Bayport BBQ - New Restaurant Review (Unable to post as such. Their locaion is the former Bayport Cookery and Chowhound hasn't been updated.)

Bayport BBQ opened in the former Bayport Cookery location this past fall. I've visited many times since and it just keeps getting better and better. I brought a group of nine to dinner last night. Chef Chris bent over backwards to give us a sample of almost the entire menu. Yowsers! We left stuffed and very satisfied!
We sampled the pickles, chicken salad, sourdough bread, brisket (OMG!), chicken off & on the bone, turkey, ribs (LOVED the ribs!), potato salad (much improved), coleslaw (perfect), fettuccine (too bland), cheesy potatoes (also, bland and a bit oily), coffee cake (To die for!), and pecan pie (ALMOST as good as the coffee cake;-) For drinks, lemonade and sweet tea. Kudos to the chef(s). The meal was outstanding and the service as amazing as ever!
Each of us paid $15 for EVERYTHING (incl. drinks, dessert, and tip!) VERY reasonable. Also, they do offer acoustic music on most Sundays and, occasionally, other days of the week. They do have a website but it's best to find them on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Bayp...)

I did a quick take out from here on Tuesday. Wow. Best beef brisket EVER. Moist style, sauce on the side. Hot links were perfectly smoked, slightly coarse grind, mildy spiced but very tasty. Also got an assortment of pickles. Can't wait to get back and try other stuff on the menu.
I haven't been to Texas yet - going for the first time in May. I have done lots of research on their style of BBQ, and from what I have read this place seems to be spot-on Texas style. The meat is cooked over oak logs, and much of it is started the night before. Everything - brisket, ribs, turkey, chicken, links - is sold by the pound (most of the meats at $9.95 a pound). White bread (nice touch - crusted with cornmeal). Several sides, a couple of desserts - mostly pies/cobblers. Tall can of Pabst beer for $2. Cheap whiskey, a few other beers, real Mexican Coca Cola.
I'll be back soon.

re: galewskj
I never had the pleasure of dining at Bayport Cookery, though it was on my list. Always sad to see a small unique restaurant go under.
I went here again last night just to try a few more meats. I ordered 2 ribs, 1/2 pound of pulled pork, and one of their specials of the night - 3 smoked chicken wings. The ribs were perfect. Not fall off the the bone tender, but toothesome tender. And incredibly flavorful. The pork was nice and smoky, very tender and moist, with lots of crispy end bits. The wings were a miss. Very large, beautiful color, fall off the bone tender, but strangely dry. They were OK with some sauce, but I'll pass on them next time.
I love how everything is sold by the pound. I love how this joint is trying to stay true to Texas-style BBQ. I love the cheap white whiskey they sell by the shot and serve in in a 2 oz. canning jar. Time to grab a party and go on a weekend night and catch a band and some Q!

re: rp1760
Glad you enjoyed Bayport BBQ. It was sad to see the Bayport Cookery close, especially because I had always hoped to go there. I just never had a date:-( That chef was enticed back into the restaurant world and was at The Kitchen in Stillwater. That restaurant has now closed (I'm not surprised. I never heard very good reviews of the place and it was pricey.)
Now, Shanghai Bistro is moving in. The owner is from Eau Claire and owns one there, in Woodbury, in Hudson, and will, also, be opening one in Lowertown. WOW!
I've eaten at the Woodbury location and it was okay but not great. I've, also, been to the one in Hudson (Thanks to restaurant.com) and, again, good but not great. My friends rave about the sushi, though. I'm not a fan of sushi so I've never tried it. They did have a phenomenal lunch deal for $5.99 but that recently changed. It's now matching their other prices as "spendy". That's according to my 50-something old mom:-)

re: greghoffman
Thank you, all, for supporting Chris and his endeavors! I'm so happy you've enjoyed your meals and agree that the food is delectable:-)
RUN, don't walk for the brisket. Went for lunch yesterday. Can't wait to try some of the other offerings.
Bayport BBQ catered (we picked up the food) our Easter lunch this year and everything was just delicious.
We ordered Beef Brisket, Shredded Pork, Shredded Chicken, and Smoked Hot Link Sausages for the meat dishes. While all were excellent, the brisket is truly exceptional and has a bacon like quality that must be tasted.
For side dishes we had Au Gratin Potato, Baked Beans, Cole Slaw and Chicken Salad. The baked beans were smoky and spicy with large pieces of delicious brisket, best beans I've had. The Au Gratin potatoes were good but I preferred the dine in experience with a baked cheese crust on a previous visit. This may have been a limitation of take out containers. The Chicken Salad was delicious and looked to be made from smoked rotisserie chicken. This is not your deli pasta style chicken salad, it is dense and almost all meat. The cole slaw was pretty standard and a good compliment to BBQ food but nothing special.
Bread was fresh baked and tasty. They also included a couple free delicious Berry Cobblers.
All in all a great experience and an incredible value. I almost want to tell them to raise their prices! <$10 per lb of delicious meats make it tough to justify cooking at home.
Thanks Bayport BBQ.

