The Lake & Stars
The high-end lingerie line Lake & Stars caters to sophisticated ladies who prefer darker hues and refined elegance to pastels and rosette overkill. Designed by Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman, the Lake & Stars' bras, panties, garters, jersey knit rompers, and slips feature unexpected details like luxe hardware and subtle keyhole cutouts. Color combos are strictly for grown-ups (sorbets and black, brights with nudes), and the cheeky design sensibility (the name comes from a Victorian euphemism for a woman's skills in the bedroom) is the perfect antidote for thong-flashing overload. Warning: lounging in these haute wisps may make you loathe to get dressed.

National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR)
NCUR is the largest national undergraduate research conference in the nation. Roanoke College will be taking a large group of students to present at NCUR this year. From the NCUR website:
"The National Conferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), established in 1987, is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum. Through this annual conference, NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education."
"Student presentations are welcome in all fields and disciplines from the creative and performing arts to biomedical, engineering, and social science research. The National Conferences on Undergraduate Research provides a wonderful opportunity for your students: (1) to meet peers and faculty from around the country working in similar research fields; (2) to learn about how research and scholarship is conducted in a wide range of fields from the humanities and creative arts to the life sciences and engineering; (3) to learn about graduate school and employment opportunities from our presenters; and (4) to develop presentation skills. All student abstracts and applications will be reviewed by a faculty committee from the host institution. Students presenting at the National Conference have the option of doing either an oral or poster presentation."

A Devotional Series by Charles H. Spurgeon
Sunday, March 03, 2013
"He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove." --Matthew 3:16
As the Spirit of God descended upon the Lord Jesus, the head, so he also, in measure, descends upon the members of the mystical body. His descent is to us after the same fashion as that in which it fell upon our Lord. There is often a singular rapidity about it; or ever we are aware, we are impelled onward and heavenward beyond all expectation. Yet is there none of the hurry of earthly haste, for the wings of the dove are as soft as they are swift. Quietness seems essential to many spiritual operations; the Lord is in the still small voice, and like the dew, his grace is distilled in silence. The dove has ever been the chosen type of purity, and the Holy Spirit is holiness itself. Where he cometh, everything that is pure and lovely, and of good report, is made to abound, and sin and uncleanness depart. Peace reigns also where the Holy Dove comes with power; he bears the olive branch which shows that the waters of divine wrath are assuaged. Gentleness is a sure result of the Sacred Dove's transforming power: hearts touched by his benign influence are meek and lowly henceforth and for ever. Harmlessness follows, as a matter of course; eagles and ravens may hunt their prey--the turtledove can endure wrong, but cannot inflict it. We must be harmless as doves. The dove is an apt picture of love, the voice of the turtle is full of affection; and so, the soul visited by the blessed Spirit, abounds in love to God, in love to the brethren, and in love to sinners; and above all, in love to Jesus. The brooding of the Spirit of God upon the face of the deep, first produced order and life, and in our hearts, he causes and fosters new life and light. Blessed Spirit, as thou didst rest upon our dear Redeemer, even so rest upon us from this time forward and for ever.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These invitations are gorgeous! I was looking for an elegant wedding invitation which embodied the Vintage Romance theme that I was shooting for. I went to a few local shops and was told that the style I was looking for would cost me between $9-$12 an invite... which was just not going to happen. After a lot of frustration I found Wedding Paper Divas site and loved every sample that I ordered from them (at reasonable prices to boot!). When it came down to ordering the invite this one fit the bill beautifully. It was simple yet had a unique design and looks amazing on the black pocket folds that I ordered."
"Excellent quality...Received many compliments on the design. I am extremely happy with this product and I highly recommend it! ...Also, the design on the back is well worth the few extra bucks."
"These were slightly smaller than I imaged but I went with the harder card stock and I am so happy that I did. I love the double sided design. Very chic. They were a little rough on the top where they were cut. The cutting was not as polished as I had hoped...but over-all very very beautiful!!! I will order this type of invite again!"
"This card first caught my eye because grey was one of my wedding colors. I loved this design because it was simple and elegant. I also loved that the inside contains a picture of your choice. We had a destination wedding at Lake Crescent in Washington and I thought a picture of the lake would be beautiful and enticing to our guests. The invitation looked and felt high quality. And surprising to me, the picture came out very well for how much color it contained and how detailed of a photograph it was! This invitation was very different from any I have ever recieved. Everyone loved them!"
