Phoenix >Food & Dining > Kincaid's Fish Chop & Steak
2 S 3rd St, Phoenix, AZ | Directions 8500433.447708 -112.070093
Neighborhoods: Central City, Collier Center, Downtown Phoenix
Mediocre in all respects – 6 people in our group on 4/8/10. Two meals improperly cooked & sent back, slow service, mediocre food quality, food did not appear or taste fresh. Will not go back, would not recommend to anyone....ever.
Tasty food... if only it were all about taste – We arrived and were seated in the bar. We ordered their "special" margarita, served in a martini glass, while we looked over the menu. The drinks were delivered promptly and we ordered our food. My wife opted for the Bleu Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Steak, which she ordered well done (more about this later), and I ordered one of their "trio" options with Meatloaf, Short Rib and "Hawaiian Glazed" Ribs. I also ordered a starter of Bleu Cheese Wraps on a bed of greens. The wait was not long for the starter as it arrived shortly, but this is where things started to go downhill. The waitress came back by and asked us if we wanted another drink. We ordered a glass of red wine with our dinner. The waitress brought our wine (about 10 minutes later) and informed us that, because my wife's steak was ordered well done, it would take just a little longer. Temporarily mollified, we sipped our wine, thinking our dinner would be arriving shortly. I notice that other people that came in after us had already eaten and were paying their bill. Fifteen minutes later, the wine gone, our server says our food is coming out right now. She offers to buy us dessert, to which I respond that we will probably not have time for dessert as our concert starts in 45 minutes. She comes back in about 10 minutes with our food announcing that she will throw in two more glasses of wine because of our wait. I give her credit for this.
We waited this long for our food and some of it is stone cold. My "Hawaiian Glazed" ribs tasted like they just came out of the refrigerator and there is no glaze to speak of. The short ribs and the meatloaf are warm, not hot, but actually taste very good. My wife says her steak is good, but, it too, seems cold. This was what supposedly held up our meal, so we would have expected it to be hot.
Had it not been for the long wait and cold food I would have rated Kincaid's a lot higher. The flavor of the food was really good. I would return to give them another chance.
Service makes whole experience unbearable – Having moved from Seattle a few years ago I was really looking forward to a "northwest experience" restaurant, and was favorably inclined before arriving. Unfortunately,we were disappointed. I didn't even mind the overpricing as this was expected before hand! The food was quite good. My husband's short ribs were very tender and the fillet "Oscar" was done right. The side dishes were delicious. It was the service that was unbearable. Our waitress was rude, unfriendly and timing was simply not in her repertoire. Answers to questions were very curt. After receiving ice teas w/out sugar I waited a long time for a return then asked for the sugar; then waited another 15 minutes to receive it. When my husband's glass was empty he had to finally ask a manager for a refill. Meat was served without a steak knife. When we asked for doggy bags we were looked at like we were piranha. We asked for a dessert menu and more ice tea. We tried to order dessert, but waited 20 more minutes till the tea arrived but by then we said we could not wait any longer to order dessert and asked for our bill - another 20 minute wait. My husband's theory was perhaps we were treated so rudely because we did not order alcohol and appetizers- we were trying to leave room for dessert. Yet, I saw others without alcohol and they were treated better. It may even be the restaurant 's fault for not putting on more wait-staff on a busy evening; but if this was the reason, it would still not excuse the manners (or lack thereof), of our server . I have dined all over the world- from ethnic neighborhoods to 5 star cuisine - but have never been treated this rudely. My spouse said he would rather dine at "In & Out Burger" than ever go there again. I've never written a review, but this time, I felt people definitely needed to know before spending their money here.
avoid period – Our dining experience at Kincaids was at best, disappointing. It started upon arrival with a phony greeting and then an ear shrieking yell for someone to come and seat us. As we wallked through the dining room we noticed that there were not many people in the restaurant which was a good thing since we needed to get back to work. We sat at our table with no attention for about 12 minutes when finally a wrinkled waitress came over and said that she would be with us shortly. After about another 5 minutes, she returned to take our order where we explained to her that we needed to hurry and get back to work since now we have already lost about 20 minutes in the initial greet. I ordered her recommendation of the halibut cheeks which she said were the house specialty and my friend ordered asiago almond crusted scallops. Of course the server brought the wrong drinks on the first attempt. Finally she brought us our diet sodas, but she never delivered the bread that was promised. The entrees arrived pretty quick which pleased us since we were in a crunch, however what was delivered was almost inedible. The cheeks were some of the greasiest items I have ever seen on a plate and smothered in a broken down butter sauce which paired well with the soggy, limp sugar snap peas that accompanied them. My friends scallops were well done with a hint of burn on the outer crust (and I mean crust) served over some bland overcooked orzo pasta. We stomached what we could but did not eat most of it. The waitress never even acknowledged that both of our plates were mostly untouched, just dropped the check and didn't offer dessert or coffee. As I passed the kitchen and front desk area to go to the bathroom, I heard more shouting from a tall man in a chef coat for servers to come and run their food. I'm not quite sure when yelling became a desirable environment for dining. All in all I do not reccomend this shabby establishment and wish you luck if you try it.
Clubby room-with-a-view dishes out steak and seafood for downtown diners. – In Short
Whether it's game day or opera night, Kincaid's caters to all downtown crowds with its lively bar scene, romantic view and quality chops and seafood. Located on the second tier of the Collier Center, Kincaid's offers grilled chipotle tiger prawns, napped with barbecue hollandaise, as well as jumbo Alaskan sea scallops, drizzled with Cabernet Sauvignon and beurre blanc sauces. Another favorite is the house-smoked top sirloin rubbed with juniper seasoning.
Not just a "steak house" – This comfortable restaurant has become our Anniversary tradition. We moved from Seattle Washington and didn't want to miss out on our yearly tradition of Copper River Salmon on our anniversary. We found Kincaid's is one of the few places in Arizona that has it flown in fresh so we made reservations our first year here and have continued. They create new recipes every year so it's always a delightful surprise. The staff is very warm, friendly and professional, making our dining experience memorable every time we go there.

A Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy is expected to recover after what's being described as an accidental shooting on the northside.
We're told it happened in the 26-hundred block of Grayson Way--where the deputy was with his wife--who is a realtor--and another person--at a scheduled showing of a home for sale.
"There was no answer, so the realtor--using information she had as a realtor--gained access in to the house" said Paul Berry with the Bexar County Sheriff's Department. That;'s when the homeowner--who had appartently been in the shower--was startled to find three people inside.
"She grabbed a ahndgun and fired one shot--hitting our off-duty deputy" Berry said.
"She grabbed a ahndgun and fired one shot--hitting our off-duty deputy" Berry said.
The Deputy--described as a twenty-year veteran of the department--was rushed to University Hospital. We're told he was not in uniform--nor wearing anything at the time of the shooting that might have identified him as a deputy or any sort of law enforcement officer.

Blame the '70s. That's when David O. Russell's new film is set, and it stars Bradley Cooper as a federal agent with a crazily curly head of (permed) hair. Is it the most distracting hairstyle on a male lead, though? Hardly. We combed through an archive of scary locks, and plucked some choice ones for your amusement.--Beth Greenfield, Shine Staff

Hi Liz,
Odd looking hardware.........
It looks like the top picture shows the 'front door' on the left side and it still has an adjustment screw of some sort, yes?
Usually, as you may know, the 'front' door of the pair has to come off first, by tilting the bottom out, and then lifting the roller off the top track. However, it looks like you've got a bottom roller guide as well, yes?
The bottom ones look like they're spring loaded to keep constant tension, so there must be a way to grab them where they can be compressed and removed.
I have no clue if I'm helping you...........but I love a mystery!

Love them
Tender Tree Pocket Invitations I immediately loved the tender tree design. The design process was great, getting to change wording and colors right on my computer and then seeing the "finished product". I would definitely recommend getting the free sample pack. It shows you the quality of printing, and they also include a sheet with all of the printing colors on it. Many of them look very different than what they look like on your computer screen. I changed a few of my choices after I saw the color-swab sheet. After ordering (but before they were printed), i had to make a few changes. That was never a problem (make sure you don't approve the design until you are sure. . .I accidentally did, but then I called and they "unapproved" it for me so that I could request changes before it went to print). They returned emails and made the changes very quickly and were really nice about it (I was worried that once I had paid they may be less hospitable, but that was not the case). They came really quick in the mail too. Also, I had been expecting that since it was a folded design with a pocket, they would come disassembled and require a little folding and gluing on my part (which I was ok with). However, they arrived completely assembled. Bonus! Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with magnet street. The product is beautiful and was affordable (keep an eye on the rotating deals on the home page. . .i got 20% off my order!) The staff were very helpful.
Amazing Invitations
Tender Tree Pocket Invitations These are the invitations I had dreamed of for our wedding. I could not be more pleased with how they turned out and was amazed at how quickly they showed up at our door step. Magnet street has been so helpful and wonderful and I would definitely reccommend them to all future brides out there! I can't wait to see how our wedding programs and thank you notes turn out. I will definitely be going through Magnet Street to get them as well. I also got our save the dates through Magnet Street and they couldn't be more wonderful. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! -One Happy Bride, Lauren Hible
Excellent Quality, Better Customer Service!
Tender Tree Pocket Invitations I am so pleased with the invitations, I couldn't stop looking at them! The designer made my customizations perfectly, the customer service person made sure my colors went well together (through all my projects), they made a last minute change for me before the invitations went to print, and they sent them so fast!! I am in love with them! I have been telling everyone I know about MagnetStreet! Their online ordering process, and customization, made ordering my invitations, enclosure cards, RSVPs, and accessories a snap! I will use them again!
Perfect Design!
Carved in Love - Autumn Pocket Invitations I love our invitations! They look amazing & the paper quality is so nice! The colors are very vibrant & really portray that fall theme! The order arrived very quickly too!
1000 times better than I had hoped
Carved in Love - Autumn Pocket Invitations The images online do not give this invitation any justice. I just received my order yesterday and I am so very happy with the way they turned out. The material is fantastic. It has a slight sheen to it as well as a texture engraved in the actual material (far beyond card stock). The invite seems like it would be waterproof, but i dont suggest trying this theory. So very pleased with this, thankful I found this website!!

Organizations now use SharePoint globally, which often means that you may need to provide user access to all or just some content for business, security and compliance reasons. Replicator eliminates this problem by delivering the right content to different divisions and locations. You manage a master content database at headquarters and decide what to share with remote farms, with granularity from entire web applications to specific list item.
Synchronizing SharePoint farms in remote offices or offshore locations can be tricky. Spotty network bandwidth and slow connections pose
huge hurdles. Replicator overcomes these hurdles by automatically adapting to changing network conditions and rerouting content where it needs to go.
Replicator finds the most efficient path across your network when syncing content across multiple farms. Content follows users as they go through their workday, regardless of where they are located. Replicator scales as your organization grows, ensuring that content is in-sync with your users. Replicator can sync immediately after changes happen or on a regular schedule, boosting productivity and collaboration and reducing errors and operational risks.
SharePoint is constantly evolving, with organizations deploying new versions regularly. Replicator provides the ability to synchronize content between distant farms across any combination of SharePoint 2007, 2010 and 2013. Keep SharePoint in sync during a migration, merger, and acquisition or when sharing content with an organization outside of your network.
Outages happen. Yet your content must be "always on" for customers, partners and employees. Set up a safety net by replicating content across multiple SharePoint farms. Give users continuous access to SharePoint even if any part of your environment fails. Use Replicator for uptime during power, system or network failures and planned outages.
Want to use the Cloud to improve high availability or remote access? Replicate all or some of your content to Azure, Amazon or other cloud providers. Replicator's fast SharePoint synchronization and low bandwidth requirements make it the ideal SharePoint replication solution to extend content to the Cloud.
Share documents with partners and customers by setting up a server outside your firewall and synchronizing with headquarters. Replicator works through firewalls and ensures security when extending your business to external business partners.
Rank what replicates first, because your financial data is more important than company party pictures. Classify and prioritize content based on important site collections, list items or metadata such as document type, file size, or file name. Ensure the most important content is available and distributed on time.
Resolve document version conflicts according to rules you define, either manually or automatically. For example, if the date on an inbound item is older than the date on an existing item, specify whether to skip it, replace it, or create a report for further review. Email team members about conflicts for faster resolution.
See your overall SharePoint layout to verify you've made the right connections and your content arrives in time. Verify the status of all your SharePoint replication activity over multiple servers, across distant farms, in one place. Drill down to see detailed traffic information and view replication trends by day, week, or month. Confidently know where your documents are in your SharePoint landscape.

