maybe in the FL for sure and maybe LA but not many other places
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
LA just likes to riot....been a while, guessing they could use some new TVs and computers
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
No question in my mind. I think it will be ugly either way - rioting because he's innocent or celebratory rioting because he's found guilty.
I'm so happy I'm twerking on the inside!!!!
I love a good duck shooting game!
Broward County Sheriff's Office Prepares Zimmerman Verdict Riot Plan

On Monday, the Broward County Sheriffs Office released a video calling on the public not to riot in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict, expected this week or next in Florida. The Sheriffs Office released a statement explaining that it was working closely with the Sanford Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies to coordinate a response plan in anticipation of the verdict.
The video, titled Raise Your Voice, Not Your Hands, focuses on attempting to channel reaction into non-violent response. It depicts two youngsters, one black teenage boy, one Hispanic teenage girl. Raise your voice! says the girl. And not your hands! says the boy. We need to stand together as one, no cuffs, no guns, says the girl. Lets give violence a rest, because we can easily end up arrested, says the boy. I know your patience will be tested, says the girl, and then both conclude, but law enforcement has your back!
Lets back up and choose not to act up, and deputies are with us, so no need to act up, says the boy. Let it roll off your shoulders, says the girl, its water off your back, dont lack composure, because in one instant it could be over. Both conclude: So lets make the choice to raise your voice and not your hands. Sheriff Scott Israel says, Im Sheriff Scott Israel, and law enforcement does have your back.
Freedom of expression is a constitutional right, the Sheriffs Department states. While raising your voice is encouraged, using your hands is not. BSO has created a public service announcement with the help of kids from the Jason Taylor Foundation, H.A.N.D.Y. (Helping Abused, Neglected, Disadvantaged Youth) and basketball star James Jones of the championship Miami Heat team urging young people not to let their emotions get the best of them.
Sheriff Scott Israel said, We dont have information about a specific event that might take place at the conclusion of the trial, but we encourage everyone to keep any protests peaceful.
The Department says that it is keeping its channels of communication open with community leaders, civic activists, members of the clergy, as well as local, state and federal agencies.
Excuse me sir.... But you look like i need a drink
like ive said before bigger cities will burn N.O., southside of chicago, a few Florida cities will but i dont think LA will or atlanta.

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (AP) - Palm Beach County authorities have identified the pilot killed in a small plane crash in Lake Worth.
A sheriff's office statement released Monday says 33-year-old Timothy Johnson, Jr. of Miami was pronounced dead on scene. National aviation officials are investigating.
The plane crashed Saturday afternoon inside John Prince Park. Authorities say Johnson took off from Lantana Airport to fly to Tamiami Airport in Miami. The plane was seen at an awkward angle after takeoff, banked, then nosedived into a stand of palm trees and burst into flames.
No one on the ground was injured.

Top South Beach Restaurants
- netmover Aug 17, 2006 03:05 PM
I'm getting a little bored with what I'm seeing here since the big upgrade...so allow me to stir it up some!
Here's my brief list: (I will only put places I've been to, so feel free to fill us in on yours)
Expensive: >$20/entree
Osteria del Teatro
Joe's Stone Crabs
Smith and Wollensky
Pacific Time
Moderate: <$20/entree
Taverna OPA
Toni's Tokyo
Sushi Siam
Joe Allen
Budget: <$15/entree
News Cafe
Nikki's Beach Club
Le Sandwicherie
Loco Taqueria aka San Loco
Big Pink
Finnegan's on Ocean Drive (not Lincoln!)
I agree. The participation on this board has taken a nosedive since the upgrade. The posting with the largest participation is one for Mexican food with a California twist (which being from California, I can understand the dilemma)? Give me a break! I'll chime and and agree with most of your posts except with Nikki Beach. Is it really a budget place? I havent' been for a while. Also, have you tried the Finnegan's on the River? I drove by it a few months ago but apparently it's now open. Another reason to cross the bridge.
I moved to Miami a year ago from Los Angeles and was just going to ask if the board traffic was affected by the fact that it is off season. I like a lot of those on your list and will have to try a few others. I would add Prime 112 and River Oyster Bar to the list of over $20 and add Tamarind Thai to the under $20 list.
How about Wish in the >$20 category? I've always loved that place.
And as far as less participation, I would attribute it to the "off-season" reason. The California board is quite busy lately.
re: lax2mia
Yes...It's for USC, but also combined with the initials of my company.
Weirdly, I also find that the dates of updates seem to be screwy as well since the upgrade - there is nothing new in a thread yet it moves forward 3 days - go figure.
I second adding the River Oyster, and I'd add Su Shin in Coral Gables to Moderate and Dogma (Upper East version) to Budget. Come to think of it, had a number of good meals at Le Bon over the summer months too - add them to Expensive. Finally, I'd add on that the Rosinella's downtown is great too, if the OP meant the one on Lincoln.
Also, although it's not my list, I think in this town you need a Very Expensive list as over $20 for an entree (like River) and over $35 and entree (like Wish) necessitate a whole different level of quality in order to recommend.
BTW, with the new registering requirement, I had to forfeit my old handle, so I'm Bill (hard to believe someone already had it, huh?) for those who remember me from my Orlando days.
Tonight, it's China Grill for the Spice menu. Anyone tried the Spice menu at Baleen yet this year?
Lario's belongs on the list too! I am not sure how I forgot that one? Best Cuban on the beach.
Fifty got a great write up in the New Times this week...does anyone have anything to say about this Ocean Drive eatery?
Another budget place I forgot to mention was the Creperia on Espanola Way and Tapas and Tintos, also on Espanola Way.
Having been here for soo long I cannot beleive I have never eaten at Escopazzo! Is it still as good as they say? I see where they are participating in Miami Spice, but were above putting their Spice menu in print? That raises a red flag for me. Have you been lately? Has anyone done Miami Spice there? Every time I go for high end Italian, we wind up at Osteria del Teatro...just too good to change.
re: foodnwineandy
I agree with the Escopazzo review, I had a wonderful experience there, good service as well as the food. Creek 28 in the Indian Creek Hotel is definetly a up and comer on the beach as well. They have a beautiful outdoor dining area and great prices.
My 2c ->
I'd add Talulah to my list in the $$$ category - one of my favorite places on the beach.
Went once to Ola after they moved to the beach and found the place awfully bright and sterile (esp. compared to the great space they had before on Biscayne). I like to think I pay the most attention to the food and not the atmosphere, but I found the experience wasn't nearly as pleasant. Go figure.
Went to Pacific Time for the first time in several years recently, and the place just seems tired. They had pretty much the same exact menu that they had 10 years ago. It was like a time warp.
Really enjoy Mark's every time I go, but never think of it - maybe because it is awfully expensive, even comapred to other pricey places on the beach.
I'd add Cafeteria in the $$ range, and Piola in the $ range. Also find Jerry's Deli to be pretty reliable although their prices stretch the upper range of bargain dining.
Only been to Mr. Chu's once but thought it was pretty good - not enough of a sampling to vouch for it though.
Has anyone else tried Creek 28? Years ago there used to be a nice restaurant in this space but I suspect it's a struggle b/c it's out of the way.
re: Frodnesor
I love Creek 28. Reminds me of old Abby Dining Room.
Creek 28 has same exec chef as used to be at the Abbey. I was excited to hear there's a new restaurant at the Indian Creek, but the "sample menu" on the website looks really uninspired and didn't inspire me to go.
Glad to hear it's good - what do you like there?
It's OK. "Uninspired" is a bit harsh, but actually suitable. It's one thing had the food not been well executed and I've been to many overly inspired (read Vix) places that haven't executed so Creek 28 gets points for that. Plus a wine list that is so reasonable as to be insane by Miami standards. The restaurant has a nice outdoor setting and the service is friendly and efficient. There's no reason this place should not be around for a while as an "old reliable".
Well-made food and a fair wine list will go a long way with me. Agree on Vix as well - this place looked great (although outrageously pricey) but the best thing was the bread plate (which, I will say, had a great combination of Indian-inspired breads and dips). It was interesting enough that I'd try it again, though, so long as someone else is paying.

