There are 11 hopefuls lefts on Make Me a Supermodel,
yet there are still a few that I don't really see a whole lot of
potential in. They stick out even more this week now that we don't have
CJ's constant whining to distract us.
Amanda points out the
obvious right away, teasing Gabriel about being in the bottom for the
last three weeks running. I'm also not certain what the judges see in
Laury, who seems to neither walk nor photograph with much personality.
This week's photoshoot challenges them the most, since it is
underwater and they have to remember to hold their breath, arrange
their limbs and stare off into space – all at the same time. Gabriel
keeps his cheeks puffed out most of the time and Laury opens her eyes
so wide that the photographer calls it the opposite of attractive.
struggles the most, not because she can't take a good picture, but
because she's terrified of drowning. In fact, at one point she does
come close, seeming to get tangled up in the full length gown, unable
to get her head above water and with her reach missing the side of the
pool at every attempt. Yet, when the crew finally grasps what's going
on and helps her, she coughs for a moment and then politely thanks
them. No whining, no screaming, no snit, no drama….just "Thank you,
guys". On top of that, she listens to every direction she's given and
even declines the offer to hold on to a bar to help her out –
determined to meet the needs of the photoshoot. I have to say, I'm
However, an impressive attitude isn't enough to win
the prize – which goes to Jordan this week. However, she chooses to
bring Salome with her on the go see, saying 'you earned it". Alas, it
seems the damage Cory wrought by criticizing her weight last week is
still in full effect as Salome thinks Jordan is playing a good game by
selecting "the fattest girl here" to go with her.
On the way
there, Jordan says some of the models are getting big heads and asks
Salome to tell her is she gets one too. Salome is smart enough to look
doubtful about that being a good idea. At the go see, they put her in a
bikini and tell her she's not "fashiony" enough because she's a size
small instead of an extra small. So, Jordan books the gig and Salome
goes home to binge exercise. Great message. The models unwind by
playing beer pong and we find out Amanda is a lousy drunk who puts
Gabriel through a mood swing obstacle course.
The catwalk
competition has the ladies representing fire and the guys as ice, in
reds and cool tones. Which is all well and good, but the best part of
the show is watching the models work with a walking coach and seeing
them start to click with how they need to move. However, Braden's over
confidence comes off as smarmy and Jordan whines that her skirt was too
tight for her to do her "signature walk". Hey, remember that big head
thing? You're there.
The best part of the judging is Jenny
Shimizu telling Laury to think of "soft bunnies" to relax her face. The
judges also criticize Salome a little more for her "curvy figure" –
meaning, she actually has breasts – and Branden for his outrageous
smirking. Salome is more determined to work out like crazy and
surprisingly, Branden actually seems to listen to what the judges have
to say. We'll see how that pans out next week. What we will not see
next week, is Gabriel. And that's fine, as his expressionless face had
gone from comical to sort of creepy. Topping out the evening is
Sandhurst, and rightfully so as he did superb in both competitions.
Amanda seems a bit reactionary tonight? As if she has a need to be the
center of attention at all times? When the other models clapped for
Salome for overcoming her fear and doing so well at it, Amanda all but
rolled her eyes. Not to mention her "You're an a$$!" to "I didn't
really mean it" mood swing with Gabriel. Perhaps the judges were right
and she does use emotions to try and get what she wants?

I love this board - it provides both a great writing surface as well as the magnetic attachment of materials. Great versatility and size!
Comments about Quartet Prestige Plus DuraMax 6' x 4' Magnetic Dry Erase Board:

Comments about Quartet Prestige Plus DuraMax 6' x 4' Magnetic Dry Erase Board:
I was very pleased with the white board because of it's sturdy build and the excellent customer service. I will differently make future purchases from Quartet. When I had need of help from customer service, they went above and beyond what would be expected.
Comments about Quartet Prestige Plus DuraMax 6' x 4' Magnetic Dry Erase Board:
We use 3 of these boards for tracking special orders. The surface is great for erasing, even after several months. With colored markers, important messages are highly visible.
Comments about Quartet Prestige Plus DuraMax 6' x 4' Magnetic Dry Erase Board:
Great board for the office, however there quality control need some work. Multiple chips in the porcelain that were touched up with white paint that chipped off when used caused much dissatisfaction. Through many emails and phone conversations it was resolved with them sending another board as a replacement. However, they should have a better quality process that does not show any rework.

Upon graduation, however, Idei went to work in Sony's international division, gaining experience in several of the company's European offices. He helped establish Sony France in 1968. Four years later he was recalled to Japan to work at the company's Tokyo headquarters.

Hope all works out for you
as far as the "button" goes it is the customer service tab
I just hope I don't ever deal with that guy
Listen man... if you haven't tried lately, there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. They have zero, none, zip. Here, check out this Customer forum page ON EBAY where customers are having the same problem I am:
Ebay Live Chat ? Where is It ?: Community Help Boards: eBay Discussion Boards
This is exactly what I'm warning everyone about. I guess this is something NEW that's just happened recently. They used to be decent in customer relations, but not anymore. You CANNOT get ahold of them. That C.S. number they give you? HAHA try calling it... there's NO way you will talk to a real person, it's a BIG circle. They keep refering you to online help, and there IS NONE!!!! haha It's rediculous.
I'm not trying to scare everyone off from ebay,,, but I do want to make this suggestion... when BUYING something, make sure you the person has a good score rating on ebay and I almost always try to buy from an ACTUAL store or company, not individuals.
Trust me when I say this, these little scams like this guy has done is going to increase rapidly because of there being NO C.S.
Pretty crappy way to treat the very people who grew your business into an empire.

