Diner Reviews
The bartenders were nice but very
VERY slow. Food was average and also took a long time to hit the table."
Dined on 8/23/2014
Dining was surprisingly good when
first opened . The past two recent experiences were a nightmare on all fronts . Both times as we we're being seated we were told an identical story : someone decided to no show at the last minute and we are short staffed . Despite being one of two tables dining ( excluding those sitting at the bar ) service was practically nonexistent and bordering on bizarre . Four of six people got water , menus were left on table after ordering , partial orders were taken while some were in ladies room . The bread was stale , fettuccine cold , Marsala tasted like vinegar and "pot pie " was inedible , as it was obvious it had been thawed and refrozen possibly several times . This establishment should not be featured ."

I came in with my family to
celebrate a birthday, which I had put on as a note for the reservation. The staff made no comment about it. It was truly a skeleton crew running the place, one server (very new it seemed) and a bartender who was also helping expo the orders to tables, setting up togo/hotel orders and acting as host. It took an hour and a half for our entire meal to be served. My family and I made do with the situation, but honestly we have decided not to return."
Dined on 8/2/2014
I took a chance by coming here,
because I had already heard a bad review from friends. Upon arrival, it seemed like it would be an amazing experience, but to my surprise, it was the exact opposite. Our server was the worst!! We had been sitting at the table 18 minutes before he even came over to greet us. Then at that point he dropped off glasses of water, and it was another 10 minutes before he came to get our drink/appetizer orders. He wasn't attentive/aware. At the end, we received our ticket and it was wrong. Asked for a mgr and they said there wasn't one on duty. We were charged for a side salad that I didn't order, drinks we didn't order, etc. It was a disaster."
Dined on 7/16/2014
We had a reservation for 7:00 PM,
and had requested a table near the entertainment. However we were seated far from the entertainment. My recommendation is to arrive early if there is a musician you want to see. The food was good, but there was only one server taking care of the entire dining room. Although he did a great job, I think he could have been more attentive if he had not been the only one serving. The food was great, and it was a very romantic setting."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Went to heat the Cruz brothers and
they didn't disappoint but the food did. Nice decor and outdoor area, wish I could recommend."
Dined on 7/2/2014
My husband and I went with another
couple, this was a first for all of us. The place is really nice and had a romantic feel. However the service was horrible and the bad thing is there was only three other tables that night. We had to ask for stuff constantly...and still didn't get it. It took so long for one of my drinks it ended up being free. The drinks were pretty good but we weren't impressed with the food. Needless to say we won't be going back."
Dined on 5/30/2014
Live musician also outstanding.
Would recommend to others."
Dined on 5/30/2014
We had heard many good things
about this restaurant and were surprised when we arrived and there were 3 tables, all of whom were waiting patiently to be tabbed out. (some had waited 20 minutes or more to check out) Evidently, they were short staffed or something but we stayed despite the moans and groans of the current patrons and were so glad we did. The food was outstanding and the ambiance and atmosphere were wonderfully quiet and romantic. I would go here again and would highly recommend to to everyone. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
When we arrived there was no
host/hostess to greet us. We were seated at a cozy little table with no menus. After a few minutes of waiting we were brought our menus. We ordered our drinks from the bar and an appetizer, then our menus were taken. Our waitress left quickly so we did not have time to put in our dinner order. When she arrived with our appetizer she dropped it and left, then came back after we finished to take our order. Mind you it have been 20 minutes since we last looked at the menu. When she arrived with the menu again we placed our order and waited and waited until our entrees arrived, well one entree arrived, we had to wait on the second for awhile. Overall the food was good but the service was seriously lacking."
Dined on 5/9/2014
Chicken Marengo and Chicken
Limoncello were excellent. Pleasant guitar player. We ordered a bottle of wine and the waiter brought it already opened, didn't show selection til we asked to see it. We were originally going to eat at another restaurant on the other side of Memorial Drive. Navigating Memorial drive is difficult if you're unfamiliar with it. This was next to our hotel. Glad we ate here."
Dined on 5/9/2014
Probably won't go back as their
was nothing special and limited menu."
Dined on 3/17/2014
Service was initially slow. Found
out later that there was only one waiter; the young man was working as fast as he could, and he did a great job! Shame on Avanti for putting him in that position though! The food was fantastic for the price, a great value. The seafood risotto portion was tiny, but the salmon was generous. On a downside, the guest guitar player had his amp turned up so loud that we literally could not carry on a conversation. I asked the waiter if he would ask the gentleman to turn it down, and he did. The gentleman did apologize for the volume after his set. So all in all, a mixed review, great food at a great price, but the poor waiter was being asked to do too much. But would I go back? Yes, I would!"
Dined on 3/7/2014
Made these reservations because
the establishment boasted world cuisine, but discovered after arriving it was a fixed menu. We asked to see the dinner plan and our server brought a piece of paper over that outlined three courses with no price attached and we didn't ask. The salad was awful, then a steak, fish and potatoes meal that lacked any unique flavor. Finally, a fancy hostess snack in strawberry yogurt. The food was mediocre at best, so imagine my surprise when our bill arrived for $150! Service was poor and the scheduled entertainment left the scene during the first course. Huge disappointment for what was otherwise a great date valentine's day date. Won't visit this place again. Bait and switch seems to be the game."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Avante is great for Valentine's
Day! The pre-fixed menu is always good (filet & salmon), and they usually have live music - lovely! It is worth every penny which is $60 per meal. Liquor costs extra but is reasonably priced. Had to mark down food from outstanding to very good, because the dessert (chocolate cake) was a little dry. Also, there was no bread served. All other food was outstanding, and the plating was beautiful. Ambience was lovely with black tables and red cloth napkins. Our waiter accommodated us by substituting ice cream for the cake on 1 of our desserts. If you're looking for a special Valentine meal, this restaurant is definitely for you! We plan to come back every year. A Valentine winner!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
My husband And I came here for a
first visit for Valentines Day Dinner. Although we were a little upset that there was a set menu for that night, it was amazing food. The steak was so tender and delicious. You couldn't tell it was live music unless he stopped playing in the middle of a piece (when someone would give him a tip he would stop and than them). He was a great musician. I went to work the following Monday and told everyone to go there! Thank you for the great night"
Dined on 2/14/2014
So I booked a reservation here and
when we got there it was a set menu, which was NOT noted at the time of the reservation. We thought nothing of it and decided to give it a shot (first mistake). After a sub-par appetizer, a tasty filet Mignon, and then a bundt cake dessert that could've come from Target, we received the check to find out that this exceptionally lacking dinner had the lovely price point of $60 a head. If it was $60 total, I might have been okay with its mediocrity, but at $130 for a couple it was utterly appalling. Lessons learned : don't stay when they drop a set menu on you & always ask how much it will cost."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Mediocre service and the food
