Trademark Drink + Eat
Online Reservations
Great neighborhood find! Lovely restaurant in the PTO area. Most people wouldn't know that it is there. Beautiful ambiance.
Actually the apps were the start of the show. We ended up having the bacon candy, flatbread and pretzel bites. The drinks of course were spot on. Sadly the main courses were just okay. Friends had the seafood pot pie, beer can chicken, crab cake and I can't remember what I had. Clearly they were not memorable. Still a huge improvement over what was there before. Definitely check it out for a happy hour.
Nestled in the Westin Alexandria (VA), it has a very large bar area and an intimate dining area. You feel like you are dining in a library, with books on shelves that you may thumb through between courses, although the lighting is very subdued. Because of the bar, the have an impressive appetizer menu. The soft warm pretzel bites, which come with honey-mustard and chipolte dipping sauces, were tasty. The grilled salmon and Chesapeake Pot Pie were good entree choices. If you order the pot pie, don't try to gulp it down. It is served, very, very hot. The dessert menu didn't do anything for us. The service was very attentive. Complimentary valet parking, with restaurant validation, is available. Starwood Preferred Guest members earn points.
Hadn't eaten here since the remake and it was a wonderful surprise. Some co-workers and I went and the service was outstanding from the start. Food was not only creative but the taste was incredible. I had the Tomatoe Bisque and Porcini Ravioli small dishes and they were both wonderful! One of our party ordered the seafood pot pie and OMG it was incredible! So if you haven't been back since they updated it is definitely worth the stop.
There isn't much in the area north of Old Town, but this is a great addition. We tried the bacon candy, the TradeMAC and Cheese (Chesapeake), the burger, and the Chesapeake pot pie---all were amazing. I had two cocktails, which were inventive and definitely a step above the normal craft-tails you find around other places these days. There are a lot of TVs on the wall, and the appetizer list is long and delicious looking--I will definitely be back here to snack on those and watch a game.
We were a little wary at first since this is located in a hotel. But now we have been several times and every time the food is great and service is superb. Would highly recommend.
A great place for a work lunch -- excellent choices on the menu and everyone was pleased with what they ordered. In partic, the clean, fresh coleslaw was a hit! A little noisy in the main area, but our table was slightly out of the way so we had no problems chatting. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant experience.
My fiance and I had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time as we drove past it almost daily and it is right around the corner from our home. We finally went and weren't disappointed. It's located in the lobby of the local Westin, so it obviously is made with business travelers in mind. The food was more expensive than some place you would go regularly, but the food was quite good. $26 for a moderate sized salmon filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus is more than I would want to pay regularly. The menu is sparse, but what they did, from what I could tell, was quite good. The bar is expansive with many wine and beer selections. The service was outstanding.
Spacious, well laid out, an awesome spread with variety and attentive service.
My mom and I enjoyed the 2013 Mother's Day brunch. It had a nice variety of savory and sweet breakfast items, omelette bar, prime rib, and turkey. It was not particularly innovative cuisine. The servers were professional and pleasant. Our experience was adequate for the day, but we celebrated at other brunch spots in previous years and enjoyed it more in those other years. Sorry, Trademark. I would still recommend it, but I would recommend other options more.
We had a nice table close to a window and near the brunch room. Food presentation made you want to try everything! The carved ham was well seasoned and tasty! The roast beef was tender. I also enjoyed the risotto and quiche along with the omelet station. The visibility of the chefs/kitchen staff ensured the area was kept clean, replenished when necessary and responded immediately to on-the-spot customer suggestions/requests. Although it was a self-serve brunch, the wait staff was almost non-existent for service to include clearing the table and serving beverages. I wanted to try a special brunch cocktail but my server could not get past the coffee and juice. Providing each mother with a special cupcake was a nice touch instead of flowers.
Love the cocktails here, very original using local wines and spirits, and the food was very good.
Normally, hotel restaurants aren't anything to brag about, but this little gem in the Alexandria, VA, Westin Hotel is definitely an exception to that rule! There's also a good selection of creative cocktails & craft beers.
Booked a table for Fathers' Day brunch. Everything was great! Food, service, drinks, you name it. If you're into Old Bay, you have to try the Jumbo Lump Crab Hash - it's out of this world!
The seafood pot pie was well done and tasty, the only sad part was waiting patiently after the delectable crust was broken for the food to cool enough to eat. The beer can chicken was delicious and generously porportioned, greens were kale, perfectly done. The salmon was done just so and the candied bacon nuggets were just the right burst of flavor. The seafood mac-n-cheese was dotted with big morsels of lump crab and lobster, for my taste, could have benefited from a punch of sharper cheese, but had the right creaminess. The calamari appetizer came with a kalamata aioli, reminiscent of tapenade, nice, but salty, perhaps a second dipping sauce might provide a counter balance. Service was sincere, but with some language problems.
My husband works for the USPTO and we've always noticed this little restaurant attached to the Westin Hotel. Given the reputation that comes with every hotel restaurant, i.e., not very good food, we were a little hesitant, but the decor and the restaurant's outside aesthetics were pleasing enough. We finally came here on a whim when our intended dinner spot was too indebted in Fourth of July traffic. High ceilings. Industrial looking. Very airy. Quiet. We ordered the mini pretzel burger, pot of mussels, seafood pot pie, bread pudding, and Kahlua coffee. Each were greatly flavorful and completely surprising! Everything was incredibly gourmet. Greatly underestimated restaurant. Total hidden gem. Try it, you'll be surprised!
Love this place for any occasion. Just ask they add either veggie sausage or fish to the Sunday brunch.
This place is much more than a "hotel bar". The decor is awesome and the bartenders are the best. I come here all the time for dinner or just a drink. The Trademark Old Fashioned always hits the spot!
Cocktail list - you can't lose. Dive in. Candied bacon - overrated. Pass. Pretzel bites - rockin'. Nom nom nom. Salad (can't remember which one) - fabulous. Trademark Burger - rockin'. Good service. Neat ambience (used to be a patent office; hence the name).
My wife and I have eaten here several times. We like it and will come back. However, our Restaurant Week meal was only OK. The salad with watermelon in it was nice, as was my steak dish. The sausage in it was a nice touch. However, my wife's wahoo fish was badly overcooked. The restaurant did take 20% off our food bill because of this, without fuss. The dessert was really skimpy however--just a half a peach with a tiny scoop of ice cream in it. I know restaurants run out of stuff, but it would have been nice if they'd let us pick a dessert from the regular menu.
This is a high end sports bar. The food is good. The menu selection is good. The drinks are expensive.
The food was very good, but it's noisy. Great place to grab a bite~!