U.S. Launches New Airstrikes in Iraq
The United States on Saturday air dropped humanitarian aid and conducted airstrikes against Islamic State targets in and around Amerli, a town 100 miles north of Baghdad that's been under siege for over two months.
The U.S. Air Force delivered aid alongside aircraft from Australia, France, and the United Kingdom, according to the Pentagon.
The U.S. dropped 109 bundles, according to U.S. Central Command. Carrying out the drop were two C-17s and two C-130s, delivering approximately 10,500 gallons of fresh drinking water and approximately 7,000 meals ready to eat.
To support the humanitarian assistance mission, the U.S. military also conducted three airstrikes in coordination with the Iraqi security forces responsible for protecting Amerli, Centcom said in a statement.
Fighter aircraft struck and destroyed three Islamic State Humvees, one armed vehicle, one checkpoint, and one tank near the town. This bring the total number airstrikes conducted by the United States in Iraq since Aug. 8 to 118. Both operations Saturday were requested by the Iraqi government.
"The operations will be limited in their scope and duration as necessary to address this emerging humanitarian crisis and protect the civilians trapped in Amerli," Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said in a statement Saturday night.
Amerli, home to at least 13,000 Shiite Turkmen, has been under siege for over two months. Islamic State militants surrounded the town, and cut off food, water, and medical supplies to the thousands of people who live there.
Holding back the militants have been a few hundred local men, but without outside help they had little chance to hold them off much longer.
Calls for help in Amerli began earlier this month, and on Aug. 23, Nickolay Mladenov, the head of the U.N. Assistance Mission in Iraq, warned that immediate action was needed to "prevent the possible massacre of its citizens."
On Tuesday, Iraqi warplanes reportedly started bombing the area while Iraqi forces, aided by Shiite militias, prepared to launch a counteroffensive to break the Islamic State's siege.
The Defense Department said it was monitoring the situation and ready to assist, if needed.
Local fighters had seen U.S. warplanes and drones flying over the besieged town for days but not striking, according to Hayder al-Khoei, an expert on Iraq at Chatham House, a policy institute based in London.
"Nobody's taken our eye off of that township and the struggles in that township," Kirby told reporters at the Pentagon Friday.

