Feynman Diagram
View Single Post
Jan5-05, 06:17 PM
Sci Advisor
Feynman's diagrams are the lingua fraca (sp?) of much of theoretical physics. As such, hundreds of books describe and explain the diagrams.Zee's new book on QFT, F. Gross' Relativistic QM and FT, Bjorken and Drell's texts, Collins, Martin and Squires, Particle Physics and Cosmology,Gauge Theories in Particle Physics by Aitchison& Hey, QED and the Men Who Made It -- Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonoga ( a superb book), and the master's original paper Space-Time Approach to QED, Feynman in Quantum Electrodynamics, Dover, Schwinger -- a collection of the key QED papers up to the late 50s -- all of these works, a mere drop in the bucket, cover diagrams. I'm more familiar with the older literature, but I've got to bet that over the past five years, say, 50 to 100 books have come out, dealing in one way or another with diagrams. There's plenty to keep you occupied.
Basically each diagram represents a term in perturbation theory, according to well defined rules. Note also, that Feynman diagrams are used in nonrelativistic theories -- solid state physics, nuclear phyics for example.

About Heidi
Meet Heidi Murkoff, the author of What to Expect When You're Expecting.
It all started with a baby…and a book. Heidi Murkoff conceived the idea for What to Expect When You're Expecting during her first pregnancy, when she couldn't find answers to her questions or reassurance for her worries in the books she'd turned to for much-needed advice. Determined to write a guide that would help other expectant parents sleep better at night, Heidi delivered the proposal for What to Expect When You're Expecting just hours before delivering her daughter, Emma.
Dubbed the "pregnancy bible," the iconic New York Times bestseller is now in its all-new fourth edition, with over 17 million copies in print, and according to USA Today, is read by 93 percent of women who read a pregnancy book. Other titles in the series include Eating Well When You're Expecting, What to Expect the First Year, What to Expect Before You're Expecting (a complete preconception plan), and the newest member of the What to Expect family: What to Expect the Second Year, the must-have guide for parents of toddlers. The What to Expect books have sold more than 34 million copies in the US alone, and are published in over 30 languages.
In 2005, Heidi expanded the What to Expect (WTE) brand online with WhatToExpect.com — the interactive companion to the WTE books, and home to a vibrant, vast, yet close-knit community of over two million parents. In 2009, WTE went mobile with the WTE Pregnancy Tracker (the most popular pregnancy app in the world), followed by the WTE Fertility Tracker, the WTE Baby Name Finder, the WTE First Year Tracker, and the WTE Grow With Me Video Flip Book. Most recently, Heidi helped turn her iconic book into a feature film — What to Expect When You're Expecting — acting as executive producer. A comedy that features five intertwining couples whose lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood, the film stars an ensemble cast including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock, and Elizabeth Banks.
Heidi's passionate commitment to moms and babies led to the creation of the What to Expect Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping underserved families expect healthy pregnancies, safe deliveries, and healthy, happy babies. With a beautiful, culturally appropriate low-literacy pregnancy guide (provided at no cost) and comprehensive prenatal health literacy support, the WTE Foundation's groundbreaking Baby Basics program — available in English, Spanish, and Chinese — has helped over 500,000 expectant moms-to-be in need and their babies.
Heidi has appeared on hundreds of television and radio shows, including the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, The Early Show, Oprah, BBC Breakfast, and Good Morning Australia. And she was named to the 2011 Time 100, Time Magazine's list of the top 100 most influential people of the year. She connects with her WTE family on her blog on WhatToExpect.com, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.
Heidi and her husband, Erik, have two children and live in Southern California.

Two franchises are approaching the three-million attendance mark in team history: the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (High Class A; Carolina League) and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Class AA; Eastern League).
The Pelicans need just 4,302 more fans in attendance this season to hit the milestone, and the team expects to celebrate it this weekend. Myrtle Beach has seen 165,621 fans come out to 51 games at TicketReturn.com Field this season. That total brings the all-time regular season attendance number up to 2,995,698 since the team's 1999 inception.
"This is a remarkable milestone for baseball on the Grand Strand," said Pelicans General Manager Scott Brown. "The amount of support from local communities and tourists alike has been just amazing over the last decade-plus. We're not able to continue to provide the entertainment we do without fans embracing the team and ballpark as their own. They've answered that bell, above and beyond, time and time again. This is just a special way to say thanks!"
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats are expecting their three millionth fan during the team's next homestand from August 14-19. In 2012, the Fisher Cats have posted an attendance of 285,435, leaving them 27,477 shy of three million entering tonight's series finale with Erie. With an average attendance of 5,597 this season, the team is on target to surpass 300,000 for the seventh consecutive year.
The three-million mark comes just two seasons after the team welcomed the two-millionth fan in May of 2010. The team reached one million fans during the 2007 season.

Everything about the holidays seems cheerful and bright to most of us. But we forget that there are some people who dread the holidays.
As things change in our lives, the holidays can bring back heartbreaking memories. For some families, it is the first year without a loved one who has died, or it is the first Christmas with a new blended family, which means mom and dad are with different people, and family traditions are perhaps distorted or discarded.
Dr. Valerie Robinson is a psychiatrist at the Texas Tech Health Science Center. She says, especially when young children are involved, it can make a difficult situation worse by ignoring what is different.
"Elephant in the room that everyone knows about but isn't saying anything. Talking about it can help the healing process," says Dr. Robinson.
Dr. Robinson says don't overlook the family member who, instead of grieving over a loss, appears upbeat over the holidays. That could be a clue that person is hiding their emotions and needs to talk.
So, if you are one of the lucky ones, count your blessings but let's remember to be sensitive to those who go through the motions of holiday happiness, with a broken heart.
For NewsChannel 11, I'm Marsha Sharp with Sharp Advice from Texas Tech.

