More than just the day-glo glitz of the casinos and cheap all-you-can-eat buffets, Nevada has a rich heritage of Wild West action and a historical charm all its own. Once the scene of a bustling gold and silver mining industry, it now offers activities that attract a wide range of visitors, from outdoor adventurists and ghost-town enthusiasts to slick-city high rollers looking for the big win.
As a newcomer to the state of Nevada, you'll want to read DMV.org articles about getting a driver license and registering your car. We've also got the skinny on Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office hours and locations across the state.
Nevada makes things easy on new residents, thanks to this New Resident Guide prepared by the DMV. This document contains a quick rundown on all the things you'll need to do those transactions, including where to go.

State Attractions
This state is home to the largest network of casinos in the entire country, with most of the action happening right in Las Vegas. From Steve Wynn's latest venture to the classic glamour of the Stardust, you'll find world-class accommodation, dining, and entertainment for every taste.
Up north you'll find gambling hotspots in Reno, billed as "The Biggest Little City in the World," as well as Wendover, Sparks, Carson City, and Elko.
With population centers mainly situated in the extreme south and extreme west of the state, it's safe to say that most of the land area of Nevada is wilderness. That means it's a haven for outdoor lovers, with its deserts, mountains, and lakes.
Hikers, campers, rock climbers, and even skiers will all find a lot to love about the state. Check out the Lake Mead Recreation Area, Red Rock Canyon, Heavenly Ski Resort, and Big Bend State Park.
If you love the Old West, you'll want to visit the state's ghost towns and historic mining towns. Many of these historic towns have nothing more than a few old buildings, but some, like Virginia City and Tonopah, have tourist information and even tours.
The Black Rock Desert outside of Reno is the annual home of Burning Man, a technicolor event filled with interactive art installations, themed camps, and a thriving group of people who embrace the ideals of community, participation, self-expression, and self-reliance.
UFO hunters will inevitably make the trek to the Groom Lake military facility, about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. This facility has long been considered the true location of Area 51, the top-secret outpost that spawned millions of rumors of conspiracy theories and alien findings. The military facility is off-limits to visitors, but nearby town Rachel, situated on the Extraterrestrial Highway, will have more than enough information and merchandise to fuel any alien-related ideas you might have.

Whether looking for a job or enrolling the kids in a new school, here's a great place to start:
History of Nevada
Originally belonging to Washoe, Paiute, and Western Shoshone Native American tribes, the land now known as Nevada became part of the Mexican territories in the 1820's. In 1846, the Mexico-American war began, and its end resulted in the area being offered to the United States as part of the Utah territory. Mormon settlers from Utah began to spread into the outlying regions, and one of Nevada's first towns, Mormon Station, was founded in 1851.
Though gold had been discovered in the state as early as 1849, the mineral-rich Comstock Lode was found in 1859, giving rise to the state's real mining boom and attracting thousands more settlers into the area.
In March of 1861, the area separated from the then-established state of Utah and became known as the territory of Nevada. Ignoring the vast desert that makes up a large portion of the state, the name was a shortened form of sierra nevada, which means "snowy mountain range" in Spanish.
President Abraham Lincoln declared Nevada an official state in 1864, and many think his decision was meant to ensure his chance of reelection―and that of the United States' Republican-dominated Congress.
In the 1880s, the glory days of the gold rush began to fade, and the population of the once-growing state began to disappear. By the 1890s, the population had reached an all-time low and there was talk from Washington about repealing Nevada's statehood. Luckily, silver was discovered in Tonopah in 1900, and the state's population once again soared.
While Nevada is well-known for its gambling, the practice was outlawed in 1909 as part of a nationwide antigambling platform. But when the mining industry began to decrease drastically in the 1920s, the state legalized gambling again in 1931 as a temporary measure to stabilize the economy and gain some revenue. Revenue was indeed gained―lots of it―and no one really seriously talked about re-outlawing gambling again.
Casinos cropped up in Las Vegas and Reno, and drew permanent residents seeking employment in the many cash-generating businesses that were thriving. Tourism boomed and in 2004 a record 50 million visitors made Nevada their destination of choice for leisure, entertainment, and (of course) the hope for a winning jackpot.
It's probably pretty obvious that the main industries in Nevada are tourism and mining. Agricultural specialties are hay, cattle, potatoes, and dairy products. Besides gold and silver, the state mines other minerals like copper and lithium. Primarily because of the booming tourist industry, Nevada is one of the few states in the U.S. that does not levy a personal income tax.Other Topics in This SectionFind Your

