- Great Bar-BQSharkeyDined on 8/26/2014Outstanding food, great service. We come here every time we're in NYC for the US Open and we will continue to do so! You will need to make reservations as this place is so good that lot's of people want to be here!Special Features:
- love the foodmeatloverDined on 8/26/2014will definitely come back! I recommend the baby back ribs, pulled pork shoulder, chicken wings and the veggie salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the calories!onthesideVIPDined on 8/26/2014Went with the family. Absolutely delicious. Couldn't decide between the baby back ribs or the brisket so we got both and split them. So tender and although sauce is on the table, it was not needed. Perfectly moist as is. We added on sides of mac & cheese and hush puppies. Like I said, not a low calorie meal but worth the splurge. My one minor complaint is that if you want bread, you have to pay for it. Nothing complimentary so we ordered corn bread - $4 for two small pieces. (Management - Little things like a nice bread basket to start go a long way.) But otherwise, loved the food and the ambience. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for FoodiesbeerandwinefoodieDined on 8/25/2014The Salt and Pepper ribs are meaty and the macaroni and cheese is the cheesiest. If I was a big eater I would go down the menu to try everything. To add to the list the Chipotle wings are another must have. Great place to go and have good barbecue and to top it all off with fresh baked cookies.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small portions. High PricesNotg8VIPDined on 8/22/2014We have eaten here several times. The portions were big, took food home. Now the prices have jumped and the portions have disappeared. Service was slow.Special Features:
- Great time at Blue Smoke!wildriceDined on 8/21/2014We had dinner upstairs and the food and service were superb! Ribs were excellent (house standard), one of us had a vegetarian dish (risotto based with divine veggies..), and their mac an cheese was truly to die for! Wow! Pork chop was thick and delicious and the strip steak was consumed in nearly a heartbeat! Afterward, we went downstairs for the jazz and the whole evening was so fun...for us Minnesotans...to have great food and a great night in a true jazz nightclub! thanks so much!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Who minds noise?!SpongetoffeeDined on 8/20/2014I have been going to Blue Smoke for about ten years now whenever I come to New York. However, I don't know if it is my age but I can't take the noise anymore. Love the frybread, but if you can't hear your friends talking what is the point?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blue smoke a DisappointmentBarbaraVIPDined on 8/19/2014Having loved Blue smoke when it first opened, we were so disappointed this past week night when dining there. Good service is nice, but we were seated at 6:30 and had the bill in hand at 7:10. No one asked if we wanted a second drink or anything. The food came out of the kitchen as soon as the waiter brought the order into it. My ribs were not hot and the meat certainly did not fall off the bone as any good barbecue should. This place must be living off its reputation.Special Features:
- Great food, great serviceAndyDined on 8/16/2014We came for lunch late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and noise. Just as we expected. Quiet but good ambience, very kind server, food came fast and as usual, delicious.Special Features:
- Food Okay...Service ExcellentShak1Dined on 8/15/2014The food was lack luster on flavor in my opinion only....But Our waitress and waiter were phenomenal very attentive and efficient ...And drinks were delicious.Special Features:
- Lenore S.gratifood84Dined on 8/15/2014I've dined at Blue Smoke n the past and always enjoyed the food. The ambiance is a bit noisy for me - but by arriving earlier for dinner, it eased it a bit. I found the Restaurant week menu O.K. - but did not think it worth the $38. Also I found the food on the regular menu superior. I had an adequate Ceaser salad - a fair amount of baby back ribs - good but as if they were prepared well in advance. A small amount of cole slaw and a few slices of pickle. A rather small thin slice of Key Lime Pie. I'l never do Restaurant Week there again - A la Carte would have cost me less for just a salad and an order of baby backs!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- munchieDined on 8/15/2014Thought the ribs were overdone and definitely not "fall off the bone" disappointed.Special Features:
- itpelawVIPDined on 8/15/2014The food was terrific, with generous portions for the Restaurant Week menu. (One quibble: Just wish they would have allowed substitutions on side dishes on the Restaurant Week entrees, although I can understand why they didn't.) We'll definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- blue smoke experiencecolombia76Dined on 8/15/2014My husband and I visited Blue Smoke the other day for the start of his 40th birthday celebration! The rib platter and north Carolina pulled pork sandwich were awesome!! The service was great as well. We definitely would go back:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service & FoodGreatDined on 8/14/2014I surprised my wife for her birthday here because she loves the deviled eggs and food. The food was great and they made a delicious chocolate birthday cake with cheese cream icing. I would definitely recommend the food and cake to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great serviceNYCTechnochicDined on 8/14/2014The wait staff was very attentive and accommodate us although we were an hour ahead of our reservation. My guest had ribs which he enjoyed and I had hush puppies, veggie burger and mac and cheese..very tasty. It was very empty when we arrived but we were seated right next to the kitchen, which wasn't ideal, but the wait staff took good care of us and didn't make us feel rushed although the restaurant filled up quickly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderwhelmedGrandhipoobahDined on 8/13/2014I wasn't so disappointed with the portion sizes being so small as the food was just ok. Not sure why they supplied such an impressive steak knife. They cut up the brisket before it even got to the table. Next time please let me know if the Resturant Week Special is really the kiddy menu. Don't know why I said next time.
- Loved around the WorldAlwaysGREATDined on 8/13/2014WONDERFUL as always! Staff was especially great this time. Brought friends from Shanghai, China - two children (ages 12 & 15) with their parents. Even tho they are unfamiliar with western food everyone found something to eat, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. From appetizers to desert - not a bit was left. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Place to go with nut allergies!FoodallergymomDined on 8/13/2014My son has life threatening food allergies to nuts. We always go to Blue Smoke when we are in NYC because it's the only restaurant he feels confident and comfortable eating at. Plus it's BBQ, which is his favorite. The staff are super friendly and very good about his food allergies. The menu is easy to figure out as far as what is nut free. The food and ambience are excellent and it's very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!Special Features:
- What a great experience!!!!JaymoDined on 8/13/2014Blue Smoke is an awesome spot to go to if you're in the mood for some good American BBQ in NYC!!! The restaurant itself is nice, spacious and moderately quiet (it was 5:30 PM). Service was friendly and well timed. Hands down their best app has to be their Chipotle Chicken Wangs!!! Lol. Will visit again soon....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RibKatoDined on 8/12/2014I have been to this restaurant for a couple of times. Every time I am impressed with tasty foods they offer. Those dishes come quickly. I love their Kansas City barbeque ribs so as their Texas salt and pepper ribs.Special Features:
- Amazing BBQ n the cityrmf223Dined on 8/12/2014I tried Blue Smoke for the first time this past week. The food and service were excellent: decadent mac and cheese, and tasty ribs. We couldn't choose between dessert options, so our fabulous waitress had us try the new cheesecake with the cherry compote on the house in addition to the amazing banana cream pie we ordered. Thank you!Special Features:
- Ideal for group partiesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/12/2014Service was excellent;waitstaff very attentive.I felt special. The best part:the give-away bag of granola for Restaurant Week patrons.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/11/2014Solid though somewhat unexciting barbecue. Prices definitely reasonable. Fried chicken surprisingly good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Restaurant Week Dinner!LaurenB13Dined on 8/10/2014We came for restaurant week and were very pleased. The portions were big (usually for restaurant week I find they skimp a bit on portion size!) and the waiters were all friendly, as opposed to many begrudging waiters who I know hate restaurant week. Everything we had was delicious. We did have a bit of a wait between our appetizer and main course but we were content with our beers and to people watch. At the end we were presented with a bag of house-made granola as appreciation for dining there during Restaurant Week. An excellent touch, which I know Danny Meyer is known for. We had it for breakfast the next morning with yogurt and it was delicious! We would definitely recommend to a friend and will return again. Thanks for a great meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week dinnerMommaFDined on 8/10/2014Blue Smoke has an upbeat vibe and a big bar. The food was fine but you could get the same anywhere. I found our waiter intrusive even though he kept apologizing for interrupting us. It was noisy and I had trouble hearing my friends. With all the places in New York I would see no reason to return .Special Features:
- Great BBQST1068Dined on 8/10/2014Very good food - I am now obsessed with their macaroni and cheese the meats (we all had something different so we could all try each other's food) were so tender and juicy and their BBQ sauce was so good! After our meal the waiter brought us each little take home bags of granola, we were all too full to try it but the next day when we did we were blown away by the smoky granola and the sweet dried fruits and the coconut pieces in there was the icing on the cake. Great place will definitely be coming back!Special Features:
- special lunchbbqfanaticDined on 8/10/2014The service was excellent. About 5 people participated in serving us thru out the meal. Each one was very friendly.The timing was perfect.The portions were generous. The ribs fell off the bone. The brisket was a little dry. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw(chopped and plain). The chicken wings were plumper than I like where the skin is fatty but the sauce was good. I'm still craving the banana cream pie. We were given little bags of delicous granola. It was a great added touch. I would definately go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Barb b queKapsVIPDined on 8/9/2014Good food. Good barb. Good service. Would returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great findSheyDined on 8/9/2014This was a wonderful food experience for our family. Great service, authentic bbq with amazing pulled pork, decadent mac and cheese for my son who loves it, and an atmosphere that is vibrant. This was the perfect place to go to dinner after a great day in New York.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NYC Restaurant Week Great Find!87thbirthdayDined on 8/9/2014We were looking for a Restaurant Week menu that would please a family and got it in spades. Despite the fact that we messed up the reservation, we were welcomed and sat. The restaurant is very welcoming. We loved the openness of the room and the natural light. I wish I could have taken home some of the tin stars. The service was FANTASTIC. Our server was friendly and helped us choose our entrees. We all loved the food - the sausage appetizer was awesome and the ribs and brisket - TDO. Wonderful sauces added to the yum factor. The meal was topped off with tasty desserts. We shall return!Special Features:
- Restaurant weekhungrynurseDined on 8/7/2014Came here for restaurant week. There was four of us so we ordered everything on the restaurant week menu. Ribs didn't disappoint. But the trout did. Extremely fishy, and not fresh.BBeen here before, first time was better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Resturant Week 2014QnsFoodieDined on 8/7/2014Had the chipotle chicken wings wing were amazing. Then had the brisket half and half (half marbled & half lean) preferred the marble of course. Could have done without the banana creme pie it was missing a sweetness. Waiter was excellent, oh got this amazing granola as a resturant week thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for my birthday!FoodmanDined on 8/5/2014Perfect to celebrate a special occasion with friends and family. Terrific selection of barbecued ribs, sausage, chicken and brisket and your choice of beers. I'd go back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Finger Lickin GoodFrenchFoodieVIPDined on 8/5/2014Great for kids!! Took friends from France with teenagers. Perfect place to sample American fare. Best were the hot potato chips, chicken wings, corn bread, macaroni and cheese, rib sampler, and key lime pie. All of these were truly excellent. As was the beer on tap. And the terrific idea to invite children to decorate their own personal cookie dough with sprinkles that they are presented as take home treats at the end of the meal. Less successful was brisket (tasteless), fried chicken, and hush puppies. I'd definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PERFECT!Princesskimmy66Dined on 8/4/2014From start to finish it was a hit!! The wait staff was on point and VERY friendly. The food was great!! Potato chips with blue cheese dip was tasty, the rib sampler was a hit and the bbq beans was lovely. Oh, the fried bread was heavenly!!! All in all, a great time was had by all and we will definitely go back for my b'day!Special Features:
- Treated Like KingsHappyCamperDined on 8/4/2014Blue Smoke has the right attitude: the customer is king. The wait staff is cheery, but natural, and the management keeps a close eye on all tables to make sure things are moving along smoothly at each table. The brisket (available in three varieties) is superb, the ribs a bit overcooked & dry, the wings excellent. The Caesar salad was on the scrawny side, the deviled eggs were great and the desserts were delish. No hint of snootiness here: they want to make you a patron for life. And isn't that the way it should be?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotBrooklynDined on 8/3/2014Celebrated my husband's birthday. Staff was terrific- sat us in section I requested & had his dessert decorated with candle (I had noted the occasion and section I wanted on my open table reservation). They were great with my 6 yr old daughter- as soon as she sat down they brought out a cookie for her to decorate which they whisked away, baked and brought out at end of meal in a bag for her to take. Of course she gobbled it up in 5 seconds :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The BestSRO22VIPDined on 8/3/2014I have never had a bad meal here and absolutely love it!Special Features:
- blondemamaVIPDined on 8/3/2014First time at this restaurant. Picked it because it is in close proximity to where my daughter lives and I had never been there before. I thought everything about this place was mediocre and wouldn't plan on going back anytime soon.Special Features:

