But one has become prominent: World Business Chicago , a largely city-funded nonprofit, of which Emanuel is chairman. But it is, in effect, led by Emanuel's friend Michael Sacks, its vice chairman. (His full-time job is leading investment firm Grosvenor Capital Management.)

This week, organizational responsibility for the G-8/NATO summit transferred under his command, with former Olympic-effort president Lori Healey replacing veteran event organizer Leslie Fox in the lead staff role.
And in an interview, Sacks announced that World Business Chicago would design and help execute an economic-growth plan for the city. The effort, a first for the city, will be lead by a 14-member steering committee, plus three World Business Chicago board members: Sacks, JPMorgan Midwest Chairman Glenn Tilton and Ernst & Young Midwest Managing Partner Tony Anderson. Deputy Mayor Mark Angelson, a former CEO of printing company R.R. Donnelley, will be the point person for the group at City Hall.
The mayor's tax-increment financing task force "recommended we have such a plan," Angelson said. "But even if they hadn't recommended it, it's a good idea."
The new duties are in addition to World Business Chicago 's long-standing effort to recruit businesses to the city.
With additional responsibility, however, comes additional scrutiny. In that vein, Sacks said, World Business Chicago has hired law firm Sidley Austin to review all of the group's compliance and conflict-of-interest policies and whether the group should make some records publicly available. Sidley is doing the work pro bono, with partner David Hoffman taking the lead.
The review comes on the heels of Inspector General Joseph Ferguson's allegations that, during the Daley administration, the economic development agency failed to disclose potential conflicts when endorsing tax breaks for local corporations. So it's not a coincidence that Hoffman is Chicago's former inspector general.
But when asked whether Hoffman's recommendations would be made public, Sacks would only say that World Business Chicago 's board "would determine the policy."
The issue of disclosure came up again regarding the G-8/NATO effort. Former Sara Lee Chief Executive John Bryan and Emanuel fundraiser Anne Olaimey are responsible for raising money from the business community to pay for the summit. World Business Chicago will take in and pay out the money raised from donors.
When asked whether the identities of the donors would be disclosed, Sacks repeated that World Business Chicago 's board would decide.
"We want to be as transparent as we can be without jeopardizing our mission, and we are looking for ways -- and going to discuss and ultimately conclude on ways -- we can be more transparent," Sacks said. "When you have businesses that you're talking to about relocating to Chicago, the last thing you can afford to do is let people know about it. That is a confidential process, and we can't ever violate that confidentiality."
In the long term, the economic development plan could be the most powerful of the group's initiatives. The steering committee is stacked with heavyweights from the corporate, philanthropic and labor worlds, including former congresswoman and now Executives' Club CEO Melissa Bean; Commercial Club President Ty Fahner; Jorge Ramirez of the Chicago Federation of Labor; and Juan Rangel, CEO of the United Neighborhood Organization.
"If all we do is get on the same page, so we all know what the plan is, it's probably of real value," Sacks said. "That's obviously not our goal. Our goal is to work hard to ensure this is not shelf ware, and that we, as a group, present actionable items."
The effort is modeled after a Brookings Institution program, which has already prompted a fundraising effort for a new testing center for green-building technology in the Seattle region, for instance.
"This is not regional aspirational planning or a visioning process; it is a business process," said Robert Weissbourd, of RW Ventures, who is working with Brookings on the Chicago effort. "The output isn't going to be some initiative; it's going to be a real enterprise."

We have been to Mason Street
before and had no problems. However, this time our service was extremely slow, they got our steaks wrong and I had put that it was our wedding anniversary on the reservation and had no acknoledgement. It was disappointing. We talked to the hostess on the way out. The notation was there, she said she told our server. The hostess did offer us a dessert to go, but by then it was too late."

My wife's 74th birthday

We have been to Mason Street Grill
several times, and have always been pleased. Service is attentive but not oppressive. My wife was not happy with her salad, and the staff could not have been nicer and more proactive. Two managers stopped by to be ure we were enjoying our meal, and to make a note regarding the salad for future visits."
Dined on 3/1/2014
This was our first time dining at
this restaurant, and convenient because we were staying at the Pfister. (You will not be disappointed) The restaurant has great energy, food is fantastic, and the wine selection superb!"
Dined on 3/1/2014
Many times a restaurant located
within a hotel is just "so-so". Not the case here! Rather than depend on hotel guests looking for convenience, Mason St. Grill likely brings guests to the hotel. The steaks were excellent and cooked to perfection. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and picked the perfect wine. The wait staff was extremely attentive made sure our experience was memorable."
Dined on 2/27/2014
I had an awesome dining
experience. The food was great, the wine was fabulous and the service was impeccable! Amanda was our server. She was attentive without being overbearing. Troy was on top of filling water glasses. His service was wonderful as well. Overall we had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
Wonderful experience - service was
exemplary. To be honest, the food was a little less exceptional, but still very good. The tuna ahi was a bit chewy and the steak had enough pepper on it that the meat was hard to taste. Other than that though, a great night, well worth it."
Dined on 2/22/2014
We have dined at Mason Street

