- Strange EncounterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/21/2014This was my third time to Brenner's on the Bayou and the service this time was sub par. This was my first time sitting outside at the lounge and attending for brunch, and there were long delays with being greeted, our order being taken, receiving our food, and the worst delay was receiving our checks. Not sure if the wait staff was new or inexperienced this day, but it seemed rather odd to me considering I had such great experiences the past two visits to the restaurant.Special Features:
- Great birthday brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014This is a awesome place for food and special occasions or just because you deserve it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome DINING ExperienceMrbarnes2uDined on 9/18/2014Waitstaff remarkable, food is wonderful and overall the dining experience was the best I've enjoyed so far in life. Love love love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/17/2014We booked to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary as it is one of our favorite places. As usual, the food was excellent and the service very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerJustokDined on 9/17/2014Me and my wife came here a year or so ago for a special brunch invite. We loved the view of the wooden area during the day. When we visited on the 17th of Sept for an Anniv dinner is was sort of wet and dark for dinner so we didn't get the view we were expecting. No fault to the restaurant. Presentation was good and service was ok. I ordered the Hanger steak (medium). I believed it was over cooked. There wasn't but maybe a slither of pink to be found in the folds of the meat. Our server was cool, not great. I have better service elsewhere when eating somewhere for the first time. I would try something else if I go back but I cant say how soon.Special Features:
- One of the bestDanielDined on 9/16/2014The landscape around this restaurant puts it in the top league before you start. The menu has some interesting twists. At our table we chose main courses of duck and of wild boar. Both were excellent. The wine list however exceeded the wine cellar in that one of the wines I chose was out of stock. I had set out to contrast some bottles from neighboring vintages. The wine waiter understood what I was trying to achieve and came up with two other neighbors in the same theme and in the same pricing. Very satisfied.Special Features:
- Great EveningRobertDined on 9/15/2014We hada truly great evening. The staff was friendly and cordial. We are consistently impressed with our visits there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for anniversaries!RomanticDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I went here for our 6th anniversary. Brenner's has great food, and the ambiance is very romantic. The staff is world class and very attentive to your every need!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a special occasion!AryaDined on 9/13/2014I wanted a unique restaurant for my boyfriend's birthday and this definitely fit the bill! It's romantic and upscale, the surrounding grounds (park/bayou) make you feel transported to a different city if not state! I really liked the two-floor layout of the restaurant with wooden staircases and beams. Very pretty. The food was absolutely delicious, too. We had salmon and duck. The duck was amazing! Also some puff thing for appetizer - delicious!! And, having 3 people serve you definitely hit that glamorous note that I wanted. However, all of this comes at a stiff price. I wouldn't come here for a regular dinner (if you can afford it, than by all means!) but for a birthday I was more than happy to splurge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BillJakhadDined on 9/10/2014I could not combine my bar bill and restaurant bill. I needed a combined bill for claim purposes. I requested multiple times to either combine the bill or I will pay the bar bill at the end with the food bill. But they would not even let me move to dining table without paying the bar bill. Pathetic service and rules. I don't know if they thought I was going to run away or something.
- Anniversary AwesomenessPearlandphil360Dined on 9/7/201423 year anniversary dinner with adult children was fantastic. First time there. Saw on open table. Wife had steak and lobster and I had the stuffed quail. Appetizers were awesome and great drinks. We also had a martini before our wine and drinks were served "as dirty as the bayou". Our server Theresa coined that phrase and that started the beginning of a fantastic dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!CaptaincDined on 9/6/2014This was not our first time visiting Brenner's On the Bayou and it won't be our last. We got everything we expected, from the wonderful food to the service to the ambiance. We love this restaurant.Special Features:
- Absolutely PerfectJCB9Dined on 9/6/2014This has grown to be my favorite restairant in Houston. We used it last year for our wedding anniversary. This year was a milestone birthday. When my daughter walked in for the first time on Saturday night she exclaimed "Oh wow." That about sums it up. Food was excellent, service was impeccible and there's no place like it in Houston for atmosphere.Special Features:
- Lived up to it's reputationJbonstottDined on 9/6/2014My wife and I visited for the first time on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly, the bevy of servers was continous , my Quail appetizer was delicious and my wold Boar was incredible, especially due to the sauce! Even my Latte was perfect. Management came by twice at least. I told them we had 1 hour fifteen minutes and they got us out in time but didn't rush us at all What more could you want? It met our ever expectation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Celebration RestuarantOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014The servers are very friendly and attentive to the customers. The food is awesome. We started with salad. I had the Caesar and my husband ordered the house salad with the herb vinaigrette dressing. He was very impressed with the flavor of the dressing. For entrees, I had the salmon with crab and artichoke topping on it. The crispy outside and tender inside of the salmon was delicious, and the topping just enhanced the meal. My husband had the steak and rock lobster tail. The coffee toffee bread pudding and apple strudel finished off our meal perfectly. Since we were celebrating my husband's birthday, his dessert came with a small candle and "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate on the plate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BayouDisappointmentDined on 9/3/2014For the money paid and based on the reputation of Brenner's, I was very excited about experiencing the new location on the bayou. We received terrible, unprofessional service. Food was spotty and portions were small. Will say the vegetables were exquisite, but the main dishes were hit or miss. Would recommend having a drink at their outside bar. Nice atmosphere. Would not recommend this restaurant, unless you are going for happy hour on the patio.Special Features:
- Good food, poor servicefood4thoughtDined on 8/31/2014Blue Bar service and dining service sub-par...waited 25 minutes to get a drink in the bar and service in the restaurant was slow too. Lobster bisque was great but just room temp.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special special occasiontechie14Dined on 8/31/2014A fortieth wedding anniversary is a special occasion in this day and age. When I made reservations for a dinner for my wife and I, it was with the hope that I could surprise her with a truly "special" evening. I was the one who was surprised. I had never been to Brenners but upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to realize that we had been to this location, years ago when it was in operation under a different guise. The staff went out of their to greet and congratulate us on our anniversary and were quite attentive and gracious throughout our meal. The food was wonderful in presentation and quality and our dessert was personalized with happy anniversary. In short, Brenners made our special fortieth anniversary dinner special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/31/2014The food, service and ambiance were outstanding! I was worried that maybe it had fallen into a "chain restaurant", but not so. Everything was wonderful and I can highly recommend this for brunch!Special Features:
- Hidden TreasureOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014I knew of the restaurant existed, but no knowledge of it's location. Until one day we spotted it while on a kayaking trip down Buffalo Bayou. I have fine dined in the past several times, but Brenner's On The Bayou takes it to another level. It was like being pampered at a day spa, only at a restaurant instead. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny, but worth every dollar. I would definitely recommend Brenner's to a friend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- delightfulnibblesVIPDined on 8/30/2014In a tree house overlooking pretty grounds and the bayou-the food is superb, beautifully served and courteous-it is a truly wonderful experience-steaks are very good and the sides are delicious-highly recommend.Special Features:
- Can't believe I never heard of itOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/29/2014Great place, good food and service, beautiful setting - I can't wait to returnSpecial Features:
- Great Outdoor view from InsideOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014First Time to eat here...Excellent Service. Not pushy, not arrogant, pleasant, attentive, genuine. We sat on upper floor inside, next to a window. Nice view if outside with sunset. Food was really good...I had the shrimp and grits (doesn't sound good, but wait until you try it) and my wife had a steak. Asparagus was nice also. Chocolate Mousse for desert...rich, creamy and smooth...and the raspberry on top added a nice tartness.Special Features:
- Excellent, but closed to earlyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014Had an amazing time at brenners, was looking for a great place for anniversary and this couldn't have been better for Ambiance, romantic setting, service. It was so good that we were disappointed when last call was not called for us and we felt forced to leave early when the restaurant bar closed up as we were enjoying the lounge. Overall it was a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was our 10th Anniversary...papillionwyngsDined on 8/28/2014We wanted to come back to the restaurant where my husband proposed to me. Back then, it was Rainbow Lodge. Now it's owned by Landry's. We were promised the best table in the house with flowers on the table, and the champagne to be waiting at the table. We got none of that. We were at a crummy table with no view, then they sat 8 drunk loud ladies behind us, halfway through our meal. Swarms of fruit flies visited us. I spent more money on this meal than I have ever spent on a meal in my life. Dissapointed doesn't begin to cover it. What saved the day? The food, the wait staff and the champagne. I will never trust someone who lies to me about giving me the best seat in the house.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week Menuviolinpi09Dined on 8/25/2014We generally come to Brenner's for special occasions. Since they also had a special restaurant week menu that had a vegetarian option for every course, we decided to try it out. The food was excellent! The soup de jour was a creamy tomato basil soup which was delicious. The vegetarian meal was super tasty, which is rare for a steakhouse (one of the reasons why I love Brenner's - excellent food for both me and my fiance). MY fiance got the 8 oz. New York Strip, done medium, which I hear was delicious and also came with these amazing cheesy potato cakes. Finally, we got the apple strudel and the chocolate mousse cake, both of which were delicious. Overall, I really like the Brenner's experience - friendly, classy service with excellent food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MagsterDined on 8/23/2014Everything was perfect during my last date with my husband at Brenner's Steakhouse on the Bayou. From the prompt, attentive service to the well-cooked and delicious food, everything was exceptional. We both went the steakhouse route but would be happy to try some of Brenner's non-beef entrees next time. Our waiter was very helpful with wine selection and made excellent recommendations for after-dinner drinks to enjoy with our over-the-top desserts. Overall experience was definitely positive and we will most certainly return.Special Features:
- Dinner @ Brenner'sPPGLDined on 8/23/2014First time at Brenner's. Sat on upper level window table - fantastic view, excellent food, great ambience, beautiful scenery. Nice quiet romantic dinner. I did notice downstairs was more noisy. Will definitely request table upstairs on next visit. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great date nightCAVacaDined on 8/23/2014My wife and I had been wanting to eat here for quite some time. We had it built up so much I was ready to be disappointed. The food and atmosphere far exceeded our expectations! Our server was great, the table and food were wonderful. We'll be going back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- FantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014We loved this, everything about this experience was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014This was the first time for dining at Brenner's and I came for restaurant week and it was so enjoyable -I loved it - the food was out of this world and the apple pie oh my oh my How I love Pie - I will have to start saving extra money to come again - it was well worth itSpecial Features:
- My favorite place.UncleTomDined on 8/22/2014We have visited Brenner's on several occasions over the last 3 years, and it has become my favorite spot for fine dining and the special occasions. They hosted my retirement function back in March and my guests were very impressed with the facilities and food quality. I noted on the last visit that Brenner's added a lower deck off of the Blue Bar, and I found it to be shaded, very relaxed, and with beautiful scenery. My suggestion to potential customers is to use the OpenTable online reservation agent and go before 06:00 PM. You will catch the normal happy hour pricing, and the noise in the dining area will be several decibels lower.Special Features:
- Great dinning!UMRebel33Dined on 8/21/2014This place never let's me down. Food and service is always wonderful! Not to mention we had the best table, most secluded, romantic table in the house for a party of two. Great view, great food, great atmosphere. 5 starsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very good dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014We went for our 15th anniversary and dinner was fantastic. We both had steak, and they were cooked perfectly. The waiter was attentive and polite. Overall, a very good experience. We left stuffed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Big parties ruleRobertDined on 8/20/2014Took my family of 6 adults to celebrate my sons birthday. There were several large parties at 6:45 when we arrived. 3 hours later we were exhausted and full of bread and drink when we finally fit our entree 1.5 hours later. Quality was average, serving was sparatic and it was clear we were not a priority. After years of enjoy inning this spot.....I doubt I will do it again. Robert garner
- Too attentive a wait staffConnaisseurDined on 8/20/2014The wait staff were so attentive that they were practically breathing down our necks. As soon as we sat down, they asked us what did we want to drink. We didn't even have time to look at the wine list. Every five minutes they were doting on us. The other issue is that they had a huge table set up that we had to squeeze by on the way to our table. The restaurant should have seated the big table in the back against the window so no one has to inconvenience them by having to walk by them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ambiance.JasHornsDined on 8/19/2014Overall the service at the restaurant was great. The appetizers were wonderful. They were actually better than the meal. The steak was tender and juicy but my other half decided to get chicken. Unfortunately we were not impressed. It was dry and bland. The side of mashed potatoes were cold as well. The ambiance was great however. Great scenery and the music was at an appropriate level where one did not have to shout to be heard. I would say as steak goes and appetizers they were great and I would recommend them. I suppose you can not expect to much from chicken however especially at a steak house. Chicken is well chicken no mater how well prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timeAnonymousDined on 8/19/2014We chose this as one of our Houston Restaurant Week options and it was a fantastic first experience! The scenic setting is rare in the Houston area and our server (Ben) was phenomenal! All of the food was delicious and the drinks we ordered from the bar were excellent. Will absolutely return for special occasions ($$$$).Special Features:
- MediocreHoustonnative1958Dined on 8/17/2014Went Sunday night with my wife and 2 teenage daughters and was underwhelmed/disappointed. We arrived at 8 and got a nice table upstairs by a window. Took a while to get service and menus. Louder than I recalled although it quieted down when nearby diners left. But then I could hear (and feel) the floor creaking every time some one walked by! It's showing its age. Appetizers pretty good. Steaks pretty good but nothing special. Very small portion of lamb chops. Overpriced for what you get. Ordered a soufflé when we ordered dinner but waiter forgot to turn soufflé order in. He was kind to comp us two desserts, but really had my mind set on that soufflé. Wine by the glass was good. Typical Fertiitta restaurant.Special Features:

