NFC East Spin Cycle: Week Five
The Giants gained ground in the NFC East race as the Redskins (who lost a QB) and Eagles (who might change QBs) fell in close games.
The New York Giants signed defensive back Terrell Thomas on Monday. Thomas, who has battled injuries throughout his career, has not played in a regular-season game since Jan. 2, 2011, the finale of the 2010 season. Thomas missed 2011 and 2012 after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.||||||| It is possible that Thomas, a cornerback, will switch to safety next season, a move that might be easier on his knees. Thomas was a second-round draft choice by New York in 2008 out of Southern Cal, and started every game in 2009 and 2010. He led the Giants in tackles, interceptions and passes defensed each season. The Giants went 9-7 last season, but failed to make the playoffs. Their defense allowed 344 points.
Speaking to the media for the first time since "aggravating" his surgically repaired right anterior cruciate ligament, Thomas said Tuesday he might need anywhere from three to eight weeks before he is ready to get back on the field.||||||| With the season opener against Dallas just under a month away, Thomas could be one of the first players to benefit from the NFL's new rules on injured reserve, which will allow a team to place one player on that list after the 53-man roster is decided, then bring him back later in the season.
After getting a third opinion, Thomas is going to try to rehabilitate his injured right knee rather than have more surgery.||||||| Thomas saw noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews on Monday and he concurred with the advice that the five-year veteran received from Dr. Arthur Ting in California and the Giants medical staff on how to approach the injury. Thomas missed last season after having surgery to repair his right anterior cruciate ligament. He experienced swelling in the knee a week ago Sunday and there was concern that his career was in jeopardy after his third ACL injury.
Thomas has re-injured his surgically repaired right knee and his status for the New York Giants' season is uncertain.||||||| Thomas was sent to the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York Monday after reporting that he had swelling in his right knee. An MRI and an examination by Dr. Russell Warren, the team orthopedic surgeon, showed that the five-year veteran suffered another injury to the knee involving the ACL. He tore his ACL for the second time in a preseason game last season and missed the Giants' Super Bowl season. He slipped in practice on Sunday covering receiver Domenik Hixon.
Thomas has re-signed with the Super Bowl-champion New York Giants.||||||| Thomas, who missed last season with a knee injury, tweeted that he will be back with the team Tuesday, hours before free agency started. The 27-year-old Thomas was injured in a preseason game. He had five interceptions in 2010.

Hey, Mr. D.J., Follow Those Rock Star Dreams
By MELENA RYZIK
Published: July 10, 2007
On Sunday afternoon at McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Mark Ronson did his usual thing: he brought his laptop and some records and D.J.ed a party.
But he was nervous. ''I don't know if I'm a big draw around these parts,'' he said from the V.I.P. area before the show, surveying the 1980s-fashion-loving hipsters. ''My crowd doesn't wear the funny-colored sunglasses.''
At first audience members -- indie rock fans who turn up in droves for weekly concerts at the pool -- were more interested in taking photos of him than dancing. (This was especially true of the row of young women who seem to hug the stage at his every show.)
But about halfway into his 30-minute set, as Mr. Ronson, in his standard garb -- spotless white shirt, skinny jeans, scuffed Fred Perry sneakers, bedhead -- spun old-school hip-hop and new hits, people began to move. By the time he played ''Stop Me,'' a song from his new album, the crowd was singing along.
Tomorrow night, at the Highline Ballroom in Chelsea, he will try to repeat that effect, with a twist: a real, live band.
Having to win over a crowd is new for Mr. Ronson, 31. For nearly a decade he has been an It D.J. of the fashion and media world, spinning a dance-floor-friendly mix of hip-hop and rock for Tommy Hilfiger parties, movie premieres and boutique openings.
Once a Hilfiger model himself, he lived the glitz, too, hanging with Diddy and Jay-Z and dating models and society types. Last year he might have reached the apotheosis of celebrity D.J.-dom when he spun at the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, held in an Italian castle.
But lately Mr. Ronson has been reaching for new heights, as a producer and solo artist. He worked with Lily Allen on ''Littlest Things'' from her popular debut, ''Alright, Still,'' and helmed six of the songs on Amy Winehouse's hit album ''Back to Black.'' They feature what could be described as the emerging Ronson sound: old-school black music (Motown or reggae or funk) meets new-school black music (hip-hop beats and rhymes) meets retro Brit-pop.
''Version,'' his second album, is out today on RCA/Allido. In Britain, where the CD was released in April, ''Stop Me,'' a cover of the Smiths' ''Stop Me if You Think You've Heard This One Before,'' rose to No. 2 on the singles Top 40 chart. A few weeks ago 8,000 fans danced and sang along as Mr. Ronson played with his 12-piece band at the Glastonbury music festival in Somerset, England. Could this rock star D.J. actually become a rock star?
He certainly hopes so. ''I don't want to be D.J.ing when I'm 40,'' he said in an interview at the SoHo office of his record company, Allido. ''It's always been more important to make my own music.''
And now he is, sort of: ''Version'' is an album of covers, with songs by the likes of Britney Spears, Radiohead and Coldplay refashioned with the Ronson sound and sung by guest vocalists including Robbie Williams, Ms. Allen and Ms. Winehouse. Mr. Ronson doesn't sing (much), but he plays some of the instruments: keyboards, bass, guitar and drums, a few of which he tackles onstage.
''I always joke that I would be fired if it wasn't my band, because I'm the least virtuosic member,'' he said in his chummy trans-Atlantic accent. His demeanor is equal parts urban private school entitlement and Woody Allen self-deprecation; he was born in London and moved to the Upper West Side when he was 8. He now lives downtown with his girlfriend, Cosi Theodoli-Braschi, an artist, and a pampered mutt, Maude.
He retains some party-boy traits -- ''I don't do anything of any value until after, like, 4:30, 5 o'clock'' in the afternoon, he said, stirring a cup of tea with a pen -- but he is a fastidious, hard worker. At 13, he invented a post as a rock critic for a school paper so he could troll downtown clubs with the approval of his mother, the party page fixture Ann Dexter-Jones. Four years ago he started Allido with a partner, Rich Kleiman.
Despite occasionally collaborating with pop stars like Christina Aguilera (''Hurt''), his ambition is to develop new artists. ''They're so excited about discovering their sound for the first time,'' he said. ''That's quite intoxicating.''
His finds for Allido include Daniel Merriweather, an Australian singer who does the soul-like vocals on ''Stop Me,'' and Wale, a Washington rapper; both are touring with him. ''He's always had this sort of art-first approach to everything he does,'' Mr. Merriweather said. ''You never feel like you're making music for any other reason.''
Despite his well-connected musical provenance -- he's the son of Laurence Ronson, a Mick Jagger buddy and real-estate entrepreneur, and a stepson of Mick Jones, the Foreigner guitarist -- Mr. Ronson struggled to break out on his own artistically. His first album, ''Here Comes the Fuzz'' (2003), full of star-studded hip-hop remixes, tanked in the United States; his first producing effort, the funk singer Nikka Costa's ''Everybody Got Their Something'' (2001), had disappointing sales. And transitioning from buzzy D.J. to unknown label-founder proved difficult.

