Woman convicted of assaulting officer in Occupy protest
Wednesday, May 07, 2014
WASHINGTON D.C. - The final defendant linked to charges stemming from Occupy Wall Street protests was found guilty of assaulting an officer by a Manhattan court on Monday.
Cecily McMillan, a 25-year-old graduate student, maintains that she was reacting instinctively after she felt someone grab her breast from behind.
New York Police Officer Grantley Bovell said that McMillan intentionally lunged at him and hit him in the face as police attempted to clear protesters from Zuccotti Park on March 17, 2012 -- six months after the emergence of Occupy Wall Street.
A video recording appears to confirm Bovell's account of the events as McMillan can be seen throwing her right elbow into Bovell's eye after crouching near the ground.
But the defense entered its own evidence to back McMillan's claim in the form of a photo of a bruise above McMillan's right breast taken the day after she was arrested.
The eight-person jury reached their guilty verdict after less than three hours of deliberation. The court was full of McMillan's supporters who shouted "shame" as the verdict was announced.
Presiding the jury, Ronald R. Zweibel, ordered McMillan be held without bail until her sentencing on May 19. She faces up to seven years in jail.
A group of McMillan's supporters, who call themselves the Cecily McMillan's support committee, issued a statement following the verdict, denouncing the proceedings and the judge.
"It has been clear from day one that Cecily has not received a fair and open trial. The job of a judge during a jury trial isn't to guide the verdict to fit his opinion," read the statement. They further called Zweibel's neutrality into question, saying that he is a "prosecutor in robes."
The group pledged to fight the verdict in an appeals court.

Perfect Summer Weekend - and Father's Day is Coming

My father grew up in Brooklyn in the shadow of Ebbets Field, and was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan all his life. He passed away in 2008, leaving us with many vivid memories of his youthful obsession with his team. An article of faith for any Brooklyn Dodgers fan was that you had to hate the Yankees, and he did, with a passion. Nonetheless, even my Dad would recognize that former Yankee centerfielder Bernie Williams, who will be coming to Syracuse this weekend for Father's Day, is a class act.

Preserving Memories
Preserving Memories
I decided to create a team for The Longest Day because Alzheimer's Disease affects both sides of my family. Both of my grandmothers, who have always been the foundation for our family, have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Our team consists of family members from both sides of the family, as well as friends who have been directly effected by Alzheimer's in one way or another! Please be sure to check out my teammates' personal pages, as they too have stories as to why they are participating in this event.
I chose the name "Preserving Memories" for many reasons. One is that I think so often we get lost in the negativity of the disease that we forget to cherish the memories that we have when all was well. The more obvious reason I chose this name is that eventually, we all hope to have a cure or way to prevent Alzheimer's...essentially forever "preserving memories".
On June 21, my team is participating in The Longest Day, an event to honor the strength, passion and endurance of those facing Alzheimer's disease. My local teammates and I will be walking the length of Manhattan (13.1 miles) to raise awareness for our fundraising activities. Other teammates have signed up to participate in a variety of activities where they are located!
Together, we can advance research to treat, prevent and, ultimately, cure Alzheimer's, and provide programs and support to improve the lives of those affected today.

The key to developing an income and expense budget is to include every element that may be part of your event. It is better to maintain a complete list of budget items, even if you don't need all of them at this moment, than to overlook an item. The budget checklist becomes a major part of your overall conference or event checklist. It provides an effective planner "to-do" list and is a valuable asset in making certain that all functions are being considered, strategically and financially. ...

