Tampa >Food & Dining > Chart House Restaurant
7616 W Courtney Campbell Cswy, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360727.966025 -82.566647
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 11pm
Neighborhoods: Northwest
My wife wanted to surprise me for father's day so she booked us for a visit to Chart House in Tampa, Florida. She is from New Jersey and we have visited the Chart House on the Hudson river many times and enjoyed our visit, so she wanted the father's day to be a special day for all of us. To our surprise it was the worst dinner outing we have ever experienced! I spoke to the "master chef" at Chart House and the manager Brian. My wife and I chose from the "special menu" steak Oscar with crab meat and asparagus. What a joke! We received a heaping load of yellow mash potatoes with 3 small thin pieces of meat and 2 little pieces of crab shaving, 2 pieces of Asparagus all smothered in a yellow salty sauce. To top it all our salads were presented nicely, and then tossed, ½ the amount served while the rest was taken away! I told Brian his salad serving plate's enamels were worn out. And his server "Lin" lacked smile or adequate service etiquettes. Although I gave him $50 tip, I thought of it as his final tip from us. We even had to teach him you don't bring my grandson a 4 year old child his Sprite in a tall glass! Both the master chef and Brian genuinely apologized, and Brian said he is going to send me a card to have me return for a better service. Thanks for your generous gift card! I am returning it. I mentioned to Brian that this restaurant is located on a gold mind with a beautiful view and he should address these problems so that the customers would want to return again. There used to be another restaurant names Landry's. I went there once and never returned due to similar experience, so I hate to see Chart house go out of business like Landry's. Once again we enjoy the Chart House in New Jersey a lot. As we were leaving the restaurant, my wife asked me, "would you ever come back to this restaurant again?" I responded, absolutely not.
Run, Don't Walk, Somewhere Else! – I had eaten at Landry's in Pensacola years ago and was pleasantly surprised. But this place was a true disappointment. If they are going to charge such exorbitant prices, they should at least provide exceptional food. I went there for my birthday and ordered oysters and what they served was hardly an excuse to be called an oyster dish. Tiny little specs of almost unidentifiable things they might classify as oysters. Best bet, save your money, go somewhere else where you won't be robbed and that has good food.
Bad food...... – Ordered 2 Grooper fish and ships, soaked in oil, way under cooked bad tast afterwards..... really bad food.
Fantastic – My daughter and I recently visited Tampa and the driver taking us to our hotel suggested Landrys for seafood. He also gave us a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert. We had a lunch/dinner meal and it was wonderful. The waiter and staff were very informative and knew their menu. We took his advice and ordered what he suggested. Great choice! Location is good. We will return when in Tampa again. Thanks staff for a wonderful experience and great food!!
Great place for a wedding – We had our wedding at the Courtney Campbell Causeway location , June 14, 2008. The wedding was on the back outside terrace. The reception was split, food inside, bar outside. We choose a cocktail party, and the food was exceptional. Two chefs were present and commented on the quality of the freshness and the presentation. When the head of catering noticed the food we had ordered was disappearing quickly, she recommended some additions that could be added last minute and saved the day. Everyone who attended had nothing but accolades for the entire reception. And with 65 people , open bar and extravegent seafood buffet the bill ran under $5,000 ! Amazing.
Horrendous Atrocity of a Restaurant – This place is GOD AWFUL!!!! Stay far far away!! While the outside of the building and the water side view may seem appealing do not be fooled. As soon as you step inside you're greeted with dining decor reminscent of your local Picadilly. Our food (the broiled seafood platter and crab legs) were bland, cold, and overall disappointing. The server was obnoxious, trying to take our order every 2 seconds when clearly we weren't ready and then completely ignoring us when we did need something. And as if that's not bad enough, it was all exhorbitantly overpriced. Our bill was close to $200 for 2 people and while I am not at all cheap and am completely fine with paying for premium, quality food this was most certainly NOT premium or quality. It wasn't even marginally okay. I will never, ever, EVER be back. Save your money and go somewhere else!!
Worst Experience EVER! – I have frequented Landry's fo 5years and ALL service and food was great. Decided to spend a most significant even, daughters graduation with friends and family expecting the same service and good food. What a diaster to a special one in a lifetime occassion. Poor service, food was delivered cold and redelivered second time cold. An unforgetable disappointing night. I don't think you want to plan a a significant occassion here. Manager was apathetic to correcting situation...OVERALL a very poor experience
This S U C K S! – Terrible service and management didn't acknowledged the problem. We were over charged. Over all DON"T EVER COME TO THIS RESTAURANT EVER!
GO TO CATCH 23! 5 Star meal!!!!!!!
You would do better at Long John Silver's – When we asked the hotel clerk for a good seafood resturant she recommended this place and gace us a coupon for a free dessert. At the end of evening this was the best deal, hands down.
Our original waiter handed us off to another, lethally perky waitstaff.
The food is very ordinary. In fact my shrimp Po' Boy came with tiny shrimps, inedible limp onion rings and fries. When informed about the bad food our waiter said she was sorry but did do anything about it. The bill came to $81 (plus tip for indifferent service) for three people one of whom just had a house salad.
Diner beware!
Nice view is all – Arrived at 5 PM on a weekday. We asked to be seated in a quiet spot and was seated in the center of a crowded section. A long time passed before a waiter showed up. Then we had three different waiters and confusion with the food ordered and the beverages. We asked what the problem was, answer: ?we arrived at a bad time?. Poor service, average food, high prices and a nice view. When I complained to the manager, he said ?please come backed and I will make sure you get good service?. Thanks but no thanks.