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Arizona State University is proposing a tuition increase of 3% for all students on all campuses for the 2013-2014 academic year.
ASU submitted its proposal Friday to the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's three public universities.
Tuition hearings are scheduled for March 27 and the regents will vote on the recommendations during the April 4-5 meeting in Tucson.
ASU officials say the proposed hike is the lowest in the past decade.
The specific dollar amounts of the proposed increase depend on students' current base tuition determined by their major, the year they entered ASU and the campus at which they study.
ASU's student body has grown from around 50,000 in 2002 to more than 73,000 students this year.

Talbots is Cool
March 29, 2010 at 11:12 am , by Sue Erneta
I love Michael Smaldone. Who's he, you ask? Well, just the genius Creative Director who has transformed Talbots into a really cool brand. Have you noticed how good Talbots is looking lately? Michelle Obama has. And when the best dressed woman in America is wearing it, so should you.
It's kind of crazy when my mom's favorite brand is suddenly appealing to me—and I'm not even 40 yet! (Okay, I know I'm getting close but I still shop at American Eagle so clearly I'm fighting that "40-something-look" every way I can!) Their clothes are cut a little closer to the body now, and their jewelry is looking downright modern. And the bags? Don't get me started on the bags. At their recent fall presentation, I was drooling over all the gorgeous (and well-priced) styles. You'll have to wait for fall to get the get the one pictured here but you can find other great handbag styles on their website right now. I particularly love this little camel clutch so much that we featured it in our March fashion feature. I'm also dying over this python-embossed leather clutch. And bonus: Most bags cost well under $300, with many under $200.
If that wasn't enough to get you running to your nearest Talbots, how about this: They're not just promoting looking good, but they're doing good too. Talbots is giving $200 gift cards to 600 female veterans as part of Maria's Shriver's WE Support program that helps veterans transitioning back to civilian life. In addition, 2,100 military spouses will receive Talbots 30% off discount cards. Now, that's something that makes shopping feel even better.

