TELLURIDE – Jonathan Greenspan stands before a mountain of mulch and a towering stack of aspen logs in the center of the bustling hub that is the San Miguel Area Resource-Recovery Transfer Station, or SMARTS Park.
Behind him, a crew of workers stand at a long table, sorting polycarts of comingled recyclables into larger dumpster containers, the contents of which will soon go into the compactor and, ultimately, to larger-scale recycling centers.
"I just started looking at it all and thinking, there's got to be something [usable] here," Greenspan says of the piles of refuse that surrounds him, shouting above the din of trucks unloading more loads of what might otherwise be headed to landfills as far as 80 miles away.
He's speaking about the impetus behind the SMARTS Park, a new, nonprofit community recycling and resource-recovery center located in the Ilium Valley outside of Telluride. Since its unveiling in May as the region's first nonprofit recycling center, the SMARTS Park has become a vital link in the region's Zero Waste Action Plan, serving as a recycling hub for southwest Colorado and offering a local option for diverting reusable materials in the region's waste stream.
"This answers a lot of questions about Zero Waste, our community's carbon footprint and what we do with our waste stream," Greenspan told Mountain Village Town Council at its meeting in May. Greenspan delivered similar updates to Telluride Town Council and the San Miguel Board of County Commissioners this spring, just as the SMARTS Park came online.
Since implementing residential and commercial recycling ordinances, the Town of Mountain Village has seen a 46 percent reduction in the amount of waste coming from its residential properties and going to landfill, reports Director of Environmental Services Deanna Drew. That diverted recyclable waste is going to the SMARTS Park.
According to Walter Wright, the Zero Waste coordinator for regional environmental group EcoAction Partners and a member of the recently formed Zero Waste Task Force, the SMARTS Park fills an important gap in the region's overall Zero Waste picture.
As he explains, the SMARTS Park diverts items that would traditionally go to the landfill, but it also find new uses for those items. "So in addition to the environmental benefits, there's an economic benefit," he says of the repurposed products created at the SMARTS Park.
Greenspan,the nonprofit's executive director as well as its creator, ran the Ilium-area recycling and resource-recovery center for the past seven years as a dimension of his for-profit business, SUNRISE. During that time, the park has proven itself a vital cog in the region's waste-diversion wheel. In 2011, the operation diverted just under two million pounds of recyclable materials from the Broad Canyon Landfill outside of Naturita, thus preventing over 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalence from being released into the atmosphere.
"Having a place very close by where people can bring a variety of items that traditionally were difficult to find a final resting place for is pretty important," says the Telluride Project Manager Karen Guglielmone, who is Telluride's representative to the Zero Waste Task Force. She says having a regional transfer station and recycling center will bring the region a degree of accountability and credibility as it works towards its Zero Waste goals.
The SMARTS Park accepts materials from Dolores, San Juan, and Ouray counties, and parts of Montrose County, as well. The center currently accepts traditional recyclables including aluminum, tin/steel, cardboard, paperboard, mixed paper, glass, and plastics #1-#7; in addition to harder-to-recycle materials like electronics, latex paint, ski and snowboard equipment, metal appliances, wood pallets, tree waste, and yard waste (free of weeds or rocks).
After being sorted and compacted, tin and aluminum is sent to Recla Metals in Montrose; glass goes to a recycling center in Cortez; and cardboard, paper and plastics are shipped to the Rock-Tenn recycling center in Torrance, Cali.
Electronics are also sorted and packaged at the Ilium facility, and then sent to a facility in Colorado Springs. Latex paint is sent to Pueblo, while ski and snowboard equipment heads to Loveland, Colo.
Tree waste is turned into mulch on-site, while green waste is made into compost, both of which are then sold to the local community.
As the center grows, Greenspan anticipates the SMARTS Park will also be able to accept food waste (putting it into a food composting system, similar to the yard waste composting system currently used on-site), HAZMAT items, textiles, and construction debris.
Yet the growth of operations at the SMARTS Park will depend on the new nonprofit securing the necessary funding to keep up with the regional demand, Greenspan says.
By transferring the center's operations to a nonprofit entity, the SMARTS Park is now eligible to accept tax-deductible donations, grants and even government-created "green" taxes, all of which could offset the center's more than $700,000 in annual operating costs.
What's more, it provides a mechanism for regional communities to address Zero Waste goals.
In 2008, San Miguel County and the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village adopted Zero Waste initiatives, modeled after a Zero Waste Action Plan created by leading Zero Waste consulting firm Gary Liss and Associates. The plan identified local resource recovery parks, like the one then being run by Greenspan's company, as key components of a viable and functional Zero Waste system.
Yet as Greenspan is quick to point out, the Zero Waste system also includes another important component: community buy-in.
"These are progressive communities, looking for progressive ways to handle their waste," says Greenspan. "All of the pieces are in place – except for the funding."
With the new nonprofit status, Greenspan says the recycling center can now apply for funding through grants, in addition to offsetting its operating costs through fees collected from users and sales of materials. Yet he hopes local communities and governments will see the new SMARTS Park as more than just a place to dispose of their waste, and begin to see it as an important link in completing the Zero Waste cycle.
"To truly complete the Zero Waste cycle, it's not just taking recyclable products to a resource recovery center, but also buying back the materials made at those resource recovery centers," Greenspan explains. Some municipalities have ordinances that require certain percentages of recycled or locally sourced materials to be used in construction, backfill and other projects – ordinances that could, if instated in communities served by the local recycling center, help stabilize the future of the SMARTS Park. The glass received at the center could be ground back into silica and used for concrete, for example.
Sitting just outside of the SMARTS Park office is an example of the full Zero Waste cycle, manifest in a concrete statue. The life-sized rooster was made out of beer bottles – 88 beer bottles, to be exact – which are now enjoying a second life as the SMARTS Park's very appropriate mascot.
The SMARTS Park is located at 802 Vance Dr., on the Ilium Industrial Loop. It is open to the public 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays, and will soon offer Saturday hours as well. Contact the SMARTS Park office at 970/728-0134 for more information.
TELLURIDE – Jonathan Greenspan stands before a mountain of mulch and a towering stack of aspen logs in the center of the bustling hub that is the San Miguel Area Resource-Recovery Transfer Station, or SMARTS Park.

