Fullerton, CA (Sports Network) - Kwame Vaughn paced four teammates in double figures with 17 points as the Cal State Fullerton Titans held off the Idaho State Bengals, 66-53, in a non-conference tilt at Titan Gym.
Vaughn shot 6-of-11 from the floor and added six rebounds and four assists for Fullerton (4-5), which snapped a three-game losing streak. Sammy Yeager scored 14 points, and D.J. Seeley and Alex Harris netted 11 points apiece for the home team.
Tomas Sanchez tallied 17 points, five boards, three assists, and three steals for Idaho State (1-7), while Andre Hatchett and Melvin Morgan scored 11 and 10, respectively.
Neither team shot greater than 35 percent from the floor in the first half, but Fullerton was able to take a 27-20 lead at the break by forcing six turnovers in the first 20 minutes while committing just one itself.
The Titans held on to the advantage throughout the second half, leading by as many as 23 points.
Fullerton was able to overcome a poor night from beyond the three-point arc (6-of-22) by making 14-of-15 from the foul line.

I had Deep FX on face, neck and chest. 3 months after, I still have hyperpigmentation rectangle laser marks that look like scales. The chest is discolored. I am not of Middle Eastern or Asian heritage. The topicals prescribed by the MD caused skin to turn red (no discomfort) so I stopped those. What are my options to address the discoloration?
Treatments for Hyperpigmentation After Deep FX?
Doctor Answers (2)
Treatment of hyperpigmentation with Melarase - Los Angeles
I have seen patients from other clinics present with hyperpigmentation and would begin early treatment with Melarase and Melapads. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Bleach Cream and some Time
Hello, I have seen this happen with the Deep FX laser. It is dependent on the strength used. The setting may have been perfect, and this could still occur. Topical belaching creams are useful. If that is what you already got, I would suggest cutting back on the frequency you are doing it. For example, if you put it on every night, then do it 3 times a week instead. That will minimize the redness and irritation. I have found that in every instance where we have seen this, the pigmentation has resolved, but it does take time. Keep at it!

WASHINGTON—A federal judge ordered the Obama administration to decide within 30 days whether to grant a set of five permits for deep-water drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico, saying the administration's inaction on the requests is "increasingly inexcusable."
The order, by Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, ratcheted up the pressure on the administration, which last fall lifted a months-long moratorium on deepwater drilling but has yet to grant any permits to drill new oil or natural-gas wells at depths greater than 500 feet.
The ruling came on the same day a consortium of large oil companies said it had fulfilled a key demand of the administration: that the industry set up a response system to quickly shut a gushing underwater well, minimizing the risk of another accident like the one last April at a BP, +0.41% PLC well in the Gulf of Mexico.
A new report by a commission investigating the BP spill, also issued Thursday, highlighted the need to prevent such accidents in the first place. The report, by the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, said last year's accident—which killed 11 workers and was the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history—was caused mainly by management failures and poor judgment, not by inadequate technology.
Thursday's developments illustrate the clashing demands being made on the administration in the aftermath of the spill. As gasoline prices have risen, oil industry executives and their allies in Congress have called for speedier consideration of new offshore drilling. Environmentalists and their Capitol Hill allies say the spill commission's findings show the need to move cautiously until the industry and federal regulators demonstrate they have addressed the root causes of the BP disaster.
The ruling by Judge Feldman, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, came in response to a lawsuit filed against Interior Secretary Ken Salazar by London-based XOM, -1.05% PLC. It centers on five permit applications in which the company holds a stake and which have been pending from four to nine months. Ruling for Ensco, Judge Feldman said Mr. Salazar's agency is required to act in an "expeditious" manner.
"The plaintiff's operations in the Gulf of Mexico are threatened with endless disability," Judge Feldman wrote. "As the first anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster draws near, any reason that would have justified delays has, under a rule of reason, expired."
A spokeswoman for the Interior Department had no immediate comment on the judge's ruling. Representatives of Ensco didn't respond to requests for comment.
Rep. Doc Hastings (R., Wash.), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, applauded the decision. "The president's de facto moratorium is destroying American jobs, hurting our economy and forcing businesses to move overseas," he said. "With gasoline prices rising, the administration needs to resume American offshore energy production now."
former chief of the U.S. Justice Department's environmental crimes section, predicted the administration would appeal the judge's ruling.
"Until drilling companies demonstrate that they can comply with the new regulations, it would be irresponsible for the Interior Department to issue new permits," Mr. Uhlmann said. "Judge Feldman may be right that the Interior Department cannot withhold permit decisions indefinitely, but his ruling today blithely disregards safety concerns about deepwater drilling, as if the Gulf oil spill never happened."
Officials at the Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement have said they are unwilling to grant drilling permits until it is clear that a spill can be contained.
Hoping to assuage those concerns, the industry-led consortium, Marine Well Containment Co., said it was now ready to quickly deploy a device that can capture as many as 60,000 barrels a day of oil gushing from an underwater well. That is approximately the amount the government estimates was leaking from the BP well.
A spokeswoman for Ocean Energy said in a statement that the consortium had made "significant progress" in addressing well-control issues raised by the oil spill.
The new spill commission report, a more detailed version of one issued by the panel last month, faulted BP for decisions that raised the risks of the well and for its failure to communicate on critical issues with subcontractors HAL, -0.41% and RIG, -2.04%
In a statement, BP said it had "made every effort" to understand the cause of the blowout and prevent a similar incident in the future. It said it had made "significant management and organizational changes to further enhance the company's safety and risk management processes going forward."

