Croce's to close

Just caught this on television: Ingrid Croce is saying she's closing her flagship downtown location. Didn't she just also announce that she's taking over Ave 5?
I heard this on a 30 second promo; apparently there will be more information at the 10:00 newscast.
Can't help but wonder why she's leaving the Gaslamp...
Went to their site, and there was a farewell message from Ingrid Croce:
So what do y'all think: are we losing something important, or does it rate a shrug?
re: NorthEncantoGirl
re: DiningDiva
Come on guys- it may be culinarily insignificant, but this was a pioneering business. She took a failing New Orleans themed spot when there was nothing and struggled for years and eventually earned success.
My studio was blocks away for 8 years and I watched Croces become an anchor for the improvement of a blighted, nasty part of town.
I admire that spirit, and she deserves recognition for that. As has been well-established here, I believe restaurants play more than the role of simply feeding us. They become focal points for business and social functions, and serve our community in many other ways.
Croces was that place.
I may not bemoan its loss, but I won't casually overlook it's significance.
re: Fake Name
Ingrid is a lovely women who worked that door like nobody's business.
Wishing her all the best.
re: Fake Name
Agree, it's never a good thing to see a business close for whatever reason.
re: ipsedixit
Yet another lease dispute caused by the greedy Gaslamp landlords. Frankly, I'd love to see more restaurants pack it up in the Gaslamp and move elsewhere but i suppose there will be others waiting to step in only to take it out on the consumer by offering mediocre, at best, product at inflated prices....I do wish Ingrid farewell and continued success with her new venture.
re: El Chevere
The real issue here sounds like their coexistence (or lack thereof) with the Pussycat Dolls Dollhouse. I can't really blame them at all, at least from the description of the situation in the articles I've read (which probably are one sided and biased, but even so...).
I think Fakey's response is dead on.
I agree with Fake, she was definitely a pioneer for business in the area, as were the owners of the (sadly) now defunct Fio's. Though, lord have the mercy, the food at Croce's is soooo bad.
The Gaslamp Quarter is nothing more than a cheap, loud, classless, low-end, drunk fest these days. Guaranteed, there will be a hookah lounge, club, or a sports bar in the Croce's space within the year.
re: Dagney
Remember when Fio's opened. The only other places down there was Croce's and a great little place called Morgan that had an excellent Caesar Salad.
BTW- the Fio's owners? They own Brooklyn Girl.
re: Fake Name
I know....:/ I think they lost their touch, from what I have heard about Brooklyn Girl.
re: Fake Name
I hear one of the Fio's principals is in PR. ;D

re: Fake Name
Hadn't thought about Morgan for years. We dined there with another couple soon after they opened in what seems like around 1978-ish. It was pretty far down 5th Ave I think, next to the Rescue Mission. Chef-Proprietor had a similar place in Lemon Grove of all places called The Blue Man.
It was quite an adventure going to Morgan at the time--upscale dining in the middle of skid row. It seems like Spaghetti Factory was already there. I don't think we'd ever heard the term Gaslamp then.
re: mcgrath
The Blue Man was an important place in San Diego's culinary history- I had forgotten Morgan was related. A number of chefs had come through there, including Ed (who's last name eludes me know) who went on to open The Brookside Farm B&B in Dulzura.
1978 might have been a little early for Morgan- I first went in the 80's and Horton had just opened. Gaslamp had launched, but was in its infancy.
Yes, Spaghetti Factory had opened- I remember they served me booze- I was there with two older women, I think they might have been 25 at the time.
re: Fake Name
I remember the Spag Factory, booze was about all that was good there!
re: Beach Chick
LOVED the mizithra pasta. I now buy the cheese from Tip Top in Carlsbad (it's hard to find) and sorta make my own. Had never heard of it before Spaghetti Factory.
re: pine time
One may easily substitute Ricotta Salata- some say it's the same thing. Queso Fresco will also work.
And now I'm hungry for some.
re: pine time
I have actually seen it recently at Vons. That was a good dish...I think the only one.
re: pine time
re: Beach Chick
Thanks BC.
re: mcgrath
When I lived in Golden Hill in late 70's, early 80's, my sweetie and I dined at Morgan often. They served a luscious mushroom souffle as an amuse bouche. They could do things with chicken breasts that I still haven't figured out. Seems the owner was in jail for something, and his wife carried on the business for quite a while--and yes, the Blue Man was part of the family. Some wonderful memories from Morgan...
re: CarrieWas218
It's a bit crazy. There are a ton sports bars and clubs, and the theme or "brand" of the Gaslamp is "party district."
re: CarrieWas218
It's no dive. It's very busy and has lots of great restaurants and attractions. There are many, many condos and apartment buildings that have been built since the 1990s and the average age is on the younger side, so the street scene on the weekends can be a little rowdy. Little Italy is great too.
re: CarrieWas218
It depends on your tastes. If you like hanging out with drunkards in striped shirts and Affliction tees then the Gaslamp is awesome.
When Croce's opened it doors, it was part of the long-awaited renaissance of downtown. The downtown transformation had experienced some sparks and it's metamorphosis was accelerating when this great venue opened. Downtown was attracting more, and more sophisticated, visitors to its restaurants. Sure, the balance was far too much toward over-priced Italian, but at least the presentation and quality of the food was slowly inching its way towards something more like SF.
Then, just at the cusp of progress downtown, came the beginning of its horrific demise.
The Padres ballpark was built , just a couple of blocks from the new, classy restaurants with outdoor evening seating, and the suave pubs. From the air, on approach from the east by airplane, the ballpark looked like the crater where a comet had stuck, a pock on the downtown landscape, a sore on the landscape, almost a disgrace.
But the real impact of the Padres crater was its slow but inevitable impact on the heart of nighttime downtown San Diego. At ballparks, you have tailgate parties, and you eat hot dogs and drink a lot of beer.
People who like tailgate parties loved downtown. It was a place to go before the game to get drunk, and it was the place to go after the game to get drunk and yell at each other about calls and plays during the game.
No sophisticated diner will go downtown when a Padres game is on. Who wants to sip on fine wine and dine outside in the balm of a warm summer evening -- while listening to a throbing cheering crowd and working hard not to see the blinding lights?
Lots of people do, as long as the booze keeps flowing. Our downtown has turned into a huge, unending tailgate party.
It was the building of Petco Park that spelled the end of the rise of the new downtown San Diego and the beginning of its second transformation into a place for drunks and schoolkids who just want to party hearty. More power to them. We're the ones who voted to build Petco Park.
We need to adapt to this tragedy, though, because there's no changing it. That huge, re-bar and concrete blemish that defines our current downtown won't soon go away.
re: DoctorChow
Totally disagree.