A Sumner County prisoner who escaped this week is back in custody.
Stevie Robertson, 35, was granted permission to take his father-in-law to a doctor's appointment in Bowling Green, KY. However, when the two stopped for lunch, he ran away.
Authorities finally caught him at a hotel in Horse Cave, KY, late Thursday night.
A maintenance worker tipped off police after recognizing Robertson from a television news report.
Robertson was serving time in the Sumner County Jail for vandalism charges and was convicted in 2009 for sexual exploitation of a minor.

From a Second Story Window Biography
From A Second Story Window RIP, 2002-2008. From a Second Story Window were a progressive metalcore band formed in 2002, from the Ohio/Pennsylvania border area in the United States of America. They were characterized by the use of complex rhythms, strange keys, and dual types of vocals (both high black metal screams and low death metal growls). Their live show was intense, and usually was noted by brilliant white lights and a near possessed stage presence, fronted by Will Jackson. The band has been quoted as saying "Simply put, we are trying to create music for attention-deficit people", and this is evident by the frantic changes and lack of repitition in their songs. Their Latest album utilised all of these qualities but also intergrated some melodic guitar and singing further adding to the complexity of their sound. They were signed to Blackmarket Activities, an imprint of Metal Blade Records. On the web at: http://myspace.com/fromasecondstorywindow

