As far as my entertainment experience I WILL NEVER plan ANY kind of party(s) in this place ever again. I have seen the reviews and they are ALL so very true. I just recently had a Bridal Reception and after all being said and done the workers and owner have a different method of adding and subtraction way different than the Basic Math. Crooks Indeed 2+3 does not equal seven........
I had the best Birthday party at the Cadillac Bar! The food was great, the music was really good and the staff were so friendly and really helpful. I'll definitely do another event there in the future. Thanks again Cadillac Bar it was a night to remember!
MOST TERRIBLE PLACE EVER!!!! – Used to be a good place, but the manager in charge that nite is one, .....well dont have to mention it!!! These place is becoming a very low ridiculous place to hang out, never going back and as for my family either, and spreading the word to all friends!!! The have boy toy securities that cant control a fight all of the staff runs to join in the fight instead of controling it, and as far as the manager in charge that nite, never seen a man this low and so chicken!!! Made a big scene in a fight called almost all of SAPD and at the end a WOMAN got hit by him and he immediately releases all charges, he was so scared to get charged by a real WOMAN!!! Also THESE PEOPLE SERVE ALCOHOL TO MINORS WITHOUT CARDING...19 year old drinking all night!!! And to that punk, grow up!!
Most Comforting Place Ever – As a regular at Cadillac Bar this bar has great deals and wonderful food. I have never had any problems and the bartenders are great and fast and always tend to your needs. If your looking for a good place to have a party and listen to some awesome music/bands this is the spot, it screams Texas and the history of Texas. The owner is a great person and treats everyone the same and is always there unlike most places where the owner is out of site or not there. I recommend this place to anyone that has a loose personality and isn't stuck up and likes to try new things.
Think twice!!! – We had our Wedding
reception here
,we had paid for there DJ and he was playing what there regular customers liked. After WE HAD PAYED FOR HIM to play! People who where not in our wedding party were taking over the tables that were for our wedding guest! Never again, AND I would not recommend this place to anyone. The following day we had a get together and all the guest complained about there service, and the way there customers were taking over! If you do rent this place make sure you sit down and talk to Jesse, and not anyone else. Make sure you do get it in writing!!! My nephew had even booked there wedding here, but since they saw what had happened @ mine, they canceled and have found a new place....
Cadillac Bar in San Antonio – My wife is from San Antonio and this was our first experience at this place. I actually made reservations back in June for my wife's birthday party, we placed a deposit, picked out the linens and selected the area recommended. In August, we called 3 different cell numbers and eventually a day or 2 later we would get a response confirming our reservation. We selected food from their catering list and thought it was a done deal....We get there at 7:00p.m. party starts at 7:30p.m.
We were so wronged because when we arrive there is a political party rally going on, we can see someone has taken our reserved area, and when we ask for the manager the response is "I am just the waiter here" The waiters could barely speak English, and it took us 5 times to ask about our reservation before we could finally speak to the manager. He reassures us they are in the process of getting our tables and gives us two beers because now we are waiting 40 minutes. They finally ask people to move from tables, and organize our party, linens, and we had to wait another 30 minutes for the food to be placed buffet style by our table. Party finally starts about 8:30p.m. and drinks are cold, waitresses are prompt with our drink orders. The folks sitting behind us started eating our food, my wife had to advised them the food was for a catered event. By this time I am so done with the crappy food and reservation experience. They have a band start at 10:00p.m. and it is time to go home because your seats are vibrating from the 8 foot speakers sitting next to our table. When it came time to pay the tab we had to remind them we had a deposit which is supposed to be applied to our balance. We had to wait another 20 minutes to pay our beer tab, and when we were leaving the other party that took our tables originally were eating our left overs. Folks it doesn't get any worse than this and you can say that we are never stepping inside of this establishment again. Huge disappointment and I will be telling all of our friends to not visit this establishment. There are no PROs only CONs at this place....
Great Place for Drinks – We visited Tuesday July 13, and parked in their free lot next door. This place is classic Texas. Very friendly bartender and great inexpensive drinks. Enjoyed it very much and the Ramos' Gin Fizz's were outstanding.
CROOKS BY THE COURTHOUSE – My family and I reserved space there for a special event but when we arrived the tables were given to another party. After trying to get the owner/manager out of the kitchen for 15 minutes the only thing that was offered was an 80 dollar tab for 18 people. The bar pretty much took the money for the reservation of $100 dollars and only provided 4 tables with 8 chairs. The money was also supposed to be for the nice table linens which were never provided. If the establishment knew anything about customer satisfaction a full refund would have been given and a credit for drinks would have been given as well. The manager and staff were walking around the rest of the night smiling and laughing, which we think were partially at our expense. Granted this place was recommended by a family friend but in my opinion, if you are planning a special event, don't choose this rinky dink bar because they do not know anything about the hospitality business.
P.s. The one star rating is there only because the sytem requires at least one star for comment to be published.
Great place to have a special event – My sisters and I held our parents' surprise anniversary party in one of the bar's party rooms. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful and the set-up of the room was exactly what we asked for. If you are on a budget then this is one place to check-out. There is no cost for room rental, you are only paying for the catering. Linens, set-up, and clean-up are also included. The DJ was a minimal fee and was very good. I was explained up front that my deposit of $200 was non-refundable, but could be used on food or drink if the event was canceled.
I do recommend good bookkeeping on the client's part because there is no contract and I honestly don't think a record of the pre-payments I made to the bar were kept. I kept all my receipts and got all the details like cash bar prices and fees in writing. I didn't want any surprises the night of the party.
Parking can also be issue, but anywhere in downtown S.A. poses a parking issue.
Terrible Customer Service! Don't book an event b/c you will not get your money back – Ok, so we are from out of town and wanted to book a rehearsal dinner at this Cadillac Bar & Restaurant location. We put down $200 to reserve the place and went by to check it out in person when we were in San Antonio. A red flag should have gone up when the management staff failed to return phone calls in a timely manner.
After seeing this dirty, little unorganized place, we said no way on having our rehearsal dinner there. My fiance called to ask if we could just apply the $200 depost to a dinner, the management duo of mom & daughter said no. We didn't even ask for a refund, but rather just use our $200 towards some drinks and dinner.
Avoid the terrible customer service and stay on the riverwalk.

