A Nod and a Wink Lyrics - Camel
tired little eyes.
Time to climb the wooden hill.
Sleep tight
safe in the night.
Wander through your dreams at will.
The stars are awake
and blinking their silvery tears on the moon.
Don't be afraid,
for carpets of magic can fly through the sky.
It will take you wherever you wish,
but come back to me
the same way that you leave.
In day or night, in dark or light,
just come back to me
the same way that you leave.
Then you can always find me in your dreams.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
Oregon plans on making a number of improvements to Navarre Avenue (State Route 2) based on an Access Management Study conducted in 2012 that examined the safety of vehicles pulling out of businesses onto the busy thoroughfare.
Although the $2,718,327 Navarre Avenue safety project is in the design phase, it is scheduled to be completed in May 2016.
The project will be financed though the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Safety Fund, and City Street Improvement Fund. According to Public Service Director Paul Roman, the project will include the following:
Roadway improvements
The city also plans on a roadway improvement program this year, which consists of resurfacing and/or repair of various streets throughout the city. The $800,000 project will include asphalt resurfacing, pavement planning, base repairs, underdrains, catch basin adjustments, and curb replacements.
"As we emerge from the recession, the city is really ratcheting up its capital expenditures on roads," Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley said on Wednesday. "I think it's going to be the largest local road expenditure budget we've had that anyone can remember in the city's history."
Mayor Mike Seferian said the city may reevaluate the program and provide additional funds to repair roads due to the harsh winter.
"We have a very handsome road program this year. But we may add funds from our rainy day fund so it may grow even bigger. We have that latitude to do something like that," said Seferian.
Also planned this year is an $800,000 waterline replacement program consisting of 6,000 feet of new waterline will be a multi year plan that will "improve the physical infrastructure to meet the taxpayer's needs," said Beazley.
Additional infrastructure programs scheduled this year, according to Roman, include:

put the disc in for the first time in a couple weeks, hard freeze within 30 seconds of getting in a hawk. this will be the last santa monica studio game I buy. the game is less than a year old and they can't be bothered to fix and maintain the servers, they suck.

I agree man, also GG's lately. Seems like I have seen you in quite a bit of servers.
yup. Good Games :-D i always forget to join the Starhawk Weds LOL. always miss it by an hour or so. Starhawk with Southern dude is always a good laugh. I was surprised you guys played today. It's usually Wednesdays hehe. Hopefully I won't miss the next Starhawk Wednesday haha
Hard freezes are caused by no-life hackers who overload whatever server they are in purely to crash everyone's game/PS3. Apparently due to TOS I am not allowed to name these accounts so continue to suffer I guess. This has been going on for about 2 weeks, and has nothing to do with the servers themselves.
If you get kicked back to XMB (no PS3 reset, just XMB) while in a hawk-> Genuine glitch in the server coding.
If your game disconnects while loading (no boot to XMB, no ps3 reset)-> Genuine glitch in server coding.
^ both are fairly rare.
If your PS3 goes through a hard freeze for any reason (Screen freezes, PS3 resets, formatting/scanning happens when you turn it on)-> morons deliberately crashing servers with alt accounts.

