Find and book great restaurantsFind a Restaurant
With a surge of summer openings and even more London restaurant launches in September, the capital's critics have been run off their feet trying to keep pace with the red-hot dining scene. Recently, the London Evening Standard's Fay Maschler fell head over heels for Smokehouse, The Observer's Jay Rayner wasn't wowed by Whyte & Brown, while Time Out couldn't make up its mind about Pizza Pilgrims. Find out how their verdicts compared to Square Meal's.
Summer has seen notable restaurants open not just in central London, but also in the capital's neighbourhoods and further afield. From three very different offerings in the shape of Oblix (pictured), Shake Shack and Picture, through wine and nibbles in East Dulwich's Toasted, to Manchester's latest grand launch, The French – London's critics chow down and deliver the verdict…
The past couple of months have proved that sometimes the nation's food critics reach a consensus about the capital's new restaurants. We've seen a lot of love for The Shed (pictured) and Gail's Kitchen, bafflement at Bodo's Schloss, and a collective shrug for Ten Room Lounge.
Autumn threw a fair few opinion-splitting restaurants diners' way. In contrast to Square Meal's experiences, The Observer's Jay Rayner was utterly unimpressed with Beard to Tail's menu and forced hipster attitude, and Time Out's Tania Ballantine was left cold by the hot dogs at Bubbledogs. However, a critical consensus was reached about three other newcomers: Brasserie Zédel, Chicken Shop and Duck & Waffle.

Square Meal readers dish the dirt on the London dining scene. Find out which dining experiences wowed London's foodies in summer 2012 (such as Ceviche, pictured), and which caused them to sharpen the knives...
March proved an interesting month on the London dining scene. Although small plates continue their reign, with two worthy additions in the form of 10 Greek Street and Ceviche, it's the restaurants doing something different that have caused a stir. First up, Dabbous' dishes (pictured) have been universally lauded by critics for their fresh flavours and simplicity. Elsewhere, Gregg Wallace's cack-handed 1970s' nostalgia trip took a pasting from the capital's critics.
More and more in the restaurant world, everyone who eats out is a critic – and an influential one at that. Readers have been leaving comments on squaremeal.co.uk for a number of years, not only to give others a solid base from which to make dining decisions, but also to tell us whether we've got it right or wrong. Find out which restaurants have wowed London's diners this quarter, and which have caused them to stick the knife in.
The New Year has seen London's critics hit the capital's restaurants with vigour, most of them opting for places offering simple concepts and no-nonsense food. High-end fast-food joint Burger & Lobster (pictured) gets the thumbs up from the Evening Standard's Fay Maschler, The Daily Telegraph's Zoe Williams bemoans the queues at trendy Meatliquor, while The Observer's Jay Rayner forgives Pitt Cue Co's no-reservations policy because the food is just so good.
Christmas is coming – but which restaurants were a gift to the UK's reviewers and which deserve a lump of coal? The Observer's Jay Rayner wasn't impressed with the new-look Rib Room, while the Evening Standard's Fay Maschler criticised Russell Norman for dropping the ball with the little details at Mishkin's. The 10 Cases fared better during a visit from Metro's Marina O'Loughlin, who didn't want to leave.
Big-name chefs have been busy with major London launches over the past couple of months. Gordon Ramsay's juggernaut Bread Street Kitchen (pictured) garnered praise from The Independent's Tracey MacLeod for its groovy vibe, while Casa Batavia drew scorn from The Times' Giles Coren – and Square Meal – for its budget choice of petits fours. Meanwhile, Fay Maschler's experience at Cut was sizzling, even if her steak wasn't.
July was a mainly positive month for London's restaurant critics. Time Out's Guy Dimond swooned over City slicker Chiswell Street Dining Rooms, the Evening Standard's David Sexton found Pizza East's second establishment worth the long trek down Portobello Road, and The Independent on Sunday's Lisa Markwell enjoyed Roganic despite the hefty bill. Only Joe's (pictured) and Rocksalt received ropier reports.
This month has been a stressful one for some of London's critics: Time Out's head honcho couldn't relax at rammed tapas bar José (pictured), while The Sunday Times' resident reviewer stressed over the sheer choice at Pollen Street Social. The Observer's Jay Rayner fared better at St John Hotel with an erotic custard tart, while Spuntino proved delicious for Zoe Williams of The Sunday Telegraph.
The last couple of months have seen a couple of big-ticket openings as well as local launches. Metro's Marina O'Loughlin reached nirvana by way of sherry bar Capote y Toros (pictured), while Nick Curtis from The Evening Standard considered sharing plates with a wry eye at Riding House Café. In other news, The Independent's John Walsh was underwhelmed by Bennett Oyster Bar, and The Observer's Jay Rayner expected more bang for his buck at The Savoy Grill.
More restaurant critics are beginning to break free of the confines of the M25, and generally, they like what they find. John Lanchester, writing in The Guardian, finds an 'insanely great gastropub' in The Sportsman, while the scallops at The Harrow at Little Bedwyn (pictured) get The Independent's John Walsh all emotional. However, The Sunday Times' London-loving AA Gill leaves Norfolk's Rose & Crown predictably underwhelmed.
London's food critics have been chasing each other around the capital's restaurants again. This month, Time Out's Guy Dimond echoes our opinion on the Fox & Grapes' dessert, while The Observer's Jay Rayner ponders the flimsy puddings at Chabrot, after raving about the rest of the menu. Meanwhile, Tracey MacLeod, in The Independent on Sunday, reveals to Ottolenghi's fans that Nopi (pictured) is no 'second coming'.
Were other critics' opinions on recent London restaurant openings in sync with the Square Meal taste barometer? This month, The Times' Giles Coren finds one dessert at Dinner 'soaked in angel's spit and spiked with the sugar of unicorn's horn', Metro's Marina O'Loughlin shrugs her shoulders at Brawn (pictured), Time Out rates Opera Tavern, AA Gill admonishes Les Deux Salons in The Sunday Times, and The Observer's Jay Rayner decrees North Road as close as one can get to Noma in the UK.