As a frequent fan of Petco Park, I don't know many who eat hot dogs and get drunk..yes, we have a good time and dine all around the area but don't blame Petco, btw, was voted in the top 10 ballparks in the US.
Petco fans pretty much stay in East Village with some spill over to the Gaslamp.
Don't see any problems when we dine at the Grant Grill or the Westgate when we become the 'sophisticated diner'.
re: DoctorChow
Well, yes. I had a more peaceful neighborhood with the crackheads and homeless than the sports fans. After the ballpark opened, I had to keep the Padres schedule in my iCal because my clients wouldn't want to return once they'd come in on a game day. And working late those nights?
I had more vandalism, more urination in the doorway, more puke to clean up.
Granted, this had been my sob story in the Gaslamp as well. I needed a large, open and cheap space in which to run the studio, and that meant leasing in "fringe" areas.
Once gentrification arrived, my days were numbered. The Hordes had arrived.
To BC's point, I'm not a retail business, and others benefit in a very big way. I'm certain the taxes (property, sales, occupancy) raised are HUGE, and the city, overall benefits.
But an DrChow points out, the East Village will clearly never be the same.
re: Fake Name
Good morning Fakey!
East Village pre Petco was a blighted wasteland.
Gaslamp is another animal and don't really see the huge spillover of baseball fans to the Gaslamp that first time poster, Dr.chow, refers to..referencing SF and SD in the same breath is ludicrous.
IMHO, Petco has really added life to the area.
Albeit, I don't live downtown and I'm sure I would have a different take.
re: Beach Chick
The political ballyhoo known as Petco certainly has added life to the area. I call them woo-hoos.
You know the kind- they always yell WOOHOO, and the WOOHOOS get louder with every drink.
I remember I was working on a series of images for a local hotel, which required working at night in my (then) neighborhood, the East Village. I had a yound woman in the crew, and I felt terrible- once the game let out. The streets were filled with yoohoos- hanging out the car windows, yelling at my crewmember, walking through the set, stumbling along obnoxious and drunk. No, this was not some scantily-clad model. Just a decent, hardworking young woman.
Look, I get it- I'm old, cranky and liked things on the downlow. I enjoyed the stark anonymity of a third-floor open loft in a very quiet, mostly abandoned neighborhood. I enjoyed my "blighted wasteland" as it was not the natural beauty of RSF or any other part of LA.
How long did you live or work in East Village before the ballpark, and what was your own experience of the transition?
Once I had to start scrubbing the grafitti "art" and skateboard stickers off the improvements I'd made to the building, the "improvements" got really tired real fast. The folks across the street had to put up a sign in their doorway "Don't piss here", as yoohoos were so fond of doing so.
Yeah, I know- the masses voted for the expensive toy (ballpark), and got it. The masses rule, and there's no doubt many businesses were launched, condos built, and profits reaped. There's no doubt the tax increment is paying for many services, and on paper the deal is good.
But this forum is about sharing personal experiences, and that's mine.
And we did get Cafe Chloe. ; )
re: Fake Name
'You know the kind- they always yell WOOHOO, and the WOOHOOS get louder with every drink.'
Were you following me at opening day?
SD is 8th largest city in the US..pretty much all of downtown was a disgusting mess..
I get that you don't have your studio anymore but urban renewal is a good thing and I've been to many a game, I don't see a lot of people 'wooo hooo' out of their cars..takes championship wins to do that.
As far as blaming sports enthusiast for pissing in your doorways, I doubt that..most of us have decorum and use the restroom at the bars and restaurants we just frequented...some use Depends but that is another topic.
re: Beach Chick
Actually not having a studio had little to do with the political pork barrel known as the ballpark- I had a great landlord, and spent 15 years there, but it was time to downsize.
It is far more disgusting mess now than it used to be- did you ever spend time there, or are you just parroting the politicos who stand to earn investment money? I promise- there was a lot less trash, a lot fewer cig butts, less vandalism.
Have a walk the morning after "Mardi Gras" (in SD? HUH?) and see what the transient population leaves behind. In this case, transient means folks from outside the area- not the residents.
BC, you know I'm a fan, and have my undying admiration. I'd even try the Muscle Biscuits (whatev) at Dobsons for you. But you'll not convince me to enjoy the devastation of the neighborhood I loved.
re: Fake Name
We respectfully agree to disagree..
You still da man Fakey!
re: Beach Chick
Wait- we have to disagree respecfully?
Where's the fun?
I'd going to do some more shots- wooHOOO!
; )
re: Fake Name
Bread and circuses, what more could you want?
re: Fake Name
I remember those days, too. I actually lived in a loft right at the corner of 10th and J - it's still there and is now a restaurant of some sort! It was...I don't know quite how to describe it. It was abandoned and there were drug dealers and homeless, but there was also the Farmer's Market (is that what it was called? You know, the huge market ringed with Mexican food stalls?) and it was walking distance to the Fritz Theater and honestly, it was some of the best times of my life! Of course I was in my early 20's, when it's easier to live like that, but even so.
I think I lived downtown San Diego in that time period right in between the first wave of gentrification and the second. There wasn't much of a Little Italy, there was no East Village. But I also worked in the building that houses Croce's (before it was a hotel!) and so I am a little saddened for another part of my life then and there to disappear.
re: DoctorChow
365 days a year - 81 Padres home games a year = plenty of time to enjoy downtown and east village on non-game days. I think the current schedule gives you a 50% chance of avoiding Padres crowds during the months of April - September. Since post-season begins in October, you have almost a 100% chance of avoiding the Padres from October to the following April ;).
re: DoctorChow
To attribute the culinary shortcomings in the Gaslamp to the opening of Petco Park is a viewpoint devoid of factual foundation.
Croce's opened in 1985. "Downtown was attracting more, and more sophisticated, visitors to its restaurants." Really? In 1985? Which restaurants, exactly?
In 1985, "the balance was far too much toward over-priced Italian"? Wrong decade. That came much later.
Petco opened in 2004. It seems to me that even then the Gaslamp's reputation for fine dining was laughable. Which "new, classy restaurants with outdoor evening seating" existed in the Gaslamp in 2004?
