- Always great!!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/28/2014We have been there many times and have always had a wonderful experience. We will be going back again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but LOUD!TonyPDined on 9/27/2014My wife and I went on a Saturday night at 7PM. The food was very good (steaks). My compliments to the chef. The restaurant was well maintained and very clean. However, the place was LOUD. Our waitress (looked barely old enough to drive) had to shout the specials because the ambient noise was overwhelming. It was worse than a bar full of rowdy twenty somethings. The wait staff was friendly, but young and inexperienced. The place isn't cheap. Should you have to ask 2-3 times for the same thing and be told "oh, yeah". There obviously isn't a dress code. Thinking it was upscale, we dressed accordingly. Others did as well. Then you have the t-shirt and flip-flop types. To each their own, just don't expect a fine dining experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We went with friends, first time for them. I had chicken piccata, excellent, my husband had fried chicken, also excellent. Our friends both ordered the double bone in steak, he was not happy, she liked it. Complaint; out server told us bread would be out shortly after taking drink order, bread came out with our dinners. We love Oakbrook Ditla's, had grandson communion party and my 70 surprise birthday party there. Breakfast is the best. Thank you for a great place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not so good and expensive.Ren200Dined on 9/27/2014This place shows some wear & tear. It needs major refreshing. Don't look closely at the carpeting until after you eat! The chairs and even the menus are well into their final days. The room is very loud and it was very difficult to have a conversation with our party of four. The service was very good; attentive but not overly so. The food was so-so. The perch would be best described as fried thick breading stuffed with overcooked dried out perch. The crab cakes entrée was bland and served with equally bland rice. The halibut was good but it was breaded which masks the fish's flavor. The seafood pasta diavolo was very forgettable with two shrimp and an almost tasteless pasta diavolo sauce. The crab bisque soup was good but too salty.
- You call this great?InsearchofsteakDined on 9/26/2014Went to Ditka's based on recommendations for a great steak. I had NY Strip which was good. Wife ordered Ribeye that charred beyond appetizing, flavor was nothing notable, ending up taking most of it home to dog. The bruschetta appetizer was delicious, as were the onion soup and Ditka salad. We've now been there. Won't recommend it and won't go back.
- The CoachJmillVIPDined on 9/25/2014Had a great dinner with my customer. Coach Ditka was having dinner at the table next to us. He was gracious enough to stop and sign footballs for my customers. Thanks CoachI would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceLouisetoDined on 9/24/2014Everything was perfect. The food, service, ambience and the employees. The rib-eye steak literally melts in your mouth. It was sooo tender. Best steak i've had in ILLINOIS. The salmon was also great. I will definetely go back :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmbienceMoVoDined on 9/21/2014For about the first 1/2 hour, there was a family with 3 or 4 young children who were running around their table and being very loud. We asked our server to request that they have their children be quiet and stop running. Server indicated they were wrapping up their meal and would be leaving shortly, but it was somewhat annoying for a bit. After that, the setting was quiet and serene and let us enjoy our dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchLiliBooDined on 9/21/2014Brunch before a bit of shopping at Oak Brook Mall. Perfect as I've come to expect. The place was jumping even though we got there about 10 am. Must have been all the sports going on that day.....I've no idea because although we always sit in the bar where there are several TVs broadcasting every sport show known to man, they never seem to disturb or intrude as they can in other restaurants/bars. Speaking of the bar, have one of their special cocktails or morning eye openings. Outstanding! Friendly, welcoming staff, great service, wonderful food. Thanks to Da Coach and his staff for another great Sunday morning brunch!Special Features:
- DitkaOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/20/2014Just as outstanding as the Coach himself. The service was a little on the down side but, our server seemed pretty busy being that it was a Saturday night. Everyone was very pleased with the food and the atmosphere. However, the hostess was very confusing about seating us. We had to rush to get our table before someone else took it, as she put it. Found that odd since I made a reservation. But all in all a very good dinning experience.Special Features:
- First Time Visitkoi34Dined on 9/20/2014My wife and I enjoyed our meal consisting of: Prime Rib perfectly done, Mashed red potatoes, Jalapeno Hash browns (a little under done for me), Tower of onion rings and Mike's salad. My wife had a Raspberry martini which she said was excellent and we saw several being consumed around the room. We ordered deserts to go.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Seated immediately as arrival for the reservation. Andrew, our server was at the table soon after to take our order. He kept coming by the see if everything was good. I asked for his opinion of a certain dish. His opinion/recommendation was spot on. Very good dinner. Entertained a couple visiting from Ireland. They were impressed with the dinner served, especially the "pork chops". Thank You.Special Features:
- Better than expected!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Great food, in fact best meal I have had in a while. The pot roast nachos we're awesome, and so was the prime rib. My boyfriend has the signature pork chops and really enjoyed them, the apples that came with were perfectly cooked and so tasty. The only thing we did not like was the lobster mac and cheese side. It was too fishy. The flute of 3 sides was a great value, but the sides you get with the meal are a good size to. The server we had we friendly and knowledgable, we did not feel rushed and her service was excellent. Great night, great good! I highly recommend ...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticWolfDined on 9/15/2014First the waiter his name was Shane and his special humor and excellent service was the best we have experienced this special dinner was for my Mother and Fathers 65th anniversary and they wanted to try Mike Ditka's tomahawk steak and they were just awesome. but the server Shane treated my parents with the best he or anyone could provide, Thanks to Mike Ditka's my parents and our party enjoyed this dinning at it best!Special Features:
- ManA4foodDined on 9/14/2014The food was good to very good and well priced. The prix fixe meals were an excellent value. The service was great. However, the interior ambience is mediocre at best. The outside area leading to the entrance of the restaurant is stark and uninviting.Special Features:
- ddtwentythreeDined on 9/14/2014Awesome place to have lunch! My husband and I shopped at Oak Brook mall for our anniversary then went to lunch! Great day followed by great lunch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Used Opentable to book the reservation, then enjoyed a couple drinks in the bar and were seated on time. Service at the bar was good but busy, service at the table was good and friendly. Steaks were great. My wife ordered the Salmon, which she said had too much Orange sauce on it and did not like. Overall we had fun and enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:

So long as even one mask exists in this realm, my ambitions shall endure….
*Link to full-size image*
Lord Cars et al., reporting. Good news abound for the abhorrent collective known as "mankind": both my cohorts' as well as my own leave of absence was—however sudden—a temporary one. We are making necessary preparations to return in the coming weeks.
'How is it that you did not inform us of this hiatus of sorts months earlier?' …My, did we actually cause you worry? Ha! That I myself, Lord Wham, or Lord ACDC would for a moment entertain thoughts of returning your pathetic entreaties, first of all, with even a single word of gratitude—! The human race is as dumb as if such is indeed the case…
Moreover, not a one among us would willfully abandon this "page". The genuine fact of the matter is this is quite possibly our only real means of keeping in good spirits at this time. We are awaiting the issuance of several items: most notably, this JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: All-Star Battle simulation game for use with the machine you humans call the "PlayStation 3".
[Besides, 'twas not our party who neglected to properly maintain active communications in the first place. All fault rests with our hopeless excuse for a mediator; a body of no consequence whatsoever, who typically negotiates pillar man-to-man discussion. Rest assured, we shall no longer tolerate this individual's poor work ethic.]
Wham: Lord Cars is nothing short of infuriated by this display of ignorance towards his person—a "most wretched attack on an eminent personage," if one may. In light of this gross show of disrespect, I kindly urge those humans capable of do so report on the matter of his inclusion in the upcoming game posthaste.
ACDC: *Shrugs.* Not much going on with me…
(I still don't know what that shiny silver clump is. Lord Cars gets moody whenever Lord Wham or myself bring the thing up in conversation notwithstanding, so whatever it is, it must be pretty horrid.)
Santana: …Me? ._. How…?
Wham: No, that is not you: that is a snow sculpture.
ACDC: Wait, why him? He's beneath us! *Fumes.*
Cars: It would appear the humans responsible for this wish to elicit our awesome rancor. Have these mortals no sense?
Wham: The preceding had been brought to our attention, just when Lord Cars expressed he was entertaining thoughts of procuring a time-telling device. {It will become available roughly one month after the vernal equinox.}
ACDC: In case any of you worthless humans were wondering, yes: since we last spoke, we've come into possession of miniature replicas of myself, Lord Wham, and the kid.
(Moreover, I've finally managed to secure Lord Cars's outdated image-capture device. Score~!)
We have finally completed the running backlog of inquiries. We shall answer them in proper in the near future.
Lord Cars speaking. Several solar months have elapsed since myself or the others have addressed your asinine masses. Doubtless, during that time not a few of you pondered the nature of mine and my cohorts' whereabouts. Although I can assure you of our return henceforth, being of supreme bearing and mettle to your base species, the other Pillar Men and I feel in no way obligated to couple this occasion with apologies or excuses. (Trifling, the notion a superior would ever kowtow before subordinate!)
Blessed be your good fortune that we have found the "animated adaptation" of late to be to our general fancy: indeed, we are loath to your technology and its needless complexities. Never would I nor the others have imagined that there existed those among you capable of such admirable vocal mimicry (which, as you humans put it, "is the sincerest form of flattery") and visual imitation. We have judged your miniature reproductions to be in equally good taste; and we expect that your translations of our persons to that which you call the PlayStation3 interactive entertainment console to be similarly true to character.
Lord Cars & co.