Last update of the year.
In the last video update of the year Peter talks about last month's 46664 concert on South Africa, the long journey of the Big Blue Ball project and a night at the Led Zeppein concert at London's O2 Arena; which gave him his first trip to The Dome since working on OVO for the Millenium celebrations. We feature 'Exit Through You' and 'Whole Thing' from the forthcoming Big Blue Ball along with archive footage of the conception of 'Whole Thing' through the collaborations in The Workroom here at Real World.
Other distractions available on the site include Tina's latest posting which offers the chance to win a copy of a much-requested CD the MIT Award CD. This double CD (featuring songs from some of the artists whose music Peter has enjoyed and whose work has influenced him, as well as a selection of songs from Peters own catalogue) was specially created for the event in 2004 in which Peter was honoured by the Music Industry Trusts Award and was only given to those who attended the event, so its very special indeed.

You're Next
"Refreshingly breathless… feels like the wise-assed love-child of The Big Chill, Murder By Death, and Friday the 13th." — Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
Editor: Adam Wingard
Producers: Keith Calder, Jessica Wu, Simon Barrett, Kim Sherman
Screenplay: Simon Barrett
Photography: Andrew Droz Palermo
Production designer: Thomas S. Hammock
Costume designer: Emma Potter
Sound: Jeffrey A. Pitts
Music: Jasper Justice Lee, Kyle McKinnon, Mads Heldtberg
With: Sharni Vinson (Erin), Nicholas Tucci (Felix), Wendy Glenn (Zee), A.J. Bowen (Crispian), Joe Swanberg (Drake), Margaret Laney (Kelly), Amy Seimetz (Aimee), Ti West (Tariq), Rob Moran (Paul), Barbara Crampton (Aubrey)
Festivals: Toronto, Fantastic Fest 2011; San Francisco 2013
You're Next arrives on a positive critical wave from several key festivals. Kiwi audiences get a chance to savour its unsavoury delights ahead of a major US release. Horror hotshots Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S 1 & 2) deliver a taut, tight and consistently funny home-invasion thriller-cum-Agatha Christie mystery: animal-masked invaders force a colourful collection of siblings to fend for their lives and a family reunion goes horribly, murderously wrong. These professional horror geeks have cooked up their most confident concoction so far, nasty enough for jaded horror fans but also slyly amusing and accessible for those who generally watch scary movies through their fingers. They're immeasurably helped by an excellent ensemble made up of genre vets (Crampton, Bowen) and indie directors and actors (Swanberg, Seimetz, West), any of whom may or may not be brutally killed at any moment. And that's always satisfying. — Ant Timpson
"A delicious inversion of standard slasher tropes… laced with brilliantly outrageous dark humor, You're Next takes the typical slasher survivor girl and flips things on end by making her into a badass. Fuse a Friday the 13th movie with Home Alone and First Blood with a dash of Tomas Vinterberg's The Celebration and you're in the right neighborhood… The horror is horrific. The blood laid on thick. Every jump works. And yet this thing is also laugh out loud funny from start to finish…
This is the film that declares – and declares loudly – that Wingard isn't just an indie darling, that he is a director that can kick a mainstream audience's ass and make them fall in love with the experience." — Todd Brown, Twitch

With Harbin picking up her third win and third complete game of the tournament, sixth-seeded JSU beat fourth-seeded Murray State 2-1, which put the Gamecocks into Sunday's championship round.

Telluride residents are getting ready to proclaim their undying love for the amazing and honest President Obama once again. They will quickly tell you about obscure unproven accusations about GW and ignore the additional wars and crimes commited by the Obama administration.
The most mind boggling thing is that the Telluride lemmings will wake up on election day, snort a line of coke, stumble down to the voting booth and check every box that has a D next to it cause everyone knows that Democrats are the peace party and they are the only ones that can keep us from a serious economic depression.
Now let me ask you? Who is the failure? Obama or the fools that voted for him only because he shared the hate felt for the other side. Now, although they can't stand the arrorgant failure, they will hand over hard earned money and campaign for him. Why? Stupidity and hate. You get what you pay for folks.
Now the worse part. If it ain't the failure Obama in the White House, we will get just another lying politician, only it will be a Republican.
Two videos from my favorite Angel Producer.
This is not about the genuine convictions of the left or the right. It is about unbelievably stupid people voting over and over for a political party instead of solutions and progress. How stupid do you have to be? Look to Telluride or Boulder or any partisan Republican stronghold. Idiots abound.

