- A Romantic EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We tried Stone House for the first time and had a very nice experience. Staff was courteous and helpful. Started of with the foie gras and a nice glass of red. Beef cheeks for her and flat iron steak for me were both prepared nicely. Small dining space in the living area of an old craftsman made for a quaint romantic evening. Left satiated and content. We would definitely try again.Special Features:
- Top class for RedmondFoodieDined on 8/27/2014I brought in out of country guests who love great food and restaurants, and we chose office space in Redmond for the week. In the evenings they expect a great experience, and the Stone House really delivers. They do a really great job. Everything we had was great, but I have to say that I've been in search of the perfect salmon for a long time, because most cooks miss something...but this was finally it...the best.Special Features:
- Local gem hidden in plain sightTwoguysVIPDined on 8/23/2014A unique restaurant in an unusual location. You drive past this place all the time, and miss out. The restaurant itself is small, tables close together, atmosphere cozy but energetic. Feels urban, like NYC or SF small restaurants. The wine list is very good. The service was attentive and pleasant, though the wait for the food was a bit long. The menu is very personal and delicious. The beef cheeks and king salmon were great main courses, and the Thai mussels and the Pork Belly appetizers were great. The chocolate mousse cake was a rich and wonderful end of the meal. A great little place to get pampered with a unique, flavorful and creative meal. A secret, local treasure!Special Features:
- Great spot!!luv2eatVIPDined on 8/20/2014Had business in Redmond and went to The Stone House based on the recommendations found in Open Table. Had a great meal and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant. Ate outside because it was such a great night...but the outside ambience is not the best. The peach and bree salad was a great start to the meal. Loved the combinations in the salad. The main course of salmon with gnocchi and brussel sprout leaves was some of the best salmon I have had in a long time....of course coming from Philadelphia to Redmond..that was probably why the salmon was so good!! Will definitely go back when I get back to Redmond.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/15/2014Great experience all around. Third time there and raw oysters and heirloom tomatoes for appetizers were fantastic. Would recommend having a blurb about the historical nature of the property has a part of the charm. Due to neighborhood construction, getting in and out and to the onsite parking-great feature I appreciate-took more time. Outdoor seating in the summer used to be great. Hope that will return with additional delight after the park next door is renovated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant evening outFussingDinerDined on 8/15/2014We tried the Stone House based on reviews on Open Table. It was a good choice. We were celebrating an anniversary and the intimate setting, the small size, and the incredible wine list made it quite good. The construction that made it almost impossible to reach was something else but that will go away with time.Special Features:
- Terrific food, but leave timehfarbsVIPDined on 8/6/2014The 4 of us had a wonderful meal at The Stone House. I had the special, baby back ribs, and they were quite tasty and paired well with a local ale. The server recommended the halibut, and two of our guests really enjoyed that. The desserts were especially tasty, even if we couldn't finish them. It did take a long time to get our food so dinner took much longer than expected. Also, at the moment, there is construction on the major street outside The Stone House, so leave a little extra time to get there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great family dinnerfamilydinerDined on 8/5/2014We are always on the look out for nice local restaurants to celebrate family birthdays. The Stone House came highly recommended and I whole heartily agree. The service was informative and friendly. The ambience was just right with the family easily able to converse. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food but too hot!LovefoodieDined on 8/2/2014The food was amazing and the wine list was endless... But there wasn't much circulation of air and made it uncomfortable to drink alcohol (which naturally makes you warm)Special Features:
- TctwoOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/1/2014Fantastic food. Always a great meal here. It's wonderful we have such a talent in Redmond. The food is so wonderful you don't even notice all the downtown Redmond construction occurring all around this gem of a restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cb11Dined on 8/1/2014Had a delightful lunch experience at the Stone House. The food and presentation were outstanding. The prawn salad and the weathervane scallops with Zucchini pasta were the highlights of our meal. Our server was very attentive and accommodating.Unfortunately, there is a lot of construction going on near and around the location of the restaurant. We would have loved to eat outside but our ambiance would have been jackhammers, trucks and construction workers shouting. We will visit again but this time maybe for dinner when the construction has quieted for the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dinnerSammamish4Dined on 7/25/2014My wife and I went here for dinner, she had scallops and I had the halibut. Both were very good. We split a chocolate soufflé for dessert which was excellent. We'll definitely be coming back.Special Features:
- Mostly Great ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/23/2014Everything was great with one exception. Moules appetizer was excellent, Halibut in curry sauce amazing and Bananas Foster bread pudding delectable. Unfortunately my scallop dish was very un-remarkable, despite being perfectly cooked there was little to no flavor in the scallop furthermore they we setting in a sauce that tasted exactly like campbells tomato soup. Overall I will rate them very good and continue to dine there, I will be more cautious with my dish selection in the future and avoid their scallops.Special Features:
- Just Great Food and ServiceWarriorsSonDined on 7/15/2014You will be pleasantly surprised. Menu changes, so you must go back regularly. Banana split is a must. Just try everything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinning at StoneHouse Restaurantgoodfood4friendsDined on 7/15/2014Neat old quaint house for out of town visitors in Redmond. We ordered 2 appetizers to be shared, Pork Belly was excellent and Mussels. I ordered Beef cheeks with interesting seasoning but a bit too salty for me. Also ordered 2 desserts ie peach tart and a piece rhubarb pie (yummy and wonderful). Overall, good food (less salt,please) and great service. Ambience was nice except for the hot night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely evening, friendly atmosphereBevie5650Dined on 7/12/2014Thank you for a most memorable evening. Open Table made us feel at home and not rushed. It was a lovely evening on a hot night and the food was superb. Thanks for another lovely meal and a great evening with happy service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinner at The Stone HousefabulousStoneHouseDined on 7/9/2014We were warmly greeted and offered to sit where we wanted. They recognized us as the folks who ordered a special meal, as we are vegetarians (I had called them when we made our reservation). They presented us with a fabulous vegetarian meal that had varied flavors and textures: gnocchi and fresh pea pods in an onion wine sauce, zucchini 'pasta' with a variety of vegetables on a red pepper coulis, and a mushroom linguini that had a variety of mushrooms in a cream sauce topped with fresh flowers. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, although the room was a bit too noisy, due to a couple of large groups dining there. We'd go there again at any time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/8/2014Super pleased with the food. Our server started off excellent but she was alone and as the tables filled our service level dropped. I do not believe the restaurant expected the crowd so I am not grumpy about the slow service at the end. I'll go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, not prices and serviceMonkeyFaceDined on 6/28/2014First time eating here, though I'd seen it many times. Menu didn't have a lot of choices, especially for a vegetarian, but all the food was excellent except for the peach tart (almost no peach). Service was middling; adequate but not what you'd expect for a restaurant like this. It really is a stone house, and you're eating in what feels like the former living room. Prices were high for what you get. If you like restaurants cozy and energetic, it's great. Ambiance is messed up by major construction project next door.Special Features:
- What a gemSleah5964Dined on 6/21/2014Never heard of this place but did a reservation for my husbands 50th birthday. What a great place. Food was fast, hot and delicious. I recommended it to a friend the next day .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Has CharacterStealthyPlacentalMammalDined on 6/21/2014The inside lives up to the romantic promise of the outside and the personnel were sweet and thoughtful. The food was about 4.4 -- not quite outstanding, but it might be another evening. I especially enjoyed the Barbela, a wonderful wine with which I was unfamiliar. I will gladly return.Special Features:
- little gem in downtown RedmondkarolinaDined on 6/19/2014Delicious food and great service, will be back to try more options from their menu. Little donuts are to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Great Service but noisyGS1954Dined on 6/18/2014All of the food from the salads to the desserts were outstanding. The service was also outstanding. The level of the noise in the restaurant made having a conversation very difficult. If you are looking for a night of great food and conversation book at table after 9 pm when the restaurant traffic starts to ebb.Special Features:
- sweetsVIPDined on 6/18/2014The fish was cooked perfectly I will mention. The mussels were fishy, risotto was watered down, but it did have good flavor. Based on the reviews prior, I must have come on an off day.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/14/2014The ambience was great!!!! Service was outstanding and great staff! Food was excellent!!!! Presentations of food were excellent!!!! Would definitely take anyone there for an outstanding dining experience!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- oKArshDined on 6/7/2014Staff nice. Room very noisy. Little house in middle of growing town. Surrounded by apartments and condos. Looks like nice outdoor patio but too cool to test. Food was ok. Not as good as anticipated. Wine selection was good. Went for our anniversary and we're not as wowed as anticipated . Would not go out of our way to return but that's because there are so many other restUrants we would like to try.Special Features:
- Once again!RyattDined on 6/7/2014A very nice dinner was had by all! The Stone House is a pretty special place, the food is always spot on and the wine list is a little slice of heaven. I look forward to my next visit so that I can be dazzled once more by the creative food preparationsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Personal service standout!MmesDined on 5/31/2014Personal service really made our Thursday dinner exceptional. Great local menu choices and fantastic dessert. We appreciated the help to find a hidden gem of a Chardonnay.Special Features:
- Fresh and flavorful, but noisyYouCanTrustMeDined on 5/29/2014The pork chop was perfectly cooked & came with a savory apricot sauce. The asparagus appetizer was the right balance of tenderness & was topped with a baguette slice, olive oil, and over-easy egg that created a rich mix of flavors. The breading on the chili rellenos was a bit thick, but soaked up some of the fresh green salsa to win me over. The potato gnocchi was tender, accompanied by fresh artichoke & generously drizzled with basil-rich pesto sauce. All the dishes had a fresh taste and a delightful combination of flavors. The banana split was a winner, especially the banana which is dusted in cinnamon & sugar and cooked to caramelize the exterior and soften the fruit. We'll be back for our next special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good dinner location, but loudFredDined on 5/23/2014The steak and salmon were very good. The steak was a little overcooked, but the quality made up for it. The restaurant is very small and loud, with guest's conversation. Not a good spot for a nice quiet dinner or intimate need.Special Features:
- wonderful food and wait staffOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014We ate early on a Saturday. The room was cozy but not crowded. Staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stone House delivers again!RickDined on 5/17/2014Second visit this month. Sea scallops and halibut were delicious and the presentation was great. The service was excellent as well, we didn't feel rushed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great dinnerRedmondJsDined on 5/16/2014The food at Stone House is always relish! The mussel (appetizer) are amazing. My husband always orders the chili rubbed tenderloin and I always order fresh fish. Stone House cares about the ingredients (fresh, local, etc.) they use and it shows!Special Features:
- ExcellentGoDawgsDined on 5/10/2014Every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. Scallops were amazing, but the chili rub tenderloin was the best steak I've ever had. Great find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- excellent food, worth the waittastytastyfoodDined on 5/6/2014Food was outstanding - lamb was cooked perfectly, and pork belly sandwich for lunch was excellent. Turn-around time from ordering to food being served was a little too long, but quality of food was worth the wait. Very little atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 165 reviews are from the The Stone House reviews archive.
- Lang2Dined on 4/30/2014All our orders (4 of us) were absolutely delicious and elegant presentation. Will definetly be a return customer!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Has been better but goodIllbebackDined on 4/26/2014The Scallops were good and plating was beautiful. The sauces were too light for my taste this time and I'm pretty sure I would not get that again. The other 3 times I have been there it was excellent. Service was a bit disappointing as the gentleman looked frazzled and overwhelmed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the recommendation was rightagreatfoodexperienceDined on 4/18/2014We recently visited the beautiful city of Redmond for the Easter weekend. This is was my third visit to this city and my husbands second. Every time we visit- we try new restaurants and see new sights. Adding the Stone House to our favourite places to eat in Redmond was unanimous- its a total food experience. My husband thinks its actually the best Halibut meal he has every had and the experience was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food is absolutely delicious...SayanDined on 4/11/2014Actually I select this restaurant because of its good reviews, and I am really happy of that . As soon as I arrived I got surprised of its small area,it is like your dinning room but so cozy and well organized. The service was good but I have to confess the food was one of the best I have ever had. I selected scallop and shrimp and my husband chose the tenderloin steak and I think it was one of the best steaks we had experienced before…. in conclusion , I will recommend stone house to my friends ,and definitely will come back again..Special Features:

Day after day i am hating Symbian more and more Why do they keep making things more difficult??!!
I have a Bluetooth Client/Server engine implemented for S60 3 FP1 and it worked fine. Now i am trying to use it on S60 5 but apparently Symbian has introduced a compatibility break to RSocket::Open(). Let me explain what i am doing:
When this code is executed, the prtcldesc family is set to 257 (after looking in the different sock headers i think this means KSolInetIcmp), and prtcldesc socktype is 1 (KProtocolInetIcmp). But the application gives an error when RSocket::Open is called with a message saying "Unable to execute file for security reasons".Code:// load RFCOMM protocol TProtocolDesc prtcldesc; User::LeaveIfError(iSocketServ.FindProtocol(KRfcomm(), prtcldesc)); // open a socket User::LeaveIfError(iListenSock.Open(iSocketServ, prtcldesc.iAddrFamily, prtcldesc.iSockType,KRFCOMM)); // then the BT socket code comes next but never reached because of the Leave...
According to RSocket::Open documentation in Symbian 9.4 SDK it seems that the use of KProtocolInetIcmp requires NetworkControl capability which requires open signing with publisher id!!!!! WHY SYMBIAN WHY???
Have i missed something here? Am i just mixing things up? Please give me any comments you may have...

Korach: Bill King was a master, too
A's broadcast legend was similar to Impressionist great
Ken Korach, the lead play-by-play man on A's radio broadcasts, this week signed a two-year deal with the team that will keep him behind the microphone in Oakland through 2011.This will be Korach's 14th season with the club, and the first 10 of those years was spent as a partner to the late Bill King, a Bay Area broadcasting legend. The day after Korach's new contract was announced, Korach submitted the following essay in appreciation of King's life and work. It is almost impossible to describe Bill King, and that's just the way he would want it. His life really defied description, but I often thought he belonged to another era. If I was going to compare him to someone, the Impressionists come to mind. Bill and I shared an interest in art, and that's where the comparison stops. Bill was a fine Impressionist painter, and Claude Monet was one of his heroes. In fact, Bill used to stop at a little bridge in the Fens on the way to the Boston Museum of Fine Art and imagine it was the famous Japanese foot bridge over the water lilies at Giverny that Monet painted many times. I've seen photos of Bill's Impressionist landscapes. They are amazingly good, and an example how his interests outside of the broadcast booth brought texture to his broadcasts. He was, however, private about his painting -- he never wanted anyone to praise or purchase anything because he was Bill King, the famous announcer. Art despite anguish
Edouard Manet worked with Monet at Argenteuil in 1874, and although he resisted being included in the Impressionist camp, he has always been linked by time and style to Monet and his contemporaries. I remember looking with awe at Manet's paintings at a 2002 Impressionist still-life exhibit at the Boston MFA. The paintings are vivid, belying that they were painted by a terminally ill Manet shortly before he died. That Manet painted despite pain and partial paralysis -- his left foot was amputated 11 days before he died -- speaks to his love of his work. Similarly, Bill worked almost literally until the day he died, but I want to avoid any confusion here. He was in generally good health for someone in his late 70s. He died as a result of complications from hip surgery, but, having worked next to him during his final year, 2005, it was clear he was in pain from the fall in Phoenix that wrenched his old hip replacement. Yet, to listen to him that year, you would have never known he was hurting. Bill often told me that there was nothing in his life that could match the feeling he got while he was on the air. It wasn't about the adulation, but the air that he breathed. I thought Bill got better with age, and one of the reasons is that baseball broadcasting is best when delivered by a seasoned, mellow sound. Bill was a great storyteller and habitual about his preparation. Bill would never even listen to tapes of himself. He was, however, a perfectionist. He would be inconsolable if he missed an important call. Those occasions were seldom. What you got from Bill was unvarnished, and he never tried to conform to what he or others thought he should sound like. It's a little like what Red Barber told a young Vin Scully when they started working together on the Dodgers' broadcasts in the early 50s: "You should avoid listening to other announcers because you don't want to water your wine." Stylish, driven to the end
One of Manet's most famous and influential paintings, LeBar aux Folies-Berjere (1882), was completed one year before he died, and the work reflected Manet's enjoyment of high society. Bill certainly enjoyed some of the same things, to be sure, but those who knew him well knew a man of capacious taste. He was into opera, ballet, music and fine wine, and late in life he developed a love of NASCAR. After a night of fine dining, he would breakfast on Cheetos. On our cross-country flights with the A's, he would devour a newspaper like a five-course meal. When Manet was in his final years, friends used to bring him bouquets and he would paint them and they became still-life masterpieces. Robert Hughes, in Time Magazine, wrote that "the painting of flowers played an expressive consolation to him in his last years." As I noted before, Bill did great work to the end, too. He was full speed ahead in the days before the hip surgery in 2005, looking forward to working a full schedule of A's broadcasts the next year. He never looked forward to the home games -- the Bay Area commute drove him nuts -- but loved the more simple rhythms of the road, where he had his favorite lunch spots and he would feel very European after indulging in fine food and a few sips of wine. Similar backgrounds
Many Manet biographers have written that, near the end, Manet was stripped of self-consciousness and his work reflected his love of life and style. He was a complicated man -- he didn't want to be defined, except that he had an intense focus on the integrity of his art. Bill was that way in many respects, too, and the similarities don't end there. Edouard Manet was born in Paris in 1832. His dad wanted him to study law, but after failing his naval exam, he went into the merchant marines instead. Bill King's education was self-taught, and he began broadcasting for Armed Forces Radio while in the service in Guam. Like Manet, Bill hated to be categorized and never compromised, but he had a profound respect for the broadcasting greats who came before him. While Manet traveled to Italy, Germany and Holland and learned from the legacies of Goya, Hals and Velazquez, Bill's influences were the Midwestern voices of his youth: Caray, Elson and Brickhouse. So, both men were influenced by the great masters but were considered non-conformists. Manet looked at life and painted spontaneous impressions. Bill King looked at ballgames and created audio masterpieces. Bill always said he was apolitical but, really, he had an appetite for politics despite his disdain for most politicians. He was passionate about the environment and active in efforts to preserve the beauty and open spaces of Marin County, where he lived. Manet expressed his political disillusionment. He was no fan of Napoleon and was angered by the Franco-Prussian war, but he was fascinated by the U.S. Civil War battle off the French coast, and "The Kearsarge" (1864) and his paintings depicting the battle and his view of the Kearsarge are action-packed, play-by-plays of war. Even though Manet influenced and was influenced by the Impressionists -- especially Monet and Manet's sister-in-law, Berthe Morisot -- he didn't want to be represented as part of a group identity. Bill wasn't much for the group thing, either. In fact, he was a legendary loner. One of the ironies of his own self-portrait was that he would jokingly refer to himself as an "inconsiderate son of a [gun]." He was wrong about himself -- he was an unfailingly loyal and kind friend -- but the truth is that Bill was just as happy going his own way, and he lived his life totally on his own terms. There was a raw passion in his work, and his emotional outbursts -- at the officials, umpires or bad play by his own team -- were legendary. He was a breath of fresh air, especially in his later years, when so many younger broadcasters began to sound homogenized. I've always wondered where all the colorful characters went. Nobody who knew Bill was shocked at his irreverence, but winding the clock back over 100 years earlier to the mid-19th century, Manet's use of nudes in Ledejeuner sur l'herbe (1862-63) and Olympia (1863) was shocking to the artistic public -- so much so that Manet was considered an abomination. Like Bill, Manet was a man who treated conventional topics in his own unique way. Legacies left
Bill and I never talked much about the Ford C. Frick Award, which recognizes one broadcaster each year during the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. When we did he was typically self-effacing. But his sense of history and tradition and respect for the greats who came before him led me to believe he would have been deeply honored if he had received the award before he died. I'm forever hopeful that Bill will one day be honored with the Frick Award, but it saddens me that it didn't happen while he was with us. Manet, who went under appreciated in some circles earlier in his career, was eventually awarded the Legion of Honor -- a huge acknowledgment of his esteem -- but he was near death and too ill to enjoy the recognition he had long sought but had never before received. His legacy lives on, of course, at art museums and galleries around the world, and in the influence he had on others. Last summer, the San Francisco Legion of Honor featured an exhibit, "The Women Impressionists," which was an ode to Manet and him impact on other artists. Bill King's body of work is immortal, too, preserved by NFL Films on the classic Oakland Raiders' highlights and on the giant video screen at the Oakland Coliseum, as the A's celebrated their 40th-anniversary season in 2008 by replaying many of Bill's calls from his 25 years with the team. And, like the great jazz players, whose vibes are passed through generations of young musicians, Bill has a family tree of announcers who were transfixed in their youth by his play-by-play and aspire to live up to his standards. Jerry Howarth, the radio voice of the Blue Jays, is one of them. "I first met Bill when I was working at the Santa Clara University athletic department," Howarth told me. "I was 27 at the time and interested in a career in broadcasting. The Warriors set me up with a pass, and I met Bill as he was all alone doing his homework in the darkened Oakland Arena two hours before the game. He gave me all the time I wanted to talk about sportscasting. "When I returned to the Coliseum nine years later as a Blue Jays announcer, I reintroduced myself to Bill and told him the story of how we had met back in 1973. I saw how he prepared with his huge notebooks and the handwritten notes and meticulous attention to detail. It was the same preparation I remembered when I first met him as the Warriors' announcer." Two men, Manet and King, of different professions and from different generations. Manet resisted being grouped with the Impressionists, but as I see the link between these two men, it might best be described by the definition of the word impression: "A strong effect produced on the intellect, feelings and conscience."