Bullet-Proof Coffee... do we count the calories?
On a down day, is what I'm asking about. Not sure -- that's a lot of calories to just ignore, so I'm really unsure about this one. What do you think?
I would. Several of us here experimented with not counting EVCO, and found that a lot of us gained or stalled by not counting it. YMMV.
Ok, thanks for the input. I may save it for the UD's, then, because, with the butter added too, that's a lot of calories! :)
I never found the bulletproof coffee to be satisfying enough to abstain from eating on a DD. I would rather have black coffee and be able to eat something for dinner! :)
Heck Yeah!!!
I agree Sunday. Not worth spending the cals for.
I count the calories. It tides me over to a @300 cal dinner. The other DD that's all I had. Just the fat in the coffee. However, I'm still experimenting. For some people it may be 200 calories down the flipping drain that gives them no relief.
So, Steph -- you use it as a meal-replacement almost on the DD's? For the first two meals of the day, that is. That's a great idea -- wonder if it would satisfy me that long... I'm on my third DD today, and this is actually the first day I've had much real hunger. Must be something in the air, as I've been reading about hunger a lot on this board lately! lol :)
Is this a new thing around here? Did I miss the bullet-proof coffee bandwagon? :laugh:
but I like to know what's the what. Links to bulletproof coffee please :)
I did a Google search and found a great site with a recipe. Man, it sounds good. I was tempted to try it right then. However, I'm in the middle of a great DD where I've only had 40 calories (half and half in my coffee this morning) and lots and lots of water. I'm not feeling hungry at all and every time I step on the scale it's been going down a teensy bit every time. This may be a sign I'm getting rid of that weird bounce up I experienced yesterday morning. Don't know. Gonna hang in there. But, some time soon it's Bullet-Proof coffee for me!
This is the recipe I found:
Start with 500 ml (2 mugs) of black coffee brewed with mold-free beans (important)
Add 2 Tbs (or more, I prefer 80 grams, about 2/3 of a standard stick of butter) of Kerry Gold or other UNSALTED grass-fed butter
Add 30 grams of MCT oil for max energy, weight loss and brain function (optional if you have none)
Blend with a pre-heated hand blender, Magic Bullet, or (best) counter top blender until there is a creamy head of foam
Its really fast and easy to prepare. Allow me to stat that salted coffee is a crime. Do not do this with salted butter. Bleah.
Kerrygold butter or another grass-fed brand of butter really matters because corn or soy-fed cows dont make butter with the same fats. Those butters dont blend well, dont taste good, and dont make you feel Bulletproof.
Grass-fed butter is much healthier than other butter. It doesnt make cholesterol levels worse, it optimizes them! Starting your day with grass-fed butter will give you lots of energy and it will give your body healthy fats that it will use to make cell walls and hormones.
If youre like most of my friends who try this, your body is so starved for healthy fats that you feel like you cant get enough. It will take your body a week or so to fully turn on its fat digestion systems when you switch to a high healthy fat breakfast of Bulletproof coffee. If at first it is a little too rich, try using less butter at first and build up to the amount you like. Taking a betaine HCl or digestive enzyme supplement with your coffee will also help your body digest the butter."
After I read it, I looked up MCT oil and it sounds like EVCO would act just like MCT. So, I'm going to take Stephanie's lead and make it with coconut oil. I love the idea of blending it in the blender so it has a nice foam.
Oh, I'd heard of it before (and it's not entirely unlike the "butter tea" drunk in Asia);
I just wondered when it became a "thing" with the JUDDD BUDDDs! :hyst:
I think I found it!
Just a little warning. If you are not used to high fat, this can cause some tummy issues. ;)
I suffered a bit the first few times that I made this. If I have coffee instead of tea on a DD, I like mine black or with h/h to save my calories.
One cup of bulletproof made according to recipe has about 304 calories, but it will boost the fatburning for the day. :)
Just FYI, I do not follow the original recipe. Mine is this:
8 oz of coffee (brewed from whatever bean from wherever)
1 tbsp coconut oil (nutiva brand)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (generic brand--I've even used salted)
I whir it in my magic bullet. Then I sip at it.
The reason I started drinking it was that I was desperate to find something, anything, that would help me hold on through my main working hours until dinner. Carbs in the morning were a disaster for me. Even Greek yogurt wasn't doing the trick. Eggs were better. So, I thought I'd try straight fat.
I am not yet fully convinced that it's worth the @200 calorie expenditure on a DD, but I do admit that not only have I been losing faster, but it does seem to have some staying power.
Sounds like it's really working for you, Steph, and I hope it continues to do so. :up:
There have been discussions in a couple other JUDDD threads about whether having fat in the morning, but no protein or carbs, still counts as "fasting".
Since I'm diabetic and take my blood sugar in the morning and whenever I do food/supplement experiments, I can tell you that my body does not seem to register fat alone as a signal that the fast is over. In my case, this is bad; my blood sugar (and presumably cortisol) remains elevated for hours & hours or until I eat protein or carbohydrate. Breakfast really *is* the most important meal of the day, for people like me!!! :rolleyes:
But for those of you for whom fasting isn't a problem, I think my blood sugar readings show that fat might not "break the fast", and the benefits & fat burning will continue. :up:
I'm not sure this means that the calories "don't count".
But since they aren't triggering insulin, they probably can't get stored, so they get used up.
Many years ago, a friend taught me to put a pinch of salt into the coffee grounds before brewing--it makes it "smooth"! :D
I may try your way instead. I love coffee or tea for breakfast. :)
PJ~ I believe you are correct on the fat fast. I am going to try it again and will let you know how it goes. I have seen a lot of folks do this and fast right on through the day. I sure like to have a dinner, so I am wondering if I can't make it a 200 cal cup and then have a 200 cal dinner?
I agree with PJ on the salt. I add salt to the grounds since I read it is supposed to help with bitterness. It is a habit now so I don't know if it works or not.
BUT I don't like anything but cream as a fat source in my coffee so I won't be trying bulletproof coffee.
So ... does sweetener of choice go into this stuff? Somehow, SF DaVinci Salted Caramel seems a good choice.
BTW-- do you drink this hot, or cold?
I don't do coffee with butter, but with coconut oil. I like to do IF, and can easily go 16hrs with what Mike O'Donnell likes to call "a cup of Starvation Mode." :)
I had this this morning and it was pretty good! No hwc or sweetner. That's new for me! Blending in the magic bullet made all the difference. I tried just stirring the other day and I didn't like it.
Here's a tip on how to mix it right in the cup:
If I have to haul out the blender in order to make something AND wash out the pitcher,
I probably won't bother! :laugh:
I love my immersion blender!!!
When I made this, I used an immersion blender. I would still rather eat my cals but it was an interesting experiment.
I used Organic Valley Pastured butter....If I want to enjoy the wonderful flavor of this product, I don't want to hide it in a cup of coffee.
This is another one of those posts that, to me in England, reads as though it comes from another universe :)
Magic bullet? Bullet proof coffee?? BUTTER IN COFFEE???
Sacrilege! I don't seem to have a problem during the day now. I drink my coffee and redbush tea black (or red I suppose) and don't really feel hungry now I have slowly moved my food down the day.
I do take a few pieces of fruit into work and have miso paste, if I really need to feel as though I have eaten something - I have 3 different types so I can ring the changes, all for about 12 kcals.
LOL, it is an education for us Brits reading here isn't it?
That's quite alright. After all, you introduced me to Marmite, so the learning goes both ways. :hyst:

Updated: June 18, 2012 8:15AM
Today's column is about why some men cheat, a man who never will, and the S word.
PAUL: Sometimes men cheat because they can't deal with one of the side effects of getting older. As a man approaches his later years, he may experience loss of sexual function, which can be devastating. If he's too embarrassed to tell his doctor, he may seek out a partner who's more exciting than his wife of many years for the simple reason that it's often easier for a man to be aroused when he's with someone new.
Yes, it's an immature not to mention inexcusable and possibly harmful way of dealing with a common problem, but as we know, it happens.
SANDY: My husband came home from work with your article titled "Who's a Slut?" He said, "Here, I thought of you."
It's not the way it sounds.
My girlfriend and I live across the street from each other and have raised our kids together from the time they were babies. They played together practically every day and are still very close now that they're 19, 20 and 24. When necessary — which was often — one of us would be the "good mom" and the other would be the "bad mom." We'd switch back and forth.
As the kids got older and we talked about stuff, we would say my friend was the "good girl" in high school while I was the "slut." It started as a joke and while I did a few wild things in high school during my senior year, all in all, I was pretty shy and quiet.
It's been a running joke. We just talked about this the other day because the daughter in our group of kids was asking about something and I said, "Well, you should have asked me. I'm the slut, you know." We all had a good laugh as usual.
I just wanted to let you know that the "slut" can also be a "good mom."
DEBBIE: We met when I was 8 and he was 11. We lost touch for six years, and then reconnected in high school. We saw each other a few times at school, but that was it.
One day, I was working at a department store. He and his friend came in, and he came over to say hi. He asked me if I wanted to go for pizza. We went for pizza and drove around in his friend's car. We started dating. I didn't know he was also dating another girl.
I found out when I saw them drive by while I was crossing the street. That night, I broached the subject of his dating two of us at the same time. He told me he had broken up with the other girl that night. We dated for 18 months.
In February 1968, he asked my parents for my hand. We married in April. Forty-two years later, we're still married and, as unbelievable as it sounds, we're still in love. Love has changed with time, but it's never gone away. In fact, it's grown in hundreds of different ways.
We talk a lot, argue a lot and laugh even more. We've decided that we were together in a previous lifetime and that we're destined to be together in a lifetime after this one.
It's been an exciting, disturbing, sad, hilarious, astounding, scary and blissful ride.

