Cedarburg girls too tall, too tough for Nicolet, 44-32
Nicolet girls basketball coach Rick Dekeyser loved the way his team fought back in the fourth quarter Friday night against North Shore leader Cedarburg, how it's press forced turnovers, how the Knights hit five of their first six shots, and finally showed some life on the boards.
What he didn't like was the first three quarters, where the taller, younger and quicker Bulldogs dominated the glass, intimidated the smaller Knights into poor shot selection and generally pushed them around.
It was 38-14 going into the final stanza, so the fact that Nicolet got the final score to 44-32 was only of small consolation to Dekeyser, as the Knights lost out on a chance to tie for first place in the league with the Bulldogs.
"The thing was, we worked all week on certain things," he said. "We knew we were shorter so we put big emphasis on blocking out and pushing people back. I just didn't think I saw much of that for the first three quarters."
"I love these girls, but sometimes...."» Read Full Article
Fate of Fox Point footbridge could be decided Tuesday
Fox Point - Though Footbridge Friends President Barbara Schwartz won't yet reveal how much money the group has raised for the replacement of the Bridge Lane Ravine footbridge, she has acknowledged the group needs more time to meets its $625,000 goal.
"We're very pleased to give our update to the board. We think we're off to a good start, and look forward to continuing as the year progresses," Schwartz said. "I see this going on for a few months."

Brown Deer chooses new Village Manager
Brown Deer - After a nearly six-month long search, Brown Deer has found a new Village Manager.
The Village Board approved an employment contract Monday with Michael Hall, most recently the city administrator in Shawano.
The search began in mid-August after 14-year Village Manager Russell Van Gompel resigned to take over as city manager of Eau Claire. Beginning with a pool of 40 applicants, the Village Board and its Personnel Committee met numerous times, interviewing 10 of the applicants and eventually arriving at Hall.» Read Full Article
Bayside to host seminar on reducing coyote conflicts
The Village of Bayside will host a seminar on Wednesday intended to help residents avoid conflicts with coyotes.
The event, scheduled in response to local coyote sightings, will feature tips for protecting pets from coyotes, reducing coyote attractants in neighborhoods and hazing bold coyotes.
The seminar will be led by Lynsey White Dasher, urban wildlife specialist for the Humane Society of the United States.
According to the press release announcing the seminar, "coyote hazing helps restore the fear of humans back into coyotes which have become habituated to people and involves the systematic use of deterrents, including noisemakers, projectiles and water hoses."
The seminar will be held Wednesday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Bayside Middle School, 601 E. Ellsworth Lane, Bayside.» Read Full Article

6 Screw-Ups by Famous Bands That Make Spinal Tap Look Smooth
Live music is a fickle beast. Any number of things can go wrong at any given moment, particularly for bands that tour the country (or the world) with dozens of elaborate set pieces, choreographed routines, live animals or a lunatic drummer. For every Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, there is at least one Milli Vanilli at Lake Compounce, Ashlee Simpson on Saturday Night Live or Britney Spears doing a catatonic shamble-dance at the MTV Video Music Awards. And sometimes, these disasters are far more entertaining ...
#6. U2 Gets Trapped Inside a Giant Lemon
This event went down in history as one of the most beautiful real-world re-creations of This Is Spinal Tap mankind has ever seen: the time U2 got trapped inside a giant prop lemon.
In order to promote the release of their 1997 album, Pop, U2 embarked on their PopMart tour, mistakenly believing that the two things people simply couldn't get enough of were U2 and Kmart. The band wanted to find a marketable conceptual hook for the tour, and the logical solution was to make use of wacky props, videos and costumes, making some kind of statement about commercialism in music or something.
"Commercialism is wrong!" -Pepsi
Anyway, one of these props was a giant hollow lemon meant to contain the band members as they rolled out onstage for their first encore. The lemon was chosen for two reasons: the first being a reference to the U2 song "Lemon," and the second being fuck you, thanks for all the money.
But you can't fault the unintentional result, which was magical: On more than one occasion, the lemon malfunctioned, leaving U2 helplessly trapped inside.
Thousands of people then just watched in stunned, awkward silence, because after two hours of cowboy suits and an inexplicable karaoke sing-along with the Edge, it was unclear whether clawing frantically at the walls of a giant piece of fruit was part of the show. In Norway, the band was able to climb out of the back of the lemon, but in Japan, they were sealed inside, presumably stuck listening to Bono's prerecorded voice reading passages from his own autobiography, as is customary in every vehicle he occupies.
When asked about it later in an interview, Bono said, "It was a beautiful thing, traveling in that lemon." This is perhaps less indicative of the crowd's response to the lemon and more related to the fact that the lemon was covered in mirrors.
"Shit, kill the spotlights -- the first two rows just caught on fire!"
#5. ZZ Top Unleashes a Plague of Rattlesnakes
For the tour accompanying the release of their fifth album, Tejas, ZZ Top decided to decorate the stage with an onslaught of Texas-related paraphernalia, evidently concerned that people wouldn't pick up on the subtly nuanced symbolism of the album's name, or the fact that the stage itself was built in the shape of Texas. But instead of maybe hanging some flags or banners like rational troll-bearded adults, they opted instead to fill each performance with live animals, including vultures, buffaloes and a bunch of rattlesnakes, a list of set decorations they presumably found in the encyclopedia under "best possible things to keep near drunken truck drivers and pyrotechnics."
Amazingly, the stage didn't immediately explode, and the band was able to play for several nights without incident while the animals just sort of stood around, struggling to understand what foul circumstance had befallen them.
Look at 'em, just grazing all over the stage.
Finally, one of the buffaloes decided that if he had to listen to "Sharp Dressed Man" one more goddamned time, he was going to kill everything that ever lived, and ZZ Top, too preoccupied with scanning the arena for the least fat denim-vested woman to impregnate, ignorantly played "Sharp Dressed Man." The buffalo lost his mind and started thrashing all over the stage like an anaphylactic Meat Loaf getting stabbed with an EpiPen in the middle of "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Forgoing the small disaster that would have resulted from crushing the band's amplifiers, the buffalo decided to elevate the threat level to "fucked beyond all hope" and smashed open the rattlesnake tanks.
Being born and raised in Texas (as they had taken several delightfully irresponsible steps to remind everyone), one might assume that ZZ Top had some idea of how to get a bunch of pissed-off rattlesnakes under control, presumably involving either a shotgun or flaming whiskey bottles, both of which were likely in ready supply. This was not the case.
"... shit."
Drummer Frank Beard (ironically, the only band member without the billowing facial hair of a roadhouse Gandalf) sagely suggested playing something soothing to try to calm the snakes, until, in a long overdue moment of clarity, they realized that this was a terrible idea that could never possibly work. So, the band heroically ran offstage, leaving the roadies to figure out how to corral a rampaging buffalo and a torrent of furious rattlesnakes without getting superkilled so completely that they turned to dust and disappeared from photographs.
#4. The Who Blows Up a Television Show
We've previously discussed the Who drummer Keith Moon's propensity for not giving one fantastic fuck about anything, ever. Related to that roguish charm, he had a habit of loading his drum set with explosives and detonating them at the end of each show to coincide with Pete Townshend smashing his guitars, provided Moon was still conscious and hadn't slumped over his snare drum into a narcotic dreamscape (the odds were variable).
Meanwhile, John Entwistle barely even knew he was there.
So, when The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour invited the Who to perform live on national television, Moon figured he'd stuff his bass drums twice as full as he normally did, because there was no greater exposure for a band back in 1967 than being on live TV, and explosions are awesome.
After a more or less typical rendition of "My Generation" in which Moon and Townshend were the only ones remotely interesting to watch, while Roger Daltrey twirled around like a gypsy and Entwistle vacantly plucked his bass while staring eerily into the middle distance, Townshend began smashing all his equipment. Moon, taking his cue, pressed the switch to set off the explosives. You can probably guess what happened next, but it's way more fun to watch it:
Moon's bass drum detonates like Tommy Lee Jones at the end of Blown Away. Townshend instantly disappears in a cloud of smoke, Daltrey gets flung into the camera, Moon dives off the stage like he's escaping a mine cart explosion and Entwistle barely reacts. After the smoke clears, they all wander back together to assess the damage like neighbors gathering in the front yard to watch a DUI stop. The drum kit looked like a plane crash, Townshend's hair was singed, Moon had a piece of shrapnel embedded in his arm and the Who was never invited onto a variety show ever again.
Otherwise it went pretty well, though.

