Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Your Rating
O(H) cleverly implodes the art of making dance while also showcasing the talents of its Los Angeles-based creators, Liz Casebolt and Joel Smith.
The two banter good-naturedly and dissect contemporary practice, poking fun at seemingly everyone, including legendary dance icons Bob Fosse to Martha Graham. They explain the origins of breakdance and crack in-jokes about technique. Proud Mary will never quite sound the same again after seeing a skivvies-clad Smith strut to Casebolt's powerhouse vocals.
The show should all be a breath of fresh air, yet begins to resemble a pedantic lecture/demonstration. Too many cerebral analyses — such as the meaning of their gestural language — makes it feel as dry as dancers' shoe chalk.
When they improvise movement phrases to a spontaneous text at the end, it's akin to being in a rehearsal hall. Fascinating, yes. But a show fuelled by evident love for the art form should, one hopes, communicate something more than a quasi-academic discourse.
— Holly Harris
From the Fringe program:
If you're tired of modern dance that takes itself way too seriously, O(h) is perfect for you. casebolt and smith tear apart their process of making dances, speak directly to the audience, rewrite and sing iconic rock songs, borrow from famous choreographers, deploy lightning-quick banter, and toss in a dash of breakin'. Dance. Theater. Comedy. O(h), it's also Hilarious.

The District of Columbia is among the 10 greenest cities in North America and is tied for No. 1 in environmental governance, according to a study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and commissioned by Siemens Corporation.
The study, The US and Canada Green City Index, assessed and compared 27 major cities in the United States and Canada on environmental performance and policies across nine categories – carbon-dioxide emissions, energy consumption, land use, green buildings, transportation, water quality, waste management, air quality and environmental governance. The District, along with New York and Denver, topped the index in environmental governance and was No. 8 in overall environmental performance.
"The District of Columbia continues to prove itself an environmental leader – and particularly in the way our government and our residents take environmental sensitivity into account," said Mayor Vincent C. Gray, announcing the honor at his weekly City Hall Press Briefing today. "We've been pioneers in areas like purchasing renewable energy, use of green transportation like bike-sharing programs and construction of LEED-certified green buildings. But I'm excited that this new study provides a set of qualitative and quantitative data that will allow cities to assess what other municipalities are doing and learn from each other as we work to create environmentally sustainable communities."
Siemens President and CEO Eric Spiegel pointed out that America's cities are proving to be the driving force behind the nation's sustainability efforts. While the United States does not have a federal climate policy or a federal carbon standard, 21 of the 27 cities in the index have already set their own carbon-reduction targets. "Cities are creating comprehensive sustainability plans, utilizing current technology and proving every day that we don't have to wait to create a more sustainable future," Spiegel said.
"The District is fortunate and indeed very privileged to have an executive leadership that is committed to a green and environmentally healthy city," says Christophe A.G. Tulou, Director of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE). "Our Mayor and D.C. Council members understand how critical it is that our city becomes a leader and trendsetter -- in policy and practice -- on environmental sustainability."
Siemens Chief Sustainability Officer for the Americas Alison Taylor added, "City budgets are as tight as they have ever been, but mayors are leading the charge around making their cities more sustainable because they know they can't afford to push these decisions off until tomorrow. Our goal with the Green City Index is to identify best practices, advance good ideas and provide a baseline for cities to help them set targets for themselves so that they can serve as role models for others with their innovative policies."
The nine categories used in the U.S. and Canada Green City Index are based on 31 individual indicators — 16 of which are quantitative (e.g. consumption of water and electricity per capita, recycling rate, use of public transportation) and 15 qualitative (e.g. carbon-dioxide reduction targets, efficiency standards and incentives for buildings, environmental governance). The study also includes in-depth city portraits of each urban center and highlights initiatives and projects from which other cities can learn.
The 27 cities selected were chosen to represent a number of the most populous metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada. According to the US and Canada Green City Index, cities that performed best in the rankings are the ones that have comprehensive sustainability plans that encompass every aspect of creating a greener future, including transportation, land use, energy use, carbon-dioxide emissions and water use.