Houston >Food & Dining > Ristorante Cavour Houston
1080 Uptown Park Blvd, Houston, TX | Directions 7705629.7577667236328 -95.4583511352539
M-F 6:30am-2pm, 6pm-10pm, Sa 7am-11am, 6pm-10pm, Su 7am-2pm
Neighborhoods: Westside, Great Uptown
Imagine yourself in a small, intimate restaurant in Italy, perhaps somewhere in Villa d'Este. There is that same quiet opulence to the setting at Ristorante Cavour, with its wood panelling and plush cushions channeling old world European elegance. Food by Italian Master Chef Renato dePirro offers choices adds to the overall fine dining experience. Without a doubt, this is one of the most romantic restaurants in town.
Decent Food HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! – For the price and the service it really doesn't even deserve a single star. Went here for Valentine's Day arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 and seated almost immediately. That was the highlight of their service for the night. We waited almost an hour to get the wine we ordered. The surprising thing was that they had a set dinner for the night and it took almost 4 hours from when we were seated until I paid the bill. Food was only mediocre.
A Valentine's Day experience for judging a restaurant is like judging a school by a single dance recital. By definition, the experience will be bad.
Great Food and Service : best kept secret in Galleria Area – My husband, my son and myself had dinner last saturday, we were very happy with the food quality. The lobster was amazing, the escarole fish was fantastic and the filet from Piedmont was outstanding. The waitress told us that cavour is the only restaurant in town using the beef from Piedmont. The service was excellent, the staff was amazing and the wine list is notable with a lot of small allocated wines. we will come back and refer to our friends this italian treasure in the heart of Houston.
Wonderful staff & food on a busy night – I made reservations here for me and my boyfriend for Valentines Day (which is also his birthday). When making the reservation I asked if it was possible to have a special menu typed up to say "Happy Birthday" instead of "Happy Valentines Day," The staff at Ristorante Cavour was more than happy to accomodate my request!! I had phoned several "upscale" restaurants in Houston and asked about typing a special headline and they all told me "No" because V-Day is just too busy a day for them to worry with a detail such as that. Only Ristorante Cavour was willing to go the extra mile to satisfy a customer request on such a busy holiday.
Parking at the restaurant was easy, the food was FANTASTIC, and the STAFF WAS INCREDIBLE! We will definately be back and I would recommend that you try Ristorante Cavour.
Parking....not. – At 7:30 reservation, unmaned cars with motors motors running at the front door.
Had to wait for a bellhop to arrive then and same when trying to leave. IE: No valet parking.
One bottle of good wine
The bill for two...$300+
Some items great, others not so great.
Exceptional Everything – I was invited to Cavour for a lunch meeting last week and was pleasantly surprised! I had the mixed green salad, gnocchi and tiramisu. The salad was the perfect size and the dressing was nice & subtle. The gnocchi was, honestly, the best I've ever had. I am not a big fan of potatoes, but I tried it anyway. It was nice and small, unlike most others, and the tomato sauce was just right. The tiramisu was delectable & so was the truffle it came with. Even the cappuccino was perfectly brewed. The service was exceptional, the prices were fair and it was quiet enough to have a good conversation. They also had several options for a vegetarian, like myself, so I actually got a choice in what I ate, which is a rarity-especially at finer establishments. The atmosphere was perfect for a quiet afternoon, I sat next to the window with a view of bustling Uptown Park, but couldn't hear a single car. Even better, the parking is free and available, unlike other area restaurants. I dine in the Galleria area often (2/week) & usually think the restaurants, though though they are some of the best in Houston, have something to be desired. I have no complaints about Cavour and am anxious to go back! I will certainly try Chef Denis' other restaurant now too!
Best intimate dining, best business lunch, outstanding customer service – I heard some friends talking about this restaurant and was very surprised because I enjoy dining at all the hot spots in Houston and had not heard about it. A girlfriend and I went for lunch one afternoon and I was completely blown away! I had Tomato Basil Soup and a Grilled Chicken Panini and my friend had their Pasta of the Day, and they were both fabulous! When we sat down our server also recommended their signature Chocolate Fondant which takes about 20 minutes to prepare, and it was absolutely worth the wait! Rich and decadent!! The cozy dining room was the perfect place to have an intimate lunch, but I noticed quite a few business men around that looked as though they had stopped in on their lunch breaks. While there I asked to take a look at the wine list and it looked great - alot of Italian wines, but not surprising given that the hotel was built to look like an Italian palace :0) I can't wait to return and try dinner!
Ristorante Cavour – Cavour is an incredible place to enjoy an intimate dinner or business lunch. The food is magnificent and the service is friendly and attentive. Great wines and desserts!!!! Beautiful surroundings, don't miss a cocktail in the bar first! Have the eggplant salad for lunch! Must see!

Garnet Hill Signature Sateen Cases 18 18
Sateen bedding, the best! I sent all three of my sons the sateen sheets and pillow cases as a surprise Easter gift. They are all thrilled, sent me thankyou notes, and sais the sheets were the s=best ones they had ever slept in. April 14, 2014
Lovely Very smooth, soft cotton right out of the package. Good for warm weather or warm sleepers. Without knowing how well they wear over time, I can't evaluate value fully. However, paired with a fresh. new pillow, the cases have sweetened the experience. Sweet dreams! March 31, 2014
Disappointed I have always loved this product. These sheets are some of the most comfortable ever. However, I put them in the wash and when I took them out of the dryer, there was a 3 inch tear in the fabric of the fitted sheet. ( I did not wash them with anything sharp) March 30, 2014
top notch These sheets are beautiful and the fabric is awesome! The sateen and the piping are quality. I have not had white sheets in years but bought them for a very dark blue and green plaid duvet. the contrast of color and texture just what I was looking for. March 10, 2014
Best sateen purchase Ever I have been shopping with GH for years now. All sheets in my home are from GH. I must say this particular set (I purchased duvet cover, sheets, & shams) is undoubtedly my favorite!! Color pallete is beautiful, softness superior, and does not wrinkle. I would highly recommend to anyone. February 27, 2014
Love! Bought the Silver Sham, continental size, for my pillows. I love the fabric and the print. It is slightly big - I have oversized continental size pillows for the "overstuffed" feeling but these shams were so big that there was plenty of room. The fabric is lovely though; it is soft and won't "stand up" on its own. Another thing to note is that the silver is definitely a cooler gray, not warm at all; more blue-undertoned than brown.

Where were these sheets made and do they have Oeko-Tex or other chemical free safe fabric certification?

Answer:These sheets are made in China. They are pure finish…. The only chemicals used on these sheets is bleaching and dying (if it is a color).
We do use the Oeko-Tex standard as our guide for setting standards for production.
Pure finish: An additional cleansing wash performed on completed fabric that removes the remaining traces of chemicals used during the fabric finishing process

Extremely unfriendly receptionist. When I was about to sign the receipt with a ballpen, he told me to sign using the electronic pen instead, with conspicuous disguise on his face, like I have never seen such an "advanced" device in my whole life. Why should I know to sign on the electronic screen if you don't tell me?!