The 1-month coupon strategy
If you delay using them, you can achieve bigger savings.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Many people don't bother to clip coupons, mostly because they believe that a 50-cent coupon isn't worth the effort. On the surface, I agree. Without a clever coupon strategy, it's probably not worth the effort.
two months ago, I was talking about this with a friend who works for
Hy-Vee, a grocery store chain here in Iowa. He gave me a tip: Take the
coupon section out of the Sunday paper and put it aside for four weeks.
Then open it up and clip everything that's even remotely of interest,
whether you'd normally buy it or not.
- Bing: Find grocery coupons
Take the coupons to the
store and look at the shelves. Magically, most of the coupons will sync
up with stuff that's on sale. When you combine the sale price and the
coupon, you'll usually be able to get items for next to nothing.
tried this myself. I saved the fliers from a month ago, cut them up and
took them to the store. What did I find? About 40% of the coupons I cut
out matched up with items on sale. I wound up getting salad dressing
for less than a dollar, a package of diapers at the cheapest price I've
ever bought them for, and a container of good vanilla ice cream for 19
cents. And those are just the ones I remember.
Why does this work?
Coupons in the newspaper are usually the first wave of a product push
by large companies. They'll put out coupons to start bumping up sales,
then move to sale prices later in the promotion. They hope that coupon
users who buy the product like it, return to the store, notice the item
on sale and buy it again.
Now that I know this, I've made a big adjustment in my grocery-shopping strategy.
before, I make a shopping list each week. I write down staples that are
getting low, along with ingredients needed for meals I'm thinking about
making. I use a notepad on the refrigerator, along with Remember the Milk.
I go, I get out a month-old coupon flier and clip everything that
matches something on my list. I'll also clip anything I know we can
always use -- like diapers -- along with anything that's potentially a
reasonable purchase. I head out to the store and use the coupons
Whenever you see a sale item that you also have a
coupon for, you can often get a pretty good item for just pennies -- or
at least far cheaper than the normal price and usually cheaper than the
generic version.
This technique saved me about $20 during my
last grocery store visit -- compared with normal retail prices -- for
about 30 minutes of extra effort at the breakfast table, cutting
coupons and putting together the grocery list. That's a worthwhile
frugal activity.

