I want to take my daughter to dinner (She is a Chef) and was thinking of Cynthia's. Seems to get nice reviews - interested in hearing about anyone's experiences here. thanks
Fine choice--Owned by a husband-wife pair of young chefs that do really well and will want to meet her.
Cynthia's made #25 in the Washingtonian's top 100 list: http://www.washingtonian.com/restaura...
re: venera
Never been disappointed in 6 visits. Never seen a bad review.
re: namret
At least they're consistent. Any recs on what dishes are standouts?
I've read a few where they said the desserts and bread are better than the entrees.....the menu isn't totally doing it for me, but I think I'll give it a shot.
re: venera
It's true that they're not wildly ambitious, and stick to more or less standard American fare, but what they do, they do extremely well. I've been there only for lunch, and highly recommend the steak/blue cheese salad and root veg./chick. pot pie. All in all, a very pleasant convivial setting, good wine list, excellent rolls, and an overall good experience.
re: lainamalone
Maybe more New American, I think way better than standard--there was a fresh peapod pureed soup - I begged for the recipe - and I don't like peas.
re: chowsearch
The place is good, but not really standout in my opinion. The food is very heavy.
We went Tuesday night, and it was lovely. Definitely a great place to go, one which we will add to our rotation of faves.
We had reservations which weren't entirely necessary. At 7:30 there were only 4-5 other tables taken, with another 3 coming in that night. The greeting was swift and pleasant, and we were seated with plenty of "personal space," i.e., not immediately next to any other occupied table.
The service was great all night. According to previous reveiwers, the front of the house was young and inexperienced. A young girl was working as the secondary to the server (seating, clearing, running food) but she was exemplary: competent, polite, and gracious.
The amouse bouche was a fried salmon ball with pesto. Not bad, but not out-of-this-world, either. The dirty martini my friend ordered was PERFECT, however.
We ordered two apps: fried oysters and the foie gras. The oysters were hot, and friend nice and crisp. The remoulade was lacking a little kick. The foie gras was paired with a sour cherry marmalade-like fruit, which I thought was divine. My dining partner preferred the liver naked, but I thought that the sweet/sour cherry really lightened it up. The liver was cooked so perfectly: tender tender tender, moist, and light as a feather. Nice work.
Friend ordered bouillebaise, which is what I wanted. It was LOADED with seafood (whole lobster, about 10 mussel shells and about 10 clam shells) but I found the broth lacking a little zing. I think a bit of salt and a hint of something spicy would have evened it out perfectly. He had to ask for the rolls to sop up the juice with, and was given three more hot, tender-crisp homemade buns.
I had the duck breast, which again was cooked perfectly. Great wine glaze, was a perfect compliment. The potato cake and spinach that came with it were also lovely. I thought I'd leave 1/2 of my entree, but it was so good we quickly cleaned my plate.
The chocolate souflee was heavenly. The carrot cake was about average.
The take-home muffins KICKED ASS. Wow, was that crumb topping good.
$170 for two apps, two entrees, two desserts, 4 glasses of wine, a cocktail, and 2 espresso coffes. While I thought the martini was overpriced ($12), the rest I didn't mind paying what I paid. Which says a LOT.
They had several regulars there that that chef and the waitress were chatting up. That was nice to see.
I can definitely see us becoming regulars. It's nice to have a dining option like this outside of Balto city or Annapolis.
re: venera
I looked up Cynthia's web site and the owners are alumi from Patina which was my favorite restaurant while I lived in LA. The menu looks good also, no veg and starch du jour anywhere. I also noticed the humor on the menu which is so Patina. Who wouldn't want to try scallops ala "don king".
I'll try to give them a go soon based on your rec.
re: crackers
Tom Sietsema reported yesterday in his live discussion and got confirmation from someone else who got an email from the owners saying they are closed. The website apparently didn't get taken down yet.
