Acworth, Georgia...
I made the dress from from Vogue 8679 view C. I had bought three and a half yards of this black and white polkadot in a rayon/poly blend. I had to do a full bust adjustment that ended up adding a side dart, which is fine. Gives it more shape. I had already made a blouse and decided that I NEEDED the dress too. I sent off to have a matching bow belt made which I think will be just adorable for the summer. I also made a Karen Cardigan from the smallest of the Plus Size. Its really a wearable muslin as its much much too big for me. I tried shrinking it in the dryer as its a wool knit and it helped a little, but not a lot. Still, I like it styled with the white belt on this dress. I think its kind of fun and funky.
So the best part about the dress is that it can be accessorized for work or for a night on the town.

The Foul Things
Jake Bible
Carlos hated pickles. Dill, sweet- he couldn't stand the foul things.
So, to be trapped in a convenience store with pickle juice dripping off the shelf onto his head, while being shot at, was the ultimate insult.
"Come on, Carlos! We don't have all day! Give us the food and we'll just go our separate ways!"
Carlos hated that voice as much as he hated pickles.
"Bite me, Lyle!" Carlos yelled. He refused to tell the man that there was no food left, just disgusting pickles. The principle of post-apocalyptic scavenging had to be upheld. "Go raid somewhere else!"

Major Break
Jake Bible
The microphone was kicked from the stage as the pop star moved forward, her face passive, serene.
The crowd screamed, their eyes wide with horror and disbelief as their idol turned on them, came at them.
Another shot rang out and another. The blood spray covered the first two rows of spectators as security guards collapsed, and the screams intensified, doubled, tripled. More shots. Again and again. More blood.
The pop star jumped off the stage and rolled, taking aim at the crowd once again. She emptied the magazine, so glad to finally give in to the madness. So glad.

Pitiful Creature
Jake Bible
"The interesting thing is how the creature reacts to various stimuli," Dr. Roberts said. "Observe."
The doctor threw a lit bag of feces into the cage.
"Dude!" the creature shouted. "What the hell, man? Is that poo? Why the hell are you throwing flaming poo at me?"
"It has become irritated," Dr. Roberts observed. "It uses it's primitive language to express that irritation."
"Irritation? Dude, I'm pissed! That's gross!" the creature exclaimed.
"Now, let's see how it reacts when we expose it to raw uranium," Dr. Roberts said.
"What? DUDE! NO URANIUM!"
"Pitiful," one of the observers said. "So pitiful."

The Darkness Thirsts
Jake Bible
"Who dares summon me?" the Devil asked as he appeared in a puff of smoke in the center of the abandoned church.
"It is I, Master!" the man in the robes replied. "Your humble servant and-."
"Sweet. Get me a latte from Starbucks, servant. Whole milk, two shots of vanilla. No cinnamon or nutmeg. NO CINNAMON OR NUTMEG!"
"Uh…uh…yes, Master."
"God, I love Halloween," the Devil sighed as the robed man hurried from the church and out to his Prius. "Free lattes rock."
Disclaimer: If the Devil asks you to get him a latte, don't get the two shots of vanilla. The guy is diabetic and in denial. Don't be an enabler.
Friday Night Drabble Party!
Another Friday is upon us! LET THERE BE DRABBLE!
Sooooooo, how's your week been? Mmm-hmm… Right… Really? With Kevin? You don't say… Oh, now that's just lazy.
Anyhoo, my week has been good. I've been writing the hell out of Reign of Four: III. That medieval space fiction is some fun stuff! Y'all are gonna dig it when it comes out next year!
Know what else you're gonna dig? A drabble!
Let's get to it!
Exclamation points!
Not In A Row
Jake Bible
"I just sign?" Victor asked.
"On the dotted line, baby," Mr. Hob grinned. "Then you get to live a million days."
"No tricks, right?" Victor frowned.
Mr. Hob snapped his fingers. "Nope."
Victor hesitated then pierced his fingertip and signed.
"There," Victor smiled. "Done!"
He stood there for a second then grabbed his chest and collapsed.
"What…?" Victor gasped.
"Right," Mr. Hob smiled. "I never said the days would be in a row. Hopefully you wake up before they bury you."
Mr. Hob walked off, a skip in his step, a whistle on his lips, another soul in his pocket.

