Patti Crookshank had just crossed the Boston Marathon finish line, with a sore hip, when she heard the first blast.
"The street was just filled with people with marathon blankets on," said Crookshank, 51, from Snohomish. "We heard the blast and everybody turned around and looked."
She was about a block away.
"It was the kind of blast, it shook your hair. Smoke was coming out on the left side of the finish line, billowing out," Crookshank said.
She figures it was just 10 seconds later when the second explosion rocked the area. "Our first thought was: 'What's going to blow up next?'" said Crookshank, whose husband, Randy Crookshank, was at the finish line to walk across with her.
Crookshank was one of about 40 runners from Snohomish County participating in the marathon, which was rocked by two bomb blasts Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 140 others.
Within minutes of the blasts, police and National Guard members were running through the crowd. "They wanted all the runners to move quickly and get around the corner to the family meeting area around the block," she said.
Emergency vehicles and fire trucks came next, pushing runners out of the way, Crookshank said.
Here are some of the stories told by county marathoners who participated in the race and others:
Adam Cornell: The Snohomish County deputy prosecutor and his wife were sitting in a Boston hotel Monday afternoon, listening to the wailing of sirens as emergency crews continued to tend to the dozens of injured people.
Cornell had crossed the finish line about an hour before the blasts.
His wife, who was there to cheer him on, had walked by one of the sites about 20 minutes before the deadly explosions.
"It could have been my wife or me," Cornell said. "It's just, just unfathomable.
"My memory of my first Boston Marathon will not be about finishing the race but about the innocent people who were harmed for some unknown reason," he said.
Kristen Carter: The 25-year-old women's winner of the 2012 Seattle Marathon told family members that she was back in her hotel resting after completing the Boston Marathon when the explosion occurred.
"An awful lot of people want to know what's going on with my daughter," her father, John Carter, of Bellingham, said.
Carter said he had received four texts from his daughter, wanting him to reassure family and friends that she was unhurt and OK.
Carter said his daughter finished a little slower than she had hoped, with a time of 2:47:38, because of a pulled quadriceps muscle.
The Bellingham woman posted the following message on Facebook before the start of Monday's race:
"Take my feet and let them be, Swift and beautiful for Thee, Game on time."
Joleen Rodgers: The Snohomish High School sprint team coach said she was in the finishing chute, a little disappointed with being slowed by leg cramps, when she heard a loud bang. "No one was really sure what it was. Not knowing at all what was happening was really chaotic," she said. "You could see smoke. Some people were screaming."
Rodgers, 36, who works at The Everett Clinic, belongs to a group called the Marathon Maniacs, and has participated in about two dozen marathons.
She and her husband, Jason Rodgers, were also in Boston to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. It took about 10 minutes for the couple to find each other.
"It felt way too long," she said.
Monday afternoon, Rodgers posted to Facebook saying that she was scared but OK. "Very close to the finish line at the time" (of the explosion), she posted. "Mass chaos … so scary. Please pray."
Steven Nester: The 18-year-old was home in Bothell when he got a call from his grandmother telling him about the Boston explosions. His mother, Suzanne Nester, 44, was running her first Boston Marathon.
"I didn't know about it until my grandmother called," he said.
He quickly called his father, Jeff Nester, who was in Boston but not running with his wife.
"My dad said he had to get off the line quickly," he said. His father told him they were both safe. The couple left for Boston on Saturday and planned to be home Thursday.
"He was there to support her," Nester said of his father. "It looks awful," he added.
Faye Britt: Arlington's Haller Middle School vice principal had crossed the finish line shortly before the first explosion. She and other runners were taken to a safe place away from the downtown area.
"She was able to get to the airport and make her plane home," said Arlington School District spokeswoman Andrea Conley said. "Faye is safe."
Erin Park: The 42-year-old Lake Stevens woman was about a half-mile from reaching the finish line when she suddenly heard sirens and saw helicopters swarming overhead.
"The race came to a stop," she said. "We didn't know what was going on."
Finally, she and her husband, Matt Park, left the race course.
Park was one of six people from a running group called S3 participating in the race. Several of the members gathered for a photo Sunday at the finish line.
Park works as a recovery room nurse at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. It was her fourth marathon but the first time she participated in the Boston Marathon.
Until the moment the race stopped, it had been an ideal day for running, she said, with temperatures in the mid-50s, sunny and with a light breeze.
"The race was the most amazing race," she said. "Every mile … people were yelling your name and cheering. Until the end, it was the most fun race I've ever done."
Herald writers Gale Fiege and Alejandro Dominguez also contributed to this report.

Behind a combined 29 points from JT Yoho and Miles Dixon, the Wright State men's basketball team won its home opener Friday night, defeating North Carolina A&T 56-44 at WSU's Nutter Center.
The Raiders were on fire early, connecting on five three-pointers in the first 11 minutes in building a 24-12 advantage. The lead was still 12 before Austin Witter hit a three with 2:14 remaining to make it 29-20 at the half.
WSU shot 50 percent in the opening 20 minutes and was five of 14 from behind the arc while the Aggies shot just 29 percent.
North Carolina A&T drew to within five twice in the early stages of the second half, only to see Wright State put the game out of reach with a 17-8 run over a 10-minute span, six of those coming from Dixon and five by Yoho.
The Raiders shot 47 percent overall and outscored the Aggies 22-14 in the paint and 20-6 in points off of turnovers.
Yoho continued his strong start to his collegiate career as he led the way with 15 points. The freshman forward now has scored 46 points in his first three games. Dixon added 14 off the bench.
Witter had a near double-double of 10 points and nine rebounds for North Carolina A&T (1-2) while Adrian Powell also had 10.
Wright State, now 3-0 for the first time since starting 4-0 during the 2002-03 season, heads to Salt Lake City, Utah, next week for the Utah Thanksgiving Tournament. The Raiders will face Central Michigan on Wednesday, November 21, at 6:00 Eastern, Idaho State on Friday, November 23, at 9:45 Dayton time and host Utah on Saturday, November 24 at 9:30 Eastern.

