Follow me on Twitter: @BryanJFischer, on Facebook at "Focal Point"
By tyrannically, unconstitutionally, unethically, immorally
and unconscionably waiving the ObamaCare employer mandate, King Barack the
Lawless has reversed 798 years of political progress and taken us back to the
days of dictators and the rule of men.
King Barack the Lawless has decided that the law is whatever
he says it is.
This is exactly the kind of despotism that impelled the
nobles of England, in 1215, to force King John of England to sign the Magna
Carta, which limited his power and forced him to acknowledge that the law was
not an arbitrary thing subject to his own will and caprice.
Lord Denning described it as "the greatest
constitutional document of all times – the foundation of the freedom of the
individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot." The governing and
political philosophy enshrined in the Magna Carta led inexorably to the
governing documents in the individual colonies and eventually to the United
States Constitution, with its checks and balances and restraints on any one branch
of government arrogating dictatorial powers to itself.
The genius of the American political experiment is that we
are a nations of laws. The Founders created a system of government in which we
operate under the rule of law, not under the capricious and arbitrary rule of
King Barack the Lawless had no authority of any kind to
decide on his own that a duly enacted law - which he himself insisted on and
signed into law! - can simply be set aside and ignored.
He cannot and must not be allowed to do this.
If this is allowed to stand, we will have become a banana
republic rather than a constitutional republic.
The Constitution itself will be a meaningless piece of
parchment with perhaps some sentimental value to collectors of antique
documents but worthless for any substantive purpose. We will have allowed the
president to substitute his own will for the will of the Founders and the
American people.
He must be forced to choke on his own miserable creation or
sign its total repeal.
He obviously now realizes that ObamaCare is every bit the
train wreck Sen. Max Baucus said it was and toxic to the electoral chances of
Democrats in 2014, which is why he has waived the employer mandate until after
the elections take place.
His act of tyranny is being done for nakedly political
reasons, and reveals that he does not in fact believe his own bill is in the
best interests of the American people. Otherwise, he would forge ahead and
force us to choke on this misbegotten monstrosity.
This move on Obama's part is a travesty and fundamentally
unfair even to the large employers he claims to be helping, many of whom have
already made virtually irreversible decisions to adjust to the draconian
diktats of ObamaCare.
And it is grossly unfair to those who buy insurance in the
individual market, who did not get a waiver,and to Christian-run businesses,
which did not get a waiver from the abortifacient mandate. Thus Obama hurts the
little guy again, and engages in the very crony fascism he condemns by giving a
break to corporations he does not give to ordinary Americans.
Barack the Lawless now is restrained only by what he thinks
he can get away with. Antonin Scalia scathingly observed that the same is now
true of the Supreme Court. Harry Reid and the Senate are equally lawless and
unrestrained by either the law or the Constitution.
What this means is that two and a half of the three branches
of our central government are now in the hands of lawless, immoral and godless
men. Our republic now is hanging by one thin thread: conservatives in the House
of Representatives. If the House caves, say on amnesty, that last remaining
thread will snap and we will plunge at warp speed into the abyss.
May God have mercy on us all.

Chicago, Illinoi...
I used vintage Butterick 7651 for this dress.
Cutting out all of my fabric took at least 3 separate evenings. The skirt is made up of eight gores. Originally it was only 6 gores, but I separated the center front and center back piece (cut on the fold) into 2 separate pieces. I wanted to have a center front seam line in order to create the chevron pattern that would fall in line with the center front of the bodice.
This dress is quite intricate, so if you're looking for more details please hop on over to my blog: http://zilredloh.com/2012/04/18/butterick-7651-my-nautical-inspired-dress/
Silk fabric, organza for stabilization, bias binding, horsehair braid for hem, etc.

Thanks so much you guys! I have to admit – I actually had no idea this was 100% silk fabric when I made the dress, I only found out a few weeks after when I saw it on Mood's site. The hand feels like a very sleek cotton sateen as it has a crisp yet smooth texture – just like any cotton sateen would… It made me love the dress even more so after the fact.

