Simple and efficient—boring qualities in people, but the perfect combination for snowboard pants.
Just because the Volcom Carbon Pant likes to keep it simple, doesn't mean it messes around when it comes to a demanding day of riding. The V-Science two-layer shell, Oxford lining, and critical taped seams work hard to keep you warm and dry, while the boot gaiter and lace hook keep the snow away from your boots. The Stone butt patch will keep your backside dry while you're strapping in, and the adjustable inner waistband, ergo fit, and triple reinforced rise make this pant comfortable from first tracks to final runs.

The Broad Chare – A Proper Pub
May 6th, 2011
At long last, The Broad Chare, Newcastle's newest pub, is open for business and taking bookings and orders for this weekend.
The opening is the culmination of months of hard work and a creative partnership between Live Theatre and Terry Laybourne's 21 Hospitality Group. It's a food-led pub like no other in the city … a venue that will fill a gap and establish its own unique place in the market.
The teams are all in place with chef Chris Eagle and manager Steve Dunn expecting a lively start to trade from today. The menu – available as a download on this site – offers a great range of simple, locally sourced bar snacks along with a range of hearty main courses and a 'dish of the day' – and this Friday we are pleased to offer our own version of a classic, fish and chips.
The dish of the day on Saturday is Irish Stew and we're doing Roast Beef and Yorkshire puddings on Sunday (from 12.50pm).
Come on down and share a snack, a meal or just a pint of beer – maybe our own pale ale, The Writer's Block, brewed exclusively for us by Wylam Brewery.

Black Ops 2 ups the ante on Zombies with a campaign, sandbox mode, and griefing
[Disclosure: Activision paid for airfare and ground transportation, as well as a hotel room for one night.] The presence of zombies in Call of Duty started as something of a joke; a pet project built internally, later inserted into the main game and revealed as an unlockable at the end of Treyarch's World at War. Since that time, the Call of Duty zombies have gained a following all their own, and the simple wave-based survival game of four years ago has evolved into something that could easily be its own game. Mark Lamia, studio head of Treyarch, called the zombie modes of World at War and Black Ops "a social game." It's the mode you run to if you want to play with people instead of against them, as the oncoming horde of the undead will test your survival and coordination skills. Black Ops 2 seems to want to offer something for every FPS fan, no matter the skill level or tastes. Zombies are no exception to that rule, as the mode now boasts several options for co-op and single play, as well as an entirely new mode in Black Ops 2.Survival is the most familiar mode to returning zombie slayers. In this mode, up to four players fend off wave after wave of the zombie horde until every player has bit the dust. It's the quintessential zombie killing experience from World at War and Black Ops distilled into a simple game type. However, it's not the main mode like it was before. The big draw for zombie killing this time around is a mode called Tranzit, which contains an "expansive world" that will act as a sandbox for players, Lamia said. Although it won't be as detailed as the single-player's story, this is also where the story behind Call of Duty's zombies comes in. The map is far larger than before, and introduces two new concepts: the bus and buildables. The bus is self-explanatory: it really is just a bus that the characters in Tranzit have boarded up and fortified for use as transportation across the game's new areas. We didn't get to see any raw game play of the bus in action, but the trailer revealed that the vehicle sections would be much more than simple loading screens. Zombies will tear at the planks and boards, and crawl along the bus' sides, leaving it up to you to blast them off before you're overrun or nabbed from the sides. Buildables were likewise never shown, but Lamia said that Tranzit mode would have items scattered about its map that were designed to be combined with other such items to form defenses, weapons, items, or even help in accessing new areas. It sounded like an homage or following in the footsteps of other zombie killer games that feature item crafting like Dead Rising or Dead Island, but Lamia couldn't give any details as to whether the buildables in Black Ops 2 would reach that level of complexity.
Griefing has become a legitimate strategy
The most interesting of the modes revealed was called Grief. It's an interesting twist on the standard humans vs. infected-style gameplay of games like Left 4 Dead, and Lamia revealed that the title of the mode doesn't refer to a deep feeling of sadness, but the process of griefing other players. In Grief, players are split into either two teams, though there are actually three opposing forces. Immediately you have humans vs. zombies, but the humans are then further divided into two teams: CIA and CDC. The CIA and CDC teams can't kill each other, but they can perform special actions in-game – Lamia was vague about what, exactly – that will make it harder for the opposite human team to survive. Since the last human team standing wins, the game mode becomes a passive-aggressive tug-of-war balancing act between being aggressive and facing down the horde while also trying to lure the undead to your human competitors. You'll want to work with them one minute to save your own skin, then stab them in the back as soon as you can to eliminate the competition. It sounded like a blast, and I can imagine constructing a set of custom games with a double-agent twist that turns everyone paranoid. Zombie mode is more open to players than ever, as options in Black Ops 2 will allow you to tweak settings like starting round, turning on headshots-only, or dialing down the difficulty on solo play. Since the mode now uses the multiplayer engine instead of the modified single-player engine it relied on before, the mode now supports things like leaderboards and stat-tracking as well. While it's disappointing that Treyarch wasn't taking questions and we didn't get any hands-on time with the new and improved zombie game in Black Ops 2, it's clear that Treyarch is approaching the mode with accessibility and variety in mind: buildables mean less reliance on the game and more autonomous strategy, Tranzit may lead to a more fully-realized world and fleshed-out story, and Grief turns what was previously co-op only into a competitive game. Zombies may be starting to overstay their welcome as the perennial favorite enemy in video games, but if Treyarch can deliver with their new zombies modes, we may not mind them sticking around for a bit longer.

