A word from Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab is the culmination of a partnership between Lettuce Entertain You and Joe's Stone Crab, the legendary seafood restaurant of Miami Beach. Opened in Chicago in the fall of 2000, Joe's features an extensive selection of seafood, flown in fresh daily, to complement the world's finest Florida Stone Crab claws. Joe's has quickly built a reputation as one of Chicago's top steakhouses, featuring the signature 16 oz. Bone-In Filet Mignon and 22 oz. New York Strip Steak. Matched with Joe's famous side dishes, dinner only gets better when capped with a slice of key lime pie. Enjoy a generous cocktail in the bustling lounge or the tuxedo-clad service of the clubby dining room and you'll understand why dinner at Joe's has quickly become one of Chicago's favorite social engagements.Continued

- Joe's Chicago is the best!1FabFoodieDined on 9/27/2014Joe's Chicago delivers a great dining experience! We were greeted by the maître d' when we entered and let him know we were early to have drinks. When our reservation time can up he politely called us to be seated. Our evening was taken care of by our server, Jeff. He offered great suggestions for dinner and salad choice. We split a Cesar salad. For our entree we ordered Lobster Stuffed Sole, Halibut with Bok Choy, broccolini, and macaroni and cheese. The fish dishes were perfectly cooked. The broccolini had a nice crisp to it and the mac and cheese was broiled to give it a nice browned cheese crust on top. Joe's is a top-notch restaurant with great food and great service.Special Features:
- Simply the BestChophousefanaticDined on 9/27/2014This place is spectacular! My 2nd time here celebrating my anniversary and service and food was phenominal! This is now our favorite restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent LunchSCgatorDined on 9/27/2014We had a great lunch on a Saturday at 11:30. The restaurant wasn't too busy and we had a fantastic server. Highly recommend the sea bass and mashed potatoes, as well as the Key Lime pie. Prices were typical for downtown Chicago and we've already booked reservations for our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great seafoodHappyMomsDined on 9/26/2014The seafood salad is staple that you don't want to miss.Special Features:
- NY stripDigitaljoseDined on 9/25/2014Asked for rare, got a cold steak on a cold plate. Not what I expectet from a quality steak house. I want rare on the inside, sizzling hot on the outside. Disappointed to pay $50 for a cold meat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything goodRLfanDined on 9/25/2014Had a drink at the bar-very pleasant. Food an service everything I hoped for. Have eaten at Joes in Miami and think this experience was even better.Special Features:
- Old FavoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/25/2014While the Chicago location of Joe's never seems to really measure up to the original in Miami Beach, it is a very good restaurant and we enjoy eating there whenever we are in Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Attention to detailCrabGourmetVIPDined on 9/24/2014We enjoyed the oustanding Rosh Hashanah meal. Excellent appetizers in the form of chopped liver, walnut pate - vegetarian chopper liver, freshly made whitefish gefilte fish -outstanding. Halibut in papillote - excellent. Carrot Tzimmes - very good. Fingerling potatoes- average. Kasha varnishkes is a new addition this year. This is really a U.S. created dish. Kasha (buckwheat) alone with onions/mushrooms is more authentic Eastern European version. There are other root vegetables, besides potatoes and carrots. Flourless chocolate cake and apple crusted dessert are well made. Good wine spectrum. If You cannot cook yourself or for family, this is more than a substitute. Manager paid attention to customers satisfaction.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Restaurantpickle1397Dined on 9/23/2014Joe's was great! Food, wine and service was way above average. I would definitely recommend the stone crab and bone in filet. Only drawback is the restaurant is crowded, tables are close together and the noice level makes it a little hard to have a table conversation. Otherwise, I would recommend this restaurant highly and will definitely eat there again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old Style SteakhouseLawyer34Dined on 9/23/2014Noisy, bustling, in a fun way like ye old steakhouse. Waiters dressed in tux. Service good, food excellent, need I say moreSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Only OKJONLORIVIPDined on 9/23/2014Be here twice & as well as twice in Miami. Stone crabs are awesome however the food is only ok. Small portions & bland. The type my parents likedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Joe's is just the bestRazzledazzle60302VIPDined on 9/23/2014Had their crab legs again Out of this world. Their customer service would bput Costco to shame. The service was great They even charged my cell phone while I was there.Special Features:
- very good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/22/2014food was very good and reasonably priced. A bit frustrating that htey woudn't seat us with 3 out of 4 of us there considering we were even a bit early.Special Features:
- AwesomeCWeberVIPDined on 9/21/2014Joe's continues to deliver a wonderful dining experience, both in terms of great food and excellent service. The crab legs are by far my favorite anywhere, and the steaks are great as well. Although overshadowed, the sides are really good as well. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is good - not terribly quiet and romantic, but definitely a nice energetic scene. Overall, it is tough to go wrong at Joe's whether you feel like seafood or a steak.Special Features:
- Best birthday dinnerEddieDined on 9/21/2014Amazing experience altogether. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner with my family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TheMelsDined on 9/21/2014Worth the price! The crab legs were the best and so was the rack of lamb! Will definately return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding as alwaysOutstandingVIPDined on 9/20/2014It was our 3rd time back to Joe's and they once again did an outstanding job. Loved our server, Charles Hill, as well as the perfectly cooked steaks and literally a pile of Crab. We can't wait to go back...and that is the best compliment you can give.Special Features:
- Almost flawless eveningFoodies4lifeDined on 9/19/2014Our server was excellent, knowledgeable and accommodating (offering to reduce crab leg order size) as were the other table assistants. His suggestions were on point. The King Crab legs were excellent as was the Dover Sole in Browned butter.( on the side) Oysters Rockefeller were commendable for sure. It was quite loud as it was 8:30 pm on a Friday evening, but our table of 6 were all able to converse relatively well. Definitely recommend. Price was expected... 3 bottles of wine. no dessert... about $100/pp. I mistakenly thought the restaurant offered raw oysters... slight disappointment as they do not, but the experience was flawless beyond that.Special Features:
- Excellent experiencevmthomasDined on 9/19/2014Food good, ambience excellent!! Was provided a very good location for table, as requested. Will definitely return to eat here when I get to Chicago next time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- room for dessertOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/19/2014The crab cakes where outstanding. the staff was great. It was hard to save room for dessert but I was glad I did because the Havana Dream Pie was one of the best desserts I have ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014the rude and pompous server spoiled what was otherwise a good experienceSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014The menu is perfect for meat and seafood lovers. The food was beyond good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kurtjohnDined on 9/18/2014Joe's remains my favorite restaurant in Chicago. Service is first class and the food quality and selection is unmatched. Keep up the good work!Special Features:
- Joe's always delivers!wjmrVIPDined on 9/18/2014Joe's is one of our "go-to" places. The food is always delicious, fresh and plentiful. Service is great!! Lunch is wonderful and dinner is the perfect way to end a long day. The seafood is outstanding. The stone crabs, of course, but any seafood served at Joe's is always fresh and delicious. Steaks are great as is the fried chicken!! We love Joe's and will go back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely great!MJS1955VIPDined on 9/16/2014I eat here almost every time I come to Chicago. The food, service and atmosphere is always the same...great! One of us had the bone-in filet, another the rebeye and I had the Dover sole. Excellent dinner. Just like the one in Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- offthechartsoffthe58chartsDined on 9/16/2014Once again, Joe's experience was an amazing meal. Jeanette was on her game, as she always is. What a professional, and such a delightful person. You are lucky to have her. The food was awesome, and I always look forward to returning for another phenomenal event.Special Features:
- Not worth the premium pricesSB29464VIPDined on 9/15/2014Premium pricing requires premium experiences. Ours was anything but. Party of 6 with 7pm reservation. Between our waiter and the manager, we got 4 different stories on availability of the stone crab. This is their signature appetizer. Never fully understood what we got or why. Then dinner was served with 1 incorrect entree and 1 entree missing. The wrong entree was replaced in about 5 minutes. We were finished eating by the time the missing entree was served. The waiter apologized profusely... he appeared shocked by the whole episode & gave us a couple of free desserts. Never heard from the manager. As a former 2x a year customer, I cannot recommend at these prices...Special Features:
- Always a Good ExperienceJojo20VIPDined on 9/15/2014Joe's is definitely one of our favorites. The personnel are all very nice, friendly and accommodating. The food is always really good. The crabcakes and fried chicken are some of our favorites. We will continue to come here since each and every time we do we are always quite pleased.Special Features:
- good restaurant periodFERNANDODined on 9/14/2014The food was very good according to the price, one thing that it is not right my reservation was for a party of 4, and they did not give us a table for 3 persons until everybody was in the restaurant.Special Features:
- CarolinaSkidDined on 9/14/2014Long my favorite steak place in Chicago, if not the country, Joe's was a huge disappointment this time. They seem to think they are just too good to be bothered with great service any more. A $50 medium rare steak was medium well, the second time this has happened in the last two trips. When asked to take a look they seemed more insulted than concerned. There was no offer to do anything, free drink, dessert, etc, for the diner who had to sit for 10 minutes and watch their companions eat. The wine markup has gotten absurd. A $36 Quilceda Creek Red, not the Cab, is $185. When I asked about it the wine guy said they paid $60 and refused to believe the real cost. So, it's time to start looking for a new favorite steak place.Special Features:
- My Favorite PlaceAnikaDined on 9/14/2014I LOVE JOE'S...I never have a complaint. The food is always yummy!!!Special Features:
- Sooo disappointing!!BGDM7450Dined on 9/14/2014We have enjoyed dinner at Joe's Stone Crab many times in varying locations: Miami, Las Vegas, and now Chicago. We adore the stone crab and the side dishes are marvelous. I guess I'd say the stone crabs HAVE BEEN marvelous. Our recent experience left us as cold as the obviously long-frozen little crab claws which were so water-logged that one could wring them out! They were so small that in crushing the hard shell, tiny bits of shell was embedded in the claw meat and I felt that I was eating sand. For better or worse, we know how delectable these claws can be, thus a greater disappointment yet. The sides were as excellent as usual but the claws are the feature and when they are so bad, the meal is simply sad.
- Consistently GreatReturnagainDined on 9/14/2014We always eat at Joes when visiting Chicago. This time our northern friends joined us for a great meal and friendly service. We look forward to next years trip to Chicago and an evening at Joes. We all had steaks that were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Friendly staff and great service abound at Joes. Joes is a must stop if you are in Chicago.Special Features:
- Consistently GtreatpickyeaterVIPDined on 9/14/2014This is our go to birthday celebration place. Always energetic & bustling atmosphere. The stone crabs are legendary but the steaks are among the best in Chicago & my Dover sole with brown butter sauce was the best fish I've ever had. The sides are very generous, 4 for a table of 8 adults was enough. The tuna tartare & roasted corn were delicious. The waiters are very attentive without hovering & the hot towels at the end of the meal are a nice touch. Desserts are decadent, the peanut butter pie is so rich it's hard to finish & the key lime pie is creamy & fresh. Wine list is very good & good selection of classic cocktails. Great dining experience.Special Features:
- Love Joe'sSdsdohertyDined on 9/14/2014We live in Kansas City and we travel to Chicago at least once a year to just dine at Joe's. We love it that much. Stone crab is always fabulous, service is impeccable always and the restaurant has the classiest charm.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/13/2014Could have been a better experience if we had a better server. He was really quiet and did not talk at all to explain things or paella anything. It was our first time there and with all the reviews we heard from friends we were disappointed. I think the location is great but service was poor. I cant see the difference between any other steak house in the city then? Competitors at least give better service and the food was comparable as well.
- Awesome place, if you go to ChicagoJuanGDined on 9/11/2014The best hambuger ever! Place nice, great location!Special Features:
- Great DryerscmdavisDined on 9/11/2014The food at Joe's was outstanding. Matt was our server and we have had none better at any other place that we have dined. His recommendations were spot on and our meal was outstanding.Special Features:
- Service was AwesomeSamsDined on 9/11/2014The staff was spot on when you needed anything, the delivery and presentation was great. Fair pricing and premium quality products topped off the experience. Their key lime pie was awesome even though served in Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 32nd wedding anniversary!32ndDined on 9/11/2014We have celebrated our anniversary at Joe's on our milestone years, 20, 25, 30 and oops 32, we couldn't wait for 35. The service is excellent and above expectations. The food is second to none. We were treated well on our anniversary, and that is why we tell everyone about Joe's. See you next year and every year until 35!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Topic - Weather advice for a newby
Littleslip - on 27 Dec 2012
I've been indoor sport climbing for around three months now and making the jump into outdoor mountaineering. Nothing major just good winter climbs.
I'm trying to get my head around the weather reports but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Obviously I know to avoid things like heavy rain/ thunderstorms etc, but it's things like gauging snow conditions from reports that I'm a bit confused by. This might found like a bit of a stupid question really but I'm never afraid of asking really!
For example weather reports for fort William predict heavy rain tomorrow but a fair weekend, some snow fall on sat night, heavy winds throughout. Is it worth a trip up or just wait?
I just don't want to make the trip up there and not be able to climb or enjoy the climbing due to bad conditions.
Thanks :)