Cabbies are very keen to present themselves as knights of the road, custodians of The Knowledge, ferrying damsels homewards without raping them. The amount of times I've wandered the desolate streets with pounds 20 in my pocket that I'm just dying to hand over to any unwashed misanthrope who'll consent to take me. What typically happens is this: some fetid Catweazle responds to your frantic signallings by pulling in, considering the request, then silently shaking his head and driving off. Maybe I am just not attractive enough, but I suspect that Eva Herzigova in her undies couldn't persuade a cab-driver to cross the Thames.
Once, after having missed a train, I worked my way to the front of the taxi-queue at Charing Cross and piped my request through the leading cab's open window, only to be dismissed with a contemptuous "Nah. Get in the one behind." I trotted to cab number two, where a younger and nicer-looking driver said, aghast: "You can't get in here, love, you have to go with him." "Oh, that's all right," I pleaded, vainly wringing the door-handle. "He doesn't want to go that far." Number two just tutted. "Well, tell him he's got to, love."
Cabbie number one eyed me evilly as I returned. "He says you have to take me." "Look," erupted number one, "I don't have to do anything. I'm not taking ya." Back I went with heavy heart. I reformulated his position into something along the lines of: the cabbie in front waives his right to this fare and respectfully suggests that the honour should devolve upon you. Cabbie number two, shaking his head with "Do wot?" incredulity, moaned: "I can't take you! He's got to take you!" "I don't think I want to go with him now," I whimpered. He shook his head, sorrowfully. "I would take you, love, only ..." he jerked his thumb at the rank behind, where cabs three, four and five were rapidly filling up with fares and steaming off into the night, "they'd crucify me. You can't take another cabbie's fare. It's not right."
Back to number one, slowly. This time I didn't say anything, just looked at him like a seal-pup. "Right!" he yelled, wrenching open his door. Number two likewise leapt out of his cab. To my amazement, they squared up to each other on the forecourt. "Get in his cab!" screamed number two. Number one let off a volley of oaths. Two grown men were shouting: "You!" "No, you!" "No, you!" At which point I realised that I'd wasted so much time that another train was due, and cravenly scuttled away.
Cabbies' conversational skills are vastly overrated, but I did once play wedding-guest to an irresistible Ancient Mariner. So relieved was I to see smiling acceptance on a cabbie's face, that I hopped eagerly in, only to be thrown on to the back seat as he accelerated, cackling madly. When the door-locks clicked, I thought, this is it: chopped in bits by a maniac under a disused railway arch, unless you keep him talking. Was he ever keen to talk: wanted to tell me all about his recent stint on jury service. The case, involving a fiendishly complicated financial scam, took us all the way to Deptford at high speed - the car and his gob - where, unusually, he knew all the back routes (they should really call it The Ignorance).
We came to a halt, having overshot my house by 200 yards, but the doors remained locked as he leered over his shoulder at me. "So - would you have acquitted him or what?" The critical moment. What's it to be? A safe, warm bed or the railway arches? "Well," I hemmed, "it would depend on whether I thought he was a decent sort or not ..." "Exactly!" he screamed. "He was a diamond geezer!" "So did he ..." "Yeah, he done it, course he done it," said the cabbie, calmer now as he reversed at high speed up the deserted street. And then he did something really mad. He knocked two quid off the fare.

Property in France doesn't come cheap, but thanks to judicial reforms, there are several courthouses going for a song. And a decline in religious conviction means that there are also priories, abbeys and churches on the market – but both church and state are having difficulty bringing in the customers.
A reform enacted last year closed down 401 courthouses in small towns around France, as the cost of running them became too much of a burden. Now, for €200,000 (£175,000) you can snap up the former courthouse in Bar-sur-Seine, in eastern France – complete with peristyle and columns.
Or, on the Luxembourg border and "ideally situated close to the town centre and the cinema", the Hayange courtroom for €465,000 (panelling included. The decommissioned courthouses were first offered for sale by the state to their respective local councils. The majority were taken on and converted into public spaces such as cultural centres or galleries.
But many councils have no use for an old courthouse, so the government put them on the market. While the buildings stand empty, the state pays for their upkeep, so the prices per square metre have been fixed low. Nevertheless, several buildings have stood empty for several months now without finding a buyer.
The courthouse in the eastern town of Forbach – more than 2,000 square metres for an asking price of €650,000 – has been on the market for a year, but so far, no takers. "We also didn't have any use for it." said Jean-Pierre Jung, director-general of services for Forbach town council. "It could be transformed into accommodation, but it would be better as an exhibition space."
In the eastern town of Avallon, a couple of antiques traders were happy to shell out €325,000 for the courthouse. Forbach has had some interest from a book collector, but it seems there just aren't enough people in France who want to start private museums, and the cost of renovation and conversation of the courthouses has put off private buyers looking for a unique home.
Meanwhile, estate agents are taking an increasing number of religious buildings onto their books.
After the departure of the last nuns back in 2008, the congregation of Pamiers in southern France has decided to put their Carmelite convent on the market for €1m. "There are fewer and fewer people who practise religion, and often the church puts a building on the market so as to pay for repairs to other buildings it owns," said estate agent Patrice Besse.
He heads up the Patrice Besse estate agency, which sells distinctive buildings including chateaux, churches and fortresses.
The notion of selling religious buildings has become more acceptable, and selling a church is no longer thought of as sacrilege, according to Mr Besse, who says that churches tend to be transformed into cultural spaces rather than houses.
But again, it can be hard to find any buyers for these buildings. The mayor of Pamiers turned down the building when he was offered the first refusal, pointing out that the town has no use for it, and that it would cost a sum of €6m to restore it.
Other local officials have put the restoration figure at much less – €700,000 – and say that it should be transformed into a cultural space to revitalise the town centre.
"These buildings are not always good to live in," said Christophe Gonzales, the associate director of the estate agent Maisons et Chateaux.
"The majority go to social or cultural projects. It was an austere life in a place like this," he said.
"A nine-metre squared cell is not a good place for a luxury accommodation and it's not straightforward to turn it into something most people would want to live in," the estate agent added.

