Meetings and Incentives, the Caledonia, Wis.–based meetings management company, has won its bid to partner with corporate travel management company giant Travelocity Business.
While Southlake, Texas–based Travelocity Business has group coordinators and group agents on staff who specialized in group air and meeting registration services and, by request, provide on-site services and meeting sourcing, Jaimie Johnson, director, product marketing, says the company decided early last year to begin looking for a partner who could bring spend management and other strategic meeting tools to the table. The existing group travel staff will work together with M&I to meet clients' needs, she says, with the Travelocity Business group coordinator handling the initial inquiry, determining which meeting services will be required, and then engaging the meeting and incentives coordinator.
M&I, which made the 2009 CMI 25 list of the largest meeting and incentive companies in North America, sees the partnership as a "great opportunity to reach a broader audience, says Don LaPorte, executive vice president of business development. "We complement each other very well."
M&I's list of services includes strategic meetings management, domestic and international sourcing, planning and registration, on-site services and production, and event marketing. The company reports booking 415 corporate meetings and 22 incentive travel programs in 2008, representing 60,000 room nights. In 2009, the company launched a new international services division.

It's already been noted here on Geekologie that I have a thing for Pokemon. Now that may or may not be true, but the point I'm trying to make is that I would totally do the chick in these photos. I mean it too, I would get mad electric up on that. With a car battery. "WHERE'S THE MASTER BALL?!"

This is a Meatwad (of Aqua teen Hunger Force fame) inspired cosplay dress. As you can see, the chick isn't looking too Meatwad-y. More Meatstick-y. AND THE DRESS IS MADE FROM REAL FREAKING MEAT. AAAAAAAAAAH I'M IN LOVE! I considered somehow vacuum-sealing sheets of meat w... / Continue →

First sample images from the Sony Xperia Z are yummy
0. phoneArena 08 Jan 2013, 11:38 posted on
The photos are pretty decent, with noise kept in check for the sake of some detail smearing; other than that, the colors are vibrant and the pics look sharp. What we would really like to see though, are the HDR video samples, and we'll try to get some of those before the expo ends...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Seriously, w/o samples from comparable cameras like iP5, GS3 we can't judge the pictures quality.
7. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 3447; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
They look average, not better than what is available in HTC Droid DNA, Samsung Galaxy SIII/Note II, & Apple iPhone 5. It's clearly on par with what is out there.
Nothing spectacular like Nokia's Pure View.
21. zazori08 (Posts: 113; Member since: 21 Dec 2011)
how can you say that when sony produces their cameras.
23. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 3447; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Because the pictures don't lie. Should I lie & say the pictures do look better because Sony makes their cameras?
I said the pictures are on par with the others I mentioned.
These pictures are CLEARLY not better.

afaik Sony is not involved with Nokia 808's camera in any way.
27. zazori08 (Posts: 113; Member since: 21 Dec 2011)
i know that because it's written on the camera of the 808
namely Carl Zeiss

6. zuckerboy (Posts: 630; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
with more saturated colors ?
8. freebee269 (Posts: 486; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
like your iphone 5's saturated colors?
you're moving into wendy's and TROLL's space for the best phonearena troll award. by the way i think that would be a funny poll to start and award to give out.
9. zuckerboy (Posts: 630; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
my iphone 5 ? check my phones list mate I have gs2
11. freebee269 (Posts: 486; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
so your gs2 has amoled display vs. the 920's lcd display yet your saying the 920 has saturated colors? ok....
LCD displays start with a backlight that's always on, and require light in order to create black, white, and colors. High end LCD's have the reputation for creating the most accurate colors and "grays", but are often calibrated (on purpose) to produce weaker red, blue, and purple colors to keep power consumption down. LCD screens also age slower, and can easily withstand thousands of hours of use.
This particular type of screen requires no light in order to produce black, but only needs it to produce white and colors. Because of this, it can be considered as a battery saving display. OLED displays are often brighter, but can often suffer from oversaturated green colors. They also age a lot faster than LCDs, with red and blue colors deteriorating faster than green. That might not sound like a big deal, but it can cause the color balance to suffer over time. OLEDs are also more expensive to make, which has caused many manufacturers (HTC for example) to switch from AMOLED to LCD displays.
Super AMOLED
Don't let the title "Super" fool you. This is simply Samsung's proprietary name and approach to making OLED displays. In other words, Super AMOLED=Samsung OLED. Super AMOLED, Super AMOLED Plus, and HD Super AMOLED only really have one major difference: sub pixels.
troll harder.
12. zuckerboy (Posts: 630; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
did I say smoled better than lcd ? but admit iphone 5 capture more natural looking pictures than lumia brick ;)
14. freebee269 (Posts: 486; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
more useless opinion vs. mine backed up with facts. i'm done.
15. zuckerboy (Posts: 630; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
then u admit :)
17. Basharhd99 (Posts: 24; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
you dont even have a lumia 920 how could u judge???
18. zuckerboy (Posts: 630; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
but my friends has both l920& i5

