Paula Abdul: JT Torregiani is a Good Guyby Mischalova at . Comments
Paula Abdul is known for doling out the highest of praise to the lowliest of contestants on American Idol.
So we're not sure how her new boyfriend, JT Torregiani, should feel after Paula simply referred to him as a "good guy." That's all she could muster?
On this morning's Today show, host Matt Lauer teased the Hey Paula and American Idol star that she once compared her romantic life to "a horror movie." He then asked if she were currently dating.
The response, People magazine posted? Abdul replied that things were "looking upwards â€" things are looking good right now."
As she was being cagey on any details, Abdul was confronted on air with a photograph of her and Torregiani at this week's New York premiere of Hairspray (starring young hottie Zac Efron).
Lauer then asked if her movie date was the reason for her happiness.
Abdul answered in the affirmative, saying her beau "is a good guy."
In June, Abdul celebrated turning 45 with a scavenger hunt and birthday bash â€" attended by friends and former American Idol contestants Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis â€" at Torregiani's West Hollywood eatery Ketchup, where he spent the entire night by her side.
Simon Cowell, we're guessing, calls the pairing "revolting" and "pathetic." Meanwhile, Randy Jackson says Torregiani is simply his "dawg."
It's interesting when you think about Paula Abdul making a comeback and still having a career at 46 and she still looks great. Jennifer lopez is a chubby washed up has been at 39.
ok i really hate JT!!! i am really.....i don't.........well if she is really in love this guy i let it slide!!! whatever!!
i think that man honestly loves her thats why he is dating her..... not 4 her money!!!!
JT loves her!!! i'm happy for her...she's awesome...and she seems very happy now...i love her...and i think they'll go far... :)
I think JT is just in it for her money. I think that is the only reson why he is dating her. I am also jelous as well.

Pliant's SSDs are awesome, says Pliant
Solid state drive startup Pliant has announced a benchmark saying its SSDs rock - as it said back in September. Why is it bothering to tell us? The benchmark is from an independent tester, Oakgate Technology, but it was presumably paid for by Pliant. It claims 16 Pliant 300GB LS 300S SSDS delivered 1.1 million IOPS "with a read/ …
"Multiply that by 16, and you get 2,880,000 IOPS which is 500,000 less than the 2.3 million predicted by Oakgate"
It's 500,000 *more* last time I checked...
Pliant SSD performance claims
Pliant has been claiming 180,000 IOPS per SSD in -- MIXED -- workload scenarios.
Some comments...
1) 68,000 IOPS (1.1m divided by 16 ssds) is less than 40% of claimed performance. Still -- seems like a good number, except....
2) ...according to the video, this number was "achieved" by setting queue-depth at 64 outstanding IOs per drive!!
This is a ridiculous queue-depth number that would never be seen in real world applications...never never ever.
Real-world applications are RARELY able to generate more than even 6 or so outstanding requests at any given target, and the average is only 4. The idea that there are 1024 I/Os queued up in this system (64*16) is utterly ludicrous. Likewise the Pliant/Oakgate benchmark result is pure fantasy.
Back in 2008, Pliant slammed a competitor based on their published SPC-1 benchmark performance -- claiming that their SSD would cost 1/4 or less in terms of $/IOP.
So...I wonder why Pliant didn't go the SPC-1 route? All they need to do is show about $0.25 per IOP on SPC-1 to match their previous performance claims and settle the matter.
Should be easy right?
less is more, right?
!(2880000 < 2300000)
"Multiply that by 16, and you get 2,880,000 IOPS which is 500,000 less than the 2.3 million predicted by Oakgate."
What the hell? Pliant?! They really couldn't come up with something better than a name jumping on a ten-year-old bandwagon?

A TEENAGE daredevil has caused yet another stir by scaling an iconic building.
Jack Bellis, 17, from Wrexham, subsequently uploaded a video on YouTube, which shows him scaling Chester Cathedral.
The footage reveals the fearless youngster using scaffolding at the 120ft-tall cathedral to reach the top.
And this is not the first time Jack's eccentric hobby has caught the eye.
He gained local and national notoriety in September last year when he scaled the Foryd Bridge in Rhyl, saying he had climbed the structure to take in the view.
The 17-year-old is part of the 'Parkour Movement' which is derived from a holistic training discipline, using movement developed from military obstacle course training.
Jack has jumped from rooftops, scaled road bridges, somersaulted off furniture and climb road bridges.
In May, Jack created a video to demonstrate his 'free-running' skills to create further awareness of the activity.
Speaking to the Leader, Jack defended his decision to scale the Chester landmark on Tuesday.
He said: "The video wasn't really all that planned if I'm honest.
"I'd been collecting clips from my Gopro camera from some of the climbs I've been doing for a while, but with having so much footage I found a song which I thought would fit and edited them together.
"I did enjoy making the video. It's one of the things that does come with Parkour really – knowing how to film and edit a video together.
"I would do it again. I don't have any climbs or footage I have planned to film, as most of the stuff is just filmed at the time but with it being summer now I'm sure I'll film quite a bit."
Jack's latest footage has met with positive reviews online, with one poster, James Dickson, saying "awesome dude, great stuff" and Ash Evsy adding "I enjoyed that. Some nice looking spots in there too".
The footage of Jack scaling the cathedral can be found on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os8zAgG8Wlc