Immunizations and Your Child: The Lowdown on Vaccines
Vaccines and Your Baby
Immunizations are truly a marvel of the modern world. They have eliminated smallpox worldwide and polio from the western hemisphere. Other serious infections such as tetanus, measles, diphtheria, and invasive Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) have been reduced by over 90 percent through immunization.
Despite these remarkable accomplishments, some parents still feel anxiety towards immunizations because of the small risk of side effects and adverse reactions. It is important to note that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks for almost all children.
If you have concerns about vaccinating your child, be sure to speak with your child's doctor. The information presented here can help you prepare for that important discussion.

Apple vs. Treasury: Whose bonds are safer?
The yields on the iPhone maker's debt are so low -- just 20 to 100 basis points above the ultra-low yields on Treasurys -- that it begs comparison with Treasury debt.
On the surface, you'd suppose that there would be a big difference between Apple's first bond issue in 17 years and the debt that the Treasury sells on a regular basis -- carefully marked down on the calendars of traders and investors -- to finance the government's spending programs. After all, one is a profitable business that is still growing, even if at a slower pace than it has in the last decade or so, while the other is a bureaucracy that, far from making a profit, generates budget deficits year after year after year.
Yet the debt that Apple (AAPL) is selling yields so little -- at 20 to 100 basis points above the ultra-low yields on government bonds -- that it begs comparison with Treasury debt. Investors flocked to buy the Apple debt issue: it offers a not-too dissimilar range of options and characteristics. In the eyes of some investors, it may even be playing the role of a 'safe haven' bond investment.
Among its six-part, $17 billion offering, Apple reportedly sold $5.5 billion in 10-year debt at an annual yield of 2.415%. Compare that to 10-year Treasurys, which now yield just over 1.6%. (It should be noted that Microsoft (MSFT) issued $1.95 billion in debt last week at slightly lower rates.) (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
So, given that you have the option of owning what likely will be the ultra-liquid bonds just issued by Apple (in what is the largest non-financial corporate debt sale on record) or the slightly more liquid but slightly lower-yielding Treasury bonds, which should you pick?
Let's take a brief look through some of the fundamental considerations.
Credit rating: Standard & Poor's doesn't see much difference between the U.S. Treasury and Apple when it comes to credit quality: both fall shy of AAA status, winning AA+ ratings, the second best that the agency doles out. Worth noting, however, is that Apple's rating has improved from junk bond status in the late 1990s to this stellar rating today, while the U.S. government famously lost its coveted AAA rating in the summer of 2011. My view? The Treasury wins here, but only because it can levy taxes to meet its obligations, while Apple can't force people to buy its iPhones.
Business risk: What business risk can the U.S. government have, you ask? Well, plenty -- just look at the "sequester" and the ongoing battle over fiscal priorities in Washington. That's business risk, in a nutshell, even if it isn't as straightforward as the kind on display at Apple, which has been grappling with the fickle nature of consumers' affection and shoppers' quest for the next great innovation that can rank alongside the iPhone and the iPad. My view? Apple has the edge: Folks have been trying to get elected officials to behave rationally for generations, largely in vain.
Governance: Much the same as above. When President Barack Obama is asked by a reporter whether he has the "juice" to see through his political agenda in Congress, you know there's a problem. And let's face it, Apple CEO Tim Cook doesn't have the same charisma or tech-world gravitas as Steve Jobs possessed. In both cases, there's a hefty chance that their critics could be wrong, of course. My view? The corporate governance structure is set up to appeal, explicitly, to potential investors and to address the concerns they may have, while the government's responsibilities are more varied and thus harder to manage. This gives Apple the win in this category.
The financial picture: This is a far more straightforward category. Apple is sitting atop a cash mountain amounting to some $145 billion, although most of this is held offshore and can't be repatriated to the U.S. without incurring a large tax hit. Technically, the only reason that Apple is issuing the bonds is that it doesn't want to take that hit: It could readily finance everything it wants to do from its own coffers, if it chose. Discussing its AA+ rating on Apple, S&P commented that this reflected its belief that "Apple will maintain very modest leverage, significant net cash balances and a commitment to a minimal financial risk profile." Compare that list of characteristics to what might be said of the U.S. Treasury, which has to keep rolling out the bonds in order to keep the Social Security checks rolling off the presses. My view? Apple, by many, many lengths.
This doesn't mean that there is no place for Treasury securities in your portfolio. The U.S. government, for all its flaws, is a strong bet to still be around in 30 years. Apple, which just turned 40 last month, is likely to be a far different company three decades from now, assuming it's still around. Getting about one percentage point over Treasurys for that kind of long-term bet makes the risk/return picture on these bonds look questionable.
Of course, the ideal security to own right now would be some kind of convertible bond. Unless you are convinced that Apple has lost its mojo (in which case, why would you even be considering investing in its bond issue?) such a security would have offered investors the perfect win-win: current income and a call option on the upside potential in the stock price. That would have appealed to investors too wary of the slackening growth rate to dive back into the stock with the same amount of gusto they displayed for the bond issue. No luck for investors this time around, alas.