Plus I can easy get confused or tongue tied so it is a good idea to have it all written down some place.
First you will need to know how you are going to apply the chemical mix. Figuring ratios for a pump up sprayer is easy, but the most common piece of equipment for this need is the pressure washer. So you first must know what dilution ratio or fixed mixing ratio your machine puts out. This can be easy for some, but many customers call me all the time saying they have no idea how much chemical their machine takes in and how diluted it is sprayed out.
The first place to look is in your machines owner's manual. It should give you info like its flow rate or the gallons per minute the machine can generate plus its fixed mixing ratio. This can vary by machine and some larger models may even have a dial that allows the operator to change the mixing ratio. Another place to look if you no longer have your manual or if you bought your equipment second hand and never had one is on the internet by putting you make and model number into the search engine. You can also sometimes go to a local dealer that may have manuals in stock or that can order one for you.
So lets us say your machine has a permanent setting of 1:7 and you need to take your concentrated chemical and get it up to a 1:25 application ratio. So you need to figure out how much water to add to your chemical, that once it is placed in the chemical mixing tank or suction hose dropped in the container you are down streaming from, your machine will produce the needed 1:25 ratio.
This means we have to use the algebra we never thought we would ever need once we learned it and then for got back in school and create a mathematical equation to do our work for us.
First we will put the dilution we need to end up with on the left side of the equation (see below)
Next we have the detergent, 'd' and water to think about. Say we want to make a 5 gallon container, 'p' of chemical product mix. And (p-d) is the amount of water we need in the container and 7p is the additional amount of water that the machine will be adding while dispensing the contents of the container. So we set p=5 gallons and we solve for d and find that d=1.538 gallons of detergent.
1 = ____d_____
25 (p – d) + 7p
What I suggest is that you go to this site, bookmark it, make the calculations for all the products you regularly use knowing your own machines ratio and our products dilution rates or the ones you use with our products. I would then round the results and make a dilution chart to keep as a mixing guide.
Here are just some examples from what a few customers I know have and the products they use as some examples.
Customer #1 uses Brown Derby with cold water that we suggest mixing at 1:50. His machine is set from the factory at a 1:20 ratio and he mixes his premix in 5 gallon pails that sit on his truck.
His equation would look like this
1 = ______d_______
50 (5 – d) + 20*5
But in the calculator it looks like this
Final Mixing Ratio:
Pressure Washer Mixing Ratio:
Desired Volume of Pre-mix: gal†
Pre-mix Concentration:
fl. oz
Giving this customer the directions to take 2 gallons (rounded down) of our Brown Derby with 3 gallons (rounded up) of water to make his pre mixed 5 gallon pails to down stream with his machine to get a very close 1:50 ratio of cleaner to water.
Next let's take one more case:
Customer #2 uses Mighty Max as a house wash at a 1:20 ratio and his machine is set at a 1:7 ratio. He on the other hand only wants his 5 gallon pails filled with 3 gallons of mix so they are easier to carry to move around the houses. His results would be this:
Or if rounded, 1 ¼ gallon of Mighty Max to 1 ¾ gallons of water, making a slightly greater than 1:20 mixture.
Once you know your normal values you can adjust the mixtures as needed for other considerations like water temperature, air temperature, or amount of product you have left available to do a job. How to estimate soap use for your whole season will be kept for a later post. Use this winter time off now to make these charts and you will be better prepared for spring.

BBC News is looking extremely sleek today. At first I thought I was on the wrong page! I always read their Health News pages and today was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant and modern new look.
The BBC have decided to remove the old fashioned left sidebar and now have all their navigation along the top of the page. The right hand side shows features, most popular news of the week and also has relevant links to video material on iPlayer.
They have provided a guided tour of their new layout which helps to explain where things are and why they have moved. The design aims to be cleaner and provides more space for better quality pictures and videos.
Alongside each story they now show other relevant stories. Each video page displays a better quality and larger video with links to other videos. This will possibly revolutionise the way the BBC share its news content.
They are now provide social networking links to that we can share the news easier with friends and family. Well done BBC! Right, now time for a Webologist.co.uk makeover!

GPRShort for ground penetrating radar, a UWB imaging technology used for subsurface earth exploration. GPR uses electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering to image and identify changes in electrical and magnetic properties in the ground. GPR systems have wide applications, such as locating underground utility lines, monitoring airplane runways for structural integrity, detecting unexploded land mines, conducting groundwater studies or forensic research and surveying land for construction purposes.
The FCC has mandated that GPR must operate below 960 MHz or in the frequency band 3.1-10.6 GHz and a GPR system can only operate when in contact with or in close proximity to the ground for the purpose of detecting and imaging subsurface anomalies, such as buried objects, sinkholes or underground caves and fluctuations in the earth's composition. The FCC has limited GPR operation to law enforcement, fire and rescue organizations, scientific research institutions, commercial mining companies and construction companies.

Shedding antlers sometimes is uneventful when they just fall off, and other times there may be a little shakin' or snaggin' going on. Check out this white buck — unusual in itself — that shakes off its antlers and then freaks out when they go flying!
Shed Hunting
Shed Antler in the food plot.
With the season here and gone in NW Missouri, we start to turn our focus to hunting shed antlers and start planning for the spring gobbler season. This past weekend, I made a trip to the farm to hang a trail camera to get a better idea on how many bucks are still packing...