[I do wish people would try to search the site before starting a duplicate new topic. ]

Critics of anti-gay Ugandan bill collect 450,000 signatures
Campaigners opposing Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill have taken an online petition to parliament, signed by some 450,000 people from around the world.
The petition is the latest attempt to halt the bill, which carries the death penalty for some homosexual acts. ...
"This is a bill that requires various members of community, family members, service providers and spiritual mentors to "spy" on one another," a letter accompanying the petition reads.
The campaign is being led by Anglican priest Canon Gideon Byamugisha and he has been joined by HIV/Aids activists and civic organisations.
Campaign group Avaaz, which organised the online petition, hopes to get one million signatures.
Now that an Anglican priest has taken a leadership role in this campaign, perhaps the Archbishop of Canterbury and some of the advisors who urged Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori not to make a statement on this issue will regard their vaunted "sources on the ground" in Uganda with a little more skepticism.

NEHGS Database Newsby Sam Sturgis, Digital Collections Administrator, and Christopher Carter, Digital Collections Coordinator
Connecticut Vital Records to 1870 (The Barbour Collection)
Newly added to Connecticut Vital Records to 1870 (The Barbour Collection): Hampton (1736–1851), Lisbon (1785–1850), Montville (1786–1850), and North Haven (1786–1854). Together, these towns add more than 9,000 records to this database. Compiled from an original Lucius Barnes Barbour typescript in the NEHGS special collections, this database currently contains records for 88 towns in Connecticut.
The complete Barbour Collection contains records of marriages, births, and deaths in 137 Connecticut towns from the 1640s to about 1850 (some towns include records up to 1870). These records were collected, transcribed, and abstracted by Lucius Barnes Barbour (Connecticut Examiner of Public Records, 1911–1934) and his team of researchers between 1918 and 1928. Mr. Barbour was an NEHGS member from 1907 until his death in 1934. This set of typescripts was donated to NEHGS by Mr. Barbour's wife and children in 1938. Remaining towns will be added to the database over the next year.
Record of Burials in the Dutch Church, New York, 1727–1803
Early Records of the Lutheran Church, New York, 1697–1771
These databases were published originally as part of the Year Book of the Holland Society of New York, an organization founded in 1885 to record the history of New Netherland. "The Record of Burials in the Dutch Church, New York, 1727–1803," was published in 1899. It contains more than 3,500 individual name records. "The Early Records of the Lutheran Church, New York, 1697–1771," was published in 1903. It contains more than 3,000 individual name records relating to marriages and baptisms. Names of parents and spouses have been included for both record sets, when available.
Databases in Progress
The next update to the Barbour Collection of Connecticut vital records will include the towns of Bethlehem, Southbury, Warren, and Weston. In the near future, we will also be updating our New Hampshire vital records collection to include marriages that occurred between the years 1901 and 1937. Another database on the horizon is the Pioneer Irish of Onondaga, which contains genealogical information about Irish families who settled in Onondaga County, New York between 1776 and 1847.

A Note from the Editor: Readers Respond
Last week's survey on the events, influences, and situations that inspired readers in their genealogical searches prompted a number of emails. Below is a selection of responses.
Diane Delbridge of Mustang, Oklahoma: For this week's survey, I marked "none of the above" because I had a different inspiration. When I was in the sixth grade our English teacher assigned an autobiography. I remember thinking that was dumb because we were too young to have done anything to write about. But one section was supposed to be on our family trees, so my mother pulled out a pair of booklets that contained the genealogy of one line of our family. (I was so disappointed that I wasn't listed like my parents and oldest sister, despite the booklets being written many years before I was born.) That assignment was the first spark. Then, in high school, I chose genealogy for my senior term paper, and that was gasoline on the fire. I'm still hooked 35 years later, and I'm working on an improved version of the genealogy in those little books.
William D. Romanski of Westerly, Rhode Island: Today's survey was lacking the choice that kicked off my interest in genealogy and family history: attending a family reunion.
Mary & Norm Kronvall of Grand Junction, Colorado: We wanted to add that the television series Roots really got us interested to start with.
