NDP ministers caught with cookie jar crumbs
So it seems not even NDP cabinet ministers can deny themselves the sweet siren song known as "Go Jets Go." The difference between us and them, however, is that we actually have to pay for our tickets, if we can get any.
Now ministers Steve Ashton, Gord Mackintosh, Andrew Swan, Dave Chomiak and more join the ranks of those elected officials who believe that they deserve so-called entitlements on top of their annual $120,000 taxpayer funded salaries.
This mentality is not exclusive to Today's NDP. Former Liberal MP David Dingwall famously told a House of Commons committee he was "entitled to his entitlements" in reference to his reported $500,000 severance package as head of the Royal Canadian Mint.
More recently, Conservative cabinet minister Bev Oda has been in the news for repaying the $1,350 difference between the hotel she was booked into and the five-star hotel she preferred.
Manitobans have every right to expect more from their elected officials, especially when Finance Minister Stan Struthers stated, "We don't want to have ministers... seen to have an advantage over regular, everyday Manitobans."
News flash for Struthers, they were seen.
Once again taxpayers receive the obligatory pat on the head and are told all is right in the world as those ministers have since paid for their tickets.
Of course, as federal NDP House leader Nathan Cullen noted in reference to Oda's repayment, "She only did this because she got caught" and the same applies to this situation.
What should also be of concern to Manitobans is that it appears when the minister responsible for MLCC, Jim Rondeau, told the Opposition, "We will provide the information in due course," it turned out the Canadian Taxpayer's Federation had been supplied the information almost five weeks earlier.
It's a sad day for democracy when even the simplest of requests can be denied in the name of political games.
Are there bigger issues facing our province? Yes, just read the Free Press report on our crumbling roads and the $13 billion infrastructure deficit, for example. However, the freebie Jets ticket issue gives us a peak as to the thinking of our elected officials.
When government has to bring in a no-free-Jets-ticket policy for cabinet ministers because we cannot rely on an individual's common sense to kick in and say, "Hmmm, this is probably not the best optics," then just maybe there is cause for concern. Transparency and accountability should be ideals to strive for, not crumbs found at the bottom of the cookie jar.
Shannon Martin is a Winnipeg political commentator.

