Brooklyn rapper Fabolous reflected on his career this week and revealed fellow New York hip-hop star 50 Cent offered him an opportunity to join G-Unit during the crew's prime.
According to Loso, he did not want to put his career in anyone else's hands and acknowledged making a lane all by himself.
"People always asked me why I didn't join a crew or stuff like that, I don't know if that would have changed my legacy or if I would even still be here today," Fab said when asked if there is anything he would have done differently with his rap career. "I remember at one time 50 was offering me different things to come and be a part of G-Unit and I didn't really do it because I didn't want to kind of, it was at the time where they were signing Mobb Deep, Ma$e and all of those kind of guys and I just didn't know if I wanted to be under something. I've always kind of had my own lane and everybody just respected me for what I do so that would have been a different turn and probably could have been successful, but successful for how long, you always got to think about it too." ("The Breakfast Club")
A couple years ago, fellow Brooklyn rapper Saigon admitted he missed out on an opportunity to join Fif's Unit.
Saigon's long slog in the industry, from the mixtape circuit, to Atlantic, to Suburban Noize, began in 2002, soon after 50 Cent signed to Interscope/Aftermath/Shady. Major labels immediately sniffed around for rappers with street credibility and mixtape chops to match. Saigon fit the bill, and even nearly signed with G-Unit. "I wanted to be the conscious arm of G-Unit," Sai says. A snide text message, however, ruined the relationship with 50 Cent. "It was kind of my fault. I hit [50] four times, and he ain't text me. I then said something about him feeling himself. He was like, 'Who the f*ck you think you is, n*gga?' But it was all in fun to me. I was trying to see if he was ignoring me." (XXL Mag)
In 2009, Sai hinted at an internal conflict possibly off-seting a Unit deal.
"Sha Money XL introduced me to 50 early in his career," Saigon revealed in an interview. "We sat down and chopped it up. I was actually G-Unit'ed out at one point. I was running around screaming that sh*t and all that. Like 'G-Unit n*gga!' 'cause me and Fif chopped it up…But we had a falling out, we both Cancers — so as far as us being alpha-males, it's hard to co-exist around that n*gga. A lot of times it's his way or the highway. We kinda bumped heads, early…He never attempted, I never attempted to fix it. But to see him succeed, I kinda felt like I was succeeding…That n*gga Fif was like us, he's a goon, he's in the street, he wasn't no studio gangsta n*gga. He was a real n*gga, so for him to make it outta that — seeing him make it out of that was kinda like gratification for me in a weird way…Sha Money is my manager now and Sha Money still works with Fif and if Fif ain't want that to go down, it wouldn't happened." (Rap Radar)
Fab is currently working on his long-awaited Loso's Way 2: Rise To Power album.
"I'm ready to come back. I've been off for a couple of years. I've still put out a few mixtapes, you know The S.O.U.L. Tape 1 and 2," Fab told MTV News of how he spent his time since dropping 2009's Loso's Way. "But it's time for me to get back in the game commercially and drop some radio hits. I think everybody knows Fab for those genuine radio smash records and that's where 'Ready' starts right back off, my foundation of what I do." (MTV)

I dream of so many things related to Greek mythology, and most times I like to associate my friends and I with it. I'm even writing an original story that uses some elements of Greek mythology. Please check it out some time!

With a greater understanding of your abilities and the types of rock climbing, your next step in preparing for a climb is choosing the right spot. Selecting the right rock-climbing location and the appropriate routes is crucial to having a fun and safe experience. This section will examine criteria for selecting climbing routes and locations, along with a discussion of safe approaches to climbing sites (i.e., the nuts and bolts of actually getting to your chosen spot).
Criteria for Selecting Climbing Routes and Locations
Several factors should be considered when you are deciding where to go rock climbing. First, you must determine if your abilities and preferences will enable you to have an enjoyable experience at a specific location. While some climbing locations offer various types of climbing, other locations are limited to just one. Choose a location based on your preferred type of climbing and your own climbing ability. If you are primarily a top-rope climber, you should determine if the rock-climbing location has suitable anchors at the top and is short enough for one rope to be used when halved in length. Remember, most climbing ropes are 60 meters (197 ft) in length, though some may be shorter. If you prefer to lead climb, you must ensure that the rock is suited to the protection you use and your skill level. When heading out to a new location to climb, you should always confirm the type of anchors at the top of a climb. You can do this by visual inspection, by asking experienced or knowledgeable climbers in the area, or by consulting a guidebook that covers that particular crag.
Critical Questions to Ask When Selecting a Location
- Will your belayer have to follow you up the climb?
- Can you walk to the base of the climb from the top?
- Will it be easier and safer to rappel instead of walk from the top to the base of the climb?
- Will you need two ropes to safely descend?
- Are there anchors at the top of the climbs? If so, what kind? Does this location allow the use of trees as anchors? How will you protect the tree from being harmed by the rope?
- Will you be able to lower off a climb at any given point without running out of rope?