The question is this, with this change in focus how should academic libraries reflect these changes in priorities on their library website? It is after all the digital front door of the library and it sends out a message on what the library is about.
A typical academic library in 2010sAcademic library websites in the 2000-2010s are all focused towards search, typically with a single search box or a tabbed search box (whether horizontally or vertical). Most sites would also have links to databases (the number of links varies) plus links to common and popular (read undergraduate) services like printing, booking of study rooms, opening hours etc. Lastly some would devote some amount of space to news and events the library wants to promote typically in the form of some rotating banner.
I think it is fair to say this describes 90% of most academic library websites and most despite their efforts are bursting to the seams with content.
What experts think are academic libraries best practices in 2013/2014
Emily Singley currently with Harvard Library reviews academic library sites she likes, and the #1 site for her 2013 reviews is Stanford University. Which looks like this.
Noted UX expert, Aaron Schmidt was recently asked for Library Websites worth looking at.
One academic library he went for, was MIT Libraries.
Both sites had fairly major redesigns within a year or two and spot what can be considered current state of art in academic library design. A partial hint comes from the fact that they spot dynamic opening hours widgets that dynamically state what facilities are open today, a relatively new idea compared to just static lists of opening hours on most sites now.
They devote roughly the same amount of space to the search box (though one uses a simple one box vs tabbed approach), opening hours and a news box, with the major difference being that MIT devotes a lot of screen space to displaying their research guides and experts.
In this difference hints at a possible challenge.
As academic libraries in the 2010s are adding new expertise based services and the question we face is how do we incorporate such services into the library website? How do you incorporate your shiny new Scholarly Communication team, or GIS service on your library front page? Or should you even try?
Given how political changing websites can be, easiest is to just give up and tuck the service under some hidden drop down menu or some secondary level link and hope your liaisons can make such services known.
Stanford for example tucks GIS under a drop down in "Computing - equipment & services"
Besides an argument can be made that such services are very niche (even in fairly research intensive universities like my own, the undergraduates and graduate students far out-number the research and faculty staff), so one shouldn't spend so much screen space on them.
Then again even the best liaisons can't reach everyone. And increasingly as more library effort is spent on such services it seems perverse that they don't have or have a very minimum presence on the library websites. This parallels slightly the older development where the budget on eresources increased but the manpower devoted on managing it was restricted to just one eresources librarian.
To anticipate the whole argument, I believe that while a complete redesign would be eventually necessary to showcase the new focus and provide browsing affordances, a short term solution that is increasingly adopted by leading academic librares is the bento style search box or as Lorcan Demseley calls it full library discovery
This has several advantages, one of which is it avoids a sudden shift and hence avoids the need for political battles. Users also are conditioned to search and a search box that allows you to find articles,books, AND expertise/services would scale and transition smoothly as libraries slowly (or quickly as it may) transition away from discovery/search/purchaser business to expertise business.
The age old debate on library websites
It's perhaps only a slight exaggeration to say that designing the library front page (hence forth library homepage) is a highly political affair but leaving that aside is there a "objective" way to do it?
The difficulty lies in the fact that Libraries are a mix of totally different classes of content. Traditionally the debate on library websites has always been between adding features to find "stuff" that users need to do their assignment or research (eg library databases, ebooks etc) and using the screen space to market services/events/expertise.
The difficulty is so great, a recent 2014 article asked Do we need two library landing pages?
The argument against Discovery on websites in 2009
But let's go back to 2009 first where Steven Bell in The Library Web Site of the Future argued that library websites should shift away from what these days we call "discovery".
He argues that academic library websites of the time pretty much fail to connect users to the full range of content library offers, as most users just use it to link to their favourite databases anyway. So libraries have failed in that task anyway despite a screen full of links and should give up trying to play that role.
He writes
"Rather than attempting to mimic search engines academic librarians should aim to differentiate their Web sites. They should devote the most eye-catching space to information that promotes the people who work at the library, the services they provide and the community activities that anchor the library's place as the social, cultural and intellectual center of campus. That shifts the focus from content to service and from information to people."
He then asks what do we do with all the expensive databases that library buy if we don't put links on the library website?
Bell clearly anticipates some of the more common ideas currently in play in 2014. He talks about how users "invent their own backdoor routes to the content" and how we should be embedding library service so "we'll be where you are." (eg Library Links in Google Scholar) or as another meme goes "Discovery happens elsewhere".
However he does propose a rather unusual idea that the LibGuides that librarians create for specialised courses and serve as a substitute for listing databases on library websites. This drew a response by Catherine Pellegrino - The Library Web Site of the Future: thanks but no thanks.
The main argument seems to be 1) The idea of providing LibGuides for every need can't scale and 2) Following Steven's idea would lead to the now famous XCD comic about the difference between what users want to find on a University Homepage and what the marketing people want to sell.
Has the argument changed in 2014?
I would argue that Steve Bell's argument for devoting less space to content for "finding stuff" is even stronger in 2014 then in 2009 for the following reasons.
Firstly back in 2009, web scale discovery was just being launched in the first pioneer libraries. Whatever shortcomings there are in modern web scale discovery services it definitely does a job better at the exposing the full range of content a library has then 50 links to databases.
While we know that users no longer start their research from the library homepage, they do eventually return to the library homepage. Part of the reason is to check for known content, in which case our web scale discovery tools are light years ahead of the federated searches of 2009.
Because of that academic libraries of today can get away with using less space for searching features and yet be more effective.
Secondly, I have controversially speculated that as open access takes hold, Libraries roles in traditional discovery and even fulfilment/delivery for users will diminish .
As of 2014, whether libraries should bow out of discovery roles is been heavily discussed, for example see
Does Discovery Still Happen in the Library? Roles and Strategies for a Shifting Reality. One of the interesting points he makes I think is that current web scale discovery services are failing to match the Googles of the world, not due to the size of the index but the lack of "deep personalization".
Jill O' Neill asks "Should libraries abandon investment in formal discovery services (of whatever ilk) and leave the job to the somewhat mysterious algorithmic mercies of Google, Amazon...." Like Roger Schonfeld, she asks "Can libraries step forward to play a greater role in current awareness? Should they do so?"
For other responses see the follow up post by Roger Schonfeld
This debate is up in the air, though Barbara Fister points out even in the day pre-web when it came to discovery academic libraries were "supplementary, not the only way discovery happened".
For now, I am going to be pessimistic and say No, libraries should eventually (when I do not know) prepare to walk away gracefully.
This is an argument that is not one that I make happily. However it does make the tussle over the academic library website much easier because there is one less thing off the agenda to focus on.
That said, personalised recommenders strike me to be a totally different class of services then simple search boxes or links to databases. For example a Journaltocs type system enhanced with Google Now level smarts and perhaps mediated by knowledgable librarians strikes me as fundamentally different and something users would want assuming we can do it better than Google etc. But those don't require a search box....
The library website of the future will focus more on services and showcasing expertise
The typical academic library of 2014 now has a lot more services or put a lot more head count on them than 10 years ago and this will accelerate as the library loses it role for discovery and fulfillment.
Most typical academic libraries (granted of at least a certain research intensity), will be at the very least be working on promoting open access and populating institutional repositories, perhaps managing APC funds. Most will also be assisting with bibliometrics, benchmarking etc.
Depending on how progressive the academic library is they might be also be supporting other parts of the research life cycle.
- GIS services
- Data research management services
- Grant management - playing a role in CRIS/IR integration
- Supporting innovative teaching environments like MOOCs
A Use of Space: The Unintended Messages of Academic Library Web Sites a study of 50 academic libraries and how they devote screen space to various categories of resources and services is probably worth looking at if you want to know what academic libraries are doing now.
Somewhat to the average space taken by marketing/PR is pretty high 28.2% (excluding white space etc) and and is ranked first.
Multisearch box comes in 2nd on average using 10.2% of used space.
The paper points out variance is high, range of space used for marketing/PR varies from 4.6% to 67.9%, with the paper heavily criticizing the instance of 67.9% usage.
According to the paper one of the most important findings is
"Occupying an average of 28.2 percent of the used space, promotion/PR is clearly important for all sites. This indicates libraries are trying to engage their users with more than just text-based communications. The message seen in this content is libraries know they have value to provide and are working proactively to connect users to these essential resources and services rather than waiting for users to locate them on their own."
Not bad at all isn't it? Academic libraries are trying to market... That said Steven Bell in The Library Web Site of the Future would argue
So his problem is that such marketing are not prominent enough.
Marketing - a dynamic short term effect?
I think most marketing/PR type content consist of rotating banner type ads, which markets whatever is the "favour of the month". Are they effective in pulling in eyeballs and clicks? My own personal experience at my institution is while they don't beat mass email marketing, yes they are effective (contingent on positioning on your website).
That said, I am not a big fan of such dynamic content at least for long term efforts. So your library just did a big push for "shiny project or service of the year" and you splash it or over the big rotating side banner. All well and good for a quick boost in publicity but not something you would rely for in the long term on for a core, essential part of your library offerings.
If academic libraries are going to move toward expertise based services where librarians are your greatest resource, I would advocate a permanent, prominent spot on your library homepage to advertise your library expertise and services, what MIT Libraries does for their libguides and experts is a start.
Are bento style boxes or full library discovery the (short term) answer?One must be careful though of avoiding the problem pointed out by the famous xkcd webcomic
A redesign that goes too far , too fast before users are ready could backfire. The open access tipping point isn't easy to predict so a redesign that moves away from discovery is difficult to time.
Tons of user testing needed here.....
A possible solution is the bento style idea. I've written about the bento style idea at least half a dozen times.
Here's again the famous NCSU one that started it off.
Notice this form of bento style is distinguished from the following type of display of search results.
Lorcan Demseley called it the difference between full library discovery and full collection discovery.
The Villanova University Library example which is common with many Universities using Vufind etc, is still focused on showing only standard results from discovery systems including books and articles.
I have argued that this form of presentation is designed to help with relevancy issues. This is particularly useful for users who only have interest in typical catalogue results such as books or multimedia material, which may be buried in a more conventional "blended" single style result.
It also helps to cater to more sophisticated users who dislike the all in one blended approach and prefer results segregated by format.
However this still doesn't go far enough. The way ahead I agree is "full library discovery" and not just full "collection discovery".
The next generation website and also search will have a bento search that includes various sources, not just collection results, but also services, people expertise results.
This can be accomplished most simply by pulling in results from a general website search. More refined approaches would pull in anything from
- Libguides
- Faqs
- Some smart matching of Librarian profiles (See Mlibrary)
- Best bets - whatever is popular or uniquely searched by your users
Why is this important? Simply put, this allows the academic library to showcase not just the collection but also expertise and services.
So while Stanford library does not make it quite so easy to find GIS services and expertises directly by browsing, a search will surface it easily.
It is also a low risk strategy as compared to revamping the whole academic website.
I have not done a recent survey on academic libraries that use bento-style results from their search but it is likely to be popular with the biggest and most research intensive libraries.
MIT Libraries currently does not have it yet but their environment scan report prior to implementing Ebsco Discovery notes
"With the exception of BU, the sites that did offer a "Search All" option on their homepage, typically pointed users to a homegrown "composite library search" application that unified search results from multiple sources in a tabular user interface (see Stanford, NCSU, Dartmouth, Columbia, Virginia); with the exception of Stanford, these sites utilized the discovery service as a data source (via API) to populate an articles/e-books section of the composite library search results" and plans for one in the future.
Yale University is also implementing a quicksearch that is supposedly inspired by the Columbia example., though the current example includes only collection based boxes.
What are the drawbacks of a bento style box?The most obvious drawback is users are used to Google and Google Scholar style results.
Here's one way to put it.
"At present, we are not using bento. This is because our community is familiar with Ebsco's blended interface, in which the results are presented as a list, ranked by relevancy based on the available metadata."
From here to discovery
Some argue Google, does some degree of segregation, though I would argue not to the level Mlibrary or NCSU (another interesting example) does it.
Recently work by Karen Mills of the Open University What do students want from library discovery tools?
suggests that students are confused by Bento style results. This is probably due to confusion with the labels and terminology.
I suspect, the effectiveness of bento style boxes would be affected by the number of boxes and the type of users. Freshman with almost no academic experience will probably dislike bento style. On the other extreme, a experienced graduate student or faculty with good mental models of research would appreciate a bento style display especially if they are predisposed to utilize the other non-collection based services (eg consulting of librarians) that such a search would throw up.
As such, I would expect the most research intensive University Libraries who have a higher share of such advanced users to push for bento style searches, while community colleges might go for a blended google style results display. This is what we see of course, though this could be driven by the fact that bento style display results more resources to implement since currently the major web scale discovery services do not provide bento style results out of the box.
A personalised approach that allows one to pick either display is possible of course.
ConclusionLet me end by quoting Bell again.
With the rise of open access, the above has never been more true.
How would such a website look like, when the academic library is freed from the responsibility or duty of discovery? In the long term, I believe it should be radically different but that is for the future say 2020ish. For instance how would a "people/expert first search" look like? Would it simply be a CRIS system like Vivo?

