Shortstop Barry Larkin appeared in his ninth All-Star Game, appearing as a pinch-hitter for pitcher Dan Kolb in the second inning. Facing A's lefty Mark Mulder, he grounded out to third.
For his career, Larkin is just 2-for-18 (.111) in the Midsummer Classic.
Closer Danny Graves didn't appear in the game, held back by National League manager Jack McKeon in case of extra innings.
"I tried to get everybody in the game and I did, except for a couple of pitchers," McKeon said.
Graves pitched one scoreless inning, his only All-Star appearance, in 2000 at Atlanta.
Center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. was out with a partial tear of his right hamstring, depriving the National League of an all-500-home run outfield as Barry Bonds (681) and Sammy Sosa (555) did not have Griffey (501) in their midst.
First baseman Sean Casey was out because of a pulled right calf that has kept him out for two weeks. Both Griffey and Casey, though on the disabled list, were in Houston.
"I've already played in two of them," Casey said. "For me, I'm getting ready for the second half and getting off the DL. I'm just enjoying being here."

February 2014 - LiveData President & CEO Jeff Robbins joins four executives from companies offering perioperative workflow management solutions talking with Healthcare Purchasing News about what makes an OR tick.

OR workflow optimization carves out order from chaos
Spend any amount of time behind the scenes in the perioperative suite, and you'll likely find yourself amidst a whirling dervish of activity and chaos. You might even begin to wonder how surgical cases are ever successfully completed with all of the starts, stops and delays that happen during the course of the day, whether awaiting surgeons, supplies, test results or even patients. Indeed, the complexity of the OR is matched only by the variety of cases and surgical techniques performed.
"The challenges lie in the extreme degree of variability in workflow practices, surgical techniques, equipment used, not to mention physical space constraints. Ineffective coordination of these physical and staffing resources with patient clinical and logistical workflow causes bottlenecks, delays, and inefficiencies. What exacerbates these challenges is that most hospitals use manual workflow processes and communication methods (whiteboards, pagers, and individual staff observations) to make decisions that can adversely impact operational efficiency and patient safety in attempts to impact perioperative performance."– Jeff Robbins, CEO, LiveData, Inc

August 13, 2013 - In HUP Operating Rooms, Dashboards Pull Together Data from Disparate Systems
David RathsHealthare Informatics
No longer looking at 'only one piece of the elephant'
Operating rooms during complex surgeries such as heart procedures involve a plethora of information systems gathering real-time data from medical devices and nursing, surgery, imaging, lab and anesthesia systems. They also require a workflow and patient flow management system.
But it can be a problem if each clinician is watching a separate computer screen as the surgery progresses. Verbal communications can be challenging because everyone is wearing a mask. To improve communication and begin providing an integrated view of all that data, hospitals are turning to surgical information system vendors with new display solutions. For instance, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) in Philadelphia has installed LiveData's OR-Dashboard in all seven of its cardiovascular operating rooms.
OR-Dashboard collects data from various systems, such as HUP's Epic EHR, pharmacy, lab, and resource tracking systems and displays it on a single large screen for everyone in the OR to see.
August 1, 2013 - A Sharper Focus
Joe GoedertHealth Data Management
Jeff Robbins, President & CEO, LiveData interviewed for this article.
A starting point
In many surgical suites, metrics such as time stamps for certain processes, reminders such as re-dosing antibiotics, estimates of blood loss and equipment tracking are written manually on whiteboards after being pulled from the perioperative system. Staff monitor vital signs through the anesthesia system displayed on a monitor.
Except for vital signs, most of the information is not real-time and may not be accurate because of errors between pulling the data and writing it down.
Many software vendors in recent years have introduced dashboard technology that pulls data from the surgical information system and monitors, organizes and displays the information on a screen. Jeff Robbins, CEO at dashboard vendor LiveData Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., says the dashboards can provide dynamic reports of key performance indicators that can be refreshed during the course of treatment, and can later generate reports to show how a surgical unit performed during the past week or month. Dashboards also can help with adopting analytics, and some include basic analysis capabilities.
Dashboards also can integrate safety into workflow, such as automating a safe surgery checklist, an automated time-out to verify that the staff is operating on the correct patient, correct body part, using the proper procedure before an operation begins. Integrating dashboards with real-time location systems technology (see sidebar, next page) can enable administrators to use the physical location of patients and caregivers as objective data when trying to understand bottlenecks.

