Do I really need to take a birthing class?
I am 28 wks prego and of course my new midwife and my obgyn before encourage a birthing class. A few of my friends never took a class and are glad that they didn't and they have more than one kid each. I personally don't feel like I really need to take a class. My husband can't go either because he is on a ship and won't be home until right before the baby is born, I hope. I feel like when you have your baby they are going to tell you how to breathe nad all that their anyways and whatever you learn you are going to forget when those labor pains hit. What do you think?

I am 29 weeks and just went to my child education class a couple weekends ago. Honestly ??? It was the biggest waste of time. I already knew everything from reading it on babycenter.com and just researching. There were also too many birth videos to watch. I wanted to learn more details. My advice; read about it and go with the flow . Good luck mommies .posted 04/07/2009 by amastic777
If you are planning on having an epidural, then I'd say no. We signed up for classes that ended up being cancelled and we did not have time to find another one. We rented a dvd and watched the first installment of 10, then decided it just wasn't worth it. We too had heard so many people say the classes didn't help because they forgot everything in the heat of the moment. I ended up having a pretty tramatic labor (for both me and baby) that a class would not have prepared me for, but the time I had my epidural and the baby was coming, instinct took over and all was good. However, I would definitely read up on the stages of labor, dilation, efacement, baby position, etc. so you know what the doctors are talking about every time they check you, and that should be enough. Good luck with everything and congrats on your baby!posted 07/08/2008 by lizzieb788
I paid for a class and then had to miss it because I was on bedrest. So for me it was definitely a waste of money. I don't feel like things went badly for me because I didn't take it. If you don't want to take any classes, don't worry about it :-)posted 04/07/2009 by zeta_lilly
I am expecting my third in a couple weeks and never took a birthing class. I don't think I really missed out on anything. The doctors and nurses will tell you what to do when it is time, and every delivery is so different that no one can really explain what to expect. You should read about it and make sure your coach/partner does the same. Also I HIGHLY recommend getting to know the ins and outs of where you will give birth. Take 2 tours, find out the location and hours of the cafeteria and what the policy on outside food is. Do they have a big tub you can soak in, birthing balls to sit or lay on, a mirror (if you want to watch the baby come out) and the policy on visitors. You will be there for a couple days and will want to know ahead of time what the have to offer.posted 04/03/2012 by Megan64
McMoyler Method is the best class for anyone, natural, epidural, the 'not sure yet' and it's available on DVD or webcast if you don't have the pleasure of living in California. She was a Labor & Delivery nurse for 20 years and as a nurse myself these are the only people besides your husband that actually stay with you through the whole process. L&D nurses have seen it all, your doctor is a great 'baby catcher' and awesome for that unexpected emergency but your L&D nurse is the only person that knows labor! McMoyler is realistic and gives you and particularly your husband the info he needs to actually be helpful and not drive you even more crazy.posted 12/08/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
If you are going for natural birth and have NO books to fall back to to find out how to breath or react when these 'pains' begin - GO to these classes in your 30 weeks and learn how to breath and push - your midwife can help you in the Hospital when it comes to the day, but nobody can prepare you the best - only YOU can in your mind. I didn't have a midwife or classes - just a short paragraph in a book and it help a little bit, but not enough. This was with my first child, but with my second one I had a super Nurse who assisted my husband and showed him what and how he can help me...this gave me the support I needed. Go to these classes at 30 weeks I would say...they will help you and you can teach your hubby when he comes on shore. All the best and keep pushing ;-)posted 07/08/2008 by Wotan
Yesterday I went to my OB and asked if I really need to take these classes. There's so much information on the internet and they also have free online classes and apps. My OB said, "Honestly, don't waste your time on the classes because they teach you this when you get here and coach you through every step of the way." This might not be the same for your hospital, but you could call the hospital maternity and ask them if they do. It's really up to you! I'm pretty sure you have read everything there is to know about labor and delivery. Look into online classes and the birth class apps. Good luck! =)posted 06/05/2013 by DeMOMica
I am not certain if I NEED to take this class. I think maybe for my husband to understand what I am going through. His schedule and mine are very full and busy and the times that are offered will not work. I am 27 weeks along and had a bit of scare last Fri with some pre-term labor but all is fine. I wanted to know if the McMoyler DVD can be rented at the library or something similar?posted 05/15/2013 by jennypooh36
I chose to attend a class before my first child was born, but it was primarily for my HUSBAND! I didn't want him to be surprised by anything. It absolutely helped him to be ready. If it was just me I don't think I would have bothered. Since I was the one giving birth, I had much more incentive to read all about it and learn on my own. Which, for me, was perfectly fine. Besides, the class was free. I don't think I would have paid for one.posted 04/04/2013 by HomeBoss
I went back and forth on the decision. I have read everything I can get my hands on and was present for my BF's 2nd daughter's birth, so I wasn't sure it would be helpful... We did end up going, and now I'm glad I did. For one, it helped hubby to know what was going on (he doesn't read up on this stuff), and how to help me. It also showed me some breathing and positions that I wouldn't have thought of. The best part for me though, and what made it most worthwile was learning how our specific hospital handles things and being able to take the tour. (Of course you can take a tour separately too) Even though I didn't learn too many new things about birth itself, I feel a whole lot more comfortable about the whole process in general now, particularly knowing how our chosen facility specifically handles things.posted 04/07/2010 by MelBell0510