According to this recent report from The Hill, after Senator Scott Brown's (R-MA) decision to oppose the DISCLOSE Act, the bill's fate now rests in the hands of the following senators: Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Ben Nelson (D-NE):
Democrats had hoped Brown would provide key support to move forward with the Disclose Act, which has been criticized by many Republicans and free-market groups as infringing on free speech. With Democrats in control of only 59 Senate seats, they need at least one Republican to reach the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster and move forward with the bill.
With their hopes for a Brown yes vote now dashed, Democrats and watchdog groups are training their lobbying fire on GOP Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, two Maine centrists who along with Brown have played decisive roles in a bevy of controversial summer bills.
The pair have been vocal supporters of past campaign-finance bills but have been tight-lipped about how they plan to vote on the Disclose Act, although Snowe denounced the Supreme Court decision after it was first issued.
Their offices did not respond to requests for comment from The Hill.
Democrats also could lose the support of two centrist Democrats, Sens. Ben Nelson (Neb.) and Blanche Lincoln (Ark.) — who is locked in a tight reelection contest — making Republican support even more crucial to overcoming an expected GOP filibuster.
Furthermore, the Daily Caller quotes Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as saying on Tuesday that she won't vote for the DISCLOSE Act as long as long as it has exemptions for the NRA and other groups. Last month, Senator Frank Lautenburg (D-NJ) said that he would not vote for the Act if it contained the NRA carve-out.
As we've noted on various occasions, the DISCLOSE Act is a blatant attempt to stifle speech in order to protect incumbents' reelection prospects. Whether it lives or dies is up to the above-mentioned Senators. If they still need help making up their minds, we suggest that they dust off their copies of the Constitution and read a certain amendment that talks about how they're supposed to "make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech."

George Zimmerman may be in for the satirical treatment from "South Park." The Comedy Central series offers an episode called "World War Zimmerman" at 10 p.m. Wednesday (tonight).
But Zimmerman is getting the serious treatment, too. Anderson Cooper will present "Tragedy on Trial: The George Zimmerman Story" at 10 p.m. Sunday. The program is presented under the banner "Anderson Cooper Special Report."
In July, Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in the 2012 fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Sanford.
What can viewers expect from "South Park"?
Comedy Central isn't saying anything beyond a synopsis: "Cartman is deeply disturbed by a single person who he sees as a threat to all humanity. He races around the country to put an end to patient zero, the ticking time bomb that is Token."

I decided I wanted to do away with my Orcon Genius phone as it was having regular issues and instead use my Samsung Galaxy SIII to make and receive both land-line and mobile phone calls when I am at home. (My android phone has built-in SIP support)
Seeing as Orcon don't like letting their end users know their SIP password, I had to retrieve it by other means and I decided to pass my technique onto you guys encase you are wanting to use a third party Router, VOIP phone, Smart Phone, or one of the many open source VOIP software solutions that are available. As an alternative solution
Step one.
Log into your Orcon Genius router and navigate to the 'Handy Tools' page and at the bottom of the page select 'Backup' and save the file to your PC
Step Two.
Locate the backup file that you have saved to your PC and open it using Notepad
Step Three.
Do a search within Notebook (ctrl + f) for: <AuthPassword>
Step Four.
Copy the code that appears between: <AuthPassword> </AuthPassword> (this is your encrypted password)
Copy the code that appears between <AuthUserName> </AuthUserName> (this should be your phone number minus the first digit)
Copy the address that appears between: <sip_server> </sip_server> (This is your SIP server)
Step Five.
We now have to decrypt your password as it is currently encrypted with Base 64. To do this go to one of the many online Base 64 decoding sites or you can use this one.
Paste your encrypted password into the box and hit 'Decode'
Take note of the outputted code as this is your password (do not copy the symbol that appears at the end of the code)
You now have your:
- SIP server address
- SIP Username (phone number minus first digit)
- SIP Password

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom did not play for his native Sweden in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Canada in the gold medal game of the Sochi Olympics because he failed a doping test.
Swedish Olympic Committee spokesman Bjorn Folin said Backstrom tested positive for a substance found in an allergy medication that he has taken for seven years, according to The Associated Press.
The NHL released a statement Sunday about Backstrom's failed test, indicating that he will not face discipline by the league.
"We understand that Nicklas Backstrom tested positive for a substance banned 'in competition' by the International Olympic Committee," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "It is our further understanding that the positive test was the result of a common allergy medication taken by the player knowingly, with the approval of the team doctor and without the intention of gaining an illegal or improper performance-enhancing benefit. In addition, the specific substance that resulted in the positive test is not currently on the League's Prohibited Substances List.
"Subject to confirmation of the facts as we understand them, and given the fact that the substance is neither prohibited in the NHL nor was used in an improper manner here, we do not anticipate there being any consequences relative to Nicklas' eligibility to participate in games for the Washington Capitals."
Backstrom finished the Olympics tied for the team lead with four assists and tied for third in points while playing on Sweden's top line.
For the Capitals this season, Backstrom has 11 goals and 45 assists in 59 games.

