Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a rare appearance today, speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt in a "fireside chat," marking his first public remarks since his company's disappointing IPO in May. In a bid for transparency and humility, Zuckerberg said he's "ready to double down" on the company's future. He also admitted making mistakes, including betting too much on HTML5, and talked up his focus on mobile and advertising as a way to bolster revenue and FB's stock price. He also denied rumors of a Facebook phone being in the works while confirming new product development including a search engine. He even gave a shout-out to other tech brands he thinks are "killing it" right now: Spotify, Airbnbn, Nike+ and Runkeeper. Read more on TechCrunch.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The Osprey,
Cyndi the property manager emailed me asking me to write a review that she could submit, about the vacation rental property we stayed at called, The Osprey.
I was happy to help, as my experience with my family staying at this rental was highly satisfactory. I met Cyndi on the bay front side walk last Spring, while I was here on business, and we started up a conversation about vacation rentals, and when I told her I was bringing my family back, she told me about the choices she could provide.
The Osprey was perfect for us. An amazing, vacation home, only a few feet from both the oceanfront and bay front. Don't let the reasonable rate fool you; this rental is well cared for and very clean, as Cindy will tell you.
You have views of the ocean from the living room, dining room and one of the bedrooms, in this rental, and the roof top deck has amazing views of the city and waterfront vistas. I walked to get coffee each morning with the locals, and the entire family ate a breakfast spots and had great dinners on the waterfront. My kids took surf lessons and my wife ran daily along the boardwalk.
The Osprey is supplied and furnished with all everything my family needed for our stay.
Do make a note about the garage parking, as is stated in the contract, the garage is narrow, so don't rent anything large. We were glad we didn't let the rental car agency upgrade up to a minivan. Also, this rental, is better for older children who are stable on their feet, due to the steps.
Cyndi is easy to work with, from the reservation process, to greeting you when you arrive and helping you get parked and settled. I do live on the East coast, so, I am not sure, when I will come out again, but the teenagers are already talking about West coast colleges.

I sometimes struggle to come up with innovative & seasonal vegetable accompaniments; this recipe was devised when I had about 4 leeks left after making Leek & Potato soup, and about half a glass of Chardonnay!! It's a cross between poaching & steaming them in the Chardonnay, you don't want too much liquid. When you are ready to serve the leeks, add your creme fraiche & seasonings and you have an elegant & easy vegetable side dish! Try and use thin leeks rather than the tougher & larger leeks. Measurements are based on 4 people - I have allowed one leek per person, based on the fact that there will be other side dishes & maybe potatoes served as well.

Coast of Italy Between Venice and Trieste
- CindyJ Apr 2, 2013 07:10 AM
We're talking about a vacation in mid-September and looking at a map of Italy because we LOVE Italy -- the people, the culture and, of course, the food. We've never been to that northeastern part of the country and we'd love to get some "insider" perspectives. What we like to do is rent a small apartment or home, or find agriturismo accommodations, rent a car and take day trips to explore the area. We enjoy shopping in the local markets and cooking, as much as we do dining at the small, local restaurants.
Is this an area we should consider for a week's vacation? And, if so, is there a particular area we should call "home"? Thanks!
re: allende
Thanks. Are there any towns in particular that you'd recommend for a home base?
re: CindyJ
Not really. There are so many great towns (and Udine), that you'll just have to make up your mind as to what you want. There is a ton of information on the net.
I think if you do a search in the upper right hand corner box for "FVG" you wlll come up with several threads. When the result comes up increase the date range and there will be more. Several very enthusiastic threads on this area.
I visited that area over 15 years ago, so I cannot make any specific dining recommendations. I do remember a bowl of linguini & clams I had in the coastal town of Grado, but I have forgotten the name of the place.
I can recommend visiting the Duomo in Aquileia to see the incredible mosaic tile floor there.
Cividale del Friuli is another wonderful town with much to see. I can remember an all mushroom dinner there.
From everything I've read, here on CH and a few other places, it sounds like FVG will make a wonderful vacation destination for a week or so. I've already purchased a copy of "Osterie & Locande D'Italia" and it appears to be a wonderful resource. But I would love an insider's recommendation for a place to stay that will give us a true "sense of place." Ideally, we'll have living space that includes a kitchen and an outdoor eating area. We'd like to be near enough to a town that we can shop for food (and wine) at the local markets when we feel like doing our own cooking. Our accommodations need not be luxurious, but comfort, cleanliness and a private bathroom are among our requirements. Most of all, an opportunity to meet locals and other travelers would be wonderful.
A farmhouse or agritourismo would be lovely. Does anyone have a recommendation?
re: CindyJ
please remember that accomodations are offtopic for this board, and discussions of same tend to get deleted resulting in upsets. While people can offer recommendations about places to base for eating and places like agriturismi where food is offered, you might want to look at travel boards agrituriso and b&b sites (or the locanda guide) if your main need is for a place to stay.
re: jen kalb
Yes, I do understand. The Locanda guide has a lot of good info, but it's always a plus when a recommendation for food or accommodations comes first hand.
We had a wonderful, super fresh, seafood platter in Aqueleia, on the main road to Grado. The restaurant, with out door seating, is called Ai Due Leoni.
Very friendly service at an off-the-beaten-path place.
Also, here's an informative article about the food in the area.
re: jangita
That's a great link. Thanks!
re: CindyJ
I don't know whether you saw this post.
Hiya Cindy!
Any goodies you find, hopefully you will post early. We are off to Tuscany for a week for a big family get-together (although none of us are Italian or live in Italy) about 16-20 ppl. We have huge villa and a chef(!) for that week, but we are shouldering the trip with a few days in Rome and a few in Venice.
We've been to Tuscany several times and love he food and folks there. We had a wonderful stay once at a place in the middle of a vineyard, north of Sienna. They took over some of the old stone worker buildings and turned them into lovely rooms and the manor house became the lounge/restaurant/pool. The nice thing was they left some of the workers' houses for their workers, so in the evening before dinner, you'd see all the folks out chatting, playing cards, kids running around, etc. Very friendly folks
Have a wonderful trip
re: FriedClamFanatic
Hey there, FCF! Sounds like you're off on a wonderful trip. We rented a villa in a vineyard just north of Siena, in Castellina in Chianti, a few years ago. One of the highlights of that trip was a visit to the Corzano e Paterno winery in San Casciano. One of the folks at Moore Brothers put us in touch with the owner, and we ended our visit with him drinking wine on the back porch of his home, high on a hill, watching the sun set over his vineyards.
I love, love, LOVE Italy! I feel so connected to the land and the people -- and of course, to the food -- so much so that I've often wondered if maybe I was Italian in a former life. This much I DO know: the more Italian wine I drink, the more fluent I become in Italian. Don't laugh -- it's true! I have witnesses! And the same thing happens to me when I drink German wine in Germany.
Funny thing about Friuli, though. I'm just not finding a whole lot of information about travel in the region, and we're beginning to rethink our vacation destination. Then again, being in that region would also give us an opportunity to explore Slovenia, which my son really enjoyed. Decisions... decisions...
So just where in Tuscany will you be staying? A villa with a chef sounds awesome. Can't wait to hear all about it. DO report back.
Buon viaggio!
re: CindyJ
this is the place......no nothing of the chef yet
re: FriedClamFanatic
The place looks spectacular! Got room for one or two more?