Rock Hall educators Dr. Lauren Onkey and Jason Hanley will examine the careers of Inductees Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew – one of the greatest partnerships in the history of rock and roll—and their contribution to the birth of rock and roll. This evening takes us from the early days when Dave Bartholomew heard Fats Domino playing in Billy Diamond's band at the Hideaway Club in New Orleans, to the string of influential recordings they wrote and recorded at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studio on the corner of Rampart and Dumaine starting in 1949 (including "The Fat Man," "Ain't That A Shame," "Blue Monday," and "I'm Walkin"). We will also explore how their music drew both black and white fans and pushed at the boundaries of racial segregation.

|Cultivated freesias
|Scientific classification
Eckl. ex Klatt
|Type species
|Freesia refracta
(Jacquin) Klatt
See text.
Freesia is a genus of around 16 species of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya down to South Africa,[1] most species being found in Cape Province.[citation needed] Species of the former genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia.[1] The plants commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species. Some other species are also grown as ornamental plants.
They are herbaceous plants which grow from a corm 1–2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of narrow leaves 10–30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10–40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of flowers with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those formerly placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have flat flowers.
Freesias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.[citation needed]
The genus was named in honor of Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese (1795–1876), German physician.[2]
The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families lists 16 species as of August 2012[update]:[1]
- Freesia alba (G.L.Mey.) Gumbl. (syn. F. gentilis N.E.Br., F. herbertii N.E.Br., F. picta N.E.Br.)
- Freesia andersoniae L.Bolus
- Freesia caryophyllacea (Burm.f.) N.E.Br. (syn. F. elimensis L.Bolus, F. parva N.E.Br., F. xanthospila (DC.) Klatt)
- Freesia corymbosa (Burm.f.) N.E.Br. (syn. F. armstrongii W.Watson, F. brevis N.E.Br.)
- Freesia fergusoniae L.Bolus
- Freesia fucata J.C.Manning & Goldblatt
- Freesia grandiflora (Baker) Klatt
- Freesia laxa (Thunb.) Goldblatt & J.C.Manning (syn. F. cruenta (Lindl.) Klatt)
- Freesia leichtlinii Klatt (syn. F. middlemostii F.Barker, F. muirii N.E.Br.)
- Freesia marginata J.C.Manning & Goldblatt
- Freesia occidentalis L.Bolus (syn. F. framesii L.Bolus)
- Freesia refracta (Jacq.) Klatt (syn. F. hurlingii L.Bolus)
- Freesia sparrmanii (Thunb.) N.E.Br.
- Freesia speciosa L.Bolus (syn. F. flava (E.Phillips & N.E.Br.) N.E.Br.)
- Freesia verrucosa (B.Vogel) Goldblatt & J.C.Manning (syn. F. juncea (Pourr.) Klatt)
- Freesia viridis (Aiton) Goldblatt & J.C.Manning
Species of the former genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia:[1]
- Anomatheca cruenta Lindl. = Freesia laxa subsp. laxa
- Anomatheca grandiflora Baker = Freesia grandiflora
- Anomatheca juncea (Pourr.) Ker Gawl. = Freesia verrucosa
- Anomatheca laxa (Thunb.) Goldblatt = Freesia laxa
- Anomatheca verrucosa (B.Vogel) Goldblatt = Freesia verrucosa
- Anomatheca viridis (Aiton) Goldblatt = Freesia viridis
- Anomatheca xanthospila (DC.) Ker Gawl. = Freesia caryophyllacea
Cultivation and uses[edit]
The plants usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers ranging from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are widely cultivated and readily increased from seed. Due to their specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in hand creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed]
They can be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall below about −7 °C (20 °F)), and in the spring in Zones 4-8.[3]
F. laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other species of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat rather than cup-shaped flowers.[4][5]
Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy cold dormancy which results in formation of buds within a predicted number of weeks – often 5 weeks at 55°F.[citation needed]