When Teresa Clayton and Brandy Dorsch of Hancock County heard about the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, they were ready to spring into action to gather some overlooked emergency items to send east - blankets, teddy bears and sweat shirts.
Clayton began Operation Blankets, Bears and Warm Clothing with her daughters Dorsch and Martha Harbaugh after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks with the idea that bringing comfort to children affected by the disaster would be a first step toward healing.
"When I heard about people receiving food cans and other items, I wondered what they were doing for the children. As a child you need more comfort, and that's what we wanted to do was give more comfort to these children," Dorsch said. "We collect stuffed animals, blankets, anything to warm the hearts of children affected by disaster."

PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT — Brandy Dorsch, left, and her mother, Teresa Clayton, prepare teddy bears, blankets, and supplies to be taken to New York for those who lost their belongings during Hurricane Sandy. -- Contributed
To help with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast, Operation Blankets, Bears and Warm Clothing is again collecting new or gently used stuffed animals, blankets and sweat shirts of all sizes to send to the devastated areas of New York and New Jersey.
Clayton and Dorsch, who also collected items after Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, have traditionally sent items to affected areas. This year, however, the two hope to make the trip to visit the areas in need.
"It would be nice to be able to go and get to know a few people, talk to them and be a shoulder to cry on," Dorsch said. "I'd like to be there to help as much as I can."