AMARILLO, Texas — A federal judge in Texas says a JetBlue Airways pilot who disrupted a flight by running through the plane and yelling about terrorists can go free.
JetBlue pilot Clayton Frederick Osbon, right, is escorted to a waiting vehicle by FBI agents as he is released from The Pavilion at Northwest Texas Hospital, in Amarillo, Texas, in this In this April 2, 2012, photo. Osbon was charged with interference with a flight crew for his behavior on the March 27 flight from New York to Las Vegas.
AP / Amarillo Globe-News, Michael Schumacher
The ruling Friday in Amarillo comes months after Clayton Osbon was found not guilty by reason of insanity for his behavior on a March 27 flight from New York to Las Vegas. Osbon had been charged with interference with a flight crew.
A neuropsychologist testified at the bench trial in July that Osbon had a "brief psychotic disorder" brought on by lack of sleep. In August Osbon had another psychotic episode while in prison for a mental evaluation, which was ordered by U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson.
Robinson extended the evaluation before issuing her latest ruling.

How Dying Light allows full freedom of movement

Dying Light trailer questions your humanity
by Alice O'Connor, shacknews.com, Feb 11, 2014 8:20AM PST
Living in a world overrun by zombies is pretty bad, entertainment media would have us believe. Rather than simply embrace the futility of life and welcome death's warm embrace with a smile, we're to think, we'd sink lower and lower and lose more and more of ourselves. A new Dying Light trailer takes this dubious stance, asking what happens to humanity after the fall of civilisation in the Dead Island creator's first-person parkour-o-shooter. Read more
Dying Light trailer shows 10 minutes of gameplay

Dying Light may be yet another open-world zombie game from Techland, but the Dead Island creator seems to be trying something a little different this time. Rather than simply mowing down hordes of zombies, players will be more inclined to run away and dodge the corpses, using fancy parkour skills, as a new 10-minute gameplay trailer demonstrates.

Dying Light trailer shows off 'next-gen' lighting

If you were boasting about using "the muscle of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One" to deliver a "truly next-gen experience," you'd want to really show it off, wouldn't you? Dying Light is a bit shy, apparently. A new trailer created to show off the shiny "physically based lighting system" in developer Techland's new open-world zombie 'em up only has thirty seconds of in-engine footage, though it certainly is pretty.

Dying Light brings parkour to land of zombies

Dramatic Roses Save the Date Magnets These save the dates came out beautifully. The proof really gave us the confidence to buy the larger quantity. The colors are very vibrant. We also purchased return label seals and they came out great too. Everything came in a nicely packaged box and exactly when the website said it would. I had also called customer service ahead of ordering and they picked up the phone right away and helped answer my questions. I will definately buy our invitations from magnetstreet!
Great Magnet
Dramatic Roses Save the Date Magnets We love this magnet! We expected the photo quality to be a little better and wish you could customize things a little more; but overall we love it. We'll definitely be looking at magnetStreet for our invitations too.
Professional Quality
Dramatic Roses Save the Date Magnets I liked my save the date magnets. I was a little disappointed with the coloring of my photo. I feel that it came out orange looking but didn't look like that on the computer. Nothing I can do about already bought 120. However, the quality is great. I was worried that they might have been damaged with all the rain we had this week. However, it came in a magnetic box and everything was protected. I would recommend this product. It's probably better to pick a black and white photo to be on the safe side.

Mario Cristobal is in his first year as the Tide's offensive line coach after five seasons as the head coach at Florida International and a few weeks at Miami earlier this year.
Cristobal's task is rebuilding arguably the team's most important unit. Last season's offensive line was widely regarded as the best in the country under Jeff Stoutland, who left the Tide for the same position with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Generally, the offensive line is the closest group on most teams. Linemen spend more time with each other and their individual success largely depends on the other four guys that make up the line. Tide coach Nick Saban said the players have embraced Cristobal.
"You always worry when you have a new coach about how they're going to respond, because the coach is a big part of that," Saban said. "That's been something that has been a real smooth transition for us. The players take to Mario very easily. He's very enthusiastic. I think he's a good teacher. He really works hard with each player and cares about the players. He does a very good job with recruiting as well. He's been a real positive. His energy and enthusiasm has been a very positive addition to our staff."
LEWIS, EDWARDS SPEAK TO TIDE: Throughout preseason practice, Alabama brings in various speakers to give players different life lessons. Two speakers this week were former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and former NFL coach and ESPN analyst Herm Edwards. Saban said Lewis and Edwards were two of the best speakers the players could hope for.
"Both guys talked a lot about what it takes to be a man, but really that most things that you regret the most is if you don't take advantage of your gifts," Saban said.
Linebacker C.J. Mosley was able to get some one-on-one time with Lewis before his speech. Mosley idolized Lewis growing up. He said meeting the two-time Super Bowl champion was an eye-opening experience."Just the way he just was in his self every day, as far as on the field and off the field," Mosley said. "Just to see it off the field in person, you basically know what he's doing on the field, you can see his emotion, you can see his leadership off the field and how you affect other people. Just to be in the room with him and him still bringing the same passion, even though he's done with football, you can still tell if it wasn't for time he'd probably still be playing right now."

