All 4 major carriers in the USA have joined forces in the "It Can Wait" campaign.
AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and Sprint and a number of other businesses and community organizations have joined to help promote safe driving.
The campaign urges drivers to pledge not to text and drive and provides resources and tools to help prevent distracted driving.
"We recognize that technological innovation can help people, but ultimately it's up to the driver to make the right decision. We believe that joining forces with other carriers and the many organizations and businesses involved with the It Can Wait campaign is the right thing to do because it enables us to leverage the companies' resources and helps amplify the awareness message and encourage safe driving," said Jonathan LeCompte, president – Georgia/Alabama Region, Verizon Wireless.
A recent AT&T survey on the behavior of commuters found that texting while driving extends beyond just teens.
Nearly all commuters polled agreed that sending a text or email while driving isn't safe, yet nearly half of them admitted to texting while driving with 43 percent of those who said they text and drive characterizing the act as a "habit."
The survey found that commuters are also texting and driving even more than teens – 49 percent, compared to 43 percent.

Ongoing List of Dudes I "Just Can't" With:
- Those kids who were like really lame in high school who would say shit really loud and obnoxiously just to be disruptive who are like 35 and go to the fucking bar where everyone is trying to watch some fucking Breaking Bad and continue to be loud obnoxious dbags because I guess daddy didn't love them enough and their 35 year old said crusty ass and crusty ass band mates need all the attention they can get.
That Time I Met Lily from HeyLaBodega
So this post was supposed to be written on Sunday after I had the booziest brunch on record with the lovely Lily, but clearly I suck so now you have to read it days later.
Lily is just a ray of beautiful wavy haired, hazely-green eyed sunshine. We got some little frenchy brunch trays and unlimited mimosas and became just the cutest friends. We discussed all sorts of things like my weird recurring boob zit and having curly hair, and online dating. Dear lord, online dating.
She's just a great writer and should be nominated for human of the year, or at least the summer. Go follow her, dudes.
*photo sneakily creeped off of her facebook
I'm having the best "Good Friday" ever. I had a pretty Grand Thursday too. No work, trying a new restaurant in Williamsburg, finally getting caught up on laundry, and enjoying the warm weather. This is happiness, guys.
New York's Craigslist has the Best Free Stuff.
Around the Neighborhood: Dough Doughnuts, Clinton Hill.
The moment I moved to Clinton Hill in Brooklyn, everyone was telling me about the great things to do right down the street. That's part of the charm of Brooklyn, you are in walking distance from great little shops and eateries all the time.
Well the first place that anyone mentioned was Dough Doughnuts. They raved to me about it! "It's Zagat rated!!!" I didn't even know what Zagat was, but I'm now absolutely certain it's a high honor.
Dough makes fresh donuts, EVERY SINGLE DAY. Probably starting at 4 a.m. through close at 7p.m. They have new unique flavors that are rarely associated with donuts. Just look:
The space is small, with only 2-4 seats, so it's kind of a grab and go establishment. But it's really the industrial/warehouse/open feeling that makes the place. There is definitely an experience that it provides that screams "YOU'RE IN BROOKLYN OKAY. WE'RE TOO HIP TO FUNCTION."
I bought the Dulce De Leche for my friend, Brittany, and I got the Cinnamon Sugar one for myself! The donuts are huge, even for my big mouth, and one is more than enough.
So now that I've past on my raving, it's safe to say that I totally recommend this place and if you end up in Brooklyn, you must make an effort to stop in!
Why I Love Taking the Subway
When I first moved to New York (two weeks ago…), I honestly thought I was allergic to the Subway. The moment I was below ground my allergies were alerted and I'd sneeze repeatedly and gross people out.
Now that I'm all acclimated, I still go just short of anaphylactic shock, but I realized that I truly love the Subway!
I like how you have to grip onto grimey poles when there are no seats. Sometimes you can see the fingerprints from the nasty person who touched it before you! With how much hand sanitizer I've burned through, surely the economy has been stimulated!
I especially like when the subway jolts unexpectedly and I fall with my hand on or near someone's crotch! I keep forgetting that my transportation choice is essentially a tin can being kicked down a dirty alley-way.
Have you ever played "everyone's body is made of molten lava?" No? Well it's this great game where you have to be extremely careful not to touch one of the 300 people shoved into your section of the train. It's necessary to make a big deal if someone brushes against you because THEY'RE LAVA! Act like the lava has thumbs and is trying to pick pocket you when they inevitably bump you.
And let's not forget how Charlie Brown's teachers are letting you know what stop is next (except Hoyt-Schermerhorn, which just sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher). I didn't know every stop was called aejfoaifjaopdkvajd, but you learn something new everyday!
But really, it's not so bad. I miss my car, but this is cheap and adventurous, and dangerous, and so NYC.

Terrelle Pryor is eligible for the NFL supplemental draft. On Thursday morning, the NFL ruled Pryor's circumstances had changed, a prerequisite for entry into the draft, and allow him in. But there's a catch. Before stepping foot into the NFL, Pryor is suspended for five games; the punishment he received at Ohio State will come with him to the NFL.
The transfer of Pryor's suspension would seem to boil down to the NFL's fear of setting a dangerous precedent. By letting Pryor in, the NFL would open the door for other athletes to nefariously make themselves eligible for the supplemental draft by breaking an NCAA rule that would make them ineligible in the college ranks. However, in attempting to create a deterrent for players who may consider making an end-run around supplemental draft eligibility rules, the NFL set a different, but still dangerous, precedent.
There's something slimy about the NFL enforcing the rules of the NCAA. Pryor broke an NCAA rule by exchanging memorabilia for tattoos, yet there's no NFL rule against it. And with the NFL reaching into the NCAA and enforcing a rule, the lines between the two organizations -- as well as amateurism and the professional ranks -- are blurred even further.
Pryor can do nothing to fight back. He's left in limbo, in yet another situation where he has to accept the punishment and move on. Fight the suspension and Pryor becomes untouchable, quickly finding himself stone-walled in NFL circles.
It's a bit ironic considering how the suspension came about in the first place -- Pryor and others were allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl, as long as they promised to come back and serve their suspension the following season. At the time, had he decided to leave, skipping the bowl game and his senior season, he wouldn't be in this situation. He's not a victim by any means, but the whole situation reeks of the NFL trying to make an example of him in an effort to preserve the status quo.

There was some thought the Green Bay Packers could place the franchise tag on pending free agent quarterback Matt Flynn in hopes of the NFL's version of a "sign and trade" type deal, but a report from the Green Bay Press-Gazette says that would be very risky and unlikely.
With the franchise-tag deadline drawing near, it's looking like General Manager Ted Thompson is not going to place the Green Bay Packers' franchise tag on backup quarterback Matt Flynn.
As Pete Dougherty notes in his report, the Packers would risk being stuck with Flynn on their roster if there are no takers, paying him $14.4 million guaranteed for the 2012 season. That would be a lot of cash tied up for a back-up quarterback if they were not able to come to terms on a trade to send Flynn elsewhere.

Kawasaki is working on a supercharged four-cylinder bike as a replacement for the mighty ZZR1400. A flurry of new patent documents from the company show enough detail to suggest the idea of supercharging a new high-performance machine is far more than just an engineering exercise.