re: mnwild12
Slow to the party here, but, WOW!
Been there three times in the past two weeks. I've had the brisket each time (once you try it, you'll understand), the pulled chicken, the ribs, and pulled pork. From a pure nirvana standpoint, the brisket is the best bbq I've ever eaten anywhere. I'm no expert and don't mean to imply such. I'm just sayin'. Utterly phenomenal. Moist, deeply smoky, we got some off the lean and some off the fat each time.
The ribs were my second favorite. Meaty, moist, fall-off-the-bone tender and deeply smoky like the brisket (which, duh, it's what they do there...). I love bbq that needs no sauce.
Friends loved the chicken but were non-committal about the pulled pork. Thought it was the weakest of what we tried. It was fine really, just lacked the intense flavor of the rest. The sides we ordered were fine, but don't warrant their own conversation. We had slaw, beans, au gratin potatoes, and a loaf of bread. Had apple crisp and pecan pie for dessert, which, again, oh well. I wouldn't order the desserts again.
And the cheap white whiskey mixed in your lemonade is a wonderful thing.
Best part of the evening for my 15 year old was having the cook who brought out the food say "here you go fellers, think you might like it."
He was right. I'll go back often. It really is that good.

Kat's hair looked fantastic at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, and we like the softly-draped neckline and classic peeptoe pumps—but that hemline could stand to be a few inches longer, no?
Our February cover girl, Katharine McPhee, has come a long way since being named American Idol's fifth season runner-up. She's released three albums, starred opposite Anna Faris in The House Bunny (one of those feel-good comedies we can't help but watch every single time it airs) and established herself as a bona fide TV superstar with a leading role on NBC's Smash. And as her star has risen, Katharine's also stepped up her style game, trading bootcut jeans and super-short minidresses for glamorous gowns by Donna Karan and Dolce & Gabbana. Click through to witness just how dramatically her look has evolved over the past six years.

Am going to cross Pacific on a wooden raft to support a theory that the South Sea islands were peopled from Peru. Will you come? Reply at once.
That is how six brave and inquisitive men came to seek a dangerous path to test a scientific theory. On a primitive raft made of forty-foot balsa logs and named Kon-Tiki in honor of a legendary sun king, Heyerdahl and five companions deliberately risked their lives to show that the ancient Peruvians could have made the 4,300-mile voyage to the Polynesian islands on a similar craft. On every page of this true chronicle from the actual building of the raft through all the dangerous and comic adventures on the sea, to the spectacular crash-landing and the native islanders hula dances each reader will find a wholesome and spellbinding escape from the twenty-first century. Actual film from the expedition is available on an Academy Award-winning documentary.

SATURDAY, Oct. 2 (HealthDay News) --In what might one day help
victims of stroke and other brain injuries, researchers have found
that the two sides of the brain instantaneously 'negotiate' which
hand to use for simple manual tasks.
That means, say the researchers, that before picking up a cup of
coffee or pushing an elevator button, the right and left sides of
the brain -- each of which controls the opposite appendage --
decide which hand is best suited for the impending activity.
"By understanding this process, we hope to be able to develop methods to overcome learned limb disuse," study co-author Richard Ivry, a University of California, Berkeley, professor of psychology and neuroscience, said in a news release.
Ivry and a team of Belgian, American and British colleagues
report the findings in this week's issue of the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The team's observations stem from work with 33 right-handed
volunteers, noting that although 80 percent of people are
right-handed, most are able to use either hand to execute simple
tasks that don't require fine motor skills.
All the participants allowed the posterior parietal cortex
region of their brains to be artificially activated by so-called
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
This brain region is integral in the processing of spatial
relationships and movement planning, the authors noted, and
stimulating the area meant interfering with the nerves that usually
control motor skills.
By monitoring patient movement with a 3-D motion-tracking system
and fingertip sensors, the authors found that after applying TMS to
the left side of the right-handers' brains (which controls the
motor skills of the right side of the body), the participants
favored the use of their left hand over their right.
The authors said that it remains unclear why the brain engages
in such a competitive decision-making process to begin with. But by
doing this, "you're handicapping the right hand in this
competition, and giving the left hand a better chance of winning,"
study author Flavio Oliveira, a Berkeley postdoctoral researcher in
psychology and neuroscience, noted in the journal news release.
This demonstrated that TMS can be effective at brain
manipulation, an achievement that could ultimately be used to treat
patients struggling with motor control.