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Kevin Thomas email@example.com
Staff Writer
BOSTON - In cozy Fenway Park, where meeting space is sparse, media members were blocked from entering the interview room Saturday for their daily pregame chat with Red Sox Manager John Farrell.
Jacoby Ellsbury crosses the plate with the winning run in the 10th inning Saturday, scoring on Shane Victorino's infield single to give the Red Sox a 2-1 victory against Tampa Bay. The catcher is Jose Lobaton.
The Associated Press
The room was occupied. Seems the hitters were still there for their pregame meeting. When it comes to facing David Price, your preparation goes into overtime.
The hitters did their job, working counts and getting Price's pitch count up, but the Red Sox also used their ultimate weapon:
Jon Lester.
Billed as the classic duel between opposing aces, the Red Sox-Rays game lived up to the hype.
Lester: seven innings, five hits, one run, no walks, five strikeouts.
Price: six innings, four hits, one run, two walks, eight strikeouts.
They turned it over to the bullpens and the Red Sox finally broke through in the 10th with an unearned run.
Big, big win. Boston is coming to rely on Lester as well as today's starter, Clay Buchholz. Boston is 5-0 in their starts.
Pretty impressive for Lester when you consider he's faced CC Sabathia and last year's Cy Young Award winners, R.A. Dickey and Price.
"Jon threw the ball well. We come to expect that from him," said catcher David Ross.
If Boston can ride its arms -- and Lester got solid backup from three (of four) relievers -- then the Red Sox may be on to something.
Lester and Price have come up through their organizations. They appeared in a game together almost five years ago.
Remember that game on Oct. 19, 2008, in the comfortably artificial conditions of domed Tropicana Field (as opposed to the 44 degrees Saturday at Fenway)?
Lester got the start in that one, too. It was Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Lester retired the first nine batters, and eventually allowed three runs over seven innings, trailing 3-1 when he left.
But the Red Sox had a rally going. Kevin Youkilis walked to load the bases with two outs in the eighth inning. J.D. Drew was coming to bat.
Price, a rookie with 15 innings of major league experience, entered and struck out Drew on four pitches. He pitched a scoreless ninth for the save and the Rays' first appearance in the World Series.
Price's career continued to rise, culminating in a 20-5 record last year and the Cy Young Award.
Lester? He went 19-9 in 2010. His 15-9 season in 2011 was soured by the September collapse, then he tailspinned like everyone else last year (9-14, 4.82).
"We fully expected Jon to get back to the levels he pitched before," said Farrell, Boston's pitching coach from 2007-2010.
"He's healthy. He's got good stuff. There's no reason why he should not get back to that performance level. And he's doing that."
Lester, now with a 1.42 ERA, looked in trouble early Saturday. Over the second and third innings, he allowed four hits in a span of five batters, including a single and Sean Rodriguez's RBI double to begin the third inning. Rodriguez sprinted to third on a wild pitch.
No outs. It was then that Lester, 29 showed the maturity and savvy of a veteran.
"He did a good job of adjusting," Ross said.
Lester began to throw over the top more, getting his fastball lower. And he began mixing in change-ups.
"Had to get the ball down and change speeds," Lester said. "They're obviously a very good fastball-hitting team. Had to just keep grinding it out and think down, down, down."
Lester struck out Evan Longoria, then got a liner to first and a grounder to third. Rodriguez was stranded.

Nats lose Rosenbaum, Kobernus
Dec 6, 2012, 4:04 PM EDT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Having spent the better portion of their history swiping minor leaguers from other, more talent-laden organizations through the Rule 5 draft, the Nationals now are finding out what it's like to have their own prospects plucked away.
The Nationals lost two players this morning in the major-league portion of the annual event that closes the Winter Meetings: left-hander Danny Rosenbaum (who went to the Rockies) and second baseman Jeff Kobernus (who went to the Red Sox).
The Nationals then lost left-hander Jack McGeary (Red Sox) and right-hander Hector Nelo (Dodgers) during the Class AAA portion of the draft.
The club didn't select anyone in any of the draft's three rounds.
Though neither was expected to have a significant impact on the Nationals' big-league roster next season, Rosenbaum and Kobernus each were highly regarded in the organization and could have been needed for depth in the next year or two.
"You set your rosters and you know you're always taking chances on losing any of your prospects," assistant general manager BryanRead more »

News Release
Strong Road Safety Laws Compel Toyota to Recall One Million Cars
Washington, D.C. - Statement of Nasima Hossain, U.S. PIRG public health advocate, on Toyota's Thursday recall of one million cars in the U.S.:
"This recall highlights our continued need for strong public health and consumer safety standards and protections. Our car safety protections achieve the highest standards of excellence in motor vehicle and highway safety, and they work for us every day to prevent crashes and their high human and financial cost.
"Laws such as the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, the Highway Safety Act of 1966, and the 1972 Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act ensure that consumers are able to trust that their cars drive safely on American roads. These laws should continue to hold car manufacturers accountable for our safety.
"However, strong public safety protections like these highway rules are in jeopardy thanks to reckless anti-regulatory policies being introduced in Congress. Policymakers should resist efforts by powerful special interests to weaken our public health and safety rules. The need for consumer safety should not be a political question or a partisan issue; instead, Congress should put protecting Americans first."

LINCOLN — Nebraska's 51.9 percent shooting in its season-opening 66-55 win over Southern didn't change coach Tim Miles' opinion of his team's firepower.
"We are challenged offensively," he said. "That is loud and clear. We have to do a better job of handling pressure.
"Right now, it's going to be hard for us to beat a good team."
Miles' theory will be tested Thursday night when Valparaiso (2-0) comes to the Devaney Center at 8 p.m. to face NU (1-0).
The Crusaders, defending Horizon League champions, are picked to win the league again. Five senior starters return from a 22-12 team, including conference player of the year Ryan Broekhoff, who averaged 14.9 points last season.
This year, the 6-foot-7 forward from Australia scored 14 points in an 85-54 victory over Georgia Southern and produced 20 points and 13 rebounds in a 69-46 win over Northern Illinois.
The scouting report on Valparaiso — a school of 4,000 in Valparaiso, Ind. — is relatively simple.
Look out for 3-point shots. The Crusaders hit 13 of 24 (54.2 percent) in each of their first two games.
"That is a big key to the game," Miles said. "In theory, we're trying to limit the number of attempts.
"They've already shot 24 in each of two games. So the idea is to get that number down to 16 or 18. They'll still make them when they get them."
Before the season, Miles expressed concern about Nebraska's perimeter defense, and it's still a worry.
"We don't have a whole lot of depth and athleticism to pressure them off their spots where you just overwhelm them with defensive pressure," the coach said. "So we're going to have to play our system and limit opportunities."
Nebraska will still be without Shavon Shields (elbow surgery). Miles said he expects the freshman wing to begin shooting again within a week.

