The erstwhile Raging Bull weighed in on President Barack Obama during an interview with Du Jour Magazine. Rather than hold the leader accountable for an array of broken promises, a malnourished recovery and one foreign relations stumble after another, the actor simply said the president is "trying." He's a good person, period," he says. "He's trying his best. He's going to do things that people feel are not right or violating one right or another. But at the end of the day, he represents, I think, the best of the type of people that I would like to see running the government. He has to play that game, the political game. They all do. They make statements they can't honor because they're impossible to honor. Once you get into that Washington machinery, you've just got to figure it out and swim against the current and grab onto this rock and that, and just try to maintain your course.

In comedy, a dick joke, penis joke, balls joke, cock joke or (in British slang) a knob joke is a joke that makes either an indirect or a direct reference to a human penis, also less commonly used as an umbrella term for dirty jokes. The famous quote from Mae West, "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?" is cited as an example of a penis joke. Attitudes towards dick jokes vary.[citation needed]
The impact of this kind of joke, as with most humor, rests with the unspoken connotation, specifically in this joke set in a class in medical school:[1]
"A professor gives his psychology class a spot quiz. One question he asks is, "What part of the human anatomy may expand up to ten times under certain circumstances?" He picks a rather overdressed girl in the front row to answer it. "Miss Callahan!" The indicated girl, who heard the question, stammers with some embarrassment: "Professor, I'd rather not answer that question." The professor says, "That's all right, Miss Callahan, you don't need to answer it. Is there anyone present who can answer it?" He notes an interested face in the back of the classroom. "Mr. Hawkins!" Hawkins says, "Yes, Professor, it is the pupil of the eye that may expand to ten times." The professor says, "That is correct, Mr. Hawkins." Then he turns to Miss Callahan. He says, "Young lady, two things are obvious from your reaction to this question. One, you haven't studied this week's assignment; and Two, I'm afraid marriage is going to be a tremendous disappointment to you."

• Tom Hardy (Inception) is in early talks to join Johnny Depp (who is now officially signed on again) in the Whitey Bulger pic Black Mass. Hardy would play FBI Agent John Connolly, a childhood friend of Bulger's who gets in trouble when he reveals inside information to Bulger about an impending indictment. Scott Cooper (Out of the Furnace, Crazy Heart) recently agreed to direct the film. [Deadline]
Casting Net: Johnny Depp exits gangster pic 'Black Mass'; Plus, Forest Whitaker may play Martin Luther King, Jr., more
• Johnny Depp is a busy man. He's got a major summer release on the horizon with The Lone Ranger, he's filming Wally Pfister's Transcendence, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is expected to start shooting in January, and he's also gearing up for Disney's adaptation of Into the Woods. But, the actor did decide to exit the Barry Levinson-directed Whitey Bulger biopic Black Mass, reportedly due to a salary cut asked of Depp, who had been circling the project for some time and officially committed in late February 2013. Joel Edgerton (Zero Dark Thirty) recently joined Black Mass to play an FBI agent who is close with Bulger. Cross Creek Pictures has not yet announced a replacement. [THR] READ FULL STORY
Casting Net: Johnny Depp commits to 'Black Mass' and Pfister's 'Transcendence'; Plus, Tom Hardy in PTSD film, and Bradley Cooper
• Johnny Depp fans, get excited. The actor has committed to his next two projects: Wally Pfister's sci-fi thriller Transcendence, and Barry Levinson's Whitey Bulger biopic Black Mass, both of which he'd been circling for a while. Transcendence will be the directorial debut for Pfister, an Oscar-winning cinematographer (for Inception in 2011), who has been Christopher Nolan's go-to since Memento. The details of the project remain sparse, but the logline teases that the film is about a scientist who has his brain uploaded into a computer. Depp will go straight from Transcendence to Black Mass, based on the true crime book Black Mass: The Irish Mob, The FBI and A Devil's Deal by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. Depp will portray the real-life former Boston mob boss and FBI informant, Whitey Bulger, who is still very much alive. [Variety]
• Tom Hardy is set to develop and star in the post traumatic stress disorder drama Samarkand, about a British soldier attempting to readjust to society after serving in the Middle East. Photographer Greg Williams wrote the script with his brother Olly, and will make his feature debut directing the project. Williams directed Hardy in the short film Sergeant Slaughter, My Big Brother (available here) about a man (Hardy) who decides to run away to join the French Foreign League. [Deadline]
• Best Actor nominee Bradley Cooper has committed to producing and starring in an English-language remake of the 2011 German film Kokowääh. He's also reportedly considering whether or not to direct the project. The original film was directed by and starred Til Schweiger (Hugo Stiglitz in Inglorious Basterds) as a writer who discovers that he has an 8-year-old daughter. The film follows his work, his burgeoning relationship with his daughter (and her foster father), and his attempts to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend and writing partner. The script is currently undergoing a re-write. [Deadline]