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy made a number of changes to its executive committee on Wednesday during the association's NABP Annual Meeting in Phoenix.
Jewel-Osco has named company veteran Doug Cygan VP marketing and merchandising.
New Albertson's has acquired five Dominick's locations and appointed Shane Sampson, currently president of the company's Boston-based Shaw's Division, as president of the Jewel-Osco division based in Chicago.
Kroger on Tuesday named Jay Cummins president of the Smith's Food and Drug Stores division and Joe Fey president of Kroger's Mid-Atlantic division.
Forty-three year veteran Steve Lubin, Walgreens divisional VP and general manager marketing for non-mainland operations, announced his retirement, according to Walgreens spokesman Michael Polzin on Tuesday.
After 50 years of service with the company, Kroger's mid-south division president John Hackett is retiring.
Safeway announced the retirement of Bruce Everette, EVP retail operations. Kelly Griffith, current president of merchandising, has been chosen to succeed Everette.
Long-time Fred Meyer executive Lynn Gust was named president of the 133-store Kroger division.
Publix on Thursday announced six new officer positions that will begin work in 2013 across human resources, information technology and retail operations.
The Retail Employees with Disabilities Initiative certainly is a noble cause, but more than that, this is a prime example of Walgreens' active pursuit of an experience with its audience through the mediums that that audience chooses — in this case, Twitter. It represents a new paradigm in marketing as drug retailers and others swap a consumer reach and brand identity proposition for one of engagement and presence.
Dispensing narcotics and other highly abused prescription drugs, pharmacies have always been potential targets for robbery and burglary. But a series of violent crimes over the past year and a half have thrown a spotlight on the dangers faced by pharmacy workers and customers, and have galvanized public opinion for tougher laws.
Supermarket giant Kroger announced company EVP Don Becker died Wednesday after suffering an aneurysm. He was 62 years old.
Aisle411, a mobile retail navigation service that helps shoppers locate products down to the shelf location, on Tuesday announced its service now is live in more than 1,000 stores. The service added three markets: Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego.