Bush banning anime from the USA!, a rumor and letter from the undersigned |
Bush banning anime from the USA!, a rumor and letter from the undersigned |

Senior Member Group: Member Posts: 106 Joined: Dec 2004 Member No: 68,879 |
I was at my friend's xanga just earlier and found this post about Bush banning Anime forever from the United States of America. Some moron who disguised his/her name as "The Undersigned" as written a letter to the President demanding him to BAN ANIME FROM THE STATES. Here's the letter:
QUOTE To: George Bush Here in America, we live in a climate of moral decay. What is the cause of this? It is called "anime". Anime is a perverse, evil, insiduous form of animation from the dark land of Japan, and is corrupting America's youth at unprecedented rates. Here are a few examples of anime which are circulating on the Internet and may very well be in your home: 1) Ah My Goddess: A sick and disgusting show which causes children under the age of 18 to think they are capable of love. The main female character is clearly under 18, and is forced into a romantic relationship by an older man who "wishes" for her to be his girlfriend forever. He even KISSES her, and she appears NAKED. That poor girl must be so confused. 2) Love Hina: I'm not even going to mention the unspeakable, disgusting, pedophilic, pornograhpic events which transpire during this show, but suffice it to say, groups of young men on Love Hina-fueled rampages are raping children at a level unheard of since the 60s. If you are a parent or a decent human being, I urge you to sign this petition to ban all forms of anime in the United States. Anyone who is found in possesion of anime should be arrested and jailed for an exhorbant period of time. Anime is a dark scourge upon our beautiful nation, and we don't need this Japanese filth corrupting the hearts of the children. As a resonsible Christian, I demand to see this garbage removed from our nation. Please sign this petition and send it to George Bush, your Congressman, and the makers/distributors of anime filth and depravity. Do the right thing. Sincerely, The Undersigned You all love Anime, right? And want to watch it forever in your local USA stations? If so, please save it!!! SIGN THE PETITION.... Sign the Petition |

Union Claims Victory And Presses Owner John Wolf To Rehire 5 Employees
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Almost two months after 5 employees at Chicago-Lake Liquors were fired for presenting a petition to management asking for higher wages, the National Labor Relations Board indicated yesterday that it found merit in the charges that the firings were a violation of federal labor law, as well as two other charges against the employer relating to ongoing organizing. The fired workers are now calling for Chicago-Lake's owner, John Wolf, to respect the law and rehire them. The workers and their supporters will picket outside the store at 7:30PM on Friday, May 24th, asking customers to shop elsewhere for the evening in solidarity with the campaign for higher wages and union rights.

The Sisters' Camelot Canvass Union is asking supporters to call/text/email the remaining Sisters' Camelot collective members demanding they turn over information regarding their contractually owed back wages. For weeks, the striking canvassers have been confronting their bosses requesting this information. The wages owed to them come from their share of online donations. The collective has not paid the canvassers share of these funds since October 2012.
1. Ask they turn over information for online donations and 'call backs' to the Canvass Union.
2. If they say they don't have access to the information because the only person with access has not been responding to other collective members phone calls for the last several weeks, remind them they can contact PayPal and Network for Good themselves requesting access to the information.
3. If they say the canvassers contracts do not explicitly say they are owed these funds, remind them this has been policy at Sisters' Camelot for many years, regardless of how vague the contracts are worded.

In 1950, Chevron, General Motors, and Firestone were charged and convicted of criminal conspiracy for their part in the General Motors streetcar conspiracy. In this scandal they purchased streetcar systems all over the United States in order to disassemble the industry and create bus lines. They did this to increase the demand for petroleum, automobiles and tires so that they could directly receive business and profits from their scheme. Later Chevron began investing in alternative industries such as lithium car batteries. Chevron began to be limiting access to large NiMH batteries through its control of patent licenses. Many suspect they did this to remove a competitor to gasoline and suspicions were affirmed when Chevron began a lawsuit against Panasonic and Toyota because they started producing EV-95 batteries for electric cars.

Last week, the Greensboro IWW achieved a swift and valuable win that illustrated the power of solidarity and direct action. A branch member had been unjustly fired from his job at New York Pizza on Tate Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. This fellow worker was owed more than $1100, including unpaid overtime and off-the-clock work, as well as money that was improperly deducted from his pay for rejected food and register shortages.
On Monday, May 6th, this fellow worker, accompanied by another branch member, delivered a letter to the boss from the Greensboro IWW, demanding payment in full by Friday. The branch was prepared to leaflet and picket at the location if our fellow worker did not receive his wages in full.

We, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) want to express our deep concern and strong condemnation of the unfair dismissal of Oscar Alvarez, Union Representative of the IWW at the West Perivale garage.
Oscar Alvarez has been a London bus driver for 8 1/2 years. He reached the 10th position nationwide in Blackpool Best Bus Driver of the Year 2007 competition, which to date is still unbeaten by any Metroline driver. But Oscar's sacking is far from being an isolated occurrence. This is part of an escalating wave of sackings on the buses over the last few years, which has seen all London bus companies imposing terrible contracts on new starters, often without union agreement or any serious attempt to fight this 'race to the bottom'.