All Episodes
Season 1
Asteroid Blues
Jet and Spike must track down a dealer of "Red Eyes," a dangerous, addictive drug that induces berserker rages in its users. Can even Jet's strength stand up to the power of the drug? And has Spike been swayed by the charms of a mother-to-be?
Stray Dog Strut
Spike and Jet are hired to recover an unusual item that has been stolen from a research laboratory. Spike is led on a wild chase, first by the thief...and then by the item itself!
Honkey Tonk Women
Spike and Jet stumble across Faye Valentine, a wanted criminal, in a casino on Mars. Faye is more than a handful, holding her own against them and the others who are after her as well. Faye is involved in a shady deal involving a secret microchip. Whose side is she really on?
Gateway Shuffle
Spike and Jet come up against an eco-terrorist group known as the "Space Warriors." Their leader is worth a cool 25 million, something Spike and Jet can't resist. But the group's leader has plans of her own, and if the government of Ganymede doesn't agree to her demands, she'll use an experimental virus on them all!
Spike's past comes back to haunt him as he goes after a member of the Red Dragon Syndicate. But, as Jet soon learns, it's a setup. And in order for Spike to survive - and rescue the impetuous Faye as well - he will have to face his old friend and comrade, Vicious, alone.
While chasing another bounty, Spike and Jet meet Wen, a musical child prodigy. But there is something strange about him. Is there a connection between this kid and the stone a man handed to Spike with his dying breath?
Heavy Metal Queens
While chasing his latest prey, Spike meets up with a space trucker named VT. A strong, independent woman, she and Spike become fast friends until VT learns that Spike's a bounty hunter and decides to blow him off. However, Spike and VT's paths cross again, and they'll have to work together if they want to get out alive.
Waltz for Venus
Now that it's been terraformed, Venus is a beautiful planet. Unfortunately, the floating plants used to maintain the environment make some people sick. The Bebop's crew is pursuing another bounty here, and Spike has reluctantly accepted a young man named Roco as a pupil.
Toys in the Attic
There's an intruder on the Bebop! A strange organism roams the ship and its touch causes great illness. One by one, the members of the crew fall prey to it. Is it an alien invader? A disease? Soon, only Spike and Ed are left to deal with this dangerous creature.
Jupiter Jazz pt.1
Faye's abandoned the Bebop...and taken the cash! Meanwhile, Spike sets off on his own to find his long-lost love, Julia, but only after a big fight with Jet. Elsewhere, Faye finds company with a strange man named Gren in the town of Blue Crow, a place without women.
Jupiter Jazz pt.2
All roads lead to Vicious as Spike searches for Julia, Jet tracks down Faye and Faye confronts Gren. But as Spike looks desperately for clues, Julia is nowhere to be found. Gren may have some answers, but Spike will have to get to him before it is too late.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Tollbooths at the interstellar travel gates have become the scene of high-tech robberies, and there's a large bounty for the culprit. The Bebop's crew pools its information and tries to track down the mastermind behind all this, but their only clue is a seemingly worthless chess piece.

Child Dies after Being Left in Hot Daycare Van
It's a fairly easy and horrible equation: Leave a child in a hot car for as little as 15 minutes, and he or she could die. Yesterday it happened again, bringing the total of child deaths due to this tragic occurrence to 29 this year alone.
It happened on a typically hot Florida day: A 2-year-old girl was found dead in a daycare-center van after being left inside the sweltering vehicle for over six hours. Apparently, the daycare-center employees had failed to accurately account for all of the children who boarded the van during the morning pickups. It's still not known whether any charges will be filed in connection with the death.
We know how to keep from inadvertently forgetting our own children in hot cars, but what do you do when your child isn't in your control? Momlogic spoke with Janette E. Fennell, founder and president of KidsAndCars.org, for answers.
"What's so very sad about the story is, the daycare is supposed to have rules, policies and procedures when transporting children," says Fennell. "Two or three people didn't do their jobs."
Fennell says it's up to the childcare provider AND the parent to make sure that a child is transported safely to the destination.
"You need an ironclad policy with your childcare provider that if your child unexpectedly doesn't show up to daycare, someone from the staff will contact you immediately," she says. (Had the daycare center done that in this case, little Haley Brockington would have been discovered in the van sooner -- and tragedy may have been averted.) Conversely, if for any reason you decide not to send your child to daycare on a given day, you should contact the facility.
Help spread the word about hot-car danger: Watch this chilling PSA from KidsAndCars.org -- then pass it on to everyone you know!
I ask all my buddies to check out this web site….
and I hope they will undoubtedly like..
I am for sure a new fan of this website! I enjoy blogs and am glad to find a place where i can speak about those things!
That was interesting . I like your finesse that you put into your writing . Please do continue with more similar to this.
Excellent goods from you, man. I've understand your stuff prior to and you are just too fantastic. I really like what you've bought right here, really like what you're stating and the best way in which you are saying it. You make it enjoyable and you continue to care for to stay it wise. I can not wait to learn far more from you. That is really a wonderful website.
I write to you, because I love your site very much. your one is my preferat website.
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can't resist sharing. Mrs. Agatheâs dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, âIâll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and Iâll mail you the check. Oh, and by the wayâ¦donât worry about my Doberman. He wonât bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!â When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agatheâs apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldnât contain himself any longer and yelled, âShut up, you stupid ugly bird!â To which the parrot replied, âGet him, Spike!â
I like what you guys are usually up too. This sort of clever work and reporting! Keep up the excellent works guys I've added you guys to my personal blogroll.
See, its good to finally see somebody applying some reasonable logic to this. Thanks.
As many others, now is my first moment commenting here. I really adore this website and check it quite often.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Your website provides a great deal of special insights and details. I haven't genuinely assumed about it like that.
My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Get set for more than two weeks of thrills on slopes, rinks and sled tracks as 2,500 athletes from around the world come to Vancouver, British Columbia, for the XXI Winter Olympic Games -- or 21st Winter Olympics. The show starts Friday as competitors walk behind their flags flag in a colorful stadium parade by more than 80 nations. America's 216 athletes will wear vintage-style jackets, turtlenecks and wool hats designed by Polo Ralph Lauren.Opening festivities also will include the lighting of a traditional Olympic flame to end a cross-country torch relay and the premiere of a Haitian earthquake relief music video by more than 70 celebrities singing We Are the World.
Televised action runs through Feb. 28 with activities that include ski jumping, snowboarding, bobsledding, ice dancing, figure skating, hockey and downhill racing. Athletes also will try for gold, silver or bronze medals in sports that are not as well-known -- such as the biathlon (cross-country skiing and target shooting), curling (sliding heavy granite "stones" on ice), luge (one-person or two-person sleds that exceed 90 mph) and skeleton (face-first sledding). Americans with a shot at glory include snowboarder Shaun White, skier Lindsey Vonn, speed skater Shani Davis, ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White, and hockey captains Natalie Darwitz and Jamie Langenbrunner. They and others will keep fans posted via Tweets, which the International Olympic Committee last week said athletes can send "as long as it is about your own personal experience at the Games."
The Winter Olympics, held every four years, are a big deal for broadcasters and a huge challenge for Canadian security forces. NBC will show nearly 200 hours of coverage, with additional programming on the MSNBC and CNBC cable networks. NBC's website (www.nbcolympics.com) has a feed of Twitter message streams from more than 80 athletes.Security precautions on land, air and water are led by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and reportedly cost about $1 billion, five times more than originally estimated. The video below shows safeguards for athletes, fans and dignitaries.
U.S. skater says: "There are a lot of teams who have a shot at the gold medal and we're one of them, so it's a really exciting prospect." -- Meryl Davis, Michigan ice dancer
U.S. official says: "This might be the Twitter Olympics. It'll be interesting to see where it all goes. Our brain waves are now operating in a 140-character mode." -- Bob Condron, U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman
Final Olympic torch carrier: The person who'll light the Olympic flame Friday remains secret, but speculation focuses on Canadian hockey hero Wayne Gretzky or a representative of native people.

