124 Best Dishes
We scoured the city for the top offerings on Chicago's world-class restaurant scene. From appetizer through dessert, from über haute pineapple rum soup to down-home juicy fried chicken, here's your road map to the 124 yummiest dishes around.
(page 7 of 9)
Deviled eggs from Fulton's on the River
One Sixtyblue
Executive chef Martial Noguier wraps thick medium-rare lamb loin medallions in savoy cabbage—a nod to Alsace—and then in thin crisp pastry. The whole shebang comes on a purée of sweet potatoes with cipolline onions and roasted garlic. An excellent retro dish done with finesse. 1400 W. Randolph St.; 312-850-0303 [$32]
This dessert-like breakfast doesn't skimp on the sugar. Golden, ricotta-stuffed slabs of chai tea-infused French toast are bathed in an intensely sweet chai-tea reduction sauce and topped with caramelized apples. Syrup is not only unnecessary—at this point, it's a liability. 3231 N. Clark St.; 773-549-4400 [$9]
You know those big scary oysters you can get in Chinatown? Here's what the chefs at Phoenix do with them. They perfectly bread and fry them crisp on the outside, somehow managing to keep them juicy and full of ocean flavor inside. There's no shame in using a knife and fork for these beasts. 2131 S. Archer Ave.; 312-328-0848 [$12]
Prairie Grass Cafe
This version of the tired brunch staple is an excellent demonstration of how to update a classic. Two well-poached eggs wobble atop a layer of vibrant sautéed spinach; smoky-salty nuggets of premium Nueske's bacon season the dish from the inside out; and the roasted-tomato hollandaise hits a tangy, unifying high note. 601 Skokie Blvd., Northbrook; 847-205-4433 [$10.50]
Red Light
Red Light's signature seafood offering takes the concept of "fish fry" to a whole new, lifelike level. Chef Jackie Shen batters and deep-fries an enormous whole catfish, then presents it dorsal-fin-side up in a way that suggests it might swim right off your plate. Filleted tableside, the lush, steaming meat is well matched with an aromatic red vinegar sweet-and-sour sauce. 820 W. Randolph St.; 312-733-8880 [$34]
Riccardo Trattoria
You'd be hard pressed to find this classic Tuscan dish at any other restaurant in Chicago. Thin strips of veal honeycomb tripe are braised with onions, tomatoes, celery, carrots, garlic, white wine, a smidgen of smoked bacon, and basil. Topped with grated Parmesan, this rendition exemplifies true Tuscan heartiness, right in the heart of Lincoln Park. 2119 N. Clark St.; 773-549-0038 [$16]
Sage Grille
The idea of the pineapple upside-down cake, an American classic, gets turned sideways with this gingerbread and pear upside-down cake. Moist gingerbread topped with glazed poached pears and golden raisins comes with cinnamon crème anglaise and fresh pear sorbet. After a few bites, you'll never look back. 260 Green Bay Rd., Highwood; 847-433-7005 [$8]
When Salbute's chef Edgar Rodriguez ran out of spuds while making potato pancakes for his nieces at home, he reached for the next best thing—jicama—and his signature dessert was born. Light and fluffy, these delicate, sweet, and starchy pancakes pair beautifully with purple tomatillo sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All accidents should turn out so well. 20 E. First St., Hinsdale; 630-920-8077 [$9.50]
CRAB CAKES (also in entrée portions)
Sam & Harry's
A world better than at most steak houses, these thick, crabby crab cakes are held together with aïoli—no filler—and served with sharp and addictive lemon tartar sauce. They come in appetizer and entrée portions, and you might be tempted to order both. Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center, 1551 N. Thoreau Dr., Schaumburg; 847-303-4050 [$14/appetizer; $28/entrée]
Sapori Trattoria
Six gorgeous, rustic, hand-formed pasta packets, bursting with lighter-than-air pumpkin filling, would likely taste delish on their own. Throw in fried sage leaves, sautéed pine nuts, and a dice of cara-melized squash on a plate awash in burnt butter sauce and accept the fact that you have no willpower. 2701 N. Halsted St.; 773-832-9999 [$17]
Sarah's Pastries & Candies
Big squares of sweet—but not too sweet—chewy goodness move toffee out of the candy case and onto the cookie plate. They come plain or tantalizingly half dipped in chocolate. Do what you want, but there's really no contest. 70 E. Oak St.; 312-664-6223 [$16/pound]