text: Ryan Bourget 1 Final Manufacturing Assignment Surface Finishing From Ra to Rz April 2003 Ryan Bourget Ryan Bourget 2 Surface Finish Surface finish, by definition, is the allowable deviation from a perfectly flat surface that is made by some manufacturing process. Whenever any process is used to manufacture a part, there will be some roughness on the surface. This roughness can be caused by a cutting tool making tiny grooves on the surface or by the individual grains of the grinding wheel each cutting it's own groove on the surface. It is affected by the choice of tool, speed of the tool, environmental conditions, and definitely by what material you are working with. Even when there is no machining involved, as in casting/injection molding, the surface of the mold will have surface deviation, which in turn will be transferred onto the part. Even if you could create a mold which was perfectly flat, the cooling process and thermal properties of the material would cause surface imperfections. So, like everything else in the manufacturing world, we have had to make a compromise between function and cost of manufacturing. If you don't need a mirror finish all over the brake drum, then you just cast it and worry about machining the surfaces that need to be (relatively) flat for the function of the part. I have included at the end of the report a chart that details the surface finishes that can be obtained by many different processing methods. The science of metrology – the and this will create (either by study of surface finish/texture/etc. analog or electronic means) a goes into such depth with the profile of the surface. A profile statistical analysis and complex might look like this: calculus (I'll explain how this enters later) that I'm only going to go over the basics of two- dimensional surface profile analysis. For most types of surface finish measurements, the testing equipment works as follows: a stylus is dragged across a surface, Ryan Bourget 3 Surface texture is generally broken up into three components upon analysis: roughness, waviness, and form. Roughness is generally the marks made on a surface by the machining tool. eg: grooves from the tool or from each grinding granule on a grinding wheel. Waviness is the result of the distance between the cutting tool and the workpiece changing. This is caused by vibration in the tool, a class of students walking by the machine, etc. Vibration can also be inside the tool; from the power motor, or from a worn spindle. If you assume that the part is straight and flat, form errors are because the machine tool's ways are not straight or are worn. This will create surface irregularities, but will do so in a consistant manner, because the machine will always follow the same path along it's ways. All three surface finish components exist simultaneously. They just overlap one another. We often will want to look at each (roughness, waviness, and form) separately, so we make the assumption (a correct one, in most cases) that roughness has a shorter wavelength than waviness, which in turn has a shorter wavelength than form. When analyzing surface finish, there are more than 100 different parameters in existence (in recognized standards) and many more that have been developed for special products/circumstances. Many of these are either redundant or just plain unnecessary. I am going to examine in some depth Ra and the different forms of Rz in use today, and touch on some others, as they have their own usefulness. The parameter most used in North America for general surface roughness is Ra. It measures average roughness by comparing all the peaks and valleys to the mean line, and then averaging them all over the entire cutoff length. (Cutoff length is the length that the stylus is dragged across the surface; a longer cutoff length will give a more average value, and a shorter cutoff length might give a less accurate result over a shorter stretch of surface) It's also referred to as CLA (center line average) and AA (area average). The old name for the specification is RHR. In the picture below, the Ra can fall between 10 and 20μin. Benefits to using the Ra method are its simplicity and its widespread use. Ryan Bourget 4 However, Ra is a simple method of analyzing the profile, and it doesn't tell you everything about a surface. The three surfaces below will all display the same Ra value, but as you can see, they are quite different surfaces. So if Ra doesn't give a detailed enough picture of the surface finish of a part, we need to use a different parameter. Another parameter that can be useful is Rymax. This is an ISO standard that measures the distance between the highest peak and the lowest valley over a cutoff length. This is a sensitive method of interpreting the data, and if over the measurement length a scratch or imperfection was encountered, you would get an extremely high reading. It was formerly called just Rmax. An old form of measuring is by using a parameter called Rq. For Rq, you take the profile and turn it into a pure sine wave. Integrating the area under the curve can get the mean deviation from the mean line, and calculate the surface roughness. But because the profile of a surface will NEVER look like a sine wave, this approximation has been almost completely replaced by more accurate means of analyzing and reporting the data. Ryan Bourget 5 The parameter most widely used in Europe is Rz, or mean roughness depth. The Rz ISO standard is also called "Ten Point Average Roughness". It averages the height of the five highest peaks and the depth of the five lowest valleys over the measuring length, using an unfiltered profile. The Rz DIN standard (a German standard) averages the highest point and lowest point over five cutoffs. The newer Japanese standard (JIS) measures the same points, but filters (slightly smooths) the raw data before creating a profile. There is also a different method of interpreting the same data, in a parameter called R3zi. It takes the third highest peak and the third highest valley over one sample length. This is much more forgiving of things like scratches and uncommon imperfections in the surface, but you wouldn't want to evaluate the surface that you are mounting a seal to if it will disregard a gouge in the surface. There is also R3z, which averages a number of R3zi values. There are many many more parameters and evaluation methods for surface finish. Some are quite specialized for a small number of applications. One company manufactures tubing for process (neutral) gasses for the manufacture of microchips and microprocessors. The smallest imperfections on the inside of the tube can cause a buildup of contaminants, and these in turn can be picked up by the inert gas. They have developed new parameters – RaCH : continually shifts the mean point and identifies the largest Ra over the entire length. RaCL: the same, but identifies the smallest Ra over the length. RaCA: continually averages the Ra values over the cutoff length. These parameters haven't been adopted by any governing standards body, but have been accepted as a "standard" within that industry. Other parameters, such as skewness, kurtosis, core roughness depth, Swedish height, etc. go into much more depth in analyzing the profile. Some of these are used in optical applications where the angle of the wave entering the surface will be refracted/reflected differently based on the angle of the profile "bumps". Ryan Bourget 6 The surface finish symbol, as denoted on drawings, can specify many more things than general surface roughness (Ra, usually in μin or μm). See drawing below a – roughness value (Ra) b – production method, treatment, coating, etc. c – sampling length (cutoff) d – direction of lay e – minimum material removal f – roughness value other than Ra preceded by its symbol (eg Rz 1.5) Surface finish may be denoted by a roughness grade number. Here is a table that specifies the Ra values for roughness grade numbers. (ISO standard – 1992) Roughness values Ra Roughness Grade m in Numbers 50 2000 N12 25 1000 N11 12.5 500 N10 6.3 250 N9 3.2 125 N8 1.6 63 N7 0.8 32 N6 0.4 16 N5 0.2 8 N4 0.1 4 N3 0.05 2 N2 0.025 1 N1 Ryan Bourget 7 There is hundreds of different styles of 2-D surface testers, but they all essentially do the same thing. Stylus tips are the same as on most precision measuring equipment, being a very hard stone usually. The stylus on the Mitutoyo Surftest 211 (the tester in the shop) is diamond tipped. This is to prevent deflection of the tip when it encounters the tiny bumps on the surface. The stylus tip can have a different radius depending on the application and how you plan to analyze the data. The radius on the diamond tip on the Mitutoyo tester is 5μm. The downward force of the stylus when measuring is 4 mN. While something of this nature may be good for most circumstances, if you are testing the surface of a soft material like gold, you might be scratching the surface with your surface tester. The customer will probably fail to see the irony in that, so different methods of testing must be used. There are optical and other non-contact methods of measuring surface quality, but are generally very expensive (starting above $10,000). Surface testers generally are calibrated before being used (and periodically thereafter) because the tester amplifies the signal. It's reading is compared to a known value, and adjusted until the tester displays the same reading as the reference specimen. The surface tester in the lab gets calibrated by a specimen with an Ra value of 116μin (2.95μm). The cutoff lengths you can choose are .01in (.25mm) .03 in (0.8mm) and 0.1in (2.5mm). I found that if you use the shortest cutoff length, the reading is inaccurate. The longest cutoff length returns an error more often than not, and the middle length returns a reasonable result. (There is no other tester to compare accuracy for…) This report has barely "scratched the surface" of metrology but gives a quick insight into this interesting and indepth field. Ryan Bourget 8

