Love the google ads at the bottom of the Daily Mail piece. You may have to refresh a few times but I saw "Firearm Replicas" and "Best 9mm For Self-Defence"!
Amazon and Apple stunting UK e-book market
More Books Might Be The Answer
As an owner of a Sony eReader, I would suggest that the high costs of the readers and ebooks along with a limited range of ebooks would be a more likely cause of the stunted market. The last two books i tried to get in epub format weren't available (the new Chris Brookmyre and AC Grayling's Liberty In The Age Of Terror). Also, the pricing is ridiculous; £19 for an old Dick Francis? Anyone would think that the publishers didn't want ebooks to succeed!

Cracking Up
My Dictionary of Hiberno-English by Terry Dolan states it is of Middle English origin, "crak" meaning loud conversation. Craic is just the pretentious (my opinion, not Prof. Dolan's) version of the modern english "crack". If "crack" is good enough for Brian Friel and Roddy Doyle then it should be good enough for anyone.

Sky told to hand over footy and film rights
It's About Carriers Not Content
The issue is not that Sky cannot charge for their product, it is that Sky Networks should not be able to unfairly promote their satellite service over other delivery methods such as cable or DTT.
You have to distinguish between Transmission Networks and Content Providers.

When shopping for clothing, you'd often find me muttering "this would look better in black". and trust me when i say, my closet is darker than the abyss. My favourite pieces of black clothing is a fitted sweater and skinny pant.. cue back to last week when my favourite and only pair of trusty skinny pants died.. the zipper broke after one too many episodes of pizza. damn. So this is my uniform, a black sweater and black cigarette pants that is around 2 sizes too big. but what the hell. more pizza for me then ;)
what's your uniform?
much love.

election of their representatives, control over the issues dealt with
by the government and how the government responds to those issues.
There are, however, limits to majoritarianism; the larger public
takes an interest in only a few of the many issues dealt with by the
government. Most policies result from pressure by the few groups that
are directly affected by that issue.
Also, elected leadership can choose to make decisions that are unpopular with the majority—such as President Obama's escalation of troop levels in Afghanistan.
42. (p. 11, 13) Define politics, power, and authority.
Politics is the means by which society settles its conflicts and allocates the resulting benefits and costs. Those factions or people who prevail in getting their values accepted are said to have power. When power is exercised through the laws and institutions of government, authority is involved. Authority is defined as the recognized right of an official or institution to exercise power.
43. (p. 8-9) Describe how the historical origins of democracy in America and Europe have led to differing public beliefs about the government's role in the redistribution of income.
America's strong belief in individualism developed early, through the country's origins as a wilderness society in which there was no aristocracy or social structure to limit the ambitions of individuals. Democratic institutions and the government's role in the economy developed in accordance with these early established views. In Europe, there was an aristocracy, a tiny middle class, and a huge peasant mass, fomenting the belief that a person's fortunes were dictated by society and that the individual had little control over them. Thus when democratic governments developed, they held the belief that government had responsibility for the economic well-being of the less fortunate.
44. (p. 6-8) What are some of the barriers to political thinking in the United States?
The major barrier to political thinking is the unwillingness of citizens to make the effort to educate themselves. Democratic government works best if the citizenry works to develop political thinking, but most individuals do not make the effort. Another major barrier is the changing nature of media. The rise of cable television news networks and Internet blogs have provided many of those individuals that do pay close attention to the news with unproductive avenues. Most of these new outlets provide very biased news reporting, and individuals that seek them out tend to gravitate toward those sources that reinforce their own personal beliefs.
45. (p. 18) How could one argue that America is not run by a small power elite?
One could argue that due to the diversity of group structures in America and the fierce competition over whose values will emerge victorious on any particular issue, it would be difficult for one homogeneous group to consistently control policies and all other competing political forces in the United States. Power in America is also dynamic; whereas once women and minorities were severely restricted from the exercise of power, many of those barriers have been removed, and their influence has grown considerably.