What's with the total lack of South Side restaurants? Except for a few places in Chinatown, you don't have a single dish from the South Side...
Re: South Side restaurants...
It's always been that way, in magazines and the newspaper. Apparently there is no place worth eating on the South Side.
Jeez, your best appetizer is a part of an otherwise overwhelmingly Americanized 12-course meal. You can get a more authentic "One-Bite Salad" at Spoon Thai on Western for, IIRC, $6.00. Oh, and it feeds four people as part of a multi-course meal that you'd have trouble spending $85.00 on. Oh, and that $85.00 is for four.
Ask for the translated Thai menu and you'll be transported to Thailand.
the brisket sandwich at Cooper's - smoky, succulent, delicious...& don't forget about those fries..
For those of us foodies on the South Side I agree we were not represented at all. Yes we do have some wonderful restaurants but they are few and far between. Are people not willing to make the trek out south ? Yes we do need MORE restaurants to take advantage of the reasonable rents and to give the communities a chance to experience good quality food.
can someone please actually recommend some south side restaurants (instead of just griping about lack of representation)?
should we go throught the list of South Side city & suburban locations.
Negro League Cafe
Ragin Cajun
Dixie Kitchen
Chi Tung
The Pit
Or should I continue
The southside has no representation because if its not fried its not on the southside. And The Pit should never be counted as good food unless you have never tasted real BBQ
Have you try Amelia's at 4559 S. Halsted will be nice to see one of their dishes in the made just for north side magazine.

"No flour, no Torah; no Torah, no flour." – Pirkei Avot 3:21
Chocolate Rum Layers
¾ cup parve margarine
1⅓ cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking soda
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
⅔ cup rum
⅔ cup water
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease two 8-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper. Grease the paper and dust with cocoa.
Cream the margarine on low speed using an electric mixer. Add the sugar and blend going from low to medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together. Mix them into the batter, alternating between dry and liquid.
Divide the batter equally between the two pans. Place foil strips around the edges of the pans for even baking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven. Cool completely before frosting.
Chocolate Liqueur Frosting
2½ cups confectioner's sugar
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa
⅓ cup parve margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup good chocolate liqueur, such as Godiva Original
½ cup warm water
Cream the margarine and sugar together until smooth. Add the cocoa, then the vanilla. Slowly add the liqueur and just enough warm water to make the frosting easily spreadable.
To frost the cake, place strips of waxed paper underneath the outside edge of the bottom layer. Spread frosting over the entire top. Cover with the second layer aligning the edges. Spread frosting of the top and sides filling in any gaps between the layers. Remove the waxed paper strips.
Makes one frosted two-layer cake.
I baked this cake for Yom Ha'Atzmaut from Rabbi Jan Kaufman's original recipe. She uses Crisco (parve shortening). I prefer margarine. If you use Crisco, decrease the amount 1 tablespoon per cup of margarine. You can omit the rum in the cake and the chocolate liqueur in the frosting, if you like, replacing them with water. The result will be good, but much less complex flavors. I've increased the overall amount of liquid in the frosting to increase spreadability. You might want less. Use your judgement.

There are rumors that Atlanta Hawks on the verge of a deal for Jamal Crawford trade for Speedy Claxton and Acie Law to the Warriors. This deal clearly says that they are going to draft a point guard. In my opinion the Hawks are going to cut Mike Bibby and move Flip Murray to point guard, and Jamal Crawford takes Murray's place of being Joe Johnson's backup.
This is a great deal for the hawks, they get a better value, and they narrow the selection for the 19th pick in the draft

Nov. 1, 2009
CONWAY, S.C. – The Coastal Carolina University baseball fall practice wrapped up Nov. 1 with game two of the 2009 Chanticleer World Series. The Teal team won the event, defeating the Black team 7-5 and winning the two-game aggregate 14-9.
The Teal team jumped out to four runs in the first inning. Rico Noel and Chance Gilmore walked to open the inning. Noel stole third and scored on a single from Tom LaStella. Hayes Orton then would drive in two runs with a single to right. The fourth run would score as Josh Conway, who walked and went to third on the Orton single, scored on a wild pitch. Teal would score twice in the third on a two-run home run from Jose Iglesias.
The Black team came back with a run in third on a solo shot from Steve Davis. Rich Sanguinetti would match that for Teal in the top of the fourth with a solo shot to left center. The Black team would score three runs in the bottom of the fourth, sending eight men to the plate. Scott Woodward singled, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on a single from Taylor Motter. After Luke Schlechte walked, Daniel Bowman scored Motter on a single. Josh Keener then grounded to third but Bowman beat the throw to second, allowing Schlechte to score.
The Black team ended the scoring in the seventh as Davis singled home Motter with one out, but Keener lined to the pitcher Conway, forcing Bowman at third and ending the game.
LaStella and Orton had two hits apiece for Teal, while Woodward had three hits and Davis and Bowman had two hits apiece for the Black team. On the mound, Anthony Meo struck out three in 3 1/3 innings. Stefan Del Pino and Jim Birmingham struck out four apiece for the Black team.
The 2010 Coastal Carolina baseball season starts Friday, Feb. 19 with the Caravelle Resort Tournament. Coastal faces West Virginia at 4 p.m.

