(Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images)A storyline of the Heat's miraculous rally in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday has been the hundreds of Miami fans who left the American Airlines Arena with their team trailing the Spurs by five points with 28 seconds remaining. When the Heat hit two three-pointers to send the game into overtime, those Heat fans who left the arena were not happy when security guards would not let them re-enter for OT.Heat star Chris Bosh has a message for those fans who bailed early: He doesn't want them to come back for Game 7.From CBS Sports:"For all those [fans] who left, make sure you don't come to Game 7," the Miami big man said. "You never give up. People gave up on us, and they can stay where they are and watch the game at home."MANNIX: Ray Allen's value to Heat clear in Game 6 winBosh said Heat fans should have known better than to give up on their team -- and the rules at their home arena:"You can't get let back in after you leave. I know that," Bosh said. "Hell, I've been to games. You can't leave a game and then come back. It doesn't make any sense. You left. It's not punishment; that's protocol."LeBron James wasn't as harsh as Bosh, cutting Heat fans a little slack:"I just know in my household, my wife was like, 'Would you please stop doing that to me?' My mother-in-law, even my sons, they were like, 'Oh, my God. You guys lost and won at the same time,'" he said. "I know. We know. I apologize to our fans from last night.

What are you wearing? A jungle-print floral camisole top from Wet Seal, Express Jeans, stacked-heel yellow pumps and a white and yellow purse from Charlotte Russe, with assorted bracelets and a ring pendant necklace and circle earrings. What is your fashion philosophy? Not only must there be a shoe for every outfit but also a purse. Who is your style icon? Jessica Simpson. I like a lot of what she wears, but not everything. Who influenced your style? Nobody. I look at the trends, at what's on the mannequins in a store, and if I like something I wear it. Usually if I see a particular look a lot, I'll go for something a little different. What is your fashion trademark? A cute shirt, jeans, high heels, matching purse and accessories—sexy but conservative. What wouldn't you be caught dead in? Wrangler jeans (the fit does not flatter my shape), flat dress shoes or granny panties. What is the biggest mistake people make today? Hanging on to pieces that are no longer in style. Do you have any favorite products? L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner. How about make-up? I wear liquid liner, eye shadow and a natural lip gloss. How do you stay in shape? I work out five days a week, and recently I've begun paying attention to what I eat. I'll have dessert once a week and maybe other junk food on the weekends, but during the week I eat a lot of lean protein and broccoli. Where do you go when you go out in Sarasota? The Rhino Room and Gilligan's. Where do you shop? Express, Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe and Victoria's Secret. What do you like best about Sarasota? The weather, beach and family.

New York's Original Food and Culture Walking Tours
Gourmet Chinatown
Food and Culture Tour
NYC's only walking tour + sit-down food tasting event!
During this tour you will taste a diverse selection from three acclaimed Chinatown restaurants and one of Chinatown's favorite bakeries. You will enjoy several varieties of Chinese cuisines while celebrating the tradition and etiquette of this rich culture. Your host will unveil the historical and cultural landmarks of the area while venturing into local establishments for unique tastings.
About the ticket price:
The ticket price for the Chinatown tour ($65) is slightly higher than those of our other tours ($52). This higher cost is reflected in the Chinatown tour's unique features: three sit down restaurant tastings, and larger portion sizes than you'll experience on our other walking tours.
Your Chinatown Food and Culture Tour will include:
- A selection of six different Hong Kong style dumplings
- A whole authentic Peking Duck with all the fixings
- Malaysian Roti Canai
- The best Egg Custard Tart in Chinatown
We look forward to hosting you on this fun and delectable tour.
Qing chi ba ! (Enjoy the feast!)
What Is Not Included?
Tour guide gratuities are not included in the cost of your ticket.

Our guide (Raheem) was hilarious, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and was SUPERB at his job! All the food tried was amazing - in fact the Peking duck was one of the culinary highlights of our trip. We had never tried dim sum before so this was a great way to be introduced to it! We were so full from all the food we had (much more than I'd anticipated) that we even skipped dinner! The amount of food served was very generous and delicious! Thanks for the wonderful tour, food, and out of this world guide!!! #raheemrocks (haha!)

I have been on several historical tours in other cities but this food tour of Chinatown was my first food tour. My family and I thought that the tour was fantastic! Hands down out of 8 tour companies I've used this was the most professional, informative and just fun. This was due in large part to our guide Bert. He was by far the best guide we've ever had in any tour we've ever taken. He should train others because his ability to lead tours is superb.

This was the best Chinese food I have ever eaten by far. It has spoiled me because nothing else will ever measure up. The tour was delightful. The guide set an upbeat friendly tone and shared tons of good information. All of the people on the tour were nice and interesting. I'll be taking another one of the tours the next time I'm in New York.