Donald Byrd, R.I.P.
Donald Byrd, who died on February 4 at age 80, came to prominence in the mid-Fifties with bands led by Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and George Wallington. His frontline partner with Blakey and Silver, and on several of their respective recordings as leaders, was Hank Mobley. Leonard Feather hailed Mobley as the "middle-weight champion" of the tenor saxophone, a champ to be sure, though not quite in the heavyweight ranks of Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane.
Byrd was similarly endowed, a gifted trumpeter who was often quite impressive, and who became a dependable first-call player for jazz dates in the late '50's. Still, Byrd lacked the poetic mien of Miles Davis, the lyrical brilliance of Clifford Brown, and the brash eloquence of Lee Morgan. By the time Freddie Hubbard emerged in the early Sixties, Byrd seemed comfortably secure as a middleweight, and his recordings throughout that tumultuous decade reflect the work of a player who'd decided to leave adventure and experimentation to others while he stuck to the basics of soulful hard bop.
What Byrd increasingly embodied was a populism rooted in blues, the church, and soul music, a penchant for naming tunes in the vernacular guise of "Pentacostal Feelin'," "Soulful Kiddy" and "Funky Mama," and recordings that incorporated gospel choirs and other vocalisms. He called his 1963 recording, A New Perspective, which included Duke Pearson's "Christo Redentor," a "modern hymnal."
As an African American whose middle name honored Haiti's iconic independence leader, Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II embraced principles of black economic empowerment and acted upon them both as a bandleader and as an educator when he began teaching in the late '60's. Howard, North Carolina Central, and Delaware State were among the groves where he established jazz studies programs, and he joined other academics and black nationaalists in seeking to define jazz less as a universal art form and more as a bright flowering of the black cultural continuum, "a lily in spite of the swamp," as Archie Shepp saw it. In 1973, Byrd set down a veritable thesis along these lines with his jazz-funk recording, Black Byrd. Illustrated with an historical image of 19th Century black musicians, BlackByrd made the Hot 100 and became Blue Note's biggest selling LP ever. Forty years since its release, it still stands as the most enjoyable and fully-realized fusion of jazz and electric funk.
In the wake of BlackByrd's success, Byrd bristled at criticism from jazz critics for cashing in, but as the Penguin Guide respectfully puts it, he didn't sell out so much as he "bought-in" to funk. And in addition to his own work in this dance-oriented fusion of jazz and black pop, he organized some of his Howard University students into a band called the Blackbyrds and produced a series of singles on them including the Top 10 hit, "Walking in Rhythm."
Notwithstanding this success, Byrd maintained a hostile and defensive attitude toward critics who questioned his work, and fusion in general. The New York Times obituary quotes him from a 1982 interview: "Then the jazz people starting eating on me. They had a feast for ten years…Everything's that bad was attributed to Donald Byrd. I weathered it, and then it became commonplace."
Which? The criticism? Or the style? If he meant the latter, I would argue, not exactly. While Byrd pursued his brand of fusion, most of the players he'd grown up with in Detroit's musical hothouse of the '40's and '50's remained stalwarts of modern jazz. Even Byrd returned to more straight-ahead undertakings in the '80's on a couple of dates produced by Orrin Keepnews, but by then he'd largely lost his proficiency as a trumpeter. In 2000, he was honored as an NEA Jazz Master.
We'll hear Byrd's great work of the 1955-'67 period in tonight's Jazz a la Mode, including his recordings with Blakey, Silver, and Wallington, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Clark, and John Coltrane, his appearance with Thelonious Monk at Town Hall in 1959, and with his Motor City sidekick Pepper Adams at the Five Spot.
For additional perspectives on Byrd, read these obituaries by the Detroit Free Press, the Guardian, and the Washington City Paper. The latter mistakes him as the composer of "Christo Redentor," but has more detail on Byrd's establishment of a jazz studies program at Howard.
Here's Byrd at Cannes in 1958 with his quintet featuring flutist Bobby Jaspar, pianist Walter Davis, Jr., bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Taylor playing "I'll Remember April."

Meet the Runner's World Best Debut winner – the Faas 350 S, a lightweight low-profile stability performance trainer designed for tempo runs, road races, and speed sessions. Its engineered stability comes from its one-piece midsole with medial flare and its 4mm heel-to-toe drop design. A heel-to-forefoot lateral release groove reduces the rate of pronation, and allows for a more gradual transition. Deeper flex grooves allow for increased flexibility and a more natural ride.
That oh so low profile. It maximizes ground contact.
Its all-natural nature. No plastics. No dual densities.
The one-piece midsole. It keeps things light and steady.