Brooklyn >Shopping > Velvet Cigar Lounge
174 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1121140.709965 -73.962700
Sun-Thu, 3pm-1am; Fri-Sat, 3pm-2am
Neighborhoods: Williamsburg
Velvet Lounge is cozy and great. – I just wanted to refute the review below this one and add some comments so whomever sees this page can make an informed decision!
1. I totally disagree with this post below. First of all, it's a bar....so it's against the law to smoke inside. That's why they have such a nice little patio set up where you can bring your drinks and smoke right by the windows, there's plenty of room and the bartenders provide full service out there.
Going to a cigar store would NOT be cheaper, or better. The cigars are really reasonable and they have a wide range of prices and styles.
2. The cocktails are delicious, and saying they are girly but then saying they are too strong doesn't make sense. They don't even have a drink with tequila and St. Germain. And I know for a fact that if there's something you don't like about the drink they would be happy to fix it. The cocktail and spirit menu there is awesome, you can get pretty much anything your heart desires.
3. This isn't a pbr-slinging bar. So yeah, some of the drinks hit double digits, but you can easily get a 9 dollar glass of great wine or a 6 dollar beer, which is pretty standard for Williamsburg or anywhere else nearby. Not to mention they have a great happy hour- 2 for one on wines or a free shot with every beer.
I don't mean to rip this review apart but I felt like I had to defend this bar that I love. The staff is great, the owner is super friendly and knowledgeable, and I can't believe how much time and effort they put into making your experience there seem like you've gone into an old dear friend's home for a few drinks and a smoke.
Definitely check out the Velvet Lounge. It's worth the trip.
NOT a cigar bar – There are three major faults with Velvet Lounge (note: it is no longer called Velvet Cigar Lounge):
1) You cannot sit in the bar and smoke a cigar. They offer cigars to sell, but you have to sit outside to smoke them. You may as well go to a cigar store (which would also be cheaper).
2) Their cocktails are mediocre to poor, especially considering the pricetag. The cocktail menu is made up of mostly girly cosmo type drinks. I ordered the one drink with tequila and St. Germain. My boyfriend ordered a drink with rum and lime. They both tasted like margaritas. Way too much lime, way too much booze, the kind of ice you get at a soda fountain.
3) They are WAY overpriced, especially for Williamsburg. A glass of reisling should not cost me $14, especially if I trekked out here to have a cigar with it, and you tell me I can't.
Two positives: the atmosphere is pleasant with good lighting, music, etc. and I had a great port. If you come here to drink, stick with straight liquors like port or whiskey.
Edit - Delete
Perfect, cozy, relaxing – This place is perfect for killing a few hours, either with a significant other or with a big group of friends. They have their own brand of cigars (which are quite delicious- I'm not much of a smoker, so that's really saying something, haha), and a very wide selection of Ports, red and white wines, and Scotch whiskeys- a wide selection of everything, really. It looks pricey, but the prices are actually just right, and the quality is very high.
I highly recommend checking it out! Oh, and the bartender had also mentioned that they do private parties as well...perhaps something to think about!
AN ABSOLUTE MUST! – This place is so refreshing! I'm new to Brooklyn and I'm always trying to check out new hot spots in the neighborhood. As soon as me and my friends stepped into the Velvet Lounge, it felt like home. We were greeted by the sweetest bartender and the vibe was so warm and intimate. Make sure to have a hand rolled Dominican cigar in one hand and a signature tasty cocktail in the other, perfect for just kickin' back outside this summer. The Velvet Lounge is an absolute MUST!
The perfect place – Its the type of place you go after work if you want to clear your mind, sit back have glass of fine wine or maybe a cigar.
Its the type of place you go to with a couple of good friends just to talk and enjoy the atmosphere.
The type of place you go to after a date, or to meet someone for the first time.
The owner is usually there to insure your happiness, the bartenders are cuties with good conversation and you'll find live entertainment i.e poetry readings, a band and or an up and coming singer/songwriter.
Its classy and comfortable...its the perfect place.
Hands down best cigar bar – Incredible cigars, classy ambience, fine selection of beer, and the cutest bartenders in Brooklyn... what more can you ask? But, seriously this is a cigar smoker's paradise.
A Special Spot – This is the sister lounge to the much-loved east village Velvet Cigars location. Larger and slightly more upscale than its precursor, this Velvet opened adjacent to Peter Luger's in spring of 2006, and is just what the area needed. A classy yet relaxed lounge, it is the perfect place to become a regular or just to visit after a date in one of the highly celebrated nearby restaurants. The smoking of cigars certainly is permitted, but thanks to the impressive ventillation system, the smoke is not oppressive; you can rest assured that non-smokers will be just as comfortable as those who do choose to enjoy a cigar. A lovely staff will assist in pairing one of the high quality cigars with a glass of wine, beer or port, and then it's up to you to relax and chat with your party or simply watch the game on the lounge's flat screen television. Regardless, you can be sure to love this truly unique and pleasurable spot!
A Rare Treat – Whether you're looking for a place to unwind at the end of a hectic work day, a place to catch up with friends, or a romantic way to end your date, Velvet is the way to go. Indulge yourself with all this lounge has to offer: great Dominican cigars, a unique beer selection, a more than adequate port list, a tasty wine selection, and of course a friendly and knowledgeable staff (that's also ever so easy on the eyes). Beautifully decorated and wonderfully serene, Velvet successfully recreates the atmosphere of the greatly missed old New York, and, really, who could ask for anything more?
A beacon of cigars and sophistication in South Williamsburg. – In Short
The sweet smell of cigar smoke lures patrons down a desolate industrial stretch and into a sophisticated change of scenery. Amid deep burgundy hues, exposed brick walls and dark wood cases, gentlemanly aficionados and novices alike burn down the lounge's own line of hand-rolled and aged cigars, which are prominently displayed around the bar. Between conversations from plush velvet sofas and barstools, clients can also quaff bottled beers, wines and vintage ports.
Great Cigar Lounge – More spacious than their East Village location so you get a different feel. (It's also right next to Peter Luger so you can always go to both places for dinner and post-dinner relaxation.) This is the place to go if you like cigars and want to sit back, unwind, and let time pass you by. Hours can go unnoticed here with the great valued and incredible tasting hand-rolled Dominican cigars, and maybe an espresso or a glass of vintage port to go with it. It isn't a bar, so don't expect an "anything goes" type of environment, but rather, expect a mellow and sophisticated environment that anyone can learn to love.

