401 N Front St, Columbus, OH | Directions 4321539.969750 -83.004640
Don't bother – Although the location is convenient, this place stinks foodwise. The servers were inexperienced and the food was average or below. I got a Katie Cashel(?) salad and the Rarebit appetizer. The rarebit cheese dip itself was okay, lacking in flavor, but it was served with dry toast...I mean like the stuff you have leftover from breakfast. The salad had a little too much brown lettuce in it for my liking and the chicken on it was DRY. Their bleu cheese dressing was actually runny, like they'd watered it down or something. The salad was mostly lettuce, not as much topping as you would expect for the price. Their prices were on the high side I thought I spent about $20 for my appetizer and salad. One of the waitresses spilled an entire glass of ice water on my girlfriend. The atmosphere was okay. There were 6 of us and we had to sit at a table that had 2 couches for seats. Not very good trying to pull a couch up to a table to eat dinner. That kind of thing would be great for a drinking lounge with a coffee table in front of it, but to eat on? I don't think so. Their menu was very small. Not a lot of choices.
best spot to grab a pint and a bite – O'Shaughnessy's has managed to achieve an environment where people in suits are as comfortable as those in jeans. I originally stopped in because of the great location and continue to go for the authentic and addictive comfort food, the salmon is wonderful too and a bit on the lighter side. Tons of great beers on draft, beautiful rich atmosphere, what more could a city dweller ask for?
Overall, it's great! – Hands down the BEST fish n chips in the city, even better than old bag o nails. Great place to be pre and post Blue Jacket games (should the NHL have a season...) Everything is authentically Irish and imported, it has a great laid-back, confident atmosphere. Staff is friendly with good service. There's nothing quite like a Guiness and a basket of fish n chips here... definitely a great place to be.
This beautiful Arena District pub and restaurant is as Irish as Paddy's pig. – The Scene
A hot spot for well-groomed singles to schmooze at after-work happy hours, O'Shaughnessy's is also packed on weekends, especially after Blue Jackets games. The pub is quietly gorgeous with stained-glass windows, gleaming woodwork, cozy padded booths, a fireplace and tables with low stools. The pub stands along Irish Broadway, the center of local Irish social life 100 years ago.
The Food
Enjoy traditional dishes like fish and chips, "beef and brew" soup and corned beef hash with eggs, potatoes and scallions. Don't miss Meghan's rarebit, a rich fondue made of Irish cheddar, Bass ale, spring onion and cream, and accompanied by toasted sourdough for dipping. Non-Irish favorites include the Cobb and Hawaiian seafood salads. Wash it all down with "O'Shaughnessy's Dam Good Beer," created by the Columbus Brewing Company.
Nice atmosphere...if you can stand the trendy crowd. As with a lot of the Arena District hot spots - this one is crowded with singles who appear to be much more concerened about looking good for each other than actually having a good time. If you can get past the crowd and actually get a seat in the restraurant - then the experience gets better. The decor is very authentic and supposedly has been shipped straight from Irealand. I had the "Dam good fish and chips" with a local CBC porter. The beer was excellent and the fish was pretty good, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Old Bag of Nails Fish and Chips.
Imported Fixtures? – First of all, this Pub attracts the typical Arena District crowd. A bunch of "trendy" people sipping Bud Lights and pretending they are in Ireland.
If you are coming here don't be a wuss, order a Guinness or the house Porter. The food was better than average but not really worth the high price. The fish-n-chips was pretty good but my Guinness BBQ Chicken was a little dry.
O'Shaughnessy's, like many other Irish pubs (Brazenhead) seem to think it is necessary to build the bar in Ireland and ship it over here, then pass the costs to the customers. I guess it is worth it for an authentic atmosphere.

A stylish, streetsmart, frighteningly probable parable of the future
A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D-and the biochip he's perfected-out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties-some of whom aren't remotely human.
"Potent and heady." —Philadelphia Daily News
"An intriguing cast of characters and a tough, glitzy image of computer consciousness and the future of mankind." —Richmond Times-Dispatch

"William Gibson's prose, astonishing in its clarity and skill, becomes high-tech electric poetry." —Bruce Sterling
"Suspense, action…a lively story…a sophisticated version of the sentient computer, a long way from the old models that were simply out to Rule the World." —Locus

Not your traditional quesadilla, these feature deli turkey and Cheddar cheese, along with onions quickly marinated in balsamic vinegar. Serve with sauteed vegetables or a tossed salad for a quick meal.
Here's an easy, new take on pizza: pita rounds that hold a fennel and chicken saute and that are then baked until the cheesy topping melts. Although great warm, they're just like pizza: a fabulous lunch out of the fridge the next day.
In this salad, saucy, lemony beans stand in for a warm dressing, coating the arugula and wilting it just a bit to mellow its naturally assertive character. Add a piece of warm crusty bread and a glass of crisp white wine to make this an excellent light supper.
Crisp pears are tossed with Cheddar cheese and pecans in this delicious salad. For an Italian twist, try a good Parmesan with some toasted pine nuts or to go British use crumbled Stilton and toasted walnuts.
A classic cassoulet takes two days to make and is larded with fat. This version keeps it simple with one skillet and a light touch. Serve with some crusty whole-grain rolls.
This is a traditional roast from the Italian province of Parma, often served for special family celebrations. ("Rosa di Parma" means it's stuffed with Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto.) Typically made with beef, it is equally delicious and more economical made with pork tenderloin and ideal for entertaining parties of 8 to 10. Seek out true Italian Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano-Reggiano for this dish—even though they are more costly, the superior flavor is worth the expense.
There are countless variations on this classic Irish potato-and-cabbage combination—ours is made with steamed red potatoes, sauteed cabbage and just a touch of butter.
Healthier bones mean healthier bodies, and keeping your bones healthy means calcium, calcium, calcium. It works this way: 99% of your calcium is stored in bones and teeth, the other 1% circulates in the body, helping important functions like muscle contractions and blood clotting. If your diet is low in calcium, your body draws the mineral from your bones, which, over time, can make them brittle. Our delicious recipes are carefully selected because they offer at least 15% of the recommended daily value for—you guessed it!—calcium.
Don't forget vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, and which comes from fortified dairy products, egg yolks, salmon, tuna and other foods. Research suggests that fruits and vegetables rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamin K may also be important for healthy bones. Weight-bearing exercise helps, as does keeping your sodium intake in check and maintaining a healthy weight. (It turns out you can be too thin; dipping into an "underweight" category disrupts hormones critical to bone health.) And here's a news flash: among the reasons smoking is bad for you, it reduces calcium absorption and bone mass.