small tables. Other than that it was a great experience."
Dined on 2/15/2014
I made a Valentine's Day
reservation over a month in advance, and we were given a table that was in the bar/kitchen area. Those tables should absolutely not be used as restaurant seating, especially not when someone has made a reservation and is hoping to have a nice, romantic dinner. I'm very disappointed."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I took my wife there for
Valentine's Day to have a romantic dinner. Needless to say I was not disappointed. The atmosphere was quiet, romantic and just the right amount of lighting. The food was wonderful and the waiter did not fail to give great suggestions as well as attention to our table. This was one of the best experiences my wife and I have had in a long time. Thanks for making a good date with my wife great."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Food was great, bar was awesome
with great trio rocking the house. Serve was this restaurant's downfall. Granted it was VD, but many other reviews note the poor quality of service. We waited 30 minutes to be sat and we had a reservation. Further, it took well over 45 minutes to get our food in between the salad and the entree. I would give the place one more try to see if they redeem themselves on the service, but for the expensive price tag of the meal, I expect better than a 30 minute wait to be seated and 45 minutes waiting for my food."
Dined on 2/14/2014
From the moment we entered the
restaurant, we received a warm reception. The host and hostess were gracious and inviting. Our server was a gem. She actually remembered my wife and I from our last outing; a year removed. The food was the proverbial 'cherry on the top'. Our dinner was prepared with care and importance to detail. One of Milwaukee's finest dining establishments."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Mason Street Grill was okay. I
can't really find any one thing to complain about, except for the service. We expected more of a high level of attention and service, like you would find in a higher end restaurant. It is not that the service was bad, it is just that it was inattentive for this level of dining. I would say the same for the food. It was good, just not outstanding. Overall a good experience, but very pricey for the overall experience."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Food was excellent although a
little pricier than I expected. Service was perfect. Food was brought out at a good pace allowing us to enjoy the courses and still get out on time for the theater. I will definitely return."
Dined on 2/7/2014
This was a fantastic place for a
fancy date night! I'm 24 and it was definitely on the pricey side, but it was definitely expected and lived up to the price. It was delicious and the service was fantastic."
Dined on 2/8/2014
We arrived early and enjoed the
fireplace in the bar/lounge. The service was excellent and the food phenominal. We will be recommending this to our friends in Chicago as the 'Go To Place' in Milwaukee. We will be back soon."

We all had the Sunday special and

A client and I enjoyed good food
and environment conducive to accomplishing our business discussions. Staff was very attentive, friendly.... and professional!!"
Dined on 1/27/2014
After walking through the hotel is
gorgeous, I came to the end of the hallway where the restaurant was located. The atmosphere appeared similar to the hotel yet a little more understated. During the meal, I felt a little bit rushed how's the waitress came to the table too many times well we were having a business discussion. The food was good, the portions were okay, and I walked out saying it was a good meal, but nothing I would get overly excited about."
Dined on 1/27/2014
We arrived at the location on time
for dinner resevations 8:00pm, and had to wait almost 45mins to be seated, and another 45mins to be served. I recommended this place to friends and was very embarrassed!!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
Girls night was wonderful! We had
to wait 10 minutes even though we had a reservation. But since we had to wait the manager brought us champagne and the server brought us some complementary hummus. I had the panko chicken with a side of roasted cauliflower which was delicious. My friends each had the petite filet and they raved about them! Great place!"