"These save the dates were great for us with having a few favorite pictures from our engagement pictures. The quality of the images are beautiful and very detailed.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday home in Casuarina Point - Abaco Key Lime Beach House
Luxurious New 3 Bed, 3 Bath, Beach Home, Large Open Living/Dining Area & Deck
Casuarina Point is a unique location with beautiful, crystal clear shallow water. This area boasts some of the prettiest white sand beaches in the world, one of which is at your doorstep. The reef that protects the bay provides for calm waters unlike many oceanfront beaches. With several small uninhabited islands in the area you can always find something to do. There are blue holes, shoals, flats, sand banks and at least three very private beaches for swimming and picnics. If you like fly fishing for the elusive bone fish you need not go any further than right out the front door. Several of our guests have caught them wading less the five hundred feet from the house. The sand banks in the area are a great place for the young and old to discover new things like rays, star fish, shelling and sand dollars which we can guarantee that you will find. There is much to do if you wish to get out and explore.
For your use there are four kayaks, one of which is a tandem and the option to rent our small motorized boat. The thirteen foot Boston Whaler will allow you to venture further and discover even more. Our home is situated such that the beach is on one side and the canal access is on the other therefore you will be able to use the boat regardless of tides. Our home is the only one in Casuarina Point that has no restriction due to tides.
Should you decide on having us arrange deep sea, bonefish or snorkeling charters the captains can pick you up at your doorstep. Once again the only place in Casuarina where this can be done.
Our home is elevated for good breezes and provides spectacular views of the blues and greens of the bay during the day and millions of stars at night. Watching the moon or sunrise over the bay can be an exhilarating experience. Beach chairs are provided along with lounge chairs for the sun deck. On the covered porch we have an outdoor dining table with seating, Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs and a stainless steel Kitchenaid grill. There is a Tiki Hut on the beach with beach chairs that provide you some shade on the beach and a nice place to have lunch.
Keylime Beach House is very well outfitted as listed below with ample space and very comfortable furnishings as you will see by the photos and items listed. Wireless internet and cable throughout, local and internet phone provided.
3 ensuite bedrooms, all with spectacular beach views, top quality furnishings, linens and towels. 1 king bed with double shower & walk-in closet with entrance to covered deck. 1 queen bed with shower and large closet and entrance to covered deck. 1 queen bed with tub/shower & closet. All bedrooms have flat screen TV's and excellent views of the beach, bay, ocean and surrounding islands. For those who may like to sleep late the bedrooms have blackout curtains for the areas where sunlight may be an issue.
The living area has leather sofa, love seat and chair with ottoman. A 52" Flat Screen Smart TV, DVD player, IPod doc and surround sound. Games, Movies, Music provided, Books and Cookbooks.
Inside dining table has seating for eight. Breakfast bar seating for three, porch dining seating for six.
Kitchen and breakfast bar have beautiful granite countertops, full size refrigerator with icemaker, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, hand mixer, blender, Cuisine grind & brew coffee maker, can opener, toaster, fondue pot, food processor, flatware service for 12, cooking utensils, cutlery, bake ware, dishes-service for 12, beach coolers, glass and insulated tumblers, barware, cookware and a large variety of spices.

About Donna Rees
James and Donna Rees owners of Key Lime Beach House are licensed Brokers and also Owners of Abaco Island Properties Bahamas, with office located in Marsh Harbour.
Working as Real Estate Agents in Abaco for the past 8 years, both are familiar with Abaco, it's mainland and outer cays. Key Lime Beach House is a new and exciting venture. Having always dreamed of owning their own beach home, now their dream has come true. They are eager to share it and look forward to making friends from all corners of the world.
Donna Rees purchased this house in 2012
Why Donna Rees chose Casuarina Point
As children, both of us spent our summers in nearby Cherokee Sound, James with his father who owned a bonefishing camp and Donna with her Grandparents who lived there. We both always have loved the sun and sea and the quiet, relaxing beauty of Casuarina Point and the surrounding area. We raised our children and always dreamed of returning. We enjoy taking a sunset boatride or kayaking in the Bay. Sometimes we just sit and float with the tide. The water is so crystal clear you can see so many sea creatures that you have never seen before. Sometimes there will be a pod of dolphin playing in the channel in front of the house. So here we are, living our dream!
What makes this house unique
We feel safe here and the Abaco's friendly people just make life wonderful. We purchased the property 11 years ago and always dreamed of having a beach home. This property is unique because we enjoy boating and we can keep our boat at the back door and just steps to the beach to go for a swim. We love watching the schools of bonefish 'tailing' as they feed in the shallow water. The boat basin is like our very own aquarium with tarpon, bonefish, mullet, many other small fish and crabs. We just love being close to nature and the private location at the end of the community. We can take a moonlit stroll on the beach and not worry about a thing.