A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump that's most often situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. Often a lipoma is easy to identify because it moves readily with slight finger pressure. It's doughy to touch and usually not tender. You may have more than one lipoma. Lipomas can occur at any age, but they're most often detected during middle age.
A lipoma isn't cancer and is usually harmless. Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma bothers you, is painful or is growing, you may want to have it removed.
Lipomas are:
When to see a doctor
A lipoma is rarely a serious medical condition. But if you notice a lump or swelling anywhere on your body, have it checked by your doctor.
The exact cause of lipomas is unknown. Lipomas tend to run in families, so genetic factors likely play a role in their development.
Several factors may increase your risk of developing a lipoma, including:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. You may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and know what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For lipoma, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions, too, including:
To diagnose a lipoma, your doctor may perform:
There's a very small chance that a lump resembling a lipoma may actually be a form of cancer called liposarcoma. Liposarcomas — cancerous tumors in fatty tissues — grow rapidly, don't move under the skin and are usually painful. A biopsy, MRI or CT scan is typically done if your doctor suspects liposarcoma.
No treatment is usually necessary for a lipoma. However, if the lipoma is in a location that bothers you, is painful or is growing, your doctor might recommend that it be removed. Lipoma treatments include:

Diner Reviews
Appetizers were great, had Green
and Ceasar salad. Main Entrée had the fish special and Sirloin steak, Fish was very blan lacked seasoning, steak was over cooked ordered medium and got well done. Baked potatoe was highlight of night, was excellent. Service was very good waitress and clean staff did an amazing job"
Dined on 4/5/2014
I was very impressed with the
flavours of the items we chose. Garlic spinach was the best I have ever tasted outside my home and the lobster was buttery (even before dipping it in the butter). The fries are five star as well. My criticism with the restaurant is that the serving staff, who was eager to please, did lack some refined techniques for this calibre of menu pricing. A hefty price for LongIslandTea that was over-riddled with coke & lime mix. Server neglected to have one of us taste wine prior to serving us both. Two servers, eager to please, unknowingly kept interrupting our conversation to see if everything was okay. ...Just so you know. In any event, we'll be back."
Dined on 4/4/2014
I brought my Dad to celebrate his
90th birthday at the ACC. Of course we were hoping to be able to dine at the Hot Stove. He was thrilled to be there. The service was great. Many of the staff came over during our meal to shake his hand and wish him a happy birthday. Our food was really good, the service was really good. The people serving and around us were great. If I had to pick one thing that was a challenge was the noise level making it a bit difficult to hear once the place gets rocking, but considering the energy of the place, that was almost a non-issue. Thanks for making it a memorable!"
Dined on 4/3/2014
The design of this restaurant
results in two negative situations: cramped passage for staff and customers and noise levels so high you can't have a decent conversation. The service was such that we were constantly interrupted while we were talking/eating, but ignored when we needed service. For the price of this restaurant, I was not impressed."
Dined on 4/3/2014
Food was horribly prepared...no
doubt why the place was virtually empty. Stick with Platinum Club or Air Canada Club."
Dined on 4/2/2014
Dinner was great. Steaks cooked to
order and out in plenty of time prior to puck drop. Apps are good. Pricing is expensive, but to be expected I guess. Table was booked for 4 at 5pm and we managed to hit our seats for about 8 minutes at the start of the game."
Dined on 4/1/2014
Food wasn't nearly good enough for
the price. Asparagus was pretty much raw. Steak was ok but I've had better."

Perfect spot within the ACC for a
game night meal. Staff was attentive and professional. Filet mignonette was cooked to perfection!"

We got my in-laws a gift
certificate here and they really did not enjoy it. They felt people were packed in like sardines and said that it was so noisy they were not even able to talk over dinner. They said the food was ok, but felt they were overlooked by servers because they had not ordered much alcohol. "

A very good pre-hockey steak, with
prompt service. Exactly what we wanted and perfect for the occasion."