I upgraded to RH9 (from RHX5) and very happily started to use both the Snippet and Resource Manager functionality.
I seem to have hit a mental block despite reading the help and looking up this forum regarding updating images in the resource manager .....
I have multiple projects and the same image is used throughout the projects - sometimes only once in a project and sometimes multiple times in the same project.
Lets say this image is called Picture1.gif - due to program re-design I now need to update Picture1.gif.
Picture1.gif is stored in Resource Manager and as it is linked then a copy is also stored in my project.
I delete the old image, create a new image, rename it to the original name Picture1.gif and drag it to Shared Resources and then drag it back again so that it is linked.
Despite the back and forth steps this does in fact work - the image is updated in other projects as expected.
However, if an image appears in a project multiple times then I have to change it everywhere before I can rename it, etc. etc.
I feel quite sure that I am missing something here and that the whole process should be simpler!!
I would have expected somehow to be able to update the image in the resource manger and then sync.
Hi Morven
Why not try just saving the modified image and replacing the existing one without the delete and replace hokey pokey. Resource Manager should sense the change and update accordingly.
Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,
First of all thanks for the answer.
Your answer makes me suspect that I am doing things differently.
When you save the modified image and replace - are you doing this in RoboHelp or in Windows Explorer directly?
I think my current method is cumbersome because I am trying to do the replacement within RH itself.
Hi Morven
In my own experience, it really shouldn't matter where you update the image, as the Resource Manager is a two way street. If you update in RoboHelp, it should be sensed and the updated image copied from your project to replace and update the centralized image. And likewise, if you update the centralized image, Resource Manager should update your project to match the updated centralized image.
Again, I woudn't want to first delete the image followed by saving a new one using the same name. I would either open one of them (centralized or project) and edit as needed. Or edit a copy, make edits, then save using the same file name so the existing image is replaced.
To the best of my knowledge, Resource Manager should sense the change as the date/time stamp should be different as well as possibly the size. Then the automation should kick in to update the image's counterpart and synchronize everything nicely. The only fly in this ointment would be if the new image were different in size from the pixel measurement standpoint. If the new image is wider or taller or narrower or shorter, you would need to ensure that you reset the sizes in your project so they match the new dimensions. Otherwise they will be a bit skewed and have the fun house effect. I believe RoboHelp supplies a script for this.
Cheers... Rick

Hello folks, over the next couple of months we'll be doing a series of blogs that will follow the development of the Couchbase .NET 2.0 SDK. In this post I will go over the high level architecture, some motivation and features you should expect, and what the overall goals are of the .NET SDK with respect to the other Couchbase clients: Node, PHP, Java, and C.
"How should I access my data?" is often asked by developers as they contemplate a storage solution. To answer that question one first needs to understand the application under consideration. Who are the most important users, and which use cases need to be fast—that is, what actions does the user take a lot? What is the hot path?

Local Atmosphere:
The intown is charming and offers some local charm.
Work load difficult but worth it.
I've always had really good experiences with getting help for technical problems, sometimes printing can be annoying though.
There haven't been many parties in the last couple years due to Res Life policies. Going out can be challenging and disappointing most of the time.
Off-Campus Dining:
Richmond is a small city but in the last couple years some pretty good places have opened up, like thai, vietnamese, japanese, and there's some good mexican food too. And then there are some cute local diners and coffee shops that are cheap and charming.
Earlham gives a lot of financial aid, especially to international students from UWC schools and through the Bonner scholarship.
Off-Campus Housing:
Students aren't typically allowed to live off campus, but there are college owned houses that students can live in.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off campus is dependent on student
Campus Dining:
Could be better or worse.
Haven't had one, don't plan on it.
Happy overall. Small field, may be difficult.
Very decent. Good faculty, courses available.
Only 1100 on campus students - no trouble parking
Facilities on campus are steadily improving- esp with the addition of the new science and art buildings!
Health & Safety:
The security officers and health staff are kind generally
Campus Dining:
Unacceptable generally, although about once a week the food isn't bad
Top #5 in terms of diversity
Difficult if youre a science major
Academics are the best of what this school has to offer
It is no secret that Earlham lacks school spirit for its sports teams. Crowds at games are usually small but enthusiastic. The Wellness Center is a quality facility for both athletes and non-athletes alike.
Overall Experience:
I've met some truly amazing people at Earlham and made some of the best friends of my life. There are intriguing people everywhere, and the size of the school makes it so you'll probably have the opportunity to meet someone you find particularly interesting at some point. The friendliness of the student body is hard to come across anywhere else, and most people are willing to talk and hang out with newcomers. Earlham's size does make it a bit suffocating at times, however, and there will definitely be phases where the craving to go somewhere more exciting and meet new people will be intense. When it comes to academics, I must say I have had a quality experience with most of my classes and professors with the exception of a few that left me utterly uninspired; the classes here really seem to be hit or miss. Also, Richmond is utterly devoid of recreation, with the nearest city being Indianapolis at about an hour and a half away.
For its size, Earlham is one of the most diverse colleges I have ever been to. It is not uncommon to hear three different languages being spoken just on your way to class, and something like 20% of the student body are international students. In terms of financial status, Earlham's compliance with students' needs make it diverse in this aspect as well, especially by means of the Bonner Scholars Program. I've known people who go here free of charge or who only pay a few thousand a year, a price that is unbeatable at most other schools. As for political beliefs, the school seems to be overwhelmingly liberal, though I've met a few conservatives (all of whom tend to be on the football or baseball teams).
There are many computers at Earlham, so fear not if you don't have a laptop! The internet is usually pretty fast and campus-wide, but if you need to use the campus computers, there are labs in most of the academic buildings. The computers seem new, too, and are usually very fast, which is convenient if you need to print something out on your way to class.
The History and English departments both have engaging professors and an abundance of resources from which to learn about. The best part about these subjects is probably the intensity with which the professors care about them and about you as a student. They are easily approachable and will be more than willing to help with literally anything you may need. If reading/writing based courses aren't your thing, though, it may prove to be a bumpy ride.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Anna Benfield
People come to Earlham for the academics, the Quaker principles, and the community. And, for the most part, they fall in love with the off-beat professors and student body. Earlham students are mostly fun, interesting, self-motivated, and incredibly involved on campus. Classes are compelling, and professors have a real love for their subjects and an investment in the students they teach. Quaker beliefs have mostly a positive and constructive presence on campus, helping remind staff and students to be mindful, open, and respectful. The opportunities are endless, and if Earlham's right for you, you're going to have an incredible four years. Surviving the crummy weather and the dismal off-campus dining scene will all be worth it.
Most people really love it here, and the positive attitude is contagious. However, be aware that all good things come at a price. If you get claustrophobic in small social scenes or small towns, look elsewhere. The small size is responsible for the best and the worst of Earlham life. Richmond can be quaint and grounding, but after four years, most Earlham students are excited to be off to more exciting destinations. The campus is safe, with decent campus food and more than decent campus housing. The nightlife is hit or miss, though, and students have mixed feelings about diversity and dating options. However, without Greek life, students agree that a wide array of social options are available without heavy drug use or overly strict security. As you move about, you won't have to hike from a faraway parking lot, but you might have to do a bit of hunting to find a car to borrow to get around town. Indiana weather is a strange bag, but you can always find refuge from a random thunderstorm in the lovely Wellness Center. If you're the Earlham type, you'll realize this school and everything that comes with it has amazing things to offer you.

