in Good Times arrive in Oak Harbor - Whidbey News Times on Whidbey News-Times
Just visited Good Times Pizza about 2hours ago today. Great pizza! Very European taste to the pizza having been deployed to Germany many times. Pizza sauce is tangy but not to acidity, and very rich in flavor. Pizza crust was just the right size. I'm a fan of the pan pizza crust and my friend likes thin crust. This was the right combo of both. Toppings are just what you expect to be on a pie! I was told to try the Mac&Cheese pizza and wow... Just ask for a pie and they will make it for you.
Staff and "boss" Scott were very friendly and upbeat. Unlike other buffet's our dirty plates were removed almost as soon as we were done with them.
Had to check out the "open" kitchen and it is as Scott says.... "clean"
Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that's a fan of the euro style pizza pie. Oh they do have alot of clocks so being late from chow to work is not an option.

in FBI and Gambling - Australian connotations? on The Metaverse Journal
Grace the "The U.S. governmment feels this compelling need to advance their micromanaging of our lives from real life, into our fantasy lives as well."
well yes and no... the unlawful act was set up to help prevent money laundering (sp?) which most cases (the US feels that it does) helps support terroist.
Lets remember it was the kind folks at Linden Labs that invited the FBI to "snoop" around in casino's in world.
Worst case sceniro i predict is the FBI (supreme court ruling) will either look the other way as they put their thumbs back in their arses or say "one can not convert game money made by gambling into us dollars"
My guess it the first one will happen first.
Oh yea and try asking your local law enforcement if your breaking the local laws by gambling in a virtual world, chances are they will replay "huh" and give you a dumbfounded look.

in Casinos in SL - the beginning of the end? on The Metaverse Journal
Fact is most large casino's are on private islands. Fact is mainland casino's are rather small in comparision and provide just as much lag if not less then those at a club on mainland. Scripts from a casino contribute to lag but are not all to blame for lag (server lag). Using high rez textures on a home can contribute more lag (client or computer lag) making it more noticable to the user then scripts. Using AO's on yourself and multiplying that by everyone that's at a place in SL can contribute to lag.
Bottom line is casino's are not all to blame for mainland lag.
Stick 40 prim heavy script heavy avi's in a class 5 sim with nonthing in it.. no buildings no textures no casinos/clubs and tell me you dont experience lag. My guess is you will.
And no... not all casino's go camp crazy with 20+ camping chairs and 20+ zombies. :)

in FBI and Gambling - Australian connotations? on The Metaverse Journal
im a USA resident and i have a nice sice mall with a rather small casino.
From what i read in the routers report, they are not investigating casino owners rather LindenLabs for allowing "unlawful gambling" the Unlawful gambling act says no transactions of money shall be used for gambling. The main thing the FBI is looking at is how lindens used for gambling would or would not fall under the unlawful gambling act.
LindenLabs VIP of buisness affairs made that quite clear as he/she was quoated in the routers report.
Also to touch on LL's classified ad "solution" to keep them clean.. they do not specificly say what is gambling. Gambling is anything paid to for value of greater gain. In retrospect, buying virtual land is a type of gambling as the land buyer hopes to gain greater value when or if they sell their land. Legally in the USA you need a license to sell land or property. So what is next? does the USA law crack down on land barons too?
Point is, LL needs to tell people like myself that are not dedicating all their land to just a casino what we can put in our classified ads. Is bingo (aka slingo in SL) considered a casino machine or gambling? is an xploder/sploder considered a casino machine or gambling? These are questions that LL needs to answer soon before they start randomly pulling classified ads (which some places pay up to 100,000 lindens or more for an ad).