tasted as if it was heated in a microwave and then brought out. Not to mention all of it could easily be replicated. I and many of the couples around me did not know until the server told us that the menu was set. Mind you I had a reservation and this was for valentines day. It was very apparent that they had issues with not telling people. IN fact one customer voiced it very loudly stating he was not happy with the fact that he was not told about the fixed menu until he was seated. He also stated that he had reservations just as I did. I expect much more than mediocre service at a place with a fixed menu and very expensive at that. Mediocre food, mediocre service, and immature servers."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Note the menu is not the menu that
is on open table or online. However 4 of us had a very good meal. Perfectly cooked and seasoned."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Food was very good, however the
wait was lengthy, which if you don't have additional plans is/was fine for us. Music was a great addition to the dining."
Dined on 1/31/2014
I had only been to this restaurant
previously for drinks at the bar & really enjoyed the ambience! I decided to take my family here for my grandmother's 92nd birthday! The food was wonderful; appetizers including sauted mushrooms served covered in Brie with toastettes, fried calamari & amazing caesar salads were all very tasty & beautiful presentation! Entrees were good, but not fabulous. The spaghetti and meatballs were awesome, pizzas were split, one was very fair & the other was great! They had a great dessert selection, but accomodated us with the cake we brought especially for my grandma! They all sang to her & it was a great evening! I will definitely recommend this place as well as return!"
Dined on 1/16/2014
Martinis were strong and tasty.
Food was well prepared and scrumptious. We came on a quiet night and dinner service was outstanding and the ambience was romantic. Plan on going back on a Friday to partake of the live music festive atmosphere."
Dined on 1/9/2014
It appears they were VERY short
handed, and the service was extremely poor to almost non-existent. Reservation at 7:30, seated at 7:55. No water until 7:20. No bread at all. Finally got our food, which was actually great, but didn't get the wine we ordered, and then had to remind them to take it off the bill. Pretty exhausting experience overall, and not at all how we wanted to spend my birthday, and the holiday! By the time we left we almost felt lucky that we got what we did!!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
I had the steak and it was just
scrumptious. We all loved our food except for the child's pizza but what do you expect on that. They did mess up our appetizers and soups but it was NYE. They where courteous and apologized a lot for it."
Dined on 12/31/2013
This was our first visit. Enjoyed
the atmosphere and the "mood music". The Caesar Salad and the Creme Brulee were both exceptional, and I enjoyed them very much. The main courses were 'good' but nothing to write home about. Would come back for the music, the Caesar Salad, Brulee and Coffee."
Dined on 11/15/2013
Avanti is a gem in the north
Oklahoma City area. Perfect for a romantic get away dinner or a business meeting. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone."
Dined on 10/19/2013
Wonderful live music!! Food and
service as good as it gets !"
Dined on 7/26/2013
Small, quiet little place. The
food is pretty good, maybe a bit pricey. I'd probably go back."
Dined on 7/9/2013
Overall OK. Great food. You dont
get a lot for the price of the food. Service wasnt that great. Staff are unfriendly and have absolutely no smiles. Overall, food was good but severly overpriced."
Dined on 7/2/2013
This was my first time to dine at
Avanti. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get a reservation for a table near the entertainment. My visit was more for meeting the jazz guitarist Maurice Johnson, but turned out the food and service was very good. I had lasagna and caesar salad. Both of these were delicious, and presentation of the entree was beautiful. The hot food arrived hot and the cold food arrived cold, and I enjoyed a nice visit with my date. Our table had a very good view of the beautiful bar area, and we enjoyed a bit of an impromptu show put on by a woman at the bar who appeared to have imbibed too much. We hoped she was okay, but she was not an unpleasant distraction - more of an amusement. The music was great."
Dined on 6/7/2013
While not a buffet lover, Avanti
has it down to a science. Reservations make the provervial line tolerable. The choices aren't "endless", yet varied, and the quality is excellent. What's important is the warm is "warm" and the chilled is "chilled". Their ratio of servers to tables is spot-on! Having three different stations for main courses, desserts and the Bloody Mary Bar for garnishes makes the flow of patrons less crowded in a limited space. Whether you want a Breakfast or Lunch meal - Avanti gives you that choice. Wonderful Mother's Day and other special occasion Brunch - Avanti is our choice. (aside note: the coffee is excellent)"
Dined on 5/12/2013
We have been here five times; the
first three times the food and service was awesome. However, the last two times both the service and food was not what we had anticipated. Requested a quiet place as my uncle is hard of hearing and had to ask to turn the music down. We were all freezing with the AC blowing down on us and the food. Requested the AC be adjusted, also. The waitress was extremely accommodating; however, slow with serving bread and water. When entertaining or just a quiet evening, I wouldn't recommend Avanti's. Loved it 3 out of 5 times. But won't go again."
Dined on 4/30/2013
This is a very nice resturant to
take a guest to or to share with a special person! The decor is attractive and the food quality is very good. They have a lovely separte bar area visible from the dining room and a room that can be curtained off for a party wishing a degree of privacy. They often have alive music and for pleasant weather they have an outdoor patio. Do yourself a favor and try this inique dining spot just South of Quail mall!"
Dined on 3/31/2013
We experienced Avanti for the
first time last Friday night. Our reservation through open table was super easy. When we arrived, the atmosphere was very pleasant, the staff was ready to greet us. The tables with lit candles were lovely as were the decorations. The food was fabulous and the "flirtini" was delicious! The prices were surprisingly affordable. The absolute only complaint is the waitress brought my husband's beer in a bottle; not a glass. Considering how beautiful everything else was, that seemed rather crass to us. The guitar player was excellent, his choices were on par, and the volume was perfect. All in all, we would recommend this restaurant for a nice evening out."
Dined on 3/1/2013
The service was great and the food
was amazing!We loved the ambiance! Great place for a date!"
Dined on 2/23/2013
Restaurant is attached to the
Marriott Courtyard. Very quiet restaurant on Monday night. Food choices were eclectic. I had the cuban pork. It was delicious."
Dined on 2/18/2013
I was with a friend for her
birthday. We stayed in the bar. The drinks were great but the bar is cramped and crowded and service was only average."
Dined on 2/16/2013
Found out about this place from
opentable but had driven by this place many times without a second glance. This place was AMAZING! My wife and I both had a meat dish and you could litterally cut with a butterknie. The price for this food is also very very reasonable. We have went other places through the years to celebrate Valentines day and have spent upwards of $200, but this place comes in at a fraction of that! I will be returning and actually cant wait to!"
Dined on 2/16/2013
Loved all except the gutiar music
was way to loud for the small dining area"
Dined on 2/15/2013
My wife and I went for Valnetine's
day and they had a set menu consisting of Caribbean food. It was fun and I thought the food was very good and well presented. I cannot comment on a normal occasion. They had a band playing Caribbean music and we enjoyed that a lot."