And, a flagship smartphone is supposed to do things other than take pics. I hope the call quality is on a par with Sammy.
Waiting for the review.

sammy, sammy and sammy...nothing but sammy... Lord....
5. Marule (Posts: 3; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
these arent the best samples for test pics i think
10. windy (Posts: 16; Member since: 28 Oct 2012)
Waiting to see the full camera review to compare with others. I expect more "pro camera like" picture quality in mobiles in 2013.
13. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 5472; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
YUM YUM. Should of taken a picture of one of my favorite shandwhiches the PANINI and I could hold the XPERIA Z RIGHT NOW
16. Basharhd99 (Posts: 24; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
OH MY GOD so sharp
20. Crane (Posts: 3; Member since: 08 Jan 2013)
I think, the pix were taken without any special settings, but my Acro S can take nearly same photos like these...
25. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5155; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
For Sony's sake, I hope the photos were not taken with some other camera. As in take a page from the Nokia playbook for how to do new product introductions. That would NOT be the way to introduce your new flagship phone to the world.

I know right? At the time it didn't seem as significant as it does now. I feel it's only gonna get crazier with the next series too.
I have to agree. I don't think the UK is truly evil. We know the saying. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." I think that is what happened to him. He tried to find his own happiness and created what he shouldn't have (The Unseelie), and lost the one he loved most in the process.
As to Adam? I think he doesn't have anything to do with being the UK or Cruce. I feel as though he knew ALL of these "players" at one time or another. Meaning V'lane, Darroc, and JZB. Although I do feel that Cruce and JZB have a very STRONG connection.
Jo I'm shocked! I could have sworn you had the sampler.

i don't understand something else about the QA statement either...i thought that the US king was envolved with the original Seelie Queen that was killed before QA took over not QA...did i miss something somewhere...can someone enlighten me...bap
So many books to read, so little TIME!
Everyone NEEDS a little MAGIC!!!!!!!!!

No Bonnie, I believe you're right. QA wasn't the original Seelie Queen that would have been involved with the UK.
But Karen's questions doesn't indicate WHAT it is she's referring to. So maybe there's more info with QA than we all know cause she's supposedly forgotten it.
I hope I'm right!!!
His music choices have been a bit obnoxious of late.....
Yea, what she said...Bampots of the World unite!!!
Adam is the Man Formerly Known as the Unseelie King, I tell ya!!! Aoibheal is *all about* Adam...she wubs him so...she is obsessed!!! I think that is what we are going to hear about Adam.....and why Darroc is sideways about Adam and his supposed not "remembering" certain things...having "selective memoriy" if you will. I suggested that His Hotness the Lord Master use his skills and make Adam a visual reminder via a scrapbook. His Hotness said he waould take it under advisement.

"Several story ideas on the burners: an alternate universe that runs parallel to the MacKeltars, but with sorcerers, not Druids; another MacKeltar (or two); and then there's a fallen Fae who is demanding attention every bit as insistently and tenaciously as I am endeavoring to ignore him.
As if Adam wasn't difficult enough.
No freaking way, Darroc. :) "