Up to 100 Cumbrian firefighters set to strike this week
Last updated at 13:56, Monday, 09 June 2014
Up to 100 of Cumbria's 600 firefighters are poised to take part in a 24-hour walkout.
But fire chiefs in the county insist they WILL be able to cope with any emergencies.
The first round of action from 9am on Thursday will see firefighters carry out the first 24-hour walkout since the strikes began.
A second strike will be held from 10am until 5pm on Saturday.
It has come about after a row between the Fire Brigades' Union (FBU) and the Government over pensions intensified.
Ministers want to raise firefighters' retirement age from 55 to 60 and increase their pension contributions but union leaders say this is "unworkable".
Dave Burn, chairman of the Cumbria branch of the FBU, said: "Enough is enough now – the Government is refusing to talk to us and we have been backed into a corner.
"It's frustrating and disappointing and none of us want to take this action but this is the culmination of three years of negotiation.
"Any decision to strike is difficult and the fact that it is a 24-hour walkout is largely irrelevant.
"Our objective is simply to get [fire minister] Brandon Lewis to come back to the table and talk to us but he is refusing to do that."
Ninety four of the county's 600 operational firefighters were involved in the first day of the last round of strikes last month.
The second day saw 96 take part and 97 walked out on the third day.
Mr Burns said he expected all the FBU members from Cumbria who took part last time to walkout this time round.
However, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service says it is prepared for the action and has contingency plans to provide sufficient cover.
Emergency calls will be answered as normal and incidents where life is considered to be in danger will be prioritised.
The service is calling on the public to help cut the risk of fire, drive with extra care, and avoid dialling 999 unless in a genuine emergency.
A spokesman said: "Fires can start for a variety of reasons, from cooking being left unattended, to electrical faults or candles being placed too close to furnishings.
"The best advice we can give is for everyone to ensure they have a smoke alarm in their home and to check the battery is working at least once a week.
"During previous waves of industrial action Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service has been able to attend and deal with incidents where an emergency response was required so we'd urge the public to show the same vigilance again and help the strikes pass off safely."
The FBU says that as well as the two strikes, firefighters will refuse to carry out any voluntary overtime.
Union officials met fire minister Brandon Lewis on Tuesday but talks broke down.
The Department for Communities and Local Government accused the FBU of not being serious about finding a resolution.
A spokesman said: "The Government has made clear that a way forward can be reached, but not under the shadow of industrial action, which only serves to damage firefighters' standing with the public."

"I was hesitant to order the wrap around labels for our invitations, because I was not sure how large our names would be and if the font was large enough for the address. These labels are STUNNING! We were thinking about writing the address ourselves or purchasing a stamp, however, I am so glad we did not. Definitely a great buy. Very happy with these."
"I actually bought 2 sets of these to go with some invitations I ordered and to use for everyday. They are so lovely - high quality, easy to read and overall the best labels I've ever purchased."
"These labels are perfect! I love the wrap around style as it adds a personal touch when the guest opens the back of the envelope. Plus, the design is gorgeous!"
"I fell in love with this design and color scheme. Getting married this summer, our names on the label will be a lovely gift to my groom."
"I love these! Our friends and family were so impressed. I loved that I was able to find address labels that kept with our garden/flower theme. It made things so much easier and looked so classy! 10/10 would order again or suggest to a friend!"

Saying "nobody likes a funeral," prominent Republicans are staying away from their convention. Politico reports that out of twelve Republican candidates in competitive Senate races, only three have agreed to come to the convention. Six are definite no-shows, and three are still deciding.
Several other prominent Republicans have formed "Republicans for Obama". Former Representative Jim Leach of Iowa said that "The prospect that we'll have more of the same -- that is the source of angst of many Republicans around the country."