Third Rock Rocks!
Posted by Mat Kaplan
Topics: podcasts and videos, Planetary Radio
Have you heard it? "America's Space Station, Powered With NASA" is how they describe themselves. It immediately became my favorite online music source when it premiered late last year. There's still a lot to be said for a station that is programmed by people who obviously love the music they play. I bet you'll hear something new and wonderful if you tune in.
You'll also very soon hear our own Bill Nye on Third Rock, along with very brief features about space that don't get in the way of the music. Full disclosure: The Planetary Society has allied itself with Third Rock. We couldn't resist the enthusiasm and great sounds it is bringing to the final frontier.

The White House apparently is very concerned about an ABC report about "talking point scrubbing." Let me tell you what "deep background" means here. The existence of the meeting was off the record. Reporters are free to use information given to them in this meeting, but can't say where they got it or even report that the meeting existed. The intent of this is to hand the MSM their narrative without a trail to where the media got that narrative.
I've been getting the sense the Congressional Republicans know there is something to be had here and I've felt even the most ardent Obama defenders in the MSM in recent days have begun to feel that there is a story here. It'll be interesting to see the story the White House has weaved to combat the ABC report.

McMann Eye Institute's 20/20 Money Back Guarantee
Very few things in life are actually guaranteed and surgical outcomes are traditionally not one of these things. There are so many variables and factors that play into a successful outcome of surgery, most doctors shy away from making the outcomes guaranteed.
Not Dr. Michael A. McMann.
Dr. McMann has consistently produced 20/20 or better eyesight for his previous patients and he is confident he can continue to produce this outcome for others. In fact, he is so confident that he is willing to offer a 20/20 Money Back Guarantee to his patients, and he's the only doctor in Hawaii that is offering this guarantee.
The 20/20 Money Back Guarantee is a program that relies on three things:
Your Vision Goals
Your Eye Health
Dr. McMann's confidence that you can obtain 20/20
or better vision with your eyes' unique characteristics.
The criteria listed above will be determined after a thorough, front-to-back eye exam with state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and consultation. If Dr. McMann feels you have successfully met all of these criteria, he will guarantee to refund your fee in full if he cannot successfully get your eyesight to 20/20 or better.
This 20/20 Money Back Guarantee is a genuine commitment to excellence, and assurance that your vision is in the best possible hands. If you are interested in this program, set up a Free LASIK Consultation with us today.

