If the GP selection rules don't change, he and new partner will still be in the running for an initial GP selection (in addition to a possible host assignment) under the split couple rule and a second as a replacement couple, based on his Worlds placement with Marley. If they go back to two years ago's rules, he can get one as a TBA for Skate America and one by being at the top of the split couples list.
If he finds someone this season, they can concentrate on the basics and becoming a team. It didn't hurt Belbin/Agosto when they did this.

Any news on whether Dee Dee Leng passed her Sr. Pairs test?
Yes, she did on 8/11
I see the 'pecking order' in US pairs as follows -
D/C - Love or hate them, they are the undisputed frontrunners for title of best US pair. Per the Icenetwork article Sylvia posted above, John stated they are aware of their PCS shortcomings and they are taking modern dance lessons, so we might see something fresh and new from them this season.
C/S - They've been doing fairly well and I'd slot them in 2d right now. It sounded like they did really well at both Indy and Cranberry Open in the LP (110 pts. or so at Cranberry). The Icenetwork article makes it sound like they are attacking the season from a different angle.
D/S - I luv them. They have the most talent. But, they really need to hit the SBS jumps. It will be interesting to see how they do against C/S this season. They could be ranked ahead of them or behind them (depends on whether C/S get some momentum). Also, between D/S and C/S, it may come down to which pair is most consistent on the SBS jumps since they both ironically have issues with those elements!
D/L - For a new pair, they are making big strides in a short amount of time. They got the 3twist quickly and Mark has found a partner that can land SBS jumps. Lindsay isn't a slouch on the other elements, either. I can see them on the podium at Nats.
Z/B and S/K - Z/B might have an outside shot at the podium or even the team (depends on how good or bad C/S or D/S can be), but I have a feeling they might get held back for any of the above pairs (maybe they are considered even with D/L). They seem really hungry and hit the big elements. I hope S/K get a shot at an international competition. They deserve it. She has diva potential and he shows her off properly. The fact that they could keep up w/ MT/M in the SP, nailing some big elements at Detroit in July after only a couple of months together speaks volumes about their potential, but the USFSA really needs to take notice of that first!
V/B - They seemed to improve in the SP at Golden West after the crap showing at Indy. IDK. The USFSA might consider them out-to-pasture already.
Y/R - I would love to love them, but they've admitted that they're not expecting much this year and it sounds like in interviews that they need more time together. Maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised and they will outperform expectations. Per the same Icenetwork article, it sounds like the throw jumps are good to go.
B/T - seem to be squeaking through the elements in their summer competition despite being so new as a pair, and that was surprising to me. They also seem to have a good sense of style. But need more time together.
L/L - See above.

Who are L/L?
I forgot about them , but I honestly see them all at the back end this season. Perhaps below Y/R.
I consider D/F to be the most promising of the 3 and based on past results, D/F might end up around Z/B - just off the podium and above Y/R.
What division are Pfund / Reiss competing in at Nats? Jr. or Sr. ?
Per Sylvia's scoretracker, Pfund/Reiss entered LA Open this summer as juniors. http://unseenskaters.wordpress.com/s...-pairs-scores/ I imagine they'll remain in junior for one more season.
Aren't Brittany Simpson and Mathew Blackmer skating senior domestically and junior internationally like Denney/Frasier?
Also which member of Liu/Perini aren't age eligible?
Unless Simpson/Blackmer's plans have changed recently, they are skating junior both internationally and nationally this season.
Devin was 19 in April; Chelsea doesn't turn 13 until December.Also which member of Liu/Perini aren't age eligible?
Thanks for posting the Pairs Scoretracker link, Rochelle - I just updated it today with scores from Golden West and Onyx Challenge.

Does anybody know the sectional breakdown for the novice-senior pairs??
Thanks )
Current International Scores of US Pairs 2012-2013
Simpson/Blackmer 133
Aaron/Settlage 130
Denney/Frazier 127
Pfund/Reiss 124
Calalang/Sidhu 123
De la mora/Wilson 113
Oltmanns/Santillan 102
Will update tomorrow with scores of Vise/Baldwin, Davis/Ladwig, Zhang/Bartholomay
I wonder if Simpson/Blackmer would have medaled at JGP Lake Placid with those programs. Even though their score was lower, I enjoyed Aaron/Settlage's programs much more.
Also, assuming Calalang/Sidhu and Simpson/Blackmer get a 2nd JGP, who do you think gets the final spot available?? De La Mora/Wilson, Oltmanns/Santillian, Goldberg/Dolk, or Belt/Johnson ?
FWIW, Christina Zaitsev/Ernie Utah Stevens have the highest summer competition total score (113 at Indy Challenge) of the age-eligible pairs yet to be assigned to a JGP.
I've updated my U.S. Pairs Scoretracker with scores from recent club competitions, the first 2 JGPs, as well as the Senior B and Junior/Novice Challenge Skate in Salt Lake City this past weekend: http://unseenskaters.wordpress.com/s...-pairs-scores/

Thanks. Interesting to see C/S doing so well in the pre-season. I hope they overcome the inconsistency on the SBS jumps because they are dynamic and their explosiveness on the big elements, as well as the lifts, could take them far. Also didn't realize that S/K's score at Skate Detroit is comfortably the 3rd highest score among all US pairs so far. I'll say it 'til I'm blue in the face: USFSA, take note!

