Brian Liepe: We've looked at wide-angle lenses, which have focal lengths up to 30 mm to 35 mm. Now we're going to at the long lens or the telephoto lenses that have focal lengths from about 50 mm and up. Chad Perkins: Just as wide angle lenses zoom out so you could see more of what's going on, telephoto lenses, often referred to as long lenses, zoom in so you can get closer. And also in the same way that wide-angle lenses tend to expand subjects, so it expands the distance between objects, telephoto lenses, or long lenses, tend to compress the distance between subject and foreground and other objects in your scene.
Brian Liepe: So again, going back to the horror movie example. If you are shooting a character running from danger, you could use a long lens which again compresses space. This would make the character seem to run without traveling much distance which can increase the tension. Chad Perkins: So let's say you're shooting a subject against a background in the distance. If you wanted to bring this subject and background closer together without actually moving anything, you could just use a longer lens. If you want the distance to between the objects to remain the same, but you wanted to be closer to the subject, you would want to actually physically move closer to the subject.
Or if you want to make it seem as if the talent was closer to danger than they are, a long lens might be a good choice there as well. Another benefit of using a long lens is that you generally get a better shallow depth of field effect. If for example you want to create some beautiful Bokeh, which is what we refer to the out of focus areas of the image. Then you probably want to use a longer lens for that. Wider lenses have a really tough time getting beautiful bokeh regardless of whatever camera settings you're using.
Brian Liepe: One last word of warning when using a telephoto lens; the longer the focal length the more sensitive to movement the lens becomes. So if you're dialed in on a long focal length and you're moving a little bit, you may not feel it that much, the lens is really going to see that shakiness. Here's a hand-held shot with a wide-angle lens. The shake is noticeable but it doesn't ruin the shot. Here's the same exact shot with a really long lens. And the shake makes the shot unusable as it is.
The use of different lenses provides so many creative options, not only for magnification, but for storytelling as well.

Q. What is the cost?
A. Our fees are paid by the company who is looking for the employee. It is illegal to charge individuals looking for employment. We are competitive in the San Diego and southern California market. All fees are based upon a percentage of the new employees salary and terms of payment are always discussed up front and on a case by case basis. Once the position responsibilites and requirments are identified and we agree to partner in the search, contracts are issued. Each company is unique and all of the factors are taken into consideration. We have the flexiblity to determine the best pricing needs of your company and make the placement process a win/ win for both parties.
Q. What guarantees will our company have?
A. Our commitment is satisfaction with service. We do all of the up front work to provide the right candidate for your company.

Both our fees and guarantees are discussed up front before the first interview is even conducted, there are no surprises.
Q. How does the placement process work?
A. If we have not met face to face previously, we schedule a time to meet.

Summary: This is story is Embry's imprinting story. Embry is a over large looking but a normal boy who falls in love with a girl that has secrets she doesn't share with anybody. Will they fight for the obstacles that gets in their way to become happy? (I'm bad at summaries, sorry.)
Please read, and if I don't get 10 comments, I will not write.
I looked up at the clock tower as it chimed, and ran for my other half. Ding, the first bell. Ding, the second bell. Then Di- I heard my soulmate screaming for me to come and rescue her, and I ran as fast as I could to the vent. I growled as the vampires started to rip the human's head off. Please be alive, keep fighting! I thought, and I crashed the door open to see Aro fighting with her. I lunged for him, and with a defeating crack, I fell. I fought the urge to stay alive. There was no way I would live without her. I heard another crack, and they growled furiously. Death, seemed like good for right now.

|A Review of Disaster-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Opportunities for Prevention.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22897556 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objectives. We conducted a systematic literature review to better understand aspects of disaster-related carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning surveillance and determine potentially effective prevention strategies. Methods. This review included information from 28 journal articles on disaster-related CO poisoning cases occurring between 1991 and 2009 in the United States. Results. We identified 362 incidents and 1888 disaster-related CO poisoning cases, including 75 fatalities. Fatalities occurred primarily among persons who were aged 18 years or older (88%) and male (79%). Hispanics and Asians accounted for 20% and 14% of fatal cases and 21% and 7% of nonfatal cases, respectively. Generators were the primary exposure source for 83% of fatal and 54% of nonfatal cases; 67% of these fatal cases were caused by indoor generator placement. Charcoal grills were a major source of exposure during winter storms. Most fatalities (94%) occurred at home. Nearly 89% of fatal and 53% of nonfatal cases occurred within 3 days of disaster onset. Conclusions. Public health prevention efforts could benefit from emphasizing predisaster risk communication and tailoring interventions for racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities. These findings highlight the need for surveillance and CO-related information as components of disaster preparedness, response, and prevention. (Am J Public Health.

Bainbridge- South Georgia men will again appear on national TV Friday night in an Internet child sex sting.
"It puts a black mark on any community when you have a sex offender from your community, but unfortunately every community has these sexual offenders," said Sheriff Wiley Griffin, of Decatur County.
People in Decatur County are still shocked by last week's Dateline sting that caught a Bainbridge man.
Twenty four year old Reymundo Anguiano of Albany and 31 year old Jacob Cason of Nashville, 35 year old Marvin Harrison Smith of Tifton and 25 year old John Daniels, of Bainbridge were arrested in July in Harris County, Georgia. Smith and Daniels arrests were shown on Dateline last week. Anguiano and Cason will be on September 22nd. Daniels, who's out of jail on bond is a cabinet shop employee in Bainbridge. If he's convicted, he'll be classified in one of three categories.
"They classify them in three different levels, level one is a low offense, re-offending, then you've got level two which is a possible could, and then you've got dangerous, sexual predator, who they wear the ankle monitors," said Det. Liz Croley, Decatur County Sheriff's office.
Whether it's a sexual offender or predator the Sheriff's office considers them all dangerous. Detectives check up with each of the county's 51 offenders at least every six month.
Friday on Dateline NBC at nine o'clock, you'll see the men from Albany and Nashville, Georgia get busted.