Once you get off the train, you will see the St. Ignatius Church directly across the street. The church is on the corner of Fr. Herilihy Drive and Commonwealth Avenue. Stay on Commonwealth Avenue and walk uphill. The T stop where you were should now be on your right as you walk uphill. You will pass the Boston College Career Center and some dormitories on your left. The BC shuttle stop is at the Main Gate of the Chestnut Hill Campus. Wait there until the Newton Campus shuttle bus comes along; do not take the shuttle that says "Commonwealth Avenue". Exit the bus at the Newton Campus stop directly in front of Stuart House, the Law School's main administrative building.
2. You could take a taxi. First, you would take the MBTA's "Green Line" (B Train). **IMPORTANT** If you decide to take the B line, give yourself extra time. This particular line has many stops along the way. When you get off the B train at the Boston College T stop, you should see taxis parked on the same side of the street, near the train stop. The cost should be between $9.00 and $10.00. Ask the driver to bring you to the Boston College Law School/Newton Campus. The taxi drivers usually drop their passegers off at Stuart House.

Sergei Chuzavkov / AP file
Attorney Alan Dershowitz
Can an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" bring together Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas? Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz thinks there might be a shot.
Dershowitz was so moved by a "Curb" episode titled "Palestinian Chicken," he sent a copy of it to Netanyahu in hopes that he invites Abbas over for a screening.
What's so special about "Palestinian Chicken" that it might aid in accomplishing what decades of diplomacy could not? The (profanity spiced -- be warned) clip below illustrates the key scene, but here's the gist: Larry is faced with the decision of choosing to honor his own ethnicity by siding with a Jewish deli whose patrons are upset that Palestinians have opened a restaurant just across the street. But the Palestinian restaurant serves up a mean chicken! Oh, and if he chooses to forsake his deli, an eager, giving, buxom woman will make it worth his while.
Dershowitz told the Columbia Current of the gesture, saying, "I recently sent a copy of 'Palestinian Chicken,' that Larry David gave me, to Prime Minister Netanyahu — with the suggestion that he invite Abbas over to watch it together. And maybe if they both get a good laugh, they can begin a negotiating process."

Use of Biometrics in Lunch Program
We are considering the use of a biometric finger scanner as a way of identifing students as they come thru the lunch line. Has anyone implemented this in their program? What pitfalls did you encounter? We are looking at a company called IdentiMetrics. Has anyone used them before and how did the copmpany preform?
Any information would be helpful!
We use biometric scanners at all of our campuses for purchasing meals. It's wonderful! No lost cards, no forgotten numbers! The only issue is the initial scanning of students (rather time consuming to get them all) and then coming up with a good solution to get new students scanned. Other than that, it's great. We do not use the company you listed, but do use Food Service Solutions out of PA.
Hope this helps,Crystal Thill

Primarily drafted by Michael Farris and Home School Legal Defense Association attorneys, the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act (PRRA) was introduced on June 28, 1995, in the House and the Senate as H.R. 1946 and S. 984. The PRRA affirms the right of parents to control the upbringing and training of their children—rights that have been eroded by conflicting state court decisions.
Home School Legal Defense Association believes that passage of the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act will significantly increase the protection of home schooling freedoms. Too often state courts refuse to hold parental rights as fundamental. The 1993 Michigan Supreme Court's rulings in DeJonge and Bennett clearly illustrate the need for the PRRA. In DeJonge, the Court ruled that teacher certification, as applied to religiously motivated home schooling parents, was unconstitutional. But in the companion Bennett case decided the same day, the Court found that secular home schooling parents suffered no constitutional violation when forced to comply with the certification requirement. The Michigan Supreme Court held that religious freedom was a fundamental right, whereas "parents' rights" were "nonfundamental" in nature.
HSLDA staff have been working hard to promote this important legislation and secure co-sponsors in the House and Senate. The following is a summary of the key events which have taken place during the past several months.
October 24 — Doug Phillips, Director of Federal Issues for the National Center for Home Education, led a group of Congressional Action Program (CAP) volunteers, several National Center staff members, and HSLDA's four interns to Capitol Hill to lobby for the PRRA.
As a result, more than 20 congressmen added their names to the list of PRRA co-sponsors.
October 26, Rayburn House Office Building — After months of work by legislators, home schoolers, and concerned parents, the House Sub-Committee on the Constitution heard testimony on the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act in a hearing room packed with legislative aides, media representatives, and supporters and opponents of the bill. Members of the Committee present for this first round of hearings included Congressman Charles Canady (Chairman R-FL), Robert Goodlatte (R-VA), Bob Inglis (R-SC), Barney Frank (D-MA), Patricia Schroeder (D-CO), John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), and Melvin Watt (D-NC).
The first panel of experts to testify included the primary congressional sponsors of the PRRA—Representatives Steve Largent (R-OK) and Mike Parker (R-MS), and Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA). Congressman Largent asserted, "The Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act is needed because the government is using its coercive force to dictate values, offend the religious and moral beliefs of families, and restrict the freedoms of families to live as they choose."
A skeptical Congressman Watt challenged him, "You think you can clear the fog with eight pages of legislation?"
"This is not a complicated issue," Largent responded, "It is just a shield for parents. This is only a legal recourse for parents to protect their rights as parents."
Senator Grassley contended that Congress has a constitutional responsibility to pass this legislation:
But Congressman Schroeder expressed concern that the PRRA may make it easier for parents to abuse their children with impunity. Representative Parker quickly responded:
After the sponsors spoke, committee members heard from a second panel consisting of Vicki Rafel, National PTA Board of Directors; Greg Erken, Executive Director, Of the People; Martin Guggenheim, Professor, New York University School of Law; Colleen Pinyan, Coordinator, Office of Public Affairs, The Rutherford Institute; Marilyn Van Derbur, former Miss America; and Michael P. Farris, President, Home School Legal Defense Association.
Not surprisingly, Rafel testified in opposition to the PRRA, stating that the PTA believes
Farris sharply disagreed:
Van Derbur gave an emotional account of her abusive home, urging Congress to defeat the Act. She pleaded with the committee members that someone must "speak for the children � [the PRRA would] � smother their voices." Congressman Schroeder thanked Van Derbur for "putting a human face on this issue."
The third and final panel of the hearing consisted of academics George W. Dent, Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Law; Barbara Bennett Wodehouse, Professor, University of Pennsylvania School of Law; and Wade F. Horn, Ph.D., Director, National Fatherhood Initiative.
Committee members asked, What are reasonable corporal punishments? What about medical decisions such as blood transfusions? Should parents really be making these decisions for their children? Wouldn't this intrude on the rights of children?
Another hot issue was federalism. Opponents of the PRRA argue that this legislation is an infringement of state's rights. Congressman Barney Frank chided conservatives, "This is the most blatant augmentation of the federal government I've ever seen."
Michael Farris responded to these concerns:
I believe that the Supreme Court was absolutely correct in saying that it was a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution for the State of Oregon to ban private education in the 1920's. I would submit that if the Supreme Court correctly discharged its duties as a branch of the federal government to protect the rights of American parents when a state went too far, this Congress has the co-equal duty to protect the constitutional liberties of American parents. State courts, state agencies, lower courts, bureaucrats, and lawyers are diminishing the rights of American parents. This bill does not create any federal programs. It does not spend a dime of taxpayer money. It does not create a single administrative position. It simply sets a legal standard. Adoption of this bill will indicate that this Congress believes that parents rights are fundamental, nothing more, nothing less.
November 1 — Michael Farris appeared with Congressman Largent on CNN's Burden of Proof, a program analyzing the legal aspects of current national issues and legislation. Representing the opposition was former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders. Mike and Congressman Largent did an outstanding job refuting arguments brought against the PRRA.
December 1 — James Dobson interviewed Congressman Steve Largent and Senator Charles Grassley about the PRRA on the December 1 Focus on the Family radio program. Listeners were encouraged to contact their congressman and senators and urge their co-sponsorship of the PRRA.
December 4 — CAP volunteers visited 80 senate offices, encouraging the senators to co-sponsor the PRRA and to attend the subcommittee hearing.
December 5, Dirksen Senate Office Building — The Senate held sub-committee hearings on the PRRA. The senate subcommittee members are Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) —the PRRA's key sponsor, Mike DeWine (R-OH), Hank Brown (R-CO), Strom Thurmond (R-SC), Howell Heflin (D-AL), Russell Feingold (D-WI), and Herbert Kohl (D-WI). Michael Farris, along with several other witnesses from the House hearings testified.
Rep. Steve Largent opened as first witness on behalf of the PRRA.
Rep. Largent urged subcommittee members to take a realistic look at the increasing obstacles parents face today.
"The Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act is needed because the government is using its coercive force to dictate values, offend the religious and moral beliefs of families, and restrict the freedoms of families to live as they choose."
Sen. Howell Heflin questioned the PRRA's purpose and expressed concern that it would intrude upon states' rights. "If the Supreme Court has already upheld these rights, I see no need for this Act," he stated.
Rep. Largent responded, "[the PRRA is] consistent with the proper concept of Federalism. While states have the general jurisdiction and authority over education, child welfare, and health care issues, the federal government has authority to protect the rights of its citizens and ensure that states employ their power in a way that respects the rights of American parents."
Opening the second panel of witnesses, Michael Farris reminded subcommittee members that it would be impractical to ask every family to take its case to the Supreme Court. "Parents' rights should be protected at the first court they go to; they should not have to go to great lengths and expense to receive a just ruling." Farris further explained the problem with relying on lower courts without the aid of the legal standard which would be established by the PRRA: "The Supreme Court has failed to use explicit enough language and has failed to take enough parental liberty cases in the past twenty years. Lower state and federal courts, and the countless government agencies just don't seem to understand that parental rights should be accorded this high level of protection."
Sammy Quintana, president-elect of the National School Boards Association, claimed the PRRA is "about making it more difficult for public schools to teach our children. It is about lining the pockets of lawyers and draining the scarce educational resources in our schools. It is about playing politics with our children." Another anti-PRRA witness, Margaret Brinig of the University of Louisville, insisted the Act would hurt children's rights in favor of parental whims. She claimed that the PRRA would harm the state's ability to protect children.
Director of the National Fatherhood Initiative and child psychologist Wade Horn countered, "Some see the declining well-being of children as the rationale for further state intervention in family life. But there is very little evidence that further abdication of authority over children to the state will enhance the well-being of children. Rather, I believe that the declining well-being of children in America is the direct result of the increasing authority the state has obtained over the rearing of children."
Georgia lawyer Chip Angell aptly summed up the issue (and brought down the house several times) with his direct, rhetoric-demolishing testimony. "We must not deny the simple plain fact that parents can parent better than any agency or school. Parents are tired of government intrusion. They don't need busybodies in Washington telling them
Action — Home schoolers need to continue to deliver a steady stream of calls to their congressmen and senators to build support for the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act. This extremely important piece of legislation will likely pass in 1996— if we keep up the momentum.
Please read the list of PRRA co-sponsors. If your senators and representative are not co-sponsors of this legislation, please call today and ask them to take a stand for parents' rights by supporting the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act of 1995. If your congressman or senator is a co-sponsor of the PRRA, we encourage you to send a letter of appreciation.