If you want something a little
more substantial than pizza or hot dogs before a game, then this is the place. My wife and I dropped in before a Raptors game. Food is actually very good - seafood and steaks predominantly: steaks are perfectly cooked and the lobster salad was very good too. It is not cheap - $10 per prawn I thought was a little excessive, but the prawns were good! - however you are in the ACC so expect to pay a premium. Beer and wine lists also very good. The best thing about this place is the service though. Very attentive and given they are set up for pre-game clientele, they get you through efficiently, but you don't feel rushed. We booked in advance, probably did not need to, but I hear it gets busy before Leaf games."
Dined on 3/12/2014
The tables are way too close
together and the service was quite rushed. The food was nothing special either."
Dined on 3/9/2014
The experience was good, the
server was friendly and helpful. The food was just good not great and the prices were on the high side but understandable due to the convenience for the game."
Dined on 3/8/2014
With all the staff there we had to
ask multiple times for water. Had my 2 boys there and they had to eat dinner without a drink or water. I My cousin and I had no drink for over 15 mins either. They brought out the wrong salad for me twice. The good was excellent when it arrived but will never go back"

We had a reservation for 5:15 on
Saturday Mar 8th for the Toronto-Philly game. I made the reservation for that time to have enough time to eat and get to our seats for the pre-game warm up. We arrived on time and placed our food order about 10minutes after arriving. We did not receive our food until 6:35, totally missing the pre-game skate. I asked the waitress to speak to the manager, which the waitress did go and let her know that we waned to speak to her. I told her how unhappy we were with the service we received. She did take our food off of the bill, which I was thankful for. We were told that the waitress did not order our food. For this reason we will not be returning to eat here again."

Frequented this restaurant as we
wanted in close proximity to the hockey game at the ACC. The menu and prices were that of a high end steakhouse so we were anticipating an outstanding meal. After ordering, the steaks, vegetables, etc., all arrived with 5-6 minutes after ordering. Obviously, our food was pre-prepared and tasted like it. My filet was more what I'd suspect a Waffle House steak to taste like. The chef had even cut into the centre of my steak, to check if it was cooked, "Medium". (A good steakhouse will never do that.). My steak was grossly over cooked and tougher than shoe leather! But the meal was fast. I'd suggest that future patrons might consider a stadium dog & beer. Youre experience will be better and just as fast."
Dined on 3/8/2014
I'd recommend this restaurant for
anybody going to the ACC for an event. Nice to get in early, have a meal and dine at the legendary Hot Stove. Nice atmosphere, good service and good meal. Nice to be in the building and walk throgh the platinum area before going to our seats. But to be honest, you pay for the experience, not the meal. The same meal anywhere else is half the price. Good meal, not great. Small menu, over priced food. I'd go back, but it's for the experience."
Dined on 3/1/2014
I have been before. The Hot Stove
is very conveniently located for ACC events. The atmosphere is good and the food is good (not great), although very expensive compared to other comparable options. On this occassion, the service was very slow, which resulted in us being late for our event. It took 10 minutes for a waiter to even speak to us after being seated, and then more than an hour for our food to come after ordering. This was inexcusable since they even had a limited menu because of the special event at the ACC. I will not return, and will choose other nearby options."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Quiet the dissapointment. We had a
reservation for 6:30 on Sat evening prior to the Sting & Paul Simon concert. We were seated immediately but waited 15 mins before anyone came to our table to offer us a drink. Food arrived within a reasonable time but the vegetables were luke warm. They offered to bring out hot vegetables but we kept the main dish...the second round of vegetables was only mildly warmer but we decided just to eat what we could. They comped our drinks but I think that wasn't really enough for the poor service and meal. Not a positive experience. As we were leaving I saw the table next to us return one of their meals too. Setting is key and great to walk out to the stadium but definitely need to work on a couple of items!!"
Dined on 3/1/2014
The Hot Stove Club is conveniently
located right at the ACC. No need to go outside to get to the venue. If dining with a group, ensure everyone has their ticket prior to entering the dining entrance otherwise you will need to wait outside until your guests join you. Food choice is reasonable and prepared adequately, however some items were served undercooked (calamari) and some over cooked (filet). Server was somewhat inattentive, asking some but not all members of the group if they were satisfied, offering water, drinks etc. Noise level was very high making conversation difficult even when sitting in a booth. Very busy location pre concert."

Went to the Hot Stove Club before
the Sting and Paul Simon concert. I was with my two daughters and their partners and one of my nieces. Very attentive staff (Andy, Maggie and Michelle), my only reason for 3 stars on the food was my med/rare prime rib was rare. Had a wonderful time with my family and would definitely go back. Excellent concert too!"
Dined on 3/1/2014
The Hot Stove is somewhat true to
the former location at Maple Leaf Gardens where Harold Ballard used to hold court with other men with business expense accounts, and women were not welcome: lots of beef on the menu and really, really expensive alcohol. The food here is pricey but very good; the wine list is extensive but the prices well beyond the normal downtown mark-up. The service is superb - I can't fathom how they can graciously serve the entire restaurant in the two hour window before ACC events, but they do. Somehow without making you feel rushed and without losing attention to detail."
Dined on 3/1/2014
We picked the restaurant for
convenience and that part was great. However the service was a bit like being at a low priced diner. We were given water upon seating and handed the sheet of paper that was the menu. We had to ask for a wine list. We placed the order for our wine and shortly after another server took our food order. We had just begun to visit with each other when the food arrived (within about 4 minutes of the order) and the wine had not arrived. We felt a bit like they wanted us to eat and leave. They had no tea selection or decaf capucinno. They never asked if we wanted anythin else and dumped the bill on the table in under an hour and a half. All this lack of attention for a $33 chicken dinner. Not impressed."
Dined on 3/1/2014
The Hot Stove is a great place to
eat before or after a game. It makes you feel like an exclusive member even if you're not-a ticket to the game will allow you to make a reservation. The food is prepared how you want it, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere is not overwhelming or too loud. You can also check your coat there and get it after the game."
Dined on 2/8/2014
The food was good and the service