Banana and Almond Microwave Cake
Are you sure you want to delete this recipe?
This recipe was uploaded by The White Rabbit
This is an homage to our forumite ljbritt50. I was intending to make her recipe for almond honey cake (http://foodchallenges.ca/almond-honey-cake/) but didn't have all the ingredients and had a banana to use up. This is what came out and I must say it was very good. Gluten free and dairy free.
Mix syrup, oil, egg and banana. Combine with almond meal and baking powder. Pour into a greased and dusted (with almond meal) 2 cup tall pyrex measuring jug. Cook at 1000W for 3 minutes in the microwave. Serve with icecream.

japandi is by far the best of the japan portmanteau bands and probably one of the best bands to ever come out of SD imo. japandi shows outside the che have been one of my favorite summer traditions since high school. their live performances are seriously moving, it hurts my heart that they rarely play anymore
seriously listen to this cd, it's one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time.
lanterns are also a really good SD band, excellent live. weatherbox doesn't really cut it for me but i know a lot of people are into them.

Vokab Kompany... 7-piece live hip hop, electronic, funk, rock combo. i am biased but it is good stuff...
every day, every year
it doesn't help that LA is up the road and the laws are very strict...it definitely hurts alot not being able to have many 18+/21+ venues besides HOB...
11/21 - Pearl Jam - Viejas Arena
How in god's name did I miss this thread!? Hahahahahahah.
But seriously, the only good thing coming out of San Diego as of late would be Christmas Island. Them, The Soft Pack, who made the obvious decision to hightail it out of that hell hole the minute they had any marginal success.
As for Dum Dum Girls, they make me miss Grand Ole Party like you wouldn't believe.
All of those bands suck.
Anyways i'm looking at starting a club night once a month called Bridging the Gap...it will be a mixed genre show with everyone playing live...the first show will have an electro band playing live w/ guitars etc...two indie bands...a hip-hop artist w/ live band and possibly another artist...first show looks to be early summer...have too much going on this Wiz/Fashawn show so need to stay focused on that...excited for things though!
11/21 - Pearl Jam - Viejas Arena
Tristeza are a sweet band. Nothing original, just really great at what they do. I prefer them to Album Leaf.
4th and b could be great if someone put some time and money into renovating it. The surrounding area has been overrun by bums though. Are there any old theater style venues in SD like there are in LA?

I know I've told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse.
I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem.
Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: "Are you ready to leave him?" When I denied that I was being abused, she didn't argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn't detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo.
When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name "Nora". She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn't leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to.
And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn't alone. That she just wanted me to be safe.
I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy.
I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do."—Curious Georgiana (via eatfromthetrees)

