We had so much good stuff from our last "Barn Finds" story that we decided to carry it over and do Part Two, as promised. In the next pages you'll find a bunch of really cool old cars plucked out of the boonies and brought back to life. Hopefully, this will spur you all on to unearth these hidden treasures and save them from extinction. And when you do, make sure to take lots of photos and send them to us, 'cause we never get tired of this stuff.
A Real Uncle DanielSee all that stuff in the background? This is Alan's shop, Alan Mest Auto Restoration (310/532-8657), which deals in early Ford parts.>
That's how the feature on this Model A was titled way back in the Sept. '55 issue of HOT ROD magazine, when the car was owned by Southern California's Kurt Wiese. The '28 A was actually featured in Hop Up magazine two years before that in the Mar. '53 issue, when it was owned by its original builder, Norm Jennings. Norm had hot rodded it, then sold it to Kurt, who eventually gave it one of the first small-block Chevy swaps. Eventually Kurt tore the car apart with plans to redo it but never got around to it. Enter Alan Mest, who worked with Kurt in the fire department and convinced Kurt to sell him the disassembled car in the early '70s. Alan built a flathead and put the car back together, and that's pretty much how it sits today, 35-plus years later. Comparing the car to those early HOT ROD and Hop Up stories shows neither any real difference in the parts nor any aging in the car, which is surprising since it still gets driven every now and then. It's a true survivor. -Rob Kinnan
Mr. Voodoo AHRA C/MS CorvetteOld drag cars face unique challenges to long-term survival. Not only do they risk destruction in the heat of quarter-mile battle, but as technology marches on they can quickly become obsolete and get swept by the wayside-or worse, parted out and junked. Old Corvette drag cars face yet another threat in the form of potential restorers. These guys don't see a preserved racetrack refugee from days past, but rather a concourse-correct show queen just waiting to happen. That's all well and good, but if Robert Marlatt has any say in the matter, this particular '58 Corvette is going to stay exactly the way you see it here, straight axle, purple paint, and all. Yes, it is an original four-speed, dual-quad car, but more importantly, this is Mr. Voodoo. Originally built and campaigned by James Sparacino of Dallas, Texas, in the mid-'60s, Mr. Voodoo was a regular at Green Valley Raceway, one of the premiere AHRA- sanctioned tracks at the time. There, Mr. Voodoo ran in the C/Modified Sports Car class with a screaming small-block and four-speed. To this day, Robert says total strangers-of a certain age-come up to him and rave about how James used to rev the Mouse to the moon before sidestepping the clutch. When the front wheels jumped off the strip, fans always gave a round of applause. Though James fell ill and passed away decades ago, family members continued to run Mr. Voodoo until it was parked in a family garage around 1977. And there it sat until it was trucked out to the '07 Bakersfield March Meet swap meet by friends of the Sparacino family. That's where Robert found it and traded a cherry '59 El Camino plus some cash for the groovy relic. Fresh brakes, a tune-up, new U-joints, and tires were all it took to wake Mr. Voodoo from his 30-year slumber. -Steve Magnante

Chris Rock should not ever do any voice acting in any animated film....That's all...I saw this movie, but I don't want to say any more about it. Just that they truly tailored it to fit his personality. Go ahead - try to imagine that storyline with virtually any other actor...you can't, can you? That's just bad film practice.

After the Boxster S Black Edition and the Carrera Black Edition , Porsche has launched the third model in the Black Edition series. It is called the Cayman S Black Edition and will be limited to only 500 units. The new model will go on sale this July and will be priced at $67,500 on the US market.
Like with the other Black Edition models, the new Cayman S Black Edition will be offered with an extra 10 HP under the hood that will push the Cayman in terms of performance. The Cayman's top speed is increased by 1.24 mph to 172 mph with the PDK and the 0 to 60 mph is improved by a tenth of a second leaving it at 5.0 seconds with the PDK. Not a heart-stopping improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.
The new Cayman S Black Edition will be distinguished by black exterior paint combined with black 19 inch wheels and black partial leather and dashboard trim on the interior.
Updated 08/09/2011: Porsche has unveiled a new promotional video for the special edition Cayman S Black Edition in which they prove that some things need to be black. Enjoy!
Hit the jump to read more about the Porsche Cayman S Black Edition.
Exterior and Interior
Like with all the other Black Edition models, the new Cayman S Black Edition will be offered with black exterior paint combined with 19" black wheels. The exterior package will also add Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights.
The interior of the Black Edition will get black partial leather on the driver and passenger seats, climate control, a Sport Design steering wheel, and cruise control. The dashboard will also be offered in black, while the door entry guards will be emblazoned with "Black Edition" lettering made of stainless steel. The Sound Package Plus will add Porsche Communication Management (PCM), a navigation module, and a universal audio interface (AUX, USB, iPod).
Under the hood, the new special edition Cayman S Black edition will use a 3.4 liter six-cylinder boxer engine with an increase of 10 HP. This brings the total output to 330 HP at 7,400 rpm, while peak torque remains unchanged at 272 lb-ft at 4,750 rpm.
The sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be improved by a tenth of a second to 5.1 seconds with the six-gear manual transmission and to 5.0 seconds with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK). Top speed has also been increased by 1.24 mph: 173 mph with the manual transmission and 172 mph with the PDK .
The new Cayman S Black Edition will go on sale July 2011, and will be priced starting at $67,500 on the US market. There will only be 500 units built.
With such a miniscule change in power output and performance, the Cayman S Black Edition will have to face the standard Cayman S' usual competitors like the Audi TTS and the base version of the Chevrolet Corvette .
On the US market, the Audi TTS is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged, in-line four-cylinder engine with an output of 265 HP and is priced from $47,000. The Chevrolet Corvette is on sale with prices starting from $49,000 and customers will have the possibility of choosing from several engines delivering between 430 HP up to 638 HP. Both of these options are much cheaper than the Porsche Cayman S Black Edition, but the Porsche brings the highly acclaimed title of being a special edition Porsche.
- Special edition Porsches are always a bonus
- More powerful engine
- Faster
- Comes in limited edition
- More expensive than competition

Finally got around to finishing the rest of these. Half of these I already posted and half are new, it just made more sense to add them into the existing document.
Ive got a lot of character, item, and asset art to get around to, and am trying to get caught up in that region a bit.