Having strong opinions against the building of the ballpark is fine. But please don't blame Petco on a culinary demise in the area when there'd never been a culinary resurgence to begin with. The Gaslamp's evolution since 1985 is the story of catering to conventioneers/tourists and 20-something clabbers, not sophisticated diners. Adding baseball fans to the mix didn't change anything.
re: mcgrath
Before 1980, downtown was a scary place to go at night, at least for people who didn't live there, like me. Croce's didn't exactly bring fine dining to the area when it opened in 1985, but you'll have to admit that it was "more sophisticated" than what existied before. People in clean clothes started going downtown at night. Croce's was one of the early pioneers; other restaurants joined in and the character of at least a small part of downtown began to change in what I thought was a very positive way. Yes, the big wave of Italian (and other) restaurants came later, as the change accelerated. You can define "classy" any way you want, but the new restaurants were at least trying hard to tip in that direction, and by 2004 when Petco opened, the trend was just beginning to firm up. My feeling is that the Gaslamp area would have drawn increasingly more sophisticated venues beyond that point in time if the ballpark hadn't opened.
re: DoctorChow
This is absolutely true - Downtown as a scary place to go lasted well into the 1990's. I used to go to Soma from 1992-94 (all ages punk rock club) when it was on 1st and Market, and the club was surrounded by rubble from the nearby construction. We would pay the homeless guys $5 to "watch our cars" in the parking lot.
The only place that seemed remotely safe was the Gaslamp Quarter, which was anchored by Croce's. I never actually ate at Croce's, but I am shocked its gone.
re: jmtreg
Soma at 1st and Market,,,:)) Ahh! Fond memories! I saw the Dead Milkmen there...
re: Dagney
Ohh, I saw them years before that, back when they were alive.
I have fond memories of the place. It really was one of the first businesses to move into the Gas Lamp District and so it really did help to revitalize the place and while it's menu might not have evolved over the years to stay fresh the place did have a good live music scene so music fans could have a few drinks and an appetizer while they listened the live music from band which traveled to San Diego simply because Ingrid invited them and no other reason. It was her way of remembering her late husband who was rather famous in San Diego's music scene in the 1970's and who even had a few national hits. Look up Jim Croce for a blast from the past.
My other reason to have fond memories of Croce's is because when I was 18, way back in 1994, a friend of mine worked there as a waiter and he used to sneak us alcoholic drinks which seemed so cool at the time to an 18 year old and his friends. ;)
I really find this discussion of Petco and the changes it has caused downtown, interesting. I know Fakey wants to blame the rowdy drunks from Petco ruining the ambiance of downtown. I don't go to Petco that much, since I live and work north of the I-8 in the area otherwise known as "not San Diego" plus going to school in St. Louis, made me a Cardinal fan forever. When I have gone, I just haven't seen that much drunken behavior at Petco. The crowd is really fairly mellow and very family friendly, not like Dodger stadium or Comisky at all. My guess is that the club scene and the bars geared to 20 somethings down in that area has more to do with drunken behavior than Petco. Up in my area, Encinitas, especially along the 101 corridor, has seen a large increase in public drunkenness and the associated bad behaviors. Obviously there is no ballpark in Encinitas, but there is now a restaurant and pub scene. I just think blaming Petco for the problems downtown, is just picking on the easy target.
re: littlestevie
Even though it is only a one week event, I think you can blame Comic-Con just as much as Petco Park.
There are certain well-known businessmen around town, one that associates with chefs wearing fedoras, that have done a lot explode the nightclub scene in that area, too.
Most of those people clubbing downtown on the weekends probably haven't been to a major league ballpark in their lives.
re: littlestevie
East Village and Gaslamp are very different neighborhoods. I further acknowledge I'm no fan of "sports" other than motorcycling, and I don't mean spectating. And come to think of it, I did go to a supercross show once at the stadium, and couldn't get the hell out of there fast enough. buncha drunks there, too.
The thrust of my argument is the idea that some out-of-area carpetbaggers somehow decided that, because the East Village looked nothing like Disneyland's Main Street or a suburban strip mall that it somehow needed to be "fixed". Revitalized. Rehabilitated (re: Arlo Guthrie)or otherwise turned into a theme park for 20-something faux hipsters. And their little dogs, too. You know, the dogs they brought into a neighborhood so gosh-darn run down they don't have to clean up after them. They can take them back to the 23rd floor of their McApartment that costs them $350/month in community fees.
The neighborhood didn't need "fixing". And if this is "fixing", well than I'm a monkey's uncle. (Had to throw in a crotchey-old-man term)
And anyone north of the 8 is a Oakland fan, and cheer whenever they score a goal-oso. Or a whatever.
re: littlestevie
Restaurant owners have to adapt to their clientele if they want to survive, and in downtown San Diego, for 81 days (about 22%) of the year, that clientele is dominated by baseball fans. I have no issue whatsoever with baseball fans but in general they don't tend to be gourmet diners. Post-2004, restaurants in the area were forced to accommodate the preferences of baseball fans -- people who wanted to eat and drink before and after ballgames. That in itself isn't a problem either. The problem with the ballpark is that it was sited way too close to the Gaslamp. Dining cultures don't always overlap very well. Had the ballpark been located further east, even by as little as a few more blocks, I think the culinary character of our downtown would have evolved differently. There would have been an interesting area around the ballpark with a certain level of food quality and service, and another in the Gaslamp area that was more sedate and upscale. The 20-somethings that took over the Gaslamp did so because the restaurant-bars evolved to offer food, drink, and atmosphere that was to their liking. Which is to say that the culinary preferences of a majority 20-somethings is similar to that of ballpark fans. That, in my humble opinion, is the connection between the ballpark and the hoards of 20-somethings that now dominate Fifth and vicinity. From the mid-80s to the mid-00s, downtown was gradually turning into an inviting place to go, and Croce's was one of the places that led the way. I'm sad to see it close, even though I only ate there a few times. I was a Jim Croce fan in the 70s and thought it was great to have a restaurant in town that reflected on him and his music.
re: DoctorChow
Hmmm...do you have a source for your comment about baseball fans not being gourmet diners? Is there peer reviewed research data to back up your claim?
I think the influx of young 20-somethings looking to party and have a good times is more probably the result of the quasi upscale clubs that opened offering "beautiful people" the chance to be seen, expensive bottle service, too cool for school bouncers and door policies and marginal entertainment. Not to mention the general change in the social values and conduct of the 20-something generations for whom partying into oblivian was acceptable.
