Westside Tavern!!! OMG!!
- n
- nataliya.v Aug 6, 2009 03:06 PM
Seriously?? It's in a MALL. I mean I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a place this good can be in a MALL for chrissake!
Run, don't walk, to Westside tavern. Had dinner there with some friends last week and I can't stop thinking about it. It was absolutely amazing.
Make reservations, becuase it's packed. For good reason.
Started with some cocktails at the bar - excellent and not too sweet, can't remember what we had... one of them was a blackberry julep, which was great.
What we ordered:
Corn and cherry tomatoes with pesto - so good and so fresh - the pesto was divine
Artichokes with parm - amazing. the flavor was so fresh and delicious, it just melted in your mouth
I had the portobello sandwich, hubby ordered the BLT, and our friends had the lamb au jus and the ravioli.
Everything was mindboggeling good.
The portobello on my sandwich was juicy, tender, and full of flavor - i think a hint of balsamic marinade.
The lamb sandwich was definitely the star - it was tender, exploding with juicy meaty flavor
Ravioli was also excellent - very light
Had a bite of my hubby's BLT and while it was good, I think it was probably the weakest of the entrees.
But you have to make sure to leave room for dessert. Because it is spectacular. Like a mini food orgasm in your mouth. I"m sorry, but it's just that good.
I'm talking about the chocolate toffee cake with caramel sauce. It's sex on a plate. A little chewy, moist, kinda sticky in a wonderfully chocolaty way, on top of some sinfully good caramel sauce that complements the cake and brings out a depth to the chocolate that is undescribable. Also totally big enough to share for 4 people.
I was planning my return visit halfway though the meal. Can't wait to go back. Best part are the prices - all of our entrees were under $18, and the sides and dessert was about $6-$8
re: Phurstluv
OK, before I get tagged, I read they are dinner only.
re: Phurstluv
They had been planning on starting up lunch service in July. So maybe they aren't "dinner only" anymore?
re: Servorg
Guess I should try & call them, latest LA Mag still says dinner only, but they can be notoriously wrong.
And, btw, thanks for the input and not the usual lmgtfy.com response!!!
re: Phurstluv
Their website now says they are serving lunch every day from 11 AM to 4 PM and then they slip seamlessly into dinner service starting at 4 PM until they close at 10 PM Sun. thru Wed. and 11 PM Thur. thru Sat.
If everyone starts looking over their shoulder for the dreaded "Let Me Google That for You" then it can probably be retired from service. ;-D>
re: Servorg
OOhh, happy day!! That means I can go for lunch with the hubby or gfs when the boys are back in school!! Yeah!!
I agree, but it is pretty funny, while it lasts!! ;)
They do not take reservations. But they seem to turn over quickly, I've never waited longer than 20 minutes and it has been packed all three times I've been.
I agree, it is a terrific place. The flatbread as an appetizer is also terrific, just FYI. I love their roast chicken. I've never had anyone I've been with be anything but satisfied. There is a reason it is constantly packed.
Oh, and agreed on the drinks!
Did you smell a fishy/seafood-y smell in the restaurant? I checked the place out a couple months ago, but after walking in a few feet to the restaurant, I smelled a fishy/seafood smell and immediately left. I absolutely HATE fish and seafood and the smell revolts me. Was it a one time fluke, or should I keep avoiding this place?
re: mdpilam
If it was a one time fluke, no wonder it smelled!
re: New Trial
lol...Did you post that just for the halibut? And we have noticed NO fishy smell (or any other sort of unpleasant odor) inside the Westside Tavern while having dinner there. Nor have I seen any such report on Yelp where the Yelper's seem to take great delight in excoriating restaurants for everything and anything (so I figure if there was a problem with a fishy odor it would get plenty of "airtime" -so to speak - over there).
re: Servorg
I don't mean to carp, I enjoyed my one meal at Westside Tavern quite a bit. The size of the crowds are obviously fueled mainly by the multiplex an escalator ride away though. And on my visit the wait was 40 minutes for a table. Not complaining about that, as it was prime Saturday night movie hour, just warning folks to plan accordingly. Considering the location, it's an amazing option for before or after a movie there, or any activity nearby. As long as you don't mind parking in the mall -- which took us another 20 minutes that night.
If only the restaurant in the Arclight could do half as good.
N.B. Yes, the lamb french dip was the best thing we had. And no, it didn't smell like carp.
Had some very nice items there the other night. Not to be missed is the ricotta fritter dessert... involves green cardamom, wildflower honey and some fruity thing on the side. Had a really tasty seared tuna nicoise salad also. Nice staff, too. One thing to keep in mind... don't park in the valet area under the main mall part that has Nordstrom and Macy's, because that closes at 9. Or at least make arrangements with the parking folks there to pay first, and keep your keys, so you can exit.
re: JeMange
No different than sniffing out dives in more dicey parts of town, you pick up that gauntlet and slap those zombies right across their brain eating jaws with it! ;-D>
re: JeMange
Westside Tavern was meant to be the pre-movie dining destination for the Landmark Theater.
re: JeMange
Have you been there? It opens to the street and is adjacent only to the movie theater lobby, which is a whole street across from the actual shopping mall area. There is a Barnes & Noble next to the theater, so there is the threat of slack-jawed consumer bookworms.
