- Excellent Service and AtmosphereLynnaVIPDined on 11/17/2014We were there for my husband's birthday, and were immediately made welcome by Lila at the hostess station. Our server, Fallon, was very helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is very "old school," but not at all crusty and dated, just a very warm and charming feel. The fresh bread and Caesar salads were excellent and our entrees were very good, but not outstanding. The seafood was fresh, and well-prepared, but my cioppino was lacking seasoning and my husband's calamari steak was overpowered with garlic (Fallon warned us that it had a lot of garlic, and we should have listened to her). The meal was a good value, and the prix-fixe "classics menu" is a great option before 6:30. We will definitely come back and give it another try, perhaps taking the server's suggestion for our meal, as I'm sure he or she might have a better suggestion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and superb serviceJoyJoy1Dined on 11/14/2014I would be glad to reccommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for outstandin service and great food with a pleasant atmosphereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent MealsabcdefghDined on 11/10/2014Well presented, excellent tastes, good service with care for the diners.Special Features:
- RapscallionGaryDined on 11/8/2014The servicew was very good as well as the food. The only negative was we were in a room with another group of 10 that was quite loud. Made it hard to have a normal tone conversationSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old School ClassicOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/8/2014Really good food in a space with an old school vibe. Great food, service and value. Absolutely no complaints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HandymanDined on 11/7/2014It was my wife's birthday and we chose Rapscallions for their scallops. I ordered the bone-in rib eye steak. TTop Notchhe scallops were great (according to my wife). The rib eye left a lot to be desired. It was no better than a steak from Walmart that I'd cook at home. It definitely wasn't worth the $40 they charged me. The biggest issue we had was a 20 minute wait between the salad and the entre. We were continuously told "it'll be here in just a minute", only to have to ask the waiter where our dinner was. We'll go some where else for the next special occasion dinner.
- Nice surpriseRunningDined on 11/7/2014Rapscallion's was referred to me by a good friend who knows the Reno restaurant scene. I needed a good place to meet for a business lunch that had good food and was quiet. Rapscallion's was the perfect fit - great menu, great food and private booths. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent meal and great ambiance.Special Features:
- Girls Nite OutGirlsniteoutDined on 11/6/2014I made reservations for 6 of us girls (ladies) to have dinner. Some had not been there in years, but knew of the reputation. We all ordered a cocktail which was perfect with the latest trend. Four of us ordered the Seared Ahi and it was delicious, served with pot stickers and cabbage slaw. The pot stickers had a little zing to them, but were good. The Ahi was on the special menu and we got a caesar salad, entree, dessert and a glass of wine for $34.00. One of the ladies ordered the Salmon and it was excellent. Another ordered the Scampi and raved about it.Service was prompt and friendly! Plus the good thing was 20% of the bill went to the SPCA of Northern Nevada. Highly recommend!Special Features:
- They're back!TallGuyDined on 10/31/2014This restaurant had slid over the years, but they are now back on top. I had the crab encrusted halibut and loved it. Two things detected from the evening a little: my wife ordered a lemon drop martini and it was terrible, sheet they had previously been great. Turns out someone made a bad batch of simple syrup. Also, seating is a bit cramped in the booth we were in.Special Features:
- HungryVIPDined on 10/28/2014First time and had great service and the food was excellent!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently goodSteveVIPDined on 10/22/2014Love the "cabins" for business and social. Food and service are consistently good. When everyone in your party has a good meal, and is still talking about it a day later, it's a place to go back to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what it used to be.spinnakerDined on 10/18/2014Service was outstanding, let me say that, but that's not what a restaurant is; food is what defines a restaurant and let me say, the food here has gone downhill. The coconut Cajun prawns were not spicy and tasted like they came out of a frozen bag. The salad was an absolute joke. The main, lamb chops, was superb albeit mildly bland with accompanying sides nothing special. I used to come year often, years ago when the food was worthy of boasting to the general public about. Now, I sway people away when asking for a recommendation. Something happened, and whatever that may be, it certainly wasn't for the better.Special Features:
- One of Reno's best!CgoldbshDined on 10/17/2014So far, Opentable has yet to disappoint. Two different cities, three different restaurants, no problems getting in or the restaurant not having the reservations. I would highly recommend the Rapscallion for seafood dining! Lots of great choices, service was timely but not borish. Prices modest certainly in keeping with other good seafood or steak houses. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a good seafood diner in one of Reno's top spots!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerspiritwolfDined on 10/16/2014It was the first time there. My wife and I. we're very surprised that the overall experience was almost perfect. I loved the ambience with all of the wood. Our waiter Tui, was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. We will most definitely be back. We have to try more of the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Hidden Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/10/2014Sitting at the bottom of Wells, is a sleeper - nothing flash on the outside - almost nothing flash on the inside (except for the "cabins" on the back wall), which again are understated. This is a destination restaurant when I am in Reno! The seafood list is remarkable, the steaks are generous, the appetizers are noteworthy and the service is ever present but unimposing. I have never really had enough room after a meal for their desserts. I always bring a new friend or two to Rapscallions just to surprise them, as well as have a quiet dinner. I made our dinner reservations by e-mail from Chicago, and requested a "cabin" - it was ready and waiting!