All those clubs that the Jim Brennan enterprises opened had one objective (other than to make a ton of $$$ really fast) and that was to attract a young, hip and trendy clientel with expendable income. They did that very well and very successfully. If I were interested in *blaming* someone, or something for the Gaslamp degenerating into a miasma of inebriated young hipsters and old fart conventioneers - and for the record, I am not, blaming just isn't my style - I'd be looking more at the clubs, the big hotels on the Bay and the convention center for driving the change more than Petco Park.
re: DiningDiva
There's something here that many people are missing:
In order to have an effect on the surroundings, there must be a critical number of baseball fans attending the games. Unless the Dodgers are in town, that usually isn't the case. :)
re: RB Hound
You've got a point. Dodgers or Cards, they usually/used to, also get a good crowd for Cardinal games.
re: DiningDiva
Thank you for your thoughtful and interesting response, DiningDiva. I'm not into the blame game either. For me, the loss of Croce's has re-opened the question of what is and what could have been downtown. My opinion is that it could have been something much greater than it is. Who can say with certainty which had the greater influence on what it has in fact become. You have your opinion about that and I have mine. No, of course I don't have peer-reviewed research regarding the culinary preferences of ball park attendees, but then neither do you regarding your remarks about the quasi-upscale restaurants and your Brennan theory. It's a question of the chicken and the egg, I think, and I'll stick to my guns when it comes to the reality that restaurant owners adapt to serve the clientele they anticipate or are seeking. (It's off-topic, but I also think that the siting of Petco Park is esthetically displeasing, per my comment about it's appearance from the air. It makes downtown look off balance.) Restaurants can't have a daily revolving door of ambience, service, and food quality. It's one thing or another. I'm really just sighing, not blaming, when it comes to the location of Petco Park and and it's long-term influence on the evolution of downtown. The park itself is really quite attractive, and the people who go there deserve to have fun places to go to before and after a game. It's just in the wrong place.
re: DiningDiva
I am with Diva...I don't think the opening of Petco has had a negative impact on the dining experience in the Gaslamp--not even sure one existed prior to Petco.
Rather, I blame it on the 20-somethings,especially the ones who inhabit The Gaslamp on the weekends--80% of whom don't live there and whose highest educational attainment will be a GED degree. Combine this with restauranteurs who pay ridiculously high rents who pass off subpar, non-prime cuisine at exorbitant prices to unsuspecting, captive conventioneer audiences.
re: El Chevere
I believe that if Petco Park had been located a little further east, around 10th or 11th, say, the party-hearty district would have developed in that area, rather than where it is now. In that case, the gaslamp area may well have then evolved into the culinary core of our city, attracting restaurants with the finest dining San Diego has to offer. That would have been "awesome", and the best for everyone. A culinary core in the center of the city is what I was hoping for when Croce's opened. Croce's itself didn't have very good food, but it attracted an eclectic, interesting crowd, not rowdy "20 somethings". Alas, we only had one shot at developing downtown, and in my opinion the city blew it by siting Petco Park essentially right on top of the Gaslamp area. So the Gaslamp today is what it is. I know others differ in their opinions on this and I have no "proof" to support mine. It's just conjecture on my part. At the time Croce's opened it was excited, wishful thinking. Again, just a big sigh on my part, not blame. I'm sure that the city planners anticipated a different outcome.
re: DoctorChow
San Diego is, if nothing else, suburban. Most of what happens, happens outside of downtown...or at least it did until very recently. It has absolutely no history of a strong city center, let alone one with a lot of fine dining. In fact, the city center was for years dominated by stinky tuna boats, seedy dive bars and strip joints. Until recently Little Italy and Barrio Logan (nee Logan Heights) were not exactly prime addresses.
Why do you think it would have developed one had not Petco landed where it did? The convention crowd more or less assured that it cater to a clinetel that was either here on a shoestring or expense account.
re: DiningDiva
I think a "classy" restaurant area was the intended outcome, originally. I think that the area had just begun to move, howbeit very slowly, in that direction, but it froze out at a quality level that fell far short of what it could have become once the ball park went up. I also think that a lot of those convention attendees actually have farily deep pockets, thanks in no small part, in fact, to their expense accounts and/or thier occupations. Not all of the conventions are like Comic Con. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the trend would have been for a lot of fine dining establishments to want to locate in that area, along with numerous "upscale" and also moderatly-priced venues. I think there would have been far fewer sports bars. I agree that SD is essentially sub-urban, but it still could have had a culinary core. Why do I think all of this? Opinion and conjecture, that's all. Who would want to eat at a genuinely classy restaurant when you have to deal with blaring lights and noise in the distance? Is that going to draw people from La Jolla downtown to dine? Due respects, DiningDiva, we disagee.
re: DoctorChow
I think you may be correct that the restaurants in the Gaslamp would have been more expensive and looked more like fine dining, but its probably wishful thinking to say that the quality of the food would have been much better than what we have.

A new look for Innsbrook?
Supervisors to consider urban mixed use proposal Dec. 11
A new era for the Innsbrook corporate center could begin officially this week, pending approval from Henrico County's Board of Supervisors.
The board will hear a request Dec. 11 by Highwoods Properties to redevelop a 39.46-acre section of the 630-acre corporate center as an urban mixed-use tract, allowing for as much as 2.3 million square feet of commercial and residential development – including 1,230 residential units. The Planning Commission recommended the plan for approval at its Nov. 8 meeting.
Supervisors rezoned most of the site – 36 acres – to the then-new urban mixed use classification as part of a larger case in 2005 that sought to breathe new life into the Far West End community by allowing a variety of uses in close proximity to each other, similar to the communities of West Broad Village and Rocketts Landing. Highwoods' current proposal would establish conditions on the entire 39.46-acre site, which is located generally between Cox Road, Sadler Road and Nuckols Road.
During a work session last month, the board heard its first formal presentation about the proposal for the project.
Planning Director Joe Emerson told supervisors that his staff generally supports the plan but objects to a proposed Highwoods proffer that would require the county to pay for right-of-way acquisition and permits related to road improvements for the project. (Highwoods must construct an additional eastbound lane on Nuckols Road between Sadler and Cox roads and an additional westbound lane on Nuckols from Lake Brook Drive to the I-295 northbound ramp as part of the project.)
"We don't feel we should be obligated to absorb the cost of those items," Emerson said.
Some neighbors of the site have expressed concerns about traffic, which already is snarled along Nuckols Road during morning and evening commutes, and the proposed height of some buildings, the tallest of which would be 250 feet, or about 16 stories.
But Emerson said that Highwoods' proposal – which would limit buildings within 150 feet of existing residential development to 45 feet in height and those between 150 feet and 300 feet of such development to 80 feet in height – was consistent with recommendations of his department's 2010 Innsbrook Area Study. That study set guidelines for a variety of future urban mixed use projects in the community, in order to establish consistency in building heights, landscaping, streetscaping, parking, signage and a variety of other features.
Still, "there is no doubt that you're going to be able to see the tall buildings," Emerson said.
Board Chairman Dick Glover (Brookland District) and Supervisor Pat O'Bannon (Tuckahoe District) both expressed some concerns about a proposed one-lane roundabout that would be constructed at the intersection of Sadler Road and Sadler Place, about 600 feet south of Nuckols Road.
"Drivers around here, I don't think they're used to this, and it bothers me a lot. . . that this is more an impediment," O'Bannon said.
But Deputy County Manager Tim Foster told the board that the roundabout – which might cost about $200,000 and could be the first public roundabout built in the county – would be safer than a traffic signal, which would cost between $150,000 and $250,000. Traffic at the intersection wouldn't yet warrant a signal, and locating an additional signal so close to Nuckols Road could create traffic flow challenges, he said – whereas a roundabout would be more effective in keeping vehicles moving.