2nd time to the Hot Stove and this
time with friends. Very good. Waiter ensured that two dietary issues were taken care of and ensured that ingredients of dishes were clear of an allergy. All dishes were great."
Dined on 1/15/2014
The food was incredible. We loved
every bite. The service, however, was not at the same par as the food. Slow and forgotten. Person sitting at table beside me wanted a water refill for 15 min. Only was refilled when server came to give the bill. We were only asked once for drinks - both glasses sitting empty for half of meal. It's unfortunate. With cost of eating at the Hot Stove the service should be impeccable! Not sure if will be back."
Dined on 12/27/2013
Our first visit to the Hot Stove
at the ACC. We had a 5:15pm reservation and as the site only opens at 5:00, it was relatively empty when we were seated. The plus side to that was our server was able to provide us an above average level of attention and was able to chat for a bit every now and then. This was important as we had menu questions given a dietary restriction (no cow milk items). The menu that night was very limited due to the support staff strike at the ACC (it just ended that pm), but all of the selections looked good. We started with salads, for mains my wife had the Salmon and I had the Tenderloin Roast Medallions (both were very good) and for desert chocolate cake (limited dairy). Food was very good. Will go back soon."

I have been enjoying the Hot Stove
for years and this was the first time i was upset with my experiance. With the work shortage on dec 14 2013 vs chicago the wait for food was horrible. With all the top chefs in the kitchen the food too for ever to come out, even our server agreed and mentiont how the executive chefs could not handle the moderate business with out there support staff whom were on strike."

Dined on 12/8/2013
Chose it for convenience before a
Raptors game. Decor is pleasant but on our Tuesday night it was mostly empty. The appetizers were VERY good - large shrimp cocktail and grilled calamari. We ordered the Tomahawk ribeye for 2 and asked for it to be cooked medium rare. It was way over done to the point of being well done. The garlic spinach side was delicious, the french fries probably the worst I have ever had - soggy and limp. Nice carrot cake to finish. Would probably give it another try because service was courteous making up for much of the kitchen's inconsistency."
Dined on 11/26/2013
We are lucky that we are able to
come and enjoy the Hot Stove. Its great. The service was top notch and usually the food as well. This weekend our steaks weren't great, and the cauliflower was off. Really these were both non issues, we will come back again, but we were disappointed that we didn't get a manager visit to talk about the food quality. We love the Hot Stove and all it means at the game, but we think we should have been visited by a manager when we talked about our meal with our server."
Dined on 11/23/2013
My wife and I were attending a
game, I'd been to the hot stove before and it was a great experience. This time, it took our waiter at least 5 minutes once seated to greet us as well as take our drink order....another 5 minutes before we received. There were several patrons arriving while we were waiting. Most if not all seated after us were digging into appetizers before our order was taken. I wanted to leave at this point however my wife insisted that we stay and eat as we weren't going to be able to get in anywhere else on such short notice. This is a high end restaurant with great food however it's not worth the money unless you are a regular, recognized by management, as those who did, received much better service."
Dined on 11/21/2013
As a first timer to the Hot Stove