Water fountain covers are the perfect solution to protecting your outdoor tiered water fountains or garden statuary during cold winters. All outdoor fountains and statuary should be covered or brought indoors to warmer temperatures during freezing weather to protect your fountain from weathering and cracking. This outdoor fountain cover is available in 5 sizes and there is a drawstring at the bottom for a snug fit around your fountain. These fountain covers work great for stone and lightweight outdoor fountains and any other stone or fiberglass garden statuary you have. Perfect cover for a tiered fountain. If you are looking for a cover for a non-tiered fountain or more of a square or round cover click here.
See Specs tab for cover dimensions. Keep in mind, if you have a tiered fountain you can take the top tiers off and place them inside the larger bowl, so you don't need such a tall cover. Base your size on width.
Read more about winterizing your outdoor fountains.
Edward Ross - excellent service. I would highly recommend. Response time from order to my door was less then three days
Lisa A - The fountain cover we ordered is the perfect size for our fountain and is quite durable. Able to withstand our crazy Oklahoma weather.

The Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA in Saukville won't be auctioned next week but instead will remain a YMCA. No qualified bidders registered with the bankruptcy court by Monday's deadline, resulting in the cancellation of a planned Sept. 29 auction of the Feith YMCA. The bankruptcy court is expected to approve the Kettle Moraine YMCA's $2 million offer for the Saukville facility on Tuesday, Sept. 30, and set a closing date for the purchase. "We are extremely excited," said Rob Johnson, executive director of the Kettle Moraine YMCA in West Bend. "We're pretty ecstatic. This was the first hurdle we had to jump. Not having to go to auction is a tremendous relief." Johnson said he was surprised no one else registered as a bidder with the court, something YMCA officials feared would start a bidding war that could result in a private fitness facility buying the Saukville Y. "We heard so many rumors of adult-oriented fitness facilities that had expressed interest," he said.

SYLVANIA, OH - JULY 05: Shanshan Feng of China watches her tee shot to the second green during the final round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic at Highland Meadows Golf Club on July 5, 2009 in Sylvania, Ohio. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
China's Shanshan Feng beat the wind on Saturday to take the lead and now has a good chance of beating everyone else in the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Feng, who last year became the first Chinese player to win an LPGA Tour title and a major event in capturing the LPGA Championship, shot a marvelous 4-under 67 before the wind picked up and grabbed a three-shot lead heading into the final round. The round matched the day's best and gave the eighth-ranked Feng a 6-under 136 total. ''Right now I'm in good position this week, and if I can have some good results this week, it's definitely going to give me more confidence for next week,'' said Feng, referring to her defense of the LPGA championship. The wind was mild in the morning when Feng played and then gusted in the afternoon, leaving players second-guessing club selection and battling inconsistent greens, some of which dried out and didn't hold shots and others that were strangely receptive.

A light-hearted discussion of one of the fallacies underlying the analysis of the Turner report, by Terry Arthur, can be downloaded below. The IEA's most recent monograph on pensions
The Way Out of the Pensions Quagmire [2] by Professor Philip Booth and Dr Deborah Cooper was published earlier this year. Like Turner it proposed an increase in the state pension retirement age (but to 70) and an increase in the basic state pension. It also proposed that individuals could contract out of the basic state pension and make their own private arrangements and that the state second pension should be abolished.
Neil Record published a paper for the IEA on the burden of public sector workers' pensions, an issue not covered by the Turner report,

