World Cafe Santa Monica Reviews
408 reviews
Jan 23, 2007
Neat cafe/restaurant on Main St. in Santa Monica that has an attached bar. My friends and I came here for dinner on a Friday night. The prices looked a bit steep, but the quality of the food was good and they gave very large portions. The pasta and pizza dishes seemed like the most food for your buck, and didn't sacrifice quality. There is seating both inside and outside in a fenced-in terrace area with heat lamps. We sat outside, but it was a bit too cold even with the heat lamps. In most cases outdoor seating should be fine though, as the nights in LA are rarely that cold.After dinner we went to go check out the bar and ended up staying the night there. The beers and drinks are reasonably priced, and there is a really cool room with couches and seats next to the bar where people go to chill out. Just don't grab the corner seats right next to the bar unless you want to get your conversation interupted every 35 seconds by the cocktail waitresses passing by, as this is the main traffic corridor between the bar and the lounge room.I just looked at the website and it seems pretty tacky, but the actual restaurant/bar are cool. Don't let poor Flash design and music fool you.

World Cafe is an expensive, hip bar and restaurant located on Main Street in Santa Monica.
My favorite thing about World Cafe is the lounge and the wide selection of alcohol.
The lounge is set up to be extremely comfortable, and has a variety of seating options ranging from little stools to big lounge type chairs.
World cafe is best enjoyed by groups of 3-5 people.. in my opinion its not a place where you want to go with just one buddy, nor is it especially well set up for large crowds.
There is also an outdoors area, which has heatlamps and is usually quite comfortable.
The one drawback about World Cafe are the prices, which seem to have increased since the last time I was there. Drinks are $5-9 and dinner prices can hit $20-30 per person easily.

