The wife and I were looking at apartments around the area and spotted Ultimo Coffee. We had been to SPTR, but I didn't know about this joint (owned by the same folks).
Not much to see here, just a corner store with coffee and beer. A couple of tables inside and out and cool music playing on the stereo. It is a great place to just hang out and chill, or to pull your computer and write beer reviews. It doesn't get super busy here that you feel like you gotta give your table up.
The coffee is super good, and the beer selection is top-notch as well. Evil Twin Aun Mas Cafe Jesus, Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Bourbon, lots of Russian River, Hardywood Bourbon Cru, Omnipollo Hypnopompa, Sucaba, Dogfish 120... lots of rarities. You'll pay dearly for them, but if you've got the cash and want a good, extreme beer, Brew is the place. They now have three draft lines for growler fills.
There is some food- gourmet sandwiches all day and pastries/baked goods in the morning. Good stuff.
I may be biased because I am now a resident of the neighborhood, but I'm loving this place!

I stop in here on occasion, always after hitting up SPTR. Brew is right across the street which is very handy if in a pinch.
Brew is fairly small, it's pretty muchh a cafe and coffee bar that serves beer to go. Im not sure if you can drink on premises here. The coolers are to the left with a small standing area to the right. About 8 coolers in full with assorted selections consisting of locals, regionals, West coast stuff, pretty much everything that Philly gets and alot of Bella Vista distributed beer. Some European selections as well which is always nice to see. As with Philly, bottles here are pricy so beware of what you pick up. You really cant get away from any bottle shop in Philly (Im not singling out BREW here) without getting taken a bit. Luckily, brew clearly marks their bottles, Which in Philly is about all you can ask for.

It's nice being in Philly these days for the beer drinker because there is so much variety and accessibility to good beer for people in so many different Philadelphia neighborhoods. Brew is the only notable bottle shop West of Broad and south of Washington. A bottle shop in this neighborhood is understandably run-by and patronized by mostly young, white, middle-class hipsters looking for an authentic urban experience... Like most coffee shops it has attractive, tatted young people in edgy clothes working there. There are a number of coffee drinkers chilling out on their macbooks and gaggle of fixed gear and vintage bikes locked up out front. It's a cool place to hang out if you want to feel young and and trendy. There is plenty of light from the big window, lots of tables and chairs, and laid back staff that will leave you alone if you are working on the next great American novel or just shooting the breeze with friends.
The beer selection is pretty good and kept cold in one row of 5 or 6 glass front coolers. The highlights were FW Abacus & Parabola, RR Supplication, Redemption, & Consecration, LA Red Poppy, Stoudts Old Abominable, good selection of 12 singles from Bells, Founders, Victory and Troegs. Whereas some beers were reasonably priced, Bells singles were $2.50-4 for most everything, some beers were ass-rape: $30 for Red Poppy, $22-25 for Abacus and Parabola, $10.50 for Stone IRS, there are more but I don't want to mis-remember (no notepad) erroneously giving wrong specifics. The pricing was mostly clearly labeled with bottle caps below or infront of the rows of beer, but the high prices of some bottles are some of the highest I've seen anywhere for to-go beer. I think that most bars with bottles lists are comparable in price and will at least open the beer for you, pour it and then wash the glass you drank it from.
Overall, I think this place is very expensive, although it's set-up nice and the staff was friendly (and attractive).

Transcribed from notes dated T, 10 August 2010.
I was on a mission on this day. I had received a trade request for Sly Fox CANs and I was getting ready to head to Madison, WI that Thursday so I needed to reload and ship mos' quick. I had a list of all Beer Stores on BA Beer Fly at the time and I decided to visit as many of the ones that offered singles and sixers as I could, taking notes at each one.
"Beer and coffee together at last." That was their motto, but I had partaken in a Spring House Planet Bean the past weekend, so who was zoomin' who?
Located on the southwest corner of South 15th and Mifflin Streets, the entry was angled to the corner. Entering, tables and chairs lined the north wall ending at the lavatory all the way aft (west). The coffee and pastry counter was just inside the door along the south wall. Quantifying the selection: three (3) coolers, four (4) doors and four (4) shelves each for thirty-two (32) beers per door times twelve (12) doors. 32 x 12 = My Lit mind does not do math easily. Lots. It boasted a great selection and the prices were clearly marked, but I mused "Why bother when SPTR is just up the street?" as I had my second single of the day. I guess that for takeaway and singles, this is going to fill the need as the answer to my non sequitur.

