So your web host is retiring: How to back-up and move forward
On Monday, AOL (Weblogs Inc.'s parent company) announced that they are shutting down the AOL Hometown and AOL Journals services. AOL Journals members will be able to migrate to a new service, but AOL Hometown users have been instructed to back-up their files and prepare to go somewhere else.
There have also been reports (but Wikipedia is the source, so keep that in mind) that Yahoo! GeoCties has removed or shut-down some of its UK web servers. With Google killing its Page Creator tool and migrating everyone to Google Sites, the free static web host is a dying breed.
So what can you do if you are an AOL Hometown user (or you use another older service that might be on its last legs)? Read on for tips on backing up your content and publishing options for the future.
Backing up your files
The AOL Hometown announcement page gives some details for backing up your content using the AOL FTP tool, but here are some free software alternatives might better suit your needs, especially if you have a hard time using or locating the AOL tool:
FileZilla - FileZilla works on Linux, Mac and Windows. It is very easy to use and very powerful.
Cyberduck - If you are a Mac user and you want a more Mac-like feel, Cyberduck is free and also very powerful.
FireFTP - FireFTP is a great plugin for Firefox that lets you use FTP right within your browser. It works with Firefox on all platforms.
After you decide on an FTP tool, follow the instructions to connect and download all of your files and images. Download everything that is on that server. It might be a good idea to burn a copy to a CD or DVD for safe-keeping, if the information is important.
Moving Forward
For users who want to move their content to another service, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that today, you can build even more advanced web pages, blogs or photo albums using any number of free services. Aside from free hosted services like Blogger, Live Spaces and WordPress.com that let you create blogs and photo galleries, there are services like Weebly, Wix and Sauropol that let you easily build more "traditional" static web sties. Keep in mind that WordPress also let you create separate "pages" if you want more than just a blog.
The bad news is that there is no easy or automatic way to import your existing HTML content from a service like AOL Hometown or Geocities onto one of these new sites. For image hosting, you can simply re-upload your photos and tag them accordingly. If you have lots of web pages, however, you might want to look at hosting your own content. Take a look at your content, if it is old or in need of a good update, starting over might not be a bad idea. It will certainly be easier than it was before.
Self Hosting
Even though more and more services are becoming web based (e-mail, storage, document collaboration), there is always the chance that the company hosting that content could either fold or decide to discontinue to the service. That's what is happening to AOL Hometown users now. If you want to have full control over your own content, the best option is to pay for web hosting and host the content yourself.
There are dozens of inexpensive webhosts that offer full hosting services for only a few dollars a month. These packages often include a domain name, meaning you don't have to have a URL like http://film-girl.blogspot.com (a blog I have incidentally, never ever used), you can instead have something like christinawarren.com. Hosting yourself also means you can choose to either host the content exactly as it appeared on your old site, or upgrade to the world of dynamic publishing.
Even if you don't want a blog, building a website is much easier and more efficient using a system like WordPress rather than cobbling together the static HTML files. You can more easily update not only the content, but the look of your site, and you can interact with visitors via comments.
By hosting yourself, you could even choose to host your old content the way it appeared before, while creating new content using newer technology.
The caveat with paying for your own hosting is that you are responsible for the upkeep and the maintenance of your page. Most hosts offer tools to help beginners get up and running quickly, but control means control. You deal with the good and the bad. A hosted service, while it offers less options, also means no technical upkeep on the user's part.
Final Thoughts
If you are still using one of the older static hosts of yesteryear, consider backing up and migrating your data now. Self-publishing is bigger than ever, but the old model is dying and the faster you start the transition, the better off you will be.

C/D Overview:
A great conversation piece for the valet stand, the GS450h is pricey, scarce, and not as smooth as the creamy, all-gasoline cruiser it's based on. Fuel-efficiency gains are notable, but this expensive bit of green-chic looks too much like its conventional sibling to win you applause from bystanders.
Base Price: $59,825
Lexus fit and finish, sumptuous throughout, class-leading fuel thrift.
Moribund steering, hybrid-mode shifting is hardly seamless, pricey.
What's New
Introduced for 2007; no changes for 2011.
Behind The Wheel
Perfect for the country-club show-and-tell, the hybrid GS has a few hundred extra pounds that's aimed by lifeless steering: not a great combo for handling. Lexus quiescence is sacrificed somewhat to the hybrid system's endless cycling.