Belgian cuisine
|Part of a series on the
|Culture of Belgium
Music and performing arts
Belgian cuisine is widely varied with significant regional variations while also reflecting the cuisines of neighbouring France, Germany and the Netherlands. It is sometimes said that Belgian food is served in the quantity of German cuisine but with quality of French food.[1][2] Outside the country, Belgium is best known for its chocolate and beer.
Belgian cuisine traditionally prizes regional and seasonal ingredients, leading to distinctive dishes like carbonade flamande in Flanders or the couque biscuit of the town of Dinant.
Belgians typically eat three meals a day, with a light breakfast, light or medium sized lunch and large dinner.
Typical dishes[edit]
Though Belgium has many distinctive national dishes, many internationally-popular foods like hamburgers and spaghetti bolognese are also popular in Belgium. The list contains dishes of Belgian origin, or those considered typically Belgian.
- Boterhammen / Tartines: Slices of rustic bread and an uncovered spread, often pâté or soft cheese, served on a cutting board. A typical variety is a slice of bread with quark and sliced radishes, typically accompanied by a glass of gueuze.
- Charcuterie, particularly smoked ham (Jambon d'Ardennes) and pâté, often made of game such as wild boar. The forested Ardennes region in the south of Belgium is renowned for this type of food.
- Salade Liégeoise: a salad with green beans, bacon, onions and vinegar. It is usually associated with Liège.
- Tomate-crevette / Tomaat-garnaal: a snack or starter of grey shrimp (which is particularly popular in Belgium) and mayonnaise stuffed into a hollowed-out raw tomato.
Savoury dishes[edit]
- Moules-frites / Mosselen-friet: mussels cooked or steamed with onions and celery served with fries. The recipe has often been referred to as the country's national dish[3] but is also popular in the neighboring Nord region of France.
- Waterzooi: a rich stew and soup of chicken or fish, vegetables, cream and eggs, usually associated with the town of Ghent.
- Gegratineerde witloof / Chicons au gratin: a gratin of endives in béchamel sauce with cheese. Often the endives is wrapped with ham.
- Kip met frieten en appelmoes / Poulet-frites-compote (chicken, fries and apple sauce).
- Konijn in geuze / Lapin à la gueuze: rabbit in geuze, which is a spontaneously fermented beer from the area around Brussels.
- Filet américain: Very finely minced ground beef eaten raw and cold. It is spread on a sandwich or bread with and sometimes topped with a sauce, usually with Sauce américaine, and served with fries. When served as a dinner, it is mixed with onions and capers like steak tartare, but it retains the name américain.
- Paling in 't groen / Anguilles au vert: Eel in a green sauce of mixed herbs (including chervil and parsley). Served with bread or fries. Usually accompanied by a beer or (sometimes) an Alsace wine.
- Pêches au thon / Perziken met tonijn: halved canned or fresh peaches stuffed with a mix of tuna and mayonnaise, i.e. tuna salad.
- Boudin / Pensen, beuling or bloedworst: a type of sausage in which the meat, or blood, is mixed with fine breadcrumbs. Often eaten with potatoes and apple sauce, sometimes eaten raw or barbequeued.
- Stoemp: potato mashed with vegetables (usually carrots or cabbage), often served with sausages.
- Carbonade flamande / Stoverij: a Belgian beef stew, similar to the French Beef Bourguignon, but made with beer instead of red wine. Served with bread or fries and mustard. Usually accompanied by a beer.
Sweet dishes and desserts[edit]
- Waffles, sometimes eaten as a street snack and sold by ice-cream vans. Among the better-known styles are the Liège waffle, Brussels waffle and the stroopwafel
- Speculoos: a shortcrust cinnamon cookie.
- Smoutebollen / Croustillons: Deep-fried balls of sweet dough, eaten at fairgrounds or on special occasions
- Tarte au riz / Rijstevlaai: a pie with a filling based on rice pudding, native to Verviers.
- Sirop de Liège / Luikse siroop: a jam or jelly-like spread made of evaporated fruit juices
Fries, deep-fried chipped potatoes, are very popular in Belgium where they are thought to have originated. The earliest evidence of the dish comes from a book entitled Curiosités de la table dans les Pays-Bas-Belgiques written in 1781, which described how inhabitants of Namur, Dinant and Andenne around the Meuse River had eaten fried potatoes since around 1680.[3] Though they are usually known as "French fries" in the United States, it is argued that American soldiers during the First World War erroneously believed that they were being served the dish in France.[4]