Visited mid-afternoon, 9/11/10.
Just a block east of South Philadelphia Taproom and across the street, I wouldn't have thought twice about stopping in had I not parked my car out front... When I pulled up, I barely took notice of the clusters of twenty-somethings chatting over lattes or loners hunched over laptops at the outdoor seats of this seemingly innocent non-corporate coffee shop. After lunch and a couple brews at SPTR, and having caught barely 3 hours of fitful sleep on a cross-country journey, curiosity got the best of me and a cuppa joe sounded good. 'Ultimo Coffee' sounded cool as I neared, but...what's this?...'Brew'??? I'd seen 'BREW' pop up as a wi-fi option an hour before but figured it was part of SPTR's network. I was wrong.
Entering off the corner (what's with these odd corner columns?), I sorta forgot the coffee when I spotted 8-10 glowing coolers of single bottles to the left, halfway across the clean and comfortably lit cafe. Interesting concept: half coffee house, half bottle shop - though given my limited knowledge of PA's quirky beer laws, it's a perfect fit. Have a bagel with your bock, a panini with your porter. Coolers were nicely broken up by regions, representing local micros the likes of which I had never heard of in a few instances and all the big craft brewers in the Upper Midwest and the majority of the Atlantic seaboard. Plenty of imports, too, with emphasis on Belgium and Germany.
One thing I liked right away was the clear labeling, small multi-colored stickers mounted inside bottle caps in front of each row (as opposed to the cryptic tome kept at unnamed store visited later). Another was the friendly service, courtesy of a lone young lady (Jade) hanging out at the back register ("we have to keep beer and coffee sales separate", she informed me). We chatted a few minutes and she had a reasonably good knowledge of what was stocked...frankly, I don't have to have great recommendations when I'm traveling, because I often just like to grab local bottles and throw caution to the wind. She asked about where I was from, why I was visiting and knew about several of my favorite Oregon breweries...a much nicer experience than the lackluster reception across the street.
In the end I walked away having spent nearly $14 on a mixed six-pack containing one each from some regional breweries I'd (mostly) never tried: Cricket Hill and River Horse of NJ; Yards, Lancaster and Sly Fox of PA; Arcadia of MI. Not too unreasonable, but more than I'm used to paying to mix back home...and that was WITH a 10% discount (then an added 10% 'Phila. Liquor Tax', WTF?).
Then what did I do? Forgot to buy coffee! Oh well...
A happy little accident to stumble on this place and one I'd shop at again if I lived nearby. It should be noted that their license to sell beer was just granted in Spring 2010, so it's worth a stop if you're a frequenter of SPTR and might otherwise ignore the coffee place down the block.

Right around the corner from the South Philly Tap room, great location. I just happened to wander in when my sister went for a cup of coffee and I was very pleasantly surprised. Plenty of bottle options from places like the Bruery, Russian River, Alesmith, Lost Abbey, and Pretty Things, just to name a few. Lots of local selections were available as well. Most of the hundreds(?) of bottles they offered had price tags on them. Are you listening Foodery? Some prices were on the fair to low side. Orval was $6 for instance, a very fair price imo. I bought some Consecration for $13 which seemed about right. I was shocked to see a $25 price tag on the Stoudt's Old Abominable, that is insanely high. There is a bench for seating running parallel to the beer coolers. There is only room for one person comfortably in this space, so browsing can be awkward. Overall, I would have no problem suggesting this as worthwhile place to bottle shop if you're in the neighborhood.

Expand eligibility for Medicaid
"Expand eligibility for the Medicaid and SCHIP programs and ensure that these programs continue to serve their critical safety net function."
Subjects: Health Care, Poverty
Health care bill includes landmark expansion of Medicaid
Updated: Friday, March 26th, 2010 | By Louis Jacobson
The health care bill signed into law by President Barack Obama kept his promise to "expand eligibility for the Medicaid and SCHIP programs and ensure that these programs continue to serve their critical safety net function."
Even before passage, we had already rated the SCHIP portion a Promise Kept. Now, with passage of the health care bill, Medicaid -- the federal-state program that provides health coverage for lower-income Americans -- will see a landmark expansion.
Historically, Medicaid coverage has been focused primarily on pregnant women, children and the disabled. Under the new law, eligibility will be expanded to all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. New beneficiaries will be assured a package that includes essential health benefits.
This new coverage is set to begin in 2014, but we believe the enactment of the law fulfills Obama's promise. If something happens to derail this policy change before 2014, we will adjust the rating, but for now, we're considering it a Promise Kept.

Health reform bill in House dramatically expands Medicaid eligibility
Updated: Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 | By Angie Drobnic Holan
After months of talking about health care reform, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced major legislation to overhaul the nation's health care system. House Democrats unveiled the 1,000-plus-page bill, called America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, on July 14, and it includes most of President Barack Obama's key proposals on health reform.
One of Obama's ideas was to expand eligibility for Medicaid, a public health insurance program primarily for pregnant women, children and the disabled. The House bill expands Medicaid eligibility to poor adults, which it defines as nondisabled, childless adults under age 65 with income at or below 133 percent of federal poverty level, about $14,400 per year for an individual.
We should be clear that there's a long way to go — maybe months — before this bill becomes law. It has to get through the Senate, where many an ambitious House bill has seen its hopes dashed.
Nevertheless, the bill marks significant, measurable progress on Obama's promise, and we rate it In the Works.

Steven Pasquale Cast in Williamstown Premiere of Jason Robert Brown's The Bridges of Madison County
By Adam Hetrick
Steven Pasquale will return to the Williamstown Theatre Festival this summer as part of the world-premiere Jason Robert Brown musical The Bridges of Madison County. The season will also include appearances by John Benjamin Hickey and Patricia Clarkson.
Pasquale (Reasons to Be Pretty, "Rescue Me") appeared in the Williamstown production of Far From Heaven last summer, and will also star in the upcoming Off-Broadway transfer of that musical at Playwrights Horizons this spring.
Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher (Golden Boy, South Pacific, The Light in the Piazza) will stage the project that has a score by Tony winner Brown (Parade, Songs for a New World) and a book by Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner Marsha Norman (The Secret Garden, 'Night Mother). It will run Aug. 1-18.
Pasquale will step into the role of Robert Kincaid, originated on screen by Clint Eastwood. The Williamstown production of Bridges of Madison County was originally announced to star Pasquale's Far From Heaven co-star Kelli O'Hara; however, the actress is expecting her second child, and will not be able to appear in the summer engagement. O'Hara will appear in the Off-Broadway run of Far From Heaven, which runs through June 30.
Additional casting for The Bridges of Madison County will be announced.
It has also been announced that Tony Award winner Hickey (The Normal Heart) and Academy Award nominee Clarkson ("Pieces of April," The Elephant Man) have been cast in a one-night-only July 1 staged reading of Kay Cattarula's Scott and Zelda, directed by Maria Tucci.
According to WTF, "New York in the Jazz Age, glamorous life on the Riviera, competing ambitions, true love – what didn't go into the Fitzgeralds' legendary marriage? Scott and Zelda allows audiences to hear the story in their own words – drawn from their novels and commentary from intimates like Ernest Hemingway and others. Their edgy union, challenged by traumatic breakdowns and critical failures, found its best expression in their final letters, which are among the most moving ever written."