A 61-year-old woman was killed when her car struck a light pole late Friday, police said Saturday.
The woman was identified as Besfanet England, said Coroner's Lt. Larry Dietz.
The woman was heading west in the 3100 block of Lomita Boulevard around 11 p.m. Friday when for some reason her car veered to the right and crashed into a pole, said Torrance police Sgt. Chris Kozak.
Firefighters from the Torrance Fire Department pronounced the woman dead at the scene, he said, adding she was the vehicle's only occupant.
The crash investigation closed Lomita Boulevard between Early and Telo avenues for about three hours, Kozak said.
Officers asked anyone with information about the crash to call the Torrance Police Department's Traffic Division at 310-618-5557.

Gilad Shalit was welcomed home today after five long years in the Hamas prison system. (The Telegraph is live-blogging his homecoming for those interested.)
The 477 Palestinian prisoners who were freed today in exchange for Shalit are also celebrating their own homecoming, albeit under different circumstances. (The remaining 550 prisoners will be released in two months.) Though Israel hopes the terms of Shalit's release will lead to renewed peace efforts, Gazans have already greeted their released compatriots with demands for more kidnapping and violence:
"The people want a new Gilad!" the crowd chanted, suggesting the abductions of Israeli soldiers would mean freedom for thousands more Palestinians imprisoned in Israel.
…most of the 477 prisoners freed Tuesday had been serving life terms for killing Israelis, and their release violated a long-standing Israeli pledge not to free those with "blood on their hands"…
In his speech, Abbas praised the released prisoners as "freedom fighters."
He suggested that his method of negotiations was also bearing fruit, saying that "there is an agreement between us and the Israeli government on another batch (of releases) similar to this batch after it finishes."
His comments marked the first time he referred to an additional prisoner release, and there was no immediate Israeli comment.
The Boston Globe has some sobering (and gruesome) details about several specific Palestinian soldiers and the reasons they had been imprisoned. JTA has more here.
Even so, polls indicate that an overwhelming majority of Israelis supported the terms of the exchange–likely because universal conscription means nearly all Israelis can strongly identify with the desire to leave no soldier behind.
Curiously, polls also indicate that 66% of Israelis have little hope for a peaceful solution to the Palestinian conflicts. 67% of those polled last month also said that President Netanyahu did not believe peace with the Palestinians is possible.
It's as if Israelis are desperate for an end to the conflict, but have all but given up hope that an agreement will ever be reached. No doubt Palestinian families feel the same way, though many of their leaders seem bent on continuing the conflict at all costs.
Netanyahu noted this morning that "On this day, we are all united in both joy and pain." That may be the best, most universally applicable summary of this situation yet uttered. And as Palestinians welcome home their loved ones today, no less loved for having blood on their hands, it's hard to imagine a time when the pain and the joy will not be thus co-mingled.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by Sam I Am, Oct 19, 2011.
Migration of Red Crabs Began in Guanahacabibes
Explanation: Ghostly in appearance, Abell 39 is a remarkably simple, spherical nebula about five light-years across. Well within our own Milky Way galaxy, the cosmic sphere is roughly 7,000 light-years distant toward the constellation Hercules. Abell 39 is a planetary nebula, formed as a once sun-like star's outer atmosphere was expelled over a period of thousands of years. Still visible, the nebula's central star is evolving into a hot white dwarf. Although faint, the nebula's simple geometry has proven to be a boon to astronomers exploring the chemical abundances and life cycles of stars. In this deep image recorded under dark night skies, very distant background galaxies can be found -- some visible right through the nebula itself.

What is so whacky about all the space pics?
Nothing. They just totally kick ***. You don't have to look if you don't like them.
Edit: Actually, much of what you see. Is completely wacky compared to every day things on this earth.
I like them. So keep em coming
Sho thang!
This nebula (IC 1396) image is actually wacky! :laugh2:
Me too Sam. I hadn't seen that picture of Abell 39. Fascinating.
I like them too...just doesn't seem "wacky" like this thread suggests. I wish Sam I am would post a pic of himself. That'd be wacky!
An image of me exists on this board already.
It was just a police mug shot though
I was on a boat! Since when do they take mugshots on boats? :laugh2:
Maybe at some point I will post a better (and bigger) image.

The discovery of a star with spiral arms in 2011 startled researchers using the Subaru telescope in Hawaii. The star, SAO 206462, is more than four hundred light years from Earth in the constellation Lupus, the wolf. Two spiral arms, acquired by the Subaru Telescope and its HiCIAO instrument, emerge from the gas-rich disk around SAO 206462. This image is the first to show spiral arms in acircumstellar disk --some 14 billion miles across, or about twice the size of Pluto's orbit in our own solar system.
Researchers strongly suspected that new planets might be coalescing inside the disk, which is about twice as wide as the orbit of Pluto. But when they took a closer look at SAO 206462 they found not planets, but arms. Astronomers have seen spiral arms before: they're commonly found in pinwheel galaxies where hundreds of millions of stars spiral together around a common core. Finding a clear case of spiral arms around an individual star, however, is unprecedented, The arms might be a sign that planets are forming within the disk.
btw, I highly recommend you click on these images. They will pop out in full size and you can see much better detail.
Explanation: It's easy to get lost following the intricate filaments in this detailed mosaic image of faint supernova remnant Simeis 147 (S147). Also cataloged as Sh2-240, it covers nearly 3 degrees or 6 full moons on the sky. That's about 150 light-years at the stellar debris cloud's estimated distance of 3,000 light-years. Anchoring the frame at the right, bright star Elnath (Beta Tauri) is seen towards the boundary of the constellations Taurus and Auriga, almost exactly opposite the galactic center in planet Earth's sky. This sharp composite includes image data taken through a narrow-band filter to highlight emission from hydrogen atoms tracing the shocked, glowing gas. The supernova remnant has an estimated age of about 40,000 years, meaning light from the massive stellar explosion first reached Earth 40,000 years ago. But the expanding remnant is not the only aftermath. The cosmic catastrophe also left behind a spinning neutron star or pulsar, all that remains of the original star's core.
Bourtange Star Fort in Groningen, Netherlands
Scientists using the Spitzer Infrared Space Telescope detected tiny specks of matter, or particles, consisting of stacked buckyballs. They found the particles around a pair of stars called "XXOphiuchi," 6,500 light-years from Eart --enough to fill the equivalent in volume to 10,000 Mount Everests.
#BAFact: When massive stars are born, their UV light and fierce winds carve huge cavities in the surrounding gas.
Many stars are born in vast gas clouds, light years across. If the newborn stars are massive and hot, they can blast out huge amounts of ultraviolet radiation and blow strong super-solar winds. This eats away at the gas and dust in the cloud from the inside out, turning the cloud into more of a soap bubble.
The image below is in the far infrared and shows Barnard 3, one such cloud being dissolved by the intense energy of the star in its center (the one surrounded by the reddish glow). Mind you, this cloud is 250 trillion (250,000,000,000,000) kilometers across!