Pro-test in protest
LAST week Monday, while students of the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus sat preparing for the nerve-racking experience of exams, they were greeted by an unpleasant surprise.
What was to be a peaceful protest soon escalated into a storming of the castle with some disgruntled students disturbing the examination process under the tent.
The wailing for justice stemmed from students being barred from exams and the online services that teachers to use post notes for the non-payment or outstanding payment of school fees.
The controversial nature of the students' action was that multiple exams had to be rescheduled. That also potentially affected some of the students' studying schedule to travel arrangements for those who are international students.
TEENage would like to tackle this issue from the perspective that there needs to be an improved relationship between students and the administration of the UWI.
The inability to pay one's school fee is not a new phenomenon as tertiary education in Jamaica comes with high expense, but is expected to reap maximum benefits.
The Students' Loan Bureau along with other financial schemes and scholarships are set in place to alleviate the situation.
However, like with most things, there are criteria that restricts the number of students who can benefit from this assistance.
As was previously discussed, the burning issue behind this protest was the fact that students who had partially/not paid for their school fees were not allowed to access the online education systems, vote in guild elections and more importantly sit their exams.
From the University's perspective, one can understand that this measure was a pre-emptive strike against the lack of payment coupled with the lack of communication on the students' part as to what plan has been put in place to pay the fees.
From the students' perspective, some have exclaimed that they are owing a small amount and succumbing to the same fate as those who owe more or who have not paid at all.
Also the incongruence of information received from the administration has left several students reeling for answers.
The basic argument put forward is that education is like any other service, that you should have to pay for in order to enjoy. Furthermore, not being chastised outrightly for having not paid the fees should not be taken as a sign to not take it seriously. This could reasonably have been the reason for the University going for the jugular and cutting off the student lifeline since in retrospect not paying school fee does that to the University.
The escalated protest was not the proper means to get the message across. The solution rests with priority and communication and standardising a system that seems to be riddled with discrepancies. Students, make it your responsibility and not just that of your parents and guardians to secure the financial means to receive an education.
Also make it your duty to be informed and to be on top of the options provided by the university and the requisite means to get assistance. If you are not satisfied with the system ensure that you lodge a formal complaint and monitor it but ensure that you are not at fault and you are exercising your right to be informed.

Ghent, Belgium
August turned my backyard into the Savannah. My brother's cats suddenly think they are called Simba and Nala and that they have to hunt every pheasant that traverses their kingdom.
I tried to blend in as much as possible with this safari-top, and I sincerely hope that King Simba will not eat me…
The pattern is from Knipmode 05/2011, Zomers Tricot special, Top 101. The fabric is something I found on a fabric fair last year.
I made it more than a year ago, and I wore it a lot, so unfortunately it's already a bit deformed. But then again, it adds to the casual I'm-sneaking-through-the-grass-trying-very-hard-not-to-be-eaten-by-King-Simba-look, no?

Love the fabric and top.

I can see why you have worn this top alot!!! its lovely. I have been looking for a pattern for a top like this for ages now can you tell me where I can get the pattern please?

It's a pattern from a dutch sewing magazine called Knipmode. It's very easy, and it can also be easily lengthened to a dress.

In theory, the depth chart gives fans and media an early-season indicator of who will start the season at several positions across the field.
The early surprise in the roster rotation came in the wide receiving corps. Jerheme Urban's listed as the number one wideout across from Dwayne Bowe. Urban's a 7-year veteran out of Trinity, who's also ahead of free agent aquisition Steve Breaston on the depth chart.
Tamba Breaks Silence
Speaking of Christmas, another miracle happened at Chiefs Training Camp Wednesday.
Tamba Hali ended his media strike after an extended silent period.
"I don't want to come here and tell you guys, this is what I'm gonna do or this is what didn't happen and give a bunch of excuses. I don't want to be in front of the media every day and explaining what's going on."
While he hasn't been talking, he has been talked about. His contract negotiations and brief absence from camp were a point of discussion and speculation the first week of training camp in St. Joseph.
The pass rusher signed a five-year, $60 million contract extension last week.

Softball falls to Jacksonville State, 5-0
Related Links
A three-run homer by Kristin Graham in the first inning gave Jacksonville State all the offense it needed to down the JU softball team, 5-0, on Sunday afternoon in the JU Invitational at the JU Softball Complex.
Along with the home run, the Gamecocks (5-4) got a run from a Dolphins' (6-4) error and an RBI double by Sallie Beth Burch in the fifth inning. Tiffany Harbin (7-5) pitched five shutout innings for Jacksonville State to get the win in the circle.
"We battled but just got beat today," said JU head coach Amanda Lehotak. "They took advantage of our mistakes. Overall, I am happy with how we performed this first week. I saw a lot of positives that we can build on as the season progresses."
Junior Kayla Ouellet led the Dolphins offensively with two hits. Junior Sarah Sigrest (3-1) suffered her first loss after allowing three runs, two earned, on three hits in three innings. Junior Brittany Eppley allowed a two runs, one earned, in a relief inning, while sophomore Olivia Kline pitched two scoreless frames to close out the contest.
Jacksonville State's Tyris Branford led off the game with a walk before moving to second on an error by Sigrest. After a sacrifice bunt, Graham cleared the bases with a home run to left center field for the 3-0 advantage.
In the bottom of the first inning, freshman Jacey Warner reached on a one-out error, while sophomore Sarah Simon walked. Following a pop out, junior Amanda Schmidt walked to load the bases, but Harbin got senior Katie Kelly to fly out to center field to end the inning.
Ouellet and Warner each had consecutive singles to start the third inning for the Dolphins. With one out, Ouellet advanced to third on a wild pitch and Warner moved to second on a ground out by freshman Karson Tuck. Harbin worked out of the jam again by getting Schmidt to fly out to the shortstop in foul territory.
The Gamecocks made it 4-0 in the fourth inning by scoring on a two out, base-loaded error by JU, while Burch doubled home Abbey Stepp in the fifth after her leadoff triple to center field.
In the sixth inning, the Dolphins got consecutive singles by Simon and Tuck. Harbin was relieved by Ashley Eliasson, who induced three straight put outs at third base to quash the threat. Eliasson pitched a scoreless seventh inning to secure the victory.
The Dolphins close out the 12-game opening home stand with a doubleheader against South Dakota State at the JU Softball Complex. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.