Lesson Plan
Activity Plan 3-4: La Fiesta!
Children will truly get the "flavor" of Latin American traditions with these activities
- Grades: PreK–K
- small paper bags
- paint and brushes
- rubber bands
- dried rice
- Latin music and player
- maracas (if available)
Developing Skills:
- observation
- fine motor
- language
"Que Linda Manito" ("A Pretty Little Hand"). Share this traditional Puerto Rican fingerplay and cancion (song) with your class:
Que linda manito - A pretty little hand (hold hands together)
Que tiene el bebé. - This baby has. (gently stroke hands)
Que linda, que mona, - So pretty and so cute, (open hands and turn over)
Que bonita es. - How lovely it is. (hold both hands close to heart)
Pequenos deditos - Fingers so tiny (wiggle fingers)
Rayitos de sol. - Like small rays of sun, (open hands wide like the sun)
Que gire que gire - Around and around (turn hands around and around)
Como un girasol. - Like a sunflower, (wiggle fingers and open)
Paper Bag Maracas. Explain to children that they are going to make instruments called maracas. Show children a real maraca, if available. Provide each child with a small paper bag, washable tempera paint, and a paintbrush. Ask children to use the paint to decorate their paper bags.
After the bags dry, provide children with dried rice. You may want to place the rice into small plastic cups so that they can pour it easily into their paper bags. Hold each bag with the open end facing up and tighten a rubber band securely around the end of the bag, leaving a few inches at the end for children to grip.
Get in a "fiesta" mood and introduce children to recorded Latin music. Encourage them to keep the rhythm with their maracas, and sing and dance along to the music.
Remember: Some children may be shy about joining in the singing and dancing. Allow these children to clap, or gently shake the maracas, in time to the music.
Send home a copy of the "Que Linda Manito" lyrics for parents to sing with their child at home. Invite them to send in other short, child-friendly songs from their own cultures to share with the class.
Curriculum Connection: COOKING
Tortilla Wraps. Set out tortillas, grated cheddar or jack cheese, shredded lettuce, refried beans, guacamole, and other toppings. Provide each child with a tortilla. Place the ingredients in separate bowls. Assist children in placing their toppings onto their tortillas and rolling them up. What a fun way to eat!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Streamtrekker 1 year only I bought a defender series iPad cover and it literally lasted one year. I use my iPad everyday, but it literally fell to pieces. The hard plastic holds up, but the rubber around it will not last. You can buy (yes, buy) a replacement part, but for the cost, I would buy a liefproof case. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacksodkeow838283 How Great OtterBox Is I have an iPad mini Otterbox defender series. I take my iPad everywhere and my Otterbox goes there as we'll. From dropping 4 foot to kicking out of the car on cement. This case will definitely help you keep your device fully protected. I got an iPod had it one day and cracked the screen I got my iPad put it in an Otterbox and I have had it about 2 to 3 years and it doesn't even have a scratch on it. I will defiantly recommend someone other than me to use Otterbox. June 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sambo1320 The product is amazing. Really protect the product. May 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Remmus007 Great case with one major flaw I have three otterbox cases-- one defender series for iPhone 5s and two for my kid's ipad mini. I love all of them--style, protection they offer, the feel in my hand... What I do not like is how easily scratchable the front screen for the ipad case was. Even with most gentle use. And they are very expensive to replace them as often as the need arises. And the screen cover can't be replaced with some other cheaper brand because the front cover is a solid piece with the whole thing. So, every time there is a scratch that bothers you, get ready to buy the whole case again. February 21, 2014

How heavy is the Defender for iPad Mini w/ Retina without the cover? Also, do I always need the cover, or can I leave it behind?
7 months ago
A:Not real heavy, just bulky. You can leave it behind, but it will only protect from scratches. The rubber part or sleeve comes apart after a few months. My lasted exactly 12, but I used the hard cover every time.