Daily 24 Hours
Proud of their Hotel! – I must say that the employees of this Days Inn Blue Springs, MO were very proud of their Hotel. I know that this might sound like an odd comment in this day and age but it's a true compliment to them. We were greeted very nicely, check - in was efficient, the lobby was clean as a whip and our suite was perfect! The room was quite modern and the beds comfortable with great amenities like Flat TV, iron/ironing board, Air-conditioning, Refrigerator and microwave; Bath amenities include hair dryer, makeup/shaving mirror, and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast options were fairly extensive, and though we didn't get a chance to use the indoor pool, it looked nice as well. The front desk called our room to inquire if we needed anything the first morning there. These employees were well dressed, very professional, seemed to take their job seriously and showed true concern for their guests. We had a perfect stay. Thank you Days Inn Blue Springs, MO!
Great Stay – I had a great stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. And the location was nice as well. The price for the room was very reasonable which also made my stay a lot better. I highly recommend the Days Inn Blue Springs if you're stopping by in the area.
Top Notch – Here are words you don't often hear about Inns in other cities: friendly staff, spacious rooms, reasonable price.
Splendid Stay – My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Days Inn Blue Springs. We actually talked about having family trips and having this place be one of our places to go for vacation. I really liked the location and how wonderful the common grounds were kept up. I really loved how adequate and delightful the rooms were. Thank you for a splendid stay, we'll be back!
One of the Best – My stay at Days Inn Blue Springs has been one of the best. The room was very comfortable and clean which I really appreciated - Lord knows I needed a good nights rest; which I got at this hotel. I wouldn't mind staying there again. If you're in the area, I recommend staying at that Days Inn.
Much Appreciation – Really appreciated the recliner that you put in the room for me. Also, we much appreciated your dining area, so we could meet our relatives. Very accommodating, and very friendly. Clean rooms, and facility. I recommend staying at the Days Inn Blue Springs.
Great Stay – I went to go visit my family out in Missouri, and I stayed at the Days Inn Blue Springs, by far the best place I've stayed at in the area. Very comfortable rooms. Very courteous employees. Made my stay a great stay. I know where I'll sleep next time I go visit my family again.
Excellent accommodations, trustworthy, and professional staff. Front desk staff go above and beyond. Building is in good shape, clean. Allowing pets is a big plus. Absolutely no complaints - excellent facility. Grounds well kept and neat. Nice plants and flowers, inside and out! Staff are courteous and have good ability to put customers first while adhering to policies.
Customer Satisfaction – I've stayed at Days Inn Blue Springs many times, and I will continue to stay at this Days Inn, because they continuously provide the best comfort - through customer service, through the rooms (clean, comfy, convenient), and through the all around great care they provide by up keeping the grounds and the rooms, and assuring customer satisfaction. There was one time where the front desk clerk was kind of moody, but we all have those days, and we just have to take that into consideration, and not take it so personal. He was still able to help me, but just took a bit longer than usual, and wasn't with the courteous smile I'm used to. But like I said, don't take it personal, we all have those days. Still the best hotel I've stayed at, and I've stayed in many!