Fox Cancels So You Think You Can Dance Results Show
Nigel Lythgoe revealed via Twitter over the weekend that So You Think You Can Dance is getting a complete revamp. According to the executive producer, Fox pulled the plug on SYTYCD's results show.
"#FOX have cancelled(sic) the results show so I will have to change the format of #SYTYCD. At least we have another season at the end of MAY," he wrote. Fans were upset with the news, scared it meant that the show was on its way out. Lythgoe added hours later, "Don't worry #SYTYCD fans. I'm thrillwed we have a new series. We'll do our best to find some great talent starting next week in Atlanta."
Though fans are upset, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Judges are more in control of who wins and who loses on SYTYCD. Though America votes, it's ultimately up to the judges (much like The X Factor). Perhaps instead of waiting for votes overnight, fans have to vote during the show or maybe fans will be cut out of the process all together. Most of the time America gets it wrong anyway.
The biggest concern for anyone in the pop industry is this means one more platform for showcasing new music is gone. MTV doesn't show anything where artists can perform, so they rely heavily on talent competitions.
The problem with results show is they eat up a lot of FOX's schedule. If the shows were shorter, perhaps less dramatic and dragged out.. Only half hour, there'd be more room. Fox could squeeze the next big sitcom after the results show instead of devoting all the time to talent competitions.
Regardless, we're interested to see how the show is reformatted. SYTYCD premieres in mid May, just after American Idol's finale.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This is my very basic 'go-to' pattern when I want to knit plain vanilla socks. It's a great pattern to show off beautiful hand-dyed sock yarns.
The socks are knit in the round from the cuff down with a traditional style heel flap, gusset and wedge toe.
8 stitches to 1 inch in stockinette (stocking) stitch
My grandmother taught me to knit when I was 8, some 40 years later I still love it.
There's just something about being able to use yarn and needles, to create something beautiful and useful.

Trentemøller is ready to take on Orange Stage
After a week full music announcements, we present this couple of electronic acts.
With his international fame and myriad of collaborators, Trentemøller will do magic on Orange Stage.
TRENTEMØLLER (DK) is a much sought-after producer, songwriter and composer. We are likely to experience a show alternating between analogue indie rock and neon purple streams of bubbling synths, and techno beats like on his new album Lost. Trentemøller's concert at Roskilde will be the only chance to catch this star in his home country this summer.
CYRIL HAHN (CH) turns R&B into something alien and haunted. Remixes of Beyonce, Solange, Haim and Mariah Carey have made Cyril Hahn quite a remix sensation right now. He often slows down the songs and finds new, stranger emotions by means of echo, reverb, pitch and beat tweaking, creating something quite unsettling from familiar material.
…much more around the corner!

Faculty Affairs
Grade Records
Grade records should be retained for a minimum of four calendar years. Grade records are defined as grade books, computer and noncomputer-generated grade sheets, and other such materials that permit a reconstruction of a student's graded performance in a course. Grade records are not limited to the final grades submitted at the end of a semester. The need to retain grade materials for at least four years is based on reviews that have occurred following student appeals both on and off campus, including grade appeals, charges of racial discrimination and sexual harassment, and appeals to federal agencies.
Chairpersons and division directors must collect grade records, or copies of grade records, from instructors who retire or who otherwise leave the university. Each college will determine how materials are to be stored and, in general, how the process will be monitored.
Grade Replacement
After a course has been retaken at Texas Tech, a student may apply to the Registrar for grade replacement. This policy applies to students enrolled at the university during spring 1993 through spring 2004 and applies only to those who have not received a baccalaureate degree at the time of the request. First-time freshmen entering in the fall of 2004 or after may not repeat a course more than once without paying a substantial fee. They may not repeat a course for grade replacement in which they have received a C or higher. These students have four W's permitting them to drop a maximum of four courses during their time at Texas Tech. Transfer students entering in the fall of 2004 and after have three W's. The student-initiated drop/add period at the start of the term lies outside these limits in regard to the number of drops.
The grade replacement is for the purpose of providing an adjusted grade point average. The most recent passing grade will replace all previous grades in that course. The cumulative adjusted GPA will be posted on the bottom of the student's transcript. A notation will indicate the original course which is being replaced. The original grade and original cumulative GPA will remain (does not show in Banner transcript). The cumulative (not the adjusted) GPA will be used for honors.
The grade of I is given only when a student's work is satisfactory in quality but, due to reasons beyond his or her control, has not been completed. It is not given instead of an F. Prior to assigning the I, the instructor must fill out a form provided on the Raiderlink portal stating the reasons beyond the student's control for granting the I and the conditions to be met to remove the I. Both the student and faculty member must sign the form. The I may be replaced by an R if the course is repeated, and the appropriate grade will be given for the second registration. The grade of I will revert to an F after one calendar year if the conditions for completing the I as stated on the form have not been met.
An application for grade replacement may be obtained and initiated by the student in the Office of the Registrar after the current semester academic procedures have been completed. The approved form is scanned into student records. Students may apply after the passing grade is received in the replacing course. A student replacing a grade received before fall 1983 should contact the office of the student's academic dean. (OP 34.15)