In search of this kite from 2006
I am looking for any info on this kite I saw in a Kite Clubs pics from AKA 2006...If anyone knows who the owner of this kite is?..or if they still have it?..would be interested in selling it?..etc...please contact me * I was told it was a special made Stars & Stripes Prism Kite made in Germany
Re: In search of this kite from 2006
That's a one-of-a-kind Cassagne-style ring made by Pete Dolphin. It won the Member's Choice prize at the AKA convention in Dayton in 2003.

Re: In search of this kite from 2006
Yes that is Peter's Kite, I've helped him assemble it a couple of times.I doubt he would sell it. He has 3 different crowns.
There was a RWB large Crown entered in competition at the Des Moine AKA convention in 2006. I can't remember the makers name but I remember he machined the special fittings from oak. The center sail was red and white stripes. Hope this helps .
Re: In search of this kite from 2006
That's a really interesting picture. It's actually two (2) of Pete's kites being flown at one time - one inside the other - I haven't seen that before. The larger is the the Freedom Ring. And inside that is the Moon kite.
Here's the moon by itself.
And here's Pete assembling Freedom - for size comparison.
The copy of Pete's Freedom Ring was made by Roy White of Missouri. Unfortunately the only reference to that kite never acknolwedge that it is a copy of Pete's kite, much less acknowleging Andre Cassagnes as the original designer who improved upon Alexander Graham Bell's work.
There was recently a workshop led by Willi Koch in Germany where 28 of these kites were made over 2 weekends. Amazing stuff. A couple sets of pictures.
Unfortunately the fittings necessary to build one of these are not commercially available in the US. For awhile Jimbos Swanson (Swanson Kites) was casting them but no longer. I just bought a set of Jimbo's fittings and am planning on making one of these this winter as it has been on my build list a long time.

Re: In search of this kite from 2006
So,how much does a kite like that go for?? $$$..and how would go about getting one?
Re: In search of this kite from 2006
In further searching I learned that the RWB crown kite (similar to Peters )I mentioned above was made by Roy White from Mo. . If your an AKA member you can look up his contact information in the membership listing.

$1005 for an old CPU, only 6 gig of RAM, and a budget video card? I don't think so.
Agreed with Know_cents- the gpu and the psu are both underpowered and underwhelming much like obama's presidency. I would say near impotent.
2nd Gen CPU, only 1GB on the video card for 1K?
If it was the current Aurora version, R4, it may be worth it for the quad-channel memory and a motherboard that actually supports true quad channel. This, unfortunately, is the R3 - outdated and overpriced.
I think they are counting on the cool sounding name and space craft looking case to sell these.