Foster noted that roundabouts are different from traffic circles; the latter typically are larger, involve more lanes and more merging traffic and may present more opportunities for confusion or traffic accidents.
Roundabouts, he said, are smaller, typically involve just one lane of traffic and are used in less-congested areas to keep traffic flowing better than it would otherwise. On the rare occasions when accidents do occur at roundabouts, they're usually less severe because vehicles are traveling at a lower rate of speed than they would be otherwise, he said.
Glover conceded that he would support the plan if it were deemed the safest option.
Some residents have expressed concerns that construction of the roundabout would eliminate direct access from Sadler Road to Nuckols Road, but Emerson said that wasn't entirely accurate. The new roundabout would shift Sadler south into its old roadbed but still theoretically provide drivers the chance to connect to Nuckols without stopping.
Responding to residents' concerns that more development would worsen traffic, Emerson agreed that the initial impact could boost traffic numbers. But he said that the ultimate outcome of urban mixed use development often is a reduction in traffic, because some residents also work and/or shop within the same community.
"The UMU district is intended to provide flexibility not otherwise available in the zoning ordinance to achieve a unique destination, conveying a "sense of place," and providing a desirable destination to live, work, and recreate," planners wrote in a report about the proposal.
Emerson told the board that as the project takes shape and residents move in, some benefits would become noticeable.
"You'll have people coming and going over the whole day – not just at two peak times," he said.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

- Amazing Brunch!Mountaingirl1VIPDined on 11/2/2014The brunch was amazing! The service was excellent and were very attentive to the two young children we had with us. Definitely will eat there many more times!Special Features:
- Fantastic Upscale MexicanOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 10/16/2014We loved the great deal of one appetizer, two entrees, one dessert, and two margaritas for $49. The food was great with some fantastic Mexican flavors. I had the carnitas, and my wife enchiladas. The flavors were intense. Oh,and the table side axon guacamole is a must-try!Special Features:
- MaggieVIPDined on 10/10/2014Grat surprise. Very unique but exciting menu. Loved th informality but sophistication.Special Features:
- Yet another great mealReggieDined on 9/28/2014Went to the Maya earlier in the week and came back to share the whole experience with family.Special Features:
- Fantastic eveningfoodisfabulousDined on 9/27/2014Excellent service, terrific food, and what a view! The Maya is definitely on the do again and often list. Do not pass on the made-at-the-table guacamole. This is not your typical Mexican Food, it is authentic with a gourmet twist.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great birthday dinnerNoodlesDined on 9/26/2014Food was delish. Nice table side guacamole presentation. Guy working the station was friendly! We had a great waiter. They brought a special birthday dessert out for me. It was very thoughtful! My daughter loved the kids filet and the presentation was unique and different. She got to mash her own potatoes! Fun place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Best Noveau Mexican Food EverBoobooDined on 9/23/2014Maya has unique Mexican food, which is a culinary delight. Their salsa is a medium spicy smokey flavored chunky type. The chips are light, crisp and not too salty. We sampled the Chili dusted calamari, which was crispy and delicious. The carne asada beef is tender and melts in your mouth. The shrimp dishes are great. Do not miss the Mexican Fried Ice Cream, which is different than any other dessert. It looks like a banana split with grilled banana halves, three small scoops of fried ice cream and drizzles of chocolate and caramel. Yummo! Do not pay for the special Maragritas. The house Margaritas are the best. If you are there in the fall, ask for the 2 Dine For $49 - the best bargain in Vail, Avon or Beaver Creek. Do not miss Maya!Special Features:
- EBRCtCoElDined on 9/21/2014Great restaurant in Avon in the Westin. This chef always provides interesting Mexican flavored upscale dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exquisite Mexican CuisineReggieDined on 9/21/2014The entire meal was outstanding. We had the carne asada and the preparation of the meat and side dishes was excellent. The entire experience met and exceeded my expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TerrificIsadoraDined on 9/9/2014Loved this place... the service was friendly and knowledgable; the food was fantastic and innovative; the tequila and marguarita lists were impressive and the drinks were delicious; we just loved it.Special Features:
- Slow service and mediocre foodluigiVIPDined on 8/31/2014Quality of service and food simply not up to Westin and Vail Valley standards. Guacamole cart is nice idea - but not if it takes 30 minutes to get an appetizer. Entrees took an hour and 10 minutes from being seated - while the restaurant was only half full. Food itself was not bad - just nothing memorable. Will not return.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/26/2014I was there when it first opened and it was great. Went back after a year and the service was really sketchy. The guacamole made table side is good, but the order food was received was weird. Got the drinks and chips, then our salads and 10 minutes later the guacamole. The presentation needs to be tightened up. Don't think we'll be back.
- Not Just Another Tequila Sunrise!SusanVIPDined on 8/23/2014The overall experience at Maya was excellent. The tortilla soup is mind boggling! They have an amazing selection of tequilas and solve the problem of choosing by having created several "flights" for tastings! The service was great - really worth checking out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun FridayeatrightVIPDined on 8/22/2014We took some friends to Maya for the Friday night music, but we enjoyed a delicious dinner before heading out to the patio. I had the grilled vegetables, the men had the pork carnitas and another person in our group had the shrimp. All delicious.Special Features:
- delicious, interesting Mexican foodLoey6971Dined on 8/19/2014We had a table for 8 and the service - as well as the food - was very good. All diners were happy with the interesting menu and the margaritas were delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and view is great!!DiningDaveDined on 8/15/2014Friday nights are happening here out on the deck with the band. The food in the restaurant is very good. I have had the shredded chicken enchiladas the last three times. They are a good size entree. I can't wait to try the Sunday brunch!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad experienceMyOpionionVIPDined on 8/9/2014Unfortunately the food we ordered was the worse Mexican food we ever had. The Tortilla soup is a very creamy tomato soup with very big chunks of avocado and chicken - and even if the waiter said it's "spiked" - it was not. The bowl of soup also was too big as an appetizer . The Squash Blossom Quesadillas were greasy, mushy and" under" fried. And compared to the soup the price was too high .The main course "Mole dinner" tasted reheated and looked very sad.The guacamole preparation at the table is something special - but the appearance of our waiter not very appetite stimulating - his uniform was not clean! He also should wear gloves. The restaurant was not very busy for a Saturday night - we understand why!
