Road to better health is in the lunch bag
|Mona Meighan, author of "What Are You Doing for Lunch?", hopes to inspire parents with healthy recipes for lunch that are tasty and easy to put together for their kids. (Chicago Tribune/MCT)
Many parents remain rather clueless when it comes to assembling a smart lunch to pack for their children, a meal that manages to be healthy, tasty, interesting and relatively easy to put together. Maybe it's because so many grown-ups flunk when it comes to brown-bagging it, dismissing the whole thing as a big bore.
Mona Meighan wants to change that. The Edmonds, Wash.-based educator is author of "What Are You Doing for Lunch?" (Book Publishers Network; $14.95), which is billed as "a friendly guide to brown bagging as a better way to lunch."
The book is loaded with recipes and tips parents can use to wean their children and themselves off "fast food lunches." The big take-away from the book, she said, is knowing which lunch style fits your child (and you) best and to plan lunch accordingly.
Meighan even identifies the Social Networker lunch style, which sounds a bit like a healthier and tastier version of the old schoolyard swap.

Six members of the Philadelphia Police Department have been temporarily removed from duty after an internal investigation.
The five police officers and a supervisor have been take off the streets temporarily after a complaint from a resident involving an operation they conducted earlier this week, FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson reported Friday afternoon.
The officers are with the 24th District and part of the Narcotics Enforcement Team. They handle street-level narcotics; they do not serve warrants.
Officials won't say what the officers are accused of.
Wilson asked about reports that the officers took things from a resident's home in Kensington.
Here's what Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel had to say: "There are some allegations. We're looking at that. I'm not at liberty to tell you what that is, again, for the integrity of the investigation. I'm not responsible for that, Internal Affairs is. But we're looking at all aspects of the operation. You know, there were arrests made prior to that, leading up to, and any other complaints that came as a result of that."
The department's Internal Affairs Bureau is leading the investigation.
The complaint was made by a person who lives at the home where the operation was conducted.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Information for Authors
The Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations is dedicated to the publication of high quality papers in the broad area of ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, and functional differential equations. If an author can see that her/his paper is clearly outside the areas of interest of any of the editors, then this journal is probably the wrong place for the paper.
By submitting a paper to this journal, the author certifies that the paper has not been previously published and is not being considered for publication elsewhere; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The author agrees that, if the paper is accepted for publication, he will transfer the copyright in it exclusively to EJQTDE, including the right of reproduction in all forms and media, and the right to include it in collections and databases. Research articles are refereed under the same standards as those used by any printed journals covered by the Mathematical Reviews and the Zentralblatt.
To guarantee the diversity of the topics in EJQTDE, in general, in any one calendar year, Editors will not consider more than two submissions and EJQTDE is unlikely to publish more than one paper by one person as author or co-author.
It is to be understood that once a paper is published, it can not be removed or corrected, although a correction can be published later in the journal and a notation made in the original article telling where a correction appears.
To submit a paper, the corresponding author should log in to our Editorial System, where a detailed description of the submission procedure is available, we mention here only the most important points. The paper must be formatted in any TeX version using 12 point characters, and it should be submitted preferably in PDF format. The paper should be directed to one of the Associate Editors whose research interest is closest to the topics of the paper to be submitted. In order to aid the handling of the paper, the author must also include an abstract in TeX format with a minimum of mathematical text in it (upon acceptance this will appear on the WWW page of this paper).
For the final version of the paper the author should format the paper so that in the footline you have the following text in at least 10 point characters right justified:
EJQTDE, <year> No. <number>, p. <page number>
where <year> is the publication year, <number> is the issue number in that year, and <page number> is the page number starting from 1 and increasing (upon acceptance, we will supply the publication year and number to the author). Also, on the headline of the first page should contain the following text right justified:
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations
<year>, No. <number>, 1 - <last page>; http://www.math.u-szeged.hu/ejqtde/
where <last page> is the number of pages in the paper. In plain TeX you can use the following text to do this (of course, the year and issue number and the last page should be replaced):
\vtop to 0 pt{\hbox{\sevenit Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations}

No. It is about language, terms and terminology, manifesting mere fabrication or not.
However if one assumes that mere fabrication is liberating then it may appear appropriate.
Kind regards
Your use of language has no less danger of manifesting "fabrications" than any other. Your theory of "correlates" does not save you from this.
Language necessarily implies fabrication. However within language there are terms that correspond to direct experience and there are terms that do not correspond at all.
(I thought for a change I apply the term "correspond" to counter your fixation on "correlate".)