Guess what, guys? We don't feel sorry for you.
Go to the bargaining table, make a deal, and then wake me up when the playoffs roll around. As a fan (and not even that big of an NBA fan), it's hard to pick sides in this fight. We all know these players make way too much money dunking basketballs, and at the same time, we all know team owners are rich as hell – yet they price-gouge fans on everything from hats to jerseys to $10 beers at the arena. It's one group of very rich people against another group of very rich people. It's hard to pick a side, because I don't exactly relate to their rich troubles. This time, though, it's different. The players are making it pretty easy to side with the owners.
Now, you might expect me to give some well-thought-out reason for siding with the owners, like, those expensive bills they have to pay in a sport that doesn't make a lot of money in most seasons. You might expect me to say that the players really are overpaid for the work that they do, and that the owners are right to cut players' pay. Well, no, on both fronts. I side with the owners because the players, or at least the players representing the players, look like a bunch of clowns. They don't demand respect, and when all is said and done, they won't get it.
Here's where the NBA labor dispute is right now, in case you haven't been following it (and I hope you haven't). First, NBA Commissioner David Stern cancelled the preseason, because owners and players weren't even close to a labor agreement. Then Stern cancelled the first two weeks of the season. Both sides know they are far from agreement on a new deal. At the heart of their disagreement is how they'll split revenues. Last I read, the players union wants 53 percent of revenues, while owners want something closer to a 50-50 split. Regardless of how close or far away both sides are, Stern and the owners are willing to cancel games to force the players' hands.
So last Friday, the commissioner, who was beginning the rounds of what seemed to be an all-day, Sarah Palin-style campaign tour, threatened to cancel games through the Christmas season. After Stern made the threat, NBA Players Association Executive Director Billy Hunter and President Derek Fisher called it a tactic "with no real purpose but to sway players' sentiment," according to The New York Times. Of course I believe Stern made a threat to sway players into making a deal. What was so freaking funny was the way the players handled their response.
The ensuing press conference was great theater. Behind NBA spokesman Derek Fisher (standing at a podium with a nice suit on, reading his statement) stood maybe 15 NBA players, wearing everything from white T-shirts to sweatpants to sideways ball caps to tank tops. Here were these players demanding respect, yet they looked trashy. If I were Fisher, I would have told them all to wait in the back, it looked so bad.
Fisher and LeBron James are the only players who have been wearing suits throughout this process. Did anyone see Carmelo Anthony's yellow flannel the other day? I wonder if La La picked that one out for him.
Fashion shouldn't have a lot to say in a labor negotiation, but in this one, it's having an effect. Had the players come to the press conference dressed in suits, looking like the serious businesspeople they want us to believe they are, they may have demanded some respect. The players do want to be respected in this labor disagreement, right?
"Everybody knows it's not our fault," Bulls guard Derrick Rose said about the lockout, while promoting his new line of shoes. "They're not thinking about anything we're saying. They're not taking into consideration anything we're trying to give them."
If I were you, Derrick, I'd get the players together and make sure everybody dresses the part of a professional during this process or nobody's going to listen. Millionaires slumming it in sideways hats and white T-shirts? Gimme a break.
To this fan, it looks like the players are too lazy to take their negotiations regarding billions of dollars seriously. Dress like the pros you are, and maybe, a small NBA season can be salvaged. That will be good for everyone involved, especially those everyday folks who earn their livings on jobs the game provides. I do hope, for their sake, the two sides can get together and strike a deal. The economy is bad enough as it is.
For now, though, we fans should all sit back, relax, and not get caught in the soap opera. It isn't worth the brain damage. As I said, wake me up if, and when, the playoffs begin.

Congratulations to 2012 US Olympian Lily Zhang for qualifying for the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games!
Here's a general rule. If the ball is coming to your backhand low and slow, you should favor a backhand loop. If the ball is coming in high or fast, you should hit.
Yeeah! We hit our GOAL! Thanks to all our DONORS! You DID IT!

Heads up! Crocs like to go climbing
Crocodiles are majestic, powerful creatures that can grow up to 23 feet long. Oh, and they could pretty much snap you in half with one well-timed munch. It's one thing to admire these animals at ground level, where you can keep an eye on them. It's another to imagine them dangling above you in a tree canopy. As it turns out, crocs and alligators have a hunger for heights.
The news of the proclivity for these large aquatic reptiles to shimmy up trees comes from a team of researchers and their paper titled "Climbing behavior in extant crocodilians" from the journal Herpetology Notes.… Read more

COMPLEMENT MULTIPLICATIONSchool children find it difficult to compute or perform the multiplication such as 97 x 95.In mathematics the term COMPLEMENT is used to perform multiplication.[Complement of a number is the amount by which that number is less than 100.]Find 97 x 95.The complement of 97 is 3. The complement of 95 is 5.(a) Subtract the complement of one of the numbers from the other number.97 - 5 = 92 or 95 - 3 = 92.These are the first two digits of your product.(b) Multiply the complements of the two numbers. 5 x 3 = 15These are the last two digits of your final product.(c) Combine the two numbers to get your answer. 97 x 95 = 9215This method of shortcut works under one condition.