Atlantisby David Gibbins
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From an extraordinary discovery in a remote desert oasis to a desperate race against time in the ocean depths, a team of adventurers is about to find the truth behind the most baffling legend in history. The hunt is on for…
Marine archaeologist Jack Howard has stumbled upon the keys to an ancient puzzle. With a crack team of scientific experts and ex-Special Forces commandos, he is heading for what he believes could be the greatest archaeological find of all time—the site of fabled Atlantis—while a ruthless adversary watches his every move and prepares to strike.
But neither of them could have imagined what awaits them in the murky depths. Not only a shocking truth about a lost world, but an explosive secret that could have devastating consequences today. Jack is determined to stop the legacy of Atlantis from falling into the wrong hands, whatever the cost. But first he must do battle to prevent a global catastrophe.
"Marine archeologist Jack Howard may have found the key to uncovering Atlantis, the legendary sunken city purportedly built by a flourishing culture. A scrap of papyrus discovered in an Egyptian desert, which may contain a secondhand account of the lost city, sends Jack scrambling to assemble a team, including Costas, an MIT- and Stanford-trained expert in 'submersible technology' and Katya, a beautiful Russian Atlantis specialist. Once prepped and in position in the Aegean Sea, Jack and company find themselves caught up with Kazakhstan terrorists and a multicountry fight over a missing Soviet nuclear submarine — and that's before they've uncovered the ancient secrets of the lost city. It's thrilling stuff for sure, but the story limps along on complicated, exposition-heavy science that's doled out much too slowly (characters walk each other — often and at length — through their particular areas of expertise as the plot requires). Gibbons, an underwater archeologist and Cambridge University Ph.D., knows his science; still, things don't pick up until the second half of the story, when the dive gives way to a more straightforward kidnapping plot. The historical conspiracy angle gives the book Da Vinci-esque appeal, and the intense visual details of the team's marine discoveries make it naturally cinematic, but if history and science lectures aren't your cup of Dramamine, you might want to give this one a pass."

Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Stylists cut, color or straighten hair; also offers extensions, special occasion hair and facials. Salon sells Bio Ionic beauty products.
Best overall salon in Boston/West Roxbury area – I am a regular customer at this salon. I have had everything done there waxing, laser hair removal( which really works) my color with Pauline or Alana they are so sweet and know what they are doing. I have even had a relaxer there with Patsy and then was recommended to the Japanese straightening system Bio Ionic which I love thank you Jenny. My hair cut was fantastic from Nancy or Christine, who also do extensions. This salon is wonderful. I just recently went in and was offered a hair treatment for $10.00 that seriously transformed my hair. I have been to other salons in Newton and in Boston (Newbury st) that were way overpriced and didn't nearly offer as much and wern't as good as the team here. You always hear when someone hates something, I figured for once when you like something it's good to tell someone too. This is a must try if you are looking for a new salon. I hope this helped you.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllll
WHO CUTS HAIR DRY? – I had the worst haircut there, the stylist was cutting my hair dry and when I asked why she said it was technique, what a bad technique. My hair was uneven and about 1 inch in length when i left there. She cut it all off while it was dry/ I have never had my hair cut while it was dry and never will again. I have a short mens haircut but when I left it was atrocious , I wore a hat for 3 weeks while my hair grew!
Great Cut. Great price. – If your looking for a Newbury st quality cut without the Newbury St prices. Try Lords and lady's

4.47/5 rDev +7.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Paid $8.99 for a mixed 6'er...
Limited 03/04 edition
This beer pours the blackest stout I have ever seen, with a medium-large dark brown head, exceptional retention and a few marks of lacing at the end. The aroma gives away some nice stout characteristics... starting with it's core of chocolate, and seconary characteristics of roasted malts and a dark-roasted coffee, one of the darkest!
The taste is very impressive, not only does it continue with the above aroma characteristics, it also has a hint of creme and vanilla embeded in the taste, very powerful and unique! The mouthfeel is also in its own class, the creamy taste characteristc seems to flow this beer straight through your mouth, leaving a smooth delivery. As this beer settles it's a very drinakble beer, I might have another since this beer attributes a lot, also the 8.5%abv is nowhere to be found, even right after the pour as some beers give off.
Final Thought: As you let this beer settle you notice a remarkable taste change... it's up there for stouts, period!

A - pours nice and dark forming a very small head which ran away quick. No doubt has the look of other great stouts.
S - chocolate dominates the nose.
T - dark chocolate up front tasted great. The finish is more dark chocolate and burnt coffee with a touch of charred wood.
M - coats the palate well and lingers for some time after a sample.
O - above average stout that should age well.

This is my next in a line of RIS I've been tasting before the brutal michigan winter finally winds down. The pour is quite handsome with a near black body and dark tan head. The head lasts well into the pour and when it does give way it leaves a very nice film and silky tan lacing. The nose is a little unremarkable with subtle notes of dark chocolate (duh), coffee, burnt sugar, and rroasted prunes, figs, and dates. The mouthfeel is coating and slightly sticky., but strictly in the best of ways. The flavor greatly triumphs over the aroma. It is a deep and rich blend of Belgian dark chocolate, dark roasted coffee, burnt fruits, and deeply roasted malts. This is an incredibly robust and delicious beer. While not my favorite Russian Imperial, this is without a doubt, a stout that I would come back to anytime. The beautiful bitterness of coffee and burnt sugar last in the mouth for hours after the beer is finished. Well done!

Bottle from winter 11-12
A: poured into a snifter to a deep black with a finger of dense tan head that fades quickly to a collar around the edge of the glass
S: on the nose we have bitter dark chocolate, slight roast malt, and a hint of espresso. lots of chocolate on the nose though
T: taste is dark chocolate, roasted malt, slight burnt sugar, more chocolate, and coffee. Swallow brings more chocolate, some roasted malt, coffee, and some slight charred wood flavor
M: sinfully smooth and velvety with a full mouthfeel. Carbonation is there but struggles to burst through the viscous brew and the beer has a drying finish
O: This beer is fantastic. It has smoothness, complexity and good flavors. It aged gracefully and drinks divinely. It just doesn't get much better.

From the 330ml bottle into a tulip glass.
Appearance (3.5): Midnight black and opaque with a dark sandy head that settles into a persistent half-finger on top of the beer. On style, but not incredible.
Aroma (3): Toasty and burnt up front with lingering roast coffee and a light spiciness (perhaps hops pushing through?). The alcohol is very forward and overshadows the other aromas to an extent.
Taste (4): No real "chocolate" flavour, but hits of molasses and a big caramel sweetness. Some minor dark fruit in the background - a nice touch. Again, the alcohol punches through and really is a dominant force between all the malt sweetness.
Mouthfeel (4): Slick, oily and creamy. A nice medium to full body that coats the pallet and lasts long after a sip. The alcohol leaves a nice numbness on the pallet that is both a strong reminder of the beer's potency but also a prep for the next sip.
Overall (4): A BIG beer that will be aged in my cellar for a while. The hotness of the alcohol begs for it to be aged, and I imagine this will be fantastic given a few months to a year (or two). A great sipper that I look forward to having again.

TELLURIDE – Arriving in Telluride in 1974, my first girlfriend lived in a room above the Sheridan Hotel Bar. Most nights we were awakened by the bar's closing exodus at 2 a.m. but on one particular night we heard noises, and then bright light began bouncing into the room from the street. John Tutt and a cohort had carried a 16-millimeter projector up the long steep stairs to the empty adjacent room and were projecting Deep Throat onto the then rundown Victorian storefronts across the street. It was a telling introduction to the special relationship between Telluride and film.
It would take 24 more years for me to reach a formal relationship with the Telluride Film Festival. In the interim I snuck into my first festival program through the old laundry in the hotel, crawling across the stage behind the screen and into a side box. I cooked tons of garlic, rice and beans with Les Blank and at an appropriate moment we carried them steaming, through the Opera House during the screening of his Always For Pleasure. One year Robert Downey (senior) came to the Festival with Two Tons of Turquoise to Taos Tonight, in which his wife played something like 23 different roles. Saying they'd been on the road for months and wanted to be domestic after the film festival, they cooked me a wonderful dinner at my restaurant, the first time I'd been served a meal there. Another year I did two rolling summersaults down the steep old red-carpeted pre-renovation Opera House stairs. That was the year I drove Julie Christie out to Dunton in my 1949 GMC pickup, something well worth a couple of somersaults to accomplish.
There are many other stories in the above folder but finally (thanks Peter Shelton for passing me a baton!) a simpler arrangement was made with Stella. Beginning with the 24th festival, I was given unlimited access to follow my nose and document the festival photographically. After my first year Stella sent me a Christmas card with a wonderful compliment. She wrote that Bill said I photographed the festival the way he saw it.
Regimes change. This spring I was invited back for another festival but only if I would shoot color digital images. My decision is not without a measure of sadness but I just can't swap my old Leica for a cell phone with iTunes. After 12 years of festival documentation that has resulted in about 1,500 of my archival silver gelatin prints (chosen by Bill Pence) going to the permanent collection of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, I'm moving on feeling good after a wonderful run.
Despite the title, this show is by no means "the final cut." It is the first time I've printed many of these images. It's neither comprehensive nor definitive. It's just some images that jumped out at me in the limited time I had to look through more than 400 contact sheets to select prints for this informal exhibit. Another time might well be a completely different set of images, likely with a lot more pix of friends. Still, I think these do a reasonable job of representing my approach.
To those continuing this project digitally, I hope you will resist the temptation to limit yourselves to snapshots of famous faces. Why not create documents that reveal the spirit of this unique cultural event? Turn off the flash, take chances, work the edges, have fun. It's all about light.
Long live the Telluride Film Festival.

