- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014While the food was very good, it was extremely loud & made it difficult to even have a conversation with my husband.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and serviceShahanaDined on 9/10/2014We went there for the (my) first time to celebrate our birthdays. My freind had a birthday discount and I had the points from Open Table. The food was excellent although each serving was probably able to feed two. Very tasty and believe me I did my best to eat it all! We were seated at the window so had a clear view out over the bay with the geese feeding below. The only thing to take note of is that to get to the restauant you have to climb stairs, a bit of a problem for some like me. Coming down I also found that the area was quite dark. Still I would go back in a heartbeat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Wag but not this timeSharonDined on 9/9/2014Not as good as usual but 1st time ever- we have been many times. Server super friendly thoughSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/9/2014Booked a table for 6 which we later upped to 9 and we still had the position we requested and all was done cheerfully and politely. Great food with extensive choices - great indoor/outdoor ambiance. Can't wait to return to try some of the other dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place!mv82Dined on 9/9/2014I have been to this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. The food is fantastic and generous...the servers are great and friendly...and the atmosphere is very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic view and an great food!ladypeleDined on 9/7/2014I went to The WAG for my fiance's birthday supper. The food was fantastic, almost as good as the view! The waitress was a little slow and forgot a few things, but everyone has a day and it wouldn't prevent us from coming back. I highly recommend this location to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday, Sept. 7PiperDined on 9/7/2014This was our 51st wedding anniversary which was mentioned in making our online reservation - no mention was made by the hostess or by our server. We chose to sit on their "patio" but this was far different from their indoor, white linen, etc. service. We had an excellent wine that was new to their list but we were aware of. However, the server knew nothing of it. We had to ask for napkins and cutlery when bread, oil and our appetizer arrived. After pouring the first glass of wine, we had to pour own from then on. That said, our server was very friendly, great with the "repartee", and the food was excellent. This was probably our 3rd or 4th time there but our first on the patio.Special Features:
- Good experience.pwllheliDined on 9/5/2014We were lucky to get a window table overlooking the bay, and with the windows open and a slight breeze wafting in, it was lovely. The service was attentive and courteous, and the wine was served promptly on ordering. I had ordered soup, which was delicious, but had been sitting around for a while and had cooled somewhat…normally I would have sent it back to be nuked, but it tasted so good, and I was so hungry that I went ahead and ate it as it was! The steaks we ordered were cooked as requested, and were also very good. Overall, a great experience, and would certainly recommend to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PotsDined on 9/4/2014Service was extremely slow. It appeared there were only two servers, and perhaps only one person in the kitchen. It was not "busy" Would hate to think how long we would have had to wait if there were another 10-15 people to be served. Need more staff as servers and in kitchen. Just not acceptable to wait 25 minutes after order placed. When food arrived, it was almost thrown on the table as server was in such a rush trying to keep up to customer requests.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great experience!pickyxwaitpersonDined on 9/3/2014Food, service, ambience--top notch! Great for a special occasion or to treat visiting family. Wonderful place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaraunt ,our AnniversarySurreypeepsDined on 9/2/2014I was researching restaraunts for our 12th year anniversary. wanted something special. I found this one through another website. seeing it was 20 minutes from home and the menu options would suit my girlfriend, plus the fact I could reserve online was a bonus.I made dinner reservations for 7:15pm. the weather was horrible, making the drive slower but I didn't mind. we noticed they had a special on Tuesday. we ordered from that menu. my girlfriend ordered the soup du jour,seafood hotpot and for dessert the tiramisu. I ordered the mixed greens with pear and blue cheese salad,chicken stuffed with goat cheese and herbs and for dessert crème brulee. food was amazing my girlfriend loved her entrée. made our anniversary night special.thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- special birthdayscheers2youDined on 9/1/2014For a number of years now, both my husband and I have received your birthday dinner gift certificate and we make a point of using them. We know we will have a lovely meal and setting for our "special day(s)". The food has always been done to perfection, we have both enjoyed every meal we have had there and look forward to it each year. My husband said it was the best steak he has ever eaten. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/1/2014We had not eaten at WAG for a few years and came out for the occasion of a wedding anniversary. It was Sept 1st and labour day but whenever we had eaten there in the past it was always a fine dining restaurant. The staff and other diners reflected such. But this experience was very different. The staff were so casual and casually dressed and the fellow diners were so casual. However the menu and prices were that of a fine dining restaurant. We are not sure whether it was this particular day but it really lacked ambiance and felt over dressed and it was a disappointment for us. on a positive note the food was good.Special Features:
- Great ambiance and service!TheTaylorsDined on 9/1/2014We came for our anniversary and they were very friendly and prompt. We asked to change our reversation last minute and it was no problem. We thought the appetizers were a bit small for how much they cost, but all the food tasted amazing. Our server Matt was outgoing and took great care of us. We loved the ambiance, all the fresh flowers and open air with a beautiful view. We would definitely come back and recommend this place to our friends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Evening in White RockReservationsPleaseDined on 8/31/2014Great location with a lovely view. The food was fresh and well prepared. The service was very pleasant. Desserts were particularly delicious.Special Features:
- Now a casual spotDelta1debDined on 8/31/2014It was my birthday dinner and I wanted to go to somewhere nice. When we got to the WAG, there were people dressed in shorts and sandals and screaming kids! The waiter was awesome, he was very attentive. I ordered the Surf and Turf Special. It was lathered in Sauce. Was the restaurant covering up a cheap piece of steak, I wondered? Even though, I had made reservations we were not seated in one of the available window seats. That was disappointing. Now, I would go to the WAG for a casual dinner. There was nothing special about this restaurant, except the service.Special Features:
- Best food and atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014Overall the WAG is a 5 star place food, live music, service and a view doesn't get better! I always recommend the WAG for everyone such a great experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Shaley104Dined on 8/30/2014The food was excellent as usual. The service was very good. We always enjoy our experience at the WAG.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MartDined on 8/24/2014We love coming here with or without the family (kids included)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday dinner out with friendsFoodie26Dined on 8/23/2014Our server was great and friendly! She allowed me to order the stuffed chicken breast grilled, instead of with prosciutto, which I do not like. We had a nice table by the window on the patio, which we were happy about since the inside of the restaurant seemed quite hot. At the end of out meal I asked about complimentary dessert for the birthday boy but that server said you do not do that, which I was very surprised about most restaurants do. Other than that we had a good experience!Special Features:
- Always Greatfoodlover73Dined on 8/23/2014I've been going to WAG for years and every time I've had a great experience. This time was no exception. The host and buser were exceptional this time taking care of us and our sever was spot on- so friendly and speedy. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lively.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014The food was excellent and the service was good; however, I was a little disappointed with the seating. I know it is not always possible to get the table you requested; however, I felt that the table for 2 we were put at in the back was a little too close for comfort beside the next table for 2. It's hard to have a private conversation when you are only 2 feet away from the next party. Also for a Sat night there was no live music as usual?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Return DinerListenerDined on 8/22/2014Enjoyed everything except -1- table was against an opening (former window) into the old house and the couple at that table might as well have been at our table - a bit awkward as they were somewhat amorous. -2- the noise level - ENERGETIC???? are you kidding - how about painful? It was so high at the start of our evening that it was uncomfortable - pretty well eliminated any conversation at the table (not withstanding the neighbours). By the middle of our time there the noise level declined significantly. I must say that the others in the party felt that the noise somewhat spoiled the evening. You could use some significant noise damping - not hard to do but I think the payoff would be significant in customer satisfaction.Special Features:
- great two passenger dining exper.thevancitydinerDined on 8/22/2014Great menu with lots of choices. Sat right away on a busy Friday night. Water was set within 5 minutes. Very loud with other patrons in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- August 20 Dinner ReviewFroggyDined on 8/20/2014As usual we enjoyed great food service and atmosphere at WAG. It was a most appropriate choice of restaurant to celebrate my wife's 79th birthday. Our widow friend who joined us for the celebration was most impressed with the evening. I think she is now 'hooked' on WAG.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/20/2014The only compliant we have is that when we made the online reservation, we mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary. This information obviously didn't get communicated to our server. A simple "Happy Anniversary" would have been very nice.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/13/2014This is one of our favourite restaurants. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere is a perfect balance of fun and formal. I had the tomato boccocini salad and the seafood hotpot and both were excellent.Special Features:
- croz1Dined on 8/13/2014food was very good however i should have asked for the in house tartar sauce on the side as it was a bit much on the nice vegetables the area with the ocean view was quite noisySpecial Features:
- Been better beforeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/10/2014Eaten at the WAG multiple times and found the food quality to be sub par this time around. Might choose to try a different restaurant at a similar price point before returning againSpecial Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/8/2014We were seated on time which is always a good start, the food was good, the fish super fresh. Wine selection is limited but well balanced. The live band was good but just a little too loud to have meaningful conversation without doing the exaggerated faces trying to get your conversation heard. However, as soon as we asked to go into a quieter area we were immediately accommodated. The service was excellent. Just the right amount of attention.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/5/2014Our friends ordered from the regular menu and seemed happy with the mixed seafood grill and the lobster-stuffed ravioli, while my husband and I opted for the Tuesday 3-course dinner special. The mixed green salad and the Caesar salad were both attractively served. I enjoyed the seafood hotpot but my husband was less enthusiastic about his curried prawns, which arrived lukewarm. We enjoyed both the dessert options of creme brulee and tiramisu. Service was good, and we enjoyed the view and a welcome breeze through an open window.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never been disappointedTheKidsAlrightDined on 8/4/2014Been many times and keep returning. Always a good dining experience. This time we did try the crab artichoke dip for an appi and wasn't impressed. Dip was a little dry and the chips had too much cayenne pepper on them so they over powered the flavours of the dip. It want terrible but won't order it again. Main course was a flat steak cooked perfectly and very tasty sides of veggies and garlic mash. Unfortunately had no room for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/2/2014we had reserved for a windown seat/did not get one until we had a table of four guys who sat near the windown and one of them decided to spit out the window/we then talk to the manager and he moved us to the other side where we got a window/what is the point of making reservations if you cannot get what you asked for/this isn't macdonalds/neither did he comp a free desser/this group of guys should have been asked to leave/not a very happy customerSpecial Features:
- too hot in the summerLJPODined on 8/2/2014Our reservation was for five people at 5pm August 02 - my husband's birthday. We didn't get an open window table, but a closed window table at the extreme right hand side at the back, behind an open window table. We had to lower the shades when we first sat down because of the sun coming through the window at the people sitting closest to it. It helped for a while until the restaurant started filling up and getting hotter. After eating a delicious dinner, we all had full intentions of ordering dessert and special coffees, but at that point, everyone at the table was sweating bullets !!! To the point of being so hot and uncomfortable, we chose to leave instead. It wasnt what we wanted from the evening by any means. Very disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- casual elegancelimabeanDined on 7/31/2014Had dinner here in enclosed patio after finding the restaurant in my entertainment book and reading reviews. The online reviews were spot-on but I still didn't expect such good food and top notch service for what feels like hanging on a nice beach-view patio. Variety of menu from $10 salads to $25 entrees, daily drink specials (looks like a great place for 1/2 price wine bottle night) and as I left a blues group was playing. I'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent food!krisDined on 7/25/2014Although this is right in ou neighbourhood, we hadn't been there before except for drinks (which are unusual and very good). The food was delicious and well presented. We will definitely go back again.Special Features:
- 3 times a charmPietroblanco2oDined on 7/25/2014This was our third visit to Washington Avenue Grill, all of them for supper and none of them disappointing. Food and service have been consistently excellent, and the location and ambience are terrific. It was a beautiful summer evening and we were seated in the southern addition with all its windows open to admit the gentle ocean breeze. The flatiron steak with seafood béarnaise was wonderful, as was the chicken and pesto linguine which was so obviously calorie-laden but a rare treat. An extensive and interesting wine list is an added bonus, as is the low-key live entertainment.Special Features:
- Ahi Tuna entreeBlessingstoall12345Dined on 7/25/2014We had a lovely time at WG. The service was very good, the scenic view and ambience were all very appreciated. We were a group of four. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. However, if I could make a suggestion regarding the Ahi tuna entrée that I ordered. Since I order Ahi tuna frequently and have eaten this dish from various restaurants in Canada and the U.S. I would suggest that it be sliced thinly as opposed to thick slices as it is served quite rare. I would also recommend that your sauce be modified to a lighter glaze. As a local hillside resident, we have always enjoyed WG very much! Thank you and keep up the fine work of entertaining the many who walk through your doors of hospitality and warm welcome.Special Features:

News Briefs
Date: November 14, 2012
by: Observer Staff
+ Planning commission discusses SMR project
The Manatee County Planning Commission considered changes to the Lakewood Centre Development of Regional Impact in Lakewood Ranch Nov. 8, at a meeting held at the county's administrative building.
"It is a minor update and a clean-up to the existing approvals," said Todd Pokrywa, vice president of planning for Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch. "No new density or entitlements are being sought."
The changes, generally, involve an update to the project's phasing and build-out dates, allow design flexibility and modify affordable housing conditions, among other changes, Pokrywa said.
The item was under the consent agenda.
Other regular agenda items included a county-initiated water supply facilities work plan and proposed developments off County Road 675 and Mendoza Road.
The items soon will go before the Manatee County Board of County Commissioners for approval.
+ Osteopathic med school enrollment up
Total enrollment at the nation's osteopathic medical colleges climbed 4.5% this year, with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, or LECOM, having the largest enrollment of any medical school in the country.
According to a press release, total enrollment at the nation's osteopathic medical schools tops 21,600. LECOM, with campuses in Bradenton, Eric, Pa., and Greensburg, Pa., enrolls 2,156 of those students.
Today, 20% of all U.S. medical students are attending osteopathic medical schools.
That number is expected to increase as three new colleges of osteopathic medicine open their doors in 2013, with several others in the planning stages.
LECOM's Bradenton campus received approval for a class-size increase in 2011 and currently has 707 osteopathic medical students enrolled.
+ Accident due to dropped cell phone
According to a report by Florida Highway Patrol, a Nov. 6 crash killed a 66-year-old man driving a Chevy Suburban.
An 18-year-old girl driving a Ford Expedition traveling south on I-75 dropped her cell phone and reached to pick it up. Doing so, she entered the inside shoulder of the road, over-corrected and overturned her vehicle.
The Chevy Suburban struck the overturned Ford. Then, a freight truck driven by a 37-year-old man also ran into the crash site. The other two drivers were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Meetings & Agendas