The semi-patented cpaw 5x5 takes a look at Melo's potential addition to the Nets. Here are five topics on Carmelo Anthony and the Nets, each with five discussion points.
Reasons to trade for Melo
1) Melo is an elite offense force of not just this era, but of all time. There are only two other players in the current NBA that have his combination of post and perimeter scoring ability and their names are Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
2) Melo is a recognized All Star and the type of building block that few teams have and is rarely available in a trade.
3) Melo is a difference maker. Even with his flaws and weaknesses, he has never missed the playoffs.
4) Marketing, marketing, marketing. Adding Melo wins the hearts and minds of many casual fans who only know the big names.
5) Melo is not yet as good as he could be. In addition to being young, the offense George Karl has run over the years has not taken full advantage of Melo's range of skills.
Reasons not to trade for Melo
1) Melo has only elevated his team out of the first round of the playoffs one time.
2) We've spent three or more months salivating over Derrick Favors' potential and don't want to lose that mental investment.
3) Any trade involving both Favors and Troy Murphy leaves the Nets with a fatal weakness at power forward for this season.
4) The Nets won't have the depth to withstand a significant injury, especially if Brook Lopez gets hurt.
5) Adding Melo will lower Devin Harris' trade value since he won't get as many shot attempts. (Hey I needed a 5th reason)
What the rotation would look like
1) If both Favors and Murphy are traded, I expect to see a lot of both Outlaw and Melo playing in a lineup where they both switch defensive match ups.
2) Damion James is going to have to be ready to play a bigger role in the rotation and will likely have to spend time defending power forwards.
3) Joe Smith and Johan Petro will have to contribute as they move into the roles of second and third big men.
4) Anthony Morrow likely becomes the starter at shooting guard because of his ability to stretch the defense.
5) Brook will need to play huge minutes because of the drop off to Petro. With Murphy, Brook has the potential to earn a few more minutes of rest during the season.
How does this fit Avery's vision
1) In Dallas, Avery Johnson built the offense around Dirk's unique talents. With Melo, he can do something similar.
2) Travis Outlaw can be used as a stretch power forward in the same way that Avery wants to use Murphy.
3) The possibilities of a pick and roll two man game between Melo and Brook works into Avery's desire for an efficient offense.
4) The guard rotation isn't altered significantly, so the majority of the defensive pressure schemes Avery was planning can still be utilized.
5) With less quality big men, Brook may not be able to be as aggressive in blocking and altering shots as Avery was planning.
Improving this potential new core in future summers
1) The proposed trade of Favors and Murphy only removes one of the Nets future draft picks, so there will multiple chances to add talent from the college ranks.
2) If the next CBA adds a hard cap, the Nets might not be able to use their MLE in future summers because of Melo's contract and the need to reserve space for Brook's next contract.
3) Devin or Terrence Williams can be traded for a PF.
4) With the arms race to build teams with multiple top tier stars, the Nets would become an attractive destination by having Melo and a still improving Brook.
5) Adding role players is much easier than finding a building block. While Thorn was incapable of doing it, many teams are able to find lunch bucket type power forwards who don't need a lot of shot attempts.

Rocky Anderson on Health Care
Justice Party challenger for President; former mayor of Salt Lake City
ANDERSON: Our employers in this country are at a huge competitive disadvantage with their competitors overseas, because we are the only nation in the entire developed world that doesn't provide insurance coverage for everyone, and we're paying more than twice the average of the rest of the industrialized world. And we're getting far worse medical outcomes. More than 70 percent of the American people and the majority of doctors during the healthcare debate said they wanted to see a single-payer, Medicare-for-all system in place. [Most] of the members in Congress caved in to the for-profit insurance industry and the pharmaceutical companies. And once again, we end up getting shafted, the American people, again. We can't stand for it anymore. We need to send a message: there are going to be political consequences every time the corporate sector wins out over the interests of the American people.
ANDERSON: The solution is to provide Medicare for everybody. To make it a single payer system. You look around the world--Canada, Taiwan--they have a single payer, basically, Medicare-for-all system. We are paying more than double the average of the rest of the industrialized world per-capita for health care costs. A large part of that is because we're relying upon the for-profit insurance industry to provide health care for most people. We need to get rid of that. We can control costs. We can make it affordable, provide better services, and we can do it for all. You just get the for-profit insurance companies out of the way, and all of the burdensome paperwork and the different billing systems and all the rest, that end up costing over a third of what we pay for what's supposed to go toward our medical care.
ANDERSON: We're talking here about ObamaCare and RomneyCare. I would call that "insurance companycare" because they're the ones who wrote it. They joined up with a very conservative foundation years ago to develop this plan, to make the American people buy this perverse product. We are the only country in the world that depends upon for-profit insurance companies for the majority of our coverage for health care, for those were lucky enough to have it.

I took my wife there for her
birthday,we had an excellent evening the food and service were first class,I would highly recommend this place."

For Avenue Road/Davenport
established restos, Spuntini is a gem. Service is always great, attentive and special touches make returning an easy decision. Looking forward to our next visit!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
We had dinner there midweek! When
we arrived, we were offered several tables to choose where we wanted to sit! Service is lovely, food was delicious! We shared a salad with eggplant wrapped around goat cheese. Yummy! One of us ordered a mushroom pasta, another a pasta in a rosee sauce and also a spigola whole fish dinner! Everything tasted awesome! Great spot for dining!"

Great as always and worth the
drive! Such great energy, service, and food. Always feel welcomed!"

From the moment we walked in to
the end of our evening our server Eddy was simple amazing. He is a true asset to the restaurant. It was my friends first time there and loved everything about our dining experience and will return with ours. The food, wine and staff are all wonderful. Would not hesitate to recommend"
Dined on 7/24/2014
I've been to Spuntini's a number
of times. Typically the service is decent and the food is good. This time however, things were very different. 1) When we got there, they couldn't find our reservation. Once they determined that they did indeed have a reservation we had to wait 20 mins to be seated. 2) Once seated, we waited another 15 mins before anyone came by for a drink order. 3) My wife wanted extra 'hummus' and we were told that they will have to see if the kitchen has any, this is their staple dip, why wouldn't they have it. Anyways, no one came by with it nor did they tell us that the were out. 4) The waiters were extremely rude and unhelpful. The last one ruined our evening and sparked this review."

Food was great and very friendly
service. The Drnks were plentifull and made to our perfection."
Dined on 6/18/2014
Dinner at Spuntini was the most
disappointing. From the service to food and the table itself - all was a miss. Our table was right beside the wine, the water pitcher and cheese so they would swoop in right over us and take these heavy items right over our heads and not even mention it! It took 30 minutes to get the wine (had to ask again) and then when the appetizer came the only request of 'no peppers' was ignored and I got extra peppers. They argued and said they thought I meant cracked pepper instead of just going to re-make it. Then, when my main meal came out - it also had peppers! Our server was also never around. Our neighbour broke a glass and after 10 minutes, they got up to find someone to clean it. Waste of money, don't bother!"
Dined on 6/13/2014
This was my first time and found
the food were great & tasty. The waiter showed un-pleased when we told him that we were sharing the dinner among the 4 of us....I was with 3 ladies and they are not that hungry so I ordered 3 starters and 3 mains and he kept telling me there were only 3 mains ordered.... what a jerk!"
Dined on 6/10/2014
We have dined here several times
over the last couple of years...the food is consistently good. Portion sizes are small though, and always leave there feeling hungry despite having three courses. Should not have to fill up on bread to fill the stomach! Service is good, although the pacing of the meal is more like a chain restaurant than a dining experience. You can be finished in under 1 hour 15 minutes...would rather have a bit of a break between courses. The noise level of this restaurant is high, and once it is full it is hard to carry on a conversation without raising your voice. All the elements are there for this to be a great restaurant...it just falls short!"
Dined on 5/31/2014
Great restaurant, food and service
was delicious. Perfect for Mother's Day dinner! Will be back."