As a huge fan of colour in the most potent form, I have always been a huge fan of Emilio Pucci. The signature psychedelic colourways and timeless cut have forever been emulated but rarely hit the mark. After recently receiving a wonderful new piece of Pucci from a dear friend, I felt it appropriate to dedicate a post to some of my favourite pieces and ads by the infamous 60s designer. I shall refrain from giving a full history about Emilio Pucci as there is a wealth of that information available online and in several books (Vintage Fashion by Zandra Rhodes has a great deal of information and textile history). As any of you who own a piece of Pucci history will know- there's no going back from feeling that delicate silk against the skin, the king of colour will always reign supreme, he did for fashion what Matisse did for art and imitators simply don't compare.

Parents are often amazed by the softness of their newborn's skin. Your baby's skin has been continuously developing, and it is so thin and translucent that you can see the blood vessels through it. Hair growth continues on the eyebrows and the head. Your baby's ears are almost in position now, although they are still set a bit low on the head.
Internally, your baby's skeletal system continues to develop. Muscle development continues too, and your baby is probably making lots of movements with his or her head, mouth, arms, wrists, hands, legs, and feet.
Has it sunk in yet that you're pregnant? Many women say that it isn't until they trade in their jeans for maternity clothes and others start noticing their swelling abdomens that the reality of pregnancy sets in. For many, this realization is both joyful and scary. It's normal to feel as if you're on an emotional roller coaster (you have your hormones to thank). Another thing you may be feeling? Scatterbrained. Even the most organized women report that pregnancy somehow makes them forgetful, clumsy, and unable to concentrate. Try to keep the stress in your life to a minimum and take your "mental lapses" in stride — they're only temporary.

Did you know that electronic circuits work more efficiently on higher power?
The fact is that there is a direct relation between power consumption and sound quality, meaning that preamps that advertise long battery life can never achieve the clarity and performance of a preamp running on higher voltage.
The Pure XLR Mach 2 circuit runs on a "voltage doubler" that provides 18 volts to the internal circuit. It also uses components that are optimized for sound quality and not for low power consumption. The result is that the Pure XLR Mach 2 delivers better high-end response, more harmonics, lower noise, and more head room.
This feature alone would make the new Pure XLR Mach 2 Preamp worthwhile, but we added a few more things that players have asked for:
"K&K Sound pickups are an integral part of my on-stage gear. I have the Pure Mini in my acoustic guitar and a Mandolin Twin Internal in my mandolins. Both deliver excellent sound and allow me to transmit a true acoustic tone to the audience. Also, both pickups are very discreet and non-invasive to the instruments, which is important to me. Thanks, K&K!"