The Kawasaki W800 impressed during its first ride, but how does it compare against its two closest rivals, the Triumph Bonneville and Moto Guzzi V7 Classic? Read this week's MCN for the full test. brightcove.createExperiences();
04 March 2011 10:27
Our first test of the new Kawasaki W800 suggests that Britain's own Triumph, after five years having things all its own way in the 'retro roadster' class, has a serious new rival on its hands. Not only is the W800 cheaper and better-specced than its closest Bonneville rival, the Kawasaki's uprated engine means there's now no discernible performance difference. brightcove.createExperiences();

Welcome to the City Desk, your one stop for all the political news affecting Saratoga Springs and Saratoga County.
Friday, January 4
2 Comments:
Thanks for posting these - they are interesting and provide a nice overview of a general day - not just what is reported in the various newspapers.
Will you be posting these on a regular schedule ?
Hi Anonymous,
I'm trying to make it a regular schedule. After having a few days off, I post the ones that came while I was gone. So today, I'll publish the blotters from the last three. Sorry, it is going to be as regular as my work schedule, which is not very — as you might imagine.

Building web sites means mastering software, and I share my software knowledge through both public tech writing and private training.
I've written hundreds of paid tech articles as the About.com Expert on Content Management Systems, and I add new articles regularly. I focus on WordPress and Drupal, but I also cover basic CMS concepts. These articles get thousands of hits per day, and they also go out in a free weekly newsletter to over 30,000 subscribers.
Personalized Training
When articles aren't enough, I give personalized training. My web site projects usually include some initial training, but I also love to help other web developers conquer obscure problems. For instance, Aegir is an extremely powerful web-based tool for managing multiple Drupal sites. But the learning curve can be a bit steep, and I've been glad to help other developers get started.
No need to fly me out to your office, of course. We can use whatever mixture you prefer of email, phone, chat, and a free, secure screen-sharing service like join.me. And there's no minimum time or long course to follow; we work together on what you feel you need to know, as much or as little as you like. Drop me a note and let me know what you're struggling with.
Tech Writing
On the other hand, if you yourself are trying to teach, through documentation, I can help you with my professional tech writing services. I can proofread, revise, write from scratch -- whatever you need. I love making complex concepts understandable. Whether you need a few articles or a revamped documentation site, I'd love to help.

The Soviet Union is gone. The Berlin Wall has crumbled. And in his own words, the most dynamic force for capitalism today is the Chinese Communist Party. But Tariq Ali still keeps the faith.
At 68, the Duracell intellectual may not be in his fiery, street-fighting years any longer; but he remains a believer in Marxism — not as a state religion but as a grand idea to change the world — even though talking about it gives him the feeling of discussing "a lost, submerged continent like the Atlantis."
"Marxism, in the way it existed in countries such as Russia and China, is gone. And that is not such a bad thing. Those days sometimes a quote from a Lenin or Marx was enough to end an argument. That was a foolish way of developing an organization. And we paid the price for it. But the ideas of Marx remain very relevant. Today he is on the best-seller list of Europe. People have to go back to him to learn what capitalism is," said Ali, who authored well-known books such as Can Pakistan Survive?, The Nehrus and the Gandhis: An Indian Dynasty, and more recently, Bush in Babylon: The Re-colonisation of Iraq.
He was delivering the Faiz Memorial lecture at the India Habitat Centre's Amphi Theatre on Monday. The moustache is more salt than pepper now and the hair has thinned over the decades. But dressed in a check fawn-coloured jacket over a lemon-coloured shirt, Ali seemed to turn the clock back blending wit with wisdom. His quips often drew applause and laughter at the same time from an audience that seemed to have aged appreciating and admiring him. There were many from 1970s and 1980s JNU, both students and professors; who had interacted with him during his visit to the university then.
Like a deft DJ of political history, the Lahore-born, Oxford educated Leftist shuffled one theme after another: the lost tradition of mushaira in Pakistan, the economic crisis in Europe — "Greece and Italy today are run by bankers appointed by the German government," — the Occupation movement in the USA and the difficulties of coming to Delhi, if you are of Pakistani-origin.
He also found time for Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari, who donated Rs 5 crore to the Ajmer shrine on Sunday. "The president of Pakistan is not religious at all. It's the only thing that can be said in his favour. His religion is money; and usually, other people's money," Ali quipped drawing guffaws. He then said that recently a group of protestors in Lahore unfurled a banner: "Hamari dua, yah Allah Amrika ko bhi apni Zardari dila."
Like a classical Marxist, Ali argued that poets like Faiz are born out of the historical situation and context of the time. Chile's Pablo Neruda and Turkey's Nazim Hikmat, often considered a trinity, with Faiz, grew in the shadow of the sunlight of Russian revolution, he said. "That revolution formed their political consciousness. It was no accident that young men and women writing novels and poetry, thesis, treatise came under the influence of this revolution and wrote some their most amazing poems in the 50 years that followed," he said.
Ali, whose opposition to Pakistan's military dictatorship made him a reluctant exile in England, said that Faiz continues to be read because it has many lessons for us today. "What he was complaining about in the 1940s and 1950s has become an epidemic now. We were shocked when one guy was imprisoned and tortured to death. Now we are so used to death that it is taken for granted. It is the big shift that has happened to the world," he said.
The public intellectual underlined the tradition of reciting and listening to poetry in large public assemblies in Pakistan in the 1950s and 1960s and why it was important the country's social lifeblood. "Poetry for us was not just politics. It was culture on a very high level. Ordinary people had a sense of criticism and they could see through poets very quickly. Poetry came to public space reacted and related to each other. This, if you like, was the civil society of the times," he said. Divas who sang the poems and took them to the masses such Noorjehan singing Faiz and Umm Kulthoon, the greatest woman singer in Egyptian history, also played a critical social role.
Ali recalled a musharia after the first martial law imposed by Field Marshal Ayub Khan in 1958. He said, "Faiz was in jail. And the atmosphere was fearful. Any form of dissent was punishable those days. A great Punjabi political poet Ustad Daman stood up. He recited a love poem and went on discuss birdsongs. We got fed up and heckled him. Finally he lost his temper and recited a poem spontaneously. "Ho gayeen mauja hi mauja, jidhar takko faujan hi faujan which I translated many years later as "now each day is sweet and balmy, wherever you look it is the army." He was picked up the very next day, kept in prison for 10 days and brutalised." Some websites, however, show that the poem goes: Pakistan diyaan mujaan hee maujaan chaarey passay faujaan hee faujan.
In an age of social networking websites, the world listens to poetry in different ways. But Ali believes that technology can be harnessed in favour of the craft. He spoke about Saddam Hussain's Baathist era in Iraq when three great communist poets went into exile. "One went to Damascus, the other to Europe and I don't remember where the third went. But the population of Baghdad missed their poetry. When Iraq was invaded in 2003, they wrote and sent poems to each other. One of them wrote a poem in morning, the other sent back a poetic response in half and hour. And within five hours it was being sent through email and recited in the cafes of Baghdad and Basra. That is how the world has changed. The tradition of poetry is not doing to die; it will take different forms. The poet will remain with us."
What really fascinates Ali, though, is the future of Left and its fate across the world. He is, above all, an interpreter of social change who firmly believes that Marxism, in its essence, is best way to create a decent and just society.
The rise of China has left him with mixed feelings. He finds it ironical that the Chinese Communist Party has launched the most dynamic growth of capitalism in the world today. "The centre of the world market is no longer in the West. It has moved eastwards. That is a huge change but it doesn't mean that all problems are solved. China occupies the position today that was occupied by Britain during the Industrial Revolution. It is the workshop of the world," he said.
But Ali also doesn't shy away from pointing out the possible crisis that unequal growth often brings. He relives an anecdote to make his point. Ali said that a distinguished historian of the Cambridge University was invited to speak to members of the Chinese politburo. "When he wanted to speak, they said, you would have to speak on the subject we decide for you. The subject was: how did Britain avoid a violent revolution in the 19th century. They are not foolish. They know what's going on. They know that the conditions they are creating in China could lead to big upheavals. There have been many peasant uprisings that are not reported. There are factory occupations in small regions. The big fear is what if it spreads," he said.
To Ali, Marx remains as significant as ever. "The character in Greek mythology whom Marx really loved was Prometheus. Prometheus was expelled by the gods and chained to a rock forever for giving earthlings the secret of fire with which they could develop without the gods. If one was writing the obituary of Marx, one would say, like Prometheus, he gave the earthlings fire. If they misused it, that was not his fault."

