In Virginia, wintertime can be treacherous. When roads are covered in snow and ice conditions become dangerous for drivers, especially rookie teen drivers.
Jessica Lawrence says if she has to go out in a winter storm, she uses caution and keeps safety in mind.
"I just slow down, and try not to get myself in a potentially dangerous situation, not passing people. If they are going slow, I just slow down," Lawrence said.
While driving slow is key, AAA also recommends drivers avoid slamming on the brakes, make sure to keep their eyes on the road in the direction they want to go, and be aware of other drivers.
"Make sure you keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. You want to be able to brake and not have any fear of the vehicle in front of you," said Albemarle County Police spokeswoman Carter Johnson.
Another tip: prepare for the storm before it hits. Albemarle County Police suggest preparing a safety kit to keep in the car.
"Extra blankets, cell phone, flash light. Anything you may need if you get stuck on the road," Police Spokesperson Carter Johnson said.
Johnson says the best advice of all, if you don't have to go out in a storm, don't.
"When we had that really bad snow in 2009 I was halfway to work and I thought, what am I doing," said Lawrence.
Drivers should stay home until the roads have been cleared and treated, and safe once again.

London's bus system, although slower than the Tube, is just as easy and less expensive. If you like the thought of being able to see the London scenery pass you by while you get from point to point, buses may be the way to go.
City Buses: Getting around London
Though most of London's buses are new, sleeker models, some routes still feature the famous Routemaster model. Photo: Yves Doutreligne.
Taking a bus is one of the cheapest ways to move about London, with fares costing just £2.40 per ride.
With the Oyster Card, it's even cheaper, as a single ride costs just £1.40 and there is a £4.40 daily cap. 7-day passes can be purchased for £19.60.
Where to buy
Though you can buy tickets with cash on board most buses, some services in central London require you to have a ticket before you get on. You can determine this by the signage at the bus stop. If your bus number is displayed with a yellow background, you need to buy a ticket from the machine at the bus stop before boarding.
Night buses
After midnight, night buses (prefixed with the letter "N" in front of the route number) prowl the streets. Night buses run limited routes, so do the necessary advance research. Night buses are also usually something of a madcap adventure, especially on weekends when they fill with late-night partiers hitting clubs or ready to hit the sack.

Karl Malone probably isn't a big fan of King Arthur, either.

"I had one of my 'bigs' today, and he had body armor from his thigh to his neck. I ask him what he was doing, and he said he was protecting himself. I said, 'Who you protecting yourself [from]?' There's no sniper in this building! Man up! If you're hurt, see the trainer and play the game.
"When I played, if you came out there with a sleeve on your elbow, I won't say I'm going to attack it, but you're a wounded animal and I've got to take a stab at it."

Iraq seeks seven-billion-dollar loan from IMF
1 hour 42 mins ago
Iraq wants a seven-billion-dollar loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to cover its budget deficit, Finance Minister Baqer Jabr Solagh said in an interview published on Monday.
"Iraq is trying to secure a seven-billion-dollar loan from the IMF to cover its budget deficit for this year and next," he told Al-Sabah newspaper.
Solagh said Iraq was also seeking to encourage creditor countries to forgive some of its debts in exchange for "a more open door" approach to investments in his oil-rich country.
In March, the Iraqi parliament passed a 58.9 billion-dollar budget for 2009, after billions were wiped off spending plans because of a sharp fall in oil prices.
Oil and gas production accounts for 90 percent of the war-ravaged country's revenues.
The financial shortfall comes at a difficult time for Iraq as the nation of 29 million people struggles to emerge from a brutal sectarian conflict triggered by the 2003 US-led invasion.
Restoring basic services such as water, electricity and sewage disposal is crucial to ensuring that the bloodshed that peaked in 2006 and 2007 is not triggered again by civilian unrest.
A projected 20.3-billion-dollar deficit this year was initially expected to be financed by unspent allocations from the 2008 budget.
Very interesting. Maybe Iraq is planning on the major conversion from Iraq Dinar - RV time?
Anyone else notice it is time for Iraq to start behaving like the soverign country it touts to be, and at the same time start paying for their security? That includes 5-years of back payments to the US led coalition - in the billions.
Everyone on this site should be after our elected leaders daily - phone, email, fax, carrier pidgeon - to cut US funding, and get Iraq running as a country and paying their own way. Especially Obama fans. Time to leave Iraq to Iraq. The resources are there, and Iraqi leadership claim to have all the answers on how to live - just like every other country in the Middle East.
So, now is the time for Iraq to take action and make it happen. No more US Dollar. Time for Iraq to have an internationaly recognized currancy and exchange rate in order to buy and sell goods and services, and REPAY the US led coalition. How about a Conclave by locking the Iraq Parliment in Chambers until they have it all put together and we see the white smoke announcing - We Have a Country! There is a Security Force in place to make it happen. Remember that as a last resort momma bird pushes the baby out of the nest. Time to push Iraq. Iraq needs to become independent, and the USA needs our money repaid. We have an economic disaster to fund.
Let's get on it fellow Investor! Let's get this RV in the immediate.
I wonder what would happen if the IMF said no more loans until you follow our advice and increase the value of your currency?
Deputy calls for fear of lack of borrowing from the International Monetary Fund
Reduced the economic decision of the Commission in the parliament, deputy Yonadam Kanna we fear the importance of the existence of a negative impact on borrowing from the International Monetary Fund.
We noted that the amounts borrowed by the intention of Iraq relating to specific projects "and not all investment projects," he said, at the same time, that Iraq would reject the conditions that affect the national sovereignty and we attributed that Iraq sought to borrow from the International Monetary Fund to the need to complete the projects described in Balstratejip energy. adding that Iraq did not have the liquidity of the funds necessary for the implementation of those projects, in addition to States, which promised the reconstruction of Iraq did not implement their promises, he said.
Well I guess the Iraqi Gov needs more money to steal. I guess they have depleated their stash.
Hey did you see that? That squirrel just gave me the finger!!!!