1.) It's not hard to figure out what to do, there are plenty of resources.
People say you have to get it right, do your research, but … what else are you supposed to research? It's not like people with more pigment in their skin have completely different personalities than those with less, any more than any individual. It's frustrating when I can't even figure out what the heck people are talking about.
Bam. Research step one done for you.
2.) Writing characters of color/minorities is a good thing.
I don't like the notion that fantasy authors are under some kind of obligation to present ethnically diverse worlds. I'm English, and a fair sized part of English history consists of unwashed beardy white people in mead halls. If I'm inspired by my own history and cultural heritage, then that's what I'm damn well going to write about. I'm not writing about some other culture just to appease the people who think there aren't enough black characters in fantasy, or whatever. You want it, you write it. Nothing to do with me.
You're wrong.
3.) Your all White Fantasy Land Didn't Exist in Real Life:
…the rather medieval one has more diversity than real medieval Germany probably had […] In a world with medieval means of transport, it just doesn't seem natural to me to mix dark-skinned people with blue-eyed blondes in one setting. I just try to give the people a colour that fits the place where they live.
You mean like the people from Africa and the Middle east who began to take over Southern Spain, as well as the Jews who were pretty well spread out throughout Europe, the Middle Easterners they would have met on the Crusades, and the incoming Mongol Hordes who spread to the very edges of Eastern Europe before the empire finally collapsed? Don't forget that Turkey is right there, and the silk road would have gone from Song Dynasty China, through India, and ended in Turkey before moving further westwards into places like Germany. Also the attempts at the Franco-Mongol alliance would have been pretty interesting. (That's about the 13th century - arguably smack dab in Middle Ages Europe and definite contact between France/Christian Europe and the Mongolian Empire.)
Unless you're writing everything in the far reaches of Denmark or something, historically speaking, I call bullshit on people who have societies that are only all white ever, because it's just inaccurate. Consider the relative closeness of Northern Africa to Spain, or Turkey to the rest of Europe, the conquests of Alexander the Great, the Crusades, Slavery existing in Europe, including England, the slave trade, imperialism, Pax Mongolica, The Silk Road, Jewish Diaspora, the Islamic Empire vs The Holy Roman Empire, Egypt, Algeria, China's sailing across the world, The Maruyan/Gupta Empires of India, tea trades, Columbus sailing in hopes of finding China, etc, etc, etc.
4.) I mean I just don't believe you anymore. It's unrealistic. Seriously guys.
You'd think I'd just denied the holocaust or something. Get a grip. All I said was that I'm going to write about my own cultural experience and anyone who thinks I should do otherwise for the sake of political correctness can bugger off.
This isn't even about being PC this is just not being wrong about everything.
good lord.
A sea change in transgender rights
The past month or so has been incredible for transgender rights victories, and I want to acknowledge this moment. We're seeing the kind of movement on trans issues that I've dreamed of – our community is finally winning the protections we need. I think this has a lot to do with the ways trans folks have shared our stories and organized for our rights, including at online spaces like Feministing.
On Sunday, Nok Yonlada, who is trans, won a provincial election in Thailand. This means a lot in terms of visibility, to have an out trans woman representing constituents as an elected official. Argentina made trans health care a human right and gave folks the right to legally change their genders without the approval of a judge or doctor. In the US, the The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced they will hear claims of gender identity-based employment discrimination, meaning trans and gender non-conforming folks have employment protections at the national level for the first time. The Department of Justice released national standards to prevent prison rape that include specific provisions to protect trans and gender non-conforming folks. These standards were developed with community input and are an important step in addressing the high rates of sexual violence experienced by incarcerated trans folks.
These victories in the political arena are huge. The trans community is at square one when it comes to winning the rights we need to be able to participate in society without facing massive amounts of discrimination. Winning protections from workplace discrimination means we can actually get jobs. We obviously need to address the high rates of incarceration faced by trans folks, but protections for those behind bars could make a big difference in people's lived realities. These are the first steps towards being full human beings under the law, whose experience of discrimination is valid and who deserve just as much access as everybody else.
The US isn't close to Argentina yet, where they've got this wild idea that health care should be a human right. We need to continue fighting for basic protections, including from discrimination in housing and public accomodations. But ideally this moves us towards the point where we win positive rights, like the right to determine our own genders without having to go through gatekeepers.
I think these wins have a ton to do with trans folks standing up and telling our stories. In the past few years, an increasing number of trans and gender non-conforming writers have popped up online. We've shared our own experiences on trans-focused blogs, broader queer and trans sights, and spaces like Feministing that aren't explicitly organized around LGBT issues. Community groups and individuals have also talked to the press, and insisted on accurate coverage. And, like the rest of the social justice internets, we've used these new tools to take action. While organizing for a trans-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act was unsuccessful, it galvanized the community and created a megaphone for our issues in a way that probably led to the EEOC victory.
I believe this increased visibility has been vital to the wins we're seeing right now. You don't start winning rights just by demanding them. Victories require that your needs are respected, that they're seen as valid and legitimate. Basically, groups of people needed to recognize that trans folks are human beings deserving of the same rights as everyone else. And that didn't happen by accident – it happened because we stood up and demanded it, loudly, over and over again. Every time a trans person tells their story, it has the potential to humanize our whole community. Being out can be dangerous for trans folks, and it's not something I would encourage anyone to do in a way that does not feel safe and supported. But those of us who have been willing and able to share our experiences have gotten to see people's minds change.
These victories have been inspiring to watch. But at the same time, the trans community is still facing heartbreaking violence. In the past month Brandy Martell was shot and killed in Oakland. CeCe McDonald was found guilty for defending herself against a transphobic attack in which someone tragically lost his life. Recent wins don't undermine these tragedies in any way. In fact, it's all that much harder to see the most marginalized in our community facing violence at the same time that we're winning victories. Changes in our laws don't mean people automatically stop hating us. Sometimes increased visibility can mean increased violence. We have to continue working to change people's minds while we also work to change the laws. Trans women of color continue to face the worst transphobic violence. So we have to continue working deliberately to lift up the voices of trans women of color, to make sure the community most impacted can speak for themselves and humanize themselves.
The New York Times' offensive article about Lorena Escalera was a reminder that we can have our identities undermined and attacked even in death. Though the article stood out partially because we've seen less of this sort of offensive coverage lately. When I first joined Feministing a few years ago, it seemed like every trans-related article was about a death, and they all included the wrong pronouns or were offensive in some other way. We've seen a real shift in the way the media talks about trans folks – they're actually starting to do their job and report responsibly and accurately. I think the credit absolutely goes to trans writers and organizers and our allies, who wrote blog posts, tweeted, emailed, and called news outlets whenever these offensive stories came out.
There's a culture shift, at least within the social justice internets, that's happening at the same time as these rights victories. When I first joined Feministing three years ago, the community could be super transphobic, and this was not a rarity for feminist blogs. There were some badass trans folks and allies holding it down in the community, but the transphobic voices got pretty loud too. Since then, attitudes on trans issues have shifted in this space and on other blogs as well. We see less controversies around transphobia within the blogosphere. Instead, folks are getting behind trans issues. I was inspired to see how many people got angry and took action about the NYT Lorena Escalera article. While the paper didn't retract the story, there was a ton of outrage and action take on Facebook and Twitter; Feministing's call to action was one of our most highly trafficked posts this past month. Our post about Argentina's new laws also received a ton of page views, which tells me trans issues have become a focus for our readers.
There's still a ton of work to do to shift the culture as a whole. Hell, lefty communities have a lot of work still to do to be less transphobic. Just because I've seen changes on some blogs doesn't mean they've all become paradises of trans inclusion. But increasing awareness and involvement within social justice communities is the first step. Allies who will take action on trans issues, and who will speak up for trans folks to their friends, are absolutely necessary to influence larger groups of people.
It's partially because there's a growing community who will speak up for trans rights that victories like the EEOC ruling are possible. Policymakers need to be pushed by their constituents to take action on issues. And they need a base of supporters who will stand against those who oppose trans rights. Political change doesn't happen without cultural change. These recent trans wins have a ton to do with culture shift within organizing communities, including the social justice internets.
Similarly, we've got to use these rights victories to continue our culture change work. We need to build off the legal recognition of our humanity, taking this opportunity to increase positive visibility for trans folks.
I feel blessed to be a small part of this moment. I know I'm standing on the shoulders of elders who fought for me before I even knew I was trans. I feel incredibly lucky to be one of a number of trans advocates who are telling our stories at this moment when our laws are starting to shift. Getting to see change within lefty communities has been a gift as well. It sucks that this hard work still needs to be done. And these victories don't at all downplay the tragic realities the trans community still faces. But this is an important moment in the history of trans rights. It's important to acknowledge the hard work that's led us here. It's important to celebrate these victories. And it's vital to use them to build to even more wins.