OURAY – There will be a hot mess at O'Brien's Pub and Grill in Ouray this Sunday, Sept. 9 as a hot-wing eating contest benefiting the Ouray Mountain Rescue Team gets underway there at 6 p.m.
"It's a fun way for people to get together and benefit a local nonprofit...and watch other people go through a great deal of pain," explained contest co-sponsor Khris Dunham of Khristopher's Culinaire, a kitchen specialty store in Ouray.
The contest consists of three rounds in which contestants must eat a predetermined amount of hot wings within a certain period of time. The first to finish move on to the next round. In each round, the wing sauce gets progressively hotter. The first three to make it through their wings in the final round will be declared the winners.
Dunham, a trained chef, plans to make the wing sauces himself. The world's hottest pepper will be a featured ingredient in all three batches. Naga Jolokia, commonly known as ghost pepper, is native to India but now also cultivated in the United States.
In his store, Dunham carries a whole line of hot sauces that feature the evil little pepper.
"The first round will have an extremely hot wing sauce with extra Naga Jolokia added to it, which will make it uncomfortable," Dunham said. "The second round will have the very hot wing sauce, with a really hot hot sauce and pure Naga Jolokia powder. That cranks it up another notch. The third round has the really hot wing sauce, really hot hot sauce, hot sauce extract, Naga Jolokia powder and dried rehydrated Naga Jolokia pods."
Just how hot will that last sauce be?
"It's insane," Dunham shuddered. "It's awful. It's awful."
Dunham is speaking from experience. He got second place the first time O'Brien's held a hot- wing eating contest in 2010. Mark Hitchcox, a Ridgway realtor, came in third that year, and a ringer from Las Vegas stole the show.
"By the time you make it to the third round, you've got tears running down your face," Dunham recalled. "You're choking, because the fumes are going up your nose. It's hard to breathe. You almost have to hold your nose to eat them. It's idiotic, but it's a lot of fun."
Contest participants cannot have any health problems, and must sign a waiver to get into the contest. A paramedic will be standing by.
A few other rules: No drinking during the round. No wiping sauce off the wings. Contestants must eat at least 90 percent of each wing. Any visible signs of sickness will result in disqualification.
"Nobody got sick last time, at least at the contest," Dunham said. " I was good until about 2 a.m. Then things started to get a little rough."
To get in on the action, stop by O'Brien's Pub, where registration is currently underway. The contest is open to the first 20 people who sign up. There is a $10 registration fee, and participants must be 18 or older to enter. The top three winners will receive gift baskets filled with, among other things, a special edition Blueberry Naga Jolokia hot sauce from renowned Front Range hot sauce maker Danny Cash.

Jim Nicola Visits SUNY Fredonia
When RENT was developed at the New York Theatre Workshop, the Artistic Director of the theatre at that time was Jim Nicola. He remains the AD to this day, and he came to SUNY Fredonia at the behest of his Tufts College theatre department colleague Jefferson Westwood, who is the Director of the Rockefeller Arts Center. Mr. Nicola spoke to the students for about one hour, giving them some inside information about his relationship with Jonathan Larson, the backstage struggles that took place in producing the show, what took place and the decisions made immediately after Mr. Larson's untimely death, and the nature of running a theatre such as the NY Theatre Workshop. Mr. Nicola is seeing the Theatre and Dance production of the show on Firday 4/11 and will talk to the students again on Saturday 4/12 after seeing the production to discuss the current trends in musical theatre. We are most excited, honored and proud to have Mr. Nicola, who was there right at the beginning, see this production of RENT. Thanks to Jefferson Westwood for making this happen for our students.