Thurston Partnership Update
11th March 2014
Work begins on £1m upgrade of Thurston campus
We are delighted that work began on the Thurston campus on time on 3rd March.
Already, the practical rooms that we are creating to teach our additional 600 students have been stripped out. Mechanical and electrical installation work has begun and before long we hope that they will be refitted as an additional science laboratory, catering room and design and technology workshop. At the same time, work has begun to transform a classroom into 3 additional music practice rooms and an IT room has been relocated to free up space to extend the dining hall. At the moment, everything is on track to finish the majority of the work before exams start in May. If you want to look in more detail at our plans for the Thurston site, have a look a the plan here: Thurston.
As you know, from September our Sixth Form will be housed at our new Beyton campus. this excellent building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide a superb centre for the Thurston Community College Sixth Form. Our plan is to make sure this has a more adult feel with plenty of private study space, an all-day café and facilities that are fully equipped to provide first class A-level teaching. Take a look at the plans here: Beyton.
Final primary school development completed
Most of the Thurston Partnership primary schools completed all their building work needed to accommodate their Year 5 and Year 6 pupils last summer. But Rougham CEVC Primary School has continued to be a building site because of particular difficulties in planning for its new hall. The school was thrilled to finally take possession of its new building in early March. It is a fantastic addition to the school and well worth the wait. All Thurston Partnership schools are very grateful for the support they have received from the local authority in seeing through their developments.

But down at the "bah" (Boston-speak for bar) the current talk is what's on at the Boston symphony or Isabella Stewart Gardener museum, what scientific breakthrough happened today at MIT, which band playing TD Garden got its start playing for change in Harvard Square, and when the Red Sox will ever win another World Series (sore subject).

About San Jose
Even if you haven't been here yet, your gadgets have: the birthplace of microchips, personal computers, and smartphones isn't done innovating yet, as you'll see at the Tech Museum of Innovation and San Jose Museum of Art. Keep your wits sharp as Google's self-driving cars stay cautiously behind you as you drive from Los Gatos billionaires' hilltop homes to sleek office parks radiating outward from Stanford University in Palo Alto.

It was one of saddest, most heartbreaking stories of the year in Monroe County.
In February, Joseph DeVivo, a longtime teacher at J.M. Hill Elementary School in the East Stroudsburg School District, was abducted in his home and killed.
DeVivo was 87.
To remember DeVivo's spirited life and his affection for his community and the game of golf, a tournament will be held on Oct. 12 at the Glen Brook Country Club in Stroud Township.
His son, Joe DeVivo, a former Express-Times sports writer has organized the memorial golf tournament since his father loved Glen Brook where he was a member for more than 50 years and recorded his only career hole-in-one.
The goal of the tournament is to present a scholarship to an East Stroudsburg North or South high school senior every year who plans to major in elementary education, the field where the late Mr. DeVivo spent his entire working life.
The generosity of the people of the Poconos has already been displayed as DeVivo has been able to collect more than $2,000 for the scholarship fund and 16 raffle prizes.
Among those prizes are greens fees and carts for golfers at Green Pond, Morgan Hill, Shawnee Inn, and Mount Airy; a private tour and tasting at Cherry Valley Vineyards in Saylorsburg; two autographed pictures of Arnold Palmer; two $50 gift certificates for Vinny D's deli in East Stroudsburg; and dinner for four during a night at the races at Charles Town Casino and Racetrack in West Virginia.
DeVivo said his friend, Ed Ott, whom he covered when Ott was the manager of the Allentown Ambassadors, has secured an autographed bat from Angel Berroa, the former American League rookie of the year who is now playing for the Jersey Jackals of the Canadian-American League. Ott is a pitching coach with the Jackals.
Also, retired Northampton athletic director Mike Schneider will donate several Phillies items, courtesy of his nephew, catcher Brian "Hoops" Schneider.
But more is needed.
If anyone wants to donate raffle prizes, sponsor a hole, or play in the tournament, e-mail Joe at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Again, it amazes me how people have the strength to turn the ultimate in negatives into a positive. That's what the DeVivo family is doing here. It should be a special day.
Kimberly (Kupec) Wenger, a 1994 Pen Argyl High School graduate, has been named the new commissioner of the Northwest Conference, a Division III league featuring nine small private schools in Oregon and Washington such as Lewis and Clark College, Pacific University and the University of Puget Sound.
Wenger goes to the NWC after 10 years at the Centennial Conference. She began as the assistant director of the conference in July 2002 and then was promoted to associate director in the summer of 2008.
"The Northwest Conference values excellence in the classroom as well as on the playing field," Wenger said in a release.
Wenger is a 1999 graduate of Lock Haven University, majoring in journalism and mass communications. She acquired her masters degree in electronic media from Kutztown in 2003.
The Lehigh Valley entry in scholastic division of the Keystone State Games baseball competition earned the bronze medal earlier this month in the Harrisburg area.

Every year AV receiver manufacturers tend to add one marquee feature to their product lines, and this year it looks like it's MHL.
Yamaha's new 2013 line of AV receivers consists of four networked models, plus the entry-level RX-V375, with the biggest change being that the four higher-end models each includes one MHL-compatible HDMI input. The RX-V775WA and RX-V675 have their MHL port on the front -- convenient for connecting a compatible smartphone -- and the RX-V575 and RX-V475 have their MHL port on the back, which is better for connecting a Roku Streaming Stick out of sight.
The rest of the features are similar to what Yamaha offered last year . You can look at the full comparison on Yamaha's site, but this is how I'd break down the important step-up features:
RX-V375 ($300): 5.1 channels, four HDMI inputs
RX-V475 ($450) step-ups: five HDMI inputs, MHL, Ethernet, AirPlay
RX-V575 ($550) step-up: 7.2 channels
RX-V675 ($650) step-ups: six HDMI inputs, GUI, powered second zone
RX-V775WA ($850) step-ups: Dual HDMI outputs, 7.1 pre-outs, included Wi-Fi dongle
Yamaha's press release also mentions that "high-speed HDMI switching" is available on all of these models, which sounds like welcome improvement given how slow even newer AV receivers switch inputs.
The RX-V475 strikes me as the best value of the bunch, as the other step-up features don't seem worth the extra cash. All of the models from the RX-V475 up are also compatible Yamaha's add-ons for Wi-Fi ($100) and Bluetooth ($70) functionality.
But requiring pricey dongles for what I'd consider basic features feels out of step with the way many people listen to music these days, especially for a $450+ product. Last year's Sony STR-DN1030 was a refreshing step in the right direction, as the only receiver in its price range with built-in AirPlay, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. I expected manufacturers to follow suit in 2013 on what should be standard features (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi), but Yamaha's 2013 line still relies on expensive, kludgy add-ons. I'd bet Yamaha won't be alone in that direction, but that speaks more to the ossified AV receiver market than anything else.
The RX-V375 will be released in February, followed by the RX-V475, RX-V575, and RX-V675 in March, and the RX-V775WA in April. I expect additional companies to announce their 2013 AV receiver lineups in the coming weeks.