LA VERNE -- The Auto Club Speedway of Fontana recently awarded Roynon Elementary School $3,000 for its school library.
Each of Roynon's 743 students participated in Lefty's Challenge, which is the speedway's annual incentive-based reading contest. The challenge invited students to keep track of their reading on a provided reading log for a three-week period that began mid-January.
At a recent NASCAR race, Roynon's Principal Sean Grycel accepted the grand prize check at a pre-race ceremony with nearly the whole school looking on. As part of the top awards, each student received a ticket to the race and at least one additional ticket based on the number of books they read. All Roynon staff members received two tickets to the NASCAR race.
"The prize money will be used to purchase current book titles and new computers to help support students using the Accelerated Reader program," Grycel said.

Hi,I have stupid question.I'm trying to pull a specific js file which matches specific target browser like something below:
if browser = webkit
<script src='webkit.js'></script>
else if browser = opera
<script src='opera.js'></script>
Can I achieve this. How so?
Thanks in advance
On the side note: I don't really want to target different browsers, just the feature associate with them.
Thanks for reply,
base on my research, document.write("<script src='opera.js'></script>"); should work.
But as felgall said, you don't know when to use that because you don't know which browser someone is using. In JS, you can test that a feature is supported before actually using it ... which is what felgall was saying.
Apart from the fact that you will never know when to call that because you can't tell whether the browser is Opera or not unless your visitor tells you it is (in which case it might still be Internet Explorer or Firefox pretending to be Opera) the </script> there will terminate the script - you would need to specify it as <\/script> for it to work.
Also document.write became obsolete when Netscape 4 died. There are several better ways to generate HTML from JavaScript now.
I think this going to be giving me a headache.
What's your aim with this, anyhow? It doesn't sound very practical to target browsers in general.
if(browser = chrome) {
document.write("<script src='webkit.js'></script>")
} else if(browser = opera) {
document.write("<script src='opera.js'></script>")
It is true because all you are collecting there is what your visitor has their browser set to identify itself as.
Opera, Chrome, and Safari can all identify themselves as Firefox or Internet Explorer.Internet explorer and Firefox can identify themselves as anything at all.
If the browser claims to be "Eat at Joe's" version 21 how are you going to tell if it is really IE 7 or Firefox 9 or some other version of one of those browsers?
If the browser identifies itself as Internet Explorer 27 how are you going to tell what browser iand version it really is?
All you can collect with the code you are referring to is what browser I decide to tell you I am using - and if you use that antiquated code (obsolete even in Netscape 2) then likely your site will not work propelry for many visitors and they will send you a fake value just to bypass your code. I have to do that to access the web site for my bank because they stupidly check for certain valuees in those fields even though their site works in other modern browsers as well.
Fortunately most modern browsers can be set to provide different information to different sites based on what browser you want the site to think you are using.
Thanks to make it clear. I'll keep that in mind.
This is stupid considering this post: http://www.sitepoint.com/ie7-tax/

GSA Administrator to Testify Before House Homeland Security Committee
January 3, 2008
Contact: Jen Millikin, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Lurita Doan today testified before the House Committee on Homeland Security in El Paso, Texas on how GSA, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is bringing new energy and ideas to the process of designing and building secure Land Ports of Entry (LPOE).
"America's borders must be secure and welcoming," Administrator Doan said. "Land Ports of Entry are the nation's doors to the outside world, where millions of visitors and over $2 billion in trade cross each day. GSA's goal is simple: to improve security and expand capacity by building new facilities and modernizing existing infrastructure where needed thereby moving cargo faster and eliminating long lines of frustrated travelers."
The Administrator's testimony before the committee at the Chamizal National Memorial Theater in El Paso will note that GSA is committed to more boldly assume the leadership role to better design, build, expand, and maintain our Nation's Land Ports of Entry. GSA's goal is simple: to expand capacity and build new facilities where they are needed most, in a timely manner. The days of performing yet another study to tell us that we have a congested border are over. On an average day, over 320,000 vehicles, 136,000 pedestrians and 30,000 trucks pass through the nation's 163 border crossings. Protecting the 6,900 miles of border with Canada and Mexico are 120 GSA LPOE that allow the safe and efficient flow of lawful traffic and commerce while at the same time preventing the illegal entry of people, drugs, terrorists or weapons into the country.
As work proceeds on the Paso Del Norte Bridge (PDN) in El Paso, GSA has worked with the local community to open additional pedestrian and vehicular lanes during the holidays. The $31.2 million PDN expansion will add nine new pedestrian and two vehicular lanes to the facility. The project will also increase the space of the existing structures, replace the kennel facilities and create additional office space when the construction project is completed.
GSA currently has 26 LPOE projects underway at a value of approximately $640 million. GSA and DHS are working together on a number of initiatives to deliver this expanded program, including shortening the delivery cycle for LPOEs and devoting greater resources to expanding critical border facilities and doing so at best value to the federal government and the American taxpayer.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and eGov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions. Did You Know? GSA has 26 active LPOE projects valued at approximately $640 million.

text: Apparently reality television is now going to be populated with guys who cheat (Hank Baskett) or cheat but have a fake mistress created (Dean McDermott) to add a little spice to their reality programs. Nothing says race to the bottom faster than capitalizing on real or perceived infidelity to make a buck. I'm sure that conversation with the kids will be especially easy. Kendra and Hank are on vacation in Costa Rica together. There are no cameras with them because their season is finished filming. Apparently the two have been all over each other. I guess the way you get a followup season to the infidelity season is to have a make nice season. If the ratings tank then I guess they will have a splitting up season followed by a dating a new person season. The name of the game is to keep making a living doing absolutely nothing no matter what you have to show the world. If you stay on television then you keep making money from the shows and appearances. If you can't stay on television then you lose fame and you might actually have to work for a living or if you are Kendra go back and hop in line on the nightly Hefner train.