MUSICAL EVENTS about music director Riccardo Muti and the Franck Symphony. The Chicago Symphony, under the direction of Riccardo Muti, opened the Carnegie Hall season with a formidably odd trio of concerts. Muti, now in his third season as the Chicago's music director, kicked things off with Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" and ended with Ottorino Respighi's "Feste Romane." At the heart of the series was César Franck's Symphony in D Minor, an apotheosis of post-Wagnerian Romanticism. This was only the fourth performance in Carnegie Hall since 1988. In short, Muti offered a kind of flashback to the programs of yesteryear. Right at the start, the Symphony in D Minor's fateful three-note motto has the action of a turning screw. There are episodes of fearsome beauty. Troubling inconsistences in the horn section aside, the Chicago remains a staggeringly virtuosic ensemble.

How Many Weeks of Unemployment Benefits?
While unemployment is an important national issue, the amount of benefits you can receive really depends on your state.
With the current tiers of extensions, 60 weeks is the minimum total number of weeks you can collect, while nearly half of all states grant up to 99 weeks of total benefits.
The graph below (compiled by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities) outlines the number of weeks available across the country. The information is current as of June 5th, 2011.
Note: The total number of weeks includes both EUC and EB. In Missouri, 99 weeks are available if you initially filed prior to April 13, 2011. For those who filed after this date, 76 weeks are available.
Future Extensions
As the law currently stands, unemployment extensions are available for Americans filing for benefits through the end of 2011. Last week, President Obama mentioned in a press conference that he may consider a further extension into 2012. This will require approval from Congress, and there should be news on this in coming weeks.

The Three Festivals -- Pesach, Shavuos and Succos -- are Moadim, they are the Divinely ordained encounters between the Creator and His people. And in the process of encountering his Maker, a Jew encounters himself. How much has he grown? Is he moving in the right direction? How can he improve?
For four generations, Sfas Emes has been described as a mirror of the soul. The work contains the Sabbath and Festival discourses of Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Alter of Gur, over a period of more than thirty years. Profound, scintillating, and pithy, it is incredibly rich in ideas. Great scholars marvel at it, saying that every time they review passages, even those they have seen many times before, they glean new insights. It has been aptly said that what one sees in the Sfas Emes is a measure of ones own spiritual station.
But...the world of the Sfas Emes has been closed to the vast majority of those who knock at its doors because of a language barrier and the need for a road map through its complex and inspiring themes.
Into this breach steps Rabbi Yosef Stern. His attempt to capture the essence of Sfas Emes thought on the Three Festivals is an act of great courage and a remarkable success. An exceptional Torah scholar and student of Sfas Emes, Rabbi Stern has isolated the primary trails of thought in many hundreds of discourses and ties them together, topic by topic, in essays that are a joy to read, stimulating as well as informative. While the conceptualizations are his own, Rabbi Sterns work has received the blessings of the Gerrer Rebbe ztl noteworthy indication of the esteem in which the author is held.
This work gives us a mirror by which to encounter ourselves. But it is more. It is an entry pass to the portals of some of the loftiest and most enlightening thought of the last century.
Spend the Moadim with Sfas Emes -- it will take you from where you are to where you want to be.