SoundNine for BB10 - Soundcloud client need testers
I have just pushed version 1.0.0 to App World which fixes player pausing when device goes into standby. The update also includes sharing tracks, list improvements and media player improvements, and bug fixes. It will probably take a couple days to get approved.
SoundNine for BB10 is now available in AppWorld!
Download - https://appworld.blackberry.com/webs...96352/?lang=en
Hey guys,
I'm from Domisy Dev, I brought SoundNine to the Playbook app ecosystem. SoundNine is a (currently beta) SoundCloud client, letting you browse tracks, listen to them, view/follow users, favorite tracks, view comments etc. Once it leaves beta status, will also have recording capability, to send sound recordings on your device straight to your soundcloud account.
Since seeing that the app was somewhat a success on the Playbook, I've been hard at work on a port for BB10. Ill have you know that as much as they say that porting to BB10 is a breeze, I had to literally build this version from the ground up. Having said that, I really like how it has turned out, I can tell BB10 is gonna be a powerful and fantastic platform.
Enough talk. I'm here for some pre-beta testers.
Within a few days I will have a build that I can confidently release to a few people who can test the app for me on their BB10 alpha, since I don't have one (though I would kill to get one).
If you would like to participate, simply email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "SoundNine BB10 Tester" and I will get you set up with a .bar file to load on your device.
All I ask in return is some feedback, however lengthy it may be. Could just be a "great app, good work" or "this sucks" type of response. Just want something.
If you are inclined to provide me with a more detailed response, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the UI, app navigation, all that goodness.
That is all. I hope to hear from some of you.
Here are some screencaps

I would recommend to display a downloaded tab and the ability to launch then within the app or to redirect to native music player
Only other request is for reposting which you have said is coming, good stuff
Posted via CB10Samsungs + various Nokia's > 8520 > 8900 > 9900 + Playbook
Im still trying to figure out how to download it. Im streaming it right now and works perfect id love to download a few of them.
Oh you could also add filters as well if possible. I like to get those mix tap trax that are like 88:min long no 8:min.
You should put a post in the BB Hub - App Section with images and info and start a thread there

SoundNine is great! I'm using it with my car stereo over Bluetooth, and the sound quality is excellent.
I have one feature request which is to display the artist and song title on the media control that pops up when you adjust the volume while playing audio. This info is also sent out to Bluetooth A2DP receivers, which is handy in the car so I can see what's playing.

what id like to see it when you start to download a song that you can see it downloading progress.
At the moment unless im doing something wrong i haven't figured out yet what the correct steps are.
Long press context menu appears and then press download then it says download now may take a few min.... then what happens not sure
once my screen jump to the download section and if i remember correctly ask where i want the file to go. haven't been able to reduplicate this.
App is amazing though. how the Q10 version coming along just about to buy mine
- 05-03-2013, 03:32 PM Thread Author #20
As for Q10 support, I have good news and bad news. I will add Q10 support, have no doubt. However, it will likely take some time. In its current state, the Z10 version cannot be made to adapt to multiple screen sizes. So what I have decided is to rewrite the app using native Cascades (right now it is AIR). This will mean not only a much smoother, faster Soundcloud experience, but will also make it much easier to adapt to different screen sizes.
Of course rewriting the app will not be a quick process. I really want to make it a fantastic native app worthy of "Built for Blackberry" status, and I believe Cascades will allow this.
So, Q10 support won't come for a while. I will make sure to post updates as progress is made. For now, the current Z10 version will have to suffice.
Sorry bud, glad you're liking the app though
Posted via CB10Domisy Dev - Reddit in Motion, SoundNine and others
All good i like the work you have done with it though and to be honest the only way i knew it was built in something other than Cascades was becasue of the pull down top menu. you have to pull down to make it go back up.
And i total understand the rewrite on the app. I have much simple cascades apps and still haven't got around to converting them to Q10 yet; will work on them while at BB Live.

How is the update for the Q10 going? Havent bought my Q10 yet, but already looking for apps I will download when I get it
Edit: I see in the app store you have added Q10 as one of the supported devices.. Would be cool to see some screenshots of it on the Q10 as well.

Pb To Pass Null To A Function
I have a dll function like :

And want to pass a Null pointer for pInt1 and pInt2 pointer like :
Dim MyTabInt(16) as integer
Dim MyTabByte(8) as integer
call MyFunc(0xFF, ??? , ??? , MyTabInt(0), MyTabByte(0), 0, 0)
What syntax can I use :
I tried to pass 0 without success. (my pointeur have a value when I debug my dll)
And Null is avoid by the VB compiler.
Can someone give me the correct syntax.
Thanks in advance,
Pass Null To API Function
M$ tip
Often, depending on the API function, you'll want to pass a Null
value (0&) in one of the arguments. Unfortunately, depending on
the function's declaration, Visual Basic may generate an error
when you try to do so. For instance, consider the following API
declaration copied directly from the API Viewer:
Public Declare Function ScrollWindowEx Lib _
"user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal dx As Long, _
ByVal dy As Long, lprcScroll As RECT, _
lprcClip As RECT, ByVal hrgnUpdate As Long, _
lprcUpdate As RECT, ByVal fuScroll As Long) As Long
As you can see, this function takes several RECT structures that
define the area Windows should scroll. However, when you pass in
null for most of these arguments, Windows will define these areas
for you, provided it knows to which window to apply them. As a
result, the following statement is valid:
ScrollWindowEx m_hWnd, 0, 5, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&, 0&, ByVal 0&, _
SW_SCROLLCHILDREN Or SW_INVALIDATE
Unfortunately, as is, VB generates an error if you try this with the
previous declaration. To allow the function to accept Null values,
you'll need to adjust each argument's data types from RECT to Any, like so:
Public Declare Function ScrollWindowEx Lib _
"user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal dx As _
Long, ByVal dy As Long, lprcScroll As Any, _
lprcClip As Any, ByVal hrgnUpdate As Long, _
lprcUpdate As Any, ByVal fuScroll As Long) As Long
With this declaration in place, the Null values will work like a charm.