Paul Allen sells Allan Island; buyer plans up to 12 homes
Paul Allen has sold a 292-acre island southwest of Anacortes for $8 million, a third of its original listing price in 2005.
Seattle Times business reporter
This week billionaire Paul Allen finally sold a 292-acre island in the San Juans that had been on and off the market since the go-go days of 2005.
Listed in 2005 for $25 million and slashed to $13.5 million in 2009, Allan Island sold Dec. 20 for a mere $8 million, according to data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
The island — named after a Navy hero, not the Microsoft co-founder — is southwest of Anacortes and west of Burrows Bay.
It's accessible only by private plane, boat or float plane. The island has a "log-style home for caretakers quarters" and is made up of 44 tax lots, according to a listing by Windermere Real Estate Orcas Island.
"The vision for this property is it will be a small community for good friends and family," said Tere Foster, a Windermere real-estate agent based in Bellevue who represented the undisclosed buyer.
Foster said the buyer, who is from the Seattle area, envisions 10 to 12 homes on the island.
The buyer purchased Allan Island through AI Project, a recently formed limited liability company whose managers and directors have not yet been reported to the Secretary of State's Office.
Wallace Gudgell, the Windermere agent who listed the property, said this sale was an unusual one in the three decades he's been selling islands in the Pacific Northwest.
Gudgell said it was on the market for nine years and in escrow five times.
In this case, "the seller was concerned with what they wanted to do with the island," he said.
Because of the nature of secondary-home markets, island values plunged more than 50 percent during the Great Recession and recently hit bottom, Gudgell said.
In 1992, Allen bought the island to build a vacation home. Four years later, he bought a large Sperry Peninsula site on Lopez Island for $8 million. He much preferred that 387-acre site to Allan Island, Gudgell told The Seattle Times in 2005.
Material from Seattle Times archives was used in this report.