Janelle Monae is riding the high of a happy buzz. The Electric Lady is doing better than her wildest dreams.
The album charted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 and at No. 3 on Billboard's Top R&B and Hip-Hop albums in September. Come December, she will be honored with Billboard's Rising Star Award.
Catch the Kansas City native in action at the Fillmore Miami Beach Saturday night.
Monae's sophomore effort comes three years after her critically acclaimed full-length debut, The ArchAndroid.
The latest album (co-executive produced by Diddy and Big Boi of OutKast) is a departure for the 27-year-old, who collaborates with Prince ( Givin Em What They Love), Miguel ( Primetime) and Ery kah Badu ( Q.U.E.E.N.) on the 19-track set.
The Atlanta resident recently talked to the Associated Press:
Your albums follow the story of Cindi Mayweather, an android who falls in love with a human and she's being punished for that. What's happening with her on "The Electric Lady"?
This is her life before she became the ArchAndroid, what the community thought about her, what her thoughts were, what got her into trouble (and) why they wanted to disassemble her.
Are you Cindi?
We share the same DNA.
Who influenced the album?
George Lucas. I performed at his wedding reception. … I met him and I got a chance to speak with Steven Spielberg, and these are people whose ideas, you know, if they weren't able to make their movies, I don't think that I would have been able to articulate my thoughts on Cindi. … They kind of showed me how to do that, I just wanted to do it with music.
How did you come up with the songs?
The concept for that album didn't come to me until I went on tour and I started to paint, and I would sing and paint at the same time. I would paint the silhouette of this female body … and I didn't quite understand why I was painting this woman. I actually was a little freaked out by it. So I went back to Atlanta and I talked to my therapist, and she encouraged me, she said, 'You should name her. Name her.' And I did.
Were you in therapy for a specific reason?
All around. I find it very helpful. It helps with my songwriting because once I am talking to somebody and I'm getting it out and it's not in my head, I'm able to just write it out.
How long have you been in therapy?
Since I was a 1-year-old I've had a therapist, someone to talk to. They might have not been certified, but I've always talked and been very open about where I am in my life.
What was it like to work with Prince?
It was very organic. Prince … reached out to me when I released Metropo lis … and I was doing that almost independently. He and I have been friends ever since and he's always respected me as a businesswoman and he thought it was great that Puffy [ Sean Combs] wasn't telling me what to do and that I was in control of my creativity. And he always said, 'If you ever need anything, I'm always here.'
You're sticking to your black-and-white fashion style, but your hair is straight in the "Dance Apocalyptic" music video. What happened?
That wasn't me. That was probably Electric Lady 57821. Lots of clones.

The Phoenix Coyotes and pending free agent goaltender appear to be making progress on a new contract.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the two sides are closing in on a six-year deal that would see the 31-year-old netminder make around $5.7 million per season.
In 34 games last season, Smith posted a 15-12-5 record with a 2.58 goals against average.
It's been a busy off-season for the Coyotes who locked up head coach Dave Tippett to a five-year deal earlier in the month.
Off the ice, the club which has been owned by the league since 2009 might have a new ownership group in Renaissance Sports and Entertainment, a group headed by Canadian investors, contingent on a new lease agreement with the city of Glendale.

At the ISPO trade show last winter all I could think about was making pants that were tight like old Roffe ski pants. i wanted tight stretch pants. I drew them in a sketchbook and said, "this is the first new style for Betty Rides 12/13!" We had a pro to made soon after. I rode in the pro to this summer on the glacier. I loved the feeling of the Softshell pants so much! I had wanted to do long hoody soft shells for sometime now. Anyone who snowboards knows that this silhouette has been around for 5+ years and does not appear to be going away anytime soon. The flex you get from the soft-shell fabric is really good. I can't wait to wear test it some more before bulk production!

In late June, former Florida State University miler Ciaran O'Lionaird asked me whether he should end his season or press on and keep going. He was torn. After a full collegiate season, he was competing in small European meets long after the runners he had been racing neck and neck with a few months earlier had called it a year. No one could blame him if he packed it in, and in fact many would have said it was the right choice.
I advised Ciaran to keep at it, and that decision shaped his future. By the end of the summer he'd set a 6-second PR at 1500m (3:34) and made the 1500m final at the world championships. While the rest of us might not face such dramatic consequences when in a similar situation, the question remains: How do you know when to call it a season and when to press on in the hope of having a breakthrough?
The first step is to answer the obvious question: How much gas is left in the tank? Essentially, you need a full analysis of where you as a runner stand. There are three different systems that need to be objectively checked as part of the analysis: the aerobic system, the muscular system, and where you are mentally. To evaluate these three systems, the tools used are recent workouts, races and an introspective look into where your motivation lies.
YOUR AEROBIC SYSTEM: After spending weeks on end putting in the mileage, tempos, and long aerobic intervals during the base period of training, you'd think that aerobically there'd be no problem. The reality is that as soon as the training shifts to harder and faster work, the mileage drops, and the racing increases, the aerobic system gets a little neglected. All of a sudden your ability to use oxygen decreases a little bit, the race times start to drop off and the longer runs and workouts become a little bit tougher.
To evaluate your aerobic system, use recent races and workouts as an indicator. Schedule a tempo run or longer intervals that can be compared to another workout that you did early in the season. If the times are significantly worse, then chances are your aerobic system has eroded.
Besides the objective measurement of times, effort and breathing level are also good indicators. If the same workout is much more difficult or if your breathing becomes increasingly labored compared to earlier versions of the workout, then aerobically you might be shot. As we'll see in a bit, that doesn't necessarily mean the end of your season, but if things are looking good aerobically you have passed the first major step in deciding to press on.
YOUR MUSCULAR SYSTEM: The next step is to figure out the condition of your body on a muscular level. The muscles and the thing that controls them, the nervous system, take a beating during a season of racing. We mostly notice it through the aches and soreness that accompany the sport, but what are more important are the subtle differences in responsiveness and power. We all know the feeling of showing up to a hard workout or race and feeling like we have no pop or extra "oomph" in our stride, or feeling like we just can't settle into that rhythm that was once there.
Once again, to evaluate where you're at, go to recent workouts and races. In races, have you felt "off" or flat from the beginning? If so, that's a sign that muscularly something might not be right. Try two different kinds of workouts to evaluate your muscular readiness. First, try some near-maximum sprints of 100m or less to determine whether the power is still there. Compare these to early season times if possible; more important, compare the sensation of running them and whether you feel smooth and powerful.
The second workout to do is what I call rhythm work and consists of around 2 miles worth of short repeats (200–400m) with equal recovery run starting at 5K pace at the beginning of the workout and progressing down to close to mile pace near the end. Under normal circumstances this should be a fairly easy workout that you walk away from feeling good. It's a sign of something muscularly off if instead you find yourself forcing to hit the splits or like you never could settle into the workout.
YOUR MENTAL STATE: Lastly, a deep look into where you are mentally is key to making the decision on whether to keep racing. A long season of racing can wear on a person mentally; it's one of the reasons top runners take a break when their season is over.
While there's no easy test to evaluate where you're at mentally, just asking the simple question of whether the fire is still there to go through another grueling workout or suffer in an upcoming race is usually enough. Be objective and realize that there's nothing wrong with saying that the well is empty and needs to be recharged.
To help discern whether there's enough left to keep pushing mentally, a good test is to take a day or two off completely and see if your motivation levels change. If you feel refreshed and are eagerly awaiting the next workout, that's a good sign. If not, it might be time to call it a season.
There's no one test to tell whether you should keep racing or shut it down, but by using the above criteria, you can gauge where your weaknesses are and whether your body and mind need a break or are ready to press on.