How To Pass A Pointer To A NULL For C Library?
I am having trouble figuring out how to pass a NULL value to a C DLL from VB.
The call in C is as such...
StartMsg(ChannelId, PASS_TYPE, &Msg1, &Msg2, NULL, &Filter1)
In VB I declare and call it as such...
Public Declare Functio StartMsg Lib "blah.dll" ( _
ByVal Channel as Long, _
ByVal Filter as Long, _
pMsg1 as Msg, _
pMsg2 as Msg, _
pMsg3 as Msg, _
pFilt as long) as Long
Status = StartMsg(ChannelId, PASS_TYPE, Msg1, Msg2, vbNull, Filter1)
The vbNull is where I want to pass a NULL like in the C example. It throws a ByRef error. The C routine requires a pointer to a NULL value. I've tried creating my own MyNull and setting it to NULL, and passing that, to no avail.
Can't Pass NULL Instead Of Type As Byval
I am trying to call the RedrawWindow function like this:

I am having so much fun with this date datatype in SQL and VB.
I am trying to update a date column defined as smalldatetime and I am using a dtpicker to choose the date. I am using:
Set PerAcreRs = PerAcreConn.Execute("Update collection set collectionRddno = '" + txtColRddNo.Text + "', collectionamount = " + FormatCurrency(txtColAmount.Text, 2, vbTrue, vbFalse, vbFalse) + ", collectionstaffname = '" & _
txtStaffName.Text + "', collectiondate = " + Format(dtCol_CollectionDate.Value, "mm/dd/yyyy") + ", collectiontadmappg = '" + txtColTadMapPg.Text + "', collectionmapscopg = '" + txtMapscoPg.Text + "', collectioncheckdate =" & _
Format(dtColDateOnCheck.Value, "mm/dd/yyyy") + ", collectionreimbcheckno ='" + txtColReimbAdd_CheckNo.Text + "', collectioncomments ='" + txtColComments + "', CollectionDevTaxId_FK = '" + ColDevTaxId + "', CollectionLineNo_FK ='" & _
cmbColLineInfo.Text + "', CollectionLineSwrFrom_FK = '" + cmbColSwrStnFrom.Text + "', CollectionLineSwrTo = '" + cmbSwrStnTo.Text + "' where collectionrddno ='" + mshColSearch.Text + "'")
as my update statement. For some reason, all the dates come across as "1900-01-01 00:00:00".
I don't want to change the datatype because then I have to go and change lot of other code based on the date datatype.
I have been looking at this for hours trying different things but not been successful. I need another set of eyes for help.
Thanks and appreciate all your help,

Date Datatype And SQL Server
I need your help in troubleshooting an error that I have been getting recently. I am storing dates into a sqlserver smalldatetime column and it is being stored as "2002-02-02 00:00:00" values.
On the VB form, I am using a dtpicker with dateformat of "short date" and before I insert the date, I format the date to as a "mm/dd/yyyy" format using format function of VB.
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionRDDNo") = txtColRddNo.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionAmount") = CCur(txtColAmount.Text)
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionStaffName") = txtStaffName.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionDate") = CDate(Format(dtCol_CollectionDate.Value, "mm/dd/yyyy"))
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionTadMapPg") = txtColTadMapPg.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionMapscoPg") = txtMapscoPg.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionCheckDate") = CDate(Format(dtColDateOnCheck.Value, "mm/dd/yyyy"))
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionReimbCheckNo") = txtColReimbAdd_CheckNo.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionDevTaxId_FK") = DeveloperIdInfo
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionComments") = txtColComments.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionLineNo_FK") = cmbColLineInfo.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionLineSwrFrom_FK") = cmbColSwrStnFrom.Text
PerAcreRs.Fields("CollectionLineSwrTo") = cmbSwrStnTo.Text
Once stored, I would like to retrieve data in the table based on this date field. So I do a "> = and < =" as shown below:
Set PerAcreRs = PerAcreConn.Execute("Select * from collection where CollectionLineNo_FK = '" + cmbColLineNoSearch.Text & _
"' and CollectionLineSwrFrom_FK = '" + cmbSwrStnFromSearch.Text + "' and CollectionLineSwrTo ='" + cmbSwrStnToSearch.Text & _
"' and CollectionReimbCheckNo ='" + txtColCheckNoSearch.Text + "' and CollectionDate >= " + dtColSearchDateFrom.Value + " and CollectionDate <= " + dtColSearchDateTo.Value)
When I query the SQL Server using query analyzer the date is shown as "2002-02-02 00:00:00" and I am trying to do a comparison that is not going to match.
Do you know of any ways to get around this problem? Thanks and appreciate all your help,

Date Datatype Problem
I am retrieving a recordset from my database where the values are date datatypes and are NULL. I am using the is null function as follows:

URGENT: - How Do I Pass Null To A Structure Argument ?