I think the best way to describe to you what I think about these situations is...Holy Smokes!! I can't believe that all happened in such a short amount of time. I would've been freaked out too if I were you with the creepy guy on the street. Better safe than sorry.
Bears are so pretty...but so okay with eating people also...hey we all have our quirks :p It's pretty amazing though to have a photo like that!

Holy cow, woman! Those are some terrifying experiences! What was up with the shady drifter who was following you?! I'm so glad you were about to get away from him. There's no point in taking any risks around shady drifters!
And all those animals vs. car situations! I bet sadly a lot of accidents up there are caused by them. I'm so happy you are all great and attentive drivers! :)
So many adventures! But I'm glad you are back where there aren't any black bears! ;)

OMG that man sounds really scary. I probably would have freaked out.. I don't think you were paranoid at all.. Probably, not a bright move for your brother to get as close to the bear as he could but, definitely a cool picture!!
In our sea of love

I am not sure how I would handle almost dying so many times in one day! Haha. It sure does make for lots of good stories though. :] The crazy, weird man story reminds me of a funny stalker kinda story that I exaggerated in my head years ago. I might have to write a post about it now. :]

Yikes! Now that's what I call an exciting holiday! I am not convinced that was a 'fairly small' bear though, he looked massive to me! I would have run for the hills!

Hi, I'm a complete beginner and I recently purchased 2 Alfa WiFi adapters, one of them being for my partner. I thought it would be useful to have both the AWUS036H and the AWUS036NH between us.
To date, only the AWUS036NH has arrived, so I've been trying it out with BT5.
root@bt:~# iwconfig>
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg... (inbuilt adapter)
wlan1 IEEE 802.11bgn... (AWUS036NH)
OK so far.
root@bt:~# airmon-ng
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 Intel 3945ABG iwl3945 - [phy0]
wlan1 Unknown rt2800usb [phy1]
Most of the examples of AWUS036NH use within BT I've read on this and other forums have shown:
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan* Ralink RT2870/3070 rt2800usb
So the driver seems to be right and the card is functioning to some extent, but the "Unknown" chipset has me wondering whether the card is a fake or whether it's just incorrectly configured or drivered in BT5.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Insights: The Challenges (& Opportunities) of Starting a Tech Company in LA
Jason Nazar is CEO and founder of Santa Monica-based document sharing firm DocStoc, and recently put together his thoughts on the challenges, and opportunities, facing startups in Los Angeles. He gave us permission to reprint it in our Insights and Opinions section.
I recently hosted a panel at the Twiistup Conference about LA tech companies. I asked the panelists (David Travers, Brian Norgard, Fouad ElNaggar, & Demian Sellfors) about the specific challenges that we face down here in Los Angeles as opposed to Silicon Valley. I have some pretty specific thoughts on the differences between companies in the two cities, as I wrote about in my previous post A Tale of Two Tech Cities. But I thought I'd take some more time here to expand on what I think are the challenges, and opportunities, of starting a tech company in LA.
Challenge #1 – Tech Companies are Not Typically Started by Technologists.
In the bay area it's quite common for the entrepreneurs starting a company to be developers or technologists who can build the first versions of their products. That's typically not the case in Los Angeles. Here it seems that entrepreneurs are coming out of business school, transitioning from corporate life, or hail from the entertainment industry. Whereas in Silicon Valley, you can have a V.1 of a product up and running in a few months weeks getting thousands of users (More...)

Sure it's a little late to the party but don't be put off by the hefty price, this new Optimus is a right smartie. The 4X HD offers up a HD screen, quad core power and plenty of tricks for a considerable chunk less a month (on contract) than the big players from Samsung, Apple and HTC.
It's been a while since we had a new LG smartphone in our midst – the last one was the LG Prada Phone 3.0 back in March – so we put the 4X HD through its paces to see if it belongs in our pantheon of jaw-dropping 2012 handsets.
Meet the wafer-phone
Looking like a tasty black and silver wafer, the Optimus 4X HD shares the Prada Phone 3.0's leather-like textured back and understated (but slightly boring) design. Though it's skinny at 8.9mm thick, the wide 4.7in screen takes it into awkward Samsung Galaxy Note territory for making phone calls, especially for the smaller gadgeteer using one hand. The reassuring weight does make it feel expensive though.
We liked the prism effect down the sides a lot but the 4X HD's volume rocker does get slightly lost amongst the metal details. That said, it does offer a helpful grip to rest your thumbs on when watching movies and while it doesn't have the wow factor of the HTC One X, for example, it has the size and the heft to save face against the superphones. It's pretty minimalist all round with just a microUSB slot on the bottom edge for charging, a headphone jack on the top left and a removable back cover hiding the microSD and SIM card slots.
HD screen
The Optimus 4X HD's big and bright 1280 x 720 IPS display is really what sets it apart from the rest of the mid-range pack. Whites look clean, text looks sharp and the 16:9 ratio plus good viewing angles will stop film buffs from chucking their popcorn out of the pram. And yes, that's the same ratio Apple's just chosen for the iPhone 5 but if you need some ammunition, it's worth mentioning that the 4X HD's screen is 0.7in bigger with a similar pixel density at 313 ppi versus 326 ppi. The only downside is that the 4X HD's screen is more smudgetastic than most but once you've wiped away your thumb prints, colour reproduction is excellent.
Quad core Tegra 3 performance
LG is making a big noise about the battery saver core of the 1.5GHz quad-core chip running the 4X HD show but all you need to know is that for calls, web browsing and messaging, the 4X HD won't even have to break into a sweat. While a touch slower than the Galaxy S3, we also threw some Tegra 3-optimised games at the 4X HD and it coped admirably without a single hitch.
Our favourite was the beautifully executed Horn, which although a little pricey at $8.07, has a fantastic storyline (about people turning into monsters), impressive-looking graphics and fun swipe and tap fighting. Forgive the occasional crash and you'll wonder why anyone ever bought a PlayStation Vita.
Battery life was only so-so by comparison: official LG figures say you'll get up to five hours talktime on 3G and up to four hours of 3G browsing. In our testing, the 4X HD stretched to seven hours of fairly continuous use – so it's a good job you can swap in a battery if you need to.
Optimus UI 3.0
It might not have the tech bells and whistles of Popup Play and Smart Stay on the Galaxy S3 but LG has made some tweaks of its own to Ice Cream Sandwich and they're pretty user friendly. Peeking through to the main homescreen from the lockscreen gets addictive quickly, even if it is just to check the weather.
And blowing up icons into widgets (like changing the Internet icon into a grid of bookmarks or adding a larger Calendar view) is refreshing, especially if iOS has locked up your homescreens and thrown away the key. Replacing third-party app icons with photos from our gallery felt like a step too far but customisation options are there for everything including transitions.
If you watch a lot of homegrown vids, the Direct list view in LG's MediaPlex video player is useful: tap the arrow on the left hand side of the screen and you can view all your vids as playable thumbnails which can be dragged and dropped into the main screen. You can also zoom and pan around the footage in real time, alter the speed and get video-in-video with Fingertip Seek.
With fairly speedy touch to focus, natural looking colours and a bright f/2.4 lens, the 8MP snapper bringing up the Optimus 4X HD's rear has everything the casual shutterbug will need in a smartphone cam. LG has also thrown in HDR, a panorama mode, burst mode and the nifty Time Catch function which takes four shots before your finger has hit the on screen shutter button.
The 4X HD can also handle 1080p at 30fps very smoothly with the ability to zoom while recording (with no pesky noises of course) and take snaps at the same time a la the HTC One X. There's two mics, one on the top and one on the bottom, to help pick up sound too.
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update
LG told us to expect a Jelly Bean update in early 2013 for the Optimus 4X HD. Hold your whining though, there'll be a maintenance update in October to keep you entertained till then – and it's set to include a voice shutter feature for the camera (amongst other goodies) that will let you take photos by saying 'Cheese'.
Versus Samsung Galaxy S3
As the Optimus 4X HD is available for less than the Galaxy S3, LG could end up with some serious sales to Android fans whose budgets don't stretch to the most expensive smartphones. The S3's plastic body makes it look cheaper than it is, particularly the white version, and while you might not get picture-in-picture multi-tasking on the 4X HD, for everyday use you won't notice any considerable lag in perfomance by comparison.
Ask us which Android phone we'd buy though and we'd still plump for the S3 everytime – an incredible battery life, supreme performance and innovative features keep it at the top spot of our Android phones for now. When you remember it also has the same NFC skills (writeable tags come in the box) and media file sharing for when you're back at the ranch, the LG Optimus 4X HD is a more than worthy alternative.

