VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Firefighters believe chemicals from a pool or spa caused skin irritations among 10 teenagers who were staying at a hotel in Virginia Beach.
Virginia Beach EMS division chief Bruce Nedelka tells media outlets that the teens were treated at the scene and no one was taken to the hospital.
The incident occurred Friday night at Springhill Suites.
Nedelka says the teens had been swimming in the hotel's pool and were in the spa earlier in the day.
The incident remains under investigation.
Nedelka says the teenagers were in town for an athletic event.

Warm Springs Extension Partners With Fremont Fire Department For Training Exercises January 13 - 15, 2014
The BART Warm Springs Extension project has partnered with the Fremont Fire Department for a series of safety training exercises during the week of January 13, 2014. The training exercises will include Fremont Fire Department response to hypothetical emergency scenarios along the Warm Springs Extension alignment. Safety training exercises are anticipated to occur at various times from Monday, January 13 through Wednesday, January 15.
BART Warm Springs Extension Ground Breaking: The Way to San Jose
On Wednesday, September 30, 2009, over 200 people gathered in Fremont Central Park to celebrate the formal ground breaking for the BART Warm Springs Extension Fremont Central Park Subway Construction. "We have found the way to San Jose," remarked Scott Haggerty, Chair, Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Supervisor District One, Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
BART Board of Directors President Tom Blalock
The ground breaking ceremony, complete with music provided by the California School for the Blind Jazz Ensemble, included remarks from representatives of organizations from both Alameda and Santa Clara Counties. "This is not just a Fremont project, but a project for the entire region," commented BART Board of Directors President Thomas Blalock. Other agencies represented included the City of Fremont, the California Senate, the California Transportation Commission, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority, the City of Union City, Caltrans, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
Lauded as the gateway to Santa Clara County, the $140 million Subway Contract will construct a mile-long subway for BART tracks from just north of Stevenson Boulevard, under Fremont Central Park, Lake Elizabeth and the Union Pacific rail road tracks to just south east of the park. The contract will also build a new dog park, basketball complex, and parking lot to replace facilities that will been removed next year to make way for construction of the subway. The project will also construct embankment between Walnut Avenue and Stevenson Boulevard for future trackway that will connect the Warm Springs Extension to the Fremont Station.
The subway construction is expected to conclude in 2013. Work on the Design-Build Line, Track, Station and Systems (LTSS) contract is targeted to begin in the fall of 2011, with revenue service to Warm Springs anticipated late 2015.

Know someone perfect for this career?
When we say chemical engineers, you are probably picturing dudes in lab coats who spend all day mixing volatile substances together in test tubes to see who can create the biggest explosion. Or you may picture an independent entrepreneur in a trailer somewhere in the desert of central New Mexico, running his own private meth lab. No, no, no - that's just not how they spend their days. (If anything, blowing stuff up is more of a 3 am thing.)
The fact is that chemical engineers do spend some of their time in labs performing experiments, but that stuff is just the tip of the dry-iceberg. You're forgetting the "engineer" part of the (chemical) equation. Or maybe you noticed this part of the job description but bypassed it because, although you're familiar with "chemicals," you're not so sure exactly what an "engineer" does. We're here for ya.
Unlike the scientists who spend the bulk of their time trying to discover the cure for a disease or finding theoretical ways to save the environment, chemical engineers are basically those who bridge the gap between science and product manufacturing. However, when the products in question have to do with healing cancer patients, or more efficiently recycling glass bottles, then the overlap is greater and the chemical engineer's work that much more valuable. Which is not to say the work of those researching lesser pursuits is any less honorable or important. There are people out there in really severe need of having their hair blow-dried.
It gets even worse in high humidity.
Chemical engineers increasingly work in the fields of biology, microfluidics, and polymer chemistry. They are less likely to work onsite in an oil field – although it can happen – but are instead more likely to do benchwork to optimize tertiary/enhanced oil recovery. What's the best chemical to inject to get the oil out? Is a combination the best answer? Can I design a polymer or surfactant that will coat the oil droplets, get them out, and then release them after I add another chemical? After they have answered these questions, they will likely then be responsible for optimizing the actual extraction. They don't leave it to someone else to do their own dirty work.
Chemical Engineers are also concerned with optimizing the performance of things. The main question they ask is, "Does it work well?" If the answer is "no," they next have to ask, "What do I need to do to make it work well?" Notice that this process does not always include the "why?" part of the equation (cough cough, chemists). Chemical engineers get paid more than chemists, whether that's fair or not. In general, chemical engineers tend to think it's totally fair, while chemists feel it is not so fair. Imagine that..
You know it's bad when a cheerleader stops cheering.
As a chemical engineer, you may be responsible for optimizing DNA sequencing (the reading of the letters ATCG in someone's DNA, which does not stand for Any Two Chromosomes are Good) by engineering the solution and conditions that the DNA went through. You could be working on microchips, spending your days making polymer solutions at different concentrations, and then observing the effects on the DNA strand that passes through the solution. To be sure, the traditional polymer and plastics industries are huge for chemical engineers, but the number of non-bio groups at universities is dwindling rapidly. Hm… maybe they'll find a way to engineer new ones…
Just about everything revolves around researching and designing/optimizing chemical conditions, though, even if it is ultimately for a biological application.
If you're wondering about the money (and who wouldn't wonder about the money?), chemical engineers are some of the highest paid of any individuals who have obtained only a bachelor's degree. So… if you're looking to be four and done but want to make some bank after college, this field may not be a bad one for you. The work is interesting and ever-changing, you get to keep your analytical muscles in shape, and you get to be a part of creating useful, pragmatic products for public consumption. Just think how proud your Nobel Prize-winning father will be when he finds out you've invented a faster drying deodorant. We can almost see the tears in his eyes. Might have something to do with the fact that your creation's main ingredient is onion extract.