February 2013 - Designing better mouse trap ideal for OR Scheduling
Surgical workflows shed some kinks from automated schedule management
by Jeannie AkridgeHealthcare Purchasing News
Anyone who's played the classic game Mouse Trap knows that the more moving parts in any process or piece of equipment, the more opportunities there are for something to go wrong. Surgical staff experience this on a routine basis. Just ask someone who's worked in an OR how many times they've had to stop what they were doing to find something or someone needed to start or move a case along — be it surgeon or staff, surgical instruments or equipment, medication, or even a patient. While an automated scheduling program or electronic medical record system may intend to set in motion a specific chain of events, it's often not until prep begins for the first case of the day that the surgical team finds out that some key pieces are missing. And every delay adds exponentially more time to a very expensive clock.

By Jason Bittel
PITTSBURGH — The human tongue is an extraordinary bit of flesh. It's alternately squishy and tense, at times delicate and others powerful. It helps us taste, talk and tie cherry stems, all the while avoiding two interlocking rows of sharpened enamel that know only how to gnash. Now, it seems the tongue may even serve as a gateway to the human brain, providing us with the opportunity to treat serious afflictions from multiple sclerosis to combat-induced brain injuries.
The tongue is a natural candidate for electrical stimulation, thanks in part to a high density of sensory receptors and the concentration of electrolytes found in saliva. This has allowed researchers at the Tactile Communication and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a pattern of electrodes that can be placed on the tongue and attached to a control box. All together, the system is called a Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS).
Once hooked in, patients undergo 20-30 minutes of stimulation therapy, or CN-NiNM (cranial nerve non-invasive neuromodulation), matched to a regimen of physical, occupational and cognitive exercises specific to the ailment being treated. Each exercise corresponds with different patterns of tongue stimulation, which in turn coax the brain to form new neural pathways. These pathways remain active even after the stimulation has been removed, meaning the therapy can have lasting effects.
After treatment with CN-NiNM, patients with multiple sclerosis have been shown to have a 50 percent improvement in postural balance, 55 percent improvement in walking ability, a 30 percent reduction in fatigue and 48 percent reduction in M.S. impact scores (a measure of physical and psychological impact of M.S. from the patient's perspective). Extraordinary numbers by any standard, but if you really want to understand the project's impact, read about Kim Kozelichki ditching her hobbled limp for a healthy jog on the University of Nebraska's Medical Center blog.
Best of all, researchers have reason to believe CN-NiNM can not only slow functional loss, but also restore previously lost functions. It's this promise that has the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) interested. In collaboration with the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and NeuroHabilitation Corporation, the Army hopes to harness this emerging technology to "restore lost physical and mental function" for both service members and civilians suffering from traumatic brain injury, stroke Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois lifted its prohibition against carrying concealed firearms as lawmakers rejected an effort by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn to restrict guns in public places.
The nation's fifth-largest state will now join the other 49 in allowing citizens to carry concealed guns, as dictated in a Dec. 11 federal court order that said Illinois's ban was unconstitutional. Quinn on July 2 made proposed changes to the legislatively approved bill, inserting limits on the ammunition capacity of gun magazines, restoring the right of local governments to enact restrictions and prohibiting firearms in bars or restaurants that sell alcohol.
Lawmakers Tuesday rejected the changes, with the House of Representatives and Senate overturning Quinn's amendatory vetoes.
"This sends a strong message to the governor," said Democratic State Rep. Brandon Phelps, the main sponsor of the bill, adding that Quinn's changes were "grandstanding and he should be ashamed of himself."
The votes followed a violent weekend in Chicago, in which more than 70 people were shot — 12 fatally — from Wednesday through Sunday evening.
Illinois was under court pressure to enact a concealed- carry law after a federal appeals court ruled its last-in-the- nation ban unconstitutional. The General Assembly approved a bill May 31 after months of negotiations. Today was the deadline for the state to enact a law.
Quinn, a gun-control proponent, last week called lawmakers "mouthpieces for the NRA," referring to the Fairfax, Va.-based National Rifle Association, a gun lobbying group. Quinn said the bill endangered the public. In the days before Tuesday's vote, the governor spoke about the dangers of more firearms on the streets.
Phelps rejected claims that concealed-carry laws increase the likelihood of gun crimes. "If it was so bad why hasn't any other state tried to repeal it?" he said.