What is the sedimentation coefficient?
Measured by density gradient centrifugation. S value of a molecule determined by mass and structure of a molecule.
Roles of rRNA
Structural element
Translation initiation
Catalyzed the peptide bond formation
How do antibiotics work?
Many work on by specifically binding and inhibiting prokaryotic ribosomes
tRNA functions
1. Carring the amino acid at its acceptor arm
2. decoding the codon
3. Help the peptide bond formation
tRNA structure
Acceptor Arm,
D Loop
L Loop
Variable Loop
Arm - 5' CCA 3' holds amino acid
D-loop contains two dihydrouridine
T-Loop - contains pseudouridine
Variable loop - varies 4-13nt
Anticodonloop - bases of anticodon flip out and often contain inosine (for wobble pairing)
What prevents different open reading frames from happening?
Frame shifts often have many stop codons that prevent copying of frame shifts
Trinucleotide experiment
64 tubes containing one codon. With other translational material and one of 20 amino acids. Pass each reaction on a NC filter. Only ribosome-mRNA-tRNA amino acid complex can bind to NC filter.
If the radioactive maino acid is recognized by and attached to the correct tRNA, it was radioacitvely labeled.
20 sets of 64 reactions required to break genetic code.
Stop codons and initiation codons
Stop: UAA UGA UAG
Initiation: AUG
Define degeneration
Which amino acids are degenerated?
Which are not?
Genetic codes are redundant.
Arginine, Leucine, Serine are all degenerated the most
Methioinine and Tryptophan are not degenerated
(Methionine is the first one)
Wobble base pairing and how is this accomplished?
One anticodon of tRNA can recognize and base pair with more than one degenerate codons encoding the same amino acid
U with A or G
or G with U or C
, can base pair with A, C and U
Aminoacyl-tRNA, how is it made? and where does amino acid attach to tRNA
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARS) attaches amino acid to tRNA. Cells have 20 ARS recognizes tRNA by its acceptor arm.
ARS proofreads and remove mistakenly incorporated residues
Using ATP, ARS covalently attaches amino acid to the 5' phosphate group of AMP
ARS transfers amino acid from AMP to 3' -OH group of tRNA
Prokaryotic translation initiation
Starts after the Shine Dalgarno Sequence (SDS) 5bp upstream from translation initiation AUG. Base pairs with 16S-rRNA. Can also use S1 to determine initiation
Can have multiple SDS, all work independently
Initiation factors (1) prevent two free ribosome subunits from binding to each other and (2) help assemble 30S initiation complex.
Always starts with formylated methionine
Eukaryotic translation initiation
First Kozak sequence always used, AUG part of Kozack. First met is often acetylated. Initiation factors preventing bonding of subunits and also help initiate translation.
Eukaryotic initiation factor 4
eIF4E - binds to cap
eIF4G - adaptor protein can bind to many other proteins, and binds to polyA tail, creating circular mRNA
eIF4A - RNA helicase activity
eIF4H - stimulates eIF4A helicase cativity
Regulation of translation initiation
mTOR, insulin
5' UTR plays an important role. Secondary structure at 5' UTR may bind to a regulator protein. also regulated by initiation factors
When insulin is present, it activates a kinase called mTOR. mTOR phosphorylates PHAS-1 which does not bind to eIF4E. Free eIF4E binds to cap of mRNA and activates initiation
CPE Maskin, controlling translation
CPE of cyclin B binds to CPEB. CPEB brings in Maskin and masking binds to eIF4E, replacing eIF4G and turning off trnaslation.
When the oocyte is activated, a kinase called Eg2 phosphorylates CPEB which brings in CPSF (Poly adenylation specificity factor) and changes conformation of Maskin, releasing eIF4E. eIF4E binds to eIF4g to turn on translation.
Translation elongation
APE, in that order
The first amino acid arrives in P site, The first amino acid to attach to that enters A Site.
Peptide formation catalyzed by peptidyl transferase. Believed that 23S or 28S rRNA has catalytic properties.
New aminoacyl enters A site. Peptide bond is formed between A site and P site. The P site is now empty, and ribosome moves toward the 3' end of mRNA, and each tRNA moves over one.
Translation termination
When the stop codon hits, no tRNA enters the A site, so RF/eRF1 have a structure similar to tRNA, so they can fit into the empty A site. RF1/eRF1 promotes cleavage of the last peptidyl tRNA on the P site, and all the components fall apart and recycle

Well, whadda ya know….the Republicans held firm against a cloture vote on the Democrat's financial reform bill.
For the moment, Republicans have successfully beaten back the Democrat financial regulation overhaul, defeating a cloture motion to begin debate on the partisan bill with 42 votes.
Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), who has been most active in working with Democrats on the bill, voted no on cloture. So did other Republican question marks, including the Maine Ladies Collins and Snowe, Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), who voted for Democratic derivatives language in committee, and Scott Brown (R., Mass.).
In somewhat of a surprise move, Sen. Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) joined the Republican filibuster, which means the Democrats will now need two defectors to move ahead.
Nelson joined the Republicans because of language sought by Warren Buffet:
Buffett wanted a provision that would exempt existing derivative contracts from new rules.
And once removed he will go scurrying back to his friends on the left, hell….the man proved he has the spine of a jellyfish on the abortion issue so there is no counting on that man.
What do the Republicans want changed? A few things but most importantly on how the fed handles failing businesses. The way the current bill is written the fed will put 50 billion away for failing banks but the Republicans want that eliminated completely so no bail outs occur.
Basically saying that no business is too big to fail, and that is right on the money.
Jeff at Protein Wisdom thinks the Democrats will move onto immigration for a number of reasons:
The move to push immigration reform center stage at a time of high unemployment and unsustainable debt — made worse by enormous increases in federal entitlement spending — will be a cynical gamble on the part of Democrats, who realize that come November, they are likely to lose significant numbers in Congress anyway, and so will make a last ditch effort to swing public perception back in their favor by casting their opponents as anti-immigrant. Even should they fail, the thinking goes, they'll help perpetuate a branding of Tea Partiers as fringe actors and angry white Christian rednecks — marketing being, in a country filled with low-information voters (who, thanks to the self-esteem movement and the dumbing down of civic education, believe themselves to be "politically active†and "awareâ€), the most important aspect of politics.
And the GOP establishment and its pragmatist mouthpieces — always on the lookout to find a defensive posture from which to dignify such cynical attacks — might just play right into the hands of Democrats by their inevitable ritual scapegoating of at least one or two vocal conservatives, who they'll deem unclean.
Will the GOP play right into their hands tho? Or have they learned?
We shall see.

We got lucky two summers ago. A massive magnetic eruption on the Sun's surface happened when Earth was not in the direct path of its pulse of magnetic radiation. A study just published in the journal Nature Communications says if it had happened nine days later we could have experienced major damage to the electrical grid along with disabled communications satellites and chaos in our increasingly digitally-based lives. Had it been in anyway similar to a huge flare in 1859 we could have had a spectacular light show. The solar event that year produced auroras visible as far south as Hawaii and Cuba. The telegraph network went down across the U-S and operators were literally shocked while typing messages. If the Earth finds itself in the wrong place at the wrong time in this century resultant damage would likely be in the trillions. Super storms happen in space, too – they dwarf the kinds of events we complain about daily on terra firma.