Why the test is done:
This test can be used to determine if your baby has a chromosomal disorder or for fetal lung maturity.
How the test is done:
A small needle is placed through the abdomen into the uterus to collect a small sample of amniotic fluid. Ultrasound is used to guide the needle away from the baby and the placenta.
When the test is done:
Genetic disorders testing can be done as early as 11 weeks until the end of pregnancy. Fetal lung maturity is done before the decision is made to induce or let premature labor continue, usually after 34 weeks.
How the results are given:
Depends on the test done.
Where do you go from here?
Genetic disorders that are detected will be referred to the genetic counselor for further counseling and decision making. Fetal lung maturity will be decided to wait and re-test or to go ahead with the birth or induction.
Alternative Tests:
The chorionic villus sampling (CVS) test is available earlier in pregnancy.

PEORIA, Ill - May 13-19 is National Police Week. Americans are called to recognize the service and sacrifice of those serving in law enforcement.
The Peoria County Sheriff's Department held its annual memorial for its fallen officers.
Four members of the department, and one K-9 officer, have given their lives in service to Peoria County.
Sheriff Michael McCoy says the community can't forget what these officers gave up to protect the community.
"They've given the ultimate sacrifice. Their families are still with us. We were good friends with at least two of the officers that we had here," McCoy said. "Most of us knew them personally. And their memory needs to be brought forth at least once a year."
At the annual awards dinner, Deputy Sheriff Jeffrey Avery received the 2011 Deputy Sheriff of the Year award for his work in combating cyber-crime.
"That's the thing that I get the most satisfaction out of. Knowing that there are predators out there that all they want to do is go after our young kids. And now, you know, with the Internet, it's so much easier for them to do that," said Avery.
Awards were also given for the Peoria County Corrections Department and several civilian awards.

Albertos let "Best of" award go to its head
Original post made by Disappointed by Albertos Service on Sep 22, 2007
"Best of" tacos maybe, but not customer service or hospitality - not when the hostess cares more about getting the kitchen staff clocked out then serving someone a bowl of soup and a burrito after a school event.
We'll be sure to keep that in mind for all of the upcoming school and sports events where we used to bring large parties.
on Oct 6, 2007 at 4:01 pm
The place use to be ok, but now it sucks Chorizo, as do most of the "mainstream" Mesican food restaraunts in the Valley. Look, if your Chile Relleno comes out of a can and is not real, as in with a stem still on it and blister roasted ... you got robbed of your money.
And old "Haps" went "upscale" so that is another good place gone Yuppie ... you use to be able to have a simple meal and beer, then on weekends they'd push the tables out of the way and bring a local Country band to play and if people wanted to dance, you could ... now I get the feel that the place is meant for money makers.
The whole town is going Botique and gated community ... bike riders in their Euro-Fashion bike gear ... there was a time when it was more real.
Please, please "Past Time Pool" don't sell out !

NOTE: Each month we introduce you to an individual recognized for their volunteer efforts with a Jefferson Award. Unfortunately, our September award winner Carol Maslowski-- passed away august 10th.
The award selection committee felt Carol was a true example of the volunteer spirit.. and we are sharing her story through the words of those who knew here.
Tom Maslowski/husband:"I am going to miss her and I know everyone at the Lincoln Center will miss her too." Tom Maslowski loves sharing memories of wife who lost her two year battle with cancer last month.
Just about everyone who knew Carol called her "the silent angel" because volunteering was a way of life for her.. Reading in schools..and baking holiday treats through her church and community organizations.
Kathy Fandre/Holly Shoppe Manager:"She always had an ear to listen and just that kind of person that was always giving. Carol spent thousands of hours volunteering at the Holly Shoppe inside the Lincoln Center in Stevens Point. It's place where people with disabilities and seniors, sell arts and crafts. Many things made by carol, and donated to raise money for the center, still sit on the shelves.
Then there's her garden.. Where thousands of plants were planted.. Nurtured and then to benefit the Lincoln Center. Every step of the way she showed family and friends what it means to give selflessly. Tom:"It's important to give without expecting anything in return and to help out. "
A legacy which lives on through "the silent angel's" family and friends. Kathy:"She is looking out over our shoulders and we will carry on the torch for her."

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - Three Fort Campbell soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan.
The Department of Defense reported the deaths on Sunday of the servicemen, all assigned to the 4th Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, based at Fort Campbell, Ky.
The department identified the casualties as 26-year-old Staff Sgt. Octavio Herrera of Caldwell, Idaho.; 22-year-old Sgt. Jamar A. Hicks of Little Rock, Ark.; and 26-year-old Spc. Keith E. Grace Jr. of Baytown, Texas.
Herrera and Grace died in Paktia Province, Afghanistan, while Hicks was evacuated to Forward Operating Base Salerno in Khost, Afghanistan, and later died.
The soldiers died of wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked their unit with indirect fire.