"Our brain is designed to realize what we wish, without any minor errors," says Dahn Yoga founder Ilchi Lee. "If you want success, it will create success. If you want happiness or health, it will create them. Anything is possible, as long as negative thoughts and emotions don't interfere."
To make this challenging, yet hopeful, philosophy accessible to all, Lee combined the Eastern concept of chi energy with his own brain-management system, developing a distinctive program that unlocks inner peace and sweeps up brain clutter caused by the daily stress of always having to find Waldo. This focus, shared by Body & Brain Holistic Yoga and The Life Yoga, forms the basis of the studio's classes and consultations. Warm-up yoga maneuvers awaken muscles before 30–40 minutes of breathing, stretching, core practice, and meditation—including a signature brain-wave vibration technique that aims to calibrate mental and physical energies. Cooldown exercises ease the body back into quotidian functionality before a 10-minute teatime invites socialization among participants while bolstering pinkie endurance.
CounterStrike MMA Academy is a martial arts schools that focuses on high quality training in specific disciplines including: Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Jeet Kune Do, and Kali-Escrima.
Sixty-one 100-pound punching bags hang from chains like an upside-down fitness forest at Title Boxing Club in Naperville. On any given day, this expansive workout area finds men and women donning gloves and punching or kicking up a sweat in fitness classes built on the fundamentals of competitive boxing and kickboxing training. Group classes, also known as Power Hour sessions, are led by a team of trainers whose previous experience ranges from boxing and playing college football to earning degrees in kinesiology. These classes are complemented by private lessons that make use of the facility?s speed bags, free weights, and cardio machines. An onsite ring allows students to practice their footwork while learning how to protect the face?that is, by learning how to wear Kevlar mustaches.
A Center for the Martial Arts - Soseikan Dojo is one of the best Martial Arts Centers in the southwest suburbs. Offering classes in AIKIDO, Iaido, Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, Asian Bodywork Restoration Therapy, Kenpo (Karate), Silat, Tai Chi / Chi Gung, Japanese Language and Total Body Boot Camp. Open 7 days a week.
LA Boxing offers fitness classes in boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts. The proprietary style of the LA Boxing workout is a mixture of genuine fight training, engaging fitness, and stronger-than-earth gravity. Quasi-boxers and martial artists usually burn a significant amount of calories during these total-body routines, which combine external inspiration with jukes, jabs, and kicks. Both men and women are welcome in the ring, where they'll learn new techniques and methods to blissfully break into a sweat in an energetic group setting. Gloves are provided during the one-month trial membership, as are a set of reusable pro-quality hand wraps and complimentary motivational mumbling from Mickey Goldmill (all three subject to availability).
Trapped against the ropes? Pinned on the ground? Faced with multiple opponents? It doesn't matter the scenario, the instructors at Academy of Self Defense teach ways to defend yourself in any situation. Some of their classes, such as Thai Boxing or MMA, focus on the skills adults need to succeed in the ring. Others, such as Systema—a martial art form developed by the Russian special forces, train students how to rely on natural instincts to ward off attackers in the real world. Kids' karate classes, meanwhile, not only cover self defense moves, but also character building techniques that carry over into schoolwork and home life. The coaches also lead a fight team, which includes two professional fighters, ten amateur fighters, and one guy who knows where to score really colorful shorts.

November 27, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) -- Republican candidates Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard acknowledge they've been seriously outspent and are trailing in some polls in the Illinois governor's race.
But the state senators say they are not worried. They say the same was true weeks before the 2010 GOP primary. And on election day, Brady won and Dillard finished a close second.
As the March 18 primary nears, they say they can defy expectations again.
Dillard says his campaign has gained momentum with endorsements, including one Wednesday from the Illinois Retired Teachers Association. He's hoping some Democrats will pull Republican ballots and vote for him.
Brady says he has support of the conservative base and name recognition from his 2010 contest with Gov. Pat Quinn.
They face businessman Bruce Rauner and Treasurer Dan Rutherford.

Henry Hynoski celebrated in a fitting way after scoring his first career touchdown. The New York Giants fullback is nicknamed the "rhino," so after catching a one-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning Sunday, he did a sweet rhino impression. The Giants battered the Eagles 42-7 in the game to finish 9-7 on the season, but they were eliminated from the playoffs after the Bears beat the Lions. At least the game produced a memorable moment for Hynoski, who's typically used as a lead blocker. GIF via The Big Lead

Just bought a home with oak paneled den in desperate need of cleaning. Anyone have any rec what to use and wax it with?

- How do you clean and polish oak paneling?
to some degree it depends what you are cleaning off and how bad it is. For a heavy layer of gunk, I have been known to use Turpentine, a rag, and lots of elbow grease - then a wax job. My wife cleans professionally and likes Murphy's Oil Soap.