Johnny Depp to play Whitey Bulger in 'Black Mass'
Johnny Depp is attached to play notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger in director Barry Levinson's Black Mass. Bulger — South Boston's most violent criminal who used his political connections and became an FBI informant to protect his turf — was the inspiration for Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed, and he was captured in June 2011 after 16 years of being on the Fed's Most Wanted List.

text: Oklahoma beat 72-47 by No. 17 Gonzaga Print article Send a Tip AP 11/24/2012 3:59:56 AM (AP) Oklahoma beat 72-47 by No. 17 GonzagaBy MARK DIDTLERAssociated PressLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger hopes his team gained some valuable knowledge from a tough loss to Gonzaga.Elias Harris scored 18 points and No. 17 Gonzaga beat Oklahoma 72-47 in a semifinal matchup Friday night at the Old Spice Classic.The Sooners were outrebounded 51-24."Gonzaga did a terrific job in dictating pretty much in every way," Kruger said. "Anytime you get whipped that badly on the boards, you know they were a lot more physical, a lot more aggressive to loose balls. It's a terrific learning opportunity for us, and we've got to get that from it. Otherwise it's a waste of time. So we've got to learn from it."Kelly Olynyk, Gary Bell Jr., Kevin Pangos and Przemek Karnowski each had eight points for Gonzaga (5-0).Romero Osby led Oklahoma (3-1) with 13 points, and Isaiah Cousins had 10.The Sooners shot 32 percent (16 of 50)."We were sped up because of Gonzaga's defense and didn't shoot with good rhythm or pace," Kruger said. "You could say, well, we just missed shots, but Gonzaga had something to do with that."Gonzaga will play Davidson, which beat West Virginia 63-60, in the championship game Sunday night. Oklahoma will close out the tourney Sunday against the Mountaineers.Consecutive long-range jumpers by Bell and Harris, who also had slammed in a rebound, gave Gonzaga a 43-25 lead three minutes into the second half.Pangos' 3-pointer extended the Zags' lead to 53-31 with 12 minutes to play.Olynyk had an in-close basket and David Stockton scored on a layup as Gonzaga built a 59-34 lead midway through the second half."That was a really, really good win for us," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "We played really good. Got back to playing our style. We attacked on the offense end all night, and did another great job playing defense."Gonzaga got points from nine players _ led by Bell with five _ en route to a 32-22 halftime advantage.Stockton's fast-break layup in the final minute gave Gonzaga a 32-21 lead.Olynyk had a dunk and layup as Gonzaga went ahead 14-5.Oklahoma trailed just 14-8 despite going 2 for 15 from the field during the opening 10 1/2 minutes.Steven Pledger's jumper cut the Sooners' deficit to 18-13 with 8 minutes left in the half. Andrew Fitzgerald had a slam that got Oklahoma to 20-17 two minutes later.Pangos' jumper put Gonzaga up 25-19 four minutes before the intermission.The Zags, winners of the 2008 Old Spice Classic, have won all five games they have played in the tourney.

On the banks of the Nile sits the Ethiopian princess Aida. Enslaved by the Pharaoh, she longs in song for home and for her captors military commander, with whom she has fallen in love. Thus begins Verdis Aida. The popular opera has lent its Grand March to Europes football chants as well as Chumbawambas song Top of the World (Ole, Ole, Ole).
This season the Florida Grand Opera debuts with a new version of Aida, which will christen the Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts. No, its not the Disney-fied adaptation; this one is in Italian. The most exciting part of the performance is hearing Angela Brown, the soprano cast as Aida. Aida is a role that I am very comfortable singing. I love the pomp and circumstance of the whole opera, says Brown. Tickets range from $10 to $200. Showtime is 8:00 p.m. The production opens October 28 and runs through November 30. Call 800-741-1010, or visit www.fgo.org for a complete schedule.
Sat., Oct. 28, 7 p.m.; Wed., Nov. 1, 8 p.m.; Sat., Nov. 4, 8 p.m.; Tue., Nov. 7, 8 p.m.; Fri., Nov. 10, 8 p.m.; Sun., Nov. 12, 2 p.m.; Thu., Nov. 16, 8 p.m.; Sun., Nov. 19, 2 p.m.; Wed., Nov. 22, 8 p.m.; Sat., Nov. 25, 8 p.m.; Tue., Nov. 28, 8 p.m.; Thu., Nov. 30, 8 p.m.