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HerculesDined on 10/9/2014fine dining..atmosphere is very romantic..dark wood and white cloth..not many places like this remain..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very good seafood placeStratmanDined on 10/9/2014I've been dining there regularly for over 15 years. The seafood is almost always vey good to excellent though the ciopino and crab cakes could be improved. The service is usually very good but depends on your waiter. Desserts are luxurious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem in Renofish42Dined on 10/9/2014In general food and food presentations were excellent. My halibut was somewhat overcooked (at least for me) so be sure to specify instructions (tho that should be a foregone conclusion for fish and a restaurant that specializes in fresh fish!) Would definitely return. Interesting menu. Nice wine specials. Good, quiet, unobtrusive service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy Hour DinnerFoodessVIPDined on 10/9/2014This restaurant offers a very good selection of high quality bar food items, plus decent house wine.. Very good selection of beers, as well Friends and I sampled the Tuna Poke, Beef Sliders,and Chicken Quesadilla . The Ahi Poke was the best, but all were delicious. We usually go here for the indoor fine dining, but the Happy Hour is an inexpensive way to enjoy the delicious items of Rapscallion.!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful, but not for vegetariansrenocyclistDined on 10/7/2014Rapscallion is a beautiful restaurant. The dark wood, the cut leaded glass. It is beautiful. People like the seafood, which I hear is good. But if you're a vegetarian, this is not the place for you.Special Features:
- Best SeafoodseafoodheavenDined on 10/4/2014This restaurant has it all, ambiance, service, great seafood selection, moderate prices, and best of all great taste. Good Job!Special Features:
- Delicious!DeannaDined on 9/26/2014This is one of our stops every time we come to Reno. A must for any seafood lover.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KirstenOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014We have visited many restaurants and " happy hours". Our favorite is surely Rapscallion! We especially enjoy hour, but what makes it really special is Kirsten, the young lady that serves our table each friday night in the bar. She is personable, friendly and warm, attentive with superior customer service skills .We love this delightful young lady!. Thank you for this opportunity to give our most positive feedback to you. Please also know that on the few occasions when Kirsten was not working, our service from the ladies at the bar and at our table were also very good, its just that Kirsten is our very favorite. See you very soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Two for one Tuesday!GeekyGalDined on 9/23/2014We took our relatives from Portland OR for the two for Tuesday. We had a great time visiting. The services was good. Everyone except me loved their food. For the two for Tuesday thee are several choices between chicken, fish and beef. I ordered the chicken parmesan. I forgot it was breaded and fried. I don't like breaded and fried food. My sister-in-law had the same dish and loved it. It was my mistake. One person had the baked salmon and enjoyed it. So, I can recommend this place, but think before you order. LOLSpecial Features:
- sksRenoDined on 9/22/2014We had friends come in from out of town and wanted to treat them to one of Reno's special places. The Rapscallion did not disappoint! The food was fabulous (as always) and the service impeccable. This is truly a Reno gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantMarleneDined on 9/18/2014As always, Rapscallion produced - great quality in every aspect. That's why we keep coming back. Keep up the good work.Special Features:
- Great help for our special needsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014We needed a table for a guest that had recent hip surgery and one that was hard of hearing. Both were well taking care of with the perfect table!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific pre-show dinnerrickbDined on 9/16/2014Arrived early to enjoy the great happy hour specials in the bar. Long-time bartender is very pleasant and welcoming/bar area is a popular after work spot! Sole almandine and sirloin fillet were both excellent along with salads and terrific bread pudding for dessert. Appreciated our waiters advice on how to order my steak -- medium was exactly the way I like it -- pink inside and a nice crust outside. Enjoyed sitting in a "dining cabin" for the first time. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:
- Always good...clcADined on 9/13/2014Have been dining at Rapscallions for years now... You can always count on it! Wonderful food and great service! Perfect for a large group or a romantic dinner for two.Special Features:
- Excellent dining experiencesfdhDined on 9/9/2014I took my family of 6 adults here on a Tues eve. as I was in the mood for seafood and it did not disapoint! Everyone seemed very happy the service was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local treasureOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/8/2014Very romantic and quiet. Food presentation was outstanding with flavors to match!Special Features:
- Downtown FavoriteLoraMVIPDined on 9/6/2014Skip the casinos, Rapscallion is the best place downtown for seafood! It's off the main drag (Virginia Street), but definitely worth finding. Best FRESH oysters!! Service is exceptional and the food never disappoints.Special Features:
- Disappointmentluv2eatDined on 9/6/2014Rapscallion's was a great disappointment to me. I hadn't eaten at Rapscallion's for 2 years and was looking forward to a delicious meal with my husband. I ordered the heirloom tomato and field green salad with balsamic vinegar. The salad was literally drenched in balsamic vinegar. All I could taste was the balsamic vinegar. I also ordered the ahi tuna tartare. Ahi has a delicate flavor and I couldn't taste the tuna. I only tasted sesame oil and a slight hint of green onions. The ginger that accompanied this meal was pickled ginger. It should have been fresh ginger. My husband's mixed seafood dinner was dry. Needless to say, when we return to Reno, we will not be eating at Rapscallion's.