An analysis on the condition of and future dependence on foreign aid transitional shelters ("T-shelters") in Haiti was recently compiled and presented by Architecture for Humanity to partners in Haitian reconstruction.
The 51-page report examines and compares 10 emergency shelter types currently housing thousands of Haitians in Port-au-Prince, Leogane and Papette. The report rates components for longevity, adaptability and satisfaction of users' needs amongst other criteria.
Transitional shelters are in wide use in Haiti as a fast, semi-permanent housing solution while permanent housing get underway. Refugees in post-disaster situations can expect to live transitionally for several years. This time frame may be extended in Haiti due to the decimated state of the land tenure archive and restricted access to construction materials.

Phase 2 of Safe Trestles – an ideas competition that explores ways to create safe, low-impact access to Trestles – is complete. The winning scheme, The Wave, was collaboratively designed and developed by Co-LAB design office, an emerging award winning architecture practice based in Los Angeles. The design is based on the informal pathways cut through the wetlands each year by surfers.
The Wave's ambition is to keep it wild, make it safe, and safeguard the area for future users - keeping this landscape safe, protected and pristine, for generations to come.

StudentsRebuild will be awarding grant money to a first round of Haitian schools at the beginning of October and is featuring overviews of the four first schools at the Build Schools page. Be sure the check out that page for more information, but a recap of the candidates can be found below:
École Baptiste Bon Berger "Good Shepherd", Pele, Port-au-Prince
Architecture for Humanity recently broke ground on the Ceverine school in Maissade, Haiti. The school presents many challenges common in Haiti: an extremely remote, rural site, as well as a lack of basic services such as water and electricity.
Architecture for Humanity faced the additional challenge of addressing an existing school block which had been constructed poorly. The existing school block had been built on a raft foundation on a steep slope and had begun to slide. The kitchen was a small cramped shed made of wood, creating a fire hazard. The latrine was merely a pit with a concrete shell over it.

Stacey (seated at right) is seriously green. I don't mean new (although she's that as well, to our Haiti team, having joined us last month in Port-au-Prince), but, you know, ECO. Sustainable. Stacey is working with Architecture for Humanity as our Design Fellow delegate from the United States Green Building Council, or USGBC, better know for the development of the LEED certification system (see an overview, Stacey's in fact, of how LEED can work in Haiti).
Stacey hails from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where she is Principal and Green Studio Director for the architecture firm Koch Hazard. It's an honor that she accepted our invitation to work in Haiti for a year and I'm sure countless people will benefit from her wisdom.

On September 4th and 5th the Karachi chapter of Architecture for Humanity continued post-flood assessments in partnership with the Karachi Relief Fund. On Sunday the team was surveying a potential site at Fizagat, which is approximately 3-5km from Saidu Shaif. They were stunned by what they found. A village that has designed their way out of the floods and into economic recovery.
Chapter leader Mahboob Khan explained, "The Swat riverbed extends over 300m at this point, with both sides of the river supporting large populations. During our trip we stumbled across an ingenious series of handmade rafts that were made from tire tubes and bamboo by local villagers. At least 50 of these rafts were seen crossing the water with a number under construction."