The best Penne alla Vodka .... I
would return to Toronto just to dine at this restaurant!!!"
Dined on 4/27/2014
Our server was clearly well versed
in reading his guests. Our needs were anticipated but the service was never intrusive. It was just the right touch. We were so involved in our own romantic evening, we barely noticed the restaurant that was buzzing around us has almost emptied. It was the perfect evening, and we definitely chose the perfect spot to share it."
Dined on 4/11/2014
Been coming here for many years
and will keep coming back. Came with a group of girlfriends this time, and everyone loved their food - main course and dessert. The service was great...as it always is. Would recommend to everyone."
Dined on 4/5/2014
The location is everything for
this restaurant in the heart of Yorkville, near Bloor and Avenue Roads. Cosy atmosphere. Very solicitous wait crew. Very enjoyable food, well prepared. Adequate wine list."
Dined on 3/27/2014
Great food and service. Greeted
warmly and treated as if we were long time guests. We felt well looked after through whole the meal and the staff seemed to know exactly when to check on us. Everyone's food was spot on and the portions were just right. We are already planning our next visit."
Dined on 3/21/2014
excellent ambience. Food isi
excllent, service excellent, desert superb!!! Wine list excellent. the only issue i have with this restaurant is that the front upper room is really cold in the winter time other than that, it was overall and excellent experience."
Dined on 3/12/2014
I had dinner with a friend here on
a Friday night, and it turned out to be an awful decision. The food was great, but the service was exceptionally bad enough to warrant never coming back. I had a reservation, but was seated 30 minutes late (and was told 3 times "it'll take 2 minutes"). I was charged for the wrong dessert, which was more expensive than what I ordered. My friend and I split the bill, but my credit card was charged twice and the waiter was annoyed that I asked him to cancel the charges and correct it. This place will become a "has been", which is a pity because the food is fantastic. There are too many other great Italian restaurants in Toronto for me to come back here and be treated poorly."

you get treated like gold no
matter what wine you order !!"
Dined on 3/6/2014
Spuntini is our favorite
restaurant in Toronto. It is reliable, consistant, staff are wonderful and the food is outstanding."
Dined on 3/1/2014
We didn't know what to expect as
we had not been there for years. It did not disappoint. Ou reservation was honored right on time and we were seated right away. Our waiter was quick, monitored us frequently and he had a great personality. The food was very good. My wife had a pasta and I had a veal, both bursting with flavour. And the pricing was reasonable. The only knock is considering it is a small space, diners are packed in and the noise level was a bit high. But it did not take away from an overall nice evening."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Our reservation was for 9:30 but
they overbooked or something for Valentine's Day and we didn't get seated until 10:40pm. Great food but a reservation is made for a reason and the fact we had to stand in line which was out the door and was very cold took away from what this restaurant."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I took my girlfriend here for
Valentines day and as soon as we entered the restaurant we were treated with respect and felt very wanted. The food was fantastic although a little pricey it was overall well worth it. Our waiter god forbid neither of us can't remember his name was pleasant and warm, someone who I wish would serve us at any restaurant we went to. The scenery and environment like was very romantic and I definitely recommend this to restaurant to any couple looking for a night out!"

We enjoyed our meal, service was
good. Solid experience, would recommend to friends."

Wow, first time attendance and we
were a group of six ladies talking business and we all had different items - outstanding by all!"
Dined on 2/4/2014
Booked this on basis of previous
Open Table reviews. Very pleasant spot. We had a nice table in the front verandah overlooking Avenue Road. The food was OK, if not outstanding. I ordered Veal Milanese which sounded very Italian but it came out as Wiener Schnitzel. (Fortunately, I happen to like Wiener Schnitzel, but think others who don't would have been disappointed). Generous portions. Service was quite slow between courses. OK if you are there to hold hands with your sweetie, but off-putting if you are hungry and chowing down on the bread. Very good and reasonable wine selection."
Dined on 1/30/2014
My friends in Toronto give me a
hard time because I always want to come here when I come to town (4 - 6 times a year). There are other restaurants in the city they tell me, and I do try other restaurants while here but why not go back to what you really like because I know I'm going to get great food and fab service.... All the time, every time and that is what's important. Give it a try, I promise it won't disappoint"

We went to Spuntiini on New Years
Eve and had a fabulous meal! The service was wonderful, and we look forward to going back! Sometimes on New Years Eve, things tend to slip in service and quality, but everything was beyond our expectations. We loved that the restaurant was "quaint" and yet comfortable. I recommend this restaurant highly! Enjoy."

Booked our first visit to Spuntini
after many years of intent. Should not have waited so long! Great food, superb service and excellent Italian wine. There is a reason why Spuntini has been a Toronto success story for so many years...they know the recipe for a great restaurant."

Our waiter was lovely but a little

Food was sub-par. Seafood salad
appetizer seemed like it was assembled from the frozen section at a grocery store. Lobster ravioli filling tasted processed. The restaurant was also quite cold. Wine was good as usual."

A group of 12 of us went to
Spuntini to celebrate my husbands birthday. The staff were very accommodating...I increased our guest list twice the day before :) The server was very knowledgable, advising wine pairings and specials of the day. They brought out a tirimisu with a candle in it for my husbands birthday...so nice. The food was amazing! I recommend the four chesse gnocci! This is the second birthday celebration we had at Spuntini and will definately plan another group event there soon!"

I just want to start with saying,
what Italian restaurant runs out of Pizza dough? That is like going to a sushi restaurant and saying their our of rice. My boyfriend and I took our friends for their engagement present, and it was slightly embarrassing. We all ended ordering pasta, as we didn't have a choice, and they were delicious. We all enjoyed our meal but it was a big turn off that they didnt have any pizza dough. At such a high end restaurant, they should probably think ahead!"

The service was great from the
moment we sat down. The staff were very accomodating with our guest's dietary restrictions. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the wine list was impressive. A cozy ambiance and a variety of items on the menu."

Hot shot photographer from LA takes up Warrington youngster's master class offer
10:20am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
COLLEGE art students have been given a master class from a 'hot shot' photographer, who jetted in from Los Angeles to visit them.
Alex Stoddard offered tips to youngsters at Carmel College, after making contact with photography student Stephen Maycock, from Warrington.
The 18-year-old set up the invitation after he was in regular contact via Facebook and Flickr.
He explained: "A lot of Alex's work is conceptually based and there is a strong narrative in his work. I find his work inspiring.
"Some of his work is quite sinister and my work is going down that road. I am also inspired by Gothic writers like Angela Carter.
"Alex started when he was just 16 and he has gone from strength to strength and is getting a lot of work."

10:15am Tuesday 8th May 2012 in Celebrating
ONE happy family with a new arrival is 'loving every moment' of being together.
Connor Marcus Rutherford was welcomed into the world by proud parents Abi and Pete and big sister Brooke.
He was born at Dorset County Hospital on March 30 and weighed 8lb 4oz.
His parents, from Dorchester, said he had been eating and sleeping well and was putting on weight.
Mum Abi said that Connor and Brooke had been getting on really well.
She said: "They are getting on fine. She likes to talk to him and kiss him."
Mrs Rutherford said: "The best bit is seeing them together and watching them play. I'm loving every moment."
She added: "She has to inspect him when I'm changing him and she takes the nappies to the bin – she's really helpful."
The couple would like to thank both of their parents for all their help and support.

This is something I've been wanting to make for a long time. I love these kimono jackets I've been seeing but they are way too expensive for something so simple. So I finally found the right fabric and it cost me less than $15. I love it ! Now all I need is some warmer weather lol.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The murder trial of Donovan Miller began on Thursday with the jury traveling to view the scene of the crime.
Miller is charged with aggravated murder in the September fatal shooting of 22-year-old Quest Wagoner at the victim's home on Inverness Avenue.
In court, Miller declined an offer to avoid trial and plead guilty to a reduced charge.
He is also charged with tampering with evidence and drug trafficking.