The students in Piedmont Academy's second-grade class have enjoyed having a blue tongue skink reptile as a class pet this year.And recently, the class visited eve more pets at Randar's Reptiles and Exotic Pets in McDonough for an exclusive, up close and behind the scenes look at each type of animal there. The store tour guides gave the class an opportunity to touch a 12-foot albino python snake, Bearded Dragon, Green Iguana and Urimastic lizards, as well as rabbits and guinea pigs. They were also given a tour of the "back room," where they observed the area where feeder mice, crickets, worms and breading birds are kept. The guides showed the students the shed from a tarantula and explained how the spiders shed as they grow and also took time with the students and gave them details of where each creature would live in the wild and what type of things they would eat.

Deadly crash
DALLAS -- Dallas fire officials said they're looking into how long it took for crews to arrive at a fiery car crash that killed two people early Friday morning.
Witnesses on the scene questioned the response time. The crash happened just off Central Expressway and Lemmon Avenue.
One of the victims was a graduate of Creekview High School in Carrollton. That school community was already dealing with the deaths of two students this year.
Now, they're mourning again.
Trey Pupenbroke, 19, is the third person with ties to Creekview High to die in the last month. He and the driver of the car, a former Newman-Smith High student, were killed when it burst into flames.
Dallas police say the gray Dodge Stratus driven by 25-year-old Joshua Armstead lost control, smashed into a wrought iron fence, and then hit a wooden utility pole. The car burst into flames, trapping Armstead and Pupenbroke.
Two other men were pulled out and taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. Dallas police tried to put out the fire with extinguishers.
One witness at a nearby apartment complex, who shot home video, questioned what took Dallas firefighters so long to arrive. "You guys have 100 police here without the fire department," a witness can be heard yelling in the video.
Dallas fire officials said they're looking into issues related to the route taken by their firefighters and the information they were given by dispatch.
Pupenbroke's death marks the third time Creekview high school is mourning a current or former student in the last two months. Kiet Nguyen, a football player, suddenly died last month. Another student committed suicide. Carrollton-Farmers Branch officials told News 8 they were already watching students closely, in case any of them needed to talk with counselors.
The latest death generated a swarm of tweets offering prayers and support for Creekview. One message said, "My prayers go out to the Creekview community as we lose yet another student. RIP Trey."
Dallas fire officials say they should know whether there were any problems regarding their response time by Monday.

