So they say in the video that the manufacturer asked them not to power up the device? Lead me to believe totally fake or as someone above said just a shell mock up. Plus what kind of manufacturer would give someone a new unannounced device knowing there going to shoot a video of the device. Totally makes no sense!
Yeah who knows. If I'm a business and told me not to power it on. I'm gonna power it on lol. Off camera or not. Who knows Tim cook is in charge and making changes. No one knew about the Mac refresh line and Tim blew me away with that. I believe he will amaze us this time. Have they ever let us down? Don't matter what it looks like I'm a sheep and will still buy it because I love the user friendly UI interface and the fact its a great product overall.
Really, apple? Really?! I hope this is as fake and phoney as it seems because that would just be incredibly lazy, man. So far not impressed.
copied from the comments on this video, making sense for me! make sure to look at the back of your device the last thing is IC and not ID which makes it obviously fake
reasons I Think its fake
1. iPhone font is wrong
2. the writing under iPhone previous iPhones say "model" and not "model NO"
3. the writing under iPhone previous models have a ":" after "ID" and not just "."
4. the writing under iPhone previous models have a format of MODEL ID IC this has MODEL ID ID
5. the writing under iPhone has inconsistent spacing compared to previous iPhones
6. the mute switch does not have the orange strip indicating mute
but this is just an OPINION, can be very wrong

Seems like Apple is really sticking with the ugly two tone back...If I get this phone I will change the back for sure and I'm sure it will not come at a small cost either. Might skip this phone altogether.
Hopefully there are some people here who remember last years mock up and realize this is all here-say
I still can't view the link through here.

Lenovo Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2006/07 Results
HONG KONG, May 23, 2007
– Lenovo Group today reported results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full year ended March 31, 2007. Consolidated revenue for the quarter rose 9 percent year over year to US$3.4 billion, driven by stronger performance in all geographies and product segments.
During the fourth quarter, Lenovo's worldwide PC shipments grew more than 17%, well ahead of the industry average of approximately 11 percent. Including the impact of restructuring, Lenovo reported pre-tax income of US$66 million and basic earnings per share of 0.70 US cents, or 5.46 HK cents. The Company's gross profit margin for the fourth quarter reached 15.2 percent, a record for a quarter that reflected the full impact of the acquired business. Net cash reserves as of March 31, 2007, totaled US$946 million. Lenovo's board of directors has proposed a final dividend of 2.80 HK cents, or 0.36 US cents per share.
"It was a solid quarter and strong fiscal year by any number of measures," said Lenovo's chairman, Yang Yuanqing. "Our performance confirms we have not only stabilized our business worldwide, but also that our focus on transactional business and emerging markets is beginning to reap very positive results. Lenovo posted gains in market share, revenue and profit in both the notebook and desktop segments as well as in all of our operating geographies, with the Americas business returning to profitability."
"We have significantly improved our business performance, and now we must build on our momentum and strive to grow faster and more profitably than the industry by providing the best-engineered PCs available on the market today," said William J. Amelio, president and chief executive officer. "Our recently implemented strategic measures – to implement a transaction model globally, improve our supply chain efficiency, enhance our desktop competitiveness, and build the Lenovo brand – will move us swiftly toward closing the efficiency gap between Lenovo and our competitors. We will continue to combine cost competitiveness and efficient delivery capabilities with innovative products to drive increased market share."
For the 2006/07 fiscal year, consolidated revenue increased 10 percent year over year to US$14.6 billion. Lenovo's PC shipments grew 12 percent year over year, ahead of the industry average of 10 percent. In the same period, pre-tax income (excluding restructuring) grew 29% to US$200 million. The Company's full-year gross profit margin reached an annual record 14.0%.
Reflecting the impact of restructuring, Lenovo reported full-year profit attributable to shareholders of US$161 million and basic earnings per share for the 2006/07 fiscal year of 1.87 US cents (or 14.61 HK cents) versus 0.25 US cents (or 1.95 HK cents) for the 2005/06 fiscal year.

Celeb Trend Alert: Retro Chic
Mad Men and Ladies Who Lunch silhouettes are seen on the stars.
-Heather Campbell-Green
Mad Men are taking over the fashion world! Okay, not really but the hit show, but it's the 50s and early 60s style fashion eye candy that'se creating a trend title wave of epic proportions.
So long, for now, to Carrie, Sam, Miranda and Charlotte….hello Betty, Joan and Peggy!
It was really noticeable in the Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 runway show where he channeled Mad Men and everything feminine, flirty and lady-like. Modern Family's Sofia Vergara wore one of Marc's fall dresses to an event in Hollywood recently. The perfectly polished full skirts, kitten heels, pearls and stoles exude an effortless glamour. Vintage stores are being flooded by clients searching for 50's and '60s styles, and mention "Mad Men" by name.
This trend has been on fashion designer radars for some time, we've seen hints of this look almost every season. Magazines often showcase Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn's classic style look in their pages no matter the year, or season. The key to pulling off this elegant and classic style is the silhouette.
Read Celeb Trend Alert: Military Chic
To incorporate this look, find soft full skirts that hits below the knee, pastels, and the classic evening white cardigan. Whenever possible emphasize your curves and waist. Great stores to check out for "Mad Men" style are J Crew, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein and of course your neighborhood vintage clothing store!

Straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul—once known as Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine and then the Ottoman Empire—has for centuries been a bustling and cosmopolitan crossroads. But what's more striking than the meeting of East and West is the juxtaposition of the old and the new, tradition and modernity. Brash concrete-and-glass hotels and office towers creep up behind historic old palaces, women in jeans or elegant designer outfits pass others wearing long skirts and head coverings, donkey-drawn carts vie with battered old Fiats and shiny BMWs for dominance of the noisy, narrow streets, and the Grand Bazaar competes with Western-style boutiques and shopping malls. At dawn, when the muezzin's call to prayer rebounds from ancient minarets, there are inevitably a few hearty revelers still making their way home from nightclubs and bars while other residents kneel on their prayer rugs facing Mecca. What a wonderful city of contrasts that manage to coexist.