Being Erica: Julieanne becomes Erica's next patient in Osso Barko
There's an emerging pattern in Being Erica this season that I'm already loving. Erica is being asked to help the people around her. Last week it was her "toxic" brother-in-law Josh. This week it's her business partner (and former boss) Julieanne.
Things get off to a tense start when Julieanne begins bossing the new assistant Rachel around. Before Erica has even had her first flashback, we're already reminded of how Julieanne treated her underlings at River Rock.
Essential read
However, Erica, in a somewhat naive moment, decides that Rachel is the one who needs to change because Julieanne has always been that way. I suppose it's necessary for this particular story, but Erica seems blind to Julieanne's personality flaws in this episode. Elsewhere she mistook Julieanne's rudeness at the restaurant for her 'liking' Michele, the author they were meeting.
So, Doctor Tom sends Erica back to relive her first day at work. Armed with her intimate knowledge of Julieanne, surely Erica would have a smoother second attempt at a first day?
Obviously not. Because while she's able to satisfy her pernickity boss on a superficial level, the moment Erica shows a shred of ambition or self-motivation, Julieanne crushes it immediately. Because in this reality, at this time, Julieanne and Erica are not friends. They don't have the shared history of being fired together and starting 50/50 Press. And Erica suddenly remembers this tougher side to Julieanne.
After some investigation, Erica discovers that Julieanne's ferocious style is rooted in her feeling inadequate. And this ties back to a visit from her sister, who she feels always overshadowed her academically. Erica nudges Julieanne toward an open discussion with her sister and they discover that their parents were equally proud of them and that each has traits that the other envies. They were, after all, more equal than they thought.
Which brings us back to Erica treating her nearest and dearest as patients. It's a wonderful direction the show's taking: the message being that we should try to help the people around us, and be a force for positive change. In last week's episode and Osso Barko, Erica seems to be dealing with negative traits in those people and seeing the causes for why people can sometimes be so hostile. The idea seems to be that if you can find the cause of that behaviour, you can help to stop it and make the person happier.
Next week: Erica goes Back To The Future to the time her mother was in high school!
Kudos to Karpluk and Pasternak: How good were Erin Karpluk and Reagan Pasternak at playing past versions of their characters? I imagine it's one thing to play continuity in a regular drama, but for Erica and Julieanne to go from being 50/50 colleagues to being hostile boss/trembling assistant again must've been challenging but fun to play. Excellent work, ladies.
Do I ever fix you, Erica? Dr. Tom points out that his role – and Erica's as a therapist – is to help people realise what is wrong so they can fix it for themselves. That seemed to come like a mini-revelation for Erica, but it was good when it came.
Awesome Adam: I like to live vicariously through anyone who gets to kiss Erin Karpluk for a living. But Adam is a perfect love interest for Erica: he knows her secret, he's been in therapy, he seems to nurture her, but he's not afraid to challenge what she says to get to the heart of the matter. I love that he's encouraged her to try writing again.
No! Not Friedkin! Did anyone else breathe a sigh of relief that Julieanne hadn't given Thomas Friedkin a booty call? That guy makes my skin crawl.
Galvin is dead. Yes, the man who fired Erica and Julieanne was laid to rest with a not-so-humble eulogy from that snake-oil salesman Friedkin. River Rock has been inherited by Galvin's son, and you have to wonder if the company will play a part in 50/50 Press's future?
Sam IS pregnant! Predicted it last week. She dropped the bombshell on Erica at the tail end of Osso Barko. Is the baby Lenin's? Or Josh's?
A+, newbie. I hearted Dr. Tom's twisting of Julieanne's words when he told Erica she's done a good job!

Braids are a part of our culture and transcends fashion. They were more popular in the 90s but as with karma, the same is true for fashion, what does around comes back around. During my unwitting transition, I had braids (pick and drop) to be exact. I carried this style for longer than should!
On my last visit to Istanbul, I did not want to have to worry about maintaining my fro and opted for Senegalese twists. This is a hard style to carry if you have curly hair as the ends do pock out but for a 10 day trip it was worth it. Box braids though they take longer, are so regal and symbolic of African heritage.
When transitioning, braids are the easiest way to have a protective style that looks great and is versatile. For many, weaves can be harder to maintain, especially if you exercise or play sports. Braids allow you to protect your hair while allowing your scalp to breath.
There are risks to having braids. Mostly in regards to the tightness of the braids. If like me you have had zealous braiders who think the tighter the braids are the better they look you know that you have to insist that they loosen the braids, even if it means braiding more often.
Keeping your scalp clean while your hair is braided is paramount to maintaining healthy hair. See Tmochava's video for some great tips.

While I understand the ease of farming and dailies, it is not the optimal way to make gold. I generally get an hour of playtime a day after I put my kids to bed. I can do a circuit of dailies in icecrown and make 200g, go farm for an hour and make 150-250g (depending on how many farmers are out there), or spend 20 minutes in the ah make 300-500g and do other stuff.
Point is farming and dailies are fine if you enjoy it, but if it is only a means to an end (in this case epic flying) don't waste your time. Look for heavy undercuts or listings from someone that had no idea what an item goes for and relist it. Break up stacks or stack up individuals, they all have their place in the market just figure out where it is.
Also I don't hesitate to undercut, especially when driving someone out of the market. In the meantime I might also pick up some cheap goods at way below market price. Yea it sucks that tuned and bold cardinals have gone from 180+ to 125 on my server, but it is also a heavy competition market, lambent eye of zul (or whatever it is called) not so much and stays at 270-300 per.
Look around and you can find some easy gold with no dailies or farming.

Mythology - Dea Tacita
Jim was at a complete loss for words. He had utterly no idea what to do, or say to try and sort this out. Nothing made sense yet, how could this woman be the Master? We're Timelords not gender-specific? God, that was just even more confusing. He stopped after a moment, keeping still this time to narrow his eyes at her. "Oh come on. You think that's true?" He tried, but she was already gone. Shit, what was he going to do now?
She raised a manicured hand to wave him off as she continued down the street at her brisk pace. It was only a block or two away before she turned into an alley where her TARDIS was currently parked. She spared a glance back at the open road, which Jim would be standing just a short ways away. It was clear that he didn't want to see her. At least, that's what she thought. Hell, he wouldn't even believe that she was truly the Master.

A high-fat diet can be bad for your health. However, a snack-based "cafeteria"-style diet of highly palatable, energy-dense foods is even worse, according to new research. A study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that rats that ate snack foods commonly consumed by children and adults in the U.S. ate more, gained more weight, had more tissue inflammation, and were intolerant to glucose and insulin (warning signs of diabetes) than rats whose diets were high fat from lard.