Oh, Jane
I walked out of The United States since 1945 at 2:05, with an hour to spare before work. Enough time to scare off a bird that was being photographed and steal a cup of hot chocolate in an attempt to melt my frozen ears and hands, and by 2:45, my voyage to my library job with a brief stopover to check out a book for a psychology assignment was complete. I wandered the Reference section knowing it would look dorky to show up too early.
And there I spotted you, Jane.
My first love. Oh, you have been gone so long.
The first time I ever bought an issue, I was seventeen, with my first-ever disposable income and a desire to have that intangible quality I saw in the girls at coffee shops and concerts. The quality I thought you might lead me to.
You were $1.99 and reviewed Belle & Sebastian in your CD section. Never in my years of Cosmo, YM, Marie Claire, even Allure, never had I ever seen something I was actually interested in beneath the gloss of monthly newsprint. Never had I thought that I, a girl who hung out with all the boys, who read the same books and listened to the same music but tried so desperately to form some idea of herself, might not be alone among the tanned and highlighted girls in their Nikes and L.L. Bean backpacks. I never thought I'd buy a periodical for any reason besides a desire for something to guiltily read in the bathtub, to compile hundreds of sex tips I could never imagine using or pick out a t-shirt here, a shoe there, that I would consider desiring.
I was head over heels.
Over the sweet months--it wasn't even years--I met Zooey, Jenny, Kirsten, Fafi, Marc Jacobs, June Carter Cash. I saw what a pair of scissors or a jar of paint could to to turn something I could afford into something I was proud to have and have made myself. I saw how I could use the clothes I wore to represent who I was and wanted to be, someone who could read the same books as the boys but be infinitely feminine in dresses that were as sunny and airy as the photos I cut out and pasted on the front of my notebooks.
I went to college and stopped buying the issues, although I'd cheerfully read them as they came in throughout my long evening shifts. It was comforting, it was company, it was book titles hastily jotted down to be sought at the library and CDs downloaded and hair envied and essays laughed and gasped over. It was a newly mature love.
The issue I saw today, Jane, was your June/July 2007 one. It was so hopeful, from its proclamation that everyone must read Geek Love (one of my favorites) to the black and white photos of Zooey Deschanel in a swim cap and striped bathing suit. The editors' note said nothing of how soon you would be gone.
But you were.
There are other magazines out there, true. But without you, Jane, I would not have found them. You may redirect people to Glamour on your old website (gag), but you directed me to thrift stores, and Nylon, and eventually, here. I am eternally grateful.
You never forget your first time.
I can retread my steps throughout old issues that I can identify by stages in my life--like March '06, the end of senior year when I read you during first period at the Counseling desk where I was a student aide and the counselor's seven-year-old daughter braided my hair and drew me pictures.
But that doesn't mean you won't be missed. The thrill is gone, and the inward eye is now the bliss of my sartorial solitude.
Rest in peace, Jane. You're still in my heart.

i have given up on magazines because every magazine i truly like turns to extinction
it happened with YM when i was in junior high
it happened with Ellegirl in my early years of high school
and it has happened to Jane
i like NYLON but for my own sake as much as everyone else's, i'm staying away. - January 24, 2008 at 6:00 PM

What a nice ode. Jane chenged over the years, it was sort of like Ms. for a while. The fashion spreads have always been spot on for me. And you are right Glamour just doesn't compare!

- AFitz said...
The first issue I bought was the last one, with Eva Mendes on the cover. I didn't know what to expect but was blown away. I immediately went online to do research on the magazine and found out they were shutting down. I was so pissed I hadnt discovered it earlier. The next day, I was at a magazine store and they just so happened to have to Zooey issue and the Kirsten + Bryce Dallas issue, which I bought imiediately.
Most magazines suck now adays. Ellegirl was a good teen magazine and it doesnt exist anymore, neither does Ym (which wasnt that great in its final years but still better than cosmogirl). Even Nylon is slowly going down the crapper. - January 25, 2008 at 10:55 AM

oh my gosh! you should have seen me when i found out jane folded. i was constantly going up in my school's bookstore and walgreens thinking "Where is jane??? the new issue should be here by now..." finally i went on the website to see what was up... and.... !!!!! I was so upset i called my boyfriend immediately and was like "My favorite magazine folded!!!" I felt like my cat had died and went into a state of denial... ("it can't be gone... oh no, it cant...")
okay, i might have overreacted a little bit, don't think i'm crazy. i'm really glad you wrote this post. since jane's death, i started reading great feminist magazines like Bust and Bitch (who hates jane mag, by the way... and i suspect for personal reasons like disliking the actual Jane)But i'm still sad... you think there's any chance for a relaunch? - January 27, 2008 at 5:54 AM
- indie said...
I started buying it just few months before it folded...It was good, I have to admit. But I guess I'm not that sad over it because I never developed an relationship of sorts with it..I did that with Elle Girl (rip) when I was 14/15, and I can relate to the feelings that surfaced...it was great until it lasted..
- January 27, 2008 at 6:04 AM
- Blue Floppy Hat said...
I didn't know Jane all that well, but ElleGirl was my soft spot- friendlier than Teen Vogue, less sex/boy- obsessed than CosmoGirl, and just so darn useful. And cool. YM was the flavour of my bubblegummy (or should-have-been bubblegummy) junior high years, days when an issue came into the local newsagents to be flipped through were days to be cherished.
But yes. The good, non-Conde-Nasty magazines tend to die out sooner or later. And it's sad. - January 27, 2008 at 10:42 AM

yeah, it had great content and was half the size of the other lame mags.
and the fact that the title was jane made it incredible cool. - January 27, 2008 at 4:00 PM

word. i loved how the writers always refered to alcohol and prescription drug use and never really condemned either but rather acknowledged that their reader base probably drank and smoked too much.

OMFG I was just thinking about Jane mag recently. Ugh, I used to adore that magazine. I used to sit and read it in between classes at college in the courtyard, eating cheese and peanut butter crackers because I'd spent all my money on the magazine. Sigh. Even though it wasn't the same for the last couple of years, I will always remember fondly, my days reading Jane.

Aww this is so sweet but sad at the same time..not to mention that your writing is really compelling =) Are you studying creative writing or English at college?
- February 3, 2008 at 12:29 PM
I searched "I Miss Jane Magazine" and this came up.
My first issue was Katie Holmes, back in the '90s.
Jane was my salvation in a one radio station town, a sign of what was out there in the world for a high school Jane girl. The one who listened to music no one else had heard of, only to roll her eyes three years later when the charts finally validated what she already knew, who got that fashion+irony = better than a betty crocker apron with Bettie Page hair, who was not afraid of sex but was more interested in the range of what "sexy" could be and how she was sexy on her own terms than 779 positions to please her boyfriend. The people who wrote for it were named in the articles and seemed like my friends. Claudine, Jane herself, Jeff, Steph and Katy... where have you gone?
I was backpacking Africa when Jane packed up shop, coming back to a vacant website and a broken heart.
Thanks for sharing the memories. - March 8, 2008 at 9:08 PM