Date String To Oracle Datatype?
I have variable that holds a date string looking like this: '05312002140059'
[The format is read as: 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss']. I need to execute a stored procedure
in Oracle through VB. The date string comes from a tab delimited text file, which is
read into a string variable in VB. From there, I want to assign the value in the
string varible to the Command object's parameters. The error that I'm getting is
that the string's datatype is mismatched or invalid with the stored procedure's
data type. What am I doing wrong?!
Unix Timestamp To Sql Date Datatype
i have a field in my mysql that is of int datatype and contains the unix timestamp how can i convert this and save it back to the database in a datetime field.
Searching With DATE/time Datatype
I have a programme which search for records for an Access database through Ado.Recordset object. I open the record using this sql
'con is the connection which is opened and active now
'and say mDOB=3/4/2003 3rd april
rs.open("Select * from Students where DOB = #" & mDOB & "#",con
the above line opens the recordset with no records but in my table I have records for this date. when i give this command
msgbox mDOB
this displays the date correctly --> 3/4/2003
msgbox format(mDOB,"dd mmm yyyy") --> 3 Apr 2003
I think my sql is converting the date into 4/3/2003 format when it search for database (may be not!!!)
does anybody else faced problem like this?, did u find any solution? or is there any other solution for this problem (may be any SET statements at the beginning!!!)
I really tried my line in many different ways
rs.open("Select * from Students where DOB = #" & format(mDOB,"mm/dd/yyyy") & "#",con
'this gave me the result correctly. but I am not sure about this solution is correct or not.
I am looking forward for some solutions please...
Date Time Picker Control: How Do Set The Displayed Date To Null?
I have a front end database form with date fields using the MS dtp control. The fields are unbound, but populated using a data class. The problem is that on many occasions the date field is Null, ie no data available. On display the dtp control always defaults to a set date, usually today (this is a property function of the control). What I can't seem to do is to display no date, or to delete the date displayed. Any thoughts would be very gratefully recieved. API perhaps?
I'm trying very hard not to have to write an Active-X control based on the dtp (mainly because of multilingual support and different localisation issues regarding dd/mm/yyyy (used by 90% of the world's population, and mm/dd/yyy - used by the remaining 10% in the US - sorry just had to get that jibe in for those of us who despair at having to go in to custom formatting in Excel simply to get dd/mm/yy )
Many thanks

Creating A Vb Datatype To Represent Cobol Datatype
I'm rewriting a COBOL program to a VB program at the moment. I haven't found a tool to do the conversion for me, so I have to go at this by typing line by line for now.
Currently, I'm trying to come up with a routine that does the mentioned task. Create a Declaration system in VB that describes a data layout of records and variables along with their datatypes in the COBOL program.
It's easy to represent a variable of COBOL string datatype ..We use the VB String datatype..so PIC X(5) could be STRING * 5 in VB
I guess I could use the Double datatype, When representing variables in COBOL like PIC 9(3) or S9(6)V999, etc.
And then we have to worry about "redefining" a variable with includes a combination of COBOL variable types. A routine that represents the REDEFINE command in COBOL.
I guess I have to think about it for a while. I could use any suggestions.
NULL Date?
Can anyone tell me why the Date function in the expression for DateBox.DefaultValue is returning NULL?
Option Compare Database

