George Lucas Called It Before Wolf Blitzer
Watching the Obama victory celebrations from around the country (and the
world) on TV last night, I had a profound sense of deja vu. I couldn't put
my finger on why (had we elected some African-American president back in the
80s, maybe?) until this morning, when it finally came to me.... (For optimally inspiring viewing, press "play" below.)

The Filthy Thievin' Bastards were originally a side project put together by members of the Swingin' Utters. Taking influence from folk-rock, as well as Celtic drunkards the Pogues, Johnny Bonnel and Darius Koski (both of the Utters) wrote an EP's worth of songs in 2000 and eventually released it as Our Fathers Sent Us on TKO Records. The two enlisted former Camper Van Beethoven guitarist Greg Lisher, producer Randy Burk (who ended up on drums), and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes singer Spike Slawson (who ended up on bass) to join the band and made an album that impressed both critics and listeners alike. The next year, the lineup reunited to record a full-length album, this time including Red Meat's Max Butler on mandolin. The result, A Melody of Retreads and Broken Quills, appeared at the end of 2001 on BYO Records; My Pappy Was a Pistol followed four years later. ~ Bradley Torreano, Rovi

Breakfast Topic: When do you start working up a profession?
I'm not entirely sold on leveling trade skills in World of Warcraft. By leveling up professions you can create armor, weapons, and goods that theoretically benefit your character. With a little luck, you can even make some money from your trade. It usually takes a major investment maximize your professions and get the goods that you want. In most cases I prefer to wait until I've reached the level cap to start professions.
There are two exceptions to this. Whenever I roll a character on a server that's new to me, I invest in skinning and mining and sell the materials for gold for my mount and equipment. I used to level fishing too. Until Blizzard added the aggressive mobs on the
The other exception was my Hunter. I leveled Engineering along with my character in order to make bullets. This was beneficial for gameplay, and I didn't feel like I was wasting gold for skill points. Aside from these two exceptions, I usually just wait until I'm level 70 and buy or farm materials for my chosen profession. I've even been known to switch professions when necessary.
I do also tend to level up First Aid, even on my healers. It's very helpful when out of mana. At this point I just skip Fishing and Cooking altogether.

