3 Shanghai Theme Cafes You Should Hit Up Before You Die
Every city has its share of theme cafes, but in Shanghai they're on every corner. And people can't seem to put their finger on them. Are they novel concepts redefining the city's cuisine scene or yet another cheap gimmick to cash in on nouveau riche Shanghainese sensibilities? We decided to separate the wheat from the kitsch by reviewing several theme cafes every week for a month. Here goes....
Zoo Coffee
Zoo Coffee is where you imagine all those Shanghaiers who still wear panda hats at 35 go for their morning latte. In accordance with its name, this watering hole features a menagerie of naturalistic stuffed animals from giraffes to gorillas. Think if Sumerian coffee mated with a Natural History Museum's gift shop. Don't have a date? Eat with Babar on Cialis....
Zoo's selection of fare isn't half-bad either with every coffee drink from A to Z, croque monsieurs, and a Berry Berry Waffle, a hulking breakfast nosh divided into four quadrants. We were especially partial to their toast squares, which were so big and fluffy they could be used to break the fall of a building jumper. No need to make a cross-town pilgrimage to Zoo; throw a rock in any direction and you're bound to hit one.

Line Cafe
You'd think basing an entire cafe around a Japanese messaging app with an innocuous green logo would be a tall order -- on par with making a successful movie based on Disneyland's Pirates Of The Caribbean ride. They've managed to make a successful movie based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Line (or whoever's behind the concept) basically took all its emojis, blew them up into life-size figurines and stuffed them inside a cafe. All your favorite characters make cameos here, including Moon (a manjū-headed man who loves the moon), Cony (a rabbit who likes dieting) and Leonard, an alleged moon-gazing frog that looks more like he's perpetually peeping on someone relieving themselves at the urinal next to him (below). Think 4Chan's Pepe The Frog with a side of Wasabi. They even have a gift shop where you can purchase all of them in stuffed animal form.
The food is not nearly as vibrant as the atmosphere: cloying red velvet cakes, saccharine lattes and a burger so plain it evoked something they'd serve at a diner at a nuclear test town in New Mexico. Oh, and it comes with tortilla chips for some reason. But if Line users want to stroke their nostalgia boners, there's no better place.

Pirate Jack
When we learned of a pirate-themed restaurant in Shanghai, we pictured a DVD cart that also served food. Thankfully, that was not the case. Pirate Jack's is essentially if the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride were a restaurant with a two-story fake cavern plastered with pirate paraphernalia galore from cutlass-toting Long John Silver statues to pirate ship-inspired food vessels. And the staff are dressed as, you guessed it, buccaneers. Well give them an A for flair. The first time we walked in we thought they were speaking Beijing Hua; they were actually practicing their "arrrrrrrrrs."
Pirate Jack offers a veritable treasure trove of dishes seemingly pillaged from every mall restaurant ever. Craving mango pizza, king crab, and American-style baby back ribs with a side of Japanese hotpot? They've got you covered! We'll give them credit; most of the seafood comes live in tanks rather than thawed from the permafrost like you'd expect at a congruent venue in the US. Wash it all down with yohoho and a 4-liter tower of Stella Artois....
Coat hanger abortions? No, Captain Hook-themed kebabs!
Unfortunately, the fare was, for the most part, 'bland ho.' The calamari rings on our surf-n-turf "squid, pork and skewer plate" (above) tasted like Live Strong bands and the rest weren't exactly smoothed sailing. The sausage platter was jumble of savory Polish-style wieners and sweet Taiwanese sausage whose flavors dueled in your mouth like pirate cutlasses. Pro tip: stick with the fried rice.
The pirate theme also extended to the bill which was a whopping 400RMB for a measly three dishes and a beer tower. We recommend striking this kitsch ship off your bucket list before they scuttle 'er.

U.S. equities rose by 10 percent in the final three months of 2013, producing a wealth effect that should pay dividends in 2014. Although the unwinding of inventory that built up in the third quarter is expected to be a drag on fourth quarter economic growth, consensus estimates for fourth quarter GDP growth have risen recently to 2 percent. Improving economic performance should translate into greater confidence, making investors comfortable with more risk, suggesting strong U.S. stock market performance in the coming months.
This cycle is now mature, but expansions do not die of old age. Instead, recessions are generally sparked by an exogenous event or a policy mistake. With little expectation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates before 2015, the expansion could continue for several more years. Even when the Fed does eventually hike rates, it typically takes another two years before the economy tips into recession.
The upper limit for 10-year U.S. Treasury yields in the coming months should be around 3.4 percent. With long-term yields rising faster than short-term yields, the yield curve has steepened over the past month and now appears consistent with the better economic momentum we're seeing in the United States.
The environment for corporate credit feels similar to 2004 - 2005, when interest rates rose modestly, but credit spreads continued to contract, leaving absolute yields relatively flat. If that trend repeats itself this year, then there should be continued opportunities in spread products.
The start of the New Year appears to be a great time for investors, who should take advantage of opportunities presented over the next three to six months.
Reduced Fiscal Drag in Advanced Economies
Major advanced economies (with the notable exception of Japan) should in 2014 have significantly less fiscal policy drag on growth. Leading the way is the United States, where sequester-mandated budget cuts will decrease and the effects of higher payroll taxes should diminish. The euro zone should also benefit as budgetary austerity fades. Britain should also have a slightly smaller fiscal drag. Overall it's a rosier picture for global growth in 2014, as economies around the world should benefit from faster growth, especially since demand is improving in advanced economies that make up over 40 percent of global GDP.