As J.L. mentioned, it's really more a Landmark Theater before-or-after movie dinner spot.
Now if you want restaurant-in-mall oddities, I give you the Venetian in Las Vegas, where some really good restaurants are baked into a long indoor mall where tourists go on gondola rides down a fake indoor river.
re: Cinnamon
I have been and I did enjoy my meal. I'm just not a fan of the setting. It's the same with Hungry Cat, which would be my favorite restaurant in LA save for the cursed location. It makes me think of the old Kevin Meaney routine where he said that one day, all of us will live in a mall:
"Good morning shopper Meaney."
"Good morning shopper Smith."
If you've seen the apartments at the Americana, you realize that a mediocre comic was something of a sage.
re: JeMange
LOL, OK, well... steer clear of the Venetian! I do agree it seems odd to have a really good restaurant right at a mall or so close to the theater, but it's wonderfully convenient if you happen to be catching a film.
Someplace like Rock Sugar at Century City (and whatever other restaurant is across from it now) is away from most of the din of that mall, so it seems a little more natural perhaps. But perhaps there is more romance in the freestanding restaurant for a restaurant's sake. Now, on that note, I CAN heartily recommend Saddle Peak Lodge up between Malibu and Calabasas, if you haven't been there already and like good game. Dinner is the treasure you get for finding the place the first time. (After that it's easy.)
Went there for the first time this week. We were on our way out of a movie and down to our car and decided to check it out. We were seated immediately. Had 6 of the best oysters that I have had in a long time. Plump and juicy. Great presentation. I then had the lamb sandwich with potato chips. The lamb was very good as were the chips. I would go back for the oysters alone! My date had a scallop dish, which she loved.
Oh yeah, the service was very good. Our waiter was professional and knowledgeable.
Finally made it tonight to Westside Tavern. I have my sister in town and had been deciding between: Fig, Annisette, Gjelina (could we have even gotten a res.?), and Westside Tavern. (She had just eaten a burger the night before, so FO/Umami were out, and she kept saying she just wanted a good salad) We checked out Annisette and Fig while walking to the Pier, and I was leaning toward Westside Tavern, and finally went with it, and am glad I did!
We got into the restaurant (after having a bit of a time parking -- man, their parking garage sucks), and were told there was a 40 min wait. I figured there might be, so we went over to B&N and killed some time, then came back for a pre-dinner cocktail. Just after we started sipping our drinks, our table came up. Of course my sister decided to not go with a salad, and went with the Sweet Corn and Mozzarella flatbread (pizza) and the waitress convinced me to go with the Duck Confit ("it's only here a limited time") over the lamb french dip. We ended up splitting the meals and both were very good. The flatbread was especially great though. Ignoring nomenclature, and calling this pizza, this was some of (if not) the best I've had in LA. The duck was also very good, rich and succulent (served with a port reduction sauce). We were both saitisfied, but felt we needed something more, so we also went with the Peach Crisp (served with butter-pecan ice cream). OMG -- this was amazing. The peaches were juicy and sweet and the granola crust and butter-pecan ice cream just combined for a better-than-the-sum-of--parts dessert. And I was hesitant because I am not a fan of butter-pecan ice cream. Also, it was a pretty big portion.
I also had the Blackberry Julep, also convinced by a different waitress this time, and it was good, but I still could distinctly taste the mint (I saw it listed in the ingredients, and told the server I didn't really care for mint in my drinks, and she said she'd tell the bartender to go easy on it). It was a bit interesting though, because it came out looking almost like a blackberry slushie.
All in all, I am very pleased with the meal (~$54 not incl. tip) and the service, and look forward to going back for the lamb french dip.

International tennis player Frederica Piedade, a native of Algarve in the southern region of Portugal, has recently been seen in the surrounding area as she prepares for the 2014 US Open, which runs from Aug. 25 to Sept. 8 in Flushing Meadows, Queens.
"My dream would be to train children or open my very own academy," Piedade said. "The rich Portuguese community and interest in tennis on Long Island offers an exciting opportunity [for me] to settle down here when my career is over."
Taking note of the large Portuguese presence in the area, Piedade has made her training base in the Willistons, which borders Mineola, while she meets with leaders and members of the community who have already made her a welcomed member. Piedade has already made an elegant appearance at the Long Island Portugal Day Celebration Gala in May, marched in the Mineola Portuguese parade in
June and was last seen catching the USA vs. Portugal soccer game at the Portuguese Heritage Society's Folklore Festival.
