In the visual arts, a painting or sculpture has generally considered by critics and artists alike to exist entirely free from language. Critics may write about works, but the works themselves may provoke aesthetic, universal emotion through eye pleasing visuals that exist beyond words. When one looks at the "ready-mades" of Marcel Duchamp, however, such emotion is not provoked in the same, silent sense. The titles of these pieces carry as much importance as the visual product; titles become inseparable with the meanings of the works themselves.
Through the unique titling of various ready-mades, such as his Bottle Rack, Hat Rack, Trap, and In Advance of the Broken Arm, Duchamp creates a clever blend of language and visual sense to convey meaning more potently than does conventional painting or sculpture. Each of Duchamp's ready-mades critiques the traditional definitions of art both in terms of the how artist's hand in the creation of a work, as well as how the viewer can contribute to the piece.
Duchamp's titles at first glance give an impression of simplicity; the same can be said for viewing the ready-mades themselves. You could almost compare Duchamp as the Ernest Hemingway of visual arts.
Duchamp himself coined the term "ready-made" in 1915 (Masheck 13). This term describes the works as they are: objects turned to art through the artist's loose manipulation. The ready-made comes from the everyday, but gains meaning in the sense that the artist has added his own thoughts to it. Duchamp detested the ideas of "retinal art," all that was aesthetically intensive and of a snobbish culture, so he instead focused on achieving an intellectual expression rather than a visual one (Judovitz 88).

Information from the Georgia Department of Education-
An Education Week report released today shows that Georgia's K-12 Achievement ranks 17th in the nation.
The K-12 Achievement Index is one indicator in the Quality Counts report that measures key education outcomes and provides ranks and grades for each state based on their commitment to improve educational policies and practices.
In previous years, the Quality Counts report gave states an overall ranking (Georgia ranked 7th in the nation for the past two years) but it does not compile overall state rankings this year. States are only ranked on the six individual indicators.
The K-12 Achievement Index examines 18 state achievement measures related to reading and math performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), high school graduation rates, and the results of Advanced Placement exams. It also looks at poverty-based achievement gaps and progress in closing those gaps.
"The report that Education Week produces shows a marked difference from the stereotype most people think of with Georgia's K-12 Achievement," said State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. "When looking at more than one indicator, it is clear that Georgia's students are performing at higher levels than many of their peers across the nation, especially those in the other southeastern states. Our students and teachers don't get enough credit for the great work they are doing in the classroom."
K-12 Achievement Index Highlights
For the second consecutive year, Georgia was also ranked first in the nation with a score of 100 in the Transitions and Alignment category on the annual "Quality Counts" report. Georgia's score comes from the state enacting the 14 policies examined by Education Week, including curriculum alignment from prekindergarten through college and programs to help students not meeting school-readiness benchmarks.
That work started with the Alliance for Education Agency Heads, which is composed of Georgia government agencies and departments: the Governor's Office, the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, the Georgia Department of Education, the University System of Georgia, the Technical College System of Georgia, the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, the Georgia Student Finance Commission and the Governor's Office of Student Achievement.
The group has been working since 2005 to create a smooth education pipeline from preschool through college and to unite the education community in Georgia.
In the report, Georgia also ranked 18th in the nation and received an A- for Standards, Assessments, and Accountability. This section of the report looks at each state's academic standards in English/language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.
Georgia received a perfect 100 for standards, compared to the national average of 87.3. The Standards, Assessments, and Accountability section of the report also evaluates states' assessments and accountability systems, such as Georgia's College and Career Ready Performance Index.
Another section where Georgia performed well was The Teaching Profession, where Georgia ranked 10th in the nation for its efforts to improve teaching. Specific areas evaluated in this section of the report include Accountability for Quality, Incentives and Allocation, and Building and Supporting Capacity.