'Turtles' Tops Weak Debut For 'Expendables 3′
In To Be Out: Gay Celebrities
MIAMI (AP) — Moviegoers continued to shell out for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," while Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables 3″ was easily out-gunned in its weekend debut.
The rebooted reptiles took in $28.4 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That far surpassed the $16.2 million earned by Stallone's gang of aged warriors.
The paltry, fourth-place total for "The Expendables 3," a PG-13 turn for the previously R-rated action franchise, is well below previous hauls. The last two "Expendables" opened with $34.8 million and $28.6 million.
Instead, the Marvel's "The Guardians of the Galaxy" came in second with $24.7 million in its third weekend. The buddy comedy "Let's Be Cops" landed in third with a $17.7 million opening.
The Lois Lowry adaption "The Giver" debuted with $12.8 million.

Gorgeous Save the Dates
Modern Honeycomb Lace Save the Date Magnets We ordered our save the date magnets and they were amazing! I would recommend magnet street to anyone for their wedding needs.
Great job
Modern Honeycomb Lace Save the Date Magnets I wasn't sure how my magnets would look at first. But my recent order looked soo amazing
Great Quality, Easy to Personalize Magnets
Living Dream Save the Date Magnets I went out on a limb and ordered my save the date magnets without getting a free sample and I am not disappointed! They came out looking exactly like the picture and everyone thinks they're adorable! I'm so excited to send them out!
Love the personalization!
Fall Treasures Pocket Invitations My favorite feature is creating a color palette. We liked a few different invites and were able to customize them all with our colors (and tweak, if needed). Did I mention that samples come in your own colors?! Really, that sealed the deal for us. Seeing the samples in our own colors made it much easier to make a selection and we are SO happy with our invites!
Great Value
Alluring Affection Rectangle Invitations I really enjoyed everything about my experience with MagnetStreet! I originally ordered samples to see if the low prices indicated low quality. I was WRONG! They had fantastic quality, great selection and very FAST processing. I worried that I waited too long to order my invites but the turn around by MagnetStreet to get me my invitations removed all of my concerns! The Quality of the invites was great and the packaging of the invites in a magnetic box with plenty of packaging ensured all of my invites arrived fully intact. The selection was fantastic as well! I really wanted everything I ordered to follow the same theme. MagnetStreet had everything I could think of in my theme from the Invites all the way to the placecards. And the ability to customize to my specific wedding colors was a fun bonus!

Results tagged "John G Berylson"
By Ian Toal, Millwall Supporters' Club.
The defeat at Upton Park was an extremely disappointing result. To have West Ham down to 10 men after just nine minutes of the game after a crude challenge by Kevin Nolan on Jack Smith meant the West Ham captain would play no further part in the game.
By Ian Toal, Millwall Supporters' Club.
The defeat at Blackpool on Saturday brought Millwall supporters back down to Earth.
After three successive wins, scoring 10 goals, we were flying up the table and there was even talk of us not being a million miles away from the teams occupying the play-off positions.
Millwall have announced their best financial results in seven years after slashing their losses.
The Championship club revealed their losses for the year to June 2011 had fallen by £2.8million from the previous year to £600,000 - their best off-field performance since the 2003-04 season when they reached the FA Cup final.
Kenny Jackett has confirmed his commitment to the Millwall cause by signing a new 12-month rolling contract with the club.
Jackett, 49, has been manager at The Den since 2007, leading them to promotion from League One to The Championship last year.
Millwall head into tomorrow's Championship clash looking to extend their four match unbeaten run.
Manager Kenny Jackett has some interesting selection issues, with Liam Trotter available again after recovering from a hamstring strain that's kept him out of the last two games.