CSM Mine Rescue Team assists in rescue of teen from mine shaft
1st Annual Collegiate MERD Competition, February 2011
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 25, 2011 – The Colorado School of Mines Mine Rescue Team assisted in the rescue of a teenager trapped inside a mine shaft in Golden, Monday, Oct. 24, 2011. The team was dispatched at the request of the Golden Fire Department and provided surface support to the rescue efforts.
"We're honored to be able to help out in a real emergency situation," said Clancy Harman, a mining engineering major and president of the Colorado School of Mines Mine Rescue Team. "We were happy to offer our expertise. Last night we worked in a supportive role. It worked out great. We learned a lot. Overall, it was a success."
The Mine Rescue Team consists of 30 student members. They train twice each month and run drills in the Edgar Mine in Idaho Springs, also known as the Colorado School of Mines Experimental Mine.
In the United States, there are only five collegiate mine rescue teams. Colorado School of Mines has the first all-female mine rescue team.

Drake not allowed into Miami Heat's locker room victory party
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Platinum-selling recording artist Drake is a close personal friend of LeBron James. Heck, he's more than that; James himself once called Drake "real family." Combine that with the fact that the singer/rapper once famously called the Miami Heat the best team ever two months after they had watched the Dallas Mavericks celebrate an NBA championship on their home floor, and clearly, his Heatles bona fides have long since been established. (Step your game up, Bieber.)
So after the Heat finished off a 95-88 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals to lock down their second straight NBA championship, Drake made his way from his courtside seat toward the victorious home team's locker room, where he could join his longtime pal in celebrating the Heat's triumph. Just one problem: He didn't have a locker room pass.
Drake was just stopped by security. He tried getting in the locker room without media pass. "I am media," he said with a laugh.— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) June 21, 2013

Welcome to IsraelNationalTrail.com!
The Israel National Trail (INT) is a footpath that winds its way nearly 1000 kilometers across Israel, from the Lebanese border in the north to the Red Sea in the south. Because of the way it traverses Israel's unique physical, ethnic, and religious landscape, the INT is gaining a reputation as one of the world's great long-distance treks.
The INT Data Project is continuing to update the English-language resources found on this website.

Fit the decorating bag with tip 12 and fill 1/2 full with medium constistency icing. Hold the bag and tip at 90° angle, slightly above the surface of your cake.
Pipe dot balloons by squeezing the bag, applying steady even pressure. As the icing begins to build up, raise the tip with it, but keep the tip buried in the icing. Stop squeezing as you bring the end of the tip to the surface. Lift the tip up and pull away from your piped ball. Use the edge of the tip to shave off any point so your ball is nicely rounded.
Add a tip 2 string.

Police Confirm Four Dead In St. Louis Shooting
(St. Louis, MO) -- St. Louis police are confirming the deaths of four people in a workplace shooting. Investigators say two men and two women were killed when someone started shooting inside the Cherokee Place Business Incubator on the city's south side. The gun has been recovered and police are not looking for any suspects. Police would not confirm reports that two women and one man are in custody.

Thanks in advance for for taking the time to answer my question. I haven't be able to find which programs are accessible by default when I add an user. I understand that I won't be able to run most of BT3's programs without root but, is their a default list of programs/commands for users in SlackW or BT3? Is it something I need to edit by myself? Where can I see the list for default privileges?
( I know BT is not for the average user but, I'm trying to learn about *linux, slackware, and networks.)