Holding Public Office
The Board of Regents does not undertake to determine whether an employee or a member of the faculty of the institution shall become a candidate for, or shall accept, an elective, full-time public office.
A faculty member or staff employee may accept a public office or membership on the governing board of a school district, city, town, or other local governmental district provided no salary is received by virtue of such office. A faculty member or staff employee must maintain as a priority the full and complete performance of her or his assigned duties while holding such office. Acceptance of an additional position that pays a salary, per diem or benefits and in instances when the two positions are such that they cannot be held at one time by the same person will automatically be considered as a resignation of employment with Texas Tech University. (OP 32.07 & OP 70.15) See TX Constitution, Art. 16, Sec. 40.
Leaves of Absence
It is a policy of the university to grant leaves of absence to members of the faculty and staff to attend conferences and professional meetings when such attendance will enhance the prestige of the university and contribute to the professional development of the individual and to the advancement of knowledge within his or her professional field.
Request for such leaves should be initiated at the departmental level well in advance of the date of departure. If approved by the department chair, such requests are forwarded through normal channels to the President for action. All requests for leaves should be filed as early as possible prior to the departure date.
Only in rare instances should applications be submitted for absence during critical periods of operation of the university. Critical periods are those during which the responsibilities of the position are particularly involved. The beginning or close of any semester or term or at any time when reports are customarily due are examples of critical periods.
Development Leave
Faculty Development Leaves are provided by legislative action "designed to enable the faculty member to engage in study, research, writing, and like projects for the purpose of adding to the knowledge available to himself, his students, his institution, and society generally." §51.102, Education Code. There are attendant statutory regulations concerning such leave. The Provost annually makes notification of the number of leaves to be available and procedures for selection of such leaves. The Faculty Development Committee screens applications and makes recommendations to the Provost.
A faculty member on faculty development leave continues to be an active participant of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas or of the Optional Retirement Program. Deposit and membership dues required to be paid to the TRS or to the ORP and any other amounts required or authorized to be deducted from the compensation paid any faculty member will be deducted from the compensation of those faculty members on leave. (OP 32.29)
Sick Leave
A regular faculty member shall, without deduction in salary, be entitled to sick leave subject to the conditions listed in OP 32.11.
Malingering and other abuses of sick leave shall constitute grounds for dismissal from university employment. A Sick Leave Pool is maintained to benefit regular employees who suffer catastrophic injuries or illnesses. Refer to OP 70.01 for details.
Exceptions to the amount of sick leave an employee may take may be authorized by the President on an individual basis after a review of the merits of each particular case. Requests must be made through administrative channels to the Provost and then to the President.
The proper reporting and accounting for sick leave is mandated by the legislature. (OP 32.11)
Misconduct in Research by Faculty
Recent experience at several United States universities indicates that from time to time an allegation of fraudulent conduct in research or scholarly activity may be made against a member of an institution's faculty. Such allegations normally have accused the individual of data falsification or fabrication, improper manipulation of data, plagiarism, or other misrepresentations of research findings, including falsifying the research record on any document submitted to the university for purposes of faculty evaluation or to represent the faculty member's research record to outside agencies. Fraudulent conduct in research and scholarship is totally antithetical to accepted academic procedures.
If an allegation of misconduct in research or other scholarly activity is made against a member of the Texas Tech University faculty, staff, or student body, the allegation shall be dealt with through a two-step process. In the first step the dean of the college or school in which the faculty or staff member is appointed or in which the student is enrolled shall initiate an inquiry. The inquiry shall consist of information gathering and initial fact finding to determine whether an allegation of misconduct warrants an investigation. The dean shall report the results of the inquiry to the Associate Vice President for Research. If the finding of the inquiry is that an investigation is warranted, the Associate Vice President for Research shall initiate the second step, which shall be an investigation. The investigation shall be conducted by an ad hoc committee of five persons. If the committee determines that disciplinary action is warranted, the committee shall recommend to the Associate Vice President what action should be taken.

I completly agree. This is how a David Stern run league operates though. Rookies come in with big heads, *some of them* and get treated like loyalty. The days of having a rookie earn his way is gone for the most part. Im down for petition, doubt it will do any good, but least show support for Dre.

Wine Spectator
"Deep ruby-red. Explosive, somewhat feral, highly aromatic nose of cassis, roast coffee, game, smoky oak and chocolate; shows a very strong torrefaction aspect. Lush, rich and deep; has a pliancy and degree of early personality I find in only the very best young California cabernets. Subtle notes of chocolate and tobacco contribute to the wine appeal. Finishes fairly tannic but very long. Distinctly more layered than the '95."
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"The color is opaque purple, and the wine reveals more vanillin, a touch of mint, and plenty of black currant fruit in its moderately intense aromatics. Some of the vintage's dry tannin (from this year's stressed vineyard conditions) is present in the wine's finish. A more stylish, restrained, less exuberant example than the 1996 Oakville, it is an outstanding offering that should be consumed between 2002-2025.