At ALC we pride ourselves on three main things: excellent product, keen attention to details and absolutely the best customer service throughout the entire process. We are looking for someone to join our expanding team who sees themselves as having a creative eye for style, is meticulously organized, and can bring a warm, welcoming and unique personality to our customer focused company.
Table Design: Urban Foodie
In the past we've shared with you table designs we've created such as MadLove and more recently, Rocky Mountain Rustic. From this weekend, we'd love to share with you the table we designed called "Urban Foodie" for the Wedding Planner and Guide Winter Bridal Show.
Giving Thanks
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it is time to start thinking about your Grandma's gravy recipe, seeing your favorite cousins and, of course, how to decorate your table! A LA CRATE was recently featured on NBC 15 where we showcased some of our favorite products for beautifying your home during the holidays.
Inspiration to Reality
We were asked to design a vignette, inspired by a region of the country, for The Bridal Show at Overture. We had just seen stylist Amber Whitehouse's sister's beautiful Wyoming wedding (http://elybrothers.com/kevin-faith/) and thought it was jaw-dropping! What if we did a Rocky Mountain themed display and incorporated our harvest tables, fireplace mantel and bought some cozy rugs, etc. to bring it to life?! We loved that idea and brought Amber on board to help us out. Just like our MadLove display (http://alacratevintage.com/blog/mad-love) from January 2012 where we used napkins for the inspiration…for this display we used this photo taken by Larry Johnson of Jackson Hole, Wyoming for inspiration. Every decision always came back to this one photo. Now, how do we bring this photo to life?
Sneak Peek: Classroom Chairs
All of you blog followers out there are getting a sneak peek today at ALC's newest (and coolest) seating option - pretty exciting, right? Who else out there remembers these colorful elementary school chairs? Well, they are now the perfect vintage addition to your child's next birthday party or your upcoming wedding as Mr/Mrs, Mr/Mr, Mrs/Mrs chairs (we even have adult size!). For photographers out there, use these great chairs for all the children's portrait sessions you have scheduled this fall. And for apparel stylists like me, these chairs would be a fantastic prop for a retro back-to-school photo shoot! However you use them, my guess is that these chairs are going to be a popular item to rent. So, keep your eyes peeled for their availability in the ALC inventory soon! Stay tuned next week for another new item announcement and a "recipe" to go along with it!

La Portenia Font Family by Sudtipos
La Portenia pays homage to the spirit of early 20th-century show card writers and type designers.
This font has two variations: La Portenia de Recoleta is slightly more formal and polite, while La Portenia de la Boca has longer, more extravagant flourishes and indulges in more interletter space. This showier variant is reminiscent of signs found in Buenos Aires.

I just wanted to see how many different kinds of people we got going on this site :D
Just give a holler and let everyone know what area you represent!
I'm from Brampton, but for the sake of simplicity I'll say Toronto! WOO!
Hobe Sound, Florida, bible belt
My name is Dan. I live in Barrow, Alaska.
New Jersey!
Avengers....err I mean, atheists! Assemble!
Mays Landing, New Jersey, just outside of Atlantic City.
The world's good people owe Kuala Lumpur a big THANK YOU. Your courts earlier this year convicted our Bush, Cheney, etc for war crimes and reported the verdict to the World Court.
Someone long ago said the wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly fine. It's time to get on with the fine grinding.
Welcome to A/N.
I wonder how many war crimes Obama will be found guilty of in the future for the hundreds of assassinations by drones of targets and the thousands of innocent casualties from those strikes he has committed?
The convictions are worthless. They cannot be enforced unless the convicted are sill enough to visit the countries where they have been found guilty.
John, I too will go off subject. In the news a few weeks ago: a court in Kuala Lumpur convicted Bush, Cheney and a few allies of war crimes and forwarded their judgement to the World Court. I doubt that Bush, Cheney and their allies will leave the US of A soon; they won't get arrested and put on trial here.
Going back on subject: I was at the University of Florida when I left Catholicism for agnosticism. Until I retired and moved to California, I was too busy (and too happy) to consider the matter further. I recently left agnosticism for atheism.
Very few xians give me any flak. When one does, I tell him religion is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on humankind.
Robert, you stated Republican (Tea Party?) views well, but most of the people who post on this thread tell us what part of the world they are from.
Hey Tom,
Typical of a liberal, like religious people, to discount someones views because they don't fit with their own. You are right I am conservative, but you ignore the fact that the nobel peace prize winner Obama has started several wars without congressional or U.N. approval and has an assasination list and is murdering innocent people as we speak. I could have easily been an anti-war leftist except as everyone knows, they are silent about Obama's war crimes. They just don't like unsanctioned murders when it is done by conservatives. Perhaps the peace prize gives him the pass that I am unaware of?
I listed where I am currently living weeks ago, but will do so again. Currently South Dakota USA, previously, California, Germany, Texas, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, and now South Dakota in that order.

