Nowadays, when everybody is always in hurry and has less and less time to waist the navigator becomes more and more indispensable. After a long absence, Magellan strikes the market with its new Maestro, a new GPS meant to help drivers arrive everywhere they wish. The device features a 4.3-inch WVGA display, Bluetooth, an integrated AAA TourBook, QuickSpell, rechargeable battery, integrated MP3 player, live traffic support and an FM transmitter. At first sight it doesn't seem to anything out-of-the-box but Magellan surely thinks otherwise about their product pricing it for $599.99.
If you are the owner of a car featuring run-flat tires or simply you don't have a winch, today we present you the Titan Exhaust Air Jack. This represents the modern winch that you actually can use without making any effort: simply connect the Titan to your car's exhaust pipe to inflate it and the vehicle will be lifted in no time, with up to 30 inches above the ground. The Titan stays inflated up to 45 minutes and it can be deflated in just 5 seconds, but you must be very careful not to intoxicate yourself with the carbon monoxide from the exhaust pipe. Price of the Titan Exhaust Air Jack: $120+, depending on the size you want. For those who want to buy one, the Titan Exhaust Air Jack can be bought from here.
Another interesting partnership is hitting today the high-tech segment with the release of the new P'9522, a product developed from the collaboration between Sagem, the French cellular producer and Porsche Design. Named iPorsche, the new cell phone has a very stylish looking and it features a large 2.8inch touch screen, 5 Megapixels digital camera, a GPS, a WiFi connector and a MicroSD fingerprint reader. There only one detail missing from the new jewelry, the 3G feature, but considering its equipment probably no one will give much of importance. The new cell is scheduled to hit the market by November with the first market aimed being France. Due to the Porsche signature the cost of the good looking accessory will be near €600.
Introducing the most fuel efficient and affordable machine to ever where the Lamborghini logo... unfortunately it's a lighter. Tonino offers a brand new collection of cigar lighters and cutters for those folks who own a Lamborghini or at least may want to look like they own one. Tonino offers two lighters models and a cigar cutter featuring Lamborghini logos, each of them manufactured carefully. If you expect to get this for $10 you're wrong! We know it is just a lighter but Tonino asks for one $150-$175. So it doesn't matter it is a pen, lighter or a laptop; if it has the Lambo logo, it must be expensive!
We have today the proof that big names in the automobiles industry are expanding their brands on other fields and products, becoming more popular brands or pocket products. This is the case of Nissan Motor which, in collaboration with Sharp Corporation, developed a new project, a special mobile phone which can be used as a smart key for cars. The combination cell phones and car technology was possible with the help of Docomo's expertise in the marketability of cells and the help of Nissan technical support to adapt the device and assure its functioning.
When it comes to disabled drivers it seems that no one wants to help them. But we were wrong, because BBNav presented today its first dedicated Blue Badge sat-nav solution specially designed for the disabled drivers and those caring the disabled like their families or carers. The new GPS system includes all the standard features as well as a new database which includes: on-street disabled parking bays, disabled accessible car parks and local council
Blue Badge parking concessions, over 60,000 points of interest (20,000 with the Blue Badge), a NAVTEQ street level mapping for UK & Republic of Ireland and a free six month safety camera alerts. The bad news is that the system is going to be available first in the UK and Ireland, but according to the manufacturer we will soon have this also in the Unites States!
GPS devises are going beyond just directions. So if you're interested in an upgrade, the new Sanyo NVM-4370 might be the answer. Priced at $300, the new GPS system features a 4.3″ screen, bluetooth connectivity, text-to-speech feature, FM transmitter and the possibility to connect the device to a reverse gear camera to use it while backing up. Also the NVM-4370 comes with a new software containing the U.S. map, including Alaska and Hawaii, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Ever found yourself in a crowded parking of a hypermarket and looked hours for your car because you forgot where you parked? Well, today we have your solution! A company named Bushnell released its BackTrack, a little GPS device that will help you find your car easily. So, let us tell you how it works: when you're ready to leave your car in the parking place, mark your position on the device with a single button press and it will make all the work for you. And if you think that you will not be able to take care of the device, don't worry, it is water resistant so it will not be a mess if you will drop it a little! More to know: the BackTrack uses 2 AAA batteries and features a high sensitivity SiRF Star III GPS receiver! It can be found here with a price tag of $59.99.
Ever wanted a passenger to know all the streets in your town and not to bother you too much while driving? Today this is possible! Of course, this is not a human being, is the Garmin Nuvi 880 GPS system! The new GPS is fitted with cutting-edge speech recognition, dynamic MSN Direct content and other interesting features. With the help of the speech recognition, the device makes the driving safer, just tell it what you want and he will do: for example you want to go to McDonalds, simply say "find" then "McDonalds" and the Garmin Nuvi 880 will find the restaurants. Also the MSN Direct services is an interesting feature, showing you information like traffic, news headlines, fuel prices and wireless "Send to GPS" feature. He only disadvantage might be its price: $800,00!
For those who just need a cheap nav system to get around, the Cobra Nav One 5000 may be a good choice. Fitted with a 5-inch display the device offers better routing options, hands-free Bluetooth options and comes also with a database of traffic-light as well as speed-camera locations. The big surprise regarding this device is its price: the Cobra Nav One 5000 can be found at a price of $205. For those interested in buying it, they can go here.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Wow....This is an amazing school. Incredible grades, Nice but Strict teachers, Friendly Students, they have it all. They need this 5,000 dollars. Guess what: They spent school funds to have music periods! Who knows what they will do! They try way too hard to have us happy! :) Why not give something to them for a change....:) There's no need for improving, in fact....it can't!
I have a 4th grader and 2 2nd graders this year at Central. I am so happy with the changes the district has made this year. The new principal, Mrs. Hammond, is amazing. You can really tell she is dedicated to leading by example. The PTO is such a hardworking group, committed to making sure the students have the best experience at the school. Their facebook page really helps keep me informed about activities at the school. Every volunteer that I have encountered at the school have been really nice and appropriate around the children. I know that volunteers are NEVER left alone with the children, so I really doubt the story the reviewer posted about one patting her child on the bottom. I have been at the school since 2009 and am very pleased with where my children are.
There has been big changes at this school recently and I am very happy with them! I wish some of the teachers would be a little nicer and more approachable. The principal needs to be more involved but I appreciate the changes she is making. My kid is happy and I'm happier lately in general with the office staff and new proctors. Central is headed in a good direction!
No longer happy with this school. The school has no principal, teachers are moved around during school and too many subs! The staff doesn't know if they are coming or going. Wish I could transfer to a better school for my kid.
My daughter went to kg here last year and one day she came home and told me one of the volunteers patted her bottom. Went to talk to teacher and was told it would be taken care of. Well my other daughter started kg this year then the same thing happens with same person. Called police and go to find out the school has no policy on volunteers requiring a background check. Parents, guard your kids because this school does not care.
It's a shame that this school is getting worse just because of one person: it's new principal. It used to be such a good school. Now parents and kids are disappointed when in the past it was a pride to belong to it. Just as a little example of the lack of integrity of the new principal is the way she chooses the winner of the pumpkin contest. The worst gets the 1st place and all parents get to see the that all of it is just favoritism. API scores are getting worse. I wonder when the Superintendent will notice that this person is not good for directing the school, but the traffic in the parking lot. At least she is an expert at doing it.
My son has attended Central since kindergarten. He loves it and is very comfortable. Every teacher he has had have been great-no issues. However, the principal, office staff and proctors are not friendly and don't make myself or other parents feel comfortable. They need to be more approachable. Everything else is great.
Central School has been a good school but in the past few years it has declined in it's ability to advance children academically, particularly children with disabilities. They seem to ignore research and choose cookie cutter curriculum that does not work. There have been some significant staff changes in during this time which may contribute to this. I feel confident in the new principal but remain reserved in my opinion of the school overall.
My son attends Central school. I am very satisfied with the staff. He is doing very well in all areas.
Both my daughter and son are enrolled at Central. I will say that my children have exceeded academically, and most of all they both enjoy attending school. The teachers are pleasant to speak to and the Principal has always demonstrated great Leadership.
Our home school is in Chino but my son is on a district transfer and has been since he began kindergarten. He has had outstanding teachers each year and always enjoys school. His state test scores have been outstanding. His teachers are supportive, easy to work with and maintain a positive learning environment. He has been treated with respect and learned to treat others that way as well. I would highly recommend Central School and actually have many times.
My son has attended this school since kindergarten. This will be his last year, we have had a wonderfull time at this school the staff and parents are excellent in participation and experiance. One great school.
This school is a great school for kids and parents. The school is very flexible with letting parents get involved with school programs. The principal and all the teachers are very freindly.
Teachers are wonderful! They are dedicated and really care about each student. The principal however needs to be more approachable.