Topic - Climbable routes in thawing conditions in Cairngorms?
masa-alpin - on 15 Feb 2013
Seeing the forecast of warming up for the next few days, I am looking for routes that are climbable in thawing condition in Cairngorm Norther Corries (and anywhere accessible from Aviemore)... The grade range is from III to VI, and I'd accept if it becomes by just a grade harder due to the condition.
I guess all the ice routes must be out, so it should be rocky mixed routes that don't rely on turfs (I don't want to damage turfs and mountain flora, either).
If I remember, Savage Slit in Lochain was OK. I guess Fingers Ridge in Sneachda should be OK? How about Message?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Also, any suggestion for the routes that come in condition quickly once the temperature drops is also very welcome! (Hopefully it will improve Wednesday onward.)
Thanks, Masa
(The time of our long-waited week-long climbing trip is finally come, and the conditions are now deteriorating - how Scottish...)

We explore how firms' operations in Offshore Financial Centers (OFCs), either through direct registration or through subsidiaries, affect the quality of financial reporting. Using a large unique sample of firm-year observations from 18 OFCs and from 15 countries with subsidiaries in OFCs, this study documents a negative association between financial reporting quality and firms' offshore operations. We also find that as the offshore characteristics become more prevalent, firms are more likely to manage earnings through both accruals and real activities. Furthermore, we provide evidence that U.S. firms with OFC subsidiaries exhibit poorer financial reporting quality than U.S. firms with solely domestic operations while U.S. firms with non-OFC foreign subsidiaries do not. Thus, the assessment of a firm's institutional environment must encompass the registration status of its subsidiaries as well as its own.

MIAMI (AP) — A Haitian-operated airline has abruptly suspended flights between Miami and Haiti's capital.
The suspension of flights Thursday stranded Haiti Aviation passengers in Miami and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The Miami Herald reports (http://hrld.us/1l3RK9S ) that the company leasing a 150-seat aircraft and six crew members to Haiti Aviation for thrice-weekly flights informed the airline Wednesday that it no longer would provide the plane and crew amid a financial dispute.
Haiti Aviation founder Charles Voigt says his airline has had trouble getting reimbursed by credit card companies. He says he regrets failing to notify passengers sooner about the suspension of flights.
Voigt says he's working on reviving the airline and getting security deposits back to repay cash customers. Credit card customers were advised to contact their credit card companies for a full refund.

Cohen launched his Stamford-headquartered hedge fund in 1992 with only $25 million. Today the fund has $14 billion assets under management and employees around 900 people globally.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Cohen came into prominence as a powerful Wall Street trader for his grand slam returns.
He's been in the spotlight for a different reason.
Late last year, he was identified as "Portfolio Manager A" in the latest insider trading case against former CR Intrinsic (a subsidiary of SAC) portfolio manager Mathew Martoma. The New York Times recently reported that Cohen and others at the firm also received subpoenas to testify before a grand jury in the case.
It's well-known that Cohen is the ultimate target of the government in their crackdown on insider trading.
While he has been implicated in the latest insider trading case, it's important to keep in mind that he has not been charged with any wrongdoing. In fact, he may never be charged.
He's maintained that he acted appropriately.
Now let's get to know Cohen better.