For decades, the accusations of Cuban exiles about human rights abuses in Cuba have been questioned.
It was 37 years ago when a local South Florida newspaper questioned Cuban exiles when they said the Castro regime held thousands of political prisoners and had done so for almost 20 years. It made no difference that my wife's uncle was serving a 30 year prison sentence and that we had letters from him written on cigarette paper smuggled out of Cuba's jails.
By 1979, nobody questioned the fact. Cuba agreed to release 3,600 political prisoners and Amnesty International proclaimed Cuba had the highest per capita number of political prisoners in the world.
Things are not as bad today. Still, accusations from Cubans on the island or from their brethren in exile are not given proper credibility. This is different when the information comes from international human rights organizations.
Last week two of them spoke out: Reporters Without Borders and Human Rights Watch. It was a solid one-two punch; one that should have shaken the naiveté of those who believe in the fairy tales parsed out by Cuba's propaganda machine.
It didn't, for the two reports got little coverage in the American media. Human rights abuses in Cuba are old news. What is new is the possibility Cuba is changing under Raúl Castro; that somehow we are close to seeing the day when representatives of the two governments hug each other publicly after more than half a century of animosity.
Reporters Without Borders, a French-based organization, was the first to prick the bubble of those who believe that Communism in Cuba can survive with a free press or that the Castro clan would ever permit it.
In its annual report, the organization said Cuba was one of the top 10 regimes in world for its lack of respect for freedom of expression. It pointed out that repression against its dissidents had grown significantly in 2012.
Two days later Human Rights Watch – also in its annual report – said Cuba was the "only country in Latin America" where almost all form of political dissent is repressed. This came only a few days before Cuba held its elections to the National Assembly where the voters are given the opportunity to vote for a single candidate for each job.
The HRW report published last Thursday said that during 2012, Raúl Castro's government "continued to impose political consensus" by force. It cited the government "detained Cuban citizens arbitrarily, although for brief periods of time; subjected dissidents to public beatings, and goon squads that repudiated them in public."
It also said Cuba restricted travel of its citizens and forced others into exile.
Cuba announced new travel policies in January, but still grants permission for some to leave while denying it to others. Call it the right to travel Cuban style – that is, providing the government says you can do it.
The importance of reports like these is that often they quantify the abuses. HRW said that Cuba had increased dramatically the number of arbitrary short term detention of dissidents – from 2,074 in all of 2010 to 5,105 between January and September of 2012.
Reports like this come out regularly. They refute with facts those who believe that concessions will bring Cuba closer to the United States and the people to people contact will promote democracy in the island.
Sorry, but I cannot close my eyes. I have been inside Cuba's prisons as a journalist. I have interviewed scores of those jailed because they opposed a tyranny.
I have not seen Cuba change substantially. When American politicians travel to Cuba, the government is generous and frees a prisoner or two. Yet at the same time, it is jailing many others so they have prisoners – like flowers – to give to those who befriend the Revolution.

White Water Raft the New River Gorge an Adventure Vacation
We have all vacationed near beaches, at theme parks and many other laid back, relaxing vacation spots, how about an adventure for a change? White water rafting adventures have been gaining in popularity in recent years with the number of adventure and thrill seekers looking to step out of the office and into the wilderness. Rivers that were inaccessible are now suddenly a popular tourist destination and the adventure industry is booming.
As our lives grow more hectic, they also get predictable and more humdrum. No time for adventures in real life, so make your vacation one to remember with your own white water rafting adventure. One great spot to take the plunge so to speak is in the New River Gorge in West Virginia. It snakes through mountains and canyons on a 1000 foot elevation change as it dissects West Virginia and the Allegheny Mountains.
The New River Gorge National River boast 53 miles of free flowing river.
The southern most of the river is primarily long pools and relatively easy rapids. If you are looking for a challenge as an experienced white water rafter, then head to the North, or lower gorge as this section is known for its huge rapids all the way up to a class 5 with large boulders and crosscurrents.
Whatever your experience level it is always important to prepare for your journey as with any adventure. Be sure to know what is expected of you and always bring extra supplies as you will get wet.
There a variety of licensed guides that offer tours on the New River as well as the Gauley River. Your trip includes a trained guide, instruction, equipment, transportation to the river and meals. You can choose to do a short trip or even take a few days and try your hand at a real adventure!
The primary season is April through October though trips are offered almost year round.
With all adventure trips, there is of course some risk involved including white water rafting. Considering the safety issue you may be asked to sign a liability waiver, though West Virgina's outfitters do take precautions and follow strict guidelines. If you follow the rules and are smart about what you do, you will be one of the thousands of people that comes back home with nothing but great stories to tell.
Restrictions in age do apply to adventure trips down the New River 12-14 years is the age limit for the Lower New River for good reason. As far as what to bring, bathing suits and river shoes are recommended as well as warm clothes for when you get off the river including perhaps a hat as 40% of your body heat is lost through your head. Also sunscreen and sunglass are highly recommended as water tends to reflect the sun.
Follow the rules, bring extra supplies and plan for the most exciting adventure yet on the New River in West Virginia.
Surfing the Waves in Australia
Western Australia is renowned for its surfing. With thousands of miles of coastline to choose from, there is always someplace to catch a big wave.
From professional to novice the waves abound in this wonderful tourist destination. Margaret River is a great choice for your journey to the outback. Only a little over 3 hours south of Perth, you will find plenty to do on the surfing vacation of a lifetime.
Not only does Margaret River have some of the biggest, craziest waves in the world, but it also offers the comforts of a wonderful small town with city accommodations.
There is a wide variety of options when you are not catching a wave at one of the many surfing hotspots around Margaret River. Wineries, fine dining, wonderful accommodations as well as other activities such as whale watching or heading down into spectacular caves.
When you do want to surf, here are some of the best places to visit in the area. Boranup is a pristine, isolated beach which also provides access to 4WDs and has what is considered the best surf south of Margaret River.
You could try Redgate if you are not quite so confident. Though the swells are smaller than those of Boranup, they hold shape and it tends to be a bit less crowded. Or, head to Surfers Point for a more challenging ride, with over 12 foot waves at times.
Margaret River Mouth and Injidup Car Park also offer some great chances to hit the waves hard. Margaret River Mouth is better for the beginner with smaller waves, but Injidup Car Park is known for its great barrels. The latter tends to be a bit more crowded than most other surf areas nearby, so if you are interested in a bit more space, Boranup is probably a bit more your style. These are only a few of the many ideal places to surf, be sure to hit the Margaret River Visitor Center for a more detailed map.
Whatever you choose to do, Margaret River would certainly be a good first step towards a great surf vacation. If you are looking for a perfect place to experience some of the best waves in the world, head to Australia on your next vacation.