I come here regularly because I they have the best Thai curry in town.... so far. The vermicelli bowls and pho are also very good!
We love going here for the #73, Lemon grass chicken, spring roll and a wonderful side salad. Been going here for over 10 years and great food!
The spring rolls are the best I've ever eaten..I get a craving for them..Salad with the vermicelli bowl is OUTSTANDING..chicken and beef are always overcooked..Very tough..Service is good.. Waiters are attentive and friendly..
Didn't know what to expect, but the food was pretty good! Friendly staff! We shared the #50 plate, and it was a very fair portion for two
I crave the Pho at this restaurant. The portions are so huge that I always have two meals. One for lunch the next day or dinner that night. It's never been too crowded at weekday lunches. The flavors are divine. We've had almost all of them. Also you must try the chicken lettuce wrap appetizer. It could be a meal...
I always order # 32 Rice Noodle Pho with beef broth. Wide selection, great appetizers, and authentic customer service. This place is busy during lunch on a regular basis, but that's a great sign of a great place.
The seating is a bit older and could use an upgrade, aside from that item everything else just perfect.
Continuing on my quest to find a good pho place in San Antonio, but this was not it. The menu was all in English, so that made it suspect right off. The pho here, as at Pho An, was more expensive than a typical pho place but the portion was fairly large. They had a wider selection of pho too,...
I went here with two others for lunch. They have an extensive menu, but none of us ordered the Pho, so this revue is "incomplete".
The Hot & Sour soup and Egg Drop soup were average (at best), and I would not reorder. The Spring Rolls were very good. The Pad Thai, Orange Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice were just...
The menu is large enough to test your will power to makeup your mind on what to eat. Being there after normal lunch time get the best service. Food came out quick and was what was ordered. Portions are enough to share ortakehome to eat later.
I really enjoyed the food here, awesome Thai for what it is worth, but there are consistency issues. Been here 2 separate times, the first was average service, and very fast paced, like they were pushing you out in less than 30 minutes, The second time we got sat a table that looked like it was not wiped properly, and...