Exclusive Analysis
February 14, 2017
Michael Flynn's resignation as National Security Adviser Feb. 13 was a catastrophe for the Middle East. He charted a US-Russian partnership whose core objective was to clip Iran's wings as premier Middle East power conferred by Barack Obama.
DEBKA Weekly
January 26, 2017
Syria stands on the threshold of dramatic changes that will directly impact on the strategic and military situation along the Syrian borders with Israel and Jordan, debkafile reports exclusively. They derive from a deal struck this week by US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to establish US, Russian and Turkish security zones in Syria. This scheme will transfer military control of the country to those three powers and require Iranian and pro-Iranian forces to leave. More about this in the latest DEBKA Weekly (for subscribers).

January 15, 2017
debkafile reveals exclusively that a combined US, Russian, Syrian and Jordanian force is preparing for a major operation to liberate the Syrian heritage town of Palmyra from the Islamic State. More about this in DEBKA Weekly

Moscow and Washington realize they can't rely on Syrian or Iraqi troops to follow through in any major offensive against ISIS in Raqqa or Mosul and so they are moving forward in slow steps.
Exclusive Analysis
March 27, 2016
Vladimir Putin after all took the momentous decision for Russian carpet bombing to level the Islamic State forces holding Palmyra since last May and so clear the way for Bashar Assad's troops and allied forces to enter the heritage city Saturday and Sunday, March 26-27 and take control of several districts. He acted more in Moscow's interest than in the Syrian ruler's. Palmyra's fall would consolidate and expand Russia's grip on Syria.
Exclusive Report
March 24, 2016
Putin is punishing Assad for obstructing a Syrian political solution in Geneva by holding back air support from his army's operations until he toes the line.
Exclusive Report
March 10, 2016
Tehran was seriously affronted by the Putin-Obama rapprochement and most of all by Moscow's consent to a Syrian ceasefire ahead of winding down the war, in place of their original deal for Russian intervention to support the war until Bashar Assad was victorious.
Exclusive Analysis
March 5, 2016
Turkey and Saudi Arabia have taken separate steps to break free from Washington's dictates on the Syrian issue and show their resistance to Russia's highhanded intervention in Syria. They are moving on separate tracks to signal their defiance and frustration with the exclusive pact between Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin which ostracizes Riyadh and Ankara on the Syrian question. Turkey, saddled with three million Syrian refugees, is desperate for a no-fly, security zone to shelter them on Syrian soil.
Exclusive Report
March 3, 2016
Putin's "ceasefire" military plans bring the Syrian army and Hizballah ever closer to the Turkish border and will repeat the same exercise for asserting control of the Israeli border in the south.
Special Report
February 12, 2016
An agreement for the cessation of hostilities in Syria was announced in Munich early Friday, Feb. 12. This accord, defined by Secretary of State John Kerry as "words on paper" subject to implementation, provided a formal framework for the existing US-Russian military collaboration in Syria, and a stamp for the secret Obama-Putin deal concluded in December for ending the war and shaping Syria's future
Special Report
February 6, 2016
The five-year old Syrian civil war faces its most critical moment. Saturday, Feb. 6, a combined force of Syrian army and Hizballah troops and an Iraqi Shiite militia under Iranian officers, were led by Russian air and Spetsnaz (special forces) officers into pressing forward to encircle 35,000 rebels trapped in Aleppo, the country's largest city. The biggest refugee exodus of the Syrian war is blocked at the Turkish border. Moscow hints it will fight off any US, Saudi or Turkish interference.
Exclusive Report
February 4, 2016
The US and Russia have mobilized Britain, France, Germany and Holland for their coming air blitz to burn the ISIS Raqqa HQ in Syria to the ground – preferably by July 1. First they are acting to cut off ISIS escape route to Mosul.
Exclusive Report
January 25, 2016
The US and Russia are in the process of a military buildup in the Kurdish areas of northern Syria. It is ranged along a narrow strip of land 85 km long, stretching from Hassakeh in the east up to the Kurdish town of Qamishli on the Syrian-Turkish border. Facing them from across that border is a parallel buildup of Turkish strength. This highly-charged convergence of three foreign armies along a tense borderland is reported here by debkafile's military sources. It is too soon to determine whether the three are operating in sync or at odds.
Exclusive Report
January 23, 2016
President Barack Obama resolved earlier this month, much to the surprise of Washington insiders, to open a third anti-terror front in Libya to eradicate the Islamic Front's tightening grip on the country. This top-secret decision was first revealed by DEBKA Weekly 692 on Jan. 1. For this campaign, he formed a new coalition with Russia and EU governments. This weekend, the first US, Russian, French and Italian Special Forces quietly landed at a point south of Tobruk, after 1,000 British SAS troops had prepared the ground.
Exclusive Report
January 21, 2016
To save the nuclear accord, the US must fight Iran's avowed mistrust and resist its attempts to collaborate with Russia to push the United States out of the Middle East.
Exclusive Analysis
December 21, 2015
The northern Syria battlefield close to the Turkish border will have a greater impact on determining Syria's future than any Security Council resolution. A very large mixed bag of combatants consists of Russia, the Kurdish YPG militia, most of the important rebel groups - including radical Sunni organizations tied to Al Qaeda, such as the Nusra Front and Ahram al-Sham - not to mention Iran and Shiite Hizballah and the jihadist Islamic State. So long as no one gains the upper hand, there will be progress in the talks starting next month for ending the war.
Exclusive Report
December 17, 2015
While the chief of staff wants to focus on fighting ISIS because he believes that the Russian presence in Syria will keep Israel safe from Iran and Hizballah, the defense minister wants to smash Assad to break the Iranian-Hizballah collaboration against Israel as the greater peril. |