Luke Bryan to play 2nd NYC date
Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Luke Bryan is seeing a big interest in tickets to his upcoming New York City concert.
The country star's January 25th date at Madison Square Garden went on sale Friday, and sold out within five minutes. In response to the demand, the singer will be making a return trip to the Garden later in the year.
He's added a New York City stop to his summer run of dates, and will return to the famed venue on September 12th. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, November 16th.
Bryan will launch his "That's My Kind of Night Tour" in Columbus, Ohio on January 16th.
Aside from the Madison Square Garden show, Luke has only announced dates for the first leg of the trek, which continues through an appearance in Bossier City, Louisiana on March 8th.

Fast forward quite a few years, and now I like this on Mahi Mahi, which is the fish shown in these photos. Do I dare say that this is a good marinade if you're cooking for people who are suspicious about fish? It's true that the flavors of the marinade make grilled fish a bit less "fishy" so if that's something that appeals to you, this may become your favorite way to cook fish on the grill.
Kalyn's Used to Be Famous Lake Powell Fish Marinade
(Makes enough marinade for 4-6 pieces of fish; this marinade is good for Soy Grilled Shark, Halibut, Mahi-Mahi, Swordfish or other types of mild white fish.)
4-6 pieces of fish, thawed if frozen
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup peanut oil or other oil of your choice
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp. Liquid Smoke (measure carefully and don't use more)
1 tsp. Johnny's Seafood Seasoning or Bon Appetit
(You could substitute any seasoning that's good on fish.)
1/2 - 1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 T onion powder (or 2 T grated fresh onion)
1 T garlic puree or garlic powder
Then rotate fish going at the opposite angle to make the criss-cross marks and cook about 2-3 more minutes. When you have nice grill marks, turn the fish carefully and cook 4-5 minutes on the other side. Total cooking time for fish is about 10 minutes per inch of thickness and fish should feel firm but not hard to the touch when it's done.
(The Liquid Smoke used in this recipe is VERY potent, so don't be tempted to increase the amount. If you use too much it will ruin whatever you are putting it in, but in small amounts, it adds a nice smoky flavor for barbecue sauce or grilled meats.)

'Prior to the ratification of the new CBA, much of the Sabres drafting of the past seven or eight years had been dictated by the bottom line. Many of their top selections came from the college or European ranks, which virtually ensured that the player would not have to be signed to a contract as quickly as would a player from the junior ranks. While there may still be some of that past strategy in the Sabres approach to their first round selections in the post-CBA world, the more even financial landscape should allow Darcy Regier and the Sabres scouting department to focus more fully on all prospects available.'

Breastfeeding Aids Babies' Brain Development
Has anyone seen the reports about the recent MRI study which looked at how breastfeeding effects babies' brain development? It's excellent news for breastfeeding mums! The study has found that babies who are exclusively breastfed in the first three months of life have significantly increased brain activity (and associated development) in the areas of the brain which deal with language, emotional function and cognition. Those babies who were mixed fed (i.e. breastfed alongside formula feeding) had significantly increased development in these brain areas at 2 years of age compared to babies who were purely formula fed.
The researcher is quoted as saying I think I would argue that combined with all the other evidence, it seems like breastfeeding is absolutely beneficial.
6th July 2013 05:45 AM #2
Hi Laura-Jane - I did see this and it is amazing the differences found. This is is just adding the to knowledge we now have about breastmilk. I was reading the other day that they have just found that breastmilk contains stem cells. They don't yet know the roll of these stem cells but it just shows the importance of breastmilk
6th July 2013 02:09 PM #3
Stem cells in breastmilk - that's interesting, I didn't know that. I have read about stem cells in the umbilical cord and how this can be used to treat blood diseases so I wonder if stem cells in breastmilk could one day be used in a similar way?
I wonder if we should be preserving a small quantity of our breastmilk for if future scientific developments show it could be beneficial in ways we don't yet know.
This also makes me think about whether we should preserve more umbilical cord blood (with the umbilical cord stem cells) and if we, as parents, should maintain ownership of at least some of this.
I don't know any of the answers to these questions but I do find it fascinating to consider the incredible properties of both breastmilk and umbilical cord blood - and I am sure there is much we do not yet know about the potential of these natural products of being a mum.
Best wishes,

Every mother should breastfeed their children for over all growth of their children.
19th October 2013 05:14 AM #5
I read this quote when I was struggling with breastfeeding my first son:
'While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby' (Amy Spangler)
At the time, it wasn't something that I wanted to read because I was struggling so much. However, it is something I am pleased to read as it spurred me on to carry on (through the very difficult early times breastfeeding with an undiagnosed tongue tied baby) and to go onto 2.5 years of unmatchable breastfeeding bonding.
I'm very grateful for clear breastfeeding information as well as sound scientific studies into breastfeeding.

With Israel's largest storm in 20 years bringing snow and freezing temperatures to Jerusalem and mountains in the north and center of Israel on Wednesday night, authorities closed part of Route 1, the main highway connecting Tel Aviv and the capital, for a short time due to ice that had accumulated in a mountain pass.
Route 443, which links the Gush Dan region with Jerusalem via Modiin, was temporarily shut down in both directions shortly after midnight, from the Maccabim-Reut junction to Mahane Ofer. The road was reopened at approximately 3 A.M. local time.
After days of breathless anticipation, snow began to fall in earnest in Jerusalem and the surrounding hills Wednesday night, coating cars and roads with a thin dusting of white.
For a while, traffic police closed Route 1 from Latrun to Sha'ar HaGai, the first major ascent into the Jerusalem Hills, in both directions, because of ice that had coated the road surface. Drivers were rerouted to alternative routes.
Ice also formed on Route 6 near the southern town of Kiryat Gat, and drivers were advised to reduce their speed and maintain caution.
School was called off for Thursday in the Golan Heights and elevated settlements in the West Bank. The Jerusalem municipality said it would make assessments early in the morning and decide whether school would take place in the city.
Elsewhere around the country, there was heavy flooding and widespread power outages.
North of the city, in the settlement of Psagot, Daniel Granovsky reported that snow already stood several centimeters high on the ground and covered the road leading to his trailer.
West of Jerusalem, in the quiet village of Givat Ye'arim, Laary Cemel reported a "wee snowfall" on the hilltop that barely managed to dust the car roofs.
After almost a week of inclement weather, snow was expected to fall throughout the night and into Thursday in Jerusalem and other hilly regions. The weekend is predicted to be sunny but chilly.
The Sea of Galilee, Israel's main source of freshwater, rose six centimeters (2.4 inches) on Wednesday, and 60 centimeters (2 feet) since the storm began on Friday, Israel's Water Authority said.