"We love our invitations!!! We are having a fall themed wedding with an emphasis on plum. We asked for plum writing and they also changed some of the leaves to match!"

Medication-assisted therapy has helped millions of people take steps to rebuild their lives.
— Mark
There were moments of embarrassment and shame. How'd I get like this? Why am I like this? Why can't I stop on my own? Do I need help? And it's a whole mixed bag of emotions.
SUBOXONE® (buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual Film (CIII) is a prescription medicine used for maintenance treatment of opioid dependence as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and behavioral therapy.
Do not take SUBOXONE® (buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual Film (CIII) if you are allergic to buprenorphine or naloxone as serious negative effects, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported.
SUBOXONE Sublingual Film can be abused in a manner similar to other opioids, legal or illicit.
SUBOXONE Sublingual Film contains buprenorphine, an opioid that can cause physical dependence with chronic use. Physical dependence is not the same as addiction. Your doctor can tell you more about the difference between physical dependence and drug addiction. Do not stop taking SUBOXONE Sublingual Film suddenly without talking to your doctor. You could become sick with uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms because your body has become used to this medicine.
SUBOXONE Sublingual Film can cause serious life-threatening breathing problems, overdose and death, particularly when taken by the intravenous (IV) route in combination with benzodiazepines or other medications that act on the nervous system (ie, sedatives, tranquilizers, or alcohol). It is extremely dangerous to take nonprescribed benzodiazepines or other medications that act on the nervous system while taking SUBOXONE Sublingual Film.
You should not drink alcohol while taking SUBOXONE, as this can lead to loss of consciousness or even death.
Death has been reported in those who are not opioid dependent.
Your doctor may monitor liver function before and during treatment.
Keep SUBOXONE Sublingual Film out of the sight and reach of children. Accidental or deliberate ingestion of SUBOXONE Sublingual Film by a child can cause severe breathing problems and death.
Do not take SUBOXONE Sublingual Film before the effects of other opioids (eg, heroin, hydrocodone, methadone, morphine, oxycodone) have subsided as you may experience withdrawal symptoms.
Injecting SUBOXONE may cause serious withdrawal symptoms such as pain, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, sleep problems, and cravings.
Before taking SUBOXONE, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE, alert your doctor immediately as there may be significant risks to you and your baby; your baby may have symptoms of withdrawal at birth. If you are pregnant or become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE, you should report it using the contact information provided below.*
Before taking SUBOXONE, talk to your doctor if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. SUBOXONE can pass into your milk and may harm the baby. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take SUBOXONE. Breast-feeding is not recommended while taking SUBOXONE.
Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or perform any other dangerous activities until you know how SUBOXONE affects you. Buprenorphine in SUBOXONE can cause drowsiness and slow reaction times during dose-adjustment periods.
Common side effects of SUBOXONE Sublingual Film include nausea, vomiting, drug withdrawal syndrome, headache, sweating, numb mouth, constipation, painful tongue, redness of the mouth, intoxication (feeling lightheaded or drunk), disturbance in attention, irregular heartbeat, decrease in sleep, blurred vision, back pain, fainting, dizziness, and sleepiness.
This is not a complete list of potential adverse events associated with SUBOXONE Sublingual Film. Please see full Product Information for a complete list.
*To report negative side effects associated with taking SUBOXONE Sublingual Film, please call 1-877-782-6966. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

. . . or it may be a wish for a different more nurturing partner than your H.
Or it may mean that you shouldn't have eaten that second helping of dessert last night.
Btw, if I did half the excercises you did when I got angry, I would be one superfit mama! Jeez BT..you make the rest of us look like slackers.
Fnf, I am going to humbly disagree with you my friend. There is NO way in hell that OW would serve a purpose, or be of any aid to a M!!
Have you read up on the Madonna/whore syndrome? I think maybe your H has that going on. I know my H did to some level. But it wasnt that he respected me too much..he just thought that I was too much of a prude/goodygoody to do "stuff".
Now he knows better.
Fnf, I am just asking here ok?
If you are worried that his desires might prove a problem oneday, is there a remote possibility that you might meet him halfway in bed? I mean not the stuff that totally offends you, but somewhere inbetween. Who knows..you might discover another side of you...and like it. I know I did.
And Fnf, you know that I say this with the utmost respect for you ok.