I have a regular cleaner that clean
every week my flat. This services (endoftenancycleaners.net) helps me a lot and saves me a lot
of time. Thanks!
I`m very pleased with the services from End of Tenancy Cleaners.As a
landlord this is the second time I use their service. They arrived on
time and the job was done very quickly and professional. The best part is the price (only 140 for two bedroom flat). Thank you boys!
I have a flat to rent and always expect perfect cleaned flat after my tenants leave. I made very big research in the Internet and I also asked friends and friends of friends. After all I had suggestions for two companies which I suggested to my tenants. My last tenants left one week ago and they used End of Tenancy Cleaners. I can say that my property was perfect cleaned and I had no complains about anything. Every place that is usually missed to be cleaned was clean. I am very pretentious and I always have at least one note about the after tenancy cleaning. This time I must admit that I had no complains at all, I can even think that I can recommend End of Tenancy Cleaners to all my next tenants and to some of my friends that are landlords.
Thanks for the well done job!
moving all the furnitures I had to call professional cleaners to do
the end of tenancy cleaning. I choose End Of Tenancy Cleaners (find
them on google) as their offer as the cheapest. They did superb job
and I got my deposit back. If I have to change houses again I'll call
Last week I used their after party cleaning service. I made not so big party but still after that my home wasn't in it's best condition. The cleaners did very good job and refreshed it in almost no time.
I had to change houses, my contract for the place I lived expired and last weekend I moved. I used end of tenancy cleaners for the final cleaning, they did very good job, cleaning all the corners in the house. I got my deposit back from the landlord and we were both happy.
My sister used this company when she changed her flat. She lives next to me now so I have some observations over movers' work. What impressed me the most was how fast they unloaded everything and put it on the place where my sister wanted.
I used their one off cleaning service. The results were OK and the price was quite affordable. I find it very easy way to have you home cleaned without any effort from my side.
Yesterday I moved out of my old flat and I trusted End of Tenancy Cleaners to perform the end of tenancy cleaning that was required according to my contract. Outstanding job. My landlord was amazed with the job done and there wasn't any reason to not give me back my deposit. I am very happy with the help I received by this company. Thank you!

Leave It on the Floor (2011)
directed by
Sheldon Larry
featuring Ephraim Sykes, Miss Barbie-Q, Phillip Evelyn, James Alsop, Andre Myers
A young man left to make his own way in the world finds a place where he belongs in this independent musical drama from first-time director Sheldon ... Show synopsis A young man left to make his own way in the world finds a place where he belongs in this independent musical drama from first-time director Sheldon Larry. Twenty-two year old Brad (Ephraim Sykes) is suddenly homeless when his mother learns that he's gay and throws him out of the house. Not sure what to do next, Brad is wandering the streets when he meets a man who catches his eye, Carter (Andre Myers). It isn't long before Brad discovers Carter has picked his pocket, and he follows him into a warehouse, determined to get his money back. But while the building is plain on the outside, on the inside drag performers are staging a ball where the artists compete to be the most impressive and outrageous dancers or models, posing either as iconic female characters or stereotypes of the straight world; Brad is immediately taken with the surroundings and is befriended by Princess (Phillip Evelyn), a performer who sees raw talent in Brad. Brad moves in with Princess and Queef Latina (Miss Barbie-Q) in their communal home, the House of Eminence, and Brad finds love and support in his new environment, but also plenty of drama. Leave It On The Floor was an official selection at the 2011 Frameline Film Festival. Mark Deming, Rovi

UPDATES w Seatgeek info below
TiQiQ.com, a leading secondary ticket market research analyst, sent me Super Bowl ticket updates about 2 seconds after the buzzer tonight:
The current average list price is $4,063.62, up 18.89% since Jan 6th ($3,448.79)
The average sales price is currently $3,632.15
NY (27%), NJ (19%), and WA (14%) are the states that have been visiting our Super Bowl page the most
The current get in price is $2,110 (Upper Endzone Corner 348)
The lowest priced in the Mezzanine is $2,929 in Sec 226
The lowest priced in the Lower Level is $2,980 in Sec 149
The most expensive seat currently listed is in the Lower Club 113 for $29,900+
The most expensive suite currently listed is at $1,019,000+ with the cheapest available at $575,000+ (both 30 ticket suites)
from SEATGEEK
"In terms of both average and median prices, Super Bowl XLVIII is shaping up to be the most expensive Super Bowl in recent memory. The game's median ticket price of $3,298 and average price of $3,721 both are tops in price when compared to median and average prices for the past three Super Bowls (as recorded on the night of the conference championships).
Even on the cheap end of things, this game currently stands as the most expensive Super Bowl we've recorded. We've yet to see a single ticket on the secondary market sell for under $2,000 — a price that is $500 more expensive than what the cheapest ticket sold for on conference championship Sunday during each of the past three NFL playoffs.
For high-rollers, we've seen listing prices edge into the $1,000,000 range — with one full suite on the Commissioner's Level listed for an eye-popping $1,019,170 (picture here). Just as context — that same Commissioners Level suite costs (by comparison) a mere $350,000 for one entire season of Jets or Giants football.
There are over 12,000 tickets listed on secondary markets as of Sunday night — representing roughly 15% of the capacity at MetLife Stadium.
That said, despite these lofty prices — we still would expect prices to fall from this point on. The 72 hours immediately following the conference championship games are by far the most active in terms of ticket sales. In each of the past three years, roughly 30% of all Super Bowl tickets were sold in that 72 hour window. During the final two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, it's also the time when prices are highest.
In each of the past two NFL postseasons, we've seen prices in the 24 hours prior to kickoff weigh in at 40-50% less than what prices were the Sunday of the conference championships. So we would advise any consumers still shopping for tickets to hold tight and wait as prices are likely to trend down over the next few weeks as gameday inches closer."