I need opinions and need to make sure I'm not missing something before I book another appointment with teacher re: ds1's level/ability etc(28 Posts)
Right. Will try to include all information without rambling too much (don't want to drip feed either)
Ds1 is an august born child so is one of the youngest in his class.
When he started nursery, he struggled a bit because they made the pupils sit at the table straight away to trace over their names with a pencil and ds1 was very against this!
I think he enjoyed nursery but it was difficult to get him there.
Anyway, massive improvement last year in reception, he went happily enough and seemed to do quite well. We struggled with homework, they were sending a sheet, sometimes 2 sheets home a night of writing practice, letter formation. I did not push him too hard as I felt that after a long day, homework shouldn't be a battle and I didn't want homework to start off on a negative foot at the age of 4 (in hindsight, I may have been wrong, but I don't think so)
We attended various parents evening throughout his reception year and he seemed to be making steady progress. There were things that he was better at than others, but nothing overly concerning apart from the homework.
I told the teacher the struggle we were having and she seemed to be quite understanding of this. The TA gave ds1 a 'special' pencil to take home, and boom, he was more than happy to do homework and has completed 100% since then.
His final reprt from reception stated that he was hitting average for everything. All subjects (Literacy, numeracy, KUOW, creative etc) all had B/C marks for effort and were all graded at 6/7 points for ability. At the bottom of the page, it stated that the average for that year was 6/7.
Brilliant, very happy parents.
Last week, we attended his first parents evening for year 1 where we were told in no uncertain terms that ds1 is below average in everything and is about a year behind where he should be now!
Right. Ok. So I told the teacher I am more than happy to support him at home with his learning and I will work with her to enable ds1 to catch up.
She said his reading is poor and that's what we'll start with first. I actually thought he was doing well, but hey.
So she didn't give me any clues as to what to do at home other than read daily with him which I have been doing since he was 2 weeks old, and I'm kind of thinking that if he is a year behind, me continuing with something I've been doing for 5 years isn't enough???????
So, we started playing some rhyming word games, sounding out and repeating whole word games, he played on websites that help to build cvc words etc and we have continued with his reading.
I asked the teacher to send (at her convenience) information on the exact strategy that would be put into place to help ds1 catch up and she wrote back saying she would send home some flash cards and as he grew confident with them, would add more. That was it.
She sent home 4 cards that said 'we' 'me' 'be' and 'she'. Great. 4 words he knows. I write in every day to tell her we looked at the cards and he knew them. That we also played matching games with my flashcards etc etc.
Re his reading, I know they have tyo push phonics, and I know that ds1 gets lost in phonics and is better at whole language reading, so we have started doing both at home, where i model reading without sounding out and he copies, sentance by sentance. We then pull out some colourful flash cards to see if he's memorising the book or knows the words.
Some he struggles with, some are fine.
It's almost like he thinks he has to use phonics even if he knows the word. he'll sound out words like 'can' 'cat' 'tub' in a book but will just know them on a flash card
So, what I want to know is how does a pupil that was marked as average last year, suddenly fall a whole year behind? Has he been incorrectly assessed at some point? Or am I missing something?
Thanks for reading. That was long wasn't it? Would be grateful for any thoughts.
"It's almost like he thinks he has to use phonics even if he knows the word. he'll sound out words like 'can' 'cat' 'tub' in a book but will just know them on a flash card confused"
It's very common for children taught with flash cards not to be able to recognise the same words in other contexts ... it also happens when children "memorise" whole books and can't transfer what they seemingly know to other texts. We often find that turning two pages some children will "read" the missed page ...
I would book another appointment even ask to have combined meeting between reception teacher and yera 1 teacher as dont get the discrepancy and talk about action plan.
I was told start year 1 1st parents evening everything was fine by 2nd parents it wasent she was struggling and behind.
Year 1 has phonics test so expect they be doing phonics coaching before that ours did.
mrz Thanks for your reply. We spoke on the 'phonics' thread in the week too.
I'm just so confused as to what to do to best help him. I don't want to do nothing but I also don't want to push a method I'm not sure he fully understands.
I fully understand the reason for phonics, and I would like to encourage him to use it, of course, but think there may be other things and ways of reading that could help him.
I also am struggling to see how a child who was doing average at the end of last year can be a whole year behind (in everything) now.
That's a good idea mam about asking to see both teachers.
Thanks for your reply.
Am I wrong in thinking there must have been an incorrect assessment somewhere?
If this teacher had said he was below average and behind by some, I could have accepted and even agreed. I know ds1 is not top of the class, I know he struggles with certain things, but he also is nearly a year younger than the oldest class-mates.
But an average achieving pupil can not fall behind by a whole year in 10 weeks of schooling can they? (17 weeks including holidays)
Firstly the reception report isn't quite accurate
Point scores are levels of achievement and not the points in the profile, i.e. a score of 6 does not mean profile 6, it means point 3, plus 3 aspects achieved of sections 4-8. *Children with the same points score will therefore probably have a different level of achievement.*
It is therefore not enough to say that the acquisition of 6 scale points is indicative as an acceptable basis for the next stage; it depends upon the particular scale points achieved.
so basically it depends upon which 6/7 profile points your son achieved in each strand whether his achievement is average/below/above
Hard to say silvery moon.
my dd got 6s reading and writing and 8/7 in her efys scores so I know it was year 1 where thinks went since wrong unless her efys scores were incorrect but dd had done nursery/preschool since 1 so had very good idea where she was during those years felt confident about her starting schoo, but she was 41/12 as feb birthday.
If its any consolation a lot of younger ones were ahead by end of year 2 so he will catch up.
A couple of july ones are top tables, higher nc/reading levels but its wide range ability in a year especially if youngest I was a july baby , hubby august and we always had to work at it.
If same school im perlexed why so different?
dd found reception to year 1hard so co-operation between the 2be beneficial as its sounds like your dd got on well with reception teacher and she had confidence in him.
Also could it be the teacher? dd dident get on with year 2 teacher who was polar opposite personality to year 1 teacher was lot stricter and more formal which i thik dident help her do her work as she was always anxious of getting told off.
I think a small slip can happend in hols over summer as its quite long.
But hes had 8weeks of year 1 and been back 2weeks so she should be getting a true picture of ability right now would like to think.
