A new facility does not make a great restaurant – First and foremost the only reason I am giving a 1 star rating is that the beer is good. However, a new facility does not make a great restaurant. That is the basis for my review. I went there recently with a friend for some after work beer and some food. We were seated on the deck. They had one person in charge of the deck seating with probably 20 patrons on the deck. The guy serving us was overwhelmed, service was slow, and did I mention it was slow. On occasions staff from inside would come out and assist but there was not enough of this kind of help from the other staff and clearly the waiter needed help! Then came the appetizer, Nachos, which were the worst Nachos I have ever had. Now good Nachos are not especially difficult to make but obviously someone in the kitchen decided that by dumping cheese on corn chips and throwing a few more things at the plate that it qualified as being Nachos. NOT! Oh, did I mention the service was slow? Anyway, in my opinion it is not worth going back. It's new and it's real popular but when the newness wears off and unless they improve service and food offerings I think the place will fail.
worst restaurant in everett – the new location is horrible.
greasy pub food, they just raised the price.
the absolute worst service on the planet.
save your money, just go to dennys.
GREAT BEER AND FOOD! – Always had a good meal here and the beer is great and not too exspensive. Have even got a couple kegs for parties and well worth it for 10 plus people. Right on the water in the Everett marina.
Very low key but yummy brewery. – First of all they accept kids in the dinning room. Some brewery's don't allow kids. All of the Beer was extremely good. We had the fish and chips. Very good without being greasy. The dinning area was clean but not nice.
Best Pulled Pork Sandwich around!!! – And the beer is awesome too!
Mmmm, be sure to ask about the seasonal selections. Dy-no-mite!
I had been here several times trying other menu items and wasn't knocked over until I tried the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich.
Apparently one of the guys in the kitchen has a special recipe from Hawaii and he slow roasts the pork on site.
Other than it being a bit hot on my second visit (temperature-wise), I had NO complaints!
It's the type of meal you're gonna get messy with, so maybe not a good idea for a first date. HA!
Once you pick up the sandwich, you're not gonna wanna put it down anyway.
Hmmm, kinda hungry at the moment so perhaps I'll have to pay them a visit...
The only bummer is it's so close to the water but faces the opposite direction. A view would put this place in a league of its own!
User review by divaforfish – This is a casual lunch or dinner spot place for micro-brew lovers. The food is your typical greasy-spoon type fare- burgers, fries, fish and chips, with salads and other standards thrown in. But it is worth it to go for the beer alone (or especially the home-brewed root beer as mentioned below), and the food and service are competently done if not exciting. They also offer jugs of beer to go for about $10 (serves about 4) which can then be refilled at a discount.
hometown place – a quaint little microbrewery - food is good, not exceptional. Lots of fried stuff, but I recommend the beer battered fish and chips....... yummy.
If you don't like beer, try the root beer! They brew it there as well.

Two big changes coming to the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport.
According to the airport's Facebook page, its new runway should open up by the end of the week. The runway is being extended from 6,001 feet to 6,800 feet.
According to the airport's website, CHO lost nonstop flights to Detroit on Delta due to inadequate runway length. Officials say the runway extension project will allow bigger planes to land and take off, and potentially open up new routes.
Two immediate benefits include:
- More flights can be fully booked to depart from CHO; meaning more options for travel from Central Virginians.
- Airlines will find CHO more attractive because a fully booked flight is more profitable for them. This will provide leverage for the airport to negotiate better fares for CHO travelers.
Inside the airport, two security lanes will soon be in use. This will eliminate the delays as people get screened before their flight.

Yotam Ottolenghi's Sweet Corn Polenta with Eggplant Sauce
Author Notes: In its entirety, this is a recipe that works and is really, really good. But it's also full of ideas you can parcel out as you see fit -- namely: polenta doesn't have to be born out of dry goods. Fresh corn, cooked quickly, breaks down to a sweet soup in the food processor. Adapted slightly from Ottolenghi's Plenty (Chronicle Books, 2011).
- Genius Recipes
Serves 4
Eggplant Sauce
- 2/3 cups vegetable oil
- 1 medium eggplant, cut into 3/4-inch dice
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chopped peeled tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 6 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped oregano
- Heat up the oil in a large saucepan and fry the eggplant on medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until nicely brown. Drain off as much oil as you can and discard it -- the safest way to do this is to scoop out the eggplant to a plate using a slotted spoon, then pour off the oil into a bowl before added the eggplant back in. You can save the oil to fry lamb chops or eggs in tomorrow.
- Add the tomato paste to the pan and stir with the eggplant. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, water, salt, sugar and oregano and cook for a further 5 minutes to get a deep-flavored sauce. Set aside; warm it up when needed.
- 6 ears of corn
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons butter, diced
- 7 ounces feta, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper
- Remove the leaves and "silk" from each ear of corn, then chop off the pointed top and stalk. Use a sharp knife to shave off the kernels -- either stand each ear upright on its base and shave downward, or lay each ear on its side on a cutting board to slice off the kernels. You want to have 1 1/4 pounds kernels.
- Place the kernels in a medium saucepan and barely cover them with the water. Cook for 12 minutes on a low simmer. Use a slotted spoon to lift the kernels from the water and into a food processor; reserve the cooking liquid.
- Process them for quite a few minutes, to break as much of the kernel case as possible. Add some of the cooking liquid if the mixture becomes too dry to process.
- Now return the corn paste to the pan with the cooking liquid and cook, while stirring, on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to mashed potato consistency. (Be aware that if you have a lot of liquid left in the pan, it can take a while to cook down the polenta, and it will sputter. Consider holding back some or all of the liquid. Alternately, if you like the consistency after processing, you can skip to step 5.)
- Fold in the butter, the feta, salt and some pepper and optionally cook for a further 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

For tomorrow i will be serving the eggplant recipe on the cover of his book Plenty, and this one will be on my next week menus!! Can't wait, YUMMY!!