Evangelicals, United Brethren, and Methodists took the tide of pietism--a tide emphasizing personal Christian experience. This tide welled up within the Lutheran Church, the Reformed Church, and the Church of England, three of the principal Protestant denominations. These churches embodied all that centuries of Christian living and thinking had identified as essential to a complete Christian church: an ordering of worship, preaching, hymnody, prayer, and the sacraments in such a way that the fullness of the biblical revelation is expressed; a heritage of thinking and writing about the Christian faith and applying it to daily life; a system of church government that takes sin seriously and therefore does not lodge too much authority in any one person or group; a program of Christian education for the laity and theological training for the clergy; a plan for developing such institutions as mission boards and social reform agencies, colleges and publishing houses, hospitals, homes for the aged, and orphanages; and a readiness to use architecture, music, sculpture, poetry, fiction, and painting in the service of God. What pietists found missing in churches that were doing all these things was a means for moving belief from the head to the heart. They provided such a means by setting up small groups for Bible study, prayer, and self-discipline within the major denominations.
But pietists never intended to found new churches. All they wanted to do was to help people personally experience God's forgiving love and become faithful believers within their own denominations. Nevertheless, the outcome of their efforts, especially in America, was the founding of new churches. So we turn now to the story of the founding of the Methodist, United Brethren, and Evangelical churches, as the little ships we have been studying moved into the era of American nationalism.

