Janis proposes stiffer penalties for child endangerment
A Louisa County child abuse case sparked legislation proposed by Del. William R. Janis, R-Glen Allen, to increase penalties for anyone convicted of endangering a child.
The case involved Louisa residents Laura and Ronald Jewell, who were accused of torturing their 8-year-old granddaughter.
The prosecutor, Louisa Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Garrett Jr., said the girl sneaked out of her house on July 8, 2010 and ran to neighbor's home for help. The neighbors, upon hearing a noise around 3 a.m., opened their door and found the girl, who was covered in bruises. She told the neighbors that she had been beaten and asked for help. The neighbors then proceeded to call 911.
The little girl was missing significant chunks of hair, Garrett said. She had open sores behind her ears and a small portion of one of her ears was missing. One of her ankles was broken and she had what looked like cigarette burns all over her body, he said.
The Jewell grandparents, with whom the girl was living, had made a "home-security system" to keep her in her room, Garrett said. They did so by tying a pan to her doorknob, which would make lots of noise when she would try and open the door.
Laura Jewell was convicted of malicious wounding and felony child abuse and neglect, and faces up to 30 years in prison when she is sentenced next month. Ronald Jewell pleaded guilty to felony child neglect and also faces substantial prison time.
The issue at hand, Garrett said, is that child torture statues are located in the child labor section of Virginia legislation. The judge presiding over the Jewell case stated that since the grandmother wasn't the child's employer, she couldn't enact the penalties that come along with a child labor law infraction.
Janis said the problem is that the statutes pertained more to child labor laws as opposed to child abuse under criminal code. The acts that came out of those discussions were labor-related and not catered to children who were physically harmed by a parent, he said.
"We want to have as many teeth for physical abuse as we do for sexual abuse," Garrett said.
Legislative changes would give prosecutors more ways to help victims and convict abusers. The bill Janis proposes, HB 1996, would make it a Class 3 felony with additional penalties for cases similar to the Jewell convictions. A related measure he submitted, HB 1995, would allow victims of child pornography to collect civil damages from offenders.
"There are three things we're trying to do within these codes. Firstly, we want to move child torture and abuse from the child labor codes to the criminal code. Secondly, we want increased restitution for the victims of said abuse. And thirdly, we want more distinctions within the code regarding levels of offenses," Garrett said. There is currently nothing within the code that addresses the varying atrocities of child abuse, torture and neglect, he said.
Garrett said he spoke with Janis early on in the Jewell case about the various issues within the code. Janis was eager to try to make improvements, he said.
With regard to this year's legislative session, "I'm afraid because budget times are so tight," Garrett said. More people in prison means more money spent.
This isn't something a lot of lawmakers are going to want to hear, he said, "but if you're breaking kids' ankles, in my opinion, you deserve to be in jail."

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

The New Fountain of Youth
Wrinkles are so 2012. The worldwide antiaging market is now focusing on brighter, more even-toned skin as the fountain of youth.
By Marisa Fox
Skin "whitening" products, as brightening products are often called in Asia, are extremely popular in skincare-technology-savvy Japan. Shiseidos new White Lucent mask utilizes positively and negatively charged ions to drive an ingredient called 4MSK deep into the skin in order to remove melanin the way bleach lifts a stain. The mask also contains lightening kojic acid and vitamin C to help quash free radicals before they cause damage. Subjects in Shiseido's clinical trials noticed an immediate glow after just one application.
Researchers at Japanese skincare company SK-II also discovered compelling results from tests of its new serum Cellumination Essence Ex, which has been in development for the past five years. Like all SK-II products, it contains Pitera, a yeast-derived, nutrient-rich liquid with vitamins and amino acids that seems to render skin as smooth as Cate Blanchett's, a company spokesperson. It also incorporates the so-called cure-all herb Centella asiatica and vitamin B3 to impede the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface.

FLOTUS says she wishes she could be a great singer.
Even the First Lady wishes she could be somebody else sometimes!