RENT Sells Out!
The Theatre and Dance production of RENT has virtually sold out! The show has received very positive and appreciative feedback, and we are so glad our audiences are enjoying this production.
The following is a review of the show written by Dr. Robert Deemer, Associate Professor in the School of Music. It appeared in the Dunkirk Observer and is reprinted with the author's permission.
It is rare for a musical to win both a Tony Award for Best Musical as well as a Pulitzer Prize in Drama, but Rent, Jonathan Larson's modernized version of Puccini's opera La Boheme, won both prizes and has become a mainstay in the musical theatre canon. Rife with contemporary story lines and songs that are both memorable and insightful, the musical is an obvious choice for college-age performers and SUNY Fredonia's Department of Theatre & Dance has put together a high-quality production of Rent that features the singing and acting talents as well as the designing skills of their students and faculty.Set in the late 1980s or early 1990s, Rent follows the tragic and intertwining relationships between a group of eight friends living in New York City's East Village over the course of a year. While characters in La Boheme were afflicted with tuberculosis, one of the major diseases of the late 19th century, the characters in Rent face life suffering from or under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. Throughout the musical, the epidemic runs just under the surface of the story as the group of friends forge and destroy loves and friendships, all the while dealing with both poverty and the overhanded policies of what today would be termed the "1%".Many musicals allow the audience to latch onto one or two main characters and follow them through the story, but Rent presents a challenge to those presenting it by creating a vast interweaving story that necessitates a large and talented cast. Fredonia's students met that challenge head on and do a formidable job of bringing each character to life and making the audience believe in their relationships and their tragedies. Jordan Louis Fischer and Clayton Howe hold their own very well as Marc and Roger, the roommates that serve as the two primary characters throughout the show. Clayton had several standout songs in the show ("I Should Tell You" in particular) and Fischer continually steals the show with his quirky personality and spot-on camerawork. Roger's love interest, Mimi, is brought to life with a gymnastic flair by Ilana Lieberman - her writhing portrayal is electric throughout. Steven Saezler as Angel and Nakiya Peterkin as Joanne both grabbed my attention and didn't let go and Kadeem Davis (as Tom Collins) and Alex Grayson (Benjamin) were quite effective, but top kudos have to go to Jaclyn Rahmlow, whose performance as Maureen is downright amazing in its raw intensity.Rock musicals always bring certain challenges to a college production, both in sound reinforcement and in bringing a believable score to life stylistically without overpowering the singers and, for the most part, the production pulled these challenges off well. The house band, located on stage within the set itself, was ably directed by Raymond Stewart (who also played bass in the five-piece ensemble) and kept the energy hot from top to bottom. Sydney Thomas's choreography was effectively natural, as many of the dance pieces were blended into the entire show that you were never sure when the dances started and stopped - one notable exception was "Maureen's Tango", performed with fire by Fischer and Peterkin.The first thing that hits an audience member as they enter Marvel Theater is the massively intricate three-story set that covers the entire stage. Screens serve both as windows in the building where the musical is set but also as screens that project video being shot in real time by Fischer (a neat technical feat that adds a wonderful new dimension to the visual environment of the production. If that wasn't enough, halfway through the first act, the elevator that seemed to be just a piece of scenery suddenly began to transport characters. Lit well by Jacob Brinkman's lighting design, Hyla Sue Stellhorn's scenic design does as much as anything in the production to transport the audience to the East Village, which was fitting as this will be the last musical to have a large set for the next few years due to the upcoming renovations of Rockefeller Arts Center.Set for six performances, Rent promises to be a solid and enjoyable evening for anyone interested in contemporary musicals. The acting, singing, dancing, music, and sets combine for a visceral roller-coaster of an evening that will undoubtably move audiences in many ways and make one think as much as sing on the way home. The performances will be at 7:30 on April 4-5 and 10-12 and a 2pm matinee on April 6 with tickets being available at the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office and at the door.Rob DeemerAssociate Prof. of Music Composition
Another Week in TADA Land!
(But first, let us recap from pre-spring break)
—Dancers involved in Angelika Summerton's FDE piece as well as Sydney Thomas's senior recital traveled to Ohio the week before break to participate in the annual ACDFA Dance conference. They took classes, performed on the mainstage, and had a great time working with new teachers and choreographers. To read more about their adventures, check out #acdfa2014 #donutshirt on twitter!
Just finished my last class at ACDFA…finally felt like a confident dancer for the first time in over 2 years and it felt great #donutshirt Abby Donegan (@done_eegan) March 5, 2014
The best part of this Monday is that I get to take awesome dance classes all day. Next up: 1970s Broadway Jazz! #donutshirt #ACDFA Steve Russell (@UncleSteepen) March 3, 2014
