A transaction level study of the effects of central bank intervention on exchange rates
We study the effects of sterilised intervention operations executed on behalf of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) using tick-by-tick transactions data between 1986 and 1995. We extend the preliminary results obtained by Fischer and Zurlinden (1991) by matching these data with intra-day indicative exchange rate quotes. Via an event study analysis we examine the effects of intervention on exchange rate returns and volatility. We find that intervention has important short-run effects on the level of exchanges rates. There are also significant intra-day effects of intervention on exchange rate volatility. All of these effects are in line with theoretical predictions and it is shown that the impact on the exchange rate level is stronger when intervention is with the market rather than when it is again the wind. Finally, we find that the market partially anticipates the ¶information¶ contained in interventions as the exchange rate reacts in the 15 minute interval immediately before an event.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
This blend of the five noble Bordeaux varietals is deep, rich and concentrated. Initial aromas of blackberry, plum and black pepper arise from the glass. On the palate, the wine has wonderful texture and length. Cassis and plum mingle with the toasty oak nuances and vanilla characters creating a harmonious blend. The finish is long and sophisticated with the tannin structure playing a pivotal role in the wine's balance and finesse.
Blend: 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 14% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot

Is it possible to do liposuction of the chin/neck area/jawline by itself? Is this done under general anesthesia or sedation? How much does it cost? Do you think I would get good results without having a chin implant? I know my chin is recessed but I am scared to have an implant after reading the blogs on this site.
Liposuction of Chin/neck Area. Is it Done Under General Anesthesia? What Do You Recommend? (photo)
Doctor Answers (9)
Upper neck liposuction and Chin augmentation are outpatient procedures typically done in the plastic surgeon's office or in a surgery center. It is usually done under local anesthesia with oral sedation or intravenous sedation, but can be done under general anesthesia if requested. Your photos are inadequate to tell if both need to be performed and I suggest you see a board certified plastic surgeon for best advice.
Web reference: https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/chin-augmentation/
Great question. I would recommend chin and neck liposuction as a first step. If you are afraid of a chin implant, I would recommend Radiesse facial fillers for non surgical chin augmentaiton.
Web reference: http://www.surgery90210.com/face/53/chin-and-neck-lipo.aspx
The only setting in which I currently use a solid facial implant is for chin implant augmentation. Some patients with a 'weak' chin profile can be adequately improved by structural fat grafting alone. However, when the chin protrusion needs to be enhanced by a half centimeter or more, a chin implant is absolutely required. I prefer to use a soft, flexible, anatomic chin implant that conservatively enhances the anterior projection of the chin in profile. The chin implant is placed through an incision hidden underneath the chin, an area where many people already have a scar from a fall in childhood.
Moderate enhancement of chin projection in appropriate patients can dramatically enhance the profile, in a manner that is completely natural-appearing. It is remarkable how increasing chin prominence in some patients will reduce the apparent prominence of the nose, and restore an overall sense of harmony and balance to facial features.
Liposuction, as you may have heard in the popular media, is the most commonly performed surgical procedure each year in the United States. Here's a statistic that you may not have heard: the majority of physicians performing liposuction in the United States are not plastic surgeons; in fact, many do not have any formal surgical training whatsoever. It seems hard to believe, but many physicians performing liposuction have had no more training in liposuction than a 'weekend course'. One way to determine whether or not a physician has had appropriate training in a particular surgery is to confirm that they have hospital privileges for that procedure.
I fear that some practitioners view liposuction as a 'simple' surgery, since it does not involve making large incisions, and it requires little, if any, suturing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Liposuction, in my mind, is a very challenging operation that requires careful planning and preparation, and a great deal of care and finesse when it is actually performed. It requires a three-dimensional understanding of the layers of human anatomy, an understanding that is second nature to a surgeon alone. I think that it is often an inadequate understanding of anatomy (and, perhaps, of the body's response to surgery) which leads to the poor results in liposuction and body contouring that unfortunately are so often seen.
When performed expertly, on an ideal candidate, neck liposuction can transform the face, making a person look years younger and often much lighter. Some individuals have 'sagging' necks primarily due to fat accumulation below the jawbone (mandible). In some cases, liposuction alone can significantly improve the neck appearance. Liposuction is also frequently combined with surgical neck rejuvenation, and in selected cases some direct excision of fat (through a hidden incision below the chin) is performed. The reduction of fat in the area below the jawline and in the anterior neck almost always makes the neck appear longer, and makes the patient's profile appear more elegant or refined.