Think of the typical American college experience. Large, old buildings. A green campus. Meals served in a dining hall. And football and basketball games to go to each Saturday.
Now, imagine a dream vacation. Beaches. Beautiful hotels. Restaurants on the water. And boats coming in and out of the bay.
These two scenes don't often overlap, except on the tiny Greek island of Paros, and in the even tinier village of Alyki. That is where students live for a few weeks each summer studying Greek with the College Year in Athens' summer program.
"Learning Greek in Greece is extremely beneficial considering that you're constantly surrounded by the culture and the language," Ariana Arbes, a senior at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia who studied in Paros in July 2011, said. "It allows for an opportunity that you can't get elsewhere."
College Year in Athens, a highly regarded study abroad program that focuses on the history and civilization of Greece and the East Mediterranean region, started off in 1962 with five students and now serves approximately 140 students each semester.
CYA's summer program, though, is structured differently, with two consecutive four-week programs with offerings in Modern Greek, Archeology and History, Service, Anthropology and Religion. Students studying Modern Greek, for instance, spend one week in Athens before moving to Paros, and living at a beautiful hotel for two weeks. There, they are divided into groups based on their level of proficiency in Greek.
Ryan Collins, a graduate student at Hellenic College in Boston who also joined CYA's summer program in 2011, was impressed with the course's teaching methods. CYA's emphasis on real-world exposure to the language is what stood out for Collins.
"I've taken a number of different programs in Greek, and the way that they present the material [here at CYA], the books they use and the professors they have are very good," he said.
"You cannot teach the language without showing the Greek character, the Greek civilization, because all the words have their roots in Greek civilization."
The program works because the CYA faculty truly believes that Greek cannot be taught properly anywhere but Greece.
You cannot teach the language without showing the Greek character, the Greek civilization, because all the words have their roots in Greek civilization," Marinetta Papahimona, who has been with the program since 1979, said. "It sounds a little bit like 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,' but I cannot avoid it because this is the truth."
And the professors make sure the students get plenty of Greek character.
When asked what the best the part about the summer program was, Arianna Arbes said it was the filoxenia.
One night last summer, for example, Alexis Phylactopoulos, president of the College Year in Athens program, had the entire summer class over to his home for dinner. Aside from a stunning view of the Aegean Sea, Prof. Phylactopoulos offered dolmathes, spanakopita and other Greek dishes — and a warm family atmosphere.
When asked what the best the part about the summer program was, Arianna Arbes said it was the filoxenia, which literally translates to love of strangers, but essentially means hospitality.
Papahimona has made it her mission to see that the students are comfortable with each other and get plenty of Greek culture because she says it will help the students speak the language. "We [Greeks] are not afraid to show our character… We see something beautiful, we are going to say, 'This is beautiful.' We see something bad, we are going to express that it's bad," Papahimona said. "This is a little bit strange for [some] Americans… They don't like to express their feelings so much, they like to listen more."
"You cannot speak the Greek language if you don't have the body, the expressions of the face, the expression of the eyes and everything."
And after watching Papahimona's colorful interactions with the students, it is easy to see that she practices what she preaches. For example, she asked students questions in Greek and playfully coaxed them into giving the correct answer before she would allow them to board the bus for the trip from the Narges Hotel to Prof. Phylactopoulos' house. "You cannot speak the Greek language if you don't have the body, the expressions of the face, the expression of the eyes and everything," she said.

"Super quick delivery (days earlier than expected!). Quick and easy design template. I used the pearl paper and am so glad I did. It added a little extra shine to the gold style design. The weight of the paper was perfect for my son's birth announcement!"
"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"
"I should have ordered more! This card turned out really well. I used the plain green/blue back and used a white pen to write personal messages to recipients. I had professional newborn photos done, so this was a good way to showcase them. Other colour options would be great."
"the quality of the card was better I thought it would be. I was seeking an economical announcement without looking cheap...and this turned out very well! I would purchase again."
"This card was beautiful. Everyone loved it! I used it as a thank you/birth announcement for my 2 month old christening and for family/freinds who had given us a gift when he was born. I included pictures on the front of my 2 month old by himself and two pictures on the back with his big brother. I like the square sized card. As well added the shimmer. Looks elegant. Love the card and love working with tiny prints.i included a picture because when I read reviews I enjoy seeing the product the customer actual has in hand."

Dr. Paul C. Moulinie, director of the Center for Complementary Care at Huntington Hospital, knows the positive effect that meditation has on the cardiovascular system, and he shares it gladly with his patients. Besides managing a busy private cardiology practice, he serves as chief of the division of cardiology at Huntington Hospital. He is a strong believer in treating the patient as a whole, not just the disease. The Center for Complementary Care offers strategies in how to manage stress. Here health care professionals assist patients in different stress reduction techniques, including meditation and yoga.
As stress is becoming more and more rampant in our daily lives, so are diseases affected by it. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one. This involves the heart and blood vessels, often caused by atherosclerosis. According to the American Heart Association, (AHA), cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America. Studies show that meditation can be a great preventive tool in CVD risk reduction.
In mainstream America, stress reduction and meditation are often used interchangeably.
According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the word "meditate" means, "To focus one's thoughts on, reflect on, or ponder over." Meditation practice is considered taking time to sit undisturbed in a relaxed manner, allowing the mind to be free from sensory overload, and to be fully present in the moment by focusing on an object, thought or sound.
There are many different meditation practices. Besides stress reduction, they all promise to bring about more energy, greater focus, improved confidence, and more zest for life. As nearly 2,300 Americans die from CVD every day, studies are being done proving the benefits of meditation in the prevention and treatment of CVD risk factors.
Dr. Moulinie said his father was a great influence in his decision to practice cardiology. His experience also led to stress reduction studies.
"He suffered from heart disease for many years," Dr. Moulinie said. "Besides having a stressful lifestyle working long hours, he was also a heavy smoker and had several heart attacks before he died." This was a time before stress reduction techniques were common. Positive lifestyle habits that reduce CVD risk factors include getting enough sleep, eating more fruits and veggies, and incorporating some form of regular exercise routine.
Discussing how to best assist patients in adopting therapeutic life style changes Dr. Moulinie said," When patients present with CVD risk factors, the first line of treatment is trying to understand their lifestyle." Some risk factors that cannot be helped include heredity, gender, and age. Others like high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, and high cholesterol may be related to overeating and stress and can be helped by improving lifestyle habits.
"I like to know what the patients' circumstances are. Assessing people's basic knowledge about nutrition, lifestyle activities, how they react to stress, and how it affects their health is essential," Dr. Moulinie said. "One of my patients developed elevated blood pressure. He held a high power position on Wall Street and endured ongoing stress. When he found ways to reduce the stress level, his blood pressure returned to baseline."
Meditation relaxes the body and mind by deactivating the sympathetic nervous system. The same nervous system is turned on when we are stressed. It increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and release stress hormones. Adrenalin and cortisol are examples of stress hormones that are toxic to the endothelium, the inner lining of the arteries. This contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Reduced heart rate, lower blood pressure and stress level are benefits caused by regular meditation practice.
"We must look for ways to experience the peace and tranquility that is inherent in all of us, and not become victims of the noise and stress all around," Dr. Moulinie said. "The heart and arteries are living things. They understand anxiety and fear and react to life around us."
Dr. Moulinie practices transcendental meditation (TM), so he knows what he is talking about.
A ground-breaking 2009 study, from the American Heart Association (AHA), sponsored with a $3.8 million grant from the National Institute of Health, showed that patients with coronary heart disease who practiced the stress reducing transcendental meditation technique had nearly 50 percent lower rates of heart attack, stroke, and death compared to no meditating controls.
Although meditation should never replace traditional health care, like taking medications or seeing a doctor, adding meditation to improve daily lifestyle has proved to be valuable. But there is another benefit to daily meditation practice, the development of personality and human growth potential.
As Dr. Moulinie said, "The core of meditation is the body-mind connection. It will connect us to the peace and tranquility that exists in the universe. Out of this calmness, free from stress, opportunities will arise, and our human consciousness will guide us to a more fulfilled life."
Not only does meditation promise to improve health and quality of life, it carries the hope of knocking cardiovascular disease off as the number one cause of death among Americans.