Piedade has collected 11 singles and 19 doubles International Tennis Federation titles over her 17-year career, including championships in Brazil, Egypt, Israel, Mexico, Spain and Portugal, amassing just shy of 500 professional wins. Piedade, who held a career high WTA ranking of 142 in May 2006, has competed in all four grand slams (Australian Open, Roland Garros, US Open and Wimbledon) while having a 12-4 record representing her nation in the International Federations Cup.


text: Obama's War on Workers by Lisa De Pasquale May 8, 2014 12:20 PM PT Share This: Print The Obama Administration wants to eliminate jobs and make more people dependent on the government. There simply isn't any other way to put it. They have turned their sites on for-profit, non-traditional colleges, like trade schools and continuing-ed programs for those who are seeking additional skills or training in a competitive job market. From Derek Hunter at Townhall: For the last few years, the Obama administration has waged a war against for-profit colleges, higher education institutions whose student body is made up of non-traditional students – older and poorer – seeking to obtain marketable skills in this weak economy. The Department of Education has been attempting to impose new regulations on these schools, restricting student loans for applicants, which would shut many of them down and limit higher education options for millions of students. While every college-bound student would undoubtedly love to attend Columbia or Harvard, that's simply not in the cards for most people. For the rest of us, it's smaller schools, cheaper schools, state schools. But a four-year college isn't for everyone, especially right out of high school. Some people, myself included, aren't mentally ready for college right out of high school, and many more simply want to learn a trade. That's who the Obama administration is targeting with their latest attempt to regulate for-profit schools out of existence. Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe has said, "Today, skilled trades are in demand. In fact, there are 3 million jobs out there that companies are having a hard time filling." So, why is the Obama Administration targeting these schools providing the skills for these jobs? As usual, liberals want to be the ones who pick winners and losers in business, education and income. More from Hunter: But this isn't a simple rule, it's 845 pages of regulations. And it's not meant to stop students from making bad decisions. It is a series of flaming hoops for-profit colleges will need to jump through, meant to make it impossible for students to choose a school the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue deems unworthy. As is always the case with these massive regulations, they're written without regard to the fact that these schools are the prefect fit for millions, and the only option for many. Even the Washington Post agrees that these regulations will be devastating to these educational institutions. It is hard, though, to see the logic of requiring schools that serve a challenging population of poor and working-class students to meet 845 pages of cumbersome standards that even many traditional schools would be hard-pressed to meet, particularly since the wrongdoers are in the minority and new protections have already been put in place. ... Public comment on the draft ends May 27. Administration officials told us that they are open to all ideas and that nothing is set in stone. We hope that's so, because the likely outcome of implementing the draft as written is that schools will admit only students who pose the least risk. That will make it harder for minorities, poor people and nontraditional students to get the kind of post-secondary education that might help them improve their lives. Comments for the regulations reports, ironically called "Gainful Employment," can be posted here. Chamber CEO: Obama Administration's New Rules Are 'Pretty Dumb' by Lisa De Pasquale May 12, 2014 12:35 PM PT Share This: Print In response to Obama's War on Workers: An update to my post last week on Obama's War on Workers. Today the U.S. Chamber's President and CEO posted a commentary on the proposed 800+ regulations on for-profit educational institutions. He writes: Students would be hurt the most. Enrollment numbers in private sector educational institutions reflect a growing demand from students who come from low-income backgrounds and underserved communities. By throwing down additional financial obstacles, the federal government could prevent them from pursuing a life-changing opportunity. The Department of Education admits that without the aid tens of thousands of students could be forced out of programs without immediately enrolling somewhere else. Independent studies project that one in five schools wouldn't meet the standard, and that as many as a third of all students at for-profit institutions would be displaced. What happens to their job prospects and earning potential then? And where will employers find workers for jobs requiring specific skills?

Most of the business information used in this website was derived from my experiences while building and remodeling homes (in my younger years), interviewing small business owners (while working as a CPA), maintaining rental properties, and engaging in various money making ventures.
My personal empowerment insights came to me (later in life) from two sources. First, I discovered by accident how to use the creative powers of my subconscious mind. Later, I received a series of magical revelations from the universe.
These revelations showed me how to use empowering beliefs to turn my life around. I was then able to complete this website, formulate the Money Magic concept, and publish my Magic Success Secrets ebook.
These accomplishments are an example of how training your subconscious mind and using empowering beliefs can help you to a better life.
Now I am passing on this vital information. This is my gift to the seekers of a better life, my wonderful visitors.
Give me your feedback, please -- I would appreciate any comments you have about this website. This includes things you like or don't like about this site. You also may have questions about the Money Magic concept and some of the other information provided.
Can this website help you to a better life?
You now have access to information that can help you have more money and success. However, it is up to you to put this information to use. You may need to develop the experience and skills required for whatever ways you choose to earn or save money.
You can do this by trying new activities, learning from trial and error, and accumulating useful experiences. Then you can use your new abilities to achieve your goals. You have done this all through childhood and early adulthood.
Can you use this information to improve your life? I think anyone who is willing to try something new and put in the needed time and effort can do it.