Soda Lyrics - Gob
like i knew that you would come to me and we'd run away with all our dreams.
don't you think that i'd prepare a bit to try to make it all complete.
to run away is not the kind of thing that i do in a normal day,
but it's so cool that we're together and we're smiling drinking soda.
i want to jump in a lake.
sun shining down on a beach in the summer.

Wino Wednesday: Wino & Conny Ochs Cover Joy Division, Live in Germany, April 2012Posted in Bootleg Theater on August 13th, 2014 by H.P. Taskmaster
According to the numbers — and you'd best believe I go by the numbers rather than my own memory of such things — this is the 150th Wino Wednesday post. In a few short weeks we'll celebrate three full years of the feature, and I'm glad to say that I think I've only missed one week in that time. It's become a staple in my consciousness, which band, what song, live or studio, what's out there to find, what's new, etc., and I've enjoyed trying to chase down something different each time out, even if it's just another live version of "Born too Late" or something like that, bound to be familiar no matter what the source is.
This week we dip back to 2012 for some Wino & Conny Ochs. They were on tour in Europe that spring, having played Roadburn in the all-too-appropriate church setting of Het Patronaat (review here), and it was as comfortable on stage as I saw them, though by the time they got around to doing US dates afterward (review here), the collaboration seemed no less fluid. Supporting their Exile on Mainstream debut, Heavy Kingdom (review here), they offered a look at raw folkish troubadour traditionalism, of course tempered with Ochs' bleeding emotionalism and Wino's inescapable heavy rock edge.
It might be the folk that comes most to the fore on "Isolation." A cover of Joy Division, "Isolation" comes from that band's 1980 swansong, Closer, and aside from extending it, Wino and Ochs take the British outfit's post-punk/pre-New Wave melancholy and replace it with a righteous acoustic strum, so that "Isolation" sounds more like a public domain railroad song than something Ian Curtis penned before taking his own life. The build at the end is true to the original, but there's room made for a solo that extends into a jam with the two guitars before bridging back to the chorus and finishing out, making "Isolation" — which also appeared on the Wino & Conny Ochs Latitudes release, Labour of Love – all the more distinctive in this interpretation.
The clip was recorded in Würzburg, Germany on April 3, 2012 at Cairo. Hope you enjoy:

Haven't tried this yet, but I'm looking to get some this weekend! I'll edit my ratings after I've tried it, BUT... I just wanted to point out...
that fluoride is NOT a bad toothpaste ingredient. It's actually effective in preventing tooth decay... The controversy surrounding fluoride is whether or not it should be in our drinking water (which is currently required by law in some states), and that's because when its INGESTED, it can cause bones to weaken and such.
Unless you're going to eat the toothpaste, fluoride is actually good for you... It's all about dosage... We would die faster drinking water than eating the same amount of dirt... awesome!
I'm so glad I checked this out here on MA. I was looking for whitening products and came across this during my search. (I'll review the whitening product I chose later).
This toothpaste is the best!! My teeth feel so much cleaner after using this and the taste is refreshing. I'll never go back to my old toothpaste again. Since using this, my teeth are whiter, I haven't had any tooth sensitivity ( I used to use a desensitizing toothpaste), and they are much cleaner at the end of the day and in the morning when I wake up. It's like the plaque doesn't stick like it used to. I highly, highly recommend this stuff. It tastes fresh, not sweet, and doesn't foam up like regular commercial toothpaste. (Foam doesn't equal clean!)
Try it, you'll be glad you did!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this toothpaste for several months, and my teeth definitely look and feel cleaner (and whiter). Went to the dentist this morning and the hygienist asked if I was flossing regularly - I admitted that I wasn't and he said he could not tell because my teeth look great! He had to do very little cleaning - only in the areas that he said are prone to tarter, when usually it seems like the scraping goes on forever. I absolutely recommend.
FYI - The taste isn't delicious, but it isn't nasty either. Just so-so, but it works, which is what really matters.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm dealing with food allergies so I purchased this for it's natural properties. I have the gel in spearmint. My mouth does feel cleaner after using this with the Cleansing Mouthwash. I'm not crazy about the taste so I will purchase peppermint next time.
This is seriously the best toothpaste that I have ever tried, it just gives an amazing feeling of clean teeth like no other. Only regret is not having tried it before...def. HG status for me and my family.
I've been using this toothpaste for years, and I absolutely love it! It's natural, flouride-free (at least this one is), and leaves my mouth feeling clean. The best part is that it doesn't have that nasty sugary taste to it. It can be a little expensive compared to other brands, but it's well worth it. Trader Joe's sells it for a bit cheaper.
I absolutely love this toothpaste. It's the first one I've ever used that really makes my mouth feel clean and refreshed without the sugary-sweet taste. I have gone through about five tubes of this, and I recently purchased the Tom's toothpaste with fluoride because I'm concerned that my teeth aren't protected enough without the fluoride. (I also use a Tom's mouthwash that does not have fluoride.) I love all the Tom's products I've tried, and will always continue to purchase them! (One thing I do hate: metal tube packaging sucks.)
I have used this for years and will continue to buy it. My HG whitening toothpaste. Be careful though, because if you use it a lot, it may make your teeth sensitive due to the whitening ingredients. It's still better than the other brands and looks like a natural whitener, rather than synthetic. It taste okay, but I get mine in spearmint (they have 3 flavors). It rinses clean and there is no sugary coat or film on your teeth afterwards. Try a small sample first at Whole Foods to see if you like it.
"Tom's of Maine" has obviously done their homework: They offer a fluoride-free alternative for ONE reason and ONE reason only: Fluoride is TOXIC and those who know about this are seeking out a safe toothpaste. I have no doubt that they are legally restricted from stating this on their packaging. I commend them for making this safe, high quality, and gentle product. Please use only FLUORIDE-FREE, preservative-free toothpaste, regardless of the brand. It is a myth that fluoride helps your teeth or fights cavities! Please educate yourself and read this before you continue putting this toxin in your mouth or body. http://www.beyondhealth.com/fluoride-toxic.htm There are MANY other websites online that will help you see this myth for what it is...a lie. Do a Google search and see for yourself: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=fluoride+hazards
This is my favorite toothpaste. I like the fact that it doesn't have that sickeningly sweet artificial flavor that most toothpastes have. It leaves my mouth feeling minty and fresh but in a good natural way... I don't think it works to drastically whiten teeth, but it does leave them looking shiney and clean.

Recommended cooking classes in Kyoto or Osaka? Preferably lunch time/afternoon classes.
I'm the other person that booked with tsg20, and we both really loved the class with Emi at Uzuki cooking class. It was just the two of us and Emi, and lasted about 3.5 hours for 5000 yen each, for four dishes which we helped cook and then ate (which was easily enough for an early dinner)
She was well prepared with printed out recipes for each of us, a little glossary of Japanese vegetables, and some of the grunt-work kitchen prep done in advance. It felt like a good balance of hands-on, and also her moving things along if/when it felt like things were too slow.
I was a bit nervous in advance because I'm rubbish at small talk at the best of times, and trying to make conversation with someone that isn't a native speaker for 3 hours sounds like torture. But it wasn't like that at all. She was happy to talk to us about the dishes, asked a few questions, but also seemed fine when there was a lull in conversation while we each got on with our bits of cooking. Basically not awkward at all.
Our four vegetarian dishes were gorgeous and delicious, and totally unlike anything I'd made before. I would definitely recommend the school. It felt like a bit of a bargain, considering that's what we paid for a 6 or 7 course veg meal at a few temples, but without learning to do it as well.
I asked, and she also does classes focused on meat, fish, or even desserts. Definitely would check in to see if she's available when you're there.