8 Ball All Stars has no review on Wii's World.
itstimetoplaydawii said:
That's the most plain cover I've ever seen.
Wii Freak said:
This is going to sell like NoNB is popular.
Your Mom said:
Wow Pool how great.
SonyWii360 said:
That cover does suck I agree, hope the game is good though.
Elementrat said:
I agree the cover is horrible. We already have a billiards type game in Wii Play so I honestly don't see this being too important.
frank said:
The cover is minimal. I kind of like it.
Crimson Hawk said:
Wii Freak, that is true on so many different levels! The cover looks, um... how can I put this. AH-HA, yes, I got it, it looks "plain, too ordinary, and just plain dumb"! But I like pool.
Johnnii said:
I think the Wii play billiards is just an example of the potential for a more in depth pool or snooker on Wii. Plus the Wii play billiards doesn't even have proper rules.
Luigi said:
The 8 ball makes it hot.
wiifan1975 said:
Until this comes out, why not put my old NES pool game onto the VC? I'm ready for it. That was fun.
Paul said:
If they do a good job with the physics like spin, I will get it.
rhys said:
I like the cover. Does what it says on the tin.
Super Vegeta said:
The cover does look plain, obviously tells you what it is about. The Wii Play is 9-Ball pool not 8-ball. 9 ball is where you have to be the first to get 1-9 in the pocket in order. 8-Ball is where you hit every one of your own balls (stripe or solid) and hit in the 8-ball last.
Fiesta said:
Wow, if it's coming out next month, they better change the cover and release new info.
Super Vegeta said:
Wiifan which NES pool game? Lunar Pool (which happens to be my favorite pool games for the NES), Snooker, 8-Ball, etc.
DigitalSorceress said:
If it actually uses the Wii controls to enhance the game mechanics, I'll buy it, but I'm going to wait to read a hands-on review before I plunk down my cash. I made that mistake with Pool Party- not going to do it again.
Michael Muller said:
Feels pretty special to write about the first game on the list. Fortunately, I am a large fan of the art of billiards. By the way, I truly recommend this game. I was able to get it for my birthday since it was released a day before.
Wii Fanatic said:
The cover is plain but groovy, it's like a hippie's idea of pool.
64bitdude said:
Who cares if the cover is bad, as long as it's a good game. The need for this is because the Wii play 9 ball game is monotonous and sucky, not to mention not having proper rules (though I do like the control scheme).