Local Atmosphere:
Decent locally. It's a small town so you can't expect too much.
Guys & Girls:
It's alright in general. There are a few and there aren't a few.
Don't often go out to eperience it much, but most of answers from hearsay
Didn't apply for scholarships at the school so n/a.
Campus Dining:
As with most schools, the food is overpriced and mediocre.
Campus Strictness:
The school doesn't place many boundaries on what students are or are not allowed to do. As long as you don't do something stupid or overly attention-seeking, the school usually will not get into your business
Known as one of the biggest basketball schools, it's without a doubt that sports are huge. Intramural and club sports don't fall behind much and many individuals are also involved.
Campus Strictness:
Duke seems to have taken a tougher stance on the illicit activities inherent to Greek organizations, such as hazing, excessive alcohol consumption, and drug use. Otherwise, it exercises considerable (and appreciated) leniency for students who operate on an "all things in moderation" principle. If a student becomes incapacitated, for example, the campus police's first directive is to secure that student's safety and wellbeing. From an academic standpoint, Duke abides by the honor code to which all students pledge. Of all the offenses one could incur, plagiarism is usually the most dire.
Local Atmosphere:
Durham and Duke have made a concerted effort to bridge the gulf between their respective communities. A city-wide transportation system is available to all students, and it stops at all of the city's major attractions. The American Tobacco Campus, Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), Durham Art Guild, historic Carolina Theatre, and numerous other attractions have transformed downtown Durham a vibrant destination that rivals Raleigh's cultural appeal and Chapel Hill's college town charm. DPAC, for example, now hosts all of the touring Broadway shows and many of the major concert acts that visit the Triangle region. Disregard the literature Duke publishes about not needing a car on campus: as much as I admire and respect environmental efforts, my car is often the only means of transportation between the university and anything beyond Durham proper, such as the city's swanky Southpoint Mall complex.
Campus Dining:
At the moment, the principal dining venue on West Campus is undergoing extensive renovations, so on-campus dining options are not as abundant as they once were (and will be upon the new structure's completion). However, the university has responded by bringing a number of food trucks to campus on weekdays; in my opinion, they collectively offer more diverse dining options than were previously available.
Greek Life:
The most commonly voiced complaint about Greek life at Duke is that the fraternities and sororities control the vast majority of social activities, and, to some extent, that is true. However, those activities are largely homogenous; if your interests extend beyond aimlessly drinking in the fraternity and sorority houses with an occasional dose of formal events, alternatives are certainly available. Selective living groups (SLGs) constitute another avenue of fostering a communal atmosphere among students. Ostensibly, they are more accepting and diverse in purpose than the Greek organizations.
Any student can pursue any major, as long as he/she is enrolled in the correct college. Transferring from Pratt to Trinity or vice versa is fairly simple. While the major requirements themselves aren't bad, the Trinity requirements are pretty awful, considering the number of different types of courses you have to take to graduate.
While pre-med students don't necessarily have an easy life, Duke helps you do the best you can. I like the different opportunities that I have while being pre med, like majoring in something completely unrelated. There are a lot of opportunities for what ever you may want - internships, research, shadowing, jobs, etc.
Local Atmosphere:
Durham is a great college town, and Raleigh is very close as well.
A majority of off campus parties are thrown by Greek life. I think it is great experience, and if you don't want to be a part of it you don't have to. It's not overwhelming at all.
Greek Life:
While Greek life isn't for everyone, who ever wants to be a part of this can easily do so.
Campus Dining:
Campus dining is not really the best, especially for freshman. The freshman dining hall is not adequate for late night options, or even having variety on a day to day basis.
It is a very accepting environment, whether that be for sexual orientation, ethnicity, economic status etc.
Off-Campus Dining:
Durham is considered the foodiest town in the USA, so there are a plethora of off campus dining options.
Guys & Girls:
I think this university portrays a mixture of both a southern school and a northern school. I think the economic status of the students' families are fairly easy to assess based on the social culture created at the school. While there may be some socio-economic differences between students, for the most part there is a tight-knit community feel, and no one is left out.
Overall Experience:
While the courses themselves are great, sometimes the course expectations are set in the beginning. For example, a Public Policy course that I took ended up being curved to a specific letter grade, and we were not informed of this in the beginning of the course. I think if grade curves are clearly specified in the beginning it can help students choose a more balanced course load.
Overall Experience:
There are no complaints with the quality of the education. The ranking of the university is reflected in the opportunities and services available to the students, in addition to the professors and courses.
Campus Strictness:
Duke is really pretty lenient about most everything that doesn't make them look bad. They understand that their students are going to party, and are going to drink, and as long as freshman aren't being obvious, they can drink whenever. Other then that, as long as you aren't being openly racist, sexist, or classist, you can do a lot without problems.
There are a lot of forms to fill out, but I got a $12k scholarship I didn't even have to apply for, which was nice.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Anonymous
Duke students are generally very happy with their experience, but it's not impossible to find students who imagine they'd be happier somewhere else. Great academics, a vibrant social life, and the beauty of campus make this school an easy choice for many. However, a lot of students are peeved by the top-down social programming they see coming from Duke's administration to counter the fraternity- and sorority-dominated student programming. Students and the administration are still trying to find the right balance of power and a unified direction, but the friendships students have forged with peers and professors easily make up for whatever shortcomings they might perceive.
Duke is one of the top academic schools in the country, but that's not its only hook. You'll never see Harvard's basketball team in the Final Four, or Yale students camping out for weeks to get sports tickets. Obviously, basketball shouldn't be your major concern in choosing a college, but it is often used as an example because it typifies the difference between Duke and so many other top universities. There's an emphasis on friends and fun here, and it's important to consider these aspects as well as academics when you're choosing a school. Remember, you're choosing the place you'll spend the next four years of your life, not just the name that shows up on your degree at the end.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - One of the five Democrats running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia made a stop in Albany Monday.
Vernon Jones flew into Southwest Georgia Regional Airport just after lunch. Jones said if he's elected, he'll work to balance the budget and offer better support to troops when they come home from war.
He also said there should be a partnership between the faith-based community and the government and that he's better for the job than Senator Saxby Chambliss.
"He's been out of touch with mainstream Georgians, farmers and families and small businesses. He can take a bus home, or he can take a plane, whichever one he pays less for gas, doesn't matter, but we going to send him back to Moultrie, Georgia come the fall," says Jones.
Jones, Jim Martin, Dale Cardwell, Josh Lanier, and Rand Knight are all seeking the Democratic nomination to oppose Saxby Chambliss in November.

NIcosia -- Voting is underway to elect a new president of Cyprus, with Chief Returning Officer Andreas Assiotis saying that all polling stations opened on time on Sunday morning and are are operating smoothly.
He said all polling stations in Cyprus opened at 0700 local time (0500 GMT), as well as those in Greece and Bulgaria.
Assiotis noted that his office would be updated on developments continuously.
He furthermore assured that so far there have been no problems or difficulties, and "that is why we are optimistic that we will be able to meet the commitments we have undertaken until the closing of the polling stations and the announcement of results."
Assiotis said the results were expected at around 2000 local time.
A total of 1,139 polling stations are operating for 545,491 voters, of which 311 are on the list of persons enclaved in the Turkish-occupied areas of the Republic, and 14,441 who will be voting at one of the 40 polling stations abroad.
There are eleven candidates contesting the elections, including two women. The three main candidates are the President of the main opposition Democratic Rally (Disy) party Nicos Anastasiades, who is backed by the centre right Democratic Party (Diko), Stavros Malas, who has secured the support of the ruling left wing party AKEL and Giorgos Lillikas, former foreign minister who is backed by the socialist Edek party and others.
The rest of the presidential hopefuls are: Praxoula Antoniadou Kyriakou, Georgios Charalambous, Lakis Ioannou, Makaria Antri Stylianou, Loucas Stavrou, Solon Gregoriou, Andreas Efstratiou, and Costas (Utopos) Kyriakou.
If no candidate secures 50% plus one vote there will be a run-off next Sunday between the two front runners