Brazil is a lively country with beautiful sun-kissed beaches and a colorful atmosphere. Brazil is a country that has a lot to its visitors. The culture of the people of Brazil is very diverse with many influences. Brazil is the 5th largest country of the world and it has some of the most famous attractions for visitors from all over the world. Brazil has something to offer for everyone! Here is a look at 2 of the most famous places that Brazil has to offer.
Prague wins the hottest European destination for 2009.
Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, lies at the heart of Central Europe. An eventful history, fascinating sightseeing and good value entertainment make this one of the true 'must see' cities in Europe.
South Luangwa, Zambia wins the hottest African destination for 2009.
Often overlooked, experts have dubbed South Luangwa as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and not without reason. The concentration of game around the Luangwa river and it's ox bow lagoons is among the most intense in Africa.
Dubai wins the hottest Asian destination for 2009.
Dubai offers facilities of the highest international standards combined with the charm and adventure of Arabia – an exceptional blend of modern city and timeless desert.
Sydney wins the hottest Australian destination for 2009.
Sydney has many attractions and a great setting in which to enjoy them. The city's harbor features the spectacular Opera House, the Rocks (the original penal colony in Australia), Darling Harbor, and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Add in some great beaches (Bondi, Chinaman's) and equally fun shopping ( in the market for an Opal?) and you begin to realize why Sydney is a world class city.

Good for Roger.
You know Roger can be a good player for a contender. When Roger is on, no one can stop him. Teams need that type of player, someone who can light it up on both ends of the floor. Not only that, but he brings NBA toughness in a 6'5" strong body frame. Did I mention he's a savvy veteran?
At the end of the day, what makes an NBA player is the toughness and strength matched with the skill and athletic ability to beat the best in the world. Roger can do just that. Millions aspire to be NBA players, but through those millions only a few can make it and Roger not only made it, he put a stamp on this league. A stamp that says- "No, sir, you cannot beat me for I am man."
Lakers traded a lot of picks for Nash.
that according to ESPNIn return, the Suns get four draft picks -- first rounders in 2013 and 2015 and second rounders in 2013 and 2014.
So I guess we could trade Bell for their 2015 2nd, that seems most likely.
i dont get it. why do you call him roger braille.

