door of our house. The broken glass shimmered in the moons light as I stopped in front of it. My pulse had quickened and I could hear my heart pounding in my ears at the realization. Someone had broken in. They were inside the house……
Oooh, you left us hangin:(
i loved it though, awesome!
cant wait for the next chapter

Future Generations and Contemporary Ethics
AbstractFuture generations do not exist, and are not determinate in their make-up. The moral significance of future generations cannot be accounted for on the basis of a purely individualistic ethic. Yet future generations are morally significant. The Person-Affecting Principle, that (roughly) only acts which are likely to affect particular individuals are morally significant, must be augmented in such a way as to take into account the moral significance of Homo sapiens, a holistic entity which certainly does exist. Recent contributions to Environmental Values by Alan Carter and Ernest Partridge are criticised (but not entirely rejected).

As a retired career Armor Officer, I have served with many fine ladies during my time, all in non-combat arms branches. There is a lot more to being an armored crewman than just shooting and I doubt there is much different in hand/eye coordination these days with all the video games. How about breaking track, changing roadwheels, humping ammo for a 120mm gun and countless other tasks that require a lot of upper body strenght? Everyone on the crew has to pull their weight. As you know, women with child are not deployable. You can get away with a lot if you only intend to fight counterinsurgencies. I bet the Chinese and Russians are laughing themselves silly.

From Mom Insomnia to Sweet Dreams
In honor of National Sleep Awareness Week, we turned to Mom•Logic sleep expert, Jill Spivack, for advice.
1. Exercise when you can. Get some fresh air each day. Take the stroller to the mall or walk around the block with the older kids after dinner.
2. Schedule your bedtime. Keep to approximately the same bedtime every night and wake up about the same time each morning--set your alarm if your kids aren't reliable!
3. Create a good sleep environment. Set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature (68-70 degrees) and make sure your room is dark and quiet.
4. Use your bed for sleep and sex only. Avoid eating, watching TV or reading in bed.
5. Breathe yourself to sleep. Climb into bed, take a deep breath in, and count to five. Then hold your breath, counting to five again. Then blow out slowly once again, counting to 5. Do this exercise 5 times and you'll be conked out! Your brain can't think about anything when you're counting and your body will become relaxed while you breathe deeply.
Good site! Nice to read. I've got a opinion to offer about shirts.

Although I am certain I ordered two of the round orange rubber shooting targets thru your online catalog, the package arrived with two of the cubical orange rubber targets. Perhaps the picture of the product was the wrong one (it showed a round target). There is a chance I just screwed up and selected the wrong product, but I don't think so. Now I'm out the cost and trouble to return the two I was sent, but did not want. Now I don't know how to order the two targets I really wanted...

Found these a little cheaper elsewhere, but should hold up to some long use.
Interesting to see how this is going to work....I am thinking I can use it with my 1911 .45, then my Saiga 12 gauge and then my Ruger SR556 M4 rifle. I will find out the next time I am at the range.
more fun shooting bottle caps or marble
Great fun

Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
Problem with using Task Scheduler to open Excel file
I want to use the Task Scheduler to open an Excel file. The Excel file contains a macro that automatically runs when the file is opened. At the end of the routine the macro saves the file and closes the Excel application using the following commands:
When I open this excel file in a normal way, such as double-clicking on the file, the macro runs successfully and Excel closes. However, when I use the Task Scheduler to open the excel file, the Excel Application does not close when the routine is finished.
Note that Ive tried using the Task Scheduler to open this Excel file on other computers that are running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 and it works flawlessly. Im only having this issue on a computer that is running the 32 bit version. Any ideas?

State, Federal Government Continue Talks Over Hanford Tank Cleanup
By Anna King
Washington State and the federal government just gave themselves a new deadline to resolve leaking tanks containing radioactive waste at Hanford. If you think you've heard that before - you have.
The deadline follows an earlier 40-day-deadline that expired at the beginning of June with no clean up plan in place. State and federal officials hope this second try will fair better. Hanford experts and a gaggle of lawyers from both sides plan to meet privately next week in the Seattle area. It's all over how to clean up 56-million-gallons of radioactive waste stored in aging underground tanks at Hanford.
The state of Washington says it wants the federal government to set and keep a timely schedule, something that's been lacking so far. The U.S. Department of Energy will only say talks with the state have been productive. Both sides are trying to avoid legal action that could further delay actual cleanup work at Hanford.