Malicoat Finishes Career 11th in NCAA History in Digs
Related Links
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Former Valparaiso volleyball standout Brittany Malicoat (Elkhart, Ind./Memorial) closed out her stellar Crusader career ranked 11th in NCAA history in career digs, according to the organization's 2009 Volleyball Records Book released this week.
Malicoat closed out her four-year Crusader career with 2,309 digs, over 400 more than anybody else in Valpo history and just outside the NCAA's all-time top-10. In addition, she finished her career with an average of 5.25 digs/set, also good for 11th in NCAA history. Malicoat's placements are even more impressive considering the switch to 25-point sets last season, while eight of the ten ahead of her in total digs and nine of the ten ahead of her in digs/set had the benefit of playing to 30 points through their entire career.
Elsewhere in the latest version of the records book, Valparaiso is officially recognized as the national statistical champion for the 2008 season in both kills/set (15.32/set) and assists/set (14.26), outpacing national champion Penn State in both categories. In addition, head coach Carin Avery enters the 2009 campaign ranked 19th among active Division I head coaches with a .725 career winning percentage.

Service Engagement Grants
Service Engagement Grants (SE)
The Service Engagement Grant program supports student, professional staff, or faculty projects that establish service engagement as a core component. Service Engagement Grant projects should support reciprocal partnerships between institutions of higher education and the community, strengthen student learning, increase the institutionalization of service-based engaged learning, and enhance the development of students, professional staff, and faculty.
Projects must focus on one of three following areas:
- The Scholarship of Engagement (SOE) – for service learning course development, service learning research, or professional service with a local community agency.
- Student Community Service (SCS) – for individual student or student group projects with the community, such as plunge experiences or national Days of Service events (ex: 9/11, MLK Day, Cesar Chavez Day, Earth Day).
- Listening to Communities Meetings (LTC) – for campus and community dialogues to develop implementation strategies for an engaged campus and community through reciprocal and sustainable partnerships.

There is a fairly direct relationship between temperature and offense. Batting average, runs, home runs, even BABiP all increase as temperatures rise, while strikeouts decrease. Walks actually decrease in warm weather, in stubborn defiance of an orderly universe, but let's ignore that for now.
What happens to offense over the course of a season, when you control for temperature? Max Marchi has the answer (Baseball Prospectus subscription required), and it's pretty stunning:
Read the whole thing, as they say. I'm not sure what the implications of this research are, beyond improving our understanding of a complicated game, but that's for the Andrew Friedmans and Theo Epsteins to figure out.

I don't know how to respond to this assertion. "Yeah, I'm seven months pregnant – I'm actually supposed to be this size," doesn't seem to be the reply they're looking for. I realize they're simply stating the obvious – and it's not like they're commenting on the 20 pounds I had gained during my freshman year of college or anything – but rather the undeniable fact that I'm carrying around a little person that will make his or her world debut pretty soon. And so my belly sticks out from my frame like a beacon, luring conversation in the wake of its wide berth.
With my belly as big as it is, drawing attention wherever it goes, those who know me best have also been requesting specifics about how this child will, ultimately, meet the greater realm existing beyond its currently sheltered belly abode. So I've been using a lot of abbreviations in my speech these days. VBAC and C-section, to be specific.
Elle was stubborn in the womb, insisting upon doing the opposite of what she was supposed to (not unlike her two-year-old self) by settling into an upright, toes-touching-nose pose worthy of yogic acclaim in the weeks leading up to her birth. Generally speaking, babies are no longer delivered vaginally in any other position but head-down, so Elle's butt-down presentation won me a trip to the operating table for a planned cesarean birth. I was surprised (as was the attending surgeon) when she ended up coming out head-first anyway, after some covert late-game acrobatics… but that's another story.
And so, the second time around, the big question posed to me is; "Will you have another cesarean?"
Decades ago, I may not have had an option in this matter. "Once a cesarean, always a cesarean," as the saying went – referring to the medical policy that dictated women who had already had a cesarean would automatically have another one for the birth of their next child. The belief is that a C-section scar creates a weak uterine wall, putting a woman at risk of a ruptured uterus during a subsequent vaginal birth. Fortunately, the status quo has changed, giving women more of a choice in deciding their baby's mode of delivery – via scheduled cesarean surgery or left to the more elusive whims of nature through a VBAC, or vaginal birth after cesarean.
While the "once a cesarean, always a cesarean" tenet no longer holds true in all cases, women who have had a cesarean are still drastically limited in their birth choices compared to women who haven't.
According to a survey released by the International Cesarean Awareness Network, as of January 2009 a total of 821 hospitals had formally banned VBACs, compared to the 300 hospitals nationwide that had VBAC bans in 2004. This drastic increase in VBAC bans has been linked to the 1999 American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommendation that effectively restricted VBACs to "institutions equipped to respond to emergencies with physicians immediately available to provide emergency care."
It seems like a sound recommendation meant to protect the health and welfare of women and their babies. Yet what it has ultimately led to is a marked increase in C-sections, spurred by a decrease in VBAC coverage by insurance companies coupled with a fear of litigation within the nation's hospitals.
Regionally, Grand Junction's St. Mary's Hospital is the only hospital in which a woman is invited to try for a VBAC. Yet a woman who wants to try for a VBAC at St. Mary's still doesn't have the green light: Her health insurance company must also give her the go-ahead.
My midwife explained to me that the new recommendations have meant that an OBGYN must be in the hospital during the entire labor of a woman trying for a VBAC. Normally, OBGYNs are on-call and not stationed in the hospital every hour of the day and night (although they are within minutes of attending to an emergency, my midwife explained). This seemingly minor staffing detail has complicated the VBAC process significantly, ultimately driving many hospitals and insurance companies to prohibit VBACs altogether.
Thus, VBAC rates have plummeted in recent years, from 28 percent in 1996 to a mere 8 percent in 2005. This trend is occurring despite evidence showing that between 60 and 82 percent of women who have the opportunity to try for a VBAC have successful vaginal births.
This decrease in VBACs relates directly to the overall increase in C-section rates around the world. Cesarean section is the most commonly performed medical procedure in the U.S. In 2007, for the 11th year in a row, the rate of C-sections increased – despite research that has shown that C-sections often carry as much risk to mother and child as vaginal births. You stand more than a 30 percent chance of having a cesarean today, whereas in 1970 your chances of delivering via C-section were just over 5 percent.
When I was pregnant with Elle, two of my three girlfriends who were also pregnant at the time wound up having cesareans. Now the three of us are pregnant for a second time, and we are each navigating the VBAC quandary.
Luckily, my hospital and my insurance carrier haven't banned VBACs; so when asked about whether another cesarean is in my future, the belly and I answer; "Hopefully not." There is no question that a C-section can, when performed for reasons beyond insurance industry politics or exaggerated litigation concerns, provide the best and safest means of bringing a baby into the world. But the high rate at which doctors are willing to resort to the scalpel are, in my opinion, grossly out of whack with what is truly best for moms and their babies. So, hopefully this giant belly will be able to avoid the operating table this time around.