By Daryl Nelson
— Shapeways.com bills itself as the "world's leading 3D printing marketplace and community." One thing Shapeways has going for itself is that it's one of the first Internet companies to jump into the 3D printing industry and offer a way for everyday consumers to take advantage of it.
Quite simply, Shapeways is to designers what websites like KitsyLane.com are to jewelry makers, in that people can sell their own designs over the Internet.
Not just design
Instead of being able to sell just a statement necklace or offer a cool-looking bracelet to someone, you can actually put together just about anything your mind can come up with, as long as it's under a certain size. From there, you can have it printed and shipped to either yourself or someone who's willing to pay good money for it.
In case you're unfamiliar with 3D printing, it's the concept of taking the blueprints of a design from just about any object and duplicating it through the use of a specially-made 3D printer. We offered a full story on it last year, when the concept was just starting to hit mainstream consumer realms.
The idea behind Shapeways' approach is to capture people who may be interested in 3D printing, but don't have the funds or interest in purchasing their own 3D printer, which can easily go for thousands of dollars.
To get started, create an account and then you can pretty much start designing products right away.
If you're already familiar with 3D printing in terms of what materials to select and how to properly specify the dimensions of an object, you can jump from the signing-in phase to the design phase, and choose to either have your product shipped to you or placed into Shapeways' store for sale.
The company will determine a price for your object based on design, size, materials and shipping costs, all included in the price, which will be listed next to your design once it's available for purchase.
In terms of the general Internet reviews about Shapeways and how easy it is to create things, most people have given the site good ratings for being user-friendly for people who know about 3D printing and for those who don't.
As far as the quality of the objects you're designing, they seem to be well-made and sturdy according to some who have received products through the mail.
For those who are 3D printing novices, Shapeways has a bunch of tutorial links that users can click on for help. You can also post your questions in the community forum and other users will be able to give you instruction. And if you would rather have another Shapeway user actually create a design for you, you can do that too.
In addition, the site suggests a handful of 3D modeling packages like Rhino, Blender and Maya, which can help walk you through the process of 3D printing from A to Z.
Some of the previous reviewers of the site complained about how long it takes to get finished products shipped, which can be anywhere from 10 to 21 days, depending on the type of material you use for your object.
And although people are now making a lot of things via 3D printing, users aren't allowed to print any weaponry or distasteful material of a sexual nature. Doing so will get your design automatically removed by the company.
Next big thing
A lot of experts say that 3D printing is the next big thing that will dramatically shift manufacturing, commerce and trade in the very near future. If you've been paying attention during the last couple of years, you've probably noticed more and more people talking about this huge shift in technology.
So before 3D printing becomes mainstream and a normal part of our society, using Shapeways is a good way to start tinkering around with the overall concept.
Additionally, the site does a decent job of creating a bridge between the idea of design and the average consumer who normally might not give 3D printing a try.
And the site can be useful for the experienced designer who wants to sell products, but doesn't have the proper technology to do 3D prints, which is a definite plus for the site.
Whether Shapeways grows into a major destination for consumers remains to be seen.
It will be exciting to see where the concept of 3D printing goes from here.

In its coordinating functions for the response of NATO and Partner countries, EADRCC not only guides consequence management efforts, but it also serves as an information-sharing tool on disaster assistance through the organisation of seminars to discuss lessons learnt from NATO-coordinated disaster response operations and exercises.
In addition to its day-to-day activities and the immediate response to emergencies, EADRCC conducts annual large-scale field exercises with realistic scenarios to improve interaction between NATO, Partnership for Peace (PfP) and other partner countries. Regular major disaster exercises have been organised in different participating countries to practice procedures, provide training for local and international participants, build up interoperability skills and capabilities of the non-standing Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Unit (EADRU), and harness the experience and lessons learnt for future operations.
To this date, EADRCC has conducted thirteen exercises in Ukraine, Croatia, the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Romania, Italy, Finland, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Turkey, and Moldova. The next exercise will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in September 2012. In 2009, the countries of the Mediterranean Dialogue (MD)¹ and those of the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI)² were given direct access to the Centre, followed by other partners across the globe³ in December 2011.
All EADRCC's tasks are performed in close cooperation with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA), which , retains the primary role in the coordination of international disaster relief operations. EADRCC has, been designed as a regional coordination mechanism, supporting and complementing the UN efforts. Furthermore, EADRCC's principal function is coordination rather than direction. In the case of a disaster requiring international assistance, it is up to individual NATO allies and partners to decide whether to provide assistance, based on information received from EADRCC.
- Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia.
- Six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council were initially invited to participate. To date, four of these -- Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates -- have joined. Saudia Arabia and Oman have also shown an interest in the Initiative. Based on the principle of inclusiveness, the Initiative is, however, open to all interested countries of the broader Middle East region who subscribe to its aims and content.
- Afghanistan, Australia, Iraq, Japan, Mongolia, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Korea (as of March 2012).