Apollo Nida ARRESTED for fraud & identity theft!
Things just got real for Apollo Nida.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was arrested on Friday for federal charged of fraud and identity theft.
Phaedra Parks' husband has already spent time behind bars for his shady business dealings and now it looks like he may be headed back to the slammer.
According to reports, he turned himself in after he was implicated by a woman named Gayla St. Julien show as arrested for criminal activities related to fraud in September. She told cops that Apollo was the mastermind behind her crimes and called herself his "right hand b**ch."
The AJC dug up the scoop:
Alexandre Herrera, a U.S. Secret Service Agent in the Counterfeit and U.S. Treasury Check Squad, in a written affidavit, charged that Nida created fake companies, enabling him to access databases to find individuals to rip off. He opened fake bank accounts under those real names and funneled stolen U.S. Treasury checks and auto loan proceeds into those accounts.
The agent in February 2012 began investigating alleged criminal activities of Gayla St. Julien, who he said was opening bank accounts under stolen identities to commit bank and check fraud. The investigation ran until September, 2013. At that point, they found 40 bank accounts tied to her. The complaint provided a sampling of bank accounts totaling about $3 million tied to alleged fraudulent activities.
The office also identified two fake debt-collection businesses used to "illicitly obtain personal identifying information of individuals." The companies used LexisNexis and Equifax database inquiries to steal identities. St. Julien was arrested on Sept. 11, 2013 by the Secret Service. She implicated Nida as the man who orchestrated many of the alleged fraudulent schemes. She had worked with Nida since 2009.
St. Julien "described herself as NIDA's 'right hand b****' in executing the legwork of his fraud schemes," Herrera wrote. She told him she received "scraps" compared to how much he pocketed.
Nida would allegedly steal real people's identities and have St. Julien pretend to be them to open bank accounts. She would then deposit fraudulent auto loan checks, stolen U.S. Treasury checks, stolen retirement checks issued to Delta Airlines employees, and checks in the names of real people that were owed unclaimed property from various state and federal government agencies, according to the criminal complaint.
He also opened a fake auto dealership (such as Ferrari Autohaus) and apply for auto loans in the names of stolen identities. After the arrest, the agents had St. Julien tape record conversations with Nida in which he explained many of his schemes. At one point, they obtained a federal search warrant of Nida's vehicle and seized evidence, including a bank debit card in the name of Ferrari Autohaus Inc., cell phones and a laptop computer."
It looks like there may be another criminal who thought it would be wise to put himself on blast via reality television.
When will they learn?

Auto Accident Checklist
An automobile accident can be a confusing and stressful event, but being prepared can help you remain calm. It's important to know what to do immediately after an accident and what to do in the days following.
Immediately after an accident
- Don't panic.
- Pull off the road if the accident is minor. If the accident is serious and there are injuries, or if you believe there will be a dispute as to who's at fault, don't move the vehicles.
- Call for police or medical assistance if necessary. In some states, police must be called if there is any property damage.
- If you believe that the accident was staged intentionally, drive away to a safe or public location, signaling to the other driver that you are doing so. Don't get out of your vehicle if you feel threatened.
- Take any necessary safety precautions. Set up flares or warning triangles starting 50 feet behind the vehicle. Turn on your flashers. Call a tow truck, if needed. Try to direct traffic away from the scene, if you can do so safely.
- Don't get into an altercation with the other driver, no matter how certain you are that he or she was at fault. Don't discuss who is at fault.
Gather as much information as you can
- Exchange key information with the other driver, including name, automobile owner's name, car registration, insurance company, insurance policy number, and driver's license number. If you are hesitant about safety, don't give your address or phone number to anyone but the police.
- Write down the license plate number and state of any other vehicles involved in the accident. You'll also want a description of the car, including color, make, and model. Note the current condition of the other car and whether it appears to have past damage unrelated to this accident.
- If passengers or other individuals were involved, get their names and find out how to contact them.
- If possible, get the names, addresses, and/or phone numbers of witnesses to the accident. Get the name and town of the police officer responding, as well.
- It's a good idea to keep a one-time-use camera in your car to take photographs of all damage.
Take simple legal precautions
- Call the police right away and ask for medical assistance if necessary. Police should always be called to the scene of a serious accident or if property damage is significant or a traffic violation is involved (e.g., running a stop sign). Call the police right away if you believe the other driver is intoxicated.
- Don't leave the scene until the police arrive.
- Don't discuss the accident at the scene with anyone except the police, not even the other driver. In addition, don't admit responsibility for the accident because there may be legal repercussions. Just discuss the facts.
- Immediately write down your recollection of the accident, noting time, weather conditions, road conditions, positions of vehicles, and so on.
- Don't take any money for settlement of a claim at the accident scene. Later on, if you don't want to involve your insurance company, you can always negotiate a settlement with the other driver. If you do so, have him or her sign a letter releasing you from further liability.
Notify the following agencies
- Call your insurance company as soon as possible after the accident. Your policy probably includes a clause stating that your insurance company should be promptly notified, and your state may have a law that limits the amount of time you have to notify your insurance company.
- If you have a car loan, make sure that your insurance company has notified the lienholder. If your vehicle is declared a total loss, it's likely that the insurance company will issue a check to the lienholder, not to you.
- Some states have laws requiring that individuals involved in an accident resulting in injury or property damage report it to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Check with the police, the DMV, or your insurance company to find out if your state or the state in which the accident occurred has such a requirement.

I needed to edit the script to match that of the .iso file name (bt4.iso). In the script it refers to the prefinal iso name (btisoname=bt4-pre-final.iso). I changed bt4-pre-final.iso to bt4.iso and all went smoothly. Hopefully this helps someone.

sey gmv, pretty funky.
Thats what Im sayin!
Exactly what I said in the pm to him. I think he killed this one.
well i voted for mn... sey's letters are waaaay too mangled and mixed up for my taste. MN's simp may not be perfect nor extra clean or crisp. but I'd take it over sey's illegible piece any day.
just my personal opinion of course, no beef whatsoever, seywhat
Voted sey, but i see what phat is saying, although IMO sey still has more going on out of the two. and to mn my advice would be focus more on the letters first, then worry about colors and backgrounds, I mean no disrespect
None taken! It can only make me better at sketching.
MN nice cause it's just better...not overal clean but too many loops with Seywhat make my head spin in a bad way.

Tornados Rally Past RamsApril 9, 2013
Brevard, N.C.- Eric Renegar's two-run single in the bottom of the 8th inning capped BC's rally from a 3-0 deficit to start the game to give the Brevard College baseball team a 6-5 win over the Winston-Salem State Rams on Tuesday afternoon at Gil Coan Field.
The Rams took a 5-4 lead in the top of the 7th on a run-scoring double before Renegar's two-out single down the left field line scored Chris Christopoulos and Champ Stuart to give BC the lead.
Chas Welch came in to pitch for BC in the 9th, inducing a fly ball to right for the first out before walking back-to-back hitters. Righty Zach Huneycutt (S, 1) came in for the final two outs to earn his first save of the season.
Alex Litaker (W, 1-1) was the pitcher of record when the Tornados took the lead in the 8th, tossing 2.2 innings in relief of BC starter Nick Blackwood. Litaker allowed a run on two hits in the appearance.
Brevard tied the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the 5th on three straight RBI singles from Renegar, Cody Queen and John Slade.
The Rams took the lead right back in the 6th on a Paco Martin RBI double before the Tornados again tied the game, this time at 4-4 on an Aaron Goforth RBI single in the bottom of the 6th.
The Tornados continue their five-game home stand as they host the North Greenville Crusaders on Wednesday afternoon at Gil Coan Field at 3 p.m.