Jim Bullock of Littleton, Colorado: The computer was a major factor in my start in genealogy in the 1980s. First, it was finding unknown relatives online. Next, in the early 90s, it was the availability of inexpensive genealogy software—for me, Family Origins, predecessor to Roots Magic. Books and databases on CD-ROM, online genealogy mail lists, message boards, and resources such as RootsWeb were also influential. I probably never would have started if I had had to travel and correspond by postal mail.
Julia: Two of the choices listed in the survey played a role in my diving into a family search: first, my mother was an LDS member and gave me a start with the notes she left me; second, after the deaths of my immediate family members, I felt rootless. But the primary reason I became interested in genealogy was that I wanted to connect with living cousins who might know where to find my sister. I haven't seen her since our father's funeral when I was seven and she was about twenty-one. Although I found quite a few living relatives, none of them had known of our existence! I also love the Sherlock Holmes aspect of researching.
Laura Kozin of Des Moines, Iowa: In 2004, when it became clear that we would lose my mother to cancer, it was suddenly very important to me to know about our family history. Losing her launched me on a genealogical mission. I "collected" and documented hundreds of relations in my database, and in 2010, I made a pilgrimage to eastern Massachusetts. Visiting Taunton, Norton, Mansfield, and Foxborough, where for 300+ years my ancestors had lived, filled places in me that I didn't know were empty. My research connected me with a cousin in the Netherlands who provided information about immigrant forebears I never knew—my grandfather emigrated; his stayed in Groningen. That cousin was my guide to ancient villages whose cemeteries show our family name. Every find inspires more research, and keeps the work feeling relevant. But it was losing my mother that got me started.

You won't be able to resist the 'magnetism' that will draw you to Physics. The atmosphere will be 'electric'. The 'force' will overtake you. You will find that your appreciation of Physics will be 'accelerating' as the 'distance' between you and Physics decreases.
Positive and negative 'charges' will attract. A warm 'current' will flow through you. You will be illuminated by the 'light' rays, and adore the 'images' reflected by 'mirrors', 'lenses', and 'prisms'.
'Resistance' is futile, but not irrelevant. You will be 'pullied' into this relationship, and alas love of Physics 'springs' eternal.

Besides making clients happy, what do you like most about your job?
I love the joy of giving customized rejuvenation time. Every client has the opportunity for introspection and is in charge of their own therapy, so I can better facilitate their pathway to more functional muscle health. Each person is unique and offers me new insights about bodywork in my practice. I'm really blessed to have such a fulfilling career where I can explore new techniques and have fun doing what I love.
How did you get started in the beauty industry? Did you have an "ah-ha" moment in life?
Around 2006 I was completely directionless about what i wanted to do with my life. All of my friends, family, and acquaintances were in agreement that I was calm and centered, and into holistic information and application, so they suggested massage as the perfect career for me.
I was rather taken aback. [At the time], I had only received one or two [massages], which was quite a luxury for me. I hadn't thought of massage as a "health" avenue, but as a option for the elite. I took a risk and signed up for massage school when college didn't pan out for me. I couldn't be more happy with the choice I made. I am still learning so much. The new modalities and practical applications never end, which is what keeps me enthusiastic about my massage and bodywork practice.
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
I am absolutely passionate about the organic lifestyle. I live and breathe it to the point of obnoxiousness to some. However, it is a subject that deserves more public education than I alone can give it. The world must soon see the importance of a toxic-free environment for all.
I believe with all my heart we as people don't vote at the polls, but with our dollars. This is why I will only use the highest quality organic massage oils, essential oil blends, and even organic cotton sheets in my practice. I also hand make organic exfoliating and deep cleansing salt scrubs. We all deserve the best and purest from nature, and to ensure we keep getting it, I, for one, will continue to buy organic no matter the cost. The more who join in, the less toxic our planet will end up for future generations.