At Year's End, Where Are We On Comprehensive Immigration Reform?
December 23, 2005
Washington DC - As 2005 winds down and Congress wraps up for the holidays, advocates for comprehensive immigration reform are looking to next year and to the U.S. Senate. According to Senate leadership, we can expect a debate early next year on measures that address immigration reform in ways that go beyond the enforcement-only approach embodied in legislation recently passed by the House of Representatives. The following is a statement by Angela Kelley, Deputy Director of the National Immigration Forum, a pro-immigrant advocacy organization in Washington.
2005 began with promise as the President again turned to immigration reform after his 2004 election victory. By spring, bipartisan bills to comprehensively address immigration reform and border security were introduced in both Houses of Congress. The most forward-thinking of them, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005, was introduced May 12 by Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA) in the Senate and Reps. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) in the House.
It was a remarkable year of organizing and advocacy. Immigrant communities, religious leaders, and business and labor organizations began to raise their voices for a more realistic way of managing and regulating immigration. More than 200 editorials embracing comprehensive immigration reform and the Secure America Act were published by nearly 100 newspapers across the country. Hearings held during the summer in the Senate Judiciary Committee suggested the Senate would move swiftly to consider the Secure America Act and other legislative proposals. However, Supreme Court nominations and other business delayed Senate action until next year.
In the meantime, the House leadership responded to organizing and advocacy of a different sort. Egged on by the simplistic protests of talk radio hosts, talk television hosts, and Minutemen, the House leadership went first. Intentionally ignoring calls from responsible leaders in both chambers, in both parties, and from the White House, House leaders deliberately kept any hint of comprehensive reform from being considered. Instead, they passed the harshest piece of enforcement-only, anti-immigration legislation in seventy years.
The House-passed bill relies on the failed enforcement-only approaches that have not worked for two decades. A $2.2 billion wall and sweeping new criminal penalties for citizens and legal immigrants continues the charade that the way to gain control of our borders is to suppress immigration, driving more immigrants further into the black market. In a year in which the debate seemed to be moving forward towards a workable solution, House leaders took a giant leap backwards by passing its bill. The hollowness of the political exercise brought on by House leaders desperate for a cheap win was brought home by the numerous Republicans and Democrats who stood up to declare that enforcement alone - which is what the House bill promised - will not fix America's immigration woes until our laws are made enforceable.
Unfortunately, even if the unworkable and punitive measures in the House bill never become law, the bill could have significant consequences. By polarizing and dumbing down the debate over a serious policy matter, hardliners in the House threaten to derail the enactment of legislation that will deliver operational control of the border and coherent regulation of immigration flows. Those House leaders who railed about illegality on the House floor just made it harder to craft a policy that will effectively reduce illegality by restoring the rule of law at the border and in the workplace.
Next year, the Senate will address immigration and border security issues. Instead of the wedge politics just witnessed in the House, the Senate is expected to have a serious discussion of how to create a safe, legal and orderly immigration system that works for the American people. We certainly hope so.
It is time to get back to the serious business at hand. Instead of slogans, let's debate solutions. Instead of indulging the fiction that 11 million people already here illegally, raising families, working, and paying taxes will somehow be dislodged from jobs and leave the country, let's debate how best to bring them out of the shadows so that they are known to the government and part of a legal, orderly process. Instead of pretending that 5,000 visas a year for full-time service workers is enough when the annual flow of such workers is estimated at 500,000, let's debate how to best address the mismatch between the supply of legal immigration visas in our immigration system and the demand for legal immigration created by our economy. Instead of ignoring the huge backlogs and long delays that divide families for years, even decades, let's debate how to reduce family backlogs so that our overall system is anchored in fairness and balance. And instead of playing wedge politics and election-year games with an important policy issue, let's forge a bipartisan majority for workable reforms that will deliver what the American people want: an orderly immigration system that lives up to our traditions as both a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.

"I still think the Superkick is the best finisher ever. It was just so good. There's so many [favorites]. I think Antonio Cesaro's finish right now is cool. I always loved the Piledriver, so an adaptation of the Piledriver is very awesome to me. I've always loved submission holds, so I love the Sharpshooter, that sort of thing. I love Dean Malenko's Cloverleaf. The things that I never really liked as finishers were the stuff that was wacky, stuff like the Von Erichs, who did the Tornado Punch, you know what I mean? The Ultimate Warrior, even though he was my favorite as a kid, had the Press Slam, and then he'd hit the ropes a couple of times and give 'em the Big Splash, the Hulk Hogan Legdrop, stuff like that was all stuff where I was just like, 'Eh.' To be fair, I honestly always hated the Rock Bottom. To me, it was just like, 'Uh, that's weird and stupid.'"
- Daniel Bryan discussing finishing moves and how he hates the one used by Rock
Japanese star Kenta Kobayashi, the wrestler who made the Go 2 Sleep finisher internationally famous, could be signed to a developmental deal with WWE soon. He was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center, where he was given a tryout by officials.
While Daniel Bryan was able to dish out a lot of punishment towards his foe, it was Bray Wyatt that stood victoriously at the end of their match at Royal Rumble 2014. Wyatt got the pin fall victory after nail his finisher twice, once of which was done outside the ring.
While he doesn't get to show it off very often on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, Jinder Mahal does actually have a finishing move. It's the camel clutch submission, and it has been recreated in the new WWE 2K14 video game.
"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Maria Kanellis is the latest professional wrestler to do a podcast show. She is doing the show with her fiancee and ROH star Mike Bennett, in order to raise their stock with wrestling fans. The couple has managed to get their show distributed through iTunes.
Mike Bennett made his official debut for ROH at Proving Ground, an event held in Boston. He worked a match against Daniel Puder, the former Tough Enough competitor and WWE star, and lost. Bennett is considered a young guy who should be with the company for the next several years.