A retrusive chin is always best treated with a chin implant and enhanced with neck work. Neck fat can be removed with simple liposuction. However, a more controlled operation with better results is a neck lift. A neck lift is typically performed on patients less than 50 years of age who do not have any jowling. When jowling is present, a lower face/neck lift is performed to raise the jowls and tighten the platysmal muscle, and take the fat out of the neck.
Chin liposuction is typically performed under IV sedation with great success. I have two concerns about liposuction alone based on your photos. The first is that liposuction will remove fatty tissue but there is a good chance that your neck skin will not tighten enough to give you the nice neckline that you desire. Second, you will not achieve the profile improvement that you're seeking without also augmenting your chin with either a chin implant or filler injection. You would probably see moderate improvement with liposuction. However, your home run option would be a lower face and necklift with a chin implant. I hope this information is helpful.
Stephen Weber MD, FACS

I prefer IV sedation and local anesthesia for improving problems such as yours. A chin implant added to neck liposuction and possible platysmaplsty would give a very dramatic improvement . In the 40 years I have been using chin implants , I have never had a major problem and the minor ones were all correctible. Please send me the refernce for the blogs that frighten you so much.
Hello, in reviewing your photos I would recommend a combination of procedures. You will need submental liposuction as well as liposuction of your jaw and a chin implant. It is also going to be necessary to have a neck lift. If you only have the liposuction of your neck and jaw you may be trading one problem for the next (loose skin), which in my opinion is worse.These procedures can be done under local and IV sedation or general anesthesia. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. Good luck to you.
Photos posted are slightly helpful. In that regard I would recommend in person evaluations in your city. But I think you need a neck lift, sub mental lipectomy and chin implant. Smart Lipo + lipo of the next, jawline would not treat the excess skin and hypo plastic jaw.
There is no good reason to perform this procedure under general anesthesia. While general anesthesia is generally considered "safe." It is not as safe as not having general anesthesia. The lower face and neck can be numbed and liposuction can be performed in an office procedure room. Generally for the placement of a chin implant, iv sedation is preferred. Another excellent option for your chin is Perlane filler as an alternative to a chin implant or a chin advancement.

***Just add http://www. in front of the address***
Defogging the windshield of a car would seem like a simple enough task, since most modern automobiles come with a 'defroster/defogger'* installed. But the truth is, it's quite difficult for most people to achieve a clear windshield because they don't understand why or how condensation forms on a windshield.
Your windows can get steamy for two different (but related) reasons:
* It's too hot and humid inside the automobile, and so water particles accumulate on the inside of the windows, upon the relatively cool surface of the glass. This is what happens when you park the car at night to, um, talk with your passenger(s). The windows 'steam' up because water vapor which has escaped from your lungs due to your, um, breathing, is trapped in the hot, stagnant confines of your car's interior.
* It's too hot and humid outside the automobile, and you have your air conditioning (or 'defroster')* running at a very cold temperature. In this instance, the water vapor is accumulating on the outside of the glass, because the interior of your car is very cool, relative to the outside temperature. Water vapor condenses on cold surfaces.
These are two distinct problems, but you can use your defroster, or any fan directed at the windshield, to accomplish windshield clarity, as I will describe. It is amazing (to me) that proper defogging techniques are not taught in driver's education classes (or at least, they were not taught to me), because not everybody understands the physics involved. I, admittedly, only understand a little bit about it, but I have developed a system for defrosting a windshield properly, efficiently, and effortlessly. And I share it below. But remember, if your windshield is compromising your view of the road, pull over to solve this problem -- do not attempt to solve the problem while also driving. That could be dangerous.
One common mistake in windshield-defogging is the belief that there is something wrong with the windshield defroster. There's not. The problem is you. I'm sorry, but I'm just being honest. You turn it on at full blast set for the coldest temperature (or the hottest temperature), and then get all pissed off when, after about thirty seconds of blissfully clear glass, you are dismayed at new formations of condensate. You give up, thinking your defroster is not working. But you just didn't give it the right instructions, that's all.
The first line of defense should always be fresh air. Very often, fresh air, either let in through the windows or the vents, can eliminate condensation without the need for a 'formal' defrosting process. But sometimes this won't work; if it's raining; if you're particularly sweaty; if it's particularly humid outside; or if it's too cold outside to roll down the windows.