Michelle Obama reveals to People magazine that, despite her charmed life and role model status, there's one celebrity she wouldn't mind doing a Freaky Friday-style body swap with.
"Gosh. If I had some gift, I'd be Beyoncé," the political icon says.
"I'd be some great singer," she adds. "The power of music, being able to play an instrument ... It looks like musicians just have the most fun."
But Mrs. O isn't the only one in her family who can carry a tune. She reveals her husband, President Barack Obama, sings "all the time. Sometimes I can't get him to stop," she says.
"He loves it in the shower in the morning, sings to the kids. But it's not a song. He'll sing one line of something romantic or cute," she adds.
We can just picture it: a duet of "Crazy in Love" by the most powerful couple in the world with Sasha, Malia and Bo singing backup. Who wouldn't vote for that?

Butterfly Valley (Kelebekler Vadisi)
From the secluded beach at the entrance to the verdant gorge that leads to a 60-foot waterfall at the back, the setting is simply delightful. Although there is a well-trodden path to the waterfall it's a good idea to bring waterproof shoes, as some wading through the streambed is necessary.
Butterfly Valley makes an easy day trip by boat from Ölüdeniz, but in order to fully soak up the atmosphere you might want to stay a few days. Accommodations are decidedly rustic – bungalows and camping tents can be rented – and a mellow, hippie-like atmosphere pervades. For getting off the grid, this place can't be beat.
Practical Info
Admission is 5 TL for non-guests.

call center
A call center is a centralized office -- or facility -- that is equipped to handle large amounts of customer telephone requests for an organization. A call center handles all telephone communications with new and existing customers. A call center facility provides ample workspace for a large number of employees, typically referred to as "call agents," to administer telephone-based communications with customers.
Call centers may also use a call center suite which includes tools for telephone switch functionality, intelligent routing, automatic call distribution, interactive voice response (IVR), outbound dialing, voice mail and other components.
Large organizations may choose to outsource its call center services, as a call center will be able to provide the systems and trained workforce to provide quality service to customers.
Types of customer call centers include:
- inbound call center
- outbound call center
- customer service center (also called a contact center)

Posted Tuesday, April 24, 2012 --- 1:30 p.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Children's Hospital of Wisconsin says a 15-year-old Chicago boy who underwent the state's first pediatric heart-and-liver transplant was released Tuesday.
Doctors say Thomas Castillo was born with congenital heart disease and, as a result, suffered liver failure.
After suffering a stroke in February, Thomas' grandparents, Santos Morin and Linda Rebeles, say they started to lose hope about their grandson's condition. The teen has been receiving care at Children's Hospital since 2009.
Then, on Feb. 29 a team of physicians at Children's performed the rare heart-liver transplant. And, less than two months later, Thomas was ready to go home. WTMJ says one of the surgeons joked with Thomas as he was discharged, telling him to keep wearing the same shirt he had on -- a Green Bay Packers shirt.