Gotta get training!
Run Run Run!
healthypositive-deactivated2013 said: Welcome back! I just started slacking off because i've lost so much. Keep telling myself that indulging a bit wont hurt. Not skipping the gym or anything but definitely have been less strict about nutrition. So your post was an eye opener. Good luck with everything and if you need anything just stop by my blog!
thanks! it's great to be back :) I'm excited and nervous - but HERE WE GO.
I don't even know what to say. It has been a really really long time since I have made a post on here. But honestly, I
want need to come back.
I thought I was doing fine in maintain being healthy without being so strict. I thought "I lost 45 pounds - that's great. You can relax a bit and not track today. You don't need the gym today. You don't need the gym this week. You don't need to exercise this month….."
Well here I am, 12 pounds heavier and can barely run a mile without wanting to take a break. I remember when I could run 2.5 and feel like a bad ass (and that was only last summer). I want to get back there.
I am back to tracking, I am back to gym-ing. I am back.
Send me words of encouragement. Join me on this journey. I want to get back into high gear, and would love your help. Let's go!

this shirt is making its debut today :)
p.s.- i know i've been pretty much MIA, but don't worry- i am still eating healthy food, and i am running at least 2x each week! I'm just not posting about it every day!! I am working hard to keep focused, but i am trying to integrate being healthy into my daily life instead of integrating my life into being healthy.
Woke up this morning to see that I finally broke out of the 230s for the first time in weeks! I don't really care about the number too much, but it's always nice to see the scale movin' in the preferred direction :)

Refugees accepted for resettlement overseas are welcomed into the United States with open arms and a package of benefits. But those who flee to the U.S. on their own and request asylum from a "well-founded fear of persecution" once they get here can find themselves taken immediately to jail. These sometimes illegal entrants are do-it-yourself refugees. Those who have shown a "credible fear" of persecution in their homeland can be allowed to remain free until their immigration hearings. But if there's concern that they won't show up for those hearings, or that they present a threat to the community, the government detains them. Sometimes, critics charge, asylum seekers are locked up for questionable political reasons.
That's precisely what is happening to some 165 asylum seekers from Haiti who have been imprisoned in Miami since the grounding of their ship on December 3, advocates claim. A lawsuit filed by advocates in March charges racist treatment by the Bush administration, which changed its detention policy on Haitian asylum seekers as an object lesson for other Haitians who might seek refuge from the impoverished and unstable nation, which is racked by human rights abuses. U.S. Attorneys said in court filings that the blanket detention of Haitians was intended "to discourage further risk-taking and to avoid an immigration crisis of the magnitude which existed during the early 1980s and 1990s with the Haitian and Cuban mass migrations."
UNHCR objected to this reasoning in a mid-April statement, asserting that using detention as a deterrent is "contrary to international standards" and amounts to "arbitrary detention." What's more, the lawsuit charges, the detainees are being held in unsanitary and overcrowded conditions, and their proceedings are being so rushed that they can't find lawyers or prepare their claims.
"If the government was truly concerned about saving lives, it would make sure that these Haitians had a full and fair opportunity to make their case for asylum," says Cheryl Little, director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, which is spearheading the lawsuit. "There is no refugee processing taking place in Haiti," she adds, "so the only way Haitians fleeing persecution can attempt to save their lives is to attempt to make it to shore here and apply for asylum. At the very least, we should be making sure their due-process rights are protected."

What makes someone "interesting" and how does this affect their level of attractiveness?
I'm struggling with this concept of interesting. Is being "interesting" purely down to defined traits and characteristics of a human being such as personality, interests and hobbies or something else entirely more magical and intangible?
Topics: attraction behavior love perception
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 19 2012: This is not universal. If we look at Myers-Briggs or Strength-finder or whatever, we see so many ways that human personalities vary. I would expect what is interesting to vary from person-to-person. To truly ansser this question I would also consider the nature of the person that I want to interest. So - Be interesting to me Be interesting to a specific person be interesting to a specific type. The first is given unless I am concerned about results with others. The next two reqauire specific technologies. One of the best know is neurolinguistic programming. Go to it, but remember that some of the world's most remarkable people and subjects may not be interesting to you.
Oct 19 2012: Thanks George, that's an insightful perspective, and shows that one person's definition of interesting is entirely subjective and unique, so who I find interesting could be a total bore in the eyes of the next person.
I like how you've flipped it too and alluded to the possibility that when we think someone is interesting they might not actually be as interesting as we think they are, rather they're using some cunning NLP strategies to deem themselves interesting in our eyes for purely romantic purposes!