Color Kinetics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CLRK) will further extend its reach in the white light market with new innovations set to debut at Light + Building, the world's largest lighting tradeshow, in Frankfurt, Germany, April 23-27 (Stand 4.1 E30).
Among the new offerings, the EssentialWhite™ series is a cost-effective product line designed to deliver the essential advantages of LED sources for common applications that don't require full intelligence. They apply Color Kinetics' LED technology, efficient LED drivers, mechanical and thermal engineering, optics and binning management– providing entry-level LED lighting solutions that meet specifier-grade standards.
"We believe there's substantial demand for white LED lighting systems that may not offer advanced control, but which otherwise meet customers' essential needs for performance, efficiency, and reduced maintenance in certain applications," says Bill Sims, president and CEO, Color Kinetics. "With the EssentialWhite series, we intend to satisfy this demand with familiar form factors and power requirements that easily conform to existing lighting environments. While we view the future of lighting as largely intelligent, EssentialWhite delivers the primary advantages of LED sources today."
Compared to their incandescent or halogen counterparts, EssentialWhite systems boast energy efficiency, long source life, durability, and lack of radiated heat and UV emission. They are therefore well suited for areas where conventional light sources are impractical, such as tight or heat-sensitive spaces, in harsh or vibration-prone environments, and where frequent maintenance and lamp replacement are undesirable. They are available in a range of fixed color temperatures to suit varying environments, such as cool sources to accent gallery exhibits or warm sources to light intimate restaurants.
The first EssentialWhite systems include eW Cove and MR. eW Cove is a dimmable, 12" (30.5 cm) or 6" (15.2 cm) linear system for common, medium-luminance alcove applications. eW MR is a compact lamp designed to retrofit into most standard MR16 fixtures and sockets.
The EssentialWhite systems are designed to suit architectural, hospitality, and retail applications, including cove and accent lighting, displays and exhibits, tracks, rails, cables and pendants.
Color Kinetics will also debut a prototype of its forthcoming recessed downlight for general illumination, comprising a replaceable ballast, interchangeable light module and multiple control options. It is designed to offer the output of a conventional 6" (15.2 cm) fixture in a significantly smaller aperture area, minimizing visual intrusion to the ceiling plane and reducing the required cavity height.
Color Kinetics will also showcase a range of its newly launched IntelliWhite™ systems and RGB systems at the show, demonstrating the dynamic customization of environments with sophisticated control.

Jay Bruce could have an MVP year. He really could. He'll be 27 next month. This will be his seventh big-league season. He's at the epicenter of his prime. It's time.
Bruce has had MVP stretches, weeks and months when the Reds rode him like Secretariat. He has had full seasons of MVP-quality defense. His arm is a game changer. The potential to be a special player is there, and up to now just out of reach.
It's strange to expect more from a player whose traditional power numbers have become as pleasantly consistent as the sunrise: Thirty-plus homers and doubles, 90-plus RBI. It's odd to suggest we're still waiting on Jay Bruce. Bruce has gotten a little better each year.
...He has embraced sabermetrics, to the extent they help him understand which numbers are important and which aren't worth the anxiety. "Sabermetrics value every facet of the game," he says. "They're more about being a total baseball player than a gaudy, counting-stats guy. I get caught in the middle of that a little bit, because gaudy stats define me in a way. But I believe I can still do that and maximize every other part of my game."
To Bruce, that means working pitching counts to his advantage, and not getting himself out swinging at pitches he wouldn't feed his dog. Actually, Bruce has done better with that as well. Reds statistics guru Sam Grossman offers this in Bruce's defense:
In the last three seasons, Bruce's "chase percentage" of pitches outside the strike zone has declined from 29 percent to 26 percent.
The league average is between 28 and 29 percent. Bruce "has pretty low chase numbers for a power hitter," Grossman says.
Another telling number: When Bruce fell behind in the count 0-2 or 1-2, and with the count even at 2-2, he batted .146 the previous two years, with a .250 slugging percentage. Both are abysmal. The league averages were .173 and .256, respectively. Plus, Bruce struck out 60 percent of the time in those situations. The league fanned 44 percent.

but to the original point, sure he could have a big season. jay bruce hitting .290/40/125 with defense on a 92 win team is a top mvp candidate.Especially since a guy who hits .290/40 might have 150 RBI hitting behind Votto (as long as BP isn't constantly making the 3rd out).
even with votto on the team given that the local press works so d8mn hard in telling everyone that votto stinksYeah, but that hasn't happened. Last year, with all of the talk of BP being the team MVP and Votto being too worried about walks, Votto finished 6th (about where he should have) in MVP voting and BP didn't get a single vote (about what he should have gotten). Votto also finished about where he should have in '11 (another 6th) and given he only had 111 GP in '12, no one can really complain about his lack of support that year.
Given the national voting of the awards, and the plethora of nationally-available information, I wonder how much local media really matters any more for opinion-shaping.
Yeah, they aren't really great comps.First, technically they are - if I remember correctly, any score over 900 is considered a good comp.

Frost-free freshness, the Samsung way.
Kiss routine defrosting chores goodbye! Besides keeping your food fresh, nutritious and looking delicious, no-frost technology means never having to worry about defrosting your refrigerator again, saving you tons of time and even more frustration. Fresher food and frustration-free maintenance are the chief benefits of Samsung's no-frost refrigerators. But no-frost technology also ensures no icy build-ups, so there's always more space for food. So just relax and let Samsung do the work for you.