Rossi vs Stoner. Le Mans 2012
Daammn I'm so pissed that I didn't see the race live yesterday morning. Rossi finished second after an epic victorious battle against Stoner at the French GP.
I was so ecstatic to hear that Rossi was finally back on the podium, where he belong. I hope this isn't his only podium time like last year. But fuuuckk I regret so much for not waking up early for this race.

UPDATED: the second, ? final ?, official BCS rankings are here.
First off, this post is not intended to belittle Wes Colley. (Later reports indicate that Peter Wolfe may share responsiblity) The error would not have been discovered if, like the other five BCS computer systems, Colley kept his algorithm secret. He deserves credit for this, and the incident should (but won't) spur the others to publicize exactly how their BCS ratings are calculated. I could write once again about how this unfortunate occurrence hurts the credibility of the BCS, but it would have to have some for it to be diminished.
The result of a single FCS game which was not originally considered by Colley resulted in two pairs of bad rankings. In Colley's rankings, Boise State is now #9, LSU is #10, Nebraska is #17, and Alabama is #18. There was absolutely no impact on Alabama's BCS standing. Nebraska's rating increases to 0.3967, but its BCS ranking of #18 remains the same.
The significant impacts were on Boise State and LSU – they switched places in the correct BCS rankings – Boise State is now #10 and LSU is now #11.
A screen capture of the uncorrected Colley ratings is here. The uncorrected "official" PDF is here – the "corrected" one is here (but it has even more problems – the "Rank", "Points", and "%" columns under "Harris Interactive" are mixed up; the "%" column under "USA Today" is actually a repeat of points in the Harris Poll; and the headers of the other two columns do not match the data).

These 5000 pages were the most accessed on the English Wikipedia[a] during the last defined week (see below). The first column is the numerical ranking.[b] The second column is the article title; sometimes the "article" is not really an article, but a script/image/etc.[c] Designations include featured articles/lists (), former featured articles (), good articles (), delisted good articles (), and assessments ( A-class, B-class, C-class, start-class, stub-class, and unassessed-class).[d] Related statistics/counters appear below the table. The third column is the number of page views.[e] See the Top 25 for a manually-compiled weekly report that offers a cleaner version of this list and describes what is driving page popularity.[f] See the weekly redlinks list for that data.

A Signpost article describes these catalysts in much greater detail.
- ^ There is a best effort to link to the article, character encoding issues notwithstanding. Other times, a server message/error code will be erroneously "blue-linked".

San Jose now has a Veggie Grill and an all vegan pizza joint! »
The South Bay is popping off, my friends! Let's all move to San Jose! JKJKJKJK. But on the real, let's visit.
First up, THE WORLD FAMOUS VEGGIE GRILL! Opened in San Jose a couple weeks ago, it's the tasty bomb. Veggie Grill is a hit down in the Los Angeles area and recently made a move to Portland, too. This is our SF Bay Area first outpost of this relatively healthy and extremely delicious mini-chain! It's on Santana Row which means nothing to me, but there you have it. I CANNOT WAIT TO EAT THERE. Until then, let's stare at a picture of a Chicken Caesar Wrap from my last visit down South:
And there's also a FULLY VEGAN PIZZA JOINT in San Jose! Plant Based Pizza looks to be the most delicious, and I want to eat everything on their menu. Calzones, stromboli, hamburgers, hot dogs, a million kinds of pizza! It sounds like paradise!
It's in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, which, again, means nothing to me, but might mean everything to you. People on Yelp are all about the Hawaiian and Indian pizzas, and while this pic from their site looks like they're not using Daiya, the Yelp photos tell a different story. Maybe they're still ironing out who they're going to be?! Either way, let's check this shit out and support a vegan pizza joint, OK!?