Flood of 911 calls about fire overloaded dispatchers
Updated On: Feb 13 2013 03:39:04 PM EST
The volume of calls to 911 on Tuesday from people concerned about a fire at an apartment complex under construction at the St. Johns Town Center overloaded emergency dispatchers and led to unusually long wait times for dozens of callers, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
In a statement, JSO said, "We apologize for any inconvenience, and want to thank the hundreds of callers that responded to this emergency."
Channel 4 safety analyst Ken Jefferson has a long history of handling mass incidents and crises as a former law enforcement officer.
"I've had the opportunity to respond to mass incidents, such as the Berkman Plaza collapse as well as the T2 Laboratory explosion," he said.
Jefferson believes there are some valuable lessons to be learned from Tuesday's fire.
"They need to streamline the process a little bit better," he said. "In a situation like that when they're getting hundreds of calls on the same thing, just mitigate it in the first 10 seconds and move on to the next caller."
IMAGES: Fire at apartment building construction site
Commander Chuck Mulligan, of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, said the challenge in managing a heavy influx of calls is something agencies across the nation, including his department, battle.
"At the immediate onset, you can always overwhelm the system," Mulligan said.
He said the problem is compounded by those who treat the emergency line as an information service, which ties up valuable resources.
"We don't want that person who truly needs us at that scene or somewhere else to be getting a busy signal when they call 911," Mulligan said.
If Tuesday's fire had been more severe, could the JSO emergency communications center have handled it?
Both Jefferson and Mulligan say yes, but Jefferson believes some additional training would be prudent.
"Now they can have a learning experience and turn that learning experience into a training experience so they can improve the process," Jefferson said.
Mulligan also pointed out that most agencies have a Reverse 911 system they use during mass emergencies. It distributes information to the community and is considered a vital tool in law enforcement.
As for the apartment fire, the State Fire Marshal said the cause of the blaze was accidental, but did not release any other details. Damage was estimated to be about $80,000.

"The Runaways" director gives details on the film's feminist message
The Runaways will finally debut at Sundance next week, so we're slowly but surely getting some more details on the film and its writer/director Floria Sigismondi. The Italian-born music video creator (Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People," Christina Aguilera's "Fighter") talked with the L.A. Times about the film and what she hopes to accomplish with telling the story of the first popular all-girl band.
"It's young girls getting swept up into a world they couldn't handle," Sigismondi told the paper. "Feeding on those confusing feelings that develop from moving from girl to woman, I could reach deep into myself to find those things."
Sigismodni said the film focuses mostly on Joan Jett and Cherie Curie, played, of course, by Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning to illustrate, "How different they are, how they were drawn together for this crazy experience. Joan is so focused, she really wanted to have this band. And Cherie wanted the rage of rock 'n' roll, the rebellion."
And what else happens between them? "A make-out scene in a roller rink that takes place about two-thirds of the way through the movie." The L.A. Times writes:
The scene was inspired by a remark Currie made in the rockumentary Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways, made by former band member Victory Tischler-Blue.
"In Edgeplay,'"Cherie mentions that Joan is really good in bed," Sigismondi said. "I thought, 'I have to pry into this a bit. It will cause an explosion in the film. Why not go there?'
We salute you, Floria Sigismondi. But not for the make out alone — the film has an overall feminist theme, following young women from adolsence into adulthood, but with the address pressure of misogyny, drugs and sex in the world of rock and roll.
There's also the fact that Kristen Stewart is portraying a musical icon who happens to also be gay. The Times writes that she does so very convincingly.
In the film, Stewart convincingly channels something of Jett's androgynous, take-no-guff demeanor and rock star swagger.
"She has completely embodied the character of Joan," Sigismondi said. "Her body language, her face, her walk. It's amazing how she has just become her."
Production designer Eugenio Caballero was even more blunt. "Kristen is Joan," he said in between scenes. "You talk with her and you think it's Joan Jett."
The Runaways will open in 1400 theaters nationwide in mid-March. Do you think the kissing scene between Joan and Cherie will take away from the message of the film in the mainstream media?