Fnf, I am going to humbly disagree with you my friend. There is NO way in hell that OW would serve a purpose, or be of any aid to a M!!
So what does H think of your worries? How does he reassure you?
Off course OW would have to be butt ugly for that stuff..its not like anyones going to look at her face right?!
In my case, I dont think H thought he was doing our M any kind of favour by going out. He was never in the M, so to speak, from day 1. He just took what he wanted from whoever, screw everyone else and the consequences.
And no, I am not being mean. He TOLD me this. At least he is honest about his motives.
[This message edited by Lost Heart at 12:30 PM, January 7th (Monday)]
It's always reassuring when our H's give us exactly what we need and don't get defensive.
Well said Fnf!
IM, hang in there. find ways to keep you busy. when H has to sleepover the first months after, I took a sleeping pill. It helped me. Also we would speak to each other just when we were both in bed, and then again in the morning when I would phone to wake him up. You are going to be just fine!
Those first business trips are so hard to handle, so keep leaning on us if you need to.
As far as the anger goes, what really helped me was uncoupling the emotion from the actions. IOW, allowing myself to feel angry without punishing my H or anyone else for the anger. When I started to feel that anger welling up I would walk outside and skip rope, or get in my car, ride down the street with the radio up and just yell, or just on the elliptical trainer or pray.
So did your anger ever well up in front of someone who is so tuned to your slightest change in posture, tone of voice, footsteps that you don't get a chance to get away? He seems to sense it before I even notice that I've changed my stance or facial expression.
I'm great at doing just what you said when alone and my bathroom is my usual target. If H comes home and sees a shining spigot, he knows I was on a rampage about something.
IM I'm glad you were able to "get" to him through your analogy. I tried that with my H and his reaction was one of complete and utter denseness...only I used the gym as my "scene of the crime". His response was "hell no it wouldn't bother me if you told me it was over, especially if he was dead, like S. I'd trust you." Yeah, sure you would. But there's loads more men there buddy. Clueless.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
I had a hard tiem last night. The last 2 days wh has called to say he is late. Now, he gets off t 11:30 pm. That was when he had the affair. Woudl say he was alwasy staying late to get stuff done at work and woudl show up at 1-1:30 am or later. When i was that late I woudl call adnget no answer until he was on his way home.
So the rule now is if he can not get there by midnight then he nees to call. It happened once adn then the past two daysit happened. Then when he called form work to say goodnight ot the kids he was on dnner break supposedly but was veyr short wiht me and had to g right away. So the combo just had me upset and I was shrt with him adn got off the phone quickly. I was also short when he called to say he woud be late.
BTW, the late was about 3-5 minutes after midnight. So not really lat, but trying to ease my worry when he knew he woudl not be early.
Well, big ole breakthrough. He actually asked me what was up when he got home. Why I hadbeen upset. He never did that before!! I explained adn he said he wanted to be with me and he was behaving adn there was nothing for me to worry about ever again. What I needed to hear! Maybe he's getting it!!
You all talke about porn once before. I put a keylogger on adn haven't found a thing. Except soem porn, which I think he has alwasy looked at, although sometimes more than others. Lately it's maybe 3 times a week for less than 10 minutes. Seem okay to you all? I think I am okay with it.
And as far as anal. That is an exit, not an entrance. I saw some sites with pics of that on teh keylogger and i he ever brings it up I will be sure to let hime know that rule!!
FNF Welcome home! Hope you had a good trip. Sorry you and LostH couldnt get together. We just love our LTA connections no matter who gets to participate!
It's called the functionalist theory. It goes something like this - Prostitution and extramarital A's provide a function in society to keep M together. That since some men have needs that their wives cannot fulfill, it is necessary for the sake of the M to go outside the M, thereby serving the function of keeping the M intact. Here's a direct quote (yes, I did pull that dusty book off my shelf) - beware - it is totally messed up. " . . . prostitution (I'm adding extramarital A's since IMO these OW do prostitute themselves) has important effects on the moral system, indeed, the activity actually strengthens that system . . . prostitution enables sexual gratification to be achieved in a variety of ways without placing excessive demands on wives and thus threatening the institution of the family.