place_holder.Value = x_Count
DateBox.DefaultValue = IIf(WeekDay(Date, 1) = 2, Date - place_holder.Value, Date - place_holder.Value)
End Sub
Date Value Null
how do i make a date value null?
Null Date
I have a VB app which uses an Access db. On a form there are several date fields which the user can enter. No fields are required; there can be a valid date or no entry at all. In the db, all the date fields are defined as "Required = No". However, if there currently is a date value in the field and it needs to be removed (a blank field), I get a "data type conversion error". I realize I'm getting the error because I'm trying to put a non-date in a date field. Here is my code. In this example, tClosedDate is the text box on the form, RS!ClosedDate is the field in the db and the current value of RS!ClosedDate is 11/01/2003:
If tClosedDate > "" then
RS!ClosedDate = tClosedDate
RS!ClosedDate = ""
End If
Is there a way to get the date field in the db back to blank once a value is put into the field?
Thanks in advance.
Null Date Help Please!
Hi. I am making an application that displays dates. The problem is that when I tell a textbox to pull a date from the Access database and there is nothing in the recordset to display, it gives me the Error: Invalid use of Null. How can I avoid this?
This is my code that I use:
Dim c as ADODB.Connection
Dim r as ADODB.Recordset
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set r = New ADODB.Recordset
Set c = New ADODB.Connection
c.open connection string
r.open "select blah;", c, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
'Now say r has a field named "BDAY" and Text1 is a textbox
End Sub
End the code.
This will display the date if there is one. I made it so that you could navigate records, and when it hits a record that dosen't have a date entered in the database I get that error. I was wondering if I could do a If statement check, or something, but I have tried everthing I could think of and I need help. Please!
How Do I Set A Date Value To Null??
Does anyone know how I can set nulldate to null in the code below? At the moment I have to set it to 00/00/00 which when pulled from the database using a web interface shows up as some date in the 1800s. I have to go into sql server and edit the fields manually at the moment which is a bit of a pain. Any ideas?
Public Function NullDate() As Date
ThisErrorLog.FunctionName = "NullDate"
On Error GoTo err
NullDate = DateValue("00:00:00")
Exit Function
ThisErrorLog.ErrorDescription = err.Description
ThisErrorLog.ErrorNumber = err.Number
Date Is Null??
I have a form with check boxes. When I check the box, I have code that populates a table field with todays date.
This, upon clicking the check box, I want to...
Tables!tblABC.fieldname.value = Date
First, I am wondering idf there is anything wrong with this syntax. However, if I do something basic like...
MsgBox Date on the control, I get an Invalid Use of Null error. I'm confused because shouldn't Date be today's date?
Thanks in advcance for any help you can provide.
Date Vs NULL
I have defined a variable XPROOFSUBDATE as string. If the text filed has a date in it, it becomes a date
VB Code:
If IsDate(txtProofSubDate.Text) Then XPROOFSUBDATE = Trim(txtProofSubDate.Text)Else XPROOFSUBDATE = ""End If
Later, when I am putting the INSERT satement together, I check this string value. If it is a date, then I post the date, other I post a NULL.
If IsDate(XPROOFSUBDATE) Then
SQLINSERT = SQLINSERT & "'" & CDate(XPROOFSUBDATE) & "', "
SQLINSERT = SQLINSERT & "'" & Null & "', "
End If
What is coming into the field is not NULL, but rather 1/1/1900.
Any ideas?
Null Date Value
I am using the ISNULL function and i need to know what is the acceptable null value of a date so that i can include it in my code for errorchecking. I know that 0 is the null value for integers and currency, does it work for the date too, or is there a diffeent value that must be used.
Please Help!
Null Date
I need help with this null date problem. I have a form that is used
to edit information for several tables, and it is done with the
form unbound from tables to minimize opportunities for making
entry mistakes. To make a long story short, once the editing is
done, the edited fields are written to a user defined variable
that has been defined with all the same fields and types as the
table and the actual update is done with DAO .edit and
.update recordset methods. This all works fine exept it will
occasionally be necessary in editing to delete a date. When
that happens the field becomes null, of course, but when
the null value is written to the table, it becomes 12/301899.
That won't work. It must be a blank field when there is no
date entered. How can I make it work this way?
How To Pass A DATE ?
How to pass a DATE from vbcode to the crystal report ?
i tried to make :
crystalreport1.formulas(0) = "date1 = " & f1
where f1 is a variable which contains the date which i want it to be passed to the crystal report.
but the report shows only a string not a date ...(part of the date)
suppose my date is 21/06/01 ..when i pass it to the report it shows : 21.00
any body ?
Setting A Date To A Null Value
In Access 2000, how do I set a date field to a null value? I tried