How, When and Why Whitetail Bucks Shed Their Antlers Each Year
Tiny snowflakes floated from the sky as I slowly made my way through a thick tangle of brush. With each step, February's wintery chill nipped at my face. Although I had no weapon, I was hunting whitetails with all of the passion I had in November. By Charles J. Alsheimer But on this winter...

amg review
The LOX's highly publicized and drawn-out defection from Puffy's Bad Boy Records to DMX's Ruff Ryder camp was imperative. Not only because Puffy's glossy sound openly clashed with the group's thug mentality, but the change of scenery also furnished Jadakiss, Sheek, and Styles with an opportunity to assert their own identity. While the LOX as a unit do not offer much in terms of topical dexterity, Jadakiss is one the industry's most underappreciated lyricists, which he clearly reiterates on his solo cut "Blood Pressure." Ruff Ryders in-house producer Swizz Beatz handles most of the production duties, and although his syncopated production can become repetitious, DJ Premier ("Recognize") and Timbaland ("Ryde or Die Bitch," featuring Eve and Drag-On) provide some much-needed diversity with their signature sounds. The rowdy lead single, "Wild Out," is an obvious reworking of Jay-Z's "Jigga My Nigga," but it was a hit on rap radio. ~ Matt Conaway, Rovi

Hey there.. I have a little Man or Miss due in March and I have picked out names....... Everyone hates them. I LOVE THEM!! LOL
I have Ivy Charlotte and Eden Jayde chosen for a girl..
I have Jasper Daniel and Archer James for a boy....
I already have a Jakob, Oliver and Ariel.. I know I should just name them what I like but it's pretty off-putting having family that says 'Ewww' when I hint at names...
What do y'all think? :)
We have Memphis Matthew Oliver, Talisyn Elijah Xavier (Tali or Talibear 99% of the time) and Keirnan Akimah Zephyr - I like to think they're 'unusual' rather than 'weird'!!! ;)This post was edited by AliciaEaton at January 7, 2013 8:35:03 PM EST
I love Eden and Archer. Our daughter's middle name is Eden. I have a boy due in March as well and would love to use Archie but it doesn't go with our surname : (

Adam Flowers."Last week he actually put up an ad on the internet that he was a 14-year-old female looking to have some fun," said Undersheriff West.Surveillance video from the movie theatre shows a deputy walking into the movie theatre to confront Duclos. When the confrontation turned into a scuffle, the deputy called for back-up. "The predators go to where the kids are, the kids don't go where the predators are," said Lt. Flowers.Once deputies had Duclos cuffed, they took a look at his car. "He had a Yukon Denali in the parking lot with a sun visor on in the middle of the night," said Lt. Flowers.Flowers says the sun visor shielded the pillows and blankets inside Duclos' car from plain sight. Canadian County officials say Duclos solicited sex via text message with deputies disguised as the 14-year old. Officials say Duclos was just one man who responded to their online ad."Sadly enough within about 24- hours we had a lot of hits," said Undersheriff West.Canadian County officials say both Duclos and Jeremy Gibbs sent text messages with inappropriate pictures with a person they believed was a teenage girl. Officials say some of these images include male genitalia, which is why deputies are working to get sex predators off the street.Undersheriff West says as deputies continue to track down sex predators, he advises parents to keep a close eye on their children and their electronics. "You always have to be mindful of what your kids are doing, not only on the computers, but with their cell phones as well," he said.Both Duclos and Gibbs were booked into the Canadian County Jail, charges are pending.