Jenna Goudreau, Forbes Staff
I write about business and women's leadership.
The average American will spend nearly $800 on Christmas gifts this year, and 30% will spend more than $1,000, according to recent Gallup research. And that's just on presents. When you consider the extra food, decoration and shipping costs, you could easily spend an entire paycheck–or more–on Yuletide trimmings.
"The holiday spirit can act like Novocaine, desensitizing us to the costs," says Mary Hunt, personal finance expert and author of Debt-Proof Your Christmas. "We all want to give our family a nice Christmas, but it's dangerous to go into debt. People are waking up to the fact that it isn't just spending money that makes us happy at the holidays."
It can be pain-free and even rewarding to rein in your holiday spending, Hunt insists. The first step is to put the plastic away. Seal your credit cards in an envelope and commit to not touching them. Next, set a reasonable cash budget for all of your holiday spending. If you need to, cut back in other areas of your life to funnel more into your Christmas fund. For example, skip a grocery trip by making do with what's already in your pantry, or replace pricey sodas and alcoholic beverages with water at restaurants.
Then, it's time to get organized and creative. Hunt offers her surprising tips to celebrate the season without breaking the bank.
Rethink Your Gift List
For most families, the majority of the holiday budget is spent on gifts. When you include extended family, friends and service workers—colleagues, school teachers, delivery people and security guards, for instance—the dollars signs can quickly add up. Hunt recommends making a list of everyone in your life you'd like to give something to and prioritizing them. Typically your spouse and children would be ranked highest, followed by close family and then your extended network. Then you can plan how you'd like to spread the money out.
"Ask yourself which of those people would be happy with a simple card and handwritten note," Hunt says. "For many, it really is the thought." If you'd like to give something small, she suggests getting creative with low-cost gifts—a homemade treat from your kitchen or an "I owe you" night of babysitting or catching up. Some of Hunt's favorite go-to gifts are craft-store goody bags filled with pistachios and chocolate candies from the discount store and tied off with a festive ribbon.
It's also good for your children—and wallet—to rein in expectations early, says Hunt. When her two kids were young, she asked them to limit their Christmas wish-lists to just one item they really wanted. While she and her husband often gave more than the one, the strategy helped them focus on quality vs. quantity and zapped some of the greediness that often comes with the holidays.
Get Creative With Decorations
Decorating your home for the holidays is a great way to get into the spirit of the season, but there's no need to blow your budget, says Hunt. She recommends focusing your efforts on three high-traffic areas of your house: the front door, the dining room table and either the fireplace, stairway or a another focal point in your living area. That will take the cost (and the stress) out of trying to decorate every corner and countertop in your house.
I have active visions of the year that Christmas reflects the value of giving in smiles and service. I used to ask people what they would do on Christmas if they only had $10. The concept of the secret santa gifts were on to something. Imagine a world where each person had a monetary limit and had to give the remainder in goodness, smiles, mentoring, and hugs.
After all I am certain there are many people that will benefit from the joy of others simply being in their presence, add a hot meal, and a conversation about joy, prosperity, and peace and I think thats a Christmas with a meaning.
Too many will give their last, spend all they have, and never even take a moment to think about the real meaning. Thank YOU for writing this article as it may ignite others to revisit the origin and the meaning of this holiday as it has nothing to do with overspending, placing yourself in debt, or being your year with guilt.
I want interviewers ready to talk to people on 12.26 after they have exhausted themselves and their wallets and lets share perspective.
WE must hold ourselves responsible for better. I am happy to have read your opportunity as I believe knowledge is power! Happy Merry Healthy Holidays to YOU!

As you, my faithful readers, know, the past week has been a crazy, crazy, crazy one in Jennaland! I'm happy to report that last week's fundraiser supporting Adoption Resources of Wisconsin was a hit - we had an excellent time, celebrated with old friends and new and raised a great big ole chunk of money to support the organization. If you were one of the folks who participated in - or even checked out - the online auction we were hosting as part of the event, I want to say thank you. You rock. :)
In the midst of the craziness, I did manage to read two books and start a third. (See? I never stop with the reading!) Have you all done anything exciting or read anything outstanding in the past week?
Now, I want to share something that's going on that's really pretty stinkin' special. My home is decorated with several pieces of art that have been curated (not just framed, it's better than that!) by my friends at Carey Frameworks, a Fond du Lac-based business. Now, I know that Black Friday is coming up, as well as Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. And my friends at Carey Frameworks have made a truly wonderful offer benefiting Adoption Resources of Wisconsin: 10% of EVERY sale made online from now through Christmas is to be donated to ARW. Every sale! No coupons, no codes, just shop online, make your purchases and you are helping to not only support a local small business, but also support the work of a local charity! But wait! There's more! (I'm getting out my infomercial voice here.) There's a 40% sale going on at the same time! So, you can get some beautiful and unique products and gifts, save 40% and give to charity! It's a win-win-win! (I'm overusing the exclamation points, huh? But I'm excited! I can't help it!)
So, that's my huge, big, exciting news. I hope you take a moment to check out Carey Frameworks and their quality products, shop small, shop local, get a great deal and give back a little, too.

A Muskogee Public Schools school bus was involved in a collision Wednesday afternoon in Oklahoma City, said Melony Carey, MPS spokeswoman.
None of the special education students on board were hurt. Students on the bus were on their way to Special Olympics competition in Norman when the bus was hit from behind by a tractor-trailer rig which caused the bus to be pushed into another vehicle.
The bus sustained minor damage, but another bus will be sent to Norman to transport students to Muskogee following the Olympics.
The students were escorted from the scene of the collision to their motel.