Michael, who wears long hair because of his religious beliefs, applies for a job as a restaurant server. Alan, the manager, tells Michael that restaurant policy requires male servers to wear their hair short. Michael can have the job if he cuts his hair. Michael explains his religious belief and offers to wear his hair in a ponytail at work. If Michael refuses to cut his hair, can Alan decline to offer him the job?
Justin, a bank teller, recently added to his inside wrist a tattoo that reflects his religious beliefs. The tattoo is visible even when Justin wears a long-sleeve shirt. A few bank customers complain to Stacy, Justin's branch manager. Can Stacy respond by moving Justin to a different position that does not require interaction with the public? Can she fire him because some customers object to his appearance?
These are two examples of applicants or employees whose religious practices or observances are physically visible. Other cases involve employees or applicants who wear religious articles of clothing or who observe a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments that are required for the job.
Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits religious discrimination in the workplace. It requires employers to provide a "reasonable accommodation" to employees' religious beliefs and practices, which are broadly defined. Beliefs include any moral or spiritual beliefs that are held with the strength of a traditional religious view. Protected behavior includes "all aspects of religious observance and practice."
In recently revised guidelines, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reinforced its tough stance regarding employers' obligation to accommodate religious expression and appearance at work. The guidelines suggest that employers must accommodate members of newer "uncommon" religions, even those that lack any formal organization and are adhered to by only a small number of people. An employee's religious observance can be sincerely held even if it were recently adopted.
Customer preference will rarely be an acceptable defense. Employers cannot assume that accommodating an employee's religious practice will result in a loss of customers. They must show actual hardship. It is not clear whether an employer must actually lose customers to support a claim of undue hardship.
While courts are not obligated to follow EEOC guidelines, employers should err on the side of caution by providing accommodation if at all possible. In the restaurant example, the EEOC guidelines suggest that Alan should hire Michael. The same may be true of Justin, since a few customer complaints are not likely to justify an undue hardship.
All managers should be made aware of these new guidelines. Employers should review current policies regarding dress and grooming to be sure they provide adequate exceptions for religious beliefs. Communicating anti-harassment policies to all employees is advisable.
Finally, employers should analyze employee requests for religious accommodation with a qualified employment law attorney before turning them down.

(FOX19) - The Indiana State Senate is expected to vote Wednesday to approve the state's new Right-to-Work law.
If you've been following the Right-to-Work fight in Indiana, then you know there has been a lot of debate over what this kind of law means for a state's economy.
Governor Mitch Daniels has already said that he will sign it into law.
The question is do Right-to-Work states do better than so called "forced union" states?

A prominent figure in the Pakistani Taliban on Thursday questioned a decision by the group's leadership to remove him from his position of deputy commander over accusations he held unauthorized talks with the Pakistani government

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (AP) — Police say the brother of former 100-meter world champion Kim Collins has been shot to death by an officer on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts.
St. Kitts and Nevis Police Commissioner Celvin Walwyn said Friday that 40-year-old Winston C. Brown stabbed an officer in the knee, and the officer shot him.
Walwyn says police were called Tuesday morning because Brown was holding his wife and his sister hostage with a knife and an ice pick. Brown released his wife after stabbing and striking her, then lunged at the officer.
The officer has been placed on desk duty pending an investigation, but Walwyn called it a "clear-cut case of self-defense."
Brown was the older brother of the 36-year-old Collins, though they had different fathers. Collins has represented St. Kitts and Nevis in four Olympics.

Rishton woman admits driving away from petrol station without paying
Updated 3:42pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
A WOMAN drove off without paying after filling her car and jerry cans in the back with diesel worth £136 from a Great Harwood petrol station.
Blackburn magistrates heard that, shortly after, Susan Jones carried out a similar theft at a Blackburn station.
Jones, 41, of Bridge Street, Rishton, pleaded guilty to two charges of making off without payment, driving without insurance and other than in accordance with a licence.
She was made subject to community supervision for six months, a curfew between 6pm and 6am for six weeks and banned from driving for six months.
The magistrates also made an order for the destruction of the R registered Citroen Saxo she was driving.
David Hartley, prosecuting, said police discovered the car shortly after the second offence but the jerry cans were already empty.
Jonathan Taylor, defending, said Jones had significant financial problems at the time of the offences and had gone out with a man intending to raise some funds.
"The diesel was sold on very quickly," said Mr Taylor.