text: Improving Markets Statistics Soar Above 100A monthly report on cities with healthy housing conditions shows significant progressBy Shelley D. Hutchins The NAHB/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI) took a big jump in November with 125 cities making the list. That number is 22 higher than October's total. The IMI expanded geographically as well, with an increase from 33 to 38 states plus the District of Columbia. Several of the newly included metropolitan areas are found in California, signifying that the struggling markets throughout that state might be seeing more relief in the near future. Other new additions represent a wide range of locations and densities, including Charlotte, N.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Gainesville, Ga.; Omaha, Neb.; New Orleans; and Lewiston, Idaho.The IMI judges which metropolitan areas are experiencing sustained healthy market conditions based on employment growth, housing price appreciation, and single-family permit growth statistics gathered from independent agencies. If all three of these indicators remain healthy for six months or more within a metropolitan area, then that city is added to the list. The IMI has shown steady growth for three consecutive months, which NAHB chief economist David Crowe believes demonstrates a positive overall turnaround for housing. "The solid increase in the number of improving housing markets this month," he states in the NAHB's report, "illustrates the degree to which the housing recovery has gained momentum since we initiated the IMI last year."

it's officially that time of year when we're straddling seasons: summer brights suddenly feel silly, but it's not yet cool enough for full-on fall layers. so i've got a little of everything in here: lace-up sandals, meet color-blocked skirt (black and navy, every new york girl's favorite combo!), meet autumn-auburn blouse. plus a bag passed down from my great-grandmother ~ for me, the best part.

If you're like me, you've probably heard of the Spider storage engine, but not used it yet.
While it has been available for some years now, I just simply haven't used it before until now.
I suspect that has to do with ease of installation. Previously, one had to compile it with MySQL in order to use it, which excludes a lot of people. However, in MariaDB 10.0 (as of 10.0.4), it is very easy to add and use.
And with MariaDB 10.0.8 being declared RC, combined with Spider's sheer usefulness, I only suspect its usage will become more and more widespread.
What is the Spider storage engine, and why will it be useful?
"The Spider storage engine is a storage engine with built-in sharding features. It supports partitioning and xa transactions, and allows tables of different MariaDB instances to be handled as if they were on the same instance. It refers to one possible implementation of ISO/IEC 9075-9:2008 SQL/MED. When a table is created with the Spider storage engine, the table links to the table on a remote server. The remote table can be of any storage engine. The table link is concretely achieved by the establishment of the connection from a local MariaDB server to a remote MariaDB server. When more than one Spider storage engine table can be used by the same connection, the connection is shared."
This is quite flexible, and given that, you can achieve a lot with spider, including federated, sharding, high availability, and background search (the last expected to be fully implemented by the time MariaDB 10.0 is declared GA).
How to install spider?
This is quite simple as the files needed are now included with the MariaDB distribution. In the /share directory, you will see a file named: install_spider.sql
You just need to import this, and there you go:
mysql -uroot -p -P3315 < install_spider.sql
For those interested in the behind-the-scenes, this creates the following 6 system tables (in 'mysql' schema):
spider_link_failed_log spider_link_mon_servers spider_tables spider_xa spider_xa_failed_log spider_xa_member
And it automatically loads the .so or .dll plugin (depending if you're running on Linux or Windows), thus afterward, SHOW ENGINES should report the following:
mysql> show engines; +--------+---------+------------+--------------+------+------------+ | Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints | +--------+---------+------------+--------------+------+------------+ | SPIDER | YES | Spider ... | YES | YES | NO | ...
The most simple example is accessing a table on another instance.
Let's say you have this remote table you want to access:
CREATE TABLE s(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, code VARCHAR(10), PRIMARY KEY(id));
Then on the local server, where Spider is enabled, issue:
CREATE TABLE s(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, code VARCHAR(10), PRIMARY KEY(id)) ENGINE=SPIDER COMMENT 'host "127.0.0.1", user "chris", password "xxxxx", port "3314"';
Now you can SELECT from this table, or INSERT into it (which will write to the remote instance), etc.
INSERT INTO s(code) VALUES ('a');
This is very straight-forward, and really it's just the tip of the iceberg. The MariaDB KB article on the Spider storage engine has quite a bit of info and examples, so if you're interested, please see:
Hope this helps.