Take myself as an example. By the time I retired, I had lost most of my ambition, energy, and self-confidence. I was in sad shape. However, after receiving and validating my magical revelations, I was able to use these insights to turn my life around.
After resuming work on this website, I developed the Money Magic concept. I achieved this by combining my business experiences and my magical revelations. Then I was able to complete the initial version of this website.
Later, I split off the self-empowerment portion of the website and expanded it into my Magic Success Secrets ebook. These were the first two goals for my retirement.

Mandy Barnett Biography
Review The Artist (11)
Amanda Carol Barnett was born in Crossville, Tennessee on September 28th 1975, the only child of Betty and Dan Barnett. Mandy was named after Amanda Blake, the husky-voiced actress who played Miss Kitty on "Gunsmoke."
Mandy began singing at 5 years old, and began her career the way so many southern singers do-- in church. The first song she learned was "Victory In Jesus," taught to her by the Baptist neighbors who provided her day care. Her first public performance was the song "Because He Lives" in an Easter program at the Holiness Church in Crossville, and even that first time she hit every note head-on, and filled the lyrics with emotion.
Even as a toddler, Mandy wanted to guide her future with her voice, playing 'let's-pretend' childhood games about being a country singing star, rehearsing with a "Mr Microphone," and practicing singing into a Fisher-Price toy stethoscope.
Her early talent and determination did not go unnoticed by her bookkeeper mother Betty, who realized the vocal performance of her child was something that surpassed the quality of almost any adult. To encourage Mandy's talents, her parents played music constantly, and helped to arrange singing engagements anywhere in public they could find: singing in churches with gospel groups, talent contests, VFW halls, lodge meetings, bowling alleys, parking lots, and the occasional honky tonk. Other notable performances includes singing the National Anthem at the Cumberland County Fair, and singing at political rallies for Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander and then-Senator, future Vice-President, Al Gore.
At 9 years old, her contractor father arranged for a professional recording session, and the result was the release of an album of gospel songs as her first commercial cassette. In 1986, when Mandy was 10, she began 2 years of summer theatre at the Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. At Dollywood she once sang "Happy Birthday" while Dolly Parton herself jumped out of a huge cake. And, at Dollywood, she beat out 2,500 adult and child contestants to win the "Best Country Act" in the "Dollywood Search for Talent" contest, which gave her a $500- prize to make a professional demo tape in Nashville.
Mandy's mother then began a telephone campaign to get her 12 year old daughter on the famous "Midnight Jamboree" radio show, broadcast live from Nashville's Ernest Tubb Record Shop after the Grand Ole Opry on legendary radio station WSM. Amazingly, her persistence paid off, and Mandy appeared on the program. Opry star and show guest host George Hamilton IV was amazed at what he heard. He raved about her vocal talents, and said "if there are any producers out there, you better call in." Sure enough, a producer did call. The phone call was from Billy Strange, who was working at MCA Universal Records under industry mogul Jimmy Bowen.
Word continued to spread about Mandy's mature voice and interpretive skills as a performer. At 12, Justin Tubb invited Many to debut on the Grand Ole Opry as part of a tribute show to his father. Mandy performed Patsy Cline's "Crazy" to rave reviews, and family friend and Opry dancer Melvin Sloan took Mandy backstage to meet with all the Opry stars.
Jimmy Bowen personally offered Mandy a recording contract with Universal when she was 13. She made two demo tapes for Universal before Bowen left the label, going to Capitol Nashville Records, and taking Mandy with him. Mandy continued to record demos, going with Bowen from Capitol to his own LibertyRecords label, going through one producer after another, with none of them being able to figure out just what to do with her immense talent. Mandy spent hundreds of hours -- and the labels spent almost $400,000 -- in the studio, learning what kind of music she wanted to sing -- and what kind of music she didn't. Eventually Bowen paired Mandy with songwriter/producer/recording artist Gail Davies as her mentor. But despite all the years of effort, of the hundreds of songs that were committed to tape, no album ever resulted.
In addition to continuing to develop her style in the studio, when Mandy was 16 years old, she began to sing in a weekly bluegrass show at the Fairfield Glade Resort, to further refine her live performance skills.
Mandy attended Cumberland County High School in Crossville, from which she graduated in 1993. While in high school, she was voted both the Secretary of her Future Farmers of America chapter, and the school Prom Queen. Mandy portrayed Annie Oakley in the Cumberland County High School production of "Annie Get Your Gun," and participated in a 50's review called "Brand New Beat." She made her professional theater debut in the Cumberland County Playhouse as Prudie Cuff in "Pump Boys and Dinettes."
Mandy's parents divorced when she was 17, and Mandy then made the decision to move to Nashville to push ahead her recording career. To support herself, she took (and left) jobs at Ponderosa Steak House, an ice-cream parlor, Office Depot, and a job at a halfway house for mentally retarded women. But the singing stardom dream of hers continued to be elusive. In December 1993, her record company dropped her from her recording contract, without ever releasing an album from the many hours of material she recorded with Davies.