Whole Foods--Portland, ME
Anyone been to the Whole Foods store that just opened in Portland? I read they're trying to feature local products. I'd love to hear from anyone who's been there.
The new Whole Foods is great. I think that some things were a little overpriced. The seafood counter especially, with Atlantic Salmon @ 10.99lb and Chilean Sea Bass @ 22.95lb. In general, I think the seafood counter is the least impressive aspect of the new store. I love their meat counter, which includes strips and porterhouses that have been dry-aged in house, and at 19.99lb and 17.99lb respectively, a pretty good deal. Their produce seems to be priced very similarly to Hannafords (lemons .79, limes 2 for $1, bananas .79) and some really great deals as well (San Marzano Tomatoes 28oz cans 2 for $4, normally 3.79 per can at Hannafords). Obviously, Whole Foods is known for their to-go/prepared foods, which includes lots of hot, ready-to-eat things (salad bar, trail mix bar, Italian bar, dessert bar, gelato bar) as well as packaged things to heat up at home. Most of it looks pretty good and is pricey, but not crazy by any means. If you happen to love sweets and cheeses, then you will really love Whole Foods, since both departments are excellent. Overall, Whole Foods is a lot better than Wild Oats, which has a much more limited selection and is definitely more expensive across the board.
In terms of the local product thing, when you walk in the front doors, there's a sign listing the number of Maine made products currently available. Last week the sign said 500.
I feel that Whole Foods prepared foods look much better then they taste, whereas Wild Oats has better tasting prepared foods. I feel they are way overpriced, but they are a specialty market. The bread dept. at Whole Foods sucks, whereas the bread dept at Wild Oats is great.
I disagree Irwin - I actually found the almost the same bread selection (including When Pigs Fly) at Whole Foods when I went there today.
I like the place, but wish they had a few more "plain old everyday" items like Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup. Despite the selection at Whole Foods, I STILL need to go to Hannaford to find things that the kids will eat...
Right now parking at Whole Foods is a real challange - if you are eager to try the place out I'd visit during off-peak hours, especially if its your first time in the store. The good news is that there are SEEMING THOUSANDS of employees to help you find things - when was the last time you found employees at Hannaford or Shaws conveniently in the aisles, just to help you out (not that I expect that level of customer service to LAST)?
I live nearby the new Whole Foods and have been there a number of times since they opened on the snowy 14th (went there that day and it was MOBBED, snow and all). I think it is a lovely store--at least from what I've experienced so far. I'm still getting to know the place, and honestly, I think it will take a while to become well acquainted. It is always very crowded, so its not a place you can get in and out of quickly, it seems, at least not right now. Hard to find parking, too. But one thing I do notice is that that meat dept. is very good--lots of selections for organic or natural beef,chicken, pork, etc. and reasonable prices for the quality, I think. Cheese selections seem excellent, too, and also priced well (got high quality Reggiano Parm for 9.99 vs. the usual 14.00 per pound). As for local produce, I think they are doing everything they can to feature Maine-grown stuff in the dead of winter.--got some great potatos today from a local producer. How much they offer during peak season will be more telling of the commitment to local farmers. I agree about the prepared foods--ok but nothing to rave about. Better than a lot of places, though--still pricey. Had lunch there with my 8 year old son there today before grocery shopping--he loves the different food "buffets", esp. the gelato selections and italian pasta, and samosas (an indian friend of mine complained about how bad they are, though--of course, she is a great cook herself). Let's face it, though--prepared foods are never going to be fantastic, so I don't think it is reasonable to expect that. I do think they are decent, though, and I know I will buy and enjoy them. There is a lot and I haven't tried enough yet to comment on the specific offerings too much. I appreciate the post about WF and hope we can continue to share our views here as we all get to know the place a little better.
My overall feel of WF right now is that they are working hard to both dazzle this community and to meet its needs. Doesn't feel like a Portland Maine store (this might not be a good thing)--very urban. I do think it trumps Wild Oats by far.
Important note: Hannaford on Forest (and I think the chain) no longer will carry Wolf's Neck Beef which means they have no natural beef at this point. What little they do carry at this point from W.N. is not very fresh, it seems, and extremely limited. Very disappointing and the timing of the discontinuance is particularly bad and not smart, given the opening of WF. I plan to express my dismay about this to the store manager and I encourage others to do this as well.
This place is incredible looking. It really feels like an event when you are in there. I really can't wait until the summertime with the outdoor seating at the Trattoria. I think this would have all but killed the Public Market had it not closed anyway.
Being so busy is a great sign for people wanting to invest in that area. Within a year or two you will have the Miss Portland Diner across the street, a 9 story Intermed building, 400 people in new student housing building, Pearl place, etc.
It really will act as an anchor to that area and I suspect it will stay that busy for a long, long time.
I think the new Whole Foods certainly adds something to the community, but my report isn't entirely as glowing. First off, I think it's a real loss for Portland that Wild Oats was purchased by Whole Foods. According to the woman at the W.O. checkout, they'll begin calling themselves Whole Foods within 6-8 weeks, and the store will of course almost definitely close. Competition is healthy, and despite the proximity of the two stores, Portland is pretty well starved for produce options, especially in the dead of winter. Having the two stores really helps when one decides to charge, say, $5.95 for a bag of celery (to be fair, it's a price I've only seen at Wild Oats so far).
Whole Foods is quite impressive and overwhelming upon first entry. Well - not entirely. The parking lot is a disaster, an unbelievable miscalculation (not sure if they any alternative) and a bevy of car accidents waiting to happen. The store itself appears huge and super sized and all that. But I've noticed when you go to individual sections to look for basic stuff - pasta, canned tomatoes, bread, to name a few, they're often surprisingly small. The pasta selection is anemic - smaller than Wild Oats. As another poster mentioned above, the bread counter is disappointingly small.
Bulk is also a good bit better at Wild Oats, and was MUCH better at the Whole Grocer. Anyone remember that neat loose tea section from the W.G.? Gone. It seems that Whole Foods really put a strong emphasis on prepared foods, and I don't mind having some options, but it comes at the expense of some of the more standard whole/health food selections you'd like to see. As a for instance, the new store has an enormous flesh festival as a meat section - more meat than I think I've seen anywhere at one time, complete with a chili/BBQ bar (an alternating menu of three kinds of chili, none vegetarian ever). But when I asked an employee if they had any kind of veggie bacon, she had to withdraw into the back of the store and came out with only tempeh strips, which wasn't what I was looking for. Granted they just opened, but I for one am sorry to see such an emphasis on meat products throughout the store, and comparitively such meagre treatment of vegetarians (who have a tough time of it in Portland to begin with).
As for the prepared foods - some are really quite good. Comments above notwithstanding, the Indian food at the Indian bar is excellent - right up there with the best Indian food available in Portland. But as with all the other Indian food here, it is starkly overpriced. A full container - barely enough for two people - cost me over $15, and for the same price I can get some quality food made to order. It's not so much that the W.F. prepared food isn't worth it - it's just that at the prices they're charging it ultimately doesn't really add a viable option to the scene for me.
The trattoria and cafe area looks nice, although it's far more formal and upscale than the very casual Wild Oats cafe, and it's impossible to access the tratorria area without passing through the (often mobbed) checkout area. The result is that the cafe feels like just another expensive restaurant in a town that has no shortage of them. It serves a purpose, but the Wild Oats cafe offered a far more unique service to the town.
Anyway, as for right now, I think I will do most of my shopping at Wild Oats until it's gone. The experience is far more hassle free - no parking lot disaster, no endless lines at checkout, and, aside from prepared food and fresh meat and seafood (I think the Whole Foods seafood counter is actually excellent, and, since it's open until 10, a great addition to Portland. Wild Oats' seafood counter always kind of grosses me out), Wild Oats seems to have as good or better a selection when it comes to standard health food type products.
All that said, the arrival of Whole Foods, with or without Wild Oats, does not alleviate the need in Portland for either a genuine health food store, or better still, a local food co-op. I like the convenience of Whole Foods and Wild Oats, but I'd gladly sacrifice a touch of that to support a locally run co-op with far more sensitivity to the vegetarian/health food population. I don't really need aisles of prepared meat and a dessert bar - I'd like a more compact, homey, local-oriented shopping experience, and Portland of all places should be able to provide that. And I HAVE heard whispers that a Portland co-op is in the planning stages (I am not involved....as yet) so here's hoping.