Farewell My Captain
The above link shows a clip from Dead Poets Society, one of many films made by Robin Williams.
I came home today to be surprised by the news of his death, what a weird range of emotions this news has sparked.
I remember in 7th grade Texas History class, mimicking Robin and some of his comedy when the teacher would leave the room. One of my favorites was his portrayal of Mr Rogers.
I remember hanging with my cousins Martha and Raymond every visit watching Robin's comedy on VHS.
I remember seeing Good Morning Vietnam in Lubbock while at Tech and walking away amazed at the talent on such vivid display.
Seeing Robin Williams act wether serious roles, or comedic, performing standup, or reruns of Mork and Mindy, staying up late to watch him crack up Johnny Carson, or hoping to meet him the year I toured with A Tuna Christmas. I was inspired.
I carried a list of questions to ask Mr. Williams in case our paths crossed. It was following Mrs. Doubtfire, a movie that I really resonated with being a divorced father separated from my son, that I came up with the questions. A list of 12 questions about how to deal with creativity, performing, being an actor with children, etc...
I found this list just about a year ago and read through the questions again. I had no other thoughts of them until today.
Today i am a full time minister, not an actor or comedian, yet I still use some of Robin's expressiveness in my sermons and in my teaching style. His wide-open, full speed, rapid fire delivery and even his calm cool "it's not your fault" delivery from Good Will Hunting finds it's way into myrhythm and pattern of speech.
So tonight, I simply mourn. Tonight the world has one less voice to exhort us to laughter, to bring us to tears, to make us pause and think, to bring us to our feet in applause.
Tonight My Captain, I long
for one more story or song.
Tonight I wish simply
for your family to feel comfort.
Tonight O Captain,
may you sleep well. Peace.
Unveiled faces
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