All-night party at Project Graduation
Collier County class of 2010 graduates
NAPLES — If a new high school graduate was at the YMCA of the Palms in Naples on Friday night and Saturday morning, their parents need not worry.
Their son or daughter was probably just riding a mechanical bull, pounding on a close friend with a jousting stick, downing his or her third Starbucks Frappuccino, shooting complete strangers with invisible laser beams or climbing a rock wall.
For 25 years "Project Graduation" has been offering a safe, fun and food-filled way for new graduates to party into the wee hours of the morning.
"It hasn't quite hit me yet that I'm not in high school anymore," said Jasmine Perryman, an 18-year-old Gulf Coast High School graduate whose birthday was Friday. "It kind of reminds me of how in 'Grease,' where they had the carnival for all the seniors, and this is kind of like that for us."
The overnight celebration provides a drug- and alcohol-free event for graduates from 10 Collier County public and private high schools. Since its inception, there has never been an alcohol- or drug-related death involving high school seniors on graduation night in Collier County.
"I'm really glad (that they have "Project Graduation") because it's better than going to a party and drinking and getting in a car accident or something," said Rolanda Tanis, 17-year-old Golden Gate High School graduate.
Sara Hardman, an 18-year-old Naples High School graduate, seconded Rolanda's opinion about "Project Graduation."
"All the kids are together, they can see their friends and there's no drinking," Hardman said. "The parents know their kids are safe."
In addition, Hardman was glad to be done with high school and is ready to move on to a new chapter in her life at the University of North Florida this fall.
"It's a big relief and a big weight off my shoulders," she said. "I can wait to get out of here, meet new people and start my life over again."
A group of concerned parents, educators, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Collier County Sheriff's Office, the Naples Police Department and the YMCA started "Project Graduation" in 1985. Event attendance has increased from 150 its initial year to roughly 1,000 this year.
"This is a great way to kick off the graduation festivities for the rest of the weekend," said Meagan Flodeen, an 18-year-old Barron Collier High School graduate. "I like that you get to see all your friends that you just graduated with altogether."
While jousting, Flodeen got whacked in the head with a jousting stick by her good friend, Kalei Rollins. "She beat me the first two times," Kalei said of her decision to pummel Flodeen during their third jousting match.
About 250 adult volunteers and 38 Collier County Sheriff's Office employees kept tabs on the graduates and helped make sure that the festivities ran like clockwork. The $20 "Project Graduation" tickets were sold at the schools leading up to June 4 to ensure that only graduating seniors attended the shindig.
The festivities kick off at 11 p.m., and the party winds down at 4 a.m. If a graduate wants to leave the event early, they have to call their parents to get consent. To give the graduates an incentive to stay until the very end, one graduate from each high school won the $1,000 grand prize during the "drawn at dawn" at around 3:45 a.m.
Other prizes included an iPod Nano, a dorm room refrigerator, laptop computers, printers, digital cameras and gas cards. Many of the roughly 300 prizes such as a toaster, cookware set, iron and handheld vacuum were geared toward survival away from home.
Many of the graduates took pictures in front of and touched a quickly melting ice sculpture that read "Class of 2010" stood in front of the all-you-can-eat buffet, which lasted until 3 a.m.
"This is my first time seeing an ice sculpture, so that's pretty cool," said Layla Asaad, a 17-year-old Lorenzo Walker High School graduate who stopped to take a picture in front of the sculpture.
The schools that participated in the event were Barron Collier High School, Community School of Naples, Everglades City School, First Baptist Academy, Golden Gate High School, Gulf Coast High School, Lely High School, Naples High School, Palmetto Ridge High School, Seacrest Country Day School, and St. John Neumann High School.
Several graduates such as Arielle Buchholz, who went to Barron Collier High School, loved the fact that there is one collective party for all the high schools in the county because otherwise they might not get the chance to celebrate with friends from other schools.
"When you have friends that go to different schools, you don't really get to see them that much when there are different things going on for each school, so having everyone together at an event life this, you get to see everyone," Buchholz said.