New papal encyclical issued today.
Its first lines are notably personalistic.
Charity in truth, to which Jesus Christ bore witness by his earthly life and especially by his death and resurrection, is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity. Love — caritas — is an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace. It is a force that has its origin in God, Eternal Love and Absolute Truth. Each person finds his good by adherence to God's plan for him, in order to realize it fully: in this plan, he finds his truth, and through adherence to this truth he becomes free (cf. Jn 8:22). To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity. Charity, in fact, "rejoices in the truth" (1 Cor 13:6). All people feel the interior impulse to love authentically: love and truth never abandon them completely, because these are the vocation planted by God in the heart and mind of every human person.
Gary, Katie,
(In case there is doubt, yes, this day I am taking my mASS here.)
If I seem brusque and contentious only, take encouragement that the fairly severe word limit has sufficed! While the all+Holy-war rages (in your midst), and the inhabitants of thxx valley disincline to accept even the brandishing of weapons by the (would-be) Righteous, and while for the decidedly disrighteous all manner of wickedness and filth is tolerated so long as it is (but-seemingly-only) "outside the walls of the Kingdom" (which would be like, rather than grounding your misbehaved 16-year-old, giving said the keys to the car and a wad of cash and sternly mandating said go out with saidikewise misbehaving friends), "it is enough!"-J.
in the divine image: male AND female: each!
That symmetry and the conservation of I~am go hand-in-hand, individually, androgynically, to some balance or another. Each Person is a supernatural self-marraige of soul and spirit, the latter receptive, and Holy when Perfectly Vulnerable, the former (ideally) imposing beyond any capacity to "No!".
Primordially, the one struggles to self-ordination as many. But Finally, "the woman must encompass the man* with devotion"-Jeremiah 31:22.

Though I do not, technically, believe in "The United States of America", because the only genuinely fulfilled idea is I~am, a priori complex&plural, and because "The United States of America" maintains certain inconsistencies, blemishes, which no one can Reconcile, qua "a house divided against itself cannot stand", and thus, makes "The United States of America" something of a mass delusion, I do QUITE get that a definite error can be definitely used, and am not unwilling to wave me Star-spangled Banner; though I'll be-damn: "to do so at compulsion". There have been 43 Persons to pLAY POTUS, all male, all white.

DI, are you not making yourself, rather than the Church, the arbiter of Truth? It's easy to say the Church doesn't go far enough in granting freedom if you're not concerned with obedience to Truth. Likewise, it's easy to demand a much more authoritarian approach to enforcing doctrine, if you're not concerned with freedom. (This is what many traditionalists do, when they castigate the Pope for not cracking down.)
The Church is concerned with both freedom and truth.
I'm not sure I comprehend your phrase "arbiter of Truth": in Jesus' Most Holy Name, "I am the tRUTH"! And Howison Proves, again, "The Eternal must be a Person"!
=x="without me* [there would be no 'The Church']." Or another way, is not "the Church" making herself "the arbiter", whatever we shall reconcile of that, of Truth? Rather than The Central member of Central members and cENTRAL members???
*To be sure, as much as I enjoy the quote offerings of the DynamicBanner here, and as much as I'd be overjoyed to see Howison included, I've yet to see one from Jesus, Gospel, or Bible!!!

DI, the word limit came about after experience of the problem of long-windedness. We wanted to keep our discussions as pithy as possible, so as not to discouraged readers. It seems to work.
From my perspective, in case you care to know: I agree, It seems to work! :-) But this is a special place, to be sure. Furthermore, I wasn't inquiring about the coming about of limitation in general, but how the precise limit was chosen: 200, rather than, say 223, or 196?
About the temporariness of cut ties. Yes, we have reason to hope they'll be restored eventually,
No disrespect to hope, but I (Confidently claim to) offer (Howisonian) Reason for cONFIDENCE unto Assurance!
There is such a thing in our doctrines as hell.
Tis merely unto eternity, (and, thus, Necessarily) not forever.
If we excommunicate ourselves and refuse to recognize and repent the truth of our condition before God, and reject every chance He offers us
The infinite Living God never reaches said "every", but ever-retains stores of kindness to serve "heap burning coals on their heads".
then we cut ties forever, with Him and with everything good.
indeed, tis the tie-cutter playing "lost sheep", Dearxst.

Here is one of the comments under my article, calling the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth, "The Destroyer".
Cardinal Raymond Burke has accused Pope Francis of causing "great damage to the Church". At the Synod an Ukrainian Bishop held up to Pope Francis a copy of the Cathecism of the Catholic Church, calling upon him to study it. The Franciscans of the Immaculate who done absolutley no wrong were destroyed by permission of Pope Francis. Pope Francis suspended a Paragueyan Bishop without giving him a reason. Pope Francis in the words of Pope Benedict XVl, done the outrageous, "Summorum Pontificum has been wounded". It is no secret that Pope Francis has been leaving a swath of destruction behind him. I'm sorry to say that this article, in what concerns Pope Francis is only a fantasy. St. Francis of Assisi gave the prophecy of this Pope calling him, "The Destroyer", can't argue with that.