With only a few weeks left in you first year of college, it
is time to start thinking about your summer. While some of you probably already
have plans to take to kick back and hang out with family and friends, make sure
to use your summer wisely to get ahead and add to your experiences. Here are a
couple things you could do over the summer, while staying at home:
I recently attended the "Careers in Sports" panel at UCS, where I learned a lot about about how to get involved as an undergraduate in internships, courses, and activities that would help someone go into the sports industry.
have wanted nothing more but to work for the federal government of the United
States of America. Personally, I want to work with the communications field of
the government. Thus I came to the Federal Job Webinar, hosted by UCS on
Tuesday, March 25, to learn more about how my application to a federal position
would stand out.
So you've got an interview,
congratulations! An interview is the first step to being employed and being
employed is the first step to becoming an adult, which is debatably a good
thing. Anyway there are a large number of things you need to do before you go
to a formal interview, but here they are in four broad categories.
Congratulations. With
just five weeks left until exams, you have almost completed what is
questionably the most difficult, rewarding, and emotionally wrenching year of
your college experience. Yes, each year here
at UNC is a gift- a chance for both personal and mental exploration, a chance
to don sky blue and scream at dook, a chance to meet incredible people… both
potential lifelong friends and faces that will blur in our memory but have an
impact on our story none the less - but there is something inherently special
about your freshman year. So I encourage
you to take this moment, this last month of being the youngest Tarheels, and
reflect on how far you've come.
Midterms, papers, and
assignments – we're in the midst of it all. Between the cramming and stressing,
just remember that there's more to college than that one, cumulative number.
You know what I'm talking about – that one number that seems to define your four
years at Carolina. That's four years, 1460 days, or 35,040 hours summed up by
one single number – your GPA. How indicative is that number anyway?
As you choose housing for your sophomore year, it should hit
you… Your freshman year is almost over! This is not a bad thing, by any means.
You will now be an upperclassman and may not have to make that walk from South
Campus anymore. With this, it also means it is time to start thinking about
your future career. If you have your major decided by now, you are already
ahead of most of your classmates. If not, no worries! This just means you have
to do some more exploring.
As a second semester freshman, you probably feel like your
time here at Carolina is flying by. There is so much to do, and only so much
time in which to do it! Plus, who would want to leave Chapel Hill, between the friendships,
basketball games, and activities you've become involved in already?
As a second-semester first-year, I'm sure you've
noticed that college classes are a little different than your classes in high
school. Professors expect more engagement with the material, more personal
agency in your learning, and a higher level of thinking. Plus, outside of
class, the workload can be quite a bit heavier and time management is
absolutely essential. If you've found that navigating those changes has been a
struggle (you're definitely not alone!), then you're in luck, because I have
the perfect resource for you: UNC's Learning Center.
After a whole semester at Carolina, I'm sure you've learned
how crucial the Internet is for basically everything you do at UNC: getting
basketball tickets (or not), reading the Overheard at UNC posts on Facebook (or
contributing your own), and doing a little schoolwork in between (obviously).
To go along with this digital trend, I'm giving you five awesome websites you
should know about and use during your time at Carolina and beyond:

PLAYERS: Geno Auriemma

TEAMS: St. John's Red Storm, Marquette Golden Eagles
I'm pretty sure that UConn Huskies women's basketball head coach Geno Auriemma is glad he has Kelly Faris on his team. Because if he didn't, there's a chance that his team might have suffered it's second loss of the season. Faris came up huge late with five straight points to help UConn seize control of the game as they held on to win 71-65 over the St. John's Red Storm in front of 2,158 at Lou Carnesecca Arena in Queens, NY on Saturday afternoon. It's the 20th win of the season for the Huskies as they improve to 20-1 (7-1 Big East). The Red Storm fall to 10-10 (4-4). Remember folks, St. John's came into Gampel Pavilion last year and ended UConn's 99 game home winning streak on UConn's Senior Day. It ended a bunch of other streaks as well. The Huskies were playing shorthanded as they were without Stefanie Dolson who was battling flu-like symptoms. They also lost Brianna Banks to knee injury during the game. It was announced as ...