Chapter 40 Reviews
It hasn't changed. See chapter 1 for the summary, if necessary.
"And why on earth would he do that?" added Shauna. "He disliked you as much as you disliked him."
Kelly looked up from a letter she had been reading. It had been with the will, and was addressed to her. "Oh come on, you two. You both know why. First of all, he wanted to keep the company in the family as much as possible. And as much as you two may not wish it, I am part of this family. Since he made the will while Mother was still alive, I suspect she had something to do with my getting some of his stock shares. Apparently, he never got around to changing it. And second, neither of you has a head for business or for anything legal. He knew that, in spite of everything, I was the best choice for the job."
"I suppose, now that he's dead, you're going to throw us out of the house," said Laura bitterly.
Kelly looked surprised. "I thought you wanted to leave."
"This is our home. It was Mother's, and she may have left it to you, but it is ours, too."
"So you want to stay here? It's now a home to you? Up till now, you've been calling it a mausoleum."
"Don't be silly, Kel," Shauna said. "That's just the décor. We could change all that and make this a showplace."
"Well, don't start calling decorators right away. I don't want to change anything until we find out who killed Dad and George. And maybe not even then." She turned to Michael. "Do you want one of us to show you the grounds, Michael?"
"Thank you, but I prefer to check around on my own, if you don't mind. But I'd like all you ladies to remain inside, for your own safety, until I get back."
"Of course."
"Well, I don't know about that. I'm tired of staying inside. I want to get out, do things. Why did Daddy think we needed a bodyguard anyway?" said Shauna petulantly.
"That's part of what was in the letter he wrote to me. Apparently he decided to make us part of one of his experiments."
"It seems - according to this letter - that he stumbled on some information that could be worth a lot to some people, and a lot more to others to have it suppressed, or even eliminated. He hypnotized us and planted a different part of the information in each of our subconscious minds."
"Why would he do a thing like that? Why didn't he just tell whoever needed it, or make it public to everyone?"
"Does the letter say anything about what the information is?" asked Michael.
"Not a word. Just that it's vital that it be kept secret for the time being." She looked at the letter again, frowning. "That's odd. Why would he use those words, especially in a letter to be given me after his death?"
"That is strange," Michael replied. "So, since it seems that people would have a good reason for either kidnapping or killing any or all of you, please remain here while I have a look around. I won't be gone long."
They finally agreed, and he left the room and headed out to KITT. As they drove off, he said, "Did you have a chance to examine the estate and the surrounding area, KITT?"
"Yes, Michael, and I must say the security around here is quite impressive."
"And yet someone managed to get on the grounds and plant the bomb in Arthur Peterson's limousine."
"I have to admit, I'm at a loss as to how anyone could have done that, Michael. I have been unable to detect any weak link in the system. It even has a scanner that would detect if anyone was hiding inside any vehicle entering or leaving the premises. And I was able to check the records of the past two weeks. There have been no failures of any kind. It sounds more and more like an inside job."
"But who? One of his daughters? Or one of the employees? Do you have the backgrounds of everyone who works here?"
"Yes I do. All of them check out clean. No one has been fired, and no one seems to have a grudge against him."
"Except maybe for Kelly. You heard her sister say that she disliked her father and vice versa."
"True. Devon is calling, Michael."
Michael punched the code in the terminal above the windshield. "Devon. What's the latest?"
"I was hoping you could tell me. Do you have anything to report?"
"Not really. KITT says the security system is in perfect working order, and has been since well before the limo exploded. He can't detect any way for someone to sneak onto the estate. So it sounds more and more like an inside job. And it seems that the elder daughter and Peterson were not on the best of terms."
"But do you really think she has the expertise to do something like that?"
"KITT, is there anything in her files that would indicate she does?"
"No, Michael," KITT replied. "She holds a degree in business administration, and another in philosophy, but nowhere does it show that she learned anything about explosives."
"What about the other sisters?"
"Neither of them has the expertise either. Their role in the business seems to be minimal, mostly public relations. They handle appearances the family makes, and if there are any out-of-town clients to be entertained, they take care of that, too."
"What about the phone records, Devon? Could any of them have called a professional from the house?"
"I'll have Bonnie check that out right away, Michael. But they didn't confine themselves to the house prior to the explosion. So it would be wise to check the business phone records as well."
"Good idea. In the meantime, I'll check out the garage where the limo was kept. Then I'm off to see Gregory Cameron. Later, Devon." Michael terminated the connection as he and KITT finished their tour and headed behind the mansion