—Audiences were thrilled to watch students from the Department of Theatre and Dance as well as the School of Music perform in Opera scenes at the Fredonia Opera House. Some of the backstage technicians were also students in the technical theatre program here at Fredonia!
—Students in the B.A. program must complete a capstone project of their own design when they become seniors. Many of these projects are underway! I will share two with you in this post. Jessica Ames now has a cast for her presentation of 6 All in the Timing one act plays by David Ives. Tom Sullivan will soon be auditioning for his production of Krapp's Last Tape, which he is excited to direct this spring.
—The Performing Arts Company's Comedy of Errors had their first full run through the day before break, and the cast is ready for the weather to warm up so they can bring this "Shakespeare-in-the-park" style show outdoors! The show goes up April 25th and 26th with tickets available in the SUNY Fredonia Central Ticket Office.
—Sophomore BFA students are beginning to prepare for their barrier performances in which they will be asked to sing, act, and dance for the entire TADA faculty. What an excellent opportunity to showcase all they have learned in their first 2 years at Fredonia. It also marks the halfway point in their college experience - time flies!
—Can you believe that production meetings are already underway for NEXT YEAR'S SEASON? It's true! A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Tom Loughlin, began meeting several weeks ago to begin conceptual conversations for what is sure to be a marvelous production.
—TADA students from the freshman through senior classes traveled to NYC and Boston this past weekend to attend Strawhat and NETC audition conferences in pursuit of summer and year-round theatre jobs. There were lots of callbacks and even some job offers, so stay tuned for more information once everyone begins making decisions about where they want to work!
—Film majors are hard at work on their capstone movies to be shown this spring. Many of our actors are involved in the projects and are exited to be working on the big screen, some for the first time.
—The Student Dance Organization is hosting a mock audition workshop for Cruise Line auditions this coming Friday. It should be a great experience - check out their page for details!
—Bob Rusch, a successful film actor from L.A. as well as the owner of SkyPilot Theatre is coming to Fredonia this weekend to give 3 workshops to students about Film Acting, Playwriting, and Managing a production company. Workshops are open to everyone, so come join us if you are in town!
—Finally, the most important news of the day, RENT!! Check out this article on the university's home page, and get your tickets ASAP! The actors, musicians, technicians, creative staff have all been working tremendously hard on this great musical and we would hat for you to miss out!
—As you can see there are many things happening around here, as always. If you don't already follow us on Twitter and Facebook as well you should start now for more frequent updates on our department and students!
Cristin Milioti's Advice to Aspiring Actors
by Shelby Converse
At the PaleyFest 2014, there was a How I Met Your Mother panel which interviewed the cast of HIMYM, including the uber-talented Cristin Milioti.
One of the questions asked was for advice on acting. Her marvelous co-star Alyson Hannigan offered up the suggestion "definitely get other hobbies." (and shared some of rejection stories – how could have anyone rejected Alyson Hannigan?!) but it was Cristin Milioti's advice that inspired this post:
"Don't go to theater school. Roll around in a dark room and pay someone 80K and BAM! You got a BFA."
Okay, I am actually getting a BA but I'm been rolling in the same dark room as my BFA classmates for the last four years so I'll take a stab at this one.
Yep, I actually paid that much for my degree. Or, I will have as I start paying it back later this year. And yep! I do spend a lot of my classes rolling around. I remember a day from sophomore year, when I actually rolled around in the dark and we called it an acting exercise.
So for this blog post, I pulled out my acting journal and I found what I had written about that day: from walking blind-folded across the studio "like a tightrope walker"; how we would touch each other to establish who and where they were. When we started establishing long-distance communication through clapping and finger-snapping and stomping until we had all found each other. I wrote about how we then partnered up and what it was like to be led blind-folded around the room. I wrote that I "couldn't help, but laugh" as I ran holding another leader's hands.
My notes from that day sound silly and even trivial. Just something fun. I mean, we were laughing and clapping our hands. But at the bottom of the page, I wrote down in quotation marks: "By being brave, we realize we are not alone."
These have been my favorite classes, the ones I spent rolling around, making friends with the floor and letting it catch me every time I fell down (a lot. I've fallen down a lot over the past four years). And the dark? I learned from being in the dark, like what to do when I can't see what to do; how to reach out and find others who are also in the dark and looking for someone to trust, and yes – I've learned how to be brave.
If I am going to graduate with a BA, I'm glad I got to learn how to roll around in the dark before I have to do it in the real world in two months. I have a feeling that real world floors are going to hurt a lot more to fall down on but this is where I start getting to be brave.
- Shelby
P. S. As Tom Loughlin informed me:
@ShelbyConverse "(Cristin) took acting classes at NYU, dropped out during her freshman year. Still listed as an alumna in Tisch's advertising."— Tom Loughlin (@apoorplayer)March 18, 2014