text: Bear got it spot on, by 1570 when Scappi wrote Opera there were new world squashes in use, he has specific recipes for new world squash too. I did a class on the introduction of new world foods in Italian food about two years ago at Pennsic. It is available on the florilegium (Search under "time for change") and off my own website. http://www.geocities.com/helewyse/newworld.pdf What is most entertaining about the various recipes and descriptions of new world squash is that they are described as superior to the old world squash. I have grown and eaten snake gourd and in flavor and texture it has much more in common with summer squash (zucchini) than winter squash (say butternut or acorn or pumpkin). Mattioli says "They produce large seeds, like almonds, flat and white, and within is a meat which is sweet and gentle. They taste sweet and not bland like ours, but they are tasty without seasoning them with condiments and aromatic spices." Scappi also has a recipe for stuffed squash and says that you can make any dish that calls for "our" squash with this "turkish" squash. So in summary it depends which recipes from The Medieval Kitchen you are using, and which source the recipes originate from. The anonymous venetian or tuscan or Martino = old world squash, the 16th century sources such as Scappi and Libro Novo then it can be new world squash. Helewyse my 2c Bear wrote: Prior to the introduction of New World cucurbits, pumpkin referred to a similarly shaped gourd. The New World squashes replaced the Old World gourds during the 16th Century. Rocas wrote: I was recently perusing an on-line version of "The Medieval Kitchen" and I noticed several recipies that involved squash an pumpkin. I had always thought that squash was a new world food that did not reach Europe before the Renaisance. Was I wrong about that? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Luigi's in DC?
I am staying close to this venerable establishment that was recommended for inexpensive casual Italian. Is it worth a visit?
If you're in the mood for venerable inexpensive casual Italian that tastes pretty good, sure. But don't try for anything exotic. It's pizza, pasta, and cianti, best enjoyed with a few friends.
Pizza very good. Also a few of their appetizers are pretty tasty. I recall the italian sandwich (ham, genoa salmi, mortadella, provolone) was very nice.
Love this place. I actually always get pasta, not pizza. They have a good meat ravioli that reminds me of what my folks used to get in New York.
I agree, the ravioli is very good. I'm not a huge fan of Luigi's pizza though--too much cheese for me.
For low priced casual Italian, Osteria Galieleo is the best in DC. Another good alternative in the same neighborhood as Luigi's is Tosca which has a pre-theatre/early dinner menu for around $30 for three courses. Have been to Luigi's a couple times and have yet to be impressed, or even very happy with the food.
also, try to sit in the atrium area. I think it gets very warm in the main dining room that is closer to the kitchen.
I'll agree - Luigi's is good for casual Italian. nothing lasts this long in DC without being pretty good.
I recall my mother always touting the white pizza. Of course, she used to eat there during WWII, and "the old man," who lived in what used to be the apartment upstairs would hit on her (I imagine he was just being playful--my mother was quite thrilled by the attention).
I have always enjoyed my meals there, although it has been a while. And nobody has ever hit on me there.

I was appointed to the Champaign City Council in August of 2006 and was elected to Council in April 2007 and 2011. I serve as an at large member.
For background, prior to being selected for the City Council, I had the privilege to serve as an elected member of the Champaign County Board for 14 years, 4 of those years as the Vice-Chair. I understand how government works and the duties of serving as an elected official. I also own a small business: I am a local attorney and partner with the law firm of Tummelson, Bryan & Knox, LLP.
As an elected official I have supported balanced budgets, intergovernmental cooperation, smart growth/environmental issues, and business and economic development.
It is my belief that our Council has a duty to provide for City infrastructure needs, promote planned growth and economic development, and provide basic City services while living within its means. Over the years the Council has helped to transform our community into a place that people want to live. A place where people stay and want to raise their families.
My priorities include:
- embracing technology/transparency
- economic development
- continuing to support our downtown and midtown
- upgrading and renewing our neighborhoods
- partnering and cooperating with other local governmental bodies
- expansion of our fiber infrastructure
I am proud of our City Government and the services provided to the citizens of Champaign. I welcome the opportunity to give back to our community through public service. I want to work to continue the excellent progress our City has made in recent years.
Thank you for your past support. I hope I can count on you to support me in the future. Turnout for the elections will be extremely important. Please take the time to vote and to ask others around you to do the same. Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering for my campaign, putting up a yardsign, or supporting the campaign financially.
Thank you!

