Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and everything else really is just the best. Adding the Steelers and Ravens in prime time made it a lot better. After your second (or third) Thanksgiving dinner you usually have no motivation to do anything and it is a little depressing. The Steelers and Ravens playing made it a lot more interesting and really gave me a reason to slug a few more beers and wind the night down the right way.
Unfortunately for the Steelers fans of the world the game did not end the way you would have liked it. Actually the whole game was pretty bad from the Steelers perspective. They were able to move the ball some in the first half but really never threatened to do anything. Then when the Steelers were in fringe field goal range this happened:
(via Kissing Suzy Kolber)
Yikes. That was about the whole Steelers first half drives in one gif. Just really embarrassing times. The defense wasn't much better as Ike Taylor had a night to forgot and the Steelers were torched in the secondary with little help from the pass rush. It is really amazing that the Steelers were only down 10-0 at the half.
The second half served a lot better for the Steelers as they scored touchdown on three of their four possessions and made the game very interesting at the end of the game, to the point where the Steelers were a two point conversion away from sending the game to overtime with only a minute left in the game.
The defense for the most part held their ground as the Ravens were forced to kick five field goals on the night and only found the back of the end zone once. Any of these other five times the Ravens score a touchdown instead of a field goal and we are probably talking about a route and not a two point game that almost went to overtime.
Jason Worilds was one of the best players on the field for either team last night. He's been given a lot of chances and hasn't been able to break through but last night he had 10 tackles (six solo) and had the only two sacks of the night for either team. Sure, he was working against Michael Oher (who is awful) but the fact still remains that he showed a flash of life with LaMarr Woodley out of the game. Lawrence Timmons also had a pretty outstanding game with eight tackles (five solo) so there were some things that went well for the defense.
The problem was that the Steelers gave up way too many big plays and way too many third down conversions to expect to not give up points. The Ravens finished the night 10-of-17 on third downs and at one point they were 8-for-10. Receivers were running wide open routes on third and longs and Flacco was able to scramble for a couple of first downs, one of them I think was like a 3rd and 13. That stuff just can't happen and a lot of those were converted to first downs. Just not good. The Ravens had five plays of 20 yards or more. One of them was a bomb to Torrey Smith on the Ravens first drive that set up a touchdown, one was a huge pass interference penalty on Taylor in the second half and another was a Jacoby Jones 73 yard kickoff return right after the Steelers scored a touchdown to cut the lead to 13-7 but that return set up an easy field goal shot.
Maybe the worst part of the night was the situation with Le'Veon Bell. The Steelers had the ball on a goal line situation and Bell got the carry with the Steelers down eight with about two minutes left to go. This is what happened:
(via Sports Grid)
That is some scary stuff. As I am sure all of you know that the touchdown didn't count because per the rules once the helmet comes off the play is dead. So even though Bell didn't touch the ground yet the play was dead and he wasn't in the end zone. Now, I don't really think I have as much of a problem with this as most do. I don't think when they made this rule they envisioned the situation that happened last night. Most times when a helmet comes off players are continuing to play. That is the intent of the rule and when you create rules you don't think about every possibility. Just not what happens. I do think that the rule will probably get tweaked to allow for the forward progress but this was just an unfortunate situation.
Bell was knocked out. I don't think that it was penalty either. Bell lowered his head and the defensive back went low for the hit (which they are basically taught to do). It was really ugly and the reaction from all the players on the field told you how serious it was. He was knocked unconscious and even Heath Miller was pushing away an NBC cameraman that came onto the field to get a closer look. I hope Bell is OK but he should not play next week. I don't give a shit what test he passes. That was not good.
Besides that Bell had a really nice night. It was night like last night that make you realize that he and guys like Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman, etc. are just out of a different cut. He rushed for 73 yards on 16 carries and caught seven passes for 63 yards and scored a touchdown where he made a pretty sick cut. I think he has got better every week and while the Steelers have had no luck with running backs since Willie Parker this seems to be something that should turn into a good running back.
Ben Roethlisberger was pretty good last night. He started off slow like the rest of the team but finished with 257 yards and two touchdowns while not turing the ball over. That is key. The only part of the game that somewhat worries me about him is that last night his yard per attempt average was 5.8 and that is ridiculously low. He has been consistently over 8.0 throughout his career and whether this is Todd Haley or Ben looking off receivers too quickly because of the little time he has the fact is that he isn't getting the ball down the field. With how good Antonio Brown and Jerricho Cotchery have been you would like to see them at least hit those intermediate routes but it just hasn't been working recently.
There might not be a more disappointing guy to me on the offensive unit than Emmanuel Sanders. This isn't because of the drop on the two point conversion either, that is just part of the overall big problem. Sanders has dropped an amazing amount of passes this season and a lot of them have been on third down and passes that could have been touchdowns or first downs. When the Patriots were toying with the idea of brining him on I was in favor of that since it's not like third receivers can't be found and for the fact that I didn't think Sanders was all that good/special. He was targeted 11 times last night and made six catches for 43 yards. He had a couple of huge drops and when I think of Sanders in the 2013 season the overwhelming memory I will have is the inconsistent play and the inability of him to be able to catch the football.
The offensive line was beat up in a big way. I have no idea what the line is going to look like as the Steelers finished the game with their #3 left tackle and their #3 center (when you include Maurkice Pouncey). I would have never said that Kelvin Beachum was going to be a key piece to the line but he has been playing some pretty damn good football. He shut down Terrell Suggs down and when Mike Adams had to come in and play Suggs was beating him like a rented mule. It was not good times. Fernando Velasco has played well at center for Pouncey but he was banged up at the end of the game too. The offensive line played another decent game as a whole as they didn't allow a sack but there comes a point where you can't overcome the injuries. I think we might be seeing this point if those two guys are out next week.
This was a big game with playoff implications and the Steelers failed the test. I have said it all year but this team isn't all that good but they still had a pretty decent shot going into this game of getting into the playoffs. Now they will probably have to win out to get in and while anything is possible I think this might have been as close to a "must-win" as you can get without it actually being a must-win.

There's an old saying in fight sports that goes something to the effect of: it's not the wins in your career that define you; it's the losses.
For former UFC heavyweight championJunior dos Santos, his dose of MMA reality came at the hands of Cain Velasquez at UFC 155 in December of last year. Since suffering his first defeat in the vaunted Octagon, dos Santos has had time to reflect on the stinging defeat to the Mexican-American bruiser, do some much needed soul searching, and refocus on his ultimate objective.

If he's gonna have any chance against Cain outside of landing that one ko punch he's gonna have to work on his cardio. Cain has an extremely high motor and never stops. He wore Junior out and beat his ass.