Are there any programming languages that have a built-in database as a first-class language feature rather than connecting to an external SQL (or other) database? What would be the drawbacks and benefits to such a feature? What would such a feature look like and how would it change the way we program?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The only language that I can think of is the old xBase languages like DBase, Clipper and FoxPro. There is a GNU project that offers a free and mostly compatible version called Clip
The was also Pick Basic which tied a programming language directly to an database platform.
This has been done. It was an evolutionary dead end that limited how a language could access data.
Languages are "small" and databases are "big"; so whenever the two are combined, it's not a language with the database as a features, but a database with the language as a feature. Many databases have some proprietary languages tacked to them, e.g. PL/SQL, T-SQL.
I don't necessarily think the right question is "why aren't there?" but "why should there be?". What would be gained from having databases be a feature of the language? Remember, the language is at the very bottom of the programming stack. Making a language bloated affects everything. Thus, language designers need to be slow to add new features, especially ones that would involve such an investment.
There are 3 legacy systems that are close to your requirements:
Pick and MUMPS were developed years before the first academic paper on relational databases (which was about a decade before the first commercial SQL based database system made it to the market - from a company we now call Oracle; IBM's first attempt at a product fizzled and a successful SQL based system was later). You might find them still in use (our local public transport system used Pick until recently for the trip planning system). You want nothing to do with either Pick or MUMPS, and the best advice I can give is "step away from the keyboard with your hands in the air!" If you do have anything to do with them, the phrase "you'll be sorry" should be ringing in your ears.
Microsoft Access gets severely mocked and criticized in IT circles as it is quite easy for a non-developer to make a critical business app out of Access and have it mutate into something that the company quite literally cannot live without. It is also quite likely that quite a few developers got their start in developing via MS Access and as things kept getting bogged down they learned how to fix them (the first step is traditionally learning visual basic and rewriting the Access app first in VB, then in something "better"). It is possible to make a well behaved Access app that runs distributed with a huge amount of data - I've seen it done - but there are easier ways to do things, and it takes far less skill to make (and maintain) a well behaved app out of VB and SQL Server.
Since SQL Server 2005, Microsoft has introduced the capability to put CLR into stored procedures and functions. And if you want to be tricky about it, you could make datatypes that you could then use as columns in the database. I think Oracle has had something similar with Java.
That being said, I don't think there is anything stopping you from creating one, or hypothesizing about them. Pick and MUMPS are older than most coders here and reflect a very COBOLy way of looking at the world.
My personal advice is to keep things separate. Use a language that is good at manipulating the data your project needs (with the caveat that sometimes the "best" language is one that you can easily find programmers who can read/write the code). Use a database system that is good at keeping the data your project needs.
Would you consider:
as candidates?
Adding database into a programming language might cater only to a very narrow set of users. What if they want to use some non RDBMS features? Or don't want to use a database at all? The compiler will unnecessarily be bloated for such use cases.
Well, first, you're asking why the framework the language operates in doesn't provide a database. A language is simply a means of expressing something that you want done in set grammers; it doesn't really provide services like that. :)
That said, there are several reasons.
That said, I guess it would be neat to include some sort of SQLite implementation within the framework that applications with smaller needs for data access could operate against. I'm not sure it would be useful in non-trivial applications, however.
they are; such languages are called 4GLs. DataFlex is my favorite, though I don't use it any more.
Caveat: I helped develop the object-oriented version of DataFlex, v3.0
I think your actual question is "why aren't there any programming languages that come with database libraries".
General purpose languages treat all IO as one and the same, be it writing or reading to/from a disk, a webcam, the network, the screen, a location in memory -- it's all IO, and that's all that programming languages concern themselves with.
In fact, aside from reading/writing to the heap and stack, most programming languages don't even do any actual IO. Some languages provide native features for expressing IO operations (e.g. the
Some languages like C# offer language features for expressing queries, but even then, those are just expressions on the most basic data structure of lists (or
As for why building a database package into a programming language's standard library isn't a good idea, it's most likely because nothing else in a standard library would normally depend on database functionality.
As written, the question is partly wrong, as some counterexamples above have shown.
So I'd first refine the question to read, "Why is a DBMS usually not integrated as a feature of a general-purpose, high-level programming languages?"
This is for the same reason that other software products such as operating systems, file systems, web servers, caching layers, etc. are usually not built-in. General purpose languages generally operate at a level of abstraction above that of such products . So it's reasonable for a programmer to implement a DBMS in a general-purpose language, and that DBMS might even expose aspects of its parent language or a DB-specific, declarative language for use by DB programmers. But there are too many design options in writing a DBMS for it to be wise to fix them in a general-purpose programming language. If you do fix them, you wind up with a case like MUMPS, where the entanglement of the two results in an entire industry mired in a chicken-and-egg problem, stuck with an obsolete DBMS and an obsolete programming language.
Yes. The languages on the AS/400 platform have native, first class support of databases.
This is because that the AS/400 platform has the database fully integrated everywhere and allows for a lot of very nice features, like ease of navigation through a resultset updating the values on the way through.
Erlang has Mnesia built in. Mnesia is a soft real time distributed database. Actually it is quite nice to use in a lot of ways. For one thing you can distribute it over several nodes with almost no effort. Secondly you don't need any form of ORM as it stores native Erlang data structures which is very handy.
You can also do things like list comprehensions over tables which is just really handy. Of course you can also use your favorite SQL or NoSQL database as well.
Depends on the language and the platform. For instance, it is quite trivial for me to use a variety of databases while working with C, I just use the appropriate library.
A language must maintain its standard implementation, and that typically means providing the minimum amount needed for someone to be able to build whatever they want to build. Everything else becomes a library, or perhaps an extension to the language that is maintained by others.
At least, this is the case for languages that follow standards established by organizations such as ISO.
Used to work in NonStop/SQL which was fully integrated into NonStop/C, NonStop/C++, NonStop/Cobol, NonStop/Fortran, and probably other languages as well as being fully integrated with NonStop/Guardian, the operating system on which the computers ran.
I think that's probably the closest integration you can get, where the database IS the filesystem of the operating system. It's also a dead end, there's no way to decouple any of the components, the database, the operating system, the hardware, and any software written on it can never be used separately, ported to another environment.
The closest you're going to get on a PC would likely be MS Access, Embarcadero/Borland Delphi being a close second.
After that, you're looking at embedded databases in your application, which can have limited appeal to those creating standalone applications that need a set of hierarchical data that's not easily stored in a simple configuration file and/or needs regular updating as the application runs. Or for people wanting to have a portable version of an application that maintains a snapshot of part of a larger database and maybe synchronises that with the larger database at times when the application can make connection (handy for say a salesman who's often out of reach of the corporate network yet needs sales data for his group of customers, or a doctor in the field who wants patient records but can't connect to the hospital network because there's no network access where he has to go).
As former Visual Foxpro developer, I tough that is odd that no mainstream language define the relational model as part of the language.
Having the full database engine is not good idea, but having the "SQL" language instead could be VERY useful.
In OO, exist the impedance mismatch. This happened because objects and set not like each other. But if a language let me define TABLES, FIELDS, RELATIONS, CONSTRAINS, etc (without tie it to a particular storage) will be very powerful. Plus, making a ORM will be more 1-to-1 mapping.

Ist Season playing with Sampdoria in November I was home to Milan and went two-nil up after 20 minutes, then a key midfielder for my side got sent off after 22 minutes. I held out until half-time but by the 55th minute it was 2-2. I was gutted. Milan had changed formation to play with two strikers at half-time and were all over me. Suddenly on 62 mins Ancelotti took off a striker and went back to one up front, and also played with a less attacking mentality.
I got back in the game and got the winner in the 82nd minute!
Partick Thistle 1-0 Rangers.
The year is 2014.
The Old Firm have lost their power.
I had to beat Rangers on the last day of the season to leapfrog them and win the SPL.

Well anyone know what the record for a competitive league game is
26 - 0 iirc
Manchester City 1 - Portsmouth 1

First game in charge, not the start I was hoping for, but not a disaster either.
Rijeka 2-1 Dinamo (Croatian First Division).
Really annoyed, particularly because my Mexican midfielder who's banged in 5 or 6 penalties already missed one in the 88th minute. Now dropped to 3rd, 6 pts off the leaders. 19 games to go though, so plenty of time left.
Holland 2-0 Slovenia
My 2nd game in charge, my first competitive game in 2012/2013
Sniejder and huntelar. Must win the champions league with Roma and World Cup with Holland at the same time! Think that would be pretty good going!
Chelsea 2-1 Blackburn (2014/15)
I'm Blackburn A win would have taken me ahead of them at the top of the table.