Billionaire Ken Griffin Bought This Restaurant Stock
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A 13G filed with the SEC has disclosed that Citadel Investment Group, which is managed by billionaire Ken Griffin, owns just over 4 million shares of Brinker International (NYSE: EAT), the restaurant company that owns Chili's and Maggiano's Little Italy. According to the filing, this gives Citadel ownership of 5.5% of the total shares outstanding. Our database of 13F filings shows that Citadel had sold shares during the third quarter and only owned about 80,000 shares at the end of September (find more of Griffin's stock picks), so the fund's move into the stock has occurred fairly recently.
Brinker had barely managed to make our list of the ten most popular restaurant stocks among hedge funds for the third quarter of 2012 (see the full rankings); hedge funds tend to be preferring quick service restaurants such as McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) or Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX). For example, billionaire Ken Fisher's Fisher Asset Management owned 2.1 million shares of Brinker at the end of the quarter, but had much larger positions in other restaurant stocks (including McDonald's). Check out Fisher's favorite stocks.
In its most recent quarter, Brinker reported a 2% increase in revenue versus a year earlier. With restaurant expenses seeing very little growth, earnings were up 18%. While we doubt that Brinker will continue that growth rate, particularly as most of it came from better margins rather than expanding the business, the stock trades at only 16 times trailing earnings and so even moderate improvement in the bottom line would justify the current price. Sell-side analyst estimates have Brinker's forward P/E, for the fiscal year ending in June 2014, at 12. We would probably need to see continued growth in revenue and earnings to convince us that the company will get there, but at this point we'd lean towards buying.
Many quick-service restaurants are growing fairly quickly (Starbucks, to take an example, reported revenue growth of 11% in its most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year, and has announced plans to significantly increase its store count). However, we're not very optimistic on quick-service restaurant stocks as they tend to carry high multiples: Starbucks is trading at 30 times trailing earnings, nearly double Brinker's P/E multiple. McDonald's is an exception to the general trend; it is actually priced modestly, at trailing and forward P/Es of 17 and 16 respectively. Note that this places it about even with Brinker, even though McDonald's has actually been seeing lower sales and net income than a year ago. Of course the company does have a powerful brand and likely merits something of a premium for that, but Brinker appears fairly undervalued relative to quick service restaurants.
Of course we can also consider other full service restaurants such as Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) (owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster as well as several smaller restaurant brands) and DineEquity (NYSE: DIN), which owns Applebee's and IHOP. These restaurant stocks are even cheaper, relative to their earnings, than Brinker: Darden's trailing P/E is 12 while DineEquity's is only 9. DineEquity is a bit of a special case as that company moves towards more of a franchise model; while the stock is up 49% in the last year, the most recent data shows that 12% of the outstanding shares are held short.
It could be a good value opportunity, but there are enough complications that it's not a screaming buy. Darden looks appealing, both compared to Brinker and to the quick service restaurants we've discussed. Not only does it match a value-level multiple with modest growth in its business, it pays a dividend yield of over 4% and, perhaps surprisingly for a business that would be dependent on consumer spending, the stock's beta is only 0.7. We think that it would be a good stock to buy.
We do think that Brinker looks interesting, and that there's a good chance Griffin's investment in the stock will pay off. We certainly think that the spread between full service and quick service restaurants has gotten a bit wider than the growth potential of the two types of businesses. Darden, however, might be an even better value.

RBI eased norms to refinance ECB and allowed banks to approve even those cases where the average maturity period of fresh borrowings exceeds residual maturity of existing loan.
The euro stayed weak against the dollar in Asia as investors awaited eurozone data and a monthly policy meeting of the European Central Bank.
Traders cited caution ahead of ECB policy meeting later in the day, and sharp gains in oil prices overnight.
Analysts say it may be too early for the announcement of such measures at Thursday's meeting of the ECB governing council.
ECB Prez Draghi said that the bank was prepared to respond with all its available tools should inflation in the euro zone drop further.
ECB president Mario Draghi said that he did not see a risk of widespread asset bubbles in the eurozone, even if some markets were "frothy."
After the ECB cut interest rates in June and promised banks cheap long-term loans starting in September, about all that is left is printing money to buy bonds.
European Central Bank image was restored when senior bond holders of Portugal based Banco Espirito Santo were bailed-in where ECB was major creditor.

Apple: a Pick for Long Term Investors?
By andy cheung - November 19, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, SNE
As one of the world's most watched companies, it isn't hard to find information on the recent performance of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). There's no doubt investors have been well rewarded over the last ten years and even year to date it's up over 30%, despite dropping from its record high of over $700 per share in mid-September. But for long term investors, the attractiveness of a more »

An interesting thing happened at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in July (2013), to little fanfare and even less media coverage; the VA approved the addition of the "Hammer of Thor" to their list of symbols allowed to be placed on the tombstones at the grave sites of veterans who are buried in veteran cemeteries. The newly approved symbol is intended for the practitioners of a form of paganism that worships the Norse pantheon, including Thor, and looks like … [Read more...]

'''Rats on Cocaine''' is a web animation of two lab rats named Cage and Alice, living in a narcotic testing facility.
With me so far?
They spend their time getting high on coke, insulting each other, beating each other to bloody pulps and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having sex]].
I've lost you, haven't I?
All you need to know is that it is '''''NSFW'''''. Its made by [[http://www.apocalypsecartoons.com/ Apocalypse Cartoons]], who specialize in pitch black comedy. Hell, the two other cartoons are about a pedophile priest and an ''aborted fetus''.
'''This cartoon provides examples of:'''

A blog that will simply keep track of my strength/fitness and health/wellness goals and my lifting regime for any given day, occasional body measurement updates, some advice or personal opinions and experiences regarding certain aspects of strength/fitness/health/nutrition, and maybe some inspiring or motivational pictures, videos, and quotes. I suppose I'm doing this more for myself than anything else, so I can keep my routines organized and see what works best for me, through being able to look back at everything I've done and the success and progress that I've had. But, I'm also looking to help or inspire others as well, who are also looking to improve their body or strength levels and overall physical fitness or athletic abilities. For me, it's not about starting and finishing, its about starting and continuing - since "finishing" suggests that you will bring it to a stop. I don't plan on stopping. I plan on improving even more, day in and day out.