Freda, I wish I could console you with peace! "Don't worry, be happy!"
The Church will not fail. Don't we have Our Lord's promise that it won't? Hasn't it survived much worse crises of confusion than this? How about the 4th century, when 3/4s of the bishops were professing Arianism? How about the corrupt Popes of the Rennaisance, or the time when the faithful weren't sure whether the real Pope was in Avignon or in Rome?
And then there was the Prostestant Reformation.
And, as I said before, the reports from the Synod are not teachings of the Church; they are reports. The Synod will only conclude its discussions a year from now.
Further, look at Jesus' teaching. It wasn't always crystal clear, was it? In fact, it was often open to misinterpretation and caused much confusion, even among His closest disciples. Some found it so hard to understand that they walked away.
The teaching of the Church always has been and always will be a scandal if we approach it expecting to have own views ratified. It is meant to shake us out of our complacency and challenge us to deeper faith and deeper conversion.

DI, the word limit came about after experience of the problem of long-windedness. We wanted to keep our discussions as pithy as possible, so as not to discouraged readers. It seems to work.
Often a person will respond with two or three comments, if he needs more words to make his point. But if he really needs more than that, we encourage him to write a member post, where he can fill out his thinking without the limit.
About the temporariness of cut ties. Yes, we have reason to hope they'll be restored eventually, since "everything that rises must converge." The only problem is that not everything rises. There is such a thing in our doctrines as hell.
If we excommunicate ourselves and refuse to recognize and repent the truth of our condition before God, and reject every chance He offers us to change our minds, then we cut ties forever, with Him and with everything good.

Thanks for the kind words, Gary. I really think that this basic insight of JP II's personalism—I mean the way the master/slave hermeneutic menaces post-Eden human relations (including between the sexes) and how the gospel challenges us to replace it with self-donating love and service—is only beginning to be grasped in the Church. We all have a lot of habits to unlearn.

Thanks to Katie and all the others for their ideas and comments. I am still learning! As the father of 4 daughters and 4 granddaughters, this is very pertinent. As the oldest child from a family of 5, I know my parents expected more from me (and I resented that at times). There was no doubt, however, that I had a certain prestige and more priveleges as the top dog in the house. I like Katie's thoughts along these lines . . . a helpful piece for me to read and ponder.
Thank you.

Bruce informs Amy that he's moving to Sweden. watch
Bruce and Emma struggle to find alone time while living with her parents. Elsewhere, Bruce takes a language class and makes friends with an Iraqi immigrant and Will Ferrell, a former client of Bruce's, drops by, but Bruce senses ulterior motives behind the visit. watch
Emma defends Bruce by comparing him to her brother. watch
The NBC sitcom Welcome to Sweden couldn't get much more personal for Greg Poehler. Not only is it based on his life — he married a woman from Sweden and moved there — he also stars as, Bruce, a money manager to the stars who follows a woman to Stockholm (where much of the show was filmed). Then there's Poehler's sister, Amy, who serves as an executive producer and appears in multiple episodes.
For Thursday's big Welcome to Sweden season finale, star Greg Poehler once again enlisted his sister, Parks and Rec's Amy Poehler, to play a douched-up version of herself. In this exclusive sneak preview of the first of two back-to-back episodes, Amy berates Bruce for wanting to return to his fiancé in Sweden. (Imagine if the passion and tenacity of Leslie Knope were used for evil instead of good.)
As if Bruce (Greg Poehler) wasn't already having a tough enough time fitting in, the culture clash gets even worse when his parents visit on Welcome to Sweden.

Question: With the passing of the legendary TV talents Robin Williams and James Garner, don't you think it would be remiss if the upcoming Emmys didn't do a clips tribute to both of them? Awards shows have an unfortunate habit of dedicating chunks of time to a theme or subject that either makes no sense or ends up really boring. But these two gentlemen, who broke character boundaries and were excellent actors outside their niche personas, deserve special recognition. I just hope the producers of that upcoming show have the smarts to do something special, outside of the "In Memoriam" roll call. Your thoughts? — Karen
NBC is staying in Sweden.
Welcome to Sweden has been renewed for a second season, the network announced Monday.