Red Claws Fall To Toros…Again
The Maine Red Claws, on a night where they wore the uniforms of their NBA affiliate, the Charlotte Bobcats, lost again to the Austin Toros 98-86 in front of yet another sold-out crowd.
Defense wasn't the problem so much, as the Red Claws held Malik Hairston to 29 points, and nobody else on the Toros scored more than 20. Now, 29 points might still seem like a lot, until you remember that in that overtime loss he had 43 points. In that sense, Hairston is the D-League version of Kobe or LeBron, where other teams are glad when he "only" scores 20-30 points instead of 30-40. This isn't to say that Hairston will necessarily be the same quality player at the NBA level, but for right now he's dominating.
Overall the Red Claws defense performed relatively well last night. Apart from containing Hairston, they shut down Curtis Jerrells, who had 30 points last time; he had just ten last night. Unfortunately, Lewis Clinch stepped it up, keeping the Toros right in the game throughout the first half. He was the key to keeping the Toros in the game early on: he was one of two Austin players with double-digit points in the first half, and together he and Hairston accounted for more than half the Toros' 50 points.
For the Claws, it was new player Mo Auger leading the way with 22 points – along with Noel Felix, who had a 14-point 11-rebound double-double. As usual Maine spread the ball around, with six players scoring in the double digits and no one reaching 40 minutes. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to keep up with the Toros – Auger was the only Claw to reach 20 points. Again Maine wasn't helped by taking, but not making, a lot of outside shots; they were 5/18 from downtown. The Toros didn't make many more, but they took a lot fewer, so they were 43% instead of the Claws' paltry 28%.
Many of those poorly chosen shots came in the fourth quarter, when the Toros really stepped it up and began to take a serious lead. Every time the Claws began to establish an offensive rhythm Austin would be able to disrupt it; Maine was never able to go on any serious run. It didn't help that the Claws began to get tired – or at least look tired – and let the Toros take seemingly any shot they pleased. This kind of performance, whether in the third quarter (Celtics) or in the fourth, must be exceedingly frustrating to coaches. After all, 36 minutes of good basketball just doesn't cut it, whether it's the D-League or the NBA.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Mo Auger
NOTES: Newly acquired C Paul Davis was inactive due to a serious concussion; it is hoped that he will recover soon…injured Billy Thomas was activated for this game, but did not play…Trey Gilder was honored by the team for his All-Star selection.
NEXT THREE: Thursday, February 18, @ Tulsa 66ers, 12PM…Saturday, February 20, @ Rio Grande Valley Vipers, 9PM…Sunday, February 21, @ Rio Grandew Valley Vipers, 6PM

User-based evaluation of unimplemented technology where, generally unknown to the user, a human or team is simulating some or all the responses of the system.
The technique has often been used to explore design and usability with speech systems, natural language applications, command languages, imaging systems, and pervasive computing applications.
The originator, J.F. Kelley explains: "The term Wizard of Oz (originally Oz Paradigm) has come into common usage in the fields of Experimental Psychology, Human Factors, Ergonomics and Usability Engineering to describe a testing or iterative design methodology wherein an experimenter (the "Wizard"), in a laboratory setting, simulates the behavior of a theoretical intelligent computer application (often by going into another room and intercepting all communications between participant and system). Sometimes this is done with the participant's a-priori knowledge and sometimes it is a low-level deceit employed to manage the participant's expectations and encourage natural behaviors (though always, I would hope, with appropriate disclosure during the debriefing part of the experiments)."

