I love Angleton Christian School. God is doing a powerful work in the lives of the students, families, and staff. We continue to grow and are now at 185 enrolled in PK3-grade 12 at the end of May 2014. Our students in high school leave with many hours of dual college credits and we had a large number of our students in grades 1-8 who went to state competition at TCU in Fort Worth this spring after winning academic awards at PSIA competition. We are very proud of our school and it is continuing to produce great academic and sprirtual growth and achievement.
In all honesty I am not particularly religious. Also, i'm not from Angleton and don't live in Angleton. However, I wanted to try and keep my kids out of public schools where government policy decides what's best for children (Scary). My daughter has attended ACS for a short time now, but so far it is like night and day. Even though I wasn't raised in a Christian environment, i find myself taking comfort in hearing my daughter say a prayer before meals or bedtime. It seems natural and I find myself becoming influenced by that as well. She even picks out Christian themed books at the bookstore all by herself. I try my best to depict what is going on in the stories for her at night. All that aside, the kids at this school seem to have a great time and my daughter seems to be learning and taking interest in learning. Bottom line is she's happy, which shocks me sometimes because there are very few days that I remember enjoying from my own public school experiences. As long as we can afford the cost we'll continue to send her. At this point ACS would have to fall far from the tree to disappoint us.
This is our third year at ACS. We are very pleased and would highly recommend this school.
this school is all about the money if you are not apart of the thier little group they treat you like a outcast & will forged your signature on papers that you never sign to get thier money they are not christian!
I am so thankful that God led us to ACS! I have two children enrolled this year and love it. I have watched my younger child come out of his shell and they are both learning so much academically and spiritually. Nothing warms your heart more than your children reciting bible stories and verses along with all of their newly acquired academic skills! The principal, teachers and staff are all wonderful and we are blessed to be apart! God is so good!
This is my second year to teach at Angleton Christian School. What a blessing! All day I am surround with a talented caring staff who go above and beyond to make sure each child has an excellent education. God is at the center of all decisions made. Students are happy, caring, well rounded individuals who are learning life's lessons daily in a caring, nurturing environment. We have a brand new facility and our enrollment is growing. I am proud to be a teacher at Angleton Christian School and pray for our continued success.
I have 2 sons attending Angleton Christian School. My oldest son has been enrolled since the middle of his 3rd grade year and we both have had a awesome experience with learning through education, spritually & just becoming a part of the Angleton Christian School Family. He has attended other Private Christian based schools since Pre-K 4 year of school, I must say until we joined ACS we both agree that we have found our home. The following scripture summarizes what I feel ACS focus is; Matthew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need" Angleton and Brazoria County and my family is very blessed to have Angleton Christian School.
I am a new teacher at ACS and was shocked to read even one single negative thing about this school. After retiring from teaching in public school for 30 years, I substituted in many schools, inlcuding ACS. My experience there was so wonderful, it made me want to return to teaching if I could teach at a school that had the Christian atmosphere shown to students, parents and staff that I saw first hand everyday at ACS. Now that I'm here I absolutely love it. Besides the loving staff, the parents and PTO are incredible. You might want to come see for yourself because everyone I've seen displays a Christian attitude of love and acceptance to every law abiding citizen of all races and religions. Contrary to the one posting I read, I've met people of varied races and religions and everyone is treated equally with love and compassion.
This is our 6th year at ACS. We are truly thankful to God that our children have had the opportunity to attend such a Christ centered school. ACS has an outstanding group of Christian Administrators, Teachers and Staff. All children public or private face many challenges in life. Academic, physical, financial, social.... The difference at ACS is that the children are being taught daily to rely on God and his word the Bible to see them through these challenges. This is what will sustain them for the rest of their lives. For our family it is extremely important for our children to excel academically but even more important to excel spiritually. You cannot put a price on this type of education. Praise be to God!
I love ACS!! My daughter loves going to school each day and she is taken care of, prayed for, and is learning lots. It is a safe and loving Christian environment. The headmaster and the school do not compromise on strong Christian character, morals, or values and as a parent it is very refreshing!!
This is the 3rd year that my 2 sons have attended ACS. I can't tell you what a blessing it has been to our family. We had recently moved to Angleton when we enrolled our sons & didn't know very many people. We were welcomed with open arms & now truly feel part of the ACS "family". I continue to be amazed as the school adds such incredible, experienced teachers & so blessed that my children are not only getting a top notch education but are surrounded with such loving teachers, staff and volunteer parents that not only teach them but show them the love of Jesus everyday through scripture & their actions. We are not a financially affluent family but I promise one thing, every sacrifice we make so that our children can attend ACS is well worth it! I honestly can't imagine my children going to school anywhere else.
I was surprised to see the negative comment made by a previous post.We have nothing but positive things to say about ACS. Since the previous post said to look up the definition of "Christian", eventhough I know what it is, I googled it and this is the definition: "Professing belief in Jesus as Christ and following a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus." I know ACS professes and teaches that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. I also know (because when interviewing the school I asked) that all teachers and staff have accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord of their lives. As far as how your child is treated once the doors are closed, clearly that poster's children do not go to ACS because they would know first hand (as this parent does) the love that the children receive at ACS. And racist? No way!!
I absolutely love ACS and feel it is the epitome of what Christian education should be. ALL children are welcome at ACS. Sadly, all parents may not be. As a parent of two students, I strongly agree with the board s decision to uphold Biblical values regarding parent volunteers. It only confirms to me what I ve known since my children started school at ACS. They have my children s best interest at heart with regard to education, as well as, safety.
I enrolled my daughter in ACS Decemer of last year. She use to hate going to school when she attended public school but she loves it at ACS. The teachers and the staff are great people. It's a great learning environment. My daughter's grades have improved and she looks forward to going to school. I disagree with the pervious comment I read about them being races. I am a Pacific Islander/Asian; the school and staff have been nothing but nice to me and my family!! Keep up the good work ACS! We look forward to a great year!
My child loves ACS. She has only been going their for a week and a half, but she loves it. Everyone is vey nice and friendly. She is getting more one on one attention at ACS than she would get at a public school, because they keep their class sizes small. We are very pleased with our choice of sending her to ACS.
My daughter is on her 4th year at ACS and truly loves it! She had been with me, her Mom, as I was a stay-at-home Mother, therefore she was quite shy from not being around alot of other children. She adapted very well in this Christian environment and has exceeded my expectations on grades as well as socially. Keep up the good work ACS!!!
I am so excited that I have been able to enroll all 3 of my children in ACS. They are in a Christian environment with teachers who care not only about their education, but also their spiritual welfare. The teachers are wonderful, and I feel confident that my children will receive an excellent education to prepare them for college and life.