Holiday Vegan Bakesale in San Jose on Saturday! »
Santa Clara County Activists for Animals are hosting a vegan bakesale this Saturday, Dec. 17, in San Jose. So many vegan things to do in the Peninsula/South Bay this week, I'm jealous! Writing this post at my Grandma's house in Redwood City, I wonder if I could make a life for myself out here? Living in the city is just so trying sometimes! How's the nightlife out here? Be honest with me.
You might still be able to contribute baked goods to this event, despite the short notice. It runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Garden Theater Atrium, at 1165 Lincoln Ave. in San Jose. The proceeds will go to both SCCAA and the Food Empowerment Project! Visit the event's Facebook page for more details.

Rau Om's mind-blowing new vegan cheese; you must try! »
I just tried this Tofu Misozuke cheese from Rau Om spread on some whole grain crackers and it was SO DAMN GOOD.
Well, not that exactly. What had happened was, when it first arrived, I greedily ripped open the packaging, cut off an enormous chunk, and stuffed it straight in my maw. Then, I spit it out because it was DAMN POTENT. I then read the accompanying information and saw that it was supposed to be eaten like CHEESE. My bad!
Finally I came correct with some crackers and it blew my mind one more time. Creamy, pungent, expensive-tasting, "real" cheese. Like, you could serve this to omni guests and they would eagerly wish to learn more about it, and you would be like, "NOT UNTIL YOU GO VEGAN, OK?" and then they would go vegan and BAM! Look at you and your activism, all saving the world and shit via delicious vegan cheese.
If you want to try this stuff inside the United States, you have two options: You can order from maker Rau Om's online store; or, find them at Sunnyvale and Palo Alto farmers markets. Also, if you have a minute, read this article to learn tons about this kind of cheese, so that you know more about things than everyone else, and can make other people feel stupid when you talk about it. Like, who doesn't know about tofu misozuke!? Philistines!!

LYFE Kitchen to open very soon, and here's the menu! »
LYFE Kitchen (Meave wrote about them earlier this year) is set to open "later this month" (it's already August 23! When, dammit! When!) at 167 Hamilton Ave in Palo Alto. As a refresher, LYFE kitchen is an experimental healthy fast food restaurant from some former McDonald's head honchos, Oprah's chef Art Smith (WHAT'S UP, O!), and vegan chef extraordinaire, Tal Ronnen. Because of Tal's involvement, there are tons of vegan options on the menu, and they all look damn good. That's a picture of the vegan corn chowder, I WILL EAT YOU. I THOUGHT all the desserts were supposed to be vegan, but they're not marked as such, even though that banana run cheesecake sounds like something from Tal's cookbook?? I dunno 'bout that!
I got to interview Art Smith earlier this year and he was a very charming Southern gent of adorability and I fell straight in love with him. He told me Moby played his wedding's after-party (yes, a wedding with an after-party! MARRY ME, ART! I, too, love to party hard!) and the whole thing was vegan (at Moby's insistence, although Art thought it was a great idea, too!). Man, TO BE RICH AND IN LOVE. Although not to be a bitch but to be a total bitch, I'd probably have Leslie Hall play my after-party. Sorry, Moby! You just can't work a gem sweater like my girl Leslie!
Anyway, what do you think of the menu? Will you be going to Palo Alto to eat there? I am pretty sure I will because even though the target demographic is soccer moms, I can eat just as much as those bitches! Also, I'd like this idea to succeed, and for the vegan options to sell well, and for LYFE Kitchen to grow bigger than McDonald's and for us all to eat vegan banana rum cheesecake in a field of dreams! LET'S DO THIS.

Peninsula vegans have a couple new options! »
Where do vegans in the San Francisco Peninsula eat? I'm always spending time there with my family, getting dragged to Cheesecake Factory, as I know of no where I can take my omnivorous family that we will all be happy. I hear there's a Patxi's down there, which I believe the family could get into (I'd totally get my own personal vegan pizza! I love not having to share food!)
Two new eating options have come to my attention and both look extremely tasty. First there is Calafia Cafe, located in Palo Alto. It looks like omni's and vegans have plenty of delicious, fancy, entrees, appetizers, sides and small plates to choose from, plus they have gluten-free options! Everyone wins! I'll have the black bean and rojo tofu tacos, please (I'm kind of obsessed with vegan Mexican food).
Next up, Milk Pail Market in Mountain View. From the website alone, it's hard to tell if they have vegan cheese options, but rumor has it, they carry vegan versions of gouda, monterey jack and pepper jack. How exciting!
Have any readers hit up either of these places? What do you think?