I was disappointed with this video. For starters, it wasn't structured very well, it was almost like they were coming up with the questions and topics as they were going. The first part of the video was full of information that was hard to follow, and for me, most of the information that was presented either wasn't really relevant to the everyday spinner or it left more questions than answers. The second part of the video was certainly more informative, mostly because the wheel I own is made by schacht. But I found that a lot of the information from the second half of the video contradicted what was said in the first part. The most prominent was on how to oil your wheel. The second half still left a lot of unanswered questions. I felt like the description about the video was very misleading. While the video did cover those topics, it wasn't an in depth discussion about it, and it left a lot of questions unanswered. So if your just a spinner looking to learn more about your wheel, I'm not sure this is the right video. If you're a very technical spinner who wants to know about bearing types, different kinds of oils, etc, then this video is for you.

Top 10 cities for foodies - Comments Chowhound?!
- Charles Yu Aug 9, 2007 06:43 PM
Looks like tourists fed up with the beach and not interested in golf or tennis are finding a new reason to travel - FOOD. They are going great distances to sample local cheeses, pastries and exotic delicacies.
Forbes.com has just released its list of the top 10 cities for foodies: Essential Eats in ( ).
1. New York City ( Per Se, Bubby's, Bistro Bathazar )
2. Las Vegas ( Guy Savoy at Caesar's Palace, Commander's Palace, Firefly for Tapas )
3. Los Angeles ( Melisse in Santa Monica, Hamasaku for Japanese )
4. Paris ( Taillevent, Ze Kitchen Galerie )
5. Bologna, Italy ( Al Pappagallo, Da Bertino )
6. Singapore ( One Rochester for French, Lei Gardens for Chinese )
7. Palermo, Sicily ( Il Mulinazzo, Osteria Altri )
8. Barcelona ( Casa Leopoldo, Can Manel la Puda )
9. London ( The Fat Cat, Tamarind )
10. Sydney ( Longrain, Billy Kwong )
Question: How come LA was chosen over San Francisco and Singapore over Hong Kong? Tokyo and Toronto should get honourary mention! No?!
re: Robert Lauriston
Interesting comment Robert! I also think SF should be included due to the proximity of French Laundry.
re: Charles Yu
why would that make San Francisco the target city, why not Yountville? honestly, why not the wine country region. they have both the talented chefs and the local flair to make the cut.
re: cackalackie
OK, the moderators will probably have a kiniption. There are good food cities and there are good restaurant cities. They are not mutually exclusive but they are slightly different. I tend to go for the hole in the wall, ethnic heavy places, so I like those towns. That is what I like althought I am not opposed to splurging for the high end places once in a while.
To me a great food city is one where you can eat well for not a lot of money and you feel like you are sharing in a secret spot that the tourist won't go to.
I would say New York, San Francisco, LA, Chicago, Hong Kong, Taipei, Atlanta, Singapore, Paris, Brussels all qualify. the great restaurant cities I wouldn't know.
re: Phaedrus
Atlanta? Really? Do tell.
re: southernitalian
With the Asian, latin American, middle eastern, african influx into Atlanta, along with the BBQ joints and southern foods, Atlanta is great if you like ethnic foods done simply and cheaply. There are white linen, haute cuisine places too but not like some of the other cities. I enjoy cruising up and down Buford Highway and driving through Decatur and finding the out of the way ethnic places to enjoy the foods.
Buford highway is like the United Nation personified, I have been the Malaysian, Chinese, Vienamese, Korean, salvadoran, Colombian, Ethiopian, foods all up and down there. The groceries along that stretch is also impressive.
re: Phaedrus
Finally an advocate for Atlanta food! All of my foodie tendancies got started in Atlanta and I remember all of the gorgeous exotic produce and seafood in the Deklb Farmers Market. I had my first tast of Korean food on Buford Highway, first curry, Thai and Indian, looked at every part of the pig but the oink in the Sweet Auburn Market, tried "tofutti", singed my sinuses with Chinese mustard, ate (and shelled) every kind of field pea under the sun! Atlanta has it's own flavor and if visitors can find there way in from the suburbs, they might be suprised at what they find!
re: Phaedrus
Hmmmm. I have to say that I have never found Atlanta to be truly impressive as a food city. Lots of variety, which is great, but I've had better versions of all the international foods elsewhere, especially the various Asian quisines.
I can't comment on the higher-end stuff. And I'm not a resident, but I just never find myself as impressed with Atlanta food as the residents always seem to be. That true for Atlanta in general, actually....
re: uptown jimmy
I liked the variety and homey goodness of the Chinese food rthere, I know my Colombian friend loves the Colombian bakery in Atlanta. None of the places in Atlanta are very fancy and they are definitely not for the gringo, they are there to serve the immigrant populace, which is what I look for.
re: Phaedrus
Where in Burssels would you suggest to go? We will be there in 2 weeks for our first time?
re: cackalackie
I totally agree with your assessment cackalackie. My wife and I visited Vegas for 4 days a couple of months ago and while we found a couple of decent restaurants, I wouldn't say its a good "foodie" city, nor necessarily even a good chowhound city. I'm certain there are culinary delights to be had, but they weren't easy to find and didn't seem plentiful.
re: ccbweb
We were in LV for a convention in Sept 2005 and were delighted to go to some of the name-chef restaurants there. The food was good, but not nearly as good as the names on the restaurant doors would imply. My impression was that Vegas dining is a lot like buying expensive brands from factory outlets -- not top-quality, because people are content to go with the names with no expectation of meeting their lofty reputations. In fact, Vegas dining, like the rest of Las Vegas, is more smoke and mirrors than substance.
To answer the question, LA offers a much wider scope of cuisines at high level and than does SF, otherwise pejoratively known as "ethnic" food. For a TRUE foodie or TRUE chowhounder, LA's standing as a foodie capital is a given. But this list seems to include only anglo-centric high dining, so yeah, it's bizzare that LA would be included over SF. LA certainly does not have anything close to French Laundry.
I'm glad they mentioned Firefly in LV. Excellent place for tapas.