A:It's still pretty heavy. The screen protector is not very thick so I would recommend using the cover while traveling, but that is a personal choice. You can leave it behind, however.

Lung cancer can grow for 20 years before being detected. A plant-based diet, however, may help prevent the disease. Total meat consumption (especially processed meat) has also been associated with lung cancer risk. Eggs also contain harmful dioxins, which appear to increase the odds of getting lung cancer. Consuming just half an egg per day is associated with double the risk of lung cancer. Drinking green tea provides phytocannabinoids (which ease nausea, pain and have a calming effect) without the lung cancer risk associated with smoking marijuana. Green tea is rich in flavonoids, which may explain why Asians have less lung cancer, even given their higher smoking rates. However, antioxidant supplements are not an effective replacement for eating real veggies. Lutein pills have even actually been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer. The inclusion of cruciferous and allium veggies in your diet is an effective dietary-based chemo-preventive strategy and seems to protect DNA from mutation. Similarly, Indian gooseberries and broccoli also appear to be effective in slowing cancer cell growth in a petri dish.

FT. MYERS, Fla.- The Jacksonville University Dolphins (14-32,A-Sun 7-14) and the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles (30-16, A-Sun 14-7) squared off in game three of a weekend series at Swanson Stadium.
The Dolphins jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top half of the second inning. Brady North (Tampa, Fla./Hillsboro CC) led off with a double and advanced to third on a wild pitch. North then scored on an RBI groundout by Braddock Rowe (Jacksonville, Fla./South Georgia College).
The Dolphins kept the pressure on the Eagles adding a run in the top half of the third inning. Kris Molter (Jacksonville, Fla./Bishop Kenny) led off with a triple and scored when Nathan Koslowski (Jacksonville, Fla./Episcopal) reached on an error making it 2-0 Dolphins.
The FGCU offense fired up in the bottom half of the fourth inning. The Eagles scored four runs on four hits to jump to a 4-2 lead off Dolphin starting pitcher Alex McRae (West Allis, Wis./New Berlin Eisenhower).
The Eagles added three more runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning ending the day for McRae. McRae pitched four plus innings allowing seven runs while striking out three and walking three.
FGCU added an insurance run in the bottom half of the sixth when right fielder Michael Suchy hit his second homerun of the day. Both of Suchy's blasts were lead off homeruns.
The Eagles rounded out the scoring with a pair of run in the bottom of the eighth off Will Flor (Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson) to make it 10-2.

We've seen a lot of media servers, projectors, and video processing equipment grace the pages of Live Design and its electronic versions recently, but not a lot of attention has been paid to the other end of the process: shooting in HD. A lot of cameras have come out over the past couple of years that shoot in various formats, including the popular tape-driven HDV format, but if you are looking to shoot in true HD, the best bang for the buck is in the Panasonic HVX200 .
The HVX has a lot of things going for it in any setting, but the single most impressive feature for the kind of work where every show has an entirely different set of needs and circumstances is its flexibility. The HVX can shoot in any and all HD formats including 1080i and 720p, in addition to all SD formats, both interlaced and progressive. It can record to P2 storage cards (proprietary cards that can be offloaded onto any laptop with a PCMCIA slot at high speed), external Firewire drives, and even—in the SD formats—to DVC Pro tapes. With a small hack easily done to the P2 cards, you can record at any frame rate between two and 60 frames per second. It accepts a wide variety of lenses, including SLR still camera lenses with the purchase of an adaptor.
XLR audio inputs, a range of "Cinelike" gammas and a workflow optimized for Final Cut Pro round out the features on the HVX. At around $5,500, it's not a light purchase, but in comparison to the feature sets on the cheaper HDV cameras and the cost of the higher-end HD cams, the camera is a beautiful compromise.

(WMC-TV) - By the summer of 2017, Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) says there will be an estimated 350,000 travelers along the 40/240 exchange in East Memphis.
In preparation for all those drivers, TDOT says big changes are ahead.
Computer generated graphics show a pretty detailed drive along the new 40-240 flyover out east.
Crews are already hard at work out east reworking traffic in the area.
The project, which is the largest in state history, will not be completed for another three or three and a half years.
"Our motorists are gonna have to be patient," said TDOT spokesperson Nichole Lawrence.
Work on this project is already being done. Cranes are helping drive pilings in the ground to support new ramps.
But that is not all.
If you drive northbound from Walnut Grove to go eastbound I-40 to Sycamore View, get ready for more travel delays.
"We're gonna be shifting traffic over in order to widen it to have an extra lane. We will shift three lanes over to the inside, that way we can work on the outside," added TDOT project manager Steve Chipman.
TDOT also says after the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, one lane of Sam Cooper Boulevard east and westbound will close for construction.
According to TDOT, drivers will have at least one week's notice to plan for the many changes that will come along with this massive project.
"If our motorists can adjust travel times, adjust routes, that would be perfect," Lawrence said.
TDOT advises drivers in the area to stay informed on social media using its mobile app. They say the inconvenience will definitely be worth the wait.