No Rimington for Swanson
Arkansas center Travis Swanson blocks during an Aug. 31, 2013 game against Louisiana-Lafayette at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. Swanson is expected to make his 50th consecutive start Friday at LSU.
FAYETTEVILLE Florida State center Bryan Stork won the Rimington Trophy on Thursday.
Stork beat out five other semifinalists for the award, including Arkansas' Travis Swanson. The Rimington Trophy is awarded each year to the most outstanding center in college football.
A Rimington win would have capped a memorable week for Swanson, who was named first team all-SEC by The Associated Press and first team all-American by USA Today. Swanson said earlier this week he will graduate from the UA this month.
Swanson was a four-year starter at Arkansas. He started his 50th straight game in the Razorbacks' season finale at LSU two weeks ago.

AUC, GESCI train future African ICT leaders
ETHIOPIA| Oct. 24, 2012, 9:05 a.m.
The second batch of a post graduate course on the African Leadership in ICT (ALICT) has been launched in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The 7-month intensive training covering ICTs, Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), is an African Union Commission (AUC) initiative, supported by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and implemented by the Global e-Schools and Communities Initiative (GESCI).
It is aimed at equipping existing and future African leaders with a commanding understanding of the key elements in the development of knowledge societies. The oversight and implementation coordination of the ALICT course at the level of the AUC is done by the Information Society Division within the Department of Infrastructure and Energy.
The successful candidates, who will undergo the course from this month to June 2013, were briefed during a two-day ALICT orientation workshop in Cazanchise, Addis Ababa.
Janne Oksanen, Second Secretary, Head of Cooperation, Embassy of Finland in Ethiopia, highlighted the commitment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland in supporting the ALICT programme and its high quality of oversight and coordination by the AU Commission and implementation by GESCI.
The participants were introduced to key concepts and tool kits on the Knowledge Society (KS) and leadership in the KS as well as the course e-learning platform which include: chats, forums, access to content, resource centre, virtual work space. The newly registered candidates were taken through the orientation program by two GESCI instructors, Senthil Kumar, Deputy Programme Manager of ALICT and Juho Mikkonen, Blended Learning Specialist. Both instructors presented the ALICT course organization, delivery, course structure, module sequence, timelines, assessment, certification among others.
Kumar explained that the ALICT course is online distance learning aimed to build the capacity of future African leaders to contribute effectively to the development of knowledge societies by imparting new leadership skills to them. "These new leadership skills will provide participants with the attitudes, ideas, management tools, and strategies to act as change agents, assisting their ministries and organisations to develop coherent and well aligned polices in Education, ICT and STI" he underlined.
Participants of the ALICT course are drawn from the middle and senior management officials in Ministries of Education (including Higher Education and TVET), ICT, Science and Technology, Planning and Finance; public organizations (including program implementing agencies) relevant to the identified Knowledge Society pillars; and other key identified organizations.
The laureates of this course will be awarded a joint AUC/GESCI certificate equivalent to a postgraduate University diploma.

Female First - Interview
Lisa Marie Presley has been away from the music scene for seven years but this week marks her return with a new album Storm & Grace.
I caught up with the singer/song-writer to chat about the new album, the new sound and what lies ahead.
- You are about to release your new album Storm & Grace so what can fans expect from this new record?
I think it is just more of a broken down, stripped down, organic record than I have done before. It is less produced and it is more of a rootsy and Americana album; it was written in England ha-ha.

Presley Announces U.S. Headline Tour Dates in Support of her New Album, Storm and Grace
NASHVILLE – Monday, October 15, 2012 – Lisa Marie Presley will world premiere her new video "I Love You Because," an emotional duet with her late father Elvis Presley, on CMT and CMT.com on Thursday, October 18th during the 8 and 10 a.m. ET/PT music hours. At the suggestion of renowned producer T-Bone Burnett, Lisa recorded the Elvis song in August for the 35th anniversary of her father's death. The video was only intended to be viewed by some 25,000 fans in attendance at the 35th Anniversary Concert at the FedEX Forum in Memphis, but following a warm reception by fans, Presley agreed to share the video with CMT.