LMAO!!! Im sure this functionalist theory was written by some fucktard group of academics all banging their little academic assistants! What a crock of shit! Yeah, they dont talk about the aftermath and fallout on the family unit OR the devastation and trauma of waking up one day realizing the guy youve been sleeping with and having children with for the past 150 years likes anal and screwing other women! What? If he liked barnyard animals does that count too? For Gods sake talk about coming up with a theory from your one brain to serve the other brain! HA! Sorry, I just had to go off on this one. Gotta love these theorists.
So heres my theory. We rid ourselves of a patriarchal society that makes whoring permissive and acceptable and we talk real about the domino effect on the family unit and society at large when women are predatory and men are spineless cowards and the whole world becomes a better place.
Im in a mood today! Can you tell? Most of the reason is that Ive been waiting for over two weeks for my PAP results (for you newbies my H and the diseased whore gave me the HPV virus resulting in surgery last May for precancerous cells in the cervix caused by HPV. I had an abnormal PAP on my 3 mo. follow up exam and then went back again two mos. later for another PAP) The lab messed up my cultures now and I have to go back for another PAP and cant get in until the 30th for another PAP! I guess its better than another abnormal but I think you all know how important it is to me to get this behind me! ARGH!
Welcome to any newbies I havent welcomed yet.
Hey! Seven, now six more posts to go and weve filled yet another thread!! Wow!
As far as the "functionalist theory" -- I would ask the author(s) of that crap to come walk in my shoes for a minute. Idiot(s).
Thanks for the kind words Lost Heart - yes, we are trying to work out date nights by swapping time with other couples - so no one has to pay a babysitter. But my reference to HB is actually for HO Bitch -- but for clarity's sake I will call that thing The HO Bitch aka THB. And let's not forget her moron attorney aka the Putz.
Have a good week everyone.
(((((((((LTA Tribe))))))))))
Ya'll know what it does to me when I don't get to jump in first.
If a man says something in the woods and there's not a woman there to hear it, is he still wrong?

About radix
Oops, left off my closing argument:
(May have to change view to 3 or 5 days to see the recent trend)
There is no spike in the price at the time of the tweet, and the only rise for the first part of the day was correcting for the previous day's downturn at the end. Once again, no story.
"Front-month Brent crude prices rallied from $110.40 a barrel at 10:20 a.m. EDT -- just before the Tweet -- to as high as $111.50 just after 11 a.m., as trading volumes rose. By 1 p.m. oil was up $2.68 a barrel to $111.74, its highest in a month."
If at one point was up 2.68 to 111.74, then it opened at 109.06. Further, if trading opens at 9am, then in the first hour - BEFORE THE TWEET - it was up 1.23%. In the hour after the tweet, it went up almost exactly 1%. In other words, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the tweet had any effect on the prices.
This seems like a 'blame the scary technology' article more than any real story.

Dwight meant it EXACTLY in the way it was heard and read. He's lying now in an attempt at damage control because he got fired right back on. Anybody with half a brain can see right through his make-up bulls#it excuse. He's as phony as his game is. Shouda kept Bynum. At least he's off the floor wasting time and money. Not much worse than being like Howard on the floor still a bum...A lying one, at that@ He knows, so does his teammates, and anybody else with good sense.
Dwight Howard clarifies Magic comments, meant no disrespect
Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard clarified comments he made earlier this week about his former Orlando Magic teammates, insisting he would "never say anything disrespectful to those guys and I think a lot of people took that and ran with it, twisted it into a negative thing."
The controversial comments, made to CBS affiliate KCAL, regard his old teammates and how the roster was "full of people who nobody wanted:"
"My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader, and I led that team with a smile on my face."
Howard clarified days later, after the Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets Wednesday night, that he simply meant Orlando was full of "underdogs" and that he never meant to offend anyone on that team:
"My statement was just to say that our team that I played with in Orlando, we were the underdogs. Nobody really talked about our team. It was underrated. Everybody overlooked us for the whole time I was there in Orlando and I hated that. We all hated that. We thrived off that. My comments were never to say anything disrespectful to those guys. Those were my teammates for years. They helped me become the player that I am today and we all got to the Finals because of that. I would never say anything disrespectful to those guys and I think a lot of people took that and ran with it, twisted it into a negative thing. I love those guys."
Those initial comments caught the attention of Magic point guard Jameer Nelson, who played with Howard when he was on the team. Nelson responded, saying in the Orlando Sentinel that Howard needs to be learn how to be a professional:
"At some point, when are you [Dwight] gonna as a man, when are you going to take ownership and stay out of the media in a professional manner?" [I] would be less of a man to comment on certain things that people comment on about me and my teammates."