President Barack Obama on Wednesday proposed background checks on all gun sales and bans on military style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines as part of a package of steps to reduce gun violence in the wake of the Newtown school massacre last month.
With relatives of some of the 20 children killed in the Connecticut rampage looking on, Obama signed 23 executive actions -- which don't require congressional approval -- to strengthen existing gun laws and take related steps on mental health and school safety.
He also called on Congress to reinstate an assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, to restrict ammunition magazines to no more than 10 rounds, and to expand background checks to anyone buying a gun, whether at a store or in a private sale at an auction or convention.
Referring to the young students killed in the Newtown shootings on December 14 and other victims of gun violence, Obama said the nation must do a better job of protecting its children, especially when they are in schools, shopping malls, movie theaters and other public places.
While some of the steps he proposed are given little chance of winning congressional approval in the face of the nation's powerful gun lobby, Obama said all efforts must be made to reduce chronic gun violence in the country.
"This is our first task as a society -- keeping our children safe," the president said, adding that saving even one life would make the changes he seeks worth the effort.
Republicans immediately rejected the Obama proposals as an attack on the constitutional right to bear arms.
"Nothing the president is proposing would have stopped the massacre at Sandy Hook," said a statement by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, considered an up-and-coming GOP leader. "President Obama is targeting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens instead of seriously addressing the real underlying causes of such violence."
The powerful National Rifle Association said it would work with Congress to find what it called "real solutions to protecting America's most valuable asset -- our children."
"Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation," the NRA said in a statement. "Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy."
Gun rights at center of debate
NRA President David Keene said the "Second Amendment is going to survive" Obama's efforts on gun control.
"What we want to see is what they really have in mind. They've got bullet points. There's going to be a lot more to it than that," Keene said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."
Obama called accusations that he seeks to violate gun rights untrue, saying opponents want to wage a campaign of intimidation and fear instead of working with him for needed changes.
"We can respect the Second Amendment while keeping an irresponsible law-breaking few from inflicting harm on a massive scale," he said.
Gun control supporters, including relatives of shooting victims, lauded Obama's proposals as a good first step to reduce gun violence and urged legislators to take on the difficult issue instead of reverting to partisan postures.
"When you are disheartened by the number of steps that have to be taken, by the fears of gun advocates, by the politics, please dig deep and find new heart," urged Emily Nottingham, the mother of Gabe Zimmerman, the legislative staffer killed in the 2010 Tuscon shooting that disabled Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona.
"Think for a moment about your young staffers, your children or grandchildren," Nottingham continued. "Now imagine that that cell phone in your pocket is vibrating and the message says they have been murdered by a stranger with an assault weapon. Imagine that, then shore up your resolve and keep working to protect your staffers, our children, our nation. We need you to not give up."
However, Jerry Henry of the Georgiacarry.org website, which opposes tighter gun controls, told CNN that the Obama proposals were misdirected.
"He did absolutely nothing to address the criminal element," said Henry, who argued that studies show criminals get guns on the street instead of buying them from licensed gun shops that conduct background checks.
Fully enforcing existing gun laws and making criminals serve their full prison terms would do more to halt gun violence, according to Henry, who added that government "cannot legislate evil out of the minds of men."
Polls capture public sentiment
Vice President Joe Biden led a panel assembled by Obama to examine gun control steps after the Newtown shootings, which sparked a fierce public debate over how to prevent such mass killings. Biden's recommendations formed the basis of the package of proposals Obama announced Wednesday.
"The world has changed, and it's demanding action," Biden said at the White House event.
Opponents promise a political fight, with an NRA spokesman saying Tuesday that the group has experienced what he called an "unprecedented" spike in membership numbers since new calls for gun control began in the past month.