Holiday Concert with AcabellaWritten by Erin S on 09/10/2014
Sunday, December 7th at 5 p.m.
Join us in the Louise Parker Berry Community Room as we enjoy a mix of holiday tunes and pop music favorites from local a cappella group - Acabella.
About Acabella
Acabella was founded in 2001 by two friends who had recently moved to Darien and were eager to sing a cappella music, as they had done in college. The group was named Acabella, which combines the musical term, a cappella, which means unaccompanied by musical instruments, and bella, the Italian word for beautiful. The group is currently directed by Heather Raker, one of its founders, and Carolyn Woodberry, who has been singing with the group since its inception.
Acabella presently comprises 12 women from the Lower Fairfield County area. Membership in the group is by audition, including musical exercises and a solo performance. Members' musical backgrounds include singing in undergraduate and graduate a cappella groups and various choirs, as well as performing in musical theater, bands and coffeehouses (and the shower, of course!)
Refreshments will be served.
Additional parking for evening and weekend Library programs available on Thorndal Circle (behind Nielsen's).

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics have purchased the contract of pitcher Dan Otero from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday and optioned left-hander Hideki Okajima to the minors.
The moves come one day after the A's needed to go deep in their bullpen in an 18-inning win over the New York Yankees.
Otero was 1-0 with a 0.99 ERA with the River Cats and was 15 for 15 in save opportunities. The 28-year-old right-hander is with his third team this season, having also spent time with San Francisco and the Yankees.
Okajima had a 2.25 ERA in five games with the A's since getting called up on May 17.

Mice Feel Nice (In My Room) Lyrics - Guided By Voices
I won't put that in my mouth no
It is a fright with that neon light
The Hollywood magic men
Back up in their caves
Ooh at the raves
And the ??cake ?? can't say
The weepers from the way
Baby it's all right
The night is long and cold as ice
But it's all right, baby it's all right
There's a pink little area
The regions of my disease
And it is good
It is good
Mice feel nice
Ooh mice feel nice
You know mice feel nice ooh

Nostalgia Film was my favorite part of our wedding, they're artists! They captured every moment of our day and were so comfortable and friendly to be around. We chose the Super8mm package and the final product is more than we could have imagined, it is so beautiful. My only regret is not choosing a package with more film hours, it is completely worth the investment and I would recommend Nostalgia to everyone

Shanna and Michael were awesome to work with! Very easy to coordinate with pre-event and post with questions, changing addresses, etc. My husband and I went with a combination 8mm and HD video package, which was such a cool service option! The older style film fit so well with our concept and style, but we got the clarity and intelligibility of the HD for the really important moments. They put together several videos for us, all available online and hard copy. I would definitely recommend this dynamic duo to friends and family!

I cannot say enough great things about Nostalgia Film! Shanna and Michael are true artists at what they do and are extremely personable. They were actually recommended to me by my photographer and I am so glad she did. They are extremely creative and exactly what I was looking for. They use super 8mm film which definitely sets them apart from most videographers. If you are looking for a different, artistic take on videography, then look no further than Nostalgia Film!

If you are thinking of using a videographer, please, do yourself a favor and hire Nostalgia Film. Shanna and Mike are beyond compare. Besides being two of the best people we have ever met, their talent is incredible. We have watched our film over and over. The first time we watched Iooked over and my husband had tears in his eyes. Our friends and family have all had the same reaction. They also still ask me how Shanna and Mike are doing. They not only made a work of art for us, they made quite an impact on our guests. We got more than we ever expected. I have had a Holga image that Shanna shot made into a metal print that stops people in their tracks. They came to our hometown and captured it in the most beautiful way. They really listened and really "got" what we wanted. I told them i was like someone was in their ears telling them what we wanted. We were so touched by the way they connected with us and captured our day. You cannot put a price on the video or the images they provided us. We honestly still pinch ourselves. They made our wedding truly unforgettable.

We hired Nostalgia for our wedding in Dripping Springs, Texas at Vista West Ranch. Shanna & Michael were amazing all the way from planning through the delivery of our most beautiful and lusciously unique films.
I am in love with them and cry and laugh while watching them. Nothing other than 8mm would have worked for us. I love all the perfect imperfections of 8mm film and they have such a command and grasp of the film and how to weave it all together in the editing process.
They were able to easily accommodate us by creating a package that fit our two day wedding and listened to all my direction about what was important to us. They did all of this so beautifully and I am thrilled that we hired them and want to hire them again and again for further parties.
They are worth more than they charge and well, as people they are just delightfully yummy!!! So you will have fun having them be a part of your celebration.
Call them!!