The fridge has been stripped of beer, the rent payment is delinquent, your roommates have conveniently disappeared, and it's your job to make them pony up. What do you do?
It is a conundrum faced by untold numbers of treasurers, frat boys and non-profit fundraisers: getting people to pay or donate some cash, often in very small increments.
Enter WePay, a Palo Alto-based startup that makes collecting money online fast, easy, and if co-founder Rich Aberman has his way, a more popular alternative to PayPal.
"We have the transactional payment platform that PayPal has," said Aberman. "So, it's easy for both sides to collect payments online, but at the same time we provide very simple tools that allow anybody, whether you have a website or not, whether you know how to program or not, to start collecting money online the way that you want to."
PayPal isn't exactly the kind of adversary most people would want. With a 100 million active users, it's on track to become eBay's biggest business in 3-5 years. Last year, it reported $3.4 billion in revenue and expects to double that by 2013.
Launched last year after a bootstrapped two-year grind, WePay is now processing millions of dollars in monthly transactions, has tens of thousands of monthly users, 33 employees, and is growing its user base and revenues by at least 30 percent month over month, Aberman said.
What began as an attempt to make online payments easy has, according to Aberman, morphed into a product tailored, for now at least, to the long tail of the online-payment market. That is, non-merchants.
"Fifteen years ago it was eBay merchants who wanted to collect payments online for the first time," he said, "and PayPal kind of satisfied that need. But I think it's going down-market a lot more, where it's normal people like you or me—that are, say, planning a bachelor party, or throwing an event, or, say, want to accept donations for a sick friend—that know that there are easy online tools for that."
Networked media consultant Barry Parr thinks the market for an alternative to PayPal is out there, but cautions against getting too excited about any competitor, given the difficulty startups have in getting buyers to switch platforms.
"Paypal has fallen behind the industry in innovation and user experience," said Parr. "But, they're deeply embedded in the economy of the web. WePay looks like a good solution for markets where the buyers and sellers have a long-lasting relationship and relatively high unit price. But I don't see how it can disrupt Paypal's core business. Anything that causes buyer hesitation, such as a new payment service or additional registration process, will cost more in sales than it saves in fees."
Aberman is quick to note that WePay's core user group is not made up of PayPal defectors, however, but rather individuals discovering for the first time the ease of collecting cash online.
Many of the early adopters were San Jose and Stanford-based student groups and fraternities. Last week, when a San Jose State University frat house burned down, they set up a fundraising event and collected donations with WePay. Indeed, online ticket sales for fundraising events comprise an increasingly large share of WePay's business, Aberman says.
And last summer, the company earned the love of Burning Man artists when the group building the Temple—a recurring installation built by a different crew each year—hit a major snag.
Flux Foundation, which was using PayPal as their donation platform, had their assets frozen after a spike in donations triggered an anti-fraud mechanism. With just weeks to go before the event, the story got picked up in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and Aberman picked up the phone.
"I called them and said, look, we'll give you an interest-free loan so you can get out there and build the Temple at Burning Man," Aberman said, "so you're not getting stuck having no funds whatsoever, and then you can pay us back once PayPal releases the funds."
Having never been to Burning Man before, Aberman nonetheless wanted to build "good karma" in the community.
The next day, perhaps in response to the bad publicity, PayPal unfroze Flux Foundation's assets, but the group decided to stay with WePay, and this year Flux continues to use the service along with the 2011 Temple crew, Rue Morgue, The Great Lakes C.O.R.E. Project, and a girl named Amber, to name a few.
"We will endeavor to define ourselves as a human version of PayPal—a site that you will enjoy using, and where there are real people on the opposite end of the phone," said Aberman. "I think that kind of resonated with the Burning Man people."
Institutional investors are also coming on board. WePay raised $1.7 million a year ago from August Capital and closed $7.5 million from Highland Capital Partners a couple of months ago.
Joshua Goines, CFO of Tempo Payments, a web-based debit card solution provider, says WePay has tremendous potential, but an uphill battle.
"WePay has developed an intriguing payment platform focused on simplifying the group account management and payment experience," said Goines. "The company has found several rich consumer veins for its product, including the university and non-profit segments, and is poised to grow rapidly. WePay's creative product and team have the DNA to become a tremendous company."
To do so, however, will require anticipating what could be a major fight with the web's go-to transaction provider, Goines said.
"PayPal has built a phenomenal business with an accelerating growth curve and is more important to eBay every day," he said. "It has become part of the web's fabric. I would expect PayPal to defend its turf vigorously and invest significant resources in the segments showing the greatest promise."
With a flat 3.5 percent fee on transactions, WePay is cheaper than PayPal for payments under $50. But it needs to find a way to court bigger spenders. Aberman thinks the next version of their API, due out in the next few weeks, may be that golden ticket.
"I think it will take what is basically a better product to get these big ticket companies, these donation companies to say oh, we're currently integrated with PayPal, our customers don't like using PayPal, our customers accounts are getting frozen, the technology is crappy, cards are getting declined—we don't know why—we need to redirect our users offsite all the time," said Aberman. "If WePay provides a better solution for accepting payments, we'll integrate with their payment piece."
"We think it's a real possibility," he said.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — The toll taker booths at the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority have long been considered a haven for political patronage jobs, and so it is good to see that Gov. Deval Patrick is taking a stab at making the tolls more efficient for the people who should matter most — the driving public.
What makes the governor's proposal even more relevant to the average motorist is his efforts to advance Massachusetts up to the latest technology in tolls, the so-called "open-road tolling" system. It's a system that works well, as the Interstate 95 tolls in Hampton, N.H., have amply illustrated.
In Hampton, there are now two high-speed lanes in each direction that motorists with EZPass technology can use. Their toll is "collected" by electronic equipment as they speed through at 65 mph. There are also some traditional tollbooths open for those who don't have the passes. The net impact is a vast improvement over what used to be the norm at the Hampton tolls. No longer do we see the nine-mile backups on holiday weekends. Cars move through at a rapid pace, and even on weekends when volume is very high, the wait times and congestion are no longer intolerable.
Patrick plans to introduce open-road tolling on the Massachusetts Turnpike, which is the most notorious toll bottleneck in the state. We've all heard the horror stories of 10-mile and even 20-mile backups on holiday weekends, all caused by the inefficient tolling system. Open tolling is a good solution to this problem.
Our biggest concern is what steps the Legislature will take to ensure that patronage jobs are protected, at taxpayers' expense of course. There are too many cousins, uncles, and coat-holders on the payroll for anyone to be deluded into thinking that these antiquated jobs will just wash away. Though many toll takers' income is in the $45,000 to $55,000 range plus all the usual perks such as pensions and generous benefits, some earn over $100,000 a year. These are jobs that will be fought for.
The upgraded system is expected to cost about $100 million, and will eliminate 320 toll taker jobs. It is expected to pay for itself in three years. Details will be revealed next month, and presented to the state Legislature.
If there is a piece of the governor's plan that we don't like, it is the fact that once again the door has been left open to install tolls on major highways such as I-93 and at the state borders. Imagine the gridlock we would encounter here or with tollbooths on I-95 in or near Salisbury, plus the Hampton tolls, plus the other tolls on I-95 in Maine and Route 16 in New Hampshire. What a step backward that would be.
Using technology to reduce toll booth back-ups is fine, but vigilance is required. The technology for open-road tolling can be used to support all kinds of tax-raising schemes, such as congestion pricing and replacing the gas tax with a miles-driven tax.
In a better world, highway tolls would be banned. They create congestion, delay, air pollution, and too often put a black splotch on a holiday weekend getaway. They are a holdover from man's ancient past when kingdoms and empires did not have sophisticated tools to collect taxes. We have those tools today, but tolls continue to linger on, long after those kingdoms and empires have crumbled to dust.
We hope for that better world, but in the real world we'll accept a more efficient way to collect tolls.