Good Night O Captain: Thoughts on Robin Williams

The Tower of Label
Society today seems to be fractured and polarizing. The culture that we live in, the television and movies we watch, politics, sports, all boil down to categories into which we place others. Even in church this is difficult to escape, progressive vs conservative, traditional vs liberal, young vs old...the damage we do to others in this labeling and sectioning has been discussed some this week, so what bout the damage to ourselves when we label others?
To decide to place others in a category, or to apply a label to someone may very well be the actual application of the old children's argument "I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you." Each time I label others, I am placing a label on myself.
One of the things that is frustrating about today's social climate is the lack of true debate. To simply place a label on another person, and therefore assume that I know their argument blocks any chance of honest give and take discussion on actual issues. The norm of modern debate consists of giving someone a name, and then punishing them. Punishing also anyone who chooses to show sympathy or association with those we are in opposition with. Yes, true debate does involve taking a side; however, modern debate simply operates on the premise that I am enlightened and you are an idiot. Language like, "any reasonable person can see..." takes the place of examining natural cause and effect of making choice A or B. To make the decisions of identifying another person based on opinions or thoughts dehumanizes the other person and keeps me from seeing the catalyst that led the other person to his or her stance. Choosing not to see the human seated across from us, and rather the issue breaks the connection I have with them and allows me to see myself as better or more enlightened, a dangerous stance of superiority that robs me of the value of the man or woman I disagree with.
Graham Cooke writes, "Irritation is caused out of our carnal capacity to be angry and annoyed at people and circumstances and to believe the worst about someone or something. This leads to abnormal sensitivity to self, and we become quickly offended. Irritation and the negative emotions that accompany it are a sign where our flesh needs to be touched by the Spirit. It's a sign pointing to our next transformation! Irritation does not go away. It gets stored, liked body fat. This is why we must exercise ourselves to godliness." from Prophecy and Responsibility
Placing labels on one another violates what Jesus terms as the second greatest command to "love our neighbors as ourselves." My dad told me all the time growing up when I was sectioning people out "Son, my rights end where your nose begins." I can choose what is necessary and beneficial for me based on the circumstances and realities of my life. If I make that decision for you then I see you as less than myself, creating a dangerous superiority that skews the natural balance that all men are created equal. Inequality damages my ability to maintain relationships and receive love from others. A life lived in total and increasing isolation is a burden in which I will eventually fail to live up to my own expectations contributing to self loathing.
Interactions with others is a need that God spotted in humans early on, "it is not good for man to be alone." To constantly draw lines of association and involvement is an increasing burden, leading to a role as world police and authority. This is a role we were NEVER created or intended to hold. The burden of being judge and jury of others is a burden that will affect our health and well being. I drove a school bus for 8 years, driving a bus full of students on a daily route as well as many weekend trips. There were very stressful times of heavy traffic, bad weather, and even mechanical problems that added to the responsibility of maintaining the safety of my passengers. The stress that I place on myself when I label others, and then decide if the need to be swayed to my way of thinking or just placed in a different circle of association is a constant burden that we are not qualified to carry. The stress of always being right leads to isolation and shallow relationships that contribute to the stress. Constant labeling and pigeon holing leads us to carrying grudges and forging a new identity for ourselves that skews who we really are intended to be.
For those of us in Christ, we are not owned by our possessions OR the labels and boxes we place on others or ourselves. How much more effective would our witness to Christ be if we applied the love of Jesus to everyone in place of the labels? How many more places could we step into if we were to lay aside the "Us vs Them" mentality that labeling creates?
The following prayer mentions standing before God with empty hands, I would add a plea to God to help me also not be what I label myself or others. Please allow me to escape the box that I have placed myself in with the divisions I have created. Please help me live out the truth of "no Jew or Greek, no slave or free, and no male or female" for if you have broken those barriers forgive me for the new ones I have tried to construct.
"Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me."

There but for the grace of God...
There is an old saying that we utter at times when we see folks struggling.
"There but for the grace of God, go I"
This phrase is credited to John Bradford, a preacher and martyr who lived 1510-1555. The story is that Bradford would see someone being led to the scaffold for hanging and say, "There but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford." In 1555, John Bradford was burned at the stake and spoke to a fellow victim "we shall have a merry supper with the Lord this night."
This is all legend, and the earliest the saying appears in print is 1822, found in A Treatise on Prayer, by Edward Bickersteth as a telling of the Bradford story.
I have thought of this phrase and spoken it a few hundred times in my life. My worry is that I use the phrase much like we in the southern US say, "bless their heart." The phrase sounds nice and kind, but really carries the subtext of "they are just not intelligent enough to pour water out a bucket, with the directions on the bottom."
My challenge is to not just lament the plight, or lot in life of a fellow traveler; instead, to show grace to whoever i think or say that of.
As a follower of Christ, I need to put boots to my words, flesh to my thoughts, and actions to my intentions. To simply see someone in need of grace and notice is like looking in the mirror and noticing that i am overweight. If no action follow, I stay fat. If i see that someone needs grace and do nothing...then he or she still needs grace.
I pray that I realize that God has determined to use me as an extension of His grace and love to others. I pray that the church, the bride of Christ, realizes that we are here to advance the circle of grace, love and invitation to each person that we meet.
I am thankful for the people who saw me in need of grace, and stepped in and offered.

The guy on the fence.
If you have ever been to a High School football game, then you have seen them. The guys who are in their late 20's to 40's standing by the fence near one end zone or another. These guys gather around and gauge how this years team stacks up to the year that they played. This video I think describes what it is that these men are seeking.

Tim Tebow, the bandwagon, and 3:16
Tim Tebow threw for 316 yards this past Sunday in a football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also averaged 31.6 yards per completed pass (an NFL record).
The stats coupled with Mr Tebow's open profession of faith in Jesus Christ has prompted many different writers to make the connection to John 3:16. I can understand the allure of such a connection.
John 3:16 is one of the most well known verses of the Bible in America. It is probably quoted as often as "judge not lest ye be judged."
However, I would like to point out that the majority of the books in the Bible have chapter and verse 3:16.
Start with Genesis, the first book in the Bible:
To the woman he said,
"I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you." (Genesis 3:16 NIV)
Maybe that is the message God would want us to take away from the alignment of stat to scripture connection?
Or it could be this passage:
The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the Lord's. (Leviticus 3:16 NIV). This verse is a part of a description of offerings that were a staple of the Israelite worship in the Old Testament. Maybe God is using Tebow to spur us to a better physical fitness level so we can all glorify God in athletic ways? Ok, maybe not.
But what about:
Now Ehud had made a double-edged sword about a cubit long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. (Judges 3:16 NIV)
And I saw something else under the sun:
In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,
in the place of justice—wickedness was there. (Ecclesiastes 3:16 NIV).
The Lord says,
"The women of Zion are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles. (Isaiah 3:16 NIV)
Could be that the message intended was for us to read from a book with the same first name as Tebow...
Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:
He appeared in the flesh,
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory. (1 Timothy 3:16 NIV)
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16 NIV)
Maybe the point is to handle ourselves day in and day out so that when others ridicule us we have comfort...
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. (1 Peter 3:16 NIV)
You know it could be to draw our hearts to the other John 3:16:
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. (1 John 3:16 NIV)
It could even be to let us know about the judgment of those who are half-hearted found in the last book of the Bible Revelation 3:16
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
I am not insightful enough to tell you exactly what the message should or should not be. I know that God would not be offended were you to explore the other verses numbered 3:16. I know that God is probably pleased with Tim Tebow not because he is a winner at football, but because he loves God and loves others.
Hope you find this helpful,
simply HIS,