As I have been studying algebraic topology, something that I found puzzling was the existence of finite homotopy groups. For instance, $\pi_{4}(S^{2})\cong\pi_{5}(S^{4})\cong\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. I was wondering if there was any kind of intuitive reason for why this might be true, and if there are spaces $X$ such that $\pi_{1}(X)$ is finite. Speaking very roughly, it would seem that a finite, nontrivial fundamental group means that if you repeat a closed path enough times, it can be contracted to a point, something which I find rather hard to visualize. So the question is: Is there any intuitive reason for the existence of finite homotopy groups?
The simplest (to understand) case of finite $\pi_1$ is the group $SO_3$. This can be illustrated using an arm or a belt! $SO_3$ is the group of rotations in space and a based loop in $SO_3$ can be thought of as a description of the motion of an object in such a way that it ends up back where it started. By attaching a strip of paper to the object, it's possible to see this path in space. For example, taking a belt and holding one end fixed whilst moving the other, or moving your hand (your arm forms the "strip").
So: hold your hand out in front of you, this is easiest if you do it palm-up. Keeping it palm-up, rotate it under your arm back to where you started. Your arm is now twisted (hopefully not too badly). Continue moving your hand in the same direction and with your palm facing up but this time over the top of your arm. When your hand gets back to where it started, your arm is now magically untwisted! So two times round the loop gets you back to an untwisted state, thus $2\gamma = 0$. But $\gamma \ne 0$ as evidenced by your twisted arm at the half-way stage.
If you find this difficult to do, here's an alternative way using a belt. Take a belt and twist it once (that is, hold it out straight and imagine an axis along its length, then twist one end all the way around). Now try to straighten it without twisting either end (though you can move either end in space). Can't be done. But if you twist the belt twice then it can.
(There's some funky you-tube videos showing the arm twists. If you get really good at it, you should do it with a beaker of water.)
About $\pi_5(S^4)$, this is already in the stable range, so that it is isomorphic to the cobordism group of immersed curves in the plane. That is clearly ${\mathbb Z}/2$ since you can cancel double points pairwise by attaching handles. There are papers from the late 1970s and early 1980s by Koschorke, Sanderson, and Eccles that describe these correspondences. Basically they are Pontryagin Thom constructions. The cobordism group of immersions with specific normal bundles is isomorphic to the homotopy group of a Thom space. WHen the bundle is trivial, the Thom space is trivial. See also a recent preprint of Snaith about the Kervaire invariant 1 problem.
To distill some points made in other comments, you must understand $\pi_1$ and covering space theory simultaneously, as they are two sides of the same coin and each informs the other.
Ryan's description of $RP^2$ as a Mobius band capped off by a disk hints at the process to produce a space $X$ satisfying $\pi_n(X)=G$ for any group (abelian if $n>1$) $G$. (If finite $\pi_1$ is hard to visualize, think about a space with $\pi_1$ the real numbers, or the circle!) The basic idea is to take a wedge of $n$ spheres and attach some $n+1$ disks. The idea is that the $n$-spheres generate and the $n+1$ disks introduce relations.
Note that $SO(3)$ is obtained from $RP^2$ by attaching a $3$-disk which doesn't affect $\pi_1$ but does $\pi_2$. So $\pi_2(RP^2)=Z$ and $\pi_2(SO(3))=0$.
But your question hints at more subtle kinds of examples, namely $\pi_n(S^k)$ when $n>k$. Those are finite (except for some cases when $n=2k-1$) and non-trivial for many $n$ and $k$. Note that there are no $n$ or $n+1$ disks around, so these groups are non-zero for interesting reasons. Sorting out what the $\pi_n(S^k)$ are and why is a beautiful and impossibly difficult branch of mathematics. Scott hints at some geometric approaches using immersions and embeddings. There are many other ways to study these groups.
Some neat examples of finite fundamental groups G of 3-manifolds are given by the quotients of the sphere S3 of unit quaternions by a finite subgroup G, such as the quaternion group {1, -1, i, -i, j, -j, k, -k} or order 8, or the double covers of orders 24, 48, 120 of the rotations of the platonic solids. The case of the group of order 120 gives the Poincare 3-sphere, which has the same homology of the 3-sphere but different fundamental group.
Perhaps it isn't necessary to add another answer, but here is one more nevertheless.
A lot of standard examples have $\pi_1(X)=C_2$ or have a $C_2$ as a factor. I think it's harder to visualize spaces with larger cyclic $\pi_1$, so here's a simple example.
Pick a positive integer $n$. We'll construct a space with $\pi_1(X)=C_n$. Take the closed unit disc $D$ in the plane: $D=\{(x,y):x^2+y^2\le1\}$. Identify points on the circumference an angular distance of $2\pi/n$ apart. We get a quotient space $X$, where $(\cos t,\sin t)$ and $(\cos(t+2\pi/n),\sin(t+2\pi/n))$ are identified. In $X$, the map from $[0,2\pi/n]$ to $X$ taking $t$ to $(\cos t,\sin t)$ is a loop $\lambda$. Tracing out $\lambda$ $n$ times gives the whole circumference. This big loop can be contracted by passing it over the centre of the disc $D$, but no smaller positive integer multiple of $\lambda$ can be contracted.
Now, intuiting higher homotopy groups is a much harder matter ....
One approach is to understand this as part of the geometry of universal covering spaces. Such spaces are simply connected (even sometimes contractible), but may have finite groups acting on them sufficiently "nicely" (and there's the catch) so that the quotient inherits the finite group as its fundamental group. In fact if the long exact sequence of a fibration (of homotopy groups) applies, you can force a fundamental group to coincide with a discrete group as fibre.

WIMMER PERFECT AT RED BUD Wimmer gaps his points lead to 45
Chino, Calif. - August 3, 2009 - It was another fantastic weekend for the Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki team, as defending champion Dustin Wimmer (#1) increased his points lead with two strong moto wins, while veteran rider Doug Gust (#55) finished a solid fourth overall at the historic Red Bud Track\'n\'Trail facility.
Wimmer and teammate Gust were fast from the beginning of the race weekend, with each rider logging fast times in practice and qualifying. When the gate dropped for the first moto, the two Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki riders found themselves in third and fourth. In a matter of laps, however, Wimmer was in second with his sights set on the leader. Wimmer, mounted on his Yoshimura prepared QuadRacer R450, set off after first place at an extraordinary pace, and was challenging for the lead by the midway point in the race. Wimmer claimed the position laps later, and would hold on for another dominating race victory. Teammate Gust, meanwhile, had a race-long battle for third before taking the position for good.
"I had to work my way up," said Wimmer after the first moto. "Halfway through, though, I got into the lead. I started getting pressured, but I continued riding safe and smart and I was able to get the win!"
Moto two was another challenge for Wimmer. He was second off the line and made the pass for the lead early on, but soon thereafter was part of a three-man battle for the lead, with teammate Gust just behind them. As the race wore on, however, it became apparent that Wimmer would not surrender first place! He crossed the line in first and with it, grabbed the overall victory with another clean 1-1 sweep. Gust would finish in sixth place after a tough moto, securing an excellent fourth place overall.
The day belonged to Wimmer however, as he clearly demonstrated why he has the big number one on his quad. "I got a good jump, got a little lead going, but those guys were right behind me the whole time," commented Wimmer after the moto. "They kept pushing me along, but I just rode my own race and brought it home for the win. The bike ran great all weekend, and I\'m pretty much back to 100%. Right now, we\'re 45 points ahead. If I have a halfway decent first moto at Loretta\'s, I\'ll wrap the championship up, but I go to every race prepared to win, so I\'ll be pushing out there just like every other moto!"
There was another Yoshimura-sponsored rider claiming victory at Red Bud: Chase Snapp in the Pro-Am Production class. Great job Chase!
The series now heads to the final stop on the tour, Loretta Lynn\'s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN, August 15-16.
Overall Results:
1. Dustin Wimmer, Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki
4. Doug Gust, Rockstar/Makita Suzuki

Free-to-play RoboCop movie tie-in out now on iOSWritten by: / / 2 Comments
It wasn't so long ago that publishers were charging us full price for games based on blockbuster films but the rapidly growing free-to-play market has changed all that. The latest example of this is the official game of the RoboCop film which lands in US cinemas next month.
This free-to-play title is out now for iOS devices via the iTunes App Store and will be released for Android platforms on January 15th. By the looks of the trailer and screens below RoboCop is a cover-based shooter featuring plenty of weapon and suit upgrades:
[nggallery id=457 template="el33t"]
Here's the game's synopsis which naturally reads very similarly to the upcoming RoboCop film's description:
"In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy, a loving husband, father and good cop is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
"Join the OmniCorp program to become RoboCop, the ultimate law enforcement officer! Battle human crooks, robot enemies and learn how to defend the citizens from the corrupt streets of Detroit."