There is no clarifying anything. I'm sick of hearing about this clown. Just like your unwanted ex teammates said man the f$&k up when you say something and don't play it off when the comments make their rounds to the public. If anything Stan and the other unwanted players made you look better than what you really have turned out to be you no jump shot having, non free throw shooting overrated diva. See you in Orlando on Wednesday, I'll be one of many Magic fans giving you the welcome you really deserve.

Obama Aide Stakes Out Budget Stance
November 5, 2013
The Wall Street Journal
Peter Nicholas and Damian Paletta
The president's top economic adviser said the White House wouldn't try to dictate the shape of a possible deal to avert a set of looming across-the-board spending cuts, but he advised against taking steps that cut the deficit too quickly and could imperil the recovery.
Jason Furman, chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, said the Obama administration would like to see the cuts known as the "sequester" replaced by eliminating tax loopholes along with other spending reductions.
Speaking Monday at a Wall Street Journal breakfast, Mr. Furman said that while the administration prefers tax increases as part of any deal, it is up to Democrats and Republicans in Congress to try and reach an agreement ahead of a deadline next month. "We don't want to sit here and both engage in hypotheticals and prejudge the work that they're doing.…People know where we're coming from," Mr. Furman said.
A 29-member budget conference committee is attempting to overcome differences in House and Senate budget resolutions that passed earlier this year. The House Republican budget would reduce the deficit by cutting spending. The Senate Democrats' budget would cut the deficit through a mix of tax revenue increases and spending cuts.
Lawmakers are trying to find common ground that would set budget levels for the rest of the fiscal year, which runs through Sept. 30, 2014. If they do so, it will be much easier for Congress to avoid another shutdown when a stopgap spending plan expires in mid-January.
Mr. Furman noted that the budget deficit has fallen substantially since the start of the president's first term and that faster reductions would be counterproductive. "We need more support for jobs," he said.
Last month, the administration said the deficit in fiscal year 2013 stood at $680 billion, or 4.1% of gross domestic product. By comparison, the deficit was 9.2% of GDP in 2009, according to administration figures. Even long-run deficits projected over the next 75 years are looking more favorable, Mr. Furman said, in part due to the passage of the president's health-care overhaul in 2010.
Some budget experts said the administration is painting too rosy a picture when it comes to the nation's long-term deficits. Republicans point to a Congressional Budget Office blog post in September that concluded, "The fundamental federal budgetary challenge has hardly been addressed: The largest federal programs are becoming much more expensive because of the retirement of the baby boomers and the rising costs of health care."
Rep. Scott Garrett (R., N.J.), a member of the House Budget Committee, said in an interview Monday that the "long-term [deficit] projections are still catastrophic."
The sequester began in March and will cut spending by close to $1 trillion in total through 2021. Military spending stands to take the biggest cut in the next year. The White House and Republicans have said they want to replace the sequester cuts with other budget changes, but they disagree on how to go about it.
While Mr. Furman signaled that the White House would let congressional budget negotiators do their work he also indicated that the administration wouldn't sign off on just any budget deal. He said the White House would prefer that any deal include new spending to help boost economic growth.
"You don't want to take the sequester and replace it with something that is just as bad or even worse," Mr. Furman said.
One budget watchdog group said the White House must show leadership in the budget talks by deploying the bully pulpit.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said in an interview Monday, "You can see that the White House is pulling back from playing a leadership role in getting something done on the budget. I think that's too bad."
Ms. MacGuineas, who attended the breakfast session, said "what they're doing is playing up the good news and trying to sweep the bad news under the rug for now.
"The problem is things like demographics aren't going to change. Many of our medium- and long-term problems aren't going to suddenly improve with economic growth, even."

Seattle >Food & Dining > Ram Restaurant
2650 Ne University Village St, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810547.664198 -122.297472
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Ravenna, Northeast Seattle
Great Sports Bar – I have been a frequent customer of the Ram for about 10 years. This is my neighborhood sports bar to watch big games and especially UW Husky games. The food is great and the staff is always friendly. I have tried many different items on the menu and all have been great. Good job to the entire Staff!!!