Dems win Congress - then what?
by skeptic06, Fri Mar 10, 2006 at 06:46:26 AM EST
Let's suppose that the Dems take control of both houses this November.
Clearly, there will be no chance of passing much in the way of controversial legislation - a veto-proof majority is far away in the realms of fantasy!
And Bush will no doubt be happy to out-Truman Truman in the veto department.
So what about those investigations that the lefty sphere has been looking forward to?
Clearly, there's no way Bush is going to give the slightest bit of cooperation.
First, there'll be the coordinated campaign of delay. There'll be guys in the White House right now figuring out all the angles of low-level prevarication to run down the clock.
Eventually, the Dems will get tired of this and seek legal means to get the information they need.
At which time the White House will provoke a rolling constitutional crisis.
They have, for one, a SCOTUS which yielded Bush v Gore with the old team. And now they've installed Roberts and Alito, they've brought the bench a little further in their direction.
Of course, SCOTUS's first reaction is unlikely to be a Dred Scott (or Brown) II. Like the White House, their first resort will be to play for time. Bouncing cases back down to the DC Circuit Court. Finding as narrowly as they possibly can. Splitting hairs. The full Jarndyce v Jarndyce.
But the Dems will need them to rule decisively against the Bush regime.
And risk a SCOTUS/executive branch crisis. And why would they want to do that? Why would they want to goose the Dems? Because they think the Dems are going to have another 30 years like 1933-1969?
Meanwhile, back on the Hill, how are Pelosi and Reid holding up? Judge on their track record - the ethics truce, the Alito confirmation, the climbdown over the NSA investigation. Cojones 'R' Us? I don't think so.
Moreover, we have several leading 08 Dem contenders in the Senate (Clinton, Bayh, (by lefties) Feingold) who will be tested.
Not to mention McCain, who is not exactly persona grata with the Bushes. They'd relish some fun with him, too, I shouldn't wonder.
From the point of view of those Dem hopefuls, on the other hand, being seen to be trashing the office to which they aspire may not be something they're terribly keen on.
On the media front, the Rush/Fox onslaught will be continuous, enthusiastic, and ratings-driven. A virtuous circle where fanaticism feeds the bottom line which finances more Dem-baiting which leads to more fanaticism.
Happy Days Are Here Again for the VRWC.
And can you imagine how the Times and the Post will play it? So can I.
Meanwhile, Bush is still controlling the agenda. Who knows what Wag the Dog-style stunts he will pull? And you can bet he'll be enjoying every minute.
As the ratchet tightens, how are Dem supporters holding up? Won't there be just a wee bit of tension between the Kossacks screaming for a fight to the finish and the fainthearts (not all DLC by any means) calling for a truce?
And Pelosi and Reid? From almost total anonymity - how many in the Podunk branch of Wal-Mart would recognise them behind a trolley? - they go to Item #1 on the nightly news every night.
Month after month. No respite.
I leave open the possibility that they've both been playing a cunning game: like Prince Hal in Henry IV, pretending to be of weak character to lull their enemies into a state of false security. Only to reveal their true selves when the time is ripe.
I rate that possibility around the same as the Orioles winning the World Series this year.
What about impeachment? That's constitutional. And they could go on the evidence currently available. (They'll know they haven't got 67 votes for conviction. But so did Gingrich.)
[I wonder what happened to him...]
Perhaps they avoid the constitutional crisis. But the media storm will be the same.
Whichever way you slice it, we're looking at a wasted Congress and - more than likely - a return to the GOP trifecta in 08.
Or am I wrong? Please show me where!
And don't shout - the last thing I want is Bush of Arabia vindicated and easing the path for some other GOP to embrace world conquest and unlimited corporate welfare.
I just think we ought to be thinking ahead...

Updated Aug 12, 2011 - 8:46 am
First look at Cardinals D has me scared of the secondary
While many were anxiously awaiting a meaningless preseason football game just so they could get their first glimpse of Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb, I was one of the few that was not.
Sure, I wanted to see Kolb and the offense, but really, my focus in the first preseason game was going to be on the defense.
I've heard Ray Horton talk numerous times since February and I liked what he said each time.
Going into Thursday's game with the Oakland Raiders my expectations for Horton's defense were low.
Low in a sense that I wasn't expecting many (if any) blitzes, stunts, zones or specific packages. Instead I was ready for straight vanilla. I wanted to see the raw talent level, overall attitude and discipline from the defense.
What did Horton have to work with and what did he implement in a speed of light fast two weeks.
After all, once you get a quarterback, defense wins championships in the NFL.
What I saw, and it just kept glaring at me, was a weak secondary.
To be fair, this secondary lost Dominique Rodgers- Cromartie to a trade, Adrian Wilson is sidelined with an injury, Michael Adams is out with an injury, Matt Ware was just signed earlier this week and one of the (in my eyes) expected starters is rookie Patrick Peterson.
This group is learning and adjusting on the fly. Can they do it quick enough? I know the Carolina Panthers certainly won't be feeling sorry for them.
A.J Jefferson is no starting NFL cornerback. He's just not. I fully expect Peterson to be in that spot by Week 1 -- hopefully a lot sooner than that even. I'm not saying he's headed to the Pro Bowl, but he needs to show why he was selected No. 5 overall last April.
I don't care about the numbers. I went by the eye ball test. The men in black and silver were open time and time again -- and I mean Grand Canyon wide open.
The question I was left to ponder: will Horton's schemes, zones, blitzes, stunts and wrinkles be enough to help this secondary when the games count?
Time will tell.
TY's Outtakes
What I learned this week�
When you're on a keyboard as much as I am you think you
know a thing or two about keyboard shortcuts. Earlier this
week I was in a conversation while using our in-house
instant messaging system when all of a sudden I started
typing in
strikethrough. It
took me a solid 10 minutes and many guesses before I
finally went to Google. What did people do before Google?
I'm too young to know.
Tweet of the week�
Train wreck sports talk radio at its finest here w/ new Indiana football coach Kevin Wilson. A must-listen. http://t.co/qARzwtC
I'm ready for college football season to start. I think it's safe to say Indiana coach Kevin Wilson is too.
Suggestion of the week�
This is great speech by Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins. Biggest takeway for me was when he said this: "Privilege should lead to responsibility, in fact, greater responsibility."
I also have a few weird suggestions this week. You can watch them here and here.