Mandy finally became well-known to the musical world at age 18, by starring in the stage musical "Always...Patsy Cline" at the original home of the Grand Ole Opry, the historic Ryman Auditorium.
Mandy only heard about the audition the morning it was to happen, she quickly tossed on an old dress, and grabbed a Polaroid of herself sitting in a graveyard, and rushed to the audition. Although she was dressed less like Patsy than the other 400+ hopefuls from 33 states and Canada, the shows producers heard in her voice the style that none of the others possessed, and she was cast in the role.
Beginning its run in April 1994, the musical tribute was a two-woman show about the life of Patsy Cline, as recollected by a friend/fan of hers. The play included 25 vintage Patsy Cline songs, and a soundtrack album with Mandy performing 18 of these classics was released in 1995 on MCA Records.
Mandy portrayed Cline in 67 shows from April to October 1994, and 91 shows from April to October 1995, earning universally rave reviews for the almost-eerie way she brought the music and persona of Patsy Cline back to life.
Performing in "Always..." opened many musical doors to Mandy, earning her a nomination for "Female Vocalist of the Year" in the Nashville Music Awards, and helping her to sign a new recording contract with Asylum Records. The run of "Patsy Cline" ended in October 1995, and most of that summer Mandy was in the recording studio working on her debut solo album. The album was produced by Asylum Records president Kyle Lehning and producer Bill Schnee, who is well-known for his work with other powerful singers, including Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, and Natalie Cole.
Her self-titled album was released in February 1996, and generated three singles that all hit on the Billboard charts, "Now That's All Right With Me," "Maybe," and "A Simple I Love You." Three promotional videos were also produced, for "Now That's All Right With Me," "Maybe," and "Planet Of Love."
Mandy was also involved, along with country luminaries such as Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood and Tim McGraw, in the all-star choir on the 1996 "Hope" benefit single, and toured the U.S. extensively over summer 1996. Mandy contributed background vocals on the 1996 Kenny Chesney CD, "Me and You," and background vocals on the 1997 Kim Richey album, "Bitter Sweet." Mandy appeared on background vocals for a new song on a 1997 "Greatest Hits" compilation by her childhood mentor Gail Davies, and toured throughout 1997.
She then had three spectacular songs featured in the movie and on the soundtrack album for the 1997 major motion picture "Traveller," starring Bill Paxton, Mark Wahlberg, and Julianna Margulies.
Mandy returned to perform a special reunion run of "Always... Patsy Cline" shows with her former co-star Tere Myers at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in December 1997 and January 1998. Mandy was featured on three duets in 1998, two with Texas crooner Don Walser on his album, and one with talented songwriter Kim Richey on the "Will Sing For Food" benefit album. Mandy spent much of 1997 and most of 1998 test-driving new material at concerts in Nashville and around the country, and working at the Bradley Barn first with legendary producer Owen Bradley and then his brother celebrated guitarist Harold Bradley recording material for her new album.
Mandy contributed one track to the soundtrack of the March 1999 Miramax film "A Walk On The Moon," a scorching cover of the Gene Pitney classic "Town Without Pity."
Finally, after much labor, and with much anticipation, her new album, "I've Got A Right To Cry," was released to rave reviews by Sire Records in April 1999.

Music business wake up & listen | Reviewer: Raburn D. Coln | 8/30/14
This past Friday August 29,2014, My wife & I were @ Dollywood. We were trying to catch as many shows as possible in one day. We dicided to see the Mandy Barnett show & I was blown away. I am a musician, songwriter & have performed with some famous singers. I know talent when I see & hear it. Every note, every word she sings is from the heart. The talent she has & the stage presence along with her natural beauty captivated my wife & me. We got to meet Mandy after the show & she's just as polite, sweet, & real as she seems on stage. Mandy, you are the REAL DEAL. Stay as you are & keep belting out the songs. We will keep buying them.
Her performance with Asleep at the Wheel at Kessler Theater, Dallas | Reviewer: Don Wilcox | 8/1/14
First saw Mandy on Larry's Country Diner and Country Family Reunion. What an awesome voice this beautiful woman possesses. As an old Jewish saying goes, this beauty comes from her heart and it truly radiates wherever you see her. Her enunciation of the words in all of the songs she sings is impeccable. I hope she returns to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area soon. Love to go see her again. Meanwhile, I will buy all of her CD's as she releases them.
SAW MANDY FOR THE FIRST TIME | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/31/14
Crossville !!! | Reviewer: Brenda(Cooper)Whitaker | 2/19/14
I watched Mandy Barnett on LARRYS COUNTRY DINER a few nights ago. She has a beautiful voice.Especially when singing Patsy Cline.A lot of my Fathers family lives in Crossville and I visit there often. I think this is the first time hearing she is from Crossville. After seeing her last weekend on TV I looked up her Bio. As they say .......SMALL WORLD !!