- Never disappoints!MarianneDined on 9/6/2014One of Reno's finest restaurants! The Tarragon Diver Scallops were divine, Sole Almondine cooked perfectly, Calamari so tender. Our server, Andee was excellent & very friendly & accommodating. We return here again and again when in Reno for their wonderful food, ambience & service. Prices are very reasonable for the ample servings.Special Features:
- Great Happy Hours!CarynDined on 9/6/2014I love the Happy Hour times!! They have TWO, with the only not happy hour time between 6 & 8! And they have a new "Secret" Happy Hour menu! It's a great place to chill out and enjoy!Special Features:
- My favorite Reno restaurantfoodebrat2VIPDined on 9/2/2014Rapscallions is my favorite restaurant in Reno. The Kuleto interior design is welcoming and warm. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. Our waiter had good answers to our food and wine pairing questions and just all around helpful. The Dayboat Scallop dish was delicious and cooked to perfection. The Ahi Tuna Tartare was awesome. I just love this place!Special Features:
- Lackluster serviceMileKingVIPDined on 8/30/2014Lackluster service, but an otherwise very good meal. Server seemed somewhat lost. She disappeared shortly after bringing our wine and it was 20 minutes before she took our order. The table next to us, who were seated after we were, were enjoying their meal shortly after our order was taken so it didn't seem to be an issue with the kitchen. Given the quality of food and atmosphere, we'd give Rapscallion Seafood House another chance if we were in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Puget Sound (WA) VisitorWorldinerDined on 8/23/2014Our entrees were swordfish, prime rib & seafood fettucini... the prime rib, fettucini and one swordfish entrees were superb. There was a misunderstanding on the crusted tropical swordfish which was corrected with very flavorful results. Even our finicky 4 yr old grandson was pleased with his dish of broccoli. Rapscallion was recommended by a coworker in the late 80s and we've experienced Excellent Food & Service ever since at least once/twice yearly. We've recommended Rapscallion to many others and have received positive comments, especially during the earlier years when Reno was more of a destination for gaming enthusiasts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to lunchPanhardguyDined on 8/21/2014I always enjoy eating at Raps. It's a great place to take friends for an intimate and satisfying time. Love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old World atmostphere & great food!SeafoodloverDined on 8/20/2014This was our first visit to Rapscallions and we'll definitely return! The best seafood selection I've seen this side of Seattle! Everything tasty, well-prepared and presented from the calamari appetizer (plenty for 4 people) to the mud pie dessert (again, more than enough for 4 people)! The ample amount of booth seating makes this a great place to meet friends for an intimate and relaxed evening! The service is wonderful and everything was well-timed and paced! An all-round wonderful experience!Special Features:

Days of Future Past is a 1981 X-Men storyline (published in Uncanny X-Men #141 and #142), written after the successful The Dark Phoenix Saga. This time-travel story was the first main story featuring Kitty Pryde.The story, written in 1980 and first published in early 1981, was set in 2013. The United States is a dystopia, and people are divided into three groups: normal humans, normal humans with the potential to pass on the mutant gene, and mutants. The first ones are free, the second are forbidden to have children, and the third are either killed or held in concentration camps, with collars that turn off their powers. Everything is run by the Sentinels. And Europe has atomic bombs, ready to blast the US as soon as the Sentinels attempt to go outside America.The group held in the concentration camp is composed of aged versions of the X-Men: Katherine Pryde-Rasputin (Sprite, later to be known as Shadowcat), Ororo Monroe (Storm), Peter Rasputin (Colossus), Franklin Richards (the son of the Fantastic Four's Reed and Susan Richards), Rachel (not given a surname here, but later revealed to be the daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey) and Magneto (now in a wheelchair). With the help of Wolverine, still on the loose, they manage to send Katherine Pryde back in time to October 31, 1980, just before a pivotal presidential election, placing her adult mind in the body of her teenaged 1981 version. She tells the others that, on that day, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants would kill the US senator Robert Kelly, along with Charles Xavier and Moira MacTaggert, which will lead to the anti-mutant hysteria.Meanwhile, in the Future, the X-Men escape from the concentration camp, but leave Magneto behind to cover their escape. Franklin dies during the next Sentinel attack. Ororo, Peter, and Logan sneak into the Sentinel headquarters, the Baxter Building (the former base of the FF), realizing too late that the Sentinels allowed them to do so to capture and kill them. Wolverine, Storm and Colossus die, while Rachel remains outside, protecting the unconscious Katherine Pryde.In the present, the Brotherhood breaks into the Congress during a hearing on the "Mutant problem," but the X-Men turn up and fight it out, eventually defeating most of the Brotherhood, while Mystique escapes. Destiny, who left the fight earlier, attempts to kill Kelly, only for Pryde to save him at the last moment. Moments after she saves him, her adult mind returns to the future, restoring her teenaged identity.The seventh X-Men film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, is based on this story; however, it was released in 2014, just missing the anniversary. However, the "Battle Of The Atom" crossover was released in 2013 to coincide with the anniversary, and involves time traveling mutants who seek to stop an apocalyptic future.Marvel has teased that they will revisit the story in 2015 under the title "Years of Future Past".

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

In her session at @ThingsExpo, Esmeralda Swartz, CMO of MetraTech, discussed how for this to be effective you not only need to have infrastructure and operational models capable of utilizing this new phenomenon, but increasingly service providers will need to convince a skeptical public to participate.

One of the biggest challenges when developing connected devices is identifying user value and delivering it through successful user experiences. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kuniavsky, Principal Scientist, Innovation Services at PARC, described an IoT-specific approach to user experience design that combines approaches from interaction design, industrial design and service design to create experiences that go beyond simple connected gadgets to create lasting, multi-device experiences grounded in people's real needs and desires.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Will men sleep with ugly women just to have sex?