Highly disappointing dining experience! – When we arrived at the restaurant, a former employee was outside passing out fliers stating that the owner of Flavor of India had not paid him $1500 in wages. You would have thought that would have been a good clue of the type of establishment it was, but I thought I would still give it a try. The wait staff were not friendly or prompt, depite only having only two other couples in the restaurant. They gave my mom the wrong order, and were very slow and onery to get her correct order. If that wasn't bad enough, they wanted to charge us again for rice. I had to explain to them several times that we wouldn't have had to order more rice if they had gotten the order right. Finally, they begrudgingly agreeing to take the extra rice off our bill. Beyond all this, the food was mediocre and very over priced for what you got. I would strongly recommend finding some other place to eat! It was very unpleasant!
Never again! – This was the worst Indian food that I have ever eaten. My friend and I both ordered the chicken tikka masala, and not only was the sauce barely orange in color, it was also incredibly soupy and seriously lacked flavor. I will never eat there again.
Horrible bufet, average A la carte – I had been to this restaurant one time before, and it wasn't great but worth coming back, the buffet was one of the worst buffet I've experienced so far. It was mediocre, it seem just lazily cooked and watered down to the point that it made my wife feel sick.
If you must eat here stay away from the buffet.
Good place – The buffet is not extraordinary, but set amongst the mediocre and less-than-mediocre Indian buffets in the city, this is one of the better ones. The food is not cooked into an unrecognizable mush, and is quite tasty. The friendly waitstaff is happy to oblige quickly with information about the food and service.
User review by butterflydreaming – I have had several excellent experiences here. The restaurant is quiet and peaceful, softly lit, and the music played enhances the ambiance. I and my friends have been very pleased with the attentive service. Dining in both big and small groups, we have been welcomed and treated with gracious hospitality. The food may come out slowly, but I have found this to be common among Indian restaurants at dinner time, since all of the food is cooked to order, slowly in the tandoori oven.
The food is very good, whether mild or spicy, vegetarian or meat. The Golden Temple biryani is the best version of this rice dish that I have had in Seattle. The lassi drinks have a nice balance of rose water to the other flavors. I recommend saving room for dessert; the gulab jamun -- cake-like spheres soaked in a sweet, spiced syrup -- are delicious.
Poor food and service – We were the only ones there. It took forever to get menus, we were going to leave, but decided to stay. Wish we'd left. The service was slow, the Matter Paneer was very very bland. Seriously, the rice was crunchy like it had dried out. The naan and samosas were good. I was really disappointed.
Worst Service I have ever experienced – The menu had all the obvious selections and the prices seemed fair. Finally were able to order after waiting about 10mins with no water. We then waited literally 25mins for our food to arive but still no drinks. No standard "how is everything", no water refills. Portions were extremely small for the price and I have had better aloo gohbi at much lower prices at Tandoor in the U District and Taste of India on Roosevelt. I decided not to wait another 25mins to get our check and went to the cashier to pay and explained the situation and their only excuse was that we should have ordered the buffett. The food was average - incense burning was overpowering. The cashier at least offered to give us the drinks we had ordered but only if we paid for them.