New York"s first true Madrileño tapas bar offers its Spanish nibbles in cramped quarters, with only a few barstools and ledges for plates; the idea is to graze, drink and chat before heading elsewhere for dinner. An adventurous party of two, up for such challenging dishes as a miniature wasabi-kissed sea urchin "panino," could quite easily eat every single thing off of the short menu without feeling too gluttonous. Don"t miss the silky salt-cod nuggets in thick beignet batter, the beautifully plump garlic shrimp and the fine selection of Spanish wines by the glass.

While in the Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU), your baby may receive care from a lactation specialist and breastfeeding resources nurses.
Lactation specialists want to understand your personal breastfeeding goals. They will work with you to create and review a personalized pumping schedule to maximize your milk production.
Your milk is both food and medicine for your child. No infant formula can compare. Your milk will protect your infant while he or she is in the hospital.
Your baby's nurse will teach you about mouth care. With a sterile cotton swab or your hand-washed finger, you will coat the entire inside of the baby's mouth with the milk. You can leave a small amount of milk for your baby's nurse to do mouth care when you are not here. Mouth care with your milk helps to protect the baby from infection and babies love it.
We will work with you to create and review a personalized pumping schedule to maximize your milk production.
Skin-to-skin contact supports the emotional, psychological and physical well-being of the child and mother (fathers can do skin-to-skin care too). It reinforces the bonding and attachment between baby and parents. We can teach you more about skin-to-skin contact.
Once your baby is extubated (has his breathing tube removed), he can start practicing at the breast. You will need to pump your breast first.
Most of our N/IICU nurses have taken a two-day intensive course on how to support and educate our families on the provision of human milk and breastfeeding in the N/IICU. They are called breastfeeding resource nurses. Breastfeeding resource nurses are available 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Your baby's nurses should be able to help you and answer most of your pumping/breastfeeding questions.
There are two other lactation specialists in the nursery who are experienced nurses who have taken the examination to become International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants.
To establish your milk supply, it will be important to pump every 2-3 hours with a goal of eight pumps in a 24-hour period during the first few weeks after delivery. This is important even if your baby can not receive the milk at that time.
By the end of the first week you should be producing between 500-1,000 milliliters in a 24-hour period. It is very important to keep your pump log so we can review it with you. The amount of milk you produce on any individual pumping or from each breast is not as important as how much you produce in a full day of pumping. Please keep your log and bring it with you each time you visit.
All inpatient units at Children's Hospital have a Symphony hospital-grade pump available for use. If you need one, please ask your nurse to have one delivered to you.
The N/IICU and the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit also have pump rooms available for your use. There are also pump rooms in the following locations:
Children's Hospital rents hospital-grade Medela breast pumps and BabyWeigh Scales. Our pump and scale rentals are available seven days a week. To contact our rental station, please call 267-426-5325 and leave a message with your call back number. Appointments for rental pick ups and returns are made on an individual basis.
Our team is led by Diane L. Spatz, PhD, RN-BC, FAAN. Dr. Spatz is an internationally recognized expert in the field of human milk and breastfeeding. She is a PhD-prepared nurse and has more than 20 years experience in this field. Dr. Spatz has researched, written and lectured about the importance of mother's milk to critically ill and fragile infants and babies.
Breastfeeding resource nurses are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
For more information about common breastfeeding concerns, human milk management and more, see our Breastfeeding and Lactation Program.
Lactation specialists are available Monday through Friday, during the day, for inpatient and outpatient consults. To schedule a time, call 215-590-4442.
* Please leave a message and best time to contact you or when you will be at your baby's bedside.

There has been speculation that Mike Duggan will run for Detroit mayor. One supporter now says the Detroit Medical Center CEO could soon be making a big announcement.
"Within the next 30 days I think we're going to have a major announcement," said former state Supreme Court Justice Conrad Mallett.
That major announcement is the formation of an exploratory committee by Mr. Duggan, which is the first step toward a formal announcement that indeed he is running for mayor of Detroit. All this was plotted out with 75 key supporters last Saturday at the Duggan residence in Detroit.
Of course, if and when Mr. Duggan makes that decision, his opponent may or may not be the incumbent, Mayor Dave Bing.
Mallett concedes the mayor has returned integrity to the office, but that's not enough.
"It is not enough to be an honest, good man. You also have to be an honest, good man who's an effective administrator, and that's Mike Duggan," he said.
If Mr. Duggan does get into the race, his opponents may raise his tenure with former Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara, who before he passed away was investigated by the federal government. No charges were ever filed, but is that a potential problem for Mr. Duggan?
"We will manage through whatever questions that might be raised. This is a man of high integrity, a demonstrated record of effectiveness, and what we say is bring all of it on," said Mallett.
He also said every day he is urging Duggan to get into the race.
"I cannot think of a reason why he would not run. Now, he might be able to think of a reason."
We'll see if he does.

Adding John Goodman to any movie is a way to better pique our interest. So a tip of the hat to Paramount, which has added the consummate character actor who recently stole scenes in the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis to their growing ensemble for the remake of The Gambler.
We can expect this remake to be pretty big, as Lange joins box office champion Mark Whalberg as his mother. It will be directed by Rupert Wyatt, who rocked the box office himself with another sorta-remake, 2011s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
The original film, scripted by James Toback and directed by Jarel Reisz, told the story of a literature professor named Alex Freed who has a serious gambling addition. This vice results in him not only accumulating massive amounts of debt and recieving threats from bookies, but also alienating the people he loves most.
With the rumors about him directing Star Trek 3 so strong that even J.J. Abrams has been forced to address them, Rise of the Planet of the Apes helmer Rupert Wyatt may be lining up a very different, much more earthbound project. According to The Wrap he's in negotiations to direct The Gambler, a Paramount remake of the 1974 drama, with Mark Wahlberg also in line to take on the role that was originally played by James Caan
Phillips is reportedly in talks to helm Paramount's remake of The Gambler, a 1974 crime drama that starred James Caan and centered on a literature professor brought low by his addiction to gambling. Last summer, Scorsese was attached to direct the remake...
The article is a great slice of Hollywood history if you're interested in that kind of thing, but also a kind of primal cry from a director who clearly knows how the business works-- Paramount owns the rights to The Gambler and nobody actually had to ask him permission to remake it
Martin Scorsese, who seems to constantly have at least four projects in development at a given moment, has picked a new story to add to the pile. THR reports that he and The Departed screenwriter William Monaghan will team up again for The Gambler, a remake of the 1974 drama that starred James Caan

