For people with a common genetic variation, researchers have discovered signs of the possible onset of Alzheimer's before a patient would be clinically diagnosed by a doctor.
In people with the ApoE4 gene variation, one previously implicated as affecting the likelihood of Alzheimer's, researchers have been able to pinpoint some signs of memory loss beginning in the person's mid- to late-50s -- without the patient having full-blown Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
"[One could argue] we really captured for the first time the onset of Alzheimer's disease," explained Dr. Richard Caselli, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz.
"What's passing as normal aging itself correlates with the most common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease," he said, adding that the symptoms are noticeable in a clinical setting, but not in everyday life.
"It's not the sort of thing that you can look at somebody or they can look at themselves and know."
Researchers caution that when in interpreting the findings, one should keep in mind that people who had shown some memory loss were still functioning normally and having the gene did not impair anyone at an earlier age.
For the study, researchers followed and looked at data for 815 subjects, 317 of whom had the ApoE4 variant. They administered a variety of neuropsychological tests to the patients and found that memory was affected in some patients with the ApoE4 gene as they reached their late 50s and into their 60s.
The study results are published in the most recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"You can start to see cognitive impairment, memory decline, in ApoE4 carriers early, although they're not clinically diagnosed with dementia or mild cognitive impairment," said Rudy Tanzi, director of the genetics and aging unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. "I think it's important that this study has elegantly confirmed what many of us have been dancing around for years."
But researchers caution that ApoE4 is not a gene that by itself determines the fate of a person's brain.
"ApoE4 is not sufficient to give you the disease. It works together with not only your lifestyle and environmental factors…but it works together with other genetic factors, some of which confirm risk…but some of which confirm protection," said Tanzi.
Dr. Richard Lipton, professor and vice chair of neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine concurred.
"Not everyone who carries the E4 gene develops Alzheimer's disease," he wrote in an e-mail to ABC News. "We have 100-year-olds in one of our studies who carry the gene and have no evidence of memory decline. And not everyone who develops Alzheimer's disease has an E4 gene; only about half of people who develop Alzheimer's disease carry an E4 gene."
While another Alzheimer's study published in the most recent New England Journal issue found patients who underwent testing for the ApoE4 gene and received counseling handled it well, researchers generally advised against getting such a genetic test.
"I do not recommend that people go out and have this test," said Caselli. "I think it's an important tool for research right now, but as of this moment there isn't any routine benefit people would get from this information.

Welvista, a nonprofit organization, has developed a successful model committed to improving health and wellness for the uninsured and underinsured by providing access to prescription medications and pediatric dental services. Responding to an unmet need, Welvista grew out of a grassroots movement launched in 1993 in Columbia, South Carolina.
Over the past 18 years, Welvista has evolved into an organization partnering with 15 pharmaceutical companies, who donate medications, and a physician network of over 4,000, making Welvista the largest mail-order pharmacy for the uninsured in the nation. By providing a single point of access to over 200 medications that treat chronic diseases, Welvista is an affordable solution to bridge a tremendous gap in healthcare accessibility. Welvista's effort to make essential medications available has resulted in a decrease in emergency room use and inpatient hospitalizations among our patients in South Carolina. The greater impact on our state is taxpayer dollars saved by reducing reliance on emergency room visits for basic healthcare.
Our pediatric dental centers (SMILES) focus on prevention and early intervention based on the premise that a child must be healthy in order to be ready to learn. Good oral health for children serves as a precursor to adult oral health and is essential for a child's behavioral, speech, language and overall growth and development. Our model creates a private/public partnership which provides children from limited income families in rural communities throughout South Carolina with effective oral healthcare services and education. Smiles goes a long way toward making treatment available for children to prevent more severe, long-term oral health problems.
Welvista has created comprehensive business models of providing essential medications and pediatric dental services to individuals who are unlikely to get help because of their current environment.
Welvista recognized a deficit in the healthcare system and, more significantly, recognized an opportunity for improvement. For over 18 years we have responded to a strong need for prescription assistance within South Carolina and served more than 100,000 patients who received over $150 million worth of free medications. This number is substantial, not only for the patients, but also for the healthcare providers. All of the medications that Welvista provides free are donated by our 15 pharmaceutical partners the cost of which would come directly from core operating budgets of healthcare institutions.
The downturn in the economy has led to increased unemployment, causing many to lose their employment-based coverage, just at a time when many states, facing serious budget deficits, are tightening Medicaid eligibility criteria to save money. These cutbacks have led to increased numbers of people without health insurance. Long-term consequences of high medical care costs can be dramatic, particularly for the uninsured. To obtain needed treatment, the uninsured often rely on local "safety-net" institutions that provide a significant level of services. In 2009, we had a significant increase in the number of uninsured seeking assistance with essential medications to treat chronic diseases.
Welvista has and continues to address the unique challenges faced by its patients. These programs have been developed and tested for over 18 years. Welvista is an innovative model to provide access to medical care with unprecedented partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, free clinics and hospitals to provide health care intervention.

The family of a slain Rockville High School student says she was killed as she was trying to stop a man from committing suicide.
Senior Michelle Miller, 17, of the 5100 block of Russett Road, was found dead Monday morning at the Germantown home of 31-year-old Adam Anthony Arndt, in the 12900 block of Pinnacle Drive. Arndt, a U.S. Army staff sergeant, was also found dead inside the home.
County police are investigating the incident as a murder-suicide, and believe Arndt shot Miller and then himself.
Miller was planning to enter the U.S. Army Reserves after graduating, and Arndt helped recruit her, according to her family.
Arndt contacted Miller Sunday night indicating that he was suicidal, said Tara Brady, Miller's aunt. "She went over to try to talk him out of it."
Police found the two shortly after 10 a.m. the next day.
"She died a hero," Brady told The Gazette Tuesday.
Brady didn't know the details of their relationship, but said Miller had a picture of Arndt on her cell phone.
Miller planned to begin boot camp at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C., in June, and continue her army training in San Antonio, Texas, Brady said. Miller was then going to start a semester late at the University of Arizona, where she would study psychology, Brady said.
"She wanted to council soldiers with [post-traumatic stress disorder] and wounded warriors," Brady said. "She already started training with the Army and just got her uniform."
Arndt, a native of Manitowoc, Wis., has served in the Army since October 2003, and was stationed in Korea and Germany and deployed in Turkey for a year before being assigned to an Army recruiting station in Columbia, Md., in January 2011, according to Mark S. Rickert, an Army spokesman. Arndt received several awards and decorations, but Rickert did not have information about whether Arndt had been injured or was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Army regulations forbid any unofficial social contact between recruiters and applicants or recruits, including any type of romantic or sexual conduct, and it is forbidden for anyone who is the subject of a recruiting effort to enter the home of any recruiter. Furthermore, recruiters may not meet recruits or prospective applicants of the opposite gender without another person present at all times.
Recruiters are trained at Fort Jackson, where they are taught the regulations of recruiting and coached in conducting themselves properly in a civilian environments, wrote Kathleen Walker, a spokeswoman for U.S. Army Recruiting Command, in an email.
Brady said there was a female recruiter that also worked with Miller, and that Arndt was "a little higher up" in the organization than she was.
Montgomery County Public Schools provided counseling and support services to Rockville students Tuesday.
"This is a very sad day for us, we're grieving deeply at our school," Principal Debra S. Munk told reporters. Miller, who played on the school's varsity lacrosse team, was well-known in the school as a great student, wonderful athlete and a terrific person, Munk said.
Lacrosse coach Caitlin Ulmer described Miller as a bright, enthusiastic young woman.
"Michelle was our firecracker," Ulmer said. "She made everyone want to be better." Ulmer wore a T-shirt that read "#1 on the field, #1 in our hearts," and said Miller's team members were wearing similar shirts Tuesday as a tribute.
Ulmer said the military seemed like a good fit for Miller. "It's up, it's active, it's about a team. And that really was who Michelle was," Ulmer said. "She wanted to help people, particularly people who suffered through combat."
Munk said she didn't know how Miller and Arndt became acquainted or if they met at the school, but expected that information to be revealed as part of the police investigation.
Military recruiters from all branches of the service come to the school, as with every public high school, Munk said.
Army recruiters typically visit local high schools, but specific routines vary from recruiter to recruiter, Rickert wrote.
A remembrance for Miller was scheduled to be held Tuesday evening at Rockville High School.