Die-hard, DIY-savvy Lady Gaga fans are probably already lining up at their local butcher counter to pick up the raw (ahem) materials necessary to replicate the steak dress she wore to Sunday night's VMAs. But heaven forbid you use hanger steak where you should have been draped in short ribs. Ottomanelli Brothers butcher Peter Cacioppo breaks down the look for the New York Daily News, spying flank steak on Gaga's head, plus her bodice looks like the outside of the rib. Over the shoulder looks like it does come from the shoulder.
L.A. Weekly begs to differ in their butcher's diagram, ID'ing the hat as a T-bone, the dress a mash-up of strip steak, tenderloin, kalbi, and flank steak, and boots wrapped in rump roast. Designer Franc Fernandez says it took him two days to stitch the protein-rich garment it probably could have been a lot faster if he'd gone with meat glue but either way, it's a pretty good deal as far as awards-show dresses go. You got about $100 of meat there, says Cacioppos nephew, Mark. Its the cheaper end cuts not including her.

Reclaimed Brazilian telephone poles repurpose as a handcrafted A-frame table that telegraphs a clear rustic modern message.

Erykah Badu
Matchbox Twenty At The Electric Factory
May 23, 2000
By Joey Sweeney, FOR THE INQUIRER
Like Shania, Celine and Whitney, matchbox twenty is emblematic of the tidal bland-out of contemporary Top 40 - a zone where all the songs sound the same, all the sentiments are paper-thin, and every coo and growl is a market-researched contrivance. Together, this crew constitutes what is probably the most popular genre today: music for people who don't like music too much. Despite not having released an album since 1996's 10 million-selling Yourself or Someone Like You, matchbox twenty remains modern-rock radio wallpaper.
Erykah Badu At Electric Factory
May 12, 1997
By Kevin L. Carter, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
On Friday night, Erykah Badu, who wore her elaborate orange turban and surrounded herself with Eastern accoutrements, ankhs and burning incense, looked like a cross between an ancient Egyptian goddess and Afrocentric interplanetary traveler of the future. She sang like an angel. In an Electric Factory packed with people of melanin, Badu, throughout her loping, stylistically liberated (and liberating) set maximized the potential of her minimalist setup - drums, bass, keyboards, and three singers - by focusing her energies inward.
Venue Vu Electric Factory's Back
October 11, 1995
by Jonathan Takiff, Daily News Staff Writer
The old adage "you can't go home again" could be proved false by concert promoters Larry Magid and Adam Spivak when the new music venue dubbed the "re-opened" Electric Factory opens tonight at 7th and Willow streets. Female blues- and folk-tinged rockers June Rich, hard-edged Solution A.D. and bone-crunching Dandelion, plus Strapping Fieldhands and the Headlong Dance Theater, are booked for the all-local-act opening. And there's a lot more diversity where that came from - including important imports like the New Orleans jam band knockouts the Radiators on Sunday, edgy Sonic Youth next Wednesday, Pittsburgh's heartland rocker Joe Grushecky with his unbilled special guest Bruce Springsteen on Oct. 19 (an instant sellout)
moe. and then mo' moe. at Electric Factory
January 1, 2004
By Fred Beckley FOR THE INQUIRER
Even in a holiday season, or maybe especially then, you can have too much of a good thing. Five guys named "moe. " proved this Tuesday night to a capacity crowd of folks in their 20s at the Electric Factory. Measured in minutes, the band played 66, rested 41, played 99, rested 2, and played 20 more. And that after opener Antigone Rising filled 50 minutes with hard-rock cliches. No live recording ever really captures the incarnate moe. For $20, you could have bought Tuesday's show, well-rendered on three compact discs, on your way out the door.
Suffragette Sessions Tour At Electric Factory

By Fred Beckley, FOR THE INQUIRER
Amy Ray wants to put one thing straight: "No causes," she says. "The only cause is towards us. " So don't go to the Electric Factory on Wednesday expecting to raise your awareness, pledge your support or register to vote; the Suffragette Sessions Tour doesn't benefit this or spotlight that. "No," Ray says, "it's basically just performance the whole time. " She and fellow Indigo Girl Emily Saliers conceived of the SST five years ago while sharing a stage with Siouxsie Sioux and Ferron.
Overdosing fans derail Electric Factory concert
December 4, 2012
BY STEPHANIE FARR, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-4225
ZED'S DEAD is an electronic band that took its name from the Quentin Tarantino thriller "Pulp Fiction. " The film includes a grisly overdose scene - and at the band's performance Saturday night at the Electric Factory, fact mirrored fiction when at least four people overdosed, causing the gig to be canceled, according to the fire department and social media. Police responded to the Electric Factory, at 7th Street near Callowhill, about 8 p.m. and found nine concertgoers passed out from possible overdoses, the Associated Press reported.
Council bill resurrects Electric Factory billboard fight
November 17, 2012
By Troy Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer
The fight over a billboard on the Electric Factory building - perhaps the most litigated sign in the city - has returned. After a decade of legislation and lawsuits over whether the owners could throw a "wall wrap" advertisement over their building at Seventh and Callowhill Streets, the proposal was thought dead when chief patron Frank DiCicco retired from City Council this year. But DiCicco's successor, Mark Squilla, resurrected the proposal on Thursday with a twist. Under his bill, 20 percent of the advertising revenue would go to three local elementary schools and possibly several community groups.