Get your travel planner out for our forty-sixth flight over the Bible from 30,000 Feet. On this flight, Pastor Skip will take us on a tour through the book of John, written by the Apostle John from Ephesus between A.D. 80-90. The spiritual depth of this book and its presentation of the incarnation through the God-man Jesus Christ sets it apart from the other gospels.
The Gospel According to John was written by the Apostle John from Ephesus between A.D. 80-90. It is the most spiritual of all the Gospels, and fully one third of its content is dedicated to the last week of Jesus' life. The spiritual depth of this work sets it apart from the other gospels and its presentation of the incarnation through the God-man Jesus Christ.
The Roman Empire is ruled by Caesar Augustus
c. 5 B.C.
Birth of John the Baptist
c. 5 B.C.
Birth of Jesus Christ
c. 30 A.D.
Crucifixion of Jesus Christ
c. 80-90 A.D.
From Ephesus, John writes his gospel
John 20:31 states the purpose of the Gospel According to John, "But these things have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, by believing, you might have life in His name." John presents Jesus claim to deity through seven miraculous signs that lead up to the Resurrection and seven "I AM" statements which the hearers would have understood as Jesus claim to equality with God. John sets forth the miracles of Jesus as proof of His messiahship and not solely as acts of mercy. John uses many colorful terms to describe Jesus as the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, The Good Shepherd, the Truth, the Way, the Life, and the Vine.
Bethany A small town on the east slope of the Mount of Olives that was home to Lazarus, Martha and Mary
Bethsaida A city in Galilee on the northeast coast of the Sea of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee).
Galilee The northwest providence of Palestine. It was fifty by twenty-five miles in area. It was one of the places that was prominent in Christ's ministry.
Jerusalem Known as "David's City," it is the "holy city" for three great world religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The capital city of Israel.
River Jordan - It begins at Mount Hermon, flows through the Sea of Galilee to its end in the Dead Sea.
Jesus - the Word of God who came into the world, fully God and fully man.
John the Baptist - He was the forerunner of Jesus Christ. He was related to Jesus; their mothers were cousins. He was imprisoned by Herod Antipas and eventually beheaded.
The Disciples - Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James, Thaddeus, Simon, and Judas Iscariot. These men were chosen by Jesus to aid in His earthly ministry.
Mary - The sister of Lazarus who believed Jesus and anointed Him before His death.
Martha - The sister of Lazarus and Mary. She is known for her hospitality. Her faith in Jesus grew when He raised her brother from the dead.
Lazarus - Jesus friend whom He raised from the dead.
Pilate - Roman governor who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus.
Mary Magdalene - The first person to see Jesus after His resurrection.
John refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved."
Tradition states that during the persecution of Christians under Domitian, John was taken to Rome and thrown into boiling oil which had no power to hurt him. He survived miraculously.
John was exiled by Domitian to the isle of Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation.
John was the Theologian; Matthew was the teacher, Mark the storyteller, and Luke the Historian.
Over 90% of the content of the Gospel of John is original to his Gospel and not found in the Synoptic Gospels.

"It is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
This age-old attitude is at the heart of the drama in Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, which begins with the international best-seller, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
A confession: these are not the sort of books I usually read. I'm not fond of mysteries, and the phrase "international best-seller" usually puts my guard up. But after reading Lars Walker's reviews of two of the books at Brandywine Books, I became intrigued.
The books deal with the story of Lisbeth Salander, a socially awkward (to put it mildly) young woman with a history of trauma. Over the course of the three books, the reader discovers that not only has Lisbeth been harmed by the very people who were put in place to protect her, but that the Swedish government decided that she was expendable to protect a certain State secret.
Fortunately, Lisbeth is not as alone as she seems. Idealistic journalist Mikael Blomkvist, having met Lisbeth in the first book, determines to expose the evil that Lisbeth has suffered, no matter the cost. Blomkvist is joined in his crusade by the staff of his magazine, Millennium, as well as several others. Over the course of the books, the lines are drawn between those willing to expose the truth and those who want to cover it up.
This is why, I suspect, so much of the story is spent with characters in the police force and the world of journalism. While these occupations often find themselves at odds, they are both fundamentally dedicated to discovering the truth and revealing evil.
This aspect of the story is slow to build, taking a backseat to a dramatic missing-person story and a double murder in the first two books. But Larsson never lets the theme be lost or obscured: by the end of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, the reader can see plainly the horror of allowing a single innocent woman's rights be trampled in the name of expedience, or national security, or any other lofty-sounding goal.
The main sense of horror in the trilogy comes not from violence (though there is plenty of that), but from the slow realization that the organs of truth-telling, namely the police and the press, have utterly failed. In Salander's case, they have even colluded to keep her story under wraps, to discredit her as a witness to crimes, and to keep her under federal supervision. Lisbeth refuses to speak to psychiatrists and police officers, because when she did so as a child, she was locked away in an institution to keep her from revealing a scandal. For 15 years, no-one digs deeper into her story, assuming her to be mentally retarded and incapable of interaction. Lisbeth allows the world to continue thinking of her that way because it is the only way that she will simply be left alone.
The climactic moment of the story comes, not when the murders are finally solved, but when Lisbeth Salander's story is proven true in a public forum and all those who used her as a sacrifice on the altar of expediency are revealed.
There are problems with these books: the sexual morality, for instance, leaves much to be desired. But in the end, Larsson seems to want nothing more than to praise the costly telling of truth in the face of easy silence. And on that, we can agree.
(Note: there are sexual and violent situations in these books that may make them unsuitable for young readers. I don't recall thinking that any of the sex or violence was purely titillating, though that is a very subjective judgement. Even with that caveat, I highly recommend these books.)