Times may have changed, but courtesy never goes out of style. In today's world sometimes it's complicated to figure out how to do the right thing. Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at www.news-sentinel.com.
Q. If my children say thank you, in person, to friends and relatives for their gifts, is it essential for them to write a thank-you note, too? What about a phone thank-you for out-of-town relatives?
A. Saying thank you in person for those holiday gifts is usually sufficient. However, sitting down and writing a thank-you note after the holidays or birthdays have come and gone can be great practice for the future. A handwritten thank-you note is still a hallmark for good manners, and everyone appreciates receiving them.
Often, those holiday gatherings and birthday celebrations are very busy with lots of people in attendance, and a proper verbal thank-you may be hard to get in. Writing a note after the event allows the children to go through the gifts, one by one, and be sure as to who gave them what gift. The note reinforces how appreciative the individual is for the giver's thoughtfulness in taking the time to remember them in such a special way. An additional line or two about the gift and mentioning how they will use it is sufficient.
Today, with Skype and FaceTime calls, a phone thank-you is on a more personal level. This too, is adequate, but again, writing a note in addition to a call adds an extra punch for those who sent a gift long distance, and it develops good habits in children (and adults.) The same would go for an email thank-you.
When your children do say thank you in person, make sure they show adequate appreciation for any gift, even one that they are not too thrilled about. Regardless of whether they have a duplicate or it isn't anything they would ever want, the point is that someone went out of his or her way to gift them. And that is the most important point of all.
If a gift comes via the mail or another delivery service and it goes unacknowledged, that could be reason enough for someone to take you or your children off his or her gift list. Don't let your children take for granted that they will be receiving gifts without a proper thank-you.

What songs will we sing to our cities in the future? What will they sound like?
I am trying to gather and assemble a kind of future sonic map of as many cities of the world as possible. If you were to find a place of seclusion in your city or a site that you wish could quieten down, what sound would you make? How could your voice resonate and make peace with its built environment?
Jun 24 2012: Great project Jason... do connect with me directly is I can help in any way. Are you aware of the UK Sound Map project run by the British Library and AudioBoo? The results are still available here: http://sounds.bl.uk/Sound-Maps/UK-Soundmap. It could be a way to go for your project too. I can introduce you to Mark Rock at AudioBoo if you like.
Best, JulianJun 24 2012: Now there's a future worth having! You might enjoy my blog about silence here:
http://juliantreasure.blogspot.co.uk/2008/08/sound-of-silence.htmlJul 5 2012: There are many shades of 'quiet' I believe. I am interested in ways in which we as city dwellers can work towards countering intrusive noise through exploring the quieter spaces, the less noisy zones.
Dzung Jonny
Jul 1 2012: What about a song of birds for all cities???Jun 24 2012: Practicing onomatopoeia is also good training as you say - ruff ruff, caw caw, oink oink. Funny how generally animals always seem to have this doubling thing going on. Perhaps they are on a constant delay setting? Or they like their action words repeated.
- +1
Jun 29 2012: I think the doubling effect is a human accent on other "specieal" languages, or something people generally fabricated.
I always wonder, what do humans sound like to each species of animals?
Do we sound anything like other primates to other animals?Jun 24 2012: In my silent arena, I would practice my animal calls and hope they sound as soothing as the actual animal making those sounds. *tweet, tweet* *meow* *cough, cough* That hurt my throat.....haha.
I think that having your voice musically trained is a must for everyone at least once in their life. I think in the future, everyone will be musically trained and anyone can sing decently. =)
Ann Massal
Jun 23 2012: John Cage's silence will be the new motto. People will gather to listen to the silence all together. Silence will become the new prayer of those seeking for a more spiritual journey.Jun 23 2012: I suppose I am really interested in how we can generate counter sounds to the noises around us. The singer Lisa Gerrard talks of singing with the sound of cars under bridges and how the pure voice against the drone of machines can somehow soften that. If you were to stand and hum almost inaudibly but constantly in the middle of a busy mall would it begin to lessen the surrounding noise or would it just create new meaning for that space, just for you.
- +1
Jun 23 2012: If I was not going to quite a place down and replace it with sound information like music or a single person speaking, I would not change a thing. I love the white noise of my city. For me, it represents peoples lives and the choices they constantly make; to just sit down and listen while thinking about that is beautiful to me. I think if I were to just stand a hum it would just be a representation of me as a part of the whole.Jun 22 2012: I've Been Working on the Railroad tune first then words. Slow it"s texas our texas> fast_it"s the
aggie war Hymn. So to me it's the words and poetry.Jul 18 2012: i love both ideas! perhaps a combined mix of natural sound in headphones with your real voice singing in the space... that would be kind of beautiful.Jul 18 2012: If I had to use my voice, I'd probably sing songs that don't require a lot of concentration or range. "If I had a hammer" and "Where have all the flowers gone" come to mind.
If you mean a place of seclusion that just needs the passing traffic bleeped out, I would choose water--trickling water, a brook, or a waterfall.Jul 14 2012: To find a place to sing a song I would have to leave this earth.Jul 14 2012: If we are referring to a song here, then I guess John Lennon's epic 'Imagine' is a truly classic example of ageless and boundless music which has meaning even in today's context. So, I believe that even the future generation shall be able to relate to the ideologies presented in the song.
Jul 18 2012: A beautiful choice and yes, eternally resonant/relevant.Jul 14 2012: we will all beatboxJul 11 2012: Umm... are you talking about music? In that case it will probably be rock/rap/country/hip-hop.
Jul 18 2012: Music, sounds, incantations... Whatever you like!Jul 5 2012: How do jason. If you want quite why would it make any noise? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of quiteJun 30 2012: Audio, sight, and smell are very powerful influences. Anywhere I am in the world he sound of children playing and the smell of bread baking reminds me of my mother. Crashing waves bring memories of a specific place and associates it with specific people. Look out over a lake surrounded by a forest is a calming effect. Audio tapes of rain, sea noises, birds, etc ... sell because they are calming and relax you and maybe even put you to sleep.
We each have "triggers" that alert us and also "triggers" that calm us.
All the best. Bob.
Aja B.
Jun 29 2012: I hope you'll share the results of your project when you finish it, Jason. People generally associate silence in cities with eeriness... and the same is true for natural settings, isn't it?