2013 Feherty's Season 3 Guests On Golf Channel- Lefty, Knight, Zinger, Jack and More, Plus Special Sneak Preview Inside!
- Updated: January 15, 2013
Posted 1/15/13
Updated 2/15/13
David Feherty's hit Golf Channel Original series is back in 2013 for its 3rd season on the air. Feherty's unique, innovative style of interviewing has granted the public precious access into the minds of the most recognizable names in golf and in sport alike.
This season's guests have been announced. An incredible list of legends and sports figures make appearances on Feherty's fresh slate. Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Knight, Paul Azinger, Phil Mickelson, Nick Faldo, Colin Montomerie, Tim Finchem and Jim Nantz are all expected to converse with the idiosyncratic David Feherty.
Over the past two seasons, interviews with athletes such as John Daly, Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, Tom Watson and Annika Sorenstam have controlled the attention of America's viewing public. David's openness of his own humbling past along with an irreverent sense of humor allowed the internal guards of these athletes to be subdued. The result – revealing and disarming conversations. It was must watch television.
Feherty is one of my favorites. He displays an on-camera courage I envy. He invites honesty and rebels against tradition. If his notable Irish accent and peculiar choice of facial hair isn't enough to resonate with viewers, his exposure of famous athletes and celebrities through the form of interview should be plenty.
John Daly smoked a driver from a golf ball teed up in his mouth. He shared tears with Tom Watson. He challenged Bubba Watson before his first major championship victory. Donald Trump opened up about his personal struggles. He dove deep into the unfulfilled career of Sergio Garcia. He asked the polarizing Johnny Miller a question too few people have the "nads" to ask. ("How do you think you'll be remembered, and how does that compare with how you want to be remembered?)
Feherty is great for television and even more so, great for the game of golf. Non-golfing friends of mine find themselves hypnotized by the TV during his questionnaires and the answers they evoke. The show's unorganized structure gives it a sense of reality few shows of its nature grant their audiences.
And all I know is that I am thrilled for my rump and couch to reunite in front of another Feherty interview like those….

P.S. Catch a special sneak preview of the season to come in the video below!

Why do people think we are going to make a "statement" if we hire Miles? There is a reason that a lot of LSU fans are happy that he might leave. People know that the only reason he is leaving LSU for UM is because he went here. So I don't think it's some huge "statement" by hiring him.

Well I obviously have no inside info or anything, but from what has been said on here before, there sure sounded like there were people within the program that didn't like him and his coaching style when he was brought in.
|3 years 50 weeks ago
I don't mean that EVERY fan that is critical of him is a "hater" or thinks he's "scum of the earth", but there are MANY out there that do. On talk radio, at my job, tweets from former players, media, within the program, ect... a lot of people just flat out hate him.

|I wouldn't expect him to
I wouldn't expect him to change his mind just from tonight's banquet. I'm just pissed that the majority of RR haters don't know who he really is as a person (not saying that I do) and think he is scum of the earth and not a Michigan man. Most people just believe all the negative things they read about him and don't see all of the good things that he does.
I honestly believe that he's gone. I hate like hell to say that, but I don't see any reason for DB to let this string out for a month if he was bringing him back. I think he wants Michigan players to be able to practice and play for they're coach in the bowl game because they deserve that and the same with Stanford's kids.

I love this whole thread! I can't remember the last time I read through a whole thread with nothing but positive things said about RR. I'm completely 100% ALL IN for him and this team.
I really can't understand the hatred for this guy ever since he got here. Think about it, he left his alma mater, a place he was worshiped and loved to come here and coach this team. Not for money, but because Michigan is the best football program in the country! It wasn't his fault that he didn't fully research all of our traditions and know everything about UM history right away. The media and hater fans can all go to hell!

Have you gone over to his family's website and looked at his wall of shame where he posts articles about how his teammate Denard looked really good?
Did you see how he pouted in the Iowa game last year?
Did you hear that he didn't attend the majority of off season workouts?
Did you see how he pouted today in front of everyone?
I like him, but he just seems like a "me" kind of guy and that isn't being a good teammate.

|I disagree about the wings.
I love the idea of taking the wings away from players who show up to fall camp not ready. Camp is only 3 - 4 weeks and that isn't enough time to get the players in shape and teach them the schemes and everything else that goes along with getting ready for big time football. They should show up in shape so that 100% of that time is dedicated to learning. All of these players at some point have been told that they need to work hard and be ready, but some of them just think they can show up and because of their name they will start. I'm willing to bet that Tate knew he should have done more to get ready for camp but didn't. So what is RR supposed to do to get it through their heads? He already verbally told them, so what should he do? I think taking the wings away is a good idea. And it wasn't supposed to be public, BTN outed him on that. People think we should treat these kids like babies and not hurt their feelings. Players just need to grow up and do some work.

Cutting Health Insurance CostsPosted November 23rd, 2014 by Syaiful Wakhid Surveys of self-employed individuals consistently show that one of their major concerns is the ability to buy affordable health insurance.