There was a time—maybe seven, eight years ago—when a blues rock guitarist stood a decent chance of garnering some radio airplay on an open-minded rock station. Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ian Moore, Chris Duarte—all of them had at least one biggish radio hit ("Lie to Me", "Blue on Black", "Muddy Jesus", and "Cleopatra", respectively) that could have and should have vaulted them into the mainstream. But then, somewhere along the line, classic rock radio shunned new rock and modern rock stations weren't about to stop spinning rap rock. These blues guitarist found radio to be an unwilling partner. They've kept busy, but it's just a different scene. Lang is releasing his first album in five years, Shepherd hasn't been heard from since 1999's Live On, Ian Moore was last heard orbiting the earth with a live album, Satellite, and Chris Duarte now has his latest, Romp. Free of radio airplay concerns, these artists can experiment and indulge their muse, but one romp through Romp, and you may find yourself wishing that Duarte's muse provided more than half-an-album's worth of material.
Romp's A-side is exactly what a fun blues rock album should be, circa 2003: album opener "Do the Romp" is a rollicking slice of joyous fuzz, every bit the equal to Duarte's best tunes from the '90s, and featuring a noisy coda that suggests Duarte and the ladyfriend he is wooing in the song are, in fact, doing the romp. The instrumental "101" zips along like the bullet train, with only bassist John Jordan keeping the song on the tracks. The song reminds listeners why instrumentals are Duarte's forte—besides showcasing his guitar wizardry and otherworldly knack for pulling blues hooks out of his back pocket, instrumentals also give his so-so voice a rest. (Hey, the majority of folks buy records like Romp for the guitarwork, and Duarte delivers the goods.) Especially impressive is "Like Eric", Duarte's tribute to unimpeachable axe-slinger Eric Johnson. Duarte, in a move that bespeaks his musical virtuosity, does a fantastic job mimicking Johnson's recognizable guitar sound. Those hip to the scene will find the tune hilarious; everyone else can marvel at Duarte's fine fretwork.
"My, My" is some fine, scuffed-up blues, that only suffers a little from odd productions choices by Dennis Harring (note: nix the fuzzy, cavernous drums). But that's a minor complaint compared to those lodged against Romp's B-side. A cover of Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee" (from 1976's Desire) never coalesces, and it takes six-and-a-half minutes for it not to do so. Yes, I realize Duarte is singing a Dylan song, so my beef here could be groundless, but the shortcomings in Duarte's voice are at their most apparent on the tune. Ditto for the noirish "Last Night", where Duarte half-speaks lyrics like "I saw the devil last night" for 10 minutes while all kinds of dissonant guitar skronk and intermittent string-plucking burble behind him. Such a stunt might work for a master atmospherist like, say, Tom Waits, but in Duarte's hands the song just comes off as overindulgent.
And speaking of Waits, Duarte's "Mr. Neighbor" cribs from his "What's He Building?" in telling the tale of an oddball recluse neighbor. Romp's press packet notes that the song is "informed by Duarte's admiration for the writing of Elvis Costello", and I suppose it wouldn't sound out of place on a Bizarro-world edition of Brutal Youth. Really, though, the song shows that Duarte is out of his element when he's not performing straightforward blues-rock.
It all ends with a half-baked gospel number, "Take It to the Lord", an admirable-enough attempt that could have benefited from more polish. I'm not calling for the mandatory creative stagnation of Chris Duarte, banishing him to some universe where he's forced to re-record his earlier gems like Texas Sugar/Strat Magik and Tailspin Headwhack every year until his death; Duarte's at his best when he delivers a solid, dependable blues rock album, and Romp is only that for half an album.

Ed Sheeran Superfan Couple Names Baby After Ed Sheeran
On Thursday, the British singer shared a letter he received from a couple who just welcomed their sixth child. But it's not just any ordinary child.
This baby is named Edelle Elizabeth Lindsey, or "Eddie."
After attending a special Ed Sheeran event in NYC (which included a special one-hour serenade from the singer), the couple got inspired and became pregnant with their first girl.
"Had we not had that break she would not exist. We want to thank you for literally changing our lives for the best in a single night!" the letter continues.
"This is the most heartwarming letter I have read. I love it x," Sheeran wrote on Instagram, along with a capture of the letter.
So the next time you find yourself searching for the perfect baby name, turn to your favorite singers for inspiration. Tell them about it. And maybe it will warm their little hearts.
Sheeran's second studio album, x, drops June 23.

Maybe when Google finally builds their multi-level ultra-Green building over on Shoreline and Charleston (Web Link) they can include a gigantic soap box derby ramp that goes east over the Stevens Creek Trail and exits onto Moffett Field. It could then be similar to the fireman poles Google has in their buildings now and be used by their employees for efficient and easy access to their new 1.2 million square foot complex to be built over at Moffett Field (Web Link).

The travel ban in Madison County has been extended.
Dozens of vehicles were left abandoned on Routes 12 and 49 in Oneida County and on Route 5 in Herkimer County during yesterday's snowstorm.
Winter Storm Stella is not only causing a headache on the roads, it has now caused property damage to Utica College. It was confirmed by the college that the Sports Dome has collapsed.
A travel ban is in place for all of Madison County and you may be arrested if you're on the roads.
Winter Storm 'Stella' battered the Northeast and dumped tons of snow from Pennsylvania and New York all the way up through New Hampshire and Maine. We've taken a time-lapse video of the snow piling up in Central New York.