Also one off dd freind was uspet over her math set turned out levels were typo error. But its not just grades your reception teacher said he was fine in her words.
On the report, each topic is broken down into different aspects of that topic. For example: Communication, Language and Literacy broken down into Language for communicating and thinking, linking sounds and letters, reading, writing. Then there is a column headed FSP Points all of which are 6. Then a column headed Effort which are all C's apart from reading which is a B.
At the bottom of report it says: 'Foundation Stage Profile Summer Term
Reception Average at end of Summer Term: 6-7
So this doesn't mean that he is average?
mam yes.
I do a fair amount with them at home.
We still did bits over the holidays, we kept up with reading daily, we looked at flash cards, they listen and watch phonics songs etc on youtube, we used websites with word games, shapes, colours etc all through the holidays. He did not go 6 whole weeks without any kind of educational input.
The quotes I posted are clarification from the National Assessment Authority because many schools were wrongly reporting 6 as "average"
Oh, I see. Ok.
I think I will call the school tomorrow and schedule another appointment with the teacher to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything
It's why raw scores are misleading. The original expectation was that most children would achieve all the ELGs.
Mrs z best placed person to answer.
But I did dig out dd eyfs profile 2011
has 3sections
personal /social emotional development
scored 8, 6 and 4 subtotal 21
The next one is communication/language and literacy
language 7
linking sounds and letters 7
reading 6
writing 6
subtotal 25
last was problem solving /reasoning/numeracy.
scored 8,9,77,8,7 subtotal 23
total score 92 overall
I did think 6 was average so anything above was good
Thourght 9 was max so was pleased with 7,8
I dont have any grades on mine or oevrall avergae score just points.
I assumed if max 92/117 was good providing each of the 13 sub headings scored.
But dd really struggles with numeracy in year 1 and year 2.
Aklsi has been a low level reader
writings improved last 6months,
we used to have regular homework which we did with her.
old school had phonics homework
numeracy and spellings tests in year 1.
dd over summer did libary reading challenge we read loads
we did project on butterflies
visited couple of museums.
online maths and scince through c beebies bitesize and carol vordmans summer camp.
we practiced writing as dd wrote and drew pictures for a book which I helped laminate.
It sounds like you doing all the right things.
best go in and speak to both teachers.
These scores were submitted on written end of year report which led us to believe dd ws doing well.
It did have a letter with it but saying 6 was everage.
But if schools are being misleading then thats a problem.
Thanks mam
I will contact the school and hopefully find out what this actually means.
I agree is not ideal if parents are being misled.
I'm not sure how else I was to interperate(sp?) those marks
SilveryMoon I don't think schools are deliberately setting out to mislead parents I think they are genuinely confused.
We are told 6 is a good score ... but it depends which 6 and then no one will tell us which 6
Yes. Ok, they might not be deliberately trying to mislead us, but if I have misunderstood these marks on the report, then it is likely others have and that is not ideal
There is a new profile this year so I hope when it's published it is less confusing
It is confusing. I thought I understood the EYFS profile, and I knew that a score didn't indicate that the child had achieved all the points up to that level. Yet, DD1 is struggling in Year 1 after scoring 100/117 on the EYFS profile.
She is struggling with change/social situations/expectations, etc despite scoring 8/9 for social development.
I don't think it's the school's fault. I think the transistion to year 1 has revealed some issues with her development (that the school has yet to see, but that's a whole other thread), but it's quite a shock to realise that a child who scored 100 out of 104 'main points' (given that point 9 on each scale is reserved for children performing well beyond the ELGs) is struggling.
I found the letter
dear parents
I hope this letter helps you understand about your childs achievements in relation to early years goals and was sent to you with your childs report,
The early years goals establish a developmentally appropriate curriculum for all children in reception to work towards goals divided into 13areas for assessment they form the basics for planning and future learning reception being last part of foundation stage
six areas are
mentioned above in pp
At the end of foundation a few children may have achived the early years goals and could be working beyond them.
It is however been found across the country that most children working withion the developmental stages and moving toards some or all of early years goals.
It is accepted by the local by the lea-ors is rated 25th in uk i think and nationally that the average child would score a 6 out of 9 cross all learning goals.
So took anything as 6 to be ok nothing to worry about and and the 7/8 as good.
The year 1 written report was broken down into literacy and numercay and supported fact she was going ok.
Only dug this out as deputy head implied dd started school behind or dident have good rception year hence why year 1 not good but found out she as good and year 1 was a issue.
Unfortunatly for us we couldent work it out and moved schools after october half term as old school were unwilling to give her extra help in her weak areas, she was making low level progress and upset as she was behind many people in her class who were quite compatative.
So all of these 6/7's he's got next to subject headings, do i add all of those together to find out his overall EYFS score?
If so, it's 80 which is really low to what some of you are saying..........
The problem is the profile is measuring different things and there is no correlation between the EYFS profile and future attainment.
The data shows that some children who score 1s on the profile go on to achieve level 3 at the end of Y2 and others who score 8-9 scrape a 2c
All I can say silvery moon/lougle is do query and check.
Unfortunatly for 1st half of year we were unaware any problems think 1st parents evening was october she had not been there very long.
We had no one ringing us up with concerens
2nd parenets evening it was raised at end of may.
Thy did some help with phonics-pre phonics test cynic in me wonders if that would have happened if had been no test?
she passed with 32/40
but this meant year 2 having no extra help with phonics as only ones who failed got smaller groups yet she was on one of lowest levels for reading.
They offered no additional support with numeracy.
Now shes moved shes in a
handwriting group
guided reading group
phonics which is mixed years ability not based on some artbitry test which the teachers dont rate anyway.
online reading and maths programme.
On plus side they just started year 1 you have time to correct it and make transition easier.
mrs z I read it wrong thourght 1 lowest and 9highest
6eing average aa goves high number of points out of possible number of points..
so is lower efys score better as in 13?
sorry if im confused.
Most of dd year even younger ones got
1a/2c at end of year 1.a few got 1b and 1c.
some schools say 1b is fine ours told me dd was below avarage and he was exected a 1a but thik her cohort that year their ere some high achievers.
80 still quite high to me.
9 is the highest mam ...that's the point.
Achieving 9 doesn't guarantee a level 3 in Y2 just as achieving 1 doesn't mean that the child won't go on to exceed expectations.