Nostalgia Film was an absolute joy to work with. I can't say enough good things! Shanna and Michael might be the two most sweetest, easy going people you'll ever meet. Not to mention they're quite talented! We told them our vision and they captured it flawlessly. They are simply pros with Super 8 film and editing the final project. If you're looking for a vendor who goes above and beyond, Nostalgia Film does just that.

My hubby and I loved working with Shanna and Michael. They were awesome! We are premiering our video and all the raw footage by inviting our family and friends. I am so happy to have had a super8 video so unique and fun to gather everyone we love around and share forever with my husband! Not only did they listen intently to our dreams for the video, (when we recieved the video we were completely surprised that they chose music we had completely forgotten having told them were "OUR SONGS"), they responded quickly when we had questions and were very professional and pleasant to work with!
I highly recommend! Thanks Micheal and Shanna!

To capture your special event, look no further than NOSTALGIA FILM!!
We couldn't have stumbled upon a more talented, visionary, hilarious, cool, and creative company to film our big day. We struggled with hiring a videographer for our wedding, not because we didn't want one...but because we were so spent from everything else. After tapping many shoulders for advice, and scouring site after site, we decided to go for it. Advice from 99% of our friends was, "You are sooo busy that day, you don't catch everything". They were right and we are SO THANKFUL we hired Nostalgia.
We have both Super 8 and HD footage to cherish forever. They captured moments we completely missed as well as those we recall and want to watch over and over. And to top it all off they are so open to your ideas, yet are so freakin creative you'll smile, cry, and laugh throughout the whole thing. So many wonderful touches were added we weren't expecting. Such a treat! We loved working with Shanna and Michael and would do it again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny (and more).