- Great servicedannyDined on 9/19/2014As is typical, the service was great. We had Ben this time and the cocktails came amazingly quickly and cold, wine almost instantly and the food piping hot. A great job. The food is always terrific, fresh Mahi in one case, Yellowtail in another--beautiful and delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ExperienceJedLDined on 9/13/2014I'm not well versed in Mediterranean food however out server Frank did an exceptional job ensuring we knew exactly what we were ordering. Food was delicious and the service was superb.Special Features:
- A terrific find!LadyBugDined on 9/12/2014The four courses that each of us chose far exceeded "GREAT"!!! The blend of seasonings and ingredients, presentation and amounts served were spot-on. Our waiter, Ben, was very knowledgeable and polite. His attention was exactly as one would hope from a wait person. He did not hover. We will definitely choose Rezaz again for fine dining!Special Features:
- Disappointed AgainMountainjimVIPDined on 9/11/2014I am a resident of Asheville, and Rezaz has been one of my go to restaurants. I have always enjoyed taking out of town guests to enjoy the food. This past week, I brought friends for dinner, and two out of the three entres, which were specials for the evening, had to be returned to the kitchen. Overdone pork roast and flavorless barbecue pulled pork. This is not the first time, over the past several visits, that the food has been disappointing. Sorry to say, Rezaz is no longer one of my go to restaurants.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014Wonderful food. The service staff was polite, friendly and very knowledgeable. We will be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great eveninglisaDined on 9/5/2014We had a wonderful meal and the service was impeccable. Frank our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We will be back againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great foodbugsDined on 9/5/2014Always enjoy dinning at Rezaz. Never disappointed.Special Features:
- Highly recommendDawgzLifeDined on 9/5/2014Excellent fine dining experience, but they have great lunch menu as well. The entire experience was great from beginning to end. Dinner prices are consistent with the quality of the food & environment, but it is worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Dinnerdine2fairDined on 9/5/2014We had eaten at Reza's in the past and thoroughly enjoyed both the food, service and ambiance but this last visit was not what we had been accustomed to from previous visits. The menu in the past was an eclectic grouping of Mediterranean fare and was enjoyable. The new menu has decidedly taken on a much more middle eastern cuisine which we found hard to make a decision from. We wound up with two of the chef's daily specials which were very good. Another aspect was the service, his knowledge of the menu and daily specials was sketchy and attention to detail was minimal. On the other hand, the busboy was very attentive and professional. At this time we would not go back as middle eastern cuisine is not to our liking.
- 4 year anniversary at RezazOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/4/2014Dinner at 6 so restaurant did not have many patrons at beginning which gave it a quiet, secluded feel. The empanada appetizer was delightful. I had the sea scallops, chickpeas, and mango quite a pleasant surprise when fused together. The wife had the mahi special and could not stop raving about it. I preferred the cannoli and my wife the crème brulé for desert. The waitor was extremely knowledgable. Overall great experience and would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect spotPamcDined on 9/4/2014Rezaz is my favorite Ashevllle restaurant. I have been many times and find the food and wine excellent. The service is excellent. Good prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dependable excellenceculinatorVIPDined on 9/3/2014Flavorful cool cucumber soup, exceptional lamb shank along with creative desserts and excellent service combined to create a great dining experience.Special Features:
- Great experienceBillDined on 9/3/2014My wife and I went to celebrate her birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our food and experience.Special Features:
- Once was betterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/3/2014Rezaz has been our neighborhood "go to" restaurant for many years, but we have noticed a considerable downturn in the quality of the food and service. This lunch had excellent service but not so good food. My pizza was over cooked, making the thin crust a crumbly cracker, and the cheese a thin layer of flavored plastic. My friend ordered her cheeseburger medium and got it the consistency of a hockey puck. Both meals should have been sent back, but they were on the edge of eatable and we chatted and just ate. Service, both wait staff and kitchen time were, for a change, great. Now, if they can only get the kitchen back to excellent. We do not have many more chances to give Rezaz before we look for another favorite nearby restaurant.
- Consistently wonderful!1JulieGirlDined on 9/2/2014We have dined at Rezaz almost since it opened and this time we brought along friends who now live in downtown Asheville. While we could have dined anywhere in downtown...we chose to hop in the car...and drive a few short minutes south to Rezaz in Biltmore Village. Our friends were delighted with the ever changing menu: its wide selection of delicious and unusual combinations, appetizers, small and large plates and memorable desserts. If you go soon...be sure to order the cucumber soup a seasonal delight. Rezaz...is a place to dine for special reasons...or for no reason at all. Enjoy!Special Features:
- Delicious food experienceLuv2wineDined on 8/31/2014Our service was really excellent, and we appreciated the wine suggestion, which also was excellent for the price. The vegetarian in our group ordered several menu items, and these were his comments: oooh, aaah. The rest of us ordered fish dishes. My halibut was slightly overcooked, but the zucchini cake and spicy roasted peppers made interesting accompaniaments. Trout was the favorite, and I will try that next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional dining!WNCManDined on 8/29/2014I could not recommend Rezaz any higher for a remarkable dining experience. Amazingly creative food, outstanding wait staff, quietly elegant ambience, excellent wine list, I can go on. We love to bring out of town friends from serious big city foodie towns and watch their shock at how amazing Rezaz's is at a fraction of big city prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible FoodLittleVIPDined on 8/27/2014Went back for lunch after having dinner earlier in the week. Service was really good , and the food is so very good. The humus tray is outstanding - I could have eaten only that with the warm pita. We have not been disappointed in all of our choices for dinner and for lunch. A must try while in Asheville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulLittleVIPDined on 8/23/2014We got into Asheville but were able to get a reservation. Service was great. Food was excellent. I had the tuna that was prepared so well. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy 45thtanddDined on 8/23/2014Wife and I went to celebrate 45th wedding anniversary with nice dinner - and it was wonderful. Our dinners were great - flavorful and filling but we were not stuffed. Service was respectful of our desire for leisurely dinner, even though the restaurant was clearly packed with diners.Special Features:
- Great foodHighdiverDined on 8/23/2014Had the shrimp and calamari. Was tasty and calamari was tender. The manchego cheese appitizer was not your average fried cheese. The cucumber soup was very good as was the halibutSpecial Features:
- Always GoodJuniDined on 8/22/2014We visit Rezaz fairly often, have done for years, never been disappointed. Try the calimari and shrimp appetizer -- even if you're not a big calimari fan. It might make you one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable anniversary celebrationtedandmarieDined on 8/19/2014We started the celebration of our 47th wedding anniversary with lunch at Rezas. This was our first time at Rezas, but it will not be our last! The food was excellent (the best we can remember anywhere!) as was the service of our waiter. We were seated in a quiet area of the restaurant when they knew of our special day, and, to our surprise, were treated to a complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. What a wonderful way to start a memorable celebration. Thank you, Rezas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, Consistently good.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/18/2014This is a very good restaurant and provides a great dining experience. The food is outstanding and it's beautifully presented. Try the mussels in a curry, white wine, garlic broth. Excellent. I would have given the service five stars, but the place was busy and I think they were short staffed a little. Our server forgot several things, but she was so personable that we really didn't mind. I will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First choice when in AshevilledooczDined on 8/18/2014Great menu and great food. Outstanding service, Reasonably priced.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014The food is inventive; enexpected; there were rose petals in the cucumber soup, as well as pistachios. The steak we shared was fabulously flavorful. The service was attentive but not intrusive. A great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never a Bad Meal. Never!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/15/2014We've been to Rezaz many times now and we've never been disappointed in anything. (The mussels this last time were wonderful.) There is always something new to try or just go with your regular menu favorites. The service is always impeccable.
- Nice ExperienceCarski22VIPDined on 8/12/2014Food was excellent would highly recommend when in AshevilleSpecial Features:
- Memorable celebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2014We celebrated my daughter's 25th birthday at Rezaz and could not have been more pleased with the food and service. What a lovely & memorable evening....... highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnereathealthyDined on 8/10/2014We made a reservation at Rezaz on a recommendation from friends who live at Lake Toxaway. The experience was excellent. Our server was gracious and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu was interesting making it difficult to make selections. My husband and I each selected 2 courses and I was not able to finish my main course as the servings were ample. We do not live in the area so making this restaurant a regular choice is not possible but we will plan to visit whenever we are in the Asheville area.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Love this restaurant. My wife and I have frequented Rezaz,s since we moved here four years ago.Special Features:
- Exceeded our high expectations.EllaDined on 8/9/2014Celebrated a birthday at Rezaz after being recommended by friends. We have a few favorite restaurants in Asheville and never made it to Rezaz. Now after having experienced the wonderful food, atmosphere and service, we will be back often.Special Features:
- Excellent FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/8/2014I loved the Lamb Shank, which I order every time i go. The Romaine salad is excellent as a first course. Salad has fine parm cheese grated on top and grilled onions and homemade dressing. My friends loved their dishes; flat iron steak and goat cheese ravioli. Red wine recommendations were perfect. We all ordered fabulous desserts, I had the lavender and lemon creme bulea dessert. I love the location away from the overly crowded scene of college age people in downtown Asheville. We could park right outside the door of the restaurant, and walk in quickly.Special Features:
- A real gemWilliamVIPDined on 8/4/2014We were in Asheville and knew there are good restaurants there. Not sure which ones to choose we relied on reviews and chose Rezaz and one other (Market St.). We loved this place. The decor is very inviting and warm. Our waiter was outstanding, and the food choices were excellent for our taste. We began with a glass of Chardonnay accompanied by the reza mezze (3 spreads), then a bottle of excellent reasonable Malbec with the beef kebab and the duck confit. Finally the dessert was great--"brulee'd" peaches with coconut sponge cake filled with lemon curd. Mmmm. Considering what we got and the overall experience and the outstanding service, we felt the bill was quite reasonable. I would love to return tomorrow night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special DinnerJaneDined on 8/2/2014We have been to Rezaz many times. It was our Anniversary, and we brought our adult children and spouses. They gave us a room in the back....great space. Thought the food was good....but not as good as it's been in the past. For their prices, I'd like outstanding! But will certainly, give it another try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful seafood!LuberonFanDined on 8/2/2014Three of us had a wonderful dinner at Rezaz. I strongly second the waiter's recommendation of the battered and fried Manchego with honey and rosemary. The three of us split an order as a starter, and all of us found it delicious. We had shrimp and calamari, a cold octopus salad, a mussels special, Paella Madrilena, scallops, and duck confit. All of our dishes were exceptional. The one disappointment was that we were still eating our first courses when the main courses were brought out. There were many apologies from the wait staff, but that mistake took the glow off the wonderful evening.Special Features:
- Great food40thDined on 8/1/2014If you love Mediterranean food this is the place to go in Asheville. Big portions and very delicious.Special Features:
- Great pre-concert dinnerMamaCDined on 7/31/2014We recently had dinner with friends at Rezaz's and everyone loved their meal. The great part was that we had a time limit due to attending a concert at Biltmore and our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating. We will return to have a more leisurely dinner soon and save time to sample the many delicious looking appetizers and deserts!Special Features:
- Surprising!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/30/2014We hadn't been to Rezaz for quite sometime and decided to try it with friends and it was an excellent experience . I wish I could remember our server's name because she was outstanding. She made very good recommendation for both food and wine. Two of us had the halibut and it was divine. One had trout which was also excellent. Our friend had the kabobs, and I will definitely try that next time. We had wonderful appetizers with pita bread and 3 types of spread, my favorite was the hummus. We were too full for dessert, but our friend had the pot de creme, which we will try next time! We had cappachino which was very good. We won't wait long to return, and highly recommend Rezaz for an outstanding dining experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top Notch Service on All LevelsjcoxrocksDined on 7/26/2014I took my girlfriend here for her 30th birthday and everyone from the front desk, to the bus boy, to the waiter (Samir) went well out of their way to make it special for us both. Her favorite flowers were at the table for us (by request). Samir did a great job explaining the menu and specials, made a it point to wish her a Happy Birthday when we arrived and when we left. They all did an outstanding job of customer service. Absolute top notch.Special Features:

I tried my best to death to raise my grade but it didn't work. Mom openly insulted me in front of my families. My feelings were hurt. It is utterly wrong to emphasize a specific way of education only in the society. Education which does not approve diversity is ought to be corrected. I no longer want to live in this world. I don't want to be forced to do what I do not want to do. I want to leave this society that evaluates people by their grades. I want to be born again in the U.S. I'm going to meet Steve Jobs soon. [this was written weeks after Jobs's departure] Mom and dad, let at least my brother do what he wants to do. Please do me this last favor: bury me with my iPod and my teddy bear.
— An excerpt from a will of 14 year old South Korean student who committed suicide in last October. (source: The Kyunghyang Sinmun, Korean)
When was your last time crying in public? In our society/culture, especially for a male, crying in public often causes embarrassment to audience, and is considered as unmanly for performer. As a grown man we have to struggle with our own emotions to not be ashamed as I was when I was a sophomore.
It was during a literature class. The lecturer was a once promising poet of 80s in Korea, soon turned himself around to a private education market because of the hardship of his life, who used to talk about the dark side of the most famed writers to us. I do remember crystal clearly when he told us that the novelist Hwang Soon-won, the author of Shower, considered as one of the purest adolescent love story in the Korean literature history, once knocked over a gambling table on a picnic of writers for not being given a share of somebody's winnings.
The lecturer usually gave us an assignment to write about what he assigns and at the next class he picked out a writing, which he thought it is remarkable, then asked the writer to read it aloud in front of the students. And the hero of the day was me.
I wrote about a departure from my high school dropout friends, whom I had used to practice playing guitar and get along with, after I had found out that I am not strong to go on as a high school dropout and to struggle against my parents' will to get me into a college.
It was an evening in the cold winter. I was walking with my buddy, whose highest level of education stays still with his dropping out from a high school (and you've got to understand that this is a huge disadvantage in Korea, where the 80-odd percent of the students enter college), thinking of moving out from my house to go on with friends and wondering whether I can make it in this cold winter myself.
I used a humble metaphor of a crosswalk — and there was actually a crosswalk by which we used to split, since we were living in very different places. As usual we said a simple good-bye to each other — had I noticed that it was the last time it would not be that brief — and that was when we took apart.
Soon after I had have reached that paragraph, I couldn't help myself gathering moisture in the corners of my eyes. Like laughter, tears were even further forceful as I tried harder to refrain. I literally cried, and had to be replaced by another student to finish reading my writing.
I don't blame anyone for who I am now and what I've been through. I really do understand and have sympathy with my parents' wish — just wondering whether my tears were inevitable, and does life have to be this complicated?