Bunhill Fields, London
"The Papists they cry, Conform.
And the Turk, he cries, Conform.
And did not the heathen Emperors cry, Conform?
And the Presbyterian, he cried, Conform.
And the Independents...
So everyone that gets the uppermost, and gets the staff of authority, commands...
But no law of Jesus requires it, who said, 'Freely you have received, freely give.'"
--George Fox, nonconformist and founder of the Quakers
Bunhill Fields is a peaceful oasis in the center of the London used by locals and tourists alike to relax and take a break from the bustling city.
It is also a site of great historical and religious significance: Bunhill Fields is unconsecrated ground that has been used for centuries as a burial place for Nonconformists, Dissenters, and other people who died outside of the Church of England.
Bunhill originates with the term "Bone Hill" and the area was associated with burials from Saxon times. In 1685, it was set apart as a common cemetery for the interment of bodies for which there wasn't room in their church cemeteries during the Plague.
However, Bunhill didn't end up being used for that purpose, so a Mr. Tindal leased it and converted it into a burial place for the use of dissenters. Later, it was used for any persons who practiced a religion outside of the Church of England.
The cemetery was used until 1855 for approximately 120,000 burials. It was taken over by the City of London in 1867 for use as a green space. Today, about half of Bunhill Fields is a park and the rest remains a fence-enclosed cemetery.
Bunhill Fields graveyard was damaged by German bombing during World War II but reconstructed in 1960.
What to See
Notable graves in Bunhill Fields include:
- William Blake (1757-1827), poet, and his wife Catherine (1762-1831)
- John Owen (1616-83), Congregational minister
- Susanna Wesley (1669-1742), mother of John and Charles Wesley
- Daniel Defoe (1661-1731), author of Robinson Crusoe
- John Bunyan (1628-1688), author of The Pilgrim's Progress - his elaborate tomb includes an effigy of Bunyan and bas-reliefs of scenes from his great allegory
- Isaac Watts (1674-1748), hymnwriter
- George Fox (1624-1691), founder of the Society of Friends (Quakers) - in the Quaker Gardens, next to the Bunhill Fields Meeting House
For the tomb, chapel and house of John Wesley, an especially famous nonconformist and founder of Methodism, cross the street to Wesley's Chapel. Legend has it that John aligned his chapel so that it would look straight to his beloved mother's grave.

- 21 health industry groups address FDA on proposed changes to generic drug label rules
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A standards-development organization for the pharmacy services industry has updated a white paper on protecting consumers and patients from accidental overdoses of the painkiller acetaminophen.
The NCPDP announced the updated white paper, "NCPDP Recommendations for Improved Prescription Container Labels for Medicines Containing Acetaminophen Version 1.1."
The NCPDP mobilized healthcare industry participants in 2011 to explore the issue of acetaminophen overdose, recommending that the industry implement measures to help patients avoid overdoses by enabling them to identify when their prescription medicines contain the drug, compare active ingredients on OTC and prescription drug labels and avoid the use of multiple medicines containing acetaminophen. Such pharmacy retailers as Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart and Target have implemented or committed to phased implementation of the NCPDP's recommendations to produce prescription labels with the complete spelling of acetaminophen and eliminate use of such abbreviations as "acet" and "APAP" while prioritizing the standard acetaminophen warning label in the top-three warnings for prescription medicines.
"Liver injury from acetaminophen overdose remains a serious public health problem," FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research director Janet Woodcock said. "NCPDP's leadership in working with the pharmacy system industry to develop and implement these voluntary standards continues to be an effective complement to FDA's regulatory and educational efforts to improve the safe use of acetaminophen-containing medicines."