- Amazing!!!CeceVIPDined on 11/10/2014Amazing food, amazing wine list, very nice servers. A bit slow in bringing out our menus, which was probably due to us being indesicive about which champagne to get to celebrate my birthday but other than that it was a great experience. Must try's are the calamari, jumbo crab cake, herb roasted lamb and the mini donuts. Definitely coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Service EVER & Quality Food!!!STR8TROOTHDined on 11/8/2014My wife & I were blown away at this restaurant experience. I, personally, have travelled the world during my military term, but I honestly had given up on what I see on TV that restaurants should be like. Upon pulling up Masraff's, we were greeted by complimentary valet parking & escorted through the door to the front desk where we were then seated immediately. I had no problems w/my reservation. I was absolutely blown away w/the waiter that was extremely knowledgeable of the menu & wordage. He explained everything for my wife, who was not accustomed to this type of dining experience. We were given complimentary tastings of the scratch-made cream of mushroom soup...OUTSTANDING! The food was filling & a reason to return. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!Special Features:

- very goodPickydinerDined on 11/7/2014Our waiter was condescending in describing some of the items. He assumed we did not know the proper doneness for duck breast or tuna (it was the way he said it not that it isn't worth warning people of the doneness). My duck leg was a bit tough and I did not like the taste of the peas in the dish (trio of foie gras, duck breast, and duck leg) and the dish lacked a little salt. My husband's scallops looked beautiful and the tuna as well. Our appetizers were nice: ravioli and spinach salad (but the salad was very small).Special Features:
- Outstanding mealMarlVIPDined on 11/7/2014Food and service was outstanding as usual. Gumbo was excellent. Brought friends who had never eaten here before and they loved it. All of us had different entrees - all were well prepared and presented.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We love this restaurantShirleyDined on 11/3/2014Dining at this restaurant means great food and great service. There are very few restaurants in Houston where one can dine and not have to shout to hear other table guests. While this restaurant was not totally filled to capacity on the week night we were there, it was definitely busy. Even so, our guests and we could carry on a meaningful conversation without feeling like we were at a too-fussy senior crowd place. It is elegant and the food is excellent. We also loved the former location and this one is definitely steps above that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always great!GallopingGourmandVIPDined on 11/1/2014We've dined at Masraff's since the old days on Post Oak Lane, and the food and service have always been outstanding. We recently enjoyed apps of the garlic-seared calamari and the wild mushroom ravioli, both of which are simply incredible. Our mains were the lamb chops and the halibut. (Not being a fan of Brussels sprouts, I asked for a substitution of the John Dory sides, done with no problem, and absolutely delicious.) The fried banana split was also very good. There were a couple of outstanding wines by the glass available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExpensivecassidyDined on 10/31/2014Restaurant locale is good. Service is a little too intrusive for my taste....I dont want my conversation constantly interrupted to speak to a waiter. Waiter unfortunately got the dessert order wrong, staff suitably apologetic, but it wasnt an insignificant issue and could not be rectified. Recommended lamb dish was not particularly good....dont think rare to medium rare is a good choice for lamb. Relatively expensive and in my opinion not worth the extra premium compared to other good restaurants in Houston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Atmosphere, Food Under ParOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014I planned this outing to get a fancy food fix for me and my boyfriend who are both foodies. The boyfriend is not a super fan of seafood, but when it's prepared well, he likes it just as much as his other food. He ordered the seabass and I ordered the duet of tuna and scallops. The scallops weren't seared, they tasted more like boiled which is such a shame to do to scallops. The tuna was rare and delicious. The seabass left much to be desired in terms of flavor. The flavor on the tuna/scallops dish was good but the scallops were the main draw for me and they were underwhelming. For such a special occasion, the food was disappointing. The ambiance and wine were beautiful though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ConsistentEllenrobVIPDined on 10/17/2014Gumbo is only served on Fridays and it is worth the trip!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful refuge from businessdavaldezDined on 10/17/2014My wife and I were attending a medical conference near Galleria. We saw the great reviews and made the short drive to Masraff's. The experience was even better than the reviews. Service was personal and effusive. Food was amazing and well worth the price. Wine list was exceptional. We almost forgot we were in town on business.Special Features:
- Got it all wrongBoreddinerVIPDined on 10/17/2014Whoever designed this restaurant clearly has a penchant for inexpensive business hotel lobby restaurants and Chinese noodle shops from the 90's. The food was very run of the mill and should not be confused with fine dining. The service was lackluster to say the least . We were brought a selection of vegetables that bore no resemblance to those we had been promised. One of the desserts was just simply not what we ordered at all. ( although it tasted good). The staff were friendly but a little "absent". Total miss , not worth expending a hall pass on.