If the solution to our many transportation problems eliminates motor vehicles, what will be the soundscape of the city? Probably not birdsong and wind through tree branches. I'm trying to imagine what rush hour around Grand Central would sound like without the engines, the honking, the sirens.... difficult for me to separate it all out. :)
Jul 18 2012: I guess it's about finding those small spaces, hidden locations where quiet (not silence) might be. And one can always experience 'quiet' of the mind amongst noise and people too.Jun 24 2012: yep - noise and toxic pollution. i love that moment late at night when traffic lessens and the other sounds have a chance to creep in.Jun 24 2012: the streets and roads - remove the noisy intrusion that is the motorcar..Jun 22 2012: If I were to find a place of seclusion or a site I wanted to quiet down, I would make as little sound as possible there.
Jun 23 2012: That's the spirit. I've often been in cities or just noisy environments and tried to will silence through the very act of doing and saying nothing. Sometimes it works.Jun 22 2012: There aren't many quite places here, but I feel like this song has a way of capturing any place and making it serene:
of course in a place where it's always loud sometimes you have to speak up, and for that I might like to say:
"majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand, biggest solutions"
-The Idiots Are Taking Over, NOFX
*I too hope I haven't misinterpreted the spirit of this post :-)Jun 21 2012: I hope I have caught the proper spirit of this and will not be misinterpretted but what about Shakira's "Underneath your clothes..................... there is an endless story. I think it is true of all cities and of all people.

Arcade Fire
Arcade Fire are a Canadian rock band based in Montreal, Canada. They are fronted by husband-and-wife duo Win Butler and Regine Chassange and also include members Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Jeremy Gara and Tim Kingsbury. Arcade Fire's debut album, 'Funeral', was released in 2005 - its name was inspired because four of the band's members had recently lost loved ones. The LP received great critical acclaim and was voted the second best album of the year by NME. Two years later, they released their follow-up 'Neon Bible' and then, in 2009, released the double-album 'The Suburbs': the LP won Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and was given a 9/10 review by NME. After a four-year break, Arcade Fire returned with their fourth album 'Reflektor', released in October 2013. The LP, which was co-produced by LCD Soundystem man James Murphy, received widespread praise and also featured a contribution by David Bowie on the title track. Influenced by Chassagne's Haitian roots and carnival music, it received an 8/10 review from NME. Following the album's release, the band headlined Glastonbury in June 2014.