Was that a dream come true for Romney or what? Getting to dismiss Jim Lehrer in front of a TV audience must be as good as it gets for a man who "likes firing people."
There was a miracle in Hurricane. All Hurricane Middle School's students and staff made it home safely after the dangerous gas leak. Be thankful instead of complaining about such nonsense about what time your were notified or that you couldn't check your child out.
It may be that the [Legislature] doesn't often get it right, but in the matter of who teaches which subjects, they did. It's undeniably difficult to staff high-need schools and classrooms, but letting TFA volunteers teach literally anything, however unrelated to their degree fields, isn't the answer.
If we ever needed a capitalist in the White House it's now. Making money is not a bad thing .... The USA could use some business acumen.
Let's see: Unemployment rate is lower than when Bush left office, affordable medical care for practically all Americans, Osama bin Laden dead, we haven't been attacked by terrorists, war in Iraq ended and Afghanistan winding down. I don't know why anyone would vote to re-elect President Obama.
The [new] jobs report cancels out whatever advantage Willard Mitt Romney got from the first debate. Facts cancel out BS every time. It's the usual story. Good news for the average American is bad news for the Republican Party.
So now the left has finally seen what we on the right have seen and known all along in the president: A somewhat adrift professor who hasn't a real grip on the facts and their impact, but [who] does real fine when he has a script and a teleprompter.
For those wondering who the person debating Obama was, it was Romney. He just shook his Etch-A-Sketch.
If we were to be so unfortunate to have Obama get re-elected, expect him to declare he has yet another mandate to do whatever he pleases. This would allow him, among other undesirable acts, to appoint more czars at much higher salaries than before.
Doc Holliday may not have quite the team that Holgorsen does, but he's got twice the character and he's twice the coach. Take that, WVU fans.
Poor John. Now he thinks he is running against a dead man. Get him a copy of the 2009 paper with Ted's death announcement. Mountain candidate won easily followed by Joe and far behind, in another world, came John. Poor John.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy Nearly a century and half ago, President Abraham Lincoln pushed through the False Claims Act in order to combat rampant fraud and war profiteering during the Civil War. It is fitting that we hold this hearing on legislation to strengthen "Lincoln's Law" the same month we celebrate President Lincoln's birth. Today, again in the midst of war and facing reports of billions lost to fraud and waste in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are considering important new improvements to the False Claims Act - not only to punish and deter those who seek to defraud our nation, but also to recover billions in taxpayer dollars stolen from the public trust. In recent years, the False Claims Act has become the government's most effective tool against fraud. Since 1986, it has been used to recover more than $20 billion lost to fraud, about half of that coming in just the past five years. It has been used to punish contractors selling defective body armor to our police, to recover hundreds of millions from oil and gas companies bilking the government on valuable leases on federal land, to thwart major technology corporations from colluding in bids for government contracts, and to uncover massive fraud by insurance companies illegally shifting their losses from Hurricane Katrina to the Federal Government. Perhaps the Act's greatest success has been to expose complex schemes that have defrauded billions from federal health care programs. Just this month, the drug company Merck agreed to pay a $650 million false claims settlement for illegally overcharging Medicaid for Vioxx, Zocor, and other drugs. This settlement was among the largest ever under the False Claims Act, and part of more than five billion dollars recovered in health care cases just this decade. More than 600 false claims cases are still pending against health care and drug companies, and 150 of those involve overcharging the government for pharmaceuticals. It seems clear that future false claims settlements will soon dwarf what we have seen so far. But these recent successes do not tell the full story, as the False Claims Act has yet to fulfill its true potential for combating fraud. In 1986, Senator Grassley led the effort to reinvigorate the False Claims Act by amending the law to encourage citizens to report fraud against the government. Since then, citizen whistleblowers have become the greatest source for uncovering complex frauds against the government, and their cases now account for about 70 percent of all the money recovered under the False Claims Act. Yet, opponents of the False Claims Act, those who defend the major defense contractors and big drug companies, have worked hard to undermine the original intent of these amendments, and a series of recent court decisions have placed new, technical impediments on false claims cases. These court decisions threaten to weaken the law, and undo the successes of recent years. Today, we consider bipartisan legislation - the False Claims Act Corrections Act of 2007 - that will correct these judicial interpretation problems and strengthen the False Claims Act for the 21st Century. In doing so, I want to recognize the longstanding leadership of my friend Senator Chuck Grassley, who recently introduced this bill in order to restore the original intent of his 1986 amendments. Senator Grassley has worked tirelessly over the years in defense of the False Claims Act, and I am proud to join with him, as well as Senators Durbin, Specter, and Whitehouse, in support of this bill. I look forward to working with all these Senators and the Committee to make the False Claims Act even more effective, and to provide important, new protections for the citizen whistleblowers, who are so vital to uncovering these frauds. At our hearing today, we will ask important questions of the Justice Department, about its failure to dedicate sufficient lawyers and investigators to pursue these fraud cases. The Justice Department has a backlog of more than 1,000 false claims cases, which at its current pace would take nearly 10 years to resolve, even if no new cases were brought. When one considers that a recent study found that for every dollar spent enforcing the law in health care cases, the government recovered 15 dollars on behalf of the American taxpayer, there's no excuse for failing to pursue these cases aggressively. In light of the politicization of the Bush Justice Department, many wonder whether it has resisted pursuing certain false claims cases for political reasons - most notably those involving contracting fraud related to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the past five years, the Justice Department has participated in more than 600 false claims settlements nationwide and recovered more than $10 billion. Yet, during that same time, the Justice Department participated in only five cases involving contracting fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan and has recovered a mere $16 million - that's less than two tenths of one percent of the overall total. Since 2002, our government has spent nearly $500 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, much of it on government contracting, and billions of taxpayers' dollars have been lost to fraud, waste, and abuse. The False Claims Act was designed to attack such rampant war profiteering, and it is just as necessary today, as it was during the Civil War. Iraq Study Group Chairman Lee Hamilton said in testimony to this Committee that nothing undermines our efforts in Iraq more than abuse and fraud in the reconstruction of the country. I share these concerns with Chairman Hamilton and others who have recognized the tremendous harm this conduct causes. Yet, this administration has apparently decided that pursuing unscrupulous defense contractors would be embarrassing and aggressively pursuing these frauds is not their priority. This morning we will hear from a courageous citizen whistleblower, who will tell us how she used the False Claims Act not only to hold one of our nations' largest defense contractors to account, but also to keep the Justice Department honest. Tina Gonter was a quality engineer was working for a submarine parts supplier in Ohio when she discovered the valves produced at her plant were faulty and could lead to catastrophic failure for our nation's submarine fleet. She reported the problem to her superiors, but they did nothing. After contacting a lawyer, she reported her observations to criminal investigators, she agreed to volunteer as an undercover informant, and wore a secret tape recorder gathering evidence against her bosses. After the criminal investigation was complete, she filed a False Claims Act case, but even after her immediate bosses went to jail, the Justice Department refused to join her case against the defense contractors who also knew about and benefited from the fraud, and she pursued the case alone, until a judge scolded the Justice Department for not taking action and they joined in the settlement at the last minute. Ms. Gonter is a testament to the courage of citizen whistleblowers. She risked her job and was retaliated against but she took on the powerful, moneyed defense contractors anyway. These whistleblowers should be recognized as "citizen soldiers," as President Lincoln called them when the False Claims Act was first passed so many years ago. They keep government contractors honest and are responsible for returning billions to the American taxpayers. Her story demonstrates how the False Claims Act works for all Americans, and why new protections for citizen whistleblowers in the bill we consider today are necessary to encourage others to come forward and tell their stories. I expect that some may suggest that citizens should not be allowed to bring these cases against their employers, or that this law creates unnecessary incentives for lawsuits against defense contractors and drug companies. But no one can deny that these citizen whistleblowers are now the single, most important source for uncovering fraud against the government, and their cases have returned tens of billions to the American taxpayers, money that the government would never have recovered without them. I hope all Senators will join us to honor the legacy of Lincoln's Law and take action now to strengthen and improve the False Claims Act for the next century. # # # # |