It could just be me, but I think the first step is not taking guys lightly. I swear he left his hands too low and didn't give Cain the respect he should have. After that first big shot from Cain it all went downhill

i think cain dominating junior for 5 rounds was a bigger statement than if he would have KO'd him out. i think cain has juniors number and i dont think junior will ever have the belt as long as cain is there. on another note, i hope hunt KO's junior, that shit would be awesome.

I have this terrible feeling that Junior is going to go for the takedowns and subs in this fight

How cool would it be if the two did a fusion dance in the octagon, and then Hunto Dos Santos called out Velasquez?

AMD Awarded US$12.6 Million in Supercomputing Grants from US Government
AMD has been granted US$ $12.6 million under the FastForward program. The program is a joint effort between the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Department of Energy to advance research of exascale computers that are a 1000 times faster than current supercomputers.
AMD will apportion US$9.6 million for processor research and save the remaining US$3 million for memory advancements. This cash infusion in the form of the government-back research fund bodes well for the company as it has recently slashed their second quarter sales outlook by 11 percent over the first quarter
This isn't the first time that AMD has worked with the US government on supercomputer projects. The Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US is powered by AMD Opteron 16-core CPUs. That system is currently under upgrading efforts and is known as the Titan that is similarly powered by AMD 16-core Opteron 6274 processors.

Elton John to perform at Nelson Mandelas 90th birthday concertMay 15th, 2008 - 4:22 pm ICT by admin
London, May 15 (ANI): Veteran singer Sir Elton John has been revealed as the surprise performer at the upcoming concert for Nelson Mandelas 90 th birthday.
The whole event is being set up by Mandela's 46664 campaign against Aids team, and one of the reasons John did not want his participation to be known, was because he did not want it to clash with his own Aids Foundation charity.
Elton is a British legend and we are thrilled to have him join an already exceptional line-up, The Sun quoted an insider as saying.
He didnt want to be mentioned on the press release or on any announcements as he wanted to be a total surprise.
He also doesnt want to his priorities to clash with his own Aids Foundation charity.
We dont know why hes being so silly as of course it wont. Elton will pop up on stage at some point during the day and sing a few songs. He will then duet with a younger artist.
This hasnt been confirmed yet however we believe it will be Duffy or Eminem.
Its going to be brilliant. Nelson has no idea Elton is going to be there, the insider added.
Those taking part in the concert at Hyde Park besides Sir Elton John are Amy Winehouse, Queen, Bono, Razorlight, Keane, Sugababes And Jamelia.
Princes William and Harry, ex-US president Bill Clinton and wife Hillary and Robert De Niro are all expected to be in the crowd.
Tickets start from 65 pounds and are available from Ticketmaster.com now. (ANI)

It comes from the notorious all-purpose far right minister, the Rev. Patrick Wooden of Raleigh's Upper Room Church of God in Christ. At a pastor's anti-marriage equality event today near the state Capitol Building, Wooden said the following according to this AP story [1]:
Seventy-eight percent of our children are born into homes where there are no dads. We have a disaster going on. In fact, if we encourage marriage, we won't need as many government handouts.
Thanks for that brilliant insight, Rev. Pat. I'll be sure to explain that to my LGBT friends who've adopted all kinds of unwanted children from troubled single moms and given them a chance at happy lives.

I love me some Kelly Clarkson! :biglove

I love me some Kelly Clarkson! :biglove
I thought they all did pretty well last night except for Olivia. I thought she was very off key for most of the song. Kelly was kind and said pitchy for most of the song and Jennifer mentioned it and then went on to say she sounded great. I thought it was very pitchy, but Robin sounded great. I usually don't care for him, but I thought he was spot on last night. I don't care for that song though. I do think they may get votes since many do like that song.
I'm still rooting for John. I do worry that he can connect with the viewers.
I wonder why John Legend's partner, doesn't try to look a little more youthful. She is young right? I think that if she got extensions and a new hair style she would look 10 years younger. I do wonder if she can get the votes looking so mature. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't think that's what they are going after. Her voice is great IMO.
I tried to vote about a dozen times by phone. Half of the time I got a message that said the deadline for my time zone had expired and I should go on line to vote. Well, I tried to call about one minute after the voting was opened! THe rest of the time, the message said, Thank you for voting for John. So, I really hope they didn't get the votes screwed up.
I think he did. J Rome is so frigging natural, he is almost too good .I do think John connected though. Do they just leave next week? I wonder if they rehearse all week. Then they go? I tried to find it on ABC, it doesn't sayQuote:
I'm still rooting for John. I do worry that he can connect with the viewers.
I loved the show and I agree about Olivia and why she is there. I happen to love the song "Need You Now" and she did it no favors. I agree about Bridget - John Legend's partner. She has a great voice, but for some reason I can't connect to her. Can't put my finger on it. I don't know if I am correct, but it seemed to me that John Legend puts himself first when performing and his partner second. You can correct me if I am wrong and it certainly wouldn't be the first time I was. I will give him the benefit of the doubt as the songs may require that. John Legend has surprised me as I have always loved his voice, but now that I am seeing a bit more of his personality I am not liking him as much. He reminds me a bit of Christina A on The Voice. He seems to nitpick a bit more. The opposite is true of Robin. I was not familiar with him at all and now I am really enjoying him.
Congratulations to Jennifer on her baby news. As always Jennifer and Kelly are tremendous and Kelly makes a great blond. I agree that J Rome was a little off at the very beginning, but it was more of I had a harder time hearing him. Jason was so good and I agree with whoever said he certainly isn't shy anymore. John G was really good. He has a beautiful voice. Bridget was good even if she is not my favorite. I took the other approach and did not vote last night, but waited until today and had no problem with the phone or online. I knew they were taking votes up until 11:59 p.m. PT tonight. If anyone should be eliminated first I would say it should be Olivia. I think Jordan should have stayed last week over her, and maybe Robin did do some talking to have her stay. I think John G and J Rome are safe. Both of them are standouts. All in all I truly enjoyed the show.
Jacee do you know how they let them go?? Do they just show up next week, and they tell them? then carry on with the show?

Sonny Gray to start for A's on Wednesday at Anaheim
Published 12:00 pm, Sunday, September 25, 2016
Sonny Gray will make on more start this season, getting the ball Wednesday at Anaheim against the Angels.
Manager Bob Melvin said Sunday morning that Gray will go one inning, possibly two, with Ross Detwiler coming in after him.
Gray has been out since early August with inflammation in his right elbow and forearm; he said Saturday that he doesn't need to pitch again this season for peace of mind, but because it's the next step in the rehab process and he's ready for it.
Gray, a 2015 All-Star, is having the roughest season of his career, with a 5-11 record and a 5.74 ERA.
Oakland's lineup in Sunday's season finale, with right-hander Colby Lewis pitching for Texas: Wendle 2B, Vogt DH, Healy 3B, Davis LF, Alonso 1B, Semien SS, Maxwell C, Eibner CF, Olson RF.
It's Olson's first start in the outfield with the A's, though he played there plenty at Triple-A Nashville this season, with 81 games in right and 49 at first base, which is his natural position.
Jharel Cotton is starting for the A's, read more about the promising rookie, obtained in the Josh Reddick-Rich Hill deal, here.