Cancelled My Order After 25 Days Of No Movement
Posted by Cauxier on 07/17/2008
First of all, this company does not provide any phone number for contacting them, only a single email for all matters: email@example.com. While they say orders are generally shipped in 1-3 business days, my order sat stagnant for 25 days. After 12 days of checking the website for any update to my order status, it still said "pending review". I contacted email@example.com and said I would cancel unless I heard something from them. I got an email saying they would look into it and expedite the order which was being drop-shipped from the manufacturer. 11 more days went by and I never had any follow-up communication from HomeBrands and the order status on the website remained "pending review". I contacted them via email again and said unless I get confirmation (a tracking number) that my product has actually shipped and is en route, then I want my order cancelled immediately. I got a response to the effect of "we'll check with the company shipping directly and see if we can cancel it", to which I responded... "It's not my problem if you cannot determine the status of your order. Cancel it.". I have yet to confirm if I received my refund transaction, since the cancellation email was just received today... but I trust it will go through.
In summary, they did respond to my inquiries and did cancel the transaction at my request, so I would not characterize the company as dishonest. But I give them extremely low marks on product availability, performance and communication. I just opted to pay 25% more to buy the same product from a reputable source who had the product in stock and answered a phone when I called... I'd recommend the same to anyone else.

Took My Money, Product Not Available, Will Not Return Money... Theft???
Posted by Whocanyoutrust on 03/24/2009
Purchased two pans. Received notice that they pans are not available, yet they have kept the Paypal payment. Unable to reach them or receive any return emails.
I believe this is called theft. I don't know how this gets prosecuted, but I intend to pursue. Businesses like this ruin the marketplace for everyone.

Avoid Them: No Product, No Communication
Posted by Ykru on 02/22/2009
Placed my order on Jan 26. Have not heard from the company, order status still was blank. On Feb 4 sent them an e-mail (no phone customer service available) asking about the status. In their reply was promised the grinder within 1-2 weeks or so if they can find it (they didn't have the item, but item remained on their website as available through out this time).
On Feb 22 or 2.5 weeks after their e-mail still have not had any news on my order.
So I sent them an e-mail asking for cancellation. Summary: no item, no communication!
Avoid dealing with this company!

They are a Fraud! Don't shop here
Posted by JenS. on 09/28/2008
I ordered a canner from their website on 9/14. As of 9/20 there was no update on shipping status. I tried to contact company and there is only an email address no phone number. I sent an email stating I would like an update on my order and never received a response. I sent a second email stating if the order was not shipped I was requesting to cancel order. It is now 9/28, the order still has yet to ship, I have yet to receive an email response!
Word to the wise-- If you intend on getting your order in this lifetime, DO NOT ORDER FROM HOMEBRANDS.COM! they are definitely far from reputable!!!

Took a look at the site. It's one of those Yahoo! storefront drop-ship operations. No address or phone number. The site basically says don't contact them unless the order hasn't arrived in 3 weeks. If it hasn't arrived then, you might want to see about contacting Yahoo!.