Biomedical Engineering (BME), or Bioengineering, is the application of traditional engineering expertise and practices to problems in biology and medicine.
Biomedical engineers work alongside other health care professionals in a wide range of capacities. They might perform research to improve our understanding of how the human body works; design new devices or techniques to diagnose and treat diseases; perform motion analysis to improve the performance of professional athletes; or develop new materials that are used to make prosthetics or implants more durable.
Biomedical engineering graduates are employed in universities, hospitals, medical research facilities and even government agencies. Many also go on to medical school.
The program in Biomedical Engineering at LeTourneau University involves a curriculum of 130 semester hours, and is one of six concentration choices within our Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.
The program consists of a broad interdisciplinary engineering core, supplemented with biology courses such as Human Anatomy and Physiology, and completed with upper-level BME courses and research.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about having alot of discomfort in neck area? I have alot of stiffness and pulling and pain in my neck, the muscles and my throat feels like theres constantly a lump in it. It feels full and very uncomfortable. I've been taking alot if ibuprofen and it helps I'd like to not take it and might just start deaing with the discomfort . Its been going on for a couple of weeks, some days its worse than others. I am taking sprycel for 2 months. Is this a side effect? My dr. said I pulled something and to take ibuprofen.
Hi, Kelly. . .according to drugs.com, you should be careful about taking too much ibuprofen while on Sprycel. If you type Sprycel into the search bar on that website, it will bring you to to a page that lists drugs that interact with sprycel. It is a pretty large list, and probaby impossible to avoid all of the drugs, but it's a good resource to be aware of. I try to stay away from ibuprofen as much as possible.
The lump in the throat feeling is edema (swelling) in the throat tissues, which are soft tissues that can swell easily. All of the TKI drugs can cause this. It becomes harder to swallow pills and such. The sore/stiff neck muscles is likely just a side effect, and the TKI drugs can cause such discomfort. This generally gets better over the longer term. TKI side effects can be a pain in the neck.
Thanks everyone for yoour responses, they are very helpful. Trey I like the pain in the neck joke, that sounds like whats going on with me when you mentioned the swelling, It's nice to be able to look foreward to the discomfort going away, soon I hope.
Hi Kelly: I totally agree with what Trey said, and I actually deleted my response because my problems are out of the ordinary with the exception of my Arthritic Neck. Hope you start to feel better soon.
Hi Susan, I think it's nice to hear what else people are going through. It is interesting because I also had a disc surgery in my cervical spine a long time ago and had pain from that in the past, this feels different but I was concerned that it could have something to do with that, thats why I wanted to post the question, what Trey said makes more sense to me, thats what it feels like, more swelling and pressure. Not so much pain like with the surgery. I hope it feels better soon too. Thanks again.
I will also throw out there that difficulty swallowing , if that is a problem (dysphasia), can be caused by GERD, or something called eosinophilic esophagitis (sorta delayed allergy response in esophagus). If on TKI, I could see GERD being an issue. Acid reflux also causes swelling.
Hi Kelly,
I am experiencing the same symptoms with my neck and throat. In addition, I often have a sore throat and sometimes the lump feels like it is also in my chest. I have been on Sprycel since I was diagnosed in November. I have discussed this with my doctor and he does not seem to be too worried about it. The only things that seems to help with the soreness and lump in my throat are throat lozengers. I have been going through a lot of them! I would check on the ibuprofen as someone else mentioned. My doctor has recommended taking Tylenol for pain relief. Interesting to hear that someone else has the same symptoms that I have been worried about.
Beware of Tylenol. Frank
I have neck pain from whiplash injury. Here are some things I find helpful for stiff sore neck muscles.
1. Icy Hot rub or Ben Gay cream. Essentially topical aspirin. Doesn't get in bloodstream. This will do wonders if I apply at bedtime.
2. What are you carrying around? Heavy purse? If so, lighten the load. Get a smaller purse to force you to clear it out.
3. Ditto grocery bags. Tell baggers to put less in each bag. I find those young college or high school boys like to pack too much.
4. Heating pad. I like those microwave ones that apply moist heat to the area. Try Bed Buddy wraps.
5. Neck stretches. You need to see a physical therapist to learn these, but they do help.
Thank you for the tips, I have used the heating pads, it helps for a little while, I also do the stretches, but probably not as often as I should. It just came on out of know where and won't go away, i'll have to try the Ben Gay cream maybe that will help until it hopefully goes away. It also feels like alot of pressure towards the bottom of my head in the back and towards my jaw, my ears are popping too, vicki do your symptoms also sound like this? I went to have bloodwork done today and it's all in normal range, I only saw the nurse but I asked her about Ibuprofen and tylenol, she said that they are both fine but Ibuprofen is a concern for the bleeding. She said if I want I can take tylenol so I don't worry. Kelly
Hi Kelly,
I've found muscle strains seem to take longer to heal since I've been on Gleevec, plus I seem to get an injury a lot easier nowadays - though a GP did tell me I was getting old, I'm in my mid 40s. It has gotten worse in the last six months (I've been on Gleevec for about 20 months).
Could ear popping and jaw pain indicate a TMJ problem? I could see muscle problems there potentially extending to neck.
Just a thought, and I hope you feel better today.
Hi Kelly,
I do not have problems with ear popping nor does the pain extend to my jaw. It is the back of my neck and at the top of spine. I guess it could very easily be stress related. I am more concerned about the lump in my throat/chest and sore throat.
My doctor also said Tylenol was okay to take, although I do not take it often. I am very glad your bloodwork was good today, that is always a relief!
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that it has gotten worse GerryL, I guess it sounds like a mixture of everything going on can add to our problems. I hope the lump goes away soon vicki, I still have it too. I am interested to know if you find anything out. Thanks, Kelly