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Consumers dealing with debt might not necessarily think that looking for a new credit card is a good idea, but there are times when switching to a new piece of plastic is quite literally in their best interest.
Balance transfer credit cards allow consumers to move high interest debt they carry on existing credit cards to a new one that charges little to no interest, at least for an introductory period.
Since the aim is to pay down the debt at a lesser charge (and also potentially boost your credit score), the selection criteria differ drastically than those for a traditional credit card search.
For starters,n rewards programs shouldn't be a factor since they'll only entice you to spend more and hinder your ability to pay down the balance while the annual percentage rate (APR) is low, says Beverly Harzog, an expert with Credit.com.
Instead, consumers need to look for cards that have the longest introductory period, typically anywhere from 15 months to two years, at the lowest possible APR on balances or even purchases, since the best balance transfer cards often offer a low introductory rate on both.
"I wouldn't even settle for anything over 0%," Curtis Arnold, founder of CardRatings.com, says. He explains balance transfer cards not only survived the post-recession credit crunch, "they've come back with a vengeance," as issuers are increasingly offering competitive rates in an effort to widen their consumer base.
Because many of these deals are meant to hook consumers in, Harzog says it's important to look at the APR spread presented as your "go-to rate." This is what the APR will wind up being once the introductory period elapses.
It's also what the APR could wind up being should you miss one payment, cautions Kenneth Lin, CEO of Credit Karma. So you need to check the terms of conditions to find out if that should be a concern.
You also need to be on the lookout for high balance transfer fees, which are typically between 3% and 5% of the debt you are moving over.
"There may be one or two cards out there that have no balance transfer fee," Lin says, but those cards typically carry a higher introductory APR.
MainStreet rounds up some of the best options for consumers looking for a great balance transfer deal.

text: Madison and Keiffer Hubbell, the U.S. brother/sister team coached by Krylova and Camerlengo are next to take the ice, skating to Ukrainian folk music in very Ukrainian outfits. Excellent deep edges and speed. First twizzle had perfect unison, timing was a bit off on the second one for him. What the twizzles did have going for them were that there were VERY close together. Cute lift with a clap on the exit. They are skating with a lot of energy and carrying good speed. Timing to the music just great on a circular step sequence. Very spunky, energetic skaters though compared to Hann-McCurdy/Coreno who also did very much a folk dance this didn't have the same degree of intricacy although the speed and edges were right up there IMO. They are both very natural PERFORMERS musically. I really like this team although I have to admit I am still very much surprised by Ralph/Hill's scores... I expected them to really make a move with such a good dance. 46.75, new SB, 76.51, 3rd place behind W/P and H-M/C.

As the pilot approached the base leg of the traffic pattern for landing, he turned off the ignition, and shut down the engine. His intention was to perform a "dead-stick" landing, and glide the airplane to touchdown. When he realized that the runway could not be reached, and that trees on the approach end of the runway could not be cleared, he restarted the engine. When the engine restarted, he added power, and the pusher-prop configuration of the airplane resulted in a sudden nose-down pitch as thrust was added. The airplane then "nosed-over" into the trees and the ground.

November 28, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A new report once again says students in Nevada have a lower chance of success than their counterparts in any other state.
The magazine Education Week on Thursday released its annual Quality Counts report, which compares states by factors including student performance and school financing. It combines those with demographic data such as parent education level, income and language abilities.
Nevada earned a D grade and ended up last on the list, behind Mississippi and New Mexico. The state has been in 51st place on the ranking since 2010.
State superintendent Dale Erquiaga called the measurement "a little unfair" because the ranking is based largely on factors outside the school system's control.
He says the report is a call for the entire community to act, not just the school system.