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians All-Star closer Chris Perez could be sidelined one month because of a strained shoulder.
Perez, who saved 39 games last season, will not throw for the next week to 10 days. Once he resumes his program, the Indians estimate he will be pitching in games in three or four weeks.
Indians manager Terry Francona said he wasn't sure whether Perez would be OK for opening day.
"I don't know. One thing, we're going to do is take care of it so it's gone and he can pitch effectively. That's kind of an artificial deadline because when he's good to go, that's when he'll pitch," Francona said.
"He's down for 10 days and then start his throwing program. We'll see where he's at at the end of spring training. If he is good to go, it obviously effects us nothing," he said. "If he's not we'll probably back up Vinnie (Pestano to the closer's role) and back everybody up a little bit. For right now it doesn't change anything in spring training."
The injury will prevent Perez from playing for the United States in the World Baseball Classic.
It is the second straight spring training Perez has been injured. He strained a muscle in his left side during his first bullpen session on Feb. 23 last year but recovered in time for opening day, when he allowed three runs in the ninth against Toronto in a game the Blue Jays won in 16 innings.
"I'm not saying nothing," Perez told reporters Friday as he drove out of Cleveland's spring training complex.
He later tweeted: "Small hurdle at an in-opportune time. I feel better now than I did last year with the oblique. Still plenty of time."
The right-hander, an All-Star in 2011 and '12, has 98 saves during the past three seasons. Perez was involved in trade rumors during the offseason, but said he's excited about playing for a new manager in Francona.
Cleveland also said right-hander Frank Hermann sprained a ligament in his pitching elbow on Monday against Oakland and outfielder Michael Brantley could return to limited baseball activities next week. Brantley needed 15 stitches to close a cut on his left forearm after he was accidentally spiked Monday by Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson.
White Sox slip past Tribe
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Even though he was effective, Chris Sale wasn't comfortable.
In his first spring training appearance of the year, the 17-game winner struck out three over 21⁄3 scoreless innings Friday as the Chicago White Sox lost to the Cleveland Indians 9-7.
Sale gave up a one-out single to Lou Marson and a walk to Mark Reynolds before getting Carlos Santana to hit into a forceout and retiring Mike Aviles on a flyout to deep center.
Catcher Hector Gimenez went to the mound for a chat.
"The first inning was kind of sporadic," Sale said. "I felt like I was going a million miles an hour. Hector came out and said slow it down. He kind of got me back to where I was. Thanks to him, we pulled it out. I was kind of jittery in the first."
Sale wound up allowing two hits -- both singles -- struck out one and walked none.
"I'm very satisfied how it went," he said. "Obviously, there is room for improvement on anything you do. This is a good building point, Day 1 out on the mound. Build from this and learn from it."
Chicago took a 4-0 lead against Justin Masterson, Cleveland's opening-day starter, who gave up six hits in 22⁄3 innings. Dayan Viciedo homered leading off the second and, two batters later, Brent Morel hit a two-run drive.
Gimenez added an RBI single in the third. A 3-for-3 day increased his exhibition average to .714 (5 for 7).
"The sinker is the one they hit," Masterson said. "They were all elevated sinkers. I threw some good ones. When I got on top, you could see them, they were diving nicely. "When they were good, you could see the guys swing over the top. It's nice to see those mixed in, the good ones. We're close. We've still got a month."
Left-hander Scott Kazmir, who pitched in the independent Atlantic League last year, struck out three and allowed one hit while pitching shutout ball in the fourth and fifth innings. The two-time All-Star, with the Indians on a minor league contract, has not pitched in the major leagues since April 2011.
"He's interesting," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "There's not a lot of effort, and the ball is coming out really nice. That's a good combination."
Cleveland rallied on a pair of three-run homers. Matt Carson connected off Erik Johnson in the fourth for his third home run of the exhibition season, and Mike McDade went deep against loser Leyson Septimo in the sixth.
"Matt has 60 at-bats last year with Minnesota and he's a strong kid," Francona said. "He can play all three outfield positions, probably on the corners more than center."
David Huff won despite giving up Marcus Semien's three-run homer in the sixth.

Via tweet from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson, we learn today that Rangers catcher Mike Napoli is headed to the disabled list with a strained oblique.
Napoli has caught 22 games for the Rangers this season, played 19 others at first base and served as DH for five others. He's hitting .221/.344/.493 with 10 HR and 25 RBI in 163 plate appearances for Texas.
Yorvit Torrealba, who has been Texas' principal starting catcher, with 45 games started, will be behind the plate for today's Rangers game at Minnesota. Taylor Teagarden, one of the Rangers' best prospects, will be recalled to take Napoli's spot on the roster and back up Torrealba.
Hardball Talk reports that Napoli could miss at least three weeks and possibly as long as a month. Oblique injuries are often tough to come back from, especially for catchers who have to crouch dozens of times a game and make snap throws. But what the Rangers will miss most is Napoli's power bat. His .493 SLG ranked third on the team.