re: bmubyzal
Yeah, the piece refers to The Fat Duck. Which is in Bray, near Maidenhead.
re: Robert Lauriston
Yeah - If the best that London has to offer is in Berkshire.....
re: cackalackie
The Fat Duck's location is irrelevant, what matters is the chef.
"Heston Blumenthal has a problem: his dessert tastes like horseshit."
Forbes needs to do a little fact checking before publication.
Commander's Palace in Las Vegas has been closed since mid-January and there has been little news as to when - or if - they will reopen in Vegas.
re: Seth Chadwick
And no mention of Montreal? And just in response to the OP's comment - no, Toronto should never, ever figure on that list.
re: swissfoodie
Agreed. After living in Ottawa and Washington, DC, I moved to Toronto and I've found the food scene here to be abysmal. I go to the restaurants that are highly recommended and find them to all be mediocre at best. I've found three restaurants that I actually like since I moved here (and I've tried easily over 100, so that's a pretty poor record). One of them is a complete hole in the wall where you can get a meal for less than $10, and the other two are only mid-range priced (a delightful Malaysian restaurant, and a *embarrassed* chain steakhouse). The couple higher end places I've splurged at (that received consistently stunning reviews) were passable, but not worth the price and certainly didn't bear repeating.
There isn't, for example, even a single acceptable or close to authentic Thai restaurant in the whole city. Ketchup in Pad Thai, North American broccoli in Pad See Eew, and carrots liberally added to everything? Abysmal and downright disgusting!
re: vorpal
vorpal, Toronto may not be in Top 10, Top 15 ... etc, depending who rank it, but abysmal food scene is way too strong to describe it. Just wondering what are the high end restaurants have you visited in Toronto ?
Hong Kong should be up there for sure !
re: vorpal
Such negative remarks on the Toronto foodscene from a Torontonian!! How strange! I too, like skylineR33, would like to know which high-end restaurants you have tried in Toronto. Though not as fancy as some of the Michelin 2 or 3 stars in NYC such as Per Se, Daniel or Jean George, however, for the money, food from restaurants like Splendido or Susur surely does not deserve to be called mediocre. In fact, for a multi course tasting menu, their's are one of the best quality/value for money in the world!! I think I can make such a comment based on the 78 michelin star restaurants I have eaten around the world!!!
re: Charles Yu
You mean Europe with the exception of SF and NYC. Anywhere else and it's not 'Michelin.'
re: Withnail42
Technically yes! However, a restaurant such as Robouchon a Galera in Macau, though not rated by Michelin, is easily Michelin star calibre, especially during 'Truffles' season whence Joel Robouchon, the master 3 star chef himself usually presides over the kitchen. Another, non-European, non Michelin example is Sciroco in the Hotel Lobua, Bangkok. Last year, over six Michelin 3 star chefs were invited to cook in their kitchen. Though not rated by Michelin, however, the food is definitely Michelin calibre. Anyways, with European, SF and NYC Michelin experiences under my belt, I believe I can offer some 'fair' culinary comment regarding food quality in Toronto. Considering I too, reside in Toronto!! By the way, Toronto also has some of the BEST Chinese food outside of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and China. 'Mediocre at best' to describe Toronto's restaurants - surely NOT!!!
re: Charles Yu
First have to say TO does have some excellent restaurants.
Second technically there are no three, two or one Michelin star chefs. The stars are awarded to the establishment not the person. Having a 'Michelin' chef in a kitchen does not elevate it to any sort of status one way or the other. Robouchon, a while back asked to be removed, from the guide.
The core philosophy of Michelin is 'value for money'. For Michelin to expand into a new city they have to feel that there are enough places meeting their criteria. As of now, as far as I know, there are no plans for Toronto guide.
re: Charles Yu
I'll admit that I haven't eaten at what I would consider to be Toronto's "highest end" places like Splendido or Susur, simply because as a graduate student, they currently aren't even remotely near my price range. I've heard largely excellent things about Splendido and would never dismiss them out of hand, but my impression I've gotten from my time over in the Toronto area of Chowhounds is that they seem to be the *only* very-high end restaurant in the city that is consistent in both food quality and service. Susur has apparently slid quite badly: the service (from what I've heard) is generally poor, and the food is far too wildly hit-or-miss to bother taking the chance and dropping $500 on a dinner for two.
As a prelude, note that "high-end" to me generally consists of restaurants in the range of $50-100 per person pre-liquor (as I don't drink wine). Anything more than this is an extravagance that is completely unobtainable to me, and one I'm not sure I'd be willing to indulge unless I was absolutely guaranteed a virtually impeccable evening. (I'd rather take a nice December trip to St. Martin, enjoy the beaches, and eat in Grand Case, which is guaranteed to be good.)
That being said, my most recent Toronto experience was with Batifole, a cute French bistro located charmingly in Chinatown East. I've seen nothing but raves for this restaurant, so I decided to check it out. While I certainly wasn't disappointed and did enjoy my meal, it wasn't particularly exciting and I wouldn't much care to repeat the experience for the price I paid. This seems to be true of the number of other similarly priced offerings - all highly recommended - that I've tried. I haven't completely given up hope yet and would like to splurge on an all-out day at the Gallery Grill soon, although it is slightly cheaper. Their menu looks divine.
I think there's something very seriously wrong with a city in which you cannot get a thoroughly satisfying, wonderful meal in the $50-100 per person range, and instead to truly obtain a spectacular experience, you have to shell out $100-200 per diner. Frankly, I've found that I enjoy my $10 tonkatsu curry at Tokyo Grill far more than the $50-100 offerings I've tried, and those hole in the walls tend to be more consistent in service and food quality.
Torontonians also largely seem to agree that consistency here is a *huge* problem. A restaurant will build a reputation for itself for several months and then glide on its coattails, allowing many "slips".