Five Steps to Better Protect Your Kids
Quick Tip
What is a codicil? A codicil is a legal document written by your estate planning attorney that changes specific provisions in your will but leaves all other provisions unchanged.
What is a codicil? A codicil is a legal document written by your estate planning attorney that changes specific provisions in your will but leaves all other provisions unchanged.
Here are five estate planning updates affecting your children that you should make immediately:
- Have a guardianship plan. Name a suitable guardian for your minor children in your will. In most cases, your spouse, if you are married, will raise your children if you pass away first. But, are you considering that he or she could remarry? In the event that your spouse dies while your children are still young, do you want his or her new partner to raise your children? If there is someone better qualified to do so, make your desires known now.
- Protect what belongs to your children. Make sure your assets and property pass to your children. Spell out in your will the specifics of distributing assets so your children, rather than a former or second spouse, receive what was earmarked for them. Remember, assets aren't only items with financial value. Sentimental items like heirlooms and family photos can be noted in an updated will to pass to your children as well.
- Safeguard minor children. If you have minor children, consider placing the assets you want them to inherit in a trust until they are old enough. This prevents court battles if a judge has to name someone as their conservator.
- Name a new executor. If your children are of the age of legal majority, you can appoint them as executors, or you can choose a trusted friend or member of your family.
- Update beneficiary designations. Life insurance, annuities, retirement benefits and IRAs are usually payable to a named beneficiary and do not pass under the terms of your will. Check these documents to see whether you need to complete new beneficiary designation forms, adding your children's names or a trust for their benefit, to make certain assets are left to your intended heirs. These are also tax-smart vehicles for supporting your favorite charitable organizations, such as Willamette University.
Don't Forget Your Favorite Causes When Updating Your Estate Plan
In your existing will or living trust, you may have made specific gifts of property or assets that you no longer own to charitable organizations like Willamette. Update your will or trust to reflect these changes so the causes you care about most aren't left out.
|Discover the many different ways you can use your will or trust to support the most important people and organizations in your life.
Where to Find Assistance
Your estate planning attorney is the best resource when it comes to updating your plans.

Kissimmee's Damon Green, the longtime caddie for former Masters champion Zach Johnson, shares the lead with PGA Tour veteran Bobby Clampett after one round of the Champions Tour qualifying final in Coral Springs.
Green and Clampett each posted 4-under-par 68s at a windy TPC Eagle Trace to stay ahead of newcomers Esteban Toledo and Neal Lancaster. Five Champions Tour cards will be handed out at the end of the 72-hole event.
Green, 51, is making his third attempt at a full-time berth on the senior circuit. He also has qualified twice for the U.S. Senior Open, parlaying each into a top-20 finish.
After two bogeys in his first four holes, Green went 7-under through his next dozen holes before a late bogey left him tied with Clampett.
"I just told myself to be patient, it's a long week," Green said. "You know, all those things a caddie tells a player."
A renowned minitour player with more than 75 wins to his credit, Green struggled in repeated tries to survive the PGA Tour's qualifying process. He turned to caddying 14 years ago, working stints for Jimmy Green and Scott Hoch before Johnson hired him in 2004.
At both of his previous attempts, Green has said he would play Champions Tour events only in weeks when Johnson wasn't playing.
Clampett, who has limited Champions status next year after placing 39th on the money list, is seeking to upgrade his card. He tied for sixth at last year's final stage, losing a three-man playoff to determine entry priority.
Lance Ten Broeck, another caddie who once worked for Jesper Parnevik, was among 10 golfers two shots off the pace.
Jeff Freeman, the Country Club of Orlando pro who topped the final stage last year, is tied for 40th after opening with a 2-over-par 74. Gene Jones (Orlando) and Peter Horrobin (Miami Lakes) shot 71s to join a tie for 15th.Jeff Shain covers golf for the Orlando Sentinel and Tribune Newspapers.

FILM SCREENING IN YOUR CITY! Underground Independent Movies From Poland
Hello, last year I've walked through Spain. From Sevilla to Santiago de Compostela (1000km, 40days, with all luggage on back, with friends). During the journey I've made a movie. This year I'm walking to Santiago again (but from Portugal). Then I come back to Poland with my friend by hitchhiking. On our way back home I'd like to show the movie in different cities! Maybe yours :) Below are more details.
The movie's name is 'One sentence'. It's a short autobiographical documentary. It was completely shot during the way to Santiago. Music was composed by flamenco virtuoso Jesse Cook and polish composer Piotr Hummel. It's not a movie about tourist trip. It's about a journey inside yourself.
Camino de Santiago is the way to the town in North Spain called Santiago de Compostela. The remains of the apostole St James are believed to have been buried there. There are many routes to Santiago from different corners of the world. They were went by kings, saints and ordinary people. A pilgrim doesn't need any maps. Yellow arrows and shells guide him. A pilgrim may choose to walk alone or in a group. He may start Camino at any time of the year and from the place he wants.
My name is Artur Prus. I'm an amatour filmmaker from Poland. Although I have no film education my films where prized at many film festivals in Europe. I don't care about trends and commerce. All I'm looking for is truth. I may never learn how to make films but I would like to learn how to love. My full name is Artur Prus though I sign my works as Arczi.
Here is one of my short films if you courious - short film
If you are still interested below are some more details about SCREENING.
On the way Spain - Poland. So in these countries:
- Portugal
- Spain
- France
- Italy
- Switzerland
- Liechtenstein
- Belgium
- Netherlands
- Germany
- Austria
- Slovenia
- Hungary
- Czech Republic
If you live in one of this countries the first condition is done!
Between 1st and 15th July 2012. If you are available in this period the second condition is done!
Now we need a place to screen. It could be:
- small cinema
- cultural centre
- university
- outside (big wall and cine projector will do)
- other crazy ideas (ferry, spacecraft, sky :)
The whole screening last about 1h 20min. After the movie there could be a meeting/discussion with autor (so the person to lead the discussion is needed). I like the idea of a free screening. I don't want any money. An accommodation for me and my friend will be enough.
If you have a possibility or idea or you're willing to prepare such a place the last condition is completed!
Films are in polish language with english subtitles. The promotion of the event I leave to you. I have a few posters, information about the film, film frames and other things which may help in promotion.
If you have any questions or you are interested please contact me via cs or email (arczi.coder at gmail.com) or skype (arczicoder).
There is no much time. We flight to Portugal in a week (15th June) so decide quickly :)
This notice is only for passionate and responsible people!