- Huge disappointmentDcDinerDined on 11/19/2014Been several times for nice dinners, and used to be very good. Restaurant seemed surprised that people showed up, and 5 tables worth of people waited 15 min to be seated because no one was in the front of the house. Ordering took 15 minutes, bread never came. Entree was good, but substituted side request was ignored, and delivered only after we had finished eating. Had taken a friend for a birthday lunch. Not sure if this was a bad day, but left an awful impression.
- Expensive disappointmentLuv2dineoutDined on 11/14/2014We were very excited that a Mc&S was right across from our hotel because we have dined at this chain in other cities and loved it. We were very disappointed with our experience at this location. The empty restaurant on a Friday night should have warned me off. $30 for 4 scallops served cold. Because our server had not checked on us once during our meal, I had finished my salmon dinner completely before we could communicate that my husband's scallops were cold and inedible. Our server did give us new scallops, but there was no apology or price concession. The vegetables that accompanied my salmon tasted like they were heated in the microwave. This visit has made me doubt the quality control at the chain overall, and we will hesitate to return to another.
- ColdOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 11/14/2014Scampi was good but linguine it arrived on was cold. The roasted vegetable side dish arrived luke warm so we sent it back. Service was excellent. Hostess was very attentive and gracious.
- Excellent Service and Delicious Food!ExcellentDined on 11/12/2014Keep up the good work! Very well handled and everyone enjoyed their lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steep price for average steakKevinDined on 11/11/2014For the prices, I expected an awesome steak. It was OK, but the ribeye at American Tap Room was half the price as M&S, and tasted four times better. Lobster seemed overdone and kinda small.Special Features:
- Great staff!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/9/2014T the manager and R the server are First Rate! It was a great pleasure to dine at M&S. I DO NOT LIKE the loyalty card promotion from the server and manager. It diminished the wonderful service that they provided.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food... ExpensiveUSMarineDined on 11/9/2014The food and service was awesome. The server did offer food that quickly upped the bill more than I expected. Salads were $8 and the lobster bisque was $13. Don't get me wrong, it had real lobster meat and was excellent, just did not expect our appetizers to add up to $42. This is definitely a place to go for a special occasion (like the free entrée on Veterans' Day).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food.....but not with drinksWorldTravelersDined on 11/9/2014Let me start by saying that I've been here once...so just a review of that single dining experience. Food was Superb! One of the better dinners I've had at a non-boutique restaurant - BUT.......I would have liked to enjoy it with the drinks I ordered to accompany the meal and desert. On the meal side, we ordered a bottle of wine to go with dinner, the meal was served, THEN we were informed that they were out of the wine requested. It was another 15 minutes before our re-order of drinks arrived - leaving us with eating dinner with water or eating it cold. Similar story for desert....desert arrived 5 minutes before the after-dinner drinks we ordered simultaneously arrived. Bottom Line - Great Food, Great Drinks - time management - NOSpecial Features:
- Veteran's Day mealtiarayDined on 11/9/2014The fettuccine alfredo was supposed to have a white sauce but looked more red and it was dry. The server should have visited the table more as he passed several times. Had to wait to long for a dessert menu and check.Special Features:
- ExcellentArbieDined on 11/9/2014My dining experience was excellent. The customer service was superb by all, i.e. from the managers to the waitstaff. Each person made us feel welcomed and asked if there was anything they could assist us with and also asked if we were ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/9/2014The food and Apple martini's are great here. I well be going back there again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Veterans DayFinedinerDined on 11/9/2014Once again the restaurant has done a great job of generously recognizing veterans through its special veteran's meals on the Sunday before Veterans Day. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. This was the second time that I have driven 90 miles from my home to have lunch at the restaurant on this special day. Having worked in DC for many years and eaten there on a number of occasions, they continue to offer the best food in the area. Thanks for honoring our veterans. Bravo Zulu.Special Features:
- TCMBDined on 11/9/2014Nice views from all the tables, seated promptly, wait staff engaging and friendly. The food was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Veterans Thank Youluv2smileDined on 11/9/2014A fellow veteran and myself decided to take advantage of the free Veterans day meal. The staff greeted us with warm welcomes and gratitude for our service. Our waiter, and I apologize for forgetting his name, was also a Veteran. He treated us very nicely, made some awesome suggestions when it came to appetizers and desserts and talked a little about his military experience. My friend and I are Navy Hospital Corpsman and our waiter was in the Marines. For those of you that don't know, Corpsman take care of Marines. We are considered their 'Docs.' It was nice to see the two militaries still working together. Thank you for a great Veterans Day!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terriblemslanee1VIPDined on 11/8/2014I had the worst dining experience than I have had in a long time. I had a 7:15 reservation and I was not seated until 7:45. Food did no arrive at the table until 8:45. We waited at our table for at least 15 minutes before someone came to greet us and take our order. The restaurant was not even busy, as there were plenty of open tables. My date and I saw two tables get up and walk out without ordering because they had been waiting so long for food or to even to be greeted. Once our food arrived, my dates food was lukewarm. When we mentioned this so the waiter he acted like he did not know what to do, however eventually he offered to bring more. The new asparagus was still cold. Something really needs to be done about the management, the servers, and the kitchen. McCormick used to be a very nice night out. Had I not expected even worse service for the manager I would have complained immediately, but after seeing another table complain and it go nowhere, I decided to keep my mouth shut for the moment. I will be writing a strongly worded e-mail.
- SlowDontBotherDined on 11/8/2014Made reservations for 4- I had to remind them 3 times that we were ready to be seated!!! Had to ask them to take our order!! food was cold!
- CapsFanVIPDined on 11/8/2014It was definitely an off night for this restaurant. We were seated at 6:30 for our reservation, and I ordered a drink around 6:40...which didn't get delivered until around 7:35. I asked the waitress where it was around 7:00 and she said the bar was just really busy with Happy Hour. We ordered our food around 7:00, and it arrived around 7:35 as well. It was plated with sides that were not what the menu said it came with. We were not the only patrons experiencing this delay with service, either. My friend and I were getting nervous, because we had Caps tickets and the game started at 8pm. We asked for the check as soon as the food arrived, and we had to eat so quickly that we couldn't really enjoy it. And forget about dessert, which was too bad because I had been looking forward to trying the cinnamon ice cream.
- Be careful on game nightrmortellDined on 11/8/2014Had a good time but the seating was very limited due possibly to lack of waitstaff. I am not sure but there was a entire section of the restaurant with only a couple people eating while the part we were in was packed. The servers seemed overwhelmed but they were nice and we got our food. I'd go back but perhaps try to do it on a night when the caps weren't playing.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/6/2014Our server was amazing! The food was delicious! I will definitely be recommending this place to friends.
- Found paper in my friends foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/5/2014Also the fish (and chip) tasted like Gordon's heat-up. 3 of the 4 meals were just OK. We felt nicked and dimed by any mild changes requested. $1 for lemonade refill -really?
- poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/4/2014our waiter ended up helping out on a larger party. twice we had to have another waiter let our waiter know we needed something. the rest of the restaurant wasn't even that busy.