I'm not sure exactly why this city has such problems with food. I could stop at virtually any Indian, Thai, or Japanese restaurant in Ottawa, Montreal, and DC that looked half decent and have a meal at a comparable price to Toronto's offerings that was at least mediocre and often much better. In Toronto, even trying to find mediocre restaurants is frequently a daunting task. All the more expensive offerings I've enjoyed in other cities were generally lovely, well worth the money, and truly magical evenings. Toronto's similar venues have always left me wanting.
I mean, really... this city cannot even do simple Mexican or Thai food right, and most people complain about the lack of decent Greek food despite our large Greek population. There are serious problems here. I suspect that Torontonians have simply come to expect much less from their food establishments. To be perfectly honest, I also believe that Toronto is in general trying to market trendiness, and a good number of people are willing to overlook serious flaws in food quality and service in order to be see and be seen in the right atmosphere with the right people. Even something as simple as Thai and Pan-Asian restaurants are guilty of this these days, becoming vastly popular by serving appalling food in trendy surroundings (think Salad King and Spring Rolls). I can't relate to that desire myself in any capacity.
I don't mean to slam Toronto so much, but I imagine that there are much, much better food destinations; at least, I sincerely hope so.
re: vorpal
Vorpal, you surprise me. "Abysmal"? Perhaps for Thai, but across the board? Even with the high exchange rate, the quality (globally speaking) is a bargain here.
As for Mexican, we don't have an adequately large Mexican population. It's like expecting Toronto to be a mecca of Armenian cuisine. Why, why can I not find decent Estonian? Etc.
As for see/be seen places... they exist in every city, and should be shunned accordingly.
Besides... this list is ridiculous.
re: hungry_pangolin
I guess compared to DC and Ottawa, I really do find the food in Toronto to be quite lacking. It's a matter of personal taste, of course, but in my experience, I can dine in restaurants in both of those cities and consistently find significantly better meals for less than half the price of Toronto offerings when you start talking mid- to high-range food.
I know a lot of people really like the Toronto food scene, so I apologize if I was insulting to them. I've just been *so* disappointed since I moved here and I've tried many different places. I guess in Ottawa and DC I was at least satisfied and quite often delighted by the restaurants I picked; in Toronto, even listening to hound recommendations and doing significant research ahead of time, I'm usually left wishing that I'd just stayed in and cooked.
re: swissfoodie
Vancouver is up there with Montreal and Toronto.
re: swissfoodie
I concur! Montreal? absolutely, Vancouver? you bet, Toronto? Definitely not!
re: MobyRichard
I lived in Rome for several years and I would absolutely rank Bologna and a dozen or so other Italian cities above it. Modena might be at the top of the list ... the matter requires further research.
re: MobyRichard
I'd even rank Florence above Rome or Tuscan regions in general.
I know it's a global list, and there can only be 10, but where is Chicago?!
This list is, for lack of a better word, LAME!!!!!!! Unimaginative and smells very badly like a PR job. Clearly it is not very well researched. Filler at best. I surprised that Forbes would go with something so weak.
This list was already brought up (briefly) on another thread. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/426467
re: Withnail42
I don't think that's a Forbes article. I think it's a cheapo Web-only forbes.com article.
re: Robert Lauriston
You might be right but they still published and put their name to it.
re: Withnail42
Seattle? Been here 3 months and I am much impressed.
re: GroovinGourmet
Forgive the spelling errors-Jean Georges Vongerichten, Thomas Keller, Alain Ducasse, Daniel Bolud, Todd English, David Burke, Tom Colicchio, Wolfgang Puck, Guy Savoy, Michael Mina, Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, those are just off the top of my head...have restaurants in Vegas. And that doesn't rank as world class dining? Wow, I must get to Toronto!
re: nypeaches
Those are just names. If your intent is to tell someone that you have been to someone's restaurant to brag, then surely Vegas is great because it puts all the celebrity chef trademarked restaurants are there. But the quality of the restaurants are determined pretty much by how much the chefs are involved and how much control they have over the food going out the door. Now, the Vegas restaurants are pretty lucrative and no doubt a lot of these chefs have pretty good quality control over them, but it is still subject to the chain restaurant disease: lack of consistency if they are just letting the restaurants run by remote control after they have set the place up for business.
Whenever someone wants to get serious about nominating a city for world's best food destination.....
Where is New Orleans on this list? I can't think of another city on this planet that revolves more around food.
re: Sam Fujisaka
I wouldn't have Toronto on the list. The place just doesn't do it for me. I'd go for Sydney, or London. If you want Canadian places to go with Vancouver or Montreal first.
I can't believe SF is not on the list. Its much easier to find great dining in SF than NY. Then there is the added bonus in SF of more Asian/ethnic fare that is top notch. NY does have consistenly better pizza. Latly east coast restaurants tend to have wine lists dominated by French wines instead of CA. No way that LA makes this list.
Why Singapore over HK? Maybe because the writer preferred Malay or Indian food. But to be honest every chowhound is going to have a very different list. I'd travel for food, but cities that I've never been to have a much higher priority -- there's more stuff I've nopt been exposed to and thus more chowhounding to do.
re: limster
All the speculation about this city was included but not that one often boils down to the limitation of the number 10. Whenever asked to come up with some kind of top 10 or dozen or 20 or whatever list, either by myself or brainstorming with others, two things have happened: 1) I/we can't find enough "top" to fill the quota and add the next best, or 2) I/we quickly come up with more than I/we need and begin to cull, sometimes randomly and sometimes, "I/we have too many in Name the Place, so a couple of those have to be cut." If I were guessing, I'd bet that's what occurred at forbes.com.
re: ClaireWalter
LV top ten in the world? Really? Money cannot buy high class or good taste.