Early Life as a Child Prodigy:
Born December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, Louisiana, Britney Spears' emergence as a teenage star followed achievements as a precociously talented child. Her story reads almost like a fairytale. After performing in local church choirs and dance revues around her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, she was invited to attend performing arts summer school in New York after auditioning for the Mickey Mouse Club at age 8.
Quote From Britney Spears:
"Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn't mean I'm naughty."
Britney Spears Trivia Fact:
Britney sang "What Child Is This?" in her first public performance at the age of 4.
Top Britney Spears Hit Singles:
- 1998 - "...Baby One More Time" - #1
- 1999 - "(You Drive Me) Crazy" - #10
- 2000 - "Oops!...I Did It Again" - #9
- 2004 - "Toxic" - #9
- 2007 - "Gimme More" - #3
- 2008 - "Womanizer" - #1
- 2008 - "Circus" - #3
Britney Spears In New York:
Britney spent the next three years in New York City attending the Professional Performing Arts School Center. The studies paid off when she landed a key part in the off-Broadway production Ruthless in 1991. At the age of 11 Britney Spears was allowed to be a member of the Mickey Mouse Club.
Path To Stardom:
As a cast member of the Mickey Mouse Club for the 1993 and 1994 television series, Britney Spears was part of a particularly talented cast. Her fellow cast members included future *NSYNC members Justin Timberlake and J.C. Chasez. After leaving the Mickey Mouse Club, Britney returned to high school for a year before heading once again to New York to pursue her performing career. There a demo tape was noticed by Jive Records executives.
Britney Spears' First Album:
Britney Spears' first album was recorded with top pop producers including Eric Foster White and Max Martin. The album's first single "...Baby One More Time" was released late in 1998. It rose straight to the top of the charts with a video showcasing Britney as a sexy Catholic schoolgirl. The album by the same name was released January 12, 1999 and debuted at #1. By the time the year was out Britney Spears was named Billboard magazine's female artist of the year.
The Follow-Up:
Fans and the press were eager to see what Britney would do for a followup. The curiosity was answered by Ooops...I Did It Again released in early 2000. The title single shot straight to the top of the charts and Britney Spears proved her initial success was no fluke. The album sold over one million copies in its first week and set a record for a female solo artist. It eventually sold over nine million copies. By the end of 2000 Britney's private life was major news as it was revealed she was dating *NSYNC's Justin Timberlake.
Britney Spears' Commercial Disappointment:
In late 2001 Britney's third album Britney appeared. It was an obvious attempt to present her as a more mature, and more sexually assertive, performer, but commercial performance was disappointing. The album failed to generate any top 10 pop hit singles. Britney Spears made her film debut in 2002 with the commercial disappointment Crossroads and by the end of the year her romance with Justin Timberlake had fallen apart. She retreated from performing and recording for several months before returning to the studio in 2003.
Britney Spears' Return:
In the Zone, the fourth Britney Spears album, was released in November 2003 and was a clear success at presenting Britney as a mature adult artist. The single "Toxic" returned her to the singles top 10 and "Me Against the Music," her collaboration with Madonna, electrified dance clubs. The success of In the Zone peaked with a 2005 Grammy Award for "Toxic" as Best Dance Recording.
Britney returned to the gossip headlines with her marriage to Kevin Federline in September 2004 and, subsequently, with the announcement that she was pregnant in the spring of 2005. As a climax to the Britney and Kevin reality show Chaotic in June 2005, Britney debuted the video for a new single "Someday (I Will Understand)."
After a year filled with hounding by tabloids and paparazzi and embarrassing revelations related to the failure of her marriage to Kevin Federline and care of her 2 children, Britney Spears returned in the fall of 2007 with the new album Blackout. It included the #3 hit single "Gimme More.". In the fall of 2008 Britney Spears' album Circus was preceded by the single "Womanizer." It became her first #1 single since "...Baby One More Time." The title song "Circus" also went to #3 on the pop singles chart. Britney Spears previewed her greatest hits package The Singles Collection, due in November 2009, with a new collaboration with Max Martin, the single "3."