In the event that fresh air does not work, (and for both scenarios above), you must attempt to minimize the difference in temperature between the two sides of the glass. Follow this process:
Turn on your car's defroster (and if that does not automatically engage the air conditioning, if you have one, turn on the air conditioning too). This applies in any weather. The 'air conditioning' involves a dehumidifying process which is very helpful at windshield defrosting. If you don't have air conditioning, but rather, just a fan vent pointed at the windshield, turn that on instead.
Now, the most important step: Find the right temperature! If it's hot outside, start with the temperature adjusted to the hottest setting until all of the fog disappears from the glass. Then, slowly begin moving it to colder and colder settings until you see the first hint of frost beginning to form on the windshield again. Immediately turn the temperature back ever-so-slightly warmer, and you should have found the equilibrium point. If it's cold outside, you'll want to do the opposite: Start with the temperature as cold as possible until all of the frost disappears, and then immediately begin adjusting the temperature warmer and warmer, until the first signs of condensation reappear.[quote]
***I also found another site on how you can help clean your windshield from fogging up.***
[quote] ehow.com/how_10042_make-own-anti.html
***Again just add http://www. in the beginning***
You can make an inexpensive anti-fog glass spray to keep your bathroom mirrors and the inside of your car's windshield fog-free. This solution keeps condensation from collecting on these surfaces.
1 Pour 2 ounces of white vinegar in a medium sized bowl.
2 Add 1 quart hot water.
3 Dip a clean, lint-free cloth into mixture.
4 Lightly wring out cloth.
5 Wipe mirrors and the inside of car windshields with cloth.
6 Allow to dry.[quote]

PREVIEW In strictly literal terms, the Tallest Man on Earth's Kristian Mattson is not the tallest man on the globe. He is probably the Best Bob Dylanesque Tall Dude on Earth, and also perhaps the Tallest New Swedish Musical Talent on Earth, but I suppose those monikers wouldn't have quite the same ring. Along with no-nonsense yet playful songwriting chops, one of the things I find most fetching about his debut album Shallow Grave (Gravitation, 2008) is its direct zest. Mattson fingerpicks melodies with sprinter's speed but never loses a nimble grace. The Tallest Man on Earth toured the U.S. with the equally austere Bon Iver recently, but I have to say I prefer Mattsson's energetic acoustic spirit to the comparative mope of Bon Iver leader Justin Vernon. Shallow Grave's gloomy title is a bit misleading on one of its signature tunes, "I Won't Be Found," the underground dwelling is a quite lively mole hole.
The keening nasality of Mattson's vocals are his most overt link to the Dylan tradition. His songs traverse comparatively narrow territory though, bypassing societal commentary for explorations of emotion and more intimate human relationships. In lesser hands, such intent yields forgettable schmaltz or worse yet, the kind of music you want to forget and can't. But Mattson avoids sentimentality and vagary through earthy imagery and a vital energy that avoids easy softness. The sonic equivalent of a splash of ice-cold water on one's face in the morning, his songs are a bracing alternative to the melancholy brooding of his countryman José Gonzalez. The Tallest Man on Earth is also a contender for the Handsomest Tall Man with a Ceiling-Scraping Pompadour on Earth, a factor that can't possibly hurt him as a live draw.
THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH With Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wheel. Thurs/2, 8 p.m., $12$24. The Independent, 628 Divisadero, SF. (415) 771-1421. www.independentsf.com

"Losing feels worse than winning feels good." -Vin Scully
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Matt Eddy
#Reds sign 2B Emmanuel Burriss, C Nevin Ashley & RHRP Jeff Stevens to minor league deals.
Jeffrey Allen Stevens (born September 5, 1983, in Berkeley, California) is an American professional baseball pitcher. He was originally selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the sixth round of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft. He also attended Campolindo Highschool in Moraga.[1]
Stevens made his professional debut with the Billings Mustangs in 2005, going 4-4 with a 2.98 ERA.
Stevens started 2006 with the Single-A Dayton Dragons. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians as the player to be named later in the Brandon Phillips trade. He was assigned to Single-A Lake County Captains where he spent the remainder of the 2006 season.

"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Burriss is a good depth signing, given that the team needs a solid glove to backup Cozart (assuming Didi is in AAA, which is probably where he should be). Burriss is a good defender, can play around the infield, switch hits and has excellent speed. Pretty much a perfect profile for a utility infielder. He had some success in the big leagues as a 23 year old starter for the Giants a few years ago.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Reds Sign Emmanuel Burriss
In 60 games with the Giants this past season, Burriss appeared at second base, third base, shortstop and right field. The 27-year-old posted a .213/.370/.221 batting line in 150 plate appearances. Burriss, San Francisco's first round selection in 2006, would have been arbitration eligible this offseason if the Giants had kept him on their roster.