forgiving and flattering fit! I am a 12 -14 and the large is just right, not too tight and not baggy. It puddles a bit at the hem, just like the pic. The belt is iffy, thinking I will buy a nicer one, but at this price who can complain?
I have a small figure and this jumper looks good on me. It's loose on top but fits right when it comes to my behind. If you are really short do not buy unless you want to be tripping over the pants. I am 5'10" and the inseam is slightly not touching the floor.
This is by far one of the best purchases I've made online. I'm about a size 10-12 depending on the cut and the medium fits perfectly... I'll have to have it hemmed because I'm only 5-2, but other than that, this piece fits in all the right places. Will be wearing it to my bday party next month. Love it in a brown..
When you receive it it will look severly wrinkled, once washed and dried fabric is great. very soft like a tshirt. Got many compliments. Dressed it up with an embelished belt (the one received was good and will work with other outfits)
It's a nice jumpsuit, but it didn't look graceful on me and I returned it. It was too long for my 5'6' and would have required shortening at the bottom, though not possible in the upper half. The material was soft and light, as described, and the belt was okay, contrary to some reviews. One thing I didn't think of when purchasing was its impracticality when nature calls. It can only be put on or taken off by the opening at the top collar, which is wide enough, but also involves removing the belt ( attached by very flimsy strings). I think that I will stick to two-piece outfits.
Overall I was happy with my purchase because for the price I paid it was what I expected. The fit was loose. I probably could have gone down 1 size because the large was too big on the top part. But the fit was good regardless of that. And it looked good which is what matters in the end. I would buy it again, maybe a size down next time.
I got a lot of complement of this jumpsuit, I worn at night for Going out with my fashion necklace. It very beautiful with my high heel shoes. My husband love it. I wish I can have other color. I am 5'6 and fit perfect for Large size with 2 1/2 heel shoe Just perfect. Love it, Thank for Overstock.com
I'm 5'4" 130 with a longer torso and shorter legs. This jumpsuit fit perfectly. Very pleased with the value. Hopefully it will be offered in more colors.
What a versatile jumpsuit. So happy with my purchase. Can be quite dressy or more casual depending on accessories. Fit is very good. I expected the legs to be long and they are perfect. The fabric is also really nice and soft. Not sure I will wash. Will probably dry clean to preserve the color and texture of fabric. I recommend this jumpsuit.
Good fit - looks good and easy to slip on. Fabric is a little thin, but that is not a problem. Would recommend. Good value.

Tuesday was IHOP's National Pancake Day. Time magazine celebrated the event with a list of Hollywood's 10 best breakfast scenes. Why do most Americans eat pancakes only for breakfast?
Because bread is better. Pancakes used to be anytime food in the United States. Around the time of the American Revolution, it was traditional to serve pancakes during dinner - the largest meal of the day, consumed in the early afternoon. But those pancakes were thin, like the French crepe or the Swedish pannkakor, which are still enjoyed at all times of day. In the 1780s, American cooks started adding the chemical leavener pearl ash to their pancake batter. The rising agent transformed the delicate, crepe-like rounds suitable for sopping up the remnants of a meat stew into thick, fluffy, satiating fare, perfect for a filling breakfast. Griddle cakes also had the benefit of speed. While yeast required hours to leaven a dough, chemical agents could produce a thick cake in minutes, enabling frontier cooks to have a bread equivalent on the table before morning farm work began. Scattered advocates notwithstanding, the thicker pancakes never caught on as dinner food. Cooks had hours to prepare the day's showpiece meal, and colonials preferred yeast leavening to the off-flavor that chemical leavening produced. Even today, people who aren't used to baking soda say that chemically leavened baked goods have a soapy taste.
Note that Tuesday was National Pancake Day, not International Pancake Day, even though it's the brainchild of the International House of Pancakes. That's not an oversight. On the day before Lent begins - when New Orleans erupts for Mardi Gras - many British Commonwealth countries celebrate Shrove Tuesday, also known as pancake day. The tradition helps households use up perishable and Lenten-unfriendly foods like milk and eggs. Hold that "happy pancake day" call to your British friends until next week.

90 is Just a Number for Whipple Surgery
At 90, Gus Snare became the oldest patient ever to undergo the Whipple procedure at the University of Chicago medical center. Our experts have found that older patients like Snare who are independent and healthy can recover from complex operations like the Whipple procedure. "As a geriatrician, I don't think about chronological age, but rather physiological age," said William Dale, MD, PhD, co-director of the Specialized Oncology Care & Research in the Elderly (SOCARE) clinic.
Bladder Cancer
Getting Back to Life After Reconstructive Bladder Cancer Surgery
After learning that bladder cancer surgery involved removal of her bladder, Jackie Nalls consulted with Gary Steinberg, MD, an expert in urinary tract reconstruction. Steinberg created a new bladder from a portion of Nalls' small intestine, enabling her to live without an external bag to collect urine. The 54-year-old artist has become an advocate for women with bladder cancer. "After I recovered, I felt so blessed," Nalls said. "I wanted to help."
Breast Cancer
Imagine Curing Breast Cancer
Sensitized to her familial risk of cancer by watching her mother succumb to the disease at 39 and the knowledge that her grandmother had died of it at 44, Michelle McBride underwent a test in 2006 that found a particular genetic mutation. After an arduous journey, she made the decision to have her breasts and ovaries removed, and turned to the University of Chicago Medicine for care.
Breast Cancer Team Combines Quality of Life With Quality Treatment
At age 20, Eloise Orr was diagnosed with breast cancer, the same disease that her mother died from at age 35. Over several years, Orr battled recurrent breast cancer and brain tumors, but was determined to not let cancer prevent her from achieving her dreams. "We tailored an entire regimen around her plans so this [treatment] wouldn't be an obstacle in her life fulfillment," said David Song, MD.