Do you think these guys should make a comeback on our roster?
I still have faith in them, provided that they play the way they should be (Oden sans the injuries, Ha the way he plays in Asian basketball).
Your thoughts.
Posted 04/21/2013 2:21 AM
oden in limited minutes wouldn't be bad he'd provide some defense off the bench
Posted 04/21/2013 2:37 AM
Yeah, I agree with you. And I do hope that I won't see him play for another team once he comes back to play in the NBA (which might turn out monsterous after recovery).

lol thats why I said limited minutes less chance of an injury
Posted 04/21/2013 3:31 PM
If Oden never got injured he would be a star. If he comes back he will be good, not nearly as good as he COULD have been but still will be a very good player.
Posted 04/21/2013 4:36 PM
I think he could be a solid back up and probably @ this point would settle for the vet minimum

This is what he had to say:
For starters, Portland isn't a great city to live in if you're a young, African American male with a lot of money," Greg explained with an embarrassed grin. "But that's especially true if you don't have anybody to guide you. Since I was hurt the entire season, I was on my own a bunch and didn't have veteran teammates around to help me adapt to the NBA lifestyle.
He even said that Portland was the reason he became an alcoholic.Thats about as true as my being Black because i was born at night.

A week after her live performance at "Good Morning America", actress and singer Demi Lovato is eager to continue promoting her upcoming debut album called "Don't Forget" which is planned for release on September 23 via Hollywood Records. Just after the premiere of Disney Channel Original Movie "The Cheetah Girl: One World", she dropped a music video for the first single "Get Back". The song which is listed in her upcoming set, is written by Demi herself with a favor from members of band Jonas Brothers.
Philip Andelman is the director who is chosen to help Demi making the music video. The video is shot near the big apple river. It shows Demi, doing a live performance with her band without any audience to watch her. When night comes, Demi's stage act is illuminated with some flashes from big lamps, which is set behind her and the band.

BioShock 2 Multiplayer Detailed2K Games has today revealed details of BioShock 2's multiplayer component, including word that it's set before the fall of Rapture and includes an experience point system.
Delving into the fiction of pre-revolt Rapture as a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, players will duke it out across in the underwater city in locations including the Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites--fully reworked for the multiplayer experience.
Experience points earned--presumably by smashing faces--unlock more weapons, gene tonics and plasmids with which to customise your character. It's yet unclear whether this will be a persistent system--as in Call of Duty 4--or on a per-play basis.
Behind the multiplayer is Digital Extremes, the Dark Sector creator who helped with the PlayStation 3 port of BioShock and co-developed the first three Unreal Tournament titles.
BioShock 2 is set to arrive on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall.

text: Brewers second basemen Rickie Weeks was off to another slow start at the plate this season but he woke up in a big way Tuesday night at Miller Park, leading the Crew to a 12-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Weeks, hitting under .200, went three for five with five runs batted in and sealed the victory with a huge, three run homer to right center field in the bottom of the 8th. The Brewers built a 7-3 lead for starter Marco Estrada who struggled with his location, surrenduring three home runs to the Pirates, leaving after five innings with a 7-5 lead. In the top of the 6th, it appeared the Brewers got an inning ending double play but the umpire called the runner at first safe. Blake Badenhop came on and was tagged by Sterling Marte for a three run homer on his first pitch to give the Pirates an 8-7 lead. Jean Segura tied the game in the bottom half with a solo homer and Yuniesky Betancourt put MIlwaukee on top with a solo home run in the bottom of the 7th. Weeks then capped it with his blast. Ryan Braun also went three for four as the Brewers banged out 15 hits. They've scored 22 runs in the two games in the series, winning their 8th straight game at home. Milwaukee plays for it's third consecutive sweep Wednesday afternoon, sending Hiram Burgos to the mound. After a 2-8 start, Milwaukee finished April 14-11, just a half game behind St. Louis for the NL Central Division lead.