I'm having some instalation problems with my Compaq Armada M700 with upgraded HD (100GB) wihich is running Windows XP. I have burned a copy of iDeneb OSX86 Leopard to a DVD. The DVD contains the .ISO that came with the the download, is that okay? I'm not sure if it is. I tried running the BIOS on the compaq to boot from CD drive, but all I got was the Computer settings... I have two fairly good Compaq Armada M700's and it did the same thing on both systems. If anyone has the answer this all of this, that would be great. Thank you

In the future, party conventions will look very different than they do today. Gone will be the four days of speeches, hundreds of parties, and even the need for delegates to gather in one place.
Today, technology easily solves the need for a formal convention. We now live in an era of hyper media coverage. Voters see stories about Barack Obamaand Mitt Romneyevery time they look at their smart phone, glance at a blog, or flip through a cable news channel. Holding a convention to introduce a candidate is like holding a world's fair to introduce us to other countries. Anyone with the Internet or cable TV is already aware of them. The holds true for candidates at all levels, especially presidential candidates. Yet, the press still covers the conventions as if they are the voters' first chance to learn about the men who want to be President. (Read More: Romney Hurt by Democratic Attacks: Poll)
That's not to say there isn't important party business that takes place at these gatherings, but the need for candidates to raise millions of dollars to put on a week long show seems like a relic of the past. Starting in 1996 and working toward present day, a simple look at the amount of mentions 3 months prior to a challenger's nominating convention (or the Party out of power in the case of 2000) on the Washington Post, USA Today, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times via a Google News search shows a significant and increasing trend of press coverage before the main event.
While this search is hardly scientific study, the amount of mentions on the Internet sourced with these 5 newspapers shows an astronomical increase between 2008 and today. Twitter and Facebook, undoubtedly, have had a significant impact on this trend. (Read More: Will Obama or Romney Cost You Less?)
Considering this, we're less likely to see a significant bounce out of either convention. Looking at historical Gallup polls between 1964 and 2008, surveys show that presidential candidates benefited from a post-convention "bounce" of about 5 points.
But the last two presidential races show smaller bounces. In 2004, President Bush garnered only a 2-point bounce, while Senator John Kerry actually lost ground during his convention. In 2008, both candidates received a 4-point bounce. Typically, a challenger would receive on average a 5.6 percent bounce - higher than the incumbent and based presumably on the fact that there was less media coverage of him prior to his convention. But, again, that wasn't the case in 2004 or 2008.
Even if one of these candidates is able to alter the race, the occurrence of a significant convention bounce does not ensure success in November. In the last forty-eight years, the higher bounce has indicated success only 50% of the time. In two weeks, short of any major event or grounding breaking policy announcement, expect the presidential race to look very similar to how it does today.

NHL Coverage
Posted Jan 22, 2004 @ 12:40 AM
So with the lockout looming, the game being dragged down into the sewers, and the TV contract expiring I'm sure alot of hockey fans are trying to enjoy the NHL while it lasts.
And please Canada do something about Don Cherry! I expect to download the next Coach's Corner and see him with an armband with a maple leaf on it.

Six, seven years ago I really thought the NHL was onto something, and was doing a good job promoting itself as an up and coming game. Now it appears destined to head back to regional obscurity, which is just too bad.

Part of hockey's problem is that basketball has gotten its act together in the last 5 years (the NBA was at a low point when hockey was doing well). But more of the problem lies with the league itself. It's disappointing to see fewer and fewer games on ESPN.