CHINO, California (Reuters) - On a recent Saturday morning, hundreds of sleepy children tumbled out of buses and into a dusty jail parking lot in southern California to pay a rare visit to their mothers in prison.
A hundred feet (Thirty meters) away, behind two tall barbed wire fences at the California Institute for Women, stood a cluster of women clad in blue cotton prison garb. They anxiously craned their necks and stood on tip-toes for a glimpse of their kids, some of whom had come to the prison roughly 90 minutes by bus from south central Los Angeles.

- EAT! – Pho Bo: A steaming bowl of beef noodle soup is a local Vietnamese specialty and a must-try dish! Best eaten in styrofoam bowl off the streets off Hanoi
- DRINK! – Bia Hoi: Grab a plastic stool and sit at a Bia-Hoi Junction with locals and fellow travellers whilst drinking Vietnam's most beloved draft beer. (At $0.50 / litre – why the hell not!)
- WEAR! – Red T-Shirt with a Yellow Star: Have you been to Vietnam? Get the T-shirt.
- BEWARE! – Crossing the road: Cars, trucks,motorbikes, bicycle rick-shaws, bicycles, street hawkers, pedestrians, it's certainly a challenge! Locate a gap, commit and then don't stop moving…
Welcome to Vietnam!
Misty mountains, magical karst landscapes, hectic buzzing cities, sweeping rugged coast lines, fishing villages, sandy beaches. The best thing about Vietnam is it's diversity. The shape of the country, being skinny means that it is a fantastic country to travel the length from North to South or South to North. Hop on an open bus which costs $15 for the whole length of the country or take the comfortable sleeper trains.
In Vietnam's cities, you'll find an energy and a pace of life that is electrifying and never boring. In the North you'll find Hanoi. Vietnam's capital, full of character and life. Wander around the ancient streets of Hanoi's Old Medieval Quarter, where each street is named after the trade that was first established there. Relax by Hoan Kiem Lake, sip sweet Vietnamese Coffee, sit at the famous Bia Hoi Junctions with the locals and soak up the atmosphere of one of Vietnam's most atmospheric cities. Down South, Ho Chi Minh City, (formerly Saigon) has a completely different feel than Hanoi. Distinctly more modern and sprawling, it's Vietnam's powerhouse and economic centre.
Northern Vietnam is a great area for backpackers to explore and one that's hard to beat on diversity. You could be trekking amongst hill tribe villages one week, wake-boarding by the beach the next. Hiking, kayaking, water-sports, rock-climbing, even scaling the heights of Vietnam's highest peak 'Fansipan;' for the intrepid traveller, the adventures to be had on land or at sea are never-ending!
Heading further down the coast to Central Vietnam, you'll find the ancient towns and UNESCO World Heritage Towns of Hue and Hoi An, must-stops for backpackers interested in architecture, history and art. For food lovers, they're also great places to try some delicious Vietnamese local specialities! And while you're in Hoi An, why not fill your rucksack with some brand new tailor-made clothes!
After all that history and culture, if you're beginning to get withdrawal symptoms for a beach, don't panic! Look no further than Vietnam's beach resort of Nha Trang. A long white stretch of sandy beach, accompanies by lively night-time bars will keep travellers coming back for more. Or you may prefer the quieter, more chilled out Mui Ne, famed as the wind-surfing capital of Vietnam, it's a great (and cheap) place to kick back for a few days.
Exciting, extremely diverse, at times exasperating, but never boring, Vietnam will shake up your senses and leave you with some fantastic and unforgettable travel moments!
5 Random Facts about Vietnam
1. Halong Bay in Northern Vietnam is a UNESCO World Heritage site where more than 3000 limestone karsts rise from the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Halong translates as the 'bay of descending dragons.'
2. There are over 20 million motorbikes in Vietnam, more than 3.5 million of which can be found on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, which averages at nearly one motorbike for every two persons.
3. In the old quarter of Vietnam's fascinating capital, Hanoi, the streets are named after the trade that once took place there. For example, Hang Dao Street, translates as 'Pink Street' as it once sold fabric, silk and dye in bright colours, like red and pink, whereas the connecting 'Hang Ngang Street' sold bluish fabrics, and is thus known as 'turquoise street.'
4. Vietnam boasts an impressive coast line of nearly 3,500 kilometres of rugged sandy beaches and sheer cliffs that back onto National Park land in many areas. At its thinnest point, the country is only 31 kilometres wide.
5. Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu, the First Lady of South Vietnam from 1955 to 1963 was considered one of the most elegant women of the 20th Century, compared to Jackie Onassis, Eva Peron and Grace Kelly.

