Communication Breakdown
The letter goes on to say that music in a coffeeshop should be "unobstrusive", suggesting that they play classical music and save the loud stuff for "bars and student hang outs." What if someone wanted to "have a chat or read," hmmm?
You should go read the letter. They have it hanging on the wall, and there's a pen hung by it so you can respond to the letter. It's signed (no last name) but there was no return address.
A customer at the CG pointed out, "Some people just feel that every place they go to must cater to them." That's what they mean by the customer is always right, right? As a street of mostly independent businesses, all screaming their own personalities, we'd be nowhere if we became as bland as a mall. And yet, so many people really do seem to want sanitized sameness, where nothing and no one out of the ordinary will disturb them from their own little world.
All the responses written around the letter from the CG clientele are great, whether they're crude venting (someone drew a little penis on it) or thoughtful comments. It's like a message board of old. And overwhelmingly for Common Ground to stay the course.
And speaking of individuality in business and a healthy customer service attitude click on Kottke's musings on Shopsin's and their policy on parties of five:
It doesn't matter if one of you
offers to leave or if
you say you could split into
a party of three and a party of two
or if the five of you come back tomorrow
in Richard Nixon masks and try to pretend
that you don't know each other
It won't work: You're a party of five
even if you're a beloved regular
Even if the place is empty
Even if you bring logic to bear
Even if you're a tackle for the Chicago Bears
it won't work
You're a party of five
You will always be a party of five
Ahundred blocks from here
a hundred years from now
you will still be a party of five

i find it ironic that a person would send a complaint to a place called common ground.
oh yeah, if you can find it, check out the documentary "i like killing flies". it's about shopsin's.

Ohmygod, can't wait to see it! I put it on my Netflix queue but there's no release date yet.

I havent been to common ground in a while.... but its always been a cool chill place. Its funny this concept of sanatized / consistant business. My older brother loves starbucks, he lived in annapolis w/ tons of great indie coffee houses, and he still goes out of his way to go to starbucks. So I ask him why, and his response, is consistancy, which is just sad. Personality / life / passion is less consumer friendly then consistancy i suppose.

You know I've been to restaurants where the music is too loud and, if it is really bothering me (this has happened just a few times), I ask them to turn it down. They can or not. If they didn't I'd just think they were assholes and not go back, but that's never happened. The restaurant people always apologize and turn the music down a bit and I'm extra happy with the service and tell everybody how nice the people at that restaurant are.
I imagine the letter writer didn't even bother to ask the girls to turn the stereo. Instead he or she probably huffed and puffed obsessively about the loud music for days and could think of nothing except how abused they'd been by the coffee shop employees.
Also, Starbucks coffee is consistent--consistently burnt-tasting and gross.

Oh and I'd never try to tell some establishment what kind of music they should play!

Many of baseball's elite scouts will be at Wrigley Field this weekend to watch the Cubs' three top veteran pitchers, including Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza, for the purpose of making a deal.
"It looks like they set up the rotation in order to get every team interested in here for the final showings of these guys before they are dealt," a veteran American League Central scout said on the condition of anonymity. "Everyone is on Dempster and Garza, but (Paul Maholm is pretty good, and with his sinker and change-up could be undervalued right now."
Talking to industry sources, the Tigers and Dodgers appear to have been the most aggressive teams to pursue the Cubs' top two starters. The Dodgers have been on Dempster for seven weeks and may have been exchanging names for a deal in mid-June when the 36-year-old right-handed pitcher sustained a right lat strain. L.A. has good, young pitching coming fast in the lower minor leagues, which is is the No. 1 need in the Cubs organization.
Meanwhile the Tigers are looking at Garza and Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney in what could end up being a 5-to-7 player swap. Detroit has solid, young starters and position players who are -- or are close to being -- solid major league contributors. Money appears to be little issue for Tigers owner Mike Illitch, who wants to win now in the very competitive American League Central.
Teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates are considering a run at Maholm, who has a very manageable contract to go along with his previous eight years in the Pirate organization.
The July 31 deadline for non-waiver trades is not a pressing issue for the Cubs. Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer must decide what prospects will be the right ones before saying yes to what could end up shaping the team's building block player core for the next decade.