The Giants placed restricted free-agent tenders on six players, including RB Ahmad Bradshaw, on Tuesday.
According to the New York Daily News, Bradshaw, DT Barry Cofield, TE Kevin Boss and DE Dave Tollefson received second-round tenders.
DE Mathias Kiwanuka and WR Steve Smith were also tendered. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Smith got a second-round tender, as well.
Along with what other teams have done, the Giants want to secure their rights to these players. It is unknown how many accrued years will be required to make a free agent unrestricted under the next Collective Bargaining Agreement.

I had found this on a list of top restaurants in vancouver and i would not agree that it should have been on that list. while ok, it was nothing great and none of the food was as expected or anything i would go back for. the server was phenomenal though!Special Features:
- Great fresh food!cmacDined on 8/9/2014We chose this restaurant for an anniversary dinner on the basis of good online reviews - it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and delicious; the service was good, as was the ambience. We shared a number of plates and all of them were very good or excellent. Amazing bruschetta and risotto. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food experienceMatenaDined on 7/26/2014Wonderful service Staff is very knowledgeable Wine list is awesome Love the wine flights Great food menu Will go back for sureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local and CreativeRichardDined on 7/25/2014We loved the unique ingredients, mostly all local. The pasta was outstanding. Watch out for the beef dish. Great flavor, but a little over-cooked for our tastes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pre-theatre findRenniePennieDined on 7/24/2014We were heading to the Orpheum and reserved a table at Cibo without any idea of what we'd experience. We received Good service, great recommendations by staff and delicious food. Portion sizes aren't big so it's easy to have three courses and not feel over full. Pasta dishes are a good bet for a single course if you're wanting a quick bite. The Chocolate Nemesis dessert was the highlight of my meal. I'll go back just for that with a cup of coffee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Satisfying and enjoyablefood4thoughtDined on 7/18/2014Tasteful décor, good ambiance, we were treated very well. Menu has local organic fare in season and daily homemade pasta. Four of us dined. Excellent mixed green salad with almonds and cherries. Organic beef, chicken and polenta tasty and satisfying. The only criticism was they didn't ask how we liked our entrées however we all loved them with the exception of our daughter who said the ravioli was a little short on the filling couldn't really taste the lemon and very a la dente. (she said to us later but still ate it) Desserts absolutely delish the beautifully light tiramisu with the touch of orange was the best I have ever tasted. Flourless chocolate torte was grand as well. A very enjoyable evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Successful Dining ExperienceRarelyinVcrDined on 6/29/2014The location was handy, the staff friendly and service very good. We enjoyed the pastas and desserts we selected.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The fabulous ciboOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014A 5/5 dining experience for all (excluding children, if only because they may not appreciate the menu). Cibo Vancouver combines outstanding service and a pleasant atmosphere to give you a personal and private dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LaceyLushDined on 6/26/2014We went for my husbands birthday. The food was some of the best restaurant food we have eaten in a long time! My husband says the chicken breast was the best he has even eaten, but it was a tad too salty. The fresh pea and fava bean bruschetta was amazing and so was the panna cotta! The sommelier was very helpful and chose a delicious bottle of wine for us to enjoy. It was a great night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/8/2014knowledgeable and attentive staff, great food & wine, excellent (& huge portion of) tiramisu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- too salty - rubbish serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/8/2014Only 2 staff members... took ages for drinks to come....food over salty and oily. If you have been to Italy and know what good Italian food tastes like don't go here...
- "Fair" food & service this timeDateNiteDivaDined on 6/7/2014Cibo is a great place for dinner prior to VSO concerts, so we usually book our reservation as soon as we purchase our concert tix. We've experienced great food & service, so we do keep coming back. But this past weekend (June 7) the restaurant fell down on both fronts. The service, I can somewhat forgive, since it seemed they were understaffed. Our stressed-out waiter did try to do his best. Due to time constraints we ordered the pre-theatre menu, but we both wished we had gone into the regular dinner menu. The chicken was good, but my hubby's "medium" steak was a bit too well done. The veggies weren't great either. The brodo was also too salty. Dessert, was the saving grace - but sadly not enough to save this dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- getting to be a favouriteJoewasthereVIPDined on 5/24/2014inventive cooking, nice trattoria atmosphere, pasta as good as I recently in RomeSpecial Features:
- Good for 2GhaukDined on 5/22/2014Out on a Tuesday night for a birthday. Awesome olives and bone marrow to start. Had delightful cocktails...a. Canary and an oracle... Very good and worth the money. Cod and skirt steak for an entree, cod was simple, tender, cooked perfect. Skirt steak was very flavourful, cook perfect as well. Would go again in a heartbeat. Great wine list too.Special Features:
- Quiet place for lunchAnnieDined on 5/21/2014Great place for a quick and relatively inexpensive business lunch. However, portions are small.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, not so good serviceAndreaDined on 5/16/2014I have been to Cibo several times. The food is always delicious, but the service is lacking too often. This is the third time in about a year that we've had disappointing service here. I'm not sure why the staff needed to double check our reservation after we were seated, but they seemed oddly concerned about it. Our server didn't apologize or offer a discount for spilling a drink. We also had to clean up the table and glass after she did a bad job mopping up the mess herself. On a better note, the duck was cooked perfectly, and the flavours were fantastic. I also love the bruschetta. We keep coming back for the food, but why can't the quality of the wait staff match the quality of the food?Special Features:
- CiboNopeDined on 5/12/2014Our time at Cibo was great! The food was great. Our server was less than adequate, and often quite rude. She knew the menu well, and warned us about the small portion sizes; however, we felt the portion size was perfect, but we can imagine how many American tourists must come in and expect giant servings. We all ordered pasta, and they were the perfect size to fill us up completely. The wine list was great; however, our server told us there were multiple California wines, yet there was only one to buy by the bottle. Cocktails were slightly over priced, for the small size I received. Our server rushed us out at the end, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Overall, we'd like to come back, but preferably with a different server.Special Features:
- Best dining experiencevninjaDined on 5/11/2014This was a Mother's Day dinner, booked at the last minute. We were pleased to have no trouble getting in, but had no idea what to expect. We need not have worried. The service was attentive without being overbearing and we didn't feel judged when we deviated from recommendations. And I cant say enough about the food; it was flavourful and beautifully presented. Three out of four courses were phenomenal and we left feeling extremely satisfied. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation to anyone desiring a superior dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a bit offpinkyparayVIPDined on 5/11/2014We were expecting Italian cuisine for a Mother's day lunch. However, all that was offered was an ordinary breakfast menu, with Italian black sausage being one of the few nods to Italy. Our server may have sensed our lack of enthusiasm, and quickly matched it with her level of service. When we were served the incorrect order, it was quickly replaced with the correct dish by the cook. Finally, we were told that the restaurant was unable to serve wine for another 45 minutes. We ate quickly and mechanically, and left without wine, feeling very flat and disappointed.