GLENDALE, AZ - JANUARY 01: DeMarco Murray #7 of the Oklahoma Sooners runs the football to score a touchdown in the first quarter against the Connecticut Huskies during the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl at the Universtity of Phoenix Stadium on January 1, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** DeMarco Murray
Heading into his first full season at the helm of the Cowboys, Jason Garrett made it clear that every position is open to competition. This includes running back, which might explain where third-round pick DeMarco Murray fits into the plans.
There's already talk that Murray, who etched his name in the record books at Oklahoma, could make an instant impact on offense.
The Las Vegas-native is looked at as more of an all-around back who has the ability to shine in short yardage situations. This may take away from the "running back by committee" theory and actually cut down playing time for others.
The issue with Murray, while at OU, has been the injury bug. Murray redshirted his first year at Oklahoma because of a toe injury. He tied Adrian Peterson's freshman record of 15 touchdowns in 2007, but suffered the dislocated kneecap while trying to recover an onside kick at Texas Tech.
Surgery wiped out workouts the following spring. He was a 1,000-yard rusher as a third-year sophomore, then went down with the hamstring tear on the opening kickoff of the Big 12 championship game.
Another spring, more surgery.
He was a scratch the last time OU reached the National Championship game at the end of the 2008 season, suffering a torn hamstring tendon.
Murray flirted with the idea of entering the NFL draft after the 2009 season, opted against it and threw himself into physical and mental conditioning for his senior year. He finished with 1,214 yards rushing and passed Steve Owens for OU's all-time career touchdown record with 58.
Another dimension Murray brings to the Cowboys is special teams, where he is expected to help as a return specialist. If he gets featured in the offense like second-year wide receiver Dez Bryant is expected to be, the Cowboys would be in good position to use both Bryant and Murray to field punts so neither wears down and each remains explosive in that phase.
So if the injury bug is out of the way, Murray could be looked at as a steal for the Cowboys.

Conscientious Cook: Sustainable Seafood Month
Monterey Bay Aquarium offers one of the great ocean-friendly seafood guides we talked about last week. Food blog Leather District Gourmet took their guide as inspiration for a food blog event - Sustainable Seafood Month.
Jacqueline invited cooks and chefs to submit recipes using the best sustainable seafood from the Monterey Bay Aquarium list. She received delicious recipes from all over the country, including a Kerala Fish Bake, Pan-Fried Butter Garlic Prawns, and Seared Chesapeake Rockfish over minted pumpkin and crispy kale. Check out her Sustainable Seafood Month roundup for inspirationatl tips and more recipes for ocean-friendly seafood.
1 Comment
It's funny to see Chesapeake rockfish on that list, because it was once endangered by overfishing. Once the population bounced back, the crab population started to decline, because rockfish like baby crabs for breakfast.

Dustin Aksland: Ctrl+P: Photography Taken Offline at Catherine Edelman GalleryJuxtapoz // Friday, 15 Jul 2011
Tonight, July 15, in Chicago, Catherine Edelman Gallery will open the newest chapter of the Ctrl+P: Photography Taken Offline series, featuring photography from Dustin Aksland's Sounds of the Soil series. Ctrl+P is a project where Edeleman Gallery finds top talents on blogs and the web, and promotes a series of their work in the gallery.
The California born, NYC-based Aksland says of his series, "Sounds of the Soil is a photographic journey through the beautiful and enigmatic Rajasthan region of India. It's a region filled with harsh climate and terrain, but is contrasted with the warm, fun loving spirit of it's inhabitants. On my journey I met so many interesting individuals, but the subjects I was most intrigued by were the ones working this unforgiving land, and the entertainers roaming the dessert with their songs of love, separation, heroism and revelry."