In the U.K., they have Wills and Kate, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, etc. Even Pippa Middleton. These are actual royals (or royals by association), so you can at least somewhat understand the fancy-pants position they're put in by their public -- and the world. Here, we worship pop stars, movie stars, and tabloid staples. So it's no wonder our appetite for Beyonce's baby news has been out of control. Baby Blue Ivy is the heir apparent to her parents' hip-hop Hall of Fame thrones.
But as true as that all may be, it doesn't excuse parents B and Jay-Z for acting like totally selfish schmoes while welcoming her into the world. The latest on Camp Carter is that the couple paid $1.3 mil. to rent out an entire wing of Lenox Hill Hospital for the birth ... and in turn, their security blocked other parents from visiting their newborns. Ewww. And we thought other celebs' diva behavior was obnoxious!
It wasn't that long ago that Alec Baldwin caused anguish and frustration for other American Airlines passengers when he got all worked up about having to shut down his electronic device like everyone else. As much as I love him, Jason Bateman thought he could get away with cutting the iPhone line in L.A. a while back. And remember when Kim Kardashian had Vera Wang shut down her store in July so she could get her bridal dress shoppin' on? Really -- who do these people think they are?
More on Beyonce's Delivery: Beyonce Addresses Baby Drama & Denies a Diva Delivery
To be fair, it is sort of a chicken or the egg type situation ... Do celebs feel entitled to behave like this, because we put them on a pedestal and also because fans and paparazzi make it impossible for them to live their lives in a normal way? For instance, just for argument's sake, let's say B and J hadn't rented out that entire wing of Lenox Hill ... Maybe just had a suite or even two suites. Would a photog somehow have gotten all up in B's first breast feeding session?
I'm sure that's what they were freaked out about, but ehhh ... I dunno how much they really needed to worry about that. I still feel like they could have still had security without it being this crazed, "we're going to own 1/4 of the hospital" deal that locked a father out from seeing his preemie twins! And the same is true for the rest of these celebs who think they can get away with "I'm such a VIP" behavior. Sure, they're entitled to privacy as much as anyone else, but more often than not, their attempts to protect themselves -- or be treated differently than everyone else -- go too far.
What do you think about Beyonce and Jay-Z's "diva" behavior at Lenox Hill? Do you think celebs deserve to shut down stores, cut lines, prevent flights from taking off, just because they're famous?
Image via Al Bello/Getty Images
ummm, no because its the hospital's responsibility to make sure the other families have access to their newborns. i think they just want to make sure there's no photogs tryna snap the first pic or psycho stalker tryna snatch the baby.
If I was prevented from seeing my children I would be throwing a fit. That is crazy.
It is one thing for a retailer to close their own store for a customer. I can always shop elsewhere, but if my children are in the hospital, and because of some celebrity I am not allowed to see them I would be raising hell.
i don't know if i believe that story, if it were me they'd be calling the police.
No, No, No, NO!! Hell NO! I don't care who you are, You are not keeping me from my child! this is why I had both my daughters room in with me. What about the other mothers who had gone in to labor or were in the birthing rooms. were they told to go elsewhere or kicked out? I highly doubt B was the only one in labor that night...
I am a fan of Beyonce and her hubby but this was ridiculous! A man couldn't see his children! Who the hell do they think they are??? They took this too far...I would sue their asses...They would have to call the cops on me cause I would be raising holy hell! It's a hospital not a freakin shopping mall.....DAMN SHAME....RICH BASTARDS FULL OF THEMSELVES!