As you hear the opening distortion to "Black" you can't help but be reeled into the power this album has. "Black" was the only song i had heard from this album and it was all i needed to buy it. The song opens you up into this aggressive, no holds barred rock album. Sevendust is a breath of fresh air in the middle of a dulled out immature rock scene we've been getting lately. Lajon has a mindblowing voice and proves that you don't need to be an angry white guy to be metal. I recommend getting this album, especially if you're looking for something that gives you hope that rock will never die.
Key Tracks: Black, Bitch, Too Close to Hate, Face

Thought that title would get some of your attention... but now please stay, this post has Pictures!
I'm glad you decided to stay, you made the right decision.. but enough about that lets go over my 2 cents on what I came here to say. Basically I have been following this Peyton Manning situation with great joy watching the weak fight for a taste of success (the kind of success we felt this previous season. ((yes this post deserves a rec just for that statement alone)) (((or the use of so many brackets )))). However this smug state of mind suddenly turned to fear when the 49ers decided to jump into the Peyton Place Race (Alliteration Mother F**ker).
Now if this were to happen Peyton would be a serious upgrade from the likes of Alex Smith and make the 49ers instant Super Bowl favorites, and I'll be honest this scared my boobies... until it became clear to me what was going down.
Yes, Peyton does want to win another Super Bowl. However Peyton wants to win it at the mercy of Eli. In the Manning Bowl. So rather than sign with the 49ers, Peyton is playing them like a flute (Anchorman reference deserved rec). Making them loose their current starting QB to the Phins while Peyton ends up signing with the AFC (my votes with the Titans) thus giving the 49ers nothing at QB.
Making the road for Eli that much easier (What an awesome Big Brother) and the hopes and dreams of the Manning Bowl finally live on. Viva the Manning Bowl!!!
(Yes I made this picture rec deserved indeed)
Oh and may the force be with Big Blue

0149 - Dormitory 43, School of the Ordinary
Apex Predator.
That is what I am and that is what I will always be. For who can take me down? I am at the top of the food chain, the alpha of everything. The most powerful, the most respected.
Here I am. Mingling with these people. These low lives who know nothing of the reality that they're going through. The oblivious. The idiotic. If it was by choice, I would have never dared to be a part of this level of society. Unfortunately it is beyond my control.
Naive. Yes, that is what best describes them. They know nothing of power, of superiority. If they only knew then they'd have bowed down to me. As I gaze down at them, they shall continue to gaze up at me from the heavens. As I rise they grow smaller, farther, lower.
I do not belong here. Yet here I am…within a society of idiots and innocents. One day they will understand. That I, Xeraphym Arche, must be worshiped, praised and bowed to. For I am, the Apex Predator.
The process took less than a few minutes, before the girl's form seemed to jerk, turning her onto her side as she spluttered and coughed. Water spilled from the lips he had been touching a moment ago, forced from her lungs as Shizuka curled into herself, the reaction causing unfamiliar pressure on her chest that, no, her semi-conscious form didn't much enjoy. For a while, that was all she did, her body rejecting the unwanted pool water. Until she was left shivering, eyes squeezed shut.
It took a bit more before Shizuka finally dared to open her eyes. Surely, she wasn't dead. There was no bright, heavenly lights, nor any fire burning at her skin. Nothing. Instead, she found herself staring at someone's lap. Her eyes dragged upwards, and there he was, someone that had probably just saved her life, considering that the last thing she could remember was crashing into water. Her mouth opened to try and speak, though she wasn't sure what she wanted to say. Thank you? Not that anything came out. She only managed to cough some more.
When her chest heaved and she started to cough out the pool water Xy relaxed; brushing his forehead with the back of his hand. Adjusting his position yet keeping her head on his lap, he spread his legs onto the grass, slipping his jacket off and putting it around her as he noticed her shiver. "Heh, I'm glad you're alive, geez why'd you fall out of the sky? You're ugly wings are big enough to carry you and all you know, you should use them more or at least practice to get a hold of them if you haven't. What if no one was around to save you? You could have died!" His mouth ran on and on with very little concern about her just waking up and she already wakes up to his nagging. He sighed after, "You need to get changed, you're going to be cold, you'll catch a cold. Cold's are horrible." His fingers raked through his hair. Finally remembering his manners he smiled just a tiny bit, "Oh, my name's Xy."
He wasn't really expecting her to reply.
Jin's laughter was music to his ears, taking only a few seconds for his face to heat up in red when she kissed him. Kaidou loved it when she did that, the beats of his heart quickening in a manic pace but he didn't miss any as she continued. Smirking at the flying fruit,"Thanks!". Jin couldn't have placed it better, fingers tracing crisscrossing arcs. Contrary to how the mystic did it in the past,there was an absence of the whooshing noise that always accompanied the wind crescents he favored.
He caught the apple, like nothing had happened yet he stayed smirking. The reason for his behavior becoming known after a snap with his free hand,whisking the fruit with a distinct whoosh this time. Instead of it rotating as a whole,slices spiraled out one by one in a clockwork manner. Kaidou couldn't keep himself from mouthing a "Ta-da." before snatching a few and proceeding to eat them. "Mmmmmm.",the mystic hummed in satisfaction,he was glad she could read him perfectly. Feeling nothing short of ecstatic and kissed her on the cheek,red eyes only on her,"You're the best."
As usual, Jin watched in amazement. Before she knew it the apple was sliced into pieces. She giggled and shook her head, "Such a magician," her hand moving to brush his fringes away from her face. It was this small gestures and moments that meant so much to Jin. This was perfect. There was very little need for flare to please Jin but Kaidou would always push past expectations and just really make her happy beyond anything. The kiss he left on her cheek filled her with so much warmth that her blush turned even redder and she smiled all the more. An arm moved to wrap around the other's arm, head moving to lean against his shoulder while she reached for a piece of an apple and took a bite. "I know I'm the best!" A giggle once again slipping from her lips. There was a grin on her face but soon turned into a serene smile.
For a while there was silence. Nothing but the cold breeze whistled past them; her legs swaying over the ledge where they sat. With him, she knew she need not to fear heights. Besides, she was sure that he'd catch her if she falls.
"Ano, how was your day?"
Kimura kept looking at the girl, and realized…this is getting nowhere for him. He opened his eyes wide and had his jaw dropped after hearing what she said to him. 'Appa'? For all he knows, his name isn't 'Appa'.
When she hugged the clueless soul, he lost his grip on the books and looked down at her, not noticing that the books were floating in mid-air. "W-Wait a second! Th-the boo-…E-EH!?" the minute he looked up at the floating books, that is where his hair started to stand as if he got electrocuted. "What did I drag myself into!?" he whined in the back of his head and looked down at the girl, pulling of a fearless look. But that failed epically.
"Ahh, I-I think you got it…mistaken, little g-girl. M-my name…isn't Appa. It's Kimura." he told Ji, looking at her with a very lost look on his face, but manages to flash a smile at her.
Her brows met at the center of her forehead, "Ehhhh? You're name's Kimura???" she puffed her cheeks and shook her head, "I'm pretty sure that appa's name isn't Kimura." His name slipping out with a weird accent, she wasn't from Japan but from Korea instead. "Sir Humphrey, appa's name isn't Kimura right?" There was a pause and then she nodded as if a responding to her imaginary friend. Her gaze then fell back up at the older man again. "But you look like my appa! You really really really really really really look like my appa!" She exclaimed as he bounced a bit, her arms still around Kimura's arm. "Lemme show you!" She reached into her pocket and showed him a photo of her and her father who looked just like Kimura just with a slight difference in hair color.
"See? See? See? APPA!!!"