To do list:
Can't wait.
For those of you have been on a hiatus as well" you with me?
July 1st, lets get it?
July 1st.
Get ready for it.
Hey, what's up everyone?
Its been almost a year since I posted on here.
If you didn't know, about 11 months ago, I broke my ankle
and a short while before that I injured my left shoulder
and more recently I injured my right shoulder.
Subsequently, I haven't worked out in 11 months.
Not an ounce, besides the manual labor that I do at work.
I've gained roughly 20lbs in the past year due to my inactivity.
I will start working out again next Monday
and log my progress on a new fitness blog.
I will re-add the individuals who've kept in contact with me on this blog and then also add the blogs that I enjoy most (active fitblrs).
considering my ankle still isn't completely healed,
(its probably roughly around 70% healed)
I'm going to start very light and progress very gradually.
This week, I'm doing a fruit and water diet because I've been feeling groggy lately.
I believe this diet will reawaken my energy levels and motivation to workout.
Aside from that,
I will probably start taking more photos and even videotaping my workouts by around mid-summer.
(don't quote me on that tho).
I hope all of you have been doing well and not laying on your asses for a year like I was.
As you may have noticed,
I've been pretty inconsistent
with posting and reblogging
and all that.
This is primarily due to the fact
that I'm still injured (since early April)
and unable to workout my lower body
after having sustained another injury (happened late January)
that made me have to stop working out
my upper body.
That being said,
I'm going to physical therapy tomorrow
and what not
and I will hopefully get motivated
and get back into the swing of things.
I may just make/use an entirely different tumblr
and start my posting
and fitness blogging
completely from scratch.
after all these months of inactivity,
the gains that I have made in my lifts
are probably undoubtably
back to what they were
or maybe even lower
given that I haven't been working either
and my job was quite the workout
(lots of lifting, flipping, walking,
and carrying things
ranging from 5lbs to 85+lbs)
so, yeah.
Anyways, that's about it.
Thank you all for subscribing to my blog
and much success to you
on your fitness journey's as well.
Check out the newest article regarding the future of food
by Brian St. Pierre, CSCS/CISSN.
Here's a snippet:
Imagine it's the year 2035. You're a tourist in New York City. You're also hungry, and craving a burger and a beer you wander into a nondescript East Village gastropub, the type that's found in almost any city. So what's on the menu?
As an appetizer, there's a salad of blue lettuce sprinkled with elderflowers and cloudberries, or a Zanzibari pizza – Indian-spiced rabbit meat served on a piece of naan bread.
For the main course, you can choose between fish – the "catch of the day" is plucked from a nearby indoor fish farm – or you can order a burger, made of cow, bison, chicken, or pork, fresh out of the bioreactor. "We have an excellent meat-grower," your waitress tells you.
This is a scenario imagined by Josh Schonwald in his new book, The Taste of Tomorrow: Dispatches from the Future of Food. For the past several years, he's been on a mission to discover the salad, meat, seafood, and Pad Thai of the future.
He's explored everything from genetically engineered foods and animals – like a cherry tomato modified to carry a lemon basil gene, and the designer cobia fish, which are both said to be delicious – to meat grown in a test tube.

The Wellesley is one of London's newest luxury hotels, situated in a prime location in Knightsbridge, opposite Hyde Park (the former site of Pizza on the Park.)
Walking into the hotel, a grand entrance hallway led to the reception of their Italian restaurant, the Oval, past the main hotel reception, and several adjoining bars and lounges. Staff were friendly throughout, from the doorman, to the hotel reception desk and the restaurant reception.
We had arrived a little early for our dinner slot, so decided to have a pre-dinner glass of bubbly to celebrate P's birthday. While there was a choice of seating areas for this, we decided to go out on to their cigar terrace, since it was a fine, warm evening.
Once the clock struck 19.30, we headed back to the restaurant. The room itself is small, and oval in shape (hence the name), designed in the art deco style which runs throughout the hotel. There's only room for a handful of diners, making it ideal for a quiet couple's dinner.
Despite the diminutive scale of the restaurant (it felt a bit like sitting in a jewel box), there were several waiting staff. Service was friendly and well organised, with seamless transitions between the various staff over the evening, and engaging but not over-attentive service, just the right balance. We ordered from the set dinner menu, which came with a glass of prosecco, The bubbly arrived promptly, together with a tasty amuse bouche of salmon on a crouton.
For the starter, I chose the intriguing-sounding Asparagus Gratin with Sage and Chicken's liver. I like asparagus, sage and liver, but had never tried them combined in one dish. When it arrived,the tender asparagus and well-cooked, meaty liver went together very nicely indeed, with the sage and cheese contributing to a very pleasant combination of flavours and textures-
I opted for Taglioni with Clams and Bottarga for the main course- while not usually a pasta fan, I wanted to see what a fine dining Italian restaurant would do with some boring old pasta. I wasn't disappointed- this turned out to be an absolutely delicious dish, with the taglioni cooked to be just soft enough, and the clams juicy and fresh, while the bottarga added a wonderfully robust, salty flavour-
For dessert, the waitress recommended the Mascarpone Cheese Mousse with Strawberries, and this certainly didn't disappoint either. While I'm more used to Mascarpone in thicker textures, here we had a light, creamy mousse with a generous filling of fresh strawberries- a fine summer dessert, though probably not for anyone on a diet-
P chatted to the waitress, who happened to hail from Hamburg, just like her, and after she realised it was P's birthday, she brought a little birthday cake with a candle, which was a lovely touch-
Overall, the Oval Restaurant can be highly recommended for an intimate dinner, particularly if you're a fan of Art Deco, with charming and engaging staff, and true fine dining Italian cuisine.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 162,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "Loads of features, built like a tank, capable."
Cons: "Less than stellar reliability, fuel economy."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6
"Bought this slightly used for less than 1/2 the sticker price the year it came out (the former owner actually kept the window sticker!). Knew about the reliability issues, so I purchased a 3/36 extended warranty. Boy, was that a great decision! I paid $1995 for the warranty and had well over $9000 in repairs in that 3 year period. Lots of other stupid issues (the biggest is the Crankshaft Position Sensor failures that are rampant throughout the Mercedes product line). My 1992 Ford Explorer (bought new) was bulletproof over that 20-year period. So I'm still scratching my head over the reliability issues. The Mercedes service adviser said that the ML class has gotten much more reliable in the years that have followed, but I definitely will check to confirm that before I buy another. In terms of value, once the big batch of repairs happened, the car has been fairly reliable. Strange, but true. If a repair item comes up, I just pay the $200 to $600 every year or so since the truck has a solid build and lots of features. Buying the current version of this truck would run over $65,000 (mine has loads of options). I drive it hard, and it has been rewarding. The V8 is thirsty (as you'd expect) and requires premium fuel. It needs at least another 50 horsepower, but it still blows off a lot of new vehicles, and the engine is bulletproof (Mercedes is known for that). The transmission is another item. Had it go around the 90,000 mile mark, and I put in a used one - which has held up since then. Lots of safety features and seating for 7 (I have the optional third row seats). I don't use the third [small] row much now since I am not hauling lots of little kids anymore, but the seats can pop right out of the truck (heavy!), or they can stay in place or pivot toward the left and right sides of the truck to give more room in the cargo area. One other thing. This truck EATS brakes! I buy the OEM rotors and pads myself (you can get even cheaper ones but I don't take chances with brakes) and have a local mechanic install them. A LOT cheaper than the $600-800 per end that the dealers charge. I pay more like $250 per end. If you are handy (or have a handy friend), you can buy the parts online and install them far more cheaply than the dealers. Spread across the 10 years I have had the truck, the repairs are not much given what you otherwise get. If the current models really ARE more reliable, I would advise you to consider them."