The Independent: Storm & Grace Review
Having a celebrity parent, history suggests, can be a terrible burden to bear – not least since nowadays, the popstar offspring that eschews showbiz in favour of a "proper" job is a rarity. And as celebs go, they don't come much bigger than Elvis, not so much a star as a figure of mythic proportions, his earthly domain preserved in all its kitsch glory like an outsize reliquary of postwar American aspiration.

The only daughter of Elvis Presley, who decided to shun the LA lifestyle and make rural East Sussex her home, took to the stage at Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush on Thursday night, despite being under the weather.
Performing her own tracks and dueting with British singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt, Lisa Marie wowed the audience in her highly anticipated first UK gig.

Digital Cable
How do I change the letterbox color on Comcast digital cable?
I have a Hitachi tv, HD of course, and the DVR dual-tuner digital cable box for Comcast. For some reason, all the HD channels come in with a gray letterbox as opposed to black. Is there a way I can change this? The gray letterbox is distracting and I'd like to switch it to black so it could help blend easier.
The gray is there to protect your TV from burn-in. Your HD should be full 16:9 screen. Either your cable box or TV settings are wrong. You should only be seeing this from 4:3 TV or DVDs that are wider than 16:9. Even in those case3s, you probably have settings that fill the screen, although with some distortion or overscan.

Two new Apple patents at the US Patent & Trademark Office show that Apple is considering a new "v-shaped" user interface for media playback to replace (or perhaps exist in addition to CoverFlow.
The patent obviously affects iTunes. However, it could impact the entire Mac OS X interface at some point.
Patent number 20100318908 and 20100318928 is for an user interface for media playback. According to the patent, a graphical user interface made up of icons representing individual files and collectively forming the shape of a "v" is described along with methods of using and creating the graphical user interface. The v-shaped interface is useful to display detailed information about many of the items in a list and facilitates manipulation of list order and selection of the active file in the list.

'Toot, toot' a moot point for Lebanese cabbies
Bank of Beirut's personal loan aimed exclusively at taxi drivers sparks nothing but more honking.
March 9, 2010 5:20 by kippreport
Is there finally some good news for Lebanese taxi drivers?
Cabbies are known to share their worries with anyone who will listen. It sometimes feels like it would take a miracle to put a smile on their face.
Could that miracle have arrived? Earlier this week, Bank of Beirut announced that it is launching a new loan for taxi drivers, known as the "toot toot" loan.
The "especially targeted loans" give drivers the chance to buy a new or used taxi, according to Isabelle Naoum, the bank's head of communications.
"Bank of Beirut's loans and services always convey the bank's responsibility towards the society where it operates, and this is the case of the taxi loan, which grants new job opportunities and helps protect the environment by curbing pollution," she said.
Kipp hit the streets of Beirut to find out whether this 'socially responsible' initiative could result in smiles. Could a loan aimed exclusively at taxi drivers ever prompt a lull in the honking, and the complaints about ever rising gasoline prices?
Not so. Most of the taxi drivers we spoke to were doubtful: "Who is going to benefit from it?," asked one.
No smiles, then. Would only a cynic suggest that the Bank of Beirut's initiative is purely down to making money in any way possible?
Honk, honk.

Good Point… The BoB has been known for some attractive offers made so by smart advertising.
not really sure how much interest and the conditions BoB is asking of the cabbies, but the reconditioning of Lebanon specifically Beirut's Taxi and Service Taxi fleets has to be done with the support of all involved.
the only way it will help the taxi drivers and their union is if, the cars Taxi drivers buy are not subject to Import tax if they are new, this way emission, consumption and longevity of the vehicles will be maximized.
the central bank should help by securing very low interest loans for individual cab owners, and medium rates to fleet taxi companies.
Insurance Companies have to also play a role in offering helpful and affordable full risk insurance on cabs. as it stands now, to insure even the smallest car for cab duty is very expensive and unaffordable.
with a well planned insurance plan, the cabs will look nicer, and with a franchise system, the drivers will not treat their cars as bumper cars.
there also needs to be a regulatory authority that will keep cars up to a certain standard. not to mention a unified color…
as it stands, i think BoB is fishing for more profit from a needy sector. and the people that are signing up to such loan seldom do without really being properly informed..