Not a thumping gizzard.
First I would like for you to go and read this post by a woman I know as Jamie the Very Worst Missionary.
Now then. Here is my response to her post.
Distant. Angry. Frustrated. Driven. Workaholic. Crude. Bastard. Jerk. Jock. Checked out.
Layers upon layers of names have been given to men over the course of their lives. Crybaby. Queer. Punk. Sissy. Useless. Quitter. Failure.
Over and over again, the lies wash over our identity hammering at who we really are. Denying what is the truest about us. That we were created to bear an image, to reign over all created things, to stand up to the adversary that seeks to ensnare and destroy the truth about you and me.
And it has damn near worked.
There is a voice that speaks other words, gives other descriptions...
Son. Warrior. Lover. King. Mighty one. Kinsman, Redeemer. Brother. Husband. Father. Friend.
A voice that cries out from the dirt and the rocks. A voice that whispers through the breeze of a summer evening. A voice that sings with the birds and the thunder. A voice that stirs a place deep within my heart. A voice that knows the truth laying beneath the rubble.
Strong. Honorable. Worthy. Enduring. Protector. Defender. Rescuer.
The reason our hearts need guarding is that they are the most valuable thing we have been given. The heart is the place of true reason and faith. The heart bears eternity and is the stronghold of our true name. The name that was spoken to us before the sands of time began. The name that we were crafted to carry with honor and courage.
Jamie, thank you for the reminder Dear One.
I would like for you to join this thread and comment. To hear your story as well, either on this blog or on Jamie's.
God Bless you and speak to you your true name.

What's that sound?
My friend Ken Holsberry taught on Sodom this past Wednesday night. Here were some thoughts from his lesson.
Sin has a sound. Genesis 18:16-33; Isaiah 59:4. Is there anyone to intercede?
God hears the shouts of the abused, mistreated and tortured.
He hears the moans of poverty, and the cries of the hungry.
What does my sin sound like to God?
Why can I not hear it? Do I ignore it?
Abraham stepped in between God and Sodom to bargain for their life. (Gen 18:22-32)
Paul would go to hell to save his countrymen. Moses bargained for the lives of the Israelites.
They all loved someone who was going to be destroyed. Do we love any who are in danger? Do we love those caught in their sin?
God hears the deafening sound of sin.
During the triumphal parade like entry into Jerusalem, Jesus stopped and wept over the city for the destruction to come. The Christ begged they be forgiven from the cross and he desires that all would come and repent and be redeemed
From their lives of brokenness.
God is a justifier.
God is a healer.
God is a restorer.
God will not turn a deaf ear, will you?
simply HIS,

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Bonnabel is a decent school. The education is acceptable and if your child seems more advanced than most others, they can easily switch to all honors classes. Switching classess is very easy and the couselors are quite generous. The teachers are experenced and good educators. There are deans patroling the school at all times so the area is secure. The school size is very big. There are plenty of students and plenty of space for them. It's almost like a mini college, thining about the size. There's a 50 minute lunch where you may wonder around outdoors and eat in- or outside. There's four periods, lunch being between second and third. The school is overall acceptable.
This school offers a great overall HS experience. I was impressed with the Freshman orientation. It was informative. There are plenty of clubs and sports teams available. There are programs that encourage your children to attend college. The Principal and staff truly care about the children. The school has great school pride. The test scores are fairing decent versus the district overall. Oh, and there is a clinic on-site!....and its free!
At first I never thought Bonnabel would be such a great school, but now being a Freshman I can say this school is probably one of the most spirited oriented High Schools in Jefferson Parish. I'm proud to be a Bruin!!
It is the only high school in Kenner and the staff does a good job.
this school is not good at all. they have too may free periods and they teachers and dean focus too much on the students apperance
thiis shool is the best i have ever went to and it teachs the kids well. it also have greateducation levels
Its been a great year for me with all the teachers and the principal really trying to make a diffrence in us.
Its like a home to me. Sophomore and loving it. 2 more and planning on spending the rest there.
Going to be a great school from 2008- so on. I really am having fun there.
My experience as a Bonnable High School student was quite unpleasant. Most teachers were very lazy and authoritarian. More emphasis is put on enforcing uniform rules than in actually teaching something. There is little place for personal expression. Overall, this school has failed its purpose.
My son has said that he likes A. Bonnabel school better than his previous school. He has had to change schools due to the permit issue. His grades have been A's and B's in all classes!
Great school all around...caring teachers, student diversity. No. 1 in Jefferson Parish.
Did not enforce rules for certain students. Did not treat students equally. Felt there was reverse discrimination at this school. Could have done more to counsel those kids who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. Kids were allowed to smoke in parking lot (witnessed with my own eyes). Buses were extremely unreliable and many days never showed up in the morning or the afternoon. This caused a huge safety and inconvenience issue with my family.
I went to Bonnabel for 5 years from August 1999 until May 2004 when I graduated. Bonnabel is a good school in almost every way possible. It has good education, good sports, and caring teachers. There just needs to be better discipline.
Bonnabel High School has the most ethnic and cultural diversity of any schools in the surrounding area. This helps to prepare students for the adult job market more than most other schools. The teaching staff is genuinely concerned with the welfare and educations of their students. Discipline is upheld and student safety is a high priority on Bonnabel's campus. Also, the Foreign Language and Gifted/Talented programs at Bonnabel are exceptional. If your child is interested in learning French, then he/she is in luck because Ms. Bedoucha is by far the most caring and inspirational teacher I have ever the pleasure of knowing.
In reference to the June 2004 comment regarding Vocational curriculum at Bonnabel: There is a growing need for vocational curriculum due to the need of students in the community who have plans to enter the industrial/trade, business/commercial, and health fields who do not plan to attend a 4-year College or University. It is our duty as professionals to design curriculum that meets the need of those students. Bonnabel has a highly-trained staff in the Gifted and Talented Program and is still providing quality instruction, designed to prepare the gifted student for their prospective careers. Therefore, we encourage our gifted students to continue to have the faith in the progressive design of our current curriculum and schedule.
Bonnabel is one of the most talented, extraordinary schools my son has ever attended. I recently moved from New York because of a job. First I sent him to Grace King. He didn't like the neglegant attitude of the teachers and the strictness of the administration. When I visited I even found some sense of racism so, I sent my son to Bonnabel. He says he has the time of his life. He says the teachers are nice and they attually pay attention to the students. While in new York, my sons grades were low. After sending him Bonnabel his grades have remarkably improved. I have to say, if your child stays in Metairie you should send he/she to Bonnabel!
I go to Bonnabel and I will probably be the 2005 valedictorian. I love Bonnabel. Although, some people give a not so excellent reputation, you still have, as at every school, intelligent people who want to succeed at school and in life. I think that, especially if your child is smart, you should send him/her to Bonnabel It will teach him/her to focus, but he/she will have a lot of fun. He/she will also receive personal attention and respect from the faculty. Bruin pride! Black, white, gold!
I was once a student at Bonnabel High School, and now my children are. Bonnabel has always held a certain level of excellence, and I still see that today. My children have become bright, shining young adults, that have their eyes set on the goals that their teachers place before them. I am proud to say that my children, and I am proud bruins, and down the road, I am sure that my children will send their children to Bonnabel as well. To the staff at BHS, congradulations on a job well done!!! your care and concern for our children are not to be exceeded by any other!! bruin pride!
I think Bonnabel High School is a great school with a well trained staff. This school not only give thier student the core skills they need they also provide trades for the student so that they have job skill when they leave Bonnabel. We must face that not all student are college bounded and many of time school leave those students behind not giving them other options, but I think Bonnabel is doing a great job by making sure they meet all of their students needs.