Ate at Ruth's Chris with my family at the riverside crown plaza location in Jacksonville last night, April 4th at 6:30 pm. Excellent food and excellent service by the wait staff especially Richard and Julian and the other two of their wait staff. There were two female receptionists at the entrance. The taller one was very rude. She didn't greet us with a smile. When we were leaving she just looked at us and didn't say hi or thank us for visiting.
"Incredible" – My wife, children and grandchildren recently had dinner here and it was magnificent! The view, the food, wine etc. was just great. They had no problem with menu items that took care of the kids (whom were well behaved) and was such a treat for them. They offer complete dinners now that include appetizer, steak, and dessert. Very good deal!
We will absolutely return here. I have been to the Ponte Vedra location and was not as impressed.
best steak ever and service – the food is awesome the best server i ever had the name is Richard ask for him and sit back and enjoy its the best
The worst $250 ever spent – Anniversary dinner. Arrived early to have a drink in the bar. Host copped an attitude and seated us immediately. Waiter rushed us. Both husband and I ordered rib eye Medium Pittsburgh. My steak was not medium, not rare, it was RAW. It was not edible. Waiter came to clear plates and asked what was wrong with my steak. I showed him my raw steak and reminded him I ordered Medium. He copped an attitude and said that I should have said something. (To whom, I'm wondering. He had disappeared). We won't be going to Ruth's again to spend $250 just to be treated like a red-headed step child.
Sophisticated American chain serves up corn-fed USDA prime cuts and New Orleans-style appetizers and sides. – In Short
This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.
Snoby Attitude and Horrible Food – We have been patrons of this restuarant by the beach many times and it has been mostly a very good experience and good food until last night. After the experience, I don't think we will be patrons of this establishment anymore.
For the price we do expect food that is properly prepared but it was not. My wife's onion soup had plastic melted in it, the stuff chicken entree she ordered was unbelievably overcooked and dry. When this was brought to the attention of the Manager, his attitude was svery nobby and pretentious. It seemed like it was a burden to them an they can do no wrong. To add injury to insult, my rib eye steak was not medium rare as I had ordered but almost cold and rare. When this was brought up, they basically said that is how it normally is. I've gone there many times and have never experienced such awful human behavior especially from a manager. I do not recommend the beach location in JAX in case the food is not prepared properly, there does not seem to be any recourse, and you will only deal with arrogant manager.
Beats other high end steakhouses! – I have been to Morton's and Plaza III, and I am a member of the River Club at the top of the Modis building, and out of all of these fine downtown restaurants/steakhouses Ruth's Chris is by far the best. You CANNOT beat the location/setting either (well maybe River Club, but that's strictly exclusive). I am young and do not have much money, but I MAKE the time and money to go there and treat a nice girl to a good dinner. Do not order anything besides steak there, while everything is excellent, the steaks are mouthwatering good. They "melt" in your mouth (could they be simmered in butter?). Oscar style is the way to go, and like another commenter noted, only by the waiter's word of mouth. Appetizer? Try the seared tuna, while not as good as at River City Brewing Company, it is excellent (I always get seared or raw tuna, it's just that good). Side items? try the creamed spinach, it is the best I have had, and the shoestring is good, so are the potatoes au gratin, really everything. Go for any dessert as well. For those 21 year olds without a budget it IS Ruth's Chris. For those who just turned 21 or who try to appear 21, there is the cheapest bar in town even within stumbling distance of ruth's chris by the railroad tracks and the hospital. Get your beer and shots there, but reserve the bottles for Ruth's Chris. One of my favorite restaurants in town!
Great Food – I took my husband there on his birthday. The food was excellent well worth what you pay. The service could have been better, we went on a Weds night at 7pm. The parking was terrible if you dont get valet. But iverall it was really nice.
Awesome View and Sizzle! – As always Jacksonville's finest and most distinguished restaurant leads the way! Sizzle and glitter as the lights of the St John's River make for a romantic evening, coupled with choice beef served sizzling hot by the best staff in Jacksonville. You will really feel you have arrived at the right restaurant with the right ambiance and style. Be careful when choosing your side items though they come in giant sizes enough to split between two people easily. All in all a really great dinner value. Try the porterhouse for two or a seafood entree!
wrong – My wife and I have ate there many time BUT it is not the BEST steak house in jax. For one thing the service is to slow, and I know that the high priced drinks are watered down . The last time I went there I asked for a clean fork and I thought the waiter was going to tell me to go to Hell. I complained to a manager or what ever he called himself and all he said was sometimes things like that happen. I will never eat there again even if they gave me a free meal. I can afford to eat there but I never will again.