Fashion Week - Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012-13 | Fashion Week Review | FashionTV
SEE MORE: http://www.fashiontv.com/FashionWeek http://www.FashionTV.com/videos PARIS - FashionTV has your review of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week featuring high-end fashion for the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 season in shows like Christian Dior, Valentino, Zuhair Murad, On Aura Tout Vu, Alexandre Vaulthier, Christophe Josse, Alexis Mabille, Franck Sorbier, Versace, Julien Fournie, Maison Martin Margiela, Elie Saab, Giorgio Armani Prive, Stephane Rolland, and Jean Paul Gaultier. "This is the most exciting today, wouldn't you say?" Natalia Vodianova tells FashionTV at the Christian Dior show which features Raf Simons first presentation as the head designer for the label. Critics LOVED his minimalist approach that also featured architectural New Look pieces that ranged from streamlined to elegant to just a little patterned and peplum. Duo Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, the designers behind Valentino focused on brocade and see-through sheaths in colors like yellow, navy blue, and black. Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad wows the crowd with everything from lace embroidery to floral prints to embellished sequins. There's a reason Jennifer Lopez loves this haute couturier. On Aura Tout Vu went beyond our wildest imaginations, portraying a refined kingdom amidst a lavish botanical dream and highlighting it with crystal-bedazzled looks, lavish headpieces, Oriental print dresses and more! Disco is in full effect with the sequins and sexy one piece jumpsuits of Alexandre Vaulthier! At Christophe Josse, the pieces were paired down and simplified but there were architectural defining moments and lots of embellishments. Alexis Mabille's jewel of a collection is based around just that--the woman as a jewel! Franck Sorbier told the story of Donkeyskin, a king who wanted to marry his own daughter, who requests a series of "impossible gowns" to escape. Sorbier creates those gowns with stunning visual effects. Versace's signature style is showcased with bodycon dresses, python prints, and mesh! Neoprene was the focus of Julien Fournie, where dresses clung to the body and showcased embellishments and plunging necklines. The highlight of Maison Martin Margiela, besides his haute couture pieces, of course, was the model's masks which covered their faces and were made of more than 2,400 sparkling crystal. Elie Saab showcased stunning gowns which will be perfect when worn by celebs on the red carpet. Models Toni Garrn and Karlie Kloss clowned around backstage. It was two at a time at Giorgio Armani Prive with different sections to the collection featuring silk velvets, loose shapes, and tailored trousers. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may have only caught the finale at Stephane Rolland, but they missed a hell of a show featuring architectural and sculpted gowns and Fan Bingbing to finish the runway. Jean Paul Gaultier plays with the idea of masculine and feminine in a dark, fitting collection featuring Erin O'Connor. Appearances: Karlie Kloss, Gisele, Natalia Vodianova, Sharon Stone, Alber Elbaz, Marion Cotillard, Julia Nobis, Kinga Rajzak, Monika "Jac" Jagaciak, Suvi Koponen, Vlada Roslyakova, Mirte Maas, Sui He, Sigrid Agren, Kati Nescher, Kasia Struss, Daiane Conterato, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Zuzanna Bijoch, Lindsey Wixson, Mackenzie Drazan, Maud Welzen, Fei Fei Sun, Bette Franke, Andie Arthur, Vasilisa Pavlova, Nimue Smit, Ming Xi, Daria Strokous, Raf Simons, Nimue Smit, Mirte Maas, Antonia Wesseloh, Ginta Lapina, Ruby Aldridge, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Pier Paolo Piccioli, Zuhair Murad, Kika, Constance Jablonski, Andreea Diaconu, Patricia van der Vliet, Yulia Lobova, Mya Fry, Sofia Essaidi, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, Jasmine Tookes, Alexandre Vaulthier, Carolina Thaler, Christophe Josse, Alexis Mabille, Daga Ziober, Isabella Melo, Martha Streck, Lindsey Wixson, Ginta Lapina, Aymeline Valade, Kate King, Toni Garrn, Aure Atika, Marie-Josee Croze, Alysson Paradis, Deborah Francois, Stephane Rolland, Giorgio Armani, Alison Nix, Sessilee Lopez, Bette Midler, Erin O'Connor SHOP http://shop.fashiontv.com CHANNEL http://youtube.com/FashionTV FACEBOOK http://facebook.com/FTV TWITTER http://twitter.com/FashionTV FashionTV's YouTube network features coverage of fashion shows, fashion week, runway highlights, front row celebs, backstage, hair and makeup, models, designers, photo shoots, red carpets at the biggest events in Hollywood, and much more.

Focus Formula is an advanced dietary supplement designed to help support memory, recall, mental focus and concentration. The natural ingredients in Focus Formula have been selected to specifically help the brain function at its best. Focus Formula combines three star ingredients, DHA, Huperzine A, and Vinpocetine, to give you one of the most effective formulas for brain enhancement.
Focus Formula is a natural dietary supplement designed to help support memory, recall and concentration, The vitamins in Focus Formula have been selected because they are believed to specifically help support brain function. Vitamins C and E may help protect the blood vessels in the brain from free radical damage, Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid may help with healthy neurotransmitter formation.
There are three star ingredients in Focus Formula: DHA, Huperzine A and Vinpocetine. The Essential Fatty Acid Complex in Focus Formula contains DHA. DHA is vital to normal brain development in fetuses and infants. DHA also plays a big part in maintaining the fluidity in brain cells and therefore may play a major role in the normal maintenance of cognition and mood. Huperzine A shows promise in helping to support alertness and memory. Huperzine A, which is naturally derived from a special kind of moss, Huperzia serrata, helps to increase and maintain the efficacy of an important neurotransmitter call acetylcholine. Last, but not least, Vinpocetine has demonstrated antioxidant activity equal to that of vitamin E. Vinpocetine may help support memory enhancement. This action is thought to be derived from its ability to help increase the circulation of blood and oxygen to the brain.
Focus Formula combines all the best ingredients into one supplement to help keep your memory, recall, and concentration working at its best.

Nearly 200 prospective and incoming students gathered in-person for an afternoon of socializing and crafting for California Connections Academy's second annual open house on September 19 at the school's teaching center in Ripon, Calif.
At the welcome event, students created their own "keys to success" with lanyards or beaded chains, and submitted their five-year goals to the school's "reach for the stars" poster. Younger students practiced the alphabet with clay or shaving cream letters, while teachers guided students through making origami boxes, among other crafts.
Now in its second school year, California Connections Academy @ Ripon, a tuition-free online public school serving K-12 students in Alameda, Amador, Calaveras, Contra Costa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Stanislaus counties, is currently accepting students for the 2013-14 school year.
Chartered through Ripon Unified School District, California Connections Academy gives students a flexible learning environment with a challenging curriculum that meets rigorous state education standards and is taught by state-credentialed teachers. Students at all grade levels socialize through group labs, clubs and activities; school-sponsored events and field trips; and LiveLesson® sessions, virtual classrooms sessions where students can communicate in real time with peers and teachers.