Taking out a book from a shelf, she started to read it to ease her boredom. The book itself seemed ancient and heavy, but it was a good read since she likes to read about the histories of each of the races. It was also to keep something inside of her in check. Lia kept thinking of the demon in her when she started to read. The images of dark souls with fiery eyes appeared, along with hysterical laughter echoing in her thoughts as corpses started to flash in her head. It was her demon doing this, and the more she thinks about it, the more she gets afraid of it possessing her.
But all of those thoughts disappeared when she was brought back to reality. She shook her head and closed the book before putting it back at its place. The librarian stayed still at her place, looking down before dropping her hand on her side. Why is it disturbing her at this time? All she wanted was peace, just like before. Why now…
She came back to reality when she heard someone calling her. Lia knew that voice, it was him. She really missed that voice of his, not to mention his warmth as well. And right now, the librarian needed him badly; she was afraid. Without hesitation, she walked to him and wrapped her arms around his waist gently in front. "I miss you, Sei." she spoke, her head resting on his chest. When she did that, she started to feel a little…calm.
With Lia in his arms his features softened. Now he really did look tired and for some strange reason he looked like he had aged. Perhaps it was just the stress but it was evident that he was tired. His arms found its way around her, pulling her closer to him; lips pressed against the top of her head. "I missed you too," he whispered softly. He was glad she was around, that she was so patient. She never asked what was going on, she never doubted, and the best was, she was always there to welcome him home. A love never fading even if half of it was dipped in mystery, darkness and secrecy. There was no one like her at all.
He pulled back from the hug and gazed at her, smiling as his hand caressed her cheek, leaning to press a kiss on her forehead. "Seems like you've got the library all fixed up eh?" A slight chuckle leaving his lips.
"I'm sorry for being away for a long time."
Having struck the water at that speed, it was a surprise that she didn't get a concussion, or, worse yet, died completely. She did, though, pass out, swallowing too much water even when the pool water seemed to part completely for the unconscious form. Shizuka was on her side, her wings spread out behind her, eyes shut, hair and clothes clinging to her. No, she wasn't okay.
With no response Xy lifted his other hand and lifted her out of the pool, the water falling back into the pool as he now focused on the girl, she was unconscious. Her appearance had him interested all the more, black wings, he thought them interesting. He set her down gently onto the grass and kneels beside her. She was out cold, maybe she had swallowed much water, she could have fell at a great height, the water the only thing that broke her fall.
Xy brushed her hair away from her face, his first thought was to get her to the infirmary but then again… "Where the fuck is the infirmary?" He muttered under his breath, then shrugging. "I can do this." He lifted her head up a bit by the neck and leaned forward, based on what he read from books this was called CPR. He'd have used his powers but it was risky. He could be pulling out more liquids than just the pool water and it could kill her. Slowly, gently, he pressed over her chest, hitting them with a bit of force, then leaning in to blow air into her mouth, his soft lips slightly brushing against hers.
"I had a feeling you would.",was his answer back, no mistaking the grin that his mouth arched into. To Kaidou it came as no surprise that Jin would know exactly where he'd be, unable to keep himself from chuckling,to be honest she knew him better than he did. She was warm as always, a comfort he cherished whilst nuzzling back(hoping the spikes of his hair wouldn't poke her). Faint starlight could be seen reflecting on his eyes,and with the quietest snap he could manage had them(there were about a dozen of the ethereal lights now) floating beside her. The mystic didn't want to disturb the atmosphere, the chance to enjoy a peaceful time like this with Jin was a luxury he was lucky to have.
Even if the reflections were gone, his irises stayed alight now gazing at her,the grin settling into a fond smile,"I love you, you know that?" Actions spoke louder than words that was true, but someone like him ought to work on the latter.
This guy had a thing for flare and she liked it. Those past memories of him acting like a mute jester doing all those magic tricks just to make her smile and laugh, he was really quite different. Romantic in his own way, sweet even. But he changed. Not in a bad way but yes, Kaidou did grow up too. Now he was way taller than her and face was sharper, more defined, good looking even. She giggled as the lights seemed to float beside her and he sighed as she closed her eyes just to bask in his presence.
When he moved to look at her, those words that slipped out his mouth just had her surprised still. He was more vocal now as compared before and her cheeks flushed read in an instant. A shy smile appearing on her face, "I know," she whispered as she leaned in and pressed a kiss on his cheek. Her heart was racing and he was still very much capable of flipping her stomach all over. She settled beside him and threw the apple she brought with her into the air, "Slice and dice, I brought you your favorite snack." A smile appearing on her face.
It was a freedom like none before. Maybe the winged girl had dreamed of it a couple of times, but never once had she allowed herself to fly this high, wings outstretched without a care in the world. Because, here, no one will suspect that she was abnormal, that she needed to be shot down. Here, she was almost normal. Almost, because, even amongst the mutants, Shizuka was an abnormality with her grossly physical mutation.
That, though, was not something she was dwelling upon as she flew amongst the birds. She couldn't help the small smile on her face. No matter how much her wings made her feel as though she stood out way too much, she loved this feeling of soaring through the air, as if she weighed nothing, a feather floating. For a moment, she shut her eyes, letting her wings carry her.
Bad idea.
When she next opened her eyes, a crow was flying straight at her, squawking. A sharp intake of breath, and Shizuka spun out of the crow's path. But it was too late. Her focus was lost. That was the one thing about her wings. She couldn't control them consciously. Her wings were giving a few pathetic flaps that weren't bringing her upright, and soon she was heading straight towards ground level. She tried to think fast, but she was so very frightened. It wasn't until last minute that her eyes caught sight of the pool, and she tried to redirect herself towards there. It was still a hard landing, falling from so high against the surface of the water, but it was better than ground.
She sunk to the bottom of the pool.
It was high time that something happened around this place. He was getting bored but that thought of a new library with more appropriate and more interesting books had him drawn to it. He had been starting to read and he chose out doors to be the most convenient place to read. The whole place was huge there was so much space to the point he thought someone was bound to get lost.
He walked along the pathway that led all the way to the outdoor pool. He had found that place by mistake, during his wanderings and he found it as one of the best spots to get some reading done. "This place needs a damn map." He muttered under his breath as he made a turn at one corner only to end up somewhere he never had set foot on. "Fuck. This isn't it. Fine." Without second thoughts, he shot up into the sky, getting a good birds eye view of the property. A grin appears when he sees the pool yet another thing had caught his eye. Something was falling, he couldn't really tell and he had spotted her all to late to zoom in to catch instead he flew right towards the pool, getting back on his feet. Puzzled by the huge object that did make a splash, and judging by it could only mean that it could be human had caught his curiosity. Xy stretched out his hand and with a wave gently pushed the pool water aside, revealing a girl.
"Oi! Are you okay?!?"
Just when he thought his day could get even better…his face turned red as he tried to hold himself from freaking out after something, or rather someone, hugged his leg. He cocked his head to his left and looked down at his leg, and boom! A girl was on his leg surprisingly. The clueless looking man blinked at her and had his mouth open.
"Ahh, h-hello there?" he asked the girl that was still clinging to his leg. The something hit him on the head, the name she mentioned. With his head filled with so much confusion, he started to look around for this "Sir Humphrey" guy frantically. To his surprise…there was only him and this new girl. Freak out mode; activated but on hold.
He looked down at the other again and gulped. "S-She must be seeing things…right?" he thought at the back of his head, before he introduced himself - nervously. "A-Ahh, n-n-nice to meet you, Ji…Jiji…Yoonji. Th-The name's K-Kimura by the way. You can call me…uhh, Kim. Yeah, Kim." he let out a nervous chuckle, as always.
All the more her eyes widened when she heard a voice and she glanced up, "THE BOOKS TALK TOO?!?!" she exclaimed only to find herself looking at a guy. She blinked, once, twice, thrice. Then she jumped back, and just stared, for the longest time she did until that surprised looked slowly turning into a huge bright smile, she was radiating, "APPA!" She blurted out as she threw her arms around Kimura not minding about the books because she knew that Sir Humphrey was going to catch them, and it did, the books were held in place in mid air.
She nuzzled against the other's arm, "Appa appa appa appa! YOu're here! You're really here!" Not even daring to let go of Kimura at all. Though her father wasn't even named Kim, that small detail seemed to have not been heard by the "little" girl.