Triangle: Tonali -- A Very Mixed Experience
I paid my first visit to Tonali, the two-month-old Mexican bistro in Durham, inspired by rave reviews on this board. The experience was weirdly mixed.
As previous reviewers said, the food is very good in just the way you would expect given the chef's credentials as a former sous chef at Four Square. Everything is very light, precise, fresh, and vibrant, and the salsas are among the best I've ever had. The vaunted tortillas are also good, though not as fragrantly corny as the tortillas at Don Jose Tienda, which I slightly prefer.
This being said, I have two massive reservations.
1) While prices are very reasonable, the portions are miniscule. I ordered a plate of three fish tacos. Each taco included one bitty piece of fish about the size of a largish hush puppy. I finished my entree in somewhere between three and six bites, and was so unsatisfied that I immediately adjourned to Eastern Light for soup and potstickers.
2) The service was perhaps the very worst I have ever experienced. It was complete chaos. Not once but twice we were brought dishes that were not ours. We were also brought the wrong bill. You could see the waitresses shopping dishes to different tables, more or less guessing who had ordered what. Our appetizer arrived with our entrees. We had no silverware, despite requesting some at the start of the meal. I had to scope around the kitchen area trying to find some myself. I finally gave up and we ate our dinner -- including our salad -- with our fingers. Toward the end of the meal, I got the attention of a waitress and requested a fork, but none arrived. I flagged a second waitress, who, as we were finishing our meal, brought us one set of silverware, as if she expected my wife and I to share a fork. At one point, I had to wrestle my plate out of the clutches of a waitress who grabbed it without asking whether I had finished. I am not one to obsess about service, especially when the food is good, but this was way beyond the pale. The weird thing was that the restaurant did not appear to be either understaffed or overbusy.
Would I return? Maybe. The food is very good, but then again you can get great tacos at a much cheaper price at Superior, Miranda's, Chicho, etc.
Close call.
Sinophile (David A.)
wow, that sounds terrible. at some point bad service impinges on the experience so much the food is no longer enjoyable.
Sounds like a rough meal. When we went, the service was hardly polished, but in a charming sort of way. Sounds like one of those nights.
As for the portions, when I went, my wife had those same tacos and they were made of grouper. I remember being aghast at how large they were for the money (which I recall being around 7 or 8 bucks. Since grouper typically costs out $10-$12 /lb. once knocked down and ready to go, I figured the guy had at least $4-$5 worth of fish on the plate. Assuming the basic costs that every restaurant faces, that means it likely cost him about $1.75 out of his own pocket to serve that plate of food. This is why I felt he needed to raise his prices. If David's experience was not a fluke, it appears he may have gone the other way and just gave smaller pieces. I, for one, would perfer that he either use a less fancy fish or charge more and give a nice portion.
The last option, unfortunately, puts him at risk of taking flack for having the audacity to charge $12 for a plate of tacos. An unfair, but rather inevitable reaction from many.
If it's any consolation, each piece of fish would need to be about 1 - 1.25 oz for him to make anything at all on 3 tacos assuming he's charging $8 and still using grouper. My guess is that would be about the size of a hushpuppy. So, while you may not have been satisfied, at least you weren't ripped off either.
I recommend a less expensive fish and a larger portion. We make fish tacos at home using a killer recipe I found in Saveur magazine. We use catfish. The results are superb.
Sinophile (David A.)
The tacos are small compared to the tacquerias but as detlefchef says, they use grouper (or at least claim to) and remember they are being served-- eventualy -- on white talb linens. Given this I think the prices are very fair.
The service complaint is very justified. They are definitely going through some growing pains, but they need to resolve this soon or else they are going to lose followers. This may be happening some already. My wife said she went with her mother for lunch last Friday and the place wasn't very busy.
My recs for the place would be to raise the prices a little anduse the extra revenue to hire more staff and widen the menu offerings. I want to see moles, pibils, etc. on the menu.
I have also had some bad service experiences here. I was there on a Saturday night and part of my party was finished there meal before two members of the party had even been served. I still go because I really like the food and the price is very affordable (Except for the $2.50 coffee, I guess they need to make up for not serving booze).
So far I've tried the Sopas (Excellent), Fish Tacos (Good but a little small), Mussels (Nice and fresh, could have used a little more chorizo in the broth to make it an actual stew, and I was also I very curious if any one else had GIANT mussels (which I have never seen before)?), and the chorizo and eggs for brunch (Delicious and surprisingly filling). The tomatillo salsa is good but it would be nice if they offered a spicy salsa.
Overall, I really like the restaraunt and I hope that they work out all of their kinks.
re: durhameater
That's a New Zealand Green Lip Mussel.
Thanks. The menu said they were "PEI Mussels" but the large ones were definitely different than anything I had seen in ol' Prince Edward Island.
Had another lunch there today. Questioning the value at this place is like lookng a gift horse in the mouth and shows an insane level of boldness and self-entitlement. What they're doing down there is borderline philanthropy. His cost of goods has got to be astronomical and he has nothing in common with the types of places that can withstand that. You either need to be a very high-end place (like a steakhouse) or see so much traffic that you're sales are very high (like McDonalds). He's neither.
Today I had the fish tacos (like David says morsels the size of large hushpuppies) and a mango drink. The drink is $1.25 and comes with unlimited refills. The tacos were cheaper than I recalled at $5.95 and were certainly a fine value. As I mentioned before, Grouper is not a cheap fish. Sub catfish and he's still not laughing all the way to the bank. As for the tacos themselves, they were delicious. I love grouper and would gladly pay a few bucks more for the plate.
I was at the restuarant last night for dinner with a party of eight... it was an interesting experience. While the food was quite good we were in the side room and seemed to have been forgotten by the staff. We had to get up to request drinks, turn on the lights and get our bill. Two of the dishes we ordered never arrived and it took quite awhile to get the food. During the dinner I chalked it up to two waitresses working the entire room, the size of the party and/or a language barrier however after reading the above comments now I wonder if the service was typical. The food we did get was great, personally I had the chicken soup and fish tacos. The tacos were yummy but were missing the micro cilantro. The soup was also nice, big hunks of chicken and vegetables in a spicy broth but instead of chunks of advocado there was a scoop of guacamole. All in all I think I will go back but with a smaller party and more time to kill.
micro cilantro?
Detlechef - your reviews are always right on. I'm going to do my best to have lunch their next week and will post my opinion.
If only they served mango margaritas!
Just to add my two cents. The missus and I had dinner at Tonali last night (a Wednesday) around 7:30 PM.
First off, the service was attentive, a pleasant surprise given some of the posts here. Our waiter was a little slow to come take our initial order, but afterward 1) everything arrived in a timely fashion; 2) the waiter checked with us regularly to make sure everything was fine, 3) our water and my agua fresca (a delicious horchata, $1.25 with unlimited refills, quite a deal!) were frequently refilled, and 4) we were given silverware.
Now for the food: it was pretty darn good, and at this price point I'd say it was phenomenal. We started with some sopes that were beautifully presented and quite delicious; the chicken had a hint of chipolte smoke and heat but was not overwhelmed by them, and the masa puffs on which they sat were fresh, tender, and delicious. The complimentary salsa and tortilla chips were also delicious; the salsa was mild but quite fresh, and the tortilla chips were clearly fried to order.
For entrees, my wife had the tacos al pastor, which were prepared with beef rather than pork--unusual in my experience, but it worked so why not? I had a mussel stew with homemade chorizo. The mussels were a little overcooked--the only disappointment of the evening--but the broth more than made up for this small problem. It was delicious; the kitchen understands this and serves the stew with some bread for sopping up broth.
We will return, and soon. Thanks to everyone who recommended this place!
Just for statistical sampling purposes, I'll chime in with our service experience at Tonali (about one month ago). On a weekend early evening, without many tables filled, the two waitresses had no concept of how to handle a restaurant floor. Everything took forever... getting the menus, getting a glass of water, getting a basket of chips (it finally arrived after our entrees), getting the entrees, and getting the check. We were interested in trying some dessert, but couldn't justify the additional investment of time. I watched a family of four come in and eventually leave again after having to wait about 10 minutes just to get a menu or glass of water for their squirming kids.
We both tried various tacos (going along with the generally recommended opinion on several boards). While not bad, none of the tacos seemed at all exceptional, and as noted, portions were small. Prices felt reasonable.
We liked the freshness of the salsa with the chips, but felt it badly needed more kick.
We won't be back until and unless the majority of posted reviews start indicating some attention to service. Spending an entire evening on a few small tacos is not a reasonable use of my time.
I discovered Tonali a few weeks ago and my guess is that they've made dramatic improvements on their service since the concerns above were posted. We were not only totally impressed with the food, we also couldn't believe how friendly and attentive the staff were...so much so that we left talking about it both times we went. This is by far our new favorite restaurant in the Triangle! Delicious fresh food with beautiful presentation, the right prices and portions, and delightful staff and chef/owner! I'm recommending this place to everyone.
We ate there for lunch back in August. Arriving after the rush, the service was a bit scattered, but without any real incidents. And the host and hostess were charming. Fish tacos were tasty, if smallish. As described above. We also shared the ceviche, which was delicious. Between the two items, a good lunch. My friend had a seared beef entree that was generously portioned and reportedly quite tasty.
I've heard other tales of the service falling apart under stress. If you are concerned about the service stories, I'd recommend visiting outside of the rush hours. But since then I've also heard that there have been effective improvements made. I chalk the early stories up to growing pains, more expertise in the back than the front of the house, and being a victim of their own early success.
They are a bit out of the way for me, but I will definitely return.