"I know that I would not be here today if it were not for the skill and expertise of Olufunmilayo Olopade, MD, and the other specialists and nurses at the University of Chicago medical center," says Mertz.

Cervical Cancer
Fertility Specialists Aid Mother's Gift: Carrying her Daughter's Child
When Emily Jordan was diagnosed with cervical cancer, her best option for recovery was a radical hysterectomy. For a young woman set on having children, this was devastating news. But with the help of medical center physicians and her mother -- who offered to serve as a gestational carrier -- Emily and her husband, Mike, are looking toward a bright future for their daughter.
Colon and Rectal Cancer
Woman Chooses Laparoscopic Surgery for Effective Colon Cancer Treatment
Using his own hand-drawn illustrations, Konstantin Umanskiy, MD, helped Mary Shedd understand why minimally invasive surgery was the best treatment option to help her beat colon cancer. Umanskiy performed a laparoscopic lower anterior bowel resection--an alternative to open abdominal surgery--to remove the cancerous tissue from Shedd's colon. Following the procedure, she experienced no complications, a quick recovery, and minimal scarring.
Celebrating New Life After Cancer
Soon after Michelle Jahnke learned she was pregnant with her first child, doctors discovered the 30-year-old had stage 3 rectal cancer. Other physicians told Jahnke she needed to terminate the pregnancy because her unborn child would not survive the surgery and radiation therapy needed to treat the cancer. But with the help of seven UChicago Medicine specialists, Jahnke beat cancer and delivered a healthy baby girl.
Esophageal Cancer
Man Avoids Losing Esophagus to Cancer
When Tom Flint's Barrett's esophagus condition deteriorated into cancer, doctors at another hospital told him he had only one option--removal of the esophagus. Before considering such life-altering surgery, Tom turned to University of Chicago experts who used advanced minimally invasive techniques to treat the cancer and spare his esophagus.
Esophageal and Pancreatic Cancer

Support your blood sugar, A1C, and cholesterol with this clinical breakthrough phytonutrient
Berberine Blood Sugar Vitamin & Supplement
Item# BER
My tried-and-true classic for healthy blood sugar, A1C and cholesterol levels!
My original Berberine formula is where it all started—the tried and-true classic I've been using successfully with hundreds of my patients—some of the most health-savvy and discerning consumers around. So it's no surprise how many letters and emails of appreciation and gratitude I get at the Whitaker Wellness Institute, nearly every day still, months after Berberine debuted.
The plant alkaloid berberine, revered in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine but largely ignored elsewhere until very recently, has now become one of my most powerful natural therapies for supporting healthy blood sugar.
All in all, Berberine helps support:
- Normal blood sugar levels
- Proper A1C levels
- Insulin sensitivity
- Healthy total and LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides
"Berberine has turned my life around. As a pharmacist, I believe everyone should know about this. Berberine and diet have given me a new life."*
— D.T. Owensboro, KY
Proven blood sugar benefits!
The latest research is compelling. A 12-week clinical study showed that Berberine is effective at improving blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C levels. What's more, research shows that Berberine also supports healthy blood lipid levels! And since we've started using it as a blood sugar remedy with our patients, the results have been astounding. I am convinced that this is one of the biggest blood sugar breakthroughs in recent years.Read more about the two-part study and the origin of berberine here.
My Berberine gives you the full research dose
With Berberine, most people see an improvement in fasting glucose after about two weeks. Everyone is different, however, so stick with my recommended daily dose of 1,500 mg, and I fully expect you'll see significant improvements in your blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
I urge you to join the many, many others whose blood sugar, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride numbers have been dramatically affected—thanks to Berberine!

Scientific Support
The two-part study showed that 1,500 mg of berberine daily achieved significant improvement in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, along with hemoglobin A1C levels. A second double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 110 participants not only backed up the results from the previous study, but showed even more benefits of berberine, including a full 25% decline in both total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, as well as lower triglyceride levels.1
That's because Berberineworks by targeting an ancient regulator of metabolism, the activated protein kinase (AMPK) enzyme. AMPK regulates glucose uptake by your cells and the synthesis of glucose transporters—which helps move glucose out of your blood and into your cells, where it belongs. Berberine may also increase the number and activity of the insulin receptors on your cells, promoting insulin sensitivity. On top of that, AMPK facilitates the burning of fatty acids in your cells, which is why it's a powerful tool for helping keep blood lipid levels in check.
Where does this amazing phytonutrient come from and where has it been all these years?
Berberine is a plant alkaloid, a naturally occurring chemical compound found in herbs such as goldenseal, Oregon grape, barberry, and goldthread. While you may be able to find berberine in a few supplements here and there, it's rare and unlikely you'll find the dose proven to impact your blood sugar levels—which means a lot of folks are missing out on the most powerful benefits.
That changes with my Berberineformula, as it gives you the full research dose of 1,500 mg, shown to support blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. And since the AMPK enzyme is such a critical piece of the metabolic process, the benefits of Berberine are continuing to emerge; already there are suggestions that it can help with blood pressure, healthy weight, advanced immune function, and more.