Roadwork continues on Gulf of Mexico Drive
Date: August 17, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The transformation of Gulf of Mexico Drive continues this week, with extended deceleration right-turn lanes being installed on the east side of Gulf of Mexico Drive at Bay Isles Parkway and Broadway.
Darren Alfonso, public information officer for the state's Gulf of Mexico Drive beautification project, said the right-turn lanes should be complete by the end of the week and will not affect traffic in either direction.
Meanwhile, the town of Longboat Key's hired asphalt contractor, Superior Asphalt Inc., is in the midst of repaving several town-owned side streets.
Gulfside Road, Bayview Drive, DeNarvaez Drive and Juan Anasco Drive are all being resurfaced — weather permitting.
Currently, the streets are being prepared by being swept and having the sod and soil at the edge of the pavement clipped back. Later this week, the streets will be tacked with liquid asphalt, and then the new asphalt will be placed before a final sweeping of the new road is performed.
Residents are urged to park on Gulf of Mexico Drive during the tacking period, to avoid collecting asphalt on car tires.
The streets can be used within one hour of paving completion.
For further information, contact the Public Works Department at 316-1988.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com.

While service can be a little shoddy, this is still a fun placed to have a drink on the quiet side of Silver Lake. Great outdoor seating and beautiful architecture.
Nice bar/restaurant in Silverlake. You can make a good bet on the food here. The Paneer Pasta is very good and so are the hibiscus margaritas.
It's Still OK – This used to be my favorite neighborhood bar, but now several of the good old bartenders have left, and they just raised their drink prices a full $2. I used to love coming here because it was such a good value, but I feel like it's inching up to Hollywood prices now. It's still chill in vibe though, which is nice. I like the patio seating and I always run into other Silver Lakers here. Fun photobooth in back too!
Wes Anderson is the best bartender on the east side. Great drinks and service every time.
Awful experience!!! – Sorry, the place looks nice, the food isn't terrible, but it's ridiculously overpriced and after two visits, we have had consistently bad service. To start, I NEVER tip less that 20%. It would take a terrible experience to make me tip less because I used to be a server. However, our server actually complained to us that we were making things harder for her because we needed help having her cash out our part of a larger check. We had asked for a separate ticket, but they have that unfriendly policy that does not allow such things because with tables of six or more they charge an automatic 30% gratuity. I'm a big tipper, but being forced to tip 30% when our idiot server insisted we have to figure out our own items of a huge $600 ticket, use our calculators to figure out the tax, then run tickets separately, with 8 people trying to do this it took 20 minutes just to figure out. She had to make 5 separate trips to run people's cards and then return with a new "updated" check. Letting us have our own check would have been 100 times easier, but she finally said, "well this is easier for us" showing that their fear that someone may not tip enough outweighs their desire to make sure their clients enjoy their dining experience. A terrible server made sure she got her undeserved tip, but I can say with certainty, I will never go back or recommend this over-rated snotty place to anyone.
its not like i remember it – don't mind spending money for a good meal, but what a waste of $100. mediocre food (altho the meatloaf was good) disinterested (and largely unavailable) service and the dining room smelled like cigarettes.... what's that about ? the menu was uninspired and uninteresting....not at all like i remember it from about a year ago or so.... the physical setting is great...but its not enough to get me back.
Horrible – This place is HORRIBLE. The crowd is loud and drunk, and the food is REALLY bad. My friend got sick from it. I do not recommend it at all.
A Big Disappointment – I want to love Edendale. I've been there at least a half a dozen times. It has a great vibe and SHOULD be a Silver Lake gem. Unfortunately, the food is average AT BEST, the service is mediocre, and it is way, way over priced.
The last time I was there--and I do mean last--I had a cocktail, ordered a Caesar with grilled shrimp and a glass of wine. The lettuce was bitter, there were maybe 3 medium sized shrimp, and the wine stunk. It would be almost ok if the bill didn't come to $42. Yes, $42. $12 for a glass of wine that tasted like it came from a $6 bottle, $6 for 3 grilled shrimp, and $12 - $14 for bitter lettuce. (The balance was for the drink.)
Now before you think "Ah, another long time Silver Lake Bohemian complaining about prices," I have no problem paying $42 for that amount of food if it's worth it. Even if some of that money goes towards maintaining the atmosphere. But in this case, about 95% of the bill went towards that atmosphere. Tough to swallow.
After I ate, I went through the menu. At the Edendale, in Silver Lake, they had a $32 steak on the menu. Fantastic! IF it tastes like a $32 steak. But considering the chef couldn't pick decent greens, I can't imagine the steak was going to be on par with one at , say, Maestros. (Only an unfair comparison if you're not charging close to Beverly Hills' prices.)
I really want this place to succeed. It could be a great neighborhood staple. In fact, I went to the manager the next day to let her know about my experience and told her how much I hope they turn things around. She was pleasant, took my number and, well, that was the last of it. Guess I care more about their business than they do. Hopefully the next owner will hire a decent chef.
Going back for more. – This place is a hidden gem. I live not too far away and a friend asked me to meet her there. "Mixville"? I was like, what kind of name is that? It sounded creepy but when I saw the place I was like "oh yeah, I get it." It's kind of a random place that's kind of cool. The "Mix" part has to do with an old movie star, not "drop your keys in the bowl at the end of the bar." (Though there's a pretty cute crowd...). We got there at 7 because we were meeting friends later. Well, of course, they called and we told them to meet us there, and four hours and some margaritas later, that's where we stayed. The crowd was pretty fluid and people were going outside to the back garden and using this old photobooth. The vaiet guys were super sweet, the bartenders were pros. Waitress hotties. The best thing by far -- the freakin' burgers. Sorry to have "food" outrank "people" but we were starving and they were GOOD. Going back.
Excellent locale & mood. – This is a great venue, and I always feel like I've arrived at a special place when I go there. I guess I've been lucky. The half dozen times I've eaten here I've had no problem. The food has always been great. My only complaint is that the menu seems to be limited. It used to have a broader set of choices, that have been slimmed down over time. I don't know why. The service was average, a little on the slow side, but not enough for it to be an issue. I usually ask the server what is good that evening and that may be why I've been spared the experiences that others have pointed out here. I had a mixed seafood dish that was outstanding, as recommended by our server. After dinner we went to the bar area, which is quite attractive, and enjoyed a couple of cocktails before we drew our evening to a close.
Cool place, not worth the abuse - Manager needs to go! – My boyfriend and I had 8:30 reservations here last night. The "hostess" (who we came to find was the manager playing hostess) told us to wait at the bar and that she would come get us. When the clock read 9:00, I went back to inquire about our table. After ignoring me for 5 minutes in favor of something on the computer screen, she finally asked how she could help me (um, I checked in with you 30 minutes ago) - she casually said, "Oh, your table is ready when you are." Confused, I told her she'd told us to wait at the bar and she cut me off: "Yeah, I was coming to get you right now." We brought over our wine bottle from the bar and had to wait for the table to be set (apparently it WASN'T ready). She didn't show concern that we were being seated 30 minutes late, nor did she take our wine to the table. Still, we wanted to enjoy dinner so we let it slide.
Our waiter was great, but overwhelmed. Our appetizer was lukewarm, and the entrees took 50 minutes. He was apologetic and we were patient, but 50 minutes is pushing it. When nicely asked him to see what he could do to make it right, and he got the manager to comp our appetizer ($9). We were not looking for a free meal - we wanted to see if they cared to make it better and give us reason to come back. Instead, the manager came over to ask if there was a problem. When we gave her the rundown of our night, she got defensive and said "I don't need you to tell me how to do my job. I suggest you take your business elsewhere." Oh, and she claimed the clock is 10 minutes ahead (so we were only sat 20 minutes late, not 30 - much better).
It's a shame - the food was good, the space is great, but the manager was awful. I would have preferred if she ignored us entirely than to come argue with us at our table - we had no intention of causing a fuss (just of not coming back).
Finally, they need to hire a REAL HOSTESS who knows how to acknowledge guests, seat people, honor reservations, and be polite!!
A wonderful dinner – I ate at this restaurant a few years ago and it was just OK. But my husband and I ate there recently and the food was fabulous. The service was also excellent. Nice adaptive reuse of the old firestation building, and a good vibe with the restaurant full of people. I was even tempted into a fancy martini and desser!
Love to hate it – This is one of my very favorite spots in LA. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, I love the tin ceiling and dark wood, and the crowd is so diverse and chill. The old school drink menu (think Manhattans and gimlets) makes you feel like you've arrived at a classy joint. As for the food- don't even get me started on the BLT Salad. Amazing. I could eat it every day. The only area where this place falls short is the bartenders. Holy attitudes. One was so busy (with a non crowded bar) that when we ordered a bottle of wine he slammed the glasses down, sloppily opened the bottle, and as an afterthought he filled each glass to the very top with wine and walked away. Another night the bartender threw my tab at me and said "I'm heading out, so I'm gonna close you out". This was hours before the bar closed, it was just the end of his shift! Asking if we wanted another round wouldn't have hurt his tip. As much as I love the atmosphere at this bar I could easily fall in love with another place that doesn't supply obnoxious bartenders with their booze.