- Tried something newOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/17/2014My wife and I wanted to try someplace new for our anniversary and made a random pick based on reviews and menu items, choosing Masraff's. We were impressed with the atmosphere, service, and food and that the staff actually read the note on the online RSVP and wrote Happy Anniversary in chocolate on the plates or our desserts. Our waiter, David, was very attentive and personable and the meal was unrushed and delicious.Special Features:
- Patio perfectJulesVIPDined on 10/17/2014I dined at Masraff's for birthday lunch on the patio and the service and food was perfect! I was surprised being on Post Oak and yet noise was not a factor and the water wall was nice feature.Special Features:
- Lovely ExperienceHeightsResidentDined on 10/16/2014As always Masraf's does not fail to deliver on a wonderful experience. I look forward to going back again. Service and food are outstanding!Special Features:
- Service mixedk226VIPDined on 10/16/2014The owner came by and thanked us for our patronage in a very genuine way, which I thought was a really nice touch. The waiter though was hot and cold, first wanting to take our orders right after we sat down, then disappearing for a while when we were ready. Then it took a while to find him when we were ready to pay and go, which is not ideal for lunch. The food is very good and creatively prepared. As my guest noted, they did not skimp on the crab meat on the salad. It is perfectly complemented with the mango and white balsamic dressing. His special was an interesting layering of their signature risotto, then a perfectly cooked fish, with frisee on top.Special Features:
- Fantastic as always!gunnar1Dined on 10/14/2014We love coming to this restaurant. Last night we met an out of town friend and were able to dine and visit at our own pace. The food was fantastic, we especially enjoy the way the calamari is prepared. The food and atmosphere entice us to come back again!Special Features:
- Delicious !skanerVIPDined on 10/11/2014Went to the restaurant from a list of recommended ones from our hotel during a recent visit to Houston. The atmosphere was very nice, we actually sat in the lounge area which had a much better view and was surprisingly quieter. The food was exceptional from my lamb chops, my husbands steak with a mushroom reduction and my daughter's chicken dish. All were presented beautifully and tasted better. Will return when in Houston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent mealAspelinDined on 10/11/2014The reviewers are right... the calamari appetizer is a must. Also had the lamb which was perfect. Special was rabbit and it was also very tasty. Service was very personable and attentive without being overdone. Wines are a bit on the expensive side but overall it was a lovely evening.Special Features:
- Excellent Experiencelovegr8foodDined on 10/8/2014Masraff's was recommended. The entire experience was fantastic. The wait staff was efficient and had a great sense of humor. His recommendations were spot on. The owner stopped by our table and thanked us for dining with him- that added a very personal touch that you don't see very much anymore. The food was absolutely amazing and the portions were perfect. 2 of us had the salmon and it was (as the waiter said) one of the best salmon dishes we had ever tasted. Prices were reasonable and added to the overall satisfaction of the experience. Well done Masraff's. We will be back.Special Features:
- Always good...MugsyDined on 10/8/2014Risotto Risotto Risotto... the BEST in Houston! Everything is always fresh and the environment is always vibrant... excellent bar... just a great place to eat...Special Features:
- Great food, way too loudSalesLadyDined on 10/8/2014I took some clients to this restaurant for an important business discussion. Unfortunately we ended up intermittently yelling across the table, while also not trying to speak too loudly for everyone to hear. Everyone's food came out perfect and the staff was on point, but I would not recommend taking someone here that plans on being able to easily understand what other people at the table are saying without raising their voice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well Run RestaurantDealmakerVIPDined on 10/7/2014This was the 1st visit and was impressed with the impeccable service and great food.Special Features:
- Yummy Food, Poor ServiceJennieBDined on 10/6/2014It has been sometime since I have been to Masraff's. I recently met a friend for lunch. We typically have a fun cocktail when we lunch. We arrived before noon and were advised Masraff's didn't have a bartender who could make the drinks on the drink menu. Shortly before noon, we were served the drink we ordered, but it was clear the bartender who made it was not qualified to do so. Even our food service was spotty, not what I expect or have experienced from previous Maraff's visits. Our food was delicious, the chicken lime soup and salads (crab avacado and tempura yellow tomato) we ordered made our visit successful. I will return, but hope for better service, both food and bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent diningsusieQDined on 10/3/2014The service is always great at Masraff's. Of course, the food is excellent. The location is booming with construction and I LOVE the valet parking.Special Features:
- Perfection!KatellaVIPDined on 10/2/2014Tony Masraff's restaurant is by far one of the best in Houston. The space is sophisticated, the waitstaff is totally professional, the food is incredible. There is nothing NOT to like about it. Mr. Masraff is always visable and stops by briefly to say hello and to thank patrons for dining there. If you want a fine dining experience, this is one you don't want to miss.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK but no gem!ComidabuenaDined on 10/1/2014The food was fine, but nothing really special. Good service albeit a little robotic. Did not live up to the rating.