I loved Emmanuel Burris in "Webster"....will had a cute little presence to the clubhouse
He's got a lot more speed too.Burriss is six years younger and less allergic to walks. On the whole, a slight upgrade.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Meh. Juan Pierre lite. All three signings are just AAAA chaff.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Didn't the Reds trade Jeff Stevens for Brandon Phillips? Is that the same guy?

We think it's a really good idea that our government operates each year with a balanced budget. And we couldn't agree more with our leaders who suggest that.
But, those points made, the requirement to balance the federal budget is not, as some lawmakers are suggesting, a Constitutional issue.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul was in Frankfort recently touting the idea of going through the laborious and – yes – costly process of amending the U.S. Constitution, perhaps requiring a constitutional convention, to impel lawmakers to do their jobs.
We were very pleased last week to see that Shelby County Fiscal Court had approved its piece of the financial pie needed to study the plan for the downtown City Center.
We had been pushing for months for magistrates to contribute the remaining $12,500 – the other partners, the City of Shelbyville, the Shelby County School Board and the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative, did so months ago – and we are relieved that this is completed.
I was standing in a convenience store last week, next to a new and neat stack of The Sentinel-News that I had just delivered because the guy contracted to do so was sick.
(Hey, nobody wants the paper to get out more than I do, so you do what needs to be done. To understand that, read on.)
And while I was there, a guy walked up and took a paper off the top, for which I thanked him.
My daughter has a good friend who tells this joke: There are three kinds of people in the world – those who can count, and those who can't. I've said it this way before: There are two kinds of people in the world – those who say there are two kinds of people and those who don't.
Maybe it's a statement about complacency, laziness or just a bit of "the-sky-is-falling" syndrome – literally – that I didn't leap to the computer or TV Monday morning when it felt like the side of my house was going to be sent blasting into Franklin County.
Many of you were awake, alert and ever vigilant to your family's safety, but all I did was lie there and hope that the siding would stay put and wonder if the dripping I heard was from the ceiling and not the gutter (neither happened).

Published: November 11, 2013
If you're refinancing your home or getting a mortgage to buy one, your lender will likely ask for more documentation of everything you claim on your loan application.
Based on what my REALTOR® friends tell me, getting a mortgage these days requires a ton of paperwork to prove that everything you said on your loan application was true. Did you really make the income you claim? Do you really have that much money in the bank? Can you prove you really did pay off that auto loan last year?
So when the top lenders mentioned during a panel discussion at the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® conference in San Francisco last week that they plan to get a little tougher about proving your income, credit, and debts when new federal mortgage lending rules go into effect come January 2014, I had to wonder, what's next? Are they going to come over to your house and look in your underwear drawer?
The New Lending Rules: Qualfied Mortgages
The new rules they were discussing, called the qualified mortgage or ability-to-repay rule, protect consumers from unscrupulous lending practices and provide creditworthy homebuyers with access to safe mortgage financing. That mean lenders must look deep before making a mortgage loan.
Lenders can still make any loans they like, but if they go outside the qualified mortgage rules, they lose protection against borrower lawsuits claiming that the loan was unfair or inappropriate. Many lenders have faced lawsuits filed by state attorneys general and class actions over loans made before and during the housing crisis.
To make a qualified mortgage, the lender will have to follow exact steps to prove eight things beginning in 2014:
1. Your current income or assets.
2. Your current employment status.
3. Your credit history.
4. The monthly payment for the mortgage.
5. Your monthly payments on other mortgage loans you get at the same time.
6. Your monthly payments for other mortgage-related expenses, such as property taxes.
7. Your other debts.
8. Your monthly debt payments, including the mortgage, compared with your monthly income and how much money you have left over each month after paying your debts.
All those checks will make it harder for some people to get mortgages, especially first-time homebuyers, Bill Emerson, CEO of Quicken Loans told the REALTORS®.
Kevin Watters, CEO of mortgage banking for JPMorgan Chase, agreed that low- and moderate-income buyers, as well as self-employed buyers who don't have a consistent flow of income, might have a tougher time in the new lending environment. "We need to work together to help first-time buyers into affordable housing options," he said.
Cash vs. Mortgage The new guidelines worry REALTORS® who see homebuyers who use a mortgage being passed over by sellers who accept offers from cash buyers (most cash buyers are investors and about one- third of recent existing- home sales involved investors).