The Conductor of an Aggressive Symphony (part 1 of 4)
This is the story of a childhood dream…
"I wanna be a rock star." It was the first and only thought after I heard it for the first time — actually, the first time I heard him. Black Dog – John Bonham – changed my life from the very first listen. Nothing before or after that supernatural moment had ever had such a profound effect on me.
I remember the feeling – the static charge that pulsed through me the first time I heard him pounding on a finely tuned set of vintage Ludwig drums. It was the sonic equivalent of smashing an anvil with a fifty pound sledge. It was heavy, it was hard, and it was sensational. I wanted that. I wanted to be John Bonham.
I would fall asleep every night picturing myself on the stage — sluggin' away under the lights — the sound of drums reverberating off the stadium ceiling — the electric shredding of the guitar, and ear-piercing vocals whirling around, driving the crowd deeper into frenzy. I could see it all. I could see myself, there, on that stage – the conductor of an aggressive symphony, threatening to shake the place to a pile of dusty rubble.
The only problem was that I didn't know a lick about playing the drums. Where would I start? I needed a drum set first. I had just started working as a pizza maker, and barely had enough money to keep my car running. Buying one was out of the question. Borrowing one was equally improbable. The only other option was to make one.
For the next couple of evenings after school I worked diligently at building one — the garage floor littered with crude tools, fasteners, and wood shavings. First, I fabricated a foot pedal for the kick drum using a sprinkler pipe, an old spring that I'd found laying around, and a bunch of scrap wood — all of it held together with whatever screws and nails I could find. I set up an old metal dustpan for a hi-hat, and hung several large buckets around my throne. When everything was complete, I positioned the foot pedal in front of a bucket that was set horizontally for a kick drum. Once it was finished I stood back and admired the contraption. It was rather crude-looking, but it would suffice. My pulse quickened as I sat down to play it for the first time. I didn't know what I was doing, but that wasn't about to stop me.
It sounded horrible. Everything about it was laughable, including the guy making all of the noise behind it. The pang of the metal dustpan was enough to set off a car alarm halfway down the street. To add, the pedal that I'd manufactured was as lively as a dead body. It barely moved. The important thing was that it actually worked. I was ecstatic at first, but my joy was short-lived. After a few minutes of mindless noise-making, the rusty spring holding the pedal together snapped in half, causing the whole contraption to fall limp to the floor.
Back to the drawing board.
I messed with it for a period of time, trying out new combinations of pots, pans, suitcases, and buckets –each new combination sounding as awful as the last. I made some improvements to the pedal, which made it only slightly more responsive than a corpse. It just wasn't enough. I needed the real thing. I racked my brain for several days in search of a fix. Then it hit me.
I recalled overhearing a conversation between two guys in one of my classes — something about one of the fellow's dads being a drummer. It was a promising lead. The only problem was that the guy I'd heard it from could easily damage my street-cred if word got out that we were hangin' together. I didn't want that, but I really wanted to play on a real kit. Needless to say, over the course of the semester we became great friends, only nobody really knew about it.
Every afternoon I went to his house and banged away on an expensive drum kit that I didn't know how to play. Just play it like you hear it, I thought to myself. It was an exercise in futility. Sitting behind a real set didn't improve my chops like I'd originally hoped it would. Having a real guitar didn't help his playing either. There we were – huddled together in a dark, musty, storage room in the basement — pretending to be rock stars. The noise that came out of those first jam sessions made me long for the sound of the bucket drums. After a while I decided I just couldn't do it anymore.
My resentment for the guy grew as time passed. I couldn't even stand the sound of his voice, let alone listen to him trying to wail away on an out-of-tune guitar. He actually sounded worse than me. We parted company one day and never talked again after that.
With my tail between my legs I went back to the bucket drums when our brief friendship was over. Coordination is something that takes time to develop. I needed to be mindful of that if I was going to teach myself to play like Bonham. I was determined.
Meanwhile, I started to become a rock-junky, and began pumping my brain full of whatever old stuff I could get my hands on. Roger Taylor, John Densmore, Keith Moon, Bill Ward, Ian Paice, and of course John Bonham – one legendary drummer after another. The more I listened, the more I started to hear music differently. It became much more intricate. I didn't just hear a song anymore – it was much more than that. There were so many sounds and rhythms that would unravel each time I put my headphones on. I remember walking through the hallways between periods, clicking a beat with my teeth. It was if I'd been possessed by it. I was overcome by this new alternate reality.
Every day after school it was back to the buckets. There I'd sit in the garage, working through the frustrations of a starting musician. It was hard. I could hear it now, but still couldn't do it…