A word from Esca
Esca is a Southern Italian Seafood Restaurant created by Mario Batali, Joseph Bastianich & David Pasternack. Esca showcases the style & sensibility of Italian coastal cooking. Dave went to Italy & saw firsthand what they were talking about. After years of cooking French food, Dave had finally found
the food he had always wanted to cook. The best fish available, prepared in a simple & delicious way. In Italy that means the local catch, but in New York that means the best fish of the Pacific, Mediterranean & our own backyard.
At Esca you can eat the most sought after Pacific Ocean delicacies along side Fluke that Dave caught on his day off. The menu changes daily & is driven by the fish markets of the world & the farms of Dave's friends. Esca is the place where you can have stunning raw fish, an incredible bowl of pasta & then a Mediterranean Branzino cooked in sea salt. Esca is the best of Italian coastal cooking with access to the world's greatest fish.

Diner Reviews
a pre-theater gastronomic
catastrophe. Thick, unappetizing crudos (scorpionfish, ceviche with inedible conch and clam; black bass, in fairness, was good). Linguine and clams with so much brine one felt like one was swallowing ocean water. Companion's grilled octopus looked like a Jules Verne nightmare. Sorry, not a fun experience, and certainly not worthy of a Batali moniker."

My wife and I walked away very
disappointed, and just thought that everything was just ok. The service was very disappointing, as we were constantly being told that this was one of the top seafood restaurants in the country and we were belittled when we asked questions about how things were prepared. The food was just ok. We ordered Linguine to share for the first course, and it was very good. My wife had the Branzino and I Red Snapper. It was ok, but we have had better and many other restaurants. We ordered a side of Broccoli Rabe with our main course, which may have been the worst thing I have ever had to eat. I couldn't tell if it was pickled or just poorly cooked. Dessert was good. Overall, it was disappointing and just ok."
Dined on 2/23/2014
Let me start by saying the food
was incredible and worth the expensive price point. This review is about my experience with the service I received. Again, the food was amazing. When we were seated at 5:45, our waiter asked us if there was a show we were going to and when we needed to be out by. We said yes, we needed to leave by 7pm. Then we were ignored, left alone for long periods of time unable to flag down our waiter. (Note that that other staff was very attentive, just not our waiter) The couple next to us who arrived after received their food before us. When we managed to track down our waiter, he told us ours was "next out!" and then we saw him bring 2 more tables their food. Very disappointing service by an expensive restaurant."

This gem close to the theatre
district is an Italian fish lover's dream. From the sparkling fresh crudo, to the inventive pastas and the fresh off the boat fish, the quality of Chef Pasternak's food is superb. Added to that are the always professional staff and the treasure trove of fine Italian wines."

Because the restaurant week menu
was only $25, the fish main course was not great. The butterfish are small and very thin and very mild tasting so it was difficult to prepare so many servings and keep them from being a bit dry and not very tasty. The first course of crudo was delicious. We needed to order a vegetable side dish in order to have enough food to satisfy the hunger level. The pana cotta dessert was perfect and delicious"
Dined on 3/7/2014
The food was really delicious, the
portions were a good size for lunch and it felt festive and fun to be there! Thanks Esca! I had the grilled calamari appetizer; it was tender and flavorful. My main dish was pasta shells with seafood - another perfectly seasoned dish with slightly al dente pasta - yum! Dessert was light and airy lemon panna cota. I'm not too fussy about service and the waiter was genial - our appetizers were reversed which is a little unusual for a fancy restaurant - so this may be not be the place for people who look for perfect service."

I was there for lunch during
restaurant week. I had the fried smelts and pan fried butter fish which turned out to be a poor selection. I did not realize that they were both coated in batter and that thre butter fish was a whole fish -- head to tail -- and full of small bones which I found to be very difficult to remove . My dining companion had misto salad and the whiting both of which were excellent. The desert was unbelievable -- panna cotta. Best desert I ever had. The wine pairings were perfect. Will definitely go back to try other choices on the regular menu."

The soup was good but fishy. The entre was quill pasta with clams in a tomato sauce. It was good but a little too spicy for me. The dessert was spectacular. I could have eaten three portions.

Tiny room serving Italianesque
bistro seafood. Great ingredients, well prepared and presented. One needs to order wisely here, as preparations are not always what they might seem, so it's wise to rely on waitstaff recommendations. Note that some of the seafood entrees are simply fish served with nothing else, so one needs to order starches and vegetables separately. Those "side" offerings are a bit odd - mostly bitter greens like braised escarole. A bit more variety here would be helpful. Don't expect fine food from the postage-stamp sized kitchen -- this is bistro fare. It's tiny and incredibly loud making conversation difficult and private discourse impossible. Neither the best food, room, or service in town, but I keep coming back."

The assorted crudo was superb.
Fresh pasta with crab and sea urchin was a maritime tour de force. This is just the sort of place that makes New York a great restaurant city. The only trouble was service and timing with drinks. The crudo arrived while we were still sipping (delicious) house cocktails. We ordered wine with the pasta, but it arrived only after we were almost done. Enjoying wine with both dishes would have made them even better."

The raw oysters were fresh and briny, and the house-pickled vegetables accompanying the shad row were exceptionally tasty. We shared a whole monkfish, perfectly prepared and fileted in the dining room. The dessert menu included classics and unique items, such as the semolina pudding we shared: a ring of firm semolina (similar to cooled polenta) filled with caramel sauce and garnished with orange marmalade and chopped kumquats. We found the noise level a little high, but we were seated in a relatively sheltered corner that helped contain it."