text: Two semi-trucks crashed on Interstate 10 and one of those trucks burst into flames. The driver of that truck was killed in the crash which kept the eastbound lanes of freeway closed for hours Wednesday morning.The first accident scene was a few miles east of those semis and investigators believe the backup is what caused those semi-trucks to crash.This was all thanks to a very bizarre chain of events. The first accident was the result of a man fighting with his family about 20 miles west of Phoenix near MC 85.Just before the crash, the driver let his mother-in-law and daughter out on the side of I-10."The vehicle then got back on the roadway at a high rate of speed and just for whatever reason whether between lane changes or on purpose, we are not sure, made contact with that second vehicle and caused it to roll," said Sgt. Jason Yeager of the Department of Public Safety.A mother and her five children were in the second vehicle. All of them were ejected and taken to an area hospital. Two required surgery.None of the children were wearing their seatbelts -- something authorities always stress, but even more so during the holidays."One of those individuals..the first walked away 'cause she was wearing her seat belt and unfortunately, a lot of the other people did not," said Yeager.About 45 minutes later, with the freeway closed and traffic backed up, a semi-truck slammed into another semi and burst into flames, killing the driver.The burned semi was carrying furniture. The other was hauling drywall. The driver of that truck wasn't seriously hurt.As for the 35-year-old driver, whose argument with family members started all of this, he remains hospitalized. The rest of his family is okay."Going into the holidays, it is the last thing you really want to hear about. It is unfortunate. A misunderstanding between two people could turn into something so big," said Yeager.Once the 35-year-old is able to be released from the hospital, he is expected to be booked on a number of charges, including aggravated assault.The semi-truck driver who died and the family with five children are all from California.No names were released in this case.

Backpacker Magazine – March 2010
Imagine an Alaskan paradise with trout bigger than your leg, bears, and caribou traipsing by camp, and no people–except your good friends. This place exists, we just can't tell you where it is.
The storm raging outside is the kind that makes two-person backpacking tents seem awfully tiny. But in true raft-trip style, we're not bunkered down. Instead, we're sipping merlot, snacking on baked brie with crackers, and swapping tall tales beneath a sturdy Sierra Designs dome big enough for a dinner table and six folding chairs.
We pepper our guides with questions and learn that the first two days–as the rafts glide through shallow waters with little vegetation–will be quiet. "But then," says Glenn with a measured voice and a thousand-yard squint, "we could be hitting 40 to 50 fish a day." We'll tie pink and orange knitting yarn to our hooks while drifting, and use plastic jewelry beads when we stop to cast. Bill, equal parts fly-fishing shaman and profane jokester, explains that the yarn will mimic a cluster of roe bouncing along the streambed, and the bead a single egg. Later in the trip, a 20-inch rainbow vomits reddish-orange salmon eggs into my hand as I remove its hook–and I'll change my bead to match the color, to immediate effect.
The morning comes soon, and with it our new daily routine: a leisurely breakfast (pancakes, bacon-egg sandwiches, fresh juice, and coffee), a few casts, onto the river by 10 a.m., drift until 5 or 6 p.m., appetizers followed by a lavish dinner, drinks (boxed wine, single malt scotch, 18-year-old bourbon), cigars, sunset around 11 p.m., and one last look at the grizzly tracks where we pitched the tent. (Bear sign covers every gravel bar, and wolf and caribou tracks are frequent, but we encounter no evidence of human activity in the first week except for two small fire rings.)
The action picks up in the miles below ******** Falls. The big king I catch while riding the bow of Frank's boat signals that the run is arriving. "The rainbows and Dolly Varden will jockey for space behind the salmon that have stopped and dug pits in the gravel for their eggs," he explains. "The salmon guard their spots pretty ferociously–you'll see them take bites out of other fish–but the current washes a lot of eggs downstream."
After navigating the whitewater of ******** Falls and ******** *****, we hook more fish than the stars of an ESPN bass show. (I can't credit our technique; in the windy, brushy conditions, every tenth cast finds a bush.) The rainbows explode out of the water with spectacular acrobatics, while the Dolly Varden and grayling seem to prefer the dive-and-dart method. Without exception, they go right back into the water, their hunger pardoned by Glenn's strict catch-and-release policy. On day six, we stop for lunch at a heavily braided bend in the river and watch a bald eagle soar back to its nest with a glinting fish gripped in its left talon; the nest, which holds a juvenile bird, must be 10 feet wide. For the river's full length, the avian life nearly matches its aquatic abundance. We see owls, terns, loons, and harlequins that dive below the water or zip along three feet above its surface. Two mother mergansers guide their combined brood of 12 into a sheltered eddy where they can clamber ashore and hide in the bushes. At another bend, I almost lose my hat to a dive-bombing gull whose downy chick lurches out of its nest and across the smooth cobbles.
You can tell me. I won't tell my daughter and son-in-law that retired up there. Nor would I ever visit them and ask them to take ME to that place. I promise! <fingers crossed>
I don't think if you tell people where you are, there is suddenly going to be a rush of people who wouldn't normally spend thousands of bucks, and brave tiny little prop planes and wild bears just to go fishing.. heading up there. Way up there.
any who.... jealous I am. I can almost hear the water and smell the clean air....