On either side of Cochran Springs Road, there are forests of half-trees. Snapped by the massive storm that barreled through here on April 27, 2011, thousands of trunks stood here for a year like the chimneys of a burned city.
Now those trees are sprouting. New leaves have emerged from the broken trunks, covering the hills with a blanket of foliage.
Freshly built frame and log houses sit here and there along the road, one with a metal roof that shines like a newly minted penny. Some yards are still fields of dirt. Others are perfectly manicured, with seams still visible between the squares of fresh sod.
"I like it when I drive up 431 and see something growing," said Denise Rucker, head of the area's biggest storm recovery agency. "It was a nice surprise. For the first six or seven months, it looked like a war zone."
Click here to see a slideshow of aerial photos from the storm zone.
Click here for more storm anniversary stories.
For Rucker, director of the Calhoun County Long-Term Recovery Committee, the greenery in the storm zone is both a symbol and a result of the progress that's been made in the half-mile-wide band of storm damage that stretches across northern Calhoun County. People wouldn't be able to see all that green, she said, without the months of work local residents put in, cleaning up storm debris.
"It's been a lot of work, but progress is beginning to happen," Rucker said.
About 200 homes here were destroyed and nine local residents killed in the April 27 storm. Local officials said 1,401 parcels of property in Calhoun County were damaged that day. Since then, Rucker said, 100 houses have been built by volunteers alone, and dozens more repaired after extensive damage. Most of those houses were built for people who didn't have insurance before the storm – not an uncommon thing in this rural community, where many older residents lived in paid-off homes or on inherited land. Others had only enough insurance to pay off the homes that were destroyed.
Only 14 have outstanding requests for help with construction, Rucker said. But even those who have been helped are a long way from where they were before the storm.
Still here
Paul Heath is one of those people. For 24 of his 25 years, Heath lived with his parents in a house where U.S. 431 met Old Gadsden Highway. The storm moved that house off its foundation, ripped open the roof and collapsed three of the four walls. Today, Heath's family lives in a double-wide trailer on the site of their old house.
He doesn't expect things to change, much.
"FEMA gave us $30,000, because we weren't insured," he said. "We thought about leaving, but everywhere we looked, you couldn't find anything less than $40,000. So we just stayed."
Across the street, a neighbor lives on a bare, red-dirt hill in an RV with a tattered Confederate battle flag planted in front of it. Heath said the neighbor wants to rebuild, but chose an RV over a trailer in case he decides to bug out.
"I don't think he's decided whether he wants to stay," Heath said.
No matter how much rebuilding is done, Sid Nichols said, it won't bring back the community that was there.
"You can replace stuff, but you can't replace yourstuff," said Nichols, director of missions for the Calhoun Baptist Association, which has built 15 new houses and repaired perhaps 50 more.
Nichols said people outside the storm zone underestimate the emotional impact of the changes to the landscape.
"When I was a kid, I used to spend hours playing under a pecan tree over a sand bank," he said. That tree was blown down in a storm years ago, and Nichols said "it will never be the same."
Multiply that experience by a thousand cherished locations, Nichols said, and you've got the storm zone.
No one knows exactly how many people have left these communities for good. Rucker estimates that at least 5 percent of the population in storm-affected areas has moved on. Some may have gone to live with relatives, and simply put down roots in their new communities. Others just decided they don't want to live in a place with so many bad memories, and so much work to do, she said.
All charity work
Even the laws of supply and demand don't work quite right here.
In the wake of the storm, contractors expected an uptick in business, a much-needed relief after years of a housing slump. After all, hurricanes have been a boon to builders in past years.
It didn't work that way for Sam Almaroad, owner of Sam Almaroad Construction. He built just one house for pay. The owners had insurance, and could afford it. He oversaw the construction of 13 homes by volunteers for the First Baptist Church of Williams.
"People would come from out of state and volunteer to work on the homes," he said. "And there would be one builder like myself who would look over that construction until it was completed."
Josh Moses, owner of Moses Construction and president of the Home Builders Association of Greater Calhoun County, said he did "basically all charity work."
Both contractors said they did see a little bump from customers whose houses weren't destroyed, just in need of repair.
"Roofers got a lot of repair work," Moses said.
Waiting for shelter
Parked in front of Express Pawn on U.S. 431, on a trailer, is a giant, white metal globe with a door on it. It looks like an alien spaceship, but it's really a storm shelter, meant to be buried in someone's yard.
Pawn shop owner Sonny Magouirk says it's being sold by a Golden Springs resident who wanted to upgrade to a bigger shelter. And it's a steal, he said, at $4,500. Most go for more like $6,000, he said.
After the storms, most victims pledged that they'd get a storm shelter for their next house. For many, that dream foundered on high prices and red tape.
After April 27, the federal government offered grants for 100 Calhoun County residents to build shelters, said Tammy Baines, spokeswoman for the Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency.
So far, only 76 people have filled out applications, Baines said.
But it's more than a case of flagging resolve. The paperwork involved in the storm shelter grant may have been too slow and burdensome for some residents who are rebuilding now, Baines said. Before the storm, there were already more than 100 people on a waiting list for storm shelter assistance.
"We called some of the people on the list, and some of them had decided to just move on without a grant," Baines said.
A clear warning
In the wake of the deadly Palm Sunday tornado of the 1990s, local residents campaigned for storm siren coverage for all of rural Alabama. Nobody should miss a storm warning, siren advocates said.
In 2011, the state may have faced a different problem – too many alerts. A report released in January by the Tornado Recovery Action Council noted that many Alabamians ignored the alerts because they were so used to hearing them, even when skies seemed clear.
This year, said Baines of the EMA, Calhoun County is implementing a "polygon" warning system that will activate sirens only in areas where there's actually a weather warning. Before the polygon system came along, the EMA activated all county sirens wherever there was an alert anywhere in the county – so Oxford might be taking cover when a storm is headed to Piedmont.
"With the new system, if you hear a siren, you know you're in danger and you need to seek shelter," she said.
The second year
In the days after the storm, a woman in the Angel community found a collection of papers in her yard – including years-old receipts from a Tuscaloosa pharmacy.
It was one of dozens of incidents of personal or business paperwork turning up more than 100 miles from a destroyed house or business. And it highlighted one of the problems Rucker would like to work on in year two.
"We found out that there are a lot of things businesses could be doing better," she said. "You need to have backups of important information, and not on the site of your business."
Rucker said her organization and the EMA would spend the year holding classes to teach both business owners and the general public how to respond to the storms.
Among the lessons: Have a post-storm plan. Back up your paperwork. Get a generator and know how to use it.
There are also lessons for local governments, Rucker said. Cities and counties need to have cleanup contracts in place before disaster hits, she said, so recovery crews can start work immediately.
Calhoun County hired contractors within a week of the tornado's strike to sweep its wreckage away.
State and federal officials told local government leaders that they could count on the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Alabama Emergency Management Agency to cover most of the cost of the cleanup. But the county is still waiting to be reimbursed for a portion of the cleanup even though about six months have passed since contractors finished clearing the landscape of debris.
Calhoun County is still waiting on $1.46 million from the federal government and $704,070 from the state. The county has received $4.5 million – roughly 75 percent – of the money it expects from the federal government.
The state has delivered no money to the county, officials said.
Rucker said it may be hard to get all the storm's lessons to sink in. After all, Alabamians have had plenty of chances to get the tornado thing down pat.
There was the 1974 Super Outbreak that killed dozens of Alabamians and dropped a tornado in nearby Cherokee County. And a few years later, a funnel cloud that flattened the Sky City shopping center in Oxford. There was Palm Sunday 1994, and a twister in 2000 along a similar path that crushed a whole neighborhood near Piedmont.
And there was April 27, 2011.
Every time, people said they'd never get caught off guard again. But every time, someone did.
"Nobody ever thinks it's going to happen to them," Rucker said.