As I've nearly completed all the French infantry flags from Minden which I planned to do I thought I'd continue the focus on the French by starting a little project to do most of the French infantry flags from Rossbach. It was certainly not one of the glory days for the French army but one pleasant advantage of this project for me is that instantly some are done already, as a few regiments at Minden were also at Rossbach! Rossbach also gives me chance to draw some of the Swiss infantry flags, which I particularly like and which have not featured on this blog before. If I find the energy and time I may even do some of the German French infantry flags, which on the whole are rather more complex and elaborate than those of the native French infantry so require much more work. I've so far avoided doing those for Minden, as some of you may have noticed.
I've also been thinking about possible new uniform templates. I've not done any for a long time, having lacked the inspiration, time and energy. If anyone has any ideas for templates they'd like to see then please leave your suggestion(s) and I'll see what's possible or tickles my interest. I won't promise to do all those suggested but it will help if you give me some ideas. Thanks!
[Update Sunday 17th November: Well, it seems that at the moment there's no interest in new uniform templates! That saves me some work, anyway... ]

Sounds good Dave, are you game enough to tackle the Rossbach Reich Army Flags at a later date?

Do you mean "Am I willing to put lots of effort into complicated flags about which there's much contentious debate and little reliable information?" ;-)
Thanks for commenting.

I just purchased some 15mm French Old Glory units that are intended for Rossbach, so this is really good news. Two are Swiss, two are German and the remaining three are French, so I also hope you do the German. Your flags are great!

Hi Bill,
Thanks; glad you like them. :-)
I'll be posting more soon - and yes, I would like to do some of the German flags...

Are new builders of Imagi-Nations too lazy to use your templates, or are they unaware of their existence? Then, many 'fictional' Maurice campaigns simply use historical armies fielded under another name.
When Eureka issues the Grassin cavalry, a template would be precious for Imagi-Native rulers. The same if and when their new '18th C. female soldiers' Sandras (Eureka100 Club) reach production? - 20 November 2013 at 17:22
- David said...
Hi Jean-Louis,
Yes, I wonder sometimes too! A Grassin cavalryman is certainly something I can do. Not quite sure how I'd approach the Sandras though - perhaps simply using the pre-existing templates would work rather than needing to produce new ones with breasts! As you know, I prefer to produce historical uniforms that can then be used as ImagiNation-ers see fit...
Thanks for commenting.

You provided uniform templates for all Lace Wars types available in miniatures of wargaming size -and more, far more. Hence the lack of interest for new templates; once new types (historical or not) become available, people will want the corresponding template(s).
- 23 November 2013 at 08:40
- David said...
Hi Jean-Louis,
Yes, you're probably right about that! It's perhaps also the way that templates on the blog are not so easy to see or find, especially for people new to the blog. I'm planning some web pages to display the templates better but it's a slow business organising them.
I've made a start on the Grassin cavalryman but it will take a while to finish...
All the best,
David. - 23 November 2013 at 14:17

Joe Magnarelli - "Our Love Is Here To Stay"
Joe Magnarelli was born 1960, in Syracuse, NY. At the age of 12 he started to play the piano at home by ear, and a few months later started formal guitar and trumpet lessons in school. His early musical experience came playing the trumpet and guitar in church, through grammar school and high school, and then in college Joe was the pianist and choir director at the Central Baptist Church in Syracuse, NY. Joe was also a high school varsity basketball player and played two years of college basketball at Onondaga Comm. College. In 1982 Joe got his bachelors degree from Fredonia St. University, and in 1986 moved to New York City to pursue a career in music.
In 1990 Joe finished as a semifinalist at the Thelonious Monk competition. Joe's credits include working on the bands of Lionel Hampton, Jack McDuff, Toshiko Akioshi, John Hendricks, and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Orchestra. In 1994 recorded his first record for Criss Cross Jazz, "Why Not." Since then Joe has recorded three more records for Criss Cross as a leader and numerous records as a sideman. Currently Joe works as a freelance trumpeter, frequently playing in clubs around the New York area, as well as performing and teaching all over the world.

What this means is you can look to the right side of the screen while playing Dig-Dug and see your score grow and post. I know it's a little thing, but really- it does help the game feel more like you're playing an actual arcade machine than a home television.
This package contains the major hits that most fans are after.

The biggest issue most gamers will have with this package is the obvious lack of the original control input devices, like the steering wheel for "Pole Position," or an arcade-joystick for "Pac-Man."

Valves glow fierce
When I turn on my little valve amp, a couple of the valves instantly light up fiercesomly bright, then dim down to normal, and the amp works as it should.
can any one give any advice as to what to do to stop this? it started when I moved the volume pot. the amp is (I think) a New Zealand made Fountain brand (from a radio gram maybe, its just a chassis, with a front pannel) 10watt per channel push pull running EL 86's looks the same circuit as my old Fountain Gemsonic 10-10 (if anyone is familiar to that circuit) Thanks alot, Matt |

Hi Slinkylink,
Can you show us a picture? I should be an easy circuit to trace the schematic. I don't even know what all the tubes are , so it's hard to give you a hand. -Chris |

diyAudio Moderator Emeritus
That is normal behaviour for certain tubes. My d3a's light up like a chrismas tree and then fade to normal.
I think a dc supply with a current source would stop that. But there is no need to in the case of say the d3a's. |