Sum 41, the reigning kings of fresh-scrubbed pop punk, offer plenty of ammunition for their detractors. But at Friday's show at the Electric Factory, the Toronto outfit proved it could pull off one hour's worth of loud, spanking rock-and-roll and make the very young, capacity crowd believe it - which in today's pop world is more impressive than it sounds. Sum 41 is four bratty, brazen, and basically good-natured suburbanites who have chosen punk's (and metal's) spectacle as a way of letting off steam.

Review: Disco Biscuits take over the town
September 30, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
It's no secret the Disco Biscuits love to play. Formed at the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, named for the '70s feel-good drug Quaalude, the Biscuits merged the jam-band form familiar from the Grateful Dead and the all-day-all-night sensibilities of a techno-tronic rave with electronic beats and boings to match. Along with launching Camp Bisco's music festival for improvisational bands and DJs in Upstate New York, the Biscuits play mini-fests, called City Bisco, where they take over your town and several venues for a stretch.
Christina Perri returns home with new album
April 18, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
A young woman moves from the Philadelphia area to Los Angeles, where she waitresses her way through the music business until a mutual friend of hers and the producers of Fox Television's So You Think You Can Dance uses her emotional song "Jar of Hearts" during its broadcast. " Stardom ensues. We're talking about Christina Perri, who hits the Electric Factory on Saturday night. That honey-voiced single sells 3 million-plus copies, she releases her debut 2011 album, Lovestrong , places her song "A Thousand Years" in the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in 2012, and tours relentlessly to sold-out crowds.
Play-acting with Childish Gambino
April 1, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
Despite Donald Glover's pedigree as a writer for 30 Rock and his starring role on Community , there's nothing funny about his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino, and albums like Camp . Caustically witty and weirdly metaphorical with an oddly jagged sound track, yes, but hardly the stuff of stand-up or sketch comedy. Then again, during Gambino's Electric Factory show Friday, you couldn't help sensing this was performance art, with its drawing-room set and e-speak projections in accordance with the backstory of his album Because the Internet of a tweet-happy socialite bugging out in his mansion.
Dr. Dog soars before sold-out crowd
February 4, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
One of the remarkable things about Philadelphia's Dr. Dog - and there are plenty - is how and what this band has changed, and kept the same, since its start in the late 1990s. Singer-songwriters Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken (who started their partnership under the name Raccoon), along with keyboardist Zach Miller, began their lives as Dogs with a low-fi, pop-psychedelic aesthetic and silly chord changes reflecting their dippy lyrics. Today, there's nothing low-fidelity or daffy about Dr. Dog's words or its grand, aggressive chamber-psych sound - be it the shaggy Be the Void of 2012 or 2013's B-Room , the latter album rich with the plush feel of Philly soul at its most lustrously harmonic.
Washed Out returns with hotter sound
December 14, 2013
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
On a snowy Philly weekend, the once and former king of chill-wave, Ernest Greene of Washed Out, is in a nice, warm place. "Mexico is great," Greene says. "Our set last night was on the beach, right as the sun was setting. Pretty much the best possible scenario for my music. " Greene and his ensemble play Electric Factory this weekend. Washed Out's now-classic 2011 album Within and Without was dozy synth-pop of the most frozen (and sparsely recorded) order. But Washed Out released a warmer album, Paracosm , this summer, and has been touring ever since.
Philly's Running of the Santas: The original is still the greatest
December 6, 2013
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
The scene: a Saturday afternoon in December. A Santa appears in the frame, walking through Old City. Muscular and tall, not your usual Santa, but, OK, you can deal with a slender Santa. Then a short, blond guy Santa appears in Rittenhouse Square. Then a goateed African American Santa, similarly appointed in the usual red-and-white fur, materializes in Washington Square. Two redheaded women, decked in Santa gear, appear in University City and the Italian Market. That's when you realize: You're in the middle of the Running of the Santas, a Philly-originated tradition (created 1998)