MuttSavers Rescue Adoption Procedure
Passionate About Saving Dogs
Our rescue is a foster organization and a community of volunteers whose favorite breed is rescued! Our focus is on saving the lives of animals that would otherwise be put to sleep. It is our belief that our animals' needs are of the utmost importance. All of our fosters are committed to meeting those needs.
Most of us are successful "foster failures" who have adopted a rescue dog we've fostered. Those who aren't foster failures...will be eventually!
We are united with great passion for the cause to save dogs from euthanasia, to find loving homes for our rescued animals and promote responsible pet ownership.
Our community outreach is to encourage everyone to become involved in the rescue. We have families who are dedicated to helping out and college students who donate their time and talents. We have a youth volunteer program to get kids involved in the worthwhile community cause of saving puppies!
We are a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization.
We believe "mutt" is a term of endearment...most of the dogs left at shelters to perish are mixed breed animals that no one wants.
From Shelter to Foster Home
From Foster Home to Forever Home
MuttSavers Rescue does not have a facility to visit because all of our dogs are in caring, loving foster homes. It is in the best interest of our animals not to be shuffled around to meet people during the week. Please do not request individual meetings prior to events.
After being abandoned and in shelters, they deserve R&R and lots of individual attention. Fosters begin to crate train, house train and socialize each mutt. Foster observations provide valuable feedback about each dog's personality and health. Fosters are usually available at the events to tell you why their foster will make a great new family member!
MuttSavers Rescue is a foster based rescue and does not have a facility to visit.