These people in Esca really know
how should we treat the freshest seafood! Love the raw seafood~ the grill squid is also good. like the decoration and environment, bright and elegant."

Neither plate was up to par. The
Buccatini was dry and tasteless. The fish stew must have used flying fish as there were 3 clams, 2 mussels, a number of olives, and a few chucks of fish. Not up to par as to what we expect from Esca! The hat check girl is the best thing the restaurant has to offer! And, the maitre d' is dynamite!"

went for rest week: calamari
intrepretation: lovely tuna: tough not hot on outside and mos def not prepared well. server was obsequicious . waiter had to be reminded to bring guests drink. timing in bringing food was off. restaurant was not that busy. the three wine tastes were first rate."

This restaurant is slightly more
expensive than many around it but it proved it's worth. A very nice and reasonably priced prossecco accompanied our fish dishes with an Italian theme. Everything is 'just' cooked which makes for tender, flavoursome dishes and showed how much I overcook fish at home. The portions were moderate, but proved the right amount. I was also impressed with the service. Unlike many restaurants where a tip is forced upon you, I actually think it was well deserved here. Not overly attentive but enough to keep everything running smoothly. This is a restaurant I would make an effort to return to."

This restaurant has all the
INGREDIENTS in just the right PROPORTIONS! Fancy - not stuffy; quiet - not oppressive; wines are excellent with many choices that are affordable; knowledgable staff who make you feel comfortable - gracious but friendly and relaxed. The preparation of everyone of the dishes I had tried is perfect - simple seasonings that just enhance the flavors of the freshest of fish and produce and don't cover up the main event! By the way - the cookbook is a must have! I use it whenever making fish (which is 3-4 times/week). Dave is THE BEST!"

Esca is a wonder: the fabulous
food, the gracious service, the comfortable and elegant rooms. It's a fish restaurant, yes, but even if you don't care for fish you should try Esca: if could change your mind. Wonderful!"

It was my first dining during
restaurant week 2014 and it was just great experience. I never really liked seafood but their whole fish (porgy) was soft and fragrant and the bass was very well balanced with the vegetables. Italian bread was so yummy and really liked they kept our table clean."
Dined on 2/17/2014
Two of us had a sampling of
oysters, simply wonderful. Another had the crudo tasting, she said each one was a little taste of heaven. The three of us shared two pastas that were both excellent, then we had the fresh catch that day, a fish we could share, expertly taken off the bone for us and simply presented. Each bite was worth savoring. We even finished by sharing a dessert that was as special as the rest of the meal. I don't think I'll wait another 4 years before I go back."