Strawberries Might Provide A Two-Fisted Assault On Diabetic Complications And Nervous System Disorders
A recent study from scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies suggests that a strawberry a day (or more accurately, 37 of them) could keep not just one doctor away, but an entire fleet of them, including the neurologist, the endocrinologist, and maybe even the oncologist. Investigations conducted in the Salk Institute's Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory (CNL) will appear in the June 27, 2011, issue of PLoS ONE.
Adults In The United States Not Only Eat More, But More Often
Over the past 30 years U.S. adults have been eating larger portions and eating more often, according to a new study by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers. The findings help illustrate that how Americans are eating contributes to the country's obesity epidemic. Check the end of this report for a link to download this open access study that is freely available in June 2011 issue of the journal PLoS Medicine.
Fat Substitutes Linked To Weight Gain
Synthetic fat substitutes used in low-calorie potato chips and other foods could backfire and contribute to weight gain and obesity, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association. The study, by researchers at Purdue University, challenges the conventional wisdom that foods made with fat substitutes help with weight loss. The study was published online in the APA journal Behavioral Neuroscience.
Strawberries Boost Red Blood Cells
A group of volunteers ate half a kilo of strawberries every day for two weeks to demonstrate that eating this fruit improves the antioxidant capacity of blood. The study, carried out by Italian and Spanish researchers, showed that strawberries boost red blood cells' response to oxidative stress, an imbalance that is associated with various diseases.
Diet Of Low-Income Families Often Falls Short in Nutrition
More than seven in 10 low-income families in a new University of Nebraska-Lincoln study struggled to reach adequate levels of nutrition in their diet, researchers said. When asked to recall their food choices from the previous day, only 28 percent of participating parents and caregivers reported meals with adequate amounts of nutrients like Vitamins A and C, protein, calcium and iron, according to the study.
No Known Link Found Between Food Coloring And ADHD, But Wider Questions And Safety Issues Remain
When University of Maryland psychologist Andrea Chronis-Tuscano testified before a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hearing last March, it changed her mind about possible risks of artificial food coloring for children, and drove her to look more closely at the products in her own pantry that she feeds her kids. Chronis-Tuscano walked in to the meeting certain that no convincing scientific evidence supports the idea that food coloring additives cause Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD – nor that strict diets eliminating dyes effectively treat the condition.
Low-Carbohydrate, High-Protein Diets May Reduce Both Tumor Growth Rates And Cancer Risk
Eating a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet may reduce the risk of cancer and slow the growth of tumors already present, according to a study published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. The study was conducted in mice, but the scientists involved agree that the strong biological findings are definitive enough that an effect in humans can be considered.

Any one tried Palomino's Greenwich?
- momof3 May 9, 2007 05:57 PM
I have been reading about this restaurant. I love Sonora and Pacifico, this is by the same people, but supposedly "upscale Mexican".
Has anyone been or heard from anyone who has?
We were 2 couples, foodies, who have enjoyed the chef's other restaurants in Port Chester, Sonora and Pacifico. Palomino is more upscale in manor, in decor, but the menu does not feel Mexican as much as continental/Adriatic/Asian rim-ish, meaning very varied in ingredients and interesting. The tables are spaced nicely far apart, however the room is still maddeningly loud when full. The service was a bit slow, the wine list a bit pricey and the gentleman in charge of bringing the selection of breads ( all wonderful looking), offering one only, does not reappear for a refill until you wave frantically for a long while along with everyone else trying to get his attention. An amuse bouche is offered when seated, a nicely spiced spread on toast. However, looking for a simple salad of greens to start, we were told that it doesn't exist at this restaurant, only the more complicated salads on the menu were available, recited by our waiter as if he were afraid to go back to the kitchen and ask if we could be accomodated. We had a very good snapper dish, a good tuna dish, rare as ordered and 2 orders of the bouilliabase, very tasty but perhaps a bit small a portion for a grown man. The menu is not too big but covers a nice range of fish, chicken, and meat. I think the price range is a good bit higher than the other restaurants run by this chef but it aims to be a "finer" dining experience. Again, it does not at all strive to be "Mexican upscale" or "Spanish upscale" but may appeal to those in the Greenwich area code looking for the next new thing.
Nice atmosphere but the food does not warrant the prices. My appetiser was great- tuna & Avacoado tartare but my main course-lobster ravioli was only OK. We were a party of 6 and not one persons dinner was fabulous- all just good at best. Portions are a little on the small size and the menu is a bit too limited. While the service was good, overall it is not a place I would go back too.
re: Alex318
We ate at this restaurant and I would not go back. Simply put, the food was just not good. The prices were high, but even if they were lower, I would not return, since mediocre food is not good at any price.
The menu has some Mexican influenced dishes, but there are also Pacific Rim-type and continental choices. We ordered four different entrees among us, and none were good. I had a pompano special that was supposed to come with a half lobster and a gingered vegetable sautee with crispy wontons. The lobster portion was miniscule. It might have been a half of a lobster, but of a pygmy lobster. There was no way to taste the pompano, since the gingered Asian sauce that it was drowned in tasted and looked like it came out of a LaChoy bottle. The crispy wontons were tasteless and looked like they were delivered in a can from Sysco. Also at the table were the pork chop, which was tough and bland, the lobster ravioli which was average, and the "seared" tuna which was grey on the outside rather than crusty, like they had cooked it in a pan that was not nearly hot enough. The supposedly lump crabcake appetizer which was a special had nary a lump of crabmeat in sight. It was composed of what appeared to be crabmeat put through a food processor. It was extremely disappointing.
The service was attentive but they need a lesson in manners. The server would just barge in and ask if we were ready for drinks, wine, to order, or whatever, but with no regard to the fact that we were conversing. Usually they wait a second while someone finishes their sentence and then ask, but this fellow just barreled right into the conversation. It was extremely disruptive. Furthermore, he came by too many times to ask if the food was OK and took away a drink that still had drink in it.
The restaurant itself is lovely, with lots of room between tables and a nice decor. But nothing can make up for bad food.
re: kfood
Kfood. You have to be wrong. They got a 4 star rating! See this post:
by no means is the food here "bad"............excellent? no (especially for the prices they charge).........very good, yes........service was great.......nice space between tables........lighting was nice........drinks were very good (although pricey).........but i guess they're catering to the "greenwich crowd"......
i think they'll do just fine.......
re: southlake
food is mediocre, no character, low level flavors, the owner is consistent...
re: intrepid
So does anyone agree with the NY Times review of Excellent? From what I read here it seems pretty negative. Opinions?
re: sibeats
I know! I am amazed at the fact that NYT gave it an excellent and they rarely give those out and the general feeling here is not a positive one. I may have to try it anyway even tho I usually shy away from anything other hounds pan....
re: KarenNYC
The Ct reviewer Patricia Brooks gives "Excellent"s away like candy some times. Rare that the review and the rating coincide but in this case she wrote a review for an "Excellent" and gave one. Now the big question is the resto itself. Like you jfood is a little nervous with all the negs from the Board, but will go with an open mind.
re: KarenNYC
Thanks K.
There are several resto above this one on the "gotta try" list. And given some of the responses here, it does not appear it will "cut the line." Brooks giving it this rating only gives jfood pause.
Still gotta try Market and Duo in Stm and Schoolhouse in Wilton, maybe DaPietro in Westport as well. Habana, Kazu and the other sushi in SONO. The list is getting long and that;s a good thing. So many years in FFD county with nothing to speak of.
The jfoods have been out of commission for two weeks with unfortunate family stuff. After NYE, the resto circuit will crank up once again. Will report back as always.
Happy holidays to you and yours.
re: sibeats
Excellent....well if that refers to service, food, ambience, food, professionalism, food.....then YES! Simply said one of the best meals/experiences we've had outside of the city in a very long time and can't wait to go back. Maybe it helped that they surprised us with a 10 piece tasting dessert tray - just because! (and yes, we tasted all)
re: crashpam
Glad to hear you had such a good experience...we are going saturday night and will report back. The menu does sound really good. What did you eat crashpam?
re: sibeats
Sibeats - would love to hear how your experience was at Palomino's - hoping it was as good as mine.
re: crashpam
Crashpam, sadly it wasn't what we were hoping for based on an "excellent" from the NY Times (not that I'm surprised by that standard). It started off very nicely with an amuse bouche of pumpkin bisque with chopped pecans, very nicely done.
We all enjoyed our appetizers. The scallops were delicious, oysters were very good, the shrimp dumplings were good (but the filling crumbled apart which made for messy eating) and the tuna tartare was good but could have used more of the mango coulis. The crispy toast sticks in the tartare were excellent.
Small service blips happened here and there, but we usually don't get hung up on things like that. For instance, they didn't bring us bread until after the appetizers were cleared. They served the amuse bouche while we were still looking at the menus, which was a little awkward, and then both of the servers were reciting what it was at the same time, but as they moved around the table you didn't know who to listen to so after they left we all looked at each other and said "what is it"? Again, nothing that would make us not come back.
The entrees on the other hand were a disappointment. They just seemed mediocre and ordinary. I'm not sure even how to describe it...there was just nothing exciting about any of them. The sauces seemed very old school and everything was kind of muddied together. The filet was flavorful but very sinewy and tough. The brussel sprout accompaniment to the filet was probably the best of the sides. For a restaurant that bills itself as American Market Cuisine, it just didn't ring true. That type of food makes me think of fresh, vibrant flavors, interesting ingredients and clean presentations. All of the plates were swimming in watery sauces, with no real eye to how it looked. I know, I'm picky...but there are many other places around with "market cuisine" that are far better. I really wanted to like it...but I don't think we'll be going back. That being said, the place was full (most tables were either adults 65+ or families with children) and I think they will find a nice niche for themselves.
re: sibeats
ive never like this place, nor the others owned by the same, food is always, bland, boring, mediocre, old school, poor flavors