There is this guy at work that I helped out. After I helped him he said that he owed me something. He wanted me to come up so he could give me a hug or something in that matters. One day he told me to give him a call when I got off of work. I went ahead and called him. We went out for ice cream and after we ate he was talking about going to a hotel and to finish what he owed me. Well, I did it again. I don't think that I'm ugly or a hot model woman, just normal. But, one day when I was reading something on the net, it said that guys will sleep with anyone just to have his count up or just to get laid. I really need to know this. Thank you, Heather

What Guys Said 8
Many men will sleep with a woman. Any woman just to have sex even if it costs them a lot of buck$! ! Is all you have to do is look at prostitutes. Some are kind of cute and some are ugly and I'm sure all in between. 'With you he basically got it free! If you slept with him this fast, you should be asking yourself the same question. Would a woman sleep with a man just because he says he owes her something. Ugly or not?
Well men can't get sex whenever they want it unlike women,unless of course they are rich or extremely good looking,so men go for sex whenever they can get it,women will sleep with anything also,but only when money is involved,just look at all the ugly famous men to see what I'm on about,I myself am too ugly for sex,but if any women was desperate enough to have sex with me,I'd give her a go.
It's true. I like sex. I'm a guy and have a high libido and rarely will I refuse the chance to sleep with a woman. Any woman except a married woman. I won't go there.You're going to hate me for saying this but I rarely find any woman "ugly" I like people and most all women posses softness and femininity, the most attractive qualities which affect how I will see them physically. To most guys that I know, Intercourse FEELS GREAT! and doesn't have a face.Any woman over 23, any race and size will do. I'm not a selfish bastard. I AM a giving lover. I am totally into giving as much pleasure as the gal wants. I stay, cuddle and WILL CALL BACK and come back. I don't promise any emotional or long term commitment. It's mostly physical but I do enjoy the friendship involved. Do I want a permanent relationship? Yes.Do I want to be celibate until I find that relationship? No.EVERY guy that I know feels the same.
beauty is within the eyes of the bholder. you said so yourself that you wernt ugly. maybe this guy is attracted to you. I myself have no preference. i have low self esteem as well. I will do and have done it with all shapes and sizes of women. color race dont matter either. all that matters is if you and him are comfortable with each other.
What Girls Said 2
Some men will sleep with any woman they can. But most men (grown up men) have morals and standards and will not just do it to be doing it. Just because you are not a 10 does not mean he would not want you. Maybe he's dated 10's and finds them fake and he wants a real woman. Who knows call him again and see where it leads, he'll let you know if he's not interested. And don't do anything you don't want to do.

Paul Craig Roberts
Let Them Eat Cake
Paul Craig Roberts
It is not unusual for members of the diminishing upper middle class to drop $20,000 or $30,000 on a big wedding. But for celebrities this large sum wouldn't cover the wedding dress or the flowers.
When country music star Keith Urban married actress Nicole Kidman in 2006, their wedding cost $250,000. This large sum hardly counts as a celebrity wedding. When mega-millionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump married model Melania Knauss, the wedding bill was $1,000,000.
The marriages of Madonna and film director Guy Ritchie, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones pushed up the cost of celebrity marriages to $1.5 million.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes upped the ante to $2,000,000.
Now comes the politicians's daughter as celebrity. According to news reports, Chelsea Clinton's wedding to investment banker Mark Mezvinsky on July 31 is costing papa Bill $3,000,000. According to the London Daily Mail, the total price tag will be about $5,000,000. The additional $2,000,000 apparently is being laid off on US Taxpayers as Secret Service costs for protecting former president Clinton and foreign heads of state, such as the presidents of France and Italy and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who are among the 500 invited guests along with Barbara Streisand, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner, and Clinton friend and donor Denise Rich, wife of the Clinton-pardoned felon.
Before we attend to the poor political judgment of such an extravagant affair during times of economic distress, let us wonder aloud where a poor boy who became governor of Arkansas and president of the United States got such a fortune that he can blow $3,000,000 on a wedding.
The American people did not take up a collection to reward him for his service to them.
Where did the money come from? Who was he really serving during his eight years in office?
How did Tony Blair and his wife, Cherrie, end up with an annual income of ten million pounds (approximately $15 million dollars) as soon as he left office? Who was Blair really serving?
These are not polite questions, and they are infrequently asked.
While Chelsea's wedding guests eat a $11,000 wedding cake and admire $250,000 floral displays, Lisa Roberts in Ohio is struggling to raise contributions for her food pantry in order to feed 3,000 local people, whose financial independence was destroyed by investment bankers, job offshoring, and unaffordable wars. The Americans dependent on Lisa Roberts' food pantry are living out of vans and cars. Those with a house roof still over their heads are packed in as many as 14 per household according to the Chillicothe Gazette in Ohio.
The Chilicothe Gazette reports that Lisa Roberts' food pantry has "had to cut back to half rations per person in order to have something for everyone who needed it."
Theresa DePugh stepped up to the challenge and had the starving Ohioans write messages on their food pantry paper plates to President Obama, who has just obtained another $33 billion to squander on a pointless war in Afghanistan that serves no purpose whatsoever except the enrichment of the military/security complex and its shareholders.
The Guardian (UK) reports that according to US government reports, one million American children go to bed hungry, while the Obama regime squanders hundreds of billions of dollars killing women and children in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The Guardian's reporting relies on a US government report from the US Department of Agriculture, which concludes that 50 million people in the US–one in six of the population–were unable to afford to buy sufficient food to stay healthy in 2008.