Charles Eames (1907-1978)
architect - designer
Charles Eames studied architecture at the George Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri, US, from 1924 to 1926. He opened his own office, but did not obtain a lot of success.
In 1936 he asked some architectural advise to the architect and designer Eliel Saarinen and became a close friend of him; he then was offered by him a fellowship at the Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, US. There he had the opportunity to interact with important designers like Eliel Saarinen himself, his son Eero Saarinen, and Harry Bertoia. He also had the opportunity to meet the designer and painter Ray Kaiser with whom in 1941 got married and undertook important design projects that led to the foundation of the Eemes Office, the creative workshop in which the couple established their professional activity.
In 1940 with Eliel and Eero Saarinen, Charles Eames submitted an innovative piece of furniture realised in moulded plywood to a competition sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art. The creation received two awards and attracted the attention of the design company Herman Miller. Charles Eemes, in partnership with Ray Eames, began a commercial collaboration with the company. The objective was the creation of furniture pieces designed in accordance with Herman Miller's mass production manufacturing techniques, and gifted with the virtue of appealing to a vast public.
The work of Charles Eames is to be considered part of the team production in partnership with Ray Kaiser (or Eames) with whom he established a set of design rules and conventions while working alongside with American government bodies that were trying to adapt and mass publish a representation of their image in the attempt to forge a different American culture.
While compromising with official institutions, however, Charles and Ray Eemes also tried to establish and communicate their own creative ideals. Inspired by the work of the world famous European designers Charoltte Perriand and Le Corbusier, they set up a scheme in which their work philosophy was based on the awareness of the relation between functionalism and success in design products devised to benefit the society by generating values. Like many other professional figures involved in industrial design experimentation they developed an understanding of the importance of achieving the production of high quality design pieces at low prices. They created a wide range of furniture that were sold in many copies.

Nickelus F - Follow Me
Artist: Nickelus F
Producer: Elite
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 33 total votes )
It's indeed a strange world when a seemingly simple, two-word phrase can mean either "guiding an audience to something with more substance and meaning" or "can I get some love on Twitter?" Those who even remotely listen to the lyrical content of Nickelus F's latest track, however, will understand that the title "Follow Me" is meant in the former sense, not the latter. Elite is the man responsible for laying down one of the most energetic beats on here that I've heard recently, all while Nickelus does his job to lace his creativity in between the creative production. While this track didn't make it onto F's upcoming project, it definitely deserves to be heard and appreciated by listeners in its own right. Be sure to keep it locked to the Booth for more of Nickelus' mastery, and make sure to look for his Season Premiere project (dropping in May) to decide for yourself whether or not this should have been included.

Quetzalcoatlus (named after the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl); pronounced KWET-zal-co-AT-lus
Skies of North America
Historical Period:
Late Cretaceous (70-65 million years ago)
Size and Weight:
Wingspan of 30 feet and 200-300 pounds
Fish and meat
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Large size; narrow wings; long, pointed beak
About Quetzalcoatlus:
Almost certainly the largest creature--whether bird, insect, mammal or reptile--ever to take to the air, Quetzalcoatlus did credit to the fearsome Aztec god after which it was named. The most impressive species of this giant pterosaur attained wingspans of over 30 feet, and must have been greatly feared by terrestrial critters when they soared down from the sky in search of food. Right? Well, maybe not: a recent analysis of Quetzalcoatlus' anatomy hints that this pterosaur may have led a completely terrestrial existence, stalking its prey on two legs like the contemporary raptors and tyrannosaurs of the late Cretaceous period. (See 10 Facts About Quetzalcoatlus and a gallery of Quetzalcoatlus pictures.)
The fact is, paleontologists are still trying to piece together exactly how Quetzalcoatlus lived. It's generally agreed that, if this reptile indeed flew, it glided rather than flapped its wings, which given its size and presumed cold-blooded metabolism would likely have been an anatomical impossibility. (A recent study concludes that Quetzalcoatlus needed a long, sloping runway in order to take off; otherwise, this pterosaur preferred to launch itself off the edge of cliffs.) Even less certain is how Quetzaloatlus fed; it may have scavenged already-dead carcasses like a vulture, gobbled down fish like a stork, or plucked out unfortunate fish, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs as it skimmed close to the North American shoreline.
As big as it was, Quetzalcoatlus wasn't the only plus-sized pterosaur of the Mesozoic Era, though it vastly outweighed its nearest relatives. The next biggest pterosaur on the block was probably Ornithocheirus, and a pair of genera from South America, Tapejara and Tupuxuara, also cut impressive profiles (and were probably brightly colored as well; we know virtually nothing about how Quetzalcoatlus might have looked at the height of the mating season). By the way, some paleontologists think the European pterosaur Hatzegopteryx may have been even bigger than Quetzalcoatlus, but limited fossil remains make speculation difficult.

Jimmy Haslam will be returning to the family business in his previous position as CEO of Pilot Flying J.
In September, Pilot Flying J hired John Compton to serve as CEO of the company to allow Haslam the time to focus on the Cleveland Browns football team, which he bought last summer.
As Haslam will be returning to Pilot Flying J, Compton will be transitioning into the new role of strategic advisor for the Cleveland Browns, Pilot Flying J and the Haslam family.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Haslam missed his work at Pilot Flying J.
"This is about me realizing my first love is running Pilot Flying J and wanting to return to that job," the newspaper quoted Haslam as saying.

Number of ratings 7 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
He knows his Government and the issues at present. I found it to very interesting. His test was not bad.
If you like lots of extra work that doesn't teach you anything additional, from a teacher who can't write grammatically correct sentences or make a test that he can format properly, and you have to mail all 45-50 papers in to him...then you should take him. If that doesn't sound good...then don't.
Bad grammar, spells states,countries and leader's names incorrectly on tests. Puts down wrong dates. Gives a matching question and leaves the correct answer off. Can't format a Word document so that there is room to write. Makes up fill in the blank questions in his head so that even when you know the material,you can't figure out what he is asking
I agree with the other student about his grammar. Trying to read his sentences is like a puzzle. I can't believe this guy teaches at a college level. Way too many writing assignment, and you have to mail them to him instead of sending them as e-mail attachments. Also won't admit when he makes a mistake. Gets mad when you question him on something.
The most boring class I ever had!!!in some way he will help you out, if you have any questions....but I don't recommend tou take him for an instructor...
Mr.Pelton was kind of dry and out there.but was very nice to the students and really cared
Worse summer class I ever took. He could not format a test. Used bad English. Would not recommend him to anyone.