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., the 2011 winner of NBC TV's America's Got Talent, is rolling out the next big phase of his career by giving people exactly what they've asked for. "Everywhere I've gone, all over the world, people kept telling me they wanted me to do a Christmas album, and they want to hear my life story about how I went from washing cars to winning AGT; so I'm giving them both!" said Murphy from the new and modern but modest home he shares with his wife Jennifer and their family in southern West Virginia.
Keeping West Virginians and their support close to his heart, Landau will kick off his holiday tour on Friday November 1 with a special performance at Stonewall Resort, just off I-79 near Clarksburg. Tickets are available by calling 304-391-5000 or online here(https://wvga.wufoo.com/forms/centennial-concert/). The performance helps celebrate the 100th anniversary of the West Virginia Golf Association.
When not swinging his golf club, WVGA Executive Director Ken Tackett is swinging his drumsticks with Landau's band as his drummer and is excited about the show. "Stonewall is a beautiful resort, and they've been gracious to offer a special low room rate for folks who want to stay for the evening after the show," says Tackett. Reservations are available by calling Stonewall Resort at (304) 269-7400 or by visiting them online(http://www.stonewallresort.com/wv_deals/LEMJRRoomRate).
Landau and the band are expected to preview a few songs from his Christmas Made For Two CD during the Friday night concert, as well as sprinkle in some Motown and R&B along with his signature blend of Great American Songbook classics from The Rat Pack. The following day, Saturday November 2, Landau will be signing copies of the CD and book and meeting with fans at a free event from 11 a.m. -1 p.m. at Stonewall Resort, for those who can't attend the Friday night show.
A portion of sales from Landau's Christmas Made For Two CD will benefit The Children's Home Society of West Virginia, which Landau supported for many years before his rise to national prominence on America's Got Talent. The CD features many musicians from the Mountain State and was recorded in Huntington, WV. It will be available statewide at Little General Stores and many other retail outlets, as well as online through Amazon and at www.landaumurphyjr.com.
Landau's book, "Landau – From Washing Cars to Hollywood Stars," is slated for a November release as well, and chronicles Landau's life from being a troubled teen to a homeless young adult in Detroit, a car washer in West Virginia and finally his meteoric rise to the top onAmerica's Got Talent. It contains many stories being revealed for the first time, backstage tour diaries and several pages of behind-the-scenes photos that have never before been published.
Landau's Christmas tour will also include stops in Los Angeles where he's already at work on his next CD; Shanghai, China with fellow America's Got Talent winner Michael Grimm, and in Kentucky and West Virginia, where Landau's says he's always happiest when close to home. Landau adds, "I love to get back to these mountains, and can't wait to see all my West Virginia people this Christmas!"

Tell Eddie to shut up! I support alternate jumpers for the AFL.
The history of one club is no more or less important than that of any other club in the AFL. Eddie McGuire is full of self-importance with his stance stating that his club should not be required to have an alternate guernsey in the AFL. This is a perfectly straightforward request from the league and will not alter the history of any club whatsoever. Shut up Eddie!

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Which master course would you choose between:
1. Master track Urbanism at TU Delft (2 years full-time)
2. Urban Design MA at Oxford Brookes University (1 year full-time)
I think TU Delft has a better programme and probably it's a much more interesting place to study as well; it's cheaper too but it's a 2years course which makes Oxford Brookes a 1year course easier to commit to.
Another thought that daunts me, aside from not knowing which Master I should go for. Is it worth taking a career break working as an architect and make a considerable financial effort to do a Master? Will it pay off in the end? I have a passion for urban design and would like to dedicate some time to study this field in more depth, but I could do this from home in my own time. I won't have the Master degree in the end but wouldn't I just be in the same position in terms of job prospects?
I'm just curious to know what your thoughts on this are, and what your own reasons for doing a Master would be. I would truly appreciate any comments on this.

Jim's is a first-class operation. There is an element of style in this eatery which so many other restaurants try to emulate and typically fail.
The owner, JD Comfort, is almost always present. As he said in part of his interview I did not broadcast, "there is no absentee management in this business."
As I've discovered and witnessed time and time again in this series;
in any good locally owned place, nobody cares about it like the owner.
Comfort cares. You can taste it in the burger.
Even if you need to save a few bucks or skip a drive through once or twice to save your money for a 15 dollar lunch, put a hamburger at Jim's on your bucket-list.