I have one of them kicking around somewhere. PP ECL86 with 2x EF86s IIRC.
If its a white flash at the base of the valve, and its a mullard one, then nothing to worry about. Happens with a lot of 9-pin valves. Main problem with my fountain amp was the anode (big grey metal bit) of the valves started glowing a dull red after about 30 seconds. Sounded pretty good up till then I thought it might be leaky caps so I changed every single cap in the damn thing, and lots of resistors. However it was some kind of oscillation I think. Its in the pile somewhere... |

Moved the volume pot in which way?
Otherwise, as others said, it is normal. However, if you have never seen it before the volume pot move... Let us know how you moved it. What do you mean by this? Gabe

It's got a real higgledy-piggledy lot of valves in it, there are a number of mullards (an ECC83, 2x EF86 and two of the output valves (ECL86))
but the other two ECL86's are TESA and Telefunken (I think, most of the silk screening has come off the tubes. But the types are printed on the chassis of the amp. the other thing I'd been told, is that its bad to run a tube amp with no load on it? I was just wondering weather it is alright to run it with a 10:1 voltage divider so I can use it as a pre-amp? or if I can just tap straight on the output from the preamp valves without running a load on the output stage? it use to be a tuner amp, but I removed all the tuner components, and moved the volume control from next to the tuning dial, to the center of the chassis (it was the stereo/mono switch, now hardwired on stereo), and I've just rememberd that I'd also replaced the two rectifier diodes (the old ones burnt out) but I'm sure it worked fine when I'd done that for a while.

this is what its like now.
the volume is in the middle. |
13th September 2005, 06:31 AM | #8 |
diyAudio Member
this is what it was like, the volume control is the one on the top right.
so a relitivly simple thing to have changed, I thought? |

DON'T run it without a load on the output transformers, you may get a lightshow that destryos tubes and OPTs.
If you want a preamp, buy a 1960s table radio or reel-to-reel recorder, grab the power transformer. Use a metal box from jaycar and build one, using ECC88 or 6SN7. If I wasnt in th UK I could send you some stuff If you want a power amp, rebuild what you have. Those fountains do actually sound quite good. I seriously doubt you would have damaged the thing by changing the volume control. As posted already, a bright flash at turn on isn't too big a deal... Buy a new set of ECL86s, change any out of spec components, and use the thing every day. |

Ahhhh. Love the sound of rusty iron! Just kidding!
Well, the only thing I can think of is that since you've removed much of the original circuitry (more than just the volume control has moved, I see), the 6 volt tap is now providing much more current to cold heaters. The initial resistance, if memory serves, of cold heaters is very low. So maximum current is drawn/supplied. That is why the flash. But again, not a real problem. As for running the amp without a load, better to just remove the output transformers and tubes. Or really just the output tubes. Gabe

To promote gerontological research in South Australia, the Australian Association of Gerontology SA Division is offering an award to researchers developing a research profile in gerontology. Students currently undertaking a PhD or those who have been awarded a PhD in the last five years are eligible to apply.
The purpose of the award is to recognise the achievements of South Australian researchers, to encourage people to undertake and continue their research activities, and to encourage the dissemination and promotion of current research.
The award is offered to researchers who have published or formally presented work in one of the following categories of research:
- Applied – original work undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge with a specific application in view. It is undertaken either to determine possible uses for the findings of basic research or to determine new methods or ways of achieving some specific and predetermined objectives.
- Strategic – (in human services field) generates knowledge about specific health and well-being needs and problems. These may be conditions, risk factors or sources of inefficiency or inequity.
- Evaluative – work designed to allow judgements to be made about a program, project or service. Evaluation uses a range of methods to monitor the process and impact of a project or program against predetermined objectives and indicators.
- Fundamental/Basic – this research generates knowledge about problems of scientific significance.
The award will include:
- A certificate of achievement
- A prize of $1000
- AAG Membership for the 2016/17 year
The opportunity to present a paper at next year's AAG SA Gerontology Forum in Adelaide

Themes around what stacks the odds in your favour to support a positive/successful ageing experience could be:
Exercise and relaxation
Belonging and purpose
Speakers are in the process of being finalised.
More details on the conference can be found here.

White House pushes Obama budget, warns Republicans about 'my way or highway' tactic
Like his budget ever gets any votes.
Check it out:
The White House tried Sunday to win support for President Obama's forthcoming budget, arguing the plan is a balanced approach to economic prosperity and warning Republicans about stonewalling negotiations and pushing a "rejected" Romney plan.
"Right now, the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway," senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer told "Fox News Sunday." "Their view is the only acceptable plan is to try to … essentially enact the Romney economic plan. The American people rejected that, and Republicans shouldn't be doubling down on it."
The White House effort comes three days before Obama releases his 2014 budget, which is expected to include a mix of tax increases and cuts to such entitlements as Social Security and Medicare.

What's your spirit animal and why?
I would say a dog for sure because I love companionship, exercise and naps. Lovvvvve naps.
If you could have your favorite song lyrics tattooed on you, what would they be?
I would get "Three Little Birds" for sure!
If you had a superpower what would it be?
Time travel
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I was a caddy for U.S. amateur golf events while in college.
What is your most treasured possession?
My grandmother's Omega watch was a gift on my wedding day.
What's your idea of perfect happiness?
A beach day with my girls and an endless supply of mint green iced tea.
How would your friends describe you?
I'm definitely the kind of friend that will drop at a hat to support my friends when they need it. A ride, a listening ear, you name it -- just ask and I'm there. I'm also the last one to say I'm ready for a night out to end, and the first one up in the morning. Most are pretty appalled that I wake up at 4:30 in the morning, even on days when I'm not working.
How would your kids describe you?
I am the boss who loves a good dance party in the kitchen.
Do you have a favorite charity?
CurePSP. Degenerative brain disorders have affected more than one important person in my life. Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is less known, and I would love to help bring more attention to it.