With just a compass, some charts, and an hourglass, Christopher Columbus was able to navigate sailing ships to the New World and back multiple times. By contrast, reports the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard, it is going to take "tens of thousands" of people, each possibly earning "$20 an hour or more," to help Americans navigate ObamaCare.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed a rule laying out the requirements for the healthcare law's insurance "navigators," whose job it will be to assist Americans who don't have coverage through their employers in purchasing insurance through state exchanges. Buying coverage is scheduled to commence in January, but the websites and call centers for the exchanges are supposed to go active October 1, and that's when the navigators will first be needed. (Of course, those dates could very well be pushed back: The feds' small-business exchange has already been delayed a year, and HHS is also known to be a few months behind on the state exchanges, many of which it will have to run.)
There is little question that people are going to need a great deal of help finding their way through the labyrinthine legislation. The two laws comprising ObamaCare come to nearly 1,000 pages, and the regulations issued under it are already "well over twice as long as the Guinness World Record for the longest novel," according to Americans for Limited Government. A draft version of the federal government's application for insurance is 15 pages long for a family of three and includes an additional 61-page questionnaire for determining eligibility for financial assistance. The proposed navigator rule itself runs to 63 pages.
Just who is eligible to become a navigator? Although the rule declares that navigators "must not have a conflict of interest during their term" and "must provide information and services in a fair, accurate, and impartial manner," it provides little other guidance. "The rules allow navigators to come from the ranks of unions, health providers and community action groups such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood," Bedard states. In fact, they require each exchange to have "at least two different types of entities as Navigators, one of which must be a community and consumer-focused non-profit group."
How many navigators will be needed? The final number has not yet been determined, but according to Bedard, California alone has requested 21,000 of them. It's no exaggeration to suggest that there may be hundreds of thousands of these tax eaters when all is said and done.
And taxes they will consume. HHS estimates that navigators will make anywhere from $20 to $48 per hour, depending on their positions. Assuming California got its 21,000 navigators and they all made just $20 an hour for a 40-hour week, they would cost taxpayers over $873 million a year — and that's for just one state. The day after the proposed rule was released, Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-Texas), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, sent a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius expressing his concern over the navigators' "inflated hourly wages," particularly "at a time when thousands of current federal employees are being placed on furloughs to reduce our budget deficit." (An administration official told Bedard that the $20-per-hour assumption used in the rule "is an estimate, not a recommendation or a requirement" and that "states and organizations are not required by the federal government to set any payment levels for these employees.")
Additionally, taxpayers will have to foot the bill for translators for non-English-speakers who seek insurance on an exchange. The proposed rule requires exchanges and navigators to "provide consumers with information and assistance in the consumer's preferred language, at no cost to the consumer, which would include oral interpretation of non-English languages and the translation of written documents in non-English languages when necessary to ensure meaningful access."
The exchanges themselves are supposed "to have a strong customer-service component, including call centers and physical offices," according to The Hill. This, too, will undoubtedly take taxpayers for a pretty penny — and provide customer service similar to that of the Internal Revenue Service.
Then there's the matter of voter registration. The draft ObamaCare application asks the applicant if he would like to register to vote; if so, it directs him to a voter registration form. Republicans are none too happy with this, fearing that it could be used to encourage people to register as Democrats — especially since Democrat-aligned activists may well be serving as navigators — or to retaliate against those who don't. (Democrats might want to consider this, too: At some point a non-Democrat will move into the White House and become privy to the data HHS has collected.) Rep. Charles Boustany, Jr. (R-La.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee, wrote to Sebelius on March 25, seeking more details on the voter-registration matter. In his letter he reminded her that the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) does not mention voter registration and that the Paperwork Reduction Act "requires that Federal agencies gather only appropriate information as required by legislation."
Navigating ObamaCare is going to be a costly, labor-intensive, intrusive, and politically charged task. In no conceivable way does it improve the quality or reduce the cost of healthcare. It does, however, vastly extend the reach of the federal government and the party that controls its executive branch. And that, more than anything else, explains why the law was passed and why it is proving so difficult to repeal.

Lenin said, "Socialized medicine is the keystone in the arch of the socialist state." It is time for the legislators in the state legislatures to protect their respective citizens from this oppression.

All I know is that when I am told to do something about this OCare for myself I am not going to do one thing. I won't be the only one not making a move to get insurance. I expect that to be millions of people that will still not comply to a dictatorship run by this WH goon. From this day on for the next year we are in for one hell of a ride to see what comes of this. Maybe that is one of the reason the DHS bought all that ammo and for years before now they knew where they were taking the country so that is why they set up all of those FEMA camps. Millions of people are going to come out of the woodwork against this.