Steak house in DC to rival (nearly) those in NYC
My boyfriend's brother, who lives in NYC, is coming into town this weekend to catch an exhibit at the Portrait Gallery. He's passionate about a good steak and - having lived previously in Chicago - has arguably been around and in some of the better steakhouses. We're trying to figure out a place to go in DC that doesn't necessarily need to "wow" but will leave him happily sated. Is BLT Steak here any good? Other ideas for a sublime steak dinner?
Ray's the Steaks in Arlington is my favorite. Getting a table could be a problem. When I used to work a couple of blocks away, I would walk over in the afternoon to put my name on the list.
re: rappel75
Definitely Ray's. Arrive by 5 p.m. hungry.
re: stever500
5th Rays and don't think it is rushed or rundown, just busy and minimalist, if he wants exquisite pampering not for him, if he wants the best steak in DC is for him, and happens to be in a stripmall with some awesome eats, not just a stripmall.
If cheap, loud, crowded and rushed in a rundown Arlington, VA strip mall is what you are looking for, then Rays the Steak is perfect.
If civilized dining is more to your liking, I recommend The Prime Rib for ambiance, and Capital Grill at 6th and Penn for food and Capital Hill proximity. Neither are as good as New York's best, but your guest will be very content.
BLT, Charlie Palmer and Bobby Van's are all terrible.
Rays is the place for a good steak, no frills. For a fancy steakhouse I would choose (in order) The Prime Rib, The Palm, Capital Grille & Charlie Palmer over BLT. Men need a jacket and tie at The Prime Rib. Even tho NYC has two Palms and a Capital Grill, the DC branches have a uniquely DC vibe.
am i the last person on earth to have Ruth Chris in her top 5?? We even saw Emeril happily dining at the one in Fairfax last weekend, so i KNOW it can't be that bad! :) Their service is fantastic, beautiful dining area, nice wine menu... yes it's pricey but that's why we only go once or twice a year.
I still need to get to RTS b/c i do hear that their steaks ARE superior, and i am as much about the meat as I am the atmosphere, and would certainly sacrifice the latter if the former is as fantastic as everyone says RTS is.
re: Aphioni
If you go on a nice day, buy a bottle of wine and wait in the patio outside before dinner. Makes the dinner wait fun.
And yes, it is just a hall with some tables but the food is amazing. I highly recommend getting the scallops appetizer. We had the Chateaubriand last time and it was excellent.
re: Aphioni
Q: "am i the last person on earth to have Ruth Chris in her top 5??"
A: Yes.
re: Aphioni
I think Ruth is excellent (not as good as Ray's though). Perhaps it loses its appeal to some due to the fact it is a chain.
re: Aphioni
There are 10 steakhouses just in Tysons (listed in link). You should try them all (exceptt maybe JR Stockyard and Chima) and decide for yourself whether they're good or not. Ruth's Chris is good but I still prefer Rays.
re: Aphioni
You probably really like the butter... I don't like it for that reason, but if you like the butter than I can see how it would be up there, I mean butter is good.
re: ktmoomau
you are right- i DO like the butter. i'm a nebraskan: beef, butter, cheese and potatoes- i should be from Wiscinsin! lol but i love the flavor, and the fork tender cuts we can count on there. i am into the atmosphere as well, but will clear a midweek night for RTS in the very near future...
re: Aphioni
Hahahha well you really should try Ray's but if you like the butter than Ruth Chris is your place. As a southern girl I should like butter on and in anything really, but I grew up on a beef farm learning good beef didn't need anything, except maybe cooked, just a lil. I have weened myself off so much butter in stuff, plus after growing up eating real homemade butter it is easier not to eat the stuff around here.
If you like the butter maybe try the Ray's steak with one of the sauces, I forget the ones name that I really like, but it is a cream sauce with cognac or brandy I think. It is all about what you enjoy so if butter is what you prefer hey go for it, more room at Rays for me ;) ;)
re: ktmoomau
i don't know that i PREFER it so much as enjoy it. i can appreciate a good piece of beef with no frills or sauce as well- i guess i just haven't HAD that yet in this area. but soon...soon! i do enjoy the sauce you are talking about- likely au poivre made with brandy...? but i will try a naked steak to see if it meets/exceeds the Omaha standards on goood beef! :)
re: Aphioni
I can't wait for your report, you have to report back here. Rays is my favorite steak, and my Fiance thinks that is a big deal coming from a beef farm girl, but we never got to keep the good cuts of meat, I got those when we went out, and since I had so much beef at home, I often didn't get it out. I haven't eaten it at some of the really big name places, so I don't think I have the most credible opinion on beef, but he seems to think so, which is sweet. But let me know how it compares to Omaha standards. Yeah I think it is an au poivre made with brandy, it's good. All this talk is making me hungry for steak...
re: Aphioni
You're not alone. Washingtonian readers rated:
Best Steakhouse
1. Ray's the Steaks, Arlington. There's a line outside this bare-bones dining room for a reason. Two words: hanger steak.
2. Tie: Ruth's Chris Steak House (three area locations) and Morton's (six). Both chains offer manly portions and professional service.
3. Charlie Palmer Steak, Capitol Hill. A lobbyist favorite that's popular for more than just Angus and Wagyu.
re: Aphioni
i like R.C. ok. I'm not a huge red meat fan as i said below but have found their filets to be quite tasty. i like the salads, sides & wine too.
re: jaydreb
true but they're not unique to DC and the food isn't comparable to high end steakhouses.
re: Ericandblueboy
True, but a lot of the other places being mentioned (Palm, BLT, Capital Grille, Ruth's Chris) aren't unique to DC either.
re: jaydreb
cause we're wondering off the original topic. :)
re: Ericandblueboy
Yep. If the criteria is strictly (1) unique to DC and (2) top steakhouse quality food, then I think the only answer is Rays. (Perhaps Cap Grille as well since it's kind of a DC institution.)
i like Capital Grill for the trifecta -- really good food, service, & atmosphere. Valet parking too. Although i'm not a 'real' red meat afficionado, hubby is and he loved it.

A couple of weeks ago I told you that I was headed to Minneapolis to attend the Joy of Lighting class sponsored by West Photo and held at the Mpls Photo Center. Tony Corbell, who has teamed up with Bowens at teambowens.com, is an amazing instructor. The first day of the class was mostly classroom slides and discussions about different lighting techniques.

Photo Essay - IKEA-UNICEF Partnership: Celebrating 10 years in India
For over 10 years, the IKEA Foundation has been supporting UNICEF's work in India to end child labour and create a better future for India's children.
By the end of 2012, we will have donated more than €100 million to UNICEF in India, reaching 74 million children with programmes to help break the cycle of poverty.
The IKEA Foundation is UNICEF's largest corporate donor and, through our long-term work together, we are able to see sustainable and lasting change in the lives of millions of children and their families.
Donating solar-powered lamps
Lack of electricity in some parts of India means that many children are unable to study when darkness falls, having a lasting impact on their future opportunities. To help ensure children can continue their education, the IKEA Foundation has donated over 90,000 Sunnan solar-powered lamps through UNICEF.