US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that he expected the number of hungry Americans to worsen when the survey for 2010 is released.
Today in the American Superpower, one of every six Americans is living on food stamps.
The Great American Superpower, which is wasting trillions of dollars in pursuit of world hegemony, has 22% of its population unemployed and almost 17% of its population dependent on welfare in order to stay alive.
The world has not witnessed such total failure of government since the final days of the Roman Empire. A handful of American oligarchs are becoming mega-billionaires while the rest of the country goes down the drain.
And the American sheeple remain acquiescent.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

The drunken Scottish street philosopher, Rab C. Nesbitt first appeared on the seminal Scottish comedy show Naked Video. Progressing in 1989 to his own Christmas special Rab C Nesbitt's Seasonal Greet, the popularity of this much-rerun show spawned a further 8 series of alcoholic ranting. The series was broadcast nationally, despite the strong and sometimes impenetrable Glaswegian accents, which was parodied in one episode where Rab goes to London in search of his runaway son, and subtitles are used to translate the dialogue.Rab is a 40-something waster. He's never worked a day in his life, and revels in the intricacies of the Welfare system (or 'the Broo' in common Glasgow parlance) He is married to the matriarchal Mary, who holds together the family of two sons Gash and Burnie in spite of Rab's lifestyle of booze and casual violence.But he's not all bad, he has deep and profound thoughts about life and philosophy, and will expound them to any passer-by with the help of his rolled-up newspaper. He wanders the streets of Govan (a district in Glasgow) in a dirty blue suit and string vest, always with his trademark dirty bandage around his head from some long-forgotten head wound. Together with his eternal scheming friend, Jamesie Cotter (and his long suffering wife Ella) Rab introduces us to a myriad of colourful and downright scary Glasgow characters.Although comedy in intent, the series explored many dark topics, including marital breakup, murder, long term unemployment, infertility, cannibalism and child abuse. Through several flashback sequences, we see the young Rab and his siblings putting up with a violent father who took his life failures out on his family. Rab's own family life is far from idyllic, Mary leaving him to fend for himself on various occasions, and the kids running away to London.The final series was aired in 1998. The entire run of series is currently (2007) being repeated on Paramount Comedy in the UK.In 2008, the character returned for a one-off, 45-minute special at Christmas 2008. As of January 2010, a forthcoming new series has just started airing.Transmission Details:

Written by Chef Alan Zox, Ph.D, email@example.com Friday, 14 February 2014 11:05
Chocolate desserts seem to be the favorite of so many people. I guess I am just not running with the crowd these days because generally speaking, chocolate does not fill the bill for me. Fruit or pie do the job quite fine thank you plus a few special cake recipes such as coconut, lemon and almond desserts knock my socks off. Of course, the candy bars of my youth enhance my memory bank as well such as Pay Day, Butter Finger (yum), Snickers and Mounds.
When I am really indulging as an adult without admitting that I am not a chocolate lover, (a group that is quite frankly discriminated against), I turn to the exceptional, extraordinary, marvelous, and wonderful chocolate lava cake. It only includes four primary ingredients—chocolate; butter; eggs; and sugar. But it's so divine that i will admit it here and now that I am inching toward joining the chocolate lovers of the world. How shall I describe this delight without exaggerating the joy and pleasure it gives me? Moist comes to mind along with warm and satisfying in a way that is special. No bigger than a 3-4 inch ramekin, Lava Cake is the perfect indulgence in that it's not too big, and not too small. Just right comes to mind. It can be described as a warm chocolate pudding surrounded by a luscious chocolate cake. But Ican't tell you whether this morsel of goodness calls for a fork or a spoon. It's one of life's subtle mysteries. May all of our problems be this difficult to manage.
The origin of this chocolate dessert is uncertain. Some give Chef Vongerichten credit. Others claim that mistakes made by long-forgotten bakers created the dessert. By serendipitously baking for too short a time they created a "runny" overly moist center. We can all be thankful for such errors. My version draws from all of these experiences with a few unique flavor enhancements including strong coffee and fresh fruit such as raspberries or mango slices.
In closing, I hope you won't spite me for admitting my lava cake weakness. It's worth it. I assure you. It will satisfy your sweet tooth on Valentine's Day or any day you wish to enjoy the perfect dessert.
Chocolate Lava Cake—
Serves 6
4 oz of unsalted butter
8 oz bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons strong coffee
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar, for dusting
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries or mango slices
Preheat oven to 425F. Generously butter 6 ramekins. Melt the chopped chocolate in a double boiler. Add flour, sugar, coffee, salt, eggs and vanilla to the chocolate and whisk until very smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a pan filled halfway with warm water up the sides of the ramekins. Place in the oven and bake 12 to 14 minutes or until sides are set and centers are still soft. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates. Sprinkle with Confectioner's sugar, a few raspberries and 2 mint leaves. So lovely! Delicious and so wonderful to enjoy with a close friend.

Malaysian at Laut?
- f
- foodwhisperer Feb 10, 2009 01:16 PM
Since Franklin Station closed in Tribeca, i'm at a loss for good Laksa and authentic Malaysian food. Someone recommended Laut on 17th st. ,, I looked at the menu and it says malaysian /thai. I assume they mixed both cuisines as thai will get them more business. However, my question is , is the Malaysian there good and is it authentic? I want to take someone who spends half the year in Malaysia there.