- So Reliable!kneesVIPDined on 11/19/2014We are regulars and always enjoy the creativity and fresh preparations. Loved the tea salad!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SobahungrymeDined on 11/17/2014Excellent service. Our waiter permitted us to convert our appetizers to entre portions so that we could use a coupon. Crab Cakes were amazing and the wine list extensive. Wines did seem a bit overpriced by the glass. Atmosphere was quiet and the restaurant design, beautiful. You must try the Pretzel Stack for dessert. 3 of us were able to split it easily and still feel satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful evening (again)MrBAKDined on 11/9/2014OK, sous chef in charge on a Sunday evening, dinner of four and you worry about a drop in quality. Not here. The food prepared wonderfully from an imaginative menu and the servings portioned well. We were there for nearly 3 hours and had shared plates a couple appetizers and each a main course. They have a great wine and cocktail menu of which we enjoyed also. Soba has never disappointed. It didn't this time. (thanks Barton, the trainee and Scott the server!)Special Features:
- Best in PittsburghDuncanDined on 11/8/2014This was my fifth visit to Soba. This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. We all had fish, and the freshness and preparation were outstanding. Also, we got great service.Special Features:
- DisappointmentZimmerDined on 11/7/2014Soba for a birthday dinner below expectations on food; Quantity, Taste, Presentation, and Menu not consistent with the rest of Big Burrito Company. We were surprised that they are part of the group.Special Features:
- Good food/drink, lackluster servicePghFoodistDined on 11/7/2014Food: Korean BBQ ribs were tender with a great sauce. Korean fried chicken was juicy and had great flavor, though the skin could have been crispier. Drink: Soba Ghost and Offer You Can't Refuse, both great. Service: The waiter was fine most of the evening. Hearing 'pumpkin', 'sweetened condensed milk,' and--the real sale--'persimmon' ice creams gave us no reason to hesitate. A few minutes later, a food runner brings out some kind of chocolate-coffee scoop, something almondy/cherry-ish, and a white, unidentifiable flavor. No pumpkin. No persimmon. Then we waited, and waited, and waited for our check--for at least 20 minutes. Making a 6PM reservation to get to our 9PM show downtown seemed safe; we barely made it.Special Features:
- Great first experienceDelishDish4meDined on 11/6/2014Loved my first experience at Soba- beautiful atmostphere. The thai hot pot was delicious, and a great size portion. Will definitely want to come back.Special Features:
- Satisfied and HappyRWojoDined on 11/6/2014SOBA did not leave us disappointed. We started off with the Rock Shrimp, A Fat Roll and the pork lettuce wraps and all three were amazing. I especially enjoyed the Rock Shrimp and Roll. I had the Miso Black Cod and that was extremely tasty as well. I recommend SOBA to anyone and will definitely be returning.Special Features:

- SOBA NEVER FAILS TO PLEASEFOODLIFE49Dined on 10/28/2014New ambience is comfortable. Food was exceptional; Eli's influence shows. Hamachi starter was perfect; fresh, very tasty; right amount of spice. Lobster roll was good but flavors a little bland. Both mains were exceptional. The Long Island duck breast was tender and flavorful but slightly overcooked, approaching medium. The confit leg was outstanding in flavor and texture. The chef needs to work on his gnocci; a little on the chewy side. Miso Black Cod was exceptional and paired well with the pulled pork and the rich sauce. Dish could use a little more bok choy to offset the very pronounced flavors of the dish. Wines by the glass have improved, Veuve Clicquot great with starters. Vouvray acidity paired well with cod.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delicious!JessDined on 10/19/2014The food was very good; the restaurant was able to accommodate our special dietary needs without a fuss. Service was outstanding - fast when we wanted attention, absent when we were absorbed in conversation, and our server made some terrific drink recommendations that delighted us both. My only disappointment was the ambiance. I'd heard really good things but we were seated in a decidedly ordinary space. It wasn't ugly, just not very delightful or impressive. I'd go back for the food and service, and request to be seated in a more awesome area if it were a special occasion!I would recommend this to a friend.