We really enjoyed our Chinatown Food Tour with Burt. He was very knowledgeable about both food and Chinatown, and kept us entertained despite a steady downpour of rain. The food selections were excellent and diverse, and we got a good historical perspective on the area. Highly recommended.

Terrific introduction to Chinatown

|Group of Friends
Seven of us signed up for the Saturday Chinatown tour - we go to NYC fairly frequently (we are from Connecticut) but haven't explored that part of the city. Rakeem, our guide, was personable, funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable of the area, and gave a great value for what we paid for the 3 hour tour. The food was interesting and varied, we explored some hidden alleyways, stopped into a really interesting candy store, and learned a little about funeral customs. This is my second Foods of New York Tours, and I'll continue to recommend them to others - whether you know the city or not, it's a great time with interesting tidbits of food and local history!

Great fun - great guide!

This was my third guided tour with Foods of NY, and I loved it - again! Probably my favorite guide (Burt?) I recommend it to all my friends who talk of going to NY. And I will certainly do another one next time I come over :-D

- Do I have to purchase tickets in advance? Can I pay with cash?
- Tickets must be purchased in advance, and tours often sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance. Tickets can only be purchased with a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Cash is not accepted.
- If a tour is sold out can I get on a waiting list?
- We do not provide a waiting list. If a date is sold out, there is always a chance that we will add an additional tour. Please contact us by clicking "Contact FoodTours" to the left of the page to let us know what date you are interested in. Also, if this tour is sold out please check our tour calendar (link to the left) for available tickets on one of our other food and culture tours.
- What type of tickets are available for your tours and events?
- There is one ticket class for the Chinatown Tour: Thursdays at 6pm, Fridays & Saturdays at 10:30am: Standard Ticket Only: All ages - $65.00
- Are the Foods of New York tours appropriate for children?
- Our tours have been developed for food and history lovers. In our vast touring experience we have found that those under 17 might not fully appreciate our tours. Although, some children do enjoy our tours (the history, the food) and if you feel your children will enjoy it - please bring them along! Whether to bring your child is ultimately up to your discretion, but do note that ALL CHILDREN, ages 3+, need a paid ticket. We assume that if your child is below age 3 than they will not be participating in the food-tasting portion of the tour. Therefore, for children below age 3, no ticket is required and there will not be a food portion dedicated to this child. If you'd like food for your child under 3, then please do purchase a ticket. Either way, please INDICATE THAT YOU ARE BRINGING A CHILD, SO THAT YOUR TOUR GUIDE CAN BE PREPARED. Also, note that strollers are not advisable due to narrow sidewalks, uneven cobblestone streets and staircases. If you have further questions, contact us.
- Are the walking tours given in bad weather?
- All of our tours are held rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, we will be able to go inside many of the establishments on the tour. We will not be outdoors for the entire 3 hours. You should still dress appropriately for the day's weather conditions. It is impossible to cancel a tour at the very last minute due to many circumstances beyond our control. Before purchasing tickets please be aware of the possible weather conditions for that time of year.
- How should I dress during a tour?
- Please dress casual, comfortable, and appropriate for the different seasons in New York. General Weather Conditions in New York City: January 1st - April 15th - Usually cold and windy (tapering off in April) April 16th - June 15th - Mild temperatures (becoming warmer in June) June 16th - September 15th - Mild to Hot temperatures (usually hot in July and August) Sept 16th - December 31st - Starts off mild and then gets cold during the end of October.
- What if I've heard great things about a particular tour guide?
- Foods of New York Tours has been in business since 1999, and we're proud to say we receive excellent feedback on all of our guides! They are all friendly and love to share their knowledge about food, the neighborhood, and more. We're sorry, but we cannot guarantee a particular tour guide on a specific tour.
- Are tour guide gratuities included in the price?
- Foods of New York does not include gratuities in the cost of our tours. A standard gratuity for a tour guide in New York City is 15% to 20% of the tour price. If you had a great time gratuities are accepted by our tour guides.
- What should I expect if I take a Foods of New York 3 hour Walking Tour?