This review is from: CORSAIR Hydro Series H105 Extreme Performance 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler, CW-9060016-WW
Pros: Never used a water cooling system, glad I got this as my first experience. Pretty easy to install, looks amazing, sounds solid, it's sealed. Worth every penny. Runs my overclocked 8350 fx 4.8 gig at 5c idle 20 - 27 in games. Way over kill :)
Cons: Spendy I guess? but so worth it. Little big but it fit in my storm styker full tower case perfectly!

Pros: Pretty beast. Pretty much what I expected, but did my research. Little more than over kill but so what, your GPU should be your more expensive piece really, if you're a gamer that is. Runs pretty cool in high load as well.
Cons: Nothing.

Cinnamon rolls make the perfect base for this incredible apple-filled ring that's perfect for a fall brunch or party!
As prepared by Cheeky Kitchen, September 2, 2014
When you're having a party, there's only one thing to do – pull out the purtiest recipe you've got in your pocket and wow your friends.
This recipe is one of those recipes. The ones that have all the girls exclaiming, "Why, Jessica. How DO you do it?" You'll coyly tuck a stray hair behind your ear, bat eyelashes, and say, "Oh, really. This? It's positively nothing."
And you'll mean it. Because this splendid recipe is easy easy easy. So easy, in fact, that you can plumb near forget you're having a party, then pull together this Pinterest-worthy apple cinnamon roll ring in less than 30.
Here's how to make it happen at your next soiree…
Start by dicing four apples. You can peel the outer skins, but there's no need to if you're in a hurry. Just core, dice and toss in a bowl.
Spice it up with caramely brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
Then grab two packs of these gorgeous Grands! Cinnamon Rolls. This is where the magic starts.
You're gonna grab a piece of parchment and flatten each cinnamon roll out with a rolling pin.
Note: I specified parchment up there because (as you can see) I did not use parchment, and SO wished I had.
Second note: if the cinnamon rolls are sticking to your wooden rolling pin, just spray the tops of them with an eeny weeny bit of nonstick spray.
Place the flattened cinnamon rolls on a large pizza pan or baking pan, lined with a second piece of parchment paper.
Then just spoon your apple filling around the middle of the cinnamon roll ring.
Roll out that second tube of cinnamon rolls and set them on top of the apple filling. Match the top layer of rolls to the bottom layer of rolls. With fork or fingers, press the top and bottom cinnamon rolls together at the edges.
You'll get a gorgeous ring that looks like apple-stuffed cinnamon rolls, and tastes like apple-stuffed cinnamon rolls, and makes you want to live in an apple-stuffed cinnamon roll.
Transfer it all to a pretty platter (if you please) then…
Drizzle it with the included Cinnabon icing.
Why, Jessica. How DO you do it?
"Oh, really. This? It's positively nothing." ;)