Angleton christian school is a wonderful school and it I feel truly blessed to be a part of it. I am a teacher at ACS and my children attend the school as well. We are thrilled that we can go to a school/job where we can freely express the love that we have for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless Angleton Christian School!
As you may figure out all of these reviews have been written by teachers or by parents that are in the "click". They paint a pretty picture and fill you with words you want to hear but on the inside it is not what they say at all. It is a different story behind the doors. Be careful in enrolling your child here , they are not what they say. They are quick to take your money and paint the picture but your child be treated alot different once the doors are closed. They are NOT accepting of all races and origins ! They say they are "christians" but maybe they should look up the definition , they are far from that !
Angleton Christian School has been a true blessing to our family. My daughter is learning more than I ever expected. The faculty, staff and administrator do a superb job at ensuring the best for all students. We are extremely pleased with our experience at ACS and highly reccommend the school.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Passengers aboard a diverted EgyptAir flight bound for John F. Kennedy International Airport have finally arrived at their destination following a threat and an emergency landing in Scotland.
A Massachusetts woman aboard Saturday's flight 985 said they were told the plane had to make an unscheduled landing because of a technical problem.

Great column Professor Sowell! I always feel compelled to point out a less often consequence of higher taxes on the rich - the way it effects the smallest businesses, service businesses that are often run by one person, or with a tiny number of employees. These are the gardeners who drive around town with a lawnmower or pool cleaning equipment in the back of their ancient pickup truck. The lady who scrubs the toilets of her neighbors to make ends meet. The massage therapist, manicurist or hairdresser who rent a station in a salon. When "rich" people making $250 thou has less money lying around to spend on themselves these entrepreneurs are the ones who suffer the most.

A while back a rumor surfaced that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be returning for the new J.J. Abrams Star Wars movies and that actor Ewan McGregor would be reprising the role. However, as amazing as it would be to have McGregor return to a galaxy far, far away, the actor recently told E! News that he hasn't yet been contacted about playing Obi-Wan for a fourth time.
"They haven't phoned me yet," McGregor told me at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of his new ensemble drama, August: Osage County.
But if they do, he said, "I'd be up for it."
McGregor was asked while attending the Toronto Film Festival showing of his latest film August: Osage County. But while the actor has appeared in numerous films since starring in 1999's The Phantom Menace, he is still best remembered as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel films.
So far J.J. Abrams hasn't officially cast a single role in the film but there have been plenty of rumors about who could be appearing. While not yet official, it's believed that Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will all be back for the new film with other younger actors being targeted for the children of the characters fans have fallen in love with.
If Abrams wants to put Obi-Wan in his first Star Wars film, McGregor is really his only option. Not only is he the latest actor to have played the role, he's the only one still alive. Sir Alec Guinness died back in 1999 meaning McGregor is the last Kenobi standing and recasting the role makes little sense for Abrams, especially with McGregor up for reprising the role.

A plug-in method...
This was sent in as an anonymous hint, but it really belongs with this hint as a comment, so here it is:
"A few days ago you published a hint about keyboard navigation in Mail.app. I have a way of accomplishing the same thing as in that hint, but it's with a plugin instead of a script. It's a little friendlier to use than the script because it doesn't have to be triggered with a shortcut (it's always active). It's also faster.
For those who missed out on the previous hint, the plugin (TypeAheadFind) adds keyboard navigation to the Mail.app message viewer. While the message list has focus, type a few characters - the selection will jump to the nearest message whose From, To or Subject columns match the typed characters. It's similar to what happens when you type with a folder in front in the Finder.
This is a Eudora feature that I couldn't live without. I never use the mouse for navigation in Mail anymore, the keyboard is much quicker."

Jets Insider.com Staff Writer
November 12th, 2007
After four days off to clear their minds, Gang Green returned to Weeb Ewbank Hall on Monday with all their focus now shifting toward the Pittsburgh Steelers.
At 1-8 the Jets return from the bye week with no chance of playoff contention and face the task of playing their last 7 games of the season for nothing but pride. Things get no easier as they face the 7-2 Steelers on Sunday then travel three days later to Dallas for a Turkey Day matchup against the 8-1 Cowboys. With a six game losing streak under their belt the Jets will now try to play spoiler against playoff hopefuls.
Sometimes you have to have that mentality. You have to be ticked off about your situation and try to ruin for someone else, said LB David Bowens.
Many of the questions that Mangini was asked during his 20-minute press conference were about how he goes about keeping his team in the right mind frame. Mangini communicated to his team that no matter what their record is, no matter what the situation is they still have to approach the season on a week-by-week basis.
It really is a week-to-week approach. It was that way last year and thats the best way to make progress, said Mangini. I talked to players this morning about each day going out to practice with a plan and identify something individually they want to work at.
Manginis players echoed his sentiments.
Thats the approach you have to take because it is what is, said Bowens about the week-by-week strategy the Jets are employing. It gives us are mentality that is we have nothing to lose. Guys can go out there and exert themselves and play 110%.
Bowens is person that has been in this situation before. Bowens has spent his last five plus seasons in Miami and knows exactly what type of mindset is needed to play when the playoffs are no longer an option.
Despite being a 1-8 team, Bowens said the Jets are a confident group. He said everybody in the locker room is feeling refreshed from the bye and is ready to get back into action.
Were a 1-8 team, so were not going to start patting ourselves on the back, Bowens said. But we have the confidence that we can start winning some games. We are going to approach this thing one game at a time. If we just stay focused we can salvage a little bit of the season and end it on some sort of a good note
A win against the Steelers is something that could serve as bigger confidence boost than the bye. If the Jets can upset the Pittsburgh, they have more confidence as their schedule does not get any easier looking forward.
Youth on the Sidelines
On Sunday, Mangini will get to use a weapon he never gets use. Mangini will get a chance to use his age as advantage. Mangini will be the older of two head coaches this Sunday. Mangini was born on January 19, 1971, while his counterpart Mike Tomlin was born on March 15, 1972.
Revis Facing Hometown Team
When CB Darrelle Revis takes the field on Sunday; he will be doing so against the team he grew up watching. Revis who is from Aliquippa, PA said he is excited to play his hometown team but he also realizes that this is just another game with another daunting task.
Its great, its my hometown team and I know a lot of guys on that team, said Revis. Its going to be cool playing against my hometown team. Im excited to play against the Steelers and its going to be fun.
Mangold sees Alma Mater fumble
With their time off last week many players spent their time off by returning home to spend time with their families. While others spent their time to see their former college teams in action. C Nick Mangold spent his time Columbus, Ohio watching his collegiate team the Ohio State Buckeyes get upset by Illinois.