- spatzdoVIPDined on 11/4/2014Not sure if it was just an off night but the service was not up to par. I asked twice for lemon for my water and the waitress never brought it. I waited 20 min for my drink from the bar. Our waitress said the bar was crowed. I have been to this restaurant in the past and have always had excellent food and service so this may have been a bad night. Will try some other places in Penn Quarter before I return.
- Not this locationDinerVIPDined on 11/2/2014We have dined numerous times at McCormicks and Schmicks at various locations. This location is not run well. Our experience at other MC&S has been great, not this time. Our drinks took forever and the restaurant was not busy. There were only three people at the bar. My husbamd actually went to speak to the bartender to see if the drinks were coming. The andouille sausage was disguised hot dogs, the fried shrimp were tiny, unlike at the other locations. We had made these reservations considerably in advance and were seated at the kitchen service restaurant where it was extremely noisy. We would not go to this location again for dinner.
- GeneVIPDined on 11/1/2014This is a downtown restaurant catering to late evening and after game diners. We were place in a side room and waited for over 25 minutes before I complained to the hostess that we had not even been given water. Soon the manager showed up, apologized, took our order, and someone else became overly solicitous for the rest of the evening. Very uncomfortable. No one really cared. I won't go back. Gene
- Bad service!cosmastroVIPDined on 10/31/2014I've always had good things to say about McCormick & Schmicks before this experience! Our table wasn't ready at the reservation time which would not have been a big deal except that the host seemed to forget about us. Then we finally got seated and the server came by said she would bring us water and menus. When we waited for more than 15 minutes and she never came back, we decided to leave. We had concert tickets nearby and didn't want to be late. So we opted for pizza and beer across the street where the service was great and we made it to the show!!!!!!
- Office LunchBrighteyes1311Dined on 10/28/2014This restaurant is often chosen for our office lunches. While the service this time was a little subpar, the food never disappoints. The restaurant was fairly empty and yet, the service was rather slow and the waiter was not very attentive. All of the seafood dishes are excellently prepared. The chef even offered to prepare a separate dish of greens without meat for the vegetarian diner. All in all, it was a pleasant dining experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/27/2014I have visited McCormick & Schmick's in Chicago and Minneapolis and have never been disappointed. The Washington DC location was a disappointment. I was entertaining customers with a party of 7. From the steak to the seafood dishes, all in our party were not satisfied with their meals. Although service was adequate, we did not receive "great" service that I feel an establishment such as this would deliver.
- BlandjustvisitingDined on 10/25/2014The food was not seasoned at all. Not the fish, nor the steak, nor the vegetables. Just bland.
- Not what I have come to expect @M&SOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/24/2014First tried to seat us at a table for 4 right next to the bus station when there were 20 empty tables. Then when the entrees came both ladies had ordered the flounder. One was golden brown, very nice. The other was black. When questioned the server said "I guess they just overcooked the cheese." My wife almost had to demand that he take it back. Another was prepared correctly and was very good. No offer of a glass of wine while she waited or anything. The check came and no adjustment was made or comp of a previous glass of wine. I have been to M&S in Reston and Tysons and other locations and have never had such inattention to the guest.Special Features:
- Slow service and cold foodColdfoodVIPDined on 10/24/2014We have eaten at this chain many times but this was the first time in DC. The service was extremely slow. We finally had to ask the hostess if we had a server. When the entrees arrived it was as though they had been sitting out and the food was cold. It was not worth the cost for cold mediocre food.
- Good food, meh serviceBuddyDined on 10/18/2014Service was horrible... It took two waiters, a manager and over 45 minutes to get drinks or an order taken. We almost walked out, but last minute a wonderful waiter began serving us and all went smoothly after that... About 1 hour 15 minutes into our visit. Food was delicious, though, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/18/2014Service, and food were excellent. Enjoyed our dinner completely.Special Features:
- need for improvementnaenaeVIPDined on 10/17/2014I love McCormick and Schmick's however; this one of the worest visit I have encountered. The only bright spot of this visit was the waitress in training: Ms. Amber. Amber was assiting her veteran employee; Mr. Shawn. Amber was more professional and attentive to our needs than the older employeee. Service was bad even though it was lunch time around 12:45pm there may have been only 9 tables being served; the restaurant was not crowded. Our order was taken and we received our salads and appetizers, however; it was approx. 15 min before we received our meal after the appetizers/salad. The waiting staff only checked on us once after our meal was served and our water glasses were not refilled until we were leaving when we asked for the bill.Special Features:
- Service should have been better4foodandwineDined on 10/11/2014It took 15 minutes to get a coffee latte, 30 minutes to get a glass of chardonnay, and even longer to realize that they didn't have all the ingredients to make 2 "hot apple pie" drinks that were prominently displayed on the drink menu. We sat there so long with nothing before us that four other servers asked if we had been waited on. Our waiter, apparently preoccupied elsewhere, and out of sight most of the time. He did not check to see if food had been delivered satisfactorily and even asked if we wanted to order appetizers after we had finished the ones previously ordered. We have taken friends to this restaurant a number of times before and the food and service has always been very good, but this time it was not a good experience.Special Features:
- Extremely DisappointingTNFoodieDined on 10/4/2014I have eaten at McCormick & Schmick's all over the country and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had. Our server was inattentive, she completely forgot my chowder, and it took forever for her to check on our table. It took over an hour for our food to come to the table, I ordered the Shrimp Trilogy and it was lukewarm. I would have sent it back, but after taking an hour to come to the table, I was too hungry to wait. I see now why this place was half empty on a Saturday night, totally ruined our first night in D.C.
- No thank you!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/29/2014I am very familiar with the restaurant and menu but I was a first time visitor for the F Street location. I must say the service and energy from the servers were great. My food wasn't close to the best of what I have had, which is something I order the most stuffed Salmon w/ spinach instead of mixed veggies and mash potatoes. If it wasn't for the fact of one being my mother's birthday and two coming from a long day at work and being completely hungry I would have sent my food back and complained to the chief. My salmon tasted as something that I've ever had before and it left a very nasty taste in my mouth. I actually no longer plan to revisit the Fst location again, and probably will continue visiting Kst or the National Harbor locations.Special Features:
- Unknown12345Dined on 9/27/2014Took 15 minutes to just get water once we first sat down.
- Good like always but...borga76VIPDined on 9/27/2014The service was slowly comparing the other times, even if the restaurant was not full and it was sunday lunch. I hope it was onle a day problem and for the future it will be better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Weekend Dinner with FamilyDDSnDCVIPDined on 9/20/2014The only reason that I gave an overall rating of very good is because my guests enjoyed their food and time in DC having dinner with me. I always seem to have bad luck at McCormick & Schmick's in the DC area. Our server seemed a bit lost when asked about certain menu items if not lost all together as we sat most of the night without a visit from our server (but she was there fast to bring the bill and retrieve our payment). If she would have come back more often to check on us, then I can guarantee we would have ordered another bottle of wine or two. The kitchen mgr. and bar mgr. need to have better communication with waitstaff to inform them of what food/wine items are available, etc. Then, the dessert took half an hour to come out.Special Features:
- DisappointingCaribbeanfoodieDined on 9/20/2014My shrimp scampi was over done, had too much lemon and no garlic. My friend's burger was medium although he requested well done and they were not able to accommodate a new burger in the time frame we had. The blood Mary's had no lemon/olives/celery.