While an economic think tank declared the U.S. recession ended in June 2009, it doesn't seem as if that happy recovery has hit Glenview yet.
The National Bureau of Economic Research, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit organization which asks economists to crunch data, declared the recession ended and a modest economic expansion began 16 months ago.
With Glenview's tony shops and palatial homes, the impact of the recent recession and lingering economic downturn may not be readily apparent to all. And while it's true the area's wealth and prosperity have served a buffer thus far, the depth and length of the economic crisis has taken its toll – on property values, on sales at local shops, and on its residents, who are increasingly prone to foreclosure and bankruptcy.
The local food pantry reports it is helping more than 600 families, including some who held $500,000 jobs just a few years ago. With sales tax receipts down, local government is having its own struggles, facing a $2.3 million budget shortfall next year that is expected to grow to $3 million by 2013.
The Village of Glenview Budget
At a Sept. 1 public workshop, the Village Board trustees made it clear they would prefer spending cuts to a tax increase as a way to plug its looming budget holes.
The Village is projecting a savings of $819,000 through changes this past year that included staff reductions, outsourcing much of its snow removal and partnering with neighboring towns in contracting services including tree trimming and street sweeping.
"Going forward, we're going to look at doing more multi-government partnering to get better prices on our contracts," said Janet Spector-Bishop, communications director for the village.
The board also expects to bring in $225,000 in new revenue from cell tower leases, a new contract to provide 911 dispatch services for Hainesville, and a decision to open the police station firing range to the public.
But those savings and new revenues have not been enough to balance the budget in lean recession times. One source of revenue, sales tax collections, is projected to be nearly $1.5 million off the 2007 pre-recession numbers, though up $200,000 from last year's low. Cuts to village services, dipping into reserves, further privatization and consolidation and finding new revenues are all on the table.
The board continues its public budget meetings Monday to look at planned capital improvements and will meet Oct. 28 to look at spending in the operating budget. After a Nov. 9 meeting on water and sewer funds, the budget workshop wraps up Nov. 16.
Property Values are Down, Foreclosures are Up
Between 2005 and 2007, there wasn't a single home foreclosure in all of Glenview, according to statistics held by the North Shore Board of Realtors. Currently, there are 73, representing 12 percent of all homes, said Mike Gazdzik, the board's information technology manager. Glenview's foreclosure average is lower than the 23 percent of North Shore homes overall and better still than the 30 to 33 percent nationally, Gazdzik said.
But that is cold comfort to an increasingly desperate set of homeowners, many of whom bought their properties as an asset and investment. Property values in Glenview are down, with average and median homes selling at 25 to 30 percent lower, Gazdzik said.
"Not only is it affecting people with homes, the price at which they are being sold; it's also affecting people's jobs," he said.
Northern Illinois used to have more than 60,000 real estate agents, according to North Shore's statistics. Not there are between 36,000 and 37,000.
"The one area of real estate that has grown, if you want to go there, is short sales and foreclosures."
A short sale is when a homeowner sells a property at a loss, with the permission of the bank, which agrees to accept the lowered price. Between 2005 and 2007, there were three short sales in Glenview. There have been 116 since the start of 2008, with 61 this year alone. The most expensive short-sold home was $2,000,000 and the least expensive was $66,000.
"It's all over the market, Gazdzik said, "It's not hitting just one income bracket."
Food Pantry Sees an Increase in Need – and Frightened New Faces
Before the effects of the recession were felt, in November of 2007, the Northfield Township Food Pantry was serving 345 families, the majority of them chronically poor.
The most recent statistics show an 80 percent increase in demand, with 620 families eligible to use the pantry, which provides basic food staples and other types of emergency assistance to income-eligible residents. Many of the faces are new, said pantry community coordinator Gayle Zalatoras.
"We're seeing people come in who don't know how to sign up for public assistance and for them it can be intimidating, scary, and embarrassing," Zalatoras said. "We try to make it as quick and easy to use as possible so they don't run the risk of people maybe seeing them."
Miguel Nunez, a pantry counselor who works more directly with those in need, said in the past year he's met with people who used to make $500,000 per year or $250,000 per year and owned expensive properties.
"Now they have been unemployed two, three, four years and they have used all their resources, saving and retirement accounts," Nunez said. "These are people who were doing the right thing and accumulating resources and now they are coming to us."
It's not uncommon for them to break down and cry in the office, he said.
"You can tell they have been thinking about coming here for awhile," Nunez said. "But there is no assistance program that will pay a $5,000 mortgage.
Bankruptcies are Up, Particularly "Wage-Earner," or Chapter 13 Filings
As the recession has lingered on, more and more Americans are turning to bankruptcy as a way to clear their debts, including those in Glenview.
There were approximately 35,000 bankruptcies in Cook County in 2007 before the recession hit and between 60,000 and 65,000 are anticipated this year, said Ben Schneider, a bankruptcy attorney serving Glenview.
Much of the growth in bankruptcies is in Chapter 13 bankruptcies, also known as "wage earner" bankruptcies and the type most often favored by the wealthy, Schneider said.
"We are starting to see a lot of Chapter 13 filings by people who find themselves unable to afford the lifestyle they are used to," Schneider said, identifying two primary scenarios that are driving people to bankruptcy.
People who have lost incomes are choosing to pay credit card companies, which are more aggressive about collections, rather than their mortgages. Then they get behind on their mortgages and are faced with foreclosure.
Schneider said additional foreclosures are created when bank employees "dangle a carrot" telling people they might be able to get a modified mortgage – but only after they miss a couple of payments.
"Nobody takes the money they were supposed to be spending on their house payment and saves it," Schneider said, estimating that only one in ten mortgage modifications actually come through and those missed payments lead to foreclosure.
People who file for bankruptcy often are permitted to keep their primary residence.
"That is why we are seeing higher income people filing for bankruptcy," he said.
Commercial Occupancy Rates are Down, but Some Businesses are Still Moving In
All it takes is a drive down Waukegan Rd. to see that vacant commercial property rates are up in Glenview, peaking at 7.2 percent in the first two quarters of this year.
But it could be much worse, said Ellen Dean, economic development coordinator for the Village.
"For the most part, Glenview has fared very well with vacancy rates," Dean said. "Our businesses are established enough that they have been strong enough to hold on."
Long-time business Best Hardware closed, she said, but that was as much a function of increased competition from big box retailers such as Home Depot.
"The recession was the straw that broke the camel's back," Dean said.
The Glen Town Center mall has held a 92 to 93 percent occupancy rate through the recession, she said.
"We haven't had a drastic reduction in business," she said.
It has been a difficult climate for consultants, said Paul Niskasen, whose engineering consulting business has flagged.
"I have lots of friends in the business and it's been a struggle for a lot of people," Niskasen said. "Not just in engineering consulting but all consulting businesses. Consultants are easy to eliminate when you're trying to keep your payroll down."
Also in the mix, Niskasen chose an inopportune time to open another business, PromoResource, which creates promotional products.
"I opened it in the fall of 2008, of all things," he said. "The last two years have been pretty slow."
Another new business in Glenview has been thriving, the Arthur Murray Dance Studio which moved from its decades-long locale in Morton Grove to be closer to many of its students. It opened April 1 of this year on Waukegan Rd.
"Business is great and we are growing and thriving in this new community we love," said Elise Wise, a counselor at the studio.
Business did "plateau" for a while, but it is now growing, Wise said, and the studio now has more than 100 active students.
"People have a need to feel good and be present in the moment and do something physical."
She said dancing is not only recession proof, it's Great Depression proof, noting that Arthur Murray started 98 years ago.
"I feel like we are in a beautiful dance bubble where we are unaffected by the economy," Wise said.