Been here several times – I wouldn't say this place is special. They do a decent job on almost everything they make- but they will cheat you if you aren't careful on the portions..and when you order a container that is supposed to have 4 servings of a salad in it- and they fluff the salads up so much that when you get home the container is a little more then half full...you get resentful at having shelled out 16 bucks for something like that. I wouldn't normally say anything(read my other reviews and you'll see) but this has happened to me MORE than once or twice. There are other places that also do a good job on this sort of food- and THEY won't try any shenanigans to cheat you. Try Sinbads in San Mateo! Better atmosphere and equal food with an honest proprietor who is generous with his portions for the money.
Good Lunch Place – I am a regular there. The food tastes consistently good and the people are friendly. It is a great place if you need a quick lunch, but still want something healthy. They have a good selection of menu items like shawerma, falafel, shish kabab, salads (tabbouli, hummus, baba ghanouj etc.) plus the menu of the day.
DRY!!! – This food is dry! like eating cardboard! had it a couple of times but its not just good at all

After reading all the previous reviews I was ready and prepared to work an average of 2 hours on setting this lighting fixture up but no, it took me all of 30 minutes because of all your comments. I knew what to expect. This is one of the most beautiful items I have purchased online! It is hanging in my dining room and it was just hung today. I have had folks drive by my house and knock on my door and ask about it. I really don't want to tell them where I got it because I don't want everyone to have it because it is special :-) It is so beautiful in my room. I wish we can share pictures of all of our room transformations! Thank you O!
Love this chandelier's style! I placed two above my kitchen island and I get so many compliments. I would not rely on this chandelier to function as my kitchen's primary light source. It casts a beautiful spectrum of shadows onto the wall, which is not exactly ideal for workspace lighting...but I wanted my chandeliers to be statement pieces and they are. (We also replaced regular bulbs with fluorescent and that helped eliminate the shadowing effect, per my husband's request.) The "crystals" were not difficult to attach, tedious, but not difficult and certainly worth every minute :) Love, love, love these lights!
The chandelier looks beautiful hanging in my dining room. I love the light reflection it gives on the ceiling. It's very romantic. :-) It did take me about 45 minutes to put all the crystals together but it's not difficult at all, it's just a time consuming task because there's so many of them but that's why it looks beautiful. I have received so many compliments. Overall we are very pleased with the purchase. It arrived in less time than expected too! Thank you Overstock.
I'm remodeling a 100 year old home, and this was the perfect chandelier for this home. It hangs in my studio, and it is the first thing you see when you come through the door. Absolutely beautiful. I did have to put the crystals together, but it was simple and did not take long. Love this chandelier.
Chrome Finish 4-light Round Chandelier: I'm am not someone who writes reviews, as a matter of fact, this is my first review ever. This chandelier is beautiful and modern without the crystals hung; and after crystals are on, it is mind blowing. Wow! Wow! Wow! I was truly speachless. Anyone who purchases this will be > 110% satisfied. I'm am in love :)
Love my Chrome finish Chandelier, looks beatiful in my living room. Came assembled, so the installation process was really fast. Received a lot of compliments.
Overall beautiful for the price! The metal definitely feels thinner but ok! It took a while to assemble the crystals. Hopefully it won't be to hard to keep clean and sparkling! ? I have it over our dinning room table, love it!
I absolutely love this chandelier. Purchased to hang in my master bathroom over claw foot tub and it is absolutely perfect. I actually had a dimmer installed so I can adjust the light to go with my mood. I love the shimmer of light on the walls. Highly recommend. I cannot comment on installing as my contractor installed.
Let me start by saying this was my first time ever ordering from overstock.com and I was very pleased! This was the exact accessory my husband and I needed to complete the look of our bedroom. It is so elegant and sparkly! My mother manages an extremely high end furniture store and even she was extremely impressed with this product! It does NOT look cheap. The quality is excellent, ordering this product was a breeze, shipped quickly, and was packaged perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend this chandelier. It made my bedroom become my new favorite room in the house. I look forward to ordering from overstock.com again very soon!
The chandelier is bigger than what I expected! it is beautiful! arrived within days!