A Texas financial advisor can help state consumers from the Dallas Fort Worth area to Houston and all across the state to deal with challenging circumstances affecting their finances. Texas residents in all municipalities can find a top financial advisor in their local area to give them a hand with their unique situation. Perhaps you are planning for retirement and trying to figure out the feasibility of doing it a little earlier than you had originally planned. Or maybe you're thinking about buying a home and wondering how much it's all going to cost you. Some state residents speak to a Texas financial advisor just to get a little help coping with everyday expenses. These days we could all use a little help in that area. Whatever your need might be, count on the expertise of a Texas financial advisor to help you meet your personal finance goals.
These days many among us in San Antonio or Austin, Texas are skeptical whether we can ever hope to retire. The financial ramifications seem too overwhelming given the way cost of living keeps going up and wages seem stagnant in recent years. Yet in the back of our minds, many of us have the idea of retiring early. Don't assume just because economic conditions are not the greatest they have ever been that this is not a feasible possibility. Talk to a financial advisor about your retirement prospects and get started today laying down plans.
For some of us in Texas, the totality of our retirement portfolio consists of a single IRA or 401k we got through our work. We may not even be sure of its contents or why we're invested in particular funds. If this describes your situation, working with a Texas financial advisor can help you shore up your retirement investments and get them more in shape to meet specific goals and perform over time. Investing in a particular Roth IRA just because some person at your work told you to is no way to set up a retirement portfolio. Get with a financial advisor and whip your retirement accounts into shape. Don't just hope for the best as time goes by. Take a more proactive approach and make sure you get where you want to be, even if your goal is to retire early.
Of course, saving for retirement is not always on our radar when it comes to our personal finances. There are other things coming up a lot sooner in our lives that sometimes have to take precedence at least temporarily. One example is when we're getting ready to buy a house. Renting has its advantages, but home ownership is great for a lot of reasons, too, among them the tax benefits and the feeling that your payments are actually doing something for you each month. Parenthood and the prospects of a growing family make the itch to buy a house much stronger for many residents in Texas. Working with an advisor, you can take a look at the whole cost of owning a house to get an accurate assessment of its feasibility.
There is more to home ownership that just making the mortgage payment. Talk to your Texas financial advisor about getting a cost projection. Find out about property taxes, maintenance, and utilities, and see if it might be the right time to make a move. Work with your Texas financial advisor as your partner and you can make the right choices with a lot less hassle. Don't jump the gun on such an important financial matter without some good advice and thoughtful consideration.
A Texas financial advisor can be of help for other areas of concern as well. If you have ideas for creating an emergency fund, you can work with an advisor to get it started the right way. If you don't know what to do when you get dividend income from your investments, your Texas advisor will walk you through your options including the things you need to do tax wise with that income. And something many of us struggle with is how to save enough money to help our kids pay their way through college in Texas. Working with a Texas financial advisor can give you fresh ideas and clear insight into any situation you might be facing in your personal financial life.
Whether your problem is trying to figure out how to stay afloat after a recent job loss or deciding which mutual fund to choose for long term investment, you can get help finding a solution well versed in finding answers to just these sorts of questions. Get in touch with a Texas financial advisor and get started making plans today.
Our specialists will conduct a custom search to find local planners and advisors who meet your specific requirements.
"I wanted to be sure I met with an advisor who wouldn't just throw all sorts of financial jargon at me without explanation, and this site helped me find an advisor who was great at explaining things simply. Thanks!"

How creative! I love your list and I may do a few of the things you posted about!
WOW – it is very christmasy around here – Love the spirit

What a great idea! I may borrow this next year. My kids would love it!
What a wonderful idea!! It keeps your family together and doing things together as a family!!
This looks like so much fun. Enjoy!
Thanks Deb!

That's such a great list! I especially like #3.