Neko Case makes art from loss at Electric Factory
September 28, 2013
By Dan DeLuca, Inquirer Staff Writer
Neko Case's new album, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You , is one of those works that benefited from the personal torment of its creator. Worse , which brought Case and her five-member ensemble, including assistant front woman Kelly Hogan, to the Electric Factory on Wednesday, is not a breakup album. It's a collection of original songs - plus a cover, of Velvet Underground singer Nico's "Afraid" - spurred by the death of Case's parents and grandmother.
Fall Out Boy stay young together at the Electric Factory
June 2, 2013
By Sam Adams, For The Inquirer
Depending on how you read it, the title of Fall Out Boy's Save Rock and Roll can be seen as a call to arms or a comic-book boast: Are they asking us to save rock, or letting us know they've got the situation in hand? At a sold-out Electric Factory on Thursday night, they were cheerleaders and saviors both, rallying an adoring crowd and urging them to find their own way. Part of the motivation for "Fall Out Boy 2.0," as bassist Pete Wentz dubbed the band's return from a four-year hiatus, was inspiring younger generations to pick up the torch.
A musical mission across the U.S. to raise epilepsy awareness
March 23, 2013
By Michael Vitez, Inquirer Staff Writer
Eric Miller felt he had waited his whole life for Carolina. "She was exceptional by every measure," he said, "smart, full of life, beautiful. " When she died, suddenly, from an epileptic seizure in August 2011, at age 26 and not even two years after their wedding, he was driven to do something in her memory, to find meaning in his grief. So he set out to try something a tad crazy, arranging 50 concerts in 50 states this weekend - including by guitar great Eric Clapton - all to raise epilepsy awareness.

Daryl Eugene Gatewood, a 27-year-old black man, was shot and killed Saturday Aug. 23 in the 5400 block of South Central Avenue in Central-Alameda, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
About 6:30 p.m., a gunman opened fire on Gatewood and another man who were riding motorized bicycles, said Los Angeles Police Lt. E. Imaizumi.
Gatewood was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:05 p.m., according to coroner's records. The other man, who was shot in the leg as he held up his hands, is expected to survive.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Lee County School Board starts to decide what's next today. Members are holding a special meeting this afternoon to discuss the resignation of Superintendent Dr. James Browder.
Dr. Browder announced this week he was leaving the school district to take a job as Vice President of Operations at Edison State College. His contract pays him $342,000 in severance.
The golden parachute is stirring up controversy now that it's deployed and it's one issue the board could discuss today. Another topic could be appointing an interim Superintendent during the search for a full time replacement.
The board at sometime also has to determine how they will search for a new Superintendent and whether the current members will be involved or the process will wait until three new members are sworn in November 16th.
Today's special meeting starts at 3:30 at the school board headquarters on Colonial Blvd.