I can't blame sellers for taking cash deals. If I were selling my home, I might not want to wait for a buyer to go through a lengthy mortgage approval if I could quickly close the deal by accepting a cash offer from an investor.
Will It Take Longer to Get a Loan?
Since the rules aren't in place yet, we won't know how long it'll take to process loan applications using the qualified mortgage until after January.
In the meantime, NAR President Gary Thomas asked the bankers how long they're currently taking to approve a mortgage. Matt Vernon, home loan sales executive for Bank of America, said that in California, Bank of America's mortgage loan officers can process and approve loans in 16 days.
Emerson didn't answer as directly. "Our mission is to get someone approved," he said. "With clarity and transparency, buyers will know exactly what's needed of them. We want to do this in a manner that's as stress free as possible for consumers."
Mike Heid, president of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, added that Wells Fargo is using new technologies to create learning tools to help consumers prepare to be homeowners, even before they find the house they love.
Regardless of whether you apply for a mortgage now or after the qualified mortgage rules start, your best bet is to:
Assume the loan process will be slower than the last time you got a mortgage, so don't let it stress you out. Make a copy of every piece of paperwork you give to your lender. That way, if you're asked to send it again, you've got it ready to go.
Discuss lender choices with your REALTOR®. She's watching local people go through the mortgage application process every day and knows what lenders are really doing versus what their loan officers say they're doing. Don't lie on your loan application. All the new verifications mean you're just going to get caught and then you won't get your loan.
So, How Will Housing Markets Fare in 2014?
The lending leaders unanimously agreed that next year consumers will see even healthier markets, keeping pace with gains made in 2013. Mortgage originations will dominate the 2014 housing markets as interest rates creep up and refinancing trends downward.
Heid said that while home values will continue to increase as the market continues to heal, the economy is the wild card and a downturn would be game changer. "In spite of the economic crisis, Americans still want to be homeowners. That hasn't changed one bit," he said. "Homeownership is at the heart of what we do and that's worth preserving."

They used to do it at the Macy's restaurants during the holidays. Thanks for the reminder, I'm gonna have to give them a call. |
Nicollet Avenue, also known as Eat Street is straight south just across the highway. I like Vincent's prix fixe lunch menu, and Brit's pub for, well, dunno, just like it. |
King's Hawaiian sweet rolls. |
So Low Grocery Outlet in N. Minneapolis. Two weeks ago they had back ribs for $0.99lb. |
Wonderful French bread loaves at 7 am...... What about New French Bakery? Do they still have a retail counter? |
Wonderful French bread loaves at 7 am...... If you want you can pop them back in your oven for a few minutes to recreate that fresh baked French bread feeling. |
Never believe the pictures you see in magazines. Food photography is a lot like taking a glamor shot for a cosmetic company. Move that parsley a quarter inch please, there, much better, not! Couple of things you can do if you're making it yourself. Form it by hand but cup your hands praying mantis style as you rotate the pizza dough. Next, sauce it but not too much on the inside. Finally, when making multiple pizzas, always use a different spot of the oven for each pizza. Even though the oven is hot, the pizza dough sucks a lot of heat out of the stone. |
Does prime porterhouse make sense? I've only ever participated in this forum. So sorry, but I was just replying directly to a question. |
Does prime porterhouse make sense? Yes, and to make matters more complicated there are three grades of Prime, three grades of Choice, and two grades of Select. It is not differentiated for the consumer. I will make a few calls and ask if there's a way to ID the meat. |
Does prime porterhouse make sense? There was Prime, Choice, and Good. Good became choice, and the level below Good (whatever that was named) became Good. They simply moved everything up a level but there was no where for Prime to go so Prime remained Prime. |
Does prime porterhouse make sense? I'm not going to ask how old, but in 1950 choice and prime were rolled into one category. Choice became prime, hence the prime we get nowadays could have included what was considered choice prior to 1950. |
Does prime porterhouse make sense? The idea of a Prime Porterhouse does not make sense, at least it does not make sense to me. A Porterhouse is made up of the vein end of a short loin and a piece of tenderloin. The tenderloin does not need help from fat and you are getting a less desirable section of the strip where being more marbled may help, but you're still getting a lot of the connective tissue. That's my reasoning. |
Nectar Wine Bar and Bistro. |
haha yes. Good catch. |
Ecopolitan. |