The greatest reduction in mass poverty in human history has occurred during the current era of globalization. The world's poor are now catching up with the rich at a rapid pace in terms of human well-being. Deepak Lal will discuss how, despite those achievements, confusion about poor countries abounds: the World Bank exaggerates the extent of poverty; the benefits of new development fads including microfinance or randomized testing of projects, are vastly oversold; and discredited theories, such as the need for massive foreign aid to save Africa, have been resurrected. Marcus Noland will draw from his experience working in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East to comment on the book and its view that increased liberalization in the developing world is decreasing the influence of the West's advocates of dirigisme.
Featuring the author Deepak Lal, Professor Emeritus of International Development Studies, University of California at Los Angeles, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute; with comments by Marcus Noland, Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics; moderated by Ian Vasquez, Director, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute.

That 10-25 man quarell always fascinated me. Seems that people fail to understand that 10man and 25man are just different, and most of all they require different strategies thats why a 25man guild may wipe on 10man hcs if they havent revised the strategy, that doesnt make it harder or easier just different. And finally the only thing that 25s have "more" than 10s is 0.5 more BR, i will exclude the legenary quarrel that is rediculous.
But to get back in track to the subject of this topic that is RL/GL 25man guilds I feel the need to say that it is sad, 25man raiding is dying due to 10man offering the same things with much less effort in organisation and maybe for some much more fun, than constant wiping cause 2-4 ppl in your team are dragged from the others.
I am between the ideas of turning my guild to 10 or quitting the game for the past year, however when you have a guild in your hands that started as 40 man it is hard to take such a decision, also when you have 18-20 sign ups every raid it makes the decision even harder, cause u need to get rid of 10 ppl u play with for 6-7 years together and who is the GM that can take the burden of such a decision. On the other hand it has become impossible to keep up 25man raiding due to those 4-5 ppl missing every raid and due to a server where aliance side is dead. Also due to the new era of players, the new generation that was raised in the game believing naxxramas (the 25version) was what raiding is about. Join-One shot-Loot-Brag.
For me Naxxramas was the beginning of the end in the game, creating a new circle of spoiled raiders that never sweated for anything. leading to overpowered looting in 5mans to series of boe epics for money, to epic gear with 5man tokens, to people that were showing off their ilevel without having to actually kill anything in any raid. Purple lost its uniqueness, and in sequence gave people a new attittude about raiding not being at all that important or not deserve to wipe for since u can get similar gear elsewhere, making it harder to recruit more serious raiders, and even when u managed to making it terrible for the RLer to manage to get rid of the pug attittude of those people, so they can function within a team.
Going back in time i miss the vanilla and TBC content, the fact that people were not sitting all day in a capital city mumbling in trade but you had billions things to do and areas to visit, you knew every corner of the map and even when u had Ragnaros or DW on farm u were still bothering with the blue gear of UBRS or DM, the fact that people were farming their mats for raiding resistance pots, resistance gear and we knew not what a bot means. Most of all the fact that we faced a new boss and we had not seen 2635 videos the first day of its release on how to kill it, we should find out ourselves cause none had kill it on PTR and wasnt easy enough to wake up on a patch day and 10 guild to have already scored on it. Raiders were more patient back then they were not constantly running to reach something that i ve still havent understood what it is. Nowadays none stands back on a first kill to get a SS unless it is the last boss on hc back then even Garr was an achievent mainly because u couldnt pug it you had to be a part of a community strong enough to manage a kill. Back then guilds were needed nowadays 10mans 25mans they r just on a side role of the game.
On the other hand i think of 40man raids back then and i get a shiver, the game has changed and to a great extent has changed to the better. But it will never be the same because the people playing it now are used to different things and will be like that cause easier things bring more people in, so we either accept it and keep going or we quit. Guilds will never be the same cause raiders will never be the same again, those playing for too long, trying to keep their guild alive just for the heck of it cause they r with them for way long are the ones whinning including myself but prolly the solution is to accept that we have finished our circle in wow and accept that 10mans is the new way to go for those that wanna keep going.

Armor Roofing has used IB Roof Systems TM for over 95% of our commercial and residential flat or low pitched roofing projects. We previously tried our hand at some of the other popular and still widely used flat roof applications, such as hot mop, tar and gravel and spray on foam. None of these applications left us satisfied with our product and none of them provided our customers with a roof that would last more than 5-10 years.
IB is an innovative product that is environmentally friendly and an energy star partner. IB Roof Systems is so confident with their roofing system that every residential roof comes with a 100% lifetime material warranty at no charge to you. It doesn't matter if you live in your home for 5 days or 50 years, your roof still has 100% coverage.
Our trade show booth.
Lifetime Warranty
We are so confident with our systems that every residential roof comes with a 100% lifetime material warranty, at no charge to you. Your roof is covered, for as long as you own your home.
All accessories, flashings, IB vents, roofing membrane, and even the fasteners that attach the roof, are covered under the same lifetime warranty for your home.
Fire Resistant
The IB Roof Systems membrane has a Class "A" rating for flame resistance. Unlike traditional roofing materials, the IB membrane will resist flames rather than fuel them.
Quality Assurance
IB Roof Systems authorizes each contractor that installs our roof systems and limits the availability of their products to them. We want you to feel assured that you are getting the best roofing material available for your home and family.
Ponding Water
IB Roofs are uniquely formulated to withstand ponding water. Moisture will not pass through the IB membrane. Ponding water will not affect the performance or warranty of IB Roof Systems single-ply membranes.
Energy Savings
A white IB membrane can reduce your energy consumption and your rising electric bills. By reflecting up to 90% of the heat that normally enters a home through the roof, an IB roof will lower your home's heat gain, and it might very well pay for itself.
A Green Choice
IB understands the need to utilize natural resources efficiently. This is why IB membranes are designed to be 100% recyclable. In addition, 90% of systems can be installed over existing rooftops eliminating the need for messy tear-offs. Reducing landfill usage and preserving our natural resources. IB works with the environment, not against it.
"Every year like clockwork, my wife and I hired a local company to come fix our patio roof. We would patch it and hope for the best. It wasn't until we had your guys out, and had [IB Roof Systems] installed on it, [un]til we had it fixed permanently. Thanks for the great job."