Investigation into whether a recent death of a Plattsmouth woman is linked to crash she was involved in a few days previous to when she died.
A woman was found dead in her home south of Plattsmouth Friday morning. An autopsy was ordered. Authorities can then determine if injuries from a traffic accident were the cause of death or not.
The Cassgram reports Murray Rescue and Plattsmouth EMS were responding to the report of an unresponsive party not breathing on Friday. LifeNet helicopter was alerted. Dispatch reports said CPR instructions were being given to the reporting party. A sheriff's deputy then arrived on scene and informed rescue the woman was deceased and the urgent response was not needed.
Cass County Sheriff Wm C. Brueggemann said Terry L. Beins, 54, was found on the floor next to her bed. The investigation indicated that she had prior health issues including a surgery in April. She was also involved in an injury collision at Highway 75 and Bay Road on Wednesday, August 6, less than 48 hours before her death. In the accident in the northbound detour lane in the construction zone, Beins' 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was struck on the driver's door by a Chevy Spark hatchback.
County Attorney Nathan Cox ordered the autopsy.
Brueggemann said the investigation is ongoing.
The rush of highway traffic with speeds of 50 mph through the detour along Highway 75 at Bay Road is how the Nebraska Department of Roads designed the flow of traffic around construction. The highway is one of the major roads out of but also into Plattsmouth.
"Because it's unnatural, I mean we are used to being able to just keep on cruising through that area and now there is a four way intersection that we are not familiar with," Angie Yost said.
It's in downtown Plattsmouth we find Yost, putting the finishing touches on her brand new corner store, Lipstick Stain Boutique, it's set to open Monday. As a commuter however facing this intersection daily, the concern is that drives just aren't aware.
"That's a thirty minute commute until you get to Omaha for a lot of people and I'm sure there is a fair amount of spacing off, that your normal routine would be starting thinking about your day, what I have going on and when all of the sudden you've got this new intersection," Yost said.
The detour is causing some problems. Plattsmouth City Councilman Patrick Dugan explained within the last month, basically when the road was detoured from under to over Bay Road, accidents have piled up, even turning tragic. The crash on Wednesday happened because according to investigators, an eastbound Chevy collided with a northbound Jeep driven by Terry Beins. She passed away Friday according Dugan; from complications possibly due to the accident.
"I'm sorry that it had to happen because it didn't have to happen my heart goes out to them, my prayers are with them, I know the family, it is just heart breaking it was something that didn't need to happen," Dugan said.
Now, Dugan is calling for action, to be heard by the NDOR and to get the mayor involved to fix the problem. "That's what I hear all day long, they hate to come through this intersection because it is dangerous," Dugan said.
Dugan said based on preliminary reports from the NDOR, the detour across the on and off ramps should last another 6 to 7 months.

The court, by a 5-4 vote, struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1964 as unconstitutional. The Constitution gives some authority over voting laws to both the states and the federal government. Section 4 takes all authority for the federal government, stripping several states of their constitutional right to set voting procedures.

On good days the Muse brings me "presents" for my writer's mind to play with. But those days are rare.
Okay, like I wrote in an earlier post, I tried giving up coffee. I mean, what is it exactly about the stuff that makes reading books and writing fiction so much more, well, interesting? Everyone in the laundromat today was reading a book…not newspapers or magazines, BOOKS. Everyone in this city is serious on a rain-swept day. This Portland is seriously into reading BOOKS–in their houses, on the buses and in cafes. This is a readers' town–and a writers' town. You betcha.
Anyway, I gradually downsized the amount of coffee grounds in the French press until I could sail through my day without a headache or in total bitch mode. But as time went on I got this hollowness inside. Like something was missing in my life. So as I wrote earlier, I started drinking this yerba mate blend called Brazilian Breakfast I ripped from Celestial Seasonings, which used to make something similar. But I can't drink tea without honey and milk (soy), so I was also piling on the calories. And the thing about the molecular caffeine in tea, for me at least, is that it makes me hungry, hungry, hungry all day long. I could eat the door right off the fridge. I mean, tea is nice once in awhile, but not by the pot, and not every day. It doesn't have the same buzz as coffee for me.
But I was determined to stick to my guns and stay off coffee. I really was. Really I was. So I bought a can of decaf (organic, fair trade) at Trader Joe's. I got about halfway through the can (I grind the beans as I need them in an electric grinder I found at Village Merchants for $6, but ideally I'd like to find one of those wooden boxes with a crank and grinder mechanism on top and a drawer below) I nearly gagged from the deceit. Drinking decaf is like kissing your sister (or brother). There's no kick, so what's the point?
This addiction goes back a ways. When I was old enough to hold a mug, maybe around two, my beloved grandfather (Baba) used to make coffee for himself and my grandmother every morning. When I stayed with them he'd pour a mug of milk for me and add a little coffee. That's how I developed a taste for the stuff, which back then was probably Folger's or Maxwell House. As I got older the milk decreased and the coffee increased in my mug. I drank it at my grandparents' house; I drank it at my parents' house. I drank in in restaurants and anywhere I pleased. My parents never disapproved. They also kept the liquor cabinet open to me at all times. I tried the stuff but never developed a taste. Maybe if Baba had offered it I'd be a drunk today.
So I've tried every kind of coffee that's in front of me. It was all pretty much the same (except I hate instant coffee) and I boycott places that treat their employees like crap, like Starbucks. After I got to Portland I kept seeing "Stumptown Coffee" signs everywhere. I finally tried a cup and thought it was too strong (!). Then I tried another cup on another day and that was it. See, Stumptown Coffee is like crack. Once you get it in you, everything else tastes like crap. So, hell yeah, I'm back on coffee. I had my first cuppa Hair Bender Stumptown for the first time in two months t'day. Holy crap it tasted good. You know that scene in Trainspotting where Ewen McGregor shoots up and falls straight back on the carpet of the junk house? I'm just saying.
I don't know what I (or millions of other people) will do if world coffee supply ever dries up. That's like the poppy fields blowing away. Does anyone ever realize how important coffee is to the success of capitalism?