A bit pricey for quality of food
and service but a "special occasion" place that we may revisit when the weather is warmer and we have a better idea of surrounding area."
Dined on 3/1/2014
This spot is truly a find just
north of Olney. It's beautiful, romantic, and the service truly makes one feel special. However, it does not draw many people on weeknights."
Dined on 2/27/2014
This was our first meal at
Brookville Farms. We came in quite early for dinner because we were catching a show at the Olney Theatre that's why the place was a bit empty. We had the scallops and the calamari for starters, and it was the best calamari I've even had. Our main dishes were the bass dish and the lamb steak. Both winners!!!! This may be our first visit but definitely not our last."
Dined on 2/21/2014
There was a set menu for
Valentine's Day, which was $60 per person, which we thought was overpriced for the tiny food portions. We had no option to order outside of that menu, in case there was nothing we liked. We ordered the lamb, which was a bit tough, which came with lobsters the size of my pinky finger. Dessert was so-so; not much variety there. The soup was excellent. I should have just ordered three of those! Ambience and service was okay."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We had a small group, 5 women, for
our evening at the Brookeville Inn. They put us in a small alcove by ourselves which was perfect. The food was amazing and the service was very good. Our server, I believe his name was John, was very attentive but not overbearing. It seemed a shame that there weren't more people there, only a few other couples, but in all fairness it was a Tuesday evening. I would highly recommend it, everything we had was delicious from the appetizers to the desserts."
Dined on 1/14/2014
We have been to The Inn at
Brookville Farms many times for both brunch on Sunday and dinner, usually a special occasion. This time was to celebrate the new year. Unfortunately, there was a wedding celebration going on and the band was loud (and bad) as well as the guests. It was too bright in the dining room we were in. I felt like I was in Grand Central Station. The food was good but I couldn't wait to leave for some peace and quiet. Next time, if there is a wedding or other major celebration we will go someplace else. Too bad, we used to like the place."
Dined on 1/4/2014
My wife and I have been to the Inn
many times and have always had wonderful meals. This time, we had 4 friends dine with us. All 6 meals were outstanding...several had sea bass, others had crab cakes, scallops, and pork ragu style. We had our own small private room. It was a wonderful intimate setting. Our hostess did a nice job seating us and taking coats. Water and coffee refills were prompt. However, our lead waiter's service was spotty. Often, we were left unattended for large blocks of time. We had ordered one dessert in advance (in was someone's birthday) but our plan was to order 2 other desserts to share. However, it took so long for the waiter to return that we'd lost interest in the other desserts. That said, we will return."