LOS ANGELES - Five days after making his fifth major head coaching hire, Dan Guerrero received some job security of his own.
UCLA announced Thursday that it has extended Guerrero's contract through 2019, giving the much-scrutinized athletic director an additional six years and nine months on the job.
The Bruins have won 22 NCAA championships since Guerrero was appointed in 2002, guiding the program to what chancellor Gene Block said is a "national example of how intercollegiate athletics serve and further the mission of higher education."
The new contract is retroactive to April 1, and will replace the one that expired on March31. Per the new agreement, Guerrero will now be paid $734,774 with an annual 5 percent increase. He had a clause that would have rolled an additional five years on his term had there not been a new agreement.
His new term of appointment will end on Dec. 31, 2019.
Prior to the extension, Guerrero was already the highest-paid athletic director at a Pac-12 public school with $715,211 in guaranteed salary, according to USA Today.
UCLA said that no tuition or state funds were used in his compensation, which comes from athletic department revenues and private fundraising.
"Dan has excelled in both commonly accepted barometers of success in a role like his: fiscal management and athletic victories," Block said in a statement. "But the true story of his success also needs to include critical, if less noticed, factors like his efforts to advance women's opportunities in athletics and maintain high academic standards for student-athletes, and his rigorous work to keep UCLA programs in compliance with NCAA and other requirements."
In addition to his base salary, Guerrero can also receive up to $105,000 in supplemental compensation depending on academic and athletic benchmarks. He is also owed a $750,000 retention bonus as specified in his previous contract, and will earn another $734,000 should he remain at UCLA until April 1, 2018.
While the Bruins still lead the country by far with 108 national titles across all sports, Guerrero's guidance of the football and men's basketball programs has not been exceptional. He went through two ill-fated coaches in Karl Dorrell and Rick Neuheisel before landing Jim Mora, who debuted with a Pac-12 South title last season.
Guerrero's recent hire of New Mexico's Steve Alford to succeed 10-year men's basketball coach Ben Howland - whom he found to replace Steve Lavin in 2003 - was also received with mixed reviews. Although Alford won at least a share of the Mountain West Conference in four of the past five seasons, he has a 5-7 career record in the NCAA Tournament - including an embarrassing round-of-64 loss to No. 14-seeded Harvard last month.
The 48-year-old Alford has also been criticized for his staunch defense of star Iowa player Pierre Pierce in 2002. Pierce had been charged with sexual assault and was in the process of pleading to a lesser misdemeanor, but Alford staunchly argued for his innocence - earning a public reprimand from the county district attorney. Less than three years later, Alford dismissed Pierce after the guard faced similar charges that resulted in 11 months of imprisonment.
Despite agreeing to a 10-year extension with the Lobos, Alford signed a seven-year contract with the Bruins valued at $18.2 million.
Guerrero, who oversaw a $136 million renovation of Pauley Pavilion, is a 1974 UCLA alum who played second base for the Bruins' baseball team.
"Serving my alma mater is the honor of a lifetime, and I am committed to continuing to support our student-athletes and staff by implementing the vision set out by Chancellor Block," Guerrero said. "My sincere appreciation to the chancellor. Together, we will continue to do great things."

Annie from Willet, NY writes:
How do you get items to go directly into the "Recycle Bin" instead of being "permanently deleted?" I accidentally deleted family photos thinking they were going into recycle bin, only to finally read the statement "do you want to go permanent delete?" I tried looking at the recycle bin properties, but there are no options to put in the bin. I have Windows 8 OS.
It's possible that your photos deleted because your recycle bin got too full. Photos can be very large and take up a lot of room. Or, if you were deleting from another source that's not on your PC, (such as a network or memory card) the items would be permanently deleted instead of going into the recycle bin. If you clicked No when it asked if you wanted to permanently delete the images, they should still be there.
There is also an option on your recycle bin to permanently delete files instead of going to the recycle bin. Right-click on the recycle bin and select properties to make sure you haven't selected the option to skip the recycle bin and permanently delete files.
The best way to keep this from happening again is not to use your recycle bin as a hold folder for things you aren't sure you want to delete. That's a sure way to accidentally delete something important. I know a lot of people use the recycle bin as a hold bin, but I have seen it go way wrong too many times.
Making a "hold" folder is a simple as right-clicking on the desktop or inside a folder and choosing New. Name your folder something like "hold" or "photos for review" and put the items in there instead of the recycle bin. Then delete them and empty the recycle bin when you are absolutely sure you don't want them anymore.
Hope that helps.

Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit
Central Wyoming College is becoming known for its collection of outdoor abstract sculpture and visitors are invited to walk the campus to view the variety of art.
For visitors and community members, the CWC campus is becoming one of the "culturally interesting" stops in town," said art professor Nita Kehoe, who said the exhibit is open 24-7, 365 days a year. The CWC campus is located just west of Riverton, Wyo., on U.S. Highway 26.
Kehoe initiated "Outward Westward," a call for artists from around the world to submit "earthworks" or "collaborative pieces." Regularly, new sculptures are loaned and others are permanently installed into the CWC landscape.
Over the years, several of the sculptures have become ensconced into the CWC landscape. "Windows West," a series of windows constructed by Allyn Elkin on the expansive Circle Drive in front of campus, became part of the college's landscape in 2003, as has last year's sculpture "Five Ways of Looking."
Miami, Florida artist Tim Curtis installed "Wind River Circle," a piece that represents the need for unity among CWC's cultures.
Chris Fennell, an artist from Alabama, created "Tree Wave," a large sculpture that transformed logs and old lumber into a woven structure that will "dynamically move and respond" to the CWC campus.
Another permanent installation near the two new sculptures is "Carbon Cycle Inventory," a sculpture of trees that signal the reclamation of a balanced carbon cycle. In the middle of it is "Leaf Cathedral," a steel, cast iron, bronze and glass piece installed in 2004.
Permanent pieces, other sculptures on the CWC campus are installed on the campus for a period of a year.
Brochures are available in the Robert A. Peck Arts Center so that people can take a self-guided tour of the sculpture exhibit.