Author information
BRIAN SIBLEY is a writer and broadcaster with a life-long interest in fantasy books and cinema. His fascination with J. R. R. Tolkien and the myths and history of Middle-earth first led to his critically-acclaimed 26-part BBC radio dramatisation of The Lord of the Rings in which the role of Frodo was played by Ian Holm, who went on to portray Bilbo in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, a role he is now reprising in The Hobbit. Brian's subsequent radio dramas included several of Tolkien's short novels collected under the title Tales from the Perilous Realm, C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, two series of Tales of the Bizarre by Ray Bradbury, novels by Roald Dahl, J B Priestley and James Thurber as well as Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan and Gormenghast which won him the prestigious Sony Radio Award. A recent return to Peake country resulted in a six-hour serialisation entitled The History of Titus Groan, recipient of the 2012 BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Dramatisation. His books include Three Cheers for Pooh, Chicken Run: Hatching the Movie, The Making of The Pirates!, Cracking Animation, The Disney Studio Story, The Book of Guinness Advertising, The Land of Narnia and Shadowlands, as well as his collaboration with John Howe on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Maps of Middle-earth. Following on from his award-winning accounts of the making of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and his official biography, Peter Jackson: A Filmmaker's Journey, Brian returns to chronicle the making of the The Hobbit.
Review quote
'Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos. Fans of Middle-earth will love it.' Sunday Mirror 'The book screams "access", and does a great job bringing the filming alive' SFX 'Packed with exclusive information, this book concentrates on interviews with the cast and crew... ideal for someone interested in moviemaking as much as the story of The Hobbit.' Hull Daily Mail

A word from Painted Pony
A culinary island in Southern Utah, the Painted Pony brings a touch of class--and intriguing flavors--to St. George. The restaurant, tucked away in Ancestor Square, is exceptionally clean and cozy, with contemporary art, fresh flowers, and -- in the evening -- a top notch romantic atmosphere with subdued lighting and patio dining.Continued
If your surroundings don't clue you in, your first glance at the menu will. Painted Pony is not your standard fare. Contemporary American cuisine evidently doesn't mean just another good steakhouse, and the simply written food descriptions promise something new and intriguing for your palate.
The Painted Pony has perfected the fine art of using fresh ingredients and delicate flavoring. An exceptional wine list, generous portions, attentive service, and reasonable prices will convince you to return to "the Pony" anytime you're in St. George.