Saint Anthony the Roman
Raised in a pious family during the time of the Great Schism; Anthony's loyalties lay with the Orthodox Church. He gave away his goods, and became a hermit monk. Lived on a rock surrounded by the sea for fourteen months. The rock then broke loose and floated across the waters to Novgorod in Rus. Archbishop Nikita welcomed Anthony as a holy man, and helped him build a church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Anthony attracted students, a monastery grew up around the church, and Anthony served as its abbot. Miracle worker.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
If you will be taking this medicine for a long time (more than 10 days in a row), your doctor should check your progress at regular visits.
Check with your doctor if your pain and/or upset stomach last for more than 10 days or if they get worse, if new symptoms occur, or if the painful area is red or swollen. These could be signs of a serious condition that needs medical treatment.
The sodium bicarbonate in this combination medicine can keep other medicines from working properly if the 2 medicines are taken too close together. Always take this medicine:
Check the labels of all nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) and prescription medicines you now take. If any contain acetaminophen or sodium, check with your health care professional . Taking them together with this medicine may cause an overdose.
Taking certain other medicines together with acetaminophen may increase the chance of unwanted effects. The risk will depend on how much of each medicine you take every day, and on how long you take the medicines together. If your medical doctor or dentist directs you to take these medicines together on a regular basis, follow his or her directions carefully. However, do not take any of the following medicines together with acetaminophen for more than a few days, unless your doctor has directed you to do so and is following your progress:
If you will be taking more than an occasional 1 or 2 doses of this medicine:
Acetaminophen may interfere with the results of some medical tests. Before you have any medical tests, tell the person in charge if you have taken acetaminophen within the past 3 or 4 days. If possible, it is best to call the laboratory where the test will be done about 4 days ahead of time, to find out whether this medicine may be taken during the 3 or 4 days before the test.
For diabetic patients:
If you think that you or anyone else may have taken an overdose of this medicine, get emergency help at once, even if there are no signs of poisoning. Signs of severe acetaminophen poisoning may not appear for 2 to 4 days after the overdose is taken, but treatment to prevent liver damage or death must be started as soon as possible. Treatment started more than 24 hours after the overdose is taken may not be effective.

Rain-drenched summer didn't hamper "Liberty!"10:00 am | August 23, 2013
Even a rain-drenched summer couldn't dampen the Revolutionary spirit.
Despite the county reaching its average annual rainfall total by mid-summer, Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area's outdoor drama "Liberty! The Saga of Sycamore Shoals" stayed afloat during the traditional run the last three weekends of July.
Park Manager Jennifer Bauer declared the 2013 outdoor drama a success.
"Surprisingly, with all the rain we had, it was a really good season," Bauer said. "We were able to complete eight of the nine shows. The ninth show was rained out at intermission. We had great audiences. It was a great season."
The cast of Liberty! has close to 75 members, which includes those that do not have speaking parts. Dozens of volunteers provide support for the cast members and park employees as they prepare for the drama.
"It is quite an undertaking," Bauer said of the drama. "We are fortunate there are so many volunteers that love this story so much. The volunteers and the staff dedicate a lot of their time to the drama. They do it for the love of the story and for the love of Sycamore Shoals."