- Our walking and tasting tours are led by experienced Foods of New York tour guides. During our tours you will learn about the history and culture of Chinatown while tasting delicious food specialties from restaurants, food shops, and bakeries. Most of the food tastings are served while siting inside of a restaurant. There is one outdoor tasting that takes place ouside a bakery. While on the tour we go in and out of food establishments, walk down interesting streets, and learn about the fascinating history and culture of Chinatown.
- How much walking is involved? Is it a fast-paced tour?
- We are on our feet for approximately 1 and a half hours of a 3 hour tour . We walk at a very casual pace.
- How many people can attend a tour?
- The maximum number of people per tour guide is 16. If one tour is sold out there is a very good chance we will offer another that same day. Tours run 30 minutes apart.
- Why is the Chinatown tour more expensive then other Foods of New York tours?
- The Chinatown tour is more expensive than other tours because more food is served, and most tastings are served in an upscale restaurant environment. The tour customers sit down at 3 separate restaurants, and sample large portions of sophisticated cuisine, paired with tea and water. This style of tasting is more expensive then other "Street Tastings" due to the quality of food and experience. The ticket price includes all of the food and tips for waitstaff at three fantastic restaurants.
- How much food is served on the tours?
- There are 5 stops for food tastings on our Chinatown tours. Many of the samples are multi-course tastings. Lunch afterwards is not necessary.
- What restaurants will we visit on the tour?
- We visit various restaurants per neighborhood and sample food from many of them
- Are there any beverages served on the tour?
- We supply everyone with glasses of water at all restaurants and tea at 2 seperate restaurants.
- Is there a wine tasting included on the tour?
- There is not a wine tasting on this tour.
- What if I have dietary restrictions or food allergies?
- Please let us know if anyone in your group has a dietary restriction (e.g. vegetarian, diabetic, gluten, etc.) when you purchase your tickets. As long as we know well in advance, we can often accommodate your needs. If we do not find out about the special needs until the day of the tour, it is usually impossible for us to adjust in time to accommodate. Additionally, there are some tastings on the tour that are very difficult to replace depending on what each food shop offers (i.e., finding a substitution for a diabetic in a pastry shop can be challenging). We will always do our best to accommodate each person's needs. Please contact us by clicking "Contact FoodTours" to the left of the page before booking if you would like to confirm ahead of time that your dietary restriction can be accommodated.
- Are any of your walking tours wheelchair-and/or stroller-accessible?
- Unfortunately, wheelchairs are not recommended on our tours, and strollers are not permitted, due to the many narrow sidewalks that we walk on, the uneven cobble stone streets that we cross, certain staircases that we use when entering establishments, and the very small shops that we visit. If you have further questions, please contact us by clicking "Contact FoodTours" to the left of the page.
- Are tours offered only in English?
- Yes, we only offer tours in English at this time. If you would like to make arrangements for your own interpreter to join the tour, please contact us by clicking "Contact FoodTours" to the left of the page.
- May I bring my dog on the tour?
- Due to the various food establishments we visit, pets of any kind are not allowed on this tour.
- Does this tour have anything to offer a native New Yorker?
- Definitely! Many of our attendees live right here in New York City. Locals often attend to learn about the neighborhood and the city in which they live. We mainly stay off the beaten path, and thus avoid being consumed by crowds of tourists.
- I took this tour a year ago. Has anything changed?
- We change the tour slightly every six to eight months. Many parts of the tour remain the same, but we do our best to improve upon and enhance the tour.
- Are gift certificates available?
- Yes, gift certificates are available for all Foods of NY tours and make a perfect gift for holidays, birthdays or any other occasion! To purchase a gift certificate for this tour, please click on the "Gift certificates: Purchase" link on our web page.
- Can I book a private tour?
- Yes, private tours are available for groups of up to 48 people. To inquire about a private tour, please contact us by clicking "Contact FoodTours" to the left of the page. A Foods of New York Tours representative will contact you within 24 hours to inform you if the date and time requested is available.
Refund/Rescheduling Policy
- Non-refundable, cannot be rescheduled.
- Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded and cannot be rescheduled because your space is being guaranteed at the event.
Weather Policy
- Activity takes place rain or shine.
- The activity runs regardless of weather conditions. In the rare situation where the seller is forced to cancel the event, ticket-holders will be allowed to reschedule to another time (subject to availability).