Napa and Sonoma, Calif.-based charter company California Wine Tours won a contract to provide the North Bay (San Francisco) 49er Fan Express, which was previously run by Golden Gate Transit.
A ride on the California Wine Tours 49ers Fan Express will cost between $25 to $30 roundtrip and include complimentary water, free high-speed Internet access and restrooms. The charter company will also show 49ers game highlights, Super Bowl replays and other NFL promotional videos and, along with the 49ers, will sponsor raffles on each coach to include 49ers memorabilia and gift certificates for limo rides, as well as a grand prize raffle for the final game of the season.
Golden Gate Transit coordinated this service for 30 years until changes with Federal bus charter regulations no longer allowed public transit organizations to provide transportation for charters.
"The staff at Golden Gate Transit has been very helpful in getting out the word that California Wine Tours is now the source for the North Bay fan shuttles," comments Marino. "It is impressive to see the team work that is taking place all over the Bay Area as we all work together to transition these shuttles away from public transit authorities to the private sector," says Mike Marino, president/CEO of California Wine Tours.

Albemarle County says the red light cameras at Rio Road have been so effective that they want to add another one. This time, it will be on Pantops at the intersection of Richmond and Stony Point Road.
For Supervisors, the proof is in the numbers. County police report the Rio Road cameras have been effective in cutting down on accidents and red light runners so they want to expand.
As of July 26, the Rio Road cameras at the intersection with Route 29 have taken 16,382 pictures since activation in December 2010. That has resulted in 9,909 tickets amounting to $137,000 for the county.
"They're busy intersections and a high number of accidents. That's what we tried to look at is those intersections we could help to improve the number of accidents that are very busy and we have a lot of running of the red lights," said Ken Boyd, Albemarle County Supervisor.
Redflex is the company that installs and monitors the cameras and it takes on the preliminary costs of putting them up. Then the company takes a small portion from the ticket revenues to continue the operation.
"Our hope was that from the very beginning, we'd get to the point where it was a losing proposition and we could take them out, but then we would have no running of red lights which would be what we'd ultimately like to achieve," said Boyd.
Supervisors will discuss the new cameras on Wednesday. If approved, they could be up by the end of the year.
"We'll probably evaluate the two of them together and decide where we go from there," said Boyd.
By law, the county can put up a camera at one intersection per 10,000 people. With 100,000 people in the county, that leaves the roads open for eight more lights in the future.

Choosing the right kind of social media marketing technique is vital for the year 2014. This is due to all the newer and advance businesses looking for ways to take a business' spot in the search engine ranking system. In other words, the higher a business' website ranks on a search engines the more visitors the business' website gets which means increased sales. So how do we know which social media websites are best for increasing brand reputation? Good question and that question can be easily answered by thinking about how popular a social media website is. In this article there will be a list of popular social media marketing techniques for the year 2014.
Interactive videos
During the end of 2013, the demand of interactive videos has increase. In other words, the use of interactive videos will become a trending way of promoting a brand while at the same time answering clients' or customers' questions about a certain topic or item rapidly yet efficiently. Many believe that the use of interactive videos in 2014 will allow companies the upper hand on grabbing the attention of future clients or customers swiftly. While this is one that will become commonly used amongbusinesses, both for profit and non-profit, many predict that the use of many social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter will be second hand tools for traffic.
Build your own network
In 2014, building your own network is going to be a must rather your company is for profit or nonprofit. The use of your own network enables you to have a list of your clientele's phone numbers, mailing addresses, and so much more. For now social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter offers marketers access to such information only if they are paying marketers. However, when social media marketers discover they can obtain this information through the use of their own network, social media websites will become a thing of the past.
Paid social will become a requirement for social marketers
Even though building your own network will force the popularity of social media websites to plummet, doesn't mean businesses aren't going to utilize them to the best of their ability. When it comes to social marketing and the use of social media websites, paid marketing is going to be mandatory especially for those who are looking to have access to special feature that will help with attracting visitors and gaining profits. With that being said this will soon decrease the organic marketing benefits of social media and will force marketers to work harder and gain full knowledge about utilizing paid social marketing sites.