When you cant stop the run and dont play well offensively it wont get the job done, Mangold said.
That sounds very similar to what Jets fans say about Gang Green after they see the Jets play.
Vilma Update
Mangini updated the media on the condition of LB Jonathan Vilma during his Monday press conference. And after three weeks of speculation Mangini confirmed it was the right knee of Vilma that had the surgery. The head coach did not state what kind of surgery Vilma underwent or when he expects Vilma to participate in spring team workouts.
Practice Notes
WR Laveranues Coles and WR Chris Davis both returned to practice today. Coles practiced without a red jersey on meaning he is likely a go for Sunday....Eric Mangini was very verbal with his players. During one-on-one drills Mangini was seen taking players aside and critiquing them. Some of the players that had the pleasure to speak with Mangini were CB's Darrelle Revis and Drew Coleman as well as S Erik Coleman....Jason Trusnik changed his jersey number from 48 to 57.
Gang Green is off tomorrow but they will return to practice on Wednesday. As always log on to JI.com for all the latest news on everything Jets.

Of over the 150 styles of LA Idol Jeans at Gliks.com, the Chopper Cross Bootcut Jean is unique because of the rhinestone and stud detailed cross design on the back pockets. The small 5th pocket inside the right front pocket of these jeans also features this design. Not all of the LA Idol Jean designs include studs, so if your style (or outfit) is edgy, rocker chic, these jeans would be a great addition to your wardrobe.
The LA Idol Jeans Chopper Cross Bootcut has a flap back pocket which will accentuate your curves. Its 33 inch inseam is great for boots, heels & wedges. (Need a new pair? Shop women's shoes.) We love this jean paired with a Sinful or Affliction women's tee for those days where we just feel more edgy and rebellious. Going to a rock concert? These jeans would compliment just about any rock show style. (We'd love to know where you'd wear them! Leave us a review below to help other customers know how they worked for you.)
There is mild fading on this mid to dark wash jean with thick white stitching on the seams. One large rhinestone accents each back pocket and the front button closure. Small distress marks on the front of the jeans complete this fashionable look.
The LA Idol Jeans are considered to be a junior's fit (straight cut through the thigh area instead of a curvy fit.) They are classified as low to mid rise with a fabric content of 3% spandex, which means they will stretch as you wear them. Unsure of what size to get? Check out our LA Idol Jeans Size Chart. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size because of the slim fit.
• 97% Cotton, 3% Spandex • Five Pocket Style with One-button Zip Fly Closure. • Front Rise: 8" Back Rise: 12" Knee: 14" Leg Opening: 17" • Mild Fading throughout, Flap Pockets, White Stitch, Jeweled on back and front pockets. • Machine Wash Cold.

Formations, contracts and tactics were beyond me and I spent years locked in the safe simplicity of Fifa. That changed two years ago when I picked up Football Manager 2010 and I felt ready to take the plunge into something that had previously been so intimidating. Now, in 2011, I love Football Manager, and I have no idea what took me so long to realise it. There is significant issue…

Gold Price Trend
The gold price trend is the direction in which the overall market is moving. A bullish gold price trend is characterized by higher highs and higher lows. A bearish gold price trend is one in which there are lower highs and lower lows. With a gold price trend that is bullish, investors expect higher prices in the future and purchase gold on the hope that they will profit from this increase.
Inflation at Almost 5%…Is It Any Wonder
Dollars Buy Less and Less?
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
Gold prices rising for 10 years straight…the money supply greatly expanded…the printing press for dollars running overtime…am I the only one concerned about rapid inflation? I rarely read or hear a report talking about today's rising prices or the hyperinflation we may sustain in the years ahead. We all know prices are rising—only housing prices have remained low. Inflation is real and it is here now.
Spot Price of Gold: Why It's
Ready to Take Off Once Again
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
So, with investment risk high and economic data showing lackluster numbers, all the market has to trade on over the near term are corporate earnings and visibility. If what companies report doesn't make the grade, then we should be in for more downside in stocks. Things are the way they are because of a lack of austerity, both at the individual and country level. The fact of the matter is that austerity hurts, but it's exactly what's required over the next few years to get things back on an even keel. What goes around comes around. For far too long, governments have been borrowing on the future of their own citizens in order to get elected. It's happened in all Western countries and now all that debt is starting to bubble over.
Where I See Great Value in This Market
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
Here's the story…
Gold prices usually travel in the opposite direction of the U.S. dollar trend. If the greenback is rising in value against a basket of other major world currencies, the price of gold has historically declined. The opposite is also true: If the U.S. dollar heads down in value, price for gold bullion rises.
Gold Price Holding up Extremely Well—the Bandwagon Has Further to Go
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Investing in gold is a subject that's been well endorsed in this publication and the spot market for gold futures has been due for a correction. But, we aren't getting much of a correction in gold (right now) because global investors feel that investment risk is high enough to justify gold future prices at almost record highs.

Figuring It Out
Episode HINPR-504HSee all Episodes
Tune In
September 30, 2014
8:00 AM e/p
Jung and Angie grew up in Vancouver and met at a mutual friend's party. Within months they were married and by the end of the year they'd packed their TV, and a few of their favorite clothes into their sports car and drove across the continent to where opportunity awaited. In the past two years they've moved five times before buying their first house, a 1960s bungalow in a suburb at the edge of town. The main level is beautifully renovated but the basement apartment has been gutted and they're not sure why, but suspect that there may be water issues. These first time homeowners have had several contractors in to give quotes on what it will take to get it rentable and each one has a different theory, different solution and a different price. They're lost and don't know who to trust and what has to happen in order to ultimately bring in a tenant and the rental income they were counting on. Furthermore, Angie's Dad is holding the mortgage. They need Income Property to solve the issues and create a great income suite.

Seperate Checks?
- s
- suzannajoy May 8, 2012 01:41 PM
I was out to lunch yesterday with a group of ten women. As the waiter began to take our order, several of the women asked that we all have seperate checks. I consider this a breach of restaurant etiquette. What do you think?
It's not a breach of etiquette unless one of them offered to host/treat you and then reneged. It may not be common in your experience, but it is not an etiquette issue as a general matter. The correct time to request separate checks is before or at the time the server takes orders (it becomes an etiquette issue if the request is made after that point, because it's very awkward for the server).
I don't consider it a breach of etiquette, especially with that large a group--unless it was a set price menu and everyone would be having exactly the same thing, including the drinks. There are usually some folks in a group who are more frugal, some that like to have a drink or two, and usually one that has been stiffed when the tab was supposedly split up on some other occasion. With very close friends we will go for one check though a couple we know always asks for their own check because they're dealing with some money problems.
re: escondido123
Agreed. In fact, there are restaurants that are happy to provide you with separate checks and will add the obligatory large group gratuity on to each one of those checks for you.