African business, politics and lifestyle
Is Africa a good bet?
For those looking to invest in Africa, the best prospects are in Nigeria and Ethiopia according to a new index of potential investment destinations published this week.
But should anybody want to put money into Africa at a time the global financial crisis and falling prices for export commodities, on which the continent is so reliant, have discouraged investors who had begun to see some African countries as promising frontier markets?
"Africa is going to overtake the Middle East to become the second fastest growing region in the world after emerging Asia. It will be affected by the global financial crisis but it is much less exposed than many places," Katharine Pulvermacher, chief executive of business consultancy African Rainbow said this week on the launch of its Star of Africa index.
The index's creators told my colleague Peter Apps that potential growth in energy, water and communications consumption could amply reward investors taking the risk in Africa. South Africa, Mauritius and Tanzania took third, fourth and fifth place respectively on the index. Somalia, Chad and Eritrea were the least appealing countries for investors.
A tale of two Africas
Good news and bad news for Africa from the latest take on global risks from the World Economic Forum. Not much danger for most of the continent, it says, from an asset bubble burst. That's the good. The bad, of course, is that this is because there are not many financial assets to bubble. In fact, it deems the overall exposure even to economic risks is small because African economies are not particularly tied in to global markets.
Actually, the report shows that there are two Africas. Mapped by their susceptibility for economic and asset bubble trouble, most African countries are bunched together in a low risk range. But another, smaller cluster, including Nigeria and South Africa, finds itself in much more peril and shares space on the WEF risk map with Western and Eastern Europe.

A word from Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
Bringing the best fried chicken and freshest farm ingredients from Florida and Georgia to the table since 2011, Yardbird has since garnered the praises of the James Beard Foundation as a semi-finalist for "Best New Restaurant South" and as one of Bon Appétit's "50 Best New Restaurants" in 2012.
Yardbird sticks to the values of tradition, family, and community with a menu of "soul-nurturing" dishes intended for sharing. A warm, comforting environment lets guests feel relaxed and at home while dining at Yardbird. Southern touches add to the nostalgia, like antique candlestick holders, wildflowers on all the tables, and handmade light fixtures outfitted with Edison bulbs in Mason jars.