text: Michael Medved: no major conservatives were birthers 05/29/12 10:18 PMUpdated 09/06/13 07:02 AM facebook twitter like save share group discuss By Jordan Michael Smith Tuesday night on The Ed Show, conservative syndicated talk show host Michael Medved claimed that no prominent Republicans have argued that President Barack Obama might not be a citizen. According to Medved, only "fringe Republicans" ever partook in birther-ism. In fact, the list of Republican officials and bigwigs who questioned Obama's nation of birth include Reagan administration official Alan Keyes, 2008 vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, as well as several GOP state Senators and Representatives. And, of course, onetime GOP candidate Donald Trump has been around stirring up spurious claims about the president's origins.It was not the only falsehood Medved peddled in his segment on The Ed Show. According to Medved, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney rejected Trump's claims that President Obama was not born in the United States. "He does," Medved said, in response to host Ed Schultz's query about why Romney hasn't criticized Trump's birther-ism. In fact, questioned by reporters about Trump's lies, Romney has said only, "You know, I don't agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in. But I need to get 50.1 percent or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people."In September, Romney met with Trump to "kiss his proverbial ring," as the New York Times put it. While Romney has said he knows that Obama was born in the United States, he has not only failed to repudiate Trump, he appeared at a fundraiser with The Donald on Tuesday night, in Las Vegas.Indeed, it was highly symbolic that Romney met with Trump the very night he clinched the Republican nomination, with a big primary victory in Texas.

Effective delivery of mental health services in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy was the subject discussed by a panel of social service providers who gathered at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Friday morning, March 8.
During the forum, "Superstorm Sandy: The Emotional Aftermath," moderator Steve Adubato, well-known author, lecturer, and political analyst, queried the panel on the emotional impact of an event like Sandy.
Keynote Speaker, former Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy, opened his address with the claim that "trauma is everywhere today." He said that the distinction commonly made between "health care" and "mental health care" is a false one. He said that such thinking creates a stigma for those who are suffering emotional pain. He also suggested that fear of being stigmatized is what keeps people from seeking the help they need.
Advocating for veterans of the Global War on Terror, Kennedy stated that our "veterans signature wound is traumatic brain injury." This fact coupled with a fear of being stigmatized accounts for the fact that 18 veterans a day commit suicide, he said. He further observed that the only difference between a wound to a limb and traumatic brain injury is that one is visible and the other is not. Because brain injuries are invisible they are often perceived as "character issues," he said.
The panel discussed the long-term impact of an event like Sandy and some of the ways that service providers might improve the delivery of services.
Adubato noted the failure of media outlets to broadcast public service announcements. All agreed that "a clear, prompt, predictable path forward" fosters hope for victims, and they challenged FEMA over funding and rebuilding delays.
Services to children of families affected by Sandy might benefit from "classroom based intervention." The panel suggested that schools under pressure to get students back on track may not be aware of the value such services provide.
In closing, both Adubato and Kennedy pledged to help raise the public's awareness of available services and their value. They also encouraged members of the audience to contact their representatives and use social media to get the message out.

What direction is kitchen design taking?
We are about to start planning a kitchen remodel, and I need some guidance. Having a functional kitchen is the most important aspect, but having an open floor plan makes style a close second for us. Because this is such an expensive undertaking, I would like to know what direction design is going to take in the future. What colors, materials, etc., should I stay away from to avoid having a kitchen that looks dated in a few years. What will the major trends be? How do I distinguish a trend from a fad?
Our taste is flexible, but the house itself is traditional/transitional with a craftsman vibe, so an ultra modern style probably won't work in our house. I would really like to hear from both design professionals and those who have recently completed such a project.
Thank you,
Blessed be the peacemakers.
Look at lots of upscale magazines. They forecast what's coming, it may not be what you want but they show what's new and different. Once a trend is wildly popular and is at the big box stores, you will find the industry is working on newer stuff to sell the public. When we redid our kitchen I visited lots of showrooms and saw what was available. Don't automatically rule out cabinet makers and custom places since they may offer more value for your money than the big box stores. My kitchen is traditional but I have a very different granite on my island which I found at a granite supplier after viewing dozens and dozens of slabs. My cabinets are cherry and are all wood. Some are custom and others are standard. The cabinet shop gave us lots of advice and worked with us to create the best layout for us. Good luck and have fun!This message has been edited.