Oh yum! I made this tonight for book club and it was a big hit. Who knew polenta was so easy and delicious. Confession, I used frozen sweet organic corn from Trader Joe's.

This was divine! I did not use that much Feta: just about one ounce or so for two of us. The eggplant tomato sauce is spectacular.

I made a vegan version of the polenta by using dairy free margarine and replacing feta with 1tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (for the cheesy flavour). Yum loved it and recommending the above recipe to friends and family.

I've been making this fresh corn polenta for a couple of years now and everyone loves it. Last night we had it with platters of Johnny Cakes, Bacon and fresh Tomatoes. Summer!!!
8 months ago Lynn Antone
Wondering if this is allowed to sit will it become thick enough to slice???
9 months ago Lisa Wehr
Would it be possible to cook the ears whole and then cut off the kernels and process them? I know it wouldn't come out the same weight, but it seems easier to do than than cook the kernels and fish them out with a slotted spoon.

I've never tried it, but it would probably work -- you may need to add splashes of the cooking liquid while processing. Alternately, rather than fishing out the kernels, you can also just strain the kernels over a bowl, reserving the broth in case you want to add any back in.
9 months ago crabby Q
Made this last night. Delish!! We licked our plates clean. I used 1.5 cups of water to cook the kernels and added the whole amount back, but prob could have used less, as it took awhile to cook down. And used half the butter. Was still very rich and yummy.

I made this twice last week with fresh vegetables from my garden. As long as fresh corn is available, I will never again use dried polenta. This had such a wonderful, sweet corn flavor! The second time I made it I topped it with crispy fried scallions, toasted almond pieces and some lime zest. I then drizzled a small amount of sriracha marinade I had made for chicken skewers over the polenta. It was a delicious confluence of east meets mediterranean. The possibilities are endless.

made this the other day was amazing!!!

Normally I think of polenta with a tomato sauce as being a heavy, winter-time dish. It was nice to see this fresh, summer version highlighting seasonal produce. I will definitely be returning to this recipe throughout the summer.
10 months ago iflamm
I made this today with frozen corn out of necessity - it worked! Instead of the eggplant sauce, I served Food 52's Swearing Like A Sailor Stuffed Eggplant over the polenta. Excellent!
over 1 year ago cookbookchick
I made this yesterday with small ears of corn that were very sweet and not starchy, so based on comments posted here, I cut the water to 1 1/2 cups. Worked perfectly! I also weighed the corn as I stripped the ears to get the required amount. We ate the leftover ears for dinner. Tonight I will finish off the polenta with the butter and cheese, reheat the eggplant sauce I also made yesterday, and we will feast.
over 1 year ago Nuala
Could I prep the polenta to step 3 ahead of time and pick it up at step 4 after my guests arrive? I worry about the polenta sitting for a while affecting the texture, but if that's not the case it would be wonderful to do as much in advance as possible!
over 1 year ago
Kristen Miglore
Kristen is the Senior Editor of Food52
Yes, you could definitely do that, although cooking down the puree in step 4 can be the most time-consuming part (depending on how much liquid you add back). I think you'd also be fine doing step 4 in advance. You may just need to add in a bit more liquid as you reheat, and adjust the seasoning to taste. Hope you like it!
over 1 year ago EmmaC
This recipe is so delicious! I substituted eggplant with sauteed shitake mushrooms. Instead of creating the sauce, I added a bit of tomato paste to the corn polenta. I also did not have to use any cooking liquid in the polenta reduction. It turned out delicious! Definitely going in my "go-to dish" list.
over 1 year ago Mjhanlon
This is a fabulous summer side especially with very fresh sweet corn. I sliced the eggplant lengthwise and brushed generously with EV olive oil and baked at 450 for about 25 minutes and then diced and followed rest of the recipe.
over 1 year ago mommysinthekitchen
5 ears of corn yielded less than a pound. nevertheless i followed suggestions from comments and added only a tad of the cornwater back after processing. the consistency was perfect, but i actually found the polenta to be too sweet! anyone else?
over 1 year ago pixielated
I had 3 ears of corn and a 1/2 cup of dried polenta in my pantry, so I decided to use this recipe as a basis for using them both up. First, I prepared the dried polenta with a couple cups of water, stirring for about an hour, like my grandma used to do. I poured that polenta into a bowl, and used the same pot to prepare the fresh corn with these instructions. After pureeing the cooked corn, I simply mixed it together with the prepared polenta, added my salt, butter and cheese, and voila! Super creamy, super sweet. Thanks for the idea to use fresh! I think I'll always mix these two from now on...
over 1 year ago lschmoyer
This was a terrific way to use super fresh veggies. My corn was very fresh and juicy, so I didn't add any water back before cooking to thicken. I can't wait to make this again!
Like another user, my eggplant soaked up more oil than I expected. Is there a trick or technique for preventing eggplant from absorbing so much oil? Perhaps warming the oil to a higher temperature?
about 1 year ago Cathy Gordon
You can coat it with egg white.
over 1 year ago sparklingsapphire
I found that some of the amounts were way off in the recipe. I weighed my corn kernels and had more like 2 1/2 lbs. from 6 ears, not 1 1/4. My ears were on the large side, but I can't imagine how small they'd have to be to yield only 1 1/4 lbs. Secondly, since I had so much corn, I increased the water to ~4 cups. After pureeing, my corn was so liquidy that I returned it to the pot without any of the cooking liquid and it took a full HOUR of simmering to thicken to the point of being edible.
Up until the point when it took quadruple the time expected to cook the polenta, everything else came to gether quickly and easily. I decreased both the butter and cheese a bit, and it turned out delicious, and was great and unique way to use fresh summer corn, eggplant, and tomatoes. I'll definitely make it again, although with some major adjustments next time.
over 1 year ago JORJ
I had a similar problem when I tried to thicken my corn... I ended up giving up and just deciding it was corn soup... pretty good anyway! Then I made pasta and tossed that with the topping instead. I wonder if it is about the starch content -- the corn I had was super sweet and I wonder if the corn they use in this is starchier...