With the outbreak of athletes signing up to endorse adult diapers I thought I would look into products that Big 12 coaches could represent in the future. Here goes...
Gary Patterson: Sham-Wow! Move over towel girl, sham-wow has enough absorbency to soak up a whole game's worth of Gary Patterson's sweat and still wipe away Casey Pall Malls tears after he loses in Lubbock on September 12th. Note: Casey Pall Mall meeting Vince the Sham Wow Guy is likely to result in a party that would make Amy Winehouse jealous.
Mack Brown: Life Alert Bracelet he already wears one around the 40 acres, however, instead of calling 911 it goes straight to Major Applewhite...bad news for Mack, even if Applewhite isn't too busy philandering with a CoEd, he is more likely to give Chris Simms mouth to mouth than call an ambulance for Clapping Mack.
Bob Stoops: ADT Home Security systems, he'll even do one of those hokey commercials where he comes home just in time to scare off the perpetrator (Vince Young likely to be cast as the perp, it'll be a stretch for Vince to play this role in a house instead of a Skrip Club)
Dana Holgerson: Extense and Axe Body Spray. Don't know if it's because of the leather jackets or his resemblance of Matthew McConaghey but something about Holgerson screams "I buy products that are only advertised on SPIKE TV"
Paul Rhoads: Robitussin/Claritin/Oven Cleaner/Draino- I don't know much about Iowa, but I have a friend who went to a small college there and 2 things he mentioned that stuck out to me: (1) you can take back empty bottle and get cash for them (coin may be a better term than cash) and (2) Iowa has a massive meth problem. So I can only assume that Iowans would want to cook their meth with supplies endorsed by Paul Rhoads.
Mike Gundy: Androgel. As we know Gundy is a man and he is 40, which coincidentally puts him at high risk of suffering from Low-T. Add in his overuse of hair spray and irritability, and it is clear that Gundy is the posterboy for Low-T suffers everywhere (cough Skip Bayless cough)
Art Briles: Briles Bail Bonds (reality show) Briles has partially built his team with players whose legal troubles forced them out of bigger programs (See: Phil Taylor and Shawn Oakman, though I wouldn't put Oakman's troubles on the same level as Taylor's). This combined with Briles no-nonsense facial expressions make him a shoe in to replace Dog the Bounty Hunter after the Dog is tragically strangled in his sleep by his own mullet.
Charlie Weis: Man-pons. Not since Ruffin McNeill went to ECU has the Big 12 seen this much butt sweat. Unless McNeill decides to jump on the man-pon endorsement train, Weis is a shoe in to be talking about super absorbency and leak protection.
Bill Snyder: Magic the Gathering- Bill Snyder is a wizard so it's only appropriate he promote a product centered around Magic.
Kliff Kingsbury: King will forego slinging other people's products to promote his own line of cologne ATMO. Spoiler alert, it smells like fresh air because it's just air in a cologne bottle, but people will buy it like crazy because everyone loves Kliff.
Johnny Football's parents: The Total Transformation Child Behavior Program. (Not a Big 12 coach but it was just too easy)

Guam - A motion hearing was held this morning in Carlo Branch's ongoing lawsuit against the Guam Election Commission. He was represented in court by Attorney William Pole, while the GEC was represented by Attorney Cesar Cabot and the Calvo-Tenorio team was represented by Attorney Mike Phillips.
Branch filed a civil lawsuit following the 2010 general election asking the court to determine that the GEC failed to follow the law when it provided public notices for a number of commission meetings that were held prior to and after the 2010 general election. Branch also alleges the commission made no arrangements for individuals with disabilities. In court it wasn't completely clear whether he was also seeking the 2010 election results be overturned.
Attorneys Cabot and Phillips have filed motions to dismiss on behalf of their clients. Pole said, "We were making clear to the court is that while one of the things that we mentioned is voiding the election, that is not the only relief because it's not an election - we're not trying to void the election, per se. That's just possible relief, but making the agency responsible such as fining them by finding that they have not followed through is also possible relief."
Phillips said, "As you saw in court it doesn't appear they had a direct answer for the court and I think its apparent because they do want that to happen and at the same time they recognize under the statutes they're not allowed for that to happen." Cabot also stated, "I have everything the court will see this for what it is a frivolous case and the election challenge, the plaintiff is trying to pretend that this is an election challenge that is the exact motivation surrounding this case there is a political agenda behind filing this case."
The court has taken the motion to dismiss under advisement.

Back in November, Sen. Richard Codey (D-27) told NJ Today Managing Editor Mike Schneider that he would soon make a decision about running for governor. At the time, he said Newark Mayor Cory Booker's own gubernatorial intentions would not be a factor in his decision.
When asked today if he had made a decision, Codey said he was still thinking it over now that Booker has decided to stay out of the race.
"You have to appreciate that the Booker thing kept us kind of in hostage [or] whatever you want to call it," Codey said.
When announcing his decision, Booker indicated that he would explore running for U.S. Senate, which Codey found unusual.
"No disrespect for the mayor, he created a great brand for himself. No doubt about it. But all politicians talk about the next election and not some election two years from now."
The man currently in that office — Frank Lautenberg — has yet to declare his intentions about keeping his Senate seat. But according to Codey, if the 88 year-old Lautenberg wants to run for re-election, he'll be a force to deal with.
"I tell you what — I think the man has a pair of testicles, bar no one, even at his age."
As for his own political prospects, Codey said he's doing his due diligence in considering a possible run for governor. "When I get all my facts, I'll make a decision that's right for me and my family and the people of the state of New Jersey."
To be sure, he's looking for political donors should he decide to run against an incumbent who is reported to have raised more than $2.1 million since he announced his re-election Nov. 26.
"If I'm going to be David versus Goliath, I want the slingshot and I want the rocks too," said Codey. "We all know that the super PACs will fund Mr. Christie to a large extent. It is what it is, but I don't think you have to match him dollar for dollar at all."
Gov. Christie delivered the State of the State address on Tuesday, which Democratic leaders have roundly criticized as failing to recognize the economic realities facing the state.
Codey said New Jersey's statistics contradicts the rosy economic picture the governor presented. "We're second in the country for foreclosures, we're fourth highest in unemployment, 47th in economic growth. So I don't know where he gets all these roses from," he said.
According to a Star-Ledger report, a Treasury Department audit reveals the state closed fiscal 2012 with a $123 million shortfall that forced Christie to balance the budget by dipping into the already depleted rainy-day fund.
Comparing Christie's budget to a Penn and Teller magic trick, Codey said the administration's failure to meet the state's obligations makes a mockery of Christie's criticism of past governors.
"You can't have it both ways. you can't say when you weren't in office they didn't do a good job on the economy but now I'm in office the economy is bad it's not my fault. Well you can't have it both ways. It's as simple as that."
Turning to the topic of gun control, Codey had this message for Gov. Christie:
"You know governor, you've said this is a complicated issue. Respectfully, it's not. I urge you to join the president, Mayor Bloomberg and Gov. Cuomo and get on board on this issue. Now, we've been a leader on gun control in this state for a very long time. Step up, do the right thing, join us, all of us."
Even though he is calling for federal regulation on guns, Codey said Christie's national profile is such that he can influence the debate as other politicians are doing.
"When you're a leader, your voice and his voice is certainly heard … He can raise his voice like Cuomo, like Bloomberg, like the president. It's not a complicated issue. It's an issue that we all care about.