FRANKTON — A month after Frankton's eighth-grade class visited the Capitol building and U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks in Washington, D.C., she returned the favor by stopping by Frankton Junior/Senior High School on Monday.
Brooks, who represents Indiana's 5th District, visited the school for two hours, talking to various classes about government and technology.
Brooks first visited the school's computer lab and chatted with students about what they were learning. She said computer science jobs are on the rise and will be a huge part of the economy when these students are looking for jobs.
She also mentioned a new amendment that has just been attached to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act that allows schools to use their federal funding for their computer science classes. The act still needs to receive Senate approval.
"It would allow for teachers to get more professional development," Brooks said. "So they can bring AP exams and fund those AP exams for kids who take a lot of computer science."
She told students she hears companies say they aren't getting enough people with computer programming degrees.
The freshman representative then met with the class she showed around the Capitol building in October. Because of the government shutdown, visitors had to be accompanied by a legislator at all times, so the class got a personal tour from Brooks.
They got to see things normally not on tours such as the cornerstone of the building. They also got to go on the House floor and even got a tour of the Speaker of the House's balcony.
It's no surprise that the personal tour was one of the highlights for the students, who presented Brooks with a framed picture collage and a scrapbook of their trip.
Breanna Boles said the Capitol was her favorite part of the trip.

Outdoor enthusiasts got some good news recently concerning two local trails. Though it likely will take a couple of years to finish, the city of Kokomo currently is working toward linking the Nickel Plate Trail with its own Industrial Heritage Trail.
Once complete, perhaps by 2015, the merged trails will run from Rochester to Kokomo's Gano Street.
First, the Nickel Plate will be brought south from Cassville's Main Street to Howard County Road 400 North, near the Indiana Transmission Plant I's north parking lot. To get there, the trail must be laid under a new U.S. 31 bypass that crosses the trail south of 450 North.
Once the overpass is complete, it's just a matter of clearing and grading the railroad easement and paving it south to 400 North. There, the city will install a trailhead parking area.
The city hopes to have this part of the project complete by the end of this year.
City engineer Carey Stranahan told us earlier this month the administration also hopes to complete a trail from Apperson Way North, near where it merges with North Washington Street, south to Gano Street. Howard County government is contributing $290,000 for the trail, and the Indiana Department of Transportation is kicking in another $150,000.
Standing in the way of completing the linked trail to Gano Street is a $2 million pedestrian bridge spanning the current U.S. 31. State and federal grants will pay the majority of the cost, with the city kicking in about $550,000. Stranahan estimates completion of the pedestrian bridge by 2015.
When that happens, the trail will stretch 42 miles from Rochester to Kokomo. And the hard work of residents and organizers — Kokomo resident Charlie Skoog, the local Citizens Advisory Committee on Alternative Transportation, Mayor Greg Goodnight and the Howard County commissioners — will ensure it does.
Their work now will pay dividends for generations to come.
Whether you're walking, running or riding a bicycle, the trails offer a great way to get out and get some exercise, not to mention enjoy the beautiful Indiana scenery.
The volunteers and government officials pursuing these projects have shown great vision. We applaud them for their efforts.