I have been doing a healthy fruit-vegetable with the acception of white meats, etc. No junk foods, fried foods, diary, and sugars of course.
Well i've been doing it for about 2 months now, and all the current acne is gone after 1 month.. And my red marks started to diminish as well..
BUT, my stubborn ass figured i'd try eating something different last night, so i ordered 1 dominoz sandwich lol, i couldn't resist it, i thought my acne and red marks were under control so why not?
WELL, after waking up my acne looks much more irritated, my skin looks uneven, and i got a new zit on my forehead now..
SOOOO, i'm letting yall know the connection here between diet/acne.
But now , i got a question, will it remain looks this red/angry and irritated? or if i continue eating healthy, will it calm down soon?
Posted 22 March 2012 - 06:06 PM
I'm sure there is a diet that can eliminate acne, but in todays age/society It's just impossible, or very hard should I say.
All I can say is enjoy what you eat! And find other methods to control your acne!
Posted 31 March 2012 - 05:30 PM
In response to your signature more than the post, I just can't see how diet has such an effect on acne, I mean, eat something different, and acne starts, I went through the diet phase, lost LOTS of weight, became a twing, but no acne! Decided to eat a pizza from my local takeaway for me friends and me, on me, and what do you know, ACNE! Straight in the morning.
I'm sure there is a diet that can eliminate acne, but in todays age/society It's just impossible, or very hard should I say.
All I can say is enjoy what you eat! And find other methods to control your acne!
Kinda agree with this, I am glad for you for finding what works for you but in todays day and age its very hard to stay on a diet restricting those things unless you just don't go out. i went through this diet stuff aswell and I think I am just going to try BP again with the acne.org Regimen. Good luck to you though sir.
Btw, if you eat on your diet I see no reason why the marks would get back to normal within a week or two.

It appears Scott Peterson's death penalty appeal comes down to three things we've heard over and over again during his 2004 trial.
In a 470-page appeal filed Friday with the California Supreme Court, Scott Peterson's attorneys are taking aim at the largely circumstantial evidence that lead to his conviction in the death of his wife Laci and unborn son Conner.
Argument One: Dog scent evidence introduced by the prosecution should have been ruled inadmissible.
Stanislaus County prosecutors say a trained human scent detection dog picked up Laci's scent on the dock of the Berkeley Marina where Scott was fishing on Christmas Eve. The appeal documents say the dog was unreliable, failing tests 2/3 of the time.
Read the appeal documents by clicking here.
Argument Two: Fetal development evidence.
The appeal says experts brought in to determine when Conner, Peterson's then unborn son, died – they pinpointed the date of his death different than the timeline laid out by prosecutors.
Argument Three: The movement of Laci and Conner's bodies in the San Francisco Bay.
Mother and child washed up in Richmond. The appeal says a hydrologist failed to accurately establish how the bodies could drift from the Berkeley Marina where Peterson went fishing to Point Isabel and Brooks Island.
The appeal also takes issue with voir dire (more commonly known as jury selection) during Peterson's trial. Peterson's attorneys argue 13 potential jurors who said they were against the death penalty were excluded from the pool of jurors by prosecutors.