In Belgium, fries are sold at fast food stands or in dedicated fast-food restaurants called "friteries" or "fritkot"or frituur. They are often served with a variety of sauces and eaten either on their own or in the company of other snacks. Traditionally, they are served in a "cornet de frites", a cone-shaped white piece of cardboard then wrapped in a piece of paper with the sauce on the top. Other street foods like frikandel, gehaktbal or croquette are sold alongside. In some cases, the fries are served in the form of a sandwich along with their sauce and meat; this is known as a "mitraillette".[5]
Most Belgian households have a deep fryer, allowing them to make their own fries and other deep-fried foods at home.
Mayonnaise[6] and ketchup are the sauces traditionally eaten with fries in Belgium. Friteries and other fast-food establishments tend to offer a number of different sauces for the fries and meats. including aioli and sauce Americaine but also a spicy varieties like Béarnaise sauce.[7] There are frequently over a dozen options, and most are mayonnaise-based.[8] Varieties include:
- Aioli / Look-saus (garlic mayonnaise).
- Pepper-sauce - mayonnaise with green pepper.
- Sauce andalouse - mayonnaise with tomato paste and peppers.
- Sauce Americaine - mayonnaise with tomato, chervil, onions, capers and celery.
- "Bicky" Dressing (Gele Bicky-sauce), a commercial brand made from mayonnaise, white cabbage, tarragon, cucumber, onion, mustard and dextrose.
- Curry ketchup
- Curry mayonnaise
- Mammoet-sauce - mayonnaise, tomato, onion, glucose, garlic, soy sauce.
- Sauce "Pickles"- a yellow vinegar based sauce with turmeric, mustard and crunchy vegetable chunks, similar to Piccalilli.
- Samurai-sauce - mayonnaise with harissa.
- Tartar sauce.
- Zigeuner sauce; A "gypsy" sauce of tomatoes, paprika and chopped bell peppers, borrowed from Germany.
These sauces are generally also available in supermarkets. Occasionally warm sauces are offered by friteries, including Hollandaise sauce, sauce Provençale, Béarnaise sauce, or even a carbonade flamande.
For a comparatively small country, Belgium produces a very large number of beers in a range of different styles – in fact, it has more distinct types of beer per capita than anywhere else in the world. In 2011, there were 1,132 different varieties of beer being produced in the country.[9] The brewing tradition in Belgium can be traced back to the early Middle Ages and 6 Trappist Monasteries still produce beer, which was initially used to fund their upkeep.[10]
On average, Belgians drink 84 litres of beer each year, down from around 200 each year in 1900.[10] Most beers are bought or served in bottles, rather than cans, and almost every style of beer has its own particular, uniquely shaped glass or other drinking-vessel.[2] Using the correct glass is considered to improve its flavor.
The varied nature of Belgian beers makes it possible to match them against each course of a meal, for instance:
- Wheat beer with seafood or fish.
- Blonde or Tripel beers with eel, chicken or white meat
- Dubbel or other dark beers with dark meat
- Fruit Lambics with dessert
A number of traditional Belgian dishes use beer as an ingredient. One is carbonade, a stew of beef cooked in beer, similar to boeuf bourguignon. The beer used is typically the regional speciality: lambic in Brussels, De Koninck in Antwerp, so that the taste of the dish varies. Another is rabbit in gueuze. The Trappist monastery at Chimay also manufactures cheese that is "washed" with beer to enhance its flavor.[11]
Belgium is famed for its high quality chocolate and over 2,000[12] chocolatiers, both small and large. Belgium's association with chocolate goes back as far as 1635[12] when the country was under Spanish occupation. By the mid 18th century, chocolate was extremely popular in upper and middle class circles, particularly in the form of hot chocolate, including with Charles-Alexander of Lorraine, the Austrian governor of the territory.[13] From the early 20th century, the country was able to import large quantities of cocoa from its African colony, the Belgian Congo. Both the chocolate bar and praline are inventions of the Belgian chocolate industry.[14] Today, chocolate is very popular in Belgium, with 172,000 tonnes produced each year, and widely exported.[12]
The composition of Belgian chocolate has been regulated by law since 1884. In order to prevent adulteration of the chocolate with low-quality fats from other sources, a minimum level of 35% pure cocoa was imposed.[15] Adherence to traditional manufacturing techniques also serves to increase the quality of Belgian chocolate. In particular, vegetable-base fats are not used.[16] Many firms produce chocolates by hand, which is laborious and explains the prevalence of small, independent chocolate outlets, which are popular with tourists. Famous chocolate companies, like Neuhaus and Guylian, strictly follow traditional (and sometimes secret) recipes for their products.
Seafood pralines (pralines shaped like sea shells or fish) are popular with tourists and are sold all over Belgium.