Are We Raising Moral Kids?
Researchers have figured out something about parents that we ourselves might not know or else not be willing to admit: While most of us say we highly value instilling moral concepts like kindness toward others and a sense of fairness in our children, in action and deed it appears we often put the conflicting values of personal happiness and achievement first. And our kids notice.

So Major League clubs did the predictable in today's First-Year Player Draft, going for future impact.
Predictable, but nevertheless virtually unprecedented, as eight of the top nine selections were high school players.
There was one notable exception to the rule, and the Pittsburgh Pirates jumped on it, making Ball State right-hander Bryan Bullington the overall No. 1 pick.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound senior has the stuff and maturity for a quick ascent, and Pittsburgh general manager Dave Littlefield was swayed to grab him despite unproductive early contract talks.
As the rest of the elite selections were made, one typical trend continued. After Tampa Bay made high school shortstop B.J. Upton its No. 2 pick, the next three selections were pitchers -- always a top commodity at draft time.
However, they were all from the high school ranks. All seven selections following Bullington, in fact, came out of the preps.
Only one other collegiate pitcher was among the top 11, and he is from Canada, left-hander Jeff Francis from the University of British Columbia.
This trend was directly opposite last year's, when St. Paul high school catcher Joe Mauer was the No. 1 choice by the Twins, but eight of the top 11 selections came out of college -- seven of them pitchers.
B.J. (Don't Call Me Melvin) Upton is one thing. Forget five tools; he is a six-tool player, if you consider his prowess on the mound. He won't turn 18 for a couple of months, but he could flower into another Alex Rodriguez and reach the Majors in his teens.
Upton was in the Pirates' sights, too. Once the Bucs went elsewhere, the Devil Rays couldn't resist the best all-around high school player in the draft. Though actually getting him into their farm system will be a challenge. Having already committed to collegiate powerhouse Florida State University, Upton will be a tough sign. Then again, how could Upton improve his leverage?
He is coming off a season in which he batted .614, with 10 homers, 47 RBIs, 51 runs, 21 steals -- and only two strikeouts -- in 26 games. (Those two strikeouts of Upton? Perhaps some enterprising team should have tracked down the high school pitchers responsible and put them on its draft list.) And Upton is the second-highest draft pick in the country.
Make that countries. Francis and fellow Canadian left-hander Adam Loewen, picked fourth by the Orioles, give the Great White North two picks among the top nine.
Pretty noteworthy, considering all the previous drafts, beginning with the original in 1965, had produced only one first-round Canadian: Kevin Nicholson, taken 27th overall by the San Diego Padres in 1997.
Picking third-through-fifth, the Reds, Orioles and Expos all took high school pitchers, with common qualities: they're big, they throw hard, and they need high ceilings.
Cincinnati pick Chris Gruler is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-hander who likes to bust hitters in on the hands.
Loewen (6-6, 215) dominated Canadian prep hitters with his sharp breaking ball, heat and change.
Clint Everts (6-2, 170) packs a powerful 12-to-6 curve that commanded the Expos' attention.
Everts, from Cypress Falls High School in Houston, was the biggest top-of-the-draft surprise. One, because he went so high, after being projected as a mid first-round pick. Two, because the Expos, assumed to be on the lookout for short-term help, were the ones to choose the teenager.