Robert A. Heinzen, Ph.D.Rocky Mountain LaboratoriesBldg 6, Room 6210903 South 4th StreetHamilton, MT 59840-2932Phone: 406-375-9695Fax: firstname.lastname@example.com
Chief, Coxiella Pathogenesis Section, LICP
We are investigating the host-pathogen relationship of Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of a disabling flu-like illness called Q fever. Coxiella has historically been considered an obligate intracellular bacterium and is a recognized category B biothreat. The organism targets mononuclear phagocytes where it directs biognesis of a lysosome-like parasitophorous vacuole (PV) for replication. The mature PV is highly fusogenic, encompasses nearly the entire host cell cytoplasm, and contains hundreds of organisms in the absence of obvious cytopathic effect. Coxiella's resistance to the harsh conditions of its PV also correlates with remarkable extracellular stability. Because PV biogenesis, host-cell maintenance, and generation of developmental forms adapted to intracellular replication and extracellular resistance are central to Coxiella pathogenesis, we are conducting studies to better understand the molecular and cellular biology of these processes. Moreover, we are investigating the extent and relevance of Coxiella strain diversity and developing genetic methods to dissect the virulence of this refractory pathogen.
Considerable genetic heterogeneity exists among Coxiella strains isolated from environmental sources and human acute or chronic disease patients. We conducted a comparative genomics study, using genome sequencing and high-density DNA arrays, to better understand the degree and significance of Coxiella genetic variation and to identify potential pathogenetic determinates of human disease potential. Genetic lesions associated with Coxiella LPS phase variation, the minimal plasmid content of the organism, mechanisms of genome plasticity, and possible pathogenetic determinants of virulence were revealed by this work. The former obligate intracellular nature of C. burnetii significantly impeded development of genetic tools to characterize suspected virulence genes. Metabolic pathway reconstructions based on genome data helped us define a medium that supports robust host cell-free (axenic) growth of C. burnetii under microaerobic conditions. Axenic growth of the organism has enabled our development of shuttle vector, transposon, inducible gene expression, and targeted gene inactivation technologies that are now allowing fulfillment of molecular Koch's postulates for suspected C. burnetii virulence genes.
Coxiella has the extraordinary ability to replicate within a PV with lysosomal characteristics. Our results indicate that Coxiella proteins remodel the vacuole to make it amenable for growth and also exert a potent pro-survival effect that sustains the host cell. Using contemporary cell biology techniques, we are characterizing the Coxiella PV to define both bacterial and host factors that mediate its formation. Moreover, using new genetic tools we are characterizing proteins that are secreted into the host cytosol by a specialized Dot/Icm type IVB secretion system. Functional characterization of these effector proteins and their cellular targets will provide important insight into Coxiella virulence mechanisms.
We have described a Coxiella biphasic developmental cycle wherein environmentally resistant, non-replicative small cell variants (SCV) morphologically differentiate into environmentally fragile, replicative large cell variants (LCV). The programmed gene expression driving Coxiella development is unknown. Furthermore, how the pathogen responds to hostile elements of its lysosome-like PV is a mystery. To gain insight into morphological differentiation and intracellular survival, transcriptome analyses are being performed on Coxiella replicating in macrophages and within axenic medium. Genes suspected of promoting development and/or resistance are being inactivated and mutant strains phenotyped. These studies complement previous proteome analyses and may identify cell form-specific antigens that provide the basis of rationally designed subunit vaccines and new diagnostics.

PURCHASE TICKETS: http://www.tierce.eventbrite.com
The highly anticipated launch of the 2011 Tierce Dry Riesling is here! The celebration will highlight three cool-climate vineyards, three winemakers and one remarkable wine. Tierce Dry Riesling represents a collaboration between Anthony Road Wine Company , Fox Run Vineyards and Red Newt Cellars – integrating not only the varying vineyard expressions of Seneca Lake, but also the individual philosophies of the winemakers.
Peter Bell (Fox Run), Johannes Reinhardt (Anthony Road) and David Whiting (Red Newt) have peered through the prism of cool-climate terroir to produce Tierce. Drawing from three distinct winegrowing subregions of Seneca Lake, this Riesling offers complexities and nuances that set it apart from all others – making it uniquely Finger Lakes.
Mingle with the "Tierce Brothers" and enjoy three unique tasting courses throughout the evening. Guests will be welcomed with the 2010 Tierce that was served at the Presidental Inaugural Luncheon in Washington D.C. in January. The Official Welcome will start at 7:15PM
with an interesting tasting of the separate 2011 Tierce Dry Riesling
varietal components. Only then will the 2011 Tierce be poured. The event
will have the 2011 Tierce available for purchase and time for the three
winemakers to autograph bottles.
Each tasting is being paired with a wonderful selection of passed hors d'oeuvres by Chef Samantha Buyskes. There will also be an "FLX Board" of local cheeses, charcuterie, and seasonal accompaniments as well as housemade cookies and coffee. The event emcee is Evan Dawson, author of Summer in a Glass: The Coming of Age of Winemaking in the Finger Lakes. Autographed copies of his book will be available for purchase.