We both tried something different from the first time and we were once again completely amazed with the incredible taste, quality of ingredients and presentation of the meal. The outstanding food, authentic atmosphere and helpful staff make this a perfect choice for the experienced sushi fan or the novice needing a bit a guidance. The food will impress you. The staff will keep you coming back. Give'm a try. Both times we've been here it's been busy, so I highly recommend making reservations with OpenTable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

There is always something new on the menu. White wine list is a little limited by the glass, but their house chardonay is good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They hooked me!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/20/2014I have never really had sushi, but this place hooked me! We were visiting San Diego for my wife's birthday, and found Azuki Sushi Lounge through web recommendations. I didn't see a single bad review, and the place lived up to the name. I had a lot of questions, being new to sushi, and they took the time to walk me through what I might like, and I loved everything that I tried! They knew that it was her birthday, and seated us in a corner location, which I greatly appreciated; and they brought us complimentary dessert. We ate upstairs and very much enjoyed the decor. It was removed from the downtown restaurant scene, but had all of the makings of a "must-dine," hotspot. I would definitely go back if I was in the area, it was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious fishOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/18/2014Reasonably priced and sizable portions. Crab miso was excellent with hunks of shellfish like clams and crab without skimping. Nigiri included ankimo by request which was not the best i've had, but was still delicious. Also had omu masi (?) which was a fattier version of a salmon, baby snapper and some of the best blue fin i have ever had. Garlic edamame were a nice take on a classic. Ponzu sauce on seared toro was top notch and everything was beautifully displayed in all cases. Overall some pretty spectacular food for the price.Special Features:
- Easy Sushi Date Night SpotMelRuthWDined on 4/14/2014This place was great. Loved the spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer. Wasn't a huge fan of the bonsai roll, but my boyfriend liked it. Love the back patio area. It's enclosed, and just the right temperature for a 7pm dinner in San Diego. Very pleased with our visit. Will definitely be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Birthday Dinner!stvi04Dined on 4/4/2014I had a perfect Birthday dinner Friday night, with 9 of my friends. I absolutely love this place!! The sushi bar is so much fun, as well as their upstairs covered patio. They can host small or large parties. The food is amazing, and so is the entire staff of chefs, hostesses, servers, etc.. This is my 3rd year of having my birthday dinner there. I have had a small group and two large groups. I get the same, wonderful service each time! Highly recommend!!Special Features:
- Horrible seating; not a decentOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 3/29/2014Horrible seating; not a decent table in the house. Regardless of table seated at, half of the party is facing a wall. All tables are way too close to each other; no privacy or peace. Been here numerous times and have tried but just can't do it ever again; will never be back. What a shame because the food is fresh and delicious. Waiter was overwhelmed. Very, very inappropriately loud customers that evening that should not have been ignored by management.
- Good food but terrible serviceBrentDined on 3/21/2014Excellent quality fish and nice space but horrible service. Went there for lunch today with 6 people. It would be fine if you want to share food and eat over the course of an hour or more. We all ordered our own meal and they brought 2 people's food and then 20 minutes later 2 more and then 20 minutes later one more and finally an hour after the first person I got my food. Everybody was long done! I was never asked if I want another drink or how everything was. That's why it only gets 2 stars.
- first bad experienceJoJoDined on 3/13/2014We always go there and always have received good service. This one time we went for dinner, the service was slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Fab DinnerVoraciousVVIPDined on 2/21/2014Every time we dine at Azuki we are treated like old friends. The fish is always fresh and delicious, and they are very concerned about sustainability. We are mostly fans of sashimi but their rolls are fabulous--not heavy on the rice. Do your taste buds a favor and dine at Azuki Sushi Lounge!Special Features:
- Great New Flavors Jelepeno on 1JesseGreenwoodDined on 2/21/2014Awesome Service! Thanks for NEW GOOD flavors in SUSHIE! (But unsure is SUSTAINABLE & is from Fresh Caught-NATURAL (Non-GMO)Fish? & a bit EXPENSIVE (w drinks & too bad didn't Charge me the SPECIAL PRICES even a Little AFTER 6, seeing as the Buyer was a guy out of work & wasn't even drinking & just paying for young friends drinks! & Really Great Recommendations by Waitress! Thanks cutieSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly SurprisedHeresTheScoopDined on 2/21/2014We were going to a business in the area so we were looking for a sushi restaurant close by. There were several to choose from but my daughter chose this one and we're so glad she did. We made reservations for the beginning of there dinner service. At first glance, from the street, it seems to be a tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant however, it was more spacious than it looked. Just inside you'll find a nice sushi bar and cozy lounge area. The real hidden gem however, is the spacious, mostly enclosed, outdoor patio dining area, where we ate. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly & knowledgeable. The food & beverage selection was excellent. The food was OUTSTANDING! We will definitely eat here again and recommend to friends/family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one of the bestBritVIPDined on 2/14/2014This place is really awesome. The server had great recommendation. Every thing that my boyfriend and I ordered was amazing. A place I would recommend to everyoneSpecial Features:
- Date NightSpells619Dined on 2/14/2014My wife was craving a great date night with top notch sushi and Azuki delivered. Even though it was V-Day abd was late for reservations we were seated immediately. This is a neighborhood gem nestled in Bankers Hill. Great food and attentive staff. Will be back soon. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High Grade Sushi?KensanDined on 2/14/2014While Azuki is a passable sushi bar, it's not a great one. The fish is not outstanding or fabulously fresh, at least when I was there. And fresh fish should have been the order of the day: it was Valentine's Day. The people were nice, the presentation good, prices were not too bad, but no dedicated Japanese sushi chef would be proud to put his name on it. Lots of rolls of various types, but only passable nigiri. If you don't have much experience with sushi, you'll probably love the place. But if you've been to Japan, or lived in cities like LA ad SF, and eaten at spots like Sushi Nozawa, Matsuhisa, Sushi-Ran, or the former Kabuto, you'll not be likely to make this your first choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent SushiOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 2/14/2014First time customers. We sat at the bar and the chef was great! Made a coupe of recommendations which were really good! Great food and service! We will be back very soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceFlateezyVIPDined on 2/13/2014Azuki's ambiance and service was excellent. We loved our server and the busboy was always there to refill our waters. The food was very good, especially the fatty salmon sashimi and spicy tuna crispy rice. The 2 special rolls were very good, sunshine and one other but wasn't blown away. We tried the hamachi collarbone and it was tasty but low flavor. Overall we had an amazing time though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Azuki always pleasesDavidVIPDined on 2/8/2014Amazing food, wonderful ambience and convient to all the San Diego Downtown venues (Symphony Hall, Civic Theater, Gaslamp and Convention Center). That's why we keep coming back. Thank you, Azuki!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent & yummy!RoslynDined on 2/5/2014One of my favorite places for lunch or dinner. The food is always fresh and delicious. Love the salmon and risotto. Also love the tempura, light and not greasy. Sushi is always beautiful and creative.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