I am the proud owner of Brandermill Country Club and Birkdale Golf Club, both owned by Acumen Golf. For over 10 years we have been dedicated to offering community golf at its best. We continually re-invest into our properties and employ only the best staff. Our members have access to 36 holes of golf and take advantage of the great amenities offered to them. Members can use both clubs swimming pools and driving ranges, along with a choice of many excellent food & beverage dining options. The member value has now increased with the addition of Hanover Country Club, a club Acumen Golf has managed for the past 2 years. Located just North of Ashland, this established Golf Club has a challenging 18 hole golf course that is a must to play.
As part of our ongoing commitment Birkdale has recently undergone a major course renovation, re-building all of the green complexes and greenside sand traps. The member and guest feedback has been very positive and the new look and feel of the course well received. We have also completed many additional course enhancements, including the installation of many forward tees embracing the 'play it forward' philosophy and the installation of a new bunker/chipping complex on the driving range.
Brandermill Country Club members are excited about their newly renovated pool complex, boasting a new design and feel, all overlooking the newly landscaped patio deck. After completing an extensive tree removal program we also completed a much needed greenside bunker renovation project. During the completion of this project we also added a number of new feature bunkers, as well as removed some unnecessary bunkers on the course. A driving range tee renovation was completed last year and recent upgrades this year have been made to the cart paths and many of the older tee boxes on the course. This winter we are embarking on a greens irrigation renovation updating all of our older irrigations heads, pipes and irrigation panels to more modern state of the art equipment that will greatly benefit the member playing experience.
I look forward to welcoming you at one of our clubs and as a hands-on active owner I always welcome feedback from our members and guests.