Dates stick in my mind. Today is July 17th and my mother was buried on July 17, 1990. I couldn't let the day go by without just making mention of her, even though I posted her picture on my blog on July 14th, the 19th anniversary of her death.
I recently took a class on heirloom preservation from Laura Best at the Family History Expo in Loveland, Colorado. She advised us to remove any old photos that we had that had been mounted on black paper. You can see that the photo above was one such photo. I hesitate to remove it from the original album (tho I will) because my mother captioned her photos with a white ink pen. I loved her handwriting. My dad did too. And I love this picture of them. I think it's very romantic!

This is one in a suite of thirteen etchings entitled Blackness from Her Womb. The suite was produced in an edition of thirty of which the first twelve were bound as books, and the remaining eighteen were presented unbound in boxed portfolios made of hand-dyed parchment. Tate's suite is number twenty-five, and is one of the portfolio versions. Each of the thirteen prints is signed by the artist. The project was designed and printed by master engraver Jacob Samuel.
Following the title page, the portfolio includes two pages each printed with two lines of text. These read: 'Crows are calling/Blackness from her womb', and 'Valley of red/Wounded walls of tranquility'. In this way colour is registered as an important theme in the work before the images are encountered. The words link the womb with injury, darkness and foreboding, but also align it with the landscape, and evoke it as a refuge… (read more)

Don't make these mistakes with your crockpot.Now that fall's officially here, we're craving warm roasts and comforting stews-but not the flavorless or overcooked kind. By avoiding the following mistakes while using your slow cooker, you can say goodbye to sub-par dinners and hello to the best-tasting stews around, just in time for the chillier weather.
1. Neglecting to brown meats
Browning meats in a skillet (or in the slow cooker's insert if it's stovetop safe) before programming the cook time will give your braise or stew heartier flavor.
Related: Enjoy Delicious Dinners on a Dime
2. Removing the lid during use
When slow cookers lose heat it takes them a long time to gain it back. Don't remove the lid until you have to.
3. Always using the same temperature and time settings
Your kitchen might not be a chemistry lab but a little experimentation may be necessary to get the best results. Try out a few combinations of temperature setting and cooking time to get it just right.
4. Not submerging meat
Cooking times for meat and poultry that's under liquid will be shorter than for pieces that aren't. Make sure that everything's submerged so that the entire dish cooks evenly.
5. Using the wrong setting
If your meat is consistently overcooked, chances are that your slow cooker is operating at a high temperature while on the warm setting. To remedy the problem, reduce the time your recipe cooks before going into keep warm mode.

Hello all...
I'm trying this as an experiment.
I read that people that had 1.1.2 and trying the HW ulock are getting the UnknowN IMEI and Unknown ICCID.
Now, I didn't even try the HW unlock, but my phone says the repair needed message that everyone is complaining about. I downgraded to 1.0.2, to 1.1.1.. couldn't JB 1.1.1 cause no wifi, etc. Now I'm at 1.0.2, used iBrickr to boot the phone, used PACAY to activate and put the lockdownd file in to place (for some reason iBrickr was putting the phone in to a continuous loop)
Anywho - I'm trying to do the hardware unlock now, because someone from the other thread dumped a little bit of the iPhone restore log on here.
Here is my thing
1) Restore 1.0.2
2) Jailbreak
3) No IMEI, No ICCID, No Wifi, No nothin...
4) PXL > BSD, Terminal, UIctl, bbtools
5) chmod to all the correct things... don't worry about that part
so here I am:
Now.. just for the hell of it.. since there is no baseband (this is what I'm assuming)..# cd /usr/bin/bbtools
# ./ienew

Office of the President
Transylvania University
300 North Broadway
Lexington, KY
R. Owen Williams took office as the 25th president on August 1, 2010.
"Becoming the 25th president of Transylvania University is a fabulous opportunity. In fact, I find it exciting in the extreme.
"Transylvania has the best of both worlds. It's a small, compact campus in the midst of a city of 300,000 with all its urban advantages. Our small enrollment (1,100 students) creates a strong sense of community and closeness among students, faculty, and staff. And that's the essence of a liberal arts education."
R. Owen Williams
President Williams came to Transylvania in 2010 following a 24-year career as a Wall Street investment banker and a 10-year period of scholarly preparation at Yale University, Harvard University, and New York University. He also brought to Transylvania an impressive resume of volunteer work for non-profit organizations that included extensive fund-raising and strategic planning initiatives.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.