CNET's top picks for the best little laptops you can find this holiday season.
We pick the ultraportable highlights of this year from HP, Samsung, Apple, and others.
Just to be clear, "ultraportable" is HP's word. This isn't an ultrabook, nor is it a Netbook. It's just a compact, lightweight, and very slick laptop.
Hewlett-Packard will release a business ultraportable that updates its successful EliteBook 2540p laptop and adds new processors, among other features.
The Apricorn Aegis Mini is not the speediest drive, but it performs admirably for its size. Its thoughtful design and included software make it the perfect companion to your ultraportable notebook.
That's $200 less than just about everywhere else. This razor-thin portable PC is earning rave reviews for its design, performance, and battery life.
Hewlett-Packard is selling a redesigned ultraportable with a new AMD processor and 128GB solid-state drive at a price that makes it worth a look.
HP is updating one of our favorite 11-inch laptops with a new design and new CPU options.
One of my all-time favorite laptops is on sale for one of the lowest prices ever. It may lack an optical drive, but it's much more than a Netbook.

Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance) >Outback Steakhouse
5582 Old Hickory Blvd, Hermitage, TN | Directions 3707636.179939 -86.60503
M-Th 11am-9:30pm, F-Sa 11am-10:30pm, Su 11am-9pm
Worst meal I've had in Nashville - ever. I'd rather eat at Burger King. The last time we went there it was for my wife's birthday. She ordered her steak "medium-rare" - a common request. The first time it was raw - not even seared on the outside all the way. The second time it was almost rare, and the THIRD time it was finally rare. By this time, my children and I had already completed our meals, since they took 15 minutes each time to return her undercooked steak.
I tried the pork tenderloin with some sort or sweet/spicy glaze - the meat was cold, and the "glaze" was a sparse drizzle and tasteless. I make much better at home - from a bottle marinade.
After all of the awful food, they did take my wife's dinner off of the check. I went to their corporate website to tell them how bad their cook was (I will not use the term "chef" for someone who can't cook a medium-rare steak at a steakhouse). Not surprisingly, I didn't receive a call or email in return. I guess they don't care. Maybe they were too busy making fake commercials about Australia, even though they are from Florida.
Logan's and Longhorn are cheaper, and deliver a more consistent product, at nearly half the price. I don't expect to return to Outback any time soon.
Excellent A to Z – From the host's smiley faces to the ticket! Everything was awesome! The steaks were cooked as order, one medium well and one medium rare. Food was tasty and fresh. The waitress was so caring, smiley and attentive. The environment is one fun but relaxing at the same time. I went in there with my husband, who is a Chef in a 5 Stars Hotel. He ate every bite in his plate and enjoyed it very much!
Great service – Love the food. Complimenting our waiter tonight for great service. We sat in the bar and John was our server. He is one of the best servers we have ever had. will definitely go back and hopefully can request him as our server again.
Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.
Not very good steak for a "Steakhouse". – We give this Outback another try from time to time, it's not very far up on the regular list of places to eat when we're deciding though. The main reason is value, and sub par steaks for an establishment with Steakhouse in it's name. I know... I know... The quality of beef at most mid priced restaurants has decreased in the last couple of years due to the price of corn and fuel, but it's still possible to disguise this fact if one uses flavor and proper technique to max out the potential that a particular cut has. To cut to the chase the steaks that I get are cooked to much all the way through. I am not a very picky person, just so long as the thing is not bleeding pink but still cooked all the way through. This indicates too low of a temperature, which leads to too long of a time spent on the cooking surface. Most steaks I get from this place almost make me think they are using a cover on the steak being "flat cooked" as one would use for breakfast items. Oh, for most places I usually order my steak medium rare, or sometimes medium if the server gives me a heads up as to how they are coming out of the kitchen that day. I usually have to use too much salt in an attempt to get flavor from the steak. Enough on steak, one of the other things I've noticed is the portion sizes have decreased and sometimes we have to ask for the bread that they used to bring out with the drinks. The side salad is not the best and the baked potatoes while baked well and tasty are not the baked potato size one would expect next to a steak being it's only side, just once I'd like to get enough sour cream the first time. I have pretty much decided to get the Alice Springs Chicken from now on.
The other thing is that I have had an experience with a lippy server there, but that's not the norm, and we have had good service most of the time with exceptional service sometimes as well. The place is very clean and the restrooms get attention. We used to eat there a lot but not so much anymore.
Good Grub, Mate!! – Dress up or dress down, it fits either mood, but go hungry. Bloomin' onion, should I say more? You never leave hungry and if you are like me, a doggy bag for later. The ribeye steak is excellant and so is the coconut shrimp.

Create a Ken Burns-style photo project on your iPhone with PhotoMotion
PhotoMotion, from the makers of PhotoToaster, lets you put together a slideshow of images with the popular zooming and panning technique known as the Ken Burns effect, but doesn't offer much else.
There have been a number of apps that duplicated this dramatic style of slow panning over images, but they have often been too complicated or the interface so unintuitive that people simply wouldn't bother. But PhotoToaster, made by the same developers, is one of my favorite photo editors, so I was excited to see how they would handle an entirely different process for creating photo projects. … Read more

Northwest earns 3 all-MIAA honors at Championships
WARRENSBURG, Mo. – It wasn't the finish the Northwest Missouri State track and field teams envisioned, but two Bearcat individuals and one relay team earned all-MIAA honors Sunday at the 2013 MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Eli Smith and Travis Manning picked up all-MIAA honors as the Bearcat women's 4x400 relay team finished second to give Northwest three all-conference accolades. The Northwest teams also saw several athletes improve NCAA provisional times for next month's NCAA Championships.
Smith finished third in the 400-meter dash earning all-conference honors after finishing one spot shy last year during his freshman season. Smith raced to a time of 49.58 and his NCAA provisional mark ranks 31st in the 400-meters while the sophomore also earned a provisional time in the 200-meters earlier this winter.
Manning earned his first all-MIAA honor with a runner-up finish in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.05. The time was a personal best for Manning, who holds the 17th best time in NCAA II and could join teammate Tyler Shaw, who also raced to a fifth place finish. Shaw earned a provisional mark last weekend at the Nebraska Tune-Up and holds the 12th best time in NCAA II in the 60-meter hurdles.
The tandem of Ashton Nibert, Alexis Boyd, Samantha Fender and Chloe Wichman claimed the only all-MIAA finish for the Bearcat women in the 4x400 relay. The Bearcat group finished with a NCAA provisional mark of 3:54.86 to finish second just behind Lincoln.