A word from Lokal
This European-flecked neighborhood restaurant gets the urban vibe going with its stylish interior dressed in square tables, white molded chairs, and large canvases of modern art. The lounge area hosts guest DJs who pump up the volume when the lights go down, augmenting the retro feel. At LOKaL, lunch and dinner offer wholly different experiences, but each is worthy on its own. Brunches include: Duck Confit Benedict, Braised Pork Belly, French Omelets; while the dinner menu is more complex (showcasing the likes of NY Steak with truffle fries and apple slaw, Pork Tenderloin with potato pancake and mushroom cream or Goat Cheese Risotto with confit tomatoes, sweet peas and butternuts squash) . LOKaL is lauded for its fresh, first-rate ingredients often supplied by local farmers including Gunthrrop Farm, Nichols Farm, AquaTerra Farms and others.Continued

- Killer brunch spot! Great Service!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/16/2014Terrific brunch spot. Food was fantastic and all you can drink mimosas and bloody mary's as long as the food is on the table! Our server Christina was amazing. She had a great, bubbly personality, and kept the drinks flowing all afternoon. I'll go back for the service and the food- Lokal is a local gem!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent.thrazVIPDined on 11/15/2014Very good food, very reasonably priced. They will course as per the customer's wishes. Very gracious service too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wine, cheese and everything in betweenOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/13/2014Great specials, and food selection. Good to split starters, (truffle fries - chicken wings - steak tartar) with a group of friends. Reasonable pricesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- never again.jkizzlesDined on 11/2/2014made our reservation for 1045am for 12 people. why? because that's how many people we had and that is the time that they had available. sounded great. we got there on time with our entire party. there was no host and a bartender states that they just sat a table of 10 and a table of 13. they only have 2 tables big enough for this so there is no way that they had reservations at the same time. the bartender took our name and came back 25 minutes later to tell us it would be 15 minutes. at an all you can drink brunch spot. yeah, right. then an hour later, well over an hour after our reservation time, they come to tell us they are trying to get a table to finish and pay so we can sit. nearing 2 hours late, we finally sat. never again.
- Great Brunch Location.KizombaHickDined on 10/25/2014Despite the negative reviews - I had a GREAT experience! Our waitress was sweet and very accommodating. She explained how the bottomless mimosas worked - drinks as long as you are eating - understandable, as people would just camp out all day. The mimosas were very tasty and we ended up finishing two carafes which was plenty as I was buzzed the rest of the day. The ONLY complaint is they REALLY need to add a Vegan/Gluten Free option to the menu. My sister cannot eat eggs due to gallbladder problems. She loved the restaurant but couldn't eat too much. Its a no brainer - a tofu dish would be simple to add and tofu has a long shelf life. I really enjoyed this restaurant and would come back if they were to add just one more option.Special Features:
- Great BrunchGoodEats2Dined on 10/19/2014Great brunch place. We enjoyed the Leek Bacon and Cheddar scramble and the Pork Belly and eggs. We also had "for dessert" the Nutella Frites which was amazing! Would definitely recommend and go back! Our waiter offered use refills on our Mimosas and Bloodys with no questions...Special Features:
- Casual Night outcherylDined on 10/18/2014Our waiter was excellent as was the food. Portions were not gigantic but just right. My husband ordered the cod with curried cauliflower which was super and I had the pirogi which were even better than the home made ones my mom makes. The food & beverage prices were reasonable. The restaurant was loud but every seat was filled. We'd definitely return.Special Features:
- Great dinner experienceWindyCityWoman34Dined on 10/11/2014I decided to try out Lokal for the first time as a place to take a friend for their birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. We had the steak tartar for an appetizer and it was delicious. For our main meals, I ordered the goat cheese risotto and my friend had the seafood pasta. We both really enjoyed our dishes (he cleaned his plate while I had plenty left over to take home). Our waiter was very helpful in terms of recommending drinks and dishes, and he gave us just the right amount of attention. I will definitely be going back there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food on a very busy day!KGeatsChicagoDined on 9/14/2014I went after the Bucktown 5k with a group of six. We were early and were able to seated about 30 mins early than out reservation. The hostess/server was very accommodating. The food was a hot with our group but by the end the service was a bit forgetful. I would try it again - it seems that was an off day with the crowds form the race.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014service was slow, but expected for a busy brunch. HOWEVER, when one in our group tried to order another drink and after a half hour asked where her drink was..... the 'manager'? who came over (wasnt the server/bartender/or kitchen staff that had helped us prior..... came over being rude and had a ridiculously snarky tone while apologizing because OBVIOUSLY THEY WEREN'T BUSY AT ALL. we were very polite and understanding while we waited almost a half hour for our food, and when one of the orders were wrong and we waited another 15 minutes for the correct dish to come out. it ruined the vibe for our group. other than the rude guy, everything else was greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for brunch!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Love the bottomless mimosa & nutella frites! Good food and good music!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunch!SarahDined on 8/16/2014Came with two friends for a late brunch on Saturday. The service was slow at first, but once our server came over to take our order, she couldn't have been nicer. The food was really good - highlight for me was the truffle fries we shared for the table! Bottomless brunch drinks are a really good deal -- nice, strong mimosas and bloody Marys, can't beat the price. I'll definitely be back!Special Features:
- Bottomless Mimosas & Breakfast FoodOccasionalDinerDined on 8/9/2014This is a nice restaurant for brunch. The food is good and they have bottomless mimosa and Bloody Mary's as along as you are eating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 38 reviews are from the Lokal reviews archive.
- Outstanding ServiceKatieADined on 7/20/2014They were totally slammed but took great care of us. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It was a little hard to hear my tablemates because the restaurant was so loud, but those bottomless mimosas can't be beat!Special Features:
- Stay awayEjisimsDined on 7/20/2014My girlfriend and I went for Sunday brunch and got bottomless mimosas and had to keep asking if they were bottomless because no one would fill our drinks up. The servers seemed extremely lost and confused about any way to run a restaurant. Also, it was so incredibly loud in there that We had to tell at eachother during the entire meal and when we left, we both had massive headaches. I ALWAYS tip at least 15%, but this was the first time in my life I left absolutely no tip. We also waited an extra 25 minutes for our check when we were trying to leave for a meeting. Rude, careless, ignorant service has reached an all time high at Lokal. I feel bad for the older floor manager lady that was there helping customers. She was the only one trying.
- Arrive TogetherOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/19/2014Their policy is to wait to seat a party until everyone is at the restaurant. A good policy and equitably enforced, but may make dining difficult for larger parties. Best to have everyone arrive together.Special Features:
- Hidden gemLichterDined on 7/12/2014I have been to Lokal a few times and keep coming back for the great food. I will admit that it doesn't look like much based on the outside, lack of design, and odd bathrooms but the food is delicious and the service is typically pretty solid.Special Features:
- long wait for foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/3/2014We waited over 2 hours for our food on a Thursday night. Our waiter informed us that they only have one cook on Thursdays - it wasn't busy when we got there - it did fill up a bit but it wasn't crazy. Our waiter gave us whiskey shots due to the wait, comped a bottled of wine (per our request) and gave us a discount on the bill. The food was great but I was a bit too tipsy to drink it...doubt I'll be back.Special Features:
- Ignored and forgottenFudi86Dined on 6/8/2014From the moment we got sat we waited 5 min just to get glasses for the pitcher of water that was in front of us. This set the pace for the entire dining experience. I should have known then that we were going to be given terrible service. Being someone that works in this industry it hurts me to spot out all the these things that went wrong. The server was not knowledgeable of the menu when he was told of an allergy at the table. There were moments of 5-8 mins that our drinks were empty without being asked for a refreshment. The food for our party was dropped a plate at a time with increments of time getting longer between drop. Starting with 3 min up to 12 min. No acknowledgement from the server/manager till I spoke of the issue to the host
- Bottomless bruchmavilasDined on 6/1/2014The Bottomless mimosa is only $7! I had the Duck Confit Benedict and it was delicious. My friends and I shared bites of our meal and all of there choices were equaling good: Steak & Eggs, Grilled Chicken Breast sandwich. The pricing was acceptable for the quality of food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite brunch spotZzzzDined on 5/31/2014I've been to Lokal a handful of times and I have loved every experience so far. The bottomless mimosas are an excellent price and the food is delicious. Each time I try to get something different and I haven't been disappointed yet. They add a yummy twist to everything. Each time someone visits me in Chicago and we plan to go to brunch I take them to Lokal and they also have great things to say.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blaring 90s music at brunch? Sure.MorganVIPDined on 5/18/2014The food and service was pretty good. It's located in a great area and close to the L. This is the place for you if you're an 80s child that loves 90s music :) it's like your at a club while eating brunch! Fun atmosphere. Bottomless mimosas etc during brunch :)Special Features:
- Good Brunchhut52Dined on 5/18/2014Good place for a different brunch menu. I had the scallop benedict and it was really good. Also, good for the bottomless mimosas.Special Features:
- Sunday brunchNataliejuneDined on 5/18/2014When my party of three and I first arrived there was a lot of confusion near the front due to an absence of a host. We were seated, but had to request our table to be wiped down. We were a caraf in to the bottomless mimosas until our waitress took our order. I had asked for no muffin due to a gluten allergy. However, I was served a muffin and my friends breakfast was forgotten all together. When it was finally brought to him it was not the correct order and had to be returned. The food is delicious, but either more or better staffing is needed. I love the restaurant and will come back. It was just an unfortunate experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best brunch around!ColeDined on 5/17/2014Went for brunch with a group of 8. Was concerned about service and what not with such a big group. But that wasn't the case at all. We got seated on time and our server was great! Food was amazing and the bottomless mimosas were a hit! Will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TastydredreDined on 5/11/2014We went here for Mother's Day based on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint! The portion sizes were great and everything was fresh and tasty! They have in limited blood Mary's and mimosas for $10, be warned.... The bloody Mary's are a little spicy but have a nice smoky flavor to them. I would recommend this place and I personally will make the trip from the burbs to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fit for a MotherBirthdayManDined on 5/11/2014My mother had a great time. That is all that matters to me today. Thank you for helping me make a special morning for her.Special Features:
- MarieDined on 5/3/2014Very good food but the portions were quite small. The menu is very reasonable, but some items (like the ahit tuna burger and portabello sandwich) definitely need side dishes. The service was quite slow, taking a long time on simple drinks and not bringing all drinks at once. The kitchen however was very prompt with our food, which was delicious. The daily specials also seem to be very good.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/26/2014Loved the brunch! Fantastic sandwich and unbeatable prices on the mimosa deal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food, HospitalityreunionDined on 4/12/2014Came with a party of six women with disparate tastes in food and alcohol. Found incredible dishes and drinks for everyone. Because of the amazing service and spot on recommendations, everyone managed to try something new - and love it! We woke up talking about the food the next day - particularly the pork tenderloin with bacon maple potatoes, the goat cheese risotto and the butternut squash pierogies. Loved the Ginsky and Imbir. I'm a gin and wine woman, but left with a new appreciation for vodka. Looking forward to trying other creative cocktails.Special Features:
- I thought the restaurant wasOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 4/6/2014I thought the restaurant was very loud for such a small space. They also seem unprepared for the day - no cream for coffee and no celery for the never ending bloody Mary's.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall our first experienceChrisDined on 3/16/2014Overall our first experience was not great. The food was good but our service was not. We got bottomless mimosas and had to keep prompting and repromptimg for refills. We also had to ask for the check 4 times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday Night Dinner SpecialLichterDined on 3/8/2014I was referred to Lokal by a friend and took a date there on a Saturday night. Lokal has a Saturday night date special that is one app, two entrees, and a dessert for $39 as of this writing. Everything worked out well there and the two entrees (salmon burger and sirloin) were both excellent. Our dessert was the low point of the meal with rock hard frozen strawberries in a mousse. The server seemed busy (I think he was making us our drinks as well as serving food) but he was attentive when he was around. The noise level was a bit high but we were able to hold a conversation just fine. I would go back to Lokal to try out other items on their menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best around…..ChrisseyBabeDined on 3/1/2014Awesome restaurant. Great date night atmosphere with delicious comfort food just like my mother used to make. Service was outstanding, too. My husband and I were very pleased and will visit again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't bother making a reservationOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 3/1/2014Came in for brunch with a reservation for a large group - they would not seat us until our entire party arrived even though we assured them our tardy guests were on their way (and come they did!). There was nobody else waiting to be seated and there were only two empty tables large enough for our party, so I don't understand why they wouldn't seat us -- would they have given up the table we reserved had a similarly large party walked in without a reservation? Why make a reservation anyway?
- Good food, bad serviceCms33Dined on 2/23/2014I went to Lokal for brunch with a friend. We both ordered the salmon Benedict and shared the French toast. All slices of the French toast weren't cooked through but I enjoyed the Benedict so I didn't send the FT back. My issue came with the wait staff. For the last 30 minutes of our meal, 3 different wait staff opened and closed the windows next to us. We sat next to the window so it was really hot with the sun beaming in. We politely asked twice to keep one window open. The 1st waiter said it was fine so long as the others were closed. The 2nd waiter said no and closed that window but opened another. Then the 3rd waiter came over and rudely told us that another customer's complaint was more important than our preference. Won't be returning
- I came here for brunch onOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/16/2014I came here for brunch on a Sunday. The brunch food menu was really good. However, it is a small place, I felt rushed to leave my table soon because they were starting to get a lot of groups wanting to do brunch. The $7 bottomless mimosa was so not worth it. Ive been to places where they keep them coming without asking so I was highly dissappointed.Special Features:
- Delightful DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/15/2014We went to Lokal on a Saturday night at 6pm - table of 10! It was our first time there and it was fun. The menu is small - but everything on it is unique - we had fish and chips, burgers, pasta - and much more. Everyone cleaned their plates! The waitress was excellent, attentive and funny too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Would definitely return for brunchShaneDined on 2/9/2014girlfriend and I made an 11:30 reservation the morning of and good thing we did. They were on an hour wait when we arrived. We waited only 10 minutes before we were sat. The $7 mimosas and $9 bloodies are an AWESOME deal, and they come with ample alcohol. Love that they bring a mini carafe of mimosas to the table when you order so you can refill at your leisure. Bloodies are pretty tall and I'd be shocked if you could down more than 2 in one sitting. Food was great. I had the pork belly and poached egg dish, YUM. The pork belly wasn't overdressed or seasoned, it had a nice charred/BBQ-ish flavor that was succulent and tender. Couldn't get enough of that. Only qualm was that food actually came out TOO fast, leaving little time to relaxSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great restaurant!FoodieDoodieDined on 2/1/2014Thank you opentable for recommending this restaurant. Great food, great drinks, attentive waitstaff. We will be back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Taking Up the Cross:
Holy Thursday: April 9, 2009
by Kendra Dunbar
Peter, like so many of us, was trying to remain cautiously faithful. He wanted to protect Christ, he did not want him to be humiliated and killed. Often we want to stop moving forward and come up with a safe plan, risk the least, and be happy with the results.
However, Jesus makes it clear that Peter must not stand in the way. "Get behind me, Satan." In following Jesus, there is no promise of safety or bodily comfort. To follow Jesus means giving one's life for the gospel.
For me, the gospel is about liberation and redemption, salvation and justice. The gospel compels us to live righteously--in right relation. As a black woman growing up in the United States of America, my cross is part of the black-freedom tradition.
It is born out of the crosses of those who came before me: Ida B. Wells, Marcus Garvey, Soujurner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Stokely Carmichael. These names stir within and help me connect with the divine in Scripture.
Nikki Giovanni wrote a poem called "The Funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr." that illuminates some of what it means for me to pick up my cross. (The complete poem can be found in The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni, HarperCollins, 2007.)
One can find freedom in death, but what happens to ourselves, our communities, and our commitment to live for the gospel? It is my cross to carve out a space, to redefine what it means to be free, on earth as it is in heaven.
I invite all of you to find a poem that speaks to you personally. Think about your cross--not the cross you want to carry, but the cross that connects you with the divine. This is probably the last cross you want on your hands, the most inconvenient of crosses.
How does it feel to carry it? How does it relate to your community? What is its meaning for the communities of the world? How do you live it? How don't you live it?
My cross is to fight for a church that can be in right relation with all communities. My cross is to work with young people so alienated and pushed out that hope is a slogan, an unrealized dream, but never a state of being. My cross is to help create a world where Martin Luther King, Jr., could have lived and preached nonviolence.