Camping with the Grandkids by Penny Jans - about 1 year ago
"Every year we camp for a week with our five grandchildren...no parents allowed! In the past I just bought field day t-shirts from my school for all of us. This year it was fun to order special shirts from CustomInk: 6th Annual Week in the Woods with Gramp and Gram J. There were many helpful hints in creating the shirts, and the kids love them! The shirts were delivered as requested in a very timely manner. We spent the week before July 4th hiking in McCormick Creek State Park in Indiana. "

What looked like a tight ACC game after 20 minutes (37-37) turned into a Maryland blowout of Wake Forest with an 86-58 win highlighted by Tianna Hawkins' record-setting double-double. With 18 points and 24 rebounds, Hawkins set the program's rebounding record in only 27 minutes on the floor. The record had previously been shared by two members of the 1977 team, Angie Scott and Debbie Jones.
Four other Terps were in double digits for points.


text: I had a fight with my boyfriend of over three years and now he's just ignoring me. I call him and he doesn't answer. Doesn't return calls. Outright ignores me on IM. He used to tell me that he didn't love me, because the concept of "love" didn't really register with him as meaning anything, but that he did "have feelings." A few months ago, after breaking up, we got back together and all of a sudden he was telling me that he loved me. Everything was going good, but then we had a fight about something retarded and he's ignoring me. He does this every time we fight, and I feel like it's entirely disrespectful. Most of the time I get mad because of something he did, then I threaten not to talk to him, so then he just doesn't talk to me and I end up crawling back to him. No apologies ever. I know this is f'd up and yet I continue to try and contact him whenever he does this. There are plenty of other guys who want to go out with me, and yet I'm hung up on this guy, because we get along so well. We're like best friends normally, but then a dispute happens and it's like I don't exist anymore. Why can't I leave this guy alone?

Surgeon Sanjay Sharma nominated for Hospital Heroes Award
3:20pm Monday 21st January 2013 in Health By Melanie Adams, Crime Reporter
A HAMPSHIRE grandmother left shocked by a sudden cancer diagnosis found the strength to fight on thanks to the bedside manner of her surgeon.
Rita Jarvis was left horrified when the mole which she had on her forehead for years suddenly began to get darker and became cancerous.
Before she knew it, the 66-year-old from Romsey was being told that she needed surgery at Southampton General Hospital to remove it fast, before the disease spread any further.
But it was thanks to the care and attention from consultant face and neck surgeon Sanjay Sharma, that Rita found the courage to face her battle without too much fear.
That's why she has nominated Mr Sharma for the Daily Echo's Hospital Heroes Award, which celebrates the hard work and dedication of staff at Southampton General Hospital, the Princess Anne Hospital and Countess Mountbatten Hospice.
Mrs Jarvis, who has now had the malignant melanoma completely removed, said: "Mr Sharma just made me feel really at home, explaining everything that was going to happen, when I was still in shock really.
"Even when I was going down to surgery he came along and got hold of the trolley and said that he was going to do a good job, making me laugh and really putting me at ease. I didn't feel afraid at all.
"He was just wonderful. I couldn't fault him, he was just so kind."
Mr Sharma added: "I feel extremely proud and happy to have been nominated for this award. I have always loved the privilege and challenge of caring for my patients but receiving the accolade of a nomination from someone I have personally looked after is very special indeed and makes me feel that what I do is even more meaningful, valuable and worthwhile."
The deadline for nominations has now passed.

Although the status of Ravens RB Ray Rice (knee) was iffy early in the week, it looks like the fantasy star will play Sunday at Pittsburgh. Read about that and other important late-week news in the "Fantasy Buzz."
Ravens' run defense underwhelming early
Is the Ravens' run defense a problem? The numbers through three games weren't flattering — 127.7 rushing yards per game allowed, including 173 yards to Cleveland.
Ravens RB Rice says he'll play on Sunday
Ravens RB Ray Rice told reporters that he will play in Week Four vs. the Steelers despite bruising his knee last week.
Reports: Jets sign four-time Pro Bowler Pryce
Four-time Pro Bowl DL Trevor Pryce reportedly signed with the Jets on Thursday.
Ravens RB Rice misses practice with knee injury
Ravens RB Ray Rice missed practice Wednesday with a knee contusion suffered in Baltimore's 24-17 win over Cleveland Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Ravens release Pryce, re-sign Hamlin
The Ravens released veteran DE Trevor Pryce on Wednesday and re-signed S Ken Hamlin.
Steelers QB Batch will start Week Four
After a win in his first start since 2007, Charlie Batch will start at QB again in the Steelers' Week Four game against the Ravens.
Ravens RB Rice has 'significant' knee contusion
Ravens RB Ray Rice has "a significant contusion" on his knee, the team said Monday. His status for Sunday's game against undefeated Pittsburgh will depend on how quickly it heals, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Oher was fined $5,000 by the NFL for his actions in Sunday's game against Cleveland.||||||| Oher's fine stems from punching Browns defensive end Robaire Smith. Oher hit Smith after Smith shoved Baltimore tight end Todd Heap following a whistle that had stopped play for a false start.
The two-hour practice for the Ravens on Friday was notable for several reasons. Oher moved to left tackle - thereby assuming responsibility for the quarterback's blind side - and Jared Gaither shifted to the right side.||||||| It was clear that this move would come to fruition. Oher's story in the Michael Lewis book "The Blind Side" chronicled his rise from poverty to a star football player in college at Ole Miss. The title is derived from Oher's ability to protect the blind side and the book was turned into a movie by the same title in which actress Sandra Bullock received her first career Academy Award.
The Ravens have reached a five-year deal with Oher.||||||| The deal reached Wednesday ends a two-day holdout by Oher, the No. 23 pick in this year's NFL draft. The contract is expected to exceed the five-year, $12.55 million deal that last year's pick at Oher's slot - Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall - signed last summer. Oher, projected to start at right tackle, is the last rookie of the Ravens' draft class this year to agree to terms.

Have you ever nodded off during a sermon? Maybe you missed church a couple of weeks in a row? Well there's one pastor who is just fed up with it.
In May, Pastor Jim Sandridge stood in front of his congregation at the Immanuel Baptist Church of Skiatook (that's in Oklahoma) and began calling out specific people; one for sleeping, the next for not being at church every Sunday.
But the bizarre rant continue when the pastor threatened to quit, and then begin going off on the guy in the video booth.
It was all caught on tape, and now, just a couple of months later, it's going viral.
Check it out, and tell us if you there is a reason for the rant.

A film festival would be so freaking cool.
It wouldn't affect me at all. I can wait till Monday.
Bonus points for horrible puns.
Never. That's why its brown and crunchy.
I had noticed that a lot of trees around town were dying. So sad.
Rain has been in the forecast for a while now....so I don't really get why they are doing this when it's already going to rain for several days.
I want to see Victoria grow. All these changes are exciting. Maybe one day we will get a World Market.
Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe. I agree that a small Hello Kitty/Sanrio store would probably do well in Victoria. Also, we have no toy stores, so maybe that would do good.
That's so cool!