A Wonderful Day | Reviewer: Louis B. Fournier | 1/18/14
Today, I am a cancer survivor. My doctor does not like that statement. He says that you never survive cancer. My throat cancer has a way of returning, sometimes in strange places. All my doctor will acknowledge is that he has not see it's return yet. Another of my doctors says that if if the cancer does not return in five years, it probably won't. So today was a celebration for me -- the 10th year since my cancer was treated. So far, so good. So, I went to the Cracker Barrel for a roast beef dinner. My first meat meal in 10 years!
Somewshere between the meal and a hot fudge sundae, I noticed an advertisement for a CD that was available at the story: by one Mandy Barnett. Pretty girl. I'm 71, but I can still appreciate a pretty girl. Wonder if she can sing! On a lark, I bought the CD.
In the truck going home, I was blown away. First thought: She's a Patsy Cline clone. Second thought: She's better than Patsy Cline.
Third thought: What a great band!
By the 4th time I played the CD (in my truck) I was sitting in my car-port. What a voice!
And then I read this. What's going on? She's more beautiful and more talented that most of the singers out there. And she knows the right people. I wish her luck.
an amazing voice | Reviewer: Barbara Maddox | 12/1/13
My husband and I saw Mandy on nov 16, at symphony center in nashville. The performance was outstanding. I can't understand why she is not considered one of the superstars of country music. She sings so much better than the other female singers that call theirself country. Mandy could give them lessons. She's such a beautiful and sweet person. We hope to see her in concert again soon.
Just saw her on Shotgun Red | Reviewer: Gene Ward | 11/22/13
What a talent i just can't believe she's not on a major label knocking songs out of the park. Whispering Wind is a beautifully written song and her delivery is awesome. A beautiful woman and a beautiful voice.
What Ever Happened To Mandy Barnett | Reviewer: Wayne Anderson | 6/19/13
No doubt of one smoothest sexiest voices in music. Every song that she has ever performed or recorded is art to the ear. What has happened to Mandy though, haven't seen any new releases and news about what this fantastic artist has done since 1999. Very sad that such a talent has been away from her fans for such a long time.
A Very Special Lady | Reviewer: Marion N Chauncey | 3/8/13
I have been a fan since the first time I saw her on TV when she was just 18. I have only met her once, and that was after a Always Patsy Cline performance. I keep wishing she would visit in SE Ga. If I ever get a chance to go to Nashville again, my visit will include Mandy as my primary attraction. To me there is no one who can out sing her today. Marion N Chauncey
Clould Nine | Reviewer: Curt Smith | 2/15/13
She is amazing, When she starts singing it's so easy to start staring off into the sky. I feel a warmth from her voice that just melts me! I can't just listen to one song, when one finishes I sit there and listen to the whole CD. I don't know what "it" is but she has "IT", and then if you see her pic!
"WOW" a Voice, a Smile, a Star in my eyes. "Cloud 9"
I'd love for her to come through St. Louis!
One Great Woman | Reviewer: Christopher Gase | 12/5/10
I was just wondering if she was married or not. Since I've not been yet either, with no childeren. And she seems to have a great american conservitive up bringing. Your voice sounds as beautiful as you look. And any man not willing to stay around and try to make you the happiest woman alive, I think would be crazy. I sure would like the chance. Best wishes on the music and your life. Merry Christmas and hopefully a better new year.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Paul George scored 24 points, David West had 19, and the Indiana Pacers protected their home court with a 107-96 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
Indiana led wire-to-wire and never even gave the Heat a chance to tie the score after starting the game with a 5-0 lead.
Game 2 is Tuesday in Indiana. The home team has won all five meetings this season.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and LeBron James had 25 for the two-time defending NBA champions, who lost for only the second time in 10 playoff games.
Indiana extended the lead to 19 in the third quarter and Miami couldn't get closer than nine the rest of the way.

To participate to the challenge please register at Kaggle's competitions page and follow the instructions there.
Note the deadlines :
- Monday 15th September 11:59 PM UTC time : the challenge is finished
- Friday 10th October 11:59 PM UTC time : new deadline to package one's software (see details), and fill in the fact sheet (necessary to participate to the HEP meets ML award)
- Monday 3rd November 11:59 PM UTC time : deadline to fill in the fact sheet, if no software is provided
The purpose of this web site is to provide additional information.
High Energy Physics (HEP) has been using Machine Learning (ML) techniques such as boosted decision trees (paper) and neural nets since the 90s. These techniques are now routinely used for difficult tasks such as the Higgs boson search. Nevertheless, formal connections between the two research fields are rather scarce, with some exceptions such as the AppStat group at LAL, founded in 2006. In collaboration with INRIA, AppStat promotes interdisciplinary research on machine learning, computational statistics, and high-energy particle and astroparticle physics.
We are now exploring new ways to improve the cross-fertilization of the two fields by setting up a data challenge, following the footsteps of, among others, the astrophysics community (dark matter and galaxy zoo challenges) and neurobiology (connectomics and decoding the human brain). The organization committee consists of ATLAS physicists and machine learning researchers.