Fabric Panel Wall Art
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to create some small or large scale art for the nursery or any other spot in your home, nothing could be easier than stretching a panel of fabric to hang on the wall. Here's exactly how you do it...
If you can wrap a present, you can do this project. All you need are four lengths of wood frame. (These are intended for stretching canvas and the corners fit together) Iron the fabric of your choice, and make sure it's a little bigger than the frame. Then wrap each side around and use a staple gun to secure. That simple really.
This tip comes from Jessica over at How About Orange. Her entire apartment (from which the photo above was taken) has been showcased before over at AT Chicago so you may want to check that out.

Or you could buy a length of Marimekko fabric that's already set up as a wall hanging--you can buy the hardware for it too.

After weeks of rumors, negotiations, statements, news and covers, at last we get rid of a soap opera of the summer and we can say that Alexis Sanchez is a new player of FC Barcelona. This was made official this afternoon through its website the Blaugrana in a deal estimated at Udinese with a not insignificant 37.5 million euros (26 11'5 fixed and variable).
Very high price, but as we said after the signing of Fabio Coentrao by Real Madrid , when the best clubs in the world bite the more modest door to take her star is not difficult to make them scratch their pockets full . This time, the ship has not been forced to yield to the claims of the Italian team, being a request of Pep Guardiola.
Because as we mentioned in our question of the week , for the incorporation of technical culé Alexis was a priority, ahead of Cesc Fabregas. Although the club has some of the best players, it is obvious that his wardrobe, including the attack is not very abundant. However, the arrival of Chilean fix this problem considerably, providing a useful number of variants.
Alexis is a wildcard for Barca and Guardiola may use any of the three positions of the attack, although his natural place is the right wing, now owned by Peter. The merits of each will serve to see if Alexis wins the starting job at the expense of the canary, or even David Villa, Messi is the only untouchable, but at first hand the disadvantage of the rookie. Although, of course, will the opportunities. Not only because of their level, but the fact of giving rest to the other three.
Alexis is a player just 22 years, which will provide Barca explosiveness and imbalance in the attack. A born dribbler, but that does not stop at that. Speed work and a great contribution both scoring, especially as an assistant. Now, the machinery will focus on incorporating blaugrana Cesc, in addition to giving free rein to Bojan for Rome, but I do not think Wenger put anything affordable it after seeing what has been spent on the signing of Chile.