Skip to comments.Deceptive Fast Food Advertisements vs Reality
Posted on 10/20/2013 3:07:13 PM PDT by SamAdams76
My favorite one (not mentioned in this article) is the Dunkin Donuts "Big and Toasted". Here is the picture featured on the menu compared to reality...
But it's really more like this...
In China and Hong Kong the Restaurants all have fine print at the bottom of the menu that says "Pictures for reference only"
But do they taste good.
I saw a documentary that showed how they do it, and they don't even use food, they're plastic models.
that aside, every single fast food place I've been too, the quality is so poor, i'm still trying to figure how they can stay in business. I've actually given up on all of them.
once in a while they entice you. I tried the wendys pretzel burger, it sucked.
Yes, generally speaking, they do.
I remember seeing a print Magazine article about food photography for advertising some decades back.
they do some really strange stuff to the food to give the desired appearance.
tooth picks used as pins are used to level imperfect hanburger buns..and Elmers Glue was used in one photo to take the place of Sauce...
the goal is the IDEAL...what people THINK the food should look like
the "cheesey" window menu photography most often seen at Chinese Restaurants takes the Opposite approach,....and much of that stuff looks nearly inedible.
sadly trying to find any Photos of WIndow Menus.....returns millions of screenshots of WINDOWS computer desktop...or Id post a couple of those images for comparison sake.
A friend of mine was a food magazine photographer. He always had a spray bottle of oil to make the food look shiny and better.
I remember the first McDonald's I ever saw. It was around 1960 in Ft. Walton Bch. The hamburgers were 15 cents. There was no indoor seating and very little outdoors.
I can recall being surprised that they were good, especially the fries.
From around 1985 until very recently I can't recall eating at a fast food restaurant all all. Then maybe two years ago, I had to eat out and decided to try McDonalds.
I could not believe how bad it was. Just about inedible. Don't tell me they haven't changed.
ah yes the OIL.
the article I remember was either in PRINT Magazine of Communications Arts
my vocation is graphic arts although Ive made a few reasonable "fine arts" photographs.
I wish I could remember what the tin foil in the article mentioned above was used for...
If a burger flipper in CA gets $10/hr (or soon will get), how much does the guy who sits on the burgers before they're given to the customer get? There's no way that wrapped up mush happens naturally so someone has to have the sit and smash job.
When I worked at McDonald's (1974 the paper hat and blue barber shirt era). We called a tray of Big Macs that looked especially good "Movie Macs".
I wish I could remember what the tin foil in the article mentioned above was used for...
To put on your head and deflect the rays.
But instead it looked like this.
When I worked at McDonalds (1974 the paper hat and blue barber shirt era). We called a tray of Big Macs that looked especially good Movie Macs.
In 1972 when I wore the MickieD's sailor suit and looked particularly cute we had Big Macs for breakfast lunch and supper.
those studio Lights can get rather warm yes...
it may have been used to "level" one layer of food in a sandwich,,to "near perfection"
That website is a pos that will attack some browsers and lock them up.
Keep off.
Never cared much for the Mac myself. The fries were the only station I could work all day and still want to eat them. Of course they were still cooked in lard then.
Tricks we played on folks we didn't like... cook some apple pies in the filet-o-fish tank, "forget" to break the yolks on the egg mcmuffins so they'd squirt when bitten into.
As long as it's not squidward making 'em (the bottom picture)
i understand creating advertisement food is a big industry in asia. one of my preselect scenes on my camera is for food
Google or Yahoo! their chicken nugget ingredients and the "pink slime" they put in their burgers. You'll never eat there again.
White latex paint is used to simulate milk in some photos.
That's not a burger it's a krabby patty..
Tricks we played on folks we didnt like... cook some apple pies in the filet-o-fish tank, forget to break the yolks on the egg mcmuffins so theyd squirt when bitten into.
Those were the fun old days!
I would also always pull the shakes off the mixer too fast and end up with white, brown and pink stripes on my shirt.
Holy moly. That bottom photo is disgusting.
Whatever it is, it is NOT edible.
vs. Reality:
The whoppers I have bought at the burger king near me, indeed looks alot like the better one on the left. Not nearly as perfect looking, but damn close. I've NEVER seen a whopper that resembles anything like the one on the right.
Yes... Thanks for the jog to the memory!!
I wish I could find that article...Id scan it and post the images here.
The Whammy Burger
these were a few more of the tricks that were illustrated in the articel I cant find.
Food that begins to dry out can be revitalized with hairsprayany brand will do.
Steaks that have that perfectly seared look have had strategically placed grill marks enhanced with brown shoe polish.
To prevent the lettuce and tomato from wilting under the moisture of a raw burger (except for the blow torched edges), cardboard is placed between burger and lettuce, where the cardboard prevents the meat from smashing and wilting the lettuce. And if your burger doesnt have enough sesame seedsor perhaps you would like the seeds more artfully arranged, you can always glue some in the desired places.
White glue is also used in place of milk when photographing a bowl of cereal. Its also handy in repairing anything crumbly.
"You mean I'm the bad guy?"
I remember an expose from years ago, and not just for food:
1) marbles placed in a bowl of Campbell's soup, pushing up the beef and veggies to make it look like it was "chock full of ..."
2) hot wine used instead of coffee - no subterfuge here though as real coffee looked gray in the old black and white TVs
3) competitors ketchup heated up so that when a "thickness" comparison (pour both down a plate side by side), the competitor's ran quicker than the cold stuff.
4) Gillette foam softened so well that "you could even shave a piece of sandpaper with it". Turns out they smeared a pane of glass with Vaseline, sprinkled sand on it to make it look like a sheet of sandpaper, then "shaved" the plate.
5) the real gem was Libbey Owens Ford glass. They showed a distorted side window view out of a car that used a competitor's glass, the showed the same view, crystal clear, using their own. All they did was roll down the window.
I lost my innocence after reading that article. :-)
I would also always pull the shakes off the mixer too fast and end up with white, brown and pink stripes on my shirt.
I used to have to hitchhike home. Until my boss discovered that the mickieD uniform was hiking 35 miles home. I offered to change, but he found me permanent rides.
Young and thoughless
Love that movie as I equated with him on many levels. Everything from the smiling stonewall ("breakfast menu is over at 11:30" when the time was 11:32); 7-11 type store run by a foreigner who could barely speak English and financially raped you, etc.)
How about Subway? Gezz, the places reek and the sandwiches are nothing like what the ads show. They take a "V" cut out of the top so it LOOKS like there is some serious meat in them; if you are kind of blind. However the ads show them cut in half (like a normal sub) and loaded up with meat. Always thought that chain needed a false advertising lawsuit.
As far as the smell; I had to make a delivery to one recently. It was in a strip mall. No info on most of the back doors but their door was open and when I got close enough I knew I was in the right place.
Was there a McDonalds in FWB in 1960? Did they close and reopen later? I came down in 1970 and if I remember correctly, all we could find was a Burger King. We were from Tucson and had never heard of a Whopper.
Do they really look like that? I mean, that one looks like it came out of yesterday's dumpster. *yuck*!
I could be off a year or so but I am certain it was long before 1970.
"The whoppers I have bought at the burger king near me, indeed looks alot like the better one on the left. Not nearly as perfect looking, but damn close. Ive NEVER seen a whopper that resembles anything like the one on the right."
Same here. Usually the best burger for the money. We have Freddy's, Five Guys, Smash, Carl's, Red Robin, but I still prefer the good ol' Whopper.
From my experience the best at actually delivering upon the pics are Whataburger, Chik-Fil-A, McDonald's, and, Burger King. The worst? Carl's Jr, Hardees, Jack in the Box, and, Wendy's.
They all make things I like and don't like and that's perfectly fine. It's all good.
The single worst fast food sandwich I ever saw was the Wendy's "Baconator" from several years ago. It and the picture beared no resemblance to one another. It was a gooey mess swimming in grease and mounds of cheese. The bun was soaked through. There was not anywhere near the amount of bacon on the burger as was advertised in the pics. Pretty bad.