"My dad used to own the business but quit about four years ago," said Rankin. "So Dave and I got together and decided last fall to start things up again."
Working along side of Whitley and Rankin is their cousin Cory Stamper, 21, and Troy Whittemore, 21.
"It's a family business," said Whitley. "Some of our clients carried over from my uncle's business, but we have acquired many new ones since we started in the fall. Word of mouth and his clients have now provided us with farms that are keeping us busy, but we are always looking for more."
The men serve any hay or straw needs all over the state. They have delivered to farms in Somerset, Paris, Versailles, Lexington and Georgetown.
"We've come a long way in less than a year," said Rankin. "We started with two old trucks and one trailer; now we have two trucks, a semi and three trailers."
While they agree that there are benefits of owning their own business at a young age, at the end of the day the physical labor always comes first for them.
"Manual labor is tough, but at the end of a work day we know that after hours spent in the heat we will be making our customers happy when we deliver the hay to them," said Whittemore.
Whitley and Rankin agreed that it is tough finding people that are willing to work in the summer heat.
"We have to bring at least three shirts with us to the field," Rankin said laughing, "and each one of them are soaked by the time it is dark."
At first they were worried that people wouldn't take them seriously because they are young, but after their clients saw how hard working they are it was a game changer.
"Being able to have relationships with so many different horse farms and getting to know different people is one of my favorite things about working here," said Whittemore. "We are constantly building relationships with people so that we can become a bigger business and become more broad."

Some say the fishing in Alaska is so good that anybody can catch fish. This is true to some extent — the remote waters around Sitka teem with silver and king salmon, giant halibut, brightly colored rockfish and alligator-size lingcod.
Depending on the season in these remote waters, some or all of these fish are usually ready to pounce on baits or lures lowered into their midst.
That the fish are large, numerous and willing here doesn't mean that serious anglers won't have their skills — as well as their stamina — put to the test. Capt. Tom Ohaus, noted outdoors writer and co-owner of Angling Unlimited in Sitka, sees all kinds of clients over a typical season, from first-timers to old salts. The ones who enjoy the greatest success, he says, are those who keep their minds open and listen to the captain.
Salmon Time
The waters around Sitka are rife with king (chinook) salmon up to 50 pounds and coho (or silvers) running from 8 to 20 pounds. Sitka, on the Pacific shore of Baranof Island, is ideally situated to benefit from annual southward salmon migrations. These waters are also rich in herring and needlefish, providing salmon an ideal stopover in which to fatten up before heading upriver to spawn.
While annual runs can overlap, action on kings is usually best from May until late July. Big numbers of silvers usually start showing up in late June and can be around through mid-September, when most lodges shut down for the season.
Whether fishing for king or silver salmon, Ohaus and his Angling Unlimited guides prefer the hands-on technique of mooching to trolling, in which fish hook themselves. Mooching is certainly more fun for anglers, but it also makes them more responsible for their own success or failure.
"Salmon fishing is unique," says Ohaus, who, in addition to his other credentials, has a degree in fisheries biology. "I know this because I've fished all over the U.S. and the world. The gear for salmon is different, the bite is different, and the most effective response isn't what you would do for a striped bass, tuna or other species. Even experienced salmon fishermen from other parts of the country make the mistake of assuming the fish we catch in Alaska behave like fish in their home waters."
Magic Carpet Ride
Another attraction that brings anglers to Sitka is the opportunity to snag carpet-size Pacific halibut. While the majority of the catch are 10- to 40-pound "chickens," there is always a chance of hooking a monster. An Angling Unlimited client in 2010 managed to drag up a 430-pound behemoth after a thrashing, shotgun-blasting battle captured on home video (and viewable at anglingunlimited.com).
Ohaus likes to anchor in 150 to 220 feet over flats with gravel bottoms and nearby high structure when targeting "small" inshore halibut up to 60 pounds. He found a spot like this on our trip, and I downsized my tackle to target these flatfish with lighter than usual gear and artificial lures. I brought along a three-piece conventional travel rod and compact lever-drag reel, which I used to bounce soft-plastic lures and heavy iron jigs over the bottom. It takes a 10- to 12-ounce lead-head or lure to stay down in the heavy currents. Still, the strong take and fight of a big halibut or lingcod on 65-pound braid and this relatively light rig is a blast.
Go Deep
"Most of the really big halibut we catch come from offshore, in depths of 300 to 500 feet, with the best action near but not on the structure," Ohaus says. "We like to anchor right on the edge, where the rock meets flat, hard bottom. Ideally, you want the current running toward the rocky structure."
Fishing halibut on the anchor like this requires a fair amount of sitting and waiting, at least until the scent of the salmon bellies, herring and fish guts coaxes these roving bottom feeders under your boat. "We generally fish halibut with large baits on circle hooks or smaller baits on J hooks or jigs," says Ohaus. "With the big circle hooks, the key to hooking a halibut is patience. Let the rod tip go down and stay down, then reel into the resistance. Halibut grab a bait, pull hard and drop it. But they almost always return to try again. They may return to a different rod, but they just can't help themselves."