White woman Dita von Teese wears a sari and South Asian jewelry despite the fact that she has no connection to South Asian culture at all.
White woman Dita von Teese decided to wear a bra rather than an actual blouse because who the fuck cares if she's hypersexualizing brown women.
White woman Dita von Teese has a history of using other people's cultural dress in her burlesque shows because racism, cultural appropriation, and hypersexualization of WoC are completely made-up concepts.
Basically, how long before this bitch incorporates a sari into one of her damned burlesque routines and then proceeds to take it off for men with too much power and money?
Let's not forget the shadeism that this will contribute too, desi women have been suffering shitloads for not having skin fair enough and then these white women parade around in our clothing and people encourage it because "it looks more beautiful on their bodies/skin color."
How long before I stop hearing, "don't go out in the sun, if you tan then no one will marry you"?
As a brown girl who has huge appreciation for Dita Von Teese, allow me to butt into both of your very ignorant debates. This picture was taken in New Delhi where she was she invited by Indians to a ball that was held in her honor as the new brand ambassador of the liquor brand Contreu. So no, there was no stripping of Sari for any men, rich or poor.
And the sari and blouse that she is wearing was actually presented to her by two Indian fashion designers under the same fashion house, 'Shivan & Naresh'. She was also presented with 27 different Saris based on 9 color palettes which she wore throughout her stay. So your claim about her wearing a bra instead of a blouse and hypersexualizing brown women is completely irrelevent because it's the Indians that designed it for her, not her. That's not even a bra, it's a corset which is something that she is well-known for. And oh wait, didn't Bipasha Basu wear a bra-like blouse at the IIFA awards last year? Hmm
So no, this collection of Saris that she was presented with and very gracefully wore it has got nothing to do with her burlesque routines. In fact, by donning on these saris, she is actually helping to give more exposure to the Indian fashion designers to the world because the fact is, unless you're Manish Malhotra, Indian designers do not get much help from the big names in the film industry .
You want to talk about color? A white woman being white? Let's talk about how Katrina Kaif even got into the film industry first okay? She's a white woman who is portrayed as Indian in most of her films. She has to keep her hair dark and even has to tan or bronze up her body at times, so that she can look, 'Indian'. I don't see anyone screaming at the top of their lungs for that? In fact, she is working with the best names in the industry which shows that she is appreciated. And if someone is comparing your skin color to another woman of another race, that person is mental. Open your mouth and tell the person off the next time they criticize you for your skin color.
This picture is nothing more than Dita Von Teese in a Shivan & Narresh sari in New Delhi as the new ambassador of Contreu.
If you want change, then i think we've got to change our mentalities first as brown people because clearly, we've got issues.
well then. *sips tea*

Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universeby Roger Penrose
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the best-selling author of The Emperors New Mind and The Road to Reality, a groundbreaking book that provides new views on three of cosmologys most profound questions: What, if anything, came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? What is its ultimate future?
Current understanding of our universe dictates that all matter will eventually thin out to zero density, with huge black holes finally evaporating away into massless energy. Roger Penrose—one of the most innovative mathematicians of our time—turns around this predominant picture of the universes "heat death," arguing how the expected ultimate fate of our accelerating, expanding universe can actually be reinterpreted as the "Big Bang" of a new one.
Along the way to this remarkable cosmological picture, Penrose sheds new light on basic principles that underlie the behavior of our universe, describing various standard and nonstandard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, and the key status of black holes. Ideal for both the amateur astronomer and the advanced physicist—with plenty of exciting insights for each—Cycles of Time is certain to provoke and challenge.
Intellectually thrilling and accessible, this is another essential guide to the universe from one of our preeminent thinkers.
About the Author
Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. He has received numerous prizes and awards, most notably the Wolf Foundation Prize in physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking. He is the author of three previous books, including The Emperor's New Mind. He lives in Oxford, England.

Myth #1 – Introverts don't like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don't talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won't shut up for days.
Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to…
The only thing is, I don't like the majority of the general population. Most are horrible human beings.

I've been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:
Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they're in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?
We're all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you."

SPOKANE, Wash.- Jeep drivers might want to be on the lookout in Spokane. Police said at least five Jeep Cherokees were stolen on the South Hill in two days.
Department officials said the trend is way out of the norm. Late model Honda Accords and Civics are typically the stolen vehicles.
"Coming wintertime, I don't want anyone to bother this car! It's a car that can get around in any, any weather," said Jeep owner Carl Speltz.
Speltz said he loves his Jeep Grand Cherokee and said there is nothing better for the cold and snow.
"They are very reliable in getting around the terrain. Come winter, I park the Buick and I take the Jeep," said Speltz.
One of the targets of the Jeep theft lives just two houses down from Speltz.
Another Jeep owner works on another block that thieves hit.
"We lock the car, we don't leave valuables in it," said Sami Sewall.
Speltz and Sewall said they are not going to drive themselves with worry even though it is discouraging to hear crooks are targeting drivers just like them.
Spokane police officers said the majority of the car thefts are happening in the early morning hours. They said thieves are smashing windows to get in.
Police are not sure how the thieves get the engines started but said they have devoted many resources to the odd new trend.