Ted Cook's is take out, and best BBQ, but not as good as FF for take out. Hmm.... |
Totally. Understanding standard benchmarks is crucial to a good honest critique and a reviewer's credibility. |
A short paragraph on Burch where he never even says what he ate doesn't say much. I'd be more interested in his spouse's experience than his second hand recount of what he heard from her. |
Robbinsdale and Travail. Updates. This is not a criticism of Travail. This is a picture of what used to happen at V44. When Travail first opened in Robbinsdale we used to go in, get the charcuterie platter and a couple glasses of wine and leave happy. This platter was about $12. Way too cheap because on this platter there was rabbit confit, head cheese, a couple of country style pates, chicken liver mousse, and a few other things. Sometimes we got lucky and it came with a torchon of foie gras. If you're a chef, this is the kind of stuff that drives you. Those skulls which used to sit on the shelf weren't just decorations, you really did get head cheese made out of a whole head. I don't expect them to do this again at that price. Those days are long gone. My wish is that they do something similiar, maybe with a smaller selection, and maybe for a bit more money. This time maybe they'll be a little more health conscious and use a little less pork fat. Nah. :D |
Sparks is my new favorite restaurant for a quick spur of the moment meal. There's a steak on the menu. They do not take reservations and the dining room is small. Eight people might be the maximum party they could do comfortably. |
Robbinsdale and Travail. Updates. True, the restaurant was a little too small to handle the demand. However, a smaller restaurant would give the kitchen even more control over what they want to do and how they want to do it. |
The server got it wrong. A few times it sounds like. |
A bad review is often the case of not meeting your expectations. From reading the menu on their website, I would not expect a Porterhouse to feed three people. A large Porterhouse is a strip near the sirloin side and a filet with the chain intact and is about 1.5" thick. Properly trimmed, the strip would be about 18oz and the filet about 6oz. That's being generous because both these cuts will consist of two muscles each and some may find the connective tissue unappetizing. And I wouldn't argue about the Malbec, the rest of your quibble I get. Anyway seriously, from reading your review, why would you even go to a steakhouse? Irrational optimism? |
Vincent Restaurant..... French cuisine my bottoms If you ordered a "French Cabernet" it's likely Bordeaux. It can be half Merlot and half Cab. In France wines are named by the region, in California, wines are named by the varietal. If you had ordered a California Cabernet it would have been made with mainly Cabernet grapes. The difference is huge. Study up on your wines. You can't even describe what you got. Can't say much about the Calamari, but if something is braised then it's well done. In fact it's normally so well done that it's falling off the bone. I'd expect something braised to be fork tender with just a little tooth. You need to get your facts straight before you start a critique. God bless the first amendment, the right to free speech, bad spelling, and the right to critique anything you eat without knowing anything about what you eat. |
What's missing from MSP's culinary landscape? I love Yoshinoya. :) |
Restaurant Week. What do you Think? I am thinking I should hit Fogo for dinner at least once. |
Best gourmet supermarkets near Minneapolis Mid-City Industrial, 35W and Stinson? Hmm, we can't send PM's on this board. If you need me you can PM me. I'm kuando on mplsbikelove.com |
Best gourmet supermarkets near Minneapolis Mid-City Industrial, 35W and Stinson? Pretty sure I can do this for you. Hit and run? I don't remember hearing about this one. |
Element Pizza on Broadway Northeast That's just a matter of preference. It's pizza. I normally get a pizza with one topping. |

The 10 Most Impressive Dating Resumes in Sports
By Mike McD ,
It's no secret that hot women love athletes. It's hard to find a professional athlete who isn't married to or has a girlfriend that is extremely attractive.
However, it's harder than you think to keep up relationship after relationship, especially if the girl you're with is high-profile herself. Then it becomes more difficult.
This is a salute to the guys who showed that while pimpin' may not be easy, the payoff is fantastic. Here are The 10 Biggest Players In Sports And The Sexy Ladies That Love Them.
Whoa! Not exactly what you were expecting, were you? Believe me, nobody was more suprised than I was, but if you look back on the past few years, A-Rod has been a busy man. And with his latest lady being his good luck charm, I think it landed him a spot on this list.
While A-Rod's ex-wife may have been a little mentally unstable, it's hard to dispute the fact that she was hot.
But Rodriguez knew he had some game left in him, on and off the field...
Not exactly the prime choice for your next conquest, but dating Madonna showed that A-Rod wasn't going to shy away from controversy. He was going to be in the spotlight with his women from now on.