NASCAR's new television deal announced Tuesday is multi-layered. Yet, the essence of the deal with NBC boils down to NASCAR's decision to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in big pond.
It also doesn't hurt that NBC is paying upward of 50 percent more than what ESPN and TNT were paying for its combined portion of the Sprint Cup/Nationwide Series races, according to Sports Business Journal.
Although ESPN has served NASCAR well since resuming its NASCAR coverage in 2007, both in its commitment on the airwaves and the resources invested elsewhere, NASCAR more often than not took a backseat to more traditional programming highlighting stick-and-ball sports.
In many ways, this was to be expected.
After all, the NFL is an entity that attracts more eyeballs than any other sport. Thus explaining ESPN's -- and other sports networks -- push over the last few years to become more NFL-centric.
And it wasn't just pro football NASCAR was fighting for attention with at ESPN. In addition, the "World Wide Sports Leader" has television deals with the NBA and MLB, along with a smorgasbord of college football and basketball games. Often this would cause NASCAR -- particularly Nationwide Series races -- to become lost in the shuffle. The May Nationwide race at Richmond was relegated to obscurity on ESPNews due to an NBA playoff game.
Having to play second fiddle to other properties was a fact NASCAR Chairman Brian France alluded to during a Tuesday teleconference to announce the new television contract.
"Because this is going to be such an important franchise sport for them, made it to be so compelling that it was just the right choice," he said.
Competing against an abundance of content for airtime is something NASCAR will not have to worry about at NBC. Its fledgling NBC Sports channel is still in need of programming to pair with the NHL, English Premier League and limited college football and basketball games. NBC also owns the rights to Formula One and select IndyCar races.
During the Tuesday teleconference, NBC Sports executives continually referred to NASCAR as a "tent-pole property." Furthermore being a lead-in for Sunday Night Football has to be an enticing proposition for NASCAR, which typically sees a fall swoon when the NFL kicks off.
However, NASCAR's decision to discard its association with ESPN does not come without risk. When the NHL left ESPN for the then-named Outdoor Life Network (now renamed NBC Sports) in 2005, hockey coverage became marginalized. Being ostracized is a very real possibility for NASCAR, which feasibly could see its presence on auxiliary shows like Pardon The Interruption greatly reduced.
If this occurs, memorable interviews like the one Brad Keselowski gave on SportsCenter immediately after winning the Sprint Cup championship will likely become a thing of the past. And with it, the opportunity to expose the sport to causal fans will diminish.
While a 10-year contract certainly provides stability, there is no guarantee NBC Sports will be a ratings success. This is especially true in a climate that will see the launch of Fox Sports 1 next month. How happy will NASCAR officials be if NBC Sports is a distant third in viewership behind ESPN and FS1?
In the immediate future, it's hard not to see this move as a positive for NASCAR. It will become a benchmark property for NBC and the influx of cash, reported by Sports Business Journal to be in the neighborhood of $4.4 billion, will help aid a sport still dealing with a dearth of new sponsorship dollars and continued attendance woes.
Whether NASCAR deems its partnership with NBC a success 10 years from now remains to be seen. But for now it appears to be a win for all involved.
More from SB Nation:
• Despite risks, NASCAR's TV deal makes sense
• NBC, NASCAR agree to 10-year rights deal
• Eldora represents NASCAR's past, present, future
• Madness continues at Bowman Gray Stadium
• History doesn't favor Jimmie Johnson winning title

Did anyone see the Lane Kiffin presser? It was oddly familiar. Yes, in fact it was very similar to Mal Moore introducing Mike Shula. A nice looking young man from a fine football family. A guy that made a name for himself by being the son of a coach with a great reputation rather than by actually proving himself on the field. Yes, both coaches with no experience as the head man at the college level. Great move Mike Hamilton (UT AD) I think you have found a winner in LK. Even if his dad comes (which is still up in the air) the problem with UT is not defense and its not recruiting. They need a real OC. So as I see it, UT will field a team led by a man with no experience, with no offense, and with a solid D. Wow, this is Mike Shula all dressed up in orange. I say he is fired within 4 yrs.
Oh and Clemson. Obviously I was pulling for Dabo since he is a Bama man, but I think they jumped the gun a bit. The ACC is such a desirable conference, bc being average means you may win the whole damn thing and wind up in a BCS bowl.
Two bad coaching decisions made on the same day. I am now totally convinced a coach is basically everthing. Other issues will all work out with the right head man.

The Maine Coast
Provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the culture and environment of the Maine coast. Uses sources in art, history, literature, economics, Native American studies, African American studies, and other fields. The unifying theme is the significance of locality in understanding the interaction between the Maine coast and the people. How has the coastal topography shaped human activity there? How have artists and writers helped construct the Maine coast in the popular imagination?
How do the people – both currently and in the past – use the state's coastal landscape and resources? How do social, demographic, cultural, and environmental factors shape this relationship throughout history? Examines industries such as granite, lime, fishing, shipping, ship building, and tourism, to explore how these commercial interests intersect with environmental concerns and link Maine to the global markets. Asks how further coastal development can be reconciled with the threat to the coast's fragile environment.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
The American Society of Magazine Editors today announced the finalists for this year's ASME awards (known in the industry as the Ellies) and we're thrilled to report that we've made the list—twice!
"What Happened to Mitrice Richardson?," Mike Kessler's September 2011 feature about a 24-year-old woman who went missing after being released from the Lost Hills sheriff's station in the middle of the night without a phone, car, or money and the subsequent investigation into her death, is nominated in the Reporting category.
Los Angeles magazine arts critic Steve Erickson was recognized in the Columns and Commentary field for his Film and TV reviews.
Other magazines having an especially nice day are The Atlantic, Bloomberg Businessweek, ESPN The Magazine, Esquire, Field & Stream, Garden & Gun, Glamour, GQ, Harper's Magazine, Interview, McSweeney's Quarterly, Men's Health, National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine, Real Simple, Rolling Stone, Texas Monthly, TIME, Vanity Fair, Virginia Quarterly Review, Vogue, W, and Wired. New York and The New Yorker lead the field with six feathers in their cap a piece.
The 2012 ASME Award winners will be announced on May 3 in New York, but as they say (and we feel) it's an honor just to be nominated. Congratulations to all—and may the best pubs win.