Full detailed profile on Nathan West/James Nathan Reeves Played by Ryan Paevey on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
(ABC/Todd Warywchuck)
Nathan West/James Nathan Reeves
Actor: Ryan Paevey
Who played Nathan West/James Nathan Reeves over the years
Ryan Paevey (January 2, 2014 - present)
Useful information on Nathan West/James Nathan Reeves
* An NYPD detective who moved to Port Charles to investigate a cold case involving Dr. Silas Clay.
Current: PCPD Detective
Past: NYPD Detective
Det. Nathan West's presence was first felt in Port Charles when he began leaving multiple unanswered voicemails for Dr. Silas Clay and Ava Jerome concerning Silas' comatose wife Nina. The cold case landed on West's desk and after some digging he was convinced Silas injected his wife with an overdose of her anti-depressant, sending her into the coma.
Nathan moved to Port Charles to get close to Silas and began subletting Maxie Jones' apartment on New Year's Eve when she left to go find herself. He was partnered with Dante Falconeri on the force and was immediately immersed in the disappearance of Carly Jacks.
Madeline Reeves (aunt, raised him as his mother)
Dr. Liesl Obrecht (mother)
Dr. Britt Westbourne (sister)
Nina Reeves Clay (cousin)
There are no additional images yet
At the hospital, Kiki cries to Silas that she lost Michael forever. He urges her to fight for him. Silas urges Kiki to find Michael. He wishes he'd gone after Sam. Down the hall, Ava wakes up in her room in a panic. She asks Julian if they found her daughter. He informs his sister that Madeline is in the hospital too. Ava wants to choke the truth out of her old enemy. She tries leaping out of bed so he has to calm her. "They took my daughter!" she squeals. Silas comes in and agrees with Julian: she needs to stay put. In Madeline's hospital room, Obrecht thinks Maddy looks vulnerable. Nathan thanks Obrecht for filling him in. She knows she's not the mother of his dreams but she does care for him. Maddy wakes up confused. Nathan tells her she's cuffed to the bed because she helped Nina and the baby. Madeline explains what happened with Nina to Liesl and Nathan. He urges her to tell him who was with Nina. "It was Franco," she says. Obrecht realizes she tipped Franco off but keeps mum. After Nathan departs, the sisters compare who has lied to Nathan more. Magda doesn't approve of her sister acting like a Franco fan girl and telling him where Nina was hiding.
At the PCPD, Sonny yells from his cell for a lawyer and Alexis shows up. Sonny wants bail but she's there to represent Duke. He says he can't afford her and learns Lucy's paying for it. Duke thinks Sonny needs her more than he does. Sonny wants Alexis to represent him. She explains that she can't since she's already representing Duke so it's a conflict of interest. She suggests he call Diane and leaves. Upstairs, Anna rants to Scott that his son went on a terrorist spree yesterday because of him. She asks if he knows where Franco is. Scott reads the letter Franco left for him to Anna. She asks for a warrant for his son's arrest. He agrees to get it done and leaves to make a copy of the letter. Duke is taken upstairs. He runs into Anna and wants to speak to her but she stomps off. Nathan runs in to tell Anna that his mom tipped him off about Nina and Franco. In the interrogation room, Duke tells lexis he's sure he's headed for jail. She tells him he can stay out if he rolls over on Sonny. Meanwhile, Carly reads the news about Sonny and hugs Morgan, apologetic for screwing up royally. She's thankful he saved Sonny. She laments what happened to Michael. Morgan fills his mom in about what he knew and when. She apologizes for dragging him into this. They worry about Michael. She spots Scott and starts railing about his evil son. He's issued a warrant for his son... and her. She's arrested. Carly tells Morgan not to worry and look for the baby. Scott takes her down to the cells.
Dante and Nathan burst through the door to the storage room at the warehouse, but no bomb goes off. The group inside fills them in on Franco's latest mind game. An APB is put out on Franco for kidnapping. Dante takes Carly home, and Heather is taken into custody by Nathan, leaving Jordan and Shawn to talk. Jordan wants to know if Shawn still plans on telling TJ about his father. Shawn says it is time for the truth to come out. Jordan realizes he is right and says they will tell him together.
Nathan brings Heather into the PCPD and books her for shooting Max. Later, Anna takes Heather down to the holding cells where they pass Sonny and Duke. Sonny begs Anna for news on the baby, but Anna has none to tell him. Back in the station house, Nathan receives a call from Obrecht giving him the whereabouts of Nina and the baby.
Anna and Nathan arrive at the motel room with guns drawn. They find Madeline unconscious and covered with a sheet, but no Nina or Ava's baby.