A Worried George Stephanopoulos Pushes for Republican Compromise, Hits GOP Rep's 'Double Standard'
A worried George Stephanopoulos on Thursday again pushed for Republicans to accept some sort of Democratic compromise on extending unemployment benefits and the Bush tax cuts. The Good Morning America host even hit a Republican Congressman for his "double standard" on the issue.
Stephanopoulos interviewed incoming House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen. Yet, despite the fact that it was Republicans who won an overwhelming victory in November, Stephanopoulos hectored Camp on extending jobless benefits.
He lectured, "Congressman Camp, this is a lifeline for the people on unemployment right now and it's important to our economic recovery." After Van Hollen asserted that Republicans don't want to pay for tax cuts, Stephanopoulos focused on Camp and echoed, "That does seem to be a double-standard, Congressman."
The former Democratic operative turned journalist fretted about the possible consequences of not striking a deal on unemployment and taxes: "Congressman, I have to say, let me stop you one second. I'm listening to both of you right now. And this is similar talking points, what we've heard from each side for several weeks and months, right now. The clock is ticking."
Over the last two weeks, Stephanopoulos has repeatedly pressured Republicans to compromise. On November 30, he cajoled John McCain, "Are you prepared to move the President's way for any items on his agenda?
Although the journalist did ask one tough question of Van Hollen on Thursday, he has rarely pushed the Democrats, who in 2010 lost at least 63 seats in the House, on how they are going to compromise.
Also on Thursday, GMA featured a covert liberal operative and passed her off as just a jobless American.
A transcript of the December 2 segment, which aired at 7:06am EST, follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We're now going to talk to two of the men, two of the six men trying to decide all of this, meeting behind closed doors on Capitol Hill. Congressman, Dave Camp, Republican of Michigan, Democrat Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. Gentleman, thanks to you both. We heard Jon Karl say, so far, no tangible progress in your negotiations. Congressman Camp, let me start with you. Are you making any progress? What specifically have you agreed on? Disguised
ABC GRAPHIC: Gridlocked Nation: Battle Rages Over Tax Cuts
REP. DAVE CAMP (R-MI): Well, we've really just begun our discussions. And we're really trying to set the parameters of debate and the issues that we're going to face. But I think it's so important that we prevent a tax hike, so we can get the economy moving again and get job creation going again. We've been stuck at high unemployment for more than 15 months. And so, that's why this is such a critical time. We're talking. And we're going to continue to do that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And Congressman Van Hollen, I know one of the tough things for Democrats is extending the unemployment benefits. Many Republicans say they want to do that. They want to see it paid for, including Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts. He came up with a proposal yesterday, saying just take the money that is sitting around inside government coffers right now and isn't being spent. Here's what he said.
SENATOR SCOTT BROWN: Bank account. Credit card. How about you folks up there? Bank account, credit card. Okay? I know what I want to do. I'll use the bank account. Let's take- Let's use money that's already in the system and put it to good use immediately.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What's wrong with that?
CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D-MD): George, is that you?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Yeah. Go ahead. Respond.
VAN HOLLEN: Well, we need to- right away today, pass the unemployment compensation. We had a vote in the House a short time ago. Unfortunately, our Republican colleagues did not support it. As your economist said, when you're in economic downturn, we have traditionally made sure that people who are thrown out of work through no fault of their own can get unemployment compensation. It makes no sense in the world to taking money out of the economy at the same time when you're trying to make sure there is a push in the economy, through making sure these people continue to have the ability to pay their rent, go to the store and put food on the table. So, that's why we have the so-called counter-cyclical impact of unemployment compensation to begin with.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Congressman Camp, this is a lifeline for the people on unemployment right now and it's important to our economic recovery.
CAMP: Well, George, as Scott Brown said, we want to do this in a responsible way. Republicans are for extending unemployment benefits. And if we're serious about it, let's us have an opportunity to vote on a bill that is paid for. In the House, what's done is they bring a bill, but it's restricted. We can't vote for an unemployment bill that's paid for. Let us do that. If they do that, I'm sure it will get bipartisan support. It will pass, no problem.
STEPHANOPOULOS: No way to pay for it, Congressman Van Hollen?
VAN HOLLEN: But, George, we were talking about the tax issue a little earlier. You have to pay for about $13 billion in emergency unemployment compensation for people out of work through no fault of their own. But they want a permanent extension of tax cuts for the folks at the very top, which adds $700 billion. And they don't want to pay one dime for that. So, this is the kind of conversation we've been having up and hopefully we can sort our way though it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That does seem to be a double-standard, Congressman.
CAMP: Well, it's about preventing a tax hike. And that's the issue. It's about preventing a tax hike. These are benefits we want to see paid for. We have got an opportunity to do that. If we could get a chance to vote on a tax bill that actually prevented the tax hike, I'm sure it would pass. But again, they're going to bring a bill to the floor that's restricted. We don't have an opportunity to offer something that actually will have a working majority and move it on.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Congressman, I have to say, let me stop you one second. I'm listening to both of you right now. And this is similar talking points, what we've heard from each side for several weeks and months, right now. The clock is ticking. We're right up against these deadlines. And you two are actually in the room negotiating a deal. It sounds like you're farther apart than ever. Bottom line, are you going to reach a deal or not?
VAN HOLLEN: Well, George, we're working very hard to do it. But the first thing we need to do is work through the process. The President and the House, the Democrats have a very clear position on this. We want to make sure that we expand tax cuts for the middle class. And I should also point out that every that single American gets a tax break from that. In fact, under that plan, if you're over $250,000, you still benefit from all the tax relief up to $250,000. So, every American gets tax relief. It's just they don't get this bonus per $100,000 average for millionaires, tax cut. So, that is our position. Now, whether we can get that through the Senate is another question. And we've begun these conversations in the event that we're not able to move immediately on those middle class tax cuts, which is the fiscally responsible thing to do.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Congressman Camp, you get the last word.
CAMP: George, yeah. iIt's not about the deal. It's about getting the right policy. And frankly, if we don't get this done, the first thing I'm going to do as chairman of the Ways and Means committee is bring a bill that extends, makes sure we don't have a tax hike for any American.
VAN HOLLEN: Yeah and that will add $700 billion to the deficit at the same time we're trying to get our fiscal house in order. We have a debt commission about to report on the crisis we're facing.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I gotta say, we're out of time. I had hope for a deal before the conversation than afterwards. But, thank you both for joining us this morning.