I'd happily fight him, genuinely despise people like him and what they do to the reputation of our sport and i think honestly piss on the hard work of proper fighters who don't spend their time making staged promo-sparring videos to make themselves look better than they are, constantly walk around in full mma apparel of gyms they've been kicked out of, spend time on the doors revelling in stories of being a 'cayge fyter', inventing fake mma-fight posters with themselves on, taking someone elses title belt and posing for pictures with it then putting them on facebook, then winning titles by default to again use to (undeservedly) brag on the net, not to mention inventing make believe records of fights conveniently in another country under an org which no longer exists.
he's a fraud.....and a fucking terrible fighter to boot. he's got two divisions on me but I'd quite happily batter him on his feet before picking him up and dropping his face through the canvas.

i think its more Mike ego getting in the way
i think its more Mike ego getting in the way
Andy Lillis, Former Cagewarriors President
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.
MMA Officials would just like to clarify the situation with Mike and the happennings on the day of this particular event.
We received the fightcard at midday on the day of the event. Mike Persil v Julio Calcina was published as an Amateur "A" class bout (with headshots). We immediately raised concerns with the promoter.
When we arrived at the venue we spoke with the promoter again, explaining again why we had the concerns, which were the safety of Mike himself, the reputation of the promoter, that of MMA Officials and most importantly that of the sport of MMA in this country, if the very likely outcome of Mike being seriously injured occurred.
We explained that we did not want Mike to fight at all due to this and that MMA Officials would not supply an official to referee the fight under any circumstances.
This was explained to the promoter, Mike himself and also his opponent Julio. All three decided amongst themselves, that the fight would take place anyway, but under "C" class, no headshot rules.
The promoter used a referee who was a Thai fighter with experience in refereeing Thai.
As most of you are probably aware, Mike was due to be on Made4theCage tomorrow. We contacted the promoter immediately when this was announced and again raised the same concerns. Thankfully, the promoter, on this occasion, has now pulled the fight from his card.
We hope that other promoters will take this stance as having Mike Persil on an event will only end badly.
MMA Officials are not on a "witch hunt" as regards Mike, or any other fighter, for that matter. We are here to assist in raising the standards of MMA in this country, not only in officiating, but also regarding the safety of the fighters, which is paramount to us. With the assistance of other respected people in the sport, who you are all aware of, this is our ultimate goal.
Our message to Mike, this is a serious and heartfelt message, please stop putting yourself in a position of risking permanent injury by volunteering to fight. It is not just yourself that you will damage by doing so, it is the growth and reputation of the sport of MMA that you are putting at risk. If you love the sport, as you say you do, then please stop now, while you still have your good health.

REFEREE with MMA Officials
Thanks for clarifying. From the video it looks like he was hit with headshots but his with Persil you can get any reaction from any shot. You can understand the thoughts when the MMA Officials log was so clear which seemed strange knowing the Made 4 the Cage decision.
I hope all promoters learn not to use him on shows, even in fights with no headshots, as in the video, he is dire. His reaction was probably an attempt to get a DQ win for an illegal headshot
Andy Lillis, Former Cagewarriors President
I don't get why he does it? he doesn't even try to fight! surely he isn't getting paid that much to do no headshots amateur?!
I can understand the likes of allen/thompson/welsh etc doing it, because they actually put up a fight and get paid pretty well for it too.
Mike, knock it on the head mate. Keep training, enjoy it and maybe do some grappling comps. You don't even look like you want to fight when you are in there, anyone who gets dropped with a punch to the arm should not be fighting. End of.
Fighting isn't for everyone, leave it alone before you get seriously hurt.
Just been having a watch of some of the fights on youtube, gotta say I'm cringing more at the celebrations of the fighters after beating him than Mikes fighting to be honest!
There's no point harping on about how bad Mike Persil's techniques (when he gets chance to try them) are; but the whole issue rather begs the question "Why on Earth would any serious promoter book a fighter who bills himself as 'an independent fighter' but who has no discernible history in the sport?"
Any half decent coach would have picked up the flaws in Mike's game and refused to enter him in competitions at this level. if there's no regular coach to speak to about his ability, why book him?
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!

Move over, Arnie: The five best Jason Statham movies
Published Jan. 23, 2013
If the measly box office totals for Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" are to be trusted, the Austrian superstar's comeback may have ended before it even started. Who is there to retain the title of America's favorite action star, blowing up stuff and dropping one-liners in the name of justice and entertainment? Jason Statham, that's who.