This was our second Thanksgiving
at the Inn. We remember the first visit as wonderful - great food, great ambiance, excellent service - a great experience. We were disappointed when we had Thanksgiving 2013 at the Inn. The food, while good, was not great and was served only warm - no hot. Even dessert was a bit of a disappointment. We did receive excellent service and were seated in a nice upstairs room. The noise level was good even for older folks with hearing problems. However, we have been to the Inn on many occasions. I've even had business meetings in the private rooms, and this was the only time we would not rate the experience as excellent."
Dined on 11/6/2013
I was extremely disappointed in
this year's Thanksgiving dinner. The food was barely adequate; the turkey cutlet had little flavor and looked unappetizing (consistent with the stuffing and potatoes, which had the "scooped" appearance I remember from my elementary school cafetria), The service was poor. Although the menu featured a "table welcoming" item, our soup appeared immediately and I had to inquire about the welcoming. The waitress said she'd told the busboy to bring it. Another table didn't get bread until after they finished their entrees. My guest requested her wine twice, and nobody asked if we wanted coffee. I may eventually give the Inn at Brookeville Farms another chance but will never return there for a holiday."
Dined on 11/28/2013
They nailed it. As we were leaving
the restaurant, I walked up to people going in and recommended the lemon and pistachio cheesecake. I'll probably never have it again, but that one glorious time . . ."
Dined on 11/28/2013
The cheese and sausage plate was a
little unappealing and the rolls were not very good. However, the entree was excellent - quite possibly the best turkey breast I have ever had. The gravy was also excellent, quite light. I had the arugula salad which was delightful as was the spice cake. The service seemed a little inexperienced but they were so willing and cheerful that it was easy to give them the benefit of the doubt. I expect they put on extra help for the holiday. With just a little fine tuning they could easily improve the experience."
Dined on 11/28/2013
We had a late family lunch the day
before Thanksgiving here and the restaurant was very quiet. However the food was very good and the personalized service was outstanding. We had our own room; the outdoors and location were very nice but we didnt explore. This is our second visit and I would highly recommend."
Dined on 11/27/2013
My close friend and I had a
wonderful time at the Inn. The special menu for the day was so on target that we enjoyed the ambience as atmospheric and hospitable. We are definitely considering to make a future reservation for the Christmas holiday."
Dined on 11/28/2013
What a magnificent restaurant all
around. The Inn itself is stunning. The food was superb as well as the service. They honored our reservation time on a busy Saturday night and the atmosphere for our party of four was intimate., not noisy or crowded. The food was prepared and served with care. The dinner was plated elegantly and served at a leisurely pace. We were made to feel special although it was our first visit. We all look forward to returning in the near future."
Dined on 11/22/2013
The town of Brookeville is so
great and this place is a staple in the community. This was our first visit (we have thought about going for years). Here are some issues: they show pics of their food on the website. They tout that they were voted MoCo's "Best Banqueting Facility." The eschew a beautiful front entrance for double glass doors on the side. They do a good wedding business and it can get a bit noisy. However, there is a certain charm and a man across from us told his waiter that his filet Mignon was the best he has had in years. I think we will go back and try some more items on the menu."
Dined on 11/16/2013
We went on a Friday night and the
place was pretty dead. This was nice because we had a whole room to ourselves. I had the Crab Spring Roll and my wife had the Corn Soup for an appetizer. Both were delicious and a great start to our meal. For an entree we both had the Fillet. The chef cooked it to perfection. We planned for 2.5 hours for dinner. But since it was pretty dead, we were in and out within an hour. My wife and I didn't know what else to do in the area so we returned home early to the babysitter's surprise."
Dined on 11/8/2013
We really enjoyed dinner in this
elegant mansion. The beautifully furnished small dining room enabled us to converse comfortably while enjoying our tasty martinis. The food was very special, starting with savory biscuits, puree of pumpkin/squash soup and an abundant salad. I had my eye on the scallop appetizer in lobster champagne sauce and was pleased that they could serve this as an entrée by increasing the number of scallops and adding steamed spinach and pureed cauliflower. My friend enjoyed her tasty crab cakes served on sautéed red cabbage. For dessert we shared the chocolate bombe with homemade orange ice cream and fresh fruits. A fabulous dining experience! No need to wait for a special occasion."
Dined on 11/9/2013
Reservation made for 5 ahead of
time. Showed to a table set for 6. Didn't they know how many were coming??? Lighting very poor. One of the party didn't drink wine. No one took an alternative order. Lamb very tough; creame brulee "old". When time came to leave and one of the party asked to take home what was not consumed, a plastic take home container and paper bag was delivered to the table so she could do the scraping of the food!!??? I would excpect more professionalism, especially at the prices charged."
Dined on 11/9/2013
The fish tonight seemed to have
been previously frozen and the bread was not fully cooked. So it wasn't up to it's normal standards. Perhaps just an off night."
Dined on 11/6/2013
Beautiful in a restored farmhouse
that's now an Inn & restaurant. Staff is pleasant & well meaning, but do not seem trained in service. My husband & I are approaching our 60s, yet the food runners insisted on calling us guys. "Hey, guys how's your wine?" One of the food runners threw the soup in front of my husband and left, even though I was the one that had ordered that appetizer. The waiter was far more polished, but we saw less of him than of the runners and bus staff, so the untrained staff left the biggest impression. Our food was cooked from excellent ingredients, but the crabcakes were deep fried (unexpected) and unspiced (disappointing). The tenderloin was quite good, but the dish was quite basic."
Dined on 11/1/2013
Decided to enjoy Sunday - a "
Breakfast Brunch" - lovely setting, both inside & out. Server attentive, without being overbearing. Home made , warm mini croissant a nice touch, soon after seated. Delicious. My husband VERY pleased with his order - I'm afraid mine was over done & I should have said something at the time. Have been here once before - all was most satisfactory. Like eating in a beautiful old home, landscaping nicely done - and very calming, that time on a Sunday morning! A wedding was to take place - quiote a few held here, and we were impressed with all the work they put into each event - to make that couple feel special."
Dined on 9/22/2013
Dinner was great!! Very impressed.
I have lived here for about 20 years but have never been until this weekend. I will definetely be going back. We had a room to ourselves-a party of 8. Our waiter was very attentive and had great suggestions for us. It was really a very good experience!"
Dined on 9/22/2013
Major disappointment. Who puts
blue cheese on an organic green salad without noting it clearly on the menu? We ordered a $90 bottle of wine that didn't get opened to breathe until after we'd finished cocktails. Wine glasses were pedestrian. Frankly so was the wine list except the 2009 Paraduxx that we ordered. When the server opened the wine, he put the cork on my bread plate! Crab spring roll tasted like carnival food. The only decent dish was my husband's small plate of tenderloin. House has virtually no insulation in the interior walls or anything to absorb food so you can hear the dinner conversation of the table across the room from you. Will not return."