- DedoDined on 9/26/2014Excellent Menu. Food is well prepared and the service is friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A little noisy but once you sat down and got talking it seemed to fade off into the background. Food selections are wide and all of them good. This was my second time and it was a hit with my guest.Special Features:
- Special nightBigdude1Dined on 9/23/2014I had the grouper special and it was fantastic. Masraff has an expansive wine list And the sommelier was happy to help with pairingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When a well-known relationship therapist is murdered, it seems that she was targeted due to the secrets she knew about her powerful and elite clients.
Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
Park (JENNIFER SPENCE), who was blinded while refueling in the blue super giant, has still not regained her sight while Tamara (ALAINA HUFFMAN) struggles with the knowledge, gleaned from the archives on Novus, that she has ALS, an incurable degenerative disease. Rush (ROBERT CARLYLE) and Eli (DAVID BLUE) discover that drones are positioned at every star between Destiny and the edge of the galaxy. They devise a plan that enables them to defeat a Command Ship and secure supplies, but not without a fierce battle that leaves Destiny badly damaged. Eli convinces Young (LOUIS FERREIRA) that Destiny's only option for survival is to head for the next galaxy in one continuous FTL jump that will take three years. This will require all of the ship's remaining energy, so they must act quickly as recharging is no longer an option. Crewmembers return to Earth to say what may be their final farewells, before entering the ship's stasis pods and the long sleep that will take them to the next galaxy. But when it turns out that some of the stasis pods are in need of repairs, a risky stop at a planet for materials may put the entire plan in jeopardy.
Also Available On Xfinity and Amazon Prime
"When Destiny's second attempt to recharge in a star is foiled by attacking drones, the crew realizes the drones must have found a way to track the stars the Destiny plans to draw power from. Eli (DAVID BLUE) suggests that they attempt to recharge in a blue super giant, a star so hot it won't be suspect. But it's a risky option. Rush (ROBERT CARLYLE) and Eli joined by Park (JENNIFER SPENCE) must stay aboard to manually override Destiny's safety protocols and maneuver it through the star. The rest of the crew gates to a nearby planet for safety where they find an abandoned city whose former inhabitants appear to have been decimated by an alien attack. Knowing the use of the gate will draw the drones, they prepare to hold out until the Destiny is finished it's dangerous recharge."
Also Available On Xfinity and Amazon Prime
Destiny arrives at Novus to find the very modern planet abandoned and in the throes of seismic destruction. Realizing the wealth of knowledge and resources they may be able to retrieve, Yazou (AUGUST SCHELLENBERG), one of the settlers, leads Scott (BRIAN J. SMITH), Eli (DAVID BLUE), Wray (MING-NA) and Greer (JAMIL WALKER SMITH) to an underground archive of the civilization. While pouring through the data and transferring what they can back to Destiny, the crew learns of the difficult survival their other selves had to endure.

Now that the crew members of Destiny have encountered aliens on Stargate Universe, their mission is drastically more dangerous.
"These creatures are not that happy that we have invaded their little corner of the universe," says David Blue, who plays computer geek Eli. "Destiny is an incredibly important part of something that we haven't quite picked up on yet. So, I think it's going to piss the aliens off that they have lost control of something important. And these are not the E.T., huggable aliens; these things are pretty fricking terrifying to be around."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- Actor Keith Carradine is being cast as a Chesapeake Bay waterman in a film to be shot next year in Virginia and the bay region.