Billband to Play Concert at (Le) Poisson Rouge Tonight
Composer Bill Ryan is known to many as The Force behind The Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble, the student group that gained widespread praise for recordings of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians (2007) and Terry Riley's In C with remixes (2009). With Towards Daybreak, the sophomore release from Ryan's ensemble Billband, the focus returns to his own work. Towards Daybreak came out Tuesday, January 29 on Innova. The music - by turns contemplative, roiling, elegaic, and aggressive - reflects experiences in Ryan's life, from the birth of a child to the loss of his parents.
In its latest incarnation, Billband includes cellist Ashley Bathgate, pianist Vicky Chow, and percussionist David Cossin of the Bang on a Can All-Stars; violinist Todd Reynolds (Outerborough); bass clarinetist Michael Lowenstern; and cellist Pablo Mahave-Veglia and saxophonist Jonathon Nichol from GVSU. Cellist Paul de Jong (formerly of The Books) appears as a special guest.
Bill Ryan and Billband celebrate the release of Toward Daybreak with a show at Le Poisson Rouge tonight, February 10, 7:30 pm (doors at 6:30). Tickets are available at www.lepoissonrouge.com. For this show, Billband will expand to an octet with the addition of Doug Perkins on percussion.
Ryan's post-minimalist musical language is personal and expressive, poised on a knife edge between lushness and reticence. This is a music that reveals itself gradually, working its way deeper with each listen.
His previous record with Billband, Blurred, was released in 2004; Gramophone called it "gritty and funky." Says Ryan, "A lot has happened in my life [since then] - another beautiful child, relocating to the Midwest. New friends, strengthening connections with old ones. Teaching my son to drive, teaching my daughters to play. Watching my students become young adults while my own teachers begin to retire. All of these experiences impact my music, but none greater than the sudden loss of my parents - my mother in an automobile accident, my father from cancer. While I was initially paralyzed by these losses, life did continue, and eventually, the music did too. This CD comes out of these experiences - it is about loss, it is about grieving, it is about carrying on. It is also a celebration, an appreciation, and a thank you."
Towards Daybreak is bookended by a pair of elegies. It opens with Simple Lines, in memory of Ryan's father, and ends with a live version of Blurred, written after the passing of his mother. The ravishing Simple Lines, played by Bathgate on multi-tracked cellos, is built on lengthening, wave-like figures that are simultaneously yearning and consoling. Blurred captures the brittleness of grief with a pinging, raindrop-like piano figure and frail harmonics, deepening into insistent, obsessive chords.
Throughout the disc, Ryan compels attention through the cunning opposition of elements: hesitancy and forward motion in Toward Daybreak; somber tonalities and playful rhythms in Rapid Assembly; turbulence and control in Solitude in Transit and Friction. As a whole, Towards Daybreak blends the precision and craft of the best minimalism with the humanistic interplay of a small chamber group. Grammy-winner Silas Brown engineered and co-produced the album with Ryan, and the attention to sonic detail shines through. The strings are rich and woody, the percussion viscerally captured, the winds vividly present. The tracks are:

Best Of :: Food & Drink
When three diners order different fish entrées, each of which come out perfectly executed, you'd expect to be sitting in a seafood-only specialty spot. The Winery actually has as much red meat on the menu as fish and shellfish, but the kitchen sources amazing seafood and executes each dish with masterful skill. The seared Mediterranean branzino, for instance, is a skin-on filet of sea bass with a crisp, lightly charred skin that balances the texture of that fish's rich flesh. Its juices meld with a pinot noir reduction sauce, house-made fettucine and roasted vegetables. The Winery's principals received their fine-dining pedigrees from Morton's and the Ritz-Carlton, so unsurprisingly, it's an expense-account type of place, with a wine-driven menu staffed by diligently trained professional servers. What is surprising, though, is the elegantly designed room looks like it belongs in Newport Coast, not a Tustin mega-mall. $$$$
If your own-of-town guests are keen on experiencing quintessential Orange County, take them to the Beachcomber. Here, they'll marvel at a prototypical OC scene: brunching trophy wives toasting one another on snatching deep-pocketed sugar daddies. Oh, the view of the beach is nice, too; reservations for the summer season are booked fast. What surrounds the beachside shack eatery is a post card come to life. The food is hardly the point. But if it is true that a hot dog eaten at the Grand Canyon tastes as good as a steak, the same concept applies here. The sunsets, the idyllic beach huts and the crashing surf cresting on sand just steps from the entrance are seasonings more essential than salt. $$
Dropped daintily on Pacific Coast Highway above Newport Bay is SOL Cocina, an elegant establishment dedicated to bringing the flavors of Baja to Orange County. But this is cuisine with a conscience. The environmentally friendly menu boasts low-fat, healthy items, and almost everything is gluten-free. The chefs use only sustainable fish and humanely raised beef and pork—and many dishes can be made vegetarian or even vegan. Try one of their exquisitely crafted margaritas (we love the cucumber jalapeño), any of about a dozen different salsas and definitely the taco vampiro. Snag a seat at one of the copper tables on the patio for a luxurious view of the boats, docks and houses you'll never afford. We recommend going at sunset, when the water turns as gold as the tequila in your glass. $$$
What haven't we said about Dave Emery that hasn't already been said? The man is an all-around crazy person—and we mean that with the utmost respect. He insists on making everything he serves at Sol Del Sur Bistro from scratch and doing it all himself, with no assistance from a sous chef or even a dishwasher. All evidence suggests he is self-taught and loves to cook just as most people like to breathe. He has working knowledge of Italian, Japanese, French and Spanish cuisines, gleaned from his travels and bolstered by the undying curiosity of a child. The menu he attempts is formidable and frenetic. When the small room he calls a restaurant is even half-full, he can be easily overwhelmed with orders. He creates a list of a dozen or so appetizers, traipsing borders and using uncommon ingredients, such as crosnes, aji amarillo and uni. His entrées are bold, complex and, at times, beguiling. As of this writing, he is serving grilled strawberries with lamb shanks braised in lavender and honey; by the time you read this, though, that dish will be history. Emery is never satisfied: He thinks of new ways to challenge himself and his customers; and he's been known to introduce a new dish one night and jettison it the next. Don't even try to convince him to edit his menu down or ask him to be less ambitious. We like our mad scientist just the way he is. $$$
Former Haven Gastropub partner Jeff Hall throws down the gauntlet with Chapter One, a challenge to not only his former colleagues, but also his neighbors at Santa Ana's burgeoning restaurant scene. The bar pours old-man drinks with equal jiggers of expertise and knowledge of the mixological arts. It's also up-to-date on the local beers. Meanwhile, chef Oge Dalken, a culinary raconteur in a city full of them, brings humor and lightness to dishes that are as fun to eat as they are to order. A beef culotte inspires other chefs to do better with bacon-wrapped steaks. And for a dessert called "Milk & Cereal," the breakfast food of our youths is deconstructed and reinterpreted: Panna cotta becomes the milk, and crispy Greek kataifi plays cereal. You have to order it to get the joke and realize that the culinary punch line is as delicious as the setup. $$
Old Vine is no stranger to these pages, having won Best Restaurant in 2009—and it has broadened its ambitions since then, hosting wine nights and even leading culinary tours of Italy. But the attention of brothers Mark and Brandon McDonald to the homefront hasn't suffered: You still see Brandon every morning through night, guiding customers old and new through the menu, maybe suggesting an omelet or the seasonal four-course chef's menu, and with a memory of the café's hundreds of wines that borders on That's Incredible! territory. Mark is almost as present on the floor, even though he's manning the kitchen, trading jokes with customers and making sure their experiences are always spectacular.