I'm using a GridView following this tutorial.
In my app, each image in the grid acts as a button that takes the user to another screen. That's all fine and dandy.
What I'm having trouble with is finding some way to darken the image once a user clicks down, and then lighten it again when the user releases it.
onItemClickListener doesn't have an
onItemDownClick function built in. What would be the best/most pain free way to create this functionality, or a similar function?

I saw this short film on American television some time in the late '70s or early '80s. It pretended to be a low-budget homage to Alfred Hitchcock, with scenes and techniques based on Hitchcock's, only much more gratuitous and heavy-handed. It had a voice-over/commentary that was supposedly the nerdy, overly enthusiastic student director explaining each scene to Hitchcock himself, with Hitchcock responding in a deadpan, unimpressed manner. (I don't think it was really him, but it sounded like him.)
There was a shower scene similar to the one in Psycho. In the voice over, Hitchcock asks where the bathroom is, and the director starts to go into detail about where they filmed the scene. Hitchcock interrupts him with "No, no. WHERE is the BATHROOM?"
There is a scene where someone is trying to hide among the spectators at a tennis match. As the hand-held camera slowly approaches the stands, every head is turning back and forth in time with the sound of the ball being hit, except for the one guy in the center of the frame, who is staring straight ahead.

There are many hidden gems in Las Vegas. These restaurants may not heavily advertise and may be some distance from the Strip – but they also have some of the most amazing dining experiences (and are an absolute bargain when you consider what things cost on the Strip).
Kabuto is a tiny, simply decorated restaurant that seats exactly twenty four people. And, unless you are looking for it, you will probably have a hard time finding it. We even had some trouble, though we were able to find the plaza it is located in using GPS. Once there, you need to look for the restaurant with the smallest possible sign – from a distance it it looks like it doesn't even have a sign. We had to walk right up to the door to confirm we were at the right place.
Once inside you will notice how small it is – they have ten seats at the bar and four tables – three four tops and a two top. We were seated at a two top and kind of squished into a corner. (I soon forgot any discomfort, though, once amazing food started coming out).
In order to get a good idea of what the chef had to offer, we decided on the Middle Omakase, which costs $80 per person. We decided to just have water for a drink since the goal was to truly enjoy the fish. The waitress asked us if there was any type of fish we didn't want to eat/couldn't have. I took this opportunity to inform her that I have a pretty strong dislike for fish roe. I don't mind it as a garnish on a roll but I won't eat much of it, otherwise.
Our first 'course' was more of an apertif. It was a small glass filled with the most amazing sake. The waitress told us it was a lemon sake that the chef made at home. It was really light, sweet and refreshing.
This was followed by a Jack Mackeral Salad, with sweet vinegar, cucumber, scallion and nori (seaweed). The sashimi started to come out next. The waitress was very informative, telling us what each fish was and where it had come from. The first grouping was Blue Fin Tuna (Spain), Opal Eye (Japan), Jack Mackerel (Japan) and Orange Clam (Boston). I was immediately struck by how fresh the fish was. I don't think I've ever had sashimi that was quite that fresh – and I live on the Atlantic coast!
The next set to come out was Breem with miso sauce, Kobe beef with daikon radish and ponzu sauce, and Spanish Mackerel with salt from Japan. The Breem was my favorite, though I also really enjoyed the mackerel. The salt it came with was light and subtle and really added to the taste of the mackerel.
The next two courses consisted of Medium Fatty Tuna (Spain), Blue Fin Tuna (Japan), Deep Sea Porgy (Japan), Snapper, Young Yellowtail, Japanese Mackerel, Sea Eel and Tamago. The Young Yellowtail was substituted for me since instead of Salmon Roe. I was very happy with this unexpected surprise since my favorite roll of all time is made with Young Yellowtail. My boyfriend received the Salmon Roe, which he said was the best he'd ever had. It came in a tiny bowl with a spoon, like caviar would. I also have to mention the Tamago. While all of the fish in courses 3 and 4 were excellent, the Tamago was hands-down the best I had ever tasted.
At this point the waitress came over and explained that we were finished with our main courses, though we were free to order something extra off the menu. She pointed out some of the options we had not tried and explained what they were. The boyfriend had the Triangle Tuna while I tried the Kamashita Fatty Tuna. Both tasted incredible though the triangle was bit tougher and the Fatty Tuna was smooth and rich. Two very different tastes but both are worth trying if you like Tuna.
We were surprised by two more courses – a premium Fatty Tuna Hand Roll and a bowl of Miso Soup. The roll was great, with a fresh seaweed wrap and the perfect balance of rice and fish.
For dessert we had a strawberry crepe and homemade mochi. The mochi was very tasty, with a relatively thin shell and delicious ice cream. The strawberry crepe was more like a mille feuille pastry. It consisted of very thin layers of alternating strawberry cream and pastry. Much better than I had anticipated.
While the meal was not exactly cheap, it was overall the best sushi I have ever had. I would definitely do it again.
I am fairly certain that the next Omakase up included the Triangle and Fatty Tuna. I also know that the menu changes with the season and availability of fish so some items I mentioned may not be available for future meals.