Previously, I supported the work of SteveYzerman. For consistancy, therefore, I must conclude that the roster is, in general, adequate, but how they are playing is not. Adding a goaltender has magnified this: in the most recent games his save percentage has been at the desired level, but the results were carbon copy losses.
But, as we go down the roster player by player and ask, "Can this guy be a part of a deep playoff run team?" the answer is mostly yes.
Are they playing like a playoff team? The answer is clearly no. Putting aside the possibility of ill puck luck in a short season costing them a few points, lets look at what's wrong and how to fix it.
This is a young team. They need reps at the NHL level. Some are fast learners -- others still make that dumb pass, up the center of the ice, off a skate, and back into our zone. Or have the puck three feet from the blue line and try to make a neat play rather than clear the zone. Sound familiar fans?
They may be a soft team - or, more accurately, a team that can be cycled on easily. The Conacher trade (which seems good for both clubs) was because both teams had too many of the same types of player, thus could give up quality for quality -- we may need a couple of more of these moves.
I am willing to assume our goaltending will, given decent coaching, develop. I am appalled that F. Jean wishes to change Lindback's fundamental style, and think goalie coach would be my first staff replacement. Goalie coaches are like pitching coaches, optimise what ya got - some guys throw hard, and some don't. Some guys Butterfly, and some don't. Allaire has had success with one type of goalie only-- other have left him then had success. I though Jeff Reese was the type of coach who would accept what he had, and work on details and consistancy.
We need to reduce the shots against, and enhance the shots for. I would set a target, combined, of six. At 3 each we'd move from the lower third to the upper third of the league (Tiny difference when you think about it, eh?) We need our power play to take advantage of our shooters. We need a thing to focus on in camp, to address our problems for next year, and fix them gong forward. I choose passing.
I think - observing as a layman, that the Lightning are the worst passing team in the NHL. On the tape is all too often in the skates, or even "no one's there". The skill level of our offensive players should allow use to possess the puck for much longer periods during the game. This is our best defence -- we don't have a lot of shut down defenders, but the bad guys can't score if they don't have the puck. Passing is the passer, the receiver being ready and in position to take the pass, and a structure that allows decisions to be made very quickly.
The lightning play a lot of pond hockey -- sometime inspired pond hockey. Chaos is a valid strategy for some teams in some circumstances -- chaos vs precision, think the Philly Broad Street Bullies, vs. the New Jersey Devils. We have the players for a fast skilled puck possession game -- with goalies to erase the lapses since we are trying to limit chances not eliminate them. Points in half the one goal (and empty net) games you've played this year and the division lead and eights sport are both within reach. Does anyone doubt the fact of at least one "dumb turnover" goal in each of those games?
But, cycling back to the title - I think these are mostly mental, not physical mistakes. I like the roster direction. Let's see how well this group can learn to play together. You have to be better than average to make the palyoffs -- that's not a real high bar.

A word from Sauciety
Sauciety is a modern American grill with a culinary twist that builds off of a high-quality regional cuisine, and then focuses on a variety of unique and flavorful sauces, spreads, dips, and chutneys that the guest is able to select from to customize each course of their meal. It's a place where
jeans and a polo t-shirt are as appropriate as a sport jacket and slacks, where drinking a bottle of wine is as comfortable as a cold beer, where a quick burger is as enjoyable as a customized dinner for two.

Diner Reviews
Although there were several fish
entrees on the dinner menu (swordfish and salmon), the restaurant was out of both the night we were there. In add, we had multiple servers and neither one was helpful. We had to request water multiple times and our desserts were goofed up. We did notify the manager the night we were there, but after a long busy day, we were just looking forward to a nice dinner at the hotel. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not meet our expectation. In addition, my group felt the menu was overpriced for the fare received."

The food was good the wine was
good and the service was good. We went for dinner and what I particularly disliked about this hotel restaurant was that you felt like you were eating in a hotel restaurant. The lights were up and very bright, there was no mood, no atmostphere that made you feel like you could really relax and enjoy. We felt like we could have gone anywhere for the same food and a much better atmosphere. If you are a guest of the hotel this is great spot, but I would not go out of my way to dine here again."
Dined on 3/25/2009
Whatever poor reviews I saw before
attending restaurant have been turned around completely. The food was amazing - my group had duck, mahi mahi and chicken. When duck ran out, I was offered filet in its place... To be honest, the "choose your sauce" thing is kinda gimicky since the food was prepared so well you didn't really need/want the sauce to alter the taste (although spiced up the chicken dish) but was an interesting experience. Drinks were really well made. Service was available whenever needed (chef even came out to make apologies for shortage of duck)- would have expected a less casual waitstaff for the atmosphere, but were friendly regardless."