A Bloomfield resident was arrested Saturday after allegedly severing the break lines of an ex-girlfriend's truck, planting a homemade bomb device beneath the hood of the truck and leaving a threatening note on the windshield in February.Hugh Garner Jr. was arrested by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and charged with arson, a Class B felony; intimidation, a Class C felony; and criminal recklessness, a Class A misdemeanor. On Feb. 1, a woman called police after suspecting her truck had been tampered with. The woman found a threatening note on the truck windshield. She noticed the truck sounded like it was running roughly after starting it. Later, while attempting to break while driving, her breaks did not function. She was able to stop the car and called police. No one was hurt. When firefighters and police popped the truck's hood, they found a Pepsi bottle filled with what was later confirmed to be gasoline. The Pepsi bottle was wedged near the exhaust manifold with one end of a spark plug shoved into the bottle. A Bloomington Police Department detective investigated the case. However, police were unsuccessful in obtaining DNA evidence from the Pepsi bottle.The ex-girlfriend implicated Garner in police interviews. Garner originally stated in police interviews that he was not in Bloomington when the incident occurred. The break in the case came when police obtained a search warrant for Garner's cell phone and discovered he was in the area of the truck at the time of the crime, BPD Sgt. Lucas Tate said. — Colleen Sikorski

1 December 2001
Study: OPS delinquent
Citing a U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) report that documents dozens of statutes and administrative recommendations that have gone unimplemented for more than a decade by the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., has introduced legislation that sets forth explicit requirements for pipeline operations (HR-144).
- Permits states to inspect pipelines, conduct investigations, and enforce federal pipeline laws and regulations
- Requires operators to analyze risks to facilities situated in high-density population areas or environmentally sensitive areas and prepare a hazard mitigation plan
- Provides increased civil penalties for violating federal standards
An OPS spokesman refused to discuss the GAO report or proposed legislation with InTech.
Major pipeline accidents increased to 280 in 1998, from 190 in 1989, for an annual growth rate of more than 4%, according to a study first released in May 2000, then updated in September 2001, by the GAO. Further, the OPS had not implemented 22 statutory requirements or 39 recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board. OPS has implemented six of the 22 requirements in the past 18 months, has closed five requirements superseded by subsequent statutes, and should implement 10 of the remaining 11 requirements by late 2002.
"The Safety Board is encouraged," GAO investigators wrote, "by OPS's recent efforts to improve its responsiveness but remains concerned about the amount of time OPS has been taking to implement recommendations. OPS continues to have the lowest rate of any transportation agency for implementing recommendations from the Safety Board."
The incomplete statutory items include:
- A 1988 requirement that OPS establish standards for development and maintenance of a nationwide pipeline inventory
- A 1988 requirement for establishment of an inspection program for offshore and navigable water pipelines
- A 1992 requirement that OPS establish criteria for identifying all pipeline facilities in high-density and environmentally sensitive areas within two years
OPS has responsibility for developing and administering the regulations governing almost 2.2 million miles of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines in the U.S.

Several of you have emailed asking for Thanksgiving outfit ideas...and this year I'm looking for the sartorial equivalent of comfort food. But I also want something pretty, dammit! I want to offset all of the hard and ugly of Fall 2013. So whether you've been dealing with your own form of #takethatbreastcancer (and OMG I hope not) or just had a crazy few months....these are for you.
A Glamorous, Long-Sleeved, Maxi
Nothing adds drama like a long, sweeping skirt. I'm picturing myself regally entering the dining room: red lipstick firmly in place, shoulders back, one (sparse) eyebrow perfectly arched, my patchy, bird-like hair - UGH!! SEE? It's why I need the glamorous dress. Such effortless elegance. Besides, these things are crazy-comfortable.
[Dresses 1, 2, 6 and 8 are nursing-friendly. Dresses 4 - 8 would work for pregnancy.]
1. Cavatina Maxi Dress from Anthropologie, $148
I think her pose says it all. I'm willing to bet that this is nursing friendly, too.
2. LA Made Jersey Maxi Dress, $105
Awfully boobalicious, I know. Kinda why I like it. A plunging v-neck (and artful ruching) does wonders for hiding a poochy stomach. I'd layer it over a pretty bra and probably pin the neckline a touch, or layer it over a lacy cami.
3. Fairbanks Maxi Dress From Anthropologie, $148
I love the sophisticated art teacher vibe here.
4. Tart Off-the-shoulder Maxi Dress at Nordstroms, $148
Hey baby. My naked shoulder is distracting you from my poochy stomach.
5. Rachel Pally Stormy Dress, $248
For when you want to feel like a tall, statuesque goddess. Too pricey? Forever 21 has one that is similar...ish. Similarish.
6. Swell Siren Long Sleeve Maxi, $34
See the little bit of ruching over the pooch? Now that's what we like to see for Thanksgiving.
7. Mossimo Long Sleeve Maxi at Target, $35
Ok, I can see her nether regions...but the reviewers like it. I suspect it's just a lighting problem. Most of us don't want around backlit with our legs spread. Just sayin.
8. Three Dots Pleat Jersey Maxi Dress, $198
These long, swingy dresses make me feel like a princess. Or maybe a grecian goddess. In any case, Piperlime also has it in blue.