Relaxing holiday
Lovely villa with fantastic pool and hot tub/jacuzzi. Exactly as described with well equipped kitchen and comfy furniture. Nearest open bar we found was next door to mucho gusto a simple inexpensive Italian style restaurant well worth a visit. It was approx 20 min walk from the villa. The villa is in a rural location so a car is essential. The owner of the villa (Sharon) was a pleasure to book with and was very accommodating to our needs. Would definitely recommend for a very relaxing holiday.
Relaxing Holiday
We were looking for a quiet location for a relaxing break but in a good location to explore the Island. We found the villa to be spacious clean and comfortable with an exceptional pool area. The kitchen was well equipped but there was a good choice of restaurants and tavernas within easy travelling distance from the villa should you prefer to eat out. We had a brilliant holiday and would certainly go back again and would recommend it to friends and family. A car is essential to enjoy the many interesting places around.
cat nuisance
On arrival immediately pestered by a cat which kept trying to enter villa and made unloading difficult. The villa was clean but main bedroom smelt of cat and we couldn't open windws as said cat kept trying to come in. When we went to bed and moved the bed covers my wife started sneezing and her eyes started watering-a sure sign that the cat had been on the bed as she is allergic to cats. We had t use other room. Previous guests had problems according to visitor book with washing being sprayed and food taken. It was impossible to sit outside as the cat was constantly pestering us. This meant we hardly used the facilities we had paid for and when I tried the pool it was cold not heated. I did 'phone contact on island but got no answer. When I e-mailed owner on return very dismissive saying cat should not be in house but happy that cat had adopted their villa. The fact that there was a bowl and food provided says a lot! We felt the presence of the cat should be in the description as we would not have booked villa knowing this as it had a serious impact on our stay. Also the owners never sent details on receipt of payment and I had to chase them up a few days before departure - they say they were posted but they still haven't arrived. All in all very disappointing.
Activity and Interests

The event will honor the centennial of the late of Stetson Kennedy, American folklorist and human rights activist with a performance by Young Minds Readers Theater of Jacksonville, and a conversation on Kennedy's impact between Dr. Peggy A. Bulger, retired executive director of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress and Dr. Ben Brotemarkle, executive director of the Florida Historical Society.

Calm down, Coach. It's a joke.
Calm down, Coach. It's a joke.
How did he do that?!
And yet he's hardly a lock to win the National League Rookie of the Year.
The 25-year-old two-time All-Star leads all NL players in homers since the start of 2015.
"'What are we doing on this planet?' It's spinning a million miles an hour. How are we not feeling it?"
The rookie shortstop has a record seven homers in his first six games.