- Finally found it!ItsallaboutMEDined on 5/10/2014Nice, casual atmosphere in a small dining room. We've known of Cibo for years but finally had the opportunity to dine there. Appetizers and mains were all excellent. We had the duck breast - our waiter was kind enough to mention that there was only one left, when we sat down, so we snapped it up - and the pork. No room for dessert! This may be one of our new faves, since Raincity Grill seems to have slipped a notch or two.Special Features:
- Family Style..No ProblemNorth49981Dined on 5/10/2014I had the pleasure of visiting this gem of a restaurant right around the corner from my strata. My girlfriend and I were there with our 3 adult age nieces. I took one look at the menu and said, we should eat family style. Our server agreed and away we went. 3 apps, 2 pasta and 3 meats, 2 desserts, 5 coffees and 2 bottles of wine later, we had a great experience and meal. Pasta portions could have been a little larger considering what we were doing. But the service we received was top notch. Instead of walking by this little place, I will be walking in more often.Special Features:
- Sorely disappointedBumblebeeDined on 5/5/2014Staff was not aware we had made a reservation and had just given away our table. We had to share a table with another couple. First impression not good. Server came to take our drink order before I had a chance to settle in my seat but had to wait 20 minutes for them bring dessert. Food was way too salty and the portions were tiny and I'm not a big eater. I think I had a whole jar of olives in my pasta. Main course prices but tapas sized portions. There were only two servers and the restaurant was full. For a restaurant who bills itself as #1 preconcert restaurant they should have known there was a concert across the street and staffed accordingly. Would not go back
- The following 511 reviews are from the Cibo Trattoria reviews archive.
- Always greatBHAMSTERSVIPDined on 5/3/2014We have been here three times and each time is unique and a great meal is always served by professionals.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/3/2014Enjoyed the food, well presented and great staff. The location is good, especially for attending anything at the Orpheum.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappoints, always impressesLarryDDined on 5/1/2014Cibo is one of those restaurants where the consistency in service, food, and overall quality never falters. I had dinner with a friend who'd not been there in a couple of years and, had just finished a very stressful workday. At one point he said, "I'd forgotten how good this restaurant is. I can already feel myself unwinding and enjoying the evening."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 4/25/2014Great wine list, especially if you're a fan of Italian reds. And take Robert up on his wine suggestions, perfect choice (too bad we'll never find that one in the stores!!). A choice of bruschetta toppings, properly done pasta, great mains, and do save room for dessert. Try the Chocolate Nemesis (but it is your your friend) with the pastry who's name eludes me (the one that a doughnut hole aspires to be), and share them!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable evening at CiboMaryuDined on 4/25/2014We were looking for a place where we could enjoy a good conversation with an out of town guest. So many downtown restaurants Are so noisy! Cibo fit the bill: tasty food, relaxed atmosphere, very good service and a nice choice of background music that isn't intrusive. We'll be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ash1bDined on 4/22/2014The waiter was very unprofessional and a jerk. I would not recommend or return to this restaurant.
- Bad ExperienceFaizDined on 4/10/2014Took a client fro lunch. The service was very bad. The server told us the specials and once we decided that we want the special, told us that the kitchen had chnaged the specials. They didnt have regular coffee. I will never go back there again.
- I loved the food! I enjoyedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/6/2014I loved the food! I enjoyed the fireplace blazing in the background. The music was too loud, that's why I rated the ambience low.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Service, Creative FoodVirginiaDined on 4/5/2014A very nice small bistro. Excellent professional servers. The maitre 'd had some interesting wine suggestions. Crostini a must. Would also be great as a tapas with a drink. Pastas interesting and tasty. Lovely friendly setting. Five star experience.Special Features:
- Mixed BagOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/29/2014Food was excellent. Very good service in the restaurant. But... They were one hour behind on our reservation...so they sent us to the bar. Bar was too loud. Restaurant was loud as well for a time once we got out table. Manager said he was going to take care of us for the inconvenience, but didn't.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Underwhelming a second timeMellowDined on 3/28/2014Upon arriving at the mostly empty room the hostess took our name, found our reso then told us to pick any table. I pointed at a table in the back corner. She then paused & walked away. She returned to say 'that' table was reserved for a 'regular'. Well, I guess we can't pick 'any' table. She asked if we'd like to choose another.. "Just pick one' I said. Not a good start. The room is small and warm, & waitress was polite and professional. The food however, completely underwhelming. The burrata starter was on bland doughy bread. The pastas were good. Steak was mediocre. In a city with dozens of good italian restaurants... this one doesn't live up to the hype. And, that corner table was still empty when we left. I won't be back.
- Been twice, will def go for a thirdOmNomer30Dined on 3/21/2014Love love love. Great service, nice space - loved the fireplace! And the food is absolutely delicious. Unique dishes - not the same old stuff you see on every restaurant menu. Great flavours, local and seasonally inspired. Wait staff really knows how to recommend for taste and wine pairings. It's a perfect, personal dining experience. And if you're not into wine, they also have a great drink menu, lots of scotch and other spirits. Will definitely go again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- déjà vuRexy27Dined on 3/21/2014On Friday night I went to Cibo with my girlfriend for the second time. I was eager to try all the food I hadn't tried the first time. When we got into the restaurant we were immediately greeted and asked if they could take our coats, then we were offered a choice of tables. The place was rather busy at the time, and got busier throughout the night (that's a sign of a good restaurant) yet despite how busy it was our waitress took the time to carefully explain, and answer any of our endless questions about the menu, as the menu is written in a bled of Italian and restaurantese. The food was spectacular! As were the drinks (being under aged my selection was alittle limited, but adults will love it)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We thought the food and servicebob1Dined on 3/21/2014We thought the food and service very good, prices a little high. Main course could have done with another vegetable.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Shabby not chicBlackBonnieVIPDined on 3/21/2014Location is good and the menu has potential, but nothing hit the mark. Champagne flight was warm, and the food was marginal. The décor was very downtrodden and seemed a bit grubby.
- Great restaurant right at OrpheumAllieDined on 3/16/2014It's hard to find a restaurant that's really suitable for the theatre but this one fits the bill entirely. Aside from being kitty-corner to the theatre, it has a great range of small plates for either before or after an event. And it's attached to a hotel, so it keeps great hours. The food was excellent and the service very good. We'll be back! As the menu is very focussed on seasonality and being local, there's not much point in me going on about how good the duck pâté was. Nice selection of wines by the glass. We came on a typical rotten wet evening and the fireplace really warmed us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not theatre friendlyStoryzgalDined on 3/4/2014We were a party of 5 who selected Cibo based on a recommendation and proximity to The Orpheum. We were seated at a high top table with no hooks to hang purses and chairs that are not suitable to do so comfortably. The staff seemed rushed and stressed all evening. Two types if water were offered and the waiter never mentioned a two dollar charge for warm "still" water that tasted like tap water. Some of our table were missing cutlery, side plates and the bread was served dry with no oil & vinegar dip Coffee was never delivered Food is over priced for portion size Not an optimal dining experience for a restaurant so close to the theatre they were overwhelmed by the crowd as though never experiencing it before. Would not go back or reccomend