It was the start of a new day, and the library in the institution's premises was already set in place. Cleaner and neater than it was before, the place still looked a little dark. But in a few seconds, it was brightly lit from the sun's light thanks to someone who opened the windows. Now the library looked…alive.
Breathing in the fresh air in the library, the librarian stretched her arms upwards and a soft smile appeared on her face as she felt the chilling breeze crawl on her skin. It made her grab her jacket that was nearby as she wrapped herself in it. The breeze was that cool, even she felt cold with her jacket on. But she didn't mind it at all since it's that peaceful in this library she was in.
Which got her wondering about someone who got out with a stack of books. She huffed and leaned on the counter. "I hope he's alright." she spoke softly and looked around, before walking around the library. Being alone in the library sometimes can be boring, especially when there's no one to talk to.
Where had he gone this time? Seito was a traveler, he had always been one since after the war and now he'd been going around doing things. Things he never spoke to anyone, things he kept locked up inside his own head. He had just arrived from his recent travels, reappearing in his usual puff of purple smoke. He was aware of the new people that were to come to the school and was all the more excited. Suppose he meet everyone one of these days. He was sure that Jin had kept everything in order in his office for him. She had been under his care for a long time now and insisted on assisting him in his duties not that she knew anything of course.
Dark circles formed under his eyes and his charred button up shirt was enough evidence that he had gotten a bit roughed up. A little skirmish not long ago. His hair had grown longer, now messy. He pushed his frames and fixed them on the bridge of his nose there was someone he had to say hello to. The last he saw her was when she had found him buried behind a towers and towers of books. His research though had come in handy and did help a lot. A smile slowly tugged against the side of his lips, it was good to be home. The fresh air, the nice green grass, it was all just amazing.
Deciding to leave his visit to his own office for later, he found himself pushing the library doors open. Head peeking through the gap in the door, purples eyes shining in the shadows produced by the rays of sunlight. "Lia? Are you here?" He called out, now slipping inside the library, his hands pushing his sleeves up, a growing habit.

Plus, the team's top prospect is all over the hockey media right now, anyway.

Funnyman/actor Craig Robinson will star in a new series sold to NBC by The Office executive producer Greg Daniels - a yet-to-be-titled sale penned by Owen Ellickson (supervising producer for The Office).
The project, according to Deadline, will follow a talented musician (played by Robinson) with rough edges, who adjusts to his new life as a music teacher in a big-city middle school, where he encounters teacher politics and the temptations of single moms.
Robinson also has a connection to The Office as a member of its cast, since the first season.
He'll be appearing in at least 3 feature films in 2013 - The End of the World, We The Peeples, and Rapturepalooza.
The lead role in a comedy series on a major network would obviously be a good look for him. But several hurdles still have to be jumped over before it actually becomes a series; scripts have to be written, a pilot has to be shot; the NBC has to love the pilot before orderin a season, etc...

Stop remaking the Steve Harvey Show, it was only good because of the supporting cast. Bill Bellamy has a show call Mr. box office similar to this. Stop putting old people in a school and thinking young people will watch it. Copy the success of shows like Awkward. Make our young black and brown teenage characters 3 dimensional like these young white actors have the opportunity to. I'm not speaking to the establishment but to black directors and producers whose taste and limited creativity prevent them from being trendsetters in their industry cause they are still trying to profile old ass negroes like they are all Sidney Poitier.

Good for him. I'll watch.

Garthoff has an outstanding background in intelligence and brings a lot to the topic. He has great connections which he uses to bring in guest lecturers. Definitely meet with him during office hours and he'll give you insight about the course and help direct you in your research.
The lectures at times are tedious and can be boring but he does include some interesting stories and historical facts. Overall, papers and tests are easy if you study the right things and know general principles. He very helpful with paper ideas and sources outside of class.
awful class, boring, not what i expected at all. exams were poorly organized and grading standards were unfair. do NOT take intelligence in the post 9/11 with Garthoff!!
Unorganized, very weird exam questions, no grading standards, boring, unfair
Is a nice man, but his lectures are completely unstructured; his test questions are very broad; and his class is boring

By BRIAN BAKST
Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The Legislature has sent Gov. Mark Dayton a bill containing $20 million in emergency heating aid for low-income people.
The House passed the bill unanimously on Thursday afternoon. The Senate approved it unanimously earlier in the day. A spokesman says Dayton will sign the bill immediately.
The bill replenishes a fast-eroding account for the low income heating assistance program, which has been stressed by a bone-chilling winter and high propane costs. The Minnesota Department of Commerce estimates that for each $1 million the program can serve 4,000 households.
The House first passed the bill on Tuesday, the first day of session. The Senate had planned to approve it next week, but Republicans in that chamber moved Thursday to fast-track it and Democrats did not object.

V.A. Hospital in Jackson Remains Under ScrutinyBy Daniel Cherry | Published 13 Jul 2012 03:39pm |
The veterans hospital in Jackson remains under scrutiny. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports, one Mississippi Congressman is looking into allegations of poor conditions at the medical center.
Mississippi veterans have reached out to Congressman Bennie Thompson with complaints about the care they've received at the Sonny Montgomery VA hospital. Thompson called for a federal investigation into the facility last month, and Friday he toured the hospital to see what's going on first hand.
"I look forward to talking with the men and women on the health care side who prove the service to our veterans to see how I can be helpful, see if there are some problems, and, if there are, if my bringing attention to the proper authorities can be helpful."
Complaints to Thompson's office include allegations of improper record keeping, understaffing, and even patient deaths. Rica Lewis Peyton is over 10 VA hospitals across 8 states. She points out the hospital in Jackson is in the top ten percent performing VA medical centers.
"That doesn't mean that we don't have opportunities to improve. We are the benchmark of excellence so we continue to raise the bar because the veterans deserve no less."
During his visit, Thompson didn't offer too many details about his tour, however, he did take note of the need for more services for homeless veterans. He hopes to be able to help get more vets into housing and treatment.
"Jackson tends to be magnet for people with issues with not just homelessness, but mental health and other things. So if those individuals are veterans we want to be able to take care of them."
Congressman Thompson says the investigation into the hospital remains under review.