Giving guys money?
I wonder when is it ok for guys to ask a girl for money? and at what point should a girl worry about being used? Times are hard right now and everybody needs help. I just broke up with this guy because he asked me for gas money two weeks in a row. He says he wasn't trying to use but that they cut hours and he just needs help right now. I don't know if I believed that since I paid for dinner and he tells me he doesn't have time for a girlfriend.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Ok, well I had a friend a while back who would ask girls for money no problem, he wasn't good at holding down a job as quick as he didn't get along with someone he quit... He just got out of jail and now his "girlfriend" is going to put him on her CELL PHONE PLAN... He's done this before and has very little intention of ever paying back. Now, your situation... This guy quite possibly could be a user. It's fairly likely it is... many people say oh they cut my hours blah blah but even though things are tight and we're in a recession there are still plenty of places hiring! Coulda, shoulda, would have whatever... If you were going out with him for a while and you know he's usually good about money eventually relationships become a compromise so sometimes maybe you'll buy dinner and sometimes he'll buy etc. If you go on a long road trip maybe you fill one tank and he'll fill the other... The key word is a compromise... if you're giving all the money then its not a compromise... It's likely you did the right thing by breakin it off with this guy... especially if you guys are newly in a relationship because you won't know what his spending habits are, or even if that money is going to gas... Traditionally guys buy dinner and pay pretty much for most things in a relationship, at least for the start. obviously times have changed and are still changing so its up to you to know how much you're willing to give. generally 50% from each party is the norm... since it seems like you've been giving 100% you may wanna reconsider this guy Hope this helps!Good Luck----Nick-----
What Guys Said 8
That sounds pretty suspect to me, especially the fact that it's something so basic as gas money. I would be very careful about lending this man any more of your hard-earned money.
I wouldn't ask for money unless knew the person for a least year...But like you pointed out times are hard right now I don't think asking for gas money is asking to much he can't help if his hours got cut..Maybe he asked everyone else and they can't afford too?
it's never okey for guys to ask girls for moneyi mean big ammounts
tell ur faggity boyfriend to get another job!
it's not ok to ask girl for money
Maybe if you were close friends, and certainly not that often. He sounds like a using-ass douche bag to me. The guy can't even look out for his own finances- enough to pay for gas and food?! I can maybe see sharing some expenses if things got serious- but gas money?! REALLY?!
Continuing on Shlei3 answer there, I must say, if he shows some effort to sort of paying you back, maybe by washing your dishes, giving you more back rub etc., then, there is a chance that he is genuinely in a pinch. If he is not doing any extra effort then I would lean towards thinking that he is trying to mooch off of you.
Can I have a dollar? The snack machine just got a refill on Doritos, the Nacho Cheese flavor...not the cool ranch flavor. - j
What Girls Said 6
Here's the way I see it, if someone wants me to lend them out money I would have some criteria before doing so;-If I have known them long and know that they will pay me back-If they they are good at paying me back even in another form (i.e. making dinner)Essentially, I give people a chance to prove they are worth lending out money too. Yes times are tough but that means you have to look out for yourself above others. If this guy let you pay for dinner and gas without repaying you back in one form or another than it's clear he's not worth it. I don't think this particular guy is worth it and I think you made the right move.
I think it depends on how long you've been in the relationship and how close the two of you are. I wouldn't have a problem helping out the person I loved, but if it was clear that he was just mooching (doesn't have a job, makes no effort to make ends meet on is own) I would let him go. You can usually tell the difference between someone having a hard time and someone who is just looking for a hand out. Good luck.
If you are in a relationship for awhile it is okay to borrow money from the other person in reasonable amounts. If you are just dating, it isn't. Gas money could be okay if the other person is doing all the driving and it is only a couple of bucks, not a full tank. If he doesn't want you as his girlfriend he doesn't have any business asking you for money, point blank. If his hours got cut back he should have plenty of extra time for a girlfriend, thus he is a bullsh*tter. I refuse to pull anyone's weight or expect anyone to pull mine. Some people are just freeloaders though. He sounds like one of them. In the words of my 85 year old Italian grandmother, Good riddens to bad rubbish!
I know you meant well. But he never had the intention of helping you when you needed itJust from the way that it is written, it seems as if he does not know you well enough to gain your trust. It is like being on a probation period for thirty days... Although we are in recession, the thought of him asking over and over makes me wonder if he had any dignity. He is so not serious. How does he figure that he can receive money from you in desperation? Then in the next moment, he doesn't have time for a girl friend. He is a user .
I'd say at least a year and it'd have to be a pretty serious relationship.Why is he asking you anyways? Especially twice in a row? Can't he ask a friend or relative? Even if he isn't there just for the money, he still shouldn't be asking for it. It sounds weird to me. I have never had a guy ask me for money.
It depends on ow long you've known him and if he'll pay you back!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I doubt the alliance would use a WMD. The radiation released into Gnomeregan to kill the toggs was from the reactors in the tunnels and mines below the city. I think it more likely that they would drop some bombs onto Undercity, damaging it, but not destroying it.
I think it more likely, as this article suggests, that the Horde will ally with the Blackrock clan, and will then invade(my guess would be anyway) Khaz Modan, in order to connect the territories controlled by the Horde in the northern Eastern Kingdoms. That would, most likely, lead to a full unification of the Dwarves and a new war, likely across Badlands/Loch Modan/Arathi Highlands. It would reshape the power of the entire continent.
Were I king Wrynn, I would consolidate on the EK, hunker down behind my defenses(hey, Ironforge is surrounded by a natural, mountainous fortress, the campaign needed to take it would need to be HUGE), then move over to Kalimdor, retake Ashenvale, Darkshore, Felwood, Stonalton and Desolace. That would apply the same pressure on the Horde that was just applied to the Alliance, and result in the ongoing stalemate between the factions.
However, in agreement with you, I do think Sylvanas's days as leader of the Forsaken are numbered. Either Garrosh will kill her(more likely I think Bane will do it, not Garrosh, but maybe under Garrosh's orders) or she will be banished, and will take a good portion of her loyalists in the Forsaken and(my bet) take over Harthenglen, as the new Lich Queen. Although, I wouldn't count her missing sister reappearing and either talking her down, or killing her(my money is on killing her, Sylvanas's sister is supposed to be a VERY powerful mage, the equal to Khadgar's power), either way, its time for her to start coming back into the fold.
Also, kinda weird I know, but I found something...weird while going around in Feralas, a random gray book drop...written by Vholkahn, a Warlock of "the True Horde," and that he was actually a person of high station among the "False Horde." It would be my bet that the Shadow Council will play a Big role in MoP.
Another person making an appearance, I think, will be Mendiv. He has been in hiding somewhere, most people thought in a hidden room in Kharazhan, but maybe he fled to Pandaria, where he could live in peace, among beings that might be more sympathetic to his ... unusual plight. A Gaurdian of his power, near unbridled, could most certainly add a new twist to the game, one most needed.