Bland, Small portions, expensive, and bad customer service – My first time ordering food and definitely my last. The portion size is really small compared to other restaurants and any meat in the food is almost not even there. My chow mien had one little piece of chicken in it. The egg roles are half filled. I was also overcharged. I feel ripped off and greasy. YUCK
Lousy Customer Service - Screaming Crazy woman!!!!! TERRIBLE FOOD!!! – Customer service is horrible!!!!!! THE FOOD IS HORRENDOUS. DON"T GO HERE, THe woman who owns this place wanted to call the police on me because I was dissatisfied with a dish and wanted to send it back, she screamed and screamed at me until my husband and I left the restaurant. CRAZY WOMAN. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.

Wow Lukias, I know you've heard this a dozen times on every page of this thread, but your work is absolutely beautiful and inspiring.
I'm really interested in the way you do your sketches - they're unusual, but very moving. I haven't had time to look at every page yet, but if it hasn't been mentioned before, do you think that there's a possibility you could upload a video of you working on some sketches? I'd love to watch some of them come together.
Subscribed to your sketchbook. <3

Whether you're looking for a quick beauty fix or must-try workouts, we've rounded up the best how-to's for gorgeous gams.
1. Do a Serious Scrub
Sloughing off dead skin cells is vital to snagging a glowing complexion below the belt (plus, alligator legs are pretty unsightly). Just be careful not to scrub too often or too hard. Stick to two to three times for oily skin and no more than once a week for sensitive skin.
2. Make Your Shower Do Double Duty
Tub-time is the perfect place to squeeze in a few calf raises while you suds up. Switch the stream to cool water and your body will work overtime to maintain your normal temp.
3. Fight Off Cellulite
While there's no magic cure to get rid of cellulite, you can reduce its appearance. Deal with the dimples on the cheap with a daily dose of firming cream, which usually contains skin-tightening ingredients, like caffeine and seaweed. Bonus Tip: Amp up circulation to these spots by smoothing over pesky bumps with a massager or rolling pin, too!
4. Sequester Your Saddlebags
Feeling hippy in your jeggings? "Try a resistance band step-touch," claims celebrity personal trainer Terri Walsh. "Loop a resistance band around your ankles, and stretch the band to the side in a step-touch motion. Your hip and saddlebag areas will appear tighter and smoother instantly."
5. Remove Your Stubble
When there's no time for waxing or laser treatments, revert back to your hair removal ABCs and give your bod a good, ole fashioned at-home hair-removal session. Hairless legs reflect more light, creating the illusion of slimmer stems.
6. Get Toned
While tanned legs may be at the top of every gal's summer to-do list, toned legs are just as important for rocking cut-off shorts. We recommend side leg-lifts if you prefer calisthenics, or inversion poses (even modified ones!) if yoga's more your speed.
7. Tackle Ingrown Hairs
Bumps and burns will not make you feel date-ready. Shop around for a gentle cream that exfoliates ingrowns while soothing irritated skin. We like the Malin + Goetz Ingrown Hair Cream ($34; malinandgoetz.com) for its plant-based ingredients.
8. Do Wall Sits
"If you feel like your inner-thighs are looking less than toned, place a book or a yoga block between your knees as you sit with your back up against a wall, with your knees bent and the back of your legs parallel to the floor. Hold this position for up to five minutes. Your legs will definitely feel less jiggly," suggests Walsh.
9. Get Glowing
Our favorite way to get news-anchor gams sans shimmery oils, is to apply a gradual-build self-tanning moisturizer everyday. Use one in place of your regular body lotion, and after a subtle glow will appear after a few days. We like Jergens Daily Glow Moisturizer ($5.99, amazon.com).
10. Shape Up
Thinking about wearing a mid-thigh shaper with pants or maxi skirts? Don't. "I recommend that people go with a style that doesn't stop on the thigh. It's always better to create a line by wearing a bum-shaping brief or footless pantyhose instead," explains Spanx founder Sarah Blakely.
11. Contour Your Legs