The Challenge has run from Monday 12th to September 2014.
A CERN EP seminar (video) has taken place on May 13th to explain and publicize the challenge to the HEP community.
The Challenge
In a nutshell, we provide a data set containing a mixture of simulated signal and background events, built from simulated events provided by the ATLAS collaboration at CERN. Competitors can use or develop any algorithm they want, and the one who achieves the best signal/background separation wins! Besides classical prizes for the winners, a special "HEP meets ML" prize will also be awarded with an invitation to CERN; we are also seeking to organise a NIPS workshop.
For this HEP challenge we deliberately picked one of the most recent and hottest playgrounds: the Higgs decaying into a pair of tau leptons. The first ATLAS results were made public in december 2013 in a CERN seminar, ATLAS sees Higgs boson decay to fermions. The simulated events that participants will have in their hands are the same that physicists used. Participants will be working in realistic conditions although we have simplified quite a bit the original problem so that it became tractable without any background in physics.
HEP physicist, even ATLAS physicists, who have experience with multivariate analysis, neural nets, boosted decision trees and the like are warmly encouraged to compete with machine learning experts.
The Laboratoire de l'Accélerateur Linéaire (LAL) is a French lab located in the vicinity of Paris. It is overseen by both the CNRS (IN2P3) and University Paris-Sud. It counts 330 employees (125 researchers and 205 engineers and technicians) and brings internationally recognized contributions to experimental Particle Physics, Accelerator Physics, Astroparticle Physics, and Cosmology.
Contact : for any question of general interest about the challenge, please consult and use the forum provided on the Kaggle web site. For private comments, we are also reachable at higgsml_at_lal.in2p3.fr.

Oz 'Family First' candidate sacked for todger-flash email
Some details for you
The images in question appear to have been coaxed out of Quah a year or so ago in a baiting exercise after he p'ed off a couple of fellow university forum members. Details of the successful baiting - including these images - were apparently then shared in that forum. When it came to light that he was standing as a wowser about a year later... well, the rest is history, but it should be noted that a true Machiavellian would have released them closer to the election, thereby giving Families First less time to recover.
The blogger who has published the log of the baiting exchange (also a member of that same forum) has promised; "more photos of the disgraced Mr Quah that prove the validity of the third picture he is so desperately protesting."
And if you think things look bad for Mr Quah now...
The relevant chat log has not been confirmed as genuine at this stage, but they and the chatter from oldbies in the relevant forum seem to suggest that Quah was at the time under the impression that he was sending pictures of his penis to girls under the age of consent.

In a July 26 Marcellus Village Board Meeting, mayor John Curtin spoke on the progress of the Reed Street construction, which, as witnessed by residents of Reed and North streets in the days leading up to the July 26 meeting, appeared to be at a halt.
Curtin explained that on Thursday July 22, a DEC storm water specialist had notified the village and all contractors to cease operations immediately pending further review of the SWPP (storm water pollution prevention plan) report.
"They wanted to examine the enhanced phosphorus removal procedural standard that was set by the DEC," Curtin said.
Prior to the meeting, Curtin was informed by town engineer Allen Yager that the DEC storm water specialist seemed satisfied and construction on the road could soon commence.
Vandalism addressed
Curtin noted the vandalism that took place at the Steadman House in recent weeks. He noted potentially related acts of vandalism, including the overturning of several village flower pots.
"This has caused the police to step up patrols," Curtin said, adding that residents are encouraged to be on watch for acts of vandalism in the village.
"I might also mention the outpouring of support that the historical society has received," Curtin said. "There have been a number of offers to pay for the signs, fix the lighting."
Curtin announced that the Syracuse Blue Print, owned and operated by the Nye family of Marcellus, offered to donate a new sign to the Historical Society.
"Donations have come in through a number of sources," he added. "I think it's important to make special note of the generosity, support and encouragement provided by so many in the community."
Meeting notes:
Curtin noted that the village clock has been fixed "and it now chimes as it should."
The village board welcomed Ryan Novak as the new owner of the Chocolate Pizza Company.

4 Ways HR Can Raise Flu Shot Compliance
3.The Mask Alternative
Here's an option for all of those who have non-medical, non-religious excuses for not getting a vaccine: breath through a mask all day.
The Rhode Island Department of Health announced in October that healthcare workers must be vaccinated against the flu, except for medical or religious reasons. Its new rules include a mask policy, which mandates that any healthcare worker that has filed an exemption without a medical reason must wear a surgical face mask during instances of patient contact throughout the flu season, and face a fine each time they do not comply with this policy.
At MGH, this is the first flu season that a mask policy has been implemented, says Gottlieb.
Last year the mask policy was meant to be an incentive for people to get vaccinated, but it was never implemented. This year, the mask policy was implemented very early on, because of the high incidence of flu. Failure to wear a mask is not subject to a specific penalty, though—it's up to the manager to address it with their employees.