Latest fine dining reviews
The latest fine dining reviews from critic Peter M. Gianotti.
Hana(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Hana, Port Washington: Hana is Long Island's new sushi destination, opening opposite the railroad station in Port Washington, with three-star cuisine. And the cooked is just as flavorful as the raw.
Scarpetta Beach(Credit: Aaron Zebrook)
Scarpetta Beach (at Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa), Montauk: Scarpetta Beach makes the biggest splash of the summer and turns Gurney's oceanfront resort in Montauk into a dining destination.
Michaelangelo's Wine Bar(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Michaelangelo's Wine Bar, Massapequa Park: This city-inspired, savory snack of a restaurant offers good wines and the casual food that goes with them.
Mio Sushi & Steakhouse(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Mio Sushi & Steakhouse, East Northport: The noise you hear is coming from Mio Sushi & Steakhouse in East Northport, where the uncooked fish-and-hibachi specialist seems like a party in progress. Join in.
Chama Rodizio(Credit: Marisol Diaz)
Chama Rodizio, Glen Cove: It's meat, meat, meat, plus a few good fish, at Portuguese-Brazilian barbecue spot Chama in Glen Cove.
ASA Tapas N Sushi(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
ASA Tapas N Sushi, Huntington: ASA brings together the cuisines of Japan and Peru with flair and artistry in downtown Huntington.
Artaux Fine Foods(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Artaux Fine Foods, Sea Cliff: Artaux Fine Foods is Sea Cliff's new star, as the respected caterer opens a stylish, distinctive restaurant.
Momi Ramen(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Momi Ramen, East Hampton: Noodlemania hits the Hamptons with the opening of Momi Ramen, the very good offspring of the Miami restaurant, where wheat noodles and long-simmered pork-bone broth reign.
Lola(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Lola, Great Neck: Lola has remade itself, with a more casual style, more moderate prices and more big North African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors.
Highway Restaurant and Bar(Credit: Nicole Horton)
Highway Restaurant and Bar, East Hampton: Many restaurants have tanked in this East Hampton spot. Veterans will recall the quick exits of Gulf Stream Grill, Rubi Red, Rugosa and Highway Diner, among others. But the latter's successor, Highway Restaurant and Bar, looks like it has staying power. The handsome, contemporary American has markedly improved service, and food from chef Justin Finney?s kitchen that often is very good.
Lost and Found(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Lost and Found, Long Beach: Chef-owner Alexis Trolf offers a quirky, highly personal spot with about 30-some seats and an array of small plates meant for sharing. Recommended: vitello tonnato (pictured), a chilled veal dish with tuna-sparked mayo.; truffled potatoes with aioli; charred octopus; chile-lime roasted chicken; and dry-aged rib-eye steak.
Winston's Bar and Grill(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Winston's Bar and Grill, East Hampton: Winston's Bar and Grill lights up the summer in East Hampton with Caribbean flair and more. Ready for fried lobster?
Boca Kitchen Bar(Credit: Benjamin Petit)
Boca Kitchen Bar, Glen Cove: This spot offers a waterside, summery setting, and a generally good mix of seafood and Latin cuisines.
The Oar(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
The Oar, Patchogue: The Oar in Patchogue powers you to seafood and steak, and doubtless a few drinks, while providing a very summery water view.
Akira Steak House & Sushi Bar(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Akira Steak House & Sushi Bar, St. James: This eatery adds to the rush of Asian-fusion restaurants on Long Island. The new spot has a sushi bar, hibachi tables and many specialties. It's best, however, for sashimi.
Orient Odyssey(Credit: Nicole Horton)
Orient Odyssey, Jericho: This eatery is the years most awaited restaurant. The Chinese spot is the offspring of The Orient in Bethpage. It can be both excellent and erratic, sometimes during the same meal. Best for dim sum, especially served from rolling carts on weekends; and for dishes such as sauteed, cubed flounder with chives and crisp fried chicken with garlic.
Kenta(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Kenta, Melville: This Asian-and-New American restaurant, heightens the competition with its very good, sometimes excellent fare, under executive chef Jason Lee. Kenta moves into the site recently occupied by Nisen 110. Visit for standout sashimi and sushi plus dishes such as organic chicken with garlic and avocado toast with burrata cheese. Service has improved a lot, too.
Gran Paradiso(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
Gran Paradiso, Island Park: Though this eatery may have nothing to do with Italy's alpine national park, it still has dependably fine food and gracious, friendly service. Recommended: pan-seared pork chop (pictured), tomato risotto and chicken Montagnola.
Vortex Asian Bistro(Credit: Heather Walsh)
Vortex Asian Bistro, Port Jefferson Station: Sharp and bright, this restaurant combines Asian fusion with Japanese cuisine. The result: nimble, creative, very good. Recommended: crisp-skinned red snapper (pictured), Kumamoto oysters and maguro tuna and salmon.
Plates South Asian Tapas(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Plates South Asian Tapas, Huntington: This sleek, contemporary addition to downtown Huntington focuses mainly on Indian and Pakistani fare. Recommended: tokri chaat (pictured), samosas and qeema naan.
Lisbon Cafe
Lisbon Cafe, Carle Place: This Portuguese restaurant is an offspring of Mineola mainstay Heart of Portugal. It's a cozy space that serves up food just as good, and sometimes better, than it's sister restaurant. Recommended: bacalhau a lagareiro (cod with roasted peppers, onions, potatoes, olive oil and garlic), chouriço (pork sausage), caldo verde (kale-and-potato soup).
Mannino's Italian Kitchen & Lounge(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Mannino's Italian Kitchen & Lounge, Commack: Of the three branches of Mannino's on Long Island, this spot is the largest. This sprawling, two-story affair prepares Italian-American favorites very well. Recommended: grilled octopus, cavatelli with olive oil and garlic, beef braciola.
La Pala(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
La Pala , Glen Cove: Bustling, friendly and full of hearty, good food, La Pala has found an instant niche in downtown Glen Cove. Focusing on traditional Italian cuisine, this cozy restaurant hits the mark. Recommended: four-seasons pizza (pictured), eggplant croquettes, "Parmesan trio."
Viaggio Tapas(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Viaggio Tapas, Rockville Centre: While other restaurants annex the word "tapas" almost as fast and freely as they appropriate "bistro" and "grill," Rockville Centre?s Viaggio Tapas earns the right. The look is mainly exposed brick and unvarnished wood, with some windowlike accents and stylized artwork. Recommended: smoked Basque oysters (pictured), seafood paella, zucchini flatbread.
Koi Kokoro(Credit: Doug Young)
Koi Kokoro, Islip: Koi Kokoro in Islip looks pared down, streamlined and minimalist, but the food is a different story. The modest storefront spot prepares fine, traditional sushi. The kitchen goes in for a bright, stretch-the-definition spin on tapas -- and succeeds. Recommended: Kokoro "bon bomb", Miru mountain roll, Miru mountain
Amara Kitchen & Cocktails(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Amara Kitchen & Cocktails, Blue Point: A sprawling, mostly Greek, renovated restaurant, Amara Kitchen & Cocktails moved into the former quarters of Blue. Its contemporary style gives this Blue Point restaurant a nice overall ambience, but its fare at times falls flat. Recommended: pan-seared dry scallops (pictured), hand-rolled pita and saganaki.
Kurofune(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Kurofune, Commack: Recently under new ownership, Kurofune Japanese Restaurant has been serving Commack for the last two decades. The current version is a lot better than its predecessor, with a more polished dining room and sushi bar, as well as an updated menu with a few pleasant surprises. Recommended: the rainbow roll, soba soup and fluke usuzukuri.
Hush Bistro(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Hush Bistro, Farmingdale: Meticulously designed, the almost industrial-style space is decorated with reclaimed wood and vintage scones. The space is small -- it fits only 26 diners -- but the flavors are big. Meals here are thoughtful and flavorful. Recommended: Berkshire pork chop (pictured), lobster bisque and house-smoked ribs.
P.J. Clarke's(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
P.J. Clarke's, Woodbury: The newest P.J. Clarke's has uncorked in Woodbury, leading with eight burgers and six ryes. It's precisely designed and polished, and you can have a pretty good meal here if you order carefully. Recommended: the "Cadillac" burger (pictured), lobster-salad roll and dry-aged sirloin steak.
The Refuge(Credit: Newsday / Audrey C. Tiernan)
The Refuge, Melville: The Refuge Food & Spirits, heir to Four Food Studio, is a bold, whimsical redesign that almost turns the site into a movie set with amusement-park flair. The vibe inside is eclectic, with distressed wood, no chairs that match and a pop-and-rock soundtrack. With excellent Latin fare and tasty Italian dishes, you can tell the party is just getting started. Recommended: paella (pictured), baked eggplant with pappardelle and ropa vieja nachos.
Imperial Meat Company(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Imperial Meat Company, Huntington: Sleek, neon-lit and clubby, IMC (Imperial Meat Company) erases all memories of Buoy One, the classic fish restaurant that used to occupy this prime Main Street location. Though excessive in style, the menu is far more simple. Recommended: filet mignon (pictured), lobster-salad sliders and foie gras.
The Arden(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
The Arden, Port Jefferson: Situated above a Starbucks in the town of Port Jefferson is The Arden. Enter at street level, pass a velvet rope line and climb a seasonally decorated stairway to reach the "ultra lounge" for "vibe dining." Recommended: tuna two ways (pictured), fig-and-goat cheese flatbread and root-beer braised short ribs.
110 Japan(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
110 Japan, Huntington Station: 110 Japan opens opposite the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station, and owner Sonny Ling's showcase offers a colorful, something-for-everyone approach. The eye-catching presentations for much of the food suit the surroundings. And the flavors, while neither bold nor subtle, are fresh and focused. Recommended: House-made lobster bisque(pictured), Miyazaki roll and Miyazaki short ribs.
Grotta di Fuoco(Credit: Linda Rosier)
Grotta di Fuoco, Long Beach: Exposed brick and industrial metal steps give this spot a Brooklyn-esque appeal, but it's the food that will really catch your attention at Grotta di Fuoco in Long Beach. From start to finish, this "cave of fire" is smokin'. Recommended: Baccalá alla puttanesca (pictured), tre porcellini pizza and fettuccine alla carbonara.
Brook23 bar + kitchen(Credit: Barbara Alper)
brook23 bar + kitchen, Lynbrook: Lynrbook's newest gastropub, brook23 bar + kitchen, is devoted to craft beers on tap, fare that goes with brews, major TV sports and the perpetual pursuit of a good time. Choose wisely and you can have a tasty meal -- and a fantastic brew. Recommended: Duck fries, "crispy double cheese" sandwich and their house burger (pictured).
Caci North Fork(Credit: Randee Daddona)
Caci North Fork, Southold: A rustic spot that already has a niche on Main Road in Southold, Caci North Fork is an experience for expertly prepared food, served in a contemporary dining room that creates a look free of interruptions. Recommended: Seared duck breast with apple chutney (pictured), potato gnocchi and bistecca alla Fiorentina.
Cafe Testarossa(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
Cafe Testarossa, Syosset: A newly renovated interior brings in more subdued and soothing artwork at Cafe Testarossa in Syosset, but chef-owner Billy Sansone's meticulous cooking, from crudo to meatballs, is humming, with heightened flavor and refined style. Recommended: Seared swordfish (pictured), pan-seared halibut and poached pear-and-red beet salad.
Kashi Sushi Lounge(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Kashi Sushi Lounge, Syosset: The newly opened third branch of Kashi Sushi Lounge in Syosset makes the branches in Huntington and Rockville Centre seem like vow-of-silence retreat houses. You come here for a show, and you get it, in the design of the spot itself and on the plate. Recommended: Takayama sushi roll (pictured), sashimi and beef tenderloin stir-fry.
Pentimento(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Pentimento, Stony Brook: New chef, Massimo Fedozzi, has transformed Pentimento into a destination for regional Italian fare with the taste of authenticity. Start with well-sourced cheeses and cured meats, but order small plates and save room for the exceptional pastas. Recommended: Pan-seared pork chop is paired with braised cabbage (pictured), veal-filled agnolotti del plin with porcini mushrooms and Peconic Bay scallops.
Swallow(Credit: Tadej Znidarcic)
Swallow, Huntington: At the newly expanded Swallow, the theme is small plates, and the results are big. (The sibling Swallow East also flies high.) Recommended: soy-braised short ribs with green onion, cashews and chilies (pictured); grilled baby octopus with pomegranate seeds, pancetta and shishito peppers; grilled skirt steak with horseradish, capers, shallots and a hint of pinot noir; shrimp po'boy with heirloom tomatoes and sauce rémoulade; deviled eggs with Serrano ham and chipotle pepper; Vietnamese barbecue pork bun; butternut-squash cappuccino; Key lime pie.
True American Kitchen(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)