Excellent. Followed recipe exactly.
Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Mango Sambal
Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Sambal is a generic name for any paste-like condiment made with chiles. Authentic versions tend to be extremely hot. This Malaysian-influenced mango sambal works well with the Southern-style barbeque spice rub. The vinegar gives the condiment a flavor that's reminiscent of a North Carolina mop sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and 1/4 cup sambal)

More than 7000 commercial building owners have been sent a survey by the council asking about issues they face when financing quake strengthening and insurance premiums.
The surveys are expected back around mid-November and the council's number crunchers will then take time to collate the information.
Councillor and built environment portfolio leader Iona Pannett told NBR ONLINE she has received plenty of anecdotal evidence of people having enormous problems with their insurance.
"It is absolutely the top issue in the quake strengthening area because premiums have just gone through the roof. What we're hearing is it's not just for quake-prone buildings."
She wants information on what people think about earthquake strengthening, what advice they have been given and information on how much people are paying in premiums.
"We are asking building owners to let us know what the problems and barriers are for them to be able to complete strengthening works and, if they are planning work, how quickly they plan to do it."
Ms Pannett hopes to use the information in the council's review of its earthquake-prone buildings policy and its advocacy to government when the royal commission into the Canterbury quakes reports back later this year.
The city council has identified 570 inner-city commercial buildings which need quake strengthening.

Grand Canyon falls to Cal State San Bernardino at NCAA II Volleyball West Region Semifinals
Courtesy GCU Sports Information
LAIE, Hawai'i - One of Grand Canyon volleyball's most successful seasons in its 31-year history came to a close on Friday night, Nov. 30, in Laie, Hawai'i.
In the NCAA Division II West Region Semifinal - equaling the farthest the team has advanced in NCAA play - the Antelopes were defeated by four-time region champion and defending national runner-up CSU San Bernardino 3-2 at Cannon Activities Center on the campus of BYU-Hawaii.
The Antelopes lost by set scores of 26-24, 25-21, 21-25, 25-27, 15-12.
GCU finished the year 24-6. Its .800 winning percentage is the second best in school history, only topped by the 1993 team that reached the region semis and finished 25-5 (.833).
"As disappointing as the loss is, if you're going to lose, that's how you want to go out," GCU Head Coach Kris Naber said.
The Antelopes rallied after dropping the first two sets. They trailed 8-4 in the fifth before forcing a tie at 8-8 and later at 12-12, before the Coyotes scored the final three points.
Sophomore libero Mackenzie Phelps tied a school mark for digs in a match with 45, matching Jeri Dallman who had 45 on Sept. 19, 1990, in a match against Alaska-Anchorage. The Pacific West Conference Libero of the Year and All-West Region selection set a new school mark for digs in a season with 661.
It was GCU's second straight trip to the NCAA II Women's Volleyball Championship Tournament and only the fourth in the program's history. Three have come under Naber.
The quarterfinal win over San Francisco State on Nov. 29 was GCU's first NCAA tournament win since 1993.
"From last year to this year, we made huge strides," Naber, whose program has won 20 or more matches in three of the last four seasons, said. "We showed a lot of composure under pressure situations (down 2-0 tonight and 2-1 Thursday). We had a lot of fight to come back. I'm very proud of them."
In the third set, GCU stayed alive by fighting through 14 ties, the last coming at 20-20. Phelps gave GCU the lead with a service ace. Kristen Johannsen followed with one of her three solo blocks, and Kaitlynn Ausmus, who was the co-match leader with 15 kills, finished off her swing for a 23-20 lead. The set finished with two kills from Johannsen.
The Antelopes led most of the fourth set inlcuding a seven-point lead at 16-9, but the Coyotes made them earn the 2-2 tie. GCU led 24-21 after a Sydney McDowell kill, but a service error, CSUSB service ace and a Coyote kill knotted the match, 24-24.
Johannsen gave GCU a brief lead at 25-24 with a block. Tied at 25, GCU scored off an attack error and Caelen Hiller (photo) ace to force the fifth set.
Down 8-4 in the fifth, Kristen Preach started a four-point run with a kill. The senior setter just missed a triple-double in her final collegiate match, garnering nine kills, 49 assists and 15 digs.
CSUSB had two attack errors and GCU scored on double-block from Preach and senior Shelby Taylor, who finished with a match-high seven blocks, including two solos.
GCU trailed by two, 12-10, when a pair of kills by McDowell, who finished with a season-high 14, knotted it at 12.
After 14 ties, San Bernardino won the second set 25-21. The last tie was 18-18 on a Taylor kill, but the Coyotes followed with a four-point run. There were eight first-set ties.
GCU thwarted three set points, getting kills from Hiller and Preach, along with a Coyote attack error to tie it at 24-24.
Senior outside hitter Janae Giles finished with 12 kills and 16 digs, while senior Sara Bowden had 12 digs and Hiller posted 14 digs and five kills. Johannsen had six kills and five total blocks.
GCU finished the season ranked No. 20 in the nation by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The Antelopes were in the rankings every week, excluding the AVCA preseason poll.
"From Aug. 13 until now, this team never stopped getting better and wanting to get better," Naber said. "This group will have a special place in a lot of people's hearts. They've set the expectations high on and off the court for GCU volleyball."