Compare NewEgg's return policy with that at legitimate customer-service oriented businesses such as Amazon, Target, and Nordstrom's.
NewEgg has lost my business forever, and the business of those who research this company before buying. There are better alternatives to NewEgg that are just as cheap and really care about their customers.

You must work at Newegg if you believe charging 15% for returning an unused item, still sealed in the original box, is justifiable or rationally related to any actual costs they incurred. These fees are a ripoff and have no business justification"
But I have learned to read return policies before ordering online...looks like YOU don't.
I do a lot of shopping on sites I trust to avoid problems like this. It also helps to be SURE you are ordering what you really want before hitting "submit order."
If it makes you feel better, you can believe I really work for Newegg. I've now been accused of working for over forty companies. Better see why they're not paying me.

New Rule Bans Ga. Toll Booth Charity
ATLANTA (AP) - No more paying it forward for the driver behind you in the Georgia 400 toll plaza.
A new rule from the State Road and Tollway Authority bans drivers from paying the toll for the person behind them in line.
That became something of a local tradition over the last 20 years. Some drivers had recently complained that cashiers were pocketing the extra 50 cents rather than using it to pay for the next driver.
The deputy executive director of the State Road and Tollway Authority, Bert Brantley, said at least six such complaints were received in the past few months.
The tolls collections are scheduled to end on Nov. 21.

Bittersweet Truffles
These delectable truffles make great holiday gifts. For pretty packing, look for mini foil or paper candy cups in the baking aisle of supermarkets or at specialty shops. While the truffles are still slightly soft, roll them in the desired coatings. Kids might like to help with this step.

Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
- 8 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Assorted coatings, such as crushed peppermint candies, toasted sweetened shredded coconut, finely chopped pistachios or other nuts, and cocoa powder
Step 1
Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; pour over chocolate. Let sit 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Refrigerate (uncovered) until somewhat firm, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Spoon mounds (2 level teaspoons each) of chocolate mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Return to refrigerator 15 minutes.
Step 3
With your hands, roll mounds into balls. Place desired coatings in shallow bowls; roll balls in coatings, pressing in and covering completely. Return to baking sheet; chill until set, about 30 minutes.

Diner Reviews
I was hoping this place was closer
to the ART since it is listed as Harvard Square but it would be a half hour walk. The ambiance is wonderful, kind of romantic, intimate pub. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. Bread service particularly good with a fresh crusty rolls and crackers, served with both good olive oil and a lentil dip. Celery soup was outstanding, served piping hot with a horse radish cream. My entree was very good, scallops cooked perfectly with an interesting preparation. My husband liked his entree less, braised pork, that came out in a wide soup bowl full of saucy pork and veggies, but he felt like it all tasted the same. His seemed like pub food, though not priced that way. Smallish entree portions."

I had a wonderful experience at
Ten Tables this past Friday evening. We made a late reservation at 9 pm for dinner, and the restaurant was as lively as if it were actually dinner time. I was fully impressed with each dish we ordered, most notably the boar sausage appetizer, the scallops with spicy carrot puree, and the goat cheesecake. The cheesecake in particular will make me come back to Ten Tables as soon as possible! The table next to mine did the chef's tasting menu, which seemed like it was well worth the money. I will likely take this approach next time for the smaller portions and greater variety of dishes."