In the early 70's, young and thoughtless was less likely to end you in a world of hurt.
When we went to Canada we went to Harvey's, it blew McDonald's away.
In the early 70s, young and thoughtless was less likely to end you in a world of hurt.
sO true.
Once in a major city at about 2 am I turned a corner and walked into a gang brawl. I was surprised at them, and they were shocked to see me. I looked at them, put my hands out and then just walked through backpack and all. They were just stopped, chains dangling and I moved quickly. Young and thoughtless.
I am so glad I'm not a kid today.
Best to you, as always.

More Reasons to Like the Upper Peninsula
They have their own state fair and poet
You have to admire the Upper Peninsula's get-it-done attitude, even on civic matters. For instance, in 2009 the state stopped funding the state fair in the Upper Peninsula, so they organized their own. The fair just concluded its fourth year last weekend.
Another group didn't even ask the state for permission before naming a poet laureate, unlike those who wanted to run an official poet through the state legislative process.
Stay Engaged
The state already performs a lot of roles. It's nice to see civil society in the Upper Peninsula adopt some of those roles that are not legitimate functions of government.

How to access a website with multiple virtual hosts from Arduino Ethernet Shield. The problem is if you have used Arduino Ethernet Shield, then you know that you can connect a IP, But if the IP has multiple virtual hosts, it will only connect to default virtual host. If it is commercial shared VPS, You wont be able to make your site default.
Gist is use of HTTP protocol which allows you to define host in your request on virtual host server. Here are the possible headers.
You should also provide basic debugging info like "User-Agent" etc.
I spend most time with IRB or Rails/console. These are good settings on which I have settled with over the time. These will allow you to have basic logging and IRB history. Just put these in the ~/.irbrc file (If file doesn't exist then create one).

Well many times this happens that we want to work with the command prompt. Sometimes we wanna work with many CLI (command line interface). We usually SET the %PATH% variable of system or specific user for this. Things get really worse when we wanna work with more them one version of same Application/Compiler/System. We can't set the variable as all have similar directory structure and almost same binary/executable names.
Working with command prompt on windows is messy. Working with multiple version of a language/compiler on windows is a trip to hell.
Possible workarounds are:
How to Customize Command Prompt.
Create a file Called
YOURSYSTEM-VER-cofig.bat. Where YOURSYSTEM is the name of the system you are using and VER is the version of that specific system like python-2.6-config.bat.
Now put some codes in the file. Like:
Then create a new shortcut Right click on empty space or
File -> New -> Shortcut.
Then type
%COMPSPEC% /K "C:pathtoyourfile" in it
Then Rename the shortcut to a proper name.
Then click on Finish. Now Right click on the shortcut.
Select shortcut properties.
We can set the Fonts of the Command prompt.
We can set the color of the command prompt. like BACKGROUND, FOREGROUND.
We can even set the buffer and the screen layout of the shell window.
Now you are ready to enjoy this very good feature.
I recommend you to keep all these files in one folder say with name config-all and with attribute as hidden.

The Genetic Metabolic Disease program supports basic and clinical research that addresses the pathophysiology and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism and rare genetic metabolic diseases, such as lipodystrophy, maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), primary hyperoxaluria, systemic amyloidosis, and porphyria.
Lipodystrophy, a condition in which fat tissue is lost or redistributed in the body is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. MODY, a monogenic form of diabetes that usually presents during adolescence or early adulthood, sometimes remains undiagnosed until later in life. A number of different gene mutations have been shown to cause MODY, all of which limit the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin. Primary hyperoxaluria, overproduction of oxalate, is a rare genetic condition associated with kidney stones that can lead to kidney failure and injury to other organs. The systemic amyloidoses are a group of uncommon disorders characterized by progressive multi-system organ failure due accumulation of protein aggregates in tissues and organs. Porphyria is a term that refers to a group of disorders, the porphyrias, which affect the nervous system or skin, or both. Most porphyrias are inherited disorders due to the inborn errors of heme biosynthesis.
The program fosters interdisciplinary research in etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of these and other monogenic metabolic diseases. Special emphasis is on characterization of the genes, gene defects and regulatory alterations that are the underlying causes of these diseases. In the area of treatment, the development of animal models, dietary therapy, small molecule therapy, gene therapy and enzyme replacement therapies would be included. This program also supports studies aimed at development and implementation of newborn or population screening methods.