Rachel Carson and JFK, an Environmental Tag Team
On the 50th anniversary of Silent Spring's publication, a best-selling historian shows the extent to which John Kennedy and his administration defended Rachel Carson's controversial work against the chemical industry's onslaught.
Carson could have brought anybody with her to meet the Kennedys. The fact that she chose a publicist and a tireless Democratic Party networker shows how Carson was gearing up for the inevitable blowback that Silent Spring was bound to receive from the chemical industry, agribusiness behemoths, and other deep-pocketed polluters. Scott made sure that Carson interacted with Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall and Sierra Club Director David Brower at the White House. Justice Douglas, Kennedy's number one unofficial adviser on all things conservation, had read an advance galley of Silent Spring just before the White House conference. Carson was getting her high-powered advocacy ducks in a row. On May 27, shortly before The New Yorker excerpt ran, Paul Knight, a close adviser to Interior Secretary Udall, met with Carson to strategize on how the Kennedy administration and Carson could work in tandem to bring maximum publicity to Silent Spring.
The new frontier was now fully behind the Carson environmental zeitgeist. President Kennedy himself--after reading The New Yorker excerpt along with the first lady--wanted Carson defended from the onslaught of abuse that Big Chemical would hurl her way. The administration, in fact, was helping to publicize Carson's work while simultaneously creating a buffer for the president if her research didn't hold up under peer review. Justice Douglas took the New Frontiersman lead, declaring Silent Spring "the most revolutionary book since Uncle Tom's Cabin." Since the 1950s Douglas and Robert F. Kennedy, the president's brother, had hiked together all over the world, from the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal in Maryland to the outback of Siberia. Justice Douglas was practically an auxiliary member of the Kennedy family. Writing in the Book-of-the-Month Club News about Silent Spring, Douglas threw down a gauntlet impossible to ignore. "This book," he wrote, "is the most important chronicle of this century for the human race. This book is a call for immediate action and for effective control of all merchants of poison."
What companies like American Cyanamid, Velsicol, and Monsanto would soon learn was that the Kennedy administration was setting up Big Chemical as the culprit of the planet's worse environmental desecrations. The New York Times published its first pro-Silent Spring editorial--"Rachel Carson's Warning"--on July 2, 1962. A few weeks later the Times ran a supportive story about Carson called "Silent Spring Is Now Noisy Summer: Pesticide Industry Up in Arms Over a New Book." The die was cast for a king-daddy fight. At a White House news conference, which coincided with Douglas's endorsement of Silent Spring in the Book-of-the-Month Club News, President Kennedy offered Carson his imprimatur--to a degree. While too smart a politician to embrace all of Carson's research, Kennedy made clear that his administration took Silent Spring seriously. Because of "Miss Carson's book," Kennedy said in a televised press conference, the Department of Agriculture and the Public Health Service had launched a full-blown investigation into whether pesticides caused illnesses in humans. What a daring thing for Kennedy to do, the equivalent of Theodore Roosevelt embracing muckraking novelist Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (a searing indictment of unsanitary Chicago meatpacking plants that led to the passage of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act). Kennedy was using Silent Spring to help push the Democratic Advisory Council's 1960 agenda to combat pollution by connecting old-style conservation to the new-style environmentalism that called for the protection of earth, air, and water (and all creatures dwelling therein).
The day after the White House press event, Kennedy announced the establishment of a special panel of the President's Science Advisory Committee (PSAC), headed by the highly respected Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner, to study various health and environmental questions about pesticide use. The hullabaloo over Silent Spring allowed Kennedy to go on the offensive against chemical polluters. Most other presidents would have gone into duck-and-cover mode because of Carson. But Silent Spring served Kennedy's goal of saving wetland habitats along the Atlantic coast and having the U.S. government regulate the toxic pesticide sprays beloved by huge agricultural concerns. Although Kennedy didn't want to be an alarmist, he didn't mind a fellow New Frontier intellectual--like Carson--leading the gallant charge.
When Silent Spring was at last published in book form on September 27, 1962, the chemical industry went ballistic. Kennedy instantly became Public Enemy No. 1 for propping up Silent Spring as worthy of serious attention. The National Agricultural Chemicals Association rushed its propaganda booklet "Fact and Fancy" into print. The nub of the counterattack was that Mr. Fancy (a.k.a. Kennedy) was an East Coast elite who yachted frivolously around Cape Cod, his treasured national seashore, while allowing DDT manufacturers to be unjustly vilified. The association warned that factory shutdowns would mean thousands of lost jobs. When Kennedy awarded Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey--a Food and Drug Administration scientist--a public service gold medal for discovering that thalidomide (a sedative frequently prescribed to pregnant women) caused deformities in babies, the pharmaceutical industry likewise felt blindsided. "It is all of a piece," Carson told The New York Post, "thalidomide and pesticides--they represent our willingness to rush ahead and use something new without knowing what the results are going to be."

Great place to bring out of towners – I am a huge fan of this place! The atmosphere is amazing. Sitting inside on a cold winter night sipping some Irish Coffee(great, not that coffee with bailey but a whiskey blend) or Guiness after a delicious meal ( I like the salmon) is all you can ask for on a cold Cleveland night. Service is great and very friendly. The best part is hanging out on the patio which over looks the lake and a great view of downtown. I like to bring out of towners there to check out the view which on a nice summer day you can watch the boats and see the most incredible sunsets. They also have free music a few nights a week but and I have to disagree with some of the other posts about it being too much of a "bar". The music doesn't start until about 9 or 10 so if you want a quite dinner before it's not too bad. Besides when I bring in visitor(who are usually from bigger cities and think the Midwest is boring) it's nice to show them that Cleveland has a lot of cool, fun places to go. P.S. It helps having a great place to go with all the residential development in Ohio City
Regular – I have been to The Harp on many occasions and it is truly hot or not. What is constant is the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. I love being inside during the winter, the wood work and decor are very cozy and in the summer the patio is amazing-great views of the lake and city skyline! It is a great location for the 4th of July! If you?ve been and weren?t totally satisfied with the experience, I recommend going during the week to give it another chance.
Not a Restaurant...More a like a Bar – I think that they should re-classify this place...this is more a bar than a restaurant.
The service is slow. Food is horrible!...really loud place...thus a bar ambience.
I do not recommend this place as a restaurant.
Bring earplugs and a book to read – Loved the look of the place, but hard to have a conversation. Between the music and loud atmosphere, not what I thought a restaurant would be like. Definitely more of a bar atmosphere. Waited 25 minutes for a fish and chips (11.95) which tasted like old grease. I was going to try a dessert, but didn't have time.Service was friendly, but so slow! Great place to have a drink, but would not recommend the food.
Great Patio – I've been coming here for several years and each time is a pleasure. The sunny patio has a great view, inside is comfortable. The brunch is decent, as well as a few of the sandwiches I've tried. Guinness Guinness Guinness. Never been disappointed by service, food or atmosphere. Never had to park on the street.
A full-sized shamrock shelter with a gorgeous view of the Shoreway. – The Scene
Designed by Dublin-based architect Frank Ennis, this spacious structure was assembled by Irish craftsmen and overlooks the former site of the Angle, a turn-of-the-century Irish settlement. The Harp keeps traditions alive in this now-integrated neighborhood; the owners have gone to impressive lengths to inject an authentic atmosphere into what feels like an Irish country house. There's a stone fireplace for winter and a small patio for summer.
The Food
The menu includes standard Irish fare such as corned beef, cabbage, black-and-white pudding and stew; the homemade soda bread goes well with the ample collection of Irish, English and Scottish beers. Newer additions include goat-cheese salads, roasted fish, grilled lamb shanks and berry-laden desserts. Wednesday through Saturday nights, enjoy live Irish music. The owners have even been known to schedule a County Cork matchmaker to fly across the pond and work a little of his magic.
Rely on it as a bar... – ...maybe not so much a restaurant. And if you aren't down with Irish food, don't crab when you find you don't like it. Fish and chips are grrrreat and the hot whiskey is DIVINE in the winter. Totally fun in summer when you can get a seat on the patio, and they have great Irish music (free) twice a week at least. Service CAN be slow and food is pricey for what it is. Have a drink and enjoy the music.
Twas just Right – Nice atmosphere, great service, Irish Stew and Soda Bread. Nice place to stop by for a bite and a brew.
friendly comfort – The Harp is a great place to meet friends - share a drink and a meal. Their chicken roulade is to die for - real comfort food!
Average – The ambience is great, the place looks real nice but the food could use a little help. The service was good, beer selection fair, and food average to below average.