spencer1984's Activity
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28
Engine is now finished aside from the ignition wires and breathers. Overall the fit continues to be excellent - the pulley shafts lined up perfectly with the holes on the front of the engine, the headers practically snapped into the heads, etc.
The distributor still doesn't bother me all that much, but I don't care for the way they did the alternator. The belt is molded so that it goes into the side of the fan and the pulley sticks out past that, plus the back is hollow. The power steering pump is better, but overall the belt assembly is pretty weak. The valve covers are identical, but the way they're attached to the sprue you can put the attachment points towards the back on both sides; nice touch. The carburetors are also nicely detailed, and I like that Revell gave us a decal for the oil filter.
Work continues on the chassis. Like the engine, the overall fit is pretty spot-on. There was a tiny twist to the exhaust system, but nothing that didn't straighten out as soon as it was glued in place. Revell provided dimpled ends in the exhausts for anyone who wants to drill them out.
I think they could have done a better job getting the rear axle halves to fit together, the joint here is ugly and could use some spots of filler to clean it up. Other than this, though, no complains on the assembly here.
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28I'm building this as close to box stock as possible, rather than try to make it a truly accurate '74 model. I'll just consider anything that's "wrong" as part of the performance upgrades Starsky added to it.
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Mad Max GigahorseAwesome project, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28Not this time - my Ford Blue is the darker shade used on earlier engines, so I did this in Tamiya Brilliant Blue over gray primer
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28
Good call, the intake is definitely a little long. I have a feeling that once the carburetors, air cleaner, valve covers, and wiring is added the extra length should be somewhat hidden. At least it fits the valley perfectly, so it looks like width is correct. Height doesn't seem so bad in person.
I got some paint on the engine tonight - meant to mask off the distributor first but my enthusiasm to see it in color got the better of me.
I also started work on the chassis. Revell stuck their usual copyright in the space over the rear axle, so that had to be sanded off. The rear axle fits together nicely, and is drying right now - once the glue is set I'll sand off the seam and paint everything satin black.
No real surprise, the front end has a fair number of parting lines that have to be cleaned off. The tie rod, stabilizer bar, etc. struck me as being a little squarish, but comparing it to other Fords (AMT's '67 Mustang on the left, Revell's Pro Modeler '70 Torino on the right) makes everything look much finer and sharper. I'll probably hit the corners of the bars to round them off when I'm cleaning up the parting lines, but otherwise will use this part unmodified.
I think you may be right - the blocky, angled front of the block looks more like the Ceveland motor.
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28I tried for an angle as close to what was shown as possible - if you'd like to see a different view, just let me know!
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28Right now its surrounded by clothespins until the glue sets, but I can shoot a 3/4 view tomorrow morning.
spencer1984 added a post in a topic Starsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28These pics are mid-process: in the first pic the coil tower and the tower at about 5:00 are as they came in the kit, the rest of the towers were drilled out before I took the photo. In the second pic I drilled far enough that the cap held the drill while I shot it, very quick & easy to do with the way Revell set it up.
Yeah, not sure how they managed to muck up the orientation like that...the instructions are wrong throughout, too, so when it's time to install the upper radiator hose they just show it kind of sitting in a flat spot, rather than plugged into the socket like it's supposed to be. The box art got it right, at least.
spencer1984 added a topic in On The WorkbenchStarsky & Hutch Torino - Starting 9/28I took a look at this kit over the weekend, and started work on it this evening. So far I'm very impressed with the thought that went into it: no, the engine isn't 2,000 parts, but the fit is excellent, the detailing is very well done, and the way they assemble is quite clever in hiding assembly joints and the necessary evils of injection molding. The fine detailing on things like the bolt heads and fuel pump are especially neat, though my award for the Best Idea So Far (Engine Division) is the distributor. Revell actually has tiny dimples cast into the top of the towers, so if you want to drill it out the drill bit self centers on the tower and eliminates the risk of wandering through the side. Very, very cool.
Unfortunately, there is one downside...but it's with the instructions, not the parts. They tell you to install the intake manifold backwards, with the distributor at the rear. Not only is it wrong, it's impossible: the manifold and block are keyed so that they only fit together one way. Oopsie.
I have the engine parts gluing together now, and will have it in paint tomorrow.

About the ManufacturerRogar was founded in Abilene, Texas in 1975. The goal then, as now, was to design, manufacture and market top quality products. By focusing on fine craftsmanship, unique products and innovative packaging, Rogar has become a leader in the sales of antique-style wine openers, hanging and wall-mounted pot racks and other fine products.
Rogar International Corporation has been the premier name in speed wine openers since it's introduction of the solid brass Vintner in 1975. Like Rogar's current Champion and Estate wine openers, the Vintner was based on the "Champion Cork Removal System" made by the Arcade Manufacturing Company using Michael Redlinger's American patent of 1897. Even then, the Champion had the unique ability to uncork and recork. Rogar took the orginal's mechanical concept and has continued to enhance it with modern matierals. Although the Vintner is no longer inproduction, and has become a collector's item, Rogar's Estate and Champion wine openers are now the fastest, easiest and most stylish way to open a wine bottle. They are fast, simple, and foolproof.
As we enter a new millennium, Rogar has kept pace with the times. Although the inspiration for their wine openers comes from the past, the technology is 21st century.
All their Estate and Champion openers have been designed to work on the newest flange top wine bottles as well as standard wine bottles. They even can be used to open corked olive oil bottles.
All Rogar products are proudly crafted in Virginia, USA, and carry a one-year limited warranty.