Yeah the NHL really screwed the pooch during its renaissance during the Rangers run to the Cup and the early Avs-Red Wings wars. They would have been better off to realize that the NHL is a niche market, but a viable one. Instead we get players, agents, a union and the New York Rangers who think $10 million a year garaunteed isn't enough, Bettman letting the quality of play deteriorate while remaining in denial of the problem (the joke I use "All is well, remain calm, all is well!") The refs go on double-secret probabtion every year on obstrution only to swallow their whistles about a quarter in the season and generate another wave of bad press. The league overreached into lousy markets (Some worked, but when Peter Karmanos moved the Whalers he chose Carolina over Minnesota.) And just bad ownership Bill Wirtz, and Jermemy Jacobs are putting a drag on the league by driving their fans away and remeber when the Yakuza owned the Lightning.
Now I don't think Hockey is any worse run than baseball (the other two...) but baseball can always recover because of it's built in propaganda machine of nostalgists and apologists (how to this day the argument over baseball vs football is even an issue is beyond me.)

And I'm still trying to figure out the All Star rosters. Big Keith Primeau gets in? No Matthieu Schneider? No Milan Hejduk? Could they just go ahead and scrap the all teams must be represented nonsense, and give us a West team of Detroit, Colorado, St. Louis, and Vancouver, and an Eastern team of New Jersey, Ottawa, and Philly, and you'd end up with a much better situation.

SpikeTV is owned by Viacom, which also owns CBS and UPN, so I guess there would be the possibility that they might shift some hockey to the broadcast networks if the ratings are high enough...or at least borrow some competent technical people from CBS Sports.

While it's true that NHL teams don't rely as much on national TV revenue as the other leagues, losing a couple million dollars per team is going to hurt (especially in light of the rumor that the owners want a cap in the 30-35 million dollar range.)
On a related note, I can't help but notice the huge difference between the way the NFL is marketing its new channel and the NHL's ad for their NHL Center Ice. The ads with Roenick and Carter look amateurish compared to the NFL's ads.
Now that I think about it, they also look pretty sad compared to the ads ESPN ran when they picked up the NBA despite the fact that they use a similar premise (stars living together under the same roof).

Got to agree the ads aren't any good even in comparison to older hockey campaigns. The Black & White ads featuring players that ran during 90's were alot funnier. My favorite was the "Now you understand playoff hockey." the only two I remeber was the kid hearing about the school closure and the guy jumping the fence and hearing the guard dog.
Speaking of ads, the Hockey, Made in America is awful by any standard. It's a factualy dubious claim to begin with, the ads a deadly dull and they seem to be in responce to the xenophobia going around. It's as if they're saying "Relax it's not that kind of Frenchmen! We don't have many Germans!"
So Jagr to the Rangers, they deserve eachother.

Look, my Pittsburgh Penguins are having some really really tough times right now, but the play so hard, I mean they battle with teams, they battled Ottawa 6-5, and played the Avs pretty evenly. They've even beat teams like Detroit, New Jersey and Philadelphia.
The hockey game coverage is fine. Mike Lange is amazing, Bob Errey is no Edzo, but he'll do, and there are great shows like "The Edzo Show" and stuff.
It's just the local media never gives any attention to the Penguins unless they lose. They beat New Jersey 4-2, nothing is said. They lose to Tampa Bay 3-1 and it's all over the news.
I'm just tiring of Pittsburgh obsession with the shoddy Steelers and the Pirates...well let's not even mention them.

ESPN still shows hockey? I've had Center Ice so long that it's do not pass go, just go to channel 740 and start looking for Wings games there.
Me too, except the Leafs are my team of choice. I'm not surprised that ESPN is being half-assed in their NHL coverage, I saw it coming the moment they landed the NBA broadcast rights. As far as local coverage I'm in Flyers country so they're getting a lot of attention, probably because the Eagles are done and the Sixers are circling the drain. Too bad I hate the Flyers, and if I had to see that asshat Jeremy Roenick one more time during the Center Ice preview last week I was gonna do an Elvis on my TV.

I actually like ABC's coverage; I like Gary Thorne very much, Bill Clement is solid, and I wish Mike Emrick and John Davidson would've transposed their duties from Fox. (I miss the team of Steve Levy and Darren Pang as well, because, well, I don't have cable.) One of the big explanations as to why hockey doesn't pull in big ratings is because it "doesn't translate well to TV" and I don't get it. I saw a Wild game tonight (led 2-0 in the second and lost to the Habs 3-2 in OT; the Wild just suck shit right now, goddammit...), and while I was so glad to see it live (though having second-row seats may have helped greatly) I'm sure I'd be into this game if it were on my local station.
Which leads me to my conclusion: I don't think hockey pulls in big ratings because ... many people just don't like hockey. I love hockey, but I think that's because I live in a hockey state. With sports, you have to be inculcated in it, know your team, the players, the nuances, the rules, the reasons why the team's winning or losing, etc. It may take a generation of teams in hot-weather climes to truly make the NHL a national sport, but my guess is people in the South won't feel hockey the way people in Minnesota or Massachusetts do, as we will never know how Canadians truly feel about hockey. Sad, but ... possible.
Want more evidence? Since I'm out of work I don't have to go to sleep until 6 in the morning, and at 5 a.m. I listen to "Mike and Mike" on ESPN. I also frequent the sports boards at TWoP a lot. There is so much coverage about football, baseball and basketball on both vessels, and it gets very microscopic, and we get so passionate that we frequently go off-topic and talk about the games themselves. Not only are there many, many less mentions of hockey on that show and many, many less posts about the NHL here, but the only times I've heard or read anything about it, it isn't about David Aebischer completely filling Patrick Roy's shoes, or the stylish play of the upstart Atlanta Thrashers. We talk about the health of the sport. And when the only thing most people know about the NHL is the current labor shortage (my quick take: salaries should be at least half of what they are, 75% ideally), you're kind of fucked.