- Top qualityDonaldDined on 10/15/2014Another superb dinner outing at Soba this past week. The new sushi roll appetizer is great, we would have been happy ordering several of those for our dinner entree. The Thai seafood hot pot and black cod entrees were superbly prepared and richly flavored. This is one of the great Big Burrito dining spots that never seems to disappoint. Run don't walk to Soba for your next dinner outing.Special Features:
- Great dining!2chopstickAiaDined on 10/13/2014I've been going to Soba for years and have never once had a bad meal there. My most recent visit was no exception though the service was a bit slower than what I was looking for that night. The new remodeling of the restaurant was very pleasant and enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hubby's bday dinnerhuffmansDined on 10/8/2014The food and service were excellent but the noise level made conversation a bit of a challenge. There were larger groups seated all around us so we were literally surrounded by other conversations that just blended into noise. I have eaten here in the past and been seated in much quieter table when with a smaller group.Special Features:
- A bit disappointingFrequentCustVIPDined on 10/5/2014We have enjoyed Soba in the past for excellent food and great service. This time, we were a bit disappointed. My tuna steak was not the quality cut that I expected and not properly seared (if I wanted sushi I would have ordered it), although the side dishes were excellent. Maybe it was the fact that it was Sunday evening, but the service was also not to their high standard.
- Asian beauty with out flavorDocARDined on 10/4/2014Nicely prepared and presented, lacking in flavor. When I order curry, I expect a bit of flavor, I would expect curry to have some kick to it. I was disappointed to order curry and taste a smokey bland flavor. My table mates also thought their dishes were bland and lacked complexity of flavor. We are from out of town and perhaps accustomed to pan-asian to be prepared with authentic flare. The staff did try to accommodate when we mentioned that the food was too mild, by bringing a "hot sauce" but it could not possibly liven up the dish. We realize not all Asian dishes are spicy, but he menu should specify mild from spicy which I equate with authentic. In 30+ years of dinning in upscale restaurants, I have never had a bland curry.Special Features:
- Declining in Quality Oct 2, 2014MikiDined on 10/3/2014We have been going to Soba for over 10 years. The quality of the food has definitely declined. The portion sizes continue to decrease (an order of pork dumplings gets you 4 instead of 8). It is so dark you can barely see your food and the music they play is for 20 somethings. It is an Asian restaurant, they should play beautiful soft Asian music and turn up the lights some so you can enjoy the lovely decor. The chef must have definitely changed, the food is nowhere near what it used to be. We are very disappointed. It was our favorite restaurant. I think they are targeting a younger crowd, but young people do not spend the amount of money required to eat at Soba. Miki Fato Miki Fato

- Always a great experience...JanasMomDined on 9/26/2014Soba has become one of my daughter's favorite restaurants and I was happy to see her pick it for her 10th birthday dinner. The staff was very welcoming, helpful, and prompt. The food, as always, was wonderful. I dont know how a 10 yo, 78lb, 4'9" kid can put away an entire filet mignon, but to me, that also says a lot to the food preparation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Modern refined fusion2Big4BritchesDined on 9/22/2014The atmosphere and wait staff combine to make the experience super chill while moderately upscale. Each dish is prepared with careful attention and robust flavor. Our waiter was very knowledgable about all of the dishes and was willing to answer each question in detail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- much improvedmarciaVIPDined on 9/18/2014Since the new chef has taken over menu has become much more diversified still includes their regulars but now many more dishes prepared specially. I had a marvelous double pork chop..( keep it on menu) friends had duck ( they loved) friends loved tasting menu. We are regulars...love the improvementSpecial Features:
- Eh.businessdinerDined on 9/16/2014For the cost of the meals, the food was sub-par. Service was bad, and we rarely saw our server. When she was there she did a horrible job taking orders and making suggestions. She ended up creating confusion and almost ordered two meals for one of our business guests. Luckily they asked her to review the order first and caught the mistake. Clearly, no one had confidence in her skills. If the food was able to make up for it, I might have given a higher rating. I will not return to this venue for business dinners.
- One of the best mealsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/11/2014Found out that Soba was having a 4 course meal with wine pairing to celebrate Korean Holiday chuseok,hurried and made the reservation to go. It was one of the best meals I've had. I loved how they fusionized (?) Korean dish to make even better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Korean FeastTravelerVIPDined on 9/11/2014Every course was a delicious delight to the palate. Artistically created and paired with the perfect wine.Special Features:
- DowntownJDined on 9/11/2014Best seared Tuna in town. The tasting menus, when available, are very well done and a good value for high quality food.Special Features:
- Disappointing FoodLJubeDined on 9/9/2014I was extremely disappointed with my entree, black cod. I sent it back to the kitchen because it was not cooked to my satisfaction. The second time around was not much better. I had planned to return to soba with friends to celebrate my birthday but cancelled the reservation in light of my most recent dining experience.