Today's flashback takes you all the way back to my first semester at FIT, when I actually had time to attend school events. Even some theat were held at another campus, just like this seminar held a Parson's The New School.
The title was, Fashion Cuts: Public Media and the Fashioning of Reality. Such a proper title considering the speaker, Tim Gunn and Scott Schuman from the Satorialist. Luckily for me to be able to attend this public seminar, since I am technically at competing student, or at least that is something I learned when I attended.
The topic on the table was discussing how to be create, how Scott started up the Satorialist, and how Tim Gunn has changed from an advisor at Parson's to a tv show host. Their words of advice were inspiring in the fact that anything can be done with the proper amount of energy and enthusiasm. Most of the discussion focused on Scott though, he gave a large overview of how he decided to create his street style blog. Explaining his successes from the beginning to where he was at a year ago. Considering he is still growing, he is someone with an exponential amount of knowledge.

2013 Charity Bonfire Information – Saturday 2nd Nov
Harrogate Round Table are back again for their 42nd successive year as organisers of the 2013 Charity Bonfire and this year is shaping up to be the best yet!
Being one of the few remaining bonfire events where an entry fee is not charged, Harrogate Round Table are reliant on the generosity of the public on the evening to donate as much as they can afford to this years supported charity.
This years' Bonfire Chairman Ben Merrick said:
"With over 11,000 people expected (weather permitting), this is by far the biggest single FREE public gathering of the year in Harrogate. No Round Table volunteers get paid for any of the hard work that goes into planning this event, building the bonfire or clearing up so the public can be assured that ALL the money they donate is going to a very worthy cause. Without those donations, this sensational FREE event would sadly not happen.
This is our 42nd year of organising this event, we always try to ensure a great warm family feel where everyone can watch the display in safety. You sense a real community spirit and it's great to see so many families enjoying the event"
Approx. Event Timings
Stray FM Build Up from 6pm
Bonfire Lit – 6:30pm
Fireworks – 7.15pm
Directions & Parking.
The bonfire is held on the grassy area known as the Stray directly to the south of the Empress pub which is HG1 4SP – click here to see in google maps. There is limited parking in the immediate vicinity so the area is likely to be highly congested.
If you want to avoid being sat in lengthy queues, we strongly recommend leaving your vehicle in the town centre (free parking after 6pm) and walking from there which is only around 15 mins, or take public transport where possible. Why not make an evening of it by having a bite to eat in one of the many local award winning restaurants?
If you would like to help out or find out more about Round Table and the great fun you can have raising money for local charities click here or drop us a line.

While over the years i have collected and had some nice guns and i still plan on having a few more. I find myself these days leaning towards. the 22lr of all styles. they are fun to shoot and cheap to boot and what you can do with the gun itself is only limited with your imagination. Anybody else feel this way?

I always have projects in various stages of completion, always. When one starts cutting me too deep financially to finish immediately, I love falling back to one of my 10/22's that I thought was "finished". Fun to tweak for free or little cash outlay and easy and cheap enough to burn off some rounds when it's "finished" again.
"People live too long, dogs don't live long enough" - FTF Member-
I do love's me some .22's I have a few .22 rifles, now I'm trying to save up for a good .22 pistol.
If they are the true classics I do enjoy them more than I should. However it seems 95% of the guns are inexpensive kids guns. However when I see a Winchester, 1890, 1906, 61, 62, 63, 52, or a Remington 12, or Browning 22 automatic to name a few I get all a twitter.
I have 4- 22 rifles and 2- 22 pistols. They get shot the most.

I am who I am and your approval is not needed.
I love shooting my 22s. Got four rifles and two pistols. Looking to add one more of each very soon. (Ruger 10/22 and hopefully a 1911 22.)
Hi. My name is C3, and I'm a .22aholic.
The difference between 22s and heroin- with heroin, first taste is free, and you do not have to hang out in dingy alleys to buy 22s. Before the HORRIBLE boating accident, I had a Remington Speedmaster, a Gamemaster, and Targetmaster. 4 of the 550-1s. 2 Marlin 39As. 3 of the Savage/Stevens 86C's. About a dozen Mossberg 22s from the 40's and 50's. And a few 22 pistols and revolvers.
They just sorta sneak up on you, you tell yourself I can quit any time, it is not expensive to feed them, and pretty soon, dealers and friends know you as the guy that likes Mossbergs, or Remingtons, or whatever.
It's too lstr for me, save yourself- and pass me those really small cleaning patches.....
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I have said all along
"One can never have too many 22lr's"!!
I would post how many I do have, both handguns and rifles but if my wife found out.....
Here are some
I've got 8 and they're all rifles. No handguns yet but I'm working on it. I keep on thinking that my next gun will be something other than a .22 but I keep coming back to them. Right now I'm lusting after a CZ 452 Trainer even though I just bought a Henry Frontier that I haven't even shot yet.
Thank God I'm not the only one. I don't have a clue how many .22s I own, but it never seems like enough.