...Netflix has outbid several major cable networks, including HBO and AMC, for Media Rights Capital's drama series House of Cards, executive produced and directed by David Fincher and exec produced by and starring Kevin Spacey.
Negotiations are still going on, but I hear Netflix landed the drama project by offering a staggering commitment of two seasons, or 26 episodes. Given that the price tag for a high-end drama is in the $4 million-$6 million an episode range and that a launch of a big original series commands tens of millions of dollars for promotion, the deal is believed to be worth more than $100 million.
Given the strong interest in House of Cards from multiple networks, observers had speculated that the project may get an episodic commitment, but a massive two-season order is pretty unheard of these days. Going straight to series itself is a risky proposition as attested by NBC, which recently tried it before reverting to the traditional pilot model. Besides the sandals-and-toga Rome, which was a co-production with the BBC, HBO has piloted all of its projects, including those with A-list talent such as Martin Scorsese/Terence Winter's Boardwalk Empire and Michael Mann/David Milch's Luck starring Dustin Hoffman. AMC went straight to series with The Walking Dead but with a modest six-episode order. Rome and Fox's CGI extravaganza Terra Nova started off with 13-episode orders. Snatching a high-profile project like House of Cards is certain to put Netflix on the map. But by committing to air and market a 26-episode original series, something it has never done before, it will also put the company to the test.
Netflix has been looking to diversify beyond movies. The day Amazon.com announced its entry into the online video space, Netflix unveiled a $200 million deal with CBS for two years for nonexclusive rights to stream such shows as The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Family Ties, Twin Peaks, Cheers and Frasier. Adding original series to the portfolio seems like a natural next step.
In his TV directorial debut, Fincher will helm the pilot for House of Cards, which is based on the book and British miniseries of the same name. Fincher is executive producing with Eric Roth, Joshua Donen as well as Spacey and his producing partner at Trigger Street Prods. Dana Brunetti. The political-thriller novel House of Cards, written by Michael Dobbs, a former Conservative Party chief of staff, is set at the end of Margaret Thatcher's tenure as prime minister and follows a British politician with his eye on the top job. In 1990, it was adapted by the BBC as a miniseries written by Andrew Davies and starring Ian Richardson. Fincher's adaptation, set in the U.S., was written by playwright-screenwriter Beau Willimon (The Ides of March).
Boldness (and some pretty deep pockets)!

New Nautilus version 3.6 (coming with Gnome 3.6 / Ubuntu 12.10) is showing annoying text tips on the bottom right/left edge as a new feature.
Is there a way to disable it?
No, there is no way to remove the tip in the bottom left/right edges when you select a file or folder showing it's information.
This has been called floating status bar and the gnome developers wants to remove the old status bar also!! The old status bar is still available in 12.10. If you select from menu → View → Status bar, the old status bar will be activated and you will get rid of the new floating status bar. You can use this as a workaround.
There is a recent commit in nautilus source to remove the old status bar completely. The commit can be seen here. The main line of importance there is this two one:
If you don't want this feature, I would suggest you to compile the nautilus yourself.

It's $14.95 and I believe free shipping.
14.95 with free shipping. YES!
No price in the title?
Nice price and in stock.
@senordunda: shhh....if it was done correctly it would be sold out already....lol.
yep, in for one.
Apologies. I've posted much here and am not familiar with the posting wizard. Didn't even notice a title area. I've tattled asking a mod to update it since I can't edit it.
$14.95 with FREE Shipping is correct.
chuckle this deal is posted daily
Isn't Write Speed of 10 MB/s a bit slow for Class 10? My Sandisc Class 10 is 45 MB/s read/write
@dekonreign: Class 10 means read and write speed must both be over 10MB/s
The only SanDisk that's ~45MB/s is the Extreme UHS-1. It's not your everyday SD card and is no where near this price. Your average consumer does not buy this card. So if you have one, you know exactly why it costs what it does.

I want to create an e-learning website and host it. (Maybe after some time I want to add forms.)
These are the things I know: java, jsp, servlet, html (not guru, almost beginner).
I don't have experience in creating websites, I did my college project using jsp,servlet and jdbc.
What are the things or technology I need to know before creating website.
Is it possible to create a website by one person?

We love these cookies. My husband and I are huge chocolate chip cookie fans but we hate how bad they are for you. These are addicting and no one every asks if they are "healthy" b/c they don't taste it!
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
179 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
These were very good. Passed the raw cookie dough test and then were approved by a house full of kids.
I made these for Father's Day and everyone LOVED them! I will make this again! Yum.
I made these for Father's Day and everyone LOVED them! I will be making these again!
My husband loves oatmeal butterscotch cookies to I added butterscotch chips and dried cranberries in place of the chocolate chips. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. These cookies were a huge hit in my family and my kids kept begging for more. My husband had no idea they were a healthy version of his favorites! He now asks for these every time!

I am in the IT industry working with software all day long from logic to code. Sometimes, very seemingly small things take a long time while larger tasks are solved in jiffy.
I have a habit of letting things lingering on: if something is complicated, I'll do it later; if it's not a lot to do, I'll do it later; if there's too much chaos around here I'll do it later.
This procrastination leads to bad consequences, such as late night stays in the office, to the point where it's now almost turned into a habit (something I have observed with several people), which ruins my social life during week days.
It's a major issue, any research or helpful response can save lot of US.

(LAKE OZARK, Mo.)-Columbia College-Lake Ozark awarded a $500 scholarship to Lisa Kilpack of Camdenton in honor of Frank S. Westling. Westling was a former dean of the college's Extended Studies Division, which serves adult learners and military personnel nationwide.
Kilpack is a sophomore business administration and computer information systems major and managing member of Krafty Kreations LLC. She is a church and community volunteer and has served as a Sunday school teacher, nursery leader and choir member.
The scholarship was awarded to one student at most of Columbia College's 30 nationwide campuses. To qualify for the Westling scholarship, applicants had to:
- Complete a scholarship application
- Pursue degree completion with Columbia College
- Have a minimum Columbia College GPA of 3.0
- Have residency of at least 15 hours with Columbia College
- Have a history of leadership and service to their community, school or country
- Write a 400-500 word essay on their achievements and career goals
"Columbia College is proud to offer this scholarship to students at our extended campuses," said Mike Randerson, Columbia College vice president for Adult Higher Education. "Frank Westling was instrumental in establishing the Extended Studies Division to serve working adults and military personnel, and he would be pleased to know the scholarship is helping fulfill the educational goals of students around the country."
Prior to joining the college, Westling served in the U.S. Army for 31 years and retired as a colonel. He was a highly decorated infantry soldier and was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal and Silver Star.
The Westling Scholarship is a nonrenewable scholarship and will be awarded to a new student each year.
Columbia College was founded in Missouri in 1851. Today, the college serves 20,000 students at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Graduate Program, 30 nationwide campuses and Online Campus.