That was ballsy, but I'd say it paid off in the long run...
Because it landed A-Rod K-Hud.
While it may have been a few years since Hudson cracked any guy's Top-10 list, she still has got movie star good looks. Hell, she could have looked like Kathy Bates as long as it landed the Yankees another World Series victory.
How does a guy who spends most of his waking hours on a bike manage to be cycling's biggest heartbreaker? I have no idea. But here he is.
After he split with his wife in 2003, Armstrong wasted no time in hitting the celebrity circuit with Sheryl Crowe. In fact, this couple got along so well that they got engaged, only to break it off less than a year later.
Crazy of Crowe to think a lone wolf like Armstrong could be tied down.
Armstrong also dated Kate Hudson for a little bit before he was seen shmoozing it up with little miss Ashley Olsen.
While it never really worked out to be anything substantial, Lance gets super bonus points for hooking up with a star of Full House. That show was awesome.
This guy? Really?
Brad Penny may not be a household name, but his name is in some of the more impressive black books in Hollywood. Let's check them out.
A pitcher junkie, Milano has dated her fair share of baseball players, so it's only natural that her and Penny would cross paths at some point.
They probably met and the conversation went something like, "So... you're Alyssa Milano and... I'm a pitcher. Wanna go out?"
Eliza Dushku hit everyone's radar after a little thing I like to call "The Carwash Scene" in Bring It On, especially Mr. Penny, who somehow managed to score this sexpot.
I guess that's the kind of perks you get playing ball in L.A.
Karina Smirnoff is a professional ballroom dancer by trade and hottie by nature. She had dated Mario Lopez previously, as well as fellow dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, so naturally she would be drawn to someone with Penny's physique.
Wait, what?
Avery doesn't think of himself as just a hockey player. He's also an entrepreneur and fashion mogul in his mind. So of course he thinks that it's in his right to date incredible women.
And of course, since women make terrible decisions with men, he landed some of them.
Stacey's mom still has got it going on. Even a douche like Sean Avery could figure that out.
Elisha has started appearing in my slideshows so much that I need to start sending her royalty money.
Seriously though, even though she hooked up with Avery, I'm begging her to keep sticking it to athletes. It makes my job so much easier.
Rhoda, a swimsuit model, is the latest woman to fall into Avery's rat trap. Sooner or later she'll realize he's a jerk, but hopefully she'll be like Hunter and Cuthbert and become some hockey player's sloppy seconds.
Romo hasn't done much on the field, well, in the playoffs at least, but that doesn't stop him from at least acting like Tom Brady off the field. His steady stream of blond hotties at least fooled people into thinking he was a superstar.
A fellow Texan, Underwood whet her athlete appetite on Romo before heading over to the NHL. But she certainly left an impression.
Simpson started out as the catch of the century for Romo before she started gaining a bunch of weight and jinxing him at his games. She obviously had to go after that.
A sports journalist, beauty contestant, and sister of Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford, Candice is just famous enough to land on Romo's radar.
So you're telling me he has a type? Really? I don't see it.
Although currently off the market, Roddick was highly sought after by many women and he indulged in enough to make us obscenely jealous.
Pop star turned movie star, Mandy Moore is that perfect combination of innocent and sexy, which Roddick obviously liked.
I know I'm a fan.
Although their relationship was never confirmed, the rumor alone was enough to get the world thinking about what incredibly talented and good-looking tennis babies these two could have.
If you're going to lose your playboy ways, what better way to settle down than with one of the most gorgeous women on the planet?
Once you hit the top, there's nowhere to go but down, so just stay at the top.
Hey, speaking of which...
Tom Brady is also off the market, but he was the best combination of talent and lady-killer since Derek Jeter. Guys everywhere can rejoice that Tom Brady is no more a threat to take their women.
Brady didn't date the crazy, boozing, nipple-slipping Tara Reid of now. He dated her back when she actually looked like this and could still turn men on with her smokey voice instead of making them want to vomit.
The woman who turned Brady into a baby daddy, he and Moynahan were considered the power couple in the NFL. Ha! As if you thought that's as high as Brady could go!
Bam! Gisele!
Brady snatched up the one-time and possibly current holder of the most beautiful woman in the world. How do other women ever feel secure when there's a supermodel out there that guys are looking to upgrade to?
Jason Kidd is this list's biggest sleeper. You didn't see him coming did you? Well, if you didn't know before, now you know. Jason Kidd is a pimp.