"Nuts and Bolts" returns in January 2014
You see them on the frontline every week, preaching a sermon, running the Sunday school program, leading worship, or any of the other dozens of tasks a church leader may be found doing on a Sunday morning. But when the church clears and Sunday morning is over, these church leaders have a ministry to manage – and for the second straight year, the Nuts & Bolts program is back to help point them in the right direction.
Beginning on January 30, 2014, Providence Theological Seminary, in partnership with the Providence Buller Centre for Business, will be producing the Nuts & Bolts for Ministries program, a six-session workshop aimed to provide leaders of all types of ministries with basic management training in areas such as budgeting, media relations, communications, and much more. The types of leaders who are likely to attend include pastors, church administrators, board leaders, board members executive directors, and program directors, all of whom possess essential spiritual gifts for leading a church body, but who may not have a lot of experience running the behind-the-scenes work of an entire organization.
This year's sessions come after a successful launch of the program in 2013, which saw 20 ministry leaders across Manitoba attend the six-session workshop, and be a part of a great dialogue to help further the reach and effectiveness of their church ministries. This year, led by primary facilitator Bob Fast, Providence expects the sessions to be even more informative and useful, thanks to great feedback from last year's participants, and the new inclusion of para-church and community ministries to the group of attendees..
This year's sessions are $315 per person (with bursaries available if needed), and run every other Thursday morning from January 30 – April 10, 2014, at the Winnipeg Evangelical Free Church. To learn more about Nuts & Bolts for Ministries, please visit the Buller Centre website and see the Nuts & Bolts program page.

Packing up. At the Palmetto Compress Warehouse Sunday people were loading moving trucks, wasting little time, after getting notice they have until the 31st to clear out.
The plans are to tear the building down, brick by brick."You look at Charleston, they would never knock this building down," said business owner Todd Stuart. "I don't think there would be a debate in Charleston about knocking this building down."The Vista Guild Merchant's Association, preservationists, local business owners and developers have launched a Facebook effort to save the century-old building used for storing cotton.
It's one of the last associated with African American history in the Vista.
"We're surrounded by successful examples of people coming in and rehabilitating and readapting historic buildings, that's what's so attractive," said Sarah Lewis with the Vista Guild Merchant's Association.701 Whaley developer Richard Burts was told his project couldn't be done. He believes the warehouse can be renovated, claiming sloped floors considered a challenge by some, may be an opportunity for the right developer."You don't look at building the same way, historic building the same way you look at a building coming out of the ground," said Burts. "So, you get the creative team together, you figure out what you have, what your limitations are and then you fit the plan around the building."There's still the issue of a rehearing for the proposed student housing project by developer Edwards Communities on the site. The proposal was denied by the city's Design Development Review Commission claiming the plans didn't fit the urban setting in the Innovista District design guidelines. Three different appeals have been filed. No court date is scheduled and a hearing is scheduled for March 14th.
"It should be high density, urban use, mixed use," said Lewis.The developer plans to raze the building whether the student housing moves forward or not. With few cracks in the building's exterior, those wanting to save the building believe it can be done.
Some have blamed the City for not considering the warehouse for city landmark status. Mayor Benjamin's said in a statement to WIS: "The only way an economically feasible adaptive reuse plan for the building will ever be developed and its potential realized is if all parties can work together."

Much recent conversation on SounderAtHeart has focused on Adrian's big stack of MLS funny money, the #2 allocation pick he has in his pocket, and our 13th and 21st picks in the upcoming MLS SuperDraft. However, the Sounders have quietly accumulated another genuine asset in the wacky world of MLS Roster-building - International Roster Slots.
Per 2013 Roster Rules and Regulations, "A total of 152 international slots are divided among the 19 clubs. Each club began with eight international slots, which are tradeable. There is no limit on the number of international slots on each club's roster." The Sounders have made trades involving these slots in the past and currently have rights to seven, of which only two are used. The players currently using the slots are:
- Djimi Traore - Citizenship: Mali/France
- Obafemi Martins: Citizenship: Nigerian
(Note: As of 1/4/2014, SoundersFC.com lists Shalrie Joseph as a player taking a slot. However, I am certain that this is incorrect based on this: http://www.shalriejoseph.com/2009/08/shalrietv-shalrie-is-sworn-in-at-faneuil-hall-is-a-us-citizen/ and I have notified them of this error.)
Our recent acquisitions (signed and unsigned) have been exclusively US Citizens:
- Clint Dempsey
- Kenny Cooper
- Chad Marshall
- Stefan Frei (dual Swiss/US)
- Tristan Bowen
- Chad Barrett
- Corey Hertzog
It remains to be seen whether both of the players currently occupying our international slots will be back in 2014. Now that the chatter from Turkey/London has died down, Oba Martins seems to be a very good bet to return. Djimi Traore is part of a very crowded pool of centerbacks and it would be very surprising if all of them are still Sounders when March arrives. However, Traore - at a mere $120K in 2013 - is a bargain (compared to Hurtado @ $190K and Ianni @ $150K). If the past five years serve as a good indicator for what is to come in 2014, we can assume that the Sounders' immigration lawyer has already been hard at work on the behalf of each of these two players. It would follow a well established pattern if either or both of them receive green cards before the end of the 2014 season and no longer occupy international roster slots.
What does this mean? It means we have at least FIVE unused roster slots for international players.
We can use these in one of three ways:
We can trade them
There are always - ALWAYS - teams looking for more of these slots. As long as there are middle-aged men playing soccer in Italy, Montreal will be hoarding international slots. Roughly half the teams in the league have only one or two (or zero) open slots. These slots represent flexibility when acquiring players and building a roster. They have real value. One need look no further than #27 Lamar Neagle to understand this value. At the beginning of 2013, it was a unit of this very commodity that allowed us to bring our man home where he belongs. In that case, one international slot equaled 30 apps, 27 starts, 8 goals and 4 assists.
We can sign players from abroad
This may sound obvious. However, if you're one of the teams that has zero available international slots, YOU CAN'T DO THIS. We will almost certainly do this before camp is over (or even half way over). We have done so almost every year since joining MLS. Recent examples are Oba Martins, Djimi Traore, Adam Johansson, Erik Friberg, Micheal Gspurning and Mauro Rosales to name just a handful.
We can find added value in the MLS SuperDraft
This may be less obvious. Every year there are a handful of very good players in the MLS SuperDraft who are not US Citizens. Some are coming directly out of college programs and others (like Jason Banton) sign from abroad and participate in the MLS Combine and SuperDraft. These players regularly fall in the draft simply because they require international roster slots. If you're a team with only one open slot, the cost of drafting a player you may really, really like, but who requires an international slot, may simply be too high. Often, teams simply move on to the next player on their individual "board" and the player slides. We can be there to catch this player, as the cost to us is lower, relatively, due to our big stack of slots. Examples of players on THE SBI 2014 MLS DRAFT BIG BOARD who might fit this mold:
#9 PEDRO RIBEIRO, Coastal Carolina, Central Midfielder - Tall and rangy central midfielder with impressive vision and technical ability, Ribeiro would be higher on the board if he were American, but as all foreign players do, Ribeiro takes a bit of a hit for eventually counting as a foreign player. That still won't keep him from going in the first round, and he could definitely crack the Top 10.
#20 ROMENA BOWIE, VCU, Central Midfielder - Jamaican midfielder is a quality two-way player who has impressed for the past two years and would be much higher on this list if not for his international status.
A past example is Andy Rose, who only just got his green card during the summer. Rose was drafted by RSL with the 6th pick of the first round of the 2012 Supplemental Draft - essentially an early third round pick - despite being 6'2", athletic, and having come out of a top college program, UCLA.
Adrian Hanauer must be giddy right now. After a couple of years of trying to build a winning hand with few chips left to play, he is sitting behind the big stack. Via a flurry of roster moves and trades this winter, the Sounders have cleared acres of cap space, acquired chests full of allocation sparklies, hold the #2 pick in the Allocation Draft, AND have a nearly-full compliment of international roster slots. When the current eiree silence ends - and it will end soon - expect some exciting Sounders moves. Ready your yachts my friends, this is going to be good.