Angie's Answers
1. It's important that I find a good one
2. I'm not an expert enough to know myself who is a good one
3. The industry is full of advertisements and misinformation
4. I wish I knew what experiences other people have had
That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor.
On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.
A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor.
For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too.
That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.
You have to put your self in the shoes of a business that is in business to turn a profit of some sort. All businesses have different overhead which in turn decides what their bottom line would be on their services. I personally would not go with an unlicensed professional for this type of install. You are messing with gas, venting issues, electrical wiring{electric water heater} and updated code issues such as a drain pan and tempature and relief drain lines for heaters that currently do not have them. I do agree that there are some companies that are way out of line for their installs but most of these companies are the really big companies that have very high overheads I would assume. Tank type water heaters have changed over the last several years and with these safety changes come bigger prices. The price of steel thanks to China is skyrocketing and tank type water heaters are made of steel. Most wholesale plumbing supply companies cannot match what the big box stores are selling at retail to consumers. I happen to think from research that heaters such as Rheem, Bradford White and AOSmith who have been in business forever make a better product than what you can buy in the big box outlets. You also have to take in consideration the location of the water heater that is being replaced. Is it in the house, basement, garage or attic. Most 40 and 50 gallon water heaters that are purchased in a plumbing wholesale store in Texas cost between 300-340 for a 6 year warranty heater with 6 year on parts and tank. Speaking of warranty. Most big box companies will take a least 24 hours to a week to get your warranty problem taken care of. Most reputable plumbing companies will give same day service if they installed the heater.
So lets break down a typical install at cost to a licensed plumber in Texas
Heater: $315, water shut off $6.50, water flex lines or unions to code $20, gas flex line and cut off to code $12, misc fittings $15, Total $368.50 Lets add a 35% profit which is some what low for a business $129, Total 497.50
This doesnt include permits, pan and drain or any venting issues. The vent must go from the heater to the outside of roof using double wall vent.
Cost of permit on average $60
Most plumbing companies allow for 3 hours of time for a water heater. This includes picking the new one up. Delivering out to house. Draining and removing old water heater. Hauling off old heater. Installing new heater up to code. Going down to city and pulling permit.
Average Labor charges for heater installs $400
That would make this install run without extras on any code issues $957.50
I just had a 50 gallon gas water heater installed in my house for $1200 but I needed a pan installed. I used a licensed plumber.
An itemized list / cost breakdown, more often than not is used against the contractor when it is shared with other builders who will then beat it.
Good contractors use good people, and good people cost more. Just the cost of having the appropriate insurance / bond can be the difference between winning a job or losing it ot a 'lower bid'.
It is the rule of three; there is Good, Cheap and Fast. You can have any two: Good and Cheap, won't be Fast; Good and Fast, won't be Cheap; Cheap and Fast, won't be Good!
When comparing bids, it isn't the cheapest or the 'nicest' person you should select. You should understand why there is a large price difference (it shows there are gaps in your design program or what you have asked for specifically, which means there may be arguments later). If most of the bids are in line, and one is way high or way low, you want to know why before dismissing or selecting them.
A price-only decision almost always costs more in the long run.
Good luck!
Hospital Care reviews in Hayward
The nurse acted like it was my fault when I returned late. The anesthesiologist was lacking in empathy.
The surgery was performed well.
My experience in the recovery room was awful. When I started retching, someone handed me a bag to vomit into through a closed curtain. I asked for a bedpan since I was too dizzy to stand and was left on it and not given toilet paper. When I asked for help snapping my gown because I felt exposed, I was asked who unsnapped it. I felt they just wanted to get rid of me, not care for me.
I received completely inadequate discharge instructions.
The billing process was equally bad. The collected about $400 more than they should have. When I called about this, I was told I would get a refund, but it would take 2-3 months.
I did eventually talk to an administrator who called me more than 2 weeks after I wrote a letter. She did not seem surprised by my report of the quality of care and basically said a lot of the employees were not very good.
I would not recommend that anyone have a procedure there. They do not care.

A really great hostel from any point of view - I can highly recommend it! But I wouldn't recommend their pick-up bus to Tangkou - it came half an hour later, and it wasn't really a pick-up as you should walk to the pick-up place the same walking distance as to the regular bus station, then we have been picking up the other guests from another hostels for another half an hour. So in total it took 2 hours to get to Tangkou instead of one. So I really suggest to take a regular bus.