The Murrells Inlet Marshwalk is a haven for nature lovers and history buffs and souls in search of peace.

Is there public transportation in Murrells Inlet?
Coast RTA is a dependable, trustworthy source of public transportation in Horry and Georgetown counties.

Who is Bubba Love?
Perhaps you've seen the statue of Bubba on the MarshWalk near Drunken Jack's. Bubba is the self proclaimed mayor of Murrells Inlet. The 46-year-old single kitchen worker is actually named Jerome Smalls, but through the years his nickname became Bubba Love.
His duties at Drunken Jack's restaurant, which is waterfront in Murrells Inlet, includes duties that make him visible, such as feeding the goats at nearby Goat Island.
A few years ago the folks at Drunken Jack's decided to memorialize Bubba Love with a statue of himself. His notoriety grew, and now the restaurant next door to Drunken Jack's, Capt. Dave's Dockside Restaurant, has remodeled its screened-in dining porch to become Bubba's Love Shak.
Why are there goats and peacocks on Drunken Jack's Island?
"Goat Island" is just behind Drunken Jack's Restaurant on the MarshWalk. For over 25 years, the owners of Drunken Jack's Restaurant have kept the two unlikely breeds together on the island to keep the underbrush down. They are put on the island during mid-Spring and taken off during late Fall. Bubba Love, a Drunken Jack's employee, cares and feeds for the goats each day. During a hurricane evacuation, the goats are taken off the island to safe ground.
In the summer of 2006, the peacocks were added where they live in harmony with the goats. The beautiful plumage of the male peacock is an amazing sight to see. Ducks, egrets, herons and pelicans also enjoy the island from time to time. Sitting on the back deck of Drunken Jacks', it's a conversation starter, and it's definitely "an Inlet Thing."
Is there really treasure hidden somewhere in Murrells Inlet?
Named after a notoriously brutal pirate, Capt. Murrell, who used the quiet inlet as a home base between pillaging trips, the village of Murrells Inlet looks out onto Drunken Jack Island. Legend has it that a mutinous pirate named Jack was marooned on the sandy spit of land by his shipmates with nothing but his wits and a few bottles of rum to get by. When his ship returned several months later, his former mates found the beach littered with empty bottles and a pile of sun-bleached bones, presumably Jack's. Local legend also asserts that the infamous Blackbeard hid his ill-gotten booty somewhere on the island. Despite several archaeological digs, no treasure has been found...yet!
Where is Murrells Inlet?
Murrells Inlet is nestled in between the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach and the historic City of Georgetown SC. Just a few miles down the road...but worlds away.

Winter With the Writers, A Festival of the Literary Arts continued Jan. 28 with current U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan.
Ryan shared poems from her previously-published collections, discussed her newest book, The Best of It: New and Selected Poems to be released in March, and entertained the audience with her quick wit.
"I think poems bear multiple readings; you have to take in so much at one time," she said. "Also, they're short, and I don't have a lot of them."
One of the favorite moments of the evening was when Ryan read "How Birds Sing," one of her most famous poems and one that is on permanent display at New York's Central Park Zoo.
"I'm in love with lightness," she said. "And there's no better creature to represent that than a bird."
How Birds Sing
One is not taxed;
one need not practice;
one simply tips
the throat back
over the spine axis
and asserts the chest.
The wings and the rest
compress a musical
squeeze which floats
a series of notes
upon the breeze.
Ryan later sat down with Winter With the Writers Director Carol Frost to answer questions submitted by the audience.
Ryan intrigued the audience with a story about how, as a child, she had a dream that a piece of paper was flying away from her. She tried to chase it down, but she couldn't catch it, and she knew that on it was "the most beautiful poem in the world."
Even with an early love for poetry and writing, she confessed that she didn't take poetry as a career seriously until she was 30, and that her poems were almost exclusively rejected for nearly 20 years.
However, when asked about the sacrifices she made to be a writer, she responded again with her disarming charm: "I haven't had to sacrifice anything. I never wanted to do anything, so I'm lucky it worked out this way."
While she describes her work as an "intensely personal experience," Ryan recommended to budding writers that "reading the greats is extremely valuable." "We only get better when we have some ideal we're trying to get to."
Ryan said she finds inspiration from many things. When asked by an audience member "To what extent does boredom help the creative process?" Ryan replied, "People are way too frightened by boredom. Sometimes it helps drive us to find things out."
Ryan's poems and essays have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Poetry, The Yale Review, Paris Review, The American Scholar, The Threepenny Review, and Parnassus, among other journals and anthologies. She was elected a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets in 2006. In 2008, she was appointed the 16th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry. The Poet Laureate is appointed annually by the Librarian of Congress and seeks to raise awareness of and appreciation for the reading and writing of poetry. Ryan received both a bachelor's and master's degree from UCLA and has lived in Marin County in California since 1971.
Read about Ryan's master class, Kay Ryan Shares Insights With Student Interns.
Rollins' 2010 Winter With the Writers, A Festival of the Literary Arts, also included novelist Andrea Barrett.
On Thursday, February 11, the series will conclude with Barry Lopez. Lopez received the National Book Award for his nonfiction book Arctic Dreams. Among his other nonfiction works are About This Life and Of Wolves and Men, which was a National Book Award finalist. He is also the author of several award-winning works of fiction, including Field Notes, Winter Count and a novella-length fable, Crow and Weasel.
Lopez's recent work includes Light Action in the Caribbean, a collection of stories, and Resistance, a book of interrelated stories. He selected and introduced a collection of essays titled The Future of Nature, and he is the co-editor with Debra Gwartney of Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape, a landmark work of language, geography and folklore. He is currently working on a new book, tentatively titled Horizon.
Events include master classes at 4 p.m. and readings, on-stage interviews and book signings at 8 p.m. Master classes, readings and discussions are free and open to the public. Master classes will be held in the Bush Auditorium and author readings and interviews will be held in Tiedtke Concert Hall. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for the 8 p.m. readings, as seating is limited.