Pokémon GO meets EDM Music , A Rainbow Trip
EDM sensation, Rainbow Trip dedicates their latest viral EDM song to all the Pokémon GO players & fans around the world!
Watch the video here – Pokémon GO meets EDM Music
"We are overwhelmed by all the amazing pictures of your Pokémon catches! It's our attempt to compile some of the coolest catches that we've come across into a best catches compilation series with our EDM music. Gotta Catch 'em all, yeah?" – Amrita Sonowal, Lead vocalist of Rainbow Trip quoted in an interview with The Alternative Post.
The song titled "Goru Bihu Song" captures the essence of folk Bihu dance of Assam (remote Himalayan region of India) and celebration of the spirit of goru bihu (folk festival) with cow face paint.
Watch the video here – Rainbow Trip – Goru Bihu Song | EDM Folk Music
Pokémon Go (stylized as Pokémon GO) is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. It was released in most regions of the world in July 2016. Making use of GPS and the camera of compatible devices, the game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear on device screens as though in the real world. The game is free to play, although it supports in-app purchases of additional gameplay items. An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device, the Pokémon Go Plus, is planned for future release and will alert users when Pokémon are nearby.
Pokémon Go was released to mixed reviews. Reviewers praised the overall experience of the game and the incentive to adventure the real world, while noting technical issues that were apparent at launch. The game quickly became one of the most used smart device apps, surpassing the previous record held by Candy Crush Saga in the United States, and was a boon to the stock value of The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. The game was credited with popularizing augmented reality, and was praised by some medical professionals for potentially improving the mental and physical health of players, but also attracted some controversy due to reports of causing accidents and being a public nuisance at some locations.
Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music, club music, or simply dance) is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. Produced for playback by disc jockeys (DJs), EDM is generally used in the context of a live mix, where a DJ creates a seamless selection of tracks by segueing from one recording to the next.
By the early 2010s the term "electronic dance music" and the initialism "EDM" was being pushed by the U.S. music industry and music press in what was largely an effort to re-brand U.S. rave culture. In the UK, "dance music" or "dance" are more common terms for EDM. In this context, EDM does not refer to a specific genre, but serves as an umbrella term for several commercially popular genres, including techno, house, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, Jersey club, and their respective subgenres.

Diamonds - An Introduction
Diamonds and their characteristic features
- The word 'diamond' is derived from the Greek adamas, meaning 'invincible'.
- The diamond is known as the 'king of gems' because of its exceptional brilliance, its reflection of light, its exceptional hardness and its rarity.
- Rating 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, diamond is the hardest known mineral, has the highest light refraction index and is regarded as the best conductor of heat.
Diamonds and their formation and surfacing
Diamonds form in the vast depths of the earth's mantel under very high pressure and at high temperatures. Diamonds are mined in the pipes of extinct volcanoes or washed out of accumulations of minerals, generally alluvial, known as 'placer deposits'.
Diamonds and their uses
Diamonds are highly coveted both as investments and as elements of jewellery. However, only around one-quarter of all diamonds mined globally are suitable as gemstones. Due to their extreme hardness, diamonds are also used for cutting and grinding tools for industrial use.
Diamonds are considered good investments, a view reinforced by rising prices for diamonds in recent years. RenéSim supplies diamonds at outstanding prices.
Treated diamonds
Treated diamonds are diamonds subjected to subsequent enhancement processes. A diamond is classified as untreated if it has only been altered by cutting or polishing. Enhancement enables its colour or clarity to be modified after cutting. RenéSim supplies only untreated diamonds, as treatment destroys the natural charm of a diamond. Treated diamonds must normally be designated as such and are generally available at lower prices since their raw material is of lower quality. RenéSim will only supply treated diamonds in response to specific enquiries.
Rough diamonds
It is not easy for individuals to obtain rough (uncut) diamonds. The uncut diamonds are generally sold directly to diamond cutters at the diamond exchanges. More about rough diamonds.
Famous diamonds
The most famous diamonds in the world include the 'Star of Africa', also known as 'Cullinan I', the 'Tiffany' and the 'Hope Diamond'. Read more about famous diamonds here.
Diamonds as an investment
Diamonds are also an extremely popular form of investment. Find out more here about opportunities for investment: Diamonds as an Investment.
Quality characteristics - Diamonds and the Four Cs
1. Cut
The cut is the result of the process of cutting and polishing which gives a diamond its specific shape, and is the most important criterion to assess the quality of the diamond since it enhances the stone's brilliance and fire. Diamonds from RenéSim are in the categories Excellent, Very Good, Good and Fair. In the Excellent category, all light that enters the diamond is fully reflected.
2. Carat
Carat describes the weight of a diamond. One carat weighs 0.2 of a gram. The number of carats of a diamond does not directly reflect the size of the diamond, since the dimensions of the stone and the quality of the cut also apply as further criteria. Naturally, as a general principle the higher the number of carats of the diamond, the higher the price.
3. Colour
Over 90% of all diamonds have a yellow tint or hue. Diamonds are classified using a scale ranging from D to Z, in which D stands for the most colourless (whitest) diamond. Categories D to F are classified as colourless and categories G to J as near-colourless. Diamonds from category K onwards have an increasingly visible yellow tint. RenéSim only supplies relatively colourless diamonds in categories D to M. The more colourless ('whiter') a diamond is, the higher its value.
4. Clarity
Each diamond is a unique natural product and rarely completely 'flawless', or free from 'inclusions'. Flawless diamonds are extremely rare and correspondingly valuable. The official grading scale ranges from FL/IF (flawless) to P3 (obvious inclusions). RenéSim supplies diamonds in grades FL to SI2. In these categories inclusions are so small that they are invisible - or very rarely visible - to the naked eye.
Diamond cuts and shapes
Diamonds can be cut into a variety of shapes. Round brilliant-cut diamonds are the best-known; the brilliant cut is designed to create the maximum brilliance in a round diamond by reflecting the light to its best advantage. In addition to the brilliant cut, diamonds can be cut in the following ways: Princess (rectangular/square), Emerald, Oval, Pear (teardrop), Heart, Cushion, Asscher, Marquise and Radiant. Find out more about these Diamond cuts and shapes here.
All RenéSim diamonds are supplied with a certificate issued by an independent inspection body (e.g. GIA, HRD, IGI or EGL) that guarantees the authenticity of the diamond.
Further diamond characteristics
The depth of a diamond designates the ratio between its height and diameter (height:width).
The table percentage of a diamond gives the ratio between the table (the central top facet) of the diamond and the total diameter (table:width). A table percentage of between 57% and 62% is generally regarded as optimum. Larger or smaller proportions impair the brilliance of the diamond.
The girdle of a diamond is the circumference between the upper and lower part of the cut diamond, and thus its widest part. The diamond should have a girdle that is neither too thin nor too thick.
The culet is the smallest facet at the bottom of a diamond. Ideally a diamond should come to a perfect point instead of having a culet. A culet that is too large may be visible as a black dot when the diamond is viewed from above, impairing the beauty of the stone.
Polish, Symmetry and Fluorescence
- Polish: A diamond must be extremely finely polished to ensure no traces of the cutting process are visible on the surface and all corners and edges are crisply defined.
- Symmetry: A diamond should have as uniform a shape as possible, with symmetrically arranged facets. The higher the symmetry of a diamond, the more brilliance it appears to have.
- Fluorescence: A diamond may exhibit fluorescence to a greater or lesser degree, giving it a slight blue shimmer in the sun or under ultra-violet light. A diamond with strong fluorescence is generally of lesser value but may have its own individual charm.