Diner Reviews
They had closed for business
permanently and failed to notify any of their New year's customers with reservations, or even to notify Open Table. Huge disappointment in what had been a reputable restaurant."
Dined on 12/31/2012
A nice surprise in small Angel
Fire. Wonderful entree choices, with spot on service. The new management has made an impressionable change and it shows. A bit of a splurge, but well worth the change from pizza and resort food."
Dined on 10/18/2012
Roasted Clove is probably the best
attraction in Angel Fire, next to the ski resort and newly renovated Country Club. The food is among the best in the Enchanted Circle. We've been going there for years and always look forward to it when we are in town. It's one of our "must do's" when we're in the area."
Dined on 10/13/2012
By far the best restaurant in
Angel Fire if not the entire area."
Dined on 10/13/2012
I have been coming to the Roasted
Clove for many years and enjoy the feeling of warmth and comfort that it imparts. The wine list is wonderful....even by the glass. Something in the blackened porkchop plate was very hot and a bit too much for me. Had I known in advance how hot it was, I would have ordered something else. I asked my waitress to make a reservation for Sat. evening as well, but she never reappeared at my table to do so. There were 4 tables occupied at the time. I dined elsewhere on Sat. eveing, but I will be back."
Dined on 10/5/2012
The setting was lovely. Very
romantic. But I took my 10 year old for her birthday, so it was a little off the mark for that event. I ordered the salmon my daughter had the filet mignon. Her mashed potatoes were really salty. The meat was a little tough. After ordering my entree, I was told the kitchen had run out of the salmon. I chose the goat cheese salad and steak tacos instead. The tacos tasted like something I make at home with Old El Paso taco seasoning...but oil soaked. The salad dressing was waaay to heavy on the balsalmic with very little goat cheese. However, the wine was good and the service was great. Our waiter, David was attentive and kind. But I'm not sure I would return."
Dined on 9/22/2012
The really good news is that the
Roasted Clove is working superbly with owner chef, Tom Bowles, present only weekends. Chef Scott Allen is clearly maintaining Tom's quality and innovation. We were worried what might happen to our experience when Tom wasn't on the premises. We have a second home in Angel Fire and The Roasted Clove is a big part of why Angel Fire is so special to us."
Dined on 9/20/2012
We are "locals" and eat at The
Roasted Clove whenever we can. We have dined at fine restaurants all over the country and this restaurant in little Angel Fire is such a great surprise - as good as (and better than) the ones in the big cities."

Happened to be staying just a
short stroll from the Roasted Clove so we checked it out for dinner one night. All food was excellent and our server was very attentive as well. Should be noted Beer and Wine only.

And if you see/hear something that has the raspberry chipole, GO FOR IT!!"

Always enjoy the food. Service
could have been better. Waitress was much more attentive to local patrons. Our table was much too close to other diners which made it a little uncomfortable for this type of dining."

We have always enjoyed having
dinner at The Roasted Clove. Monday night was not up to the usual outstanding standards. Our sever was slow and as she was pouring our wine, spilled/splashed quite a lot on my husband's shirt. Said she was sorry, but never even offered to smooth over the mistake. There were four of us, 2 bottles of wine, 3 entrees, dessert, etc..... Very disappointed!"

Clearing out the clutter can be hard work, but here's some simple steps to get you started.
According to professional organizer Cathy Dietl, closet organizers for hangers and shoes really do work to maximize space and a closet makeover will save time and give the feeling of having more items.

A fire believed to have started two days ago flared up near an East Texas church.
Fire marshals say about two acres were burned today off FM 14, outside of Tyler, and just north of Holy Ghost Temple.
The Red Springs Volunteer Fire Department brought in a plow to put out remaining hot spots.
No buildings were burned, but the fire did come close to several animal pens.
Officials say the fire may have started as early as Sunday, but flared up because of embers blown from burning debris.