Jessica - Quietdrive
Was driving home with Izzy after seeing MIB 3 and grabbing Taco Bell and blasting his Pandora station [I had picked The Swellers] when I could have sworn I heard my name in this song.
I check the band/song and sure enough the song title is "Jessica" and it's by this band I know called "Quietdrive". Never have I heard this song and I never really listened to them. This song just makes me feel good. Though the song itself isn't a good note but I fucking LOVE songs with my name in them.
Good job, Quietdrive. I may be listening to you a bit more!

When the Islanders called Andrew MacDonald's name in the 6th round of the 2006 NHL Draft, they had high hopes for the defenseman out of Judique, Nova Scotia. Now as the 2013-14 season rolls around, the Islanders have awarded the hard working MacDonald with an A on his sweater. But that letter is much more than a decoration; it is a declaration that A-Mac is a leader on this young squad.
Questions yielding no answers as of yet continues to be the theme of the New York Islanders defense and goalie situation for the beginning of the 2013-14 season. (flickr/IslesPunkFan)
As the Garth Snow front office era embarks on its eighth season heading the New York Islanders, many believe that the rebuilding period is over and the Isles time is now. The last seven years have been tough for Long Island's team as about the only thing that seemed to be consistent was finishing last in the division and having the lowest payroll in the NHL. Both of these things took a turn for the better last season as Islanders made the playoffs and finished 28th out of 30 teams in payroll.(flickr/IslesPunkFan)
Even though the Islanders dropped their first two split squad preseason games to the Calgary Flames, there was a lot to be happy about looking forward.
There are a lot of questions surrounding the New York Islanders as they head into next season. The biggest one will be whether or not they are capable of making the playoffs for the second year in a row.
The NHL Facebook page recently asked this same question, and many fans were either skeptical, positive or found the idea downright absurd (and these weren't just Rangers fans).
Despite an intense, hard fought playoff series with a very inexperienced roster against the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team that has been one of the most dominant forces of the league for the past few years, many critics are still not convinced that the New York Islanders are a guaranteed playoff team.
And they shouldn't be.
The Islanders were very busy at the start of an off-season that forecasted a flurry of movement from GM Garth Snow. On the agenda was signing a number-one goaltender and top-six forward, both of which took place on July 5th. A few other moves were made to help keep the core intact for many years to come, as well as removing another bad apple from the organization (Photo Credit: Official New York Islanders/Flickr).
After signing forward Peter Regin to what is seemingly a depth signing, the Isles quickly looked to fill the void left in the crease.
The Isles were reportedly interested in goaltender Ray Emery, who ended up signing a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. This forced Snow to return to his original choice for the crease and sign Evgeni Nabokov to another one-year deal at $3.25 million.
At most, the 2013 NHL season has two games remaining. The Chicago Blackhawks have the opportunity to send the Boston Bruins home without any new hardware, as a win tonight would make them this year's Stanley Cup Champions.
With that being said, the New York Islanders organization has been preparing for the NHL Entry draft, as well as free agency.
As we jump ahead to July 5th, there are a handful of players that the Islanders might consider for the 2013-2014 roster that may make them a better contending team for next season's playoff run.
Most NHL fans have been focusing their attention on the NHL playoffs. Both the Kings/Blackhawks and the Penguins/Bruins are in the midst of their Conference Finals match-ups, but rumors and news have continued to run wild surrounding the New York Islanders.
The biggest, and most latest story coming about the Islanders is that number one defenseman and team captain Mark Streit will not be returning next year (Photo Credit: Robert Kowal/Flickr).
After a tremendous 6-4 victory at the Nassau Coliseum that evened up the series 2-2 with the Penguins, the Islanders will head back to Pittsburgh for Game 5. The last time the Isles played in Steel City was Game 2, where the team battled back from a 3-1 defect to win the game 4-3.
Isles Tie Series With Pens at 2 Games Each. Much more exciting hockey to come out of the next three games.