This was his first wife. Unhinged like Cynthia Rodriguez, but way, way hotter. Even had Kidd whipped enough to blow her a kiss before his free throws. I probably would have too.
After Kidd split with his wife, he took the ultimate revenge - getting with a super hot model.
May Anderson didn't last too long with Kidd, but she certainly did the job she was supposed to.
Finally we get to Kidd's latest and loveliest. I have no idea how to say her name, but that's the last thing on my mind when I'm looking at her.
Add to the fact that she's supported her man by getting photographed in Dallas Mavericks body paint, and she is a huge reason that Kidd moves up the list as far as he does.
Easily soccer's bigget playboy, Ronaldo's list looks like a who's who of women who are vaguely important but incredibly beautiful.
He zooms to No. 2 just on volume alone!
Karina Ferro had been linked to Ronaldo from 2002-2005, during which time Ronaldo was linked to various other women. I guess she didn't mind not having an exclusive relationship with the man.
It apparently didn't spoil her appetite for pretty boy athletes, as she also dated Rafael Nadal a few years later.
Marina was Miss Portugal in 2004.
Her solution to obtaining world peace was, "Um, I don't know. Can I start dating famous people now?"
That answer won her the crown.
Merche was Cristiano's first cougar. She was nine years older than him.
Ronaldo never confirmed or denied that they were together, but Romero came out and publicly said that they had broken up.
Luciana Abreu is a Portugese singer, actress and television host. She started out on Idolos, the Portugese version of American Idol.
Although her involvement with Ronaldo was just rumored, it's not hard to see why he would be interested.
Atkinson had a very high-profile breakup with Ronaldo when she claimed that the relationship ended when she "caught him shagging prostitutes."
I have a very hard time believing he could have found a prostitute that could even come close to how hot Atkinson is.
Bipasha Basu is an actress that is considered one of the more mainstream in Bollywood.
She was photographed kissing Ronaldo while still in a relationship with her current boyfriend, John Abraham.
The ex-Miss Wales was also on Big Brother UK, has a sex tape out there, and has no problem posing nude in photo shoots.
I am shocked—shocked, I tell you—that she dated Ronaldo.
Of course, at No. 1, the man that comes to mind anytime you talk about a playboy athlete. Jeter may have damaged his rep just a little by sticking with the same women for so long, but I mean, come on, it's Minka Kelly!
Jeter is the gold standard by which sports playboys from past and future should and will be measured.
To really understand the significance of this one, you have to go all the way back to 1996. Jeter was just one year into the league and Mariah Carey was at the peak of her hotness.
This was an upset of epic proportions. This was the first celebrity Jeter dated, and it just so happened to be one of the hottest women on the planet at the time.
He was just getting started.
After dating one of the hottest women on the planet for three years, Jeter decided to set his sights on something bigger... the universe.
Yes, he started dating Lara Dutta, the Miss Universe winner from India. She earned the highest score ever for her final interview in the pageant, making her not only beautiful, but intelligent as well.
Jeter made the leap to Hollywood hotties when he started dating "The Fast and the Furious" beauty Jordana Brewster.
Brewster has that kind of girl-next-door quality... if the girl that lived next to you was this stunning.
Jeter seemed intent on knocking off as many different kinds of hotties as possible—pop star, Miss Universe, Hollywood star, and next a Victoria's Secret Angel.
That's what I like to call hitting for the cycle.
This is the point where Jeter finally went, "Hey, I'm Derek Effing Jeter. I can be with any woman I want."
My theory is he went up to all his buddies, asked them if they could date any women in the world who would it be, then proceeded to go out and date that woman.
And that was before the video below. Mercy.
You knew it was only a matter of time before Jeter got together with a Playboy and FHM model, even if they were never "officially" an item.
Guerra is a lot like a less famous Kim Kardashian. She isn't known for anything other than dating an athlete, being really hot, and having a big butt.
Seriously, try to find some pictures of Vida with clothes on somewhere on the internet. It's damn near impossible.
The second half of the famed double-Jessica I mentioned at the beginning. Men all over the world have debated over which Jessica you would choose if you had your choice.
Jeter is the only man qualified to answer that question. And we salute you for it, Derek.
Can you tell us, though? In detail?
A classic beauty, Minka was a big part of the Yankees run to the World Series, as she was in the stands plenty during the playoffs.
As long as Jeter keeps dating women who look like this, I'm okay with the Yankees winning, because it means we get to see more and more shots of them in the crowd.
Thank you Derek, and everyone else on here, for giving us that pleasure.