Thanks for your comments -- I just added a note to the recipe about this step, so that hopefully more people can avoid the extended stirring phase!
over 1 year ago Cassi Shindelbower
Polenta...Eggplant... two of my favorite things! What a delicious, fresh recipe. I used half the butter, and half the cheese in the polenta- but added just a pinch of red chili flakes and a couple of cloves of garlic to the Eggplant sauce. MMM
over 1 year ago rederin
This was delicious. Really wonderful. I loved the polenta, and the sauce. I do have to say the recommended water amount was way too much, but I didn't weigh the kernels, so that could have been the problem. I just let it boil down a bit, and it was fine, just took longer than expected. Next time I would use maybe half the cheese, but that is a personal preference. The dish is very rich, but the upside is that it made us eat smaller portions! I served it with a link of spicy Italian sausage, and would have been just as happy without that. It definitely stands on its own.
over 1 year ago avimom
Made the eggplant sauce last week and froze until last night. I served it over rigatoni for last-minute guests and it was a big hit. I used fresh tomatoes that weren't too sweet, so I added a touch more sugar. The sauce froze very well. I will be making another batch this week if more eggplants come my way.

I made this last night and it blew my friend's mind. Pure, delectable garden goodness. The flavor of the polenta is so fresh and sweet that it's almost overwhelming. The eggplant sauce anchors it and brings it home. Brilliant.
over 1 year ago Monique pancake
After Betsy made this for me last night I made it for my husband tonight. I used less butter and less cheese but added some parmasean cheese to the polenta. Fabulous! He loved it!
over 1 year ago Supriya
Delicious! I made this for friends last night (I had planned on making something entirely different until I saw this recipe at 4 p.m.!) and they LOVED it. A little too unhealthy for me to make on a regular basis, but it's perfect for dinner parties. For an evening at home, I'd consider making the polenta without so much butter and cheese and top it with a simple saute of whatever veggies I have at home.
over 1 year ago Supriya
I made this again, but this time made a healthier variation, as I didn't want to fry anything. I basically made a ratatouille of sorts--onion, tomato, eggplant, chard, leek and fennel--and cooked it with a bit of white wine until it broke down into something that resembled the consistency of the original. I also left out most of the feta from the original, and added only 1 tablespoon on butter to the polenta. It's definitely less decadent than the original, but for us, it was a lighter weekday dish. Still delicious, though!
8 months ago Supriya
I made it yet again--and differently again! As someone else suggested, I roasted the eggplant instead of frying, and also used a package of cremini mushrooms and a green pepper as I only had a small eggplant. Then I followed the rest of the recipe, though I added only 1.5 tbsp of butter and subbed in goat cheese. Yum!

kitchenwlittleb -- I haven't tried this with an immersion blender, but it would probably work pretty well. Like you said, I'm guessing it would just leave some chunks, but that could be good!

I have some great caramelized corn kernels I sliced off corn we grilled, but not enough for this recipe. However, I also have a tube of premade polenta. How can I substitute?

Kristen Miglore
Kristen is the Senior Editor of Food52
(]Celia[) (cool user name, by the way!) -- I don't think I would try to combine those two in the food processor -- you'd probably just end up with a gooey paste and lose the pure corn flavor. But you could try a mini version of this recipe by simply pureeing the caramelized corn kernels with a little water.
over 1 year ago (]Celia[)
Thanks Kristen! I wound up going for it, but I used an immersion blender and didn't blend very much after I'd added the grilled corn. It worked well, so I thought I'd share in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation. I love the texture imparted by the corn kernels and the little chunks of feta!
over 1 year ago kitchenwlittleb
For the polenta, could you use an immersion blender with the corn in the cooking liquid? I know that this would mean a chunkier polenta, but would it turn too much into mush?

Salzburg Travel Guide
Why? The hills (or rather mountains) around Salzburg, as
well as the city itself, are indeed alive with the sound of music.
But if you travel to Salzburg you will find this Austrian
chocolate-box city is also a visual delight, its opulent Baroque
castles, palaces, concert halls and churches a feast for the eye
and the soul.
When? Salzburg experiences a long, beautiful summer lasting from Easter through to mid-October, but the most popular months for a holiday in Salzburg are July and August, when the main festivals take place. Obviously, though, these are also the most crowded months when tourists throng the streets. Winter brings winter sports enthusiasts into the city on their way to or from the ski slopes.
Who for? Any classical music-lover worth his or her salt should not miss a holiday in Salzburg, hometown of Mozart, but the city is also a haven for romantics who will revel in the scenery, architecture and lyrical setting.
More info: If you are planning a holiday in Salzburg make sure you 'know before you go' and consult our Salzburg travel guide for a detailed overview of the city and information about the major attractions. The guide is updated regularly and can be printed out to take with you.
Salzburg in Austria © Austrian National Tourist Office
Until 1816 Salzburg was a city-state, independent of the Hapsburgs and ruled by powerful prince-archbishops. It is situated on the northern border of Austria, 70 miles (113km) southeast of Munich, in a picturesque setting surrounded by mountains. Mozart was born here and the city's fascination with its most famous son is best demonstrated during the Salzburg Festival, which presents world-class performances of opera, drama and concerts each summer. Even the non-musically minded will find it difficult to avoid Mozart's impression on the town - his image is on every postcard and chocolate box and both his birthplace and family house are now museums offering detailed insight into his life and work.
The city is also the home town of Baroque and the south side of the river is a Baroque masterpiece of charming churches, squares, houses and fountains. The original buildings were cleared in the late 1500s by Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau in order to create a 'German Rome'. All sights are within walking distance from the spacious old city (Altstadt), which is now largely pedestrianised. A few miles to the south of the city are the historic towns of Hallein and Werfen and to the west are the lakes of Salzberger, which are especially worth visiting during the spring and summer when the wild flowers are out.