Georgie boy knows as well as everybody else that if unemployment doesn't get extended again, the dems will have forfeited their biggest attraction to their party: free money. Then people will start wanting jobs. Obama can't produce jobs, so people will turn to the republican agenda, which will create an economy that will produce jobs. Dems don't want to lose their base, ya know.

I wish the GOP would start refuting that lie because you hear it everywhere from the Dems and in the media. It only increases the deficit if they increase spending levels AS IF they had that 700 billion in revenue. Democrats amaze me. They blow trillions with nothing to show for it, and call that "investments." But allowing citizens to keep more of their own money suddenly becomes an "expense" that must be paid for. And does anybody think that if the government got that extra 700 billion in revenue, they would use it to reduce the deficit?

They assume that they will be able to raise the taxes and that equals to 700 billion more, but all they need to do is cut spending. These idiots don't live in the real world and pander to idiots who don't know what a budget is. Look at the general public and their addiction to credit and overextending themselves; probably myself included.
The politicians pander to an audience who don't understand when you have no money you must stop spending. Or the idea we must set forth budgets to see what our money is doing. In stead most people spend their paycheck until it is gone and hope the next one comes in time to pay next months bills, or even previous bills.

If you are involved in a traffic accident and not belted in properly, you may be thrown against the windshield, dashboard or other hard surfaces. Ejection from a motor vehicle creates a substantial risk of fatal injury so a lap belt or shoulder strap may be the reason that you survive a collision.
Although California law makes the failure to wear a seatbelt a primary offense, many people elect not to buckle up for safety. Primary seatbelt laws provide an independent basis for the police to stop a driver and issue a traffic citation while police can only pull over or ticket a driver in a secondary offense state if the driver has committed some other violation of law.
Seatbelts are 50 percent effective in preventing severe injury and wrongful death in car accidents involving negligent drivers, unsafe roadways, defective vehicles and other collisions. Primary seatbelt laws promote higher rates of seatbelt use. While 88 percent of vehicle occupants wear safety belts in primary law jurisdictions like California, the rate is almost 10 percent lower in states that make seat belt use a secondary offense according to the CDC.
The importance of wearing seatbelts is two-fold. While the primary function of your vehicle safety restraint system is to minimize the seriousness of your injuries, their use will also protect the value of your San Diego auto accident injury claim.
California and a number of other states recognize the seatbelt defense. Failure to wear a seatbelt is an affirmative defense in a car accident personal injury lawsuit. If the insurance company is able to establish that a reasonable person would have worn a seatbelt and that failure to wear a seatbelt resulted in more serious injuries, this may result in a reduction in damages. Expert testimony is required on the issue of one's injuries and whether seatbelt use would have mitigated one's injuries.