- Outstanding GemWyomingCowboyVIPDined on 11/24/2014We make it a point to stop in St George and the Painted Pony for dinner whenever we are driving through. They continue to provide some of the best meals we have had anywhere. This last visit continued the tradition of creative,well presented and delicious dishes in a unique environment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem in St. GeorgeMontana13Dined on 11/17/2014We were looking for a nice restaurant in St. George and found The Painted Pony. Very cute place, nice ambiance. Menu was excellent as were our two entrees. I had the ribeye and my wife the pork chop. The Painted Pony Pinot Noir was a great accent to our dinner. Our server, Kelli, was very attentive and knowledgeable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent restaurant with good foodExperimentalistDined on 11/15/2014Excellent restaurant. The service was fantastic. The food was very good. I didn't give it 5 stars because the steak wasn't anything spectacular. It was definitely good, but not "you have to try this." The brie on the other hand was delicious, and the potatoes wrapped in bacon with the steak were amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- as good as I rememberedMerceDined on 11/8/2014Had not dined at Painted Pony for at least 10 years. The food and the service were fabulous.Special Features:
- Birthday giftFirst1Dined on 11/7/2014We always plan for special occasions here. We also enjoy the wine events they occasionally have. The whit chocolate tower is to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/7/2014Imaginative menu and some great items but not everything is as good as it could be. Ask your server for recommendations - they really know the food. Excellent service!Special Features:
- Foodies DelightAnnversaryDined on 11/7/2014The service was exceptional - from the Hostess to our server. Our server was remarkable with her knowledge of the restaurants wine list and how we could pair with our entries. It was cute they served our desert - sorbet - with a candle as we were celebrating a birthday! If you like beets, try their beet salad.Special Features:
- Best in st. George utahMissyDined on 11/7/2014The owners are local and work very hard to maintain high quality in all areas. Their other restaurant, George's, is more casual, but also wonderful.Special Features:
- Awesome Presentation of Good FoodVisitingChemistDined on 11/1/2014Our only disappointment was that there was only 1 vegetarian dish (pasta), and only 1 fish on the menu in a restaurant that advertises steak, seafood and pasta, so we felt the menu was heavily leaning toward meat lovers. There seemed to be "cake" than crab in the crab cakes. My husband said the hangar steak was one of the best he's had, and he loved the sauce . We'll definitely try this restaurant again next time we're in St. George.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CopythatDined on 10/31/2014Overall well done. We will be back. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice meal, good ambiancepurpledog10Dined on 10/30/2014We ordered four small plates plus two salads for the two of us. Way too much food! The small plates are not small but are normal-sized meals. The staff must be instructed to speak very quietly because none of them spoke at a normal conversation level (and my hearing is excellent). Our waiter was pleasant and knowledgeable, but very formal. We sat outside which was very pleasant. The food varied from excellent to so-so. The salads were excellent, the mussels and smoked quail were excellent, the brie was good but not anything special, and the crab cakes were not that great compared to crab cakes back east in crab country. The espresso was very good. I would go back for the beet salad and mussels every night if I could!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and serviceCYandRYDined on 10/30/2014Food was as good as it looked. Went for a special romantic occasion and it exceeded my expectations. Server was very accommodating (we didn't feel rushed). All of the staff made the evening perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- painted pony experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/27/2014have never been disappointed when dining here. always good food & service. always a treat.Special Features:
- Huge servingsNigeWirralDined on 10/25/2014Fortunately we skipped appetisers when we noticed almost everyone leaving with a box. One of us had rack of lamb and there were 9 chops - tasted great but way too big! No space for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- notcookingtonightDined on 10/20/2014great food -- I'm glutton free and they always accomodate me -- we always stop here when we are driving through townSpecial Features:
- Hidden gem in St. GeorgeAgent86Dined on 10/19/2014Menu is inventive. All the usual entree offerings are there but with unusual twists. Food was well prepared and nicely seasoned. Ambiance was relaxing. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Prices are reasonable. This must be near the top of all restaurants in the St. George area.Special Features:
- Always a pleasureRefreshedDined on 10/18/2014We eat at the Painted Pony whenever we get the chance. While living in St George, we went frequently and were never disappointed. Sadly, work took us out of the area, but we still drop in at every opportunity. I have to mention the heirloom tomato and mozzarella appetizer special we had most recently. The tomatoes were large, juicy, and had fantastic flavor and color. Dinners, as always were creative, delicious, and just the right proportion. Each of us had to taste the other dinners and no one was disappointed with anything on the table. We even enjoyed the plates on tables that surrounded us, sadly, only with our eyes. The ambiance, food and service leaves me refreshed and is always a hit with friends and family.Special Features:
- I thought I was in Carmel.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/16/2014The Painted Pony is the place for those of us who appreciate "real" food expertly prepared and beautifully presented and served. Our waiter, John was professional and extremely pleasant. We had a great experience at PP.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyableDiegoDined on 10/12/2014Painted Pony is an upscale restaurant in the heart of St George downtown. A bit pricey but the quality of the food makes the cost a lot more bearable. The service is top notch and i would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rivals the best in VegasDesmtDined on 10/7/2014Painted Pony was so surprisingly good that my wife and I had dinner there on all four of our nights in St. George. We never repeated an app or entrée or dessert, and all were uniformly attractive, creative, and tasty - including (perhaps especially) the accompaniments, sauces, and spices. Excluding the superb fine dining choices in nearby Las Vegas, PP is at least as good as Vegas's top casual and bistro eateries, for about 30% less cost. It's the best value in St. George, and perhaps all of southern Utah.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Visiting for Huntsman Senior GamesNealDined on 10/6/2014We have dined at Painted Pony every year for the last 7 years visiting St George while competing in the Huntsman Senior Games and the food and service has always been exemplary. We always order a bottle of the Painted Pony Pinot Noir and have always been impressed.Special Features:
- Very enjoyable eveningYak1Dined on 10/3/2014Ryan was wonderful, as well as the rest of the staff. The special was halibut, and it was cooked perfectly. We will eat here again.Special Features:
- Birthday68Dinneraniv36dinnerDined on 10/1/2014Everything was excellent -- the crab cake appetizer was exceptional (had to take a picture), the French Onion soup was unique and great, and the swordfish entree was terrific. Although the dessert was very good, we passed along that the chocolate covered popcorn could have been left out without taking away from the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/30/2014very good but expensive. there is in fact, at least one other restaurant in St George better & a tad cheaper. Lets face it, St George is a small Utah town so you have to make allowances, but luckily there are two or three places better than the standard US family type restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful and SpecialSandeeDined on 9/29/2014It was my 80th birthday and I made the reservation never knowing or seeing the restaurant.. What A Gem!! The restaurant is upstairs of a courtyard so you overlook the trees and courtyard through big windows. The food was outstanding and service was perfect, with a laid-back atmosphere. You won't be disappointed, although a bit pricy, it was worth it. We would go back there in a minute.Special Features:
- A pony, not a horseOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/27/2014Service was top aspect, as we ended up being one hour late thanks to bad traffic in Vegas. Steak entree was top notch. Tuna entree had mountain of noodles and not so much tuna. Prickly pear margaritas were long on sweetness and short on tequila. Maybe the best St George has to offer.
- BobskiBobskiVIPDined on 9/26/2014What an unexpected delight. Food was creative, fresh and impeccably prepared. Our waitress, Kelli caught on that we were friends celebrating the end of a long road trip and paced the meal perfectly. The meal and experience compared favorably to my favorites in SanFrancisco, New York or Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome restaurantLadyDiDined on 9/25/2014The Painted Pony is one of the best restaurants we have been to. The creativity of the chef with his menu was great! We stayed one night in St. George as we were en route back to Santa Fe, and found the Painted Pony online as the best in St. George. Gives us an additional reason to visit the area again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!TheKelsterDined on 9/23/2014We have been to St. George many times but just found this gem of a restaurant and will definitely go back. In fact, we decided to stop in the night before our reservation for a drink and appy, which gave us a great preview of what was to come the next night. Delicious food, excellent service and atmosphere! Thanks to all at the Painted Pony!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServiceGinnaDined on 9/17/2014We had great service. We split several dishes and they helped with the split.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The BestJJPDlpDined on 9/10/2014Always a great dining experience. Service, food and atmosphere are always great. For me the best in Southern Utah.Special Features:
- Best of the West, hands down.WillieDined on 9/6/2014Best restaurant in the Western Region. Fact: attention to EVERY detail, best wine selection, great ambiance, service out of the ordinary. Nothing compares to the Painted Pony. Still talking about dinner this past Saturday. My Smoked Bacon wrapped Duck breasts were better than anything I ever had in France. Perfect meats. Desserts from scratch, all exquisite, gelatto, pies and cakes you name it. They grow their own heirloom tomatoes and make their own bread. Very reasonably priced for the amazing dining experience. Unreal! My congratulations and most sincere thanks to the owners, the Chef, our server John and the whole staff. Look no further. Next time I go to Vegas, I will drive all the way out to St. George to dine at The Painted Pony!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- #1 by far BEST in St George….onlythebestDined on 9/5/2014Truly outstanding in ALL respects! Food, ambiance, courtesy, cleanliness all simply beyond reproach. I go there EVERY time when I'm in St George!Special Features:
- Our 40th!ExcaliliverDined on 9/1/2014The Painted Pony is very comfortable to walk into as the greeting is always very warm and friendly. The waitstaff, after seated, is very quick to start service. Our waiter was superb, timely, and we never sat and waited for any food. Even the young lady in serving our water was there to refill and yet never interrupted our meal, completely seamless Every time we've gone there they offer a salad special different each and every time. This time it was the most flavorful heirlom tomatoes and freshly made mozzarella slices. The rack of lamb and the fresh Cod we enjoyed were perfectly done. We are taking some visitors coming in November there to let them experience what we both love.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Very nice eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/29/2014We dined at the Painted Pony last Friday with our neighbors. Eventhough we both had experienced the Pony before it was delightful and refreshing to visit again. The food was great and our waiter Brice was exceptional. Brice was very professional, attentive, and not pushy. The Pony offers standard menu items which are great, but the salad and main course specials were creative and tasty as well. Thanks for the great dining experience and we'll see you again.Special Features:

Marriage in the Mountains
September 28, 2013
The House of the Four Winds is incredible. The view is like no other, the family friendly home is immediately comfortable and the owners are close by in the community to make sure everything is just right. Our son was married up the road at The Stone Church and we had everyone over to take it all in following the ceremony and it was a big hit. All the comforts of home, it was everything we had hoped for and more - we hope to come back.

We had a wonderful stay... hiked during the days, lit a roaring fire and cooked meals in this cozy but spacious home. Would definitely stay there again. Lovely hosts... lovely scenery.

The home is beautiful and very spacious. The view was amazing. The location was great - there was a really nice hike at the end of the street, a grocery store 10 minutes away, etc. The owners were local, this seemed to be their primary residence, and were kind enough to stop by on a few occassions to drop off toys for my young daughter to play with while we were there, as well as a raincoat for me to use, as I'd left mine at home. The only drawback was there appeared to be concerns around water useage - we were cautioned not to all shower every day (we were a big group though) for fear of running out of water and to flush only when needed...hopefully this was just a matter of the need for rain this season. Otherwise we really had a great time and loved the house.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.7
It's not much of a stretch to declare the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee the finest version ever to wear the storied nameplate. Designed during the reign of Mercedes-Benz over Chrysler, the 2013 Grand Cherokee enjoys the benefits of this short-lived marriage by borrowing parts of the M-Class platform. The result is a vehicle so rigid and tight that it makes older Grand Cherokees feel like centuries-old rickshaws. A stunning interior bolstered by cutting-edge infotainment and electronics systems awaits the lucky occupants while, underneath, Jeep's legendary 4-wheel-drive (4WD) systems prove the Grand Cherokee hasn't gone weak when it comes to its off-road capabilities. Along with the Laredo, Limited and Overland trims, there is a new Trailhawk model, as well as the performance-oriented, 4WD-only SRT8.
Whether you require the tenacious traction afforded by the Grand Cherokee's three available 4WD systems, or just the controlled balance and handling of the 2WD version, both come wrapped in a solid package with the highest quality materials yet placed in a Jeep.
If room for seven or fuel economy better than 23 mpg top your demands, the 2013 Grand Cherokee won't pass muster. Those looking to keep the price south of $30K may be in for sticker shock once more desirable options are added.
For 2013, the Overland Summit models gain Front Park Assist, power-folding mirrors, headlamp washers and a new black Nappa leather interior option. Also new is the Trailhawk model that includes the Select-Terrain system, Quadra-Lift air suspension, Goodyear Silent Armor off-road tires and rock-rail body protection.
Driving Impressions The Jeep Grand Cherokee's impressive on- and off-road driving dynamics come courtesy of its all-independent suspension. This setup allows a smooth on-road driving experience, yet possesses enough travel to make...quick work of difficult off-road obstacles. Add to the mix Jeep's Quadra-Lift air suspension (4WD models only) and the performance only gets better. Quadra-Lift gives a greater ability to overtake large objects (like rocks) or to ride lower at high speeds, creating more stable handling. As for power, all three of the Grand Cherokee's available engines don't disappoint, from the fuel-efficient yet powerful Pentastar V6, to the stump-pulling 5.7-liter HEMI V8, to the SRT8's audacious 470-horsepower HEMI V8. The Grand Cherokee's power-assisted steering feels better connected to the wheels and, with careful attention to springs and shock absorbers, the wheels feel better connected to the road.
Available on 4WD models only, the Quadra-Lift option allows Jeep enthusiasts an adjustable ride height fully compatible with virtually any on- or off-road condition. If you're venturing off-road, you can adjust the clearance upward by either 1.3 or 2.6 inches while, if parked, you can lower the vehicle 1.5 inches.
The leather for the Overland Summit seemingly covers everything in the interior of this grandest Grand Cherokee except the windshield. While wishing the designers hadn't spelled out the model designation on the seat itself, buyers choosing the top trim level will be rewarded on each and every drive.
In designing the Grand Cherokee for 2013, Jeep has executed what can only be called a seismic shift in both design and material selection from previous models. Gone are the cheap fabrics and hard plastics in Grand Cherokees of old, as is the smallish rear seat that provided little in the way of head- or legroom. With a longer wheelbase the rear seat is made much more accessible and passengers will enjoy expanded use of soft materials, real wood trim (in upscale versions) and a much more concentrated effort to make the driver and passenger experience everything they might want in a luxury SUV.Exterior
There's a unity to the 2013 Grand Cherokee's sheet metal that we haven't seen since its initial launch two decades ago. To be sure, the familiar 7-slot grille, hexagonal wheel arches and minimal front and rear overhangs remain, but the whole now comprises various elements much better integrated than before. And visual upgrades in all trim levels, from base Laredo to Overland Summit, result in a 2013 Grand Cherokee family looking decidedly more upscale than previous generations. We especially like the wheel-and-tire fitments, in combination with shortened overhangs; even the Laredo's standard 17-inch alloys fill the wheel wells in a capable, off-road-worthy fashion.
Despite a modest base price of around $28,000 with 2-wheel drive, the 2013 Grand Cherokee comes with dual-zone air conditioning, rear liftgate "flipper" glass, remote key fobs, Jeep's Media Center 130 AM/FM/CD radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel and 17-inch alloy wheels. Those placing a premium on safety will appreciate standard ESC (electronic stability control), electronic roll mitigation and front, front-side and side-curtain airbags.
For those wanting to keep the price low and the appearance of their new Grand Cherokee up(scale), the Laredo X provides a number of cosmetic and functional enhancements not available on the base Laredo. And for those wanting to improve the Jeep experience even further, a number of chassis improvements will do just that, beginning with Quadra-Drive II (includes 2-speed transfer case and Hill Descent Control), Quadra-Lift Air Suspension (adjustable ride height for both off-road adventure and on-road composure) and Selec-Terrain, which is Jeep's electronic system for delivering all-season capability by providing for five traction-control settings: Automatic, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud and Rock.
For 2013, the Jeep Grand Cherokee's standard 3.6 liter approaches V8-like horsepower and torque levels, yet even when connected to the 2WD platform it has a great deal of mass to motivate. The 5.7-liter HEMI benefits from multi-displacement technology; based on need, the HEMI will operate on all eight cylinders or, with reduced demand, only four. And with the increased displacement, horsepower and torque of the HEMI, owners can enjoy an enhanced towing capability (7,400 pounds versus 5,000 pounds in the V6). The SRT8's 6.4 liters and 470 horsepower bring new life, and a nationwide network of dealers, to the hyper-performance SUV segment.
3.6-liter V6 (Laredo, Limited, Overland, Trialhawk)
290 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm
260 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/23 mpg (2WD), 16/23 mpg (4WD)
5.7-liter V8 (Limited, Overland, Trailhawk)
360 horsepower @ 5,150 rpm
390 lb-ft of torque @ 4,250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20 mpg (2WD), 13/20 mpg (4WD)
6.4-liter V8 (SRT8)
470 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
465 lb-ft of torque @ 4,300 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/18 mpg

"Our Jeep Cherokee Overland edition is a fun to drive and well put together vehicle for just under 50k. Many luxurious features and great on and off road with a powerful and throaty 350HP V-8. Don't expect great mileage with the v-8 but enjoy the powerful acceleration and snow eating ability of this beast! The Nav screen is tiny and not very user friendly."

"I bought this car new almost 2 years ago, and it's been awesome! There is plenty of power (5.7L Hemi) and it drives very smooth! Even with the big V8, it does decent on gas because of the variable valve technology that shuts down 4 cylinders when freeway driving. Because of this fact, I still average about 20MPG. Lots of technology loaded in it, and it is very fun, reliable and comfortable to drive. Definitely recommend it to anyone asking!"

Bait and SwitchPosted Oct 9, 2012 on Hotels.com
This facility is VERY old and outdated. The bathroom ceiling and walls had holes and conduit routed throuh the air fan/vents into the bedroom area. The room said 2 queens and it is actually double beds. There was no secondary interior lock or deadbolt for the door. It was a last minute choice that was a very bad one. For the rate we paid, it was an absolute dump. I looked at the barand and thought there was a standard. Not the case. Key West should remove its name from this location.