Since I don't know TAS group, I guess not. I just began quilting this
year. Took two classes, hand block and the Baltimore applique (still in
progress). I hand pieced one table runner that I still have to quilt and
am still quilting the block sampler I made in the first class. We have
several quilting stores in my area, so I also have signed up for block a
month (one using Civil War period material and the other Thimbleberry) to
gain more practice in technique and color selection. I would like to join
one of the guilds but the time most meet conflicts with other obligations
so I'll just have to wait until I can work that out.

Who beat a reigning World No.1 in the final? Published October 06, 2013 12:01 Serena Williams won the first China Open, saving match points against Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final. Maria Kirilenko won the biggest title of her career at the second edition of the China Open in 2005. Svetlana Kuznetsova was the one who beat a World No.1 - she outdid Amélie Mauresmo in the 2006 final. Agnes Szavay also fought off match point for her China Open in 2007, over Jelena Jankovic in the final. Jankovic came back to Beijing a year later and finished the job, beating Kuznetsova in the 2008 final. Kuznetsova became the first two-time champion here in 2009, beating Agnieszka Radwanska in the final. Caroline Wozniacki won the China Open in 2010, a run that also propelled her to No.1 in the world. Radwanska returned to win the title in 2011, beating Andrea Petkovic in the final - and dancing, too. Victoria Azarenka didn't lose a set en route to the 2012 title, defeating Maria Sharapova in the final. Williams won the 2013 title this weekend, joining Kuznetsova as a two-time champion at the tournament.

[quote name='Fido' timestamp='1344508482' post='16158']
New stuff to talk about in the ArcheAge Tavern:
The Underground Palace, the new instanced dungeon for three players lvl 18+
Location: Mahadevi
Source: http://www.archeage....econstitute/786
Credits to fido and Archeage tavern for getting these screenshots.
I wonder what the koreans will think of instancing in Arche Age. I will admit in my first post on this website that I was blown away by the game when i first heard and read about it (this was around cbt3-4). I was honestly hoping for the game to be completely open world but we will see if instances dungeons are here to stay or not.
Although I got to say the dungeons do look nice.
Dungeon for three players? Not a bad idea. Especially when I usually play with my two RL friends.
As I already mentioned somewhere, for some people, the instances may be a deal breaker. For me, it is fine if they remain in the game. The dungeon itself looks ok...hard to make a better picture based on four screenshots.
Thanks for the post
I think instances are a mistake. The game is supposed to be a sandbox game.
Why water it down and turn it into another WOW clone?

"Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever." - Noam Chomsky
It is not supposed to be a pure sandbox according to the devs.
I do not think that couple instances make it a wow clone, but I guess it depends on personal perspective.
Crafted items are still better than what you will find in any instanced dungeon.
I don't like it, but at least it gives more PVE options, as long as the rewards are kinda shitty, nothing is loss.

I grew up in Mumbai, grew up eating Konkani food, my family origins being from Konkan. As I grew up, I became more of a Sunday cook, often dabbling in and trying out different kinds of food, rather than learning the wonderful secrets of my Mum's kitchen. In time, I met and married another foodie, a Bengali, who could cook as well. There was no kind of food that failed to excite us, whether it was something eaten in our trips abroad or around India. The experiments with food continued, from Bombay to Bangalore and now in London.

History of Film Music by Mervyn Cooke
Book DescriptionThis book provides a comprehensive and lively introduction to the major trends in film scoring from the silent era to the present day, focussing not only on dominant Hollywood practices but also offering an international perspective by including case studies of the national cinemas of the UK, France, India, Italy, Japan and the early Soviet Union. The book balances wide-ranging overviews of film genres, modes of production and critical reception with detailed non-technical descriptions of the interaction between image track and soundtrack in representative individual films. In addition to the central focus on narrative cinema, separate sections are also devoted to music in documentary and animated films, film musicals and the uses of popular and classical music in the cinema. The author analyses the varying technological and aesthetic issues that have shaped the history of film music, and concludes with an account of the modern film composer's working practices.