The virtual potash cartel comes to terms
A Russian deal could bring an end to the international price war over the important fertilizer.
Shares of producers of potash fertilizer popped on Friday, on news that Russian tycoon Suleiman Kerimov will sell his stake in potash producer Uralkali to investor Vladimir Kogan for $3.7 billion.
The thinking is the sale might end the fight between Uralkali and Belarus producer Belaruskali that led the two companies to break their partnership, which controls about 40% of global potash capacity, and set off fears of a collapse in the price of potash.
Shares of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT) closed up 2.14% for the day; shares of Mosaic (MOS) were ahead 3.65% and shares of Germany's K+S were up 4.5% (Potash of Saskatchewan is a member of my long-term Jubak Picks 50 portfolio).
Kogan is very closely tied to Russian president Vladimir Putin; he's been dubbed Putin's banker. The sale of Kerimov's 21.8% stake in Uralkali would put shares in the hands of the banker who would, the market presumes, look to rejoin the partnership with Belarus. The semi-official nature of the deal is clear from the involvement of Sberbank and VTB, both big Russian banks with strong Kremlin connections.
The deal is likely to take a couple of weeks to work out -- among other details to be negotiated would be the release of Uralkali's CEO Vladislav Baumgertner, who was arrested by Belarus on Aug. 26.
Since ending its partnership with Belaruskali, Uralkali, widely thought to be the world's low-cost potash producer, has ramped up production after having run at an average of 70% of capacity in 2012. That has driven potash prices down toward $300—a level that Uralkali has recently said is unlikely to be breached.
Full disclosure: I don't own shares of any of the companies mentioned in this post in my personal portfolio. When in 2010 I started the mutual fund I manage, Jubak Global Equity Fund, I liquidated all my individual stock holdings and put the money into the fund. The fund did not own shares of any company mentioned in this post as of the end of June. For a complete list of the fund's holdings as of the end of June see the fund's portfolio.

Abolish the Gramm Leach Bliley Act... Glass Steagall restores by default. Once it does, banks have to segregate their services again, collusion is illegal- even if Phil Gramm slipped his Crap Act into another and got it enacted by device. While they are weak, we can force them to be reconciled, regulated and force-supervised. We can jail the banksters and revive the means to recover ourselves. It's time... Close the banks... end the Federal Reserve and get RID of Wall Street. Call your members of Congress. Threaten to put them in Katrina trailers for life if they don't cooperate and finally do America some good.
To the deadbeats in DC:
I think it's crystal clear that rolling out Obamacare right now is a fatal mistake.
The nation is polarized on the fact that finance is broken, tyranny rules and control isn't in the hands of real Americans.
There is a job blockade. Those in management now run platforms that push paper and buttons. They don't create economy by any means. Globalization is a bust. You act based on the highest bidder... not the nation. Get out of Syria, FIX Detroit!
Could we by YOUR actions and inactions, be any more Un-American? There is a need to FIX THIS or resign today. Stop trying to push agenda and get the PEOPLE standing up and living again. We are well within our rights to ORDER you to establish stability for all right now.
Feel free to prove me wrong by standing before us and reciting EVERY law by memory. How can you expect adherence with so much confusion? Crash the markets. Close the banks. End the Federal Reserve or put a HUMAN in there, instead of an idiot with degrees. Go review video footage of Obama's term. The pageantry is there but the ACTIVITY is not. We needed leaders... not losers.
Every suppressed person gets individual support and restoration. We have NO ECONOMY, QE funded terrorism. Reverse and recollect it OR ELSE.

Indeed it was rare for apple to release such a major component of their IOS as prematurely as they did. However, Tim Cook and his team made a smart decision in providing the best alternative solution while their map app is getting fixed. The other school of thought will be that they will lose market share when users are sent to the competition. Apple knows and is vey secure in the fact that a majority of their users are committed to them based on the culture they have created. My guess is that users will take their recommendation and purchase another 99¢ map app, but will start using the Apple Map app as soon as it's updated. Why? Because Apple produces a superior product in almost everything they create.
on November 01, 2012
Having used and developed location aware applications based on both iOS 5 and iOS 6 and using both mapping apps, my experience is that the problems with both had to do with content, as opposed to the application itself. I find the new maps app to be better integrated and easier to use than the Google based one. I also note that the satellite images were about equally out of date. For example, the current image of Cars Land at California Adventure is probably a year old, still showing the ride under construction. I've also been directed to restaurants that turned out to be over a mile away (in Plymouth MA) and sent via streets that are blocked off (Disney Family Museum in the Presidio. The real standout difference is in how easy or difficult it is to submit a correction. In iOS 6 Maps it's two intuitive clicks away. The route change I submitted regarding the way to the DFM was implemented by Apple in just a few days. I worked for Apple for ten years and Disney is the only other company I've found that shares their passion for perfection, continuous improvement and chasing the dream. (At Apple we were "Changing the world, one person at a time.")