Proper Primary/Lower Cahin Tensioner for 11/95 M3?
Hi guys. I thought this should be fairly simple, but I haven't been able to find an answer by searching...
I have an 11/95 build date M3 with the S50 of course, and as I'm replacing my Vanos, I decided to replace the primary and secondary chain tensioners along with the chain guide.
BUT when I pull out my Primary Chain Tensioner, I realize this was installed in my 11/95 S50 M3: The one with the flat piston that is supposed to fit on the S52's.
11-31-7-838-675-M9 Chain Tensioner for Crankshaft to Exhaust Cam Chain (also use sealing washer 07-11-9-963-418-M131), M3 With 3.2L Engine (1996-99), Each, Brand: Genuine BMW
[More Info]
This is very confusing because I thought I ordered the CORRECT one below for my car: The one with the forked piston.
11-31-1-405-081-M40 Chain Tensioner for Crankshaft to Exhaust Cam Chain (also use sealing washer 07-11-9-963-418-M131), M3 With 3.0L Engine (1995), Each, Brand: Ina
[More Info] [Choose alternate brand]
I ordered this from drvanos.com...
Primary Tensioner
Newer style 2pc primary chain tensioner helps reduce chain noise on older models. Price: From $99.00
The only options were:
Forked Piston ('95 M3, 325 up to 8/94) $99
Flat Piston (96-'99 M3, 323, 325, 328, z3) $169
From their two options, I wasn't 1000% sure that their forked piston option included 95 M3's with build dates after 8/94 so I called and confirmed. So I ordered with confidence and now that I have both pistons in my hand, the flat piston that I pulled from my 11/95 M3 which is supposed to go on the S52's and not on the S50's, and the forked piston which is supposed to go on S50's...
Does this have anything to do with drvanos' description of the NEWER 2 piece Primary Chain Tensioner? Because the one I pulled from my S50 was the 3 piece one with the spring inside but with a flat piston...
SO my question is, Which one am I supposed to be using for my car?!?!?!
Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Redlands' 125th anniversary celebration has officially begun, and the Redlands Daily Facts is joining the other groups, businesses and residents doing something special for the occasion.
I have teamed up with Cheryl Williams, video production technician for the city, for a video project to document Redlands' history.
We identified people who either made Redlands what it is today or are experts on the community's past.
Since September, we have sat down with a different person weekly to hear them share their treasures. We will continue to do this throughout the quasquicentennial celebration.
Starting this Sunday, you will be able to view one video special a week on the Redlands Daily Facts website, and read a story about the interview in the Sunday print edition of the Facts.
This project is in keeping with the Facts' founder's statement that the paper was founded to document the town's history from its inception.
Williams and I feel this project is the most important thing we will have done in our lives. It will be our legacy.
The series will debut with Bill Hatfield's story on Page C2 and at www.redlandsdailyfacts.com.

Town of Newburgh resident Maj. Bruno Gaita, of the U.S. Air
Force, recently presented Mount Saint Mary College president Fr.
Kevin E. Mackin, OFM with an American flag that had been flown in
Gaita, who teaches business courses at the Mount, spent seven
months as a logistics squadron commander at Camp Bastion, located
in Afghanistan's southern Helmand Province. He gave an American
flag that flew over the camp to Fr. Mackin.
"I present it to the college as a small token of appreciation
for everything the school has done for me," Gaita said.
In addition to teaching on the campus and in the Mount's
accelerated degree program courses at West Point, Gaita obtained a
master's degree in business from the Mount in 2008.
Gaita has been stationed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in
Newburgh for the last 20 years and returned to the United States in
September 2012.
"It's good to be home. But it's a little cold outside," he said,
noting the Hudson Valley weather. He added that he is happy to
spend time with his wife, Heather, and his two children after
serving in Afghanistan.
This was not the first time a Mount adult education instructor
flew an American flag overseas for the college.
Senior Master Sgt. Mark Cozzupoli, of the New York Air National
Guard, who also teaches at the college, recently served on a combat
mission in Afghanistan and raised the red, white, and blue.
Cozzupoli, a 2007 Mount graduate, also teaches for the college
at West Point. He said that he was proud to be part of the Mount
Saint Mary College community.
Fr. Mackin is impressed with the qualities of these instructors.
"They serve the United States well, and they serve our students
well: especially those at West Point," he said.
Some Mount programs provide a flexible hybrid online and on-site
format, as well as accelerated tracks with evening and weekend
The Mount's graduate programs lead to the following degrees:
Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science in
Education (MSE), and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN).

In 1765, helvetius returned from Prussia, and retired to his estate at Vore.
helvetius says justly, that our errors arise from our passions.
He kept his promise, and then, after much entreaty, gave helvetius a pinch of the powder—about as much as a rape-seed.
On another occasion I defended helvetius' system of self-love.
The brightest luminaries of earth give names to the dusky spots in the selenography of helvetius.
The reasons of amity had become clear to me, and that helvetius was right.
It is the deadly seed of the century of helvetius, producing its poisons in the dregs of another century.
Diderot and helvetius arrayed the arguments which could be urged on both sides.
Self-love or interest, says helvetius, is the lever of all our mental activities.
Such is the celebrated history of Elias the artist and Dr. helvetius.

Yowza! 'Looper' Star Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 10 Snappiest Looks
'Looper' star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has become one of Hollywood's snappiest dressers. Here are 10 of our fave JGL looks!
-Lucia Peters
What would you do if you were an assassin who learned that your next target was none other than—yourself?
This is the question posed in the movie Looper, in cinemas next Friday, September 28. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, the film takes place in a futuristic world where "loopers" employ time travel to off their employers' enemies before they become threats in the first place. But when 25-year-old Joseph Simmons (JGL, natch) finds out that his next target is an older version of himself (Bruce Willis)… well, you can probably guess that whatever happens next, it ain't good.
Check out the trailer here:
Neat-o, right? As cool as it is, though, we'll admit it: It's a little wacky to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt all done up as Bruce Willis. But lest you worry that you'll forget what he actually looks like, have no fear: JGL is quite the snappy dresser, so we've rounded up 10 of his best looks from recent years, both onscreen and off. Get ready for some eye candy: Three-piece suits, tuxedos, police uniforms, and more ahead!
Also, be sure to catch JGL on Saturday Night Live this week!
Read Cate Blanchett's 12 Most Stylish Roles
1. '40s Flair
JGL donned a well-cut double-breasted suit with a striped tie and a red lapel pin to the August premier of high-octane bike messenger thriller Premium Rush. It's a better look than spandex, don't you think?
2. The Power of the Sweater Vest
Not everyone can pull off a sweater vest with such aplomb. I like to imagine that (500 Days) of Summer's hapless Tom Hansen is really just what happened when Nickelodeon's Doug grew up.
Up next: A devil-red suit and more!