Not uncommon......
re: Dee S
And the only person conceivably burdened here is the server; but, with large parties, separate checks are a wiser way to ensure a server doesn't get the short end that often happens with large parties going dutch. If the server is willing, I can't see how anyone at the table should have reason to be offended as a general matter.
Why do you think it was a breach of restaurant etiquette?
In my experience the only time that I thought etiquette was breached was on a company trip where they were trying to woo us into moving. The "host" asked for seperate for all the tables and then asked who would cover the table that we were at because we were to lowest ranked and couldn't expense.
If you read a lot of the etiquette threads the most common response in "next time get seperate checks".
Usually its because someone doesn't want to pay more than their share or because they fear that their dining companion isn't a good Tipper.
Is this a regional thing? I live in Boston and rarely see separate checks. In fact, I don't think I've done it in a sit-down restaurant.
re: LeoLioness
I dont think its a region lthing. I just thinks its how your social group interacts. I Wouldn't expect seperate checks unless requested. Have you ever asked for seperate checks? When we sit at the bar we frequently get seperate checks without asking. But unless we ask we rarely get seperate checks when eating in the non bar area.
re: viperlush
I believe it is, actually. We have family that visit from other areas that views separate checks not only as common but as the default state. They hate it when they come to Boston and find that not only is it not default but often declined altogether
re: jgg13
I can see how its regional. We were recently down in Fl visiting bf 's parents (originally from NJ) and we got in a conversation about restaurants. The lack of good restaurants, the overwhelming number of chains, and the frequency in which they now eat at restaurants. His mom mentioned that she is still surprised that when they go out that everyone gets seperate checks. Even at her Red Hat luncheons each of the 12+ women gets their own with out having to ask. His dad said that there are restaurants that they will no longer eat at because they wont do seperate checks.
re: viperlush
Even at her Red Hat luncheons each of the 12+ women gets their own with out having to ask. His dad said that there are restaurants that they will no longer eat at because they wont do seperate checks.
I can absolutely believe the above. No doubt someone calls ahead to make sure the restaurant will do seperate checks. I remember my waitressing days when large groups of older ladies (sans red hats) would dine together. Just keeping the coffee "warmed up" was a job for one waitress alone. (the coffee could have been 221 degrees and it still would have needed a "warm-up" afer each sip)
re: cleobeach
I really don't understand what the problem is. If twelve women,or what ever number, go to a restaurant would a server actually assume that one woman is going to pick up the check? I would assume he or she would ask if there were going to be separate checks if he or she had any brains.
re: Mother of four
The problem is some kitchens can't or don't want to deal with 12 seperate tickets. In that case, it is reasonable to expect the women can work out splitting the check on their own.
re: cleobeach
Then I suggest they ask what sex is making the reservation for how many of the same sex and then refuse the reservation! Written with tongue in cheek!
re: cleobeach
"The problem is some kitchens can't or don't want to deal with 12 seperate tickets."
It depends how modern the POS system is. A fairly new system can present a single order slip to the kitchen while generating separate bills for the customers.
re: Mother of four
I guess I would assume the women would work out the check among themselves (as my friends and I do when we go out in a group).
re: LeoLioness
You would think so, but I can't count the number of times I've ordered the cheapest thing on the menu because I was short of funds and then had the rest say "we each owe $50 plus tip" . I remember once saying that I'd only had soup and no drink and was told that "This way is easier" so there went my grocery money. I remember another occasion when I didn't have enough to cover it, only enough for what I had plus tip, and I was told that if I couldn't pay my "fair share" then I shouldn't have come. You have to be aware of people's situation and allow them some DIGNITY! I resent paying the tab for hard drinking relatives or people who order the most expensive thing. How is that my share?
re: dianne0712
This is why splitting evenly needs to be by express opt-in within a social group. The default is every-tub-on-its-own bottom.
re: dianne0712
Sounds like you need to speak up or else find new dining companions, then.
re: dianne0712
I think that there's a difference between the case where one's share is radically different from what they really owe vs. when it's just slightly different.
I know this isn't what you're talking about but all too often I see a case where someone is raising cain over what realistically is going to amount to a couple of bucks. "Oh, bob got an extra beer, it's not fair to split it up!" ... uhh, $6-7 split 10 ways is less than a dollar. "Mary got the special, it was $10 more than everyone elses!" .... $10 split 5 ways is only $2/pp.
However, if what someone got was say $15 and the even split was $30? that's highway robbery and the splitters should recognize that.
re: LeoLioness
I try to pay attention as I'm often on the higher end in a group so I'd rather be aware if I'd be sticking it to someone else
re: viperlush
Actually, I did notice more separate checks when we I lived in Boston. As poor students, we were more likely to have financial problems and couldn't manage paying for "the group's" extravagances. Also, in Europe it is very common to ask for separate checks, and Boston has a lot of Europeans/European students.
When I lived in England as a student, every time we went out to eat it was separate checks. Even for the huge parties of 20 people getting a cheap curry dinner. This was my first experience with separate checks, and I thought it was great. The servers were used to it, and managed it well. They also tended to get more reliable tips since large groups of students eating together and paying together are NOTORIOUS under-tippers. Although people tip much less in England, of course.
re: violin
But was it based on being in Boston or that you were poor students? It seems that from reading these boards its is more a poor student/mooching friends/uneven incomes that lead to the splitting of checks and not the geographical location of the chowhound. I wasn't aware that there are regions of the country where splitting checks is unheard of or where the default is split checks.
re: viperlush
See, there's the oddity. It is only recently in Boston that I've seen separate checks be something that a place would do, and many places I go to won't do it at all. It has been people from other places that seem to think it is commonplace. There have been previous threads which have claimed it to be geographical (which is where I realized that the people I'd be with asking for separate checks weren't just PITAs).
Maybe it is just reflective of the places that I go in Boston.
re: LeoLioness
I definitely believe this is a regional thing. I rarely see this in NYC but when I visit friends in Memphis or Austin I see it done all the time.
re: LeoLioness
In many restaurants in PA they actual ask "Is this all together?" or "Will this be on one check?" It is more often done in our college towns than in the larger cities.
Thank you all for your replies. My close friends and I always just add the gratuity and split the bill evenly. We figure over time it all works out pretty evenly. I was thinking that we were putting extra burden on the waiter but your replies have helped me revise my thought process.