Re: Ainge: Move a PF for a Center
posted at 12/11/2011 2:45 PM ESTIn Response to Re: Ainge: Move a PF for a Center:
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Ainge: Move a PF for a Center : Big Baby - 5.4 rpg Shaq - 4.8 rpg Krstic - 5.3 rpg Shaq and Krstic's averages plus Big Baby's average gave us more or less 10 rebounds per game at the Center position last season. Add that with KG's 9 rpg that's close to 20 rpg from the C and PF positions. KG and West at the C and PF positions is not much better when it comes to rebounding.
Posted by Fiercest34[/QUOTE]
KG will get a few more offensive rebounds playing center over PF. Esp b/c Bass and West both have superior mid-range games to Baby and the other big KG would have been paired with over the past 3 years (mostly Perk).
KG should really only play 26-30 mins a game this season. If Doc doesn't play him over 30, which would eb suicide for the playoffs, then I'd see KG getting 10.5 rebounds in 28 mins, esp with his legs feeling better than they have in years and a dedication to them. He knows West, Bass and Green can score a lot more buckets than Baby, Perk and Daniels could... those were the guys whose minutes those three will be getting.
Wilcox is a career 5 rebounds in 20 mins guy. Give him 3 in 12.
West is a career 7.3 in 33 mins. As he eases himself in from knee surgery look for 6 rebounds in 28 mins.
Bass will get you 4.5 rebounds in 20 mins.
That leaves 8 mins for Wilcox or Bass to prove they are a 20 or 28 minute a game player (instead of 12 and 20) or for Jeff green to prove he is a 36 minute a game player instead of 28, and deserves PF minutes.
Either way, that is another board.
That is 24 rebounds right there.
Rondo and Pierce will always combine to get you 9. Dooling is a big PG. Pierce a big SG, Green a bif SF. Lots of height with those 3 guys playing a lot in the backcourt abd at SF.
We will be fatser, longer, play above the rim more and rebound much better if that was the lineup we put out there.
And there is still a 3m contract we have to offer someone. Maybe a big guard who keeps Avery on the bench 1 more year or a real Center who bumps Wilcox or Bass to the bench.

Posted by tomkyan[/QUOTE]
That is an outrageous proposition. Yes we need more size and Dalembert would be a nice addition to the C's, but that is way too much for him. He is not worth 1 1st round pick let alone 2. We can't be losing picks unless it is for something serious.
Dalembert is worth the Mini MLE, and if it were a sign and trade we prob. would only need to send a second round pick and maybe one of the young guns we just signed for camp. Sacto has enough bigs, they just added Hayes to the 5 spot to play behind Cousins.
Dalembert would have been picked up by now if he was going to warrant big $$$. He is unrestricted and can do whatever. The longer he goes without interest from other teams the more likely he would take the Mini MLE to come to Boston.
Done logically, there is a way to obtain Dalembert and keep JON and keep both our 1s rounders.

"Misleading author claim"
I just finished this book and found the same problems with it as I found with "Acts of War" Too many characters, too much jumping around in the story line and extremely poor story. I would give it zero stars if that were an option.
"Not written by Tom Clancy!"
Too many characters. Too much jumping around in the story line. Poor story; I knew the ending after 10 minutes of listening. I think it is misleading to put Tom Clancy's name on the book when he didn't write it.

Response from Robert J. Frascino, M.D.
The Robert James Frascino AIDS FoundationHey Kinky-But-Fun Steve,HIV does not survive very long outside the body. That, plus the fact the hooker wrapped her strap-on stump before she started to hump, would indicated your HIV risk is essentially nil. The decision whether to get tested is... Read more »

Enzo Amore
Real Name
Enzo Amore
Date of Birth
November 30, -0001
Place of Birth
John Cena and Kane wrestled to a double countout during their match at Royal Rumble 2012. The action spilled to ringside and neither man was able to get back into the ring. Kane gave Cena some chair shots after the match, and then attacked an injured Zack Ryder as well.
January 29, 2012
While he is not a well known name to WWE fans yet, Enzo Amore is currently in the plans with the company. The developmental wrestler recently made his return to WWE NXT from a leg injury that he suffered towards the end of 2013. Management feels that he has some potential, even though he is not currently anywhere near the head of the line to be called up to the main roster.
April 18, 2014
There have been a lot of fans wondering what SAWFT, a term utilized by Enzo Amore, means. It has now been revealed that it is how the NXT developmental wrestler spells the word "soft". The intentional misspelling fits in with his hip hop themed gimmick.