Veg-friendly Tokyo/Kyoto + Itinerary: help fill in some blanks?
After reading loads of Chowhound threads, blog posts and restaurant reviews, here's our food itinerary for a two-week trip in early September.
I'm a vegetarian and am planning on ignoring dashi where it's unavoidable, but would prefer true vegetarian where possible. We've got bookings at the below, but could use some help filling in some gaps if anyone has any suggestions!
Here are my questions:
One day we'd like to try ramen. I understand there is a purely vegan ramen place at T's TanTan in Tokyo Station, but then my (not veg) husband is missing out on the "good stuff". I've heard that Chabuton has a veg option and thought that might be a good compromise? But I'm having a hard time figuring out locations from their website, any suggestions on the nearest to Shinjuku?
Other things we still need:
Thanks in advance!

Seafood Shacks/Fried Clams vaguely near Cape Cod?
Hi all,
My in-laws are visiting from France, and are driving from Boston to New York, with a stay in Rehoboth, MA along the way. They love seafood, and might dip into Cape Cod, especially if there's a great meal along the way.
This thread looked really helpful
They're doing this this weekend, which I also assume is off-season for a lot of places. Any suggestions for must-hit seafood places along the way would be very welcome!

i just wanted to feed back on our meal on friday. we phoned that afternoon to make a reservation, and were able to get the time we wanted with no problem. glad we did as people were waiting for tables.
we decided to share everything, and got 2 starters, 3 mains, rice and a bread basket for 4 people. two glasses of wine and one beer, total was right around $100 including tip. we all enjoyed the food-- the starters didn't seem like great value, two air-filled puffs were $9, but cheezy bits were tasty. the long-soaked lentils were a tad spicy for me (i'm a wuss), but the other three enjoyed, and i loved the spices used in the chickpeas. also had the tandoori cooked cheese, which was good but not amazing. bread was fresh and great. the amount of food was perfect, there was a tiny bit left over, and everyone was full.
overall, it was the best indian food i've had in the US. not greasy, creative spices, lots of options. that said, it was priced at a higher point that i would expect for typical indian, so i would agree with the poster above who said to think of it as almost fine dining rather than indian.
service was busy but friendly and helpful, by the way. we'll probably go back and not bother with drinks at all, and just get a few key things.

just reading through this older thread as we've recently moved here and are considering trying out tamarind bay. one thing i'm having a hard time establishing is how expensive it is-- the online menu doesn't have prices, they don't have a menu posted outside, and i've seen everything from "reasonable" to "splurge" used to describe it. if anyone could tell me the cost of an average main and/or meal for two, i would greatly appreciate it.

We were just checking out the menus at Upstairs on the Square in Cambridge, they have a nice looking tasting menu and vegetarian tasting menu as well.

I've heard good things about Brookline Lunch, just around the corner from the Middle East near Central Square. Sounds like a diner-y place, decent greasy spoon. But haven't been yet (the one day I walked down there, they were closed due to a power cut), so can't vouch personally.
And worth looking into whether Toscaninni's does brunch during the week? I know they do on weekends...

We've got most of a day in Paris tomorrow, and would love to find somewhere that has a good selection of unusual/classic spirits, if such a place exists. We'll be generally pretty central, getting in to Gare Austerlitz in the morning and taking the RER from Gare du Nord late afternoon. Other plans involve gorging ourselves on sweets at Pierre Herme, which should be good fun.
In case it helps, the bottle that would be the best prize would be some of the Elixir Vegetal de Chartreuse, but I think I have given up on finding it anywhere (after trying all over London and Limoges), but would love to bring back a bottle of something interesting in my suitcase.
Thanks in advance!

we're going to be in madison for a few days this week, and this thread has been really useful.
in case anyone has read this thread and is worried about the lack of bagels, gotham bagels is apparently new and when we stopped on our way through madison this summer, we were really impressed by the quality and frendliness of the whole place.