"Hoards" or "caches" refer to collections of objects which were intentionally gathered together and buried underground. Discovered after decades, centuries, or even thousands of years, ancient hoards give us a glimpse into the past that is unlike almost any other kind of archaeological deposit: a purposefully-created collection of related objects found in the exact manner in which they were deposited.
Earliest Hoards and Hoarding
The oldest hoards identified to date are associated with the hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period of Europe and Paleoindian period of the Americas beginning about 10,000 years ago.
In Europe, hoards included perishable items such as foodstuffs and meat joints, and precious items such as Baltic amber beads and human remains. Hoards were often placed into watery areas, sometimes in ceramic vessels. Personal ornaments and weapons were also important elements of Mesolithic and later Neolithic hoards. In the Americas, hoards such as the East Wenatchee site and the Fenn Cache mostly contained finished and unfinished stone tools, suggesting they may have been cached by tool makers.
Hoarding for reasons of personal wealth also signaled a change in human behavior, if that is indeed what took place, emphasizing wealth accumulation and social stratification. Caching would have been a necessary part of a mobile hunter-gather living strategy; or as a protection against intruders.
Hoarding Through History
Later hoarding behaviors are apparently more diverse. Mesopotamian votive hoards such as the Asmar Sculpture Hoard (3rd millennium BC), appear to have been religious offerings. In Egypt, mummy caches such as the Cache at Deir el Bahri (circa 1000 BC) were created by New Kingdom priests to protect royal mummies from looting. Hoards of bronze vessels created during the Zhou dynasty of China appear to have resulted from political instability as wealthy Zhou families fled eastward in the 8th century BC.
These categories are not exclusive, and interpretations of hoards vary. "Hoarding behavior" is a pretty much universal human trait, and so archaeologists interested in hoards can be found on every continent.
Examples: East Wenatchee Site (Washington, USA), Cuerdale Hoard and Staffordshire or Ogley Hay Hoard (UK), Cache at Deir el Bahri (Egypt), Asmar Sculpture Hoard (Iraq), Tekke Hoard (Crete), Fröslunda Hoard (Sweden).

Hendricks County Flyer
SPEEDWAY — For the Cascade girls' basketball team, returning to the Speedway gym has plenty of bad sectional memories and the Cadets added another on Saturday.
After defeating West Central Conference rival Monrovia in the regular season, the Bulldogs avenged that loss with a 55-41 win over the Cadets. Cascade coach Don Helmick said a long layoff coupled with Friday night's delay certainly didn't help his team.
"We looked a step slow and have had one game in three weeks," Helmick said. "We were just not here for most of the game. We were in it for spurts."
Roxanna Gaddis led Cascade with 16 points and Sydney Stein tallied 13, however, early on the pair was the only Cadets to score until late in the half.
Cascade's Audra Smallwood hit a basket with 1:49 remaining in the second quarter to pull the Cadets within four points at 20-16.
At the break, Cascade trailed Monrovia 22-20.
"We told them at halftime that we never said Stein had to score every point and for some reason they kept forcing it to her," Helmick said. "That's a concern when you only have two girls scoring and then they clamp the defense down on them, well, someone had to step up. We had girls willing to do that, but we didn't hit the shots."
Cascade forced Monrovia's two biggest inside weapons — Raven Delph and Kristal Smith — out by the end of the half with three fouls each, but the Bulldogs' teammates answered in their absence.
"They hit some shots and had some girls step up that ordinarily aren't as consistent," Helmick said.
Monrovia outscored Cascade 13-7 in the third including an important 7-0 run to close the quarter when the Cadets closed to within four points.
Stein was leading the team in scoring headed to the fourth and picked up her fifth foul with 7:45 remaining. Cascade scrambled at a frantic pace at both ends, but could not find consistent offense down the stretch.
Cascade loses four seniors — Stein, Gaddis, Mallorie Smith and Audra Smallwood — and their contributions will be difficult to replace. The group was the first in Helmick's 14-year tenure that finished all four years with a conference title and winning seasons to show for their efforts.
"You want to win these games and create some good memories, but in the whole scheme of things, it's to be a student-athlete first and those four girls are student-athletes first and something the school can be proud of," Helmick said. "I told them unless you win a state title, you would have this feeling somewhere along the line."

Of course, now I'm awake and trying to decide if I should go back to bed or play WoW for a while. On top of it, I was told I have the Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm on pre-order as a b-day gift, so it may be worthwhile to jump in and start researching some of the new changes...
...see how it is?
::wry grin:: I should be asleep. I'm not.
If you're reading, what the heck are you doing awake and did you dream about dragons?

1. How will Ryan Kesler perform in his much-anticipated return?
Kesler hasn't played in about ten months after undergoing shoulder surgery and wrist surgery over the summer. He'll make his season debut tonight against the Dallas Stars. It couldn't be better timing for the Canucks, who just lost Manny Malhotra for the season. We'll see if Kesler brings his usual game tonight or if there's still rust on those skates.
2. Can the Bruins extend their road winning streak?
Boston has won their last six road games and visits Buffalo having won seven of their last ten. Meanwhile Buffalo has only won a single home game since Opening Night. The Sabres are going to need scoring from more than just Thomas Vanek if they want any chance of earning a victory tonight.
3. Can Claude Giroux finally get things going offensively?
Flyers fans expected big things out of Giroux after his 93-point 2011-12 season and being named to the captaincy in the offseason. However Giroux has only eight points this year and only one in eleven games since Scott Hartnell was lost for the season. A big game from their captain could spark this struggling team.
4. Will new Jet Eric Tangradi stick it to his former team?
The Penguins traded away the depth forward on Wednesday, and Tangradi said it was "about time for a change." If he has any lingering bitterness towards the Penguins he'll be able to take it out on them tonight, though he did admit the situation is a little weird:
"It's kind of like seeing your ex-girlfriend at the bar the next night," he said after practice.
5. Which Sharks team will show up against Chicago?
From Mike Chen at Fear The Fin:
This road trip has the potential to be the catalyst that brings everything together or a disaster that wipes out all the good that came from the team's fast start. The optimistic view is that it forces the team to look at when they've overachieved and underachieved over the past few weeks, then decide just how they're going to knuckle down and claw out of it. Unfortunately, the Sharks historically have either thrived or gone completely off the rails when comes down to the whole "clawing out of crap" part.