Suspected Vt. meth lab foundJune 29,2013ST. ALBANS Vermont State Police arrested a Missouri man early Friday morning after raiding a suspected methamphetamine lab in an apartment in St. Albans.
Travis Clemmons, 30, of St. Louis pleaded not guilty Friday to a charge of conspiracy to manufacture the drug.
The office of the Franklin County states attorney is prosecuting the case.
The arrest came after the Vermont Drug Task Force removed chemicals used in making methamphetamine from an apartment on Thursday, authorities said.
No one was home at the time.
The site was rendered safe by a state hazardous materials team and the state police Clandestine Laboratory Team.
Police learned Thursday night that Clemmons had been staying at a hotel in St. Albans, but he left before police arrived, authorities said. He was found at 1:40 a.m. Friday hiding in a drainage ditch near the hotel and arraigned later in the day, police said.
He is being held on $150,000 bail at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans.
The investigating is ongoing, police said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Lawmakers complained to the states top health care reform official Thursday they...

|MSN Entertainment's 100 favorite films, 80-61
78. 'Crimes and Misdemeanors' (1989)
"Crimes and Misdemeanors" is my favorite Woody Allen movie, despite fierce competition from other masterpieces like "Annie Hall" and "Hannah and Her Sisters." "Crimes" doesn't get talked about as much as those and some other Allen gems, but it deserves its place among the pantheon of his greatest works. Funny, dramatic and deeply tragic, the movie touches on themes that Allen would revisit again (most notably in "Match Point") yet never with the same resonance.
Martin Landau is Judah, an ophthalmologist whose mistress (Anjelica Huston) threatens to reveal their affair to his wife, potentially ruining his family life and social standing. Feeling desperate and trapped, Judah arranges to have the woman murdered, and his journey through remorse, paranoia and guilt eventually lead to an unexpected destination. Meanwhile, the other main subplot involves a documentary filmmaker (Allen) whose own personal travails, while less grim, point to the same conclusion: that there is no such thing as a just and benevolent universe. (Interestingly, the Allen character's original storyline was quite different; the director threw out the footage, rewriting and reshooting that entire section of the narrative.)
The film's dark profundity — which Allen alleviates with a slight bit of hope at the end — always leaves this viewer moved and shaken, no matter how many times I've watched it. The movie acts as sort of a grand statement of a philosophy toward life that aligns closely with my own, and that has changed little in the 24 years since the film first came out. It's not an optimistic view of humanity or existence, but we can only hope that "future generations might understand more." — Don KayeGet more MSN Movies on Twitter and Facebook.

Show Number: 1301
Air Dates: January 2, 2013 - January 8, 2013
E-Chievement Award: James Chippendale & Mike Peters
In this week's broadcast. eTown hosts Nick and Helen Forster welcome up-and-coming British act The Dunwells and Texas legend Joe Ely. In just two short years, The Dunwells have managed to transport their music from the pubs, clubs and open mic nights of Leeds, England to the hearts and minds of listeners in the United States. The band's debut album, Blind Sighted Faith, was recorded at Willie Nelson's famed Pedernales Studio outside of Austin, and is sure to further the band's momentum that has already catapulted them onto to the stage with such artists as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Mumford and Sons. Rounding out the show is legendary Texas musician Joe Ely, who is perhaps best know as a founding member of the prolific group The Flatlanders, a band that has made several stops in eTown during the program's 21 years. Ely's genre-crossing career has found him performing with everyone from Bruce Springsteen, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett and even The Clash, and we are honored to have him back with us. It's a full episode of great music and conversation, and a great E-Chievement Award story this week. Be sure to tune in!