Tony Winner Rocco Landesman Exiting Role as NEA Chairman
By Adam Hetrick
Tony Award-winning producer Rocco Landesman will step down from his role as chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts at the end of 2012, the government agency confirmed Nov. 20.
Landesman, formerly the president of Jujamcyn Theaters, was appointed his role as NEA chairman in 2009. He is departing, as planned, after serving one term. He succeeded Dana Gioia.
"My intention has always been to serve one term, and we have been able to accomplish more than I had ever thought possible: sparking a national movement around creative placemaking, forging significant relationships with other federal agencies, creating an unprecedented healing arts partnership with the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and increasing both the scope and impact of our research office," Landesman said in a statement.
"We have continued to support and strengthen the entire spectrum of arts in this country," he continued, "and we have been able to expand the national conversation through convenings, traditional media, and new technology. I am proud and honored to have served alongside such an amazing group of dedicated public servants."
Landesman, the Tony-winning producer of Mel Brooks' The Producers, added a final comic touch: "The time has come for me to become a cliché: I turned 65, am going to retire, and cannot wait to spend more time in Miami Beach."
Joan Shigekawa will serve as the acting head of the NEA until a permanent successor for Landesman can be found.
His credits as a producer include Doubt, Proof, Love! Valour! Compassion!, Angels in America, The Grapes of Wrath, The Piano Lesson, Jersey Boys, Big River; as well as the Tony-winning revivals of Guys and Dolls, Sweeney Todd, Nine, Kiss Me, Kate and the 1999 revival of Death of a Salesman.

|Linguistic LingField(s):
General Linguistics
Some days ago, I posted a query asking for studies on grammatical devices
that signal that a past situation is not relevant to the speech situation,
a meaning that, I thought, could be called 'Anti-Perfect' (AP). Dmitry
Gerasimov, Timur Maisak, Mark A. Mandel, Martin Mangei, Chad Douglas Nilep,
Jurgis Pakeris, Marina Sherkina-Liebe, Dorota Sikora, and Rudy Troike gave
valuable responses to my query, and I'm obliged to them for that.
The most cited work in the responses is A. V. Plungian & J. van der Auwera
(2006), ''Towards a typology of discontinuous past marking,"
Sprachtypologie und Universalienforschung, 59, 4, 317-349. Discontinuous
past (DP) seems to cover the type of meaning I've called AP.
Some contributors proposed that Pluperfect, Remote or 'Mythical' past can
be thought as a kind of AP; an idea compatible with DP. One linguist
proposed that AP can be related to Irrealis. Though Irrealis is not an
aspect but a modality or mood, interestingly it includes both hypothetical
and counter-factual meanings, which are also found in DP.
Some contributors exemplified the putative AP meaning with constructions in
English: ''He was to speak yesterday, but became ill and couldn't come''
(Rudy Troike).
In conclusion, there is a grammatical device that covers what I've called
AP: DP. Nevertheless, I'm not sure that this is really a past tense. It
seems to be a kind of Retrospective Aspect, in the sense of Dik (1997). I
thought it could be called AP because its uses are the opposites of those
that, after MacCawley (1971), have been associated with Perfect. Anyway,
schematically, so called AP (or DP) and Perfects share the same basic
Retrospective meaning. Of course, it is not an easy (or even profitable)
task to make a strict distinction in Tense-Aspect-Mood categories.

MailChimp's campaign and automation reports analyze clicks, opens, subscribers' social activity, E-commerce data, and more! In this article, we show you where to find your campaign and automation reports as well as walk through each of our available reporting features.
- Where do I find my campaign and automation reports?
- Reporting information
- Statistics on the report Overview
- Troubleshooting list stats
Where do I find my campaign and automation reports?
To view a report for an individual campaign or automation workflow, just navigate to the Reports page and select the Campaigns or Automation tab at the top of the page, depending on what type of report you're looking for. Then, click the View Report button for the campaign or automation workflow you'd like to view the report for.
You can also view a campaign or workflow report by navigating to the Campaigns or Automation page and selecting the View Report button for the sent campaign or workflow you want to view the report for.
Depending on the size of the list, open stats can take between 15-30 minutes to update, while click and abuse stats should update in real-time. Bounces are checked every minute, but can take longer to update when there is heavy traffic on MailChimp servers.
Reporting information
- The report Overview provides an at-a-glance look at how well a campaign performed: who was sent, when they opened, what they clicked, how many successful deliveries were made, along with lots of other info.
- The Activity menu lets you drill down further into campaign results. Selecting one of the Activity menu options allows you to view or export a segment of recipients that interacted with your campaign in a specific way such as opened or did not open, click performance, bounced, and others.
Activity can also be used to send targeted campaigns to specific portions of your list using MailChimp's powerful segmenting options.
- Links gives you a better idea of how well each tracked URL performed in the campaign. From this screen you can find a list of the tracked URLs from your campaign along with the number of total and unique clicks for each one. If you're viewing the report for a Regular or RSS-Driven campaign, we also populate a click map to give you a visual representation of how each link performed. Check out this article for more information on click tracking. Video: Click Performance
- Social reveals who's liking your campaign on Facebook, a list of the top influencers and referrers for the campaign, and a map of clicks from across the globe. Before we can add Facebook stats to your campaign reports, you need to integrate your account with Facebook.