J.D. Power has released their U.S. Initial Quality Study for 2014, where General Motors, Hyundai and Porsche earned top marks despite consumers still struggling with the gizmology taking over their vehicles.
Last week, an amazing video popped up on my Facebook feed. Produced by a small Idaho based startup seeking funding from the public via an IndieGoGo campaign, it offers a glimpse into a possible future where the roads are made out of reinforced glass panels that contain solar cells, microprocessors and LEDs. The company, Solar Roadways, has been working on this product for years and it has already attracted a considerable amount of attention from the tech community. Now, as it seeks money to hire a team of engineers to perfect and streamline the production process, it appears as though Solar Roadways is finally ready for the big time. (Read More…)
With little fanfare Mercedes-Benz recently announced a claimed first-of-its-kind program designed to help firefighters and EMTs at sites of severe accidents involving Mercedes-Benz vehicles. With Rescue Assist, the company is installing QR code stickers on their cars so First Responders will be able to use a Smartphone to bring up a schematic of the vehicle showing where airbags, the fuel tank, and other critical structural components are located. Their intent is to make the accident scene safer for rescue folks and passengers, particular in cases where the "Jaws Of Life" are needed.
Established in the waning days of the Bush Administration, the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program lent a total of $8.3 billion (out of the budgeted $25 billion) to Nissan, Tesla, Ford and Fisker, yet has not been able to make new loans for a number of reasons since 2011.
That status, however, is about to change.
In a week we will post our first full review of the all-new and all-controversial 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The new Jeep isn't just raising eyebrows for the love-it or hate-it styling. Or the resurrection of the Cherokee badge. Or the constant delays in production. Or the transverse mounted engine. Or the lack of solid axles. None of that laundry list seems to cause as much discussion around the automotive water cooler than ZF's 9HP 9-speed transmission. Click past the jump for a deep dive into the tranny with more speeds than my bicycle. If you don't want to explore transmissions in detail, don't click. You have been warned.
Engine downsizing is all the rage. Making the engine smaller increases fuel efficiency, reduces emissions and cuts vehicle weight. With ever tightening fuel economy legislation in the United States and CO2 emissions regulation in the European Union, mainline manufacturers are turning to turbochargers like never before. In 2009 just 5% of cars sold in America sported turbos, and that 5% consisted largely of European brands like Volvo and BMW with a long history of forced induction. By 2013 that number had more than doubled to 13%. Honeywell expects the number to rise to 25% in the next four years and the EPA tells me that by 2025 they expect 90% of cars sold in America to sport a turbo engine. With turbos becoming so ordinary, what's a turbo pioneer like Volvo do to keep a competitive edge? Add a supercharger of course.

Hi Sajeev, Long-time listener, first-time caller. I have a 2011 Volvo C30 that was recently rear-ended pretty good. As a result of the collision, the car has just had $8k+ of work done in a body shop. Included in the list of work done (among the obvious paint, bumper cover, tailgate, etc) is 4 hours of labor for a "unibody pull". Like everyone else, I know people who have horror stories about cars that have never been the same again after accidents. I've only had the car back for a couple of days and everything feels ok so far, but I do fear lingering issues.
What are your thoughts on a repair like this making the car 100% again? Would you dump it immediately to avoid any potential issues or hold on to it and see? (Read More…)
Ah, the good old days. A time when smartphones were just PDA's with hormone imbalances.

The rumor mill has been grinding away as of late regarding the possible return of Ford CEO Alan Mulally to helm either one of two of Seattle's many economic engines: Microsoft and Boeing. In the face of these rumors, Mulally has opted not to dispel the rampant speculation.

Shaheen touts land conservation fund
The LWCF Act, which began in 1965, regulates the use of admission and recreation user fees to purchase and conserve land and water throughout the nation.
Donald Shumway, president of Crotched Mountain Foundation, said the LCWF provided the mechanism to help create the largest handicapped accessible trail for the Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center in Greenfield
Jay Steeve, of Timberland, said the LWCF is important since it's apolitical, allowing access to resources, protecting wildlife habitats and even offering recreational opportunities, like soccer fields.
Rodger Krussman, state director for the Trust for Public Land, said the LWCF helps protect tracts of land and encourages communities and organizations to help conserve properties, which has been especially successful in New Hampshire.
Eric Orff, certified wildlife biologist, said the only way to ensure continued sustainability of natural resources is to ensure the love for the outdoors is passed down.
Brensinger suggested offering more access to nature, such as creating hiking trails and expanding access along the Cocheco River in the downtown.
Shaheen said she hopes to reach out gain more support, especially in the lumber and forestry industries. She said these businesses are another "whole aspect" of the coalition of groups that can agree on sustaining the resources for all.