roadtrip from chicago through WI, around lake superior, through MI and back. where to eat?
we're playing it a bit by ear, but i suspect that we'll go all the way around, including into canada. tips for that corner in minnesota would be great. we basically decided to take this trip at the last minute, so haven't had that much time to do research, and food is probably the thing we enjoy most in our travels.

roadtrip from chicago through WI, around lake superior, through MI and back. where to eat?
we're a couple of foodies recently moved from london. we're doing a smallish roadtrip around lake michigan and superior from chicago. i'd love to have some food/snack/ice cream/drink destinations in mind along the way, as our route is totally fluid.
i've heard door county is nice, and we may do a meal on mackinac island (or just fudge, based on reviews here!), but any suggestions for places along any stretch of the way would be most appreciated.
thanks in advance!

yes, we saw them last night, pretty good! but several people have arrived from the UK this morning, so they'd like to see the regular navy pier fireworks if possible...
we're happy to watch from the lake anywhere up to belmont harbor, but having a hard time working out where we can eat and get to the lake quickly.

group dining, walk to somewhere we can see fireworks?
hello, just moved back to chicago from 6 years in london. we're getting married this weekend, and have a load of family and friends visiting. we'd like to find some suggestions for decent value food for tonight-- i'm stumped!
we need somewhere that's open tonight (tricky enough, i think), ideally somewhere no more than 15 minutes from the lake, but could be anywhere between museum campus and belmont. has to suit vegetarians and omnivores, and the group prefers not mexican, thai, cajun or pizza since those meals have happened or are planned.
am i on a wild goose chase? any help or thoughts welcome!

we had decided on three restaurants that we wanted to book in advance of our trip to hong hong-- aqua for the views, shui hu ju for the great reviews, and m-on-the-fringe for good food in a cozy atmosphere. as this'll be the first time in 5 years that i haven't thrown a thanksgiving dinner in london, i thought m-on-the-fringe sounded just the ticket for our meal on thanksgiving-- it gets great reviews, looks cozy and different and not as bustling as some places, and the menu looks great.
Oct 25, 2006lettezilla in China & Southeast Asia
a second on the anchor and hope (no reservations, so if it's two of you and you want to sit together but not at a communal table, get there before they start serving dinner for a drink)
for lunches, some of the fine dining places do great set-menu lunch deals. for example pied a terre, which is one of my favorites in london, does a set menu for £35. well worth it!

A bit ago we played 3 things you may
|Wed, 10-15-2003 - 10:26am
1) At age 13 I became addicted to drugs (hash, coke,LSD,& pills), I used daily until myself and 2 friend OD'd at 16. One of whom almost died. When I decided to go to college i decided that i wanted to help others and got my diploma as a Drug & Alcohol counsellor. It was one of the best decisions i made, i love my career, i work with women with all forms of addictions.
Well i cna't come up with anything else right now so there's mine.

Stephanie, thats wonderful your turning a negative event in your life into a positive. I too had bouts with drugs. I remember my mom getting mad at me when she found out I did LSD. My parents we're trying to discipline me. So my mom is telling me how upset she is while my dad is sitting there going "I wouldn't mind if you smoked a bag of weed, but stay away from acid".
Doing acid made me so stupid. I showed my supervisor at work my HS transcript. She goes "No you didn't start doing drugs your sophmore year". She's silly and makes drug jokes all the time. But I learned my lesson. I'm sorry you had to learn yours a tougher way.

I'll play..
1.) I am a cancer survivor. 2 weeks before my DH and I got married my dr. called and told me I had invasive cervical cancer and that I should have a complete hysterectomy before it spread. My oncologist had a different idea and we spent our honeymoon in the hospital and I had all my lymph nodes removed, and 3 different types of (basically) biopsies (sp) done. It was agreed that we would hold off on the hysterectomy , we would have our children right away and then have it done as long as I had a biopsy done every three months. So skip ahead a year and a half and we are blesses w/ a beautiful daughter. I have to have a biopsy next month and we have to decide If Sasha is the only one or if we want one more. My oncologist says we have to decide pretty much now..
2.) I am an ex-"club kid" and spent about 8 1/2 years in that scene. Sasha is in a round about way named after a DJ. (not directly, I just liked his name)
3.) I met my DH because he looked like the very first boyfriend I ever had. He had a mohawk and I had to tell him he looked my first and we have been together ever since. He says that 1 week prior to meeting me he had asked "G*d" for a girl just like him and when I came up to him in the bar he knew at that moment that I was sent from "G*d" and that we would end up married with a family. (he even tried to break up w/me at one point and realized that it was meant to be and couldn't go through w/the break up.)