Hey there - I can't speak for Laut (never been there myself) but I was born in Malaysia and haven't stopped eating it since... the best I would say is Nonya in Little Italy. They have great prices, always busy, and I always leave with a full belly.
Hope this helps!
re: GirlFoodieNYC
Maybe I should try Nyonya again. What do you particularly like there? Also, what other Malaysian restaurants have you been to in Manhattan, and what are your comments about them?
re: GirlFoodieNYC
Is Skyway one of the places you've been to? By the way, where were you born and how old were you when you came to the U.S.? I lived in a kampung in Terengganu for most of Standard 5 and 6 and also lived in KL for a month at the beginning of my stay and a few other shorter trips to there and several other places. That was back in the 70s. I finally returned for a 4 1/2 week visit in 2003.
re: GirlFoodieNYC
Wow, Penang and Ipoh. Sedap sangat! :-)
I like Skyway and have repeatedly recommended it. As a matter of fact, I had dinner there today and yesterday. Today was asam laksa, which I enjoyed, but I have to say, their nasi lemak yesterday had very dry, overcooked chicken, so that's an inconsistent item there. If you go there, try their seafood dishes in particular and see what you think.
re: Pan
how's the nasi lemak at skyway? and, any other specific recs?
also, any preferences for various malaysian or SE asian ice desserts?
also, does anyone remember that great series of posts that I think silverjay (maybe someone else) did on eating malaysian in nyc? that person hit up the same 3 or 4 dishes at all the spots in manhattan at the time (around 2007 maybe); was looking for those threads, it was so good!
re: bigjeff
I wouldn't recommend the nasi lemak at Skyway anymore. The chicken curry that's part of the dish has been too dry. Actually, I've concluded that Skyway has gone downhill some and am now figuring on making more visits to Laut.
I have never liked ABC/Ais Kacang, and never loved Cendol, though it can be OK. The only Malaysian shaved-ice dessert I really like is Sago-Gula Melaka, and I don't know of anyplace in New York where you can get that!
re: GirlFoodieNYC
I went to Laut with a friend from Malaysia. The food was exceptional. They had Thai food as well. We mostly had only the Malaysian dishes. The only Thai was the fish cakes. They were home made and better than even the popular queens thai restaurant .
The chicken was delicious. The laksa was a little different than i;ve had before but very good. They had pineapple i the laksa and gave us shrimp paste on the side. If they know you are from Malaysia or know about Malaysian food, you'll get things like the shrimp paste, the chicken soup with the chicken dish. Dessert was coconut rice steamed in banana leaf. The chef and most staff are from Malaysia not Thai.The place is great
re: foodwhisperer
I did a little research, so to save someone else a little time, the place is at 15 E. 17th St., between Broadway and 5th.
re: foodwhisperer
cool...i'll try it...do you they have a bar there that you can eat it?
re: foodwhisperer
My girlfriend and I went to Laut tonight. Service was very nice, the staff is Malay-speaking (fun but not essential), and the food was good and tasted right. We got Ikan Asam Pedas, made with skate; Kangkung Belacan; and Pulut Hitam for dessert. The kangkung had a good shrimpy taste and was more or less moderately hot. The fish had a very good taste and was slightly hot. We were given some cili padi (birdseye chilis) to add. I'd like it better if the dishes were simply made with uniform spiciness, but they did have the right taste. The pulut hitam came unmixed but ended up being the best I've had in New York, with a very nice coconut creaminess. I won't say that the food was great, but I will say that it was satisfying and good, and I will be back.
One tangential comment: The sound track was funny; I felt like I was in a dance club the whole time. :-)
To sum up, it's a good experience, I recommend it, and I hope that the new addition of sushi that our waitress told us they were inaugurating doesn't end up being the start of a decline in the realness of their Malaysian food. I'm guardedly hopeful.
re: Pan
maybe this is the malaysian food revolution needed; e.g., looked at menupages and nasi lemak is $12 vs the usually $5 or $6 at most c-town/queens places; maybe malaysian food has just fallen into this rut of budget ethnic meals and not something that you can actually pay $30 a head for and not feel like you overpaid and it was worth it for some elevated form of the cuisine. or, that rents in chelsea are simply more expensive than elsewhere. either way, will check it out. a stretch to call this the rhong-tiam of malaysian food?
re: bigjeff
Check it out Big Jeff. i went there with a friend from Malaysia,,,if they know you know Malaysian food they will make it exactly how you expect it to be. They also offer thai food , which i dont recommend except the Tod mon Pla ( fish cakes ) are excellent, really excellent,,,) The people arent thai there, they are Malaysian. If you want a bargain you wont get it ,,but if you want good food you will get that . I went to Malaysian Cafe on UWS for an inexpensive meal of this type ,,,not even close ,,not authentic ,,, I'd rather pay triple for good food. Every dish is good at Laut
re: bigjeff
Jeff, dinner there wasn't expensive. For two dishes plus pulut hitam, the bill was a little over $40 - for two people.