In this fundamental visual composition course, students learn the primary elements and principles of visual language, and are introduced to a range of formal and conceptual problems which become increasingly complex as the course progresses. Students are challenged to explore core design principles of visual organization in unique and challenging ways, and to gain the ability to problem-solve through ideation processes, group dialogue, perceptual refinement and skill management. Developing analytical skills and the ability to effectively engage in an on-going process of critique are also core components of the course. Design1 involves the planning and organization of the parts within a whole, through a sense of experimentation, risk taking and discovery. This course focuses primarily on two-dimensional forms but also gradually introduces three-dimensional forms. Material exploration and the development of strong manual skills in regard to visual acuity and craft sensitivity are a key aspect of every assignment. Knowledge and skills gained in concurrent Foundation program areas such as color, drawing and digital skills are fundamental for communicating ideas and are reinforced in Design 1. Offered fall.
While at CIA, you'll learn from the masters through our rigorous, world-class curriculum and connect with working professionals to begin your career.

Nicki Minaj has released her newest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, a revival of her Roman Zolanski alter ego created for her 2010 album, Pink Friday. The description alone incites the image that Nicki has been propagating: she's quite a far stride from your ordinary singer/songwriter. But with predecessors like Lady Gaga, Nicki has been critiqued as coming off as somewhat of a rehash.
Minaj is sort of a "love her or hate her" type of music artist. She calls for reactions by being an extreme performer her occult, macabre presentation at the 2012 Grammys comes to mind. But Minaj isn't the first performer to make a career off being "weird." In fact, she's often compared Gaga, another contemporary musician whose very existence is a celebration of oddity and uniqueness.
Being compared to Lady Gaga is sort of a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, Gaga is unbelievably popular, remarkably talented, and an exemplary of the message of loving yourself. Being associated with these things is a big win for Minaj. But with that comes the hard truth that she might always live in Lady Gaga's shadow.
Her new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, is at best a wavering example of Minaj's ability to stand alone as a performer. Her good songs are good the opening "Roman Holiday" stands out as terrifically creative and unique. Unfortunately, Minaj's album is packed with more forgettable, run-of-the-mill hip hop pieces. This practice is what stands in the way of her getting out of Lady Gaga's shadow.
Why Nicki Minaj opts for "the norm" songs like "I Am Your Leader," "Beez in a Trap" and "HOV Lane" are just ordinary when her bizarre compositions and performances are so much more invigorating and defining is a mystery. Maybe Minaj has been preparing for the inevitable comparison to Lady Gaga by keeping a few of these standards on her resume? That way, no matter what the results of her audience's "Gaga v. Minaj" debate, she'll still find success in step with the hip-hop genre.
But Minaj is better off going for broke. Her lyrics and harmonies in songs like "Roman Holiday" are strong enough to keep her in contention with Lady Gaga, or any contemporary artist for that matter. While she might never quite reach Gaga's demigod stature, with stronger pieces like this one and a consistent dedication to her unusual methods and styles of performance art, Minaj will persist as someone on the public's mind as a creative icon.

The 3.5-liter V-6 ensures that the front-wheel drive TL delivers on its aggressive appearance while providing a smooth, quiet ride.
The TL features Acura's largest engine, which offers a remarkable combination of power, efficiency and refinement.
The 6-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters gives you the best of both worlds by providing the convenience of precise and intuitive automatic shifting as well as shift-for-yourself control.
For those who consider no sport sedan complete without a clutch pedal, the TL SH-AWD offers a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The combination of a manual shift and Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) makes the TL SH-AWD a true driving enthusiast's delight.

Running Time: 1:49 Size: 15.5MB
Though it has the same all-weather attributes of conventional all-wheel drive, Acura developed its revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system to enhance high-performance dry-road handling. By continuously directing engine power to match weight distribution, available traction, and other conditions, SH-AWD provides seamless power transitions and supreme agility. The result is enhanced high-performance cornering that simply can't be matched by front, rear, or conventional all-wheel drive systems.
The TL's exceptional ride and handling combination is derived in part from its racing-inspired double-wishbone front suspension system and sophisticated multi-link rear design.
Precision-crafted electric rack-and-pinion steering allows drivers to feel how the wheels are encountering the road through their fingertips.
The TL brake system features a firm pedal feel that enables the precise modulation demanded of high-performance driving.
The TL body structure enhances acceleration, braking and turning response through weight-saving measures, while its remarkable rigidity allows the suspension to be tuned with greater precision.
The TL engine provides smooth, vibration-free operation with best-in-class wind-noise performance.
The TL has a Battery Management System that can help prevent the inconvenience of a dead or weak battery. The system initially warns you through the MID screen when it detects the battery getting weak and will shut down accessories if it detects the battery may soon be too weak to start the engine.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - It was the type of arrival fit for a Hollywood celebrity.
A couple of hundred media members and onlookers greeted the Milwaukee Brewers' dog Hank Tuesday morning, before he was scheduled to greet fans at the Team Store at Miller Park.
Hank was expected to make a one hour visit starting at 7 a.m., for those buying T-shirts and other items that feature the "ballpark pup."
Fans were also asked to bring basic pet items like treats and litter to help local animal rescue groups. 20 percent of all proceeds from Tuesday's purchases is being donated to the Wisconsin Humane Society.
Hank showed up as a stray at the Brewers' spring training camp in Arizona -- where he became an instant hit among players and fans. He'll stay with a team official's family in Milwaukee this year, when he's not making numerous appearances at Miller Park.