Embark...............This was the easiest and fastest embark ever. From the time we got out of the shuttle, to the time we got checked in 15 minutes. Then we had a about a 45 minute wait in the waiting room.
Ship............... The ship was clean and well maintained. Though it was a bit confusing finding our dining room. Once we learned our way around all was fine.
Itinerary.............We were suppose to go to Cozumel, Limon and Colon Panama. But due to the hurricane we went to Cozumel, Montego bay Jamaica and Grand Turk. Was not happy with the change in ports. But that is a chance you take when you book during hurricane season.
Excursion.......... Took the trolley tour in Grand Turk. It was a total waste of time and money. They pack you like sardines in a trolley train and you are almost sitting in the lap of the person facing you. Very tight fit. Driver spoke to fast and drove even faster.
Food....... While we never went hungry, I have noticed a decrease in the quality of food. Husband thought the frog legs and alligator fritters were great.
Disembark..........Was as easy as embark. Got off the ship at 6:55 am (we did self assist) went through customs and was back at the hotel by 7:10 am, on our way home by 7:15 am.

Area entrepreneurs believe it will be easier (and more profitable) to grow marijuana than to sell the weed.
In the first week of license applications to produce, process and sell marijuana under the terms of Initiative 502, most of the requests are to produce and process the plant. Only a small number of businesses have applied for a retail license.
In the production section, the Liquor Control Board has received 47 applications from Spokane County business looking to secure a license. A couple of the applicants, including BOS on Pike Road, Mountain Goat Industries on Monroe Road and Evergreen Extracts on Swenson Road, list Deer Park addresses.
Five applicants list Stevens County addresses, including Savage THC on Marcum Road in Clayton.
Five businesses in Pend Oreille County have applied for a producer's license.
The Liquor Control Board has received 33 applicants from Spokane County businesses seeking a processor's license, including Evergreen Extracts and Mountain Goat Industries.
A business can hold a producer and processing license simultaneously.
Only three Stevens County businesses have applied for a processor's license, including Savage THC.
E&B Growers in Usk is the only Pend Oreille County business seeking a processor's license.
As for retail license requests, six applications have been received from Spokane County, all from businesses in the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley.
No applications have been received from Stevens and Pend Oreille County businesses.
The Liquor Control Board has set aside 18 retail licenses for Spokane County, four for Stevens County and two for Pend Oreille County.
A retail licensee cannot also hold a producer or processer license.
The state will not accept any applications relating to I-502 after Dec. 19.

Disfunctional Family Day by Karen McMullen - over 1 year ago
"As a treat my sister and I decided to take the family to canobie lake park, in NH for a day of fun, but in order for us to find everyone once we were there we thought it would be a good idea to get shirts made for everyone. The front said DFD 2012 and the back had those stick figures of all of us. We received so many comments and questions about what DFD meant. The reactions were priceless when we told them what it actually ment. Loved the shirts"

You can read all about it and view the photos here.
Today I wanted to share with you how easy it can be to add a little curb appeal to your home by creating a House Number Sign.
I have curated this collection for Hometalk and you can find my Hometalk Profile here and my curated board here. Hometalk is a fantastic site where you can browse thousands of home and garden posts all in one place. It's a very informative site, you can easily search for what you may be looking for and why not join Hometalk while you're there!
Here's a closer look at all of those wonderful House Number Ideas.
This collection certainly gets me in the mood to go outside and see what else I can do to add to my curb appeal – maybe there's a trip to the garden centre in my near future…perhaps today!
Don't forget to pop back later this evening for my link party, Make the Scene Monday,
I am looking forward to seeing what you have been creating lately!