I had chosen this spot to meet a
friend for her birthday dinner because it was convenient. My husband and I had been there a few times several years ago and had been underimpressed, but geography ruled. IT WAS FABULOUS! Our food was delicious, and very hot when approriate. It was gourmet, but not way out there. The service was fabulous. Jonathan was attentive, but not hovering. His suggestions were just right . We had a small room to ourselves and since we were having such a great time, that was just as well! My husband and I will definitely try it out again."

Tucked away in a Maryland suburb
is a historic house turned restaurant. It has been a staple in Olney, Maryland for a good number of years now. It is what you expect in a historic house, lots of charm and warm temperatures in the summer; cool in the winters. The food is worth the trip. Fresh salads and seafood, excellent beef dishes. The guest is greeted warmly, and the meal begins with homemade biscuits. I'm a coffee drinker and enjoy the fact that they make a fresh brew just for me when I arrive. The Inn is a welcome change to the typical Brass and Glass and fast-food restaurants popping up all around. Maryland needs more Chef-owned restaurants! But at least in Olney, Maryland they have one!"
Dined on 9/10/2013
Good online reservations, and
menus. It. Was the middle of a three day holiday and few were there at our time(4). We live in Bethesda and on this holiday the commute was easy, which makes the experience better. Despite the few attendees our server was not particularly attentive, long waits for food and check. Otherwise enjoyable."
Dined on 9/1/2013
The food left a lot to be desired.
My friend couldn't even eat the chicken which topped her salad. She was too polite to send it back but she said it was way overdone and she couldn't eat it and pushed it to the side. I imagine they couldn't help but notice when the waiter cleared the table that it wasn't even touched!! I hope so at least!! We went for lunch but the Inn seems much better suited for something like a wedding, it is a lovely place, but a bit too pretentious!!"

We had a group of nine family
members celebrating a birthday and appreciated being seated in a separate area that allowed us some privacy. Our waiter was knowledgeable and personable. At first, the teenagers in our group were a little concerned about finding something they would like on the menu but the hamburger under "small plates" was fantastic--and anything but small. Several people in our group got the crab spring rolls and thought they were excellent. The rest of our meals were also delicious. Brookeville Inn turned out to be a great choice for our family celebration."
Dined on 8/3/2013
I would definitely go here more
because the food is good, but the service is consistently irresponsibly slow. Just one example: I was there with a group of 15 recently. We had made reservations, and the organizer spoke to the manager a couple of weeks prior to the event specifically about making sure they had enough staff to accommodate us properly. She was assured they would make that a priority. It took us about an hour to get our food. It was another hour waiting before our checks came. We just had entrees -- no appetizers, no alcoholic drinks, and no dessert. Once I made a point of asking for the check very early in a meal because we were in a hurry: it came 20 minutes later. Unacceptable."
Dined on 8/2/2013
Quaint, friendly neighborhood
restaurant in an old farmhouse - think farm to table meets urban bistro Note: for a suburban neighborhood haunt, tough to beat - not a NYC hot spot, but not trying to be either - refreshing! Best dishes of the evening - Appetizer: Maine Diver Scallops - grilled to perfection with a light dijonaise sauce on the side Entree: Maryland Crab Cakes - pan sautéed with just enough binder to hold them together - fabulous Dessert: Champagne Sorbet with Fresh Fruit - feather light and pallete cleansing"

We went the Brookeville Farms for
the first time Sunday. It was quiet and not very busy, except for a wedding reception outside. We were seated in a small quaint room that was very charming. We waited for over 15 minutes for service and I had to go ask a passing bus boy to find us a waiter and to get some water. Ten minutes later the waiter appears and then disappears. He was polite and finally took our order. That was virtually the last time we saw him until the check came. The bus boy was the real waiter and he was rarely seen to refill water or to get coffee. When the check came the pen had no ink and I had to go and find the bus boy again so I could sign the charge. I will say the food was very good. Well prepared and very tasty."