text: I'm amazed at how immediately the judges fell in love with Oksana Baiul beginning in '93. She had no real world or Olympic track record, and it wasn't as if she was so superior to all the other top ladies that merited her being placed at 'the top of the heap' in her first year. Perhaps her rise was fueled by a combination of her sad life story [orphan, sleeping at the rink, etc.], the judges obvious dislike for her top Euro rival Surya Bonaly, and Nancy Kerrigan's implosion. Then, by '94 the dye was cast. But it's also just weird that the judges were not considering other ladies besides Nancy and Surya, who had been around longer than Oksana, and who had better skating than her on a good day -Chen Lu, Yuka Sato, even Josee Chouinard. I also don't consider the Ukraine to have a really strong Fed to push her [then again, I forgot they had Viktor Petrenko]

WINDHAM, N.H. — A landscaper working to build a basketball court is credited with saving the life of a toddler who wasn't breathing after falling into a swimming pool at a nearby home.
Matthew Pulomena, 24, was building a basketball court at a house on Sharon Road in Windham, N.H., when he heard a mother's cry for help next door. He said he saw the woman carrying the child on her shoulder, and he ran toward her, hopping a fence to reach them.
"There was no hesitation or any hiccups," Pulomena said. "I just took off and did my thing."
The 3-year-old boy wasn't breathing and had no pulse, Pulomena said. So he started CPR.
Moments passed, and then the boy coughed up water.
Windham firefighters arrived and took the child to Parkland Medical Center in Derry, N.H. He was later transferred to Elliot Hospital in Manchester, N.H.
A spokesman for Elliot Hospital said the child was being evaluated Wednesday afternoon.
Neighbors credited Pulomena with saving the child's life.
Bill Dufault was on the job with Pulomena, as foreman for Design Works, the company building the neighbor's basketball court.
"He's the kind of guy who matters. He would give you the shirt off his back," Dufault said of Pulomena. "I was not surprised for a millisecond at how he reacted. He is one of the best."
Pulomena may get a chance to practice more rescues in the future; he said he hopes to become a firefighter some day.
Details for this story were provided by The Eagle Tribune in North Andover, Mass.

The TD Five Boro Bike Tour was held in Sunday, May 5, 2013.
Stricter security measures were put in place for the citywide ride in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Riders were not allowed to carry backpacks, saddle bags, and hydration packs.
Riders were allowed to bring fanny packs and small bike frame bags that were no larger than 420 cubic inches.
Other bags would be confiscated and not returned, according to Bike New York, the organizer. Frame-mounted water bottles were allowed.
The stricter baggage rule at the TD 5 Boro Bike Tour is part of enhanced security put in place after the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon.
The organizer said water stations would be available along the course so that riders can refill their bottles.

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

This is not a wood top. It arrived damaged but the-email was answered timely and a replacement piece was sent in a couple of days. Great customer service.
Love this buffet! The only change I made was the knobs. I didn't use the maple colored ones that came with it, instead I used brushed nickle. I think the nickle updates it a bit.
I had a handy friend do the assembly but he had no problem. Everything went together well, the drawers glide and the doors close perfectly. I did change the wood knobs for pewter and it looks great - the wood look more country and the pewter a more modern look. purely a matter of taste. The cabinet itself if great, countertop is nice too. Lots of additional storage.
Was really easy to put together..nothing to read but tons of pictures step by step...perfect for me since I hate to read and I am not mechanical at all.
I would buy it again if I had a place for it. It was just what I needed. It went together easy, everything fit.
Very easy to assemble and took about 2 1/2 hours. Exactly as described and would refer it to a friend.
This is a nice design. Nice color. It looks good from a distance. Nice size. It fits where it should. But. But. It is really more like a prop buffet than a real one. The top is like contact paper. One scratch and it's done. Took four hours to assemble. And then one of the drawers didn't slide and in out correctly. I had to have someone come over and fix it so it would work. Like I said, it's a nice design. And I'll use it very gently and carefully for as long as it lasts. Too bad the company didn't spend a few pennies more to make it even one step up in quality!
Overall this is a nice addition to my upstairs multi-purpose haven. 2 issues: the brackets for the doors had to be bent to the correct angle and the holes for the drawer runners were off by 1/4 inch, so the top one did not close under the lip of the top. Both issues correctly if the user is handy with tools.
Easy to put together, very fine product. I would recommend this to anyone.