- Not just steaksOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/24/2014In spite of being known for their steaks, they have a "wellness" menu that is full of vegan options. And not basic stuff, but dishes that make this place a choice for vegans/vegetarians, rather than just "okay, I'll go there" because your friends or family want to. It's not cheap, though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent service. Good food.LyndaVIPDined on 11/15/2014DUO works hard at providing excellent, welcoming service and it shows. We ate breakfast here twice and then decided to try it for dinner. The service was, again, very good. The food was served in a timely fashion and was really good. The music was appropriate for the setting (Hawaiian.) Menu is pricey but that is true of all restaurants at these resorts. However, we weren't disappointed. Great spot for a special celebration.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful way to start a vacationYUMMYDined on 11/15/2014This was are first night of our vacation and it was a wonderful way to start it. The Four Seasons is a beautiful place just to walk through, but the food at DUO was outstanding. Our party decided that we would have the pre-set menu from Restrauant Week. Part of my party started with the Beet Salad and/or the Steamed Buns, both were out of this world and could have easily made a complete meal. The Flat Iron Steak was delicious, especially with the crispy onions and the blue cheese fondue,yum. The Seared Mahi Mahi had a slight problem, the kale was quite bitter and tough, but other than that it was excellent. We had decided on the Banana Toffee Pudding to finish off our fabulous meal. What a treat. The best dessert I've ever had. Thanks for starting my vacation like this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh Market Friday!MauiRoseDined on 11/14/2014Excellent service was the hallmark of this birthday dinner! Beautifully set on Four Seasons' grounds in Wailea, Duo is a gem. Freshly caught seafood, marbled steaks, gigantic porterhouse pork slabs, & more fill a smartly designed open air market which greet guests as they enter the restaurant. Also available is a kids' bar of delectable kiddy fare. A simple but clever end to the dinner is a plate filled with swirling cotton candy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/10/2014I would not recommend this restaurant , we ordered soup that has no flavor might have been dishwater, Cesar salads were wet with water came out with no cheeses had to ask for some , when dinner finally arrived my steak $48 was luke warm. Overall would not recommend this restaurant it was a waste of $250.00. very disappointing was last night in Hawaii would have done better at a food truck at a tenth of cost!
- Great Sunset DiningSusanBVIPDined on 11/8/2014Duo, in the Four Seasons, Wailea, Maui is in a beautiful location. Sunsets, great cocktails, exceptional food. I had the lobster crusted salmon and it was on my top ten for seafood. We had great service and it was a memorable dinner!Special Features:
- Amazing!KnelsonDined on 11/7/2014We went there even after some not so great reviews. It was amazing. The food was soooo good with a beautiful view. I would reccomend this to everyone!! Going back next time in Maui!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Strong 6CdngrlDined on 11/5/2014Service was excellent, extensive wine list, nice atmosphere. I started with the Maui four onion soup. Likely not the best choice. Slightly over cheesed, with chalky saturation of layered breads beneath. Very limited broth. It was a bit of a disappointment, as it came highly recommendSpecial Features:
- Best Meal on MauiOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/31/2014Our Duo meal was the best meal we had our whole trip. Me and my husband split the 34oz aged Tomahawk steak. It was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. We also tried the truffle mac and cheese for an appetizer and it was gooooood! Our waiters were very accommodating and very helpful, great service! Well done Duo. We will see you next time we are in Maui!Special Features:
- Just OkayFoodiebobDined on 10/29/2014Ambiance and service was excellent. Tables were arranged well for private setting and the wait staff did a great job. However the food was only mediocre. Ceasar salad was good but nothing special when compared to other fine dining restaurants. Filet Migion was served below temp like it was sitting on the cold plate a little too long. If you are into great food there are better options in the area.
- Island eveningSnowgirlVIPDined on 10/26/2014Everything we had was excellent, with our steaks done as we ordered. The menu is not huge, but there is a steak and seafood for every taste. They also offer a meal for two, such as a whole baked fish for two. We were too full for dessert, so we said no thanks. Then we were served a pleasant surprise---a plate with a tall spiral of green cotton candy (the flavor of the day being green apple). I thought I was long past cotton candy. Turns out I was wrong, as we snarfed down the whole thing!Special Features:
- Gluten Free ParadiseGFGalDined on 10/26/2014Staff bent over backwards to make us happy. Great gluten free options...a terrific GF menu but also many regular fishes can be made gluten free. Had the snapper to share and a to die for GF Vegan Chocolate Mousse. Also ate at Ferraros (same resort) and loved that too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasure eating at DuoHavoc666Dined on 10/19/2014Always the best steak and seafood and service in Wailea. The raw bar was on point along with meats to offer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Basic Steak DonenessBBQJerryDined on 10/16/2014One would hope that a restaurant professing to specialize in steak would get the cooking temps correct. My steak came medium rate after ordering rare. My companion's was medium when she ordered medium-rare. Our server offered to re-do the steaks but we were starving and ate them anyway. Both were very good but I would have expected some make-good gesture, whether a drink, adjustment or free dessert. After all, this place is affiliated with the legendary-service leaders Four Seasons. It was never mentioned again. Despite this, we'd return, but we'd make more of an issue if the same mistake were made.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- high quality dinner all aroundScudmanDined on 10/16/2014Celebrated our anniversary and the team at DUO did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, everyone addressed us by our name, helped us decide on food and wine and provided high quality service. We split the Ono and maui steak, both were perfect. I like different and unique and the wine list in an iPad was the first check off item. Second was the watermelon cotton candy at the meal end. Fun!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As always very, very good overall!SemperFiDined on 10/15/2014Great staff, good food, great service, we have been going here for years and the staff is to perfection. Great for sunset dinner, and free valet parking if you are not staying on the property. I highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular serviceIvyBluesDined on 10/13/2014Looking for a steakhouse or seafood while at Maui? Duo at #fsmaui is a great location for any occasion, family friend, nice pool view, onpoint service. The restaurant is very relaxing with moderate pricing. The restaurant honors occasions and provide complimentary amenity for their guests. Surely will recommend Duo steak and seafood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricey for the value.....OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 10/12/2014Food not bad, ordered a fish snapper platter for two..... A little too dry for my taste and overall the place seemed a tad expensive for what you get. Bottom line..... you can find many other great places around the area with great food and views..... Just not impressed with the value at Duo.Special Features:
- Amazing food and beautiful viewskww125Dined on 10/9/2014We had an amazing dinner with gorgeous views of the ocean at sunset. Will definitely return as often as possible!Special Features:
- Salty & SlowTTwilliamsDined on 10/5/2014The service was very slow and the restaurant wasn't even crowded. Our food came and all aspects were extremely salty. My 6 oz filet was salty and looked smaller than 6 oz. The broccoli rabe was so salty that I didn't even eat any. We ordered a side of truffle Mac n Cheese and it was so rich we had two bites and left it. Would not recommend to the foodie at heart. Both my husband and I were terribly disappointed with an expensive receipt.Special Features:
- Exceptional ServicetheplaceDined on 10/4/2014The food we ordered was excellent as was the wine chosen for our meal. Our server, Maria, was very helpful and attentive to our needs and likes. She always made sure that our appetizer and entree were to our liking. Beautiful outdoor setting in at a remarkable resort. Yes, we will return.Special Features:
- PedestrianTunesVIPDined on 10/4/2014Unfortunately Duo was a pedestrian experience. The salad was thrown together , the pork buns were very limited on the pork. The entrees were for some reason delayed beyond the usual 20 minute time limit. Most importantly everything is way way overpriced even for Maui.Special Features:
- Not as good as once wasFooddetectiveVIPDined on 9/22/2014My wife and I stay at the Maui 4 Seasons every year, often twice a year. Duo "used" to be the best steak house in Maui. But they have changed chef's once too often for my palate and they have truly lost their way. Our last meal just a couple of days ago was quite disappointing, it seems that Duo no longer wants to be a steak house, but they want to be an eclectic restaurant that strives to be too many things to too many people. Ambiance, service was outstanding, no problems there. But the menu is no longer focused on steak, real steak for steak lovers. Small steaks, more fish than beef, all prepared in off the hook sauces and prep styles. Until they get back to the basics, I will dine down the street at Ruth's Chris. Sorry, but its true.Special Features:
- could have been better...niknak311VIPDined on 9/18/2014Service was great but the food was not worth the money. Husband got the ribeye and it was sad looking. Lacked seasoning, bad butchering job, no char on the outside. My hanger steak was overcooked. They were serving a group of 50 - 100 which I think screwed up the rest of quality of the food being sent out. Not worth the $400 we spent but at least the wine was good.
- Exquisite DinnerZeekandKesDined on 9/12/2014My husband and I enjoy a delicious dinner. He had the Mahi Mahi which he was salivating over and I had the petit filet. It was so tender and juicy. The service was excellent. Our waiter was awesome. He explained everything to us with such passion. Everyone was on top of. Loved this place and would definitely come back.Special Features:
- Great Service, but Food Was OK.BigIslandFoodieDined on 9/12/2014We went to market night, and the food was not very good. I had the snapper, which was deep fried.. very odd, and quite flavorless. The restaurant is set off the ocean so we had to walk away from our table for 10 minutes to watch the sunset. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was very romantic. Definitely a great place for a special occasion dinner, especially if you can get one of the better view tables.Special Features:
- Raw Bar BuffetSteveTXDined on 9/9/2014Excellent atmosphere to celebrate our Fifth Wedding Anniversary. The Raw Bar seafood buffet was excellent with lobster, prawns, crab, and a variety of raw oysters. I highly recommend Duo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- rejNyvonneDined on 9/6/2014The service awesome very friendly. For a place with good customer service im pretty dissapointed on the meal itself. I was expecting a great meal since i had a awesome meal from spargo. Other then that like the service was awesome.
- Very Nice!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014this is a great place with good food quality. The cotton candy is a cool touch for dessert. It is a little strange paying hundreds of dollars for dinner and having people waling in in shorts and tee shirts. I cant get used to that...Special Features:
- Our Favorite restaurant in MauiLAFoodieVIPDined on 9/5/2014We dine at Duo at least twice during our stays in Maui. The food is always great, starting from the appetizers to the meats and fish and ending with amazing desserts. On some nights, they offer raw seafood bar, which consists of fresh oysters, poke, lobster and crab. On Friday nights, they have "Market Night" which features local vendors of produce, meats and fish. It's a great concept and the food is delicious! We always look forward to returning to Duo!Special Features:
- A new favoritechickonmauiVIPDined on 9/5/2014We went here on a Friday night where they have a special menu "Market Night". There is something for everyone on the menu, lots of excellent choices. We had a fabulous server, Nolina. She made great wine recommendations and happily accommodated the kids in our party. We will return without a doubt!Special Features:
- Great but priceyEmployedandhungryDined on 9/3/2014The staff are amazing and the place has great ambiance, without a doubt. We went to dinner and had a wonderful time. The views, the service, the decor were all outstanding. I have no problem recommending this spot to anyone looking to make a splash. The food was good, but not great. It's also a bit pricey if you have shallow pockets. Beyond that, the whole experience was enjoyable and I'm really glad we chose this restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 35th anniversary tripLVorbustVIPDined on 8/21/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We had a friendly energetic server who met our every need. Great food, and wonderful wine list. Finished off the meal with lemonciello!Special Features:
- sp4MendyDined on 8/19/2014We have eaten at Duo several years running. This was our best experience yet. We advised Duo that it was our anniversary, and we had a great table. The service was beyond outstanding, and the food was excellent. All in all, it was a great evening.Special Features:
- ExcellentYumyumVIPDined on 8/17/2014Service phenomenal. Great entrees, other food was good. Recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Four Seasons contest...what elseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/4/2014Menu with original meat and fish receipts. Reccomended!Special Features:
- Below expectationsBarryDined on 8/2/2014Way off! After appetizers, we had to wait over an hour for our entree's, of which two were cooked way off order. The waiter was very embarrassed, however, management seemed slightly interested in correcting the issue. Two members of our party ended up finishing their dinners 15 minutes prior to the second half of the party. One would assume a steakhouse cooking 50+ tables a night would be able to nail expediting.
- The following 323 reviews are from the DUO - Steak & Seafood reviews archive.
- Nice but over ratedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/27/2014Duo is a very nice setting over looking the ocean with comfortable seating outside. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The menu was decent and our group had a variety of items. The New York steak was the best entree and the lobster crusted salmon is worth trying. The filet mignon was over cooked, sent back and the second one cooked fine but very pedestrian. Our tab was $60 per person without any drinks so with so many options in Wailea it would be hard to recommend Duo.Special Features:
- We love this restaurant!FergfamVIPDined on 7/26/2014We have been coming here for 10 years and it is definitely one of favorite restaurants at the Four Seasons... The staff are amazing and the food is always good - they are always adding things to the menu to keep it interesting...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MadisonDined on 7/22/2014Awesome dinner with lots of choices! Service was awesome! Timmy was our server and was helpful and attentive. Duo is always on our list when at Four Seasons! Love the Pear Martinis!!Special Features:

High school students, no matter what they do or don't like, always prefer a couple things: fashion and convenience, which is why they all love lanyards so much. Teenagers love the convenience and easy self-expression that come with these great types of key chains that come in so many varieties. They look great and make daily life a little easier on high school students. And we all know, anything that makes life easier during those tough years is something that will be well-received.
One significant thing goes away quite a bit when a person enters his or her teen years: time. High school students begin to have less time and much more to do every single day. They take on things like more homework, jobs, sports, after school activities, relationships, and even more social time as they begin to drive. Time is just not something high school students tend to have a ton of overall.
In addition to this, high school students begin to be a little lazier and look for convenience. This is why things like fast food become popular. It is so much easier to not have to spend a ton of time doing something when you don't have to, and teenagers don't want to have to – ever. Looking for lost keys is one thing that they don't want to have to spend a ton of time doing when they have places to go and things to do – even if those things just mean meeting a friend for a shopping trip.
The teen years are times when appearance and self-expression are very popular. Everyone around you as you walk through the halls of your high school is looking at your appearance and how it represents you as a person. Unfortunately, many are judging this form of expression as well. Even the students that do not care for this type of judgment and mentality want to express that they don't care for this pattern of behavior. Whatever the desire for expression, every single detail of what a person wears and carries in high school is a method of fashion and self-expression. Teenagers buy clothes that they want to wear, no matter their styles. They begin to express themselves using accessories and hair color as well, and even makeup. This is the time when they begin to show their individuality to those around them.
The combination of these two factors leads to the incredible popularity of logo lanyards. These great forms of key chains are both fashionable and convenient, and what is even better, they come in nearly endless different varieties so that any teenager can purchase the right one for his or her tastes. These items are incredibly convenient because they can be worn around the neck, or can fit in a pocket or purse. That way, there will be no digging through items to find the keys that you want to find to go somewhere. They are simple, made of long pieces of fabric, so they are fashionable enough to be worn by both males and females, and they come in many different varieties.
High school students may be hard to please on many levels, but at a time in life when there is little extra time to do unnecessary tasks, and convenience and fashion are key, the lanyard is an incredibly popular solution to all of these problems. It looks great, and it is easy to wear or hold. This makes life easier for high school students, which is why you can see so many different high school students, no matter their tastes; all prefer to keep their keys on lanyards.