re: Dan S.
I agree with many of your points, Dan S., and while I feel primarily positive about WF, I have ambivalence about it, too. And you are right--it is not easy to get in and out of the place and WO is much more accessible. This is a real problem because it makes going to the grocery a huge event and I avoid it unless I am doing a major shop (not worth the hassle for a few things). The trattoria/prepared food area needs some work--given that they have made it such a huge part of the store (too huge, in my opinion), they really need to have a couple of registers dedicated to the take out section, maybe even located in that section, and perhaps they should treat the area as almost a separate endeavor. It is a real inconvenience to wait in a long line of filled shopping carts to pay for your lunch. And given what they profess to be, they should be attending to the needs of vegetarian eaters--and eaters of all kinds. And I am a carnivore (omnivore, actually, I like ALL food) who is very pleased to have a large, high quality, natural meat selection (though I think the prepared meats--ribs, etc--are excessive). I am worried about the employees at WO--I was there yesterday and spoke to a cashier, too. She said she was worried--apparently they have been told there will be jobs at WF for them, but nothing is clear. I'd be really mad if those dedicated employees get screwed in this deal. I hope some WF administrators will be reading our posts here on Chowhound. I suppose we can also write directly to the company to share concerns and offer insights for improvement as they enter this community.
Having said all of this, overall, I like WF so far. In my limited shopping experience there, my impression is that the prices are better than WO. Some of their items are priced lower than the same items at W.O., e.g., Poland Spring sparkling water for .99 instead of 1.19. I like that I can buy organic Heinz ketchup there (my son hates the other brands), and many products under their own label are very reasonable and good. The parking situation needs improvement for sure and there are other glitches I've already mentioned or alluded to that I hope they will address (another seemingly small but annoying thing, since I am complaining, is how the sun glares into the front of the store in the afternoon so you are blinded if you are standing in line--some kind of window shade to quell the glare would be nice). I hope they make changes as they learn more about the needs/wants of people here. I like the idea of a food co-op in Portland, too
re: liveforfood
For what it's worth, there is one checkout lane solely dedicated for lunch takeout.
Last Wednesday was my first visit to Whole Foods. I foolishly thought I could dash in and pick up one item that I have been trying to find for weeks. I liked what I saw, and I was able to find something that I couldn't find anyplace else. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a quick in & out, even in mid-week. Maybe that will change once the "shiny, new" factor fades. I agree with the above sentiments on the horrible parking situation. Not only was the lot filled to capacity, there were cars parked illegally on the adjacent street. Naturally, PPD "parking fairies" were right on it. I ended up lurking near the store exit and following a customer out of the store to get a parking space.
re: beaner2
I did the same thing--its the only way to get a space. I, too, hope it will change when the novelty of the place wears off. It will be a drag if it continues on like this--and I know that alone will discourage me from shopping there. I just don't have that kind of time on my hands.
And so here we have it: a giant overpriced disneyworld of a grocery with inadequate parking and absent many of the staples sold in the well-established small store it replaced. My reaction: claustrophobia and agoraphobia at once. What a kick! Not.
The practice of making food prices clear and easily compared doesn't sit well with Whole Foods' management: it's often very hard to figure out what you're really paying for something.
From available evidence, once Wild Oats is subsumed, you won't be able to get pork shoulder, or hanger, skirt and tri-tip steaks. Green Mountain coffee. And a bunch of other stuff too I'm not thinking of tight now, for sure. Of course there's Pat's, but what fun is that? (Kidding)
I went with my boyfriend to the Trattoria yesterday for lunch. We ate at the Sushi bar. I don't believe the prices were ridiculous but I definitely left hungry. And what's with the employees not being allowed to accept tips? But horrors of horrors at our "health-conscious, environmentally friendly Whole Foods", they served my boiling hot Bridal Bouquet Tea $3.50, in a POLYCARBONATE cup.
Overall, I must admit I had fun shopping there after lunch. I did leave feeling very poor and a little sad. It doesn't seem right that only wealthy people can afford to shop there.
re: Keefer Lucas
At the Whole Foods near Milwaukee WI one can indeed wander around glass-of-beer-in-hand or glass-of-wine-in-hand.
re: Keefer Lucas
Great idea! What do you say, Chandrika????
re: liveforfood
I just learned that the WF Gelato bar serves mostly gelato made in Portland by Maple Organics on Forest Ave. I like that!
As for the dessert bar, I hope they get rid of it. It's kind of gross. Who would eat that glop?
I do like Ed's Tantalizing Tofu, and some of the other prepared foods.
re: mainehound
The gelato is very tasty--and I'm gald they use Maple Organics. But, I think there are two kinds there, from what I was told--the M.O. brand and then the gelato they make right there in the store. So you need to ask what's what. I agree with mainehound about the dessert bar--it is kind of gross. Huge trays of tirmisu, fruit crisps, etc. These kinds of desserts do not stay appetizing once spooned out into a plastic container. Also, the same issue applies to all the prepared foods sitting in trays--that things get soft, or dried, and generally lose their appeal the longer they sit. The dessert buffet in particular is reminiscent of the Picadilly Cafeteria, minus the Ambrosia (for those of you who know of this Southern chain). I hope they at least get rid of the dessert bar, too, and maybe some of the others. Its a little over the top.
re: liveforfood
Yea, that's not going to happen. Every larger whole foods I've been in has had something similar to it. I'd be more apt to get something from the dessert bar though than any of the hot/salad bars, especially the meat hot bar. Though, to be fair, at least the meat and dessert bars are made in house and aren't shipped from Mass.
re: mainehound
This is Kristie from Maple's (actual business name is Maple's Organic Desserts (: ). Right now about 2/3 of the flavors at the Whole Foods gelato bar are ours, and therefore certified organic and local. The other flavors are made on-site from a mix, allowing them to do some very cool mix-ins with leftovers from the candy bar, etc. There are signs on the flavors indicating which are ours and which are store-made, though you do have to look pretty closely.
re: liveforfood
Her last day, I've heard, is this Saturday.
By the way, when I last looked at the WF in Mass., those 2-for-$4 San Marzano tomatoes are from the very non-Italian province of California. Read the label.
I actually found it funny someone said that Whole Foods is far cheaper than Wild Oats. Having been to a multitude of both stores across the country. Whole Paycheck didn't earn that nickname by being price beaters. Although I found it funny how cheap things were when they first opened up here in Portland, I also found it funny how a little more than a month later, their prices are slowing creeping back to the pricey level.
They definitely have approached the Portland area though with a beautiful reckless abandon. Surpassing store size and approaching (gasp) Wal Mart size as far as "Organic" Grocery store. And as soon as they complete their deal of buying Wild Oats and shut down it. They'll be able to run the town they want to...until of course Mr Joe's comes around.
It's weird how many quoted prices are in the previous replies. Almost like people are reading their receipts. I usually only remember prices of items I buy or want to buy at a later date. I doubt the WF would have people posting on here.. Or would they.
Watch out Lois Natural Foods in Scarborough. Your next.
re: reflections
The Bollard just ran on essay article that did a price comparison on WF and Hannford. Go to http://www.thebollard.com and search Whole Foods.
re: serendipityeats
Looks to me like WhoFooMa is taking one from the Wal Mart playbook.
Note that the prices for eggs and milk are cheaper at WF, but everything else is 25% more expensive. This is classic retail psychology: most people know the prices for staples, so when we see cheap eggs, we usually infer that everything must be a bargain. Most big box stores use this trick to create the illusion of low prices, and then they raise their prices once the local competition sinks.
Stacy Mitchell writes about this in her book Big Box Swindle - a highly recommended read.
re: serendipityeats
Actually the problem with that is that, as they are farther and farther away from their Grand Opening... their prices slowly get back to their "Whole Paycheck" prices. This is definitely something they don't shy away from.
So I would like to see their price differences in 6 months and a year. Then you'll see just how "cheap" Whole Foods is.
I love the irony. Right in the midst of Portland's junk yards and its homeless people is this temple to yuppiedom. The parking lot is a constant traffic jam made up of Lexis', Mercedes, and other such, all pouring in from the burbs. I really enjoy walking around looking at all the food I can not afford. They do have good prices on bulk granola ( which Whole Grocer did and Wild Oats does not), their 365 store brand stuff is usually reasonable, and they do buy up bulk lots of cheap wine which one can get down (just make a statement while checking out that you are picking it up for a poor neighbor so you do not look like a peasant in front of the people purchasing the good stuff)