Incahoot is a free online group-buying site that provides lots of nice discounts on household bills like broadband, energy and insurance.This in itself is worth a trip to the website, but what I really like is its 'Concierge Service,' which promises to remove the hassle of switching suppliers - for free. Let's face it - no one enjoys the pain of working out the best deal when every single brand on the planet is vying for attention.
Furthermore, research conducted by Incahoot last year revealed that Brits just don't like asking for a better deal, even if they know they're spending too much money. It's not exactly practical when the Government has announced the biggest austerity and cuts programme in recent history.
But back to the Concierge Service.
All people who are looking to switch providers need to do is send in a copy of their latest bill and Incahoot will work out how much money they can save. Sometimes the results can be pretty shocking, but if you're unimpressed there's no pressure to do anything else. But at least you'll know for sure that you're on the right tariffs.
Check out the website to find out where you'll need to send your bills to.

Window Product Information - Shadings, Sheers, Louvers
Window shadings, sheers and light louvers
The most popular and growing category of window covering options include window shadings, sheers and light louvers.
All three of these products are made from fabric and offer the ultimate in light control. Their versatility can provide complete privacy without complete darkness by simply adjusting the vanes for the desired amount of light.
Shadings, sheers, louvers and panels are made with a wide selection of soft fabrics, including opaque and translucent materials.
Both window shadings and sheers consist of soft fabric vanes that are suspended between two sheet fabric facings. Window shadings vanes run horizontally and sheers run vertically. These vanes rotate for a filtered view allowing for complete privacy or anything in between. Both window shadings and sheers are offered in a variety of fabrics ranging in opacity, texture and color.
Window shadings, sheers and louvers are extremely versatile and can be installed in almost any room in the home. These products blend all the advantages of draperies, shades and blinds into one design. Vertical sheers work particularly well on large window patio doors or on window walls.
The elegant and sophisticated looks of these window coverings make them perfect choice for living rooms, dining rooms or bedrooms. They work well in contemporary and traditional settings.
One of the newest window covering designs in this category is light louvers. This new window fashion has a similar look to traditional wood shutters, but has honeycomb louvers that function much like a blind. Light louvers are made of durable fabric and come in either a translucent or room darkening style. Many colors and pattern combinations are available.
These products can be installed with an inside or outside mount depending on the window molding and sill construction. Vertical sheers also come with option of right, left or split stacking configurations.
It is important to note however, that window shadings and sheers may not be the best fit for pet owners. Being a sheer fabric, they may get damaged at the hand of a cat and its claws.

Thanks! CGH
June 7 2011 at 9:34 PM
Response to
great news! what is cgh?
is a form of genetic testing that you can elect to have performed on your embryos. CGH tests all all 23 pairs of chromosomes. PGD is another form of embryonic genetic testing, however, it only examines some of the 23 pairs. If you want more info, there is a long thread further down, dating back 2 or 3 weeks.
We decided to test in order to optimize our chances. Also, we are only tranferring one embryo, because we don't have the bandwidth for twins (or more), so we really want to maximize our chances.
Good luck!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|1 - 7 nights
Beautiful Avista Resort condominium located along Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach. You'll love the ocean and beach views from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. Enjoy the beachy, bright and colorful interior decor. Watch family and friends as they play in the pool or on the beach strand. Amenities include a TV in each bedroom AND living room, DVD player, WIFI internet access, stacked clothes washer/dryer in unit, full kitchen with breakfast bar seating for 2, and a large oceanfront balcony with access from the living room and master bedroom. There are plenty of pool and hot tub options, with an exercise room, and on-site restaurant all available to Ocean Drive Beach Rentals' guests staying at the Avista Resort.
While vacationing at Avista 1120, you'll be in close proximity to the hot entertainment options of Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach. There is plenty to do close by, from shopping and dining to popular attractions and golf.
Condominium is better than most we have stayed in, yet will need a bit of maintenance. That said, nothing to keep you from staying and having s great time!
It was ok for the 2days but I wouldn't have stay a whole week. There's NO privacy on the balcony. It said free wifi yet no one knew how to hook it up. The dryer didn't dry, not one lock worked on any doors, the TVs didn't work bc they needed the internet password. Just everything was outdated. Positive note..it was cheap and the pools were cool. U get what u pay for tho!
Loved the property and the location! Great spot!
Overall our entire group was pleased with Avista 1120. The reservation process was easy. Prior to our arrival date, I had a few questions, which were answered promptly. The check-in & check-out process was smooth and hassle free. I was very pleased with the property management group.
We arrived finding the property clean and prepared for our stay. We prepared several meals on site. Although we found the kitchen to be a bit small, it was fully equipped with everything we needed.
Even in the off season, the resort had many amenities to enjoy. We found everything to be clean and as expected. 1120 is located in the North tower. This information would have been helpful since this was our first stay at the Avista. Inadvertently, parking at the wrong tower when unloading can be troublesome.
It was perfect for our family Fall weekend beach trip.
In Ocean Drive section, close to nightlife, shopping, dining, live music and activities.

Verb is the Word
I'm dusting this off to vent. I've seen the apostrophe mangled all to hell, and now I'm watching as people refuse to understand the concept of verb tense. It's another one of those painfully simple things, but people are even more painfully simple so they just don't bother. It goes like this: he is, they are. Verb tense! More and more, I see this: Sony are apologizing for being bad marketers. No! No no no no no no! Sony is a company. Singular. I don't care if they employ a million people. One entity = singular verb. The crew are working hard to earn vacation days. NO! There is one crew. Again, I don't care if there are a bajillion people in the crew. Single crew = singular verb. It sucks getting old and watching the language die because of laziness. I'm glad I'll be dead before we're back to grunting at cave paintings.

You Blew It, Terra Nova
A show set 85 million years in the past. Dinosaur time. You know what I'd do if I had a show set in the dinosaur-riddled past? I'd show some damn dinosaurs! Holy friggin' crap, how hard is that to figure out? Instead, the show with more children on it than Sesame Street now adds two more little lisping nitwits to the show. Great. Makes sense, though, as I think those kids are the same ones who wrote the script. I've seen more plot twists on a book of matches than in this show. I'm done with it, but should anyone associated with the show happen to stumble drunkenly across this blog I offer the following advice: watch Primeval, and take notes. They show dinosaurs (or some other prehistoric or future critter) multiple times each episode! With no children! It got its seasons expanded because of rabid fans, plus it's getting a spinoff. The only thing spin-worthy about Terra Nova is the water that's swirling around with it in the bowl.