It is a very nice hostel for staying one or two days to go to huangshan or the old city center. But there is only one big common room at the ground floor and that is not very welcoming. At my floor was also a video facility, but No one used it. Maybe it did not work at all. So it is no Hostel to chill, just to sleep. The staff is kind and helpful.

No locks for the lockers in the room, and the staff mostly just ignored me and the other guests. They didn't even look up when I first walked in. Also, although the bus to Huangshan arranged by the hostel left before 6:00 am, we waited at other hotels and hostels to fill up the bus, so we didn't actually get to the transfer station until 8. After switching to the other bus and waiting in line for admission tickets, I finally got on the mountain just after 9. This process needs to be streamlined.

Hostel is located near the station and is very easy to identify. Staff are friendly and helpful. They even offer to book bus tickets to get to nearby major cities. The hostel is full of friendly and welcoming people. Only issue was the wi-fi connection could be poor at times.

In the wealthy, seaside community of Neptune, California, the rich and powerful make the rules. Unfortunately for them, there's Veronica Mars, a smart, fearless 17-year-old apprentice private investigator dedicated to solving the town's toughest mysteries. Veronica used to be one of the popular girls, but it all came crumbling down around her after her best friend, Lilly, was murdered, and her then-sheriff father, Keith, was removed from office for naming Lilly's rich father as the lead suspect. During the day, Veronica must negotiate high school like any average teenage girl. But at night, she helps with her father's struggling, new private investigator business--and what she finds may tear the town of Neptune apart at the seams.
DVD Features: deleted scenes; extended takes; gag reel
The smartest high school drama since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars is The O.C. as penned by Raymond Chandler. Veronica (Kristen Bell, Deadwood) is Nancy Drew by way of Lauren Bacall, while Neptune makes Peyton Place look like Mayberry. The first season begins in the aftermath of a dizzying array of cataclysmic events: Her best friend, Lilly (Amanda Seyfried), was murdered, her sheriff father was fired over his handling of the case, she was sexually assaulted, and her mother left. Since then, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni, Just Shoot Me) has become a private eye and drafted Veronica as his assistant. She may lack Buffy's physical prowess, but the "tiny blonde one" turns out to have a special talent for sleuthing. In the wake of her sophomore year, the popular crowd abandoned Veronica--even boyfriend Duncan (Teddy Dunn), Lilly's brother. (Hence the theme song: "We Used to Be Friends.") Veronica is on her own until she meets Wallace (Percy Daggs III), the only student unfamiliar with her past, unlike Duncan's sarcastic pal, Logan (Jason Dohring), one of her more ardent foes. He was Lilly's boyfriend and his father is movie star Aaron Echols (Harry Hamlin). By the end of her junior year, Veronica and Logan will make their peace, but it won't be so easy to win over the school--let alone the town. Throughout the season, Veronica will solve several mysteries both big and small--including the murder of Lilly Kane. But a few questions remain. For instance, at the end of the season finale, Veronica opens the door to greet an unseen visitor with "I was hoping it would be you." So who was it? Fortunately, UPN renewed the critically acclaimed (if ratings challenged) teen noir and that tantalizing question will be answered in the second season premiere. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Did our review for this title help you decide to do any of the following?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know that That's How I Feel provides non-verbal kids or kids who have trouble expressing their feelings with a way to do so using "smarty symbols" -- simple picture drawings that depict different emotional states. The emotions are organized into three categories and color-coded green (positive), yellow (ambivalent or negative), and red (more powerfully negative). Kids tap on a picture that describes how they're feeling and a narrator makes a related statement ("I feel better"). Some of the emotional sentiments may be too complex or nuanced for younger kids to understand.
That's How I Feel can be a useful tool for kids to express their emotions, but it's limited by the somewhat confusing illustrations. The app's simple design makes it easy to navigate and use.
Using the picture symbols to express their feelings, kids can learn to identify their emotions and grow in self-awareness. The drawings lack diversity and can also be confusing.
The app's simple design makes it easy to navigate, and it can provide non-verbal kids or kids who have trouble expressing their feelings with a way to do so. The lack of diversity make the app less accessible to all kids.
Kids simply swipe a finger horizontally across the top green row to browse positive emotion options, the middle yellow row for somewhat ambivalent or negative emotions, or the bottom row for negative emotions. They tap on the picture that indicates the feeling they're looking to express. The drawings also include a written emotion word. Once tapped, a voice recording provides the verbal expression of the emotion.
The simple picture drawings in That's How I Feel are sometimes very clear and other times a bit too complex or nuanced for many young kids to understand. For example, the drawing for the emotion "ashamed" shows a stick figure scratching his head with a circle containing the words "work" and "money" next to him. The one for "depressed" displays a boy with two broken hearts to his sides and tears on his face. In some instances such as these, parents may need to help kids identify which drawing correlates to how they're feeling by explaining the drawings or giving them more options. The three main categories will likely be fairly easy for kids to understand, which can help them narrow their choices. And the app's simple design makes it easy to navigate and use.
If your kids are having trouble matching a feeling with an image and cannot read the word associated with each image, read it for them.
Talk about the differences between the green, yellow, and red feelings groups.