Dog plays fetch with live grenade in Germany
BERLIN (AP) - A dog playing fetch in Germany has found and delivered to its owner a U.S. hand grenade from World War II.
Police in the western town of Erkrath said Monday they were called by the dog's 40-year-old owner who stopped walking her pooch when she recognized the "rusty" object it was carrying was a weapon. Police summoned a munitions expert Sunday to identify and defuse the grenade.
Grenades and bombs left over from World War II are still often found in Germany.
Sometimes whole streets in neighborhoods are evacuated so that such devices can be safely defused.
In other 'dogs finding unusual items' news:
Dog gets high eating marijuana in Seattle park
SEATTLE (AP) — A dog that ran off from its owner in Seattle's Seward Park found and ate some marijuana and got high.
Owner Jen Nestor Waddell told KING-TV the 11-year-old black Lab mix named Jack was "just stoned" May 12 after they returned home from the park. The dog's eyes glossed over and he had trouble walking.
The vet said Jack had swallowed a large amount of dried, harvested marijuana. After some medication to induce vomiting and a night of rest Jack was back to normal.
Waddell told police about the drugs and joked they could borrow Jack to find them if they paid the $1,500 vet bill.

Join FLOREZ as they release the Not Alone EP on July 3rd at The Rutledge 410 4th Ave S., Nashville, TN 37201.
The four song EP offers development in the band's style and production quality and a move in a more electric direction.
The single "Coming To You," is based on a characteristically FLOREZ theme and a personal experience in Alex's life. The moral of the story is that despite mistakes in the past, Alex is "not alone" in his mistakes. By embracing community and the love that abounds in the people that surround us, not only can errors of the past be forgiven and one's spirit restored, but that future mistakes might be summarily avoided by holding strong to the idea that there is always someone just around the corner who has been where you are and would be willing to help.
$12 cover includes the Not Alone EP for this 18 and older show.
www. florezmusic. com
(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) JUNE, 2008 – FLOREZ has been invited to participate in the ALL ABOUT MUSIC TV & FILM workshop.
FLOREZ will perform a showcase at The Rutledge with Mando Saenz, Katie Herzig, Michael Ripoll, Kristin Diable, and Circleslide.
ALL ABOUT MUSIC TV & FILM is a company that prides itself on hosting an annual one-of-a-kind private retreat in Music City U.S.A. that provides rare networking opportunities for undeniable artists -- both signed and unsigned -- and the nation's elite L.A. and NYC-based TV & film music supervisors responsible for implementing music into the scenes of well-known television shows and movies.
ALL ABOUT MUSIC has showcased many Grammy Award-winning acts such as Mindy Smith and Jars of Clay, multiple Dove Award-winners like Nichole Nordeman and Natalie Grant, and platinum-tongued spoken word poet J. Ivy (whose credits include appearing on Kanye West's hit CD "Late Registration" with Jay-Z, a nationwide television and print ad campaign for Verizon Wireless and touring as one part of showstopping duo, J. Torae with 3 time Grammy winner, Tarrey Torae).
"This retreat is a time for artists, writers and industry professionals to connect in a unique way," All About Music TV & Film founder EMMIT MARTIN explains. "The industry needed something different -- something with more quality than quantity that could connect and educate artists and entertainment professionals. We champion great Pop, Rock, Christian, Country and Urban artists and music in an intimate setting found nowhere else. Many artists will get TV or film placements and some will get record deals but all will enjoy the spotlight and the connections they make during their time with us."
ALL ABOUT MUSIC has generated a countless number of success stories. Artists who have participated in past events have had their songs placed in such hit television shows as "ER" and "Felicity," earned appearances on HBO's "Def Poetry Slam," been called on to write theme songs and music (programming for Lifetime Television is just one example) and one entire band (Hawk Nelson) even landed the role of legendary rock band The Who on an episode of the hit NBC show, "American Dreams."
Nashville, Tenn., June 2008—the Nashville-based rock band, FLOREZ, recently signed a management contract with Hothead Group; an entertainment company in Franklin, Tennessee. The band, comprised of guitarist Alex Florez and bassist Erik Huffman, took a brief hiatus in 2006 while Huffman appeared as a contestant on the CBS reality TV show, "Survivor: China". Huffman spent 33 days in the wilderness of Southeast China and finished only three tribal councils short of a million dollars.
Since their debut in 2002, FLOREZ has shared the stage with a variety of artists including Gavin DeGraw, Better Than Ezra, Will Hoge & The Doobie Brothers. Recognized for their smooth harmonies and energetic, heartfelt performances, FLOREZ plans to broaden their fan base as they continue to build their career under the Hothead Group.
"We're thrilled to have formed a good working relationship with a group of people we feel so comfortable with on a personal level." Florez said. " They're in a great position to take on the work load that will help me and Erik concentrate on making great music."
Steve Cretin, an entrepreneur of several successful businesses, established Hothead Group in January of 2008. Cretin's goal for the company is to meet artists' needs for organization and management by creating an arrangement that is mutually beneficial for both parties.
"Hothead Group is looking to become a virtual one-stop shop for anything an artist may need in the areas of development, marketing, booking, production, publishing, distribution, and financial guidance." Cretin said. "FLOREZ has been given the freedom to do what they love, write and sing, by handing over the business side of their career to Hothead Group. With this shift of focus, this band has the talent and energy to make an impact on the music scene."
FLOREZ's latest EP, "Yellow Shoes" is available for purchase through their website and through the iTunes music store. For more information about FLOREZ, visit www.florezmusic.com. For more information about Hothead Group, visit www.hotheadgroup.com.
Hothead Group invests in each of its artists by funding front-end costs associated with various services. In return, the company shares in the proceeds generated from the services they provide. By offering aid in a variety of management-related areas, Hothead provides artists with an innovative alternative to label management, and the opportunity to collaborate with business professionals who are committed to the artists' success.
Hothead Group is part of Hothead Partners, LLC.
I have in my possession a truck-load of boxes filled with little yellow and white items called "digipacks." Inside each digipack is a disc that, when you put it in the right machine, plays music. In this case, the discs from these little yellow and white cartridges play music by FLOREZ. We hope you'll get yourself a copy soon.
If you prefer your music digital, we can arrange that, too. However, if you ask me, you can't really replace the feeling of having a brand new piece of music in your hands whose case you can put among your collection. If you're like me, you appreciate the way new things feel, the way they smell, even. (That may be weird to some of you, but I'll never forget the way "BloodSugarSexMagic" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers smelled when I first opened it!) That said, please get a copy and enjoy a more full experience of the music.
In the next couple of days we'll also launch our web site with a new look to it. We'll continue to update and improve www.florezmusic.com, but by visiting it next week, you'll at least find out how to get a copy of the "Yellow Shoes EP" and info on other FLOREZ material.
If you can't tell, I'm a little excited. I'm really happy with this new EP, and I'd put money on it that you will be too. Best wishes and God bless you all, -alex
Today at the band house, Erik and I will be joined by drummer Matt Murphy and producer Danny Torroll to continue pre-production for our next recording project. Also, Daniel Goins, who plays keys and guitar for the War, may swing by to add some texture. (By the way, please check out The War; you'll be glad you did!) We're really excited about the new project, as we think it's the final step before our next full length studio release.
The funny thing about the FLOREZ house is that it's not really the "FLOREZ" house anymore. Since Smitty left in July and I moved into my nuptial quarters in October, things have changed here at the homestead. First, Scott's brother Geoff moved into Smitty's old room and, second, two members of the War moved into the downstairs rooms. Since Scott works with both bands, the FLOREZ constituency no longer holds a majority. So, the new name of the house is "the War-Flo House." We're thinking of serving cheap breakfast food and staying open 24 hours to maximize profit potential.
Either way, the band house is still a "band house"; but now it's two different bands. We hope you'll get excited about 2008 for FLOREZ, a year we hope to release at least two EPs and one full length record. The first, Yellow Shoes EP, is due out first week of February. As for the War, they're only a few clicks away and i know their music will suck you right into the fray. (I'm not talking about the band, by the way.)
We hope this finds you blessed! -alex