Quinno _ left this review about The Plough Inn
Odd place. A two-bar roadside pub which is a bit down-at-heel and clearly needs some remedial works (the toilets were terrible). Stocks three ales, two from West Berks and GK Abbot. My WB was in good nick, no complaints. Sells Thai food that sounded and smelt pretty good. Proper fire which was lit. Poor old barman had the shakes, still he kept my beer in the glass. With a bit of investment, this could do quite well as they seem to be getting some of the other factors right. But it doesn't merit an immediate revisit from me.

John Samuel Raja D & M Rajshekhar , ET Bureau
If appearances say something, India's largest microfinance company has this to say about its founder: nothing. On the website of SKS Microfinance, there is no mention of Vikram Akula, who birthed it in 1998 and nurtured it for many of its 16 years. Not as an expression of creation or as an acknowledgement of having passed through. Its 'history and milestones' page throws an error.

Any reviews for Stillwater in Downers Grove?
Haven't been to Stillwater in DG yet, but the initial things I'm reading are middling. Any opinions?
We had a terrible dining experience...just awful....went in on a week nite....were told to wait in the bar area....they gave us wine menus, but never took our orders...30 minutes later we were shown our tables....30 minutes later we finally got our wine....an hour later they finally served us our meal, which was cold and just plain mediocre....the six of us agreed that we'd never go back....The owner is in way over his head.
re: hooboy4
We live in Downers Grove and try to eat at our local places. We go to Stillwater about once every week or two. Sometimes we eat in the bar and sometimes in the restaurant area. The service is inconsistent as is the food, but Mark the owner seems to be trying. After all these visits, the owner finally came over to talk to us. Any good local restaurantur should start to recognize the locals who frequent their establishment. He didn't seem to know how often we dine there. I had even booked an office lunch there in January. Now that we have chatted it will be interesting to see if he remembers us. The food is up and down and some items seem pricey. Great burgers though. They have a very stylish slanted bowl that they serve alot of dishes in, but some should NOT be served in a bowl with a low slanted side. I've eaten some very messy meals there thanks to this oddly shaped bowl! He is adding some new appetizers and we tried the calamari which is not yet on the menu. It was ok. We also tried the cheese and mest board but is was over prices for the slivers of cheese and the couple of boxed club crackers that were included. The board at the DOC Wine Bar is MUCH better and included more interesting items. Because we are locals, we will be back but there are three new palces in the works and Stillwater's competition is about to get stiff.
re: Bookchic
What and where are the 3 new places in the works? I visit my family in DG a few times a year but am 1800 miles away in SoCal!
re: RSMBob
There is a new Mexican place across from the train stations- more upper scale Mexican, not impressed yet but it is an option.
The old Herberts Menswear is being re-built into a family Italian restaurant and there is a third Italian bistro going in at the corner of Main on the south side of the train tracks.
re: hooboy4
Don't forget, there was a pomegranate sticker floating in Kristin's martini. No joke!!! The only good meal at the table was the country penne. Tasty, but not tasty enough to make up for the poor service, my bland chicken satay, and the hour long wait to receive our food. By the way, we got free cake to make up for the problems we encountered. The whole restaurent probably walked out with free cake that night! The cake was actually good, but not worth a return trip. I honestly couldn't recommend this place to anybody.
IMHO Stillwater is "Stillstruggling". The owners have a great concept going, but the fresh food ideas coming from owner-chef Mark cannot overcome the lack of attention on the service front. If you want a real treat, you've got to get out there on a Saturday night when the local jazz combo is playing...these guys are HOT! They are not there every Sat, I think the first weekend of the month. Feel free to read on, but in summary, the service, selection and portions are hurting the Wine Bar concept big time. The restaurant is mediocre for the price paid. The ambiance is not bad.