I Hope It's A Coincidence
I'm performing a test to see what food(s) make my gout feel worse. Since meat is a culprit, I'm doing the unthinkable: spending a week meat-free. Yes, really. No, my account hasn't been hacked. We bought Boca burgers, and I made a dish with those and rice, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and some whole grain wrap things. I had that for a couple days, and today we went out to a restaurant with a menu chock-full of meaty goodness and I ordered a black bean burger with a salad. (Really, my account hasn't been hacked. Get off the floor.)
Today is the first day in a couple weeks that I have had no pain in either my toe or knee. I really, really hope it's a coincidence. Next week I'll eat beef and see what happens. Turkey the following week. Not terribly exciting, I know, but necessary.
Oh yeah... Deb is not partaking of this experiment, and I wouldn't expect her to. She still gets to eat normal food. Lucky.

You Gouta Be Kidding
I've adjusted my diet in order to combat high cholesterol. Just a part of being 40+, I guess. Little did I know that in so doing, I was eating a bunch of things that trigger a gout attack. I had also cut out things that helped stave off an attack. Neat. I guess I'm down to three choices: eat for my cholesterol and deal with the pain and occasional limping, eat for my gout and maybe have a heart attack sooner rather than later, or switch to a vegetarian diet and kill myself inside of a week. Oh yeah... through the magic of the intertubes, I learned that cherries have some sort of mystical voodoo property that helps to reduce swelling from gout and other types of arthritis. That's great, because cherries are delicious! (I keep saying that in an attempt to keep from vomiting as I force them down.) Cherries are like most other vegetables and fruits to me, in that they evoke the same mental image whenever I eat them. It's an image I'll share with you now for your dining and dancing pleasure. Picture a decent-sized beetle. The size of your thumbnail or so. Now imagine the sounds and the sensations that flood your senses when you step on that beetle. The squishy crunch, the goo oozing from the shattered carapace. Now take that packet of sensations and put them in your mouth. Now go eat a salad, or as I like to call it, a bowl full of beetles. Sure, it's a delicacy to some. Some freaks.
So, yeah, vegetarianism isn't really in the cards for me. Beetletarianism, absolutely. Crunchy and delicious.

Survivor Pawn Housewife Bachelor Idol Factor
"You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion."

The Mrs. and I got our hearing tested today. One of the nifty things about Tucson is the overabundance of medical places that enjoy teasing the populace with free stuff. Despite the joyful whistling/ringing of tinnitus that's significantly less enjoyable than holiday chimes pealing away in my head 24/7, the ear lady said I have excellent hearing. (That's what I heard, anyway.) Deb has slight hearing loss, but that's only when I ask her to make me chocolate chip cookies. Doesn't impact her too much, and it helps keep me on my diet. Grumpy, sure, but that happens with or without cookies.

ACES & YMCA host Parent Cafe
Sponsored by the Avon Coalition for Every Student.
Through a collaborative effort of community-spirited individuals, agencies,
businesses and organizations, Avon Coalition for Every Student (ACES)
seeks partnerships to foster efforts to reduce youth substance abuse and
promote positive, healthy decisions by young people in Avon.
ACES has funding available to bring in speakers for parents and to help start a regular parent café.
Parent café's are where once a month, parents come out to discuss (with other parents) topic that
may concern them and their kids.
This is a way for parents to meet other parents and also hear about ways to help their kids stay
healthy. The YMCA will facilitate the discussions and also watch any of the kids for free. The YMCA is
able to do the parent cafes following the aftercare program so parents would not have to come back
out, but just stay for an hour when they pick up their kids.