Why does everyone hate Jacques-imo's
- s
- sturdytable Sep 15, 2011 07:23 PM
Why does everyone hate Jacques-imo's? I have never dined there in all my times in New Orleans, but have many friends (both locals and tourists) that love that place. I need some specifics. I'd like to hear from some folks who like it as well please.
The place is great, unique, fun, funky and the food is usually very good. Their sides are to die for. I have had a few clunkers on the menu, but lately the food has been better than ever. It is very loud and the waiting area is not comfortable at all unless you find a spot at the bar and have a few drinks. Someone on this board just asked for recommendations of someplace similar to Jacques Imos to recommend to friends. There isn't any. It truly is a one-of-a-kind New Orleans experience capped off by an owner who is almost always there, even if he usually is a little drunk. One drawback is the service can be spotty. They go with a team effort thing. One person brings your waters, one person takes your drink orders, another person may take your food orders and other people run your food. Sometimes this leads to inattentiveness, but other times it's just part of the quirkiness. If you've never been, it's definitely worth a visit, just be patient and enjoy New Orleans-time.
re: shanefink
judging by the lines and wait times i would say that EVERYONE does not hate Jacques-Imo's!!!!! Maybe a few snobby people don't really like it or do not appreciate the kitsch but most people I know LOVE Jacques-imo' and certainly any guests from out of town that I have brought there adored the place! It's always been a great time in my book.
Jacques-Imo's Cafe
8324 Oak St, New Orleans, LA 70118
re: mcegielski
The food is mediocre. I find that by the time you order an app, entree, drinks, you could have dined far better elsewhere (eg Emeril's, Coquette...) with a resv.
Slow service and folks lingering make table turnover slow. Go when they open to avoid the long wait times. We've been told 30 mins which in Jacques speak is an hour and a half. It is funky, loud and a slice of nola's quirkier side. Everyone should probably go once for the "ambience" and the fried chicken (what they do best).
Emeril's Restaurant
800 Tchoupitoulas, New Orleans, LA 70130
Jacques-Imo's is great if you're drunk and rowdy. It's loud, crowded, and the food is hit or miss and you can tell the place is owned by a drunk. I used to love their fried chicken but one night as I was walking through the kitchen to get to my table, there was literally a bucket of it sitting on the floor. You're better off getting lunch at Crabby Jack's, which is also Jacques Leonardi's place. I do have to say, if they screw something up, they'll overcompensate. Another time, we were seated almost an hour after our reservation (they only take reservations for large parties) so they gave us every appetizer on the menu for free.

Eating at Jacques-Imo's is a fun dining experience. Comparing it to Emeril's is absurd. The food compares very favorably to many NOLA neighborhood joints.

You need to know what you are in for when you go to Jacues-imo's. I've been several times and I love it! The wait will definitely be majorly long but if you go two doors down to Maple Leaf bar they will come over and get you when your table is ready. I've never had any food that was even marginal there. It's all good. The servers have always doted on my groups. It's loud and the tables are close together. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for a funeral lunch. I would recommend it as a precursor to a great night out on the town.
re: mimadeli
I don't hate it, I just see no point in waiting for a table in a cramped restaurant, when there are numerous places with better food and a comfort factor that is light years ahead. I see why people go, sure, but not my idea of a pleasurable dining experience.
Cool. I appreciate all the responses. I'm bringing a bunch of guys from Orlando who have never been and I was hoping we weren't wasting our time. Most people seem to dig it on at least some level. I'll chance it.
The food is fine, the service is spotty, but some claim it is the best spot in New Orleans and that is an extreme exaggeration to say the least. The only problem I have with the place are its fan boys which greatly over due it. Otherwise it is a great place, just know what you are getting into.
re: jdm40
after 20 plus years of visiting New Orleans, i finally made it to Jacque-Imos in June. i was with a group of 6, so we were able to make reservations. we had prompt, friendly service. we enjoyed the "scene", noticed we were sat and fed while the crowd at the bar was still waiting when we left. and the food was good. i was surprised. the only problem i had, was i didn't know how large the portions were before i went. so be aware, the entrees can easily feed two people.
Husband & I both love Jacques-Imo's and have been many times, including several birthday celebrations. Yes, it can be rowdy and crowded, but with a party of 5 or more (I think) you can get a reservation, or go early. It's not a quick place to get a bite, relax, have a drink, and enjoy the experience. Fried chicken, carpetbagger steak, lots of yum.