You know how, as a vegan, there are certain places you don't even bother to check out because you already know there's nothing for you? Like 'The Meat Hut' or 'The Cheese Shack' or whatever? You might think MilkShake Werks in Redwood Shores is kind of like that, but you'd be making a huge mistake! Because…VEGAN MILKSHAKES! Yay! SIDE NOTE: Actually, you might think all of Redwood Shores is kind of like that. It's mostly a big tangle of housing developments that sprang up south of Redwood City after Marine World moved away; on first glance not a lot of exciting vegan potential. But again, huge mistake! More on that later.
First, MilkShake Werks and their delicious VEGAN MILKSHAKES! The shop has been there for a while, but we only found out about the vegan shakes recently—surprise! We zoomed over and ordered chocolate-chocolate chip, which was the vegan flavor the owner made that morning. All the ice cream is handmade from scratch (not delivered in bulk by some stinky truck) using plenty of local ingredients. There's always at least one vegan option, but the available flavors are determined by what got made most recently, so call and check if there's a flavor you MUST have. Anyway, back to the shakes: we were sooo happy. Haven't had a "real" milkshake in years and years, and this more than lived up to the memory. It was thick but not TOO thick–-easily drinkable through a straw, no problem. Lots of yummy speckles of dark chocolate throughout. Special bonus: the shakes are served in Greenware cups that are actually made from plants, so no plastic or Styrofoam guilt there.
Once we figured out they had vegan ice cream, I starting nosing around and other possibilities opened up as well. They'll make vegan ice cream cakes! You can have a regular sized one or a cute little one that serves 4 to 6. Also, the hot fudge isn't vegan (boo) but the chocolate sauce is, so you can even pig out on vegan banana splits. Nice.
From 4 to 6 p.m. every day is Milkshake Happy Hour-–20 percent off — and they're always hosting special events like the "Shake It" Milkshake Drinking Contest this Saturday (July 31). The owner says the vegan ice cream has been a hit so far, so keep sending them love!
Now, let's say that for some reason you consider a milkshake or banana split to be merely dessert? There are tons of meal options in easy walking distance. You could try:
Yeah! Chinese: The menu has a vegan-meat section, subbing in faux pork, beef, fish or chicken in some classic dishes, but that's just a starting point – they'll veganize almost anything on the menu. Definitely try the (vegan) sweet-and-sour pork if you're eating with die-hard meat-eaters and want to fool them. It's so realistic we freaked out the first time and demanded proof that it was really fake (it is.) Or if faux meat isn't your thing, they have a big selection of veggie-based main courses also.
Or how about Ike's Place: Yes, I said Ike's Place! Almost no one knows about their Redwood Shores location because it's tucked in an office building and is phone-order only, but no problem–-just call from the parking lot then stroll in for the BEST VEGAN SANDWICHES EVER. (You may have to duck in to grab a copy of their huge menu first.) Just try not to hog all the soy cheese because they sometimes run out, OK? I want some too.
Or Amici's: Yes, a Redwood Shores location! Their vegan pizza used to be kind of meh, and now is great because they switched to Daiya cheese. And their pizza sauce has no hidden meat–-only tomatoes, basil, garlic and salt–-so you can go ahead and order any pizza you want, just ask for the vegan cheese. Yum yum yum.
Thanks to writer/illustrator/vegan/feral cat feeder/Vegansaurus reader Rhonda for this fabulous write-up on what to do in Redwood Shores! If you want to highlight your town and let readers know about what the vegan options are, holler at your dino! Or your other dino! All of the dinos are here to serve you. I actually think this is kind of a rad idea because we can't fully cover all the vegan options in the Bay Area, so if we've neglected your slice of the Bay, we want to know!

it's so frustrating that the cost of living in maui is so high. we are never going to be able to move out of our parents houses. although i don't mind living with my parents, i do miss having our own space. it's times like these that i regret moving back home. we had it good in the mainland. i think eventually we'll make it back there, where things are affordable and you get paid what you're supposed too. we just gotta save up and we're gonna do it!
things are finally getting better and that makes me soo happy <3