"When wearing short skirts, add a little highlighter up the center of each leg to contour," suggests Meredith Baraf, who preps Victoria's Secret models for the catwalk. "This trick reflects light to the middle of the leg and recedes over the outer leg, making your gams look leaner and longer."
12. Cover Imperfections
The right heavy-duty concealer (one designed for the body, not the face) can really disguise spider veins. Opt for a long-wearing, water-resistant formula like Dermablend Leg and Body Cover Crème ($18, amazon.com).
13.Tighten Up
Not loving your legs in that mini skirt? For instantly tighter-looking skin, rub baby oil on your stems (especially along the shin bone) to create the illusion of longer legs. Go for a drugstore score, such a Johnson's Baby Oil with Aloe Vera ($4.99-$9.49, soap.com).
14. Thwart Sun Damage
To prevent scars and stretch marks from getting darker with sun exposure, slather them with sunscreen. At night, apply a scar-minimizing topical to old wounds and new stretch marks to repair damaged tissue.
15. Tighten Your Thighs
Try this during the next commercial break: "Stand up straight, with your feet hip-width apart and try to lift your right leg hip-level high," adds Walsh. "Attempt to hold this for one minute, then switch sides. Your thighs will feel leaner, pulled in and tighter." (Just don't try this in heels!)
16. At-Home Moves
You can even exercise, while you wait for your coffee to brew! Lie on you back, with your legs bent and you feet planted on the ground, hip-width apart. Pin your shoulders and head to the floor and gently raise your pelvis towards the ceiling, while pulling in your stomach. Do 20-30 reps of this move every day for a tighter tush.
17. Do Extra Cardio
Have five minutes to spare before going out? Run up and down your stairs or get a sturdy step-ladder and do 100 up-and-down movements. (Add dumbbell presses to burn extra calories!)
18. Fix Uneven Tanner
Having a subtle glow is sexy, having weird streaks on your legs isn't. Body expert and owner of Completely Bare, Cindy Barshop, says all you need to even out a tan is a sugar exfoliator and a lemon. First, exfoliate the blotchy area with a sugar and lemon juice scrub. When your skin is completely dry apply a gradual sunless tanner directly on the clean area and finish off with a blow dryer (on the cool setting) to get the tanner to dry completely.
19. Wear Skin-toned Shoes
Calling all petites! "If you've got shorter legs, wear skin-toned shoes," advises Marcia Kilgore, founder of Bliss, Fit Flops, and Soap & Glory. "They don't cut your legs off at the ankle, which gives you another couple of inches, visually."
20. Take The Stairs
Wear your stilettos up the stairs to add an extra calf-tingling element to your regular strolling. Stomping up 20 sets of stairs can burn up to 100 calories!

text: New Test Available for Angus Influenced Cattle Lethal gene identified. Published on: Jun 15, 2009 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Neurophathic Hydrocephalus is a lethal genetic defect that affects Angus and Angus-influenced cattle. Calves carrying two recessive genes—resulting from the mating of two carrier animals—are born dead with an extremely large cranium with little or no brain matter or spinal cord. A large%age of mortalities relating to NH occur through embryonic or fetal loss during gestation, which causes the defect to go misdiagnosed or unnoticed. Dr. Jon Beever at the University of Illinois and Dr. David Steffen at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in collaboration with the American Angus Association, have identified the gene mutation responsible for NH and a commercial test has been developed and validated. The new diagnostic test is now available through Pfizer Animal Genetics. Also, Pfizer Animal Genetics has been approved by the American Angus Association as an NH testing laboratory. Pfizer Animal Genetics has proactively worked to expand its testing capacity in order to provide results to producers in a timely manner. Samples are being tested in the order in which they are received at the new laboratory located in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Antwayn Hopper, Okieriete Onaodowan and More Star in Old Globe's THE BROTHERS SIZE - Full Cast Announced!
The Old Globe today announced the complete cast and creative team for the Southern California premiere of The Brothers Size by award-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney. Directed by Tea Alagi?, The Brothers Size will run Jan. 26 - Feb. 24, 2013 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.