While the bands (The Theater Fire, Pleasant Grove, I Love Math), the art up for auction (created by 150 local artists during a 24-hour period) and the charitable cause (Children's Health Fund) were mighty impressive, what made last year's inaugural Art Conspiracy event exponentially interesting was its historic choice of venue. The Texas Theatre was where police cornered Oswald after the JFK assassination. Likewise, The Longhorn Ballroom, home to this year's benefit, has its own infamous local history. Aside from being a live music institution that saw folks such as Bob Willis, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ernest Tubb regularly grace its stage, the venue is also renowned for hosting the Sex Pistols in 1978, when Sid Vicious was head-butted by a female audience member. So come on down, dig on the art, jam on the music, and if the feeling's right, re-create that fateful night by assaulting a local musician with your forehead. Peter Schmidt and His Gentleman Scholars, Fishboy, Spitfire Tumbleweeds, John Holiday and DJ Stephen R join repeat offenders the Happy Bullets and Salim Nourallah and the Polaroids at Art Conspiracy II, 7 p.m. Friday at the Longhorn Ballroom, 216 Corinth St. at Industrial Boulevard. Admission is $10, with proceeds benefiting La Reunion artist residency in Oak Cliff. Visit artconspiracy.org for more info.
Fri., Dec. 1, 7 p.m.