Took my in-laws for Father's day
dinner, not knowing that my MIL has been before with a group. 5pm reservation, so there were not many people there yet. Food was excellent, although I had to send my lamb back because it was over-cooked, but the replacement was fine. Absolutely loved the crab spring roll! One issue with sitting outside on the patio is that it is near some of the A/C compressors, so there was constant hum in the background - but not enough to affect conversation. Also, the patio is much more casual than the inside dining - iron tables & chairs, no table cloths. The wait-staff was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely return."

Appetizers were outstanding but out meat dishes were overdone and side dish was not recognizable. It looked like they mixed onions, mushrooms and what ever else was left over. The taste was quite unpleasant. We did have a late reservation and were unavoidably delayed and they were gracious about the late seating. We might try again earlier in the evening should the opportunity arise."

This was my second visit to
Brookeville Farms. I went with a friend for brunch/lunch. I was concerned that our service might not be great as there was a wedding that day, and though the kitchen seemed a little slow, the service overall was excellent. Food was fresh and very well prepared. Portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. The only thing I would caution diners about is the ambiance: don't expect a trendy place. It's a comfortable space, but chic it isn't. It is a great place to meet a friend for a chat over an unhurried meal."

At a time where quality
restaurants are being replaced by national fast food chains, it is wonderful to find a place that has it all--a beautiful setting, great food, attentive service, and quiet (no loud kids screaming). As a plus this restaurants is affordable and not difficult to get a reservation. We loved the option of small plates so there is room for their fabulous desserts."

The state has slowed down Iowa City's plans for red-light cameras, and other Iowa communities may also confront roadblocks to using traffic-enforcements cameras.
A divided City Council early this year OK'd the use of the cameras and expected them to be up by this fall. But then the Iowa Department of Transportation said it wanted more traffic data on intersections marked for monitoring that include state routes, such as Burlington and Dodge streets and Highway 6.
Collecting the crash history, traffic and speed counts and other information the DOT wants may take until the spring, said John Yapp, Iowa City transportation planner. And then the city will have to await word from the DOT. So even if approval is given, the cameras could go up a year later than expected.
Other Iowa communities interested in red-light or speed cameras, and even those like Cedar Rapids with cameras already running, may face similar obstacles after the state this summer implemented written guidelines for the use of the cameras on the DOT-governed primary highway system, which includes interstate, U.S. and state highways.
One central Iowa town is even suing the DOT over the denial of its request for speed cameras.
The more rigorous state guidelines are an example that four years after the Iowa Supreme Court ruled traffic-enforcement cameras are constitutional, the technology remains controversial.
What do you think? Have your views on red-light and speed cameras changed since their installation? How do you feel about them today?
Still dont agree with them. Really dont agree with shortening the yellow light times either,just so more tickets can be handed out! Thats a scam!
Please tell us your basis for the claim that yellow light times have been shortened. I have not noticed that.
Never been ticketed by one, but I don't agree with their use, especially the trick speed camera around the H avenue area on 380 where the limit shortly thereafter goes back to 60. Furthermore, I avoid doing business in and supporting communities that profit from them such as Cedar Rapids.
Came here to make the same comment about that speedcam on the J Avenue bridge.
Speedcamera lovers; please explain how a speedcam located AFTER all the curves on the north side of downtown, mere hundreds of feet before the increased speed limit sign is there for safety and not just a money grab?
What I expect is that eventually the 2 sets of cameras on I-380 will be coordinated to capture one's average speed from one set of cameras to the next. That will really reveal how fast one drove through the worst of the curves.
So you're not disputing that the aforementioned speedcam is anything but a money grab?
Initially I felt that the red light and speed cameras seemed to have the positive effect of lowering speeds on the interstate and making people around town more conscious of coming to a stop at red lights. Now however, I see drivers on the interstate passing at well over the posted speed limit, and often with some attitude while doing so. I also see a lot of people doing less slowing and little stopping at unmonitored intersections lately.
Finally, I still believe that the cameras are contrary to the protections guaranteed by the US Constitution. And I believe that this is the question that lawmakers are wrestling with when they work to remove or prohibit these cameras.
Even after recently getting a speeding ticket from a speed camera, I still have no problem with these cameras. My main reason for this is that anyone who gets a ticket (including me) can only blame themselves for it. When you enter a city that has these cameras, there is a sign saying that traffic laws are photo enforced. When you approach a speed limit or red light that is controlled by a camera, another sign is posted that it is photo enforced. So, as long as you pay attention while driving, you should never get a ticket from a camera.
I do have a bit of a problem with the mobile units that are disguised, but that isn't much different than when a police car hides behind an overpass or something for a speed trap. Just keep your eyes open and you should be just fine.
As long as speed limits are reasonable and clearly marked I have no problem with cameras or hidden or unmarked police cars, the more the better. The same for traffic lights. Obeyance of the law should not be based on the likelihood of detection. If I'm behind the wheel, or allow another driver behind the wheel in the case of cameras, I'm responsible, no one else, and inattention is no excuse. Reasonable speed limits are posted for the safety of everyone. If I get a ticket I won't like it but I'm not going to try to place the blame elsewhere and whine. ( "Speed traps" along with kangaroo courts crafted to take advantage of people simply for the purpose of revenue rather than public safety is another matter. That's a form of extortion.)
"Obeyance of the law should not be based on the likelihood of detection."
"Slower Traffic Keep Right" is also a traffic law, but I see folks violating that law with impunity all the time. Heck, they even get all agitated and start flipping you off if you try to remind them of it.
I'm thinking Cedar Rapids needs a camera to write tickets for this. Based on what I've witnessed, they'd make a fortune, and mostly off locals.