text: At libraries and archives on the state level, you'll find birth, marriage and death records, plus state censuses, tax records, business records, county records, maps, family papers, and photographs and oral histories. Most state archives also have programs to microfilm newspapers dating back to the first issues published in the state.While they usually focus on their own states, many of these libraries and archives also have important holdings for other states. The Sutro branch of the California State Library, for example, and the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) house two of the nation's largest collections of genealogical books. WHS also boasts one of the largest collections of newspapers in the United States and extensive holdings of African-American and American Indian newspapers.Every state has at least one organization in charge of preserving its heritage. Sometimes, a state library houses books, while a separate state archive stores records and artifacts. Other states preserve all these resources in a single facility, often called a state historical society. In addition to official state-run archives, some states, especially in the East, have other repositories operated by private, nonprofit organizations.To take the best advantage of state libraries and archives, you'll want to visit in person. But even if you can't, you can still access many of these resources from a distance through interlibrary loan, the Internet and the library's reference services.Almost every state library and archives has a website packed with useful genealogical information. Some sites, such as the Library of Virginia and the Florida State Archives, feature searchable databases and document images—with just a few clicks, you might find an abstract of your ancestor's will or digitized pages from the family Bible. Before making a trip to the state capital, check the online library catalog for family histories, local histories and manuscripts. The site also may have a listing of newspaper holdings organized by county and town.Many state libraries and archives make microfilmed newspapers and some books available for a small fee via interlibrary loan. Read the lending policies on the facility's website, then print the references to items you want to borrow and request them at your local public library.Just like local public libraries, state libraries and archives offer a range of reference services. Staff may accept research requests by phone, mail or e-mail. Usually, there's no charge to answer a simple question, such as "Do you have Clay County court records from the 1880s?" But you may have to pay a fee to get an archivist to check indexes and make photocopies. Keep your question brief, and be sure to include a name, place and date, for example: "Can you check the index to the book Old Tioga Point and Early Athens by Louise Welles Murray for the name William Parry, and copy the pages where he's mentioned? He lived in Athens from 1822 until the 1850s." Some state library websites have a form for submitting research questions. If you need more-extensive research than staff can handle, they may have a list of area researchers for hire.Faced with budget cuts, many state libraries and archives are reducing their services and need your support. Let your elected officials know that you value these services and want them to continue. Of course, the best way to support state libraries is to use them.

May continues scorching June
New Britain righty tosses 7 2/3 shutout frames in victory
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | June 18, 2013 8:48 PM ET
Trevor May walked the first batter he faced on Tuesday on four straight pitches. It was one of a precious few mistakes he would make over the ensuing 7 2/3 innings.
The No. 7 Twins prospect recorded his longest start of the season, scattering four hits while striking out nine (one short of his season high) to lead New Britain in an 8-0 blanking of Erie.
"I felt like pretty much everything was working," May said. "I walked that first guy and then told myself I had to get the other stuff going, get a bit more confidence and things fell into place. I hit my spots, got ahead early and got a couple quick outs. Things just flowed from there."
May (6-3) has been steadily improving as the season has gone along. He now has a 1.80 ERA in 20 innings in June, after his ERA was 3.82 in 33 frames in May and 4.63 in 25 1/3 April innings.
With a 3.56 ERA overall and 76 strikeouts to 38 walks in 78 1/3 frames, he's shown a nice rebound after getting traded from Philadelphia to Minnesota for Ben Revere in the offseason and posting a 4.87 ERA in the Eastern League for Reading in 2012.
"You know when I was traded there were a little bit of mixed feelings, of course. But I think it's great to get traded 'cause you know the team wants you, is excited about you. It's all been positive from my side," he said. "I like where I'm at, happy with everything that's happened."
He added that his struggles from last season gave him a much better idea of how to succeed now.
"It's about battling when things aren't going your way, it's something you have to learn," he said. "Sometimes you gotta get beat up a little bit and I got beat up a little bit last year. You have to have an approach every outing that you think will play in the big leagues, 'cause they say if you can dominate at this level, you can pitch at the big league level. It's all about staying with a plan regardless of the results.
"That was something I didn't do well last year. I didn't have an approach a lot of times, I was just hoping the results would be good. So it's something I've developed this year, taking steps in the right direction. I've put so much time and so much effort into finding who I am as a pitcher, and it's starting to fall together."
The 2008 fourth-rounder added that having an approach with purpose mainly came down to having the confidence to execute it.
"I feel like I'm a power guy, but I don't have a 100-mph fastball. I work in the low-90s, run it to the mids. So something I've learned is how to establish the fastball while using other pitches. In the end, it's all about having confidence to throw anything you want when you need it for a strike," he said.
Rock Cats leadoff man Danny Santana went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored. Nate Hanson contributed a double and three RBIs and sixth-ranked Twins prospect Eddie Rosario reached safely three times and scored twice.

Woman goes berserk after being denied bond for allegedly stabbing her husband
(Becket Adams) A Miami woman accused of stabbing her husband with a Swiss Army knife broke down in screaming hysterics on Monday after being denied bond.
"Blanca Regalado faced Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat where he denied her bond after she admitted to stabbing her husband multiple times at their home,"WSVN.com reports.
Bound to a wheelchair because she claims her husband broke her leg, Regalado repeatedly screamed, "Please don't!" as bailiffs attempted to remove the panicked woman from the courtroom.
WSVN.com provides some details on the woman's case:
Late Friday night, police responded to 1800 N. Bayshore Dr. Apt. 4201 where they found Regalado's husband suffering from several stab wounds. Paramedics transported him to a local hospital where he remains listed in stable condition.
Authorities took Regalado into custody.
According to the arrest form, Regalado told police she stabbed her husband because he abused her, and he had a drinking problem. Miami-Dade Police Officer Freddie Cruz said, "She did make spontaneous statements to our officers that she is tired of him, so she stabbed him, and he is a drunk."