Breach of restaurant etiquette? Goodness, where did you ever hear that? We do it as a couple all the time and when I go out with women we do it every time. Everyone is much more comfortable ordering what they want and as much as they want.
learned my lesson last week with a group of nine women, they mostly shared apps and had 2 glasses of wine, I had a side salad and one drink, the check comes and they say $18 each because we've divided it by 9. Mine came to $10. I wouldn't mind but when this group of ladies meet they are usually very vocal when they haven't eaten/drunk much but when it suited them they split the check.
re: smartie
And therein lies the reason people get separate checks....as you can see the issue of who paid how much this time versus last time can cause bad feelings.
re: smartie
I wouldn't mind but when this group of ladies meet they are usually very vocal when they haven't eaten/drunk much but when it suited them they split the check.
Yep, isn't it interesting how that plays out when the tables are turned?
At a prior job, groups of people from the office would go out together for lunch two or three times a week. I learned to carry a variety of bills and coins so I could hand over my portion and tip prior to the drama over the "you had this and I only had that," preventing the scenario you described. I generally don't "nickel and dime" but sometimes it rubbed me the wrong way because of the personalities involved.
A restaurant in my town does something clever with their lunch checks, the server hands a folder over with the total check and right behind it is another check breaking out the totals per person. When they first started this practice, the servers said something like "and there is an itemized check in the folder and I am happy to seperate your payments by party, just tell me ......." I always thought it was a smart move on their part.
re: Maximilien
How do separate checks work with bottles of wine? Is there another, separate check?
re: LeoLioness
Typically, one generous person will offer to put something that's "shared" on their check, like a bottle of wine or an app.
re: LeoLioness
I've been to places that will split the bottle between multiple checks (but that was with a big drinker group).
Usually, one person will get the booze.
re: Maximilien
Interesting. I guess I'm used to more communal dining with friends in general (hey, want to split that dessert? Let's get a side of ____ for the table) that separate checks would be way more of a hassle. Then again, I've never been the person silently fuming over having to overpay for a salad and glass of water.
In the camp of it not being a breach of etiquette. Of course some restaurants will have a policy of no separate checks for parties of X or more or the like and in that case it would be an issue.
I don't necessarily think its a breach of etiquette but it does create a pain in the hind end for the restaurant. More cards to run (this could be costly, too), more orders to take, etc.... Its just sometimes unavoidable. Particularly if you have a group where someone is just going to order a small salad or app and water and another person who is ordering an app, main and a couple of glasses of wine.
I have seen several restaurants where they limit the number of different checks which I think is fine.
I would categorize separate checks as an "it doesn't hurt to ask" item.
Many restaurants use a computer to place orders and generate checks. It's easy for the computer to keep the orders straight. I've verified this with a couple servers who pretty stated the same thing.
However, separate checks may be a hassle for smaller mom and pop restaurants who still bill out by adding machine or calculator.
Hi... I generally never go to lunch with a large group of _strangers_ ; which is to say, if I am lunching with 6 or 8 or more folks, they are either good friends or work associates or family members. As it is lunch we're discussing (and not pricier dinners), and as no one is really knocking back multiple bottles or cocktails (1or 2 per person at the most during mid-day, often none), a single check can hover anywhere between $150 and $300 for 6 or 8 guests (pre-tax/pre-tip).
I always offer to cover the entire single check.. And inevitably, someone (or two or three) will offer to do the same the next time we're all out together. Like I said, these are friends or family or business acquaintences, who are generally sincere in their offer. And if, the next time, someone else didn't come through as promised, I wouldn't consider myself ill-used. But that has never, ever occurred. Someone always remembers the previous gesture to keep things light and simple, and they cover the entire check exactly as I did. This has been the case, perhaps, 20+ times.
I won't get into issues of age or gender of guests, as I have no desire to be publically wrestled into rubber innertubes and set ablaze... And I am not well-to-do, particularly. I just don't care for the intense focus on numbers-crunching that comes with multiple checks. I like to sit back and feel content after a nice lunch, and not worry about everyone becoming an accountant.
I realize my secondary gain here is avoiding conflict. If others are fine with many checks and modes of payment, that's fine too...
re: silence9
Actually, separate checks eliminates conflict entirely.
re: Karl S
Not so if you wait until the end of the meal to ask for one. Could cause more conflict. Though next time we are out with the couple who leaves a twenty no matter what they order i am tempted to do that. Just to see their reaction.
re: viperlush
But if you read my earlier comments, I am assuming one is making the request at the proper time, of course...
re: Karl S
Yup read it. But you assume everyone else will/did. Just pointing out that asking for seperate checks at anytime can still cause conflict. A lot of times we will get asked by the waitstaff if we want seperate checks at the end of the meal and not just at the beginning.
re: Karl S
Hi... I believe I understand your view... My own view, per the 'conflict', could be illustrated in the following scenario: guest A receives their own separate check, and calls the server over to explain that it was the cup of lobster bisque that they ordered, yet were charged for the bowl. Server then has to explain that the Lobster bisque is the only soup that is not available in 'cup' size, and has to go bring back a copy of the menu. Guest A is certain that they used the term 'cup' when ordering (they probably did). And on and on and on.... And all that matters to me is that guest A enjoyed their bisque; I'm fine covering the extra 3 bucks for the 'bowl that masqueraded as a cup'. Maybe that makes me a chump, but I don't get that knot in my stomach that comes with the above scenario, because guest A never had to know of it at all...
re: silence9
Well, in my experience, that is a much rarer source of conflict than the others avoided through separate checks. Mind you, I've not been at a table with separate checks for years, but they are eminently sensible so long as the server is not unduly burdened.
If you imagine that splitting the check or rotating hostly evenly prevents people from being accountants, think again - the people who calculate will calculate regardless. And they will remember. Separate checks help disperse the accumulation of that kind of energy through complete transparency.
re: Karl S
I find that splitting the checks forces people to account for what they actually consumed. I've been in far too many situations where people have no sense of the full cost of what they ordered and throw down a 20 and expect that it'll cover everything.
But most of my group dining experiences are business. I think a long time group of friends would probably have worked most of that out.
re: 512window
You might be surprised how some spots never change, even in a long time group of friends.
re: silence9
" I like to...not worry about everyone becoming an accountant."
As Karl S points out separate checks eliminates this, as does your method of one person paying the entire tab. It is only when one check is presented and all the diners begin to calculate their share that the everyone becomes an accountant.
Separate checks also eliminates any possibility of any one member of the group feeling like they pay more than their share over time, or paying for a member who might "forget" it is their turn.
I live in a Southern Tourist Town and I go out with the same group of girlfriends once a week for lunch...high end , low end and everywhere between...and only once have our checks been presented together.We dont ask or anything it just happens.
Not a breach of etiquette to ask. Some will offer it and some won't.