Art of graffiti at Callanwolde starting Friday
Graffiti forms one of those dividing lines in contemporary American life, much like presidential elections.
Some people view it as nothing more than vandalism, while others see it as street art. For evidence of the latter, just witness the number of coffee-table books focused on the topic and the growing number of graffiti artists, as well as those inspired by the painting style, who have been shown at private galleries and public museums.
For her exhibit, "Urban Works," opening Friday at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center Gallery, Tucker artist Christina Bray said she wanted to explore that conflict. But the 11 highly representational paintings themselves, some of which can be previewed on her website (www.christinabray.com), don't make obvious which side of the divide the artist is on. Though the painterly skill with which she executes them certainly suggests some sort of emotional connection to these altered urban spaces.
When we asked Bray for her position, she was quick to share: "Actually, I do see graffiti in general as a valid art form, and I think that when it's colorful and is technically advanced, it adds vibrancy to otherwise run-down buildings. I like the graffiti that appears on defunct industrial buildings. These sites are interesting and appealing to me, and that's why I chose them as subjects.
"However," she added, "I don't condone the activities of 'taggers' who paint on people's houses or businesses."
Bray's acrylic-on-canvas paintings, which range in size from 20 by 24 inches to 40 by 30 inches, capture some of Atlanta's most popular canvases for graffiti, including an abandoned Glidden Paint Factory, the Pullman Rail Yard and the Krog Street tunnel. The riot of color and rot of sites such as these has also caught the attention of many photographers, who have filled online flickr sites with their images.
"I'm also interested in how each building is transformed from its original use by the addition of the graffiti," added Bray, 40, an Atlanta native who did undergraduate studies at the old Atlanta College of Art and received masters degrees from the University of Georgia (fine arts ) and Emory University (theological studies). "I like the way each building or space retains some architectural hints of its original use but has now been converted into a sort of 'proving ground' for the graffiti writers."

I have talked with the loan company and received the paperwork to have the loan put in my name. My father filed garnishments in two states as I had moved to a different state and then moved back to my home state. I have not talked with him in years. I need his signature to have the loan put in my name. What is the best way to go about this?? Once/if he signs the papers putting the loan in my name, how do I stop the garnishments? thank you in advance.
If the loan company is willing to release him as a co-signer, that is great. However, if he has a judgment against you, that will not get rid of the judgment. There are facts that are unclear in your question, so this makes it difficult to try to answer your question. Your question seems to suggest that the judgment is related to the student loan. Is that correct? Did he sue you because the student loan company pursued him? As a practical matter, if he decided to sue you because of his liability from the loan, and he got a judgment, what will make him willing to get his name off of the student loan at this point? It would seem that he would have sued because he had incurred a debt as a result of the loan (in other words, the loan company sued him). If true, simply transferring the loan fully to you at this point may not cause the result you are looking for. It is unclear at this point though without more facts. I would strongly suggest that you consult with a consumer debt or bankruptcy lawyer in Tucson. Although the student loans may not be dischargeable in bankruptcy, the father's judgement may be dischargeable. You should contact a qualified consumer debt attorney ASAP. Good luck!
Vince Rabago
I am not sure you fully understand your situation. I know I don't fully understand your situation.
With that being said, you cannot double collect on a debt. So if he has a judgment for money you have refinanced, this should be told to the court to minimize the amount of the judgment.
Here is the situation I am concerned about: If you father had to pay $1,000 you will still owe him $1,000 (at a minimum) because if you refinance the note, this amount will not include the amounts he paid.
You need to talk to an attorney.