Dec 16th, "First Date".....I NEED HELP!!
- y
- Yanks121482 Nov 29, 2007 06:52 AM
I've been on countless boards and websites trying to find some really GOOD advice, and this one has been the best so far. So I'm turning to you guys for some help. I met my girlfriend through my best friends fiancee. We've haven't been together long, but we're crazy about each other. Any time we get to spend time together, my buddy and his fiancee are there. She lives in Florida, and has never been to Manhattan (I live on Long Island). So I'm taking her in on Dec. 16th (it's a Sunday), to see the Rockefeller Center tree and the window displays, stuff like that for our "first date" alone. I'm looking for suggestions for good places to eat, relatively inexpensive, and any other things to do. I'm thinking either Top Of The Rock or Empire State Building Observatory. Any suggestions as to one or the other? Any fun, kinda touristy things to do. Any help that you guys could give me would be appreciated. I really want it to be a memorable, romantic day.
re: princeofpork
If you are considering seeing the spectacular MOMA (and even if you are not), there is a neat restaurant fairly nearby called Blue Fin right smack dab on Broadway, where you can watch the world go by with all the flash and glitter Broadway has to offer.
If you'd prefer to dine elsewhere -- though the price is right and the food decent -- do at least consider a before-dinner drink and maybe a small plate of cheese there. It's a fun place and just screams Noo Yawk!
In addition to telling us what cuisines you and your g.f. prefer, it would also be helpful if you would give us your per person budget for food because people can interpret "relatively inexpensive" quite differently.
Thanks for your help so far. As far as a budget goes, I'm hoping to keep it around $100-$120 total (including alcohol). But I wouldn't mind spending a little more than that if the food/service/atmosphere was right. As I said, I'm gonna try to get her to see some of the touristy things (the tree at Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, Macy's/Bloomingdales/Saks/Lord and Taylor Window displays, maybe a walk in Central Park), so location is pretty open. Idia, unfortunately, she said she wasn't really into doing the museums, which I also happen to like ( :-\ ). Cuisine type is also pretty open. We both like sushi, Italian, and American. I'm a big fan of Thai food, stuff like that, but she's never really had it. I just want to make this memorable for her. Where have you guys been that's impressed you?
re: Yanks121482
The bar at the Marriott Marquis overlooks Times Square and is a beautiful place for a drink with a view in midtown.
re: Yanks121482
It's a popular spot, but I've always managed to get a table. Worth waiting for a spot near the window. And if it's jammed, you can just enjoy riding the elevators (okay, not super sophisticated) and then sneak around to the left side of the room where you can get close enough to the window for a good view up and down Broadway from billboard level. Have fun!
re: Yanks121482
The Marriott Bar is nice and turns. It's great for a drinks, after dinner drink or coffee. Avoid weekends and this time of year it might be super touristy, long lines. I have not been to The View restaurant in years (it was not my choice when I went) and you can probably do much better in NYC.
haha......ok guys, here's the latest update. She decided on Italian, so there's the answer to that question. I did a little research, and came across Becco. Seems that everyone likes it. I'm assuming at least a few of you have been there. How was it? Any other suggestions? Thanks again for all your help.
re: Yanks121482
While I don't mind Becco in general, it would never qualify as anywhere near the ballpark of romantic. It can be very loud and crowded. I'm sure if you searched this board for midtown/hell's kitchen Italian recs, there would be many other places mentioned.
re: LNG212
Tend to agree with LNG212.
I was going to suggest China Grill until you said Italian.
How about....portofino grille (i think it's so cute and romantic and good food) or borgo antico looks nice.
Rock Center Cafe - watch the ice skating while eating. (disclaimer - never eaten there, was just an idea!)
See a show (get discount tix on broadwaybox or playbill for that and attractions like you mentioned) and go for pre-theater price fixe - maybe at Scarlatto.
re: Yanks121482
"Seems that everyone likes it."
Not exactly everyone! lol I'm not at all a fan. I think the pastas are mediocre. Also, as LNG212 mentioned, they jam as many tables into a room as is physically possible, making seating sardine-tight. And the noise level is so hideously high that it is impossible to carry on a conversation without shouting. There are so many way better options for Italian food.
I highly recommend L'Impero. The contemporary Italian cuisine is seriously delicious, there's an excellent wine list, service is friendly and capable, and the understated elegant surroundings have a romantic feel.
re: hungry_fox
I just checked the original post again and noted that Yanks is doing this on a Sunday. At L'Impero on Sunday evenings only, they are serving a special 4-course prix-fixe ("Domenica Rustica") for $42.
re: hungry_fox
hungry fox' I Coppi rec is a good one (nice garden). That said, it's downtown in the EV. Also, if OP heads downtown for Italian there are better and less expensive choices. I like LaVagna, which is tiny, dark, very romantic. They also have a prix fixe dinner.
From the sounds of it you've got a very busy day filled with lots and lots of big places, tourist spots, loud areas, and people traps. May I recommend a change of pace? Last year I hit up a bunch of places with my girlfriend in celebration of our 1 year anniversary, making sure they were all quiet, intimate, personal, and very tasty. One of the places is extremely wonderful Tuscan food. I know it occasionally gets some mixed ratings but I strongly suggest I Coppi. In the past year I've sent over a dozen people there and they all rant about it, the food is good, the wine is wonderful, and the desserts are spectacular. I doubt the prices have changed much since I was there, we had two appetizers, two main courses, one dessert and she had a glass of good wine, with tip I think it came out to $94 or something like that. I know it's not really near midtown or anything but catching a cab or taking the 6train won't take too long and will give the two of you some time you just chat and get close. Also, I Coppi is right between the East Village and Alphabet City, there's plenty to do and just wander around that area at night, most of which is pretty cheap.
re: hungry_fox
I went to I Coppi a couple months ago and had a terrible experience. Service was breathtakingly awful. Food also was not that spectacular. Definitely would not go back for that price point.
Thank you all so much for your advice. You guys helped me avoid a potential mistake in Becco. I'm have it narrowed down to 3 places, hopefully I'll be able to get a table at one of them. I'm thinking L'Impero La Vagna, or I Coppi. Of the three, which do you like most, and why?
re: Yanks121482
Of the four Italian restaurants you've narrowed it down to, I've been to L'Impero and I Coppi. They are both quite different in terms of style of cuisine and ambiance.
We've had dinner at L'Impero twice since Chef Michael White took over the kitchen, the last time just two weeks ago. Both were wonderful experiences. White's contemporary Italian cuisine is superb, and the wine list is excellent. Normally, prices are on the high side; however, on Sundays (which is when you say you are going), they are serving a special "domenica rustica," a 4-course prix-fixe for $42. Service is both friendly and capable. The space has an understated elegance and a romantic feel.
The "domenica rustica" menu is here: http://limpero.com/eng/menu.asp?forml...
I Coppi's food is very good though it's not, in my view, on the same high level as L'Impero's. Service is pleasant and efficient. The interior space has a rustic, cozy feel. We've only been there during the summer, and we sat in the garden each time. However, the garden does have an all-weather enclosure, so it might be nice to sit there surrounded by greenery this time of year.
Wherever you and your girlfriend end up going, I hope you have a lovely time. Buon Apetito!
re: Yanks121482
Vice Versa is anything but packed looking and busy. The tables are very separated from others (unlike Becco where you feel like you are sitting on your neighbor's lap, which would be okay with me if it were Richard Gere...)
It happens to be my favorite normal restaurant in Manhattan and very romantic.
I just wanted to come on here and thank all of you for your help. Besides the weather, the date could not have gone any better. We took an early train in, did a little Christmas shopping, saw all of the window displays, and headed uptown. We hung out in Times Square for a little bit (including a drink at the Marriott, which was very nice). Headed over to the tree, which was not crowded at all because of the dreary day. We kept heading uptown to do a little window shopping and hit FAO Schwarz. We jumped on the subway and headed back downtown and had dinner at L'Impero. I had the mezzalune di coniglio, which was unbelievable. She is a big fan of anything that has the word "pumpkin" in it, so she went with the tortelli, which was also very good, even though I had to convince her to give me a little taste. The Sformato dessert (hers, obviously) was also very good, and different. The only reason that I got a taste of that was because she said she'd burst if she ate any more. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. Thank you again for all of your advice, and I definitely plan on taking her in to Manhattan again and hitting some of the other places that were suggested. Should we run into each other, I owe each and every one of you a drink. :-)