In today's Caps Clips the subject of who was the best player to play his entire career for the Caps, and in that discussion, the Bengt Gusstafsson's time in the WHA came up when he played for...
A great way to pay tribute to those WHA roots
Today's edition of the Countdown looks at the two players who have worn number nine for this franchise.
You'll have to look far earlier than the Panthers and Lightning when seeking the historical genesis of professional pucks in the land of palm trees, space launches & Mickey Mouse.
The rise of the WHA in 1972 pushed the legendary AHL Barons franchise out of Cleveland, all the way down to Jacksonville, where it would ultimately be laid to rest.
Despite making the playoffs 6 times in eight seasons, the Atlanta Flames were ultimately forced to head north for Calgary.
In honour of the Rebel League's 40th Anniversary, and inspired in part by Ben's history post, I thought I'd repost my 2010 article on how the changes to professional hockey inspired by the WHA continue to reverberate to this day. Forgive the wacky formatting: website changes will do that.
Would a second coming of the WHA have access to hockey markets and competitive arenas to create a successful league?
Sports fans in Seattle may be getting excited at the prospect of getting the Sonics "back". But in truth, they'll never get the actual Sonics franchise back. Just ask hockey fans in Winnipeg.

The Death of Windows XP
Microsoft has now ended its support for Windows XP, which means that a security sinkhole will likely open and gradually widen, threatening hundreds of millions of PCs worldwide in homes, companies, government agencies and schools. Along with the Y2K bug, Windows XP's support termination is one of the computer industry's most publicised -- and most ignored -- deadlines, towards which many business and IT managers have taken a curiously casual attitude. The implications could be dire for those organizations that continue to use Windows XP, a decrepit operating system Microsoft.

Very erotic scripted scenes in athletic clothes and (what else?) jocks. But when they stopped talking and just action with music background I lost all interest.
We were amazed at this movie - the first of four episodes had absolutely no talk at all - just music. Totally unerotic.
I really like dirty talk. I'd rather listen to a girl talk dirty to me than watch her fuck or suck cock. The hostess on this DVD, Alysse, understands the concept and does talk dirty. That was just what I wanted this DVD for - just there wasn't much of it. The other girls were not into it, the male coach would tell them "say cunt" and she would say "cunt" - none of them (didn't watch every one) really seemed into it. And Alysse when it came to her own segment - the last - interrupted her talking with enthusiastic cocksucking. That's OK, but cocksucking you can find anywhere and dirty talk is unfortunately very hard to find.
I would have kept (bought my copy) this movie except that every time you put it on, you have to go through the entire warning statements, plus the phone sex ads, which I like, except that you have to see them EVERY time, you can't skip, you can't fast forward it. Boring and annoying.
There was no anal fucking in this movie. There was a fair amount of dirty talking. Alana Evans was great. I'd definitely like to see more of her. Nikita had a great accent. All the girls were into, or seemed to be into, what they were doing. But a lesbian scene? Why call a movie "anal fuckers" if there isn't any anal fucking?
The real test of a porn video is if you can jack off to it. Unfortunately, this video is not jackable. It just isn't hot. You have to listen to the girls get asked what their favorite color is, how old they were when they first had sex, what turns them on about a guy, and then they get naked (they have no problem with that) and play with their pussies a little. I wish the interviewers had, say, offered them 10 dildos of different sizes and asked them to pick one insert it and masturbate, or had them fuck a total stranger for the first time (not knowing they would be asked to do this), just something even a little bit taboo. I'm a pervert, I guess, but I'd like to see them at least a little bit embarassed or their limits stretched.
This is the best movie I've seen in a long time. There were 4 scenes and the couples were really into it, they were not the usual porn people who never saw each other before the day of the shoot, and never would again. There was some hot couple interaction. The guy would slap the girl on the face, and you could see how she liked it. The music really enhanced it too - generally a real classy as well as erotic production. The negatives were that there did not seem to be any link between the scenes, and for the life of me I can't tell why it was called "Stuntgirl". No stunts, anyway. Produced by JackTheZipper and I'm looking forward to see something else by him.
We rented this DVD because it had "talking" in the title, and we like dirty talk. The plot was lame and the acting terrible. The saving grace was that Debi Diamond was fantastic. She was really into the sex and definitely not acting.
This video was not what I expected it to be. There were three female friends who after failing to sell lingerie at home parties decided to try out the phone sex business. Each of them starts a conversation with a client and then we see the client doing things to her. The best part was that each of them did look at the camera and talk to the camera rather than to the guy with her. The bad part was that I didn't want to see more routine scenes of girls sucking dick and wished there were more talking instead of boy-girl scenes. And "Little Girls" - someone just made that up.
This DVD was a disappointment. It has nothing more than scenes from (I think) six of her movies. The movies are not even identified. Nothing to help you understand who she was, what kind of sex she liked, nothing, just unintroduced and unlabeled excerpts. I've seen much better restrospectives for Annie Sprinkle and Seka.
This is not really bukkake - for me, Bukkake is the girl clothed, the guys coming all over her in her clothes. This is more of a gang bang, 4 girls and 12 guys. What made this a hit for me is that all 12 guys are jacking, all around the bed, and constantly talking to each other. This was much hotter than the girls, who were pretty much non-entities, not shown much except for an occasional face shot or body shot. So if you're like me and like to see 12 hard jacking guys talking dirty to each other and the girls, you'll like it. If you're 100% straight, you might pass on it.