One of the main objectives of the MMS curriculum is to encourage a high skill level in academic, artistic and athletic pursuits. Every day we are reminded of the exceptional talents of our students and the quality of their abilities in each of these pursuits. Fulfilling one area of this objective are six Junior High students who have recently been recognized for their artistic abilities by receiving the Scholastic Art Award.
Simon B., Hajira F., Madison K., William K. and Elizabeth M. have all received an Honorable Mention in the Scholastic Art Awards, while Ariana P. has been awarded with the Gold Key Award. These regional winners will be celebrated at the Milwaukee Art Museum on February 2nd, where they will be introduced individually on stage and will have a chance to speak about their work. By receiving this award at a regional level, all the artists qualify for judging in the National Scholastic Art Awards with the opportunity to have their work displayed at New York City's Carnegie Hall.
The Milwaukee Art Museum will be displaying the artwork of some of the regional winners from February 2nd – March 17th. While limited space does not allow for all students' work to be displayed, the award-winning art of Gold Key recipient Ariana P. will be on display at the museum during that time.
This is an incredible achievement for these artists and an excellent representation of the talents of our students at MMS. What's more, four of the six award-winning pieces were made using the print press that was purchased with money donated to the MMS Fund last year. Clearly, your MMS Fund donations have gone a long way to help our students thrive in the arts.
Join us in congratulating these talented young artists – it's quite an achievement to be recognized! To learn more about the Scholastic Art Award, click here.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — A former Kentucky player has been arrested in Lexington and charged with sex abuse and sodomy.
WLEX-TV reports that 25-year-old Michael James Porter was arrested early Tuesday morning. The station cites court documents that state Porter allegedly had sexual contact with two underage girls that he met while serving as a group leader during a church function.
The Fayette County Detention Center's website lists Porter as an inmate, but it did not have details on whether he had an attorney.
Porter played at Kentucky for three seasons, from 2006-2009, but left in his junior year to spend more time with his wife and child. During his last year, he played in 36 games, averaging 4.1 points and 2.5 assists per game.

Health researchers often use geocoding for studying the spatial distribution of populations based on a certain health outcome. To conduct any form of geocoding, health researchers generally require the use of address based data (e.g. street addresses) that are commonly obtained through survey questionnaires or hospital registries. Due to Canadian privacy and confidentiality laws, high precision addresses must be masked or aggregated to coarser geographies. In Canada, most health studies adopt the use of postal codes as they are widely available and accessible. Traditionally, postal codes are geocoded based on the Statistics Canada geocoding methodology that links postal codes to geographic representation points. However, this approach can lead to bias results in accessibility or spatial pattern analysis studies as postal codes (particularly those in rural areas) are at times displaced at far distances from actual residences. As a result, this research introduces a new postal code geocoding approach that can potentially improve upon the traditional approach by considering the land-use within postal code boundaries. Using two study areas (City of Kingston and the province of Ontario) the new and traditional approach were compared to determine which of the two better represents populations (based on residential location) at the postal code geography. Results showed that the new approach significantly improved how populations are represented in rural areas, with minimal improvements for urban areas. The impact of the new approach was also examined using population accessibility to medical clinics in the City of Kingston. The level of impact was based on the amount of population that was misallocated (by the two approaches) to non-nearest medical clinics. No significant difference was found in results between the two approaches with the new approach misallocating approximately the same amount of population (at both urban and rural areas) as the traditional approach. A larger study area that incorporates a higher number of rural postal codes is suggested (where the new approach has a higher geocoding positional accuracy) for future research.

The two-fold purpose of this study was to first examine how ethnicity and immigration operate within various settings of senior-centered community and health care services. Secondly, this study examined the role of place and how it shapes health and age identities among later-life Filipino immigrants. In total 37 semi-structured interviews (22 key informants and 15 later-life Filipinos) and a survey of 138 questionnaires were collected for analysis. Results from key informant interviews support current literature which suggests that immigrant seniors experience significant barriers to services, such as language, economic difficulties, immigrant family conflict and social and cultural isolation. Sharing from their working and personal experiences, key informants expanded on their own views about cultural and ethnic diversity describing the intersectionality of immigrant, ethnic and social identities, as well as their experiences of health and aging in Canada. They also discussed the predominance of monocultural views of aging and the limitations of multicultural and culturally competent senior care services. Compared to research on other Canadian immigrant populations, later-life Filipinos reported high levels of physical and mental health and described very few barriers to health care access in Canada. In-depth analyses of later-life Filipinos' narratives on their aging and migration experiences revealed culturally-informed views, expectations and understandings of what it means to age in a foreign land. Older Filipinos shared their ideas on the meaning of place, perceptions of aging and age identity, such as place-making and a sense of belonging in older age. This research considers the significance of ethnicity and migration as important social determinants of health and advocates for more life-course analyses on the health and aging experiences of the older immigrant. This research was built from a conceptual framework that incorporated concepts from life course theory and social determinants of health approaches in providing a critical perspective and examination about the role of place, culture and migration on normative views of the aging experience. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Geography) -- Queen's University, 2014-07-22 15:48:39.231 2014-07-23T04:00:00Z "They come here because it's a place of refuge": Residential Care Facilities with Cultural Affiliations Harhaj, NATALIA http://hdl.handle.net/1974/12235 2014-06-22T12:11:02Z 2014-06-19T04:00:00Z Title: "They come here because it's a place of refuge": Residential Care Facilities with Cultural Affiliations Authors: Harhaj, NATALIA Abstract: With the increase in Canada's seniors population (age 65 and over), there is a need to understand the residential requirements of this population. Almost 90 percent of seniors in Ontario reside in urban areas (Hodge 2008) and the majority live in the Greater Toronto Area. Of particular concern is the decrease in availability of informal care for aging and weakening individuals due to changes in economy and family relations. These changes are likely to result in a large influx of seniors into residential care facilities (RCFs) because not everyone is able to stay at home or is eligible to live in a long term care (LTC) facility. Seniors' reasons for relocating as well as an analysis of their experiences after the move are required as the need for RCFs increases. Cultural and/or religious groups have become important providers of RCFs in Canada by offering necessary services for an aging population. The goal of this thesis is to analyse the importance of culture and the built environment within a push-pull framework associated with the decision to move to an RCF through a case study. The guiding question of the research is: Why do seniors choose facilities with cultural affiliations? In 2013, interviews were conducted with 15 residents, who were currently residing in a Ukrainian RCF called Ivan Franko. The results show that seniors move because of certain limitations (e.g., health, difficulty doing housework, family events, etc.). When an older person decides that they want or need to move, they will move to a facility that provides a physical and social environment while reinforcing cultural values (i.e., built environment), assuming a place is available. Acknowledging the limitations of a qualitative case study approach, the findings are important to consider as the multicultural population of the GTA and other large Canadian cities continue to age. The growing demand for places in RCFs reflects social, cultural and religious needs of a diverse older population. A challenge will exist for cultural and religious not-for-profit voluntary organizations, the for-profit sector, and governments at all levels to seek new ways to develop facilities in the future.