Well Hockey is a success in Colorado after being a niche sport for years, but we're an unusual case to say the least. We got a great team instead of a plodding bunch of trappers, the Avs brought the city it's first championship (it was like VJ-Day,) and we have such a massive amount of imigrants we had ready made rivalries (tons of asshole Red Wings fans.)
I agree hockey is an aquired taste, but in 1996 I went from seeing pucks having a cult following to something everyone was into. Amoungst my friends the same was true.
I say it's an aquired taste. It takes about a year to get a good understanding of the sport. I know that sounds insurmontable, but I've tried explaining our football to europeans and that is our most popular sport.
Anyway All-Star weekend the NHL gets a ratings boost from football fans who are having break-up sex with the NFL and get too drunk to turn of the TV! It makes me pine for the real all-star game to be played this summer. Perhaps I'll go see Miracle.

I've seen football in high def and it is awsome (the fact that it was a 48 inch screen probably had something to do with that), but I'm skeptical that HDTV would provide hockey viewers with a more of a positive experience than any other sport. If so, hockey would be at them same place fighting for coverage, only this time on HDTV.

[ot]We'll see what happens in the playoffs. Boy, oh, boy.[/ot] (Yeah, another Colorado fan here, in Colorado. Hi, Hasbro!)
I'm very interested in seeing the sport in HD, too, especially with ESPN pushing it by showing that red-outlined box of what you get vs. what you could have on each game. Is it that much sharper? Brighter? I never watch for the puck, so I dunno if that would sell me, but anything that improves the occasional muddy, blurry presentation is bonus in my book.
Count me as another fan of the Thorne-Clement team: I just like their chemistry, the sense of fun and humor they bring to games. I know the sport; I don't need someone explaining and analyzing it for me. Make me smile, that's good enough most games. I like most of the broadcasting teams ESPN/ABC fields, in fact. Maybe I'm not picky enough? (Sorry.)
Heck, I even like it when they mike up a player, such as J.R. in the All-Star Game yesterday. I'm a sucker for the personal touches, even if they are preaching the choir, with me.

So now that the season is almost over, ESPN 1&2 are showing a lot more hockey. I'm looking forward to the Tampa Bay games this coming week or so. I've picked them as my team of the moment (since my hometown team, the Penguins, are so painfully awful there's not much to root for with them). ESPN seems to be talking Tampa up a bit too much right now -- I enjoy them, because they don't trap much, but I'm not sure they're going to win the East.
Any other good games coming up?

You can't really tell if hockey is a success in Colorado yet, Hasbro. The team was built in Quebec and the Avs have never been supported through bad years yet, because they've never had any. If the fans support the franchise through tough times, you may be right. Most American fans won't, though, because they have too many other options. Vide Dallas. Same situation, but the franchise is now slipping, and isn't drawing.
I like to watch the Avs, though, at least they don't trap. Ditto the Wings. The Wild and the Devils should be outlawed.
The trap is a function of over-expansion, and over-expansion is a feature of Gary Bettman, a basketball man who knows dick all about hockey and proved it by running the league into the ground.

Okay folks. Hopefully this shows that Adobe was listening.
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/new-adobe-digital-pub lishing-suite-single-edition-announced.html
An affordable DPS, this is great news - as well as all the other Adobe announcements.
Two things I'd like to ask:
- Is there a time frame for Single Edition to be available in customers in Europe? and
- Does the partnership with WoodWing means that the Overlay Creator will incorporate the WoodWing tools for creating interactive content?
Timeframe: The only thing we hear is "soon" or "in 2012", that's the same
for Android support.
WoodWing: I think it is the other way around. WoodWing said that they will
stop using their own tools and transfer their customers to Adobe DPS, so
they will use the overlay creator instead in the future, use .folio format
and drop their own format.
i have to correct myself there, it more looks like WoodWing is still using their own tools, but they will create the .folio format:
From the FAQ:
WoodWing will continue to support and develop its Digital Magazine Tools for InDesign,
which are accessible through WoodWing Enterprise and used to efficiently create or add
interactivity to content targeted to tablet devices. There is no change to the creative
process in the way a tablet publication is designed and interactivity is added.
Brilliant, so for those of us that have the Professional licence, what's the benefit of our investment now?
Suite single edition US$495/month. is correct?...
Professional for 495$ a month, single edition for 395 each time.