Had been wanting to try 10 Tables
for months and finally made it there. Ordered the Chef's Tasting Menu with wine pairings. Excellent value, food was inventive but not too precious and pours were generous on the wine pairing."
Dined on 3/6/2014
Everyone raves about this place,
so had to try it. We did the Sunday pre-fix menu which was surprisingly diverse, including veggie options. Soups and salads were very good. Steak was chewy which was disappointing. But, dessert made up for it! Atmosphere is ok, not sure I would call it romantic or anything. Its below level so no big windows or anything. And tables are pretty tight."
Dined on 3/2/2014
We chose Ten Tables for a romantic
date, on the recommendation of friends. It was our first time at the restaurant. The servers were very friendly and prompt, and inspired us to try the chef's tasting menu. It was delightful, creative and delicious. My date cannot eat gluten and she was delighted to find so many gluten free options on the menu, and our tasting menu was entirely gluten free. We had a really special night and I would recommend it to my friends as well."
Dined on 3/1/2014
I've been to Ten Tables in
Cambridge twice, and in Provincetown once. Always enjoyable. This most recent visit was lovely, the food was very good, and the service good and friendly. My one complaint is that we really felt rushed. Our reservation was at 5:45, and the place became pretty crowded shortly after we arrived. Still, when you have a reservation you should expect that you can linger a bit. I know it's a small place and on a Saturday night turnover is brisk, but still, I should be able to take a breath between courses. This is why you don't go to a restaurant on Saturday night, I suppose. Overall, would recommend--on a weeknight!"

The shrimp with chorizo appetizer
was exquisite, and the steak frites excellent as usual."
Dined on 2/28/2014
We enjoyed ten tables (on Cragie
St, Cambridge) for a special night out dinner. They had more like 17 tables :-) The restaurant was not packed on our Thursday evening visit. I was the first one there at 6pm and sat at the bar until my wife arrived. The bar is also cozy and if you are lucky it would be a nice spot to eat at the bar, but maybe 6 seats available. I did find that the breeze will reach you on these unusually cold nights if you sit at the bar, by the door. They had a great porter on tap, which was kind of like a black IPA. And while we reviewed the extensive wine list, it was a craft beer type of night. Porter for me, Lagunitas IPA for her. The appetizers and entrees were wonderful, coming from a menu that changes daily."
Dined on 2/27/2014
Informal feel to 10 tables, but
the food was very classy and delicious, making for a great experience overall. The food was prepared as ordered and was unusually crafted so there were pleasant surprises for most of the dishes. We had some vegetarians and some who had steak or chicken. All around raves. The desserts were outstanding. It was better than Rialto where we dined the night before!s"
Dined on 2/23/2014
We didn't have enough time for the

It's our first time at this

This is a lovely, intimate, and

A small menu but with a good
listings of foods that you would want to choose from, whether it be seafood, meats of vegan. In addition a pris fixe chef choice tasting menu is offered with the food tailored to the guest's taste of food and/or allergies. Have tried it in the past with several guests and, it has been a satisfying experience. The wait staff provided an excellent service. The wine list is small but good."
Dined on 2/4/2014
The food was excellent. Service
was a bit awkward and disjointed. I wasn't entirely sure who was our actual waiter/waitress, as many different people checked in. The awkwardness had to do with how close the tables were, frequently the servers helping the tables on either side of us felt like they were in our laps. Might be better to have fewer tables since they are so close together. It's been a few years since we went to the JP location, but I feel like I liked the ambiance a bit more. That said, food was spectacular and the Cambridge Sour was a fantastic cocktail! The detailed parking information on the website was much appreciated."

We had a delicious meal, with
great service in a peaceful, cozy ambiance. We did need to take an earlier reservation (5:45 PM on a Saturday) but got in with a week's notice. All around the food was well-prepared and interesting, from flat iron steak to scallops to pork shank. We received competent direction with the wine, as well, and our waitress was attentive without hovering. We will return!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
We enjoyed the meal a great deal,
but the room was tight and a little too loud. We ate late and as the room cleared out the noise level decreased significantly, but it was quite loud when we first arrived and conversation was difficult."
Dined on 1/25/2014
We had a wonderful dinner here to
celebrate our son's birthday. My husband had the three course prix fixe dinner which he loved and I had the 'Gulf of Maine hake with roasted fingerlings' which was cooked perfectly. My son had the scallops - they disappeared within minutes of their arrival. We shared an appetizer of duck and pork pate - it was excellent - and the men each had the bean and bacon soup, a good choice on a bitter cold night. I had the chocolate terrine with salt toffee ice cream for dessert - so rich and good - and I always have a cup of their outstanding cappuccino; it is the best in Boston and a wonderful way to end a fabulous meal. The service was excellent - the wait staff is well-informed, unruffled and attentive."

I enjoyed that there is an
affordable vegetarian tasting menu even though we ultimately ordered a la carte. There are not a lot of vegetarian options, but everything was wonderful and thoughtfully made, which I really appreciated."

My girlfriend and I came here for
the vegetarian tasting menu. While I generally don't like surprises this was definitely a pleasant one! The appetizer, soup, main course and dessert were all delightful, and well worth the price. In addition, the organic wine pairing worked perfectly with all the courses (they have a 2-for-1 special on the pairing on weekday nights). The atmosphere was charming and quiet, and the service, impeccable. A dinner at Ten Tables is definitely a great way to celebrate a special occasion!"