MENU: Passed Hors D'Oeuvres
Zucchini, Feta & Mint Fritter topped with Crème Fraîche
Mini Pork Pie topped with Fruit Chutney
Mini Corn Tortilla topped with Black Bean Spread, Fresh Salsa, Buffalo Yogurt and Cilantro
Chilled Yogurt, Almond Soup topped with Chives and Green Grapes
Grilled Flatbread Pizza topped with Roasted Summer Vegetables, Goat Cheese and "50 Brix" Reduction
Tierce Dry Riesling represents a unique collaborative effort of Anthony Road Wine Company, Fox Run Vineyards and Red Newt Wine Cellars.. This wine pulls together not only the unique vineyard expressions of Seneca Lake, but also the individual philosophies of the participating winemakers.
Three vineyards, three winemakers, one wine. "Tierce". Peter Bell (Fox Run), Johannes Reinhardt (Anthony Road) and DavidWhiting (Red Newt) have peered through the mystique of terroir to produce "Tierce". An expression of the synergy of three distinctive winegrowing subregions of Seneca Lake, this Riesling is lean and focused, offering complexities and nuances that set it apart from all others and make it uniquely Finger Lakes. Each contributed Riesling components to make a blend that wine historian and reviewer Paul Lukacs has described as "enthralling" and "simply fantastic."
Peter, Johannes and Dave not only decided what blend to create, they also chose to seal the bottle with a screw cap because this type of closure works well for wines with delicate aromas, such as a Riesling. Fox Run winemaker, Peter Bell, noted that, Screw caps with Riesling wines are quite clearly the way of the future. Corks, natural or synthetic, have a tendency to affect the wine's aroma.

Wellgo MG-52 Platform Pedals
The Wellgo MG-52 takes a truly classic pedal design and gives it a significant weight reduction thanks to its magnesium construction. Eight replaceable pins on each side of the pedal ensure excellent grip on even the hairiest terrain. The spindles are constructed from CNC machined Cro-Mo and roll on sealed bearings for a smooth ride with maximum durability.
These are great pedals. They're so much better than the ones that came on my bike. I only wish that some of the screws were a little longer...they seemed a little short. But for the price...you can't beat them!

In the spring of 2009 Skånes Auction House changed ownership and is today consisting of a dual ownership between the Real Estate Agent Dag Magnusson, owner of Skånegårdar AB and the Landskrona Profile Tord Olsson, owner of Parajett / Jomato AB. Pia Staël von Holstein, who is a recognised specilist valuer of the Southern Swedish Chamber of Commerce and with solid experience of the auction industry was appointed as the CEO. The change of ownership contributed to the change of the company name from Anders Antik to Skånes Auktionsverk.
The auction house is run by a young and knit team of employees who are known for their solid knowledge of art and antiques as well as their skills of the Auction House business. We offer four different types of auctions; Quality Auctions, in which we convey objects of high quality cultural and historical value. Monthly Auctions, which offer mediations of both entire home as well as single objects. Special Auctions, where we focus on entire collections. Estate Auctions, which include furniture as well as farm and forestry vehicles.
Located in the middle of the fast-growing Öresund region with 3.5 million inhabitants our aim is to become the leading Auction House in southern Sweden. With the easy access to the rest of Europe, it also provides excellent opportunities for further expansion of our international trade. Our aim includes not only to convey and sell the objects but also to convey joy and knowledge of them and by this expand the interest of art and antiques. Auction is also a great way to reuse items in an environment-friendly manner. By auction bargains of all kinds, we can basically replace everything in our home, sell objects that no longer fit and buy something fun or more historically interesting as the better fit.