By Adam Levy - June 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CCMO.PK, P
Pandora (NYSE: P) investors know the company is trying to get more local, particularly in its advertising, but this one came out of left field. Pandora just bought a radio station in Rapid City, South Dakota - KXMZ "Today's Hits Without Rap!" The move is a legal maneuver, a brilliant one at that, to help reduce its content costs. But the move could pay-off even more in the long-term than more »
Is Christine Day Worth $2 Billion
By Adam Levy - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: GPS, INTC, LULU, UA
Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) lost over $2 billion of market cap on Tuesday, after CEO Christine Day announced her resignation with the company's first quarter results. Despite cries for her resignation since the company's see-through pants debacle earlier this year, the big names in the stock apparently felt her announced departure was mistimed. So, estimate beating earnings results notwithstanding, the stock plunged 17.5%, seemingly all on the more »

By Adam Levy - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: ET, IBM, MSFT, ORCL, CRM
Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) announced its plans to acquire cloud-based digital marketing company ExactTarget (NYSE: ET) last week. The deal has Salesforce paying a 53% premium for ExactTarget, which is clearly a big win for the takeover target's shareholders. The market is unsure if the deal is so great for Salesforce.
Let's take a look at the pros and cons of Salesforce's latest acquisition, and then come more »

By Adam Levy - June 7, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, NFLX, VIA
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Viacom (NASDAQ: VIA) came to a deal recently that will provide Amazon Prime subscribers exclusive streaming access to a slew of popular programming. The deal came almost immediately after streaming king Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) allowed its contract with the media company to lapse at the end of May, and is only the latest effort from Amazon to compete with Netflix in on-demand streaming video.

Lifting the Cloud of Pessimism
By Adam Levy - June 7, 2013 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, SBUX
Since its IPO burned a lot of early investors, Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) stock has suffered from a cloud of pessimism. Any news on the company is rarely viewed favorably. Year-to-date, the stock is down more than 16% while the S&P 500 has climbed 11.5%. This makes shares attractive once again, as the market has beaten down the stock based on several concerns that I believe they're more »
5 Reasons to Hold On to This Energy Company
By Adam Levy - June 7, 2013 | Tickers: HAL, NOV, SLB
11% of the S&P 500's value is derived from energy stocks. I have the same amount of my retirement portfolio allocated toward the energy sector as well. But unlike the S&P 500, my energy portfolio consists of just one company - National Oilwell Varco (NYSE: NOV).
Since buying the company, and making a CAPS pick, last fall, the stock has underperformed the market by about 20%. Meanwhile, plenty more »

Right now, game makers are working on the must-have game for the PS4 and Xbox One. A large portion of these companies' 2013 and 2014 revenues will depend on these franchises.
Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) has had several great successes recently in console gaming. Chief among more »
How to Invest in (the Internet of) Things
By Adam Levy - June 3, 2013 | Tickers: BCOM, CSCO, INTC, IBM
When I entered college, the laundry machines in the basement of my dorm building would send you an email when your laundry was done. The system was pretty slick, and cut down on the waiting time in a building packed with hundreds of students and only about 16 washing machines.
This was just the beginning of the "Internet of Things" whereby everyday devices are connected to the internet, and send more »
The Day the Market Opened Pandora's Box
By Adam Levy - June 3, 2013 | Tickers: P
The stock market is a confusing beast. We all know the value of a company doesn't really change by the minute, but its value on the market might change from say $3.36 billion at the opening hour of trading, to just $2.84 billion at the close. Such was the case of Pandora (NYSE: P) on May 24.
So, what changed? Is the story at Pandora fundamentally different more »
Forget Smart TVs, Give People a Box
By Adam Levy - June 2, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, MSFT
In an age where smart TVs are increasingly popular, there sure are a lot of over-the-top devices bringing smart capabilities to television sets. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) recently revealed the Xbox One focusing more on its entertainment features than its gaming capabilities. Amazon is reportedly working on a Roku/Apple TV rival. And Intel is rumored to be working on a set top box that replaces traditional pay-TV options.

Eat My Shorts
By Adam Levy - May 31, 2013 | Tickers: CMG, PNRA, YUM
It's really easy to make a short case for Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) these days.
Step 1: Point to its recent performance. Shares are up more than $100 in the last six months. Clearly, it's run too far too fast.
Step 2: Make a fuss over how high its P/E ratio is. Currently trading around 40 times earnings, Chipotle is priced at nearly a 100% premium more »
Marissa Mayer: Gaming Acquisitions
By Adam Levy - May 30, 2013 | Tickers: GOOG, YHOO
To paraphrase 50 Cent, Marissa Mayer loves acquisitions like a fat kid loves cake. Before the financial gurus finished breaking down Yahoo!'s (NASDAQ: YHOO) Tumblr acquisition, Mayer went ahead and snatched up the cross-platform gaming backend PlayerScale - the company's sixth acquisition in May.
The acquisition gives Yahoo! a foothold in mobile gaming helping fill a gaping hole in Yahoo!'s mobile portfolio. At the same time, the data more »

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls police went to seven fireworks complaints on Tuesday and 25 yesterday.
There will be more today and even more on Friday the 4th.
Officer Sam Clemens says it's illegal to discharge fireworks that explode or deliver a projectile in the city limits. He says that leaves sparklers, snakes and smoke bombs that are okay in the city.
Clemens says it's up to the officer to issue a warning or a ticket. If you're a repeat or chronic offender you may get a citation.
Clemens says a fireworks citation is a $95 fine.