Crossover novelsEdit
I've noticed that there are several TNG and DS9 novels (such as A Time to... and Millennium that link here. Shouldn't Star Trek (Pocket) be the same as the Star Trek page and refer to Star Trek novels overall, rather than the Original Series?
Other novels that would fit this category would be Articles of the Federation as it features characters from TNG, DS9 and VOY. Tough Little Ship 16:19, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- The article has been disambiguated -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 17:57, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Content overlap Edit
There seems to be some overlap between this article and Star Trek (Pocket). Can this somehow be resolved by merging, splitting or otherwise better arranging the content? Also, interwiki links would then need to be checked. -- Cid Highwind 19:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing any overlap. Could you elaborate, Cid? -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Star Trek not Star Trek: The Original Series Edit
First of all most of these novels are titled Star Trek, not Star Trek: The Original Series (except for The Janus Gate and Errand of Vengeance miniseries. Secondly, the Shatnerverse series, Vulcan's Soul series and some others and clearly not TOS novels since they are set in the 24th century. – 188.8.131.52 01:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- On the latter point, even the 24th century novels still seem to be considered "TOS" novels when they follow primarily the TOS characters, such as Spock, Kirk, Uhura, McCoy, etc. --OuroborosCobra talk 01:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I think the numbered novels and unnumbered novels should be listed in the same section Edit
Take a look at how Wikipedia did it in their [1]page. I think it's a lot less messy than having numbered novels and unnumbered novels listed in separate sections. Does anyone agree? --NetSpiker (talk) 07:00, October 17, 2016 (UTC)
- We're not Wikipedia, and the numbered and unnumbered are separate lists due to their sources separate presentations. -- sulfur (talk) 10:18, October 17, 2016 (UTC)
What do you mean by separate presentations? --NetSpiker (talk) 11:07, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Obama gets personal V-22 Osprey tiltrotor
Plane-copter combocraft take on 'Marine One' role
Posted in Science, 14th April 2011 12:01 GMT
President Obama's personal helicopter fleet will soon include the famous, controversial V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, according to reports. However it seems unlikely that the amazing plane-copter combo craft will land on the White House lawn very often.
It's OK for the Pentagon. Is it OK for the White House?
Military.com reports that HMX-1, the US Marine aviation squadron which provides the presidential helicopters – such a chopper assumes the callsign "Marine One" when the president is aboard, just as any airforce plane becomes "Air Force One" – is soon to get V-22 Ospreys. However the tiltrotors will not be replacing the VH-3 Sea Kings and VH-60 Blackhawks which are normally seen lifting the leader of the free world on and off his front lawn: rather the V-22s will replace the squadron's monster Sea Stallion heavy-lift copters.
The Stallions don't normally carry the president, but are used to shift presidential kit or in other utility tasks. The wider Marine Corps has a large fleet of these monster helicopters, now under some strain due to combat operations in Afghanistan, and the presidential Stallions will now supplement the regular fleet. Some 14 Ospreys will be assigned to VIP support duties in their place.
The Sea Kings which actually fly the president about are getting very old and should have been replaced some time ago. Under the Bush administration the official plan was to use a specially modified version of the Merlin helicopter now in service with the Royal Navy, RAF and other European forces. The Merlin was chosen in part because it is one of the larger choppers which could set down on the White House lawn without causing too much destruction.
But the Merlin isn't particularly strong in the matter of lifting power*, and it struggled desperately to carry any reasonable number of people along with the communications and protective kit required in the presidential role. The project's costs climbed to the point where it became an issue in the presidential election, with both candidates vying to condemn it. The Merlin was duly axed shortly after Mr Obama took office, and since then the Marines have been scratching their heads and looking for something else.
Rotary-wing colossus Boeing suggests that the Osprey could replace the Sea King as well as the heavy-lift Stallion at HMX-1: it has previously been reported that the tiltrotor could physically fit onto the White House lawn. The Marines would love the idea of using their often-criticised flagship aircraft in their most prestigious task, and the V-22's aeroplane capabilities could save time and add security.
Can you really fold one of these things up into a transport plane?
On the other hand, the Osprey is a lot harder on its landing pads than normal choppers are. The comparatively small prop discs are heavily loaded when it is flying as a helicopter – in other words they are blasting air harder than choppers normally do – and the super-hot jet exhausts point straight down in this situation, unlike those of a normal copter.
It does fold up ... kind of
The exhausts are officially acknowledged as being so hot that they warp and buckle the steel flight decks of US warships, and the Osprey's downblast is known to be fierce indeed. An Osprey landing in a park as part of Memorial Day festivities last year scattered spectators like ninepins, hurling some of them as much as 30 feet.
The Osprey would probably be highly unpopular with the White House gardeners should it replace the Sea King, then, and aviation-industry sources have also suggested to the Reg that the Osprey would struggle in the matter of being shipped around the world to accompany the president, as his personal choppers are required to be. The present Sea Kings and Blackhawks are folded up and put into massive C-17 or C-5 transport planes which follow Air Force One, but this could be a laborious business with the complicated Osprey – much though it is designed for shipborne operations, and as such its wings do fold up.
All in all it seems probable that the main Marine One task will be taken on by something a little more conventional. But following yesterday's reports, it is also clear that at least some V-22s will soon be painted in presidential livery. ®
*The Royal Navy Merlin can't achieve a hover with a full combat load, meaning that it has to roll forwards to take off (or get its carrying ship to do so). The RAF cargo-carrying variant carries only 4 tons, less than a smaller Blackhawk can manage.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
Went out for dinner to China Rose for the first time last week and I was amazed to discover this awesome family restaurant. First impressions, this place was clean and well kept. I went for the lunch buffet with a friend that has been here many times and swears by the food. I absolutely loved it. My plate alone consisted of the following: ginger beef, palace style chicken, mixed vegetables, chow mein noodles, sweet and sour pork, pork dumplings, fried rice, mushrooms in black bean sauce, shrimp in black bean sauce, chicken wings and a bowl of hot and sour soup. I loved the decoration. They also play really nice music in background and all the servants are very attentive. They will help you a lot. This place is always busy. Thumbs up to visit this place for sure.
I loved everything about the China rose restaurant. I visited this restaurant once with my friends and now usually order through the phone. The food, especially from the traditional menu is sumptuous and my favorite is crab puffs. Another must try is the China Rose Special Duck that is tender with an awesome flavor and is also not too spicy. Not only this, whenever I call the staff is very friendly and I also get to choose from their daily specials.
Aug,2010, I hope everything have change about this place, my family was here about 10 years ago and most
of us got food poisoning from this place, and have not been back, so hope they as changed, whatever,
we certainly will not be back. Back then, the chinese foods is really for Caucasians and not Chineses,
and I have the feeling that they prefer to service Caucasians as well.
I had my party here and service was terrible. Servers wont do anything unless you ask them too or didnt even serve the guest, they dont even help us to move some stuff. They rarely help us decorate, and they rather serve the small party or walk in rather the big party . FYI, it was a big party, there was a hundred people and I rented also one of the rooms and I paid for it for the whole day but they were kicking us out or keep asking to pack up our thing coz apparently walk ins/ maybe party is coming. The girl night manager is rude and even raised her voice when we were asking why walk in going to buffet first. They dont have patience. One thing for sure, im not coming back here again. I dont recommend to throw your big party here.