We used to like this place back
when it was Craigie St. The interior hasn't changed much and happily, the food remains reliably good. It's a cozy space, with tables close together, so it can be a bit noisy depending on the diners at the next table. The service is attentive and professional, well-versed re: the menu and wine list, and generally unhurried. The food is beautifully presented. Some dishes shine more than others. Surprisingly, the greens with apple and blue cheese is a winning starter that we normally might have passed over, but it is outstanding in its combination of flavors and presentation. Recommended for a grown-up date night."

Can't stress enough how good the
food was in terms of taste, presentation at a very reasonable price. Absolutely Amazing"
Dined on 1/11/2014
So the service we got wasn't the
best, and if you're not in the mood for wine then you're kind of out of luck here. However, from a food perspective this place was really good. I had the bean and ham soup to start and my main course was the salad. The food packed so much flavor and was excellent. My colleague had the chicken dish and compared it to only one other chicken dish that he ever had that was outstanding. If you want a special occasion location, or just want to eat delicious food, then check this place out. It says 10 tables because it is very quaint inside."

This was our first time dining
here. The atmosphere and service is comfortable. I had the pork shank the meat fell off the bone tender and the vegetables and sauce it was served with made the flavor mix wonderful. My nephew had the sirloin which we debated might have been one of the best ever. It was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The pommel frites it is served with are amazing."

My daughter recommended this great
restaurant. As a party of 5 We had the Sunday three course special, we ordered different things and got to try a lot of different things by sharing. From start to finish every morsel was a bite of pleasure... Was a great way to celebrate our birthdays"

My husband and I go on special
occasions because we love the chef menu and wine pairing (so we need a car service to bring us home). This year we did the New Years tasting and wine pairing. The 3 course meal was amazing along with the portion size. We will definitely be back for the 2 for 1 paring tuesday! If you want to feel like a foodie but without being a foodie, come to Ten Table, your taste buds will thank you."
Dined on 12/31/2013
It was a freezing night, so the
coziness of the place was quite welcoming. Service was good and accommodating, but the pace was unnecessarily fast. Had the Chef's Tasting in a vegan version --- 4 courses, all very good to excellent, especially a Kale & Cippolini Risotto. In the basement of an apartment building, the look and feel of the place does not manage to rise above that. Happy to go back anytime, but only because the food is A+."

Nice ambiance and atmosphere. My
problem is the quality of the food for how much we paid. We went for NY's Eve dinner and did the $75 fixed menu, which is a standard 3 course menu, w a $39 bottle of wine. One dish in particular was lovely; it was the gnocchi which was done more creatively in comparison in how it's usually prepared. The pork shank, the halibut entrees were fine, but meddled with forgettable vegetables (a sea of them too that were under both dishes; we both agreed added nothing to the taste and texture and balance to the dishes). Again, the food is fine, but not for its price point. The meal above came to $253 (including a 20% tip). IF you're going to spend that much, go to Craigie on Main/some place that will blow you away."

We always enjoy Ten Tables, and
New Year's Eve was especially nice. Thank you."

We hadn't been able to eat at this
restaurant until last Tuesday, NYE, and we are glad to say everything was wonderful!"

We like 10 Tables for special
occasions, because the food is almost always very, very good and the service attentive without being intrusive. The Cambridge location can get noisy when it fills up, and parking can be a slight challenge, but the food and drinks are worth it. In four visits (3 to Cambridge, 1 to JP) in as many years, we have rarely experienced a disappoiment."
Dined on 12/29/2013
We enjoyed our dinner, especially
the butternut gnocchi, but had to eat fast and leave as it was easily 80 degrees in the restaurant. I'm not sure I'd go back as it was so uncomfortable inside."
Dined on 12/27/2013
My girlfriend and I fist
experienced Ten Tables (Cambridge) in 2011. We were enamored with the wine, the ambiance and the Portuguese Fisherman's Stew we had ordered. Ten Tables became an Instant favorite. This past weekend, I took my girlfriend to Ten Tables again, it is there that she became my fiance. Ten Tables will always have a place in our hearts."

We continue to appreciate our

Ten Tables has become my go-to
restaurant for an interesting meal. This time we got the chef's tasting with wine pairings, and it was great. Each dish was wonderful. Four great courses with matched wine at each course and the damage was under $100 each including tax and tip."