When you hear the word "garden," chances are you think of green plants and brightly colored flowers blooming under a bright sun. But did you know that there's such a thing as a night garden, too—a garden is designed to thrill the senses when the sun has gone down, the air is cool and the bustle of the day has diminished?
Although our ability to see is limited during the night, plants with pale white or yellow blooms and silver foliage can reflect the moonlight in a way that dramatically transforms the landscape. Darkness serves to heighten our other senses in the moonlit garden: nocturnal blooms beckon with their heady fragrances and leaves rustle in the air, lending more enjoyment to the mysteries of night.
Create your own moonlit garden at home with the following plants:
Nicotiana sylvestris (flowering tobacco)
- A vivacious annual, this plant will grow up to 5' tall in a season!
- Long, pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers open in the evening and release a sweet fragrance
- Useful in the back of border or near the home where one can enjoy its fragrant blooms
Nassella tenuissima (white tussock)
- A delicate, fine-textured ornamental grass
- Silky, threadlike leaves and flower tufts shimmer silver in the moonlight
Salvia argentea (silver sage)
- A striking perennial with large, silver basal leaves that looks spectacular in the moonlight
- Use this plant for dramatic foliage and bold texture
Arundo donax 'Variegata' (striped giant reed)
- Variegation picks up moonlight
- Can create dramatic bold shadows in the evening
Angelonia angustifolia 'Cart White' (Carita™)
- Easy bedding or container plant that will bloom all season
Sansevieria trifasciata 'Silver Queen' (snake-plant)
- Strong linear and vertical lines
- Common indoor plant that can also be kept outside
Centaurea cineraria 'Colchester White' (dusty miller)
- Plant has silver, fine-textured foliage
Thunbergia alata 'White-Eyed Susie' (black-eyed-Susan vine)
- Climber that blooms all season, both day and night
- Blooms are cheerful, 1.5" diameter with a bold black eye
Athyrium 'Ghost' (painted fern)
- An option for shade or part-shade gardens
- Beautiful frond day and night
Cleome hassleriana 'White Queen'
- Classic plant or cottage garden annual
- Unique spider blooms are striking in day against green leaves and at night
For more design inspiration, visit us at Longwood Gardens, where all of these plants on on display, plus more night-blooming beauties. And while you're here, don't miss our new exhibition, Light: Installations by Bruce Munro, a whole new way to experience the Gardens at night.

Years ago, when Playboy was just a wee lad mag, the only hotties to grace the cover were mega-busty regular chicks. But something happened in the 80s — celeb culture started to rise to prominence, and bonafide stars like Kim Basinger and Suzanne Somers started posing for the 'zine. Ever since then, landing a Playboy cover has almost been a right of passage for Hollywood A-listers. From Sharon Stone to Latoya Jackson (that's right), we look back at the steamiest celeb-fronted issues of the past twenty-five years.
15 Supermodels Who Strutted Their Stuff In TV Roles
We're used to seeing the world's biggest models grace runways and magazine covers. But who knew so many of them also had walk-on roles on some TV's most memorable shows?
Naomi! Kate! Cindy! The Sultriest Supermodels To Ever Sex-Up Music Videos
Okay, so we're reading VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's First Wave, and feeling nostalgic for our fave music videos. And generally, they're ones starring sexed-up, luscious-limbed, pouty-lipped models (no, not Supahead-esque vixens. We're talking supermodels). Whether it's because the artist was dating the model, or simply because she captures the taste of the time, catwalk queens and videos do go hand-in-hand, no? From Wicked Game to Freedom, we rank the top ten sexiest videos starring fierce fashion goddesses!
George Clooney, Stacy Keibler, Rande Gerber, Cindy Crawford All End Up In Bed Together For New Tequila Campaign
Do all famous people know each other? Do they only start business ventures with other famous people? Because this pairing — George Clooney and Cindy Crawford's mogul, extremely handsome husband Rande Gerber — seems perfect. The two gentlemen have been buddies and business partners forever and have just recently launched a tequila called 'Casamigos.' The campaign for the new spirit is jaw-dropping and involves possibly every fantasy anyone could have. It features George with his mega-hot girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, and Cindy with Randy and it gets … heavy. Which is the polite term for "everyone drinks tequila and ends up in bed with each other." We see Rande walking in with George and Cindy in bed with other, with Cindy looking like this is a Coyote Ugly kind of situation. It's not, Cindy. Then, George walks in on Stacy and Cindy and looks like a kid who just got his candy stolen. Lastly, Cindy and Stacy walk in on Rande and George. Relax, the video is SFW and quite hilarious. Who knew that Stacy had such perfect timing? And while the advertisement, tongue firmly in cheek, urges you to "Please Drink Responsibly" we're just going to say that we don't want to, if it'll give us a shot with Clooney.
Beyonce, Katy Perry And Darren Criss Head Up Our List Of The 30 Sexiest Celebrity Santas

Yes, it's Christmas yet again, the time of the year where we prepare for a large bearded man to break into our homes as we sleep. Wouldn't it be so much cooler if, for example, Katy Perry were to come down our chimney instead? Or Beyonce?! When famous folks dress up as Santa Claus, it provides a really interesting/weird alternate reality holiday. Or the beginning of a festive porno, depending on how you look at it. Head on down to the gallery below to see 30 Santa's whose laps you definitely wouldn't mind sitting on! From Victoria's Secret Angels like Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Barbara Palvin, to divas like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. So step right up and check out the gallery of the ho-ho-hottest Santas around! It's not only sexy, it's tradition!