80s brought us some great television, but one of the best shows of all
times was definitely Beauty and the Beast. No, not quite Disney's 1991
animated version – but a grown up take on this classic story starring
Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. The show debuted on September 5, 1987.
The storyline of this grown-up tale revolves around Vincent (Ron
Perlman) and Catherine (Linda Hamilton).
Catherine plays a
New York district attorney who is attacked by strangers. Vincent finds
her and nurses her back to health in his home underneath the New York
subway. Typical guy finds girl, guy saves girl, guy and girl fall in
love story, right? Wrong!
The thing about Vincent is that he's a man-beast, but not your typical
man-beast (of the half lion variety). Vincent is a kind and compassionate
man-beast (and an empath too!). He lives in a community in the Tunnels (an
underground world beneath New York) where other "freaks" find a safe
haven. While you can't exactly call it love at first sight, it is
definitely a love story that had all of us swooning back in the day. I
mean, if Mr. Darcy was half lion, he'd be a lot like Vincent – the strong,
solid type.
the show only lasted 2 and a half seasons, it has definitely earned a cult
following. In fact, it was voted #14 in TV Guide's list of the "25 Top
Cult Shows Ever!" (30 May 2004 issue).
IMDB summarizes the
demise of the show, "Due to her pregnancy, Linda Hamilton wanted out of
the show and was therefore killed off at the end of Season 2. She was
replaced by Jo Anderson who played a detective and the new love interest
of Vincent. Due to the abrupt drop in the ratings after Hamilton leaving,
the show was canceled in the middle of Season 3."
You can still catch episodes of Beauty and the Beast on television every
once in a while. You can also
get the DVD. In a perfect world we'd say "and they lived happily ever
after," but you'll have to watch the series to find out for sure.

Oh man, two and a half extra days off work this week and somehow I feel extra tired. It makes no sense but perhaps I can blame it on all the awesome food I have been consuming over the past four days.
So, it's back to work for me tomorrow. Remember that if you make (or have already made) a donation of $20 or more you can help me get dressed in the morning. I'm still going to be wearing this little black dress for the next 5 days but you can have a say in what I look like. Within reason (and yes, I get to be the judge of that) you can detail the rest of what I am wearing. After you donate, you can make a suggestion and hope I have something like that in my closet or you can check my wardrobe remix set on flickr for ideas. Leave a message on my giving page or post a comment on the blog. My co-dressember participant Amanda is helping me out with tomorrow's layers but if you have any ideas.... I'd love to see my Right To Play donations crack the $800 mark by New Year's Eve.
Dress - Vero Moda
Hat - Roxy
Necklace - the Bay

For those of you reading who are confused by this Dressember thing, please read my first post about how I am trying to raise a little bit of money for a very cool charity.

Government buildings are potential targets for psychopaths intent on killing dozens.
They are also the target of disgruntled current or former employees.
The Missouri Highway Patrol held sessions Monday to prepare government employees for possible mass shooting scenes at their offices.
Troopers stressed preparing for a plan and avoiding places that could leave you trapped. Keeping a close eye out on your surroundings is also key.

"Hairspray" Star Nikki Blonsky Lands Recurring Role on NBC's "Smash"
By Michael Gioia
Nikki Blonsky, who starred as Tracy Turnblad in the 2007 film of the Tony-winning musical "Hairspray," will play a recurring role on the second season of the NBC musical drama "Smash," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Although details of Blonsky's role are being kept under wraps, news of her casting broke when "Smash" co-star Wesley Taylor tweeted a photo that was captioned, "@NBCSmash W/ @NikkiBlonsky."
Blonsky, who rose to fame in the movie musical "Hairspray" — produced by Neil Meron and Craig Zadan of "Smash" — has also been seen in "Queen Sized," "Harold" and "Ugly Betty," among others.
She will join previously announced Season Two additions stage and screen actor Jesse L. Martin (Rent), Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson, Tony Award nominees Jeremy Jordan and Sean Hayes, and Andy Mientus of Off-Broadway's Carrie.
For the series' second season, Josh Safran succeeds Theresa Rebeck (Seminar) as showrunner — the person in charge of all aspects of the story.
Before "Smash" returns to NBC, read Playbill.com's weekly recap of the series, The "Smash" Report, beginning with the show's Season One finale.

Hi everyone,
I'm putting out a request to fellow hockey fans in the Bay area and beyond. The rink where my son plays in San Mateo might close next May. He's about to turn 7 and has been learning to play hockey for 2 years. He's about to start his first full season of travel hockey this Fall. I think everyone who lives here understands that we need more ice rinks not less.
The company that owns the space wants to turn the rink into more retail space. In return they will build a public bathroom at a park and replace a soccer field with synthetic turf. An ice rink is a unique facility (especially in CA) that a soccer field just can not replace. The opportunity to play a winter sport like hockey in CA year round is pretty special.
One of the parents of his team has set up a petition to help save the rink we call home 5 days a week. It can be found here: http://www.change.org/petitions/mayor-brandt-grotte-san-mateo-city-council-please-don-t-take-away-our-ice-rink
I hope you're willing to sign this online petition.
Thanks for your consideration,

Americans Receive Failing Grade on Global Warming Knowledge
Posted by akeenan | Posted in Education, Greenhouse Gas, Science | Posted on 21-10-2010
A study from Yale asked Americans a variety of questions on global warming science and graded them on an A-F grading scale. Over half of the respondents received an F, and only 8% got an A or B. Here are some points that particularly stick out:
- Half of the respondents think that global warming is anthropogenic, a third think that global warming is naturally occurring, and 7% challenge its existence.
- Television is the most informative form of media regarding global warming information (88%), but the internet is the preferred form for people who want to learn more about the topic (38%).
- 20% think the energy from fossil fuels originally came from uranium in the Earth.
My personal favorite: "43% of Americans incorrectly believe that if we stopped punching holes in the ozone layer with rockets, it would reduce global warming."
So if you're reading this blog, chances are that your knowledge of global warming is significantly greater than the vast majority of the public. Congratulations!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sally Ride is being remembered as a pioneer who led the way for women into space.
The astronaut died today at her home in southern California at age 61, after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Ride rode into space on the space shuttle Challenger on June 18, 1983. Since then, 42 other American women flew in space.
NASA Offers Condolences on the Passing of Pioneering Astronaut Sally Ride
Eileen Collins, the first female space shuttle commander, said Ride never sought attention for herself "but rather focused on doing her normally outstanding job."
President Barack Obama called her a national hero and a "powerful role model". In a statement, the president said Ride "inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars" and "fought tirelessly to help them get there by advocating for a greater focus on science and math" in the nation's schools.