Faculty: Leonard Riskin and Rachel Wohl
Riskin and Wohl have developed "Taking STOCK" a practical technique that enables conflict resolution professionals to continually integrate mindfulness into their work.
Lawyers, judges, mediators, and managers aspire to provide high-quality service and to derive satisfaction in the process, but often face barriers to fulfilling such aspirations. Stress, our fast-paced lives, conflicting demands, self-doubt and other challenges distract us from bringing our whole selves to bear upon our work and our lives, even when we are trying to do so. The added complication of dealing with conflict is associated with its own distracting welter of thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and habitual modes of reacting.
Mindfulness, a systematic method of paying attention, deliberately, in the moment, without judgment can help us gain awareness of our mental and emotional processes, our habitual reactions, and their manifestations in our mind, body, and breath. Such awareness opens the door to developing ourselves in ways that will enable us to perform better and to get more satisfaction from our work.
What you will learn:
Leonard L. Riskin, Chesterfield Smith Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and Visiting Professor at Northwestern University School of Law, previously served at the University of Missouri as director of the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution. A practicing mediator, he has taught both dispute resolution and mindfulness around the world. Professor Riskin has a J.D. from N.Y.U. and an LL.M. from Yale. He has published several books and numerous articles on dispute resolution (some dealing with "grids" of mediator orientations-facilitative-evaluative/broad-narrow), and several articles on the potential contributions of mindfulness to law and mediation practice.
Rachel Wohl is the director of MACRO, Maryland's Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office. She is a mediator and attorney who successfully designed and implemented a large-scale (700-person) collaborative process that catapulted Maryland to the forefront of the conflict resolution field. She cochaired the ABA Dispute Resolution Section's Task Force on Improving Mediation Quality and is a founding board member of an exciting new organization, Mediators Beyond Borders. Wohl received the Association for Conflict Resolution's Mary Parker-Follett Award for innovation. She has practiced meditation for over 17 years and has taught mindfulness courses at several law schools and in Scotland.

text: Last May I was given the green light to cover an event in West Dallas of a ground breaking ceremony. It was a celebration of an unlikely accomplishment. Students from Pinkston High School had successfully started an initiative to raise enough money to build a home for a fellow student, who had been injured just months before during a varsity football game. The unlikely aspect of the story is that they did it just 24 cents at a time. So here I was, camera in hand, capturing prominent people of DISD like Dr. Hinajosa and also Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert pushing shovels into the ground to commence the construction of this home. It was at that moment that I begun to realize the gravity of this story. (more…)

This topic has come up here recently [webmasterworld.com], and didn't get many replies then either. However, following a link in that thread to this one [webmasterworld.com] will lead you to a short thread on the topic which advises people to exclude bots from the B version. This technique would seem to require a redirect to a B page that would be off limits via robots.txt. Strictly speaking, that's not really cloaking. It might be safer, though.
Although I've never done a test myself to prove whether A/B testing is frowned on by the SE's, I've never heard any anecdotal evidence that it is.