- Good for Business LunchPaulVIPDined on 11/20/2014Have been a couple of time, this time the food was good, not outstanding but good. Service is a bit of a rough spot, somewhat slow and sporadic. The restaurant did not seem to be overly busy so not sure why, and as I recall from my first visit service was similar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kmacDined on 10/29/2014Very cool spot but the entrees weren't what we expected... The apps were great and the beer list was extensive but I would just stick to a burger next time around.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/9/2014The food was excellent and the service was great. I did find it rather loud. We were there after work and it seems to be a place where people meet after work and it gets loud as does the music. We were sitting in the dining room and it was hard to hear each other talk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Burgers are AWESOME!bearhillboxfordDined on 10/5/2014Brought 9 people on Sunday 10/6 after the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. We were seated promptly, server was attentive to our needs and 9 out of 10 of us ordered a hamburger; one broiled cod (delicious). They were cooked in a decent time and all cooked exactly as ordered and everyone loved them. Fries didn't taste like re-heats, even the pickles were delish! Reasonable price and it was quiet enough that we could all talk to each other. I would highly recommend Central Wharf.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bland, bland, blandWellfedDined on 9/29/2014In looking at the menu, I thought that this is a place I could come to many nights in a row. However, everything that we ordered was extremely bland. Asking for hot sauce and getting Tabasco is a cop-out - come on....you can do better.
- Nice looking but sub par foodKingSizeVIPDined on 9/11/2014First off new bartender didn't know how mix drinks, both we're terrible so my wife & I ordered wine. Tuna poke had canned pineapple that tasted like the syrup in the can.
- Fabulous mealAllissaDined on 8/10/2014I had a lovely early dinner here on a Sunday evening. Straight off a whale watch, my teenaged nieces and I were super hungry. We were seated right away, at a great table by an open window (the street is not at all noisy). Everything was really fast, but not rushed. We got our drinks quickly, and our appetizer and meals were not far behind. Our server was fabulous, the food was delicious, and there was a great variety. We had fish tacos and fish and chips and ribs (for my non-seafood niece) that fell off the bone. I would go back to Central Warf Company in a heartbeat.Special Features:
- Right in the mix of BostonNanZVIPDined on 8/5/2014We chose Central Wharf because it was close to our hotel and near Fanuel Hall. We liked the big window openings but were seated at an inside table, which was probably better since some smokers walk by the openings. Food was great and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. Chowder was amazing!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/3/2014I went with my boyfriend on a Sunday night for an early-ish dinner. We had a nice table near an open window and our waitress was super friendly and on top of things. We started with the mussels, which were very tasty. I then had the pear and walnut salad and my boyfriend had the black and bleu flatbread. We both enjoyed our meals. The ambiance was a little odd, though. The restaurant wasn't all that busy, so it was rather quiet and we could hear the conversations of the people next to us. I'll chalk that up to being 6:30 on a Sunday night.I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 18 reviews are from the Central Wharf Company reviews archive.
- Nice Spot for Business LunchPaulVIPDined on 7/29/2014Enjoyable, Gastro-Pub level food, a range of options with intersting twist, a decent wine and beer selection. The open window table seating is a nice touch. They did a great job with renovations and site is a long way from it's former Jose McIntyres daysSpecial Features:
- First time eating here - good lunchBostonEaterDined on 7/3/2014I went to Central Wharf with six other co-workers for someone's last-day-at-work lunch. I got the "Pear & Walnut" salad for $10 which was very good. Other people's orders included crab cakes, pulled pork sandwich, pulled pork pizza, and caesar salad. Everyone seemed very happy with their meals. It is definitely on the pricey side for lunch, but the food was good and I like the way the restaurant is setup (much better than the restaurant that last inhabited the building - they changed a lot!).Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/5/2014food was only OK. Cocktails were limited and not very good. Oysters were small.
- Open Table PointsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/28/2014Although I loved the restaurant, the service and my meal, I was disappointed that I did not receive Open Table dining points for this reservation. I was told by the hostess there that she thought I would receive them, but for some reason I did not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must see in BostonReviewsbyMoDined on 5/17/2014Great food, atmosphere and service. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love look; work on everything elseChristyNDined on 5/16/2014I was really excited to see what they did with the old Jose McIntyre's. The upstairs bar and seating is the place to be; open air with big windows, a nice nautical theme and sizable bar. Service started off strong, but then dropped way off once the whole party was present. It wasn't nearly at capacity. We also had a server swap which slowed down service. The appetizers were pretty good (I liked their version of a wings appetizer) but the entree salad of popcorn shrimp and kale was disappointing. Just clumps of pre-breaded, fried shrimp on a bed of raw, bagged kale. Despite the by-the-sea theme, they were also out of oysters. I'd stick to getting happy hour drinks and apps here to enjoy the ambiance, and move on for dinner.Special Features:
- Great food and atmosphereChristinaDined on 4/25/2014I went to Central Wharf two times in one week, that's how much I liked it! Dimly lit which gives it a nice vibe, spacious, not overly crowded, and great food (try the seared tuna sandwich and the three beet salad... yum!).Special Features:
- Tasty food & lively atmosphereMarkDined on 3/19/2014The food is delicious and the menu offers a variety of options depending on what you're in the mood for. Atmosphere is lively and sometimes they have an awesome musician. Would definitely recommend to a friend, service was great too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Central wharfAnneBDined on 3/8/2014We picked this as part of our visit to Frost Bar. We walked in and were seated immediately - a little before our reservation. Waitress was attentive. The clams casino flatbread was delicious. As was the chicken dish I ordered. Within walking distance from Faneil Hall. Would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Post- Jose MacsSH89VIPDined on 3/1/2014The manager and the waitstaff were nice enough, but it doesn't make up for the first three things we ordered off of the menu that they were out of (beer and raw bar). When you have 2 items on your raw bar menu, you should probably be in stock with both items. It's decorated very similarly to Granary Tavern next door. Nice decor, bad chicken sandwiches, and limited menu especially with out of stock items.
- good new placeBobibosVIPDined on 2/21/2014restaurant was nice - drinks were huge and tasty...menu looked great. Food was nice looking and portion sizes were good, but flavors were very bland. We had an 8pm reservation, got seated right away...food was prompt as was service - but the waitress sort of rushed us to pay since her shift was over, which was strange bc we weren't there for that long. Even in the restaurant part, don't sit anywhere near the door/windows...very drafty /cold. I would go back, given the location, drinks and menu options. I would give it another shot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TruthfulFoodieVIPDined on 2/20/2014We were seated in the back room and waited for 20 minutes before leaving. Not one server approached the table. Menu had food all over it. This survey makes you answer the food question or it will not process the review, so I had to make up that answer.Special Features:
- PerfectOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/15/2014Excellent food, friendly staff and reasonable prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeDiooooonDined on 2/14/2014Would never know this place used to be Jose macs. Place is completely different. We went for valentines day. Had a great night, great food, great wine, and awesome service. I got a surf and turf with steak and a lobster tail. Bomb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentines Day EveningNathanDined on 2/14/2014Service was great. For the price the food was outstanding. Fixed price menu: 3 Courses for 2 for less than 100 dollars including a bottle of wine. Raw oysters were fresh. Had the surf and turf entree, the filet was perfect, the lobster tail was small and somewhat overcooked, sides were good. Dessert for two: "chocolate covered strawberries" was a big bowl of lemon sorbet with one strawberry, they must have been running low by that time in the evening but whatever, food was good enough overall to make up for it. Great little place, will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentines dayOutoftownerVIPDined on 2/14/2014They had a great deal but the food was just okay. Service and atmosphere were nice!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great building, nice staff,OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 2/8/2014great building, nice staff, and outstanding food - the tuna nachos are a must!Special Features:
- So Good!CMCGDined on 2/1/2014I still cant get over how great the food was. We ordered a bunch of apps and first course options... unreal. For dinner, I ordered the Startler Chicken and expected it to be half full of bone it was so big... was certainly not. It was the tastiest, juiciest chicken I have ever had. Everyone else in our party really loved their food. It was a shame it wasn't busier. That place should be packed every night with the quality of food it produced. The bar was a bit slow with getting our server our drinks but, it has amazing potential. The beer selection was incredible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Audubon has expanded its protection of one of the most important habitat complexes for migrating sandhill and whooping cranes through the purchase of approximately 590 acres on the Platte River.
The acquired property is situated in the center of Audubon's Lillian Annette Rowe Bird Sanctuary, which was established in 1974 to protect habitat for migrating cranes, waterfowl, and birds on the Platte River.
Bill Taddicken, Director at the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary, emphasized that Audubon purchased the property at appraised value according to their organizational policies, and property taxes will continue to be paid. Funding came from several places including the Nebraska Environmental Trust Fund, J.A. Woollam Foundation, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Walmart's Acres for America program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Section VI funds from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, North America Wetland Conservation Act Funds from Ducks Unlimited, private foundations, and private donors.
The purchase will bring the total acres protected at Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary to just over 2,800 acres. Audubon plans to restore wetlands on the property and increase grassland diversity through prescribed grazing, burning, and other management techniques. They will also be working to remove invasive tree and plant species.
The Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary is dedicated to the conservation of the Platte River and the birds that rely on it. Located along the Platte River south of Gibbon, Nebraska, the sanctuary is open year-round and features hands-on nature education programs for children and adults.