How would you say "
to make no sense" in German? I've seen uses with
machen and
Das macht keinen Sinn.
Es hat keinen Sinn, mit Ihnen zu streiten.
How would you say "
First, "Sinn haben" and "Sinn machen" (but more to the latter below) have different meanings:
means that something is futile, ein sinnloses Unterfangen.
When we come to the expressions which are closer to the English "to make sense" we open a can of worms. The nearest proper German expression is "Sinn ergeben".
There is also the expression "Sinn machen" with more or less the same meaning. This is probably a relatively recent (meaning I remember encountering it in the 1980s, but that might say more about my own age) anglicism, and as such is fervently hated by some. However, I think that the German "Sinn ergeben" does not mean exactly the same as the English "make sense" (I would need some time to collect my thoughts on this), so maybe there is a place for "Sinn machen" in the German language. Pragmatically, it cannot be stopped anyway.
You might be interested in this discussion of the subject, in which it is argued that "Sinn machen" does not make sense in German, because the possible meanings of "Sinn" and "machen" differ from those of "sense" and "to make".
I think in Yiddish we can say "Das stimmt nischt". Does that work in German?
We also have "Das liegt sich nischt auf'n seykhel" with the Hebrew term. Literally that's probably close to "it doesn't stand to reason".
No sense
"Das macht Sinn" is a sentence coming from the English language. "Das hat Sinn" is an older, but also more correct German.
Here's a german article about them: http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/zwiebelfisch/zwiebelfisch-stop-making-sense-a-261738.html

18 Old-Timey Photos You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped
We've worked long and hard here at Cracked to make it clear that the past was badass. All you have to do is sift through old-timey photos, and you quickly realize that people back then possessed neither sanity nor a sense of self-preservation. Trust us, the explanation behind these seemingly inexplicable photos tends to make them even more baffling.
#18. "Gentlemen, We Can Rebuild Him. We Have the Technology ..."
So ... what can that be other than two Nazi scientists doing repairs on a robot super-soldier?
Actually, this 1964 pic from Popular Science depicts the wizards/Nazi scientists at Walt Disney Studios building an automated caveman for the 1964 New York World's Fair. See? That's not horrifying at all.
Walt Disney was quick to calm the world's fears about his horrifying creations, reminding everyone that only he knew "the killing code."
#17. A Bicycle Built for ... Two
This 1890s photo is of the legendary "Armless Wonder" Charles B. Tripp of Woodstock, Canada, who was born without arms yet enjoyed a fantastic career in the furniture business. Next to him sits Eli Bowen of Ohio, who if you look closely was born without legs but does enjoy two feet.
In the compassionate late 19th century, being born with a deformity meant joining the circus. So both men toured the world with Barnum and Bailey and eventually married, though it was Bowen who wooed ladies as "the handsomest man in his line of business."
Take that, Mr. "Armless Wonder"!
#16. The Model T Vending Machine
Are you tired of delinquents stealing the hand crank to your Model T? Well, bamboozle those scalawags with a car lift! The fools will either be powerless to harm your car or will die trying to steal it.
This isn't some ridiculous "city of the FUTURE!" concept art; this photo of an "elevator garage" was taken in 1936 Chicago by photographer John Gutmann, and here it is from another angle. All we can picture is us dropping in a nickel to get our car back and then seeing it get stuck at the top like a bag of chips in a vending machine.
#15. The Racist-est Place on Earth
How far back in American history do you have to go to find the Ku Klux Klan openly riding the Ferris wheel, presumably screaming "wheeee!!!" the whole time? To 1928, apparently. That "every day is the carnival when you're in the Klan!" publicity photo was taken in Colorado (the owner of the carnival was also a Klansman).
It was a different time.
It was 1881 when William "Doc" Carver came up with the idea of dropping a horse 60 feet into water for financial gain, a spectacle that quickly become a popular attraction at Atlantic City's Steel Pier. If you're not understanding what is cruel about this trick, you're not picturing what practice must have looked like.
Carver claimed he got the idea when a bridge collapsed under him one day and he and his horse plummeted into the river below. Back then, witnessing gruesome accidents was all most people had for entertainment. So making it in showbiz involved nothing more than finding some tragedy you could replicate on a nightly basis.
#13. Goddammit Another Ball Went Into the Propeller
Barely 20 years after the invention of the airplane, mankind started doing shit like this. This 1925 photo depicts a male and female daredevil pretending to play tennis on the wing of a biplane.
Based on what we know of the era, we're guessing there is either no one flying the plane, or it's a chimpanzee.
#12. Vote McKinley/Roosevelt!
This picture is real, this scene existed, and yes, at one point in our history, you could have actually voted for this man.
We do not know if this was a publicity stunt, a routine hunting incident or seriously how our beloved President Theodore Roosevelt used to ride to work every day. All we know is that it was taken during the 1900 presidential election campaign and as far as we are concerned, virtually guaranteed William McKinley's re-election for as many terms as God gave him.
On that note, President McKinley was dead a year later.
#11. Apparently, Hitler Loved Women's Hockey
Not only did Hitler forever ruin a perfectly good mustache, he also ruined one of the classic good-luck symbols -- the swastika. Once upon a time, it was as common a symbol to see on a team uniform as the five-pointed star is now.
So, for instance, here's the 1909 Chilocco Indian Agricultural School basketball team:
They even named the teams "The Swastika" -- here's the San Francisco YMCA Swastika ...
... and the proud Canucks of the Windsor Swastikas ...
We're just waiting for some league or other to bring these back for Throwback Jersey Day. It's history, dammit!
#10. Call of Duty: Old-Timey Warfare
It's easy for us to laugh, but in 1899 this must have looked like a terrifying vision of the future. Even if the guy was wearing a tie, bowler hat and dress shoes. Back in those days, if you were not the more finely dressed army, you were considered to have lost the war regardless of how much land you seized.
That's inventor F.R. Simms, by the way, demonstrating his Simms Motor Scout armored quadricycle. Can somebody in the comments photoshop this guy onto a battlefield littered with blood and maimed bodies?

I am looking for a way to add Google Earth imagery to ArcMap 10. Over a year ago, a GIS.SE member mentioned Arc2Earth was the only way to accomplish this (04/2011 thread). Another somewhat convoluted approach is described here. Has there been any progress in bringing Google Earth imagery to ArcGIS?
I agree Google's imagery is better than Bing's in many cases. I also think the answer is correct, that you can't use Google's imagery inside ArcGIS and probably won't be able to - ever. If you're in Minnesota, we've taken a stab at this problem by setting up a "Composite Imagery Service": http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/composite_image.html
It is very "Google-like" in that it provides a single layer image service that automatically switches to an appropriate set of air photos or satellite imagery depending on the scale and extent. We update the "low altitude" imagery as much as we can to keep it fresh. The images are provided as a WMS. I know this isn't an answer nationwide, but I thought it would be useful to post this here in case any Minnesota users ask this question. I also encourage other states to do the same thing.
If you are working in the states, you may prefer http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ as I think neither Google nor ESRI allows to get google maps in your desktop application.
Google in the first place doesn't provide services such as WMS. Please check following links:
http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/40707-Using-Google-Maps-with-ArcMap-10 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!msg/google-maps-api/FORJbnvxICw/hwQeyjvr-CsJ
Google Maps basemap integration within ArcGIS is currently 'under consideration' at Arcideas, see here
Not a solution as such but it's certainly a feature that is on the radar.