I hate to jump in and only answer the original questions, but I think that it could be useful. I'll just give my own preferences:
1. A Web or Text Editor
A: I use Notepad++ as my code editor. I love the features that it has (tag highlighting, auto-indent, keyboard shortcuts for firing up webpages in different browsers, read through the documentation for more) and think it's very useful. I'm still unsure about what exactly Contribute does. All of the Adobe product descriptions are super confusing for me. I know for sure that Dreamweaver is a code editor, so I'll assume that Contribute doesn't have a code editor as that would be somewhat redundant. I think Contribute does back-end stuff. Anyways, Dreamweaver is a good code editor - but not a good WYIWYG (although that's an oxymoron). It's good, but not worth $700 (or whatever it is). I would just stick to a free code editor.
2. An FTP (File Transport Protocol) is a program that uploads your files to the server that you host your website on. When you register your domain w/ places like GoDaddy.com or Hostgator.com, you're buying space on one of their servers (a big computer that has the website files on it and sends it to people who want to visit your website so that you can see it. The FTP client (program) on your computer sends the files of the website that you've created to the server (GoDaddy, HostGator, etc.) so that people can see your website (b/c the visitors contact the server, not you at home). Filezilla, as mentioned, is a free, fast, and easy FTP client that should fit your needs. For me, Filezilla does what I need (upload stuff to the server), so I don't see any need to pay for an FTP.
3. I would recommend Photoshop. I think it's a great program (albeit expensive - but I'm a student, so :D Haha, suckers!) but takes a while to learn (I've been tinkering for maybe 5 months and don't know the entire thing :/ ). It's a super powerful tool that's absolutely packed with features that can help you out. GIMP, as noted, is similar to Photoshop - the main difference being that GIMP won't burn a hole in your pocket. I would buy Photoshop from Adobe - genuine copy that will most likely have no problems. If you're worried about cost, check out a subscription plan. Try it out for a month ($30 USD) or buy it for a year ($240), and then see if you like it. Of course, there's always the trial, which will come out after the release. You can also try the Beta edition, which is absolutely free until the release.
Good luck!
I know Notepad++ gets repeatedly mentioned, but if you use something like PHP, it simply isn't going to compare to other PHP based IDEs. I tried it, and it was uninstalled shortly after.
Eclips was good enough but I use it for Salesforce Programming.
Hi Newbie,
I am a bit of a newbie (6 month headstart and want to do this for a living, so motivated!) That said, I found that working with a good HTML / CSS tutorial was a good starting point, but I quickly signed up for an online learning site called lynda.com. Lynda.com is well reviewed and kind of expensive (either 25 or 37.50 per month) but they have great classes on all the things you might need to learn including HTML/CSS, PHP, and Javascript (if you need to go beyond HTML / CSS)
I also really like some of the suggestions about Wordpress. Wordpress is a great way to create an easy to edit website or blog. Wordpress has many "themes" available both for free and purchase that you can use to create a nice looking site fairly easily. Think of them as templates. Note though that if you need to modify a theme yourself you will not only need to know HTML and CSS, but some small amount of PHP as well.
Books are really helpful after you get going. I am a book fiend and because I am trying to learn PHP to a high level, having 2-3 good books in addition to taking an online class / tutorial is a big help. Each author provides a different perspective and after awhile you get a really great idea of how to go about things efficiently (assuming the books are good).
Don't waste time and just jump in. It's the best way (no fear!)
Best of luck
Espresso is a nice product. I didn't end up using it, but it was one of my favorites. CSSEdit is awesome. I have both Mac and PC so I like my tools crossplatform. :)

Muscling What's Left of Democracy
The Standard & Poor's rating agency has downgraded European countries in a move that may force the governments to crack down more on their populations and divert more money to wealthy investors, thus helping the super-rich short-circuit what's left of democracy, Danny Schechter reports.