First Person: Your essays
On Why I'm An Activist For Worthy Causes
I'm Rummel Pinera and I'm an activist for worthy causes. When did I become an activist? I think I became an activist the moment I started to stand up courageously for the principles that I believe in. I grew up as a kid during the 1980's at a time when there was discontent against the then Marcos administration. I remember that when I was just 11 years old, I was already distributing some leaflets about protecting the environment. It was my Aunt Dominga Pinera who was then about 18 years old that taught me about the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties, courage to stand up for good causes, and the love for justice. Imagine an 11-year old kid being enlightened by a soft-spoken aunt about believing in righteous principles and standing up firmly for what you believe in. That was me as a kid growing up during the 1980's here in the Philippines.
The 1980's was an 'era of peaceful uprisings against tyranny and injustices'. I remember that it was in 1983 that Benigno Aquino, Jr., a charismatic pro-democracy politician, was assassinated at the tarmac of the then Manila International Airport. His widow- Mrs. Corazon C. Aquino would later lead a movement that would peacefully dismantle the then Marcos administration. The Marcos administration, also known as the 'Marcos regime' here in the Philippines. was an authoritarian government that ruled the country from 1965 until 1986. I was fascinated by the bravery of Mrs. Aquino in defying the then Marcos administration's requests to stop leading political rallies for democracy and freedom. I was also impressed by such international figures like Desmond Tutu of South Africa, Lech Walesa of Poland, and the late Kim Dae-jung of South Korea who led peaceful demonstrations against despotic rule and oppression. 1983 was some kind of an 'enlightening year' for me because that was the time that I started taking part in peaceful street demonstrations.
While some Filipinos in the early 80's thought that the Marcos administration will stay in power forever and the peaceful rallies against such regime were just fruitless activities, my strong faith in freedom and progress kept me waging a peaceful struggle for democracy in our country. I was ecstatic when the peaceful People Power Revolution took place in February of 1886. The said non-violent revolution was a political milestone in the Philippines. People Power Revolution overthrew the Marcos regime in 1986 and paved the way for the return of democracy and constitutional processes in the Philippines. The said uprising ended the Marcos administration that ruled the country for more than 20 years. Such peaceful revolution later influenced and encouraged other peaceful pro-democracy revolts and uprisings during the late 80's in Africa, South Korea, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Burma.
After participating in the 1986 People Power Revolution, I later joined several "solidarity mass actions" here in the Philippines for those who were then struggling for democracy and freedom in many parts of the world. I participated in such "solidarity mass actions" and "solidarity forums" from March, 1986 until about October, 1992. I also joined organizations promoting gender equality, environmentalism, children's rights, and other good causes during that time. It was in 1993, when I started looking for a job, that I somehow stopped participating in peaceful mass actions. But I continued promoting and doing good causes, like clean-up duties for the environment and humanitarian work, even if I was already employed from 1993 until 2001.
I participated indirectly in the so-called '2001 EDSA People Power Revolution', The said peaceful uprising is also known as the '2nd People Power Revolution' here in the Philippines. What I did then was promote the idea on Internet forums that Pres. Joseph Estrada should either resign voluntarily from the presidency or call an early presidential election wherein he can participate and run for the presidency. That was the start of my 'online activism'. Because I was then busy working to earn a living, I used the Internet as a medium to promote the good causes that I believe in. Pres. Joseph Estrada was forced to resign as president in January of 2001.
It was in March of 2001 that I quit my job to establish my own business. I started retailing in March, 2001. I established a retail store during that time. I also ventured in free-lance salesmanship during that year. I'm still running such retail store and doing salesmanship up to this time. Being a self-employed retailer and salesman obviously gave me plenty of time to participate once again in activities promoting good causes.
Aside from actually participating once again in activities for worthy causes in 2001, I started doing online campaigns for good causes during the same year. I wrote books about my own political beliefs from 2003 until 2006. I started to promote my own advocacy called 'political abrogationism' in year 2003. Political abrogationism is a political advocacy which promotes the idea that all dictatorships, monarchies and despotic regimes all over the world should be abolished through peaceful and lawful means. Political abrogationism also preaches that every country, social organization and culture on Earth should peacefully and lawfully embrace democracy and secure human rights. I know that the ultimate objectives of such a political advocacy are nearly-impossible to achieve. I didn't create such advocacy to really make democracy become absolute all over the world. We know that most countries on this planet right now are already democracies. I know that there will be some situations that may happen on Earth which can lead to dictatorial rule in some places. I made such advocacy because I want the responsible citizens of this planet to be always vigilant in their lifetimes in defending the values of human rights, democracy, civil liberties, constitutional processes and freedom. Such kind of vigilance should always guide humanity in the march for global stability and progress. I personally believe that human rights, civil liberties and freedom are natural and universal to all human beings. Hence, all human beings certainly deserve democracy and freedom.
I must also point out that I started doing online campaigns supporting Obama's bid to win the Democrats' primaries in year 2008. I actually organized fan-clubs for Obama during the same year and propagated the 'Obama campaign' all over the Internet. I was really impressed by Obama's intelligence, charm and sincerity that even though I'm not a US citizen, I campaigned on the Internet for his presidential bid during that time.
As I've mentioned, even though I'm not an American, I actively used the power of the Internet to champion the then presidential bid of Barack Obama in year 2008. I even went to the extent of chatting with my friends and relatives in the United States to persuade them to support and campaign for Obama. I actively joined several U.S.-based online forums in order to defend and promote Obama's presidential campaign. I used the power of the Internet to campaign for Obama during the Democratic primaries in 2008 and during the actual campaign for the US presidential election. I also did the same for Obama in the 2012 US presidential election. I promoted Obama's re-election bid on the Internet in year 2012.
I know that the Internet has that power to mobilize people from all over the world because the Internet is now the largest "common place" on Earth. I used the power of the Internet to promote worthy or good causes all over the globe. I joined the Free Burma Coalition- Philippines through the Internet. I'm happy that Burma is now slowly but surely being democratized as news-reports had shown. I was able to join various solidarity-campaigns, which helped some countries that were once under despotic rule to gain democracy and freedom, via the Internet.
Such 'common place' called the Internet is in reality a melting pot of cultures, ideas,aspirations, expressions, dreams, hopes, innovations and visions. It's only normal for such a common place to have sub-areas wherein individuals can meet new friends, form organizations and promote worthy causes. We now have the various 'social networking sites' as some kind of sub-areas wherein people can create forums and groups, as well as meet new friends. It's obvious that the Internet can be used as a practical medium to promote worthy causes and good advocacies since it is a diverse common place, and its scope is as wide as humanity itself. Activists like me are using the power of the Internet to justify, advocate and popularize good causes and noble ideals that would help make this world a much better place to live in. I know that the Internet is a modern-day innovation, but I can see the reality that it has become a huge and wide public space wherein I can freely state my ideas and openly express opinions. I'm really using the power of the Internet to promote racial equality, religious tolerance, humanitarianism, gender equality, human rights and other worthy causes all over the world.
Why am I still an activist for good causes up to this day when I'm not that young anymore? I believe that whatever your age is, you have to stand up firmly for the good principles that you believe in. I believe that every human being has a desire to see a much better world to live in because we all want to live long lifetimes and want to see all humans having harmony, understanding and peace with one another. We humans want to live in harmony with nature and the whole universe.
When we say we want to see a better world, we mean we want to reform ourselves and end oppressive systems. When we say we want reformation, we mean we want to delete out bad traditions and bigoted doctrines so we can promote kindness all over the globe. When we say we want to be free from tyranny, it means we want to respect, uphold and secure our very own human rights and civil liberties as human beings.
There are courageous human beings out there who are not afraid to stand up for righteous causes. Such heroic people will strive hard to defend human dignity and ward off discrimination and oppression. They are the ones who have the wisdom to topple despotic and oppressive structures so that this planet will be a world of justice, kindness, harmony, human rights, civil liberties, fairness, pluralism and freedom. I do believe that activists for good causes are among such courageous people.
Why am I not embarrassed to be termed as an activist for good causes? It's because I know that I'm fighting for righteous advocacies and noble ideals. When we see oppression, we should stand up and help the oppressed. When we see injustice, we should struggle to give justice to those who have become victims of injustice. When we see cruelty, we should stand up for mercy and kindness. When we see violence, we should stand up for peace, harmony and understanding. When we see unjust things, we should have the courage to stand up for righteousness and make this world a much better place to live in.
We need to help those who are victims of natural calamities and tragedies. We need to reach out to poor folks and help many of them achieve better lives. We have to help liberate modern-day slaves from the chains of human trafficking. Why do we have to be humane and kind? It's because we are all children of God and must help one another to gain real happiness, good life and salvation. Also, the good things that we do to others will make us better persons in this world of ours. If you are helping so many people, you are assured that many people will also help you when it's your time to be the one needing the help of others. Also, doing good things for humanity, animals and the ecological balance will bring 'good karma' into your life. If you sow good seeds, you will certainly harvest good fruits. The kindness and blessings that you give to others will return back to you in so many ways.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - What most people remember most about uptown Charlotte's Sheraton Hotel is the gunfire that erupted and the chaos that followed during a massive party at the close of CIAA weekend last month. Now a report from a state Alcohol Law Enforcement agent who investigated what happened that night is raising new questions about why the hotel was able to sell alcohol.
After the hotel changed names from the Blake Hotel to the Sheraton last year it was supposed to get a new permit from the N.C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. But for months it didn't. Last November ABC agent with Charlotte Meckelnburg Police refused the hotel's request for an alcohol permit because the hotel was still under renovation and didn't have proper code and zoning certifications. But the state's report says Larry Parker, a representative for of the Sheraton, asked police to sign off anyway, claiming "he knew someone at the ABC Commission who would take care of it."
That suggestion of "influence" comes as the city of Charlotte is still grappling with the aftermath of former mayor Pat Cannon's resignation last week on public corruption charges.
In the case of the Sheraton, the N.C. ABC insists there's no evidence of any improper influence by Larry Parker or any ABC employee. But state documents do say the Sheraton kept selling alcohol without a permit for months. That only changed once the CIAA tournament came to town. With a huge party planned that was bringing in rap mogul "Diddy" the Sheraton asked for, and received, a temporary alcohol permit even though CMPD still hadn't offered its approval.
That temporary permit ended up being suspended just days later after two people where shot and others were injured during a melee at the Saturday night party. Despite that, the Sheraton was able to get another alcohol permit just a week later. The hotel has agreed to train servers and notify the state when other big parties are booked. The latest alcohol permit for the Sheraton will remain "temporary" until at least 2015.