In recent days, we've talked about the disastrous attempt by the Washington Post to sell access to Washington decision-makers, as well as to its own editors and reporters, and about Ralph Reed's betrayal of his religious-right followers in return for casino cash. This morning, the topic was the distorting, corrupting influence of money and politics in setting defense spending.
But in terms of audacity, this one, from Politico, may take the cake:
"The American Conservative Union asked FedEx for a check for $2 million to $3 million in return for the group's endorsement in a bitter legislative dispute, then flipped and sided with UPS after FedEx refused to pay.
For the $2 million plus, ACU offered a range of services that included: "Producing op-eds and articles written by ACU's Chairman David Keene and/or other members of the ACU's board of directors. (Note that Mr. Keene writes a weekly column that appears in The Hill.)"

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars February 26, 2004
I've played this before.
That's the version I played.
The controls are way too black and white. You can't thrust and turn at the same time, you have to do one, or the other.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 7, 2004
your all sissies.
this game is awsome. and nobody should even be complaining about the controls; they're exactly the same as a regular asteroids game. i got up to shooting 5 bullets at once. >:) anyway, awsome game.. the only complaint i have, and this didnt even bother me that much, but i think yo should switch the shoot button and the plasma grenade button. you use the shoot a lot more often, you know.. so. yeah. anyway, great game.
im giving you a five. >:)

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars August 6, 2003
Help I creamed my pants...ohhh
I had to give you a zero for sound because I've no sound card. The controls at first were hard but you just have to remember that you have a very basic axis of direction, around, foward and backwards. If you could make the ship go SIDEWAYS the game would last longer. You should also make more extra weapons other craft to shoot up.