Post subject: Cass Lake/Migizi storm damage
The Cass Lake area took a direct hit with Monday nights storms. The entire Cass Lake area, including the Migizi bike trails have extensive damage from downed trees. The Migizi bicycle trail is still closed, while the feds work to clear the trees. Norway Beach Campground is closed until further nortice, due to storm damage. Pike Bay Campground is also closed at the present time.
I haven't had a chance to check on any caches yet, as they don't want gawkers in the area. Once the area is open for traffic, I'll check on the Migizi caches and report back to the cache owners.
In the meantime, avoid the area.
Thank you.

I believe the only bike trails that are closed, is the Migizi bike trail. The Migizi winds it's way around Pike Bay in the Cass Lake area. While the entire area had a lot of wind damage, the hardest hit was the Cass Lake/Pike Bay/Lake Winnie/Norway Beach areas.
All the other bike trails...Heartland Trail-Walker to Park Rapids; Paul Bunyan Trail-Walker to Bemidji and Walker to Brainerd are all open. I was just on the trail between Walker and Akeley yesterday, and all the trees have been removed, with just a few small loose twigs and leaves, here and there remaining.

I had a chance to drive around yesterday and look at some of the damage. What a mess. The US Forestry is out in force, patrolling the closed areas, to make sure everybody stays out. There are A LOT of trees that are either snapped in two, blown down entirely (roots and all), or are bent so far over, they'll come crashing down at any minute.
Pike Bay/Migizi bike trail - The main road is open, you can drive to the boat landing/picnic area, but the campground is closed. You can only drive to that area. The forestry road beyond the campground (the road that goes around the east side of Pike Bay) is closed. If you look into the woods, you can see A LOT of trees down. I didn't get a chance to ride the bike trails, however, just by looking down the bike trail from the road, you can see a lot of trees over the trail. My cache, Uffda's Bison Tube survived the storm okay. I was afraid it was floating in the middle of Pike Bay by now...but, it survived the storm!
I would advise to stay away from the Migizi area for the next few weeks, to allow the USFS to clean up the mess. It's no fun to be riding your bike down a trail and have a 50' tree come crashing down on top of you.
Norway Beach Campground - You can't even access the road to get to the campground, off Highway 2. The road is completely blocked off, with USFS trucks sitting at the entrance. I spoke to another cacher that tried approaching the campground by boat, and there are signs along the beach warning people to stay away, the campground is closed until further notice.
Scenic Highway (between Highway 2 and Blackduck) - Scenic Highway sustained a lot of downed trees, especially on the west side of the highway. Again, a lot of trees are either down completely, or are bent so far over, they'll have to be cut down. The road is passable, although some of the trees are very close to the highway.
Lake Winnie Campground (west side of Lake Winnie) - The campground is closed. A barricade blocks entrance and a USFS truck is patrolling the area to keep gawkers away. The main forestry roads are open, but smaller spurs are blocked by downed trees.
Basically, there are thousands of trees either uprooted, fallen, snapped or bent. The USFS wants people to stay away until they can properly clean up the mess. Even the bent trees pose a serious hazard, as they could come crashing down at a moments notice.

Grand Rapids took it hard with huge trees down all over town. I lost about 30 trees with the worst being the 84 foot ash that hit the cabin. Neighbor up the road lost over 100 trees, and there are some spots in the area that took it harder than that. I'm glad I built with logs rather than 2X4's. Only damage is to the roof.

This is the same type of thing that happened at lasalle rec area north of Itasca state park on Thursday the 5th. From what I could see ( I walked as far as the kiosk even though the area was closed). I would have to guess that 1/4 of the trees are down in the area. Looks like some were uprooted and others were broke off about halfway up. Lots of trees to clean up and I'm guessing it will take a couple of weeks to get the place safe for the public again.

They put that cache WHERE?