Went restaraunt week, three great
choices, excellent starters and deserts. Recommend highly and will return."
Dined on 3/24/2009
I went for resturant week and
would never go back, or recommend this place to a friend. Im so glad i went with the pre fix menu because the food was definatly NOT worth the prices they had listed..."
Dined on 3/18/2009
Average is all i can say about
Saucity....I had heard some great thinks but i did not have the same experience. it was Valentines Day and the dining room was half full, but the service was terrible. We arrived a half hour early and sat at the bar for a drink. the hostess forgot about us and we had to go remind her to seat us twice! It didnt get any better from there taking over 15 mins for the waitress to come over and say hello. The food was average but not a $40 piece of steak...At one point the manager came over to ask how the meal was and I explained the lakc of service and he said his kitchen was being overworked because of how busy they were....If that was a busy night i would not want to be there when the dinning room is full."
Dined on 2/14/2009
The food was decent and the sauces
were tasty but our food took a very long time and then was cold. The salad marked "vegan" on the vegetarian menu came covered in cheese. My husband's drink had something floating in it so we needed to send it back. We were sat next to the door where the waiters come in and out of the kitchen despite several other open tables and got to hear one waiter clear his throat as he passed us. As we finished, an employee "cleaned" the table next to us only wiping down the tablemat with a wet cloth and leaving crumbs on the table. Overall, not at all worth the pricetag."
Dined on 2/14/2009
Chose this restaurant as it has a
separate vegetarian menu. It is in a Westin Hotel, so had couples, families and groups there for dinner. The service and food were good and it had a nice atmosphere. We would go back again if we were in that area of Boston."
Dined on 2/14/2009
We had a pleasant experience at
Sauciety during our stay at the Boston Westin Waterfront while attending a conference. The appetizer and entree selections were varied and interesting. However, no chef specials are offered. We selected the pork chop and tenderloin dishes followed by their warm bread pudding. Everything was delicious. Service was good and the wine list affordable. Overall, we had a very good experience."
Dined on 1/30/2009
I took my wife to Sauciety for her
birthday, and she was definitely impressed. Though the restaurant is located in the Westin hotel, it manages to isolate itself sufficiently from the lobby and creates a cool, sophisticated atmosphere. The staff were friendly and adequate, though the service got a bit slow when the restaurant started filling up. The food was good, and the concept of the restaurant is effective, since the different sauces do create different flavors with the entrees. My only other complaint is that everything was a bit pricey, but for a special occasion, Sauciety will not disappoint."
Dined on 11/18/2008
Sauciety is a typical high end
hotel restaurant. People of all ages and backgrounds can be found in Sauciety's dining room. However, it's not fit for a romantic evening with your husband when you're surrounded by children at 9pm, especially when you've arranged to leave your child at home! The food in general was just ok. My swordfish was very tasty and our knowledgeable server suggested a sauce that wasn't even on the menu. My husband's steak, however, was overcooked and disappointing (we had better steak at Outback). Portions are conservative. Order more side dishes and an appetizer and skip the poor dessert selection. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, but our she kept disappearing. It took 3 hours to eat our meal!"
Dined on 10/11/2008
I was very disappointed with
Sauciety--everything from the food to the service was terrible. It started with the host rudely sharing that we were 6 minutes late (although there were plenty of open tables and NO one waiting). The food was not good--the tastiest items were the bread basket and accompanying spreads. The steak was overcooked and tough. The risotto tasted like a bottle of wine. The cappuccino was not a cappuccino but rather a double espresso with NO foam. The service was poor and in great need of an etiquette lesson. It's rare that I am so critical about a restaurant but there is no reason that anyone should go to Sauciety--especially with all of the wonderful establishments in a city like Boston."
Dined on 9/24/2008
This is a gret theme for a
restuarant, but Sauciety does not coem through on it. There is a good selection of sauces, but they taste like they came out of a jar. It is extremely overpriced and I would never eat here again. That being said, the calamari is very good, the wine is very good and service was excellent."
Dined on 9/12/2008
The service was great, and the
food was tasty. I would go back, but the portions are small, so great for girls who don't want to be stuffed but I can't see how a guy would ever be satisfied."
Dined on 8/21/2008
Sauciety is a bit out of the way,
located at the Westin down in the Seaport district but it was worth the trek. The food was really good and trying all the sauces made for a really fun dinning experience. The service was fabulous! Our waiter was really nice and when we asked to move tables because we were seated next to the somewhat noisy bar area they were extremely accommodating!"
Dined on 8/20/2008
The food here was fabulous, and
the staff was very accomodating when my friends and I insisted on having more bread in order to finish off the sauces. GET THE SAUCES. I don't care if they go with your meal, eat them with bread. Absolutely tremendous."
Dined on 8/19/2008
Great selection of food, sauces
are fun and an interesting twist, plus the service/attention was great for us."
Dined on 8/18/2008
Large, open dining room geared for
large groups. Makes perfect sense being next to the convention center, but definitely not the place for an intimate dining experience. We happened to be there on Monday night of Restaurant Week and it was nearly empty. Select menu for Restaurant Week was adequate but not inspired. With so many restuarants in Boston from which to choose, it is unlikely we would return."
Dined on 8/18/2008
We had an awful experience. I
always thought that restaurant week was about local restaurants putting their best foot forward. Sauciety acctually tried to discourage us from ordering off the restaurant week menu because they had modified the portion sizes so much that they felt we would be disappointed. Once we decided on the "special" menu, it was as if we were not as good as other patrons who were ordering from the regular menu. Portions were miniscule as compared to what they normally serve. We were served 1 shrimp as appetizer, 4oz of flank steak, and a hard brownie sundae. We ordered a "regular" side of rissoto which was HUGE by comparisson. They tossed our generous left-overs! I quote, "They're in the trash." No upfront appology!"
Dined on 8/18/2008
We went for an earlier dinner, so
the noise level was low, but I can imagine when it gets crowded that it gets noisy, as the restaurant is open to the hotel lobby. Food was good. My lobster salad was the best course. The steak was a little fatty, and the desert brownie was a bit dry. Overall great service, and being able to choose sauces made it a fun, unique experience. It was my boyfriend's birthday, and they sang to him and gave us an extra desert, which was really nice."
Dined on 8/17/2008
I dined here during Restaurant
Week, and so expected service to be a bit slower than usual, but the restaurant was less than half full and it still took 25 minutes from the time I ordered until my drink arrived, and three inquiries from the waitress asking, "did your drink come?" Well, no, see how there's no martini glass on the table? The food was grim. My entree of flank steak had to have amounted to no more than three ounce of meat with, albeit with a fairly good bernaise sauce. The vegetable accompaniment was a single brussel's sprout, although it was cut in half so that certianly made it seem like more (ahem). Needless to say I will never dine here again."
Dined on 8/15/2008
This was a very average restauarnt
and was disappointing"
Dined on 8/13/2008
We went there for restaurant week
and were very disappointed at the size of the portions. We have eaten in many restaurants during restaurant week this year and years past. The appetizer had one shrimp and a different one had only a one inch circle of lobster salad. The stripped bass also was a strip not even one inch wide. We ate last night at the Intercontinental Hotel Miel dining room. The food portions were not different with from diners not eating the restaurant menu and the restaurant made us feel like special guests."
Dined on 8/13/2008
It is a nice location if you live
in South Boston and want a special night out. It is really close to the convention center if you have extra money it would be a nice place to go before a show or something."
Dined on 8/11/2008
I was really looking forward to
this Restaurant Week reservation. I had heard mix reviews but most of them were positive. However, after dining at Sauciety, I was less than thrilled. The service was very inattentive. For instance, we ordered a bottle of white wine which the waiter brought out to the table after 20 min without an ice bucket. He just left the bottle on the table through out our meal. The food was not worth it either. The appetizer looked promising and was tasty, but not enough. The presentaiton of the Bass was unappealing and the kitchen overcooked the steak. Finally, I feel that I could have gone to Friendly's and had a better desert. It was far away and I would not go out of my way to go back there."
Dined on 8/10/2008
Sauciety has a very cool
contemporary look to it. Great plates and bowls too, lol! The food is very good but not mind blowing or anything. The seafood cobb salad is to die for. It's still just a hotel restaurant though, but it's good and I'd reccommend it. It's in the Westin Waterfont hotel which has a GORGEOUS lobby. If youre looking for flash/pizzaz with an adequate if not slightly above average menu Sauciety is for you. Like I said, Ive been before, and I'd go again. One major disappointment was the parking. I aksed the valet if they validated and he said yes. When I returned he asked for $20. I told him I was validated and he said, "Oh, then it's $10". Apparently validation only gives you only 50% off..shoulda told me that to begin with"
Dined on 8/10/2008
Poor service from inception-
waited about 10 minutes nobody waited on us- had t ask hostess in order to get service Portions extremely small Not ready for prime time"
Dined on 8/9/2008
The staff was very solicitous and
helpful, and the atmosphere was comfortable and quiet, making for a very nice experience. The food was excellent. One of our party especially appreciated having a vegetarian menu to choose from. All the dishes stood out on their own as very well done, not needing the sauces except as an interesting complement. The sauce concept seems a little strained in that the sauces are more ancillary than central to the food, and thus seem more like an enhancement of the dishes than a reason for being for the restaurant. The restaurant could dare to be a little more adventurous with the sauces. For example, I expected the 'jerk' sauce to be very hot but the spiciness was barely discernable. Overall - excellent."
Dined on 7/21/2008
We were there pretty early in the
evening in order to make it to a show, so it was hard to tell what the ambiance would be and whether or not there was any kind of bar scene. Food was very good though."
Dined on 7/10/2008
Enjoyable ambiance-sauce sharing
fun-service was slow-2.5 hours is a long time for three courses John"