I found the restaurant staff to be far better than the Wine Bar/lounge staff who really are louzy. You can wait forever to be served a glass of wine, and, "oh did you want to our food menu for the bar area? Please wait forever again." In all honesty, not all nights are bad, but I've been out on several Saturday nights and I would have fired every server in the Wine Bar. I think the problem is they need a great floor manager to kick some butt so Mark can focus on what he does best in the kitchen.
Now let's talk a bit of the wine bar. Pretty small selection of wines for a "Wine Bar" and what's with those nice big glasses that come with such little content. Either fill 'em up or get smaller glasses. I felt ripped off compared to other comparable restaurant wine service portions.
Finally, the menu in the Wine Bar could use some good old fashioned "munchies". Don't get me wrong, the food served in this area is tasty, but sometimes it would be nice to have a plate of cheese/crackers, chips/salsa, pretzels, etc. rather than some pricey exotic dish.
re: swsidejim
We were @ Stillwater's about a month ago... really wanted to like but was terribly unimpressed. Went to Joyful's Cafe last weekend & although the food was ok, it was lacking the 'umph' it used to have. Also, they need to change the greeting on their voicemail.... it says they're open until 8:30 on Saturday's; we arrived about 6:00 PM and they were obviously closed. They need to update the message. Joyful's is not so anymore!
Is it true that Stillwater is under new ownership? Recent reports (June 2009) indicate that service is still terrible, host/ess staff still can't control the service of the room and food is lackluster. Any reason to hold high hopes for this restaurant?
(see also message board posts http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/474794)
I had the rare "honor" of eating at Stillwater's on their very first night open. I was walking by, and I had an hour to kill in downtown Downers Grove, so I figured I would try it. Now, I am forgiving to restaurants that are "working the kinks out," but to be honest, this place had no business being open. Here's what I experienced:
- The waitress didn't know what beers they had available
- She also didn't know what salad dressings they had available, and disappeared for ten full minutes to find out
- I ordered a filet with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Inexplicably, the kitchen sends out my mashed potatoes with my salad. So the waitress brings me a salad...and a bowl of mashed potatoes, which I don't eat
- When the steak and vegetables come, the waitress realizes the mistake, and has the kitchen make me another order of potatoes
- The steak is rare (I ordered it medium) and the vegetables are overseasoned to the point where I cannot eat them
- The chef comes out and greets every diner in the bar area -- except me
Save your money and go somewhere else...
Stillwater is "underwater". Closed this fall. Amazing, lasted less than 2 years!

main index
Constructed as a series of chapters that take place at a turning point in each character's life, the story moves from seven years in the past to three years to two and finally arrives in the present day. Emily Friehl and Oliver Martin's first encounter is on a flight from Los Angeles to New York City, during which they join the mile high club. He has hopes of becoming an Internet entrepreneur and, certain of his future success, gives her his phone number and suggests she call him in six years to see if his prediction came true.Three years later, facing the prospect of spending New Year's Eve alone, Emily finds Oliver's number and calls him, and the two meet for dinner. Thus starts a series of reunions with the passing of time, as each drifts in and out of relationships with others, Oliver and his business partner Jeeter start an on-line diaper service, and Emily becomes a successful photographer. Each time they meet, one appears to be settled and content while the other is struggling to make headway in both life and career. Eventually they come to the realization that each is exactly the person the other one needs for fulfillment.Starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet, the film was so unmemorable that whoever made this article literally copied-pasted the above two paragraphs from The Other Wiki. Just about its only reputation today is being included on the Roger Ebert Most Hated Film List.