George Martin's Grillfire(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
George Martin's Grillfire, Syosset: This third Long Island Grillfire is a bit different from the branches in Merrick and Rockville Centre, with a more ambitious menu and style, plus some higher prices. The look is mainly modern, mostly striking, in earth tones, with splashes of color, stone-like veneers and a popular bar with the obligatory TVs tuned to sports. Recommended: flat-iron steak and sesame-crusted tuna equal updated surf-and-turf.
Tony Colombos Italian Bistro(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Tony Colombos Italian Bistro, Rockville Centre: Tony Colombos in Rockville Centre is the joint effort of chef Tony Colombo, formerly of Cirella's in Melville, and Art Gustafson, chef-owner of Chadwicks American Chophouse & Bar near the Rockville Centre railroad station. Filament light bulbs give it a contemporary accent, and a caricature of actress Sophia Loren takes up an exposed-brick wall in the dining room gives off a cool vibe. Recommended: spaghetti and meatballs, Beef braciola, Pappardelle alla Bolognese, rice balls, striped bass.
Moonstone(Credit: Newsday / Erica Marcus)
Moonstone, Great Neck: Sleek and contemporary, bright and handsome and with reliable a repertoire, this gem is a welcome addition to LI's dwindling Chinese restaurant scene.

Recommended: scallop BLT (pictured), the grilled flatbread du jour, short-rib burger with Cheddar cheese, smoked pork belly with maple-bean ragout.
The Seawater Grill(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
The Seawater Grill, Montauk: At Gurney's Montauk Resort and Seawater Spa, you'll find more than just a great view thanks to the restaurant's playful molecular gastronomy plus good sushi and comfort fare.

Cinque Terre(Credit: Jeremy Bales)

Nissos(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
Nissos, Syosset: Dressed in bright white and Aegean blue, the new Greek restaurant is airy and fresh, too, from the billowy, sail-like cloth above the main dining area to the display of the day's catch on ice.

Killian McHugh (Killians commercial workshop). Killian is a casting director at Allison Horn Casting so he begins each class as if it were a real commercial audition. After we are all done we come into the room and watch our auditions. He gives us corrections, and we do it again. We usually work two to three times a class. What Killian teaches you as a casting director is why most people don't book commercials. He will realte it to a casting that just took place and tell you why some actors got the call back and others didn't and then he will tell you why the actors who booked the job booked the job. Most of the time the people who get the call back and the job are the one's who do the smallest thing. I'm not going to tell you what they are cause I want you to take his class but it has nothing to do with acting.
|Sean Penn
I'm in Mike Pointer's level II class right now. I agree that Mike isn't for everyone but he's a straight up guy who tells it like it is. You just have to understand where he's coming from. He's of the belief that actors act to make money, not spend their entire lives taking classes. He's also coming at this from a commercial perspective. You won't learn to work opposite Meryl Streep from taking his class. But I believe he is teaching what you need to know to book a 30 second spot.
Is he a little full of himself? Sure. Is he a little long winded with his stories? Sure. But he is entertaining and I believe that all (ok most) of his stories are being told for a reason. Some of which you may not fully get until you find yourself in a certain situation. Then it hits you...Oh yeah, Mike told me this could happen...
As for price? 210.00 for 4 weeks does not seem unreasonable to me. Especially when he lets you make payments each week. How is this taking advantage of anyone? Are classes supposed to be free?
I didn't word it properly the first time.
It's $210 for 4 weeks. NOT $210 each week for 4 weeks.
|Kevin Bacon
Ha ha! Well that's MUCH better. I thought, $210 per class? That is so horrible(but I wouldn't put it above some people in this industry for trying). Actually, $210 for 4 weeks is VERY fair and competitive with other classes in town. Thanks for clarifying!
|Johnny Depp
DSFA, have you or has anyone else taken the free class Mike Pointer does with "Hey I saw your commercial"? If you have, what did you think of it?
Regardless if you take the class or not, you'll still get something from the free class. Mike covers stuff on the business side of acting in the class and makes it clear that he's not trying to sell his class.
Just go. You don't have anything to lose by going. He's not going to cry because you didn't sign up for his class.
|Sean Penn
On Mike's website you have to pay like $20 to attend a free seminar. I don't want to do that. Can you just show up to a free seminar, do you call? How does that whole thing work?
DON'T pay that deposit! No need to call either.
Just get there EARLY! He also gives out some cool stuff like Top Agency guides if you're one of the earlier people.
|Johnny Depp
Actually, I went to Mike Pointer's free class last month, and he only gave out door prizes to the people who paid the $24.99 seat holding fee.
You don't have to pay the seat holding fee if you don't want to. But if you want one of the prizes he gives out, he did only give them to the people who put in the deposit.
He must have changed his door prize policy. I didn't pay that deposit and got a door prize.
|Sean Penn
I think the thing that is good about Killian McHugh is that he doesn't make his living teaching classes. He makes his living as a commercial casting director so he sees everyday people making simple mistakes that cost them the job. When I say simple mistakes I mean simple mistakes. He's not telling you what he wants to see or what he thinks you should do, he's telling you exactly what the directors and execs are telling him as a casting director they want from a commercial actor and he is passing that valubale information on to you the actor. He's also very straight forward and doesn't hold your hand. The class is conducted as a real audition. Every student works two to three times a class in every scenario. Of course anything in life is what you make it but I don't think anyone would be dissapointed if they took his class.
I would recommend Carolyne barry any day. she is to the point, but it comes from a good place and a acting business perspective.she'll what will work and not. after i took her class, i was well informed and equipped.i did an agent submission before i took her class and on-one responded then after i took her class, she recommended what picture for me to submit for representation and to date i've had 7 agents contact me, with 6 meetings set-up. more than half the agents saw her name on my resume and said they all loved her and her students come equipped. you have to do the work that she tells you too. you get homework, yes homework! just follow and listen to her and it will be the best money you spent on a class. did i forget to mention she was flexible with payment? that is a teacher that cares to me. she's a business so she has to charge but she works with you. she's amazing!!!!!
I took Killian's class a couple of months ago and I feel that he's the best, period.
I know I've been a huge supporter of Mike of Hey, I Saw Your Commercial! but if you want to have the closest experience to an actual commercial audition, then Killian is your man.
Killian was a working commercial actor and is now a full fledged casting director so you get both perspectives and work in an actual casting facility.
Mike and Killian teach similar things with regards to various commercial audition techniques, but Killian goes into greater detail and can be more personal in a much smaller class. You also get to review your tape in Killian's class to see what you did wrong or maybe right.
My new advice is if you're "brand new" then at least take the Level 1 course of Hey, I Saw Your Commercial! to learn the business side of acting (Killian doesn't cover that) and then go to Killian. Or if you're on a budget or more advanced, go to Killian.
I hate dredging up such an old topic, but I'd rather do this than start a new one.
How about the commercial classes taught at Talent To Go? They seem to be taught by Judy Kain and Stephanie Lesh (teen class) with the last class being taught by Francene Selkirk, who I noticed was on your list of good Commercial teachers. I'm tempted to take it, but is it worth it to only have one class taught by Francene? I would go to Killian, but the next available spot is in May. I'm also considering Stuart K Robinson. Thoughts?
Francine is a busy commercial CD and actually it seems to be taught more by Judy Kain who has gotten very good reviews.
Some of the positive comments are it's a small class, they go over head shots, and there's an agent showcase at the end.