What I really wish would happen is for U.S. restaurants to have the computers that break down each person's order on one bill, so each person can see exactly how much their share was. I travel frequently to Canada with my husband and I can't remember a restaurant (even the little coffee shop on the outskirts of Montreal) that didn't produce a bill with our individual orders separated out.
So easy to read, understand and pay.
re: Bill Hunt
Actually, this is new to me. Occured for the 1st time last month--4 of us dining, restaurant declined to do separate checks, but offered to take 4 credit cards for our individual amounts. I thought it was quite civilized. I seldom carry cash, and if I do, never know how much my meal will be, so appreciated the 4-way credit card option, plus we all added generous tips.
re: pine time
We always put in 2 credit cards when we go out with another couple. I did just have an incident at S&W where the server split the bill on the cc's, we both signed our slips - and the entire bill showed up on my cc bill!
Some restaurants do not allow separate checks. Most chains do. The ones that do not, its usually because the credit card transaction fee gets charged on all 12 checks and then suddenly cost the store X times as much as 1 check.
Now if someone is going to ask for separate checks, just have one person say it, it gets annoying when the order is being taken and all 10 people ask for separate checks
If they are asking for separate checks understand: the server has a system and does not know any of you so in all honesty their system involves the exact place where you are setting. Moving complicates things.
Also understand: Different places have different computers and different POS software systems. Some make separate checks very easy, others do not. Your server is also stuck in the position of doing each of your transactions in order so at 2 minutes a check it is going to take them time to process your party.
re: usmc5855
My understanding of credit card fees (merchant fees) is that the bank charges the merchant a set percentage of their gross sales (I think it's about 4%), not a per check fee. So if the bill total is $100.00, the merchant fee is 4% of $100.00, no matter how many credit cards are charged to total the full amount of $100.00.
Is this incorrect?
re: alwayshungrygal
I worked in retail and we were charged for each transaction. So if we did a charge for someone and then they decided to buy something else after it was done, we were instructed to "return" the first merchandise (that voided the transaction and therefore it was not charged for) and then redid the whole thing. At least, that is what was explained to me.
re: alwayshungrygal
We are charged by the transaction as well the merchant fee. I believe it's 10 cents/transaction. I'm in a service business (not food related).
re: alwayshungrygal
There is a percentage fee and swipe fee and the all vary depending on business and the type of card used. So, a bill split multiple ways is more expensive for the restaurant than a single bill. However, its a cost of doing business now for restaurants, I suppose.
not a direct answer to your question, but,
in separate check situations i do NOT necessarily expect the restaurant to time-coordinate the dishes as i do when we are all on the same check.
Both from the server and the diner point of view, this is common, and much more polite to determine it at the beginning of the meal. Now, that being said - it is very common in the US, but not in Europe. Some places in Europe just don't deal with this well. It could add 20-30 minutes to the time it takes to get the bill, actually. I am heading to Ireland with 7 girlfriends - we have already determined that we will just pony up individually, or each take one night's dinner bill.
re: GreenDragon
I have not often asked for separate checks. My recollection is that more than half the time, the server said "no, we can't do that." Usually small parties, 6-8.
re: GreenDragon
So which is it?
Greendragon writes "it is very common in the US, but not in Europe"
See violin's post above "Also, in Europe it is very common to ask for separate checks"
re: FrankJBN
I am not an expert in Europe - having only visited 7 times, not lived there, and only visited UK and Ireland. However, whenever I have asked for separate checks, I've usually been met with a reluctant 'I think we can, hold on, let me ask the manager'. Sometimes, they come back - having split the bill equally among the number present :) Perhaps my evidence is purely anecdotal and unusual, but that's been my experience - they simply don't know how to deal with it, so evidently it doesn't happen often.
re: FrankJBN
Going back and re-reading her post - it is possible she was doing so in a student-rich area, and therefore the local restaurants were well used to such issues?
re: FrankJBN
Europe is a big place with many different cultures, each with their own norms.
re: mpjmph
Fair enough, and true, which is why I mentioned just the UK and Ireland, where I've been. :)
It can be unavoidable and sometimes its necessary. But it does create more work for the server and the restaurant.
Separate checks are not a beach of etiquette if asked for at the beginning of the meal. Separating them at the end of the meal can be problematic as some POS systems require a manager's swipe or password.
My experience has been that a group where people don't know each others dining and/or spending habits is likely to request separate checks.
I have been a bartender for a good part of 30 years.
re: postemotional1
"My experience has been that a group where people don't know each others dining and/or spending habits is likely to request separate checks."
And, sometimes, when they know each other really well...
re: Karl S
And, sometimes, when they know each other really well...
Ha! So true. We have old friends whose company we enjoy but I "know" how they are about money. I learned long ago to mention to the hostess on the sly that we want seperate checks. We always get together at a local place where we are frequent guests and they are happy to accomodate me.
I'm a poor college student, and my friends are poor college students, and if we didn't split the check, we wouldn't be able to go out to eat. If it's someone's birthday, we might all put in an equal amount.
I would never judge someone for asking for a separate check. You don't know what their financial situation is.
re: Stelmaria
I'm with Silence9 on this one - I find the agonizing over every last item at the end if the meal really unpleasant. PLEASE don't pull our your phone/camera/calculator and start enumerating what everyone had, and how to split that appetizer 3 ways.
Once a year I have to dine with my BIL & SIL who are notorious separate checkers. He mentions it to the hostess as we are seated, to the server before menus are handed out, and to the runner or busser if it suits him. He and SIL always order first, their order goes in first, and their food arrives before ours; they dive in like hungry dogs and are halfway through their grub by the time the rest of us are served. If, god forbid, the check comes all together despite their admonishment, he grabs the check and pays with his airline-points credit card, then takes out the calculator and tells everyone (including his wife) down to the penny what they owe for their meal. If mine was $14 and I give him a $20, I will not see my change. He pockets our cash, tips 10% (I always go back and cover the rest) and thinks he got away with something.
I know separate checks are so much easier for the group diners, and a PITA for the servers. And I was amused to see so many women in girl-groups here noting that they always get separate checks without even asking for them. Experience as a server has taught me that a group of men will just throw down a credit card and settle up later. A group of women will, inevitably, feel the need to go through the "you-had-the-salad-and-wine-but-I-just-had-soup-and-some-of-Betty's-calamari" song-and-dance; none of them can calculate 18%. Its much easier to give them separate checks, calculate the big group auto-grat for them, and distribute it across the board.
re: Cheflambo
Wow. I've been lurking on this thread, remaining silent.
But . . .first, I am glad my BILs and sisters are reasonable people.