Royalty onboard the Royal Caribbean
I never fancied rushing to complete a blog entry, especially when it involves posting of numerous photos that required a heavy dose of editing. It's not just colour correction we're talking about here, there's sharpening, Liquify, framing, Lomo effect, etc. It's a lot of work and I have a certain standard I hope to achieve. The sad truth however, is that I've never really managed to achieve these supposed standards. Usually halfway through the process, I get tired of editing and decide to just get over and done with it - this is why I am usually not keen in creative entries competition.
That said, despite the tight time-frame given, and the huge amount of workload (at work) I'm juggling to manage, for the sake of my dear best friend Priss that has put in a lot of effort to complete her entry (and hopefully win the trip), I shall do my best (even though my best meant rushing it on a Wednesday evening when the deadline is Thursday morning)!
Royalty onboard the Royal Caribbean
Before I start my fairytale, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Alvin (who bothers to entertain me despite my sometimes ridiculous questions), everyone else from Omy.sg, as well as the good folks at Royal Caribbean. Without them (and me, thy royal Princess), this entry would not be possible.
It has been years since the last royal voyage, and I've longed to go onboard another. Hopefully this time, I would have more pleasant servants that doesn't keep nagging me for every little detail. I was young when I first went out to sea, my nanny wouldn't let me out of her sight and constantly made sure my pink fluffy dress, that wasn't all that fluffy, wouldn't cause me to fall overboard when a strong win blows. She wasn't all that smart if you ask me. I wasn't at all a petite little thing. No wind could have had that much strength to blow me overboard.
When Sir Alvin sent the invitation to tour a ship from the Royal Caribbean, I was delighted! Quickly I forwarded it to my girlfriends, hoping that all of us could go together. Fortunately for us, not all but most of us got the confirmation and all was set in digital writing – a phone call first then in digital writing to be more specific.
Sleepwear from Les Affaires.
Despite the exhaustion from the weekend before – our very first girls' staycation that involved a night partying at Zirca – I managed to drag myself out of bed, swiftly got ready, exited my chambers and excitedly got out of the palace. Before me, just outside my doorstep, stood the white carriage with my best friend in it! She was there to pick me up and together we were on our way!
She was late no doubt, but I expected nothing less. Mornings has never really been death's good friend (Priss is known infamously as deadrose during our younger days, therefore she is the supposed "death" in the sentence).
As we arrived at the port this bright and sunny Monday morning of November 22nd, from afar we could already see the rest of the girls waiting patiently. There were many "others" that I've never met before, gathered as well. A total of I-don't-know-how-many-of-us, I'm guessing 40.
This was like no other ship I've boarded before. The Legend of the Seas, which is under the Royal Caribbean, weighed a total of 70,000 tonnes and could house up to 2,074 passengers. It wasn't the largest ship of them all but large enough for just the six of us.
Left to right: Jacelyn, Nadia, Clara, Feliza, ME and Priss
I've never been a patient girl, but together with good friends, patience has became a virtue of mine, or so it seemed. Despite struggling with a huge bag filled with gadgets and "stuff", I managed to pleasantly and patiently wait as they took their own sweet time to verify our IDs and issue our passes. It didn't feel much like royalty there and then. In fact, it felt more like we were second class citizens. But then again, if you look at it in another perceptive, if they were not strict about their checks, any Tom, Dick and Harry would be allowed onboard. And we wouldn't want that.
Once onboard (finally), we were taken on a tour, a very fast-paced one if I may add.
With no shops open and no time to shop, withholding my tears, we entered and exited the "shopping mall" within minutes. If anchors were rise and ship set to sea, the shops would have been open and passengers would be able to enjoy Duty Free shopping at the Boutiques of Centrum (the "shopping mall" of this ship) located on level 5, near the Anchors Aweigh Lounge.
Come to think of it, there are really that many lounges/bars in this majestic place. So much so that most of which, apart from Anchors Aweigh Lounge, I can't even recall any part of its name – maybe the word "lounge" was within it but I can't be sure.
If not for photos, I'd probably not even remember the interior design of the place except that they are all lovely, much fitted for a member of the royal blood.
Every Princess needs to learn an instrument. I've learnt many and it just so happens that the piano is one of my best.
That said, I'd still rather leave it to the professions for public entertainment. I mean, I am a Princess after all. It only makes sense that I'm being entertained instead of entertaining, no?
The place was magnificent. It felt like I had return to my "castle on a cloud" (Les Miserables) except it was on sea and not air. Then again, this kinda just resembled Pan Pacific Hotel if you ask me.
Yes, there is such a thing called the Entertainment room, or rather That's Entertainment Theatre.
It's basically like a theater (huge one) with countless seats (or at least I didn't bother to count), with daily live performances.
There's a casino too, the Casino Royale, but we won't allowed any photography there.
There were many decks on this ship, 11th happened to be the highest, if not mistaken.
Where we stood, we could see the open pool.
A beautiful sight it was. Many, myself included, couldn't resist but snapped away with our cameras.
And for those that had not brought their camera, probably just Lady Priscilla, they probably used their phones (camera phones these days are really powerful).
Before long we were on deck 10, where the open pool was at, experiencing the rays for scorching sun. It is advised to use sunblock if you intend to go for a swim at noon when the ship is docked in Singapore. That said, if the sun is shining brightly, regardless where you are, and you intend to maintain skin as fair as mine, you should still put on sunblock. Black may always be in fashion, but burnt skin is definitely not.
If you're up for a little rock climbing, fear not! This ship is equipped with just about EVERYTHING you can imagine. Even an artificial wall for those who were up for a challenge (which is definitely not me)!
A mini-golf course!
With no servants around, I had all but my hands to help block the sunlight from my eyes. The sun was just too much, and I had not packed well for the outdoors, not today at least.
What's for lunch you ask? (No answer yet.)
Hungry, we were lead through a buffet lounge or restaurant, whichever you prefer to call it. However, what was before us was not for us to eat, and we were constantly reminded of it. But as the Princess, member of the royal family, I couldn't care the least. I reached out, grabbed what resembled a biscuit and fed my dear friend who was starting to get a little grouchy.
It was also mentioned that the food at the buffet table would be replaced constantly.
Still wondering about lunch? (Still waiting.)
As we continued our tour we were lead to the indoor pool with a jacuzzi beside it!
Tired, Lady Priscilla and myself could no longer walk and seated ourselves at one of the "sunbathing chairs" (or whatever you call it).
Before we knew it, we were off again. This time to where most ladies would consider, paradise, the Beauty Centre!
Would you not agree that a spa is perhaps second best to shopping?
You could also get some workout done if you wanted to. The gym equipment were pretty well facilitated.
While some hopped on the track-mail, I made my way to the endless mirrors and started camwhoring like what camwhore women like myself was meant to.
Eventually, more took my cue and joined in the fun. Lady Feliza looked gorgeous, even in reflections.
Before I continue, here my outfit for this voyage!
The top is from THEBLOGSHOP, necklace from MYnt Shop, bracelets from Forever 21, earrings from Bangkok (my sister bought them from Bangkok, I think), Domke camera bag, shorts and boots from Bugis Street.
Next, we explored the chambers.
The family suite was amazing but still second to The Royal Suite.
If you think about it, royal by blood, this suite is like customised-made just for me. Even its name hold my signature.
Finally, before people started fainting, lunch was served at the Romeo & Juliet Dining Room, located at one end of deck 4. I'm familiar with Shakespeare and even more so with Romeo × Juliet (ロミオ×ジュリエット, Romio to Jurietto), a TV anime series that is loosely based on William Shakespeare's classic play, Romeo and Juliet.
It was mentioned that many would dress up and dine at this restaurant. Hearing that my eyes somewhat lilted up. I was a sucker for gowns and all-else-pretty.
Images of me in an expensive and very much beautiful gown walking down the stairs, flash before my eyes.
And I'm guessing that Lady Feliza and Lady Clara felt the same.
Seated at our table, we were first served bread, then appetizer.
For appetizer we could choose between the Asian Style Chicken Soup or the Shrimp Cocktail Royal. I opted for soup but forgot to take a photo of it. We also had a choice of wine, either red or white. And like most of my lady companions, I went for white.
For the main course, Lady Priscilla had the Chef's Halibut, which is boiled fillet presented with Spanish soffrito and truffle scented polenta.
There are another two main course, the Shrimp Ravioli and the Lamb Shank with Rosemary, I had lamb shank.
Ending the meal, we were served dessert, the Ivory Chocolate Fondue, which comes with sweet berries in white chocolate mousse.
The half-day tour around the Legend of the Seas assured me that this was fit for royalty. They should be honoured to have graced my royal presence and I for their hospitality.
PS: Lady Priscilla had to leave a little earlier. Lady Nadia, Lady Jacelyn and myself then headed to Tiong Bahru Plaza for beauty needs and more desert! Hurhur.