Arjunas: have you gone on to killing people for fun and profit?
That's the REAL problem with this law. It presumes that violent video games are somehow more harmful than movies, books, or music. The justices pointed out how utterly biased and poor this law is at several points. The violence has to be the depiction of "gratuitous violence against a human being". They asked what the difference between gratuitous and normal violence was. Permanent damage was the best the lawyer for Californis could come up with. "so I I decapitate someone but they come back to life, it isn't permanent so it is fine? What if I maim a dwarf. Is that okay since they aren't human?"
Guess no one can PVP against Humans now in WoW. Though killing everyone else is fine. I guess California thought EMFH wasn't OP enough...

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/222280This one of the most important and contentious topics in the franchise industry over the past 20 years.
Many, but not all, franchises grant an "exclusive territory" to their franchisees as part of the rights given under the franchise agreement contract. The purpose of doing this is to assure the franchisee that they will have some area in which they can market and operate under the franchise brand without any competition from another franchisee or even the franchise company itself. This territory is normally described in geographical terms (area code, street or waterway boundaries) though it can also be described as a specified radius originating from the actual location of your unit.
Regardless of the method used to define the boundaries of the territory, the message implied by the territory grant is always the same. In a nutshell, you're being told that this area is large enough and has a sufficient number of potential customers to enable you to build a successful business for yourself. This is where the conflict can come into play.
As the franchise system continues to grow, the franchisor will often desire to increase their number of distribution points by adding as many additional units into the market as possible. Sometimes these units can cannibalize the sales of existing units, temporarily or permanently. That "encroachment" can cause a lot of ill will among the existing franchisees.
Whenever you are evaluating any franchise, be sure to ask the existing operators whether they feel that the territory structure is fair and reasonable, and ask them as well as the franchisor whether there is an appeal process in place to allow for the resolution of any new unit impact conflicts without having to resort to litigation. These types of steps can help ensure that you are selecting a franchise with a strong sensitivity to these sorts of potential issues.
Jeff Elgin has almost 20 years of experience franchising, both as a franchisee and a senior franchise company executive. He's currently the CEO of FranChoice Inc., a company that provides free consulting to consumers looking for a franchise that best meets their needs.

Rob Biertempfel's post on Pittsburgh Penguins | Latest updates on Sulia
#Pirates OF Starling Marte called his 1st-pitch HR tonite. Well, sort of. "Before the game, I told somebody in the dugout that if (LHP Dallas Keuchel) threw a fastball over the middle, I'd take a hack at it," Marte said. "That's exactly what I did." The ball flew over the LF wall. Keuchel was stunned: "I figured he would take a strike just to see what I got. I never thought he would hit a home run on the first pitch of the game. That's a career first for me."