Police are looking for two men that took money and personal items from two victims in the Citadel Mall parking lot. Around 10am yesterday, two victims were walking to their cars and approached by the suspects, who showed a gun and then ran toward Platte and Chelton. The men are described as two black men, one wearing a white hoodie and the other wearing a black hoodie. Police think these same men pulled off an earlier robbery on Monterey road.

On the occasion of the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), BMW has announced U.S. pricing for the 2013 BMW M6 Coupe and the 2012 BMW M6 Convertible. Including destination and handling, the all-new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible will carry a MSRP of $106,995 and $113,995, respectively.
Compared to the last U.S. price (2010 M6 models) of $102,350 and $108,150 respectively, that's a price increase of $4,600 or 4.5% for the M6 Coupe and $5,800 or 5.4% for the M6 Convertible.
The 2012 M6 … CONTINUED
Over the past four days BMW has been wining and dining the lucky recipients of sales awards (including site sponsor Ryan Amico of Steve Thomas BMW) at the BMW Sales Award 2011 event. The F12/F13 M6 convertible and coupe were on hand as well as the F10 M5.
This represents the first showing of the F12 M6 convertible, which will make its auto show debut next week at the 2012 NYIAS. Hotlap rides were given in the F10 M5.
Check out the event photos … CONTINUED
We previously reported that the 2013 M5 (F10) US pricing will be announced upon the 2012 NYIAS which takes place the first week of April. We've now learned that the 2013 M6 Coupe and 2012 Convertible [official info] US pricing will also be released at the same time.
The 2012 M5 was recently announced for the Canadian market at a starting price of $101,500 CAD. Expect the US pricing for the 2013 M5 to be somewhere in the high-$80k to mid-$90k range. And if the previous generation … CONTINUED
Check out our walkaround video of the 2013 BMW M6 coupe from its debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Also see the impressive attention to detail on the M6 coupe by BMW with its functional underside/rear diffuser.
The all new 2012 BMW M6 coupe (official info thread) is the star of the BMW display at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow, based on our affinity for the car and how swarmed the car was. It's no wonder given the M6′s hard-to-miss Sakhir Orange color, sculpted carbon fiber roof, and very aggressive bodywork.
And the F13 M6 coupe has got the performance to match its looks. Its 560hp/502 lb-ft torque propels it from 0-62mph in only 4.2 seconds (compared to M6 convertible's 4.3 sec and M5′s 4.4 … CONTINUED
The 2012 M6 coupe and convertible were recently announced and revealed by BMW, but this is the first live public look yet at the M6 coupe in production guise. Even while parked, the M6 and its very aggressive bodywork looks fast!
The upcoming flagship M car – the M6 Gran Coupe, has now begun cold weather testing in Sweden.
It will directly challenge the 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG by utilizing the best BMW has to offer in terms of quality of materials and powertrain. The M6 Gran Coupe will be powered by the 4.4L twin turbo V8 S63Tu engine, but may very well feature a power bump from the standard M6 coupe and cabrio's 560hp (maybe in the range of +20hp or so) in order to give … CONTINUED
The new 2013 BMW coupe (F13) and convertible (F12) have been priced for the German market.
The M6 coupe will start at EUR 123,600 and the convertible at EUR 131,000.
To give other markets an idea of how much the M6 may be priced, the M6 coupe's German starting price is 20% higher than the F10 M5, which starts at EUR 102,800.
For a little math fun and speculation, how much might the M6 coupe and convertible cost in the US? Any guess would be very speculative since … CONTINUED
If you haven't already seen, the 2013 BMW M6 web special and visualizer has come online (@ http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle…isualizer.html).
Now you can preview what your favorite F12/F13 M6 combination may be by choosing among the M6′s available color palette and wheels options.
The colors to be made available will be Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Havanna, Silverstone, Space Grey, Imperial Blue Brilliant Effect, Singapore Grey, Sakhir Orange, and San Marino Blue.
Wheels choices are 19″ Style 344M and 20″ Style 343M wheels.
As with any new model release, it's very interesting to see how the new model fares against the predecessor. We were curious how the stunning all-new BMW M6 Coupe (F13) and Convertible (F12) compare to old M6 (E63/E64), so we've compiled a photo and specs comparison. Big thanks to member HKS786 who put together the comparison photos.
First videos of the 2013 BMW M6 coupe (F13) and convertible (F12). BMW M's sporty new coupe and convertible looked great in photos, but look even better in motion. Check it out via the "VIDEOS" tab inside.
The debut of the all-new 2013 BMW M6 models also marks the debut of the long-awaited M Carbon Ceramic Brakes option. Details are limited so far but we've compiled what's known so far:
The M Carbon Ceramic Brakes have bigger rotors at the front axle (410mm vs 400mm standard), reduce the unsprung weight by 19.4 kg or 42.8 lb, and obviously increase fade resistance. While the standard brake calipers for the M6 models are painted in dark blue metallic, the carbon ceramic brakes are painted in a … CONTINUED