Airing Thursday, Feb. 13 (2 p.m./ET, 1 p.m. CT/PT), the special episode will reunite Henderson, who played mama Carol Brady, with costars Christopher Knight (Peter), Mike Lookinland (Bobby), Susan Olsen (Cindy) and Barry Williams (Greg).

"From a scheduling standpoint, there was a little bit of shuffling that goes on, but I will say that [ABC President Paul Lee] has been incredibly supportive of our show," she told reporters Friday at the Television Critics Association winter TV previews.

Hostages star Toni Collette credits The Brady Bunch with helping her to perfect her American accent.
"Back in Australia we have a lot of American television programs, which is probably why I 'm OK at doing an American accent — I think it's from watching too much TV," Collette tells us in her celebrity Watchlist video. "One of them was The Brady Brunch. Every afternoon after school, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha."
Family ties bind us. We invite TV dynasties into the middle of our full houses (upstairs, downstairs) for happy days and good times. Watching married-with-children characters one day at a time becomes an all-in-the-family affair for the wonder years and brings about home improvement. That's why modern families matter and can take us to seventh heaven.
Here's the story ... of a Brady Bunch reunion!
Three of the original Brady cast members -- Barry Williams (Greg), Christopher Knight (Peter) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) — returned to Kings Island in Mason, Ohio over the weekend, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of an episode the show filmed there in 1973, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

He was very kind and funny to my young child and made him laugh when he was getting cranky. We appreciated the prompt service and excellent food!

Elvira, Mistress of the DarkTV Personality
Born: 17 September 1951
Birthplace: Manhattan, Kansas
Best known as: Vampy TV host of late-night horror movies
Name at birth: Cassandra Peterson
Cassandra Peterson was just another struggling actress during the 1970s. In the early 1980s, as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, she put the "vamp" in vampire and introduced horror movies on a Los Angeles television station. From there she launched a career as a cleavage-rich spokeswoman for all things spooky and campy, including a syndicated TV show, a movie and a merchandising blitz that cranked out everything from perfume to pinball machines.
Extra credit: Peterson is a longtime supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA); in a much-publicized 1991 incident, she turned down an offer to perform as an elephant trainer in the TV extravaganza Circus of the Stars.