This is a warning, if you are living in the marketing world, it is vital not to ignore paid social media because with the increase in demand for the usage your competitor will always have the upper hand of gaining profits and continuous clientele.
Pay to play
When in the mist of marketing, you know how it important it is to get your work across millions through the use of a catchy ad. While social networking websites like Facebook, which recently changed is algorithm which hurt organic reach for millions of websites, and Google+, which introduced ads, these site will make it difficult for marketers to get consumers attention forcing them to "pay to play" for the visibility they need to attract consumers. While this will hurt many the most effect companies will be the small business due to the fewer resources they possess.
Blogging to attract visitors
Blogging has become a popular way to increase visitors and sales for non-profit, profit, small and large companies. While major social media websites are focusing on ways to drop organic search results for business you still have a chance at drawing in the best organic search needed for your website which through creating fresh yet unique content for you website on a regular basis. According to many, this will become the #1 choice, if not the only choice, to gain visibility through organic search. Rather you may know it or not, blogging helps webmasters gain benefits in many ways.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Did you know...?
Many people don't realise that we are a travel agent and when you come to our site you see the prices and availability of chalets, hotels and apartments from all the major tour operators and many small operators (we work with over 40 ski tour operators). We are saving you a lot of time and effort by bringing all this information together, as well as getting some great prices and exclusive offers from our suppliers.
What many people also don't realise is that many of the big ski brands are part of the same organisation. Iglu is an independent agent so we don't have any affiliation to any of the tour operators, our goal is to offer the best choice and prices for our customers.
Earlier this summer quite a major event happened in the ski industry, the Enigma Travel Group was sold to Hotelplan UK. Now this will not mean anything or sound very exciting to most people, but it has created the second largest ski tour operator group bringing together the brands of Inghams, Ski Total and Ski Esprit, and putting the Hotelplan UK group not far behind TUI Ski in size.
Is bigger better? In a tough economic climate if savings can be made through economies of scale and passed on to the consumer then everyone is winning, and it creates some healthy competition for the market leaders which is never a bad thing.
Shaun White, love him or hate him, is possibly the greatest competition snowboarder of all time. The snowboarding community are often split over his skill and drive in the sport but one thing you can't doubt is how he has helped shaped competition riding over the past decade.
Before picking up his first Winter X-Games Gold in 2002 Shaun was also making a noise in the world of skateboarding and was often seen as a prodigy of Tony Hawk. Over the summer months Shaun still skates as often as possible, though his fierce competitiveness and the fact skating is seen as his second sport has often led to a similar reaction with skateboarding to that from the snowboarding community.
Not one to let these opinions affect him Shaun has spent the second half of this summer killing it on the Dew Tour, already racking up back-to-back gold medals. In the last event he was evidently the best competitor, and though the like of Bob Burnquist & Sandro Dias were there, the amplitude of his tricks blew the competition away.
Roll back to the Vancouver Olympics, with an awkward build up to the competition - Kevin Pearce, Shaun's main competition, suffered what could yet be a career ending head injury - the 'Flying Tomato' again wow'd the crowds. After Pearce's injury practicing the now well documented double-cork, there were calls from the organisers to ban the extremely technical, dangerous and awe-inspiring trick. Many of the world elite including Peetu Piiroinen and Scotty Lago were throwing down huge variations from their repertoire along with the famous double-cork, though White pulled his incredible variation of the trick - the Tomahawk - out of the bag.
Some argue that he lacks the spirit of riders such as Travis Rice or Britain's Scott McMorris, yet none of us can under-rate his undoubted skills and drive to succeed. For many snowboarders the way his riding centres around competition doesn't represent what snowboarding is all about. His movie parts are limited compared with most big name riders and most snowboarders relate to their favourite riders by their style. The kids at the indoor slopes love to watch Mikey Le Blanc or JP Walker hitting rails and powder fans love to see Jeremy Jones and Travis Rice hiking ridiculous lines in Alaska & Japan. Though his parks runs are often immense and any freestyle fan loves to see his skills, his lack of riding natural terrain causes many to wonder if his skills are too calculated and not 'impromptu' reactions to the mountain around him.