- Birthday DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014We enjoyed our trip to Ditka's. Nice to have an upscale restaurant close to Laveen, which is sadly lacking in good places to eat. The menu had great selections, making it difficult to choose! The crabcakes are delicious. The timing of service was perfect. Our server made one error and apologized, but it did not affect the food, which was very good. A piece of birthday cake surprised us at the end of the meal as we had not said anything about it, it was just on the reservation. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Ditka's ExperiencemaverickDined on 9/7/2014Excellent dining experience with a great staff, who were always courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend Ditka's. Great food. Compliments to the chef.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average at bestMartinDined on 9/6/2014Was expecting more given the brand name of the restaurant. The food was ok, nothing you couldn't get at a local Appleby's or Chiles but at higher prices. Had a reservation but came 15 minutes late. They gave up the table to someone and said it would be a 3 hours wait even though the restaurant was half empty! Ended up eating at the bar. Ambience very nice - relaxing yet high energy from the casino atmosphere. Would I return again, most likely not.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/3/2014I had prime rib and it was cold when I got it and they took it back and put it on a grill or pan and when i got it back it was the worst prime rib I have ever had anyplace at any price. I told the server and she had the manager come over and i told her the story and she was very sorry about it and took the price off the bill. My other two people had the three steak and it was very good so if i were to go again i would try some thing else. I would not recomend this place to anyone until i try something else
- Nice! Very nice!TravelduoDined on 9/3/2014Great food...you really can get main dishes as low as $10.99 that are great! Atmosphere, service & food were all awesome! We will definitely be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Great and knowledgeable server, made excellent recommendations for wine and beer. The burgers we had were very greasy. The buns were soaked in grease as were the fry's. Won't do it again. Our guests were happier than us with there meals. They had steak and veggie sides with a huge twice baked potato. We thought the meals were over priced and do not plan a return visit. We will eat elsewhere and then attend the show.Special Features:
- Great except for the fries....OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Prime rib outstanding, dessert was tremendous. Prices actually reasonable. I didn't quite get why the French fries were as if they'd been under an infrared warming light at the local Jack-in-the-Box. Really? How hard is it to make outstanding French fries? As you can tell it was bit disappointing. Please watch any episode on the Food Network in which fries are made to learn how to do them right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time/will try againOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Overall experience was outstanding. Getting to meet Mike Ditka was very enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014food was great and so was the service.the only thing I did not like was being seated in the bar area.To many people hanging around near our table,very hard to have a conversation and enjoy dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!DedeDined on 8/22/2014I prefer the cozier Chicago location, but was excited to find Ditka's near Phoenix, even if it was in a casino. The food is just excellent in both locations. Wether you want a great burger or special occasion dinner, Ditka's is the place to go. You've GOTTA try the lobster mac & cheese! Also recommend Mike's salad, the filet steak, and peanut butter pie.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!DavidDined on 8/22/2014To make it short and sweet, the food is phenomenal and the service is world class. Joseph is the best server we have had at any restaurant we've ever been to.Special Features:
- Different than expectedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/16/2014We were expecting more of a traditional steakhouse menu. Also, by having to walk through the casino to get to the restaurant, I had to breathe in cigarette smoke the whole way and then I could smell in on me during dinner which made it hard to enjoy my meal. I had the French onion soup and prime rib, both which were pretty good. My husband's filet was over cooked but they happily took it back and made him a new one. It was tender but seemed masked by a lot of seasoning which he didn't enjoy that much.Special Features:
- Loved the whole experience!DebngregVIPDined on 8/10/2014Our waiter was wonderful, attentive without hovering. He had great information that he shared with us about the restaurant, the menu and the wine list. Since it was our first time at Ditkas, we enjoyed his input. And, whatever you do, make sure you order the creamed corn with your meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the burgers are huge!that1gurltDined on 8/9/2014Being that the restaurant is hosted by Mike Ditka, this is not some sports bar. Don't expect some fancy French cuisine, but I would definitely come back. Comfort food with a beautiful atmosphereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Experience!rockstarDined on 8/9/2014Being it had the Ditka name helped make the decision to try it. It was our first time at the restaurant and we loved it! We ordered the meatloaf, hamburger and chicken salad. Our first glance was "WOW"! Can we finish this! We devoured it! We are not gamblers, but we know great food and can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bodacious Ribeye special....diningfavDined on 8/9/2014Our host recommended the special of the evening...30 oz Ribeye on the bone with a lobster tail...shared with my beautiful wife.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We loved it!dinneroutDined on 8/2/2014We stayed at the Vee Quiva hotel for our anniversary weekend and had dinner at Ditka's on Saturday night. The service was excellent. The staff was great. They gave us the most fabulous crab bisque and chocolate cake for out anniversary. We will go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DitkaGr8t2GoDined on 8/2/2014Being our first time at this restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised at the outstanding food, the A+ service and the ambience that made our special occasion one to remember. We had visited Ditka's in Chicago many years ago and we are happy that we have a Ditka's close to home. We will try the lunch menu very soon. We will be back on 8/23rd to hopefully meet and get Coach Ditka's autograph as my husband and son are die hard Bear fans!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverallLindblom1953Dined on 8/2/2014At the bar, waiting for the rest of our party, I order a Brandy Alexander which they could not serve to me because they did not have the crème de cocoa. I was disappointed I had planned on having this drink all week. The service was excellent, many helping with our table. Our orders were brought in a timely manner and the main course was served to all five at the same time. Charles was very attentive to our needs. We were expecting more DA BEARS memorable items. I am from Chicago, South Side, back of the yards, and entire family true to the Bears. We were not rushed and had a enjoyable evening together with family.Special Features:
- DisappointingbeardinerDined on 8/1/2014Anniversary dinner with friends at a special new restaurant was the plans for the evening. Traffic cause us to delay our reservation but Ditka's was very accommodating with the change. Beautiful space, very friendly staff and nice smoke free environment. We ordered 2 of the signature items, fish tacos and a burger. Fish tacos were over seasoned to the point you could not taste the fish. Burger was served with cold fries. Shareable side of creamed corn was the best thing we had. Wish that the food was as good as the service.
- EnjoyableFood1Dined on 8/1/2014We were warmly greeted as the door was opened for us. We were seated promptly to a table that gave us view of the action in the casino. Our waitress Sayre was friendly, courteous & helpful with suggestions. The Hamburgers were huge & delicious. They were cooked the way we requested. The raspberry cheesecake was delicious. The presentation of this on the plate was really eye catching. The restaurant manager was gracious and friendly. Overall a very pleasant experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014The place was great. We really enjoyed our experience. The food, the atmosphere, and the wait staff was top notched.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Birthday CelebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/31/2014I booked a reservation for Ditka's through Open Table. This process was very quick and easy which is great for me because time is precious! In my reservation I noted that we would be celebrating a birthday. I did not know whether or not the restaurant would do anything with this information. I was pleasantly surprised when the host and hostess checked us in and noted the birthday celebration, followed by our server and the front house manager. I really appreciated the acknowledgement to make my moms special day even that more special. The food was excellent as usual the service was more than exceptional. They even presented my mother with a complimentary slice of chocolate cake for her birthday. Excellent experience all the way around!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Inside a CasinoPickyTravelerVIPDined on 7/30/2014I am still looking for the best steak place in Phoenix for entertaining high end customers. Ditka's is good, but located inside a smoky casino on the reservation. Not the fanciest facility in the area. The service was excellent and the food was good. My filet was overcooked and the waiter and the manager both wanted to replace it but I did not let them and enjoyed it anyway. Everyone had a nice time and the younger folks went to the tables after dinner.Special Features:
- Great first experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/26/2014Yep, it was our first time here...always have seen the ads at Cardinals stadium, but never had a chance to try it. My wife had the halibut which was fantastic, and I went with the pork chop just for variety. The pork chop was surprisingly good, finished with a cherry au jus that was really unique. And the southwestern flair with the halibut was very Arizona, and really brought out the flavor. When our meal arrived, we were asked, no less than three times if everything was to our liking...once by the server, once by a busser, and once by the manager. Great service on a busy Saturday night for sure. A bit of a drive, but you've got the casino for a little fun after the meal. We even won our meal money back at the slots!!Special Features:
- billtDined on 7/18/2014the service and vibe was excellent. the food was really good and our server took her time and did an excellent job pampering us. The wine list was really nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for good food and a relaxing atmosphere.Special Features:
- Great ServiceWhiteshoesReviewsDined on 7/12/2014Joseph was an outstanding server. Very attentive. Food was good but somewhat slow to reach us.Special Features:
- Worth a visit!Uncle50Dined on 7/10/2014It's a beautiful restaurant, very comfortable with a great ambience and the service is excellent. I understand the menu was recently expanded but I find there's not enough choice. The food is very good but when ordering most entrees one must consider that there is no vegetable, salad, or potato/rice accompaniment. There is an additional charge for a side dish which is far too expensive when one considers that the fillet and scampi alone is $36.99 and an add on - such as a baked potato or a vegetable dish - is and additional $5.99 to $7.99.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good as ChicagoMartaDined on 7/4/2014While the ambience may not be the same as Ditkas in Chicago, the food was definitely as great! The service was absolutely wonderful, there was always someone coming by to check on us. I had the meatloaf and it was unbelievable and the presentation was spectacular as well. I also had a dinner salad with pecans, goat cheese, and cranberries and it was just perfect. I was only disappointed with the wine list but had one of their specialty cocktails and it was just delicious! We Will come back again! Some folks have said unfavorable things about being to close to the casino noise but I thought the glass walls blocked the noise and it was neat to watch the folks working hard on the machines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome dining ExperienceOneHappySonDined on 6/26/2014We celebrated my Mother's 74 th Birthday. I had notified the manager ahead of time to make this as special as possible, as Mom has Terminal Cancer and this would probably be her last. The staff and management team went out of there way to make this happen. The manager gave here a rose and she was also presented with a yummy chocolate cake with candles and all the trimmings!! Wish I could attach the wonderful photo's!Special Features:
- No Steak!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/24/2014We went there thinking we were going to a steakhouse. We ordered three prime rib steaks, waiter came out and said they ran out of prime rib at 6 and it wasn't busy! Waiter asked if they could Substitute with a filet steak to our surprise it was a 20.00 difference for each steak! Not happy!!!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/21/2014This was our first visit for dining at Ditka's. It was enjoyable and the prices were very reasonable. We have dined at other places such as Flemings, Outback, Ruth's Chris and would plan on returning in the near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected betterfriendoffoodDined on 6/20/2014Our waiter was pleasant and friendly. He recommended a drink for me that was delicious. However, my date ordered a beer and the waiter poured it out horribly. Our steaks were cooked to order but the smashed red potatoes had no real flavor besides being smashed up potatoes. When it was time to leave we noticed that the door was not opened for us as it had been for several other people entering the restaurant throughout the evening. I read reviews on this place before deciding to go and I did see poor service as a main concern but I thought maybe it was just a bad night for a few. I regret not listening to other reviewers. Luckily the restaurant is located inside a casino where we won our $100+ dollars back that we spent on dinner.
- Tasty TomahawksBestbuffetDined on 6/16/2014honestly, not as impressive as don shula or ruth chris. we appreciated the less expensive items, and the happy hour. the service was excellent. we ordered two tomahawks and two rib dinners. i would've like the rib dinners to be hotter when they arrived at the table. the french fries were bearable. the tomahawks, while delicious, would've been more appetizing if they were served on a sizzling platter. the creamed spinach was very good. overall, we enjoyed the dining experience.Special Features:
- Very good.TC57Dined on 6/15/2014It was our first trip to Ditkas at Vee Quiva on Fathers Day. Service was great and it wasn't very busy at 5pm but started to fill in around 6PM. Nice atmosphere, not too dark or too light. The football theme isn't overdone in the dining room, a little more in the bar area. Nice selection of items to fit all tastes, ribs, burgers, steaks and chicken, to pastas ,salads, etc for lighter fare. (meatloaf was plentiful and moist, perfect for me) We will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Excellent!SnertDined on 6/15/2014The food was great. The atmosphere was great. The service was great! This father's day meal was one to remember from the tasty Lobster Bisque to the excellent steak to the creamy/crunchy Creme Brulle. We even got a tour of the private party room and saw some great pictures of Da Coach and his friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine DiningwineanddineDined on 6/14/2014Made reservations for 8:30PM and we arrived about 15 minutes early. No problem, we were seated immediately. Service was great, food was excellent and good red wine. The filets were done to perfection, and our wine was Ditka's own brand, excellent. Restaurant is a little pricey, but for special occasion, or just for good food and fine dining, we definitely would recommend Ditka's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- exudes excellence.pigmeisterDined on 6/12/2014Ditkas is just absolutely fantastic. The food, service, ambience is wonderful. I'm a true foodie and I now officially rank Ditka's Steakhouse in my top five worldwide on restaurants I've eaten at. That's saying a lot...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Two years ago, when I got my DroidX, I was all excited. The thought of being able to log on to the internet where ever I was, having access to GPS, my Kindle books, a camera etc. all in one convenient, compact device, seemed like a good idea, maybe even necessary and important.
But now I'm not so sure.
When I think about it, is it really worth $30 per month ($60 if you add in my wife's Droid), to have access to the internet everywhere, especially when you consider I'm already spending $40/month for wifi access at home? I hardly ever use it, except when I am at home, and I'm too lazy to go get my laptop to check whatever it is I feel is so necessary to check. And why do I need a Kindle or camera on the phone, neither of which is a good substitute for the real thing? The GPS may be about the only thing that is a good idea, but is it worth $30/month, considering how little I use it?
We have become slaves to technology. We've been brain washed into thinking we need to stay connected every hour of every day. Some of us would rather spend hours in front of our computers discussing whatever, with strangers around the country and the world, who we've never met [GETTING FAT!], while others sit in front of the TV [GETTING FAT!] being bombarded with reality shows and political diatribes, designed to distort and confuse reality, and hide what is actually happening in our own backyards.
We use technology as baby sitters for our kids [who are GETTING FAT], when their time would be better spent outside playing a pick up game of baseball or basketball, or simply engaging their friends in conversation face to face, instead of texting on their smartphones.
I'm sure some people may find it useful, mostly salesmen and the like, but for me, and the vast majority of other people, it's just plain stupid, not to mention non productive and a waste of money, and I think it's time I got rid of my smart phone.
There's no reason why a good old fashion [cell] phone can't suffice for most of us. I think it's time we started communicating more face to face, like we use to, instead of hiding behind our computers and smart phones. We certainly were a lot more civil to each other when we did.
Plus I can think of a lot better uses for that $30/month ($60 if I can convince Edie of the same), like a good bottle of wine.