(Editor's Note: A few weeks ago, we ran a short piece on the 250th anniversary concert at Columbia University. Jason Showers, lighting director for Advanced Staging Productions in West Chester, PA--the company that handled all the technical production elements--here provides a fuller account of the event, for which BML provided the stage and roof system and all the lighting equipment).
The event took place in Columbia University's "College Square" located between Broadway and Amsterdam and 114th and 119th street in Manhattan. It was an outdoor concert with a 32' x 40' stage with a covered roof system. Performances on Friday night consisted of a host of student performances ranging from a capella groups and various dance teams to soloist musicians. The Saturday night concert was scheduled to have performances by Wyclef Jean opening for Erykah Badu. Believe it or not, an hour before she was due to go on stage, Erykah Badu called and cancelled due to illness. Wyclef Jean literally came and performed for almost two hours to fill Erykah's space. Final attendance was almost 18,000 people.
In addition to the stage, we also did architectural effect lighting on two large buildings at either ends of the square, one directly behind the main stage and the other at the opposite end. BML provided lighting equipment, the stage and roof system and some onsite lighting personnel. A detailed description of each area, designed as three independent lighting systems, follows:
Butler Library
The main building we illuminated was Columbia's main student library, Butler library. Equipment list was as follows:
1 – Hog PC with 2 universes and playback and programming wing
18 - Vari-Lite VL2416 Wash
15 - Vari-Lite VL1000 Arc w/ shutters
15 – 3-cell ground cycs (to light the upper level of this building)
The 2416 Wash units were used to illuminate the large columns on the front of Butler library. The output and color mixing of the 2416s and their tight beams really accented the columns from the buildings beautifully. The Vari-Lite VL1000 arc units were used to illuminate the area between each pillar. We own several Vari-Lite VL1000 Tungsten units and I have been very pleased with them so far, however we needed the extra intensity from the Arc units for this event.
The upper level of this building was covered in color using three cell cycs--15 in total. Budget and roof accessibility prohibited me from using my original design of 15 Coemar Panorama cycs.
Performance Stage
My original spec for the stage/performance area consisted of 24 Vari-Lite VL2000 fixtures (mixed spot and wash) and a host of conventionals. This was eventually changed to meet the rider requirements from Erykah Badu's LD, Martin Thomas, and ended with the equipment list below:
1 - High End Systems Wholehog II with Expansion Wing
12 - Martin Professional Mac 2000 Spot
4 - Martin Mac 2000 Wash
4 - HES Cyberlight
8 - ETC Source Four Ellipsoidal
72 - ETC Source Four PAR
4 - ACL Bar
3 - 8-Light Audience Abuse light
We chose to provide Martin Thomas with the list above, exactly matching Erykah's rider, so he could just walk in with his show disk and go. Even with Erykah's absence, Martin stuck around and ran the console for Wyclef – leaving David Schmeider from BML and myself to run the two architectural systems.
Low Library
This building is at the opposite end of the college square from the performance area. I lit three all three levels of this building and some mature trees on either side of the building with a variety of fixtures. The lower level pillars were lit with 10 Vari-Lite VL2416s and the wall behind them was lit with 10 three-cell cycs. The large trees on either side of the building were each lit with two Coemar Panorama Cycs providing contrasting color washes on the trees, matching what was happening on the front of both Butler and Low library.
The second level of the building consisted of a large octagonal wall with a 20' x 40' Arched window facing. The wall was lit with eleven 3-cell cyc's and the window was lit with two each of VL2000 Spot and Wash. All of these fixtures were set on the roof with about 15' of throw distance. The zoom in the VL2000's really enabled me to get excellent coverage and still maintain enough intensity to cut through the cycs washing the front of the window. The output of a VL2000 with a 700W lamp is outstanding.
The third level of the building is a large dome--this was slightly more challenging to light as there were no lighting positions anywhere near it or on any rooftop close by. The final solution was to place a pair of Lycian 4K Super Arc followspots on the seventh floor roof of Butler Library, about 700' away. It was my first time using these units and the intensity at that distance was quite incredible. Final equipment list for this area:
1 - Avolites Pearl
10 - Vari-Lite VL2416 Wash
2 - Vari-Lite VL2000 Wash
2 - Vari-Lite VL2000 Spot
2 - Lycian 4kW Super Arc Followspot
Russell Keitel programmed the Avolites Pearl for this building, coordinated with my programming of the Hog PC system controlling the other architectural system. Russell was unavailable to operate the console on Saturday night, so David Schmeider stepped into fill his shoes.

Who doesnt love apples? Theyre a healthy on-the-go snack, and theres more to do with apples than just make pies. Its time to experiment in the kitchen to discover new and delicious ways to use apples in your cooking.
During this season, discover how to use apples for snacks, entrees and even soups. Add some flavor to your fall dinners! Here are some favorite apple treats:
Red Cinnamon Apples (12 apples): A classic fall treat that tastes even better when you make your own!
What you need:
One dozen small firm apples
1 cup water
½ cup corn syrup
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dozen wooden craft sticks
Get cooking!
Boil the water, sugar and syrup together until mixture turns a brown caramel color (Tip: Use a candy thermometer and keep the temperature around 250 degrees F).
Remove from heat and add cinnamon and red food coloring; allow to cool slightly.
Put a stick into the core of each apple. Dip each apple into the syrup, drain well and place on buttered baking sheet to cool.
Grilled Apple, Bacon & Cheddar Sandwich (1 serving): Comfort food with a tasty twist.
2 slices of sourdough or multi-grain bread
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon (thick-cut, cooked crisp)
½ Granny Smith apple (cored, sliced thin)
Preheat a grill pan or griddle over medium heat.
Spread one slice of bread with your favorite mayo (try a spicy one). Top with two slices of cheddar, bacon, apple slices and two more slices of cheddar. Finish with the other slice of bread with mayo on it.
Butter the outsides of the bread and put on the hot grill. Grill for three minutes on each side. Cut and serve!
Pumpkin & Apple Soup (4 servings): Nothing says fall more than pumpkins and apples, so why not combine the two?
2 cups fresh pumpkin (roasted and diced)
1 apple (peeled and diced)
2 carrots (peeled and diced)
1 onion (diced)
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sage leaves
Salt and pepper
Get cooking!
Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Sauté onion, apple, carrot, roasted pumpkin and sage until tender (usually eight to 10 minutes).
Puree the mixture in a food processor or blender. Put the puree back in the stockpot, add the chicken stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Add cream and simmer for five more minutes (lower heat so it doesnt boil). Season with salt and pepper.
To roast pumpkin, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut pumpkin into several pieces, place on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool, peel away skin and dice!
(Recipe courtesy of the Food Network)
Hot Spiced Apple Cider (6 servings): Warm up to this delicious drink.
1¼ quarts apple cider
3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground allspice
7 whole cinnamon sticks (1 for cooking; 6 additional for garnish)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch salt
In medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, spices, salt and cider. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat.
Remove from heat, remove cinnamon stick and put cider in pitcher. Serve immediately, garnishing with cinnamon sticks.
Enjoy these tastes of fall!