Jerome Scott, Project South & Walda Katz-Fishman, Project South & Howard University
To build today's movement to fight for and to win justice, equality, peace and popular democracy we must understand how the ruling class has historically controlled the American people and what we must do to break that control.* The short answer is that the ruling class has controlled us through a southern strategy rooted in super-exploitation, white supremacy, male privilege, division, and brutal repression. Today's bottom-up movement needs its own southern strategy to challenge white supremacy at its core, capitalist private property, and male domination, etc. We need to build unity across historic divides and to model the principles and processes of popular democracy in our movement as we struggle to transform society. To win nationally, we must win in the South.
To address the question of what a bottom-up southern strategy for power in the 21st century would look like we consider these three questions: 1. Why did Democrats not have a southern strategy in this election and the Republicans did? 2. Why did the Democrats used to have a southern strategy but do not now? 3. What does this means for a bottom-up southern strategy? We begin by stating what we mean by a southern strategy and then answer these questions.
Southern Strategies – theirs & ours
What the ruling class' southern strategy looks like
It took a long time – 500+ years – to perfect the evil of today's US empire. And it began in the US South. The American nation, at its inception, was a southern nation. The South set the direction and limits for reaction in the country as well as for progress.
The US South, from the beginning of the American nation, has been the site of the most violent exploitation and oppression – from genocide to slavery, from the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow to states' rights, from the super-exploitation of southern workers across race/ethnicity/nationality and gender to the open face of terror of the US police state. The 3/5 rule in the US Constitution – counting slaves as 3/5 of a person for electoral purposes – ensured slave owners' control of the country even as enslaved Africans, indigenous peoples and poor whites were denied the right to vote.
In the post-Civil War period Wall Street controlled the South, but the South controlled the nation. The Hayes-Tilden Compromise of 1877 signaled the end of federal occupation of the South, the beginning of the defeat of Reconstruction, and the renewed disenfranchisement of blacks, other peoples of color and working class whites in the South. These events guaranteed Dixiecrat control – i.e., southern reactionary Democratic Party control – over local, state and national political institutions. In response to the civil rights reforms of the 1950s and 60s, the "solid – Democratic – South" began to break up as many leading Dixiecrats jumped ship to join the Republican Party. Today the South is again a battleground over power, politics and policies affecting racial, economic and social justice struggles in the US and around the world.
What the people's southern strategy looks like
The US South has also been the site of the most determined and consistent fight for black freedom, indigenous self-determination, working class emancipation and human liberation. Early maroon communities of Native and African Americans offered a refuge and a place from which to challenge genocide and slavery. The abolition movement, including slave rebellions, the Underground Railroad – with strong leadership from black women, and the ensuing Civil War ultimately brought down the southern slaveocracy. Sharecroppers – black and white – organized for their economic survival. The anti-lynching movement – also with powerful black women's leadership – organized against this most brutal form of terror and control. Southern labor – women and men and sometimes in multiracial coalitions – organized and led strikes for work, wages, unions and a better life. The modern Civil Rights Movement including, e.g., the NAACP of Monroe, NC, Black Panther Party (founded in Alabama), Deacons for Defense, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Women's Political Council, Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC) and Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, among others organized for black self-defense and/or won reforms for race relations and gender relations, but not class relations – in the US South and the rest of the country. And there is in the South today a growing social and economic justice movement including many recent immigrants to the US.
Where these struggles have been successful there has been some degree of unity across race/ethnic/nationality lines, women have been a powerful voice and force, and those most affected have been in the leadership. When struggles have been grounded in the South they have most often been part of powerful national movements – e.g., the abolition movement to end chattel slavery and the modern Civil Rights Movement to reform race and gender relations in the US. But, when struggles have been blocked in the South, this has often meant that the struggles nationally are derailed or delayed – e.g., the trade union movement in the post-World War II era, the passage by most southern states of anti-labor "right-to-work" laws and these same states' refusal to pass the ERA – Equal Rights Amendment – for women's rights as a constitutional amendment. A people's southern strategy is an essential foundation for today's movement if we are to win the popular democracy, justice and equality we are fighting for.
Why the Democrats did not have a southern strategy in the 2004 election and the Republicans did
For the Democratic Party to win the South it has to mobilize the African American community, other communities of color and inner-city low-income communities in that region – where close to 60% of African Americans live today. But to do this is to help set the basis for building a bottom-up movement for fundamental change. So the Democrats decided in 2000 and again in 2004 they would take the chance, and would rather lose than risk mobilizing this volatile base.
On the other hand, the Republicans were able to win the South without mobilizing the African American community, other communities of color and low-income communities. So the ruling class' southern strategy in 2000 and 2004 was led by the Republican Party. It mobilized its suburban base of middle and upper class whites as well as its religious fundamentalist base of working and middle class whites. And this was a winning southern strategy for the ruling class. They won the South without mobilizing the volatile base of those most adversely affected by today's economic and political realities.
Why the Democrats used to have a southern strategy but do not now
The ruling class has always had a southern strategy – a deeply repressive and oppressive form of rule in the US south that set the basis for political control of the entire nation. Depending on the historical moment, the party that carried out this strategy was sometimes the Democrats and sometimes the Republicans. Regardless of which ruling class political party it was, the strategy is always the same – brutal repression and super-exploitation built upon a foundation of white supremacy, patriarchy and all forms of division and couched in the language of false morality and religion.
Whichever party represents the most reactionary section of the ruling class at any given historical moment tells us which party is going to have a southern strategy. From the end of the Civil War to the modern Civil Rights Movement, the ruling class carried out its southern strategy most often through the reactionary southern wing of the Democratic Party. With the end of Jim Crow and the defection of the "solid South" reactionary Democrats – the Dixiecrats – to the Republican Party, that party today is clearly the Republicans.
In the final analysis though, the ruling class' southern strategy is about maintaining power. And sometimes this includes winning elections and sometimes it does not.
Today's movement moment – winning & keeping it
Today our movement is challenged to learn for these lessons of our history and struggles and to chart a path to a victory that we can win and hold onto. We think there are two key lessons for this moment – "how we build our movement" and "why it's possible to build our movement and win."
How we build our movement
The most essential tactic of the ruling class in its southern strategy has always been and remains today white supremacy and all its manifestations – institutionalized racism, white privilege and racist/anti-immigrant ideology, etc. This makes it the most essential target for a bottom-up southern strategy if we are to be successful.
Too often in the past our movement has not recognized as important or tried to embrace, practice or struggle around the principles and processes of popular democracy for building our bottom-up movement for justice, equality and liberation. This has resulted in a lack of sufficient internal struggle around the privileges of wealth, white supremacy, legal status, male dominance, heterosexism, language, ability and age, etc. This has kept us divided and has weakened our movement.
Clearly in this movement moment we must challenge and struggle against all forms of privilege and oppression within our movement, as well as in the larger society, and move forward together on the basis of equality and collectivity. A related task is to develop a broad and diverse collective leadership so that our movement is not dependent on a single "leader" or "founder." Finally, it is essential that we build a political base independent of the two political parties of the ruling class (Democrats and Republicans).
How we build our movement is the very foundation of the new society we are struggling to bring into being. So we must walk the talk – or we will not be able win.
Why it's possible to build our movement and win
The second key lesson is that the electronic technology now available to humanity can provide for the material and cultural needs of our communities world over. In the past we struggled to reform an unjust and unequal system, but one that was based on material scarcity. We did not have within our grasp the real solution to the problem of how to meet the needs of all humanity. To collectively share the resources and things we need and to realize our principle of equality truly requires abundance – so all of us can get what we need.
Today's new technology – automation, robotics, computers, digitization, etc. – makes it possible to have an abundance of all the goods and services we need – food, housing, education, health care, transportation, cultural expressions and time for family and friends. The technology is also available to do this in a safe and sustainable way that respects the total environment we live in and share with nature. This abundance means an end to scarcity and an end to the inequality and power domination that comes with it and that we have known too long.
For us popular democracy – equality, participatory decision-making, struggle and liberation – is an essential set of organizing and educating principles and processes for growing our movement for justice, equality and liberation and for transforming our society and reconstructing the new world we are visioning and fighting for. Make it happen!

I rated this recipe a 4 instead of a 5 because if I hadn't added extra taco seasoning, cayenne pepper, and chili pepper it would have been pretty bland. I also added a 4 oz can of green chilies. I had a 28 ounce can of stewed tomatoes and I am glad I used the whole can otherwise it wouldn't have been soup. My husband is not a fan of tomatoes so he thinks it would be much better with diced tomatoes, that way the tomatoes wouldn't be so big :)
Reviewed Aug. 8, 2010
One of my husband's favorite meals, especially since it is easy to reheat and have as a leftover. Also, we've made it on camping trips, because of how easy is to make and how many it feeds.