The LOS Wave Two Report, Part I has highlighted the dynamic nature of the population with impairment. Rather than considering the characteristics and experiences of disabled people at one point in time, the LOS longitudinal data allow the examination of changes associated with impairment onset and offset, as well as changes over time for those who have continually experienced impairments.
In general, analyses in this report have shown similarities between the onset-acquired and offset adults in terms of the impairments and severity of these impairments they had reported, as well as their economic activity status and income over the two waves. Analyses of participation restriction revealed that onset-acquired adults and offset adults reported different experiences in terms of changes in the barriers they faced at Wave One and Wave Two. The contrast between onset-acquired adults and offset adults on the one hand, and adults with impairments at both waves on the other, are discussed in the following sections. The chapter will conclude with a discussion about Wave Three and the future direction of the LOS.
The four most commonly-reported impairment types were identical across adults with impairment at both waves, onset-acquired adults, and offset adults. These four impairment types were long-term pain, chronic health condition, mobility impairment and dexterity impairment. This finding suggests that these four impairments are the most widely experienced by the general population1, and therefore the likelihood of acquiring any of these conditions by the onset-acquired group at Wave Two was also high. Additionally, most of the adults who have offset from impairment had previously reported these impairments at Wave One. However, the offset rates by impairment types, which indicate the probability of offsetting from a particular impairment at Wave Two, showed that dexterity and mobility impairments were among those impairments with the lowest offset rates (see section 3.3, Table 3.7).
As illustrated by analyses of the changes of impairment type reported by adults with impairments at both waves (see section 2.3), it is important to bear in mind the dynamic nature of this group in terms of the impairments experienced between the two waves. Specifically, it was clear from the onset rates and offset rates (Tables 2.9 and 2.10) that a substantial proportion of adults with impairments at both waves were reporting new impairments at Wave Two that had not previously been reported at Wave One, and/or were no longer reporting impairments at Wave Two that were previously reported at Wave One.
Most onset-acquired adults and offset adults reported one impairment (at Wave Two and Wave One respectively), with a lower percentage reporting three or more impairments. These findings make intuitive sense as it is unlikely for an individual with no impairments at Wave One to acquire a large number of impairments over the period of one year (the time between Wave One and Wave Two). Conversely, those who have offset from impairment (having at least one impairment at Wave One to no impairments at all at Wave Two), would be more likely to be classified in this group if cessation of only one impairment was required, rather than three or more.
In contrast, those with impairments at both waves showed that around half of the group reported three or more impairments at Wave Two. The higher proportion of this group reporting two, or three or more impairments meant that it was less likely for these adults to be offset from impairment entirely.
Severity ratings for the four most commonly-reported impairments also showed a similar pattern for onset-acquired and offset adults. For all four impairments, most adults in these two groups reported moderate level of difficulty, and rated the frequency of limitations posed by these impairments as "sometimes". These findings suggest that recently acquired impairments tend to be less severe, and implies that the onset of impairment experienced, in terms of severity, maybe gradual. For the offset adults, the results suggest that having less severe impairments at Wave One led to impairment offset at Wave Two.
The gradual onset of impairments can be seen in the number of adults reporting mild difficulty for an impairment at Wave One, who subsequently reported more severe difficulty at Wave Two and therefore were classified as onset-acquired for that impairment. (Based on the LOS definition, an adult is classified as having a particular impairment if the difficulty experienced is more than "mild"). This was particularly evident for long-term pain and chronic health condition. On the other hand, using the LOS definition, an adult could be classified as offsetting from an impairment if the level of difficulty rated for that impairment changed from more severe levels to "mild". This was observed for a proportion of offset adults who reported chronic health condition and sight impairment at Wave One.
In contrast, adults with impairments at both waves had higher severity ratings for the four most commonly-reported impairment types than seen in the onset-acquired adults and adults who have offset from impairment. Compared with onset-acquired and offset adults, a higher percentage of adults with impairments at both waves rated the level of difficulty experienced for the impairment as "severe" or higher, and the frequency of limitation as "always".
In Chapters 3 and 4, the onset rates for onset-acquired adults and the offset rates of offset adults were examined across a selection of demographic characteristics. Onset rates were found to vary across age groups, with older adults more likely than younger adults to report an impairment at Wave Two. The situation was reversed for offset rates, where the likelihood of offsetting completely from impairments was higher for younger than older adults.
Similar patterns of onset and offset rate variations within a demographic characteristic could be seen in the highest qualifications attained, and its related characteristic, socio-economic classification (based on occupation). Onset rates were found to decrease with higher levels of qualification. On the other hand, offset rates tended to increase with higher levels of qualifications. These findings conform with existing evidence of a relationship between good general health and higher levels of education.
The similarity between onset-acquired and offset adults, and their distinction from adults with impairments at both waves, were again seen in their economic activity status1 and income distributions. Most onset-acquired and offset adults were found to be employed at both waves, with a smaller proportion being economically inactive at both waves. These groups could be contrasted with adults with impairment at both waves, where a lower proportion of the group were employed at both waves, and a larger proportion were economically inactive at both waves.
Onset-acquired and offset adults showed similar income distributions, with around 35 per cent of working age (16-64) adults in both groups on an income of £200 or less per week at each wave. A higher percentage of working age adults with impairment at both waves (around 50 per cent)had an income of £200 or less per week. These findings are consistent with the economic activity data which showed that a greater proportion of the onset-acquired and offset adults, than adults with impairments at both waves, were in employment at both waves.
Overall, there has been a large degree of stability across the two waves in both economic activity status and income distributions for all groups examined in this report. The lack of change could partly be due to the short gap (of one year) between the two waves. Wave Three of the LOS will revisit respondents after a gap of two years. More substantial changes may be apparent when data from Wave Two and Wave Three are compared.
For all adults who had reported at least one impairment at one or both waves of the LOS, the most commonly-cited life areas in which a barrier was experienced were transport and leisure activities. Adults with impairment at both waves, compared with onset-acquired and offset adults, were more likely to report a barrier in the life area of work.
Overall, the findings relating to changes in the number of life areas in which a barrier was experienced are consistent with the notion that the existence of impairment is associated with participation restriction. For onset-acquired adults, the average number of life areas in which barriers were experienced at Wave Two had increased from Wave One, whereas for offset adults, this figure had decreased from Wave One to Wave Two. There has been little change between waves in the average number of life areas where barriers were experienced for adults with impairment at both waves. Furthermore, across six of the eight life areas, a higher percentage of onset-acquired adults experienced a barrier at Wave One than at Wave Two. In contrast, across seven of the eight life areas, the percentage of offset adults experiencing a barrier decreased between Wave One and Wave Two.
Data from Wave Three of the LOS will further our understanding of the dynamic nature of the population with impairment over a longer period of time. It will help us understand the movements in and out of impairment. It will allow us to explore whether or not the onset-acquired adults continue to experience impairment and how the severity of these impairments changes; also whether adults who experienced an offset of impairment remain without impairment or whether they will move back into impairment.
Evidence from Australia has shown that over a five year period 38 per cent of the overall population fluctuated between the disabled and non-disabled populations1.
However, it is important to note at this juncture that the population covered by the LOS form a very diverse group with respect to the impairments they report and the severity of those impairments, and a simple picture that covers all impairments is unlikely to appear. This diversity, and the dynamic nature of impairments experienced mean that personal perception is also likely to play a key role in how impairments are reported. Earlier research found that only 48 per cent of disabled people actually consider themselves to be disabled2.
We also note that this report has not examined the specific barriers experienced by adults at Wave One and Two, or any changes in the reasons causing the barrier. Similarly, analyses on reasons why changes have occurred in the types of impairments reported between waves, and the effect of these changes on the experience of barriers have not been explored in this report. The LOS Wave Three questionnaire will look at the reasons why respondents experience changes in their impairments and/or participation restrictions.
Findings from the LOS should further be considered in conjunction with research from the wider field of disability, and together these could help identify successful interventions and the effectiveness of these interventions in terms of people's perception about their impairment and the barriers experienced.
The LOS Wave Two Report, Part II, is planned for publication in 2013. The report will provide prevalence estimates of people experiencing impairments at Wave Two, as well as prevalence estimates of impairment types at Wave Two. The report will also include further longitudinal analyses on participation restrictions, and changes experienced by those adults who did not report any impairments at both Wave One and Wave Two.