- spectacular dinner at Delmonicos2oothdrDined on 8/30/2014We recently had an anniversary dinner at Emeril's Delmonico restaurant at the Venitian in Vegas. The meal was spectacular. I had their lobster bisque along with surf and turf. The bisque was full of succulent pieces of lobster and the flavor was tremendous. I always have it there, and it never fails to be memorable. The entre was three, melt in ur mouth medallions of beef tenderloin, with more tender chunks of lobster on top, covered with a delicious bearnaise sauce, and a side of harcort vert I added a yummy twice baked potato. All of the flavors so worked well together. The meal was preceded by a very well made mojito. We also enjoyed a delightful amuse busch as a anniversary gift. Great personal service.been there many times. Love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FairOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/29/2014Disappointing. Used to be our favorite steak place. The food is not nearly as good as it once was. The quality of the meat is not as high but the prices are way up. The table side caesar salad is way overpriced for the portion size and there is no value to the presentation. In addition, the taste of the dressing varies with the preparer--inconsistent
- A memorable delicious experiencevancityfoodlvrDined on 8/28/2014Everything we had for dinner and appetizers were amazing!!! The flavours in the steak exploded in my mouth as well as my chicken and waffles. The staff was extremely attentive and made it a pleasure to be there. Thank you delmonico's for a very tasty 10th wedding anniversary dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bob G.RJGJAGVIPDined on 8/28/2014Eaten here several time.....Continue to praise food and service....you have to try the sautéed mushrooms with garlic...Outstanding is an understatement !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/26/2014Dining at Delmonico's was a very bad experience. Salmon was uncooked. The t bone steak was dry and had no flavor even after adding garlic to it. The potatoes were hard. The waitress cleared the table but never asked us how the meal was or if we wanted to take the left over with us. We didn't but it would have been nice to be asked. The manager never came over yo ask how the meal was even though there were only a few tables that were occupied. I would never come back or recommend this place.
- Never dissapointsmulsDined on 8/22/2014Been to the last 2 years and will always visit. Amazing filet mignon and lobster bisque is unreal too! Great service and very classy ambiance.Special Features:
- Great lunchFoodieFredDined on 8/22/2014We had a great lunch here. The restaurant was quiet and the service was good. The heirloom tomato salad was devine as was the salmon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SnoopyDined on 8/20/2014As always, my steak was perfectly done. I keep coming back to Delmonico, when I make my yearly trip to Las Vegas. They never disappoint!Special Features:
- Vegas Has a great Steak HouseSteakhouseDined on 8/19/2014Delmonico service is up to the level of any top restaurant in Vegas. The food is excellent and the wine list has affordable wines (compared to other comparable restaurants who don't offer much below $100)to blend in to the great food offering.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 25th anniversary visit on 8/19/2014baldeagle1Dined on 8/19/2014My husband and I just wanted to thank the staff at Delmonico steakhouse for making our anniversary truly special. We got there early for our reservation but they accomodated us. It was our first visit and our head waiter Ryan was very gracious, helpful and kind. The food was incredible but the staff made our visit wonderful. We will definitely make a visit whenever we are in Las Vegas.Special Features:
- birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/19/2014The steaks were not as tender as expected but tasted good. The lobster bisque was mediocre and the asparagus were tender.Special Features:
- YumkenziDined on 8/17/2014This place has the most amazing food! I knew that Emeril's restaurants are good but this was heavenly. I made the reservation for my boyfriends birthday because he really wanted a steak. It was the best steak he's ever had! I had the lobster salad with oranges and citrus vinaigrette and it was phenomenal! The foie gras was exceptional and the service was wonderful! They made the occasion very memorable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a place to go for a quite mealLoudDined on 8/16/2014For the price this place should have been a little more quieter and up to standards on dress attire... Wanted a nice Romantic dinner got a loud and annoying dinner...Special Features:
- TOO LOUDDMChampDined on 8/16/2014We have eaten at the Delmonico Steakhouse several times. The food is very good and the service is excellent; however, it is pricey. The problem I have with this restaurant is that it is way too loud. Next to us were several large groups that were actually yelling at each other. I realize that we were in Vegas; however, I think at some point the staff has to ask their patrons to keep it down. To the right of us was a group of men that were inebriated and yelling over each other. Their language was extremely foul. As I walked to the restroom, I heard many loud groups. I know that it is difficult to ask people to keep their voices down, but someone really needs to handle loud patrons here, I won't be coming back.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Excellent food and service. I took the wife and kids and we all loved itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantNoirDined on 8/15/2014Everything about this restaurant was great. The food was superb, simple but elegant setting and the service was spectacular. Our server was not friendly but the guy serving the drinks made up for it. They were very attentive and made sure that the diners feel special. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Thumbs up to Emeril's menu!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Good SteakSirlyboyDined on 8/15/2014Not that its hard to find a good steak in Las Vegas but I was pleasantly surprised that it was relatively easy to make a reservation with only 1 hour notice on a Friday night. Pretty basic stuff here, had the bone in rib-eye medium rare, a baked potato and some veggies while my companion had a New York and asparagus. The food was prepared according to order and the meal was very tasty. Couple of glasses of wine (2) later and a $90 per person bill (with tip) so pretty reasonable for a good hunk of meat. The ambiance was muted and there really was no night life, view or excitement, so if you are looking for more vibrancy perhaps you should look elsewhere....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- At the top of my listfoodie05Dined on 8/14/2014Whenever I am in Las Vegas, I always make it appoint to go to Delmonico's Steakhouse. Their food, wine and customer service has been outstanding in the past and continues to be stellar. I appreciate how you are able to take your time to eat and enjoy your evening when dining at Delmonico's. It's always a special treat to go here and I will continue to make it my go-to spot when I dine in Las Vegas. I highly recommend Delmonico's whether it be a casual night out or a special event to anyone.Special Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/11/2014Great location between two great resorts. Steakhouse sure passed the eye test. Very extensive wine list & our server was very knowledgeable & helpful. We had an appetizer of king crab legs. Everything you could want. But we came for steaks! This is where the we were disappointed. My wife ordered the filet medium. It came out well done. I ordered the bone in rib eye medium rare, came out cooked as ordered. The steak was grainy & tuff. The steak seasoning they use is no enhancement to the steak. Not a flavor to remember. The banana cream pie was one to remember! Best part of the meal. Lots of strong points to this visit but a flop because of the steaks - the reason for dining here.
- Great as always!TZskiDined on 8/10/2014The menu has something for almost everyone's taste buds. Excellent Bbq shrimp starter, excellent Caesar Salad made table side. The King crab can be ordered hot or cold and is served with a great white sauce. Main course of Chateaux Brion was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Finished with Signature Banana Cream pie which was full of monstrous banana chunks and tasted fantastic as per usual. Can't beat service. Service team is efficient, well spoken and very informative. Wine list is very extensive.... Be prepared to spend some time looking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- service excellent!bigspenderDined on 8/10/2014Seating uncomfortable after a while, must be a little dated? Overall best money spent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't go for ambiencekimindallasDined on 8/9/2014Look of restaurant was little lacking, nothing exciting to see and the restrooms were terrible. Wine list was great, food was good. Don't set your expectations too high or you'll be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FoodVicksterDined on 8/9/2014So, this is a steakhouse, but a couple of my friends ordered the pork chops and they were so thick and cooked to perfection. My other friend ordered the halibut and almost ended up licking her plate; needless to say she never had such a moist cut of halibut cooked just so. Most of the steaks were perfectly pink and melted in your mouth. Though the birthday boy ordered his medium well and it was charred on both sides. So, a word to the wise, order yours medium rare and get one of the best steaks ever. The only complaint we have was the bread. They used to serve a freshly baked loaf that the party could cut and share, that was great! Now, they have this souffle type of fluffy, egg bread/roll that was eggy and cold, and none of us enjoyed it.Special Features:

- Wait staff was superb!ValMDined on 8/7/2014Excellent staff - so classy and made the experience fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible!FoodieFeastDined on 8/6/2014We do not usually go to a restaurant of this caliber, but when I saw there was a Delmonico's at the Venetian I booked a reservation. Our waiter and the rest of the staff were wonderful and friendly - attentive, but not overly present. The food was great! We sampled a steak, the barbequed salmon, side of asparagus, the duck egg creme brulee, the dark chocolate cake, and the shrimp/andouille gumbo. Oh my gosh, the gumbo was absolutely incredible! Such a dark, rich, flavorful, roux! The flavors were perfectly balanced. I would come here for just a bowl of this liquid heaven! The steak was wonderful, the salmon beautifully cooked, crusted and flavored. Amazing place! Thanks, Emeril and your excellent chefs and staff!Special Features:
- Always wonderful!SteakloverVIPDined on 8/6/2014I've been going to Delmonico for years. It has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas. Amazing steaks, desserts and drinks. It's great for lunch too. Delicious burgers and steak sandwiches. Awesome restaurant. Love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StunningLTaylorDined on 8/5/2014With steak houses you can find all sorts at all different levels of service/ food. Delmonico was perfect. 4 of us went there for our last night in Vegas and were dressed up to the nines for the occasion. The staff were fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. The food was outstanding, a true 'fine dining' location and being located within The Venetian is a great location for it. The atmosphere was lovely, a busy restaurant but it still felt really private and romantic. We had 3 or 4 waiters looking after our every need, toping up your wine and water when your glass got a little low and checking everything was going well without being 'in your face' or interrupting your group. Overall, a must if you want great steak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceVenka78Dined on 8/4/2014The server suggested items from each part of the menu. We went with his suggestions and everything turned out great. The food came out at the right time and overall everything was timed and cooked perfectly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- steaks with meat in themvinoevittlesDined on 8/3/2014on booking a birthday dinner for a steak lover she chose Delmonico's. All 14 people enjoyed steak dinners from chateaubriand to rib eye, all were cooked perfectly and served with pizzaz. A cake was ordered from an off site bakery and the staff of Delmonico's were gracious about cutting it and serving it with care. I personally would not generally order steak but this place is as good as any and better than most I have ever dined for steak, service, combined with a grand visual experience. Also varied and interesting wine/drink list.Special Features:
- Beautiful place!AlisaDined on 8/3/2014Delmonico's is beautiful, but it has its quirks. Gorgeously decorated, and service is very good, if a little cool. The ribeye steak was good, but I have had better for a lesser price. The cheese grits were excellent, as was the bacon appetizer (Ko something?). The lobster bisque was exquisite, and their filet mignon is wonderful. Things I found odd were: sitting at a beautifully set table, and having our plates removed because they were "for decoration", and going from the amazing dining room into a plain hall with no decoration, and then into a bathroom that was decent in the sink area, but not what I would expect w the stalls. Sorry, but the casino has better bathrooms. Details are important, Emeril!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food. Great service.lsvseattleDined on 8/2/2014We chose Delmonico's based on reviews and had a great experience. The steaks were incredible. The staff was knowledgeable and service was flawless. We had a fantastic night and really enjoyed the meal!Special Features:
- Amazing food, even better serviceB2dineDined on 8/2/2014I've been to a number of Emeril restaurants and they all have one thing in common... the food is always superb and exceeds my expectations, but the service is always better. Delmonico's was no exception. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and delightful. Couldn't have been happier. Mixed cocktails were also especially good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!dcpv1Dined on 8/1/2014We absolutely loved our anniversary at Delmonico! We shared the BBQ shrimp, ceasar salad (table side), bone-in rib eye (medium-rare), smashed potatoes & mushrooms. The service was fantastic, everyone was quick, responsive & friendly. The steak was AMAZING - we both agreed it was the best steak we have ever had. The sear was perfect and inside was perfectly medium rare. My husband said his only complaint would have been the potatoes were a bit thin - I agree but they were still delicious. The herb popovers (similar to a small herbed yorkshire puddings) were great. We could not finish everything so I think sharing was a perfect way to go. I think the ambience lacked a bit - the restaurant was void of any pictures or color.Special Features:
- Love this Restaurant!AmandaVIPDined on 8/1/2014This restaurant was amazing. The food was good and so was the service. We ordered off the pre-theater menu which is three courses for $65 per person. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and I'm still dreaming of them. I have never had a sauce that good. For the second course I order a steak. Again, I was not disappointed. Because I'm gluten intolerant I was really worried when it came to dessert, but the restaurant was very accommodating and provided me with a flour-less chocolate cake with an abundance of fresh berries. There is nothing negative to say about this restaurant. This restaurant is worth the trip and the price.Special Features:
- Great Steakhouse!StriderDined on 7/31/2014Eating low carb in Vegas isn't the easiest thing to do. After 4 straight nights at the Whole Foods salad bar, I was craving some steak! I hadn't been to Delmonico in a number of years, but remembered they had a great bone in Rib Eye. I booked my table through Open Table while in my conference and headed there at 6. I was seated promptly, the service was GREAT, the team serving my section was very attentive but not over the top, even though there was a table of 12 seated right after me I never felt neglected. The steak was great! As was the asparagus, fresh & delightful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PhenomenalLuvVegasDined on 7/29/2014All I can say is YUMMY! This place is great. From the service to the food, we were impressed. The wait staff were always there to fill our water or take a plate, yet they did not hover. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the Gumbo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