Diner Reviews
always delicious! We love taking
our friends there, so much fun and the food is so good!"
Dined on 7/27/2014
The food is amazing. The price is
expensive but the taste is well worth the splurge."
Dined on 7/24/2014
While the decor is nothing fab the
food and drinks were amazing! Best frog legs I've ever had."
Dined on 7/23/2014
Our third visit to Yardbird, our
third great meal. The portions are large enough to share. I highly recommend the Sunday chicken, it is fabulous!!! The fried green tomato appetizer is also one of a kind! The salads are delicious as well. This is a high energy place, if you like it really quiet this might not be the place for you. The wine is moderately priced. I recommend reservations as the bar area is small if you have to wait. A South Beach must!"
Dined on 7/23/2014
All was amazing, server had
recommendations which I love especially since it was our first time. Read great reviews on the restaurant and decided it was a must. In fact many people we met in Miami spoke quite highly of Yardbird. Be prepared as portions are huge so make sure you have room for the star: Llewlyn's Fried Chicken. The only real let down was the $7 espresso? A bit shocking to be honest. Not quite sure why, I own many restaurants (Toronto & LA) and a bakery in Toronto....espresso should not cost more than $3.5 even if you're roasting your own beans. Come on, Really? Hotels are not even charging this much! Other than that it is a must try!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
This was a fun night out with
friends for casual dining. Great southern cuisine. Excellent and unusual cocktail menu. Great helpful staff! The fried chicken is outstanding as is the Mac & Cheese! Do not pass on the lime donut balls for dessert - yum!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Great food and service in an uber
touristy area. Book ahead as hard to find tables for the busiest times."
Dined on 7/21/2014
Overall a decent spot to eat. The
biscuits where a little harder then expected, the Mac N Cheese was a little too imitational and the seating for two where to close to others seating for two. When one person who sits on the long couch like benches, if they need to get up they have to walk in between their table and the group next to them which was literally inches apart. So my date had to get up and use the bathroom and her butt was pretty much in the next couple faces and personal space. Not really lived up to the hype over this spot."
Dined on 7/20/2014
Yardbird has me wanting fried
chicken and waffles every-time i'm in miami beach. Good vibes and great service."
Dined on 7/20/2014
Excellent menu, great bar, our
server was very knowledgeable and attentive. He based his suggestions on where we were from and our basic tastes for food. The atmosphere was upbeat and it was a great brunch all around."
Dined on 7/20/2014
Yardbird has the best tasting
southern food that i have ever tasted since i been in South Florida! Cant wait to go back!"
Dined on 7/19/2014
Miami has "out-south'ed" the South
with combined ingredients that bring new life to old Southern recipe's. 50 Eggs has the Midas Touch!"
Dined on 7/19/2014
Best fried chicken ever. The
service excellent and the cocktails are amazing"
Dined on 7/18/2014
We had a great evening! Thank you
to our server, Julian, for his recommendations on menu items, and for guiding us through the evening dining process with his polished and friendly service. It was by far the best service experience that our small group of three had on our 3-day trip to Miami Beach."
Dined on 7/17/2014
Food is excellent and enough to
share the charred okra and fried chicken are staples"
Dined on 7/14/2014
Typical only in the array of
ingredients featured, Yardbird promises a truly memorable experience on multiple levels. The restaurant occupies a prominent corner location close to bustling South Beach, Lincoln Road and other attractions. The interior can be described as Southern rustic chic, with high ceilings, intimate lighting, a bustling bar scene and a semi open kitchen. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, especially Andrew, who has served us on two occasions, both three star experiences. His cocktail recommendations were spot on based on our stated preferences, as was his advice to order a few items to share because the kitchen gets good and busy so all of the items ordered by your table may not arrive together. Ask for him."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Always cordial service and
comfortingly delicious food!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
The food/drink and service is
amazing! My only complaint is that the tables for 2 were very close together. It was hard to have your own conversation with the other tables so close."
Dined on 7/12/2014
I had been very excited about
going to Yardbird, and we went for my birthday. I found the food to be mediocre at best. The fried chicken was overcooked, and the ribs were very tough. The biscuits and the mac n cheese were phenomenal, but everything was very expensive and a la carte. So you pay $40 for a dish, and then you pay $10 for each side. I can't see myself coming back here anytime soon. And the service seemed to want us out of there as quick as possible. I've never seen anything like it. The dude was all over us. And we received our food literally 5 minutes after ordering, which makes me wonder how fresh the food was."
Dined on 7/11/2014
We only could get a 6:15
reservation which was OK but we were rushed to the point of amazement , ordered couple of courses within minutes entire order came out, tables on both sides of us had same rushed experience and we're not pleased."
Dined on 7/11/2014
We loved this restaurant. The
fried chicken is a must have!!! The special hot sauce they bring is incredible. The mac'n cheese is evil and delicious. The bourbon blueberry lemonade was fantastic. Our server was adorable. Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 7/10/2014
The food lives up to the
reputation here!! Chicken & waffles, fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese & pork belly. Awesome... Setting is eclectic & fun, if a bit noisy. The service was a little erratic though. We were greeted & seated promptly, got our menus.. Then our waiter disappeared for quite a while before we were able to order drinks. We had to wave down a server finally to fin our waiter. That said, this was the only low point in an otherwise great dining experience!"
Dined on 7/10/2014
This place is very unique for a
typical South Beach restaurant. The service is absolutely outstanding! The hostess was very warm and welcoming and our waiter was very attentive. He came by our table many times just to refill our sweet tea and water. The atmosphere is very unique, too. Very clean and nice decor. Our table was a one of the center booths. It was very nice and intimate, despite having the feel of a very full and packed restaurant. The food is great. Must try their fried green tomatoes and fried chicken. Their waffles were okay, nothing very special. This place is not very kid-friendly, but they did call us (prior to our arrival) to tell us about not having a high chair for our baby."
Dined on 7/8/2014
The food is exceptional. Very
southern with a Miami twist. We have been there several times and have enjoyed it every time. Warning though, portions are huge, definitely a place to be able to share"