A Lowndes County jury has found a Columbus man guilty of two counts of aggravated assault stemming from a 2012 shooting that left one man blind and another injured.
Joel Dudley Jones, 23, of 413 Springdale Dr., was found guilty Friday in Lowndes County Circuit Court. He was found not guilty of intimidating a witness.
The charges stemmed from a June 2012 shotgun shooting on Ash Street. Two men, Tamarcus Thomas and Zachariah Johnson, were injured in the incident. Johnson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and is blind as a result.
Jones, who is represented by William Starks, will be sentenced Monday by Judge Jim Kitchens. He faces up to 40 years in prison.

After strike worries, a smooth first day of school in Seattle
Despite earlier uncertainty about whether school would begin in Seattle on Wednesday, the start of classes seemed to go well.
Seattle Times education reporter
Parents, students and teachers in Seattle may not have known until Tuesday night whether school would start Wednesday morning, but classes seemed to get under way without a hitch across the city — including at Muir Elementary, where Superintendent José Banda was on hand to visit a new art program.
The South Seattle school had held an open house Tuesday afternoon, just before the city's teachers met downtown to decide whether to accept a tentative agreement for a new two-year contract. Parents and children went home still wondering if there would be a strike.
Most families made backup plans, but a few banked on an agreement being approved.
When the call from the school district finally came, saying teachers had approved the new contract, they were relieved, happy to ditch the contingencies.
"We were hoping this was going to happen," said Mark Fadool, who has a second-grader at Muir.
Many children also were glad to don their backpacks and head off to meet their new classmates and teachers.
Jinnah Davis, an incoming fourth-grader, smiled broadly as his mother, Cassie Chappell, said Jinnah and his sister, Sophia, really wanted school to start.
As they walked onto the playground, each child carried a ream of copy paper, a contribution toward classroom supplies.
Mariah Griffin, in the hallway outside her new fourth-grade classroom, said she would have been sad if classes had not begun because "school is fun."
As 8:45 a.m. arrived, students lined up on the playground behind their new teachers, then filed quietly into the building class by class. Parents trailed behind, with cameras and encouragement.
By 9:20 a.m., Muir principal Awnie Thompson went on the P.A. system to gently encourage parents to move out of the hallways into the library, where the PTA offered first-day coffee and cookies — or leave. In the classrooms, students were already at work.
The only students not in class at Muir were the kindergartners. Because Muir will offer state-funded, full-day kindergarten this year, Thompson said, the kindergarten teachers must spend the first few days of school meeting individually with each incoming family.
The biggest problem at Muir on opening morning was the bells. They had not been adjusted for the school-year schedule, so they rang at the wrong times. Thompson said school staff would ring them manually instead.
"If that's as bad as it gets," she said, "we're good."