Press Review: "Naragansett's "Tribal Love-Rock Festival" of the twenty fifth attracted a typical Boston Tea Party crowd, with a hardly subtle difference in order of magnitude. The Led Zeppelin propelled itself onto the Boston Garden stage to confront sixteen housand colourfully-attired high school and college aboriginals - a total of thirty-two thousand dilated pupils, all eagerly trained upon the massive loth-fronted bank of amplifiers that was 'to produce the capper of an evening of northern-fried schmaltz rock and mini-riots.
They sped rather rapidly through their early material in group effort, combining "Communication Breakdown" and "Good Times, Bad Times" into a medley. At this point, group feeling began to flag, and the spotlight turned mainly to Page, although towards the end of the performance Plant (lead vocal) began to play vocal catch with Page's riffs.
The Zeppelin performance really had two climaxes, one of them faultless. The first was Page's rendition of "White Summer", a very lengthy medley of both Zeppelin and (Johnny) Winters-like patterns, connected at times rather faultily with semi-classical phrases.
The second climax was the well-deserved solo of Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, who contrived to enrapture the audience with rythm while entirely avoiding any imitation of Baker's "Toad", which is no small feat of willpower." - G.Berk, October 1969

Boston Garden - October 25, 1969
I've told and retold a countless number of times stories of this concert. I was 12 years old - my first concert (my second concert was the Doors - same venue) - and what a concert it was. I was second row, center - courtesy of a friend of the family's. Of course, the concert was made even better by the shear amount of smoke in the Garden. It shaped my musical tastes for the rest of my life. I'm still a huge fan and so are my children - and I'm 52 years old this year. My kids are 19, 20 and 25 - they know pretty much all of Led Zep's music - you can still hear it being played in my house - So, all of these years later - are they going to tour again???? Please, say yes!

Svetlana Belenkin ( Israel )
Presently, when the person lives in a condition of constant stress, painting can become some kind of psychotherapy... The basic concept of my painting - is value of a life, as is, without conditions.. . The most valuable in a life is a life..., possibility to live: to wake up in the morning and to see the sun and the sky, a grass and flowers, the sea, a rain, birds.. Both painting can give to the artist, and the spectator of a few optimism and the sun, to learn to rejoice anew lives... We live in one world and are impregnated with the world global energy. It gives us life, love, advance. Artists united by desire to give to people beauty, to teach to love it and to love life have to try to unite at least for exhibitions. Therefore I with all the heart welcome all collaboration exhibition. Belenkin Svetlana. Belenkin Svetlana was born in Odessa. Study of painting from childhood : beginning from painting school, then painting study and master classes in Odessa Grekov Fine Art College. She works in figurative genre in expressionism style with oil, acrylic and other technics. Now she lives in Israel. Participates in group exhibitions in different countries and Israel cities. Represented her works on some personal exhibitions. Last personal exhibition "Women and their imaginations " was very successful. She is member of the union of artists of Israel. Belenkin Svetlana was participated in the London Art Biennale 2013 that was take place from Wednesday the 23rd to Saturday the 26th of January 2013 at the Chelsea Old Town Hall. It was great success for the artist. The London Biennale 2013 is an exciting museum quality exhibition that promises to shed light on contemporary art from different cultures and continents - a must see exhibition that allows for the comparison of different ideas, thoughts and beliefs expressed in the one form, art. With over 130 artists from all over the globe specially selected by international museum and gallery professionals - artworks from China to Brazil and from the USA to Iran- to be involved in the exhibition, it's hard not to draw comparisons between the different beliefs and cultures that express themselves in these pieces.
Next International exhibition, where Svetlana participated, is VENEZIA PROJECT 2013", which organized at the same period of " 55 Biennale d'arte di Venezia" . This is opportunity to exhibit works and to meet artists of different nationality, schools and styles but with a common desire to show and to propose to an interested audience their work. . An event that has proposed until today a wide variety of contemporary art and presented to the public over 350 artists from around the world.

WAS the best jeans ever, not anymore Ive been buying these jeans for years because the quality has been excellent!!!!!. Im 26 and a hard working man. I do put these jeans to the test and they have always past with flying colors. Except last week when I went to pick up a new pair I noticed that the fit was good but the fabric was VERY thin, and seemed cheap. Not what I was expecting for a 40+ dollar jeans from buckle. Ive had these jeans for a week and I can tell they probably wont make it fast 4 months. I even compared the jeans to an identical pair and could easily feel the difference in fabric. This makes me feel like ive been cheated from the store that I give my business and loyalty too. Now hopefully it was just that batch of jeans and not the entire line, because if it IS the entire line than I will have to say goodbye to buckle. Hopefully this can be fixed September 24, 2013