re: lawhound05
I agree. If you know what you're in for, it's a wonderful experience. I think it may be a generational thing as well. Some folks would never like this Jacques-Imos. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but for others it's super-fun. I also think they've stepped up their game lately. The last two times, the food and even the service were spot-on.
Jacques-Imo's Cafe
8324 Oak St, New Orleans, LA 70118
Well, I don't consider myself "older/conservative' as a diner, nor are any of my frequent dining companions. I think for many of us who have seen the shine wear off of the place, it is because it was so very good/exciting the first few years out. According to my sister, for whom it was hands down her favorite resto for quite a few years, the food quality just really deteriorated. I don't know if it was the expansion, or the chef's penchant for excesses, perhaps some staff turnover, but the last few years when I (or any of my friends) have gone, it just simply hasn't been as good. Not horrible, just not anything special at all. Indeed, I took my then new to town boyfriend and his best buddy a few years back, and they are by no means picky eaters and we were all roundly underwhelmed. The staff were fine, casual/fun, but for the price I'd just as soon go elsewhere, and I wish I didn't feel that way, think the ambience is just great. Indeed, we once had the chef plop himself down with his bottle at our table and amuse us greatly with his enthusiastic recounting of his tour of the Bonny Doon winery. If they have turned it around in the past year or two, that is great news.
re: dotspotter
I don't like it. There you go!
I was just there for the first time this last week. I think the only people that would have something bad to say about Jaques Imo's.....should stay home. It was fabulous!! We did not have to wait long to be seated. The service was not slow. Yes- going through the kitchen was a little different but that was part of the experience. It was exactly what we were looking for...our first time in New Orleans. I can not wait to go back!!
I don't hate it, but I can get fried chicken that is as good or better in several places where I live, so that leaves out the main reason for going. We have been twice. Was not happy either time. My food was average (wife's was good). Service was terrible. We were also seated pretty close to what I guess is a dish "dump" area. They constantly dumped tubs of dishes and silverware all through our meal. Second time, different table location, but service was really spotty (a little rude actually) and so close to other tables I was bumped all night long by passersby. WAY too many other wonderful choices in NOLA to put up with the mess at Jacques-imo
re: lambrechtgourmet
OK, lambrecht, you and I are on the same page with this one, too. Our one (and will be only) time there was way less than stellar. I don't care how good you are, a 2 and 1/2 hour wait is way too long. Plus the drinks they were pouring at the bar were watered down, quite unlike most NOLA bars. A person should be able to cop a buzz in that amount of time. The food wasn't bad, but who cares after 2 and 1/2 hours? We should have left, but at that point, in for a penny, in for a pound. We caught the host/ess seating several folks who came in after us, and we think that's why the service was so unctuous when we finally got seated. And I'm sorry, the alligator cheesecake is not all that and a bag of chips. as you say, there are tons more places to eat in NO that are far superior to JI's in food, drinks, and service, with much less of a hassle. For those of you who love to go there, I say more power to you.

Doors again, need something new
Some of the 'the object must be placed exactly' levels are irritating. Otherwise fun.
Was great until complete lvl 62 and been waiting over a month for more. Shouldnt have put it on until you had finished making the game, if no lvls in next few weeks will uninstall it as getting fed up waiting now
Some levels are easy, some make you think. All -in- all it is a very good game. There are quite a few adds, just ignore them. You will enjoy this game
Try to get away
I understand that free apps come with ads, but one after every puzzle is a little over kill.