November 25, 2014
DALLAS (AP) - Police say two 16-year-old boys have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of their 17-year-old schoolmate in North Texas.
The Dallas Morning News reports that the body of Wylie East High School student Ivan Mejia was found Saturday night in Garland. Police say he had been killed on a road behind the Wylie school. It's not clear how he died.
A 911 call about a car veering off a highway Saturday led police to a wooded area in Garland. Wylie police Sgt. Donna Valdepena says officers spotted the car and waited for the two 16-year-olds to return to it. She says they asked the teens what they were doing and they said "burying a body."
They are being held at a juvenile detention facility in Collin County.

Houston, Texas-based Sysco Corporation's planned merger with Rosemont, Ill.-based U.S. Foods could bode well for Starke County.

Greece Bailed out, 19 more nations to go, Greeks not ready to submit to austerity, Gold is the antithesis of Fiat money, false hope for jobs, Goldman Sachs under investigation, but they make money every quarter regardless...
Greece has its immediate financing. Now the question is can they follow the prescription? In all likelihood the answer is no. the bond markets are reflecting that via a lack of confidence. In fact, some bond markets are falling apart and there is no end in sight. We have bond rating firms lowering ratings, as the rating services themselves are under serious fire and we do not believe they will be around long. The big question is why did it take two years and 10 months to react?
There are 19 nations with serious sovereign debt problems and there is really no way back for them. They may as well all default, because the austerity programs they'd have to follow and at the same time to satisfy creditors, not only is impossible but it signals years of stunted growth and perhaps in many cases the possibility of revolution. Greece certainly fills that bill. We see the Eurozone rules may soon be changed, so that Eurozone participants can assist one another. That means in time they will all collapse together. As many as five members could need assistance of the 16 in the zone. Our guess is permanent bailouts will go forward and the ECB rules will be changed to allow the ECB to function like the Fed. Greece and many others are trapped and they will burden the healthy nations and neutralize them. This approach is the ECB nuclear option. It will destroy the zone eventually. This will destroy the euro and end the option of the euro becoming the world reserve currency. The zone would have adopted the same approach as the US and UK in destroying their currencies. How can you have a union with one interest rate, where the ECB controls the monetary policy, but cannot control the budget deficits, borrowing and spending activities of its members?

Distinguished Speakers
In 2012, the WHA launched a Distinguished Speaker Program to recognize exceptional scholars of the American West and to establish a new source of revenue for the WHA. The initial list of distinguished speakers consists of all living past presidents. Each year, the WHA President will select five outstanding individuals to add to the list of distinguished speakers. This title will be conferred for a period of three years and is renewable. Upon completion of their terms, distinguished speakers will be designated as distinguished speaker Emeritus as will speakers who are unable to serve.
Institutions or individuals who wish to hear a distinguished speaker will make arrangements through the executive director of the WHA, which will receive $1,000 fee for the service. The institutions will cover all travel, food and lodging expences for the speaker. It is anticipated that distinguished speakers will deliver at least one lecture a year contingent on their schedule, though they may give more if they so desire. We anticipate that the Distinguished Speaker Program will provide an important public service, highlight exemplary scholarship and help fund the WHA.
Our current list of Distinguished Speakers (all highlighted names are linked to the speaker's contact information):
2013 Recipients:
Kelly Lytle Hernandez
Samuel Truett
Louis Warren
Richard M. Brown
Virginia Scharff