Two Thumbs Down at Fordham Law Panel on Zero Dark Thirty TortureJanuary 28, 2013
Waterboarding did not lead to the killing of Osama Bin laden, and anyone who believes that after watching the movie Zero Dark Thirty has been misled, a panel said on January 24.
"The Zero Dark Thirty Controversy: Torture, Art, and Politics," a discussion held in a capacity McNally Amphitheatre, was presented by the Center on National Security at Fordham Law.
Ali Soufan, a former FBI special agent who investigated and supervised highly sensitive and complex international terrorism cases, including those related to 9/11, admitted that he enjoyed watching Zero Dark Thirty, particularly the last 30 minutes.
|Ali Soufan and Karen Greenberg, Director of the Center on National Security. Photo by Dan Creighton
But he chafed at the notion that it is "based on first-hand accounts of actual events," as it states in the opening of the film.
He took umbrage that a composi te character in the movie named Ammar identifies Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti as bin Laden's personal courier after being waterboarded, thus setting in motion the events leading to bin Laden's discovery.
"The 'composite character' is actually a real person. This guy is Ammar al-Baluchi; he is currently in Guantanamo Bay. They say he's a nephew of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (who masterminded of the 9/11 attacks). He's a real person," Soufan said.
Soufan said Ammar al-Baluchi has never been waterboarded, and that Hassan Ghu, the real al-Qaeda operative who revealed al-Kuwaiti's identity in 2005 did so without the aid of "enhanced interrogation methods".
Therefore, movie director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal only told half the story, he said.
"The sacrifices of people who worked in other government agencies to get to the level where we were able to identify Osama bin Laden, al-Kuwaiti, and the network, were totally eliminated from the story. Those are the real heroes of how we get to Osama bin Laden," he said.
Jane Mayer, staff writer for the New Yorker and the author of The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals (Doubleday, 2008) lamented that the larger context of the fight against terrorism had been left out of Bigelow's movie, noting that plenty of employees in the FBI and the CIA resisted the temptation to break the law and resort to torture.
"There were many people whose conscience was stricken during this period, and [who] said 'That's beneath us. Not me, not now, not ever are we going to be doing that.'"
"The reason we have the rule of law in this country is not because we're wimps; it's because when you actually have laws and trials and a scientific approach to solving these issues rather than just hitting people over the head and dump[ing] buckets of water on them, you get the right results. "
Alex Gibney, whose 2007 film Taxi to the Dark Side won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, said he understood why the filmmakers chose to embrace the notion that when it came to avenging 9/11, no technique would be left off the table.
"It's obviously not tough to torture someone, beat someone, or waterboard someone who's utterly helpless and chained before you," he said.
"Yet somehow, through the power of imagery, it feels tough, and it feels smart, because it feels like revenge. It feels like, 'Yeah, we're kicking ass.' And yet, we're not. We're kicking ourselves.
"That's why I think there's a value in discussing films like Zero Dark Thirty, because the power of images is so strong in terms of stirring our emotions."
Soufan hammered home the point that torture does not work: Even after Khalid Shaikh Mohammad was waterboarded 183 times, he continued to insist that Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti was no one of significance.
"One of the best interrogations in the war on terror happened immediately after 9/11, when Osama bin Laden's personal bodyguard identified the hijackers as al-Qaida operatives and gave us significant information that was instrumental for planning the war in Afghanistan," he said.
"I did that interrogation with my partner. Maybe you'll b e shocked, but for the most important interrogation in the war on terror, we read the Miranda rights every time."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Sometimes you can't get to Havana -- or even Miami. Sometimes, this five-table, 8-month-old splinter of a café at the western end of the Southland Shopping Center is as far as you make it for a Cuban sandwich fix so satisfying you'll wonder why Mama isn't front-page news. Oh, there are lots of breakfast items (topping out at $4.50) and soups ($2 to $3) and croquettes ($1.50) and the usual Cuban-y things on the menu -- like you care. What you came for is what you'll pull up your barstool to the blue plastic malachite countertop for: ham pork and thinly sliced Swiss cheese and pickles and mustard, all between bread ironed flatter than Bubba's forehead, blending neatly to form a taste as unique as a kiss. The low-overhead prices are much more in line with those of Havana than South Beach (where a Cuban sandwich can run $9). Although you hear mostly Spanish among the customers, gringos are welcomed by the capable staff. Mira. That means you. Open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day but Sunday, Mama's packs 'em in at lunchtime, so drop by nearby Big Lots until the rush dies down. Either way, you're on to one of the real bargains in town.
Top Ten Reasons Why Primavera Is Better Than the Italian Restaurant You Go To:
10. You can't fool all of the people all of the time -- Primavera's been around since 1985.
9. Wait staff isn't snobby, nor is it informal to the point of saying things like "Fuhgeddaboudit!"
8. Roasted pepper antipasto comes spiked with curry.
7. Do the owners of your favorite place have cool names like Primavera's husband-wife team of Giacomo and Melody?
6. Innovative culinary combinations like zucchini-crusted rack of lamb with Marsala date sauce; grilled salmon with pink grapefruit and merlot; pasta with fagioli.
5. Romantic ambiance can lead to amorous payoff that makes pricey bill seem a bargain.
4. Extensive wine list reasonably priced.
3. Two words: homemade pasta.
2. Frank Sinatra once ate here.
1. Because we say so, and we're experts.
It's no secret that Louie Louie's pizzas win awards all over the place. Wouldn't it be clever to be come up with someplace new? But that would be like dumping your life partner because you lost ten pounds. The secret of the success of these pies, which don't even headline the menu of this Las Olas classic (now also located across Las Olas and on Delray's Atlantic Avenue), is the way the kitchen makes so much go such a long way. Served piping hot, the homemade mozzarella and tomato sauce blend with the extra virgin olive oil on the delicate margheritas and heartier Neapolitans so authentically that you feel like you'll get smacked in the back of the head if you talk with your mouth full. Not that this is our local version of dinner at the Goombahs. The vegetarian toppings and healthy pies and the grilled rosemary chicken pizzas take the selections into new territory with great style -- much like Garbo tackling laughter in Ninotchka. Perfection on a platter.
The Olive Garden doesn't serve tripe. That's OK, but it also doesn't offer fresh pork or beef braciole, chicken scarparielo with homemade sausage and mushrooms in lemon sauce, pignoli-crusted snapper over spinach, and more than 40 types of pasta dishes -- and that's not OK, which is one reason why those seeking moderately priced, robust Southern Italian food are far better off at Zuccarelli's. Another reason is that the meatballs aren't made en masse but rather in the caring hands of the Zuccarelli family -- papa Ralph, mama Frances, and daughter Olimpia -- and Chef Buddy Kratz. They also make the sausages, mozzarella cheese, pastas, breads, and desserts and have been doing so for 23 years, much to the gratitude of a fiercely loyal clientele -- most of whom the staff here knows by name. This rustically attractive restaurant puts out some outrageously delicious pizzas too, and there's hardly an item on the absurdly extensive menu that costs more than $20.
As you eat your way through this maniacal world, exposing the recesses of your mind, you might condemn the budded tongue as a forgetful little muscle. Not so. It is a passionate appendage that betrays our animal lust for the simple things in life, and once it's introduced to the unfathomably delicious slice ($1.75) at Times Square Pizza, your heretofore complicated life will revolve around the corner of Oakland Park Boulevard and Federal Highway. Gold-chained, strong, silent types slave at the ovens in this 8-year-old New York-style eatery, then deliver your slice right to your table. No frills. No chatter. Just slice. What's their secret? Is it the perfectly heated ovens or the high-quality Grande mozzarella cheese? Don't pluck the mystery; just obey the buds. Oh, by the way: It's a sweet spot to hit on your way home from the beach.
More than 300,000 South Floridians describe their primary ancestry as non-Hispanic Caribbean or West Indian. That's a good thing, because it means there are plenty of places to get really good West Indian food. Heck, you could throw a rock almost anywhere within Broward and Palm Beach counties and it would probably fly through the window of a Caribbean restaurant. Well, wind up, Dontrelle, and cast your stone toward Caribbean Choice Restaurant and Bakery in West Palm Beach. Owner Don Smith brings his island flavor from Jamaica via the Bronx and serves up Caribbean favorites such as beef patties, jerked chicken and pork, and roti. And if you're in the mood for fish, escovitched snapper and steamed kingfish are on the menu as well. Add pigeon peas and rice and you've got good times. Whether dining in for a quick sitdown meal or eating on the run, every wanga gut (big eater) this side of Kingston can get his or her fill.