A New Year, A New Me
Hey Everyone!
In case you haven't noticed I haven't been posting here much lately. A big part of that was the holidays but another big factor in that was that my zest for blogging has been going the way of the dodo bird in these last few months. I haven't been feeling like I can keep up with the demanding schedule of meeting all of the review requirements I sign up for (totally my fault) and I haven't been able to maintain a steady posting schedule. Then when I randomly do post I am so out of the loop that the readership just isn't there. I've been thinking for a while now that a co-bloggership could probably alleviate a lot of the stress I feel when it comes to blogging but I really didn't know how to go about making that happen and who I would want to do it with. I mean that's big! Inviting someone else on board to share your baby. Then I got an invite from Giselle of Xpresso Reads that has festered in the back of my mind for quite a while now. Waking up this morning I decided that it was a new year and it was time to bite the bullet and start making things happen…
So after much consideration (and prodding from Giselle) I have decided that I am going to be moving. That's right, I am now a part of Xpresso Reads and I am pretty excited.
Of course there is a big part of me that is pretty nervous about it all because, I mean come on, it's like packing up and leaving your childhood home! But Giselle and I have been talking daily for almost two years now and I really think we can make this work and have a lot of fun doing it. I am expecting there to be some head butting along the way, I know how much we argue about books already. But we always take it in stride and usually come to a point where we have a good laugh about everything. She has been really great with making me feel at home over there, even giving me a lady in a fab dress to represent myself on the header (though I did have to ask her to cover up some of the boobage!) and I of course brought over my Edmonton Book Blogger Badge because I have to represent :).
For a while I will keep this guy up and running, because I feel like I have to, It's my blog baby but I don't think there will be anything to see over here. I hope everyone who was an avid reader of my blog will follow me over there to watch the tomfoolery that Giselle and I get up to. I'm planning on having some epic reviews on books that we disagree on and one of my new years resolutions is to start vlogging again so please be sure to watch for that!
See you on the Xpresso side!

Keeping in line with the emphasis on coupling youth and experience, Pune FC signed Anthony D'Souza in June 2013. The twenty-six-year-old who primarily operates as a left winger is known for his skills, pace, trickery and also has a penchant for scoring goals.
Born in Siolom, Goa, Anthony is a product of the Sesa Football Academy. He joined Sporting Club de Goa in 2006 and went on- loan for the 2007-08 season at a local Goan club, Velsao Pale before returning back to Sporting.
In 2009-10 season, Anthony made his I-league debut with Sporting and also managed to get on the score sheet to make his mark. Unfortunately, Sporting were relegated to the second division in that season. Showing his loyalty towards the club who provided him the stage to display his talent, Anthony stayed back at Sporting and helped the club fight back and earn promotion in 2011.
In the 2011-12 season, Anthony bagged 5 goals which included 2 braces as he finished the season as the third highest goal scoring Indian midfielder behind the likes of Clifford Miranda and Lalrindika Ralte.
In his later years at Sporting, D'Souza remained a key member of the side, always a constant threat to the oppositions with his dribbling, creativity, assists and goal-scoring form.
Having joined Salgaocar FC last season, he began the season with a bang! He lit up the 2012 Federation Cup as he scored in all 3 group games. As a result, he ended up being the top scoring Indian in the group stage and the second top scoring Indian in the entire tournament. Having begun the season with a flourish, disaster struck as he got injured in the opening I-League encounter itself which led him to miss the first half of the season.
Anthony, however, made his comeback in the latter half of the season making three I-League appearances for Salgaocar.
Now in his first season at Pune FC, Anthony, who'll incidentally be playing for a club based out of Goa for the first time in his life, hopes to work hard and help Pune FC achieve success!

i love board presses! you can double the minis up and try them that way, thats one of my favs. we prolly do some sort of board press every week. we do 2,3,4and 5 boards. sometimes minis sometimes...
adam, do you ever use board presses?
maybe i missed it, but what is your best squat and deadlift? you lift raw correct?
good job adam! sucks they took your squat before they should have though. after you work out a few kinks your next meet will be great!
paul, do you plan to use bands/ chains in these nine weeks or will you maybe use them down the road?
best of luck Adam!
Adam, what bench shirt do you use?
also, do you use a squat and/or deadlifting suit?
can you do good am's with the bar resting on the pins at the bottom position? like you did zerchers? would this be effective?
Adam, with the zechers done like that, do you put the weight on the pins at a low level and start from there? when you come down do you touch the pins?
hope that makes sence lol
nice good am BTW
so do you think taller people with longer arms would be better suited for sumos?
any advantages or disadvantages to each?
j/w which do you use? ive been using conven. but may give sumos a try.
when doing these in a power rack, at the bottom position, do you touch the bar against the pins then go up?
saw a video on elitefits where they were done this way.
thats correct, you use other variations of the bench squat and dead.
for example, on ME bench day you can use board press, floor press etc. on ME squat/dead you can use low box squats, rack pulls,...
paul, appox how much less is your floor press then your reg bench?
are there any articles on bands you could suggest? im a little confused on how to set them up etc.
where can they be bought? which ones should be bought?
im a new westsider but i LOVE it! it seems alot harder then it is but you will get the hang of it quickly. i had a post a few weeks ago where latty, getin, powerman, paul etc all helped me out.
ok gotcha with the rack presses. ill prolly try them in a few weeks on ME day.
what kind of shirt would you suggest?
appox. how much will you gain on your bench using a shirt?
for rack presses, do you just life the weight off the rack? or do you bring it back down and do a few reps? this make sence?
i did them today for the first time. i used the rope and had a shoulder width stance, knees slightly bent. bent over and came back to a standing postion.
is this correct?
nope, i wont be using a bench shirt. should i go a little wider then fingers on smooth?
nice job with the box squats!

sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches. the tricky part i've found is not knowing how many of them are comin. I like to reference any of the "Rocky" movies. The guy gets wailed on the entire match, non-stop punches until he's just about to die and then somehow manages to squirt out one punch and win. As much as that used to annoy me as ridiculously unrealistic, i've finally seen the point. It's not about the amount of punches you take, it's more about getting up after each one of them. that might be one of the lamest things I've ever said, please forgive me
We've had a relentless 6-9 months. Believe it or not, the past 2 have continued, one shocking event after another. Did I tell you how I broke my fingers? Ok, truth be told it was only 1 broken finger but I find I get more attention saying 2. Not to mention the other one hurts pretty damn bad it might as well be broken. Here's how it happened..
So our dudes in papa roach came to town and played at Congress which is an old ass (yet bad ass) theatre in Chicago. The dressing room had a window that led to an old school firescape. ya know the ones with the iron platforms and stairs that fold down in case of fire? well yeah, we were out on that thing enjoying a beautiful view of the city. There were about 5 of us out there and one more began to climb out the window onto the already crowded platform so I moved over to make room. Coincidentally I was talking at the time and as I leaned back against the railing (that I had in my previous position).. I just kept goin. It was my 2nd best fall of all time. I usually judge falls by the time it takes from the start of it to the moment you stop moving. My best fall (off the stage in Houston on Halloween 2008) clocked in at just under 11 seconds. This one was about 4-5 seconds (if you really picture it… thats a long time). There simply was no railing and I just tumbled down the staircase. Ok that's not exactly true.. Truth is I weigh all of 1.7 pounds so the staircase never even deployed lol. Pleased with myself at the entertainment I had provided for my friends, I picked up my dignity and moved on. Show ended and we decided to have everyone come kick it on my rooftop. Only problem was my car had been towed. There are no problems, only challenges.. so we jumped in a cab and went to my rooftop. This is where things got awesome.
It was super windy that night and about 6 of us were up there having some drinks waiting for the p-roach dudes to arrive. I was talking to some shady dude that one of our high school friends brought over about how today's House music just doesn't compare to the early days of Bad Boy Bill or some shit I know nothing about but pretend to so people will like me. Suddenly a massive plume of black smoke (picture the smokemonster in "Lost") meanders it's way from the adjacent rooftop over our heads. My building is an old "U" - shaped (well more like " I_I ") loft and we're on one of the sides while the bottom of the "I_I" exploded in flames. After a quick pause for some FB pics, we called 9-1-1. jk. I'm pretty sure my first call went something like this.. "my building exploded!" click. So I called back cuz I forgot to give em the address lol. We ran downstairs grabbed the cat and my xanax and started banging on doors as we made our way down the stairs. We got outside and started calling people from the intercom to wake them up just as the fire trucks arrived.
Being the good neighbor that I am I called my friend Matt next door to make sure he was all good. He was at a party.. but his dog wasn't. He asked me to go get Spencer. titch bits. I'll admit, it dawned on me for a brief second… maybe I could be a hero? So I waited til nobody was looking and ran back in. All the way up 6 flights of stairs (pausing on the 4th to barf, i'm out of shape) and into Matt's apartment. Admittedly I went in pretty excitable.. after all there was a fire. Briefly forgetting dogs don't speak much English, I went in screaming "spencer! the buildings on fire, we gotta get outta here pal!". He mauled me. I took a 5 minute beat-down from him until I managed to get his collar on. Ran him all the way downstairs (pausing on the 2nd floor to barf) and out to safety. My hand was bloody and my finger(s) broken. The best part of it however was that the fire never even made it to our wing. Not even a waft of smoke.

- A sure betSmwebbDined on 9/30/2014I like that even with a menu which is often being updated, I can be certain of finding something I'll enjoy. This time was no exception. Service was a little too hands-off, but I received my food in a timely manner and was pleased with my meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fun,casual dinningNana5Dined on 9/17/2014A casual dinning experience , excellent food and service. Suggest allowing reservations for the weekend so you are not left waiting for a long timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- now with outdoor diningGreenVIPDined on 9/11/2014Always very good & now they added outdoor dining. Maybe catch a few remaining warm days otherwise next year it will be great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovesteak47lovesteak47Dined on 8/27/2014I've been many times in the past fifteen years. The food is good and service attentive. Definitely not a place for young children. No children's menu except for the standard pasta with butter and/or cheese. Also, no wi-fi which made it difficult for us to keep a two year old entertained while sitting in a highchair. Please fix side exit meant for emergency escape was not clearly marked. I walked through it and nearly knocked a woman off her chair. Apparently an outside dining table was placed nearby and one of the diners had moved her chair in front of it and I didn't see her. The door on the outside is marked do not enter or "use other door". On the inside, there is no notation. This should be corrected.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was just OKjefflissVIPDined on 8/26/2014Ambiance is lacking. Food was good but expensive for what you get.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/26/2014We went for an early dinner and our server, Jill, I think, was wonderful. Try the calamari - yummy!!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food!VisitorDined on 8/25/2014We all thought our meals were good. For the dishes to be great, I believe that there needed to be more information about what you were getting and a little more savory flavor. The "pizza" said it had proscuitto and arugula. I didn't think it was going to be fresh on top and have no cheese. I thought it would be cooked I also thought that it was slightly overpriced. Others felt the same way about their dishes (salmon, pork and chicken). There could have been a little more interest in the flavoring, as well. The bruschetta appetizer was great but there wasn't enough of it for the money at a casual restaurant where you are bringing family and would like to share.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Teresa'sOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/13/2014I always enjoy my time at Teresa's. The atmosphere is funa nd casual. The wine is good and the food is always tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average food - So-so serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/7/2014The food, while too salty for our tastes was OK - not great - but OK. It was overpriced for the quality - but this is likely reflective of its Princeton address. Our waitress was slow and did not seem interested in us or the timing of our food. At one point she delivered a salad - and told us that she forgot to mention it was included with my meal - but she just assumed I wanted the dressing - and that is how she delivered it. I had ordered a side of meatballs with my pasta - but the meatballs were not delivered until several minutes after the pasta. A glass of wine took over 10 minutes to be delivered - and this was early in the evening with the restaurant half empty.