Former Spook: Don't Believe Everything You've Heard About the NSA
The former No. 2 official at the National Security Agency defended the embattled organization Thursday, one year to the day after an article in the Guardian based on leaked documents revealed that the NSA was collecting the phone records of millions of Americans, sparking the biggest public debate over national security and civil liberties in four decades.
Chris Inglis, who retired in January after working nearly 30 years at the NSA, disputed the allegation that the spy agency cast a dragnet over the private communications of hundreds of millions of innocent Americans who aren't connected to terrorist organizations -- the agency's stated targets. "The NSA's surveillance capability is not vast. It's not what you've heard," Inglis said during a debate over NSA surveillance at the Brookings Institution.
Inglis said that the NSA doesn't know the names attached to the phone numbers it collects under the bulk records program. Nor, he said, can the agency legally use people's calling history to create a map of their behavior, including their political affiliation, sexual orientation, or fidelity, as critics of the NSA's programs have alleged. The program is also overseen by three branches of government, he said -- it's run by the NSA, authorized by Congress, and monitored by a court.
Opposing Inglis in the debate, Jameel Jaffer, the deputy legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union, said those skeptical of large-scale government surveillance don't doubt the agency's legitimate need to collect intelligence for national security. But he questioned whether the phone-records program was as useful or as tightly controlled as Inglis said.
If the system of oversight was so robust, Jaffer asked, "Why was it that only after the program was disclosed, the president determined it was unnecessary?" In January, President Obama announced that the NSA can no longer hold onto Americans' phone records. Congress is debating changing the law so that phone companies possess the data instead.
But despite legislative attempts to rein in the NSA, and a year of blistering public criticism, Inglis said the agency is generally in the same place it was before the leaks of Edward Snowden when it comes to its ability to gather intelligence to detect and prevent terrorist attacks.
"At the end of the day that data is still available" to the NSA, even if it's in the hands of phone companies, Inglis said.