Called "Chesapeake," the drama centers on a waterman whose life is changed when he saves a boy from drowning. Carradine calls it a "classic story of loss and redemption."
Writer and director Eric Hurt said he was inspired by the bay's watermen culture, which has been threatened for decades by declining catches in blue crabs and oysters.
Andy Edmunds is director of the Virginia Film Office. He says the project is "perfect representation" of what Virginia film is all about.

With over 9 million visitors each year, the Wildwoods are one of the top family vacation destinations in America! Wildwood was ranked the best beach in New Jersey in the 2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest sponsored by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium.
Often voted as among the best in the country, the Wildwood beaches stretch on for five expansive miles — making them the largest and widest at the Jersey shore and on the entire Atlantic Coast. The very best part? With no beach tags required, they're FREE! FREE BEACHES!
Overlooking it all is the world-famous Wildwood Boardwalk. This is 2 miles and 38 blocks packed end to end with stores, shops, water parks, eateries, live entertainment and amusement piers with over 100 rides and attractions. The boardwalk features a trolley called "The Tramcar", which runs from end to end. "Watch the Tramcar Please! Watch the Tramcar Please!" If you have never heard this for yourself in person, you are missing out.
The sights, the sounds and the smells of the Wildwoods Boardwalk are pure sensory overload! There is something for everyone here. The Wildwood Boardwalk features several amusement parks and shops, most notably three piers collectively known as "Morey's Piers". You will find over a hundred rides and three different water parks to choose from.
Due to the very wide beaches, the beach is home to many sporting events, concerts, car shows, and monster truck rallies in view of the boardwalk. A stage is set off to the side of the boardwalk near Mariner's Landing Pier where several performances are held throughout the summer.
Wildwood is home to over 200 motels, built during the Doo-Wop era of the 1950s and 1960s, in an area recognized by the state of New Jersey, known as the Wildwoods Shore Resort Historic District. The term 'doo-wop' is used to describe this unique, space-age architectural style. The motels here are unique in appearance, with Vegas-like neon signs. A 1950s Doo Wop museum includes property from demolished motels such as neon signs and furniture. There are many "Neo-Doo Wop" buildings in the area as well, such as a neon lit Wawa and a 1950s styled Acme Supermarket, and even a Doo-Wop TD Bank!
Here are some other activities and attractions that the Wildwoods are famous for:
amusement parks, water parks, basketball, biking, skateboard park, boating, Fox Park, outdoor concerts, casinos, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, golf, jet skiing, parasailing, miniature golf, arcades, night life, outlet malls, sailing, boardwalk shopping, sunset cruises, surfing, swimming, tennis, water skiing, whale and dolphin watching, wind surfing, zoos and aquariums, etc., etc.

November 26, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Republicans are heading into the legislative campaign season with plenty of momentum.
The GOP currently controls the Assembly 60-39 and the Senate 18-15. Political observers say Republicans almost certainly will retain control of the Assembly when the dust settles in November. Democrats may have a better chance in the Senate after three Republicans announced they won't seek re-election. The head of the Democrats' Senate campaign committee has promised an all-out offensive to seize those seats.
But University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee political scientist Mordecai Lee, a former Democratic state representative, says Republicans did such a good job in redrawing legislative district lines to consolidate GOP support three years that Democrats face an uphill battle.
The primary is set for August 12. The general election is Nov. 4.

Christopher's Seafood & Prime Steak House uses only optimum 21-day-aged USDA prime handcut beef, seafood that's flown in daily from around the world, and locally sourced produce to engineer upscale and elegant eats. The dinner menu bursts at the seams with hearty hand-cuts of meat, such as the 16-ounce New York strip ($43) or the "kings crown," boasting an 8-ounce filet mignon topped with a quarter-pound of king crab ($43). Seafood seekers can drop culinary cargo nets into stomach shipholds with oceanic options including spicy plum-glazed sockeye salmon ($25) and fresh ahi tuna ($28). Other Neptunian nourishment includes the "by sea" tasting plate, a Davy Jones' high-school locker-full of calamari, coconut shrimp, crab-stuffed mushrooms, and lobster corn-dogs ($16). Midday meal-seekers can peruse Christopher's lunchtime menu, featuring creamy New England clam chowder ($5–$8) and a spicy blue cheese burger ($9).