Congratulations to the high school State Finalists of the 2012 Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge! Click here to view the elementary and middle school Challege Finalists.
- Team Name Pedal Power
- Location Fayetteville, AR
- School Fayetteville East High School
- Teacher/Mentor Mark White
- Description Team Pedal Power was challenged with creating a way to use the rainwater that collects in a 500 gallon cistern to provide irrigation to eight gardens and greenhouse. They designed and built a system that includes a bicycle, a stand, a motor, an inverter, a battery, a water pump and a hose. When the bicycle is pedaled, electricity is generated through the motor and stored in the battery. The battery is connected to the water pump in the cistern and is used to pump the rainwater through a hose. Students pedal the bike to generate electricity so they can water the plants and vegetables.
- Team Name Green Wigglers
- Location Roseville, CA
- School Woodcreek High School
- Teacher/Mentor Kendra Grinsell
- Description The Green Wigglers collected lunch food waste from their high school in worm bins and used 5000 worms to decompose the waste. Over two months they tracked the rate at which the different foods decomposed and also did plant growth experiments with the worm compost they produced. After determining that vermicomposting was cheap, easy and effective, they went on a media blitz to get their message out to the community that everyone should be composting to reduce waste and save energy. In addition to appearances on television and radio shows, the team's story was run in two newspaper stories encouraging the team to create PSA videos to air on their school's website, local cable television, YouTube and Facebook.
- Team Name The Bigfoot Carbonators
- LocationGrand Junction, CO
- SchoolGrand Junction High School
- Teacher/MentorSteve Brown
- Description By using only half lighting in classrooms for four hours a day, team Big Food Carbonators are reducing their school's energy usage. This not only reduced energy costs but caused a significant reduction in the CO2 produced to generate the original power.
- Team NameTeam SLS
- LocationNew Canaan, CT
- SchoolSt. Luke's School
- Teacher/MentorDavid Havens
- Description Invasive plants have been a long time problem for the Connecticut landscape. Today the infestation has become so vast that the indigenous plants have almost disappeared. To combat this issue on their school campus, Team SLS identified and chose to remove three of the twelve invasive plant species present: Japanese Knotweed, Japanese Barberry and Winged Euonymus. The team's efforts proved successful and where hundreds of invasive plants once overwhelmed their campus, indigenous plants have found room to grow.
- Team Name The Durable Design of the Future Turbine
- Location Ovidedo, FL
- SchoolSeminole High School
- Teacher/MentorDhawal Shah
- DescriptionDurable Design of the Future Turbine combines the Savonius type vertical axis wind turbine with a low profile, low operating speed, and permanent magnet "pancake generator". The low speed pancake generator allows for elimination of a gearbox, thus producing more power. The pancake generator also acts as a flywheel, reducing power fluctuation due to variable wind speeds.
- Team Name PuriTy1
- Location Evans, GA
- SchoolGreenbriar High School
- Teacher/MentorRuslan Rafikov
- DescriptionDetergent is one of the pollutants that can severely damange the environment. Methods of detergent detection in the water are costly and require an equipped laboratory. To combat detection difficulties, Team PuriTy1 made an attempt to create a new and easy method called STT (Surface Tension Test) that can be used for preliminary testing of detergent contamination in nearby bodies of water. Using their method, the team tested water in two Georgia cities. Their results indicated that bodies of water near Augusta, GA were highly polluted to the level that could kill fish eggs and stop reproduction. In contrast, the team found water in Atlanta, GA was cleaner, even though the city is larger and pollutions are expected to be worse.
- Team Name Energy Innovation
- Location Naperville, IL
- SchoolNeuqua Valley High School
- Teacher/MentorPatricia Noblett
- Description Team Energy Innovation performed school energy audits and environmental tests in the pursuit of analyzing energy usage and the environmental impact of their school. Following their research, the team met with administration and the district energy management group to develop recommendations to decrease the school's energy usage to guide their school in a more efficient and environmentally sustainable direction. Recommendations that have been implemented have a projected savings of $13,000 per year in reduced energy consumption. The team is currently working to raise awareness amongst the student body and staff to reduce their energy usage using branded mouse pads, light switch plates and posters with reminders to "shut down their unused computer" and "turn of unnecessary lights".
- Team NameTeam Ecotopians
- Location Bowling Green, KY
- School The Gatton Academy of Math and Science
- Teacher/MentorDr. Ouida Meier
- Description Team Ectopians, worked to educate their local community, especially unsewered neighborhoods, on the implications of living in a Karst system and the importance of using environmentally friendly water cleaners. Karst regions, characterized by their soluble bedrock, are comprised of numerous underground waterways and thin soil layers that allow for relatively rapid passage of water. Because septic systems rely so much on soil-based biological processes to restore waste water, it is impossible for local septic systems to be completely effective in a Karst region.
- Team NameTeam Duckweed
- LocationEdgewater, MD
- SchoolSouth River Senior High School
- Teacher/Mentor Tanya Marushak
- DescriptionTeam Duckweed was concerned with the dangerously large dead zone caused by eutrophication in the Chesapeake Bay. Most of the nitrogen and phosphorus pollution causing this issue is from agriculture on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. To address this problem, the team designed a system to filter farm runoff through bioremediation with the Duckweed plant. They used quantitative testing to confirm Duckweed's nitrogen removal capability, and found that it reduced the nitrogen content of waste water by 28.5%. They are currently creating a working small scale model of a farm with a Duckweed filtration system.
- Team Name Green3r Clean3rs
- LocationActon, MA
- School YESC, LLC
- Teacher/MentorMurali Sethumadhavan
- Description The Green3r Cleaners main goal was to increase awareness of green chemistry. The team reached their goal by educating their local community population on the pros and cons of chemicals in the hope that community members would then choose the right chemicals for themselves and the environment in their everyday lives.
- Team Name D.A.Y.S.
- LocationNovi, MI
- SchoolNovi High School
- Teacher/Mentor Suhas Sathe
- Description Concerned by the large volume of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam that was filling the dumpsters of their high school, team D.A.Y.S. strove to find a pragmatic solution to divert EPS foam from reaching landfills. The team spoke to representatives from various organizations to learn the details on how foam can be recycled, the manner in which foam escapes to the surrounding environment, and methods of reusing waste materials. They found that since an EPS foam recycling program was uncommon, may people did not know that it could be done. The team increased awareness, collected pledges, and proposed implementation plans to their district superintendent, city council and state representative.
- Team Name Water You Waiting For!
- LocationSpringfield, MO
- School SPS/OTC Middle College
- Teacher/MentorMara Vaile
- Description After touring a water treatment facility, Team Water You Waiting For became particularly interested in comparing tap water to bottled water. For this project, the team members researched the environmental impacts of purchasing disposable water bottles and conducted a study on the habits of their peers at school regarding disposable water bottles and reusable water bottles. The team created a video in order to get the word out to their peers about the environmental problems associated with disposable water bottles. After showing the video to their peers, they then conducted a follow-up study to determine if their peers were willing to make a change. Team Water You Waiting For then organized a Middle College boycott of disposable water bottles in order to draw attention to their research and spread the word to start using reusable water bottles.
New Jersey
- Team NamePinelands Eco Scienteers
- LocationLittle Egg Harbor, NJ
- SchoolPinelands Regional High School
- Teacher/MentorStephen Kubricki
- Description In many places around the world, the only option for cooking meals is to use wood from nearby forests resulting in undispersed deforestation. Team Pinelands Eco Scienteers' project focused on developing a viable alternative where wood is replaced by biomass waste products such as peanut shells, pine needles, banana peels, sugar cane waste and corn stalks. The project included methods of preparing biomass materials for briquetting and the design of low cost easy to ship mini-presses.
New York
- Team Name Thunder Squad
- LocationPlainview, NY
- SchoolJohn F Kennedy High School
- Teacher/MentorNicholas DeMaria
- DescriptionIn this experience, Team Thunder Squad tested the impact of naturally occurring CaCO3, obtained from ground eggshells and sea shells, in increasing the pH level of acidic soil and its subsequent impact on plant growth. Upon analysis of the data collected, it was determined that seashells provide the optimal conditions for the neutralization of acidic soil. Given the availability of sea shells as an inexpensive recyclable source of calcium carbonate, this application has the potential to offer a green alternative to industrial techniques currently being used in agriculture.
North Carolina
- Team NameChargers
- Location Charlotte, NC
- SchoolProvidence Day School
- Teacher/MentorBarbara Morrow
- Description In seeking less dependence on non-reusable energy, students developed a method of harnessing energy through electromagnetic inductance. By inserting spring-loaded "cells" (made of copper coils and magnets), into a standard anti-fatigue mat, team members were able to store energy that could power simple, life-saving devices, like a steripen. This power has the ability to effect not only members of their own community, but in communities all around the world, where clean drinking water and heating sources may not be as easily available.
- Team NameWe Want Your Waste!
- LocationChesterland, OH
- SchoolWest Geauga High School
- Teacher/MentorIrene McMullen
- DescriptionTeam Members of Team We Want Your Waste looked at broadening the uses of compost locally and in other countries. The students experimented with different types of compost to determine the most efficacious use for specific plants. Team members also composted material from the school cafeteria and worked with international organizations to build a composting toilet in Afghanistan and a composting facility in Ecuador.
South Carolina
- Team NameAgua Caliente
- LocationHartsville, SC
- SchoolEmmanuel Christian School
- Teacher/MentorDr. Dale Ankers
- DescriptionHot running water in the home is still a luxury in many developing countries due to the cost of the heater or the lack of electrical power. Team Agua Caliente discovered many websites that presented plans for building solar water heaters out of recycled materials. Few of these sites presented research or practical instruction in how to build the most efficient design. The team chose to build two mock roofs and water heaters in order to experiment to find the most efficient design. The first solar heaters were made using pvc pipe, recycled plastic drink bottles, and recycled milk cartons. The team hopes to continue experimenting with other materials that are readily available, but typically end up in the trash. They plan to share their results with contacts in Belize and Brazil, so that communities in developing areas can create jobs by building and installing solar water heaters.
- Team NameClear Lake HS
- LocationHouston, TX
- SchoolClear Lake High School
- Teacher/MentorSridhar Madala
- DescriptionEnergy efficient desalination of water can have a major impact on the availability of drinking water. Team Clear Lake High School utilized carbon nanotubes to help solve this problem in their community. By virtue of their size and due to the potential energy barrier surrounding the tube entrance and exit, carbon nanotubes can potentially reject ions of divided salt at a higher flow rate than is possible with existing reverse osmosis systems which use conventional filter membranes.
- Team NameGeolympus
- LocationHolladay, UT
- SchoolOlympus Junior High School
- Teacher/MentorJoAnne Brown
- DescriptionTeam Geolympus completed a project publicizing the importance of geothermal energy in their state. Their idea was to build a model geothermal energy plant and use it to demonstrate how this new technology works to students and members of their community. Their goal was also to encourage their school district to build a working geothermal plant either at their school or a new STEM elementary school, which could be used as a teaching tool to make this technology more visible to people in their area, where only 0.6% of energy comes from geothermal. The team built a model and experimented with different insulations to simulate how geothermal is used, and worked with local experts in learning how geothermal operates in order to accurately represent this energy source.
- Team NameGeorge Mason Recycling
- LocationManassas, VA
- SchoolThe Governor's School at Innovation Park
- Teacher/MentorKaren Wolfson
- DescriptionMembers of team George Mason Recycling investigated the current level of plastics recycling at George Mason University, Prince William Campus. They measured recycling levels as a function of placement of recycling and trash bins and punishments and rewards. The team found that placing recycling bins closer to trashcans increases use and that a personalized reward system is highly effective. Awareness was increased and team members hope to improve recycling rates even more.
- Team Name Thunderbirds
- LocationCheyenne, WY
- SchoolEast High School
- Teacher/MentorJim Zlomke
- DescriptionFrom an energy standpoint, nonrenewable resources are a major concern in terms of carbon emissions. In order to prevent problems in the future, Team Thunderbirds believes we need to look towards renewable sources of energy. Team members made observations and recorded data on fair residential scale wind turbines recently installed at secondary schools around their school district. Team Thunderbirds was surprised to discover the amount of time that residential scale wind systems take to produce enough energy to pay for themselves.