Justin Bieber: Honoring Kelly Kapowski, Ogling Selena Gomezby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Justin Bieber had an eventful evening at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto last night.
He won the trophy for International Video of the Year, he flirted publicly with Selena Gomez and he paid homage to a pair of beauties: Selena, of course, and Kelly Kapowski, the lovable Saved by the Bell cheerleader portrayed years ago by Tiffani Amber-Thiessen.
We'd say Gomez ought to be jealous, but it's clear she still does something for Justin herself. Alongside a photo of Bieber giving Kapowski props, look at his reaction to Selena's low-cut top...
Hello, Kelly! Hello, cleavage!
Yo u people let them be together its not your life so stop talking trash, also what if that was u would u like that i guess not so stop it, and for your information they are happy together so leave them ALONE!
Selena is startin to act diffrent and making justin act diffrent too. She's is becoming a slut and she's usin justin 4 her career and she will think its fine to break his heart because its all apart of the business
I hate girls like that but honeslty what can you do. As long as she's not preggoo even though she won't be because justin is really catholic and they believe in sex after marriage but aslong as she doesn't break his heart and he's happy I'm content!
that last comment i made a mistake it was gonna say justin was singing off pitch how could this be
hey what was that kareoke thing that makes me sick to my stomach WHY DID THEY HAVE TO BE A COUPLE!!!!!! EWW GROSS KISS I LIKE THEM BOTH BUT NOT AS COUPLE JUSTIN WAS SINGING HOW COULD THIS BE I THINK IT BECAUSE HE IS TOO IN LOVE WITH THIS STINKIN PRETTY GIRL SHE IS ONLY DOING THIS TO HELP HER CAREER CAUSE JUSTIN BIEBER IS A SUPERSTAR I REST MY CASE :(
hello i think selena needs to stop trying so fucking hard to keep justin so what he wore a shirt of tiffani big deal theres no need to look like the slut you are selena get a fucking life and not the one having your tounge shoved down justins throat all the fucking time thats why you dont want to be nobody esle you slutty bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My name is Jenasia Nelson I'm not like the other girls I think your cut
Like them but like you for who you are. Please write back love Jenasia nelson
dear..no need to fight
im also wearing short shorts
and just ignore people who talk about u r outfit
selena and miley are celebrities
and no one cares what are they doing and wearing
pepls just talk talk and talk and create big issue
they dnt do anything more than that
just dont care about peoples
Mileyfan forlife does bring up a good point. If this was a picture of Miley Cyrus in this EXACT outfit and her boyfriend Liam was looking down her shirt like that, people would be calling Miley a slut for it. We all know that's people's immediate reaction to Miley Cyrus wearing or doing anything even a little sexual. It's called bias. Either way, it's not wrong to wear short shorts and a low cut top. It's a matter of personal choice and only ignorant, narrow-minded, immature people get angry at a person for what they're wearing.
that stupid lil perv she better not be pregant with him
i only like some of his songs nnot all of them but i hate him
stupid selena for falling for him a 17 year old lov3 people your age
While Selena is petite and can possibly wear anythn...Not fair but big girls deal with it everyday

For the first time, the Edison State College commencement ceremony included students earning a baccalaureate degree in Education. Just after the ceremony began, the Edison State College Board of Trustees, Faculty Senate and the Executive Vice President surprised Dr. Kenneth P. Walker with Edison State's very first baccalaureate degree in Education.
"Dr. Walker's body of work exemplifies that of a true leader in education," said Dr. Noreen Thomas, Executive Vice President and Lee Campus President. "He has dedicated his personal and professional life to finding new pathways for students to reach their educational goals. He is genuinely an advocate for expanding education."
This is also the first time in the College's 48-year history that an honorary degree has been awarded.
"Dr. Walker is a national leader in the community college baccalaureate movement. It is because of his leadership Edison State College is able to offer bachelor degrees to our students," said Mary Lee Mann, Edison State College Board of Trustee Member. "This honor is a perfect match for his many accomplishments."