text: Is There a Doctor in the House? Goodell Says Shrinks To Decide Whether Martin's Tormentors Play Print article Send a Tip by Daniel J. Flynn 25 Mar 2014 post a comment Can Mike Pouncey pass a Rorschach test? What will John Jerry tell a psychiatrist about his childhood? What kind of psychotropic drugs could transform Richie Incognito into a mild-mannered human being? The NFL is about to find out. Asked at the annual league meeting when the NFL will allow Richie Incognito back on the field, Roger Goodell punted. It isn't a commissioner decision, he said. It's a medical one. Isn't having a few screws loose a prerequisite to playing in the NFL's trenches? Remarkably, the commissioner claimed that the players' union agrees that the three players most embroiled in the scandal as alleged perpetrators require medical evaluation and treatment as a precondition to playing again. But the agreement between the league and its players permits but one suspension per offense, and Incognito has already served the punishment meted out by the Dolphins. Is Goodell's answer an indication that he's prepared to break the rules to further punish a player who broke the rules? "Our focus right now, at least in the case of the three players, is that they would be evaluated," Goodell said Monday. "We've talked with the union several times about that. And we agreed that was the right first step. Once they've been evaluated, the medical professionals, which are joint medical professionals, will make determinations of whether any treatment is necessary. And it will be a requirement that they fulfill that." The Wells Report, issued last month on the Incognito-Martin bullying affair, documented numerous instances of boorish and bullying behavior by Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito, Mike Pouncey, and John Jerry. "Player A was a Dolphins offensive lineman," Ted Wells's report notes of a player later identified as current Carolina offensive lineman Andrew McDonald. "Like Martin, he is quiet and unassuming. During his time with the team, [Richie] Incognito, [John] Jerry and [Mike] Pouncey frequently taunted Player A with homophobic insults. He often was called a 'fag' or a 'faggot' in a demeaning tone. Incognito reportedly accused him of 'sucking d---' and 'pissing while sitting down' and asked him 'where's your boyfriend?' Incognito acknowledged that Player A, although not actually believed to be gay, was spoken to in this manner repeatedly and persistently—he got it 'every day from everybody, high frequency.'" Since season's end, the Miami Dolphins have traded tackle Jonathan Martin to the San Francisco 49ers, lost guard John Jerry to the Giants, and released former Pro Bowl guard Richie Incognito. Pouncey, an elite NFL center who showed his support for former University of Florida teammate Aaron Hernandez on a hat last summer, remains with the Dolphins. Since emerging from a treatment facility after taking a baseball bat to his Ferrari, Richie Incognito has been active on Twitter expressing a desire to play this season. He wrote favorably about playing for the Raiders or a return to Miami. "My turn to pick a new team," Incognito tweeted. He also offered apologies to the one he hurt most: "Ferrari...I'm sorry." "I think the first phase for us is to get the evaluations and determine what the treatment is," Goodell said yesterday. "Depending on what the doctors prescribe there, it could prevent them from being part of football for some period of time. But that's a medical decision." No, it's ultimately a legal decision.

A Yotel security officer started eight fires inside the Times Square hotel and also at the Soho Grand, where he worked a second job, the Times reports, allegedly because he "had grown tired of patrons at the hotels bars and parties." Fire marshals say that Mariano Barbosa Jr. wanted to make the "hotels less popular" and lighten his workload in the process, so he began setting small fires in stairwells and in front of exit doors between during late-night shifts beginning in 2009. All of the fires were quickly extinguished; marshals tell the paper that Barbosa emerged as a suspect after he submitted to voluntary questioning and admitted that he hoped making the revelers appear more rowdy would eventually "curtail the parties."

A Sound Approach

One of the main pitfalls of investing is searching for the approach that gets it right all the time. If investors think they can consistently rack up profits month after month, they are not living in the real world.
I'm hope you're not searching for such an approach, because it's not out there — nor will there ever be one that can make money on a consistent basis without having some sort of drawdown. If you know of any investor searching for such an approach who truly believes that someone out there really has the Holy Grail of consistent profits, I suggest that you have him or her pay a visit to Butner, North Carolina. That's where one will find prisoner #61727-054, Bernie Madoff.
Madoff operated what is considered to be the largest financial fraud in U.S. history. Over a period of 20-plus years he swindled thousands of investors (many of them sophisticated investors and very successful celebrities) out of $65 billion.
He didn't do it by promising 1,000% returns. Instead, he executed his plan by fabricating a track record that was very consistent and barely showed any down periods. He sold his investors on the ability to consistently, through every type of market environment, produce winning months for long periods of time.
In fact, he reported only four losing months over 14 years! Intelligent and sophisticated investors wanted to believe that it was possible. They wanted to believe that someone had discovered a strategy that produced gains month after month. Along with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, there's no such thing.
Consistency is something no one can promise. At times a value investing approach will be totally out of sync with the market. The stocks we buy will go down, and the stocks we sell will continue to go higher. That's normal and nothing to get excited about. The only thing any approach can guarantee
— is that over the long term there will be periods of disappointment. This separates successful investors from everyone else. Most investors will bounce around from one approach to another when the approach they're using goes through a rough patch. Instead of building their net worth, they actively do everything possible to continuously lose money.
For an investing approach to be considered sound, Ben Graham said that it needs to be:
For those who stick with an approach that is based on logic, is simple to apply, and has an excellent track record — the world is their oyster.
After 30 years of investing, I have yet to find an approach that is better than buying stocks of businesses that are trading for less than their underlying worth. If you know of one, please get in touch with me ASAP.