"If you're so smart, how come you're not rich?"
It was the city that wanted to know. Chicago, refulgent in early-evening, late-capitalist light. Kendall was in a penthouse apartment (not his) of an all-cash building on Lake Shore Drive. The view straight ahead was of water, eighteen floors below. But if you pressed your face to the glass, as Kendall was doing, you could see the biscuit-colored beach running down to Navy Pier, where they were just now lighting the Ferris wheel.
The gray Gothic stone of the Tribune Tower, the black steel of the Mies building just next door—these weren't the colors of the new Chicago. Developers were listening to Danish architects who were listening to nature, and so the latest condominium towers were all going organic. They had light-green façades and undulating rooflines, like blades of grass bending in the wind.
There had been a prairie here once. The condos told you so.
Kendall was gazing at the luxury buildings and thinking about the people who lived in them (not him) and wondering what they knew that he didn't. He shifted his forehead against the glass and heard paper crinkling. A yellow Post-it was stuck to his forehead. Piasecki must have come in while Kendall was napping at his desk and left it there.
The Post-it said: "Think about it."
Kendall crumpled it up and threw it in the wastebasket. Then he went back to staring out the window at the glittering Gold Coast.
For sixteen years now, Chicago had given Kendall the benefit of the doubt. It had welcomed him when he arrived with his "song cycle" of poems composed at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. It had been impressed with his medley of high-I.Q. jobs the first years out: proofreader for The Baffler; Latin instructor at the Latin School. For someone in his early twenties to have graduated summa cum laude from Amherst, to have been given a Michener grant, and to have published, one year out of Iowa City, an unremittingly bleak villanelle in the T.L.S., all these things were marks of promise, back then. If Chicago had begun to doubt Kendall's intelligence when he turned thirty, he hadn't noticed. He worked as an editor at a small publishing house, Great Experiment, which published five titles per year. The house was owned by Jimmy Dimon, now eighty-two. In Chicago, people remembered Jimmy Dimon more from his days as a State Street pornographer back in the sixties and seventies and less from his much longer life as a free-speech advocate and publisher of libertarian books. It was Jimmy's penthouse that Kendall worked out of, Jimmy's high-priced view he was taking in. He was still mentally acute, Jimmy was. He was hard of hearing but if you shouted in his ear the old man's blue eyes gleamed with mischief and undying rebellion.
Kendall pulled himself away from the window and walked back to his desk, where he picked up the book that was lying there. The book was Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America." Tocqueville, from whom Jimmy had got the name for Great Experiment Books, was one of Jimmy's passions. One evening six months ago, after his nightly Martini, Jimmy had decided that what the country needed was a super-abridged version of Tocqueville's seminal work, culling all of the predictions the Frenchman had made about America, but especially those that showed the Bush Administration in its worst light. So that was what Kendall had been doing for the past week, reading through "Democracy in America" and picking out particularly tasty selections. Like the opening, for instance: "Among the novel objects that attracted my attention during my stay in the United States, nothing struck me more forcibly than the general equality of condition among the people."
"How damning is that?" Jimmy had shouted, when Kendall read the passage to him over the phone. "What could be less in supply, in Bush's America, than equality of condition!"
Jimmy wanted to call the little book "The Pocket Democracy." After his initial inspiration, he'd handed off the project to Kendall. At first, Kendall had tried to read the book straight through, but now he skipped around in Volumes I and II. Lots of parts were unspeakably boring: methodologies of American jurisprudence, examinations of the American system of townships. Jimmy was interested only in the prescient bits. "Democracy in America" was like the stories parents told their grown children about their toddler days, recalling early signs of business acumen or religious inclination, describing speech impediments that had long ago disappeared. It was curious to read a Frenchman writing about America when America was small, unthreatening, and admirable, when it was still something underappreciated that the French could claim as their own and champion, like serial music or the novels of John Fante.
In these, as in the forests of the Old World, destruction was perpetually going on. The ruins of vegetation were heaped upon one another; but there was no laboring hand to remove them, and their decay was not rapid enough to make room for the continual work of reproduction. Climbing plants, grasses, and other herbs forced their way through the mass of dying trees; they crept along their bending trunks, found nourishment in their dusty cavities and a passage beneath the lifeless bark. Thus decay gave its assistance to life.
How beautiful that was! How wonderful to imagine what America had been like in 1831, before the strip malls and the highways, before the suburbs and the exurbs, back when the lake shores were "embosomed in forests coeval with the world." What had the country been like in its infancy? Most important, where had things gone wrong and how could we find our way back? How did decay give its assistance to life?

Treme Creole Gumbo Festival 2012
Few things satisfy the palate more than a bowl of steaming hot, spicy hot Creole gumbo, and nowhere is there a better place to celebrate it than in Treme, believed to be the oldest neighborhood of free African Americans in the United States.
Ground Zero for the New Orleans food and fun is Congo Square and Louis Armstrong Park, in the neighborhood now widely known from the HBO hit series "Treme." Hosted by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation, the Creole Gumbo Fest is a celebration of all things that make New Orleans unique: its food, its music, its art and its ambience that draws millions of visitors from all over the world every year.
Admission to this two-day New Orleans festival is free.
The highlight of the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival, in addition to the gumbo of its theme, is the great traditional New Orleans jazz performed by its world-renowned New Orleans brass bands. Ten of them will be performing over the two days of the festival, five on each day. The schedule is as follows:
Saturday, Nov. 10
•11:00 am to 12:15 pm: Pocket Aces Brass Band
•12:45 pm to 2:00 pm: Lagniappe Brass Band
•2:30 pm to 3:45 pm: Hot 8 Brass Band
•4:15 pm to 5:30 pm: Soul Rebels Brass Band
•6:00 pm to 7:15 pm: Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Sunday, Nov. 11
•11:00 am to 12:15 pm: Baby Boys Brass Band
•12:45 pm to 2:00 pm: To Be Continued Brass Band
•2:30 pm to 3:45 pm: Free Agents Brass Band
•4:15 pm to 5:30 pm: Pinettes Brass Band
•6:00 pm to 7:15 pm: Stooges Brass Band
In addition, you'll discover some of the best gumbo cooking to be found in the region. Representing the cultural mix of New Orleans cuisine, gumbo is a type of soup that is a signature dish at many of the city's great restaurants, several of which always maintain a presence at the festival. The ingredients of gumbo vary from one cook to another but basic elements may include okra, chicken, sausage (including spicy andouille), shrimp, crab, crawfish, oysters and other types of seafood and fish. It is traditionally served with white rice and should be at least mildly spicy. The sign of a good gumbo is, when you bite into it, it should bite back!
Other signature New Orleans food may be served at the festival as well, including macaroni and cheese, shrimp and grits, fried catfish and – for dessert – bread pudding and banana bread pudding with rum sauce.
In between dancing and eating, be sure to check out the large arts market that will be on the premises. This is your great chance to stock up on local, handmade art, jewelry and crafts before the holiday shopping rush.
For more information about the festival, contact the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation at (504) 558-6100 or visit the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival website.