Kewanee senior guard Dayton Ince will get his shot at becoming statewide royalty after winning the Class 2A state competition of the Country Financial Three-Point Showdown. Ince will return to the Peoria Civic Center on Saturday at about 1:45 p.m. for the "King of the Hill'' finals between all four class winners.
Ince needed to prevail in a shootout to advance from Thursday evening's 2A preliminaries to Friday's final round. He hit nine 3s, and then eight more in the extra round to beat Monmouth-Roseville's Martel Hunter and Aurora Christian's Ryan McQuade. Ince left no doubt in the finals, with his 11 treys three more than his closest competitor.
Ince was the only area shooter in either 2A or 1A to advance to his class's Final Four. The other 2A competitors besides Ince and Hunter-- Orion's Jason Marshall (seven 3s) and Fulton's Matt Dail (six) -- were eliminated in the prelims.
In 1A, Erie's Jacob Johnston bagged 10 treys, but his five 3-balls in a subsequent three-way shootout weren't enough to reach the final round. Prophetstown's Ethan Howard and Wethersfield's Trevor Lay each hit nine 3s to fall just short of the shootout round, and ROWVA's Sam Rammage hit just four of 15 attempts.
No local competitors advanced to next weekend's 3A/4A state finals from Friday night's sectional round.

The Baltimore Sun
1:17 PM EDT, July 9, 2013
AAA Mid-Atlantic today released a list of safety tips to help parents and care givers remember to never leave a child unattended in a car. Their advice comes on the heels of the heartbreaking death on Friday of a 16-month-old girl in Baltimore County. She had been left in a hot truck for several hours and died of hyperthermia, according to officials.
"These deaths prove a painful point – children cannot be left unattended in cars," Ragina C. Averella, manager of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic, said in a statement. "It's important to remember that temperatures inside a car on a day with outside temperatures in the mid-to-high 90's can quickly soar to nearly 200 degrees, which is hot enough to cook many foods and to kill most living things. Never leave children or pets in a parked car. If you do see a child or pet locked in a car and cannot find the owner of the vehicle, call 911 immediately."

David Maisel - Library of Dust (2005-06)
Library of Dust depicts individual copper canisters, each containing the cremated remains of patients from a state-run psychiatric hospital. They have remained unclaimed by their families. The patients died at the hospital between 1883 and the 1970's.
The (approximately) 3,500 copper canisters are burnished or dull; corrosion blooms wildly from the leaden seams and across the surfaces of many of the cans. The vestiges of paper labels with the names of the dead, the etching of the copper, and the intensely hued colours of the blooming minerals combine to individuate the canisters. Sublimely beautiful, yet disquieting, the enigmatic photographs in Library of Dust are meditations on issues of matter and spirit.

Met7p is a folypolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) which works in concert with the dihydrofolate synthetase (DHFS) Fol3p to add glutamyl side chains to de novo synthesized folate coenzymes. In organisms that generate folate cofactors de novo (plants, bacteria, and fungi), the binding of glutamate to folate derivatives is achieved by two reactions catalyzed by DHFS and FPGS, respectively. Fol3p catalyzes the binding of the first glutamyl side chain to dihydropteroate to yield dihydrofolate, then Met7p catalyzes the extension of the glutamate chains of folylmonoglutamates in an ATP-dependent reaction (3).
In the cytosol, folate coenzymes are implicated in purine and thymidylate synthesis as well as in the biogenesis of the methyl group of methionine. In mitochondria, 10-formyltetrahydrofolate is necessary for the formylation of the initiator tRNA and thus for mitochondrial protein synthesis. met7 null mutants were originally identified as methionine auxotrophs (1), indicating that Met7p activity is required for methionine biosynthesis. In addition, Met7p is necessary for the maintenance of mitochondrial DNA, as mitochondrial protein synthesis is required for maintenance of an intact mitochondrial genome in S. cerevisiae, and inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis by the use of antifolates induces cytoplasmic respiration-deficient strains (3). Studies by Cherest et al. argue for the existence of only a cytosolic form of Met7p, favoring the hypothesis that mitochondrial integrity depends on the presence of a metabolite whose synthesis takes place in the cytosol and is strictly dependent on polyglutamylation of folate coenzymes (3).
In E. coli, which is able to synthesize folates, DHFS and FPGS activities exist in a bifunctional protein encoded by the FolC gene (3). A bifunctional protein also exists in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (6). Mammalian cells, which do not synthesize folates de novo, produce only FPGS and thus depend exclusively on the intake of exogenously supplied folic acid (7, 8). Met7p, which shows significant similarities with Fol3p and Rma1p, is more closely related to the human FPGS than to the E. coli FPGS/DHFS enzyme. Fol3p and Rma1p, however, are more similar to the E. coli enzyme (3).
MET7 has also been implicated, by two genome-wide surveys, in the control of telomere length (9, 10).