I'm confused as to why female characters get so much attention compared to the one article about male characters. Is it really that hard for male writers to think of female characters as just another character? OMG, MY CHARACTER HAS A VAGINA. SHIT JUST GOT COMPLICATED. I'll make her a walking sex object that repeatedly gets kidnapped. There. Fixed it.

THIS. Also, Patrick Stewart's expression warrants a reblog all on its own.
(Source: evanfleischer, via brooklynmutt)
Two other women, also breast cancer survivors, said their husbands left them after they were diagnosed. Both had to have mastectomies (in case anyone doesn't know, this is the surgical operation to remove one or both breasts).
The first woman said her husband told her that he would rather see her dead than see her lose her breasts. The second woman had her operation and waited all day to be picked up by her husband, who never arrived. By nightfall, one of the nurses offered to give her a ride, and she came home to find the house empty.
Obviously, these are extreme cases of a man's reaction to his wife's breast cancer, but this is what I see when I see the "I ♥ Boobies" bracelets. I see love of the body parts, not the person being treated—not the patient, not the victim, not the survivor.My Beef with the "I Love Boobies" Bracelets (via faithinwonderland)

The zeal for ever-tougher controls on carbon emissions seems to be seeping away in Europe, too – a trend measuring a dramatic U.S. shift away from cap-and-trade and carbon ceilings under the Obama administration.
Without so much as a farewell tip of the hat, President Barack Obama has pulled the plug on his much-promoted goal of comprehensive climate-change legislation. In his agenda-setting State of the Union address, he dropped any U.S. move toward EU-style cap and trade. Significantly, the word "climate" was never uttered.
Nikos Tsafos is a Manager specializing in natural gas with PFC Energy.
U.S. Success Not A Blueprint For Europe
Europe, a continent where energy security--or insecurity--is a major source of anxiety, is beginning to look at the US success with shale gas, tight gas, and coal-bed methane gas, known collectively as "unconventional gas," as a possible source of deliverance from its energy troubles. And the Russians, who are Europe's largest supplier of natural gas, are genuinely worried that production could take off. Alexander Medvedev, the deputy head of Gazprom, recently expressed concern that gas from shale in the United States was a "dangerous development." He meant, of course, that shale gas could perpetuate the current glut in global supplies, keeping profits down for Gazprom.

I just finished working up this Asscher Cut diamond for one of our customers.
Pretty, no?
I just finished working up this Asscher Cut diamond for one of our customers.
Pretty, no?
That's assuming she gives it back to you.
We have previously blogged on this topic, providing the names of e-commerce sites that will sell your engagement ring at significantly higher prices than you can get from a retail jeweler.
Bloomberg News this morning reports on this topic and again provides the names of several websites that will broker your engagement ring and obtain higher prices than you can get on your own.
The story is here: Take My Engagement Ring, PLEA$E!!
Would you buy this 3 stone emerald cut diamond engagement ring over your cell phone??
Several recent purchases of diamond engagement rings were actually completed over a cellular telephone!
This brings an entirely new meaning to the online diamond shopping experience! Honestly, I cannot imagine that the initial research by these customers was conducted over a 3-4 inch cell phone screen. Probably, they did their homework on a regular computer screen and only consummated the actual purchase over a cell phone (Iphone..I wasn't sure which…).
Either way, I find this to be an incredible indication of where we are going with the Internet revolution!
The answer is Yes.
A report in todays Namibia New Era Updates indicates the the the size and quality of mined diamond rough is decreasing and that diamond site holders are concerned about the long-term viability of their diamond cutting and polishing factories and retention of their skilled diamond cutters.
Diamond prices saw significant across the board price increases from half carat to the rarer high quality 2 carats and above just recently in May 2008. No doubt more price increases are on the way. Your diamond engagement ring is becoming more and more expensive!

The Radiant Cut has 70 facets and is distinguishable by its cut corners. The Radiant shape combines the best elegant elements of the Emerald Cut with the brilliance of the round brilliant shape.
Radiant Cut diamonds may either be rectangular or square in shape. GIA refers to rectangular radiants as "Cut Cornered Rectangular Modified Brilliant" and the square Radiant shape as "Cut Corner Square Modified Brilliant".
Here are pictures of both radiant shapes. Both are beautiful. Which do you like best?
We have begun noticing a recent trend which I find to be unusual given today's suffering economy.

I'm not sure exactly what is going on…..
The rich getting richer, or the poor getting poorer??
Hey, I'm not complaining!
Engagement rings of prominence!