Runoff samples collected throughout the summer of 2012 from an undisturbed catchment (Goose; GS) and from one that was disturbed by ALDs (Ptarmigan; PT) were analyzed for dissolved inorganic ions and species of total dissolved N (TDN), including dissolved organic N (DON) and dissolved inorganic N (DIN; ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2-), and nitrate (NO3-)). Rainfall samples were also collected for dissolved ions analyses. Select runoff and rainfall samples were analyzed for stable isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen in NO3- (δ15N-NO3- and δ18O-NO3-, respectively) to determine its origin streamwater. Data from 2012 were compared to predisturbance data to assess the long-term effects of ALDs on N export. ALDs increased the proportion of DIN/TDN in PT from 4% (predisturbance) to 37% in 2012. The increase in DIN/TDN in PT largely resulted from significantly higher NO3- in runoff. Values of δ18O and δ15N-NO3- as well as correlations between NO3- and major ions indicated that the higher NO3- in PT was due to the exposure of mineral soils in ALDs, which likely reduced NO3- sinks (e.g. plant uptake) and increased inputs of nitrified-NO3-. Values of δ18O-NO3- during initial runoff showed that NO3- supplied from the snowpack overwhelmed NO3- sinks in PT, leading to a twelve-fold higher peak NO3- concentration relative to GS. Low δ18O-NO3- values in runoff during stormflow indicated that inputs of DIN from rainfall (1545 ± 148 and 1838 ± 174 g N-DIN to GS and PT, respectively) supplied less than 30% of the NO3- in both streams, and that exceptionally high NO3- concentrations in PT resulted from flushing of mineralized-NO3- from the mineral soils. Seasonal DIN flux was 95% higher in PT relative to GS, because NO3- export from PT was 27 times that of GS. This is the first study to show that ALDs can have persistent impacts on DIN export from High Arctic watersheds, and that this results from enhanced export of mineralized-NO3-.

Hey Everyone,
So this is something i've been wondering about for a while now but haven't had enough of an application to justify trying to figure it out. At this point however, i've designed a small conversion form that can be called by our engineers and allow them to convert between various units. I'd like to have a button though that allows them to call up the Quick Calc application from within AutoCAD. What i'm wondering is how do i actually call a native autoCAD command? Is it possible and if so where could i find documentation on the syntax. For what it's worth i'm working in C# in VS 2010.
As always any help is greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
There are lots of topics on this, search this discussion group for "command" or "command line" or "commandline"
Not to be a pain, but i can't seem to find anything in relatino to what i'm asking about.
Thanks, after a bit of googling i was able to get the SendStringToExecute working.

Prepped all the veggies and layered them in the crockpot and then realized I hadn't bought stew meat like I had planned! Luckily I had a London broil. I coated it with the flour and a little pepper and kosher salt. Seared it and put it on top of the veggies. I also didn't have the browning sauce (I really need to restock my kitchen!). So I used about a tablespoon of Worchestershire Sauce and a little soy sauce. About 30 minutes before the stew was done I added a little cornstarch to thicken and about a cup of frozen peas. When it was time to serve I cut the London broil and it was so tender. Served this with fresh baked rolls. My husband and I loved this! So delicious and easy!
I made this a few weeks ago as a cold-winter-day stcik to the ribs dinner. Turned out exactly like the stew I had growing up, meaning it was excellent! I didn't change a thing in the recipe. We had unexpected company that day, and there were ZERO leftovers. An easy, delicious, and classic comfort food .
Good taste. Easy to make. Kids liked it. I did not used flour at all. I used vegetable broth instead of beef broth and still came out great!
I had my doubts about half way through the cooking process. I thought it smelled like the thyme was overpowering the other flavors; however, after it was done, I was wonderfully surprised. It had a very good flavor with just a hint of thyme. I made the recipe just as written and I will make it again as written. It is a good beef stew but very mild tasting. I would have liked a bit more depth of flavor.
Great on a cool fall day.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Democratic leaders asked Governor Scott Walker today to use the state's projected billion dollar surplus to reduce a future deficit and spend more on education and job training.
Senate Minority Leader Chris Larson and Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca met Tuesday with the Republican Walker -- but they did not say exactly what the governor has in mind.
Walker is expected to unveil his proposal Wednesday night during his annual State of the State address to lawmakers. He has said he wants to use most of the surplus to cut both income and property taxes.
Larson says Democrats are not against tax cuts -- as long as the state's essential obligations are taken care of first. That includes a $725 million shortfall that's predicted for the next state budget in 2015. The shortfall represents almost three-fourths of the projected surplus in the current state budget that runs until mid-2015.
At least two Republican senators say they're open to using most of the surplus to eliminate the 2015 structural deficit -- and Walker might not have the votes to pass the type of tax cuts he wants.