The UK Independence Party leader paid a tax adviser to set up the Farage Family Educational Trust 1654 on the Isle of Man.
Mr Farage said opening the scheme had been a mistake because "things that we thought were absolutely fair practice 10 years, 20 years ago, 30 years ago aren't any more".
However, Mr Farage insisted that he never used the scheme, claiming that he was "not rich enough" to need the offshore fund.
Mr Farage, who has previously described wealthy people who evade tax as the "common enemy", told the Daily Mirror: "My financial advisers recommended I did it, to have a trust really for inheritance purposes and I took the advice and I set it up.
"It was a mistake. I was a completely unsuitable person for it. I am not blaming them it was my fault.
"It's a vehicle that you chuck things in through your life that you don't need and you build up a trust fund for your children or grandchildren.
"It was called an educational trust and could have been used for grandchildren's schools fees, things like that."
Mr Farage reportedly transferred his shareholding in Farage Limited in 2003 to the trust based in Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man. However, the Ukip leader insisted he was not a beneficiary of any dividends from the Farage Family Educational Trust.
The accountant for Farage Limited, Spencer Watson, said that no dividends had been paid to Mr Farage.
Mr Farage said setting up the trust was a mistake for three reasons.
"Firstly, I'm not rich enough to need one and I am never going to be," he said.
"Secondly, frankly, the world has changed. Things that we thought were absolutely fair practice 10 years, 20 years ago, 30 years ago aren't any more. Thirdly, it was a mistake because it cost me money. I sent a cheque off to set it up."

Casio EXILIM EX-V7 Camera review | Adjustments
You might not expect it, but the Casio Exilim EX-V7 offers a lot of possibilities to adjust a photograph before and after it is taken. It offers many more possibilities than most of its competitors, and the big advantage is that these are very useful options. With this, Casio certainly demonstrates where its roots lie: electronics. Combining digital files with the right software enables a lot of arrangements these days.
Casio V7 - Aperture & Shutter speed options
The Casio Exilim EX-V7 digital compact camera can be operated fully automatically, but you can also choose aperture and shutter speed options, and fully manual metering is even one of the possibilities. Do not expect too much of this, however, the number of stops is very limited. And the shutter speed options do not allow you to choose your own ISO rate. This is undoubtedly due to the limited amount of stops. Still, I see its advantages, and therefore this camera is a great precursor for the real creative work.
Casio Exilim EX-V7 - Best Shot programs
Next to the common program features, there are an additional 33 Best Shot modes. These are essentially fully automatic programs that you can choose depending on the subject or situation. Within these Best Shot positions you can also choose an ISO rate of 1600. Not that you would want to, because this level of sensitivity is apparently not functional. It is too bad that Casio has fallen for the marketing game and has been seduced into including the high ISO rate as a programmable option. In almost every compact camera, we are faced with high noise levels for ISO 800 and higher. We will talk about this more later. The video option is very functional; you can make beautiful films with the Casio Exilim EX-V7, and even zooming in and out while filming is possible.
Casio Exilim V7 - ISO settings
With full resolution you can opt for a sensitivity between ISO 64 and ISO 800. Up until ISO 200 is fine, but at ISO 400 you will already see an increase in noise, and detail will be lost due to the internal noise suppression. At ISO 800 you will hardly have a usable image at all. There is too much noise and all the details are lost, which is too bad. It is smart not to go above ISO 400, but then you might have to use a flash. The flash does not have a very powerful range, it just cannot extend far enough, and because the flash is so close to the lens, you will experience red-eye very quickly.
Casio Exilim EX-V7 - Shifting sensor
Luckily the Casio Exilim camera has a shifting sensor which can prevent camera shake. It works pretty well, but there are better systems on the market. It is not easy to make a good system with such a small structure. You will notice that the optical quality is sacrificed due to this. In the wide-angle position, the lens works quite well, but at telephoto it is only average. The photos miss that perfect sharpness, they are a little vague. I have only witnessed chromatic aberration in high contrast situations, and with back lighting you can see overexposure, but certainly not more than you should expect in such a structure. With low contrast, the brighter objects are washed out, but this not only unique for the Casio V7. Almost all digital compact cameras have a rather limited dynamic range, so that concessions must be made.
Casio V7 - Colour reproduction & Contrast
The colour reproduction is very pleasing. It is very subdued and certainly not as saturated as many other compact cameras. A disadvantage of this is that it appears to be less sharp, but that is just an optical illusion. The colours are actually quite natural. The contrast is also not outstandingly high, but actually a bit on the low side. Personally I do not mind that so much. You can always increase or decrease the contrast afterwards. The end result is good and offers room to adjust it according to personal taste with editing software.
Casio Exilim V7 - Perspective correction
What is unique is the possibility to make corrections afterwards with the Casio EX-V7. One of these is the perspective correction. We know this function from other models and it works amazingly well. Just like Nikon, the EX-V7 allows you to correct the dynamic range. You can do this both before and after capturing the image. In fact this is the same as the D-lighting, only a little subtler.