Hostess was rude and ill-mannered
and set a bad tone for the meal. Waitress was pleasant, but seemed to be overworked."
Dined on 5/17/2008
Great food, knowledgeable
bartender, new and untrained (but very nice) waitstaff."
Dined on 5/2/2008
excellent food, inventive, filling
and great service. Not a typical hotel restaurant at all."
Dined on 4/27/2008
Not worth the effort to get there.
The location is a long hike from the "T" and not even close to the waterfront, as advertised."
Dined on 3/21/2008
For a restaurant famed for
sauces...the spreads with bread were all typical and too similar. They were all VERY garlicky. One with garlic great-all three? The Sauces in general didn't have enough kick. Disappointing. Won't go back unless staying in Westin. Fine for hotel lobby but not great for destination dining."
Dined on 3/21/2008
I had read some reviews before my
reservation that said the service was bad. However, I have never been one to cancel a reservation bc of poor reviews. After our entree but prior to our dessert we came to realize that the waitress had not once come over between courses to see how our meal was or to see if we needed anything. we couldnt even see her to signal that we wanted drinks. Our serving assistant, Cheri however was GREAT! she could see we were annoyed and come over to check on us. She got us our drinks, and even comped them. I dont know if they assume bc it is restaurant week they dont need to bother with their customers but I found this rude and I would not return."
Dined on 3/21/2008
When I tried to get a reservation
for other hours of the day, the online reservation service said the restaurant was completely booked. However, when we arrived, the entire restaurant was empty during the whole 2 hours we were there! Service was ok. They tried to take away our plates before we finished eating and despite how EMPTY the restaurant was, they tried to get us out of there as soon as possible. It was definitely not a leisurely dinner."
Dined on 3/21/2008
I was disappointed with the the
service and the emphasis placed on the sauces. Also, my dessert was over-cooked - I ordered the chocolate soufflé browning and it was rock hard throughout."
Dined on 3/19/2008
The bread was probably one of the
highlights of the meal. It came with 3 dipping sauces: garlic infused olive oil, lemon artichoke, and red pepper feta. My friend and I both had the scallop to start, and while it was tasty (as was the Vanilla Beurre Blanc), it was served lukewarm. The main dish was uninteresting -- not bad, just nothing special."
Dined on 3/17/2008
Dinner at Sauciety was great. My
only suggestion would be in regards to parking. Because the restaurant is within the Westin hotel, it would be helpful if the restaurant and the parking attendants were on the same page. The Sauciety web page states that they validate the hotel garage parking for up to 3 hours... however, when we left the garage approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes after arriving for dinner, the parking attendant told us that the validation is only good for 2 hours - which was never mentioned by our server or noted on the parking ticket itself when it was validated at the restaurant. Instead of paying $10, we were forced to pay $25 - which I find pretty unacceptable. Thank you."

Odunde expands to 10-day celebration
- Written by Bobbi Booker
- Published in Lifestyles
In 1975, a $100 grant kickstatred what would become one of the largest and most longstanding African-American street festivals in the nation. Held the second Sunday of June for the past 37 years, the Odunde Festival attracts more than 500,000 people annually and is one of the largest community-based street festivals in the country. The event begins with a procession to the Schuylkill River, where prayers, flowers and fruit are offered to the goddess Osun. Afterwards, the festivities continue at one of the city's largest street fairs featuring vendors offering their wares from around the globe, live music and dance performances, and palate-pleasing foods inspired by African and African-American cultures.
Odunde is the creation of its 77-year-old South Philadelphia founder, Lois Fernandez, who launched the festival after visiting the Eli Efi festival in Nigeria. The concept originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa, and celebrates the coming of another year for African Americans and Africanized people around the world.
"We have truly been blessed. We have stood the test of time," remarked Fernandez. What started out as a small street festival in '70s has blossomed over four decades into one of the biggest East Coast seasonal events drawing over 500,000 people to the region and generating $4 million for the city.
"Odunde attracts up to a half million people for the festival," explained Fernandez's daughter, Oshunbumi Fernandez, chief executive officer of Odunde. "We cover over 12 city blocks and feature two stages of live entertainment along with 200 arts and crafts and food vendors who come and participate. So, Odunde is full of love — and culture — for everyone."
Traditionally, the festival draws 22 percent of its visitors from outside the Philadelphia region. Every year, Odunde draws vendors from not only America but from Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and Guinea. Sunday's traditional Odunde street festival will also include an African marketplace with hundreds of craft and food vendors selling African art, artifacts, keepsakes, clothing, jewelry and two stages of live entertainment. During the rest of the year, ODUNDE, Inc. is an educational and cultural organization that sponsors year-round programs featuring the African Diaspora, as well as the annual Odunde Festival.
The 37th Annual Odunde celebration kicks off June 1 with a reception at the Arts Garage, 1533 Ridge Ave., followed by 10 days of workshops and community events, including African Family Day at the Please Touch Museum on June 2, a Happy Hour art exhibit at Vivant Art Collection on June 4 and a Guiness World Zumba class on June 9. The week of events culminates with the Odunde Festival on Sunday, June 10 at 23rd and South streets from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information about Odunde. call (215) 732-8510 or visit http://www.odundeinc.org.

The Boston Celtics are one of the most storied franchises in NBA history, with the ability to attract almost any head coach they desire, but on Wednesday night, Danny Ainge stunned the basketball world, turning to 36-year old Butler coach Brad Stevens to replace Doc Rivers on the bench.
"Though he is young, I see Brad as a great leader who leads with impeccable character and a strong work ethic" Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said in a release. "His teams always play hard and execute on both ends of the court. Brad is a coach who has already enjoyed lots of success, and I look forward to working with him towards Banner 18."

The extracts on this page are taken from selected national newspapers. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of Manchester United.
Daily Telegraph scribe Henry Winter lauds the performance of Chris Smalling in his first major European test, saying: "There was a maturity about Smalling, a refusal to panic when Brandao and company came calling that marks him out as a true United player."
Following Sir Alex Ferguson's impassioned plea for Paul Scholes to agree another one-year contract, The Sun claims that the veteran midfielder has assured his manager that he will sign up for a 17th season with the Reds.
Chelsea captain John Terry tells The Daily Mirror that his side's last chance to retain the Premier League title hinges on beating United next Tuesday. "If we want to put in a charge and a run for the Premier League, we must beat Man United," he says. "We go into the game with no fear, just passion. Being able to put pressure on them would be great."


text: Okay, everyone, don't start overreacting to what was a very disappointing loss. I've had the experience of watching and cheering for a number of teams that have thrilled me and also broken my heart: Vikings, Hotspurs, Astros, Rice U. You learn to not base the success of a season on winning a championship but to enjoy the ride during the season and hope for a shot at the end. Winning and succeeding in the NCAA tournament is a difficult task. Last thing you should do is to start hating on the program and the WCC. Let's savor what was a wonderful thrilling ride until the past three days. This team should elicit nothing but pride. All the players are people that Gonzaga can profer up as role models for student athletes. From Mike being a walk on phenom, to Elias staying for 4 years, to Kelly taking a redshirt junior year, and on and on, this is a great team in every sense of the word. We didn't play dirty, or lose our cool when getting mauled. We played with class and skill. We didn't have to worry about our players on the police record. Even in the power conferences, teams don't win back to back like in football. Indiana last won a national title 15 years ago. Kentucky didn't make the tournament this year. Georgetown lost to Harvard. All you can hope for is to make the tournament and from there it becomes a crap shoot. And you have to count on some luck with refs, match ups, hot shooting, cold shooting teams. Remember, a lot more schools play basketball than football making a national title run a difficult task. And the tournament frequently doesn't reward the best team that year. Instead of all the rage, and hurt, let's revel in a fantastic year for a group of great young men who were relevant on a national level and gave us some wonderful moments all season long. Thanks Bulldogs. Cannot wait for next season. Go Zags.