Quite the black eye. One thing DC has excelled at, and I think has really helped keep people coming back to the top books, is keeping a regular schedule. This is just not good. Imagine if JL had delays like this to start off with the first few issues. DC woulda been crucified.
Not sure why people that hated the first issue are mad about it being delayed
But yeah, Cassaday....come on bruh
Check out my webcomic:
Rival Angels
The #1 Wrestling Webcomic
I get that Cassady is a slow artist, but is he really THAT slow? Marvel should just take him off if it's going to cause that much of a problem.
They should have Cassady split the book with Mayhew or something.
Or bring in someone to exclusively do the background work, like Norton apparently does for McKelvie.

Currently reading She-Hulk, Deadpool, Swamp Thing, Ms. Marvel
Probation: Ghost Rider, Loki: LoA, Secret Avengers
Looking forward to All-New Ultimates, Flash Gordon and Doctor Mirage.
I'm sorry, I think Marvel is just gonna have to take Cassaday off this book. By the time the sixth issue hits, we'll be in in the second half of 2013 at this rate.
I love Cassaday but I have to agree, with the second and now third issues delayed, Marvel needs to pull the plug and get someone else on here asap. They can do their usual "Oh he was just for the first 3 issues all the time" thing if they want (even though they said creative teams were on for the long haul).
Bring in Opena, Coipel or Mark Brooks (who has been doing some stunning stuff lately). Just don't let this book become Astonishing X-Men part 2.
"Cyclops was RIGHT!!
contrary to popular belief, cassaday isn't that slow of an artist. planetary delays were down to ellis, and astonishing was down to wheedon.
don't be suprised if this is remender, not cassaday.
"Cyclops was RIGHT!!
i wouldn't be surprised if Cassaday was replaced after the first arc concludes.
I agree with those who say that Cassaday needs to be replaced. There's just no excuse for there to be this many delays this early on the series with a monthly release schedule. It'd be one thing if it was bi-weekly but there's only one issue a month. While I'm certainly not gonna drop the book, Marvel better get their act together soon because fan loyalists aren't gonna be able to be able to support the book if the delays make everyone else drop it.
Holding out for a Peter/Miles team up.
So 3 is delayed now-- is that what I'm reading? Has 2 slipped further as well?
This is crazy! Part of the problem will also be that the book won't escape it's hype and events may be referenced in other books before UA gets the chance to pull the trigger on them. It's crazy.
I still wish we knew the reason for the delays. At least for some peace of mind.
I know Kevin Nichols through a guy that knows a gal. Small world!
If nihilism didn't take some delight in destruction one might suspect nihilists were an unnaturally morbid sort.

I started playing lacrosse in high school and continued to play in college at Sonoma state University. I was an assistant coach at Sonoma State and I am now an assistant coach at Norwich University. I primarily work with the offense.
Norwich Lacrosse is a division III program in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC). More information on the team can be found on the team's homepage.
I have been training in Aikido for about 10 years. Aikido is a non-competitive non-violent Japanese Martial Art.
When I started Aikido I was looking for a way to stay in shape and to study balance and movement. Aikido has provided exactly what I was looking for and so much more. I plan to continue with my training indefinitely.
I am currently training at Vermont Aikido in Burlington.
I began my training in Bozeman at Big Sky Aikido and then moved to Los Angeles where I continued my training at Musubi Dojo.
I have been painting and drawing for over 15 years and I finally have started to accumulate a small collection. I have done around 50 paintings but most of them I have given as gifts. On this page you will find more information about my history as an artist as well as a few sample works.