I have been blessed to live with a brother who actually enjoys going to the grocery store and cooking dinners. My youngest brother and I are actually worried some girl will find out how much of an amazing foodie he is, get married, and leave us to fend for ourselves. So out of selfishness, we don't set him up on dates with any of our friends. I know, we're horrible siblings but you have no idea how amazingly he can bake a cake, ya'll.
Since he does most of the grocery shopping we're on his diet. Which I think he might be a wee bit ambivalent since we have gone through being Vegan temporarily every other week. Some weeks he won't buy bread at all, anything with a lot of carbs won't exist in our kitchen. Then we'll go on all soup diet, or all salads. Needless to say, For the past month I have been eating the weirdest things. Tasty, but weird. It's just funny how I have never had my own eating preference, I've always been on other peoples. I don't even think I could cook a meal every day for a week that was different or didn't involve cereal and a burrito.
I just find it interesting how people know what they like to eat, don't like to eat, and can compile actual dinners for themselves all the time. Like, I could never be vegan, but I admire people for actually having a committed menu. Because when I go to the grocery store I have no idea what i'm doing there and I retreat to the cereal aisle.
He showed up at my apartment a little after 9 and as soon as I opened the door I started giggling and he was smiling big. Neither one us knew how each other dressed. I wear jeans and a beat up t-shirt almost every day to work, and he comes in during his lunch breaks wearing a suit and tie. He looked absolutely great standing in front of me. We exchanged cheek kisses and he went on to tell me how beautiful I looked. I grabbed my coat, said goodbye to Rufio and we headed out to explore the city.
The end. Just kidding.
You guys suggested some really great places to eat, a lot of the places had an insanely amount of people so trying to have a conversation in a crowded restaurant or waiting for one wasn't the ideal situation for us. We walked a lot of blocks looking for anything that sounded good. We walked, and walked, and walked, and walked. Finally I said, "want to grab a pizza, some wine, possibly a dessert and just hang out at my place? We can watch a billion things on Netflix". He raised his hand up in the air, and I'm go, "high five for good ideas?" and he goes, "high five for GREAT ideas." So there we were, two very nicely dressed young adults high fiving in downtown Philly for a pizza date.
We got back to my flat an hour later with a giant pizza with everything on it. I kicked off my heels, rolled up my dress a little bit and crossed my legs on the couch. He started laughing, "is that your pizza stance?" I squished my face and stuck out my tongue. He followed my queue. Everything after that seemed like time froze. I always said the sexiest thing about a person is if they can carry a conversation. He gave great conversation. We talked about everything and anything. Even when I tossed a movie on Netflix it turned into Mystery Science Theater 3000 and we had a blast. The whole night was perfect.
Eventually the night caught up with him. Between his overtime in the morning and driving over two hours here the boy was tired. Add in pizza, laughs, wine, and endless choices on Netflix he fell asleep while he was actually talking and still holding his wine glass around 3am. It was actually really adorable, and somewhat impressive. I threw the blanket over him, sat a cup of water on the table with a post it that read: "drink me" and went to my room. I fell asleep instantly.
I woke up early in a panic. I had a breakfast date with my niece and her friends that I completely spaced on. I had to pick her up in 15 minutes from her mom's. I grabbed anything that smelled like a human, tossed my hair in a bun while simultaneously wiping eyeliner off I wore the night before on my sleeve. I was putting my shoes on until I looked over at my couch. I forgot about the boy who was now looking at me bent over, with smeared make up, holding my keys and wallet in my mouth. He sat up, waving around the glass of water I left for him.
I threw my keys at him and said, "theres a new toothbrush in my bag in the bathroom, a Superman t-shirt you can wear on the back of my chair. We're going to take five 7 year olds to breakfast, they might eat us alive, I can't guarantee you safety. Only waffles. You can choose or accept this mission without me feeling offended, I had a great night either way". He got up, straightened out his clothes and started walking toward the door. I thought that was it. He had enough of hanging out with me and maybe I looked that incredibly horrible to him that as soon as I gave him an exit he was taking it. He stood in front of me, told me my shirt was inside out, kissed me and said, "Good Morning".
So there we were, 8 in the morning, had our first kiss and about to go on our second date to my nieces tea party. Safety wasn't guaranteed, alcohol wasn't going to be within reach, and he still wanted to stick around. That boy got to have all the waffles this morning.
All of them.
I come from a very small village. Very small. My father did part time work at a garage, fixing very old trucks, and basically every household product that fizzled out around our village. We had nothing but a single dirt road, and as a kid I always looked like pigpen from The Peanuts comic. You know that surrounding dust cloud he has lingering around him? That was basically my entire childhood. A constant dust cloud from having no paved roads. My sobo would would take me into Nagasaki for school every day and it would feel like I was living a double life.
I'd go to school, then the arcade for an hour afterward until my sobo was done with her affaires. Completely soaking in the city surroundings, lights, constant changing of people, and every single noise. We then would head to the bus station and take the two hour ride back home. The bus couldn't take us all the way into our village, for one, our roads was riddled with pot holes. Secondly, during the evening you cannot see anything, especially your own feet in front of you. Even with a light. We'd get dropped off 15 minutes outside of home and we'd walk it every day. I hated it. I hated leaving the city and coming back to a dirt village where the only lights are lanterns and the only noise you'd hear is crickets and my childhood angst. I'd always fuss and give my soba an attitude walking home, and every time I became increasingly bratty I ended up in a pothole. She'd giggle to herself and say affectionally, "the spirits can hear you, yoyo."
As any teenager who graduates high school the only thing you want to do is leave your home. "Get me the hell out of here!" I applied to every university outside of Japan. I spent 18 years with dirt constantly in my shoes, listening to one radio station, and playing nintendo when we didn't need to use any other electrical thing in the house (NES basically sucked our electricity so if i wanted to finish Zelda, we'd live in complete darkness. I was okay with this aspect, however, my father insisted we needed to make ourselves food at some point in the day).
When the day came for me to leave for University, my dad said to me, "are you sure?" I smiled big, knocked the dirt out of my shoes and said, "lets go!" We loaded up the truck, headed to the airport, and I have been gone ever since. I wanted to hear noises, see lights, culture, population, I wanted to see moving life. Its been 7 years since I've been home. Granted, i've visited since then, but its been a long time since I've really been home. Not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. I haven't just Americanized myself, but I've internationalized myself, and recently, I realized.. thats not who I am.
I'm not the girl who wants all of this connection. I don't need to see all these lights, live in a city, and surround myself by a rapid stream of life. I'm the girl who grew up in a village that only had one dirt road, knew everyone in her community, and who could only play Zelda five minutes a day. Sometimes ten if I locked my dad out of the house. I'm more selfish with what I want, and forgot that I come from humble means.
I've become increasingly bratty once again, and now i'm back in my once familiar childhood pothole. And I can hear my grandmother giggling affectionally in my head saying, "the spirits can hear you, yoyo." I know, Soba. I can hear them too, and i'm going to change. I need to change.
Its time for me to go back home.
footnote: What I mean is, remember where I came from. Who I started out being. I've lost touch with that aspect of myself and for me to continue on, I need to get that lost part back to feel complete. This isn't a, "i'm going back home to Japan bbl guise!" This is a, "metaphorically i need to go back home to reunite with my roots in order to take on the future happily and as a whole". Because right now, i'm in pieces. And one cannot enjoy themselves in pieces.

Inspired by the richness of his cultural lineage, growing up in Beirut as the son of the city's most celebrated jeweler, Vram Minassian has emerged as a jewelry designer best known for his artfully crafted, provocative collections. Minassian's work fuses a dual perspective, honoring the design traditions and pedigree of his family name, while creating pieces that evoke style and timelessness.
Representing the complete vision of his aesthetic signature, Minassian established his eponymous jewelry collection, VRAM, in Beverly Hills, California in 1993, following education in Paris.
A lifelong fascination for engagement rings in particular, "the way they ornament the hand, their clear statement of sentiment; as one with the adorned," as Minassian says, are the flagship pieces of his jewelry collection and the centerpiece of his enduring relationship with the "nuances of rare gems and their irresistible allure." As Minassian believes, "a beautifully bejeweled hand is like a runway walk in fashion – nothing quite optimizes the beauty of a jewel like the hands. Every movement or gesture presents another opportunity for the ring to catch light and dazzle with its beauty, casting its aura of love, commitment and meaning."
Today, the VRAM collection re-imagines the possibilities of mixing traditional techniques with modern sensibility. Along with Minassian's designs, VRAM gemologists and prized artisans reflect a bespoke approach to construction, leaving a lasting impression on enthusiasts who seek modern interpretations of classic designs, rooted in the milieu of integrity, beauty and time-honored practices.