They weren't your run-of-the-mill ladies having a boisterous lunch at Mortimer's on Friday -- Anjelica Huston, Lorraine Bracco, Lyndall Hobbs, Joan Juliet Buck, Susanna Moore, Jean Pagliuso, Susan Forestal, Carol Kane and Patricia Duff. Afterward, several of them piled into Anjelica's limousine and headed over to Manolo Blahnik for a little shoe-shopping spree. The one foot fetish all the ladies indulged in -- whether they bought it or not -- was the new Lucite mule, or "the Cinderella shoe," as they called it.
Donna Karan may have flown in to be by her best friend's side in London, but that's not stopping Barbra Streisand from playing the fashion field. On Monday, John Galliano flew into London from Paris at Streisand's personal invitation. The designer was going to catch Streisand's show last night, then join the diva for afternoon tea today. Perhaps Barbra is looking to add a little drama to her fashion act. As everyone knows, drama is Galliano's specialty.

Cisco Virtual Office: Deploying IP Security High Availability
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
This white paper provides detailed design and implementation information for deploying IP Security (IPsec) High Availability (HA) with Cisco Virtual Office. IPSec HA provides an infrastructure for reliable and secure networks, with the goal of providing transparent availability of VPN gateways (such as Cisco IOS Software based routers). This feature works well for all IPSec-based networks. In the Cisco Virtual Office solution, IPsec HA can be used to provide redundancy - for example, stateful failover and rollback of the gateways - to provide uninterrupted management connectivity to the spokes. For more details on deploying Cisco Virtual Office, please refer to the links provided in the references section.