Keith Urban to Undergo Throat Surgery; Larry Cordle Plans New Project; Give Me the Banjo Airs Tonight
- Later this month, Keith Urban will undergo throat surgery to remove a polyp from his vocal cords. He's planning on honoring pre-existing single song commitments, but other appearances and lengthier performances (including his All for the Hall fundraiser) will be postponed and rescheduled in 2012.
- Chet Flippo's newest Nashville Skyline column is all about Vince Gill.
- Jessica Pace of American Songwriter sat down for a Q&A with two of The Dirt Drifters. Here's a quote from guitarist Jeff Middleton in response to the question "Why country music?": "I've listened to all different genres of music, and country songs that strike me the most are the ones that feel real and tell great stories. I moved to Nashville to write songs. I didn't move to get a record deal or be in a band. It was because songs are, to me, the dearest form of music. I think that's why our band bases everything around the song. It's interesting that we're all from different areas. I think that's a strength, because the song has to reach each of us. And that's the commonality. What I think a great song does and what I think country music is to a lot of people is just real life experience that we all go through, whether you grow up in a city or a rural town."
- Larry Cordle's upcoming album (expected to drop in late 2012) will include guests like Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Kathy Mattea, and other artists who have recorded his songs.
- Blue Highway topped Bluegrass Today's new Monthly Airplay Chart.
- Reba, Dierks Bentley, and Billy Currington are a few of this year's CMA Awards presenters.
- Don't forget that the documentary Give Me the Banjo airs tonight; check your local PBS affiliate's broadcast schedule.
- Cindy Watts of the Tennessean penned a feature on singer-songwriter-author Brad Paisley.
- Rodney Atkins and Scotty McCreery will take part in this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- Sarah Moore of JamBase.com attended the Infamous Stringdusters' music and beer celebration The Festy. Read about her experience here.
- Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift have received Billboard Touring Awards nominations.
- Want to be a member of a country music boy band? Here's your chance.
- After 21 years, IBMA Executive Director Dan Hays is resigning from his position, effective February, 29, 2012.

I still can't stop LOLing at that "country music boy band" ad. I shudder to think of what kind of group they'll end up putting together though.
What will be the name of the boy band "Boyz To Redneckz"? Hmm…
Opry Alert! Johnny Lee will be featured on tonight's Opry along with Diamond Rio, Craig Campbell, and JT Hodges. Grade: B-.
Link: http://www.opry.com/shows/ThisWeek.html
Rebecca Lynn Howard will also be performing but needs to get back to singing country music on the Opry! Same on you Becky Lynn.
I'd much rather read about Vince Gill than hear him sing, so thanks Chet!
That comment about country music from Jeff Midleton shows he reaaly gets it! I wish the vast majority of artists that are currently Top 40 country radio mainstays felt the same way. Oh well…
Good to see that Cordle's project is finally going to excape.
I guess that's about the quintessential "left-handed compliment."
Gill is one of those artists who I'd like to see play live. I get the feeling that he's much more of a freewheeling, butt-kicking musician live than the sedate, carefu, every-hair-in-place crooner that he presented in his hitmaking days.
I wouldn't agree with that LuckyOldSun; I saw Vince Gill in 2002 expecting the freewheeling, funny guy we saw as host of the awards shows for a few years. His opening act Trisha Yearwood was note perfect, of course, but also a scream and very, very entertaining. I was surprised but pleased as I'd seen her in her 'singing stick' days.
Vince was note for note perfection, just like his recordings, so no disappointment there, but he was, dare I say it: BORING! Yup, boring…no banter, no joking about, not even any showboating on the guitar solos. Once of the few concerts I've ever left early as my husband kept falling asleep and was snoring!
I've been to two Vince concerts, one in 2005 and the other in 2010, and he bantered a lot in both, even spontaneously with the audience. He played for close to four hours for the 2005 show. The older people started trickling out around 11:30, during his smoldering, lyric changed version of "There's Nothing Like a Woman".:) His guitar playing was impressive and effortless. My husband who respects him, but isn't a personal fan was impressed by both his personality and guitar playing. I suspect he might have had a tired day or something when you saw him, BLL. As far as Trisha Yearwood, I get that she's a pretty funny person from interviews that I've heard. I'd like to see her in concert someday for sure.
I'll add that in the second show that I saw, Vince even answered a call from his daughter, Jenny, who didn't realize that he was in the middle of a show because "When your kid calls, you answer", which was quite entertaining and sweet.
Wow, BLL, I'm sorry you had such a lousy experience. It must have been an off night for Vince — I've seen him live more than once and he's been loose with the audience and smoking on the guitar each time. I'd give him another chance if you ever get the opportunity.
Well if he tours here again, maybe I'll give him another go then. There was absolutely no between songs banter at all when we saw them.
The only problem with "Country Boy Band" article is that there WAS a Pearlman boyband put together with Kenny Rogers' assistance, "Marshall Dylan" or something like that and there was also the "South 65″ band but together by a member of All-4-One. Guess they're talking about a 'successful' boy band…
That is…Outside of, you know, actually creating a boy band a-la X-Factor's Lakoda Rayne, which is a show put together girl group that will likely get a country deal…
I saw South 65 at a street festival I played at in northern Kentucky. They sang to tracks. It was pretty funny from a country music point of view.