- Great food, great serviceTJM9981Dined on 8/22/2014Very impressed with all aspects of our dinner experience at Prime. Nothing was too much trouble - the service was impeccable and the food wonderful. The meal was also good value for money - not cheap, but well-priced for the quality and portion size.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All of my expectations were meetAmazingDined on 8/22/2014The Prime has an unbelievable staff, wish I could remember the names of each and everyone that served our table and were so attentive to our needs and requests. The ambiance of the Prime was breath taking we were fortunate enough to dine directly in front of the Bellagio pond and our night could not have been better. The food was prepared to perfection my steak and lobster tail literally melted in my mouth, my wife lamb was the best that she every tasted. Great job to the entire staff!Special Features:
- Splendid - just splendidSchmidt77Dined on 8/21/2014There is not much to say about Prime....it's a fantastic place. Great food, great service from a friendly staff, great atmosphere and great location. This was our second visit and the only thing that was disappointing this time around was the fact that the outdoor patio was closed due to some private party. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prime @ BellagioDavesTableDined on 8/21/2014This was our fourth experience at Prime and to say it was one of the high points of our stay in Vegas is no understatement (as expected). This establishment again met and exceeded our expectations. I can not speak to the Seafood or Chicken menu but the steak is fantastic I have now had Filet Mignon, Porterhouse and Lamb, I had to go back to the Filet this trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SteakMikeyADined on 8/20/2014This steak house is what you'd expect at Bellagio. The steak was one of the best I ever had. Waiter was outstanding. View was terrific. Definitely high end.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1 of the bestShadydealDined on 8/19/2014My wife and I have been celebrating our wedding anniversary at this great restaurant for the past 12 years. We just celebrated our 30th and had the front table outside looking at the Bellagio Fountains. We don't just go here for special occasions, whenever we are in town this is a dining priority. Special occasion or just in the mood for great food, great service and a wine list that is equaled (acceptSpecial Features:
- Nice restaurant, everything perfectjmcuryDined on 8/18/2014Our reservation was well succeeded, we just had to wait for the table to be ready. Delicious dinner. Great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great steak house for any occassionErictheRedCdnDined on 8/18/2014Another great experience at Prime. One of my favorite steakhouses in the country. Went to dinner with three of my colleagues and a customer and we were welcomed with the what we believed to be the best table in the house. The decor as well as the staff of the restaurant, make this an experience all to its own prior to even sitting down to order. Looking out over the fountains directly from our table we ordered a great bottle of wine and proceeded to order apps and main courses. I went with the blue cheese wedge and the NY Peppercorn steak. They were again magnificent. Well cooked and wonderfully, tasty. Finished it all up with a few nice desserts to share. Well worth the time. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Steakhouse in TownFrancescoDined on 8/17/2014I go to Prime everytime I'm in Vegas. A trip to Vegas just isn't complete without eating here. We came to Vegas to celebrate our 10 year anniversary just so we could eat at Prime. Great ambiance, friendly staff, remarkable wine selection, and breath taking views of the famous Bellagio Water fountain show. Perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you PrimeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatbtymeDined on 8/16/2014We celebrated my birthday and our 16th Wedding Anniversary. Once we told them, they moved us to prime seating where we could see the fountains. Food was great, and service was excellent.Special Features:
- Very good... but $gatogizmoDined on 8/16/2014Prime was delicious. Everything tasted very good, but it wasn't excellent. For the price, I expected a little more relative to other high end steak houses on the Strip. The best was the Filet Mignon by far. Dry aged Rib Eye was good, but not stellar.Special Features:
- A Bit DisappointedMikeVIPDined on 8/16/2014The wife and I ate here last week for my 40th Birthday dinner and my expectations were high. But the experience didn't come close. When I order a steak, especially a $65 steak, I expect it to be mouth watering delicious without any added flavoring. No steak sauce. Not even extra salt and pepper. This one needed help. Is that why they automatically serve it with a trio of sauces? I was glad they did, or else, I would be writing a two-star review. But a top shelf steak should not have had to be saved. To be fair, my wife had sautéed scallops and loved them. I won't dwell on the high prices because you should know what you are getting into when you make this reservation. I was also disappointed at our table far from any view of the fountains.Special Features:
- Exciting BirthdayShaitownDined on 8/16/2014For my first experience with a upscale dining Prime was an awsome experience. I only had one problem I order a steak well done and it came meduim rare and I had to send it back. When my food return I noticed it was the same steak recooked which made the quaility of the steak not be the best. Overall I love the view from where we was sitted and the customer service was at an all time high. Thank you for a FABULOUS experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- More hype than quality!Love2eatDined on 8/16/2014Took my husband here for his birthday while we were in Vegas; unfortunately, the steak houses that we visit in Houston were far better quality. While the steak was good, the sides were not (potatoes and spinach). We were so excited to go to Prime after reading web reviews for Bellagio... We won't return. Our server was great...Special Features:
- Dinner DelayOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/16/2014Waiter service was good but problem in the kitchen caused us to wait over an hour for our dinner. No explanation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible Wagyu BeefLatasteNJDined on 8/15/2014Prime is one of the best, if not the best steakhouse in the country. The servers at Prime were extremely attentive and knowledgeable, as expected at such a fine dining establishment. The food was amazing... The truffle gnocchi melt in your mouth and the Wagyu beef cuts are to die for. We waited a little longer for the appys and dinner to come out than preferred, which was probably to allow for us to feel relaxed and not at all rushed. Prime is highly recommended for romantic high-end dinners, guys night out, and even for families with acquired tastes. Follow up dinner with dessert on the terrace and enjoy a private showing of the water ballet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prime is PrimeWizzDined on 8/15/2014I do not care what food they served, the meal I received was excellent. What am I saying... The service was superb, attentive, and would adore anything on the plate with such care as to make it a divine. The menu is "basically" beef... but what beef, and the accoutrements made the steak superb... the basic steak house iceberg lettuce salad was very well adorned and the blue cheese dressing was memorable. I am a bread pudding freak and the Prime version is not to be missed. This is a bucket list dining experience... not to be missed. Bring your cash and enjoy the experience!Special Features:
- Romance, Ambience, & Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014My wife and I recently celebrated our Anniversary in Vegas, and I found Prime online, and booked a romantic dinner for two for our first evening there. I was not disappointed! We were seated outside on the patio looking out onto the famous Bellagio Fountain Show. The view was outstanding, and the ambience made for an incredibly romantic evening. The service was excellent, and I enjoyed perhaps the best steak I have had in quite a long time!! This type of evening doesn't come cheap so be prepared for a very expensive meal, but well worth every penny!Special Features:
- Sarah Robinson/BellSarahRobinsonDined on 8/13/2014We went as a special occasion for our honeymoon, couldn't believe when we were sat with a view of the fountains! Absolutely amazing! Food, service and wine all incredible! Thank you Prime!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodFilletsDined on 8/11/2014Was expecting a great meal and did not receive it. My friend did not care for the unusual Caesar Salad Dressing. The onion soup I had was outstanding as was the mac & cheese. My friend ordered the fillet and asked for it to be cooked medium well. I had the fillet and asked for it to be cooked medium. Both fillets were extremely rare and cold. I have dined at the Prime in the past and was pleased on those occasions but greatly disappointed this trip.Special Features:
- AwesomeFlipFlopCraftsDined on 8/10/2014We had an awesome time. It is an exceptional restaurant to eat at.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great placewillDined on 8/9/2014Steaks were great. I had high expectations and they were met. The service was great and the staff was friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MemoriesjovanlibraDined on 8/9/2014Whether it's the food, service, ambiance, wine list, or overall experience, Prime scored all the perfect points. Greatest experience I had in Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StacieDined on 8/9/2014The food was amazing. The service was top notch. The only complaint was that they require men to wear pants, which on the open table mobile app it only indicates Business Casual. So this was a big inconvenience as they guys had to borrow pants from the restaurant in order for us to eat there. Kind of embarrassing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very DisappointedEatsoutoftenDined on 8/8/2014The staff is cold and uncaring, we had asked for a table of 4 at or near the window for a 50th Anniversary Celebration at 8:15p. told we would have to wait until 10pm to haave a table at or near the window, gave us a table in between 2 large tables of a very loud party instead, could hardly heard the waiter, much less ourselves. The service was not up to standard and food was what one would expect to recieve at a coffee shop. What was stated on the menu was not what was delivered to the table, no explanation or excuses. It was apparent that the chef just fixed whatever he felt like and didn't care hat we ordered. The steak was tough and the fish came with a different sauce. Having food allergies I am careful what I order.
- Worth Every Dollarilovefood22Dined on 8/7/2014It's a little pricey, but worth every dollar! The food was amazing and our server was spot on. Loved the luxurious feel and that I could see the fountains from our seats! Will eat here again and again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic DinnerRedfilly1976Dined on 8/7/2014We had a great time eating dinner at Prime. We had a wonderful table at the window so we could enjoy the fountains before/after the sun setting. The food was delicious. It was very pricy though so be prepared. Our meal for two with only one mixed drink and no appetizer was over $200 with tip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a Show!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/5/2014this restaurant has elegant indoor and intimate outdoor dining. weather permitting i highly recommend the outdoor, the fountain show is not to be missed. the service is unbeatable and the food is very goodSpecial Features:
- Very disappointedJMBBoscoDined on 8/4/2014We had the highest of expectations of Prime and were sorely disappointed. Our primary server had zero personality. She seemed annoyed to be serving 3 young men in their early 30s (despite the fact we were the best dressed group in the place) as if we weren't the right clientele. Also, the manager never approached our table; which you think would be standard at a fine dining establishment. Our steaks were average at best; the filet and ribeye were ok (we've had better for $30) and my porterhouse was like cutting through a tire. The absolute worst part was not telling me they charged $5 each to add cheese and bacon to my potato! It's not a lot of money considering the hundreds we were spending, it's the principal of never disclosing it.