- Modern Mexican FoodTexasyayaDined on 8/2/2014We laughed and said the modern part was that you were charged $6 for rice and beans with a $20 order do enchiladas. But since I never eat the rice and beans anyway, and there were 4 huge delicious prepared chicken enchiladas, I was ok with the deal. We both had soup instead of the table side guacamole (whichooked great) and bot orders were good. The tortilla soup is a creamy tomatoey broth and I had a fab corn bisque that was very filling. Service was very good and the view is wonderful. The restaurant is modern and airy in the lobby of the westin. Beware parking with a margarita under your belt. Use the valet parking. It is free.Special Features:
- Great late night dinnerDrJohnVIPDined on 7/31/2014-- wonderful selection of entries and drinks! don't miss the guacamole! The chips are fresh!Special Features:
- Creative Mexican Expertly PresentedGuidoVIPDined on 7/30/2014We had a superb evening on our 25th Anniversary in all respects. Reception was prompt and warm. We started with table side guacamole adroitly prepared by Randy, a talented young man with a bright culinary future. The house infused citrus lemongrass tequila formed the base of a superb margarita. The cod fish tacos, supplemented by request with grilled pineapple from another dish, were tasty and abundant. The pipian mole chicken was a sumptuous Oaxacan inspired dish that balanced multiple gustatory levels. Dessert was a celebration plate of multiple satisfying sweets. All of this great food would was accompanied by attentive service from our waiter Zach - an essential component of a satisfying restaurant experience.Special Features:
- The following 136 reviews are from the Maya reviews archive.
- Great!familyandfoodDined on 7/29/2014We came into Maya the other night with family that was in town visiting and we had such a great time. Our server Kristi was amazing, always on top of things so we didn't have to ask for anything. The food was unbelievably good.. We all ordered something different and we were all more then satisfied with our food. The margaritas were delicious as well! All in all, another great experience at Maya. We love coming back to this place, they always show us a great dining experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Try the MoleaksuskaDined on 7/27/2014Both members of our party were tempted by the mole--and not disappointed. It is rare to find mole other than the common chocolate-flavored "poblano." I had the Amarillo with carnitas, which was light with a blend of complex and subtle flavors. The carnitas were superbly tender with a crisp skin. Fried plantains, served in the mole, were expertly cooked and made an excellent accompaniment. The black beans an rice, however, were perfectly tasteless and a disappointing accompaniment to such an excellent main dish. The margaritas were also excellently flavorful, but disappointingly small and weak for the price tag ($12+)I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Meal, Attentive StaffCOFoodie1970Dined on 7/26/2014Dined on a busy Saturday night, entertaining a business associate from out of town. I dine in Maya often and always enjoy the experience, this evening was no different. The server walked through the menu for our guest and recommended their favorites. Drinks and appetizers came quickly and were excellent. Entrees were no different - excellent presentation and cooked to perfection. While the dessert menu is relatively small, each item is better than the next - we had a sampling of several and had a hard time choosing a favorite. The restaurant was very busy and the room always has a great vibe - full of energy but not overwhelming so that you can actually carry on a conversation. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hit the spot!tastysipsDined on 7/23/2014You cannot beat the view! We sat inside but with the open patio doors, we had the best of both worlds. They are known for tequila and margaritas, but I had the sangria, which was very refreshing. So much, that I had to have seconds. And the tuna gucamole with won ton chips - great combination of flavors. And we sampled several tacos, all terrific! There was great music and I also liked that I could catch what was going on with sports on the TVs over the bar, but could ignore as well. The dining room was separated and I could definitely see coming back with my kids. They would love the tableside guacamole and I cannot wait to try the crab and shrimp enchiladas next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatlorrDined on 7/20/2014The food was absolutely delicious. Great service.Special Features:
- Great Experience!familyandfoodDined on 7/16/2014My family and I had an outstanding dining experience at Maya. Right off the bat, the hostess greeted us with a genuine welcoming. She sat us in a booth where our server gave us exceptional service. Our server seemed to really care about us and to make sure we enjoyed our time at Maya. We heard a lot about the table side guacamole so of course we had to try it, it did NOT disappoint! We each ordered our own entree which none of us were disappointed. I had ordered the Filet, which was so tender, delicious and filling. All in all, this was a great dining experience!! Thank you SO much Maya!! We will definitely be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They did it again!Fun4FoodiesDined on 7/16/2014We had some out of town friends visiting so we took them to Maya. We just ate here last week and we were back again, when we walked in the Hostess remembered us and made us feel so welcome. We had Sydney as a waitress and she was fantastic and fun. Our guests had the Mole & Chicken enchiladas, they loved them both! The Mole comes with Plantains which is very authentic they said as they just got back from traveling south america/mexico last year. They said the prices were reasonable and were thrilled we brought them to this Local Gem! Next time we are going to linger on our way out in the lobby, there is a bar and a beautiful fireplace that is on our to-experience list. Noteworthy bonus: you can Valet park here for free! love that!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great small plate varietyCodyDined on 7/13/2014Shaded tables outside were limited, but we got a great table indoors right by the open doors where the breeze wafted through. This reasonably priced brunch offers a myriad of small plates - fantastic for those who like tasting menus and a lot of variety. The big disappointment was none of the signature mole sauces was available on any of the brunch dishes. However, both the red and green salsas were very good, each with its own distinctive and intriguing flavor. Brunch cocktail options were quite limited. Despite touting their extensive tequila inventory, only one style of margarita was available, albeit a deliciously tart one. Service was informed and excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Uneven and disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/12/2014This was our third time at Maya and we still think the restaurant holds promise, but its promise continues to exceed its actual execution. The margaritas were great... some of the very best I've had... and the guacamole was a quality appetizer. But after that, for every dish that was good-to-great in our group, there was one that sorely disappointed. And at these prices, that's just not good enough. Consensus is forming among our friends that Maya is a great place to go for drinks and apps during their (discounted) happy hour, but it's just not worth the money outside of happy hour and can't be relied upon to deliver a quality dinner commensurate with the prices.
- Fun, Food, Friday afternoonFun4FoodiesDined on 7/11/2014We dined here on a Friday, it was very busy I'm glad we made a reservation. They had a band and a big event on the deck, It's every Friday night they told us. The crowd was great, looked like the place to be seen. We had a great dinner, even with how busy it was it didn't effect our service. We are Locals and will defiantly go back.Special Features:
- Bad foodChuckyDined on 7/10/2014I don't understand how a restaurant like this can survive. The food was just awful. How can a Mexican restaurant serve raw beans. We also ordered carne Asada it was overcooked and cold. What a disaster of a restaurant.
- One of the best in Avon!CorySVIPDined on 7/5/2014We are owners at the Westin Riverfront. We go up to Avon every year. We always book a couple reservations at this restaurant! This is the best Mexican food we've ever had!Special Features:
- terrible serviceVailFoodieVIPDined on 6/25/2014Visited with an out of town friend, bartender was serving us. She lacked basics - filling water, refilling, cutlery replinshment, took ages to get her attention, She always seemed to be munching on something behind the bar and was less interested in the table front of her. The busser was far superior than her. The food was well presented and tasty, however lukewarm. We ordered the fundido and for some reason we got the flaming pot in front of us 10 minutes prior to the food arriving - timing was certainly off as the fumes were bad even though we tried to move it around the table.