Laut's pretty good but I haven't tried a lot of their dishes. I really liked their Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai but it's not my go-to Malaysian restaurant (I too grew up in Malaysia). I second Nyonya. Love the Asam Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Char Kueh Teow, Yong Tao Foo, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Crispy Golden Fried Squid... I could go on and on!! I don't care so much for the Indian Mee Goreng
ate here last night; finally! and was very very happy. we ordered the asam laksa, the nasi lemak, and the okra with belacan; our waitress later commented that we ordered the most malysian of the offerings; the menu is definitely . . . . . and I'm being generous with the word . . . expansive. more like confusing, what with the sushi bar and crap, but, they pretty much fuse thai and malaysian even tho the place is really a malaysian joint (at least all the staff and such are, malaysian-chinese folks).
the nasi lemak was great; all of the components very good (the ikan bilis was exceptional, such hard-fried anchovies!) while the chicken curry was alright (they used white meat instead of bone-in dark meat); the rice was nice and overall, quite good. the achat/achar was a little limp tho.
the asam laksa was wonderful; very nice thick soup without heaviness, the combination of noodles, the fresh mint, the fish, the major sourness and all the flavors was wonderful. we didn't dump in the little dish of tamarind squid seasoning because the soup tasted fine without it; just an overall very very nice dish, if you like sour and pungency.
the okra with belacan was quite good; not spicy, and somehow, could use a shake of salt, but generous with seasonings, the okra was perfectly cooked and just delicious. there must have been a cumulative spice effect because by the end of the meal, there was actually some lingering heat on my tongue, even though I didn't see any chilis.
their dessert selection could use some shave ice! really wanted some cendol but they only had different variations of sticky rice desserts which we couldn't possibly eat after polishing off our 3 dishes (plus a side of hainan rice and malaysian ice coffee).
had absolutely no problems dropping $50 on this delightful meal for two and the place was quite low-key. almost no sidewalk/street presence but the place was pleasantly crowded so I hope they do well; they've been open for almost a year and the servers and staff were very nice; we got into conversations about food, travel, etc.. the menu looked like they had a lot of different salads which I would like to try next time, and they also serve a rojak off the menu if anyone is into that; our server said they can try to make any dish if anyone has some conception of a malaysian homestyle dish that they left off the menu.
thanks everyone for the recommendations to this place; really enjoyed the meal.
After Penang closed, I've been going to Sentosa on Prince Street in Flushing. The prices are very affordable, easy to get there by LIRR and 7 train and the food is fairly authentic, especially the asam laksa and other noodle dishes. I particularly like the curry mee and the char kway teow and the seafood scramble egg chow fun. The beef rendang tastes like my Mom's. Start with the roti canai and a bowl of hainanese rice to sop up the curry. Some of the rice dishes come out in a ridiculous looking pineapple boat for the tourists but don't let that throw you off. I think the restaurant is Michelin-recommended.
re: suelynyeoh
roti so good, mee hoon goring boring, not a trace of shrimp paste
re: suelynyeoh
have you eaten at laut yet? what other places do you like for malaysian, in manhattan or maybe elmhurst?
short writeup in the NYTimes this week:
seems the writer missed some of the best malaysian hits! wew, she did like that mee hoon goreng tho.
re: bigjeff
Went for lunch today and had the asam laksa, "malaysia traditional spicy sour thick lemongrass fish flake gravy onion cucumber pineapple vietnamese mint - shrimp paste laifun noodle", as the menu says. Great flavor but a tad heavy on the sweet for me. I didn't use any of the dark soy they serve as a garnish, might have liked some lime though. And a bunch more noodles. Unlike the mee hoon goring, Big Jeff, this was rich with aromatic fish flavors.
re: wew
The Malaysian restaurant on Grand St next to Ferrara, had very good Malaysian food and less costly than Laut. I do like Laut, especially the roti, the hakka chicken was good but my Malaysian friend requested broth, apparently its supposed to be served with broth and they dont serve it that way at Laut unless you ask
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: foodwhisperer
The place next to Ferrara is Nyonya, and we differ on it. My experience at Laut is that the food is consistently good and maybe very good, but that's partly because though I don't go frequently, they recognize me and know I have Malaysian tastes, including for hot pepper. My only problem with Laut is that a meal there costs probably over 3 times as much as I would pay at Taste Good in Elmhurst, but the difference is in rent, decor, and ambiance (whether one prefers the attempt at "cooler" ambiance or not). It's basically the difference between around $60 for dinner for 2 vs. maybe $20 or so at Taste Good.

re: phoenikia
I've had asam laksa at Laut and liked it.
re: phoenikia
give Laut a go; it's quite good and delicious there; the price premium is well worth it (and not by *that* much either).
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: bigjeff
Thanks Pan & bigjeff. Will give Laut a try ;-)
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: phoenikia
I don't know what the prix fixe will consist of, but next week is Malaysian Restaurant Week, might be a good time to check the joint out as Laut is one of the participants.
re: bigjeff
thanks for the heads up!
re: bigjeff
I had dinner at Laut last night, taking advantage of the Malaysian Restaurant Week prix fixe. They were awfully nice about providing vegetarian versions of dishes that are, of course, not traditionally veg. Must say that I enjoyed them too. I loved seeing a birthday cake with lit candles emerge from the kitchen and have it be in surprise celebration of one of the staff, not a patron.
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: round2
cool; what exactly is the restaurant week deal or choices?
i was underwhelmed by Laut. the food was good, but nothing supremely memorable
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: thew
Agreed. Ordered-in last Friday and wasn't blown away. While it's not bad, by any means, it definitely won't be in the rotation for my next "Blockbuster" night.
re: bigjeff
I ordered the Tom Kha soup with veggies. Next time, I will do shrimp, instead. Got a side of jasmine rice and a tea, but didn't want to spend over $15. There were a couple of appetizers that caught my eye, but, again, I couldn't go over budget.
re: LeahBaila
You ordered a thai soup and rice at a malaysian restaurant and expected to be blown away?
re: Ricky
Yes, actually, I expected to be much more satisfied. And, like Thew said below, "the foods of southern Thailand and northern Malaysia are pretty damned similar."
re: LeahBaila
Except tom kha isn't a southern style dish. Tom kha is a light soup you'd expect more in Northern Thailand or among Laotians, with added chicken to make it more filling. Panning Laut because its vegetable broth didn't satisfy you is like complaining Phyllis Diller's rendition of "Bad Romance" didn't rock your world.