3950 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8911936.093067 -115.177832
Sun-Thu 10am-8pm
Fri-Sat 10am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Paradise
Get up close and personal with over 2,000 marine animals at this impressive exhibit, where you can see everything from jellyfish to sea turtles to golden crocodiles, and of course, the sharks. One-time adult admission is $18 but an annual pass is only $40, so if you think you'll come again, go for that.
was well worth the money; awesome tanks and much to see; just as if you were in the wild with an aquarium tunnel over your head; great price and tours available and much variety.
Not worth $18 and Ashley Lucero needs people skill – Given that this aquarium is in the Mandalay Bay, I figure it should not be too bad, especially they are charging $18 for it! Oh boy, were we in for a huge disappointment. I could not believe they would charge $18 for it. It just felt like such a rip off that I contacted Ashley Lucero at the Aquarium. The experience talking to her was even worse than the aquarium experience itself!
Ashley had an agenda talking to me. She was not at all there to hear my opinion. Her agenda was to tell me how wonderful the aquarium was and that I should have enjoyed it. If I did not, it was probably my fault.
Ashley asked me several times how much time I spent on the tour, which to this date puzzles me. Seems to me that she is setting up a trap with this question. If I said it was too long in her opinion, that I obviously had enjoyed my tour. If I said it was very short, that she probably will tell me that I did not take the time to appreciate everything yet.
She also asked me what my expectation were for the aquarium multiple times. And I kept telling her that I did not have specific animals or shows in mind, but an aquarium that charges me $18 should have at least some animals that make me feel like it was worth the $18. A few minutes later, Ashley would ask the same questions again. I told her the same thing. This went on a few times. It was a completely frustration experience. She was getting me upset on the phone. You would think someone in her position would have better PR skills?!
At the end, I did not hear she even said that "I am sorry your experience was not up to your expectation, but there is nothing I can do" . She just kept telling me that I should have enjoyed the aquarium, that it was really my fault. Unbelievable.
Good Time – Had lots of fun very educational and great activity for the family and for a good price!
What an awesome place – We had alot of fun here looking at all the sharks and other fish. It was so neat. We enjoyed ourselves. I was suprised at how much stuff there was to see. Then we went to pole worx for some pole dancing lessons I couldn't stop laughing.
Worth the visit – It's no Sea World but still really really cool. My daughter was able to touch the sting rays . The jelly fish were amazing and so was everything. So worth going to if you have kids of any age.
A must see for any marine life enthucist – I had a few hours to spend so I checked out aquarium. It was time well spent and a great relaxing exprience before flight back to LA. Next time I will spend more time here than at the tables.
Nice Small Aquarium – A good diversion when in Vegas, especially on hot summer days. The setting is very nice, and the small aquarium will not wear you out. A nice display of sharks and other marine life. A good place for families, which is becoming more rare in Vegas.
Arr. – Great way to see an aquarium, with the sunken ship wreck theme and all. Sure we've all seen sharks and underwater fishies before, but this is Vegas baby; they do it different here! Comes with free audio tour and everything.
Spend an hour exploring an ancient temple that has been slowly claimed by the sea--Vegas-style, that is.
– Overview
Feeling parched? This immersion into an undersea world should do the trick. One of the city's newest aquatic attractions, Shark Reef contains 75 species of sharks, tropical and freshwater fish, reptiles, marine invertebrates and rays. The largest is a 12-foot long nurse shark. Ultimately, Shark Reef hopes to have nearly 100 different species swimming over, under, around and through the exhibit.
The attraction offers a petting area, along with a the tunnel directly through the aquarium to give you that deep sea feeling. Watch out for the cool, golden crocodile that likes to stare people down. There's even a section that allows for "walking on water," complete with a display underneath featuring a fake treasure chest and plastic (we hope) skeleton.
FREE is pretty EXPENSIVE – While there is no doubt that the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay is well worth viewing, being large, beautiful, and interesting; it is most definetely NOT FREE at $15.00 per adult, and $6.00 or so per child to get in. Did we pay? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely!!!! Would I do it again? You BET!!!!

"I gave this to my daughter entering High School as a Freshman as a little back to school gift. I put her name and her school name on it (just the acronym due to lack of space) She loved it! I wish TinyPrints would offer more sitckers that allow this. It was hard to find the right one."
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"
"We used these for my sons classroom valentines, he Loves dinosaurs and isn't really into Valentines day until he saw all the candy - I stuck them on a bag of heart candies instead of attaching a valentine card and it was so much easier! No tape, no signing his name, and so him! Loved these!"
"The quality was great, it didn't look cheap or like something I printed at home like others that I've ordered from other companies. Colors were vibrant and looked just like the picture, I would definitely be order more int he future"
"These are super cute. We are using them to stick on little treat bags for our daughter's birthday treats for her preschool class.. We had then printed to read Lily's 2nd Birthday! They are great!"

The cold weather in Doha (in the 60s) got the ladies layering during their matches at last week's Qatar Total Open.
Leggings: Maria Sharapova in Nike's Tight Capris (available in New Blue and Logan Berry, $50); Venus Williams in EleVen. Venus lost to Dominika Cibulkova 3-6, 3-6. Masha took home her second title of the year.
Jelena wears the Reebok Pro Tradition Jacket. The third seed lost to the tattooed Li Na 3-6, 4-6 in the quarterfinals.
Still sans sponsor: Polish teenager Agnieszka Radwanska, now in the Top 20, fell to Sharapova in the semis 4-6, 3-6 (the Russian got to avenge that shocking second round loss at the 2007 U.S. Open). And yes — you should not adjust your TV set; she wore those three different outfits on the court this week. A sponsorship deal has GOT to be in the works. Anyone out there with tips? E-mail me.
Dominika Cibulkova wore purple stripes from Lacoste, and lost in the quarters to Radwanska.
Reebok: The troubled Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo wears the Pro Vision Seamless Jacket, $59.95. She lost in the first round to Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-7 (7), 5-7.
Shahar Peer wore a white track jacket from Reebok (likely the BOBO Full Zip, $64.99) during her historic week. She lost 1-6, 3-6 to Na in the third round.

STROUDSBURG, Pa.—The murder trial of a former pastor accused of killing his two wives is continuing in a northeastern Pennsylvania courtroom.
Arthur Schirmer is charged with homicide in the 2008 death of Betty Schirmer in the Poconos. He's charged with killing her and staging a car accident to cover it up.
The Pocono Record of Stroudsburg reports ( http://bit.ly/RSJMH3) Betty Schirmer's son, Nate Novak, broke down on the witness stand Monday when he saw photos of his mother connected to life support.
Novak says he rushed to the hospital when he heard about the crash and that Arthur Schirmer seemed "calm and relaxed." She was later taken off life support.
Schirmer is charged separately in the 1999 death of his first wife, Jewel. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes believes Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj needs to toughen up to be a success in English football.
United boss David Moyes called for more protection from officials for the 18-year-old winger following the 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
However, former United striker Hughes reckons Januzaj needs to learn to stand up for himself on the pitch.
"A manager will always protect his players and he is an outstanding talent and will be a top United player for many years to come," said Hughes ahead of United's visit to the Britannia Stadium for Wednesday's Capital One Cup quarter-final.
"If David feels the boy needs protection that is why he has given the response he did, but you have to let kids stand on their two feet and get on with it.
"He seems to garner a lot of fouls and a lot of decisions. In our game (at Old Trafford in October) he came on as sub and got about five fouls in a very short space of time. At the time I didn't think they were fouls."
Hughes also believes that Januzaj can learn a lot from United veteran Ryan Giggs.
"Ryan was playing in the Lancashire A and B leagues and had to go to the likes of Marine away," said Hughes.
"When you are a 14-year-old kid coming up against men you learn to deal with that early and I don't think it is a bad thing.
"I would imagine he (Giggs) is mentoring him now because he's been in the same place."