The way I read it is that you will still subscribe to Woodwing and use their plugin and tools but the actual publishing aspect of the workflow would be handled by Adobe and the Dashboard.
Thanks Johanes (BTW, brilliant work with the blog and the app ) and Tony.
I am kinda happy, to be honest, as I use WoodWing at work and DPS for my personal projects, so it seems that exporting (and, probably, being able to share and combine workflows) to a single format will simplify my life.
I have scheduled a meeting with my local WoodWing representative in a couple of days, will let you know what's their view.
One thing I'm wondering: the Single Edition is for one "single app" and not for one "issue" of a kiosk, do I understand correctly? I mean, you can publish a standalone app using this, not use one every time you want to publish an issue of a magazine title.
Great news?
Three questions?
1 - is that a per app cost?
2 - how long till the multi-folio app?
3 - when will we learn of nonprofit pricing scheme?
When will ADPS users be able to use Woodwing tools?
I'm glad you made this comment. I didn't want to be the only one feeling like this.
First off we buy an Acrobat subscription only to discove, the next day, that the tools we required are now available for free. Then we subscribe to DPS and find out two weeks later that there's a new non-subscription edition which we could have done with. I'm not overly angry as I think the DPS is probably better value in the long run, but I am annoyed that Adobe don't tell customers what their plans are.
Constantine Terss wrote:

1. Yep. The price is for each single-issue application.
2. Multi-issue applications are more complex. They require the use of Adobe's fulfillment servers and interaction with Apple's In-App Purchase APIs. So, I doubt they'll ever appear with a "one-time" fee. A contract will always be necessary as Adobe will continue to spend money so long as your content is ont he store.
The irony, of course, is that Adobe listened in large part because of the so-called 'complaining' and 'whining' that dozens of customers did in this very forum.
There's a lesson there, to be sure.
Creative Pro has an updated article with some answers to the above questions, with the OP's thoughts () and a handy table for all the solutions out there.
It's found at: http://www.creativepro.com/article/adobe-dramatically-drops-price-ipad -publishing
Would the single edition be OK for a product catalogue or for a product brochure?
I mean the catalogue gets updated from time to time. Same with the product brochure when you add new product, or modify something.
I have the impression that single editions cannot be updated. So only for documents that are "written in stone", correct?
The single issue app that you send directly to Apple can be updated through "updates" on the App Store. So it is still perfect for a catalogue etc.
Where it fails is if you may have sold a magazine, and you dont want, or the person that has bought the app, doesn't want, for it to be "over-written" by the update.
Thank God for that! Fabio's post nearly gave me a heart attack. I've been telling clients they can update no problem.
Woodwing workflow will be integrated into DPS with Enterprise 7.5, which we expect to be available by Mid-Nov.
We show the solution at IFRA in Vienna next week at booth A660.
The creation process of interactive elements keeps to be Woodwing's, so InDesign plugins by Woodwing still exist and content management remains within Enterprise, you don't use ID5.5 but still ID4 & ID5. ID5.5 support is still on its way and actually will come after DPS integration with Enterprise 7.6.
So Woodwing supplies you with its own toolset & workflow and one-click export into .folio format (instead of .ofip, which will be abandoned) on basis of the DPS SDK.
Woodwing will work with Adobe (& vice versa) to make the transition for Woodwing customers as smooth as possible, possibly bringing the more advanced features of Woodwing Digital Magazine Reader & CDS to the Adobe DPS ecosystem very soon.
Woodwing and its solution partners will act as DPS resellers to the market in the future.

But…in order to update it you'll need to create a new app. And unless I missed something you'll need to pay the $395 again to do that.
Yes, but presumably not if you have a subscription.
Good point Bob, from my selfish point of view, thats good news for me if you are correct.
As a pro licence subscriber I can publish unlimited folio's without any additional cost.
I think there will be very few people that will create an App that wouldn't at least have 1 or 2 updates a year,
if not a few more than that....
Which, when you think about it, could make the single edition quite expensive in the long run, unless you really only have one App.
But hey, good news for me, in terms of my "Agency" business model.
Of course it's good news for you. It's good news for me, too.
I've lost several prospective jobs because of the high costs of publishing. That barrier is gone now.
I can lose the $395 in the cost of the job. I'm extremely excited this.
Do you have any idea of when the single edition will be available? I've been holding apps for a while, waiting...
Sometime in November I believe…but don't hold me to that.
I think this Single Edition idea is cool and all, but the real gap in pricing remains: A ONE TIME price to create a magazine and then pay a nominal fee to Adobe in order to have new issues/folios.
So basically I can publish a catalogue and update it a couple of times a year as long as I pay the single edition each time, is that correct?. And if that's possible: is it an update to the app the user already downloaded or does it necessarily have to be a different app on the appstore (which wouldnt be so convenient).
I had the same question and they told me you have create a new/different app each time. It's not possible to update your app because Adobe thinks you shouldn't.