Top 10 Ways Parents and Schools Can Have a Good Working Relationship
January 24, 2013 in Special Education Advisor Blog by Dennise Goldberg
We all know it takes a village to raise a child and to make sure that child receives a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE); the two most important components in making that happen are the parents and the school. In order to do that, everyone needs to do be responsible for their role in educating that child as well as work together to address all their areas of need. I know it's not an easy task to accomplish; however, the student will have a better opportunity to receive FAPE if both parties work together instead of spending their time working against each other. Here are some tips that might help to achieve a good working relationship between parents and schools. Read the rest of this entry →

Easy Interview
I applied online and interviewed at PwC.
Interview Details I found all well and easy until the partner interview. All though the partner interview seemed very relaxed and I felt I nailed it they said I didn't really sell myself enough. I feel really stupid when I do it but I guess it needs to be done. Other than that everything was great and everybody is really friendly. The pool of candidates is always strong so I guess you need to be very upfront.
Interview Question – I got asked about my internship. To be honest I felt I oversold it but they thought I went way under. If you have any experience make it sound like you saved the company from bankruptcy and everything you learned will help you at PWC. Answer Question

I applied through college or university and the process took 2 days - interviewed at PwC.
Interview Details Was selected through on-campus recruiting. PwC had a formal dinner the day before the interview where you could ask questions to current employees. Very professional. Had the interview the next day with the same person i spoke to the night before. Went very well. Never got a yes or no answer.

Interview Details Office where there were alumni from my university where much more receptive to me, and vice versa. If you're not from one of their "core" schools then you can forget it.
Interview Question – The interviewer asked many questions about my resume, but the most unexpected was just about me. He asked, "what do you like to do?" which is a very simple question but it caught me off guard. I would just try to be personal and not so serious and rigid. Answer Question

Easy Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at PwC in November 2013.
Interview Details First went through on campus recruiting. Met with a manager from PWC and was very conversational interview. Asked about teamwork examples (bad team players, how you handled situation, etc). Received a call for a second round interview about 4-5 days afterwards. The super day kept being pushed back because they wanted all the candidates to be in the office at the same time. Was pushed back about 3 weeks to late November.
Superday started with breakfast, a HR manager presentation and then a panel with 2 young associates. Make sure to ask a question ( I asked about opportunities for international travel). Next I had 3 consecutive interviews starting with the manager, then director and lastly managing director. The manager asked the most technical questions ( Why Pwc, why tax, how do you manage time, work late + manage course load, team work, etc). The director was very laid-back and talked about the social aspect, sports teams that PWC can offer. Maybe asked 1 question off my resume regarding previous internship. Lastly was the managing director. Asked several questions about why accounting, why my school and why tax. Make sure to speak about at least one relevant accounting issue related to your position with the partner. This will set you apart from other candidates and the partners will love it that you did some outside research. Overall process was simple. Interviewed wendesday and heard back Monday for an offer in NYC office.
Interview Question – Why accounting? Why Tax? Why Pwc? Give examples of how you managed extensive course load/job/ school at once. View Answer
Negotiation Details – No negotiation.

Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at PwC in October 2012.
Interview Details I got in contact with a recruiter. We did a preliminary interview before I interviewed with a partner. Then on the Super Day I interviewed with several partners. The whole interview process was long but very easy going in the beginning. Towards the end the interviews got to be a little more nerve racking.
Interview Question – "Tell me a situation in which you had to..." Scenario questions are the most difficult. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – None for the start internship.

I was given a thorough overview of the job details and the overall culture of the work environment.

Whether you're crushing double-digit boulder problems or top-roping in the gym, the right pair of climbing shoes is essential for success. Rock climbing shoes have smooth sticky rubber soles and allow climbers to stand confidently on tiny edges and features in the rock. For optimal performance, climbers often choose a climbing shoe one to three sizes smaller than their normal street shoe size. The two biggest factors to consider when choosing a climbing shoe are the type of climbing you usually do and the way the shoe fits your unique foot shape.
Sport Climbing:
Sport climbing can involve everything from technical slabs to brutally steep overhangs. As such, a rock climbing shoe that will be best suited to all-around sport climbing will have a flat to moderately downturned profile shape, a balance of stiffness and sensitivity, and will fit snugly.
The hardest moves in rock climbing happen at the boulders. Because of the focus on technical difficulty, a bouldering shoe often has an aggressive downturned shape, high asymmetric curvature, a sensitive feel, and are sized tight for enhanced performance.
Trad Climbing:
The best climbing shoe for traditional climbing will depend on the specific type of routes you plan to climb. Desert crack climbers often prefer a sensitive slipper with a narrow shape to fit cracks, while big-wall and multi-pitch climbers often prefer a shoe with a flatter and more natural shape and more comfort for all-day use.