Second, I often (several times a week) dine with a group of women at work. And several times a month with women outside of work. We are never offered seperate checks and we always take the total, add 20 % (yes, we can do that advanced math) and divide by the number of diners (yes, we can manage that math as well).
re: gaffk
This is fine if everyone had meals of about the same cost. But separate checks make everything easier and less awkward when dining with a mixed group (financially or appetite-wise) so that people not comfortable with an even split don't have to bring attention to themselves by pointing it out.
re: tinnywatty
When I asked how bottles of wine are handled on separate checks, people said that one person usually stepped up to pay for it, which surprised me. Is that your experience as well?
re: tinnywatty
As I said, we dine together often, so we figure it all evens out over time. There is only one co-worker who points out when she eats cheap (and never points out when she eats expensive ;) She just isn't included in the invite as often as the rest.
I guess we all have fairly similar appetites and incomes. And I really only posted because of cheflambo's assertion that women can't calculate a tip ;)
re: Cheflambo
Most of us in my circle have waited tables, so we tip generously.
Unfortunately, your brother-in-law sounds like my brother-in-law. Ugh.
I wonder if it happens more with women because no one wants to be the "fat girl."
re: Stelmaria
BIL once had an extended argument with his 20-something son while we were ordering over whether or not he was willing to pay for son's meal - son wanted The Big Steak and his father said no, its too expensive. I wanted to crawl under the table.
Gaffk and Stelmaria -- you are a server's dream customers.. And Im not denigrating any specific gender here; as Ive already mentioned, I know at least one man who will itemize everything. I dine out with several different groups of women, and mixed couples. and adding 20% and dividing x ways is usually the norm. My spouse is a little more like his brother however - he dislikes doing this, and I can see him "doing the math" depending on what HE had, but he goes along with it to avoid embarassing me (and, on many occasions he has picked up the check for the whole table and never said a peep). I guess my whole point is don't make a big deal out of it.
re: Cheflambo
And your spouse sounds like a keeper.
re: gaffk
Thanks, gaffk; he is. I definitely got the "pick of the litter" on that level.
Now, I never said women can't calculate a tip; but check any waiter-related website and you'll find that women are generally perceived to be less generous with the gratuity than men. And don't get me started on the many "seniors" out there who think that a 10% tip was good enough in 1960, so its good enough today.
re: Cheflambo
I find the complete opposite about tipping. My gf is of the 20% level, my husband 15%. Me, 18% - 20%. Oh, and I use the tip calculator in my phone. :) My mom was a 15% tipper, and being a bookkeeper, the woman could tell you your share, inc. tax and tip in the blink of an eye!
It's annoying. I try and not dine with people who insist on asking for separate checks. These seem to be the same people who enjoy putting waitstaff through the hoops and it just turns out embarrassing for everyone who rolls differently.
Ask for the check and one person is delegated to figure out each person's share with the tip built in.
Simple. Without all the entitlement.
re: latindancer
Actually, upon further thought, it's more prevalent with my friends/colleagues to just throw into the pot the price of the food/drinks we each had. We do it ourselves. We'll round it out and throw in our 20% tip and the group usually ends up with more than we'll need but the total is given to the waitstaff....usually a very generous tip.
re: latindancer
So it's not the reality of separate checks that bothers you "one person is delegated to figure out each person's share", just the idea of having the restaurant staff do it.
As a server for years in college and moonlighting when I had my first office jobs, there were a lot of courtesies about separate check requests that most customers understood. First of course, 10 people requesting separate checks before the order is fine IF the restaurant permits that, but there are some things that customers who have no employment experience in ala carte restaurant work resisted understanding. Separate checks slows down the whole table's order in most cases. If that is not a problem, fine. Next, very definitely separate checks, expecially for ten people, slows down the server. In the kitchen you match orders to one ticket or stub -- doing that with 10 separate tickets adds a substantial amount of time. Some POS systems, even back in the early 80's, were no longer just a cash register, but practically whole accounting systems, and 10 checks would not just be rung with change made. My last employer, when I last waitressed/bartended, was in 1997, and he was charged a few for every card swipe. I never minded making separate checks for people who understood that it adds time to orders, service, and payment, but a LOT of customers were not very nice about. One error was all it took to make an entire table angry, and some of the insults I received for a mis-fire (such as ringing up one woman's wine on another man's check by mistake at dinner rush) were out of bounds. I wish people would all wait on tables at least for a week or so and discover all the ins and outs of that kind of job today -- it's not what a lot of people think it is, and seeing behind-the-scenes might help. Patience for the (sometimes substantial) added time and tasks of separate checks would be VERY much appreciated.

You may not recognize the name Ginetta, buried as it is in a sea of cottage-industry British niche automakers, but British racing fans know it and know it well. The company is best known for its Le Mans Prototype racers, but also makes a line of sportscars that are primarily built for racing as well, and recently acquired Farbio to boot. Now the Leeds-based automaker is preparing to launch a new vehicle.
Tentatively called GXX, the new Ginetta sportscar is tipped to pack a 3.7-liter engine – presumably a six at that size, but Ferrari and Bugatti have made smaller V8 and even V12 engines – with 310 horsepower on tap. Encompassed in a carbon fiber body, the GXX is expected to come in at less than 1,100 kilograms (2,425 pounds), hit 60 mph in about four seconds and top out around 165 mph.
That's all we've got for the time being, save the rather sad looking teaser image above, but we'll be watching to see when Ginetta plans on releasing its latest product in full.

Congressional District # 09
Last Updated: March, 2012
Site Description
The North Shore Avenue Station former MGP site ("North Shore Avenue Station site") is located in in Section 36 of Township 41 North, Range 13 East in Rogers Park Township of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. The site occupies three parcels of land totaling approximately 10.2 acres and is bounded to the north by recently-constructed single family homes, to the west by North Kedzie Avenue, to the south by residential properties, and to the east by North Whipple Street. The North Shore Channel (part of the Chicago River system) is approximately 350 feet west of the western property line. Two of the three parcels are currently owned by The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company ("Peoples Gas"). The Main Parcel, which encompasses approximately 5.4 acres, is currently used as a natural gas regulator station (the "North District Sub-Shop") and as a vehicle maintenance shop and fueling facility for the north district of Chicago. The East Parcel, approximately 3 acres in size, is a vacant lot covered by vegetation and an unused paved entrance to the property. The remaining Pond Parcel, which is currently being developed as residential property, is approximately 1.8 acres in size.
MGPs were industrial facilities that produced gas from coal, oil, and other feedstocks. MGPs started operating in the U.S. in the early 1800s, typically in urban areas where gas was needed for lighting, cooking, and heating. The processes used to produce the gas also produced waste and by-products such as tars, purifier waste, oils, sludges, and acidic waste. Disposal of waste and spills and leaks often resulted in contaminated soil and groundwater. MGPs were often located near waterbodies and sediment contamination is also common.