Rob, the Manufaktur DT880's don't seem to have an option for leather pads. Did yours come like that, or are those pads transplanted from a pair of DT770's?
Do you prefer the leather pads over the velours on the DT880's?
^ the best pads for the dt880's are the jmoney leather pads, otherwise use the velours

Wren survives wild 70-61 game at Greenville
First playoff win since 1992
GREENVILLE — When Wren took a 63-28 lead on Greenville midway through the third quarter of their first-round Class 3A playoff matchup Friday night at Sirrine Stadium, there were some grumblings that the Golden Hurricanes might be rubbing it in.
As it turned out, the Hurricanes needed every one of those points as it withstood a Greenville comeback to win, 70-61.
Wren coach Jeff Tate, who celebrated his school's first postseason victory since 1992 along with his 56th birthday, described the final minutes as "nerve-wracking."
"I felt pretty good at 63-28," he said.
The Hurricanes (8-3) advance to play Chapman, a winner over Chapin on Friday night in another first-round matchup.
Wren averaged 46.4 points per game while finishing third in the rugged Western 3A region. Greenville (7-4) was the No. 2 seed from Region 2-3A, riding a six-game winning streak in which it averaged 49 points per game.
Both squads lived up to those stats, and then some, with the teams trading touchdowns nearly from the start.
Greenville's Clark Scolamiero scored on a 30-yard run five and a half minutes into the game, igniting an exchange that ended with Wren leading 42-28 at the half.
In the first half alone, Wren quarterback Kelly Bryant had 79, 10 and five-yard touchdown runs as well as 29 and six-yard scoring passes to Harrison Hix and a four-yard TD toss to Nathaniel Ekwere.
The Red Raiders countered with an 81-yard TD pass from Carson Spiers to Jalen Wilkes, a 91-yard kickoff return by LeMarcus Martin, and a 50 scoring pass from Scolamiero to Caleb Franklin.
Ekwere scored on a 10-yard run midway through the third quarter and the Hurricanes returned a fumble and a blocked punt for touchdowns on Greenville's next two possessions. But like a cross between the Oregon Ducks and the villain from a teen slasher movie, the Red Raiders rose again.
"I'm proud of the way they fought tonight," Greenville coach Phil Magdic said. "Those mistakes will kill you. That's been our bugaboo all year."
Scolamiero connected with Wilkes for a 39-yard touchdown and later scored on a 22-yard run. Then Spiers found Wilkes for 17 and 37-yard scores on back-to-back possessions, cutting Wren's lead to 63-55 with 3:49 left in the game.
The Hurricanes answered with a 34-yard touchdown pass from Bryant to Bailey Rogers. Bryant rushed for 209 yards and passed for 278.
"People who don't think that kid can play quarterback haven't seen him play," Tate said.
The Red Raiders had one final volley, a 94-yard kickoff return touchdown by Martin, his second of the game, before the Hurricanes were finally able to run out the clock.
"I'm proud and happy for our community," Tate said of his school's first playoff win in two decades. "We found a way to win."