Over the past few years Shaun White has bought snowboarding into the limelight. Along with his back-to-back Olympic Gold medals and his endless snowboarding and skateboarding X-Games wins he has taken on the world of media in a whirlwind of success.
How many snowboarders can boast a private half pipe? Well Red Bull built him one at Silverton Mountain prior to the Olympics. His attitude has landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and he even graced the pages of the US publication of Playboy (he did an interview as opposed to getting naked!). How many athletes can say they've been interview by David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey? His success in the media and his ability to promote the sport globally is a skill that comes second only to his riding.
The world's most famous snowboarder may not always be the world's most popular, but you have to say has become one of the most influential guys in the sport and comparable to Jake Burton, Terje Haakonsen, Shawn Palmer, Jamie Lynn and Travis Rice. To some he may be irksome, but he's also a legend.
Now the summer solstice has passed, the longest day of the year was three weeks ago, we now have the shorter days of winter to look forward to. The peak time of year to organise, plan and book ski holidays is now upon us.
With that in mind I took to thinking what can I do this winter to make sure I'm fit enough to make the most of a week in the mountains? My pre-season trip last December finished early with a damaged ACL in my right knee, so this year I want to make sure everything is in full working order before I go.
As I'm not a gym bunny, and many of us aren't, I decided to go down the doughnut-friendly and non-scientific route. After a few conversations with the Igluski experts and the help of Iglu's friends and fans from Facebook and Twitter, I have come up with a few helpful tips on getting ready for your skiing holiday. Some of these activities need months of practice, others can be taken up a few weeks before you leave.
Now skiing holidays don't merely involve skiing, there is also the three course meals, carb cravings and the odd après ski drink to prepare yourself for. Not all of us have the ability to eat Christmas dinner proportions of food, followed by skiing the next day for a whole week.
So it may only be July, and the only skiing or boarding I'm likely to do over the next five months will be at one of the fridges in Milton Keynes or Hemel Hempsted, but it's seems as good a time as any to let the training begin.
So where to start?
Bend it like Beckham One of the first suggestions we had was to try Yoga or Pilates, as they are good for core strength and flexibility. And according the Brad Friedel, yoga is the reason he is still a top goalkeeper at 39. Ok so football isn't exactly skiing, but 'keepers spend a lot of time either in the air or throwing themselves onto the floor, and that I can relate to!
Head to your local dry slope Instead of handing over £20 to ride the carpet like slopes, another suggestion we had involves both exercise and a real commitment to skiing. Help relay the slope's dendex, this way you experience manual labour, to burn off the summer's ice-creams, and the added benefit of getting in a few turns afterwards.
On you bike One of the most popular suggestions is among the most cost efficient and easiest. Either jump on your bike or get your trainers on and go for a run.
Don't take the lift Burn off a few more calories and stretch those leg muscles by taking the stairs instead of lifts or escalators, another free exercise for most office workers or commuters on London's Underground.
Work those hands My personal favourite. Our in-house ski instructor, August, suggested a great way to improve your ski pole grip is to... squeeze limes. Yes that's right squeezing citrus fruit is good for skiing!
Get your drinking jacket on According to our sales manager AJ drinking two shots of Jaegermeister a day after work will improve your après ski fitness.
Another colleague in the Iglu team mentioned the biggest mistake he ever made was having two weeks without drinking before a holiday. During which his ESF instructor plied him with a little too much Genepy one lunch, writing off his afternoon on the slopes.
So there you have it. Take a yoga class, use the stairs, go for a run and squeeze some lime into your pre-holiday drink. Now there's a training plan even I could handle.