Plus, you will learn the Arabian prayer and camel stretch, pick up trash and put it in a barrel, play basketball, wave a flag, and spin a rope, count wave a foreleg "Howdy", lie down and play dead, sit up and be mounted then rise with you aboard from a sit, to stand. 90 minutes.
Volume 3: With this final DVD you are ready to progress to the things you see in circuses. Your horse will learn to perform things like: the curtsy bow, crossing legs and pivoting in both directions, while adding the curtsy bow to the pivot or pivoting with one foreleg extended. other techniques learned are the march or Spanish Walk, hesitation march mounted or dismounted, working on a pedestal, "Strike a Pose" with three silhouettes, work on a teeter-totter or gangplank, rearing and standing on one leg and finally walking on hind legs. 90 minutes.

Greetings to members of the Presbyterian Mission Agency Board, mid council executives, and friends,
All around me, I see the meaning of Maundy Thursday reflected in the many ways that Presbyterians and Christians of every tradition are humbling themselves—ministering to one another and to their neighbors—as together we remember and follow the new commandment that Christ gave us as he taught us how to love one another. In our service and compassion, we are striving to model the promise of Easter in what is all too often a Good Friday world.Continue reading
Called to the work of advocacy: Visit by J. Herbert Nelson inspires the Presbytery of Genesee Valley
April 10, 2014
Greetings to members of the Presbyterian Mission Agency Board, mid council executives, and friends,
Presbyterians have been deeply engaged in public life ever since John Calvin helped reshape the political culture of 16th-century Geneva.
This legacy continues in the life of our church today, in large part through the Office of Public Witness (OPW), the voice of PC(USA) social policy. Working in the nation's capital since 1947, the OPW nurtures and encourages all Presbyterians to get involved in civic life. Under the leadership of director Rev. J. Herbert Nelson II, its ministries call us to make that critical connection between hands-on mission and advocacy: to take action, to raise our voices, and to take a stand in promoting a more just society.Continue reading

text: Midwest, Southern Plains Remain in Drought Mild dryness, drought conditions show minimal advancement; extreme conditions are shrinking Published on: Oct 31, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Though no drastic improvements appeared on the U.S. Drought Monitor this week, conditions are improving slightly. A dry and cool week across the Midwest did not allow for advanced improvements, though the northern section of the lower peninsula of Michigan and northwest Minnesota along the North Dakota border saw dryness retreat. The Midwest is now seeing mostly moderate to severe drought conditions, stretching from central Minnesota to the southern tip of Illinois. Midwest drought conditions do show a connection to the Plains states near Iowa, and abnormally dry conditions creep into a sizeable portion of Indiana. Meanwhile, the Delta saw enough precipitation to improve drought conditions last week. Between Arkansas and Mississippi, D0 and D1 improvements were noted. The drought still stretches from central Arkansas into a majority of Louisiana, but no extreme drought is noted in the area.Mild dryness, drought conditions show minimal advancement; extreme conditions are shrinking The Plains, West and Southwest continue in a mostly dry pattern, the Drought Monitor reports. A wide swath of moderate to severe drought with pockets of extreme and exceptional drought still exist across a majority of the region. A pocket of completely drought-free land appears in Colorado, and some southern portions of Texas and Arizona also show drought-free conditions. Some precipitation was recorded in New Mexico last week, according to the drought monitor, but for the most part the area was dry and drought status remains unchanged. Pockets of exceptional drought in Nevada and California remain. In the Southeast, a drier than normal fall has resulted in expanded dryness in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and as far north as Virginia. Statistical comparisons show that conditions have advanced very slightly, with 55.87% of the contiguous U.S. in D0-D4 conditions, compared to 54.96% last week.

Examining Truth and Justice at Israel's Supreme Court
Monday, December 3, 2012
American Friends mission gets the inside story on law and order in the Jewish state
Justice Barak-Erez, at center
During a visit to Israel's magnificent Supreme Court building, guests of the "Discover TAU: Campus and Beyond" mission were invited into the privileged chambers of the Supreme Court justices by their newest member — Justice Daphne Barak-Erez, former Dean of the Buchmann Faculty of Law at Tel Aviv University.
In a private discussion centered on Israel's judicial system, Justice Barak-Erez said that staying faithful to the principles of truth and justice can present challenges as unique as the country itself.
"Sitting where I do today, I see the challenges the justice system faces as akin to those of the state. We are both a Jewish and a democratic state. Our constitutional law follows in the footsteps of British law, but doesn't appear in one formal document," she told the group. "This means that there is more flexibility — but that nothing is absolutely certain."
It's what makes the rulings of the Supreme Court — which every day must decide what is considered constitutional — especially poignant, she said.
Justice Barak-Erez, who first took the Supreme Court bench in May, 2012, assured participants that her connection to Tel Aviv University will always remain strong. "TAU is my second home. I started as a student at TAU's Faculty of Law at 18, and it has been a part of my life for almost 30 years. I truly believe it is the best law school in Israel because of the quality of the faculty and students, who are leaders in the legal field."