Toby Flood cited for alleged tip-tackle
ESPN Staff
January 5, 2013
Does Leicester's Toby Flood deserve a citing and possible ban for this tackle?%]
Recent tip-tackle bans:
Leicester's joy at hitting the Aviva Premiership summit with victory over Worcester on Friday night has been tempered by the news that fly-half Toby Flood has been cited for an alleged tip-tackle on opposite number Andy Goode.
The Tigers climbed to the top of the table with a last-gasp 19-14 victory over the Warriors but it will have come at some cost should Flood be subsequently banned at his Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing in London on Tuesday.
A ban would severely hamper Leicester's push for a Heineken Cup quarter-final place with crucial pool clashes against the Ospreys and Toulouse to come in the next fortnight. A suspension may also impact on Flood's hopes of returning to the England fold for their Six Nations opener against Scotland on February 2.
The 27-year-old sat out England's headline-grabbing victory over New Zealand last month and while he is expected to retain his place in Stuart Lancaster's latest Elite Player Squad that will be announced this week, a ban would likely see Saracens' Owen Farrell and Gloucester's Freddie Burns retained for the clash against the Scots.
In related news, Flood's Tigers team-mate Matt Smith has been handed a Level One Citing for the use of an elbow on Worcester's Alex Grove during the same match. Smith's written warning is treated as a yellow card.
IRB Law on 'tip-tackles' or 'spear tackles':
Law 10.4(j) reads: Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player's feet are still off the ground such that the player's head and/or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play.
A directive was issued to all Unions and Match Officials in 2009 emphasizing the IRB's zero-tolerance stance towards dangerous tackles and reiterating the following instructions for referees:
- The player is lifted and then forced or 'speared' into the ground (red card offence)
- The lifted player is dropped to the ground from a height with no regard to the player's safety (red card offence)
- For all other types of dangerous lifting tackles a yellow card or penalty may be considered sufficient

This is a pretty sensitive topic in my household lately. My husband recently took a new job which requires a lot of travel. So naturally, the kids spend even more time with me! Sometimes I feel like the luckiest person on the planet to curl up on the couch with my kids at the end of the day. Other days, I feel the stress of what a single mom must feel like with no relief in sight.
Days with a 5-year-old and 2-year-old aren't complicated, but they are busy and stressful.
And after a long day of asking and re-asking the kids to or put away their shoes. Then there are time-outs, resulting from one hitting the other. There's yelling because they won't come inside for dinner. Sometimes, there is threatening, bribing, or other things that don't put me in the running for parent of the year.
But whether you're a single mom, or just a parent home alone a lot, you can feel lonely. You might even feel that your kids tune you out. And what it leads to is frustration.
And then what puts even more sting in your wound— walks through the door. I'm at my wits' end, and the kids go running, hugging and so happy to see him. Don't get me wrong, I'm right behind them, grateful he's home safe, but more importantly to give me an extra set of hands.
But because my husband travels, it's up to me to deal with the meltdowns and misbehavior, and they'll probably nickname me "Mean Mommy" sooner than later, as I'm the one who does the time-outs, cajoles them to eat their dinner or takes away their Nintendo. But I'm also the one who kisses the boo-boos, sings songs, does art projects and reads books when I tuck their exhausted bodies into bed at night.
So why is it that if Daddy asks the kids to get their shoes on so we can head out to dinner—BOOM, like magic, shoes are one and they are buckled in their car seats. Why are his words so much more effective? Why do the kids forget I'm also the one that takes them on daily fun excursions to the pool, library, movies, miniature golfing? Why do they tune me out?
Hmm, maybe I need a business trip!
It's consistency. It's not that they don't love me or don't hear me, but they see me constantly. So naturally, I'm the relentless, nagging . Parenting is a tough job, especially if you find yourself in control most of the time.
Maybe I need to just lighten up a little. So what if we're 10 minutes late? Who cares if my play room looks like a landmine? Kids are kids, childhood should fun. Sure they need to eat their vegetables, but perhaps if I use my authority more strategically, it will be more meaningful.
Who is the disciplinarian in your house? Mom or Dad? Or are you lucky enough to have more of a partnership? Tell us in the comments.