At Dry Creek Steakhouse, beef is king, and that king's name is Angus. Working with certified Angus steaks, chefs introduce filet mignon, new york strip, and choice sirloin to the waiting flames of their grill. These cooked-to-order cuts form the backbone of the menu, but they're not the only delicious preparations that await diners. Rich pastas, inventive chicken dishes, and seafood including Atlantic salmon and Maine lobster occupy their own indulgent corners of the expansive menu.
Carvers Steaks and Seafood flavors its eponymous catches and chops with sauces spiced with whiskey and peppercorn, or butters churned with garlic, Pernod, or Cajun spices. These and other seasonings top generously portioned Carvers Cuts of filet mignon, prime rib, and other meats, as well as halibut fillets and lobster tails caught off the coast of Maine. The dinner menu also includes vegetarian dishes, such as a pear and feta garden salad, as well as raspberry-vanilla bread pudding for dessert.
Jars of Korean kimchi and delicate spheres of salmon roe dot Dahn Sushi's kitchen, adding artful flourishes to a menu of classic Japanese cuisine. Sushi, the restaurant's specialty, ranges from dainty duos of eel nigiri to hand rolls packed with tuna, octopus, or red snapper. Diners can belly up to the sushi bar and take notes as they watch the chefs chop, slice, and roll their creations into vibrant spreads, some of which look like friendly caterpillars. In addition to serving small groups within the scarlet dining room, Dahn's staff delivers giant platters of sushi to parties, meetings, and mermaids' swim meets.
Pad Thai Siam takes its name from a dish that symbolizes the balance of sweet, tart, and savory flavors that characterizes Thai cuisine. The mélange of noodles comes stir-fried in tangy tamarind juice, spicy peppers, savory peanuts, and zesty lime, and the rest of the menu lives up to this tradition of blending flavors and spices. Rich, piquant coconut milk curries pop with sweet basil and beds of steamed vegetables sport crowns of garlic-seasoned pork. Like a pair of tin cans connected by a long rice noodle, the restaurant unites faraway places through food, with Japanese udon soups, teriyaki steaks, and crisp shrimp tempura sharing table space with southeast Asian treats.
Using wrung-from-the-wild seafood, Skippers serves up made-to-order dishes to fill grumbling stomachs and silence attention-seeking appetites. Start with the creamy clam chowder nestled in a sourdough-bread bowl ($5.99), or opt for the three-piece signature fish and chips ($6.99), bringing together ocean life and potato in a hunger-satisfying harmony usually reserved for peanut jelly and butter. The three-piece cod ($8.25) is hand dipped in tempura for optimum crunching, while the fresh grilled halibut ($13.50) encourages tongue purring. Skippers also features salads, sandwiches, and a menu for kiddies, as well as sides such as hush puppies and shrimp. Enjoy nautical nourishment without having to buy your family's ancient deep-sea diving helmet back from the iron grasp of the Internet with a meal at Skippers.

A giant among giants in the dance scene -- literally and figuratively -- Carl Cox might just be the most renowned techno DJ in the world. Currently ranked number six on TheDJList.com (putting him in company with names like Oakenfold and Sasha), Cox has snagged DJ of the Year kudos from the International Dance Awards and has been a perennial cover boy for prominent rags like Mixmag and Muzik. With a smile as massive as his discography, the 43-year-old Brit has been dropping tracks with a host of labels -- including Oakenfold's Perfecto and Moonshine -- throughout his 20-year career. Though he's known for banging sets fueled by acid and hard-house, Cox has taken occasional detours into breakbeat and tribal (on the F.A.C.Tmix trilogy) as well as downtempo (on his Back to Mine set). Regardless of the direction he takes in Miami, the "DJ Diplomat" is sure to be beaming while the crowd is shaking and the music's streaming.