After 'Public Option' Setback, New Reform Strategy Needed
August 18
9:50 am

The Obama administration has delivered multiple signals of surrender on the 'public option' front, one of the most popular provisions in the Democrats' healthcare reform efforts. Ninety percent of rank and file Democrats support a government-backed public health insurance option.
This capitulation to the power of for-profit insurers (and their loyal, well-financed chorus of Blue Dogs in the House and conservative Democrats in the Senate) is yet another illustration of how the insurance and drug companies have outgrown the constraints of democracy.
As Franklin Delano Roosevelt observed in 1933, "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself."
The notion of a relatively strong public option based on Medicare was tossed overboard a while back in the Senate. It now seems very hard to envision how Democrats can regain the momentum to re-insert a Medicare-based public option in place of 50 scrawny state-based "co-ops."
Progressives in and around labor are reacting with fury, vowing a major fight when Congress returns, but the Obama Administration seems to have already decided on its course. It will take enormous pressure to turn this aircraft carrier around.
Moreover, if the public option were maintained in its present form—shrunken down to a set of nonprofit co-ops—its inclusion in the final reform bill would only serve to discredit a strong public role in healthcare. As Minnesota writer and activist Kip Sullivan points out, there is simply no way that 50 separate health co-ops—most likely operated by insurers—could crack into already monopolized markets of doctors and hospitals. The GAO has also concluded that co-ops would lack the power to serve as a measuring stick to keep for-profit insurers in line.
Many liberals, including presidential primary candidate John Edwards, had explicitly seen the public option—up until this point—as a kind of potential incubator for an eventual single-payer system, as citizens naturally gravitated toward a Medicare-style system that delivered with absolute certainty a full menu of choices of providers and hospitals and needed care. Meanwhile, other progressives in the Physicians for a National Health Care Plan have been convinced that the public option is no substitute for a "Medicare for all" (single-payer) system, and that insurers would use the public option as a dumping ground for older and sicker patients.
Neither scenario seems remotely likely at this point. Senate Democrats like Evan Bayh, Kent Conrad, Blanche Lincoln and others have made clear their opposition to any vigorous public option, and intend to limit it to a pathetic 10 million patients by 2019. This means that the public option—particularly if it stays in its pathetic "co-op" form—will be far too tiny to exert any influence on the private insurers. Further, these co-ops seem likely to wither on the vine from an inability to line up doctors and hospitals, so they may be too insignificant for insurers to use as a dumping ground.
The AFL-CIO's John Sweeney, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Howard Dean, among others, plan to launch a major fight to revive a strong public option. But can they move Barack Obama to twist the arms of the Blue Dogs, Max Baucus, and Evan Bayh, when Obama has never laid down explicit policy principles? With Obama never drawing a line in the sand on the public option up until now, how probable is a sudden turn toward confrontation with conservative leaders of his own party in Congress?
If Obama cannot be moved far enough or fast enough, it may make sense to jettison the now-worthless public option (as it stands at this moment) and strip the Democrats' final healthcare plan down to its most vital elements. These would be aimed at providing immediate, tangible improvements in the lives of Americans and in preventing the emergence of even more powerful insurance and drug industries.
Given the disappointing capitulation on the public option, the most vital reforms (which would of course also incorporate a public option if progressives can succeed in reinstating a vigorous, Medicare-based version) would include:
- 1) Health coverage for all Americans. The noxious notion of an individual mandate to buy private insurance, as has occurred in Massachusetts, is circulating in Democratic bills. A much better solution would be to extend Medicaid to cover all low-income Americans.
- 2) Generous subsidies so that the new universal health plan covers middle-income Americans. It is politically imperative that the Democrats' health plan extend help to the middle class to pay premiums. If conservative Democrats in Congress continue along their present path— so that middle-class families pay as much as 35 percent of their total health costs, the final health plan will be all too easy for the Republicans to brand it as a program bleeding the middle class to take care of the poor.
- 3) Focus on effective regulation of the insurance and drug industries. For the insurers, this would entail not only setting up a regulatory apparatus to effectively monitor their most despicable practices like using pre-existing conditions and "rescission" to deny or nullify insurance politics, but also banning further consolidation of the industry so that it can no longer metastasize in economic reach and political clout.
If we ever hope to renew the fight for fundamental healthcare reform that eliminates the utterly parasitic insurers and controls drug corporation greed, the last thing we can permit in this round of reform is the further expansion and fortification of these two industries. Thus, it should be critical for Democrats to insert provisions blocking further mergers and prohibiting monopolistic practices.
What progressives need to do, according to Harvard government Prof. Theda Skocpol (whose book Boomerang superbly dissects the 1992-94 healthcare battle) told In These Times, is to begin thinking now on how to strategically set up the healthcare fights of the future on favorable terrain.
Rather than battling over some symbolic feature, it is vital to ensure that this fight is about the expansion of regulations that have fallen short in curbing insurer and drug company conduct. Thus, Skocpol's approach suggests that progressives must point out the limitations of the final bill in order to predict future problems and prepare the public for battles over much stronger reforms down the road.