Chimney blaze in ClarendonStaff report | December 07,2013CLARENDON Firefighters from three towns responded to a chimney fire that was put out before it could do much damage to a home on Route 7B North in Clarendon.
A corner of the home at 614 Route 7B was in flames when firefighters arrived at the scene around 8:30 p.m. Friday, said Clarendon Fire Chief Norman Flanders.
However, despite a pump malfunction on one of the Clarendon fire engines, requiring assistance from departments in Rutland City and Wallingford, the blaze was quickly knocked down.
No one was injured in the fire.

In association with
Norton granted £625,000 government-backed loan
By Andy Downes -
General news
01 August 2011 17:45
British bike firm Norton has been granted the first of a new government-backed trade loan after a visit today by Business Secretary Vince Cable at the Donington Park HQ.
The loan is the first of its kind and has been made under the Exports Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme (ExEFG). The funding will support the company's plans to increase production to 1,000 motorcycles a year.
It is one of four trade finance schemes promised as part of the Trade White Paper, a key part of the Plan for Growth. Under ExEFG, the high street bank Santander is lending £625,000 to Norton.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
"Trade and investment are essential to driving our economy and encouraging small businesses to export more is at the heart of that. This iconic company, whose brand once inspired a generation of motor cycle enthusiasts, is a prime example of British business innovation. I hope that many more companies are inspired by what Norton is going to achieve through this funding.
"I would encourage all companies to take a closer look at the export financing now on offer that could support their business goals."
Norton also plans to double their workforce to 60 full time staff by 2012 and significantly extend their factory.
Norton boss Stuart Garner said:
"The ExEFG scheme has enabled our business to grow rapidly to meet the demands of an ever increasing international customer base and I am thrilled we now have the opportunity to take on more staff to join our team.
"This scheme will not only benefit Norton and the local area, by supporting enterprising firms across the country it will help drive forward the British economy."
You can see the visit on BBC news this evening where Norton sales chief and British Superbike racer Chris Walker will be showing off some stunts on a Norton Commando in front of the factory.

A General Framework for Measuring VAT Compliance Rates
AbstractSummary measures of VAT compliance rates are valuable for identifying problem areas in VAT implementation. They are also essential for meaningful cross-country and cross-time comparisons of VAT compliance. We present a comprehensive and general framework for calculating VAT compliance rates at both the economy-wide and detailed sectoral levels. Unlike existing measures of VAT compliance, our framework isolates a compliance measure from the effects on VAT receipts of detailed features of VAT systems as actually implemented by tax authorities. These features include multiple VAT rates, exemptions, registration rates, refund limitations, informal activity, taxation of domestic non-residents, and undeclared imports. We implement our comprehensive VAT compliance measure for Vietnam, a country with a complex VAT system. Our estimate of Vietnam's VAT compliance rate is about eleven percentage points higher than that calculated by the most popular measure of compliance, collection efficiency (CE). Our method facilitates decomposition of the difference between CE and our VAT compliance measure into the individual contributions of statutory and structural features of Vietnam's VAT regime.

Pigs on a Blanket
- SERVINGS: One 11-by-15-inch galette
This is an elevated take on a party crowd pleaser, reimagined with smoky chorizo and tangy sauerkraut.
Slideshow: All-American Appetizers
- The Ultimate Savory Pie Crust dough
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup drained sauerkraut, plus more for serving
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
- 3 ounces Spanish chorizo, cut into 1 1/4-by-1/4-inch matchsticks
- Snipped chives, for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle; transfer to the baking sheet. Fold the dough edge over itself to form a 1/2-inch border all around and pinch the corners together. Refrigerate until firm.
- In a bowl, whisk the crème fraîche with the mustard. Spread the mixture over the dough, then sprinkle with the sauerkraut. Brush the edges with the egg wash.
- Bake the galette in the bottom third of the oven for 10 minutes. Scatter the chorizo evenly over the galette and bake for 15 minutes longer, until the edges are slightly puffed. Cut the galette into squares and garnish with chives. Serve with spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut.

Cowboys cornerback Bryan McCann was charged with public intoxication earlier today, following his arrest. McCann was released at approximately 11 am, and he has since released a statement claiming that he was not drunk.
"I was not intoxicated and did not pose a danger to myself or others," McCann said in a statement released through his agent John Biggins. "I am very grateful that, due to the Constitution and Americans' strong and enduring belief in due process, I am presumed innocent of this public intoxication charge because I am innocent.
"My good name and reputation mean everything to me," McCann said in his statement. "I have never been arrested before and take pride in conducting myself at all times in a responsible and respectful manner off the football field."