Just like the cocktail party. Drink, sure. Chitchat, of course. But for the committed, it's all about scoping out the best tray of hors d'oeuvres and downloading, frequently.
The app moves from the platform to its target device. Likewise the appetizer. Consider the sausage crostini, which is nothing but spicy sausage, creamy cheese and sharp fennel seeds browned over bread. It's easy to make, fully portable and simple to install. And it tastes a lot better than an angry bird.
Sausage crostini
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Makes: About 32 appetizer-size crostini
1 pound Italian sausage, spicy or mild
¾ pound taleggio cheese, rind trimmed
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 loaf Italian bread, sliced
Olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slip casings off sausages and discard. Break up sausage into a bowl. Break up cheese and add along with fennel. Mix with a fork or fingers.
Cut largest bread slices in two. Brush two rimmed baking sheets with olive oil. Arrange bread over olive oil. Spread each slice with about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Slide into a 350-degree oven and bake until sausage has browned and cheese melted, about 15 minutes. Enjoy hot.

Pizza >Broders Cucina Italiana
2308 W 50th St, Minneapolis, MN | Directions 5541044.912543 -93.309193
Sun, Mon, 11am - 8pm; Tues - Fri, 11am - 9pm; Sat, 10am - 9pm
Neighborhoods: Fulton, Southwest
Amazing Italian Food – I love the fresh pasta and sauces to cook at home. I highly recommend the Broder's brand olive oil. Wish I lived closer, but well worth the drive. Staff is super friendly!
Best Variety in Town! – If you've lived in Southwest Minneapolis your whole life and you've never been to Broders Cucina, you're doing yourself a disservice. Simply the best, freshest, and occasionally the most imaginative everyday italian food in the Twin Cities. HIGHLY Recommended!
Fastest yummy Italian food – We visited Broders after it was heartily recommended by one of my colleagues, and we were NOT disappointed. We tried the Pasta Bar first, which was very good! However, with two small children we find the informal atmosphere of Broder's Cucina Italiana fits a lot better with us. My 2 year old son just gobbles up the spaghetti and meatballs - the pasta itself is home-made and amazing, but the meatballs are ok. The dinner portion is just the perfect for the two of us to share. The pizza is really good - they serve a New York style that has a great crispy crust. The multitudes of people who come in and out for a "to-go" pizza speaks for how tasty it is! The tiramisu is also incredible. My husband really likes the cannoli too. However, the Cucina Italiana has limited seating, so as a family you might be stuck at the "bar"-like seating space. We have always been able to find somewhere to sit, though. If you choose to get take-out, the family style dinners for 4 are an incredible deal! I highly recommend this fun little joint!
Good Italian fare for times when you have to dine and dash. – In Short
Everyone from soccer moms to young urbanites crowds in for food that's served fast but isn't fast food. The tiny restaurant does a large takeout business, but a few patrons squeeze into small wooden tables that don't offer much privacy. The simple Mediterranean fare includes salads, sandwiches and pasta. Examples include a Greek salad, the caprese panini (tomatoes, mozzarella and basil) and stromboli. A large dessert case features blood-orange cheesecake and cappuccino brownies.
Broders? – With a name like that you wouldn't expect authentic Italian. Alas, that is what Broders definately serves. The Cucina doubles as a grocery store and a cafe. Good eats
Great for a quick bite – Don't have the time for Broders' Pasta Bar? Go to the Cucina! The food is a little less glamorous, but just as tasty. Try the super flat pizza or a manicotti (or two). I also like the caprese and their Pane Villaggio (village bread).
It's a deli so don't expect more. You can get entrees, a side dish, bread, cheese, olives, salami, and drinks for two for less than twenty bucks. Not too shabby, especially when you see and taste the feast you just ordered.
The food is good, but the air-conditioner is on full blast. If you go in the summer make sure to bring a layer because it will feel like a meat locker. Also, don't go near closing and expect to eat there, they close up shop pretty fast and you end up feeling rushed.
Decent – The portions are so small for the price. Call ahead you'll thank me later. The desserts are very tasty and the service is very good. But portions could be alittle bigger..
wonderful neighborhood spot – Like the title says, what a wonderful "neighborhoody" spot. Their food is wonderful, the atmosphere is unassuming - great choice!
quick-quality-fun-italion – If Broders Pasta Bar is full and your stomach is just a little empty look around the corner and up the street for a great time and very good food,Fast.
Mama Mia – Wonderful deli...not long on atmosphere..but the best "fast food" Italian

My Stereo System Sounds Great – I recently built a home in Irwin and chose Rampart for my Security and Stereo needs. They wired my home which took them not even a day, and installed all of the equipment in only a day. I highly recommend them.
Thanks Guys!
Professional. Courteous. If I need another alarm installation, I'd choose Rampart all over again! – We had our home broken into and needed a security system to protect our home from the intruders coming back. Rampart was able to come out next day to do our installation for us on an emergency isntallation.
The installers were courteous and professional. They cleaned up every area they worked in after they were done. They were very friendly and explained everything to me as they worked so I could understand the system. They did everything they could to make me feel safe in my home again as quickly as they could.
I should had this done earlier, but they were there when I needed them the most. Two other larger national companies that I had called the day before didn't even return my calls to schedule an appointment until after the first installers were at my home.
Editorial Review – This Greensburg's security company offers many different security services to help keep your home or office safe.
Friendly and clean technicians – The technicians who installed my system in just one day were extremely polite and made me feel very comfortable. They also cleaned up all of the areas in my home they worked in. I highly recomend them.
Great Service – On time and very professional. Great at explaining systems. State of the Art Technology. Very easy to operated. Clean installation.
Would recommend highly.
The Best Security Company. – Rampart Security Systems is simpliy the best company in Western Pennsylvania and maybe even Pennsylvania. They go above and beyond the call and help you feel secure.
Phil Snyder IS the company's major asset – Phil Snyder was so helpful and should really be commended! One of the main reasons I deal with Rampart is because of him. He is really thorough and I really have confidence in his knowledge. Phil really cares and is a huge asset to this business.