Two weeks to the day after being swallowed up at a twelve-story tall sand dune in northwest Indiana, six-year-old Nathan Woessner was able to go home. It was Friday July 12, when the Sterling, Illinois, boy was buried under eleven-feet of sand for more than three hours. Rescuers believe an air pocket helped save his life. Originally listed in critical condition, doctors say he improved rapidly. He was transferred out of University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital last Tuesday, and left the rehab facility at La Rabida Children's Hospital in Chicago this past Friday. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore says Mount Baldy in Michigan City remains closed until further notice, and the closure also includes the parking lot, trails and beach area.

Sports Sound Off-Women in the NFLCHARLOTTE, N.C.--Terrance Bates and Derek James sound off about a female kicker that tried out for the National Football League. Lauren Silberman injured her leg and was only able to kick twice during the tryout. Both of her kicks went less than 20 yards. She has never played football but played soccer in college. She tried out at the New York and New Jersey Scouting Combine. Do you think she deserves another shot? Do you think more women should tryout for the NFL?

Being on the flight deck of a plane being refueled is impressive too. The tanker people are totally professinal and clear concise comms between boom operator and pilot recieving fuel is critical. All too much of our ability to project power and to react to world events revolves around the men and women crewing those tankers.

Vionline gave a more in-depth album review than Rolling Stone.
Greg K is the truth!
Try one out on your neighbor's car.
Everybody knows Greg K is the biggest member in the band.
You might want to be careful.
I've heard that if you like CC some parts of your body will rotten and fall to the ground.
The Offspring return to US TV as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live's outdoor stage this Monday, June 25 at 12:00 Midnight/11:00 Central on ABC in the USA.
This thread is in dire need of a positive review:
What is this shit? Oh, is this shit.
They gave a higher grade to the record than I give to their review.
So I winz!
The Spanish touch, the middle eastern riffs, the fast paced tempo, the-tongue-in-cheek, the catchy melodies and the sweet backing vocals.
This album has every facet of The Offspring.
Mommy, can't I have both?
OC Guns.
Best stoned/drunk song eva?
I noticed the inclusion of a certain key operated instrument though.
So that disqualifies them.
In my opinion, Dirty Magic got a penis enhancement.
Slim Pickens is single material because it makes me dance.
Noodles totally messed up the ending of Slim Pickens solo.
He's all like: :o
Slim Pickens has a huuge Bad Religion feel to it, especially the verses.
Reaally swweet little tight solos on both of these songs.
Quality backing vocals all around. Love the way Dexter...
Dividing by Zero solo sounds like something out of self-titled. Also some nice "CGMHAY" effects on it.
Slim Pickens solo is awwwwsssome. Noodles luv!
Dexter voice is pretty yummy too.

This version of Zam Wesell was released individually carded during the Vintage Collection in February 2011. Zam Wesell could be seen in at the beginning of Attack Of The Clones, while trying to assassinate Senator Amidala.
The figure has 14 joints, including ball-joints in the neck, the shoulders, the elbows, the waist, both knees and both ankles. The wrists are swivel jointed. The figure stands OK by itself, but it might take some time to balance it out right. Unfortunately, the peg holes in both feet aren't very deep, and you might have trouble getting it onto a stand. Hasbro included a blaster, a second head, a removable helmet with attachable binoculars, a sniper rifle and two plastic veils. The small blaster fits quite well into the holster and into both hands. The sniper rifle unfortunately isn't such a great fit, but with patience Zam Wesell can be positioned to hold it somewhat OK. The helmet fits quite well onto the head, and the attachable binoculars can be positioned so that they "hover" right in front of Zam Wesell's eyes. The head can easily be pulled off the figure and be replaced with the second "Clawdite" head. The two included veils attach nicely on the helmet, and fit overall ok. The holster and the soft-plastic skirt are part of the figure and not removable.
The paint job on Bounty Hunter Zam Wesell is fantastic, with subtle dirt on the entire figure's outfit, giving it a "used" look. The purple color tone works also quite well and seems to match the movie outfit. The 14 points of articulation work overall pretty well and all the included accessories are "functional" (except the sniper rifle might cause some issues). The inclusion of a second head is fantastic and lets collectors display Zam Wesell while trying to assassinate Padmé, during the chase, or after she was caught. Zam Wesell's outfit is nicely detailed. The inclusion of a cut-off arm would have been the icing on the cake, but the figure is a brilliant update to previous versions nonetheless, and can easily be recommended.