Dined on 7/4/2014
My husband and I ate here while on
vacation. Our waiter was fantastic and gave us some excellent menu recommendations. (Portions are large and food is meant to be shared. It would be easy to order too much.) The food was amazing and service was the best we had in south Florida. It was reasonably priced as well. My husband commented that it was the best meal he could remember in a restaurant in quite a while."
Dined on 7/4/2014
Always great. However, the
desserts are too "cheffy." I couldn't find one I really had to have, and I tried! Sometimes, tradition is a good thing......"

This restaurant never disappoints!
I also love that in the 2 years I have been going there, much of the staff is the same. This says a lot about the management and why the experience is consistent."
Dined on 6/29/2014
If you are looking for
unbelievable fried chicken, light and fluffy biscuits and incredible Mac n' cheese, this is the place to come. Portions are huge and should be shared. Come hungry and enjoy! The only issue is that honey have a small kitchen and the food comes out all at once. Service is accomodating and even though I was just a party of one, they were just as gracious and attentive. Will definitely go back when I am in Miami."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Excellent menu and location. A bit
pricey, but worth it if you can afford it. Host was accommodating to fit a few more people in my party."
Dined on 6/28/2014
We are from Atlanta and heard
about this restaurant from a friend who lives in Alabama. We made a special stop for brunch while in town and loved it. Will definitely be back next time!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Every time I come here the place
gets better. In addition to fried chicken to drool over, they have the best mac & cheese and you have to try the maple-glazed bacon donuts....I want to go get another just typing about them!!!!"

GALVESTON, Texas -- Two young would-be-burglars got more than they bargained for early Friday morning, and it was all captured on the victim's home surveillance system.
Galveston police said the criminals, who could be as young as 16-years-old, began kicking in a man's door while he was home.
It happened just after midnight in the 2900 block of Avenue K.
According to police, the criminals didn't seem to care that the man was home. That's not the only thing that stands out about them.
Police believe one of the suspects could be deaf because the pair appears to be using sign language in surveillance video.
"Disabilities don't hamper somebody from committing a crime," said Chief Henry Porretto with Galveston Police. "I think that somebody who breaks into somebody's house while someone is home is one of the most disturbing things that can happen to someone."
Police said the homeowner who was targeted was alerted by a noise at his back door. He then reportedly watched the suspects from inside on his surveillance system.
One of the suspects eventually kicked in the man's back door, and police said he "threatened to kill" the homeowner.
The homeowner had a gun of his own and opened fire. The single shot just missed one of the intruders.
"I'm thinking they're teenage boys sneaking from some girl's house. That's how young they looked," said next door neighbor Jocelyn Newton.
Newton believes she saw the two teens pass by her porch minutes before they began terrorizing the neighbor next door.
"It was like boom," Newton said.
A short time later, Newton said she heard a banging on her door. She thought the intruders were coming for her.
"They opened the door and shined the light on me. When I looked up, they screamed GPD and grabbed my arm, pulling me out of my bed," Newton said.
Newton claims police stormed through her house searching for the suspects.
The suspects had already escaped the neighborhood, but police don't think they'll be able to run for long.
Police call the homeowner's surveillance video a key to solving this case. Investigators are following up on a number of leads and believe the suspects likely live in the Galveston area.
The homeowner who shot at those suspects also had his home broken into in June.
It's unclear if these could be the same criminals, and police said they're not sure why these teens picked this particular house.

One of the quickest and easiest ways for a motorcycle, ATV or UTV rider to get more power out of their machine is to stuff more air into the combustion chamber. How can they do that? With a freer flowing air filter. Give the dirt bike rider on your Christmas list a high-flow air liter like the Maxima ProFilter RTU and they'll be impressed with your knowledge of internally combustible engines. Don't fret, Maxima also offers UTV air filters and ATV air filters as well, so pretty much all your motorsports enthusiasts are covered.

I love baseball. The actual game really and discussions around it. I'm less into the statistics but they are a usual part of baseball discussions. I'm even less into sabermetrics though I do acknowledge they provide another interesting way to look at the stats of the game and do have merit in potential decision making in the game.
So I was really happy to see this morning's Xconomy post that compared evaluating baseball with the evaluating a drug development pipeline. I thought many of the analogis held up pretty well -- you'll have to read it and decide for yourself. But one thing is correct in my view, we should continue to strive to find the best metrics to look at the success of drug development and open our minds toward doing this and operating in a fashion different than our historic past. It is well pas that time.