It looks as if this "A burrito is not a sandwich" decision hit Panera Bread company pretty hard today, and they are scrambling for answers. I received this in my inbox this morning, but I wouldn't swear to it's validity (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
To: Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Locke
From: The Legal Brain Trust of the Panera Bread Co. bakery-and-cafe chain
Your Honor,
Thank you for your recent decision regarding the question of whether the burrito is a sandwich. While we don't agree with your interpretation, we will abide by it.
Meanwhile, we have other lawsuits in the works, as we wish to prevent any competition with other restaurants within a 1/2 mile of any of our locations. As such, we were hoping to get your legal council on whether our actions against the restaurants below have any merit.
- The Athenian Cafe: The gyros they serve – are they sandwiches, or Greek burritos?
- The Jade Dragon: Point of contention – Spring rolls and Hum Bows.
- Lenny's Bagels: While Lenny only serves bagels and cream cheese, we think that the potenitiality of sandwiches based off of the boiled-then-baked bun is enough to cause us financial harm.
- The International House of Pancakes: Their Pigs in a Blanket (sausage links in a rolled pancake) screams 'sandwich'.
- Fontana's Pizzeria: Not only for their calzones, but also because their customers have been spotted folding their slices in the middle of the crust, giving a sandwich-like experience.
- Lobardi's Italian Cuisine: What is lasagna but an Italian version of a club sandwich, with pasta (which is boiled slices of bread) in place of toast.
- Rothchild's: They serve Turkey with stuffing, and what is that if not an 'inverted sandwhich'?
- Lastly…any place that sells pie.
Your response on the above questions would be greatly appreciated.
The Greedy Bastards at Panera Bread.