Great food and beer! – My experience at the Ram was pretty good. Me and a buddy of mine had dinner there and it had a really good atmosphere. We went during a UW home game, so we thought that we would have to wait a good 30 to 40 minutes to be seated, but even though the place was packed we got seated within 15 minutes. TV's everywhere made viewing of the game really easy. I forget my waitress' name, but she was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu items. I ordered the king crab artichoke dip for an appetizer, it was delicious! It probably isn't best for a healthy diet, but if you're looking to indulge on some good dip, that's one to get. I didn't see many super healthy options, other than the typical salads. But coming to a restaurant/ brewery, I assume most people wouldn't be looking for a very diet friendly meal, although the option would be nice. For dinner, I ordered the crab and shrimp cake sliders which were great! It was a good amount of food, and coupled with a side of soup, it was pretty filling. My buddy ordered the total disorder porter burger, which was a monstrous burger. I got to have a bite of it and it was really good. I got a milkshake, which was kind of mediocre. My friend got a beer that was pretty good, it tasted very fresh and nice of tap.
Overall, the atmosphere was great. It could use a wider variety in the food menu, but still good food and beer. The service was decent, not the best I've had but still made my dinner experience a positive one.
Nice atmosphere, horrible customer service – I went there for lunch on a Friday and the greeter was very unprofessional; look, attitude and conversation wise, called corporate and the general manager to that store called me back on a Monday and seemed very rude. They were asking about my complaint and 100% was for the employee instead of wanting to take the time to listen to my experience. I felt more attacked then listened to. Food was ok but over priced. I would not recommend it to anyone and I will not ever eat there again.
Average Food but Terrible Customer Service – The resturaurant looked nice but my experience quickly went downhill when it took 10 mins for a waiter to even notice that we had been sitting there. I had to get our own menus. My food didn't come as I ordered it. While we were sitting there I kept seeing other customers going up to the waiters and asking for things like refills and the check. The food was mediocre and I would never reccommend it to anyone.
Over priced for below average tasting food – I really do not see what the hoopla is all about regarding this chain of restaurants. The food is below mediocre for the price they charge. Their lunch menu on the weekends has prices starting at $8.99 and that's for an appetizer!! My daughter ordered a teriyaki chicken sandwich, which was overdone (hard and tough) and my clam chowder tasted straight from a can. If you are desperate or just have money to burn and want to patronize a noisy place with unexciting tasting food, try this chain. Personally, I refuse to be a lemming.
Good Beer! OK food and large crowds – Sign up on their web site for the MVP Club, and get a coupon for a free hamburger plus the usual birthday dessert deal. The Blonde is very tasty, but the Buttface Amber Ale is the winner. There is good beer on tap at The Ram. This place can get packed in both the family style dining area and the large bar section; so beat the crowds and get on the waiting list early. The hamburgers are the way to go. They aren?t fantastic, but they are pretty darn good after a few beers. It?s simply medium quality American style food in a casual setting with good beer. If you enjoy beer then you definitely want to give The Ram a try.
Good beer, overpriced food – Living close to U-Village, I have been to The Ram quite a few times. It has good beer and pretty good food, but the food is definitely overpriced. Another con is that it is pretty much always crowded. Their Thai Chicken salad is pretty good, but is also like $12 or $13.
Put you name in - then take care of your shopping – This is definitely a fun place to go when you feel like celebrating. The Ram is infamous for their Mile High Mud Pie and if someone in your party manages to eat the whole thing themselves it?s free! The atmosphere is especially exciting on Husky game nights and packed with UW students and alumni. The Ram doesn't take reservations though, so make sure and come early to put your name in.
Decent Beer, Terrible Food – Their food is WAY too expensive for the amount you recieve. We ordered the appetizer sampler (it sounded big on the menu) and it wasnt. The beer was pretty good, the mixed drinks I had were OK. Overall, there is much better in the UDistrict for brewery/restaurants. Have eaten here a few times, wasnt impressed either time.
Atmosphere – A good place to go for happy hour. Fun atmosphere, good deals. Also a great place to enjoy your favorite team.

Heroes come in all sizes and types, fully equipped to hammer out their contributions to history. None is from a common mold. Try for example, comparing Joe Bailey (of dam building fame on the Red River) and Davy Farragut (famous commander of the Union Fleet on the Mississippi River). All possess a common denominator, a measure of courage far more generous than that accorded the average man or woman. They tend to be innovative and they tend to be obsessed by a desire to succeed. They are sublimely confident of overcoming challenges considered overwhelming by the average person. A very special case in point was William Barker Cushing.