Often overlooked 5 pitch, mixed face and crack route (mostly continuous steep slab climbing on the face just right of the Moratorium). Beautiful Climb!
Wow, I was just looking over at this beauty a couple days ago. Polished golden granite...bolts don't look horribly far apart....got anything more to add on this one?
Rob-If you like steep slab it does not get any better. I have been on it and found every pitch unique, hard on fantastic granite. I believe the topo is in the last Yosemite guide. I did find a few sections to be a little stretched out- right at my comfort zone. But nowhere did it seem unsafe to me. There is a pin protecting the 10c crux on the 1st pitch that had me a little worried but it did look sound. I wish a bolt had been placed there instead.
Thanks for posting this Keith. I was looking at this and 'Golden Years' in my Reid guide and was thinking about giving them a go. I do have a question though. What generation are the bolts on this thing? I believe 'Burden' went up in 1990 which means it could have reasonable or sorta sketchy hardware (i.e. is it old school SMC stuff or...) Any info you have would be welcome. Cheers. EDIT: Thanks for the reply Keith!!
Just got your question J. Albers. Both routes have Metolius Bolt hangers. They also have 3/8 inch, with what look like, expansion bolts - wedge anchor type because they have nuts. I felt very safe with the anchoring. Well thought out belay locations too.

Toledo Police and Toledo Public Schools say a Bowsher High School student was approached and offered a ride home by a suspicious individual Monday.
Police say the 14-year-old student was walking home when the man followed her for a few blocks before asking if she needed a ride home. The girl said no, and ran to her aunt's house, police said.
The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20's with brown hair. Police say he was driving a dark blue older model car and wearing a blue coat.
TPS says the incident happened sometime in the afternoon. Students are on an altered schedule because Ohio Graduation Testing is being conducted this week. TPS says the girl was likely dismissed sometime between 11:30 a.m. and noon.
TPS says Bowsher parents have been notified of the incident, along with parents of students who attend elementary schools in the area.
School officials stressed the importance of students walking to and from school in groups after the incident.

It's been a long time since some young fighter amazed me, but hell....Danny Garcia did it.
Although Morales is on a clear decline and should retire before they fine and ban his ass from boxing. (No disrespect intended, hes still ERIK MORALES), I liked Garcia in that fight. Especially that thunderous LEFT.
Khan has some holes in his arsenal...and I think these won't be filled any time soon even with the guidance of Hunter, but he is a game and technically sound fighter with potential (damn, saying that hurts), Garcia still taxed his ass, clocked him with another left, kept calm while Khan was break dancin' all over the freaking squared circle and still managed to put up a meassured and humble interview afterwards.
What I am trying to say is, I really like the kid. He is not over the top cocky, got some skills (needs to improve some things of course), has nice amateur resume, PHILLY represent, he can fight, he can talk...I hope he stays on top of the world for a loooong time. Not a P4P material, but makes a good champ in my eyes.
Thoughts ?

I think Borner would outbox the hell out of him. Mismatch in my eyes.
Anyways, I know he is still untested and needs to fight better opposition than Morales, but my point is...what a champ.

Stigma is when someone judges you based on a personal trait. Unfortunately, this is a common experience for people who have a mental health condition. Stigma may be obvious and direct, such as someone making a negative remark about your mental illness or your treatment. Or it may be subtle, such as someone assuming you could be unstable, violent or dangerous because you have a mental health condition. You may even judge yourself. Some of the harmful effects of stigma can include:
Here are some ways you can deal with stigma:
Others' judgments almost always stem from a lack of understanding rather than information based on the facts. Learning to accept your condition and recognize what you need to do to treat it, seeking support, and helping educate others can make a big difference.