I use these typically all weekend long while we go food shopping, to the mall, or just about anywhere. They come in various colors and I'd like to acquire a white pair. The black is great because it goes with nearly everything but sometimes a girl just needs something different. The single thing I will say about the shoes is assuming that you're in between a dimension for example I use either 8 1 / 2 or 9 you're better off buying down. However they're not so enormous I can't wear them as I stated I'm wearing them all the time! Orthaheel Sale.
I have often wondered how come we have sent man on the moon, but still must go through pain to wear lovely shoes! Often times magnificent looking shoes actually can cause long-term difficulties. Do you know heels may even reshape the leg muscles and tendons, so that women who wear heels often might find it uncomfortable to walk flat-footed shortening them. But unfortunately we still pick conceit over comfort because we often believe comfortable shoes mean plain shoes! And once you have experienced back/feet pains, it's nearly impossible to wear any kind of shoes for longer interval. But Orthaheel shoes are here to alter all that!
I am always in the search for comfy shoes. For me mylife is quite frantic, and I am constantly on the run, from going to school meetings,blogging activities to working full-time. My program is complete and I am constantlybusy and my feet feel it! Sometimes I need to dress professionally and sneakersare not appropriate. Comfortable shoes that are beautiful and professionalare something I'm in desperate need of a great pair of shoes that are stylishand can resist all of what I can place the shoes through all while retaining myfeet comfy.

Family Dollar Stores, Inc.(FDO) operates a chain of self-service retail discount stores for low to lower-middle income consumers in the United States. The company is a member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats index, after raising distributions for 34 consecutive years.
Over the past 10 years this dividend stock has delivered an annual average total return of 9 % to its shareholders. After peaking at 44 in late 2003, the stock fell all the way down to 15 in 2007, before recovering all the way to 40.
At the same time company has managed to deliver an impressive 8.40% average annual increase in its EPS over the past nine years. Analysts expect EPS to increase to $2.60 in FY 2010, followed by an increase to $2.95 in FY 2011. Increases in sales will be driven by expanding the current store count by 2%, as well as increasing same store sales as price conscious consumers purchase the company's value-priced assortment of everyday necessities.
The once cash-only stores now accept PIN-based debit card payments in most locations. Food stamp and credit card acceptance is also being rolled out.
The company has benefited from the recent financial crisis, as some middle-class consumers have traded down to its store locations for everyday items. Family Dollar also drives traffic through limited time offerings as well as stocking up on treasure hunt items which creates customer excitement.
The ROE has been hovering in the 18% - 21 % range over the past 10 years, with the exception of a brief dip in 2005 and 2006.
Annual dividend payments have increased over the past 10 years by an average of 10.10% annually, which is higher than the growth in EPS. A 10% growth in dividends translates into the dividend payment doubling almost every seven years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1976, FDO has actually managed to double its dividend payments every five years.
The dividend payout ratio expanded slightly over the past decade but remained under 30% throughout the period. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
FDO is attractively valued with its low price/earnings multiple of 16.30. The current dividend yield of 1.60% however is low for my taste. I would consider adding a partial position on dips below $31.

Curious as to how you chose $31 as the buy point?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 9, 2010 at 9:14 AM
Big fan here. I am curious as well. I assume you have an article on your methods but while I'm at it, I'd appreciate a link or explanation as to how you figure out your buy point.ReplyDelete
Been following DGI for a while myself. He was my inspiration for getting into the stock market. I really enjoy his analysis and use something very similar when I analyze companies of interest.ReplyDelete
I can't speak for DGI, but my guess at the $31 price is the current yield criteria. Personally I won't invest in a stock without at least a 2% yield. At $31 the stock would yield 2.06%.
Thank you all for the comments. I did use $31 as an entry price, at which the stock would yield 2%. Because this is below my minimum yield requirement, I am only considering adding a partial position at that price.ReplyDelete
The company offers some outstanding profit and dividend growth, which is an important factor in a dividend portfolio.
Or one could purchase a higher yielder like Kinder Morgan (KMP) and a lower yielder like (FDO) and be able to enjoy the high yield with the high growth component.

Secure your Sport Jet in a stable area. Make sure your boat trailer is secured with blocks behind the tires and on level ground if possible. Go to the water pump cover and look at the rear starboard corner of the cover.
How to Start a Sport Jet Out of the Water
A Sport Jet is a type of boat that is manufactured by the Mercury Marine Corporation. This style of boat is desirable because it uses jet propulsion instead of propellers or skegs. This allows for shallow water navigation that propeller powered boats cannot handle. If you need to service your Sport Jet, you may want to pull it out of the water and work on the engine. You should never try to start this boat's engine out of the water without a flushing kit. It you tried to do this, you could seriously damage your engine. Purchase a dealer style flushing kit for your Sport Jet from a marine accessories dealer. There are consumer flushing kits available but those are not designed for starting your Sport Jet while it is connected to it.
Things You'll Need
- Dealer style flushing kit
- Garden hose
- Water source
Turn the connector in a counterclockwise direction to disconnect the inlet water line.
Connect a garden hose to a water source on one end. Connect the other end of the hose to the inlet water line in a clockwise manner. Turn the water source on.
Turn the engine of your Sport Jet on by using the key start or the electronic push start button.