Bridgeport Hospital is the winner of the 2013 Press Ganey Commitment to Excellence Award, which was announced Nov. 19 at the Press Ganey National Client Conference in Orlando. The award honors healthcare providers demonstrating continuous improvement – comparing quarterly scores during a two-year period. Bridgeport Hospital achieved this distinction by showing the greatest improvement in physician engagement between January 2011 and January 2013.
In the information submitted to Press Ganey, the hospital attributed its success to the work of its Medical Advisory Panel, a group of community and hospital-based physicians who meet regularly to review presentations about the state of the hospital and medical staff, and projections about health care's future. The group identified opportunities and developed recommendations to address the hospital's most significant issues and implemented them, which has led to improved quality patient experience and operating margin.

I love the show already.
I love the show already.
Pretty sure the TE coach is my new favorite person ever.
"I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. Thats the thing about bear attacks. They come when you least expect it."-Dwight K. Schrute
Mike Brown sitting in a room talking about rosters is awesomely awesome.
I liked the show, the one thing that really ticked me off, was the moment where Brown was asking if they can move someone from defense to tight end. Are the Steelers doing that?
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
"do you have any moves?"
"Well i hope you start incorporating them"
FWIW, I'm not a Bengals fan, and I loved the show. The TE coach is a riot, as is the OL coach making the comment about Andre Smith running with his shirt off (which rocked).
I also loved that Chad Johnson has a giant painting of himself in his house. Comedy GOLD!
Can't wait for next week's episode!
Championships Matter.
25 Years and Counting...
I love how cheap the Bengals charge players for a TV set, can't get much cheaper than that.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
Child Please!!
My favorite part of the show watching Chad giving his explanation of his favorite new term.

Episode 2 tonight!
They're supposed to cover Carson/Jordan Palmer, his ankle injury, some with Maualuga, and talk about Kenny Watson being cut.
Carson's "hand problem" was one of the funnier things I've seen in a while.
This show just keeps getting better.

- Chad's hotel room phone ringing as fans watching live start to call the room number.
- Chad discussing his latest merchandising opportunities with potential for "Child Please" T-Shirts
- Chad saying he would whoop Shaq in a fight, a football catching contest and free-throw shooting contest.
I know Mr. 85 is a bit of a polarizing figure, but I love this kinda stuff. It's real, and it's fun.

Daddy and Pappa Open Up About Estelle's Closet
Lately we've been getting a lot of questions about Estelle's luxury items. The questions are split into two camps. One camp wants to know if we will adopt them; the other is questioning our parenting in buying these items. I'd like to address both. It's true that we do buy a lot of high-end items […] [Read More]

Rant - I just spoke to one of my friends who was just stopped by 3 cops (yes, 3) in Crown Heights for running a red light while on his bike. According to him, no cars where in sight. The fine for this violation was $270. Conversely, a red light camera ticket for an automobile is $50. I realize a camera cannot identify the driver, but seriously which can potentially cause more damage - a speeding car or a bicyclist.
During the last six months, a number of my friends have been given a variety of bike related tickets - from no helmet, to walking their bikes on the sidewalk into a building. Although, I appreciate the NYC police department's concern for the public's well being, to be honest they should know better. I cannot believe that the police does not have anything better to do in Crown Heights. Perhaps go after the guys who are doing wheelies on their dirt bikes on Eastern Parkway, or the 4-wheel ATVs that speed down Lincoln Place. How about the drug deals that take place in the open on Franklin Ave and Nostrand or the teenagers that smoke pot and drink 40s out in the open. Do we not have any more significant quality of life crimes to go after?
sounds like your friend has had other red light tickets. the fee goes up after the first red light ticket, and again after the second one. live and learn.
and alas, what ever you do there will always be a worse offense. its pretty facile to complain that all the other offenses should be enforced before they enforce the thing you do.
i feel your pain. im no angel on my bike. the cops enforce what is easiest to enforce so tell your friend to watch the lights and be aware of his surroundings. really, he ran a light in front of three cops?
I asked the same question about whether he had other outstanding tickets and he is new to NY so no other tickets. I guess I am just frustrated...
I don't believe you need prior tickets to get hit with the $270 fine.
This article seems to agree: http://bikenyc.org/q-i-got-red-light-ticket-today-270-there-must-be-mistake-right
Sadly yes, a cyclist can get fined the same as a car for running a red light. I'm not going to start the debate whether or not bikes should run red lights.
I've been saying this for a while on this board but the NYPD doesn't give a shit about anything that isn't a gun crime or isn't an easy way to make their quota. It seems their deathly afraid of doing anything that could be mistaken for actual police work.
I don't get why their going after bikes though. The last time I cyclist killed someone other than themselves was 2006. So yes the NYPD's actions are infuriating.
Were all the tickets written by the 77th precinct? I wasn't aware the 77th was taking part in the city wide totally spontaneous and no way planed out ticketing blitz. What intersections were the tickets issued at?
They're going after bikes because of high-level directives to calm the bicycling culture, which until the early naughts was relatively small in numbers and totally unrestrained by law and decorum.
Bloomberg's policies, bolstered by social trends around the country, have greatly increased the presence of bicyclists in the city, as well as the amenities available to them. The other side of this is the aggressive policing, which is aimed to make cyclists think twice before running red lights or riding on sidewalks.
Even as a bicyclist who has personally been ticketed in seemingly absurd ways, I have to say it's effective at changing people's behaviors and I see the rationale behind it.
There's no law as far as I know for riding with or without a helmet. I think it's recommended or there might be a law for those under under 14. Also no one over the age of 14 should be riding on a sidewalk.
I'll only make this point and I have been a bike rider in NYC (four boroughs) for over 45 years. You asked for bike lanes. You got them and of course they do make it safer for bike riders but somebody has to pay for them and they're taking it out of the pockets of bike riders. I don't agree with this but that's what I think.
Bike lanes are not funded by tickets from bikers breaking the laws. It is a federal program.
Program Funding:
The BND project is financed through the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) program. This federal program provides funding for the planning, design, and development of bikeways as a means of:
Improving air quality,
Reducing congestion on existing roadways,
Helping to provide for lower overall transportation costs.
And, now here are some PDFs for everyone: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/bike/mp.shtml
The truth is that every licensed driver has had to at least familiarize themselves with local traffic laws as part of the process of getting licensed. The expectation is that they are aware of all of the commonly cited laws, and a couple of the not-so-common.
Bikers have requested that they be given greater access and protection on the streets, but there is no attempt by the city to require a commiserate level of education for bikers. Therefore, people rely on what they believe is "right" or "makes sense" rather than complying with the law.
I only bike recreation-ally, but I know that it is against the law to run red lights, ride on the sidewalk, change lanes in front of other vehicles without signaling, ride against traffic, etc. That doesn't stop me from doing some of those things, but I wouldn't complain about it if I got caught because the reality is I know I'm in the wrong.
Also, a red light camera ticket is $50 but getting pinched by a cop for running a red light in a car is also $270. Bikers won't get the camera tickets, because there isn't any way to identify them from the camera shots (no license plate).
I'm not some anti-cyclist douche, but I will say that I wish I had $270 for every time I've nearly been hit by someone on a bike running a red light.
I'm not above occasionally treating a red light at a lonesome intersection like a stop sign.
However, if you don't have enough situational awareness to know whether there's a cop around, you probably don't have enough situational awareness to safely run a red light.
Neither walking a bike down the sidewalk (not riding it) nor riding without a helmet is a violation of any law. If anyone you know has gotten a ticket for that, they should publicize it and talk to an advocacy organization like Transportation Alternatives.
I, too, was stopped by three cops, in my case for not having a light on my bike. I thought that using so many officers for a simply traffic offense was wasteful, but then I considered the possibility (and the fact that these officers looked fresh out of high school) that it was a training exercise, of sorts (not to mention another example of El Bloombito's relentless pursuit of revenue). I still run red lights all the time, but now make sure I do a quick check at the intersection before breaking the law.
Jack, were you stopped between dusk and dawn? Did you get a ticket? When did this happen?
I've submitted this thread as a tip to STREETSBLOG. Hopefully we can bring this shameful, heavy handed and wasteful use of desperately needed police resources to light.
Homeowner a car followed me while honking for about a quarter of a block when I took the lane due to illegally double parked cars this morning. Obviously many drivers don't know or care about the law.
Breaking laws, as well as random and selective enforcement of laws, certainly isn't a rare phenomena.
Imagine how many bikes could be stopped if the police really wanted to enforce the laws applicable to bikes!
Look at all these laws: http://wings.buffalo.edu/law/bclc/web/NewYork/nybikes.htm
Here's what I sent them.
I've been a long time reader and I wanted to bring a recent crackdown on cyclists in Crown Heights to your attention. The police have been giving out tickets for running red lights. As well as issuing citations for doing legal things such as not wearing a helmet and walking a bike on a sidewalk. It appears that three officers approach a cyclist and then issue a citation.
I'd like to point out that Crown Heights is still troubled by violent crime such as gun violence and drug dealing as well as the occasional homicide. I find it abhorrent that the NYPD has decided to focus much needed law enforcement resources in such a completely wasteful and unhelpful manner. Furthermore I'd like to point out that cars routinely speed and drive in an aggressive manor and are rarely ticketed. The NYPD allows cars to drive in such a manner that the mere act of crossing Eastern Parkway seems to be a mortally dangerous act.
I'd like to bring this thread on the neighborhood forum Brooklynian to your attention. http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/topic/rant-270-fine-for-running-a-red-light-in-a-bike-really#post-770467 In it residents of Crown Heights, myself included, discuss and debate this crackdown.
I sincerely thank you for your time,
I know this is routinely done. But frankly when police resources are so thin in a neighborhood that has crime issues I think someone needs to call them out on it.
Someday, the NYPD is going to arrest a murderer and some reporter is going to ask him what he thinks.
The murder will respond, "I don't know why the police spent all this effort hunt me down for killing my 4 year old when there are way worse people out there".
...and upon hearing it, I am going to smile.