Officials at Excela Health and the U.S. Attorney in Pittsburgh announced the payment by its Greensburg hospital on Thursday.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ( http://bit.ly/UJWBn1) reported the payment and had reported in 2011 that the hospital determined 192 heart patients may have received stents that weren't medically necessary since 2009. The stents may have been used when arteries weren't blocked enough to require it.
Class-action lawsuits are pending against the hospital and two heart doctors who resigned their hospital privileges over the issue. The doctors, in turn, have sued Excela Health and other related parties for defamation.
The hospital, formerly known as Westmoreland Hospital, is about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Neighborhoods: Northwest, Northwest Virginia Beach
good for hair not for feet – The staff is courteous and friendly. That is good. The haircut was good. That was great. The pedicure was lacking. It was soak, clip, polish and be gone. No relaxing massage for my feet or legs. The massage is the reason I go for a pedicure. I can do my own polish. For $35 you would expect a first class pedicure. It was not that and that is too bad.
Skilled stylists but overpriced and unprofessional – I believe that you get what you pay for so when a friend recomended Dupres to me I made an appointment right away.
My appointment was for a simple cut. Although I was booked at 5:00 I wasn't brought in until 5:45. This would have been fine but I needed to pick up my daughter at day care by 6:00 or I get charged extra. Luckily I was able to make arrangements with my oldest daughter to pick her up. I didn't want to leave and risk them charging my card for a missed appointment if I could help it.
The stylist was friendly enough, and I completely expect most salons to be a bit gossipy, but my chair was near a back room where stylists were talking. They left the door open and I distinctly heard them refer to a client as a b*tch, as well as use the f word several times and the c word. This was the place I had considered bringing my oldest for her prom, but after listening to that, I will try elsewhere for my cuts and colors.
I left a message for management to call me but didn't go into detail. It has been a week with no call back so I'm just letting it go and on the look out for stylists who can manage to watch their mouth during work hours.
Wonderful cut & color and microderm/facials! – Short Version: Wonderful services! I've had quite a few microderms as well as my cut & color. No complaints at all!
I moved to the area and wanted to get microderm. They are one of the few places that offers it. Helena does a great job at assessing your skin's needs and the microderm also includes a wonderful facial & upper shoulder massage which always makes me fall asIeep! I buy packages of 3 at a discount and have been quite a few times. My skin looks healthier than ever and I don't have to wear foundation to even it out anymore!
After seeing Helena a couple of times I inquired about a cut and possibly color. Right away they had me sit down with Rachel for a consultation and she understood exactly what I was looking for. I had my natural color and didn't want drastic, unnatural highlights. The next day I had an appointment with her and she gave me the BEST highlights and cut ever! Absolutely perfect! I'm very critical when it comes to my hair, the last cut I had nearly put me in tears. Not only did she do a fantastic job, she also showed me a few techniques when styling it that have made a huge difference.
Don't listen to the negative reviews, I've never had a bad experience with this place!
Amazing Colorist and Stylist – I went to Carrie for four years for my coloring and styling. She is amazingly talented. I never once left with something I did not like! I am sad that I had to move out of the area and can no longer go to her. I also received a few manicures and pedicures and eyebrow waxing from the spa as well and was always very pleased. I highly recommend this salon and spa!
The Worst Experience Ever!!!!!! – The staff at Dupre's is very talented, but like another reviewer stated- great talent does not compensate for poor customer service.
I was only in for highlights and a style, and it took them 5hrs. before I left the salon! Not only was my four year year old daughter with me, but also a friend! It was terrible! Not only was the service overpriced, but there was also little consideration taken for my feelings of extreme frustration.
Although I love my color and cut, I will definitely not be going back!!!!
The best hidden secret in Virginia Beach – I have been to Dupre's a few times. The staff is very warm and welcoming. I have had nothing but the best expierences. I have had my hair cut and colored in the salon with no problems. They even fixed problems from my old hairstylist. Sumi is the best for anything facial. She has done a beautiful job on getting my skin correct for my upcoming wedding. I would highly recommend Sumi for any spa service. She did a wonderful job with my microdermabrasion and purity peel. She even recommended a facewash to help with my acne prone skin. (which has worked wonderfully) With people like Sumi and the front desk staff, I will continue to go to this hidden gem at the beach.
Terrible Color!! – I was new to the area and my sister-in-law reccommended this salon to me. I went for highlights and a haircut. The color was terrible. Instead of using foils, they painted the color on my hair (with an actual paintbrush). I was told that this was the newest and best technique for color. It looked terrible. I had big stripes of color all over my head and the color was a terrible orange color. It was completely unnatural. It looked ridiculous. And the price was extremely high (even for the area). This place is overpriced for no reason. They clearly have no idea what they are doing. Go somewhere else!
Great Haircut – I had a haircut with Rachel H. She did a very nice job. Highly recommended. I will definitely go back.
BEST STYLIST EVER- Beautiful Salon – I tried the a new stylist last week and couldn't be more pleased. I have very difficult hair and no one has ever been able to figure out the best cut for me. I tried Dupre's Salon b/c I heard from a coworker that they were good. I guess my timing was right b/c I got to try a stylist that had only been working there for 3 days. His name is Matt and he has been doing hair for years in Richmond. Finally, some one that actually gets my hair problems. For the past week my hair has done exactly what it should and I love having good hair days everyday. I totally rec. this stylist to anyone with trouble hair. It is nice to be able to trust someone with real experience and knowledge. A true professional.
Super friendly! – Super friendly people work there! I had a stupid hard day and had to get my color done and was not in the mood for anything. To be honest, I almost cancelled b/c I just wanted to go home. But, from the minute I walked in the door I was greeted BY NAME (I have been there a few times prior) and offered a drink, which I gladly accepted. Nothing wrong with a glass of wine. My stylist was Michele and she was super nice. It is refreshing to go somewhere nice and chill and walk out happy. And my hair looks hot. Thanks!