Mega Man also called Rock is the main character in Mega Man Dies At The End.
Mega Man found out that Roll was kidnapped by Dr. Wily and he went off to save her but he didn't find her for 15 years and eventually gave up his career as Mega Man. A stranger came to ask Rock (Mega Man) to come on a mission. After he refuses and says, "you got the wrong guy", the stranger tells him that they know where "she" is. Rock then agrees to join (after a bit of confusion during the "you got the wrong guy"). Rock then puts back on his outfit and helmet once again, becoming Mega Man.

Event Dates: Saturday 2nd of May 2015 to Sunday 3rd of May 2015
Australia's only International Booktown hosts the Clunes Booktown Festival over the weekend of 2 to the 3 May 2015.
The annual festival is approaching its ninth year and regularly attracts between 18,000 and 20,000 people who come for the opportunity to browse through thousands and thousands of books - rare, new, second hand and out of print across all genres.
What better way to celebrate books than to browse the more than 50 book shops and stalls that transform the township of Clunes each May.
The concentration of books - new, second-hand, collectable and out-of-print across all genres - surpasses any capital city in Australia. Nowhere else can you find so many book traders within a square kilometre than over the Festival weekend.
The writers' talks, the Children's Booktown precinct, Punch and Judy, face painting and the hay bale maze, street theatre, brass bands, wine and food complete the festival.
Look out for special offers closer to the festival when booking your weekend festival pass online.
If you missed the last festival, Clunes permanent booksellers offer great browsing throughout the year and there is also a year-round monthly writers' talks program Sunday Selection. Full details on the website.

In the event that an employee has used all of his/her accumulated sick leave and/or has exhausted benefits under a family and medical leave of absence and is unable to return to work due to personal illness or injury, an unpaid sick leave of absence may be requested.
All regular employees who have completed their first one-hundred and twenty (120) days of employment are eligible to apply.
An unpaid sick leave of absence will not be approved for more than twelve (12) months from the last day paid. See extended absences for additional information regarding employment status.
An approved unpaid sick leave of absence will not result in any loss of seniority, or benefits that are related to seniority, provided that the employee returns to work (either in the previous position or in a different benefits-eligible position) within the leave of absence provisions and no later than the date initially approved for the end of the leave period. Certain benefits can be retained while on leave of absence. Human Resources should be contacted for details. In general:
A staff member granted an unpaid sick leave is not guaranteed a position at the end of that leave. However, every effort will be made by Human Resources to assist the employee in securing a position comparable to the position held prior to leave. To facilitate this, the employee must contact Human Resources at least two (2) weeks before a leave of absence expires to begin searching for a position.
Before end of leave
- Reemployment privilege: May apply for positions as internal candidate through Job Opportunity Program.
- Benefits: If a position is secured, employee retains seniority and benefits related to seniority.
For ninety days after end of approved leave
- Reemployment privilege: Eligible to apply for internally posted positions.
- Benefits: If a position is secured, employee is considered a new hire.
More than ninety days after the end of approved leave
- Reemployment privilege: May apply for externally posted positions.
- Benefits: If a position is secured, employee is considered a new hire.
Physician's release to return to work. If the employee secures a position before the end of the approved unpaid sick leave of absence, the employee must present to his/her supervisor a physician's release to return to work. A copy of this statement is to be forwarded to Human Resources for retention in the employee's document file. Under no circumstances is an employee allowed to return to work without providing this statement.

After losing her only child and then being widowed, a distraught Sarah Winchester asked a medium why she had suffered such terrible losses. The medium felt the Winchester family was cursed and was being pursued by the ghosts of those killed by Winchester rifles, which were made by Sarah's husband's company. Furthermore, the medium warned Sarah that if she didn't start building a house for the ghosts, she too would die. The medium also warned Sarah that the ghosts wouldn't be happy if the house was ever completed. Advice in hand, Sarah moved out to California and started building a home that would end up being under constant construction until she died. Sarah even built a séance room, which she used every night. According to the stories surrounding the home, every morning Sarah told the builders what to do, based on what the spirits had told her the night before during the séance.
The nonstop construction and unusual instructions Sarah gave the builders resulted in the now-famous "Mystery House," which has a host of bizarre features. Some staircases lead nowhere; some doors open to nothing. Tour groups visiting the house even have to be warned by guides not to wander off, lest they get lost for hours in the maze of confusing architecture. Stairs and doors are just the half of it. There are even secret passageways said to have been used by Sarah to move through her home in a less than logical manner, the better to confuse any ghosts that could be tracking her steps. It's theorized that some of the home's strange features may have had practical reasons behind them. For example, the "Switchback Staircase," with steps only two inches high and running up seven "flights" to go just nine feet up, may have been built to accommodate Sarah's severe arthritis and ease her difficulties [source: Winchester Mystery House].
It's anyone's guess whether or not the spirits ever told Sarah how famous her strange house would one day become. Perhaps they wanted to keep her in the dark.