Peoples Gas built the North Shore Avenue Station and began operating it as a storage facility for manufactured gas in 1926. A 15 million cubic foot tar-sealed gas holder located on the west side of the Site was used for storage of manufactured gas from the time the station began operations. Later, the holder was used to store natural gas and/or a combination of natural and manufactured gas. The gas holder was taken out of service in 1956 for inspection and repairs. The gas holder sealant was changed from tar to oil at this time, and nearly 200,000 gallons of tar were removed from the site. The gas holder and most of the tar tanks associated with it were removed in 1971, but additional underground tar tanks may have been left in place at this time. The main gas storage facility buildings are currently used for the sub-shop operations.
Site Responsibility
The site is being addressed through potentially responsible party (PRP) actions under federal and state oversight.
Threats and Contaminants
Soil, groundwater and sediment at former MGPs are often contaminated. At the North Shore Avenue Station, soil cleanup was conducted in 1997 and 2001 under the Illinois EPA voluntary cleanup program. Soil contained residuals of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and cyanide. Groundwater flow is towards the North Branch of the Chicago River. Chemicals detected in groundwater samples collected at the site include barium, cyanide, and PAHs (naphthalene and fluorene). Deeper groundwater conditions at the site have not been investigated. Currently all properties are connected to municipal water service. Sediment samples collected farther downstream in the Chicago River system contain high levels of PAHs, PCBs, oil and grease, and metals.
Cleanup Progress
In 2005 EPA was approached by Wisconsin Public Service Corp. (WPSC)with a request to investigate and clean up seven former MGP sites in the state of Wisconsin under the Agency's Superfund Alternative Sites (SAS) program. (The SAS Program addresses potential cleanup sites that might otherwise be eligible for listing on the National Priorities List (NPL), but which will instead be investigated and cleaned up by a cooperative potentially responsible party (PRP) without formally listing the site on the NPL.) When WPSC merged with Peoples Energy to form Integrys Energy Group in 2007, Peoples Energy approached EPA with the request to address thirteen former MGP sites in the state of Illinois under the same SAS program. Two former MGP sites are located in Waukegan and eleven are in Chicago. The North Shore Avenue Station site is one of the thirteen Illinois MGP sites.
In 2007 EPA and Integrys entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study at the two Waukegan MGP sites and an AOC for Engineering Evaluations and Cost Analyses (EE/CAs) at the eleven Chicago MGP sites. Since all twenty MGP sites have similar conditions and contaminants, and Integrys the PRP for each, the AOCs allow a streamlined approach to site investigation and remedy development. Some benefits of the agreement include the use of multi-site documents, a mechanism to review the adequacy of past work, and scheduling flexibility to allow progress on the worst problems first. By the end of 2008, all of the multi-site documents had been approved, and site-specific work had begun on several of the sites. On October 31, 2008, EPA and Integrys entered into an AOC which converted the EE/CA AOC for the eleven Chicago former MGP sites to an RI/FS AOC.
To more effectively manage all 11 original Chicago sites, the RI/FS AOC organizes them into 4 sites: the North Shore Avenue Site, the North Branch Site, the South Branch Site. and the Crawford Site. Both the North Branch Site and the South Branch Site have several operable units. The North Branch Site is comprised of the Division Street Station Operable Unit (OU), the North Station OU, and the Willow Street/Hawthorned Avenue Station OU. One site is the the North Shore Avenue Station Site. The South Branch Site is comprised of the 22nd Street Station Upland OU, the Hough Place Station Upland OU, the Pitney Court Station Upland OU, the South Station Upland OU, the Throop Station Upland OU, and the South Branch River OU.
Investigations and Remediation Previously Performed
Soils in the northern portion of the site were removed to address chlorinated solvent impacts from releases on the adjoining property in 1997. Some of the solvent-impacted soils left in place had levels of contamination that exceed the Illinois residential standards, so land use in this portion of the site is restricted. Further site investigations led to the excavation of approximately 26,000 tons of soils impacted with lead and PAHs in 2001 and 2002. The tar-stained soils observed below the groundwater level in soil borings installed along the western border of the site were not removed during this remediation effort, which was completed under the Illinos EPA Site Remediation Program.
Additional investigation of the remaining contamination will take place under the RI/FS which began in the spring 2010.

Quick Pour Fondant Icing
6 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Icing Colors, if desired
About 2 1/2 cups of icing.
Step 1
Cover cupcakes lightly with buttercream icing. Let set 15 minutes.
Step 2
Place sugar in saucepan. Combine water and corn syrup; add to sugar and stir until well-mixed. Cook over low heat. Don't allow temperature of mixture to exceed 100°F. Remove from heat; stir in extract and icing color.
Step 3
Place cooled cupcakes or mini cakes on cooling grid positioned over cookie sheet or pan to catch excess icing. Cupcakes which will be covered completely should be turned bottom side up. Pour icing on center of cupcake using pan or measuring cup. Or, pipe icing from a cut decorating bag. Cover the cupcake completely, or use your coating as a glaze to simply cover tops and drip over the sides. Touch up any bare spots with spatula. Let set.
Step 4
Excess icing may be reheated just to pouring consistency. Don't overheat the icing as it will lose its shiny finish.

Finale of 'Desperate Housewives' brings 11 million viewers to ABC on Sunday
(AP) — For one last time, a crowd turned out to watch the goings-on on Wisteria Lane.
ABC's "Desperate Housewives" drew a little more than 11 million viewers for the two-hour series finale of creator Marc Cherry's prime-time soap. That wasn't enough to land it back in the Nielsen company's list of top 10 shows for the week, where it was a regular in its early years, but it was nearly three million more viewers than usually watched this season.
The primary characters were all seen moving away from the cul-de-sac they called home in that final episode.
With the TV season winding down, "NCIS" held to its standard of the most-watched prime-time program of the week, Nielsen said.
CBS comfortably won the week with an average prime-time viewership of 10 million (6.3 rating, 11 share). ABC had 7.9 million (5.1, 9), Fox had 7.3 million (4.5, 8), NBC had 5.6 million (3.6, 6), the CW had 1.2 million (0.8, 1) and ION Television had 1.1 million (0.7, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with a 3.6 million prime-time average (1.9, 3), Telemundo had 1.1 million (0.6, 1), TeleFutura had 620,000 (0.3, 1), Estrella had 250,000 and Azteca had 110,000 (both 0.1, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.9 million viewers (5.4, 11). ABC's "World News" was second with 7.4 million (4.9, 10) and the "CBS Evening News" had 5.7 million viewers (4, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