Honor Guard seeks funds for uniforms
Date: September 9, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — Joe Griffith knows well the dangers first-responders face every day at work as well as the sacrifices they make — sometimes with their own lives.
And he and a team of volunteers are on mission to make sure their efforts are not overlooked, especially in death.
Griffith is president of the Manatee County Honor Guard, an all-volunteer group that provides its services at funerals of fallen or retired first-responders. Guard members carry the casket from the funeral home and the church to the cemetery. The also stand watch during wakes and viewings and fold the national flag for presentation to the family by the department's chief.
"We want to show respect for the people who came before us," Griffith said. "It's the least we can do to show respect for their families. We are there to show respect to the people who have passed away."
Other responsibilities include posting colors at ceremonies such as parades, academy graduations, city events and sporting events.
Now, the guard is seeking donations to purchase matching uniforms for all members. Presently, volunteers wear their "Class A" uniforms, which include black jackets, caps and dress pants. Although they look similar, each uniform is unique to the fire district it represents, and various badges and stripes signify rank.
The dress uniform is intended to be a symbol of respect, honor and dedication of all first responders, both past and present, Griffith said. Having matching uniforms, which will look similar to the formal dress of the U.S. Marines, will mirror that idea.
"Honor shows no rank and respect is universal," Griffith said.
Each uniform will cost members about $750; currently the guard is more than halfway through its $17,000 goal.
Matching uniforms also will help the organization succeed in future honor guard competitions, Griffith said.
The guard, which currently is applying for non-profit status, formed in October 2008. Manatee County EMS already had an honor guard, but after the Sept. 11 ceremonies that year, several firefighters expressed interest in forming their own honor guard unit.
Instead, fire department employees from Southern Manatee, Myakka, the city of Bradenton and East Manatee fire districts joined the EMS group to form the Manatee County Honor Guard.
"We all just merged together," Griffith said.
The group's commander, Ron Dorsey, provided the new volunteers with a weeklong training, and the organization has been gaining momentum since.
In its first year, the group has appeared at five Rays games, posted colors for promotion ceremonies within fire departments and carried caskets at three funerals. Griffith said he hopes to raise more awareness about the group and its purpose.
The Manatee County Honor Guard will be participating in the 9 a.m., Sept. 11, Memorial Service at Anthony T. Rossi Waterfront Park in Bradenton and the Tribute to Heroes luncheon following at 11:30 a.m. at the Bradenton Municipal Auditorium.
The guard also will be competing in the First Annual Manatee County Emergency Services Chili Cook Off from 3-10 p.m., Sept. 12, on Lakewood Ranch Main Street.
For more information about the Manatee County Honor Guard or to make a donation, visit the organization's Web site at www.manateecountyhonorguard.org.

East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies say Michael DiNardo, the son of former LSU football coach Gerry DiNardo, faces felony drug and firearm charges.
The Advocate reports Michael DiNardo, a 21-year-old student at LSU, was booked Wednesday with intent to distribute marijuana and possessing a firearm with drugs. He was also booked with possession of drug paraphernalia.
Deputies say a package, smelling of marijuana, at the Bennington Avenue post office sparked an investigation and led to the arrest of Michael DiNardo.
Authorities executed a search warrant at DiNardo's address. An arrest affidavit says officers uncovered several plastic bags of marijuana, a scale and two firearms. One of the firearms was an AK-47.
It was unclear whether Michael DiNardo has an attorney.

(bbl) seen in late 1998 and early 1999, to the low to middle $30s at their highs during fall 2000. In reality, however, the oil price increase at its most recent peak was still no higher than the increase in nominal (i.e., not deflated) terms experienced after the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war in the fall of 1980. (And in deflated terms, the recent highs in crude oil prices were well below this earlier peak, although close to the fly-up following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in August 1990.)
By contrast, natural gas markets hold potentially wider ramifications. Gas supply and price disruptions affect not only gas users, but may delay urgently needed additions to electric generating capacity, for which gas-fired turbine systems are the only practical option, for economic and environmental reasons.
At Henry Hub, La., cash market prices for natural gas increased from roughly $2.50 per million Btu during mid-September to mid-October 1999, to more than $5.00 per million Btu during mid-September to mid-October 2000. The partially deregulated electricity market is also in turmoil, with firm on-peak wholesale prices remaining well above $100 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in a number of U.S. regions during the past three summers and reaching astronomical levels in some markets, such as Southern California. This development has precipitated controversial price caps in the $250 to $1,000 per megawatt-hour range by the new, federally regulated regional transmission organizations to protect consumers.
Overall, the gas industry must develop the infrastructure (including pipelines, storage, and new drilling technology) to serve what is likely to be a 25 percent to 30 percent increase of gas consumption just for power generation over the next 15 to 20 years. Nevertheless, in spite of the current supply and price problems, this growing reliance on natural gas is fully justified. Natural gas resources in the lower 48 states are more than adequate to make it the logical transition fuel to a sustainable energy system over the next 50 years or so, as long as policymakers will focus on the real energy problem.
The Oil Situation
The U.S. economy and individual consumers have had ample time to adjust to oil price fluctuations within the recent range. Nevertheless, we must expect continued volatility caused in part by OPEC actions.
In addition, there is the continuing threat of irrational action by Iraq, including cuts in its 2.5 million to 3.0 million bbl per day of production, or even renewed hostile actions against Kuwait. The current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and, possibly, also Lebanon and Syria, adds another potentially destabilizing factor-one that would have much more serious consequences than in the past. The reason is that spare productive capacity margins (except for the leading producer, Saudi Arabia) are low. A major influx of capital is needed to meet world demand, which has now risen to 68 million bbl per day of crude oil and 77 million bbl per day of total liquid fuels (including natural gas liquids, processing gains, and various additives).
By contrast, one positive element may develop from the slow recovery of