DALLAS — Ambassador Mark Langdale has a big title: President of the George W. Bush Foundation.
But really, he's just the guy next door — literally — to the Bushes.
"I met them in 1988 when they bought the house next door to me," Langdale said. "We have been friends for a long time."
Former President Bush called on him to start work on the library, and so he did back in 2008, during the crunch of the economic crisis.
His task was to raise $300 million.
"I started as employee No. 1," Langdale said. "It was just me and a card table."
Now the ambassador is part of a large team bringing into focus the vision and history of George W. Bush's two-term presidency.
"When you become president and first lady, and you're in everybody's living room for eight years, you become a character, a celebrity — not really a real person," Langdale said. "It's important that we crack that."
Langdale hopes to accomplish that through videos, 35 interactive games, and 43,000 artifacts to walk you through history, while helping you get to know the Bushes in a more personal way — like he does.
"It's the scrapbook, if you will," he said. "[The library exhibits are] what [the Bushes] think were the important things in their service that they want to highlight and share with the American people."
And he said when President Bush walked in for the first time, out of 200 million documents and thousand of artifacts, one set in particular stopped the 43rd president in his tracks.
"I think he is struck by the power of the exhibit that focuses on 9/11," Langdale said.
From that fateful day, to Laura Bush's focus on education, everything displayed inside is hand-picked by the former first family.
"It is their prerogative to have that first cut at history, if you will," Langdale said.

Witney golf club unaffected by construction firm's problems
9:30am Monday 23rd July 2012 in News
An entrepreneur who was one of the leading lights behind a golf club has seen his construction firm go into administration.
Steve Hill Construction, in Aylesbury, made its 97 staff redundant before administrators took over.
Mr Hill helped establish Witney Lakes Resort and Witney Golf Club, in Downs Road.
Club director Della Hill, who is Mr Hill's wife, said the administration had no impact on the operations of the golf club.

AB 1116: Supplier Entertainment of Consumers Events An issue near and dear to many of our clients engaging in consumer tasting events, Assemblymember Hall's AB 1116 extends and slightly opens up B&P Code § 25600.5, which provides a mechanism for suppliers to entertain consumers off their premises and without charge. Previously, these events were restricted to in-state licensees (distilled spirits manufacturers, winegrowers, rectifier, distillers or their authorized agents) and could only be conducted at premises not licensed for retail sale with the supplier purchasing the alcohol for the event from a licensed caterer. Under the new law: – Events may now be conducted by out-of-state distilled spirits shipper's certificate holders.

'Needy suffer while councillors eat free'
10:00am Tuesday 3rd June 2014 in News By Chloe Chapman
ANGRY opposition councillors hit out at County Hall bosses for trying to scrap funding for a vital meals service for the elderly...
while scoffing free lunches.
Essex County Council wants to withdraw its subsidy for daily meals-on-wheels due to dwindling interest.
However, the move has been condemned by opposition parties as those still eating the meals face a daily price hike from £3.95 to £4.79, leaving some elderly people £218 a year worse off.
Critics are also angry the cuts could be made at the same time Freedom of Information figures show County Hall spent £68,549 over the past two years providing free meals for councillors.
Dave Blackwell, Independent county councillor for Canvey Island East, said: "If we had to choose between councillors getting free lunches and elderly people getting subsidised meals, there is no argument. I think it's disgusting.
"What the council would save is peanuts. If we can't help the most vulnerable in our communities then it's a poor state of affairs. I'm ashamed to be associated with anything to do with this decision."
The Tory-run council has ruled out axing the service, but wants to scrap the 84p it pays per meal.
The whole meals-on-wheels service is understood to cost £260,000 a year and the council has to save £200million in the next four years.
All 1,003 users are being consulted about the possible change.
Jamie Huntman, county councillor for Thundersley and leader of the opposition Ukip group, said: "What they're trying to save is such a minimal amount. If they wanted to cut a service which would save millions, we'd understand because we are in austere times. This is just chipping away at the edges, and it's going to affect a lot of vulnerable people.'' He said his party donated money to the chairman's chosen charity to make up for free meals provided in the members' area at County Hall.
Mr Huntman added: "We don't feel comfortable having free lunches, so we donate money to the chairman's charity.
"Shunning it altogether would be cutting off our noses to spite our faces."
Ann Brown, Tory councillor responsible for adult social care, said: "I am aware that, for some residents, meals-on-wheels is a vital service.
"However, as alternative options have appeared in the market, the number of customers has fallen, which means it is difficult to continue to provide the service in its current guise and provide value for money for taxpayers."
The public consultation on the meals-on-wheels service will run until Monday, July 7.

it is about some of these greedy bums on the council payroll start bringing a packed lunch and get with the program.
Additionally councilors should not be drinking at lunch - makes them look like lushes.