According to my notes, Sarah Sealey "Sallie" Chaney, born 17 Apr 1799 in Mississippi, was the daughter of Bailey Eliphalet Chaney and Elizabeth Ratliff. On 28 Apr 1828, she married Howell Joshua Rawlins and they were the parents of Martha, Betsey, Howell J. Jr, and Harvel Rawlings. Sarah's sister Mary "Polly" Ryan Chaney was born 10 Feb 1891 in Mississippi; on 22 Sept 1821, Mary married Hugh Pinkney "Pink" Montgomery in Franklin Co, MS. The parents of Bailey Eliphalet Chaney were William Chaney (b. ca 1833, probably in SC) and (likely but not totally proven) Sarah Norris. The parents of William were James Chaney and (again not yet proven) Mary Johnson (widow Young) - both are believed to have been born in Virginia and migrated to South Carolina before the American Revolution. William migrated ca 1790 to the southwestern area of MS where most of his children settled.
Although I have extensive records about this family (and their 'cousins' who founded Cheneyville, I cannot find any other Rawlings/Rawlins/<other similar spellings> or any Mary E. born about 1795 who might be the lady you mention. Please contact me at email@example.com to swap data.

Welcome fall in dependency on the state
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Official data released today by the Office of National Statistics shows that 52% of households are receiving more in benefits than they pay in taxes.
This figure has fallen 1.5 percentage points since 2011 – although it is still 8.2 percentage points higher than in 2000.
For non-retired households the proportion has fallen 1.8 percentage points – from 39.7% in 2011 to 37.9% in 2013.
Credit: Office for National Statistics
This measure has been newly introduced by the ONS for the latest release, and the Centre for Policy Studies welcomes its inclusion – the measure having been first commissioned by the CPS in its 2012 paper The Progressivity of UK Taxes and Transfers.
Responding to the ONS release CPS Director Tim Knox stated:
"This small fall in the proportion of households who receive more in benefits than they pay in tax is welcome. But the fact that over half of all households receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes should be deeply shocking. There is still so much more to do to get us back to the long term average of around 45%."
The data show that:
- Total cash benefits plus benefits in kind for the middle 20% of households fell by 5% between 2011 and 2013.
- Total taxes paid by the middle 20% rose 1% between 2011 and 2013.
- The net dependency of the middle 20% fell 17% over the two year period.
- Apart from the top fifth, all income groups are paying less in direct taxes than they were in 2011.
- Pre-tax income for the bottom three fifths of households has risen since 2011.
The richest 20% paid £1,396 more per household in taxes in 2013 than in 2011.

Lisbon HotelsVibrant, vivacious Lisbon is a thrilling destination for visitors of all persuasions. At first glance, Europe's second-oldest capital city is a beguiling time-warp, with rickety trams hurtling down cobbled streets, past whitewashed houses and medieval churches. But scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a thriving, modern metropolis, with world-class shopping, cutting-edge nightclubs, and a sophisticated restaurant scene. With gorgeously warm summers and famously mild winters, it's the perfect choice for an action-packed getaway at any time of year.Things to seeMany visitors begin their walking tour of Lisbon with a leisurely stroll through the winding streets of Bairro Alto. This romantic, atmospheric district, which dates back to the 16th century, springs to life each evening, when locals gather outside their favourite bars to enjoy drinks on cobbled terraces, and tourists flock to the famous Fado houses to hear beautiful traditional Portuguese folk music. Rossio Square is another perennially popular meeting spot. With an imposing bronze statue of King Dom Pedro IV as its centrepiece, this elegant plaza is the perfect spot to relax with a coffee and watch Lisboners go about their daily business. The Cristo Rei statue is one of Lisbon's most iconic sights. Inspired by the huge Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, this dramatic landmark towers over the city skyline. Take a trip up to the top, and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views.Hotels in Lisbon As you might expect from a major world city, there's an abundance of hotels in Lisbon to suit every budget and preference, from palatial 5-star institutions to friendly backpacker hostels. The city's finest hotels are truly world-class affairs, replete with decadent amenities such as full service health spas, state-of-the-art fitness centres, indoor pools, and 24-hour room service. You'll also find charming boutique hotels housed in stunning period buildings, bursting with local character. There are plenty of competitively-priced mid-range hotels, boasting modern facilities including flat-screen TVs and business centres. Lisbon is also a great choice for a budget break, with bargain-rate hotels offering you free breakfasts, coffee and tea making facilities, and WiFi as part of your room rate.Where to stayYou'll find a wealth of accommodation to choose from in Baixa, Lisbon's thriving downtown. Famed for its stunning Neoclassical architecture, this district is packed with chic pavement cafés, tempting pastry shops, and lively street vendors touting all manner of quirky souvenirs. If you're looking to combine city sightseeing with a more restful break, Central Cascais is a fantastic alternative. Just 30 minutes by car from central Lisbon, this charming coastal town also puts you within easy reach of some truly beautiful beaches. Sintra is another popular nearby destination. Surrounded by dense, lush forest, this fairytale village is home to the magnificent Pena National Palace, an incredible fusion of eclectic architectural styles which dates back to the Romantic era.How to get to Lisbon Lisbon Portela Airport is Portugal's largest airport, well served by daily flights from European cities such as London, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid and Rome, as well as long-hall destinations including New York, Dubai and Rio de Janeiro. From the airport, it's a 25-minute Metro ride to Lisbon city centre, or you can take one of the frequent airport shuttle buses. Taxis are also widely available, although reports of visitors being overcharged are fairly common. Alternatively, Lisbon can be easily reached by bus or train from most major Portuguese cities.