Talk on Surveillance of Internet and Mobile Communications
Christopher Soghoian, a technology and privacy expert, will give a presentation "Can You Hear Me Now? Law Enforcement Surveillance of Internet and Mobile Communications" on Wednesday, March 13, 7 p.m., in the Heck Courtroom.
Soghoian will discuss the increase of surveillance by law enforcement and telecommunications companies and how individuals can keep their private information private and out of government databases.
He is the principal technologist and a senior policy analyst with the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. Soghoian is also a visiting fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project.
His Ph.D., which he completed at Indiana University in 2012, focused on the role that third-party service providers play in facilitating law enforcement surveillance of their customers. His research has appeared in publications including the Berkeley Technology Law Journal and been cited by several federal courts, including the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Between 2009 and 2010, he was the first in-house technologist at the Federal Trade Commission's Division of Privacy and Identity Protection, where he worked on investigations of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Netflix. Prior to joining the FTC, he co-created the Do Not Track privacy anti-tracking mechanism now adopted by all major web browsers.
Program Overview
Telecommunications carriers and service providers play an essential role in facilitating modern surveillance by law enforcement agencies. While police select the individuals to be monitored, the actual surveillance is performed by third parties: often the same email providers, search engines and telephone companies to whom consumers have entrusted their private data.
Although assisting Big Brother has become a routine part of business, the true scale of law enforcement surveillance has long been shielded from the general public, Congress and the courts. However, recent disclosures by wireless communications carriers reveal that the companies now receive approximately one and a half million requests from U.S. law enforcement agencies per year.
When automated, industrial-scale surveillance is increasingly the norm, is communications privacy a thing of the past? For those of us who'd like to keep our private information out of government databases, what options exist, and which tools and services are the best?

Wuthering Heights
Available on VOD beginning March 12
Having dissected class conflict in the U.K. in her acclaimed films "Red Road" and "Fish Tank," director Andrea Arnold now jumps back 200 years to provide a similar take on Emily Brontë's classic. Arnold's "Wuthering Heights" is grubby and elemental, telling the story of a doomed romance between a Yorkshire lady and her adopted brother — depicted as black in the movie, as opposed to Romany in the novel. As filtered through Arnold's sensibility, Brontë's tale is just a rough thread on which to hang impressionistic, dialogue-free scenes of muddy farm-folk, in conflict over what they consider to be their property. In other words: This "Wuthering Heights" isn't for fans of faithful literary adaptations, or for English lit students looking for a way to avoid reading the novel. It's a raw cinematic experience, filled with powerful documentary-style imagery and unspoken commentary on how people from different worlds relate to each other.