Only two weekends remain before the annual Aloha Festival at the Presidio, but that's no reason to wait for a free Hawaiian-style party in San Francisco: This Sunday, July 25, the first Aloha Fillmore festival will bring island music, arts and crafts, plate lunches and raffle prizes to the Fillmore Center Plaza, followed by an after-party with more music at neighboring Yoshi's.
The festival, from 11:30 am. to 4 p.m. in the plaza (Fillmore at O'Farrell), includes hourlong performances by the venerable Island Blend (starting at noon), the dancers of Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu performing some of the troupe's most popular production numbers from its 25 years (1:30 p.m.), and the traditional Hawaiian band Ho'omana (3 p.m.) Longtime Ho'omana member Clinton Kaleikini passed away last week, according to festival co-organizer Joycelyn Sprague, who noted the three remaining members wanted to perform as a tribute to Kaleikini. Island Blend's Lono Mahi will also act as emcee.
As they play, you can browse the Hawaiian pillows and textile art at the Noho Nani Mai booth, the painted gourds (ipu) of Jerome Espiritu, the painted glass of Janie Revelo, etched glass by U'i Campana, Hawaiian-themed items from Aloha Crafts and plumeria and candy lei from Hi'iaka Florists/Novelty Lei. Acupuncturist Malia King, who specializes in treating the kinds of aches and pains hula dancers and 'ukulele players have, among other ailments, will provide her services during the event.
And since it wouldn't be a Hawaiian event without food, San Francisco's Hukilau, which has been busy spicing up its menu with the help of Maui's Da Kitchen, will have a booth selling plate lunches (kalua pig, laulau, kalbi), while the Kilohana Outrigger Canoe Club will offer Spam musubi, shave ice and soft drinks. Nearby Bruno's Pizzeria will feature a special of a large Hawaiian pizza and any two draft beers for $19.95 from 3 to 5 p.m. Another Fillmore neighbor, Fat Angel, will serve $5 drafts of Kona Brewing Company's Wailua Wheat Beer (an excellent summer suds, if I do say so.)
Raffle prizes for the inaugural event include opening night tickets to Nā Lei Hulu's 25th anniversary production at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, which runs Oct. 16-17 and 22-24; tickets to see Cecilio & Kapono at Yoshi's Sept. 12, gift baskets and tickets to the after-party at Yoshi's, which includes a performance by Aloha Brewed and special island drinks. After-party tickets will also be available for $5.
It all sounds like a wonderful way to wind down the weekend — and a good warmup for the Aug. 7-8 Aloha Festival, even if the fog fails to lift.

Where's Bishop Wingle?
May 10, 2010
Church officials in Canada say they are unaware of the whereabouts of Bishop James Wingle, who resigned as Bishop of St. Catharines (Ontario) on April 7 at the age of 63.
"He's out of the country-- that's all we know," said Father Thomas Rosica, CEO of the Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation and Television Network. "Where? God only knows."
"If you find out [where he is], tell me," said Christine Choury, director of the communications service of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Father Rosica told the Toronto Star that Msgr. Wayne Kirkpatrick, who now administers the Diocese of St. Catharines, told him that "maybe in the future he'll resurface, and we'll know where he is."
At the time of his resignation, Bishop Wingle was described in the local press as a "staunch public defender of Catholic orthodoxy."
"My decision to offer my resignation was the result of a long and intense process of prayer and reflection," he had said in a statement. "The duties of the office of a diocesan bishop call for vigorous stamina to meet the challenges of leadership. I am no longer able to maintain the necessary stamina to fulfil properly my duties. I believe that my resignation will serve not only my own spiritual and personal wellbeing, but the good of the diocese and the Church as well."
"If my shortcomings and limitations have caused any disappointment, I ask for God's mercy and your understanding."

Ian McKellen may quit 'The Hobbit'July 6th, 2010 - 2:57 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, July 6 (ANI): Sir Ian McKellen has revealed that he may quit the role of Gandalf in 'The Hobbit'.
The actor said he wants to focus on other plays following his work on 'Waiting For Godot'.
"Well I'm not under contract and my time is running out and I'm enjoying working in the theatre and frankly, I would like to race after doing 'Waiting For Godot', get on with doing another play but we'll have to see. I don't give the producers the impression that I'm sitting waiting," Contactmusic quoted McKellen as saying.
He also claimed in a discussion with New Zealand's 'Good Morning' show that an upcoming announcement would reveal the production situation with the movie. (ANI)

I'm trying to solve the issue of no sound on my laptop here. It's a Latitude D510. All was fine but have just recently had to get a new main board installed. Sinced I got it back there has been no sound. Any ideas? Is it a simple case of downloading a driver and if so, which one?
Presuming you're running XP, download and then install the chipset driver on the D510
<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>
Download and install the audio driver:
Have done what you suggested but unfort I still have no sound whatsoever...Have tried everything I could think of...
In fact I have just seen that I can get sound through the headphones..so obviously this is a speaker issue. Any ideas??
No joy there either..all the speakers are on
Zanyakav and europa303,
Because there was recent work performed on the computer and the audio does work through the output jack, I wonder if the connection to the speakers is loose. I am not familiar with the innards of the D510, but generally if you remove the keyboard you should be able to see the cable to the palm rest. On models where the speakers are in the palm rest, the cable must be fully seated for the speakers to work. There might be other places where a connection could be loose; I'm not a technician, just speculating.