Well said!
The actual purpose of brands is to be purchased, so all these "like" talks is just a demagogy. Though there is nothing bad to be liked, and follow this goal, but it shouldn't be the very first goal.

U.S. stocks traded mixed Thursday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently shed 51 points to 15491, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index lost a point to 1685 and the Nasdaq Composite added 12 points to 3592. Among the companies whose shares are trading actively in Thursday's session are Facebook Inc. (FB), TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP) and Sequenom Inc. (SQNM).
Facebook ($33.19, +$6.68, +25.19%) swung to a second-quarter profit as the world's largest social network continued building up its mobile advertising business and posted stronger revenue. Results easily beat market expectations.
TripAdvisor's ($70.50, +$9.36, +15.31%) second-quarter earnings rose 26% as the hotel-reviews site recorded a surge in revenue. Results, driven by continued traffic growth, beat Wall Street estimates.
Sequenom's ($3.28, -$1.41, -30.06%) second-quarter loss widened as the life-sciences company logged an increase in interest expense and said reimbursement issues hurt its diagnostic revenue. Results fell short of Wall Street expectations.
Biogen Idec Inc.'s (BIIB, $230.06, +$3.45, +1.52%) second-quarter earnings rose 27% as the sales launch of Tecfidera contributed to the biotechnology company's better-than-expected revenue growth. The company also raised its full-year earnings estimate.
Other Stocks To Watch:
Akamai Technologies Inc.'s (AKAM, $45.31, +$1.44, +3.28%) second-quarter earnings rose 40% as the Internet technology company continued to post strong revenue growth and margins improved.
Angie's List Inc.'s (ANGI, $23.56, -$2.94, -11.09%) second-quarter loss narrowed as the online-reviews site posted improved revenue, but Ebitda was worse than expected amid increased hiring. In response, B Riley lowered its bottom-line expectations for the company through 2014.
Arctic Cat Inc.'s (ACAT, $52.50, +$2.86, +5.76%) fiscal first-quarter profit more than doubled as the snowmobile maker logged improved margins and revenue gains across its product lines. Per-share earnings beat analyst expectations and the company also raised its full-year earnings guidance.
Baidu Inc.'s (BIDU, $126.87, +$13.50, +11.91%)(K3SD.SG) second-quarter earnings fell 4.5%, reversing a history of profit growth as the Chinese Internet search company's heavy expenses offset a sharp increase in revenue. Still, the company's results beat expectations and the company gave a rosy revenue outlook for the current quarter.
Recreational boat maker Brunswick Corp.'s (BC, $36.57, +$3.47, +10.48%) second-quarter earnings fell 3.8% on debt-extinguishment charges, though its core earnings and revenue improved. The company also raised its full-year profit view.
Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX, $10.97, +$1.36, +14.15%) swung to a second-quarter profit as a hefty impairment charge weighed on the medical-device maker's year-ago results, though revenue slipped slightly in the latest period. The company's results beat its own estimates and the firm raised its full-year outlook.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp.'s (COG, $76.55, +$4.84, +6.74%) second-quarter earnings more than doubled as the company's revenue beat expectations, driven by a jump in natural-gas output.
Cameron International Corp.'s (CAM, $60.01, -$3.56, -5.60%) second-quarter earnings fell 20% amid joint-venture-formation costs and slower-than-expected revenue growth. The oil-and-gas equipment maker also lowered its full-year earnings estimate.
Cheesecake Factory Inc.'s (CAKE, $39.92, -$1.98, -4.73%) second-quarter profit was essentially flat, inching up 0.6%, as the restaurant-chain operator recorded a charge tied to the relocation of two of its namesake restaurants. Adjusted earnings missed the company's own forecast and revenue fell short of Wall Street estimates.
Citrix Systems Inc.'s (CTXS, $69.77, +$2.28, +3.38%) second-quarter earnings fell 30% as the enterprise software maker posted weaker margins and higher expenses and as an income-tax benefit boosted year-earlier results. Still, results beat the company's expectations.

Holiday View Hotel
What we say:
This place is usually hopping with Vietnamese tourists, even in low season. Maybe that's why we found the staff a bit distracted. It didn't help that the lobby is one, big, massive echo chamber and there were twenty people inside it all talking at once. When we saw the rooms, we couldn't quite understand why this place was a three star hotel -- they are characterless, if adequately clean and well-maintained. We suspect this place draws business mostly due to it's size, it's star-rating, and working with luxury tour operators. But for our money, the Princes Hotel around the corner has got it going on, and this place is dullsville.

Nice room but no internet
The room was lovely, clean and nice! However, there was no wifi here. There were a few computers at the lobby. Yet, the charge was quite high especially to a backpacker like me.

It was part of the tour
I stayed here for a night as part of a 3D2N Halong Bay tour. The room is very clean, and all the furnishings are in excellent condition. It is very comfortable. However if you had to eat the food here, the quality is only mediocre and the drinks extremely overpriced. Stay here, but eat outside.

It's not the hotel, it's the island
The hotel itself is lovely - nicely appointed rooms with big/clean bathrooms, good views and cable TV. Good thing about the TV since there isn't much else to do on the island, at least in non-peak season. We came to the island as part of a 3 day/2 night Halong Bay Tour from Hanoi (we had spent the first night on a boat) and were a bit disappointed that there was little to do in the evening other than to walk up and down a fairly boring ''main'' street.

So dull it was almost funny
Holiday View Hotel is quite comfortable and fortunately we were able to watch a DVD during the long evening. The restaurant was quite good but soulless and overpriced. One tour guide told us that people from his agency hated staying on Cat Ba because it was so dull, and that one had been reduced to tears after a fortnight there
