Re: Poole’s Diner Up For Sale, But Still Serving Good Food

Many people don't know the history, but here it is:
In 1943 retired railroad worker, John Poole built Poole's Pie Shop at 426 S. McDowell St., Raleigh. During the Halcyon days of the 1950's he expanded the business and added a restaurant, calling it Poole's Luncheonette. The luncheonette closed in 1992. In 1993 Susan Goetcheus and Evan Lightner carefully renovated the building keeping much of the classic decor and opened Vertigo Diner. After 10 years the restaurant was in need of renovation and in 2004 Pooles Diner opened. This renovation returned the building much closer to a 1940's decor and created a menu to match.
I love this place. Always have, I first went back when it was vertigo, and i still continue to go (although less frequently than I'd like). I feel like its suffering from the construction more than anything, and I hope this landmark lives on.
The atmosphere is like no other that you can find in the city limits. And its the only place i know of where you can order a Sandwich and substitute the fries with a Salad without being charged anything extra.
Give it a try.

So, the GLBT community has been victimized by this?

Sorry, that seems akin to Christian marriage being victimized by same sex marriages.

Found this very helpful. The only one thing I would say is that if you try and use ORDERBY rfcpubate DESC in the MYSQL query something weird happens and it doesn't select the most recent. To fix i did this:

SELECT pubdate, DATE_FORMAT(pubdate,'%a, %d %b %Y %T') AS rfcpubdate FROM tablename ORDERBY pubdate DESC

very helpful indeed though

Re: USPTO a legal sweatshop?

Well, that's not the way it works, seems you were left with the impression of the USPTO as the halls of a middle school where bullies reign. We hardly ever see our supervisors, or talk to them. Communication occurs through numbers, and numbers alone. We know our production goals, we know how we are doing, sort of like tracking your grades at school. We cringe at certain things, that well, at the most, might make our job a tad less than perfect. I come in whenever I want, leave whenever I want. Commuting is more than paid for. I can work compensation time and then leave for months at a time. Thus, a second pair of eyes is a mere inconvenience of the slightest sort, which just might get to a highly egocentric examiner, e.g. maybe a 'primary' who until then thought her/himself god, because at that point in their career they don't ever interact with anyone, and the fact that maybe, once a year, a memo will appear in their box affirming one of their cases was reviewed, is unconceivable to them, well because, they're god, you know? The other examiners (junior) always have their cases reviewed anyway, no no no, no interaction here either with our supervisors, cases are signed in and put on a stack at your reviewer's office (could be your supervisor), and then, after you've watched the funny videos of the day on youtube.com, check your 6 emails, go for a yummy cappuccino at Bread and Chocolate down the street, come back finish another case, update your journal, read your favorite blogs, go home and come in in the morning, you feel like correcting the case and go pick it up at your box, the case will have corrections and suggestions in conveniently noticeable red ink. Anyway, I'm under the impression you're British, have read your other postings, and it is my dream to one day migrate to Europe, since America, as a whole, IS a legal sweatshop.