The global computer security hoax
Posted on Friday, 8 February, 2013 |
2 comments
Peter Fotis Kapnistos
When partners of the United Nations and the U.S. Congress asked leading technology experts to estimate the standing of global computer security, the answer was unsatisfactory: There is none. No expert could guarantee 100% secrecy for online computing systems.
In fact, keeping sensitive information on a computer system with 250 well-known ports and communications endpoint protocols might not be the most prudent thing to do –– like a cake left out in the rain. Where then, should governments hide their most sensitive information? Perhaps at the bottom of a pyramid tomb. But even then, the touchy information might get uncovered after a few thousand years of excavation.
The general public is still largely uninformed about what has come to be called hacking and malware. The media constantly plays up the importance of password protection and virus detection. A money-spinning digital security industry has grown up like a Goliath. Nowadays, even to view the most trifling gossip content, you are required to "login" with your personal details. Someone wants to sell you something –– or maybe not, just watching you.
The recent appearance of "Anonymous," a group of hackers wearing Guy Fawkes masks that carries out cyber attacks on governments and large companies threatens the protection of sensitive information. WikiLeaks' charismatic leader Julian Assange and computer hacker Gary McKinnon (accused of hacking into U.S. military and NASA systems) were all the rage. In all of his interviews, McKinnon talked about two UFO related finds.
Anonymous' true name, it could be argued, is Admin Admin. They are the username and password that come as "factory settings" on many Internet devices. Since many users don't ever bother to change them, they allow hackers to go into their router systems with the well-known unsigned terms.
"Google has mapped every Wi-Fi router in every residence and business in Britain, according to the Daily Telegraph. This news is a result of an investigation in Germany earlier this month that uncovered that the company had downloaded emails and other personal information.
"Using the Google Street View cars, Google explained it had intended to download what it called public information, such as MAC and SSID numbers. It has since pulled all of its Street View vehicles off the streets. But the mapping of Britain's routers has already been completed.
"Google's collection of personal data has resulted in an inquiry in Germany and a lawsuit in the U.S. state of Oregon." (Curt Hopkins, "Google Has Mapped Every Router in Britain," readwrite.com May 30, 2010)
An all-purpose word of warning is to change your password as often as possible. Compulsive password changing may become a new eccentricity that replaces compulsive hand washing of previous times.
When aunt Betty first entered personal computing, she dreamt of designing her own furniture and home interiors. But instead, she spent most of her times buying and downloading dicey malware detectors. She finally learned nothing beyond the use of simple email. When private accountant Bob bought into personal computing, he wanted to do scientific analysis and graphics. But he wasted valuable time tending to costly virus scans, and never really learned the use of digital spreadsheets or graphic animators. How true?
Most malware detectors are clever nag screens. If you ignore the firewall warning and disable the nag screen, you are held responsible. Yet, with such a robust billion-dollar global security industry, why do the leading experts say that digital computer secrecy is a myth? Because the very ideas of security and "a step into the breach" are purely human moral acts that have nothing to do with computer programs.
Today, there are millions-upon-millions of websites published on the Internet. They all require trusty Administrators that could easily step into the breach. Their very job is to switch to any user's identity and check random emails and previous messages. Illegal, you suppose? Not so. If you observe the "privacy policy" that websites are required to have, you will see your personal information (beyond name and email address) can be known but "not shared" with others.
Okay? Like an attorney-client agreement or a doctor-patient relationship, your network Admins might know your personal secrets but they promise not to tell. Because their everyday job is to inspect suspicious text strings for spam or sneaky escape codes that could cause servers to crash. By reading this, you agree, don't you?
Have department store rules brought down our constitutional rights of privacy? The technological contest to become Orwell's next Big Brother has given confidence to sociopath narcissists. A once informal corporate motto "Don't be evil" is nowadays interpreted as "Do what thou wilt."
In 2011, Google Inc. agreed to pay $500 million to settle a federal investigation into the Internet search leader's distribution of online ads from Canadian pharmacies that were illegally selling prescription and non-prescription drugs to American consumers.
Google bashfully emerged as the "King of Malware." It now blocks about 9,500 websites every day (which, among other things, illegally sell prescription drugs) as part of its new "self-appointed" antiphishing and antimalware detection capabilities.
Some critics argue that blocking one's favourite websites or own personal documents is just as malicious as stealing one's personal information. Web blocking could serve an unfair agenda beyond merely shielding the end-user experience.
Why is the general community still so uninformed about hacking and malware? The "technological singularity" is predicted to occur when computers become more intelligent that humans. Science fiction writers have almost crazily pondered on the possibility of immortality drugs, biological organ regeneration, and nano-scale robotics that the singularity will bring in. But the first and most important phase of the technological singularity will be the winning of the global economy. None of the above-mentioned scientific breakthroughs can ever happen unless this comes first.
The technological singularity will be part of a "transhuman" or human / machine relationship, so that a human avatar will always be in close proximity to explain to us the functions and objectives of the singularity. We won't be left in the dark. When technological computers (and not customary bankster charlatans) scientifically determine global interest rates, the singularity will initiate. Known Wall Street criminals will be locked out of the new digital economic system, much in the vein of malware blocking programs.
The old paradigm of a central power base or core authority will no longer work when dealing with the technological singularity. Instead, the idea of a group mind or "hive mentality" is splendidly serving as a business model. The policy of an organization can provisionally shift from the founder of the business on one day, to a company chauffeur on the next, depending on circumstances. The weight of academic authority can transmit from a lab professor at one time, to a field worker on another if certain conditions uphold.
"For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light."
The new paradigm is like a watercourse that keeps changing but retains its overall impetus while intensifying. For many, the technological singularity is perhaps proof that social equality and a new-enlightened democracy (not a new feudal capitalism) will salvage the economic future of the human dream.