The Winnitron project will soon be moving to it's new home on winnitron.com with new forums and a new launcher on it's way. We'll be leaving the Winnitron.ca site as is for a while during the transition, but please follow @winnitron1000 on twitter for news or, sign up for the newsletter here.
If you want to contact us about the new project, please email us at email@example.com
Back to your regularily scheduled website!
The Winnitron 1000 is a free-to-play independent video game arcade cabinet featuring new games created by indie game developers from Winnipeg and across the globe!
The goal of the Winnitron 1000 is to inspire and encourage Winnipeg game developers to become active members of the independent video game community.
The creation of the Winnitron 1000 is a joint effort between 6 individuals: Alec Holowka, Marlon Wiebe, Noel Berry, Kert Gartner, Tom Rab and Joel Forest. This group of individuals collectively calls themselves the Bit Collective.
The Winnitron 1000 currently lives at LoPub, located at 330 Kennedy St. in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Winnitron 1000 will occasionally make special appearances at "theme parties" and other events which will be announced on this site.
"The Winnitron is a really fun way to celebrate the history of video games, while inspiring the local game developer community to build brand new games to share with a social audience." — Alec Holowka (Infinite Ammo)

If you want to get in touch with the creators of the Winnitron 1000, you can find out more info about us at The Bit Collective.
The History of the Winnitron 1000
The idea for the Winnitron 1000 came out of the first Winnipeg game jam, which took place in spring of 2010. One of the initial inspirations was The Torontron, created by the Hand Eye Society in Toronto. The idea floated around for a few months until the fall of 2010, when we started to move forward with the idea…
The first step was to either buy, build or salvage an old arcade cabinet… We called a bunch of places in Winnipeg that actively rent out old arcade machines, and started to get an idea what our options were. We went to three "arcade graveyards" in Winnipeg, and in the end, we settled on a small, and relatively light machine that looked like it could be modified to what we needed.
The Winnitron 1000 was forged from a refurbished 80′s arcade cabinet named Total Carnage. The machine needed a lot of love, which included gutting the machine, and doing a total replacement of the control panel. Total Carnage was set up as a dual stick shooter, which wasn't the control scheme we had in mind. Kert got in touch with a friend's dad who does sheet metal work, and he cut a new piece of aluminum for our new control panel. It turned out even more sexy than we could have hoped for.
Joel Forrest, who has manufactured a few cabinets on his own, helped us drill the holes into the new sheet of aluminum. Once everything was put together, it looked fantastic. The cabinet was sanded down, and repainted a deep shade of blue, with some orange stripes to mirror the colours in the Winnitron logo.
Winnitron 1000 Game Jam
It was a bit of a mad dash to get it all togther since we were under a bit of a time crunch. We wanted to have the cabinet playable at the Winnitron 1000 game jam later that month… The goal of the Jam was to create some original games specifically created for the Winnitron 1000.
After the game jam, the Winnitron 1000 sat idle for a little while, while Alec worked on the launcher software, and Noel Berry worked out some of the bugs in the PHP software that runs the Winnitron statistics. We're keeping track of which games are played, and for how often because, well, stats are awesome. Alec and Noel added the ability for the Winnitron 1000 to update itself over the internet by downloading new games, and uploading high scores and achievements to Twitter and Facebook. Games have to be specifically coded to support these features, and we encourage all developers to add this to their games.
The Winnitron 1000 had a small public appearance at a local career day, and at Demo Camp, where it tried (and failed) to take over the world…
Data Dance: Level 1
The first "real" unveiling of the Winnitron 1000 took place at an event called Data Dance: Level 1, which was Winnipeg's first Chip Tune dance party. The event was organized by Skot Deeming, aka Mr. Ghosty. The event was a huge success, not only for Winnipeg, but for the Winnitron as well. There was always a crowd around the machine, and it was played constantly the entire night. The evening Featured 8-bit chiptune DJ sets by: DeActiVision (aka cut stickens), Bit Cadet (aka trrrl) and, decade forward (mrghosty's dj project).
An overview of the night can be found here, on Kert Gartner's blog, or you can see the night unfold in video form below:
The Winnitron NL
On January 5th 2011, Vlambeer the Dutch Game Garden and Paul Veer, in co-operation with the Bit Collective announced their own version of the Winnitron called the Winnitron NL.
Dutch Game Garden is dedicated to supporting the Dutch Game-scene and supplied a homebase for the WINNITRON NL and the cabinet it is housed in. The Dutch Game Garden seeks to accelerate the growth of the Dutch mainstream indie scene by providing wide-ranging support for starting and established game developers in the Netherlands, organizing game jams, meetings and events – among which Indigo, a showcase of Dutch independent games.