Founder Melissa Johnson was hit with a lawsuit for infringement and unfair competition shortly after she established her organisation in 2008, six years after the Thriller superstar's own charity, also named the Heal the World Foundation, shut down.
Estate executors argued the new company had no real link to Jackson, even though the superstar's mother, Katherine, had agreed to work with Johnson and encouraged Michael's three children to get involved.
But the two parties have now worked out a deal following a meeting on Monday, April 18 between estate lawyer Howard Weitzman and Katherine Jackson's legal advisor, Perry Sanders.
According to TMZ.com, Johnson has been granted permission to use the late singer's name and image in association with the charity, while Katherine has been made a member of the board of directors to oversee the foundation's work.
The lawsuit is expected to be formally dismissed in court on Tuesday, April 19.

Imperfection Lyrics - No For An Answer
I've spoken my piece, please leave me,
Let me sleep,
I'm not a saviour, can't be a judge,
I will not enter one's life as such,
Is it the burden of one who speaks his mind,
To then defend it with all of his time?
My guilts, my instincts, they guide me,
My beliefs,
And thus I see mine as a just cause,
Full knowing my compensation has it's flaws,
Aware of the fact that I am just a man,
Accepting of the strength and wisdom you might have,
I'm imperfect...and just a man,
I'm imperfect...I am just a man, human.
I've spoken my piece, please leave me,
Let me sleep,
I live and love outspoken and that's my fate,
Ignoring the oppurtunity curse that's hate,
Stating it for the record as is my right,
I still pursue the cleanest mpst righteous life.

Our favourite tour of the trip. If you get RC as the guide and Tony as the driver, you are in good hands. They take you to the top of Mt Haleakala and you freewheel down the 29 switchbacks. Definitely worth the money.
Apart from that we didn't see a lot of Maui apart from the main drag.

Help Making Potato-Crusted Fish
We had dinner last night at a restaurant that offered a potato-crusted halibut. It was delicious, and I'd like to recreate it at home, with help from fellow Chowhounds.
The halibut filet (I imagine it could be sea bass or something else) was wrapped with thin slices of what looked like small red or fingerling potato. It was crispy outside, but the fish was moist.
I'm guessing the procedure was to:
- very thinly slice fingerlings on a mandoline/Benriner
- lay out the sliced potatoes "shingle-style" on saran wrap, then place the filet on top
-wrap the saran around the fish (ala Michel Richard), and refrigerate to hold.
Other guesses?
But from there, I'm baffled:
- Would this be pan-fried, using tongs to get all 6 sides crusty? Wouldn't that disturb/peel off the potato slices?
- Would this have been brushed with olive oil and roasted in the oven?
-How could the chef know when the fish was done if it was covered with potato.
I'm thinking the potato may well have been par-boiled before being sliced. Then wrapped as you describe and brushed with oil all over. I'm also guessing that they browned one side of the fish, flipped it and put it in a very hot oven which would brown the potatoes on all sides. By the time the potatoes are browned nicely, the fish will be cooked.....that's just a cooking faith thing.
re: ccbweb
If cut very thin the potatoes will not need to be par-boiled to be done but it will help to make them stick. I've done a similar dish but made a potato "pancake" by layering ultra thin slices of potatoes in a non-stick skillet and browning on one side then flipped it and laid two cod fillets on the browned pancake and slipped it into a hot oven. The juices from the fish meld into the potatoes and it comes out wonderful. The potatoes are brown and crusty. I remove the fish and cut the pancake into wedges and serve with the fish on top. The potato crusted fish recipe sounds great. Let us know how it came out and if you had any trouble with the potatoes sticking to the fish.
In a 2002 NY Times article, a certain top chef cheats by laying fish fillets in milk, then coating them with dehydrated potato flakes (the instant mashed-potato stuff).
In a long-ago thread a chowhound suggests soaking the fish in buttermilk and seasonings, then doing the dehydrated potato coating.
Thank you!.
The par-boiling and/or pre-sauteing ideas also seem to have added advantage of preventing the potatoes from turning brown.
And the milk and seasonings should also help keep the fish moist and make it all stick together.
Also, I recall that Michel Richard sometimes will mix steamed shredded potatoes in a little unflavored gelatin and butter before he refrigerates them. Perhaps it's worth trying that with the sliced potatoes, and spreading them out on saran, placing the fish on top, wrapping and refrigerating it all.
I'll do some experimenting in the near future and will report back.
I would think a larger potato, like a full-size red, would work better (fewer "shingles"), at least until you get a feel for the method.
Speaking of wrapping halibut, I wrapped some filets in prosciutto recently and pan-roasted it. The flavors were outstanding, but we had this problem where we kind of mashed into the fish while trying to cut through the prosciutto crust. I imagine potatoes would be easier to cut through than crispy prosciutto, but i would try to make sure it doesn't over-crisp lest you experience my mushing problem.
jfood made this dish many years ago and does not fully remember all the fine poins but here it what he remembers from waaaay deep in memory.
- used a side of fish not a filet; potatoes on one side only
- did not par boil potatos
- could figure out how the thin slices would stick but jfood guesses the starch from the potatoes had a lot to do with it.
- cooked in an oblong nonsick with a little evoo and the when the potato side was browned and cooked through flipped carefully
- finished in oven, potato side up and then plated from there.
- needed a good sprinkling of salt to give the potaties a good zip.
the jfood really liked it.
That' sabout what jfood remembers.
I coarsely grate the pototoes (although thinly sliced on a mandolin would be comparable), season with s & p, then brush the fish with dijon mustard and adhere the potatoes thereon. Brown in olive oil, then finish roasting in a 350 oven about 10-15 minutes.
I was expecting to be excoriated for this post, but I see it has been mentioned already. After trying and failing at this for several years, I read about, and tried, the dehydrated potato flake trick. It worked. The stuff may make revolting "mashed potatoes", but it makes a beautiful and quite tasty crust on thin fish fillets or pounded chicken supremes.
Season the potatoes well with salt, pepper, and whatever else. Dip the protein in milk, buttermilk, eggs, or a combination. Dredge the protein in the potato flakes. Saute in clarified butter until golden.
(It is rumoured that said chef also uses Tang, and not dehydrated/powdered orange zest, to create intense "orange" flavours.)