Looking up: Apex One's Mid-Market rooftop street art gallery
I was a little devastated when I found that the owner of Ricardo "Apex" Richey's Market and Sixth Street studio -- where he painted his canvases of street art abstractions -- had sold the building to a new owner intent on converting the raw space to tech offices. What of the Asian-run garment factories, the rickety elevators? And what, more importantly, of the rooftop that Apex had the run of, where he'd let his street art friends paint huge burners? Over the years, the space had converted into a guestbook of sorts, with murals done by Mona Caron, Neon, Chez.
In our recent interview, which appeared in this week's paper, Richey told me that the owner had mentioned that though he intended to gut the structure, he may leave the rooftop gallery standing. Hopefully, that's the case. In the meantime, here's some shots from those sky-level works -- and a few snaps of Richey's murals from the Sixth Street neighborhood's past and present. Hopefully whatever 'hood he finds for his next studio space will benefit just as much from the aerosol artist's work.

The Black Keys Think Spotify Is Fine For Indie Artists, Not So Much For Them
The question of whether or not bands should put their music on Spotify has been a hot one lately, as several small record labels deflected from the site and bigger acts like Tom Waits and Adele refrained from offering up their new albums on the service. Well, VH1 News caught up with one of Spotify's most recent abstainers, The Black Keys, to see why they decided to make fans pay for El Camino.
Get More: Music Videos, Free Music Videos
You can check out the video above, but the general gist of the band's argument is scale: Indie artists benefit from the service because it provides exposure, while larger bands — who don't need the hype — just lose out on album sales.
"[Streaming services] are becoming more popular, but it still isn't at a point where you're able to replace royalties from record sales with the royalties from streams," drummer Patrick Carney told VH1. "For a band that makes a living selling music, it's not at a point where it's feasible for us."
(It should be noted, however, that the band's popular single, "Lonely Boy," is available on the service, serving as a sort of teaser for fans looking for more.)
On the other hand, Carney does see services like Spotify and Pandora as advantageous to smaller bands, as they provide them with a lot more visibility and reach.
Carney's argument makes a lot of sense in some ways. Personally, I don't steal music, so before Spotify etc came along I was kind of hurting for tunes (listening to the amount of music that I do can be expensive). If El Camino had been available on Spotify, it would have been highly unlikely that I would have purchased the album — unless it was on vinyl at a show or part of an awesome special edition. Therefore, yes, the band is losing money when it comes to honest fans who don't fileshare.
Still, what about those less-than-honest folks? Spotify's big conceit when it comes to offering up music on a subscription basis has oft been: "Hey, it's better than piracy." An argument that some bands aren't quite content with yet. Is it really better to accept less than sticker price just because it's better than straight-out theft? Should you really have to rely on merch sales and an exhaustive touring schedule to make money? That's been the refrain we've been hearing for years now: "Bands don't make money on music anymore. It's the other stuff than brings in the cash."
We're still in the infancy stage when it comes to music subscription services — even though digital music and its dissemination first cropped up years ago in the Napster era — and major labels and players are still grappling with what it means to sell music online.
It remains to be seen how much services like Spotify will mitigate piracy, a practice that many of the big guys credit with the decline of the music industry (although recent studies seem to indicate that it has, indeed, had an effect). And, subsequently, it remains to be seen if a decrease in thievery will be enough when it comes to value for musicians.
What do you think? Is Spotify a boon to artists? Or a potential drain on their incomes?

Using Win7 upgrade over again for laptop
My laptop and desktop both started on Vista. The desktop was upgraded to Windows 7, then Win8 and 8.1, but the laptop is still Vista. It occurred to me that I still have the upgrade disk for 7. Now that it's no longer being used on the desktop can I legitimately use it on the laptop without Microsoft having a fit? It makes sense to me since it's currently not in use on any computer.

If this is a retail Upgrade version of Windows 7 then it can migrate to any other PC that qualifies because it either came with XP or Vista, or there is a retail copy of either available to qualify for Windows 7 Upgrade. The qualifier doesn't need to be installed, you can Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version.
However if this is a Windows 7 Upgrade Kit that came with a Vista PC it may be tied to the Vista PC it was first installed upon. Look on the Disk now to see what it says and type it all out for us so we'll be able to advise you better.
Either way you'll need a readable Product Key which should be on an insert with the disk packaging. With that Product Key you can use the latest official installer with SP1 for the licensed version provided in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7, which steps will also assure a perfect install even for retail.

Ohhh.. It's a retail box but I just looked at it and realized it's 64 bit and the laptop is 32 bit. Oh well. Thanks for making me look at the box at least!

You can use either 64 or 32 bit Windows 7 with each license. The installer for either bit version is provided in the tutorial I linked.
When you say the laptop is 32 bit, does that mean the OS currently installed? Most processors are all 64 bit so that is an option if you want to try it. I use 32 bit on 4gb or less RAM but many others use 64 bit down to 2gb RAM and have good performance.
The install you have on there now has no bearing whatsoever on the one you will be doing since you should always boot the installer and delete all partitions during Clean Install Windows 7 Steps 7 and 8. The drivers are all in the installer or quickly updated when you get online to do all rounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates, so put your network adapter driver in your backup in case it's needed.

Haha Most modern processors may be 64 bit. This laptop is from 2007, I'm pretty sure if it was 64bit they would have advertised it. I'll look through your link more thoroughly, thanks.

That CPU is 64 bit. Any Core 2 Duo would be. ARK | Intel® Core
I would personally install 32 bit on there with the 2gb RAM that came with it, but if you wanted to upgrade to 4gb then you could try 64 bit.

Thanks, good to know. My key is for the OEM disc I bought from NewEgg though. Will OEM be a problem?

OEM version lives and dies with the first mobo it is installed upon.
It qualifies for Upgrade version which has a similar price break, since it originally came with Vista - even if Vista is not installed on it, you can Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version.