More information on the Winnitron NL can be found on the Vlambeer Blog…
Future of the Winnitron 1000
So what's in store for the Winnitron 1000? We hope that over the coming months, that the Winnitron develops a strong following in Winnipeg, and more Winnitrons begin to spread around globe… There's already talk of new Winnitrons in Calgary, Vancouver, Seattle, and even Brazil…
If you would like to donate to the Winnitron project, please feel free. All the money collected will go towards the maintenance and creation of additional Winnitron arcade machines in Winnipeg and beyond.
If you are interested in getting your game on the Winnitron 1000, or if you want to create your own Winnitron indie game arcade machine, please let us know! Check out the Contact page and send us an email!
Contributrors to the Winnitron 1000
There have been far more people than the 5 main contributors listed at the top of this page that have had a hand in the creation and maintenance of the Winnitron 1000. Here's a list of them all in no particular order:
Alec Holowka: Alec helped kick-start the the indie game scene in Winnipeg though organizing the first game jam in the city. He's also an amazing programmer, musician and actor. Alec created the Winnitron 1000 launcher software. Alec also created Trash Pilot in a few hours at the Winnitron 1000 game jam. Paper Moon is also partly Alec's creation and can also be played on the machine. Alec also made the executive decision that we should order yellow t-moulding for the Winnitron 1000. It was a wise decision.
Tom Rab: Tom helped with the creation of the launcher and monitor software that is at the heart of the Winnitron 1000. Tom is also coding a game called "Precipice: The Game of Love". Tom also created a piece of software that will allow us to take screen-shots of games in progress on the Winnitron 1000 and upload them to this website.
Marlon Wiebe: The guy that said "Hey we should really do this". Was nice enough to ask his brother Kurt if we were able to store the Winnitron 1000 at his place while we worked on it. Provided valuable drill and sawing skills. Marlon also painted the cabinet. Just a handyman you say? No way! He also created Sumo Topplers and the logo for the Winnitron 1000! Did I mention he wired the control panel too? Currently, you'll find Marlon skipping class at Red River, since he's building a space shuttle in his back yard.
Noel Berry: Noel is actually a 38 year old programmer with 20 years of experience somehow transported into the body of a 18 year old high school student. Noel is responsible for coding the website which you are currently enjoying, and the statistical tracking software that is hidden away inside the Winnitron 1000. That's right, we know when you're sleeping, we know when you're awake… We also know how long you've played every game on the Winnitron 1000. This information will eventually be sold to Facebook and Google for millions of dollars. While we wait for Google's phone call, we're making cool looking pie charts! Noel also created Leap for Blue, which you can play on the Winnitron 1000.
Kert Gartner: General organizer of most things to do with the Winnitron 1000 and creator of the Canabalt: 2 player and Super Crate Box Versus trailers. Phoned all the arcade graveyards in the city to see what we could get and provided valuable transportation services (IE, he's the only one with a car). Kert also provided the motion graphics, marquee and bezel design for the Winnitron 1000. Kert hooked us up with a place for the Winnitron game jam (through New Media Manitoba), the computer hardware and LCD screen.
Irv Halprin. Irv is one of the owners of Allied Coin, and graciously supplied us with the Winnitron 1000 cabinet for free. Irv is an awesome guy, and has been in the arcade/entertainment business for over 30 years. He even delivered the Winnitron 1000 (which was a total carnage machine at the time) to Marlon's brother's house for no charge in his truck with custom arcade seat-belts. Top notch dude.
Graham Potts: Kert's friend who knows things about tools and metal and stuff. His dad works in sheet metal and managed to cut and bend us a new aluminum control panel for free. Thanks Gord Potts!
Joel Forest: Drilled holes in our new aluminum control panel, and provided feedback and general knowledge on the creation of an arcade cabinet. Joel has created his own cabinets in the past and has an insane MAME machine in his basement. He can also eat double wieners like a pro!
Sean Cody: Provided gnome services, in addition to figuring out why our USB WiFi stick wasn't working at Lo Pub. Also provided some hardware to make the keyboard and mouse inside the machine easier to use. He's the man with the plan to fix the cooling issue we currently have inside of the Winnitron 1000. Windows 7 x64 WPA issues are no match for his IT kung fu!
Edwin Amsler: Provided valuable wiring services to make the new cooling fans work with a normal AC plug. This will potentially save the Winnitron 1000 from turning into a pool of jello.
Jack Jonasson and the LoPub: Jack owns the Lo Pub, where the Winnitron 1000 currently resides. Jack has been 100% behind the machine, and has taken loving care of it for the last few weeks.