Re: Grecos - Milazzo, Sicily-late 1880s
Jack, I was thrilled to hear from you.I have been searching for Anthony for quite a while!I was able to find where all the other siblings are buried, but not Anthony. I
have traced the Grecos back a few generations to Milazzo and was able to get some records from Italy.From writing to a church here, I did learn that Anthony married Mary Musso.I have a great picture of all the siblings that was taken the day of his wedding. My granfather, Joseph married Carmela Fazio,had 5 children: Carl, who died in the 60's (he was only in his 50's), Mary (Picciolo) the only living sibling will be 91 next month, Lucy (Sciaretta), my Mom who passed away in 1996, Rose (D'Amico), who passed in 1997, and Antoniette (Rosano), who passed in 1994. They all had two children: Carl had Joseph and Carl; Mary had Anthony and Marylou; Rose had Kathryn & Frank; Antoniette the youngest had Dennis & Peter and my Mom,Lucy, had my brother Anthony and me, Suzanne.Would love to share more info -

Equal parts foodie paradise, county fair and DIY depot — that's Oakland's Eat Real Festival, Sept. 27-29 at Jack London Square.
Now in its fourth year, Eat Real has always drawn crowds to its stellar selection of street food vendors, ranging from all manner of ethnic foods to all-American barbecue and mac and cheese. With items topping out at $5, diners can choose to enjoy a bargain lunch or an affordable smorgasbord.
But Eat Real is about more than eating (on site, that is). Mosey over to the Urban County Fair, which showcases backyard farmers and their animals in one of the densest urban areas in the country. Beekeepers and city chicken farmers tell about their exploits, while urban agriculturists show and tell how to grow crops in the concrete jungle.
Also reminiscent of the traditional county fair: DIY food contests. Amateur food crafters can aim for a blue ribbon in Eat Real's most popular categories: home-brewed beer, jam, pickles, alcoholic infusions and condiments. Here's your chance to show off your tastiest spreads and fantastic fixin's. Visit the site for entry information.
If your skills aren't up to contest snuff, check out the food craft lessons. Learn how to make sauerkraut, sausage, homemade bitters, jam, fresh cheese and more. Onstage, master food crafters demonstrations range from making barbecue sauce to brewing kombucha (a fermented tea beverage). Butchers will show off their skills, dismantling a hindquarter of steer, carving half a pig and performing other meat magic.
— Terri Hunter-Davis
If you go
The Eat Real Festival is open 1 to 9 p.m. Sept. 27, 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 28 and 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 29 at Jack London Square, the foot of Broadway, Oakland. Admission is free.
Avoid parking grief by taking the free Broadway shuttle bus to Jack London Square. The shuttle also serves BART's 19th Street and 12th Street stations. Or take the San Francisco Bay Ferry, which docks at the foot of Clay Street, just steps away from the festival. Coming from a longer distance? Amtrak's Capitol Corridor stops a short walk away at Oakland's Jack London Square depot.

Paging Dan Quayle
(Guest Post from Big Tent Democrat)
Desperation. David Brooks via Althouse:
The first predator, of course, is Mark Foley, the Florida congressman. The second predator is a character in Eve Ensler's play, "The Vagina Monologues."
Foley is now universally reviled. But the Ensler play, which depicts the secretary's affair with the 13-year-old as a glorious awakening, is revered.
Okaaay. Potatoe:
IF FOR NOTHING ELSE, DAN QUAYLE DESERVES POINTS for audacity. . . . [T]he Vice President dared to argue last week in a San Francisco speech that the Los Angeles riots were caused in part by a "poverty of values" that included the acceptance of unwed motherhood, as celebrated in popular culture by the CBS comedy series Murphy Brown.
Personally, I think Brooks had a Beavis and Butthead moment and wanted to use the word vagina in a column.

Taiwan's Yani Tseng won the P&G Northwest Arkansas Championship on Sunday for her third LPGA Tour victory of the year, shooting a 6-under 65 to rally past second-round leader Michelle Wie.
Tseng birdied four of five holes early on the back nine, then held on for a one-stroke victory over Wie with a birdie on No. 18. Tseng finished at 13-under 200.
Wie (69) gave up the lead on the back nine -- the same half of the course she played in 7-under 28 during a scintillating stretch Saturday.
"She's just so good," Tseng said of Wie. "I just really play, one shot at a time, but if I don't make lots of birdies today, I couldn't win."
Japan's Mika Miyazato (64) was third at 10 under at Pinnacle Country Club.
Tseng has five career LPGA Tour victories, including three majors. She won the Kraft Nabisco Championship and Ricoh Women's British Open this year.
Juli Inkster, who at 50 was trying to become the oldest player to win on the tour, entered the day tied for second, but shot 72 and finished seven shots back.
Inkster was grouped with Tseng and Wie on the final day, with the 20-year-old Wie trying for her second straight win. She won the CN Canadian Women's Open late last month.
Wie led by three strokes after two rounds but fell into a tie with Inkster at 9 under when she three-putted No. 6 for a bogey. Wie responded with a birdie on No. 7 and led Tseng by two strokes after both players birdied the 11th.
"Yani played great," Wie said. "Usually, if you're 12 under, it's good enough. I played good today. I had faith in myself, a couple iron shots went a little bit left today."
Tseng kept the pressure on. Although Wie scrambled to make pars on Nos. 13, 14 and 15, Tseng birdied 12, 14 and 15 to take the lead.
Wie then bogeyed No. 16 to fall two strokes back, but hit an outstanding tee shot on the par-3 17th and made a birdie, one of only six on that hole all day.
That set up No. 18, a 515-yard par 5 that Wie had eagled the previous day. Tseng missed the fairway but hit a tremendous second shot from about 200 yards to the fringe, around 20 feet from the hole. Wie then missed the green with her second shot, all but ending her chances. Both players finished with birdies -- Tseng's on a putt from inside 2 feet.
Tseng has played well in majors, but she struggled in some of the less prestigious tournaments. Since winning the Women's British Open, she tied for 45th at the Safeway Classic and missed the cut at the Canadian Women's Open.
"I missed the cut last tournament and then I win this tournament," Tseng said. "It means so much difference for me -- seems like I was really prepared and ready for this tournament."
She's now firmly involved in the discussion of who might take over the mantle as women's golf's next dominant player after the recent retirements of Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa.
"When I was young, I was watching them play, so I just feel like I really need to win more tournaments, to be really working hard to be chasing them," Tseng said. "Even though they're retired, I think they're still No. 1 in the world."The Arkansas event was only 54 holes but had a loaded field with almost every top player in the world. Inbee Park (65) finished fourth, five strokes behind the winner. Jiyai Shin (66) and Seon Hwa Lee (69), the last two champions at this event, were in a group of players another shot back.
Ai Miyazato (67) tied for ninth, and Cristie Kerr (70) tied for 32nd.