Heidi Klum Proves She Didn't Have An "Awkward Phase" By Tweeting A Gorgeous Teenage Modeling Pic
Most of us have that painful period during our teen years that we spend the rest of our life trying to forget. It's forever known as "the awkward phase", and photos from the era are purged from family albums in a manner that would do Stalin proud. Well, it seems that Heidi Klum never had that awkward phase. This would explain why she's a world famous supermodel and we are not.
The former Victoria's Secret Angel tweeted a photo over the weekend showing herself as a fresh faced (and GORGEOUS) 19-year old on one of her early modeling dates. "Wow! Check out this picture from 1992," she wrote. "One of my very first photo shoots. This is my original hair color!" Though still a teen, Klum still stares down the lens like a pro. Must be the genes. Contrary to what Maybelline wants you to think, she's definitely born with it. And so are many other super models! Check out the gallery below for some early pix of Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kate Upton, and tons more lovely ladies who have literally never taken a bad photo in their entire lives. Bask in their photogenic-ness!

Lindsay Lohan's Bangs, Solo Heidi Klum Kick Off Fashion Week With amFAR Gala
It was difficult for us to tear our eyes away from the wonder that is Lindsay Lohan's new set of bangs and bizarre hairy wrists at last night's amFAR Gala. But it was an event to kick off New York Fashion Week, so there was plenty more to see. Heidi Klum attending solo for instance, in a dazzling gold-and-black dress. Miss Universe Leila Lopes shining in red. Kellan Lutz looking like he's modeling in a prom tuxedo catalog. Jennifer Hudson and Cindy Crawford palling around and both showing off some impressive cleavage. Terry Richardson appearing to keep his hands to himself. VH1 News was on the red carpet, so check out the vid below to get their A-listers inside scoop on Fashion Week!

Cindy Crawford, George Clooney Tuxedo-Boat Around Venice
Rich people be boating'! Do you want to know the moral of these George Clooney and Cindy Crawford photos, as far as we can tell? If George Clooney wants to commandeer your water taxi on the way to the Venice Film Festival, you let him commandeer your water taxi on the way to the Venice Film Festival. Arriving at the premiere of his upcoming film The Ides of March, Clooney was joined by Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber while he jokingly took over the wheel. Nothing like a group of fabulously beautiful people, wearing formal wear, driving a boat at sunset through Venice to almost make us want to change out of our sauce-stained sweatpants. Almost.

Celebrity Baby Bump Flaunters: From The Prudish To The Shameless
When we saw pregnant Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak posing for the cover of In Touch Weekly wearing what looked to be a hand-me down bra and a weird pair of sheer panties last week, we immediate thought to ourselves, "That woman has no shame!" After the shock wore off, we began thinking: A) What other celebrities have flaunted their baby bumps on the cover of national magazines and B) Was their pursuit of fame more naked than their actual bodies?
Well, as we discovered during an intense round of research, there are two types of celebrities who use their unborn children to score themselves more publicity: the Prudes and the Shameless. Not every pregnant celebrity wants to pull a Demi Moore, you see. Some, like Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Celine Dion, don't want to offend their base by showing too much skin. Others, like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, clearly see Moore's famous Vanity Fair cover as a necessary (and fun!) step in advancing one's career and deem it necessary to push cultural boundaries. So, what do your favorite celebrities score on either the Prude Meter™ or Shameless Meter™? There's only way to find out!

OTTAWA — Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose gave her former chief of staff a $10,000 contract for barely two weeks worth of work following last summer's cabinet shuffle, according to government documents.
Several other Conservative cabinet ministers paid tens of thousands of dollars on other items such as newspaper deliveries, speechwriting contracts and coffee services for their offices, according to federal documents, recently tabled in the House of Commons, highlighting contracts in cabinet ministers' offices between May 2011 and March 2014.
Here's a look at some of the contracts worth more than $500 that have been paid by federal ministers' offices over the past three years:
Rona Ambrose:
Ambrose gave Patrick Donnelly, her former chief of staff while she was minister of public works and government services, a $10,000 contract for slightly more than two weeks of work following a federal cabinet shuffle on July 15, 2013. She was appointed health minister.
Donnelly was paid the $10,000 for a contract as "acting chief of staff" between July 22 and Aug. 7, helping Ambrose transition to the health portfolio and set up her office, including hiring a new permanent chief of staff.
"Mr. Donnelly was Minister Ambrose's former chief of staff and is a lawyer based in Calgary. During his time as acting chief of staff, Mr. Donnelly covered his own travel expenses to and from Calgary, as well as his own accommodations and expenses while in Ottawa. He did not receive any additional benefits as part of his contract work," Ambrose's office said in an emailed statement.

The office of then-natural resources minister Joe Oliver paid Fasken Martineau Dumoulin $8,150 for speechwriting services between March 31 and May 19, 2013, a task that is often considered part of the duties for staff in ministers' offices and federal departments. Oliver's office was one of a handful to contract out speechwriting services.