How to eliminate skin hives quickly
Hives are a dangerous issue, which can be cured very easily. By treating hives, you are practically ensuring that curing the hives will be completed in a really short time frame. I found this page yesterday: Hives Factors. As you can see, it shows exactly how to treat this issue. Once you learn how to get rid of hives, the problem will quickly dissipate by itself. One of the quickest ways to get rid of the hives is described in the website: http://www.howto-getridofhives.com.
How can you eliminate hives permanently? That can be accomplished at home.
By using watermelon and onion juices, you can easily eliminate all the symptoms of the condition, because these fruits contain a high amount of natural antihistamine compounds. Once you try that and see if it works, feel free to use medication that is prescribed by your doctor. Too many people rely on the medication, without actually realizing how easily it can be replaced by natural remedies.
The symptoms of urticaria and hives are often very different in different individuals. This often creates quite a challenge and makes people believe that they cannot get rid of their hives. If you want to learn how to get rid of hives, you have to follow some basic and proven principles. Those principles can be easily learned from your dermatologist or at home.

New Benefits At-a-Glance
WebMD Medical Reference
Many changes have been made to Medicare in recent years. Some changes apply now. Others will go into effect over the next few years. Here's how it breaks down:
Monthly premiums for Medicare Part B will go up for single people making $80,000 or more a year, and married couples making $160,000 or more a year. Rates are based on a sliding scale, and will be phased in over five years. For example, if you make more than $200,000 a year as an individual -- or more than $400,000 as a couple -- you would pay 80% of your costs. At present everyone pays 25% of costs no matter what their income.

Use a storage bag as coverage in veterinary practice
Dec 01, 2012
To protect our portable Doppler from liquids such as scrub solution, blood, and urine, we cut a small opening for the cord in the end of a quart-size refrigerator storage bag and slip the bag over the unit. You can see the buttons easily, it doesn't inhibit the sound, and the bag can be replaced easily and cheaply.

What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, where do we find solutions that can help us build the future that serves us all? This 25-minute Global Oneness Project film retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.

Two European performer-composers of the period had a profound influence on American music. The English baritone Henry Russell (1812-1900), who toured America from 1837 to 1841, influenced American songwriters through both his sentimental songs and his melodramatic scenas. Among the former were songs such as "Woodman! Spare that Tree" and "The Old Arm Chair," which started a rage for furniture songs. Russell's melodramatic songs included "The Ship Afire" and "The Maniac." Many of his successful songs were first published in America; he also worked with American lyricists such as George P. Morris. The French conductor-composer Louis Jullien (1812-1860) gave a series of "monster concerts" in New York in 1853-54, starting an American tradition of gigantism in the concert-hall. Jullien's repertoire included major European masterworks such as Beethoven's symphonies, works by aspiring American composers (he gave the premiere of one of the symphonies of George Frederick Bristow), and flashy showpieces such as the "Firemen's Quadrille," which used real firemen to put out a pretend fire.
The maniac
by Henry Russell.
Among other European composers who spent time both in America and Europe was the Irishman William Vincent Wallace (1812-1865). Famous for his 1845 opera Maritana, Wallace first visited America in the years 1841-44. In 1850, he returned to America for several years--his next documented appearance in Europe was not until late 1858. While in America Wallace published numerous vocal and piano pieces suitable for the American market; he also composed the most successful patriotic song of the period, "The Flag of Our Union." Wallace's dedication to America may have been fortified by his marital troubles in Europe; whatever his motive, he showed a willingness to adapt his style to the musical tastes of the republic and thus may be seen as a temporarily American composer.
Bohemian-born Anthony [Anton] Philip Heinrich (1781-1861) was resident
in America for much of the period covered by this collection. He lived in the United States
intermittently from 1805, with major stays from 1816 to 1826 and again from 1837 to 1857;
returned in 1858; and died in New York City in 1861. Heinrich aspired to be the first great
American composer. His first musical collection is entitled "The Dawning of Music in
Kentucky." Some of these pieces are of transcendent length and difficulty. Opinions differ on
whether Heinrich is genuinely an American composer or whether he remained an exotic and a guest.
But the composer of
"Tyler's Grand Veto Quick Step"
was certainly responsive to American events.