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a 1908 Tin Pan Alley song by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer which has become the unofficial anthem of North American baseball, although neither of its authors had attended a game prior to writing the song.[1] The song's chorus is traditionally sung during the middle of the seventh inning of a baseball game. Fans are generally encouraged to sing along, and at some ballparks, the words "home team" are replaced with the team name.
History of the song[edit]
Jack Norworth, while riding a subway train, was inspired by a sign that said "Baseball Today" – Polo Grounds". In the song, Katie's (and later Nelly's) beau calls to ask her out to see a show. She accepts the date, but only if her date will take her out to the baseball game. The words were set to music by Albert Von Tilzer. (Norworth and Von Tilzer finally saw their first Major League Baseball games 32 and 20 years later, respectively.) The song was first sung by Norworth's then-wife Nora Bayes and popularized by many other vaudeville acts. It was played at a ballpark for the first known time in 1934, at a high-school game in Los Angeles; it was played later that year during the fourth game of the 1934 World Series.[2]
Norworth wrote an alternative version of the song in 1927. (Norworth and Bayes were famous for writing and performing such smash hits as "Shine On, Harvest Moon".)[3][4] With the sale of so many records, sheet music, and piano rolls, the song became one of the most popular hits of 1908. The Haydn Quartet singing group, led by popular tenor Harry MacDonough, recorded a successful version on Victor Records.[5]
The most famous recording of the song was credited to "Billy Murray and the Haydn Quartet", even though Murray did not sing on it.[6] The confusion, nonetheless, is so pervasive that, when "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was selected by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the 365 top "Songs of the Century", the song was credited to Billy Murray, implying his recording of it as having received the most votes among songs from the first decade.[7] The first recorded version was by Edward Meeker. Meeker's recording was selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[8]
Below are the lyrics of the 1908 version, which is out of copyright.
Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Had the fever and had it bad.
Just to root for the home town crew,
Ev'ry sou1
Katie blew.
On a Saturday her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No,
I'll tell you what you can do:"
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.
Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew the players by their first names.
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along,
Good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song:
- Original lyric, sung by Edward Meeker, recorded in 1908 on a phonograph cylinder
- Lyrics to 1927 version
1 The term "sou", a coin of French origin, was at the time common slang for a low-denomination coin. In French the expression "sans le sou" means penniless. Carly Simon's version, produced for Ken Burns' 1994 documentary Baseball, reads "Ev'ry cent/Katie spent".
Though not so indicated in the lyrics, the chorus is usually sung with a pause in the middle of the word "Cracker", giving "Cracker Jack" a pronunciation "Crac---ker Jack". Also, there is a noticeable pause between the first and second words "root".
Recordings of the song[edit]
The song (or at least its chorus) has been recorded or cited countless times in the 100 years since it was written. The original music and 1908 lyrics of the song will not revert to the public domain in the United States and the United Kingdom[9] until September 1, 2029, or 70 years after the composers' deaths; as well, the copyright to the revised 1927 lyrics still remain in effect.[10] It has been used as an instrumental underscore or introduction to many films or skits having to do with baseball.
The first verse of the 1927 version is sung by Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra at the start of the MGM musical film, Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949), a movie that also features a song about the famous and fictitious double play combination, O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg.
In the early to mid-1980s, the Kidsongs Kids recorded a different version of this song for A Day at Old MacDonald's Farm.
In the mid-1990s, a Major League Baseball ad campaign featured versions of the song performed by musicians of several different genres. An alternative rock version by the Goo Goo Dolls was also recorded.[11] Multiple genre Louisiana singer-songwriter Dr. John and pop singer Carly Simon both recorded different versions of the song for the PBS documentary series Baseball, by Ken Burns.[12]
In 2001, Nike aired a commercial featuring a diverse group of Major League Baseball players singing lines of the song in their native languages. The players and languages featured were Ken Griffey, Jr. (American English), Alex Rodriguez (Caribbean Spanish), Chan Ho Park (Korean), Kazuhiro Sasaki (Japanese), Graeme Lloyd (Australian English), Éric Gagné (Québécois French), Andruw Jones (Dutch), John Franco (Italian), Iván Rodríguez (Caribbean Spanish), and Mark McGwire (American English).[13]
The song in popular culture[edit]
The iconic song has been used and alluded to in many different ways.
In the 1935 Marx Brothers' film A Night at the Opera, in one of the more unusual uses of the song, composer Herbert Stothart arranged for a full pit orchestra to segue seamlessly from the overture of Il trovatore into the chorus of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".
A 1954 version by Stuart McKay [14] shifted the lyrics two syllables forward to make the song end surprisingly early. In McKay's version the initial "Take me" was sung as an unaccented pickup, causing the final "Game" to land on the same note as "Old" in the original, and leaving last two notes unsung.
In 1955, in an episode of I Love Lucy guest starring Harpo Marx, Harpo performed a harp rendition of the song.
A version is heard during the end credits of the 1978 film The Bad News Bears Go To Japan. The first verse is sung by Japanese children, later accompanied by American singers.
In 1988, for the 80th anniversary of the song and the 100th anniversary of the poem "Casey at the Bat", Sports Illustrated writer Frank Deford constructed a fanciful story (later expanded to book form as Casey on the Loose) which posited Katie Casey as being the daughter of the famous slugger from the poem.
In 1994, radio station WJMP, broadcasting to the Akron, Ohio market, played the song continuously during the Major League Baseball players' strike of 1994 as a protest.
In 1995 in the ER Season 2 episode "Hell and High Water", the character Doug Ross tells a child to keep singing the song to keep himself conscious.
The 2001 children's book "Take Me Out of the Bathtub and other Silly Dilly Songs" by Alan Katz and David Catrow, featuring silly words to well-known tunes, recast the end of the chorus as "I used one, two, three bars of soap. Take me out...I'm clean!" in its title number.[15]
In 2006, Jim Burke authored and illustrated a children's book version of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
In 2006, Gatorade used an instrumental version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in a commercial over video highlights of the United States Men's National Soccer Team in the lead-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, closing with the tagline "It's a whole new ballgame."
In 2008, Andy Strasberg, Bob Thompson and Tim Wiles (from the Baseball Hall of Fame) wrote a comprehensive book on the history of the song, Baseball's Greatest Hit: The Story of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game'. The book, published by Hal Leonard Books, included a CD with 16 different recordings of the song from various points in time, ranging from a 1908 recording by Fred Lambert, to a seventh-inning-stretch recording by Harry Caray.
The NHL used the song to promote the 2009 NHL Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings taking place at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day, 2009. At the time, it was the first Winter Classic to take place in a baseball stadium.
In the series Homeland Nicholas Brody teaches the song to Isa Nazir to help him learn English.
From March 13, 2015, the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was adopted as the departure melody for trains on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line at Kōrakuen Station in Tokyo, Japan.[16] Baseball is popular in Japan, and Korakuen Station is one of the closest stations to the Tokyo Dome baseball stadium.[17]
Instrumental parts of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" can be heard in the background music for Joe E. Brown's 1932 movie Fireman, Save My Child.
In 1985, it was featured in Kidsongs "A Day at Old MacDonald's Farm", which shows the kids playing baseball. Also, Kirk Gibson of the Detroit Tigers is seen hitting a home run during the 1984 World Series.
It was sung on two early episodes of Barney & Friends.
The episode of Sam & Cat entitled "#MagicATM" featured the chorus, but with modified and nonsensical lyrics that start with "Take me down to the basement, fill the buckets with cheese."
In October 2016, Ghostbusters actor Bill Murray impersonates Daffy Duck as he gave his rendition of the chorus of 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game' while at game 3 of the World Series, held at Wrigley Field.[18]
The 66yo Golden-Globe winner,[19] dressed head-to-toe in the baseball team gear, is a very vocal Chicago Cubs fan. "It's the bottom of the 7th, the last chance to order beer. But we didn't come here to drink beer, we came here to win this ball game!!!' he said as the stadium cheered. "In order to sing the right lyric, "take me out with the crowd," you need to sing it like our greatest American entertainer, Mr. Daffy Duck, so I want you to spray it, and don't say it," he screamed into the mic. Before concluding his performance with a quick pep quote "Let's get some runs, suckers!" he shouted.
While the Cubs lost that game 3, On November 3, 2016, in a game that was scheduled for November 2, 2016 and ran past midnight, the Cubs won the 2016 World Series,[20] defeating the Cleveland Indians in game seven.