Lon Babby: Suns' good draft pick isn't going anywhere
Originally published: Jan 17, 2013 - 11:16 am
At 13-27 and 8.5 games out of the Western Conference's final playoff spot, the Suns have been anything but, at least as far as their record is concerned.
So from here the team's goals -- at least for this season -- may have changed a bit. Early this week head coach Alvin Gentry said the team is on the verge of a "youth movement", meaning the team's sights may already be set on the future.
Which, if things continue on their current course, will feature many draft picks -- including at least one high lottery selection.
"I'm steadfast," Babby told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf about his desire to hold onto the team's picks. "That's not to say we wouldn't move them in extraordinary circumstances, but it would have to be very extraordinary circumstances because that's going to be the lifeblood of how we get better."
Babby's approach differs from the one the team took in the mid 2000s, as they went through a four-year stretch of not keeping any of their first round selections. Those decisions came at a time when the team was among the NBA's best, but likely helped lead to it becoming one of its worst.
So Babby's approach, while necessary, is also somewhat refreshing. Sure, he wants the team to win now, but understands it's not worth sacrificing the future for.
"Our eyes were always on the future and the future was going to be by accumulating these draft choices, which we did last summer, and we'll try to continue to do," he said. "And now that we have them and now that, really, as disappointing as this season has been so far, the sliver lining is that our draft choice may become that much more valuable."
As of now the Suns have the fourth-worst record in the league. Though the NBA's lottery system would not guarantee a top-five choice for the team, chances are good they'll be picking higher than they have since they made the seventh choice in the 1988 draft.
And as Babby tells it, the Suns fully intend on making that choice for themselves.

Facebook Upgrade Raises Questions About Network Favoring Liberal Groups
A software upgrade at Facebook has some conservative groups worried that their hard-earned followings might be rendered useless. The upgrade will "archive" all existing Facebook groups, thereby revoking administrators' access to member lists, unless they receive an exemption from Facebook (and the accompanying software).
The company has not revealed how groups are being chosen for these exemptions, but a number of prominent conservative groups recently told the Daily Caller that they had not received one, and feared they wouldn't. Losing access to member lists would remove key functionality, as administrators would no longer be able to contact group members en masse (Facebook "pages" will not be affected).
Facebook insisted in a statement that the company "determined what groups to archive based on a number of factors, including the amount of recent activity."But a quick look at a few of the groups that did and did not get these exemptions demonstrates that neither activity nor group size was the overriding factor. Indeed, plenty of conservative-leaning political groups with active memberships are still waiting on the software given to smaller, far less active liberal-leaning groups.
Concerns about political favoritism are no doubt rooted in a recognition that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the company he runs both have liberal political streaks. Zuckerberg has publicly declared himself an Obama supporter. Chris Hedges, one of the site's co-founders, managed the Obama campaign's online organizing.
The Daily Caller reported Tuesday on some of the groups that have and have not recceived the software that will keep their groups functional:
"Who is being given the upgrade?" asked Pamela Geller, the New York organizer of a 15,000-member group opposed to Islamist political groups. Without the special key, groups lose access to their members, she said. "I've seen people really freaking out."...
Geller's "Stop Islamization of America" group has 15,062 members, but no upgrade-key, she said. If Facebook archives her group without allowing her to reach its members, she'll have to rebuild the group from scratch, one e-mail at a time, she said. "I can't just sit down and write a message to 15,000 members," she said. "Why not just give us the upgrade option?"
"The Coalition to Save Marriage in New York" is a group of 1,163 social-conservatives seeking to preserve traditional marriage's role as an institution for parents and child-rearing. The group has been very active this year trying to derail a gay-marriage push in the state assembly, but the group doesn't have the upgrade, said the group's administrator, Jason McGuire in Rochester, N.Y. "Nobody else that I know got one," he said. "You do have to wonder if Facebook is leaning towards liberal positions, instead of being on open format," he said.
Chicago libertarian activist Eric Odom has built an active 60,000-member group, but is not being offered an upgrade key.
While these conservative groups are still anxiously awaiting their exemptions to this new software upgrade, other left-leaning groups - in many cases considerably smaller than the ones listed above - have received the required software with little trouble.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence got the upgrade for its 1,000-member group. "We changed over very smoothly," said David Churchill, the network-manager at the D.C.-based gun-control group. "We just basically clicked the upgrade button, checked it over, and we have a tremendous increase in participation," he said.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's "GLAAD open group" also got an upgrade for its 300 members. The group's administrator did not respond to TheDC's emails.
The "Labor Express Radio" group also got the upgrade after its 104 members post on the site to demonstrate their activity. The group was established by "Chicago's only English language labor news and current affairs radio program… [it] addresses issues of concern to working people such as housing, education, health care, immigrants rights, the environment and U.S. foreign policy."
There is no evidence as yet that political considerations have played any part in Facebook's decisions. But the process's opacity, the political identities of the groups above, and Facebook's history of supporting liberal political causes is reason enough to stay mindful of the possibility.