- Don't go wit was awful.Indianabas1VIPDined on 6/21/2014Food soooo mediocre it was awfulllllllllllllllllllll is that 50 characters yet. Soooooooooo awful pSpecial Features:
- Great food, very slow service.SkierVIPDined on 6/11/2014Great bar scene, though. But you have to have patience to eat here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BermudafoodieDined on 6/6/2014unfortunately although we were told there were things on the menu that were not spicy, almost everything had a kick to it and therefore we really didn't enjoy our meal. To top it off the guacamole was tasteless...not sure how thats possible but it was not a satisfying meal regardless of the outstanding service and fabulous view.Special Features:
- Just OK Mexican FoodleftyvailDined on 5/21/2014Food was OK. Expensive for what you get. My $24 enchilada was supposedly filled with crab and shrimp, but the heavy sauce nixed those flavors. They whip up guacamole at the table. More fluff than substance. The "chef" said that cheese on top was "like a feta or a parmesan". Well, what was it? Beautiful view of Beaver Creek and the river below. Don't do the fried Mexican icecream for dessert. Deep frying is a waste of perfectly good ice cream.Special Features:
- Fabulous BrunchChrisVIPDined on 5/18/2014We had done dinner at Maya before but never brunch. We stopped this past weekend for brunch and it was great! Instead of a brunch buffet with food wasted or choices you may not enjoy, you can pay one price and order the items you want to eat. The items come out as small plates and you can order as many as you want. Essentially, you can still have your buffet but food is being prepared individually and is coming out fresh. You have two price options, one includes bottomless drinks and the other is without drinks. It is a great concept. You also have the option of ordering a la carte but at $10 a plate, why not just do the plan and then try multiple dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely try to make it back for brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mexican fare at it's best!MameVIPDined on 5/15/2014This was on our list when we are in the Beaver Creek area. What a pleasant surprise! Delicious food, creative, beautifully presented. We certainly will return. Certainly a reasonable price and fun. Highly recommend the table prep guacamole. We will return.I would recommend this to a friend.

According to new analysis released in January by Frost & Sullivan, the global waste to energy (WTE) market earned revenues of $17.98 billion in 2012 and will rocket up to $28.57 billion in 2016. More waste-to-energy plants are likely to be created in China, the United Kingdom, Central and Eastern Europe (especially Poland), and India, due in part to higher population densities.
Alright, you probably won't save the world, but with these ten tips, you'll at least be able to do your part in protecting our planet. If you're new to the whole "going green" thing, I suggest taking on one of these challenges each day for the next ten days. By the end, you'll be a green connoisseur!
I admire the energy of solar enthusiasts, much more than the Sun's light energy converted into electricity by solar panels. Journalists write on solar industries, some of them on some recent claims by PV scientists and technologists, and most importantly academicians, who claim to change the world of solar industry by their recent laboratory results.
In previous postings I have expressed my concerns about the relative return on investment and the economic fairness of roof-top solar panels. But I am also a big fan of solar power which is, after all, the most abundant and the most reliable energy source that we have at our disposal.
The world first single largest Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Project is now a reality, the multi-million dollar solar project by the government of Abu-Dhabi, the first of its kind has been completed and successfully commissioned.
In this situation demand rose throughout the week as a strong high pressure system spread across the state bringing with it colder temperatures while at the same time shorter days required more lighting. One of the more troublesome realities of meteorology is that large, stable high pressure systems are often responsible for peak electrical demand in both winter and summer because they are associated with clear skies and temperature extremes.
Traditionally, solar power has not received much attention in the Lone Star state. Renewable energy in Texas, for the most part, means wind. No other state comes close to matching the output of West Texas' wind farms. But a heavy reliance on wind has its drawbacks. Wind has a tendency to disappear when you need it most. When the state is baking in typical 100 degree August high temperatures the wind tends not to blow.
In many parts of the world there are significant financial incentives for homeowners to install roof-top solar panels. This can include capital grants for the equipment, tax write-offs and/or Feed-In-Tariffs that guarantee that electricity produced by the solar panel will be purchased by the local utility at above-market prices. In Hawaii the annual cost of these incentives is at least $200 million. In Germany it is now in the $billions.
The Energy Chronicles is a three part series examining why we believe that carbon emissions cause climate change. In Part One we looked at the history of electricity and how it is generated. In Part Two we looked at the efficiency of various generation methods and the pollutants they leave behind. Now in Part Three, we'll examine the effects of those pollutants, and what they mean for our planet.
This document outlines a roadmap to reduce carbon emissions by a significant tonnage, initially across one nation and then globally. This will be achieved by refactoring and redeploying existing technology. It will not involve the development of entirely new or novel technologies to achieve this goal.

Rihanna Races Into
A New Acting Gig
It looks like Rihanna has caught the acting bug!
The "Talk That Talk" artist has landed another big acting role, this time in the sixth instalment of The Fast and the Furious franchise.
Hot cars, hot girls and Rihanna. Yes, this casting news definitely makes sense.
But it's more than the Bajan songstress's immaculate and stunning looks that have landed her the a role — it's her great acting talent.
"Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship. Writers think she'll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn't take any prisoners — just like her in real life," says a source to The Sun. "It's a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles."
Rihanna will play a villain in the movie, which begins filming in England as early as next month. The 23-year-old musician says that dabbling in acting while enjoying her full-fledged music career allows her to try everything — if only once.
"I want to try being more vulnerable, but I want to try different things," says Rihanna. "I don't want to stick to one type of role."

The Obama administration's assassination of two U.S. citizens in 2011, Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old Denver-born son Abdulrahman, is a central part of Jeremy Scahill's new book, "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield." The book is based on years of reporting on U.S. secret operations in Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan.

In part two of our interview with Somali human rights activist and physician, Dr. Hawa Abdi, she describes how thousands of Somalis were killed in the 1993 attack in Mogadishu that is best known for killing 18 elite U.S. special forces.

In his new book, "The Way of the Knife: The CIA, a Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth," Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Mark Mazzetti tracks the transformation of the CIA and U.S. special operations forces into man-hunting and killing machines in the world's dark spaces: the new American way of war. The book's revelations include disclosing that the Pakistani government agreed to allow the...Apr 10, 2013 | Story
Anwar al-Awlaki: NYT Details How Obama Admin Justified & Carried Out the Killing of U.S.-Born ClericAs John Brennan is confirmed to head the CIA, we examine one of the most controversial U.S. targeted killings that occurred during his time as Obama's counterterrorism adviser: the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki. The U.S.-born cleric died in a U.S. drone strike in September 2011, along with American citizen Samir Khan. Al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, was also killed in a separate drone strike just weeks later. On Sunday, The...Mar 11, 2013 | Story

You could say that a filibuster occurs when a senator drones on and on. The problem with the U.S. Senate was that there were too few senators speaking about drones this week.
Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald and Trevor Timm of the Electronic Frontier Foundation join us to discuss domestic surveillance drones and the secrecy surrounding military drones around the world. "I think the importation of the war on terror and its tactics, generally, to the U.S. is probably the most significant development in the world of civil liberties," says Greenwald. Timm is also the co-manager of the @Drones Twitter...Mar 05, 2013 | Story
Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs revealed over the weekend he was initially instructed to deny the existence of the Obama administration's targeted killing program overseas. Even though the administration has since backed down from that stance, it continues to stonewall members of Congress on releasing the Justice Department memos explaining the program's legal rationale. Unanswered questions around the program have...Feb 27, 2013 | Story
As President Obama announced plans to withdraw another 34,000 troops from Afghanistan, longtime peace activist Kathy Kelly warns the war shows no end. Kelly, who just returned from Afghanistan, says the company formally known as Blackwater is now running a base just outside of Kabul used by the Special Operations Joint Task Force. On Monday, a U.S. air strike in Afghanistan killed 10 civilians. The strike hit what the NATO occupation force...Feb 13, 2013 | Story
President Obama's nominee to run the CIA, John Brennan, forcefully defended Obama's counterterrorism policies, including the increased use of armed drones and the targeted killings of American citizens during his confirmation hearing Thursday. "None of the central questions that should have been asked of John Brennan were asked in an effective way," says Jeremy Scahill, author of the forthcoming book, "Dirty...Feb 08, 2013 | Story
Thursday's confirmation hearing for CIA nominee John Brennan was briefly postponed to clear the room of activists from CODEPINK after they repeatedly disrupted Brennan's testimony. One woman held a list of Pakistani children killed in U.S. drone strikes. Former U.S. diplomat Col.

These various entries are combined into one because a prolonged lack of electricity prevented me from finishing or submitting any of them until just now. Had the electricity remained, probably only two would have ended up being written, because I try not to post more than one entry a day, in the hopes that the site won't be clogged up too badly with all my random thoughts and feelings. Also I think I'm going to start putting tags on my journals, which I haven't done before. This one takes an unfortunately large number of tags, I'm afraid.
(Just now, during dinner. Sentences in italics but not parentheses represent my unspoken thoughts)
Mom: You seem especially down today.
Me: No.
Mom: You do, though.
Me: I feel no more down than usual. Really, I don't. Although I can see that I've been acting that way. Maybe it's just a weekend thing.
Mom: It seems like more. You are usually down?
Me: A little bit.
Mom: Usually a little bit down... Why is that?
Okay so it's been awhile since i have written here; and i sense it will be long. I ah I don't know how to say this. I have used R. as a crutch not believing someone will fall for me because of the chair blah blah blah obviously stupid I know. Let that prelude the rest of this post.
I'm moving back home tomorrow or the next day. There were conditions involved and stuff. But I think it will turn out for the best. I dunno...I like my freedom and I'm really inderpendent, but we'll see. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. But my mom totally tore into my dad about how he alienates me and stuff...So thats a good thing. I dunno. I need a new friend.

AMD recently announced new mobile processors variants, the low cost Kaveri APU. As well as the Kaveri lines available on the desktop since January, the latest AMD APUs reportedly promising capabilities in the form of gaming and entertainment devices slim while improving the battery life.
Kaveri users will get support 4K resolution (Ultra HD on a laptop screen or when connecting to a television), increased ability to stream video and surround sound audio technology while using the Mantle AMD API.
Besides AMD also released the first APU based FX CPU line dedicated to gamers, as well as the AMD line Pro for business users. There is also AMD TrueAudio, audio processing technology that aims to take over the audio from the CPU. The technology will make the user to hear a greater range of sounds from different directions without relying on software implementation for maintaining audio performance.
Do not forget AMD shows benchmark for common tasks such as decoding images with results 80 percent faster than using the built-in software from Windows. So that users can see the images in a folder that contains more comfortably.
AMD also claims, when processing the photo in Adobe Photoshop CC users will gain performance as much as four times faster than Intel Core i5 processor. The whole advantage is achieved without waging a battery life of 9.2 hours, when used for browsing the internet.

She's been repeating the phrase "everyone is replaceable" every five minutes this series, but in this week's Dance Moms, fearsome dance school teacher Abby Lee Miller finally followed through on her word and announced she would be holding open auditions to find new talent - meaning some of her girls faced the chop. Cue nervous dancers, horrified moms, and a whole lot of drama. Here are the highlights from episode 3...
1. Abby annouces she will be holding open auditions in Orlando
As you can see, it went down well.
2. Abby asks the moms to tweet about the open auditions.
Again, it goes down well. "We're not tweeting about a replacement for our girls, because that's a little awkward," reasons Holly.
3. Krazy Kelly
"If Abby didn't suck the joy out of everything Brooke did, maybe we should perform better." Kelly is tired of Abby's put downs, and we predict she'll snap pretty soon. There's certainly something crazy going on behind those eyes.
4. Payton's pain
After being told off for crying over her hair in the last episode, Payton now has a legitimate reason - she falls and is in such pain she has to be stretchered out. Ouch.
5. The trio come second.
That's brilliant news, well done girls. Oh hang on, Abby doesn't look too happy about this (although at least she's not asleep, unlike the lad behind).
6. Pre-teen pep talk
Anyone would think these girls were scared of Abby or something...

Kevin Hager
Chief Communications & Engagement Officer Director
Kevin Hager is the Chief Communications & Engagement Officer Director for the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), where he oversees online strategy and engagement.
While at NCLD, Kevin has led successful efforts to significantly increase fundraising for the organization while at the same time diversifying funding streams and increasing unrestricted revenue. Working with several of the top website, social media, PR, and strategic planning experts in the country, he led the process of creating a comprehensive, forward-thinking plan to scale the organization's brand and more effectively engage key audiences. This resulted in the creation of a new, fully-funded, online strategy and engagement department overseen by Kevin.
Prior to his work at NCLD, Kevin managed the creation of the Center for Service Learning at the University of Kansas. He then moved into political campaigns, serving as the press secretary for a DCCC "Top 10 Race" and ultimately as campaign manager for a large municipal campaign before moving to New York to serve as the development director of DoSomething.org.
Kevin has presented on effective fundraising strategies at countless conferences and gatherings around the world, including at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Kevin also serves as the Secretary of the Board of Directors for the Dramatists Guild Fund.