I read about Roberta Sudbrack recently myself so I'm putting it on the list. Am especially interested in good not-fancy food and street food in both Salvador and Rio. We're staying at the Caesar Park, but will hop in a cab to go anywhere. Many thanks for your help.
Posted 21 February 2008 - 10:09 PM
I also recomend Roberta Sudbrack, but I work there so am very biased.. :)
It is the best restaurant in Rio.
In Rio: If you are looking for not fancy food, I suggest Pavão Azul or Caranguejo. You can just have a beer and a nibble at either, or have a proper meal. Both have been around for ages, are what we call "pé sujo", but are also really highly rated.
There's a great place called Bira, but it's quite a trek. You can make a day of it though... It's like, an hour and a half away from ipanema, but you drive down the coast so can stop at all the beaches. It's a great day trip.
I'd also visit the street markets,- there's one everyday somewhere close to where you'll be. If you like, I can e-mail you a list of addresses.
An interesting place to visit is also the Feira de São Cristovão,- day or night.
In my opinion, Rio is good for either top of the line restaurants (Roberta Sudbrack) or the ... mmm... I want to say dirty-looking, but that may put you off..., well, the other extreme of "top of the line". The in-between restaurants aren't really good at all, always a let down.
In SP, to add to what has already been said, you should stop by the Mercado Municipal.
Have a fantastic trip and if you want anymore advice or any help even when you're in Rio, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks Daisy17 !
I you want not-fancy food , i also recomend Bracarense , Jobi and Devassa.
You can go also to Porcão Rios to eat a lot of meat... Or go to a "boteco" and ask for a "picanha a Oswaldo Aranha".
You really should try the diferent juices from Bibi Sucos.
The Feira de São Cristovão is really a good place , but i not recomend you go alone there.
In Rio ask always for cooperative Taxi.
I recommend http://www.jbtaxi.com.br/.
Posted 23 February 2008 - 12:00 AM
And Bracarense is great! Have the bolinho de bacalhau (codfish cakes) with your chope.
And JB Taxi IS the best for getting around. Very reliable.
Posted 25 February 2008 - 09:00 PM
Aw, Ronaldo has good tips..: filé oswaldo Aranha, I'd say got to Hipódromo in Gávea, or Filé de Ouro in Jardim Botânico.

This sounds great but what is it?!
Posted 28 February 2008 - 02:56 PM
Zaza Bistro
Bar d'Hotel
They were recommended by friends of a friend.
Also, do we need to make dinner reservations way in advance? We're going to Roberta Sudbrack on Sat night at 9:30. Do we need to reserve for Fri/Sun nights?
thanks so much for your help!
Posted 28 February 2008 - 08:08 PM
"Thanks again for all of your help. We're staying at Ipanema - is there a good street market near there?"
Yeah! You can go to Garcia D'Ávila is the best street market in Rio.But the most expensive too.
Picanha a Oswaldo Araranha is Rump cover with garlic roasted like a barbecue with rice , fry potato cutter well dead , farofa and sometime feijão ( black beans)
Carlota and Zaza Bistro are good , but there is nothing special in my opinion...Just go there if you have time.If you have to choose , go to Zaza , there are some new dishes from Checo Gonzales !
Bar d'Hotel i didn´t know very well !
"Also, do we need to make dinner reservations way in advance? We're going to Roberta Sudbrack on Sat night at 9:30. Do we need to reserve for Fri/Sun nights?"
Oh Yeah all the good restaurants in Rio stay very busy in Fri/Sun ! And some of them do not make reservation. I think Roberta do.
Which Hotel would you stay ?

here is a very late reply, but which I think will be useful to any foreigner planning a trip to Brazil and wanting reliable restaurant tips.
Annual restaurant edition of the excellent magazine IN, published in Santiago
another great article from the same magazine...
VEJA SAO PAULO, the best magazine for finding out addresses and telephone numbers for any restaurant in São Paulo. Even if you don't understand Portuguese, simply type in the name of the restaurant in the search box and a short review will appear with, at the bottom, all the info you need.

this is my first post in the south america forum as I am about to travel to brazil for the first time.
I only have time for one great meal in Rio, and am highly considering visiting Roberta Sudbrack's.
the thing is I don't speak nore read portugese, and I can not find any infos in english.
.my only 3 options are monday may 5th, monday 12th (lunch), tuesday 13th lunch).
do you think booking a table for 1 on such short notice is possible ? is it even open on mondays?
.could someone give me an idea about the big menu price w/ wine ?
thank you very much
Posted 29 April 2008 - 05:09 AM
i took me a 10 min phonecall from france to someone who doesnt speak english nor french ( and i dont speak portugese nor spanish) to book a table for next tuesday.
but as they don't accept visa, i'd like to know how much cash I should bring.