- Balsalmico is Back!shannamariaDined on 7/30/2014My favorite pasta was taken off the menu for a few months, but they brought it back! Teresa's is back to being one of my top places to eat around Princeton University campus.Special Features:
- Great location, good food, ok decorAiredaleVIPDined on 7/30/2014Clearly the restaurant is a destination for the food. The restaurant is small, somewhat cramped, and very plain inside (plain white walls, big mirrors, limited ornamentation). That being said, the food is very good. Appetizers of meatballs and buffalo mozzarella were very good. Selection of beers and wines is also very good. Pizzas looked well prepared, seafood was well presented although had a little too much sodium for my taste. I'm not sure I'd go again, food wasn't noteworthy enough to make Teresa Caffe a better choice than other nearby restaurants.Special Features:
- Excellent Italian food in PrincetonbrendanDined on 7/14/2014Teresa Cafe has an excellent though not extensive menu of tasty Italian food. The wine list compliments well and the service is a good balance of attention and discretion. It's busy and vibrant, more cafe than restaurant so makes a wonderfully fun night out.Special Features:
- Princeton is competitiveIvyEaterDined on 7/10/2014Food is pretty good seating is tight and slightly less than an Italian atmosphere. Princeton is highly competitive location making this a nice place to eat but not a homerun. Too many gems to choose from here to label it great.Special Features:
- Good food, mediocre servicePrincetonfoodieDined on 7/1/2014We ordered a pizza and a salmon as our main entrees and both were delicious. The food came out pretty quick, but the server seemed worn out and as if she really did not want to be working. She took our order and hardly came back after that, since other people brought our food and drinks. The tables were so close together that there was no privacy in the restaurant. Good place to grab lunch but don't go there if you're expecting a romantic night or a private dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food, nice spotdiggemDined on 6/23/2014Food was delicious, wine was good (Spanish whites are always great for the price and their menu had a few), and overall a nice experience. Only hiccup was that we were initially seated between sections, and no server came to us until we asked what was going on, since they all assumed the table belonged to another server.

- Unpleasantly loudeatthisDined on 6/8/2014Two of us ordered pasta dishes which were satisfactory, by no means an excellent representation of the real thing. A friend ordered the French toast which she liked, but said the portion was a bit skimpy. Our biggest disappointment was the level of noise. We were seated immediately to the left of the door. We had to lean into the table to make conversation. We really wanted dessert, but opted to have it elsewhere.

The only downside- everyone knows this and the place is almost always packed with a wait! Bonus if you have kids: there is an amazing toy store next store to visit while you wait. Favorite menu items- pizza in salary and linguine vongole. Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

My dining companion had the baby spinach with salmon and declared it the best salmon she has ever eaten. The appetizer of lightly seasoned olives was totally unique and different. Definitely a place to which we want to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fresh flavorsFlaAmyDined on 4/24/2014Enjoyed that I could make a reservation on a weeknight and arrived to have my table waiting. Our party of five tried the two seafood pasta dishes, the verde pizza, and the swordfish special of the night. Everyone was happy with their selections which were filled with fresh vegetables and thoughtful composition. The bread and seasoned oil has that great terra taste to it. Service was efficient but not rushed. Having visited the area for several years, we found this to be one of the best values in Princeton. I imagine you may have to wait for a table on the weekends.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food - local favoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 4/23/2014Very active and noisy atmosphere. Happy customers, busy staff. Innovative tastes, fresh ingredients. Five of us met here for dinner. Parking was a challenge, and the location was a not obvious to find. Several of the guys had pizza and they really enjoyed it. I had a pasta with pork sausage dish that was very good. The waitress, a tall striking red head, had some very good recommendations. The beers offered were good but I expected a little wider offering. We had a good CA cab red wine during the meal. We all enjoyed expressos and cappuccinos and I really liked the chocolate torteSpecial Features:
- Little pricy....CrestbeachbumDined on 4/17/2014Nice menu selection with lots of variety. I know it's Princton but thought $28 for a chicken sandwich ($12) and a glass of wine ($10) with tip for lunch was rather pricy. Would like to see a house wine offered or any wine that's less than $8 for 1/3 of a glass. Sandwich and the side were tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's our go-to Italian restaurant in the Princeton's Palmer Sq; Love the Perfetta and the pasta with balsamic sauce - wish the would bring back the breakfast pizza; service is attentive and the kitchen will respond to special requests; We didn't have to wait for a table on a Thursday night but weekends are always a challenge as they do not take reservations and they require the entire party present before they seat.

- Another enjoyable meal at Theresa'smgh1Dined on 11/22/2013Theresa's has just changed the appearance of its menu but most of the items are either familiar or similar to previous incarnations. Our group split between different styles - salads, pizzette, a more formal entree - but everyone was happy with their choice and all were served and enjoyed together. The thin pizza had tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and a very thinly sliced hard sausage that made it very tasty. The bronzino fillets served over a canellini bean based vegetable medley was delicious and to my taste although some might find it cooked more than they prefer. We enjoyed a reasonably priced bottle of prosecco and additional glasses of beer and wine by the glass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Late night MealwineanddineVIPDined on 11/14/2013I have been here, off and on, since they opened ( I used to frequent the CW Cafe at this location before they moved to Lawrenceville). Big changes over the 2 decades, but I have always enjoyed the pastas I've sampled. Never less than 3 1/2 to 4 stars. In this instance, I booked at 9pm, showed up 15 minutes early, and was seated within 2 minutes. The paccheri was was very good, as were a couple of pints of ale. Being able to get a great meal after 9 on a weekday, makes me consider this a great late-night find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A group of friends and I (5OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/14/2012A group of friends and I (5 in total) went to Pizza e Vino at Teresa's a few weeks ago. Despite having a reservation for 8:30 pm, there was no table available when we arrived, and we were not seated until 9:10. Now Teresa's doesn't take reservations normally, so I would have expected such a wait for a Friday or Saturday night around this time. But this being a Monday, the only night for which they do schedule reservations, it was very disappointing. Additionally, they didn't offer us any food or drink to hold us over while we waited for 40 minutes, and then the waitress scolded us for not informing her that we had several vegetarians in the group (one would have imagined that they could have asked us this while we waited for 40 minutes).Special Features:
- An Awesome Meal!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/7/2012My co-worker and I were visiting the Princeton area. We happened on the Pizza and Wine "Monday night dinner." It was wonderful...a 5 course meal paired with wines...or for me water with lemon. Our server, Kelly, was so knowledgeable about the meal and the wines being offered. We never wanted for anything. The service was awesome. My favorite part of the meal was the 4th course of pizza with local sausage on it. My only problem is that you need 2 people do to the Pizza meal and I will be on my own for the rest of the project. I am ready to return anytime.Special Features:
- a little hectic but great foodSheriSVIPDined on 2/19/2012Great little restaurant. The tables are very crowded together giving an enclosed feeling. Our waitress was lovely but the kitchen backed upas they changed from the brunch menu to the lunch one and we got caught in the rush. The people around us who arrived after we did were getting their food way before us. The waitress was most apologetic and shortly after brought out our food which was excellent. Will definitely return.Special Features:

Club Terri
May 13th, 2011
Welcome to Club Terri run by Terri Jane. Starring Terri Jane. Hosted by Terri Jane. And narrated by Terri Jane. At this club, Terri Jane's lovely pair of coconuts are the star attractions. This beachside paradise suits Terri Jane just fine compared to the chill of the UK. "I love the beach. We could take a blanket and we could sit there and drink champagne and eat strawberries together and watch the sun set. That would be a dream if a guy did that for me. I would love it." Terri looks hot in her sexy dress. Hot in both ways. She heads to the pool and wiggles out of it, like a flower opening in the tropical sun to reveal its bounty. And, so Terri, what's the first thing we guys ask Terri Jane to do for us if given the opportunity? "First they ask me to get them out and then they want me to bounce them up and down. Then they like me to get on top of them and drop my breasts on their face and jiggle them around a bit. Men like jiggling and bouncing boobs." Actually, Terri, we go berserk over jiggling and bouncing boobs. Especially yours. We salute British bobbers and hers bob very nicely in the Club Terri pool. XLGirls thanks Terri Jane once again for the wonderful things she does!

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
Tristan and I were headed to the Big Apple to visit my sister and newborn nephew. (She's just started her own parenting blog, please check it out!) It would be a trip of firsts for both of us – first mother-son trip, first trip by train, first time to NY (for Tristan), and first time dining out since Tristan's first anaphylactic reaction. Needless to say I was most worried about the latter item.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I reached out to Sloane Miller, aka Allergic Girl, food allergy expert, and NYC resident.
Through her company, Allergic Girl Resources, Sloane "provides advocacy, coaching and consulting to empower individuals with food allergies and their families to engage in the world safely, effectively, and joyously." She also provides food allergy consulting and training for restaurants, government, and corporations. Sloane graciously offered me with a condensed consultation about managing, traveling with, and dining out with food allergies in preparation for our trip. (Please note that Tristan and I were not clients under Sloane Miller's care and I'm offering this review of my own will, without any obligations.)
In preparation for our phone consultation, Sloane asked for the following information as they pertain to Tristan's food allergies:
Sloane used Tristan's medical information to customize our session, where she shared her wisdom for traveling and dining out with Tristan's multiple food allergies. And just what did I learn? A LOT! She was so helpful and understanding, but also persistent (as a coach should be). A few of her recommendations really overwhelmed me and she sensed this, gently pushing the issue and reminding me why it was crucial.
Are you curious? Would you like to hear some of her advice? Well then, here are some of the highlights (in my own words).
On top of all this great advice, Sloane gave me the name of many restaurants she's either dined at in NY or personally trained on food allergy safety. This really helped us. I'll share the restaurants we chose to dine with in the next post about our visit to NY with multiple food allergies. You can also see a full list of restaurants Sloane recommends at Allergic Girl Recommends.
A HUGE thank you to Sloane Miller for her food allergy wisdom and allowing me to share it with you!
Now, let's hear from you. What tips do you have for traveling and dining out with food allergies? What lessons have you learned?

Skokie,IL Roof Repair Questions Answered
Top reasons a roof would need repair:
- Ice dams during colder months can lead to roof leaks
- Roof leaks by roofing seams, flashing, chimneys, skylights
- Damage caused by natural disasters (i.e., high winds, hailstorm, lightning, etc-)
- Breakdown of roofing material and/or support structure caused by weathering, age or installation was done incorrectly
Are slate roofs repairable, or does it require complete re-roof?
It really depends upon the extent of the damage. Slate roofs are extremely durable, but they do deteriorate over time and can crack when damaged in a storm. If the damage is in a small localized area, and the rest of the tiles are in good shape, it's best to do a patch-up job by removing the damaged or cracked tiles and replacing them with new tiles.
According to the U.S. Department of the Interior's Technical Preservation Services, it's often times less expensive to completely re-roof a slate roof that has incurred damage over 20 percent or more of the tiles. Repairing a severely damaged slate roof is time-consuming and expensive, so a complete tear off and replacement may be the most cost-effective option in this case.