Hrm. I say increase the Divine Plea cooldown EVEN LONGER.
But don't stop there. New Illumination: Your critical heals reduce the cooldown of your Divine Plea by 3 seconds (or whatever).
thebitterfig said...
I do like holy paladins. Only sort of paladin in Live I like. I'm just tossing out a variant on the mana idea that could be kinda fun (reducing long cooldowns is a nifty mechanic they've been adding in a lot these days, and a radically reformulated Illumination could fit the bill, like Shadow Priests and the new Shadow Fiend cooldown mechanics), and not implying I want bad things to happen for Holy Paladins. Sorry if you read it that way, but I don't think I was radically unclear.


text:
As for Dinosaurs Alive! itself, it sort of is what it is. Something a little more imaginative would have been nice and the upcharge is unfortunate but any family attraction at a park that desperately needs them is welcome.
I am not impressed by this addition at all, and if up-charge attractions are the wave of the future at Cedar Fair parks, I expect fan feedback will continue to be mostly negative.

6 tips for hardening buildings against explosions
Building security experts discuss structural, procedural steps organizations can take to mitigate their risks
Tip #3: Use a multi-layered security approach
David Shepherd, CEO of Readiness Resource Group: Like with anything you start like an onion. You can have different (security) layers and start protecting from different directions, different levels, and different technologies from the edge of your property inwards. Depending on the threat you are looking at, you can go with license plate recognition systems, you can do regular camera systems to start with, and you can have checkpoints where you enter a property. You have to look at all the particular ways a person or vehicle is going to be a threat and at stopping them and identifying them to make your facility a more hardened target. The difference between a hard target and a soft target is one word - and that word is accessibility.
Tip #4: Reduce the risks posed by vehicles by creating setback
Randall Nason, vice president and manager of the Security Consulting Group at C.H. Guernsey & Co.: How far back can you push the parking and delivery vehicles away from the building proper? That's key. If you have the real estate and you have the procedures in place to screen delivery trucks and mail and things of that nature... to keep vehicles away from your building, your threat of damage due to a blast event goes down. The overpressure effect goes down quite rapidly as you move that explosive device away from the building. Unfortunately, sometimes you simply don't have the real estate to provide any significant setback. You can use things like berms and planters to deflect the blast and if you're effective in doing that, you can actually reduce the amount of setback you need because the berms or the planters or trees will actually reduce the blast overpressure and that will reduce the amount of real estate you might need. It all boils down to getting those vehicles as far away from the building as you can and keeping them there.
Tip #5: Do your research and take advantage of information sharing programs
Shepherd: You can never know too much. Start looking at newswires and different reports and getting involved with the Homeland Security Information Network (HISN) and your local fusion centers. You can also get involved with different association groups, talking with them about protecting different structures. You've got lessons learned, all the way from Mumbai to the latest attacks that are going on now. What have you done? What should have been done? How was that (attack) prevented? How can these attacks be mitigated? How do you look at that attack and how do you stop it? Homeland security has a lot of different reports you can get. There is not one quick fix answer. You have to do your research and talk to people.
Tip #6: Establish relationships with law enforcement
Nason: To the extent possible, the security manager of a major organization ought to try to establish a working relationship with local law enforcement. It's their job to know, and they are probably the first to hear about (potential security threats)... and if they have a relationship of trust, they can pass that on to the security manager so they can take whatever measures they think are appropriate to protect their building and their people. And, if you can raise that to the federal level, especially if you're a security manager over a geographically diverse enterprise... just to keep a handle on what the law enforcement community think might be happening or coming, it gives you a better opportunity to respond to the threat.

Lincoln, NE (Sports Network) - Keith Appling scored 16 points and Adreian Payne filled out the stat sheet with 15 points and 15 rebounds to help No. 8 Michigan State outlast Nebraska, 73-64, on Saturday.
Derrick Nix also registered a double-double with 13 points and 10 boards for the Spartans (22-4, 11-2 Big Ten), who have won five straight, including knocking off rival Michigan in convincing fashion on Tuesday. Freshman Gary Harris netted 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor in the victory.
Dylan Talley had a game-high 28 points and Shavon Shields scored all of his 19 points in the second half, to go along with 12 rebounds for the Cornhuskers (12-14, 3-10), who have lost two straight and four of their last five games overall.
Shields brought Nebraska within 41-40 on a jumper five-plus minutes into the second half, but that's the closest the Huskers would get. Michigan State then opened things up with a 12-2 surge capped off by Nix's layup with 8 1/2 minutes remaining making it 53-42.
The visitors continued to hold their double-digit lead as the game winded down, although Shields' 3-pointer from the right wing with just 46 seconds remaining briefly closed the deficit to 68-61. MSU, though, which finished the game hitting 23-of-29 from the charity stripe, closed the contest by connecting on 5-of-6 free throws to secure the victory.
Harris' dunk around the midway point of the first half increased MSU's opening edge to 23-12, but the home team utilized a 9-2 swing to get within 25-21 with three minutes remaining before halftime. Each team then registered just four points apiece to close the first half, and the Spartans took a 29-24 margin into the break.
It wasn't the best 20 minutes for either team shooting wise, as MSU connected on 11-of-27 field goals, compared to 9-of-28 for the 'Huskers.
Game Notes
Michigan State faces current No. 1, Indiana on Tuesday with first place up for grabs in the conference ... The visitors won the rebounding battle by a margin of 45-25 ... Appling made 9-of-10 from the free throw line and Payne made 7- of-8 ... Nebraska had just four other players reach the scoreboard, all combined for a total of 17 points.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Oh, I didn't know that. I'm on the highest dose of Zoloft I can be, but I'm only on 300mg of Welbutrin and the highest is 400mg. It's kinda weird how I've been having problems and my psychiatrist hasn't offered to up it. Maybe it's because I do tell him when I accidentally skip doses, which is far too often, so he attributes it to that. I'll try to be better. >_>;;