The Dead Seal lived up to expectation. I went through the Dead Sea Spa and even though there were signs all over the ground, warning that there were no life guards, there was a local guide on the beach peddling the dead sea mud which he had in a barrel. He helped me get into the sea; best to go...
This was a really amazing experience. People from different nations there enjoying the mud and the time in the Dead Sea.
a must see and feel experience.. a dried in time sea turned in to a pool , now named dead sea. no life, no fish but miraclously revitalizing to your skin too flaot in the water.
sure it was an unusual unforgettable experience...when you walk in to the water to some distance you feel as though you are pushed up..due to the density of the saline water,10 times saltier than any sea! Avoid water getting in to your eyes..incase it does, clean your eyes with fresh water immediately..otherwise the eye turns red the whole day..there are...
Overlooking the Dead Sea surrounded by mountain range on opposite side was special...I was at Ramada Resort, the access to the sea was via a dirt road. The water was clear, alongside a pebbled ' entrance' , 2-3 meters into the sea, a sand flooring. Floating in the water was calming.
I liked the range of colours of the tiny...
Very cool, the dead sea area is amazing. The people helpful if you get lost. Photo opportunities everyway you turn. Beautiful area.
This is a good visit to the Dead Sea but just don't JUMP into the water. Go in slowly.....I have never been in a sea where you don't sink. You just float. But you come out extremely smooth...If that's your thing.
It was amazing experience, you need to plan before hand so that everything is in pace. There are couple of restaurant have access to the beach.
Lowest point. The water is very salty and buoyant, you will float. Float on your back, do not lay forward in the water. Dead Sea products can be purchased. You can also apply it and dip in the water.
fantastic feeling when you see a sign written on it welcome you are 368meter below sea level
what a great thing to witness at least once a time

Everything was fabulous, the homemade cooking, the service, the setting… It still makes my mouth water to think about the lamb and the home-grown avocados. Excellent value for money.
It took us a while to find this place and were pleased with the atmosphere. We found the food plentiful but rather mediocre in quality.
We had a wonderful meal in this Paladar on our first night. We were recommended the local lamb dish and it was wonderful. Again we received lots of free extras with the meal. Wonderful staff and lovely little courtyard. Only 10CUC each.
This was a really good Paladar out of the Rough Guide. So pleased we booked here. The Cordero (lamb) was delicious and a lovely change to the usual fish, chicken, pork or lobster. The owner was keeping a keen eye on things and you couldn't fault the service or quality of the food. If you find yourself in Trinidad, please...
I was really surprised by this restaurant. First you walk through a casa which makes you feel like you are visiting friends for dinner. Then you enter a cosy courtyard where dinner is served. The food was the best I had while I was in Cuba and the service was good - which, in my experience, is also quite rare...
We visited this homestay restaurant on the recommendation of a friend, the nature of the recommendation accorded with many positive trip adviser reviews. The place opens about 6.30pm daily and we arrived at this time and initially waited in what appeared to be a living room which looked into a double bedroom, both of which were lovingly furnished with antique...
We thought we'd give this place a try after watching the sun set on the bar terrace round the corner, literally 5 seconds away. We knew we were on to a winner as soon as we stepped through the door and were greeted with the most delicious aroma of home cooking. This is the real deal - as authentic as...
Went once in 4 days because they have a short menu but what they offer is all special,from top to bottom...location and service really nice too.must visit
We loved this paladar just above the Plaza Mayor. It has very good typical Cuban food served in lovely courtyard and the owner is very friendly with excellent language skills. (She also rents out a couple of rooms) First time we got avocados which were delicious, and I liked that there was an omelette option as I found meat generally...
This was a great find. An authentic paladar at someone's beautiful house and also authentically trinidad with a typical courtyard to dine in. Great food, beautiful place to eat and great value. One of the top places in Cuba we went to.

2012 Fiat 500 Review - Sue Mead's First Look
Visit us at: http://AutoTravel.TV - Sue Meade immediately fell in love with this cute little entry from Italy and its fresh styling that is sure to be a hit in America. Sue is particularly impressed by the interior design and features. This modestly priced car (Starting at $15,500) has more room inside than she expected with ample room in the back for two adults and all the standard features are another surprise. The one we tested had a sunroof. Another plus that she noted was the driving comfort and quick responsive steering. Commentary by: Sue Mead Videography and Text by: Lynn David Cole
2012 Fiat 500 Sport Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour
In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2012 Fiat 500 Sport, newly brought from the european market due to the new partnership of Fiat and Chrysler. The US spec car has been slightly modified including alternate bumpers, a 1.4L 4 cyl engine and 7 airbags standard, as well as other options including a Bose sound system. Similar cars in its class include the mini cooper and smart fortwo. The fiat adds some new flavor by offering a compact and sporty economy car with features such as bluetooth, folding rear seats and a a sunroof with room for 4, base price starting around 15k. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
New Fiat 500 - Dining Room Table Reviews
Review of the New Fiat 500 automobile from my dining room table... Almost. While every effort has been made to ensure the technical information presented in this video is accurate, the review includes information from third-party sources such as Wikipedia and the manufacturer's own Web sites in Canada, the USA and Europe, none of it guaranteed to be 100% accurate. For example, the CPG Factor for the Pop configuration might be off because the US site lists way too many standard features normally found on higher-end models. Air conditioning, leather trimmed steering wheel, cruise control, and the Blue&Me hands-free system included in an entry-level car at that price? Not so sure about that. Video equipment used: - Canon HF200 camcorder (exterior shots and forward-facing road cam, default settings) - Canon HF R10 camcorder (rear-facing road cam, dynamic image stabilizer activated, manual focus set to infinity) - Kodak Zx3 video camera with after-market fish-eye lens (on the dashboard, set to 720p 60 fps and zoomed in to its optimal scaling point) Colour correction and contrast/brightness adjustments have been applied during editing. This is perfectly normal since no camera, amateur or professional, can get the colour right especially when the environment changes constantly, or when you're shooting through a tinted car window!

Preview: Linus Pauling Quartet at LaGrange
Houston's Linus Pauling Quartet recently showed up on Lee Jackson in Space, the tribute album for late Texas music writer Lee Jackson, but the quintet arrives in Dallas on the heels of their first album in five years, Bag of Hammers. Their herb-assisted psych excursions have long been the foundation of Houston's experimental music scene, and their epic press release gives you a little insight into what they were brewing: "Through those years, they traveled to the highest mountains in search of men and women who were as ancient as they were wise. They have sought out lost texts of the ancients at great peril. They have basked in the love of the most beautiful of Elvin women and suffered the hatred and violence of the foulest mountain orcs." So, yeah, you'll want to be appropriately blunted. Wo Fat headline and Big Sandy Gilmer and FTW open.