There is nothing that the player can do to influence the selection of the numbers. There is only one variable that can be varied and that is the number of cards/tickets that the player plays. In a fair game, each card/ticket has the same change of winning as every other card/ticket because the number selection process in an independent random event.
The selection of each bingo number has no relation to the section of any other bingo number. Since every number has the same change of being selected, every card/ticket has the same chance of having the winning numbers. The only way in which the player can increase her chances of winning is to play more cards.
Each additional card/ticket played gives the player an addition opportunity to have the winning card/ticket. In bingo game situation where player can play whatever number of cards/tickets that they want, each player does not have the same chance of winning. The ones who play the larger number of cards/tickets have a better chance of winning than those players who play only a few cards.
Players may want to look for less crowded online bingo rooms to play in since this also gives the player a better chance of winning since there are fewer cards in play.
Other Bingo Strategies:
1. Never play more cards than you can watch.
2. Look for available coupons. Halls will often have coupons to direct players to slower days…
3. There are two philosophies for picking numbers for your do-it-yourself: (1) Choose numbers that come out more often. (2) Choose numbers that have come up less frequently as these numbers may be due. If you believe that certain sets of bingo balls have numbers that come up more than other numbers, the first philosophy is one that you ought to choose.
4. The more you play, the more you will win. So don't use all your money on one game. Play as long as you can and as often as your can.
5. Analyze the bingo session

I've been really, really, really good this year
go ahead and call em sluts, tiki. ill take em!
Oh, I C. Santa has moved on from Keebler elves to those from LOTR.
At what point did the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes become sluts?
I must have missed that particular memo.
Everybody sit down so all can see
I'm Big Daddy Saint Nick, Christmas MC
You better step off 'cause don't you know
I roll deep with my elves all in a row
To my North Pole they will all go
With a jingle-jingle-jangle and a ho-ho-ho!
Eww…too much red lipstick or something…sort of scary
Ho hum bug.
Santa's a PIMP!

All Dragoman trips show you the 'must see' sights, as well as getting off the tourist track (quite literally!) using a fleet of well-maintained all-terrain vehicles to go to the places where most others don't go. Why not spend two nights camping in the Arches National Park, canoe along the Zambezi, or watch the sunset over the temples of Angkor Wat. This is where Dragoman belongs; mixing with local communities on a voyage of discovery at a grass roots level. As well as all terrain trucks we have trips using local transport or even luxury tours to suit all budgets and desires, with trips lasting anywhere between 12 days and nine months."

"The Dialogue", created by Crossing Borders Films and co-produced by Michigan State University, is the centerpiece of the CBF-MSU Intercultural Film Project. The MSU Toolkit, developed by MSU and co-produced by CBF, provides learning resources to support the film. The feature documentary was completed in September 2013 and is currently competing in several international film festivals.
"The Dialogue", is a sixtyeight-minute documentary that follows four American and four Chinese university students as they travel together through Hong Kong and Southwest China. Together the students explore each others backgrounds and learn skills of cross-cultural communication. Their shared travel adventures, emotion of culture shock, honest confrontations and discoveries about each other become doorways to deepen their understanding of the world, of themselves and of styles of communication that are able to bridge cultural differences.