Is there a possibility to develop a custom format display for a sharepoint list.
What I mean, can I develop a custom datagrid for the list webpart ?
While agreeing with the other answer suggesting the Data View Web Part, if you really want to get into code, then yes, you can develop a custom GridView to display your list data. There is even a class SPGridView which renders a 'SharePoint Looking' grid.
However, you'd be looking at having to add these to your own web part that you'd need to write. The Data View Web Part might be a better choice.
You should first try to look at the Data View Web Part and see if it fulfils your needs. With some XLST/JavaScript you can create some creative views/displays for your list.
Otherwise, you can always develop a Custom Web part to display list data. Here is an example
Be sure to see how far you can get using SharePoint Designer. People knock it, but, it's easy to misjudge. I've done some very very complex XSLT work by starting there. Depending on my needs, I export the XSL generated by SPD into my Visual Studio and bake it into a permanant fixture as part of my list definition / Schema.xml .. but, sometimes I find I can do everything I need in SPD ad-hoc without the need to really open up Visual Studio
It really speeds up tasks like custom row coloring based on list item value conditions.. but, even for more complex HTML rendering, if you learn how to carefully select the TD cell or the value-of node and then give things a nudge by doing an 'Insert HTML' command, SPD will then pull into the code view the long-lost template guts of whatever underlying XSL snippet from vwstyles that it was referencing.
Here's an example where I expose the comments field on a list. Comments can get long and 'blobby' and disrupt the grid-like flow of a list. I was able to incorporate the following snippet to cause comment strings longer than 60 chars to truncate into a 'More...' link.
You can see that the above is now formatted in a proper standalone .xsl file that I can use in Visual Studio, but, the good stuff was all created directly in SPD, FWIW.

sandwiches that are large and filling and do not contain tuna or prawns
Posted 14 March 2012 - 05:12 AM
Yes, that was probably the best thing I ate the entire trip. I think the ankimo on its own was a bit better at Seizan (not much, but I don't have a ton of experience with it), but that dish was incredible.
I still don't know how that sesame sauce happens.
Also, they were shocked that I arrived on time, because apparently even Japanese people have trouble finding it. From their map, this was probably the easiest place to find on the trip.

not a single malt, but the best value for money is probably nikka's "whisky from the barrel". 500 ml in a very attractive square bottle.
I just saw it at Donki for 1980. The bottle is nice but the cap isn't really, I'd probably bring it in a gift wrap.
pra -- turns out that okonomiyaki place is in the basement of the building where Viron is. Not any better or worse than other okonomi I've tried, a large lunch at around Y1000
p.s. I'm officially protesting this morning's earthquakes - 7:36, 7:43, 7:46, 8:04... like an alarm clock with an extra annoying snooze feature.
I never followed up on this.
I found "whisky from the barrel", but i was worried about buying a big bottle of something my friend might not like. I noticed a bunch of little bottles of whisky, so I decided to get an assortment of those. Not a frugal choice, but more fun, I thought. And then the next time I go to Japan, I can get whichever one she liked best.
These are what I bought--I just picked one of each mini bottle they had (and there's a special treat in the picture just for mongo!).

Seizan Mita
Seizan is a new (Opened June 2011) Kappo-Kaiseki place that's been receiving great reviews on tabelog.
Those reviews are fully justified and you should try and go before it becomes very difficult to book (at this point it is also fairly inexpensive, with the most expensive menu at Y15000 and the least expensive one at Y7000).
Stylistically it is closest to Ishikawa from all the places we've been (although a bit more traditional), and it is a unique demonstration of Japanese skill - four guys cook and serve an elaborate meal to about twenty-four diners (although sitting at the counter you wouldn't know there are two private rooms). No waiters, no busboys, no dishwashers, no general managers, all without breaking a sweat and all while being extremely nice (in particular, a young gay couple were there celebrating on of their birthdays and clearly excited about it - they were treated like royalty and more or less upgraded to the most expensive menu, and this is in a country where you see gay couples not always receiving the best of treatment at restaurants).
As for the food (all of it beautifully presented, of course):
An appetizer of sea urchin, yellowtail roe, lightly smoked tofu, and yuzu jelly
Clear dashi with a shrimp ball and daikon wrapped around a carrot and some green - the shrimp ball was the best we've had in this format (and this includes Koju) - it had every feature desirable feature of a good matzoh ball, but without the matzoh />/>
Sashimi of Kuruma ebi, snapper topped with shiso flowers, and the fattiest, most amazing piece of ankimo in existence - it seemed like the liver was very good to begin with and then steamed until the center was just cooked.
Anago on top of a grilled ball of almost-mochi (the rice grains were still there in tangible form) with ginkgo nuts in a kudzu thickened sauce.
Meat from a large crab, served in its innards (in the shell)
Ebi-imo cooked then fried, bottarga, miso broiled cutlass fish, arrowhead chips, king salmon ikura on rice
Raw flounder with its own roe - an exercise in restraint - you only feel texture initially but the flavor builds with every bite. I believe the only addition was a tiny bit of yuzu.
Raw potato noodles with crunchy roe<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
Grilled duck breast from a kind of sea duck with slow-grilled negi
Crab rice, soup, pickles
Matcha flan topped with "black gold" sauce and strawberry with whipped cream, some unfamiliar citrus (like a very small pomelo), and a jelly I think was described as passion fruit but was some other tropical fruit.
No English spoken. Highly recommended.
Many thanks for this recommendation. Really great, and still easy enough to communicate with extremely limited Japanese (pleasantries and some food terms), pointing, and smiling. Special thanks to the clerk at Lawson's Fresh that got us back on route from the subway.
Menu, mainly so I can remember, and try to add a bit back.
Ebi with mountain yam, dashi jelly, mountain vegetables
Tai Soup with Tai Collar and Bamboo Shoots
Sashimi (Tai, Ika, Ankimo, Salmon)
Abalone--this was incredible--they bring out a hollowed out tube of charcoal, with a bowl of abalone, a sauce of it's liver (pretty sure) and some greens. You dump the lot of it in, stir it up, and take the meat out when Yamamoto-san says so. Then they bring out a mochi, which gets added to the charcoal/innards/greens liquid, and stirred in. Just great.
Anago broiled with more mountain vegetables. Fiddleheads even painted on the dish.
Grilled Wagyu with leeks. Simple, but great.
Grated potato or radish.
Simmered Shirako, A fried grated potato thing that I couldn't quite catch the japanese for, fuki, fava beans.
Rice with Uni and bamboo shoots (leftovers pictured below)
Very Good Strawberries with Mascarpone
Some fancy orange juice. Super sweet, seemed to almost lack acidity--very round in taste I guess if that makes sense.
2 Stars from the tire-man. Congrats to them.