Infused with the music and rhythms of the South, The Brothers Size blends West African mythology with a modern-day story of the Louisiana bayou. After his release from prison, Oshoosi Size seeks out his brother, Ogun, who is an upright and law-abiding car mechanic. When their family is threatened by the reappearance of Elegba, a figure from Oshoosi's past, they must learn what it truly means to be brothers. The Brothers Size is part of McCraney's acclaimed trilogy The Brother/Sister Plays, which also includes In the Red and Brown Water and Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet and which garnered McCraney London's Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright.
"The love that binds Ogun and Oshoosi Size is primal, the stuff of myth and fable," said Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. "Tarell Alvin McCraney is a writer brave and bold enough to take on such big material and such eternal themes. The Brothers Size establishes Tarell as one of the most original and unique talents working today. His exciting play, in the wonderful Tea Alagi?'s production, will give San Diego audiences a chance to hear a voice that's sure to shape the future of the American theater."
The cast of The Brothers Size features Antwayn Hopper (Elegba), Okieriete Onaodowan (Oshoosi Size) and Gilbert Owuor (Ogun Henri Size).
The creative team includes Peter Ksander (Scenic Design), Michelle Hunt Souza (Costume Design), Gina Scherr (Lighting Design), Paul Peterson (Sound Design), Jonathan Melville Pratt (Original Music, Percussionist), Jan Gist (Dialect Coach), Caparelliotis Casting (Casting) and Diana Moser (Stage Manager).
The Brothers Size is supported in part through gifts from Production Sponsors Microsoft and National Corporate Theatre Fund.
Playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney is best known for his acclaimed trilogy, The Brother/Sister Plays: The Brothers Size, In the Red and Brown Water and Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet. They have been performed at McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, The Public Theater in New York, Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago and at a trio of theaters in the Bay Area (Marin Theatre Company, American Conservatory Theater and Magic Theatre), as well as the Young Vic in London (Olivier Award nomination) and around the world. His other plays include The Breach (Southern Rep, Seattle Repertory Theatre), Wig Out! (Sundance Institute Theatre Lab, Royal Court Theatre, Vineyard Theatre, GLAAD Award for Outstanding New York Theater: Broadway and Off-Broadway) and American Trade (Royal Shakespeare Company and Hampstead Theatre). Steppenwolf Theatre Company, where he is an ensemble member, will produce the world premiere of his commissioned play Head of Passes in April 2013. His play Choir Boy, commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club, will be produced there in June 2013 and previously played to sold-out crowds at The Royal Court Theatre in London this past fall. McCraney was the Royal Shakespeare Company's International Playwright in Residence from 2008 to 2010 where he co-edited and directed the Young People's Shakespeare production of Hamlet, which toured throughout the U.K. and was presented at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. He is the recipient of the prestigious Whiting Writers' Award and Steinberg Playwright Award as well as London's Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright, the inaugural New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award and the inaugural Paula Vogel Award in Playwriting.

Astronauts Pay a Visit to Surveyor 3
NASA's Amazing Daily Image
On April 17, 1967, NASA's Surveyor 3 spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., on a mission to the lunar surface. A little more than two years after it landed on the moon with the goal of paving the way for a future human mission, the Surveyor 3 spacecraft got a visit from Apollo 12 Commander Charles Conrad Jr. and astronaut Alan L. Bean, who snapped this photo on November 20, 1969. After Surveyor 1's initial studies of the lunar surface in 1966, Surveyor 3 made further inroads into preparations for human missions to the moon. Using a surface sampler to study the lunar soil, Surveyor 3 conducted experiments to see how the lunar surface would fare against the weight of an Apollo lunar module. The moon lander, which was the second of the Surveyor series to make a soft landing on the moon, also gathered information on the lunar soil's radar reflectivity and thermal properties in addition to transmitting more than 6,000 photographs of its surroundings. The Apollo 12 Lunar Module, visible in the background at right, landed about 600 feet from Surveyor 3 in the Ocean of Storms. The television camera and several other pieces were taken from Surveyor 3 and brought back to Earth for scientific examination. Here, Conrad examines the Surveyor's TV camera prior to detaching it. Astronaut Richard F. Gordon Jr. remained with the Apollo 12 Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit while Conrad and Bean descended in the LM to explore the moon. > Apollo 12 and Surveyor 3 > Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Looks at Apollo 12, Surveyor 3 Landing Sites Image Credit: NASA

Danny Limor
(Creator/Writer/Artist -
Neutron City Comix
Danny Limor is a Super-Genius Time Traveler who has been drawing since he was strong enough to lift a pencil. Now he is mighty and able to lift MANY pencils. He is a relative newcomer to the field of webcomics having spent ten years prior performing as a traveling Stand-Up Comedian. Deciding to radically change his career path, Danny finally started chasing his childhood dream of making comics for a living. His style of drawing has always been a sort of cute and kid-friendly and since the bulk of his experience as a wordsmith consisted of writing funny jokes and one-liners, the Comic Strip format seemed a natural fit. He currently writes and draws the funniest comic on the whole computernet according to his mother who would also like to point out that he's single, while his father seems to think he's completely wasting his time and wants to know if he ever intends to find a REAL job. What a kidder!