Can Jurisdictional Uncertainty And Capital Controls Explain The High Level Of Real Interest Rates In Brazil? Evidence From Panel Data
The phenomenon of high and persistent short-term real interest rates in Brazil has stimulated an extensive literature attempting to explain its causes. Among the various contributions on the topic, one that has received considerable attention is the article by Arida, Bacha, and Lara-Resende (2004) (henceforth, ABL), which argues that risks associated with the jurisdiction and currency inconvertibility are relevant determinants of the level of short-term real interest rates. In the present paper, we formulate a methodology based on ABL's definition of jurisdiction uncertainty, use a set of institutional variables that proxy the degree of jurisdictional uncertainty, build an index of currency inconvertibility based on capital controls and use them to test ABL's conjecture and variants of it. The results are by and large unfavorable not only to ABL's conjecture, but also to variants of their argument. The results further indicate that traditional monetary and fiscal factors are far more relevant to explain the level of short-term real interest rates than the binomial jurisdictional uncertainty/ currency inconvertibility is.

- Fins cut Grimes The Fins release CB Brent Grimes, freeing $6.5 million in cap space
- Mario Williams signed DE Mario Williams signs a 2 years deal with the Fins
- Fins trade for CB Maxwell Fins swap 1st round picks with the Eagles for CB Maxwell and LB Alonso
- Adam Gase hired Coach Gase was hired as head coach of the Dolphins
Missed FGs now help Fins hold on and win
Finally! In the past it was missed FGs by Dan Carpenter that cost the Fins. But three missed FGs by Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein, including a 66 yarder as time expired helped the Dolphins hold on to a 17-14 victory over the Rams.
QB Ryan Tannehill had his best game of the season (statistically) going 21 of 29 passes for 185 yards and 2 touchdown. His QB rating was 112. And this against a very stout Rams defense.
Tannehill also had help from receiver Marlon Moore, who had 3 catches and a TD. This after the Rams game planned for Devone Bess and Brian Hartline.
The Rams outgained the Dolphins 462-192, and were helped by some overturned reviews. (One of which was clearly bogus in my opinion.) But the Fins defense came through when it counted.
DE Olivier Vernon finally showed up today, registering 2 sacks. The second sack was on third down, which pushed the Rams back to a 66yardFGattempt.TheDolphins are now 3-3 heading into the bye week. After the bye, Miami faces their hated rival,theJets,inthe Meadowlands.Join us on our message board and share your thoughts!! Get started here!

|Uninstalling Applications
|Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:25:59 GMT
Hi all, I'm having a few problems - so I'm trying to get rid of error messages during start up and shut down to try and track down the issue. First, I have several error messages in the catalina log that reference applications that I have removed from my web site. How do I prevent them being loaded up during start of tomcat5.5? Also, I would love to be able to run the admin, but I have a headless server so I need to access /manager from a remote machine. I haven't been able to find the documentation for that. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt Burkhardt, MSTM President Impari Systems, Inc. 401 Rosemont Avenue Frederick, MD 21701 email@example.com www.imparisystems.com (301) 644-3911