Budget beautistas, gather round! It's understood that even when you're trying to be frugal with your funds, looking good is not to be sacrificed. So we've scoured our makeup bags, bathrooms, and even our kitchens to find you the most innovative beauty tricks so you can keep your money in your pocket.
1. Highlight at Home
For pretty, subtle highlights, use a highlighting cap, which comfortably self-seals around the base of the scalp and comes with a rounded steel tool to pull strands to be lightened through the pinholes. This gives you control over how many (or few) hairs you highlight.
2. Buy Time for Your New Hue
A lot of women spend major cash getting their roots touched up once a month, but the Clairol Root Touch-Up Kit can achieve the needed in-between visit results in the (inexpensive) comfort of your own home. In just seconds you can mix the formula, apply, wait 10 minutes, rinse, dry, and reschedule your salon appointment for three weeks later than usual.
3. Combine to Save
Are you one of those people that has several bottles of half-full conditioner in your shower? There's nothing wrong with these formulas per se, but none of them qualify for the 'good to the last drop' category? Instead of tossing them in the garbage, squeeze all of the conditioners into one big bottle to create a 'superconditioner.'
4. Pay for Polish Changes Only
If you're squeamish about having someone push back your cuticles or cutting your nails too short, try giving yourself an at-home manicure with this all-inclusive kit from Kiss. Skip buying your own bottles of expensive nail lacquers and head to the salon for just a polish change - most charge under $10 to swap your color.
5. Conserve Your Product
Natalie DeStefano, makeup artist at the Rita Hazan Salon in NYC, recommends wetting your makeup sponge slightly before you dip it into your foundation. The dampness will cause the sponge to absorb less product, thus leaving more in the bottle.
6. Cut Your Own Bangs
Some salons charge $5 or less for a bang trim, but you can try to trim them at home if you're feeling daring. "For a blunt line, use straight shears," says Donna Zawislak, stylist and field education leader for Hair Cuttery.
7. Divide and Conquer
"I use Neutrogena makeup remover pads to remove my eye makeup at night. I cut them in half and keep them in a plastic bag, as half of one is plenty," says celebrity makeup artist Susan Posnick, who's worked with Cindy Crawford and Diane Lane. "I also find they are perfect when I am just too tired to do my usual night routine, like when I am traveling for personal appearances."
8. Pamper Parched Strands
Instead of shelling out $40 or $50 for a salon hair mask to rejuvenate dry hair, try an at-home avocado mask. All you'll need is a fully ripened avocado mixed in with one egg yolk and a teaspoon of olive oil. After stirring well, apply the mixture to your hair in sections and leave on for 30 minutes or so. Afterward, your hair will feel luscious and healthy.
9. Preserve Your Hair Color
Extend your hair color and keep it looking healthy and vibrant with this great tip from The Office star Angela Kinsey: "To make my hair color last longer, I wash my hair every other day. On the weekends I give it a break from heat styling and just put it in a ponytail. Once a month I use this deep conditioner. I apply it in the morning, slip on a shower cap, then do the laundry."
10. Run Damage Control on Your Blemishes
"If you feel a big blemish coming on, take an aspirin and make a paste of it with water," says Kinsey. "Apply it to the pimple before you go to bed and the next day the swelling will be gone."
11. Various Uses for Vaseline
Vaseline is another one of those mega-multiuse beauty tools. Use it as a lip balm, to soften heels, or as a makeup remover.
12. Big Beauty Bang for Your Buck
Eyes Lips Face (e.l.f.) may be one of our favorite brands for beauty on a budget. This palette comes with 48 eye shadow shades (yes 48!), a built-in mirror, and 1 dual-ended applicator, all for a price that is so good, it'll make you blush.
13. Make Your Own Extensions
No special hairdressing or sewing skills required for this one! All you need is a pack of wig clips, needle and thread, and packages of wefted human hair. "Many human-hair clip-ins will cost you more than $250," says Daneen Baird, editor in chief of SpoiledPretty.com. "But if you've got some time, you can make them yourself for $50-$75."
14. E.V.O.O. Everywhere
"Olive oil is actually my favorite beauty secret," says Real Beauty director Deanne Hess. "It's great for taking off makeup, calming frizzies in the summer, and moisturizing your skin. I keep a bottle in both my kitchen and bathroom."
15. Midday Oil Slick Fix
"I tend to always have a tissue toilet seat cover in my bag," says Hess. "You can rip off pieces and use them as blotting papers. The brown napkins from Starbucks work well too."
16. Squeeze More Swipes
Get a few more uses out of an almost-gone mascara by standing it in a glass of warm water or heating it up with a hair dryer.
17. Save Your Mascara Wand
Wash it thoroughly and use it to tame unruly eyebrow hairs or to separate and de-clump lashes. Oftentimes, great mascara application comes from the brush. If you aren't too keen on a newly purchased formula, use the wand from your tried-and-true to see if it makes a difference.
18. Make Your Own Exfoliating Body Scrub
Combine 1 cup coarse sea salt with 1/2 cup baby oil. Stir the ingredients together in a bowl and put into a screw-top jar. Leave for 24 hours, then stir the mixture and apply to any areas of the body you wish to smooth out. Massage into the skin for a few minutes, then shower off and pat your skin dry. (Makes multiple applications.)
19. Deodorize Your Kicks
Stinky soles can ruin a good pair of shoes, not to mention smell up a room whenever you kick them off. To get rid of odors, sprinkle some baking soda in your shoes and vacuum up before you slip your feet into them.
20. Use Coffee Grounds on Cellulite
Mix dry grounds with your body lotion and rub into your problem areas. This stimulates circulation, making it easier for trapped fat to surface and be broken down. Plus, the caffeine tightens skin. Leave this coffee-lotion combo on your skin for about 30 minutes, then wash off.

Results 1-2of 2 Reviews

We have never been to a game reserve not worth a visit; some are worth more than others. The best:
[1] The Ngorongoro Crater, an extinct volcano crater 12 miles across, home to the greatest concentration of big game on the planet. The crater's steep walls, rising 2,000 feet, benefit the animal population by providing security, no outlet for migration, and a good year-round water supply. Ngorongoro is in Tanzania, not far from Kenya's Masai Mara, so it is an easy addition to a safari leaving from Nairobi. Ngorongoro is the place not to miss.
[2] Masai Mara, the northern extension of the Serengeti Plains, is the last place on that great range to dry up in summer. We saw lots of animals in mid-June in the Mara, but then, traveling south across the rest of the Serengeti in Tanzania, dried up grasses and less wildlife. Although we had technically missed the great wildebeest migration, we nevertheless passed columns of wildebeest stretching for miles across the Mara. Our guide assured us this was nothing compared to the main show. If you want to chance the Long Rains, put Serengeti at the top of the list.
[3] Lake Manyara, if the elephant population has recovered. The most popular part of the park is the thin forest at thenorth end of the lake, which was, when we were there, loaded with elephant. The lake is home to lots of shore birds. Lake Manyara is home of the famous tree-climbing lions, which require luck to see.[4] Tsavo's water holes assure a good parade of animals, even in the dry season. Tsavo East features lion and elephant. Tsavo West is home to Mizma Springs, where an underwater viewing room provides some sightings of fish, crocodiles, and hippos.
[5] Amboseli features large elephant herds with Mt. Kilimanjaro for the backdrop. The mountians attract rain, so the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro are more lush that the parks on the plains, making Amboseli a safe bet in the dry season.
[6] Tatia Hills, Salt Lick Lodge, which has a ground level viewing blind right at the edge of the water hole connected to the lodge by a tunnel. Here, we reached out the window and rubbed an elephant's knee. Well, actually, we pounded on it to see if we could get his attention. No dice. We were less noticeable than the bacteria on your fingers.We've also been to Taranjire, Asrusha, Aberdare, Mt. Meru, Samburu, Buffalo, Lake Nakuru, Lake Baringo, Lake Naivasha, Crescent Island, and Mt. Kenya. As I said, all worth a visit, but not quite as much as the first group. Mt. Kenya and Aberdare are forest parks, very different from the plains parks. The lakes can be most impressive if the flamingos are in residence. Crescent Island in Lake Naivasha is unique–I arrived by rowboat and walked among the animals. Watch your step–the ground is well fertilized by the grazers, and never get between a hippo and water.