Catch-22 (The Sixties in America)
The Work
Catch-22 is set on the imaginary island of Pianosa during World War II and focuses on Captain John Yossarian and his attempts to survive the fanatical lunacy of his bomber squadron's commanders long enough to get home. As the death toll rises, the quota of bombing missions required for home leave is repeatedly increased. By pleading insanity, Yossarian hopes to find a way out. However, his doctor quotes the infamous Catch-22: To get out of flying missions, a bombardier must plead insanity, but wanting to get out of flying missions is proof of sanity, so the minute a bombardier says he does not want to fly, he must. Yossarian is slow to realize the full implications of his predicament, but when he does, he has the courage to take the only definitive action still open to him: He heads for neutral Sweden.
Orr, a combat pilot and Yossarian's tent-mate and alter ego, also functions as the "alter hero" of the book. In Orr there is something of the real "prophet," for it is he who prepares the way for Yossarian. From the beginning, he is Yossarian's double, acting in many ways like the ego to Yossarian's id. Orr reacts objectively and rationally to their common predicament, while Yossarian behaves subjectively, whining, protesting, and acting moody. Orr is resourceful and cunning, living among his enemies in the guise of a shallow-minded joker while plotting his revenge; Yossarian has trouble getting beyond his own moods and emotions. The archvillain of the piece is Colonel Cathcart, model of robotlike conformity, always trying to adjust to the dictates of the bureaucracy and to avoid confrontations with officialdom. At the other extreme is the anonymous Soldier in White, the "arch-victim," bandaged from head to foot and kept alive by an endless recycling of body fluids. What begins as a grim joke—fluids excreted at one end are injected at the other—becomes a grotesque symbol of the mechanical regulation of human life: facelessness, self-containment, and the withdrawal and...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Hospital. Military hospital in Pianosa in which the novel opens and to which it periodically returns; it is the refuge to which Army Air Force captain John Yossarian, the protagonist, escapes whenever the stress of dealing with the war and "catch-22" overcomes him. The hospital operates as a symbolic representation of a haven from the madness of the outside world that the war has created. It is immediately evident, however, that the hospital's own activities are every bit as inane and insane as the world from which Yossarian is fleeing. Feigning an indefinable liver ailment, Yossarian utilizes the hospital for many of his shenanigans—such as censoring the correspondence of enlisted men erratically, impersonating other patients, and playing jokes on enlisted men.
The hospital serves as a microcosm of the larger world of war—replete with absurdity upon absurdity. The "craziness" of the hospital is exemplified in patients such as the "Soldier in White," who has interchangeable intravenous tubes connected to his elbows and groin, and the "Soldier Who Saw Everything Twice." These absurdities reflect the nonsense outside the hospital that terrifies Yossarian, who is convinced that people are trying to kill him.
*Pianosa (pee-ah-NOH-sah). Tiny island in Tuscan archipelago, off the west-central coast of Italy, near Elba and Corsica, in the Mediterranean Sea, on which Yossarian's bomber squadron is stationed. The island is the central location for much of the action that occurs—in a nonsequential order—within the novel. The absence of an ordinary fixed chronology gives the novel's settings a larger significance because they are the only features of the narrative that remain fixed.
During World War II, Joseph Heller himself was stationed on nearby Corsica, and may have chosen Pianosa for its obscurity, thereby undercutting and satirizing the self-aggrandizing officers who appear in the novel who direct the squadron's bombing raids from the island. Pianosa also functions as a counterpoint to other locations because its beaches provide some rare moments of tranquility for Yossarian and his friends. Thematically, Pianosa is also the setting for the pivotal and gratuitous death of Kid Sampson and the culminating climax when Milo Minderbinder actually bombs his own men in a perverted twisting of capitalistic ideals into war rhetoric that at the same time parodies the Machiavellian concept of the end justifying the...
(The entire section is 1032 words.)
Form and Content (Masterplots II: Juvenile & Young Adult Literature Series, Supplement)
In forty-two dizzying chapters, Catch-22 tells the story of Yossarian's increasingly desperate attempts to avoid flying any more bombing missions during World War II. His superior officer, Colonel Cathcart, progressively increases the number of required missions, starting at thirty-five and going up to eighty, when Yossarian finally takes an effective stand. During that time, readers are witness to an absurd series of mishaps developing from (or in spite of) an incompetent U.S. military, which is somehow winning the war against Germany.
The chronology of events signaled by the number of missions that Yossarian has flown at any particular point, is deliberately obscured. Among chapters, and even in individual chapters, scenes occur out of order. Colonel Cathcart raises the required missions to fifty near the beginning of the book, but later readers learn about earlier missions; a soldier's death, recounted at the end of the book, in fact precedes most of the other action. Yet, the subversion of a standard chronological sequence does not necessarily make the novel less accessible. Taken in the light of the novel's subject—the insanity of war—Joseph Heller's decision to depart from a conventional plot structure seems perfectly natural. Indeed, the unconventional storyline captures something of the turmoil inherent in his protagonist, Yossarian.
A psychiatrist diagnoses Yossarian at one point with a "morbid aversion to...

A microscopic view of cyanobacteria, more commonly known as blue-green algae. (Photo courtesy Wikipedia / October 2, 2013) |
"We realize there are lakes and ponds that are blooming; we just haven't gotten called about it," says Toal.
The most recent documented toxic bloom in this state happened in Lower Bolton Lake in August 2012. The Eastern Highlands Health District, which covers that portion of northeastern Connecticut, issued a public warning advising people to avoid contact with the lake's water and prevent pets from drinking or playing in the lake.
Robert Miller, health director for the district, says the public advisory was in effect for 7-8 weeks, and wasn't taken down until after the Labor Day weekend. He says the toxic bloom "just naturally waned and expired on its own," which experts say isn't unusual.
As far as can be determined, the Lower Bolton Lake bloom didn't make any person or animal sick, according to Miller. He says it was the first time he knows about that local and state health officials attempted to cooperate to create a "structured response" to a toxic bloom in Connecticut.
It was that outbreak that prompted Connecticut state officials to put out a detailed 14-page "guideline" for local officials and citizens on how to recognize and deal with toxic algae blooms. Miller says he believes those are "interim guidelines" and that state officials are hoping to create a better monitoring and response system down the line when they have more data.
According to the National Wildlife Federation report, the most serious triggers for these toxic outbreaks is the fertilizer being flushed into streams, rivers, lakes and ponds from farms and suburban lawns. All those excess nutrients create a perfect diet for hungry toxic algae.
All this pollution is being made worse by climate change, according to the report's authors. "Global warming and intensification of major storms and droughts play major roles in the spread of toxic blue-green algae blooms worldwide," said Hans Paerl, a professor of marine and environmental sciences at the University of North Carolina.
"The interesting thing I kind of discovered," Miller says about his first exposure to these hazardous blooms, "is that there's a lot we don't know about toxic algae... about how it exists, and the implications for health and recreation."
Lee agrees. He says that's a major reason why the state has finally begun an initial program to start monitoring some of these inland bodies of water.
"We want to have a better understanding about where we need to be concerned," says Lee.