Forks over KnivesDirector: Lee Fulkerson, Joey Aucoin, Neal Barnard, Gene Baur
Cast: Lee Fulkerson, Joey Aucoin, Neal Barnard, Gene Baur
Documentary filmmaker Lee Fulkerson explores the possibility that so-called "diseases of affluence," such as heart disease, can be reversed by simply adjusting our diets to include less processed and animal-based foods. Back in the 1960s, Cornell University nutritional scientist Dr. T. Colin Campbell was working to find a way to feed the citizens of impoverished Third World nations when a trip to the Philippines forever changed the way he thought about food consumption. There, he discovered that the rates of liver cancer among affluent children who subsisted on diets rich in animal-based foods were notably higher than in children consuming plant-based diets. Meanwhile, surgeon Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, head of the Breast Cancer Task Force at Cleveland Clinic, was also discovering that many of the diseases he was seeing in patients were practically nonexistent in areas of the world where people were primarily consuming plant foods. Several subsequent investigations by the researchers (who would not meet each other until the 1980s), including a groundbreaking study in China by Dr. Campbell, led them to the revelation that a whole-food, plant-based diet could prevent, and even reverse, such degenerative conditions as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. In this film, Fulkerson examines Dr. Campbell's and Dr. Esselstyn's theories by following the two doctors' individual, yet very similar, story arcs, from their farm-based upbringings to their astounding discoveries. The film also records the experiences of a group of patients suffering from chronic maladies as they participate in an experiment in which their diets are substantially altered and wholesome, plant-based food is, essentially, used as medicine.

Earth-shaking! Life-changing! The information revealed in this documentary and its significance for our collective health, wellness and for disease prevention is nothing short of revolutionary! This astonishing story is about how two cutting edge researchers and their colleagues developed a new, revolutionary scientific and medical understanding of human disease and its being caused, by and large, from eating toxic, unhealthy and even addictive foods. It reveals a new way of viewing human health and wellness that offers a dawning hope for containing the impending crisis in sky-rocketing health care costs foreshadowed by a growing percentage of us who are overweight, diabetic, sedentary and aging. Pay no attention to the immature 'valley girl' jennifer918 and the supercilious, petulant diatribe she offered as a review. Obviously, she did not pay attention in her biology classes. Her main critique, based as it was on her false statement 'eukaryotic have no cell walls' is just laughable. Of course eukaryotic cells have cell walls and they make up every single cell in our bodies and the bodies of every living thing on earth except bacteria. The exciting information revealed in this story was obtained over decades through the amazing work of these two pioneers, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn. It reveals their deep insights into the nature of human illness and the amazingly simple, effective and rapid "cure" they recommend: eating wholesome, natural, vegetable foods and grains and avoiding foods we know are toxic to our bodies and brains. Watch it. You won't be sorry.
Want to stay tired, overweight and unhealthy? Keep doing what you are doing. Ready for some eye-opening information that can help you make informed decisions about what to eat? Watch this movie. It packs a lot of interesting information into 96 minutes and is never dry or boring.
This is excellent! A must see, it will change the way you see everything. Don't miss out on this!
Cholesterol comes from two sources. It's produced in your body, mostly in the liver (about 1,000 milligrams a day). And it's found in foods that come from animals, such as meats, poultry, fish, seafood and dairy products. The American Heart Association recom-mends that your average daily intake of dietary cholesterol should be less than 300 milligrams. Remember, it is found only in foods from animals. Al-though it's not the same as a saturated fatty acid, dietary cholesterol can also raise your blood cholesterol level. You need cholesterol for your body to function normally, but your body makes enough so that you don't need to get more from the foods you eat. Cholesterol Dietary Cholesterol Dietary cholesterol is found in meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products. Foods from plants - such as fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, grains, cereals, nuts and seeds - don't contain cholesterol. Egg yolks and organ meats are high in cholesterol. Shrimp and crayfish are somewhat high in cholesterol. Chicken, turkey and fish contain about the same amount of cholesterol as do lean beef, lamb and pork. This film will change your life!
I was watching the documentary by the same name. Wow! I was really looking forward to this and thought it would be great to share with my A & P classes. Wow! Yeah, not at all. Thirteen minutes in to the documentary (and I use that term here very loosely), the narrator is discussing that evil molecule: cholesterol. He goes on to say that cholesterol is found in all animals even humans. In humans, it plays a very important role in out cells' walls. WTH!!!! Seriously? Anyone who has payed remote attention in their high school biology class knows that animals have eukaryotic cells which HAVE NO CELL WALLS; that's what makes them unique. Seventeen minutes in, they are discussing an article published in an obscure Indian journal. The study found that if you expose rats (they looked like mice- STRIKE 2) to a particular carcinogen AND the patient has greater than 20% of their diet come from a protein called casein, it "turns on" the cancer. If less than 5% of the diet comes from casein the cancer is "turned off." Hmmmm. The next thing to be addressed SHOULD have been sources of casein and how much casein in various sources to give the viewer an idea. Of course, they ignored that idea and went in a different direction. Yep, seventeen minutes in and I am totally disgusted with this so-called "documentary." Read the book? Are you KIDDING? I've already wasted seventeen minutes of my life.............which I can't get back. Why would I waste hours reading the book.