15 People Stoked About Gas Prices

Ornery Cuss
I agree, the answer wasn't jail: I read with great interest your story about Donald Thweatt [Bruce Rushton, "Hard Luck, Hard Times," RFT, March 28]. I worked as a corrections officer at the jail for seven years leaving in October. I was assigned the eighth floor, maximum security and the infirmary for most of my employment. I am very familiar with Mr. Thweatt. We never knew what the day would bring with him. Black officers were referred to as "nigger," "porch monkey," "spook," etc. Females were called "nigger bitch" and "black bitch." White officers were treated no better. "Fuck you, bastard," was how the staff was addressed. He would lie in his cell and piss on himself, refusing to get up and go to the bathroom. He ruined numerous mattresses, which, of course, are paid for by the taxpayers. He had that whole area smelling like a barn.
I don't dispute Mr. Thweatt's brain injury, but he also knew what he was doing and could be very ornery. When on duty in the infirmary, I went to his room and told him to prepare for the nurse, who is a lady in her 60s. When we arrived at his room, he had his pants down with his buttocks spread, exposing his anus. We were subject to this kind of nonsense on a daily basis.
Once I and another officer attempted to count his write-ups. We stopped somewhere around 60. I estimate he has been the most trouble of anyone in the history of the St. Louis County Jail. Many times I listened to him cry, and at times I actually felt sorry for him and bent over backward to help him.
I was very surprised that Mr. Thweatt was acquitted on the charges pertaining to the assault on Officer [Michael] Sullens. I did not witness the assault, but I was in the unit control area when he came out, and he appeared injured to me. Were any of the witnesses to the attack called to testify? There would have been reports from all of the officers involved, including supervisors. Were these reports submitted? What about the medical reports? How was he acquitted?
Mr. Thweatt's claims of staff abuse are false. If anyone was abused, it was us. The administration of St. Louis County is strict as to how the jail is run. That kind of behavior is not allowed. We actually have to address inmates as "Mr." or "Miss."
I think his story is sad, and it was amazing to see pictures of him when he was well. It is like he is a completely different person. I don't know what the answer is, but I agree that it is not jail.

Reading is fundamental:It seems that the people who are handling Don Thweatt's case, especially in jail, understand that the problem is in his brain, but they don't understand that his brain is also the solution. They have a highly intelligent man on their hands who wants desperately to learn -- it's pretty obvious from reading your article that every time Thweatt gets out of jail or the hospital, he signs up for a class.
While his behavior problems are not of the kind to ever completely go away, and he does need nursing care, it seems that part of the answer might be encouraging him to spend as much free time as possible reading whatever he can get his hands on -- at least when he's reading the Bible, he's not hurting himself or anyone else, and if people encouraged him to learn, they might find he appreciates the respect. I hope that he is not routed to more jail time, though his hospitalization or institutionalization sounds like a necessity.

Vision and Guts
RCGA needs to get on the ball: I am in agreement that the RCGA in St. Louis has unique methods of calculating numbers, as well as operating their "business" [Safir Ahmed, "Fuzzy Math," RFT, March 21]. The RCGA has been after all of my businesses with one of the strongest sales departments in St. Louis, trying to raise membership dues, which it utilizes to pay for parties and hobnobbing with politicians. They have very little concern for St. Louis businesses that are driving revenue into our city and county unless it serves them politically.
They need to lower the amount of board members they have, as no real business could operate with as many members as they have without being deadlocked or stalemated by indecision. They also need to lobby companies such as Anheuser-Busch and Ralston, as well as the government, to put capital into emerging companies in St. Louis. If we want our city to be a life-science hub with no technology industry, the RCGA is doing a fine job. Otherwise, fire Dick Fleming and put someone with some vision and guts into the job.
Peter Roberts
President, Telibrick Networks
Taking advantage of the peasants: In reference to the article "Fuzzy Math," correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the way the government has always done math? If this article was supposed to shock us, we are way past that! Every day we hear atrocities of how those who are entrusted with our hard-earned tax dollars manipulate them to serve the chosen, to benefit the rich and to line their own pockets. The problem doesn't really lie in the political crooks, it lies in the taxpayers who refuse to see what is going on!