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: LeahBaila
apps in asian restaurants are usually . . . not good or at least, just not my personal taste; the curry puffs and spring rolls and whatever. so I'd avoid most of those generic ones.
for sure, at Laut the focus for me is on the Malaysian food so you can skip the rest of the menu; thai in manhattan has its own issues anyway.
give it a go and try to order your favorites; I don't remember the menu being strictly organized by country so you'll just have to go thru it and find the malay stuff or, just ask the servers for their best recs for serious malaysian classics; especially if you go this week where the focus is on malaysian, you should be able to have a much more satisfying meal.
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: bigjeff
Agreed. Thanks for the tips, Jeff. I'm sure it's better to dine-in, as opposed to take-out, anyways.
re: LeahBaila
in case you missed this link:
re: bigjeff
Just heard about this! Thanks for the link. :)
re: bigjeff
the lakhsa was good. a friend had softshell crab, maybe in massaman curry, that was good. the claypot was OK, not fantastic, but ok. the thai shrimp and basil was meh.
re: thew
Laut is a Malaysian restaurant that is serving other types of food to appeal to a general audience that wants them. In order to get the most out of such a restaurant, make sure not to order Thai dishes like Thai Shrimp and Basil, and get genuine Malaysian curries instead of Massaman Curry, which is a Southern Thai Muslim curry - definitely related to Malay curry in northern Malaysia but something you would be better off ordering at a Thai restaurant that makes good Southern Thai food.
I agree that Laut is not supremely memorable, but they serve the best, most authentic Malaysian food I've had in Manhattan (OK, the food wasn't spicy enough the first time or two I went there, so it really does help that I speak Malay and they recognize me now, but even then, the food struck me as tasty and made with good ingredients). If you want cheaper very good Malaysian food in much more informal surroundings, go to Taste Good in Elmhurst. I don't think they serve Thai food, and they definitely don't have sushi.
re: thew
I used to live in northeastern Peninsular Malaysia (specifically, Terengganu, plus several visits to Kelantan, though I also spent time in KL and have visited various other places on the West Coast). Though I've never actually been across the border to Southern Thailand, I understand the relationship pretty well and also know that Malaysian cuisine has in recent years been suffused with Thai influence (you can get pad prik, often spelled paprik, in many Malaysian restaurants in Malaysia, for example). Nevertheless, I think my remarks stand as a general rule, especially in New York.
Here's an article from today's NYT about Malaysian/Singaporean food in NY, with KF Seetoh (a well-known Singaporean chef/food authority) as the guide: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/03/din...
NOTE that Laut is NOT amongst the recommended places listed in the article in the insert ... :-) :-)
(Yes, perhaps Michelin should stick to French food)
15 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
re: huiray
nice nytimes article!
re: Simon
Mind you, my comment about KF Seetoh was 'what I was given to understand', if you will. it seems that opinions about KF Seetoh vary.
re: huiray
seetoh is not universally liked in singapore as you can see from that link huiray put up. when he put out his makansutra guide, it was well received, but alot of people think he has turned into some sort of zagat's guide (i.e. not that credible). I don't really have feelings on him either way as i'm not super familiar with all his reviews and i haven't spent enough time in singapore recently to have a concise view on what i like and don't like anymore
also in the NYT article, if you read closely you'll find that some of the restaurants seetoh did not opine on (such as overseas), it was the author (a singaporean food novice) who inferred what he thought seetoh would say based upon the guidance seetoh gave him on what makes a good stringray
re: Simon
It IS nice, though by my count, it contains several geographic errors, one pronunciation error ("canai" in roti canai is pronounced "chah-nye," not "chen-nye," at least in Malaysia), and one culinary error, which I'll mention here, in the description of ikan pari panggang (note the proper spelling, too!):
"Served with wedges of lemon and rings of onion"
No, not lemon; lime! I guess Mr. Seetoh didn't explain to Ms. Moskin that limes are a basic aromatic taste in Southeast Asia, and that lemons are not a traditional crop.
Article on Laut's Michael Bong in The Sunday Star Malaysia today:
re: grandma Zaza
No dispute on that. As far as I'm concerned, Nyonya and Penang suck and Laut is the best Malaysian restaurant in Manhattan. But that doesn't make it worthy of a Michelin star.

When it comes to solving mysteries, these ladies are in a league of their own…
Summer can be the best of times or the worst of times for the resort town of Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie. For Bea Cartwright, business is booming as guests storm her B and B for the Bastille Day celebration. In honor of the holiday, the League of Literary Ladies is reading the Charles Dickens' classic, A Tale of Two Cities. It would be hard to make a more apropos selection—especially when they have their very own Defarge sisters, elderly twins Margaret and Alice, who run the local knitting shop.
On Bastille Day, the head-banging rock band Guillotine shows their chops for the tourists—but the celebration is soon cut short. With something needling the Defarge dowagers and secrets that lead to murder, solving this mystery will be a far, far better thing than the Literary Ladies have done before.