This is a hilarious new novel by New York Times best-selling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
©2007 Susan Elizabeth Phillips; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers
"Generously seasoned with plenty of tart humor and snappy dialogue, and graced with a delightfully amusing pair of protagonists trying desperately not to fall in love, Natural Born Charmer is simply irresistible." (Booklist)
There's so much I liked, and it was totally ruined by fairies and unicorns! UGH!
Delight in the journey and the struggle on the road to your dreams
"One of the Funniest Books Ever"
Dean Robillard; quarterback of the fictional Chicago Stars is driving along a Colorado back road; bored with his own company when he sees a girl walking in the grassy median dressed like a beaver. With a beginning like this the story weaves a lot of humor and family pathos and drama into a romance that is less a romance novel than anything SEP has written. The plot is typical for a Chicago Stars novel. The quirky, plucky girl is in way over her head with the gorgeous professional athlete. They are thrown together by circumstance and love blossoms. It is unfortunate that they both have enough baggage that it will prevent them from really getting together until the final pages of the book, or final minutes of the audio. Fortunately SEP is a good enough author that she can write life into an doddering plot line. Her characters in Natural Born Charmer are almost real and so sympathetic that you can feel their pain. April and Riley in particular are characters that I really came to care about. There is something here for everyone; even an old jock whose lack of sensitivity has been noted by more than one ex. What I'm saying is, guys give it a shot.
Queen Squared
"Humorous Yet Emotional Story"
Natural Born Charmer is another SEP classic. Like most of her novels, the characters in this one are flawed but loveable. But I thought the characters in this book were especially damaged. Both Dean Robillard & Blue Bailey have deep-seated abandonment issues that make it difficult for them to trust each other enough to have a healthy relationship. Much of the story is about the the two of them learning to acknowledge & then overcome those issues.
And, like so many SEP novels, it's not only the main love story that makes this a great book, but the various sub-plots. When Dean's parents reconnect, we learn why Dean is so incredibly damaged. Watching their re-blossoming relationship is just as interesting as the one between Dean & Blue. Throw in an insecure but adorable half sister, a curmudgeonly old woman with good intentions, & a group of funny townies & you have a "can't put it down" book. Anna Fields continues to do a wonderful job narrating this series. All in all, if you have enjoyed Phillips' take on romance writing in the past, this will be a great book to add to your collection.
"Best opening pages of a romance I've seen!"
I would listen to Natural Born Charmer again in the future. The characters were so real and made me laugh.
One thing that I like about SEP's novels is that she makes the location/setting almost an additional character in her books. She does a great job of setting a scene (and making you want to visit).
I just loved the opening scene. It grabbed my interest immediately and was so different from any other opener I've read (and absolutely hilarious!). But once all the characters were introduced, I was very much surprised how much depth the story and all the character had. I was expecting more of a light romp and the book is so much more than that.
This is the first Susan Elizabeth Phillips novel I've read, and I jumped right in and listened to four more right away. All her stories are have similar plot points (for instance, always an additional romance with the supporting characters) but each story is fresh enough that it works well. The narrator is excellent. As always, it's his or her ability to voice the opposite sex that makes or breaks a book and Anna Fields does a superb job.
"Enjoyable & Light entertainment"
There isn't a lot of substance to this book, but it's perfect for an easy & enjoyable listen. It made me laugh and the narrator added to the fun with her various styles, especially with the dry humour in the book.
A good, light, funny listen.
Audio-fiction ADDICT !
"I'm CHARMED!"
SEP and Anna Fields, what can I say ! I always say this is my best SEP work ever, then I read another book of hers and it becomes my favorite, till the next one at least ;)
I'll make it short and to the point, BUY IT !
"My favorite SEP book"
Yes - Anna Fields' narration is so spectacular, and she gives the great characters even more life than Phillips!
The perpetual sarcastic back-and-forth between Blue and Dean; even though I've listened to this book numerous times, I still giggle when I listen to the two of them spar. And, of course, the opening scene in this book is one of my favorite opening scenes in any book I've ever read!
Tough choice: either Dean, Blue, or minor character Nita Garrison.
This is seriously my favorite romance book ever written. A close second is SEP's
"Wonderful, Thoroughly Enjoyed It"
I have enjoyed this book so much--you laugh out loud in so many parts. Have listened so many times. I have listened to everyone of her books from the Chicago Stars series (as well as the standalone books). It is funny, heartwarming, believeable. I wish SEP would write another in the Chicago Stars series. Or write any book faster. Her latest book Call Me Irrestible was good as well.
Can't give enough praise for Anna Fields--she is thoroughly missed!! She pulled those characters out so well. I have noted in more than one time in my comments regarding that the narrator can make or break a book--Anna did a stupendous job with each book.
As usual, I really enjoyed the author's very effective combination of humor and romance in just the right doses. However, I'm dismayed that her formula is becoming had. This book is so much like her book Heaven, Texas. Though, I liked this one a bit more. So I would choose this read over Heaven, Texas but save my money and not get both.
"Natural Born Charmer"
SEP was the first author I choose for my first audible book and after just finishing this third book about an American football team ( a game I know nothing about) all I can say is bring on the next member of the team. Every book has given me a laugh at some stage throughout the stories. Not to heavy, witty and fun.
"Very entertaining."
Love, love, love Susan Elizabeth Phillips. This one shows to perfection her delicious mix of steamy romance with mystery and intrigue. Can't wait for more, hint hint Audible.
"Just brilliant"
I love all SEP's books - but this is my favourite so far. Wish all her books were available in audio on this site.

Great mouse, terrible keyboard 04/10/2013
This review is from: DELL KM632 469-2458 Black 104 Normal Keys 6 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse
The mouse is crisp and responsive.
The keyboard is an unholy mess. You can't change the angle and the keys are mushy and wobbly. I appreciate that they removed the unnecessary SysRq and Pause keys, but the removal of the NumLock key seems a bit overboard to me.
Other Thoughts:
As a compulsive fidgeter, I find the mouse entertaining due to the battery cover being held on by magnets. The wireless link seemed a bit weak but a lot of things can affect that.