You can find plenty of posts from Linux advocates decrying fragmentation.
The diversity of Linux doesn't seem to matter on tablets, routers, super computers, wrist watches, space stations and a plethora of other things.
Tablets are all using the same Android base, even Kindle and Nook tablets. So they basically use the same distro with some API and UI differences, they aren't fighting each other over basics like sound APIs or program folder locations. Android tablets also have a proprietary friendly software deployment system. Linux distros are still built with the assumption that everything is open source.
Servers and space stations are managed by experts and don't have the same requirements as consumer devices. Wristwatches and toys only require a very slim command line Linux base that doesn't need to be updated.
It's just on the desktop that it fights an uphill battle against the incumbent OS supplier.
Having hundreds of distros results in redundant work. That's an inescapable fact. Now if all those distros had a specific purpose it might be justifiable but the vast majority are general purpose desktops.
The incumbent OS supplier already dropped the ball with Vista and Linux wasn't there to return. Windows 8 won't be any different.
The problem is not Windows, it is Linux. The desktop isn't ready for mainstream use and is in fact too late for the party. Android with a mouse and keyboard will be as close as it gets.
The fragmentation is not in the number of Distro's. All distributions are in essence (re)packaging of upstream code (in that sense there is only minimal duplication of effort). They are all source compatible.
The fragmentation sits at the library level. There is no common target base, but this is a failure in consensus and collaboration, not in the number of distro's. Of course killing all distro's but one would solve this problem instantly (nobody is confused about the direction under a dictator), but it would also destroy the beneficial variety in the distro ecosphere.
That Linux doesn't make significant inroads when MS falters, isn't because e.g. Ubuntu isn't ready for the desktop. It's because Linux isn't used to push affordable and believable desktop systems to the consumer. There are a few vendors like ZaReason, System76 with halfway comparable systems to Windows machines, but you also pay a premium for them. Then we have some small community projects like KDE's vivaldi tablet or Linux Mint's mintBox.
The systems of dedicated sellers like ZaReason and System76 are overpriced from a consumer perspective. The smaller community projects have the right idea with smaller, more affordable machines, but they don't have reach.
If a systems manufacturer/vendor could produce something like a mintBox, be it x86 or ARM based, complete with a (modest) screen and mouse + keyboard for an affordable price and push this in the market as the affordable, hassle free Everyman's PC, I think it could have a shot. But it would need to be marketed right and the vendor should have a long term plan.
You stopped describing linux as soon as you said "hassle free everyman's pc". That is not what linux is in most cases, especially for people new to linux. There's always a steady flow of users trying to fix something that broke either seemingly by itself or via "updating". I'm not saying anything new though. Why linux isn't successful as a desktop, and why it's not even close to being ready to be has been discussed to death many times over. The linux desktop continues to be in the same old rut and we continue to have the exact same conversation about it. And that will probably continue to be true for the foreseeable future. future.

Chelsea FC goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has urged Petr Cech to remain at Stamford Bridge as he looks to learn from the Czech international.
Jose Mourinho opted to start with Thibaut Courtois in the opening match against Burnley in the Premier League and the Belgium international looks to have replaced Petr Cech as the number one in the squad this season. This has put a lot of questions over Cech's future at Stamford Bridge with rumours linking him with a move away from the club before the end of this transfer window, but Courtois has urged the 32-year-old to extend his stay as he looks to learn for the experienced custodian.
Cech has been a regular at Chelsea since his move from Rennes in 2004. He has made 470 appearances for the Blues in the last 10 seasons at Stamford Bridge and has won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, one Champions League and one Europa League during this period. But reports suggest that the 32-year-old could be headed for exit, following the likes of Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, from the London club this summer, as he is unlikely to play second fiddle to Courtois at this point of his career.
His agent Viktor Kolar recently revealed that that they have been in contact with both PSG and Monaco, and insisted that he will also contact Barcelona and Real Madrid if Chelsea looks to sell Cech.
Belgium international Thibaut Courtois returned to Stamford Bridge this season, ending his three-year spell at Atletico Madrid. The 22-year-old has made tremendous progress during his stint in Spain and is widely considered as one of the best in the World currently. Courtois produced some stunning performances for Atletico Madrid last season as the Madrid based side went on to win the La Liga and reached the final of the Champions League.
Courtois though has urged Cech to extend his stay at the club as he looks to learn for the Czech goalkeeper.
"I want him to stay. Even if he doesn't play he can be a lot of help to me in training,
"I can still learn from him because he has a lot of experience, he can give me good tips about the Premier League, things I might not know at the start.
"He is nice to me. We are training very well and he is still proving he is a great goalkeeper.
"For the team it is better for us to have two good goalkeepers. I don't have a problem if he stays. Hopefully I can play well and stay in the team." – Courtois said.
The Belgium international is pleased that the club has showed faith in him and he now wants to prove them right by performing at his best this season.
"Always when you are here you have pressure to perform because you are playing in a top team.
"There is always a pressure to win games and to be important and I am trying to do that in every game that I play.
"I came here obviously to play. I know that Petr is a great goalkeeper so there is a lot of competition, but when you come back from a successful loan you hope to play.
"Otherwise, it would maybe have been better for me to go to another team.
"It is nice that he put faith in me and it is for me now to prove his faith is right.
"I need to work hard in every training session and game to gain the confidence of my team-mates and the manager." – The Chelsea goalkeeper added.

Joe Torre and SI's Tom Verducci recently penned 'The Yankee Years', a book that provided a glimpse into the challenges that a manager on a high-profile team must endure – the pressure to succeed, the delicate balance of egos, the difficulties in finding relievers that can pitch 120 games a year and still perform in the postseason, etc. Please, blog, may I have some more?Please, blog, may I have some more?

What happens in two years time when your contrib membership runs out? You have to re-apply. OK, but you want to re-apply before your membership runs out, maybe a month or some beforehand.