Does Facebook put advertisements on their pages, related to the content like other sites do? Wonder what kind of switches, belts, and hoses are being presented so that the "likes" can do their on-line shopping?
And I wonder if they're demanding that their wives do the actual purchasing?
But I saw some of the comments related to this story. One commentor said "It's not the religion that's demanding this -- it's their Government who are making the laws". Which shows how well our politicians and media have done in hiding the truth about islam -- the religion and government are intertwined. There is no way to separate them. It's not all about religion, folks. You need to become better educated on this.

Facebook Jihad? Is Facebook Caving in to Islamists?
Submitted by upcountrywater on Wed, 05/25/2011 - 12:56pm.
Unless you are a Martian or a chimp living in the bushes, cut off from all the news, you must know by now that Islam is waging jihad against mankind and the goal of the Islamists is to take over the world.
However, with no warning and no explanation Facebook deactivated my account. When I enquired, they said they wanted to make sure I am who I claim to be. I assured them that I am and showed them my site. Then they asked me something that surprised me. They asked me to email them a government certified copy of my ID. Now, I know for certainty that Facebook is not asking all the millions of people using their site for a government certified ID. So why they are asking me something they usually don't ask anyone else?
Why they need this information? We know that the owener of Facebook is an Obama supporter. It is expected for him to surround himself with people like those surrounding Obama – a bunch of marxists and Islamists.

Liberal leaning?
Submitted by ThisnThat on Wed, 05/25/2011 - 12:20pm.
I don't know anything about Facebook -- never have used it; never will. So I have no experience with what's going on there, but I believe it, for sure.
I just wanted to point out a very good observation Krauthammer made on BOR's show last night. Apparently data has been compiled that shows that Fox News treated obama and McCain equally during the 2008 campaign. Each candidate received 50-50 shares of negative and positive criticism/reports. The data also shows CNN favored obama by 3-1; and MSNBC favored obama by 5-1.
But here's the kicker -- CNN reported this, and claimed that they -- CNN -- took the middle ground. And then they said that Fox News was on one extreme -- and MSNBC was on the other extreme.
And that's the kind of blatant lies that CNN peddles all day long. And no one calls them on it. So the sheeple are not only uninformed -- they are misinformed by "the most trusted outlet in Cable news".
So my question is -- will the newly installed White-House Goebbels propaganda minister come after CNN on this -- or will he instead attack Fox News for saying the data shows they are the fairest when it comes to reporting?

... I hate to say it, but they're a private company. It's their right to alienate a significant segment of members. They might want to run the idea by their advertisers, though. Or ask the remaining liberal members if they wouldn't mind starting to pay for membership. Look at what's happened to many newspapers whose news and opinion sections have blurred.

Some bar owners in Montgomery are fired up after they say the city increased a liquor tax and didn't give any notice.
Mayor Todd Strange apologized Tuesday night saying the bar owners should have gotten a 30-day notice and now he's changing the effective date.
The tax is increasing from 5 percent to 15 percent. The tax went into effect Jan. 1, but the mayor says the date has now been pushed back to Feb 1.
Bar owners say the increase not only takes from their bottom line, but the cost has to be passed on to the customer.
Many Montgomery bar owners went to the city council meeting Tuesday to find out why they weren't notified before the increase. The owner of 1048 Jazz and Blues in Cloverdale, Doug Gurney, says he got the notice Tuesday that the tax increase went into effect Jan. 1.
"The reality is it's a lot of money. If you buy $5,000 a month worth of liquor, you would pay $250 at 5 percent now we'll be paying $750. That's $6,000 a year that has to come from somewhere," Gurney said.
David Hudson, a bartender at 1048, says customers will notice the increase.
"All of our well liquor stands at $4.75 for Vodka, Bourbon, Gin, etc and so it's actually going to jump us about 50 cents across the board; your well goes up to $5.25," Hudson said.
Mayor Strange says there will be meeting with bar owners to get the facts from revenue and finance officials. He wants to make it clear that this increase is just on alcohol. He said the increase is comparable to nearby cities such as Prattville, Birmingham and Huntsville.
"If you only get a 10 percent increase over 43 years that sounds pretty good to me," Strange said.