text: The Jewels of Cartier's Short Film L'Odyssee de Cartier The Exotic True Stories Behind the Jewels in Cartier's L'Odyssée de Cartier Film by Noria Morales 3/06/12 5 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Cartier recently released its first "short film," a fantasy short called L'Odyssée de Cartier, where a diamond panther set in the window of the Paris store comes alive and goes around the world in a series of adventures that touch upon memorable notes in the famed jeweler and watchmaker's 165-year-old history. Screened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week, it was an impressive debut for what is, by definition, an ad, but an extremely beautiful, well-executed, three-minute one. We were particularly fascinated by the scenes in St. Petersburg, India, and China and the plethora of animals shown. We did some research and found enough history to do a feature film. Considering this short film was two years in the making with a crew of 60 people, we won't wait around for the feature, but we're going to stick to one of our trusty slideshows to show you some seriously impressive jewels — and the Indiana Jones-worthy stories behind them. Photos courtesy of Cartier Shalom Harlow's Bracelet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The bracelet, worn by Shalom Harlow, who plays the Cartier muse in the film, is Cartier's newest piece this year — but for those of you interested in buying it, it's already been sold to an anonymous American. 1 / 15 The Panther What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The panther plays such an iconic role in the company's history — we love the look of this platinum panther bracelet that was made in 1958 of diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. It turns out that "La Panthere" was the nickname of Cartier's jewelry designer Jeanne Toussaint. Photos courtesy of Cartier 2 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The panther would become a main image for Cartier. Here is a '20s-era advertisement for Cartier, emblematic of the art deco period, with the panther at the feet of a very stylish woman. 3 / 15 The Scene: A Palace in India What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The story of the maharajah and "tutti frutti" jewels as seen in the short — note all the colored jewels and the architecture. As it turns out, there's a super-exotic story behind this involving a 136-carat diamond. 4 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The real story: Jacques Cartier took his first trip to India in 1911 and designed a ceremonial necklace for the Maharajah of Nawanagar with a 136.26-carat "Queen of Holland" diamond, named for the queen of the Netherlands. He mixed in colored diamonds including a 12-carat olive-green diamond and a blue diamond. At left, you can see the maharajah wearing the necklace, as well as Cartier's drawing, and a shot of Jacques Cartier sitting with Indian gem dealers. This alone could make for a great movie — we just need to add in a love triangle of some sort, and maybe some gem robbers. 6 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The jewels alluded to in the film are represented by the Tutti Frutti necklace, made to order for Daisy Fellowes, the daughter of the Duc Descaze and Isabella Singer (heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune). A Parisian socialite who became Paris correspondent to Harper's Bazaar from 1933 to 1935, Fellowes's Tutti Frutti necklace was comprised of 13 sapphires, two leaf-shaped sapphires, and an array of emerald and ruby beads. This Tutti Frutti style became iconic to Cartier and was inspired by Jacques Cartier's trips to India. 6 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This bird brooch — which, like many of the animal-inspired pieces, comes alive in the film — was made of brilliant and single-cut diamonds, with wings made of leaf-shaped emeralds and faceted sapphires. 7 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This snake necklace was a special order for Maria Felix in 1968 (she would also order the crocodiles); it's made of 2,473 diamonds, with emeralds for the eyes and green, red, and black enamel on the bottom. It took two years to make it — about as long as it took Cartier to make its short film! 8 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This crocodile necklace was a special order for Maria Felix in 1975, made entirely of gold, 1,023 yellow diamonds, emerald and ruby cabochons to make up the eyes, and 1,060 emeralds for the other crocodile. Interesting to note: Maria Felix actually brought in a baby crocodile so the jeweler could make it exactly right. 9 / 15 The Scene: St. Petersburg What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Full disclosure: we thought this was a frozen Seine River — and got really excited by the idea of a sleigh ride through Paris in the Winter. As it turns out, it was Russia, turn of the 20th century. The real story behind this scene? Let's just say it involves Russian royalty, rebellion, and an art dealer/secret agent. 11 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pierre Cartier in Russia in 1904 — he went to the Court of the Russian Tsar to gain clients, and the Duchess Vladimir was one of Cartier's biggest patrons. Who was the duchess, you ask? Photo courtesy of Cartier Archives 11 / 15 The Russian Duchess What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Grand Duchess Vladimir, aka Maria Pavlovna, in 1903. She would go into exile in 1917 and never regain her Cartier pieces, which included a black pearl and diamond tiara, the sapphire and diamond tiara, as well as her collection of about 244 jewels. She asked her friend Albert Stopford, a British citizen/art dealer/secret agent, to smuggle them out of the country for her when Russia rebelled against the Romanov dynasty. Stopford, who literally had to sneak into the Vladimir palace, hid them in the bottom of his travel trunks. After spending years in a bank vault in London (Pavlovna died before ever getting them back), Cartier got the jewels back — today Queen Elizabeth II owns the black pearl and diamond tiara. 12 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The sapphire in the center of this tiara weighs 137 carats and is set against round diamonds. Grand Duchess Vladimir (Maria Pavlovna) ordered it in 1909. Photo courtesy of Cartier Archives 13 / 15 The Scene: China What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the late 19th century, Chinese art was all the rage in Paris, resulting in two museums being founded that were devoted to the country's art. In the film, the panther has a run-in with a big dragon, and in real life, Louis, Pierre, and Jacques Cartier were all inspired by the dragon symbolism in Chinese culture, which led to the creation of their Bestiaire collection. 14 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A drawing of a jade and sapphire earring from the 1920s. 15 / 15 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Fashion NewsDesigner SpotlightJewelryCartier fashion news No Wonder Kate Middleton Can't Stop Wearing These Shoes 17 hours ago We Spy: Wait....

September 2012 is Square Dance Month in New Jersey. Gov. Chris Christie issued the proclamation in recognition of the popular dance form, which has been the official folk dance of New Jersey since 1983. New Jersey is home to dozens of square dance clubs, including Caldwell's Cross Trail Squares.
"Square dancing provides the benefits of healthy exercise and social interaction," reads the Governor's proclamation. "People of all backgrounds and ages—adults, young people, couples, singles and families—come together to share in the fun of participating in one of the most traditional American dance forms."
Square dancing is following a pattern created by a caller who tells the dancers which step to do next. The music has evolved to include genres such as country, Broadway show tunes, movie themes, rock, classical, folk, and more. Some dancers choose to wear traditional outfits, while others prefer western wear, prairie skirts, or everyday clothing. In addition to plain old fun, square dancing keeps people of all ages physically limber and mentally active.
Many square dance clubs in New Jersey offer inexpensive weekly lessons. Cross Trail Squares who dance at the Grover Cleveland Middle School have a free lesson on Thursday, Sept. 20, followed by a 12-week session starting Sept. 27. Classes are held in Grover Cleveland Middle School from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Generally, newcomers can start participating in "Mainstream" club dances after about 12 lessons. The cost for an evening of dancing is usually about $5 per person and includes an array of tempting refreshments.
Square dancing offers an ideal theme for vacation travel at square dance resorts, conventions, cruises, and clubs throughout the world, all of which provide ready-made camaraderie through sharing American-style square dancing. The calls are always in English.
Caldwell's sessions are being sponsored by Caldwell-West Caldwell Recreation and Cross Trail Squares. To obtain more information visit www.crosstrailsquares.org.