CATEGORIES Trailers and Clips, Video, CinematicalBefore Edgar Wright paid homage to the nerdy universe he loves in 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,' he was stockpiling his favorite film moments on VHS and editing the living daylights out of them. Everything from 'Goodfellas' to 'Terminator' and 'Bonnie and Clyde' makes an appearance in this montage of screen gems and guns that a 19-year-old Wright whipped up while at Bournemouth Art College.
The 1993 video gives a good feel for Wright's sense of pace and timing, even at an early age. His humor is in full effect, too, as he sets his "bullet ballet" to a Beatles song that blasts the NRA. Wright peeped a little bit about the making of the montage, saying, "All of the clips were sourced from either films I've recorded off the TV, sell thru VHS tapes I had bought and also films that happened to be in the college library. I literally had piles of VHS tapes in the edit suite. So that explains some of the glitchy clips." We forgive you.
Check out the full video after the jump. If you have some time on your hands, see if you can name the movies sampled. Visit Wright's blog to make your movie brain happy.

by ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
Rhode Island) – Happy Father's
Day to all! George Washington was the "Father of our Country," but apparently
that was all he fathered. He had no children, and by most accounts Washington served his
country; was faithful to his wife; and left the scandal to his successors. The
same can't be said for a lot of other politicians since then. As promised, this
week we are looking at political sex scandals, of all stripes!
"The Comeback Kid" – Former South Carolina Governor Mark
Sanford (R-SC) shocked the political world in early May, when he won a seat in
Congress. Sanford – who was famously caught in Argentina with his mistress while Governor – had
told his staff and family he had gone hiking on the Appalachian
Trail. Sanford and his mistress are now engaged. South
Carolinians seemed in a forgiving mood. They are not alone.
"The Comeback Kid, Part II" – Former Congressman Anthony
Weiner (D-NY) is making his own comeback attempt, hoping to become the next
Mayor of New York City. People laughed when Weiner entered the race - believing
the Congressman who sent "self-portraits" of his anatomy out on Twitter - was a
political has-been. But, Weiner has been gaining in the polls, and is now within
five points of the frontrunner. Hopefully, no one will say it's going to be a
"photo finish!"
"Trending?" – So, Mark Sanford survives a sex scandal, and
is voted back into office. Wow!!! That must be a rare feat in an age when the
public says, "Throw the bums out!" Anthony Weiner has no chance
either, right? Wrong!!! In fact, more often than not,
the public embraces and forgives its flawed candidates. Most politicians I've
covered over three decades have, in fact, survived sex scandals. Here are some of
the classics:
"The Tidal Basin Bombshell" - Congressman
Wilbur Mills (D-AR). Mills had an affair with "Fanny Foxe," a Washington, DC
stripper. The two were drunk when he drove their car into the Washington, DC
Tidal Basin in 1974. He was re-elected later that year, although was stripped
of his Chairmanship of the prestigious House Ways and Means Committee.
"Scandal by the Bay!" – Former San
Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom had an affair with the wife of a close friend,
both of whom served on his staff. Still, he was re-elected Mayor with 72
percent of the vote and is now Lt. Governor of California. At the age of 45, he is likely a
candidate for Governor or U.S. Senate some day, and either job could be his
launching pad to the White House.
"Bipartisan Scandal" – Last week when
I wrote about Democratic Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, I received an email excoriating
me for ignoring Republican sex scandals (which isn't true, just Google my
columns and you'll find plenty of GOP fodder). My point is, neither side can
claim the other is the sex scandal king. It's fairly well distributed between
both parties.
"Equal Opportunity Sex Scandals" -
Gay or straight, politics is an equal opportunity offender. Congressman Barney
Frank's (D-MA) one time live-in boyfriend actually worked as a male prostitute
during the day while Frank was tending to his Congressional duties. Frank was
promptly reelected for another 25 years. Another gay Congressman, Gerry Studds
(D-MA) had an affair with a 17 year old male page, but Studds (yes, that's his
real name), was reelected for another 15 years.
"Jail Bait" - At the same time of
the Studds-page affair, Republican Congressman Phil Crane (R-IL) was also
caught have sex with a 17 year old Congressional page - his being a female
page. Both Congressmen were censured on the day. Crane was reelected for
another 20 years, and, as mentioned, Studds enjoyed a long career, too.
"Madam Who?" - Current U.S.
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) was a client of the famed "D.C. Madam," a
known prostitute. Vitter was reelected to another six year term.
"The Cat with Nine Lives" - President
Bill Clinton remains immensely popular despite his sex scandals and
impeachment. In fact polls indicated he could have won a third term in 2000,
had it not been for term limits. The public seems to love to forgive and give
second chances (and in some cases such as Clinton,
third and fourth and fifth chances). In 1997, Clinton was testifying in a different sexual
harassment lawsuit brought by Paula Jones. Clinton was impeached for perjury when
Jones's lawyers asked him about Monica Lewinsky, and he lied under oath.
"Equal Rights Amendment" - With
lots of women in politics now, they are tempted, too. The late Congresswoman
Helen Chenoweth (R-ID) admitted to an affair which took place a few years
before she was elected, but the man later served on her staff. My favorite is
Utah State Rep. Katherine Bryson. Hoping to catch a burglar, her husband installed
a secret video camera in a condominium they owned. Unfortunately it videotaped
Mrs. Bryson and her male lover instead! Oops!

Have you ever talked on a cell phone while you were driving? If you're being honest, the answer is probably yes. But one state lawmaker is pushing for a bill that would ban hand-held cell phone use while driving. If it passes, the measure would mean drivers could only use hands-free devices while they're behind the wheel. It's an idea that has met resistance in Georgia, but State Representative Rahn Mayo says it deserves a hearing this year. Mayo cites the potential to save lives as the reason for making the push. He says there are too many distracted drivers on the roads, and many of them are using cell phones while they drive. In 2010. a bill banning texting and driving was passed. Police say enforcing the texting ban has been difficult, and the state says have been just under 2,000 convictions since the measure went into effect. Mayo says his bill would be easier to enforce because drivers seen holding a phone could be cited. The legislature has already banned talking on a phone while driving for teenagers. Mayo plans to ask for a hearing on his bill when lawmakers go back into session next week.

Daly Selected to NSCAA/Adidas All-Region Team
The NSCAA/Adidas Mid-Atlantic All-Region Team was announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and Lake Erie College senior defender Justin Daly (Hubbard, Ohio/Hubbard) was among the list of honorees.
The Storm starter was one of 33 players selected to represent the Mid-Atlantic Region. He was one of 11 chosen to the second-team – three teams consisting of 11 players each are picked.
Daly was one of the Storm's leading defenders, helping LEC earn an overall record of 10-8-1. He finished the season with four goals, four assists and 12 points. He earned AMCC First-Team All-Conference, AMCC Player of the Week and D3Kicks Mid-Atlantic Region Second-Team. He also concluded his four-year career as one of the Storm's all-time leading scorers as a defender.
"Justin is the first soccer player from Lake Erie to receive an honor at such a high level," said head coach Dale Sheptak.
"He is an outstanding student-athlete and has had a bigger impact on Lake Erie soccer than I could ever express. This all-region honor is a nice capstone to his outstanding career and truly shows the respect that opposing coaches have for him as a player."
The NSCAA/Adidas honor is available to those players nominated by their coach or another. All players competing in collegiate soccer are eligible.