National anthem tryouts at LSU (Video)
Singing in different keys, styles, tempos and tones, more than 100 brave vocalists sang the one and one-half octave "Star-Spangled Banner" in the hope of performing at any LSU sporting event except football for the next year, as the LSU School of Music and LSU Athletic Department hosted its Fourth annual National Anthem auditions Sunday. Those auditioning were judged on their power, pitch, timbre, stage presence and diction of the lyrics.
According to the Smithsonian Institute, it was first called "The Defence of Fort McHenry" and was written early on Sept. 14, 1814, by Georgetown lawyer Francis Scott Key when Key saw the American flag still flying over the Fort McHenry near Baltimore, Md.
"The published broadside included instructions," according to the Smithsonian, "that it be sung to the 18th-century British melody "Anacreon in Heaven" — a tune Key had in mind when he penned his poem. Copies of the song were distributed to every man at the fort and around Baltimore. The first documented public performance of the words and music together took place at the Holliday Street Theatre in Baltimore on Oct. 19, 1814. A music store subsequently published the words and music under the title "The Star-Spangled Banner." "
The original Star-Spangled Banner is on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

Per the Woodwind and Brasswind (presumably lifted from Yamaha literature). While the saxophone isn't addressed, the effect of plating on clarinet keys and posts didn't just nibble at the edges of a discernable difference, didn't merely add warmth to the tone, but actually made "a dramatic difference".
Boy have I (many of us) been wrong on this one.
Case closed, no further room for discussion. On to precious stone key touches...
Yamaha YCL-CSG Series Professional Bb Clarinet
What is HAMILTON PLATING?
Hamilton plating is an alloy of gold and nickel. It's extremely resistant to wear and discoloration, and delivers a powerful tone with excellent projection. On the CSGH instruments, the Hamilton Plating is actually not only on the keys, but on the posts as well. In artist testing, it was shown to be a dramatic difference between instruments that had just Hamilton plated keys and Hamilton plated keys and posts.

Just swapped emails w/2 directors in the top 5 picks & advisor of #1 pick candidate. All have no idea what the Astros will do. Crazy quiet.— Kiley McDaniel (@kileymcd) June 5, 2013
Just swapped emails w/2 directors in the top 5 picks & advisor of #1 pick candidate. All have no idea what the Astros will do. Crazy quiet.
So, yeah that hasn't changed and likely won't change. If not for the Astros having to give MLB (and thus the draft broadcast on MLB Network) a head's up on their pick 5-10 minutes early last year, no one in the industry (including the club picking second) knew who they were picking until it was announced. The Astros have been creepy quiet as is their club policy and there are still three possible #1 overall picks, but two seemed to have emerged as more likely than the third. Here are the possible scenarios and their ripples, which would appear to end at pick 7.
You'll notice the Marlins and Rockies get the same player in each of the projections while the two Appel/Gray scenarios are the same, except their names are flip-flopped. I'm not saying this is rocket science, these are just the three routes the top 7 picks look like they can go.
I will pick one of the routes below as my projection, so this isn't a total cop out. It's sounding like Jonathan Gray and Colin Moran are a coin flip right now from polling the industry. These sources are doing educated guesses, which is the best anyone outside the Astros room can do right now. Even the top seven picks in these three scenarios aren't set in stone as I'll detail below; I just think they are the most likely outcome right now in the given situations.

With so much uncertainty in the markets, there are plenty of good companies trading at attractive valuations, legendary hedge fund manager Julian Robertson, told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Tuesday.
"I think our economy and some of the things overseas are having a big effect on investors," Robertson said. "I think right now a lot of very good investors have become so frightened about what's going on in Europe and Asia and with QE1, QE2 and QE3, they've kind of lost their way and are not realizing that there are an awful lot of marvelous companies available at very reasonable prices."
Robertson points to Apple, which trades at 14 to 15 times next year's earnings, as a prime example. "Apple is a great value at these levels," the founder of Tiger Management said.

Robertson also said European budget airline Ryanair was a recent purchase as well as aerospace supplier Rolls-Royce.
In financials, Robertson owns Capital One Financial .
He also noted that steel companies like AK Steel and U.S. Steel are "ridiculously priced for anything except a real takeoff in the economy."