Three suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun, forced their way into the home of an elderly couple after knocking on their door this morning. The suspects stole property from the victims and fled in a vehicle. Neither victim was injured.
On Thursday, January 23, 2014, at about 10:42 a.m., our 24-hour dispatch center received a 9-1-1 call from a resident in the 400 block of Palo Alto Avenue reporting that an armed home-invasion robbery had just occurred, and that the suspects had fled the scene in a vehicle. Officers responded to the area immediately, but were unable to find any suspects.
The investigation revealed that the victims, both of whom are in their eighties, were at home alone when their doorbell rang. The female resident opened the door and was immediately confronted by three suspects she did not recognize. One of them was armed with a handgun. The suspects forced their way into the home, and made the two victims lay face-down on the floor. The suspects took wallets, cash, miscellaneous personal property, and an unloaded handgun from the residence. The victims last saw the vehicle headed eastbound on Palo Alto Avenue. Neither victim was injured.
The victims described the suspects as black male adults in their twenties. All of the suspects were wearing dark hooded sweatshirts, with the hoods over their heads. One of the suspects was armed with a small black handgun. It is possible that the victims may be able to meet with a police sketch artist; if any sketches are produced, they will be released as soon as they become available. The victims described the suspect vehicle as a newer, large "boxy-looking" beige or white four-door sedan.
Detectives are actively working on the investigation. There have been no similar crimes recently in Palo Alto. Anyone who may have information about this case is asked to call our 24-hour dispatch center at 650-329-2413. Anonymous tips can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or sent via text message or voice mail to 650-383-8984.

Nope, that's all you need.
Whether or not your PC PSU can handle it depends on how many LEDs you're using and the PSU itself. Figure at least 20mA per junction so at least 60mA per RGB LED--although you may be able to drive them at higher current; check the datasheet--times however many LEDs you plan to use.
You definitely want to use a 5V supply; a 12V supply will have you dumping an additional 7W straight to heat via the current limiting resistors for every amp your LEDs consume. So if you have 100 RGB LEDs at 20mA per color, you'll be drawing 6A. At a 5V supply that's 30W, with say (3.4+3.4+2)V * 20mA * 100 LEDs = 17.6W consumed by the LEDs, and 12.4W by the current limiting resistors. At a 12V supply, LED current is the same (6A), so you'll be consuming 72W. The LEDs are still only using 17.6W of that, so the current limiting resistors eat up the remaining 54.4W.
Check the specs of the PSU you want to use. Newer models have shifted more of their capacity to the 12V line since newer motherboards and video cards have shifted to deriving their low voltage/high current power from the 12V bus via switching converters rather than the 5V or 3.3V lines. If you're hoping to piggy back onto your computer's PSU, you'll also have to figure how much of its capacity you're currently using. The quality of the PSU also becomes important, since lower quality units will get flaky when loaded near their ratings.
I'd recommend getting a separate 5V supply for any sizable array, though. You can find switching supplies in a variety of form factors and capacities at decent prices at most electronic surplus sites. This also gives you the added ability of easily divorcing the lighting system from the PC if you choose to do so at any point.

Wallace McCamant (September 22, 1867 – December 17, 1944) was an American jurist in Oregon. A Pennsylvania native, he served as the 46th Associate Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court from 1917 to 1918. Later he served briefly on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. As a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1920, McCamant surprised the GOP leadership by placing the name of Calvin Coolidge into nomination for Vice-President.[1] Coolidge would become the 30th President of the United States upon the death of President Harding in 1923.
Early life[edit]
Born on September 22, 1867 in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, McCamant was the son of Thomas McCamant and the former Delia Robbins.[2] He grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and attended the public schools in that town.[2] Then in 1888 he graduated from Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania with a Ph.B. degree.[3]
Wallace then read law and in 1890 was admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania and subsequently moved to Oregon.[2] He then entered private practice in Portland, Oregon.[3] Next, in 1893 he married Katherine S. Davis, and they would have two sons.[2] Then in 1904 McCamant became a Master in Chancery for the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, serving until 1917.[3] In 1909, he was president of the Portland chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.[4] During his private legal career McCamant represented a client before the United States Supreme Court in Ross v. State of Oregon, 227 US 150 (1913).
Judicial career[edit]
Then on January 8, 1917, McCamant was appointed to the Oregon Supreme Court to replace Robert Eakin by Oregon Governor James Withycombe.[5][6] Eighteen months later, McCamant resigned on June 4, 1918 and was replaced by Charles A. Johns.[5]
In May 1925, President Coolidge appointed McCamant to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals while the Senate was in recess. However, when the Senate reconvened he was not confirmed and his time on the federal bench ended in May 1926. The lack of confirmation is partly due to McCamant's support for Coolidge over Senator Hiram Johnson at the 1920 Republican Convention to select the Vice-Presidential nominee from the party. McCamant had been the delegate who first moved for the nomination of Coolidge after the Republican leadership had moved for and seconded Senator Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin, which resulted in Coolidge's ascension to the Presidency upon Warren G. Harding's death.[7] With the Senate not confirming McCamant, he became the first recess appointment to a United States Court of Appeals not to be confirmed by the United States Senate.[8]
Later life[edit]