Parents Force Teen to Hold Humiliating Sign as Punishment: Tough Love or Too Far?by Free Britney at . Comments
Worried about their 13-year-old daughter's increasingly disrespectful behavior, two parents decided to make her punishment humiliating and public.
Gentry and Renee Nickell of Crestview, Fla., made her spend 90 minutes standing at a busy intersection with a hand-written sign describing her sins:
The sign they made her hold says: "I'm a self-entitled teenager w/no respect for authority. I'm also super smart, yet I have 3 'D's' because I DON'T CARE."
Passing motorists saw the teen and took pictures with their phones. Some of the photos ended up on Facebook, where they were shared within the community.
Someone called the cops, who showed up to talk to the teen and left after deciding that she was "aware of her punishment and she was not in any harm."
Now, however, the parents are feeling a little humiliation of their own.
"I wasn't even thinking about what the public was going to think," her mom, Renee told the Northwest Florida Daily News. "I was thinking about our daughter."
"It was for her to be in the public and recognize what she had done."
"We spend so much focus on not wanting to hurt a child's self esteem that we don't do anything," the Nickells said in a statement defending the punishment.
"As they say, walk a mile in someone's shoes," the statement read.
"We must undo at home what the world tries to tell her is better."
Renee Nickell said the family has had a hard time since Renee's brother was killed in Afghanistan in December 2011. Her kids were close to him and his family.
Since losing her uncle in the war, Renee's 13-year-old girl has become much more defiant at home and at school, and her grades have dropped.
"We just felt like she just kind of gave up," Renee told the newspaper.
Holding a sign in public wasn't their first choice for punishment.
They tried grounding her, but it didn't help. They didn't forbid her from attending church, they said, because that was supposed to reinforce strong values.
They didn't confiscate the teenager's electronics because neither she nor their two younger children, ages 2 and 6, even have any, the couple said.
"We just got to the point where we just didn't know what else to do," Renee said, then they heard about the sign idea from a Christian counselor.
The girl's dad stood next to her the whole time. "At the end, she gave me a hug in front of a police officer and she told me she was sorry," Gentry said.
But soon, the Nickells were surprised to find out that their daughter's punishment had gone viral, and were shocked by the anger leveled at them.
What do you think? Was a little tough love warranted in this case? Or did they go a little too far? Are they the worst parents ever? Discuss below.
I think the parents are original in a way and also slightly creative. Although they should have made a sign that is more humorous so it is not affecting the young teen's self esteem. This is better than hitting your kids, but it's still a form of aggression, after all don't we put a lot of efforts in those anti-bulying campaigns all over the country?
I think they went too far with that punishment
they are the worst parents they could of talk
to her about her grades and the way she was
acting instead of putting her out in public with
a sign
I commend these parents...damn you can't even make a kid hold a sign without getting ridiculed as a parent nowadays...complain over everything these are the people who didn't get disciplined as children...leave them alone cause i would bet money she learned her lesson!!!
I commend these parents...damn you can't even make a kid hold a sign without getting ridiculed as a parent nowadays...complain over everything these are the people who didn't get disciplined as children...leave them alone cause i would bet money she learned her lesson!!!
Blame the Kids of this generation for everything all you want, but guess who is raising them? People like You! Blame the parents, Not the kids! Your generation messed up this Country, Not the current one! Get you're facts straight!
Sage, you are very empathetic, (as I try to be) and you hit the nail on the head. You "get it" about mental abuse. I guess some people don't realize that mental abuse is considered WORSE than physical abuse. With physical abuse, you can see the bruises, scars, and broken bones. Mental abuse usually stays the "sick secret." In this case, ignorance is not bliss, and we should watch out for each other. Those parents were "airing their dirty laundry," for everyone to see. Imagine the creeps that were driving by. They were probably wishing her father wasn't there, so they could kidnap her. C'mon people, there's better ways than announcing to the world, that you think your daughter is Crap, and want to show everyone how important her father is. I think this probable egomaniac should make his own sign, and stand alone, next to the traffic. Next time he should use his head. Kids are being raised w/ less and less hope, each year. The Gov't Sharks at the top are the ones w/ huge salaries, and all kinds of retirement, and benefits, that we all pay for. Then everyone else is supposed to get along w/ 2 cents, because after these hogs have at it, theres nothing left for the others. It never changes because they never leave, and keep giving themselves a raise. They should look at how simply the new Pope lives. I am impressed!! Also, another way we get our money devalued, is that the Gov't just keeps paying the bills with printing new money. How stupid is that? I'd say that is mental abuse, too. Let's live within our means, everyone.
LOL, that is the coolest. I'm getting ready to do this very same thing with my 10 year old son. My hat is off to parents like this that have created alternative punishment.
Yeah, right. You started off with LOL. That is exactly what everyone is going to do to you, and your son. Laugh Out Loud. Why would you subject yourself, son, and family to this public humiliation? Who is going to bring the bucket of rocks? That's all that's missing. Abuse comes in all forms. I wonder what you treat your dog like?
Please don't do this!!!
What motivates appropriate behavior is important.
He will do what you say ,,if you do this But out of fear of humiliation and not being loved. Not out of true respect. He will act respectful, but he will not think respectfully, wouldn't you like him to cooperate because he respects you. Teach him to communicate his feelings appropriately.. Take a parenting class. Redirecting children's behavior is a good one. Have you ever communicated your feelings in appropriately??? This child has learned how to do so in a respectful way. Don't be a bully Dad. Lead by example.. Learn the skills of firm and kind and earn true respect. I know you love your boy. So do all you can to raise him with high self-concept….
This is a better punishment than violence; it makes people talk with the parents as well as the child. But the parents have to accept some of the responsibility for her behavior. She "just doesn't care" simply because her parents didn't properly or consistently motivate her. If her parents calmly explained the consequences of her poor grades with data-facts and pictures she'll come to see that if she continues on the "don't care" spiral...she'll suffer consequences of having to stressfully care for herself and her offspring the rest of her life.
R. Pike, retired teacher.
Sage give us all a break you sound like you don't have kids but want to tell everyone else how to raise theirs. The far reaching effects of this girl will get her to realize she can't behave like a brat and get by with it. This is clearly not abuse in case you don't know it abuse is beating a child or neglecting her and allowing her to do what ever crosses her mind good or bad.If anyone needs their head examined it sounds more like you than them.
I am a retired police officer, mother and grandmother, so I know a little about parenting and punishment. Abuse comes in many forms, not just beatings and neglect. The public punishment of a minor is mental abuse and can have far reaching effects on this child. She may be a hellraiser, but she's still a kid. Even the courts protect the names of child offenders and seal their records. Forcing a 13 year old girl to stand in a busy intersection for 90 minutes, holding a sign was cruel, thoughtless and reckless. This could have caused an accident, too. I strongly believe that children need to suffer the consequences for inappropriate behavior, but what these parents did was completely inappropriate. These parents need professional help in dealing with their rebelious daughter, but not from the Christian counselor who suggested public humiliation. Really, what next? An exorcism?
I don't understand what some of you people are thinking these parents did what they thought was best for their child. I agree with others on here someone has to teach kids respect and it starts at home. Never in my life have I saw so many teenagers so very disrespectful in my life. The problem with that is parents either don't care or they are afraid of their own kids. STOP criticizing these parents you don't live with that girl they do and they aren't abusing or hurting her she got just punishment and she will remember it the next time she decides to disrespect her parents..... We need more parents like these and we would have a whole lot less criminals in the world. Kids that aren't taught respect and discipline grow up to be criminals. My hats off to these parents for caring how their kids behave.
the girl got just punishment. there was no harm done to her. we need more parents like this to help their children instead of letting them get away with rape, murder or anything else. our society is way to lient today. one must pay for their mistakes. good for the parents. wish more parents would act and stop ignoring their dids today.