Premier League
February 6, 2011
- FTFT1West Ham
- FTFT2Chelsea
It just wasn't his day.
FULL TIME A very professional job from Liverpool, who closed Chelsea down efficiently, including Torres, and took their chance when it came. Chelsea's title race is run and Liverpool move into sixth.
The referee gives Liverpool a free kick as Ivanovic jumps into Aurelio. If that was a free kick, then Johnson's barge was a penalty.
Kuyt fouls Kalou on the half-way line and Chelsea can launch this.
Risky from Glen Johnson as he shoulder barges Ivanovic out of the way when a cross came in. Chelsea howl for a penalty but the ref says no.
Four added minutes....
Lucas does well to bring the ball away and spin it forward for Kuyt but Cech is out to win it before playing as risky ball to Essien.
Malouda's deep cross is met by Ivanovic who heads it straight out of play.
Kalou meets a long ball in the box but can't do anything but head high and wide.
Not a sound from the Chelsea fans.
Poor from Lampard who has a pop from an angle 30 yards out. It swerves well wide. Sums up Chelsea's day.
Poulsen comes on for Meireles as Liverpool shore it up.
Now Luiz turns in a hopeful ball that no blue shirt can get near.
Another ball in the box from Chelsea. Drogba wins it but the ball goes behind for a Liverpool goal kick.
Then Liverpool break and Aurelio turns inside Terry before forcing Cech into a smart save. It was a powerful hit but it was right at the 'keeper.
The ball strikes Lucas on the arm as a Chelsea's cross is cleared but no penalty.
This is surely the end of Chelsea's title hopes if they lose here. Even a draw probably isn't good enough.
Luiz and Kuyt tangle. Chelsea win the free kick.
The free kick is cleared well as Luiz lurked at the back post. More pressure from Chelsea now.
Handball from Meireles and Chelsea have a free kick on the right channel.
Changes for Liverpool too as Maxi comes off and Fabio Aurelio comes on.
Then Lucas is booked for hauling down Kalou as Chelsea looked to break.
Another break for Liverpool and Kuyt finds Meireles but Luiz's first involvement is to block his shot.
Bosingwa comes off and David Luiz is on at centre half. Ivanovic goes to right back.
Anelka finds Malouda who forces a block from Reina but it was a tight angle and he'd have been better off squaring it.
"Torres, what's the score?" sing Liverpool's fans.
Malouda comes on for Mikel as Chelsea are forced to chase the game.
That was a tidy finish from the Portuguese. It was high and he hit it with his left foot. A huge boost for Liverpool and disaster for Chelsea.
GOAL Meireles scores! Gerrard floats a ball into the area, Cech half comes, hesitates and as it rolls across goal Meireles tucks it home neatly.
Essien seems to have injured himself shooting on goal. He's holding his hip but he looks like he'll be ok to continue.
Chelsea revert to their familiar 4-3-3 with Kalou and Anelka supporting Drogba as Essien flashes a shot just over.
Torres comes off to cheers from Liverpool's fans and Kalou is on.
Room for Anelka 25 yards out but his daisy cutter is a yard wide.
The game is stodgy, very stodgy.
Torres goes wide but is tackled and concedes the throw in. Liverpool have shut him down very effectively today.
Johnson collects a cross he could have volleyed first time, then as he gives it away, prevents Bosingwa launching a counter.
Torres has been non-existent this half. Hard to see how he is worth £50m when he plays like this.
Meireles' free kick is over hit and awful. Cech catches. Drogba went down but is up again.
Johnson wins a free kick wide left after a clip from Anelka.
Another Chelsea move falters at the feet of Torres but as it is reworked Cole fires wide from 30 yards.
When will Kenny start to think about bringing Suarez on I wonder?
Ivanovic climbs but can't get on top of it.
Now Anelka has a pop after Essien won the ball from Maxi. It got a nick and is a corner.
Chelsea want a penalty as Kelly challenged Cole but Drogba plays on and wins a corner. From it, Anelka bundles the ball wide.
Dirk Kuyt nearly gets on the end of a Maxi cross before he lays it off to Johnson who fires a shot wide.
Neat exchange between Essien and Drogba but the former's ball is a tad too strong.
The camera pans to Steve Clarke, assistant to Kenny Dalglish. Mixed feeling for him today too I'll wager, gien his long association with Chelsea.
Reina pumps the ball long for Kelly to challenge Ashley Cole in the air. No clear winner as it goes out for a throw.
Another terrible pass, this time from Gerrard.
An awful pass from Lucas prompts a colleague to shout: "He's not worth £40,000 a year let alone £40,000 a week."
There has also been a Premier League sacking today, as West Brom inexplicably axed manager Roberto Di Matteo. Quite why no-one is sure, least of all the man himself.
Torres: A blue amongst the red.
One game has already been completed today where West Ham lost at home to Birmingham. Here is our match report.
HALF TIME A right tangle between Cech and Ivanovic as they both try to clear Kelly's cross. Then they have a right old shout in each other's face. Mikel intervenes before it gets nasty. And that is half time.
Chelsea's free kick is awful as Drogba tries to tee up Lampard but he loses it, then Liverpool's break falters with a poor Maxi cross. Terrible football.
Lucas clips Mikel and Chelsea have a free kick on the left flank, 30 yards from goal.
Decent ball into the box from Johnson and Terry clears then Essien tidies up wonderfully.
A waste from as Essien hits the first man with blue shirts in the box.