Yes beacuse running a red light on a bike
equals doesn't equal killing a kid. Doing so in a car very well might. I've said it before and I'll say it again if your killed it doesn't matter how your just as dead. It's high time the NPYD realizes this and prioritizes resources appropriately. May I ask wouldn't these officers who are spending their time writing tickets be better off trying to solve this? http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/topic/june-27-2013-woman-fatally-stabbed-on-park-pl-between-classon-and-franklin
Bottom line is that it's the police job to enforce the law. The OP broke the law. He got pinched for it. Yes, there are people that are doing worse things than what he did, but he was as they say in the old country "low hanging fruit". And according to Rudy Giuliani and his broken window theories, you go after the low hanging fruit first as a way to send a message that other worse crimes won't be tolerated.
The cops aren't going to be receptive to the "But he was doing it too" defense, especially when bikers admit to breaking the law.
After a certain point there are "negative returns to scale" to everything. It seems the NYPD have concluded that assigning too many cops to investigating murders is a bad idea, and that some resources are best used addressing other matters.
It makes sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns
Hopefully the person who go the ticket (the OP's friend) will continue to tell everyone s/he knows about the incident, so less violations of this kind will occur and the police force can be downsized.
Newguy, I was cycling through Bushwick and it was in April. I'll be the first to admit that I was in the wrong - I just found it odd that three officers, including on in a patrol car, were required for such a minor offense. That's why I thought it might be an exercise, where the newer cop addresses the matter while the more experienced ones observ and then provide feedback after I left. Also, I guess they have no idea who I am until they run a check
I paid the ticket via mail ($90) and installed lights on my bike, so I guess they taught me that much. Now I slow down at corners and do a quick spot check before blowing red lights and also veer towards lower-crime areas, as there is a smaller police presence there and, hence, a slimmer chance of getting caught again. A few times I've blown red lights or ridden on the sidewalk in full view of cop cars and they've done nothing, so enforcement is definitely uneven.
Uh oh. Now you can get a ticket for running yellow lights and being too chatty!
ribbons said:

The NYPD is literately making this shit up at this point.
A spokesman for the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles confirmed that the fine indicated on a red-light ticket includes $80 in surcharges and fees that do not apply to bikes. Cyclists should pay only $190.
Also see http://www.bicycledefensefund.org/summons.html regarding the laws in question.
I am working on a theory that the police are also cracking down on bikers because two of their favorite local targets (squeegee men and water sellers) are presently off limits in light of national events re: police interactions with "poor, dark people" said to be breaking minor laws.
Btw, cyclist killed someone in the park today:
Accidents happen. No charges have been filed.
I am just glad the biker wasn't charged with any offense. I would hate for the police to make an example of someone who hit a pedestrian and allege criminality when they don't believe there is any.
Likewise, I am glad this old guy was not hit by a car; cars are more deadly than bikes, and he would be even more dead.
So when they run over pedestrians, cyclists, each other, we just groan, "there they go again"
As result, peds continue to be injured and die with frightening regularity but few feel they are martyrs.
I feel there a lot of similarities to hard core bikers and people who pursue jobs that they are feel are below them. Like a HC biker, there are people from fortunate backgrounds who become teachers, social workers, etc. They feel they are giving the world a gift, "leading by example".Like HC bikers, some in these professions feel that they deserve lots of credit for their sacrifice, and are "saving the world". They after all, are not working in some profession believed to be evil (banking, ie driving a car). They want and expect rules and laws waived for them. They feel they deserve it, and often perplexed by those who don't agree.

Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Mariner 10 was the first spacecraft sent to the planet Mercury, the first mission to explore two planets (Mercury and Venus) during a single mission, the first to use gravity-assist to change its flight path, the first to return to its target after an initial encounter, and the first to use the pressure of sunlight on its solar panels and high-gain antenna, like a solar sail, for attitude control.
The primary goal of Mariner 10 was to study the atmosphere (if any), surface, and physical characteristics of Mercury.
Soon after leaving Earth orbit, the spacecraft returned photos of both Earth and the Moon as it sped to its first destination, Venus. During the coast, there were numerous technical problems, including malfunctions in the high-gain antenna and the attitude-control system. After midcourse corrections on 13 November 1973 and 21 January 1974, Mariner 10 approached Venus on 5 February 1974 and returned a total of 4,165 photos of the planet and collected important scientific data during its encounter. The closest flyby range was 5,768 kilometers at 17:01 UT.
Assisted by Venusian gravity, the spacecraft now headed to the innermost planet, which it reached after another midcourse correction on 16 March 1974. As Mariner 10 approached Mercury, its photos began to show a very Moon-like surface with craters, ridges, and chaotic terrain. The spacecraft's magnetometers revealed a weak magnetic field. Radiometer readings suggested nighttime temperatures of -183°C and maximum daytime temperatures of 187°C. The closest encounter was at 20:47 UT on 29 March 1974 at a range of 703 kilometers.
Having looped around the Sun, Mariner 10 flew by Mercury once more on 21 September 1974 at a more distant range of 48,069 kilometers. The spacecraft used the pressure of sunlight on its solar panels and high-gain antenna, like a solar sail, for attitude control. A third and final encounter, the closest to Mercury, took place on 16 March 1975 at a range of 327 kilometers. Contact with the spacecraft was terminated on 24 March 1975.