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Living on a fixed income, Marta Millikan looked to her cell phone bill to trim her budget. She dropped to a less costly plan with T-mobile, but her bill actually increased. She went through her bill line by line and noticed a charge for "premium services."
"I called T-mobile and asked them 'Could you please explain to me these premium services?' He says, 'Well you've got ring tones and you've got quiz time.'" Millikan explained to CALL FOR ACTION.
The charges and taxes added up to almost 30 dollars extra on her bill.
"They said, 'You must have gone on the Internet and clicked on something.' I said, 'I assure you. I did not go on the Internet and click on anything.' And then they gave me these 877 numbers to call Malaysia," said Millikan.
After struggling to get a refund, Marta called CALL FOR ACTION for help.
"That 30 dollars is money in my gas tank, food in the refrigerator, gas to go pick up my granddaughter from school," said Millikan.
What happened to her is something called "cramming." The Florida Attorney General received so many complaints about "cramming" on bills, He took action against T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.
In July of this year, T-mobile and the attorney general reached an agreement.
It says T-mobile will issue credits and refunds to customers for unauthorized charges and provide a clear notice to customers of about refunds for those charges.
So we contacted T-mobile about what happened. They researched the situation and found Marta had two months of unauthorized charges. They say this was an isolated incident and their customer service representatives have been educated about the settlement. They did refund two months of charges to Marta's bill.
Marta was thrilled, "I say God bless Call for Action. You guys are great!"
If you are a T-mobile, AT&T or Verizon customer, your provider has an same agreement with the Florida Attorney General. Look at your bill, and if you see those charges ask for a refund.
To read the settlement agreement with T-mobile, click here.
To read the settlement agreement with AT&T, click here.
To read the settlement agreement with Verizon, click here.
If your provider will not give you a refund, you can file a complaint online by clicking here. You can also call the Florida Attorney General by dialing 1-866-966-7226
If you are customer of Sprint, the Attorney General still has pending action against your provider.
How do you keep your phone from being crammed? Make sure you protect your cell phone number like your social security number. Don't give it out on sites you don't trust on the Internet or use it to sign up for contests. Some providers also allow you to block downloads to your phone. You can also register your cell phone number on the National Do Not Call list. You can find a link by clicking here.

California Assemblyman Mike Gatto has introduced Bill 1658, which could eventually return three kinds of vintage license plates to California roads: yellow and black plates from the mid 1950s, black and yellow plates from the 1960s – such as the sample 1963 plate pictured – and blue and yellow plates from the '70s.
The initiative is called the Legacy License Plate Program, but before you collectors and period-correct enthusiasts salivate over – or lament – the possibilities, it has a few hurdles to clear. First, the bill has to be passed when its put to a vote on April 9, which is expected. Then it would only come into effect after 2,500 people had signed up for the plates, assuming that the DMV did its math correctly and had enough money to pay for it. Finally, once all of that got checked off, the program would begin in 2014.
Current regulations mean that in California, the license plate has almost always lived with the car since new, so if you see a black plate on a 1966 Corvair, then that tag was minted the same year as that Chevrolet. The plates will be updated to modern standards, e.g., reflective paint, so they won't look just like the old timers, but we figure vintage-minded owners won't be fussed at all.

Xenakis 15 Oct 2012 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Mali militants may be responsible for 'accidental' shooting of Mauritania's president A Nato invasion of Syria becomes increasingly plausible Syria's chemical weapons revive the debate of Iraq's WMDs Mali militants may be responsible for 'accidental' shooting of Mauritania's president Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz (Reuters) Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz is recovering from a gunshot wound in a Paris hospital on Sunday where he was flown after he was "accidentally" shot by a Mauritanian army unit that misidentified his automobile convoy. However, unnamed security sources say that the attacker was an unknown gunman who "directly targeted" Aziz. Aziz is considered an ally of France in the war against Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), and has been targeted by AQIM in the past. His support is considered essential in the looming fight to recover northern Mali from al-Qaeda linked terrorists. AFP A Nato invasion of Syria becomes increasingly plausible Turkey's armored vehicles deployed to the Syrian border early this month (AA) With American, British and Turkish troops and military equipment massing on the borders of Syria, the possibility of a joint military action in Syria by all three Nato members appears to be increasingly plausible. 150 American troops are in Jordan to help train the Jordanians learn how to defend against a chemical weapons attack from Syria, if one occurs. On the Syrian border farther north, British military officers are assessing how to defend Jordan from rockets that are constantly falling from across the border. On Turkey's border with Syria, Turkish forces have been exchanging fire with Syrians, and officials have threatened more robust action if the shelling from Syria into Turkey doesn't stop. Gulf News / AP Syria's chemical weapons revive the debate of Iraq's WMDs A major ideological battle is starting to erupt over the question of whether Syria's chemical weapons were sent from Iraq by Saddam Hussein just prior to the American ground invasion in 2003. It's known that Iraq had WMDs in the 1980s and 1990s, and most intelligence services around the world believed that Saddam continued to do so in 2003. It was fear and anxiety of Saddam's WMDs that triggered the 2003 ground invasion. (See "The Iraq war may be related to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki." from 2008.) But the ground invasion failed to find any WMDs, leading to an ideological argument over whether the intelligence reports should have been believed. (This is an ironic discussion, since if it hadn't been for the ground invasions, we presumably still wouldn't know whether Saddam was developing more WMDs, and we, Iran and Israel would be totally panicked about the possibility.) So the question of what happened to Saddam's WMDs has never been answered. One theory is that Saddam sent them to Syria, placing them under the control of Syria's president Bashar al-Assad. James Clapper, the current Director of National Intelligence in the Obama administration, wrote in October 2003 that he believed, based on classified satellite imagery, that Saddam had sent the WMDs to Syria, and perhaps to other countries as well. These may be part of the chemical weapons stockpiles that al-Assad has today. It's known that al-Assad is developing other WMDs, particularly after the Israeli Air Force destroyed Syria's nuclear facility in September 2007. So the whole situation is full of ironies. The only reason we know for sure that Saddam didn't have WMDs is because of the 2003 ground invasion. But now we don't know what happened to the WMDs that he previously had, or whether he transferred them to Syria.