There could be a shortage of wreaths to lie at Arlington National Cemetery this holiday season.
Every December, volunteers place holiday wreaths at tens of thousands of gravesites there. But this year, the Wreaths Across America organization says donations are down, and they may fall short of their goal by about 35,000 wreaths.
The group plans to lay wreaths this Saturday, Dec. 14, but they still need $500,000 to meet their goal.
"That tells me that people never forget these people and appreciate what they've done... and how they've served," Doug Sanford said during a visit to the cemetery. "And that's just... I guess... you might say... a token of their appreciation."
The organization's president hopes there will be a late rush of donations. Last year, they covered about one-third of the graves at Arlington.

Pottawattamie County officials have seized 19 dogs from what one official is calling a "puppy mill."
Animal Control Director Corbin Ranslem says the dogs were seized on Wednesday at a Neola home. The dogs had been living in wire kennels inside a stinky garage at the home. Ranslem says the smell from the feces and urine was horrible.
County Supervisor Loren Knauss says the dogs are believed to be owned by an unidentified Kansas man. The man has 10 days to appear before a judge to prove the dogs are his and that he deserves to get them back. Knauss says that otherwise the dogs will be put up for adoption.
Knauss says he wants to "make sure this puppy mill owner doesn't get these dogs back."

Why do I have to present my insurance card every time I go into the hospital?
CRH needs your card because the insurance companies will request a copy of the card or verification of the numbers on the card. To make sure your information is up to date, we also attach a copy of your insurance card to each claim we process for you.
Why do I have to sign forms each time I come in?
The forms you sign give us permission to perform the test ordered by your Doctor. We need your signature in order to make a claim with your insurance company. If there is a co-pay or deductible, your signature confirms that you will be making arrangements for that payment.
Can you tell me how much my procedure is going to cost?
All procedures vary in cost depending on time spent in OR, anesthesia time, supplies, complications, etc. We can give an approximate cost based on the average cost of a particular procedure; however, we cannot guarantee the amount.
I was told to take my tests or x-rays back to the Doctor's Office, and I'm not sure how to do that.
If you simply let the person in our x-ray department know, then you will get your x-rays to take back to your Doctor.

According to published reports 2 Chainz was robbed and shot at but the rapper has refuted the claims, and police are backing him up.
Radio.com reports; "He was not the victim of a robbery. He was there, but he wasn't the victim," according to a
Many reports and law officials claimed that 2 Chainz was robbed and a couple shots rang out.
2 Chainz responded on Twitter. saying
"Rule #1 if a rapper gets robbed people usually post items that has been taken. Rings, chains, watch, money etc. 2 answer that question. Rule#2 if a rapper gets shot he usually go to hospital or dies. Rule# 3 we definitely got geeked up in San Fran, best smoke in the world. 2 blessed 2 stress. I reportedly killed summer jam tho! #bayarea."
Reports say somebody else in his entourage was the victim of the robbery.
Other details, courtesy of Radio.com include:
"According to police, the rapper was walking with his entourage in the 800 block of Howard Street at about 4:30 p.m. when they were approached by a suspect carrying a handgun, who fired a gunshot. While most of the group scattered, one member of the entourage reportedly fell to the ground and was approached by the suspect, "who robbed him of an unknown item and fled the scene."