Carl Cox plays with Mark Lewis at 10 p.m. Saturday, October 28, at Crobar, 1445 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Tickets cost $30 at crobar.com, or call 305-672-8084.

Sisters of Hope survival guide
Cancer strikes family multiple times
She wondered if I would remember her.
Of course, I did.
How could I forget Krystal Simpson and the story I'd written more than a decade ago about the Sisters of Hope, as I like to call them?
Obviously, she hadn't forgotten me, either.
"I just recently heard you were battling colon cancer," Krystal wrote in an email sent in mid-January, "and I wanted to first tell you our thoughts and prayers are with you."
She also wanted to tell me something else. She wanted to share what had happened in the 11 years since I had first written about Krystal, Tara and Nicole Stratton, as they were all known before being married.
In 2002, the column, and the cautionary tale that went with it, made front page news. It told of how the youngest sister, Nicole, had seen four physicians over two years, all of whom assured her the ever-growing lump on her breast was "nothing." Ultimately, Nicole would be diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer, and tell other women who find lumps on their breasts to never take "nothing" for a doctor's answer.
Nicole was only 29 back then.
What made it all the more heart-wrenching was the emotional whiplash of Nicole's biopsy results arriving on the same day in May that her daughter, Kate, was born. That and the sisters' story of being orphaned as youung adults after their mother, Audrey, died of colon cancer in 1987 and their doctor dad, the highly respected dermatologist Tim Stratton, had a fatal heart attack in 1994.
Nicole was only 13 when her mom died and it would be largely left to Tara and Krystal to act as the mother they all still needed, but no longer had.
Which brings us to the rest of the story, the update Krystal shared in her email.
As it turned out, a year after Nicole was diagnosed, Tara was also diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and underwent the same six gruelling rounds of chemotherapy, plus 30 radiation treatments.
"The cancer treatments left them weak, vulnerable and scared," Krystal recalled, "and I watched in awe as they fought their way back to life and helped them celebrate each year that passed cancer-free."
Then it happened again.
Just days before her 37th birthday, Krystal received the same diagnosis.
Three sisters, three Stage 3 breast cancer diagnoses, three identical regimes of treatment.
And through it all, the sisters were there to support each other, just as they had been when they lost their parents.
As it turned out, that experience of being there for her two sisters was especially important for the middle sister, the last to be diagnosed.
Krystal said there were times, during the fifth round of chemo, when her self-confidence began to disappear like her hair, she wondered if dying would be easier than what she was going through. But her calm and reassuring sisters gave her the strength she didn't think she had.
"Just knowing they got through it helped me," Krystal said last weekend, when we all gathered at Nicole's North Kildonan home.
The sisters are all in their early- to mid-40s now. Nicole has been cancer-free for almost 11 years, Tara nearly 10 and Krystal just passed the six-year mark.
"The fact that we're all still here," Krystal said, "fills us with gratitude every day."
"You cling on to the hope," Tara said, "and that's what carries you through."
And women in general have reason to be hopeful when it comes to surviving breast cancer, because while the number of cases has increased since the 1980s, the death rate has declined. The five-year survival rate was 88 per cent between 2004 and 2006, according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
For Tara, Krystal and Nicole, that kind of hope extends to more than themselves, of course.
Tara doesn't have children, but Nicole has Kate, the baby born when Nicole was diagnosed, and Krystal has two more daughters and is pregnant with a third, which she considers a miracle, given the chemo treatments she endured.
I asked Krystal if they had selected a name for her, and when she said no, I offered the word that Tara has tattooed on the back of her neck: "Hope."
Krystal smiled.
We all smiled.
Funny how one word tends to do that for cancer survivors, like the Sisters of Hope.
And me.