The quality has deteriorated massively in the last five minutes. Poor control, poor passing. Its awful.
Liverpool are trying to be far too cute in possession in their won third. Essien nearly steals it again.
Play breaks down with Torres again.
Kuyt backs into Terry after Carragher tackled Drogba.
Neat football from Liverpool ends with a Gerrard cross but Cech comes out to meet it.
Ivanovic meets the corner again but was off balance and can't direct it towards goal.
Bosingwa gets away from Johnson on the right but Agger blocks his cross. Corner.
Scrap that, it wasn't five yards, it was three yards. Clearly onside too. What a chance.
What a miss! Gerrard fires a bobbly shot across goal and Maxi has hit the bar from five yards with the goal gaping!
Now Kuyt finds Meireles 25 yards out but his shot is a dribble right at Cech.
Liverpool get themselves caught in possession again and Drogba finds Torres but Carragher makes a superb saving block as Reina pounced too.
Gerrard's corner is a good one but Chelsea clear as the ball drops.
Carragher spreads the ball wide for Gerrard and he wins a corner off Bosingwa.
Lampard's delivery is a good one and Ivanovic flicks a header narrowly wide of the post.
Drogba's free kick is nodded behind by Lucas.
Agger is outfoxed by Torres and sticks a forearm into the striker's face. Free kick and Torres gets up quick smart.
Torres does well to win the ball and Essien finds Lampard but his little touch to Anelka finds the Frenchman offside.
This game badly needs a goal.
He's back on as Krygiakos warms up.
Looks like Skrtel has pulled something in clearing Cole's cross.
A quality ball from Lampard to Cole who crosses but neither Drogba or Torres are anywhere near it. They should have been.
Torres is crowded out in the area then Kuyt wins a free kick off Ivanovic.
The corner is worked out to Johnson and his ball to Maxi is a decent idea but just too far in front of the winger.
Space down the right for Kuyt as he bends his run well but his cross is poor as Meireles charged up in support.
Kelly and Cole battle for the ball as it rolls toward the byline but Chelsea win the free kick.
Liverpool get out of jail as Reina knocks it short from a goal kick to Agger and Anelka very nearly pinches the ball off him. That was very nearly suicide.
Agger out-muscles Torres on the right. You can just tell they are just waiting for the right time to batter him.
Not much of a sniff for Torres after his early chance.
Kuyt is offside. Both sides cancelling each other out so far.
Torres is flagged offside as he latched onto Essien's pass. This is pretty gritty stuff so far.
Torres and Drogba being closely guarded by Liverpool's back three.
Torres gives the ball away to a big cheer from the away supporters but then Maxi's ball for Kuyt is poor. No pace up front for the visitors at all.
Chelsea on top in terms of possession but no real sight of goal for either side.
Space in the hole for Anelka but a poor pass for Drogba as he approaches the box. It all got very tight in the middle.
Torres' every touch is mercilessly booed by Liverpool's fans, of course.
Kelly bursts down the right and Meireles is in space at the back post but the eventual cross is poor and Mikel brings the ball away.
Liverpool are playing with three centre backs and Johnson and Kelly as wing backs. Meireles is playing off Kuyt up top.
Tactics wise, Anelka is playing at the top point of a diamond formation with Lampard and Essien in the middle and Mikel holding.
Hopefully now Maxi realises Torres doesn't play for his team anymore.
An early chance for Torres as Maxi Rodriguez passes right to him! He gets to the edge of the box but shoots high and wide.
Mikel launches into Gerrard and is booked inside 30 seconds. A nasty tackle.
Some handshakes and kisses from Torres to Lucas and Meireles in the tunnel and here comes the teams...
Some amusing bets on offer: Torres is 16/1 to kiss the badge if he scores and Jamie Carragher is 6/1 to be booked first after fouling Torres.
How odd will it be for him to file out of the dressing room and line-up next to his former colleagues? Wonder if any in red will aim a little dig in the ribs at him?
This should be very tasty indeed for Torres, there are plenty of Liverpool banners slagging him off outside the ground but he got a rousing reception from the home fans when he trotted out for his warm up.
We think Liverpool will play with five in defence with Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly as wing backs. Jamie Carragher is fit and returns but Luis Suarez is on the bench.
So, Torres starts. Of course he does. Kalou drops to the bench and that is quite some front three. Looks like there won't be much width to Chelsea's formation, but the same can't be said about Liverpool.
Liverpool: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Kelly, Lucas, Meireles, Johnson, Gerrard, Maxi, Kuyt. Subs: Gulacsi, Aurelio, Suarez, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos, Ngog, Poulsen.
Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Anelka, Torres, Drogba. Subs: Turnbull, David Luiz, Malouda, Ferreira, Kalou, McEachran, Sala.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome along to the big one. Fernando Torres starts for his new club, against his old club in a fixture that everyone has been eagerly anticipating.
Jon Carter wonders how Chelsea will fit Torres into their star-studded line-up. 4-4-2? Diamond? Or a a different looking 4-3-3 perhaps?
Torres is presented to the media.
Join us at 1600 GMT to see if Fernando Torres' debut for Chelsea against his old side Liverpool is a good one.