Once you've had your baby you may want advice on parenting with less tension and more ease, about the importance of good nutrition and exercise in the 11 months after you give birth, and about the need for intentional self-care as you grow into motherhood. With all that is going on, from feeding and caring for your baby, to learning how to function with less sleep, you will need some strategies to help you work with your baby's natural rhythms, read her cues, and strengthen your self-confidence as a new mom.
That's where the 7 Baby B's come in. These practices have been proven to help thousands of parents lay the foundation for a lifetime of relational parenting. Essentially, each of the following practices is a lifestyle choice that reflects a loving parenting style we call Attachment Parenting. You'll learn all about these Baby B's from Breastfeeding to Babywearing and everything in between.
It is important to continue to take good care of yourself as you cope with the stress of caring for a newborn. It takes six weeks or more for your body to recover from pregnancy and childbirth. If you are breastfeeding (and we hope you are), you continue to share your body with your baby, and you still have to be careful about what you put in it. Your baby's nighttime needs may prevent you from getting enough sleep, and during the day it will be hard to find time for yourself. You probably also have extra pounds to lose, and you may be frustrated with the progress of your postpartum weight loss. If you continue to eat well, exercise, make healthy lifestyle choices, and monitor your attitude, you will be able to deal with all of these challenges and be a happier and more energetic mother.
You may wonder, though, when life will get back to normal. If by "normal," you mean "the way things were before"—well, you will discover after your baby is born that things will never be that kind of "normal" again. As you settle into your new and fulfilling life, practicing Dr. Sears' L.E.A.N.Expectations can help.
The life-changing experience of having a baby is an ideal time to change your life for the better.

Fact: Kim Shattuck is one of the coolest chicks in rock 'n' roll. After cutting her teeth as the bass player in the all female LA band The Pandoras in the '80s, she switched over to guitar and formed the bold-angsty-sarcastic-funny-witty-angry pop punk band The Muffs in 1991. Shattuck's catchy pop tunes might even be described as "cute," if it weren't for her famous bone-shaking roar that could ignite a match from 10 feet away.
Perhaps we misjudged you. When we introduced the first Exposed article last month, we were blown away by the overwhelming support and interest in these fine ladies and their guitar prowess. So here we are again, presenting 10 more artists who share a passion for guitar. They are from different eras, genres, and philosophies, but all know their way around a guitar –- be it acoustic, electric, or classical.
Since her first album was released on Kill Rock Stars in 2007, New York-based guitar player Marnie Stern has garnered loads of attention for her playing style, consisting mostly of finger tapping.
On August 3, New York power pop kings Fountains of Wayne played New York City's Bowery Ballroom in support of their new album, Sky Full Of Holes (Yep Roc).
Many of you may be under the impression that there aren't a lot of female guitarists worthy of a mention on GuitarWorld.com. That is where you are DEAD WRONG! In fact, we have come across so many kickass players, across every genre and era, that we thought we'd give you a tasty tidbit of a few that stand out from the pack.

BUFFALO, the second largest city in New York State and the seat of Erie Country. Erie County had a Jewish population in 2004 of between 15,000 and 18,000. In heavy industry, the principal support of Buffalo's economy, Jews have occupied relatively minor roles. They are chiefly involved in trade distribution and professional services. In 2004 a major hi-tech bioinformatics and health sciences campus was built in Buffalo, attracting Jewish scientists and researchers in growing numbers.
Most Buffalo Jews are descendants of the Eastern Europeans who came after 1880. These newcomers worked as peddlers, tailors, junkmen, and storekeepers, and with the immigration, the main location of the Jewish residential population shifted from lower Main Street to the East Side. A community house, a Jewish library, and about twelve Orthodox synagogues were set up in the area.
While the synagogues were unable to bring unity into the ghetto, the lodges and charitable organizations were a unifying force. A ḥevra kaddisha appeared early in the life of Buffalo Jewry. Montefiore Lodge of B'nai B'rith dates from 1866 and was the first of many groups which provided social companionship and mutual aid. In the 1850s the Buffalo Young Men's Hebrew Association, one of the first in the U.S., aided Jews traveling through the city and also offered cultural programs. Other institutions that were set up included an orphans' home, operated in conjunction with Rochester Jewry, a sheltering house, and Zion House, established by Beth Zion's Sisterhood to care for the newly arrived Russian Jews. Zion House was popularly known as the Jewish Community Building and formed the nucleus for the Federated Jewish Charities of Buffalo, which was established in 1903. The Federated Jewish Charities incorporated several rival societies and became the direct ancestor of the present United Jewish Federation. While Buffalo Jews early established afternoon and Sunday Hebrew schools, it was not until the late 1920s that a bureau of Jewish education was established which in 1928 established The High School of Jewish Studies, which today has over 200 students. In 1959 the Kadimah School created an elementary and middle school. The weekly Buffalo Jewish Review has been published since 1917.
Following World War I the Jewish East Side began to deteriorate. Greater Jewish affluence and the increased speed of urban transportation resulted in a general exodus, first to the West Side of the city, then to the Humboldt-Utica-Ferry section of mid-Buffalo, and still later to the North Park-Hertel Avenue part of North Buffalo. The Humboldt area was served by Temple Beth David, established in 1923, and Congregation Ohel Jacob, established in 1926. In North Buffalo, Anshe Zedek, later named Ner Israel, eventually merged with Beth David which had also resettled in the northern part of the city. Temple Emanu-El, Conservative, was founded in the mid-1920s. In 1967, Emanu-El and Beth David joined as Shaarey Zedek. Then many of the former East Side congregations were now situated in the North Park area. As industries expanded in western New York, bringing general prosperity, Jews moved to Kenmore, the town of Tonawanda, Snyder, and other suburban settlements. Beth Zion (Reform), Beth Am (Reform), Sinai (Reconstructionist), Beth El (Conservative), Havurah (Reform), B'nai Shalom (Traditional), Amherst Synagogue (Orthodox), Kehillat Ohr Zion (Orthodox), Shaarey Zedek (Conservative), and Young Israel (Orthodox) are among the congregations in the suburbs.
While Beth Zion decided to rebuild its main sanctuary in the central city after it was destroyed by fire in 1961, the congregation also has a suburban branch. The population shift has continued from North Buffalo to the suburbs. In 2004 the Jewish population was higher in the suburbs than in the city.