On a large television screen in front of Pyongyang's railway station, a North Korean state television broadcaster announces the news that North Korea conducted a nuclear test on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013. North Korea conducted a nuclear test at an underground site in the remote northeast Tuesday, taking an important step toward its goal of building a bomb small enough to be fitted on a missile that could reach United States. The TV screen text reads: "Korean Central News Agency reports," and "The third underground nuclear test successfully conducted."(AP Photo/Kim Kwang Hyon)
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday called North Korea's latest nuclear test a "highly provocative act" that threatens U.S. security and international peace.
"The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community," Obama said in a statement issued early Tuesday. "The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies."
North Korea said it successfully detonated a miniaturized nuclear device at a northeastern test site Tuesday. South Korean, U.S. and Japanese seismic monitoring agencies said they detected an earthquake in North Korea with a magnitude between 4.9 and 5.2.
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said the test was conducted safely but with "great explosive power." It said the test is aimed at coping with "ferocious" U.S. hostility that undermines the North's peaceful, sovereign right to launch satellites. Last month, North Korea's National Defense Commission said the United States was its prime target for a nuclear test and long-range rocket launches.
"These provocations do not make North Korea more secure," Obama said. "Far from achieving its stated goal of becoming a strong and prosperous nation, North Korea has instead increasingly isolated and impoverished its people through its ill-advised pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery."
The U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting Tuesday morning on North Korea's nuclear test. South Korea's U.N. Mission informed reporters early Tuesday that the closed-door meeting will begin at 9 a.m. EST.
On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry discussed North Korea's "continued provocative rhetoric" in a phone call with China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi. That followed earlier conversations with Kerry's counterparts from Japan and South Korea, key U.S. allies in the region.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the three conversations "were remarkably similar" on the importance of implementing the commitments of a January U.N. resolution that toughened sanctions against Pyongyang and warned of "significant action" if it conducted a nuclear test. That resolution was supported by China, North Korea's only major ally.
On Tuesday, China expressed firm opposition to the test but called for a calm response by all sides.

Nearly 14,000 deer harvested in Vermont in 2012The Associated Press | January 17,2013MONTPELIER - The state Fish and Wildlife Department says Vermont deer hunters successfully harvested nearly 14,000 deer in 2012, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
The totals reflect archery, youth, rifle and muzzleloader harvests.
Officials say last winter's relatively mild weather and shallow snow depths likely contributed to this fall's elevated deer harvest.
The low availability of traditional food sources such as apple orchards and beech and oak stands this past summer and fall also resulted in deer changing their movement patterns.
The department says one of the biggest increases was in archery, which rose 25 percent, to 3,384 deer.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

|The Open Source Paradigm Shift - What I Really Said
|2003-07-10 23:14:16
It's interesting that you observed that the "regular press" covered your comments more accurately than the bloggers. After all, one of the big selling points made all along by Dave Winer and others was that blogging is a way to get out from under the mostly dead weight of the commercial media.

I agree that both have a place. After all, it's in a blog that I was able to point to a better account of my ideas.
And note that Robert MacMillan's piece was an interview, not just reportage. It's far more common that a reporter gets only a few sentences of an interview into an article, and a blog lets you give the whole story. See for example my blog on Apple as Innovator, which started out as an email interview for the Baltimore Sun, but which I published as a blog after being disappointed with how little of the interview made it into the story. But note also that the Sun story was a good story -- my complaint had nothing to do with quality but only with the limits of word count. So blogging and professional reportage are great complements.
2003-07-11 08:52:21 Derek Vadala | [View]
I'm not sure I agree that interviews count as "dead weight" reporting in the same way that traditional news articles do. Of course, some interviews are edited to disort the intent of the interviewee, but there's nothing stopping a blogger from using that tactic as well.
You'll have to ask Dave Winer what he thinks.

As a blogger and reader of regular news outlets I find one as bad or bad as the other depending on -who- is doing the reporting.
If I had been able to find a USB mic for my ibook I'd have been audioblogging Tim's talk as well. What can do a better job of reporting the fact than an pure record of the facts themselves. All hail "recording" devices other than the human brain.

"I find one as bad or bad as"