After talking to MuchMusic.com about his new video for Vegas Girl while backstage at the 2012 MMVAs, Conor Maynard has dropped the follow up to his chart topping debut single Can't Say No. Shot in New York City, Conor spends the video for Vegas Girl searching for a girl he met on the street, while gettings lots of help from his Mayniacs.
Maynard may be regarded as the next Justin Bieber, but make not mistake about it – the British teen has crafted a sound all his own. Infusing Vegas Girl with an almost dub step and deep bass sound more commonly found in his home country, the new single features Conor showing off his impressive pipes and his ability to write catchy and mature pop tracks. Working with Pharrell Williams, Ne-Yo, and Rita Ora on his debut album, Maynard is on track to release an album full of R'n B infused pop tracks that speak to the 20-something audience. Expect big things from Conor Maynard.
Conor Maynard's debut album Contrast is set to drop on July 30. Check out Conor talking about the new album backstage at the 2012 MMVAs and watch his brand new video for Vegas Girl below.

I thought I would share this place I found online. I haven't ordered yet one, so, I can't actually vouch for it, but, I am going to order one.
If you suscribe to get their newsletter, they send you a 10% off code for your first order.
My filter can't be bought in a regular HD, or Lowes, so, I have to pay for it at the heating place, which is 35 bucks. Here it is 26, plus, 10% off.
It sure is the right price. A better price at least. And, they got the size, it is a 16x26x5 Lennox. I have been using a shop vac on this same one for 2 years! The inside is wearing thin, lol, and probably not doing a darn thing. I was ready to take it to a car wash. I bet no one, has used a furnace filter as long as I have. I turned the furnace on today, and even though I used the shop vac in the ducts and registers, it smell dusty in here, the cat was coughing. First he was turning blue and shaking, now, started to cough. He sits in a box by the register in the diningroom. It is nice when you have company for dinner. Everyone looks in this box, and there is sleeping a 23 year old cat, just waiting for the heat to come on to warm his old bones. The younger cat, Thomas, says to let him freeze. But, I tell Bob, " I won't let you freeze or cough." So it is time. To break down and get a new filter.
I got this small health problem, where I am supposed to stay in temps above 51F, or else... When, it got down to 51F in here, and I started getting dizzy, ( don't go there), and saw Bob, turning blue, I knew... I had to do it. I had to turn it on. Very reluctantly so. I hate it when I hear that furnace turn on. I hear money being made for the gas company. It sounds like their cash register to me.
But, if I don't do it. It can be bad. I got frost bite one year on my finger, nearly losing it. And, I had gloves on yet. Frost bite. It is unheard of in my area.
I got a cold antibody Hemolytic Anemia. My red blood cells pop in my bone marrow when I get too cold. I am always checking the temp, to the point where people think I am a weatherman. The gas company thinks and actually, said to me, that my gas bill is too high for one person, and a son. It is better than the alternative.
The high efficiency, expensive replaceable filters can be too restrictive esp when dirty.
I didn't know their was such a thing Steve! I was just kidding, The cheapest I found mine due to the odd size was on that site. No one carries it.
My wife and I also have a cat and a dusty house, and we have yet to have a filter last more than three months whether running AC or heat.
I have thought about doing that but, when you add up the money spent on the big one, then, the cheapies, it is still the amount of buying the one for 35 at the heating place. So, I might as well, just send for the 26 dollar one, and call it good.
I have inspected some houses and saw all kinds of weird things in people's furnaces, lol. I might start taking pictures for the fun of it. It isn't too dusty anymore, I figure just being turned on. I don't have air, the furnace is on only for heat. And, boy, did it cold fast. brrrrrr... This filter is supposed to be replaced every 6 months, this one is on borrowed time.
If you want to CLEAN your air, spring for an electric, electrostatic air cleaner. Builds into the ductwork, really works.
Some have automated wash down cycles. Otherwise even the 1$ filter can be washed a few times easily.
If you have cats, get a house with radiant heat.
If you stacked multiple 1" filters, you could probably just take the outside (air inlet) one off, drop the rest down, and install a new one on the top. The first time, see how 'deep' in the stack the dirt went, and keep using those that aren't bad, and put the new ones on the top of the stack.

I wouldn't stack filters. Most 1" pleated ones are already restrictive when new. Stacking them up means now the pressure drop is 5x worse. This means several things:
- A/C coils can freeze up
- heat pump/AC efficiency decreases
- gas/electric furnace might trip on high outlet temperature (less air flow means more temperature rise for fixed BTU/hr or kw)
- variable speed air handlers will try to increase blower speed to reach target air flow (and probably never reach it). This means a louder system, uses more power, and wears the blower out faster
The thick pleated filters are superior as they have less pressure drop than a single 1" pleated filter even with them being several times thicker. This is because they have a much greater filtration area. This also means that they can be used longer and still have an acceptable pressure drop.
If you did stack them, you'd not want to use real high performance ones!
With your health issues, an electrostatic one might be worth looking into. But, check out what, if any, ozone it may produce...that can be a nasty irritant, which I'm sure you don't need.

Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
I looked at HD to buy them to stack just one, 1inch next to the 16/25/4, and I measured the opening on the furnace against the measurement of the one inch. It won't fit. If you were to measure your filter, as I did in the store, ( to the amusement of a man watching) you would see that the 16/25/4 is not exactly, a 4 inch... the 1inch filter is not exactly a one-inch.
So, it blew that.
Back to ordering it. Besides, I wasn't really saving much at all.... it came to about the same, as buying it at the heating place. So, this way, I can save a few bucks online. I will do that. It just is not a typical size.
Thank you by the way, for thinking of my health issues, most people don't, and, I appreciate it alot, when someone, anyone does.

I have just been told that at current exchange rates a World subscription through FindMyPast's Australian site appears to be cheaper. I am awaiting advice as to whether both sites really give access to the same records.

Feedback received from LostCousins:
Judy, thanks for forwarding that email. Findmypast haven't officially launched the World subscription at their UK site - you'll notice there's nothing about it on their news page or in their blog - so it's inevitable that there are one or two glitches, and indeed the aim of a 'soft' launch is to iron them out before sending out press releases etc.
However if you follow the link I provided you can see clearly what each subscription provides. It's many years since I've had any credits for findmypast, so I wasn't aware of the issue re credits until another member pointed it out last week, but I suspect very few people will be affected, since it's fairly unusual to have both a Full subscription and credits.
Currently the cost of a World subscription through the UK site is indeed about $4 more than through the Australian site, but it wasn't the price that got me excited about the fact that it was finally possible to buy this subscription at findmypast.co.uk... it's the fact that one can still search the UK records using the old-style search that most of us are very familiar with, and which I believe is far more effective than the filtering approach used for the records from the rest of the world.
Filtering may be the way of the future, but given the widespread antipathy to the new FamilySearch site, which uses the same system, I believe that most researchers prefer the more traditional system where you start by deciding what records you want to search.
By all means quote my comments if you feel they will be useful for others.

Cigar Diary: The Heart and Soul of Cigars
From the Print Edition:
Air Sick, Jul/Aug 02
After a trip to Nicaragua last year, one of the most able tobacco men I know told me that some of the best Cuban cigars are made outside of Cuba. Of course, his statement was ironic, but a number of Cubans are growing superb tobacco from Cuban seed and making great cigars in the small Central American nation. I, too, was convinced of that fact after a trip there this year.
Names such as Padrón and Plasencia are not new to most of you. They, and their families, have been in Nicaragua for decades and have a reputation for making superb cigars. Their clans left Cuba in the early 1960s after the revolution and landed in the northwest corner of Nicaragua, where they've been growing tobacco ever since. A number of ambitious newcomers have also arrived, including a small platoon of tobacco experts from Cuba. Plantations and factories are bustling in such dusty two-horse towns as Estelí, Condega and Jalapa, where some of the best leaf and cigars I have seen in years are being produced.
Furthermore, many of these cigar men have an unbridled passion to make greater cigars every year. Part of their drive seems to come from the fact that they are no longer growing tobacco in Cuba. They want to prove to themselves and others that they can do as well, or even better, than their peers back in their former homeland. It's almost as if they want to show the world that there was more reason to leave Cuba than just politics. They want to believe that destiny may have something to do with their decision.
They don't bad-mouth the red-soil, tobacco fields of Cuba, or the talent of dedicated tobacco workers in Cuba's plantations, sorting houses and factories. They can be critical of the bad Cuban cigars they occassionally smoke, just like the rest of us, and they honestly want better circumstances for everyone in Cuba, particularly those working in tobacco. For them, tobacco, especially tabaco Cubano, is noble. They find truth in each perfect leaf and each well-made cigar from their former homeland. They have carried that obsession for the leaf to their adopted home.
If you spend any time in Nicaragua with the patriarch of the PadrÛn clan, Jose Orlando Padrón, it won't be long before he begins to speak about Cuba -- the great soil, the great climate, the great tobacco, the great people and the great food. As long as the conversation doesn't switch to politics, the 76-year-old tobacco man can talk for hours about the finer points of particular tobacco areas in the Vuelta Abajo. He also loves to talk about the quality of other crops, from citrus to beans to pigs. The latter is one of his favorite topics of conversation. He seems to eat pig for about every meal, prepared in every way imaginable. "This is not as good as what we used to eat in Cuba," he always says after tucking into another plate of pork. It is almost as if he wished to remind himself and everyone else about the richness of the Vuelta Abajo.
Padrón should know about such things. His family owned thousands of acres of prime tobacco land in the Vuelta Abajo before the revolution. They were big, beautiful plantations, the kind of fincas found in dreams, with hundreds of families living there and working the fields. They raised some of the best produce and livestock on earth.
Padrón loves to tell a story about his father, who spent his life growing tobacco in Cuba. As we sped down the Pan-American highway from the Padrón factory in Estelí on our way to some of their tobacco fields, Orlando's son Jorge and I were cramped into the backseat of their four-wheel-drive automobile. Orlando PadrÛn, in the front passenger seat, began his story.
"It was in the early 1950s," Orlando recalled, the interior of the car filling with spicy smoke from his Padrón 1964 Anniversario Piramide. "My father had a handshake with the Toraño family to sell his entire crop at a certain price, but one day just after the harvest, another tobacco dealer called him and offered him $10 a pound more. That was a hell of a lot of money then, but my father refused." In the back, young Jorge beamed with pride, even though he'd probably heard the story a thousand times.
Orlando paused for a moment, looked out through the windshield and took a drag from his cigar. He waited another second or two to add emphasis. "My father simply answered that the Padrón name was worth more than that and that the tobacco was already sold, even if it was for a much lower price."
Orlando looked out the windshield again and added, "And that's what the tobacco industry is about for me. Unfortunately, it's not like that now for many people, with all the lawyers and businessmen in our industry. But the tobacco is all about respect, respect for everyone from growers to consumers."