The strongest acting category at this year's Academy Awards may very well be Supporting Actor. Three probable nominees, all deserving: Christophe Waltz (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS), Christian McKay (who plays Orson Welles in ME AND ORSON WELLES) and Woody Harrelson (THE MESSENGER).
That's two actors from nowhere and one actor people didn't take seriously, but should have.

In the age of the iPod, does anyone need a fancy home audio system? The answer, if one is serious about music, is an emphatic "yes."
These days, music is portable and modular, served a la carte in a million ways a million times per day to millions of listeners around the globe. Whether through MP3 players, satellite radio or ripped from a CD on a PC, to many people the notion of having to sit at home to enjoy their favorite music is as archaic as using a mimeograph machine to make copies.
And if one is going to be listening at home, why spend too much money? After all, there are now enough peripherals for an MP3 player, such as Bose's Sound Dock--which costs around $300--that lets users plug in their iPods and deliver quality acoustics anywhere in their home. Not only that, but for less than $200 it is possible to walk out of a
But for music connoisseurs, comparing a glorified boombox with state-of-the-art audio equipment is like saying that it's just as much fun to drive a $22,000 Pontiac Grand Am as it is a $200,000 Ferrari F430. The two cars fulfill the same basic function, but the Ferrari does it on such an infinitely higher level of performance and craftsmanship as to render all comparisons absurd.
Take for example the Ongaku amplifier from Audio Note Japan. This 27-watt power amplifier uses a single-ended triode circuit and is hand crafted in a Tokyo workshop by Hiroyasu Kondo, a world-renowned engineer who uses 20 pounds of silver throughout the amp, including silver wire in the windings of the hand-made transformers. This audio work of art delivers a level of sound quality unmatched by any other amplifier on the market--and for $80,000 it had better.
Think that's an expensive piece of stereo equipment? Try $135,000 for a pair of Alexandria X-2 loudspeakers from Provo, Utah-based Wilson Audio Specialties, or the $145,000 Evolution Music System from Krell Industries in Orange, Conn., which generate the kind of butt-kicking bass that doesn't just blow out windows but also knocks down walls.
Of course, many people may not need Rockport Technologies' 535-pound, $73,750 System III Sirius turntable to enjoy their old collection of LPs. There are enough more-than-adequate turntables--not to mention amps, preamps, speakers, etc.--that cost thousands less and still deliver excellent sound.
But no one "needs" a Ferrari F430, nor does anyone "need" to go from zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds. Still, if you afford it, why the heck shouldn't you? Not only do you get major bragging rights, it's also a freaking blast.
See our list of the World's Most Expensive Stereo Components.

Gore leads team in opening tourney
Chris Doyen | Monday, September 3, 2007
Saint Mary's shot a combined score of 697 this weekend at the Ferris State Invitational in Big Rapids, Mich., to earn a 13th-place tie with Northwood University.
The Belles jumped up one spot in the standing Sunday after finishing the first round of play in 14th.
Senior Katie O'Brien shot a fifteen-over-par 87 in the first round to lead the Belles. Freshman Emily Gore was only one stroke off O'Brien's pace with an 88, freshman Amanda Mainstone shot a 90, and freshman Megan Lehr and junior Perri Hamma both shot 91s to give the Belles a first-round score of 356.
Gore had an impressive second round Sunday, posting a score of 80 that gave her a 168 overall. The rookie's performance was good enough for 45th on the individual leaderboard, the best showing of any Saint Mary's player.
O'Brien, Mainstone and Hamma also had good showings, shooting 88, 86 and 87, respectively, giving the Belles a second round score of 341 and enabling them to move up into 13th place.
Ferris State won its own tournament with a forty-over-par 616. Ferris State senior Jacqueline Benscoter was the lowest-scoring individual of the tournament, shooting an even 144.
Head coach Mark Hamilton was very pleased with the performance of his freshmen, who fit in nicely with upperclassman scorers O'Brien and Hamma.
"It helps us a lot," Hamilton said. "They played really well despite it being their first tournament at a difficult course and against tough competition. Emily Gore played especially well [Sunday]."
Hamilton acknowledged, however, that the Belles' performance over the weekend was not quite as good as it could have been.
"We scored a little higher than we would have wanted in the first round," Hamilton said. "The front nine was tough on Saturday. Once everyone got their feet under them, we played really well, but by then the damage was already done."
The Belles begin MIAA conference play next Saturday as they take on Kalamazoo on the road.

Robert Cummins is Professor of Philosophy at University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign.
What is it for something in the mind to represent something? Distinguished philosopher of mind Robert Cummins looks at the familiar problems of representation theory (what information is represented in the mind, what form mental representation takes, how representational schemes are implemented in the brain, what it is for one thing to represent another) from an unprecedented angle.
In this provocative study, Robert Cummins takes on philosophers, both old and new, who pursue the question of mental representation as an abstraction, apart from the constraints of any particular theory or framework. Cummins asserts that mental representation is, in fact, a problem in the philosophy of science, a theoretical assumption that serves different explanatory roles within the different contexts of commonsense or "folk" psychology, orthodox computation, connectionism, or neuroscience.
In exploring the nature of psychological explanation, this book looks at how psychologists theorize about the human ability to calculate, to speak a language and the like. It shows how good theorizing explains or tries to explain such abilities as perception and cognition.
Philosophers have found that the concepts and technology of artificial intelligence provide useful ways to test theories of knowledge and reason. Conversely, researchers in artificial intelligence, noting that the production of information-processing systems require a prior theory of rationality, have begun writing philosophy. Philosophy and AI presents invited contributions that focus on the different perspectives and techniques that philosophy and AI bring to the theory of rationality.A Bradford Book