The most innovative way I've seen for increasing flu vaccine compliance comes from an injection of humor in the provider community. If patient safety isn't enough to convince hospital workers to get vaccinated, humiliation via parody may get the job done.
Zubin Damania, MD, a former hospitalist and the director of healthcare development for a Downtown Las Vegas revitalization project, has created hundreds of videos addressing public health education with humor. Here's the flu shot video he made for a company-wide meeting at Zappos last fall:

Looking for the answer to Geraldine's question. Did I miss it somewhere? If one is exempt from the vaccine & must wear a mask {PROBLEMATIC IN ITSELF} then the obstreperous, recalcitrant employee who declines the flu shot could also wear a mask.{instead of facing disclipine up to & including termination}....same result, different administrative motives....One is punitive. Read package [INVALID]s from different manufacturers of vaccines...Adverse side effects, testing, effectiveness, adjuvant ingredients...Do some resarch. Read about compliance rate expectations and financial consequences. Vaccinating someone is a medical procedure that requires uncoerced patient consent. Lots of questions, few willing to answer.
Geraldine (1/14/2013 at 3:56 PM)
So we are collecting data of how many people get infected and die from the influenza, I would like to know,and how many of the diagnosed patients with influenza and How many of the people who died, were vaccinated with thte flu shot. Can you provide those numbers?

1/4 Photos of Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (((Authentic)))
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
7 mins
13 mins
I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this was my favorite lunch at the luncheonettes (sandwich shops). Places throughout the rest of the Country that claim to make Philly Cheese Steaks just do not get them to taste the same, and one of the reasons is that they do not use extra-virgin olive oil. Anyone who says that Pat's and Gino's in South Philly uses Cheez Wiz, is talking about the way they make it now. The old authentic way uses Provolone Cheese. Also, using deli roast beef is the same as using top round sliced wafer thin or frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer. I was born in 1942 and this is the way they were made way back then. We are talking about authentic, not the way they are made now. If you make any changes with the ingredients or the directions, it will not be the same. Make it EXACTLY as written here.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The waiting period for cashing winning lottery tickets in the District of Columbia is over.
The D.C. Lottery announced Thursday afternoon that the lottery has resumed normal operations, effective immediately.
The lottery had stopped cashing winning tickets because of the federal government shutdown. Although the lottery is funded entirely by revenue from ticket buyers, attorneys concluded that the lottery couldn't pay out prizes without authorization from Congress. For five days, players were allowed to buy tickets, but if they won, they couldn't collect their prizes.
The city government also requires congressional authorization to spend local tax revenue. The city used emergency funds to keep the government running during the shutdown.

Incident Report for Case #2012-72129
Incident TypeTheft
Incident Date03/18/2012 - 11:31 AM
AddressImmanuel Lutheran Church, 1021 Spaight St.
ArrestedMale, age 50, Madison
Suspect was cited and released for Theft.
Victim(s)Male, age 71, Madison
DetailsAs he walked his wife into church that Sunday morning, he slung his "Boss of the Plains" onto a peg of the Immanuel Lutheran Church's basement rack. The classic Stetson cost him $125 a quarter of a century ago, but as an investigating officer noted in his report: "its sentimental value is far greater than mere dollars and cents." Services started at 10:30 a.m., and it would be 45 minutes before the 71-year old Stetson owner would return to the rack to fetch his prized "Hat of the West." Not there. That which he had worn atop of his head for 25 years was gone. Another man his age might have not known what to do, but not this crime victim. For over 40 years ago he had worn the badge of the MPD. Now the former officer, his wife riding shotgun, was driving the neighborhood near the church. He was on a manhunt, searching for clues. He spotted a good one at the corner of Jenifer and Baldwin Streets. There, walking on the sidewalk, was a man wearing his signature black felt. The pursuit evolved into a foot chase with a passerby helping the former cop detain the suspect while police were called. The suspect wanted an officer to arrest the Stetson owner, claiming he was the victim of a "physical assault." However, the passerby told the officer that the 71-year old did not strike, did not slap, or in any way harm the alleged thief. He merely "kept a firm grasp on his arm" until police were on scene. An officer told the suspect he was hardly in a position to demand anything be done with the man from whom he had stolen. The suspect asserted he had just found the hat "lying around and picked it up." The former officer knew this not to be true because he had seen the man in the church basement drinking coffee and eating cookies at the time he had hung his hat. Being a man who had just been to church, he told the officer he was reluctant to see the subject physically arrested, or banned from Immanuel Lutheran, but "nonetheless felt some accountability would be in order," according to the officer's report. It was agreed upon that the suspect would be given a misdemeanor citation for theft. The former officer collected his undamaged Stetson, and his partner, and headed home from a tour of duty, which was just supposed to be going to church.

The detection of melanoma at its most curable stages can result in decades of high-quality life saved, versus the treatment of this terrible disease at late stages, which offers several months of life extension, at best."
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.
If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