FlyORH: Chamber of Commerce Works To Promote Worcester Airport
Thursday, January 30, 2014
Considering that we have 54,000 people per month (assume 90% load factor) wouldn't you think more business would spend some money here advertising their businesses? It makes me wonder, are we are advertising in those markets for people to come to Central Massachusetts?
Another surprise for me has been is that it appears that on a day-to-day basis, Fort Lauderdale is selling better then Orlando. Considering all the family attractions and despite the fact that Fort Lauderdale has connections to points South, I thought Orlando would be more popular.
Have you ever tried to travel with a family to a larger airport? Parking, walking through the airport, long check-in and TSA lines, versus the 10 minutes from car to gate at ORH! There is no reason that Worcester should not be the number 1 choice of all families traveling to Orlando within 40 miles of ORH.
Good news
Destination Worcester and the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce are addressing these concerns. They have teamed-up with Massport, the Fort Lauderdale CVB, and the Orlando CVB to host a trade show that targets travel agents/agencies. The event is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, March 13, 2014 from 4-7:30 pm at the airport.
The purpose of the trade show is to educate local agents/agencies about the new and convenient air service (JetBlue) from Worcester to Orlando, Fort Lauderdale (and connecting flights to Latin American destinations), to showcase the airport and its amenities, and to highlight unique vacation packages for travel (e.g., cruises, hotel accommodations, transportation, large-scale events, etc.)
Exhibitors to date include (from Florida and locally), including Disney, Universal Studios, Sandals, Royal Caribbean Cruises, SeaWorld, Marriott, Sheraton, Worcester Airport Limousine, Knight's Limousine, and more. The show will feature presentations about the new service, travel packages, opportunities for cross-promotion, etc. Refreshments, a signature drink, hors d'oeuvres, and a beach theme will add some spunk to the event.
Working together
Travel agents are an extremely important market for the airline and the airport to succeed. Over 400 travel agents are being targeting and AAA of Southern New England has been engaged. They have also recruited TripAdvisor and MOTT to assist with presentations and an educational component. All are very enthusiastic to work with us in helping to make this event a success!
Stay tuned; I will have more information on this event going forward as we get closer to the date. Let's hope they call it something like "Live from T1", like JetBlue does for their T5 Live events at JFK. Maybe the Chamber could advertise this event of the digital billboard on Route 146 and Route 290.

Jennifer Dark – My Friends Hot Mom
Released: September 16, 2013
Jennifer Dark finds her son's best friend past out behind her house. Apparently, all the dudes got a chick last night except for this lonely sap. Jennifer also went out last night and couldn't find any dick to bring home. She figures since they were both left without someone to fuck that they should just fuck each other. Sounds like a great plan to her son's friends. He always had a thing for her and now he gets to give her his big thing.

This must have taken you forever..
I can't assimilate all the layers, the scenes, the tweens you had to use, the time you had to waste with all that...
You're not getting any worse, that's for sure. I loved this, and the cliffhanger made me want more!
Good, indeed
I was almost starting to get bored of it, but when the chainsaw came out, i was hooked again. Horray!
Maybe it's just me, but i am not entirely getting the whole evil clown/Jesus/guy who keeps coming back from the dead thing.
Oh well.
That was the best madness I have ever seen in my life. I can't wait till the next one comes out.
This...is....awesome.....pleas e read and reply
Omfg, this is 90% PERFECT (10% goes to length, and this is pretty short) but this is total win....and at the full on end, the improb drive was set to lots, and the 'secret' dude (most likely cyborg sherriff) increased it to Oh Shi, so we're expecting aLOT more randomness?

Humour - Ha ha, box may contain 4 banana's, 3 oranges, 1 monkey, 5 apples and 10 laser guns, the other posters rocked too
Awesomeness involved, also, a suggestion for MC8; since the improb. drive is sentenced to total chaos, how bout having a dozen more of those huge 1337 guys dropping from the sky, and jebus running around with a massive weapon, cos I like that he made a debut, but killing 1 1337, 2 Guards, Hank and the PID (tricky's brain), seems like he could do WAY more chaos. Please reply with your thoughts, it would be great

Aldermen approve holiday curfew change
Little ghosts and goblins will get an extra half hour of trick-or-treating time this year, after town officials moved the customary curfew time back from 7:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The first whistle will blow at 7:30 p.m. as a warning of the final whistle at 8.
Town officials noted that Daylight Savings Time will not end until after Halloween this year. It is still light at 5 p.m., delaying the start of the spooky holiday.
In a divided vote on Tuesday, the town of Tunica Board of Aldermen approved lending support to a bill proposed by the Mississippi Municipal League that would give citizens of a municipality the option to vote on a local sales tax. Called the Citizens for Economic Development Act, the bill will be submitted to the Legislature for action in the 2013 session. The revenue raised through the local sales tax would be designated for specific economic development projects.

EDIT: ...and here they are
It's very funny that al the Pacific islands are sponsered by Lotto. I think it's a shame, because other cloth sponsers make better shirts. But that you have a Vanuatu shirt, and I saw that there are more in coming, makes it very special. How did you get all those rare shirts? Congratulations with your new shirts ;).