Autostar provides primary control of the telescope and replaces the Electronic Controller for telescopes so equipped. After alignment, the object menu library within Autostar is used to automatically slew (move) the telescope to an object.
The lightweight ergonomic design of Autostar enhances any observing session for both novice and advanced telescope users. A variety of options are available within Autostar:
[ toc ]
Parts Listing
Autostar is completely assembled at the Meade factory. When first opening the packing box, note the following parts:
[ toc ]
Assembly Instructions
Power for Autostar is supplied through the telescope. No internal batteries are required. See the telescope instruction manual for details.
To attach Autostar to a telescope follow these steps:
Remove the power cord from the computer control panel.
[ toc ]
The Autostar Computer Controller provides virtually every telescope function within a compact handbox. Autostar has soft-touch keys designed to have a positive feel, even through gloves. The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is backlit with a red LED (Light Emitting Diode) for easy viewing in the dark. The backlit display, key arrangement, and sequential database make Autostar extremely user friendly.
2-Line LCD Display (1, Fig. 1): Provides an interface between Autostar and the telescope. The top line lists the primary category or menu item while the second line contains a menu option or information about an object or subject, based on the current function.
ENTER Key (2, Fig. 1): Accesses the next level of sequential data in the Autostar database (see MOVING WITHIN AUTOSTAR.
NOTE: If ENTER is pressed for two seconds or more and when released, Autostar emits a beep and ENTER to Sync is displayed. "Synchronize" is relevant only after the telescope has been aligned and is pointing at an object. If the "Synchronize" feature is accessed by mistake, press MODE to return to the previous screen.
MODE Key (3, Fig. 1): Returns to the previous level of data in Autostar until the top level (Select Item) is reached. Pressing MODE while in the Select Item level moves Autostar to the topmost screen: Select Item: Object. The MODE key is similar to the EXIT key on a computer.
NOTE: If MODE is pressed and held for two seconds or more, the following is available using the scroll keys (8 and 9, Fig. 1):
Press MODE again to return to the previous menu.
GO TO Key (4, Fig. 1): Slews the telescope to the coordinates of the most recently selected object. Once the telescope is slewing, the operation may be aborted at any time by pressing any key except GO TO. Pressing GO TO again resumes the slew to the object.
Arrow Keys (5, Fig. 1): Slews (moves) the telescope in a specific direction (up, down, left, and right), at any one of nine different speeds (speed selection is explained in Adjusting Slew Speed).
"0" Key (7, Fig. 1): Press the "0" key during data entry to enter the "0" value. When data entry is not required, the "0" key turns the utility light (14, Fig. 1) on or off.
Scroll Keys (8 and 9, Fig. 1): Accesses database options within a selected menu. The menu is displayed on the first line of the screen. Options within the menu are displayed, one at a time, on the second line. Press the scroll keys to move through those options. Press and hold a scroll key to move quickly through the options
NOTE: The scroll down key moves forward through the database (A to Z) and the scroll up key moves backward (Z to A).
"?" Key (10, Fig. 1): Accesses the "Help" file. "Help" provides on-screen information on how to accomplish whatever task is currently active (see Using Autostar Help).
Coil Cord Connector Port (11, Fig. 1): Accepts the plug from the Autostar coil cord (13, Fig. 1) that attaches between Autostar and the HBX port on the computer control panel of the telescope.
RS-232 Connector Port (12, Fig. 1): Accepts an RS-232 computer interface cable such as is included with the #505 Connector Cable Ste (see OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES). If a new version of Autostar software has been downloaded from the Meade web site, (www.meade.com) or orbital parameters about new celestial objects has been received) connect between a personal computer (PC) and Autostar using this port to accomplish the download.
Utility Light (14, Fig. 1): The utility light illuminates when the current date is entered. Press the "0" key once to turn the utility light off; press again to turn the light back on.
[ toc ]
Using Autostar Help
The Autostar Computer Controller Help feature details Autostar functions and operations by pressing the "?" key, then following the prompts on the display. The Help system is essentially an on-screen instruction manual.
Anytime there is a question concerning an Autostar operation (i.e., INITIALIZATION, ALIGNMENT, etc.), press the "?" key and follow the directions that scroll on the second line of the LCD screen. When a word appears in [brackets], press ENTER to access the Autostar Glossary; a definition or more detailed information is displayed. Press MODE to return to the scrolling Autostar Help display.
When satisfied with the Help provided, press MODE to return to the original screen and continue with the chosen procedure.
[ toc ]
1. Verify the telescope's HOME POSITION as described in APPENDIX A.
2. Verify that Autostar is properly connected (see Assembly Instructions).
4. Autostar takes a few moments to initialize the system.
5. Six languages are available with Autostar. Press the requested number key to chose the desired language.
6. A message appears that warns not to look at the Sun (see WARNING). At the end of this message press the number key indicated to signify that the message has been read and understood by the user. Press the required key as prompted and the scrolling message stops.
NOTE: If the telescope does not move, or moves in only one axis, verify that the vertical and horizontal locks are tight (see the telescope instruction manual).
8. Getting Started appears with another scrolling message. This prompts to either press the "?" key (10, Fig. 1) for information on Autostar functions and controls, or press ENTER (2, Fig. 1) to bypass the Help tutorial and continue with initialization. If Help is chosen, when finished, press MODE (3, Fig. 1) to return to this procedure.
9. Autostar requests the current date. Use the number keys (6, Fig. 1) to enter the information. Then, use the scroll keys (8 and 9, Fig. 1) to cycle through the list of months. When the current month is displayed use the right arrow (5, Fig. 1) to move to the year. Use the number keys to enter all four digits of the current year. Press ENTER when the date has been entered.
NOTE: When there is a multiple choice within a menu option, the current option is usually the first to appear on the screen. In addition, the choice is highlighted by a right pointing arrow (>) to the left of the selection, as shown on the display for Daylight Savings Time.
NOTE: Daylight Savings Time may be referred to by a different name in various areas of the world.
13. Use the scroll keys to cycle through the database of countries, states, and provinces. Press ENTER when the correct location appears.
14. The next screen alphabetically asks for the nearest city to the observing site.
15 Use the scroll keys to cycle through the database of cities. Press ENTER when the correct city appears on screen.
16. Use the scroll keys to locate the telescope model to which Autostar is connected. Press ENTER to select the appropriate model.
17. System initialization is complete and the screen reads Setup: Align. Proceed to AUTOSTAR NAVIGATION for general information on using Autostar before training the drive and aligning the telescope.