Hi Daemon ! This is your Last Name ? Because i Have a Friend with de same Last name...
Roberta Sudbrack is the best without any doubts...
I think you will spend 180-240 reais for the menu plus the wine 80 ~ 1000 reais is up to you... !
You should try the e-mail to try a reservation email@example.com
Oh , The restaurant at his best is just at Night.At the luncj they just serve few entries...
Go at Night !!!
If you fail in making reservation, when you arrive in Rio ask for the hotel to do for you...
Posted 04 May 2008 - 08:16 PM
I just see now the dates :(
Did you went there ?
Posted 10 May 2008 - 06:34 AM
thanks for your answer and advice.
I had to delay my trip but will sure keep your info precisously.
thanks again ( and nop daemon is not my real name ;-)
Posted 18 May 2008 - 11:09 PM
I just saw your posts, so I don't know if you've been to Rio yet...
Roberta is open tuesday - saturday for dinner, and lunch only on thursday and fridays. Friday and Saturday nights are the best nights of the week (although they are also the busiest) because the prix fixe menu has more courses than during the week.
If you need any help, feel free to pm or e-mail me with questions.
I hope you have a great time!!
Posted 03 October 2008 - 09:55 AM
I agree almost completely with the posts above from fellows cariocas, but will add another input for help (or confusion, I don't know):
- High cuisine: Sudbrack and Olympe. I think they are both on a level of their own in the city and above Pre Catalan.
- Mid-level nice restaurants:
Carlota seems to me the most reliable. It is not too daring, just one touch or another, but everything tastes quite good. Deserts quite nice as well with local touches like Guava with cheese ice cream.
Zaza tends to experiment more with mixed results to my taste.
Bar D'Hotel is good food, but mostly a place to see people in a nice environment. I would not call it a food destination.
Zuka is a good option and Sushi Leblon as well. Try the sashimi variations with slices of Foie Gras on top. Quite good.
- Local: I agree that the simple is sometimes the best.
Filé de Ouro is probably the nicest beef in local variations. Another a La Carte meat place is called Majorica. Besides that you have the "rodizios" places where Porcão tends to have the best meat. Try farofa.
Bira is really good for local food with wonderful sight seeing on the way and there. You'll eat with small monkeys (of the Cebus genus type, Google says) around you. Siri Mole is very good for sea food in Bahia style (African influenced).
- I would add Antiquarius for one of the best Portuguese food outside Portugal...I guess. This is on the more expensive side, though.
Finally, pizza (everyone eats them at some point), there is Capriciosa, which to me has the best ingredients.
I hope this helps someone in the future.

this is for anyone planning a trip to Rio or SP and is researching restaurants. My list of tips:
1- For those who have trouble booking a table due to language barriers, the best thing to do is either call or email the concierge of the hotel where you'll be staying and ask them to do it for you. Any 5 star hotel offers this service, as do many 4 star hotels. Another good tip is to use the concierge service of your credit card (Visa Signature, Amex centurion, etc) - premium cards offer premium services, so make good use of them! BTWY, reservations are essencial at Roberta Sudbrack and D.O.M. and any other high-end restaurant. Do keep in mind, however, that Brazilians dine late, so if you show up at 8 without a reservation you might get a table. The big rush usually starts at 9.
2- For reviews in English of Roberta Sudbrack and other restaurants in São Paulo and Rio, with photos, you may want to check out the site Brazil for Insiders
3- For those looking for good recommendations of very casual places in Rio, the secret password is boteco (bow-tekk-ow), which means small bar. Rio is famous for its wonderful botecos, which are very simple bars, usually with rickety tables set up on the sidewalk, where you can have an excellent meal for under 10 dollars. things to try include caldinho de feijão (black bean soup), bolinho de bacalhau (cod croquettes), empadinha de palmito (crumbly, buttery pastry filled with seasoned heart of palm and baked) and pastel (samosa-like deep-fried pastry with fillings that come in a few standard flavours, cheese, meat or shrimp). Rio's most famous boteco is the Bracarense, in the Leblon district, adjacent to Ipanema.
hope this helps!

In most cities I try to avoid the tourist-oriented restaurants, but if you visit Pelourinho I can recommend the Feijoada served at the restaurant on the main square.
In Rio: Street Food
I remember the carts selling great Kibbeh.

Roberta SudBrack and Eñe for me are the best in town!
Posted 16 December 2009 - 12:25 PM
Roberta Sudbrack is a more sure bet...
Posted 16 December 2009 - 02:31 PM
In Eñe Rio i ate more than 5 times and it is always perfect. The service is bad i have to adimt, but this is a major problem in Rio de Janeiro. Roberta i ate 3 times; One it was ok, the second superb and the third very good.

Six international kiteboarders attempt the first ever non-stop 6,000km Atlantic Ocean crossing departing from the Canary Islands in late November 2013
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Christopher Columbus was alleged to have made first landfall in the Western world on the shores of the Caribbean's Turks and Caicos Islands. Though an unproven fact, the six riders of the Atlantic Kite Challenge will leave no doubt once they arrive at the destination's Blue Haven Resort and Marina.
Between November 20 and 25, the kiteboarders will soar from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands embarking on the first-ever, non-stop 6000-km crossing of the Atlantic Ocean bound for their official arrival destination, Turks and Caicos Islands.
Following a South Atlantic route, their arrival, estimated between December 7 and 15, coincides with the grand opening of Blue Haven Resort and Marina. The property is the "official arrival destination" hotel for the Atlantic Kite Challenge. The kitesurfers will be welcomed with a three day celebration.
During the crossing, which will feature social media posts with photos of all six participants, the kitesurfers will take over from one another every two hours surfing both day and night. In this longest ever "downwinder" they will be supported by a 50-foot catamaran, Lagoon 500 Double A, and its professional crew. A TV crew will also be on board documenting the crossing.
The Atlantic Kite Challenge is the brainchild of Netherlands-based Filippo van Hellenberg Hubar, founder of the Enable Passion Foundation. Filippo will be one of the six kiteboarders partaking in the Challenge along with Max Blom, also from the Netherlands, Camilla Ringvold of Norway, Bruno Sroka of France, Francisco Lufinha of Portugal and Eric Pequeno from the United States.
"We are so pleased to have found the perfect arrival destination for our venture. Turks and Caicos is a very well known kiting destination with stunning clear water. After the long journey through the entire Atlantic Ocean, the warm waters around Blue Haven and its outstanding facilities will more than make up for the hardships of the crossing" Hubar said.
Enable Passion is a non-profit foundation that strives to inspire people in realizing their passions, by organizing and carrying out extraordinary and pioneering projects.