Then fate gives the Pussycats the chance of a lifetime when band manager Wyatt (Alan Cumming) of Mega Records signs them overnight to an awesome recording contract. Suddenly, Josie and the Pussycats are living life in the fast lane with sold-out concerts, a number one single and global stardom. But it's not all limousines and private jets. The Pussycats soon discover they're being played like pawns in an evil plot by the record label's maniacal CEO Fiona (Parker Posey) to control the youth of America.

When they are discovered by Wyatt, they give in and become big rock stars. But will they find out that they are just pawns for the record industry or will fame take them over?

Now, I found that Disney does it a lil different then most cruise lines from the beginning to the end of the cruise:
1. The boarding process to be efficient and quick. Announcing, "The Disney Dream Welcomes (by last name) Family".
2. Food was excellent and surprised by "No Charge" for sodas. I did find that the Enchanted Garden and Royal Palace Main Dining Rooms are poorly laid out and very tight. Comments by others passengers said the Magic and Wonder do not suffer from this problem. There is a 24/7 room service but an all night eatery would have been nice. Everything shuts down at 1:00 AM.
3. The cabin balcony cabin was roomy (for the three of us), well appointed and very comfortable. The split bath w/sink and toilet w/sink worked out great. KUDO's on their cabin design. Other cruise lines could learn a thing or two on this point.
4. Entertainment, all I can say is that NOTHING, NOBODY does it better than Disney.
5. Disembarkation, even though there wasn't a announced plan. Just go have breakfast and leave. I was shocked, no lines, no confusion, walked off, found our luggage and left.
There is more but you'll have find that out for yourself.
My experience is summed up, do it, it is a great experience for children and their families. Being retired, I was happy to feel and see the smiles on my daughters face. One day, if I ever become a grandparent, I may do another Disney cruise but until then, I'll stick with adult themed voyages.

Playing the Field: Was Beckham a failure in U.S. experiment?
David Beckham is taking his soccer ball and going home to be with his hot wife.
That's right, the famous 38-year-old footballer (that's what his English fans call him, trust us) announced his decision to retire at the end of the season, according to multiple media outlets.
Beckham was dispatched to the United States in 2006 like the pied piper of checkered orbs. The Los Angeles Galaxy, of Major League Soccer, threw millions at him in an effort to put soccer on the average American's radar.
It never happened, at least among the beer-swilling male demographic they had hoped for. The Galaxy were sold a broken-down version of Beckham, one that just couldn't bend it anymore.
Beckham grossed a reported $255 million over six seasons in L.A. before leaving in 2012. While it's true he helped grow the league — they sold a ton of jerseys and MLS added seven new franchises since 2007 — they were in very niche markets. Fact is, go into any neighborhood bar in downtown Chester, Pa. (home of the Philadelphia Union) and they're not likely to be watching soccer highlights. The local guys in there motion for another PBR and dream about the Sixers drafting the next Steph Curry.
Of course, Beckham's impact on another demographic, females — all ages, all shapes, all sizes — is an entirely different topic (in the few seconds it took me to type this sentence, I heard at least five bras snap —maybe bend?). Beckham's style and looks won him a living, breathing brand. Even we got a little verklempt over that H&M ad (by the way, were those abs air-brushed?)
Anyway, here's what we'll miss most about Becks:
1. Messing with Sasquatch. A few years back, Becks was going through a rough patch in his life so he took out his frustrations on an opposing mascot. We haven't seen this much fight from a Brit since the Revolution.
2. Posh posh. Yes, the biggest loss for us will be not seeing his knockout wife, Victoria, aka Posh Spice. Plus, you know it was secretly Beckham's idea to re-unite the Spice Girls. Thank you!
3. Senior citizen couture. With Becks retired, he should have lots and lots of free time. That means ample time for the up-and-coming fashion designer to devote to working on his new clothing line — you know, the one made exclusively for senior citizens. From Milan to the Senior Center.

A former Providence Police officer convicted of rape in 2010 will appeal his sentence before the Rhode Island Supreme Court Tuesday.
Marcus Huffman, 40, was convicted in 2010 of raping a woman he picked up outside a Providence Club while on duty. A Judge sentenced Huffman to 40-years in prison for his actions.
Huffman picked up the woman who was intoxicated and physically helpless and offered her a ride home. Instead he brought her to a police substation and raped her on the bathroom floor.
When the woman left she went to her aunt's house to call the police to report the incident. Huffman was one of the responding officers.
In court he issued a tearful apology to the woman her family and the Providence Police Department.
Huffman's attorney said the act was not rape but instead consensual sex but the woman took the stand during the trial saying she is a lesbian and not physically attracted to men.
Huffman joined the force in 1994.

Late twentieth and early twenty-first century America has been labeled as "The New Gilded Age," a phrase that embodies the glitz and glamour of one of the wealthiest countries in the world but also suggests the greed, corruption, and inequalities teeming just below the surface. Identifying some of the sparkling moments of humanity interwoven between the moments of crisis, Best of Times, Worst of Times features short stories by such renowned writers as Junot Diaz, George Saunders, Jhumpa Lahiri, Tobias Wolff, and many others, whose distinctive authorial voices lend urgency and a sense of heightened awareness to the modern moment. Commenting on and making sense of what is going on in America today, fractured as it is by two ongoing wars, the aftermath of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, these stories speak to some of the most germane issues confronting America today, from race relations, immigration, and social class to gender issues, Iraq, and imperialism. These expertly culled, emotionally powerful stories provide the perfect mirror with which to examine the real state of the union.