A recent trending topic on twitter using the hashtag #uglybabynames, has set the social networking site on fire. Twitter users are more than keen to share their ideas of the worst names ever used.
Lets face it... it all started with Tiger Lilly and Prince Michael... those poor children... at the end of the day at 18 then can legally change their name if they dont like it... i had a lot of issues finding names for out babies.. but we got there in the end...
I actually like some of the old names like Dolores, Chauncey, Marty and Mort.
It's the La-a, Nevaeh, Shaneekwa and Sausagea(?) I can't stand!
Sally & Rosie aren't that bad.
I don't mind Nevaeh but the rest I don't really like.
I don't mind Ivy Blue. But not Blue Ivy.
Haha, was just saying Barry is a dying name - who would call their kid Barry! Lots of Nanna names on that list, including mine and my hubbys Nan's names! Ooh and Grandad names, again mine's on there - but it's Ronald, and I expect it to be there, so on that theme, my other grandfather is Clifford, that should be there too! I love the idea of using family names in my kids names, but if we had another boy, Ronald and Clifford would not be used!
Ha, my Great Grandmother's name was Mytle & I loved her. When preg I wanted to use it for a middle name. My cousin gently told me that we ALL loved but nobody was using that name coz it was ugly! Not too sure what's wrong with Gus, Gretle, Rosie or Sally though.
My sis in law in pregnant now her married last name is KIdd she is wanting to name her child Kaos or Danger! This is weird to me. But at the end of the day she likes it.
We gooled illegal baby names there are so many there is this woman in America that named her twin girls syphillis and gonerria because she liked they way it sounded together the nursed tired to tell her they are names of std's not children but her mind was made. that is ugly!
I like blue ivy I think it is special to her parents and has a special meaning, They can tell her later that her name was chosen because of this:
My boys have old fashioned names too.
I have francesco - Frank and Giuseppe -Joe i am trying for a girl her name will be gabrielle - Gabby.
i like a few of the names on the list I know a few people with these names they are not ugly just considered old.

Signed 19 years ago on 13 September 1993, the Oslo Accord is increasingly viewed as a botched attempt at Palestinian independence and a perpetuation and intensification of Israel's colonial project in Palestine.
Protest in the West Bank's Dheisheh refugee camp. The sign reads 'milk and eggs, gas and benzene; it's all expensive, how will our children eat?' (Photo: Thayer Hastings, AIC)
The Oslo agreement, or its official name the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements, subcontracted some responsibility for the occupation to the Palestinian Authority while consolidating Israeli control over resources such as land, water and economic policy. Journalist Amira Hass reported that in 2010 Israeli domination cost the Palestinian economy about $6.8 billion.
In the 2000s, the temporary conditions established by Oslo became increasingly obvious as a perpetuation of the status quo, which furthered Palestinian isolation, dispossession and fragmentation while reinforcing Israeli land and resource appropriation. Furthermore, Oslo provided political cover for inhumane projects such as Israel's 'Security' Wall, ruled illegal in a landmark 2004 International Court of Justice advisory opinion.
Evolving popular protests
While demonstrations against an Islamophobic US-made film spread around the world, in Palestine the focus of protest has remained on local economics.
Over the past two weeks residents of West Bank cities such as Ramallah, Hebron, Nablus, Jenin, Jericho and Bethlehem continued demonstrating against high prices of petrol, bread and electricity; the Paris Protocol, the economic appendix to the Oslo Accord, has become a main target of blame for the high cost of living in the West Bank. Demonstrators also called for the resignation of autocratic Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Fatah-backed President Mahmoud Abbas, who facilitate Israel's multi-faceted control of the West Bank.
In response to increased protests, Fayyad declared an emergency economic package including reduced taxes, prices and partial payment of civil servants' salaries effective Wednesday. The economic easing was financed by a payment of $66 million from the Israeli government to the PA. However, Ma'an News Agency reported that Israel withheld $9 million of the payment.
The Paris Protocol ratified Israeli control of imports, exports, taxes and prices in the occupied Palestinian territory. Last week's $66 million payment was half of the installment 'returned' to the PA each month from taxes Israel collects on the Authority's behalf. $9 million was withheld because of an unpaid bill to the Israeli electric company, a standard practice in Israeli-PA relations.
Even after Prime Minister Fayyad committed to steps for limited economic alleviation on Wednesday, protesters' placards still read: "Down with the Paris Protocol and her mother…Oslo."
Employees of the public sector in the West Bank will strike on Tuesday 18 September in protest of PA economic polices. Additionally, many West Bank schools will strike for half a day on Tuesday.