Haifa Bay
Haifa Bay (Hebrew: מפרץ חיפה, Mifratz Haifa) is a bay along the Mediterranean coast of Northern Israel. Haifa Bay is Israel's only natural harbor on the Mediterranean.
Fed by the Kishon River, the cities of Haifa and Acre mark its southern and northern capes, while its centre is lined with dunes and the suburban Krayot neighbourhoods. Mount Carmel rises from the southern edge, while the mountains of the Western Galilee run up to the shore at the northern boundary. The Port of Haifa lies along part of its southeastern coastline.
Haifa Bay also signifies one of Haifa's nine boroughs, covering the overwhelmingly industrial area northeast of Downtown and south of Kiryat Hayim.
In the 1920s, several kibbutzim were established in the Bat Galim neighborhood on Haifa Bay in the wake of British Mandatory budgeting for development of the area.[1] With the coast of Palestine lacking a modern harbor, the British authorities drew up plans for new port facilities. The Haifa Bay Development Company, founded in February 1925 to further these plans, could not recruit the necessary capital, so the transaction was made by the Palestine Land Development Company. The land was purchased from the Sursock family, which had bought it from the Ottoman government in 1872. The 45,000 dunam tract was known as the Jidro lands. The company also acquired a 99-year concession for an additional 12,000 dunams of adjoining land, bringing the total area to 57,000.[2] The land changed hands several times due to financial difficulties, eventually becoming the property of the Bayside Land Company, established in cooperation with the Jewish National Fund. In 1928, the company commissioned Patrick Abercrombie to draw up a development plan.[3]
In 1934, the Phoenicia glass factory was established in Haifa Bay. The company moved to Yeruham in 1968, and is still operating today.[4]
Industrial zone[edit]
Haifa Bay's extensive industrial zone, with its shore-based oil refineries and chemical and metals fabrication plants, has led to pollution of the bay and a higher incidence of cancer in the surrounding communities,[5] though air pollution in the region is expected to be significantly reduced with major plants in the area expected to switch to using natural gas as their primary fuel source after the new national natural gas distribution grid was extended to the region in early 2011.[6] The 76-meter high twin cooling towers of the Haifa oil refinery are a nationally recognized icon for the city. For this reason, they have been left intact, though they are no longer actually used since technological advancements in refining have made them obsolete.

Miranda Lambert is the subject of a new exhibit opening Friday at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Miranda Lambert: Backstage Access highlights the singer's remarkable 2013 with her costumes from the CMA Awards and the "Mama's Broken Heart" video shoot among the items going on display. Miranda will be on hand for an invitation-only preview party for the exhibit Wednesday night.
"It's so crazy to think that there's an exhibit that celebrates my stuff and my tour in the Hall of Fame," Miranda says. "I don't really know how I'm going to react. I mean, I think it's all kind of been like just emails and finding stuff for the Hall of Fame until now. It's not really real."
Miranda visited the Country Music Hall of Fame herself when she was a young girl dreaming of becoming a country star. She hopes her exhibit inspires a new generation of country music hopefuls.
Says Miranda, "They'll see my road cases and my corsets and guitars on display, and it's like, 'I'll be in here one day.' Just like I thought when I was little, and there I am already. I mean, just for a time, but still. I can say I've been in the Hall of Fame now."
When she was a kid, Miranda was star struck to see Dolly Parton 's flashy costumes on display. She was also amazed to realize how tiny Dolly is based on those ornate dresses. That experience led Miranda to make one request for her own exhibit.
Miranda says, "I'm like, 'Suck my corsets in a little more. Make sure those mannequins are little!'"
For more information, go to CountryMusicHallofFame.org . Miranda's new album, Platinum , comes out June 3.

From Union Square to the Upper East Side, Christians stopped on street corners across the city getting the sign of the cross on their foreheads. Ash Wednesday is usually observed during a church service, but some busy New Yorkers just don't have the time so they got their ashes "to go."
"I am really busy and the church by me the services didn't match with my schedule," said Michelle Perrott.
Bob Foltz-Morrison, the executive presbyter of the Presbytery of New York City, said: "We have been moving for being so enclosed in the church to moving outside the church."
A number of Manhattan churches participated, hoping to reach out to those who are religious, spiritual, and everything in between.
The Christian holy day marks the beginning of Lenten season. Last year's Palm Sunday branches are burned, combined with oil, and marked onto people's foreheads.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan talked about the idea of "ashes to go" after mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"That wouldn't be a part of our Catholic tradition the ideal is to receive ashes at mass like these thousands of people did today, or at least in church," the cardinal said.
Some say no matter where it happens, the message is the same.
"It's humbling to have people come to you, trust you to put ashes on their forehead, pray for them, and have a moment of sacred connection with each other," said Rev. Mieke Vandersall, the executive director of Presbyterian Welcome.
Rev. John Russelstanger of Presbyterian Welcome added: "We aren't trying to do something that replacing congregations but add to whatever Ash Wednesday can be in the city in 2014."

Belarus became the first nation to name its provisional hockey roster for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, Wednesday.
Head coach Mikhail Zakharov named a 23-man roster similar to the Belarus teams that competed at the 2008 and 2009 world championships.
Four NHL players made the roster, including Colorado defenceman Ruslan Salei, 36, Toronto forward Mikhail Grabovsky, 25, and Montreal's Kostitsyn brothers, Andrei, 24, and Sergei, 22.
Andrei Mezin will play between the pipes for Belarus. The 35-year-old netminder helped the Belarusians reach the quarterfinals at the 2009 worlds with a 94.77 save percentage that earned him teh Best Goalkeeper award at the tournament.
Mezin was also involved in Belarus' upset of Sweden at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City with 44 saves.