Considering what's hot and what's not for the near future is important, but unless you beleive that sometime in the future you'll sell your house, my advice is to go with what YOU like...and not worry so much about 'fads' or what will be popular 5 years from now...which no one really knows anyway, even the pros!!
I'm doing a kitchen makeover also...but haven't started yet...we'll be in this house til we die, so all I really care about is my own taste and what we'll be happy with...besides, we have white appliances...popular? Nope...but hey, in 5 years, white might come back...heehee!!
Best of luck...take a deep breath!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: jd47,
16paws and jd47,
Thank you for the comments. What I'm trying to address is balancing personal preference with the fact that we will likely sell this house in about 15 years. I want to remodel the kitchen in a classic fashion that matches the rest of house and avoid having to do a frantic major update in order to sell it. Minor--no problem, major--big problem.
Here's an example of a question I have to ponder. A classic craftsman kitchen might use quarter sawn oak; however, oak of any kind is viewed rather scornfully right now. I read mb posts from people who can't wait to tear out their "dreadful" oak cabinets and floors. Often, the pictures they post show beautiful custom cabinets whose only fault is being built of an unstylish wood. Me? I love oak, but I don't want to use anything that becomes a major deterrent to selling the house in 15 years. Remodeling the kitchen is a major financial and emotional investment, and I don't want to have to redo it just to sell a house later down the road.
Blessed be the peacemakers.
don't go for fads they go out to fast stay classic with a little modern twist .Never understood the oak cabinet stupidity as what would they want fiber board cabinets that look like crap after a couple of years of soaking up moisture .Yet again what do they want on the floors ,SURPRISE OAK duh .Just go with a good quality wood cabinet and if there is a change in the future doors can be changed out or painted .I look at quality as the test of time .Those pressed wood boxes and doors do not hold up ,drawers fall apart ,cabinet door hinges get loose ,lots of dings and dents .
As a large investment, your kitchen should be an extension of your homes architectural style. If you ever need to sell your home, prospective buyers look for continuity of style and "flow".
I think you never go wrong with repeating some of the material choices that show up elsewhere in your home, like wood tones, tile colors, metal finishes, to give a clean comprehensive look to the overall appearance.
SCat, when I notice oak kitchens, it feels as if their trim's curved shape dates them - possibly even more than the oak itself. If you stick with a classic shape, you'll be fine. In a pinch, the cabinet's exterior trim can be redone.
Personally, I would include **$ in my (future) fix-up/selling expense budget for professional painting services and new cabinet hardware, at minimum.
All, JMHO. Good Luck!This message has been edited. Last edited by: blueday,
blueday, I remember when those arched top panels were a "must-have" for cabinet doors, and now they look so dated.
sissy77, it's sad that people often just price shop and end up with junk like you are describing.
Charles D, I'm seeing more and more the need to do some more research about translating architectural style of the home into style in cabinet design and decorating.This message has been edited. Last edited by: SpeckledCat~2,
Blessed be the peacemakers.
Well first of all beware of blanket statements. While there is no doubt that golden oak cathedral top doors are dated, if you had a craftsman style house with oak arts and crafts doors, oak would be a wonderful added value to your home. So oak isn't always dated, but certain styles don't pass the test of time.
Look at the outside of your home and list all its features that you really like.Now open the front door and evaluate your foyer. Is there anything there that is just "your style"? Make a list of your favorite features, like the floor tile in the bathroom, or the stone around the fireplace.
Maybe your foyer has medium toned oak floors. If the kitchen floor butts up against this wood, look for a tile that has a vein or a speckle as close in color to the wood as possible. The entire tile does not have to be the color of the other flooring, but tieing the two together will look more cohesive and expansive.
Also remember that kitchens should be up to date from a convenience standpoint, so antique cupboards might not be as good a choice as kitchen cabinets with pull out trays. You can always put your personal stamp on a room with fabric and art. Don't go overboard with any themes,in the end you'll be sorry. So if you like cherries or monkeys or roosters or whatever, a couple of luncheon plates from Home Goods or some nice embroidered napkins are fine. No one needs cutsey wallpaper with a theme like a kids bedroom.
Best of Luck, Charles
Alternatively, beware of posters who criticize others apparently without either reading and/or understanding their posts.
Funny, I reread the last 4 previous posts (other than the OP's) and didn't see any disagreement, whatsoever. We basically all encouraged the OP to select the best quality possible with a classic trim option, ignore fads and by all means, use oak, if appropriate for her home. We also acknowledged that said cabinets can be painted, if necessary, when the OP prepares for resale of the home.
Nice of you to give the OP appropriate instruction and establish the rules of good kitchen design. The rest of us were merely expressing our humble opinions.
IMHO, SCat, there are no rules. Do what's best for you and your family, secure in the knowledge that minor changes can easily and efficiently prepare your home for resale.
Best of luck to you, SCat. As above, it's all JMHO.
Many thanks to everyone who has replied to my question.
Blessed be the peacemakers.

Are you richer than you think?
Someone who purchased a lottery ticket in Richmond Hill has an unclaimed prize for $100,000.
Ontario Lottery and Gaming spokesperson Sarah Kiriliuk said the winner has until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19, to claim the money.
The Encore-Pick4 prize-winning ticket was sold somewhere in town, although the OLG can't reveal exactly where.
"It's part of the claim process in order to pay the prize to the right person," she said.
But time is running out. The draw took place Dec. 19, 2011. The winner has one year from the original draw date to come forward, she said.
The winning numbers were 0 – 8 – 9 – 0 – 1 – 8 – 2. Players matching the last six of the seven numbers drawn in the exact order win $100,000.
Anyone possessing this ticket should fill in the back portion, sign it and contact the OLG prize centre at 20 Dundas St. W. Winners of up to $250,000 may also drop off winning tickets for processing at any OLG casino or OLG slots at racetrack facilities.
Call 1-800-387-0098 for more details or for a list of locations.
About two per cent of the OLG's prize pool goes unclaimed each year, Ms Kiriliuk said.
When that happens with provincial games such as Encore, the unclaimed money is given to the provincial government. For national games such as 6/49 or LottoMax, the money is put back into the prize pool for other ways to win.
One biggie — a $16-million jackpot drawn June 30 — still remains unclaimed, she said. OLG staff is confirming whether that ticket was purchased in Woodbridge or Hamilton.
Information about unclaimed tickets is available in the "public disclosures" section of www.OLG.ca under "OLG reports".