Pathfinder Panorama
Date: 5 Jul 1997
An enhanced version of the famous Mars Pathfinder photo of the lander and Sojourner rover. This browse version shows only part of the 360-degree panorama. The high-resolution version includes the whole image.
This is a portion of a geometrically-improved, color-enhanced version of the 360-degree gallery pan, the first contiguous, uniform panorama taken by the Imager for Mars (IMP) over the course of Sols 8, 9, and 10. Different regions were imaged at different times over the three Martian days to acquire consistent lighting and shadow conditions for all areas of the panorama.
In the full-sweep version of the panorama (see the Hi-Res version), much of the discontinuity that was due to parallax has been corrected, particularly along the lower tiers of the mosaic containing the Lander features. Distortion due to a 2.5 degree tilt in the IMP camera mast has been removed.
The IMP is a stereo imaging system that, in its fully deployed configuration, stands 1.8 meters above the Martian surface, and has a resolution of two millimeters at a range of two meters. The IMP has color capability provided by 24 selectable filters -- twelve filters per "eye". Its red, green, and blue filters were used to take this panorama.
The three color images were first digitally balanced according to the transmittance capabilities of a specific high-definition TV device at JPL, and then enhanced via changes to saturation and intensity while retaining the hue. A threshold was applied to avoid changes to the sky. An MTF filter was applied to sharpen feature edges.
In the full panorama, starting at left is a Lander petal and a metallic mast which is a portion of the low-gain antenna. On the horizon the double "Twin Peaks" are visible, about 1-2 kilometers away. The rock "Couch" is the dark, curved rock at right of Twin Peaks. Another Lander petal is at left-center, showing the fully deployed forward ramp at far left, and rear ramp at right, which rover Sojourner used to descend to the surface of Mars on July 5. Immediately to the left of the rear ramp is the rock "Barnacle Bill", which scientists found to be andesitic, possibly indicating that it is a volcanic rock (a true andesite) or a physical mixture of particles. Just beyond Barnacle Bill, rover tracks lead to Sojourner, shown using its Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) instrument to study the large rock "Yogi". Yogi, low in quartz content, appears to be more primitive than Barnacle Bill, and appears more like the common basalts found on Earth.
The tracks and circular pattern in the soil leading up to Yogi were part of Sojourner's soil mechanics experiments, in which varying amounts of pressure were applied to the wheels in order to determine physical properties of the soil. During its traverse to Yogi the rover stirred the soil and exposed material from several centimeters in depth. During one of the turns to deploy Sojourner's Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer, the wheels dug particularly deeply and exposed white material. Spectra of this white material show it is virtually identical to the rock "Scooby Doo", and such white material may underlie much of the site. Deflated airbags are visible at the perimeter of all three Lander petals.

Pine Valley Golf Club
Pine Valley is consistently ranked as one of the top courses in the U.S. and the World by Golf Magazine's panel of experts.
Everyone learns to take failure in stride at Pine Valley. Abysmal scores are a way of life. That's because the underlying principle of founder George Crump's design for the course is the island. The tee is an island. The fairway, despite being 50-55 yards wide, is also an island. And so, of course, is the green. Each of these isolated plots is tightly defended by sand, scrub, rough, dense woods, sometimes water, sometimes steep falloffs -- a no-man's land of potentially unplayable lies. Players must tack unerringly from one island to the next, or pay a heavy price.
No wonder the slope, from the regular tees (6,532 yards, par 70) is a man-eating 153. Nonetheless, golfers dearly love the place. Though only 15 miles from Philadelphia, this 620-acre tract in the New Jersey pines occupies a world all its own -- simple, serene, the clubhouse an old L-shaped pebbledash structure short on style and grace but long on welcoming warmth. And the caddies are among the best anywhere.
One way of assessing a golf course is to determine how many great holes it possesses and how few banal ones. Well, Pine Valley has no humdrum holes and no fewer than 15 great ones, probably more like 16 or 17, or, some would argue, 18 -- every doggone one of them! No other course has so many sublime holes.
Pine Valley is as jam-packed with anecdotes as it is imperishable golf holes. The last hole (par 4, 425-483 yards) falls dramatically from a pinnacle tee to a broad fairway, then presents a long uphill second shot over water and deep bunkers to a vast green, both of its flanks defended by trench-like pits where the backswing may be constricted.
A guest who was staying overnight sliced his second shot, which trickled into the narrow bunker between the green and the first tee. A foursome about to begin their round watched sympathetically as the player struggled in vain to extricate his ball. The next morning, this same chap, shortly to tee off on the first himself, took another look at the offending hazard and decided to give it another shot. So down he climbed into it and began to swing once more -- just as the group who had watched him flailing away the day before approached the first tee.
"My God," exclaimed one of them, "he's still in there!" -- Jim Finegan, Golf Magazine, 2007
-- Dr. Gary Wiren, a GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher, named Pine Valley as one of his Fab 5 Courses. Here's what he wrote about the course:
"Like everyone else who has played it, Pine Valley is one of my favorite courses. The first time I played there, a couple of groups were waiting at the first tee when we arrived, so we were asked to start on the fifth hole. It's a par 3 requiring a 230-yard shot to a green perched on the side of a steep hill with O.B. to the left. Welcome to Pine Valley!
I love the challenges of the greens and the visual intimidation you face on almost every tee shot. There is a great balance between really long, tough par 4s and drive-and-pitch par 4s -- but those are really tough too!"

Fried Dynasty 200
Seeing as the cooling fan is controlled by inverter control board PC1, I'd say that's the one in question.
I suspect the tech's reference to "Q" board is a take on the fact control transistors are typically named Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. of which there are a bunch (51 I think) on PC1.
A good electronics shop MAY be able to repair it given enough information however, some of these boards are multi-tiered and have traces on the front, back and sandwiched between a two piece laminated board making it difficult if not impossible to make a successful repair.MM200 w/spot controller and Spoolmatic 1

They had some advantages in that they carried more components that a single layered board. On the negative side, they were nearly impossible to repair. Often, the technicians and engineers had to resort to digging holes in the boards to install haywires on the back side of the board. I always thought that it was comical to see a finished repair with wires running at odd angles on the board.
You mention that Miller uses 51 separate discrete transistors on one of their Dynasty boards. That's really odd in the age of integrated circuits. I would think that they could do some redesign there, considering the prices that they are getting.
For the record, I'd love to have a new Dynasty but considering that I'm still in hobby mode, it's not in the cards.Miller Syncrowave 200

I was in the electronics business for many years, and I will make a few comments about board repair.
If possible, the best solution is to cut all the leads to the part, and then unsolder the leads one at a time with a temperature controlled iron. If you do this right you should not damage the board. This is probably the safest solution for a less experienced operator, and does not require any special tools other than a good soldering iron
In the production shop, they used a heat gun with a small nozzle to heat the board and part while the operator used a tweezer, nudging or pulling the part until it was free, and then removing the part. They kept the heat gun constantly moving to avoid burning something. These were not ordinary heat guns, I have never seen that type of gun available for sale in any store.
The link below shows in general how to use a heat gun for that purpose, but the heat gun he uses has a large nozzle.
One could use solder wick to remove the excess solder from the pads or holes.