All issues
The development of Homoeopathy in Italy was controversial and intricate in every region of the country since the early 19th century. Based on the doctrine that unsettled the principles of the "Old School", the Hahnemannian thought made rapidly converts in Italy. Homoeopathy became a court medicine and developed widely after the publication of Hahnemann's works, coming mostly from France and edited by Leon Simon. The first translation of the "Organon" was issued in Italy in 1824. As rapidly as Homoeopathy expanded from 1820 onwards, so early a few principles of the Hahnemannian doctrine (for instance the theory of the miasms, or chronic diseases) were confuted and questioned by the homoeopaths of the first generation. In parallel to an elitist development, Homoeopathy became a popular medicine as well and was often of great help in course of epidemics (especially cholera epidemics), as shown by substantial data still available that report thousands of cases cured homoeopathically in different regions of Italy from 1836 to 1867.
For instance Zoe Gatti, a Genoese homoeopath, cured a lot of patiens of cholera and later he examines the sick free of charge, in conformity with his social view of medicine. According to the description of Italian homeopaths reported in Rapou's treatise "History of Homoeopathy Medicine", published in Paris in 1847 and regarded as a major scientific document, the homoeopathic physicians in Italy were about 500 in Based on Brown's and Rasori's medical doctrine, the methods of the predominant and conventional medicine were interventionist and some times frankly brutal (blood-lettings, purgatives and emetics). That's why Homoeopathy, that was founded on the opposite principles (vitalism), was regarded as a threatening rival.
Homoeopathy flurished in Italy from 1820 to 1840, especially in the Kingdom of Naples where the Bourbonists promoted the new system of medicine. A major role was played by Francis I who, after ascending the throne in 1825, choose Cosmo Maria De Horatiis, an able and enthusiastic homoeopath, as his own doctor. Cosmo Maria De Horatiis carried out several clinical experiments and verified the action of homoeopathyc remedies under the control of allopaths, who openly boycotted the good results he was getting from Homoeopathy.
Meanwhile the homoeopathic medicine was expanding all over the world, and especially in France where the Italian physician Sebastiano De Guidi contributed greatly for building the homoeopathic hospital in Paris (1847-62). A few years before another famous Italian, doctor Giuseppe Belloumini, was among the first to practise Homoeopathy in the United Kingdom, where he became the physician of the Royal Family. Starting from 1830, homoeopathy archieved good results in Sicily where one of the most distinguished homoeopaths was Benedetto Mure. Coming from Lyons, he was first cured of tuberculosis by homoeopathic remedies and later took a medical degree in order to practise and spread this system of medicine. After spending a few years in Sicily, he travelled first to Brazil where he made the principles of Homoeopathy known and later to Egypt, Sudan and France. In every country he always practised as a succesful and fervent homoeopath. Thanks to his cultural heritage, the "Accademia Omiopatica di Sicilia" was founded in Sicily in 1844. At the same time, the King Ferdinand II institutionalised the teaching of Homoeopathy in Italy for the first time. The Accademia is still operating in Palermo.
The Pontifical State where Professor Ettore Mengozzi - the author of an interesting "Materia Medica" - was appointed to a Vatican professorship by Pio IX. He didn't lead a comfortable life and later was even accused of poisoning his patients. Professor Mengozzi kept his profesorship only for a few days because the historical events of 1848 induced the Pope to move to Gaeta. In spite of all his misadventures, however, Mengozzi succeeded in founding the Royal Homoeopathic Institute of Naples on 1864. Homoeopathi developed also in other regionsof Italy such as Piedmont, Lombardo-Veneto and Tuscany. After a first period of expansion, the Italian homoepathic medicine entered upon a long stage of decline while in the American continent homoeopathy reached the best of its splendour in the late 19th century. In Italy, the unificaton of the country in 1870 brought about a comprehensive revision of the legislation in force, and all that had a great influence on medical matters. We have to point out, however that the opposition to Homoeopathy was more focused on clinical, scientific and philosophical aspects than on the legal ones. The decline of Homoeopathy in Italy was brought about by several causes such as the hostility of the institutions, strongly based on mechanist principles, and the lack of continuity in the homoeopathic profession. As a consequence, in the early 20th century the Italian homoeopaths were only a few dozens. Not being recognised as a system of medicine by the law, homoeopathy could not even fulfil the opportunity of a full development as a mass and popular medicine. In that period, therefore, the Italian homoeopaths lived a condition of social and cultural outcasting and shut themselves in the half-clandestine defense of their principles...
In early 20th century Tommaso Cigliano, among the others, took up again the tradition of Homoeopathy in Naples, plublished some works and the pharmacological research about homoeopathic remedies. In 1927, the compilation of the Homoeopathic Official Pharmacopoeia brought up the same questions that are still unsolved in the homoeopathic pharmacodynamics. The Pharmacopoeia was edited on the base of the model in force in the United States, thanks to the activity of the brothers Mattoli from Perugia, who strongly pursued the aim of spreading and promoting Homoeopathy. But the Official Pharmacopoeia, being approved by a Royal Decree on December 30th 1923, was never issued. After the First World War the Homoeopathy came to a dead end, which was mostly due to the influence of social events on the matters of medicine. The true revival of Homoeopathy in Italy took only place in the seventies when this medical system gained ground in the urban areas, either as a complementary or an alternative medicine. In Europe and Italy the germ of the revival is represented by the students of Pierre Schmidt and by the development of the schools of Homoeopathy, such as that founded by Antonio Negro and Alma Rodriguez in Naples - the Free International University of Homoeopathic Medicine (LUIMO) - in co-operation with Proceso Sanchez Ortega and Pablo Paschero.
The LMHI gave a decisive contribution to the expansion of Homoeopathy in Italy as well and organised two congresses in Rome (1980) and Capri (1996). As to educational activities, we would like to underline the crucial contribution offered by Jacques Imberechts (Homoeopathia Europea), who established different homoeopathics grups and organised workshops in various Italian towns. Only in the last few years, Homoeopathy has started establishing its own indepedent organisation in Italy.

The last conference realignment news for at least a few minutes
Here's a list of conference realignment moves that have been made known since we last wrote about conference realignment moves, which, for the record, was like two hours ago:
• Tulsa is joining the Big East. Not the Big East with all the basketball schools in it that's going to be called the Big East down the line. Tulsa is joining the first Big East. This is happening in 2014.
• East Carolina is joining the Big East, also not the basketball Big East — though wouldn't it be droll if one of these teams accidentally ended up in the Catholic 7 — and also in 2014.
• Conference USA is joining the Sun Belt. All of it. This part we made up, probably.
All this reported by college football realignment oracle Brett "Sources" McMurphy. We'll see you back here in a couple hours for the next shuffle.
